Before It’s News – by Tom Dennen
Israel’s response to Obama’s surprise move to delay or even possibly cancel air strikes made clear that connection: looking soft on Assad after accusing him of killing hundreds of people with chemical weapons may embolden his backers in Tehran to develop nuclear arms, Israeli officials said. And if they do, Israel may strike Iran alone, unsure Washington can be trusted.
The Bankers’ wars.
This is how World War Two started – note the date – March 1933 , the same month that the Reichstag adopted the Enabling Act of 1933. President Paul von Hindenburg had already appointed Hitler as Chancellor on 30 January 1933 after a series of parliamentary elections and associated backroom intrigues. The Enabling Act—when used ruthlessly and with authority—virtually assured that Hitler could thereafter constitutionally exercise dictatorial power without legal objection. (More below picture…)

Unlike Germany in 1933, when people were sleeping in the streets and unemployment at an all-time high, Iran’s economy is a mixed and transition economy with a large public sector. Some 50% of the economy is centrally planned.[link] dominated by oil and gas production, although over 40 industries are directly involved in the Tehran Stock Exchange.[link]
Iran is the world’s seventeenth largest by purchasing power parity (PPP)[22] and twenty-fifth by nominal gross domestic product.[link] The country is a member of Next Eleven.
A unique feature of Iran‘s economy is the presence of large religious funds, whose combined budgets represent more than 30% of central government spending – Wikipedia
So Iran is not exactly poor, but is in a similar “arms race” as Germany before WWII – allegedly building nuclear weapons, which is what much of the ado is about.
Between 1933 and 1934 Germany rose to become the most powerful economy in Europe – during the Great Depression.
Iran is one of the few remaining countries under the Anglo-American economic oil hegemony that still has its own central bank and is not in debt to the Private International banks.
Iran’s banking policy with regard to foreign debt is simple – it will be virtually wiped out during the fourth and fifth Five-Year Development Pland (FYDP). Also, the monetization of any budget deficit by borrowing from the ICB is prohibited – their ‘debt ceiling’ kept under 30% of government revenues.
Also, the currency issued by the ICB is not ‘fiat’.
America and most of Europe’s Debt-to-GDP Ratio is over 100%, which means they are literally bankrupt. Compare notes with the Iranian Debt-to-GDP ratios over the last few years:
Mister President Barak Hussein Obama blinked.
So now it’s time to ‘Watch the Press’ as he struggles between a rock and a very hard place over the Syria ‘crisis’: first, he’s now for some very real legal reasons, asking Congress for permission to unilaterally attack another country.
No President since Viet Nam has asked Congress to exercise this United States Constitutional Requirement – GW Bush simply ushered in his ‘pre-emptive strike’ doctrine,sans Congress, by using fake evidence of WMDs (never found) in Iraq along with inter alia, Britisher Tony Blair’s ‘Dodgy documents’ support up to the outing of a CIA operative over flakey Nigerian nuclear fuel… and the American MSM to bolster the lies… and then sent more American kids into harm’s way.
Second, and this is the Really Hard Place, Russia’s Vladimir Putin says he’ll only back a unilateral attack on Syria if the United Nations okays it.
I’d sure hate to be the meat in that sandwich… why?
Once that ‘red line’ is drawn, no matter who crosses it or how it’s crossed – whether by Assad or his rebel opposition, Mossad or CIA provocateurs – Obama’s cred is at stake – he’s gotta act… but for reasons we simply cannot know, he is not being ‘a decider’ here, he’s buying time…
After all, setting off World War Three may not be the best footnote a man could have in the history books.
What happened at Ghouta last month, on August 21, 2013 where over 1000 Syrian civilian men, women and children died without any sign of external wounds?
As in April, Israel has come forward with intelligence supposedly proving that the victims of the attacks died from nerve gas deployed by units from Assad’s Syrian Arab Army (SAA).
That alone would make me question Assad’s sanity given his back-to-the-wall position in the middle east as the last domino before the sword rattling becomes heavy guns aimed at Iran… which Israel threatens to attack if We, The American People don’t… do what we’re told?
That’s some super-neat Iranian history and information, but it has nothing to do with the headline.
It really appears the western power is failing. This can be good, but potentially bad. It is possible the USA is the last thing standing in the way of a Communist World Order. Life as in Russia or China is not an acceptable replacement for the Democratic Republic. You have to suspect the bankers, they are international and control vast amounts of knowledge and power. This may be their Phoenix.
