Barry Hussein's Malfeasance--treason?

Dear Friends,
    Wow!  What a difference there will be/ can be, with some 'new' perspective put into place and now made available to the American public, etc!   Lesser men, as I view myself can only marvel and pass this stuff on.  But let me come back to this main subject-- concerning the expose of Barry Hussein's Malfeasance-- treason?  -- in a minute, please.

My wife and I ventured into the unknown early this morning, driving to a small, 'flyspeck', place on the map, invited to a different place of worship/ Christian church on this cold, "crisp" Winter's day, 1-12-20.   You can take a modest, simple, building in the middle of nowhere and transform it into a mecca of love and learning, dear friends!  That was the scene at the Grace Presbyterian Church, in Sagola, MI.  Website:  gracessagola.com    ---It just goes to reinforce, again, that looks are not necessary for success, happiness, Christian love, and spiritual food and help.  IMHO [in my humble opinion] Grace Church has fine leadership but the 'rank and file' all seem to have a good shot of the "Spirit" so as to make it all work like a well-oiled piece of machinery... and most everyone is conditioned with a sense of goodwill, understanding of the Word of  God -- as Soldiers of Christ, ready to pick up the load and do well.  I have never noticed a more positive feeling from my wife, Lori, than today after church, driving home, and from what I can see at this early stage, we would like to get further involved.   

Back to the main thrust of today's post, if all of the documentation of the author is true, obama is certainly guilty of Treason!  Soldiers are killed in battle all the time, but I remember that time when there was so much 'smokescreen' and obscurity with obama's signed agreement and policy that was intentionally hidden from the public eye that it was just crazy and absurd.  The obama administration must have figured that the average American was just plain STUPID and would forget everything in a few days when they forged their 'dog-crap' agreement with Iran years ago, but obama was caught red-handed when they flew in planeloads of CASH to Iran!  It was like the "Obama-Care Health Plan", when Crazy congresswoman Nancy Pelozi said that, "We have to pass it to know what's IN IT!!" And then the hard reality was that it was all 'smoke and mirrors --jibberish.' Duh... is that the way we were educated to conduct our regular business in real life, dear friends??   Shake your head, "NO."  What were the Democrats thinking?  And so many people I talked to were hurt by that 'piece of stupidity!'    Sure, for the poor people who had nothing to start with -- they were happy to finally have SOMETHING for free.  But many lost their coverage in the process.  Just remember, when something is hidden --- all sorts of red lights should go off in our minds. 

Warm Regards,
Tom Schuckman

[Stunning exposé of Barry Hussein's malfeasance..........treason? Yes, I think so.]
'The White House’s so-called nuclear talks with Iran over the last 18 months were never about Iran’s nuclear weapons program.  The negotiations were about something else entirely—they were about what Obama has described as a new geopolitical equilibrium, which would stabilize the Middle East and allow the administration to further minimize its role in the region. The way Obama described it publicly, this new security architecture was going to balance Iran against traditional American allies, like Saudi Arabia............. it soon became apparent that the White House wasn’t really balancing at all, but had rather chosen one team over the others, Iran. Obama made his preference for Iran and its allies clear—in Lebanon, Syria, and most obviously in Iraq where the White House ordered air strikes on ISIS positions that allowed various Iranian-backed outfits, under the leadership of Qassem Suleimani, to take Tikrit.
 
Obama likes Suleimani, and admires his work. As the president reportedly told a group of Arab officials in May, the Arabs “need to learn from Iran’s example.”

In fact, they need to take a page out of the playbook of the Qods Force. The way Obama sees it, the Quds Force can be the administration’s boots on the ground. The deal is with the hard men of the regime, the extremists—the deal is with Qassem Suleimani.

The point of course is that Obama is counting on Iran to play bigger role in the Middle East, which is why the White House also agreed to drop the U.N. arms embargo.

The administration argues that Tehran will spend most of the money from sanctions relief on rescuing the economy, or fixing street lamps and potholes, and not so much on terrorism and other foreign adventures. But there can be no similar argument about buying and selling and smuggling arms since ending the embargo can only help the hardliners. Combining the two—tens of billions of dollars in immediate sanctions relief and an end to the embargo—is like loading a gun and handing it over to Qassem Suleimani. And that’s precisely what Obama intended: The way he sees it, he’s arming an American ally.'
 
 
 
Obama Strikes a Deal--With Qassem Suleimani
Lee Smith, Hudson.org - [Originally posted on the now defunct Weekly Standard]
 
According to the terms of the Iran deal announced in Vienna on Tuesday, U.N. Security Council sanctions regarding nuclear-related issues will be lifted on a number of entities and individuals—from Iranian banks to Lebanese assassins, like Anis Nacacche. The name that most sticks out is IRGC-Quds Force commander Qassem Suleimani. Administration officials counsel calm, and explain that Suleimani is still on the U.S. terror list and will remain on the terror list. But that’s irrelevant. The reality is that Suleimani is the key to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

The White House’s so-called nuclear talks with Iran over the last 18 months were never about Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Like everyone else in the Middle East, the Iranians understood that when Obama failed to strike Syrian president Bashar al-Assad in September 2013 for crossing his redline against the use of chemical weapons, there was no way the president would ever order military action against Iranian nuclear facilities. When Obama took that option off the table, he signaled to Iran that he wasn’t going to stop them because he thought there was no way to do so. When he leaked information about the Stuxnet worm, he suggested that he could help with Israel, too.

The negotiations were about something else entirely—they were about what Obama has described as a new geopolitical equilibrium, which would stabilize the Middle East and allow the administration to further minimize its role in the region. The way Obama described it publicly, this new security architecture was going to balance Iran against traditional American allies, like Saudi Arabia. However, it soon became apparent that the White House wasn’t really balancing at all, but had rather chosen one team over the others, Iran. Obama made his preference for Iran and its allies clear—in Lebanon, Syria, and most obviously in Iraq where the White House ordered air strikes on ISIS positions that allowed various Iranian-backed outfits, under the leadership of Qassem Suleimani, to take Tikrit.

Obama likes Suleimani, and admires his work. As the president reportedly told a group of Arab officials in May, the Arabs “need to learn from Iran’s example.”

In fact, they need to take a page out of the playbook of the Qods Force — by which [Obama] meant developing their own local proxies capable of going toe-to-toe with Iran’s agents and defeating them. The president seemed to marvel at the fact that from Hezbollah to the Houthis to the Iraqi militias, Iran has such a deep bench of effective proxies willing to advance its interests. Where, he asked, are their equivalent on the Sunni side? Why, he wanted to know in particular, have the Saudis and their partners not been able to cultivate enough Yemenis to carry the burden of the fight against the Houthis? The Arabs, Obama suggested, badly need to develop a toolbox that goes beyond the brute force of direct intervention. Instead, they need to, be subtler, sneakier, more effective — well, just more like Iran.

And it’s largely because the Arabs haven’t assembled their own version of IRGC-QF, and instead rely primarily on the United States for their security, that Obama thinks the Iranians are a much better bet. From Obama’s perspective, the Sunnis aren’t going to stop ISIS—in fact, they helped create it. However, the Iranians can do it, and plenty of other things as well. They can make sure Iraq stays stable—or the administration hopes Iran will play that role because it has no other options. Same, the White House thinks, with Syria, where Iran can manage the inevitable transition, after Assad steps aside, thanks to the Iranians, or is killed. The way Obama sees it, the Quds Force can be the administration’s boots on the ground.

So-called Iranian moderates like Javad Zarif may have negotiated the deal, but the real agreement is not with the regime’s so-called moderates. In fact, Obama doesn’t really care if the JCPOA forces a sort of Persian perestroika and brings moderates to the fore. Sure, “ideally, we would see a situation in which Iran, seeing sanctions reduced, would start focusing on its economy, on training its people, on reentering the world community, to lessening its provocative activities in the region,” as Obama told NPR in the spring. “But if it doesn’t change, we are so much better if we have this deal in place than if we don’t.”

The deal is with the hard men of the regime, the extremists—the deal is with Qassem Suleimani.

It’s not the moderates who control the nuclear file, but the IRGC. Accordingly, insofar as the United States and other world powers will have an interest in ensuring that the nuclear weapons program is not subject to turmoil should internal divisions in the regime turn dangerously nasty, the administration and other signatories to the deal now have a stake in ensuring the stability of the hardliners.

The White House is hardly shy about signaling the nature of its relationship with the regime, even if it’s lost on some regional actors. “If sanctions are lifted,” a Saudi diplomat said, “Iran will try even harder to redesign the region. Iran may see this as acceptance from America to play a bigger role.” The point of course is that Obama is counting on Iran to play bigger role in the Middle East, which is why the White House also agreed to drop the U.N. arms embargo.

The administration argues that Tehran will spend most of the money from sanctions relief on rescuing the economy, or fixing street lamps and potholes, and not so much on terrorism and other foreign adventures. But there can be no similar argument about buying and selling and smuggling arms since ending the embargo can only help the hardliners. Combining the two—tens of billions of dollars in immediate sanctions relief and an end to the embargo—is like loading a gun and handing it over to Qassem Suleimani. And that’s precisely what Obama intended: The way he sees it, he’s arming an American ally.
