Kerry's Secret Muslim Connections

The Frontpage Magazine
By Lowell Ponte

October 5, 2004


THE NECKTIE JOHN KERRY WEARS during the next two
presidential debates might be a secret semaphore revealing
where his loyalty lies. During much of the campaign Kerry
has worn neckties whose pattern, suggests New York
journalist Joan Swirsky, is like a secret signal of support
to the Muslim world.

"Why else would the richest man in the Senate ? a man whose
pricey wardrobe is laid out for him daily by his personal
valet ? wear only one necktie during almost all of his
public appearances?" asked Swirsky in a September 20
column. "And that necktie ? albeit not in a thin muslin or
coarse cotton but probably woven from the finest silk ? a
replica in its pink and white pattern of the Arabs?
favorite headdress, the kefiyyah."

An examination of campaign photographs shows Kerry wearing
several neckties with pink or red patterns resembling the
familiar kefiyah Arab male headdress. By itself, this could
be dismissed as mere coincidence having no signal
significance.


Perhaps Kerry merely likes pink, and in his family his
powerful wife Teresa wears the male-color blues. And Kerry
has always demonstrated an affinity for reds.


John Kerry?s campaign, however, has quietly built bridges
to Muslim voters, Muslim money and a hidden connection with
the Ayatollahs of Iran that should concern everyone who
supports Israel and is uncertain what policies a President
Kerry might adopt in the Middle East.


One key battleground state in this election is Michigan,
which has the highest proportion of Muslim voters in the
United States. Last October 17 Kerry traveled to Dearborn,
Michigan to speak before the Arab American Institute
National Leadership Conference. (The Arab American
Institute is headed by James Zogby, brother of pollster
John Zogby.)


"We do not need another barrier to peace," Kerry told the
Arab-American group in a speech criticizing Israel?s
terrorism-thwarting, life-saving security fence. The
Masschusetts Senator described the fence as "provocative
and counterproductive," adding that it would "increase
hardships to the Palestinian people."


(Five months later, in February 2004 the always-duplicitous
John Kerry days after a Jerusalem suicide bombing told the
Jerusalem Post that Israel?s security fence was a
"legitimate act of self-defense.")


Kerry operatives have worked hard behind the scenes to win
Muslim voters, a bloc George W. Bush won in the 2000
election. Muslim-Americans are now more numerous than Jews
in Michigan and a significant voting bloc in Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Florida. More than half a million
Arab-Americans are expected to vote in these four
battleground states.


Kerry?s Dearborn speech, widely reported in Arab-American
community media, suggested that a President Kerry might not
share President George W. Bush?s unwavering support for
Israel.


Until recently, polling suggested that Kerry might win
almost 80 percent of Muslim-American voters ? roughly one
percent of all American voters ? but this number is now
falling rapidly as these Americans, too, wake up and smell
the Kerry.


(President Bush has many Arab-American supporters. The
President liberated 50 million Muslims from tyrannical
governments in Iraq and Afghanistan, and named Republican
Arab-American Spencer Abraham of Michigan to his cabinet as
Secretary of Energy.)


One little-noticed reason why the Kerry campaign has used
every dirty trick it could devise to keep Ralph Nader off
state ballots is not only that he siphons away leftwing
voters but also that this Lebanese-American siphons off
Arab-American votes. Nader on the ballot likely would win
between nine and 20 percent of the votes of his fellow
ethnic Arab-Americans. But despite these anti-democratic
Democrat dirty tricks, Nader is presently on the ballot in
Florida, Pennsylvania and Michigan.


Money may explain some of Kerry?s support among
Muslim-American activists. The Council for American Islamic
Relations (CAIR), for example, has pocketed grant money
from the leftwing Tides Foundation. The Tides Foundation,
wrote FrontPage Magazine?s Ben Johnson, has been generously
supported with fungible money from the Heinz Endowments
controlled by John Kerry?s wife Teresa.


But Kerry receives far more Muslim money than his wife?s
foundations give. As this column documented last January,
one of Kerry?s biggest money men, who bankrolled the
Senator?s primary campaign with more than $180,000, is
Hassan Nemazee. This Iranian-American investor raised a
cool $250,000 for Al Gore in November 1995. Nemazee and his
family slushed another $150,000 to Democrats during the
mid-1990s. Six Nemazee family members and friends
(including the caretaker of his 12-acre Katonah, N.Y.,
estate) donated a total of $60,000 ? the maximum legally
allowed -- to Bill Clinton?s legal defense fund.


In the closing days of 1998 Clinton named Nemazee his
Ambassador-designate to Argentina. Hillary Clinton embraced
the Muslim moneyman at a January 1999 White House
celebration of the Islamic holiday Eid. The Senate,
however, refused to confirm the controversial nominee after
a Forbes Magazine investigation exposed Nemazee?s
questionable business dealings. "He was," said a bitter
former business partner, "the Iranian equivalent of J.R.
Ewing."


The Forbes magazine investigation also documented how, in
order to get his hands on public-employee pension fund
monies allocated for minority managers, the U.S.-born
Nemazee had falsely claimed to be a Hispanic of Venezuelan
background and, on another occasion, an Asian-Indian.


But Nemazee?s cynical lust for money can be frightening as
well as laughable. He is a founding board member of the
Iranian American Political Action Committee [IAPAC], which
seeks to create friendly and lucrative business
relationships with the medieval theocratic dictatorship now
ruling Iran. Iran is, of course, an "Axis of Evil" nation
that seeks to acquire nuclear weapons and is on our State
Department?s official list of nations that support
terrorism. Nemazee seeks to enrich himself by further
enriching the power-mad Mullahs ruling Iran.


"The founding member of this group is Mr. Hassan Nemazee,
an American of Iranian origin and one discredited, and
well-known agent of the Islamic Republic, within the
Iranian community in the United States," wrote opponent of
the Iran regime Aryo B. Pirouznia of the Student Movement
Coordination Committee for Democracy in Iran. "Their
[IAPAC?s] agenda in their own words is: ??how relations
between the Islamic Republic and the United States can be
restored in support of the Islamic Republic and the
revolution.?"


Pirouznia wrote this in an open letter to Senator Edward
Kennedy urging the Massachusetts Democrat to dissociate
himself from Nemazee. The more-leftward senator from the
Bay State, John Kerry, continues to embrace Nemazee and the
suitcases full of money that he donates.


Following this column?s lead, investigative reporter
Kenneth R. Timmerman last March tracked the Kerry-Nemazee
link to expose two other Kerry "Iranian Sugar Daddies" with
links to the Shiite Ayatollahs? theocratic dictatorship in
Teheran.


In an October 2004 American Spectator investigation titled
"Dirty Moolah," Timmerman looked into Nemazee friends Faraj
Aalaei and his wife Susan Akbarpour. This couple also has
close ties to Iran, is working to get U.S. sanctions
against its regime lifted, and may have funneled up to
$200,000 to the Kerry campaign.


Has this flow of Iranian money into his campaign coffers
prompted John Kerry to make his positions more
Ayatollah-friendly? Last December 3 Kerry told the Council
on Foreign Relations that as President he "will be prepared
early on to explore areas of mutual interest with Iran."


Senator Kerry has proposed not only to open a "dialogue"
with the Islamist dictators of Iran if he is elected
President, but also to help the Iran theocracy become a
member of the World Trade Organization (WTO).


"It is in the urgent interests of the people of the United
States to restore our country?s credibility in the eyes of
the world," wrote Kerry in an email his campaign sent to
the Mullahs in Iran. "America needs the kind of leadership
that will repair alliances with countries on every
continent that have been so damaged in the past few years,
as well as build new friendships and overcome tensions with
others."


On April 7, 2004 in an interview with leftwing National
Public Radio, John Kerry described the fanatical Shiite
imam Muqtada al-Sadr (who has murdered American soldiers
and Iraqi civilians, and has armed his militia with weapons
almost certainly supplied by neighboring Shiite Iran) as a
"legitimate voice" in Iraq.


Several pro-Kerry leftwing propaganda operatives have
claimed that President Bush is not a "legitimate"
President. But Kerry described terrorist Muqtada al-Sadr as
apparently more "legitimate" in Iraq than the U.S. troops
sent there by President Bush, who liberated the country
from the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein. Kerry?s statement
gave propaganda support and encouragement to this power-mad
killer cleric and his murderous militia.


Senator Kerry has said: "A nuclear armed Iran is an
unacceptable risk to the national security of the United
States and our allies in the region." But his vacillating
flip-flops concerning Iraq, Israel and the rest of the
Middle East ? and his cozy relationship with big money
contributors with close ties to the Iranian Ayatollahs ?
raise serious doubts about Mr. Kerry?s willingness to act
decisively to pull the radioactive fangs of this monster.


"With respect to Iran," Kerry said during the September
30th first presidential debate, "I think the United States
should have offered the opportunity to provide the nuclear
fuel, test them, see whether or not they were actually
looking for it for peaceful purposes."


Kerry?s proposal, which he first mentioned in a June
speech, was cheered by unnamed senior German and Dutch
spokesmen in the European Union (EU), according to London?s
Financial Times.


But on Sunday Iran officially rebuffed Kerry?s idea. Its
foreign ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi declared that
it would be "irrational" for Iran, reported Reuters, "to
put its nuclear program in jeopardy by relying on supplies
from abroad." But in Teheran they must have been pleased by
Kerry?s eagerness to avoid conflict, serve the interests of
his Iranian paymasters and appease the Ayatollahs.


Kerry supported a similar Clinton Administration program to
provide reactors and fissionable materials to Communist
North Korea. Former President Jimmy Carter brokered this
plan to give these things to Kim Jung Il in exchange for a
signed scrap of paper on which North Korea promised not to
use them to make nuclear weapons.


North Korea lied, of course, and used the time this
Democrat agreement gave them to produce up to seven nuclear
weapons. Kerry now proposes making the same arrangement
with the Islamist dictatorship in Iran that President
Carter?s moronic foreign policy brought to power.


North Korea, an energy-poor country, at least had a
plausible reason to seek nuclear reactors to generate
electricity. Iran, by contrast, is one of the world?s
largest oil producers and exporters. Iran flares enough
natural gas off its oil wells as a waste by-product to
generate all the electricity it will need for the next
several centuries.


Senator Kerry?s proposed costly gift of reactor fuel to
Iran to "test" whether their aim is peaceful is as
unnecessary and unwise as it is absurd. With easy access to
all the nearly-free oil and natural gas they could ever
use, Iran?s rulers obviously want nuclear reactors not for
energy but for political power.


"We must have two [atomic] bombs ready to go in January or
you are not Muslims," Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
recently told a group of Iran?s senior government and
military leaders, according to an unnamed U.S. official
quoted by the news service Geostrategy-Direct.


Iran?s nuclear reactor program, moreover, is controlled and
administered not by the nation?s energy bureaucracy but by
its military. So when Senator Kerry speaks of giving
nuclear materials to Iran, these materials would be put
directly into the hands of Iran?s military.


The Ayatollahs of Iran, with their long track record of
arming and funding Hizbollah ("the Party of God") and
aiding other international terrorists, want nuclear weapons
so that they can threaten Israel as well as other nations
of the Middle East and Europe. Iran?s theocratic rulers may
already have developed a missile capable of carrying a
nuclear warhead as far as Europe. Iran might have had North
Korean help in testing its missiles. Iran today has several
hundred nuclear-capable HY-2 Chinese Silkworm missiles and
other missiles aimed at U.S. ships in the Persian Gulf and
may soon acquire its more advanced offspring the Raad
missile.


Iran?s ambition to become a nuclear superpower, as anyone
can see from the June 2004 testimony of Undersecretary of
State for Arms Control & International Security John
Bolton, is self-evident.


The Ayatollahs came to power in Iran because of Democratic
President Jimmy Carter?s steps to undermine America?s ally
the Shah of Iran. The Communist madman who today rules
North Korea acquired nuclear weapons with the help of
Democratic President Bill Clinton and his left-loving
emissary Jimmy Carter. And the nightmare of the Vietnam War
was precipitated by the Democratic President John F. Kerry
likes to call the "first JFK," John F. Kennedy, who sent
the first 17,000 armed U.S. troops into Vietnam. Those who
know this might think


Knowledgeable people might wonder why John Kerry has raised
these issues that ought to remind the world how dangerous
it is to elect a Democrat as President.


But John Kerry has the advantage of an electorate
"educated" mostly in socialist government schools by union
members of the National Education Association. And Kerry?s
ignorant voters generally exhibit the blend of low I.Q. and
high ideology that define today?s leftward-trending
Democratic Party.


President Bill Clinton gave many important speeches while
wearing the necktie given to him by his mistress Monica
Lewinsky. It was, he told her, a signal that he was
thinking about their secret relationship.


If John Kerry wears one of his kefiyah-patterned red or
pink neckties during either of the two remaining
presidential debates, it might be a friendly wink, a signal
to the Muslim world confirming his secret relationships
with its interests. To paraphrase CBS?s Dan Rather, even if
the meaning of Kerry?s necktie choice is misinterpreted,
the facts behind it are true.


Whatever colors he puts on for those two nights, chameleon
Kerry grew up in Europe speaking and thinking in French and
has a European French view of Jews and Muslims, of Israel
and the Arab world. France, which took the side of Saddam
Hussein against the U.S. in Iraq, shipped 75,000 French
Jews in railroad cattle cars off to Nazi death camps.


France is the culture Kerry deems so superior to ours that
he once said, in effect, that he would give France a veto
in the United Nations Security Council over America?s
ability to use force in our, or Israel?s, defense. We have
just passed the anniversary of the 1973 Yom Kippur War in
which France refused permission to fly over its territory
to American aircraft sent to help save Israel. And
influenced by its fast-growing Muslim population, France
(and Europe in general) again is exhibiting open
anti-Semitism.

The survival or death of Israel if Kerry becomes President
could be decided by the highest bidder.
