How Iranian nuclear scientist was murdered

Assassination of Iran's top nuclear scientist 'involved 62 operatives

By News Agencies

November 29, 2020 "Information Clearing House" - Remarkable detail of the plot to kill an Iranian nuclear scientist emerged on Saturday, a day after the assassination of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh reverberated around the world.  

Sixty two people were involved in the scheme, according to Mohamad Ahwaze, an Iranian journalist who exposed the extent of the COVID-19 pandemic in his country.

Ahwaze said he had obtained leaked Iranian information.

Iranian officials have blamed Israel's Mossad for the assassination. One American official and two other intelligence officials also told the New York Times that Israel was behind the attack. ....

A painting depicting an Aussie soldier committing an atrocity on an Afghan child twitted out by a Chinese officer offends the Australian govt whose soldiers have been (and probably still are) committing war crimes.  A tweet can offend, but killing of children by soldiers apparently does not do it where the Australian govt is concerned.

China’s image of an Aussie soldier slitting a child’s throat was BRUTAL, but why shouldn’t Beijing highlight Western war crimes?

 Australia has reacted with fury to a tweet from a Chinese official depicting a child being murdered by a soldier in Afghanistan. Highlighting the West’s atrocities is, it seems, still considered unacceptable.

China and Australia continue to be at loggerheads. Following the recent announcement that China would be imposing an anti-dumping tariff of up to 200 percent on Australian wine imports, Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian ignited controversy by tweeting a graphic satirical image of an Australian soldier cutting the throat of an Afghan child, a jibe relating to the country’s own inquiry into war crimes committed by troops in the Central Asian country.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison was not impressed and said Beijing should be “utterly ashamed” of the image, calling it repugnant and demanding an apology. However Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chungying defended the tweet, stating “they said the Chinese government should feel ashamed but it is Australian soldiers who committed such cruel crimes” and urging Canberra to do “some soul searching.”

A number of news outlets, including the BBC, have branded the image misinformation or “fake.” This is false. The Brereton Report itself states that young boys had their “throats slit” in specified incidents. So, while it is arguably undiplomatic for Zhao Lijian to post something so graphic, it is not misleading...............

 The Covid madness continues.  Millions of small biz owners devastated.  How many thousands around the world have committed suicide because of  a flu that kills far, far, far less than 0.0001% of world population?  How many cancer patients and sufferers of other diseases are no more because the goddamned bastards ruling over us decided to play God and rain down quarantines and lockdowns on us, focusing solely on the flu and ignoring all other illnesses???

At the time of this writing, the United States currently maintains the highest number of Covid-19 deaths and ranks 11th for the highest deaths per capita. There have been approximately 262,000 recorded Covid-19 deaths in the United States, which is certainly a concerning number.

However, a new study (link removed or site crashed but now available at Archive.org) published by Dr. Genevieve Briand at Johns Hopkins University notes some critical accounting errors done at the national level. The study – which is still being vetted – simply examines the raw data that should have been questioned months ago. The overall conclusion is that Covid-19, at least according to collected data, is not the killer disease that it is currently hyped up to be. AIER is not endorsing the study as is without further study, but we are interested in the argument being examined and discussed.

Viewing Covid-19 Deaths in Context

It is already well established that Covid-19 is a disease that is most dangerous to those over the age of 65 and who have preexisting conditions. In the United States, there has been an observed2.1% mortality rate, with elderly individuals making up over half that number.

Young and healthy people are not by any significant capacity threatened by Covid-19.

One of the most important factors when it comes to Covid-19 is preventing excess death. According to the CDC,

    “Estimates of excess deaths can provide information about the burden of mortality potentially related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including deaths that are directly or indirectly attributed to COVID-19. Excess deaths are typically defined as the difference between the observed numbers of deaths in specific time periods and expected numbers of deaths in the same time periods.”

Essentially, there is an average number of deaths every year due to a variety of causes that for the most part have remained constant through the years. This includes morbidities such as heart disease, which has long been the leading cause of death, and cancer, which has long plagued our existence. For Covid-19 to be a serious cause of alarm, it would need to significantly increase the number of average deaths....................

Yemen’s Houthi fighters have claimed the killing of at least eight Saudi soldiers.

Yahya Saree, a military spokesman for the Iran-aligned group, said late on Sunday that fighters attacked the Tadawin camp in the Marib governorate, where Saudi forces are stationed with a ballistic missile.

Mad man Netanyahu and the lunatics surrounding him are doing nothing but creating ill-will in the world against the Jewish folks living peacefully in countries other than Israel.  Don't they realize that the actions they take in Israel, affect the Jewish community worldwide?  Is Netanyahu's intention to make Jews leave their secure countries and migrate to Israel where the  Israeli nuts along with the residents of the numbero uno loony bin known as the evangelicals, are hoping for the total madness of the "second coming" or some such nonsense???

Israeli Official To NYT: The World Should Thank Israel for Killing Iranian Scientist
Anonymous official says Israel 'would continue to act against the Iranian nuclear program as necessary'
Dave DeCamp Posted on November 29, 2020Categories NewsTags Iran, Israel    

While Israel has not officially claimed responsibility for killing top Iranian scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, anonymous Israeli officials speaking to the press are eager to take credit.

An anonymous Israeli official speaking to The New York Times said the world should thank Israel for assassinating top Iranian scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.

The Times described its source as “a senior Israeli official involved for years in tracking Mr. Fakhrizadeh for Israel.” The official said Israel “would continue to act against the Iranian nuclear program as necessary.”

Fakhrizadeh’s killing came at a time of heightened tensions in the region between the US and Iran. Earlier this month, a report said President Trump reviewed options to attack an Iranian nuclear site but was talked out of pulling the trigger by his senior advisors.

The report said President Trump left other options open to hit Iran’s nuclear program, which raises questions about Washington’s foreknowledge of Fakhrizadeh’s assassination.
