Islamic Republic of Iran to be declared in breach of chemical weapons bans

Nov 17, 2018 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Trump again moves to undo the massive damage done by his predecessor, who did so very much to enable and empower the Islamic Republic of Iran.

“Iran to Be Declared in Breach of Chemical Weapons Bans,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, November 16, 2018:

The Trump administration is set to announce that Iran is not in compliance with the Chemical Weapons Conventions, marking a significant departure from that of the Obama administration, which refrained from making such a declaration amid efforts to solidify the landmark nuclear agreement.

The declaration comes in the aftermath of a flurry of activity by both the White House and State Department highlighting Iran’s malign activities across the globe. A bevy of economic sanctions on Iran were reimposed earlier this month, and the chemical weapons action is likely to further tighten the noose on the Iranian regime as part of what the administration has called a “maximum pressure” campaign on Tehran.

Syria’s Bashar al-Assad, backed by Iranian forces, is believed by the international community to have deployed chemical weapons, with support given by Tehran.

Multiple sources with knowledge of the matter confirmed that next week the Trump administration will transmit a formal finding to Congress regarding Iran’s non-compliance with the conventions, which ban stockpiling and use of these lethal weapons.

The use of chemical weapons in the Middle East has created scores of civilian casualties just in Syria alone.

The Obama administration stopped short of declaring Iran in non-compliance during its time in office, but did inform Congress that it was not able to verify Iran as upholding the conventions….

    TAQIYYA was not invent by Shi’ism, but it was certainly developed to a high art by them.

    You know a Shi’ite is lying because his lips are moving.

    You know a Shi’ite is thinking about lying because he is smiling.

      Mortimer, we agree on this. The same can be said about Many lawyers, and I tell lawyer jokes.

      What are the 2 happiest days in a client’s life: The day he hires his lawyer and the day he finishes his legal business.

      What are 50,000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean: A good start,

      What is a 55 seat bus going over a cliff with 54 lawyers and 1 empty seat: A crying shame for the empty seat.

      How do you know a lawyer’s answer: Because it is absolutely correct and completely useless.

      How many lawyers does it take to change a light bulb: How many can you afford?

      But truth be told, the few good lawyers make up for the ones who need to learn better, and make our society better and safer every time they get things right. Like all other parts of law enforcement, we would really be in a bad spot without them. And I do try hard for 40 years to be one of the good ones.

      I wish we find a way to help many muslims see the light and become Former Muslims and join a world of peace, friendship and toleration.

        How many SPLC lawyers are Jewish and don’t get the Irony of trying to shut down an anti-Jihadist,anti-islamic supremacist,anti-islamic antisemitism website like JW?

        Oh wait..a minute…sorry..that’s not a joke..that’s reality..like SAHIH MUSLIM #6985{islam’s call for the elimination of the Jews}is a reality but the Lefty Lawyers and Dhimmi Jews prefer not to know about that.Maybe it’ll go away like hitler and the nazis were sure to go away in 1933 Germany….

        How many SPLC lawyers does it take to fix a leak?
        None.Because it’s all Robert Spencer’s and JW’s fault and it’s obviously caused by “islamophobia” anyway..

          FYI, I have now 25 years of personal history with the Jewish community. It started in Nashville when a friend invited me to Saturday Torah Study and services. I heard that first day many things, especially 3 profound teachings that I have shared here many times, that made me want to learn more. Then I left Nashville and returned to the nearest place I have to a home where I am now; I rented an apartment and noticed how a Jewish mother-in-law came in to hold the office while her daughter-in-law did what was needed on Fridays. After the war that ended pretty near everything where my ex-wife and adopted mother fought over anything at every opportunity, this harmony made me smile. Naturally, over time we began to talk.

          She invited me to services at the local Temple. After 7 years I converted. The Rabbi, who served that congregation a phenomenally long time, retired and left. The people who took over the control of the Temple made it clear that I was no longer welcome. I was invited to visit another congregation; but found that any honest discussion of islam was contrary to the wishes of the Rabbi and others in charge. That was now about 3 years ago.

          My love for what I learned in the Jewish community is just as strong as ever; perhaps even stronger, because so much of it makes sense to me. My love for the mother-by-choice, one of many without numbers, who guided me and inspired me as long as she lived, and continues to inspire me now, is still what it has been for more than 20 years. Many other friends have shared, as Rabbi Harold Kushner described, their little pieces of God we all carry with us, continue to inspire me even though we have not talked in 3 years, and probably will not again.

          I am not angry. Many years ago in one of many great sermons we were told about the TWO lessons of The Exodus: 1) No matter how well things start, they will change; 2) God does not want any of His Children (ALL who call upon Him as Father) to live in any form of tyranny or slavery. I have been through some very hard, dangerous, demanding times in my life, much of it alone and abandoned by people. After fighting to answer for myself the question, “Is God?”, I believe I was shown after 7 years of no-holds-barred struggle my answer is “Yes”. That little bit of un-provable faith has made the difference many times between giving up and continuing to live.

          There are a number of Jewish people I find disgusting, dishonest, corrupt, evil, traitorous and otherwise unworthy. It saddens me in a big way to watch their actions aiding the destruction of freedom and liberty that Judaism is supposed to represent. In the US, I understand as many as 75 percent of Jews vote for the goals I oppose. I am better on my own. I pray for the day, long before the mass killings (the “small killings” are already with us) begin and they finally see their error. I am reminded of the Jew who ran a ghetto in Poland as a Nazi collaborator, only to wind up on a train to a death camp, when he finally “saw the light”. I wish for all of us, “Peace be with you.”

        My father, who was one of the good lawyers, tells this one:

        Question: What is the difference between rats and lawyers?

        Answer: There are some things rats just will not do.

        • Frank Anderson says

          Nov 17, 2018 at 9:32 pm

          E.O., Why are lawyers used instead of rats for lab tests: Because there are more of them and nobody complains if any are hurt!

          I Estimate the good ones, who actually obey and uphold the law, are the 10 percent of the total population. I hope I am one; and know a number I would include in that group.

      Lawyers the only profession paid huge amounts to lie and often put criminals back on the streets Who will know their client has committed a terrible crime but argue his innocence. The only profession allowed not to be paid a salary and to make its own pay rates however exhorbitant. To make huge profit fro people’s misery, no wonder they are so good at getting criminals off as they are little better than criminal themselves

      • Frank Anderson says

        BC, we recently had an election where 2 candidates for judge bragged they had never defended a criminal case; but they wanted to judge criminal cases. They both lost to other lawyers who had seen both sides.

        There can be no valid conviction in any US criminal case unless the accused is provided a competent defense. The defined duty of the defense lawyer is to force the state to prove its case. The first time I spoke in court for a criminal defendant who was pleading guilty, I asked for the judge to look for any room for mercy in a very tough law. I was an intern working before graduating under an outstanding mentor, who very quickly took over. I later apologized if I had spoken out of turn to the judge. The judge responded that I had done my duty because as the man’s lawyer, I was the ONLY thing standing between him and the full power of the state.

        When Adolf Eichman was tried in Israel he was provided the very best defense and given the fairest trial possible in spite of the fact that he was key in the murder of more than 6,000,000 human beings. Any review of the conduct of that trial should make anyone proud of the requirements of a zealous, competent defense along with the other requirements of a fair and valid trial and conviction. The huge amount of money and effort was spent for the only capital case in Israel’s history to make a record for all time of what happened and why. While not true in many countries, the US concept is that it is better for a guilty person to walk than to convict a not guilty person of a crime he did not commit.

    Iran to Be Declared in Breach of Chemical Weapons Bans

    A terrorist state not honouring an agreement? I’m shocked, SHOCKED!!!!!!!!!

    The declaration comes in the aftermath of a flurry of activity by both the White House and State Department highlighting Iran’s malign activities across the globe.

    Yup – Iran, the number one terrorism-sponsoring nation in the world.

  3. Walter Sieruk says

    Nov 17, 2018 at 1:13 pm

    First point: much, if not all, of that money Iran has now obtained, thanks to Obama and Kerry, had gone go into funding weapons and now even chemical weapons, as well as other supplies to Iran murderous terror proxies such as Hezbollah and Hamas. President Trump is wise to renew sanctions against that heinous and vicious “mullah regime “ of Iran

    Second point: just a few years ago young Iranian woman who now lives in an American city that I now also live in. This city has a newspaper and she wrote an article how she and her mother had returned from visiting her sick and dying grandmother in the hospital in Tehran in Iran In that article this young women explained that the medical and health care in Iran’s hospitals is so terrible that the people of Iran view hospitals s place that people go to not get better but to die. The reason the this second point is brought up is that the mullahs and ayatollahs as well as others in power in this Islamic tyranny Iran will not invest those news funds from, Obama and Kerry, in better health care in hospitals but instead use that money to engage in more support for brutal and murderous militant jihad organizations . For those tyrants in power in Iran don’t care, at all, about the Iranian people. They are only interested in furthering their mad jihad Islamic quest.

  4. Walter Sieruk says

    Nov 17, 2018 at 1:21 pm

    What else can any rational person expect from that Islamic tyrannical Islamic regime of Islam than arrogance , lies and breach of an international “contract deal” ? This time in including chemical weapons.

    Those ayatollahs ,mullahs and other Muslim tyrants in power in this cruel and oppressive Islamic tyranny are, in character, reflected in the Bible in Psalm 73:6-9. Which reads, “Therefore pride is their necklace; they clothe themselves with violence. From their callous hearts comes iniquity; the evil conceits of their mind know limits. They scoff and speak with malice; in their arrogance they threaten oppression. Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth.” [N.I.V.]

  5. Walter Sieruk says

    Nov 17, 2018 at 2:38 pm

    First, the Islamic quest for chemical weapons by this “mullah regime O of Iran should surprise no well informed person concerning the wicked Islamic nature characters of those in power in Iran .

    Second ,many young people and strangely many older people, who are Westerns who in the United States as well other countries of the West are, no doubt sincere but very misinformed ,as in misled, therefore say ,because they believe it, that “Islam is a peaceful and non-violent religion .” To those people the first and supreme Ayatollah, who was the very head this current Islamic regime of Iran knows better stated about how he feels about those naive Westerns .For he declared “Islam grew with blood….Islam is a religion of blood for the infidels” He also said “Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war….I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.” [1]
    So, in other words Ayatollah Khomeini felt nothing but arrogant contempt for those people who say that his religion “Is a peaceful religion” and understand that they in ignorant and uninformed.
    Therefore the West needs to wake up to the reality of the truth about the actual violent essence of this religion.

    One day, sooner or later, either of two things must happen in Persia. Either the Mullahs are deposed in a violent overthrow, or America attacks Iran to neuter its nuclear ambitions.

      here is the dog of satan who comes to tell us his lies. perhaps it is not well known that an unfaithful devotee to the pedophile pig called Mohammed can not ‘do anything but say lies, on the other hand there is written on that infamous book arrived directly from lucifer that lying to the infidels is forgiven because it is for the good of Islam, then lies on lies.
      do we want to start from the massacres along the western coasts of the Mediterranean? Have you ever wondered why in Spain, France, Greece, Italy and other Balkan countries there are villages built in inaccessible mountainous places? to escape from the Muslims it is obvious, and you know why on the banks of the same nations every 300 meters there is an old sighting tower or a castle? to warn the civilian population that the bloody Muslim thieves were coming, of course, and you know the crusades because they were made? you know this or to free the holy sepulcher, and despite having been in spain and greece for 800 years when they left by force no one mourned their departure, indeed they had been partying for years, the same with the 300 years of Sicily , and some parts of the Balkans, so if the Christians were well and treated like Muslims because nobody ever regretted them, did they celebrate? and why nobody has ever converted? and why the first partisans of europe were born in the places occupied by the bloodthirsty cavemen of the dog allah? there are not only the stories of India that hide the true diabolical face of Islam, from Malaysia, to China, from Africa, to the Maghreb etc etc where Islam has arrived brought evil, death, submission, infamy, cowardice, filth, crime, exaltation, arrogance, ignorance, no respect, no restraint, no pity, no civic sense, no progress, but only barbarism, mourning and men made hungry beasts of the blood of the brothers, because the Muslim dirt does not it only kills those of other religions but also the brothers and sisters. who willingly cut their heads because they have nothing human, the devil is Satan to tamper with their minds and their reason, who can never set fire to children and make them explode like in the school of beslan? hundreds of thousands of people and laughs bringing heads severed in triumph and you take pictures ?, who is it that he likes to do evil if not the devil allah? and his pigs in hell? now one of their dogs wants us to believe that it is we who kill every day other people in the name of a piece of crazy crap and pedophile lived 1400 years ago and satan-allah, go away caveman, this is a place where people good of the planet he discusses in the grace of the holy spirit, of the hinduism, of geova, of miter, of confucius, of buddah here mohammed is not the welcome, the devil and his teachings here do not take hold, it goes back satan
