Iran: Where Obama Appeased Trump Brings the Pain

Iran-Map-22-620x350Here’s something you probably missed in your diet of Cable News, if you can even stomach that stuff. Since Trump dumped the Iran deal and introduced sanctions, Iranian currency has lost 40% of its value.

The rial has lost 40 per cent of its value since last month, when President Donald Trump pulled out of Iran’s 2015 nuclear accord and announced draconian sanctions on Tehran.

These include an attempt to shut down the international sale of Iranian oil, Tehran’s main source of revenue, a threat that has cast a chill over the economy.

So is it likely that Obama knew about this and STILL gave Iran billions of dollars to ‘cement’ his ‘legacy’

Falling Man TortureAnswer: yes. I’m betting that everything else was Shiny Objects and Obama only wanted to give the mullahs that planeload of currency:

Iranian officials, in a first, have admitted to facilitating the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the U.S. by secretly aiding the free travel of al Qaeda operatives who eventually went on to fly commercial airliners into the Twin Towers in New York City, according to new remarks from a senior Iranian official.

America’s Declining Influence in the Middle East

Our guest is Avi Melamed, an internationally acclaimed Middle East expert, a former Senior official on Arab Affairs and Intelligence, and the author of “Inside the Middle East. Making Sense of the Most Dangerous and Complicated Region on Earth.”      

Obama, O’Malley, GrokWATCH, etc..

In this segment we touch on Obama’s Iran policy, our invite to Martin O’Malley, how you can write for GraniteGrok, and the goals of the new 603 Alliance. Hint: to prevent some establishment RINO from winning the NH Primary.  

Bugs Obama, Yosemite Assad, Wile Iranians and Red Lines

The Charlatan in Chief blustered and threw down a red line last August to the Assad regime on chemical weapons.

Or so it seemed to his fans at the time.

He went forth to the adoring throngs with their laptops, tech Pad du jours, and cameras clutched and at the ready. Their attention hung on every bleated word as it made its way from the beguiling and Smartest President Evertm into their pixels and ink. Emotionally woozy, the reporters didn’t follow up for clarification; they just transmitted the text before the vapors overwhelmed them. “Ooooh, he’s so brave. He mentioned a red line. Did you hear that? He put down a red line… ‘scuse me I need to head to the restroom.”

Well, what he actually said was (emphasis mine):

Iran’s New Stealth Fighter – So Stealthy It’s As If It Doesn’t Even Exist

Q313 Iranian Stealth Fighter?
Q-313-1 Iranian Stealth Fighter or Tom Cruise’ Blow Up Pool Toy?

Iran announced that it had entered the Stealth Fighter club with the introduction of the Quaher 313.  But after reviewing the pictures provided by the Iranian Government and FARS news agency the Fighter Jet enthusiasts agree with King Arthur’s trusty steed,  ‘It’s only a model.’

From John Reed at Foriegn Policy Magazine (Free Subscription Required):

When I first looked at the plane Saturday morning, I could tell it was bogus. Look at the photos of the cockpit: there’s barely any wiring. In fact, it looks like the Iranians dumped some rudimentary flight controls and an ejection seat into a shell molded in what they thought were stealthy angles.

Clinton a “Finest” Secretary of State? Ridiculous!!

President Obama says Secretary Clinton has been one of our country’s finest Secretaries of State.  Huh??  Is the President now smoking something other than cigarettes?

Is the world safer, more peaceful, are threats reduced, is our country more respected around the world, are people more free than they were when Hillary took over as Secretary of State?  No, no, no, no and no!

The Middle East is in turmoil and the power of radical Muslims is increasing (with our help!!).  Non-aggressive governments in Egypt and Libya have been replaced, with Hillary’s and Obama’s help, with anti-American governments that want to destroy Israel.  The Obama administration armed al Queda affiliates in Libya and Syria.

Attempt to Cover up Naive, Dangerous, Failed Obama Policies

For weeks President Obama and his top aides lied to us, claiming the events in the Middle East on 9-11 were caused by a movie that few people even knew about.   Those claims were attempts to cover up President Obama’s failed Middle East policies that strengthen terrorists, comfort our enemies, and are bringing the world to the brink of nuclear war.   

For years Democrats told us that killing Osama would destroy al-Qaeda and win the war on terror.  The 9-11 attacks exposed that obvious falsehood. 

President Obama refused requests for assistance for the real democracy revolution in Iran that would have helped stabilize the Middle East and end Iran’s aid to enemies that kill American soldiers.

Media Bias In Iran – Not that Different

This story is about how the Iranian currency, the rial, has lost four fifths of its value in the past year.  While that has many portents what caught my eye was this… “They spend billions of dollars to keep Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in power, but now they say they have no money!,” one garment … Read more

Just a Theory…

I think Iran and Egypt are co-coordinating a response to the impending Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear capability.

The expectation is that Israel will do something before the November elections.  Egypt, which is now engaging in diplomatic exchanges with Iran, has recently moved more military hardware into the Sinai peninsula to deal with militants and security issues.  There are probably plenty of those, and by all accounts, Israel is not balking at allowing Egypt to deal with those (per long standing peace treaty agreements), but there is the matter of Egyptian tanks that were moved into the region, which Israeli officials claim they did not know about in advance.

The Coming War…Blood for Nothing.

No, I am not talking about the presidential campaign, though that will be similar to a war.  I am referring to what Mr. Obama will do if he feels he has to to get re-elected. Hold on to your peacenik badges lefties, because that hope and change you’ve been clinging to will take another hit … Read more

I think this might prove to be troublesome to Ron Paul?

“Iran’s warriors are ready and willing to wipe Israel off the map,” That from the Iran’s Deputy Defense Minister, Ahmad Vahidi.  Now, he is saying this in context of Israel attacking Iran to stop the latter from getting the bomb – a terse warning of “don’t try it”. The real problem is, however, is the … Read more

Would Someone Please Ask Ron Paul…

Are we convinced a Nuclear Iran does not assist in the development of a Nuclear Syria, or Turkey, or some other Middle-East nation? We are to believe that a Nuclear Iran, which has been moving conventional weapons to Hezbollah and others would never think of doing the same with other weapons?

The Threat From Iran

The need to stop policing the world, a desire to avoid wars like that in Iraq and Afghanistan, and a consensus similar to Rep Paul’s, that Iran is not the threat the war-mongring neo-con’s make it out to be, all rise to the surface of the debate. But while it is reasonable to argue these points, does it make sense to use them as an excuse to keep our head in the sand about Iran for another four years while the suicidal mad man build nuclear weapons?

Dangerous Democrats

Obama and the democrats can let Iran build nukes because it is a no-lose situation for them. Inaction is action. If by chance Iran does not nuke up, they will take credit. If it does, and then kills millions, they will blame George Bush, or obstructionist Republicans.

The Missiles of Venezuela

missile.jpgOriginally reported last November by Germany’s Die Welt, but just recently resurrected by The Drudge Report from the Jerusalem Post, Iran–the Islamic regime that has been waging war on the United States since 1979–is building intermediate range missile launch pads in Venezuela.

Yes, the same Iran that prior to 2005 traded nothing with Hugo Chavez but which has since increased its trade with the socialist nut job to the tune of 40 billion.  There is good reason to speculate that this has or will include nuclear technology.  His goal being to expand control in the region by intimidating neighbors, I’m sorry–by offering mob style "protection" from the evil Americans.

So we’d have an America hating socialist nut job with intermediate range Iranian missiles and a working relationship with a country (Iran) that the current administration has suggested is going to get nuclear weapons anyway?  Venezuela is already suspected of having Hezbollah training camps in its jungles.  The Iranian Military is hanging with the Chavez.  This presents no risk?  Or maybe the economy isn’t the only thing Obama plans to screw up while in office?

Note to the White House.  Israel will not be bombing our problems away in Venezuela.  And I’m certain they have no expectation that we’ll back them up with anything other than wordy statements when they do what has to be done to survive. So don;t count on them to help you out here.

So the next question; can :Obama the bold, courageous, and decisive" actually be any of those things when it comes to the Missiles of Venezuela?  Can the guy who accepts books from the same dictator who is prepared to represent a significant risk to American interests in the hemisphere–including interests in America, step up and take them out before they are operational?  Or does the major troublemaker and regional king maker in Venezuela have a right to intermediate range weapons capable of carrying nuclear warheads, and the ongoing training and assistance of Iran’s Qods force?

Can I Get You Some Vote Fraud With That Today?

Dan McGuire got an earful from William Gardner, the New Hampshire Secretary of State, just the other day.  According to Bill the Obama government has been pushing hard against the states.  The Bureaucracy is trying to tell everyone how to run their voting operations.  Why should we be surprised by that? And it looks like … Read more

Bomb-Bomb-Bomb…Bomb-Bomb IRAN

“The Saudis have given their permission for the Israelis to pass over and they will look the other way,” said a US defence source in the area. “They have already done tests to make sure their own jets aren’t scrambled and no one gets shot down. This has all been done with the agreement of the [US] State Department.”
