Sean Stone, son of American film director, producer and screenwriter Oliver Stone, speaks to CNN and shuts the mouth of Piers Morgan (CNN). Stone clearly points out the irrational thinking and war mongering being promoted by western mainstream media.

Iran Cuts Oil to Six EU Countries

Iranian state TV says Tehran has cut oil exports to six European countries in response to European Union sanctions, which include a boycott of new oil contracts with Iran.

No details were immediately made available on the Press TV report on Wednesday, including which six nations were affected by the decision.

The move comes days after Iran's oil minister, Rostam Qassemi, said Tehran could cut off oil exports to "hostile" European nations as tensions rise over the Islamic Republic's nuclear program.

Iran argues that the EU oil embargo will not cripple its economy, claiming that the country already has identified new customers. European sales account for about 18 percent of Iran's total crude exports.

State television reported earlier on Wednesday that Iran has made advances in its nuclear programme, building new uranium enrichment centrifuges and producing its own nuclear reactor fuel plates.

The announcement, to be confirmed by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad later on Wednesday, was likely to further unsettle the United States and allies who believe Iran is also forging ahead with atomic weapon development.

Iran has developed "4th generation centrifuges" made of carbon fibre that are "speedier, produce less waste and occupy less space" as they spin at supersonic speeds to purify uranium, state television reported, citing Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation. 

Iran Reportedly to Reveal "Very Big New Nuclear Achievements" in Coming Days

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stated that Iran will reveal “very big new nuclear achievements” in the very near future during a rally in Tehran marking the 33^rd anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.

On Saturday, Iranians celebrated the 33^rd anniversary of the revolution which brought down the Western-backed monarchy; seemingly a great opportunity for Ahmadinejad to make such a landmark announcement.

However, Ahmadinejad would not elaborate on the upcoming announcement, instead just highlighting Iran’s unwillingness to ever give up their uranium enrichment program, according to the Associated Press.

While Iran continually denies the claims that they are working towards producing nuclear weapons – a charge which has also been refuted by United States Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta on no less than two separate occasions – the West refuses to back down from these allegations.

Iran says that they have been forced to domestically produce nuclear fuel rods because international sanctions have blocked them from buying them on foreign markets, and Ahmadinejad said he would never yield to the West if it continued to utilize “the language of force and insult.”

In his speech in Azadi Square in Tehran, Ahmadinejad told a sizeable crowd that “all the needs of the Iranian nation” would be met by Iranian nuclear scientists in the near future.

“God willing, the world will witness the inauguration of great achievements in the nuclear sphere in a few days,” he said.

These are quite bold statements indeed, and it remains to be seen they can be backed up or if it is just hollow boasting in an attempt to show that they are staying strong despite Western sanctions.

The Media and Iran: Familiar Mindlessness

The lesson supposedly learned by the U.S. establishment media from the Iraq debacle was the danger of relying on anonymous government sources to disseminate unverified fear-mongering accusations. Rather obviously, no such lesson has been learned, as this continues to be the primary reporting method for accusing the Supreme Hitlers of the Moment — Iran — of anything and everything the U.S. Government can dream up. The latest entry, and one of the most egregious yet, is this Washington Post screed appearing under this headline and hovering scary picture:

Here’s the crux of the story, by R. Jeffrey Smith, Joby Warrick and Colum Lynch:

The Obama administration is investigating whether Iran supplied the Libyan government of Moammar Gaddafi with hundreds of special artillery shells for chemical weapons that Libya kept secret for decades, U.S. officials said. . . .The discovery of the shells has prompted a probe, led by U.S. intelligence, into how the Libyans obtained them; several sources said early suspicion had fallen on Iran. “We are pretty sure we know” the shells were custom-designed and produced in Iran for Libya, said a senior U.S. official, one of several who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the accusation.

So it isn’t merely that the prior Hitler of the Moment — Moammar Gadaffi — had Weapons of Mass Destruction, but far more alarming: Iran likely manufactured and gave Gadaffi those WMDs! Is there no Evil behind which these Persian Monsters are not lurking? Here are all of the sources the Post reporters cite for this claim:

U.S. officials said . . .  several sources . . . A U.S. official with access to classified information . . . a third U.S. official said. . . .One U.S. official said . . . .another U.S. official said.

The Post‘s own Ombudsman has repeatedly bashed the paper for its excessive, ill-explained, reckless use of anonymous sources (which violates even the Post‘s own non-public anonymity rules), and has insisted that the paper’s “credibility” — to the extent such a thing can be said to exist — is being steadily eroded by this practice. Here, the Post screeches a sensationalized, highly consequential story (it even proudly notes these disclosures “may exacerbate international tensions over the country’s alleged pursuit of weapons of mass destruction”) based exclusively on anonymous U.S. official sources, and barely pretends to explain why anonymity is justified (that the accusations are “sensitive” is an added reason to ensure accountability, not protect the government accusers with anonymity).

The Crime of Making Americans Aware of Their Own History

From: Set You Free News
William Blum

Is history getting too close for comfort for the fragile little American heart and mind? Their schools and their favorite media have done an excellent job of keeping them ignorant of what their favorite country has done to the rest of the world, but lately some discomforting points of view have managed to find their way into this well-defended American consciousness.

First, Congressman Ron Paul during a presidential debate last month expressed the belief that those who carried out the September 11 attack were retaliating for the many abuses perpetrated against Arab countries by the United States over the years. The audience booed him, loudly.
