| Zionist (JINSA/CSP/PNAC) Neocons and their US media cronies after Iran for Israel Iranians Call for End to Nuke Negotiations - Yahoo! News The entire Middle East is about to be enflamed even more.. Perhaps the entire world eventually too. All for these nefarious Zionists who serve Israel first.. http://story.news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050508/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iran_nuclear Iranians Call for End to Nuke Negotiations By ALI AKBAR DAREINI, Associated Press Writer Sun May 8, 2:59 PM ET Iranian hard-liners on Sunday called for an end to nuclear negotiations with European powers and said they opposed any deal imposing limitations on Iran's nuclear program. But Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said Iran will remain committed to talks with Europeans despite a lack of progress. Asefi said Iran has decided to resume certain nuclear activities it voluntarily suspended in November, but actual uranium enrichment — injecting uranium gas into centrifuges — will remain suspended for now despite hard-line calls for its resumption. Enriched uranium can be used to produce warheads, but it also can be used to make electricity, which Iranian officials insist is the sole purpose of their nuclear program. Washington accuses Tehran of trying to build nuclear weapons. Iranian state-run radio quoted Alaeddin Boroujerdi, the hard-line head of parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy committee, as saying Iran should end its suspension of uranium enrichment and that continued nuclear talks with European countries would be a waste of time. "Iran has taken the necessary steps to build confidence and show transparency," Boroujerdi was quoted as saying. "The time has come to end the voluntary suspension of uranium enrichment." France, Britain and Germany, acting on behalf of the 25-nation European Union, are offering Iran economic incentives in return for guarantees that Tehran will not use its nuclear program to make weapons. Last month's Iranian-European talks yielded no results. Boroujerdi reportedly said more talks with the "three European powers will have no outcome other than being a waste of time." "France, Britain and Germany have shown that they don't have the necessary capacity and powers to reach an understanding with the Islamic Republic of Iran," he added. Sunday's hard-line Jomuri-e-Eslami newspaper said details of a deal between Iran and the Europeans allegedly under study was tantamount to "selling Iran's independence." The daily claimed the deal will let Iran operate 3,000 centrifuges in Natanz in return for strict supervision of the facility and approval of the additional protocol to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty allowing intrusive inspections of Iran's facilities by experts from the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency. Asefi, the Foreign Ministry spokesman, rejected the reported deal as media speculation. Asefi said Iran won't restart actual uranium enrichment, but it has decided to resume some nuclear enrichment-related activities at its uranium conversion facility in Isfah http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/nucthreat.html The above is how I thought it would go (just as Scott Ritter's neocon source has conveyed as well for that 'Sleepwalking to Disaster in Iran' article which one can scroll down to at the following URL): JINSA Israel firsters: 'IRAQ DOWN, IRAN LEFT TO GO' http://www.warwithoutend.co.uk/wake-up-america-your-government-is-hijacked-by-zionism/2005/04/06/jinsa-israel-firsters-iraq-down-iran-left-to-go.php The attack on Iran is coming soon... Maybe Israel and the USA will do it together (the following is part of an email reply from Kristoffer Larsson who wrote the 'A Zionist War' article which is linked at (Chomsky is wrong as well in that the Zionists in Israel and in the USA did indeed care about Iraq as one can read about via the 'A Clean Break'/war for Israel agenda conveyed earlier in this message thread and discussed on pages 261-269 and on page 321 of James Bamford's 'A Pretext for War' book): http://www.ariannaonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23715 Concerning the ME, I believe Iran is Israel's major concern. "Iran is the central problem of the Middle East," as Peres said earlier this year. Chomsky said, in December 2002: The fact is that war with Iran is probably underway. It's known that about 12% of the Israeli airforce is in south eastern Turkey. They're there because they're preparing for the war against Iran. They don't care about Iraq. Iraq they figure's a pushover, but Iran has always been a problem for Israel. It's the one country in the region that they can't handle and they've been after the US to take it on for years. According to one report, the Israeli airforce is now flying at the Iranian border for intelligence, provocation and so on. And it's not a small airforce. It's bigger than the British airforce, bigger than any NATO power other than the US. So it's probably underway. http://www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?SectionID=15&ItemID=2804 I removed it from my article due to Jeff questioning the accuracy in stating that "12% of the Israeli airforce is in south eastern Turkey." I looked it up, and didn't find anything supporting Chomsky's claim. But he is right about Iran though. Especially if they have nuclear weapons.

| Jeffrey Blankfort responded (as Jeffrey Blankfort had written the 'War for Israel' article via www.leftcurve.org/LC28WebPages/WarForIsrael.html ): I think you underestimate the importance of Mr. Bolton when you describe him as a hack, which generally would describe a low-level operator who his employer generally wants to keep out of sight. Bolton, on the other hand, is a proud and distinguished member of the JINSA board, as was VP Dick Cheney, and he has no more qualms than Cheney or any other member of the JINSA board when it comes to sacrificing young American soldiers for the security of Israel whether it be in Iran or Iraq, as is currently the case, or did I quote 9-11 Executive Director Philip Zelikow incorrectly when he told that panel in Virginia in September, 2002, that the war in Iraq "is for the security of Israel but we couldn't have sold that to the American people.?" Jeff Blankfort Jeff Blankfort had responded to the following email sent to Michael Gordon who is at the Iran desk at the US Department of State: Dear Mr. Gordon, You might want to review the following 'Sleepwalking to Disaster in Iran' article by former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter as it seems to be very plausible after reading the Financial Times article which is included below as well: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article8408.htm Are you familiar with the 'A Clean Break: Strategy for Securing the Realm' agenda of Zionist (JINSA/CSP/PNAC) Neoconservatives Richard Perle, Douglas Feith and David Wurmser (as discussed in detail on pages 261-269 and on page 321 of James Bamford's 'A Pretext for War' book)? The current Bush regime is basically following the 'A Clean Break'/war for Israel agenda like a template (with attacks on Syria and Iran to come as well - sooner rather than later apparently) as Bamford also conveys in 'A Pretext for War'. Some of the www.warwithoutend.co.uk links included below in the email to Adam Ereli are currently not going through but will again very soon. John Bolton is basically a hack for JINSA (Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs which Vice President Dick Cheney has also been associated with) whose mission will be to take on Russia at the UN Security Council in order to get the attack on Iran underway for Israel (how many more Americans will die and get horribly wounded for such an un-American agenda?) as Bolton's mission will also be to take down the UN so all those UN Security Council resolutions against Israel go away as well: http://www.robert-fisk.com/articles114.htm http://www.thenation.com/doc.mhtml?i=20020902&s=vest Israeli Origins of Bush II's Iraq War: http://www.thornwalker.com/ditch/snieg_isrorgs.htm Just heard on the news that Iran will be taken up at the UN Security Council (for Israel, of course!) if it goes ahead with its nuclear enrichment program (no concern by the USA about all those nuclear missiles in Israel though as this is such a blatant double standard in the Arab/Muslim world).

Western diplomats said Monday's statement by a top Iranian official that it would resume “in the next few days” activity related to uranium enrichment was a “serious” development. Iranian hardliners seeking to provoke an international crisis had gained the upper hand in Tehran, they suggested. “The Iranians do seem serious about going ahead and, if they do go ahead, they will be in breach of the Paris agreement and we wouldn't be able to continue our negotiations with them,” said a British official. Britain, France and Germany, the so-called EU3, have been leading talks with Iran aimed at securing guarantees that it will give up its nuclear ambitions. Tehran had suspended enrichment of uranium, a process that could lead to development of a nuclear weapon, under an agreement reached in Paris last year, but the talks have since made no progress. According to Tehran's official IRNA news agency, Mohammad Saeedi, deputy head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation, told a university conference yesterday: “We will lift the first stage of our suspension, that of our UCF [uranium conversion facility] project in Isfahan, in the next few days.” The Isfahan plant is used to convert raw uranium into a gas. The gas can be fed into enrichment centrifuges for purification into a fuel that can be used in nuclear power reactors or, if purified further, into bomb-grade material. British officials said last night that, by taking such a move, Iran risked referral to the council, which in turn could lead to economic sanctions being imposed. Mr Saeedi said Iran wanted to continue the negotiations and insisted it was not resuming actual enrichment immediately. It would wait for European Union reaction before proceeding. But the British official insisted: “Iran is fully aware of the implications if they were to start any part of the nuclear fuel cycle.” An EU diplomat told Reuters that resumption of the work would lead to problems and that the EU3 would support a referral to the security council. The latest comments out of Tehran were now believed to be a statement of intent, not merely a threat. An official said: “We've had extensive contact with the Iranians over the last week and there is clearly an argument going on in Tehran. Those who want to resume their enrichment related activities have got the upper hand on this.” Iran has denied US accusations it is trying to build atomic weapons and says its facilities will only be used in a civilian energy programme. The US has refused to rule out military action.

| Iran Poses Dangerous Threat, Peres Tells ADL Jerusalem, May 9, 2005 … Iran poses a grave security threat to Israel and the greater Middle East, Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Shimon Peres told members of an Anti-Defamation League (ADL) leadership mission visiting Jerusalem. "Iran is the most dangerous country around, because the mullahs believe their religion is superior, not unlike Hitler believing the Aryan race superior," Mr. Peres told the ADL leaders. "Iran's nuclear capability is in the hands of the Muslim fundamentalists and terrorists who are opposed to modernity." The ADL leadership mission led by Barbara B. Balser, ADL National Chair and Abraham H. Foxman, National Director was in Israel after participating in the March of the Living in Poland marking the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the camps and defeat of the Nazis. The delegation met Monday with several high ranking Israeli government leaders, including Mr. Peres, Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom, Minister of Justice Tzipi Livni, and Jeremy Issacharoff, the Deputy Director-General of Strategic Affairs in the Foreign Ministry. On Iraq, Mr. Peres said that, "it was necessary to remove Saddam Hussein, and no on else could do it but the Americans." ... Citing "the centrality of the threat of Iran toward Israel," Mr. Issacharoff told of three areas of Iran's influence -- direct support and funding for Palestinian terrorist groups, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad; support for Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon; and Iran's developing nuclear program. http://adl.org/PresRele/IslME_62/4712_62.htm | |  | | Alpha | | Posted: Thu May 12, 2005 2:48 pm Post subject: Iran Threat Propaganda Heats Up |

This attack, the Bush administration and its neocon string pullers believe, will trigger a coup by freedom-loving moderates inside the country, thus freeing the population from the grip of the fanatical Mad Mullahs. These grateful moderates will then align themselves with Uncle Sam, embrace democracy and reserve their oil for the exclusive use of American drivers, eager for a resurgence of Sport Utility vehicles. Now the military-industrial-religious complex has to convince the American people that this attack is justified, and they have begun to do just that. Right wing radio, television, and even the main stream media are now referring to the “Iran Nuclear Crisis’ every chance they get. Jerome Corsi has just come out with a new book claiming that Tehran has already acquired a nuclear weapon of mass destruction and is planning on detonating its 150 kilotons in downtown Manhattan. Locally, Tom Bauerle and his main source of disinformation, Doug Hagman and his Northeast Intelligence Network, are spending considerable time and effort trying to convince their listeners that Iranian nuclear terrorists are lurking around every corner - and at the time selling corporate security systems to keep folks safe! | |  | | Alpha | |  | | Alpha | | Posted: Fri May 13, 2005 8:30 am Post subject: European Officials Warn Iran |
| European Officials Warn Iran By Dafna Linzer The Washington Post Thursday 12 May 2005 Nuclear activity would mean end Of talks, letter says. European officials notified Iran for the first time yesterday that they will walk away from two years of talks and sign on to a Bush administration strategy for punitive measures against Tehran if it makes good on threats to resume nuclear work in coming days. In a sharply worded letter to Hassan Rouhani, the head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, the foreign ministers of Britain, France and Germany warned that such work "would bring the negotiating process to an end." The letter added: "The consequences could only be negative for Iran." The letter was an attempt to avert an escalation in the crisis over a program Iran says it developed in secret to produce nuclear energy, not atomic weapons. It appeared to have an immediate effect. After weeks of threats, Iranian officials said they decided to hold off for now on a plan to notify the International Atomic Energy Agency today of their intent to restart a uranium-conversion facility in the town of Isfahan. Instead, an Iranian diplomat who spoke on the condition of anonymity said his government was exploring an offer contained in the letter for a four-way meeting sometime in the next two weeks to discuss the latest flare-up. The willingness of the European trio to take Iran to task if it ends a suspension of its nuclear program after six months indicated that the Bush administration is having some success in persuading key allies to take a tougher approach with the Islamic republic. The European shift was prompted in part by frustration with Iran but also by a change in tactics by the White House. After two years of refusing to back Europe's diplomatic track with Iran, the administration decided in March to support the process in exchange for written guarantees that if talks fell apart, Europe would agree to take the issue to the U.N. Security Council. "This is the closest we've gotten to reporting Iran to the council since November 2003," said one U.S. official. If Iran informs the IAEA that it plans to resume work at any nuclear facility, "it will set off a series of outcomes and escalations towards the Security Council that will be hard to stop," said the official, who would discuss the sensitive discussions only on the condition of anonymity. But neither European nor U.S. officials were confident yesterday of what a referral to the council would ultimately mean or how much support they could expect there. Unlike the IAEA board, the council has the international legal authority to impose economic sanctions or threaten Iran with force if its program is seen as a danger. Both China and Russia have said they want the issue resolved within the IAEA, and Security Council members are leery of making any moves that could be perceived as hostile or that might be used to justify later military action against Iran. Iran's program is within its rights under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which allows countries access to sensitive technology as long as it is used for peaceful purposes and not for weapons development. Iran maintains that it is adhering to that arrangement. But the scale of its program, as well as the secrecy under which it was developed, has undermined its position and led the Bush administration to believe Iran intends to build nuclear bombs. Iran's main nuclear site was exposed by a dissident group in 2002, setting off an investigation now in its third year. The U.N. inspectors have said they have no proof that Iran is trying to build nuclear weapons. But the Bush administration has not accepted those findings. Under pressure, Iran suspended its program in an agreement with France, Britain and Germany that was supposed to yield economic benefits in exchange. In their letter, a copy of which was made available to The Washington Post yesterday, the European countries emphasized that the prospect of lucrative trade deals is still on the table but that "this sort of progress will be jeopardized" if the suspension breaks and the talks fall apart. Iranian officials, too, have expressed frustration. They had expected the negotiations to be brief but say they now find themselves deep in Iran's presidential election season with little to show after six months. At a round of talks in London last month, Iran offered a four-phase plan that would allow it to resume operating much of its program, including 3,000 centrifuges, equipment used to enrich uranium. That kind of industrial-scale capability could allow Iran to produce enough bomb-grade uranium for a single nuclear device within a year. Iran, which is considered by U.S. intelligence to be seven years away from a bomb, has promised not to enrich uranium to those levels and said the machines could operate under 24-hour surveillance by U.N. inspectors. But that offer was rejected by European negotiators who believe the only guarantee is an end to enrichment. If the sides are not able to resolve the latest crisis, Iran could go ahead with work at Isfahan. That decision would trigger an emergency meeting of the IAEA board next Wednesday in Vienna, where US and European negotiators would issue an ultimatum to Iran to back down, officials said. If Iran breaks IAEA seals on equipment in Isfahan, one European official said, "they will be referred to the U.N. Security Council" during the board's regularly scheduled meeting on June 13. IAEA inspectors arrived in Isfahan yesterday and are standing by in case the Iranians decide to restart the facility. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Iran May Keep Freeze on Nuclear Activities By George Jahn The Associated Press Thursday 12 May 2005 Diplomats say Iran considering keeping its freeze of suspect nuclear activities. Iran is considering backing away from its threat to immediately resume activities that can be part of the process of making nuclear weapons, in an apparent attempt to defuse a showdown with key European nations, diplomats said Thursday. One of the diplomats told The Associated Press that Iranian government officials in Tehran were discussing maintaining their freeze on uranium conversion because of a warning from key European countries that such a move would result in "consequences ... that would only be negative for Iran" diplomatic code for likely action by the UN Security Council. In Tehran, Hasan Rowhani, Iran's top nuclear negotiator, appeared to be creating some wiggle room to allow his country to maneuver. While saying his country would "resume part of its nuclear activities in the near future," his statement Thursday appeared more vague than other recent Iranian pronouncements warning such a move would come in the next few days. It seemed in line with earlier repeated Iranian insistence that the country has a right to enrich uranium and conduct related activities including conversion. Tehran has repeatedly served notice any suspension of enrichment and related programs program would be temporary and brief. The various signals out of Tehran left officials at the International Atomic Energy Agency the U.N. watchdog monitoring Iran's nuclear activities guessing about Iran's intentions. Speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, one diplomat close to the agency earlier said the IAEA had expected formal notification that conversion activities would restart on Thursday. And Sirous Nasseri, a senior Iranian envoy confirmed hours after arriving in Vienna on Wednesday that he was carrying a letter from his government to the IAEA. While he declined to disclose the contents of his letter, diplomats who follow both Iran's nuclear dossier and the IAEA's work said it likely contained word of Iran's intention to resume conversion as part of a process whose end result is uranium hexafluoride a substance that can be turned into either energy producing uranium or more highly enriched weapons grade material. A well-connected diplomat said Nasseri met with the IAEA official in charge of monitoring Iran's freeze late Wednesday but did not deliver the letter, describing the encounter as a "social call." Any formal notification of resumption of conversion would torpedo Iran's talks with France, Germany and Britain. Those talks are intended to ease suspicions about Tehran's ultimate nuclear aims. The United States says Iran wants to make a nuclear bomb, but Iran insists it is interested only in a source of energy. Washington has long maintained that Iran's nuclear program kept secret for nearly two decades until revealed by a dissident group in 2002 is meant to make weapons, and as such, Tehran's nuclear dossier belongs in the hands of the Security Council. But because of strong resistance at previous IAEA board meetings, it reluctantly embraced the European diplomatic efforts. The on-off talks, which began last year, have failed from the beginning to find common ground on the European insistence that Iran scrap or at last agree to a long-term suspension of uranium enrichment and related activities, and Tehran's insistence that any freeze was voluntary and short-lived. The last formal round ended inconclusively April 29. The Europeans appeared braced for the inevitable. Beyond their letter, delivered Wednesday in Tehran to government officials, diplomats in Vienna said the three nations had begun informal contacts with the IAEA about convening a special session of its 35-nation board should the Iranians tell the agency they were ready to break IAEA seals on conversion equipment in the central city of Isfahan. Such a session could be called within days of formal notification by Iran of plans to resume conversion. The diplomats said a likely scenario would see board nations giving Iran a two- to three-week deadline to change its mind. If it refused, sentiment at the next board meeting probably in June would be strong to declare Tehran in violation of its agreements to suspend enrichment while negotiating in good faith with the Europeans. In that case, the board might refer the case to the U.N. Security Council. One senior Western diplomat said the three European nations also were consulting with the United States on a common course of action. A senior U.S. official in Washington said earlier that the Bush administration was conferring closely with the allies and that all the governments were determined there would be consequences for Iran if it ends the moratorium. While the Europeans had been key in previous board opposition to referring Iran to the Security Council, senior officials in several European capitals suggested any resumption of reprocessing would leave them no choice but to support such a move. "I think the reaction of the ... Europeans is going to be very tough if conversion resumes," said one who spoke on condition of anonymity. "It's not possible to get the Europeans scared." | |  | | Alpha | | Posted: Fri May 13, 2005 7:57 pm Post subject: Galloway hounded by AIPAC cell within U.S. Congress; Bolton |
| Galloway hounded by AIPAC cell within U.S. Congress; Bolton tied to same cell http://www.onlinejournal.com/Special_Reports/051305Madsen/051305madsen.html By Wayne Madsen Online Journal Contributing Writer May 13, 2005—At a time when the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is being investigated for its role in an espionage case involving Larry Franklin, a Pentagon and Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) official indicted for passing top secret classified information to two AIPAC officials and possibly the government of Israel, a senator who is bought and paid for by AIPAC—Republican Senator Norm Coleman of Minnesota—has decided to change the subject and point to newly elected Respect Party Member of Parliament George Galloway as receiving oil funds from Saddam Hussein. The charges against Galloway and other politicians around the world were originally based on documents secured from the rubble of the Iraqi Foreign Ministry and proffered by the corrupt Ahmad Chalabi—the man who pressured the Bush administration to use discredited "intelligence" about Saddam's mobile chemical and biological weapons laboratories from an alcoholic, congenital liar and mentally unbalanced cousin of one of his associates, an individual code-named "Curveball." Coleman, with pro-AIPAC Democratic Senator Joseph Lieberman, is using the Senate Permanent Sub-committee on Investigations to rehash charges that foreign and even U.S. officials financially benefited from the United Nations' Oil for Food program. These charges, which later were proven false, first surfaced in the neoconservative controlled London-based Daily Telegraph, owned by the Hollinger Corporation, a company that had financial ties to arch-neoconservative Richard Perle. The charges by both the Daily Telegraph and now Coleman's committee are based on documents as bogus as the Niger yellowcake documents and those proffered by Curveball and Chalabi about Iraq's fantasized weapons of mass destruction. Galloway successfully sued the Telegraph for libel over its baseless Oil for Food allegations against him. The only new information on which Coleman is basing his allegations are interviews conducted with Iraq's former vice president and deputy prime minister both of whom are in U.S. custody and awaiting war crimes trials led by Iraqi prosecutor Salam Chalabi, a nephew of Ahmad Chalabi and law partner of Marc Zell, the Washington, DC, law partner of Douglas Feith, the person for whom accused spy Larry Franklin worked at the Pentagon while spying for Israel. If ex-Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan and former Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz are receiving even one-eight the harsh treatment meted out by U.S. troops and Israeli contractors to prisoners at the Abu Ghraib concentration camp, none of their so-called testimonies are worth the paper on which they are printed. Coleman charges that Galloway received up to 20 million barrels of oil allocations between 2000 and 2003 from Saddam's government. Galloway rightly charges that Coleman and other committee members are "lickspittle Republicans" acting in the servitude of Bush and his cronies. In addition to the statements of the imprisoned Saddam Hussein officials, Coleman is also basing his new allegations based on documents retrieved from the Iraqi Oil Ministry from convicted embezzler, con man, and neocon puppet, Ahmad Chalabi. What has Coleman's panties in a twist is the fact that in the recent British elections, Galloway, who was expelled from the Labor Party for his anti-Iraq war and anti-Bush politics, made easy work of his Labor Party opponent and Tony Blair sycophant, Oona King, an African-Jewish daughter of—ironically—an African-American draft evader from the Vietnam War. King was one of Tony Blair's most ardent supporters for his decision to join Bush in a genocidal war against Iraq. For that, she earned the support of the international neoconservative network of influence holders and peddlers that can, according to a senior Bush administration official, create their own reality because of their ownership of much of the international media. However, King also earned the enmity of her large Muslim constituency in East London's Bethnal Green and Bow district. They rejected King and threw their political weight behind Galloway. There is little doubt that the neocons in the British Labor Party are working hand-in-glove with people like Coleman and his neocon friends and political supporters in AIPAC to punish Galloway and make it hard for him to use his reinstated House of Commons platform to launch expected fierce broadsides against Blair and other pro-Iraq War Laborites, most notably Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, Defense Secretary John Reid, and former Defense Secretary Geoff Hoon. The neocons also want to deal a blow to the anti-war Respect Party, which gave Labor a run for its money in a number of other hotly contested constituencies in Britain. Coleman, who also sits on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, used his Oil for Food charges against Galloway, former French Interior Minister Charles Pasqua, and an unnamed former French foreign minister to bolster the nomination of John Bolton as U.S. ambassador to the UN. The Bolton affair has revealed even more proof that a shadow intelligence network has operated within the U.S. government. Bolton had on his staff a "special adviser" named Matthew Freedman who pulled down a $110,000 per annum salary. Freedman is also a lobbyist who represents "private clients." He refused to tell the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who those clients were. However, it has been discovered that Freedman, a long time GOP operative like Bolton, is tied to the same oil industry network that once used Vice President Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as agents of influence. While working for the GOP-connected public relations firm of Black, Manafort, Stone & Kelly (BMS&K) and the PBN Company, Freedman counted Chevron, Bechtel, Shell, and the governments of Nigeria and Kazakhstan as clients. Freedman also represented Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos and Philippine President Salvador Laurel. According to The Washington Times, Laurel sought the assistance of the George H. W. Bush administration to oust President Corazon Aquino in a military coup. Other espionage charges have swirled around Bolton. The State Department's Bureau of Near East Affairs reported that Bolton met with Mossad officials in Israel without obtaining country clearance from the bureau. During a trip to the United States, former Mossad official Uzi Arad was questioned by FBI agents about his connections to Larry Franklin. FBI officials were also interested in an Israeli Embassy official named Naor Gilon, the chief of political affairs and widely believed a major Mossad asset at the Washington diplomatic post. The FBI possesses videotaped surveillance tape of Gilon having a luncheon meeting with two AIPAC officials and Franklin at a Washington hotel. Bolton is also under suspicion for his ties to Taiwan. Before joining the Bush administration, Bolton was on the payroll of the government of Taiwan, advocating UN membership for the breakaway island nation. Like Bolton's secret trips to Israel, Britain, and other nations, Donald Keyser, the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for East Asian and Pacific Affairs and a colleague of Bolton, made secret trips to Taiwan. He was arrested by the FBI in September 2004 after he was witnessed passing classified documents to Taiwanese agents in Washington. There is ample evidence of a major foreign intelligence penetration of the United States State and Defense Departments, as well as U.S. intelligence agencies, involving Franklin, AIPAC officials, Mossad agents, and leading individuals in the neoconservative network operating from inside the White House, the Pentagon, the State Department, the U.S. Congress, and think tanks such as the American Enterprise Institute, Washington Institute for Near East Policy, the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs, the Heritage Foundation, and the Hudson Institute. Bolton is a central figure in this cabal. The focus of the U.S. investigatory apparatus should not be on George Galloway and his newly-enfranchised East London supporters, but should be on the dark sinews that bind together anti-democratic intelligence functionaries in Washington, Jerusalem, and London. In addition, with his possible links to illegal espionage and influence peddling, in addition to other serious charges surrounding John Bolton, now is not the time for the U.S. Senate to be confirming a person who could be the most damaging U.S. government employee for national security since the Cold War days of John Walker, Ronald Pelton, and Jonathan Pollard.

He called on the United Nations to impose sanctions on Iran. "Iran poses an existential threat, and that's why I think that the entire world understands that it's impossible to give such an extremist regime the possibility of having a nuclear bomb that can essentially threaten the integrity of the world," Shalom said Friday in an interview with Israel Radio. The day before, Shalom warned that Tehran was close to knowing how to make nuclear weapons. Advertisement "Iran's announcement of their decision to renew uranium enrichment is, of course, a very dangerous announcement that must be viewed with appropriate concern," he told foreign diplomats at a reception at the President's Residence on Thursday. "Unfortunately, we see that indeed Iran will do everything to reach nuclear capability. The question is not whether Iran will have a nuclear bomb in 2009 or 2011. The question is when will they have sufficient knowledge [to build one], and we think that this possibility even exists, possibly, in another six to nine months." Shalom also called on the International Atomic Energy Association to use its JUNE 13 meeting to make a "clear and unequivocal decision" to bring the Iran issue before the United Nations Security Council, which he said "has the sole authority to impose sanctions on Iran." European states warn Iran not to resume nuclear work France, Britain and Germany have warned Iran they will break off talks and join Washington in seeking UN Security Council action if Tehran makes good on its threats to resume atomic work, European Union officials said on Thursday. The foreign ministers of the European Union's three biggest powers sent a strongly worded letter to Hassan Rohani, Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, warning that resuming potentially arms-related nuclear work "would bring the negotiating process to an end," an EU diplomat quoted the letter as saying. "The consequences could only be negative for Iran," it said. On Thursday night the head of Iran's nuclear agency said it may postpone resumption of uranium reprocessing after increasing European pressure not to end its suspension of a program that officials fear could result in a nuclear bomb. "No certain day is fixed for resumption of reprocessing. It is possible to postpone it some days," Gholamreza Aghazadeh, the head of Iran's Atomic Organization, told the Tehran state-run television in a live roundtable discussion. Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Moshe Ya'alon told Army Radio on Thursday that Israel knows how to protect itself against a potential Iranian threat. "Iran is the central proponent of terrorism and Islamic fanaticism and it has a non-conventional leadership that is liable to develop non-conventional weaponry," Ya'alon said. "Israel, therefore, needs to know how to defend itself against every threat and will always know how to do so." Earlier Thursday, Rohani, Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, said Tehran would resume some nuclear activities because it cannot continue nuclear negotiations with Europeans. "Continuation of negotiations in their present format is not possible for us," Rohani told state-run television, saying the talks were not balanced and were costly for Iran. "The basic point that the Islamic Republic of Iran will resume part of its nuclear activities in the near future is definite," Rohani had said. British Prime Minister Tony Blair spelled out the potential consequences, telling reporters: "We certainly will support referral to the United Nations Security Council if Iran breaches its obligations and undertakings." The United States believes Iran's nuclear energy program is a front to develop atomic weapons and has been pressing for Iran's case to be sent to the 15- member UN council for possible economic sanctions and other actions. The EU shares U.S. suspicions but has offered incentives to try to get Tehran to give up its atomic fuel program, which Iran insists is only for nuclear power plants, not for arms. French Foreign Minister Michel Barnier also urged Iran to maintain its voluntary freeze on enrichment-related activities. "We continue to hope that Iran will not go ahead with this move, for which it is aware of the consequences," Barnier told the French Senate upper house of parliament. The EU letter proposed "ministerial level talks" between the Iranians and Europeans within the next two weeks to break the impasse and avoid a crisis, EU diplomats said. http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/spages/575337.html | |  | | | ©2002-2009 WarWithoutEnd.co.uk |
