Gantz Claims Zionist Entity Can Invade Iran
Al-Manar | April 17, 2013
The Israeli military chief claimed the Zionist entity can invade the Islamic Republic of Iran on its own.
Chief of Staff Lt. Gen Benny Gantz made the remarks in an interview on public radio in East al-QudsGantz (Jerusalem) on Tuesday, AFP reported.
“We have our plans and forecasts… If the time comes we’ll decide” on whether to take military action against Iran, he said.
Other Israeli officials made similar remarks, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister for Military Affairs Moshe Ya’alon.
Netanyahu said that US-engineered sanctions against Iran over its nuclear energy program might not be enough.
Ya’alon also said Iran’s nuclear energy program is the most dangerous threat to the world.
The United States, Israel and some of their allies have repeatedly accused Iran of pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program with the Israeli regime repeatedly threatening to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities based on the unsubstantiated allegation.
Iran rejects the allegations, arguing that as a committed signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), it has the right to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.

Ronald Reagan’s Torture
By Robert Parry | Consortium News | September 8, 2009
The 2004 CIA Inspector General’s report, released in August 2009, referenced as “background” to the Bush-era abuses the spy agency’s “intermittent involvement in the interrogation of individuals whose interests are opposed to those of the United States.” The report noted “a resurgence in interest” in teaching those techniques in the early 1980s “to foster foreign liaison relationships.”
The report said, “because of political sensitivities,” the CIA’s top brass in the 1980s “forbade Agency officers from using the word ‘interrogation” and substituted the phrase “human resources exploitation” [HRE] in training programs for allied intelligence agencies.
The euphemism aside, the reality of these interrogation techniques remained brutal, with the CIA Inspector General conducting a 1984 investigation of alleged “misconduct on the part of two Agency officers who were involved in interrogations and the death of one individual,” the report said (although the details were redacted in the version released to the public).
In 1984, the CIA also was hit with a scandal over what became known as an “assassination manual” prepared by agency personnel for the Nicaraguan Contras, a rebel group sponsored by the Reagan administration with the goal of ousting Nicaragua’s leftist Sandinista government.
Despite those two problems, the questionable training programs apparently continued for another two years. The 2004 IG report states that “in 1986, the Agency ended the HRE training program because of allegations of human rights abuses in Latin America.”
While the report’s references to this earlier era of torture are brief – and the abuses are little-remembered features of Ronald Reagan’s glorified presidency – there have been other glimpses into how Reagan unleashed this earlier “dark side” on the peasants, workers and students of Central America. … continue

Your hope is fact, Frank… there are two different places that tell of how Iran plays out in the end days.. {end of evil that is}..one is in Isaiah 13:17 “For I will stir up Medes {Iran} against Babylon {zionists amerika/isRAhell}…and no amoung of silver or gold will buy them off.. the attacking armies whill shoot down young people, and have no mercy on babies or young children”. etc.. on down to Babylons days are numbered: it’s time of destruction will soon arrive”. The next chapter is the taunting of evil as they are in hell..I use the New International version, it is the least confusing of this bastardisation of Gods true Holy Word, which they have hidden in the depths of the evil Vatican.. they have deceived the whole world with lies and more lies. Another important ‘clue’ is Chapter15:31 Weep you Philistine cities, for YOU ARE DOOMED! A powerful army is coming out of the north…both 15 & 16 tells of the destruction by Iran, who was given the power by the ONE who they worship.. THE GREAT I AM!…actually I love reading the next few chapters, telling the destruction of the evil cities..then in Chapter 21.. the Watchman calls out ‘Day after day I have stood on the watchtower. Night after night I have remained at my post.. now AT LAST! LOOK! Here come the warriors! Then the watchman said: Babylon is fallen and all the idols of Babylon lie broken on the ground… O my people.. threshed and winnowed, I have told you everything the Lord Almighty, The GOD of Heaven has said”.. {as a personal note, sometimes I fancy myself as that very watchman.. I have watched for my whole life, almost 70 years… the days seemed so long… but now.. I say with this watchman..Look…at last!…..) Chapter 35 is very inspirational.. one of my favorite verses: The deserts will become as green as the mountains of Lebanon, as lovely as Mt. Carmels pastures and the plains of Sharon.
Another reference to Iran, and what God has planned: Chapter 41:25 But I have stirred up a leader from the north and east. He will come against the nations and call on my name and I will give him victory over kings and princes. He will trample them as a potter treads on clay. In Rev. 9 it has been made confusing, but in verse 16 Iran is seen leading an army of 200 million troops … It is very plain to see that Iran is hated and despised because of their relationship with God. It is so strong that God is going to honor them, in the end of earth days. I love Iran, I deeply admire Mahmoud President Ahmadinajad, and love him for his courage, his love and trust in God, and his undaunting words to the world, and the zionists at the U.N. meetings. I feel that he is my brother… as I feel toward most of the commenters on this blog. I admire Aletho for letting me say what I must say, to encourage a few, or many, who need Gods encouragement. We are all important to Him. We were created individually by Him to be someone special to HIM, not just randomly ‘there’. Each of us was created in one of two ways: by His seed {the smallest particle in Quantum Physics that so eludes ‘scientists) in the womb of His beloved wife, or by His hand, as the potter lovingly creates something beautiful to please himself. He is not ‘somewhere out there’ … He sees our hearts, hears our pleas, and cries in frustration with us, His whole reason for ‘being’ is loving us. He is hugely unfathomable, He is brilliant, He is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. He is love, hope, faith, and He is ours.

I will add this: it takes billions of zionist amerikas fake money to support this war-mongering, worthless ‘state’ of cockroach dung…. which cannot feasibly, or logically continue with the massive debt incurred by the u.s. It would be my advice to them to do what they threaten to do to Iran, in an expedient manner, before they experience the wrath of Almighty God. It most certainly is going to happen, sooner than later.. and they most certainly are fully aware of what HE has planned for liars, those who practice witchcraft, voodoo, and black majic, sodomites whores, warmongers, murderers, pedephiles, cheats, and lovers of satan/lucifer. Most of all for the CRIME of hating GOD and HIS creation. The earth is falling apart at an ever increasing speed. Sea life is almost completely dead, radiation, chem trails, corexit, combined with toxic gases, has covered the earth, sickening or killing off all living things. Add the ever increasing number of earthquakes and I believe we will see what God has told us will happen… Rev 6. Total warfare by God, especially in the Middle East, where God has warned how He will free ALL of satans prisoners, specifically, Gaza and Palestine. How HE hates you isRAhell…. and you will pay with suffering.. not for a little while, as we did on earth, but FORever! Read the rest… worthless ‘state’ of cockroach dung.. God will remove ALL His people from earth, and he will cause famine, wars, pestilence, filthy diseases that ravage the mind and body.. He will cause the entire monetary system to collapse.. in one day, and there will be no place to hide. All evil will be totally exposed. The worshippers of Beelzebub/satan who are symbolic of a devotion to hatred, decay, destruction, demoralization, hysteria, and panic will be stripped of any facade, any attempt at deceit, exposed for the pure evil and the superficial nature of the human moral system..knowing that they are the reason things are what they are on earth. ..the blackness/evil within, a blackness that is now unleased to the whole world. THIS is what YOU! isRAhell/amerika, known as “Babylon the Great, mother of all prostitutes and obscenities in the world.. I could see that she was drunk… drunk with the blood of Gods’ Holy people..” Revelation 17. All those who love evil will be judged with this monster: “All the people who belong to this world, whose names were NOT written in the Book of Life from before the world began. Rev. 13: And all the people who belong to this world worshipped the beast/lucifer/satan. They are the ones whose names were NOT written in the Book of LIFE, which belongs to the Lamb who was MURDERED before the world was made:. Gods beloved Lamb, His wife, the mother of His jewels, His children. The Woman, in Revelation 12. ” Anyone who is willing to hear should listen and UNDERSTAND. They will be dealt with {paraphrased}. But do NOT be dismayed, for you must have endurance and FAITH in God. ”
God will NOT be mocked by anyone, but certainly not with the likes of the evilness we see blatantly displayed on this earth.. I encourage you, warriors of GOD… take great heart, we have our Holy One, our protector and salvation, the provider of great strength….and HE will NEVER leave us alone. We must uplift and encourage one another, for we belong in the state of Heaven, together…where there is only peace and love.

The unraveling of the United Nations has been relentless and systematic by Israel. The United Nations gave itself noble objectives coming out of the fire of wars. Alas, there are always individuals who seize disaster as opportunities. Thus, with the founding of the state of Israel, an opportunity was created to provide Europe with access to cheap oil. Once an enclave was created for the Zionists, they went about to legitimize their presence on Arab lands by rewriting history. It was not difficult for them to rewrite history because the Arabs themselves had been rewriting history. The United Nations paid lip service to Israel’s transgressions with its neighbors and never enforced its own resolutions upon Israel. Today, there is no respect for the sovereignty of nations. The world is spiraling into strong man rule as Israel and the United States make threat after threat against the sovereign nation of Iran. The behavior of the US in the world to invade sovereign nations based on lies in order to steal that nation’s resources, torture and no accountability makes a mockery of the world community of nations. There may have men of good intentions who drafted the Charter of the United Nations for the preservation of law and order in international disputes but it has remained just an ideal by nefarious men. Like everything else, when men and women of noble ideals and character are not at the helm of institutions, all falls down. The United Nations now lies exposed, annihilated by the Zionists that it fought to defeat.

‘The United Nations gave itself noble objectives coming out of the fire of wars’.
Ribeekah, there has never ever been any ‘noble men in ‘control of the world since it was created’. .. The world was created for the evil ones …illuminati.. to control, with lucifer the leader of the pack. They would never allow anyone who was ‘noble’ to be one of their gang members. If you did a search for the illuminati symbols that pervade Washington D.C., you would plainly see it was designed to worship satan. For instance.. who would ever believe that the Washington Monument symbolizes and worships satans phallus? As do the steeples of ALL churches? But that is exactly the case. No one need to believe me, but what I search, and have for my entire life… is TRUTH. I KNOW the truth. There is so much more… the Bohemian Grove where they sacrifice babies.. a graveyard full of thousands of babies skeletons… was found a few years back.. a few miles from where the illuminati ‘worship’ satan.. in Santa Rosa.. it made the news for a short while.. and then POOF! gone. I’m not going into all that proves this issue of good and bad.. but I would say that when I read your comments, I get very confused. It seems you are on the fence of who is bad and who is good. Just saying.. it’s confusing.. which side you are on seems to be the main subject of Aletho News. The blog is for Truthers.
