Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Obama administration has given Iran $700 million each month since nuke deal signed, totaling over $10 billion

Jan 10, 2017 12:07 pm By Robert Spencer

“Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.”

There ought to be an investigation into whether Obama’s actions regarding Iran, where the mullahs have ordered the people to chant “Death to America!” in the mosques every Friday, constitute treason.

This money is going to pay for a great deal of jihad terror.

“Iran: U.S. Surrendered More Than $10 Billion in Gold, Cash, Assets,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, January 9, 2017:

The Obama administration has paid Iran more than $10 billion in gold, cash, and other assets since 2013, according to Iranian officials, who disclosed that the White House has been intentionally deflating the total amount paid to the Islamic Republic.

Senior Iranian officials late last week confirmed reports that the total amount of money paid to Iran over the past four years is in excess of $10 billion, a figure that runs counter to official estimates provided by the White House.

The latest disclosure by Iran, which comports with previous claims about the Obama administration obfuscating details about its cash transfers to Iran—including a $1.7 billion cash payment included in a ransom to free Americans—sheds further light on the White House’s back room dealings to bolster Iran’s economy and preserve the Iran nuclear agreement.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi confirmed last week a recent report in the Wall Street Journal detailing some $10 billion in cash and assets provided to Iran since 2013, when the administration was engaging in sensitive diplomacy with Tehran aimed at securing the nuclear deal.

Ghasemi disclosed that the $10 billion figure just scratches the surface of the total amount given to Iran by the United States over the past several years.

“I will not speak about the precise amount,” Ghasemi was quoted as saying in Persian language reports independently translated for the Washington Free Beacon.

The $10 billion figure is actually a “stingy” estimate, Ghasemi claimed, adding that a combination of cash, gold, and other assets was sent by Washington to Iran’s Central Bank and subsequently “spent.”

“This report is true but the value was higher,” Ghassemi was quoted as saying.

“After the Geneva conference and the resulting agreement, it was decided that $700 million dollars were to be dispensed per month” by the U.S., according to Ghassemi. “In addition to the cash funds which we received, we [also] received our deliveries in gold, bullion, and other things.”

Regional experts who spoke to the Free Beacon about these disclosures said that the $10 billion figure offered by the Obama administration should be viewed “as a conservative estimate for what Iran was paid to stay at the table and negotiate.”<...

    There will never be the sort of justice Obama deserves in this life if he sticks around DC the rest of his life.

    You are totally right there!
    Slowly the real facts and news is filtering through and us ‘ordinary people’ can clearly see what’s going on but its way to late now. Fact – he’s fkt up but still remains totally untouchable – pfft!

    Wondering what those “other things” were.

    The photo above looks like a still from one of those Publishers’ Clearing House adverts. Only missing the big 3 foot check, that would have been too revealing.

    “There ought to be an investigation into whether Obama’s actions regarding Iran, where the mullahs have ordered the people to chant “Death to America!” in the mosques every Friday, constitute treason.”

    This should be on the agenda RIGHT AFTER the first 100 days in Trump’s presidency. 100 landmark successfulness days that America has never seen the likes of from a President. On day 101 Obama should be arrested and detained in Gitmo as an enemy combatant, frankly, though unlikely. However, at the very least, such an investigation should be opened. He needs to be grilled under the hot lights like Sessions is being grilled as I write this. At the same time, as the investigation is opened on Obama, the Clinton investigation should kick into high gear.

    The foolish of both Obama and Kerry with their politics and polices of folly know no limits. As a case example, the topic of that Islamic tyranny that is in power in Iran.
    That Obama and Kerry to feel that they could have come to a worthwhile deal of good value with that tyrannical “mullah regime” of Iran by attempting to work out a compromise with those Muslim tyrants in power in Iran. The outcome of foolishly trying to work out a compromise resulted that the hoax and farce of a “deal.” A former US President, Franklin D. Roosevelt , had well-spoken when he said “There has never been – there never can be – successful compromise between good and evil.”

    Appoint a special prosecutor for Obama.
    Did he or did he not commit treason?

    Scary thing is so few Repiubes really stood up against it either?
    At least not forcefully.

    Many newspaper journalists, their editors, and their publishers have carried water for Obama’s perversity. Most of them are well informed, so it stands to reason that their connivance has been with knowledge of the treachery.

    U can say Obama is the architect of the nuke war in ME. He had financed the Iranians to build the “bomb”, When Iran threaten Israel with it, well your guess is as good as mine, as to who will fire the first nukes.

    what obama handed over to iran are part of iranian assets illegally frozen by the united states.it is part of nuclear agreement.the united states did the same thing when it released the iranian assets stolen and stashed by shah in exchange for the release of american hostages.it is evident that the backbone of the united state’s economic growth are the stolen assets from puphet govts.iran is now free.you can longer usurp her assets meant for building her economy to build your own.such policy has to stop.mad devil said he is thinking of recolonising black african nations to take control of their resources directly.do you think is possible at this age?the united states invaded iraq with intention of taking control of iraqi resources.they could not get that.they have to withdraw after incuring heavy losses of trillions of dollars ?can the united states afford to commit similar foolishness again?

      Yes, Iran is now free to not only subjugate and terrorize their own population, but to export further terror in their evil quest to usher in Mehdi the imaginary shit head. Hussein Obama is a terrorist and traitor to the Righteous West, and should be treated as such. By the way Abraham, why are 99% of your cult’s members named mohammad? A prophet for profit with no prophecy.

      Muslim supremacist ibrahim itace muhammed wrote:

      what (sic) obama (sic) handed over to iran (sic) are part of iranian (sic) assets illegally frozen by the united (sic) states.it (sic) is part of nuclear agreement.the (sic) united (sic) states (sic) did the same thing when it released the iranian (sic) assets stolen and stashed by shah (sic) in exchange for the release of american (sic) hostages.
      …………………………..

      Of course, none of this ever belonged to the usurping Mullahs, as muhammed falsely asserts.

      And note what he is claiming: that it is legitimate for Muslim thugs to take diplomatic staff as hostages–something no civilized country has ever done–something even most tyrannies would stick at.

      More:

      it (sic) is evident that the backbone of the united (sic) state’s (sic) economic growth are the stolen assets from puphet (sic) govts.iran (sic) is now free.you (sic) can (sic) longer usurp her assets meant for building her economy to build your own.such (sic) policy has to stop.
      …………………………..

      Well, that’s just ludicrous. While genocidal Iran can do a great deal of harm with this money, the idea that such a paltry sum makes much of a difference to the wealthy United States is absurd.

      And the the wealth of the US and the rest of the West is based on productivity, innovation, and free trade. muhammed has made other ridiculous claims before, including the idea that if Muslims on the dole decamp for Dar-al-Islam that this will bankrupt us. Really, muhammed’s grasp of basic economics is extremely poor.

      More;

      mad (sic) devil said he is thinking of recolonising (sic) black african (sic) nations to take control of their resources directly.do (sic) you think is possible at this age?
      …………………………..

      This is a reference to Donald Trump, whom muhammed regularly calls ‘mad devil”. Of course, Trump has never said any such thing. Also, what does he mean by “recolonise”? The US never colonized Africa. Why is muhammed so profoundly ignorant?

      By the way, muhammed has always coupled this with the claim that Donald Trump plans to reinstitute slavery. Did muhammed omit this because even he has come to realize that no one is going to buy this obvious claptrap, or is it–just like his forgetting to mention Trump–just an indication of increasing sloppiness on his part?

      More:

      the (sic) united (sic) states (sic) invaded iraq (sic) with intention of taking control of iraqi (sic) resources.they (sic) could not get that.they (sic) have to withdraw after incuring (sic) heavy losses of trillions of dollars ?can (sic) the united (sic) states (sic) afford to commit similar foolishness again?
      …………………………..

      Well, that’s just ridiculous. The US never had any intention of taking Iraqi resources. What does that backward place have besides oil, in any case? Our only mistake was trying give Muslims there the chance of creating a democratic state–or course, this was not going to work with barbaric Mohammedans.

    Apparently, all you have to do is get elected president and then you’re ALLOWED to COMMIT NON-STOP TREASON against the nation you’ve been elected to Serve and Protect.

    Something is terribly wrong with a nation that allows this.

    BTW, the TRAITOR is Demanding a Higher Pension.

    Does Obama think that paying jizya to Iran will keep us protected from the Shiites?

    What a good little dhimmi he is.
