Adviser to Khamenei says aid collectors for Palestinians sought to deploy reptiles whose skin 'attracted atomic waves'
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The former chief-of-staff of Iran’s armed forces said Tuesday that Western spies had used lizards to “attract atomic waves” and spy on his country’s nuclear program.
It was the latest in a long line of incidents of Western countries, including Israel, being accused of deploying secret agents from the animal kingdom.
Hassan Firuzabadi, senior military adviser to supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was responding to questions from local media on the recent arrest of environmentalists.
He said he did not know the details of the cases, but that the West had often used tourists, scientists and environmentalists to spy on Iran.
“Several years ago, some individuals came to Iran to collect aid for Palestine… We were suspicious of the route they chose,” he told the reformist ILNA news agency.
“In their possessions were a variety of reptile desert species like lizards, chameleons… We found out that their skin attracts atomic waves and that they were nuclear spies who wanted to find out where inside the Islamic Republic of Iran we have uranium mines and where we are engaged in atomic activities,” he said.
Firuzabadi said Western spy agencies had “failed every time.”
His comments came after news that a leading Iranian-Canadian environmentalist, Kavous Seyed Emami, had committed suicide in prison after he was arrested along with other members of his wildlife NGO last month.
Several spying allegations involving various creatures have been leveled against Israel over the past years.
In January 2016, Lebanese residents captured a griffon vulture wearing an Israeli tracking device, but released it upon realizing that the transmitter strapped to the bird was intended for scientific research rather than espionage.
Several months earlier, Hamas claimed to have caught a dolphin wearing Israeli spying equipment.
Twice in recent years, Turkish media has highlighted allegations that birds tagged with Israeli university tracking devices were on espionage missions.
In 2012, an eagle with an Israeli tag in Sudan was captured and alleged to be as a Mossad spy.
Two years earlier, an Egyptian official said Israel-controlled sharks may have been involved in a number of attacks on tourists in the Red Sea.
Oh. My. Goodness! So many magickal kittehs! Thank you!
I will go this morning to Walgreen’s and get the prescription that was ready within an hour after I dropped it off, but I was too beat up to go get.
Then I’ll hang around for an hour and go to the office for the Un-Lease.
My neighbors have taken to smoking in the kitchen with the vent on. I still smell it. CFIDS/ME is wicked that way.
I’ll edit the letter and take it with me when I go this morning, as well as the one about Berta. The carrier told me yesterday that this was not the first time that Berta had gotten behind the mail bank. She is forever getting into people’s space, and that makes them back away. The carrier can’t.
Interfering with the U.S. Mail is a Federal crime.
I was going to go through the stuff I picked up at the meeting last night so I could tell Gloria what all we have, but I was derailed by the mess. I’ll get to it after the gym but before I leave on my semi-vacation.
It would be really nice to have a weekend entirely off, but life goes as it does.
Exactly. Which is why this woman needs to be stopped, somehow.
Usually when I have a mess, I get overwhelmed before I realize that its only a mess and all I need to do is remove one thing from it and then its not quite such a BIG mess!
(I learned that in therapy! The three years I was in Del Rio were spent with me in therapy twice a week trying to adjust to the changes that CFIDS/ME made to me. There are still days when the anger surfaces.)
All I want is a day off. Just a day. No phone, no neighbors, no cigarette smoke, no TV. Just a day.
Frappy Yiday, h'all!
Thank you! AFAIK, the only snakes we have around here are red rat snakes, cottonmouths, copperheads, rattlers, chicken snakes and kings. H.ave bkmkd recipe for future reference.
We had one dog that enjoyed being vacuumed with the upholstery attachment.
It is a long link, but it works. Fascinating little device.
I speak python. My code never got as long as a snake, though.
I’d enjoy meeting an actual python as long as it isn’t big enough to eat an alligator.
Friday it is. Celebrate I will. Hieday Frappy I wish to all.
Maybe there's room for compromise. Maybe they can inhale in the kitchen, then go 25' from the building to exhale. You could ask them.
Investigated by the FBI and the DOJ.
So, basically, nothing will happen unless it will hurt Trump.
I met a python big enough to eat an alligator.
It didn’t work for me, but then, I’m not surprised. :o|
The outside air is so filled with cigarette smoke from those who do comply that I now have to wear a mask out there all the time, not just when the wind is blowing smoke and dust around.
I’ve started parking across from the drug dealer’s place because he has a Chrysler Sebring as well as his Corvette, and has a spotlight on them all night, every night, and at least three videocams. I figure if I park there (only two spots, both for the handicapped,) it may lessen the chance of anything happening to the truck.
In the letter I just dropped off at the office, I told the manager there was a real possibility of retaliation from the guy next door or some of his “friends.”
Jeez.
I need to go to Walmart now that I’ve finished some emails for Cub Scouts. Then I’ll leave on vacation to Mint Hill.
There will be no Morning Kitteh from me on Saturday, and Sunday’s will be delayed until mid-afternoon.
Have fun! Or, better yet, relax a lot! <3
