Trump says he wants to go slower on sanctions for Iran's oil
- U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said he wants to impose sanctions on Iran’s oil gradually, citing concerns about shocking energy markets and causing global price es.
“With the oil, it’s very interesting.
We have the toughest sanctions ever imposed, but on oil we want to go a little bit slower because I don’t want to drive (up) the oil prices in the world,” he told reporters before flying to a campaign event.
“This has nothing to do with Iran...
I could get the Iran oil down to zero immediately but it would cause a shock to the market. I don’t want to lift oil prices.”

Louis Farrakhan, ethno-nationalist, Trump supporter.
Farrakhan likes Trump's war on his enemies -- the FBI and the DOJ.
“God has him here!” the Nation of Islam leader said, referring to Trump during the morning event at the Watergate Hotel ballroom, which was filled to capacity with more than 500 people, mostly Nation members and other Farrakhan supporters.
praised Trump in 2016 for turning down money from "the Jews"
Trump “is the only member who has stood in front of the Jewish community and said ‘I don’t want your money,’” Farrakhan said in a sermon he delivered this week. “Any time a man can say to those who control the politics of America, ‘I don’t want your money,’ that means you can’t control me. And they can’t afford to give up control of the presidents of the United States.”
Despite his commendation for the billionaire businessman, Farrakhan did not endorse him. “Not that I’m for Mr. Trump,” he added, “but I like what I’m looking at.”
guess it depends which way the wind is blowing with Minister Farrakhan
Good to see Trumpers finally turning on one of their own.
is that even true though? I thought Trump took Sheldon Adelson money.
can't disagree with much of what nig Faraka said tbqh
he's right on most counts
except of course on the total destruction of USA
USA!
USA!
USA!
I'm not sure what Farrakhan was talking about, he's also veracity challenged.
Yeah I just checked and Adelson has thrown tons of PAC money towards Trump, so he’s definitely in bed with the Jews who Farrakhan hates
anti-Semites are really bad at determining who is/isn’t in bed with “the Jews”
Nice oil tanker, it would be a shame if anything happened to it:
"Should there be an accident involving an Iranian tanker, there is simply no way these Iranian insurance companies can cover the loss," Hook said.

In supporting the MEK, Chris bears more than a passing resemblance to neocons and globalists.lol Chris lionizing the MEK, a Marxist cult
Marxist roots:
At the time, the MEK, whose members were largely idealistic middle-class students, combined Islamism with Marxist doctrine. They reinterpreted the Qur’anic passages that undergirded their Shia faith as injunctions to socialise the means of production, eliminate the class system and promote the struggles of Iran’s ethnic minorities. Steeped in thinkers such as Frantz Fanon and Régis Debray, they expressed solidarity with national liberation movements in Algeria, Cuba, Palestine and Vietnam. Quoting Lenin’s famous pamphlet, the MEK posed the question: “What Is to Be Done?” “Our answer is straightforward,” the MEK wrote: “Armed struggle.”
Revolutionary pedigree:
When Rajavi emerged from prison in 1979, three weeks before the Iranian revolution, he was the undisputed leader of Iran’s most deadly underground rebel group.
The MEK played an important role in the 1979 revolution, seizing the imperial palace and doing much of the fighting to neutralise the police and the army.
Cult-like organization:
Isolated inside its Iraqi base, under Rajavi’s tightening grip, the MEK became cult-like. A report commissioned by the US government, based on interviews within Camp Ashraf, later concluded that the MEK had “many of the typical characteristics of a cult, such as authoritarian control, confiscation of assets, sexual control (including mandatory divorce and celibacy), emotional isolation, forced labour, sleep deprivation, physical abuse and limited exit options”.“We were far away from the world,” one member, who only escaped the MEK after the move to Albania, told me. “We had no information. No television, no radio.” Instead, within the camp, they had “Mojahedin television”, which consisted of looped speeches by Maryam and Massoud Rajavi, played “all day long”.Rajavi told his followers that the failure of Eternal Light was not a military blunder, but was instead rooted in the members’ thoughts for their spouses; their love had sapped their will to fight. In 1990, all couples inside the camp were ordered to divorce – and women had their wedding rings replaced by pendants engraved with Massoud’s face. Spouses were separated, and their children were sent to be “adopted” by MEK supporters in Europe.
MEK commanders demanded that all members publicly reveal any errant sexual thoughts. Manouchelur Abdi, a 55-year-old who also left the MEK in Albania, told me that the confession sessions used to take place every morning. Even feelings of love and friendship were outlawed, he says. “I would have to confess that I missed my daughter,” he says. “They would shout at me. They would humiliate me. They would say that my family was the enemy and missing them was strengthening the hand of the mullahs in Tehran.The testimony of these recent defectors follows earlier reports from groups such as Human Rights Watch, which reported former members witnessed “beatings, verbal and psychological abuse, coerced confessions, threats of execution and torture that in two cases led to death”.
Forced sterilization:
“They said I had a cyst,” she told me. “But they also took out my womb. They told me that it meant that I had an even stronger connection to our ideological leader.” Hedayati, who left the group in Iraq and now lives in Norway, says she was never sexually abused, but was “brainwashed” by the group into divorcing her husband, and alleges that more than 100 other women were sterilised by MEK doctors. “I always ask myself why they did this to us,” Bagheri said. “Of course, to take away our futures.”
Backed by Saddam in Iraq, attacked its own countrymen FOR TWENTY YEARS:
For almost two decades, under their embittered leader Massoud Rajavi, the MEK staged attacks against civilian and military targets across the border in Iran and helped Saddam suppress his own domestic enemies. But after siding with Saddam – who indiscriminately bombed Iranian cities and routinely used chemical weapons in a war that cost a million lives – the MEK lost nearly all the support it had retained inside Iran. Members were now widely regarded as traitors.
Helped Saddam crush Kurds and other domestic opposition:
“Take the Kurds under your tanks, and save your bullets for the Iranian revolutionary guards.” The MEK vehemently denies it participated in Saddam’s campaigns to put down the Shia and Kurdish rebellions, but an Iraqi human rights tribunal has indicted MEK leaders for their role in suppressing the uprisings.
Paid off John Bolton:
John Bolton, who has made multiple appearances at events supporting the MEK, is estimated to have received upwards of $180,000. According to financial disclosure forms, Bolton was paid $40,000 for a single appearance at the Free Iran rally in Paris in 2017.
GWB delisted the MEK, Obama protected the it from Nouri Al Maliki and found it safe haven in Albania:
Daniel Benjamin, who was then the head of counter-terrorism at the state department, told me that the US decided to remove the MEK from the list of foreign terrorist organisations not because it believed it had abandoned violence, but to “avoid them all getting killed” if it remained in Iraq. After the MEK was no longer designated a terrorist group, the US was able to convince Albania to accept the 2,700 remaining members – who were brought to Tirana on a series of charter flights between 2014 and 2016.
Too weak to topple the mullahs, no domestic cons uency:
https://www.theguardian.com/news/201...e-trump-rajaviAnalysts agree that the MEK lacks the capacity or support to overthrow the Iranian government – as even Bolton and Pompeo would surely concede. “They are probably smart enough to know that this group is not democratic and anyway has no cons uency inside Iran,”
IAEA says Iran is still holding up its end of the bargain.

In the USA, Capitalists' for-profit health care.
Fascist for-profit America fleeces and screws it own people, so no problem slaughtering Ms in other countries.
american war propaganda in full swing
Oh noes but but they have missiles
By reneging on the JPCOA -- which Iran is still in compliance with -- the USA has violated the very same UN resolution.
Bibi calls shenanigans.
But but we should only be the ones allowed to own misslies. We only salughtered millions of kids, you will cause worse destruction
Don't cry when Trump completely pulls out of the Middle East.But but we should only be the ones allowed to own misslies. We only salughtered millions of kids, you will cause worse destruction
why should Trump withdraw US forces from the middle east when Iran is menacing our ally with multi-stage rockets?
