Shahnameh vs Avesta

“Every nation has a book that represents the personality of that nation. For example: the British people have the works of Shakespeare, the Greeks have the Iliad and the Odyssey, the Italians have The Divine Comedy by Dante, and we have the Shahnameh,” he told the Mehr News Agency on Saturday.

Some scholar really.  How dare he not mention the Zend-Avesta.  After all, Shahnameh is a poor reprint of Khodayeh-Namak, which itself relates to Zend-Avesta.

From Nuclear bluff to Regime change to Peak Oil

At a time when majority of states have understood the present realities and have the intention of publicly acknowledging the realities, certain groups of states raise hue and cry to seek concessions from the Iranian nation, added the president.

President: Everyone will be aware of closure of Tehran's N-case soon - Irna

Seyyeds' Poodle could actually do well, if he played the nuclear bluff game.  But being a devout fanatic and true to his dogma , he will not budge.  He will press the button, once the Mahdi button is made.

As far as secular Iranians are concerned, he is a "has been", and well past the "sell by date".

So the only thing this poodle, and all the other trolls can do, is to hope for the US President, and those in the future, to make a big thing about the nuclear story.  But world media has figured that out, and knows that everybody yawns at it all.

That means that the world oil media industry, that wants peak oil, needs to talk more about the blocking of Straits of Hormuz, bombing of Arab refineries etc etc.  Same old boring stuff eh.  That's why I believe that the only way, is for major changes in Iran, that would then move prices really higher for the peak oil advocates.  And that will be done.  That way everyone that matters will benefit.  As a hint, think what the effects would be, if the Chinese could economically get their own oil by themselves from the very deep wells in South China Sea?  That would change their relationship with the Seyyeds.  This is dreamland territory.

Seyyeds and US block aid to secular Iranians

So far, $5.4 million in payments has been suspended for four projects, the officials said, and they do not expect the suspensions to be permanent.

The Columbus Dispatch : World Bank forced to halt some aid to Iran

But the article fails to mention the fact that the Seyyeds do not deal in US dollars anymore.  The Seyyeds love the fact that the secular Iranians do not get money.  This all helps them.  They have access to all the Euros they need.  The people of Iran can no longer deal in the most common currency.  Most of the wealthiest Iranians have US dollars in California and they would be the source of all the trouble against the Seyyeds, as and when.  Connecting the dots means that the US and Seyyeds are on the same side, against the secular true Iranians.  So this means that the funds to true secular Iranians needs to go via HSBC or Standard Chartered Bank or some other bank in Indonesia or Malaysia or parts of EU, that are not trading in US dollars and are trading in tranches less than $ US 20 million.  Hopefully no IRGC thug is involved, and the funds can reach the proper Iranians.  Ya Ahuramazda!

Seyyed terms uranium enrichment abroad "unacceptable"

'Any proposal to pursue the enrichment process outside Iran is meaningless and if such proposals were aimed at stopping enrichment on Iranian soil, then they would be totally unacceptable,' deputy chief nuclear negotiator Javad Vaeidi was quoted by Fars news agency as saying.Vaeidi was referring to an interview by Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal with the Middle East Economic Digest (MEED) in which he said that the Persian Gulf states would be ready to form a consortium for providing enriched uranium to Iran and hence avoiding escalation of the international crisis over Iran's nuclear programme.

Fact is that the Seyyeds want to escalate the situation.  That is their Holy manadate for the return of their Mahdi.  I mean, can you imagine Mahdi turning up and asking, "Why have you got that Saudi stuff here?"

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.

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.

US hits at Beijing over Iran stance

“We are disappointed by the lack of co-operation by China on a third Security Council resolution,” said Nicholas Burns, US under-secretary of state, representing Washington at the meeting. “We don’t think that China is moving with us.”

And folks with that statement, the real culprit in this whole saga, is cornered.  If China washes its hand from the Seyyeds, then the Seyyeds are well and truly on their way out.  Somehow the Chinese need to be pursuaded.

Saudis enriching Seyyeds

Saudi Arabia today revealed details of an ambitious offer to Tehran, aimed at defusing the growing crisis over Iran's controversial nuclear program, reported the Times of London.

It seems that, like others before, the Saudis are trying to avert public criticism, by pretending to help Seyyeds. Now don't forget, that he is offering it to the same insane people, who wanted to make a joint Islamic force for the area. So this is what the visit to London was about. So much fot the Brits.

Lavrov's Black Mail

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is to go to Iran on Tuesday for a previously unannounced visit.

Mr Lavrov is due to hold talks with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at 1930 local time (1600 GMT).

No country has so much power over the Seyyeds, so much so that, at a drop of a hat the Russians, can pop over for a chat. And what has Mr Lavrov done for "World Peace"? Absolutely nothing. Actually he has done a lot. He has used the Seyyeds, to negotiate some great concessions from the West. He did the same from the Europeans when he switched the gas off. And that leads me to the opposition forces of Iran. Thirty years ago Shahanshah Aryamehr talked about the mighty pipeline to Europe, just in case of the Soviets threat did show its ugly head.

West Asia vs East Asia

Many Arabs argue that the Iranians actually want America to attack. Politically, that would help the hard-liners rally support. And militarily, it would lure the United States onto a battlefield where its immense firepower wouldn't do much good.

David Ignatius - Walking Into Iran's Trap - washingtonpost.com

Actually the argument is that, the US would like to get stuck in another protracted war, so that West Asia is totally destroyed.  It knows, like Vietnam and Cambodia, the out flow of cheap good labour, which it needs.  It will still carry getting the oil, just like it still does in Iraq.  The US oil companies and their Seyyed poodles, have no love for Iran or true Iranians.  The last thing they want is, for Iranians to have multinational oil companies, and multinational corporations, like those in East Asia.  The Chinese or the East Asians do not want that competition.  That is why China supports the Seyyeds.  Iranians and other Caspian people are young and extremely intelligent, with a culture that predates all of Asia.  We ruled Asia for centuries, and the last thing the rest of Asia, and their US backers want, is another Persian Empire, with it own splendour of multinational corporations, becoming The Bridge of Turquoise between Europe and Africa and the East, again.
