Among Sen. John Kerry's top fund-raisers are three Iranian-Americans who have been pushing for dramatic changes in U.S. policy toward the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Most prominent among them is Hassan Nemazee, 54, an investment banker based in New York. Nominated to become U.S. ambassador to Argentina by President Bill Clinton in 1999, Nemazee eventually withdrew his nomination after a former partner raised allegations of business improprieties.
Nemazee was a major Clinton donor, giving $80,000 to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) during the 1996 election cycle and attending at least one of the famous White House fund-raising coffees.

Kenneth Timmerman did a great expose of Robert "The Torch" Toricelli's connections to a group called Mujahideen e-Khalq-otherwise known as the National Council of Resistance-for The American Spectator, back in the late 90s.
Even though they've turned out to be a valuable asset in the intelligence/reconnaisance component of our War on Terror-at least in terms of identifying surreptitious Iranian nuclear facilities-they were still on the State Department's list of known international terrorist organizations at the time.
Kerry is swimming in illicit cash. There's no doubt about that.
He makes Bill Clinton look like a piker in this respect.
Kerry sold his soul years ago. Now he wants to sell ours.
"Nemazee, a close friend of Al Gore, is a wealthy and controversial Iranian-American businessman who was nominated by President Clinton to be a U.S. Ambassador to Argentina. His nomination was rejected by the U.S. Senate, following the publication of some very troubling news on his financial activities in the famous and credible "Forbes Magazine." (see copy of this article at: http://www.daneshjoo.org/interestingarticles/article/publish/article_3046.shtml )
Exposed, Nemazee joined the self proclaimed "American-Iranian Council" (AIC) headed by the notorious Hooshang AmirAhmadi who's a well known lobbyist for the Iranian Mulllahcracy. Within the majority of the Iranians and Iranian-Americans, AmirAhmadi is held in very low esteem for supporting the Islamic republic regime.
Joining the American-Iranian Council, Nemazee helped this group and its members by opening doors to the highest levels of the U.S. Democratic Party. His main mission was to promote this group, AIC, and to push for the establishment of diplomatic ties between the U.S. and the Islamic Republic regime. Using his contacts with Senator Jospeh Biden (D-DE), an influential member of the U.S. Senate's Foreign Affairs Committee, a controversial fundraising event at the IMAN Islamist Center of Los Angles was held, in 2002, and attended by Senator Biden where a substantial amount of money was collected. The IMAN's head, Sadegh Namazikhah, is also a board member of the AIC, and he is pushing for the cancellation of sanctions against the Mullahs' regime."

He sure is, and most of it he married into.
Yes. And to think, I only had to promise him a rich widow. MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Very amusing, if I do say so myself.
And I do!
And some medals.
Almost forgot about those.
-good times, G.J.P. (Jr.)

Nuclear Bombshell: The Truth that John Kerry Knows
SNIP: The bank’s collapse in 1991 kicked up a lot of political dust: So much so, the bank’s illegal penetration of the US banking system, through a benami take-over of the First American Bank, became the subject matter of Senate Foreign Relations sub-committee enquiry chaired, most interestingly, by senator John Kerry — the present Democratic contender for the US presidency.
What did the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Know About Intelligence? And When, Senator Kerry?

The BCCI Affair
Post 4:
Well freepers, look into this and see how many hands are already in the cookie jar. Until we clean up Mena and BCCI, more will continue.NEVER SURRENDER.
A great one to question right off the bat is Senator John Kerry(Mass) who married into the Heinz fortune. His timing the burial of this thing, after Bush was beaten and before Clinton came in, meshed perfectly with Clinton's firing of all the US Attorneys.
Post32: bttt-Follow the money--China, ExIm Bank, Heinz, Kerry, BCCI
There is a Persian story about when the people wanted to overthrow the king, he showed them the vault he had filled with riches since the beginning of his kingdom and made the point he will be taking it with him when he leaves. The new king he said would have to pay the generals and favor the backers for years before he begins to fill his vault from scratch.
Kerry, has been associated with extremely violent left wing groups in his past. And of course your statement is correct. But it also doesn't mean that the person wasn't a Muslim. But it is interesting to follow the rabbit to see how the deep the hole goes.
ALSO, what about John Kerry Caused a Fracture in VVAW For his own Selfish Goals ( FBI FILES REVEAL )
And in an FBI document dated November 12, 1971 the following excerpt is found concerning John Kerry’s speech in Norman Oklahoma at the University of Oklahoma on during a convention by VVAW, from November 5, 6, & 7, 1971.
There is one other interesting note in this FBI document that bears looking into: “The audience for a speech by John Kerry was quite large. A workshop held after KERRY’s speech was attended by quite a few people including one student from Iran,
This last part I find interesting for a couple of reasons: 1. Who was this student from Iran, and why was he speaking to this group? 2. What organization(s) did this student from Iran represent at this convention? 3. Was this student from Iran a foreign agent, or a member of a terrorist group?
