This one caught my eye, and apparently quite a few of yours as well, since many of you emailed it to me: Iran Accuses U.S. of Using Weather Weapons Now, for me, in the process of writing and researching a book titled Covert Wars and Breakaway Civilizations, this was intriguing, for weather warfare, and, for that matter, "geodetic" warfare (to coin an expression), i.e., modifying or exploiting geographic or deodetic feature of the Earth itself as weapons of war, is the utmost in "covert wars", for as my late colleage Jerry Smith put it in his book Weather Warfare, mother nature provides … [Read more...]
THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMM: IRANIANS AND IRISH ON THE TOWER OF BABEL MOMENT
A couple of weeks ago I commented about the emerging eclipse of the Tower of Babel moment, as fewer and fewer languages are coming to represent the lingua franca of ever larger portions of the world's population, with English leading the way. I had a number of interesting responses, including two interesting bits of information I thought I'd pass along, and comment upon. The first little tidbit is this, reported by Iranian Press TV: Age-old Babylonian inscription found Now, this gave me pause for a number of reasons, so bear with me here. The first reason was, at a time when the … [Read more...]
RUSSIA WARNS WEST, MASSES TROOPS IN GEORGIA
There an article in Business Insider that a friend of mine, Mr. P.T., brought to my attention, and this one is worth pondering from several angles: Russia Is Massing Troops On Iran's Northern Border And Waiting For A Western Attack Read more: http://articles.businessinsider.com/2012-04-09/news/31311454_1_russian-defense-ministry-military-action-dmitry-rogozin#ixzz1tHvANv00 This is interesting, as I said, from any number of perspectives, but let's consider the two main ones: Russia's internal politics, and external relations. From the standpoint of Russia's internal situation, clearly … [Read more...]
GENERAL DEMPSEY ON IRAN
As you know, I've been following the war of nerves and words between Washington, Tel Aviv, and Tehran over Iran's nuclear program. Well, I found this article assessing Iran's nuclear program, courtesy of Iranian media in fact, reporting something that did not make big news in the Amerikan media: US Gen. Dempsey: Iran rational actor, not after nukes Well, we've been treated to all sorts of allegations regarding the Iranian regime, from plots against the Saudi ambassador, to warnings of Zbgnw Brzznsk that Israel might want to think twice before acting against Iran unilaterally, to plots of … [Read more...]
ZBGNW BRZZNSK WARNS ISRAEL
You've probably noticed that I have no love lost for Zbgnw Brzzsk, you know, the former Carter Administration National Security Advisor who has precious few vowels in his otherwise un-pronouncable name. He's the guy that gave us such naked exercises in elitist onanism as Between Two Ages and The Grand Chessboard. Into this stage-dressing, we must enter the recent Israeli notification to the imperial U.S. of Amerika that it would not warn this nation of any unilateral action it undertook against Iran and its "terrifying" nuclear program. Well, much as the words gag in my throat and the … [Read more...]
IRAN, AND THORIUM
I am grateful to Mr. V.T. for bringing this important post of Gerald Celente to my attention, and it speaks volumes for itself, not only in terms of the prospects that he mentions, but also in terms of its political and geopolitical implications: How Iran Can Have Nuclear Power and the World Can Have Peace It is true that thorium is being pursued by China, Japan, Brazil and India as a reliable reactor fuel alternative to uranium. Celente's proposal is reasonable...and that's the problem, for by pointing out the thorium alternative, Celente is in fact pointing out the danger that everyone … [Read more...]

IRAN’S AYATOLLAHS JUST MORE WESTERN SOCK PUPPETS?
I have raised the possibility here on this site in some of my blogs, as well as in recent interviews on various talk shows, that the so-called Arab spring and the recent uprisings in the Muslim world are really being directed by western Corporate and banking elites intent on installing radical Islamicist regimes in the region. My "reasoning," if such speculation may be called that, is that by installing such regimes, the Muslim world will in fact be kept in a state of backwardness, forever playing scientific and technological catch-up with the West, and surviving on technology transfers from … [Read more...]
NOT SO MYSTERIOUS DEATHS OF IRANIAN SCIENTISTS
The recent assasination of a young Iranian scientist, allegedly involved in that nation's nuclear program, has been only the tip of a nasty iceberg. The Daily Telegraph in the UK - or as my friends and I from my Oxford days used to call it, The Daily Torygraph - has run an interesting article compiling list of names of dead or missing Iranian scientists since 2007: Iran nuclear scientist dead: mysterious recent deaths and disappearances According to the Telegraph article, a total of five Iranian scientists are dead as the result of deliberate murder. In a previous blog, I raised the … [Read more...]
THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO, “HMMM….”: INDIA AND THE DOLLAR
I've noted in recent blogs that there is a quiet move afoot away from the dollar as a reserve currency. Already China and Russia have concluded bilateral talks to avoid the dollar as a reserve currency and make their currencies directly convertible. Japan and China recently concluded a similar agreement. Now, India has joined the ranks of the burgeoning Asian economies to do so: India Joins Asian Dollar Exclusion Zone, Will Transact With Iran In Rupees [LunaticOutPost - Forum] India Joins Asian Dollar Exclusion Zone, Will Transact With Iran In Rupees The central importance here is the … [Read more...]
