Uh-Oh: Khamenei Telling Advisors He Met Hidden Imam, Will Appear Before He Dies

Hi waitress, I’ll take a well-done hamburger with a side order of Xanax, please. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has out-crazied Ahmadinejad, who only wrote letters to the Hidden Imam in the Jamkaran well and said he was guided by God in preparing the way for the Imam’s intervention. According to a senior cleric, Khamenei is telling his inner circle that he has actually met the Hidden Imam and that he promised to appear during Khamenei’s tenure as Supreme Leader. Yikes.

I can only think of three reasons that Khamenei would tell his advisors this:

1) He’s lying, and he’s just attempting to sooth the fears of his closest advisors by trying to convince them that divine intervention is on the way.

2) He’s lying and he’s trying to instill confidence in his inner circle ahead of a major war that will usher in the appearance of the Hidden Imam who will bring them victory.

3) He actually believes he met the Hidden Imam, perhaps under the influence of the opium he is widely rumored to being treated with. Khamenei is greatly emboldened and believes war is imminent with an inevitable Shiite Islamic victory.

Two out of the three scenarios involve a belief that war is imminent—a war that, despite all the odds, the Iranians can’t lose because God is going to save the day. And that’s how they differ from the Soviets—the Soviets didn’t even believe in God. The Iranian regime believes in God and is certain that this messianic figure is going to win the final grand war over Islam’s enemies during the End Times, in which we are living.

Well I don't believe a "former" marxist who spent spent much of his life in the forefront to to bring this country down. And his becoming a corporatist now doesn't instill any confidence in me for him either.

And what the hell do you mean by this?

You are afraid of the bogeymen Jews, aren’t you?

Are you posting drunk? Are you anti-Jewish? Are you saying neo conservatism is a Jewish movement? Where do you get such nonsense?

Would I indulge in the idea that a neo conservative might lie to further that political entities idea that perpetual war was in the best interests of a nation?

Yeah.

This story from Whoreowitz? Why should I believe anything this leftist pos prints?>>>>>>>>

He has a good track record of repudiating his former leftism. He is widely published as a conservative and has done more for conservatism than you and me. If you are correct then he sure did a lot for conservatism while concealing some inner duplicity

So you nailed Horowitz on something that he did in 1972 that he has publicly admitted, confessed to and is ashamed of. I have no problem in forgiveness here

You think Iran is a big nothing? How about the Muslim takeover of Europe via immigration, out breeeding and demographics? You think that is a mirage too?

Well I've been taking opiods, first tramadol (a synthetic) then whatever they put in my IV, and now morphine sulfate, and hydrocodone (for breakthrough pain) for a couple of months now.

I never spoke with any Hidden Imam or even Elvis or Roy Rodgers.

But I have had some cool, if weird, "daydreams".

it took a wus like Chamberlain to lead the brits to Churchill. Obama may be our Chamberlain.

The problem being that since we are not a parliamentary system, we'll be stuck with him until the next election, rather than him losing a "no confidence" vote and resigning.
