Tehran John: Pro-Iranian lobby funding Kerry
2004-10-14
Whistleblowers disclose hundreds of thousands of dollars given candidate
Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been given to Kerry from the pro-Iranian lobby, possibly influencing the presidential candidate's startling call to provide Tehran with the nuclear fuel it seeks, according to Iran's Student Movement Coordination Committee for Democracy chairman Aryo Pirouznia. With top Iranian officials openly calling for the development of nuclear weapons within the next four months and overwhelming intelligence indicating Iran is seeking to create a nuclear arsenal, Kerry has been insisting as president he would provide Tehran with nuclear fuel as long as it is used for peaceful purposes only, a position that has many Middle East analysts baffled. During the first presidential debate, Kerry said, "I think the United States should have offered the opportunity to provide the nuclear fuel, test them, see whether or not they were actually looking for it for peaceful purposes."

#4  "Kerry has embraced the political agenda of Akbarpour and other wealthy Iranian-Americans lobbying for Tehran. Aside from nuclear accommodation, other key positions include ending the finger printing of Iranian visitors to the U.S; expanding "family reunion" visas to allow extended family members of Iranians living in the U.S. to immigrate here legally and in large numbers; offering a "dialogue" with the hard-line, terrorist-supporting clerics in Tehran; and help Iran join the World Trade Organization. "

I got so much grief a while back for complaining that something about John Kerry reminded me of Hitler (after I had heard Kerry speak for the first time). His now-revealed ties to the Socialist Workers Party, his advocating for bilateral talks with N. Korea, his Vietnam record, his dissing the WOT, and this kind of stuff makes it pretty doggone clear that he's really weird and has much larger aspirations than one might think, at first glance. And I still think he sounds like Hitler. (so there, all you nay-sayers) Kerry works real hard on his visual presentations, too--just like Adolf did.

I guess his totalitarian leanings, coupled with his communication style, were what I was noticing as being similar.

#3  When THK said "no blood for oil" she didn't mean "no loot for nukes".
