Of significant note here is the fact that enough people were concerned about this that the mainstream press in Charleston felt compelled to respond. This is reflective of the fact that more and more people are turning to the alternative media (and away from the "mainstream" media) for news and information.

Either they felt compelled to respond, or it was just a slow news day. If I were a reporter and needed some filler, I would probably put in a few lines about the small group that's convinced that our city will be nuked as a pretext to invading Iran.

attention =/= credibility

On a side note, I fought off an entire nest of invisible dragons who wanted to destroy Raleigh yesterday. Since they're invisible there aren't any witnesses or evidence. But believe me! I taught the invisible dragons a lesson!

"High-Ranking Military Officer Warns Of Major Terrorist Attack Looming; Cheney Consumed Day And Night With Nuclear Retaliation In Iran August 17, 2005 By Greg Szymanski A high-ranking military officer has come forward saying "a real danger exists" for a large-scale terrorist attack in the coming weeks, adding Vice President Dick Cheney spends his entire day consumed with issues of terrorism and U.S. nuclear retaliation in the Middle East if an attack on American soil occurs. The retired officer, who remains anonymous, claims military factions are battling over how to address the terrorist threat, claiming the Iraq War, the threats being leveled to Iran and Israel's stranglehold on the Palestinians has created instability within U.S. political and military establishments. These reports compound earlier reports made last week by others in the military that Cheney had already ordered Strategic Command (STRATCOM) to prepare a nuclear attack against Iran, a fact verified by Washington insiders, including Lyndon LaRouche, a former democratic nominee for President, who now has taken up the role as a spear-thrower while getting the message out for several senators on Capital Hill not willing for political reasons to go public. Confirming military sources, LaRouche said he also learned this week said that the plan for a nuclear strike against Iran has been in the works longer than thought, actually starting in 2004 after Ariel Sharon and his government made threats "that Israel would take out Iran's nuclear facilities" like it did in Iraq in 1981. "I think under the Bush adminnistration time-frame we are weeks away from an attack on our homeland and also an impending nuclear catastrophe," said LaRouche, an outspoken Bush critic in a telephone conversation from his Vermont political headquarters called Larouche PAC."

"US dismisses Iran nuclear report BBC | August 24 2005 The United States has criticised an independent investigation which found no evidence that Iran was working on a secret nuclear weapons programme. The report said traces of bomb-grade uranium in Iran's nuclear facilities came from contaminated Pakistani equipment, not Iranian activities. But the US said there were other ways Iran could be building nuclear weapons. Iran has always maintained the traces of enriched uranium found two years ago came from contaminated equipment. The BBC's Pam O'Toole in Tehran says Iran will see the report's findings as a vindication of its position. Iran insists its nuclear programme is peaceful and that US pressure over its nuclear programme is part of a wider effort to change the regime in Tehran. However, a State Department spokesman said the report did nothing to reduce their concern at Iran's nuclear programme. He listed a series of what he called "unresolved concerns", which included Iran's alleged dealings with clandestine nuclear procurement networks and the Bush administration's strong belief that the country was developing and pursuing a nuclear weapon. ...The independent report, published on Tuesday by the International Atomic Energy Agency, concluded that traces of uranium found in Iran two years ago came from contaminated equipment imported from Pakistan."

Who cares that there is no evidence they are pursuing nuclear weapons?! That didn't stop us from starting a war against Iraq. We better attack Iran anyway!

"U.S. Evicted From Air Base In Uzbekistan By Robin Wright and Ann Scott Tyson Washington Post Staff Writers Saturday, July 30, 2005; Page A01 Uzbekistan formally evicted the United States yesterday from a military base that has served as a hub for combat and humanitarian missions to Afghanistan since shortly after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Pentagon and State Department officials said yesterday. In a highly unusual move, the notice of eviction from Karshi-Khanabad air base, known as K2, was delivered by a courier from the Uzbek Foreign Ministry to the U.S. Embassy in Tashkent, said a senior U.S. administration official involved in Central Asia policy. The message did not give a reason. Uzbekistan will give the United States 180 days to move aircraft, personnel and equipment, U.S. officials said. If Uzbekistan follows through, as Washington expects, the United States will face several logistical problems for its operations in Afghanistan. Scores of flights have used K2 monthly. It has been a landing base to transfer humanitarian goods that then are taken by road into northern Afghanistan, particularly to Mazar-e Sharif -- with no alternative for a region difficult to reach in the winter. K2 is also a refueling base with a runway long enough for large military aircraft. The alternative is much costlier midair refueling. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld returned this week from Central Asia, where he won assurances from Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan that the United States can use their bases for operations in Afghanistan. U.S. forces use Tajikistan for emergency landings and occasional refueling, but it lacks good roads into Afghanistan. Kyrgyzstan does not border Afghanistan. "We always think ahead. We'll be fine," Rumsfeld said Sunday when asked how the United States would cope with losing the base in Uzbekistan. In May, however, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman called access to the airfield "undeniably critical in supporting our combat operations" and humanitarian deliveries. The United States has paid $15 million to Uzbek authorities for use of the airfield since 2001, he said. Yesterday, Pentagon spokesman Lawrence T. Di Rita said that the U.S. military does not depend on one base in any part of the world. "We'll be able to conduct our operations as we need to, regardless of how this turns out. It's a diplomatic issue at the moment," Di Rita said. The eviction notice came four days before a senior State Department official was to arrive in Tashkent for talks with the government of President Islam Karimov. The relationship has been increasingly tense since bloody protests in the province of Andijan in May, the worst unrest since Uzbekistan gained independence from the Soviet Union. Undersecretary of State R. Nicholas Burns was going to pressure Tashkent to allow an international investigation into the Andijan protests, which human rights groups and three U.S. senators who met with eyewitnesses said killed about 500 people. Burns was also going to warn the government, one of the most authoritarian in the Islamic world, to open up politically -- or risk the kind of upheavals witnessed recently in Ukraine, Georgia and Kyrgyzstan, U.S. officials said. Karimov has balked at an international probe. As U.S. pressure mounted, he cut off U.S. night flights and some cargo flights, forcing Washington to move search-and-rescue operations and some cargo flights to Bagram air base in Afghanistan and Manas air base in Kyrgyzstan. As relations soured, the Bush administration was preparing for a further cutoff, U.S. officials said. The United States was given the notice just hours after 439 Uzbek political refugees were flown out of neighboring Kyrgyzstan -- over Uzbek objections -- by the United Nations. The refugees fled after the May unrest, which Uzbek officials charged was the work of terrorists. The Bush administration had been pressuring Kyrgyzstan not to force the refugees to return to Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan has been widely viewed as an important test for the Bush administration -- and whether the anti-terrorism efforts or promotion of democracy takes priority. "We all knew basically that if we really wanted to keep access to the base, the way to do it was to shut up about democracy and turn a blind eye to the refugees," said the senior official, on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive diplomacy. "We could have saved the base if we had wanted." After the latest setback in relations, the Bush administration is going to "wait for a cooling-off period," the administration official said. "We are assuming they mean it and want us out. We are now not sending someone to Uzbekistan." The next test will be whether to withhold as much as $22 million in aid to Uzbekistan if it does not comply with provisions on political and economic reforms it committed to undertake in a 2002 strategic partnership agreement with Washington. Last year, the administration withheld almost $11 million. U.S. officials expect the Uzbek government will again be ineligible for funds."

"Friday, August 26, 2005 · Last updated 4:34 a.m. PT Uzbek Senate backs U.S. eviction from base By AZIZ NURITOV ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER TASHKENT, Uzbekistan -- The Uzbek Senate on Friday endorsed the government's decision to evict U.S. troops from an airbase that has been an important hub for American military operations in Afghanistan. Uzbekistan's ties with Washington have deteriorated since the Bush administration joined other nations in urging an international investigation into the suppression of a May uprising in the eastern Uzbek city of Andijan. Uzbekistan's president, Islam Karimov, who has ruled the Central Asian nation for 16 years and tolerates no dissent, blamed the violence on Islamic militants. He has rejected the demands for an outside inquiry, and, facing Western criticism, has found a strong support in Russia and China. Both of them are wary about the U.S. military presence in the strategic and resource-rich region. The 93 Senators present at the session voted unanimously to support the July 29 order from Karimov's government giving the United States six months to vacate Karshi-Khanabad, an airbase in the southern Kashkadarya region. No further action is necessary from the lower chamber, as the government-loyal, 100-seat upper chamber has the final say on parliamentary decisions. The vote was not necessary to confirm the government's order. Rather it was seen as an attempt to give that ruling a symbolic show of popular support and legitimize it in the eyes of the international community. "We know that fundamentalist moods arise wherever U.S. bases appear. Enemies of the United States appear wherever there is a U.S. military presence, and we don't want to be caught in-between," Kashkadarya governor Nuritdin Zainiyev said before the vote. The head of the Senate's foreign relations committee and the country's former foreign minister, Sadyk Safayev, said the people of Kashkadarya had demanded the troops leave, alleging they had caused environmental damage. He also questioned the need for the troops in Afghanistan. Uzbekistan issued the demand for the U.S. withdrawal just hours after hundreds of Uzbeks who had fled to Kyrgyzstan after the Andijan uprising were relocated to Romania, a staunch U.S. ally, by the United Nations refugee agency. "If the U.S. is a friendly country ... how could they prevent the return of Uzbek refugees from Kyrgyzstan?" Senator Surayo Abdukhojayeva demanded. The United States and other Western countries harshly criticized Uzbekistan for using force against mostly unarmed civilians in Andijan on May 13. Rights groups said up to 750 people died in the crackdown. The government put the death toll at 187. Zainiyev also complained that Uzbekistan had spent $160 million to maintain the infrastructure of the Karshi-Khanabad base since the arrival of U.S. troops, and the U.S. "didn't pay anything." The base has been an important staging point for U.S. military operations in Afghanistan since the earliest days of the war, which began in October 2001. More recently, the base has been used to move supplies, including humanitarian aid, into northern Afghanistan. It also is a refueling point for transport planes."

"US wants Iran referred to UN after report-diplomat 03 Sep 2005 Source: Reuters By Francois Murphy VIENNA, Sept 3 (Reuters) - The United States wants Iran to be reported to the U.N. Security Council, where it could face sanctions, after a U.N. nuclear watchdog report confirmed Tehran had resumed sensitive atomic work, a senior U.S. diplomat said. The report by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Mohamed ElBaradei, circulated to diplomats on Friday, said after a 2-1/2-year probe, the agency was still not able to say Iran did not have secret nuclear materials or activities. It also said Tehran had resumed uranium conversion, one of several activities suspended under a deal with France, Britain and Germany. The so-called EU3 headed talks with Iran to try to persuade it to abandon technology that could be used to make bombs in exchange for political and economic incentives. "Unless Iran stops its conversion, cooperates with the IAEA and returns to the negotiating table, we strongly agree with the EU3 that the (IAEA) board should report this matter to the U.N. Security Council," the diplomat said on condition of anonymity, confirming Washington's position. Iran, which denies wanting nuclear weapons as suspected by Washington and the European Union, says it has answered almost all of the IAEA's questions and shown its atomic ambitions are limited to harnessing nuclear power to generate electricity. But it angered the EU by resuming uranium conversion last month at a plant in Isfahan -- a move which brought talks between Iran and the EU close to collapse and led EU officials to threaten Security Council referral. The IAEA board of governors unanimously called on Iran on Aug. 11 to reinstate its suspension in full and asked ElBaradei to report on Iran's compliance by Sept. 3. The board meets again on Sept. 19 to discuss how to respond to the report. "In general, the report confirms our concern that Iran is proceeding with a nuclear weapons programme," the senior U.S. diplomat said. "The international community needs to put further pressure on Iran to force it back to the negotiating table." "

"The question is not if they are going to hold that bomb in 2009 or 2010 or 2011, the question is when they will have the full knowledge," Shalom told a meeting of U.S. Jewish community leaders in New York. "According to our people, security and intelligence, they are very, very close. It may be only six months before they will have that full knowledge." The authoritative, independent International Institute for Strategic Studies said this month Tehran is at least five years away from producing enough fissile material for a single bomb, and that 15 years was a more likely time frame."

"White House Warns Iran About Referral By JENNIFER LOVEN The Associated Press Monday, September 26, 2005; 4:35 PM WASHINGTON -- Armed with fresh international backing for bringing Iran before the U.N. Security Council for its nuclear activities, the White House on Monday warned Tehran it has just one chance left to avoid referral for possible economic sanctions. "The world is saying to Iran that it is time to come clean. The world has put Iran on notice," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said. "It is unacceptable the way Iran is behaving." On Saturday, a majority on the 35-nation board of the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog agency approved a resolution that cited Iran for "a long history of concealment and deception" in a nuclear program Tehran insists is only for the peaceful production of nuclear power. The International Atomic Energy Agency resolution found Tehran at odds with its obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty that Iran signed. According to the resolution, Iran's past failings already set it up for consideration by the Security Council _ though there was no immediate referral. Instead, the resolution asked IAEA members to look at the issue again at a future, unspecified meeting. It wasn't the decisive rebuke desired by U.S. officials _ who allege Iran has a secret illicit program to build a nuclear bomb and have long wanted Tehran reviewed by the Security Council and possibly punished with economic sanctions. While India switched its position to support the resolution, U.S. allies Russia, China and South Africa abstained from the vote."

OK, right now in many backrooms of the Pentagon military officers are planning to invade every country in the world. The planning will be extensive, and cover everything; presentations will be made, ideas will be thrown around, and outlines for possible wars will be put together. They are planning alternatives and gauging how effective they would be. But in all likelihood, none of these plans will ever be used.

The United States plans theoretical wars all the time. They do this in case it is necessary. I have read all of those news reports posted here "exposing" the secret planning, but it doesn’t really mean anything. The fact that we have intricate plans to bomb Iran really doesn’t come from recent events. We have had plans for Iran for decades. Just like we have had plans for every other county. It is a good deterrent to attacking us if you know that we can have troops on the ground in your country tomorrow.

Sands | September 30 2005 The United States and its allies must act to stop Iran's nuclear programs -- by force if necessary -- because conventional diplomacy will not work, three senior Israeli lawmakers from across the political spectrum warned yesterday. As a last resort, they said, Israel itself would act unilaterally to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear arms. Iran will not be deterred "by anything short of a threat of force," said Arieh Eldad, a member of Israel's right-wing National Union Party, part of a delegation of Knesset members visiting Washington this week. "They won't be stopped unless they are convinced their programs will be destroyed if they continue," he said. Yuval Steinitz, chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, said the best hope was for the United States and other major powers to make it clear to Iranian leaders now there was "no chance they will ever see the fruits of a nuclear program." "Threats of sanctions and isolation alone will not do it," said Mr. Steinitz. "

"Will Israel Start World War Three?

Last week three senior Israeli lawmakers went public to warn that Israel would act unilaterally to eliminate any perceived Iranian threat. Yosef Lapid, head of the centrist opposition Shinui Party in the Knesset stated, "Threats of sanctions and isolation alone will not do it, we feel we are obliged to warn our friends that Israel should not be pushed into a situation where we see no other solution but to act unilaterally." [...] Despite reports of increasingly strained relations between Russian and Iran, Vladimir Putin has publicly stated that Russia will defend Iran both diplomatically and militarily. The implications of this are obviously deeply concerning. If the situation was to spiral out of control, China, which has recently conducted several wargames with Russia, would step in on the side of Russian and Iran. The US would be obligated to defend Israel and in turn Europe would be obligated to defend the US."

"Edging Towards Disaster with Iran by Mike Whitney [...] The prospect of war breaking out between the United States and Iran is more likely by the day. Still, for the most part, the American public seems strangely unaware of the growing danger. In late September Iran began conducting major military exercises in the southwestern province of Khuzestan, where officials claim that US agents have infiltrated and are carrying out destabilizing activities. Tehran has deployed 100,000 soldiers to the oil-rich region to address the growing unrest and to carry out maneuvers which anticipate a preemptive invasion by the US. These signs of mounting tensions are further amplified by a resolution that was passed by the UN’s nuclear watchdog agency (IAEA) two weeks ago. The agency voted by a slim majority to bring Iran before the UN Security Council for “non-compliance” with its treaty requirements under the terms of the NPT (Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty) The US-backed resolution was pushed through the IAEA to make it appear as though Iran is conducting a secret nuclear weapons program. No evidence of such a program has ever been verified and the agency’s chief, Mohammad Elbaradei, has repeatedly given Iran a clean bill of health on all matters related to its compliance with treaty obligations. The “nuclear weapons” issue is a red herring similar to the WMD ruse prior to the war with Iraq. It provides the US and Israel with some cover of legitimacy for future attacks on Iranian weapons-sites. By disarming Iran, the Bush administration will have eliminated a long-term regional competitor to Israel and will be able to proceed with the neocon master-plan to redraw the map of the Middle East to suit US interests."

"US seeking world domination: Iran's supreme leader TEHRAN, Oct 21 (AFP) Oct 21, 2005 Iran's supreme leader accused the United States Friday of seeking global domination and vowed that his country would not give into demands to abandon its disputed nuclear programme. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also alleged that Washington was stirring Sunni-Shiite violence in Iraq, and criticised Muslim countries who commit the "bad deed" of recognising Israel. "Our main opponent in the nuclear issue is the American government," Khamenei said in a Friday sermon to thousands of worshippers at Tehran University. "The Americans claim Iran is seeking nuclear weapons. We know they are lying and the audience know they are lying too. This hardline war-seeking goverment in the United States is seeking an empire and world domination.""

World domination? US domination of the middle east? That's CLEARLY crazy talk. What's that? PNAC and the Project for a New American Century? Shhhhh! That's just conspiracy theory crap anyway. Forget about that.

"As the 20th century draws to a close, the United States stands as the world's preeminent power.

Does the United States have the resolve to shape a new century favorable to American principles and interests? [...] America has a vital role in maintaining peace and security in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. If we shirk our responsibilities, we invite challenges to our fundamental interests. The history of the 20th century should have taught us that it is important to shape circumstances before crises emerge, and to meet threats before they become dire. The history of this century should have taught us to embrace the cause of American leadership."

Hmmmm. We need to "shape circumstances" in the Middle East and Asia to be favorable to American interests in order for "American global leadership." All of this is for good purposes, of course. It's for "peace" and "security" and good stuff like that. Just like the Iraq war was "for peace" and "for our security." They're not lying. Really. And yes, technically it is American global domination. But don't call it that. Just call it "global leadership." Euphemisms are so handy in cases like this.

Don't try to think for yourself. Just believe the government. Iraq really does have WMDs. And Oswald really was a lone gunman. Really. And don't you forget it.

He hinted that the West might have to resort to force. The Prime Minister said western allies would meet in the next few days to decide how to react after President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad called for Israel to be "wiped off the map". While the initial response is likely to be an intensification of diplomatic pressure, senior British officials did not rule out the possibility that they could resort to force if Iran continued on its path of radical confrontation."

He believes that the current diplomatic window that would prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear arms is soon to close, even within a few weeks. Gen. Farkash stated that diplomatic moves against a nuclear bomb in Iran were reaching a point of no return in terms of the Iranian nuclear arms race. Farkash added that the Iranians had improved their technique of preparing centrifuges to a very advanced level, which is of some concern to the Israeli defense and diplomatic echelons. Members of the committee expressed their concern due to the western countries’ inability to stem Iran’s race toward nuclear arms."

"Washington suggests sanctions if Iran nuclear talks remain stalled WASHINGTON (AFP) Nov 30, 2005 The United States suggested Wednesday that the international community impose economic or trade sanctions on Iran in case negotiations over Tehran's nuclear program fail to restart. "It might be time to consider a different approach toward the new, more radical, more intolerant Iranian regime," said Nicholas Burns, undersecretary for political affairs at the Department of State. "Through its diplomatic contacts and its trade and investment, the world does have leverage -- and that leverage should be used constructively now -- to convince the hard-liners in Tehran that there is a price for their misguided policies," Burns said at Johns Hopkins University in Washington."

Iran has an "intolerant" and "radical" regime? Well, pardon me, but it seems that it is Iran's opponents (ie, Israel and the Neocons) who are "intolerant" and "radical" here, pressing like raving lunatics to have Iran sanctioned or attacked for its nuclear power program.

"

U.S. bypassing the UN. Hmmmmm. Doesn't that sound familiar? Iraq maybe?

By the way, the U.S. "go it alone" strategy (eg, with the war in Iraq) is by design. That way, when the whole thing turns out to be a fiasco, the United States is portrayed as the "evil empire" around the world, and the United Nations can come in as the "saviors" (who didn't sanction the initial fiasco) and "fix things up" (eg, by sending in UN peacekeeping forces, etc.). This prepares the world for accepting increasing globalism, and ultimately global government.

"Israel warns diplomacy on Iran nuclear work will fail TEL AVIV, Dec 4 (AFP) Dec 04, 2005 Israel's army chief Dan Halutz predicted Sunday that diplomatic efforts on arch enemy Iran's controversial nuclear programme would fail but suggested a military strike was not yet on the cards. "I believe that the political means that are being used by the Europeans and the Americans to convince the Iranians to stop will not end in stopping them," Halutz told reporters. "The Iranians are determined to get a nuclear capability. From Israel's viewpoint such a situation is unacceptable... We should be prepared for the worst scenario." But referring to the possibility of a pre-emptive strike against Iran, Halutz said: "Alternatives (to diplomacy) are not being considered yet.""

Not "YET." But it will be "unacceptable" for Iran to have a nuclear power plant (I mean "nuclear weapons"). And if diplomacy fails, what is left? I guess that means that the Zionists will need to get the United States to do their dirty work and attack Iran, just like the Iraq fiasco. Mmmmmm. How wonderful. And when we later discover that Iran had no nuclear weapons program, will it again be that we're "spreading freedom and democracy" (only to Iran)? Or will the justifcation be that since we invaded Iran, those who are resisting the invasion are clearly "terrorists with al-Qaeda." You see, anyone who resists a U.S. invasion of their country is obviously an "al-Qaeda terrorist."
