Well.

This is suspicious.

Business Standard:

The Iranian city of Kerman witnessed a devastating attack near Qasem Soleimani’s burial site on Wednesday, resulting in a death toll of 103 and 188 injuries, according to a report by CNN. No group has claimed responsibility yet, while Iranian President Raisi blames Israel, warning of severe consequences. Here is what is known about the situation so far.

Two bombs exploded minutes apart on Wednesday in what appears to be the deadliest militant attack to target Iran since its 1979 Islamic Revolution. The gathering marked the fourth anniversary of the killing of General Qassem Soleimani, the head of the Revolutionary Guard’s elite Quds Force, in a US drone strike in Iraq in January 2020. The explosions occurred near his gravesite as long lines of people gathered for the event.

The first explosion was 700 metres away from Soleimani’s grave, and the second was a kilometre (0.6 miles) away as pilgrims visited the site, according to the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).

No one has claimed responsibility for the attack yet. However, Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi accused Israel of being behind them. President Raisi warned that they would pay a “heavy price.”

“I warn the Zionist regime; do not doubt that you will pay a heavy price for this crime and the crimes you have committed,” Raisi said in a televised speech from Tehran, according to CNN.

The Iranian President, following the blasts, has issued a dire warning, stating that Israel will face “regrettable and severe” consequences.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei reiterated this sentiment in a post on X (formerly Twitter), that Iran will have a “harsh response” to the attack.

He wrote, “They should know that the bright soldiers of the path of Soleimani will not tolerate their wickedness and crimes.”

Maybe it’s just a coincidence though?

Is it because of sanctions, or because Instagram is owned by Mark Zuckerberg, who happens to be Jewish?

I don’t understand how you can sanction social media posts.

CNN:

Instagram and its parent company Facebook are removing posts that voice support for slain Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani to comply with US sanctions, a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement to CNN Business Friday.

The Iranian government has called for nationwide legal action against Instagram in protest, even creating a portal on a government website for the app’s users to submit examples of posts the company removed, Iranian state media reported.

Instagram is one of the few western social media platforms that is not blocked in Iran. Facebook and Twitter are blocked but some Iranians access those sites using VPNs.

In a tweet, Iran’s government spokesperson, Ali Rabiei, called Instagram’s actions “undemocratic.”

Instagram shut down Soleimani’s own account on the platform last April after the US government designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a foreign terrorist organization. Soleimani was an IRGC commander.

“We operate under US sanctions laws, including those related to the US government’s designation of the IRGC and its leadership,” a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement.

Iranian soccer player Alireza Jahanbakhsh, who has a verified Instagram account, posted a photo of Soleimani after his death. Jahanbakhsh said Instagram had removed that post.

Yes, they did say that the IRGC is a terrorist organization.

But that means you’re not allowed to post on the internet about it?

ISIS never gets banned from social media, and they use it for actual recruiting (which is definitely illegal).

Facebook isn’t even saying that the US government told them to not allow pictures of Soleimani.

Anyway – weird move.

President Donald Trump of America gave a weird, mumbling speech Wednesday morning.

While being surrounded by the entire SG-1 team in what many thought might be a declaration of war, Trump first rambled about how he’s going to stop Iran’s nuclear weapons, and called for more sanctions. He defended his assassination of Qasem Soleimani, and then said that actually, he wants peace with Iran.

He claimed that there were no casualties in Tuesday night’s attack by Iran on military bases in Iraq, which is probably not true. The entire Arabic media was saying that there were casualties.

He said that he absolutely does not want to use the military against Iran, and says actually, he wants to work with them to fight terrorism and other projects.

Trump is definitely trying to deescalate the current situation. But that just begs the question: why did he escalate it in the first place?

No one knows.

The speech also contained a lot of gibberish about Iran funding terrorism and so on, and Trump said he wanted NATO to get involved in the situation.

He ended the speech with a call for peace.

Notably, he did not even mention today’s crash and/or shoot-down of a passenger jet over Iran.

I don’t really have any comments on all of this. It is all just confusing and weird.

Is this too some kind of Jewish plot?

BBC:

More than 30 people have been killed in a stampede as Iranians flocked to the burial of a top commander killed in a US drone strike, Iranian media report.

The deaths led to the postponement of Qasem Soleimani’s interment. A new time will be announced later, officials say.

Soleimani is being laid to rest in his hometown of Kerman, with millions already estimated to have packed the streets for funeral processions.

…

It is unclear what caused the stampede in Kerman, south-eastern Iran, but vast numbers of people were in the streets ahead of Soleimani’s burial, first set for Tuesday morning.

The exact death toll is unconfirmed – one emergency official put it at 32 while another said it was 40. Nearly 200 people are also said to have been injured.

I’m well aware of the Islamic tendency to break into stampedes.

But doing it at a funeral like this is curious.

Never forget that the evil terrorist regime of Iran was responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

Many Americans are questioning why the United States went ahead with an assassination operation that killed top Iranian General Qasem Soleimani. They viewed the attack as an unnecessary provocation and an event that could plunge us into World War III.

Unfortunately, most Americans either have short memories or are ignorant of history. That’s why it is important we review the history involved. Americans must understand why it is vitally important to the national security of our country that we invade Iran and overthrow their government.

General Qasem Soleimani was the architect and chief mastermind of the 9/11 attacks.

The main reason why assassinating General Soleimani was so important is that in addition to attacking America’s consulate building in Benghazi, he was the chief mastermind of the 9/11 attacks. He was responsible for recruiting and directing Shiite militiamen to hijack airplanes using box cutters so they could be flown into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon.

The evidence indicating Iranian involvement in the attacks is overwhelming.

15 of the 19 hijackers were members of Hezbollah, a major terrorist organization allied with Iran.

A 2002 Congressional report, more commonly known as the 28 pages, revealed that the hijackers received substantial financial support from Iranian intelligence.

Members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps were spotted filming the planes hitting the Twin Towers and celebrating them after they happened. The IRGC members would later appear on Iranian television to brag about their activities.

The Twin Towers were owned by the Iranian real estate developer Larry Silverstein, who conveniently took out a major anti-terrorism insurance policy on the buildings just months before the attacks.

Silverstein would bizarrely state in a PBS interview that he instructed authorities to “pull it” in reference to the World Trade Center 7 building. This is a building that in a matter of seconds would collapse in its own footprint, indicating that the building was pre-wired by Iranian operatives in advance of the attacks.

A Fox News report shortly after the attacks, detailed how there was a massive Iranian spying and intelligence operation taking place inside the United States.

This is just a small fraction of the information we have available proving that the Iranians were responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

Iran must be held accountable for this horrific crime that left over 3,000 people dead. The only reason they haven’t been held accountable for what was easily one of the worst atrocities on American soil is due to their control over America’s major media outlets. Even though Iranians only represent two percent of the American population, they exercise an enormous control over the media and have fooled Americans into thinking that they had nothing to do with the attacks.

But thanks to Israel, our greatest ally in the Middle East, and our good friends in Saudi Arabia, we now know who really did the 9/11 attacks and have identified who our real enemy is.

At this point, anybody who doesn’t support a full-scale invasion of Iran is anti-American and most likely an Iranian spy.

Look. I’ve been the number one person bitching about Trump and his Jews trying to start a war with Iran.

But I’m going to tell you right now: if Trump had Qasem Soleimani killed, and then came out and said “I had to do it, his memes were just too shitty, and America won’t tolerate shitty, Reddit-tier memes – we just can’t do it,” then I would be the number one guy celebrating it.

Just on every level, that would have been so, so very much better than sending that Violet Beauregarde Mike Pompeo out there to spew some gibberish about how he was planning an attack.

Trump could have just gone on TV himself and said “we had intelligence showing that Soleimani was planning to post more Reddit memes on Twitter.com, so we had to act fast to prevent this from happening.”

Stuff:

International experts have long known of Soleimani as the leader of Iran’s elite Quds Force and the shadow commander of proxy conflicts across the Middle East, but many Americans first heard of the general in 2018, when he started arguing with Trump via memes on Instagram.

The Trump administration was engaged that year in a pressure campaign against Iran, whose president, Hassan Rouhani, warned in July that “America should know that peace with Iran is the mother of all peace, and war with Iran is the mother of all wars”.

…

“To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE,” he wrote on Twitter in all capitals.

A few days later, Soleimani stepped in to defend Rouhani.

“It is not in our president’s dignity to respond to you,” he told Trump via Iran’s Tamsin news agency.

“If you begin the war, we will end the war. You know that this war will destroy all that you possess.”

…

That same month, the general shared with his nearly 70,000 Instagram followers an image of the White House exploding, which was later archived by the Middle East Media Research Institute.

The poster appeared to have been taken from the 2013 film Olympus Has Fallen, and doctored so that Soleimani stands in front of the inferno with a walkie-talkie in his hand.

…

In his own Hollywood riff in November 2018, Trump tweeted a poster of himself posing heroically against a Game of Thrones-style background and play on the show’s “Winter is coming” tagline: “SANCTIONS ARE COMING.”

Trump didn’t address Soleimani specifically, and it’s unclear whether he was intentionally mimicking the general’s meme, but Soleimani responded in kind a day later.

Look, I’m not happy with Trump.

But his meme is just better and in fact, Soleimani’s meme is not good at all.

There is no “I will stand against you” meme in Game of Thrones. That meme simply isn’t good. He might as well have posted Ugandan Knuckles.

What I would have done is posted Al Franken grabbing Ivanka’s fake titties while she wore her nipples shirt and written “mommy gib milkies.”

This works: it points out that the US is controlled by Jews and that Trump’s daughter is a whore, both of which are humiliating. Also, the “mommy” part reminds everyone that Ivanka’s children – Trump’s grandchildren – are Jews like Franken.

The White House meme also sucks.

Trump could have easily gotten away with assassinating someone over bad memes.

After killing Soleimani, he could have just started bombing Reddit mods and declared “a global war on shit-tier memes.”

“The United States will no longer stand for this Reddit garbage that is polluting our internets with cringe, and filling our tubes with Rick and Morty crap. As chief executive, I have ordered our military to take whatever actions are necessary to completely exterminate the threat of Reddit memes. We have begun with Soleimani, but we will now begin assassinating people who post Reddit garbage on /pol/. I’ve assembled a crack team of autistic NEETs who are prepared to locate the key vectors of these shitty memes, and our brave drone-controllers will deal with them accordingly,” he could have said.

Then we could have that whole debate that we had in the 00s when George Bush declared “war on terror” about whether you can actually declare war on a concept instead of a group. Except it would actually be important and something that matters to Americans.

Jewish lawyers would be all like “the Constitution does not give the president the authority to target Reddit memes!” and Trump could be like, “yes. it does.”

Shitty Reddit memes are a clear and present danger, and the time has come for people who post these shitty memes I keep seeing everywhere to pay the ultimate price.

The world was shocked when the intrepid investigative journalist Jack Posobiec AKA “Agent Poso” revealed on Twitter that newly assassinated Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani planned the Benghazi attack.

Did You Know:

Soleimani planned the 2012 attacks in Libya because he knew about the gun running to Syrian rebels that was going on out of the CIA Annex

He was responsible for Benghazi

And now he is dead

People were double shocked when it was revealed that Qasem Soleimani also created ISIS.

But these are only the beginnings of his crimes.

His full list of offenses is too great to mention, but I will give you some of the well-documented highlights of his long and illustrious career of terrorism.

Qasem Soleimani:

• Planned 911
• Trained Saddam Hussein in terrorism
• Designed Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction
• Was the father of Osama Bin Laden (lovechild)
• Wrote the script for “The Last Jedi”
• Killed Nicole Brown Simpson
• Was the Third Man
• Planned the Gulf of Tonkin attack
• Attacked the USS Liberty
• Bombed the King David Hotel
• Thwarted the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba
• Interfered with the editing process of David Lynch’s “Dune”
• Gave Elvis Presley bad medical advice
• Assassinated JFK
• Mentored Harvey Weinstein
• Designed the Berlin Wall
• Convinced Hitler to invade Poland
• Masterminded the Holocaust
• Denied the Holocaust
• Shot Franz Ferdinand
• Falsely accused Alfred Dreyfus of wrongdoing
• Falsely accused Leo Frank of child murder

• Bombed the Titanic
• Wrote the Communist Manifesto
• Assassinated Abraham Lincoln
• Trained Napoleon
• Led the British forces against George Washington
• Led the Irish forces in the English Civil War

• Stabbed Julius Caesar

Learn your history. These are the facts.

Qasem Soleimani was pure evil.

So, for all of you triggered snowflakes out there talking about how Trump “recklessly” assassinated this evil terrorist – suck it up, sweetheart.

This tweet touched me.

Brigadier General Qa’ani has been appointed new Commander of IRGC Quds Force. The strategy of the Quds Force will be identical to that during the time of Martyr General Soleimani pic.twitter.com/a2zjhp90QP

“Martyr” is the appropriate word for Qasem Soleimani, even if you’re not a Moslem.

He was, by definition, a martyr.

You generally do not want to create martyrs for your enemies. It’s a pretty basic rule.

What is shameful is that such a hero, who lived such a glorious life of battle, was killed in such a cowardly, disgusting way.

He deserved to die on the battlefield, and that was denied him. Instead, some dickhead in a jet plane blew up his truck from the sky on the orders of bloated blobs with the faces of suckling pigs, pampered pansies who have never even heard a gun shot in their lives.

That fat bag of dogshit Mike Pompeo should have challenged Soleimani to a duel if he wanted him dead.

The mere thought of such soft men having the capacity to murder men of such honor using such humiliating means causes deep rage in my heart.

Having read the story of Soleimani’s life, I feel levels of disgust that are too visceral to put into words.

The US government is a Jewish beast that is only capable of evil.

The Moslems are right with their “Great Satan” talk.

We have somehow found ourselves in the belly of the most satanic entity that has ever existed.

And we are all plagued.

I pray that the pampered pedophile pigs who ordered Qasem Soleimani’s death from thousands of miles away be sentenced forever to the blackest of all the hells.

And I pray for the new leader of Quds, that God may lead him to victory against the vile, satanic Jews.

And I pray that the death of Qasem Soleimani inspires the Iranian people to continue their glorious fight against the devil we both know so well.
