Iran may have received $33.6 BILLION in secret payments facilitated by Obama administration

Sep 9, 2016 2:54 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

It’s striking that Barack Obama, the Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. military, is doing backroom deals with Iran, which the U.S. State Department has listed as the top state sponsor of terrorism in the world. It is now reported that:

“Iran may have received an additional $33.6 billion in secret cash and gold payments facilitated by the Obama administration between 2014 and 2016, according to testimony provided before Congress by an expert on last summer’s nuclear agreement with Iran.”

A former Pentagon official and specialist on rogue regimes, Michael Rubin, stated that payments of this nature are “highly irregular” and they “bolstered the strength of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and augmented its ability to finance and conduct terrorism.”

This secret deal announcement also comes at a time of increasing provocation by Iran against American vessels in the Gulf. Seven Iranian Islamic Republican Guard Corps Navy attack craft charged at a U.S. coastal patrol ship. The patrol shift swerved to avoid a crash. Such harassment on the seas by Iran was not the first time:

“The incident is the latest in a series of interactions the Navy has called “dangerous and unprofessional” in a year that has seen more run-ins between U.S. and Iranian ships than in recent memory.”

America continues to be humiliated and beaten down by Islamic supremacist bullies under a highly questionable administration that is leading America into steep decline, while citizens appear to be collectively incapacitated by fears of charges of “Islamophobia” and a simple disbelief that any of this could really be happening.

“Iran May Have Received as Much as $33.6 Billion in Cash, Gold Payments From U.S.”, by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, September 8, 2016:

Iran may have received an additional $33.6 billion in secret cash and gold payments facilitated by the Obama administration between 2014 and 2016, according to testimony provided before Congress by an expert on last summer’s nuclear agreement with Iran.

Between January 2014 and July 2015, when the Obama administration was hammering out the final details of the nuclear accord, Iran was paid $700 million every month from funds that had previously been frozen by U.S. sanctions.

A total of $11.9 billion was ultimately paid to Iran, but the details surrounding these payments remain shrouded in mystery, according to Mark Dubowitz, executive director at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

In total, “Iran may have received as much as $33.6 billion in cash or in gold and other precious metals,” Dubowitz disclosed.

New questions about these payments are emerging following confirmation from top Obama administration officials on Thursday that it was forced to pay Iran $1.7 billion in cash prior to the release of several U.S. hostages earlier this year. The administration insisted that cash had to be used for this payment.

Top administration officials were adamant that the cash payments were the best way to ensure that Iran got immediate access to this money due to its ongoing difficulty accessing international funds still sanctioned by the West.

Lawmakers and others are now pressing the administration to disclose how a slew of other payments to Iran were made in the years leading up to the final nuclear accord……

Michael Rubin, a former Pentagon official and expert on rogue regimes, said that cash payments of this nature are “highly irregular.”

“There’s no reason it needed to be paid now. After all, successive administrations, both Democratic and Republican, have delayed payments so as to avoid funding Iranian terrorism,” Rubin said. “Likewise, if the United States freezes accounts linked to al Qaeda or Hamas, releasing it and saying, ‘It’s their money anyway,’ would not be a tenable explanation. Cash payments are highly irregular.”

The Iranians have been clear that they “perceived the payment to be a ransom” despite the administration’s protestations, Rubin explained.

“Not only has the delivery of the millions of dollars been perceived as a ransom, provided as an incentive to seize more hostages …. but because the money was delivered in cash the payment bolstered the strength of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and augmented its ability to finance and conduct terrorism,” he said.

“Official: 7 Iranian boats came after U.S. ship in the Persian Gulf”, by Meghann Myers, Navy Times, September 6, 2016:

A U.S. coastal patrol ship faced seven Iranian Republican Guard Corps Navy fast in-shore attack craft before swerving to avoid crashing into one on Sunday, according to a 5th Fleet spokesman.

The incident is the latest in a series of interactions the Navy has called “dangerous and unprofessional” in a year that has seen more run-ins between U.S. and Iranian ships than in recent memory. Iranian vessels harassed destroyers and PCs in four incidents in late August, resulting in warning shots in one case.

“The Iranians’ unsafe maneuvers near a United States ship operating in accordance with international law while transiting in international waters created a dangerous, harassing situation that could have led to further escalation including additional defensive measures by Firebolt.”

The IRGCN vessels, a type of large speed boat armed with rockets or other unguided weapons, approached Firebolt in the middle of the Persian Gulf on Sunday. Three peeled off and shadowed the PC from about 500 yards away for about eight minutes before turning and leaving the area, Cmdr. Bill Urban told Navy Times on Tuesday.

One of the remaining four FIACs in the area then turned and stopped directly in Firebolt’s path.

“This situation presented a drastically increased risk of collision, and Firebolt then maneuvered to narrowly avoid the FIAC at a range of 100 yards before departing the area.”

Firebolt tried to get the boats on the radio three times but there was no response. The crew-served weapons on deck were uncovered and manned but untrained according to accounts, he added.

Though the situation did not escalate, it’s the kind that the Navy would have reported to the State Department with a request for a message of protest, if the U.S. and Iran had an official diplomatic relationship.

And the incident came just 11 days after the Navy’s last unsafe run-in with the Iranians, when the coastal patrol ship Squall fired three warning shots at another small craft……

    This seems to be no end or limit to the folly and foolishness of Obama to support in any way the cruel and oppressive Islamic tyranny which oppresses Iranian people in many vicious and malicious and murderous ways . Likes this tyrannical Islamic regime will use much of the fund Obama sent to Islamic terror entities as Hezbollah , Hamas and even the Taliban. Furthermore, what is called the “Iranian Revolution” turned out to be a hoax. Ayatollah Khomeini before achieving power in Iran in his lying and deceptions presented himself to the Iranian people as if he was someone who would be in power would give freedom to the people of Iran with any tyranny. The reality turned out to be just the opposite. As explained by a former Muslim as well as a man who took part in this Islamic “revolution “ ,who is now a Christian informs the reader of his book that “Prior to the Revolution no one ever imagined that other political parties would be suppressed under the rule of Ayatollah Khomeini. He had promised that all groups would have freedom to run their own campaigns after the Revolution. He even stated that governing system would be based on the decision of the people via a referendum. He never spoke of a system that would be governed by Islam. He even made clear that mullahs would not take part in any political activities, and that they would only be allowed to teach spirituality… Immediately after the Revolution, mullahs rushed into government offices to occupy the most important political l positions, making it difficult for the interim secular government to function … The mullah’s occupation of position was exactly the opposite to what the Ayatollah Khomeini had promised before the Revolution.”. [1] In other words, the insincere, disingenuous and outright lying Ayatollah Khomeini made many bogus promise he really had no intention of keeping. His lying deception worked, for he achieved great power in Iran. Furthermore, of the many heinously evils outcome s of that Islamic “revolution” is the extremely cruel, brutal and demonic misogyny of this hideous Islamic regime. Not only against women but even young girls. As explained by a former Iranian Revolutionary Guard member who defected to the West and now lives in America his book also informs the reader about the malicious and murderous affront girls in Iran’s Evin prison which reads that those in power ,the “paraded teenage girls in front in front of me as they led them to their deaths. These girls were barely out of their childhood, barely old enough to think of themselves, much less form thoughts against the state. They knew nothing about the machinations of politics. They were innocent in every sense of the word and certainty innocent of trumped –up charges that led to their imprisonment. Yet they suffered fates too brutal for even the most vicious criminal. ..Their few remaining moments of life had been filled with the level of abuse that few can imagine…The author further states “They tortured and killed young girls, in God’s name and before their execution they raped them because they believed that if a girl dies virgin, she will go to heaven, and they wanted to deny them this reward.” [2] This is as malice -filled and viciously wicked as can possibly be. This, very much, reflects the Wisdom found in the Bible which in Proverbs 15:15. For it reads “All the days of the oppressed are wretched. “ and likewise Proverbs 29:2. Which teaches “When the wicked rule, the people groan. “ [N.I.V.]

      Jesus, dear lord this has gone on for too long and appears there is no end in sight. Now the grimy sleaze balls record these acts described above and send the dvd back with the child’s body parts. Cutting out the heart of a living child and worse
      Many Union soldiers never met a ‘negro’ but still fought for right mindedness. I’m ready and willing as are many in the world to put an end to these atrocities. Appeasement causes this and the leftist deluded thought process of “but they want just want a fight” has us in limbo regarding our entrance and current quagmire in the middle east.

        America needs to bite the bullet,with her allies ,and tell Iran in no uncertain terms that Iranian vessels will be sunk if this sort of action against US ships recurs. America and her allies should have occupied Iraq and Afghanistan and stayed there and governed it directly for as long as it took to eliminate the Islamic idea of jihad and supremacy. It was done in Japan and should have been done in the Muddle East.

    Not to get too much off the point of the topic of the current foolishness and folly of Obama with Iran in the year 2016 Nevertheless, it still should not be forgotten about Iran and that vicious and murderous jihad bombing on December 21,1988 of that Pam Am flight 103, Lockerbie bombing disaster. Iran might have had a part in that murderous affront. With those malicious and spite-filled mullahs and other tyrants in power in Iran with their malice-filled Islamic hate for Americans and America. Those malice-filled mullahs and ayatollahs as well as other sinister and insidious fiends in control of Iran with their destructive intentions. This information has been given by a former Revolutionary Guard member, Reza Kahlili, for Iran who defected to the United States. This information about Iran’s possible involvement in that Pam Am bombing is from his book, which is entitled A TIME TO BETRAY pages 291,292, 294, 296.

    Iran certainly wants Isreal and us dead. Hussein is happy to oblige with cash payments and submission. Iran will continue to press us and test our naval response tactics until we make a mistake, either deadly for us or them they won’t care as long as they have an excuse to use against the new CAC for continued hostility.

    Unfortunate that Putin and Iran are playing in the sand box together while Putin says Americans hostilities against Russia are evident in Czech with our new missile program (his view). Better hope we get Trump to put a foot down and show some stability without going to war.

    It is a sad observation that after every, “war to end all wars”, there is a cry of “never again” followed by ignoring the rise of evil as the human life price of confronting that evil steadily increases. There will eventually be war with Iran and North Korea when the potential cost in life and treasure has maximized. It will be maximum because the evil “leadership” was allowed to grow and be emboldened by the West’s and particularly, the US, inaction.

    The US leadership is now so greedy and comfort-oriented that it threatens to shoot down Israeli war planes if that nation decides it must act for self preservation. Anything to keep investors happy while allowing the rising human cost to fall on the next generation. They will kick the can down the road until we all arrive at annother ambushed.

      Westman,

      I agree, Evil is on the rise around the globe.

      There is a spiritual blindness that is encompassing the world and the so called World Leaders, it’s the “blind leading the blind” into the Abyss, that place of no return.

      Batten down the hatches, as unfortunately, we are only witnessing the tip of the Iceberg, the worst is yet to come.

      Think in terms of being a passenger on the Titanic, for the most part they were oblivious of the danger just ahead, while the crew had numerous warnings which they chose to ignore.

      It appears that the “Winds of War” are stirring as people all around the World are sensing something ominous is about to happen, maybe WWIII.

      In terms of Iran, previously Persia, if they weren’t the people group who created the game of Chess, then they are certainly the people who perfected the game.

      With that said, either Obama or his ilk are in collusion with Iran or they are truly “useful idiots” as the Iranian regime appears to be laughing all the way to the bank as they continue to use and abuse our so-called Leaders.

      “Posterity! You will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make a good use of it.”

    The difference between Iran and Saudi Arabia is the Persians don’t even fake it. They also directly give at least ten times more $ to the Global Jihad. Another distinction is that Iran has publicly called for nuking America to wipe us off the map. So it made sense to unfreeze hundreds of billions of dollars and undo the hard built sanctions, and to green light them on nukes + ICBM. Looking at the three who crafted the Iran deal, I see the genius of Columbia, Yale and Harvard. Too bad I’m not as smart as these guys are. And one of them is slated to be our next president.

    At the time negotiations over the “Nuclear deal” began with Iran, the price of oil had collapsed, and the Iranian currency was headed for hyperinflation. The populace was on the verge of revolt. I remember following the situation in the news and cheering every time the value of the rial fell a little further. There were stories of merchants having to close up shop, and nobody willing to accept the rial anymore. People wanted US dollars. I felt we were only months away from a revolution in Iran.

    (btw: As an aside, Russia was also suffering from the oil price crash, and their currency too was sinking like a stone. I was also unashamedly cheering on their demise as well.)

    While I was gloating over Iran’s travails, unbeknownst to any of us, Obama had already begun negotiations with the Iranian in secret, as we learned much later on. Now cash for peace could be an innovative answer to the nuclear thing. After all, how much does a war cost? …aside from all the death and destruction? Maybe if we could eliminate their nuclear program, it could be well worth it, on the theory that ten years down the road there could well be a popular revolt against the regime and the question then mute.

    Only one flaw in this logic… If you give Iran enough money, even if they verifiably shut down their nuclear program, they can simply buy nuclear weapons on the black market. And of course, giving them “enough money” ends the hope of some kind of internal insurrection from the cash-starved people of Iran facing a currency crises. As well as financing their terror campaigns and partners, an all around bad idea.

    Now, we had their backs to the wall. Sanctions were biting hard. We should have been able to pull off a deal that would leave Iran’s centrifuges in a pile of verifiable rubble at least, and their nuclear weapons labs turned into gardening supply shops or some such thing. But the deal Obama ended up with was the worst outcome imaginable! Not only do Iran now have all that money, but they also have been able to keep the core of their nuclear program intact to rev up to full speed whenever the spirit wills them.

    I think Obama showed very bad judgement on this. Perhaps that unjustified Nobel prize he got earlier went to his head. Perhaps he had this vision of himself as a leader of great stature, who could solve a knotty problem with innovative, out of the box thinking. In the end though, all he got for his money was a bag of beans.

      Another problem that Obama “overlooked” was that Islam will honour a treaty with the infidel for a maximum of 10 years and they reserve the right to break such a treaty at anytime that seems advantageous to the Umma. Obama and his cronies are probably the most despicable people ever to have soiled the Whitehouse with their oily presence. And somehow the American people handed him the keys to US destruction twice!! To make matters worse the people are probably going to hand the female equivalent of Obama,Clinton, 5 years of almost unfettered power ; Clinton will care as little for protocol as Obama does. Have you all gone mad over there? I thought the modern English were pretty stupid but I think the people in America have excelled themselves in gormlessness over the last ,near,decade.

        The current lack of real US leadership is all about money and stature. Our best leadership won’t either expose their families to the hounding of the press or stop embracing their wealth long enough to serve. Instead, we get social engineers or hollow palm-pressers suffering from ergophobia.

        There are even some “refusers to serve” who have been infected with the disease of “globalization” and it has rendered their minds incapable of appreciating the rights granted them by that archaic institution, the nation. Even worse it has caused intense chrometophobia, so strongly that trillions of dollars have been left outside the US, rather than bringing it home and sharing some with the “archaic” nation. Maybe the “globalists” are also the nation’s enemies, in the tradition of Judas?

    The Iranian maneuver accomplished exactly what it intended and at no cost to anyone but us!
    As for “dangerous”, all military maneuvers are dangerous(even training maneuvers) , given “the enemy always has his say” (so do accidents!)
    In this case, however, Obango pretty much already indicated that he wasn’t going to “say” anything so, the Iranian maneuver wasn’t really even all that dangerous, not with a 100 yards clearance.

      Maybe not on this forum but evidently still a majority (thought a smaller one now) of Americans.

    If you have any integrity you do not give back $33 billion to a country that continues to chant “Death to America”, is on the verge of possessing nuclear weapons and is currently challenging the US Navy on a daily basis.

    You are removing this sanction because why?

    If those coming to Europe and U.S.A. from disfunctional arab countries trained themselves to go back to work in order to make their countries better developing them or to become soldiers in order to go back and fight against the terrorists, I would think that they were serious coming to U.SA. and Europe and the western world.
    As it is now there is no doubt they are not serious and will neither fight or change there own countries peacefully nor fight against the evil fighting against there countriesTherefore they should not be allowed to stay.

    • Richard Paulsen says

      Correction: Those coming to U.S.A., Europe and to all the West from disfunctional less developed countries, should be trained and train themselves to become soldiers and experts in order to go back to their countries to fight and to work to make them develope.
      Otherwise they are not serious and should not be allowed to come. Islam does not belong to the West and is not democratic.

    “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” These are words spoken by Obama to the United Nations General Assembly on 25 September 2012
    Obama is neither foolish nor naïve. He has an agenda. He knows what he is doing. He wants to destroy America and the western culture in favor of replacing it with Islam. At every opportunity he attacks Christianity and elevates Islam. Look at how long it took him to admit that ISIS had committed genocide of the Christians and the Yazidi people; and finally when Kerry delivered his pathetic speech about this, he threw in the Shiites and the Sunnis into the mix. Well, the Shiites are alive and kicking, so are the Sunnis. And America has taken in but a few Christian refugees while bringing in hundreds of thousands of Muslims. That Obama has given money to Iran doesn’t surprise me in the least. Again, he has an agenda. He knows very well where that money goes. It won’t go to people. It will go to military hardware as well as terrorist groups like Hamas whose agenda is to bring about the destruction of both Israel and America. But that is what he wants. That he hates America and particularly the white culture is quite evident by his words and actions. He constantly fans the flame of hatred between the races. Let me tell you something. This man cannot forgive America’s past history of its treatment of blacks. He sees it every time he looks at his wife and daughters. He also views America’s status as a superpower as arrogant and he wants to knock the American eagle of its perch. And that is the reason why he hates Trump so vehemently. Trump is an American patriot. Trump stands for everything that he hates. And Trump, if he becomes president, will destroy all of Obama’s plan for America’s demise. But with Hillary he will get a third term to finish off what he started. He knows very well that Hillary is too sick and too mentally imbalanced to be president. That is the main reason that he said he was not going to leave Washington after his presidency. He has to be in Washington to do his destructive work. But why the Clintons are in it? The Clintons, both of them whores of Saudi Arabia, only care about power and money. There is also another factor here. They both look at the west as a dying star. Between the globalists with their New World Order dreams and the Islamists with their Sharia World Order dreams, the west is done for. I have said it before that we live in highly dangerous times. If Trump is not elected, America will be ruined. I have also said that if Trump is not elected, then the only way to stop the destruction of America is an uprising of the American people.

    Let me expand a little here. Before Khomeini, the Middle East was becoming westernized. Prior to Khomeini Iranian women were free and wore western clothes. Even in Afghanistan women did not wear hijab, let alone burka. But now women in the ME are in full hijab gear. But that is not by choice, unlike the west. Now if the west falls to Islam and accepts Islam, then the people in Islamic countries have absolutely no hope of freedom. The people in the Middle East look to the west as a beacon of hope. The west must set an example. The cowards and the traitors in the west who bow down to Islam and Muslims are not just bringing about the destruction of their own people and culture; they are also bringing about the destruction of freedom-loving people in the Middle East. What hope Iran has? What hope Afghanistan has? What hope Turkey has? And what hope the youth of Saudi Arabia, who have discovered that Islam is a whole lot of BS, have? None. An uprising against Islam is necessary in the west so that everyone else can free themselves from its clutches. Islam has to be publicly denounced as a false religion; Quran has to be publicly denounced as a vile and poorly written book; Mohammad has to be publicly reviled for a lying charlatan that he was. All these must be done to humiliate and to ultimately annihilate Islam and Islamists, so people can be free from this vile ideology everywhere. Muslims in Muslim countries do not want to be Muslims, but they cannot bring this about if the west falls under the sway of Islam.

      That’s exactly what should happen. What’s odd is everyone could SEE the nasty associates and fanatics Obama consorted with – but it was swept under the rug when too many were eager to see a black president.

      And he’s smooth – just like Hillary and Bill. Again it’s increasingly apparent that they sell out America to the highest bidder but it’s like people bury their head under a blanket and assure themselves “Just politics as usual – and at least they’re competent at it!” That’s a vile thing to do to a country built upon solid principles.

    How come always hated Western countries giving Arabstates and muslim countries money?
    When will Muslim countries give non muslims?
    Other than mosques and muslim believers.

    • Praeceptor Maximus says

      Muslims don’t give money to non-Muslims. It is the reverse. Muslims view non-Muslims as dhimmis and dhimmis must pay jizya.

      • Richard Paulsen says

        True.

        They give a little amidst fanfare especially when they’re a minority in a country – It’s good PR. I’m sure many are genuinely nice people but they melt away a little TOO discreetly under the blast of their fanatical leaders (they’re groupies after all and they love to hold hands in the dark).
        One local Canadian radio talk show hostess snobbily chastised a local man who had refused their kindly help (occasionally Imams phone to warmly praise her OBVIOUS virtuous example to the stupid, mean masses).

        The more I learn, the more I think the guy was SPOT ON.

    North Korea promised Bill Clinton.
    They said they would not to pursue NUKES.

    So we can accurately see clearly whose side Obama is on right? It sure isn’t being on the side of the US. Remember the government in power now is not the government that was when these funds were frozen-so that should make it null and void. A totalitarian theocracy is in place since 1979 not a secular government. The number one sponsor of terror in the world got money use on more terror and we don’t want it investigated? Bull feathers.

      What is Congress doing about O’s action?

  33. UNCLE VLADDI says

    Sep 10, 2016 at 3:46 pm

    America froze their accounts because they kidnapped US Embassy personnel in violation of international laws – for which they never apologized.

    Now King Obama has waved his mighty pen and declared “No apologies necessary, in fact, WE apologize to you, my muslim brothers, for taking your money away from you for all these years!”

    And Congress does nothing.

    Since when does the executive branch make laws at all, much less by decree?!

    And since when has Congress – a REPUBLICAN Congress – let it get away with that, EVER before?!

    obama needs to be tried for treason and hung – or executed in whatever manner Sharia law would recommend

    “Navy would have reported to the State Department with a request for a message of protest”

    The Obamidiot would have responded by firmly stating that I will threaten to hold my breath and stomp my tiny little feet while drawing a red line in the sand unless you slow down when you threaten us.

    Obama, possibly the most damaging and dangerous person who ever existed.
