Trump became a wartime president the day he was sworn in and has been waging war against a global cabal ever since. But I believe he will ultimately go down in history not only as our greatest president, but also one of the greatest peacemaker’s of all time.
Q post #4724:
He wasn’t a puppet and wasn’t controlled by anybody. He recognized not only how the game was played in the Middle East, but who the real enemy was. He knew that the hidden enemy was Al Waleed, not his puppets. Trump removed Al Waleed from the chessboard first, then killed Qasem Soleimani, who was his biggest puppet in the Middle East. Everything was centered around Iran because that’s who was funding all the terrorists and giving them weapons and training.
Weren’t they under sanctions and not allowed to participate in the global financial system because of their support for global terrorism? Their oil supplies were being sanctioned. Soleimani and his Quds force, along with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard were all designated as terrorists and sanctioned too.
How were they funding all the terrorists they controlled?
Iran was Al Waleed’s most important proxy state in the Middle East. All roads of corruption tied to Al Waleed lead back to Iran. It was at the center of terrorism and wars, but it was involved in so much more.
A quote from one of Trump’s favorite books: The Art of War:
Two things happened at the end of the Obama administration that have opened the door to exposing it all:
1. Pallets of cash.
2. The Iran nuclear deal.
They are both linked, but not in the way the media portrayed them at the time. In this article, I want to focus on the pallets of cash because money is the keystone to revealing everything.
As Q said, “follow the money.”
Here’s a portion of a great Q post that gives a huge clue and connects some dots.
Q post 430, Dec 22, 2017:
Clowns are what Q calls the CIA. This drop is all about the CIA.
Who controls North Korea?
The media has told us for a long time that China controlled North Korea. They told us North Korea was just their little puppet. But who ‘really’ controlled North Korea? How did they get their weapons of mass destruction?
North Korea was a puppet of the CIA, who provided them with the technology and money to produce nuclear weapons. John Brennan lied to the incoming Trump administration on the intel of both North Korea and Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
The Iran nuclear deal will help expose it all, but I will leave that important story for a coming article.
I want to focus on the other part of this post that is also directly connected to the CIA.
Why is IRAN protected? Why is IRAN FUNDED by the US? What news about IRAN broke? Drugs?
The CIA has been involved in drug trafficking for a long time. It’s been well documented, but the media almost never talks about it.
But it’s so much worse than most people know.
Here’s the first media lie that has been pushed from the beginning of this story:
‘The pallets of cash were part of the Iran nuclear deal.’
Have you heard of the term ‘red herring?’
Here’s the red herring that was the second media lie and was argued about on both sides in order to distract from the truth:
The pallets of cash were a ‘ransom payment for hostages.’
That lie was meant to garner sympathy from democrat supporters because even they won’t support funding terrorism.
Those pallets of cash in foreign currencies were flown on unmarked planes in the middle of the night and nobody was supposed to ever know about it.
As Trump loves to say, “They got caught.”
Speaking of Trump, he’s quoted in a Q post on this subject:
Not a single investigation, just a lot of pundits in the media talking about a ransom payment for hostages as a distraction.
According to the Investor’s Business Daily:
Iran: One of the linchpins of former President Obama's nuclear deal with Iran was that it would be accompanied by a near-ban on Iran having any access to the U.S. banking system. A new congressional report says that, too, was a lie.
Obama and his officials at the Treasury Department and State Department were clear: They would work assiduously to freeze out Iran from getting dollars to fund its mischief and mayhem around the world.
Obama sent a clear message to Congress: If you don't block this nuclear deal, we will bar Iran's access to our financial system. The deal was clear, unequivocal.
It was also a lie. Obama lied, and so did others in his administration.
That's the conclusion of a report by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. It alleges Obama officials pushed the U.S. Treasury to let Iran convert the equivalent of $5.7 billion of funds held in Oman's Bank of Muscat from rials into dollars and subsequently into euros.
It required a special license by the U.S. Treasury, which was granted in February of 2016. But it was never disclosed, either to Congress or the American people.
Apart from the lie, which is bad enough for an administration that claimed repeatedly to be "scandal-free," this money did not have innocuous uses. Far from it.
Our own State Department characterizes Iran as the No. 1 terrorist-supporting state on Earth. Every dollar it gets from us has an ultimate use that is highly questionable, which is the reason why the U.S. imposed sanctions in the first place.
Why was cash so important? Why was it not in US dollars, but instead given to Iran in other foreign currencies?
The entire global financial system is controlled by the dollar. Iran was designated a state sponsor of terrorism.
So was Soleimani, the Quds Force, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, Hezbollah and Hamas. That made it illegal for banks to do transactions with them or companies associated with them. Giving them foreign currencies was all about getting around the sanctions. Obama funded terrorism and ‘got caught.’
Remember, this was a secret mission to fly cash under the radar to Iran that was exposed, and Obama was now reacting to that exposure. We learned about the cash payments after they happened. It was leaked by ‘Ghosts in the machine,’ in my opinion.
Here’s a Q post talking about it and tying it directly to the CIA and North Korea that was posted just days before Al Waleed’s arrest:
The CIA controlled both North Korea and Iran. It took several planes to haul the amount of cash in the middle of the night into Iran under the cover of darkness. It wasn’t just to fund terrorism, but to also secretly fund the CIA who was promoting the terrorists in order to start wars.
The CIA controlled the whole operation; it was completely separate from the Iran nuclear deal, even though the Obama administration and all the media told us it was all related.
Part of another relevant Q post #1948, Aug 28, 2018:
Trump knows not only that this was a CIA operation completely separate from the Iran nuclear deal, but he also knows all the details. He knows how many planes, where they landed and at what time. He knows how the cash was divided and who it was going to. He knows they were trying to avoid wire transfer logs and keep all of Congress in the dark, along with hiding it under foreign aid through Europe, which was a way to get around the law against funding terrorism.
Don’t miss that last line in this post.
That would be the NSA (military intelligence).
We have it all!
According to The Washington Times:
The U.S. government has traced some of the $1.7 billion released to Iran by the Obama administration to Iranian-backed terrorists in the two years since the cash was transferred.
According to knowledgeable sources, Iran has used the funds to pay its main proxy, the Lebanon-based terrorist group Hezbollah, along with the Quds Force, Iran’s main foreign intelligence and covert action arm and element of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The U.S. money supplied to Iran as part of an arms settlement dating back to the 1970s also has been traced to Iran’s backing of Houthi rebels seeking to take power in Yemen. Iran has been supporting the Yemen rebels as part of a bid to encircle and eventually take control of Saudi Arabia.
“The enormous financial windfall the Iranian regime received because of the deal — access to more than $100 billion, including $1.8 billion in cash — has not been used to better the lives of the Iranian people,” Mr. Trump said Jan. 12. “Instead, it has served as a slush fund for weapons, terror, and oppression, and to further line the pockets of corrupt regime leaders.”
Mr. Trump said the United States is countering Iranian proxy wars in Yemen and Syria and cutting the regime’s money flows to terrorists.
“We have sanctioned nearly 100 individuals and entities involved with the Iranian regime’s ballistic missile program and its other illicit activities,” he said.
Do you want more evidence that this wasn’t about the Iran nuclear deal, but was instead a secret CIA operation?
According to CBS News:
The Obama administration said Wednesday it paid $1.3 billion in interest to Iran in January to resolve a decades-old dispute over an undelivered military sale, two days after allowing $400 million in cash to fly to Tehran.
State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau says the U.S. couldn’t say more about the Jan. 19 payments because of diplomatic sensitivities. They involved 13 separate payments of $99,999,999.99 and final payment of about $10 million. There was no explanation for the Treasury Department keeping the individual transactions under $100 million.
It’s important to know the context of this news story. The payments in foreign cash totaling $1.7 billion had been delivered secretly to Iran back in January of 2016 and we were just hearing about it in August of the same year.
Why were the 13 separate payments just one penny under $100 million dollars? Clearly to avoid a red flag trigger which would have notified Congress or other government agencies.
More from the same CBS News report:
The money settles a dispute over a $400 million payment made in the 1970s by the U.S.-backed shah’s government for military equipment. The equipment was never delivered because of the 1979 Islamic Revolution that overthrew the shah and ended diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Iran.
Republican critics accuse the administration of paying a “ransom.”
President Barack Obama and other officials deny such claims, though they’ve struggled to explain why the U.S. paid in cash. President Obama said it was because the United States and Iran didn’t have a banking relationship after years of nuclear-related sanctions, but that wouldn’t rule out using intermediary banks that maintain relationship with both.
There was absolutely no reason to give the chief sponsor of terrorism in the world $1.7 billion in cash and even CBS News said Obama was having a hard time explaining that.
More from the CBS News article:
The money came from a little-known fund administered by the Treasury Department for settling litigation claims. The so-called Judgment Fund is taxpayer money Congress has permanently approved in the event it’s needed, allowing the president to bypass direct congressional approval to make a settlement. The U.S. previously paid out $278 million in Iran-related claims by using the fund in 1991.
That’s a key data point connecting a lot of things.
Obama used tax payer money to fund terrorists through the Judgment Fund, a fund set up for litigation purposes.
Litigation where?
The International Court of Justice.
From Wikipedia:
The lie of $400 million for hostages didn’t explain the $1.3 billion in payments that happened “after” the hostages were released, so Obama came up with a new lie that we owed the money from a past weapons deal with Iran.
Here’s where it gets really interesting.
You see, the enemy keeps using the same playbook over the years because it’s been successfully deployed in the past.
Who was president in 1991, the last time the US government gave Iran a lot of cash and used the same Judgement Fund to do it?
None other than President H.W. Bush, our 41st president, who just happened to have been a member of the CIA and headed the agency before becoming president Ronald Reagan’s Vice President.
According to the New York Times:
The Bush Administration is eager to resolve financial disputes with Iran to improve relations in the post-Khomeini era and possibly pave the way for the release of American hostages in Lebanon, senior Administration officials said today.
At a news conference today, President Bush noted that Iran and the United States still owed each other money and said, ''I'd like to get this underbrush cleaned out now.''
Mr. Bush's comments came a day after American officials disclosed that Iran and the United States had worked out an arrangement by which Iran would receive $567 million from one account, a portion of the money frozen in Washington after Iranians stormed the United States Embassy in Tehran in 1979. The United States would keep the balance of the account, $243 million, as part of a larger pool of money to be used against further American claims.
The decision to return much of Iran's frozen funds follows unannounced talks last week between Iranian officials and Abraham D. Sofaer, the State Department's legal adviser, at a special American-Iranian claims tribunal in The Hague.
One indication of the Administration’s eagerness in paying back the money is that it did not wait for the independent tribunal to rule against the United States, as it has in the past, but dispatched Mr. Sofaer to speed the process.
In addition to the financial assets in dispute, Iran has filed a $12 billion claim against the United States for military equipment and spare parts that Iran says were paid for and not delivered. American officials say the United States is holding only a fraction of that amount.
Cash paid to Iran out of the Judgment Fund because of a supposed looming loss at the International Court of Justice, with both having American hostages involved?
Obama used that last part of the story to explain why he had paid Iran another $1.3 billion in cash.
‘It was just money that we already owed Iran for a weapons deal never completed back when the Shah of Iran was removed from power by the current regime.’
Obama wanted everyone to believe that we were going to lose that case before the international court anyway, so we needed to pay it.
Here’s a revealing article on the international court after Iran sued the Trump administration for pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal and putting even more sanctions on Iran.
According to Reuters:
THE HAGUE (Reuters) - Iranian lawyers asked the International Court of Justice on Monday to order the United States to lift sanctions imposed by the Trump administration against Tehran, but Washington described the suit as meritless.
At the start of a week of hearings in The Hague, the court’s president asked the United States to respect the outcome of the case that Iran filed in July. During their decades of animosity, both countries have ignored some rulings at the court.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo described Iran’s suit as “an attempt to interfere with the sovereign rights of the United States to take lawful actions, including re-imposition of sanctions, which are necessary to protect our national security.”
The ICJ is the United Nations tribunal for resolving international disputes. Its rulings are binding, but it has no power to enforce them.
The United States and Iran have clashed at the court in the past since they became enemies after Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution. Iran ignored a 1980 U.S. suit at the ICJ over the seizure of American diplomats in Tehran, which the court found to be illegal.
Both countries have ignored the court’s rulings in the past. Why?
The International Court has no power to enforce its rulings.
There was literally nothing that could have forced either President Bush or Obama to pay Iran anything considering they were not just our enemy, but also the biggest sponsor of terrorism in the world.
It was just another Obama lie to hide the real reason for the secret CIA operation that was funding terrorism.
But let’s circle back to the beginning.
Why is IRAN protected? Why is IRAN FUNDED by the US? What news about IRAN broke? Drugs?
It’s far worse than most people can imagine.
According to The Begin-Sadat Center For Strategic Studies:
When it comes to business connections, Hezbollah is “the Gambinos on steroids,” said a former DEA official, referring to the infamous American crime family. Other criminal organizations are adept at producing drugs, running protection rackets, and monopolizing illicit businesses, but they lack global networks for shipping and distributing goods and laundering the proceeds. That is where Hezbollah comes in, along with its willing collaborators in various Lebanese diaspora communities around the world. Do you need five tons of cocaine delivered to Antwerp? To launder the cash back to Colombia? To process phantom transactions from Vietnam to Venezuela through money exchange houses? Hezbollah can provide those services, and its ability to do so is what keeps it afloat.
The effectiveness of Hezbollah’s laundromat depends on its direct, well-documented involvement in the drug trade.
American law enforcement discovered Hezbollah’s drug activity by chance in 2006, when Colombian wiretaps monitoring a Medellin- based drug cartel known as the Oficina del Envigado picked up conversations in Arabic. The DEA brought in a translator who explained that Hezbollah was arranging multi-ton shipments of cocaine to the Middle East. In the ensuing investigation, codenamed Operation Titan (originally launched in 2004 to target the Oficina), the DEA opened a Pandora’s Box. This led to Project Cassandra, a decade-long operation launched in 2007 that sought to stop Hezbollah from trafficking drugs into the US and Europe.
Cassandra’s key finding was that Hezbollah’s shipments of cocaine were not a small sideshow by loosely affiliated individuals but a multibillion dollar, worldwide operation orchestrated by top officials within Hezbollah’s inner circle.
Hezbollah has been trafficking illegal drugs globally for years to fund terrorism. Our DEA accidentally discovered this massive operation back in 2006 during the presidency of George W. Bush. The truth is, it had been happening going back to the 1980’s when his father, president H.W. Bush had helped get them established in the drug trade in Latin America.
Operation Cassandra was launched in 2007, and it was so massive that it was going on throughout the Obama administration.
According to Politico:
(Reader note: all references to Politico are from this same article unless notified. It’s a three-part series, and I would encourage you to hit the link and read this entire article.)
The campaign, dubbed Project Cassandra, was launched in 2008 after the Drug Enforcement Administration amassed evidence that Hezbollah had transformed itself from a Middle East-focused military and political organization into an international crime syndicate that some investigators believed was collecting $1 billion a year from drug and weapons trafficking, money laundering and other criminal activities.
Over the next eight years, agents working out of a top-secret DEA facility in Chantilly, Virginia, used wiretaps, undercover operations and informants to map Hezbollah’s illicit networks, with the help of 30 U.S. and foreign security agencies.
They followed cocaine shipments, some from Latin America to West Africa and on to Europe and the Middle East, and others through Venezuela and Mexico to the United States. They tracked the river of dirty cash as it was laundered by, among other tactics, buying American used cars and shipping them to Africa. And with the help of some key cooperating witnesses, the agents traced the conspiracy, they believed, to the innermost circle of Hezbollah and its state sponsors in Iran.
We’ll come back to that huge story.
This was a massive criminal enterprise that had been operating under the radar for a long time. It had grown into a lot more than just drug trafficking. But the Obama administration was doing everything they could to hinder the investigation.
More from the Politico article:
But as Project Cassandra reached higher into the hierarchy of the conspiracy, Obama administration officials threw an increasingly insurmountable series of roadblocks in its way, according to interviews with dozens of participants who in many cases spoke for the first time about events shrouded in secrecy, and a review of government documents and court records.
The Justice Department declined requests by Project Cassandra and other authorities to file criminal charges against major players such as Hezbollah’s high-profile envoy to Iran, a Lebanese bank that allegedly laundered billions in alleged drug profits, and a central player in a U.S.-based cell of the Iranian paramilitary Quds Force. And the State Department rejected requests to lure high-value targets to countries where they could be arrested.
There was a key figure in the Obama administration that was protecting Hezbollah from the criminal investigation.
More from Politico:
Obama had entered office in 2009 promising to improve relations with Iran as part of a broader rapprochement with the Muslim world.
The man who would become Obama’s top counterterrorism adviser and then CIA director, John Brennan, went further. He recommended in a policy paper that “the next president has the opportunity to set a new course for relations between the two countries” through not only a direct dialogue, but “greater assimilation of Hezbollah into Lebanon’s political system.”
“Hezbollah is a very interesting organization,” Brennan told a Washington conference, saying it had evolved from “purely a terrorist organization” to a militia and, ultimately, a political party with representatives in the Lebanese Parliament and Cabinet, according to a Reuters report.
In practice, the administration’s willingness to envision a new role for Hezbollah in the Middle East, combined with its desire for a negotiated settlement to Iran’s nuclear program, translated into a reluctance to move aggressively against the top Hezbollah operatives, according to Project Cassandra members and others.
The Obama administration was doing everything they could to block the Hezbollah investigation. Hezbollah was nicknamed ‘The Laundromat’ for a reason. They were laundering money through so many different things, but there was one way that caught the investigators by surprise.
The man doing it was one of the top Hezbollah leaders.
More from the Politico article:
But it was Safieddine, a low-key, bespectacled man with a diplomatic bearing, who was their key point of connection from his base in Tehran, investigators believed.
The Colombia and Venezuela investigations linked him to numerous international drug smuggling and money laundering networks, and especially to one of the biggest the DEA had ever seen, led by Medellin-based Lebanese businessman Ayman Joumaa.
Joumaa’s network rang alarm bells in Washington when agents discovered he was working with Mexico’s brutal Los Zetas cartel to move multi-ton loads of cocaine directly into the United States, and washing $200 million a month in criminal proceeds with the help of 300 or so used car dealerships. The network would funnel huge amounts of money to the dealerships to purchase used cars, which would then be shipped to Benin, on Africa’s west coast.
Here’s a picture of those huge car lots in Africa and how much it has expanded over the years.
They were laundering $200 million dollars a month through approximately 300 car dealerships in America. It was connected to the deadly Los Zetas cartel in Mexico. (More on them in my next article)
Do you remember the ‘red herring’arguments that were used as a distraction in the media?
1. It would help the struggling economy.
2. It would help reduce emissions effecting climate change.
3. It would give the automaker’s another bailout.
While the whole country debated for months on whether or not those three reasons were worth the $2 billion in tax payer money doled out to increase car sales, it was all a perfect distraction.
According to another article from Politico:
While over 650,000 clunkers were traded in, consumers only bought 380,000 vehicles they wouldn’t have otherwise purchased, the researchers conclude.
NADA said this ignores other car sales generated by interest in the clunkers program, and that dealers — whose lots were empty only months earlier — typically sold two cars outside the clunkers program for every clunker-eligible vehicle purchased.
Cash for Clunkers “provided a dramatic boost to auto manufacturing production and retail sales by bringing in more than 900,000 customers to automotive showrooms and generating record vehicle sales increases,” Wood said, adding that an automotive research group’s study found only 4 percent of participants in the Clunkers program would’ve purchased or leased a car without the extra incentive.
What better way to massively increase the size of Hezbollah’s Laundromat, than to offer $2 billion in tax payer money as an incentive to trade in your used car for a new one?
If Hezbollah is purchasing $200 million dollars worth of used cars a month and shipping them to Africa to sell so they can launder drug money, how do you hide the huge shortage of used cars available for purchase in America?
The used car that was traded in had to be destroyed to reduce emissions. Do you really think all those used cars got destroyed? I’m willing to bet that about 300 used car dealerships with connections to Hezbollah were busy buying as many of those vehicles they could get their hands on.
The perfect distraction.
Now you know the real purpose behind ‘Cash for Clunkers’.
