united states government has created an artificial crisis that's first and foremost it's a manufactured crisis iran is complying with the i.a.e.a. iran does not have a nuclear weapon iran is not threatening its neighbors iran has not started a war with any of its neighbors israel on the other hand has hundreds of nuclear weapons and unlike iran refuses to sign the nuclear nonproliferation treaty does not allow. inspectors into its country so there's not really a nuclear menace or a nuclear danger from iran so what is the cause of the artificial crisis the real goal is the united states government has embarked on a course of extreme economic aggression against iran with the hope that by creating economic suffering economic isolation economic misery that part of the population will rise up or become disenfranchised with the government so that the u.s. can do as it has in history carry out regime change.

disgraceful conduct of un peacekeepers everywhere from haiti to the ivory coast to the congo and many other countries besides i think the syrian people should certainly hope that peacekeeping mission doesn't come about and i think one would have to see it really is as nothing more than a ploy to to involve the united nations in what is essentially at this point a civil war and and once the situation spun out of control as it probably inevitably would given the peacekeeping mandate of a force that would have no new ability to defend itself in the face of that violence the only sensible option at that point would be to send in foreign troops which i think is the really the end game in gambit that's going on in the strategy in the first place this is once again very much a copycat of the libyan situation that we thought last year with confirmed acts al qaeda fighters being part of the libyan opposition that the u.s. was openly supporting although one would certainly hope that some some enterprising u.s. citizen would take the department of homeland security up on there see something say something campaign and actually report to the u.s.

6:11 pm
to the agreements that they've made and tragically the greens track record of actually doing their bit in terms of what they're supposed to do in the past has been a huge deal so therefore we now have a situation where. the greeks have said we'll do anything you want whatever you want we'll do it personally i think what's going to happen is that the finance ministers will probably agree to give greece some money and greece is going to find itself in a dreadful situation where like a nine year old child every friday it's going to have to go to daddy say it's done untold work so it's been a good boy and overall can actually see how the next two weeks pocket money in order to pay its civil servants and that's a horrible loss of sovereignty. needed to secure the bailout for greece triggered violent protests on the streets throughout the week and of the anger of the people who are suffering the most from the implemented austerity measures is not going anywhere parties jake of greece reports. a system under siege
