This
Nuclear Deal was an agreement reached after 9
years of meticulous, often perilous and at times
for Iran demeaning and offending negotiations.
But Iran endured, because Iran’s negotiators,
notably the
Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, knew what
they were talking about, namely that Iran had
never any plans to develop nuclear weapons, but
using the enrichment process for the production
of nuclear power. This was, by the way,
confirmed by all 16 US security agencies. To no
avail. The media all but ignored it. The
announcement received little coverage by the MSM
and was soon shoved under the carpet by the
massive wester lie-propaganda.
Iran knew
that justice was on her side – the agreement
concluded in Vienna, Austria, on 14 July 2015
between the 5 + 1 (the five permanent members of
the UN Security Council, China, France, Russia,
UK, the United States plus German), as well as
the European Union with the so called Joint
Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Of course,
this was under Obama’s Presidency, and Obama was
not as friendly to Netanyahu as is Trump, who is
through his family closely interlinked with the
Master Zionist of the Zionists, Mr. Bibi
Netanyahu.
President
Trump wants to cancel the Nuclear Deal. He has
said this from the very beginning of his
Presidency. And lately he started new outbursts
of false accusations against Iran. Now that the
entire world is against him, wanting to adhere
to the nuclear agreement, including some
Republican members of Congress – all of the five
signatories, even the otherwise vassal EU, they
all say that Iran is fully complying with the
agreement, and they will stick to the deal. The
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in
Vienna has also confirmed that Iran is fully
compliant with the rules of the terms of the
accord.
Since it
is now difficult for Mr. Trump or any of his
handlers to pretend that Iran has failed the
agreement, Trump has changed his language. He,
and some of his most ridiculous stooges say now
that Iran is infringing on the “spirit” of the
agreement, as if Trump even knew what spirit and
spirituality means.
He, the
tyrant, keeps insulting and hammering down on
the Government of Iran all the same – spreading
lies which even Iran’s enemies know are lies:
Iran is spreading and funding terrorism in the
region, and the world, they are[military] threat
to the region – and they are even a ‘National
Security Threat’ – 12,000 km away from
Washington. Imagine, one of the most peaceful
countries in the world. The only National
Security Threat to virtually ALL the nations of
the globe, minus Israel, is the only rogue state
we know – the United States of America.
So, for
now The Donald has retracted from his strong
statement of canceling the Nuclear Deal and said
simply he will not ‘certify’ it, whatever that
means. Because “canceling” by the US alone is
simply another outrageous arrogance of
Washington’s. The US is a mere signatory among
5+1 and the EU. So, canceling is legally
impossible. For now, he has relegated the
“Issue” – the Trump problem, that is – to
Congress to come up with a solution – i.e. more
sanctions on Iran or – else?
Iran is
beyond sanctions. Iran is already part of the
new economic system – the one emanating from the
Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), led by
China and Russia, and detached from the dollar
hegemony. Therefore, slandering Iran,
threatening Iran with war and sanctions or both,
is one big bluff – and Trump, Netanyahu’s
puddle, believe the world will go for it.
More
likely, Trump’s handlers want the Donald to
create more confusion, spread chaos. Since the
Iran ‘issue’ was delegated to Congress to
handle, Trump is again verbally firebombing
North Korea, threats after threats. And
dangerously provoking military games on DPRK’s
sea and land borders. More sanctions are not
enough, because by now everybody knows they
don’t work. How can Washington impose sanctions
on China and at the same time hope China will
uphold the sanctions the US is imposing on the
DPRK? North Korea’s economy is tied at the tune
of 90% to China. Not to mention that ‘sanctions’
– by now the hearing or reading of the mere term
is laughable – imposed on China and Russia are
totally meaningless, useless, toothless.

Both
countries are trading with the world since quite
a while outside of the fiat dollar system, using
instead yuans and rubles convertible into gold.
That’s the new currency standard offered to the
world. The west can take it or leave it.. It’s
like jumping on the fast train that has already
left the Shanghai station, racing through
Eurasia towards Europe, called the OBI – the One
Belt Initiative, President Xi’s answer to the
western economy of fraud, that will lay the
tracks for a new and peaceful economy, possibly
for the next few hundred years. I have said it
many times before, and will keep repeating it,
the future is in the east; the west is passé. It
is committing suicide, greed, war and lie-driven
auto-destruction. Iran, India, Pakistan are
already members of the SCO, others, including
NATO Turkey, are vying to join and be no longer
vulnerable to US imposed sanctions and
sledgehammer policies.
Even
far-away Venezuela has decided to trade her
hydrocarbon resources with China in
gold-convertible yuans. Hence, Venezuela is
detaching herself from the dollar economy,
freeing herself from the financial and economic
shackles of Wall street, the FED and the Bretton
Woods Institutions. Venezuela is a beacon
illuminating a new economy for South America, as
well as an example of a solid democracy, as
demonstrated by this past weekend’s regional
fully transparent elections to elect governors
and state legislators – a new path to follow by
other Latin American countries, who are still
enslaved and trampled by the dictate of
Washington.
So – why
is Trump letting off his steam, showing off in
such ridiculous brinkmanship? A piece of theatre
for a public that is afraid to see the light? –
Outbreaks of aggressive rants against Iran,
North Korea, Syria, Venezuela and lately again
Cuba – who is next? It’s like a dance of death –
a final ritual that may end up in total nuclear
annihilation or implode by its own weight,
because those deep dark forces behind The Trump
love life too much to let it be destroyed by
their overdose of thrill.
