ABSTRACT
The new unilateral
sanctions by the United States against Iran,
Russia and Syria add to the previous actions concerning the same three
targets. They now form the most unforgiving embargo in History. The way in
which they have been organized is illegal according
to the definition of the Charter of the United Nations
– these are weapons of war, designed for killing.
…
[ Are Chiites/Sunnis, the main
terrorists? ]
For his visit to Moscow on 8
November, ambassador James Jeffrey was tasked with explaining the current US
obsession with the expansion of Persian influence in the Arab world (Saudi
Arabia, Bahrein, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen). Washington now wishes to
formulate this question in geo-strategic rather than religious terms (Chiites/Sunni),
while Teheran is organising its national defence around forward posts composed
of Chiite Arabs.
[ The mediation or conciliation proposal from Putin did NO work
]
Moscow then considered the
possibility of negotiating on Teheran’s behalf for the easing of unilateral US
sanctions, in exchange for its military withdrawal from Syria. President
Vladimir Putin confirmed his proposition, not only for his US opposite number,
but also for the Israëli Prime Minister, during their meeting in Paris on 11
November for the celebrations marking the centenary of the end of the First
World War .
[ Why it didn’t work? ]
He attempted to convince the
Westerners that Russia alone in Syria was preferable to the Irano-Russian
tandem. However, he could not guarantee that Iran would
have sufficient authority over Hezbollah – as both Washington and Tel-Aviv
pretend – to be able to order it to withdraw also.
[ What was the answer from USA? ]
Washington’s only answer, nine days
later, was to announce the eleventh series of
unilateral sanctions against Russia since the beginning of August. This
was accompanied by a ridiculous speech according to which Russia and Iran had
together organised a vast plot aimed at maintaining President Assad in power
and expanding Persian control in the Arab world.
This rhetoric, which we believed
had been abandoned, assimilates three states (the
Russian Federation, the Syrian Arab Republic and the Islamic Republic of Iran) as
machines in the service of three men (Bachar el-Assad, Ali Khamenei and
Vladimir Putin) who are united by the same hatred of their respective peoples.
It ignores the massive popular support they enjoy, while the United States are
profoundly torn apart.
We can leave aside the stupid
assertion that Russia is aiding and abetting the conquest of the Arab world by
Persia.
[ What were the main purpose of Econ sanctions by the US ]
According to the US Secretary of
the Treasury, Steven Mnuchin, who presented the unilateral US sanctions
on 20 November, they do not form the economic section of the present war, but are intended to punish the « atrocities » committed by
these three « régimes ». However, on the verge of winter, they mostly concern the supply of refined petroleum to the
Syrian people so that they may light their homes and keep warm.
It is not necessary to specify that
the three states targeted deny the « atrocities » of which they are accused,
while the United States pursue the wars that they started in Afghanistan, Iraq,
Libya and Syria.

the US at global level
[ Are Legal these US sanctions? ]
The US
sanctions were not decided by the United Nations Security Council, but
by the United States alone. They are illegal in
international law because in order to make them lethal, Washington is attempting to force third-party states to
associate themselves with the motion, which constitutes a threat to the states
targeted and therefore a violation of the United Nations Charter.
The United States have the
sovereign right to refuse to enter into commerce with other states, but not to
exercise pressure on third-party states in order to harm their targets. At one
time, the Pentagon claimed that inflicting damaging
treatment on a particular nation would lead its people to overthrow its
government. That was also the theoretical
justification for the bombing of Dresden during the Second World War and the
endless embargo against Cuba during the Cold War. However, in the space
of 75 years, this theory has never, absolutely never, been verified by the
facts. Now the Pentagon is considering using
detrimental treatment against a nation as a weapon of war like any other.
Embargoes are designed to kill civilians.
The ensemble of systems currently
used against Iran, Russia and Syria constitute the most gigantic siege
system in History [1].
These are not economic measures, but – without
any possible doubt – military actions implemented in
the economic sector. In time, they will probably lead to a division
of the world into two parts, just as in the period of USA-USSR rivalry.
[ How the Treasury Sec Mr Mnuchin explain these sanctions ? ]
Secretary Mnuchin insisted at length on the fact that these
sanctions were aimed above all at the interruption of the sale of
hydro-carbons, meaning depriving these countries – mostly exporters— of their
main financial resources.
The mechanism described by Steven Mnuchin is as follows:
1- Syria is
presently unable to refine petrol since its installations were destroyed either
by Daesh or by the international Coalition’s bombing raids against Daesh.
…
2- For the last four years,
Iran has been supplying refined petrol to Syria in violation of previous
unilateral US sanctions. This petrol is transported by Western companies
working for the Russian public company Promsyrioimport. This company is paid by
the private Syrian company Global Vision Group, which is itself financed by the
Iranian company Tabir Kish Medical and Pharmaceutical.
…
3- Finally
the Global Vision Group transfers a part of the money it receives to Hezbollah
and Hamas.
[ What is false in this story? ]
This a cock and bull story :
1- The
international Coalition has the official objective of fighting Daesh. However,
numerous testimonies over the last four years attest that it had alternatively bombed the Islamic state whenever it exceeded
the zone which had been allocated to it by the Pentagon (the Wright plan),
and that, on the contrary, it had parachuted weapons to
Daesh in order to maintain its position in the specified area. The two entities worked together to destroy Syrian refineries.
2- What
is the purpose of implicating the Russian government in the transfer of
petroleum from Iranian refineries towards Syrian ports?
3- Why would Iran suddenly need Syria to transfer money to Hezbollah and Hamas?
4- Why would Syria transfer Iranian money to Hamas while the Palestinian organisation – whose leaders are members of the Muslim Brotherhood – is at war with them?
[ The assumed magic word “terrorism”
explains everything ]
Steven Mnuchin doesn’t bother with long explanations. As far
as he is concerned, Syria is criminal state and Russia
is its accomplice, while Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas are all « terrorists ». This
is the most important point, the word that cancels out
thought.
A French
proverb assures that « When you want to drown your dog, you claim it has rabies ».
So there’s no point expecting logic in Secretary Mnuchin’s answer to President
Putin’s proposition of mediation.
[ In synthesis: we’ve passed from
Imperial-State terrorism TO mercenary terror ]
Progressively, the United States are withdrawing their
troops from the conflicts in which they were engaged, and replacing them with
mercenaries on the ground (the jihadists) plus economic
sanctions, the modern version of the medieval siege. See 1

NOTE [ 1 ]
Although during the Middle Ages, Christianity accepted
wars between the Catholic sovereigns, it condemned military actions against civilians. In
the 13th century, the Catholic Church therefore condemned all sieges when they
concerned not only soldiers but also populations. This
ethic has remained that of the Holy See until today. For example,
Pope John-Paul 2 opposed the United States when they
applied economic sanctions against the Iraquis during the reign of Saddam
Hussein. His successor, Pope Francis, remains silent on this question.
[[ Why? ]]
….
….
[[ Summing up: If God and
Devil exist, Christian war mongers are not the sons of God, worse if they
attack civilian population. The story-tell “God bless American wars” does not
come from GOD, it comes from Devil. So, they would deserve the death described
by the French proverb ..
But I would consider more just an LEGAL solution to the
problem ‘wars’. It means that those who are involved in
Empire Terrorism must be deposed democratically. This implies:
First,
we must build a powerful Popular Movement in favor of PEACE
world-wide (one week MOv from Sunday to Sunday) . In the US we must use
this MOV to collect more signatures –State by State; Town by Town to impeachment
Trump Govt (all of them), if there is evidence that they are promoting WW3.
…
Second: We must demand our elected officials to approve in Congress a rejection of WW3. That means: a-
bring troops home; b- Cut the budget for the Milit-Industrial Complex to
continue producing nukes and WMS and wars abroad (the selling of them to
terrorist States like Saudis- Israel and other allies in NATO). This is terror-business
…
Third: We must demand an immediate call to UN Gral Assembly
with the explicit objective of DISMANTLE NUKES (time
table) starting from top-down: the dismantle
must start in world Nuke- leaders starting with US-UK-RU-China-France and
Israel.
…
Fourth:
We must also request the close of NATO and other world & State Institutions
that suck Nations money under the pretext of defending the “National Security”. The best security for
the world is the dismantle of NUKES and other WMD and the dismantle of Institutions
that promote wars & genocide at world level. ]]
