Out Of The Rubble A New Leader

It is confirmed that the Iranian leader has been killed and now the speculation on who will lead Iran in this time of war.

Now we have an answer to that probing question….

Iran’s powerful clerical body is moving toward a dynastic handoff at the very top. Three Iranian officials who spoke to the New York Times say Mojtaba Khamenei, the 56-year-old son of slain supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has emerged as the leading candidate to inherit his father’s post after meetings of the Assembly of Experts on Tuesday. An announcement could come as soon as Wednesday, though some clerics reportedly worry that naming him now would make him an even bigger target for the US and Israel. CNN reported over the weekend that “father-to-son succession is frowned upon in the Shiite Muslim clerical establishment and particularly in a revolutionary Iran that came about after toppling a widely reviled monarchy.”

But Mojtaba, long influential but rarely seen, is closely aligned with the Islamic Revolutionary Guards, and the officials say the Guard is strongly backing him as the safest pair of hands in a crisis. Analysts say his selection would signal dominance by Iran’s most hard-line security forces, though a Tehran-based commentator predicts a backlash from parts of the public already angered by the regime’s lethal crackdown on protesters. Two other finalists, cleric Alireza Arafi and revolution founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s grandson Seyed Hassan Khomeini, are viewed as relative moderates. One political ally has argued Mojtaba could surprise as a reform-minded figure, likening his potential role to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s—while others, including President Trump, warn Iran could simply end up with a leader as tough as the last.

Another hard core extremist to take the reins of government.

Now the question will be will this succession be for the good or the bad?

Will the Shia faithful accept this succession from father to son which is not something that is done with Shia religious leaders?

And the waiting begins.

Onward ‘Christian Soldiers’

So much twaddle!

We all know about the war that Donny and his merry band of a/holes have started with Iran and the blogs and news has been full of the reports but he best rhetoric comes from the dumb asses around Pistol Pete….

Now the religious zealots within the government are framing this conflict as some sort of ‘holy war’ (seriously?)…..at least some are nolt finding this terminology proper….

Some US service members say their commanders are casting the new conflict with Iran as a prelude to the apocalypse. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation reports receiving upward of 110 complaints since fighting began on Saturday, alleging that officers in every branch have framed the campaign as part of a “divine plan” leading to the Second Coming of Christ, per Raw Story, citing original reporting by journalist Jonathan Larsen. The complaints, from more than 40 units at roughly 30 military installations, describe what MRFF founder Mikey Weinstein calls an atmosphere of “unrestricted euphoria” among some leaders who see the war as biblically mandated.

One noncommissioned officer’s written complaint shared with Larsen says a combat unit commander opened a Monday readiness briefing by telling NCOs not to fear operations in Iran because they were “all part of God’s divine plan.” The commander allegedly cited the Book of Revelation, referenced Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus, and claimed that “President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran” to trigger those events. The NCO wrote that the statements “destroy morale and unit cohesion,” calling the comments “toxic and over the line.”

Weinstein argues that such messaging violates constitutional church-state separation and the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which bars using official military authority to promote religion. Larsen notes that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has long associated with Christian nationalist leaders, including pastor Ralph Drollinger, who teaches that God rewards nations that back Israel and punishes those that oppose it.

he complainant says troops in their support unit feel forced to endure their commander’s “Armageddon views” and believe he thinks the entire chain of command backs him. The Cradle notes that the report syncs “with a pattern of senior US figures framing geopolitical policy through explicitly biblical narratives,” including Mike Huckabee claiming last month that Israel has a “biblical right” to a huge tract of territory that spans from “the Nile in Egypt to the Euphrates in Iraq.” More here from Larsen.

This is what we get when we allow morons to run the government….personally I do not give shit on Petey boy’s beliefs….they have NO place in government.

Besides is this not the same rhetoric that we condemned from Muslims and their ‘holy war’?

Jesus’ return?  How many times has that idiotic statement been made to justify stupid?

Stop using your religious ‘beliefs’ to justify and illegal act of war.

This country will be better when these twats keep their religious BS to themselves.
