Where were you?

Where were you
TOP Buy Physical Precious Metals

ON NOVEMBER 4, 1979?

I was in the day room of the dormitory at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Georgia in the evening after class. We were all enjoying watching the network television broadcast of the classic movie Dog Day Afternoon with Al Pacino when a news alert interrupted our viewing to inform us of a real hostage-taking in Tehran, Iran.

A week later, I graduated from the course and returned home to Hawaii. As an Air Cargo Specialist in the U.S. Air Force Reserve at Hickam Air Force Base, having completed my active-duty time five years previously during the Vietnam era, I fully expected that our Commander-in-Chief, President James Earl Carter, Jr. would have us all called back to active duty to avenge this act of war and rescue the hostages from the Iranian regime.

It didn’t happen.

After a failed rescue attempt went awry, I kept waiting for President Carter’s Plan B. He had no Plan B. He was totally clueless.

With food shortages coming, it’s a smart move to order organic, cooked, freeze-dried chicken for long-term storage from Prepper Organics.

Iran released the hostages just as Ronald Reagan was taking the oath of office on January 20, 1981.

In the early days of this crisis, we watched on the news as certain spokesmen for Ayatollah Khomeini assured us that the hostages would be set free any day soon.

One was Foreign Minister Sadegh Ghotbzadeh. Whether he was uninformed or deliberately misleading is really now a moot point. Ironically, in 1982, he was executed for allegedly plotting the assassination of the Ayatollah.

The other was President Abolhassan Banisadr. Yes, it is interesting how these names stick in my mind nearly 40 years later. This guy was later impeached by the Iranian Parliament on June 20, 1981.

I go into these recollections to counterpose what it was like for those who were witnessing these events from half a world away with the opinions of some who weren’t even born then but who think they understand Iran better than President Trump and National Security Advisor John Bolton.

Representative Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District, who is also a Major in Hawaii National Guard, is basing her campaign for the Democrat nomination for President of the United States upon her anti-war stance.

Ms. Gabbard was born April 12, 1981, several months after Republican Ronald Reagan took office and Iran released the hostages during his inauguration.

ON APRIL 18, 1983?

Toddler Tulsi had just celebrated her second birthday when the U.S. Embassy in Beirut was bombed. Putative perpetrator Hezbollah was and is an Iranian surrogate.

With food shortages coming, it’s a smart move to order organic, cooked, freeze-dried chicken for long-term storage from Prepper Organics.

ON OCTOBER 23, 1983?

U.S. Marine Corps Barracks in Lebanon also bombed, attributed again to Iranian surrogate Hezbollah.

JUNE 3, 1985?

U.S. Political Officer and CIA Station Chief William Buckley assassinated in Lebanon under the auspices of Hezbollah with orders from Tehran.

MARCH 17, 1992?

Suicide bombing attack on Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina, carried out by Hezbollah for Iran.

JULY 18, 1994?

Attack on Argentine Israelite Mutual Association building by operatives of Hezbollah and Iran.

JUNE 25, 1996?

Bombing of Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia which was housing for American and Coalition forces, orchestrated by Hezbollah on behalf of Iran.
Now let’s look at the players within the Iranian regime.

IRGC / QUDS FORCE

Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps primarily through its Quds Force has bankrolled and controlled terrorist groups for decades. This includes not only Hezbollah in Lebanon, but also Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza. As rockets are rained down from Gaza by surrogates, Iranians in Syria launch drones over the Golan Heights, all with Israel and Jewish civilians as their intended targets.

It is well substantiated that Iran at one time harbored UBL and other 9/11 terrorists. The Islamic Shia/Sunni schism did not prevent cooperation against their perceived mutual enemies. Today Hamas and PIJ in Gaza are Sunni, whereas Hezbollah in Lebanon is Shia. Hatred of the United States and Israel takes precedence over differences in Islamic dogma.

IRAN’S SUPREME LEADER

Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini was the first Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran from the revolution in 1979 until his death in 1989. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been Supreme Leader ever since. As an apocalyptic theocracy, all power and all final decisions in Iran are vested in the Supreme Leader alone. Both of these Islamic clerics based their actions upon an ingrained hatred of America and Israel.

Secure your meat for the future before costs rise even further. Order organic, cooked, freeze-dried chicken today from Prepper Organics.

RECENT IRANIAN PRESIDENTS

This is an entirely titular position with no real authority. The President of Iran is just a figurehead subservient to the Ayatollah. Former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was a malignant little troll spewing vitriol in our direction. Current President Hassan Rouhani is far less flamboyant and just serves his role as part of the Iranian regime.

Which brings us to our current situation….

IRAN DOES WHAT IRAN DOES BECAUSE IRAN IS WHAT IRAN IS

The recent attack on vessels in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman plus the apparent shooting down of a U.S. Navy drone need to be considered in historical perspective.

Iran has not always been a reactionary and oppressive Islamic theocracy. I am old enough to remember that Iran during the era of the late Shah was friendly towards the United States and the West. In the 1970’s, I had classmates in college from Iran. I tutored one in English and the other in history and other subjects.

I even had the distinct honor one Thanksgiving with the upcoming school holiday of explaining the significance of this revered American tradition. This was a Christian University and they were very respectful of their fellow students.

NOQ Report Editor-in-Chief JD Rucker has posted an excellent article entitled “Know thy enemy: Iran is driven by belief in Twelver Shia Islam“. This reveals the status of Iran in the world today.

SO WHEN DOES IRAN’S REIGN OF TERROR END?

That is an open-ended question. For 40 years, Iran has been the primary sponsor of terrorism on a global scale.

Let it not be overlooked that Hezbollah has established a significant infrastructure within the United States. This has involved illegal trafficking and sales of North Carolina tobacco in Michigan. It has also included shipping stolen vehicles and commodities to Lebanon for money-laundering purposes.

Don’t wait until food shortages get REALLY bad before stocking up. Get a three-month’s supply now while it’s still available.

Iranian government operatives have been accused of killing activists in the United States who oppose the regime in Tehran. Iran undoubtedly has its assassins as well as surrogates here in this country which it could activate if a war against America ensues. It is likely that the FBI and Joint Terrorism Task Forces have already identified and monitored the activities and whereabouts of such individuals.

SO, NOW WHAT?

I have purposely not gone into the scandalous JCPOA and the disgraceful actions of Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett and John Kerry. Donald Trump has ended that one sided deal which only facilitated Iranian nuclear weapons development and deployment. Right now let’s focus on the threat at hand.

Appeasement is seen in the Islamic world as an abject sign of weakness. President Trump obviously had his reasons for calling back the retaliation against Iran over the shooting down of our drone at the last minute. But red lines cannot continually be redrawn in the sand as Obama did with Assad in Syria.

This far and not one bit more must mean exactly what it says. Piecemeal or surgical strikes against Iran are what the mad regime in Tehran wants to provoke. They care not one whit about their own civilian casualties as collateral damage. They want to portray the United States as the aggressor and Iran as the defender against the Great Satan.

Someday an American President is going to have to stand before Congress as FDR did on December 8, 1941 and seek a Declaration of War against an avowed enemy who will never surrender short of absolute and total defeat. As a baby boomer, I don’t anticipate being here another 40 years. But is anybody of any age willing to let Iran spread death and destruction around the world for that much longer?

If Jimmy Carter hadn’t been so clueless, we wouldn’t be facing this threat today. Much of Donald Trump’s legacy is going to be based upon how he handles Iran. The Cold War doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction does not apply to that apocalyptic regime. That is a very important distinction between Iran and our other adversaries in China, Russia and North Korea.

ADMONITION TO DECISION MAKERS

Playing politics with the Mexican border is detrimental to our national sovereignty but playing politics with Iran would be an absolutely existential error of judgment. When Ayatollah Khamenei and General Soleimani have a nuke ready to deploy, they will do precisely that. For America to allow this to occur would be to hasten Armageddon.



COVID-19 may take down an independent news outlet

Nobody said running a media site would be easy. We could use some help keeping this site afloat.

Colleagues have called me the worst fundraiser ever. My skills are squarely rooted on the journalistic side of running a news outlet. Paying the bills has never been my forte, but we’ve survived. We have ads on the site that help, but since the site’s inception this has been a labor of love that otherwise doesn’t bring in the level of revenue necessary to justify it.

Right now MyPillow, is BOGO. Use promo code “JDR” at checkout for maximum discounts and Ultra MAGA.

When I left a nice, corporate career in 2017, I did so knowing I wouldn’t make nearly as much money. But what we do at NOQ Report to deliver the truth and fight the progressive mainstream media narrative that has plagued this nation is too important for me to sacrifice it for the sake of wealth. We know we’ll never make a ton of money this way, and we’re okay with that.

Things have become harder with the coronavirus lockdowns. Both ad money and donations that have kept us afloat for a while have dropped dramatically. We thought we could weather the storm, but the so-called “surge” or “2nd-wave” that mainstream media and Democrats are pushing has put our prospects in jeopardy. In short, we are now in desperate need of financial assistance.

The best way NOQ Report readers can help is to donate. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well. We need approximately $11,500 to stay afloat for the rest of 2020, but more would be wonderful and any amount that brings us closer to our goal is greatly appreciated.

The second way to help is to become a partner. We’ve strongly considered seeking angel investors in the past but because we were paying the bills, it didn’t seem necessary. Now, we’re struggling to pay the bills. This shouldn’t be the case as our traffic the last year has been going up dramatically. June, 2018, we had 11,678 visitors. A year later in June, 2019, we were up to 116,194. In June, 2020, we had 614,192. We’re heading in the right direction and we believe we’re ready talk to patriotic investors who want to not only “get in on the action” but more importantly who want to help America hear the truth. Interested investors should contact me directly with the contact button above.

Election year or not, coronavirus lockdowns or not, anarchic riots or not, the need for truthful journalism endures. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report going.



American Conservative Movement

Join fellow patriots as we form a grassroots movement to advance the cause of conservatism. The coronavirus crisis has prompted many, even some conservatives, to promote authoritarianism. It’s understandable to some extent now, but it must not be allowed to embed itself in American life. We currently have 8000+ patriots with us in a very short time. If you are interested, please join us to receive updates.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants

Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.

Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.

We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our brand new GiveSendGo page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.

Thank you, and God Bless!
