UN "Green Light" for a Pre-emptive US-Israel Attack on Iran? Security Council Resolution Transforms Iran into a "Sitting Duck"
by Michel Chossudovsky
Global Research, June 11, 2010
"A sitting duck is a defenceless victim, an easy target, vulnerable to attack"
What this latest resolution suggests is that Washington and its NATO allies not only control the UN Security Council, they ultimately also call the shots on foreign policy in Moscow and Beijing.
This Security Council resolution should dispel the myth of competing super powers. Both China and Russia are an appendage of the New World Order.
As far as international diplomacy is concerned, both China and Russia are "Paper Tigers", with no teeth. "'Paper Tiger' [纸老虎 (zhǐ lǎohǔ)], meaning something that seems as threatening as a tiger, but is really harmless."
Both China and Russia are the victims of their own failed decisions within the United Nations Security Council.
An attack on Iran would immediately lead to military escalation. Syria and Lebanon would also be targeted. The entire Middle East Central Asian region would flare up, a situation which could potentially evolve towards a World War III scenario.
In a very real sense, the US-NATO-Israel military adventure threatens the future of humanity.
The UN Security Council voted on June 9 the imposition of a fourth round of sweeping sanctions against The Islamic Republic of Iran, which include an expanded arms embargo as well "tougher financial controls".
In a bitter irony, this resolution was passed within days of the United Nations Security Council's outright refusal to adopt a motion condemning Israel for its attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla in international waters.
It also followed the holding of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) conference in Washington under UN auspices, which called for the establishment, in its final resolution, of a nuclear free Middle East as well as the dismantling of Israel's nuclear weapons arsenal. Israel is considered to be the World's sixth nuclear power, with, according to Jane Defense, between 100 and 300 nuclear warheads. ( Analysts: Israel viewed as world's 6th nuclear power, Israel News, Ynetnews, April 10, 2010). Iran in contrast has no known nuclear weapons capabilities.
UNSC Resolution 1929 is based on a fundamental falsehood. It upholds the notion that Iran is an upcoming nuclear power and a threat to global security. It also provides a green light to the US-NATO-Israel military alliance to threaten Iran with a pre-emptive punitive nuclear attack, using the UN Security Council as rubber stamp.
The Security Council exercises double standards in the application of sanctions: Whereas Iran is the target of punitive threats, Israel's extensive nuclear arsenal, is either ignored or tacitly accepted by the international community. For Washington, Israel's nukes are an instrument of peace in the Middle East.
Moreover, whereas all fingers are pointed at Iran which does not possess nuclear weapons, five so-called "non-nuclear" European states including Belgium, Holland, Germany, Italy and Turkey not only possess tactical nuclear weapons under national command, these warheads are deployed and targeted at Iran.
Resolution 1929 (June 9, 2010):
“7. Decides that Iran shall not acquire an interest in any commercial activity in another State involving uranium mining, production or use of nuclear materials and technology as listed in INFCIRC/254/Rev.9/Part 1, in particular uranium-enrichment and reprocessing activities, all heavy-water activities or technology-related to ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons, and further decides that all States shall prohibit such investment in territories under their jurisdiction by Iran, its nationals, and entities incorporated in Iran or subject to its jurisdiction, or by persons or entities acting on their behalf or at their direction, or by entities owned or controlled by them;
“8. Decides that all States shall prevent the direct or indirect supply, sale or transfer to Iran, from or through their territories or by their nationals or individuals subject to their jurisdiction, or using their flag vessels or aircraft, and whether or not originating in their territories, of any battle tanks, armoured combat vehicles, large calibre artillery systems, combat aircraft, attack helicopters, warships, missiles or missile systems .... , decides further that all States shall prevent the provision to Iran by their nationals or from or through their territories of technical training, financial resources or services, advice, other services or assistance related to the supply, sale, transfer, provision, manufacture, maintenance or use of such arms and related materiel, and, in this context, calls upon all States to exercise vigilance and restraint over the supply, sale, transfer, provision, manufacture and use of all other arms and related materiel;" (Security Council Imposes Additional Sanctions on Iran, Voting 12 in Favour to 2 Against, with 1 Abstention, Includes complete text of UNSC Resolution 1929, UN News, June 9, 2010, emphasis added, )
The Arms Embargo. Implications for Russia and China
Both the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China have caved in to US pressures and voted in favor of a resolution, which is not only detrimental to Iran's security, but which seriously weakens and undermines their strategic role as potential competing World powers on the Eurasian geopolitical chessboard.
The resolution strikes at the very heart of the structure of military alliances. It prevents Russia and China to sell both strategic and conventional weapons and military technology to their de facto ally: Iran. In fact, that was one of major objectives of Resolution 1929, which Washington is intent upon enforcing.
At the same time, by barring Iran from purchasing conventional military equipment, the resolution prevents Iran from defending itself from a US-NATO-Israel attack.
The resolution, were it to be fully enforced, would not only invalidate ongoing bilateral military cooperation agreements with Iran, it would create a wedge in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).
It would also significantly weaken trade and investment relations between Iran and its Russian and Chinese partners. The financial and banking provisions in the resolution also point to Washington's resolve to not only isolate Iran but also to destabilize its financial system.
Washington is intent upon enforcing this resolution. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has appointed Robert Einhorn, Special Advisor for Nonproliferation and Arms Control, as U.S. coordinator for the implementation of the sanctions regime directed against both Iran and North Korea:.
U.S. President Barack Obama hailed the resolution, saying it will put in place the toughest sanctions ever faced by the Iranian government and send an unmistakable message to Tehran about the international community's commitment to stopping the spread of nuclear weapons.(Clinton appoints coordinator for sanctions against Iran, DPRK, Xinhua, June 10, 2010
We expect every country to aggressively implement Resolution 1929 said State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley. Were China and Russia to decide not to abide by the resolution's provisions, particularly those relating to weapons sales to Iran (art. , Washington would use this as an opportunity to engage in an increasingly confrontational diplomacy in relation to Beijing and Moscow.
The resolution is also intended to establish a US led hegemony in the production and export of advanced weapons systems. It is is heavy blow, almost a ;death sentence, for China and Russia's lucrative international weapons trade, which competes with the US, UK, France, Germany and Israel. In the post-Soviet era, the arms trade has become a central component of Russia's fragile economy. The potential repercussions on Russia's balance of payments are far-reaching.
Disabling Iran's Missile Defence System
UN Security Council resolutions are an integral part of US foreign policy. They are on the drawing board of Washington's think tanks, including the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) and the Heritage Foundation. In this regard, it is worth noting that the substance of article 8 of UNSC Resolution 1929 (June 9, 2010 was contained in a January 2010 report of the Heritage Foundation, which calls for "blocking arms sales to Iran" including Russia's S-300 missiles:
Washington and its allies should make every effort to deprive Iran of foreign arms transfers, particularly the impending sale of Russian S-300 surface to air missiles, which could provoke Israel to strike sooner rather than later. Stronger multinational efforts also need to be made to prevent Iran from transferring arms to Hezbollah and Palestinian terrorist groups, which pose a threat not only to Israel, but to stability in Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan. On November 3, Israeli naval forces intercepted the Francop, an Antigua-flagged cargo ship that was transporting about 500 tons of weapons from Iran to Hezbollah, via Syria.[22] The U.S. should press other allies to join in giving greater assistance to Israeli efforts to intercept Iranian arms flows, particularly to Hezbollah and Hamas. (James Phillips, An Israeli Preventive Attack on Iran's Nuclear Sites: Implications for the U.S, The Heritage Foundation, Washington, DC, January 2010)
Did Moscow assess the implications of the proposed arms embargo?
Immediately following the adoption of the UNSC resolution on June 9th, several Russian press reports indicated that the sale of Russian S-300 missiles to Iran would be frozen, despite assurances by foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov that the UNSC resolution would not affect the air-defence deal..(Russia says in talks with Iran on new nuclear plants, Haaretz, June 10, 2010) These contradictory statements suggest that there are significant divisions within the Russian leadership, without which Russia would have duly exercised its veto power in the UN Security Council.
Russia's S-300 Surface to Air Missile
Without Russian military aid, Iran is a sitting duck. Its air defence system depends on continued Russian military cooperation. Moreover, without Iran, Russia would be constrained to selling military equipment to countries in the US-NATO orbit. (See Russia to offset loss of Iran arms sales with Iraqi, Afghan deals, Russia, RIA Novosti, June 11, 2010)
Pre-emptive nuclear attack on Iran
The World is at dangerous crossroads. The real threat to global security emanates from the US-NATO-Israel alliance. The UN Security Council directly serves the interests of the Western military alliance. The Security Council resolution grants a de facto "green light" to wage a pre-emptive war against Iran, which has been on the Pentagon's drawing board since 2004.
"An operational plan to wage aerial attacks on Iran has been in a state of readiness" since June 2005. Essential military hardware to wage this operation has been deployed. (For further details see Michel Chossudovsky, Nuclear War against Iran, Jan 2006). In 2005, Vice President Dick Cheney ordered USSTRATCOM to draft a "contingency plan", which would "include a large-scale air assault on Iran employing both conventional and tactical nuclear weapons" (Philip Giraldi, Attack on Iran: Pre-emptive Nuclear War , The American Conservative, 2 August 2005).
Under the Obama administration, the threats have become increasingly pervasive and far more explicit than under the NeoCons. In October 2009, The American Enterprise Institute (AEI) organized an Event at Washington's Wohlstetter Conference Center on "Should Israel Attack Iran?"
"Iran's nuclear weapons development continues apace, threatening the security of its neighbors and the international community. According to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center, more than 60 percent of the American public believes preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons warrants military action. Israel's deputy foreign minister, Daniel Ayalon, emphasized on September 21 that Israel has “not taken any option off the table” when it comes to countering the Iranian threat. The same day, Israel's top general, chief of staff Lieutenant General Gabi Ashkenazi, made it clear that he would not rule out a military strike on Iran's nuclear installations, repeating that Israel has the right to defend itself and all options are on the table .As the debate intensifies over how to respond most effectively to Iran's provocations, it is timely to explore the strategic and legal parameters of a potential Israeli strike against the Islamic Republic and provide some thorough analysis about implications for the United States. (American Enterprise Institute, Should Israel Attack Iran?, October 2009, emphasis added)
From a military standpoint, Israel could not undertake a unilateral attack on Iran without the active coordination of the Pentagon:.
As President Obama extends “an open hand”, seeking direct talks with Tehran in his attempt to halt its nuclear programme, Mrs Clinton appeared [June 2009] ready to unnerve the Iranian leadership with talk of a pre-emptive strike “the way that we did attack Iraq”. She said that she was trying to put herself in the shoes of the Iranian leadership, but added that Tehran “might have some other enemies that would do that [deliver a pre-emptive strike] to them”. It was a clear reference to Israel, where Binyamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister, has talked about the possibility of military action to halt Iran’s nuclear programme — something he views as a threat to the Jewish state. ( Don’t discount Israel pre-emptive strike, Hillary Clinton warns Iran, Times Online, June 8, 2009, emphasis added)
In April 2010 the message was crystal clear: Washington "would use atomic weapons only in 'extreme circumstances' and would not attack non-nuclear states, but singled out "outliers" Iran and North Korea as exceptions" ( Iran to Take US to UN Over Obama's Threat to Use Nuclear Weapons against Iran, AlJazeera, April 11, 2010). Defence Secretary Robert Gates explained in a television interview "that Washington was making exceptions of Tehran and Pyongyang because they had defied repeated UN Security Council ultimatums over their nuclear programmes"(Ibid).
UN "Green Light" for a World War Three Scenario?
Is this latest Security Council resolution "the green light" which Washington has been seeking?
The substance of the Security Council resolution is also directed at Iran allies: China and Russia.
Ironically, while China and Russia failed to exercise their veto power, they are nonetheless the object of veiled US threats. China is surrounded by US military facilities. US missiles in Poland and the Caucasus are pointed towards Russian cities. More recently, the Obama administration has called for the extension of the sanctions regime directed against Russia's ally, Belarus.
Washington has also announced that "The Pentagon is preparing to embark on a mini-building boom in Central Asia, which would include the construction of strategic US facilities military" in all five Central Asian states, including Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.(See Defense Dollars Building Boom: Pentagon Looks to Construct New Military Bases in Central Asia, Eurasianet, June 6, 2010). These various military cooperation agreements with former Soviet republics are not only intent upon weakening the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and the CSTO, they are part of the US-NATO strategic encirclement of Russia and China.
What this latest resolution suggests is that Washington and its NATO allies not only control the UN Security Council, they ultimately also call the shots on foreign policy in Moscow and Beijing.
This Security Council resolution should dispel the myth of competing super powers. Both China and Russia are an appendage of the New World Order.
As far as international diplomacy is concerned, both China and Russia are "Paper Tigers", with no teeth. "'Paper Tiger' [纸老虎 (zhǐ lǎohǔ)], meaning something that seems as threatening as a tiger, but is really harmless."
Both China and Russia are the victims of their own failed decisions within the United Nations Security Council.
An attack on Iran would immediately lead to military escalation. Syria and Lebanon would also be targeted. The entire Middle East Central Asian region would flare up, a situation which could potentially evolve towards a World War III scenario.
In a very real sense, the US-NATO-Israel military adventure threatens the future of humanity.

Es muy extraño que Rusia y China hayan aceptado sancionar a Iran. Quizas estos paises ven a Iran como un peligro por la religion (caso ruso con los musulmanes) o como un posible competidor militar (China). Esto ultimo lo digo porque Iran es a China como Venezuela es a EEUU, en materia petrolera. Y dudo que a los chinos les guste que Iran les levante la voz en el futuro.

No se. A ustedes no les ha pasado que algún pana tiene una jeva de los mas divina y el pana se entrompa con otro loco a causa de la niña y ambos dos quedan vueltos ñoña? Bueno, alguien tiene que consolar a la jevita ¿no?, pa eso estamos los panas. A lo mejor algo así se traen Rusia y China. A lo mejor quieren que se prenda un peo. Se imagina como quedaria USA con tres frentes grandes de guerra, si con estas dos ya están casi en la quiebra, no se digo yo.

Si alguien puede conseguir mayor información al respecto se agradece.
Se habla de la posible formación de una burbuja de gas, que se estaría formando bajo la superficie.
Considerando que una explosión de gas butano comenzó todo lo del golfo, pues a lo mejor no están tan errados.

Sitúan a Hugo Chávez y Raúl Castro entre los peores "tiranos"
La revista Foreign Policy elaboró la lista que es encabezada por el norcoreano Kim Jong Il, seguido por Robert Mugabe, de Zimbabwe.
El venezolano Hugo Chávez y el cubano Raúl Castro figuran en un listado de los 23 peores "tiranos" del planeta que elaboró la revista Foreign Policy, y que encabeza el norcoreano Kim Jong Il.
Aunque la revista identificó como dictadores al Presidente de Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, y al Presidente de Cuba, Raúl Castro, estos figuran en los lugares 17 y 21, respectivamente, en la lista.
Al parecer, a criterio de los editores de Foreign Policy, ninguno de los dos tiene la estatura de tirano que en 2007 le dio a Fidel Castro, al que situó en el décimo quinto lugar en la clasificación.
En cuanto a Chávez, la revista sostiene que "el líder chiflado de la Revolución Bolivariana promueve una doctrina de democracia participativa en la cual él es el único participante".
En sus 11 años en el poder, según la publicación, Chávez "ha encarcelado a dirigentes opositores, ha extendido por tiempo indefinido los plazos de los mandatos y ha clausurado medios independientes".
Con dos años de ejercicio del poder, Raúl Castro quedó apenas antepenúltimo en la lista de los dictadores elaborada por esta revista, quizá porque "le aflige un astigmatismo intelectual que no le permite darse cuenta de que la revolución que encabeza es obsoleta".
Según esta publicación estadounidense, esa revolución "es totalmente irrelevante para las aspiraciones del pueblo cubano" y por ello Raúl Castro "le hecha la culpa del fracaso a las conspiraciones foráneas que él usa para justificar una represión aún más brutal".
Kim, en cambio, se aseguró el primer lugar con 16 años al mando porque es "un aislacionista que cultiva el culto a su personalidad y tiene un gusto por el buen cognac francés".
"Kim ha empobrecido a su pueblo, ha permitido hambrunas, ha metido a miles en campos de prisioneros al tiempo que gasta los pocos recursos de su país en un programa nuclear", dice la revista.
En la nómina de los dictadores, elaborada por la revista, siguen Robert Mugabe, de Zimbabwe; Than Shwe, de Birmania; Omar Hassan Al- Bashir, de Sudán, y Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, de Turkmenistán.
En las listas de países, el peor sitio del planeta de acuerdo con la revista es Somalia, seguido por Chad, Sudán, Zimbabue y la República Democrática del Congo. El primer país americano que aparece en la lista de sitios deplorables es Haití.

Científicos descubren un mecanismo de inmunidad natural al VIH
Washington.- Un equipo de científicos en Massachusetts descubrió el gen por el cual en algunas personas infectadas con el virus de inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH) se demora o nunca ocurre el desarrollo del sida según EFE.
El Instituto Tecnológico de Massachusetts (MIT), la Universidad de Harvard y el Hospital General de Massachusetts (MGH) indicaron en un comunicado que el hallazgo podría llevar al desarrollo de vacunas que causen una reacción de inmunidad similar en los individuos con VIH. Cuando las personas se infectan con el VIH habitualmente es cuestión de meses para que desarrollen plenamente el síndrome de inmunodeficiencia humana si no hay antes una intervención con medicamentos.
Pero en aproximadamente una de cada 200 personas con VIH esa evolución no ocurre. Desde fines de la década de 1990 los investigadores encontraron que un alto porcentaje de personas con inmunidad natural al VIH son portadoras de un gen llamado HLA B57, y el equipo de Massachusetts reveló ahora el efecto que contribuye a la capacidad de ese gen para conferir inmunidad.
El equipo encabezado por Arup Chakraborty del MIT, y Bruce Walker, del MGH, encontró que el gen HLA B57 hace que el cuerpo produzca células blancas T más fuertes, que ayudan a defender el organismo de los invasores infecciosos. Los pacientes con ese gen tienen un número mayor de células T que se adosan firmemente a más piezas de la proteína del VIH que en las personas que no tienen ese gen.
Esto hace que las células T tengan más probabilidades de reconocer las que expresan proteínas del VIH, incluidas las versiones mutadas que surgen durante la infección.

La vacuna contra el cáncer de seno, colon y estómago
martes, 15 de junio de 2010
En días pasados, Venezuela se conmovió por una extraordinaria noticia que provenía de un científico venezolano de talla mundial como lo es el Dr. Jacinto Convit.
En efecto, este ilustre ciudadano, como es de todos conocidos fue quien, en otrora descubriera la cura de la Lepra, enfermedad ésta que fue destructora en la sociedad.
Dicha noticia fue la creación de una vacuna que cura el cáncer de seno, colon y estómago.
Sus dotes de investigador y esa sensibilidad humana han producido, a sus 92 años, la cura milagrosa de este mal.
El Dr. Jacinto Convit ha sido postulado al Premio Nobel de Medicina.
Afirma este ilustre médico, que cuando ayuda al prójimo y ve como cura una enfermedad, siente una gran satisfacción.
Actualmente, a sus 92 años, se encuentra a cargo de la dirección del Instituto Nacional de Biomedicina del Hospital Vargas.
Tal es la humildad de este científico, que ese anuncio de la vacuna contra el cáncer, ha pasado por “debajo de la mesa” sin alardes ni escándalos.
De acuerdo a lo explicado por el Dr. Convit, dicha vacuna se encuentra compuesta por células mutantes del paciente, las cuales poseen varios tipos de células. Para este científico, “la mutación es la que provoca la recaída más adelante en el paciente, al combinar un gramo de células cancerígenas que tan solo tiene, si acaso, el costo de 5 dólares, el paciente desarrollo una mejoría en su propio organismo por la producción de anticuerpos que destruyen las células cancerígenas”.
Ahora bien, aquellos a los que se les ha suministrado la vacuna han sido satisfactorios, ya han pasado por pruebas al punto que dijo que los resultados obtenidos en los pacientes de cáncer en el colon, estómago y seno, han evolucionado satisfactoriamente y estos asisten con una inmensa fe y en gran cantidad.
Y como científico, demostrando que su actividad solo es en beneficio de quienes lo solicitan sin pago alguno, sin que exista recompensa dineraria, dijo que solo quiere contribuir en la vida de los pacientes, impartir tratamientos y no buscan dinero de nadie, es solo el interés de llamar a los pacientes para que asistan al Instituto y que lo más importante, es el carácter gratuito de la vacuna en el Hospital Vargas.
Yo personalmente me siento, como venezolano, honrado por este médico que solo busca el beneficio de su gente y nunca el beneficio personal, como siempre lo ha hecho en su importantísima vida profesional. Esta nota no puede ser escondida, pasada al olvido, ya que tiene un contenido de vida para todos nosotros. ¡Honor a quien honor merece!.
