U.S. Senate Targets Iran Central Bank

Obama administration fears move could disrupt oil markets

BBC: The US Senate has unanimously approved economic sanctions on Iran targeting the country's oil industry, despite warnings the move could backfire. The measures, passed by 100 votes to nil, would ban foreign firms from doing business with the Iranian central bank. President Barack Obama has been cautious about harsher sanctions, fearing such a move could disrupt the oil markets at a time of economic uncertainty for many Americans, and alienate potential allies. US officials have also warned that depriving global markets of Iranian exports could send oil prices sharply higher, gifting Tehran a funding boost. >>>

 Thank you HG. I had no idea.

How is this new round of sanction going to effect IRI's ponzy scheme?

trying to help out.It's nothing unusual. It's just the usual ridiculous scenarios of assumptions

 

HG, you know what repels and is repugnant to every European and thinking American or Western, and you need them, you need them, (whatever they are called)and anyone educated?:

Your kind of derogatory (taneh zadan) shannanigans and other stupid primitive games:

vildemose, hamayesh

by hamsade ghadimi on

vildemose,

hamayesh bozorg is a "conference" where iranian expats are invited to iran (expenses fully paid after one is vetted) to participate in a gathering where iri officials try to illicit investments from expats to bypass any sanctions that western countries put on iri.  the last one (the second of its kind) was held this past summer.  here's the website for it: //congress.iranianshouse.ir/

they also hold sessions on how to confront western media (even places like i.com).  one of casmii cofounders, rostam pourzal, moderated such session: //registration.iranianshouse.ir/registerCong/viewPlanDetail.aspx?id=13

there was even poetry reading by ahmadinejad and mashaii talking at length about 'maktab iran' as opposed to the clergy's 'maktab islam.'


Veiled Prophet of Khorasan

Actually the best

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on

 

way to break the IRI central bank is now gone. It was to get them in on the real estate scam. You know the same on that is killing EU right now. Then not bail them out when they need it.

Now to really wreck them  send Larry Summers and the Harvard economic team. You know the one which ruined the Russian economy under Yeltsin. But he is busy wrecking America. I am being a bit sarcastic but isolating them may be a blessing.

Meanwhile the once mighty Europe is in shambles itself. Greece is so desperate as to go begging IRI for oil on credit. //www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2068510/Gr...

You summed up the sitiuation rather brilliantly. Well articulated my man. Awsome job.

Yes indeed. I even think the consortium boyz sometime get their behind wrapped around their head not knowing what the hell Kinda shi... They have gotten themselves into... :))) 

I am not that sophisticated to join the gang. It takes a certain level of Ideo-Intellectual Shmuckery (if you know what i mean) and I ain't got what it takes.

Hamsade Ghadimi, I thank you wholeheartely

by Tiger Lily on

Your post made it clear to me, why I don't get involved with your lot.

In the meantime, I can honestly say, that because of people like yourselves, anybody and everybody who happens to be Iranian in some form, except for the pleb ghahghah chah chah crowd , keeps well away from you all

in real life.

People of ultimate influence, from aerospace, lawyers specializing in genetics to medics and historians.

 

 

So, I really mean this: thank you for reconfirming my previous moral convictions. But sadly, this is at the expence of the majority of Iranian people inside and outside of Iran.

My offerings were of a lapse of sentimental judgement.

 

Good Luck to you all.

 

Again, thank you. I shall stick to the little bits of help that I can provide immediately without the dumb hassle, without airs and graces, but I shall never get involved with any of you people in any way.

by hamsade ghadimi on

doctor jan, if you just get the cliff notes from someone who has gone to 'hamayesh bozorg,' you'll get all you need to know for how to make investments and hedge bets in iran.  they've got consortiums inside consortiums inside consortiums inside ..., even more complicated than a financial derivative, so complex you'll forget whose arse you're in!  just remember when to get out before the bubble bursts or you start to grow a conscious.

Last thing on my mind, but I'll give you all a prize:

Now, go and gather the dosh. There are quite a few old school Iranian investment guys with big mokhs around, who'd help out reciprocally at the drop of a hat.

I'm live serious, Mokhangeles. We need to get there before everybody, including IMF. (No eternal hell of debt at the sacrifice of ordinairy people and all the rest of it.)

This US Senate vs Obama thing...

by Roozbeh_Gilani on

Must be confusing the heck out of Khamenei, and his "president" plus "parliament" elects' feeble minds. To him it would be like: " How could this bunch of senators who were personaly selected by Obama, disagree with him? why dont they end up in Gizmo ? Why dont they turn up on Fox TV confessing to be the spies and agents of China? Why, oh Why..."

BTW, good move by US senate. Next, I want an airtight bycott of khamenei/Ahmadinezhad's oil export.

"WHat would the opposition have done without you:))))"

 

Yeah, just look at it so far without me. 

I'm live serious about this. If any consortium wants to, I'm happy to introduce them to investment institutions that have dealt with long-standing trusts.

(To avoid the usual bickering, there is a limit of a specific amount of individual investment and there can be a consortium within a consortium...)

I'll even do a write up for each manifesto. Just get free legal consultation from one of those successful law Iranian people around.

PFFFT.

IRI's Opposition, here's your chance:

by Tiger Lily on

Get a minimum of one consortium (transnational) together now, gather a minimum of £60 grand together (that's just 60 people per consortium,with a grand, that's all you need) to get yourself a proper safe but fast investment company (of course, with a bit of off shore paddling peddling). Hedge your bets right across the market and pull out together...

Go for it! Do it, before the likes of Halliburton start to "invest". Get the country back to Iranians, eventually with co-operatives, the whole country working together for the country. 

Live and act the dream!

The triumvirate

by Fred on

The problem with the triumvirate of  Islamists/rabid anti-Semites and their likeminded lap poodles of lefty allies is that, as long as they get to relieve themselves of some of their built up venom, they are willing to sacrifice Iran and Iranians. Sorry, no more!

Known fallacy

by Fred on

Islamist Rapists have been in a state of war with Iran and Iranians for 33 years, it is time to cut off their supply of money so they can be overthrown by their victims.

The falicy accusing those who want to overtrhow the enemy of the Iranians as "warmonger" does not wash any more. Sorry!
