The Secret Backstory Of How Obama Let Hezbollah Off The Hook

[edpc]

In its determination to secure a nuclear deal with Iran, the Obama administration derailed an ambitious law enforcement campaign targeting drug trafficking by the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah, even as it was funneling cocaine into the United States, according to a POLITICO investigation.

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.

“There is certainly the elements of Hezbollah that are truly a concern to us what they’re doing,” Brennan said. “And what we need to do is to find ways to diminish their influence within the organization and to try to build up the more moderate elements.”


Moderate elements in Hezbollah? 


No.


All in the name of getting a deal with Iran that gives us nothing.


Disgraceful.


A long read, but detailed and worthwhile.

This is what happens when we elect an Iranian agent as president!

Barak = Blessed in Arabic
Hussein = Relative of Muhammed, commonly known as King, or Ruler, in Arabic
Obama = a tribal name in Kenya.


There is no Christian on Earth named Hussein. There is not now, and there never has been.


Not only is Hussein obviously Muslim, more than that, he is a radical Muslim who supported the Muslim Brotherhood and other terrorist groups.


Even today, Obama cannot travel to the Middle East anywhere. They don't want anything to do with him. They consider him to be a terrorist, or at the least a terrorist supporter.

[edpc]

At least he was consistent........



Caught between military dictatorship and Muslim Brotherhood rule, Egyptians face a choice between bad and worse. Through its rhetoric and aid policy, Obama administration has consistently favored the worst of the bad lot.

Today, Thursday, July 3, marks the one-year anniversary of Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Mohamed Morsi’s ouster from the presidency by the Egyptian military in the wake of massive protests. Morsi’s successor, former defense minister Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, was sworn in as president this past June 8.

LOL. That would mean that he knew what he was doing. I'm convinced he is generally too stupid to know what he was doing and just let the rest of the rabble in the WH compound do whatever silly thing they wanted.

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.

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.

Obama was a real traitor to this nation.  He was determined to destroy America by any means necessary, including giving aid and comfort to this country's enemies.  He did so because he had a chip on his shoulder against white people -- the same people who raised him, gave him an education and basically carried him all his miserable life.  Not that he loved black people any better.  He pretended to love them and look out for their best interests, but he scrupulously avoided any association with ordinary black people -- unless he was campaigning.  He was supposed to unite the races, but he drove them apart.  And thanks to him, black people (and all of us) are worse off in 8 years of his rule than ever before.  We have become impoverished, but worse -- we are now in constant danger from our enemies, not only from the Middle East and North Korea, but also from the illegals he allowed into this country indiscriminately. 

In a sane world, Obama would be in prison -- for treason, for lying, for plundering the treasury to finance his luxurious lifestyle and a whole lot more.  But it will never happen.  I can only hope that when the time comes, God will judge him appropriately.

Obama Allowed Cocaine to Flow into the U.S. to Get His Iran Deal

The Obama administration blew up an investigation into drug trafficking by Hezbollah into the United States for fear of displeasing Iran, with which President Obama was seeking to strike a nuclear deal, according to a bombshell new report by Politico.

Obama went to great lengths to appease Iran, including letting the 2009 Green Revolution against the Mullahs fail, all in order to secure an agreement that merely delays Iran from completing its nuclear weapons program by a few years.   ...  More at White House Dossier

AND: 

The story sounds like the script of a big-screen blockbuster. The plot mixes terrorists, a major bank, and an international drug ring, and features an unexpected cameo by used car dealers. But U.S. authorities say the global conspiracy they've discovered is no movie, and that the all-too-real scheme helped fund Hezbollah.

The DEA and the Treasury Department announced Thursday that under provisions of the Patriot Act, the U.S. is barring American financial institutions from doing business with the Lebanese Canadian Bank (LCB). Treasury officials allege that the bank has been laundering narcotics proceeds -- as much as $200 million per month-- on behalf of an international drug ring run by a Lebanese trafficker named Ayman Joumaa. According to officials, a big slice of the drug profits were then funneled back to Hezbollah in Lebanon by Joumaa and nine coconspirators through an African affiliate of LCB.

Where do the used car dealers come in? They allegedly helped launder the money. ...

Lord, how I'd like that smug SOB to finally get what he deserves - a 10x10 concrete box with a commode.

Whether he knew or not, as president, he is still responsible and should be in the slammer. 

Personally, I think he did know, but like a good community organizer, he delegated many of the tasks aimed at destroying this country, so (a) he would continue to do as little actual work as possible, and (b) he could always claim he didn't know what was going on.

Hillary would have been a continuation of the same thing or worse. She and Bill, had already enriched themselves of about $200 million, by "monetizing" US government policies and influence.

I fully believe Obama planned on (and is probably is) doing the same thing. That explains his foreign trips to date in his post presidential timeframe.

Hillary and her team, were so certain of victory they commissioned the Steele Dossier, probably using the same type of international resources and practices they use for corrupt purposes.

I predict little interest in this subject here, since it completely lacks any #nevertrump angle.

BTW Mueller was FBI director during much of the timeframe in question re. Hezbollah.

Mark Levin was all over this, and a guy came on the show stating the Politico article was accurate.
