FEDERAL JUDGE FINDS IRAN

GUILTY OF 9/11 ATTACKS

Dec. 16, 2011: A federal judge in Manhattan ruled yesterday that Iran "shared responsibility" for the 9/11 attacks by providing "material support" - including military training, travel facilities, money, planning, logistics, and safe haven after the attacks. This historic ruling has not yet begun to make the waves that will come.... Here's the news story from the Daily Caller. More links to background stories are here.  The first to comment (other that CNN's resident idiot, Peter Bergen) were the Iranian regime and Russia Today (RT) television, both of whom dismissed the claims as a U.S. "plot."

Dec. 5, 2011: A Dubious Death in Dubai.
The U.S. State Department and the Dubai police have ignored every shred of evidence pointing to foul play in the death of Ahmad Rezai, son of former Rev. Guards commander Maj. Gen. Mohsen Rezai. Here are preliminary conclusions from my own investigation on the ground.

Nov. 16, 2011: Iran's Thugocracy Attacks Again.

I was skeptical at first, especially when Eric Holder fronted for the USG investigation into the Iranian terror plot and cut off questions from reporters as soon as he was asked about Fast and Furious. But read the four reasons why the evidence convinced me it was real.This is my debut article at Tucker Carlson's news conservative website, Daily Caller,

Oct. 12, 2011: Woefully Unprepared for an EMP attack.
I report this week on a series of table-top exercises to simulate a major geomagnetic solar event or nuclear EMP attack and our ability to respond to the ensuing shut down of the national power grid.... The answers are in: “Keep some money in the sock draw,” said the head of Maryland’s Emergency Management Agency...

Here is the real tragedy: the answers to our vulnerability to EMP are cheap, easy, and quick to implement – but folks like NDU's  Dr. Alenka Brown and some in the power industry don’t want Congress to act.

You don’t hear me often talking about specific legislation, but here is an exception: Please call your members of Congress to get them behind H.R. 668, the SHIELD Act.

Oct. 5, 2011: Join me at the National Cryptologic Museum Foundation
annual meeting, where I will be discussing U.S. policy toward Iran with Amb. Bruce Laingen.

Oct. 4, 2011:An EMP Attack on America?
The threat of an EMP attack on America – or a major geomagnetic event such as a solar flare – would have a devastating impact on our country. Some analysts have invented a new acronym to describe it: TEOTWAWKI – The End of the World As We Know It.  In today’s Frontpage magazine, I describe Iran’s work to develop an EMP weapon, and a series of table-top wargaming exercises being held this week in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Florida.e

Sept. 27, 2011: Grover Norquist's New Muslim Protegé.
What’s wrong with Muslims running for public office or assuming prominent positions in the conservative movement? Nothing at all – as long as they are clear about the primacy of the U.S. Constitution over Koranic (or Sharia) law. Where does Imad Afif “David” Ramadan stand on this crucial question? The answer is – well, unclear.

Sept. 23, 2011:

July 28, 2011: Iran, Turkey Escalate Battle Against Iranian Kurds.
Iran called on NATO member Turkey on Tuesday to help battle dissident Kurds in the rugged mountains along the northern border between Iran and Iraq. You would think this would upset Turkey's NATO allies - but you'd be wrong.

July 19, 2011:Iran Attacks Kurdish Bases in Iraq.
Iran’s invasion of Iraq over the weekend has gotten very little media coverage, but it is important – and curious. Curious because the US, Iraq, and the KRG have remained almost silent. Does that mean they are complicit? Or just impotent? As my story reports, Iran has been putting intense pressure on the KRG to crack down on the PJAK camps  along the border for some time. Both the KRG and the Iraqi Prime Minister left Iraq just hours before the invasion began.... (PDF)

REPORTING FROM NORTHERN IRAQ:

March 2, 2011: Iraqi Christians to Congress: Please Help!
The near extermination of Iraqi Christians has been an unintended consequence of the U.S.-led liberation of Iraq in 2003. There is still time - but not much - to make it right. The creation of an autonomous province in the Nineveh Plain, free of Kurdish domination, is the last best hope for preventing the mass exodus of the remaining Christians from Iraq, Ken argues in today's Washington Times.

March 1, 2011: Were Iraqi Security Forces Involved in Baghdad Church Massacre?
My investigation in northern Iraq has discovered troubling new information suggesting dangerous liaisons between al-Malaki's Interior ministry and the terrorists who murdered 58 worshippers at Our Lady of Salvation Syrian Catholic Church in Baghdad on Oct. 31.Please forward this story to your member of Congress!

Jan. 24, 2011: Expert: Iran could follow Tunisia's fall.
An author and terrorism expert says the sudden overthrow of the Tunisian government has not gone unnoticed in Tehran, where the brutal Islamic regime remains unpopular with the Iranian people....

Jan. 11, 2011: Biden Faces Challenge in Pakistan (Ken Timmerman, Newsmax.com):

....The radicalization of Pakistan became clear on Jan. 4, when a bodyguard protecting Punjab state Gov. Salman Taseer opened fire on his boss, shooting him 20 times in the back as other members of the security detail looked on.

Since the murder, the bodyguard has become something of a national hero, telling the press that he assassinated Taseer because he had campaigned against Pakistan’s anti-blasphemy law, which condemns to death anyone who leaves Islam to adopt another religion.

“The anti-blasphemy law is the main cause of violence against Christians,” says Dr. Nazir Bhatti, a Pakistani Christian activist in the United States.

In a tragic irony, Punjab's Christian population, which today labors under daily persecution, helped sway the predominantly Sikh state to join Pakistan when British India declared independence, thinking they would enjoy greater freedom under Muslim rule, says Pakistani activist Nazir Bhatti.

Jan. 7, 2011:
Another day of fear and persecution - Christmas Day is not celebrated until Jan. 7 in Egypt by Coptic and other Christian denominations. About 130 Christians, including children, will probably remain imprisoned Jan. 7, nearly two months after they were arrested when 2,000 members of the state security forces attacked their church building. Several people were killed during that attack in which police chanted Islamic war cries and tried to tear down the three-story building that was under reconstruction. The object of the attack was to prevent the building from being used for Christmas services. Read more....

On Oct. 31, 2010 in an event similar to several related in St. Peter's Bones, armed jihadis stormed Our Lady of Salvation Catholic Church in Baghdad during Sunday services, murdering 58 people and wounding 78 more. Read more....

"Kenneth Timmerman has wrought a wildly inventive and highly gripping thriller that encompasses the secret and long-hidden origins of Islam… That makes St. Peter's Bones more than just a great novel, although it is assuredly that as well: it is also an enlightening insight into today's increasingly conflict-ridden relationship between Islam and the Judeo-Christian/post-Christian West."
– Robert Spencer, editor of JihadWatch and author of the New York Times bestsellers The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) and The Truth About Muhammad.
“Timmerman's  taboo-breaking thriller portrays authentically the politics and passions fueling the deadly persecution of Iraq's ancient Christian community: an unintended but ruinous by-product of Operation Iraqi Freedom. It's a powerful book America's political leadership on both the left and the right would prefer you not to read."
– Dr. John Eibner, CEO, Christian Solidarity International (CSI-USA)
