Permalink Israel better forget about attacking Iran

Israeli Ynet admitted today that an Israeli air force attack on Iran is unrealistic. - The Israeli paper quoted a New York Times article that described such an attack as ‘highly complex operation’. It would require at least 100 planes. Israeli jets would have to refuel in the air en route, fight off Iran’s air defenses and attack multiple underground sites simultaneously. American military experts seem to agree amongst themselves that Israel doesn’t necessarily has the means to accomplish such an operation.

Permalink US Gen. Dempsey: Iran rational actor, not after nukes

A top US military official has described Iran as a rational actor in the international arena, stating that the Islamic Republic is not after producing nuclear weapons. - Speaking in a nationally televised interview with the CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS” show on Sunday, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey said, “We are of the opinion that Iran is a rational actor.” Dempsey pointed out that US officials aren't convinced Iran has decided to build atomic armaments. “We also know, or we believe we know that Iran has not decided to make a nuclear weapon,” General Dempsey said.


Permalink Israeli doctors conceal torture incidents in Israeli jails

The Oslo-based European Network to support the rights of Palestinian Prisoners-UFree said many Israeli doctors covered up torture incidents that happened to Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. - According to a report by UFree based on testimonies from prisoners, the doctors inside Israeli jails did not report about injuries and bruises inflicted on prisoners by Israeli interrogators and instead they wrote false medical reports in order to expose the detainees to more torture sessions. The report also said the Israeli courts deliberately approve confessions which are taken under torture and abuse and use them as evidence against Palestinian detainees. These courts also accept secret intelligence files of alleged charges against detainees and deny their lawyers access to them and prevent them from defending their clients.


Permalink Anti-Iran MKO behind Bangkok blasts: Thai cleric

Thailand’s Shia leader Syedsulaiman Husaini says the suspects detained by Thai authorities with the alleged Iranian passports are members of the terrorist anti-Iran Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO).

Husaini said on Sunday that the attack was orchestrated by the MKO with the aim of tarnishing Iran’s reputation. The cleric added that Bangkok and Teheran enjoy good bilateral relations.

Iran Interlink: When the News Media Erases US-Israeli Terrorism - Today it was revealed that Israel has been funding, arming, and training the Mujahedeen e-Khalq (MEK), designated a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department, to conduct terrorist attacks killing Iranian nuclear scientists. Anonymous U.S. officials confirmed to NBC News that allegations of this Israeli-MEK connection are accurate. This is a story of national and international significance and, while it was published by NBC, it has been completely absent from the mainstream media. The U.S. has supported terrorism (and conducted its own state terrorism) innumerable times in the past without appropriate coverage in the news media.

Permalink Rothschild Loses Libel Suit In 'Puppet-Master' Regulatory Scandal

A London judge has ruled against a billionaire member of the Rothschild banking family who sought huge damages because a newspaper reported he was the "puppet-master" of a leading European Union (EU) leader. Reports of their relationship created a scandal in the UK by illustrating the tight ties between globe-trotting billionaires and the regulator. In a ruling of global importance to preserve the slender media scrutiny of the powerful that exists today, the judge rejected Nathaniel "Nat" Rothschild’s $1.5 million pound lawsuit. Rochschild claimed the Daily Mail libeled him by reporting on his 2005 trip to Russia with two rich business partners and then-EU Trade Minister Peter Mandelson.


Permalink UK government to demand access to all phone and internet user data

The British government is in the process of developing a scheme whereby all phone companies and broadband internet providers will be required to store customer transaction data for a year and hand it over to security services upon request. - The databases would also include Facebook communications, Twitter posts — including direct messages between subscribers — and even communications between players in online video games. The information to be stored would [allegedly] not include the content of calls or emails but would consist of phone numbers and email addresses. These would would who was communicating with whom on what occasions and could also make it easy for police to track the movements of cellphone and computer users. The Open Rights Group has an anti-CCDP petition at its website, which describes the plan as “pointless,” “expensive,” and “illegal” and expresses the intention of forming a mass movement to oppose it.


Permalink Another whistleblower comes forward on failure of U.S. campaign in Afghanistan - Video

Another whistleblower emerges from the US military as retired Lt. Colonel Daniel Davis accused US military leaders of painting a distorted picture of Afghanistan. - Press TV has interviewed Wayne Madsen, investigative journalist in Washington about the accusations of lies fed to the American public. He discusses startling revelations about the drug lords in Afghanistan and their relationship to President Karzai and the US Special Forces and US marines. What follows is an approximate transcript of the interview.

Press TV: With all this being said, what future do you seen with the US presence in Afghanistan? How will it end do you think?
Madsen: I think we know from history that Afghanistan has been the graveyard of the empires: Alexander the Great; certainly the British were defeated there; the Russians were defeated there; and it’s not going to have a very good outcome for the US. But in the short term, with all this war talk about a war with Iran, you can be assured that the US military presence in Afghanistan will remain in the short term because this is part of a strategy to encircle Iran. So, in the short term US troops will continue to die in Afghanistan and Colonel David, what he has to say, will be proven unfortunately very very correct.
