Golan Could Be New Front For Iran/Hezbollah.

Iran Working as Strategic Partner with Hezbollah Against Israel

A dangerous high stakes game is now underway on Israel's northern frontier.

All is not quiet on the northern front between Israel and Syria/Lebanon.
The recent Hezbollah attack on an Israel Defense Forces convoy in the Har Dov area close to Israel’s border with Lebanon, in which two Israeli soldiers were killed, was the latest move in a dangerous and high stakes game that is now underway on Israel’s northern frontier. Israel and Hezbollah are not the only players. The Islamic Republic of Iran, which the U.S. defines as the leading state-sponsor of terrorism, is also a key presence as Hezbollah’s strategic partner.
The attack at Har Dov was the second move by Iran/Hezbollah in response to the Israeli operation on the Syrian Golan Heights on January 18th.  In the Israeli operation, a senior Iranian Revolutionary Guards officer, Mohammed Allahdadi, was killed, as was Jihad Mughniyeh, the son of a famous Hezbollah commander.
Israel appears to have chosen not to immediately respond to the Hezbollah attack.  As a result, fears of an imminent escalation to full conflict between the Jewish state and the Lebanese Shia Islamists have diminished.  But the silence is deceptive. The border incidents cast a sudden light on an ongoing war between Israel and Iran which is more usually played out in the shadows.
The commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace force Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh announced on February 2nd that his country has exported technology to Hezbollah “for the production of missiles and other equipment, and they can now stand against the Zionist regime.”
Just last week, the IRGC, Hezbollah and Assad’s soldiers launched an offensive in the direction of the Golan Heights to reclaim territory seized by Syrian rebels and jihadis. The offensive seems to have stalled amid the February snow for now.
But the Iranian/Hezbollah determination to drive the Syrian rebels away from the border area is clearly intact.  This ambition lies at the root of the tensions on Israel’s northern border.
The Israeli strike on January 18th was a response to an attempt by Iran and Hezbollah to re-write the delicate “rules of engagement” that pertain between Israel and the Shia Islamist organization in Lebanon and now in Syria.

Could the Golan Become a Front for Attacks on Israel?

The Iran/Hezbollah/Assad troika has long threatened to develop the Golan  as  a front for possible “jihad duties” against Israel. Syria is in chaos. The area east of the Israeli-held Golan is precisely the kind of lawless territory from where Iran’s regime and its proxies would find it suitable to launch acts of violence against Israeli communities.
Both Syrian President Bashar Assad and Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah, in the course of 2014, made unambiguous public statements threatening the opening of military activity against Israel in this area.
Iranian General Allahdadi, Mughniyeh and the others were in the Golan Heights as part of the effort to make these statements a reality.  They were, it appears, in the process of preparing an infrastructure for attacks on Israel.  Israel acted to prevent this, but also to send a broad and clear message to Iran/Hezbollah that it would not tolerate the establishment of a second springboard for attacks on Israeli communities, just east of the Quneitra Crossing.

Israel Does Not Want To Be Drawn into the Syrian Civil War

The emergence of a terror infrastructure facing the Golan, with regular attacks from Hezbollah or (more likely) un-named proxy groups could lead the Jewish state to face the alternative of accepting a war of attrition against northern communities or entering to prevent it.  So Israel is determined to prevent the emergence of that reality.
In pursuing this mission, Israel relies only on its own capabilities.  This is a stance born from bitter experience.  The guarantees of the “international community” have proven to be an ineffective barrier to the ongoing march of Teheran’s ambitions.  Just north of Israel’s border with Lebanon, Iran and Hezbollah have constructed a powerful war machine.  The existence of UNSC Resolution-1701, intended precisely to prevent this, has done nothing serious to even hinder this process.

Saudis Granting Airspace To Israel, Kerry Lying About Negotiations--What Is The World Coming To?


Report: Saudi Arabia May Lend Israel Its Airspace for Attack on Iran


“The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.” (Psalm 34:7)
In closed talks with European lawmakers, Saudi diplomats have expressed their willingness to cooperate with Israel on a possible attack against Iran’s nuclear facilities, Israel’s Channel 2 television network reported Tuesday.
According to the report, however, Saudi officials have said that they would first need to see some meaningful progress in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process in order to muster up public support for allowing Israel to use Saudi Arabia’s airspace for an attack on Iran.
The report comes as Arab governments have expressed deep reservations about the ongoing progress in nuclear negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 powers—U.S., U.K, France, Russia, China and Germany.


According to a Wall Street Journal report last week, leading Arab countries including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates have said that any nuclear deal that allows Iran to retain its capacity to enrich uranium—which can be used to produce a nuclear weapon—would likely force them to develop their own nuclear capabilities.
One Arab official told the Wall Street Journal that the Arab states would prefer a collapse of negotiations with Iran over a bad deal, echoing the sentiment of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has heavily opposed the possibility that Iran may retain some aspects of its nuclear program in a deal with world powers.
But U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has dismissed criticism of the nuclear talks, saying that America would never allow Iran to retain the ability to produce nuclear weapons.
“This is our policy: Iran will not get nuclear weapons. Anyone going around saying that they don’t like the deal, doesn’t even know what the deal is. There’s still no deal at all,” Kerry said.

Breitbart: Amnesty Could Bring $35,500 Tax Windfall to Illegals

Obama's orders give the immigrants the right to obtain Social Security numbers. This enables them to file current and back tax returns for the years 2011-14 and attain years worth of tax benefits, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit.

Congressional Research Service memo dated Feb. 25 reports that as a result of the administration's policies, these immigrants could, depending on family circumstances, be eligible for as much as $35,560 under those tax credits, Breitbart reported.

Republicans point to the IRS policy as proving that the president's "executive amnesty" rewards illegal behavior, according to Breitbart.
Latest News Update

"This is basic economics: if you want more of something, you subsidize it. By subsidizing illegal entry with four years' worth of new tax credits, the IRS would promote lawlessness," said Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Nebraska, in a statement.

"This program severely undermines the White House's lip-service to enforcing the law and would increase the burden on law-abiding taxpayers," he said.

Sasse and Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisconsin, denounced the projected refunds as "amnesty bonuses," Breitbart reported.

The payments will not be automatically given to all immigrants. However, those with three or four children who paid no income tax could receive thousands of dollars in IRS tax credits if they file tax returns for this year and amended returns for past years, according to Factcheck.org.

If Baghdadi Is Dead, It Could Not Happen To A More Deserving Guy! Or Is This More Garbage News?


The Islamic State (ISIS or ISIL) suffered a major blow overnight due to US-led coalition airstrikes. Dozens of ISIS operatives are reportedly dead, including much of the top leadership, from an attack on the Iraqi town of al-Qaim along the Syrian border. The airstrikes, which were conducted by French pilots, also caused extensive damage to ISIS’s infrastructure.
According to a report by al-Arabiya, the airstrikes focused on five strategic targets in al-Qaim, including a location where ISIS leadership was scheduled to meet. It is not clear whether ISIS head Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is among the dead, but he is believed to have been on his way to the meeting at the time of the attack. Many ISIS institutions were also destroyed.
ISIS commanded civilians to stay in their homes in the aftermath. They are currently being joined by reinforcements to help clear the casualties and fight the coalition. US envoy Gen. John Allen told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday that the coalition has thus far eliminated half of ISIS’s leadership and severely hampered its ability to organize logistics.
“Any aura of the invincibility of ISIL has been shattered,” he said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported on Monday that 1,465 ISIS members have been eliminated in airstrikes since September 23, 2014. More than 1,000 civilians were also killed.
Nonetheless, ISIS still presents a major threat to the region. The Islamic terror group recently concluded a three-day operation in which at least 220 Assyrian Christians were abducted from 10 villages in northeast Syria. ISIS has killed members of religious minorities, including 21 Coptic Christians in Libya whose beheading was recorded on video last week.

Of Course Hillary Knew The Facts. Emails Prove It. Why Is She Still Considered Presidential Material?


Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
WASHINGTON – State Department emails released through a lawsuit by Judicial Watch show then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton knew while the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi was under way that it was being carried out by terrorists.

Clinton blamed the attack on “rage and violence over an awful Internet video” when she spoke at a ceremony at Andrews Air Force Base on Sept. 14, 2014, as the remains of the four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens, were returned to the United States.
The emails were made public Thursday by the Washington, D.C., legal watchdog group.
“These emails leave no doubt that Hillary Clinton’s closest advisers knew the truth about the Benghazi attack from almost the moment it happened,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
“And it is inescapable that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton knowingly lied when she planted the false story about ‘inflammatory’ material being posted on the Internet,’” Fitton said.
He said the “contempt for the public’s right to know is evidenced not only in these documents, but also in the fact that we had to file a lawsuit in federal court to obtain them.”
“The Obama gang’s cover-up continues to unravel, despite its unlawful secrecy and continued slow-rolling of information,” Fitton said. “Congress, if it ever decides to do its job, cannot act soon enough to put Hillary Clinton, Cheryl Mills and every other official in these emails under oath.”
Fitton criticized the current House Select Committee investigation on Benghazi headed by Rep. Trey Gowdy, R- S.C.
“Never once has Gowdy or the House Select Committee asked Judicial Watch to turn over the many bombshell documents Judicial Watch has obtained from the Obama administration by FOIA request, “ Fitton told WND.
“I would have thought a serious congressional investigation into Benghazi would have started with the documents we had, since Judicial Watch has led in exposing the White House cover-up,” he said.
On Sept. 11, 2012, at 4:07 p.m. EST, as the Benghazi attack was going on, Maria Sand, then a special assistant to Clinton, forwarded an email from the State Department’s Operations Center titled, “U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi is Under Attack,” to Cheryl Mills, then chief-of staff to Secretary Clinton, as well as Jacob Sullivan, then-deputy chief-of-staff for policy, Joseph McManus, then-Hillary Clinton’s executive assistant, and other special assistants in Clinton’s office.
The email read:
The Regional Security Officer reports the diplomatic mission is under attack. Tripoli reports approximately 20 armed people fired shots; explosions have been heard as well. Ambassador Stevens, who is currently in Benghazi, and four COM [Chief of Mission] personnel are in the compound safe haven. The 17th of February militia is providing security support.
Then, at 4:38 p.m. Eastern, State Department Foreign Service Officer Lawrence Randolph forwarded Mills, Sullivan and McManus an email from Scott Bultrowicz, the former director of the Diplomatic Security Service, one of four senior State Department officials who was ousted in December 2012 after the publication of the State Department’s Advisor Review Board final report of the Benghazi attack.
DSCC [Diplomatic Security Command Center] received a phone call from [REDACTED] in Benghazi, Libya initially stating that 15 armed individuals were attacking the compound and trying to gain entrance. The Ambassador is present in Benghazi and currently is barricaded within the compound. There are no injuries at this time and it is unknown what the intent of the attackers is. At approximately 1600 DSCC received word from Benghazi that individuals had entered the compound. At 1614 RSO advised the Libyans had set fire to various buildings in the area, possibly the building that houses the Ambassador [REDACTED] is responding and taking fire.
Nearly seven hours later, at 12:04 a.m. on Sept. 12, Randolph sent an email with the subject line “FW: Update 3: Benghazi Shelter Location “Also Under Attack,” to Mills, Sullivan and McManus that had several updates about the Benghazi attack:
I just called Ops and they said the DS command center is reporting that the compound is under attack again. I am about to reach out to the DS Command Center.
The email also contains a chain of earlier email updates:
Sept. 11, 2012, at 11:57 p.m. EST. Email: “(SBU) DS Command reports the current shelter location for COM personnel in Benghazi is under mortar fire. There are reports of injuries to COM staff.”
Sept. 11, 2012, 6:06 p.m. EST. (Subject: “Update 2: Ansar al-Sharia Claims Responsibility for Benghazi Attack (SBU): “(SBU) Embassy Tripoli reports the group claimed responsibility on Facebook and Twitter and call for an attack on Embassy Tripoli”
Sept. 11, 2012, 4:54 p.m. EST: “Embassy Tripoli reports the firing at the U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi has stopped and the compound has been cleared. A response team is on site to locate COM personnel.”
The State Department emails released Thursday by Judicial Watch reveal the first official confirmation of the death of Ambassador Stevens.
On Sept. 12, 2012, at 3:22 a.m. EST, Senior Watch Officer Andrew Veprek forwarded an email to numerous State Department officials, which was later forwarded to Mills and McManus, with the subject line “Death of Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi.”
It read:
Embassy Tripoli confirms the death of Ambassador John C. (Chris) Stevens in Benghazi. His body has been recovered and is at the airport in Benghazi.
Two hours later, McManus forwarded the news of Ambassador Stevens’ death to officials in the State Department Legislative Affairs office with instructions not to “forward to anyone at this point.”
Despite her three top staff members being informed that a terrorist group had claimed credit for the attack, Clinton, issued an official statement, also produced to Judicial Watch, claiming the attack may have been “a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet.”
