TokyoXtreme:
Well, now, let's take a look at this shall we? Accenture are the folks taking your fingerprints when you enter Japan. They "back-door" that info to the US DHS et al. This info also gets routed back to their shadow parent company in guess where? Israel, of course. And, no. I'm not demonizing Israel. They don't need my help for that. They can do that ALL by themselves, thank you very much. Tiger Woods is just an interesting goyim distraction to them.
Whack name? Maybe. Idiots? Most definitely not. Dangerous? Absolutely! Feel better now, TokyoXtreme?

Suzu1, I simply said what I saw. Quite by chance I was in both Vancouver BC and Seattle WA when APEC and another globalist event took place. In those instances the police way overreacted, by comparison to Denmark.
These are your words and intent, not mine. Don't go putting words in my mouth. You said this, not me. And I stand by my original statement:
I'm telling you what I saw. You can take it or leave it.

I didn't see Danish Police, at least from where I was standing, apply US style brutality to those detained. Nobody was tasered or beaten silly. No forced kneeling in awkward positions and probably no strip-searching and torturing like during such gatherings in the US. Civilized Vikings!

Iran, as a verifiable NNPT compliant country, which has attacked nobody for centuries, is under zero obligations to satisfy anyone except itself. Apply the same sanctions and unreasonable conditions to Israel, Pakistan, India, France, the UK, the USA and Russia and then talk about rights and privilege. Until then, centrifuges full speed ahead Mr. Armoredinnerjacket! The IAEA laws should apply to everyone or to nobody at all. Talk about ethnocentric racism!

The Norwegians weren't applauding the peace-prize acceptance speech President Obama just gave in Oslo. Wanna know why? The speech in many ways could have been written for, and delivered by, a man they, and the rest of the civilized world, loathe: George W. Bush.
Where's our change? More like shortchanged.

Sounds like an ad for a mix of Viagra and Crystal-Meth. Don't you mean, "We should thank these men for torturing and killing without hesitation, and otherwise destroying the lives of the usually innocent elderly, women and children who think we are wackos without remorse?" It would certainly be more accurate. Check the Pak-Drone body count!
I'm always amazed at how pro-life the aggressors are at home but who don't think twice about slaughtering people far away. One local kid is a tragedy. A million foreigners is a statistic. Merry Christ-Mas to you, Sarge!

Everyone who is 55 years old should be made retire and receive US$1 million in cash. They should be required, out of that money, to buy at least 1 high quality US made fuel efficient car. That by itself would revive the economy overnight. Do the math, and you'll see that it works. It would save quadrillions in stupid warring waste. Check for an idea like this in a Ft.Lauderdale paper in the past year. I can't claim credit. It was a sheer stroke of genius. The other part of this is to bring every single US soldier/sailor/air wo/man home permanently and release all bases overseas forever. Wow! America could be great, peaceful and proud again! Wouldn't THAT be Change We Can Believe IN?

Fressh off the Iranian news pages as we type:
"Russia says it has every intention to complete and launch the Bushehr nuclear reactor in southeastern Iran 'without any further delay'.
In a joint Monday press conference with Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, Russia's Energy Minister Sergei Shmatko said it is in the interest of both Tehran and Moscow to complete the Bushehr power plant as soon as possible.
He refrained from disclosing a specific date for the launch of the project, but said that initial tests at the plant were "quite satisfactory."
With regards to Western criticism over Russia's technical contributions in building the Bushehr plant, Shmatko said the project has become a "symbol of cooperation" between Iran and Russia.
"Nobody will ever dare to hurt that symbol," he explained."
I rest my case, your honor.

Again, it would seem that the unintended consequences of such an attack are, to quote the fearless leader, "misunderestimated."
Israel and America are playing poker. Iran, Russia and China are playing chess.

My, my, how very Texan of you. That's the kind of Rumsfeldian thinking that got the US economy into the mess it's in in the first place. Take a second breath and ask, what happens the day after? Russia is highly invested in Bushehr, and China in Natanz, and both countries in the other plants. Do you think they're just gonna sit back, sip tea and say "Oh, dash it all. bad luck old chap!?"
Red Med and Bad Vlad have already agreed with Hu and Wang that they'll respond in kind to anyone who attacks those plants. War with Russia and China? Thought not. Bullies don't usually pick on the guys who can and will fight back.

The IAEA HAS declared many times that no nuclear material is missing. The inspectors have declared many times that no nuclear material has been redirected. 3% purity for power stations. 20% purity, all imported, for medical use. 98% purity for weapons grade integration is just not feasible with the technology they have, or will likely get their hands on under sanctions. Iran is not the nuclear rogue state in this region. That ominous title goes to Israel, which has no qualms about using it.
...could apply equally to France, Germany, Japan, China, India, Pakistan, the DPRK, the USA or even Brazil at this stage. One could just as easily have said "The possibility that America was led by a phsycopathological maniacal drunk for eight years" and be verifiably more accurate than this. Iran has shown me no reason to feel threatened by its nuclear programme. Until it does, it has my vote in favour.

Given the fact that Elie Wiesel has been proven to be a total fraud, I have very serious doubts about ANY of the accusations made against Demjanjuk, or anyone else either. Time to account for every last one of the so called exterminated by name, and put a stop to this perpetual victimhood for oil. Let science speak, not propaganda. Not denying something happened. But, it's time, once and for all, to quantify it. Real, hard numbers. The ones I believe right now come from the International Committee of the Red Cross, 185,000. Horrific, by any stretch. But 6,000,000 with little evidence to solidly back that up? C'mon, let Demjanjuk go, if nothing else, for lack of solid evidence, or at least compassion, something we're supposed to pride ourselves on.
And,
You know and I know they have the title "MK" and live in Tel-Aviv & Jerusalem.

Funny how SuperLib always gets stuck on the first line of a posting. Iran has been transparent. The IAEA reports have said that. The inspectors have said that and the Iranians themselves have said that.
Read the key problem: Israel's lack of transparency, and they have started a war less than a year ago. America's lack of transparency and they too have started a war less than a year ago (in Pakistan,) on top of the three already ongoing. (Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia.) Didn't hear about that one on Fox, did you?
Iran is threatening NOBODY. And, no, it never threated to wipe Israel off the map. Go and check the Farsi translation.
Now, for the gazillionth time, get your facts straight. Could it possibly be that everything you know about this issue is a lie? Well, it is.

For the gazillionth time: Iran, as a signatory to the NNPT, is perfectly within its rights to develop nuclear energy for power plants.
All inspections by the IAEA have indicated, categorically, that there are no missing nuclear materials in Iran, nor is the nuclear material being enriched to the level necessary for a weapon; only that which is necessary for a power station.
Iran has not started a war in over 200 years.
Israel, which has nuclear weapons (as stated by Olmert to the German media, and confirmed by former US President Jimmy Carter), refuses to sign the NNPT, or have their nuclear sites inspected by the IAEA.
The Symington Amendment in the USA states very clearly that any country developing or owning nuclear bombs cannot receive any US aid, financial or military.
The US has been in violation of that Amendment for years. Israel has nuclear weapons since 1967, but maintains a public posture of "nuclear ambiguity" which the US coyly accepts in order to keep forking over money and military aid.
There is NO Iranian Threat. There IS only an Israeli (and US) threat to the entire planet. Check, "The Samson Option." If they go, they take everyone with them. Feel better to be led by the idiots at CUFI, praying for an accelerated Armageddon.
We have seen that the Iranians have learned the lesson of both Iraq and the DPRK. Those with nukes get left alone. Those without get "liberated."
