In a new op-ed, Bilderberg luminary Henry Kissinger admits that U.S. hostility against Iran is not about the threat of nuclear proliferation, but as part of a larger agenda to seize Iranian oil supplies. But the true meaning behind this is lost on Neo-Cons, who are still deluded into thinking that Americans benefit from the imperial looting of natural resources in the middle east.

In a Washington Post op-ed, Former US Secretary of State Kissinger comes clean on the true motives behind the planned military assault on Iran.

Greenspan's Open Secret

So, the secret is finally out. The Iraq war and occupation is about oil! Alan Greenspan, the man on whom the capitalist press has conferred the title of sage numerous times, says exactly that in his memoirs released this week. Of course, many folks around the world have assumed this for years but, even so, it's nice to hear it from one of Washington's own. It was the concern of those that pull the strings on Wall Street and in DC that Saddam Hussein represented a severe threat to their access to oil that prompted the war. According to George Bush and his henchmen, it is the concern that anti-US "extremists" also threaten that access that causes the war and occupation to continue. Of course, these so-called extremists seemed to be primarily composed of Iraqi nationalists who simply want to control their own destinies and not leave them up to a small handful of men with offices in the Green Zone whose lives and livelihood depend on the continued presence of US forces on Iraqi soil.

'Oil and other energy resources are also the reason Washington is threatening Iran. There are other factors certainly, not least among them a desire for revenge on the Iranian revolution, but the fundamental motivation for the US threats of military action against Iran is to replace the current regime in Tehran with one that will do Washington's bidding and provide them with access to that nation's oil on terms set by DC, not Tehran. That is why the US overthrew Mossadegh back in 1953 and why it supported the Shah even after he was overthrown in 1979. Iran is estimated to have the world's fifth largest oil reserve and second largest natural gas supply. But, if this is so, then why can't the US just buy the stuff from them? It could, of course, but that would go against the stated desire of Washington to not only have unfettered access to energy resources, but to also be able to prevent potential competitors from having similar access. In other words, the men and women that run the US want exclusive control over the energy resources of Iraq and Iran and the only way they can get that is through military action, since Hussein was not going to agree to US terms for oil sales and neither will the Tehran regime.'

The Fallout from the Iran Nukes Report

By Tony Karon

Anyone following the Iran nuclear issue via the presidential debates might have been shocked to learn Monday that the U.S. intelligence community now believes that Iran stopped its nuclear weapons program four years ago, and is unlikely to have restarted it.

The latest U.S. National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iran, which expresses the consensus of the 16 branches of the intelligence community, is sharply at odds with most of the candidates' (and the White House's) notion that Iran is rushing to build nuclear weapons, and even contradicts a 2005 NIE finding that Iran was working inexorably toward developing a bomb. It says its finding that Iran suspended its bomb program in 2003 in response to foreign pressure "suggests it is less determined to build nuclear weapons than we have been judging since 2005."

What Kissinger said was:

"Whatever their publicized angst over Saddam Hussein's 'weapons of mass destruction,' American and British authorities were also concerned about violence in the area that harbors a resource indispensable for the functioning of the world economy. I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil." [emphasis added]

In other words, one of the main concerns of the US and Great Britain is the potential for violence (Sadaam's Iraq, Iran, Syria) in an area (the entire mid east) that harbors oil, which is vital to the world economy. He did not say that this was the only reason. In his personal opinion (possibly to showboat, to be controversial, or to sell books) oil was the main, or at least a large, reason. He does not know that. He is no longer a resident of the inner circles of government. And, yes, oil could help tip the balance toward war, especially if there were WMD in Iraq. It was Sadaam who tried so hard to convince the world that he had WMD because he was deathly afraid of his neoghbor, Iran. Sadaam kept up the illusion to dissuade Iran from attacking him again. Sadaam was a victim of his own fears.

I wonder, too, how many will die if there is a major disruption of oil supplies in the middle east due to internal warfare? Could the world be plunged into a terrible economic disaster that will claim the lives of countless people? Is that something our government should try to avert? Is that something in and of itself that could justify a war? Is that a case of self-defense? I'm just asking. But don't be too quick to judge your government.

Despite Knowledge That Iran Halted Nuke Program,
White House Continued To Warn Of False Threat



The National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) released today concludes that “in fall 2003,
Tehran halted its nuclear weapons program.” It adds that “Tehran had not restarted its
nuclear weapons program as of mid-2007,” and the country is “less determined to
develop nuclear weapons than we have been judging since 2005.”

The assessment, which relies on data collected through Oct. 31, was reportedly completed in 2006,
but was blocked by administration officials who wanted it to be more in line with Vice President Cheney’s
hardline views.

Masked illuminati are whipping him as we speak for making that slip in his op-ed remarks.
