$400 Million Was Just The Beginning

- Barack HUSSEIN Obama on why he gave the Iranians $400 million of our taxpayer dollars without telling us
When Ronald Reagan was ready to assume the presidency in 1980, the Iranian’s so feared him that the then ongoing hostage crisis came to an end within minutes of him being sworn into office. Freed were the 52 hostages that were held for 444-days…freed with not one dime in ransom being paid or one prisoner being swapped for their release.
Now as the Obama presidency is (thankfully) coming to end,
we find out that when the four Americans (Washington Post Tehran correspondent
Jason Rezaian, former U.S. Marine Amir Hekmati, Christian Pastor Saeed Abedini,
and Nosratollah Khosrawi-Roodsari) being held by Iran were released last
January 16th, not only did Obama turn over seven Iranians we had detained for
sanctions violations related to Iran’s nuclear program, he also agreed to drop
extradition requests for 14 others, and acquiesced to Iran’s demand for cash “to show they had gained something tangible.”

And why was the $400 million paid in foreign currency… simply
because any transaction with Iran in U.S. dollars is illegal under U.S.
law…meaning Obama once again basically skirted our laws by turning U.S. dollars
into foreign currency just to get a 'landmark' deal he hoped would serve his legacy well. And
he did so while claiming that due to international sanctions against Iran, the
payment had to be made in cash…just not in American dollars.
And the sanctions referring is according to whistle blower Chase
Foster, a State Department official who leaked the details of the prisoner-swap
talks that the Obama administration still claims never happened.
According to Foster, during the back-and-forth regarding the Obama
wanted ‘landmark’ nuclear deal, the Iranians left on the
table the possibility that talks concerning the prisoners…the
hostages…might be
worth pursuing. However, the Iranians never did acknowledge that talks
were being held, and neither did Obama or his minions even though we now
know that secret
talks were most assuredly happening in conjunction with the then ongoing
nuclear negotiations being held in Geneva, Switzerland.
And, according to Foster, these prisoner talks were courtesy
of Secretary of State John ‘Swiftboat’ Kerry and U.S. lead negotiator Wendy
Sherman…the very same folks negotiating centrifuges, inspectors, and reactors
with the enemy. And now we find out that these prisoner talks were actually going
on over a year’s time despite the administration claims…or more precisely the
administration lies…that the release of prisoners was never discussed during
the nuclear negotiations.

And here’s something even more absurd than simply being just
nonsense…Obama said the $400 million payment had to be made in such a quick and
timely manner after negotiations with Iran were concluding, finalized, and
implemented, because Iranian leaders “urgently
needed money” due to the many years of economic sanctions being placed
against them because of their (anything but) ‘peaceful’ nuclear program.

And let’s not forget that some of
those monies will most assuredly be used to move ever forward with steps to try and wipe
Israel…the ‘Little Satan’…off the map.
So thanks to Obama, our taxpayer dollars have done
nothing but help appease the world's number one state sponsor of terrorism
and to help implement what Obama and his minions still call a ‘landmark’ nuclear
deal. ‘Landmark’ only in the worst possible sense as this ‘very bad’ deal allows
Iran…the very country who continues to call us the ‘Great Satan’…to re-enter the
international economic stage thus giving them access to long-frozen funds... funds not only
frozen by us but by other nations as well.

In fact, as if adding insult to injury, an Iranian news site
close to the Revolutionary Guard, the Tasnim Agency, said the cash paid was actually
a “ransom” and that it arrived at
Tehran’s Mehrabad airport on the very same day that the now released American hostages
departed. And how do we know this to be true…because high-ranking Revolutionary Guard
commanders, including General Mohammad Reza Naghdi, commander of the Guard’s
Basij militia, boasted at the time that the Americans “had succumbed to Iranian pressure” and that “Taking this much money back was in return for the release of the
American spies,” with these very words being said over Iranian state media.
And if Iran believes the cash paid was a ransom know that
both ‘We the People’ and the rest of the world believes it to be so as well…believes
it to be so as the world now laughs at how far our beloved America has fallen
under the stewardship of a president who acquiesces to the ransom demands of
the enemy.
And here's a little detail that just came to light as I write this...a
little detail omitted by Obama in all his words said to the
press...according to released hostage Pastor Saeed Abedini...their plane
in ready-to-go mode sat on the runway for "hours and hours" and was not allowed
to take off until the monies were actually in Iranian hands...a
hallmark of all ransoms paid.
But it was General Naghdi’s very words, “had succumbed to Iranian pressure”…that has convinced former UN
Ambassador John Bolton that the payment of $400 million to Iran just as four
Americans were being released was “absolutely
a ransom” and that “the release of
the hostages by Iran, the payment of a $1.7 billion settlement, of which the
400 million in cash was just the first installment, and the Iran nuclear deal
were part of a package.”
And it’s a package that Obama hoped would never come to
light, so doing what he does best, Obama now has cover-ups and excuses
being concocted
and put into place to cover what is yet another one of his many
treasonous acts...to yet again cover his outwardly ‘aiding and abetting’
the enemy. In fact, State Department
spokesmouth John Kirby…an expert at playing the game of word
semantics…was
quick to say that, "As we've made
clear, the negotiations over the settlement of an outstanding claim…were
completely separate from the discussions about returning our American citizens
home…Not only were the two negotiations separate…they were conducted by
different teams on each side, including, in the case of the Hague claims, by
technical experts involved in these negotiations for many years."
But Kirby’s words of excuses and coverups make little
difference to the fact that a ransom was indeed paid no matter that separate
agreements may or may not have been made by people separate from those making deals
regarding centrifuges, inspectors, and reactors… as in John Kerry and Wendy
Sherman.
And Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton, a vocal critic of Obama’s
‘very bad' nuclear deal, also said it quite well when he accused Obama of paying
“a $1.7 billion ransom to the ayatollahs
for U.S. hostages,” and added that, “This
break with longstanding U.S. policy put a price on the head of Americans, and
has led Iran to continue its illegal seizures” of Americans.
And how right he is for the bottom line is that Barack
HUSSEIN Obama secretly (and possibly illegally) paid a ransom to the
enemy…a ransom that now puts even more American lives in danger,
especially those living and working in countries that don’t like us very
much. And the
sad reality is that once Iran released the four American hostages,
Obama’s appeasement emboldened them to kidnap another three
Americans…Iranian-Americans Siamak Namazi (an energy executive), his
80-year old
father Baquer Namazi, and San Diego resident Reza Shahini…and to kidnap
dual-nationals
from Canada, France, and Great Britain as well. And why...to most likely
increase their leverage to force another prisoner exchange and/or cash
payment in
the final months of the enemy-appeasing Obama administration.

And the fact is that Royce’s words alone should be grounds
for declaring Barack HUSSEIN Obama unfit to hold office for accommodating the
enemy through what in reality is bribes, ransom, and secret agreements is
indeed grounds for treason.

And appeasement concerning Iran is something Hillary is all too
familiar with for back in 2012, the Clinton Foundation sought but failed to
receive State Department approval for CEO Shamsul Azhar bin Abbas of Petronas, a
Malaysian oil company doing business with Iran, to come to the U.S. to attend
the Foundation’s annual meeting. Now why would Hillary or her and Billy-Boy’s
foundation even entertain such a thought knowing that the company did business…and
a lot of it…with the very country she helped place sanctions against. And also
while serving as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton withheld documents requested under FOIA
regarding State Department waivers given to business and individuals doing
business with Iran.

And while there are now calls for a Congressional
investigation into not only the already completed $400 million cash
transfer,
but also calls to require…to demand…that the White House make public the
details of the entire what will be $1.7 billion transfer to Iran,
members of Congress are trying to get passed legislation that would stop
Obama from making any further cash payments to our enemy Iran. But being
that
we know how long and how drawn out these investigations tend to be, I
think
Obama will be long out of office before any resolution is reached and
before Hillary
becomes our next president.
A true disaster for America that involves more than just monies…all
while dancing in the streets in Iran becomes our sad new reality.
