Iran Declares War on the Dollar = More War for America "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" - John McCain. America gears up for another Hitler blitzkrieg. And Fu** your Yellow Ribbon.by Jake Towne, the Champion of the Constitution

"The dollar has completely been removed from our oil trade ....Crude oil customers have agreed with us to use other currencies (in the trade)," Iran’s Oil Ministry official Hojjatollah Ghanimifard earlier today, although Iran had stopped selling oil in dollars in December 2007. America replied today by moving another aircraft carrier into the Persian Gulf, ostensibly not for further bombings of Iraqis. Asked if the carrier move went hand in hand with the rising U.S. rhetoric against Iran, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said, I don't see it as an escalation. I think it could be seen, though, as a reminder
Preemptive warring against Iran will further secure Israel’s security and possibly America’s oil supply, both goals of which I reject as they just seem to be missing from the Constitution. The attack should secure the World versus America/Israel, possibly not a bad thing right now, as we continue attacking whichever country in the region at our pleasure. There is NO "AL-QAEDA" in Iran, they DO NOT HAVE nukes or "weapons of mass destruction." And even if they did, or are trying, who could possibly blame them with a massive occupational army-with-their-deaths-written-all-over-it next door? And why aren’t we trying diplomacy? My expectations of my own country talking instead of threatening is very low, but how about China, Russia, Europe? Will they just let us have our way? Just like Chamberlain, Stalin, and Daladier let Hitler have his way.
Viewpoint
After the attack, America will be finally exposed as no better than Hitler’s attacks on Iran-Poland and Iraq-Czechslovakia. Our leaders will all be war criminals (or just committing another war crime, as you like). Our entire Congress, minus the Representative from Texas and a select few others, will need replacement. I voice doubt that there will even BE a vote of any type in Congress this time around, so powerless and spineless are the Pelosi Democrats of 2006 and the Bush die-hards.
On March 20th America’s FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network) issued a warning to the world banking system to shut out "all banks domiciled in Iran, and their branches and subsidiaries abroad." The advisory goes on to charge Iran with state-sponsored terrorism: "Iran’s anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism deficiencies are exacerbated by the Government of Iran’s continued attempts to conduct prohibited proliferation relation activity and terrorist financing."1,2 This is backed by the March 3rd UN Security Council Resolution 1803 to punish Iran for alleged nuclear bomb efforts.3 This builds on the FinCEN October 2007 advisory charging Iran is responsible for "money laundering, terrorist financing and weapons of mass destruction proliferation financing."4 The WMD allegation is reminiscent of the lies told prior to invading Iraq and is conspicuously missing in the March advisory. This is most likely due to the November 2007 National Intelligence Estimate published by the US Director of National Intelligence that assesses "with moderate confidence Tehran had not restarted its nuclear weapons program as of mid-2007"5 - the NIE was just a minor speed bump for the Bush administration.
Remember, our naïve Bush Global War on/of Terror policy to other nation-states is you are either ‘With Us or Against Us.’ Now Europe, China, Russia and all other countries can choose sides.
Also remember Osama Bin Laden of Al-Qaeda has not been spotted in either Iran, Iraq, or Israel yet for that matter!
However, this is the just the international version of the domestic Clinton Iran sanctions of 1997 (Executive Orders 13059, 12957, 12959) "confirming that virtually trade and investment activities with Iran by US persons, wherever located, are prohibited."6 (Off topic but I was heartened to see the USA did slightly ease the sanctions in 2000 to allow US Citizens to purchase Persian rugs, dried fruit, and caviar.)
The administration’s drumbeat for more war was arrogantly restated by Vice President Cheney on the 5th Anniversary of the Iraq invasion on March 19th, and more diplomatically by Ms. Perino from the White House on March 20th, although the questions pertained to the Iraq surge (a "major success" per Cheney) instead of Iran. The video below is worthwhile.7
ABC Reporter: "Two-thirds of Americans say it’s not worth fighting."
Vice President Cheney: "So?"
ABC Reporter: "So? You’re not – You don’t care what the American people think?"
Vice President Cheney: "No…"
The "Surge" has disintegrated into hundreds more Iraqi sectarian and American deaths since, pushing the American soldier death toll to 4,007 and an estimated over 1 million Iraqi dead.8,9
The foreign policy 'expert'/interventionalist Brzezinski, architect of the Soviet-Afghan War during the Carter administration10 and advisor to a major Democratic presidential candidate, (while calling for an end to the Iraq war, which I applaud) stated to the US Senate in February 2007:
"If the United States continues to be bogged down in a protracted bloody involvement in Iraq, the final destination on this downhill track is likely to be a head-on conflict with Iran and with much of the world of Islam at large. A plausible scenario for a military collision with Iran involves Iraqi failure to meet the benchmarks; followed by accusations of Iranian responsibility for the failure; then by some provocation in Iraq or a terrorist act in the U.S. blamed on Iran; culminating in a "defensive" U.S. military action against Iran that plunges a lonely America into a spreading and deepening quagmire eventually ranging across Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan." 11
So perhaps the next step is either launching of direct hostilities or a terrorist attack that the US can blame Iran for. Perhaps even tantamount to the 1933 Reichstag burning, a "false flag" attack that Hitler staged to sieze control of the German government.12 (For those unfamiliar with the term, a "false flag" attack or false story is used by one side against another to take control of events, or provide an excuse for aggression. One hypothetical example would be: during nation X and Y peace talks, government X colludes to ultimately attack itself, blaming the government Y. The reasoning is the attack, while harmful to X, will give rise to a "greater good" as X can now righteously take action against government Y. Former US MI Captain May has an article here for more thoughts.13)
As I have stated in other articles below, the actions against Iraq but also Iran and Afghanistan violates the Constitution of the United States of America, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11 as only Congress has the right to declare War.14
One last thought is the resignation of CENTCOM Admiral Fallon (supreme commander of all troops in the Middle East) on March 11th is rumored to be due to the nixing of a Fallon-brokered peace plan to withdrawal from Iraq and establish peace with Iran.15 Ironically the Iranian, Russian, and Chinese parts of the alleged deal may have completed by the unanimous agreement to the March 3rd UN sanctions referred to at the top of this article.3
I call for immediate withdrawal of all United States Armed Forces from Iraq and Afghanistan, and a declaration of non-aggression towards the Islamic Republic of Iran and all other countries of the world. I call for the issuing of a Letter of Marque to seek out and detain Osama Bin Laden for the American deaths of 9/11 and aboard the USS Cole.
Next, my recommendations
1 - Watch Ron Paul’s speak on Foreign Policy and the job of the Commander-in-Chief here. [link edited for length] He accurately explains how to "change the world within weeks" by withdrawing all troops from Iraq and warns of the upcoming attacks on Iran.
2 - Join DownsizeDC.org. Use [link edited for length] to contact your Representative and Senators and Stop an Attack on Iran. Check out the site for other causes, such as stopping National ID, and their signature idea "Read the Bills Act" to require that every bill be read into the public record before its voted on.
Lastly, the idea I promised to win the Presidency.
Although the presidential campaigns of Mike Gravel and Ron Paul continue, I propose that they look ahead and discuss mounting a backup campaign with other Voices for Freedom such as Jesse Ventura, Dennis Kucinich, and Michael Scheuer. Sort of a Founding Fathers Part Deux – without a team effort, there are questionable-at-best chances that any of these individuals by themselves would succeed against the MSM-blessed, "top tier" candidates. For the record, I would also choose fellow Nolan Chart columnists Jahfre Fire Eater, Jake Morphonios (no relation), and John Armstrong to represent myself on this team.
Think this a good idea? Or just don't want a war with Iran? Register your vote by thumbing the article!! Feedback, positive or negative, is always welcome.
Peace!

Thank Flying Spaghetti Monster that Cheny doesn't care, the last thing we need is a constantly wavering US that goes with the majority all of the time.
Think of some things that we would have if the will of the people was followed:
Come on. You are smarter than you let on. This is a rigged game. The ELITES run this figgin place - we live in an ANT FARM - we are the ants.
You are assuming too many things. The Constitution is toast. It always was - an appeasment to fool the ignorant masses into thinking they are "participants". We may participate through regulated elections riddled with electronic theft - but this is just part of the illusion. We don't ELECT our "misleaders". Just do the research - It's ALWAYS some Illuminati Freemason Skull and Bones INSIDER who gets elected. BUSH / CLINTON / BUSH / CLINTON?... ?????
Its the CFR World BANKSTERS who run this world.
I'm growing tired of educating total dumbass citizens about how this REALLY works. I support RON PAUL. The only intelligent choice - that's why it cant happen. Not because I am a pessimist - but because the people in this country are totally F'n stupid. He told us the truth and instead of listening, people flock to the other three stooges.
I'm SICK of being an American if it means being a dumbass.

Dear nuclear G -
Call me what you will, I am not claiming to be smart, an ant, or a dumbass. If you'd like to send me your premise or sources for your theory I wouldn't mind checking them out.
Thanks for educating people on RP's ideas, it is pretty time consuming eh? but if you are telling them about man behind the curtain, I hope you are showing them your theory's proof.
At any rate, I think you would rather enjoy my "Bankster" article - its a mind-teaser, and it comes directly from the Boston Fed website. I invite you to take a look and share your views on the link in the article
http://www.nolanchart.com/article3628.html
Perhaps you meant to say "Give me Liberty or Give me Death." I admire the Doctor's views as well but either Paul (or McCain) could have a heart attack tomorrow and where would we be then? Doctor or no Doctor, the Revolution continues, whether its just me or all Paul's supporters.
And if Dr Paul stays a Republican, we need a Ron Paul Republican Party website for all supporters, whatever party - possibly breakthematrix.com will be it, who knows?
Operation Cat Herder is reaching out to those wanting to keep the revolution moving.
Dr. Paul's new book is number one on Amazon and is climbing the New York Times and other best seller lists. Ron Paul supporters dominated the Nevada caucuses, and he took his best showing in a primary so far in Pennsylvania recently with more contests approaching fast. Even the MSM is starting to pay attention to the good doctor again, don't miss the interview on CNN American Morning: [link edited for length]
There are many great opportunities to continue the rEVOLution:
May 1st (today!) is the Mayday money bomb [link edited for length] for congressional candidate Vern McKinley [link edited for length] who is one of the best chances we have to get another Ron Paul Republican in Congress. Even Dr. Paul himself has cited Vern's public policy work! [link edited for length]
A new organization "Freedoms Ground" is attracting many of the best and brightest of the grassroots organizers to build the infrastructure we need to further the cause of liberty. [link edited for length]
Granny Warriors hosted a fun rally on the Capitol grounds where Dr. Paul spoke; they are now planning a Revolution for Freedom Festival in Sturgis, South Dakota on July 2nd to the 6th. [link edited for length]
The big March on Washington comes right afterwards on July 12th. Get info / help plan it here: [link edited for length]

There is so much more! The fight for our future continues, spread the message via your blogs, meet-ups and more!
nuclear G I understand your frustration and I feel that way sometimes too. But we have to keep trying. We can't just give up.
Think of the task our founders faced. They were out-manned, out-gunned, and out-funded by the Brits. They lost many battles along the way and even George Washington at times had to sit back and wonder "what was I thinking?" But they kept at it and the perseverance paid off.
