Russia rebuffs US threat over Iran oil deal
Top Daily Story … Press TV, Tehran
[ Editor’s Note: The US continues to do its 55-year-old hooker act, where she does not want to accept that her time has come and passed, and an adjustment to a more senior lifestyle would be in order.
The concept of blocking selected countries from accessing the international banking system for trade is the most destabilizing act that anyone has come up with in decades.
It is a financial act of war. And the result will be to push all those targeted into a bartering settlement arrangement where they have the proper mix of commodities, finished goods, technical and military assistance to swap. It also cuts the banksters out of the middle of that trading volume… forever. Let that sink in for a minute.
Do you think that the banksters and their corrupt sock-puppets in Congress, and now even in the military, would try to spin that as a national security threat to the US? Would they support the abusive employment of our military as muscle in business competition… when the US initiated the confrontation? You bet your booties they would do it, and they are.
But the big scam of all this is that we are sitting on revolutionary energy technology because the current petroleum based system is a huge energy serfdom machine.
It serves for extracting huge amounts of wealth out of everyone on the planet, making all the drug dealers look like girl scouts in comparison.
Has corporate media exposed this huge story, a classic “them against us”one? Of course they haven’t, because they were bought up, compromised and are now under the control of those running the scam.
They saw early on that the press had to be “neutralized’, and it has been. This is why you are going to see more aggressive action to muzzle alternative media. It is coming, because we are now a growing threat to their exposure, and they know it… Jim W. Dean ]

A Russian deputy foreign minister has rebuffed US warnings against Russia’s planned oil deal with Iran, saying Moscow will not be intimidated by such threats.
An increase in Russo-Iranian trade ties is a “natural process that doesn’t involve any elements of political or economic challenge to anyone,” said Sergei Ryabkov on Wednesday.
Under the deal, which is yet to be finalized, Russia will buy 500,000 barrels of Iranian oil per day in return for selling goods to Iran.
On Tuesday, US Secretary of State John Kerry said that Washington could impose sanctions if Russia and Iran move forward with the oil deal.
But Ryabkov stressed Russia’s determination to develop its ties with Iran and rejected the US threat to impose sanctions.
“We don’t think that any unilateral US sanctions, no matter whom they target, are legitimate, and we reject such a stance,” he said.
Iran and Russia signed two deals for boosting bilateral trade in February 2013. Tehran and Moscow have been using the rial and the ruble in their trade exchanges over the past two years, dropping the US dollar.
Earlier this month, Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh said the Islamic Republic is determined to raise the volume of its “economic transactions” with Russia under long-term deals.
The possible energy barter deal between Iran and Russia has provoked an angry reaction from some US senators, who have threatened to reinstate the anti-Iran sanctions eased under an interim nuclear deal signed between Tehran and the six world powers — the United States, France, Britain, Russia, China and Germany — last November.
