As Iran Is Loading Fuel In Its First Nuclear Power Plant, Israel Warns Reactor Use "Totally Unacceptable"
As has been widely anticipated, Iran is currently in the last stages of preparation before pushing the On button for its brand, spanking new (and 20 years in the making) nuclear power plant. As Reuters reports: "Television showed live pictures of Iran's nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi and his Russian counterpart watching a fuel rod assembly being prepared for insertion into the reactor near the Gulf city of Bushehr." Yet despite Russia's guarantee that it would collect spent rods that could be used to make weapons-grade plutonium, Israel is not taking this development lightly at all, and as Jerusalem Post reported earlier, warned that "It is totally unacceptable that a country that blatantly violates
decisions of the United Nations Security Council and the International
Atomic Energy Agency, and ignores its commitment to the
Non-Proliferation Treaty charter, will enjoy the fruits of using nuclear
energy," according to Foreign Ministry spokesman Yossi Levy said. Which in turn has prompted Ahmadinejad to warn that a strike on Iran would be answered with "harsh and painful" response. All in all, just another Saturday in the middle east.
Yet that's not all, as Iran now seems intent on seeing how far the already frayed nerves in the region can stretch (and recall that recently Gulf states announced that the military option may be the best strategy for the region).
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad chose Saturday to tell a meeting of university professors of plans to shoot satellites to altitudes of 700 km, then 1,000 km -- certain to add to Western concerns about Iran's development of missile technology.
"Once this target is realized, placing a satellite at a geosynchronous orbit of 35,000 km will be easy," he was quoted as saying by ISNA news agency. "This will be done within the next two or three years."
Long-range ballistic technology used to put satellites into orbit can also be used to launch warheads.
Iran launched a domestically made satellite in 2009, but only to an altitude of 250 km. Washington called that a "provocative act."
As for the whole reactor situation, even with ever increasing jawboning, Israel was very careful not to provoke or incite Russia:
The Foreign Ministry was pointedly making no reference to the Russian involvement in the reactor, an apparent effort not to say anything that could in any way complicate Israel's relations with Moscow.
The US State Department said Saturday that they do not consider Iran's Bushehr nuclear power facility a proliferation risk, AFP reported.
“We recognize that the Bushehr reactor is designed to provide civilian nuclear power and do not view it as a proliferation risk,” State Department spokesman Darby Holladay told AFP on Saturday.
Yet just in case there is escalation, Iran made its feeling known that WWIII would follow promptly any incursion, which he nonetheless did not expect to occur.
As the opening of the Bushehr plant took place on Saturday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told Qatari newspaper Al-Shark that if the Islamic Republic's nuclear facilities were attacked, the response from Teheran would be "worldwide" in its scope.
"Our possibilities would be limitless and would encompass the whole world," said Ahmadinejad.
Ahmadinejad discussed Israel, stating that the Jewish state would like to attack Iran but understands that the Islamic Republic is a "fortress that cannot be destroyed" and that the Iranian response to such an attack would be "harsh and painful."
"I don't believe their American masters would let them attack," Ahamadinejad added on Israel.
The weeklong operation to load uranium fuel into the reactor at the Bushehr power plant is the first step in starting up a facility the US once hoped to prevent because of fears over Teheran's nuclear ambitions.
In other words, the world is suddenly back to relying on the rationality of two people both in possession of launch codes, and a hope that both are familiar with the M.A.D. doctrine. In other words, stability rules. Surely, this is precisely the environment for stocks to surge to 36,000 on 3-4 shares traded, as the New York Fed "prices in" global thermonuclear warfare. Absent fireballs sprouting everywhere tomorrow, the likelihood of the delayed POMO reaction on Monday to send stocks well above the 50 DMA is suddenly all too real.

The issues we’re discussing here are not just historical differences. We’re not only talking about the butchery of innocent women, children and men in a war on behalf of Israel, but the immediate prospect for killing additional innocent people. This is the question of our time and it needs to be settled beyond pretending the superiority of a race.
David R. Francis, United States ambassador in Russia, warned in a January 1918 in a dispatch to Washington:
“The Bolsheviks leaders here, most of whom are Jews and 90 percent of whom are returned exiles, care little for Russia or of any other country but are internationalists and they are trying to start a worldwide social revolution.”
The Netherlands’ ambassador in Russia, Oudendyke, made much the same point a few months later:
“Unless Bolshevism is nipped in the bud immediately, it is bound to spread in one form or another over Europe and the whole world as it is organized and worked by Jews who have no nationality, and whose one object is to destroy for their own ends the existing order of things.” –Foreign Relations of the United States – 1919 – Russia, Vol. 1, pp. 678-679.
The mass murder of the Russian Tsar and his family presaged the Communist mass slaughter that claimed so many Russian lives. It is symbolic of the Communist effort to kill Russia itself. Nicolas and his family were Christians; they were murdered by the Bolshevik rulers who lacked genuine popular support and rightly feared the Russian people would never approve the mass killing.
The tragic murder of the Romanov family has become a symbol of the tragic fate that awaited Russia and, now perhaps, the entire West. Or world.
Jesus said in Revelations 2:9: “I know the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a Synagogue of Satan.” And in Revelations 3:8: “I will make those who are of the Synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.”
Christianity with its message of brotherly love and peace is Communism’s greatest enemy.
BTW, Francis, it’s customary procedure when answering a post to address the answer to the person's post rather that pulling the person’s name out of line to make your argument without making his argument present. It is obviously unfair, because if mine were here it would show the predominance of what this argument is about, and that it can’t be argued away. But since you’ve done it, I’m forced to belabor the readers by reprinting my argument to protect the material that you allege to answer:
If you are suggesting that Dr. Ruth, now a “historian” and the modern face of Zionism, is not the final expression of negative Jewish impact on civilization…you would be spectacularly correct. If I am anything, I am accommodating. So I’ll just add a little more here. Thanks for asking.
Let’s begin with the Bolsheviks.
“The Bolshevik Revolution,” said a leading American Jewish community newspaper in 1920,” was largely the product of Jewish thinking, Jewish discontent, Jewish effort to reconstruct.
Winston Churchill, pointing to the crucial role played by the Jews in Bolshevism in an essay published in the February 8, 1920, issue of the London Illustrated Sunday Herald, warned, Bolshevism is a “worldwide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilization and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality… There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creation of Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian Revolution by these international and for the most part atheistical Jews… With the notable exception of Lenin, the majority of the leading figures are Jews….”
A public opinion poll conducted in 1990 found that three out of four Soviet citizens surveyed regarded the killing of the Tsar and the family as a despicable crime. – The Nation, June 24, 1991, p. 838
One isn’t supposed to say it, but America sealed her fate when under the Clinton Administration “the White House, the Senate, and much of the American media” (and now the Legislature and ambassadorships and soon to be the U.S. Supreme Court) as the Israelis put it, is “in our hands.”
This statement came from Israeli columnist Ari Shavit in an article reprinted from the Israel newspaper Haaretz in the May 27, 1996 issue of the New York Times while reflecting sorrowfully on the wanton Israeli killing of more than 100 Lebanese civilians that April . Bill Clinton, “the lover of peace,” had raised no protest when the Israelis drove 400,000 innocent Lebanese out of their homes in “retaliation” for rockets launched into Israel, wounding one Israeli.
It is no surprise that Mr. Copley, in this chilling bellwether presage of the fate that is engulfing America, equates the damage done in the U.S. by the Obama and his Jewish-occupied Adminstration to that of the damage done by the 1917 Russian Revolution.
For Bolshevism is largely a Jewish product.
Summing up the situation at the time, Israeli historian Louis Rapoport wrote:
Immediately after the Revolution, many Jews were euphoric over their high representation in the new government. Lenin’s first Politburo was dominated by men of Jewish origins..
Under Lenin, Jews became involved in all aspects of the Revolution, including its dirtiest work. Despite the Communists’ vows to eradicate anti-Semitism, it spread rapidly after the Revolution—partly because of the prominence of so many Jews in the Soviet administration, as well as in the traumatic, inhumane Sovietization drives that followed. Historian Salo Baron has noted that an immensely disproportionate number of Jews joined the new Bolshevik secret police, the Cheka… and many of those who fell afoul of the Cheka would be shot by Jewish investigators.
The collective leadership that emerged in Lenin’s dying days was headed by the Jew Zinoviev, a loquacious, mean-spirted, curly-haired Adonis whose vanity knew no bounds.”
Robert Wilton, correspondent of the London Times in Russia for 17 years, in his foreword to Les Derniers Jours des Romanoffs, listed the members of the [Bolshevik Party’s] Central Committee, of the Extraordinary Commission [Cheka or secret police], and of the Council of Commissars functioning at the time of the assassination of the Imperial family.
“The 62 members of the [Central] Committee were composed of five Russians, one Ukrainian, six Letts [Latvians], two Germans, one Czech, two Armenians, three Georgians, one Karaim [Karaite] (a Jewish sect), and 41 Jews.
“The Extraordinary Commission [Cheka or Vecheka] of Moscow was composed of 36 members, including one German, one Pole, one Armenian, two Russians, eight Latvians, and 23 Jews.
“The Council of the People’s Commissar [the Soviet government] numbered two Armenians, three Russians, and 17 Jews.
“According to data furnished by the Soviet press, out of 556 important functionaries of the Bolshevik state, including the above-mentioned, in 1918-1919 there were: 17 Russians, two Ukrainians, eleven Armenians, 35 Letts [Latvians], 15 Germans, one Hungarian, ten Georgians, three Poles, three Finns, one Czech, one Karaim, and 457 Jews…”
Effective governmental power, Wilton continued, is in the Central Committee of the Bolshevik party. In 1918, he reported, this body had twelve members, of whom nine were of Jewish origin—Bronstein (Trotsky), Apfelbaum (Zinoviev), Lurie (Larine, Uritsky, Volodarski, Rosenfeld (Kamenev), Smidovich, Sverdlov (Yankel), and Nakhamkes (Steklov). The three Russians were Ulyanov (Lenin), Krylenko, and Lunacharshy.
Said Wilton, “The other Russian Socialist parties are similar in composition,” and he gives the composition...
I-hole:
Why don't you voice your argument?
I am waiting.
Go fight Iran yourself, francis. Let Israel fight their own battles at their own expense.
There is no debate, asshole. I'm not paying for it any longer as it's all founded on lies. YOU pay for it, YOU fight. What's so hard to understand?
Put up, or shut up.
JR: In order to respond, please tell me how citing documents from a century ago will help more people from being killed. I believe you are sincere. But it seems that we need to bring it a little closer to the present.
To reiterate, whatever evidence you may present of Jewish participation in a long past event, it does not touch the thesis I am presenting.
If it did, we would be stuck in the same conundrum I have witnessed here and many other places, of disputants hammering each other with LONG recitations of remote events of little or no value the purpose.
That purpose should be, if I may, the recognition of Israel's right to exist. From that agreement, peace may flow. But it is the intransigence of the Arabs (not all) and Iranians and others that will not recognize Israel that prevents peace. This is the obstacle to peace, not some historical event from long ago. If it were, I could, I assure you make a stack higher than you. But nothing would be accomplished.
Let's focus on the central issue, recognition of Israel as a nation. That is the first step to peace in the Middle East.
Only with the recognition of the State of Israel by all parties can an equal dialog occur. Israel is a willing party. Time to recognize reality.
Israel is a nation, you dope. A terrorist little problem nation in the world. Go fight yourself and pay for it since you care so much.
Quit working so hard to get others involved. We don't need an "ally" like Israel, and real Americans get NOTHING from the relationship.
I recognize Israel, so will you go home now?
OK, I-hole. Your minds made up, I get it. Just hoped you were here to convince others. Like me.
I-hole:
Israel provides us with some of the most sensitive human intelligence we have on the Middle
East. Israeli scientists have invented or enhanced many of our weapons systems. Israel is a genuine democracy. Israel isn't asking for our troops, but if the murderous dentist in Damascus, the viper Nasrullah, the human-shield carrying Hamas or the Mahdist totalitarian decide to destroy her I am confident that they will be finished once and for all and I pray the US has one of its very large hands in it up to the elbow.
And it's not your money that will pay for it, it's China's. That money will never be paid back. You should know that. You are fond of citing external sources, go find the facts.
If you already know'em, then it's just Israel herself you despise. Big surprise with a moniker like yours.
I will pray for you.
"Only the dead have seen the end of war."
