Rightwing US think tank outlines Iran destabilization plan
March 09, 2010 - 11:00 am EST
There is no shortage of US think-tanks urging aggression against Iran. If it is not individuals like Daniel Pipes, a hardcore zionist and Islamophobe as well as his fellow travellers urging the bombing of Iran, there are think-tanks demanding similar action. Every group, think tank or individual that believes in crippling Iran is also, not surprisingly a staunch supporter of the zionist state of Israel and its criminal behavior.
The latest in a series of such attacks has come from the Heritage Foundation, an extreme rightwing American group. In its latest outpouring of venom against Iran, the Heritage Foundation has outlined a 10-point plan, "Ten Steps to a Free Iran", to undermine the Islamic Republic of Iran. It not only calls for sanctions but also support for opposition groups inside Iran as well as financial backing for Iranian opposition media outlets outside to undermine the Islamic Republic.
The Heritage Foundation, of course, would not call this undermining Iran; instead, it says that such media outlets would educate Iranians about "genuine representative democracy". Presumably, the Heritage Foundation has in mind the kind of " genuine representative democracy" practised in the US where two successive elections were stolen by George Bush (2000 and 2004), where Barack Obama was elected through the financial handouts of big corporations to whom he immediately shoveled nearly $1 trillion after they had wrecked the US economy, and where US congressmen and women are in the pocket of the zionist lobby.
Among the steps the Heritage Foundation has urged against Iran are to "help opposition groups communicate privately with each other using Web-based groups outside Iran and Bluetooth technology that can evade government surveillance and censorship;" that "US intelligence services should provide covert financial and material assistance to democratic opposition groups to strengthen opposition to the regime, similar to the help extended to the Polish Solidarity movement during the Cold War;" and "Target covert actions to discredit the regime. Intelligence services should distribute printouts of Iranian officials' foreign bank accounts and other assets and pictures of their mansions and villas outside Iran to drive a wedge between the corrupt regime and the people."
The Heritage Foundation also calls for the US to develop a new generation of nuclear weapons and to aid allies with military hardware to undermine the Islamic Republic. The US already has the biggest arsenal of nuclear weapons yet more are being urged despite the fact that the US has been leading a campaign to deny Iran even its legitimate use of nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
