Iran: Propaganda Ducks pile up

Earlier this month, the popular media (here an example from the Handelsblatt) against the background of the "Euro crisis" Iran plans to rebuild its foreign exchange reserves. So would the Central Bank of Iran (CBI) redeploy the euro massively in favor of the dollar and gold. Because of the continued Euro weakness is planning to roughly 45 billion euros to sell the share of the euro at the foreign exchange reserve should be reduced from 55% to 15-20%.

A somewhat strange message that, without question, of course, to the current "Euromiesmacherei" fits. So bad it is so to the euro, so you might think, even if the US-nemesis Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wants to invest in U.S. dollar again! Cui bono? Certainly not the Europeans, as introduced although undemocratic-dictatorial, the euro is now times currently the currency in which our accounts are maintained ...

Just last year, Ahmadinejad had the dollar referred to as "worthless paper" and begun since 2007, the Persian oil to act increasingly in currencies other than the U.S. dollar (z. Zt. Approximately 85% in other currencies). And now the favorite enemy of the United States suddenly operated as a drummer for the dollar? After all, can the Handelsblatt in contrast to other news media still doubters on this message come to words.

. Three days later, on 06/06/2010, for example, you could read in selected media a denial, in the business newspaper : The head of Iran's Central Bank said that it was stated that such reports to "outright lies". Unfortunately provide appropriate denials but no longer in the evening news, so the presumed purpose of misreporting was achieved: to weaken the Euro.

In general, it is enlightening, even "Iran denies" the keyword input: It appears an endless loop of messages and messages western media that denies Iran. A clear indication that we are dealing with a propaganda war in the media. Of course you can not review all messages. Also I would Iran not always want to insinuate "innocence"; but that it is an imbalance here, it seems to me obvious.

Iranian Red Crescent en route to Gaza (Source: IRNA)

When I read a few days ago in the daily press and on the net that Iran had the right to provide military escorts the fleet of the Revolutionary Guards are available for planned new aid ship convoys to besieged Gaza, I thought the little man from Tehran was now truly and really wild resolved to fill the role of Beelzebub with all power and internally braced myself for the worst.

The relevant message, here is a typical example was, as his source the Jerusalem Post and Reuters. The online edition derJerusalem Post, however, contained nothing that could substantiate this offer military, on the contrary, the JP gave a fairly detailed denial of this claim. The problem with the thing: In the current propaganda war after illegal capers of the Free Gaza flotilla in international waters and the massacre of nine Turkish passengers of the vessel Marvi Marmara is obviously Nachgetreten.

The Iranian Red Crescent had the supply of 4 tons of relief supplies, in fact announced . As the Iranian news agency IRNA announced on 15.6.2010, an auxiliary vessel will leave the Iranian port Khorramshar shortly with food, clothing and medicines for Gaza, while another auxiliary transport from northern Iran should be handled via Istanbul.

Because it takes little imagination to imagine how a military escort Iranian Revolutionary Guards Israeli special commands in the Mediterranean meets - let the party begin! Or not?

On 14.6.2010 IRNA spread once again a disclaimer: The first deputy head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander Hossein Salami, told reporters that something was not on the agenda of the Revolutionary Guards.

On the more stringent sanctions against Iran addressed, Salami added: "We do not fear sanctions because our economy does not depend on trade with powerful countries. During the last 31 years, we have always been subject to sanctions. We have experience in living with sanctions and thus we gained full autonomy. In reality, it is so that the world economic ties with Iran needs because Iran is a great country and at the same time as producer consumer of economic goods. "

    Iran's Foreign Minister: nuclear weapons bring only misfortune

    The Iranian Foreign Minister Mottaki Manuschehr has called for nuclear disarmament. "Nuclear weapons not solve any problem. Just bring misfortune, "Mottaki said on Monday, 6/12/2010, Athens. On the same day his country took in Geneva talks with the five UN veto powers and Germany over its controversial nuclear program back on. There, Iran is represented by chief negotiator Saeed Jalili.

    I do not think that Iran under the pressure of sanctions is so, but that he really wants to use nuclear energy for civilian purposes only. It is further noted that Iran has openly threatened war of aggression by Israel and the United States if Tehran does not return to the negotiating table. This step is now done, when it will not last long in my opinion and Iran must stop the calls, because the other side is intolerable conditions. The other side wants to prevent the resource-rich Iran intends to market its natural resources for themselves and especially for the benefit of its own population.

    The example of Haiti (petroleum), recently researched by the author of Becklog, reveals parallels and Germany makes diligent in this abgekaterten game. So remarked today, 06.12.2010 German Development Aid Minister Dirk Niebel Hauptmann dR (FDP), he hoped to "clear political structures" in Haiti.
    That after the presidential election on the island state aid for the impoverished Caribbean nation can be more effectively utilized. After the devastating earthquake almost a year ago (January 2010) existing aid money would often need to be retained, since it is not been clear where the money would flow, Niebel told the news agency AFP. "My hope is that after the presidential election clear political structures have been identified that allow the reconstruction of a public administration and thereby again orderly living conditions can be established."
    As a reminder, Aristide was overthrown when he tried to leave the 5 Gb of oil promote for its own people for profit. And Niebel rated this idea of ​​promoting Haitian sources with the objective to invest the capital gains in the non-performing Haitian people not even publicly, precisely because it is, although apparently logical, but industrial policy simply not wanted.
