Gene's Footnotes

I have never been impressed by the messenger and always inspect the message, which I now understand is not the norm. People prefer to filter out discordant information. As such, I am frequently confronted with, "Where did you hear that...." Well, here you go. If you want an email version, send me an email.

CAVEAT: HAVLISH v BIN LADEN et al

U.S. District Judge George B. Daniels, SDNY, recently issued his "Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law" regarding a class action against Iran. 


This analysis is the conclusion of years of research and the gathering of evidence; there is no spin and all is documented.  The decision is essential reading for all Americans. It is fifty three pages long and must be reviewed. There is no sloughing this one off. 

The evidence included affidavits and sworn testimony from several individuals:
  • Ten expert witnesses such as three former 9/11 Commission staff members, two former CIA officers, two investigative journalists, an Iran analyst who testified in 25 other cases of Iranian terrorism
  • Three Iranian operatives and defectors
  • Abolghasem Mesbahi, former operative in charge of Iran’s espionage in Western Europe

The conclusion of law is that the U.S. District Court has found and documents that Iran is at war with the United States and was the hub of all the activity behind 9-11. The finding documents that stated goal of Iran is undermine the economic structures and institutions of the United States and Israel. 

Judge Daniels stated that “the Islamic Republic of Iran, its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Hosseini Khamenei, former Iranian president Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, and Iran’s agencies and instrumentalities, including, among others, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security, and Iran’s terrorist proxy Hezbollah, all materially aided and supported Al Qaeda before and after 9/11.”

The finding of facts is not reviewed by an appeal court, which may review matters of law. 


Judge Daniels has held Iran vicariously liable for the acts of its agents regarding the 9-11 attack, making it liable in a significant class action.


Of note, Irans inflation rate is now 21%, so they may understand blowback from the Iranian position.

Now, have you heard of this case? 


Think about that. A federal court has spent nearly eight years working through the evidence and using non-hearsay evidence has determined that Iran is at war with us and assisted in attacks, including the murder of 3,000 people.  This is not a report from Israel or Princeton, sorry, the State Department. This is not from Rick Santorum.  This is from a sophisticated court that took evidence open to cross examination and made findings of fact in a law suit. The finding of vicarious liability by a country is very unusual.  


Our president wants to talk to Iran to make friends. 


The media ignores the matter.  The Iranian people are in the crosshairs that their leaders have created using their 750 AD political logic. 


Send this report to everyone you can.
