Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Islamic Republic of Iran ships food to socialist Venezuela, where first Iranian supermarket is set to open

Jun 25, 2020 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Iran is rapidly expanding its influence in Venezuela. It “delivered a large food shipment to its crisis-stricken ally Venezuela…to set up the country’s first Persian supermarket…..As well as food supplies, Tehran also sent a shipment of humanitarian aid, including vital medical supplies and coronavirus testing kits, to help Venezuela battle the ongoing pandemic.”

Last month, Iran sent petrol tankers to its gas-starved ally, while Iran’s President Rouhani threatened the U.S. if it interfered.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro celebrated his country’s alliance with Iran: “The end of Ramadan brings us the arrival of the FORTUNE ship, a sign of the solidarity of the Islamic people of Iran with Venezuela.”

Venezuela’s status as a country of interest to the U.S. is now heightened because of its alliance with Iran. In March, the U.S. indicted Venezuela’s Maduro on narco-terrorism charges. And in a “rare action,” America also offered “up to $15m reward for information leading to the arrest of Nicolas Maduro.” The U.S. and its Latin American partners have also been discussing the presence of Iranian proxy Hizballah in Venezuela. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stated in January: “We’re concerned that Maduro has extended safe harbor to a number of terrorist groups.”

“Venezuela Prepares Opening of ‘First Iranian Supermarket,’” by Ben Kew, Breitbart, June 22, 2020:

Iran delivered a large food shipment to its crisis-stricken ally Venezuela on Sunday to set up the country’s first Persian supermarket, the Iranian Embassy in Venezuela claimed this weekend.

The Iranian cargo ship, known as the Golsan, departed Bandar Abbas on May 15th and arrived at its destination on Saturday.

“The Golsan will arrive carrying food to open the first Iranian supermarket in Venezuela,” the Caracas-based embassy tweeted on Saturday. “Another success in friendly and fraternal relations between two countries #IranandVenezuela”…

…As well as food supplies, Tehran also sent a shipment of humanitarian aid, including vital medical supplies and coronavirus testing kits, to help Venezuela battle the ongoing pandemic. Iran did not specify if the test kits sent to Venezuela are legitimate testing kits or the bizarre “magnetic” devices that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a U.S.-designated terrorist organization, has peddled as coronavirus detectors….

    One has to love this story. It should be called Iran feeds Venezuela while its own citizens go hungry or maybe, Iran provides medical supplies while its citizens die. Not even Stalin fed other nations while those in Moscow died. He starved Ukraine farmers while Moscow ate, just ask Bernie Sanders. It also appears that their corona virus detecting gun has been perfected.

      Iran provides food we provide war and bombs, then we twist everything into a pretzel and tell the American people bombs good, food bad and we all shout, USA,USA.

        Well, this is just ludicrous. Firstly, there is no reason that Venezuela should need food–this is due to the hideous Communist regime imposed on them.

        Then, the United States is not bombing Iran or Venezuela–does Hoppla poppla think we don’t know that? Try again, creep.

    There’s no surprise here. China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, they are all working together to expedite the collapse of the U.S.A. This cabal is slowly but surely setting up shop in the U.S.A.’s backyard.

    The next story will probably praise Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party for their recognition of Iran’s peaceful humanitarian assistance.

    Next, we will hear from Pope Francis, praising Iran for their tireless effort to bring Social Justice to the world.

    Then, Joe Biden will be elected, “Acting President of the United States.”

    Iran is simply trying to protect the Socialist regime and infiltrate Venezuela. And just think if the people had paid attention to real history the Socialist would not have gotten power and destroyed Venezuela.

    Given the shite state of Iran’s economy, it’s losing battle with the Woohan virus, it’s people on the bones of their arses ect. Then just how the hell can they send anything anywhere?

      Still skating on their unearned oil wealth–and are brutalizing their own citizens to keep them quiet.

    ………………

    Venezuela has the most productive farmland in South America–even with a chaotic government, food should be abundant there. This is what Communism does.

    And even worse than Venezuelans going hungry, now they are opening themselves up to the horrors of Jihad ans Shari’ah–the Mullahs are using this as an opportunity to weasel their way in.

    God help Venezuelans–already, most who can flee are doing so.

      10 Countries With The Most Natural Resources

      https://www.investopedia.com/articles/markets-economy/090516/10-countries-most-natural-resources.asp

      • gravenimage says

        Jun 26, 2020 at 2:03 am

        Yes–I’ve seen similar lists, curious george. Note that some of these countries–the US, Canada, and Austalia–are among the richest in the world, some–India, Brazil, and Russia–are middling, and some–Venezuela, and Congo–are generally chaotic messes, and can barely feed themselves. Then China and Saudi Arabia are totalitarian thug states.

        More proof that the general guiding philosophy of a place makes a *huge* difference. Communism and Islam are deadening.

        And it works the other way around, as well–places like Denmark, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Israel have almost no significant natural resources, but all are wealthy and civilized places to live–or were, until they began to allow Muslims to flood in.

        By the way, Afghanistan has huge natural resources–but is so ruined by Islam that none of them can be effectively used.

      Many are fleeing to Peru and my wife, who is taking care of her family during the pandemic, tells me that many of those who have fled to Peru are causing many problems for Peruvian citizens. Crime rates have risen exponentially with their arrival but nowhere will one read about it in the American FAKE News.

    The truly scary part is that this same Socialist movement is trying to gain a foothold in America. Iran is simply trying to spread its “religious” dictatorship rule around the world. Irans plan is most likely to begin the migration invasion of Islam into Venezuela. Nothing good will come from this for the people of either Iran or Venezuela. What a shame the people of Venezuela had a great democracy until the Socialist left took it away from them.

      And Islam is already ensconced in the violent “Triple Frontier” region of South America, with all of the expected resultant violence.
