Sayyed Nasrallah - Hariri assassination evidence expose - Full press conference (updated with transcript)

Vineyard the Saker, 13 August 2010


Editorial note from Vineyard of the Saker:

I urge you all to take the time to sit down and watch the 2,5 hour long presentation. It is a quite fascinating expose of Israeli operations in Lebanon, it features intercepts by Hezbollah of Israeli UAV flying over Lebanon and it gives some most interesting prospects on what the murder of Rafik Hariri was supposed to achieve.

This is also, arguably, the first "psychological" phase of the upcoming war on Iran. The USA and Israel are quite possibly trying to create chaos in Lebanon via the promised indictment of Hezbollah officials by the special UN tribunal which is likely to bring down the current Lebanese government and possibly result in some serious tensions inside Lebanon making it easier for the Empire to isolate Hezbollah and "defend democracy", by force if needed.

excerpt from "Briefing by Press Secretary Robert Gibbs and Assistant to President for Counterterrorism and Homeland Security John Brennan"

States News Service, 12 April 2010

"The threat of nuclear terrorism is real, it is serious, it is growing, and it constitutes one of the greatest threats to our national security and, indeed, to global security.

Over the past two decades there has been indisputable evidence that dozens of terrorist groups have actively sought some type of weapon of mass effect. Relative to other such potential weapons -- which include biological, chemical, radiological -- the consequences and impact of a nuclear attack would be the most devastating as well as the most lasting.

Thus, the ability to obtain a nuclear weapon and to use it is the ultimate and most prized goal of terrorist groups. Al Qaeda is especially notable for its longstanding interest in acquiring weapons-useable nuclear material and the requisite expertise that would allow it to develop a yield producing improvised nuclear device.

The mainstream media's favorite scapegoat, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, resurfaced on Saturday amidst reports that he called the attacks of September 11, 2001 "a big lie."

According to the immediate and rabid response of virtually every Western news network around, this was simply the latest insane claim of the same raving madman who has previously threatened to wipe a foreign state off the map and denied the Holocaust.
