reawakeningtheafrikangenius Our people have been thoroughly brainwashed to believe Black parenting values are negative.
When you say we need a return to old Black parenting values, Immediately you hear many of our people say I don’t want to go back to them beatings we used to get or they reflect on other trauma, resentment and anger they feel towards their parents and somehow it leads many parents thinking white liberal, hippie practices which have never produced high academic performance and definitely never developed good character in their own children or ours are somehow better.
This idea that our families only transmit trauma and generational curses is disastrous and if not undone soon will create serious long term problems for our people in the near future.
White supremacy as a term is thrown around so much now it has very little meaning but thinking white people are better at raising our children or are the experts is white supremacy. Liberal white supremacy. The psychology in many of the schools our children attend is white liberal psychology that see our boys and girls as threats and mentally inferior. They allow excuses to be made and expectations are very low. This is criminal. The children are labeled young and the adults are brainwashed to believe in this deficit model used on our children.
Schools should be based on the psychology of Amos Wilson, Naim Akbar, Mawiyah Kambon, Malcolm X, Asa G. Hilliard, Linda James Meyers and other Black psychologists.

Peace and Love, Black Family! As a current mental health professional, I never would deny that Black people have mental health issues. We all have family and friends suffering from Bipolar disorder, Schizophrenia, Major Depressive disorder, Schizoaffective disorder, Antisocial Personality disorder, PTSD, and Intellectual disabilities. If the disorder exists, we have them! However, I’m going to boldly assert that we DO NOT have mental health issues just because. Black people HAVE White people issues, and from those White people issues we now have mental health issues. Yes, we NOW have mental health issues! They have mixed their blood with ours. They have fed us their poisonous foods. They have inoculated our babies. They have psychologically traumatized our ancestors from their arrival in the Western Hemisphere. We have had to adapt to a race of psychopaths & sociopaths! Rather than address the real problem in the room, we’ve thrown temporal solutions at the field of mental health! And as usual, they have the solutions to the problems they’ve caused! If you think you need therapy, consider reading a book by Dr. Amos Wilson, Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, and or Dr. Naim Akbar! You’ll quickly discover that you probably don’t have a mental issue, just a mental issue that comes from having an unresolved White people issue! GET ON CODE. STAY ON CODE.🩸💣🔫✊🏾 BLACK POWER! #blackpower #blacklove #blackman #blackwoman #empowerment #blackrevolution #raceonly #blackpeopleonly #black #revolutionary #power #truth #knowledge #blackconsciousness #blackpower #blackqueen #blackunity #blacknationalism #african #panafrican #blackpeople #blackowned #malikismindful https://www.instagram.com/p/CpvM43-uGcoMXC08ejJMVp4o0i9bNtRsiYHHl40/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Syair Perahu
Inilah gerangan suatu madah
mengarangkan syair terlalu indah,
membetuli jalan tempat berpindah,
di sanalah i’tikat diperbetuli sudah
Wahai muda kenali dirimu,
ialah perahu tamsil tubuhmu,
tiadalah berapa lama hidupmu,
ke akhirat jua kekal diammu.
Hai muda arif-budiman,
hasilkan kemudi dengan pedoman,
alat perahumu jua kerjakan,
itulah jalan membetuli insan.
Perteguh jua alat perahumu,
hasilkan bekal air dan kayu,
dayung pengayuh taruh di situ,
supaya laju perahumu itu
Sudahlah hasil kayu dan ayar,
angkatlah pula sauh dan layar,
pada beras bekal jantanlah taksir,
niscaya sempurna jalan yang kabir.
Perteguh jua alat perahumu,
muaranya sempit tempatmu lalu,
banyaklah di sana ikan dan hiu,
menanti perahumu lalu dari situ.
Muaranya dalam, ikanpun banyak,
di sanalah perahu karam dan rusak,
karangnya tajam seperti tombak
ke atas pasir kamu tersesak.
Ketahui olehmu hai anak dagang
riaknya rencam ombaknya karang
ikanpun banyak datang menyarang
hendak membawa ke tengah sawang.
Muaranya itu terlalu sempit,
di manakan lalu sampan dan rakit
jikalau ada pedoman dikapit,
sempurnalah jalan terlalu ba’id.
Baiklah perahu engkau perteguh,
hasilkan pendapat dengan tali sauh,
anginnya keras ombaknya cabuh,
pulaunya jauh tempat berlabuh.
Lengkapkan pendarat dan tali sauh,
derasmu banyak bertemu musuh,
selebu rencam ombaknya cabuh,
La ilaha illallahu akan tali yang teguh.
Barang siapa bergantung di situ,
teduhlah selebu yang rencam itu
pedoman betuli perahumu laju,
selamat engkau ke pulau itu.
La ilaha illallahu jua yang engkau ikut,
di laut keras dan topan ribut,
hiu dan paus di belakang menurut,
pertetaplah kemudi jangan terkejut.
Laut Silan terlalu dalam,
di sanalah perahu rusak dan karam,
sungguhpun banyak di sana menyelam,
larang mendapat permata nilam.
Laut Silan wahid al kahhar,
riaknya rencam ombaknya besar,
anginnya songsongan membelok sengkar
perbaik kemudi jangan berkisar.
Itulah laut yang maha indah,
ke sanalah kita semuanya berpindah,
hasilkan bekal kayu dan juadah
selamatlah engkau sempurna musyahadah.
Silan itu ombaknya kisah,
banyaklah akan ke sana berpindah,
topan dan ribut terlalu ‘azamah,
perbetuli pedoman jangan berubah.
Laut Kulzum terlalu dalam,
ombaknya muhit pada sekalian alam
banyaklah di sana rusak dan karam,
perbaiki na’am, siang dan malam.
Ingati sungguh siang dan malam,
lautnya deras bertambah dalam,
anginpun keras, ombaknya rencam,
ingati perahu jangan tenggelam.
Jikalau engkau ingati sungguh,
angin yang keras menjadi teduh
tambahan selalu tetap yang cabuh
selamat engkau ke pulau itu berlabuh.
Sampailah ahad dengan masanya,
datanglah angin dengan paksanya,
belajar perahu sidang budimannya,
berlayar itu dengan kelengkapannya.
Wujud Allah nama perahunya,
ilmu Allah akan [dayungnya]
iman Allah nama kemudinya,
“yakin akan Allah” nama pawangnya.
“Taharat dan istinja’” nama lantainya,
“kufur dan masiat” air ruangnya,
tawakkul akan Allah jurubatunya
tauhid itu akan sauhnya.
Salat akan nabi tali bubutannya,
istigfar Allah akan layarnya,
“Allahu Akbar” nama anginnya,
subhan Allah akan lajunya.
“Wallahu a’lam” nama rantaunya,
“iradat Allah” nama bandarnya,
“kudrat Allah” nama labuhannya,
“surga jannat an naim nama negerinya.
Karangan ini suatu madah,
mengarangkan syair tempat berpindah,
di dalam dunia janganlah tam’ah,
di dalam kubur berkhalwat sudah.
Kenali dirimu di dalam kubur,
badan seorang hanya tersungkur
dengan siapa lawan bertutur?
di balik papan badan terhancur.
Di dalam dunia banyaklah mamang,
ke akhirat jua tempatmu pulang,
janganlah disusahi emas dan uang,
itulah membawa badan terbuang.
Tuntuti ilmu jangan kepalang,
di dalam kubur terbaring seorang,
Munkar wa Nakir ke sana datang,
menanyakan jikalau ada engkau sembahyang.
Tongkatnya lekat tiada terhisab,
badanmu remuk siksa dan azab,
akalmu itu hilang dan lenyap,
(baris ini tidak terbaca)
Munkar wa Nakir bukan kepalang,
suaranya merdu bertambah garang,
tongkatnya besar terlalu panjang,
cabuknya banyak tiada terbilang.
Kenali dirimu, hai anak dagang!
di balik papan tidur telentang,
kelam dan dingin bukan kepalang,
dengan siapa lawan berbincang?
La ilaha illallahu itulah firman,
Tuhan itulah pergantungan alam sekalian,
iman tersurat pada hati insap,
siang dan malam jangan dilalaikan.
La ilaha illallahu itu terlalu nyata,
tauhid ma’rifat semata-mata,
memandang yang gaib semuanya rata,
lenyapkan ke sana sekalian kita.
La ilaha illallahu itu janganlah kaupermudah-mudah,
sekalian makhluk ke sana berpindah,
da’im dan ka’im jangan berubah,
khalak di sana dengan La ilaha illallahu.
La ilaha illallahu itu jangan kaulalaikan,
siang dan malam jangan kau sunyikan,
selama hidup juga engkau pakaikan,
Allah dan rasul juga yang menyampaikan.
La ilaha illallahu itu kata yang teguh,
memadamkan cahaya sekalian rusuh,
jin dan syaitan sekalian musuh,
hendak membawa dia bersungguh-sungguh.
La ilaha illallahu itu kesudahan kata,
tauhid ma’rifat semata-mata.
hapuskan hendak sekalian perkara,
hamba dan Tuhan tiada berbeda.
La ilaha illallahu itu tempat mengintai,
medan yang kadim tempat berdamai,
wujud Allah terlalu bitai,
siang dan malam jangan bercerai.
La ilaha illallahu itu tempat musyahadah,
menyatakan tauhid jangan berubah,
sempurnalah jalan iman yang mudah,
pertemuan Tuhan terlalu susah.

I plan to
Someone put me on to the commodification of black culture and espionage, and I revisit old lectures from the 90s and early 2000s and things line up to show how the infrastructure of the sector involving self-development started by carnegie Hall and earl nightenhale pipelined subculture and subgenre of archetypes into caricatures, it is a method that cia use called behavioral modification
The methodology is outlined in a document available for anyone interested
To the lectures that speak to these topics, sirius times media on YouTube has that
To the scholarship I've gathered thus far, there is documentation available on the government website, mk ultra and documentaries on the subject matter on YouTube
Bobby Hemmitt and A. A. Rashid touch on these matters as well, in regards to the mental health and commodity of black culture that has been constructed by outsiders, for a more critical insight into these things discussed by many others
Sister Zul is a master teacher from Newark, New Jersey who offers her insights and observations on this construction of demographics, to what speaks to the level of influence of music that denotes what has been part of being able to observe confluences
"hater bitches marry hater niggas and have hater kids", to this degree of how archetypes are adopted, Carl Jung has literature on this, where people adapt to images and identify with that to symbolize characteristics and traits, to that end, there is also the book on signs and symbols, to that extent of how the sector of business exploits this, the industry that offers relationship advice and psychology are determining factors to keep people in those communities who trauma bond to those psychoacoustics remain in a biofeedback loop, to this there is academia touching on this polarity:
Post traumatic slave disorder by joy degruy is one
Breaking the chains of psychological slavery by naim Akbar is another
As the gender politics, spiritual community, and new age spirituality have become cults, the book that is anti-thesis to that is, combatting cult mind control by Steven hassan
To part & parcel to how the funnel of netizens falling into these transhumanistic movements of being against one another, "chaos & cyber culture" by dr. Timothy leary ph. D., he is one of the people who sat with cia agents to discuss the automation of online activity
Alan Watts, Jiddu Krishnamurti, and Terrence McKenna are also people who speak about how computers will be built to outpace humanity, as they were put at the frontlines to influence such, as the book that speaks to this is in "mind control in the United States" by Steven Jacobson as mass media has made for mass followings, what began in the 90's to blackplanet, paxed, crushspot, and other social media platforms priming the earlier generation to make way for the next, as the crack epidemic was only an aspect of destablilizing black families
Strategies to demoralizing a group of people is a covert operation, the book "art of war" and military pdf files can inform many on how that goes and went and what has come to be the conditioning of this generation and the one who has come after sharing memes about normalization, as normalizing is another mind control technique, to this degree, the book speaking to that is, "the unseen hand" by A. Ralph epperson, there is also an interview with a kgb agent who reveals this stuff circulating on the web to anyone interested in searching that out, and to that extent, there is a documentaty titled, "double talk"
Double talk is used in politics to exact layered speech that is stacked to not actually give solutions but rhetoric, a feedback loop nuanced to how Governor, mayors, presidents, and other elects speak to keep people in line with a belief system
Belief systems are another form of mind control, especially for people who have suffered deep trauma, as to traumatize is another technique to induce susceptibility in believing as belief is a controlled to influence others, what agents are taught to persuade others and why social media has influencers, the unseen hand, to that effect, the book "new world order" by a Ralph epperson addresses that
In offering this much, people should read, "the power of now" by eckhartt tolle on the chapter involving the topic of the pain body, as that connects with how consumers get stuck in the cycle of consuming content involving attachment styles and trauma bonding, as this is what is constructing the mind set of the current generation
Trilateralism by Holly Skar is why I mention the infrastructure of both relationships and spirituality creating the archetypes that feed the hostility bred by black men and women, as animus and anima are jungian types from experimental psychology to induce a populous and the popular underpinning of making status quo
Experimental psychology is discussed in lectures by Dr. Phil Valentine, a brotha, and there are also books available on this as well
Eugenics is a form of experimental psychology, to impact and impose the idea of interracial dating, as swirling is a sector that is a business of mixing, to why there is a hashtag called mixed babies, as the literature on Willie lynch superimposed the ideology of breeding out complexions and genetics, what can also be read on aryan ideologies, where women adopted the idea of men as lesser or defect actually comes from the aryan race as an adaptation of how wiccan magic utilizes subversion, to that degree, one should read sexpionage: the explotation of sex by david lewis and "how the illuminati create an undetectable total mind controlled slave" by Cisco Wheeler and Fritz springmeier
^ what ties this together with how this impacted blacks is how gangs initiate and why people should read this book these two books:
Illuminati in the music industry by Mark dice
Ritual abuse and mind control: the manipulation of attachment needs
Edited by orit badouk epstein, joseph Schwartz, and rachel wingfield schwartz
As those series of books show how the sexual liberation movement and counter culture initiated the glorification of demoralization of men and women's values around sex, the upsurge in casual sex, the normalized worship of drug abuse and sex and how that has lead to the healing movement in the health & wellness industry, as executives need to create demand in order to supply, and to understand the statistics and analytics of how a massive amount of black women and men circulate drip campaigns in the form of memes that degenerate and promote dysfunction and why toxic relationships are celebrated
The books aforementioned also highlight black magic and dark magic abused, as sex magic applied in these areas and the black culture that circle around celebrity worship is another ritual that amplifies conditions
The conditioning as a result is where bimbofication and barbie ideals are heralded, as the movie "stepford wives" goes into that, and elucidates the desire for black women to advertise luxury lifestyles around material and why escorts and sugar babies are dominant in those spaces and fields, as it is the biomarker for bioinformatics that represent the effectiveness of eugenics as a modality which will continue and is the reason for sex toys and devices, as the deeper you plunge someone into habituations, the deeper the dependency, what calls to how influenced the bad bitch archetype became the mold that so many ladies have modeled themselves after
To the polar end of why young black males have predominantly sought after to model themselves to be thugs and gangsters from the imagery in the music that celebrates killing, fetishizing women, liquor, drug misuse, gangbang sex and trains, and other dark magic rites and black magic rituals, to the book that is by Mark dice and another called secret rituals of the men in black by allen greenfield
If anyone pieces together excerpts from all the books highly recommended, it will illustrate how black culture is simply propellent of materialism, consumption, addiction, and abuse, on one end, and how that offers the capitalization of commodifying black bodies to advertise products and commodities, why corporations sponsor influencers, as it keeps the treadmill of users at pace with trilateral commissions agenda to fulfill a quota of deriving x-amount of dollars from blacks to fund industries that keep communities at a level to go no further than that
How to sell to a negro
Selling to a negro
This is why we call you the devil: psychology of selling to the negro
^ documentaries from the 1950s from when mk ultra began are what support what was stated
Having worked in retail, there is a book for analysts, psychologists, and economists that let's them know the demographic of blacks of all ages what they buy and how much and how often, so there is that as well
There is a film on this as well, the name of it escapes me so I suggest people research video lectures by Steve Cokley about the boule as it speaks to what is denoted in the film, as the comforts and conveniences and status maintain that African Americans never revolt or unite and where the term negropean came as the desire to live the affluence of upper class caucasians who are part of lodges, cults, groups, fraternities and select memberships within factions is adjacent to how black women and black men desire to be in proximity and soon resign from being educated beyond what is going on so long as they get paid, that funnel is where blacks as operatives are sworn to secrecy and those who pledge do the maintenance of influencing generations to aspire to that level of society, as that is the unseen hand that has created the digital landscape we see today
The book by mike Horowitz, occult america: the secret history of how mysticism shaped the nation is also how and why many find work in spirituality as yoga and yogis that were bought out by caucasians made it a lucrative end to turn moralism, hierarchy, and righteousness into a profit model as all things spiritual from other cultures that were paid off to do the same made the conglomerate belief system of universality and oneness to have one main way of thought that both serves as a sector for an industry and also serves the demographic of spenders who spend most of their time listening to these podcasts, organizations, and movements
So the concepts of gold diggers, dead beats, ain't shyt niggas, fuckboys, bitches, bad bitches, dogs, all Markov models to train a group of people who serve the self-help industry, the divorce court, the jewelery business, funeral homes, counselors, therapists, spiritualists, gurus, coaches, trainers, and mentors, as that keeps the pockets lined and continues the line of generations who compete and divide to be conditioned by the dominance hierarchy
The dominace hierarchy can be expanded on by looking into jordan peterson and your local library
I'm severly summarizing because my time is valuable and I typically charge for this lol so have at this and whoever seeks to make an honest buck from this, credit me and pay it forward $afromagnetic ��� to those who value themselves, know their worth, and respect their time §
The programming goes deeper than this but I reserve that for my clients, customers, and students who support me xo
Also, it should be known that it is common practice in indigenous cultures for wombyn to sleep with a man specifically for his genes and purely for the intent to birth a chilf or children to continue her lineage with no interest in marriage or the men with whom she procreates due to the lack of ancestral knowledge on parthenogenesis, the other side of the game and where my other research touches from elders that inform me of ways of old and having grown up in a matriarchal setting through my life to also be informed by women themselves of this common practice unbeknownst to men and others who are unaware of this and/or lack insight, hypergamy, and the sugar bowl or eugenics or breeding and slave training and how divide & conquer strategies are applied or applicable from germanic influences, british intelligence, chinese families, british rule, and the Roman empire to govern how blacks behave and how influencing the mentality of women and degradation of the black men from birth to boyhood to adolescence are operations being carried out and have been so for centuries
Dr. Llaila Afrika touches base on this as well and there are books on the matter about sexuality and slavery that can be found on the web and through an IG bookstore owned by dtr360, the doctor has videos online discussing how slave mastered trained slaves to have a sex drive, and to that degree, there is another book called mind controlled sex slaves and the CIA by tracy Twyman as the protocol of molestation in black homes is just a sliver of how that influences the many and why many have similar stories to tell, including men, and what that leads to

"Information about the Black reality and experience must be transmitted as broadly and as intensely as possible. Black singers must sing about it, Black researchers must identify it, Black actors must act it, Black scholars must conceptualize it, Black teachers must teach it, and Black preachers must preach it. From the cradle to the grave, we must submerge ourselves; from books, pictures and whatever source that will bring messages to our minds. Each bit of information helps to mold the keys which will open the chains that remain on our minds"

what books do you recommend especially now with everything goin on.
The Five Stages of Collapse by D. Orlav Blood In My Eye by George Jackson End Game Vol. 1: The Problem of Civilization by D. Jensen The Urban Homestead by Coye & Knutzen Deep Green Resistance by McBay, et al. The Community of Self by Dr. Naim Akbar Bushcraft First Aid by Cantebury & Hunt
This list isn’t comprehensive, but they are all relevant and very valuable in their own way. The skils, resources, and organizational models needed vary from region to region but there are universal understandings and practices that apply to most if not all situations. I’ve tried to suggest text that speaks to those universal elements. www.diallokenyatta.com www.patreon.com/diallokenyatta #BroDiallo

For The People With Listervelt Middleton
For The People With Listervelt Middleton
It was and is to this moment a grand legend in television broadcasting history. Few can find a program to match it in the power to expand minds.
“For The People” was a new public affairs series for the African-American community when the show made its 1973 debut with Beryl Dakers as host. Later, Listervelt Middleton served as host for a quarter century.

Hey Facebook Debaters and those speaking on the behalf of Black people!!
As you read this, I want black people to just take a moment to think about where we have come from. Let me be more specific. Take each statement as what is written without the “But” that you may want to interject.
1. Our African Ancestors were a part of the Dynasties and Empires who fought off colonialism for thousands of years in Africa.
2. Our African Ancestors were brave enough to endure mental, physical, emotional and structural abuse of the Maafa (Slavery) and still gave birth to more children who ultimately birthed us.
3. Our African Ancestors spoke out of mistreatment, discrimination, racism and senseless killing of African people in America since we have touched America. Few Examples include: Numerous Slave rebellions, Civil Rights Movement, Black Panther Party, Black Lives Matters Movement, and the list goes on and on.
I say that to ultimately say that we may be at a time in history where we are full aware of the many issues that black people must address in order to be liberated. We know that systematic racism is still disenfranchising African people. We are well aware that forms of oppressive tactics are still being used against black people. Post traumatic slave syndrome is real. Mental health disparities within the black community must be talked about! Child rearing, protecting our children, family structures, relationships and dating practices must also continue to be addressed. Diet and health education must continue to be given to all. There is a need for affirmative school systems and education for Black people. Financial spending habits, building generational wealth and all things regarding finance and what that looks like for black people is paramount. Lastly, the divide in Religion or spirituality or whether we should use them both is also pressing.
No matter what avenue you, your family (tribe) and community believes we should focus on first, or what avenue you are currently contributing to help uplift black people in America IT IS ALL NEEDED. I love the era we are in where Black Twitter is being a platform for black people to discuss important topics in our community. I love going on Facebook and debating my fellow black people. However, I think it is important to keep in mind that the only reason some of us even debate important topics is because we care about the direction of our race. We are concerned with the state of America that our children will inherit. We want politicians who will use their voices and platform to make sure police officers who kill our children are tried and convicted of murder. We want to heal the damage from the tragedies that were inflicted upon our Ancestors. We want to strong healthy families, communities and schools. We want our humanity respected. Some influencers are using a higher platform to fight for African/ Black people such as in books, and on television as experts. Some people are using the platforms we have available such as social media to debate. It is needed and respected. My charge to all those debating on our behalf including my self is the following.
1. Do it out of the love you have for your people.
2. Use strategies to communicate properly and attack the problem not the person.
3. Respect both individuality and communalism views. A great African/Black psychologist Dr. Kobi Kambon says that the worldview of African people affirms the belief in unity and communalism. European worldview on the other hand values individuality. As an African person in America, We are all connected so our public debates may look negative to some people in the same racial category as we are. They definitely can seem divisive to other races and cultures. We are one people striving for similarly the same result.
4. Every disagreement does not have to be an argument.
5. “You attract more bees with honey than vinegar.” We know this old wise tale. Think it over.
6. You can agree to disagree.
7. Read their comment or listen to it to understand and not just to respond.
8. DO NOT FORGET THE WORK THE ANCESTORS HAS ALREADY DONE FOR US! If you find yourself talking about something that you are flat out ASSUMING to be true STOP. Do not continue. Don’t pass go. Do not collect $200. LOOK IT UP. If you don’t know exactly what they have done read any of the books they have left behind. Look up a statistic. Information is literally at our fingertips.
For those speaking on our behalf, defending us on larger platforms: My charge to you all is the previously stated as well as:
1. Annual National Meeting of Black people to discuss our issues and solutions.
2. State/Regional people to speak privately about our issues and solutions.
3. Platforms those aren’t public to address our issues and solutions.
4. Quarterly correspondences to explain what we should or shouldn’t be supporting.
5. All black people to allow other blacks to be their voice and participate in this system.
“History is a clock used to tell a people their political and cultural time of day. It is a compass used to find ourselves on the map of human geography. It tells a people where they are and what they are but most importantly it tells a people where they still must go and what they still must be.” _John Henrik Clarke

Iran's top nuclear scientist killed in apparent assassination, state media reports
Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, considered one of the masterminds of Iran’s controversial nuclear program, died after his car was apparently ambushed in a district east of Tehran. Photos from the scene showed the shattered windshield of a car, and blood on the road.
Iranian state media said the killing appeared to be an assassination. Iran’s Defense Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami was quoted by Iran’s semi-official news agency ISNA as saying Fakhrizadeh was targeted by gunfire and a Nissan vehicle explosion, before a firefight ensued.
Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif called the death “cowardice — with serious indications of Israeli role.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office declined to comment to CNN.
Fakhrizadeh was head of the research center of new technology in the elite Revolutionary Guards, and was a leading figure in Iran’s nuclear program for many years.
“Terrorists murdered an eminent Iranian scientist today,” Zarif said in a tweet. “This cowardice — with serious indications of Israeli role — shows desperate warmongering of perpetrators Iran calls on int’l community — and especially EU — to end their shameful double standards & condemn this act of state terror.”
US President Donald Trump retweeted prominent Israeli journalist Yossi Melman, who wrote: “Fakhrizadeh-Mahabadi assassinated in Damavand, east of Tehran according to reports in Iran. He was head of Iran’s secret military program and wanted for many years by Mossad. His death is a major psychological and professional blow for Iran.”
The Trump administration said it was closely monitoring the apparent assassination. The death “would be a big deal,” a US official told CNN.
Several top-level Iranian officials have condemned the attack and threatened to retaliate. The head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps, Hossein Salami, issued a statement calling the killing a “terrorist operation”, according to ISNA.
“The blinded enemies of Iran, particularly the planners and coordinators of this cowardly act of terrorism must understand that such savagery will not cause a single wrinkle in our collective will to conquer bright scientific horizons, and be aware that the difficult revenge awaiting them is already an integral part of our work!,” he said, according to the news agency.
Ali Akbar Velayati, international affairs adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said in a statement: “The Iranian nation will avenge the blood of this great martyr from the terrorist elements and their supporters.”
The Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Major General Mohammad Bagheri, warned of “severe revenge” against “the killers” of Fakhrizadeh, state-news agency IRNA reported.
“The assassination of this capable and worthy manager, although it was a bitter and heavy blow to the country’s defense complex, but the enemies know that the path started by the martyr Fakhrizadeh will never be stopped,” Bagheri said, according to IRNA.
Lebanon’s Hezbollah, the Iran-backed Lebanese militant group, also condemned the killing. Hezbollah’s second-in-command, Naim Qassem, said that agents of the US and Israel were behind the assassination.
“We condemn this sinful attack, and we see that the response to this crime is in the hands of those concerned in Iran. We are not shaken by assassinations,” Qassem said during an interview with Hezbollah-owned al-Manar TV.
Trita Parsi, the co-founder and executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, said it was not clear who was behind the apparent assassination, but that “there are not that many candidates.”
“At the end of the day the only countries that actually have the intent, the motivation and the capacity — and the capacity is really important — really reduces the number of candidates to no more than Israel and potentially the United States,” he told CNN’s Becky Anderson.
In April 2018, Netanyahu mentioned Fakhrizadeh by name when he unveiled a nuclear archive he said Mossad agents had taken from Tehran. He called him the head of a secret nuclear project called Project Amad. “Remember that name, Fakhrizadeh,” Netanyahu told reporters.
Iran began to withdraw from its commitments to the 2015 landmark nuclear deal in 2019, a year after US President Donald Trump pulled out of the agreement and unleashed crippling sanctions on the country.
In the last month, the International Atomic Energy Agency documented several new breaches of the agreement. Earlier this week, Iran said it had begun injecting Uranium Hexafluoride gas into centrifuges at its Natanz facility.
Why was Fakhrizadeh targeted?
Fakhrizadeh is the most prominent face of nuclear program that has been the main flashpoint in an international dispute. He is mentioned in multiple reports by the US State Department and the International Atomic Energy Agency as holding deep insight into Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
It’s unclear what role he held in Iran’s efforts — always officially denied — to develop a nuclear weapon. It is also not clear how much he would know of the most secret elements of anything Iran may be doing, given his profile. But he was a symbol of Iran’s past ambitions, and was protected heavily.
That did did not stop him being targeted and killed in broad daylight in the outskirts of Iran’s capital. The message is clear: Iran’s enemies can kill its nuclear celebrities anywhere.
Is the timing significant?
There are just over 50 days left in the Trump administration, before President-elect Joe Biden is inaugurated and diplomatic contacts between Tehran and Washington are likely to pick up again.
There are many in Israel and the US who see the current “maximum pressure” policy of sanctions and hostility as the only route to stop Iran from expanding its influence and getting the bomb eventually.
Fakhrizadeh’s killing makes that kind of diplomacy harder, and gives voice to hawks in Iran that peacemaking is futile. It also gives voice to Iran’s enemies, who can argue that taking on Iran head first is possible and can be palpably a deterrent.
While the apparent assassination is embarrassing to Iran, it wants diplomacy with Biden rather than outright conflict.
Iran has yet to respond, beyond condemnation, to the killing of Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani earlier this year. Again, Tehran may prefer to blame its enemies loudly and then move on, rather than seek open conflict.
This story has been updated to standardize the spelling of Fakhrizadeh’s name.
