U.S. endorsed Iranian plans to build massive nuclear energy industry

Cheney Rumsfeld & Wolfowitz behind Iran Nuclear Program initiated during Ford Administration

by Ed Haas - Muckraker Report.

March 6, 2006 - In 1976, President Gerald R. Ford signed a directive that granted Iran the opportunity to purchase U.S. built reprocessing equipment and facilities designed to extract plutonium from nuclear reactor fuel.

When Gerald Ford assumed the Presidency in August 1974, the current Vice President of the United States, Richard B Cheney served on the transition team and later as Deputy Assistant to the President. In November 1975, he was named Assistant to the President and White House Chief of Staff, a position he held throughout the remainder of the Ford Administration.[1]

In August 1974, the current Secretary of Defense, Donald H. Rumsfeld served as Chairman of the transition to the Presidency of Gerald R. Ford. He then became Chief of Staff of the White House and a member of the President's Cabinet (1974-1975)[2] and was the Ford Administration’s Secretary of Defense from 1975–1977.

The current President of the World Bank, Paul Wolfowitz served in the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency under President Gerald Ford.[3] Wolfowitz is considered as a prominent architect of the Bush Doctrine, which has come to be identified with a policy that permits pre-emptive war against potential aggressors before they are capable of mounting attacks against the United States.

US: WORKED HARD TO COMPLETE A MULTIBILLION-DOLLAR DEAL

According to Washington Post Staff Writer Dafna Linzer, “Ford’s team endorsed Iranian plans to build a massive nuclear energy industry, but also worked hard to complete a multibillion-dollar deal that would have given Tehran control of large quantities of plutonium and enriched uranium – the two pathways to a nuclear bomb. Either can be shaped into the core of a nuclear warhead, and obtaining one or the other is generally considered the most significant obstacle to would-be weopons builders.”[4]

What the current Bush Administration is asserting, particularly through its news agency Fox News, is that it needs to prevent Iran from achieving the exact same nuclear capabilities that President Ford and his key appointees, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Wolfowitz were encouraging Iran to accomplish 30 years ago. Iran, a party to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, is guaranteed the right to develop peaceful nuclear power programs – regardless of whether the United States approves or disapproves the politics or political leadership of that country; a point that Iran has repeated over and over again.

For 30 years, Iran has proclaimed that it needs nuclear power since its oil and gas supplies are limited, just like the United States, and therefore has the legal right to produce and operate nuclear power plants. Thirty years ago, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld agreed. Today, Cheney and Rumsfeld appear to be crawling out of their skins with uncontrollable militarized lust for control of Iranian oil fields via a U.S. occupied, Iran. The NEO-CON war drumbeaters have already devised their plans for the liberation of the people again, this time Iranian people, and making things all better, just like they have done in Iraq.

SCARY STUFF, BUT IT IS TRUE.

In preparation, the Bush Administration has primed the mainstream media so effectively that 8 out of 10 Americans believe Iran poises an immediate nuclear threat to the United States. The President’s recent and risky travel to regional nuclear powers, Pakistan and India, no doubt also served as a strategic warning to those countries to prepare for the certain public backlash to be expected once the U.S. or Israel begins to drop bombs on Iran.

It is also worth noting that in 2000, the World Bank resumed making loans to Iran. As of June 30, 2004, the World Bank as made 51 loans valued at $2.6 billion to Iran. The World Bank gets its funds from the International Monetary Fund, which in turn, gets its money from member nation dues / contributions. The United States is required to contribute $37.2 billion per year into the IMF. The Federal Reserve Banking Cartel orchestrated this money scheme so that it can continue to print and loan astronomical numbers of debt notes. If the American people understood that the Federal Reserve* and the U.S. Congress have been funding many activities of the Islamic Republic of Iran, most would be skeptical of the federal government’s current claim that Iran’s 30 year old, U.S. sanctioned, nuclear program is somehow now an immediate threat to the security of the United States. The IMF - [FPF - http://tinyurl.com/h8x5a] - and the World Bank create just enough degrees of separation to shield the government from the people recognizing that the federal government has fed the dog well that it now claims will bite if we do not ‘put it down’ with a pre-emptive strike.

With Wolfowitz at the helm of the World Bank, one has to wonder if once again the Federal Reserve has positioned itself to fund both sides of a warring conflict. One thing is certain; loaning money to fund both sides of a war is a perfected craft of the member banks of the Federal Reserve, which is interested only in loan collateral and interest payments. Patriotism is not part of the equation. What is most disturbing about the relationship between the Fed, IMF, and World Bank is that the $37.2 billion the U.S. is obligated to pay to the IMF annually, is actually secured by the American taxpayer. We the People, and the ability of the U.S. Congress to confiscate our wealth through that unconstitutional apparatus referred to as a federal income tax, makes loaning money to the Islamic Republic of Iran easy because if Iran defaults on its World Bank loans, the U.S. portions of the loans work their way back to the lender of last resort, which is the U.S. Congress. When the U.S. Congress responds to failed loans and failed banking institutions, they assume responsibility for the loan amount, and pass the burden of repayment onto the American people.

Finally, but very much part of the U.S. government’s charade aimed at deceiving the American people into believing that the U.S. has played no part in the development of Iran or its nuclear power programs, is the absolute economic threat that Iran poses to the global value of the U.S. dollar.

Unless the U.S. intervenes, on March 20, 2006 the world will have the option of purchasing oil with euros instead of dollars through the opening of the Iranian Oil Bourse. The Iran Oil Bourse will be the third exchange in which global oil transactions will be executed. While financial analysts debate whether such an exchange operating solely in euros will have the potential to collapse the U.S. economy, the complete silence of the mainstream media regarding this most important untold story can be interpreted as a sign that this suggested economic threat is real. As the Bush Administration has proven itself to be the most dishonest, secretive presidency in the history of the United States, it has repeatedly demonstrated that the truth about its motives and agendas can only be found in what is not being reported to the American people.

And if the Iran nuclear threat rhetoric is the firewall that the U.S. government is hiding the U.S. dollar global supremacy behind, than any military action in Iran will be solely on behalf of the member banks of the Federal Reserve – at the expense of American sons and daughters serving in the U.S. military and at the burden of the U.S. taxpayer who is already indebted to the federal government to the tune of $28 thousand, which is each and every American’s current share of the Federal Reserve / U.S. Congress banking cartel produced national debt - $28,000 and growing faster than ever!

Here’s a patriotic challenge and very American gut check for your consideration: Next time you hold your children and / or grandchildren, look them in the eye and explain to them how they are, right at this very moment, indebted to the federal government of the United States of America, to the tune of $28,000, and then ask yourself how you allowed it to happen.

SOBERING FACT THAT FEELS BETTER TO IGNORE, DOES IT NOT?

BUT HELL, WE’RE SPREADING DEMOCRACY, RIGHT?

I DON’T THINK SO, AND HOPEFULLY SOON, NEITHER WILL YOU.

DU: Dick Cheney's Time-Release Poison

FPF-fwd.: Dick Cheney's Time-Release Poison - below

“Military men are just dumb stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.” - war criminal Henry Kissinger, as quoted in the book “Kiss the Boys Goodbye: How the United States Betrayed Its Own POW’s in Vietnam.”

WHO ARE THE KILLERS? - Also the 'governments' and their managers in PNAC colonies - (PNAC = Project for a Nefarious American Century) - like Canada, Australia, England, The Netherlands etc. are GUILTY OF WAR CRIMES, the premeditated murder of their troops. But - despite all their rhetoric and other lies - they'll never send their own children 'to help' - and get killed by a bullet or cancer by DU-radiation.

Those criminal creatures and their vile collaborators waging the wars* send those poor ignorant human beings to their death, having at present a rate of 56% (fifty-six) of the people and inhabitants of that area which have become ill and/or suffer permanent medical disability.

Quote: "In a group of 251 soldiers from a study group in Mississippi who had all had normal babies before the Gulf War, 67% of their post-war babies were born with severe birth defects! They were born with missing legs, arms, organs or eyes or had immune system and blood diseases. In some veteran’s families now, the only normal or healthy members of the family are the children born before the war." - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/j2z4t

The sooner we get an effective war crimes tribunal for those criminals - and especially their propagandists in the media - the better. Those murderers all deserve imprisonment with hard labor for life. - HR

DICK CHENEY'S TIME-RELEASE POISON

by Irving Wesley Hall

Defense Secretary Cheney first used depleted uranium munitions in the 1991 Gulf War. Result? Almost 2/3rds of the vets are sick. Will this happen to the troops returning from Afghanistan and Iraq? Read on and judge for yourself.

Did you read the story about 1st Lt. William „Eddie'' Rebrook IV whose arm was shattered and artery severed by a roadside bomb in Iraq? The Army discharged him because of his injuries. But the Pentagon refused to allow him to go home until he paid $700 for his blood-soaked body armor discarded on the battlefield by the evacuating medics.

The Charleston Gazette quoted his mother as saying, „It‚s outrageous, ridiculous and unconscionable. I wanted to stand on a street corner and yell through a megaphone about this.''

That's how I feel after researching this series about Dick Cheney, deadly depleted uranium, and its effects on our troops. In 1991, then Secretary of Defense Cheney authorized the first massive use of depleted uranium munitions by our forces. As a consequence the lives of almost 2/3rds of the men and women who served in the Gulf War have been destroyed. Their families have been ripped apart, and their children are being born with tragic deformities. Does the same fate await most of the one million troops who served in Afghanistan and Iraq? Read on and judge for yourself.

INSPIRING STORY OF MAJOR MATT TULLY

This series was inspired by National Guard Major Matt Tully, a local attorney, whom I've never met but deeply respect. On 9/11, he was working as a brokerage firm paralegal in the World Trade Center and was almost killed. He changed into uniform and served for three days as the No. 2 National Guardsman providing security for the crash site. He subsequently returned to law school and set up practice in our area of central New York.

Despite the post 9/11 anti-Arab hysteria, Tully defended Joe Mansour, a Lebanese American working in a federal prison. Mansour began receiving derogatory e-mails and death threats after 9/11. The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee awarded Matt Tully its 2005 Pro-Bono Attorney of the Year. Tully also spoke out against the looming war in Iraq that the Bush Administration was hyping on a false connection between 9/11 and the government of Iraq.*

Matt Tully is an active member of the American Bar Association, Fraternal Order of Police, Knights of Columbus, National Rifle Association, Reserve Officers Association, American Legion, and Veterans of Foreign Wars.

Given Tully's 9/11* experience, pro bono work, and earlier opposition to the war, I was troubled to read last year that Tully had been called to duty in Iraq. Tully was quoted as saying, "I was very vocal in my opposition to the war in Iraq," and adding that he believed President Bush's policy of pre-emptive strikes to be un-American and that the United States should not invade another country unless it commits an act of war upon America.

Unlike the young draftees of the Vietnam War era, 40% of those serving in Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld's war are National Guard, and Army Reserves. They‚re our neighbors. They leave behind families, mortgage payments, and vital jobs serving our community.

IRAQ AND NAZI WAR CRIMINALS

As a former professor of political science I completely agreed with Tully on the illegality of a war of aggression against a country that posed no threat to the United States. I cannot imagine a lawyer and member of the American Bar Association taking any other position. After all, American jurists played a key role in the Nuremberg trials of Nazi war criminals that began in October 1945. The German defendants were charged not only with the systematic murder of millions of people, but also with planning and carrying out the war in Europe. The court sentenced twelve Nazi officials to be hanged, three to life in prison, and four to serve prison sentences of 10-20 years.

The Nuremberg Tribunal prompted subsequent expansion of international law that condemns the waging of aggressive war as the "supreme" war crime that inevitably leads to crimes such as the slaughter of civilians and mistreatment and torture of prisoners.

Mr. Tully's opposition to the war also struck a personal chord. I was a draft counselor during the Vietnam War. Like Mr. Tully's legal position against the Iraq War, my opposition to the Vietnam War was not only moral. It was political. As a high school teacher at the time, I had studied the disastrous Japanese and later French colonial wars against the Vietnamese.

I knew that the American war against a popular guerrilla resistance was not winnable. It would turn out to be a meat grinder for America's youth and all Vietnamese. And it would waste billions of dollars needed at home for education, health care, and eradicating poverty.

For years after the war ended, men would approach me on the street to thank me for saving their lives, and, equally important, for empowering them to refuse to serve in a war of aggression against a people who posed to no threat to the United States.

I agonized over Major Tully's particular dilemma when his National Guard division was called. Unlike the individual civilians I counseled in the 1960s, Tully was a commissioned officer with loyalty to his unit, the famous Rainbow Division of the New York State National Guard.

NEW YORKERS IN SADDAM HUSSEIN'S HOME TOWN

The heroic life of a man I didn't know prompted me to set aside a few days a week from the comic novel, We're Not In Kansas Anymore! I've almost finished about Pat Robertson-type Christianity. I wanted to learn about the men and women of the Rainbow Division stationed in Forward Operating Base Camp Danger in Saddam Hussein's former palace in Tikrit on the desert banks of the Tigris River.

I was in the middle of drafting my first piece on the Rainbow Division when I watched George W. Bush's October 13, 2005 choreographed teleconference on the eve of Iraq's constitutional referendum. The Camp Danger base commander had ordered ten of his soldiers to feed the president and the American citizens a fairy tale scripted by chickenhawk Republican operatives in Washington.

I knew that the words the troops had been ordered to mouth on camera were misleading, false, and designed to present a rosy picture of the rapidly deteriorating military and political situation in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

As an informed citizen I was outraged. So I changed the focus of my piece to contrast the fictional script concocted by Bush's stateside propagandists with the facts on the ground, including quotations on the growing resistance to the occupation by the base commander Army Maj. Gen. Joseph Taluto.

The Rainbow Division Guardsmen have now served the first of three possible six-month tours of duty. Most, including Matt Tully, have arrived home safely. When the local paper reported his return last month, I was in for a second shock.

On his way home, Tully had been co-opted into a meeting with Vice-President Dick Cheney.

I had been researching Gulf War Illness for a decade so I knew about Cheney's responsibility for the greatest tragedy to strike the United States military since the Civil War. I knew that depleted uranium contamination was the wild card in every returning vet's deck, one that Cheney, Rumsfeld, and the Pentagon don‚t want them or us to know about.

DICK CHENEY AND MATT TULLY!

HERE WAS THE MAN WHO HELPED DESTROY ONE GENERATION OF AMERICAN CITIZEN SOLDIERS ENLISTING A LOCAL HERO TO HELP TAKE DOWN THE NEXT!

IRAQ VETS IN DANGER? DO THE MATH.

Depleted uranium is deadly. 697,00 men and women served in the 1991 Operation Desert Storm. The Gulf War on the ground lasted only 100 hours. Few troops spent more than three months near the battle zone during and after the war.

Nevertheless 518,000 Gulf War era vets are now receiving medical disability according government figures. That's more than 70% of all Army, Navy and Air Force veterans, even though not all the disabled served in the Middle East. For purposes of comparison, many more years after the wars in which they served, the disabled from World War II total 8.6%; 5% from the Korean War, and 9.6% from the Vietnam War.

DEPLETED URANIUM, TIME-RELEASE POISON

More than 320 tons of depleted uranium munitions were used in the Gulf War. Ten times that tonnage has so far been used in Afghanistan and Iraq. Depleted uranium has a half-life of 4.5 billion years. Some of the radioactive particles are as small as bacteria. They cannot be filtered so they permeate the air, water, soil, vegetation, and animal life. Our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan are inhaling and ingesting them every day. They accumulate throughout the body like time-release poison, so the symptoms often develop years later.

The substance is so deadly that, before the war, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Erik K. Shenseki ordered the posting of elaborate regulations for handling contaminated clothing, munitions, and equipment. But how many active duty soldiers or vets reading this have even heard of those regulations?

320 tons in a 100-day war in 1991 produced almost a 2/3rds casualty rate. Since 2003, more than 3000 tons have been used in this current war without end. The typical tour of duty in the present conflict is six months. Many regular, National Guard and Reserve troops are serving second and third tours.

What percentage of the million troops who've served will eventually be stricken? You do the math. Iraq War vets are already getting sick, dying, and producing children with horrible birth deformities.

CHENEY PREPARING TO NUKE OUR OWN TROOPS

The Iraq War is Cheney's war. He was the point man fabricating the string of lies that persuaded Congress and the American people to support the unprovoked war on Iraq. Even though he knew all his "intelligence" was phony, he created and perpetuated the lie that linked Saddam Hussein to the 9/11 attack in order to manipulate our patriotism and mislead our troops.

Cheney is also the driving force behind an unprovoked nuclear attack against Iran that, according to all intelligence estimates, is years away from developing a nuclear weapon and is abiding by international law. We now face the frightening prospect of a nuclear attack on Iran that will send a radioactive cloud over the Middle East.

This will doubly contaminate the 136,000 American serving in the area as well as those who will have to be deployed when all hell breaks loose after the attack on a third Muslim country.

HOW TROOPS CAN PROTECT THEMSELVES.

HOW WE CAN PROTECT AMERICA.

Depleted uranium contaminates the air, soil, and water so that the men and women of the Rainbow Division took radioactive showers during their six months in Camp Forward Danger, but never knew it. D.U. attacks the body and the symptoms are diverse. There is no treatment and no cure. However, there are practical tips that troops can take in the field to avoid some of the exposure, and there are some do's and don't's to lessen contaminating their homes when they return.

Blair's ID Cards Bill Suffers Defeat

ENGLAND: ID CARDS BILL SUFFERS DEFEAT IN LORDS

''TRIGGERING A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS''

By Ben Russell and Nigel Morris

The Independent - UK - 7 March 2006 - Peers have thrown out the Government's plans for identity cards for a second time, triggering a constitutional crisis by putting themselves on a collision course with MPs.

The Lords rejected plans for everyone to be forced to register for an ID card when they renew their passport, accusing the Government of reneging on its manifesto promise to make the scheme voluntary.

HEAVY PENALTIES FOR CITIZEN FAILURE*

Lord Phillips of Sudbury, the Liberal Democrat frontbencher, said: "What we have here is a Bill that is compulsory, will require 40 million plus citizens to be interviewed for the purposes of taking out an ID card ... that carries heavy penalties for citizen failure and, above all, which has attached to it a major database of our private information."

The Home Office said it would attempt to overturn the defeat at the earliest opportunity. Andy Burnham, the Home Office minister, said: "This is a measure which is an integral part of the identity cards scheme and was backed by a healthy (? - HR) majority of MPs just two weeks ago.

"We have always been clear that the scheme is ... intended to become a compulsory scheme for all UK residents. A central part of that process is the linking of ID cards with passports as they are issued."
