Finnish Media Trumpet NIE Report…….

The recent publishing of National Intelligence Estimate’s (NIE) 150 page report on Iran’s nuclear programs has caused a stir not only in the US, but here in Finland as well. The NIE’s findings supposedly prove that Iran halted its nuclear weapons programs back in 2003, thereby contradicting the Bush administrations assertions that Iran is still heading full steam with these very same programs.

But wait there’s more!

Via Atlas Shrugs, the Tundra Tabloids finds out that the NIE report is not entirely what it is being trumpeted to be, making the Keskisuomalainen’s (courtesy of Juhana Lepoluoto) claims of…:

“Pohjois-Koreankin esimerkki osoitti, että neuvottelemalla on usein mahdollista saada parempia tuloksia kuin pommittamalla.”

Translation: “The North Korean example shows that better results are acheived through negotiations than through bombing”.

…a bit naive and over optimistic. The News Max article by Ken Timmerman is very illuminating, because it tells us what none of the other news media wants us to know. Instead of being the product of the present day intelligence community, it’s the sole product of “former” State Department officials and intelligence analysts.

“A highly controversial, 150 page National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iran’s nuclear programs was coordinated and written by former State Department political and intelligence analysts — not by more seasoned members of the U.S. intelligence community, Newsmax has learned.

Its most dramatic conclusion — that Iran shut down its nuclear weapons program in 2003 in response to international pressure — is based on a single, unvetted source who provided information to a foreign intelligence service and has not been interviewed directly by the United States.

Newsmax sources in Tehran believe that Washington has fallen for “a deliberate disinformation campaign” cooked up by the Revolutionary Guards, who laundered fake information and fed it to the United States through Revolutionary Guards intelligence officers posing as senior diplomats in Europe.”

Outside of News Max, why has the media been so willing to not disclose that little piece of “inconvient truth”? I’ll tell you why, because the ommission of that fact would harpoon the media’s official line that “Iran is not a threat”. Look at how the washington Post headlined its lead article on the NIE report: “A Blow to Bush’s Tehran Policy”.

IMHO, this NIE report is nothing more than a “blue smoke and miorrors attempt” by the US State Department, to do a foreign policy “end run” around a sitting (and lame duck) Republican president. As Pamela at Atlas Shrugs stated: “At war with ourselves. Freakin scary considering the stakes”. More here. *L* KGS

Note: To understand more on how career US diplomats think and actually work against their own government, read the interview of former US ambassador to the UN, John Bolton by my dear friend Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs.

Note: While taking my dog for a walk this evening, I couldn’t help but to laugh out loud when the thought of N.Korea being came to mind. Keskisuomalainen “ace” reporter, Juhana Lepoluoto, actually believes that the negotiations with the N.Koreans are a blueprint for dealing with the Iranians, though the N.Korean’s are busy proliferating nuke technology to the Syrians.

Yeah ….negotiations with unreasonable people will produce reasonble solutions,….yeah right.

Thanks for this information! I was initially suspicious, because I received the information from “Party media” (Yle, HS etc). Looks like my suspicions were not entirely unfounded.

Of course, the issue was covered by Pekka “Psycho” Mykkänen of Helsingin Sanomat. Even the title is priceless: Irak jäänee Bushin ja Cheneyn viimeiseksi sodaksi (Iraq will likely remain the last war of Bush and Cheney).

Tarkan käsityksen puuttuessa Bush ja Cheney ovat voineet lietsoa Iranin vastaista ilmapiiriä, mutta nyt se käy vaikeammaksi.

I agree fellas, the media has a nack for “dropping the ball” on just about every big name story that comes to mind.

You guys tell me, if the Keskisuomalainen is supposedly a Central party paper, thereby “conservative”, why does it behave as if it were an extreme Left wing rag?

There’s No Common Cultural Legacy For The Alt-Right

Still, is there something to it? Is there a common heritage that will cover El Greco and Hume and Dostoyevsky? Is there one that can include the Jacobites and the Jacobins? There is, but it is not racial, and white supremacists reject it because it rejects them. The unifying heritage of Europe is religious and philosophical. It is Jerusalem and Athens, in one famous formulation. Christian religion and Greek philosophy, filtered through Roman law and culture, are the foundation of European culture. The tensions, agreements, developments and settlements between these have shaped the Western world, and these roots of Western civilization are not congenial to white supremacy.

Christianity is universal in its message and Jewish in its origins. For centuries after its founding, Christianity’s center was the Mediterranean world, including Asia Minor and North Africa. Christianity has never been defined by race, and locally-grown racist heresies are only sustainable among those ignorant of Christianity’s teachings, origins and history.

Greek philosophy is likewise ill-suited to serve as a basis for white identity. It is either too universal (addressing the human condition in general) or too local—none of us live as citizens of an ancient Greek polis. Later philosophical developments in Europe, such as the philosophies of the Enlightenment, likewise tend to be too universal for white supremacists seeking a tribal identity. As for the scientific revolution that developed within Western culture (albeit with much borrowed from outside Europe), math doesn’t care what color someone is.

"More here"

War is being waged against Western culture from within which is in essence a war against Christianity and its moral origins in the Hebrew Bible. By attacking these Biblical foundations in the name of reason and human rights, the culture warriors of secularism are sawing off the branch on which they sit. The only way to defend Western civilisation is to reaffirm and restore its Biblical foundations. My argument is a development of ideas I first explored in my 2012 book The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth and Power.

We are living in an era which extols reason, science and human rights. These are said to be essential for progress, a civilised society and the betterment of humanity. Religion is said to be their antithesis, the source instead of superstitious mumbo-jumbo, oppression and backward-thinking.

Some of this hostility is being driven by the perceived threat from Islamic terrorism and the Islamisation of Western culture. However, this animus against religion has far deeper roots and can be traced back to what is considered the birthplace of Western reason, the 18th-century Enlightenment.

Actually, it goes back specifically to the French Enlightenment. In England and Scotland, the Enlightenment developed reason and political liberty within the framework of Biblical belief. In France, by contrast, anti-clericalism morphed into fundamental hostility to Christianity and to religion itself.

“Ecrasez l’infame,” said Voltaire (crush infamy) — the infamy to which he referred being not just the Church but Christianity, which he wanted to replace with the religion of reason, virtue and liberty, “drawn from the bosom of nature”.

Perfecting society

But this Enlightenment did not remove religion so much as pervert it. It took millenarian fantasies, the idea that the perfection of the world was at hand, and it secularised them. Instead of God producing heaven on earth, it would be mankind which would bring that about. Reason would create the perfect society and “progress” was the process by which utopia would be attained.
