OBAMA/BIDEN DHS SCRUBS RECORDS OF HUNDREDS OF MUSLIM TERRORISTS!
Not only did the Obama/Biden administration scrub counter-terror programs of jihad and Islam, now we find out that his administration scrubbed the records of Muslim terrorists. If the enemedia were not aligned with the jihad force, this would be front-page news across the nation.
An agent of the Department of Homeland Security, or DHS, for 15 years, Philip Haney, reported Friday that after the Christmas Day underwear bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, tried to blow up a crowded passenger jet over Detroit, “President Obama threw the intelligence community under the bus for its failure to ‘connect the dots.’ He said, ‘This was not a failure to collect intelligence; it was a failure to integrate and understand the intelligence that we already had.”
Haney revealed: “Most Americans were unaware of the enormous damage to morale at the Department of Homeland Security, where I worked, his condemnation caused. His words infuriated many of us because we knew his administration had been engaged in a bureaucratic effort to destroy the raw material – the actual intelligence we had collected for years, and erase those dots. The dots constitute the intelligence needed to keep Americans safe, and the Obama administration was ordering they be wiped away.”
LET’S CHECK THE LIST OF WHITE HOUSE VISITORS DURING OBAMA AND BIDEN’S FIRST TERM!
A year-long investigation by the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) has found that scores of known radical Islamists made hundreds of visits to the Obama White House, meeting with top administration officials.
Court documents and other records have identified many of these visitors as belonging to groups serving as fronts for the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas and other Islamic militant organizations.
The IPT made the discovery combing through millions of White House visitor log entries. IPT compared the visitors’ names with lists of known radical Islamists. Among the visitors were officials representing groups which have:
Been designated by the Department of Justice as unindicted co-conspirators in terrorist trials; Extolled Islamic terrorist groups including Hamas and Hizballah;
Obstructed terrorist investigations by instructing their followers not to cooperate with law enforcement;
Promoted the incendiary conspiratorial allegation that the United States is engaged in a “war against Islam”— a leading tool in recruiting Muslims to carry out acts of terror;
Repeatedly claimed that many of the Islamic terrorists convicted since 9-11 were framed by the U.S government as part of an anti-Muslim profiling campaign.
Individuals from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) visited the White House at least 20 times starting in 2009. In 2008, CAIR was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorist money laundering case in U.S. history – the trial of the Holy Land Foundation in which five HLF officials were convicted of funneling money to Hamas.
U.S. District Court Judge Jorge Solis later ruled that, “The Government has produced ample evidence to establish the association” of CAIR to Hamas, upholding their designations as unindicted co-conspirators. In 2008, the FBI formally ended all contact with CAIR because of its ties to Hamas.
In January 2004, Hussam Ayloush, executive director of CAIR’s Los Angeles office, publicly defended Palestinian terror attacks in comments before Muslim students at the University of California – Los Angeles, saying that terrorists were exercising their “legitimate right” to defend themselves against Israeli occupation.
Ayloush, who was a delegate to the 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., casts the United States as controlled by Israeli interests. At a 2008 CAIR banquet in San Diego, he imagined “an America that respects and humanizes religion. It’s an America that is free to act on its values and not on the interests of any foreign lobby.” In 2004, he said that the war on terror had become a “war on Muslims.” Ayloush attended at least two White House meetings.
The logs show Ayloush met with Paul Monteiro, associate director of the White House Office of Public Engagement on July 8, 2011 and Amanda Brown, assistant to the White House director of political affairs Patrick Gaspard, on June 6, 2009.
According to reliable sources, Monteiro was White House liaison for secret contacts with CAIR, especially with Ayloush. IPT has learned that the White House logs curiously have omitted Ayloush’s three meetings with two other senior White House officials.
Louay Safi, formerly executive director of the Islamic Society of North America, visited the White House twice – meeting in intimate settings with Paul Monteiro on June 29, 2011 and July 8, 2011.
Law enforcement first noticed Safi in 1995 when his voice was captured in an FBI wiretap of now-convicted Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Sami Al-Arian. At the time of his conversation with Al-Arian, Safi served as executive director of the International Institute of Islamic Thought, an organization listed in law-enforcement and in internal Muslim Brotherhood documents as one of the movement’s top front groups in North America.
Safi also wrote for the Middle East Affairs Journal, produced by the United Association for Studies and Research (UASR). That group was established by Hamas deputy political leader Mousa Abu Marzook and part of the Hamas-support network called the “Palestine Committee.”
Safi has repeatedly expressed understanding for the underlying causes that provoke terrorism: “Terrorism cannot be fought by…ignoring its root causes. The first step…is to examine the conditions that give rise to the anger, frustration, and desperation that fuel all terrorist acts.” He also called Palestinian terrorists “freedom” fighters.
Esam Omeish, former head of the Muslim Brotherhood-created Muslim American Society, visited the White House three times.
In 2000, Omeish personally hired the late terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki to be the imam of Falls Church, VA, Dar al-Hijrah mosque. According to IPT analysis, more terrorists have been linked to Dar al-Hijrah since 9/11 than to any other mosque in America.
Omeish publicly mourned the Israeli airstrike that killed Hamas founder Sheikh Ahmed Yassin at an April 10, 2004, MAS conference.
Schumer shows who’s really leading the ‘Radical Left’s Socialist Agenda!
Let’s not forget Chuck-e Schumer when lived up to his reputation again, but this time it’s abandoning his New York City Jewish base when he hid for weeks when Ilhan Omar suggested GOP support for Israel is driven by campaign donations from a prominent pro-Israel group.
If you recall Omar singled out AIPAC, one of the most influential lobbying groups in Washington, as the source of those donations.
Schumer has always sided with everything and anything Israel since the beginning of time, but now a freshman Muslim Congresswoman has exposed his anti-Semitism cowardliness! By Schumer not having Ilhan Omar removed from the House’s Foreign Relations Committee just proves that both Schumer and Pelosi are at the mercy of America’s first generation to come out of our finely tuned educational system that used ‘Common Core’s repetitive brainwashing and testing so that our eventual leaders of America’s future will know exactly what they are supposed to know based the Progressive ‘Left’s’ interpretation and intent of our founder’s inherently conservative Constitutional values!
OBAMA’S ISRAEL AND MIDDLE EAST FLASHBACKS:

72 DHS Employees on Terrorist Watch List!
At least 72 employees at the Department of Homeland Security are listed on the U.S. terrorist watch list, per a Democratic lawmaker.
Rep. Stephen Lynch (D., Mass.) disclosed that a congressional investigation recently found that at least 72 people working at DHS also “were on the terrorist watch list.”

STATE REPORTS STATE DEPARTMENT FUNDED OVERTHROW!
Senate Report: State Department Funded Effort to Overthrow Netanyahu!
This comes as a shock to no one who’s witnessed the animus President Obama holds for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
A new report by the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI) confirms the U.S. State Department did indeed fund an Israeli political organization that ran a campaign to oust Netanyahu. The subcommittee, chaired by Republican Rob Portman, found that the liberal organization dubbed OneVoice received more than $300,000 in grant funds to support so-called “peace negotiations” between Israelis and Palestinians. The funds were used to establish the infrastructure needed to facilitate those goals — that infrastructure was then repurposed to topple the Israeli Prime Minister.
The Weekly Standard parsed key findings of the report:
On December 2, 2014, at the urging of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Knesset voted to schedule new national parliamentary elections for March 2015. Within weeks, an international organization known as the OneVoice Movement absorbed and funded an Israeli group named Victory15 or “V15” and launched a multimillion-dollar grassroots campaign in Israel.
The campaign’s goal was to elect “anybody but Bibi [Netanyahu]” by mobilizing center-left voters.1 The Israeli and Palestinian arms of OneVoice, OneVoice Israel (OVI), and OneVoice Palestine (OVP), received more than $300,000 in grants from the U.S. State Department to support peace negotiations between Israel and Palestine over a 14- month grant period ending in November 2014.
The grants funded expanded “social media presence, built a larger voter database, and hired an American political consulting firm to train its activists and executives in grassroots organizing methods in support of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
“Once the infrastructure was built, it was used to topple the government of one of America’s closest allies.
Luckily, the administration was unsuccessful in this attempt to undermine Israel and the one leader who has been capable of keeping the Jewish State relatively safe (a nearly impossible feat as it is given these savages operate from within civilian areas) against terrorism.
This one article that I wrote back when with the help of some friends of America will refresh your memory on the Obama/Biden Administration’s feeling toward Israel and the Middle East on the following topics!
‘THE ARAB SPRING,’ OBAMA’S ALLIANCE WITH THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IS WELL-KNOWN AND THOROUGHLY DOCUMENTED, THE ‘PHONY’ ARAB SPRING, MUBARAK STEPS DOWN, MORSI OUSTED, LIBYA/ARAB SPRING REDUX, BENGHAZI AND WHITE HOUSE GUN-RUNNING OPERATIONS EXPOSED, HOW ISIS CAME TO BE, DID ISIS FIND $420 MILLION IN LOST US MILITARY SUPPLIES IN AFGHANISTAN, MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD WRITES TO OBAMA TO DENOUNCE THE STRIKES ON ISIS, WHY DID OBAMA SAY ISIL WHEN EVERYONE ELSE SAYS ISIS, OBAMA HOLDS MEETING ON TERRORISM ON 2/19 AND DOES NOT INVITE HEAD OF FBI BUT DOES INVITE HIS FBI RUSSIAN COUNTERPART, EGYPTIAN LAWSUITS AGAINST OBAMA FOR MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD MEDDLING, AND DID HILLARY AND OBAMA SHIELD ISIS?
December 14, 2016
WHEN IT CAME TO ISRAEL OBAMA AND HILLARY DID LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES, AND SHOULDN’T HAVE THROWN STONES!~~
The only purpose the United Nations serves is to give meaningless rhetoric an outlet for second and third tier international want-to- be dreamers of power a forum to stroke their alter egos, and Obama is no exception, and without a doubt, the cream of the crop! The United Nations had its place in time, but that time has come to an end, and so should the $8+ Billion dollars it cost the American taxpayer every year!
Obama has had nothing to say to members of the Congress, but choses instead to hide behind those closed doors spinning his web of deception and divisiveness to change the face of America! I have to believe that his constituents, except for the ones closest to him, had no clue that his definition of change had nothing to do with what they and the American people perceived it to be, but after winning a second term victory got a real sobering shot of the clandestine Socialist agenda’s truth!
Obama didn’t take the time to sit down with the opposition on Capitol Hill for meaningful collaboration and bipartisan resolution to the problems facing America, but chose to lead by ‘Pen and Phone,’ interpretation and intent, and undermining the ‘Will’ of the American people! Obama orchestrated the unrest in the Middle East, help launch ISIS through the help of Hillary and her gun running failures that armed the eventually created the biggest threat to any chance of peace in that region , and scripted the plot to give Congress that ‘Do nothing Congress’ makeover that was initiated by Harry Reid and his optional decision to table, and not present some 360+ passed house bills to the Senate to be passed and given to President Obama to sign and make law.
Obama’s battle cry from the beginning has been ‘My way, or the High way,’ and he’s proved that by quickly establishing in his first term, through Executive Order, ‘Peace Time’ Martial law, firing or forcing into retirement close to 300 military personnel with 187 being high ranking officers and generals because they couldn’t be trusted to carry out Obama’s unconstitutional and anti-American agenda and policies around the world, and then opening our borders so that 13+ million unvetted illegal immigrants and refugees could be supported by the taxpayer to the tune of $1 Trillion Dollars a year, and then encouraged to vote with no criminal consequences for their illegal actions!
Cry baby Obama can’t understand why his dream won’t be realized and because of that doing everything he can to disrupt the path that the ‘Will’ of the American people have decided to take.
Just in the last week or so Obama has destroyed the list of possible terrorists and their connections in America, and coincidentally just before terrorists published an America’s church hit list! Obama banned off shore drilling, then betrayed our number one ally in the Middle East, and now discussing the unproven allegations that Russia hacked the election that gave Trump the victory, and possibly, because of those unsubstantiated accusations, considering sanctions!
Obama, from the beginning, has become a psychopathic recluse who sits in the dark conspiring against our founding father’s success here at home and around the world, and has only one place to go to release those inner anti-American daemons, and that’s to the one place where they all have one thing in common, acceptance and inclusion, just like AA, and that’s the world famous United Nations!
THE UNITED NATIONS: OBAMA’S BULLY PULPIT!
With just over 3 weeks to go Obama has his anti-American revenge pedal to the metal to finish what a Hillary loss in the election couldn’t finish, and that’s destroy America from within through his and hers mentor Saul Alinsky, and then his underling professors at Columbia University Cloward and Piven, who filled in the missing blanks that Obama needed to know to complete his mission of the ideological transformation of America.
Click here> OBAMA HAD A GAME PLAN FROM THE BEGINNING, AND YOU’LL FIND IT HERE!!
John Kerry’s final Middle East policy speech “pathetic”, further heightening tensions between the two allies as President Barack Obama prepares to leave office.
Kerry tried to legitimize America’s United Nations abstention vote through doubling down and hiding again, like Obama has done many time before, behind ‘Who’ and ‘What’ America’s principles and policies are and always have been…WHAT??
WHAT PRINCIPLES, VALUES, AND POLICIES IS KERRY TRYING TO HIDE BEHIND? AND WHAT MAKES HIM THINK THEY’RE THE SAME PRINCIPLES, VALUES, AND POLICIES THAT HE BELIEVES ARE IN LINE WITH THE PRE-OBAMA ‘WILL’ OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE??
Where do I begin, and how much time do I have?
America opens its borders to unvetted illegal immigrants and refugees who won’t assimilate or follow our laws and looking to eliminate the religious beliefs that 77% of American believe in, but don’t worry, because that’s who we are!
America wants to give Iran a path to nuclear weapons because we would rather give than take, because that’s who we are!
America wants Hillary to lose $6 Billion dollars while secretary of State, and then accidently hand over $400 million in advanced weaponry to ISIS because we’re just that f*cking generous.
America wants all Americans who are on welfare and federally funded entitlements to get a little taste of what free stuff tastes like, and what Socialist values of spending other people’s money while pulling the rug out from under America’s economy and sneaking illegal cheaper labor under the radar while dangling a $15 minimum wage carrot in front of their noses, feels like!
America wants to tax America’s home grown ingenuity, industrial inventiveness, and our technical prowess, by charging our businesses and companies the highest corporate tax rate in the world! I don’t know about you, but I think I would be wondering why, and what does this achieve, right?
Well it’s basically out sourcing and redistributing America’s exceptionalism and wealth around the world, and at a huge cost to America’s future generations to come! Obama’s plan was to regulate and tax the shit out of our industrial superiority, and then due to his globalist agenda and policies, redistribute America’s wealth and America’s exceptionalism around the world, while at the same time sneaking third world cheaper labor in the back door to dilute and infiltrate our workforce to make the American workforce succumb to the pressures of working for less, and lowering the American standard bar far enough to meet the not so fortunate standards around the world, who are now, because of American’s sacrifice, on the way up to meet on an equal playing field!…….GLOBALISM!!!….tah dah!! Drum roll please!
America wants to undermine our men and women in blue and allow outside agitators, like George Soros, to come in and disrupt our election process!
Americans want our President to bypass our constitution, our congress, and play the race card every chance he gets to undermine our men and women in blue, Martin Luther king’s Memory and accomplishments, and shrink our military down to the size of WWI’s status and strength.
Americans want every symbol for our Christian beliefs to be torn down and trashed while defending and protecting other nations laws and anti-rights for women!
You can fill in the many blanks I left for you, but what we need to take away from all of this is that Obama, Hillary, and all of the chump change that takes their ‘lead,’ have no clue what America stands for!
America is a nation of laws, and if you don’t like the laws, then change them through the process that our founding fathers set up through our constitution and Constitutional Republic’s guidelines, or leave!
Americans believe live and let live, but within the parameters of our ‘Bill of Rights,’ our religious background and base, and the same individual rights that are granted to every citizen of the United States of America!
Obama’s political correctness and newly discovered implicit bias are just tools used by these two Alinskyites (Cloward-Piven) to separate and divide all Americans individual rights through the guise of personal choice, but then using those personal choices against one another to instill animosity and disdain for one’s private guidelines when fulfilling one’s personal perception of reality and goals! ~~
U.N. has “such great potential,” but it has become “just a club for people to get together, talk and have a good time. So sad!”
“The United Nations is not a friend of democracy. It’s not a friend to freedom,” Trump said at the American Israel Public Affairs
Committee conference in Washington. “It’s not a friend even to the United States of America, where as all know, it has its home, “And it surely isn’t a friend to Israel, and never has been!”
Trump added that any deal by the U.N. to force an agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority should be blocked, as it “will only further de-legitimatize Israel and it would reward Palestinian terrorism.”
Honestly, the U.N. de-legitimizes nearly everything it touches — the entire organization is rooted in globalism and all you see come out of the U.N. headquarters are letters — letters condemning North Korea or Iran for breaking an international treaty, for example.
However, that’s the extent of the U.N.’s reprimands. You’ll just see letters — “all talk, no action” as Trump might say.
In his AIPAC speech, Trump went over the atrocities Israel faced from surrounding countries and the U.N.’s apathy toward the matter. In fact, he aligned himself with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s sentiments:
“The Palestinians want a state, but they have to give peace in return. What they’re trying to do in the United Nations is to get a state without giving Israel peace or giving Israel peace and security. And I think that’s, that’s wrong. That should not succeed. That should, that should fail.”
At what point is enough, enough?
At what point are Obama supporters going to realize that they’ve been used to advance an agenda that’s nowhere near parallel to what’s made America great for generations of being run by patriotic Americans? At what point are the progressive left going to understand that once you realize Obama is not on your side, that everything he has done to undermine our Constitution and our exceptionalism is not only understandable, but makes perfect sense!
MIDDLE EAST PEACE ‘PLAN’ IS SIMPLY AND ACT OF MORAL COWARDICE!!
For eight years, Barack Obama has given lip service to our special relationship with Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East and our longtime ally. During that time, the United States has opposed anti-Israel efforts in the United Nations, standing shoulder to shoulder with Israel. But with less than four weeks before he leaves office, Barack Obama finally worked with Israel’s enemies to pass a United Nations resolution hostile to Israel.
This is an act of moral cowardice and immaturity the likes of which Barack Obama thinks only Donald Trump is capable of.
Nothing has changed in our relationship with Israel in the past several years. Obama has been increasingly hostile toward Israeli interests, but he has maintained a façade of friendship. Nothing has changed. The only thing that has changed is how much longer Barack Obama has in office and the fact that voters will never again see him on a ballot.
On Wednesday, with less than three weeks to go before they depart, John Kerry gave a speech offering a “comprehensive vision” on Middle East peace. He is allegedly expected to recognize a Palestinian state — something no American administration, including this one, has done.
Doing so three weeks before departing office does nothing but create headaches for an incoming administration by an outgoing administration too cowardly to do this before now.
It is not leadership to wait till you have one foot out the door to be bold. It is reckless cowardice and a descent into stereotype of Trumpism this administration believes. Turning nearly a half-century of American foreign policy on its head in the literal final weeks of a presidency is not competent leadership, but childish petulance.
Childish petulance, however, is Barack Obama’s legacy. His childish petulance, though he may never admit it, gave rise to Donald Trump, who is Obama’s ultimate legacy.

Leaked Documents Show U.S/Palestinian Collusion Before UN Resolution Vote According to the document, Kerry and National Security Adviser Susan Rice said America’s UN Ambassador Samantha Power was prepared to meet with Palestinian UN Ambassador Riyad Mansour to discuss the matter. Rice and Kerry are said to have asked Erekat and the other members of the delegation to keep the meeting top secret. Kerry and Rice said they wanted to avoid leaks of the meeting to the media because of the sensitivity of the transition to the Trump administration.
According to the leaked document, Rice told the Palestinian delegation that the Trump administration was very dangerous for them because his positions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict differed from those of all American administrations since 1967. Rice recommended that the Palestinians take seriously what Trump’s advisers were saying about moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem and annexation of parts of the West Bank to Israel.
The document quotes Rice as asking Erekat what the Palestinians would do if Trump moved the embassy to Jerusalem and made it possible for Israel to annex part of the West Bank. It quotes Erekat as replying that the Palestinians would immediately join 16 UN agencies in which they were not yet members, retract the PLO’s recognition of Israel, freeze security cooperation and diplomatic and economic ties with Israel, make Israel responsible for the management of daily life in the PA, and call on all Arab countries to expel U.S. ambassadors.
Over at The Washington Examiner, Joel Gehrke reported that the U.S. was discussing the resolution throughout the fall:
Secretary of State John Kerry advised Egyptian and Palestinian diplomats on how to write a resolution condemning Israeli settlement construction that would avoid an American veto, but he did not “orchestrate” the international rebuke, according to a spokesman.
“Of course, there has been for some time in the fall, talk about this resolution or that resolution with regard to Middle East peace and the Israeli-Palestinian issue,” State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters. “Of course, in the course of those conversations, we’re always making clear what our parameters are, what our beliefs are, what we need to see in order to even consider a resolution. That’s part of the give and take of the U.N. “Alan Dershowitz slammed Obama’s treatment of Israel with this resolution, adding that he will go down as one of the nation’s worst presidents regarding foreign policy.
Secretary of State John Kerry defended the U.S.’s decision to not veto the UN resolution on Israeli settlements, saying that right wing extremists are driving Israel—and that this was necessary to save the peace process. President-elect Trump said Israel should stay strong.

UNABLE TO BE STRAIGHT WITH HIMSELF – OR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!
President Obama underplays American concessions and overplays Iranian commitments in the nuclear talks.
In the confrontation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Barack Obama, we are seeing the consequences of the long game Obama initiated right in his inauguration eight years ago:
“To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent,” he declared, “know that you are on the wrong side of history, but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.”
A regime might well be tyrannous and murderous, as Iran had been since the return of Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979, but the better angels of human nature might reassert themselves if embraced in a web of cooperation. It was a big bet, given the history of Iran where the very word ‘democracy’ was not used in Khomeini’s regime, with many hundreds executed and thousands targeted for assassination in other countries. And the new Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei had maintained that monstrous program for a time, even doubling the rewards for assassinations. He interpreted Obama’s gesture as a weakness.
Six months later, he was brutal in his suppression of the Green Revolution. He was confirmed in his evaluation when the Obama administration failed to do more than whimper. Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates has said he now regrets their restraint; they were advised by the CIA and the State Department that too powerful an American voice might enable the regime to label the protesters as American puppets. Maybe so, but the inertia was also an expression of the new strategy of conciliation. Gates says the suppression of the Green Revolution ended “most support inside the administration.” What it didn’t end was Obama’s infatuation with his illusion of making Iran safe for democracy.
Khamenei’s appreciation of U.S. restraint was another bout of fist-clenching, albeit in secrecy. `Only later did we discover that he had built an underground bunker at Fordow for the enrichment of uranium, in violation of the agreements under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. For a moment, there, it seemed as if Obama would follow the angry French lead and react forcefully. Khamenei adroitly forestalled punishment by a sudden bout of reasonableness. He agreed that the Iranians would ship their stockpiles of low-grade fissile material to Russia in exchange for fuel rods for energy. This played brilliantly to the Obama strategy. He resisted the congressional hawks who hadn’t imbibed the Kool-Aid. Doubting Thomases, they thought Iran could not be trusted so by 99 votes to zero enacted the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions Accountability and Divestment Act.
Once the focus on this initial crisis was diverted, Khamenei reneged on the deal. Only recently the Iranians insisted that the transfer the world thought was happening is not. Iran has held on to its uranium, a failure that ought to have reaped headlines, but hasn’t: For the media, the Netanyahu vs. Obama show is more fun.
Obama was not deflected from his strategy by Iran’s second thought. Indeed, his attachment to it was one of the reasons he finally retreated from the red line he had drawn in Syria. The CIA had drawn up a plan to equip Syrian rebels in Jordan and provide assistance once they were back in Syria. Obama stopped it – not because he’d gone soft on Bashar Assad. It was because he was still soft on Iran, Assad’s main benefactor.
Subsequently Obama opened a secret bilateral channel to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s regime, according to Mosaic’s Michael Doran. Major concessions were offered on sanctions and permitting the Iranians to continue enriching uranium to levels of 5 percent. Six U.N. Security Council resolutions had ordered Iran to cease all enrichment and reprocessing. Iran demanded the right to enrich. In effect, Obama was prepared to end the economic sanctions on Iran entirely and allow the Iranians to enrich uranium in perpetuity, Doran wrote.
Obama is such a captive of his own illusions about Iran that he has been unable to be straight with the American people. In reporting, belatedly on the November 2013 interim agreement, he boasted it had “halted” Iran’s nuclear program. In fact, major
American concessions were traded for Iranian gestures of temporary restraint, concessions that will likely never be reversed. Instead of halting the Iranian program, the agreement froze only American actions. Iranian nuclear engineers continued their work to improve the efficiency of their centrifuges and to master the use of more effective centrifuges.
No nuclear plant is being dismantled. Here, too, the administration has misled the public by underplaying the American concessions and overplaying the Iranian commitment. The Iranian foreign minister blew a hole in the smooth talk by defying an interviewer on television to find a single word in the agreement that even closely resembled dismantling or could be defined as dismantling in the entire text. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani went further. Iran had refused to destroy centrifuges, he said, and would never destroy them under any circumstances, contrary to the implicit suggestion by the administration that the final agreement would force the Iranians to dismantle some 15,000 centrifuges.
Obama thought he was offering a strategic accommodation with the U.S., but Khamenei is betting that Obama will accommodate Iran even if it pursues an industrial-scale nuclear program. Remarkably, Obama retreated even further in agreeing Iran could have $700 million a month in revenues reportedly allowing Iran to retain in one form or another its facilities in Natanz, Fordow and Arak, sites that Iran built in flagrant violation of the non-proliferation treaty, wrote Doran. Dennis Ross, Bill Clinton’s and Obama’s preeminent Middle East peace envoy, is scathing in his condemnation of the president’s ongoing concessions to the Iranians.
The people most affected by Obama’s zeal for a strategic grand bargain with Iran see through all this. Netanyahu’s Hail Mary pass before Congress was a devastating indictment boldly delivered. Obama’s successive appeasements, he said, had added up to paving the way to an Iranian bomb (and the unregulated missiles they’re building, too).And again, if Iran wants to be treated like a normal country, let it behave like one.
It trains and arms terrorists in Hamas and Hezbollah. Khamenei’s idea of moderation is to channel Pol Pot. In a recent post, he says he doesn’t mean Israel should be annihilated by a bomb but simply abolished as a country inhabited by people there before 1948. Oh, and yes, give weapons to Palestinians on the West Bank. Presumably not to be policemen, but to simply eradicate Jews who don’t want to leave.
None of the Sunni powers in the region see American outreach to Tehran as good news, particularly since Obama has given Iran a free hand in Syria and Iraq over the last three years. Obama has allowed Iranian troops to dig on the border of Israel and the border of Jordan. King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia urged the U.S. to destroy Iran’s program and thereby “cut off the head of the snake in the Middle East.”
A proposed 10-year ban on Iran’s nuclear work won’t cut off the head. It is too short a time for a transition to a civilized state – and do we really want a nuclear-capable Iran, ever? Not in 10, 20, 100 years. We should abandon the daydream that embracing and enriching Iran will turn it into Switzerland. To date, the efforts to sooth the rogue regime are emboldening it. Iran is thinking like an old-fashioned superpower, yet instead of forcing them to get rid of the Iranian nuclear threat, we’re not even verifying or inspecting it.
The risks of letting Iran get to the one-year threshold of being a nuclear power are too great, given how much religion and ideology dominate their thinking. Ray Takeyh of the Council on Foreign Relations describes a 10-year timeframe as a “catastrophic mistake”. Anyway, let’s not get hung up on 10, 11, 12 – Obama talks of “double digits” at one moment and “10” the next. But do we ever want a nuclear-capable Iran in a country as anti-American as the pronouncements of the Iranian leaders suggest they are?
As David Brooks of The New York Times put it, “If the Iranian leaders believe what they say, then United States policy should be exactly the opposite of the one now being pursued. Instead of embracing and enriching Iran, sanctions should be toughened to further isolate and weaken it. Instead of accepting a nuclear capacity, eliminating that capacity should be restored as the centerpiece of American policy.” Iran has taken full control of Syria. Revolutionary Guard commanders have taken charge of the front from the Golan Heights all the way down to Deraa in the south. More than 10,000 Shite volunteers have been flown to Syria to repel the Sunnis.
This process of Iran-ization is unfolding just 10 kilometers from Israel’s border. Washington, which seems to want a nuclear agreement at nearly any price, has turned a blind eye and is exploiting America’s lack of familiarity with the region. In effect, it has lent its support in transferring control over Damascus to the Iranians.
That puts Israel in much greater danger of another broad Iranian front and will present a new regional reality in the form of Iranian power. It is astounding that a country, Iran, that engages in global terrorism that floods the Middle East with blood and surrounds Israel with terror on three fronts, Lebanon, Gaza and the Golan, be given a tool to threaten the region and to have the capacity to launch an existential threat to Israel. America’s key allies across the Middle East are as upset as Israel over the administration’s pursuit of a nuclear bargain with Iran, for they see an America that is about to abandon its long-standing friends to win the favor of their common foe, which is on a rampage across the region. No wonder in a Fox News poll 84 percent of Americans think allowing Iran to get nuclear weapons in 10 years is a bad idea.
This is a life and death issue for Israel. With just one bomb Iran can do to the Jews in 12 minutes what Adolf Hitler did in 12 years. Jews learned from the Holocaust to take fanatics at their word. Nobel prize laureate Elie Wiesel’s invitation is compelling, “Will you join me in hearing the case for keeping weapons from those who preach death to Israel and America.”
The great Greek leader and historian Pericles once warned: “What I fear more than the strategies of our enemies is our own mistakes.”
With memories of another rabid leader many years ago, whose name was Hitler, it is natural that Israel would consider a nuclear armed Iran as an existential threat. This is a nation, perhaps the only nation, that has been constantly threatened with extinction. Israel is not the enemy. Iran is, especially if it is a nuclear-armed Iran. We should not abandon an ally in the hopes of appeasing an enemy.

I wanted to end this trip down memory lane with a fact that’s elude me for all these months when talking about why the Obama/Biden, and now the Biden/Harris want to do away with our men and women in Blue and our fighting men and women in the military, and then replace them with an international force that will serve the role as both the police and military when it comes to enforcing international law over the guaranteed rights that 350 Million Americans now share with every other American!
The rest of the 7.7 Billion of the world’s population is forced to go with, when it comes to ‘Rights,’ is about whatever trickles down from those hand me down bloodline leaders of other nations that have oppressed the masses of the rest of the world for generations and the reason why:
THE OBAMA/BIDEN ADMINISTRATION WAS ASKING MILITARY OFFICERS IF THEY WILL SHOOT AMERICANS!!
Former Navy SEAL Ben Smith warns that the Obama administration is asking top brass in the military if they would be comfortable with disarming U.S. citizens, a litmus test that includes gauging whether they would be prepared to order troops to fire on Americans.
The ‘End Game’ fills in the blanks on how America got to where we are starting back in 1992 with the Signing of the United Nations Agenda 21 through all the Robert Mueller years that started with Bush 41, the next 3 Administrations, Obama’s ‘Non-Scandals.’ the United Nations role, the corrupt FBI, DOJ, and CIA, the Obama economy lies, the Obama’s Administrations list of Constitutional violations, being a Natural Born Citizen, George Soros’s history, McConnell and Ryan’s back stabbing of President Trump, Chief Justice Roberts, Obama’s disdain for America’s military, the Climate Change Hoax, the China Virus’s/COVID-19’s history from it’s inception, the 1st Impeachment trial, Immigration, Ukraine, Joe Biden and son’s Quid Pro Quo and more like our children’s Common Core education, and a lot more… Book and 70+ Articles I’ve written since I handed in the transcript for the book Information can be found by clicking this link: The ‘End Game’ Updates!’
