Iran’s Enablers in Latin America
Just how much should we be worried about Iran’s activity in Latin America? Consider a few recent news items:
* Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Ahani took a brief tour of South America last week, visiting Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. He got a warm reception at each stop. Indeed, his Brazilian counterpart, Maria Edileuza Fontenele, went so far as to say that Iran is one of her country’s “most important partners.” According to the Latin Business Chronicle, Iranian exports to Brazil increased by a whopping 29.1 percent in 2009, hitting $19 million, while Brazilian exports to Iran jumped by 4.1 percent to reach nearly $1.3 billion. Iran does more trade with Brazil than with any other country in Latin America.
* In early August, Iran formally agreed to build 10,000 homes in Venezuela, which is experiencing a major housing shortage (not to mention food, water, and electricity shortages).
* At a press briefing on July 25, Adm. Mike Mullen, the outgoing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, expressed concern about the burgeoning alliance between Tehran and Caracas.
* The day before Mullen delivered his remarks, Gen. Francisco Contreras, Peru’s former military chief of staff, gave a sobering interview to the Jerusalem Post. “We definitely need to be concerned with the growing presence of Iran in South America,” he said. “It appears that Iranian organizations provide support to other terrorist organizations, and that there is cooperation between them.”
* July 18 marked the 17th anniversary of a terrorist bombing that destroyed the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires and killed 85 people. It was — and remains — the single worst act of terrorism in Argentine history. The evidence that Tehran planned this attack is overwhelming, and Interpol has issued arrest warrants for several past or present Iranian officials. On the eve of the anniversary, Tehran informed Argentina that it was “ready for a constructive dialogue” about the AMIA bombing, yet it still refused to acknowledge Iranian culpability, and it still refused to extradite the Interpol suspects. One of those suspects, Gen. Ahmad Vahidi, is now serving as Iran’s defense minister.
* In late May, the Bolivian government hosted an official visit by General Vahidi, who subsequently left the country after Argentina protested. Upon arriving back in Tehran, Vahidi declared that “Latin America is no longer the U.S. backyard,” adding that “Iran will continue expanding its constructive relations with this region’s countries, especially the countries of the ALBA alliance.” (ALBA — otherwise known as the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas — is the leftist trade group led by Venezuela.)
Amen (unfortunately).
“A few weeks before General Vahidi traveled to Bolivia, the German newspaper Die Welt reported that Iran was building rocket bases in Venezuela.”
This is what we should be worrying about. It will not be long before Iran has nuclear weapons and then is able to attach such a weapon onto a rocket. You could have another Cuban Missile Crisis in the making here. Although the number of rockets in Venezuela would by no means be the same number as the Soviet Union had, it could still take out a city like Miami or another city in the southern part of the United States. The best way to stop this is to get rid of Chavez. I thought we caught a break and he was going to die of cancer, but he seems to be holding on for at least a while longer. We should be looking at who will replace Chavez once he is gone.
If the CIA had a pair, we’d just take out some of these ‘little problems’ and make it look like someone else did it. The Church Commission effective sawed off the CIA’s man-nuggets years ago though.
I don’t understand. When the former USSR sent missiles to Cuba and the US felt threatened, we blockaded Cuba and Nuclear brinkmanship ensued with the result that the USSR removed the missiles and a threat to the continental US was ended. There have been rumors that not all the missiles or all the warheads were removed but by now they must be so degraded that even were there some left over, they most likely can not and would not be used. If the US at that time followed the Monroe Doctrine to deny the USSR a foothold to our south, then why is our current leadership not following the same in regard to Venezuela? Discuss.
Both Iran and Venezuela seek America’s destruction. The U.S. administration should certainly have a plan regarding the rockets that are most likely planned to be used against America. It is extremely doubtful that this administration has any plan. It would not fit in with their leftist beliefs.
Obama and his administration took the side of communist Cuba against the people of brave, anti-communist Honduras.
U.S. borders are DELIBERATELY left unguarded enabling Muslim terrorists (and weapons of mass destruction?) to easily cross our borders. The very sad fact is there is no one watching out to protect America.
We can thank the American voters, who saw BO as their savior, for this state of affairs.
Thanks,Jaime.The two bombings in Buenos Aires was a criminal act.
IM just curious at what point to we actually consider this a threat? it seems like more and more we have countries and people activly stating, and working towards the goal of destroying the United states of America. but even conservs dont seem to treat this as a threat. we keep on thinking we can negotiate our way out with people who only want our destruction. do we really have to wait until the net a nuke and use it? how many attacks must we endure before we actually do something? you get peace through strength alone and you get strength by force. we keep on letting these groups get away with this, because we ‘dont want to hur innocents’ WAAHHHHHHH. if a country is supporting or harboring enemies of America, then they need their asses kicked. it dosent have to be an official ‘army’ doing the attacking. and thats where the fools keep getting confused. how many innocent americans need to die before we take out our enemies?if countries dont want us to attack them then stop harboring our enemies and help us find and kill them. otherwise they get bombed too! American lives and our way of life and our allies lives are more important than the citizens of a country who are trying to kill us.
How many people know that 2 out of 12 countries in South America, Suriname and Guyana, are member states of the Organization of Islamic Conference?
How many people understand that these Islamic South American countries are next door neighbors to Venezuela?
How many people understand the Islamic infiltration in the ‘tri-border’ region of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay which have been infiltrated by Hezbolla and al-Qaeda terror cells?
How many people know that in 1992 an Islamic suicide truck bomber blew up the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aries, leaving 29 dead and 242 wounded? A group called Islamic Jihad Organization claimed responsibility.
How many people know an Islamist bombing of a Jewish center in Buenos Aires in 1994 left 85 dead and some 300 wounded?
How many people know that in February 2009 a Jewish center in Caracas was vandalized and spray painted with graffiti on the synagogue walls that read, “We don’t want Jews here” and “Jews get out.”?
Can we put the peices together and understand why Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez has such an affection for Iran and its genocide raving madman president Ahmadinejad?
Can we understand that the Islamic drug trade in Central Asia and the drug trade in South/Central America and Mexico are like the twin faces of an evil Janus?
Can we understand that this evil Janus is opening the door along our southern border to these Islamists and narco-terrorists?
Our Emperor fiddles while our border states burn.
THE ISLAMIC WORLD WAR in South America.

THE ISLAMIC WORLD WAR
We must understand that Islam’s prime directive is the militant conquest of the entire world, mandated by Allah & Muhammed in the Koran & this hadith:
Allah’s Apostle Muhammed said “I have been ordered to fight the people till they say ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah’” – Bukhari (8:387)
COULD IT BE ANY MORE CRYSTAL CLEAR?
Islam has been dutifully following this mandate for 1,400 years, since the time Muhammed left Mecca for Medina. What we are facing is nothing less than an ISLAMIC WORLD WAR that rages on every continent except Antarctica, against everyone and everything “non-Islamic”.
Let’s look at the FACTS. Islam against:
- the Catholics in the Philippines (routine slaughter & beheadings)
- the Christians in Indonesia (routine slaughter & beheadings)
- Australian tourists in Bali (blown up…twice)
- the Buddhists in Thailand (routine slaughter & beheadings)
- the Hindus & Sikhs in India (hundreds of years battling the Islamic Jihad)
- the Jews in Mumbai (slaughtered)
- the Zoroastrians & Baha’i in Iran (virtually exterminated)
- Islamic converts to Christianity in Afghanistan (death fatwa)
- ancient Buddhist statues in Bamiyan, Afghanistan (blown up)
- the Chaldean Christians in Iraq (routine persecution, slaughter & church burnings)
- the Jews in Israel (routine attacks against civilians, threat of 2nd genocide)
- the Jews in Yemen (nearly exterminated)
- S. Korean & German tourists in Yemen (blown up)
- the Coptic Christians in Egypt (routine persecution, slaughter & church attacks)
- the Christians & animists in Sudan (genocide)
- the Christians in Kenya (constant Jihadist threat from Obama’s homies)
- the Christians in Nigeria (routine Jihadist attacks)
- U.S. embassies in Tanzania & Kenya (blown up)
- the athiests in Europe (the prime target)
- the native French in Paris (torched car terrorism)
- Jews in Paris (read the grisly story of Ilan Halimi, a Jewish shop clerk who was kidnapped, tortured and killed in 2006)
- the native Swedes in Malmo (Islamic rape brigades)
- the native Dutch in Amsterdam (routinely terrorized)
- Dutch politicians (Geert Wilders & Ayyan Hirsi Ali – death fatwa)
- Dutch cinematographers (Theo vanGogh savagely murdered by an Islamist in broad daylight)
- Dutch cartoonists (Kurt Westergaard – death fatwa)
- Dutch newspaper editors (Flemming Rose, Jyllands-Posten’s culture editor – death fatwa)
- Train commuters in Spain (blown up)
- Tube commuters in London (blown up)
- Airports in Scotland (blown up)
- Jews in Argentina (blown up)
- Jews in Caracas (blown up)
- Twin Tower office workers in N.Y. (blown up – twice)
- Defense workers in the Pentagon (blown up – airliner jihad)
- Army/Navy military recruiters in Little Rock (gunned down by an Islamist)
- Soldiers in Ft. Hood Texas (gunned down by an Islamist)
- Pedestrians at the U. of N. Carolina (run down with an SUV by Islamist)
- Journalists like Daniel Pearl (savagely decapitated by Islamists)
- Nick Berg, Kim Sung-il, Piotr Stanczyk, Jack Hensley, Eugene Armstrong, Paul Johnson (savagely decapitated by Islamists)
- Jewish centers in Seattle (slaughtered by Islamic Jihadist)
- Jewish centers in Toronto (slaughtered by Islamic Jihadist)
- Infidel Delta Airlines passengers (underwear bomber)
- Times Square pedestrians (SUV bomber)
- Soccer fans in Uganda (Blown up while watching the world cup)
- Christian doctors in Afghanistan (savagely slaughtered by the Taliban)
And on, and on, and on………
It is Islam against everyone, everything, everywhere that is not Islamic.
It is Dar al-Islam against Dar al-Harb. Islam against us, not us against them.
Let’s wake up, face the facts and call it what it is. It is not a ‘War on Terror’ against a few ragtag misunderstanders of Islam. It is nothing less than:
THE ISLAMIC WORLD WAR.
THE ISLAMIC WORLD WAR – Muhammed’s legacy…it’s real.
