There are no Iranian Nukes, And You Know It.
"Israel’s hawkish defense minister, Shaul Mofaz, while calling for diplomacy, warned last weekend his nation “would not tolerate” a nuclear-armed Iran. Israel’s Mossad has been claiming this March is the absolute deadline to stop Iran’s nuclear program. Israel’s many supporters in the U.S. Congress are loudly calling for war against Iran."

So, as I've said a few times, even before we were talking about nukes, we're ginning up support for an attack on Iran. I even predicted the month.

Psychic? Hardly.

Iran is in full compliance with the IAEA, and has given every indication that it is pursuing nuclear tech for peaceful purposes. The UN doesn't have a bad thing to say about their compliance, except that they've been reluctant to comply with the additional requirements (not part of any treaty or agreement) foisted on them by the Bush warmongers. Why the March deadline?

In March of 2006 Iran's oil bourse goes on line, denominating oil in "petroeuros" rather than "petrodollars". So? Any economist will tell you the change is symbolic only, right?

Well, not if you happen to be holding substantial cash reserves in US dollars (like Israel) or you happen to be the maker of US dollars. Not if you happen to be a debtor nation relying on the good will of other nations to sustain a massive deficit. Not if you happen to be the power that has dominated the production of oil and happen to be dependent on oil that is cheaper than the oil the euro-using countries rely on. A country like that (us) could find the fact that the second (or third) largest producer of oil in the world is switching from dollars to euros a dangerously threatening notion.

Which is why I said March of 2006 would be the deadline. Thanks, Mr. Mofaz, for the confirmation.

2. Yep. The 'nuke' they are talking about in the Oil Brouse going Euro

3. Beating Around the Bush By the Bourse good story here
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article11704.htm



01/29/06 "ICH" -- -- Only the uninformed believed Bush when he said it was WMD's that made him attack, invade, occupy and massacre Iraq. Most of us thought it was to steal Iraq's oil, but we were only partly right. What totally terrorized the tyrannical Texan tycoon was when Saddam played the oil bourse card in November, 2000. When Saddam started selling Iraqi oil in euro's, he jeopardized the U.S. dollar's hegemony as the world's supreme foreign exchange transaction currency. If this brilliant idea catches on, it will trigger the total collapse of the USA economy. The oil grab is a sideshow. The main feature is the oil bourse.

The Neocon global domination agenda is engendered by the denomination of global oil transactions in greenbacks. America prints out the bucks that are required for the purchase of oil, and the world has to produce stuff they can sell to get the bucks they need to buy oil. Printing Monopoly 'fiat' money only costs America the paper and green ink, so the USA dollar has been fattened on oil-enriched chicken feed since Tricky Dick delinked the buck from the bullion. The oil bourse scheme could so seriously setback US suzerainty that Saddam got stomped to smithereens. Krassimir Petrov, who teaches international finance in Bulgaria's American University, warns "should the Iranian Oil Bourse gain momentum, it will be eagerly embraced by major economic powers and will precipitate the demise of the dollar." Saddam was just the first wavelet in the coming tsunami. On March 20, 2006, Iran will start selling oil in euros.

Here's what the Bush cabal's Neocon Global Hegemony Manifesto, written in September 2000, has to say:

Iraq Iran had WMD's Weapons of Monetary Destruction

4. I disagree, because of the behavior of Pakistan's Dr. A.Q. Khan
in proliferation. There is a strong possibility that Iran, unlike Iraq, may have some things in their arsenal considered WMD, or be quite close to having them.

1. WMD is a big steaming pile.
Iran has never attacked anyone therefore we have no right to attack Iran. It's really that simple.

8. Maybe one day you'll see the matter correctly
and it will all come together for you. In the meantime, have another sip of kool-aid.

Probably more than any other country in the world.

nuclear weapons. That's the NSC of the United States of American. National Security Council - advises the President.

How did ten years turn into 10 weeks?

By the dis-reality experts. By the dis-reality creators. By the Queens and Jacks of Liars.
