In November, outdated, forged, long ago discredited, and perhaps nonexistent documents were used to claim Iran's developing nuclear weapons. According to America's latest March 2011 intelligence estimate, no credible evidence proves it. Instead, baseless accusations may precede replicating Libya's model to target Iran belligerently.
On December 15, Manhattan Federal Judge George Daniels said he'll sign an order accusing Iran, Hezbollah, and Al Qaeda of 9/11 responsibility.
In response to a lawsuit brought by family members of 9/11 victims, he claimed Iran provided material support to Al Qaeda, based on spurious testimonies from three Iranian defectors whose affidavits remained sealed during court proceedings.
Testimonies given were false. Iran, Hezbollah and Al Qaeda had nothing to do with a plot hatched in Washington to initiate America's global war on terror. Ravaging the world one country at a time was planned. Syria and Iran may be next.
Supporting Dangerous Nuclear Power
Despite Fukushima's multiples worse disaster than Chernobyl, Obama supports jump-starting nuclear power construction. In 2008, candidate Obama said unless a "safe way to produce (and store) nuclear energy (is found), then absolutely we shouldn't build more plants....I am much more interested in solar and wind and bio-diesel (to produce) clean energy and (new) jobs."
At the same time, he accepted generous industry contributions, as well as earlier for his 2004 Senate campaign. As president, he now supports tens of billions of dollars in industry loan guarantees for new facilities - free money. He's committed to accelerating new construction. It's been halted since Three Mile Island in 1979. Numerous takers are lining up to take advantage.
Energy Secretary Steven Chu and other officials downplay the hazards, including 23 US nuclear plants at 16 locations using the same failed GE-designed Mark 1 containment vessels as Fukushima. Earlier, the NRC called them susceptible to explosions and failure because of cost-cutting design features.
