Wait, what?
Too much cynicism is just as bad (for the person) as believing in unicorns and liberalism.
Deep state trying to stir things up?
And being able to admit “I was wrong” is a sterling quality. I’ve learned over the years to embrace it. Life is simpler that way, with less anxiety.
Do we really believe the MSM will ever admit that Trump is building the wall, even as it goes up. If revealed, will they ever cover it except with a “SPIN”. They may ignore it.
They are in full campaign mode with their “For the Children Crusade”. It’s all about next November, always has been from the start.
They want desperately to gain the House and impeach Trump. They already know they don’t have the votes in the Senate.
8 bombs away on Palm Sunday-So far no reporting on TV.
Thanks. I used to check out Zero Hedge quite a bit. Haven’t lately - too much time here @ Q thread.
Thank Q more rabbit holes! Yeah!
If it were true, it would have to be on the Court Docket. Don’t know exactly how that works here. I use the link at the AG for MO. to review what happens in my State.
If this was a Federal Case, there might be a way to check it out @ DOJ website.
You are welcome.
I’m sure you remember Solyndra...$514,000,000 of our money flushed down the crapper in under a year. Gone!
Solyndra wankers testifying in front of some time-burning + useless Congressional committee:
“Uuuhhhh....we don’t know where the money went.”
And THAT was THAT. The end. No prosecution, no hangings, hell...no whack across the knuckles with a steel ruler. And low of lows, we didn’t get any chance to read the text of a sternly-worded letter containing the words “deeply concerned” and “troubling”.
Right then I knew we were witnessing The Upside Down.
I also think if it were true the 8chan guys would have picked it up or someone would have tweeted about it.
It would be really hard to keep that under the radar.
Willing to admit I could be wrong, we seem to have gone through the looking glass and entered the twilight zone.
Mixed metaphors I know.
Isn’t that the company that now owns a huge compound in the far east that Obama frequents?
SSSCCCCCHHHHHHLLLLOOOONNNNNNGGGGG
Well. My cuz stumped me with a Chilean Grappa/Brandy/Distilled wine
The bottle is a Maoi all the way down. Easter Isle. Just not only neck up, the whole body
Whooooa
It COULD be that the operations against the mullahs and Hezbollah have already begun.
(14) I thought that the omnibus spending bill was intended to TRAIN our people, but it could be that the bill is for REPLENISHING STOCKS after we use them.
In other words, it could be that everything has already started.

This.
(17) The US military has already carried out operations that would've been impossible under other presidents.
This.https://t.co/TS5630eB1A— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) March 25, 2018
(18) The real target was the Pakistani ISI Covert Action Division.
We may have killed most of them.

(19) The USS Jimmy Carter carried out two combat missions in the Pacific in 2017.
They flew the Jolly Roger to signify success.
(20) And we annihilated a Russian ground unit in Syria, killing or wounding every single man.
What do all three of these actions have in common?
(21) All three actions were carried out against nuclear powers.
Their nuclear weapons were worthless.
(22) So don't kid yourself: The mullahs and Hezbollah WILL be defeated.
The operation may have already begun...
True. That money was flushed, for Obama supporters and agendas.
:)Hear you,was on a budget because it was a gift.Did my research and feel go about it.
HERE’S THE BACKGROUND INFORMATION FROM FORTUNE:
Whats Behind the Financial Dispute Between the U.S. and Iran?
In November 1979, Irans revolutionary government took 52 Americans hostages at the U.S. embassy, and the U.S. severed diplomatic relations with Tehran. In retaliation, Washington froze $12 billion in Iranian assets held on our shores.
I also had a caveat that while it had been debunked, that was not necessarily a for sure thing these days. These Video bloggers really should at least search the court records or something.
Given the numerous articles such as this one, explaining the council and interaction, it is JMHO, that the story about Obama paying restitution is more likely than not to be false. Don’t give up hope though, if any of that cash found it’s way to purchase and Island compound, we may yet be able to seize it under asset forfeiture laws.
The hostage crisis was resolved in 1981 at a conference in Algiers, and the U.S. returned $3 billion to Iran, with more funds going either to pay creditors, or into escrow.
The two nations also established a tribunal in the Hague called the Iran United States Claims Tribunal to settle claims both leveled by each government against the other, U.S. citizens versus Iran, and vice versa.
The major issue between the two governments was a $400 million payment for military equipment made by the government of the Shah of Iran, prior to the 1979 uprising that topped him.
The U.S. banned delivery of the jets and other weapons amid the hostage crisis, but froze the $400 million advance payment.
The Pentagon handled arms purchases from foreign countries, says Gary Sick, a former National Security Council official who served as the principal White House aide for Iran during the Iranian Revolution and the hostage crisis.
Defense took care of the details. So the $400 million scheduled purchase was a government-to-government transaction. The U.S. government was holding the money. Thats why it was so difficult to resolve.
By 2015, the issue stood before a panel of nine judges, including three independent jurists, who were reportedly near a decision on binding arbitration. According to Obama administration officials, the U.S. was concerned that the tribunal would mandate an award in the multiple billions of dollars. The Iranians wanted $10 billion, says Sick.I estimate that the tribunal would have awarded them $4 billion. Thats what the lawyers were saying. Its not as much as they wanted, but a lot more than we paid.
So instead, the U.S. negotiators convinced Iran to move the dispute from arbitration to a private settlement. The two sides reached an agreement in mid-2015, at the same time as the U.S. and Iran reached a comprehensive pact on curtailing Irans development of nuclear weapons.
The financial deal called for the U.S. to refund $1.7 billion to Tehran, consisting of the original $400 million contract for military equipment, plus $1.3 billion in interest.

I will just note for the record that the Carter CIA participated in bringing down the Shah due to a dispute over the oil leases. Carter thought a religious man would be better to deal with. That’s per some reading that I did way back then. I’m sure the lefties had their own version too.
