Re: Israel Blames Iran for Attacks in India and Georgia

Iran's going to carry out attacks in India and Georgia to gain what exactly?And of course, Israel conducted a thorough investigation so quickly,from afar,before assigning blame for the attacks,sure.
Meanwhile in realpolitikal news,March 20th may be a date to make note of:

Last week, the Tehran Times noted that the Iranian oil bourse will start trading oil in currencies other than the dollar from March 20. This long-planned move is part of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad?s vision of economic war with the west.

?The dispute over Iran?s nuclear programme is nothing more than a convenient excuse for the US to use threats to protect the ?reserve currency? status of the dollar,? the newspaper, which calls itself the voice of the Islamic Revolution, said.

?Recall that Saddam [Hussein] announced Iraq would no longer accept dollars for oil purchases in November 2000 and the US-Anglo invasion occurred in March 2003,? the Times continued. ?Similarly, Iran opened its oil bourse in 2008, so it is a credit to Iranian negotiating ability that the ?crisis? has not come to a head long before now.?

Iran has the third-largest oil reserves in the world and pricing oil in currencies other than dollars is a provocative move aimed at Washington. If Iran switches to the non-dollar terms for its oil payments, there could be a new oil price that would be denominated in euro, yen or even the yuan or rupee.

The U.S.has enjoyed artificially low prices at the pump for decades due to the dollar being used as the worlds reserve currency.If dollars are no longer used exclusively for most energy transactions,there'll be too many dollars chasing too few available resources[add "Peak Oil" to the mix],and prices for everything will adjust accordingly.

By creating the petrodollar paradigm, the US economy soared, as all countries of the world were required to amass US currency to purchase oil from OPEC nations. Sales of T-bills, securities and US bonds soared. US coffers fattened. With the US dollar as the world?s oil currency reserve, economic fortune favored the US. But with great reward comes great risk. While other countries exchanged their currency for the dollar, (forfeiting value in the process) the US simply printed more money to match their needs and purchase their oil ? essentially for free. The best example is that while gasoline in the US cost $3.00 per gallon, in Europe that same gallon costs $6.00 or more.

Herein lies the danger. If Iran is successful in its bid to set up their own bourse, or oil exchange, then what need does the world have for all those US dollars? The answer is none at all. As Iran creating gold and sovereign currency partnerships with India, China, South Korea and Russia, the hegemony of the petrodollar will be destroyed.

The resulting sell-off of US dollars, T-bills, securities, bonds and assets will flood the already swollen world economy with even more useless dollars, ultimately devaluing it into a position where hyper-inflation becomes a risk.

So, while the US government sabre-rattles and prattles on and on about nuclear weapons and the threat Iran poses to the Middle East, the thin veneer of lies spouted by the elite controlled media is being stripped away, revealing the truth of their warmongering rhetoric.

The US, by their foolish insistence on enforcing embargoes and sanctions against Iran, is hastening the end of the petrodollar and ushering in the age of US dollar hyper-inflation. A practical example: One loaf of bread in a healthy economy is $1.00. In an inflationary economy it?s $1.75. In a hyper-inflationary economy, $500.00.

Bullies may be large and dangerous, but rarely are they intelligent.

Obvious,sensible questions raised by writer Naqvi,the multiple attacks smell like "false flag" incidents:
February 16, 2012
That Bomb in Delhi
by JAWED NAQVI

....after a suspected magnet bomb exploded at the back of an Israeli embassy car in Delhi, injuring a diplomat?s wife.

Terror, Hezbollah, Iranian extremists ? whatever the Israeli government?s compulsions to say of the incident, much of the Indian media largely projected as fact. Hillary Clinton ad libbed it even more loudly. Iran?s denial was buried in the inside pages of most newspapers, if it was carried at all.

No one had the time or the inclination, Portia would have noticed, to explain or ask when or how the villains switched over from Lashkar-i-Taiba, Al Qaeda and others that had been quoted all these days as threatening Jewish targets in India.

How did Israel?s Prime Minister Netanyahu home in on Iran within minutes of the incident? Did he know something ahead of the event, in which case had Delhi been informed about Israel?s apprehensions about an attack?

I have yet to see a fair TV discussion, for that matter, about the modus operandi of the attack, involving a magnet bomb allegedly planted by a motorcycle rider. How was it different from the method used to kill a clutch of Iranian scientists in recent incidents, someone might have asked?

If it was not too dissimilar in the method should we be asking the more serious question ? about a likely agent provocateur who might wish to corner public opinion in India ahead of an Iran-Israel military showdown, for example?

Still buying the initial story as reported by the U.S. corporate media?More counterspin:
Iran Seems an Unlikely Culprit for the Attacks on Israeli Diplomats
Tehran has good relations with Thailand, India and Georgia. Why would it endanger that by planting bombs there?

By Arshin Adib-Moghaddam

February 15, 2012 "The Guardian" - - Let's assume that sections of the military and security apparatus in Iran are responsible for the string of bombings in Georgia, Thailand and India. What would be the motive? The argument that Iran is retaliating for the murder of five civilian nuclear scientists in Iran is not plausible. If Iran wanted to target Israeli interests, it has other means at its disposal. It is hard to imagine that the Iranian government would send Iranian operatives to friendly countries, completely equipped with Iranian money and passports ? making the case against them as obvious as possible.

If the Iranian Revolutionary Guards are as professional, highly trained and politically savvy as we have been told repeatedly by Israeli politicians themselves, if they have successfully trained and equipped the cadres of Hezbollah and other movements with paramilitary wings in the region, then why would they launch such a clumsy and self-defeating operation?
