“This is an Iranian terror campaign that is spreading throughout the world! Israel will react powerfully against Iranian terror!”-Binyamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel
18 July 2012, Bulgarian bus explosion update: At least seven Israelis killed, 25 wounded. One bus exploded, two other buses on fire, Bulgarian fire fighters still working to put out fires!
18 July 2012, a group of U.S. Marines (Some reports say sailors. Some reports say soldiers, but USN & USMC personnel are not referred to as ‘soldiers’) on shore leave in Turkey were attacked.
A group claiming to be the Turkish Youth Association (TGB) attacked U.S. forces in the port city of Antalya. TGB members verbally insulted the Marines and tried to put bags on their heads GITMO/Abu Ghraib style. Turkish police broke up the assaults and detained seven people.
People of Turkey are protesting the presence of the USS Abraham Lincoln. The aircraft carrier left the Persian Gulf on 16 July, the same day the Pentagon announced sending yet another aircraft carrier to the volatile region.
“…we are not in the habit of repeating a warning and we warn only once.”-Ataollah Salehi, Major General Iranian Army, 03 January 2012
There will soon be four U.S. aircraft carrier groups in the Persian Gulf. The USS Enterprise, the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and the USS Abraham Lincoln will soon be joined by the USS John C Stennis.
The announcement was made on 16 July 2012, by the U.S. Department of Defense. The Pentagon also said the deployment of the USS Stennis, in August, will be four months ahead of schedule, and it will be for longer than originally planned.
The United States has also increased the number of other combat ships in the area. But here’s the thing, back in January 2012, Iranian officials singled out the USS Stennis, threatening military action against that specific aircraft carrier if it ever returned to the Persian Gulf.
Back in April 2012, USN Commander Amy Derrick-Frost, of the 5th Fleet, said it was unusual to have two U.S. aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf at the same time, now there’s going to be four!
Is the U.S. move a deliberate provocation in order to start a full blown World War 3?
“The vast majority of the Iranian transactions, ranging from 75-90% over the years, were sent through HBUS [HSBC’s U.S. operation] and other U.S. dollar accounts without disclosing any connection to Iran.”-Department of Homeland Security report to U.S. Senate
17 July 2012, testimony in front of a U.S. Senate panel, by Homeland Security officials, revealed that HBUS (the U.S. division of United Kingdom’s HSBC) “concealed Iranian transactions” between 2001 and 2007 (gee that’s during the Bush Jr administration!).
$19.4 billion USD are involved in the “u-turn” transactions (a type of money laundering by Too Big to Fail banks): “From at least 2001 to 2007, two HSBC affiliates, HSBC Europe (HBEU) and later HSBC Middle East (HBME), repeatedly conducted U-turn transactions involving Iran through HBUS, many of which were not disclosed to the bank, even though they knew HBUS required full transparency to process U-turns.”-report to U.S. Senate
U.S. Senator, Carl Levin, said “HSBC’s chief compliance officer and other senior executive in London knew what was going on, but allowed the deceptive conduct to continue.”
Levin also pointed out that the U.S. Department of the Treasury, under George W. Bush, did nothing to stop HSBC.
This is the latest accusation against HSBC. The Too Big to Fail bank has also been accused of helping Mexican drug lords and Saudi Arabian terrorists, among other crimes. Read about it in the 335 page report at www.hsgac.senate.gov/reports
“The problem of the Iranian LCs [Letters of Credit] created by the U.S. and western states’ sanctions against the banking system (of Iran) can be solved by using the banks operating in the Russian regions.”-Alexander Vitalivic, Russian Head of the Iran-Russia Regional Cooperation Workgroup
17 July 2012, Russian officials announced, at the Iran-Russia Regional Cooperation Workgroup meeting, that Russia is willing and able to help Iran avoid any bad economic effects from U.S. and European Union sanctions!
“The presence of small and medium size banks and financial institutions of the (Russian) regions (on the scene of transactions with Iran) will be useful for motivating an increase in exchanges and preventing decrease in exports.”-Alexander Vitalivic
Also, Russian Head of Iran-Russia Joint Trade Council, Yuri Papoyev, announced that Central Bank of Russia (CBR) is ready to make due payments to Iranian parties: “After meetings with the Russian Central Bank officials, they agreed to make due payments and open LCs [Letters of Credit] for Iran in the least time possible.”
U.S. and United Arab Emirates (UAE) officials confirm that a U.S. Navy ship shot at an Indian fishing ship off the coast of UAE.
The U.S. 5th Fleet says personnel of the USNS Rappahannock fired a .50 caliber (12.7 mm) machine gun at a small boat. They claim the fishing boat was warned to stay away. One man on the fishing boat was killed, three men wounded.
15 July 2012, the Arab Peninsula principalities, known as United Arab Emirates (UAE), announced the operation of a pipeline avoiding the Strait of Hormuz (which could be shut down).
The 400 kilometer (248.5 mile) long Abu Dhabi Crude Oil pipeline connects the Habshan oil fields on the Persian Gulf side of the Strait of Hormuz, with the port city of Fujairah, which is on the Indian Ocean side of the Strait.
The pipeline can flow up to 1.8 million barrels of oil daily, about 70% of UAE’s production.
Japanese officials are happy, because the UAE is Japan’s second biggest source of petroleum. Saudi Arabia is number one, Iran number three.
“This trend marks the beginning of the end for the Al Saud regime and the establishment of a popular rule in Saudi Arabia!”-Mohammad Bayatian, Iranian Industries and Mines Committee
14 July 2012, the steadily growing revolutionary movement in the U.S. puppet state Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has escalated to organized attacks on government forces and prison wars.
Saudi Arabia’s state-run news agency reported that a police station was attacked with firebombs and machine guns. One attacker reported killed, four cops wounded.
Also on Saturday, the al-Hayer political prison erupted into all out war between pro-monarchists (those whom the U.S. & U.K. support), and pro-democracy (supported by Iran) inmates. At least two people reported killed.
There have been massive protests for at least a week now. It started when a Shia cleric was attacked, wounded and arrested by Saudi cops. Since then Saudi cops have killed many protestors, including an 18 year old on 14 July 2012.
The Saudi regime is also detaining anyone suspected of being politically opposed to the British Empire established Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. On 15 July 2012, at least ten women were arrested on the grounds they were connected to politicians opposed to the Al Saud regime.
Since February 2011, protesters have held numerous demonstrations in the eastern provinces. The eastern provinces border the Persian Gulf, and are where all the oil is shipped out on tanker ships.
Also, the eastern provinces of Saudi Arabia are where the overwhelming majority of Shia Muslim Arabs live. Saudi Arabia is ruled by royalists who are Salafi/Wahhabi Muslims, the same Islamic group that Osama bin Laden was part of, the same Islamic group that most of the members of the U.S. named al Qaeda belong to, the same Islamic group that most of the 9/11 attackers belonged to.
The Chock Full o’Crap western media continues to say Saudi royalist leaders are Sunni, bull crap! The Saudi’s are behind attacks on Sunni (as well as Shia) Iraqis! Other Arab Peninsula country leaders (who’re Salafi/Wahhabi) are behind attacks against Libya, Egypt and Syria!
The First Saudi State was established in 1744, and was partly motivated by Wahhabi Islam’s call to get all westerners out of the Middle East. That order still stands today, so it is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that is the enemy of the West, not Iran, not Afghanistan, not Iraq, not Libya and not Syria!
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia became a protectorate of the British Empire in 1915 (Treaty of Darin), and was consolidated under the rule of Ibn Saud in 1932.
So why does the United Kingdom and United States support Kingdom of Saudi Arabia if it is anti-west? It’s all about the oil money! Western leaders don’t give a crap about what really matters to their own people, it’s all about the money!
Saudi leaders support the West only because that’s the biggest market for their oil. It’s all about the money!
So Western leaders, and Saudi leaders, give only lip service to their ideals; democracy in the West & Wahhabism in the Arabian Peninsula. Western leaders will gladly send those fool enough to think they’re fighting to protect their freedom to kill innocent people in other countries, and/or, those murderous enough to desire to kill “brown skins” & “towel/rag heads” ’cause them kind’o people ain’t christians. And the Saudi leaders gladly turn a blind eye to their own people who actively seek to kill western infidels.
Wake up people! It ain’t the Iraqis, it ain’t the Afghans, it ain’t the Libyans, it ain’t the Syrians and it ain’t the Iranians that are the enemies of the West! It’s our very own Western leaders in bed with an Arab kingdom that’s been biding its time, waiting to complete the Wahhabi order to cleanse the Middle East of western infidels and establish their own version of Dar al-Islam!!!
In 1973 U.S. President Richard Nixon (a Republican Christian) made a deal with Saudi Arabia: They could have more say in the price of oil if buyers were forced to use the U.S. dollar (now you know why we’re in the pockets of the Saudis).
This is where the term petrodollars comes from. The deal involves the New York Mercantile Exchange (aka NYMEX, aka Commodities Exchange. Now controlled by CME Group), and London’s International Petroleum Exchange, or IPE.
Now you know why the British Empire, the mortal enemy of the U.S., and Saudi Arabia, a declared enemy of the West by Wahhabi clerics, are tied to the United States. All these leaders, they don’t care about you!!!
“Iran is one of the major importers of Korean products. And in the eventuality that the policy of sanctioning Iranian oil is implemented, then that nation will suffer.”-Rostam Qasemi, Iranian Oil Minister
On 02 July 2012, I posted how Korea South (a U.S. ally/puppet) was getting around oil sanctions against Iran, by using Iranian tanker ships.
On 03 July 2012, Iranian media revealed the reason Korea South went against its master’s (United States) wishes: Iran has more purchasing power than the United States!
On 26 June 2012, Korea South announced they would stop oil shipments from Iran. Iranian diplomats quickly threatened the embargo of all products made in Korea South. Officials in the southern half of Korea did the math and decided it was not economically sound to go along with the puppet master’s (U.S.) oil embargo against Iran.
Just how much does Korea South rely on Iran for trade?
In 2007 Korea South signed a trade agreement with Iran. According to the Korea International Trade Association, exports to Iran have increased 32%, while imports of Iranian goods increased 63.7% (the way the data was presented wasn’t clear, the percentages could be 32% for imports and 63.7% for exports)!
“Korea’s shipments to Iran amounted to $6 billion [USD] last year.”-Korea Times
The Korean Times reported that the threat by Iran, to embargo all southern Korean products, would slam 2,900 companies!
There are at least two petroleum companies from southern Korea working in Iran, and they have backing from U.S. investors! In fact U.S. companies are involved with at least $1.4 billion USD worth of North American investments into Iran!
Here’s the bottom line; Iran is a big spender, and they pay in cash or trade! The United States is broke, and they pay with credit, or steal it from you with bogus War on Terror tactics. Who’s gonna get the World’s business in the long run?
On 25 June 2012, Iranian banks began selling bonds on behalf of the Pars Oil and Gas Company. The plan is to raise $3 billion USD to use for development of the massive South Pars natural gas field.
So far $5 million USD in tax free bonds have been sold.
The people who buy the bonds can remain anonymous, and can transfer them to a third party. Any profits on the bonds are calculated on a daily bases, and paid out every three months.
If full o’crap western news media reports are true, about Iranian petroleum products being backlogged because of the sanctions, they why is Iran pushing so hard to expand their petroleum industry?
