The timing of the announcement was fitting. The Biden regime handing over six billion dollars to a rogue Islamic regime that will certainly use it to aid jihad groups internationally, and choosing Sept. 11 as the date of the announcement, was emblematic of the regime’s willful ignorance and capitulation to jihad forces.
Also, this will just encourage the mullahs to take more hostages.
“Biden admin strikes deal with Iran to swap prisoners, release $6 billion in frozen funds,” by Bradford Betz, Fox News, September 11, 2023:
The Biden administration has struck a deal with Iran to swap prisoners and release $6 billion in frozen Iranian funds.
Per the deal, Iran will release five American citizens detained in Iran and the U.S. release five Iranian citizens being held in the U.S.
The deal creates a blanket waiver to transfer $6 billion in frozen Iranian money from South Korea to Qatar without fear of violating U.S. sanctions. No money is going directly to Iran and no U.S. taxpayer funds are being used.
The United States classifies Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken signed off on the deal late last week, but Congress was not notified of the decision until Monday, the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, according to the notification, which was obtained by The Associated Press….

Over the weekend, on Andrew Wilkow, I heard him theorize that the people who’re really running this government are ex-alumini of the Center for American Progress, namely John Podesta and Neera Tandon, in concert w/ Barack Obama. Once one factors that in, it explains all the anti-US policies of this administration
Westman says
$6 billion must not be much, that amount was found as an “accounting error” and promptly sent to Ukraine to continue eliminating the future families of Ukraine and Russia as Lindsey Graham and Mitt Romney’s, “best money we’ve ever spent”.
There are about 150 million taxpayers in the US which means $6×10⁹/150×10⁶ = $40/Taxpayer
Every time the US spends 100 Billion, it’s $666 per taxpayer. Interesting number.
Iran has 89 Million population so Biden is giving $67.42 for every Iranian citizen as he gives $1,200,000,000 for each of the 5 hostages.
This will make Somali Pirates green with envy. They and the Iranians will be incentivised.
Westman says
It now appears that Iran is expected (required) to spend the money on humanitarian purposes. Iran’s President Raisi says he’ll determine what the Iranian humanitarian needs might be, effectively, “wherever we need it”. A little terrorist or mercenary employment, maybe?
Keith O says
Idiots. NEVER negotiate with terrorists and kidnappers.
The only communication required is a simple promise that if the hostages are not released unharmed immediately, the hostage takers will be hunted down and destroyed.
Wellington says
Agreed. And the Idiot-in-Chief is Joe Biden but his bogus Presidency is only pro forma. Many other traitors (yes, traitors) are out there, among them Barack Obama.
Until Americans en masse realize that people like Barack Obama and Anthony Fauci, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, AOC, Christopher Wray, Merrick Garland, Alejandro Mayorkas and not a small amount of RINOs, et al. have been in the process of methodically destroying the American democratic republic, then America will continue to decline even to the eventual point of being eclipsed. It’s happening now and there is no longer any excuse for not knowing this.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
Just wondering, has the United States government ever had this many traitors?
Westman says
Yup, never negotiate with the supporters, funders, and directors of terrorism.
