When
Iran "Deal" Falls Apart, The Pentagon Is Ready: America's Most
Destructive "Bunker Buster" Gets An Upgrade. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/04/2015. As the world awaits the outcome of next Iran
"deadline"- the June 30 conclusion of the finalization of the Iran
deal - the US is already hedging its bets. According
to the WSJ, the Pentagon has "upgraded and tested the largest
bunker-buster bomb in the U.S. arsenal, senior U.S. officials said,
readying a weapon that could destroy or disable Iran’s most heavily fortified
nuclear facilities should a nuclear deal fall apart and the White House decide
to take military action."

Germany
Generously Offers To Freeze The Bank Accounts Of Wealthy Greeks. Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 04/04/2015. Germany has been
kind enough to provide an idea where the foundering Greek "radical
leftist" government can find some additional funds: by freezing and
raiding the bank accounts of wealthy Greeks. Of course, the legal loophole
provision is that only those suspected (not convicted) of
tax fraud would be eligible for such an asset freeze, however since in
Greece virtually nobody pays the amount of tax they should, this is essentially
a carte blanche to freeze and raid the funds of the wealthiest Greeks
who have bank accounts in Germany (and soon in all other European nations) no
questions asked.

Mapping
Iran's Nuclear Program And Oil Facilities. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/04/2015. When discussing the Iran "deal" which isn't
a deal, but merely a " Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action", there are
two key things one must keep in mind: the location of Iran's nuclear facilities
and its oil infrastructure. Here is a quick take on both.
Iran Nuclear "Deal"
Post-Mortem, with data courtesy of "The
Geopolitics of Iran: Holding the Center of a Mountain Fortress"
Mapping Iran's Nuclear Program
And Iran's Oil Facilities
After double overtime negotiations
in Lausanne, Iran and six world powers have announced
a framework deal that largely covers the key points of a nuclear agreement
but that leaves the technical
details to be worked out over the next three months.
The joint statement outlined
several key points:
- Natanz will be the only Iranian facility allowed to carry out uranium enrichment, and the deeply buried Fordow enrichment site will be converted into a nuclear research facility.
- Iran will be allowed to continue enrichment in limited amounts, and all spent fuel will be shipped out of the country.
- The Arak heavy water reactor, which is still under construction, will be redesigned so that no plutonium is produced at the site.
- All three of the sites will be heavily supervised.
Notably, there was no mention of
the Parchin military facility, where Iran has been suspected of engaging in
nuclear weapons research. Iran has publicly insisted that it would not
subject its military facilities to inspection, though it is unclear what has
been conceded to assuage concerns about the activity at this facility.
The statement also did not specify
how long the terms of the final accord would last — another question left
for the final agreement.
Though there are several critical
ambiguities in the joint statement, on the whole this statement is highly
favorable to Iran. The careful wording was designed to enable Iranian President
Hassan Rouhani to sell this deal at home, and could help stave off U.S.
congressional dissent in the months leading up to the June 30 deadline — though
the deal does not depend on congressional approval for implementation.

Arming
for Riots Across America? Homeland Stockpiling “Less Lethal Specialty
Munitions” Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/04/2015 Considering several recent contentious situations in
Ferguson (Michael Brown) and New York (Eric Garner), and judging from recent
events in Germany and Canada, it appears the Department of Homeland Security
is intent on enhancing its ability to bring unruly crowds under control, so if
you are a “less lethal” munitions supplier, you may want to check out the
business opportunity the government has for you.

Peter
Thiel Blasts: The American Political System Is "Not A Democracy Or
Constitutional Republic". Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/03/2015. “Calling our society a democracy is very
misleading... We’re not a republic; we’re not
a constitutional republic. We live in a state that’s dominated
by these technocratic agencies.” Thiel says that organizations
like the Federal Reserve have been allowed to roam too far, calling government agencies “deeply
sclerotic and deeply nonfunctioning.”
