Tehran insider tells of US black ops
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/HD25Ak02.html


TEHRAN - A former Iranian ambassador and Islamic Republic insider has provided intriguing details to Asia Times Online about US covert operations inside Iran aimed at destabilizing the country and toppling the regime - or preparing for an American attack.

"The Iranian government knows and is aware of such infiltration. It means that the Iranian government has identified them but for some reason does not want to show ," said the former diplomat on condition of anonymity.

Speaking in Tehran, the ex-Foreign Ministry official said the agents being used by the US "were originally Iranians and not Americans" possibly recruited in the United States or through US embassies in Dubai and Ankara. He also warned that such actions will engender "some reactions".

"Both sides will certainly do something," he said in a reference to Iran's capability to stir trouble up in neighboring Iraq and Afghanistan for the occupying US troops there.

1. How come it's always "Black Ops"?
Why not... "Off-Shade of Grey Ops" or "Mauve Ops" or "Emerald Ops"

13. Could it start in college at the "Skull and Bones" club?
I can understand how teenagers or new post teenagers can get into this kind of stuff but when we become adults it's time to put this crap away and live in the world of real men. The world where your actions have real consequences.

14. Black ops
More here
Enough suspicious accidental deaths and so-called suicides abound. The aggressive funding of electro-magnetic/microwave/scalar weapons indicates that their use will not be limited to just terrerists - but are already being used to cattle-prod the masses and perpetrate evidence-less assassinations of dissidents who have become problematic. Microwave & SCALAR Weapons are NOW being implemented. This means that the Black Ops/U.S. Gestapo CAN and ARE -- FROM A DISTANT LOCATION;

1-COOKING TARGETS TO DEATH and/or BLINDING THEM using MICROWAVE WEAPONS (see photo of Jesus Mendoza on www.raven1.net/mendosa.htm and read Leslie Oliver's account below)
2-CHOKING PEOPLE TO DEATH by CLOSING UP THEIR WINDPIPES
3-PLUNGING A PERSON INTO UNCONSCIOUSNESS to incapacitate them…
After incapacitating their victims they can assassinate them and set the murder scene up to look any way they choose. This ploy has been used innumerable times.

ORIGINAL POST:
Herein is a list of 6 recent Assassination Attempts & Death Threats Perpetrated by Black Ops on Dissidents, that we personally know of: These are their stories.
1- WAYNE MADSEN 2- TIM RIFAT 3- LESLIE OLIVER
4- JESUS MENDOZA 5- CLARE WEHRLE 6- FRED McKENNA

MADSEN UNDER THREAT OF ASSASSINATION FLEES WASHINGTON, D.C.
Following months of harassment by the Bush administration, that includes getting him fired from his job at a think tank and attempting to strip him of his membership in the Washington Press Club, the Bush administration has stooped to new lows in trying to make former National Security Agency employee Wayne Madsen disappear. America has entered a dangerous new age of the Neo-Con and new Nazi movement that thrives on lies and propaganda from Fox News and right wing talk show hosts. With Pat Robinson pushing for assassination of foreign leaders are domestic internet journalists next?

10. rumsfeld... airplane crashes... electronic jamming... oh my!
This new mission for the combat troops is a product of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's long-standing interest in expanding the role of the military in covert operations, which was made official policy in the Pentagon's Quadrennial Defense Review, published in February. Such activities, if conducted by CIA operatives, would need a Presidential Finding and would have to be reported to key members of Congress.

The confirmation that the US is carrying out covert activities inside Iran makes more sense out of a series of suspicious events that have occurred along Iran's borders this year. In early January, a military airplane belonging to Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards went down close to the Iraqi border. The plane was carrying 11 of the Guard's top commanders, including General Ahmad Kazemi, the commander of the IRGC's ground forces, and Brigadier-General Nabiollah Shahmoradi, who was deputy commander for intelligence.

Although a spokesman blamed bad weather and dilapidated engines for the crash, the private intelligence company Stratfor noted that there are several reasons to suspect foul play, not least of which was that any aircraft carrying so many of Iran's elite military luminaries would undergo "thorough tests for technical issues before flight". Later, Iran's defense minister accused Britain and the US of bringing the plane down through "electronic jamming".
