An Iranian Cleric declares promiscuous women cause earthquakes. Ah yes, the Mullah’s are at it again.

Blame the Women for our Illegal Activities--Iranian Regime Classic Tactic in Action

“Many women who do not dress modestly … lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which

(consequently) increases earthquakes,”Cleric  Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi blabbed to Iranian media.

The President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad adds salt to the wound with his “prediction” Tehran would suffer a catastrophic quake. While it is true seismologists have warned for decades Tehran would rock from a major tumbler, the timing of Ahmadinejad’s crytal ball analysis is curious.

Iran's Crucible

Earthquakes can also erupt from disturbances in the earth’s geo-magnetic field like say –from covert, illegal nuclear testing.  Iran’s regime is doing just that.

Is this Iran’s modern day “Crucible” a la Arthur Miller? Let’s blame the women to cover our illegal activities. Gee, I don’t know…What do you think?

Quest for Solutions to the Argentine Whale Mystery

Scientists are baffled by the mass death of 308  baby right whales off Argentina’s Patagonia Coast. The usual suspects–whalers have been ruled out. Could earthquakes be a factor in this growing mystery?

Is there a disturbance in the force? No, not of the Star Wars variety, I’m referring to the earth’s geo-magnetic field. A field of magnetism existing on the earth’s surface, stretching from north to south poles. Growing evidence suggests earthquakes can altar this geo-magnetic force.

Earthquakes and animals have a long and interesting relationship. Animals such as sea turtles and birds rely on the earth’s geo-magnetism for navigation. Significantly, bird deaths often accompany earthquakes as they rely on the force field to navigate flight paths. Further, breeding and migratory patterns go hand in hand.

Argentina’s mass whale deaths occurred around the same time as a 6.3 magnitude earthquake off its coast. Are they related? Quite possibly.

Gray Whales

The last mass die off of whales occurred around the same time, and vicininty as other significant earthquakes. Specifically, 250 gray whales died in mass from 1999 to 2000, between Alaska and Mexico.

A few of these 1999-2000 major quakes hit—Tonga Island, Mexico, areas off the Northern Pacific Coast, Colombia.

Whale migration data is also very telling. Gray whale migration puts them at the scene—breeding in Mexican waters in December-April. Then off to migrate north from February-July to Arctic waters northwest of Alaska, making many stops along the Pacific coast on the way.

Jim Berkland, former geologist with U.S. Geological Survey, theorizes that earthquakes interfere with sea mammals’ ability to navigate by radically changing the earth’s geo-magnetic field, giving rise to mass beachings.

I’m with Jim. His theory is considered “controversial”—but the growing evidence speaks for itself. It certainly calls for more research in this area.

Any scientists or readers care to weigh in?

Famed Graphic Novelist Spins Falsified Tales on Israel-Palestinian Conflict

Joe Sacco, Graphic Novelist

I was treated to the rare delight of hearing one of the world’s most revered graphic novelists espouse the history of Palestinian-Israeli relations. Delightful as it was to watch Mr. Joe Sacco incriminate himself as a fraud.

As expected, Joe Sacco’s fans were out in full force at his “Footnotes in Gaza” book signing in Hollywood where dreams come true. In this case, Joe Sacco’s worst nightmare—That Israel Girl.

Joe Sacco began with “the problem all started when the Israeli’s drove the Palestinians out of their homes…later the Palestinians were forced to lead military incursions into Israel occupied Palestine for sustenance…” And the lies and Israel defamation went on from there.

After the discussion during the Q&A, That Israel Girl asked Joe Sacco, “I’m a little confused. Israel was declared a state

Joe Sacco's Latest "Footnotes in Gaza"

by a United Nations resolution. At the time, the Palestinians were offered a state side by side with Israel, but the Arabs instead chose to declare war on the Jews. So how is Israel the ‘occupied Palestine’ as you refer to it?”

A visibly worried Mr. Sacco replied: “Oh, did I say that? I must have misspoke. Yes, you are correct. Israel was declared a state by the UN. But I’m not going to go into the history of what happened at that time. It’s not important. I’m not going to get into it at all.”

A Palestinian man in the audience however did—and launched a verbal tirade against That Israel Girl stating “what she [meaning moi] says is a lie! The Arabs never attacked the Israel!…” etc. Wish you all could have been there for the exuberant fireworks.

Did I also mention Mr. Sacco admitted he couldn’t make it as a journalist? Yet he purports his graphic novel to be based on ethical journalistic practice. He professes to have conducted interviews with Palestinians and even lived amongst them.

Unfortunately, his Israeli interviews are far and few between. And his obvious anti-Israel bias, outright lies and defamation lead me to question his credibility—period.

Graphic Novel Classic Art Spiegelman's "Maus: A Survivor's Tale"...A far better read

He eluded to “numerous Israeli massacres” that never existed. He recreates history on behalf of Hamas. Joe Sacco—you are dangerous.

According to Publisher’s Weekly, retail graphic novel sales in 2004-2005 alone were somewhere in the neighborhood of $245 million. And they’ve only grown stronger. Graphic novels’ reach and influence are immense.

For this reason, graphic novels need to be taken seriously. Purveyors of outright lies on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict need to be exposed.

As Jews, we cannot keep quiet to Israel defamation of the highest order guised in make-shift “journalism” that smacks of propaganda.  Joe Sacco—you are a sham.

And BTW, graphic novel–Maus: A Survivor’s Tale, as in Holocaust survivor, by Art Spiegelman is a far better read.

An attempted assassination of Israeli diplomats occured today, January 14, near the Allenby Bridge crossing between Jordan and the West Bank. Israeli Army Radio reports two explosive devices were detonated in close proximity to a car carrying three Israeli diplomats.

None of the officials were harmed by the bombing. The Israeli Foreign Ministry has no comment at this time.

If you are under the impression Al Qaeda in Yemen acts alone–think again. Al Qaeda and Iranian forces have conspired in Yemen to spawn terror eventually exported to the United States.

Not surprising–the Al Qaeda-Iran connection is one of the most under reported news stories of 2009 heading into 2010.

Iran-Al Qaeda Connection: Til' Death Do Us Part

Arab and Egyptian intelligence sources indicate Yemen first got hot and heavy when Iran, Hezbollah, and Yemen-based Shia Muslim militants held a secret meeting. It was a strategy session with the end goal of escalating the Saudi-Yemen conflict.

Enter Al Qaeda in a sinister plan that would make Hitler and Mussolini envious. (1)

In November of 2008, security officials intercepted correspondence by Bin Laden’s son Saad, literally thanking Iran for “monetary and infrastructure assistance” towards the double car bombing of America’s embassy in Yemen taking the lives of 16 people. (2)

The letter was signed by Al Qaeda’s second in command–Ayman al-Zawahiri. Equally important–the Al Qaeda leader lauded Iran for its “vision” in helping Al Qaeda out with establishing new terror bases across Yemen. Incidentally, right after US and Allied forces cleaned house in Iraq and Saudi Arabia, forcing Al Qaeda to abandon forces there.

Yemen war vs. Shiite rebels trained by Hezbollah & the Iran Revolutionary Guard. Yemen's rebels armed with Iran's trademark Katushya rockets.

And Iran’s fingerprints are all over Yemen. Anti-tank missiles have been seized from an Iranian ship headed for Yemen’s shiite rebels. (3) Curiously, 5 Iranian crewman aboard the ship were weapons experts. (4)

In the meantime, Yemen’s President has outright accused Iran of a proxy war stating shiite militants “have been trained in a manner followed by [Iran's] Hezbollah in south Lebanon.” (5)

Sound frighteningly familiar? Perhaps a bit like Iran’s terrorist meddling in US affairs in Iraq and Afghanistan? (See post:  “Iran’s Proxy War Against the United States”)

Al Qaeda’s demise may mean removing Iran from the picture. As more evidence of Iran’s connection to Al Qaeda in Yemen continues to unfold, we need tougher sanctions–if not military intervention.

In matters of global terrorism–All roads lead to Iran.

Some are fit to lead nations through great travails. And some–play golf.

Has America's national security crisis interrupted your game, Mr. President?

The secret is out–in the midst of our ongoing national security crisis, when our President should be enacting tough security measures, Obama could be found on the ninth green. No, not green technology development–as in teeing off.

Is anyone surprised documentary filmmaker and staunch Obama supporter, Michael Moore, and others on the left have been curiously reticent on the matter. Who could forget Moore’s “Fahrenheit 9/11″ footage of George W. Bush reading to school children upon hearing word the World Trade Center had been hit.

Atleast W was engaged in philanthropy as opposed to dawdle. And contrary to Michael Moore’s celluloid antics–George W. Bush looked like a man pondering the many ways he was going to off Al Qaeda’s mass murderers.

Pardon me, Mr. President–I’m a little tee’d off.

The fight for Jerusalem all began one night when Prophet Muhammad founder of the Muslim faith, announced on his

Al Aqsa Mosque

deathbed he would ascend to heaven on the very site of the Temple Mount. Incidentally, the Temple Mount and Jerusalem belonged to the Jews at the time.

In a hot minute, Muslims conquered Jerusalem and erected the Al Aqsa Mosque directly on top of the Temple Mount. The mosque is now one of the holiest Muslim sites in the world.

Some view Muhammad’s play as nothing more than a strategic military endeavor to wrest the Holy Land from the Jews. An analogy might be if the Russians at the height of the Cold War declared the White House was the resting place of Joseph Stalin.

Was this the Great Jerusalem Heist? Whatever you believe, the Middle East would never

Map of Jerusalem Holy Sites (Notice all sites are closely situated)

be the same. And the fight for Jerusalem began with no end in sight.

Some years later, the Knights Templar took Jerusalem by force in the bloody crusades. Arabs would eventually reverse that play. In short–everybody wants a piece of Jerusalem–Muslims, Christians and the Jews.

Fast forward to modern day Middle East–Israel took control of East Jerusalem in 1967 after being attacked by the Arabs in the Six Day War. East and West Jerusalem are now both under Israeli control.

Under Muslim rule, Jews were not allowed to worship at the holy sites. Under Israeli administration, Jerusalem is free for all to worship. Of course, Muslims have barred “infidels” entry into the Al Aqsa Mosque (this means all non-Muslims).

Isn’t this an act of discrimination against Jews and Christians alike? In Israel, Muslims get equal rights but apparently don’t want to give them.

Do you trust this man with the Al Aqsa Mosque? (Ahmadinejad, Iran's President)

Wait–the real kicker is this. What Muslims fail to realize is Iran is the greatest threat to the Al Aqsa Mosque–ever.

While Israel protects Jerusalem and the Al Aqsa Mosque, Iran holds a military map–and X marks the spot to be nuked. That includes Jerusalem for those not paying attention to Iran’s overt threats.

And God forbid–if Iran’s dream of an Israeli nuclear holocaust is ever fulfilled, the Al Aqsa Mosque will be nothing more than ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

But not to worry followers of the Muslim faith. Israel will take on Ahmadinejad and his thugs who put Al Aqsa in peril. Never fear–Israel is here.

Across the globe, in a sinister port of Dubai, unsavory characters smuggle in sensitive computer technology. Next stop–Iran where the components are used to make an Improvised Explosive Device (IED). The IED is covertly

Iranian Explosively Formed Projectiles cause more American casualties in Iraq on an incident for incident basis

delivered into Iraq. And within 24 hours–that IED, or roadside bomb, kills America’s boys in battle. In Afghanistan–same story.

Recently, Iran has decided to up the ante–training the Taliban against United States forces in Afghanistan on the sly. Iran’s tour de force hits America in the gut 24-7, 365 days a year.

On the social media battlefield, I spar with many who contend, “Iran is just the bad bear du’jour. They’re no threat to America.”

Perhaps they have no idea our grim reaper reality. Iran has been waging a war against the United States for years.

Proxy war is defined as a war instigated by a major power that does not itself participate. And proxy wars are Iran’s specialty–a global niche per say.

Iran is the world’s leviathan of terrorism. They fill terrorists’ coffers annually–$20 million to Hamas and $200 million to Hezbollah to finance proxy wars against Israel.

IED Damage

And the future Iran game plan indeed looks grim.  The Islamic Republic of Iran has an agenda that involves you.

In fact, Iran and Hezbollah’s leadership is outspoken on the matter. They hate our freedoms, our culture, our “infidel” women, our religions.

Iran has situated Hezbollah terrorist sleeper cells all over the world. Take your pick–Europe, Argentina, Bolivia, Venenzuela–Mexico. US Southern Command estimates Hezbollah raises $300-500 million a year in Latin America alone.

Have we forgotten the Iran Hostage Crisis, the bombing of our embassy in Beirut, 3 hostages held captive in Iran today, Iranian IED’s that kill our troops in Iraq, and Iran’s training of Taliban forces.  Let’s see the problem for what it

Hezbollah Rally

is–Iran’s war against the United States.

Iran’s clandestine nuclear weapons program should alarm you. Their leaders have openly declared they will share nuclear weapons with the terrorists they sponsor.

Just what America needs–nuclear Hezbollah sitting just south of the border.

Iran makes a great case as to why we need to enact crippling sanctions now, before we have a proxy nuclear war on our hands–against our troops, allies, global interests–the United States of America.

IRAN PROTESTS continue–

We hear your revolutionary cries across the digital divide–Iranian protestors uniting in dire quest for freedom. It is hard for me to describe the call of duty in the name of human liberty the following tweets ignite:

[Unknown Tweeter]: “Reports: Heavy clashes at Hamedan University, atleast 30 students, mostly female wounded.”

[Unknown Tweeter]: “Video ‘Death to Khamenei’”

[Unknown Tweeter]: “Iran’s media will try to let protests look like riots only. Spread vids/pics of peaceful rallies!!”

[Unknown Tweeter]: “Theres in-fighting among Sec forces today. No1 seen it before. Clearly visible today.”

[Unknown Tweeter]: “Majority of security forces now refuse to charge ppl at Enghelab St. in support of Basijis in plain clothes.”

[Unknown Tweeter]: “Tehran is green today reclaimed the streets. Many beaten/arrested but we are here.”

[Unknown Tweeter]: “Basij attacked Najafabad Azad UNI students w/batons, pepper spray, chain & shock batons.”

[Unknown Tweeter]: “The Supreme Fossil Blames West for Student Protests. He has only himself to blame 4 what is going to happen.”

[Unknown Tweeter]: “gd morning, U queens of Tehran, U princesses of Iran! The blood of the Persian empire runs thru yr veins!”

If Iran’s protestors are caught–their future is infinite rape with a final solution–execution. Be strong sisters, brothers. America has not forgotten you.
