For over 3 decades the so-called “World Community” (in reality a cabal of a few pompous neo-colonialists) has been warning the rest of us (the unwashed masses) that Iran has been developing nuclear weapons, and is on the verge of building them. For all that time it has been claimed that Iran is perpetually just a year or two away from testing ‘The Bomb’.

This disingenuous assertion has been trotted out again and again, on the premise, that if a lie is brazen enough, and repeated often enough, it will come to be accepted as the truth, at least by a large proportion of the population.

It further emanates from the conviction of imperialists, filled as they are with shameless hubris, and revealed in their own ‘diplomats’ statements, that their adversaries need to be given the “carrot and stick” treatment. In other words, as noticed by those on the receiving end of imperial contempt; that the intended subjects are donkeys.

The carrot and stick attitude and pronouncements have recently been made against none other than Russia. But they’ve been most often reserved for the ancient civilization of Iran.

There is an aspect of the alleged Iranian ambition for nuclear weapons that, to the best of my knowledge, has never been addressed by any politicians, commentators, or analysts in the Western media. That problem is: If Iran has been developing nuclear weapons, why has it taken so long, such an inordinately long time to NOT have any?

An explanation could have been forthcoming, if the chronic haters of the Iranian administration, and by extension, the Iranian people, had the courage to extend their pithy analogy about carrots and sticks to a bold assertion, an outright statement; that the Iranians are indeed donkeys. And being donkeys, they must be very stupid and of low intelligence. So, that is why those ‘I-ran-ians’ have been attempting to wrap their tiny brains around the simple problem of how to make an atomic bomb, but in 33 years have not managed to make a single one!

That is the only rational explanation that the lying deceivers could have trotted out. But, due to a rush of political correctness to their fevered mind, they can not expose their bigotry to that extent. That is a line in the sand that even their dainty feet can not cross, lest they give the game away too soon (see the final paragraph, below).

So, the perpetrators of systematic wars, all over the globe, launched under the pretext of “Freedom and Democracy”, have ulterior motives, and use any lie they want to use, including the donkey carrot & stick one, as simply another weapon amongst their vast armamentarium.

This is how we are certain that the arrogant powers lie, and lie deliberately:

1) The United States began its atomic bomb program in 1942. By August 1945 they had half a dozen bombs of 2 different types [1]. In just 3 years, with no precedent, with no confidence that such a thing was even possible, the USA had as many as 6 bombs. Some Plutonium based and some Uranium based. Of which they used a Uranium bomb on Hiroshima, and a Plutonium one on Nagasaki. That, with 1940′s technology and knowledge, or the lack thereof.

2) The Soviet Union began its atomic bomb project in earnest in 1945, after seeing the effects of the American attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and no longer having the burden of the 2nd World War. They exploded their first bomb in August 1949, just 4 years after serious initiation [2]. Again, using 1940′s technology, while trying to rebuild the nation with limited resources.

3) Britain began concerted development of its atomic bomb in January 1947. It exploded its first bomb less than 6 years later in October 1952 [3]. Again, using the technology of 65 years ago, and after a debilitating war.
