Keep Boycotting BP

ayatoilet1 — Sun, 02 Dec 2012 00:43:20 +0000

The most important obligation Iranian-Americans have is to boycott BP; and to Boycott BP for life. Hey its the least you can do for your old homeland - Iran; or the least you could do for your new homeland - the U.S.; or the least you can do for your Azeri or Jewish friends or family - anywhere. It doesn't matter if you are a Mojahed, a Monarchist, Mossadeghi, a Mullah or a Moron ... its simply your obligation! That's it - go to the next gas station, MOVE ON!!

The War on Oil – Part 2

ayatoilet1 — Sat, 01 Dec 2012 03:58:18 +0000

There is a new war to create a new world ‘beyond oil’ and Iran is being carefully left behind. In fact, Iran is being by-passed in the grander plan to create new energy corridors; while countries like Qatar and Israel are being very carefully placed in the map as major global suppliers.

The War on Oil – Part 1

On April 20th, 2010 an explosion at the Deepwater Horizon platform, which drilled on the BP-operated Macondo Prospect killed 11 men working on the platform and gushed almost 5 million barrels of crude oil (50,000 barrels a day) into the Gulf of Mexico. The spill also caused extensive damage to marine and wildlife habitats and to the Gulf's fishing and tourism industries.

Even Without A Direct War, There Is A Cost to Sabre Rattling ...

At the peak of the driving season this past summer, U.S. oil consumption averages about 20 Million barrels a day (yes, I know its dropped a little these past few years) but that is a good rule of thumb number. So a 5 dollar premium is about $100 million dollars a day for the U.S. economy; and an annual expense of about $36.5 Bn. And if you believe the analysts, the cost could be as much as 5 times these figures i.e. half a billion dollars a day or about $160 Billion a year.

The Best Thing about the IRI

It was only after taking down the power of the Pope in Europe in the 15th century, that Europeans finally were able to prosper and what we call today the "Renaisance" of major advancements in science, philosophy, art, music ...you name it ...cam about in Europe proper. There is a very strong inverse correlation between religion and progress.

Larijani Brothers are not even Iranian....

Lets be clear about this.

(1) They were NOT born in Iran. In fact they were born in Najaf, Iraq. They are Iraqi - by every measure.

(2) Their mother was Iraqi. While their father was Misrza Hashem Amoli - who was a Shia cleric, originally born in Larijan - he moved to Iraq as a young mand and lived there for over 30 years -- where he married an Iraqi Arab Woman - had kids - the kids went to school there, learnt to speak Arabic First (not Persian). They were born AND BREAD in Iraq.

I Love Thanksgiving....

When I first came to America (from Britain), I realized that many major holidays like Christmas and Easter - even days like veterans day or July 4th - had either a religious conotation to them or a distinctly historic linkage. As an immigrant it was hard to relate. Like most immigrants I was happy for the day off - while working multiple jobs to just survive. European holidays by the way, are much the same - either historic in context or religious.

Israel’s Strategic Re-Set is All About Iran

ayatoilet1 — Sat, 10 Nov 2012 12:48:36 +0000

Believe it or not, every once in a while, there is a major review of America’s strategic relationship with Israel.

Back in the early 50’s, President Truman believed U.S. must support Israel simply because of the war crimes that occurred during the Second World War. The alliance had a humanitarian foundation. And rightly so!

The good news is that according to polls, Iranian-Americans vote overwhelmingly for democrats. Clearly we are not fools. Without question, the Democrats have always been better for business and the economy. This nonsense that Democrats are socialists is exactly that, nonsense.

Syrians and Iranians – just got thrown under the bus

ayatoilet1 — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 09:15:38 +0000

Yesterday, Russia’s giant Gazprom (in Partnership with France’s Total) placed the highest bid on Israel’s Leviathan oil and gas fields. If they win their bid, and there is every indication that they will, this means the end for Assad, and a complete remapping of the region. More importantly this means Syrians and Iranians will get f**ked.
