Chinese Hostages

China calls for restarting Iran nuclear talks

The Iranian nation, not the Islamic cult with guns, has been held hostage by China's business practices.

Obama has been black mailed in not taking tough actions on companies that deal with the Islamic regime and US that are based in China.

China is provider of labour and buys US bonds. So the US is in collusion with the Chinese. The left wing in US does not look at the peace dividend if there were military cut backs if there was a non violent regime in Iran.

For our part I say, find another enemy and leave Iran to develop peacefully. Let us have regime change by recognising the true Iranians who put Iran first. Iranians that love Iranian culture that is the oldest in the world and is part of the human heritage.

Iran's Seyyeds buying gold perhaps?

Bloomberg.com Commodities: Gold Gains on Mounting Iranian Tensions, Equity Market Slump :
"Crude-oil futures rose after Iran, the second-largest petroleum producer in the Middle East, tested more missiles in the Persian Gulf."
But what this report does not refer to, is that we had so much money being returned to Iran from EU after the closure of banks.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Payback time

Personal stories are common of how the financial sanctions are affecting those mostly well-off people who have foreign bank accounts or earn income from abroad.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071128/wl_nm/iran_sanctions_people_dc

Sanctions is probably the most widely debated topic around. But it is quite clear that two sets of people will get hit by it. The first are the Seyyeds themselves, and the second group are the wealthy secular Iranians, who have managed to survive with the Seyyeds. The rest are the silent majority poor down-trodden Iranians, who won't feel the difference. The Seyyeds and their wealthy crowd have been feeding off them for ages, and it is payback time. Anyone who did not want to deal with the Seyyeds, or did not have connections in the appropriate places struggled. Their stories are too horrific to mention, and it is all based on the fact that they had different political and religious views to the Seyyeds. But if you were poor and passed all the relgious hurdles then yes you could get into the Seyyed merchant class. But if your Spririt had given you Iranian ideas, then you really struggled to implement them in Iran. And of course if you had global ideas, you had to get out, and let the folks in US to benefit from it, as Iran was not the "land of opportunity". So the US has benefited quite a lot from this. Do you think the US wants all the Iranian brains and money to go back to Iran? No. So they love the Seyyeds. They can get rid of the Seyyeds in no time if they wanted to. But Iranians like Parisa who write about Iran should talk more about the how the power of General Strike can bring the Seyyeds down.

Why did the Chinese walk out and help Iran's Seyyeds?

A meeting of Western powers scheduled for next week to discuss tougher sanctions on Iran has been cancelled because China has pulled out, European diplomatic sources said on Friday.
European diplomats say Iran sanctions meeting cancelled | Markets | Reuters

What did I say?  It is the Chinese behind all this mess.  And it is not really the Chinese Generals in China, but the US multinational Generals eg: GE, GM, etc and of course Wal-Mart.

We have in China, the modern equivalent of slave trade.  Strong accusations?  Yup.  Follow this line of thought.  The US and EU companies, such as Wal-Mart, and many others, are making stuff in China.  And they are doing it with prisoners.  Almost every week, 100,000 people get arrested in the whole of China, and become slave labour in the specially selected "industrial" zones.

But to me, what is most important, is the energy supply.  Where does that come from?  Iran.  But the world press does not report it.  If anything, they will blame the Chinese human rights record.  And they, that is the US press, does a fine job of not disclosing the slave trade that Wal-Mart gets up to with the cheap land and energy.

So the last thing these "US Generals in China" can do, is to let Iranians become free, and part of the civilized world.  No, Iran has to remain a pariah state, and just give oil to US slave drivers in China.  If any civilized Iranian was in charge, no oil would go to them, especially with the view that they burn it badly and pollute the Earth aswell.

So the US will apply selective unilateral sanctions on some companies.  Will it include HSBC, or Standard Chartered Bank?  No way.  Will it include all those proxy companies working for the Seyyeds and the US?  No way.  They will just make a  token jesture.

The only answer to all this, is when the Iranian population decide, that enough is enough, and they decide to threaten the Seyyeds with General Strikes.

Russia and China fall in line, just before the "flexibility" comment

Russia and China did not comment, and the agreement seemed at odds with weeks of public opposition, primarily by the Kremlin, to new sanctions against Iran.
Russia and China fall in line on Iran | Jerusalem Post

Why have the Russians and Chinese suddenly complied?  Or is it, that in two weeks time, Ayatollah ElBaradei will say that there has been some "flexibility", as was just expressed in the Chinese press below:

Wen said peaceful negotiation would be the best way to resolve the nuclear issue and he hoped that Iran could further demonstrate its flexibility, according to a press release from the Chinese Foreign Ministry.

China urges Iran to cooperate with IAEA


And then the Seyyeds would just carry on as normal.

Finally the French turn against the Seyyeds in Iran

"We are considering additional measures, in the framework of a new Security Council resolution, against members and backers of the Iranian regime refusing to comply with demands of the international community," Hugues Moret, a French Foreign Ministry spokesman, said in an online briefing Friday.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070817/...a/iran_nuclear

That's where the change in government in France shows the difference. Chirac was never so blunt.

Allez La France!

Canadians and Chinese ignore sanctions and help Seyyeds

Chery Auto is to invest $370 million for their new plant in Babol, Iran. China's largest automaker Chery, is teaming up with Khodro, Iran's biggest automaker, as well as Solitac, a Canadian investment firm.

So here we go again, more business with the Seyyeds.

Well done The Germans

Deutsche Bank AG has informed US under secretary of the treasury Stuart Levey that it will no longer do business with the Iranian government, Spiegel magazine reported without saying where it obtained the information.

Divest Terror Initiative - Starving Iran's Seyyeds

I really cannot believe this. Some people are seriously waking up to what I have been crying out about for such a long time.

Read this:

But there is a way to strike hard at Iran and encourage a change in regime or at least in policies: We can stop investing in companies that invest in Iran. Frank Gaffney, a former Reagan Pentagon official, and his group disinvestterror.org list 485 companies that do business in Iran.

Why do US companies trade with Seyyeds in Iran?

It is about time the US Treasury showed, which companies in the US at least, that do trade with the Seyyeds in Iran.

Most of the companies listed on the site are foreign, although the list includes some US firms including Baker Hughes, Marathon Oil and Mastercard which have disclosed ties to Sudan, according to the links on the SEC's website.

The SEC said the appearance of a company on the list, however, does not mean "that the company directly or indirectly supports terrorism or is otherwise engaged in any improper activity."

The new link on the SEC's website comes after US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson last week urged US allies to help cut off Iran's banks from the global financial system, accusing the Iranian Revolutionary Guard of funding and training Middle East militant groups.

US snookered by China on Iran

You would think that the US could just hint at the US companies in China to protest at the Chinese government for their dealings with the Seyyeds.

The United States is also stepping up international efforts to isolate Iran over its defiant nuclear program but it is quietly concerned over China's potential oil and gas dealings with the Islamic republic, experts say.

Beijing has signed a 100-billion-dollar agreement to import 10 million tonnes of Iranian natural gas over the coming decades. In return, Chinese companies will become key stakeholders in Iran's oil fields.


But no, the Chinese have got the US by the balls, and there is nothing the US can do. Too much is made in China. The world needs to diversify away from China, that has an awful Human Rights record, and turns a blind eye to horrible regimes like the Seyyeds in Iran.

Sanctions, what sanctions?

With all the time it takes to agree to sanctions, the even longer time to apply sanctions, and the various exemptions, you wonder why the UNSC bothered at all.

Thank you Florida, Iranians will remember you

How many Iranians do you think know that US pension funds invest in Iran? Everybody in Iran thinks that the US does no business with Iran, let alone pension funds.

I have always told the Americans that the easiest way to stop the Seyyeds from ruling Iran, is to stop any company or individual, who does business with the Seyyeds, to do business with US. And moreover it is a lot easier to impose.

So it is good to see that after one generation of misery in Iran, Florida at least is clamping down, as the first state. Of course it will be impossible to stop the main culprits like China and India.

Incentives apply to human beings not Islamist Fascists in Iran

It is quite remarkable to see a Nobel Prize winner, ElBaradei, apply secular logic to Islamist Fascists in Iran. He states:

"The same applies to the situation in Iran," he said. "You can use sanctions but sanctions alone as we know by experience will not resolve issues. You need to use incentives and disincentives."

The folks who live in Qom and face Mecca, pay no attention to anyone else. As such, the people of Iran are solely responsible for their disposal; in a clean peaceful non violent manner; leaving no excuse for retaliation against future generations of Iranians. Once a higher global body, such as the UN, officially recognises the struggle of the secular Iranians, against Islamist angry attitude to the world, then the IAEA will realise not to take the Islamist Fascists in Iran seriously.

It would be nice of course if Mr ElBaradei did this attitude now, but he has a bone of contention with the all nuclear powers; and wants to use the Islamists in Iran's nuclear ambitions, as a threatening tool against the old nuclear powers. But why should the people of Iran suffer, and become guinea pigs for a much larger world problem. Mr ElBaradei must realise, that to give so much respect to Islamist Fascists in Iran, makes them feel as if they have legitimate rule in Iran.

Mr ElBaradei, the people of Iran will take note of your appeasement attitude towards the Islamist Fascists, as and when the Islamist Fascists of Iran, and brought against the a new Iranian court, just like Saddam Hossein is being tried in Iraq today by his own people. The people of Iran are the sons of Zoroaster and Cyrus the Great. We are the founders of Human Rights, and know very well how aggression cannot be overcome with more aggression.

Mr ElBaradei, you have been given the authority to judge the Islamist Fascists in Iran, and you attract a lot of attention and revel in it. You enjoy dragging the issue as long as you can, because when diplomacy ends war begins. But you are not helping the Iranian people, by discussing these issue solely with the Islamist Fascists in Iran. There are plenty of Iranians, both in Iran and outside Iran, who are better qualified to discuss, and represent the feeling of Iranian people all over the world.

We Iranians in opposition are more capable, and more intelligent than the Islamist Fascists in Iran. We therefore ask you in the name of Peace, not to deal with the Islamist Fascists seriously. When you speak to the Islamist Fascists in Iran, tell them that you know that the people of Iran, do not want Iran to be put in harms way. Cite example of other countries that threatened world peace and how world wars began.

You are an important person, and must represent the secular views of all Human Beings, especially those that live in Iran. Please do the right thing, and speak to the Islamist Fascists in Iran, as if you were a secular peace loving Iranian, and did not want the oil money to be used to make dangerous weapons of mass destruction.

One Islamist versus another in Iran

Nearly everyday one hears one character say one thing, and the next day, the die-hard bigoted Ahmadinejad, say something else. Here is a clear example:

Teheran considers a proposal to enrich uranium for Iranian use on Russian soil ‘attractive,’ Iranian Ambassador to Russia Gholamreza Ansari said Wednesday, the news agency Interfax reported.

The guys in the Foreign Ministry were swiftly changed when Ahmadinejad took over. This fella be might up for the chop soon. I bet anyone, that we will soon get an announcement from Ahmadinejad, that they will not agree to any enrichment outside Iran, and moreover, they will want to proliferate it.

If you had kept your big mouth shut

One really does feel very sorry for this idiot pretending to run Iran. At first one thought, "well he has a PHD", maybe, just maybe he has more sense than the old folk in Qom. After all one cannot blame the old folk saying their old songs over and over again. For years the world just put up with it. But last year everyone thought, "hey this kid, seems to have a lot of energy, has a modern education, maybe, just maybe, he is going to bring a breath of fresh air. But this is what we hear:

"It is most embarrassing that the U.N Security Council, which should be the defender of nations' security and rights, threatens countries pursuing nuclear fuel under the law to provide fuel for peaceful purposes," Ahmadinejad said.

And that just about sums it up for me. He refuses to accept the world order. Why? Because he has his own utopia that he thinks is over and above UN. The Russians have tried and tried to educate him, but as I said earlier, they are using him for getting into WTO. So this new kid on the block is crying out loud like a cry baby. That has moved Iran closer and closer into a pariah state, which does not help him at all. He is cornered and all he can do is moan and groan and shout out loud, whilst we all laugh at him.

The main reason why Russia pretends to support the Islamist Fascists in Iran

For so long the world press, has been suckered into believing that Russia and China have a "moral" obligation to be anti-US, and by deduction pro Islamist Fascist in Iran.

Some analysts have said that a deal on the WTO could persuade Moscow to soften its opposition to punishing Iran for refusing to halt sensitive uranium enrichment.

Of course this is not the case. Once the Western countries, formally approve their membership, then the Islamist Fascists are on their own, and irrelevant.
