The Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 7: 'Dead Weight'
Well the Governor is back as of 2 episodes ago and I for one welcome the change. The prison colony was becoming too insular for me and I was hoping that they would leave and experience more of the post-zombie apocalypse world, but having another story line and community renews the series also. I am not sure why, but the Governor is a very compelling and interesting character. I am not sure how faithful the series is to the original comic book series, but I personally would like to see the Governor as a persistent character in the series.
A Bad Deal
NETANYAHU DID NOT HOLD BACK WHEN REACTING TO IRAN NUCLEAR AGREEMENT

Israeli government ministers lambasted the Iran nuclear deal to which the U.S. and five other nations agreed Sunday morning, calling it a “bad deal,” while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the deal a “historic mistake.”
“What was accomplished last night in Geneva is not a historic agreement; it’s a historic mistake,” Netanyahu said during his weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday. “Today the world has become much more dangerous, because the most dangerous regime in the world took a meaningful step toward acquiring the most dangerous weapon in the world.”
Netanyahu thus directly contradicted President Barack Obama’s assessment that the deal would open “a new path toward a world that is more secure” as well as Secretary of State John Kerry’s assurances that the deal would make Israel and other U.S. allies safer.
“For the first time the world’s leading powers agreed to the enrichment of uranium in Iran, while ignoring the Security Council resolutions that they themselves championed,” the prime minister said according to the Times of Israel. “These sanctions have been removed for cosmetic Iranian concessions that can be canceled in weeks. This agreement and what it means threaten many countries, and including, of course, Israel. Israel is not bound by this agreement. The regime in Iran is committed to Israel’s destruction and Israel has the right and responsibility to defend itself, by itself, against any threat.”
“This is a bad deal. It grants Iran exactly what it wanted, both a significant easing in sanctions and preservation of the most significant parts of its nuclear program,” an unnamed official in Netanyahu’s office said earlier on Sunday.
Netanyahu appeared to take issue with the conclusion of a senior Obama administration official who said the deal did not include recognition of Iran’s right to enrich uranium. An unnamed official in Netanyahu’s office told Army Radio that the agreement does allow Iran to enrich uranium, leaves Iran with all of the centrifuges that would allow it to produce fissile material for nuclear weapons, and does not dismantle Iran’s Arak heavy-water reactor, which could produce plutonium.
“The economic pressure on Iran could have brought about a much better deal which would have dismantled Iran’s nuclear capabilities,” the official added according to Reuters.
Israel Radio reported that Netanyahu was expected to speak by phone with President Barack Obama on Sunday.
“There is no doubt that it’s the greatest diplomatic victory for the Islamic Republic since the Khomeni Revolution. There is no doubt that they received acknowledgement of their ‘legitimate’…in their words, right to enrich uranium and that brings us here to a Middle East arms race,” Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman told Israel’s Army Radio.
Liberman warned that Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkey would now likely talk about their “right” to nuclear energy for “peaceful purposes.”
“This agreement brings us to a new reality and will force us to make a new appraisal of the situation and consider our next steps,” Liberman said.
Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz said the world should not be celebrating a deal based on “Iranian deception and self-delusion.”
“Just like the failed deal with North Korea, the current deal can actually bring Iran closer to the bomb,” Steinitz said according to the Times of Israel. “Israel cannot take part in the international celebrations based on Iranian deception and self-delusion.”
Economics Minister Naftali Bennett called the deal a “very bad agreement.”
He questioned the strategy of those negotiating with Iran, and wondered why they caved precisely when Iran was feeling the impact of sanctions.
“It’s like in a boxing match when the other side is on the floor, the judge counts ‘6, 7, 8, 9.’ At the last minute, the West lifted Iran off the floorboards and gave them a cup of water,” Bennett told an Army Radio interviewer.
“The campaign isn’t over. We don’t give up,” Bennett said, adding “the State of Israel is not bound by this agreement. If the State of Israel sees that Iran is endangering it, the State of Israel is entitled to defend itself and is able to defend itself.”
Finance Minister Yair Lapid said that the agreement struck was “a bit better but not much better” than the deal that was being discussed earlier this month. Still, he concluded, “It’s a bad agreement.”
The centrist politician said, “Neither I nor anyone else in the Israeli government understand how the world fails to understand” that Iran has 19,000 centrifuges.
He said that while Canada and Mexico are nuclear states, they don’t have centrifuges. “You scream until you’re blue in the face and try to understand why they’re not listening. The world wanted an agreement…a diplomatic solution of course is better than a war…just not this agreement,” Lapid told Israel’s Army Radio Sunday morning.
See TheBlaze’s earlier report on the agreement that was struck early Sunday morning in Geneva between Iran and the U.S., Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia after four days of negotiations.
This story has been updated to include Netanyahu’s quotes at Sunday’s cabinet meeting.
Saudi Arabia On The Iran Nuclear Cave By Obama Administration: "We were lied to, things were hidden from us"
Saudi Arabia claims they were kept in the dark by Obama Administration over Iran nuclear deal and says it will strike out on its own
Nawaf Obaid told a think tank meeting in London that Saudi Arabia was determined to pursue its own foreign and policy goals. Having in the past been reactive to events, the leading Sunni Muslim nation was determined to be pro-active in future.
Mr Obaid said that while Saudi Arabia knew that the US was talking directly to Iran through a channel in the Gulf state of Oman, Washington had not directly briefed its ally.
"We were lied to, things were hidden from us," he said. "The problem is not with the deal struck in Geneva but how it was done."

Valerie Jarrett’s Green Light Deal For Iranian Nukes
In recent weeks, there were a myriad of reports suggesting Valerie Jarrett, who has no foreign and/or military policy experience, was conducting secret negotiations with the Iranians. While the White House initially ignored, then refuted these reports, does it not seem a very big coincidence then that these reports were quickly followed up by the current White House crowing over a deal now having been struck with Iran?
And for those few readers who may not already know – Valerie Jarrett is Iranian born.
Now on to the just released details of the Iranian agreement itself. First, it is a six month agreement which will allow Iranians to continue developing its nuclear program AND receive BILLIONS in financial support from reduced economic sanctions. It is, in essence a deal which as the West giving up almost everything, and the Iranians giving up nothing – agreeing to what is merely a promise to not make nuclear weapons, while at the same time, further developing its nuclear program.
This is the kind of diplomacy the Obama White House is attempting to pat itself on the back for?
What about the Iranians themselves who are now telling the world that the United States, via this agreements, has “formally” recognized its right to continue its nuclear program? Here are the words of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani:
“Let anyone make his own reading, but this right is clearly stated in the text of the agreement that Iran can continue its enrichment, and I announce to our people that our enrichment activities will continue as before.”
The Iranian government has long argued its nuclear program is meant only to increase the nation’s energy production, but that argument has been spoken at the very same time they have shared this kind of war mongering sentiment regarding Israel:
“A wound that has sat on the body of the Muslim world for years and needs to be removed.”
That quote was spoken by Iranian President Rouhani just a few months ago. The same President Rouhani who is claiming the current agreement by the Obama administration as a clear victory for Iran.
The same agreement earlier reports suggested was initiated and overseen by Valerie Jarrett.
Iranian born Valerie Jarrett.
