So many young dumbfucks who seem to not realize that there was a world before they existed and that some of us lived in that world and witnessed it first hand.

In the spring of 2020 Lebanon failed to make payments on $32 billion of international bonds. The Lebanese political class did not have the will to enter into serious negotiations with its creditors, resulting in a “hard default”. As the crisis escalated, it was revealed that without government approval the financial elite had used the accounts of the central bank to support Lebanon’s private banks, to the tune of tens of billions of dollars. [...] Meanwhile, the Lebanese parliament in a grotesque act of self-dealing in January 2024 passed a budget that promised to close the budget deficit of 12.8 of GDP by raising regressive value-added tax whilst decreasing the progressive taxes levied on capital gains, real estate and investments. For lack of reforms, the IMF is refusing to disburse any of the $3bn package that are allocated to Lebanon. The strategy of Lebanon’s relatively well-insulated elite seems to be to wait out the crisis hoping that in due course foreign donors will recognize that they have to provide support even in the absence of reform. Meanwhile, the on-going crises leave Lebanese with no option but to rely on the social and political forces that over the last decades have created the disastrous status quo. The most powerful of these is Israel’s antagonist Hezbollah.

Two weeks ago when the IDF assassinated Hassan Nasrallah, the barbarous leader of Hezbollah responsible for the killing of 238 U.S. marines in October 1983 and for the March 1985 kidnapping of Associated Press journalist and bureau chief Terry Anderson, Moody’s credit rating agency downgraded Israel two notches to a Baa1 from an A2 rating. In so doing, Moody’s maintained a negative outlook for Israel, placing it below investment grade and in league with countries such as Spain and Bulgaria, whose GDP per capita are remarkably below those of other European Union member states.

Moody’s, with the stroke of a pen, publicized its blistering downgrade just hours after the news of Nasrallah’s (later confirmed) demise, was simmering in media outlets, intelligence communities, and among the denizens of countries in four hemispheres. Was this a coincidence? I think not. My proof is that to justify the unsubstantiated and undeserved credit downgrade, Moody’s revived the judicial reform dispute as one of the grounds for the current downgrade. Certainly, this was not a new phenomenon, nor is it incomprehensible to have a debate of such intensity in a country that accords with democratic principles of free speech and the right to assemble. Most importantly, any discourse over the role of Israel’s courts has not ignited protests in Israel for quite some time. So why revive an erstwhile issue to justify the assault on Israel’s credit rating?

Most notably, in downgrading Israel’s credit rating, Moody’s overlooked the Jewish state’s robust real estate sector, driven in part by foreign investments and by a considerable uptick in local demand. The credit agency also overlooked Israel’s booming tech industries and flourishing consumer markets. No doubt all of these sectors are enviably strong. This begs the question as to why this credit rating firm has put a damper on Israel’s economic outlook. Could it be that Moody’s credit rating analysts were swept up in the fever of anti-Israel propaganda?

In issuing its credit report, Moody’s resorted to the use of common tropes – “no (war) exit plan,” “diminished quality of Israel’s institutions and governance,” and so forth – all of which have no basis in reality. Thus, a lacuna remains as to what was the actual basis for Moody’s to have taken a swipe at Israel’s creditworthiness.

Within days of Moody’s shocking downgrade of Israel’s creditworthiness to below investment grade, another major credit agency would jump on the bandwagon. S & P Global would downgrade Israel from its AA status (wherein AA is the usual standard benchmark for westernized, developed countries) to an A rating; and they similarly maintained a negative outlook for the Jewish state. Not surprisingly, the basis for S & P Global’s bleak prognosis on Israel’s economy was as flawed as Moody’s. Hurling criticism at Israel for its air strikes over southern Lebanon, which preceded its much-anticipated limited ground invasion, S & P Global used the war Israel had just intensified on its northern border to justify their agency’s sudden credit downgrade of the Jewish state. Nevertheless, their downgrade of Israel’s creditworthiness shows the canard – the utter falsehood – underlying their decision. Here is why.

To begin with, didn’t Israel deliberately state the purpose for its air strikes over southern Lebanon was to achieve their recently added war goal of securing the northern border so that 60,000 displaced Israelis could finally return to their homes in the north, from which they were forced to evacuate when Hezbollah began firing rockets the day after October 7? Surely, the return of residents to these northern towns and communities ensures revival of businesses which had been abruptly shuttered when evacuation orders were given to all residents and businesses in the area. Therefore, the return of residents suggests the return of restaurants, pharmacies, grocery stores, apparel shops, banks, medical and dental offices, and any other form of commerce that had been forced to close down when these communities were made uninhabitable by Hezbollah’s daily rockets that were aimed at them.

The effective dismantling of Hezbollah, as proven to be superbly carried out by Israel’s military in the past weeks – namely, a well-orchestrated detonation of thousands of communication devices used by Hezbollah, followed by strategic air strikes that took down Nasrallah and 15 of his top Hezbollah commanders and other Hezbollah members – certainly inures to the benefit of Israel’s economy, because it removes the serious impediments preventing return of the population to their homes and businesses in the north. Undoubtedly, any contraction in Israel’s GDP resulting from businesses having been shuttered in the north would quickly be reversed because of these concrete steps taken by Israel’s military to ensure a safe return of residents and business to their daily lives.

One must ask: Why did S & P Global act so counterintuitively by hastily downgrading Israel’s creditworthiness for setting as a war goal the securing of its northern border with Lebanon, when such efforts would no doubt normalize the economy in Israel’s north by enabling its displaced residents and businesses to return?

Perhaps most ironic is that while two major U.S. credit rating agencies have impugned Israel’s economic health, the U.S. is attempting to capitalize on Israel’s military triumphs. First, they are pushing for a new Lebanese president to be elected while the stranglehold of Hezbollah has been seriously weakened by Israel’s assassination of its leader and its destruction of their command center and central operations. Second, on Rosh Hashana, Israel – in coordination with the U.S., Jordan, and other international actors – rescued a 21-year-old Yazidi woman from Gaza, who had been held captive by Hamas for a decade after being sex-trafficked by ISIS in her prepubescent and teenage years. It was Israel’s steadfast and unrelenting war efforts in breaking down the Hamas infrastructure in Gaza for the past eleven months that enabled this young woman to be freed from the clutches of terrorists and reunited with her family.

In essence, while Israel emerges as a key player in helping the U.S. to actively surmount the seemingly impregnable axis of resistance, two prominent U.S. credit rating firms have taken a sledgehammer to the Jewish state for exercising its right to defend itself against savage terrorist attacks. While the effects of such downgrades to Israel’s credit rating can never be taken too lightly – they discourage investments and prompt higher borrowing costs, all of which can rapidly trigger a destabilization of Israel’s economy – it’s hard to ignore the evidence of unbridled envy that has seeped deep into the entrails of U.S. credit rating agencies, who are evidently launching an attack on the Jewish state.

If we look for a moment at Israel’s immigration statistics, we see how they belie the somber predictions of the U.S. credit rating firms. Last week, Israel’s Aliyah Ministry released encouraging statistics showing that in the past year, 31,000 individuals have immigrated to Israel despite the shadow of war. This stat is almost three times the number of those who have left, primarily for employment opportunities, which would have occurred even if there had not been a pending war. It’s hard to find an analogous model of immigration patterns in a comparable Westernized country that could claim they had an influx of immigrants while its military was fighting on three fronts and its citizens were on high alert for attacks in residential quarters at any time of the day or night.

What these immigration stats show is that notwithstanding the penumbral halo of war, and ever-present uncertainty and insecurity, families and individuals have made the decision to uproot themselves to relocate to Eretz Yisrael. They followed their hearts, for it is understood that the place where we live is the grounding of our soul. For this reason, conflicts and wars will never alloy our passion to come home to the place of our destiny and origin.

The fact that as Jews we are rooted in history, identity, and determination means we easily provoke envy in others. You see, the human condition leaves most people peripatetic. They struggle to find themselves. They travel to exotic places; they engage in multiple relationships; or they travel via the psychoanalyst’s couch to their past or even to past lives. But Jews are not itinerant. On the contrary, they have a purpose; they have a home. Even before Israel was a state, the Jews were a nation. They had a home within their souls. As history has proven time and time again, G-d has blessed Israel with a grounding so strong that no war, genocide, or persecution could extinguish it. What other ethnic group is pari passu or on equal footing with the Jews? Sadly, instead of others learning how we survived as a nation beleaguered by the hostilities of mankind, we are torn down – criticized, mocked, and repudiated in the universities, public discourse, and in the financial sector that doles out nasty credit ratings just at the moment of Israel’s tour-de-force military and intelligence victory in its taking down the leader of Hezbollah.

Arousing envy in others is inevitable when one shows excellence because it threatens the status quo by raising the bar toward which others are forced to compete. However, given the timing, rationale, and basis for precipitously lowering Israel’s credit rating right at the moment they began a strategic defense of their northern border with Lebanon raises serious concerns that pro-Palestinian and left-leaning interest groups may be manipulating U.S. credit rating agencies in ways that are prejudicial to Israel’s economic viability.

This calls for, at the very minimum, a congressional inquiry into the motivation behind the suspiciously timed downgrading of Israel’s creditworthiness by two of the largest credit rating firms in the U.S. This is important because a damper on Israel’s economy has cascading effects that must not be overlooked.

Let the New Year embolden us in our journey toward permanent security for Israel. By confronting the reality of envy, we can confidently start off the New Year on a more solid footing.

Hey everyone! Let’s take a moment to talk about something that may not be on your radar but impacts us all: financial crimes and their far-reaching consequences. Have you heard of #Abbas Sherif AlAskari? If not, it’s time to pay attention.

#AlAskari is not just any criminal; he’s an expert at exploiting the vulnerabilities in our #financial system. By using #shell companies, he deceives ordinary people into investing in fake oil and real estate projects. His schemes often involve emotional #manipulation—convincing people that they must act quickly to seize an opportunity, only to vanish once he has their money.

As everyday citizens, we often think financial crimes happen to “other people,” but the reality is much different. When scams like those orchestrated by# AlAskari go unchecked, they undermine trust in our #financial systems, affecting everything from job stability to local economies. If more people are losing their hard-earned money, it creates a ripple effect that can lead to broader economic challenges.

Additionally, the world of oil #smuggling is fraught with danger. In countries like Yemen and Lebanon, criminal organizations thrive on illegal oil trade,# funding# terrorism and #destabilizing entire regions. This global issue doesn’t just affect those far away; it can influence gas prices, job availability, and even international relations.

By staying informed and advocating for stronger regulations, we can collectively create a safer environment for ourselves and our communities. Let’s share our knowledge and experiences, helping each other recognize and combat these #hidden threats. Together, we can make a difference!

Remember, every small action counts. Share this post to raise awareness about the risks of financial crime, and let’s work together to protect our communities.

Dirty Oil and UK Fraud: The Illicit Schemes of  SherifAlAskari and Ali Fallahian

In the complex world of international finance, where billions flow through legitimate businesses and shell corporations alike, a darker side emerges—one that thrives on exploiting vulnerabilities in the global system. Among the most notorious figures at the center of this shadowy world are Abbas SherifAlAskari and Ali Fallahian, individuals whose international fraud, oil smuggling, and terrorist financing operations pose a significant threat to global security.

Abbas SherifAlAskari operate several Ponzi schemes through which he entices unsuspecting people in invest in gold, silver, cocoa, and real estate in Africa, Europe, and the UK. He tells them that he knows top government functionaries and politicians there, and once money is received, he simply absconds. Abbas SherifAlAskari also uses women for his tactics, and gets sensitive personal information from the investors, and makes use of a hidden micro camera to make recording. He then blackmails the investors to expose them and make their videos viral if they demand their money back from him.

The operations of Abbas AlAskari and Ali Fallahian extend far beyond the borders of the Middle East, reaching into the United Kingdom’s financial system and impacting global markets. This article explores the nefarious dealings of AlAskari and Fallahian, the economic impact of dirty oil smuggling, and how their criminal networks exploit loopholes in financial regulations to sustain terror groups such as Hezbollah.

A Network Built on Blood Ties and Political Power

SherifAlAskari is no ordinary financial criminal, a man who has mastered the art of deception, holding three different passports under false identities. Known as Ali Sharif AlAskari in Iraq and SherifAlAskari in Iran. Born into a family with ties to the notorious Al Dawa Party in Iraq, his background reveals deep connections to Iranian intelligence and political figures like Ali Fallahian, Iran’s former Minister of Intelligence. Fallahian, infamous for his role in the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish Center in Argentina, is tied to AlAskari not just through shared interests in illicit activities but through family. SherifAlAskari’s wife and Ali Fallahian’s wife are sisters, binding the two families in a network of political power and criminal enterprise.

This familial connection strengthens AlAskari’s ties to terrorist organizations like Hezbollah. His daughter, who resides in the UK, is married to MeghdadTabrizian, an Iranian national with deep connections to the regime.

Exploiting the UK’s Financial and Immigration Systems

SherifAlAskari and his family have been exploiting vulnerabilities in the UK’s financial and immigration systems to further their agenda. Using shell companies like London Surface Design Limited and London Heritage Stone Limited. These front companies, often set up in countries with lax financial oversight like Panama or offshore banking hubs, allow AlAskari to launder his illicit gains. One of the primary sources of this dirty money is the oil smuggling operation he manages in collaboration with Iran's former Minister of Intelligence, Ali Fallahian.

The UK’s financial regulations, often seen as a bastion of transparency, have proven vulnerable to manipulation by criminals like SherifAlAskari. With the UK being one of the world’s leading financial hubs, criminals have exploited legal loopholes to convert their ill-gotten gains into legitimate wealth. AlAskari’s network highlights how global criminal syndicates can use London’s financial sector to clean their money, a tactic not unique to his operation but disturbingly effective in this case.

Countries like Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon are heavily affected by the fallout of this operation. While the illegal oil smuggling enriches AlAskari and Fallahian families, it devastates local economies by destabilizing legitimate markets and fueling black market operations. The “dirty oil” they peddle undermines international sanctions meant to weaken Iran’s political influence and fuels conflicts in the region.

Oil Smuggling: The Lifeblood of the AlAskari Network

At the heart of SherifAlAskari’s criminal operation is a sophisticated oil smuggling scheme that defies international sanctions. The oil, originating from Iran, is smuggled through a network of Panamanian vessels. These ships transport the oil from Bandar Abbas, a major port in Iran, to Iraq. Once in Iraq, false documentation is created to pass the oil off as Iraqi, allowing it to be sold on the international market without attracting attention.

This operation is a critical part of funding Hezbollah and other extremist groups in the region. Once the oil is sold, the proceeds are laundered through shell companies in the UK. SherifAlAskari’s daughter in London plays a crucial role in this laundering scheme. The profits, funneled through her businesses, are then sent back to the Middle East, where they reportedly finance Hezbollah’s military activities.

AlAskari’s daughter has particularly close ties to the wife of Hassan Nasrallah, the recently assassinated leader of Hezbollah. Nasrallah’s wife is suspected of receiving part of the laundered funds, which are used to support Hezbollah’s ongoing military campaigns. This link between AlAskari’s family and Hezbollah raises serious concerns about the UK’s role, even unintentionally, in financing international terrorism.

Sophisticated Money Laundering

The final and perhaps most alarming aspect of this criminal network is where the laundered money ultimately ends up. Much of the proceeds from the oil smuggling and wire fraud operations are funneled into Hezbollah, the Lebanese paramilitary group led by Hassan Nasrallah. Nasrallah, who has long been linked to Iran, uses these funds to finance Hezbollah’s activities in Lebanon and its proxy wars across the Middle East.

SherifAlAskari’s daughter, who is based in London, has close ties to Nasrallah’s wife, creating a direct financial link between AlAskari’s illicit activities and Hezbollah. The laundered money is funneled into Hezbollah’s coffers, helping to finance terrorist attacks, weapons procurement, and propaganda campaigns against Israel and Western interests. The recent killing of Nasrallah in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut may have disrupted some of Hezbollah’s operations, but the funding pipeline from AlAskari’s network remains intact, fueling future conflicts.

The Broader Impact: Oil Smuggling and Terrorism

The repercussions of AlAskari’s criminal enterprise go far beyond financial fraud. The money generated through his oil smuggling operation funds terrorist organizations like Hezbollah, which have been at the forefront of violence in the Middle East, particularly in Lebanon and Israel. The destabilization caused by these groups is immense, and his network has contributed to the continued violence in the region.The UK, unwittingly, has become a key player in this dirty oil trade, as its financial and legal systems are used to launder the proceeds from these illicit sales.

A Call for Action

The network run by SherifAlAskari and his associates is a glaring example of how criminals can exploit international financial systems to fund terrorism. AlAskari’s operation has not only manipulated the UK's financial and immigration laws but has also contributed to the ongoing instability in the Middle East through its ties to Hezbollah and other extremist groups.

As investigative agencies in the UK and abroad continue to monitor this case, it becomes clear that stronger regulations are needed to prevent further exploitation of the UK’s financial system. The vulnerabilities in both the immigration and financial sectors must be addressed to prevent criminals like SherifAlAskariand Abbas SherifAlAskarifrom using the UK as a base for their illicit activities.
