"Iranian President Warns Nations against Bullying Powers' Plots" (Fars News-Iran)

Another of the many almost-identical articles based on Ahmadinejad speeches. The Iranian Press turns these out like so many snowflakes. It isn't just that Iran makes hostile and threatening statements about Israel--it projects a suffocating paranoid conspiracist world-view with Israel as its central obsession. Yes, the most obvious comparison is to the Nazi world-view. It isn't an accident that Holocaust-denial, which Ahmadinejad is known for, is the neo-Nazi propaganda strategy of recent years.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad blasted the attempts made by the arrogant and colonialist states against other countries, and warned against the bullying powers' new plots to loot the world nations.

The bullying powers are trying to continue their previous approach in new forms, the President said they are trying to pave the way for looting the nations' wealth and resources.

He described the democracy claimed by the West as a big lie and a deception, stressing that democracy in its western version is the humiliation of the mankind because it is only serving the interests of capitalists and Zionists in the name of people.

Ahmadinejad said hegemonic powers are trying to manipulate the influence of media and use unfaithful elements to return to the Middle East and regain dominance over the region.

He made the remarks, addressing the opening session of the 25th International Islamic Unity Conference, and said regional states should be vigilant since big powers are trying to save and revive the Zionist regime.

Ahmadinejad had earlier blasted the attempts made by the arrogant and colonialist powers against the other countries, and urged the world nations to become united against the bullying powers.

He also reiterated that independent states by adopting rational stands can thwart plots of their enemies.

The global arrogance is doing its best to save the Zionist regime through suppression of governments and nations that are against the West's policies, he said in March.

Ahmadinejad underlined the need to adopt a unified stand in dealing with the bullying powers, and said the arrogant and colonial powers under the guise of backing nations pursue their ill-wishes.

Note to those who like to argue that Ahmadinejad does not wield the real power in Iran: That's true, but he is a good spokesman, presumably, for those who do.
