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.
And off we go. I’ll be gone until late!
Well, now that it's tomorrow and I'm looking at it, I am uncertain. But don't tell Scarlet.
Ny liks r seeld.
When I got here I was given 2 workstreams to manage as Project Manager. They both have to do with Special Education and, apparently, the Special Education Office is a "special" customer. When they build software their way this is what you get.
My first task was to get Scott, our "Chief Product Officer" and Eric, our BA, to get the requirements elicitation moving again. So I did that. Wednesday our customer was asking me why they had to keep reviewing requirements that our department has known for a long time. Scott agreed it was foolish (the quick little toss under the bus I referred to). Scott told me today he had never agreed to the idea of getting the requirements elicitation moving again. But he never told me that while he was helping me get them moving again.
If this keeps going the way it's going, bus tire tracks are going to be the least of my worries.
Oh, no, ArGee…
THAT is just criminal (and may be in more than one sense of the word.) I hope this “toss under the bus” isn’t permanent. This is just a nasty situation, and I’m so sorry you have to deal with it.
It’s a shame that they weren’t honest enough to tell you up front what you would be dealing with. :o[
Who you lookin' at?
Floofy squee! Luv me somadat!
Good morning. Will this last day of camp be short? Did you ever get your music sorted?
I’ve checked so many things lately my head is swimming.
Or, “Do you mean to tell me....”
Hi. I worked in a snakepit for 21 years. Just out of curiosity, are you developing the method for remediating the issues or did someone else present that first task to you? P.S. Feel free to ignore me. :)
Good morning. Last day of camp is a full schedule; it will be 5-ish before we get home. I’ll get the music sorted tonight, really. Or at 5:00 tomorrow morning ...
Last night, we all went to bed as soon as the laundry went in the dryer.
I know how that works! That's me when I get home from staying with people for a few days. It wears me out to make my body behave for the duration, though it's not as bad as it was 10 years ago.
I've also noticed that some of the depression has gone, and I don't know how much of that is from the easing of the constant pain in my back, or if its because I'm no longer a "prisoner," or if I have found the right combination of supplements
It could be all of the above, but whatever it is, it's good to want my house to be clean again. That's almost like the 17-year old bride of a sailor from many years ago. I like it.
I’m glad you’re feeling better about yourself and your environment. You’ll want to have some spark when you reach your new home.
That's a given with me. New environment, new attitude of learning. I've moved over 100 times, and its obviously not over with yet!
YES!!! I GOIT THE 3s!!! YAY ME!
Well, I found out from a previous coworker of his that he’s just a used care salesman type. That is, he’s not malicious, just thoughtless about the broader implications of whatever he’s saying at the moment to keep a customer happy.
I’m not sure anyone here knows him well enough to have warned me.
Someone gave me the first task. The guy who did the tossing supported me in it, then said he never supported the idea.
So, we’re talking someone focused on looking good in the moment, and NOT a team player.
If everyone comes home too pooped to peep it is a good camp.
The parents of the other kids would call it excellent.
Well played.
Any time I get 333 in a row, I “celebrate.” It was my employee number at Signetics Corp back in the day, and one of my co-workers there asked me to go to the VFW Club with her. My Associate Member number was 333. So I like it when I get three in a row. :o])
It sounds like the guy is a few nails short of having a solid shoe. All you can do is get verification from someone else and ignore this guy the best you can.
What a burn.
