Patriot,
President
Obama’s deal with the Iranians releases $4.2 billion in frozen assets
and $7 billion over six months. That money will go a long way toward
advancing radical Islam in the world and funding state-sponsored
terrorism.
In
brokering the agreement, neither President Barack Obama nor Secretary
of State John Kerry placed any safeguards against the released Iranian
money’s use to fund terrorism against the U.S., our troops, or Israeli
interests.
Please see my urgent update and new call for congressional intervention below – Mat.
Barack Obama and John Kerry have been duped by Iran, exactly as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserts.
It’s
a classic tactic of diversion. While the world watches Iran’s nuclear
program, there is a strong likelihood that a great deal of money will be
flowing out of Iran throughout the Middle East and other regions to
fund terrorist cells.
President
Obama brokered the “interim deal” with Iran that will theoretically
stop and/or diminish Iran’s nuclear program. In return, they are
getting $7 billion dollars over six months if they hold to the
agreement.
++Iran is the world’s most active sponsor of terrorism.
President
George W. Bush labeled Iran as part of the “axis of evil” because of
their funding of terrorist organizations and radical Islamic groups,
which fought against U.S. efforts to bring stability to the Middle
East.
In
2011, under President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton, the U.S. State Department declared Iran to be the world's “most
active state sponsor of terrorism.”
In that 2011 assessment, the State Department reported…
“Iran
remains the most active state sponsor of terrorism. Its Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Ministry of Intelligence and
Security (MOIS) were directly involved in the planning and support of
terrorist acts and continued to exhort a variety of groups, especially
Palestinian groups with leadership cadres in Syria and Lebanese
Hizballah, to use terrorism in pursuit of their goals.
In
addition, the IRGC was increasingly involved in supplying lethal
assistance to Iraqi militant groups, which destabilizes Iraq.
Iran
maintained a high-profile role in encouraging anti-Israeli terrorist
activity – theoretically, operationally, and financially.”
There
can be no doubt why Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has derided the
Obama agreement with Iran. Mr. Netanyahu declared that Israel is not
bound by the agreement – and will defend itself, if necessary.
He
has called it, “A bad deal, a very, very, bad deal. It’s the deal of a
century for Iran; it’s a very dangerous and bad deal for peace and the
international community.”
++Is the Obama administration delusional?
The
White House is staying quiet on the issue of the money potentially
being used to fund terrorism. According to a report in the Washington Free Beacon,
“When
asked last week ‘what safeguards will be in place to make sure that
money is not funneled to terror groups by Iran,’ White House Press
Secretary Jay Carney declined to answer.
Congressional
insiders say that the White House dropped the ball by not mandating
oversight of the unfrozen funds. ‘It’s really unconscionable to think
America is now funding both sides of the war on terror,’ said one senior
congressional aide working on sanctions.”
Meanwhile,
President Obama has used every means possible to circumvent Congress
and keep our elected representatives’ hands out of the administration’s
“deal” with Iran.
It’s no wonder why: The President knows the deal will not stand up to congressional and international scrutiny.
++This is an extremely important call for congressional intervention.
Spearheading
a bipartisan congressional effort, Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and
Senator Mark Kirk (R-Ill), have introduced a proposal in the Senate to
impose a new round of sanctions that would be applied if Iran defaults
on the agreement. The measure has 59 bipartisan supporters.
Of
course, President Obama opposes such a Senate initiative. Placating the
President, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says he will not allow the
bill to come up for a vote.
Reid’s decision is an arrogant dismissal of our legislators and the American people!
We
are calling on Harry Reid to allow a vote on the measure – and the
Senate to pass the Iran Sanctions Bill. We are demanding transparency
from the Obama White House concerning the Iranian deal to ensure that
our national security and that of Israel is not further jeopardized!
We cannot allow the Obama administration and Senator Harry Reid to
circumvent Congress, the American people, and our Israeli allies!
I
am calling on you to get an immediate message to your senators,
the Senate leadership, and members of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee to pass the Iran Sanctions Bill.
++American soldiers are in harm’s way.
As one congressional source told The Beacon,
“Can
you imagine being an American solider fighting in Afghanistan learning
the Iranian IED that just killed their friend was funded by U.S.
sanctions relief? This is the height of policy incompetence.
Secretary
of State John Kerry has admitted that he does not know how Iran will
spend its newfound cash. ‘My prayer is that no solider will be killed as
a consequence of anything Iran chooses to do,’ Kerry told the House
Foreign Affairs Committee last year when asked if he could guarantee the
money would not go to fund terror.”
Congress
cannot exercise oversight of the unfrozen funds since it has not been
given a say in the Iran deal – unless the Iran Sanctions Bill is passed.
Passage
of this bill is an important step toward holding the Obama
administration accountable and exposing the potential failures of the
agreement – both for us and for Israel.

P.S.
The rogue actions of the Obama administration leave America’s patriots
with only one option – to strongly speak out against the actions of our
Executive Branch.
If
this Iran deal is for the good of our nation, the Middle East, and the
world, why is it shrouded in secrecy by the Obama administration?
If
this deal is “an important first step,” as President Obama contends,
why is the White House circumventing the United States Congress and
keeping the agreement locked in a room available only to those with top
secret clearance?
