The Globalist Takedown of Iran, by the numbers: First come sanctions...
The story of what's going on today between the globalists and Iran can be traced back to June of 2010. Its genesis is reported in this passage from a McClatchy Newspapers article titled Obama administration unveils new Iran economic sanctions...
"The Obama administration unveiled new measures Wednesday to isolate Iran commercially and financially from the rest of the world in hopes of convincing the Gulf nation to suspend its uranium enrichment program.
At a White House briefing, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner detailed new steps, targeting the banking, maritime and insurance sectors and follows last week's United Nations Security Council decision to impose a new round of sanctions against Iran.
The European Union Thursday is expected to announce even tougher measures. News reports suggested leaders will announce bans on investment in Iran's oil and natural gas sector, and technology transfer.
A European diplomat in Washington said the additional measures represent a new level of penalties on Iran. The diplomat asked not to be identified to speak freely."
So under the pretext of trying to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons, the Globalist Troika of the US, UN, and EU set about destroying the Iranian economy. But they could not have done this without the collaboration of Russia and China, either of whom could have vetoed the UN Security Council Resolution that provided the public justification for the sanctions. Instead of protecting their supposed ally, though, both voted for the Resolution. As was stated by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton afterward in this Washington Post account...
"'We think that the sanctions send a kind of message to the entire Iranian leadership, which is quite diverse in their assessments and reactions, that there is still an opportunity for you to participate and to work with us,' Clinton said after the 15-nation council adopted Resolution 1929 in 12-to-2 vote, with Brazil and Turkey casting no votes and Lebanon abstaining."
Apologists for Russia, China, and Obama might make the claim that the Resolution was an effort to fend off more hawkish elements from attacking Iran militarily, but this does not reflect a policy conflict between "good guys" and "bad guys"; it reflects an internal difference of opinion within the Globalist Cabal between their more aggressive thinkers and their more pragmatic thinkers. The Zionist Neocon element of the globalists seems to want to take control of Iran by militarily rolling over them like they rolled over Iraq, but other globalist elements seem to think it's more cost-effective and publicly palatable to seize Iran through soft power. But we'll get back to that debate later in the entry.
