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.
You will never find yourself so busy as when folks find out you have nothing to do.
Is that similar to the old saw that says the best way to sort out your family tree is to win the lottery?
Congratulations and best wishes! I remember the beginning of the journey with our last Perfect Pink Baby....
Actually, Mr. Sg offered to get me another laptop which would enable me to practice on this one without losing commo capability! I think I’ll take him up on it! Also, thank you very much for your consideration. Nice, smart people are my faves, and very much valued in today’s society.
Also, lol!
Short people are frequently misunderestimated.
You, also, are a kind and smart person. :)
My better half found out first and the rest I could put on a resume
Thank you ... Smiles and hugh HUG
That’s def. true of my daughter. I’m 6’ 2”. She’s closer to 5’ 5”. But she’s a bundle of smarts and energy.
However, I was referring to the visit being short. My bad for not being more clear.
I almost missed your palindromic post.
I never got to buy lots of little pink outfits because my little pink baby was eight years old when she entered my life.
Looking back, there were times when I thought, “What was I THINKING???” However, now that she has gone off on her Great Adventure, she writes to me (yes, real, hand-written letters!) and tells me in so many words that she was a real doo-doo head, and thanks me for hanging in there. I’m grateful that I didn’t have to die before she came to that conclusion. :o]
Life is good!
Can she talk to two of my kids?
Only if they’ve been adopted. Otherwise, I don’t think she would be able to relate to them because I was the “wicked step-mother,” and she “didn’t have to do what I said because I wasn’t her ‘real’ mother.” (Her real mother passed away when my daughter was five.)
Lots of things at work there, but they’re not worth relating.
Two of ours just have wicked parents. We wouldn’t do everything their little hearts demanded of us.
Yeah, there was some of that at work too, but suffice it to say, I’m glad Igor is no longer among the living. However, if I hadn’t married him, I would not have my daughter.
So regardless of the BS that I had to endure for so many years (from both her dad and her [he was her tutor in hatred]) I’m glad that I have her. My early life enabled me to understand her in ways I don’t think she will ever realize.
And I’m sorry you have to endure that dynamic. It’s nasty any way you look at it.
A thermosampling device located in a different location is indicating 95°.
There is obviously more glowbull warming above the back door..
And accompanying the heat we have thunderous storms on the horizon. The notnecessarilyAccu(rate)Weather app on my smortphome says the light and water show starts in 6 minutes. The radar display tends to support that claim.
Did you leave the porch light on?
You were perfectly clear. I was being silly.
I have survived another night at work.
