Businessman charged by feds with aiding Iran nuclear program

From AP, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. -- An Iranian-born businessman illegally smuggled equipment to support the Iranian nuclear missile program, federal prosecutors said Tuesday.

Mohammad Farahbakhsh, 43, an Iranian-born U.S. citizen living in Los Angeles, was arraigned in U.S. District Court Tuesday on charges that he sent pressure sensors and other equipment from Stamford to the United Arab Emirates, where they were to be shipped to Iran.

His four-page indictment does not mention the nuclear program, but federal agents recently raided Farahbakhshs homes in Los Angeles and in Cambridge, Iowa, where they discovered computer files showing deliveries to a company involved in Iran's nuclear missile program, prosecutors said.

The company, the Shahid Hemmat Industrial Group, has twice been hit with U.S. sanctions for its role in developing missile technology.

Chuck,

That is a great little piece. It would be 100 times better if the names and birthplaces were also included in the real answers.

I know Sirhan Sirhan killed Bobby on June 5h, 1968 and that he was born in Jerusalem, Palestine (now Israel) on March 19, 1944. That's the only one I've had time to look up so far this morning.

Great quiz, Chuck. More people ought to take this quiz. I'd am sharing it with those I know.

Strap the guy to a bunker buster, once we have the coordinates for the 'secret' Iranian nuclear program's underground facilities, and give him a one-way ticket to Paradise.

In wartime, this is treason.

Time to take off the p.c. gloves and start frying these weasels.

P.S. Chuck-

One minor quibble with your admirable quiz.

Sirhan Sirhan, who was one of the assassins who shot Robert Kennedy (another implicated was a Mafia-connected security guard standing BEHIND RFK- who was shot at close range from BEHIND, fatally, while Sirhan was IN FRONT of Kennedy that fateful night in LA) came from an Arab Christian family out of 1950's 'Palestine'. Although, at the time of the assassination, he was reading Theosophical works and had become a de facto Arab nationalist (AKA Muslim tool).

It is obvious that was a 'useful idiot' working for the Muslim extremist cause, whether or not he believed in any 'faith' by that point, or not. He claimed to have shot RFK- on the anniversay of the 1967 Six Day War in Israel- for his support of the 'Zionists'. So, either as a budding Theosophist or lapsed Christian, he did the bidding of the nascent Islamic jihad.

By he action, the course of American history was changed, Viet Nam's slaughter was prolonged, and the U.S. had a decade of shamfeul corrupt government to undergo, having a president thrown out of office, our military running out of Saigon like rats from a sinking ship, and the cities of American burning with racial conflict, with no voice to speak reasonably or convincingly against
the extremists at home and abroad.

A traitor to his adopted country and to broader humanity, Sirhan is still appealing his conviction, claiming to have been hypnotized, among other excuses, and even having the gall to say that surely the humane RFK would have wanted him to have been granted parole by now. (As comic Mort Sahl remarked: "Too bad he shot his best character witness.")

Is that it, Catherine?

Posted by: Mike [TypeKey Profile Page] at January 13, 2005 1:27 PM

Profitsbeard:

Unfortunately, despite all the persecution they have faced at the hands of the Muslims, most "Arab" Christians are very deeply steeped in animosity towards Jews and Israel.

This phenom is probably traceable to anti-Jewish religious teachings that long preceeded the arrival of Zionists from eastern Europe in the late 19th century. (I put quote marks around "Arab" as in truth, most of the Christians from the region are not ethnic Arabs.)

Reichstagsakten 1888/89, 7. Lp., Vol. 121, Attachment 41: Collection of Documents pertaining the Uprising in East Africa, No. 27: Directive to the Imperial ambassador in London
Friedrichsruh, October 21st 1888

The movement of the Muslim Arabs, supported by slave traders, which first found its expression in the Mahdi revolt in the Egyptian Sudan, has since expanded and had also resulted in collisions with European enterprises at other points of the African continent. The raid on an Italian expedition in 1886 by the Emir of Harar, the threat to stations on the eastern border of the Congo Free State by Arabs, the treatment of Stanley and his companions by Tippu Tip, the attacks on English mission stations in Uganda and on trade settlements on Lake Nyassa, the rebellion in coastal stretches of the Sultanate of Zanzibar which are under British and German administration - all these events give the impression that they are connected with each other, a connection which provides evidence for a slowly increasing, but freely forming movement among the Muslim population in the direction of a reaction against Christian and civilisatoric efforts, namely in the area of slave trade. All nations interested in the promotion of Christian morale share an equal interest in counteracting the dangers posed by such a movement.
The rising importance and expansion the Muslim agitation has gained over the last years in Africa, goes hand in hand with a rising export of powder and arms from Europe to equatorial Africa.
Ample equipment with arms and ammunition facilitates the slave trader's raids and the Arabs' attempts to keep the European opponents of slave trade from penetrating further and to repel them from their present positions.
Therefore it seems to us a common obligation of the European nations engaged in the peaceful opening-up of Africa to obstruct both the slave trade and the arms trade with greater emphasis, than it has been done so far. Such an aim seems only feasible by a blockade of the entire East African coast, which is strong and firm enough to obstruct the export of slaves and the import of arms more effectively as before. If the Royal British government does approve such a measure, we are prepared to enter negotiations with all other concerned powers in order to obtain their approval. I would regard it especially appropriate to obtain France's accord in regard to reject Arab slave trader dhows the right to sail under the French flag.
I ask Your Excellency most humbly to communicate with Lord Salisbury according to the beforementioned comments and to report his answer.

Great quiz, Chuck.

I took it and got all but one right.
Question # 4, I guessed, >c. Geraldo Rivera, while he was still looking for Al Capone’s vault. 12 of 13 isn’t bad.


We cant stereotype now, can we? Yes, we can!
