Surviving Capitalism (Not) : Obama promotes “historic” nuclear deal with Iran

We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

Obama promotes “historic” nuclear deal with Iran

Click here to access article by Keith Jones from World Socialist Web Site.

Yesterday’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) enshrines the sweeping concessions Iran made under the “framework” agreement reached in Lausanne, Switzerland on April 2, as well as introducing further conditions and stipulations highly advantageous to Washington.

Iran must either dismantle or roll back and freeze the key elements of its nuclear program and must submit to the most intrusive nuclear inspections regime ever devised.

Here is another very sceptical view on this deal entitled "Iran Nuclear Deal: The Real Battle Begins" by Stephen Lendman.

And finally, I recommend this article entitled "US/Israeli/Saudi ‘Behavior’ Problems" by Robert Parry who shows whose behavior is really despicable and needs to be brought under control.
