Kind of. They do actually go through Ali (as), via Imam Jafar al Sadiq (as), but they confusingly claim that lineage orginates to Abu Bakr (most likley because the imam married into Abu Bakr's family). I personally think they do contain the wisdom taught by Imam Ali (as) regardless of thier claims, but it would better to go via other tariqas, such as the Shadhili.

Salam bro.

I had no idea there were other neoplatosnist Shia's around here. Saw you guys talking in the archives. I would like to get more aquanted with you guys if possible so we can discuss some ideas. Where can i find you guys?

I agree with your first statement's sentiments. I feel that there is a fine balance between the esoteric and exoteric that must be reached, and too much of either will cause you to deviate. yes the qarmatians attacked mecca, and stole the stone for some time.
>what do you think about current Shia leadership, specifically Khamenei? As time goes on I am liking him more and more.
I support them, and I find the WF system acceptable, but I am not interested in politics as much as I once was. What interests my is increasing my proximity to the Divine.
