Update on the Planned Wars Against Syria and Iran

Agence France-Presse reports [12]:

Syria’s president decreed a vote this month on a new
constitution that would effectively end nearly 50 years of single party
rule, state media said, as troops reportedly stormed centres of dissent.

Bashar al-Assad called the ballot for February 26, in a move clearly
aimed at placating growing global outrage over the bloodshed.

Under the newly proposed charter, freedom is “a sacred right” and
“the people will govern the people” in a multi-party democratic system,
state television said.

The new constitution also … prohibits parties based on religion.

Assad, who in April lifted a state of emergency in force since 1963,
when his Baath Party took power, has made repeated promises of reforms
that have failed to materialise since a popular uprising erupted on
March 15.

The embattled president, who succeeded his late father Hafez in 2000,
has said the constitution would usher in a “new era” for Syria, SANA
state news agency reported.

This is what the U.S. and its allies have said that they want.

But – given that the U.S. government has been consistently planning regime change in Syria for 20 years [13] (and dreamed of regime change for 50 years [14]), and that the U.S., Britain, Qatar and other countries have already started a covert war [15] in Syria – it is uncertain whether democratic elections and a new constitution can avoid a Syrian war involving the West.

Car bomb attacks which occurred this week in India, Georgia [17] and Thailand [18] are being blamed on Iran [19] by the U.S., Israel and their allies.

If Iran, in fact, carried out the attacks, it will provide a justification for war against Iran.

But did Iran actually carry out the attacks?

Let’s put aside for a moment the fact that the U.S. and Israel support the terrorists which have assassinated several Iranian scientists [20] (and see this [21]).

And put aside for a moment the following facts:

• The CIA admits [22]
  that it hired Iranians in the 1950?s to pose as Communists and stage
  bombings in Iran in order to turn the country against its
  democratically-elected prime minister

• American [23] and Israeli [24] officials admit that they have repeatedly carried out terrorism and then blamed it on Arabs (and see this [14])

• Former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski told the Senate that a terrorist act might be carried out in the U.S. and falsely blamed on Iran to justify war against that nation [25].
  

• Daniel Ellsberg, the famous Pentagon Papers whistleblower, said “if there is another terror attack, “I believe the president will get what he wants” [26], which includes war with Iran

• Scott Ritter, the
  former UN Weapons Inspector (an American) – who stated before the Iraq
  war started that there were no weapons of mass destruction – is now
  saying that he would not rule out staged government terror by the U.S. government [27] to justify war against Iran

• Ron Paul has warned [28] of a “Gulf of Tonkin type incident” in Iran

• Pulitzer-prize winning investigative reporter Seymour Hersh says many ideas have been proposed for provoking a war, including building boats that look like Iranian boats, and then putting Navy Seals on them to “start a shoot-up” [29]

• A former member of the British Parliament stated that “there
  is a very real danger” that the American government will stage a false
  flag terror attack in order to justify war against Iran [30]

• Ed Asner says [31]
  that members of the elite Navy Seal team told him that the U.S. would
  carry out a false flag attack and blame it on Iran to kick-start the war

• The U.S. planned regime change in Iran 20 years ago [32]

• The war against Iran has already begun. See this [33], this [34] and this [35]

India has become one of Iran’s most important trading partners, and has been increasing its ties to Iran since sanctions have been imposed by the West. Indeed, India has agreed to pay for Iranian oil with gold. See this [36], this [37] , this [38] and this [39].

Why would Iran carry out a terror attack on one of its most important
trading partners … one which has agreed to help help Iran escape from
sanctions?

As Finnian Cunninham writes [40]:

What would Iran gain from such action, only grief and trouble?

 

This is especially true with regard to India and Thailand. Both Asian
countries have become major trading partners with Tehran in recent
years. India, along with China, is Iran’s biggest customer for its vital
oil industry.

 

Thailand is of growing importance as a trading partner with Iran for
oil, mining, heavy industry, services, technology and agriculture
especially after both countries set up a joint business council five
years ago.

 

For Iran to carry out such attacks, as is being claimed, would be
like shooting itself in the foot, particularly because both Asian
countries have refused to join in the US-led campaign to isolate Iran
economically and diplomatically.

 

Put the other way round, it is much more in the interest of
Washington and Israel to destabilize relations between Iran and its
Asian partners. The repercussions from the blasts in India would appear
to be having that desired effect.

 

Take this Reuters reports: Up to now India has not gone along with
new financial sanctions imposed by the United States and European Union
to punish Iran over its disputed nuclear programme. Instead, New Delhi
has come up with elaborate trade and barter arrangements to pay for oil
supplies. However, the president of the All India Rice Exporters’
Association said Monday’s attack on the wife of an Israeli diplomat in
the Indian capital will damage trade with Iran and may complicate
efforts to resolve an impasse over Iranian defaults on payments for rice
imports worth around $150 million. “The attack and its political
fallout have clearly vitiated the atmosphere. Traders who were already
losing money due to payment defaults will be extremely wary of
continuing their trade with buyers in Iran,” Vijay Setia told Reuters.

 

So add it up. Bomb teams with proven US/Israeli assassination
expertise and methodology; target countries that are major Iranian
partners; desired effect of further isolating Iran internationally; and,
to cap it all, a long sought-after pretext for Israel to attack Iran
with America’s blessing.

 

When logic and facts coincide like this, it’s usually more prudent to engage in reason than to indulge in lurid claims.
