Iranian general who vowed to ‘see dead bodies of Americans all over the Middle East’ possibly killed in Israeli airstrike

An Iranian general who promised to “see the dead bodies of Americans all over the Middle East” is missing after an Israeli attack in Lebanon that may have also killed the presumed new Hezbollah chief.

The whereabouts of Brig. Gen. Esmail Qaani, the head of Iran’s elite Quds Force, remains a mystery after Friday’s airstrike in Beirut, the New York Times reported. Some Arab and Israeli outlets say he is dead, while others report him as wounded.

Lebanese security forces also have lost contact with Hashem Safieddine, a top local Hezbollah official and the presumed successor to the terror group’s recently slain leader, Hassan Nasrallah.

Qaani was last seen in Beirut, where he was sent to help the terror group recover and re-group after a series of attacks by Israel, according to unnamed members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps to the Times.

He has not been seen publicly since Friday’s attack, and he was notably absent from a memorial service for Nasrallah, Iranian media said. By Saturday, some Israeli and Arab outlets were reporting that he had been wounded or killed, but top Iranian brass have remained tight-lipped on the matter.

An Iranian soldier told the Times that confusion about Qaani’s fate is causing panic among the troops.

Iran’s Quds Force provides support for the anti-Israel “axis of resistance,” which consists of regional terror organizations including the Palestinian Hamas in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

"Iran’s elite Quds Force"

I read that a lot, is that the official tile of the group? Because our Drive by Media sure likes to include that in their title. Much to their chagrin I'm sure even our DEI Armed Forces would drive through them like a hot knife through butter like Saddam's "vaunted" Republican guard

Why don’t they all go sailing or fishing or visit with relatives. Why the 24/7 obsession with murder.

Serial killers are rare. But there they are all the members of your family and your friends.

They run no other program. They’re primitive miswired high functioning human sized cancer cells incompatible with humanity.

Who gave the pallets of cash and unfroze their assets. Who left 80 billion in equipment behind in Afghanistan? Basically, who is plotting Americas demise?

Elites out of touch?

Study shows the influential 1% hold different views from average Americans!

When it comes to elitists in America, a recent study has shown that they are wildly out of touch with the average, everyday American people on a lot of issues such as freedom and the economy.

A project was recently conducted by prominent pollster Scott Rasmussen titled “Elite 1 Percent” goes into detail about who the one percent are and what their views are regarding American policies.

According to the project, the elite one percent live in densely populated urban areas, make over $150K a year and have a postgraduate degree.

“Too much freedom”

“The views and influence of the Elite 1% may be the root cause of the political toxicity in our nation today,” Rasmussen wrote on the social media platform, X. “Their underlying attitudes reflect an implicit rejection of the ideal that governments derive their only just authority from the consent of the governed.” Some of the basics that Rasmussen observed is that the “elites” identify as Democrats, by 73%, more than half of them being between the ages of 35 and 54.

‘Rasmussen found in his study that 47% of the elite one percent think that Americans have “too much freedom.”

“The Elite 1% wield a tremendous amount of institutional power but are wildly out of touch with the nation they want to rule,” he said.

“Over the years they have built institutions and mechanisms of regulatory power that are immune to the checks and balances of elections. Worse still, these same elites own, operate, and control a large majority of media outlets, blocking out the true voice of the American people and broadcasting their own out of touch viewpoints,” he continued.

Another difference between everyday Americans and the elite one percent is that 70% of the elite trust the government to make the right decisions.

Trust in government
In April of 2024, a study came out that said only about 22% of Americans trust the federal government.

“Trust in government began eroding during the 1960s, amid the escalation of the Vietnam War, and the decline continued in the 1970s with the Watergate scandal and worsening economic struggles,” the Pew Research Center said in the report. “As of April 2024, 22% of Americans say they trust the government in Washington to do what is right “just about always” (2%) or “most of the time (21%) that report said.

Rasmussen posits that many of the elites are unaware of the thought gap between them and everyday American people.

This guy was Gen Soleimani’s deputy when Trump had Soleimani killed, and was selected by Ayatollah Khamenei to replace him as head of Quds Force. Now he is reunited with his old buddy in hell.

Some Arab and Israeli outlets say he is dead, while others report him as wounded.

I don't care, go through his pockets for loose change anyway.
