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

Justice Department seizes 92 Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps websites spreading pro-Biden propaganda

Oct 10, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer 35 Comments

Remember the good old days when Obama showered billions on the Islamic Republic of Iran? The mullahs do, and want those days back.

“U.S. Seizes 92 Websites Run by Iranian Intel Services,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, October 8, 2020:

The Department of Justice on Wednesday seized the domain names of 92 websites that it says Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was using to spread propaganda and disinformation to American audiences.

Iran and the IRGC used these websites to “spread propaganda covertly” and “sow discord” among the American public ahead of the 2020 presidential elections, according to John Demers, assistant attorney general for national security. Iran has spent great resources trying to influence the election in favor of Democratic challenger Joe Biden, and its operation of these websites violates U.S. sanctions.

At least four of these websites were set up to appear as news outlets. They were, however, actually controlled by the IRGC, Iran’s paramilitary fighting force responsible for conducting cyber operations on the Islamic Republic’s behalf. This behavior violates the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which mandates that foreign governments disclose their activities in the United States. Visitors to these websites will now only see a Department of Justice notice about the domain name seizure….

    Tyranny, whether secular or religious, wants weak human beings to oppose them.

    Tyranny wants Bidens and Chamberlains. It does not want Churchills and Trumps.

    Nothing could be clearer to those who see matters clearly, but, unfortunately, so many, a damn effing multitude, don’t see matters clearly. Here in America such snowflakes and cupcakes form a great deal of Biden’s support.

    And even if you despise Trump, ask yourself this: How many snowflakes and cupcakes support Trump?

    Case closed.

      If Chamberlain had declared war in 1938 then Britain would have lost, and Europe, Russia and much of the world beyond would be living under Nazism to this day.

      Instead Chamberlain built up the armed forces to give us a fighting chance, promised Poland that they would be defended, kept his promise, and declared war within two days of Poland being invaded.

      Given the choice, the people of Hong-Kong would probably prefer Neville Chamberlain to Boris Johnson.

        I am glad that Winston Churchill handled the war proper, and not Neville Chamberlain. Not only did Chamberlain throw civilized Czechoslovakia under the bus, but he did not want to declare war on Nazi Germany–his hand was just forced by the British pact with Poland.

        Hitler *hated* the fact that Churchill was not as tractable as Chamberlain.

          Obama protected Islam during his administration instead of protectiong the United States against it’s methods in my opinion…Maybe he chose Iran for his approval due to the required every Friday “peaceful” sic protests in Iran against the U.S. , which unfortunately were interpreted by the press as justified instead of required as a method of infiltration and subversion of the America public, since it made the news, negative propaganda and suppressed information of their terror nature and intent. Same deceptive Quranic warfare methods that conquered much of the ME and spreads outward now around the world. And we got trapped .

      Certainly, though, he should openly condemn this–and I doubt that he will.

        Islam is deceptive thru omission when in public. Biden did not, most likely know the doctrine that this the danger and what is sharia law,and that may be supported by the left/ liberal or his VP not many people for a long time had interest to hear the non- fantasy information.

    That’s no surprise since that Marxist pro-Islamic man ,Joe Biden is really into what is known as “Red/ Green alliance. Just as in Antifa friends are.

    That tyrannical Islamic regime in power in Iran would like Biden to be President . After with that feeble- minded man as President the police would be defunded which would ,to the delight of Iran’s mullahs , be a disaster for America.

    This is because if the police are defund there would immediately be a drastic sharp rise in many heinous violent crimes . .As rapes and murders , more riots with looting and arson . Also an increase in brutal violence vicious malicious harmful assaults on peaceful law abiding people. More kidnapping and even torture those kidnapped victims . More break in’s and looting ot homes and businesses and many other hideous types of criminal activity .All this the ayatollah sand mullahs of Iran would enjoy

    Likewise. with Joe Biden as President the US /Mexican border would come down and .Iran Islamic power elite would find it easier to infiltrate murderous and destructive scheming Hezbollah and Hamas jihadists into America.

    With Biden as President he would restore the old, Obama nuclear Iran power “deal’ and send more money to Iran as one again ,as with Obama, have America turn her back against the State of Israel.

    Yes ,indeed, that mullah tyranny want Joe Biden as President of the USA.

    This coming national election in November is a very clear choice between good and evil.

    It’s either voting for President Trump who stands with God and the US Constitution or by terrible contrast voting for Joe Biden with stands with socialism /Marxism and his Antifa and BLM allies with their Red/ Green alliance .

    Surely, we are now living in important and epoch times.

    Talking about Iran, the GRANDSON of the Ayatollah Khomeini ( his name is HUSSEIN KHOMEINI ), who at age 20 had participated in establishing the Islamic government

    he is now AGAINST the theocracy in Iran, and for a SECULAR, Western-style government.He is still a believing Muslim,in fact a CLERIC.

    IN THE MEANTIME

    There is DANIEL HAQIQATJOU, American, born of non-religious Iranian parents ( they even gave him a JEWISH name ) ,

    who became a hardcore Muslim (in his youtube videos he is for killing apostates, has no problem with having sex slaves, etc.). It is called ” The Muslim Skeptic”.

    He had a 4 hr 30 min debate about Islamic Law with EX-MUSLIM Ridvan, aka youtuber “Apostate Prophet”(Turkish) and here is a portion( the clip is from “The Muslim Skeptic”)

    As a REDPILLER/BLACKPILLER the end of the video took me by surprise,but only partly, where Ridvan tells Daniel:

    “I think Slavery is Completely, Historically, Logically Justified”

    HERE IS THE VIDEO CLIP ( 7 min )

    “Muslim Convinces Ex-Muslim that Islamic Slavery Is “Completely Historically Justified”

        True,for example, ANTIFA began in Germany, a COMMUNIST group that was anti-nazi,during the Weimer Republic (1919-1933),but ALSO Intolerant, Thuggish,Violent to All Groups,not just regarding the Nazis.They wanted an anti-human rights Soviet-style system in Germany.

        BLM was founded by 3 black women who are Judeophobic and Marxist.

        KHOMEINI AND THE LEFTISTS

        The Iranian socialists and communists HELPED him get to power in 1979,and when in power Khomeini KILLED THEM ALL:

        in 10 years he killed 100,000 people ( monarchists,democrats,liberals, socialists, communists)

        If the Muslims get to power in Europe,they will,if necessary,kill the radical feminists,leftists,socialists,who now defend them.

          Thanks for that, Brando. Antifa was apparently a Stalinist group.

          I had not realized this–I had thought that Antifa began in the 1970s–but it looks as though they do indeed date back much further. They certainly haven’t strayed far from their ugly roots.

    An error: I had states Khomeini had killed 100,000 political prisoners,it is really 20,000:

    “It was in 1981 that Iran’s new Islamic government, with Ayatollah Khomeini as its figurehead,

    rounded on the LEFTISTS and others who had come together with the Islamists to bring down the autocratic rule of the Shah two years earlier and gave them two choices: convert or be liquidated.

    Those Muslim tyrants who have total power and control of Iran care nothing about the human rights Iranian people under their Islamic tyranny .,How much less if even possible do they than care about human rights of the American citizens. Therefore with their sinister Islamic mindset they they have this quest to have Joe Biden sitting in the office of the White House.

    For with Biden as President the USA they understand that they can manipulate the feeble minded man to use his to achieve their jihadist goals of the furtherance of Islam is the wreaking and even ,they hope, the wrecking of America as the same time

    As I have said many times follow the money on who supports who in politics. Iran knows that under a Trump Administration their money train has derailed, along with the U.S.A. not butting up with any of their terrorist crap. They want anybody but Trump as do many other countries who have been taking advantage of us through crooked politicians such as Biden who has made his family wealthy off of shady deals with foreign nations.
