Iran is the target of a relentless propaganda campaign to depict it as a lawless, terrorist state fanatically trying to produce an atomic bomb. This is big time BS meant to prime the pump for a brutal attack on yet another sovereign state. Meanwhile, Russia is saying, "Where's the beef?"
::::::::
The Israeli and the United States Governments, both with powerful nuclear arsenals and self-righteous pretensions to have the right to attack anyone anywhere over perceived threats to "National Security", have made it clear that they want to attack Iran on the grounds that Iran is a serious nuclear and regional threat.
Meanwhile, Iran has never even invaded anybody in its entire modern history, its supreme leader continues to issues Fatwas against the use of nuclear weapons, and the IAEA has yet to find any evidence of a viable nuclear weapons program. On top of that, America's own intelligence agencies recently said as much too, that there is no evidence of an active nuclear weapons program.
So, since Israel and the White House have no real proof to support an attack on Iran, they have had to leap into that chapter right out of Hitler's Mein Kampf, the one that expounds upon telling the Big Lie, constantly, endlessly, until the masses or more or less hypnotised into believing it to be true. This is an attitude, of course, of profound contempt toward the everyday citizens of America, Europe and Israel, that is, you and I, whom these students of Fascist methodology consider complete imbeciles and puppets on strings, who can be manipulated to believe what they want.
Russia, however, is not about to swallow any of this, and as AP reporter Vladimir Isachenkov wrote on Friday June 20:
Russia's foreign minister on Friday warned against the use of force on Iran, saying there is no proof it is trying to build nuclear weapons.
Sergey Lavrov said Iran should be engaged in dialogue and encouraged to cooperate with the U.N. nuclear monitoring agency. (source)
Lavrov went on to say something that is powerful proof that everything Olmert, Bush and Cheney has been saying is utter propaganda:
Lavrov said Russia had asked both the United States and Israel to provide factual information to back their claims that Iran was working to build atomic weapons. “So far we have seen none, and the same conclusion was made by the International Atomic Energy Agency,” he said.
“It's absolutely not right to speak matter-of-factly that Iran continues building nuclear weapons,” Lavrov added. (source)
