Ahmadinejad lays it on the line:"It is deeply disastrous to witness that some presidential or premier nominees in some big countries have to visit these people, take part in their gatherings, swear their allegiance and a commitment to their interests, in order to attain financial or media support," Ahmadinejad said.
"This means that the great people of America and various nations of Europe need to obey the demands and wishes of a small number of acquisitive and invasive people. These nations are spending their dignity and resources on the crimes, and occupations, and the threats of the Zionist network against their will," he added.
While he avoided past threats to attack Israel, Ahmadinejad said that the "Zionist network's" days are numbered.
The FBI has begun an investigation into four major US financial institutions caught up in the current financial crisis, US media say.
Investigators are reportedly examining possible fraud by mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the failed bank Lehman Brothers and insurer AIG.
Top managers at those firms are also being investigated, the reports say.
In the last year, as the US housing market slumped, the FBI began a broad inquiry across the financial sector.
It was prompted by concerns over the way high risk, "sub-prime" mortgages were being sold.
It has been looking at mortgage lenders who sold home loans to buyers on low or unpredictable incomes, and also the investment banks that packaged these loans and sold them on.
The slump in the US housing market has resulted in billions of dollars of losses for these banks and turmoil in world credit markets.
Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and AIG are all being bailed out by the US government following bankruptcy fears.
Lehman Brothers, a top investment bank, has filed for bankruptcy protection.
The FBI investigation into these four companies is at a preliminary stage, the reports say.
Last week FBI Director Robert Mueller said more than 20 large financial firms were already under investigation.

Here: Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said in an interview broadcast Sunday that Latin America needs strong friendship with Russia to help reduce U.S. influence and keep peace in the region. The interview aired as a Russian Navy squadron prepared to sail to Venezuela. Venezuela recently hosted a pair of Russian strategic bombers and is preparing to conduct a joint naval exercise with Russia. Russian media say Chavez plans to visit Moscow Friday, his second trip in just over two months.
"Not only Venezuela, but Latin America as a whole, needs friends like Russia now as we are shedding this (U.S.) domination," Chavez told Russia's Vesti 24 television. "We need Russia for economic and social development, for all-around support, for the life of the peoples of our continent, for peace."

WASHINGTON — The Bush administration on Saturday formally proposed a vast bailout of financial institutions in the United States, requesting unfettered authority for the Treasury Department to buy up to $700 billion in distressed mortgage-related assets from the private firms."The wizards of the Whoremaster’s 'reifdom,' i.e., the accountants and economists, immersed in quantification and reification, peer into their crystal balls (don’t go there!) and speak of the future. They cast their spells, recite their incantations, and work their magic, but little else. Such and such will or will not happen based upon what we believe others will believe concerning what we believe. This is wisdom? These are the people we listen to?"
"For the average American, this is what they will experience. The price of food and oil are going to skyrocket due to hyperinflation. The only way they can possibly pay for all these bailouts is to inflate the money supply. This means hyperinflation in America like you had in Germany in the 1920s. This is what the average American will experience: destitution, poverty, social unrest due to flagrant bank mismanagement - and it could have been avoided. But unfortunately the banks in the USA are run by greedy, insane private marketeers and this is the result." ...
Israeli military and naval commanders were taken by surprise by Rear Adm. Andrei Baranov's disclosure that 10 Russian warships are already anchored at the Syrian port of Tartus, DEBKAfile’s military sources report. Moscow and Damascus have worked fast to put in place the agreement reached in Moscow on Sept. 12 by Russian navy commander, Adm. Vladimir Wysotsky and Syrian naval commander Gen. Taleb al-Barri to provide the Russian fleet with a long-term base at Syrian ports. Israel was not aware that this many vessels were involved in the deal.
What most worries Israeli military leaders is an earlier announcement by Adm. Wysotsky that Russia’s Mediterranean assets would subjected to its Black Sea fleet command, thereby placing Russia’s warships near Israel’s shores at the service of Moscow’s contest against the US and NATO in the Caucasian. It is feared that Israel will be dragged into another cold war.
Rear Adm. Baranov disclosed that the warships in Tartus had brought engineering crews to widen and dredge the harbor to accommodate additional, fleet vessels. The crews were also working on expanding Latakia, another Syrian port, possibly for aircraft carriers or guided missile cruisers.
The Russians are making no secret of their intention of using their naval presence in Syrian ports as a deterrent to a possible Israeli air strike against Syria.
If this report is accurate, it means that a process has begun that will result in the death of the New World Order.
Not everyone is ready to embrace the idea of the multiverse. At one point, Perimeter Institute physicist John Moffat – known for his work on general relativity, Einstein’s theory of gravity – told the audience that the idea of multiple universes “has come up often in science fiction – and that’s where it belongs.” Imagining unseen universes “is not the kind of science we’ve been doing since Galileo,” he said. Several presenters addressed whether the idea of the multiverse can ever be subjected to experimental testing.
"What has become clear is that the legitimate goal of rebuilding Russia has taken a dark turn - with the rollback of personal freedoms, the arbitrary enforcement of the law [and] the pervasive corruption at various levels of Russian society," she said. Russia's leaders were risking the future progress of the Russian people, she said, declaring that Russia's leaders "are putting Russia on a one-way path to self-imposed isolation and international irrelevance".In a 40-minute speech to a large gathering of Russian and German business executives Tuesday night, Schröder covered German, European and Russian politics, but omitted even the customary reference to the importance of the trans-Atlantic relationship.
Schröder, now an executive on the payroll of a Russian-German energy consortium dominated by Gazprom, the Russian state-owned energy monopoly, is at the center of a debate about whether the country hews to its post-1945 ties to Washington, or shifts more toward Moscow, maintaining in effect equal warmth or distance from both.
Schröder said that, if anything, Europe and Russia need each other more than ever - Europe for its energy supplies from Russia and Russia for technological and other European support in its bid to modernize.
Only if the European Union works much more closely with Russia can Europe truly become a global player, he said. "Russia is a European country," he said. "There is huge opportunity for us."
The debate over the stance of Germany - a decades-old discussion in the country that straddled East and West in the Cold War - has intensified since Schröder's former top aide and now foreign minister, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, was tapped 10 days ago as the Social Democrat challenger to Chancellor Angela Merkel in elections next year.
German media close to the Social Democrats have reported that Schröder played a role in persuading Steinmeier to stand against Merkel.
Steinmeier was chief of staff of Schröder's office when he was chancellor, between 1998 and 2005. During that time, he was intimately involved in devising a foreign policy of forging particularly close relations with Russia and China while weakening ties with the United States.
That shift in German foreign policy convinced Poland, the Czech Republic and the Baltic States of the need to increase their ties with the Americans rather than rely on a weakened and divided European Union. Merkel, who narrowly defeated Schröder in September 2005, has since rebalanced the relationship with the United States and Russia.
In his Dresden speech, Schröder criticized the United States for going ahead with basing interceptors in Poland and radars in the Czech Republic for its missile shield system because this could undermine the stability of Europe.
He also criticized the United States for supporting Georgia and its leader, President Mikheil Saakashvili, whom Schröder said was very "unintelligent" in trying to regain the breakaway enclave of South Ossetia last month.
Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, makes a sound distinction here:Mr. Ahmadinejad has long been seen as a threat to Israel, especially since he angered the West and Jews worldwide in 2005 when he repeated a slogan from the early days of the revolution, saying, “Israel should be wiped off the map.” [This is a lie: see here.]
But on Thursday, he defended his vice president for tourism, Esfandiar Rahim Mashai, who created a storm of protest among legislators and senior clerics over the summer when he said that Iran was a friend of the Israeli people. Analysts viewed Mr. Ahmadinejad’s public support for Mr. Mashai’s remarks as a sign that Iran might be softening its position amid increasing pressure by the West over its nuclear program.
“It looks like the remarks are a policy,” said Saeed Leylaz, a political analyst in Tehran. “Despite the opposition, they were repeated, no apology was made and the president supported it today.”
In mid-July, Mr. Mashai was quoted as saying that Iran was “a friend of Israeli people.” He then repeated the comment in August, saying there was “no hostility toward the Israeli people. ...
The report, leaked on Monday, says the shelling may have been a war crime.
It criticises an Israeli inquiry that concluded that the shelling was due to a flawed artillery system.
The Archbishop also criticised the international community for "failing to fulfil its role in respect of the suffering of the people of Gaza".
"It is the silence of the international community in the face of what is happening there which most offends. This silence begets complicity," he said.

Zionist-Jews & Double Standards:
But meanwhile, the Judeo-plutocracy just keeps right on rolling:U.S. Will Supply Israel 1,000 Bunker BombsAnd how much would you care to wager that Israel "bought" these 1,000 bunker buster bombs with American taxpayer money?
Sept. 14: The US would supply Israel with 1,000 bunker buster bombs despite concerns in Washington regarding a possible preparation by the Jewish state to target Iran’s nuclear facilities.
The Pentagon has announced that United States will provide Israel with 1,000 units of Guided Bomb Unit-39 (GBU-39), a special weapon developed for penetrating fortified facilities located deep underground, daily Ha’aretz reported.
Each of the bombs weigh 113 kg, but its penetration capability equals that of a one tonne bomb.
The GBU-39 would significantly boost Israel’s firepower as a single aircraft can carry four of them at a time instead of a single one-tonne bomb as it used to earlier in the past, the report said.
During demonstrations, the GBU-39, labelled by manufacturer Boeing as a Small Diameter Bomb (SDB), has successfully penetrated more than 1.8 metres of thick reinforced concrete with a 23-kg warhead.
The GPS-guided weapon is said to have a 50 per cent probability of hitting its intended target within five-eight meters, minimising collateral damage.
The estimated value for the bomb’s GPS version, which military experts have called the latest development in the bunker-buster line, is around $70,000 to 90,000 for each bomb, the report said.

Read the following quote carefully:
But that's okay; what the hell: knock-off another six-pack, watch the game, and then whack-off to internet porn - ain't it great to be free?
The American people cannot have informed opinions on any issue of vital importance when the media is so controlled and manipulated by Jewish extremists who support Israel’s agenda over America’s true interests. War with Iran would be catastrophic; even more catastrophic for America than the “War for Israel” in Iraq, a war started by Jewish extremists such as Perle and Wolfowitz and aided by their powerful allies in American mainstream media. In addition to Mike Wallace, the executive producers of 60 minutes are Jeff Fager and Don Hewitt, dedicated Jewish supporters of the Zionist State.
60 Minutes is famous for supposedly exposing corruption and deceit, yet as this C-Span tape shows, 60 Minutes itself is corrupt. Americans must demand a free and unbiased media in the United States, not simply one huge propaganda tool for the Zionist agenda.
Chavez frequently calls the United States an aggressive empire and has aligned himself with Russia. This week he allowed two Russian long range bombers to land in Venezuela and Moscow is also sending warships for naval exercises later this year in its first such move since the Cold War.
