Why not? Obama was so useful to the Islamic Republic, and Clinton promises just more of the same. NIAC has been established in court as a lobbying group for the Islamic Republic of Iran. Said Michael Rubin: “Jamal Abdi, NIAC’s policy director, now appears to push aside any pretense that NIAC is something other than Iran’s lobby. Speaking at the forthcoming ‘Expose AIPAC’ conference, Abdi is featured on the ‘Training: Constituent Lobbying for Iran’ panel. Oops.” Iranian freedom activist Hassan Daioleslam “documented over a two-year period that NIAC is a front group lobbying on behalf of the Iranian regime.” NIAC had to pay him nearly $200,000 in legal fees after they sued him for defamation over his accusation that they were a front group for the mullahs, and lost.
“Clinton Reaches Out to An Iranian Front Group for Campaign Donations,” by S. Noble, Independent Sentinel, February 20, 2016 (thanks to Jerk Chicken):
When you see who Hillary takes money from, you have to wonder what she will do in return. She is already a known threat to our national security.
Hillary Clinton is being outspent by Bernie Sanders 3 to 1 and keeps going back to the same donors who have for the most part given the maximum donations, but don’t worry, she’s found some new donors.
A pro-Iran lobby group that is working against US interests and is actively trying to kill new antiterrorism laws will be at a fundraising event with her this weekend.
This Sunday, Clinton will attend a fundraiser hosted by Twitter executive Omid Kordestani and his wife Gisel Hiscock along with National Iranian American Council (NIAC) board member Lily Sarafan and Noosheen Hashemi, who serves on the pro-Iran advocacy group Ploughshares, a major funder of the pro-Iran agenda.
NIAC advocates against the pro-Israel community and on Iran’s behalf, they pushed against sanctions, have close ties to Barack Obama, pressured the US to abandon sanctions, and they spread propaganda the same way Press TV does. In 2013, they put out the lie that President Rouhani was a moderate and US papers lapped it up.
Ploughshares partners with NIAC and with the White House to pressure the Jewish community and others to back the Iran nuclear deal.
Iranian state-run media have referred to the National Iranian-American Council (NIAC) since at least 2006 as “Iran’s lobby” in the U.S.
It portrays itself in the media as an independent group of Iranian expatriates. But Sam Nunberg, director of the Legal Project at the Middle East Forum project, describes the NIAC as an Iranian “front group.”
And documents released during the discovery phase of a defamation lawsuit NIAC filed against Seid Hassan Daioleslam, editor of the Iranian American Forum and one of the regime’s most public critics, include correspondence with Mohammed Javad Zaif, then Iran’s permanent representative to the United Nations. He later negotiated the nuclear “deal” with Iran.
NIAC spends millions to propagandize the Iran nuclear deal as a positive for US national security.
Check out one of their full-page New York Times ads.
They are working to block legislation that will require Iranians to enter the US without a visa. The legislation is meant to keep terrorists out of the country. Why do the Iranians want that, do you think?
Back in 2013, Javad Zarif, the Iranian Foreign Minister who negotiated the peace talks with Iran, told Mehr News that they would use our democracy and our divisions against us:
“The Republic of Iran has the power and capacity to challenge U.S. and Israel in the international arena. To achieve this we must believe in the abilities of ourselves and of our diplomatic team. If we think that there is a unified voice in America, we are mistaken. By utilizing the opposing views in the U.S. we can be the winners in the (diplomatic) scene, and, of course, we can take advantage of the Zionist regime’s weaknesses.”
Also in 2013, Hossein Naghavi, the speaker of the parliament’s Committee described Zarif’s plan to play our game:
“We consider enemies as enemies and believe that we should not let the Zionists (Israel) present themselves as victims. We believe the U.S. is not a super-power and we can defeat the U.S. and Israel in the diplomatic arena. We should believe in the power and capacities of the revolution and the country. The United States and the Zionists want to show that Iran has no room to play. But we have both the power and the capacity. We know the rules of the game and we can play the best game.”
The National Iranian American Council (NIAC) aggressively lobbies on behalf of the Iranian government likely with direct communications to Tehran itself.
This group has ties to Hollywood, industry, Silicon Valley and the White House.
Iran’s representatives in the US will certainly expect favors for their donations.

Hillary is the bottom of the barrel. And if she isn’t a phony then no one is a phony (e.g., her putting on a contrived southern accent when speaking to Southern liberals). Anyone who votes for this woman owes an apology to America.
Most of those who do vote for her will never know they do owe an apology to American since their kind of ignorance tends to be perpetual, but that they do, I would contend, is indisputable since this woman has never gotten anything right and yet much wrong, including, let’s see here, Whitewater, Castle Grande, the Rose Law firm’s billing records, Travelgate, health insurance reform, being an accessory after the fact in covering for her husband’s many sexual violations, accepting millions from Muslim regimes which, as Rand Paul stated to his credit, “treat their women as cattle,” the Benghazi fiasco and tragedy, the e-mail mess———ah, it’s a very long list of what this putrid person has “accomplished.”
Anyone supporting her is a fool at best, at worst something very bad indeed. She fills me with contempt when I think of her so I try to minimize the times when I think of her. I can respect no one who supports her. No one.
And what an irony, what a delicious irony, that this woman who goes on and on and on about women’s rights would be NOWHERE but for her husband, contra other women like Rice and Palin who made it on their own. Well, just one more reason to dismiss this malicious fool. And the fact that she hasn’t been dismissed by now speaks volumes of the state America is in right now. Oh yeah, big time.

So a new leader must be wise to this and prepared to take unconventional means of stopping their agenda. We have to understand the nature of this guerilla warfare that is being waged by Obama and the power brokers that put him there. Of course, it’s Islamic and not the blacks. The blacks are a ruse: they are being used. Probably why Sharpton was in the place all the time–he’s too stupid to see.

I have *no* trouble with Obama being a person of color, WorkingClassPost.
If we had elected the stalwart Allen West in 2008–or even, say, Condaleeza Rice or Colin Powell, who are less than perfect in their understanding of Islam, but are fundamentally decent as people–I would applaud.
But Obama has been terribly destructive to the United States, and in fact has no love for America. He has greatly compromised both our safety and freedom and the safety and freedom of our allies in the rest of the free West. I believe Britons are also less safe than they were seven years ago, in part due to the actions of this appalling occupant of the White House.
WorkingClassPost says
Agreed,entirely.
If you look again you’ll see that I wrote that in the past tense, because although it looked like that at the time, it certainly doesn’t now.
Thing with Hilary though, is that it don’t look good, even before the first proper vote is cast.

gravenimage says : “…..He has greatly compromised both our safety and freedom and the safety and freedom of our allies in the rest of the free West. I believe Britons are also less safe than they were seven years ago, in part due to the actions of this appalling occupant of the White House.”
You believe Britons…? we *know*.
Graven, you hit it indeed! The US is (still) the leading power of the west, including some hegemony – liked by some and disliked by others; comes with being the leading power. Nevertheless, hegemony also implies protection, which the west and Europe in particular relied on; without wanting to pull their own weight of course. The European NATO expenditure tells the tale, practically everyone below or way below the 2%, except the US, keeping up 4% on defende spending. The German army’s spending is rather high, due to Germany’s GDP, but the German Army is spending on anti- and counter insurgency warfare. Perhaps in all of Europe the German generals are the only ones, in the upper echelons, with any brains left. Now, to that cozy protection by Obama, add Merkel, Hollande & Co. — and we are all in the cra…pers! Sorry for the lingo.
The bulk of your media seems to be thoroughly anti Trump, and generally anti conservative, seen from the UK and Germany. If you over there elect Hillary – God help us all! And it’s possible. Given that the US re-elected Obama once, the Germans in a fairly desperate situation voted for that loony Austrian (even though he didn’t get the majority), recent voting for Cameroun, Hollande. Oh dear, back to the past, were the French voted for a great comedian (“France has liberated itself!” The Americans, Russians and the British Empire were apparently mere bystanders – yes, I am talking about the prime architect for ‘Eurabia’) and here in Britain? We voted Churchill out and the labour party in! Sorry if I spoilt your evening, I just spoilt mine too….
BTW, whilst going bonkers a wild thought occurred: Could your Hillary and our Angela be somehow related? Yeah, I know it’s Dr. Strangelove calling…
Also, I left a reply to your post about the poet and your informative link in reference to Hamtramck, you may find that interesting, if you missed it that is. Essentially, the Muslims started with only one minor town in Arabia: Yathrib/Medina. Didn’t take too long for the rest.

“Notwithstanding disputes over his place of birth, from here in the UK, it looked as though electing Obama, as an American of color, was a great step forwards.”
Why? And “a great step forward” into what, exactly? What does it matter what color skin a person has? For the life of me, I will never understand this attitude!
Before the fools in this country elected him, it was made known that this man spent 20 years in a racist, America-hating, blasphemous “church”, and that he voted to allow aborted babies die without medical care, if they happened to survive the original murder attempt. He voted that way TWICE.His political career should’ve ended right there, before it even began.
All of this was known before the election. Why would anyone think electing such an evil man would be a great step forward?

That’s the problem Mo, the electorate doesn’t think. It wishes, desires and hopes. But thinking?

Hillary reaches out to front group for the Islamic Republic of Iran for donations
……………………………
Insanity–Iran has made its aims to destroy America, Israel, and the rest of the West obvious many times.
The fact that supposedly “middle of the road” Hillary may actually be a bigger danger to us than far Leftist *Socialist* Bernie Sanders shows just how insane things are.
More:
Ploughshares partners with NIAC and with the White House to pressure the Jewish community and others to back the Iran nuclear deal.
……………………………
“Ploughshares”! These Muslim Taqiyya artists have no shame.
The reference, of course, comes from the Bible–Isaiah 2:4:
“And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”
That those screaming “Death to America!” and “Death to Israel!” are using this as a front could not be more perverse.
Add to that that Muslims believe the Bible was “corrupted” by Christians, and this is even more sickening.
But if Iran believes they can use this to lull the hopeful Kuffar into a false sense of security–as they clearly do–then it will have done its damage.

Young People Stunned by Answer to ‘Candidates’ Cribs’ Game
“I did not know Hillary had that much money at all.”
https://youtu.be/3L5hn5B8TYI
us Reform correspondent Cabot Phillips engaged random young passersby in front of the White House in a guessing game of “Candidates’ Cribs.” After trying to guess which Presidential candidate – Marco Rubio, Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Martin O’Malley, or Hillary Clinton – has lived in each of four insanely expensive mansions, the participants were shocked to find out that Hillary was the inhabitant of all four.
“I did not know Hillary had that much money at all,” said one stunned young man. “AT ALL.”
This video actually dates back to June, but as we round the bend into the new year and the final stretch of the 2016 election, it’s an amusing reminder that the Democrats’ insistence that they are the party of the people, and that Hillary is a relatable Presidential candidate, is a complete lie.
Hillary OWNS ALL OF THEM!

BC says
Whatever HC may say on the campaign and she talks the talk if they elect her they will get more of Obama style policies
Oppressaphobe says
I have some sympathies for Hillary, in as much as I think she just got caught, but probably all the other leaders have done the SAME THING AS SHE HAS.
And it galls me that Obama gets NO HEAT for any of this email scandal. How does that work? He is her boss? I will never buy the argument that Obama is innocent and I believe that Obama SET HER UP TO FALL.
Hillary knows too much about Obama. He uses her as a tool, but he will dispose of her when he is done.
My main point is that if we are mad at Hillary, shouldn’t we be mad at all our leaders for probably the last 40 years? Who hasn’t taken this kind of money is what I want to know. But they think that they can pin this on a woman, because it is a new breed of politician, so they can say, “here’s why we shouldn’t elect a female” and then go back to politics as usual.
In other words, if they put the stress on Hillary, we don’t look at the bigger picture that ALL OUR LEADERS ARE TOTALLY CORRUPT.
Oppressaphobe says
Obama is probably being called a “transitional president” by these pro Iranian groups.
He has been transformational (as they like to say) but more than that he has been transitional, meaning that he has been a bridge to American acceptance of Islamic influence into our traditional Christian-based society.
That is why he shocked early on with his “We don’t consider ourselves a Christian nation” statement. That was completely intentional to create an atmosphere for what was to come.
I would guess if you looked at the things that are being said in this crowd you would find evidence for what I am saying about transitional. I think understanding this is important to putting all the pieces together.
Hillary is just one piece in this puzzle. I think her famous Islamic aide was a deliberate attempt at softening the boundary lines. that she married Weiner also helped (who knows what was up with that,if even true).
Oppressaphobe says
I should add that I believe that this was the whole point of Obama- to bridge that Islamic-American gap and I think that he was supported by undisclosed entities–probably even by election fraud. High people in high places.
Some of his support was grassroots though; I didn’t know you could buy a president with foodstamps, but the foodstamp crowd certainly helped.
Oppressaphobe says
BTW, the dems have officially started the big push for food stamps-special election year stamps that will disappear after the election.
We have to become wise to the tactics that are used over and over again.
WorkingClassPost says
Not sure if this was an isolated incident, but it seems that there was at least one occasion in Nevada when Hilary got a little help from her ‘Democratic’ allies too.

Oppressaphobe says
Dr. Divinity,
Here’s the problem, after yesterdays primary: many people cannot bring themselves to vote for Trump.
Seeing how the Billary Stompin Machine is running, I worry about a choice between her and Trump.
I don’t think I can vote for Trump, many feel the same way.
This is quite a pickle I hoped not to be in time. Disappointed that nobody else could catch fire. I would even settle for a Kasich/Bush teaming up just so they can win. Or a Cruz/Rubio or Cruz/Carson. I never could figure out why the top runners don’t team up. People have been asking for a Cruz/Carson ticket. I would even take a Trump/Cruz, but only if Trump would agree to step aside if he couldn’t handle the job.
That seems to the reality right now but maybe things could change. I’m a Cruz supporter and I laugh when people say nobody likes him. America has gotten off on this likeability tangent, some drummed up by Hannity and others who probably have an agenda. Then I have people tell me, “Don’t you know what Bob Dole said about Cruz?” Then I know their just crazy and I walk away.
Jay Boo says
If it comes down to Hillary or Donald the choice is easy.
Anyone but Hillary
Oppressaphobe says
Jay Boo,
You better stay on top of developments as it pertains to Trump. Robert Riech has a video trying to destroy Cruz and prefer Trump over Cruz. He’s honest about Trump and I see no reason to argue with what he says about Trump-there is no evidence to defend Trump.
You have to see it to understand.
Kathy Brown ,Esq. says
Robert Reich? THE Robert Reich?
Reich is a far-Left lunatic who said that old people ‘need to die’, so that Obamacare may live. OK? I saw your video; how ’bout you check this video: https://youtu.be/5tUS8wNXogQ ?
Oppressaphobe says
DISCLAIMER:
I am not a fan of Reich. If you watched the video you would see that he is trying to attack Ted Cruz and praise Trump as a relatively better option.
But in praising Trump he destroys Trump, in my mind, because I think the exact opposite of Robert Reich, as many do.
Watched the palin video–well aware of this.
