Views from Iran, e-mails from an Iranian
Emily Spence
(Tuesday, 16 June 2009) By Vahab, e-mails from an Iranian
Emily,
Internet very very slow here. Almost non-existent. Yesterday it was not connected at all. Also cell-phones are faulty most of the times. SMS messages are totally off.
Last night, they started to dismount satellite dishes from the roof tops, disconnecting Iranians from satellite TV (outer world). The religious dictatorship is trying to block any effective communication path between people inside Iran and between Iran and outside world.
Evidence for a New Nuremberg: Obama's Nazi Health Plan
by Nancy Spannaus
June 4—When the Obama economic team, dominated by the larcenous economics advisor Larry Summers, and murderous accountant and Budget Director Peter Orszag, launched their offensive to ram through the Administration's Nazi health "reform" June 2, they thought they would have their day. Instead, they found themselves confronted and exposed as the purveyors of a Hitler genocide plan, that would condemn millions of Americans to death, as having what Hitler called "lives not worthy to be lived."
The Obama team showed no shame. Again and again, burnished under a patina of bureaucratic jargon, they demanded hundreds of millions of dollars in cuts for the most vulnerable of American citizens, insisted upon stopping so-called unnecessary medical care for as much as a third of the American population, and put their version of fiscal health before the lives of people. While they brazenly pour trillions of dollars of Federal monies into the very banking institutions which have brought the world economy to its knees, they tell American citizens, particularly those on Medicare and Medicaid, that they are "overconsuming" health care, and have to be stopped, "for their own good."
Iran's Election and US - Iranian Relations
Stephen Lendman
In the run-up to Iran's June 12 presidential election, early indications suggested the media's reaction if the wrong candidate won. On June 7, New York Times writer Robert Worth reported "a surge of energy (for) Mir Hussein Mousavi, a reformist who is the leading contender to defeat Mr. Ahmadinejad (and) a new unofficial poll (has him well ahead) with 54 percent of respondents saying they would vote for him compared with 39 percent for Mr. Ahmadinejad." No mention of who conducted the poll, how it was done, what interests they represented, or if Mousavi winning might be the wrong result. More on that below.
Journalist — Occupied Palestine Jewish Chabad's Genocidal Morality, The Fanatical US-based Organization Exposed
By Khalid Amayreh
Religious Zionism promoting for the annihilation of Arabs and
non-Jews is rife, not only amongst Israelis, but also adopted by
Israel's government, (Reuters photo)
"The only way to fight a moral war is the Jewish way. Destroy their holy sites; kill their men, women, children, and even cattle. "These are not the words of a loony Jewish terrorist, marauding through the hills of the West Bank in search for an elderly Arab peasant or shepherd to kill.
In fact, these words were uttered last week by Manis Friedman, a prominent and highly-respected Chabad-lubavitch rabbi who is widely admired among many Orthodox Jews, especially in the United States.
Writing in response to a question posed by Moment Magazine for its "Ask the Rabbis" feature, the Minnesota-based rabbi argued that "if we followed this wisdom (killing innocent Arab men, women and children), there would be no civilian casualties, no children in the line of fire, no false sense of righteousness, in fact, no war."
Iranian Elections: The ‘Stolen Elections’ Hoax
James Petras
“Change for the poor means food and jobs, not a relaxed dress code or mixed recreation…Politics in Iran is a lot more about class war than religion.” = Financial Times Editorial, June 15 2009
Introduction
There is hardly any election, in which the White House has a significant stake, where the electoral defeat of the pro-US candidate is not denounced as illegitimate by the entire political and mass media elite. In the most recent period, the White House and its camp followers cried foul following the free (and monitored) elections in Venezuela and Gaza, while joyously fabricating an ‘electoral success’ in Lebanon despite the fact that the Hezbollah-led coalition received over 53% of the vote.
Resignation of David M. Walker, the most important economic indicator of things to come: The Fall of Rome
by chycho
Since the global financial meltdown seems to be the main concern with our corporate world, let’s begin with this topic.
David M. Walker and the Fall of Rome
There have been a few major economic events in the last few years, but I consider the resignation, in March 2008, of David M. Walker from his commission of Comptroller General of the United States and head of the Government Accountability Office to be the harbinger of what is to come.
Walker resigned 5 years before the end of his 15-year term expired. His reasons for resigning were that he was limited to what he could do and that the United States was in danger of collapsing in much the same manner as the Roman Empire.
“Drawing parallels with the end of the Roman empire, Mr Walker warned there were ‘striking similarities’ between America’s current situation and the factors that brought down Rome, including ‘declining moral values and political civility at home, an over-confident and over-extended military in foreign lands and fiscal irresponsibility by the central government’.”
For months before his resignation he traveled the country educating Americans about the financial crisis and the pending bankruptcy of the United States.

Dr. King Spanks Obama: Part 3
By David Kendall
"In the days ahead we must not consider it unpatriotic to raise certain basic questions about our national character. We must begin to ask, "Why are there forty million poor people in a nation overflowing with such unbelievable affluence?" Why has our nation placed itself in the position of being God's military agent on earth, and intervened recklessly in Vietnam and the Dominican Republic? Why have we substituted the arrogant undertaking of policing the whole world for the high task of putting our own house in order? All these questions remind us that there is a need for a radical restructuring of the architecture of American society. For its very survival's sake, America must re-examine old presuppositions and release itself from many things that for centuries have been held sacred. For the evils of racism, poverty and militarism to die, a new set of values must be born. Our economy must become more person-centered than property- and profit-centered. Our government must depend more on its moral power than on its military power." [1]

UNMASKING THE IRANIAN POWER PLAY
Allen L Roland
Why are we surprised by the Iran elections when we are dealing with a Theocracy whose supreme leader has absolute control of the election, the election review process, as well as the Republican Guard and can readily dispose of his opposition. The real game is not being played on the streets of Iran:
Ambassador M K Bhadrakumar was a career diplomat in the Indian Foreign Service. His assignments included the Soviet Union, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Germany, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Kuwait and Turkey and his analysis is important in identifying who the real contenders are in the recent Iran presidential election as well as how high the stakes are.
Update from the Rafah border
from the International Movement to Open Rafah Border
Yesterday was a really hard day with all the sick and wounded Palestinians waiting hours under the sun egyptians authorities’ agreement to enter into Gaza. All the other people have been denied to exit Egypt
Our friends, Paki Wieland, Ellen Graves, and Don Bryant, USA pursue their hunger strikes.
After talking with our embassies, we have understood that the siege at the Rafah border is an Egypt’s exclusive decision. Israel has nothing to do in this closure. Please send emails, fax to your Egyptian embassy and tell them how shameful this situation is.
Netanyahu Speaks with Twisted Tongue
By Dr. Elias Akleh
In his foreign policy speech, Sunday 6/14 at the religiously extremist Bar Ilan University, the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu did not only put the cart of peace in front of the horse, but he also loaded that cart with tons of heavy rocks. The Palestinian senior negotiator, Saeb Erekat, explained “The peace process has been moving at a turtle speed; tonight Netanyahu had flipped this turtle on its back”.
