Mr Pipes,

MY RESPONSE:

The provocation appearing in the guise of the scurrilous Mohammed cartoons published by Jyllands Posten of Denmark, and then by a series of other European publications, has already done much to mobilize the armies, bases, and treasuries of Europe in support of the plan for a nuclear sneak attack and punitive expedition against Iran over the coming weeks. This entire affair has been orchestrated by NATO intelligence agencies to set the stage for a new world war. The Muslim riots were orchestrated by the US to garner European backing for the military strike. The Muslim riots sweeping the Middle East and Europe, was a planned psyop on the part of the US and aimed to provoke a row between Europe and the Islamic world.

It will all end with European countries thanking the United States and paying, and giving soldiers

THE ULTIMATE AIM:

The real urgency of the Anglo-American attack on Iran comes not from nonexistent nuclear devices, but from the planned March 20 opening of the Iran oil bourse, the first international exchange since 1945 where buyers and sellers of oil can conduct their oil transactions using a currency other than the US dollar ­ in this case, the euro. The Iran oil bourse threatens the number one pillar of US-UK world domination ­ the global hegemony of the dollar, as anchored in the dollar's central role in oil and other raw materials transactions. With the Iranian oil bourse, as much as $1 trillion of central bank reserves may flee the US greenback into the euro, the yen, and other currencies. The concomitant exodus of hot money from Wall Street would then puncture the US stock bubble, the US housing bubble, and the US bubble economy generally, leading to a collapse of the dollar in international exchange and the dumping of hundreds of billions of dollars in US treasury bonds now in the hands of the Chinese and Japanese. The transition from today's outmoded and obsolete dollar-based system to a dollar-euro-yen system of fixed parities, gold settlement, and high-technology exports to the developing sector could be easily handled by peaceful negotiations, but this is exactly what the international money lenders are determined to prevent. Ironically, their obsession for general war to preserve dollar dominance, by almost guaranteeing the closure of the straits of Hormuz, will lead to an even more catastrophic dollar collapse and world depression than the peaceful Iranian oil bourse ever could. The international money lenders, in other words, are playing a losing hand. Only fools would join them.
