Act of War wrote in #3This is yet another act or war against Iran. No doubt the US/UK/Israel and their Arab stooges are involved. Why doesn't the UN speak up against such actions????//// The UN, led by Kofi Annan-stood by silently while the US launched an illegal, immoral and unethical secret attack on Iraq. They were able to use their big lies to pursuade the American people, that Saddam (who we allowed to buy nerve gas components) and a former ally- had dangerous WsMD that threatened the US. They were able to plant the lie that somehow that Saddam was involved or behind 9/11. The UN, the IMF, World Bank, etc. were built since the end of WWII to establish control over a shattered world. To insure that the 'reserve currency' of the empire would guarantee economic control over everyone. While Khaddafi, Assad killed numerous civilians to put down armed revolts-some suspected of being special operations commandos, from assorted Western militaries (like Raymond Davis in Pakistan)-the sum total of documented dead were less than 20,000 combined. Meanwhile the US murdered over 2 million Vietnamese and 1 million Iraqi civilians in their unprevoked wars. The war on terror has led to the foreign policy that encompasses kidnapping Muslim 'suspects' and secretly detaining them in torture centers around the world. Obama seems to have dispensed with interrogation-prefer ring 'extrajudicial executions'. Where was the UN? Taking their Amrican bribes, like most of the corrupt politicians of the world. Pray with us brothers that Dec.21, 2012 will finally bring the long suffering world, at long last 'justice'.

Seriousl y just for a tiny moment let's imagine that Anonymous were US sponsored........  they have once again created an enemy against who they are begining another war. This is a war against the planet.  I do not want this to be true. The Anonymous project was planned years ago.  I was told about it now some 10 years ago when some people wanted to recruit me.  The trick is, create an enemy that is yours, then both can fight everything and blame them for being supportif to your ennemie.  ps.: I was working in Pr.ct.r and G.mble, and was informed about all their evil cause they thaught I would join them.  I choose the right pad, even it broke my marriage/financial/s ocial life.  Today living with debts and overcome my diseases due to bad food, I feel like a winner!!!!!  Greetings to V.nc... L..ai... , the guy who told me all and is misleaded by evil!

Its already started. 911ers vs the 99ers ! Lieberman & Co are trying very hard to get the WTC7 demolition video off the web first, any fool can see who the real devils are, its certainly not the Iranians - but Judge Hellersteinski wants the dumb goyim to think otherwise.

Only a moron would spew that US/Israel wasn't directly involved in this latest act of war on Iran's infra-structure.

Of course the Zionist bootlickers wouldn't mention the virus the evil Zionists created just like Stuxnet and Stuxnet 2 is undoubtedly going to end up infecting multiple nations business's also.

Thousan ds of business's in India, USA and abroad had the same routinely used and very popular German Corporation Siemens electronic control modules which Stuxnet targeted so they quickly became infected provided their IT staff was stupid enough to use the default passwords on those modules. So while the evil Zionists were high-fiveing one another over Stuxnet 1 and Stuxnet 2, world business's not including those in Iran had to pony out thousands if not multi-millions total in cleaning that virus/trojan off their systems.

Wher e was the global condemnation, and global class action lawsuit against the evil Zionist led Apartheid Israeli officials and NSA involved with the creation and use of the Stuxnet virus/trojan.

Same Zionist bootlicking silence over the warcrime committed by the same evil Zionists bombing the civilian nuclear reactors in Iraq and then in Syria killing multiple civilians and not being dragged into a war crimes trial for that overt act of terrorism.

Th is US/Israeli attack on Iran's Oil infra-structure is just another overt act of war in a long string of terrorist attacks, assassinations and bombings against the Iranian people. This coming after the CIA trained and mentored the Shah's Savak to torture the hell out of the Iranian protesters against the outright theft of Iranian Oil by US/UK Oil Corporations in the 1970's.

I mean like really!!!! If you don't want to be hacked don't place your systems on the web, place them on a stand alone system were it will take a man with a CD to infect it with any virus. The Russians will do everything with the help of the China to keep Iran up as all the Western sanctions are working, next you'll see hospitals and all infrastructure coming down.
It's strange that if Iran happened to do the same to Russia that would mean an attack.

Press TV are reporting The Iranian Oil Ministry spokesman has said a cyber attack targeting the country’s petroleum ministry and the National Iranian Oil Company has failed to affect any key data.The cyber attack has not damaged the main data of the Oil Ministry and the National Iranian Oil Company since public servers are separate from the main ones, and they even have different  wirings and do not connect to the Internet,”  According to the official, only public data has been damaged in the attack that was in the form of a virus malware that burned down motherboards and cleaned data. So think about it people? If America can damage a computer with virus malware that burns down mother boards, then I firmly believe the FBI statement about millions of computers will have a virus that will shut it down in July, is pre-meditated, illegal and damn right bang out of order. Everything that happens in the world is pre planned for the Zionist to obtain power at the expense of the world. This corruption should be eradicated and stopped with immediate effect. I just hope Iran kicks the Backside of the agressor and puts them firmly in their place.

The misinformation campaign begins! First the speculation that Israel/United States will prelude a Military Attck by 'Shock & Awe' Cyber Attacks, but I strongly suspect they're just hiring busted ex-Anon 'Hacktivists' to pull a script kiddie DDOS on the Iranians 'Junk'.

End all wars! If war breaks out over Iran it will erupt into more than a regional war!
"On both sides the soldiers came out of their trenches onto the shattered landscape. The dead bore witness as their living brethren walked among them in a daze. Here and there men falls to their knees among the slain and weep. Some for the lost, others for living, some simply breaking. For what was the point of this slaughter? We are less now, and the silent truth is laid broken and shattered for all to see: That all wars are civil wars, for all men are brothers".
