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

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.

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.

Social Media at its Best

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.

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:

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.

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”–
