China supports Seyyeds by buying oil

The Japanese decided to cut back buying oil, in accordance with UNSC resolution. But just read this:

"China bought around 10.9 million tonnes, or 440,000 barrels per day, of crude from Iran in the first half. The surprise increase was due to some spot purchases by state refiner Sinopec Corp, one state oil trader told Reuters, an unusual practice as nearly all crude exports from OPEC producers are on long-term contracts instead of spot sales. "Iran has some surplus barrels because some buyers are cutting back imports," said the trader. Japan, a key lifter of Iranian crude, has scaled back purchases due to shrinking domestic demand."

What becomes obvious, is that the press twists the truth. And of course the Chinese are going to be the sole purchaser of all exports, only because the US cannot do without the cheap labour to produce exports to US. In the meantime the secular people of Iran have to have coupons to buy Gasoline, whilst the Seyyeds buy centrifuges to make nukes. It's nuts.

Al Qaida in Iran

The three main Al Qaeda leaders in Iran include Mr. Adel; the organization's minister of propaganda, Suleiman Abu Ghaith, and the man who some analysts believe is the heir apparent to Mr. bin Laden — one of his sons, Saad bin Laden. The locations of the senior leaders include a military base near Tehran called Lavizan; a northern suburb of Tehran, Chalous; an important holy city, Mashod, and a border town near Afghanistan, Zabul, the draft intelligence estimate says.
