Syria: EU countries now officially war party?

Thursday, May 30, 2013

The lifting of the arms embargo against Syria by the EU shows nicely what it is "Europe must speak with one voice" with the mantra repeated request is all about: you lacks any basis in doubt. The EU allowed each country now, in terms of arms supplies again for themselves to decide how they want to behave. This permission would not have been necessary - the sovereign nation-state is and will remain for the foreseeable future the ultimate reference size.

Were it not for the Nobel Peace Prize, which the EU recently awarded ... As the French and British insistence on arms supplies to the Syrian rebels already acts like a cruel joke. And evokes unpleasant memories of the colonial past of both states in the region: (more ...)

Iran: Construction of gas pipeline to Syria and the Mediterranean

Friday, November 23, 2012

According to media reports , Iran has begun construction of its gas pipeline to Syria - a 10-billion-dollar project. The first phase extends over 225 miles and cost 3 billion dollars. The entire project is scheduled for completion in the second half of 2013. The gas pipeline deal was agreed in July last year between Iran, Iraq and Syria.

The company speaks a language other than the Western arms deliveries to rebels and fanatical than the supported also by Germany Strangulationspolitik against Syria, which still maintains the last country in the region religious tolerance and coexistence of cultures.

The Iranian announcement raises concerns that an energy strategic dimension in the western approach to the participating countries could increase as the project is in direct competition with Nabucco and also Iran on Syria would provide direct sales market in Europe.

Brzezinski's message to Israel

Saturday, November 17, 2012

On 24.2.2012 was Zbigniew Brzezinski, global strategist, former US foreign policy and history professor interviewed in the US broadcaster CNN. In it, he expressed his surprise decision on Iran.

The current situation in Gaza and the procedure there against all reason and reasonableness of each reaction, should be related to the fact of an apparently unwillingness of US elites to turn the Middle East into a war zone. It is interesting to Brzezinski's "we". "We" - most likely a part of the tonangebene US elites. (more ...)

Hillary Clinton: Shock Video on Iran

Wednesday, July 04, 2012

On 20.6.12 led Bloomberg TV interview with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former Secretary of State James Baker. Interviewer was Charlie Rose, Topic: US diplomacy. During the conversation it came to Iran to speak.

The scary thing is not only that both politicians obviously mentally ignore in an inhuman manner on any (international) law, but in what obscene, the US Secretary of laughs at the Bakers statement, the US should turn to Iran.

The scene shocked me deeply. One should not lightly others deny the humanity, but it would be reversed naive to want to "people like you and me" call politicians per se.

This makes drunken, living in a completely different world species, highly amused at the thought of "off" another country. The horny laughter cascade this woman is me sound like a long time in the ears. The sequence should show all the idiots still behind the much-vaunted "Western community of values". Wake Up!

"The world," declared war scenario

Attack scenario

Yesterday Hans Rühle explained in the "World" of the world, like an attack on Iran will look through Israel.

Rühle's loud "world" expert on nuclear technology and weapons. From 1982 to 1988 he was Director of the Policy Planning Staff in the German Defense.

It can hardly be troubled, as discussed openly in the Springer press war scenarios, as if it were not for people, but a few insignificant chess pieces - which must of course pay the highest price in the end. As if not war a disaster that does not allow more boost.

Within a perversion of Denke put forward logical arguments is basically pointless. It also does not help to complain advanced insanity of the ruling elites - they will not understand the need for a profound psycho-therapy for yourself than necessary.

There are no relevant societal forces identified that would be willing to madness to challenge the truth, mention the churches, trade unions have other things to do and the majority of the party leaders are united behind the claim of "German responsibility", which is now not as a responsibility peace, but is interpreted as a responsibility and obligation to war. From a historical responsibility. Because of our history. (more ...)

Canada is building military base in Cologne / Bonn. Hub for foreign missions, hub to the east.

Cologne / Bonn Airport

Granted - I drove the breakfast coffee in amazement into the trachea: The Bonner General Anzeiger waited this morning on page 1 with a headline of a special kind:
"Canada is building military base in Cologne / Bonn. Hub for foreign missions. Airport ministerial announcement surprised. "(GA Bonn v. 15.2.2012)

Well, so fast it can go, right? The already noise-ridden citizens are not even asked themselves the airport knows nothing of his good fortune.

Time to revise the Thomas-de-Maizière image again: The graumausig-inconspicuous occurring always velvety steamed daherredende de Maizière, a graduate of the Leadership Program of the Atlantic and bridge to Berlin (Young Leader alumnus) is underestimated: it is in the thing tough and he'll get what he wants by lightning speed is not great noise, without special notice.

USS Enterprise on Flickr

Leon Panetta, US Secretary of Defense, announced on Saturday, 22 January 2012 that the eight reactors nuclear-powered USS Enterprise was on his way to the Persian Gulf. The aircraft carrier Methuselah built in 1960 will pass through the Strait of Hormuz in March. The USS Abraham Lincoln has already done along with British and French warships, so DEBKAfile v. 23.1.2012 .

Fears about the possibility of a false flag attack in view of ongoing discussions hysterical war an attack on Iran are on loud that it previously was once on another warship, namely the USS Liberty in 1967.

The events of that June 8, 1967 was probably one of the most dangerous highlights of the cold war, a nuclear exchange could be very likely avoided only by accident. (more ...)

Wolfgang Ischinger cited the grounds that he was a "model transatlantic figure". He was a "true friend" of the Munich Security Conference and have led the US delegation for years and used over a long period of German-American relations prevail. Is there more?

The Obama mentor Lieberman is formally a US Democrat, but a real neoconservative politicians with hawkish foreign policy views. In the annals of the Munich Conference Lieberman was a 2010, since it then with his appearance einhandelte a complaint for Auftstachelung to a war of aggression.

[...] The US leaders pointed out that the military leadership of the United States have already confirmed such plans in the event that it does not come to a political solution. , No one wants that to happen.

US four-star general Wesley Clark (Source: Wikimedia Commons)

On 2.3.2007 led Amy Goodman of "Democracy Now", an independent US news channel, an interview with the American four-star general Wesley Clark, who was 34 years of service to the US Department of Defense. He was also among others 1997-2000 Supreme Allied Commander of NATO.
Clark retained a degree of independence in judgment, inter alia, he was against the Iraq war.

Clark reported in Goodman as follows:

"About ten days after 9/11, I went through the Pentagon and I saw Rumsfield Minister and his deputy Wolfowitz. I went down to just a few people from the Joint Staff to say hello, who had worked for me.

And one of the generals called me and said:
You must come in time, I have to briefly talk to you. '
I said, we are too busy. '
He said, 'No, no, we have made the decision to wage war against Iraq'.

It was on or about September 20, [2001] around.
I said, 'Why we are lead to the Iraq war'?
He said, 'I do not know'. He said, 'I guess they otherwise have nothing else to do'.
I said, 'Well, they have information that bring Saddam to Al-Qaeda in connection'?
He said, 'No, there's nothing new in this way, you have just made the decision to go to war against Iraq.. I think they do not know what to do against the terrorists, but we have a good army and we can eliminate governments.

War Message of the Day

Saturday, 03 December, 2011.

Still half asleep, I stumbled down the stairs and saw the blurred newspaper lying on the stairs, "45,000 Koblenz evacuated ... bombs ... severe impairment ...". The processing of information through my synapses was made slowly and I wondered what had happened.

Wars loose on the timing of things. The message was somehow in the past, the present and the future.

The consequences of the Second World War are being felt now still - every day, change the past affect the present and look to the future. They dissolve linearity.

The 1.8 ton bomb was dropped 66 or 67 years ago in the Rhine, even after decades can theoretically explode yet. In truth, the consequences of war never heard of.

Property damage, physical and mental deformities who enter inherited to the next generations. (more ...)

Stuxnet, Siemens and cyber war against Iran

Wednesday, January 19, 2011

For several days makes "Stuxnet" headlines again: The computer worm had seen in the previous year for guesswork. First, it was speculated that he was directed exclusively against Iran's nuclear facilities, then feared that the problem could draw much larger circles.

Reason: Worldwide countless industrial plants (. Eg nuclear reprocessing plants, power plants generally, automotive, industrial manufacturing plants) are equipped with a special control system from Siemens, which runs on the Windows operating system. The evil computer "dragon" is to manipulate able to control and production processes, but at the same time to provide a false-positive feedback that everything was fine, when in fact such. As the centrifuge of a nuclear reprocessing plant just hot ran. Moreover, Stuxnet could go unnoticed steal data and information.

In November last year, tens of thousands of infections were already known. About the authorship of the virus was only rumored. Already on 24.9.2010 the platform had news.discovery.com News reported : "Stuxnet was for the 'Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system' from Siemens, which is widely used for the management of water supplies, oil rigs, power plants and other industrial facilities tailored. [...] Once Stuxnet has entered into a computer system, it searches for any of the three Siemens SCADA controllers [Programmable Logic Controllers] (PLCs) that manage functions such as the control of the turbine speed [...] if there was a hit, took over Stuxnet automatic control of the PLC and hid all the changes to the workers who manage the system or work with. "

Since September last year, always as the Hamburg security expert argued Ralph Langner talk with his analysis of the worm attack on its own. Zdnet.de reported about on 22.9.2010: "The worm infects the computer with the Siemens software WinCC Scada, was established in July discovered. It can be used to remotely control industrial equipment. He enters through four vulnerabilities in Windows that Microsoft has been closed for two - one in the Windows shell and a Druckerwarteschlangendienst.Bei in his analysis Langner relies also upon a screenshot of a computer in the Bushehr plant, which Siemens running application. 'With the knowledge we have now, it is obvious and provable, that there is a direct sabotage attack with a lot of insider knowledge in Stuxnet', Langner writes on his company's website. The attack is based on a combination of multiple zero-day vulnerabilities and stolen certificates. 'This was created by a highly qualified team of experts who must have special experience with control systems. This is not a hacker sitting in the basement of his parents 'house.' In his view, the resources required for such an attack suggest that the initiator is a nation-state. "

In any case, an amazing discovery because of a photo of one Bushehr screen! Here the offer made ​​by Langner photo. (more ...)

Iran: Propaganda ducks accumulate

Sunday, June 20, 2010

Earlier this month, the popular media (here an example of 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. Due to the ongoing euro weakness you plan to approximately 45 billion euros to sell the euro's share in 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, one might think, even if the US nemesis Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wants to invest in US dollar again! Cui bono? Certainly not the Europeans introduced because although undemocratic-dictatorial, the euro is now times currently the currency in which our accounts are maintained ... (more ...)

Free Gaza fleet: the "Mavi Marmara" (Source: Creative Commons)

A flotilla of six ships with about 700 people from 32 different countries, including such well-known public figures like the Irish Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mairead Corrigan Maguire, the Swedish author Henning Mankell, European parliamentarians, including 3 German: the Left MPs Inge Hoger and Annette Groth and former MP Norman Paech and a Holocaust survivor ... a purely civilian business leading to further besieged and still war-torn Gaza, with its 1.5 million penned, the Israeli authorities have been notified in advance exactly on the content and composition of transport ... medical supplies, construction materials, wheelchairs, toys, etc., in the morning in international waters by 4 clock out of special forces of the Israeli army attacked from helicopters are fighters rappel, from the sea to come armed, it only exist shaky video of the disaster:

Result: So far, the figure is mentioned 20 dead and 50 to 80 injured. Accurate not yet known.

Attacks on convoys to Gaza had previously been given, but without any media attention, thank God, without deaths. What's different this time?

Israel is just plain crazy? True to the motto: "As allies of tyrants" or is there something else behind it?

Allow me to collect in the following arguments suggest that this incredible violation of international law, a deliberate provocation was and is to still trigger a Middle East war, when the chances for the Brazilian-Turkish nuclear agreement with Iran are increasingly viewed disappearing a few days ago, the action window so threatens to close.

The state violence against an international group of human rights activists is now the culmination of a chain of Unliebsamkeiten and increasing deterioration of relations between Israel and Turkey.

In parallel, Israel has suffered some deterioration of its relations with the United States for the first time and suddenly finds himself of his previous status as sankrosante Middle East power that stands above the international law, their seemingly perpetual special 'robbed.

"Our relationship [with Israel] will never be the same again," citing the Turkish newspaper Hüriyet a spokesman for the ruling party. (more ...)
