JonQ's Conspiracy Theory: The Iran-Hezbollah... John Mark Karr Connection?!

.


Sterling Hayden as General Jack D. Ripper in "Dr. Strangelove" - the ultimate lunatic nutjob conspiracy theorist, who claimed that the Soviets were corrupting America through water flouridation, which impacted our "precious bodily fluids"


Since discovering the “blogosphere” via
The Huffington Post in November 2005, I have observed innumerable whackjob conspiracy theories foisted there (and later, on DailyKos) by seething leftists, aspiring Nazis and others, primarily relating to the U.S. government’s, Jews' and/or Israel’s culpability in the 9/11 attacks.

At first, I went toe-to-toe with the growing brigade of these nutjobs (they seem to be multiplying exponentially), but soon learned the futility of such an endeavor; they are so stuck in a paranoid, toxic feedback loop that no amount of reason (or apparently, anti-psychotic medications) can bring them out.

But on another level, I began to feel very left out, not having a conspiracy theory of my very own, and thus, having to deal with reality every day. Reality is often boring, mundane and predictable, and lacks the spice and variety that one presumes is part and parcel with harboring a big, elaborate conspiracy theory that only YOU know about!!!


---------------------------------------------

Then, SHAZAM!!!, I concocted my OWN conspiracy theory – which I really think has some potential validity (or “legs,” as they say in the media).

See what YOU think:


We know that Hezbollah’s Butcher-In-Chief, Hassan Nasrallah, doesn’t blow his nose, scream "Allah Akbar!" or take any substantive action without the direct order and blessing of the Iranian madman, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.


Nasrallah and Ahmedinejad

We also know that Hezbollah’s murdering of 8 Israeli soldiers, and the kidnapping of two more, was ordered directly by Ahmedinejad, to distract the world from focusing on the meeting of the G-8 Economic Summit --- and also, from Iran’s last-minute push to develop its first nuclear weapons.

Ahmedinejad’s plan worked perfectly. Almost instantaneously, the world’s media attention was completely refocused away from the G-8’s contemplation of substantial sanctions against Iran, to stop its nuclear development, and was directed squarely at the brewing war between Hezbollah and Israel.

But the war only lasted 34 days, thanks to the innumerable cries for “peace” at any cost, which will only lead to more bloodshed in the near future. We now know, as was suspected by clear-thinkers around the globe, that the primary result of the “peace” deal is nothing more than an opportunity for Hezbollah to rest, get re-armed and re-supplied by Iran and Syria, to prepare for yet another attack on Israel.

So unfortunately for Ahmedinejad, the war just ended prematurely. He still needed more time to focus the world’s attention away from his nuclear weapons development – and his blustering defiance of the UN’s growing resoluteness to stop him. And it’s too soon to tell Hezbollah to resume its jihadist attacks against Israel.


Q) So what is a media-savvy, nuke-pursuing jihadist dictator to do?

A) Create a new distraction for the world’s mainstream media – and fast!!! Ideally, with something that has “legs,” with staying power, and that will so captivate the media that they’ll almost being saying, “Iran? What’s that?”


Ultimately, Ahmedinejad would need something with all the components of an obsession: sex or sexual violence, murder, incompetent civil servants, cover-ups, international intrigue, and more.


So, my conspiracy theory is this: Ahmedinejad struck a deal with John Karr to admit to murdering JonBonet Ramsey.

In exchange for the payment of a king’s ransom, Karr would publicly announce that he is the lowlife cretin that America’s law enforcement community has been seeking for ten years. He would simply pop up out of nowhere, off on the periphery of the public’s awareness, and essentially announce, “Here I am!!! I’m the one!!!”

If my theory is true, Ahmedinejad scored a huge hit.

First, on the morning the story over Karr broke, an eminently more important story was unfolding: the entire structure of UN Resolution 1701, the “peace deal,” was falling apart; Hezbollah was refusing to disarm, and the Lebanon government said that it is not going to disarm it. Also, Hezbollah said it is not going to evacuate southern Lebanon, nor move north of the Litani River.

So what kind of media attention did these disclosures get? Practically none, as I documented on this blog, here and here.

Second, as the MSM obligatorily began round-the-clock, wall-to-wall coverage of the Karr-Ramsey case, they demonstrated that they couldn't care less about the fact that Iran was nearing its most coveted immediate goal: completing construction on its first first operational nuclear facility.


Ahmedinejad celebrating the opening of his new nuke plant, August 2006

Third, the compliant, Karr-obsessed MSM all but totally ignored the discovery that as it demonstrated in its "war-games," Iran now possesses advanced (radar-guided) submarine-launched missiles, as well as long-range, radar-guided surface-to-surface missiles. I mean, what modern journalist wants to report on that stuff ("BOOOOrrrinnnnnggg") when they can put Karr's mug on every last media vehicle that Americans turn to for information that affects, or may affect their lives, 24/7?


Iran's new submarine-launched, radar-guided missile, August 2006


------------------------------------------------------------

AUGUST 28 UPDATE:

And now, as soon as Karr captured the obsessive attention of the American MSM -- *POOF!!!* --- he is now going away. Turns out it his DNA doesn't match what was found at the Ramsey crime scene. So was all his attempt (or Ahmedinejad's) to get 15 days of infamy (or distraction from the growing jihadist terror menace)?


Ahmedinejad's stooge?

I wonder how much it cost Ahmedinejad to convince John Mark Karr to confess to a crime he didn't commit, and thus divert the fickle American MSM's attention from what they should have been covering --- $20 million? $50 million? Whatever Uncle Mahmoud paid Karr, it was obviously one of the shewdest investments he ever made --- and paid dividends that even he, in his demented mind, could not have hoped for. As of August 30, there have been an estimated 10 MILLION NEWS ARTICLES on this non-story.

Like they had for the previous ten years, the MSM devoted oceans of ink, hour upon hour, day upon day of video --- all on pure speculation ---- regarding this story, examining it from every possible, demented angle... all to find out, as they did then, that it was all for naught; they were totally wrong.

And the only price Karr will have to pay for this entire charade (assuming he is found guilty of child porn charges in California) is to spend several years in prison, most likely receiving frequent therapy for his constipation problem, courtesy of other inmates. Was it worth $20 million or more? If Karr is half the nutjob that he has positioned himself to be, it may well be (after all - he was considering sex-change surgery in Thailand anyway... WAIT!!! Could THAT be why he needed Ahmedinejad's money so badly??!! I feel another, related conspiracy theory coming on...).



So that's it --- my very first conspiracy theory. But my brain really hurts now... so, I think I'll give this whole conspiracy theory venue back to the lunatic leftist nutjobs... it's way too taxing on a functional, reality-focused brain!!!

Must-Read Michelle Malkin: "The Photo Shop Of Horrors"

---------------------------------------------------------------

The fantastic Michelle Malkin hits another home-run with this article, posted here.

Key excerpts below.

(Also see HotAir, Michelle's videoblog, left)





Last week, Middle East-based photographer Bryan Denton, whose work has appeared in the New York Times, revealed on the professional photography website Light Stalkers (
www.lightstalkers.org) that he had observed routine staging of photos --- and even corpse-digging — by Lebanese stringers:

"I have been witness to the daily practice of directed shots, one case where a group of wire photogs were choreographing the unearthing of bodies, directing emergency workers here and there, asking them to position bodies just so, even remove bodies that have already been put in graves so that they can photograph them in people[']s arms." Denton noted that he had witnessed the photo choreography at numerous protests and evacuations, as well as at an Israeli airstrike location in Chiyeh, Lebanon. Denton followed up with a second post reporting that respected photographer friends of his Lebanon informed him that "this was not an isolated incident" and that "this has been something [I]'ve noticed happening here, more than any other place [I]ve worked previously."

Isolated incidents? In a rare moment of candor, CNN's Anderson Cooper revealed the routine mechanics of Hezbollywood propaganda tours last week:
"I was in Beirut, and they took me on this sort of guided tour of the Hezbollah-controlled territories in southern Lebanon that were heavily bombed..they clearly want the story of civilian casualties out. That is their - what they're heavily pushing, to the point where on this tour I was on, they were just making stuff up. They had six ambulances lined up in a row and said, OK, you know, they brought reporters there, they said you can talk to the ambulance drivers. And then one by one, they told the ambulances to turn on their sirens and to zoom off, and people taking that picture would be reporting, I guess, the idea that these ambulances were zooming off to treat civilian casualties, when in fact, these ambulances were literally going back and forth down the street just for people to take pictures of them."

The Must-Have Gift For Jihadist-Appeasers: Terror-Tubbies!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The folks at THE PEOPLE'S CUBE have hit it out of the park, once again, with their new "Terror-Tubbies!!!" It's THE must-have gift for jihadist-appeasers!!!


According to the site:
"In an effort to finalize the portrayal of Hezbollah as a benevolent band of misunderstood peasant warriors, and to foster acceptance of other cultures, the BBC retooled its cutest Teletubby character named Laa-laa into Hezbo-Laa-Laa. Sporting a characteristic martyr bandana with the motto 'From cradle to grave' written in Arabic, and a suicide belt filled nails and rat poison, this cute and cuddly Terrortubby is intended to show European and American kids that beyond its desire to exterminate the Jew, Hezbollah is, in fact, a caring playmate that will tend to your social needs through a strong presence in the big, generous government!"

Jihadist-Enabling MSM, Part 1,247 - The Washington Post

.

Just when one might wonder what new depths the American mainstream media will sink to, in order to make the U.S. military and its leadership look as evil, incompetent and/or malicious as possible, in the context of its efforts to combat jihadist butchers --- and in doing so, enabling, if not justifying the murderous actions of these same enemies --- along comes this morning's (August 19, 2006) Washington Post.


There on the front page, above the fold, in the upper-right corner is the following headline:

"Officer Called Haditha Routine"

Haditha --- one of the most tragic news items to come out of Iraq in some time, in which it is alleged that the U.S. military murdered two dozen unarmed civilians --- has been widely covered, and eight soldiers are now being held at Camp Pendleton on a variety of charges.

First, let's consider the definition of "routine:"

(a) An unvarying or habitual method or procedure; (b) Occurring at fixed times or predictable intervals; "made her routine trip to the store;" (c) A prescribed, detailed course of action to be followed regularly; a standard procedure; (d) A set of customary and often mechanically-performed procedures or activities.

But WAIT...

...what's that in the first few paragraphs in this article, by the Post's Thomas Ricks?

"The Marine officer who commanded the battalion involved in the Haditha killings last November did not consider the deaths of 24 Iraqis, many of them women and children, unusual and did not initiate an inquiry, according to a sworn statement he gave to military investigators in March.

"'I thought it was very sad, very unfortunate, but at the time, I did not suspect any wrongdoing from my Marines,' Lt. Col. Jeffrey R. Chessani, commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Marines, said in the statement.

"'I did not have any reason to believe that this was anything other than combat action,' he added."

------------------------------------------------------------

I see. So this incredibly inflammatory headline was referring to was... what?

(1) That U.S. Marines "routinely" murder unarmed Iraqi (translation: Muslim) civilians, which is exactly what bin Laden, al Zarquari, al Zawahiri, Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Muslim Brotherhood, and all the rest of the jihadist butchers claim as justification for attacking America and Americans?
Or, was the headline trying to say:

(2) That as is described in the story, to the Marine quoted, these tragic killings appeared to be the tragic result of jihadist butchers hiding among, and firing from behind innocent (Muslim) civilians, and that this is sometimes the result, horrifying as it may be, when these murderous thugs attack U.S. forces? That this is what is tragically "routine," which is why it didn't seem out of the ordinary to him?

No, the headline was clearly designed to convey (1).



Several months ago, the American left got their collective panties in a bunch over the disclosure that the U.S. government was paying for, if not encouraging, more positive (actual) news of its deployment and actions, in the (newly-freed) Iraqi media.

Fact is, the jihadist butchers and their enablers don't even have to pay for this kind of deliberately favorable story spinning, nor for this kind of inflammatory headline.

We are in a media war, as much as a military war against jihadist butchers, and their enablers, appeasers and defenders.


But with editors such as those at the Washington Post who could conceivably allow a jihadist-enabling "headline" such as this to be matched to a story containing this content, is a slap in the face at every man and woman that now wears, or has ever worn, an American military uniform.

Q) When Can A 12-Year-Old Outsmart The UN, The State Department And Europe?

A) When he pays attention, and deals with reality.

A friend of mine has what I judge to be an exceptionally bright 12-year-old. When we visited inbetween his summer trips, we discussed the proposed "cease fire" between Hezbollah and Israel, that the UN, the US and Europe were pushing for.

Apparently he'd done quite a bit of research (thanks to computer "hot spots" almost everywhere these days), and he came to the same conclusion I did -- that the "peace" that the aforementioned bodies, and particularly Hezbollah, and the "peace activists" (including the mainstream media) were so virulent for, was going to be nothing of the sort; that Hezbollah would agree to practically any "peace" agreement so it could rest, re-arm and re-supply, then instigate another war against Israel.

Well, in the immortal words of Gomer Pyle, USMC, "Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!!!"

Guess what is happening, less than 72 hours after the "peace" broke out? You got it - Lebanon and Hezbollah are refusing to comply with foundational criteria of U.N. Resolution 1701 - while Israel is being compelled to comply with both the letter and intent of it:

U.S.: Iran Suspected of Attempts to Rearm Hezbollah Since Cease-Fire
Thursday , August 17, 2006

Excerpt:

WASHINGTON -- Iran has been attempting to rearm the Lebanon-based terror network Hezbollah since the U.N.-backed cease-fire between Hezbollah and Israel took hold earlier this week, two U.S. officials told FOX News on Thursday. A U.S. arms control official said it appears that Iran is using Syrian channels in its effort to give Hezbollah weapons it has used in the past, including Chinese-built C-802 radar-guided anti-ship missiles.

Military observers said a C-802 was used successfully on an Israeli naval vessel off the coast of Tyre on July 14. The arms control officer and a senior American counterterrorism officer both said the U.S. government is "very concerned" about the "ongoing" effort.

UK Guardian: "Stand Alongside Hezbollah," Lebanese Army Tells Troops
August 18, 2006

An internal Lebanese army statement, circulated among forces in the past week, has called for troops to stand "alongside your resistance and your people who astonished the world with its steadfastness and destroyed the prestige of the so-called invincible army after it was defeated". The circular has alarmed ministers in the Lebanese cabinet who had been calling for the army to disarm Hizbullah.

It will also fuel the concerns of Israel, the US and the UN security council that the Lebanese army is incapable of securing the south of the country, adding increased urgency to the calls for a multinational force to be swiftly deployed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
August 17, 2006

Excerpt:

Hezbollah fighters
were not expected to resist the soldiers, nor to hand over their weapons. Instead, they probably would simply put their weapons into hiding and melt away into the civilian population.

The top Hezbollah field commander in the south, Sheik Nabil Qaouk, said as much on Wednesday.
“Just like in the past, Hezbollah had no visible military presence and there will not be any presence now,” Sheik Qaouk told reporters in the hard-hit port city of Tyre. He praised the army’s deployment, but said Hezbollah would maintain its presence without displaying its arms. He added that since Israeli tanks were still in Lebanon, the guerrillas reserved the right to respond accordingly. A Hezbollah representative in Parliament, Hassan Fadlallah, was equally insistent, telling
Al Jazeera television that his organization would not pull back over the Litani, that the fate of its arsenal was not open to public debate and that the army deployment had nothing to do with its presence.

------------------------------------------------------------------
August 17, 2006

Excerpt:

The Lebanese Army’s move into the separate southern fief that Hezbollah ran for nearly two decades was the potential beginning of a diplomatic way out of the bitter monthlong battle with Israel, whose vaunted army bogged down against a smaller force of skilled and entrenched guerrillas.

But while Israel and the United States have said that the Lebanese Army is supposed to disarm Hezbollah under the terms of a United Nations Security Council resolution, the reality on the ground is a kind of murky backroom deal in which Hezbollah takes its weapons off the street and the army will not look too hard for them, if at all.

“There will be no confrontation between the army and the brothers in Hezbollah,” Ghazi Aridi, (Lebanon's) information minister, said. “They are not going to chase or, God forbid, exert revenge.” Israeli officials were not quite so tolerant, at least in public. The Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman, Mark Regev, said that “the resolution clearly calls for the creation of a Hezbollah-free zone south of the Litani River and anything less would mean the resolution is not being implemented.”

----------------------------------------------------

The article I recently posted by Thomas Sowell is exactly correct: the main fruit that will be bore by the those who advocated "peace" between Israel and Hezbollah (and viewed them as being morally almost indistinguishable), will be more bloodshed, more loss of civilian lives, more terror, more destruction.

Had Israel simply finished the job it started -- to rout Hezbollah to the greatest extent possible, seized its weaponry, and if necessary, re-occupy southern Lebanon until its government could exert dominion over every square inch of that nation -- we would be neither in this mess, nor in the one that is surely to follow, in days, weeks or months. But no. It buckled to "world opinion," and the pressure from "world leaders" and their minions, all of whom screamed collectively for "peace."

Today's youth are routinely dismissed as being uninformed, unsophisticated and lazy. At least in this particular case, one bright young man proved to me that at some pivotal moments, the supposed "leaders" of the world cannot see what is right before their eyes, with the clarity of a child.

MSM: What Betrayal By Hezbollah, Condi Rice, The UN And Lebanon??? The Ramsey Case Is Solved!!!

SEE UPDATE BELOW

"Yes, I am MUCH more important than any news out of the Middle East. The mainstream press says so - and who are you to argue? Now, I'm just waiting for a book deal, and a slot on the Oprah Show."


August 16: This morning, Americans got another object lesson in just how out-of-whack the American MSM's priorities are, and how willing it is to capitulate to whatever the world's most notorious jihadists and their enablers say, to focus instead on satiating their fetish for gossip of no consequence.

The news out of the Middle East (
here, and see below) --- that in violation of U.N. Resolution 1701, Hezbollah is now refusing to disarm or leave southern Lebanon, that neither the U.N. nor the Lebanese government are going to do anything about it, and that the "peacekeeping" force being assembled will not confront Hezbollah --- well, gee, that's so... BOOOORRRRIIINNNNGGGGG... that it only deserved about a 45-second spot, 15 minutes into the morning network news programs.

No, what's REALLY important, what REALLY stands to have an impact on Americans, Israelis, and anyone hoping and working for peace in the Middle East, is this:

That an American nutjob in Thailand has now admitted to murdering JonBonet Ramsey nearly 10 years ago.

And that's why it dominated the entire first fifteen minute segments on all the big network morning news programs.

Then, of course, they threw in a very brief, little obligatory blurb about how the entire basis for Israel's withdrawl is coming apart faster than Bill Clinton's zipper would at a sorority house kegger party.

Nice to see how wrong we all were in criticizing the blow-dry, Democrat- and UN-worshipping nitwits in the MSM for being "out of touch" with Americans, if not actively working against our interests.

For those ordinary Americans and hard-news seeking journalists, however, chew on this:


RESOLVE IS ERODING IN FACE OF CALL TO DISARM HEZBOLLAH
New York Sun, August 17, 2006

UNITED NATIONS — As all sides prepare for Lebanese and international troops to replace the Israeli army in Lebanon in as early as 10 days, officials in Europe, America, and Lebanon have made clear that the resolve to confront and disarm Hezbollah in the aftermath of the war is fast eroding.

After meeting Secretary-General Annan yesterday, Israel's foreign minister, Tzipi Livni, hailed the security council resolution that ended the fighting Monday morning, calling it a beginning of a "process" in which "the international community" is expected to end the presence of Hezbollah as an armed force.

Israel has to be convinced, she said, that provisions such as an embargo by the Lebanese army and the multinational force to prevent the rearming of Hezbollah are implemented. The United Nations, however, demands that the current Israeli-imposed blockade is removed even before such a mechanism is in place.

U.N. officials say that within 10 days to two weeks, 3,500 troops will join the 2,000-troop UNIFIL stationed in southern Lebanon since 1978, to aid the Lebanese army that yesterday started deploying south of the Litani River.

But as Ms. Livni called implementation of resolution 1701 "a test" for the United Nations, Secretary of State Rice was quoted as saying the multinational force envisioned in the resolution is not expected to disarm Hezbollah, which she said should be done "voluntarily."


Announcing that the Lebanese army will deploy troops in the south, officials of Prime Minister Siniora's government yesterday left vague the question of Hezbollah's disarmament. Lebanon's army will allow no troops other than its own and those in the multinational force to carry weapons, they said, leaving open the possibility that Hezbollah will still maintain huge concealed arms caches.

Paris yesterday again sidestepped an announcement about the size and scope of the French contribution for the multinational force. Defense Minister Michele Alliot-Marie said France was ready to lead the force but complained that its mandate remained "fuzzy."

Ms. Livni told Turtle Bay reporters that Israel will insist that Lebanon's army, with the help of the proposed multinational force, will enforce a border embargo "so Syria and Iran are prevented from rearming Hezbollah."

But Washington yesterday sounded less than resolute on the disarming of Hezbollah.
"I don't think there is an expectation that this force is going to physically disarm Hezbollah," Ms. Rice told USA Today, according to a transcript of an interview published on the newspaper's Web site. "I think it's a little bit of a misreading of how you disarm a militia," she said. "You have to have a plan, first of all, for the disarmament of a militia, and then the hope is that some people lay down their arms voluntarily."

In Beirut, the pro-Syrian Lebanese president, Emile Lahoud, said, "It is disgraceful to demand the disarmament of the national resistance while the blood of martyrs is still warm." He added, "How can they ask us to disarm the only force in the Arab world who stood up to Israel?"


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE, AUGUST 17-18: JONBONET MANIA CONTINUES APACE

After the oceans of ink and airtime that the mainstream media devoted to pure, unadulterated speculation over the course of 10 years to examine ever nuanced aspect of the tragic murder of JonBonet Ramsey, this trend continued in earnest all day. They even went so far as to, on occasion, explain that "we are just responding to the ongoing fascination with this case."

Oh, really? WHOSE fascination? WHO has been driivng this fact-deficient mania? Oh, right... the media's fascination.

The JonBonet tragedy doesn't rank in the top 25,000 list of concerns of the American people. It never has.

But hey, so long as it drives ratings, then the MSM can pretty much do whatever it wants... as it has the right to, in a free society like ours.
But what they CAN'T do, at least since the emergence of "pajama bloggers," is claim that they can simultaneously act like freak-show promoters for part of the time they spend on the airwaves --- and as serious, responsible journalists for the rest of the time.

Thus, true to form, scant attention was paid to that other thing... what was it again?

Oh, right: the fact that Hezbollah is now confidently flipping the bird at the world
- a world that insisted upon "peace" at any price - and says it is not going to disarm, nor is it going to withdraw north of the Litania River, as agreed to in U.N. Resolution 1701. And as a result, as has been predicted repeatedly by clear-thinking people over age 10 around the world, this act alone can set the stage for round II of the war between Hezbollah and Israel.

And if Hezbollah forces Israel into that round, the Israeli Defense Force will not stop when the world falls for the Hezbollah-MSM-produced propaganda, and once again demands "peace" at any price.

No, in the next round, Israel will have no choice but to fight Hezbollah and all its supporters, enablers, protectors and funders, until they surrender --- or are destroyed.

But HEY!!! So long as we can all be distracted by the JonBonet Ramsey non-story, and the MSM's ratings will soar just in time for third-quarter sweeps, what's the problem!?!?

Uh-huh.

The Ghost of Chamberlain


.


WILL WE EVER LEARN?




(Neville Chamberlain, far left, with Hitler and his "peace-seeking" colleagues, September 1938)

"I asked Hitler about 1 in the morning while we were waiting for the draftsmen whether he would care to see me for another talk….I had a very friendly and pleasant talk, on Spain, (where he too said he had never had any territorial ambitions) economic relations with S.E. Europe, and disarmament.

"I did not mention colonies, nor did he. At the end I pulled out the declaration which I had prepared beforehand and asked if he would sign it. As the interpreter translated the words into German, Hitler frequently ejaculated 'Ja! Ja!' and at the end he said 'Yes I will certainly sign it. When shall we do it?'

"I said 'Now,' and we went at once to the writing table & put our signatures to the two copies which I had brought with me."


[Chamberlain in a letter to his sister Hilda Chamberlain, October 2, 1938]








"My good friends, this is the second time in our history that there has come back from Germany to Downing Street peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time."
[September 1938]











Hitler several years later --- and a mountain of eyeglasses taken from the Jewish men, women and children that he murdered as part of "the final solution" to "the Jewish problem"


The crematorium at Auschwitz - and Nazis preparing to murder an obviously very dangerous Jew





Hezbollah Leader Hassan Nasrallah on Israel and the Jews

(December 31, 1999)
In a scathing speech to a rally of more than 1,000 supporters, Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah said peace deals between Arabs and Israel would not bring stability to the Middle East or legitimacy to the Jewish state:

"There is no solution to the conflict in this region except with the disappearance of Israel," he told the crowd.

More Nasrallah quotes, from Lebanon's Daily Star, October 22, 2002:

"Peace settlements will not change reality, which is that Israel is the enemy and that it will never be a neighbor or a nation... (I) promise Israel that it will see more suicide attacks, for we will write our history with blood."

“If they [the Jews] all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them world wide.”
Speigel (Germany) August 15, 2006

SPIEGEL:
But negotiations failed to prevent the burning of Beirut and bombardment of Haifa.

CARTER:
I'm distressed. But I think that the proposals that have been made in the last few days by the (Lebanese) Prime Minister (Fuoad) Siniora are quite reasonable. And I think they should declare an immediate cease-fire on both sides, Hezbollah said they would comply...

Jihad-Appeasement Case Study: Jimmy Carter

Speigel Online (Germany) August 15, 2006

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SPIEGEL:
You... mentioned the hatred for the United States throughout the Arab world which has ensued as a result of the invasion of Iraq. Given this circumstance, does it come as any surprise that Washington's call for democracy in the Middle East has been discredited

CARTER: No, as a matter of fact, the concerns I exposed have gotten even worse now with the United States supporting and encouraging Israel in its unjustified attack on Lebanon.

SPIEGEL: But wasn't Israel the first to get attacked?

CARTER: I don't think that Israel has any legal or moral justification for their massive bombing of the entire nation of Lebanon. What happened is that Israel is holding almost 10,000 prisoners, so when the militants in Lebanon or in Gaza take one or two soldiers, Israel looks upon this as a justification for an attack on the civilian population of Lebanon and Gaza. I do not think that's justified, no.

Are such grievous jihadist-appeasing distortions, denials and equivocations the result of willful subversion - or a brain malfuction?

==========================================================================

A "Cease-Fire" From Hell, Produced By Idiocy - Or Brain Malfunction?


An original graphic interpretation by JonQuixote




No wonder Nasrallah is smiling.

He won. He knows it. And most of all, he knows he never could have achieved this victory only with weapons, butchering brutality and guerilla tactics.

No, this victory could only have been achieved with the wilfull compliance, denial and appeasement of supposedly civilized people and nations around the world, and a United Nations that is among the most corrupt and counter-productive bodies in world history.

Hezbollah Balks At Withdrawal From the South
The Washington Post, Wednesday, August 16, 2006

"BEIRUT, Aug. 15 -- Hezbollah refused to disarm and withdraw its fighters from the battle-scarred hills along the border with Israel on Tuesday, threatening to delay deployment of the Lebanese army and endangering a fragile cease-fire…

"… (T)he makings of a compromise emerged from all-day meetings in Beirut, according to senior officials involved in the negotiations, and Prime Minister Fouad Siniora scheduled a cabinet session Wednesday for what he hoped would be formal approval of the deal. Hezbollah indicated it would be willing to pull back its fighters and weapons in exchange for a promise from the army not to probe too carefully for underground bunkers and weapons caches, the officials said….

"…(I)n a televised speech Monday evening, Nasrallah accused those who are pushing Hezbollah for immediate disarmament of 'insensitivity and immorality'...

"As the defense minister said, where there are Lebanese army troops, there can be no other armed presence," he added. 'The position of Hezbollah, at best, is ambiguous. They seem to have a fundamental problem with surrendering their arms and moving out of the south. That is very disappointing. The best spin you can put on it is that Nasrallah wants it sorted out in private'."

Annan To Israel: Ask Me First
Israel May Not Shoot Back Without Permission
Jerusalem Newswire, August 16, 2006
(hat tip: AtlasShrugs)

"If Hizb’allah breaks the ceasefire – as they already have – and shoots at Israeli citizens or population centers, territory or forces, the IDF may in most cases not respond before informing the United Nations Secretary General of the violation, and obtaining his permission to shoot back. This is the expectation of Kofi Annan, as spelled out in a letter from him to the sovereign government of the State of Israel earlier this week.

"While the Hizb’allah’s invasion of sovereign Israeli territory on July 12 – when it killed eight IDF soldiers and kidnapped two – and its raining down of nearly 4,000 missiles deliberately on Israeli civilians in their homes constitute war crimes, Annan’s United Nations at no time during the 33-day long conflict discussed indicting Hizb’allah or condemning the Lebanese government for permitting these war crimes to take place...

Should Israel observe Hizb’allah forces restocking their rocket supplies north of the Litani River, for example, IDF forces may not cross that boundary to deal with the threat.

"According to a report in Ha’aretz Tuesday, a compromise agreement is currently 'being hammered out between Hizb’allah and the Lebanese government [that] would allow the Shi'ite guerillas to keep hidden weapons in south Lebanon'...

"Israel must furthermore give Annan a detailed description of precisely where all its armor and soldiers were deployed at the moment the ceasefire came into effect. Israel may not change the number or location of its troops without informing the UN chief.

"(Hezbollah's continued attacks on Israel) has been and will continue to be made possible by the refusal of Lebanese Prime Minister Hannah Siniora, as spelled out by him Monday, to in any way try to disarm the Hizb’allah."





=============================================


Uh-huh.

And what does the new, seething leftist base of the Democratic Party have to say about all this?

See for yourself - at one of their primary online confab locations,
The Huffington Post --- on these threads: here and here.

It's the same hysterical, Jew-hating, Israel-bashing, UN-worshipping, blame-America-first, jihadist-appeasement tripe that leads directly to Nasrallah's confidence that he can continue to murder Israelis, while the world and the UN stand by and do absolutely nothing except enable him, while condemning Israel.


Remind me again how jihadist-appeasement is not a brain disorder?

Birth Of A Nation: Hezbollahstan

.

It is now only a matter of time before the nation formerly known as Lebanon will cease to exist, to be replaced by the jihadists' latest victory:

Hezbollahstan.


And similarly, it is only a matter of time before Hezbollastan attacks Israel, and resumes the reign of terror that it instigated on July 12, and carried on for five weeks before being prematurely aborted, in the name of "peace."


Hezbollahstan's unholy birth will be made possible primarily by the "world community's":

  • Endless and unjustified castigation of Israel, particularly in the media, for defending itself
    .
  • Appeasement of jihadist butchers, their enablers and defenders
    .
  • Refusal to discern between the murderer and murdered, the terrorist and the terrorized, and Hezbollah and life-focused groups with grievances
After enduring decades of war, strife and destruction, Lebanon enjoyed a brief moment of peace and reconstruction in the past eight years. Beirut was gradually reclaiming its former glory as one of the Mediterranian's premier vacation destinations, and blossoming atop the blood-soaked soil was a semi-free, open, multi-religious culture.


(L) Hezbollah recruiter and Lebanese children; (R) Remind anyone of the Hitler Youth?


But beneath the surface, something else was also blossoming: jihad.


Hezbollah had intimidated (or otherwise "convinced") a sufficient number of Lebanese civilians and local government officials into letting it set up shop in their communities.

Some, a minority, saw this is a deal with the devil: that potentially grave harm was going to come from this deal. With the estimated $100 million per year that Hezbollah was getting from Iran, it set up and operated welfare and aid services, medical centers, schools and other "public services."

Like anyone else seeking something for nothing (translation: welfare statists), many Lebanese people refused to think about what this would all mean, and where it would all lead.

Hezbollah clearly had intentions other than what it advertised. It despised the permissive culture that was taking root in Lebanon. Similarly to the Mafia, it set up shop - in and around civilians. It became entrenched. The Lebanese people, either too brainwashed or too trusting or too unwilling to project out to the logical conclusions what their decisions would lead to, went along.

What they may not have realized is that what they were voting for was to commit national suicide.

And the result has been exactly what was inevitable: destruction, death and misery.

That is all jihadists will ever produce, because their focus and value system is not on this world, or on human life - it is on the supposed "paradise" that is promised to them in the afterlife, by forcing "infidels" to convert to their particular flavor of Islam, or to murder, enslave or otherwise oppress them, if they refuse.


===================================

UPDATE, AUGUST 16: HEZBOLLAH REFUSES TO DISARM OR WITHDRAW (SURPRISE!)


Now, as expected (except by Euro-weenies, American intellectuals and leftist activists), contrary to the terms of the "cease fire" agreement and UN Resolution 1559, Hezbollah has announced that it will neither disarm nor withdraw from southern Lebanon.

As I said on Huffington Post this evening:

"And this is a surprise!?A friend's kid (12 yrs old) figured this out as soon as the news of this faux 'cessation of hostilities' was agreed to at the UN, the most corrupt world body since... well, forever.

"But hey, 'the world' demanded that the US and Israel make a good-faith effort to stop all this. Israel agreed. Lebanon agreed. Hezbollah agreed.As I said here at about 8am, I doubt that Hezbollah's jihadist butchers will be able to last more than a few more days without getting civilian blood on their hands.

"If this surprises anyone other than Euro-weenies and American intellectuals, they deserve what they get.Israel should never have stopped. Next time (probably a matter of hours now), I pray they won't."

I can't wait to see what fascinating and insightful (!) things will be posted in reply. Well, here, follow the thread for yourself to see the face of the new "base" of the Democratic Party has to say about this.

Condi came home last week after saying that these were "birthing pains" or something to that effect, that a new Middle East was being born.

Although I'm one of her biggest fans, she was wrong. That "birthing sound" you heard was the sound of a new jihadist nation being taken over, or born, depending on your perspective.

And thanks to the outcries of "the world community" for peace, of journalists' lapping up Hezbollah's media propaganda and manipulations like puppies to warm milk, and of outright jihadist-appeasers in Europe and beyond, we are now left with facing an emboldened jihadist cabal that will need to be dealt with.

As I noted on
another post here, the moment "the world community" gave Hezbollah's chief jihadist butcher, Hassan Nasrallah, the "right" to determine what any "cease fire" would consist of, it essentially surrendered whatever moral authority it claimed, in one single shot.

Whatever deaths, destruction and human missery will be caused by having to deal with Hezbollastan now, it won't be a small fraction of what it will take if we let this cancer continue to metastasize until THEY are ready to pick a new time, place and means of instigating a new, expanded jihad against the West.


=========================================

UPDATE, MAY 3, 2007: AS PREDICTED, HEZBOLLAH HAS NOW BEEN RE-ARMED TO THE TEETH, AND IS POISED TO RE-START THE WAR IT INSTIGATED AGAINST ISRAEL

Let's just consider this another Gomer Pyle moment: "Surprise, surprise, surprise!!!" Read it all HERE.

Then, relate this information to news stories that have been posted here at JQWorld for months prior... here, here, here, here. Will we ever learn?

Ahmadinejad Validates JonQuixote's Contentions Re Jihadist-Leftist Love-Fest


Bloggers at The Huffington Post and elsewhere ridiculed and denounced me when I posited in my August 14, 2006 post that:

  • The Iranian madman, Ahmadinejad, was using many of the same talking points as the seething leftists in America and beyond, to cloak his relentless exporting and support of terrorists throughout the world, and his true, despotic intentions
    .
  • Leftists --- especially those who preach "justice" and "peace" and "rights" and "social justice" and "tolerance" in America and beyond --- are the primary non-Muslim enablers and defenders of bloodthirsty jihadists and murderers like Ahmadinejad
Well, thanks to a prescient and timely tip from a fan of this blog, my contention has been confirmed - by none other than Ahmadinejad himself, on an official Iranian governmental website:

(Tehran, June 27) IRNA President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said here Monday night that justice-seeking is an instinctive issue, stressing administration of justice is a great ideal for human beings.

President Ahmadinejad made the remark in a meeting with the visiting Greek president of
Socialist International, George A. Papandreou. "Today, despite great progress made in societies, humans still suffer from discrimination and inequality as a result of lack of social justice." Efforts made by certain individuals and groups to administer justice have failed because there is no correct definition of justice. "Those who seek justice in the world should set a proper and comprehensive definition of justice as a base for their activities because human beings will accept justice if they experience real justice."

The president added, "Justice-seeking and democratization have actually turned into a slogan and a cover for politicians in certain societies to seize power and dominate nations. Real justice-seekers always seek to materialize justice as a human ideal and never strive to obtain financial power."

He said the Iranian nation loves peace, adding, "Iranians, based on their religious thoughts, are always after establishment of peace and sustainable justice in the world." Ahmadinejad said Iran and Greece have been cradles of civilization during different periods of time, adding, "The two countries should strive to establish justice based on dignity of all human beings using their rich culture and great commonalties."

Papandreou, for his part, said the Iranian nation has always been a pioneer in administering social justice, adding administration of justice in the world would help establish security, tranquility and welfare for all human beings. Papandreou, who was Greece's foreign minister from 1999 to 2004 and a leader of the main opposition party, the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) in Greece since 2004, condemned injustice done by certain powers, particularly the United States, through Iraq's occupation and preventing Iran's access to nuclear energy.

"All nations and governments should try to establish justice in the world so that unilateralism would be destroyed."

In 2006, Papandreou became president of Socialist International, an international organization of social democratic, democratic socialist and labor parties. The Party of European Socialists, a European political party active in the European Parliament, is an associated organization of Socialist International. As a non-governmental organization, Socialist International has a consultative status with the United Nations.

Wow.

In future posts I will dissect exactly what is said here, and demonstrate the key fallacies and outright lies that are contained in this "news release."

For now, it's certainly worthwhile to reflect on how this pseudo-speak squares with what we already know about Ahmadinejad, the mullahs who control life in Iran, and the true legacy of barbarism that jihadists like these - and their seething leftist enablers and defenders - have wrought, and continue to wreak on the world.

In the interim, consult these helpful websites:

The Big Kahuna Of Islamic Terror Speaks To "60 Minutes" - And American Leftists!!!


Did anyone notice how many of the key points Ahmedinejad made sounded exactly like a commercial for International ANSWER, CodePink, United for Peace & Justice, NotInOurName, Socialist Worker's Party, MoveOn.org and Communist Party USA? (collectively, the new "base" of the Democratic Party)

Has he been reading their talking points --- or have they been reading his!?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE: 14 August 06

Secret email from Ahmedinejad to American Leftists intercepted!!!

I guess Uncle Mahmoud has the same problem typing in email addresses as his buddy Nasrallah does... this ended up in my email box this morning...


A CONFIDENTIAL EMAIL

FROM: MAHMOUD AHMEDINEJAD, President, People's Islamic Republic of Iran

TO: AMERICAN LEFTISTS

DATE: 14 AUGUST 2006

RE: THANKS; PLEASE CONTINUE

DEAR AMERICAN LEFTISTS:

I trust you enjoyed my interview with "60 Minutes" star Mike Wallace last night, and that you'll watch the unedited version that will air tonight on C-SPAN. Thank you for your many supportive emails; I and my gang of jihadists (er, I mean, government officials, clerics and mullahs) really appreciate it.

I assume you noticed how similar the words and phrases that I used must sound familiar to you - such as how George Bush is a terrorist, that America is intent on building a global empire, that he doesn't care about the Americans without health insurance, that he is terrorizing innocent Muslim women and children, that he and his colleagues are evil, etc. They sound familiar to you because they came directly from the talking points I obtained from some of your more prominent (translation: rabid) leftist organizations, such as International ANSWER, Code Pink, Not In Our Name, MoveOn.org, United for Peace and Justice, Peace Now, and even the Democratic Party (Chairman Howard Dean has been a god-send, er, I mean, an Allah-send!!!). Through our intermediaries, primarily Islamic charities and "humanitarian relief" organizations, Iran will continue to make sizable contributions to these organizations, as well as the "cultural studies" and "humanities" programs at your many universities.

Of course, we both know that I couldn't give an Israeli dog's butt about any of this; I've made our terrorism-exporting and caliphate-building intentions very clear. But thankfully, thanks to your abhorrent educational system, very, very few of your fellow citizens can draw the vital parallels to my interview, and the speeches by Adolph Hitler in the late 1930s, regarding his feigned desire for "peace" and "justice" and how he had absolutely no intentions to enslave Europe, and then, the world. They have no conception of history - so everything they hear, they are more than likely to lap up like puppies to warm milk.

Didn't I do good? Judging from your emails, I think I did. The blood of millions of innocent people are on my hands, and those of my aforementioned colleagues - and if I have my way, many millions more will suffer as the result of our jihad, matched with our quest for so-called weapons of mass destruction.

The only things standing in our way right now are those infidel Israeli dogs, the American people, particularly your government, and certain elements of other goverments in Europe and other regions.

So I really, really, really need you to continue excusing our murderous jihad, or at least, propagating the notion that we can be negotiated with, that we can be appeased, that if George Bush would just sit down and talk with us, we can be dissuaded from our intentions. Code-words such as "peace," "diplomacy," "justice" and "humanitarian" must be used repeatedly. We need you to continue refusing to differentiate between the murderer and the murdered, the terrorists and the terrorized, the jihadist and the committed freedom-loving peoples of the world.

Please, in the name of Allah, the merciful, continue to speak out against everything your current administration has done, is doing, and plans to do, to deal with the Iranian threat, once and for all. We only need a little more time to create our first nuclear weapon, and after that, well... Allah will tell. And most of all, keep pestering your news media with your hateful comments and diatribes, all directed at America, its history, present and future, vis a vis its "war on terror."

We both know that America is the most unjust, unfair, murderous, marauding, imperialist, malevolent nation that has ever existed in the history of the world. But, we need to temper our outrage, for the moment, to focus just on the Bush administration. For whatever his other faults that unite many if not most Americans, such as runaway spending, etc., we must continue to drive home the point that his "war on terror" is unwinnable, that he is evil, and that he is only embarking on this crusade to oppress and murder Muslim people, while enriching his friends in the oil industry.

Again, thank you - you are having a vital, timely impact on our efforts.

ALLAH AKBAR, my friends....

Mahmoud

PS: We'll try to remember all your assistance (whether given knowingly or unknowingly) when you are brought before our tribal councils and mullahs, who will judge and sentence you for your innumerable infidel crimes. Perhaps they will show you leniency; perhaps not.
