Nuclear Evidence Against Iran Mounts

What is likely the final diplomatic push prior to military intervention against Iran is off to a tense start. Yesterday, a five-hour kick-off to renewed negotiations took place between senior U.N. nuclear watchdogs and Iranians at the diplomatic mission in Vienna. There, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) officials reported that they believe a site at the Islamic Republic’s Parchin military complex was used to test components of nuclear weapons capability, directly undercutting Tehran’s oft-stated claim that the country is developing such capability strictly for “peaceful” purposes.

The Parchin complex came into focus when the Associated Press (AP) publicized a drawing from a country keeping track of Iran’s nuclear program. It depicted a containment chamber that is used to test multipoint explosives of the type used to set off a nuclear charge. The official who shared the computer-generated drawing with AP says it is based on information from an informant inside the Parchin complex, and that going into further detail would endanger the informant’s life. The official also demanded that he and his country remain anonymous in exchange for sharing secret intelligence information.

Just more propaganda to justify pouring hundreds of billions more into the military industrial complex. Borrowing money from the Fed to fight false wars. Then we will rebuild their nation using more money that we borrow from the Fed. We will pay them back using tax dollars collected from the paychecks of hard working Americans. Can anyone NOT see the scam being perpetrated against the American people? Is anyone still believing the lies coming out of Washington? Does anyone still think politcal parties do anything but effectively divide the people? How foolish we are to have let this happen for the past 100 years. Woodro Wilson Was the first domestic enemy of the American people.
