A top Iranian military commander has threatened to launch ballistic missile attacks on U.S. forces in the region amid a public effort by the Islamic Republic to show off its advanced missile capabilities, according to U.S. officials and regional reports.

Iranian leaders disclosed that their advanced ballistic missile technology, which could be used as part of a nuclear weapons program, is sophisticated enough to strike U.S. forces up to nearly 1,300 miles, or 2,000 kilometers, away, which encompasses all U.S. bases in the region.

The head of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC, announced on Tuesday that Iranian missiles can already "cover all U.S. bases in the region" and that Tehran has the capability to increase its missile power even further.

"Based on the policies specified by the Leader [Ayatollah Khamenei], the range of our missiles is limited to 2,000km, but we have the capability to increase the range," IRGC Maj. Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari said following an announcement by the country's supreme leader that Iranian ballistic missile technology would be capped at this distance for the short term.

While pro-Iran activists cheered the announcement as a sign of moderation on Iran's part, U.S officials and experts told the Washington Free Beacon that the distance cap on these missiles is effectively meaningless since the country's current military technology is capable of striking U.S. forces, a position emphasized by Iranian military leaders.

"At present it [this distance] is sufficient because the Americans are in a 2,000 km radius from our country and their attacks will be responded," Jafari was quoted as saying in Iran's state-controlled press outlets.

U.S. military and administration officials told the Free Beacon the United States is cementing multiple plans to counter Iran's ballistic missile threat and will continue to pursue these efforts despite Iranian threats of military violence.

"We have consistently maintained that we will work with our allies to change Iran's malign and destabilizing activities," one senior military official told the Free Beacon.

This includes the development and proliferation of ballistic missile technology, as well as Iran's support for terrorism and Islamic extremism, according to Adrian Rankine-Galloway, a Defense Department spokesperson.

The U.S. defense apparatus also is working to counter Iran's support for the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, as well as the Islamic Republic's "unrelenting hostility to Israel," according to Rankine-Galloway.

U.S. defense officials remain concerned about Iran's harassment of U.S. naval vessels in the region, "especially in the strategically vital Arabian Gulf," according to the military official.

"In support of this strategy, DoD is reviewing the entire breadth of our security cooperation activities, force posture, and plans," Rankine-Galloway said. "We are identifying new areas where we will work with allies to put pressure on the Iranian regime, neutralize its destabilizing influences, and constrain its aggressive power projection, particularly its support for terrorist groups and militants."

A State Department official told the Free Beacon that Iran's continued pursuit of ballistic missile technology violates United Nations Resolution 2231, which codifies the nuclear agreement and includes bans on Tehran's development of such equipment.

"As we have said before, the Iranian regime's program to develop ballistic missiles continues to be in defiance of UNSCR 2231 and has a destabilizing impact in the region," the official said. "We call on the Iranian regime not to conduct any further ballistic missile launches and related activities."

Congressional critics of the Iran deal continue to maintain the Obama administration misled lawmakers about the nature of restrictions on Iran's ballistic missile program, guaranteeing during negotiations over the landmark agreement that such activity would be fully halted.

"While we were told by Obama administration officials that the nuclear deal would lead to improved Iranian behavior, Iran's behavior since reaping the massive amount of front-loaded financial benefits has only seemed to get worse," Rep. Ron DeSantis (R., Fla.), a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and chair of its National Security Subcommittee, told the Free Beacon.

"Recent threats about missile attacks demonstrate the need for Congress to proceed with additional secondary sanctions," DeSantis said. "The present course is untenable and Iran's threatening behavior is likely to increase in frequency."

Iranian leaders continue to maintain the United States is in violation of the nuclear accord and have emphasized repeatedly that the deal is not open to renegotiation on any front.

"Iran doesn't want, under any conditions, to negotiate with anyone on any paragraphs of the nuclear deal," Ali Shamkhani, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, was quoted as saying on Tuesday.

New congressional efforts to sanction Iran for a range of activities, including its ballistic missile buildup, have been met with threats.

IRGC Commander Jafari vowed last month that any new effort to sanction Tehran would be viewed as a "U.S. unilateral withdrawal from the nuclear deal."

"If the U.S. new sanctions act comes into action, the country [the U.S.] should transfer its regional bases to 2,000 km away, that is as far as the range of Iranian missiles," Jafari said, emphasizing the threat to strike U.S. assets.

In Tuesday remarks, Jafari warned that new sanctions "will increase the Iranian nation's determination to increase its defense and missile power and they [America] will see an increase in the range and precision-striking power of missiles."

Saeed Ghasseminejad, an Iran expert and research fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told the Free Beacon that those cheering Iran's announcement that it is capping the distance its missiles can travel are being disingenuous, given that Iran can still hit any U.S. base in the region.

"The IRGC commander says at this time the current range is enough," Ghasseminejad said. "He clarifies it by saying that there are enough Americans to target inside the 2000 km range that Iran does not need to go beyond it at this point."

Any edict by Iran's Supreme Leader "can easily change," Ghasseminejad noted.

"Iran is working on its satellite program which is a cover to develop its ICBM program," he added. "So at the same time that Iran is developing its intercontinental ballistic missile, the head of the terrorist organization, the IRGC, assures the world that Iran has no plan to go beyond 2000 km range even though it has the technical capability."

"How gullible should one be to buy such assurance?" Ghasseminejad asked, noting that the amplified rhetoric from Iran is a sign the threat of new sanctions is a concern for Tehran.

	BRIEFLY Stuff that matters APOCALYPSE NOW REUTERS/Mohammad Ponir Hossain Climate change is exacerbating global inequalities and making people sick. A new Lancet report finds that poor countries are already feeling disproportionate health effects from a warming planet. Among those already suffering from climate change are people who do manual labor or work outdoors. In the last 16 years, the number of vulnerable people exposed to heatwave events increased by 125 million, according to the report. Climate change has also led to a loss of productivity and income — devastating to families already living in poverty. The study finds a more than 5-percent drop in work productivity for people working in rural areas. The loss of livelihood is greatest for people who rely on farming, many of whom are dealing with food insecurity and undernutrition thanks to warmer temperatures. In 2016, extreme weather led to an estimated $129 billion in economic losses. And the number of deaths from natural disasters is concentrated in poor communities that are less able to adapt to a changing climate. Those who survive devastating droughts and floods have had to flee their homes. Up to a billion climate migrants could be displaced by the end of the century, according to the report, which could have “potentially severe impacts on mental and physical health.” Justine Calma1 day ago (GRIST)

	Las Vegas Shooter’s Story In Question As New Evidence Released, Officers Lied? Posted by Danny Abarno \| Oct 30, 2017 \| National Security, Top Article The Sheriff’s Department in Las Vegas was quick to hand the reins over to the FBI who were even quicker to announce that it was just one shooter The narrative being told to the American people about the events that took place almost a month ago inLas Vegas is continuing to be proven as false and misleading. The events that took place on that fateful night are confusing to say the least but the fact of the matter consists solely on the basis that American Intelligence Agencies are lying to the American people. Now, a recording of the air traffic control from the Las Vegas Airport reveals that there were shooters on the runways, clearly going against the lone wolf gunman narrative being spewed by establishment politicians and their cronies in the media. The official narrative that came out on the night of the brutal attacks in Las Vegas consisted of a random lone wolf gunman opening fire from a hotel room and killing almost 60 people and injuring hundreds. It was quickly established from law enforcement and then pushed by the biggest media outlets that it was a guy who just snapped and used his Second Amendment right to slaughter dozens of other Americans, thus triggering a media frenzy consisting of gun control debate for the next week until the next big thing happened. There are so many questions that the American people deserve to know the answers to and yet apparently the right to understand atrocities is not a protected right. The FBI’s Aaron Rouse was quick to jump into the spot light to tell the American people that it was just one shooter and he had no connections to ISIS. Why no announcements about any updates? The law enforcement officials were quick to jump on the scene and explain that this was just at regular old lone wolf extremist but the situation puts that narrative to test almost immediately. Paddock, the suspect, was a 64 year old man and authorities expected everyone to believe that this man near retirement age was capable of firing thousands of rounds with multiple guns at a distance of a few hundred meters, in the dark. The room they found Paddock in also contained enough weaponry to attack an American police station, and yet Paddock acted alone? ISIS was extremely quick to claim responsibility for the attack but the Federal Bureau of Investigations quickly squashed that claim by simply saying no. Authorities were desperate to spread the word that an old white gun carried out gun related crime, thus triggering the liberal media in to an irritatingly staged gun control debate. This new air traffic recording that says there were shooters on the runway now puts into perspective that there were many shooters with a mission. Paddock was a mulit-millionaire with ties to the Philippines and yet he just apparently snapped and murdered 59 people? One thing that should stick out to everyone who is trying to follow this event is the fact that there has been almost zero evidence of Paddock being alone in the hotel and casino. Las Vegas is one of the most watched cities in the world and it is almost laughable to suggest that Paddock was not on camera either checking in or bringing some luggage into his room. If the intelligence agencies responsible for telling the American people the truth about what happened in Las Vegas cared about finding the truth then footage of Paddock checking in by himself and getting all of his bags delivered would have been released from day one. This new information is truly terrifying as it suggests that there was a tremendous effort by a group of individuals to do as much damage to Americans as possible that night in Las Vegas. Reports from eye-witnesses and victim were pouring out that there were definitely multiple shooters and yet these witnesses are suddenly crashing their cars. The narrative around Las Vegas stinks and it is time for the elected representatives of the people of the United States to think the unthinkable and go after the truth. The events of the night are still confusing but the American people have had to rely on the Internet and unverified sources for information because the authorities are not breaking from their “lone wolf” narrative. Problem after problem has arisen as a result of the narrative from Las Vegas. The shooter was a multi-millionaire professional gambler with planes and $100k transfers to the Philippines but he decided to go on a murderous spree. He apparently acted alone but wanted 23 guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition but wore weird casual loafers instead of combat boots? Now there’s evidence that shows the authorities knew about multiple shooters because even the air traffic controllers knew there were shooters on the runway. The American people are being blatantly lied to and yet we as supposed to believe that these same intelligence agencies work to protect the American people? It seems more possible that they have been reduced to work to protect criminals FROM the American people. (conservativedailypost.com)

	Trump and his allies are laying the groundwork for a Saturday Night Massacre President Trump's troubles have only just begun with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's charges against former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, his associate Rick Gates and former foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos, says Washington Post editorial writer Quinta Jurecic. (Adriana Usero, Kate Woodsome/The Washington Post) THE MORNING PLUM: Let’s be clear on what’s happening in our politics right now. President Trump and his media allies are currently creating a vast, multi-tentacled, largely-fictional alternate media reality that casts large swaths of our government as irredeemably corrupt — with the explicitly declared purpose of laying the rationale for Trump to pardon his close associates or shut down the Russia probe, should he deem either necessary. We often hear that Trump and his allies are trying to “distract” from special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s intensifying investigation. That’s true, but this characterization inadequately casts this in terms ordinarily applied to conventional politics. Instead, Trump’s trafficking in this stuff should be seen as another sign of his fundamental unfitness to serve as president. Similar efforts by his media allies should be labeled as a deliberate effort to goad Trump into sliding into full-blown authoritarianism, and to provide the air cover for him if he does do so. The Associated Press reports that people who have spoken to Trump say that he has recently revisited the idea of trying to remove Mueller, now that Mueller appears to be digging into Trump’s finances. Meanwhile, CNN reports that former Trump strategist Stephen K. Bannon is privately urging Trump to try to get Republicans to defund Mueller’s probe. Monday night, Sean Hannity delivered perhaps the most perfect expression yet of efforts to create the rationale for such moves. Hannity dismissed the news of major allegations against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and the cooperation of adviser George Papadopoulos as big nothingburgers. He also hit all the high points of the new Trump/media campaign, points that Trump himself and the White House have made repeatedly in public statements. Those include reviving the made-up scandal that Hillary Clinton approved a deal for a Russian nuclear agency to gain access to U.S. uranium extraction rights in exchange for kickbacks, and the absurdly exaggerated claim that the Clinton campaign, having paid through various intermediaries for research that ultimately led to the “Steele Dossier,” actually colluded with Russia to interfere in the election. These have been extensively fact checked and debunked. In an important new piece, Post fact checker Glenn Kessler blows another big hole in one of this campaign’s key story lines. Kessler notes that multiple Trump media allies are repeating the claim that Clinton gave away “20 percent” of our uranium capacity to Russia. And he shows that, for various technical reasons, this figure is itself absurdly inflated, and the description of this as a Clinton giveaway has no relation to reality. But the real point of Hannity’s presentation came when he flatly accused Mueller of trying to “change the narrative to distract from the real Russia collusion and massive cover-ups.” Hannity added that Mueller “is clearly complicit in the Uranium One scandal.” This is a reference to the fact that Mueller headed the FBI when the uranium deal happened. Reports that the FBI was investigating a Russian energy official’s efforts to corrupt a U.S. company at the time have led to GOP questions about why the Obama administration green-lighted the deal anyway. But this is also absurd, as Kessler explains, since the deal went through an extensive multi-agency process and no evidence has been presented that this process improperly skirted any FBI probe. Regardless, Hannity concluded: “We are at a real crisis point in America tonight.” Trump has tweeted in support of many of these allegations. And as Jonathan Chait details, other Trump media allies have explicitly cited these and other similar story-lines (Mueller’s investigators are Dem donors!) in support of the notion that Mueller should resign or that Trump should close down the Russia probe. We don’t know if Trump will go full authoritarian or not. But as Brian Beutler says, the mere fact that congressional Republicans are not flashing a bright warning sign itself suggests that we cannot count on any procedural response meeting it, if it does come to that. The continued media treatment of efforts to lay the groundwork for such an eventuality as mere efforts to “distract” from Mueller suggests another guardrail is inadequate as well. The Post's Bob Woodward looks back on the Saturday Night Massacre and the circumstances surrounding President Richard Nixon's firing of special prosecutor Archibald Cox. (Peter Stevenson, Thomas LeGro/The Washington Post) Indeed, it’s important to reckon with the scope of what Trump and his allies are alleging. The idea is that Mueller — who was originally appointed to head the FBI by George W. Bush, and who became special counsel because of Trump’s own firing of his FBI director over the Russia probe — originally participated in a hallucinatory conspiracy to cover up Clinton collusion with Russia. Now Mueller is using the current investigation to distract from it. In this alternate universe, all of that is the crisis (Hannity’s word) we face, and the only way to address it is for Trump to close all of it down. Dem strategist Simon Rosenberg is right to point out that Trump’s trafficking in all of this — his endorsement of the idea of preposterous levels of corruption and conspiracy theories unfurling at many levels throughout the government — itself raises questions about Trump’s fitness to serve. We need to confront the insanity and depravity of all this forthrightly, and convey it accurately. * ‘SEETHING’ TRUMP HAD TO BE TALKED DOWN ON MUELLER: CNN reports that after the indictments came down, aides “urgently” advised Trump not to “lash out” at Robert S. Mueller III. And: Watching the developments unfold on the large television screens installed in his private residence, Trump was “seething,” according to a Republican close to the White House. … As the morning carried on … Trump grew increasingly frustrated as he viewed cable news coverage of his onetime campaign chairman arriving at the FBI field office in downtown Washington, believing his former aides’ roles were being inflated. Also, CNN reports that George Papadopoulos’s cooperation has surprised the White House and is “stirring even more unease among Trump’s allies.” Which gives the lie to all the bravado we’re seeing. * TRUMP FRETS THAT MUELLER IS LOOKING AT HIS BUSINESS DEALINGS: The Associated Press adds more on Trump’s state of mind: Trump has become increasingly concerned that the Mueller probe could be moving beyond Russia to an investigation into his personal dealings, two people familiar with the president’s thinking said. … The president publicly mused in a July interview that he might look to fire the special counsel if Mueller began looking into his business dealings, a possibility that has weighed on him in recent weeks, according to two people who have spoken to him but were not authorized to discuss private conversations. You’d think Republicans might want to do something about this before it’s too late. But you would be wrong: * REPUBLICANS NOT FEELING URGENCY ABOUT MUELLER: The Postreports that GOP leaders “avoided the substance of the charges Mueller” filed. Meanwhile: Rank-and-file Republican lawmakers who have raised alarms about the president’s judgment in recent weeks continued to hold out the possibility of passing legislation to head off potential meddling into the investigation by Trump. But few, if any, spoke with great urgency about taking those steps, convinced that Trump was not preparing to fire Mueller imminently. Why act now to warn Trump against precipitating a full-blown constitutional crisis, when we can deal with it if and when it happens? * THE REAL JOHN KELLY SHOWS HIMSELF: In an interview with Laura Ingraham, White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly refused to apologize for lying about the African American congresswoman who spoke up on behalf of the widow of a slain soldier. He also remarked that “the lack of ability to compromise led to the Civil War.” What’s particularly galling about this is that it comes after Kelly lectured us about the disappearance of basic decency and traditional values. Yet here he contemptuously sneers lies about Rep. Frederica Wilson, and when caught out, refuses to take responsibility for it. His reading of history is highly questionable, too. * MUELLER IS RUNNING A VERY AGGRESSIVE INVESTIGATION: The New York Times reports this interesting detail, leading up to the indictments of Paul Manafort and business associate Rick Gates: The Justice Department often invites lawyers to meet and discuss potential indictments. It is both an opportunity for lawyers to argue for leniency, and for prosecutors to spot potential weaknesses in their case. But on Friday night, people close to Mr. Manafort and Mr. Gates and lawyers involved in the investigation said they had received no indication that an indictment against them was imminent. Some of this might be intended as an effort to send a message to others who fear getting swept up in the probe that they should cooperate with it. * MANAFORT’S MONEY LAUNDERING, MAPPED OUT: The Times also has a pretty cool visual depiction of the money laundering laid out in the indictment, as well as what it was spent on. Summary: The two men, who pleaded not guilty, are charged with setting up offshore bank accounts and making wire transfers from them to directly pay for goods, services and real estate in the United States. They are said to have done this without disclosing their foreign bank accounts or paying taxes on the income. The indictment lists more than 30 domestic and foreign entities that were involved in the plan. The sheer brazenness of this scheme continues to surprise, as does its acquisitiveness: More than $12 million was spent on personal goods and more than $6 million went to real estate. * IS A LOUSY TAX CUT REALLY WORTH ALL THIS? Paul Krugman notes that those who will benefit from Trump/GOP tax cuts already are so rich that they won’t really notice their impact, and asks whether it’s really worth the destruction that Trump has unleashed: The G.O.P. policy agenda of rewarding the wealthy at the expense of the poor and working class would be vile even if tax cuts would make the rich ecstatic. The party’s willingness to turn a blind eye to corruption with a hint of treason would be horrifying whatever the motivation. Still, there seems to me to be an extra dimension of awfulness to the whole situation once you realize that all this betrayal serves no real purpose, not even a bad one. But wait, what about the explosion of economic growth and sudden corporate willingness to hand over newly untaxed profits to workers that these tax cuts will surely unleash? ____________ Greg Sargent writes The Plum Line blog, a reported opinion blog with a liberal slant -- what you might call “opinionated reporting” from the left.

	Veterans Wounded in the Line of Duty Find New Mission Hunting Pedophiles OCTOBER 31, 2017 By Jay Syrmopoulos In the wake of the Harvey Weinstein sex abuse scandal there has been renewed media attention being given to the numerous reports of systemic Hollywood pedophilia as alleged by Corey Feldman, Todd Bridges, Elijah Wood and many, many others. Since 2013 one organization has aimed to fight back against pedophiles across the United States: the H.E.R.O. — Human Exploitation Rescue Operative – program gives veterans injured, ill or wounded in the line of duty, training in computer forensics, to work with federal agents in fighting back against pedophiles who use the internet to sexually exploit children. The H.E.R.O. Child Rescue Corps is a government-funded project that trains the veterans to hunt child predators — developed by the National Association to Protect Children (Protect), and in conjunction with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), the veterans receive 11 weeks of intensive training and 10 months of on-the-ground experience, CNN reports. The veterans work in unison with law enforcement, serving as computer forensic analysts as part of a year-long unpaid internship. After completing their training, the vets are placed in Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) field offices across the US. In addition to helping thousands of victimized children, the group’s mission is also to help the veterans find a new purpose and way of giving back to the community and country. J. Christian, CEO of Protect, is himself a veteran – who served as an Army Ranger until his spine was fractured during a mission in Afghanistan. “A lot of the individuals who come into the H.E.R.O. Corps are truly individuals who have lost their mission on the battlefield,” Christian said. “In one second [the veteran’s] entire life changed. When that happens, I know from personal experience, you start to wonder, what can I now do? And once you find this opportunity, you know it’s truly your opportunity to step back into that role,” Christian told CNN. “You see groups of children being abused at levels the average American cannot fathom,” Christian explained. “If you imagine an infant getting gagged and bound tortured, it’s not a rare occurrence to come across.” According to a CNN report: According to Christian, the U.S. is the largest producer of child pornography in the world. He also points to research showing the U.S. is home to the most commercial child porn websites. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children says its Victim Identification Program, which aids law enforcement in efforts to locate and rescue child victims, has reviewed more than 158 million images and videos, since 1998. In 2008, an ICAC Task Force network identified over 300,000 unique computers engaged in trafficking child pornography. A study by the University of New Hampshire found that 55 percent of those who possess or trade child pornography, are hands-on offenders. With such overwhelming figures, it means that the wounded veterans have a chance to find a new mission in the much needed to field of forensic analysis of digital evidence necessary to convict child porn traffickers and, potentially, active child abusers. There are more than 747,000 registered sex offenders in the U.S., with as many as 100,000 who are not complying with their judicial supervision or missing, according to The Demand Project, with the group reporting that child pornography is one of the fastest growing crimes in the country, with a 2,500 percent increase in arrests over the past decade One H.E.R.O. trainee, Army Sgt. Tom Block, who was the Army Times Soldier of the year in 2014 for courage displayed on the battlefield, said that the ability to “go after the bad guys again” and go after the “bullies” again gave him a renewed sense of purpose. “It’s an opportunity for me to go after bad guys again. The complete scope of the crime is a lot more than people probably think,” he told CNN. Sgt. Block’s life was forever changed on October 6, 2013, when he and fellow Rangers embarked on a direct-action raid to root out insurgent bombers, according to CNN. Block reportedly spotted a couple in a courtyard and ordered the duo to put their hands up. One of the insurgents detonated an explosive strapped to her body. “From what I’m told the explosion leveled some of the house. The only thing that separated me [from the suicide bomber] was the guy I was holding onto. And all of his bones ended up in my American flag that was wrapped around my plates and melted. And I think I got a chunk of him in my cheek, because I have shrapnel lodged in there,” Block said. Doctors were able to save the vision in Block’s left eye, but unable to save his right eye – so now he wears a prosthetic eye bearing the Captain America shield. Sgt. “He doesn’t like bullies. And neither do I,” Block said. While admitting that it can be hard to look in the mirror some days, Block says making someone else’s life better gives meaning to his life after-the-fact. “I’ll be honest, looking in the mirror can be tough sometimes,” says Block. “But you keep your faith, you keep your confidence, and you go out there and try to make somebody else’s life better. It’s what you do after-the-fact, and I think I’m trying to do a pretty damn good job.” Finding meaning in helping others is a lesson we should all take to heart! The H.E.R.O. Corps plans to put 200 of its operatives into US law enforcement agencies by 2018. Applications for new operatives can be made on the official H.E.R.O. website. Please share this inspiring message. Take a look at a video describing the H.E.R.O.s: This article first appeared at The Free Thought Project. (activistpost.com)
