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.
I hope, when you go home from your mini-vacation that you are rested. You should probably do this twice a year, just because!
I just had a “lunch,” and will sit and crochet for a bit, since I’m working on another scarf. Therapy. I need for my BP to stay low. Some days, the stress is off the charts. So. Have a good nap!
Twice a year is my goal. Nap achieved. Now I’m listening to the “Wicked” soundtrack.
Well, I’m off for now. My brain wants to rest, and I’m disappointed in the TV fare, which is actually the same programs I’ve been watching since winter, I think. The current one seems to be a much older one than I’ve been watching, so I’m not familiar with the characters. My bad.
And I’m not getting any younger by sitting here. Maybe sleep will delay the aging thing until tomorrow.
Relaxing is the best thing to do, so do it!
Ta!
I hope you have a good night and wake up younger tomorrow.
I have another one that turns 7 in October... So... Yeah..
The 11 year old boy just got back from 6 days/5 nights on a Boy Scout trip. Had to run his dirty clothing through the wash TWICE to get the dirt out.
I’m glad he had fun...
My Mom is my Mom... She has her good points, and her bad points. An endless gossip, she tends to make mountains out of mole hills...
I’ll never return to FB... F*ck be upon Suckerburg and all he has built and insisted on destroying...
Rest well, brain of the Mighty Face of Monkeys...
Wow, 11 already. Vlad is 12 and 2” taller than I am, tbe rotter. I get even by squeezing his pimples with my fingernails.
A trick for cqmp (or Jamaican mission trip) clothes is The Salvation Army on half price day. You can throw the stuff away if it’s too gross.
HAIL, FRiends!
Behold, I bring you good tidings of great freedom. For unto you appears this day in the domain of JimRob The Liberator, which may be unto all 3D-printing people. And this shall be for a sign unto you: you shall find The Liberator at The Link, compressed into a ZIP file, and lying on a simple webpage.
Yea, with SO much furor raging out in the wild and woolly interwebs, I have brought The Link to park it here in the vast uncharted Undead Thread for safekeeping. For the Left has heard news of The Link, and has determined to destroy it from the Earth.
https://freespeechfirearms.us/
AS of this posting, The Link goes to a simple page hosting an assortment of files that you will want to give to all of your 3D-printing and machinist friends.
Enjoy it in the very best of liberty, that it may bring justice for all.
Like waking up on Christmas morning to find all the presents under the tree!
Thank you Santa!
Oh. My. Gosh!
Fascinating.
Good morning. Very sunny already, lots of birds, a couple of squirrels.
It was a good morning.
There was a dust storm followed very quickly by a thunderstorm with lots of thunders for a very long time, but not much rain. But it kept me awake for three hours.
The air is cool now (78°) but no wind.
Last night, I heard a “shot” and the motion detector was activated. I got out of bed to see if I had to call 911 and the rain was falling on one of the recent acquisitioned bookcases. The wind had created a vortex in my patio again and blew the bookcase over, activating the motion sensor as it went!
I should probably have had another breathing treatment at that point but decided to wait until this morning.
WOW!
Scary! There’s a lot of entropy out there!
Wait a minute! I haven’t packed the extra shower curtains and the topic!
