[FF Editorial: In the unlikely event that Zionist Israel attacks Iran’s nuclear installations, Iran should not retaliate against any US targets, military or civilian. This is because Israel wants the US to be the cannon fodder at no risk to itself. Suppose, Israel sends some war planes to bomb Iran’s nuclear sites (an exercise in futility in any event) and Iran retaliates against US military targets in the Persian Gulf, the US gangster (and it is typical of gangsters) will rush to war. Israel then scales back and watch the ensuing war from the sidelines. Objective achieved – US gangsters wage war for Israel. When the Iranian economy is destroyed, no one will dare to sell oil in other currencies than in US dollars.

China and Russia don’t have the balls to do it openly and that is why they are orchestrating behind the curtains and for the moment through bilateral agreements on bilateral trade so that they cannot be accused by the Zionist Anglo-American Financial Mafia of buying oil in other currencies, because such agreements cover all traded goods between the countries concerned.

Iran should instead counter-attack on Israeli targets, and UK targets, both military and civilian. There will be the usual cry of war crimes etc. against Iran. But when these war criminal bastards (and the biggest of them all are the Brits, the actual mastermind of all wars in the 20th and 21st centuries, but pretend to be the poodle of the US war party), attack Iran, it is to destroy her entire economy and the bulk of the fatalities will be civilians as in Libya and now Syria. The stupid US are not the mastermind, but perceived to be as such through well orchestrated media campaigns devised by the Brits. No one dare accuse the Brits of being war criminals, not even China and Russia. So, Iran should not be naïve. Iran should counter in like manner for her survival and set an example for the rest of the Muslim world to follow.

If, and it will be a big if, Israel is foolish enough to launch a war, Iran MUST BE MERCILESS in its retaliation and COUNT ON ITS OWN STRENGTH. Its strategy should not be dependent on any other “partners” such as Russia and China. It will be a bonus if these two countries intervene via the Security Council to condemn the war crimes committed against Iran (which they have failed miserably to do so in the case of Libya and Syria). But, Iran should not count on them to assist militarily as both these emerging powers do not have the commitment to do so. Their foreign policy is essentially opportunistic. They will put up some pantomime of resistance but will concede when things get real “hot”. It is only when the enemies are at their borders will they act, and of course by that time, it is too late.

So, Iran should focus her counter-attack on Israel and Britain. Why Britain? Because, right now the British economy is in a shambles, she is bankrupt. And her military does not have the same capacity and ability as the US military. The British people are not ready for a war that will expose them to the same devastation as would be suffered by the Iranians. The Brits do not consider Israel in the same manner as the stupid Americans (who are readily swayed by the Zionist controlled Congress). David Cameron, being a Zionist stooge may call for military action to assist Israel and US. You can bet when the British people get back the same dose of missiles as they have launched (cruise missiles, bombs etc.) against Iran, the Muslim minority will (without any urging by anyone) run riot all over “Mother England”. Fire and blood will rage and flow on the streets of all major cities, and the riot in 2011 would be a mere side show in comparison. The Coalition government will collapse, and Israel would be isolated. Once the Arab main street realizes that Israel has no nuclear weapons, revolutions will spread across the entire Middle East, and the “Arab Spring” in Egypt would be a mere tea-party in comparison. Within a year from March 2012, Israel will cease to exist as an apartheid nation. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

By then, Obama would be thrown out of office come the November Presidential election. Whichever substitute the Zionist US Power Elites have chosen to replace Obama (most likely Jeb Bush who will be the Republican candidate to oppose Obama) will come to the stark realization that this would be a God-sent opportunity to sever once and for all the “political umbilical cord” with the Zionists. The likes of Ron Paul (and his grass-root movement) will galvanise the American masses to put an end to this criminal misadventure.]

‘Israel to US: I’m off to Iran... You’d better come...!’

Adrian Salbuchi - RT

It seems Israel’s leadership considers that its strategic, military, diplomatic and political ‘window of opportunity’ to make war against Iran is fast closing. Israeli and US leaders seem united in their strategic goal of destroying Iran - as they were in destroying Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan - but they’re also at loggerheads as to which tactical road to tread. The US prefers more economic and diplomatic pressure, coupled with continued covert operations inside Syria until the Assad government collapses and then Iran can be dealt with. Israel favors unilateral all-out military attack against Iran now.

Either way, this week may mark the final days of very intensive talks between US leaders and Israeli leaders. Last week, Israel’s president Shimon Peres and ultra-right Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman were in Washington putting pressure on US authorities, calling for immediate military action against Iran. Then, on Monday President Barack Obama welcomed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, reassuring him that “the United States will always have Israel’s back” and that whilst the United States “would prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon”, he added that, “we do believe there is still a window that allows for a diplomatic resolution to this issue.”

Still, tensions have been running high between the two countries. When US General Martin Dempsey called for moderation over Iran, it earned him Mr. Netanyahu’s accusation of being “a servant of Iran”.

Whatever finally happens, it will have to happen soon, because Israel, the US and the UK are very much aware that like the proverbial boy that cried “Wolf!” until nobody believed him anymore, they just cannot continue crying “We’re gonna take out Iran over its nukes!” and then do nothing.

Last week’s meetings in the US were particularly important. They had President Obama visiting for the Nth time the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC - American Israeli Public Affairs Committee - an organization that wields tremendous political, economic, financial, media and military leverage inside the US. So much so that at times it seems that AIPAC and the intricate network of pro-Zionist organizations it is part of, literally run the country. For AIPAC is the key transmission system whereby Israeli objectives and interests are imposed upon the US government, Congress and its media; and they do this in no uncertain terms.

Anybody who dares criticize AIPAC will immediately be struck by its Olympian bolts of lightning and branded an “Anti-Semite”, which is the very worst thing that can happen to any politician, diplomat, military officer, academic or journalist in the United States of America. Among those hit by such Israeli lightning, are former president Jimmy Carter, his National Security Advisor and Trilateral Commission ideologue Zbigniew Brzezinski, and academics Stephen Walt of the Kennedy School at Harvard University and John Mearsheimer of Chicago University.

Former President Carter wrote a book in 2006 called Palestine: Peace not Apartheid in which he highlighted the glaring similarities of gross racial injustice that exist between today’s Israeli ethnic cleansing in Palestine and yesterday’s South African Apartheid. That got put him in AIPAC’s line of fire.

In 2007 Professors Walt and Mearsheimer published a book, The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy, focusing on the excessive clout and leverage that pro-Israel lobby organizations like AIPAC have on US foreign policy, and that earned them their share of Israeli ire. The authors describe the Lobby as “a core consisting of organizations whose declared purpose is to encourage the US government and the American public to provide material aid to Israel and to support its government’s policies, as well as influential individuals for whom these goals are also a top priority”, adding that the “loose coalition that makes up the Lobby has significant leverage over the Executive Branch”.

AIPAC, they say, has a veritable “stranglehold on the US Congress” due to its “ability to reward legislators and congressional candidates who support its agenda, and to punish those who challenge it.” Considering that Zionism is basically a political ideology, the authors explained that although “the bulk of the lobby is comprised of Jewish Americans there are many American Jews who are not part of the lobby...which also includes many Christian Zionists.”

Walt and Mearsheimer explained that “No lobby has managed to divert US Foreign Policy as far from what the American national interest would otherwise suggest, while simultaneously convincing Americans that US and Israeli interests are essentially identical...What sets the Israel Lobby apart is its extraordinary effectiveness.” They conclude that when the Lobby succeeds in shaping US policy in the Middle East, then “Israel’s enemies get weakened or overthrown, Israel gets a free hand with the Palestinians, and the United States does most of the fighting, dying, rebuilding, and paying.”

Today, in what appear to be final talks between the US and Israel before war is unleashed, Mr. Netanyahu emphasized that “Israel must have the ability to defend itself, by itself, against any threat.” And then thanked president Obama for affirming in his speech before AIPAC that, as he himself put it, “Israel has the sovereign right to make its own decisions.” According to Monday’s New York Times, Israeli officials interpreted this to mean that the United States would not try to block a preemptive Israeli strike.

Will it be war, then? Let’s hope not, but very dark and heavy clouds have certainly gathered on the horizon.

It may just be a coincidence, but interestingly, in recent years key foes of Israel have been destroyed by the US and UK on dates that coincide with the Jewish Festivity of Purim that falls every year on the 14th of the Hebrew month of Adar. Based on the Old Testament Book of Esther, Purim celebrates the slaughter of 75,000 enemies of the Jews throughout the Persia Empire (modern Iran, of all places!)

Purim falls on a different date each year in our Western calendar: in 1991 it fell on 1st March (actually it started at sunset on 28th February) which was the exact day the Bush I administration called victory in Iraq. In 2003, Purim fell on 19th March which is when Bush II invaded Iraq. Last year it again fell on 19th March, marking the first massive NATO attack on Libya. This year Purim falls on 8th March. Will Israel and the US go into War Mode this week?
