Here is an under the radar story for you. I learned via one of my email newsletters that an Iranian terrorist was working for the Federal Aviation Industry, or as many call it, The FAA. FAA Contractor Pleads Guilty To Spying For Iran. Emphasis mine:
In August 2017, Rahmati offered his services to the Iranian government through a senior Iranian government official who previously worked in Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security and with whom Rahmati had previously attended university. Four months later, in December 2017, Rahmati traveled to Iran, where he met with Iranian intelligence operatives and government officials and agreed to obtain information about the U.S. solar energy industry, to provide that information to Iranian officials, and to conduct future communications under a cover story based on purported discussions about research with fellow academics.
Rahmati previously was an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) 1st Lt., a branch of the Iranian Armed Forces, from June 2009 to May 2010. The IRGC is a designated terrorist group by the U.S. government. The DOJ said Rahmati offered his services to Iran in August 2017 through a former colleague who was a senior Iranian government official who previously worked at the country’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security. Rahmati traveled to Iran four months later and met with intelligence operatives and government officials, the DOJ said. He also agreed to gather and provide Iranian officials with information about the solar industry in the U.S.
Rahmati provided information “relating to solar energy, solar panels, the FAA, U.S. airports, and U.S. air traffic control towers” to his brother in Iran, which was then provided to government officials. He also at one point provided information related to “the National Aerospace System (NAS), Airport Surveillance Radar systems, and radio frequency data.” In early 2018, Rahmati obtained private and open-source materials related to the U.S. solar industry, then provided them to the office of Iran’s Vice President for Science and Technology.
As I was reading this I have to admit I could feel my blood boiling. I was ready to scream at my screen like Gunnery Sgt. Hartman in Full Metal Jacket asking why Pvt. Pyle was out of his bunk (warning: for anyone who hasn’t seen FMJ, the scene gets brutal quickly):
How is a Terrorist being allowed into the US? Who hired a terrorist and gave i=him access t sensitive information?!? WHY IS NOBODY STOMPING THIS TERRORIST’S GUTS OUT?!?!?!
This is just such a bizarre, random story that I’m amazed that it isn’t getting more attention.
Dear Commanding General John Roberts:
When does the President of the United States have your permission to resume his military operation to deport the most dangerous terrorists in the Western Hemisphere?
Or do you want the President to ship them to the Chevy Chase Country Club?

“General Roberts” is one of a thousand deeds done by GWB that validated my NOT VOTING FOR HIM! Bush is the. acme ( I watched Roadrunner in college; actually learned some things.) of UNIPARTY liars!
Not voting “W” was almost as good as voting GHWB was bad. I SAID ALMOST! GHWB was far and away the worst thing I ever did.
