Lies, Lies, Lies, Then Regime Change in Iran

By John Bayldon

Al-Jazeerah, June 23, 2006

"The US is determined to topple Iran's Islamic government whether or not the crisis over the country's nuclear activities is resolved, Iran's chief nuclear negotiator," Ali Larijani, said today.

Is this gentleman telling the truth? (See the Guardian article below)

Surely, in view of the previous morass of lies we were told by Us/ Israeli/ Uk warmongers and the media, we would be extremely stupid to believe any claims they now make, especially when, as now, they clearly seek 'regime change'.

Should we not look deeply into what kind of 'regime' they hate, and wish to see changed, and to the extent that they- as in Iraq, are prepared to sacrifice the lives of 200,000 people and expend public money to the point of national ruination.

For comparison, let us glance at the results- presumably the 'regime' after it has been 'changed'; what it is to be 'changed' into:

Bosnia, Afghanistan, Iraq, even the US and Palestine, or some would say especially these: All defy the description 'democracy' or can be shown to be better off- even if we ignore the loss of life and destruction involved in the 'regime changing'.

The glaring consistency, un pc as it may be, is that in all the past and present and I guess, future regimes that the US 'regime' targeted for change are devoid of the sorts of people who operate the White House and the current president, and now dictate US policy of 'regime change'. Namely Jewish Zionists, and that following the bloody conflict, the regime will be one operated by them and their fellows of the Zionist global media and financial elite.

The bloodshed and suffering of the people in each 'regime changed' nation is of no consequence, a few thousand, a few million dead children is "Worth it" according to one of their spokeswomen. And while the media and politicians lie, and lie and lie to justify and obfuscate, the public remains divided and stupefied as to the identity of the planners and their plan.

Some will claim it is to sieve the oil for the USA, others take the contrary position: it is to deny the supply to the USA and raise the price of it.

Others claim it is in order to support the military industrial complex and their eternal war.

Yet, others site the protection of Israel and its extension, the Greater Israel, across the Middle East.

The truth is that all of these are mere facilitating agencies and associates in a clear and present plan by some Jews to dominate the world- to change the regime of every independent country, into the global police state regime, which they will control.

The result of this lunatic scheme is a disaster for hundreds of thousands of dead, injured, bereaved, starved and traumatise innocents.Unless it is stopped and the perpetrators brought to book, it may prove to be a disaster for humanity. either way, it will be a disaster for the Jews, if the majority remain either silent or supportive of the White House cabal.

Let us beg these- the majority of Jews, if they care for the survival of humanity, or for the survival of their own race, to join us in tearing down this inhuman regime, and changing it for a sane and humane one.

Iran rejects US 'pressure' on nuclear issue

Thursday June 22, 2006 The Guardian

The US is determined to topple Iran's Islamic government whether or not the crisis over the country's nuclear activities is resolved, Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, Ali Larijani, said today.

US enmity towards Iran was entrenched, Mr Larijani told the Guardian. "The nuclear issue is just a pretext. If it was not the nuclear matter, they would have come up with something else."

The compromise package offered by the west on Iran's nuclear activities amounted to a "sermon", he said, rejecting outright President George Bush's demands this week that Iran suspend all uranium enrichment. 3pm

Iran rejects US 'pressure' on nuclear issue

The US is determined to topple Iran's Islamic government whether or not the crisis over the country's nuclear activities is resolved, Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, Ali Larijani, said today.

US enmity towards Iran was entrenched, Mr Larijani told the Guardian. "The nuclear issue is just a pretext. If it was not the nuclear matter, they would have come up with something else."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"If they want to put this prerequisite, why are we negotiating at all? Mr Bush is like a mathematician. When the equation becomes very difficult to work out, he likes to wipe it out altogether ... the pressure they are putting on us is reason enough for us to be suspicious."

Mr Larijani's remarks represented his most negative assessment since the west's package was presented on June 6, suggesting a quick resolution was unlikely. Diplomats say Iran has been given a de facto deadline of the G8 summit in St Petersburg in mid-July for a formal response.

But Mr Larijani said Iran would present extensive and detailed counter-proposals only when it was ready to do so, although committees of experts were "working round the clock". A debate is underway inside the government with hardline ayatollahs calling for outright rejection of the west's ideas and some officials stressing their positive aspects.

Mr Larijani, former deputy head of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, is the most influential political figure in the country after President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and answers directly to the Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. As chairman of the Supreme National Security Council, he oversees security and defence strategy.

Mr Larijani said American policies in the Middle East, from Iraq to Palestine, were deeply destabilising and had complicated efforts to cut a deal. "If they continue on the same path, the price of oil will skyrocket and it will strengthen our resolve. They want to set fire to the region. The American strategy is to use force to secure their interests."

He also blamed Israel for many of the region's problems. "I think those people advising the CIA are the Zionists. They are pushing [the Americans] into this quagmire of war."

He denied reports that Iran was planning to block oil export routes through the Strait of Hormuz, at the mouth of the Gulf, if it was attacked or if UN sanctions were imposed. But he warned that if hostile action was taken through the UN security council, Iran would "reconsider its relationship" with the International Atomic Energy Agency. That could spell an end to already limited UN inspections of the nuclear plants at Natanz and Isfahan.

Mr Larijani said he was in constant contact by telephone with the EU's foreign policy chief, Javier Solana, contrasting Iran's dialogue with the Europeans with a lack of contact with the Bush administration.

But he offered to talk to the White House if US policies changed. "We should put aside the [US] sanctions and give up all this talk about regime change. This is what we are looking for ... if the Americans change their behaviour in the region and change their strategy, I assure you that talking over the phone will not be a serious problem."

He was critical of US attempts to promote democracy inside Iran. "They said they wanted to turn Iraq into a beacon of democracy. And out of that whole venture came Abu Ghraib and atrocities that were committed there on a daily basis ... the Palestinians chose a Hamas government. Why are they so hostile towards them?"

The $70m earmarked by the Bush administration to aid propaganda efforts inside Iran was an insult, he said. "I think that money is very little, to be honest," he said with a wry smile. "The minimum acceptable amount should be $70bn so the citizens of this country would at least get something out of it."

Mr Larijani declined to discuss the specifics of Iran's coming counter-proposals. "But suffice it to say [the west's package] has a lot of ambiguous points. These ambiguities persist from the beginning to the end of the package. On many of the points, we do not know how they intend to go about them. The package is more like a statement. If we are going to get agreement, we do not need a sermon."

Mr Larijani said there was no doubt that security guarantees were badly needed as part of any deal - "but not what they have talked about. They should not try to repackage their needs as incentives and offer that to us as a concession".

But he reiterated Iran's insistence that, despite western suspicions to the contrary, it has no wish to acquire a nuclear weapons capability. "We are not trying to construct the bomb. We don't want the bomb. The Americans know this. And Mr [John] Negroponte [the US intelligence tsar] announced some time ago that that Iranians don't have the bomb and wouldn't be able to make the bomb, even if they wanted to, for more than 10 years."

He strongly objected to the west's perceived double standards in objecting to limited nuclear-related "research and development" by Iran while acquiescing in Israel's and India's nuclear weapons programmes.
