By Michael Collins Piper A tough-talking Marine, who was a ballistic missile advisor to General Norman Schwarzkopf in the first Gulf War, Ritter says that the same pattern of lies and disinformation used by the Bush administration and its allies in Israel to get the United States engaged in the war against Iraq is now being used to drag the United States into a war against Iran. Ritter’s book, Target Iran, subtitled “The Truth About the White House’s Plans for Regime Change,” issues a warning Americans need to heed, because everything Ritter said earlier about the drive for war against Iraq was proved correct. As famed investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has said: Ritter is able to speak out so profoundly because he is virtually inoculated from the charge of being “anti-Israel” or “anti-Semitic.” As Ritter notes in his book, in his service in the military and in the weapons inspection field, he placed his life on the line in defense of Israel. Ritter writes: “If Iran were to attack Israel without provocation, I would argue long and hard for America to come to the aid of its friend and ally. But I cannot tolerate the idea of America being pushed into a war of aggression against Iran when Iran threatens neither Israel nor America. And this is what is happening today. Israel has, through a combination of ignorance, fear and paranoia, elevated Iran to a threat status that it finds unacceptable. “Israel has engaged in policies that have further inflamed this situation. Israel displays an arrogance and rigidity when it comes to developing any diplomatic solution to the Iranian issue. “And Israel demands that the United States take the lead in holding Iran to account. Israel threatens military action against Iran, knowing only too well that in doing so Israel would be committing America to war as well. “When it comes to Iran, Israel can no longer be said to be behaving as a friend of America. And it is high time we in America had the courage to recognize this, and take appropriate actions.” Ritter notes the United States and Israel are “two completely distinct nations, and should never be treated as one and indivisible.” He says the United States must rein in powerful Israeli lobby organizations such as the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. Americans also need to recognize that “national loyalty is a one-way street, and in America, for Americans, that one-way sign points only toward the United States of America. Those who are interested in an in-depth examination of the realities — not the propaganda — about Iraq and its nuclear program (and the way the truth has been twisted by Israel and its allies in the Bush administration) should read Ritter’s book. It is available for $25.95 at most bookstores or by going on the Internet to http://nationbooks.org or by writing: Nation Books, 245 West 17th Street, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10011. The simple fact of the matter is that Iran has no capability to enrich uranium. Furthermore, it is not known if Iran is capable of constructing a P2 centrifuge that functions. This is a vital piece of hardware and enrichment cannot be done without it. Ritter Debunks Iranian Nuclear Threat in this transcript excerpted from the short film clip at YouTube: "Iran can't separate molybdenum from its uranium. So, if they run UF6 (Uranium Hexafluoride) contaminated with molybdenum through a centrifuge cascade it will destroy the cascade. This is known. This is known by everybody. "So this is absurd in the extreme to talk about Iran suddenly representing a threat. We know Iran doesn't represent a threat." One comment by Ritter which caught this editor's eye was a hit at the dual-loyalists in and out of government in the U.S., where Ritter says, “national loyalty is a one-way street, and in America, for Americans, that one-way sign points only toward the United States of America. This is clearly intended to put the neocons and other Zionist symathizers and collaborators on notice that their disloyalty to America and pursuit of treasonous activities intended to put the policies of Israel ahead of the true national interests of the U.S. (rather than the interests of the corporate elite) will not be tolerated by nationalist-minded and loyal patriots. We see this as completely disgusting behavior and something which no nation can tolerate. As Cicero said, "Even a murderer is less to fear." What is more disgusting about the vilification of Iran (a replay of the same propaganda used against Iraq) and the ever-present Islamophobia spread by the subservient and lapdog sycophantic mainstream media such as FoxNews, CNN and others, is that we find out an Iranian filmmaker, Nader Talebzadeh, is currently touring the U.S. while interviewing a cross section of Americans for his upcoming documentary, From Tehran to Texas, which has been completely ignored by the mainstream press. Talebzadeh says that Iran & U.S. Have Much in Common, as this additional article by Mike Piper and American Free Press shows. Talebzadeh also says he has found one issue on which those he interviewed agree: they oppose the idea of a war against Iran as dangerous and unnecessary. As a friend of mine, who happens to be fluent in Farsi, points out at http://Freedom4um.com where this second article is posted, "It is a crime against humanity, culture, and civilization that the fascists in control of the Executive Branch are actively planning a catastrophic nuclear attack on this ancient and cultured nation." But, then, what is there that is respected by the neocons and their Zionist masters but the Trotskyist ideology of perpetual war, and the destruction of any nation or civilization which opposes them, in a frenzied blood lust of eternal Talmudic revenge? It is a fact that the civilization and religion of Islam is the last remaining culture to oppose the usury of the international bankers. This in itself is reason enough for the plotting of the destruction of this ancient culture by the international bankers. Piper points out in further comments by Talebzadeh, In Talebzadeh’s judgment, much anti-Islamic hostility is the consequence of political propagandizing by what he candidly referred to as “Zionist” elements determined to stop Christians from learning how much there is in common between Islam and Christianity. As Talebzadeh predicts, and rightfully so, he believes Americans will ultimately change their government from an empire and that it will "survive as a free republic, transformed for the better." We can only hope that this transformation will come soon. But the wisdom of the matter tells us it will not likely be with the upcoming November elections. It is a foregone conclusion that whichever half of the ruling duopoly of the fraudulent two party system takes power, even at the 2008 elections, little will change but for a few small things which may then be proclaimed as change, but is merely window dressing to keep the sheep quiet. The best thing that could happen is that people would stay home and boycott the theft of their votes by the electronic voting machines. That would send an unmistakable message that people are fed up with the current fascist tyranny.
‘Made in Israel’
October 23, 2006 | American Free Press
The ongoing controversy over alleged nuclear weapons development by Iran is “a crisis made in Israel.” This charge is made in a new book by Scott Ritter, who — for seven years — was one of the top United Nations weapons inspectors in Iraq. 
Scott Ritter: Right about Iraq. What about Iran?“The most important thing to know about Scott Ritter, the man, is that he was right. He told us again and again in 2002 and early 2003 as President George Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair prepared for war in Iraq that there were no weapons [of mass destruction].”
“The conflict currently under way between the United States and Iran is, first and foremost, a conflict born in Israel. It is based upon an Israeli contention that Iran poses a threat to Israel, and defined by Israeli assertions that Iran possesses a nuclear weapons program. None of this has been shown to be true, and indeed much of the allegations made by Israel against Iran have been clearly demonstrated as being false. And yet the United States continues to trumpet the Israeli claims, and no individual more loudly so than the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton.
Editor's comment: Scott Ritter has been at the forefront of the effort to expose the attempt to vilify Iran for doing what is permissible under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, of which Iran is a signatory. "To actually run a cascade that enriches uranium, Iran will have to use its own indigenous supply of uranium ore which is heavily contaminated with the element molybdenum (and other elements - Ed.).
But Talebzadeh was able to build kinship on the basis of religion, letting Christians know that “every day when we Muslims get up at dawn and pray to God, we are praying for the safe and timely return of Jesus Christ.” This is something, he noted, most Christians don’t understand about Islam.

No, but routes to the Caspian sea oilfields lie within the territory of Iran. Clearly, Iran is toast.
All of those pipeline routes have been set up to bypass Iran. The problem of the Empire is that Afghanistan and Balochistan (Pakistan), where the trans- Afghan pipelines are scheduled to be routed, is where there is the most unrest among the Taliban and al-Qaeda types plus other tribes. Not to mention the Pakis just backstabbed the Empire by making a deal with the Chinese to upgrade the port facilities at Gwadar which would be the southern terminus of the Afghan pipelines.

You don't think Washington is satisfied with that state of affairs, do you?
Who said that? Are you quoting someone, or setting up a straw man?

Gelite fish?
The destabilization of Iran and the breakup of Pakistan will accomplish what they wish. An independent Balochistan will include parts of Afghanistan and Iran (547,000 sq km) plus take up about 40% of the current geography of Pakistan and includes the natural gas deposits.

Funny you should mention destabilization. Ahmadinejad has apparently been responsible for rampant inflation.
You don't say? Got any facts or figures?

You don't say? Got any facts or figures? I've got something even better: slander and libel. http://www.ir anian.ws/iran_news/publish/article_18039.shtml Iran's Top Mullah Orders Ahmadinejad to Tackle Inflation Oct 2, 2006 Iran's supreme mullah has told President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's government to stem painful price rises, in a move analysts said was a reminder that the president will be judged on the economy not his nationalist slogans. Ahmadinejad swept to power last year on promises to share out Iran's oil wealth more fairly. But his spending plans are fuelling inflation, economists say, and have drawn criticism from the central bank, lawmakers and the press. "In recent weeks, the issue of a rise in prices has put people, particularly those with low incomes, under high pressure. The government and economic officials should probe the reasons for this issue and try to ease this problem," mullah told the cabinet on Sunday. Khamenei has the last say in all matters of state and, publicly, tends to stay above the fray of day-to-day politics. While he may hold regular meetings with the cabinet, making his advice public is not common, analysts say. "In addition to redoubling efforts to solve the people's problems, the people should be informed of the government's attempts so that their hope rises more and more," state television quoted Khamenei on Monday as saying. Ahmadinejad has appealed to the crowds with his public defiance over Iran's nuclear standoff with the West, but analysts say that ultimately he will be judged on the economy. "It is true that the government has been successful in rallying people around the nuclear issue and it is true that the government, and Ahmadinejad in particular, has been able to overshadow economic issues," analyst Mahmoud Alinejad said. © Iranian.ws http://www.turkishdailynews.com.tr/article.php?enewsid=56438 Iran's Ahmadinejad blames media for inflation Thursday, October 12, 2006 print this page mail to a friend TEHRAN - AFP Iran's hardline president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has blamed the media for rising inflation, after the supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei urged him to control surging prices, a press report said. "A wave of propaganda created by national and non-national media in the past months has played up the issue of rising prices," Ahmadinejad said in a Cabinet meeting, cited by Aftab-e Yazd daily. These media "have sought to portray the government as incapable as if it had been supposed to reduce inflation (rate) to zero percent within a year," he said. "Inflation had always existed and it had even risen by 50 percent under previous governments." But the chairman of state broadcaster IRIB, Ezatollah Zarghami, rejected the president's criticism. "The scale of inflation is clear," Zarghami told the official IRNA news agency. "Perhaps the president has not had the time to watch all the television programs or maybe the reports reaching him are incomplete. "When the published price of a kilo of meat is 39,000 rials ($4.30) but it is actually fetching 60,000 rials ($6.60) on the market, we have a duty to tell people." The official rate of inflation stands at an average of just over 10 percent, but unofficial sources estimate the figure is close to double that rate. The prices of staples such as meat and chicken have surged for the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, sparking complaints by Iranian families and getting front-page coverage in the press. Khamenei responded by calling on the government to control inflation. "In recent weeks, the issue of high prices has put a lot of pressure on people, especially low-income ones. So the government and officials should look into the causes of the issue and solve it," he said earlier this month. Ahmadinejad said the extermination of millions of chickens in a bid to fend off bird flu in February was the reason for rising meat and poultry prices. The president was elected on a platform of delivering the oil riches of OPEC's number-two exporter to the people but economists have warned expansionist economic and monetary policies risk fueling inflation. A group of leading university academics wrote in a letter printed in the Iranian press in June that Ahmadinejad's economic policies were "lacking a scientific and expert basis" and risked causing "persistent inflation."

This sounds roughly equivalent ot what is happening here. The real inflation rate is at least double of what is proclaimed. Maybe the Iranians will figure out that spreading around all of that oil wealth (more money chasing the same amount of goods) is what causes inflation.
