No Gas

"Turkmenistan reduced its exports to Iran by half two days ago but since Sunday afternoon, the exports have completely ceased," said a spokesman for the National Iranian Gas Company, quoted by the state broadcaster.

Turkmenistan normally exports between 20 to 23 million cubic metres (706 to 812 million cubic feet) of gas daily to Iran, the spokesman said.

Total madness, that we have proven reserves second to Russia, and the only thing the Seyyeds are interested in, is siphoning the Oil income to make centrifuges.

And what are the Iranian people's reaction to all this? A lot. But is it being reported by anyone in the West? Does AFP go further than this? No. After all they don't want the French interests to be influenced in any way do they.

Gossip without water

The authorities insist the drive against water pipes is on grounds of health alone, but it comes amid one of the toughest moral crackdowns in years, which has seen thousands of women warned for attire or behaviour deemed un-Islamic.

The clampdown has also targeted trendy coffeeshops, book-cafes and Internet cafes, which are among the few places where young men and women can hang out together in the Islamic republic, which frowns upon the mixing of the sexes.

This just another excuse for the Seyyeds, to poke around Iranian culture, which alien to them. But more importantly this their pathetic attempt to stop the chattering crowds. They can't influence the spread of The Good Truth which stems from the Iranian Spirit. Their alien thoughts no longer attract Iranians' attention.

Iranian Business in Dubai

"There are 48 European banks based here that have started imposing restrictions on companies that do business with Iran, even though they know the merchants very well and have a history with them," says Hadi Motameni, president of the Iranian Business Council. "When businesses don't get loans from banks, they can't function."

It is about time that Iranians were a little more responsible about their dealings with the Seyyeds.

UN is with the Iranian Opposition

The UN General Assembly approved a Canadian draft resolution Tuesday expressing "deep concern" at alleged systematic human rights violations in Iran, including torture, flogging, amputations, stoning and public executions.

The 192-member world body adopted the resolution by a vote of 73-53 with 55 abstentions.

The resolution is not legally binding but carries moral weight and reflects the majority view of world opinion.

http://www.thecanadianpress.com/english/online/OnlineFullStory.aspx?filename=w121896A&newsitemid=19460015&languageid=1

Thank goodness most of the world is with the Iranian Opposition. But the Seyyeds think that they are over and above the UN don't they.

Include Iranians, but Seyyeds will exclude

It's now time to pursue an inclusive strategy that attempts to bring both the Arab center and Iranian periphery into a comprehensive peace arrangement and a framework for regional security.

http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1198517212331&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

What is utterly amazing is how no matter what strategy the Israelis, neocons, or whoever else has, they do not see the real problem. The real problem is that the Seyyeds, especially the likes of Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi and his echelon, will never be seen with the Israelis or American, agreeing about anything.

Now the Israelis and the US neocons know this. So all this rapproachment, is a precursor to the next and perhaps ultimate phase. They want to make sure that they cannot be critisized for not trying to be reasonable with the Seyyeds.

But we all know that they all could remove the Seyyeds in a week if they wanted to. So all this is political theatre. Why don't they recognise the true Iranians in opposition, and help the non violent regime change.

The reason is very clear. The last thing they want is for Iran to be run by an intelligence that would compete in all spheres of human activity. The brain and monetary drain must continue, and Iran must become a pariah state.

But the people of Iran are fighting this inhibition internally. Every Seyyed has been ear marked and is avoided. People will deal only with those who are not part of the ruling oligarchy. The change is already taking place and the so called coming Seyyed election will be totally ignored by all.

Unless of course the US President says something like the Iranians do not know how to vote, and gets everyone's back up. That would help the Seyyeds just like it did the last time. But the people of Iran will see through this.

Seyyeds buying friends with oil

Iran and Malaysia signed a $16 billion agreement to develop two Iranian gas fields, state-run television reported Wednesday, describing the deal as the largest energy contract in Iran.

http://www.iii.co.uk/news/?type=afxnews&articleid=6464495&action=article

And the US has threatened the Malaysians with withrawing the preferred trading status, and Malaysians didn't twitch. It is amazing how the Chinese and Malaysians have absolutely no regard for Human Rights. How can they be so materialistic?

Stop that Chinaman

“We were very concerned to see the announcement and we have followed up and communicated that concern to the Chinese government . . . at multiple levels,” said a senior US official, who added the US was still waiting for “further details” from China about the transaction.

http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/9b1abb3e-af22-11dc-880f-0000779fd2ac.html

That's right, the root of the problem are the Chinese. Force them to choose between trading with the US or the Seyyeds. But of course we all know, for China you must read US companies in China like Wal-Mart. They use prisoners, together will cheap oil from Iran, to export to the West. Do you buy "Made in China"? Think before you buy.

Perverse Double Negative

U.S. intelligence agencies are reporting that Iran is not currently building nukes. I am by no means advocating for war as a solution, nor do I intend for it to be an element of this question. But would these be the same "intelligence" agencies that reported that Iraq DID have weapons of mass destruction?

http://www.stevenspointjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071215/SPJ06/712150388/1713/SPJopinion

Truly we live in a perverse world. So the US agencies are betting, that once the next media campaign to the pre-emptive strikes gets going, they are off the hook. The world would rather not blame them for getting involved in politics. But that's the whole point. If the US "intelligence" agencies gave credit to Iranian patriots, that are not involved with the Seyyeds, then maybe we Iranians could change our country in our own sweet peaceful way. But they would rather try to get themselves in that llittle spot where the newspapers write about Iran. Not one word is written about how, a public dialogue on the ways and means of non violent resistance, in itself would show up the Seyyeds weaknesses, and show the strength of non violent general strike.

Re-write that speech ElBaradei

"They scattered the weaponization program to other locations and restarted in 2004," Mohammad Mohaddessin, the NCRI's foreign affairs chief, told the Journal.

"Their strategy was that if the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) found any one piece of this research program, it would be possible to justify it as civilian. But so long as it was all together, they wouldn't be able to."

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/933444.html

For the past many years it used to be the case, that every time the IAEA came around to give an "A OK" to the Seyyed stealth nuke program, someone - either a "defector" or the NCRI would release some new piece of information, and poor old Ayatollah ElBaradei would get pissed off that he had to rewrite his anti-US speech.

Why did Iran's Seyyeds pull out of Manama Dialogue?

THE credibility of a major security conference talking place in Bahrain has been thrown in doubt after Iranian officials pulled out at the last minute.

http://www.gulf-daily-news.com/Story.asp?Article=202283&Sn=BNEW&IssueID=30263

One of the more interesting twists to this whole nuclear saga with the Seyyeds is what The Economist stated in its last paragraph when it states:

But to keep the world on side, America may have to show new flexibility. For example, while tightening sanctions, it could offer to talk to Iran about all aspects of their troubled relations, even before work at Natanz stopped. Iran might refuse. But that would at least make it clear which side was the spoiler.

http://www.economist.com/opinion/displaystory.cfm?story_id=10251997

Now here is the first time, since the US decided to declare a slightly softer tone towards the Seyyeds, with the publication of the NIE report. AhMADinejad has welcomed the US's more positive outlook. So why don't the Seyyeds show up at the Manama Dialogue?

The reason I think is that they have no excuse to blame the US for anything now. The Seyyeds have had to rewrite the speech for Manama. All that anti-US stuff cannot work anymore.

Weaponization vs Enrichment

For that very reason, however, relieved doves who think the spectre of a nuclear Iran or of an American attack has now disappeared had better read the report again. Its final sentence says ("high confidence") that Iran has the scientific, technical and industrial capacity eventually to produce nuclear weapons if it chooses. As to what "eventually" means, the assessment has not changed: it was always late 2009 at the earliest but more probably the middle of the next decade.

http://www.economist.com/opinion/displaystory.cfm?story_id=10251997

We know that the so called "spies" of United States, had seen some notes of some whisperings from some Seyyed thugs. That led them to deduce that the weaponization program, which is not that hard, has been halted. The world press, of course, the ones inside United States to begin with, and then the ones outside United States, used this as ammunition to beat neocons like Dick Cheney. What a shame that none of these correspondents actually know much about the nuclear cycle. As you can see from the article above, the crucial part of the nuclear cycle is the enrichment process. That bit has not stopped, and those centrifuges in Natanz have cost Iran so much both financially and internationally. We have let the Seyyeds ruin our reputation as the Birth Land of Human Rights. The fact that the enriched Uranium has no use for any power station in Iran, means that the Seyyeds want to use it for their own global Armaggeddon in respect of their Mahdi. They will press the button. The MAD (Multually Assured Destruction) principle does not apply for the Seyyeds. They see themselves as over and above UN or any international body that exists, has existed, or will exist. So what is the solution? The solution is that the world press should spend more time praising the Iranian diaspora, that has managed to create a new understanding of Iran for the future. We have people of incredibly high intellectual calibre who are keeping the dignity and respect of Iranians. These professionals are the future of Iran. We all want peaceful regime change. The one power we do not have is a world press that understands and appreciates the simplest way to get rid of the Seyyeds without bloodshed. We need the world press to not ask about the nuclear programs, but to ask what the Seyyeds could do in light of a non violent general strike. Once the Seyyeds are faced with questions centred on General Strikes, then they will realise that their bandits, can do nothing against a population of 65 million, if it decided to shut down Iran for even a couple of days. Our problem is not the Seyyeds, but the world press's blackout on forces of peaceful regime change in Iran.

Diplomacy with false teeth

"We will now press for a further sanctions resolution,'' the British minister wrote in the opinion piece published today. ``We cannot be afraid of diplomacy with teeth. The alternatives are all worse.''

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601102&sid=aQKIB92PC240&refer=uk

What is the point of diplomacy with teeth that does not include oil trading? The Chinese have clearly stated, that they will not be party to any aggreement, that would stop the flow of oil. And then you have the UK being the centre of military precurement. Unlike the US, the UK is not forcing companies to choose between the Seyyeds and UK.

Putin is naive towards the Seyyeds

President Vladimir Putin has urged Iran to freeze its controversial uranium enrichment programme, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Wednesday, Interfax reported.

In a meeting Tuesday with Iranian nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili, Putin repeated his "call for freezing work on uranium enrichment," Interfax quoted Lavrov as saying.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20071205/wl_mideast_afp/irannuclearpoliticsrussiaenrich

How strange that the Russians are toeing the US line. After China stopping a lot of credit lines to the Seyyeds, everyone was thinking that the Russians were going stump the coalition. Obviously the world values its trade relations with the US more than the Seyyeds. The US has made it quite clear that it will not allow companies that trade with the Seyyeds to trade with the US as well.

China falls into line

Asadollah Asgaroladi, head of the Iran-China chamber of commerce, was quoted as saying that Chinese banks "did not open letters of credit for Iranian traders during the past week."

http://www.guardian.co.uk/feedarticle?id=7122871

When we look back in years to come, we will realise this to be a very important event.

It has been quite difficult to get the Chinese to fall in with the rest of the world.

Obviously Russia does not want Iran out of the NPT, because of all the investments it has made in Bushehr NPP. But there are quite a few people there, that are not too pleased with Lavrov.

Annapolis, policing and US policy

This shift comes after Iran's "anger" at Syria because it attended the Annapolis Conference, while leaders of Palestinian organizations in Damascus did not accept an official Iranian invitation to meet with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Tehran, to coincide with the Annapolis Conference, and announce a counter-declaration, with the attendance of 10 Palestinian organizations. According to what sources told al-Hayat's correspondent in Damascus, the positions by the Palestinian organizations, came despite "considerable pressure exerted on and temptations offered to the leaders of the organizations," before the Iranian Embassy in Damascus was informed of the invitees' desire to "postpone" the visit to another time.

http://english.daralhayat.com/opinion/OPED/12-2007/Article-20071201-9518769f-c0a8-10ed-00c1-a41e440fe9ff/story.html

It is good to see, that the Seyyed foreign policy, has well and truly failed. It is however so sad, to see so much of secular Iranians' oil income, to be have been illegally siphoned for Seyyeds' bribes to other people outside Iran, rather than for poor secular Iranians.

Saudi Arabia has realised, that it must snub the Seyyeds, no matter how many times AhMADinejad, goes begging to them. Even the Syrians, Hamas and Hezbollah, have turned down the recent anti-Annapolis conference. But as you can see, the Annapolis Conference, is leading to a situation that would help put Iran before Lebanon.

For so long "the Middle East", was what was going on in the Levant, as the Seyyeds were busy trying to change Iran. The Seyyeds have failed, and no Moslem is with them. And the Iranians' 7000 old culture has been resurrected, ironically without a Shahanshah. Good. But why? Because the Shahanshahs used the principles of Human Right as written in the Zend Avesta. The Shahanshahs of Iran were the first believers of Human Rights. And the Iranians, out of necessity have had to do the same. Slowly the moral vacuum is filling up. Iran is reinventing itself - en masse, without a 2500 year old celebration.

But what did the Iranian Opposition do, when the Annapolis Conference took place? There was no one from the new Iranians there, who could tell the world of the clear non violent regime change in mind, that we all want. And does the world really know about us? Fact is we have no money or organization. Is there a need for it? Maybe not. Is the Spirit of Iran finding its own quiet way into our hearts? Yah Ahura it is.

All Iranians, like all decent human beings want peaceful change. Consciously resisting to anything Seyyed, is definitely there. It was not so obvious in The White Revolution we had. Ironically it has become obvious in a Black Revolution. So the non violent opposition is intuitively in all Iranians. It is part of our ancient 7000 year culture. But we need the world to know it, so that it is referred to as the new Iranian model, in lieu of the Seyyed Empire.

Ask any Iranian do you want change, and they will say yes. But they want it peacefully. It is not a case of the end justfying the means. It does not mean, that because the end will be peace, then we should attain it by any means. That's the trap the Iraqi people fell into.

And many multinationals corporations, like Exxon did not suffer one bit from the demise of what happened in Iraq. In fact they loved the fact that, everything apart from the flow of oil, has been destroyed. And the US government benefited too. The brain and financial drain to US, has been immmense. Can you imagine the equivalent effect to Iran, if it gets bombed? Quo Bene, again? US.

This rush to America was going on in the 70's, and then in 80's, after Akh's Tsunami hit our shores. And all the Iranians who fled to the "land of opportunity", just forgot the past and got on with the present and future. They had to. Now that is what I call a coup for the US.

But Iran struggled on. The poor secular Iranian people that remained, somehow conscientiously built their country, but this time with a Seyyed in the way. But they managed to get around the Seyyeds. They do not want politics, or religion. They love Iran. They see the immense opportunities there, and much to the surprise of the US, they have done very well. Hmm ... What can the Americans conjure up this time?

The world powers, that do not want secular Iran to be "the Japan of West Asia", have allowed the violent forces to be heard more, than the non violent forces of change in and out of Iran, with the nuclear fiasco stories, which help peak oil advocates. But ask any Iranian in Iran, and they will tell you that the Seyyeds' Chimp is powerless. The world press does not really like to report this, even though we have Iranian journalists now working for all the major newswires. That's criminal.

The last thing the media want, is for Iran to be able to manage change peacefully, with its own 7000 year old Free Will, as embodied in the oldest philosophical work known as Zend Avesta. That would be too boring, and would not sell at the newstands. War stories sell news, and effect commodity prices, and that's the bottom line.
