Journalist Gareth Porter talks about his new book, “Iran, A Manufactured Crisis.” This book will probably not make the New York Times list of bestsellers, but in this 30 minute talk about it, he not only proves that the hysteria over Iran’s nuclear weapons program and the resultant decade of sanctions against it’s innocent civilians is not only entirely based on lies, but he identifies who is behind nearly all of those lies. Drumroll please…Israel.

Anyone with half a brain could see that “Iran” was a made-up crisis. Unfortunately, that leaves out much of the US public.
Someday the US sheeple will wake up, and let’s just say, blowback is gonna be a bitch.

AIPAC Dictates Terms on Future Iran Deal
Demands Iran Dismantle Civilian Program
by Jason Ditz, March 02, 2014
A key Israel Lobby convention, the AIPAC Conference was severely inconvenienced today by the media coverage of Crimean secession, which many complained was “stealing their thunder.”
Still it wouldn’t be an AIPAC conference if they didn’t treat US foreign policy as something they could unilaterally dictate, and today that meant specific demands for what the details of a US-Iran deal would be allowed to include.
Immediately endorsed by a series of Congressional hawks in attendance, the demands are the same Israel has been pushing, aimed at making a deal impossible to reach and effectively killing the talks.
This includes demanding Iran would fully dismantle its civilian enrichment program, and insisting that the US keep its sanctions more or less intact no matter how much Iran gives up, with any “limited” relief coming only with a specific AIPAC and Congressional imprimatur. They also pushed for more sanctions right now, seemingly just to sabotage the process further.
AIPAC continues to present itself as the “pro-Israel” position, and by extension the Congressional default position, but there is growing dissatisfaction with their policy demands, with many US Jewish groups feeling they are getting far too hawkish.
Report: Obama Will Ask Israel to Stop Assassinating Iranian Scientists
by Jason Ditz, March 02, 2014
Iran is likely to be a major topic of discussion during Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s upcoming visit to the US, and reports are that President Obama will ask Netanyahu to stop assassinating Iranian scientists.
Israel has been quietly assassinating Iranian scientists for years, and while Iran has complained about it, Israel has never officially admitted to it and has bragged of never having gotten caught.
Indications out of Israel are that Mossad has been transitioning away from assassinations at any rate in recent months, with Netanyahu ordering them instead to focus on digging up dirt that might sabotage US-Iran negotiations.
Officially that’s come in the form of talks of finding evidence Iran is violating the P5+1 deal, though officials have repeatedly affirmed Iran is meeting those obligations, and the Mossad effort seems to be a wild goose chase, hoping for anything they can spin as a pretext to kill the talks.
