IAEA, International Community Complicit in Iran’s Nuke Strategy
Is that the best Iran’s so-called supreme leader can do? Blame his country’s problems on media reports. That same media has recently reported Iran has agreed to a new set of rules for cooperation with the IAEA. You can call the IAEA independent all you want to but it’s relationship and sanction by the United Nations is all too clear. The IAEA’s ‘atoms for peace’ slogan is more than any rational human being can bear. The history of the UN and the IAEA fit well into Iran’s plans to play games with the all too willing international community until Iran detonates their first nuke.
In May of this year not the ‘Western News Media’ but ‘Iran’s state media’ got all puffed up about Iran’s missile tests complete with cheering crowds of those characterized as supporters of Ahmadinejad.
During the same month Ahmadinejad held a news conference rejecting talks about Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
This of course is combined with the year’s Iranian politics which generated this headline, ‘Ahmadinejad Win Sparks Protests in Tehran‘ in which an address by Ahmadinejad made the following claim, ‘In an address, Mr. Ahmadinejad declared the vote a great victory and called it a “completely free election.”
Add his statements which blame the US and Israel for all the world’s problems, his call for the destruction of Israel and recently renewed claim the holocaust never happened and it becomes clear any ‘poisoning of Iran’ is self-induced contrary to the stated opinion of Khamenei. Most of what comes out of Iran, minus the loyal opposition to the current regime, demonstrates a rogue state’s intention to develop a nuclear arsenal and put the world at risk. All the delays are nothing more than a smoke screen to buy time to complete their sinister strategy.
Either way, the IAEA does not inspire confidence. You need a scorecard to keep up with all the reports on yes they do or no they don’t in terms of Iran’s status of joining the nuclear club. Argue the topic to your heart’s delight but one conclusion remains clear. The world does not need any more members to the nuke club. Pandora’s Box was opened long ago in the heat of a world war. There’s no putting the lid back on. Outside of ending the war with Japan in the last century none of the current known members of the nuke club have become reckless with the option. Who believes that restraint would be practices by any new members?
And no one has forgotten about North Korea or the Jihad crowd’s similar ambitions. World leaders are as impotent in this regard as with Iran.

Materialist Analysis of U.S. Attempt to Destabilize Iran
The purpose of the U.S. government’s focus on the clumsily rigged, fraudulent elections in Iran in June 2009 was: 1.) To falsely legitimize the U.S. presidential “elections” in comparison, which are rigged fundamentally but also rigged from every other conceivable angle in much more sophisticated ways (see Materialist Analysis of the Obama Regime Part I) and 2.) To discredit the Islamic Theocracy not only in Iran but also generally throughout Central Asia and other Moslem areas where Islamic Fundamentalists are trying to set up Islamic Theocracies, because they can’t be directly controlled by U.S. imperialism! In practice the United States strongly supports Islamic Fundamentalism which provides the pretext for the U.S. War on Terror, and installed the Islamic Theocracy in Iran after the 1979 overthrow of the Shah, in order to counterpose Islamic Fundamentalism to Marxism-Leninism and the national liberation movement in Iran, when it became apparent that the Peoples Fedayeen a Marxist group might take state power and then as a new Workers’ State side with the USSR. The U.S. especially did not want to lose the huge oil reserves of Iran! At that point the USSR was considered a far greater threat to world capitalism than Islamic Fundamentalism, which the capitalist dictatorship has always easily manipulated to its own advantage. (See below.) The U.S. supported the Green (colored) counter-revolution of Mir-Hossein Mousavi not because of any U.S. friendly policies of Mousavi (who targeted the U.S. when he was Prime Minister from 1981 to 1989, when he helped organize the 1983 truck bombings of the U.S. Embassy and Marine barracks in Lebanon, for example). The U.S. supports the Iranian “opposition” only because Mousavi is NOT Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and in order to try to undermine the Islamic Theocracy, introduce chaos and set the stage for later regime change. Mousavi’s nuclear energy policies do not differ substantially from those of Ahmadinejad so the planned bombing of Iran nuclear facilities by the U.S. Proxy, so-called “Israel” has not been called off. (See Materialist Analysis of the Mideast by this writer)
Obama has continued all of the Bush Wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and has continued the U.S./NATO military exercises right on the border of Georgia and the build-up of the Georgian military in preparation for further provocations and yet another possible invasion of South Ossetia/Russia. The Obama Regime has even directed its Georgian Proxy Saakashvilli to block and impound shipping to Abkhazia! (New York Times, September 10, 2009) Obama’s temporary abandoning of the so-called “missile shield” in Poland and the Czech Republic on September 17, 2009 was only done to lull the Russian Federation and to try to get them into missile reduction agreements where the U.S. retains the strategic advantage and does not for one second mean that
the U.S. has abandoned its relentless goal of trying to force Russia into a Second Russian Surrender to try to install a puppet government like in the former Warsaw Treaty countries and steal the huge natural resources of Russia which covers 11 times zones! (See below.) The U.S refusal to allow Russia into the World Trade Organization, Cold War restrictions on technology transfers and the NATO advance to the border of the Russian Federation demonstrates that this U.S. move is only a temporary tactic. In addition, Obama is using the Big Lie of a “nuclear armed Iran” to try to ram economic sanctions through the UN in order to try to destabilize Iran in the fruitless quest to insert a puppet government and/or to create a false pretext for bombing of Iran by U.S. Proxy, so-called “Israel.” The present U.S. propaganda campaign totally ignores the combined December 2007 U.S. National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) that Iran had ended its nuclear weapons program in 2003 and the fact that Iran has NOT enriched ANY of its uranium to bomb-grade level and the report that Iran had even ended its enrichment program ENTIRELY in May 2009! (Associated Press, August 25, 2009).
The Obama Regime Uses Iran’s Revelation as a Provocation
To try to Force Harsh Economic Sanctions to try to Destabilize
The Iran Government and to try to Create a False Pretext
For Bombing by U.S. Proxy-State, So-called “Israel!”
Note: On Monday, September 21, 2009 IRAN—NOT THE UNITED STATES—disclosed in a letter to Mohamed ElBaradei of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) the existence of a second nuclear enrichment plant 100 miles near Qom southwest of Tehran WHERE CONSTRUCTION WAS JUST BEING COMPLETED, a facility which the U.S. and the other nuclear powers were totally unaware of, despite their entirely false claims to the contrary that they supposedly knew of it all along. Iran’s revelation was to demonstrate at the auspicious moment of the September United Nations Meeting of the General Assembly that this second new but unopened plant nearing completion had produced no enriched uranium of any kind. (As mentioned IAEA inspections have already confirmed that no uranium had been enriched to bomb grade at the Natanz plant!) On Tuesday night Mohamed ElBaradei told the United States about the letter. (New York Times, September 26, 2009)
Although the U.S. found out about Iran’s Monday disclosure to the IAEA on Tuesday night Obama waited until the Thursday Pittsburgh G-20 Meeting where he made an off-topic speech accusing Iran of: “deception and cheating.” The 3 nuclear imperialist powers: the U.S., France and Britain immediately tried to use Iran’s disclosure against Iran with another Big Lie media blitz of threats and intimidation. In immediate response to the U.S.-led media blitz, Iran immediately agreed to open the plant to IAEA inspectors on Friday September 25th, but this was dishonestly omitted from the evening TV news and virtually all media reports in a Big Lie of Omission so that Obama could threaten: “Iran must open its new nuclear site to international inspection within weeks!” (New York Times, September 27, 2009) The Iran “nuclear threat” is another false Bush-type “Weapons of Mass Destruction” Big Lie pretext which will be used this time to try to wage economic war through sanctions to try to destabilize Iran or even to bomb Iran! Obama is NOT interested in “diplomacy” except as a cover for economic and military war, which is a driving force of the U.S. economy! The military-industrial complex controls a large section of the U.S. economy.
However the Russian Federation and China firmly oppose either harsh sanctions or bombing! On September 25th Russia announced President Medvedev’s correct response on RT Television: “Russia will do its utmost to help the IAEA to investigate on Iranian nuclear program while continuing to support Tehran’s efforts for peaceful nuclear energy.” And in fact, Iran’s agreement the following week in Geneva to ship approximately 75% of Iran’s declared stockpile of very lightly enriched uranium of 3.5% to 5% to Russia and France for further enrichment to 19.75% and fabrication into nuclear reactor fuel rods demonstrates good faith. (New York Times, October 2, 2009) Bomb grade enrichment may be as high as 93.5% and takes several stages of enrichment, which take a lot of time and can easily be monitored and requires the conversion from the fuel rods supplied by Russia, Russia would require and will certainly receive permission for further future monitoring of those fuel rods!
The previous widely acknowledged fabrication of “computer file evidence” by the U.S. is presently also being used in conjunction with release of a fraudulent “new IAEA report” and Iran’s recent disclosure, to try to mount a “full court press” and pressure the IAEA leadership just exactly like Bush unsuccessfully did to try to pressure Mohamed ElBaradei to support the “Weapons of Mass Destruction” Big Lie against Iraq! (New York Times, August 26, 2009) But Mohamed ElBaradei, who does not believe that the evidence cited in a new IAEA report falsely claiming Iran is hot at work developing a nuclear warhead, is retiring soon. The U.S. has now demonstrated that it has already infiltrated the IAEA and is in the process of taking it over completely!
Preposterous New IAEA “Report” Accusing Iran of
Developing an “Implosion Warhead” for Use on Shahab 3
Missiles Demonstrates that IAEA has been Infiltrated and
Taken Over by the United States “Intelligence Community”!
ElBaradei refused to go along with Bush’ WMD Big Lie and equivocated for only for a short time on this most recent Bush/Obama rubbish. But on September 1, 2009 ElBaradei did: “call the threat from Iran ‘hyped’ and said there was no evidence that the Islamic republic will soon have nuclear weapons.” (The Australian, September 2, 2009) This was after he had read the “new report”! By October 2nd the U.S. felt that no one would challenge their Big Lie of falsely taking credit for revealing the new Iran enrichment plant by falsely claiming: “…just a week ago ‘AFTER THE UNITED STATES REVEALED’ (!) the existence of the uranium enrichment site near Q(o)m and with its European allies, threatened Iran with tough new sanctions it refused to halt its uranium enrichment program, which they suspect is meant for creating atomic weapons.” (New York Times, October 2, 2009) Because there was not a single word of truth in that statement and Russia has agreed to take 75% of Iran’s LEU for further enrichment and fabrication into fuel rods, Obama was finally forced to acknowledge on October 4th that they saw “signs of progress” while the media and Congress continued to foam at the mouth calling for harsh unilateral economic sanctions based on a false “new IAEA report” claiming: “Iran has data to make nuclear bomb”! (New York Times, October 4, 2009) Parentheses and quotation marks added.
In addition, three facts prove that the U.S. had no idea whatsoever of the existence of this second nuclear plant and that the so-called “intelligence community,” which includes the media, is lying about everything: 1.) IF the U.S. HAD actually known about that 2nd plant at Qom why suddenly make such a big deal about it by declaring: “WE got the drop on (Iran) now! It’s time that Iran comes clean about its nuclear program,” 2.) The statements by numerous “pundits” such as Lou Dobbs that “the Russians UNDOUBTEDLY KNEW ABOUT THAT PLANT! Now will they stand in the way of stepped-up sanctions against Iran?’” With the direct implication that the U.S. was totally UNAWARE of its existence! 3.) Robert Gates’ refusal to provide the location of other nuclear plants in a September 26th CNN interview indicates that the U.S. also knew nothing of the Qom plant. Obviously, if the U.S. had such information they would already have used it before they did on Thursday September 24th! The reason Iran placed the new reactor site in a mountain was near a military base was obviously to protect the plant from by the U.S./“Israel,” which had previously bombed the French-built Ocirak reactor in Iraq in 1981 and also bombed a location in Syria in September 2007 alleging with no proof whatsoever that it was a nuclear bomb site! Iran’s testing of both short range and long-range Shahab-3 and the more sophisticated Sejil-2 missiles with a range of 800 to 1,250 miles on September 28, 2009, which can accurately strike Tel Aviv with a conventional warhead, was obviously carried out to warn the U.S. and its proxy “Israel” that it would face certain retaliation if it bombed Iran and it may hopefully deter imminent attack.
