AIPAC sabotaging deal with Iran “ The pro-Israel Republican members of Congress are seeking to start war with Iran and toughen a bill allowing Congress to review a final nuclear agreement with Tehran over its nuclear energy program, a political and military analyst in New York says. 'There’s a group of rump Republicans who are very pro-Israel…who basically want a war with Iran, they think it’s easy,' Michael Burns told Press TV on Monday.” “ The American Israel Public Affairs Committee has been quietly pressing Republicans to oppose a number of pro-Israel amendments that lawmakers have tried to add to the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act, according to a report by Bloomberg Review. AIPAC supports the original version of the bill as language inserted at the last minute, as part of a concession to Obama, would make implementation of a deal possible even if Congress votes against it.” “ Right-wing elements in the Republican Party along with Israel an...

Μια εύστοχη ανάλυση του συστημικού μηχανισμού που επιχειρεί να αποδομήσει και να εξουδετερώσει το ηθικό πλεονέκτημα του κυβερνητικού συνασπισμού και κυρίως του ΣΥΡΙΖΑ του Χριστόφορου Βερναρδάκη Η Κυβέρνηση –και και ειδικότερα ο ΣΥΡΙΖΑ– βρίσκονται μπροστά σε ένα πολύ συστηματικό και συγκροτημένο σχέδιο επικονωνιακής, και επομένως πολιτικής, υπονόμευσης. Το σχέδιο αυτό θα ενταθεί το επόμενο διάστημα και επομένως απαιτείται αντίστοιχα συστηματική απάντηση. Το επικοινωνιακό επιτελείο των κομμάτων της διαπλοκής (ΝΔ, ΠΑΣΟΚ, ΠΟΤΑΜΙ) γνωρίζει ότι ο ΣΥΡΙΖΑ διατηρεί αναλλοίωτο το ηθικό του πλεονέκτημα έναντι του παλιού συστήματος εξουσίας. Αυτό προκύπτει από τις ειδικές ποιοτικές έρευνες που διενεργούν τον τελευταίο μήνα διάφορα πολιτικά και οικονομικά κέντρα. Εχουν πλήρη επίγνωση επομένως ότι κάθε προσπάθεια αντιπολιτευτικής φθοράς θα πέφτει στο κενό, αν δεν πληγεί ο ΣΥΡΙΖΑ ακριβώς στο σημείο αυτό. Υπενθυμίζω ότι ένα βασικό στοιχείο του κομματικού και πολιτικού αν...

“ 'We have received reports that the US planes visit the ISIL(-controlled) airports,' Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Hassan Firouzabadi told reporters on the sidelines of military parades held in Tehran on Saturday morning to mark the Army Day. 'The US shouldn't supply weapons and money to ISIL and then apologizes and says that it has done a mistake. The Americans say that they want to confront the ISIL (but) we haven’t seen any practical measure but reconnaissance and surveillance operations,' he added.” “ In relevant remarks on Tuesday, Supreme Leader's top adviser for international affairs Ali Akbar Velayati underlined that extremist groups, including the ISIL, were born and nurtured by the US. [...] He said the interesting point was that the members of the ISIL terrorist group showed no enmity towards the Zionist regime. Also in March, Chairman of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commissio...

“ Σε μια καταγγελία που προκάλεσε έντονο διπλωματικό ενδιαφέρον και αντιδράσεις, προέβη ο αρχηγός του Γενικού Επιτελείου των Ενόπλων Δυνάμεων του Ιράν Χασάν Φιρουζαμπάντι: Αεροσκάφη του αμερικανικού στρατού προσγειώνονται τακτικά στα αεροδρόμια τα οποία βρίσκονται υπό τον έλεγχο του ισλαμικού κράτους!” “ Όπως αναφέρει παράλληλα το πρακτορείο Fars, 'έχουμε συλλέξει πληροφορίες που κάνουν λόγο για στρατιωτικά αεροσκάφη που προσγειώνονται στα αεροδρόμια υπό τον έλεγχο των τρομοκρατικών ισλαμικών κρατών και απογειώνεται από αυτά. Τα αεροσκάφη αυτά παραδίδουν στο ισλαμικό κράτος όπλα, χρήματα και τρόφιμα'.” “ Από την πλευρά του ο αρχηγός του ιρανικού στρατού επισημαίνει ότι 'Οι Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες θα πρέπει να σταματήσουν να διοχετεύουν στο ισλαμικό κράτος όπλα, τρόφιμα και χρήματα και να ζητήσουν συγγνώμη για το λάθος που έκαναν. Οι Αμερικανοί πρέπει να μας διαβεβαιώσουν ότι είναι εναντίον του ισλαμικού κράτους και να προχωρήσουμε'.” “ Ο Φιρ...

“ A new video has emerged of a mysterious half-completed prison complex in the town of Zhdanovka in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic in Ukraine's Donetsk region. Built on a grant from the European Union's ENPI program, construction halted when the Ukraine's civil war began and DPR militias took control of the area. Local residents believe that the facility was built to house dissidents in case of internal conflict, although documents suggest that the construction was part of a 2011, 30 million euro ($42 million in 2011) project for housing asylum seekers deported from EU countries.” “ The system allows European Union countries to reject asylum seekers by sending them to Ukraine, where the legal qualifications for asylum are much stricter and refugees are granted a food allowance of less than $2 per month, according to a February article in Spiegel. In 2012, refugees from Somalia went on a hunger strike in protest of the meager food allo...

Double damage: Environmental and geopolitical implications from melting ice “ As members from Arctic countries meet for talks in Canada, there are growing concerns that the global push for fossil fuels could turn the Arctic into the next 'resource battleground' as governments try and cash in on any potential energy deposits in the region.” “ As global resources become increasingly scarce, there is a growing thought that countries with land claims and access to the Arctic will further increase exploration in the hope of finding new, untapped resources. As a result, many of the countries have experienced an increase in espionage activities in their Arctic regions.” “ So far, the threat of conflict over the Arctic has been fairly limited, with most accessible resources falling within undisputed national boundaries. However, security analysts suggest the risk of conflict lies further ahead, because as more ice melts in the Arctic, it may uncover signi...

Propaganda as usual “ US ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt has claimed that Russia’s military is continuing to expand its presence in eastern Ukraine. As for proof, Pyatt posted a two-year-old picture of an air defense system from an air show near Moscow.” “ Twitter users lashed out at Pyatt’s post – which he wrote in Ukrainian – implying that the diplomat deliberately used a fake image. This is not the first time Pyatt was caught posting seemingly deceptive images on his Twitter account. Last September, he was showing off the ongoing US-Kiev military exercises in Ukraine. The pictures he provided turned out to be outdated.” “ In a more recent incident, Pyatt posted on Twitter what he said were satellite photos proving there are Russian artillery systems stationed near the town of Lomuvatka, Ukraine, about 20 kilometers northeast of Debaltsevo.” http://rt.com/news/252545-ukraine-fake-russian-missiles-pyatt/

globinfo freexchange Apart from the statements war between the Greek government and Greece's lenders, it seems that the "emperor" Draghi is sending his "paper" on time, at least until now, to prevent bank-runs. It is certain that the eurocrats already examined various scenarios, but in reality they have no idea of what will actually happen in case of Grexit, or, Grexident.
