Wow. Thank you for posting this, Tony. I consider it a bombshell, even though it’s eighteen months old, and even though it’s by Gareth Porter (an Anti-Zionist-Zionist who condemns Mark Glenn as an “anti-Semite”).
Until this post, I did not know that Nisman based his 2006 warrant for the arrest of top Iranian officials on the claims of MEK members, who will fabricate any lie to vilify Iran. The MEK even assassinated Iranian president Mohammad-Ali Rajai, plus Prime Minister Mohammad-Javad Bahonar, both on 30 Aug 1981.
Readers may recall that the MEK bribed so many government officials in so many nations that all the officials should have been imprisoned for giving material support to terrorists. Therefore, to protect all these corrupt officials, the EU took the MEK off its terrorist list in Jan 2009. The USA did it in Sep 2012. Canada in Dec 2012.
Here’s another factor to consider in the Argentina situation…
Iran’s government after the 1979 revolution was anti-imperialist and anti-Israel. Nothing much changed in the 1980s, because Iran was locked in a bloody war with Iraq. But by 1988 the Iranian masses were weary of eight years of war, and they started listening to rich Iranian oligarchs like Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani. Like the current president Hassan Rouhani (also a rich oligarch, and also pro-USA), Mr. Rafsanjani ran for the presidency on promises of getting Western sanctions lifted, and making life better for the Iranian masses.
The USA called Rafsanjani a moderate and a “reformer,” because Rafsanjani wanted to join the “world community” by crushing the Iranian masses with neoliberalism, and normalizing relations with Israel.
Opposing Rafsanjani and his fellow oligarchs were the Revolutionary Guard, who were (and still are) anti-imperialists. And yet, the masses were so weary and desperate that they elected Rafsanjani in August 1989. Mr. Rafsanjani did everything he could to normalize relations with the USA and Israel, but he could never get the Revolutionary Guard completely out of the way.
Despite all this, Alberto Nisman in Argentina claimed that Rafsanjani (while President of Iran) ordered the 1994 bombing of the AMIA center in Buenos Aires. (!!!) If you careful study Rafsanjani and his fellow oligarchs (who are all pro-Israel), you will see that this is absurd.
Indeed, the above article notes that the USA’s National Intelligence Estimate concluded that Rafsanjani had been “gradually turning away from the revolutionary excesses of the past decade … toward more conventional behavior” since taking over as president in 1989.
TRANSLATION: Rafsanjani was pro-Israel, and pro-USA. So why would he order the bombing of the AMIA center in Buenos Aires? It makes no sense.
Incidentally, Mr. Rafsanjani, the rich oligarch, was succeeded by another rich oligarch, Mohammad Khatami who held two terms (four years each). Khatami went far beyond even Rouhani’s dreams of impoverishing the Iranian masses, in order to widen the gap between the rich and the rest. The USA loved Khatami, and called him a “moderate” and a “reformer,” just like Rafsanjani. But Khatami caused so much suffering among the middle and lower classes that at the end of his term in 2005, the masses elected Ahmadinejad, who refused to worship Israel, refused to crush the masses, and refused to submit to the global money powers.
The EU, UK, and USA responded by tripling their sanctions on Iran, and calling Ahmadinejad the most evil person since Hitler.
After four years of brutal sanctions, the USA thought Iranian masses were ready to swing the other way, and vote for an oligarch as president. The oligarchs chose a puppet, Mir-Hossein Mousavi, and the USA supported him with oceans of money.
However, in the election of 12 June 2009, the masses re-elected Ahmadinejad with a whopping 62 percent of the vote, thereby enraging the USA and the Iranian oligarchs. Immediately the USA and its oligarch allies launched an attempted “color revolution” (a “green revolution”) against Ahmadinejad — but it failed.
NOTE: When I say “Iranian oligarchs,” I mean the oligarchs, plus the upper class in Iranian society. That is, I mean rich people.
In Iran, the upper class continually battles with the middle and lower classes. (Exactly like in Venezuela.)The upper class wants to “reform” Iran – i.e. make it like the USA, with bars, bikinis, blue-jeans, rap music, trashy movies, and Jew-worship.
Therefore if you research the failed “green revolution” of 2009, you will see photos of Iranians protesting Ahmadinejad, claiming that he “stole” the election. The protesters are all rich kids, who are the equivalent of the rich kids in Venezuela who constantly protest against the PSUV government.
NOTE ALSOthat the reason why the USA maintains constant sanctions against Iran and Venezuela is that both of the targeted nations have an internal struggle between the rich and the rest. The sanctions hurt mainly the lower classes. Rich people and their kids have their own grocery stores. The purpose of sanctions is to wear down the Iranian and Venezuelan masses from the outside, while the rich oligarchs wear down the masses from the inside. The masses are made to scream in pain, until they are so desperate that they will do anything for relief, even if it means voting for oligarchs that will enslave them.
If Iranian and Venezuelan society had no class divisions, then U.S. sanctions would only unite the people. Sanctions are a form of warfare, and when a people are under siege, they tend to unite in defense.
ANYWAY, back to the article above, we see that all of Nisman’s Iranian “sources” (all of them) were MEK members and other dissidents who are motivated to lie, and to vilify Iran.
That’s the takeaway point: that all of Nisman’s “Iranian sources” are proven liars.

Good read that provides overlooked information that provides alternative motivations and deeper political background context surrounding the 1994 Buenos Aires bombing and subsequent coverup.
Highly recommended.
Great articles. In this,and the comments,one can lean much. One slight observation,on Konrads wonderful most. In the USA,the Jews;expert at class manipulation,and perceptions ,use the narrow minded “Lower to Middle Class, “,the petty Bougiouse the most to control society. The follower types,who cling to the mortgaged/credit card/drugery, Jew system. They did this in Cromwells 17th Century England ,combining them with the Lower class “Levelers”. The Jew used the Lower Class excusively in France/Europe/Russia ,as a mob,than in the US Democrat Party,in USA,until they totally reoriented the system,for themselves. Religion/Economy/Culture/ all Jew Love. Now its only acceptable in the Middle Class world to be oh so Jew worshipping…where as in Iran,and Venezuala ,the Jew inticements probabaly are just from the upper types.
@ DANTE ARDENZ: You say the Jews are experts at class manipulation, and they use the middle and lower classes to control society.
I agree, and I note that Jews get power by ingratiating themselves with the upper class and the money masters. Jews help the rich to stay above the masses. In return, Jews get to be in the upper class too. Typically, Jews have ingratiated themselves with the rich by volunteering to be tax collectors, and volunteering to run bureaucracies that keep the peasants in their place.
The only time Jews get thrown out of a nation is when the upper class ceases to regard Jews and allies, and starts to regard Jews as threats. That is, when the upper class thinks that Jews threaten to take over everything (including the upper class), society unites to expel the Jews.
Until that happens, the upper class is happy to repeat Jewish lies such as the holo-hoax,™ since Jewish lies are wrapped up in the general lies that keep rich people rich.
In Iran and Venezuela, the rich oligarchs are allied with Jews and the Church against the middle and lower classes. Many Iranian oligarchs are themselves clergymen.
