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.

Convention of the states...ha! Many politicians on the state level drool over the prospect of national politics. You either play their game or go back to the private sector. Convention of the states will just never happen and even if it did, could anyone guarantee liberal states wouldn't shove some odd damn progressive agenda as well as conservatives?

So?

We were 37 years late in paying that money back.
We were unable to make a wire transfer at this time.
The Iran regime could not break any 100’s in the market place.
There was an earthquake.
All our US planes were down for maintenance.
It was locusts!
They ran outta gas!!
I hadda flat tire!!!
I couldn't get a taxi!!!!

The fact that hostages (who had them again?) were released the SAME day is mere co-incidence...

Let’s see... High Crimes and Misdemeanors,right? Well,this was conducted... just like a crime. Unmarked plane, laundered money, secrecy and denial. Check. The laundered money was flown in an airplane, no doubt high up in the sky. So, what else do you need? Seems like all the makings of an impeachment pie, don’t you think? Worth an investigation, at least,bro.

Well, there is a cadre on FR who are apparently convinced that nothing could possibly go wrong. Are you suggesting they are naive?

I'm suggesting nothing. It's my own opinion. I wish it were possible, but I've lost ALL faith in our gubbamint(s).

The criminality has skyrocketed, they don't even attempt to hide it any longer.

We've lost our government. Not sure where Americans are to turn.

I know where...




 

2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people, who are called by my name,
shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways; ,

then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.

You're good...you're real good. lol

We have to put things in perspective...right?

Sometimes, being in the foxhole, we lose sight of the Blessed Hope.

Thanx for the centering.

You’re still ahead of those who are naive enough to still have some faith in government. If you are standing on a small spot of solid ground but surrounded by quicksand it is much better to know that than think everything is fine.

I forget all too often myself.

We need to hold each other’s arms up.

(Even when Israel was carried off into captivity; there was STILL hope!)
