Oliver Stone, and son, to make movie in Iran, despite pissing them off with his version of Alexander the Great

On September 26 Oliver Stone will join his son Sean, in Iran. They are trying to get permission to shoot a movie there.

Stone’s last documentary was about anti-U.S. Latin American leaders: “South of the Border”.

Stone’s last big budget movie was “Alexander: Fortune Favors the Bold”, and yes like most people who saw it, Iranians did not like it.

Alexander the Great is not a hero to the Iranians, especially since he massacred most of the Zoroastrian priests, and destroyed their temples. Iran banned the movie from being shown in theaters.  Oliver Stone’s version is based on an outdated 1970’s history book.

In 2009, Stone tried to do a documentary on Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but claims scheduling conflicts ended that project.  No word on what kind of movie he wants to make now.

World War 3: Dick Cheney says Israel will attack Iran, Democrats support violation of civil rights

September 12, in an interview with Newsmax, former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney said: “…Iran represents an existential threat, and [the Israelis] will do whatever they have to do to guarantee their survival and their security.”

Cheney also said that Congressional Democrats supported continuing the civil rights violating homeland security policies: “They said absolutely, yes. They were unanimous. Nancy Pelosi was there, Jay Rockefeller was there.”

World War 3: Jordanians demand Israeli embassy be closed down

“The government should take a fast step in removing the Israeli embassy from Amman in light of continued Zionist violations against the sovereignty and interests of Jordan.”-Islamic Action Front (IAF)

Jordanians praised the protests by the Egyptians against the Israeli embassy in  Cairo.

Many Arabs, and Muslims, compare the storming of the Israeli embassy in Egypt with the takeover of the U.S. embassy in Tehran following Iran’s Islamic Revolution of 1979.

World War 3: Iran captures Al Qaeda members trying to lauch attack inside Iran, links to the United States, Obama lies

“These individuals intended to move large caches of arms, ammunition and explosives into the country.”-Hossein Chenarian, Police Chief Kerman Province, Iran

In the past two weeks, local Iranian police captured five al Qaeda members sneaking into southeastern Iran. This is a regular occurrence, and many of the al Qaeda members captured in Iran have stated that they’re getting help from the United States.

The latest capture included documents that revealed al Qaeda’s plans to sabotage Iranian industries.

The Obama administration has accused Iran of helping al Qaeda, which is ludicrous for several reasons, the number one reason is that al Qaeda is constantly trying to launch attacks against Iran!  The second reason is that al Qaeda declared war on Shia Muslims (along with other liberal Muslims like Sufis). Iran is majority Shia Muslim, while al Qaeda is Wahhabi Muslim.

Al Qaeda also hates Iraqis, Lebanese, Syrians, Libyans, any place where the majority of Muslims are not Wahhabi.  Also notice that those countries are countries that the U.S. has invaded, attacked or is sanctioning.  The biggest Wahhabi country is Saudi Arabia, one of the big allies of the United States.  More proof of the U.S./al Qaeda connection?

World War 3: Kurdish rebels in Iran admit they are being armed by the United States

In an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation’s Iranian channel, BBC Persian, Abdul Rahman Haji Ahmadi admitted they are conducting military action against Iran with the help of the United States.

Abdul Rahman Haji Ahmadi is the boss of the Party for a Free Life in Kurdistan (PJAK) terrorist group.

He said the PJAK had built tunnels into Iran from Iraq.  They also received new weapons and equipment, including 120mm mortars, from the U.S. consulate in the northern Iraqi city of Arbil.

Currently Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) is in battle with the PJAK.  This follows attempts by Iraq’s Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) to mediate between the Iranian Kurdish rebels (PJAK) and Iranian government.  The mediation failed after PJAK forces killed two Kurds: “But the PJAK terrorist group paid no heed to the KRG’s appeals and mediation (and) martyred two local Kurdish forces… and this proved to the KRG that the terrorists had ignored its requests.”-Hamid Ahmadi, IRGC Colonel

Iran moving nuclear equipment underground, says Israel will attack

The new facilities that are being opened were built years ago, and the reason was because the U.S. and its ally Israel were constantly making threats against Iran, against international law, that they will bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities.”-Seyed Marandi, Tehran University

Iran has begun moving centrifuges and uranium enrichment equipment to underground bunkers.  They have already told the International Atomic Agency about the move.

Iranian officials say the move is to try and protect scientists.  Already several Iranian nuclear scientists have been assassinated.  Iran suspects Israel or the Untied States of the assassinations.

BBC finally admits to helping the United States overthrow democratically elected Iranian Prime Minister, BBC doing the same thing in the U.S.?

In 1951 Iranians elected a Prime Minister for the first time.  It meant the downfall of the British backed Pahlavi regime.  But not for long.

The U.S. CIA has admitted many years ago, that it was ordered by President Eisenhower to overthrow the democratically elected Mohammad Mosaddegh.

Now the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) has admitted they helped the CIA.

The British were upset about their Anglo-Iranian oil company (now called British Petroleum, aka BP) losing control of Iran’s oil fields.  They convinced Eisenhower that the democratically elected Mosaddegh was a proxy of the Soviet Union.  So begins the long history of the British government using the United States as a puppet to enact regime changes all over the world (most recently Afghanistan, Iraq, and ongoing efforts in Libya).

How did the CIA do it?  The way they did it is now a classic text book example in University political science classes.  They started small by finding corrupt news media sources within Iran.  They paid them to write false news stories about the democratically elected government.  The BBC now admits to taking a part in this role.

After getting enough media sources printing false stories, they then bribe corrupt individuals, and even unemployed people, to run a round claiming abuse at the hands of the government.  This escalates to riots.  In 1953 so many people in Iran were believing the false stories, and there were enough unemployed and disenfranchised Iranian people that there was a full blown coup.  The Pahlavi regime was returned to power.

If you look at some of the “revolutions” in North Africa and the Middle East right now, they smack of classic CIA/British regime change tactics.

One of the reasons these regime change tactics work is that some of the false news reports actually contain examples of true abuses.  However, the false media stories exaggerate the true abuses, to make it look like the government is out to get everybody.  If this tactic lasts long enough, and the number of riots, with the expected police crack downs, increases it will create a downward spiral in social politics within the affected country.

The BBC admitted to the Iranian people that they helped overthrow their democratically elected government, back in 1953, though a documentary which recently aired on the BBC Persian TV channel.

It was the 1953 U.S./U.K. backed coup that led to the 1979 Iranian Revolution against the U.S. and U.K.

People of the United States don’t think it can’t happen here.  You lovers of PBS should be aware that BBC now owns PBS.  Why do you think there are so many British TV programs now playing on a supposedly U.S. TV channel?  It’s not because the executives of PBS are Anglophiles.  Oh, and don’t forget Rupurt Murdoch’s take over of many so called independent U.S. news corporations.  Murdoch became a U.S. citizen solely so he could legally begin taking over U.S. media.  Murdoch is member of the British Empire (aka Commonwealth).
