The construction of a uranium enrichment facility by Iran outside of Qum, which Tehran notified the International Atomic Energy Agency of days ago, has been seized upon dishonestly by Washington “as a chance to…persuade other countries to support the case for stronger sanctions” against Iran. [1]

One of his first foreign visits as new President took Barack Obama to Ankara for a high-profile meeting with Prime Minister Recep Erdogan and other leading Turkish officials. Obama engaged in classical “horse trading” wheeling and dealing. “I give you support for Turkey’s EU membership; you open the diplomatic door to Armenia,” appears to have been the core of the deal. What other inducements the US President gave in the case of Turkish influence within NATO and such is secondary. Obama’s goal was to break a political deadlock in Turkey to construction of a major gas pipeline to Germany and other EU countries in direct opposition to Russian Gazprom’s South Stream pipeline.

Thierry Meyssan
16th July, 2009
La secrétaire d’État Hillary Clinton s’est publiquement inquiétée de la construction d’une méga-ambassade iranienne au Nicaragua. Sur les plateaux de télévision US, des « experts » ont disserté sur les opérations militaires secrètes que les Gardiens de la Révolution iranienne prépareraient en Amérique latine contre les intérêts états-uniens et israéliens. Mais quelle est la base factuelle de ce tintamarre médiatique ?

“The United States, ironically, appears to be engaging in the concept of permanent revolution, a Marxist idea, but it is now doing so twitter style.”
Philip Giraldi
16th July, 2009
The twitter and text message explosion has changed the face of revolution. Thousands of messages can be sent out in seconds to tell protestors where to gather or what spots to avoid because of heavy police presence. The internet enables the disaffected and politically marginalized to organize and plan. The authorities are clearly worried. One of the first things that the Chinese and Iranian governments did when confronted recently by popular unrest was to limit access to the internet and shut down cell phone transmitters.
