Obama screwed the DEA, favored Hezbollah, to keep Iran deal

Ah, I love it when the bodies of my enemy float serenely by on the river as I sit on its bank, have a leisurely lunch, and admire the view. Pass the potato water.

Schadenfreude.

All of the years of Obama’s nefarious, biased, corrupt, America-hating policies are and will be exposed, one amoral, venal and shocking incident at a time. It is the tip of the proverbial Obama Iceberg. There is oh-so-much-more-buttery Obama corruption yet to be revealed. Bank on it.

First, from Breitbart.com:

Report: Obama ‘Derailed’ DEA Probe into Hezbollah in Latin America to Save Iran Deal

by Edwin Mora

Former U.S. President Barack Obama’s administration “derailed” a DEA operation targeting Hezbollah’s multi-million-dollar drug trafficking activities in Latin America to secure approval of the controversial Iran nuclear deal, reports Politico.

Iran’s narco-terrorist proxy Hezbollah is involved in a plethora of criminal activities in Latin America, ranging from money laundering to massive drug trafficking.

Wait. What?

For years, the U.S. military has been sounding the alarm on the threat against the United States posed by the presence of Iran and Hezbollah in America’s backyard — Latin America.

What do Neil Cavuto and Peter Brooks have to say?

Let’s go to the direct source. From Politico.com:

The secret backstory of how Obama let Hezbollah off the hook

by Josh Meyer

An ambitious U.S. task force targeting Hezbollah’s billion-dollar criminal enterprise ran headlong into the White House’s desire for a nuclear deal with Iran.

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.

So, wait. Did Americans perchance expire but upon drug overdoses that Mr Obama could have stemmed had he been motivated to do so? Likely deaths and overdoses in the minority communities most seriously impacted by drugs?

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.

Hezbollah dealing drugs in Mexico and shipping said product into the US? And anyone would possibly want to stop our fight against this because.  .  . ?

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.

Sounds like a serious, detailed and extensive, expensive op to me.

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.

Doing their job. Their DEA job. The job they trained for at Quantico, along with the FBI — the only two federal agencies that train at Quantico.

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. When Project Cassandra leaders sought approval for some significant investigations, prosecutions, arrests and financial sanctions, officials at the Justice and Treasury departments delayed, hindered or rejected their requests.

Thank God. For a moment.there I was afraid real transparency and justice might have emerged during the Obama administration.

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.

After all, national security clearly took a back seat to Obama’s “legacy” and how he was to be perceived by the public.

You doubt that? Read this:

“This was a policy decision, it was a systematic decision,” said David AsherDavid AsherVeteran U.S. illicit finance expert sent from Pentagon to Project Cassandra to attack the alleged Hezbollah criminal enterprise., who helped establish and oversee Project Cassandra as a Defense Department illicit finance analyst. “They serially ripped apart this entire effort that was very well supported and resourced, and it was done from the top down.”

Let’s be serious. Hezbollah isn’t really that dangerous anyway. Right?

A confidential DEA assessment from that period concluded that Hezbollah’s business affairs entity “has leveraged relationships with corrupt foreign government officials and transnational criminal actors … creating a network that can be utilized to move metric ton quantities of cocaine, launder drug proceeds on a global scale, and procure weapons and precursors for explosives.”

Some top U.S. military officials shared those concerns, including the four-star generals heading U.S. Special Operations and Southern commands, who warned Congress that Hezbollah’s criminal operations and growing beachhead in Latin America posed an urgent threat to U.S. security, according to transcripts of the hearings.

National security vs Obama’s agenda of “looking cool”? I know which of those wins, hands down. Check this out:

“The FBI and other parts of the USG [U.S. government] provide a little or no assistance during our investigations,” (DEA Agent John) Kelly wrote in an email. “The USG lack of action on this issue has allowed [Hezbollah] to become one of the biggest transnational organized crime groups in the world.”

Then:

As a result, “We were making concessions (to Iran) that had never been made before, which is outrageous to anyone in the agency,” the former intelligence officer said, adding that the orders from Washington especially infuriated CIA officers in the field who knew that Hezbollah “was still doing assassinations and other terrorist activities.”

As expected, the administration’s final report, which remains classified, significantly downplayed Hezbollah’s operational links to drug trafficking, which in turn further marginalized the DEA’s role in fighting it, according to a former Justice Department official and others familiar with the report.

Once the Obama administration left office, in January 2017, the logjam of task force cases appeared to break, and several task force members said it wasn’t a coincidence.

And that is how your loving Barack Hussein Obama ran the US government. It, as ever, was only about one thing: Obama himself.

Turf battles, especially the institutional conflict between law enforcement and intelligence agencies, contributed to the demise of Project Cassandra, Maltz said. But many Project Cassandra agents insist the main reason was a political choice to prioritize the Iranian nuclear agreement over efforts to crack down on Hezbollah.

There will be more revelations about what actually occurred during the Obama regime. This is just the tip of the Obama Iceberg.

As low as DOJ can go?

Hallway PoopJust as EPA employees were informed to stop shitting in the hallway (and no, I’m not kidding — see this link), DOJ employees are now informed they should not engage the services of prostitutes.  Apparently yes, we’re looking at you, DEA agents.

From Politico.com:

Eric Holder’s Friday memo to DOJ staff: Don’t hire prostitutes

by Adam Lerner

In a letter released to all department staff on Friday, Holder wrote that he “want[ed] to reiterate to all Department personnel, including attorneys and law enforcement officers, that they are prohibited from soliciting, procuring, or accepting commercial sex.”

We now need memos to tell federal employees not to hire prostitutes.

And again, a friendly reminder: don’t shit in the hallway.

Have a great weekend, federal employees.

Demorats say: this is “an election about nothing” — when instead it’s an election about EVERYTHING

[Transparency, no more secrecy. Just the beginning of the lies. Ask our AMM journalists about Mr Obama’s transparency and that of the Spite House.]

The Demorats do in fact say this midterm is “an election about nothing.”

There is nothing more insulting and arrogant than that phrase.

I’d say this election is, oh yes, about everything.  Everything “progressive” and Leftist and Democrat-oriented in nature.

Dan Balz says:

Today, Obama looks more like Bush of 2006, when Democrats took back the House: The numbers for Obama are almost identical overall, and the breakdowns by party are as well.

Demorats insist all is well; Obama is in power, the federal government needs to take care of you, you poor ignorant and unwashed masses. All is well, the economy has never been stronger, our social structure has never been more tolerant and forgiving, we are more adored and respected internationally than ever, because we support our friends and eschew our enemies.

Pay no attention to Benghazi, to Fast and Furious, to the IRS, to the NSA, to the CIA, to the cultural crafting and sculpting of our nation, and abuse of our military and our veterans.  Pay no attention to the actions of Hillary Clinton, Pelosi, Napolitano, Blum, Lerner.

Pay no attention to the IRS auditing of Dr Ben Carson and various TEA Party organizations.  The lies of John Koskines and Lois Lerner.

Pay no attention to the devastating impact of ObamaKare and the fact that Mr Obama nakedly LIED about its affects on your own doctor and your health:

But that was only one of many lies from Mr Obama and his minions.  We have CIA Director John Brennan who LIED time and again — but who only became an issue when the CIA began tapping the computers of DC politicians:  Things were bad only when their ox was gored.

Pay no attention to the initial LIES of Hillary Clinton involving the assault on the Benghazi consulate — being the result of a lame video created by a federal parolee — that in fact had NO bearing on the killing of four United States citizens.  Pay no attention to the callous and arrogant disregard that Hillary Clinton had for said killings:

Pay no attention to the US Debt Clock, and the fact that Mr Obama has racked up more debt than all prior presidents combined, to the tune of $17,906,300,000,000.  With a population of 320 million persons, that puts each individual’s unfunded liability at $385,579.49 — for a few minutes.  Then it goes up again.

Pay no attention to the fact the Mr Obama was responsible for “Cash for Clunkers” which failed (costing much more than it purported to save), millions to Solyndra (which failed), millions to so-called “green energy” which failed.  Pay no attention to the fact that Mr Obama himself decided which automakers would succeed or fail, was responsible for the untold number of car dealerships closing and the laying-off of employees who worked (past tense) there.

People forget that Obama sent actual armed agents to raid the factory of Gibson Guitars, because of limp-wristed and specious allegations about the wood they were using in their instruments.  Obama’s NLRB didn’t want Boeing to open a factory in South Carolina because it was a “right to work” state and didn’t mandate employees to be unionized, so they refused to allow Boeing to move.  The UAW made off like — literally — bandits when Obama rigged the bankruptcy hearings of Chrysler and GM when bondholders and creditors were kicked aside.  Ford, you recall, didn’t take government bailout cash.

The BP oil spill occurred because EPA and environmental regulations mandate that drilling rigs be located so far from our shores; the further from shore, the deeper the drilling and the more unstable and difficult the drilling and the platform.  Don’t forget, Obama sent millions of dollars to Brazil in order for them to drill off their shores.  Drill of our own shores, closer? No way.

Let’s continue to talk about oil.  Mr Obama clearly embraces Blood Oil and Conflict Oil, just as he eschews Conflict Diamonds or Blood Diamonds.  No matter that untold persons are killed in the Middle East because of the issue of oil.  We could be well on our way to energy independence in an agreement with Canada involving the Keystone XL pipeline but, no, Mr Obama prefers to limit our own drilling and fracking so that we are dependent on external oil sources.  This makes no sense whatsoever.

Obama Media LapdogAll during this time, however, according to the American Media Maggot lapdogs, Mr Obama can do little if anything wrong.  The AMM continue to wear their Official Obaka Blinders gift set.

Mr Obama has set some remarkable precedent by writing a host of Executive Orders that purposely have bypassed the US Congress because he perceives they are not lining up appropriately for his wishes.  His has become an Imperial Presidency that minds not ruling by fiat.

Obama Imperial Congress Won't ActIn that vein, His Imperial Highness has deigned that illegal immigrants will be granted roughly blanket amnesty, moving this country from a “nation of laws” into the “nation of the lawless” category.  Numerous border Sheriffs and Chiefs have said that, if amnesty is granted, the floodgates will be opened and there will be no turning off the spigot.

My department, one week ago, was impacted directly by our porous borders, when an illegal Mexican working for the Sinaloa Cartel killed Deputy Danny Oliver and, a short time later, Placer County Detective Michael Davis.

Pay no attention to the thousands and thousands of illegal immigrant South American children imported into this country carrying diseases that — oh no! — brought disease to our own children, to include the enterovirus, according to the CDC.  Thank you kindly, Mr Obama, for ensuring our borders continue to be porous.  We need more Mexican criminals and imported diseases we haven’t seen for years.

Let us not forget Mr Obama’s smooth tactical move in releasing five Guantanamo terrorist leaders in exchange for the absconding traitor Bowe Bergdahl.  Brilliant, that.

The VA absolutely fell apart under Mr Obama, resulting in the forced resignation of General John Shinseki.  Nicely monitored, sir; you continue to show you couldn’t care less about our military personnel on duty, and their care after service.

Let’s not forget about the truthful, honest and humble Kathleen Sebelius, whose selling of ObakaKare was in conflict with her simultaneously tasked with enforcing it.  An abomination of arrogance and incompetency.  Goodbye, bitch.  Write when you find work.

At this point, do we begin to see some running memes yet, to include rampant arrogance, incompetence, unchecked conceit, unbridled egos, and the NPDNarcissist Personality Disorder — of Barack Hussein Obama?

Who listened to the private phone calls of Fox News reporter James Rosen under Obama?  Some Republican?

The EPA under Director Lisa Jackson harassed businesses.  Anyone remember or care?

Let us not forget: most everything done under Obama simply fails.  Despite Mr Obama being in control of the Spite House Bully Pulpit, the American Media Maggots and the US Senate.  How is this possible?

Let us not forget: Mr Obama believed that the Fort Hood Shooting was nothing more than an itty-bitty bit of occasional workplace violence.  “Allahu Akhbar” just doesn’t factor, as exclaimed by Nidal.  Likewise the Oklahoma beheading of a female employee by an Islamist trying to convert fellow employees is simply another untidy bit of workplace violence.  Vaughn, CEO of the business, according to Obama, was out-of-order in shooting at the Muslim.  Clearly, Vaughn was a Religionist and hates Muslims.

Healthcare.gov?  The million-dollar website that never worked?  Fabulous, that.

Let’s not forget Obama’s sotto voce to Russia’s Medvedev:

Further, “you didn’t build that.”

At least Hillary Clinton is in keeping with Barack Hussein Obama.  Businesses and corporations don’t create jobs.

Lets examine, photographically, some of the other so-called “highlights” of Demorat control these past years under Mr Obama.  Be warned: the truth isn’t pretty.

US Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Benghazi, LibyaChristopher Stevens.

Illegal InvadersGrateful Mexicans.

Mex Cartels 2What Mr Obama wants to actively import into the United States: Mexican Cartel activity.

Muslim Nurse in the UKAnd, of course, women in full BeeKeeper costumes.

Yes, this election isn’t about nothing.  It’s about everything.

Mr Obama recently said of these elections: “Now, I am not on the ballot this fall . . . but make no mistake, these policies are on the ballot — every single one of them.”

And in this case, he is precisely correct.

Get out, vote, and make that precisely so.

FBI pressures Internet providers to install surveillance software

Obama Destroying US ConstitutionFrom CNet.com:

CNET has learned the FBI has developed custom “port reader” software to intercept Internet metadata in real time. And, in some cases, it wants to force Internet providers to use the software.

The U.S. government is quietly pressuring telecommunications providers to install eavesdropping technology deep inside companies’ internal networks to facilitate surveillance efforts.

FBI officials have been sparring with carriers, a process that has on occasion included threats of contempt of court, in a bid to deploy government-provided software capable of intercepting and analyzing entire communications streams. The FBI’s legal position during these discussions is that the software’s real-time interception of metadata is authorized under the Patriot Act.

Attempts by the FBI to install what it internally refers to as “port reader” software, which have not been previously disclosed, were described to CNET in interviews over the last few weeks. One former government official said the software used to be known internally as the “harvesting program.”

Carriers are “extra-cautious” and are resisting installation of the FBI’s port reader software, an industry participant in the discussions said, in part because of the privacy and security risks of unknown surveillance technology operating on an sensitive internal network.

It’s “an interception device by definition,” said the industry participant, who spoke on condition of anonymity because court proceedings are sealed. “If magistrates knew more, they would approve less.” It’s unclear whether any carriers have installed port readers, and at least one is actively opposing the installation.

Use your heads, Americans.  Any source of privacy you thought you had is, essentially, gone forever — because you cannot put that genie back in the bottle.

Your cellular phone calls are monitored and stored.  Your e-mails are monitored and stored.  Your terrestrial calls are monitored and stored.  Your movements are tracked and traced via OnStar, Sirius and other subscriptive elements in your vehicle.  Newer vehicles have “black boxes” similar to those of aircraft (though not yet quite as sophisticated).  Insurance companies want you to have a device similar to that of Progressive’s Snapshot installed in your car; now it’s voluntary.  Soon it will be mandatory.

You are captured, thousands of times daily, on video and cameras if you live in an urban or suburban territory.  Bank on it.  In Russia, most vehicles themselves have dashcams.  Police agencies have LPR and face recognition systems — I know that because — obviously, to those who read me — I’m a cop.

Every store, every theater, every retail outlet wants you to subscribe to and utilize “their own cards,” so that they can sift you and sort you for your information, then direct-sell you.  Every keystroke on your computer can be logged, your phone can be made to listen to you and the RFID chip in your credit card can be stolen.

The more you embrace the digital world, the less privacy you have.  Plain and simple.  It’s why Russian intelligence agencies are going back to manual typewriters.  I hope you don’t think that’s something I made up; it is not.

Disarm Americans, remove their freedoms — and in some cases sell those freedoms back to them — then disable the rest of their tawdry and outdated little niggling Bill of Rights.  There’s your Utopian Leftist/Demorat Master Plan.  Think: Cloward-Piven.

Some day, this is all going to explode.

This nation is on the cusp of losing itself and its Bill of Rights forever.

And when that explosion comes — well, it won’t be pretty.
