Alabama Liberation Front has been collecting more puzzling facts in the case of the Hezbollah Counterfeit Charity work (Cash-Bollah 3: Advancing the story) which he dubs “Cash-Bollah (a/k/a Hez-Dollars)” — nice name!

For me, at the time when the Hezbollah “charity work” news releases were flooding the MSM network, was the strange terminology. Everytime the money was mentioned… the money was not only American, but “crisp”. (Every reporter working from the same press release, script, or something? Don’t say plagerism??) Over and over:

• Seattle Times (via LA Times): “At a school in south Beirut’s Bourj el-Barajneh neighborhood, Hezbollah started handing out crisp $100 bills to residents who lost homes in the Israeli bombing campaign — $12,000 to each claimant. The stacks of bills were pulled out of a suitcase. Hezbollah is financed by oil-rich Iran.”
• SF Chronicle (via NY Times): “Hezbollah volunteers handed out grants of $12,000 — in stacks of crisp U.S. $100 bills — as part of its campaign to help families whose houses were destroyed over the past month.”

• Sunday Herald: ““Hezbollah keeps it promises and here is the proof,” acknowledged one man pocketing some of the crisp $100 bills handed out by Hezbollah members, who also called people by phone to come and collect their financial assistance.”
• AP: “In an embarrassment to the Lebanese government, Hezbollah started handing out crisp $100 bills Friday to residents who lost their homes in the Israeli bombing campaign — $12,000 to each claimant at a school in south Beirut.”

But beyond the phraseology of the MSM, it comes down to where the money is flowing from. If in fact this is counterfeit cash, we already know that North Korea has been in the counterfeiting business. And that’s a lot easier to bankroll the “generousity” than by using Iranian oil money. I suspect it will only be a short time before we see a more concrete link betweek North Korea - Iran - Hezbollah.

This morning Neal Boortz tips the story about English night vision goggles recovered by the IDF that travelled England - UN and then via Iran to Hezbollah. (But don’t worry… diplomacy and negotiation with Iran will work this time with respect to their development of nuclear capabilities.)

Here’s hoping that we keep on the trail of these crisp $100 bills!
