Tehran tells UN: Biden has signaled US approval for attack on Iran, will bear responsibility
2024-10-22
[IsraelTimes] US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Too old and senile to be prosecuted, not too old and senile to set national policy...
has signaled "tacit approval and explicit support for Israel’s unlawful military aggression against Iran," Iran’s mission to the United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
says, citing remarks by Biden in Germany last week.

"The United States will bear full responsibility for its role in instigating, inciting and enabling any acts of aggression by Israel against the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
... as well as for the catastrophic consequences on regional and international peace and security," Iran’s UN mission says in a letter to the UN Security Council.

Biden, on a visit to Berlin, also told news hounds he has an understanding of how and when Israel will respond to the missile attacks by Iran. He declined to elaborate.

#14  Makes sense, she would (did?) inform Iran - not leak to American press.

Good point. Someone in her office, perhaps? My initial guess was an uber-woke intern somewhere fighting for Paleostinian Justice rather than doing their damn job.

Wiki cite: "THE COUNTERINTELLIGENCE POLYGRAPH
A Counterintelligence Polygraph asks the candidate questions limited to those necessary to determine whether the examinee ever had any involvement with or knowledge of espionage/sabotage against the United States, unauthorized contact with representatives of a foreign government, or unauthorized disclosure of classified material. A Counterintelligence Polygraph is the most common polygraph. Within the Department of Defense (DoD), polygraph examinations used to determine initial eligibility for special assignment or special access are limited to counterintelligence questions.

The DoD CI exam questions cover:

Espionage
Sabotage
Terrorist Activities
Deliberate damage of U.S. Government Information Systems
Intentional compromise of U.S. Government Classified Information
Secret contact with a foreign national or representative"

#9  If Trump wins, a significant number of senior political appointee and SES pro-Iranian players in the IC/DoD universe are going to be very nervous. Not just about keeping their job but rather, about avoiding prosecution and their future in the classified workplace.

I strongly suspect they know that those institutions have a number of genuine patriots still in place, along with a fair number of "ambidextrous" careerist players who have mastered the defense of their respective rice bowls over the years. Many of both groups have kept "insurance policies" and alibi documents over the past 4 years (or longer). As the cleansing begins at Langley, Nebraska Avenue, Meade and the "E" Ring, I expect the emergence of all sorts of surprises that would never see the light of day if Kamala is installed. Many of those surprises will involve Iran and what was done to support it.

High-Level Iranian Spy Ring Busted in Washington D.C. Posted on 10/3/23 at 6:53 am

"The Biden administration’s now-suspended Iran envoy Robert Malley helped to fund, support, and direct an Iranian intelligence operation designed to influence the United States and allied governments, according to a trove of purloined Iranian government emails. The emails, which were reported on by veteran Wall Street Journal correspondent Jay Solomon, writing in Semafor, and by Iran International, the London-based émigré opposition outlet which is the most widely read independent news source inside Iran, were published last week after being extensively verified over a period of several months by the two outlets. They showed that Malley had helped to infiltrate an Iranian agent of influence named Ariane Tabatabai into some of the most sensitive positions in the U.S. government—first at the State Department and now the Pentagon, where she has been serving as chief of staff for the assistant secretary of defense for special operations, Christopher Maier."
