This War is Going Global(thanks Putin): it's still China's!

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

This is a thread from FED watch that I would like to share with everyone, it's something that should be watched as it will shape the world as we know it going forward..

Nov 10, 2011 23:00:00 GMT -5 Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger said:

China has announced that they are joining Russia, the Arab league, Israel, the West, and India, in condemning the violence in Syria. This leaves only Iran as the supporters of this tragedy. Meanwhile the UN has just released a paper saying that Iran is most likely producing nuclear weapons. I know, big surprise right? However, again Iran finds themselves standing alone, well ok they have Venezuela.

If you look at how China is now co-operating with world powers on terrorist issues, and how they are saying they want to work in co-operation in places like, Afghanistan. It would appear that China has decided that stability in the region is in their best interest. really? That's a shocker. It's not like they have a million problem of their own.

Free Enterprise FTW.

Is China in danger of losing its wealthy class?

This is a wake-up call for the Chinese government. Almost a decade ago, the Communist Party decided to admit capitalists into the party to give business people a bigger voice in decision-making. Evidently, however, more needs to be done. Concerns expressed about the security of assets reflect continuing apprehension about changes in the party’s policies. For example, although private property is now enshrined in the constitution, state-owned enterprises are favoured when banks give out loans.

The attraction of a better standard of living overseas is understandable, especially when major Chinese cities are regularly enveloped in a haze and the drinking water is unsafe.

The government isn’t even reporting the gravity of the polluted air. In recent days, for instance, the U.S. embassy has said it’s hazardous to breathe the air in Beijing; the municipal authorities, however, say the air is only slightly polluted. Chinese leaders, it turns out, benefit from special air purifiers in their offices and homes. This is in addition to receiving organic foods grown on government-run farms that don’t use synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers.

Most Chinese people don’t have the means to leave, but the rich do. If the government wants to halt the stampede, it will have to respond to their demands.

Yes, Iran has the raw stuff, plenty of crude oil, but apparently has never developed the refineries to produce the fuels needed to produce that corn or wheat or enen to fill up the Iranian family car.

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

That's exactly it guys. There isn't going to be an all out war, it's all about stability in the reign. China is now pushing that. We know that lots aren't happy with the current regime.. We know that people are ready for something, and that the Iranian govt is as paranoid as anyone on this planet. They have already lashed out and said that the "west" will use the elections to destabilize the country, so my question is;

IF the uprisings start there, how far does the Ayatollah go? I can't remember what D&G thread it's on, but my prediction when this all started(Arab Spring) is that it would come down to them(Amidabigba) using their bomb, or having to conform to Free enterprise and go down as a laughing stock.

On Tuesday, Turkish intelligence units warned that the Quds Force, a special foreign operations unit of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard -- the country’s “elite military force” tasked with protecting the Islamic order in the country -- plans to send a group to Turkey to carry out a series of armed assaults that may include a bomb attack on the US Embassy or Consulate General. The Quds Force is infamous for its role in attempting to export Iran’s Islamic revolution to other countries through the instigation of chaos and by acting as the overseas branch of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.

In another instance of the regime eating its own, Faezeh Hashemi, the prominent daughter of former president Ayatollah Akbar Rafsanjani, was one of the activists targeted. On January 3, she was sentenced to 6 months in prison for spreading propaganda about the Islamic Republic. The charge is related to comments she made in April 2011 to an opposition news source accusing the regime of being run by "thugs and hooligans." Hashemi herself was harassed by security forces on several occasions. As part of her sentence, she has been banned from any political or organizational activity for 5 years.

That the USA/CFR and it's allies have destroyed what is right and good in this world, and that this fake "democracy" is about to collapse.

Reichskonkordat
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichskonkordat

I have been attacked because of my handling of the Jewish question. The Catholic Church considered the Jews pestilent for fifteen hundred years, put them in ghettos, etc., because it recognized the Jews for what they were. In the epoch of liberalism the danger was no longer recognized. I am moving back toward the time in which a fifteen-hundred-year-long tradition was implemented. I do not set race over religion, but I recognize the representatives of this race as pestilent for the state and for the Church, and perhaps I am thereby doing Christianity a great service by pushing them out of schools and public functions.

IMO, China sided with Russia so that the Arabs and US/EU are now squarely in the same camp.. UMM.... Huge!!

The Arabs are now turning around and blaming Russia for the bloodshed because they are saying that Syria is Russia only real allie in the region, which is mostly true, but we have the Arabs speaking out on cracking down. This will come in handy later when the Saudis/Arabs are trying to decide if women can do the same things as men can do.

Then of course the Chinese are saying that they weren't convinced that this plan wasn't going to lead to civil war. Now that civil war is imminent in the country anyway because of the shelling, and as if China didn't know that if the Syrians got the veto they wouldn't try harder to crack down. It's going to be impossible to not let an intervention happen.

It would seem that everything is coming to a head in the Middle east. Prime Minister Harper has meet with BN from Israel and President Obama is set to do the same on Monday, they both want to see a peaceful resolution to the matter, however, they have both said that they stand by Israel right to defend themselves. We all hope that it will not come down to a confrontation between the two and it's really up to Iran if it does.

China has repeatedly stated that they want a peaceful resolution to the problem in Syria and the Iran nuclear situation. Which goes to the point of this thread, that CHINA wants stability in the region, and will due what they have to to make sure these violent uprising stop here and don't spread any further, because they cannot have these spread on a massive scale to their own country.

The Iranian elections are underway and Amidijaba looks to be on his way out. Iran is claiming these to be peaceful and a demonstration to the stability of the Iranian republic, however, they control the Internet, and there have been reports of Iran security forces cracking down a head of these elections. According to some Iran people the Arab spring is destend to come to Iran because they are trying so hard to cover up the fact that it has already started. Some other problems for Iran now Include Russian banks closing accounts on the Iranian embassy and Turkey stepping up pressure on them to back an intervention in Syria.

Turkey is also starting to fear Iranian money flowing into their county and the effects this will have on business with the EU, if Iran doesn't start to co-operate with their Chinese and Turkish friends over the next few months there is going to be some kind of "resolution" on Syria without them, leaving Iran and most importantly, the Ayatola completely isolated.
