OBAMA ILLEGALLY AIRLIFTED $400 MILLION IN CASH TO IRAN IN UNMARKED PLANE
FrontPage Magazine ^ | August 3, 2016 | Daniel Greenfield

Funding Iran directly funds terrorism because the Iranian regime is effectively a terror state. Back in the Senate, Obama fought against the classification of the Revolutionary Guard, a key Iranian political-military institution, as terrorists. He's remained consistent since then.

3. This is simply treason. Obama is aiding and abetting the murder of Americans. He's funding terrorism. He's funding Iran's wars in the region, which aside from Israel, include campaigns in Iraq and Syria that have dragged the United States in.

The Obama administration secretly organized an airlift of $400 million worth of cash to Iran that coincided with the January release of four Americans detained in Tehran, according to U.S. and European officials and congressional staff briefed on the operation afterward.

Wooden pallets stacked with euros, Swiss francs and other currencies were flown into Iran on an unmarked cargo plane, according to these officials. The U.S. procured the money from the central banks of the Netherlands and Switzerland, they said.

Note the secretive Air America type tactics.

Since the cash shipment, the intelligence arm of the Revolutionary Guard has arrested two more Iranian-Americans. Tehran has also detained dual-nationals from France, Canada and the U.K. in recent months.

...

Obama picked up foreign money from foreign banks, put them in an unmarked cargo plane and then flew them to Iran. This is not the normative way of transferring money to foreign governments.

This is the way criminals operate. Criminals like Obama.

...

Iranian press reports have quoted senior Iranian defense officials describing the cash as a ransom payment.

And the best part is it was illegal...

The $400 million was paid in foreign currency because any transaction with Iran in U.S. dollars is illegal under U.S. law.

As I emailed to Lars Larson on his radio show.

Let's all give the liar as much rope as he needs to hang himself.

Someone should ask which Federal Agency provided the money?

Someone should ask which budget line item or which recent court decision allows for a $400 million expenditure by the Executive Branch.

Someone should ask the federal Department or Agency Inspector General of every agency involved who in that Agency has a $400 million dollar signature authority to expend funds.

Someone should ask to see the receipts from the people who have $400 million payment authority for the money to be transferred to whatever agency/contractor had the unmarked aircraft.

Then people who did not have authority to distribute funds not in the budget or not a Budget line item should be charged with criminal offenses. Then flip them up the chain of command to the Big Zero or whoever will take the fall for him. The people who do not question illegal orders should pay the price for their actions.

John F Kerry

Then it is time for the conservative presidents to ignore the laws he doesn’t like . . . and say, “You all didn’t have any problems with your boy when he did it!”

They should have used Zimbabwe currency. It would have taken a SUPER TANKER......................

Wikipedia says Zimbabwe doesn't have indigenous currency. Uses US Dollars and South African Rand.

Looks like Algerian Dinars would do the trick. About 44 billion of them, to be more accurate. Need to cram them in this baby, and air drop them over Tehran. Don't spend them in one place, Suckers!

It is called “money laundering”.

Illegal when the Mafia does it, and even when semi-legitimate currency traders do it.

Supposed to make the source of the money harder to trace.

“So what? Since no one in “authority” or “leadership” does anything to hold those responsible accountable...so what? We live in lawless times with a criminal government”.

Thass right! We will tolerate it. We tolerate jus about everything now days.

That jus who we are.

Outrageous in-yer-face Treason exposed for the world to see.

Obvious cash transfer to terrorists.

Legitimate intergovernment payments are made by electronic transfers, and are settled through the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland – a global central bank whose customers are nations' central banks.

A real free press would investigate this abomination. A real opposition party would impeach all public officials involved, & prosecute all other perps who enabled it.

I said the seven years ago...

The only difference between Barrack Obama and Jimmy Carter is they gave Obama a Nobel Peace Prize BEFORE he was a failure -Jimmy Carter after.

Ok. So... Obozo goes on TV tonight and mumble-bumbles about needing to send Euros and Francs to Iran because the sanctions have worked so well that we don't have bank accounts. Incredible lie. Search United States Iran foreign trade. Go to the U.S. Census Bureau site that clearly shows in 2016 we have sold Iran $65 million in goods so far this year. They sold us $28 million so we have a trade surplus with Iran of approximately $38 million. Are we supposed to believe that we have no bank account and that we pay Iran and Iran pays us in pallets of Euros and Francs??? No way! Obozo, once again, is a clueless moron who lies and the idiots in the media lap it up. Simple fact checking will clearly demonstrate that the U.S. pays Iran through banks every stinking week... European innocents will be dying in untold numbers with $400 million in cash supporting terror networks...Paging Mr. Boener, er, I mean, Ryan...

If the pre-revolution funds were, in fact, still in escrow somewhere, the funds could just be released and the money would flow right back to Iran. That loot has been sitting is some bank somewhere for 30+ years. Just say the word and the funds are good to go. No need to send pallets of Euros and Francs. Just release the funds and POOF! off they go to Tehran. If these funds were NOT holdover funds from the Shah era, then one would have to assume that our government would have to follow constitutional procedure and pay the funds under some budgetary authorization... Obozo outdid himself tonight in lying to the American Sheeple...

It is clear that Obozo and Jarred sent $400 million in Euros and Francs to the Iranians so the Iranians could use that cash to finance terror cells in Europe. The terrorists need cash to live on while they plot. They can’t use checks or credit cards or they would be detected. They need cash and Obozo and Company just sent them $400 million. Watch for many, many newly dead Europeans in the coming weeks... or maybe we have already been watching the results...

“No doubt Speaker Boehner, er, I mean, Ryan is drafting up articles of impeachment at this very moment...”

No doubt, Ryan will move to impeach Trump as soon as he takes the oath of office.
