Tuesday, October 23, 2007
at
11:38 PM
I have some interesting info for any REAL Americans out there.
While I don't really understand what Guy Fawkes really has to do with Ron Paul (I mean, I guess I get it, but he's British!), on November 5th the RonPaul2008.com campaign is having a grassroots fund raiser for all able bodied Americans who support truth and liberty and reject the elite corporate machine! Donate!!
Also, on November 11th We Are Change LA will be gathering in Santa Monica for a demonstration to expose the 9/11 cover-up. Anyone who is able and willing, informed and patriotic, human and decent, please show up to this event. If you don't live in LA, Google the We Are Change group in your city.
I will be participating in both of these events. There is hope.

No Business, Like Show Business

This morning we had our company-wide annual meeting. If you aren't already aware, I currently work as an Assistant at Lionsgate Entertainment in Santa Monica, CA. I made sure to arrive good and early so as not to draw attention as the guy arriving late. While I didn't intend to have a front row seat, when no one else was sitting in the front, I figured what better place to sit. It's not like going to the movies, where you want to sort of sit towards the middle. It's not really like school, where you want to sit in the back so the teacher can't see you. At work, you are hoping to be seen. While I know I'm not really on the radar of those speaking (CEO, President, etc.), I wouldn't mind them remembering my face when I am.The overall sentiment during the meeting was extremely positive. The company has grown immensely in the first year I've been here, and has grown even more substantially since Jon Feltheimer became the CEO of the company in 2000. I can say with absolutely honesty that this company is great to work for. While the pay is still a little less than some of our competitors, the benefits are incredible, and the potential for the future is through the roof.
Below I have included the first page of an article from TheStreet.com that came out today. Here's a nice quote from the 3rd page of the article:
P.S. Even in a recession, this stock could still make you money! Cramer believes this stock is undervalued, recession-proof and poised to deliver +30% in the next year, regardless of the state of the economy.

Lions Gate Makes New Charge
By Nat Worden
TheStreet.com Staff Reporter
10/1/2007 12:57 PM EDT
If you want to invest in the movie business, never mind the studios behind Spiderman, Shrek and Pirates of the Caribbean. Look to the little lion instead.
Wall Street has been mesmerized by the record-breaking summer blockbuster season powered by big-budget hits from the media titans like Disney (DIS - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr - Rating), Viacom (VIA - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr - Rating) and News Corp. (NWS - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr - Rating).
When it comes to their stock prices, however, the success of these franchise favorites too often gets buried within the consolidated results of sprawling conglomerates coping with a host of problems in other businesses.
That hasn't been an issue at Lions Gate Entertainment (LGF - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr - Rating), one of the last remaining pure-plays on filmed entertainment. Lions Gate is known for making cheap movies with a lower profile and turning them into highly profitable offerings, but in recent months something went wrong.
While its huge media rivals enjoyed the biggest summer in box office history, Lions Gate suffered a losing streak for which it was punished by investors. Its films -- like Slow Burn, The Condemned, Delta Farce, Bug, Hostel 2 and Bratz -- fizzled. Its stock shed about 15% over the course of the season.
"We didn't put our best foot forward this summer," conceded Michael Burns, vice chairman with Lions Gate, at a recent media conference in New York City.
On a conference call following its first-quarter earnings release in early August, Burns estimated those six films will wind up costing the studio just $15 million. Meanwhile, he predicted the next batch of movies would pick up the slack and give the company its strongest fiscal year ever in 2008, with a domestic box office target of $400 million.
So far so good. The company's offbeat comedy starring Jessica Alba and Dana Cook, Good Luck Chuck, in which Lions Gate only invested $19 million, opened last month and brought in a respectable $14 million at the box office in its debut. That exceeded expectations for Oppenheimer analyst Thomas Eagan, who predicts the company will earn $12 million to $14 million on the title.
Good Luck Chuck followed the strong opening of Lions Gate's Western remake 3:10 to Yuma. That movie led the box office in its early September debut with $14.1 million and continues to be strong. In August, the company released the action movie War, another solid performer.

The Timeline to Tyranny
Wednesday, August 08, 2007
at
9:43 AM
Reposted from Infowars.com (<--Linked article with sources.)
The top ten advances towards tyranny in the United States during the tenure of the Bush administration, from the Patriot Act to the latest expansion of the illegal eavesdropping surveillance program.
1) The USA Patriot Act
The party line often heard from Neo-Cons in their attempts to defend the Patriot Act either circulate around the contention that the use of the Patriot Act has never been abused or that it isn't being used against American citizens. Here is an archive of articles that disproves both of these fallacies.
The Patriot Act was the boiler plate from which all subsequent attacks on the Constitution were formed.
2) Total Information Awareness
"Every purchase you make with a credit card, every magazine subscription you buy and medical prescription you fill, every Web site you visit and e-mail you send or receive, every academic grade you receive, every bank deposit you make, every trip you book and every event you attend — all these transactions and communications will go into what the Defense Department describes as "a virtual, centralized grand database," infamously wrote New York Times writer William Safire , announcing the birth of Total Information Awareness, a kind of Echelon on steroids introduced a year after 9/11.
TIA was not canned, it was simply removed from the newspaper, renamed and continues to operate under a guise of different programs.
3) USA Patriot Act II
The second Patriot Act was a mirror image of powers that Julius Caesar and Adolf Hitler gave themselves. Whereas the First Patriot Act only gutted the First, Third, Fourth and Fifth Amendments, and seriously damaged the Seventh and the Tenth, the Second Patriot Act reorganized the entire Federal government as well as many areas of state government under the dictatorial control of the Justice Department, the Office of Homeland Security and the FEMA NORTHCOM military command.
The Domestic Security Enhancement Act 2003, also known as the Second Patriot Act is by its very structure the definition of dictatorship.
4) Military Commissions Act
Slamming the final nail in the coffin of everything America used to stand for, the boot-licking U.S. Senate gave President Bush the legal authority to abduct and sexually mutilate American citizens and American children in the name of the war on terror in passing the Military Commissions Act and officially ending Habeas Corpus.
There is nothing in the "detainee" legislation that protects American citizens from being kidnapped by their own government and tortured.
The New York Times stated that the legislation introduced, "A dangerously broad definition of “illegal enemy combatant” in the bill could subject legal residents of the United States, as well as foreign citizens living in their own countries, to summary arrest and indefinite detention with no hope of appeal. The president could give the power to apply this label to anyone he wanted."
Yale Law Professor Bruce Ackerman states in the L.A. Times , "The compromise legislation....authorizes the president to seize American citizens as enemy combatants, even if they have never left the United States. And once thrown into military prison, they cannot expect a trial by their peers or any other of the normal protections of the Bill of Rights."
Similarly, law Professor Marty Lederman explain s: "this [subsection (ii) of the definition of 'unlawful enemy combatant'] means that if the Pentagon says you're an unlawful enemy combatant -- using whatever criteria they wish -- then as far as Congress, and U.S. law, is concerned, you are one, whether or not you have had any connection to 'hostilities' at all."
5) John Warner Defense Authorization Act
The Bush Junta quietly "tooled up" to utilize the U.S. military in engaging American dissidents after the next big crisis, with a frightening and overlooked piece of legislation that was passed alongside the Military Commissions Act, the John Warner Defense Authorization Act , which greased the skids for armed confrontation and abolishes posse comitatus.
6) Illegal Domestic Wiretapping Program
"Months after the Sept. 11 attacks, President Bush secretly authorized the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on Americans and others inside the United States to search for evidence of terrorist activity without the court-approved warrants ordinarily required for domestic spying, according to government officials," reported the New York Times on December 16, 2005
The secret warrantless spying program was a complete violation of both the 4th Amendment and FISA.
7) Expansion of Illegal Domestic Wiretapping Program
Not content with now being lawfully allowed to force ISP's and cell phone companies to turn over data about customers without a warrant, the Bush administration is pushing for even more authority to spy on American citizens, and has already been handed a 6 month window within which to impose any surveillance policy it likes, and for that program to remain legal in perpetuity.
The administration has a 6 month window in which to impose any surveillance program it chooses and that program will go unchallenged and remain legally binding in perpetuity - it cannot be revoked. Under the definitions of the legislation, Bush has been granted absolute dictator status for a minimum of 6 months.
If he so chooses, and so long as it's implemented within the next half year, Bush could build a database of every website visited by every American - and the policy would be immune from Congressional challenge even after the "surveillance gap" legislation reaches its sunset
8) Martial Law Presidential Decision Directive 51
New legislation signed on May 9, 2007, declares that in the event of a "catastrophic event", the President can take total control over the government and the country, bypassing all other levels of government at the state, federal, local, territorial and tribal levels, and thus ensuring total unprecedented dictatorial power .
The National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive , which also places the Secretary of Homeland Security in charge of domestic "security", was signed earlier this month without the approval or oversight of Congress and seemingly supercedes the National Emergency Act which allows the president to declare a national emergency but also requires that Congress have the authority to "modify, rescind, or render dormant" such emergency authority if it believes the president has acted inappropriately.
9) Destruction of the Dollar
Former World Bank Vice President, Chief Economist and Nobel Prize winner Joseph Stiglitz has predicted a global economic crash within 24 months - unless the current downturn is successfully managed. Asked if the situation was being properly handled Stiglitz emphatically responded "no,".
Stiglitz caused controversy in October 2001 when he exposed rampant corruption within the IMF and blew the whistle on their nefarious methods of inducing countries to fall under their debt before stripping them of sovereignty and hollowing out their economies. Stiglitz agreed that the process of hijacking and looting key infrastructure on the part of the IMF and World Bank, as an offshoot of predatory globalization, had now moved from the third world to Europe, the United States and Canada.
10) Amnesty & The North American Union
The open plan to merge the US with Mexico and Canada and create a Pan American Union has long been a Globalist brainchild but its very real and prescient implementation on behalf of the Council on Foreign Relations has finally been reported on by mainstream news outlets.
The framework on which the American Union is being pegged is the NAFTA Super Highway, a four football-fields-wide leviathan that stretches from southern Mexico through the US up to Montreal Canada .Coupled with Bush's blanket amnesty program , the Pan American Union is the final jigsaw piece for the total dismantling of America as we know it.

DAFT PUNK TOUCHED MY ROBOT SOUL
Sunday, July 22, 2007
at
4:32 PM
Last night I saw one of my all-time favorite music groups, DAFT PUNK, at the Los Angeles Sports Arena. It was the most disgustingly awesome thing I have ever seen. The attendance had to be somewhere around 15,000 people. Just incredible. Here is a review in the LAist with which I couldn't agree more. Here is an excerpt:Unlike so many other electronic artists who basically mix their album tracks together like a DJ, Daft Punk completely de-constructs the tracks from their three studio albums, creating a brand new soundscape that builds up huge climaxes using portions of their songs which tease the crowd just long enough before dropping into full blown dance floor burners. This allows them to cover a lot of ground, using elements of dozens of songs without ever playing any album track in its original form. The ecstatic crowd of around 15,000 people were all dancing, and most were literally jumping up and down at various times throughout the show.
Here's another review in the Los Angeles Times.

There's a saying...
Monday, June 18, 2007
at
7:08 PM
There's an old saying that goes "The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist." I'm pretty sure I first heard it used in the cult classic Kevin Spacey flick The Usual Suspects. It's hard to argue with this saying. It gets it's point across. However, if I was so inclined to disagree, and maybe I just am, I'd have to say the greatest trick the Devil ever played was Television and the false realities it provides the subconscious. The masses are suggestively induced into making certain perceptions about what is "normal" and in my opinion not for the better.
"That's ridiculous!"
Yes, it is ridiculous. It's ridiculous how much of our current "real" reality, our real existence, is subject to the plays and theatrics presented to us through a funnel that is made up of various media including radio, newspaper, but most importantly television, all owned by a few companies. Our understanding of what our society is comes from this little box in every home. It is our connection to the collective. Unfortunately this half century old technology has become an instrument of brainwashing, controlled by few and watched by many. Ideologies, opinions, emotions, biases, and notions of reality are fed to the hoards in a constant bombardment of what is and what isn't, of what's normal and what's not, of what's important and what is trivial, what is wrong and what is right.
Sure, it's obvious the shows we watch aren't real. YES, we know the news is looking for ratings just like everyone else. IF IT BLEEDS IT LEADS! Right? (Actually, I think the new saying is "if it's a bubblegum pop celeb it leads.") But this isn't the only factor. Your consent is much more the detriment. You can expect the toob to be littered with fiction and fairy tales, but if you do nothing to actively consider the suggestions, if you do nothing to counter the effects, if you willfully consent to the suggestion the television entrances you. You become an open slate ready to be shaped and fitted. Knowing that cigarettes can kill them doesn't stop smokers from smoking. They know. It's a choice.
Nearly everyone in my generation is brainwashed. I am brainwashed. I've watched television my whole life. Some are worse than others. My parents generation was also brainwashed, but the technology and the programming is only getting bigger and better.
We do have one saving grace though, the one vehicle of mass communication that can prevail through the fog of suggestion. We have a place that you can roam free, say as you wish and do as you please (almost). The internet. Here you are definitely threatened by suggestion, but you are an active participant and you can dissent, you can say otherwise. You are no longer the passive servant of suggestion. In this medium you can be as powerful as your own ideas. Here you can enter a marketplace of opinion and that's good for everyone. Let's not let them take that from us. Fight internet regulation.

9/11 Blogger: Debunking Popular Mechanics
Tuesday, January 23, 2007
at
2:47 PM
By Jon Gold (Original Article)9/26/2006
A few weeks ago, I went into a Barnes & Noble looking for Barrie Zwicker's latest book, "Towers of Deception: The Media Cover-up of 9/11."
Before I got to the counter to ask if they had it in stock, I saw several copies of Popular Mechanics' new John McCain endorsed book called, "Debunking 9/11 Myths: Why Conspiracy Theories Can't Stand Up to the Facts." They had them prominently displayed so everyone could see them.
Holding back an "upchuck", I walked up to the counter, and asked the girl if they had any of Barrie's book in stock. As it turned out, they didn't. They were nice enough to order me a copy.
While I was there, I do what I always do in a book store. I looked for books by authors within the 9/11 Truth Movement. I was able to find one copy of Michael Ruppert's book, but nothing else.
Admittedly, I have never read Popular Mechanics' book. Wait a second. What's Jon pulling? How can he debunk a book without even reading it?
Here's how you do it.
If you're a frequent visitor to this site, you will know that there are several people citing Popular Mechanics's book as if it was the "holy grail" for 9/11 answers.
In Reprehensor's thread entitled, "Norman Mineta’s Testimony Proves 9/11 Was an Inside Job", I found 3 instances from just one person. Ronald "Pomeroo" Wieck.
Reference #1: "The information on this subject is abundant; 911myths has an entire section and the Popular Mechanics book devotes a whole chapter."
Reference #2: "The basic knowledge about the FAA and NORAD is available in the Popular Mechanics book."
Reference #3: "why not respond to the very specific and detailed chapter in the Popular Mechanics book that deals with the stand down canard?"
It occurred to me after reading his responses that it wasn't Popular Mechanics that the family members lobbied to investigate the attacks of 9/11. It wasn't Popular Mechanics that turned away whistleblowers with pertinent information regarding the attacks of 9/11. It wasn't Popular Mechanics that was mandated to give a "full and complete accounting" of the attacks of 9/11. It wasn't Popular Mechanics that was recently called "Derelict in its' duties."
The families lobbied Washington D.C. and the media to implement an independent commission to investigate the attacks of 9/11. You may have heard of it. It was called The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, or if you prefer, The 9/11 Commission.
The 9/11 Commission, as you can see from their very own ">website, was mandated to:
provide a “full and complete accounting” of the attacks of September 11, 2001 and recommendations as to how to prevent such attacks in the future."
It was the 9/11 Commission that the families called "derelict in its duties."
What does it say that people like "pomeroo" need to refer to a book other than the 9/11 Commission's report to "debunk" the 9/11 Truth Movement?
It says that the final report released by the 9/11 Commission isn't worth the paper it was written on.
Donna Marsh O'Connor, a brave 9/11 family member, said at the National Press Club in Washington D.C., on the 5th Anniversary of the attacks:
This Government has made me a victim of Conspiracy Theories, because they haven't answered fully, or allowed anyone to ask the true questions of September 11th, and that's what I'm asking from you today. For exposure. We are not crazy. We have questions. We demand answers. [..] We're asking for a new investigation into the events of September 11th, and this time, a truly bipartisan, global, with families invested from the beginning, middle, and throughout the end.
Sorry, but Popular Mechanics' book doesn't cut it, and John McCain should be ashamed of himself.

Bloggers Who Criticize Government May Face Prison (Original Article)
Bill would allow rounding up and imprisoning of non-registered political writers

You'd be forgiven for thinking that it was some new restriction on free speech in Communist China. But it isn't. The U.S. Government wants to force bloggers and online grassroots activists to register and regularly report their activities to Congress in the latest astounding attack on the internet and the First Amendment.
Richard A. Viguerie, Chairman of GrassrootsFreedom.com, a website dedicated to fighting efforts to silence grassroots movements, states:
"Section 220 of S. 1, the lobbying reform bill currently before the Senate, would require grassroots causes, even bloggers, who communicate to 500 or more members of the public on policy matters, to register and report quarterly to Congress the same as the big K Street lobbyists. Section 220 would amend existing lobbying reporting law by creating the most expansive intrusion on First Amendment rights ever. For the first time in history, critics of Congress will need to register and report with Congress itself."
In other words Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats may redefine the meaning of lobbying in order that political communications to and even between citizens falls under the same legislation. Under current law any 'lobbyist" who 'knowingly and willingly fails to file or report." quarterly to the government faces criminal charges including a possible jail term of up to one year. The amendment is currently on hold.
This latest attack on bloggers comes hot on the heels of Republican Senator John McCain's proposal to introduce legislation that would fine blogs up to $300,000 for offensive statements, photos and videos posted by visitors on comment boards.
McCain's proposal is presented under the banner of saving children from sexual predators and encourages informants to shop website owners to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, who then pass the information on to the relevant police authorities.
Despite a total lack of any evidence that children are being victimized en mass by bloggers or people who leave comments on blog sites, it seems likely that the proposal will become legislation in some form. It is well known that McCain has a distaste for his blogosphere critics, causing a definite conflict of interest where any proposal to restrict blogs on his part is concerned.
In recent months, a chorus of propaganda intended to demonize the Internet and further lead it down a path of strict control has spewed forth from numerous establishment organs: During an appearance with his wife Barbara on Fox News last November, George Bush senior slammed Internet bloggers for creating an "adversarial and ugly climate."
- The White House's own recently de-classified strategy for "winning the war on terror" targets Internet conspiracy theories as a recruiting ground for terrorists and threatens to "diminish" their influence.
- The Pentagon recently announced its effort to infiltrate the Internet and propagandize for the war on terror.
- In a speech last month, Homeland Security director Michael Chertoff identified the web as a "terror training camp," through which "disaffected people living in the United States" are developing "radical ideologies and potentially violent skills." Chertoff pledged to dispatch Homeland Security agents to local police departments in order to aid in the apprehension of domestic terrorists who use the Internet as a political tool.
- A landmark legal case on behalf of the Recording Industry Association of America and other global trade organizations seeks to criminalize all Internet file sharing of any kind as copyright infringement, effectively shutting down the world wide web - and their argument is supported by the U.S. government.
- A landmark legal ruling in Sydney goes further than ever before in setting the trap door for the destruction of the Internet as we know it and the end of alternative news websites and blogs by creating the precedent that simply linking to other websites is breach of copyright and piracy.
- The European Union, led by former Stalinist and potential future British Prime Minister John Reid, has also vowed to shut down "terrorists" who use the Internet to spread propaganda.
- The EU also recently proposed legislation that would prevent users from uploading any form of video without a license.
- We have also previously exposed how moves are afoot to clamp down on internet neutrality and even to designate a highly restricted new form of the internet known as Internet 2. Make no mistake, the internet, one of the greatest outposts of free speech ever created is under constant attack by powerful people who cannot operate within a society where information flows freely and unhindered. All these moves mimic stories we hear every week out of State Controlled Communist China, where the internet is strictly regulated and virtually exists as its own entity away from the rest of the web.
The phrases "Chinese government" and "Mao Zedong" have even been censored on China's official Web sites because they are "Sensitive phrases". Are we to allow our supposedly Democratic governments to implement the same type of restrictive policies here? Under section 220 of the lobbying reform bill, Infowars.net could be required to seek a license in order to bring this information to you. IF we were granted a license we would then have to report our activities to the government four times per year in order to bring you this information. Does that sound more like free speech or more like totalitarianism?

I am credited with working on this film. I saw Ron Jeremy and David Carradine in person (Jeremy seemed just as perverse as you would imagine, and Carradine just as much of an ass. However, I didn't talk to either of them, so who knows.)
It was part of a program at the University of Texas to introduce film students to actual Hollywood style production. I'm not expecting much, but hey...it's a start.

Israel plans nuclear strike on Iran
Monday, January 08, 2007

Uzi Mahnaimi, New York and Sarah Baxter, Washington
ISRAEL has drawn up secret plans to destroy Iran’s uranium enrichment facilities with tactical nuclear weapons.
Two Israeli air force squadrons are training to blow up an Iranian facility using low-yield nuclear “bunker-busters”, according to several Israeli military sources.
The attack would be the first with nuclear weapons since 1945, when the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Israeli weapons would each have a force equivalent to one-fifteenth of the Hiroshima bomb.
Under the plans, conventional laser-guided bombs would open “tunnels” into the targets. “Mini-nukes” would then immediately be fired into a plant at Natanz, exploding deep underground to reduce the risk of radioactive fallout.
“As soon as the green light is given, it will be one mission, one strike and the Iranian nuclear project will be demolished,” said one of the sources.
The plans, disclosed to The Sunday Times last week, have been prompted in part by the Israeli intelligence service Mossad’s assessment that Iran is on the verge of producing enough enriched uranium to make nuclear weapons within two years.
Israeli military commanders believe conventional strikes may no longer be enough to annihilate increasingly well-defended enrichment facilities. Several have been built beneath at least 70ft of concrete and rock. However, the nuclear-tipped bunker-busters would be used only if a conventional attack was ruled out and if the United States declined to intervene, senior sources said.
Israeli and American officials have met several times to consider military action. Military analysts said the disclosure of the plans could be intended to put pressure on Tehran to halt enrichment, cajole America into action or soften up world opinion in advance of an Israeli attack.
Some analysts warned that Iranian retaliation for such a strike could range from disruption of oil supplies to the West to terrorist attacks against Jewish targets around the world.
Israel has identified three prime targets south of Tehran which are believed to be involved in Iran’s nuclear programme:
- Natanz, where thousands of centrifuges are being installed for uranium enrichment
- A uranium conversion facility near Isfahan where, according to a statement by an Iranian vice-president last week, 250 tons of gas for the enrichment process have been stored in tunnels
- A heavy water reactor at Arak, which may in future produce enough plutonium for a bomb
Israeli officials believe that destroying all three sites would delay Iran’s nuclear programme indefinitely and prevent them from having to live in fear of a “second Holocaust”.
The Israeli government has warned repeatedly that it will never allow nuclear weapons to be made in Iran, whose president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has declared that “Israel must be wiped off the map”.
Robert Gates, the new US defence secretary, has described military action against Iran as a “last resort”, leading Israeli officials to conclude that it will be left to them to strike.
Israeli pilots have flown to Gibraltar in recent weeks to train for the 2,000-mile round trip to the Iranian targets. Three possible routes have been mapped out, including one over Turkey.
Air force squadrons based at Hatzerim in the Negev desert and Tel Nof, south of Tel Aviv, have trained to use Israel’s tactical nuclear weapons on the mission. The preparations have been overseen by Major General Eliezer Shkedi, commander of the Israeli air force.
Sources close to the Pentagon said the United States was highly unlikely to give approval for tactical nuclear weapons to be used. One source said Israel would have to seek approval “after the event”, as it did when it crippled Iraq’s nuclear reactor at Osirak with airstrikes in 1981.
Scientists have calculated that although contamination from the bunker-busters could be limited, tons of radioactive uranium compounds would be released.
The Israelis believe that Iran’s retaliation would be constrained by fear of a second strike if it were to launch its Shehab-3 ballistic missiles at Israel.
However, American experts warned of repercussions, including widespread protests that could destabilise parts of the Islamic world friendly to the West.
Colonel Sam Gardiner, a Pentagon adviser, said Iran could try to close the Strait of Hormuz, the route for 20% of the world’s oil.
Some sources in Washington said they doubted if Israel would have the nerve to attack Iran. However, Dr Ephraim Sneh, the deputy Israeli defence minister, said last month: “The time is approaching when Israel and the international community will have to decide whether to take military action against Iran.”
