POPSSaudis give nod to Israeli raid on Iran Michael Oren, Israel’s ambassador to the United States, on Friday warned that an Iranian atomic bomb could “wipe Israel off the map in a matter of seconds,” and that the Iranians could “accomplish in a matter of seconds what they denied Hitler did, and kill 6 million Jews, literally.”

POPSWho Really Killed Neda of Iran? Ballistics Suspicious Another possibility, besides the CIA, is Israel's Mossad and it's "shadow wars" . He suggested that the CIA or another intelligence service may have been responsible. Interesting how CNN only mentions the CIA in their title, and its denial in the article, instead of "another intelligence service". The details of her murder, and the ballistics of the bullet used by "a sniper", and away from the crowd of protestors are inconsistent with that of Iranian "militia" in both use of weaponry and motive. Killing a harmless unarmed girl, away from the crowd, would serve no one's purpose except the purpose for which her death is now being employed , quickly, by western media. It is no secret that covert operations are being employed against Iran by both the US and Israel for "destabilization".

POPSDestabilization 2.0 We are being asked to believe that this latest version of the very (very) old program of U.S. corporate imperialism is the real deal. While there is no doubt that the regime of Ahmadenijad is reprehensible and the feelings of many of the young protesters in Iran are genuine, you will forgive me for questioning the motives behind the monolithic media support for the overthrow of Iran's government and the installation of Mir-Houssein "Butcher of Beirut" Mousavi.

POPSOPERATION TWEET: Iran Election Unrest Fomented via Twitter Here is some powerful evidence. In addition to "Israeli interests" it also could be Mossad or even CIA operatives for that matter thru their "propaganda" wings. (The US has fomented revolutions in Iran before, as even Obama acknowledged publicly). The article continues: Why were these tweets in English? Why were all of these profiles OBSESSED with Iran? It became obvious that this was the work of a team of people with an interest in destabilizing Iran. The profiles are phonies and were created with the sole intention of destabilizing Iran and effecting public opinion as to the legitimacy of Iran’s election. Frankly the "private videos" now being shown by the US media (which piled on Ahmandinejad along with the neocon propaganda) look entirely spurious, and could be faked as well...blurry lines of people. It has all the credibility of a "bin Laden" video.

POPSWhy We Should Support the Green Revolution 
The obvious flaw in the argument is that less actual terror, with ambiguous world support, is still better than more actual terror with worldwide sympathy. Sympathy evaporates eventually; lives lost can never be returned. Predictably, what happened with Gaza was that Israel ended up losing on both counts. On the one hand, Hamas took over and built a massive terror infrastructure that enabled it to start taking the fight into Israel’s urban centers in the South. On the other hand, international support was short-lived. When Israel dared fight back, it was subjected to a brutal international outcry. The same arguments are surfacing today with regard to the Iranian demonstrations since the election. For several days we’ve been hearing both Israeli and American officials saying we’re better off having Ahmedinejad win rather than the reformer Mousavi. (Today it comes from the head of the Mossad.) True, it’s unlikely that an explicit supporter of the Islamic revolution in Iran wi

POPSBBC: Israel's Secret Weapon Mordechai Vanunu, Israel's nuclear whistle-blower, was jailed in 1986 for publishing photographs of Israel's nuclear bomb factory at Dimona. Olenka Frenkiel reveals the extent of Israel's nuclear gagging. Vanunu has spent 17 years in jail, 11 of which were in a minute solitary confinement cell. Sunday Times journalist Peter Hounam heard rumours in 1986 that an Israeli whistle-blower was offering proof of what the world had long suspected. Vanunu was that whistle-blower. His revelations confirmed that Israel was building advanced nuclear weapons. After the Sunday Times published this scoop, Vanunu was lured to Italy and kidnapped by Mossad agents and illegally smuggled back to Israel. He was tried in secret and convicted of treason and spying.

POPSBBC Documentary on Israel's Illegal Nuclear Weapons Program So many people get their knickers in a twist over Iran possibly getting nuclear weapons. While that's not a good thing, let's not forget that Iran lives next door to a rogue nuclear state that has started several wars against it's neighbors, namely Israel. Can anyone name a country that Iran has invaded?

POPSObama Fiddle's As Rome Burns These problems are simply the hazard of staffing a treasury department, which often involves people who have made enough money to have tax and nanny issues. And without those people, we cannot fix the banking system. The gigantic stimulus package that Obama passed will fall flat on its face, as contracting credit markets absorb the multiplier. That the Obama administration has been conserving political capital for its stimulus package and its budget, rather than its treasury nominees, is a radical misallocation of priorities. In these circumstances, I find it hard to come down too hard on Geithner for failing to come up with a newer, better plan; he could hardly be expected to do so without any deputies or staff to help.

POPSIsrael is Assassinating Iranian Nuclear Scientists This from an Israeli paper, per Western Intel sources. This is a covert "preventive war" (the doctrine Bush began with the neoconservatives), and not just against Iran. Bottom line is that Israel is trying to provoke open war with Iran, baiting a retaliation from these covert attacks which then would be blamed on Iran as the "aggressor" (as they did with Gaza, Lebanon, etc.). This is their standard M.O.. This also shows that the US is involved in a "proxy war" for Israel (a term the US employs only toward Iran), not a "war on terror": The U.S. journalist James Risen has written recently that the CIA and the Mossad have planned together a number of sabotage operations against the Iranian program , including damaging power lines to nuclear sites in order to cause harm to computer systems and equipment. The Cold Preventive War hinges on nuclear technology. How would anyone respond to this? Maybe proxy wars of their own? "What goes around.

POPSExperienced Pilots Discuss 9/11, Refute Official Story Interview with John Lear, son of Lear Jet founder, who flew CIA missions: "no Arab hijacker, ever, in a million years flew into the World Trade Center....not on the first try....certainly not at 5 or 600 mph...it would be an amazing fete of airmanship". Beginning at the 6:55 min mark he tells his view of 9/11 as "a scam" from the view of experienced pilots, who also tried on simulator to "hit" the Twin Towers. The interview goes in and out of 9/11 discussion after diverting to various other subjects. They discuss the NTSB flight record analysis (pictured) allegedly recovered but which has a very major discrepancy in the altimeter setting. He also discusses former covert ops flying for CIA, and Israel and Mossad are mentioned as well, which is also interesting to hear what goes on that US citizens never hear about, including drug running.

POPSIsrael launches covert war against Iran "With co-operation from the United States, Israeli covert operations have focused both on eliminating key human assets involved in the nuclear programme and in sabotaging the Iranian nuclear supply chain," she said. "As US-Israeli relations are bound to come under strain over the Obama administration's outreach to Iran, and as the political atmosphere grows in complexity, an intensification of Israeli covert activity against Iran is likely to result." Mossad was rumoured to be behind the death of Ardeshire Hassanpour, a top nuclear scientist at Iran's Isfahan uranium plant, who died in mysterious circumstances from reported "gas poisoning" in 2007.

POPSThe real story on Clinton's Marc Rich pardon: Israel Israel was lobbying hard to get Rich off; Clinton was lobbying hard to get concessions from Israel for a peace agreement with the Palestinians. It almost worked. (Rich, BTW, has never used the pardon. Under its terms, if he returned to the USA, he would owe tens of millions in back taxes)

POPS Iran Urges Assassinations Worldwide In the editorial, Shariatmadari recounted a story from a 13 year old teenager who had gone to the front lines during the Iran-Iraq war with the permission of the mullahs’ current Supreme Leader, Ali Khamanei, and was later killed. Shariatmadari compared him and other teenagers who were sent to mine fields by the regime, to “Ghassem,” a young man who fought alongside the revered Shiite Imam Hussein in 680 and died. Today, this war is in Gaza. As the Imam used to say, with the revitalization of true Islam of Prophet Muhammad, the Great Satan roared and issued a call to all the other big and small devils. … Now that the war in Gaza is the point of conflict for all of Islam against all infidels, why should the act of confronting the Zionists only be limited to the borders of occupied Palestine? Are the people of Gaza not representing the entire Muslim world in their fight with the Zionists?

POPSWho is responsible for genocide? Was the 3,000+ men, women and children massacred at Sabra and Shatila under Zionist supervision not genocide? When the IDF brought the Lebanese Christian Phalangist militiamen into the camp, didn't they know exactly what would happen? This is specially so when it was Mossad who assassinated the Phalangist leader Bachir Gemayel two days before but blamed the innocent Palestinians.
