Zimbabwe denies uranium deal with Iran
Press TV – April 27, 2010
Zimbabwe has denied reports that it has signed an agreement allowing Tehran to mine uranium reserves in exchange for Harare’s access to oil from Iran.
A report by the UK-based Daily Telegraph claimed on Saturday that a deal had been reached between the two countries under which Iran would be allowed to mine potential uranium deposits in Zimbabwe to provide fuel for its nuclear reactors and in exchange Zimbabwe would get oil from Iran. The report said that the agreement was sealed secretly last month during a visit to Tehran by a close aide to Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe.
Industry and Commerce Minister Welshman Ncube on Monday rejected the report, saying there was no evidence suggesting that Zimbabwe had such deposits.
“It’s not true. No such agreement was signed,” said Ncube.
“There is no certainty that Zimbabwe has uranium deposits. You first have to prove that there are uranium deposits and that has not been done,” Reuters quoted him as saying. This comes as the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad paid an official visit to Zimbabwe last week.
During his visit, he met his counterpart Robert Mugabe, attended the official opening of Zimbabwe’s International Trade Fair and signed a number of trade and cooperation agreements in the areas of banking, finance and insurance. The Iranian president told reporters before his departure that the visit came as part of his administration’s plan to consolidate ties with African countries.

Revisionist History Books Banned by Amazon
By Michael Hoffman • Unz Review • August 25, 2018
On August 13, 2018 Amazon banned Judaism’s Strange Gods: Revised and Expanded, which was published in 2011 and sold by Amazon for the past seven years. Along with the much larger study, Judaism Discovered, (sold by Amazon since 2008), it has had an international impact both as a softcover volume as well as a digital book circulating on the Amazon Kindle.
Sales to India, Japan and the Middle East were rapidly growing. The digital Kindle format is particularly important for the free circulation of books because it bypasses borders and customs and hurdles over the prohibitive cost of shipping which the US Postal Service imposed on mail to overseas destinations several years ago (eliminating economical surface mail).
Amazon has also banned The Great Holocaust Trial: The Landmark Battle for the Right to Doubt the West’s Most Sacred Relic (sold by Amazon since 2010).
These volumes maintain a high standard of scholarly excellence, had a majority of favorable reviews by Amazon customers, are free of hatred and bigotry and have sold thousands of copies on Amazon. Out of the blue we were told that suddenly “Amazon KDP” discovered that the books are in violation of Amazon’s “content guidelines.” Asking for documentation of the charge results in no response. It is enough that the accusation has been tendered. The accused are guilty until proved innocent, although how proof of innocence is presented is anyone’s guess. There is no appeals process. This is what is known as “Tech Tyranny.”
There is a nationwide purge underway that amounts to a new McCarthyism — blacklisting and banning politically incorrect speech and history books under the rubric of “hate speech” accusations, initiated in part by two Zionist thought police organizations, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). It’s a flimsy pretext for censoring controversial scholarly books that can’t be refuted.
In addition to our books being hate-free, we note that there are hundreds of hate-filled Zionist and rabbinic books brimming with ferocious bigotry for Palestinians, Germans and goyim in general, which are sold by Amazon. … continue

The only ‘unfortunate’ part of this, is that with Faux NOIZE out there pumping bullshit into the ears of so many ignorant and stupid f**k american’s heads, it wouldn’t surprise me that this puppet in the whore house will still attack Iran immediately after the November mid term elections are over with.
to you high ranking military officers out there, if this puppet does order an attack on Iran, it is your DUTY to immediately ARREST THE SON OF A BITCH and then weld his sorry ass in a Leavenworth, KS prison cell until you can try him for TREASON.
and this goes for his zionist veep, another Israeli knesset supporter.
Once again, it is getting close to the time when for the good of the country, sane, rational minds in the military need to consider marching up the steps of the whore house and arresting people for treason.
if they attack Iran before that’s done, there’ll be hell to pay globally, not just here in the U.S.
do your duty, you guys who aren’t owned and operated by the Military Industrial Complex who wear a uniform.
DO YOUR DUTY and PROTECT THE U.S. CONSTITUTION!!!!!!

While Iranian uranium deposits are not rich, they have more than enough for their needs. There certainly is no need to go to Zimbabwe to get more. Clearly this is a repeat of the rhetoric used about Iraq’s quest for yellowcake from Niger – and more than likely for the same reason!
