War has always been one of the cabal’s biggest money makers, and it made Al Waleed bin Talal Al Saud one of the wealthiest men in the world, if not the wealthiest.
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’.
