PART VI – THE OBAMA DUPLICITY
Last time we talked Hillary and the Russians and the Uranium One deal, which Clinton steered through the approval process. Uranium One got the rights to 20% of America’s uranium – an essential element in the production of nuclear weapons. The Clinton Foundation – ‘coincidentally’ – received hundreds of millions of dollars. But the set up for this installment lies not in PART V – but in PART I. President Obama believed that the Iranian nuclear deal was the crowning achievement of his foreign policy. But in reality it was a foreign policy disaster. While posing as a means to prevent or delay Iran from getting a home-grown nuclear weapon, it actually guaranteed that Iran would be able to build a bomb – and then provided the funds to pursue that goal. In fact, Congress knew that it was such a bad deal that it would never have received Senate approval, so the Obama administration made an end run around Congress to enact the deal. And then it got worse. Here’s what I wrote at the time.
- President Obama authorized the transfer of $1.7 billion in foreign cash. It was flown to Tehran. Coincidentally, four American hostages were immediately released. COINCIDENTALLY! This money did not go through any of the usual financial channels.[i]
- As part of that arrangement with Washington that Iran never intended to keep, the Iranians got $100 billion of assets – unfrozen.[ii]
- It was later reported that Iran may have received $33.6 billion “$33.6 billion in secret cash and gold payments facilitated by the Obama administration between 2014 and 2016.”[iii] [Secret, ‘laundered’ money, like a drug kingpin or gun runner.]
In moving all of this money, Obama bypassed “all legal restrictions.” It gets worse. By its actions his administration was not trying to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear capability, but rather was arranging to supply Iran with atomic fuel. This was confirmed by the President of Argentina. Conclusion: The Obama White House was fully aware and tacitly approving of Iran acquiring nuclear capability. To grease the skids and avoid detection, a covert payment system was set up involving Russia and Iran with kickbacks to ‘select’ American interests, such as the Clinton Foundation. Just one kickback in the related to Uranium One netted the Clinton Foundation $31 million.[iv]
New Revelations
We now have new revelations from a report prepared by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. But first, just a little bit of what we already knew. After the Iran deal went into effect, it was found that President Obama had neglected to tell Congress about some “secret side deals” regarding inspections. [A mere oversight, I’m sure.] We later learned that he had sent a plane load of cash – $400 million in euros and Swiss currency – on the very same day that four American hostages were released by Tehran. [What an amazing coincidence!] That was followed by two more “secret flights” delivering some more cash; $1.3 billion to be exact.[v]
Now to the new. Under the deal signed with Iran, the Mullah’s were to be denied access to the American financial system. This was guaranteed to Congress by the President’s Secretary of the Treasury. But it was not so. The report reveals: “Despite these claims, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, at the direction of the U.S. State Department, granted a specific license that authorized a conversion of Iranian assets worth billions of U.S. dollars using the U.S. financial system.” It was actually the banks that refused – because they deemed illegal and they would be exposing themselves legally.[vi]
Marc Thiessen summarized nicely the revelations contained in the report. “The Obama administration: (1) told Congress it would not allow Iran access to U.S. financial institutions; (2) issued a special license allowing Iran to do exactly that; (3) unsuccessfully pressured U.S. banks to help Iran; (4) lied to Congress and the American people about what it had done; (5) admitted in internal emails that these efforts ‘exceeded’ U.S. obligations under the nuclear deal; (6) sent officials, including bank regulators, around the world to urge foreign financial institutions to do business with Iran; and (7) promised that they would get nothing more than a slap on the wrist for violating U.S. sanctions.”[vii] This is the record of a presidency obsessed with (1) Getting any deal with Iran, (2) Enabling Iran to acquire nuclear weapons, (3) Displaying willingness to skirt the law to do so. President Obama and his minion were working against American interests and the interests of its greatest ally in the region, Israel. And they were doing so in support of the enemy state of Iran, probably the chief state supporter of terror in the world. What’s wrong with this picture? That’s some pretty dark Deep State shenanigans going on!
