IRAN - DRONES SLAM INTO REACTOR DOME
Air Crash Near Bushehr, Drones Slam Into Reactor Dome
Debkafiles - August 17, 2010
Two mysterious incidents are reported in the run-up to the fueling up of Iran's first nuclear reactor Saturday, Aug. 21
Tuesday, Aug. 17, an Iranian F4 Phantom fighter jet was claimed by Tehran to have crashed 6 kilometers north of the Bushehr nuclear reactor in southern Iran. Military sources report it was shot down by Russian-made TOR-M1 air-missile defense batteries guarding the reactor. A local government official Gholam Reza Keshtkar said the pilot and co-pilot ejected from the plane before it crashed and were rushed to hospital.
The TOR-M1 is designed to intercept planes or missiles coming in at medium or very low altitudes in case of American or Israeli attack.
Our sources ask: How did the Phantom penetrate to a distance of 6 kilometers from the reactor when its skies up to a 20-kilometer radius are a no-fly zone?
Perhaps the Bushehr's air defense system is slow to pick up intruders - although it is known to have been on high alert since a previous incident on Aug. 1. Or else it may been activated when inquiries to Iranian Air Force command about the jet's identity and mission failed to elicit a satisfactory reply.
Our Iranian sources report extreme edginess in Tehran ahead of August 21 when the Russian-built Bushehr reactor enters its first operational phase in the presence of high-ranking officials from Moscow. Tuesday afternoon, after the fighter jet crashed, the foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast warned "any aggression against the Bushehr nuclear plant can provoke serious reactions. Based on international rules, a facility with nuclear fuel cannot be damaged" All the Bushehr defensive systems have been on the highest alert since a previous incident first revealed on Aug. 6.
On Aug. 1, three unidentified UAVs slammed into the reactor buildings, scaring the townspeople who were sure the plant was under American or Israeli attack.
After the heads of government in Tehran put their heads together to try and identify the drones, without success, the defense ministry emerged with a communiqué reporting that a single drone had crashed on the nuclear reactor's dome, but insisted it was launched by Iran's Revolutionary Guards to test the alertness of the air defense personnel guarding it and the effectiveness of its anti-air radar system.
AccordinG to Iranian and intelligence sources, Bushehr citizens were sure they heard three mighty explosions - not one. So the deputy district governor for security affairs, Mohammad Hossein Shenidi, who is responsible for safeguarding Bushehr and its reactors against air or missile attacks, pitched in with a lighter version of the communiqué: A single drone had indeed been fired, he admitted, but it carried no explosives because its only purpose was to simulate a loud bang to check the level of local alertness.
According to our sources, the townspeople were correct: Three drones hit the reactor killing at least five of its staff members.
Tuesday afternoon, another Iranian high-up, defense minister Brig. Gen. Ahmad Vahidi, talked to reporters. He declared that the "long range UAV called Karrar would be unveiled on this day" - an apparent reference to the debkafile report of Monday, Aug. 16, that the death of Iran's drone program head Reza Baruni had buried the program for years go come.
Regarding the delay in Moscow's delivery of S-300 anti-aircraft missile system, Vahidi declared: "We build whatever we want inside the country… and the production of long-range air defense system in Iran is already on the agenda of the defense ministry."
Former US envoy to the UN John Bolton Tuesday Aug. 17 repeated his warning that Israel has "eight days" to launch a military strike against Bushehr and stop Tehran from acquiring a functioning atomic plant. Once Russian loads it with fuel on Saturday, it will be too late because any attack would spread radiation and affect Iranian citizens, he said.
In the absence of an Israeli strike, said Bolton, "Iran will achieve something that no other opponent of Israel, no other opponent of the US in the Middle East really has and that is a functioning nuclear reactor."

— “In Wednesday’s interview, aired on the program “20:30,” Ashtiani blamed Mostafaei for publicizing her case and said she had never met him.”

ISLAM TERRORIZES OUR ANTI-TERROR SAFETY SYSTEMS INTO NON-FUNCTION TOWARD MOSLEMS
By Michael Coren
So let me get this right.
We have elaborate, hugely expensive, highly intrusive and time-consuming security checks at airports because of the justified fear of terrorism.
It has transformed the way we fly and made it far more expensive and difficult.
The vast, overwhelming majority of airline terrorism has been committed by Muslims in the name of Islam — yes, yes I know we’re supposed to use the word “fundamentalist,” but they don’t so why should we?
Oh, and if you doubt my statement look at the figures for successful and attempted attacks.
Yet, the Sun revealed this week: Neither airlines nor security services are asking Muslim women to lift their veils and prove that the face beneath matches their photo ID.
This became known after a passenger took and posted a video of two Muslim women with their faces covered boarding an Air Canada flight in Montreal.
Neither was asked to show their face and the man with the group carried all of the passports and was the only person to speak to the airport staff.
“I complained at the desk — and again as I boarded the plane — asking if the pilot was happy that two women boarded without being identified,” the passenger told the Sun.
“Both members of staff whom I spoke to were flustered and clearly embarrassed.”
He alleged he was subsequently threatened with a lawsuit by the airline for posting the video because it might — wait for it — infringe on security.
So the same people who demand we remove belts and shoes, who analyze our laptops and brush them for explosive powder and who now promise full-body scans are apparently frightened of asking Muslim women to show their faces beneath their veils in case it somehow offends their Islamic sensibilities.
Meaning that they might not be who they claim to be, could be terrorists, could even be men.
It has happened before several times, with criminals dressed as Muslim women committing robberies and Pakistani terrorist leaders being smuggled out of besieged buildings in burkas.
Nobody is looking to humiliate or embarrass a Muslim — it’s not as though they’re Christians and open to all sorts of insults and abuse, or Jews who are not even allowed into several Muslim countries if they’ve dared to visit family or friends in Israel — but just to be fair and equal.
The incident has now received a great deal of publicity and various government ministers have promised an investigation.
But one wonders if the culture of appeasement and fear is already too strong.
Recently I had a splendid tour of Bavaria and Prague.
Our guide, however, was an oddity. A young Dutch woman with standard leftist views, she told me how she had no time for politicians who claimed Islam was any sort of threat.
But, I said, you are Dutch and in your country a movie director was slaughtered like an animal in the street by a Muslim fanatic and a woman MP had to live with 24-hour security because she criticized some aspects of Islam.
“That happened because they offended Muslims,” replied the former social worker and generally good person. “You really should not offend them.”
No, it seems you should not.
Ask Oba-Hussein! He has weakened our physical defenses in every possible way even formally banning using the word Islam in the same sentence or text with terrorism in his administration.
So let me get this right.

Video OBAMA FACILITATES ZAKAT including the 7th Cagegory
One of the five Pillars of Islam is "Zakat", charitable giving.
You can actually go on line and download a form for calculating your zakat obligation. Basically, you list all your assets other than your personal effects, home and furnishings and cars.
Include your savings, retirement funds, refundable rental deposits, outstanding loans to others, investments, business inventory, precious metals, stocks and bonds.
Then you take two and one half percent of the total. This is your zakat obligation which must be paid annually. You will find it probably works out for most to be more than tithing would
Sharia law prescribes how Muslims must distribute their zakat. It doesn't just go to their local mosque. Rather it must be divided up eight ways.
The book of Sharia Law, "Reliance of the Traveller" contains 33 pages of detailed information regarding Zakat. One eighth of one's zakat must go to each of eight specified categories.
The seventh category is "Those fighting for Allah", those fighting in Islamic military operations. It specifically mentions these funds are needed to provide them with "weapons, mounts, clothing and expenses".
Thus, all Muslims are obligated to support the jihad being waged against the West. This includes terrorism.
NOW, view this brief video clip in which Obama expresses his intention to make it easier for Muslims to pay Zakat.

MEXICO TERRORIZING ARIZONA
Letter to the Editor of the Los Angeles Times - not holding anything back!
Hector,
I can't believe that a major metropolitan paper like the LA Times would publish drivel like your distortion-laden column I had the misfortune to read today.
The citizens of Arizona passed a law that makes it necessary to prove you are in their state LEGALLY. They are tired of paying TWO BILLION taxpayer dollars a year in medical and educational benefits to people in their state ILLEGALLY.
They are tired of the Mexican drug traffickers, kidnappings (389 last year), traffic accidents, and crime caused by ILLEGAL immigrants in their state. They are tired of citizens of a foreign country overcrowding and bankrupting their emergency rooms and schools.
They have the ABSOLUTE RIGHT to defend their state when the federal government fails to do so just like I have the right to put three hollow-points in the chest of the guy who's trying to kick in my front door when the cops don't show up.
It has been the law in this country since 1940 that foreign nationals be able to produce proof that they are here LEGALLY by way of visa, green card, etc. This "Produce your papers" and the allusions to Nazi Germany is a bunch of dishonest claptrap.
If you took time to read the Arizona law (assuming you can read English) you would see that police officers may only inquire as to an individuals immigration status in the course of a "legal contact".
The problem with you and Mexicans like you is the fact that you have this sense of entitlement that you can enter OUR COUNTRY as you please.
You come from a culture and a country with no respect for the law or the rule of law. The United States is a sovereign nation with the ABSOLUTE RIGHT to decide who does and does not enter our country.
What amuses me the most is the fact that if our illegal immigration problem was due to the influx of SWEDES, you wouldn't have written ONE WORD in the defense of their rights. It is only because they are Hispanics like you that you leap to their defense.
I find it ironic that you are truer to your Hispanic roots than you are to your American citizenship, especially since the Hispanic culture is a broke-dick, busted-ass, ignorant-ass, uneducated, going-nowhere culture and has been for the last 500 years, and in all likelihood, will be for the NEXT 500 years.
When I moved to California in 1969, Los Angeles was a clean prosperous city. Now it's broke under the weight of massive entitlements.
Now we need concertina wire to protect our freeway signs from Hispano-moron graffiti "artists'. What an enlightened culture you come from that believes that vandalizing anothers property is an art form.
Over 400 California families have lost loved ones to ILLEGAL immigrant murderers.
40% of the criminals incarcerated in our prisons at CALIFORNIA TAXPAYER EXPENSE, are ILLEGAL immigrants. Thank you so much for our overcrowded ERs, schools and freeways. Thanks also for the gangs and the drive-by shootings. In all fairness though, I like the tacos.
If I want to enter Mexico , France , England , Germany or ANY country on this earth, I need to produce a passport to do so. It's THEIR COUNTRY and I need to ask permission to do so.
HOW DARE you and your brethren think that they have some God-given right to flout our laws and come into our country of their own accord. You and people like you are the textbook example of why the fewer Mexicans we have in our country, the better our country will be.
We manage to produce a steady supply of home-grown idiots on our own, thanks very much (Exhibit A - Obama)
Good luck with your boycotts and your protests. Just remember; amigo, 70% of the people in Arizona and 65% of Americans LOVE this law.
Every time you put together thousands of protesters, you piss off MILLIONS of people like me.
Hasta la vista, baby.

HOLLAND FUNDING NEW YORK 9/11 SITE MOSQUE
GEERT WILDERS DEMANDS EXPLANATION FROM HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT WHY DUTCH GOVERNMENT IS FUNDING GROUND ZERO MEGA MOSQUE
One of my readers in the Netherlands filled me in on where some of the financing came from that the terror-tied Imam Rauf used to buy an historic landmark and demolish it to build an Islamic supremacist mega mosque at Ground Zero: the Christian Democrat party in Holland.
Insane.
I am sure that I can say that on behalf of the 3,75 million voters in the Netherlands for PVV (The centre-right political party from Geert Wilders) I offer you and your friends an apologies for our present christian (CDA) government.
This because they granted a million Euro ( US $ 1.290.000 ) to the American Society for Muslim Advancement (ASMA) from Imam Faisal Abdur Rauf who intends to build a mosque next to the grounds of the 9/11 massacre the killed over 3000 innocent people. Don't ask me why.
Geert Wilders himself demanded today in our House of Parliament from our CDA Minister of Foreign affairs:
"Do you acknowledge that it is absurd -just at Ground Zero- to build a mosque, and that this is also an insult to (the next of kin of) the victims of 9-11? If not, why not?
So the Netherlands are aware of these building plans. But we don't understand how the US-(local) government can be so ignorant about the symbolic value for Muslims to build an other house of worship to Allah, right there in front of this specific location.
Many of us are also aware of the many Moslem 'enclaves' that already exist in the USA and we admire your personal efforts to stop Ground Zero to become one too.
Kind regards,
Peter

MISPLACED HYPOCRITICAL OUTRAGE - window into Barak Hussein Abdullah Obama (My Title)
By Nasser Karimi And Lee Keath (not their article title)
TEHRAN, Iran – A Sunni insurgent group said it carried out a double suicide bombing against a Shiite mosque in southeast Iran to avenge the execution of its leader, as Iranian authorities Friday said the death toll rose to 27 people, including members of the elite Revolutionary Guard.
The insurgent group, Jundallah, has repeatedly succeeded in carrying out deadly strikes on the Guard, the country's most powerful military force — including an October suicide bombing that killed more than 40 people. The new attack was a sign that the group is still able to carry out devastating bombings even after Iran hanged its leader Abdulmalik Rigi and his brother earlier this year.
(Alan Note: Although Obama knew very well that the Mullah regime had tortured and murdered the first brother, head of the Baluchi Jondollah resistance movement, he pressured Pakistan to remove the second Rigi from a bhospital bed in Peshawar and seliver him by proivate jet to the Mullahs in Iran, who tortured the heck out of him and recently hanged him - or as some reports claim, his already torture-dead body).
Shiite worshippers were attending ceremonies marking the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad's grandson, Hussein, when the first blast went off at the entrance of the mosque in the provincial capital Zahedan. The male bomber was disguised as a woman, local lawmaker Hossein Ali Shahriari told the ISNA news agency.
Inside the mosque, a cleric was reading from the Quran in front of lines of faithful sitting cross-legged on the floor when the building suddenly shook from the blast and screams were heard from outside, according to footage taken at the time and aired on Iranian state TV.
As people rushed to help, the second explosion detonated 20 minutes later, causing the majority of the deaths and injuries, ISNA reported. The technique is often used by Sunni militants in Iraq to maximize casualties.
Members of the Guard were among the worshippers, particularly because the ceremonies coincided with Iran's official Revolutionary Guard Day. The deputy interior minister, Ali Abdollahi, told the Fars news agency Thursday that several Guard members were among the dead.
Health Minister Marzieh Vahid Dastagerdi told ISNA on Friday that the toll stood at 27 dead but could still rise, with another 270 injured, including 11 in serious condition.
Iran accuses the United States and Britain of supporting Jundallah in a plot to weaken Tehran clerical leadership, a claim both countries deny. On Friday, officials blamed them for the latest attack.
Gen. Hossein Salami, deputy head of the Revolutionary Guard, told worshippers at the main weekly prayers in Tehran that the victims "were martyred by hands of mercenaries of the U.S. and U.K."
He was echoed by influential lawmaker Alaeddin Boroujerdi who said "America should be answerable for the terrorist incident in Zahedan."
President Obama condemned the attacks as OUTRAGEOUS, saying in a statement that the deaths of innocent civilians in their place of worship is an "intolerable offense" and that those responsible for the blasts must be held accountable.
(Alan Note: No such outrage against the targetted Mullahs for slaughtering thousands of dissenters in the streets and arresting and torturing/raping tens of thousands more throughout the Obama Administration period.
Was it because it was his Moslem namesake "Hussein" day and an affront to Obama?)
In New York, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon strongly condemned the suicide bombings saying "this senseless act of terrorism at a place of worship makes it all the more reprehensible," U.N. associate spokesman Farhan Haq told reporters at U.N. headquarters.
Jundallah has been waging an insurgency for years in the remote Sistan-Baluchistan province, a lawless area where smuggling and banditry are rife. The groups says it is fighting for the rights of the mainly Sunni ethnic Baluchi minority, which it says suffers discrimination at the hands of Iran's Shiite's leadership. Iran has accused the group of links to al-Qaida, but experts say no evidence of such a link has been found.
Iran executed Jundallah's leader in June in Zahedan, a month after hanging his brother Abdulhamid Rigi, who had been captured in Pakistan in 2008 and extradited to Iran. The group named a new leader, al-Hajj Mohammed Dhahir Baluch.
In a statement posted on its Web site, Jundallah claimed responsibility for Thursday night's blast, saying they were to avenge Abdulmalik Rigi's death. It showed pictures of two suicide bombers wearing explosive vests, identified as Mohammad and Mujahid Rigi, apparently members of the leader's clan, though the site did not specify their relationship to him.
The group said its "sons of the faith ... carried out tonight a heroic unprecedented operation at the heart of an assembly of the Guard at Zahedan," claiming to have killed more than 100.
Jundallah has repeatedly targeted the Revolutionary Guards. In its deadliest attack, a suicide bomber hit a meeting between Guard commanders and Shiite and Sunni tribal leaders in the border town of Pishin on Oct. 18, killing 42 people, including 15 Guard members.
The group struck another mosque in Zahedan in May 2009, killing 25 people. In February 2007, a Jundallah car bomb blew up a bus carrying Revolutionary Guards in Zahedan, killing 11.
(Alan Note: 27 dead in a mosque are an outrage to fervent Islamist Obama but thousands (same race and country) but opponents of his buddy regime in Iran is a "ho-hum" yawn and not worth making as big a fuss about.
AND OBAMA'S ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALLY LABELED THOSE STRIVING FOR FREEDOM AGAINST THE MULLAHS AS TERRORISTS!!!!! (admitting this "error" in court today.
America is starting to wake up! Hurry! Hurry!
Before all of us are labeled Domestic Terrorists and threatened by his Civilian Expeditionary Force goons - comprised of ACORN, SEIU and other Union thugs, Black Panthers, Imported Palestinians, Black Moslems etc., he will "deputize" to obey HIS orders not the Constitution).
TEHRAN, Iran – A Sunni insurgent group said it carried out a double suicide bombing against a Shiite mosque in southeast Iran to avenge the execution of its leader, as Iranian authorities Friday said the death toll rose to 27 people, including members of the elite Revolutionary Guard.
The insurgent group, Jundallah, has repeatedly succeeded in carrying out deadly strikes on the Guard, the country's most powerful military force — including an October suicide bombing that killed more than 40 people. The new attack was a sign that the group is still able to carry out devastating bombings even after Iran hanged its leader Abdulmalik Rigi and his brother earlier this year.
(Alan Note: Although Obama knew very well that the Mullah regime had tortured and murdered the first brother, head of the Baluchi Jondollah resistance movement, he pressured Pakistan to remove the second Rigi from a bhospital bed in Peshawar and seliver him by proivate jet to the Mullahs in Iran, who tortured the heck out of him and recently hanged him - or as some reports claim, his already torture-dead body).
Shiite worshippers were attending ceremonies marking the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad's grandson, Hussein, when the first blast went off at the entrance of the mosque in the provincial capital Zahedan. The male bomber was disguised as a woman, local lawmaker Hossein Ali Shahriari told the ISNA news agency.
Inside the mosque, a cleric was reading from the Quran in front of lines of faithful sitting cross-legged on the floor when the building suddenly shook from the blast and screams were heard from outside, according to footage taken at the time and aired on Iranian state TV.
As people rushed to help, the second explosion detonated 20 minutes later, causing the majority of the deaths and injuries, ISNA reported. The technique is often used by Sunni militants in Iraq to maximize casualties.
Members of the Guard were among the worshippers, particularly because the ceremonies coincided with Iran's official Revolutionary Guard Day. The deputy interior minister, Ali Abdollahi, told the Fars news agency Thursday that several Guard members were among the dead.
Health Minister Marzieh Vahid Dastagerdi told ISNA on Friday that the toll stood at 27 dead but could still rise, with another 270 injured, including 11 in serious condition.
Iran accuses the United States and Britain of supporting Jundallah in a plot to weaken Tehran clerical leadership, a claim both countries deny. On Friday, officials blamed them for the latest attack.
Gen. Hossein Salami, deputy head of the Revolutionary Guard, told worshippers at the main weekly prayers in Tehran that the victims "were martyred by hands of mercenaries of the U.S. and U.K."
He was echoed by influential lawmaker Alaeddin Boroujerdi who said "America should be answerable for the terrorist incident in Zahedan."
President Obama condemned the attacks as OUTRAGEOUS, saying in a statement that the deaths of innocent civilians in their place of worship is an "intolerable offense" and that those responsible for the blasts must be held accountable.
(Alan Note: No such outrage against the targetted Mullahs for slaughtering thousands of dissenters in the streets and arresting and torturing/raping tens of thousands more throughout the Obama Administration period.
Was it because it was his Moslem namesake "Hussein" day and an affront to Obama?)
In New York, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon strongly condemned the suicide bombings saying "this senseless act of terrorism at a place of worship makes it all the more reprehensible," U.N. associate spokesman Farhan Haq told reporters at U.N. headquarters.
Jundallah has been waging an insurgency for years in the remote Sistan-Baluchistan province, a lawless area where smuggling and banditry are rife. The groups says it is fighting for the rights of the mainly Sunni ethnic Baluchi minority, which it says suffers discrimination at the hands of Iran's Shiite's leadership. Iran has accused the group of links to al-Qaida, but experts say no evidence of such a link has been found.
Iran executed Jundallah's leader in June in Zahedan, a month after hanging his brother Abdulhamid Rigi, who had been captured in Pakistan in 2008 and extradited to Iran. The group named a new leader, al-Hajj Mohammed Dhahir Baluch.
In a statement posted on its Web site, Jundallah claimed responsibility for Thursday night's blast, saying they were to avenge Abdulmalik Rigi's death. It showed pictures of two suicide bombers wearing explosive vests, identified as Mohammad and Mujahid Rigi, apparently members of the leader's clan, though the site did not specify their relationship to him.
The group said its "sons of the faith ... carried out tonight a heroic unprecedented operation at the heart of an assembly of the Guard at Zahedan," claiming to have killed more than 100.
Jundallah has repeatedly targeted the Revolutionary Guards. In its deadliest attack, a suicide bomber hit a meeting between Guard commanders and Shiite and Sunni tribal leaders in the border town of Pishin on Oct. 18, killing 42 people, including 15 Guard members.
The group struck another mosque in Zahedan in May 2009, killing 25 people. In February 2007, a Jundallah car bomb blew up a bus carrying Revolutionary Guards in Zahedan, killing 11.
(Alan Note: 27 dead in a mosque are an outrage to fervent Islamist Obama but thousands (same race and country) but opponents of his buddy regime in Iran is a "ho-hum" yawn and not worth making as big a fuss about.

IRAN BACKED & FUNDED HEZBOLLAH ON OUR BORDER
Hezb’allah cell rolled up in ... Tijuana [American Thinker]
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2551561/posts for some comments
“Mexican authorities have rolled up a Hezbollah network being built in Tijuana, right across the border from Texas and closer to American homes than the terrorist hideouts in the Bekaa Valley (Lebanon)are to Israel.”
Alan Note: With Islamic Iran building up troops (mostly their Special Forces and Intelligence Agents) and missiles which can reach the USA and their Hezbollah terrorist contingents in Venezuela, only the "deep cover" being provided by the Obama Administration for the jihadists allows their barely covert activity and opens the way for them to infiltrate the USA and add to the violence we can expect when some 50,000 sleeper suicider/homicider cells are activated against us on our soil. Not in Afghanistan or Iraq or elsewhere! Here in America!

Hezb'allah cell rolled up in ... Tijuana
Eileen F. Toplansky
As Obama dithers about homeland security and presses on with a lawsuit against Arizona, the terrorists continue to plot this country's destruction. In a Daily News editorial dated July 11, 2010 there is a report that "Mexican authorities have rolled up a Hezbollah network being built in Tijuana, right across the border from Texas [sic] and closer to American homes than the terrorist hideouts in the Bekaa Valley are to Israel.
Surprise, surprise.
This is not the first time that firm evidence points to the infiltration of terrorists coming into the country.
According to a Kuwaiti newspaper, this "Hezbollah network aims to strike targets in Israel and the West." The triangulation of drug money from Mexican cartels and Iranian oil money are behind the financial strength of the terrorists.
Furthermore, "Hezbollah has shadowed the terrorist-sponsoring regime in Tehran, which has been forging close ties with Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, who in turn supports the narcoterrorist organization FARC, which wreaks all kinds of havoc throughout the region."
As Rick Moran has demonstrated, Obama is quite chummy with Chavez.
This president is giving the green light to terrorism with the nuanced words he makes, the actions he takes, and the positions he holds. The bombs are being loaded and aimed at our hearts and he and his Department of Justice ignore the danger to this country.
