Prosecutor who accused Argentine President of whitewashing Iranian role in Jewish center bombing shot dead hours before testimony

Jan 19, 2015 12:06 pm By Robert Spencer

“Nisman had been due to appear in front of lawmakers on Monday afternoon to explain his accusations, which said that President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner tried to whitewash Iran’s involvement in the 1994 terror attack against the headquarters of the Jewish umbrella bodies AMIA and DAIA in Buenos Aires, in which 85 people were killed and hundreds wounded. Over the past years, the prosecutor had presented detailed evidence against several Iranian officials, including then-President Rafsandjani, and accused Tehran of masterminding the bombing.” So is the murder of Alberto Nisman a matter of Cristina Fernandez covering for herself, or of the mullahs covering for themselves, or both? There is a lot of evidence that the mullahs have squads intimidating and menacing Iranian emigres in the West. This could be their work. Or it could just be South American politics. In this case, they have shared interests.

“Prosecutor who accused Argentine President Fernández of whitewashing Iranian involvement in AMIA bombing found dead,” World Jewish Congress, January 19, 2015 (thanks to Elderly Zionist):

Alberto Nisman, the Argentine prosecutor who last week accused President Cristina Fernandez of trying to whitewash Argentina’s worst ever bombing, was found dead in his apartment on Monday morning.

Nisman, the state prosecutor investigating the 1994 blast at a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people, said last Wednesday that Fernandez had opened a secret back channel to a group of Iranians suspected of planting the bomb. He had said the scheme intended to clear the suspects so Argentina could start swapping grains for much-needed oil from Iran.

Argentine news media reported that Nisman was found shot dead in his bathtub in his flat in the luxurious Buenos Aires district of Puerto Madero. A police official said a weapon had been found, and the cause of the death was still being investigated, but first signs were pointing towards a suicide.

Nisman had been due to appear in front of lawmakers on Monday afternoon to explain his accusations, which said that President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner tried to whitewash Iran’s involvement in the 1994 terror attack against the headquarters of the Jewish umbrella bodies AMIA and DAIA in Buenos Aires, in which 85 people were killed and hundreds wounded.

Over the past years, the prosecutor had presented detailed evidence against several Iranian officials, including then-President Rafsandjani, and accused Tehran of masterminding the bombing.

In 2013, Fernández and her Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman negotiated a memorandum of understanding with Tehran to set up a “truth commission” with Iran to jointly investigate the bombing. She said at the time that the pact would reactivate the probe, but Israel and Jewish groups said it threatened to derail criminal prosecution of the case. The truth commission pact was later struck down by an Argentine court.

Nisman had said the truth commission was intended to help get Interpol ‘red notices’ for the arrest of the accused Iranians dropped as a step toward normalizing bilateral trade relations.

    “There is a lot of evidence that the mullahs have squads intimidating and menacing Iranian emigres in the West.”

    Of course there is. This is why I keep saying that Muslims live in a huge prison, they live in fear…even in the West.
    They fear they fellow Muslims and they fear their own families.
    FEAR is the only thing that keeps Islam alive and well, but not for too long; the world is changing and the sword of Islam is getting shorter by the day. The anonymousness of the internet has become Islam’s worst enemy.
    Without Fear, Islam is DEAD.

      The sword is not getting shorter by the day. Fear is woven into Islam with the death penalty for even the most minor “infringement.” You can’t do away with that element by hoping it will disappear. Western countries should not be spending endless amounts of cash trying to shield “good Muslims” from their own savages and non-Muslims from Muslim savages. We gave them refugee status and now they are turning western countries into Islamic shitholes which resemble their homelands. People being aware that Islam is the problem won’t magically cause Muslim to stop acting this way. They will continue killing and raping, despite its exposure. Human nature doesn’t dictate that people must be rational or civilsed. Trying to prevent terrorist attacks is not easy. There are Muslim children being bred to hate and in a few years time, they will be unleashed. The internet is just as much a tool for education, as it is for providing “radicalising” material and instructions to make bombs. Islam is known for being a problem elsewhere and it hasn’t stopped them. The only thing that will stop them is a stiff boot- their language of choice. Western countries cannot continue to sustain repeated attacks until kingdom come and allow their countries to become just as bad as any other country with Muslim problems. If there’s going to be any “collateral damage” then it should be on the side of Muslims in their own country, because that’s the lesser of two evils unfortunately.

      Egypt has enormous problems which you would know about being Egyptian; as does all the other corners of the earth with Muslims living there. Christian girls in Egypt are being taken away and raped and forced into marriage. The resources spent on dealing with Muslims within western countries would be better spent helping non-Muslims fight Muslims and giving them sanctuary in western countries if they need it.

      If Muslims are mostly “harmless” then Muslims shouldn’t be living in fear, should they. Their families should be generally nice, and almost everyone they know should be “nice.” It is CHRISTIANS and other non-Muslims who live in fear because they cannot read the minds of Muslims and know which one of them is violent or not. A point which you seem to repeatedly ignore. It is MUSLIMS whose culture is violent and this allows them to dominate, even when relatively few in number. ***Christians*** live in fear. Muslims, whether they be violent or not; have the benefit of belonging to the dominating culture.

      You’re talking like a former Muslim; rather than a Christian. Who needs enemies when you’ve got “patriots” who want western countries to babysit Muslims until they stop acting like savages and respecting a pedophile prophet. No way. Just no way. The suffering of my European ancestors to fight for western freedoms is not going to waste. Not by the likes of the Muslim shitheads. They’ve already destroyed enough beautiful places in this world.

    Iran/Hezbollah angrily denied the AMIA bombing for 20 years. Then when things start getting interesting, the man accusing Iran–and possibly Hezbollah–of the attack is found dead. Yes, Iran certainly had nothing to do with bombing.

    Well liberals and Islam. Obama and Benghazi, Kirchner (liberal) and Jewish center bombing. Look very very similiar coverup. Liberals love their evil Islam friends don’t they? What strange world we live in. Nothing makes sense anymore once Islam is involved.

      I thought that was implied? Seeing as how most, if not all users on this site–and freedom-loving, anti-Islam people in general–have a sense of humor and understand sarcasm.

    He may have shot himself, to, (according to one story I saw. at least).

    Either way, the corruption here goes way up (or down) and I don’t have to look very hard to find a photo of Pope Francis with this Peronist who seems in bed with the mullahs

    There were actually two separate suicide bombing attacks in Argentina in the 90s — one in 1992 and one in 1994 (I don’t know why the above article only mentions the latter):

    In 1992 and 1994, two bombs devastated the Argentinean Jewish community and marked the arrival of Middle Eastern terrorism to South America.

    The Israeli Embassy in Argentina’s capital of Buenos Aires was the site of the first explosion – a car bomb – on March 17, 1992. The attack killed 29 people and injured more than 250 others. Among the victims were Israeli diplomats, children, clergy from a church located across the street, and other passersby…

      Jan 19, 2015 at 2:30 pm

      By the way, we in the Counter-Jihad should insist on counting wounded as dead; thus, the 1992 attack, which “killed 29 people and injured more than 250 others” should count as having killed at least 280 (since that was the intent — and attacks which are planned but fail (such as the many Islamic plots to blow up the Eiffel tower) should count as successful attacks). The reckoning logic here, of course, is not to be taken literally (as some of the more obtuse readers will likely insist), but to be taken in terms of pedagogical rhetoric accenting the eminently reasonable alarming intent of the Muslims who have been killing us, have been trying to kill us, are killing us, and continue trying to kill more of us.

        You are too logical. Islam must be understood outside of logic and reason.

        This is just screwball logic. 29 dead and 250 injured is just that. If you claim 279 dead, you’re changing the meaning of words, and anyone who takes words seriously will stop listening to you.

        Is the concept of “intending to kill hundreds” so much more difficult than “killed 29”? If you started lumping dead and injured, and claiming that many dead, I’d not only stop listening to you, but ask that any links to your material be deleted, since your figures could obviously not be trusted.

        But, if you said “29 dead, and 250 wounded, with obviously every intent in the world to kill as many as possible”, it would be entirely valid. I don’t understand throwing out a red herring of a phony number of people killed, when the truth is every bit as horrific.

    This is certainly a framed suicide

  9. Bill says

    Jan 19, 2015 at 3:13 pm

    Alberto Nisman obviously committed suicide. The only plausible explanation is that his accusation against Cristina Fernandez and/ or the Iranian mullahs being Islamophobic in nature caused outrage within his own mind, with the unavoidable incitement of violence (since Islamophobia always incites and prompts violence in the name of the religion of peace). The only problem is that since he was the cause of the Islamophobia he also had to suffer the understandable consequences of his own death by his own hands. I’m sure that Pope Francis and Bill Donovan along with millions of Islamophiles in the west, while not approving of violence against those who practice freedom of speech, understand and believe that he contributed to his own death since speaking the truth about Islam (i.e. Islamophobia) ALWAYS RESULTS IN VIOLENCE PERPETRATED BY PROPONENTS OF THE RELIGION OF PEACE.

    Yes, he was so ashamed of himself for making the claims, he had to show his shame by killing himself while in his bathtub. The bathtub….the normal place one commits suicide…so elegant.
    If they don’t really do an investigation for fear of committing suicide in their own bathtubs, then it will be business as usual when politics meet islam iranian muslim politics and the victims are those who point out the corruption and committing of murder by all involved in the dirty deals.

    “Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth committed acts of immorality, and those who dwell on the earth were made DRUNK WITH THE WINE OF HER IMMORALITY…. And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered greatly.” – Revelation 17:1-2,6

    President Cristina Fernandez is doing what most other world leaders have been doing-selling us out for oil.

    Take the massacre in Smyrna, 1922:

    “Despite the fact that there were numerous ships from various Allied powers in the harbor of Smyrna, the vast majority of ships, citing “neutrality”, did not pick up Greeks and Armenians who were forced to flee from the fire and the Turkish troops retaking the city after the Greek Army defeat. Military bands played loud music to drown out the screams of those who were drowning in the harbor and who were forcefully prevented from boarding Allied ships….A Japanese freighter, however, dumped all of its cargo and filled itself to the brink with refugees, taking them to the Greek port of Piraeus.”

    Source : Dr. Esther Lovejoy, “Woman Pictures Smyrna Horrors,” New York Times, 9 October 1922.
    “Japanese at Smyrna”, Boston Globe, 3 December 1922.

    God is watching. Judgement is coming.

    This is how they don’t get convicted. They kill all potential witnesses.
    Unfortunately these monsters have a lot of help from non Muslims who are more than willing to destroy evidence on their behalf.
    Evidence that organ harvesting happened in Kosovo was destroyed at Hague and now they have to start finding evidence. This was many years ago so finding new evidence is very difficult. Also, all wintnesses who were willing to testify against the KLA committed suicide even when they made it to Germany. Imagine that.
    So nothing surprises me. Evidence gets destroyed, witnesses get murdered and nobody seems to care. Islam is rich. Money talks.

    The south of Brazil, in the area of the Tres Fronteiras, Three Borders, between Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay , known as Foz do Iguaçu on the Brazilian side, in the State of Parana has been invaded by the muslim cancer with members of hezbollah among them. They have been suspected as the perpetrators of the attacks on the Israeli centers in Buenos Aires. The Brazilian government looks the other way as if the problem does not exist. They don’t want to stirr the snake lest it attacks. The magazine VEJA had several articles on the subject, and was being sued for islamophobia and slander. The islamic cancer is growing in Br. with mosques being built in SPaulo and women and the poor in the favelas converting to the cult of death. I see big problems ahead.

    This “suicide” reminds me of Abu Nidal, who shot himself “multiple times” while being interrogated by Saddam Hussein’s secret police. Of course the difference is that Nidal was no loss to the human race.
