NY Office building tied to Iran seized

This doesn’t shock me. Many in Corporate America are in cahoots with the Jihadists. GE is a prime example, so this isn’t a surprise.

Feds Seize New York Office Building Tied to Iranian Government

Federal authorities moved in Wednesday to seize control of a New York City office building partially owned by a company with ties to the Iranian government.

The move by officials at the Treasury and Justice Departments is designed to stop the flow of funds they say are used to help Iran’s efforts to build nuclear weapons.

The office tower, located on New York’s famed Fifth Avenue, was built by an Iranian non-profit group in the 1970s. Over the years the ownership of the building has evolved into what federal officials say is an attempt to hide the stake held by an Iranian state-owned bank.

I hope Treasury and Justice see if there are other Iranian and Terror front companies. The enemy is using our system against us. We need to investigate Corporate America and see where the tenticles of the Jihad reach.

Iranian youth turning to Youtube

The Iranian youth are turning to Youtube to show their discontent with their regime. The Western media supports the regime and they too silence the Iranian youth. So desperate for coverage, the Iranians post videos on youtube.

Iran’s YouTube Generation

Iran’s universities are again the scene of battles over the country’s future. In the digital age, we’re able to take a better peek inside.

Footage of recent student protests in Tehran, Shiraz and Hamedan are all over the Internet. In particular, one clip of a student dressing down a government dignitary reveals a remarkable willingness to defy the regime. On the video, a young man at Shiraz University rises to address the visiting speaker of parliament and former nuclear negotiator, Ali Larijani. “I’m not going to ask you a question because I don’t accept you as the legitimate speaker or the parliament as legitimate,” the student says, citing the elimination of opposition candidates in the previous parliamentary election.

Why doesn’t our media support the students? It’s because the Left is aligned with Islamo-Fascism and Iran is their favorite regime.

Are Iranians our Enemies?

Very Interesting article. The article states that most Iranians don’t hate America. What are your thoughts on this?

Is Iran Full of Ahmadinejads

Charles and LGF have nothing on a Nuclear Iran or how to prepare for a Nuclear attack

Atlas Shurgs has news on how Iran is closer then you think in getting a nuke, and how to prepare and survive a nuclear attack. Stay safe out there. I just browsed the article on how to survive a nuclear attack. I no longer think it is safe in America. What do you think?

Iran test-fires new missile near Iraq: state media

Our Buddies in Iran have a welcome present for our President Hussein!

TEHRAN (Reuters) – Iran has test-fired a new type of missile during war games near the Iraqi border, state television said Tuesday, after warning the United States it would respond to any violation of Iranian airspace.

The English-language Press TV said the Iranian-made missile, named as the Samen, was successfully tested Monday by the elite Revolutionary Guards in the western border city of Marivan.

Iran, Cuba and Venezuela Hail Obama Win

Cuban and Venezuelan leaders welcomed the news of Barack Obama’s huge win on Tuesday.
Iran Press TV reported:

Cuba and Venezuela, two countries known for their criticism of US policies are now expressing satisfaction over Barack Obama’s victory. 

“If Obama takes some action to ease the embargo, it would be welcomed and of course it would be of help, but we’re prepared for conditions to remain the same,” Cuba’s Foreign Investment Minister Marta Lomas said Wednesday in a statement. 

There is optimism about Obama’s declaration during his campaign that he would be ready to talk about easing restrictions on travel and on remittances the money US Cubans send to family and friends in Cuba. 

Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro who remains first secretary of the ruling Communist Party, on Tuesday called Obama “intelligent, well-educated and composed” in an endorsement released in the official press.

Meanwhile… Iran is urging Barack Obama to keep his promises and make fundamental changes in US foreign policy.
Iran is looking forward to a US troop withdrawal from the region.

One International Crisis, Coming Up

Looks like Joe “Nostradamus” Biden’s prediction of an international crisis if Obama is elected may come true even sooner than he thought: Top Iran officials recommend preemptive strike against Israel.

Senior Tehran officials are recommending a preemptive strike against Israel to prevent an Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear reactors, a senior Islamic Republic official told foreign diplomats two weeks ago in London.

Iran Sets Preconditions for US Meeting

Barack Obama may intend to meet with Iran without preconditions (yes, he did say it, no matter how he tries to deny it now), but Iran isn’t granting Obama the same courtesy: Iran’s Vice President Sets Two Preconditions for Talks with US.

They’re very simple conditions, really. Just remove all US forces from the Middle East, and abandon Israel to the wolves.

TEHRAN (FNA)- Vice President for Media Affairs Mehdi Kalhor said on Saturday that Iran has set two preconditions for holding talks with the United States of America.

In an exclusive interview with the Islamic Republic News Agency, he said as long as U.S. forces have not left the Middle East region and continues its support for the Zionist regime, talks between Iran and U.S. is off the agenda.

It is the Americans who are in dire need of reestablishing ties with Iran, he underlined.

Iran is not obliged to reestablish ties with the U.S., he said. “If they take our advice, grounds for such talks would be well prepared,” he said.

US Shelves Iran Diplomatic Outpost

Last weekend the Bush administration quietly abandoned plans to send diplomats to Iran.

WASHINGTON – The Bush administration has shelved plans to set up a diplomatic outpost in Iran, in part over fears it could affect the U.S. presidential race or be interpreted as political meddling, The Associated Press has learned.

The proposal to send U.S. diplomats to Tehran for the first time in three decades attracted great attention when it was first floated seriously over the summer but has now been placed on indefinite hold as November’s election nears and Iran continues to defy demands to halt suspect nuclear activities, officials told the AP.

David Kay Advises Waiting Until Nuclear Attack

Former head of the Iraq Survey Group David Kay says Iran is 2 to 5 years from nuclear weapons.

But he also says we should not even think about a military strike until after one of our cities is nuked.

“My personal guess is they are two to five years away from having a sufficient amount of fissile material and weapon design work to put them in a place where you believe they have the capability of putting a warhead on the end of a missile,” Kay said.

Kay said there is “virtually no possibility” Iran will give up its uranium enrichment program, which can be used to fuel civilian reactors for domestic energy use as well as make fissile material for warheads.

He dismissed the notion that a U.S. or Israeli military strike on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure would be effective or useful. He said it would only delay the development of a weapon by one to two years at the most, and would unite Iran’s people more firmly behind its leaders.

Kay would only advocate a military attack “if I found the Iranians had transferred a nuclear weapon to a third party, a terrorist organization or another state,” or if it used a nuclear weapon in an attack.

A reminder: it’s been four months since Mohamed ElBaradei said on Al-Arabiya television that Iran could have a nuclear weapon within 6 months.

ElBaradei: Idiot

oday’s jaw-dropping example of United Nations idiocy comes from the head of the IAEA, Mohamed ElBaradei, who declared that his agency is powerless to do anything about nuclear proliferators who don’t tell the truth.

He actually seems surprised to discover that nations like Iran and Saddam-era Iraq would try to hide their nuclear programs. Say it ain’t so, Mohamed!

Mohamed ElBaradei, director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said the crux of the problem was that some countries under investigation, the latest being Syria, had failed to ratify an agency protocol permitting short-notice IAEA visits to sites not declared to be nuclear to ensure no bomb-related work was going on at secret locations.

“Our legal authority is very limited. With Iraq, we have discovered that unless we have the Additional Protocol in place, we will not really be able to discover undeclared activities,” he said on the sidelines of the agency’s annual 145-nation General Conference in Vienna.

“Our experience is that any proliferator will not really go for declared diverted activities (that would quickly reveal them as violators of the Non-Proliferation Treaty), they will go for completely clandestine undeclared activities,” he said.

Palin’s Canceled Speech on Ahmadinejad

Governor Sarah Palin was scheduled to speak today at a protest against Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but was disinvited after political maneuvering by Hillary Clinton and the Obama campaign; the New York Sun has published the speech she would have given: Palin on Ahmadinejad: ‘He Must Be Stopped’.

Ahmadinejad ready to debate US presidential hopefuls

The sad part is the American Press loves this man. He has become a hero to the Progressives. Even when he says non Progressive things, they cheer him. No doubt the media will try to force Obama and McCain to accept Ahmadinejad’s debate challenge.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Thursday he was ready to debate the men running for US president when he visits New York for the UN General Assembly,and dismissed Western threats of more sanctions over Tehran’s nuclear drive.

The outspoken president, who caused a storm of controversy during a visit last year, said: “I am ready for a debate with the US presidential candidates over global issues in the presence of the media at the UN headquarters.

“I have no plans in my schedule to meet with US politicians,” he told a press conference.

“Last year, I said I was ready to meet with (President George W.) Bush. But now he is at the end of his term and (a meeting) will not impact our relations and future.”

Biden to Israel: Get Used to Iranian Nukes

srael’s Army Radio is reporting that Obama’s running mate Joe Biden told Israeli officials they would have to learn to stop worrying, and love the Iranian bomb.

Security officials expressed concern Monday over statements reportedly made by US Democratic vice presidential candidate Joseph Biden regarding Iran’s nuclear program.

Army Radio reported that the Delaware senator was heard saying in closed conversations with Jerusalem officials three years ago that he was firmly opposed to an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Biden, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, reportedly claimed that Israel would likely have to come to terms with a nuclear Iran. He reportedly expressed doubt over the effectiveness of economic sanctions imposed on the Islamic Republic and said he was against the opening of an additional military and diplomatic front, saying that the US had more pressing problems, such as North Korea and Iraq.

Change!
