From U.S. Dollars to a Bascet of Curriencies
Manouchehr Mottaki interviewed by Editor-in-Chief
Dahle: - Your Excellency Mottaki, Iran is shying away from trading in US Dollars. Why is that?
Mottaki: - Central Bank Governor Valiollah Seif said last week that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had welcomed his suggestion of replacing the dollar with the euro in foreign trade, as the “dollar has no place in our transactions today”. I believe this has been a good decition by the Central Bank Governor.
Dahle: -I understand that Iran is relying on a basket of currencies, such as the Euro and the Yen.
Mottaki: -Tehran has been trying for years to move away from the dollar, although much of the country’s international trade is still conducted in dollars and ordinary Iranians use them for travel and savings.
Dahle: -I understand. Bank transactions involving the dollar are already difficult for Iran because legal risks make U.S. banks unwilling to do business with Tehran. Foreign firms can be exposed to sanctions if they do Iranian deals in dollars, even if the operations involve non-U.S. branches.
Mottaki: -France will start offering euro-denominated credits to Iranian buyers of its goods later this year to keep its trade out of reach of U.S. sanctions, the head of state-owned French investment bank Bpi-France said in February. The threat of U.S. sanctions has destabilized Iran’s foreign exchange market in recent month
Dahle: -Khamenei on Wednesday blamed foreign enemies for the “recent issues in the currency market” and asked Iran’s intelligence services to defuse the plots against the Islamic Republic. Police spokesman Saeed Montazer al-Mahdi was also quoted by ISNA saying that 39 currency exchangers have been arrested “for disrupting the market” and 80 unlicensed currency exchange shops have been shut down in recent days.
Two Foreign Ministries with totally opposing views lead to the biggest industrial scandal for Norway after the War. Norway was thrown out of the Islamic Republic in 2003, after the deafening STATOIL bribary case was revealed for the entire world to watch. But it didn't stop there (Read my analysis of the case: END GAME TEHRAN) Norway was thrown out of China as well and had to crawl back on it's knees and appologize to the Chinese leaders, one-by-one. Losers par excelence!

Disrespectfulness towards Iran quickly lead to big schism. Having had contact with oposition groups to Iran, Oslo played on both sides of the street, which angered Tehran immensely.

INTERVIEW WITH AMBASSADOR ALI AHANI IN TEHRAN
Tehran was very angry!
In 2000 Norway finally entered the Islamic Republic of Iran. Then, the Foreign Department in Tehran had waited for twenty years or more wondering why Norway, with its specialized deep-water technologies, had not come and helped Iran to build the South Pars project, and other offshore and onshore projects.
Harald Dahle, "When I arrived the Foreign Department in Tehran in April 2002 the mood was somber, to say the least. Ambassador Ali Ahani was angry. The Norwegian Foreign Department had for years played on both sides of the street cultivating contacts with opposition groups to Iran, like the Mujahidin Kalk MEK. The attitude from the Norwegians had been cordial, but stiff, and had not reflected the greatness in the Iranian culture and its people. Tehran was very hurt."
Dahle-Sladek: -With regards to Norway and Iran relations Ambassador Ahani, I notice some slight irritation on your part, why is that?
Ali-Ahani: -In fact, the Islamic Republic of Iran and Norway have many opportunities. In addition to the economic and industrial cooperation we have oil and gas. I would like to emphasize the importance for us to finalize the oil and gas projects in the South along the Persian Gulf, as well as in the Caspian Sea. Norway and Iran are two important oil producing countries and can cooperate and coordination in the world oil market and stabilize oil prices, which would be in the interest of both oil producers and oil consumers.
Dahle-Sladek: -You mentioned that the Norwegian Foreign Minister Jan Pettersen's visit to Tehran was a kind of watershed. Could you please explain that?
Ali-Ahani: In fact, in the past years, our relations lacked the sufficient momentum to further expand our relations. And in fact, compared to other countries in Europe, our relations with Norway were lagging behind. The visit of your Foreign Minister to Tehran show the firm determination of your country for the expansion of the relations with Iran. And certainly, there is such a political will and enthusiasm on the part of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran!
Dahle-Sladek: -Thank you Dr. Ahani.

In April 2002 and in May 2003 the Editor-in-Chief had several meetings in the Foreign Ministry in Tehran. There I met with Dr. Hossein Adeli, Deputy Foreign Minister for Economic Affairs who was busy, but was very generous and took time off to talk with me. Adeli’s diplomatic career progressed through his appointment as Iranian Ambassador to Canada in 1995.
Iraq and Afghanistan
At the end of his term in 1999, Adeli was nominated as Deputy Foreign Minister for Economic Affairs and the chairman of the Coordinating Council for Foreign Economic Relations until 2004. During these years, Adeli initiated two special committees for Reconstruction of Afghanistan and Reconstruction of Iraq through a series of multilateral arrangements, and filled the role of Secretary General for both committees.
Ambassador to United Kingdom
As his last official post, he served as Ambassador Extraordinary Pleni-potentiary of Iran to the United Kingdom. At his time, he along with John Curtis and several others lobbied with Iranian Government to borrow 80 items for a new exhibition named "The Forgotten Empire".

Dr. Adeli explains Iran's view regarding Afghanistand and the U.S.
Dr. Adeli: "Great disappointment!"
This interview was conducted in Dr. Hussein Adeli's office in the Foreign Ministry in Tehran. It was the first of two meetings that Harald Dahle had with Dr. Adeli. The first was in April 2002, and the second meeting was held in May 2003.
During the interview made in April of 2002 it became quite clear to the Editor-in-Chief, that the rejection of the United Sates to appreciate what Iran had done for the country in Afghanistan, neither did not sit well with the upper echelon of the Islamic Republic of Iran, nor was it well received by the Deputy Foreign Minister for Economic Affairs. This would have been a Golden Opportunity for the United States to better the relations with Iran, but in wain. Washington was not ready to hand Tehran a firm handshake.
Dahle: -Tehran has sent an invitation to Washington for a meeting and better the relations between the two sides. I understand that the United States has rejected this initiative. How do you view the current relations with the U.S. after this disappointment?
Adeli: -Well, actually our relations with the West in general has improved a lot during the last, may be four, five years.
Dahle: -Yes.
Adeli: -Specially with the policies that have been followed by President Khatami, Dialogue among Civilization, the Rule of Law, the Principles of Civil Society, the elimination of tensions between Iran or other countries, the elimination of misunderstanding. All of these policies have been seriously followed by Iran in its Foreign Policy and has contributed to the relations with all countries except the United States. And with the West in general we have been able to exchange delegations on the level of Foreign Minister and head of Governments.
Dahle: -Aren't the operations of the United States in Afghanistan very much based on the early assistance from Iran?
Adeli: -But with the United States, it is unfortunately to see, that even developments in Afghanistan, which owes a lot to understanding and effective assistance from Iran, has not, I believe, been able to penetrate into the hearts or the minds of decision makers in the United States.
Dahle: -Without the help from Iran in Afghanistan, you say that the United States would not have been where they are now?
Adeli: -I think that there is no doubt, even in the American eyes, that what we now see in the situation in Afghanistan owes a lot to Iranian assistance, Iranian understanding. The military success of the United States owes a lot to understanding and appreciation from Iran, and also the political process in Afghanistan owes the same thing.
Adeli: -And may be that was a very unique opportunity for the United Sates to reciprocate these kinds of understanding, and to seize and stop those kinds of policies that are pursued by them, in the past couple of decades. But apparently there is still not a very strong sign from that side.
Dahle: -Iran has friendly relations with many countries in the world, so why not also with the United States?
Adeli: -Off course, the general policy of Iran is to have friendly relations with every country in the world, including the United States, provided that this kind of relationship would be based on an equal footing, on a mutual beneficial sort of relationship. So, this is why I think that, as the policies of the United States, which are normally a unilateral policy, we hope that one time they would join the other countries of the West and developing countries, and would join that kind of understanding of Iran. That the developments in the region would open their eyes, and that they would adopt a new policy towards our country!
Dahle: -Thank you Dr. Adeli.

FBI AGENT LEVINSON
THE ROBERT A. LEVINSON KISH ISLAND IRAN CASE
By the Editor-in-chief
If you enter the lions quarter in a zoo, and the lions eat you, can we then say that the lions kidnappet you?
Kish Island Iran
When you are a former FBI Agent and enters Kish Island of the Islamic Republic of Iran you are on the same shallow level as with the mediocrity of the US Intelligence in Dubai, as I have experienced it in 2002. You simply do not know what you are talking about. In combination with an absolute disregard for the capability of the Iranian Intelligence Service.
Mr. Levinson was a fool to consider even remotely entering Kish, where I myself have spent six weeks on three different occasions between 1998 and 2002 taking part in two seminars, visiting the TOTAL supply base and had dialogue with many Iranian dignitaries whom I met with again later in Tehran.

Harald Dahle's working card in Iran
Mr. Levinson was not "Kidnapped" as this below poster suggests. He freely, arrogantly and stupidly entered the Lion’s den as an Exclusive Enemy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, no less. What else can you expect! Total fiasco! The ongoing US media hype of this case underlines the collective factitious disorder in the American psyche with regards to the Islamic Republic of Iran today. When will you folks wake up? (Read my article, The Islamic Republic of Iran already have nuclear strike capability)
Before criticizing other countries the United States should look more into it's own extraordinary rendition activities, also called irregular rendition or forced rendition It is the government-sponsored abduction and extrajudicial transfer of a person from one country to another with the purpose of circumventing the former country's laws on interrogation, detention, and torture. Recent renditions have been carried out for example by the United States government .
New documents released by the CIA have revealed details about the detention of Khalid al-Masri, a German-Lebanese man mistaken for an al Qaeda member in 2003. He is yet to be given compensation or an apology from the US. Other documents released by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) have also revealed the Kafkaesque details of one of the most notorious cases of mistaken identity in the CIA's extraordinary rendition program during the hunt for al Qaeda.
Khalid al-Masri, a German-Lebanese man, living at the time in the southern German town of Neu-Ulm, was arrested on the border between Serbia and the FYR of Macedonia on December 31, 2003, only because - as was confirmed by the US Senate in 2014 - he shared a name with an al Qaeda suspect.
Macedonian authorities held him in a hotel in Skopje for three weeks before he was handed over to CIA agents, who then flew him to a secret prison in Kabul, Afghanistan, in late January 2004.
The newly released report signed off by CIA Inspector General John Helgerson in 2007 shows that he spent four months being interrogated, humiliated and mistreated, before he was eventually released in Albania in May 2004 and "clandestinely returned to Germany," as the report put it. Though the German government was informed then of his detention, according to a "Washington Post" report, the US asked it not to disclose any of the details.
Thank you.
NORWAY IRAN RELATIONS
Main Story of the Month
INTRODUCTION
In 2000 Norway finally entered the Islamic Republic of Iran. Then, the Foreign Ministry in Tehran had waited for thirty years and longer wondering why Norway with its specialized deep-water technologies had not come and helped Iran to develop the South Pars project, as well as other on -and offshore projects in the Islamic Republic.
Assaluyeh Pars Special Energy Economi Zone
Even before the plane with its Government officials and representa-tives of the petroleum-related industries had left the Norwegian air-space, Norway had in fact already lost its unique business opportunity in the Islamic republic of Iran. These fish eating latecomers had all arrived Teheran’s Mehrabad Airport from a country which, in a radical way, distances itself from piety and where spirituality does not have any important place in the daily lives of the people. And were the word "Islam" in their nordic consciousness often is associated with terrorism and threats. The stage was now set for a humongous clash between two contradictory civilizations!
THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN
ENDGAME TEHERAN
If Justice shall have any meaning at all, it must include
the person responsible for the Crime.
Harald Dahle-Sladek
The Editor-in-chief
From the very outset it was the twisted Norwegian mindset, the whole chain of command in Oslo and it's ill prepared bureaucracy that faulted. Right from the Parliament down through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Energy and Oil, INTSOK and the industry, and the medium sized oil company Statoil whose ethical bearing were out of course. Their factual relations to Iran were all seriously lagging behind and bribery and corruption were only two unpleasant sides of a larger and more complex picture. Welcome to Norway's worst diplomatic, ethical and industrial catastrophy in modern times.
Norwegians in Tehran were rapidly revealing a devastating lack of empathic feelings and an over emphasizing on cognitive thinking in general and diplomatic correctness in particular. Among Norwegian dignitaries in Oslo and Tehran the phrase "the People of Iran" was nowhere to be heard. However, from the Iranian side, having the People of Iran in focus was a prerequisite for doing business in the country. Thus, as we shall see, from the very outset Norway were on a collision course with the Islamic republic; Norway and Statoil did nothing for the People of Iran.
In the case of Norway and Statoil in Iran, the agreement between Department of Justice and Statoil did not include that person responsible for the crime. Thus, the US Department of Justice and Norway's Økokrim both failed their obligation, to indict and prosecute the head of Statoil Olav Fjell. It gives the wrongest signal possible, and that is very serious. That the medium sized Norwegian oil company Statoil can pay itself out of bribery is intollerable. And the US-based Law firm Sulliwan & Cromwell representing Statoil did a splendid job facilitating just that!
Mehdi Hashemi Rafsanjani
The decision to bribe Mehdi, the son of President Hashemi Rafsanjani was awfully bad for Norway! In the eyes of the international community it was the worst that could happen. And Norway had to pay a heavy price. The total disrespect for an ethical bearing, suddenly revealed a system that collapsed for the whole world to admire. It was really bad, and totally unnecessary.
THE NOBEL PEACE PRICE TO SHIRIN EBADIN
In the middle of the Norway bribery scandal with Iran in 2003 the Nobel Committee gave the Peace Prize to Iranian opposition lawyer Shirin Ebadin. It was not enough with one problem with Iran, Norway had to create a second! It was also a slap in the face of President Khatami and his Dialog among Civilizations program.
A SUSTAINABLE DIALOGUE AND COMMON GROUND?
The Norwegian Nobel Committee abuses its power and use the Prize in a political context to push the agenda of the Norwegian Parliament, Stortinget. They did it with Iran in 2003 and with the Peoples Republic of China seven years later. Both instances prove that the Norwegian Parliament, the Norwegian Nobel Committee, and the Foreign Ministry in Oslo are seriously lacking in experience in their ability to create sustainable dialog and common ground in international relations. In this context it remains a mystery to us what Norway can contribute to in the UN Security Council for the common good of Mankind.
NORWAY IN THE SECURITY COUNCIL
The return of the Emperor’s New Clothes!
With the promises (read: bribes) of future gains for supporting a place
for itself in the UN Security Council, Norway finally got itself a hot seat.
The situation between Iran and Norway was a catastrophe, and with the Statoil bribery-case rapidly unfolding it took just another twelve months before Norway was kicked out of Iran. Shortly after in 2010, Norway detonated another diplomatic bomb, this time with China as result of naively giving Chinese opposition personality Wen Jiabao the Nobel Peace Prize. It took Norway ten years to establish a new diplomatic foothold in the Peoples Republic of China. Two of humanity’s oldest cultures, the Persian and the Chinese had in less than ten years both denied Norway access. An astonishing achieve-ment on the world diplomatic scene.
Hans Christian Andersen
wrote The Emperors New Clothes
To compensate for this traumatic downfall, and to show the entire upper echelon of the ruling world-elite that Norway could be trusted, it set forth to conquer a chair in the Security Council. And won! The overstretched country with its microscopic population of 5.4 million fish eating Norwegians was now geared to show off its new clothes. Like the Emperor in the fairytale by H C Andersen.
Many applauded Norway, but the few who knew her better were embarrassed and lowered their sights as the Queen from the North strutted her feathers. They were not fooled. Neither are we! What Norway can contribute with in the Security Council is unclear to us, but should it be en par with her Iran and China operations, then God help us all.
At last the Norwegian Government had decided to enter the Islamic Republic of Iran. But it's reputation and political standing were to be ruined by lack of experience in creating dialogue and common ground with the Embassy of Iran in Oslo, and a deeper understanding of doing business with Teheran. Any previous negative energy between the two sides was carefully being hidden behind a constructed façade of exuberant optimism. And then, in an instant, the scene-carpet came down.

Oslo, October 2nd, 2020
Dear Sir,
I am writing to you to inform you about an article that I have written on my web page www.petrofilm.com It is the main article of the month of October and bears the title “ENDGAME TEHRAN.” In it I analyze the Statoil-Iran-bribery Case. Although the Department of Justice made an agreement with Statoil (Norway), the then head of the company Olav Fjell was never indicted.
My article proves that Olav Fjell in fact was responsible for the downfall of Statoil. The information revealed in the article proves that the information given by Statoil to Department of Justice does not constitutes the whole truth and is a breach of the agreement between Statoil and the Department.
The case of Statoil in Iran did not happen as a sudden bang but came as a result of assumptions that had to be present over time. It was therefore imperative on the part of the Norwegian power apparatus to prevent access to any context in something that was of a far more serious nature than Statoil's role in isolation. The full and complete truth would have revealed the full and complete responsibility. And they were not interested in that from the Norwegian side.
Tehran’s Ambassador to Oslo His Excellency Noghrehkar Shirazi told me, “In a meeting at Statoil where Olav Fjell was present, I gave him the mobile phone number of our Minister of Oil Zanganeh. Mr. Zanganeh had said to me, that if Fjell had any question in any direction, he was free to call. But Fjell never called him, and Zanganeh thought that very strange!” And that became the end for Statoil in Iran.
I can refer to United States versus the car maker VW. Where top leaders were indicted. If Justice shall mean something it should include the person(s) responsible for the crime.
Best regards

On 10 January 2005, a meeting was held at INTSOK, Norwegian Oil and Gas Partners, in Hoffsveien 1, entrance 1A 4th floor. Present at the meeting were Knut Gulbrand Wangen, CEO of INTSOK and Harald Dahle from his own company Petroconsult. The meeting was arranged at the request of Dahle and lasted from one o'clock to about a quarter past two and a half. At the end of the meeting Mr. Wangen was deeply affected by the content and seriousness of the conver-sation. He himself expressed a certain dismay at everything Dahle had told him.
At the meeting with Wangen on January 10, 2005, I said that even though my work was not accepted by INTSOK and by all the others, it could be worthwhile to invite me onto the carpet to hear a different facet, a different nuance than the one usually heard about Iran. Mr Wangen looked at me as he understood what I was talking about but said that such an input was not interesting. I wondered and sat back with a feeling of exclusion and little value at the same time as I understood that it was precisely such input from the side that could have brought in new knowledge and understanding. But this was not the case. Only the drawn official line was acceptable.
Representative Mr. Werner Karlsson of the Norwegian Oil and Gas Partners INTSOK to the editor-in-chief Harald Dahle-Sladek: You are not worried about human rights in Iran, are you? They take the lives of people, stone them .."
The opening of the Norway-Iran conference by INTSOK at Hotel Azadi in Tehran was a toned down and poorly presented presentation from the Norwegian side. The Norwegian minister spoke low, indistinct and did not have a friendly and positive attitude. No joy, no warmth. And no enthusiasm at all. It was a sad affair with an awfully bad audio. Embarrassing to travel so far and spend so much money and time with such a poor result. Beautiful suits probably do a lot, but far from enough.
THIS MONTH'S STORY CONTINUED. . .
THE THREE TRACKS
Iran Norway Petrofilm Dialoge Films
Who agreed with whom, and who did not?
My interests and Iran's interests coincided namely, to create dialogue and common ground and focus on the "People of Iran". A factor that was totally absent from the Norwegian side.
My interests did not coincide with the interests and perceptions of the Norwegians. I was there to create dialogue and common ground. Norway was there to make money and did not emphasize with the "People of Iran" which was a pre-requisite from the Iranian side if one wanted to succeed in creating sustainable business in the country. Norwegian industry coincided with Iran’s but did a weak job of presenting the breadth of what Norway could offer in terms of services.
I came in from the sideline through an industrial three-national seismic project and thought it would be wise to have a round of talks in Tehran. Tehran had not experienced such attention as I gave them, and they therefore opened up all their doors to me, to Oslo's great annoyance.
It was first my dialog creating work aimed at the Iranians who came from Teheran to Oslo in 1998/99 within the three-national Persian Carpet 2000 seismic project. From North of the Persian Gulf to the Oman Sea. Six ships, lots of equipment and about one thousand people.
Then it was my "Vison of Iran" filmed interview project in 2002 in Teheran to lift up the People of Iran. The phrase "the people of Iran" was repeated over and over to me from the Iranian side, in the Foreign Ministry in Teheran.
Then it was the Iranian Ambassador to Oslo Noghrehkar Shirazi's year-long grudge against the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs that was a separate project seen through his eyes and the Foreign Ministry in Teheran. These were two different projects, one within a seismic project, the other within diplomatic tensions between Iran and Norway.
The idea to create dialog and common ground was much the same for both tracks, but the information I received in Tehran and the usefulness and use of it were different for both. The information that Ambassador Ali Ahani gave me about the situation between Iran and Norway, for example, belonged only to the diplomatic project initiated by Ambassador to Oslo, Noghrehkar Shirazi, and myself.
The information I received from Mohammad Mohaddes in the National Iranian Oil Company NIOC about the latter announcing new exploration blocks, only belonged to the seismic project and was especially useful for Norwegian seismic company Global Geo Services in Oslo.
The Norwegian Storting, the Parliament, in principle coincided with Iran’s Parliament, Majlis. Top-level agreement.
The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs coincided with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Tehran's view, but was charged with poor and late follow-up from Oslo over many years.
The views of the Ministers of Energy and Oil Mr. Olav Akselsen (2000) and Mr. Einar Steensnes (2003) in Oslo coincided in principle with the views of Minister of Oil Mr. Bijan Zanganeh in Teheran.
Statoil's management in Teheran, Mr. Harald Finnvik, coincided with the Ministry of Oil and NIOC, and at the same time it did not when Statoil ran its own under-the-table bribery race with Mehdi, the son of former president Hashemi Rafsanjani, who was Director for one of the NIOC companies.
My one hour talk on May 19, 2002 with Mr. Mehdi Mirmoezi, Deputy Minister of Petroleum and President of the National Iranian Oil Company NIOC, revealed that NIOC was in fact "very satisfied" with the works that Statoil's people had done so far in Iran.
A miserable presentation of Norway to the Iranian officials in Tehran. Another miserable presentation by Deputy Minister of oil from Norway at the INTSOK opening at Azadi Hotel.
Norway probably meant it well, but presented itself amateurishly and did not mirror the Iranian culture and the greatness in the Iranian people. They not create thrust trough empathy and understood little or nothing at all. Lots of handshaking and bla-bla, but hardly any results to speak of. Talk about missing out on a huge opportunity!

Minister for Energy and Oil, Norway Olav Akselsen in Teheran November 22nd 2000.
Vice President Mohammad Ali Abtahi
in April 2002, I visited my Iranian friend Mohammad Ali Abtahi in Tehran. Mohammad had been vice president to President Khatami, and he now headed the Institute for Dialog between the Religions. “The Christian God and the Islamic God is the same, one God,” Mohammad told me confidently with a smile.
Abtahi confirmed that both religions have many things in common, and that today the world needs dialog. The most important parts that are building civilizations are religions. But if every religion believes that it is the only and holy religion, we will not have dialog with other religions. Today dialog between the religions is taken very seriously and this is so because man feels that he must take special notice and care of what is common in the religions, because there is a common danger threatening the religions. The soul of the religions is spirituality, and it is being hurt in our time. This is a danger which threatens both Islam and Christianity. We have had many wars and unrest in the world, and this is also because of the lack of spirituality. Because of this the different religions need to collaborate.
Two different concepts altogether
One to make a as much money as possible in the shortest amount of time (above); the other to lift up the People of Iran and to create a sustainable dialog and common ground, Harald Dahle's book concept.

DEVASTATING: STATOIL CEO OLAV FJELL, THE ONE WHO KNEW!
Norway had set its course and moved majestically through the sea like a modern cruise liner. But the Iranian waters proved to unfamiliar to navigate in and the ship headed for a disaster. But nobody on the Bridge cared.
NORWAY: DARK CLOUDS GATHERING
Norway’s entering into the Islamic Republic of Iran in 2000 became a prelude to the worst diplomatic and industrial disaster the country had ever experienced. Only overshadowed by its nightmarish relations to Peoples Republic of China, in 2010 after the Norwegian parliament-appointed Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the Peace prize to Chinese human rights activist Liu Xiaobo. In both cases Norway used its check-book diplomacy to crawl back and normalize its relations. To make oneself unpopular with two of the oldest civilations on the planet in less than ten years is quite an achievement in itself!
FROM THE PARLIAMENT DOWN
At last the Norwegian Government had decided to enter the Islamic Republic of Iran. But it's reputation and political standing were to be ruined by lack of experience in creating dialogue and common ground with the Embassy of Iran in Oslo, and a deeper understanding of doing business with Teheran. Any previous negative energy between the two sides was carefully being hidden behind a constructed façade of exuberant optimism. And then, in an instant, the scene-carpet came down.
ZANGANEH'S MOBILE PHONE NUMBER
During a good-bye reception at the Iranian Embassy in March 2004, just months before ending his four-year period as Ambassador and leaving Oslo for Teheran, Ambassador Noghrehkar Shirazi revealed to the Editor-in-Chief Harald Dahle the following.
Shirazi:
"During a meeting that was held at the Statoil headquarter, I conveyed a message to Olav Fjell from our Minister of Oil Mr. Zanganeh. Zanganeh had instructed me to say that if Fjell had a question, ore problem, he could just phone him on his mobile phone. So, I gave Olav Fjell the mobile phone number Zanganeh had given me, but Fjell never called him back. The problems which Statoil had could easily have been cleaned out with Zanganeh over the phone, but there was no sign from Statoil and Zanganeh found this very odd!"
It is worth commenting that at the time when Bijan Zanganeh instructed Ambassador Shirazi to give CEO Olav Fjell his private mobile phone number, he was already aware of Statoil's under-the-table operations with son of president Hashemi Rafsanjani. This is the impression that Harald Dahle got from Shirazi in March 2004.
STATOIL'S BETRAYAL AND DOUBLE-CROSSINGS
In other words, if Statoil had a problem, any problem, - and as CEO of the company Olav Fjell would have known - he could easily have talked these matters over with Iran's powerful Minister of oil Mr. Bijan Zanganeh, but strangely enough he did not do that. The Ministry of Oil and the National Iranian Oil Company took this as a betrayal.
Statoil had doubled crossed not only Tehran's powerful Minister of Oil Bijan Zanganeh, but also their own representative in Iran Mr. Harald Finnvik who knew nothing about the home offices bizarre under-the-table deals. And it quickly became the end for Statoil in Iran. The problems for Statoil in Iran only increased after that.
TEHERAN: STATOIL EMPLYEES ON THE OUTSIDE
Said during the INTSOK Gardermoen Airport Conference Center gathering in February 2002 which Harald Dahle-Sladek attended:
Director Arne Eriksen, Statoil,
"As you can see, I am very frustrated. The Iranians are polite towards us (in Tehran), but we have a distinct impression of being kept on the "outside" of things...and it is a question for how long this can go on before we have to pull out altogether."
Harald Dahle-Sladek, Petrofilm,
"I suggested to Statoil's Arne Eriksen (who was in Tehran) on the phone that I was willing to negotiate with the Iranians for a better understanding between the two sides.
But, after consulting with his people Eriksen came back and said that it was of no interest to them.
I found their decision remarkably devoid of initiative and empathy; they simply did not fathom how to treat their Iranian counterpart."
INTSOK - Norwegian Oil and Gas Partners, is a Norwegian organization owned jointly by the Ministry of Energy and Oil, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and about 100 of Norways largest, medium sized and small industrial companies for the purpose of helping and guiding these companies into foreign countries, under the umbrella of Norway's politics and regulations. Between 2000 and 2003 the Export Council of Norway was also involved.
RESPONSIBILITY WAS HEAVIEST AT THE TOP
It was also incumbent of the Norwegian authorities to isolate the damage by acquitting the actual head of Statoil, Olav Fjell in order in this way, to quickly direct the responsibility downwards in the organi-zation and not upwards. The State acquitted itself, and the first to "be sanitized" was the Statoil CEO Olav Fjell himself.
Norway's catastrophic involvement in the Islamic Republic of Iran between 2000 and 2003 is a good example of what I will describe as a vertical system collapse. The Oslo-Tehran-Statoil collapse did not spread in a horizontal direction, but was shaped like a wedge with the tip down. The relationship of responsibility was clearly heaviest at the top, which is the opposite conclusion that was drawn by the collective Norwegian media elite at the time.
The Foreign Department, Oslo
NORWAY-IRAN FOREIGN POLITICS
"It was in fact the Norwegian foreign politics versus Iran in
the thirty odd years preceding 2000 that created the
groundwork for a future conflict between
the two sides, in 2003." The Editor-in-Cief
Teheran's Ambassador to Oslo Mr. Noghrehkar Shirazi
to the Editor-in-Chief Harald Dahle:
"The Norwegian Foreign Department and the others see that you run fast and reach high levels in Tehran, and it irritates them!
My be, many years ago they should have done the works
you have been doing now!"
Ministry of Foreign Affairs Oslo: Created the ground work for future conflict.
A SYSTEM COLLAPSE FROM THE PARLIAMENT AND DOWN
The STATOIL bribery case with Iran was a System collapse from the Norwegian Parliament, down through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Oslo; INTSOK, the Export Council, and STATOIL. It was incumbent on the Norwegian State to isolate the damage by acquitting the actual head of Statoil, the person who knew everything, Olav Fjell in order in this way to quickly direct the responsibility downwards in the organizationand not upwards.
A FOREIGN POLITICS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET
Statoil needed to expand its area of operations abroad and were indeed welcomed by Iran's Minister of Oil Bijan Zanganeh. However, with regards to the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Foreign Ministry in Oslo had for thirty years and longer been walking on both sides of the street and cultivated contacts with opposition group like the Mujahed-din Kalk MEK - in the eyes of Tehran a Terrorist Organization - as well as with other enemies of Tehran.
It was in fact the Norwegian foreign politics versus Iran in the thirty odd years preceding 2000 that created the ground-work for a future conflict between the two sides, in 2003. Read my interview from the Foreign Ministry Tehran with Ambassador Ali Ahani who confirms that this was the case: "Norway was lagging behind compared to other European countries."
TEHERAN: NORWAY DID NOT HAVE A GOOD STANDING
But, unfortunately the situation between the two sides where such between 2000 (when Statoil entered Tehran) and in 2002 (when I spoke to Ambassador Ali Ahani and Ambassador Hossein Adeli in the Foreign Ministry in Tehran) that Norway in reality did not have a particularly good standing there.
This somber reality had made it somewhat problematic for Statoil. Therefore, it became tempting for Olav Fjell and his entourage to make a short-cut to the son of President Hashemi Rafsanjani and to use unconventional and criminal methods to try to secure work for Statoil at the National Iranian Oil Company NIOC. Statoil was now flying blind, and as we shall witness an implotion of dimentions was not far away in time.
THE CAPTAIN DERAILED THE PROJECT BEFORE START
At the helm of Norways flagship stood Statoil's canonized Saint Olav Fjell, a man with semingly supernatural capability to survive in his position as CEO supported by an almost blindfolded Statoil-board. After having brought Statoils name down in the gutter and tainted Norway's flagship and reputation for the world to admire, this semingly untouchable man walked straight into a new and high-paid job soon thereafter.
It was his responsibility to implement Statoil's Iran strategy - his strategy - and to see it through. But, he did not understand that he had in fact already derailed the entire Statoil-goes-to-Iran operation. With no ethical and empathical bearings, CEO Olav Fjell continued the doomed and misguided plan like a drunk captain onboard a sinking ship. Where was his helpers? Ore my be they were all drunk?
OLAV FJELL: NOT A SINGLE WORD OF CRITICISM
Off course, Fjell should have known, because it was his duty to know and to understand. That is why he had a very high salary; but he didn't. In the meantime bribe-money was now flowing out of Statoil like water over the Niagara Falls! Mr. Saint Olav did not mind. After all it was not his money, but the taxpayers!
In the following years not a word of criticism was raised against him. In the papers of Statoil's law firm Sullivan & Cromwell LLP in Washington and New York not a single letter was mentioned regarding Olav Fjell. In fact, he was nowhere to be found.
Statoil's new clearing boy Helge Lund signed the court paper for Statoil. And at that time Mr. Olav "untouchable" Fjell was far away over the shimmering horizon. However, the full and complete truth would have revealed the full and complete responsibility. But, they were not interested in the truth from the Norwegian side! Only to get off the hook of the US Justice Department and to close the case as quickly as possible so the dust could settle once and for all.
In the meantime, among the ruling elite of Norway, Mr Olav "untouchable" Fjell was regarded as a near folk hero and could chose any high-ranking position he wished for; all door were opened up to him. He had after all been pardoned by the State, sanitized as it were and made trustworthy again.
MULTIPLE HUMAN ERRORS AS SYSTEM COLLAPSES
It is not one thing alone that triggers an accident, but the sum of many factors. This can be done with technical equipment as well as with a company or a state apparatus. System collapse is a good term when an electrical network - power grid - fails, but the term can just as well be used about Norway's entry into Iran where Norway's flagship Statoil was responsible for a failure of dimensions. The media isolated this incident as an economic affair - a corruption case.
A DOWNWARD DEFLECTION AND A NEGATIVE TREND
The truth is probably more that there were many other and different factors that were not of an economic nature that helped to trigger the catastrophe (downward deflection) These factors were such that a breakdown in the diplomatic relations between the two countries could only happen when these factors were present.
Isolating the case as a purely financial matter will at the same time prevent insight into the other underlying causes. Therefore, it can be said that the media largely refrained from tackling these underlying causes, and in that way played along with the scapegoat Statoil, it's CEO Olav Fjell, as well as with the Norwegian Power Apparatus.
OBJECTIVE #1: TO PREVENT ACCESS TO THE TRUTH
The case of Norway and Statoil in Iran did not happen as a sudden bang but came as a result of a bunch of assumptions that had to be present over time.
It was therefore imperative on the part of the power apparatus (the State, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy, INTSOK and industry) to prevent access to any context in something that was of a far more serious nature than Statoil's role in isolation.
OBJECTIVE #2: THREATS AND HARASSMENTS
The full and complete truth would have revealed the full and complete responsibility. And they were not interested in that from the Norwegian side. It therefore became imperative to isolate the Editor-in-Chief Mr. Harald Dahle-Sladek with ice cold harassment and threats. Access was undesirable, and pressure was applied on him from every angle over twenty years. The Norwegian power apparatus was a closed circuit. So, they believed!

Adeli: Difficulties should be settled as a non-armed conflict
SEYED MOHAMMAD HOSSEIN ADELI PhD
In April 2002 and in May 2003 I had several meetings in the Foreign Ministry in Tehran. There I met with Dr. Hossein Adeli, Deputy Foreign Minister for Economic Affairs who was busy, but was very generous and took time off to talk with me. Adeli’s diplomatic career progressed through his appointment as Iranian Ambassador to Canada in 1995.
At the end of his term in 1999, Adeli was nominated as Deputy Foreign Minister for Economic Affairs and the chairman of the Coordinating Council for Foreign Economic Relations until 2004. During these years, Adeli initiated two special committees for Reconstruction of Afghanistan and Reconstruction of Iraq through a series of multilateral arrangements, and filled the role of Secretary General for both committees.
As his last official post, he served as Ambassador Extraordinary Pleni-potentiary of Iran to the United Kingdom. At his time, he along with John Curtis and several others lobbied with Iranian Government to borrow 80 items for a new exhibition named "The Forgotten Empire".
AMBASSADOR ALI AHANI
NORWAY WAS ONE OF THE LAST COUNTRIES IN EUROPE TO ESTABLISH GOOD AND SUSTAINABLE TIES WITH THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN
It so happened, that during my dialogue with Dr. Ahani, the tendon curtain between Norway and Iran suddenly went up. I did not ask for it to happen. Dr. Ahani freely and unrestrained opened up the entire relationship between the two countries, which to put it mildly, was a basket full of rotten eggs. Here is a short version of what Dr. Ahani told me in that meeting in the Foreign Ministry in Tehran on April 7, 2002.

Too much, Too late, Too dumb!
In 2000 Norway finally entered the Islamic Republic of Iran. Then, the Foreign Ministry in Tehran had waited for thirty years and longer wondering why Norway with its specialized deep-water technologies had not come and helped Iran to build the South Pars project as well as other onshore and offshore projects.
When I arrived the Foreign Department in Tehran in April 2002 the mood was somber, to say the least. Ambassador Ali Ahani was irritated. The Norwegian Foreign Department had for thirty years played on "both sides of the street" cultivating contacts with opposition groups to Iran, like the Mujahidin Kalk MEK. The attitude from the Norwegians had been cordial, but stiff and had not reflected the greatness in the Iranian culture and its people. Tehran was very hurt.
Dahle: -With regards to Norway and Iran relations Ambassador Ahani, I notice some slight irritation on your part, why is that?
Ali-Ahani: -In fact, the Islamic Republic of Iran and Norway have many opportunities. In addition to the economic and industrial cooperation we have oil and gas. I would like to emphasize the importance for us to finalize the oil and gas projects in the South along the Persian Gulf, as well as in the Caspian Sea. Norway and Iran are two important oil producing countries and can cooperate and coordination in the world oil market and stabilize oil prices, which would be in the interest of both oil producers and oil consumers.
Dahle: -You mentioned that the Norwegian Foreign Minister Jan Pettersen's visit to Tehran was a kind of watershed. Could you please explain that?
Ali-Ahani: In fact, in the past years, our relations lacked the sufficient momentum to further expand our relations. And in fact, compared to other countries in Europe, our relations with Norway were lagging behind. The visit of your Foreign Minister to Tehran show the firm determination of your country for the expansion of the relations with Iran. And certainly, there is such a political will and enthusiasm on the part of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran!
Dahle: -Thank you Dr. Ahani.

HARALD DAHLE'S "VISION OF IRAN" DIALOGUE FILMS
I created Dialogue and Common ground with the People of Iran over five years, and that became a huge problem for the official Norway. They saw it as an act of treason and started a war of harassment and badmouthing. However, looking at their results it was then that I learned the hard way how mediocre, narrow minded and unprofessional the Norwegians were.
With regards to Iran I came in from the side through a three-national industrial project between Norway, the Islamic Republic of Iran and People's Republic of China. The objective was to map the entire coast of Iran from North of the Persian Gulf (at Hendijan) to the Oman Sea (near the border of Pakistan) with six seismic vessels over three years. The name of the project was Persian Carpet 2000, or PC2000 for short.
I first had relations building with the eleven Iranians who came to Oslo for the project in November 1997, Later I documented the entire project from day one in January 1998 and sent reports back to Oslo from Iran and Dubai.
In 2001 I suggested to the Norwegian company which had contracts with Iran, that it could be greatly beneficial to have a round of dialogue talks in Tehran and listen to what they had to say there. I was of the opinion that without doing that, the project would fly blind, because there were so many unknown factors that we did not know about at the time. This strategy proved to be very advantageous to both sides.
I presented my idea to the Deputy Head of the Iranian Diplomatic Mission in Oslo, His Excellency Rezvani, who presented it to Ambassador Noghrehkar Shirazi. I wanted to make a round of filmed interviews with the leaders of Iran under the umbrella "Vision of Iran". Ten days later they OK'd the project and all doors in Iran was opened up to me.
Actually, I started in Dubai to prepare myself for this job, and then moved to the Iranian Kish Island some forty minutes by Kish Air from Dubai. There I visited the French oil compnay TOTAL and attended two seminars and exhibitions at the University of Kish.
All the time I worked on a platform of Empathy, Respect and Dignity.
I was not in the Diplomatic business but created Dialogue and Common ground with respect for the People of Iran and their outstanding Culture. That was my platform from which I had talks in Tehran and elsewhere. On May 19 2002 I completed the Vision of Iran dialogue talks in Tehran and flew back to Dubai. I left Dubai for Oslo one month later. In May 2003 I returnet to Teheran for the last time.
My simple and honest idea became a huge burden to the official Norway, in such a disasterous way that high-level Iranian dignitaries became uneasy and shook teir heads in dismay.
Deputy Foreign Minister for Economic Affairs Dr. Hossein Adeli in the Foreign Ministry in Teheran expressed gratitude for my work and told me, "When Harald Finnvik from Statoil Teheran visits me, I speak highly about the work that you do. Dr. Adeli was a great support to me in another vice tense situation.

On August 20, 2004 at noon, a meeting was held in Oslo at the distin-guished Law firm WIERSHOLM where Harald Dahle-Sladek was present. He was asked by Senior Partner Anders Ryssdal to attend because Dahle, according to Ryssdal "knew much about Iran." Dahle arrived in Iran early January 1998, eighteen months before Norway entered the country in early 2000.
At the time of the Wiersholm meeting Harald Dahle had already worked seven years on Iran. The same year in 2004, Dahle gave his works on Iran to the Library of the Norwegian Nobel Institute in Oslo. Harald Dahle also had filmed interviews with the upper crust of the Iranian establishment, from the Presidents office to the Foreign Ministry and various organizations and companies.
Through the filmed interviews that Harald Dahle had made in Tehran the lawyers Margaret K. Pfeiffer from the Washington Office and Samuel W. Seymour from the New York Office could both watch and hear directly from dignitaries in Tehran. To bring out high-level talks from Tehran which Dahle did was in itself unique.

On July 19, 2006 at 8PM I called Director Arne Eriksen in Statoil from Oslo. He was in Tehran in a Statoil meeting and sounded worried. I said to him that I was willing to negotiate for Statoil. He was surprices, but interested. He admitted that the situation was very problematic. Later at a meeting in Oslo he said,
"As you can see, I am very frustrated. The Iranians are polite towards us (in Tehran), but we have a distinct impression of being kept on the "outside" of things...and it is a question for how long this can go on before we have to pull out altogether."

Harald Dahle-Sladek was working in the Islamic Republic of Iran from January 1998 till May 2003. His responsibility was to create dialogue and common ground with Iran on behalf of an industrial three-National seismic consortium between People Republic of China, the Islamic Republic of Iran and Norway. He did not represent the Norwegian Government or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Oslo.
In April 2004 Dahle gave much of his works on Norway and Iran to the library of the Norwegian Nobel Institute and in 2007 he met with President Mahmoud Amedinejads Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki in Oslo Military Society. Dahle-Sladek has more than twenty years research on Norway-Iran relations.
Harald Dahle, "I met Harald Finnvik in Tehran on several ocations.
He invited me up to the Statoil office, a nice-looking place which Statoil had rented. I had the best impression of Mr. Finnvik, and when he said he did not know about the wheeling and dealing that Statoil had done, I believed him."

An example of this was when Aftenposten, Norway's largest and most influential newspaper, failed to take an interview with Harald Dahle-Sladek who had seen the whole affair with Norway in Iran as a whole and therefore could bring to light many underlying factors unknown to most. Dahle,
"They invited me for a nice lunch and listened to what I had to say. But I understood that these clowns did not possess what was needed to empathically understand what had really happened. So, nothing substantive came out of it."

April 2002: Mr. Lars Gunnar Dahle of Statoil Norway asked us at Hotel Azadi in Tehran where we stayed if we could film the Statoil stand at the Oil and Gas Exhibition in Tehran. Mr. Gunnar Dahle was the person in Statoil responsible for setting up Exhibitions. We so did, and after arriving at our base at Hotel LeMeridien Airport Rd in Dubai sometimes later, we sent the finnished product via DHL Courier to Statoil's Headquarter at Forusbeen 50 in Stavanger.

Later, back in Oslo, we sent Statoil a modest request for payment of the DHL Courier service and work. After the 2006 agreement between Statoil and the Department of Justice, Statoil dragged it's feets and would not admit to giving us the job, because as they proclaimed, "That there is no contractual basis for the work." Which is dishonesty presented as a legality. This is the answer we received from Statoil:

We refer to your claim with various attachments dated 22 October 2008

EPITAPH
The collapse did not spread in a horizontal direction, but was shaped like a wedge with the tip down. The relationship of responsibility was clearly heaviest at the top, which is the opposite conclusion that was drawn by the collective Norwegian media elite at the time.
It is a Norwegian tradition that a high-ranking CEO does not really loses his or her job, but is merely given the opportunity to start-up in a new high-ranking position shortly thereafter. The "Old Boys Club" certainly knows how to take care of its own!

NEVILLE AT CAPITOL HILL
THE DESTRUCTIVE FORCE OF
THE AMERICAN PARTITOCRACY
He came, went, and lost. Gravely misunderstanding his oppo-nent’s narrative, naively showing off a piece of paper which had the support of the parties and his Government. People rejoiced little Adolf's signature. Surrounded by the masses, Prime Minister Chamberlain appeared confident indeed!
A deal was reached on 29 September, and at about 1:30 a.m. on 30 September 1938, Adolf Hitler, Neville Chamberlain, Benito Mussolini and Édouard Daladier signed the Munich Agreement. On 30 September, upon his return to Britain, Chamberlain delivered his controversial "peace for our time" speech to crowds in London.
With a typical laid-back self-reassuring British flair, the parties had for years argued back and forth weather little Adolf on the other side of the secure Channel was worth taking seriously. And in the meantime, little Adolf released a few tricks himself, he had hidden upon his sleeves; a provocative gesture here, a threat there. Never mind that, the parties said, we have enough Port to ride off that. The dictatorship of the self-reassuring, democratic partitocracy was in swing! The very safety valve which Democracy was dependent on, failed to open. And as a result, thousand of Londoners perished in flames, and all hell brought lose. Neville’s ghost!
He came, stayed, and lost. Gravely misunderstanding his oppo-nents narrative, naively showing off his ball-cap with the inflammatory message, “Make America Great Again”. The masses rejoiced! On the Capitol Hill, Tom and Nancy, Chuck, and Mitch meant it well; with paper in hand each side proclaimed a moment of victory, futile as it was. Nine days after the Capitol was nearly burned down to the ground, these same representatives of the United States self-proclaimed, dysfunctional Democracy are still debating what to do with little Adolf, who just might have another trick hidden upon his sleeves. We have no guarantee that he has not.
Capitol Hill, the very safety valve which the Democracy of the United States is dependent on has not opened. It imploded. Neville’s shadow again! The German-Swiss psychiatrist and philosopher Karl Jaspers once uttered, “If it has happened once, it can happen again. To forget it guilt.”
In these desperate days, when we failed Democracy, we know for certain that it did happen again! You can’t blame little Adolf. It was the system that failed, Tom and Nancy, Chuck, and Mitch. Every one of them held up a piece of signed paper in their hands. And with it, brought Capitol down. Little Adolf will disappear, and Capitol must be rebuilt from the inside out. Ore, we might all go down in flames!
Polarization of the American society has become more evident under president Donald J Trump.
Dear friends and readers!
We have become aware of the violent culture underpinning American politics of today, even though such incidents are usually not acknowledged or reported, but often repressed and denied. The outcome of the first American civil war fought from 1861 to 1865 decided who should be included in the winner’s club and steer the new nation into the future.
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF
The second American civil war, which is fought in our own time by stealth, is deciding who shall not be included in the winner’s club. It is against these two contradictory scenarios that many of the violent political deaths that has occurred in the United States speak more clearly to us, stand out in a way we have not realized before and warn us.
Stay vigilant folks. Help fight terrorism, domestic and foreign. Report suspicious incidents to the authorities. Have a blessed day, cheers!
FASCISM IN AMERICA
"That which has happened is a warning!"
Karl Jaspers
"To forget it is guilt. It must be continually remembered. It was possible for this to happen. And it remains possible for it to happen again at any minute. Only in knowledge can it be prevented."
Karl Theodor Jaspers German, Born 23 February 1883, passed away on 26 February 1969, was a German-Swiss psychiatrist and philo-sopher who had a strong influence on modern theology psychiatry, and philosophy. After being trained in and practicing psychiatry, Jaspers turned to philosophical inquiry and attempted to discover an innovative philosophical system. He was often viewed as a major exponent of existentialism in Germany, though he did not accept the label.
The Definition of Aristocracy
The original meaning of the word aristocracy simply referred to 'the rule of the best'. Aristos, the Greek word for best, implied the ‘most fitting or best suited’, while kratos referred to rule or power. This early definition described only the characteristics of suitability and gover-nance, with no relation to class or wealth.
European Aristocracy, Adriaan de Lelie, the family of Jan van Loon, 1786
Norwegian Mediocracy
State-led policy of Philosophy with direct Anti-human traits. Fear of Aristocracy and the upper Class led to rhetorical absurdity wrapped in cuddly talk.
The Norwegian way of creating dialogue and common ground is to understand everything in death, then minimize what has been said and reflect it back as an unworthy nothing. Because in Norway you should neither be anything nor get confirmation that what you say is worth something. Out of the State's vision of social equality, an intel-lectual underclass has been created.
The Norwegian way of talking to another person is done with the rude "you" (German: Du) "You" has become a rhetorical free pass that allows the user to cross personal boundaries without paying the slightest consideration. In this way, the person can in the most obvious way step into another person's most personal areas and utilize this; right of use and property rights included. The form of accusation "you" seems to add to intimacy, but it is in its character completely superficial. One wants to give the impression of psycho-logical closeness, and it can be used to manipulate the person being talked to.
Saying "you" is dehumanizing and without dignity. Lack of real dignity and respect are two factors that clarify Norwegians' relationship with each other. Superficial, sort of commitment wrapped in "you" is what characterizes the Norwegian, democratic society of today.
In the aristocratic society, on the other hand, everyone knows their rightful, social place. In a democratic society, everyone moves around at high speed while at the same time being extremely concerned with giving the impression of closeness through cuddly talk such as "Enjoy yourself!"
Up until the nineteen seventies, the exalted and respectful form of speech «DU» (Norwegian: De; German: Sie) was used in Norway, but then something happened; the Norwegian State intervened and set out to remove the respectful form «DU» (German: Sie), and instead introduced the disrespectful «you» (German: Du) form.
The "YOU" form was simply too exalted; the Norwegian State did not like it. And then all impressions of aristocracy and upper class were leveled off and replaced with mediocrity and unworthiness.
Now it was okay to be a bully dressed in a suit. The "you" form (German: Du) enabled a shift from the rhetorically exalted to the rhetorically absurd and has contributed greatly to the general disso-lution of social norms.

There was a time when some of us actually
believed in political dignity!
Dear friends and readers! There was a time in the mid-1950’ies when I grew up in a small place in Oslo called Kampen, from French Campement, encampment. It was a nice place of old, working class houses, a school, and a church. Girls dressed in skirts with flower pattern, boys in nice trousers, not jeans.

We believed in the flag, our country, and the constitution. Every 17th of May on the National Day, we marched together singing nationalistic songs and afterwards we had hot dog and lemonade. The war was behind us and the future looked bright. In the 1950’ies we believed in the common good for all. Although most of us were from modest economic background. But we had something called dignity in ourselves. And we believed that this dignity could bring us safely through, whatever came in our way.
With the advancement of the petrochemical industry new products such as plastic and polyutherane came to market. Girls no longer dressed in skirt but skin-tight Spandex trousers. Anatomically revealing their vulva. Men followed up! There was a change in the mindset. What was unheard of in the 50’ies and 60’ies now became not only acceptable, but mainstream. Shockingly provocative, and vulgar as it was.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO, was created with dignity in mind. To protect life and the values that we in the West adhere to. It was a respectable organization with respectable men and women. With the advancement of propulsion technology, bomb, and electronic technology new products such as thermonuclear B61-12 and F-16 and F-35 fighter jets came to markets. Strategically revealing their through purpose. Countries were encouraged to accept these new technologies. And, again there was a change in the mindset. What was unheard of in the 50’ies and 60’ies now became not only acceptable, but mainstream. Shockingly dangerous and unpredictable as it is.
Norway went from no foreign troops on its soil to accepting US Marines through the back door. As a test operation. It went from no nukes on its soil to full, nuclear engagement, again through the backdoor, without even bother to let the people vote on the issue. A clear moral breach, and a far step away from dignity.
Change in Norway’s policy from a friendly and respectable bilateral relation with Russia to an aggressive and provocative stance in the mid 1980’ies and onwards reveal a character flaw never seen before in this nations history.
A lie flourished in the corridors of power: Strut you ass and reveal your vulva and one will be guaranteed eternal life! And that is what Norway did. Went to bed with Washington and became a whore. Never for a moment thinking of the real consequences for its marginal population of 5.4 million, but whore-like painted them up into a corner they now cannot escape from.
We admire the United States of America! Beacon of the free World! And as Norwegians we respect Washington. But the reasoning on the Norwegian side is wrong. Norway’s mission in the world is to create peace and common ground. Also, with its big neighbor Russia. Today!
The ultimate betrayal is to sit and wait for an opportunity, and then when it arrives, use that opportunity to take possession of the truth and twist and bend that truth in order to make it a supportive case for one’s own intentions, such as the right-wing Norwegian Solberg Government does today. This is a profoundly serious legal and humanistic matter, shockingly depleted of human dignity.

HARASS AND DESTROYS THE LIVES OF MANY
The war was not over! The war which ended in 1945 has continued to this day. Norwegian secret police targets writers, journalists, and people in opposition to the lawlessness and disregard for human rights within the secret police force, the department of Justice in Oslo and other departments. Petrofilm.com:
Norwegian police and scumbags breaks §90, the spy paragraph, Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and the United Nations Human Rights when they spy on their own population for the American Embassy's SIMAS program.
Infiltrates the Church and harass people during Mass
This lawless secret police infiltrates the Catholic Church and turn the Church against members of their own church. The secret police put out false rumors among people, in shops, at working places to disregard and exclude enemies of the state.(Documented)
Use false cellular towers to obtain data
Taps mobile phones from false cellular towers in moving and stationary vehicles, and uses the information obtained to further make life as destructive as possible. Obtain flight data from airlines to follow and further harass. (Documented)
Harass Norwegian citizens abroad
Follow people abroad. Operates in Spain and other countries in order to crush opposition. Provoke people on the streets in Oslo, walk them down, block entrances in doors to shops and arrive on peoples workplaces to provoke trouble so as to get people fired. (Documented)
Put out sleazy rumors to discredit targets
They use cheap tactics and put out rumors of homosexuality, pedophilia and other deviance's to further discredit people. They visit neighbors of targets and tell them that this person is a bad person. They do all which is humanly possible to destroy the life of any who have an opinion which goes against their own.(Documented)
Create dialogue and you're an Enemy of the State
And they themselves do not present evidence to justify their mafia-like operations. Specially of those who will have dialogue with Russia, instead of war. You look to the East in today’s Norway, and you are as good as an enemy of the State.
The Norwegian secret police have access to a myriad of people with whom they cooperate. They work through people, so that the marks of their deed shall not be evident.
Traitors of truth and human rights. Instigators of trouble and death threats en par with Chiles right-wing Pinochet Junta. (Documented)
Norway's secret police: "The truth is what We say it is!"
The Norwegian Nazi Police from the War has disappeared, but the substantive core of evil has not. This is Norway of today, on the same level as in the East German Democratic Republic DDR under Walter Ulbricht, the life under Stalin and in Croatia under Ante Pavelic.(Documented)
A Dictatorship of the Partitocracy
Norway has a shine-democracy - a dictatorship of the partitocracy which erodes real prosperity and real human rights for the population and operates as a State within a State.
Petrofilm.com has in it's possession a huge amount of evidence of the operations of the Secret State. This is not
a joke or a fantasy, it is real.
The Norwegian Quislings of today sell out Norway's population and destroys opposition with an iron fist. (Documented)
Security Incident Management Analysis System SIMAS
Data mining from Government servers constitutes a serious crime and should be prosecuted. However, the United States' State Department should be careful not to exploit its Security Incident Management Analysis System, SIMAS in a dehumanizing way. (Documented)
Sell out their own people to a foreign power
It is a fact that Norwegian police and intelligence operatives work hand-in-glove with the United States Embassy in Oslo mining a huge amount of personal data from ordinary Norwegian citizens.
Thus, violating §90, the Spy paragraph, which states that "working for a foreign power is a serious crime and is punishable." (Documented)
The Law applies equally to everyone
Breaking the United Nations Human Rights and the Fundamental Charter of the European Union on personal protection is a serious crime too. Before criticizing code breakers and journalists around the world, the United States should first scrutinize its own endeavors. You can't live crooked and think straight, weather you're a chauffeur or a Chief of State! The Law applies equally to everyone. (Documented)
Until the mid 1960'ies leading Nazi's were still associated within the Norwegian Police.
The Norwegian Nazi Police instigated harassment and deportation of all Norwegian Jews that they could lay their hands on and sent them express to the cremation ovens in the concentration camps in Poland. The Norwegian Police has never been indicted for its participation in administrative and practical work in the genocide of the Norwegian Jews.(Documented)
PEOPLE WHO RECOGNIZED THE DANGER OF FASCISM
When we have to do with human beings there are particularly three words that comes to mind, empathy, respect and dignity. What you will read and watch here are the opposite of those three words, combined in one common slogan, "fascism". The seed of fascism lies within us, in the general public, and it is there waiting to pop out at the right time under a charismatic fascist leader. (Documented)
The colder it gets between people the more fascism thrives
In my own work dealing with people and dialogue in general, I have come to experience that many of us are not capable of viewing another human being right in front of ourselves with warmth, empathy, and humanness. I believe this defect to be one of several primary causes for disharmony, conflict, and war. I call this phenomenon, The coldness between people. (Documented)

A Police Force which has commit such a heinous crime once is able to do repeat it. The German philosopher Carl Jaspers has said, “Has it happened the first time then it can happen again!”

76 YEARS AFTER THE WAR
Seventy six years after the War ended I find it most disturbing to live in a society were those who shall upheld the Law, the Police, is in fact the very same organization that killed the Jews, individuals like you and me. This fact makes each and everyone of us vulnerable, because if has happened once it can happen again. And it does happen again, every day, although in a more subtle form. It is called a free and democratic society, free to harass and kill, democratic when it suites the purpose. A major lesson here is the vulnerability of the individual when faced with the institutions of the State when these institutions are not committed to the defense of the individual.
"That which has happened is a warning!" Karl Jaspers
"To forget it is guilt. It must be continually remembered. It was possible for this to happen. And it remains possible for it to happen again at any minute. Only in knowledge can it be prevented."

This is what the Present Norwegian Fascist Police did to the Norwegian Jews in 1943

Senator Alben W. Barkley, member of a committee investigating Nazi atrocities, looks at a pile of bodies at Buchenwald concentration camp. The bodies had been left out in the sun and rain for almost two weeks after the liberation of Buchenwald on April 11, 1945. There had been so many deaths before the liberation of the camp that the crematorium ovens were not able to keep up.
They did it once, and it can happen again. We have no guarantee that it will not happen again.

Inmates of the Ampfing sub-camps in Germany after having been liberated by US Third Army troops in1945. Sub-camps are a lesser known aspect of the concentration camp system in Nazi Germany. Prisoners in the Waldlager V and VI, located near the town of Ampfing, were housed in barracks partially submerged in the ground with soil-covered roofs designed to camouflage the structures from Allied aerial reconnaissance.

ONE CAN NOT FREE ONESELF IN ONES OWN COURT
Within the same and single mind two opposite behavior pattern emerge: One for the preservation of life, and the other for eliminating life. To me that is a most disturb-ing mystery.
The brutal Norwegian police together with their fascist friends in the Nazi-inspired Hirden-organization committed administrative mass-murder and physical crimes against Norwegian Jews and Humanity. However, they were never indicted for their heinous crimes, but instead absolved their own sins in a pathetic apology from Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, the present Chair of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO. Which is another example of how these people protect each other.
KLICK HERE: THE NORWEGIAN POLICE DOUBLE STANDARDS
Hello friends! No one else in the society could get off such a huge crime as the murder of six million Jews is, without an indictment followed by a conviction. Norwegian right-wing terrorist Ander Behring Breivik, for instance was swiftly tried and he received life in prison. The Norwegian police, however, was an integrated part, although not one of the largest, of the third Reich's grand solution to the Jew problem, but was not charged.
Clearly, as everyone can see, we are talking double standards here, one for the police and another one for the people!
In principle there is no difference between the administrative work that Adolf Eichmann did and the administrative work that the Norwegian police did with regards to the Jews. Both instances facilitated and managed the logistics of mass deportations and murder of the Jews, but only one of them was charges for it!
THE POLICE AND THE CULTURAL POLITICS OF FASCISM 1940-2020
They have created a State within the State. They themselves proclaim that they are above the Law, while continuing to harass and destroy the lives of many people. Behind their facade of obedience to the Law they have sold out their own people to a foreign power.
These are the people who like to be looked up to and walk around with an incredible hubris of vain power. These are the people who has put the lives of many in great danger by invited foreign troops and thermo-nuclear weapons onto Norwegian soil.
Our leaders are not qualified to bring Mankind safely forward
1938 REVISITED?
One mistake, and the world as we know it is gone. One slightest error, and the civilization that we so proudly and arrogantly cling to will dissolve into fine dust encircling our desolated planet.
But, that fact does not seem to bother anyone. Wrapped in hyper-logic exasperations of the most desolated sort, mankind is rapidly drifting towards its own disintegration; proclaimed by rational world leaders as “a sustainable future” with “zero emission”. It is all a lie!
There is no “sustainable future” and “zero emission” is a fantasy product presented, while death and destruction are filling our lungs.
And I am not referring to the ongoing pandemic. Not at all. That, after all, is a minor incident in the Grand drama. In 1993 I went with the Norwegian-owned buoy-tanker Anna Knutsen from Antwerp in the Netherlands to the Statfjord C buoy on the Norwegian side. We collected 200.000tons of crude and brought it back to Tees-side in England. There are twenty and more tankers shuttling up to Norway every month collecting crude. Each of these giants evaporate enough carbon-gas to destroy life in a small town. Multiply that with 2000, because that is the daily gift of poisonous vapor which Norway, in all it’s green, self-proclaimed hype, gives back to mankind. Just a thought.
Here is another one. In 2003 I visited Fushun in North-East China. What’s so interesting about Fushun, you might ask? Fushun is the place of the Ping Ding Massacre. The one that Japan committed towards the local, Chinese population there. But, again, that is a minor incident in the Grand drama. For centuries Fushun’s West Pit has been the largest open-pit coal mine in Asia. It contributed greatly to China’s new prosperity, before it was shut down in 2019.
We will accept any solution – and I underline “any” – to advance the economy. We will even burn down the Rain Forrest in Brazil. The common lounge of renewable oxygen in the world. While lame European Union and the United States watch by and do nothing.
We are on the edge of an unfathomable deep abyss. From where there is no hope of survival. Just as it was in 1938 in the German Reich. They believed in the cause and failed. We believe in our cause, and we are failing. Again. These days as we are living are the days of 1938 revisited.
Our leaders are not qualified to bring mankind safely forward. Covid-19 has proved that. We are going down on a first-class ticket with no possibility of return.
Amused? Have a wonderful day!
THE STATE AS CHURCH?
This is the Dictatorship of the Partitocracy
NORWAY THE PARLIAMENT
The most devastating decision for Norway in recent times was to harass and ultimately destroy the Catholic Church in the country. Introduce Protestantism and, through an iron-sifted church and Ministry of Education, impose bureaucratic directives on the people. The State took on the role of both tax collector and spiritual guide. The following of this new arrangement has in reality made most of Norway's population atheists and the country a cultural bracket; yes, it is an almost cultural underdeveloped and sexualy norm-breaking society without much other values than cold money.
The Norwegian State - young as it is in European history, has a rude and free-spirited attitude when, on its own behalf, it imposes on the population its extremely troublesome opinions about what it believes is right and proper in ecclesiastical and in family planning matters. Here is a recent example of State abuse versus citizen in a Child Welfare case:
Strasbourg, December 22, 2020
Norway Convicted in another Child Welfare case
In the Human Rights Court, Strasbourg
Norway today violated the right to family life in a child welfare case where foster parents were allowed to adopt, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) states.
The case is about a girl who the child welfare service took over the care for just days after she was born. The girl was placed in a foster home, and the mother was granted four visits a year, each of two hours. When the girl was four years old, the mother was deprived of parental rights, and the county council approved that the girl could be adopted. The mother went to court to change the decision, but did not succeed. It is the mother who has appealed the case to the Human Rights Court in Strasbourg.
This is the dictatorship of the partitocracy wrapped in gold-embroidered gloves and foggy talk. In front of an increasingly indifferent population that has been detached from the Mother Church almost by a kind of «military coup.” I am referring here to the commander of Akershus Fortress in Oslo, who in his time had the Catholic Sistersiencer Abbey on Hovedøya (the Main Island), which is located deep in the Oslo fjord, demolished and burned to the ground. Much of the remaining stones of the Abbey was taken and used as building material for the fortress itself.
The State clearly saw the Catholic Church as a real threat. As an example, §2 in Norway's laws between 1814 and 1956 prohibited Catholic Jesuits admissions to the Kingdom. In 1636 by the order of the Danish King Christian the Fourth who residence in Copenhagen, Norway was forcefully detached from the Catholic Church and joined to the Lutheran Protestant Church. That became the end of the Catholic Era for Norway. This was a catastrophic mistake for Norway's further development as a Nation and it's people, and has in later years contributed to cultural isolationism and non-integration in the European Community, among other things.

Norway as a non-piety State
By the Editor-in-Chief
"The decline of Spirituality in the West in general, the weakening and the right-out abolishment of the Christian faith in many places today, and the materialization and dehumanization process reflected in the general coldness between people, gives reason for great concern."
Norway's King Haakon IV, "What happened to spirituality in Norway?"
In the Norwegian society of today, Man is undoubtedly being reduced to the weight of his own body. The newspapers write about losing and gaining weight every, single day. "It's all about meat, meat and more meat," says Harald Dahle, "and nothing about Man as a Spiritual being in God. In their educations Norwegians learn nothing about Spirituality, but every-thing about fiscal policies and fancy theories." He reflects on the Norwegian's Laissez-faire type mantra "to Enjoy.“ With the full blessing and encouragement of an authoritative and non-spiritual State, off course! You know, the Norwegians does not really have anything of spiritual value, and this is why they so desperately try the become what they are not and can never be, canonized.
The decline of Spirituality in the West in general, the weakening and the right out abolishment of the Christian faith in many places today, and the materialization and dehumanization process reflected in the general coldness between people, gives reason for great concern; in Norway, however, this is "business as usual", a stroke of death before the curtain fall. Before we as less civilized and empathic people criticize religion and spirituality in the Islamic Republic of Iran today one should first explain and understand the collapse of Christianity as a main factor in the western societies of today. In the Age of conspicuous consumption, oil and gas, sexual "freedom" and decline of conservative values the Norwegian society is identified with an overwhelming absence of piety in combination with a cold, disdained and superfluous inter-human relations almost devoid of human dignity. Just as it was in the last days before the fall of the decadent, Roman Empire!
On the streets of Oslo, the Norwegians bow their small and worried heads down towards their large, active-matrix organic light-emitting diode screens on their cell phones. And that they do all day! And it is the only time ever when the Norwegians bow their heads! On the walls of the houses in capital Oslo, there are not the minutest sign of spirituality. No, al-fresco paintings of the apostles, the Blessed Virgin Mary, a cross, some ornaments pointing towards a cultural connection with continental Europe. Nothing! The capital is chemically, organically, and spiritually devoid of any sign of a higher and dignified purpose in life. Alongside country roads leading through walleyes and over plains, through small towns and barren fields there is not a single cross, no memory built for an ancient, Christian pilgrim who shall have walked and died there. Not a signpost pointing towards a time when Norway was a country belonging together in spirit with the other Christian nations on the grand mainland of Europe.
THE SLIPPERY SLIDE TO HUMAN CATASTROPHE “In my work dealing with people and dialogue, “says Harald Dahle, “I have come to learn that many of us are not capable if viewing another human being right in front of ourselves with warmth, empathy and humanness. I believe this defect to be one of several primary causes for disharmony, conflict and war!" This phenomena bears special relevance to the people of Norway who actually live on an "island" - with the North Sea on one side and the forest and mountains bordering to Sweden and Russia on the other - and can do as they damn well please without having to take into account the more aristocratic and refined continental European culture further south. "I was in Munich already in 1956 and was raised in Sissach in Canton Basel Land in Switzerland," says Dahle whose father became a Swiss citizen. Harald Dahle, it sets the Norwegian cold and minimalistic Lutheran Church, controlled by the Department of Church -and Culture, in a certain perspective!
"The German philosopher, sociologist and composer Teodor Ludwig Wiesengrund Adorno, left picture, has also had opinions about the "coldness between people phenomena: “Without the chilly and disdained behavior between people, the extermination of the Jews would not have taken place in Germany” he warned. Adorno was a leading member of the Frankfurt School of critical theory, whose work has come to be associated with thinkers such as Ernst Bloch, Walter Benjamin, Max Horkheimer and Herbert Marcuse , for whom the works of Freud, Marx and Hegel were essential to a critique of modern society. He is widely regarded as one of the 20th century's foremost thinkers on aesthetics and philosophy, as well as one of its pre-eminent essayists. As a critic of both fascism and what he called the cultural industry, his writings - such as Dialectic of Enlightenment (1947), Minima Moralia (1951) and Negative Dialectic (1966) - strongly influenced the European New Left.
Picture of the day
Russians meet Norwegians sheltering in a mine in Finmark
The underdogs crawl out of the cave!
Dear friends and readers, introducing,
Yes, we love this Country as it Rises Forth!
How Russia phobia in Norway today undermines Democracy and tramples on Human Rights, and the slogan “not to be prepared” is Norway’s blatant excuse to draw massive US military and financial support.
'
The first line in the Norwegian National Anthem goes like, “Yes, we love this Country as it rises forth…” It is a beautiful, poetic line; it sets a dreamlike direction for the country in combination with an uncertain vision of the future. The country rises, but it is not certain how much it rises and what direction it will take.
Far, far away Norway shimmered like Gold
She is forty-three years old and is the store manager for a computer shop in Oslo. One day, four men and a woman enter the shop; they line up in front of the desk where she works helping customers. The woman in the five-person group approaches her and says, “I have a problem with this hard drive,” she holds up a small, portable drive, “can you fix it for me?” she asks the woman behind the counter. She responds, “We don’t do this kind of operation here,” but I can certainly try and fix it for you privately and you can collect it here tomorrow, if that is acceptable to you?” The middle-aged woman agrees to pay forty dollars for the service.”
The next day the woman arrives back in the shop. The store manager says, “Here it is, I fixed the drive for you.” The woman responds, “I don’t want it!” The store manager says, “But, why…we had an agreement!” Whereupon the woman says, “I don’t want it because you did it privately!”
Two days later, the female store manager was told to come to a meeting with the owner of the computer shop, a lawyer, and a friend of hers. She came. Her friend, the lawyer, introduced an unknown person. He said, “He is a person who works here; I have got complaints about you.” The lawyer points to four letters laying in front of him on the table. “These letters are from the Police Academy in Oslo (Politiskolen). The perplexed store manager responded, “Can I see them please?” She stretches out her arm to receive a letter. The lawyer answered, “Sorry, no you cannot take a look.”
The store manager was kicked out of her position as store manager. No job, no money, no food. During the following thirty years, the same woman was harassed on the streets, literally walked down, phone was tapped, work was denied, assignments destroyed, a car given to her by an auto dealer as part of a project was suddenly taken away from her after someone had called the dealer and badmouthed her. Priest and nuns in the Catholic church were she used to go were introduced with falsified stories about her. One priest attacked her inside the church. She was harassed on weekly basis inside shops, at cafés, in restaurants and in public libraries and public places.
Why does this happen in Norway today? Because this honest woman had been a journalist for the largest newspaper in Norway “Aftenposten” and the right-wing newspaper “Morgenbladet” and had been an independent freelancer for many years and written about potential Russian infiltration in the European peace movements protesting against the deliverance of the US-made Neutron bomb to Europe. She had also written about Russian operations in Norway and through her work rubbed arms with Russians in Oslo. The violation of United Nations Article 23, the Right to work, and massive violations of basic human rights were of no concern to the Norwegian Authorities and the secret Police.
The woman now learned that another kind of country, another Norway, “ was rising forth”. One of suppression and a marginal life. She is still alive, but for how long, it is uncertain.
A Police force that dragged Norwegian Jews out of bed at 4AM, squeezed them into waiting taxies, and shipped them to Nazi extermination camps in Poland has no problem with taking the life of one, single individual! They have no problems with establishing a complete stand-down to let one single man, Anders Behring Breivik take all the lives he possible wished for, without one single shot being fired to stop him, neither in Oslo nor on the Out Island (Utøya) Labor Party holiday camp for teenagers. Among several thousand police at work that day, not one was authorized to interfere. “Yes, we love this Country as it rises forth…”
The Norwegian is a good person. A kind person. And a person one can trust. This is why people who come to Norway enjoy being here. But somewhere in the collective psyche, and I am not sure at what time it happened, the Norwegian had to make an existential choice; take upon himself the role of the meek underdog who need the reassuring support of a stronger dog, or to adhere to real patriotism who is strong enough to stand on ones own two feet. Reliable enough to be trusted by others and honest enough not to exploit the generosity of the United States of America.
We all want to sell something. Weather it is 54 F-35 fighter jets, services, oil, and gas, or in some cases us. It has been indicated by some that Norway has become the 51st state of the United States, and with good reason. When the Norwegian sing, “Yes, we love this Country as it rises forth,” it is pertinent to ask, which country is he then referring to? The country, which is the Beacon of the Free World, the United States of America, or a tiny, barren strip of land at the outermost edge of Europe which is trying hard to be what it is not, honest to itself and to its people?

From a human-protection point of view, the Norwegian people are being led astray and are having the truth omitted to them by incompetent, biased politicians and bureaucrats. The Department of Defense and the Directorate for Civil Preparedness will not tell the truth of how dire the situation for the Norwegian people is thereby being guilty of exposing its population to inhumane sufferings, mass casualties and mass deaths! Due to a catastrophically lack of preparedness, Norway will lose the next war before it starts.

Ali Ahani about Iran Norway relations
Hello friends,
Without serious dialogue and common ground, there can be little hope for progress. Where there are clear disregard for humanistic values and human lives, real peace is not possible.
It is not enough to "talk peace", one also has to live a humanistic life. Who are we? We have to show the other side who we are and what values we adhere to.
Unlimited economic growth is not ad-visable, our natural resources are under severe threat. The increasing global warming should be our number one con-cern, for future generations.
In order to solve these common chal-lenges, we need to seriously focus on easing tensions and find common ground. Let Albert Schweitzer's words, "Reverence for Life" be our guiding light!
Have a good day!

Macron: Europe must defend itself
Click and Play
"Europe can no longer rely on the United States for its security. It is up to us to guarantee European security," Mr. Macron told an audi-ence of some 250 diplomats, law-makers and international relations experts on August 27.
His comments follow US President Don-ald Trump repeatedly distanced himself from the NATO military alliance, which groups the United States with most of Europe and has underpinned European security since World War II.
Macron's comments are likely to find support in EU powerhouse Germany after Foreign Minister Heiko Maas made a similar call for boosted military coop-eration last week. Writing in the Han-delsblatt newspaper, Maas called for Europe to "take an equal share of the responsibility" and "form a counter-weight" to Washington as Europe-US relations cool.

TOTAL halts $2 billion gas project in Iran
French oil giant Total is preparing to pull out of Iran to avoid risking US sanctions. The company said on Wednesday that it was unable to proceed with a $2 billion project to develop the country's giant South Pars gas field.
In a statement, Total said it "will have to unwind all related operations" before November 4, unless it's granted a speci-fic waiver by US authorities that would protect it against sanctions. In a deal first signed in late 2016, Total agreed to operate the South Pars project with a stake of 50.1%.
Partners in the project are TOTAL and Chinese state oil company CNPC.

CNPC TAKES OVER FOR TOTAL
China’s top oil and gas company CNPC is considering taking over Total’s stake in thew giant Iranian South Pars gas project if the French company leaves Iran to comply with any new U.S. sanc-tions, industry sources said.
Total signed the $1 billion deal to devel op the South Pars gas field in July. The contract gave CNPC the option to take over Total’s stake if it pulled out, accord- ing to sources involved in the talks.
The deal was the first major Western energy investment in the Islamic Repub- lic since international sanctions, includ- ing most of those imposed by the Unit ed States, were lifted as part of a land mark agreement in 2015 over Iran’s nuclear program.

The oil market is seamless and is largely driven by supply and demand. Middle Eastern supplies affect the price of Mid-dle Eastern oil, yes, but also the price of global oil.
And while the United States can and should conserve energy and develop alternate energy sources, the gap be-tween what the United States now pro-duces and what it consumes, nearly 10 million barrels a day, is simply too wide to be bridged.
