Iran claims sabotage at nuclear plants
 By Middle East correspondent Matt Brown, wires
Updated September 18, 2012 08:42:57
  «The plants use centrifuges to enrich uranium to a higher concentration that be used in nuclear power plants or nuclear weapons.
Fordo worries the West most as it produces uranium of 20 per cent fissile purity, more than needed for power plants and only a short technical step from the 90 per cent needed for a warhead.» 
[where/who]

Comment; Q: How many errors?

A1: "that be used" - is what 1st caught my eye.

A2: "higher concentration ... nuclear power plants or nuclear weapons" - is an outright error (or lie, depending on skill-level of reporting - but see "supposedly professional"), referred to again below.

A3: "Fordo" - is an alternative spelling for "Fordow" - not necessarily an error, but a valuable clue, referred to again below.

A4: "Fordo worries the West most" - is 'questionable' on at least two grounds; a) just who exactly is 'the West,' and b) what business is it of theirs, or anyone else? Iran is an NPT-signatory, and has the IAEA permanently, intrusively and possibly illegally on its back. Iran can't even "Ahem" lest the IAEA says "G*d-bless!"

A5: "20 per cent ... more than needed for power plants" - is simply an outright lie, since we all know why 20% - because it's *needed* for an existing Iranian reactor, used to produce medicinal isotopes, and its fuel is running low. Iran requested outside refuelling assistance - but was blocked by the US - Iran was *forced* to 20%.

A6: "a short technical step from the 90 per cent needed for a warhead" - is perhaps technically correct - but a) that's what the intrusive IAEA has fully in its inspection remit, and b) the entire US-intelligence structure assures us that Iran is *not* known (by their own 'best' covert/intrusive 'investigations') to be proceeding in any way towards an A-bomb. Recall again "supposedly professional" reporting, paid for by our, we the people's $s - and our democratic *right* to have honest information delivered.

A7: Finally, the change from "plans" to "plants" (more below) is *proof* that AusBC fingers were busy = proof-reading at least; *all* content is presumed to be 'AusBC-approved' and so they can be held responsible for each keystroke = all content. This is, of course, the 'normal case,' but busy fingers removes any possible "Der, I didn't think" excuse.

I went searching for a possible original-article, 1st I found only 9 candidates including the AusBC one, but then found a 2nd 'error' ("plans" instead of "plants") which extended the candidate-field to ~70. I ended up reading 9 articles altogether; some from both 'batches.' Using the 'time-stamps' at time of my searches, two stood out as being the 'oldest:'

Comment 1; note: "Fordo."

Comment 2; note: "nuclear power plans." The AusBC editing spotted this (the above 2nd error) and (correctly) changed it to "nuclear power plants" - although the construct, as I pointed out above, is *factually* in error.

Iran says saboteurs cut power to nuclear plant

By Fredrik Dahl
  «The plants use centrifuges to "enrich" uranium to a higher concentration of the fissile material that be used in nuclear power plans or nuclear weapons.
Fordow worries the West most as it produces uranium of 20 percent fissile purity, more than needed for power plants and only a short technical step from the 90 percent needed for a warhead.» 
[dailystar/Lebanon]

Comment 1; note: "Fordow."

Comment 2: The AusBC uses the Ynet spelling; I'd say 'Long odds-on' that that's where Matt Brown got his copy, *especially* since his predecessor in the job = Anne Barker used to live in Israel, so I suppose Brown now does too. (Oh, *great*; AusBC gets their ME-news from the illegitimate Zionist-nest.)

Comment 3: A bit circumstantial perhaps, but AusBC prefers "per cent" (About 1,030,000 results) to "percent" (About 57,800 results) but clearly does not forbid the latter.

Comment 4: I did more work which produced more results, but the above should suffice (and IF not THEN perhaps you could try doing some research on your own?)

Added: Both 'copy candidates' originated in the ME = same time-zone; it is not clear which came 1st. Since we don't 'do' coincidences, AND preferring the publication timestamps, PLUS the fact that the article is full of (filthily lying) hasbarah, THEN I could guess that the Z-article is the source. If the shoe fits... On the other hand, preferring google's timestamps AND knowing that Israel (~75% Jews) is in the lying & theft (by murdering) business, perhaps Cohen 'lifted' Dahl's work? It's a real problem; once one perceives that the MSM+PFBCs lie to us, *we* have to do more work, calculating who we may *trust*. Trying a google-survey, I get 6 results for Cohen and 140 for Dahl (searching for the "that be used" error); both amazing and conclusive.
End added (but also see PPS).

Argument: Why does any of this matter?

A1: The illegitimate Zionist-entity Israel, more correctly the rogue-regime thereof, is driving this *persecution of Iran*. Israel squats on land/property stolen from hapless, mainly Palestinian ELO/Os; as often illegal immigrants, the Zionist, mainly people-not-from-there = by definition alien invaders, took control by murdering theft = ethnically-cleansed the area by genocidal methods (Plan Dalet, Deir Yassin massacre, all similar before, during and since, right down to the 'current moment.') They followed Jabotinsky; "the Palestinians would not agree to a Jewish majority in Israel" and "only Jewish armed force would ensure the Jewish state."

A2: Just in case you hadn't noticed, (A1) implies *permanent* war, at least as long as any Palestinians exist, wanting their land/property back. (Apparent Z-solution = kill 'em all; better would be: Revest &/ acceptable reparations + in all cases a sincere 'Sorry!')

A3: To the the point of 'permanent war,' Israel threatens their neighbours with 'assault with deadly weapons' = ~2-300 A&/H-bombs (but not 'merely' their neighbours; see the Samson Option).

A4: IF Iran got the bomb THEN the Z-threat would be 'balanced,' and after the MAD principle, ME-peace would break out. Of course, the Zs don't want that.

-=*=-

Fazit: Whatever the source, AusBC transmits, often *actively assists* pro-US, and here particularly, pro-Z propaganda. This is *not* the function of any PFBC, and since I'm an Aussie-taxpayer, not what the AusBC has *my* permission to do. In addition, also here particularly, since the illegitimate Zionist-regime is not 'merely' illegitimate but has carried out Nuremberg-class crimes against humanity (still not prosecuted = crime-scene unremedied), the AusBC makes itself accessory to *grave* crimes.

-=*end*=-

PS It should be pointed out (for any slow ones), that Iran is *fully* within its rights to enrich uranium. No ifs, ands or buts. Further, just like the laws for the rest of us, it is an offence to *threaten* assault, but the US ("All options!") and Israel threaten Iran continually. Sanctions and stuxnet etc. are also *actual* assaults, ditto illegal. The US&Z-regimes get away with it for at least two reasons (neither 'valid'), namely the SQSHsO are too cowardly to stand up for justice, and b) the people are ppp-dd'd - by the corrupt&venal MSM+PFBCs = this blog-item topic. Grrr!

^ Update, 19Sep'12; PPS

AusBC (as one media-rogue among many) pushes the crooked 'West fears Iran nuclear weapon' meme unmercifully (About 6,740,000 results; scarcely credible - but who can you trust?) Current 1st result = "Iran, Israel and the west: some home truths" by Michael Brull. In addition, you could try this:

Comment 1: What is being so coolly discussed here, is aggressive, Nuremberg-class attack = "the supreme international crime, differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole." The UN, as in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and now Syria, lifts no effective finger to restrain the war-criming aggressors.

Comment 2: "Clandestine" = secret; secrecy is more often than not a mortal enemy of the democracy-process.

3 Reasons the US and Israel are Lying About Iran
Repeated Lies Call for Repeated Truth Regarding Iran.
by Tony Cartalucci
  «As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls "for the US to establish a firm "red line" that Iran's nuclear program can't cross without risking a military response," and the West is marched ever closer to war with the Islamic Republic based on tired and repeated lies, three important points must be kept in mind.
...
1. The US and Israel admit in their own policy papers that Iran threatens Western hegemony, not Western security (let alone survival):
The very engineers of US-Israeli policy to subvert and destroy Iran, detailed in the 156 page "Which Path to Persia?" report out of the corporate-financier funded Brookings Institution, admit that Iran threatens not the security of Israel or the United States, but the hegemonic geopolitical order the West maintains over the Middle East.
...
2. The US and Israel already struck first:
By using US State Department-listed foreign terror organization (#30) Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MEK), the US and Israel have been waging years of covert war against the Iranian people.
...
3. Israel's current leaders have Wall Street-London hegemony, not Israel's self-preservation, at heart ...»

Comment: As usual, one should read the entire article.

Summary: Unlike nuclear-rogue Israel, Iran is in the NPT and respects that treaty. Even with an A-bomb (which US/CIA says Iran is *not* working on), Iran would endanger no-one, since an A-bomb would only be useful in *deterring* an attack - Iran really needs some sort of a deterrent, given a) UN corruption = no protection from there, and b) the open threats made repeatedly by the US/Z rogue-regimes.
