According to Shirin Shafaie, writing for CASMII Media Watch On Forbes dot com, rrteoper Claudia Rosett wrote that she and President Abdullah Gul of Turkey sipped tea and had a disturbing talk that it resided next to one of the world's roughest neighbors, Iran.For his part, President Gul published a press release stating: Following today's reports by some press organizations that Mr President gave an interview to the Forbes Magazine, the announcement below was deemed necessary: Neither today nor in the past has Mr President ever given any interview to the Forbes Magazine. We respectfully inform the public.' Moral of the story: don't believe everything you read in the MSM, on line, in blogs, anywhere. Check the sources, cross-check information, evaluate the prior acts and credibility of parties presenting the information.Rosett is presently Journalist-in-Reside nce for Foundation for Defense of Democracies, the current project of ideologues formerly associated with neoconservative think tanks and publications, such as Michael Ledeen, Marc Gerecht, James Woolsey ,,, the usual suspects.

American dominance of oil extraction and distribution is the ONLY GOAL of any of this. Add into the mix the European business interests (BP, TOTAL etc) then you have a highly militarised, corporate entity with allied European energy behemoths stamping on any fledgling oil- producing country. All conducted under the NATO banner, now the global energy security police, whose remit is to secure oil production for western nations and squeeze out China, India and any of the other next superpowers to be (if China isn't already considered so).   It sickens me it really does. I despise this totalitarian corporate landscape and it worries me that the average american sees nothing of this thanks to their ridiculous 'media'. Terrible, absoloutely terrible.   T he west is bankrupt- in the next ten years the american economy will collapse and take everybody else with it. Cheers tax- dodging money- collecting rich people and your helpful corporate business practices!   It's the same as comunism, exactly the same.

Yea, very possible. The Elite International Bankers more than likely are targeting the European and North American economies via oil. Any lengthy oil shortage will likely affect  employment and create fuel and food shortages. Yea, U.S. history shows that it wasn't long after WWI ended when the then U.S. Congress passed a resolution stating that WWI was started by International Bankers. Perhaps, that was the last real American Congress that we here in the U.S.A had. I recently heard that the U.S Department of Homeland Security also has suggested that the U.S. should send troops into Nigeria to go after another so called terrorist organization. Obviously, since the War on Terror began and with the current passage of the NDAA in the U.S., it's now a world population under siege irregardless of Nationality, Religion, Race, Creed or Color.

As far as I'm aware there is no evidence of a nuclear arms programme and Iran has offered to restart talks. 
Ther efore if I was Iran I would cut the oil to Europe today and sell elsewhere and I'm speaking as a European. The ordinary Iranian people are being hurt by the sanctions so I think they should spread the economic pain, might make the politicians think twice. 

"Life for young Americans is not good," Most middle-aged Americans can tell you, comparing the current state of the US to that of their own youth. We could do most things we wanted [pre-Bush-Obama policies]. We could travel abroad without fears of of being identified as Americans, pursue meaningful relationships without inter-gender barriers, live our lives in the reminants of the Cold War democracy hypocrisy, which at least had a flavor of democracy. It's definitely different now. Just ask any older American to reflect on life before and after the New Order, and you will have an earfull about the downhill NO that is spreading throughout the world. Thanks to the mighty US$ which has been printed so many times to finance subversive measures and still is honoured by the unsuspecting consumers as a mighty $.  There were, at least, six kinds of Americans during the nineties. Those who supported the Democrats and Republicans with whatever distinctions that still existed between the two, those who had jobs, those who were rich enough to move their businesses to China, those who spoke up without fearing arbitrary arrests, and those who put up with the shortcomings of the day and have now become the 99% v. 1%. 

The US has almost become Brittain lite and follows in almost a typical European pattern.

"Life for young Iranians is not good," one middle-aged man told me, comparing the current state of the country to that of his own youth. "They have missed out on so much.""We could do anything we wanted [pre-revolution]," said another."We could travel, drink, have girlfriends, live our lives. It's different now."I asked one older gent to reflect on life before and after the revolution, and he spoke of a role he sees for people like him in the Islamic Republic."There were four kinds of people during the revolution," he told me. "Those who supported the Islamic Republic, those who were rich enough to get away, those who opposed and mostly ended up dead or in jail, and those - like me - who maybe did not fully support it but decided to do their best to help their country. Today I try my best to help the kids."

Of course the US is targeting the EU.
They've worked against the EU since its inception.
The EU threatens the US - the EU has more people, better living standards, more democracy, less racism, a better economy and offers a larger and more vibrant market.
If the EU leaders aren't aware of this then they're even more useless and stupid than we previously thought (bearing in mind that we're talking about leaders who are still trying to use 2008's solution to the debt crisis even though it became apparent in 2008 that this sort of rescue wasn't addressing the underlying issues and was therefore little more than throwing money down the toilet..

Darkness It's usually how I like my men.   LightnessKitte ns make me happy. 

This preoccupation with Iran's nuclear ambitions is another "false-flag" operation being shoved down the global communities throats, complete with very narrow talking points and no supportive evidence that Iran poses a threat to the global community nor its immediate neighbors. These unilateral sanctions by the western regimes that over-ride the UN and UNSC, is similar to the illegal invasion of Iraq and the destruction of that country under a pre-planned mass-murder to bring Iraqi oil and gas out of the nationalization mechanism using the "threat" metrix is indigenious to US foreign-policy to cover its failures to live and play by the rules, because of its own military and nuclear arnsenals. This is the true face of thuggary, terrorism and economic suppression as I have ever seen. The pattern is becoming so, normal that its shocking to first enconter, then the facts clears, that someone's holding a gun in your face telling you that you, your wealth, family and fellow citizens are now, property of the US-NATO inc. Attempting to keep those it wishes to invade for there resources disarmed, threatened and on the defense will eventually make the case that an invasion would bring better prosperity to the targetted country and allow the global community to protect the countries resources better than it once was under our sanctions. I mean this product should be marketed, packaged and made available to every wannabe dictator, gang leader and up and coming thug. Iran should tell the US-NATO-UK to bring it and turn the entire Gulf into a flaming oil can in the process of going down in flames; taking as many westerners as humanly possible down with them. They should set the highest example as possilbe that meddling in another countries affairs will be a deeply painful and costly run with no garantees of success but a absolutely certain outcome of mass death and casualty.

If impossible to prove it is not --- Then could be it is David762
“First provide incontrovertible evidence beyond any possible doubt that an invisible flying all-powerful all-knowing supreme being exists.” But Dave, if you have not the physical intelligence to prove that a spiritual “supreme being” does not exist somewhere in space, then with only such a physical brain how could you possibly know the reality of it?

go on doing what the nazi american terrorist org tells u to do your cutting your own throught your prices for everything will go up  anytime they say anything about oil prices rise  when are you sheeple going to wake up and smell your self in the fire

US's decision's to deploy missile defense system in Eastern Europe is another trick to tear apart the warming-up of EU-Russia relationship.

:-)

Iran has basically been put into a very difficult position -- how does one neighbor prove beyond any doubt to another (global) neighbor that one's Intent is pure, compared to a restrained possible Capability? -------- Especially when that second neighbor itself has neither "pure intentions" nor "restrained capability", but instead driven by the irrational paranoia and geopolitical ambition of an allied 3rd country? -------- Before one neighbor attacks another neighbor over contrived issues and conflicts, I would like to see an equally difficult "positive proof" be made:  First provide incontrovertible evidence beyond any possible doubt that "an invisible flying all-powerful all-knowing supreme being" exists.  Otherwise, let's stick to provable evidence vetted by a unanimous UN Security Council operating under international Rule of Law.

1 Billion --- Against 6 billion DARKNESS
zoom
Security Council authority will be taking the final blow...
From that point on NATO will officially be the only authority in the world...
US/NATO military presence in the region is outstanding...
Russia and China will be humiliated as they are too weak to make a stand...
US/NATO superiority reached its peak...
US will have its way and the Russia will take another blow... LIGHT
Comes now zoom with a doomsday conspiracy that is really doomed. For the only reason Empire USA has gotten away with all its plunder by brutal imperialism, this is because it had the moral support of most of the 7 billion people on mother earth. But now with its drone collateral genocide and extreme brutality going strong in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine, if the world has to choose between Russia-China or USA, who has the least nukes will surely have the global community cheering them on.
