The U.S. will renew sanctions push in light of alleged Iranian plot

[News Feed]

The United States will be looking for nations around the world to get tougher on Iran in the wake of the alleged plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United States, a senior State Department official said Tuesday.

I see no one has dared touch this article. Although I suppose there's really no need as by now we pretty much know where everyone stands. This thread would go down just like any other:

Redrumloa: This will only lead to further economic disaster, especially with Obama as president.​

Faethor: Clearly this demonstrates Obama's commitment to fighting terror abroad AND at home.​

Fluffy: Watch my YouTube video where I explain how the "plotters" were recently in contact with MOSAD agents.​

Robert: What Fluffy said.​

Metalman: Here's a video of homosexual Iranians beheading an American tourist in Mexico.​

Cecilia: Further proof that Bush is a moron!​

Speel: What Cecilia said!​

Dammy: Googling this story only leads to news sites. Clearly the Global Elites are hiding something.​

Wayne:​

Ltstanfo: Just goes to show we need to remove all remaining gun controls and restrictions!​

TheLeander: Let's stick with the facts!​

Fade: Its Canada's socialized security policies that allowed it to get as far as it did!​

Karlos: First, let me explain in very fine detail how a bomb is constructed.​

ADZ: Here's some funny pics of Iranians in the 80s!​

Ilwrath: Bomb plot? That's nothing compared to what happens in Detroit every night!​

Glaucus: You're all wrong!​

Apologies to anyone I missed (and those I haven't ).

I heard about it on the radio but I am waiting for more information. It sounds pretty bogus right off the bat - too good to be true for America's plan to go after Iran, too stupid to be an official act of Iran.

 

[Glaucus]

I'll agree with you on the latter, it does seem too stupid. But I also don't think the US will do much about Iran right now. Unless this story develops into something more, but it's hard to say. Although I think the obvious reaction would be to suspect Iran or the US behind this "plot", I would have to also consider these other nations as well: Israel, Saudi Arabia and Syria. Probably others as well.

 

[FluffyMcDeath]

But I also don't think the US will do much about Iran right now.

It may amount to substantially less than nothing in the end. Issa has subpoenaed Holder so it may just be that Holder needs something "terroristy" to wave and it also works so that Hillary can shake it at people to try to get them to enforce the current sanctions against Iran - so there is some synchronicity to it - it's useful to a couple of people.

Of course, even if the entire Saudi Royal Family were assassinated it clearly wouldn't be an attack against the US (and may even be a good thing) so they are reaching here to puff this up into something.

I don't like the Saudi's, but implying they are worse than Iran is a stretch.

Iran is no shining beacon, but Iranian society is far more open than Saudi society. Women aren't allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia but they do in Iran, and more...

Of course, the US seems to be on a spree smashing up places that have emancipated women and turning them into doddering restrictive theocracies. It's hardly a surprise that the religious radicals seem to be the big winners whenever you smash secular governments and destroy a country's infrastructure - but that's another matter.

 

[Glaucus]

I'll agree that Iran is more progressive in terms of women's right than Saudi Arabia, which is really just a notch above the Taliban.

But the reality is that both Saudi Arabia and Israel hate Iran far more than the US does. But also, those two nations are not the only ones that hate Iran. I for one would not at all be surprised if Syria was behind this. They're probably tired of being Iran's proxy in a loosing war and perhaps the best way to get them off their back is to get the US to wipe them out. I wouldn't bet much on that, but just as plausible as anything else I've heard so far.

 

[Robert]

You're all wro.... sorry... I mean: What Fluffy said!

 

[faethor]

Sorry to disappoint you Glaucus... Perhaps we should just call it even for the UK/USA sponsored Iranian Coup in 53.

 

[Glaucus]

heh, I think it was easier for me to "guess" what those I typically argue against would say, as opposed to those with whom I typically agree with. Anyway, it was supposed to be more funny than accurate, guess I missed the mark.

I think you had me down pretty well, but you missed the tenuous excuse to take a cheap shot at Java whilst describing various sophisticated remote detonation mechanisms...

Didn't this all actually happened back around April (March?) and yet Holder announces it when Issa announces his subpoena?

No worries, the Muslim Brotherhood will over throw the House of Saud around this time next year or in early 2013. I suspect that Iran will be after that.

 

[Karlos]

Ooh, I dunno. Don't be fooled by their respective diplomatic relations with the US. Viewed purely in terms of how they govern their own populations, I'd have to say Saudi is more repressed.

Surely the "global elites" won't allow anything to further destabilise the price of oil...

 

[Dammy]

Opposite, they want to use oil prices to spike prices that will send massive shockwaves through the world's economy. That is the trigger for global financial collapse. At $200+ @ barrel for crude, and shortages, what is life going to be like in the UK? Second trigger is the collapse of the EURO which will drive the US "Too Big To Fail" financial institutes into bankruptcy and adding into a massive inflationary spiral (Feds will pump money into the economy to stop massive credit crunch) of the USD. With the TBTF financial institutions dead, municipal and corp bonds will become worthless. That means the US's 401Ks and IRAs will tank and that will be in excess of $9T, plus individual company and union retirements will also tank, so your looking at a near $14T worth of US savings lost in a matter of months in the US. Many Europeans have been investing in US T-Bills, which will be worthless as the US goes into near hyperinflation and the US will default on them as well at some point in time. It's all about control, and the Muslim Brotherhood doesn't care as long as they return to the Caliphate for all of Middle East.

2012 is the beginning. And I wouldn't be shocked to hear that the "Mahdi" makes a well organized announcement that he has returned to begin his rule. If it's done right, not too many will challenge his veracity and live. Didn't the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei state in the past year or so that he had talked to the agents of the "Mahdi" already?

I was under the impression that the "global elites" were the top financial organisations. That can't be the case if your suggestion is true. So, who are these "global elites" that actually want the worlds financial markets/institutions to collapse?

It's not about money, it's about control. Do you think the elites really care about those financial institutes? The financial institutions are nothing but cheap whores to the elites, meant to be used, abused, and tossed away. The Elites are the parasites sucking the blood out of those financial institutes, once the hosts are dead, the elites will be the new hosts, stepping in to "save" things as they have hard assets vs worthless fiat monies. Before it's all over with, banks will have foreclosed on every home and business that had loans on it as people could no longer serviced those loans, and then the financial institutions themselves will hit disaster and what will the way over extended, suffering from massive inflation, governments going to do with dead financial institutes that own everything? Elites will offer governments a way out and take over those financial institutions for them, for basically nothing as they lay out a patch work of a new global currency backed by hard assets. Elites will be our global financial savior, and they did it by stealing everything and causing this global financial meltdown in the first place.

The companies that the elites will protect are the oil companies and farms. Do a search of Soros, Rogers, and Buffett plus farms. Guess what they are buying up? Two things no modern society can do without and will buy it regardless, energy and food. Name of the game is control.
