Key Facts to Keep in Mind While Opposing War Against Iran!

• What is the rhetoric against Iran really about? It is about USD hegemony. Iran has announced they will convert all their dollar reserves to Euro. It is about oil hegemony. Iran is the last piece of the middle east oil puzzle that is still not under the control of the western Illuminist power. You should never be fooled by all the lies and propaganda which these Illuminati controlled politicians dish out. Remember Iraq? It is still an illegal and immoral war. Over 1 million Iraqi civilians have died. The country has been bombed hollow. The intention of the Illuminati power is to dismember countries so that they cannot reconstitute and become a threat to it.

  As we prepare for a barrage of anti-Iranian media spin, it would be good for anti-war activists to remember five basic facts:
   
  One: There is absolutely no evidence that Iran is trying to develop a nuclear weapon.
  Two: The U.S. has not discovered a “secret nuclear facility” in Iran.
  Three: The recent Iranian tests of long-range missiles is a purely defensive exercise.
  Four: Despite what we all have repeatedly heard, Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad does not deny the Holocaust. (Please see quotes below.)
  Five: Iran has a lot of oil. A whole lot.
   
  On Oct. 1, a senior Iranian diplomat is to meet with representatives of the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council: the U.S., U.K, France, Russia and China, plus Germany, a group dubbed the G-5-plus-1. These will be the first international talks to address Iran’s nuclear program in more than a year.
   
  During these negotiations, Iran will attempt to discuss a wide range of issues. The six countries – or at least the U.S., U.K., France and Germany – will make demands on Iran’s nuclear program that they already know will be rejected. These four most powerful Western nations will then move to impose even harsher sanctions than the three sets they have already rammed through the U.N. Security Council.
   
  There may even be a military attack on Iran by Israel, a move already given the green light by U.S. Vice President Joe Biden. And this will all be in violation of international law. Is Iran trying to develop a nuclear weapon?
   
  Iran has a program to develop nuclear power for peaceful energy purposes. Part of that program involves enriching uranium to power nuclear reactors. Enriched uranium is also an essential component in building a nuclear bomb, but the enrichment process is so different that it would be virtually impossible to conceal it, and Iran is the most inspected country in the world.
   
  Further, Iran was one of the first countries to sign the U.N.’s Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), under which it renounced the right to build nuclear weapons in return for not only the right to develop nuclear power, but to receive help in doing so from the world community.
   
  There is absolutely no evidence that Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons. None. Zip. Not from the International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA, the U.N. body charged with making sure NPT members abide by that treaty. Not from the U.S. and its 16 separate intelligence agencies, nor from Israel and its Mossad intelligence agency nor from counter-revolutionary Iranian organizations such as the Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MEK), all of which have been working overtime to come up with any fact, report, material or rumor with which to indict Iran.
   
  Meanwhile, of course, none of the G-5, G-5-Plus-1, G-20 or G-We-Rule-the-World countries are saying “boo” about Israel’s estimated 200 nuclear weapons, let alone the U.S. with its 10,000.
   
  It’s true that Iran has a lot of oil, but oil is a finite resource. Even Iran’s vast reserves will someday run out. So it’s developing alternative sources of energy, including solar and wind, as well as nuclear.
   
  The U.S and other Western powers are opposed to Iran developing nuclear power because that would ensure Iran can remain independent. And strong. And influential in its own region. And that is unacceptable to the world’s former colonizing powers.
   
  Iran, like Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, North Korea, Zimbabwe, the Sudan and many other countries, rejects the status of a “second-tier” country. These countries refuse to accept the authority of the Empire. They have thrown off the yoke of colonial oppressors and have charted their own independent courses on the world stage. Their peoples are like runaway slaves who have established their own modern maroon colonies and as such are viewed as a threat to the orderly administration of the New World Order. And they must be brought back under control, lest they serve as dangerous examples for those peoples still enslaved.
   
  That’s why keeping those countries from developing technologically is a prime goal of U.S. foreign policy. Has the U.S. discovered a “secret nuclear facility” in Iran? On Sept. 21, the Iranian government sent a letter to the IAEA in Vienna describing the construction of a plant designed to enrich uranium, up to 5 percent in purity, sufficient for energy production but well below the 90 percent level required for weapons-grade material. “Further complementary information will be provided in an appropriate and due time,” the letter stated.
   
  According to the provisions of the NPT, Iran and other treaty signatories are required to inform the IAEA six months before a uranium enrichment facility becomes operational. President Ahmadinejad later told a news conference that the new facility won’t be up and running for 18 months. In other words, Iran was a year early in fulfilling its treaty obligations to provide notice to the IAEA.
   
  But on Sept. 25, U.S. President Barack Obama, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and French President Nicolas Sarkozy interrupted their G-20 meeting in Pittsburgh to hold a press conference at which they charged Iran with constructing a secret nuclear fuel facility.
   
  Sarkozy, whose country depends on nuclear power for 80 percent of its energy needs, detailed intelligence information that Brown said would “shock and anger the whole international community.” Obama charged Iran with “breaking rules that all nations must follow … and threatening the stability and security of the region and the world.” The next day, Iran announced it would place the plant under the IAEA’s supervision.
   
  So: Iran built a nuclear facility. Then, fully one year before the required deadline mandated by the U.N.’s NPT, it informed the IAEA about the plant’s existence. But, just days before the Oct. 1 seven-nation negotiations, the leaders of the U.S., U.K. and France decided to hold a dramatic press conference to denounce Iran for breaking the rules.
   
  A Sept. 26 story in The Washington Post noted that “the rapidly escalating confrontation provided (Obama) with a fresh opportunity to project toughness and success on the world stage. Obama’s detractors have long called him naive for his willingness to engage diplomatically the nation’s adversaries, including Iran. Republicans say his decision to change the deployment of a missile shield for Eastern Europe demonstrates weakness, and critics have chastised him for taking time to weigh a decision on sending additional troops to Afghanistan.
   
  “The announcement also provided a boost for the CIA at a time when the agency is facing harsh attacks – and possible prosecution – for detainee interrogations.” Are the recent Iranian missile tests an offensive move?
   
  Starting on Sept. 26, Iran began testing a number of missiles, including its medium-range Shahab-1 and Shahab-2 and, on Sept. 28, its longer-range Shahab-3. The latter missiles are believed to have a range of up to about 1200 miles, far enough to reach Israel, U.S. bases in the Middle East and parts of Europe. So the question is, are the missiles meant to be defensive or offensive?
   
  Defensive, according to Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari, commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, as quoted by the semi-official Fars News Agency: “As a result of this capability, those who used to speak of attacking Iran are now declaring that they entertain no such desires or thoughts, for they have realized that attacking Iran is an extremely dangerous act.”
   
  It’s a little hard to argue with that logic, since Israeli officials have now toned down their threats to attack Iran, citing an increased international concern after the revelation that Iran had been building a new uranium enrichment facility.
   
  Yes, the missiles could be used to attack as well as defend or retaliate. But Iran hasn’t attacked another country for hundreds of years. For it to launch a war now against nuclear-armed opponents would be a complete departure from 30 years of foreign policy into the realm of insanity, something for which there is no recent historical precedent.
