ISLAMIC IRAN MULLAHS HIRING COMMUNISTS (video at the end) IN USA AND DEPLOYING AN E.M.P. NUCLEAR BOMB
By: Kenneth R. Timmerman
Iran has carried out missile tests for what could be a plan for a nuclear strike on the United States, the head of a national security panel has warned.
In testimony before the House Armed Services Committee and in remarks to a private conference on missile defense over the weekend hosted by the Claremont Institute, Dr. William Graham warned that the U.S. intelligence community “doesn’t have a story” to explain the recent Iranian tests.
One group of tests that troubled Graham, the former White House science adviser under President Ronald Reagan, were successful efforts to launch a Scud missile from a platform in the Caspian Sea.
“They’ve got [test] ranges in Iran which are more than long enough to handle Scud launches and even Shahab-3 launches,” Dr. Graham said. “Why would they be launching from the surface of the Caspian Sea? They obviously have not explained that to us.”
Another troubling group of tests involved Shahab-3 launches where the Iranians "detonated the warhead near apogee, not over the target area where the thing would eventually land, but at altitude,” Graham said. “Why would they do that?”
Graham chairs the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack, a blue-ribbon panel established by Congress in 2001. The commission examined the Iranian tests “and without too much effort connected the dots,” even though the U.S. intelligence community previously had failed to do so, Graham said.
“The only plausible explanation we can find is that the Iranians are figuring out how to launch a missile from a ship and get it up to altitude and then detonate it,” he said. “And that’s exactly what you would do if you had a nuclear weapon on a Scud or a Shahab-3 or other missile, and you wanted to explode it over the United States.”

The commission warned in a report issued in April that the United States was at risk of a sneak nuclear attack by a rogue nation or a terrorist group designed to take out our nation’s critical infrastructure.
"If even a crude nuclear weapon were detonated anywhere between 40 kilometers to 400 kilometers above the earth, in a split-second it would generate an electro-magnetic pulse [EMP] that would cripple military and civilian communications, power, transportation, water, food, and other infrastructure," the report warned.
While not causing immediate civilian casualties, the near-term impact on U.S. society would dwarf the damage of a direct nuclear strike on a U.S. city.
“The first indication [of such an attack] would be that the power would go out, and some, but not all, the telecommunications would go out. We would not physically feel anything in our bodies,” Graham said.
As electric power, water and gas delivery systems failed, there would be “truly massive traffic jams,” Graham added, since modern automobiles and signaling systems all depend on sophisticated electronics that would be disabled by the EMP wave.
“So you would be walking. You wouldn’t be driving at that point,” Graham said.
“And it wouldn’t do any good to call the maintenance or repair people because they wouldn’t be able to get there, even if you could get through to them.”
The food distribution system also would grind to a halt as cold-storage warehouses stockpiling perishables went offline. Even warehouses equipped with backup diesel generators would fail, because “we wouldn’t be able to pump the fuel into the trucks and get the trucks to the warehouses,” Graham said.
The United States “would quickly revert to an early 19th century type of country.” except that we would have 10 times as many people with ten times fewer resources, he said. “Most of the things we depend upon would be gone, and we would literally be depending on our own assets and those we could reach by walking to them,” Graham said.
America would begin to resemble the 2002 TV series, “Jeremiah,” which depicts a world bereft of law, infrastructure, and memory. In the TV series, an unspecified virus wipes out the entire adult population of the planet.
In an EMP attack, the casualties would be caused by our almost total dependence on technology for everything from food and water, to hospital care. Within a week or two of the attack, people would start dying, Graham says.
“People in hospitals would be dying faster than that, because they depend on power to stay alive. But then it would go to water, food, civil authority, emergency services. And we would end up with a country with many, many people not surviving the event.”
Asked just how many Americans would die if Iran were to launch the EMP attack it appears to be preparing, Graham gave a chilling reply. “You have to go back into the 1800s to look at the size of population” that could survive in a nation deprived of mechanized agriculture, transportation, power, water, and communication.
“I’d have to say that 70 to 90 percent of the population would not be sustainable after this kind of attack,” he said.
America would be reduced to a core of around 30 million people — about the number that existed in the decades after America’s independence from Great Britain.
The modern electronic economy would shut down, and America would most likely revert to “an earlier economy based on barter,” the EMP commission’s report on Critical National Infrastructure concluded earlier this year.
In his recent congressional testimony, Graham revealed that Iranian military journals, translated by the CIA at his commission’s request, “explicitly discuss a nuclear EMP attack that would gravely harm the United States.”
Furthermore, if Iran launched its attack from a cargo ship plying the commercial sea lanes off the East coast — a scenario that appears to have been tested during the Caspian Sea tests — U.S. investigators might never determine who was behind the attack.
Because of the limits of nuclear forensic technology, it could take months. And to disguise their traces, the Iranians could simply decide to sink the ship that had been used to launch it, Graham said.
Several participants in last weekend’s conference in Dearborn, Mich., hosted by the conservative Claremont Institute argued that Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was thinking about an EMP attack when he opined that “a world without America is conceivable.”
In May 2007, then Undersecretary of State John Rood told Congress that the U.S. intelligence community estimates that Iran could develop an ICBM capable of hitting the continental United States by 2015. But Iran could put a Scud missile on board a cargo ship and launch from the commercial sea lanes off America’s coasts well before then.
The only thing Iran is lacking for an effective EMP attack is a nuclear warhead, (ALAN: - NOT SO, THEY HAVE UP TO HALF A DOZEN WITH ENOUGH BANG FOR AN EMP but did not have a good delivery system) and no one knows with any certainty when that will occur.
The latest U.S. intelligence estimate states that Iran could acquire the fissile material for a nuclear weapon as early as 2009, or as late as 2015, or possibly later. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld first detailed the “Scud-in-a-bucket” threat during a briefing in Huntsville, Ala., on Aug. 18, 2004.
While not explicitly naming Iran, Rumsfeld revealed that “one of the nations in the Middle East had launched a ballistic missile from a cargo vessel. They had taken a short-range, probably Scud missile, put it on a transporter-erector launcher, lowered it in, taken the vessel out into the water, peeled back the top, erected it, fired it, lowered it, and covered it up.
And the ship that they used was using a radar and electronic equipment that was no different than 50, 60, 100 other ships operating in the immediate area.”
Iran’s first test of a ship-launched Scud missile occurred in spring 1998, and was mentioned several months later in veiled terms by the Commission to Assess the Ballistic Missile Threat to the United States, a blue-ribbon panel also known as the Rumsfeld Commission.
I was the first reporter to mention the Iran sea-launched missile test in an article appearing in the Washington Times in May 1999. Intelligence reports on the launch were “well known to the White House but have not been disseminated to the appropriate congressional committees,” I wrote.
Such a missile “could be used in a devastating stealth attack against the United States or Israel for which the United States has no known or planned defense.”
Few experts believe that Iran can be deterred from launching such an attack by the threat of massive retaliation against Iran.
They point to a December 2001 statement by former Iranian President Ali Akbar Hashemi-Rafsanjani, who mulled the possibility of Israeli retaliation after an Iranian nuclear strike.
“The use of an atomic bomb against Israel would destroy Israel completely, while [the same] against Islamic Iran only would cause damages. Such a scenario is not inconceivable,” Rafsanjani said at the time.
Rep. Trent Franks, R, Ariz., plans to introduce legislation next week that would require the Pentagon to lay the groundwork for an eventual military strike against Iran, to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and EMP capability.
Alan note: Iran has had EMP technology capability for some years.
“An EMP attack on America would send us back to the horse and buggy era — without the horse and buggy,” he told the Claremont Institute conference on Saturday.
“If you’re a terrorist, this is your ultimate goal, your ultimate asymmetric weapon.”
Noting Iran’s recent sea-launched and mid-flight warhead detonation tests, Rep. Franks concluded, “They could do it — either directly or anonymously by putting some freighter out there on the ocean.”
The only possible deterrent against Iran is the prospect of failure, Dr. Graham and other experts agreed. And the only way the United States could credibly threaten an Iranian missile strike would be to deploy effective national missile defenses.
“It’s well known that people don’t go on a diet until they’ve had a heart attack,” said Claremont Institute president Brian T. Kennedy. “And we as a nation are having a heart attack” when it comes to the threat of an EMP attack from Iran.
“As of today, we have no defense against such an attack. We need space-based missile defenses to protect against an EMP attack,” he told Newsmax. Rep. Franks said he remains surprised at how partisan the subject of space-based missile defenses remain. “Nuclear missiles don’t discriminate on party lines when they land,” he said.
Arizona Republican Sen. Jon Kyl, a long-standing champion of missile defense, told the Claremont conference on Friday that Sen. Obama has opposed missile defense tooth and nail and as president would cut funding for these programs dramatically.
“Senator Obama has been quoted as saying, ‘I don’t agree with a missile defense system,’ and that we can cut $10 billion of the research out — never mind, as I say, that the entire budget is $9.6 billion, or $9.3 billion,” Kyl said.
Like Franks, Kyl believes that the only way to eventually deter Iran from launching an EMP attack on the United States is to deploy robust missile defense systems, including space-based interceptors.
The United States “needs a missile defense that is so strong, in all the different phases we need to defend against . . . that countries will decide it’s not worth coming up against us,” Kyl said.
“That’s one of the things that defeated the Soviet Union. That’s one of the ways we can deal with these rogue states . . . and also the way that we can keep countries that are not enemies today, but are potential enemies, from developing capabilities to challenge us.

"On July 9 (1994), Workers World Party Chairperson Sam Marcy sent the following statement to Comrade Kim Jong Il, the Central Committee of the Workers Party of Korea and the State Funeral Committee of President Kim Il Sung.":
At the center of Code Pink is legendary leftist organizer Medea Benjamin, the 50-year-old mother of two widely credited as a chief organizing force behind the 1999 Seattle riots in which 50,000 protesters did millions of dollars worth of property damage in their effort to shut down meetings of the World Trade Organization.
The United for Peace coalition, which includes Socialist Action and the Socialist Party USA, is also led by Leslie Cagan, who has a long history of activism with the American Communist Party.
The ties that continue to bind Benjamin, Cagan and the others behind Code Pink and today’s anti-war movement were formed in the early-to-mid 1980s when the still young Marxist-American activists found the cause that first unified them: a communist government in Nicaragua.
Benjamin worked as a project coordinator for Institute for Food and Development Policy (IFDP), which was widely credited with aiding the Marxist Sandinista regime while Cagan, coordinator of the National Mobilization for Justice and Peace in Central America, led marches against US aid to the contras at home that at times attracted upwards of 75,000 people.
In the 1990s, Benjamin and other Code Pink Marxists focused their energies on organizing sometimes-violent protests against free trade across the globe, targeting large corporations with high-profile campaigns and lawsuits that cost consumers and companies like Gap, Nike and Starbucks millions of dollars.
The Code Pink ladies have been biding their time ever since, reaching out to middle America, building their contact lists and dreaming of the Marxist America that might one day be.

For anyone who doesn't know it, the so-called "anti-war" group International A.N.S.W.E.R. was formed by leaders of the Workers World Party - WWP (and mere days after the 911 attacks).
WWP is a collection of pro-North Korea Stalinists based in New York City. When A.N.S.W.E.R. was eventually outed as a communist front, WWP started up a new "peace" group called Troops Out Now.
Democrat chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Charlie Rangel, actually gives speeches at their rallies and the New York City media looks the other way -also is never confronted by Hannity or O'Reilly about it, despite his almost weekly appearances on their programs.

Like any other group, Communists come in a lot of shapes, sizes and colors. This time they’re wearing pink, they’re on the nightly news, and more than anything, they want the mothers and grandmothers of America to identify with them.
Like any other group, Communists come in a lot of shapes, sizes and colors. This time they’re wearing pink, they’re on the nightly news, and more than anything, they want the mothers and grandmothers of America to identify with them.
If you didn’t know any better, you’d think the leaders of the women’s anti-war group Code Pink got lost on their way to the carpool line.
Since October, these hot pink-clad "marching moms" have been spinning the same tale to reporters from coast to coast, the one about how concern for their families moved them to trade their oven mitts for placards and take to the streets in protest of an unjust war on Iraq.
They’ve played the part so convincingly that over the last six months, they’ve become the media darlings of war protest movement, raking in the television talk show invites and making national news when they were arrested in front of the White House.
But the untold story is what they were doing before October.
Unless you travel in Marxist circles or work for the FBI or CIA, the names of the Code Pink moms may not ring a bell with you, though you’ve probably been reading news reports about their collective exploits for years.
In the wake of their war against capitalism and self-determination, they’ve left a trail of anarchy and destruction that has cost property owners, corporations and consumers millions of dollars.
Naturally, they’ve toned their Marxist rhetoric down for their stint with Code Pink.
Though they’ve taken great pains to differentiate themselves from the other, more radical anti-war protesters, they are one and the same.
The leaders of Code Pink didn’t merely take part in the Washington and San Francisco protests that made international headlines – they also organized them.
In the process, they’ve provided a rare public glimpse of the faces behind the modern, highly organized American Marxist movement.
Alan note: using Code Pink and the WWP group, the Mullahs have organized a nationwide campaign of street demonstrations URGING Americans to pressure our government NOT TO ATTACK IRAN.
Needless to say, these women have little in common with the carpool moms of America.
At the center of Code Pink is legendary leftist organizer Medea Benjamin, the 50-year-old mother of two widely credited as a chief organizing force behind the 1999 Seattle riots in which 50,000 protesters did millions of dollars worth of property damage in their effort to shut down meetings of the World Trade Organization.
In addition to Code Pink, Benjamin’s San Francisco-based human rights organization Global Exchange was the founding force for United for Peace and Justice coalition, the nexus of the anti-war protests.
The United for Peace coalition, which includes Socialist Action and the Socialist Party USA, is also led by Leslie Cagan, who has a long history of activism with the American Communist Party.
If you want to know what anti-war activities United for Peace and its more radical partner, Act Now To Stop War & End Racism (ANSWER) have planned for the near future or contact information for how you can join in, you can click on the Communist World Workers Party website, one of the central grassroots clearing houses for communist organizers in the United States and around the world.
The mindset of Benjamin and her friends can best be summed up by her description in the San Francisco Chronicle of how she felt on her first pilgrimage to Cuba in the early 1980s.
Compared to life in the United States, the communist social equality of Cuba "made it seem like I died and went to heaven," Benjamin enthused. Now it appears that Benjamin is trying to recreate it here.
Alan Note: with Obama's strong. lifelong Leftist, even Communist background, including his Kenyan close family members, he has enormous favor with these Communist groups and their ability to organize is being tested by Iran's Mullahs. Who, incidentally, want Obama as their president in the USA.
The ties that continue to bind Benjamin, Cagan and the others behind Code Pink and today’s anti-war movement were formed in the early-to-mid 1980s when the still young Marxist-American activists found the cause that first unified them: a communist government in Nicaragua.
Using the same sort of incestuous, sprawling coalitions they created to oppose the war in Iraq and the invasion of Afghanistan after Sept. 11, they helped aid the Marxist Sandinista regime in its struggle against the American-backed Contras for control of the Nicaraguan government.
Benjamin worked as a project coordinator for Institute for Food and Development Policy (IFDP), which was widely credited with aiding the Marxist Sandinista regime while Cagan, coordinator of the National Mobilization for Justice and Peace in Central America, led marches against US aid to the contras at home that at times attracted upwards of 75,000 people.
When Sand Brim, the widely interviewed voice of Code Pink, insisted to the reporters who interviewed her in January that she was not an activist, just a businesswoman with reservations about war, her 1985 stint in Nicaragua must have slipped her mind.
As the executive director of Medical Aid, Brim flew an American neurosurgeon to San Salvador to operate on Marxist Revolutionary Party Commander Nidia Diaz’s hand, which had been injured in combat.
That Diaz’s group had claimed responsibility for the murders of four U.S. Marines and nine civilians two months before was apparently not an issue for Brim.
Nor were such ironies a problem for Kirsten Moller, the current executive director of Global Exchange and Code Pink organizer who, like Benjamin, also worked for IFDP in the 80s.
In the 1990s, Benjamin and other Code Pink Marxists focused their energies on organizing sometimes-violent protests against free trade across the globe, targeting large corporations with high-profile campaigns and lawsuits that cost consumers and companies like Gap, Nike and Starbucks millions of dollars.
As with the anti-war protests of the moment, the Marxist World Worker’s Party website has played a crucial organizing role in their anti-corporate activities, letting would-be agitators know when and where to show up for demonstrations.
Meanwhile, other Code Pink organizers were making a name for themselves in domestic and eco-terrorism in the 1990s. Code Pink Co-Founder Jodie Evans also sits on the board of directors of Rain Forest Action Network (RAN), a radical anti-capitalist, anti-corporate coalition of environmental groups co-founded by Mike Roselle, who also founded the domestic terrorist organization Earth Liberation Front (ELF), which along with the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) is ranked the No. 1 domestic terrorism threat by the FBI.
The FBI attributes over 600 criminal acts and $43 million in damages to the two groups since 1996. Wherever RAN pops up, you’ll also tend to find the Ruckus Society, which has trained activists for ELF/ALF. Ruckus Society organizer Steve Kretzmann, also a Code Pink coordinator, has helped train activists in the agitation tactics that have earned the Ruckus Society its reputation.
The Ruckus Society, it’s also worth mentioning, is a coalition member of Benjamin’s United for Peace and Justice.
Code Pink may be communism central for the moment, but if the past is any indication, the group will be left to die on the vine as soon as public attention shifts away from the war in Iraq.
Like the other wedge issues these activists are so skilled at creating and taking advantage of, the Iraqi conflict is little more than an opportunity to ingratiate themselves with the American public and swell their volunteer rosters while energizing and solidifying the organization they’d been building since the Seattle riots.
While it may seem chaotic with its mass of groups with varied interests, "the movement" as the organizers like to call it, is built around a simple theme: that America and the rest of the world is increasingly controlled by corporate powers that threaten democratic rights.
Its goals, as laid out by Benjamin and others in a variety of newspapers over the years, are clear-cut.
They want to redistribute wealth from the top tiers of society to the poorest Americans by raising minimum wages, choking off trade, pushing up inflation, limiting corporate growth and dragging down the stock market, cutting into the profits of the country’s largest corporations or shutting them down completely and prompting white collar layoffs.
As Benjamin explained to The Sunday Oregonian in 2000, these changes would be made slowly, perhaps over 20 years or more.
Though she admits that the above would cause an economic shakedown or even a stock-market crash, she insists the changes would lead to a "healthier, more stable economy."
"Seattle was this kind of battle cry," Benjamin told the San Jose Mercury News in 2000. "We now know we can mobilize hundreds of thousands of people." (AND BE A GOOD HIRE FOR THE MULLAHS)
But to the dismay of the movement’s organizers, September 11 crushed some of that momentum.
Ironically enough, September 11 was the day they’d planned to announce their biggest demonstration yet, which was slated to draw well over 100,000 protesters to Washington from around the world in late September. It was instead replaced with a small peace demonstration.
The Code Pink ladies have been biding their time ever since, reaching out to middle America, building their contact lists and dreaming of the Marxist America that might one day be.

IRAN HIDING UNCONTROLLED AIDS EPIDEMIC while worrying about Sanctions? AND EXECUTING DOZENS AT A TIME
FIRST A LOOK AT ISLAMIC IRAN'S LATEST EFFORTS TO WIPE OUT DISSENT - TWENTY NINE EXECUTED IN ONE DAY
CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO IF THE EMBED BELOW DOES NOT LOAD
Two brothers, named Alai, both doctors in Islamic Iran, specializing for over the past decade in AIDS and HIV treatment and control, have both been arrested and are being held incommunicado.
Reports from Islamic Iran indicate the arrests stem initially from a disclosure by the two doctors of the huge, disproportionae rate of AIDS in the holy city of Ghom, south of Tehran, specially among the students at schools for those aspiring to join the ranks of the clergy.
In addition, reports say that ayatollahs and other senior Mullahs and regime officials apparently number among those who have contracted AIDS from the pool of infected students in Ghom and elsewhere throughout the Islamic nation.
With the daily proximity and sharing of quarters by the Islamic noviate students, the obstacles the Islamic sharia laws and the Iranian culture present to a heterosexual relationship, despite denials by President Ahmadi-Nejad that there are no gays in Iran, gay sex is the most easy to practice for a major portion of the populace, whose average age is around 25-years.
Young enough to have strong sexual drives but without the money required to marry or buy sexual favors, though these favors abound for sale in Islamic Iran. Same sex relationships flourish broadly as the only viable alternative.
Societal structure and conditions lead to incredibly greater infection by AIDS in the Islamic Iran population (similar to some African nations) because one third of Islamic Iran's population is drug addicted and shares needles.
A far higher statistic than the government wants to admit and is (as usual) suppressing the information and the reliable source the two medical brothers provided in their expert and experienced capacity.
Remember, one third of 70 million residents in Islamic Iran means OVER 20 MILLION addicted people, who for whatever reasons are vulnerable to contracting and transmitting AIDS and other infectious diseases.
Islamic Iran has the highest proportion of Heroin addicts to population of any country in the world.
Remember, that for the most part these are unsophisticated, mentally restricted by religion and medically ignorant citizens, whose education has been curtailed or stunted since the fall of the Shah by religious definition of what is permitted as curriculum.
Remember, that in Islamic Iran, education for women has been restricted and edicts have been passed to prevent more than 10% admittance of females to universities.
Remember, that discussing health and personal hygiene facts offend and embarrass the sensitivities of almost every member of the population except a very narrow minority layer of the populace, including among those who live in major cities, have traveled or studied abroad and have a questing mind.
The kind of information available from Mass Media sources, as a given to us in the West, is beyond their reach.
The Islamic regime tries to eradicate challenges by stamping them out, inflicting penalty of death by execution instead of education as their tool.
The education needed would conflict with the Dark Age mores and customs they insist must be followed by Iranians trapped in a time warp, which excludes them from the modern world in which we all live and is forbidden to them.
Remember, there are over 500,000 street children and a further 100,000 homeless women in Tehran streets, who are vulerable to being forced into having sex for pay or by force, widening the epidemic potential of all this unprotected sex.
And who readily turn to solace in drugs, which the Mullahs are happy to provide as the biggest drug dealers in the land. Thus further incrasing the infection rate potential.
The regime bigwigs also encourage addiction to keep as many as possible in a stupor, desperately trying to find a way to pay for the drugs and simultaneously trying to feed themselves and their families – thus too preoccupied with daily survival to rise up against them.
Shades of the opium the British introduced into China for similar reasons. And China’s strategy some decades ago of dumping huge amounts of black tar Heroin into the USA at ridiculously low prices to addict our youth and weaken us for generations to come.
Remember, that the Persian culture, which hampers normal male and female relations, shames and shuns anyone who has contracted a sexual disease far more than in the West.
With the difference that in Islamic Iran, those with AIDS would be fearful of being EXECUTED, when interrogated under torture of how they contracted the illness, not just embarrassed.
Remember, that almost like Lemmings, the disillusioned, hopeless populace is reaching a point of no longer caring. Not about contracting the disease, less so of passing it on and so discouraged that they wonder whether being alive at all is worth it.
Three government workers killed themselves last week out of despair.
Without their unpaid wages, they were unable to feed their families. Nio food stamps nor social safety net in Islamic Iran to help them.
This is a tip of the iceberg. Suicides have increased dramatically among the youth, specially females, as people lose all hope of even a minimal existence, let alone a half-way decent life and future.
They question whether to strive and struggle in the face of skyrocketing prices for basic food and staples such as bread, potatoes, eggs or tomatoes is worth it, when trying to feed your family has become an increasingly receding possibility or achievable target.
Remember, that a good wage in Islamic Iran is $30 per month. And $300 is in a high level position’s pay scale.
Any wonder there is such intense corruption, even in a naurally corrupt Mullah environment?
For those of us in the USA, dealing with our high gas prices, recognize how the fuel prices in Iran (proportionally to incomes) are exponentially higher per capita than ours and have been rationed, so you cannot buy enough fuel to pursue your basic needs.
An already severe shortage, forbids those with luxury cars from buying fuel at subsidized but rationed prices,
There has been a rush to hoard fuel and the running comment in Isalmic Iran is that with everyone storing maximum amounts of fuel in containers at their homes, any accidental fire will turn a neighborhood or the whole city into one big fireball.
Gasoline and diesel fuel prices have quadrupled in Islamic Iran during the past weeks, which can only refine about half of its needs and imports the rest.
Remember, that the cost of putting a roof over your head has risen to near impossible to attain levels (making marriage too costly) and Islamic co-habitation sharia laws prevent having room-mates of a different sex or even easily lodging non-related couples together. (Also adding to men (not women) sharing and finding male sex partners).
Since most women cannot find jobs, thus rent a place together - apart from the ensuing vulnerability to harrassment by the Morals police - the difficulties the populace face are also multiplied by factors of hundreds when faced by women.
Which creates yet another influence in the current raging, blacked out, epidemic of AIDS in Islamic Iran. Prostituion and temporary marriages.
The latter being a formula for “legalized prostitution” as such marriages can be for as short as a few minutes or a half hour or whatever becomes the convenient time frame in which to have “close contact” and sex in conformity with sharia laws.
Unable to earn a living, women from all classes of society in Iran have turned to “turning tricks” to supplement household income. Whether living with their parents (who would be horrified unless desperate enough to close their eyes as is frequently the case these days) or married and probably explaining extra money as coming from her parents or a “rich relative”, who feels sorry for the couple and wants to help out.
Then remember, that women who get arrested for anything, nearly invariably end up being raped while in custody. Both by the guards and the Mullah judges, many of whom are infected with AIDS and have no compunction in passing it on to their victims- who “deserve to be punished this way by Allah”, since one of them probably infected them in the first place during a rape.
The Mullahs thus face more than one crisis right now, not only the threat of sanctions that loom above them as soon as in one week.
While they have managed to hide – so far – the extent of the AIDS problem inside Islamic Iran, in the recent nuclear negotiations with Al Baradei, the Mullah representative Gholamreza Aghazadeh inadvertently admitted by inference and on record that Iran is behind the problems in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon and Gaza.
He stated that if the IAEA would reopen negotiations with Islamic Iran then (paraphrased) he would reassure the IAEA the Mullahs would take care of and resolve the problems the West is facing within Iraq, in Afghanistan, with Hamas and Hezbollah - and bring down oil prices!
He apparently tried to indicate that William Burns’ presence at the EU negotiations was a sign of the thaw in the formely icy relations between the USA and Islamic Iran – as was the USA request to open an American Interests representative office in Tehran.
Burns was in effect fed up with the EU feeding the USA massaged information to prolong talks with the Mullahs without confontation and wanted to hear what was said first hand and for himself.
Clearly, from various State Dept. comments afterward, what he actually heard did not match what Solana and the EU had been passing on to the USA.
One week has passed and there appears to be a consensus among pundits that Iran will not agree to stop enriching uranium by the deadline in one week.
Nor will whatever reply they bring to the table serve as a nuptial between the Mullahs and the USA leading to a 9-month pregnancy period for more talks.
Meanwhile Russia has denied that the new Mullah purchase of further ground to air missiles from Russia, will be delivered by the end of this year as Israel fears.
Notably, the same kind of missile system that was purchased with Tehran money from the Russians for Syria, failed to respond as did the early warning alarms attached to the system, when Israel bombed a Korean nuclear plant being established in Syria.
The uncertainty of whether the same Russian missiles will work for Islamic Iran in the event of an Israeli iar strike, now possibly out of a short five minute flight from Haditha in Iraq has the Mullahs more han worried.
With food, gasoline and money shortages hitting the Iranian populace with hunger, inability to commute as needed to earn money and buy food for their families and a rise in suicides from misery, the Mullah regime finds itself increasingly asked by the people what it is doing and has done with the enormous revenues from oil sales.
All the Iranian people see today is an infliction of poverty, oppression, corruption and critical discomfort in their lives.
Sad commentary but it might end up being actual hunger for food that overcomes their fears and drives them into the streets in revolt against the Mullah regime. In some way similar to the recent bread riots in Eqypt.
Severe sanctions in the works by the West, include:
banning of all flights to and from Iran,
banning oil purchase from Iran,
banning sales of gasoline or diesel fuels to the Mullahs,
freezing all bank transactions to/from Iran,
banning all ports from accepting ships to/from Iran, including oil tankers and
an embargo on all Iranian exports.
While China, with a $300 BILLION oil and gas contract in hand with the Islamic regime may scuttle the effectiveness of some of this, Russia may decide to abide by it when there is so much unity of purpose by the West and avoid the risk of having (mutually counter-productive) EU and American embargoes being aimed at them.
China has huge trade and financial ties with the USA and holds a very strong hand in financially destroying the American economy if push comes to shove. And an off-the-wall possibility of sending hordes of military into Iran to “maintain the stability of the region and protect Chinese interests”.
Russia has little enough trade with the USA and also less damaging power but can hurt the EU by stopping fossil fuel exports in that direction.
Regardless of these peripheral implications, Islamic Iran cannot overcome the sanctions and survive solely on Chinese and Russian support.
Nor in most military estimates, has the ability to prevent oil passage through the Persian Gulf for very long, before response by the West wipes out any such capability and perhaps invades the Khuzestan oil region, declaring it a protectorate for the benefit of mankind or global security.
Plus efforts to impede oil flow would be an act of war and permit Israel and Western allies to bomb Iran nuclear facilities and perhaps turn it into a glass surfaced parking lot.
The near future will divulge the reality what is about to happen, none of it wil be without pain for the West but far less than if we allow Iran to have nuclear weapons to leverage their power and stategies.

In Islamic circles where it is a common, accepted practise, pederasty or sodomy is NOT considered a "gay" act.
However if two men perform oral sex on each other, THAT is being gay. Go figure!

AN EMPRESS MOURNS HER HUSBAND AND GRIEVES FOR HER PEOPLE
Her Imperial Majesty, Empress Farah grieves for His Imperial Majesty, Mohamad Reza Shah Pahlavi, Shahanshah Aryamehr at his tomb in Egypt on the July 25th anniversary of his death.
Not only are the mighty so sadly fallen but how they are missed by so many of us who grieve his passing which threw well over three million Persians into exile in other lands.
And descended tens of millions more into the HELL of Mullah oppression, suppression, TORTURE and harsh death in Islamic prisons, inside their own borders.
And caused the deaths of a million more they sent at Iraqi forces to die as cannon fodder with plastic keys to Paradise hanging around their necks.
And the tens of thousands of teenage and preteen children, many with wooden, toy guns they sent charging to die to clear Iraqi mine fields, wiping out more than a big slice of a generation of future Persians.
The average age in Iran is now around 25-years old. Speaks for itself. And burial grounds have filled and been expanded into small cities - beyond recognition as cemeteries.
The same Mullahs who are now risking the raining of death and destruction on the suffering populace by refusing to stop manufacturing nuclear weapons and inviting a desperate effort to prevent them from destroying large parts of the world once they attain a sufficient number of nuclear bombs.
WANNABE COMMANDER IN CHIEF REFUSED TO TALK TO OUR SOLDIERS IN AFGHANISTAN
(name deleted) is the father of six and currently serving in Afghanistan. This is his (ON SCENE) take of Senator Obama's visit to "the troops".
Kind of a different take than what you will see on the "news".
Make of it what you will.
~Hello everyone,
As you know I am not a very political person. I just wanted to pass along that Senator Obama came to Bagram Afghanistan for about an hour on his visit to "The War Zone!!".
I wanted to share with you what happened:
He got off the plane and got into a bullet proof vehicle, got to the area to meet with the Major General (2 Star) who is the commander here at Bagram.
As the Soldiers were lined up to shake his hand he blew them off and didn't say a word as he went into the conference room to meet the General.
As he finished, the vehicles took him to the ClamShell (pretty much a big top tent that military personnel can play basketball or work out in with weights) so he could take his publicity pictures playing basketball.
He again shunned the opportunity to talk to Soldiers to thank them for their service.
So really he was just here to make a showing for the American's back home that he is their candidate for President.
I think that if you are going to make an effort to come all the way over here you would thank those that are providing the freedom that they are providing for you.
I swear we got more thanks from the NBA Basketball Players or the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders than from one of our Senators, who wants to be the President of the United States.?
I just don't understand how anyone would want him to be our Commander-in-Chief.
It was almost that he was scared to be around those that provide the freedom for him and our great country.
If this is blunt and to the point I am sorry but I wanted you all to know what kind of caliber of person he really is.
What you see in the news is all fake.
In service,

He again shunned the opportunity to talk to Soldiers to thank them for their service.
So really he was just here to make a showing for the American's back home that he is their candidate for President.
I think that if you are going to make an effort to come all the way over here you would thank those that are providing the freedom that they are providing for you.
I swear we got more thanks from the NBA Basketball Players or the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders than from one of our Senators, who wants to be the President of the United States.?
I just don't understand how anyone would want him to be our Commander-in-Chief.
It was almost that he was scared to be around those that provide the freedom for him and our great country.
If this is blunt and to the point I am sorry but I wanted you all to know what kind of caliber of person he really is.
What you see in the news is all fake.
In service,

THE ENEMY WITHIN ISLAMIC IRAN
By Alireza Jafarzadeh
(Alan notes or emphasis in red)
The ayatollahs continue to enrich uranium, despite the high-profile meeting on July 19, 2008 in Geneva between Tehran's top nuclear negotiator and senior western diplomats representing the Group of 5+1 (which Obama calls 3+3). No surprise there.
They are banking their regime's survival on nuclear capability.
Ali Larijani, Iran's former nuclear negotiator, once said that giving in to the West's demands that Iran suspend its enrichment would be suicide.
But, however much their regional role is tied to developing a nuclear weapon, domestically their grip is being challenged on a daily basis. Indeed, the backbone of the ayatollahs' regime, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), is being revamped at great haste, primarily to cope with rising dissent.
The region's changing geo-strategic dynamics coupled with sanctions targeting the IRGC, and its terrorist elite unit, the Qods Force, are also factors.
According to intelligence gathered by the Iranian Resistance's network inside Iran, on June 28, 2008, Mohammad Ali (Aziz) Jafari, the IRGC Commander-in-Chief, launched a major reorganization of the Corps.
The scale of this re-org is unprecedented since the 1985 re-vamp, when the clerical regime's founder Ayatollah Khomeini ordered the IRGC split into three branches - Army, Navy and Air force.
The new structure changes the IRGC from a centralized to a decentralized force with 31 provincial corps, whose commanders wield extensive authority and power. According to the plan, each of Iran's thirty provinces will have a provincial corps, except Tehran Province, which will have two.

The key questions are why, and why now.
A look back at the summer of 2005, when Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was propelled to the presidency, provides some insight. His rise came about through a "complex and multi-layered" plan devised by the Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, and (strong pressure from) the IRGC top brass.
With Khamenei's backing, the IRGC had already taken the reins of power in most key areas. (Down to mid-low level supervisors)
Ahmadinejad's presidency placed the IRGC atop the executive branch, and the metamorphosis of the IRGC into a politico-military force was complete.
Khamenei then sought to implement a strategy reflecting the new pecking order. To this end, on August 21, 2005, just days after Ahmadinejad's inauguration, he ordered the formation of the IRGC Strategic Research Center and appointed then Brig. General Jafari as its head.
Within two years, the Strategic Research Center developed the new strategy, whose main components are:
1) A reign of terror on the populace;
2) Terrorist suicide operations capable of striking at the "enemy", including on "enemy" soil;
3) Increasing Iran's missile strike capability;
4) Acquiring nuclear weapons capability.
With a new strategy at hand and the IRGC in control, Khamenei felt all the pieces were in place. He was mistaken.
According to reports from within the IRGC, Khamenei soon realized there were growing problems with IRGC personnel.
With Ahmadinejad's cabinet at the helm, many veteran IRGC Brig. Generals gravitated toward political, cultural and naturally, economic realms. Not only were they disinclined to fight, but they were also reluctant even to wear the IRGC uniform. (Almost all major projects in Islamic Iran have been awarded - with uncontrolled HUGE cost overruns - to th eIRGC or their "industrial" surrogates.
Almost a year ago, feeling the effects of internal unrest and foreign pressure worsening, Khamenei dismissed Major General Rahim Safavi, once a darling of the radical factions but later described by Ahmadinejad's cronies as a "liberal" and softy.
On September 1, 2007, Khamene'i promoted Mohammad Ali Jafari, a friend of Ahmadinejad, to the rank of Major General and appointed him IRGC Commander.
On October 20, 2007, in his first public statement following his appointment, Jafari explained that "According to the judgment of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, the Guards' strategy has changed. Accordingly, the Guards' primary mission at this juncture is to fight the internal threats."
He added: "Internal security and its preservation are the tasks of the State Security Forces and other security organs. But if the problems go beyond a certain point, then the Guards - with the permission of the Supreme National Security Council and the Supreme Leader - will take charge."
According to one of the regime's analysts, "The whole security environment is intended to really suffocate or torpedo any possible change from within."
(With this in mind, Khamenei recently appointed the new Commander of the Bassiji Suppression forces above the Commander of the IRGC).
In February 2008, Jafari acknowledged the regime's inability to uproot the opposition, saying, "Animosity toward our revolution is never-ending. As we move forward, the battle between the revolutionaries and counter-revolutionaries becomes more critical and complicated."
Jafari has stressed that the IRGC's new strategy entails two essential components: accurate intelligence about enemy activities, and an increase in the regime's missile capabilities.
Earlier this month, he told reporters that the IRGC "is equipped with the most advanced missiles that can strike the enemies' vessels and naval equipment with fatal blows."
Back in May, he was quoted by the state-run Fars news agency as saying that "An independent command might be created in IRGC in order to fortify the structure and activities of the missile section."
Another of Jafari's priorities during the past ten months has been dealing with the wave of retirements, buy-outs, and resignations by IRGC Brig. Generals.
Obviously, these coincided with Khamenei's efforts to tune the regime's military apparatus with the threat of a military confrontation.
Khamenei found he had no option but to purge most of the commanders of the eight-year Iran-Iraq war and replace them with post-war commanders.
This explains why a good many of the twenty provincial commanders announced since June 28 have lower ranks than Brig. General, which means they were lower-ranking officers during the Iran-Iraq war.
In May, Jafari alluded to Khamenei's unhappiness with the old-timers. Speaking at a ceremony introducing the new commander of Tehran's paramilitary Bassij Force (tasked with internal security), Jafari said that "in the past few years" there had been "negligence" about "domestic security" in the IRGC.
Calling for a reorganization and review of the IRGC's mission, he added that the negligence was due to "a few good years" during the Iran-Iraq war, when the IRGC pursued mainly "military activities" and paid "little attention to other aspects" of its responsibilities, meaning preserving the theocratic regime against popular dissent.
Strengthening Bassij Force has been the core element in the IRGC re-org. (TWO MILLION new recruits have been added to the Bassiji throughout the country).
The revamping of the IRGC underscores the reality that while the ayatollahs' foreign policy imperatives are to establish a client state in Iraq and acquire a nuclear weapon, domestically they are at risk from the Iranian people and their democratic resistance movement - the enemy within.
The success of this domestic movement is the key to a non-nuclear, peaceful Iran and to an independent and democratic Iraq.

OBAMA! VIEW THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN IRAN!
Obama wants to chat on a friendly basis with the Mullahs of Iran who have imposed this life style on a MAJORITY of their populace.
500,000 homeless street children in the capital city of Tehran alone battle freezing, snow and ice filled streets in winter and searing heat in summe where you can fry an egg on some sidewalks.
They vie for food and begging alms with some 100,000 rejected abandoned, jobless women - again just in Tehran, trying to survive under the same conditions.
Misery sends about 30% of the population of 70 million into drug use and abuse as partially depicted in the video below. In America this percentage would equal the total population of Iran
And at least two "formal" executions a day. Nobody really knows how many more are murdered daily in over 100 "unofficial/private" prisons operated by security forces of many kinds. They are arrested and never reappear.
If and when bodies are returned to relatives, the new trick used is to entomb them in a block of concrete first.
Any physical abuse marks on the bodies are thus kept from prying eyes or can be blamed on relatives during rhe removal of the concrete cover.

RUMOR - OBAMA TO SECRETLY VISIT MECCA
ACTUAL SIGN NEXT TO HIGHWAY TO MECCA
Unsubstantiated reports say that Obama, while denying any Moslem ties, plans to visit Mecca, where only Moslems are welcome and permitted in a secret overnight on his way back from his Middle East tour.
Reportedly to fulfill a long held personal vow and to balance out his visit to Israel in Islamic eyes.
The Obama campaign has refused to discuss any of this beyond denials or challenging the truth. The Press will not be allowed to accompany the Presidential candidate on this alleged covert visit.
As the graphic below shows, the only difference between o-B-ama and o-S-ama is just a bit of B.S.
In fact a misprint (see below) aimed at the Mullah community has Osama 08 as the campaign emblem.
All this illustrates the type of Main Stream Media bias presented against McCain, which usually has less veracity than even this.
WAKE UP AMERICA, YOUR PRESS AND TV NETWORKS ARE DISTORTING THE TRUTH TO DECEIVE YOU WITH BIASED BLATHER LIKE THE ABOVE.
Their biased reporting, favoring Obama and ignoring or blocking McCain reaching the public, should fall under illegal election contributions to Obama.

MORE SNEAKY (ILLEGAL?) OBAMA FUND RAISING & HAS NBC NEWS GONE NUTS?

Campaign tries to keep supporters from seeing controversy over fundraising lottery
As reported previously WINNERS WERE ALREADY PICKED in advance of the final deadline.
http://husaria.wordpress.com/2008/07/20/were-obamas-lottery-winners-picked-in-advance/
The Obama campaign, in response to complaints from Minnesota’s Department of Public Safety, modified its fundraising lottery to allow people to enter without making a donation.
It was the opinion of Minnesota law enforcement that, prior to this change, the need to make at least a small donation in exchange for a chance toan expenses-paid trip to the Democratic National Convention constituted an illegal lottery.
There is also a question as to whether the winners were really picked randomly, noting that a previous lottery winner was announced before the entry deadline.
The Obama campaign is afraid, and rightly so, that its use of questionable fundraising methods will alienate its supporters, so it is doing its best to censor this information so as to keep supporters and contributors from seeing it.
The campaign’s moderators and administrators deleted the following blog entry from my.barackobama.com, doubtlessly because they do not want the site’s users to know that the campaign ran what might be an illegal lottery.
...The Obama campaign pulled this blog entry off its site even though it was critical of Rush Limbaugh, doubtlessly because the campaign obviously does not want its supporters and donors to look into the issue of whether the campaign was funding itself with an illegal lottery.
This is something the Obama campaign is terrified that its own donors might see, so we encourage our readers to circulate this story as widely as possible.
Once a would-be Messiah’s followers see through him and realize that he is a fraud, it is all over for him.
It's bad enough that Barack Obama's trip to the Middle East is getting an insane amount of MSM coverage (the three big network news anchors? Whoa!); now, NBC News believes it apt to compare Obama's sojourn to ... an actual military tour of duty. Yes indeed. Check out at right how anchor Lester Holt introduces last evening's Nightly News.
Here's another misleading image of his tour of duty as a "Marine". He has never served!!
And this is what he and his mentors think of the American Flag
OBAMA-ISTS THREATEN COMPUTER EXPERT
Deepest thanks and appreciation for Techdude's unwavering commitment to the truth despite the threats and harassment, the slashed tires and the dead animal on his porch. THIS EXPERT HAS PROVEN THE OBAMA BIRTH CERTIFICATE IS FALSIFIED. (Scroll down to article below)
THE FANATICS WHO SUPPORT HIM - POSSIBLY OF THE MULLAH FLAVOR WHO OPENLY FAVOR HIM AND BEHAVE LIKE THAT IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY - SHOW HOW THEY WOULD GOVERN IF IN POWER AND WILL EXPECT OBAMA TO BE LIKE THEM. ACTUALLY SUPPORT HIM BECAUSE THEY THINK HE REALLY IS LIKE THEM!
Insofar as "techdude's" credentials, he is an active member of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, American College of Forensic Examiners, The International Society of Forensic Computer Examiners, International Information Systems Forensics Association - the list goes on.
He is also board certified as a forensic computer examiner, a certificated legal investigator, and a licensed private investigator. He has been performing computer based forensic investigations since 1993 (although back then it did not even have a formal name yet) and he has performed countless investigations since then.

TERRORISTS TO BODYGUARD OBAMA
By Aaron Klein
JERUSALEM – Members of the most active West Bank terror organization are set to serve in security forces being deployed to protect Sen. Barack Obama during his trip to the West Bank tomorrow, WND has learned.
Obama is due to visit Israeli officials in Jerusalem and leaders of the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank city of Ramallah as part of a wider Middle Eastern and European tour that includes Jordan, France and Germany.
According to security officials coordinating deployments of forces with the PA for Obama's Ramallah visit, members of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, Fatah's declared military wing, have been called upon by the PA to participate in the protection of Obama, particularly in securing the perimeter during a scheduled meeting with PA President Mahmoud Abbas.
The Brigades is listed as a terror organization by the U.S. State Department.
The group took credit along with the Islamic Jihad terror organization for every suicide bombing in Israel between 2005 and 2006 and is responsible for thousands of shootings and rocket firings.
Statistically, the Al Aqsa Brigades perpetuated more terrorism from the West Bank than Hamas, according to the Israeli Defense Forces.
Brigades leaders, speaking to WND on condition of anonymity, confirmed they will participate in protecting Obama as official members of the PA's security forces.
Many Brigades members, including the group's chiefs, serve openly in Fatah's Force 17 presidential guard units and the Palestinian Preventative Security Services; hundreds of Force 17 and Preventative officers are slated to secure Ramallah during Obama's visit there.
The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades members are slated to serve in a third ring of security forces patrolling the periphery of Abbas' Ramallah compound during the Palestinian leader's meeting with Obama.
The Israeli Defense Forces, working with U.S. Security coordinators, will protect the main West Bank highway Obama's convoy will use to approach Ramallah.
Security for Obama will be largely turned over to the Palestinians once he enters Ramallah, although security plans are being heavily coordinated with the U.S.
Various high-profile Al Aqsa Brigades terrorists serve in Fatah's security forces, including those in Ramallah. The current chief of Fatah's Force 17, Abu Hayyet, is accused by Israel of planning or involvement in at least 10 deadly terror attacks, according to Israeli security officials.
Abbas previously appointed senior Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades leader Mahmoud Damra as commander of Force 17, a major, U.S.-financed Fatah security force.
Damra, who was arrested by Israel last November, was on the Jewish state's most-wanted list of terrorists.
The chief of the Brigades in Ramallah also serves in the Preventative Security Services.
Both Israeli and Palestinian security officials, speaking to WND, said there was no known threat to Obama.
Al Aqsa Brigades members doubling as PA security officers previously participated in security for other visiting U.S. Officials without incident.
One Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades member who doubles as a PA security force officer and who is set to protect Obama, joked if there was any threat to the presidential candidate it will come from Israel:
"Maybe the Israelis will try something because of Obama's policy on Israel, which the Zionists don't like, but we will certainly protect Obama.
We are professional security forces," the Al Aqsa member said.
The information Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades members will protect Obama comes after Israel announced last week it arrested six Arabs who allegedly were plotting to assassinate President Bush on behalf of al-Qaida.
Israel's Shin Bet Security Services released for publication that it had arrested six Arabs – two of them Israeli citizens and the other four Palestinian residents of eastern Jerusalem – for attempting to set up an al-Qaida cell with plans to shoot down Bush's helicopter during the president's recent visit to Israel.
