Did Iran’s Cyber-Army Hack Into the IAEA’s computers? - The Daily Beast
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/12/05/did-iran-s-cyber-army-hack-into-the-iaea-s-computers.html
“It’s very hard to know who is behind the clickety clack of the keyboard at the time of a breach,” said Frank Cilluffo, the director of the Homeland Security Policy Institute at George Washington University. But regarding the most recent hacking, he said there were clues. “[C]learly whoever was behind the IAEA incident shares the intentions of the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps, and if not them directly, this could be a cyber-assassin, a hired gun Iran has enlisted to do their bidding.”

Mr. Netanyahu (…) told CNN on Tuesday that he would not count on Iran’s rational behavior.
In an interview published Wednesday in the left-leaning newspaper Haaretz, General Gantz described the Iranian government as very rational.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak, said Thursday that the chances appear low that the Iranian government would bow to international pressure and halt its nuclear program.
Zuhair Siddiq Resurfaces | Al Akhbar English
http://english.al-akhbar.com/blogs/angry-corner/zuhair-siddiq-resurfaces
Siddiq seems to have now appeared in the story of the Syrian uprising. There was a video leaked (taken from a documentary that is being shot about the Syrian opposition) which showed Siddiq meeting with the prominent Syrian opposition figure, Haytham al-Malih in Brussels. The meeting seemed odd on camera and al-Malih told Siddiq that his “reputation preceded” him, in reference to his lying record. In the meeting, Siddiq also accused Israel of assassinating Hariri (this part never made it into the news stories) and then left the meeting abruptly and threatened al-Malih. Siddiq’s brother later accused al-Malih of pocketing about US$30 million from Canadian sources.
This could have been a big story if this was about characters and movements that the West do not want to promote and romanticize. But it received no coverage whatsoever. Who is protecting Siddiq and who was behind his account that was delivered to Mehlis? And what was Siddiq doing meeting with al-Malih? Al-Malih was asked about this meeting and he simply said that he made an appointment and came to the office of Syrian National Council. The plot thickens.
Israel teams with terror group to kill Iran’s nuclear scientists, U.S. officials tell NBC News – Rock Center with Brian Williams
http://rockcenter.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/02/08/10354553-israel-teams-with-terror-group-to-kill-irans-nuclear-
Deadly attacks on Iranian nuclear scientists are being carried out by an Iranian dissident group that is financed, trained and armed by Israel’s secret service, U.S. officials tell NBC News, confirming charges leveled by Iran’s leaders.
The group, the People’s Mujahedin of Iran, has long been designated as a terrorist group by the United States, accused of killing American servicemen and contractors in the 1970s and supporting the takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran before breaking with the Iranian mullahs in 1980.
The attacks, which have killed five Iranian nuclear scientists since 2007 and may have destroyed a missile research and development site, have been carried out in dramatic fashion, with motorcycle-borne assailants often attaching small magnetic bombs to the exterior of the victims’ cars.
U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the Obama administration is aware of the assassination campaign but has no direct involvement.
#Tor's latest project helps #Iran get back online despite new #Internet censorship regime

between Feb. 8 and Feb. 9, connections dropped from about 50,000 to fewer than 20,000, and plummeted to nearly zero by Friday, Feb. 10.
The dramatic change proved the prediction of Tor project member Jacob Appelbaum distressingly accurate. Last week, as reports of the Iranian crackdown began circulating, he warned, "It’s likely that more than ~50,000 - ~60,000 Tor users may drop offline." But Appelbaum and his fellow Tor project members had a plan: a new obfuscated bridge (obfsproxy) that makes encrypted traffic appear to be regular traffic. Obfsproxy was an “ace up our sleeve,” as Appelbaum described it, and Tor put it into action over the past few days
US Congress promises Iranian people strangulation and catastrophe - Max Blumenthal
http://english.al-akhbar.com/blogs/gadfly/us-congress-promises-iranian-people-strangulation-and-catastrophe
A co-sponsor of the Swift sanctions, Republican Senator Mark Kirk, has been the largest single recipient of AIPAC-related donations in Congress. Kirk’s desire to collectively punish the Iranian people for anything their government might or might not have done is unconcealed. In an October 2011 appearance on a Chicago-area radio show, Kirk spent his time harumphing over a transparently trumped up Iranian government terror plot. But the host interrupted the senator with an important question: “Are you really going after the government of the country, or are you taking food out of the mouths of the citizens?‘”
Kirk’s reply neatly encapsulated the sadistic consensus in Washington: “It’s okay to take the food out of the mouths of the citizens from a government that’s plotting an attack directly on American soil.”

Is Iran’s Alleged Cash-for-Assassinations Plot Too Implausible to Be True ? by Paul Mutter — Antiwar.com

Regarding this portrayal, one is reminded of how in the late 1980s Batman comic series “A Death in the Family,” the writers were able to end the storyline where the Joker — yes, the Joker — became the Iranian ambassador to the UN (in order to kill UN ambassadors, of course!). You see, the Iranians are crazy, and so’s the Joker! Batman and Superman, of course, stop him (kind of), just as the DEA and FBI stopped the Quds Force (kind of).
What media coverage omits about U.S. hikers released by Iran - Glenn Greenwald - Salon.com

Fattal then expressed “great thanks to world leaders and individuals” who worked for their release, including Hugo Chavez, the governments of Turkey and Brazil, Sean Penn, Noam Chomsky, Mohammad Ali, Cindy Sheehan, Desmond Tutu, as well as Muslims from around the world and “elements within the Iranian government,” as well as U.S. officials.
Unsurprisingly, one searches in vain for the inclusion of these facts and remarks in American media accounts of their release and subsequent press conference.
[...]
Saberi’s case became a true cause célèbre among American journalists, with large numbers of them flamboyantly denouncing Iran and demanding her release. But when their own government imprisoned numerous journalists for many years without any charges of any kind — Al Jazeera’s Sami al-Haj in Guantanamo, Associated Press’ Bilal Hussein for more than two years in Iraq, Reuters’ photographer Ibrahim Jassan even after an Iraqi court exonerated him, and literally dozens of other journalists without charge — it was very difficult to find any mention of their cases in American media outlets.
WikiLeaks Springs a Leak: Full Database of Diplomatic Cables Appears Online | Threat Level | Wired.com

For the second time in a year, WikiLeaks has lost control of its full, unredacted cache of a quarter-million U.S. State Department cables — and this time the leaked files are apparently online.
http://www.wired.com/images/article/full/2008/07/julian_assange_250px.jpg
The uncensored cables are contained in a 1.73-GB password-protected file named “cables.csv,” which is reportedly circulating somewhere on the internet, according to Steffen Kraft, editor of the German paper Der Freitag. Kraft announced last week that his paper had found the file, and easily obtained the password to unlock it.

It’s hard to make light of the plight of my people, the #Bahá'ís | Omid Djalili | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/belief/2011/jul/10/bahai-iran-repression
Nowadays, the climate feels different. In February 2009 a group of Iranian intellectuals, writers, activists and artists signed an open letter to the Bahá’ís stating their regret concerning the Iranian government’s treatment of its Bahá’í minority. They made an open apology for their silence during Iran’s long-running persecutions: “a century and a half of oppression and silence is enough”. This letter was welcomed by the Bahá’ís, who have always made it clear they are humanitarians, not political activists, working towards social transformation for all at a grassroots level, not concerned with overthrowing governments.

#Superman threatens to renounce US citizenship | Books | guardian.co.uk
http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2011/apr/29/superman-threatens-renounce-us-citizenship
After the Islamic regime brands his non-violent protest as an act of war taken on behalf of the US president, the DC comic hero says he will renounce his citizenship before the United Nations.
“I’m tired of having my actions construed as instruments of US policy,” he says.
Although Superman never actually renounces his citizenship in the story, conservative commentators reacted with disgust.
In a blogpost at The Weekly Standard, senior writer Jonathan Last questioned Superman’s beliefs, now that he seems to have rejected the United States. “Does he believe in British interventionism or Swiss neutrality?” Last wrote. “You see where I’m going with this: If Superman doesn’t believe in America, then he doesn’t believe in anything.”

How the ‘NYT’ swallowed the #Stuxnet worm

The #New_York_Times article is deliberately misleading, excluding publicly-available evidence that casts doubts on the facts presented within it. Chiefly it has excluded the likelihood that the Stuxnet operation was a failed or only minimally-successful experiment that did next to nothing in terms of setting back #Iran's nuclear program

Solidarity and Its Discontents
http://www.jadaliyya.com/pages/index/683/solidarity-and-its-discontents
By contrast, Where’s My Vote-NY (WIMV), an organization formed to express solidarity with Iranian protests after the contested election in 2009, called for protection of human rights in #Iran but also took an explicit no war and no sanctions position, making them the only organization to do so. WIMV’s strong anti-sanctions stance has been controversial among some human rights activists in the US who have supported so-called “humanitarian sanctions” that are supposed to target individual Iranian human rights violators. In fact, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International pulled out of a WIMV-organized protest in September 2009 precisely because they refused to endorse a no sanctions platform. Below we size up the efficacy of “humanitarian sanctions” that claim to be in support of the human rights of Iranians.

Obama admits US involvement in Iran coup in 1953
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.32cde4b38d55ae6af28266bb31a7221e.851&show_article=1
US President Barack Obama made a major gesture of conciliation to Iran on Thursday when he admitted US involvement in the 1953 coup which overthrew the government of Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh.
“In the middle of the Cold War, the United States played a role in the overthrow of a democratically elected Iranian government,” Obama said during his keynote speech to the Muslim world in Cairo.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d'état
On August 19, a pro-Shah mob, paid by the CIA, marched on Mosaddegh’s residence. According to the CIA’s declassified documents and records, some of the most feared mobsters in Tehran were hired by the CIA to stage pro-Shah riots on the 19th. Other CIA-paid men were brought into Tehran in buses and trucks, and took over the streets of the city.
