Iran’s Crucible

Monday, April 19th, 2010

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

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

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?

The Iran-Al Qaeda Connection

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

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

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 & Iran Revolutionary Guard. Yemen's rebels armed with Iran trademark Katushya rockets.

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.

Iran’s Proxy War Against the United States

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

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 kill American troops in Iraq

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.

The Nobel Laureate Extravaganza

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

Breezing by myriads of scantily dressed men and women, I paid no mind this Halloween. Been there, seen that–give me something new, something smashing. Otherwise, I’m checked out, mind elsewhere.

Then by chance, I came upon the prize winners who stole my heart–and That Israel Girl’s award for Best Costume of

Best Costume Winners: Nobel Prize Board

Best Costume Winners: Nobel Prize Board

the evening. And the winner is…Mr. & Mrs. Peabody.

You mean you’re unfamiliar with our famous couple? Allow me to explain.

The Peabody’s costume paid tribute to the Nobel Prize Board. How charming and delightful! Our mock aficionado’s even had Nobel Prize certificates, handing them out at will–to anyone and everyone who showed interest.

Sound vaguely familiar? Reminiscent of the real Nobel Prize Board perhaps?

That Israel Girl snapped up her Nobel Prize ASAP. And here it is, my very own Nobel Prize Award…everyone should have one:

nobel1_new1

Clearly I deserve it. That Israel Girl has been in “talks” with Iran long before Obama hit the scene. Ahmadinejad and the boys pummel my website with viral infected spam 365 days a year. (Homeland Security–I’ll let you ponder that one.)

From time to time, these viral hooligans ask me questions feverishly seeking the answer–Who is That Israel Girl really?

And like Obama-Iran negotiations–our “talks” have gone nowhere.

The Apocalypse Comes to America

Do you feel the winds of Thor blow? By chance, hear the howling dogs of hell? Glimpse any Horsemen

of the Apocalypse? You know, Book of Revelations type stuff.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s back in town. The Master of Disaster worms his way this week into the Big Apple to deliver another “I’m the anointed one,” apocalyptic, Hitler-esque diatribes to his buddies at the United Nations.

Thanks to the valiant efforts of United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), Ahmadinejad’s celebratory soiree got “shelved” at the NY Helmsley Hotel, Gotham Hall, and hopefully–The Essex House. Funny, Gotham Hall seems so apropos for a villain of Ahmadinejad’s caliber.

Incidentally, That Israel Girl’s fav (srsly)–Bibi Netanyahu will also be in NY for Israeli-Palestinian peace talks. It’s going to take more than Batman to restore law and order if those two cross paths.

Protests for “Freedom in Iran and Sanctions” against are slated for Washington D.C., New York, St. Louis, Detroit, and Los Angeles. Expect–mass, angry, pumped up crowds. Americans just want to tell the dictator (as dubbed by his own people) where he can stick it.

Iran Heading for Clampdown

Friday, June 19th, 2009

There will be blood as Ayatollah Khamanei, Iran’s Supreme Leader, promises brutal suppression of protestors who want freedom–and “death to [their] dictator.”

A backlash against disputed President Ahmadinejad and the Mullahs–who would’ve thought? That Israel Girl saw it coming a mile away.

And did I mention Hamas and Hezbollah are in Tehran mixing it up on behalf of the Ahmadinejad, Khamanei regime? Members of said terrorist organizations high tailed it to Iran–doing their part to beat and suppress protestors. As The Clash put it–”police and thieves are in the streets, scaring the nation with their guns and ammunition.”

As we predicted from the get go–a Tiananmen Square Mullah style is on its way to Iran. Get ready for the full scale “Clampdown”–

Bibi’s PEACE vs. Ahmadinejad’s WAR

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

A Tale of Two Commando’s

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…

Deep within the heart of Israel, at Bar Ilan University’s center, named for peace icons–Begin and Sadat, Prime Minister

Bibi Calls for "Peace"

Bibi Calls for "Peace"

Bibi Netanyahu delivered a landmark speech, calling for “peace” and a demilitarized Palestinian state. These are the best of times.

That’s right, you heard me–and from the Likud. What did Bibi say?

Bibi: “I say to the Palestinians: We want to live with you in peace, quiet, and good neighborly relations. We want our children and your children to ‘know war no more’…I call upon Arab leaders and Palestinian leaders: Let’s go in the path of Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat, Yitzhak Rabin and King Hussein…Let us know war no more. Let us know peace.”

Meanwhile in Tehran…

Iranian Protestors Beaten in Uprisings

Iranian Protestors Beaten in Uprisings

Blood, chaos, and terror in the streets in response to the alleged Ahmadinejad, Khameni coup. Iranian Revolutionary Guards and suspected Ahmadinejad plain clothes, rent-a-mob beat protestors–the elderly, children, women, men–with clubs, metal batons, and baseball bats, and a man was shot in the skull. Seven total have been killed that we know of. Foreign news media banned from covering rallies. These are the worst of times.

Our resident Madame Defarge [Ahmadinejad]–what did you say about your fellow man’s uprising?

Ahmadinejad: “Each and every Iranian is a nation in itself, a pillar on their own, and

Ahmadinejad's Bellicose

Ahmadinejad's Bellicose

they stand in the face of all enemies and resist them.” (TV headlines beneath him, “World Needs New System, Current System Rotten”).

Protestors are a “few weeds that are making problems.” They are “soccer hooligans disappointed that their team lost the match…The society must be purified of these people.”

He explained that such a “purge” would not happen overnight. “They will try to stop me,” he said, “but I will expose them to the great nation of Iran.”

As Ahmadinejad conspires against “Iran’s enemies”–nations, his own people, like Madame Defarge–is he knitting secret encodes of the people he will have silenced, perhaps killed? Will his yarn measure a man’s life, that he’ll cut, and end?

And that’s on a good day.

Bibi Netanyahu vs. Ahmadinejad–both military minded men, yet vastly different in every sense of the word.

Iran and Israel–two leaders face off. Bibi–for peace, Ahmadinejad–for war.

My bet’s on Bibi…on Israel always.

Welcome to Wonderland, Obama

Saturday, June 6th, 2009

GLOBAL TERROR ALERT: Iran now has enough nuclear fuel to make two nuclear weapons a year.

In the bowels of an underground bunker in Natanz, Iran’s been cranking out uranium, producing an alarming 30% increase in the number of installed centrifuges since February’s atomic report. Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency reported Friday

IRAN's Key Nuclear Sites

IRAN's Key Nuclear Sites

that Iran has increased its installed centrifuges to 7,200.

“Significantly, the agency’s report disclosed an expansion not only in the number of centrifuges, but also in the production of nuclear fuel,” says David Albright, president of the Institute for Science and International Security.

US policy needs to keep pace with this grave threat to global peace and security. On a personal note, this Israel Girl’s rather fond of you, President Obama. Your approach however, to Iran’s nuclear program is absurd.

Let’s start with your “Cairo speech,” specifically–Iran has the right to nuclear materials for energy. Why should we entrust Iran with anything nuclear when they’re

Iranian Nuclear Negotiations: Time Stands Still Like Mad Hatter's Tea Party

Iranian Nuclear Negotiations: Time Stands Still Like Mad Hatter's Tea Party

the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism? We’d be wiser giving nuclear material to the Ku Klux Klan at the height of the Civil Rights Movement–and that’s just preposterous.

I realize President Obama, you want to take the high road–the lawyerly approach; impose logic and diplomacy. The problem is Iran’s government is like Wonderland–chaotic, defying logic, topsy turvy, and everything’s the opposite what’s said and done.

Are the Iranians already stalling for time? Haven’t you heard the Mad Hatter–in Wonderland,

Ahmadinedjad: "Off with [the West's] Head!!"

Ahmadinedjad: "Off with the West's Head!"

it’s 6 o’clock, teatime all the time. In fact, the mad man Hatter, murdered time.

President Obama, at times you appear to be like naive Alice, trying to impose order on a cruel, chaotic underworld. It wasn’t until Alice quit taking nonsense, and openly defied the evil Queen of Hearts, that she got her way.

In the meantime, while the US politely asks the Iranian regime to come around, Ahmadinejad’s screaming off with her [America and Israel's] head!

Welcome to Wonderland, President Obama.

A Fictional Tale

Angelina Jolie dishing S&M on celeb TV.  angelina-jolieStatus quo, American faire.  S&M you say?  Sounds intriguing.  Where can I get some?

Germany–world’s S&M capitol?  Too cold.

Washington DC?  CIA boys are top.  Been there, done that.

Give me something new, something fresh.  Got it–I’ll jet over to Iran for some 

Iranian Self-Flagellation

Iranian Self-Flagellation

state-sanctioned sadomasochism.  Where men self-flagellate and dominate.

They’ll strap you into hijab, strip your rights, and smack you for being naughty.  Like initiating petitions to beg the Islamic regime to let women go sans veil in public.  In betweeen smackdowns, you’ll hit the opium pipe.  Strike that–meth’s Iran’s drug du’jour.

Hit the hot spots–Tehran’s Foreign Ministry (IFM) digs.  Mein Kampf sits in the IFM shop window to get you in the mood.

Submit to Iranian intelligence and Revolutionary Guard.  Meet up with the authoritarian of my dreams?  In schoolgirl motif, I’m before the king. 

Former US Embassy Tehran, reads "Death to America"

Former US Embassy Tehran, reads "Death to America"

Ahmadinejad–upon throne enveloped in “Death to America” wall hangings.

Of course, Mr. tough talk’s dominance in public means he’d like to be whipped in private.  Basic psychology 101.  And this Israel Girl is more than happy to assist.

He feigns unworthiness.  (His “ta’arouf” –tete a tete niceties, negotiations prelude–Persian politesse.)  Ahmandinejad’s enticed to bargaining table.

In platform Louboutin’s, I tower over 5 foot Ahmadinejad.  Inferiority complex, right?  Coquette turns matriarch.  Lolitaesque garb–a ruse.  Staring up at me, he capitulates.

“On your knees,” I command.
Excited, he nods.
“Now you know who’s boss.  You’ll do what you’re told,” my whip cracks.  lolita“Your nuclear fetish’s over.”
“Who sent you?”  He quivers.
“Don’t you know who I am?”  I glare.  “We are the angels of death sent by God to turn Sodom and Gomorrah into salt.”

S&M–the new diplomatic strategy.  Clearly not Obama’s cup of tea, but just may be Hillary’s Molotov cocktail.
