THE INTERNATIONAL FORECASTER editor Bob Chapman writes: Iran has warned the US and Europe of the danger of an oil crisis if Tehran is sent before the UN Security Council over its nuclear program, rejecting outright their demands to halt uranium enrichment.

Iran obviously is aware that the US and Europe are planning something behind the scenes.

Obviously, the normal business of economic and political rewards is not working. Iran wants to enrich uranium to generate atomic energy for power and argues such work is authorized by the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

• The US says Iran is “cynically” manipulating a loophole in the Treaty and has threatened to take the matter to the UN Security Council.

This could end very badly.

The elitist Bush and the neocons want free trade and globalization, but only on their terms. Venezuela supplies the US with about ¾ of the oil the Saudi Arabia supplies the US.

Venezuela wants to diversify its client base.

This is the result of two-foiled assassination attempts and a terribly botched coup.

Presently the US is attempting to destabilize and throw into chaos all of South America and they are sending major armaments and personnel to Aruba, 46 miles from Venezuela.

Due to the arrival of new military equipment from Russia and MIG-29 fighters, a direct assault will be difficult. Thus, we can expect attempts at internal subversion and invasions from Colombia.

A blockade of Venezuela would be easy, but it could bring Russian and Chinese vessels into play.

The key to US success would be assassinate another duly-elected President to effect regime change and put elitists into office and again loot the country.

For the elitists anyway is fine just get rid of Chavez.

It is incredible to us that these criminals have gotten away with these tactics over the past 60 years.
