US Treasury Dept imposes new Iran-related sanctions on 2 individuals and a company in Iraq
RT | June 12, 2019
The US Treasury Department announced sanctions on Wednesday against two Iraq-based persons and one company, for their alleged links to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.
Makki Kazim and Mohammed Hussein, along with the South Wealth Resources Company have all been hit with secondary sanctions, according to the Treasury Department website.
Secondary sanctions form a major part of US international statecraft, cutting off businesses and individuals from the US financial system and tarnishing their reputations with international businesses and banks. A number of measures can be enforced against targeted individuals, ranging from limiting their ability to do business in the US to prohibiting all US parties from conducting business with them.

The Leo Frank Case and the Origins of the ADL
BY RON UNZ • UNZ REVIEW • MARCH 27, 2023
About a week ago both the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal devoted considerable space to the coverage of “Parade,” the revival of a 1998 Broadway musical on the 1915 killing of Leo Frank, a Jewish factory manager in Atlanta, Georgia, arguably the most famous lynching in American history.
Frank had been convicted and sentenced to death for the rape and murder of a young girl in his employ and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) was founded in an effort to save his life. After numerous legal appeals failed, the state’s governor eventually commuted Frank’s sentence and a group of outraged citizens responded by hanging Frank. The incident was portrayed in both the musical and the associated media coverage as a particularly horrifying example of American anti-Semitism.

However, the actual facts of that case were quite different than that and in 2018 I’d discussed them at considerable length as part of a longer article. Given the recently renewed spotlight on the issue and the fascinating implications of the true story, I’ve decided to extract and republish my analysis in hopes of bringing it to wider current attention. … continue

It might be a good idea for the USA to stop obsessing about Iran(And boot Bolton out), and just go back to being a Reasonable World Citizen. Iran is NOT the Problem……The Military Industrial Complex IS the problem.

I note the words “alleged links.” That “alleged” is apparently all that is needed to allow the goddam Zionist/dual citizens/neocons/Israel-firsters who populate this Treasury unit to put the screws to anyone and his or her brother or sister–as long as they are Muslim Arab or Muslim Irani. No screws applied, of course, to the foremost state-terroristic entity around the globe: the effing Jewish-Zionist monster so-called Israel [recall the just-passed anniversary of the massacre of the USS Liberty and the myriad crimes-against-humanity terrorism inflicted serially on the hapless Palestinians].
Re “US international statecraft”: how novel (of RT, yet…tongue in cheek, one hopes) to apply this generally elegant and benign term to a regime (badly needing change) that has the “(un)diplomatic-statecraft” ilk of Pompeo, Pence, and Bolton for starters (not to mention Trump and the cohort of Zionist Jews who surround him and applaud-and-exploit his own decidedly non-“statecraft” bullying persona and tactics.
