Fwd: Fw: BREAKING: Barack Obama Implicated -Cover-Up - Obama's Disturbing Past

Despite Obama’s chief of staff’s claim that his administration had been “historically free of scandal,” former President Barack Obama has been implicated in several scandals lately, and they’re by no means the first or the last. Little by little, the presidency many felt was characterized by incompetence is being revealed as something more willful – and even sinister.
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) released more documents this week from the trove seized from Osama bin Laden. The new documents show that Obama and his administration purposely released only certain documents meant to support the narrative that the U.S. had mostly won the War on Terror – and left out reports showing the close relationship between Iran’s government and al Qaeda, as they pushed for the Iran nuclear deal.
The Obama White House had this information for nearly five years before negotiating the nuclear deal — talks in which it refused to address Iran’s continuing sponsorship of terror even as it agreed to provide it with more than $100 billion in sanctions relief and hostage ransom payments.
Politics as Usual
While Iran and al Qaeda were known to be at least peripheral operational partners as far back as the 9/11 Commission, no one but Obama and his CIA directors seemed to know the full extent of Iran’s cooperation with the terrorist organization. The administration apparently wanted it that way; as the truth might have impeded the forging of new agreements with Iran.
A new 19-page document, found within the nearly half-million files released and reportedly authored by an al-Qaeda member, outlines an agreement between Iran and the terror group to attack American interests in both Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf. As payment for these requested attacks, Iran was offering militants money, guns, and training at Hezbollah camps in Lebanon.
The new documents show links and cooperation between the major players in the Middle Eastern terror world regardless of the historical Sunni/Shia ideological divide.
What’s more, the document’s exclusion from the initial files released by Obama after bin Laden’s death in 2011 implies that the administration feared that public knowledge of the close working relationship between Iran and al-Qaeda would tank the president’s deal with Iran on nuclear proliferation.
Obama Lied, Terror Was Supported
The Obama administration dismissed questions as recently as 2016 about Iran and al-Qaeda. One official told the Weekly Standard that “anyone who thinks Iran was or is in bed with al-Qaeda doesn’t know much about either.”
The new revelations show that the American people didn’t know much because the Obama administration was hiding the information; the president himself and the four CIA directors — Leon Panetta, David Petraeus, John Brennan, and Mike Morell — knew, but never allowed the information to come out.
President Donald Trump has called the Iran deal the “worst deal ever made,” and has vowed to end it.
BREAKING: Obama Caught in Massive Cover-Up
Lies, distortions, and manipulation

The release of Osama bin Laden’s papers, letters, and documents to the public this week provide more than just a fascinating look into the mind of the terrorist — they also revealed startling information that former President Barack Obama wanted withheld from the public. During the closing days of the Obama administration, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper released several dozen documents retrieved from the late terrorist’s Abbottabad, Pakistan compound.
That brought the total number released by the Obama administration to 571, which, according to Clapper’s press release, closed “the book on Osama bin Laden” given that they were the “final Abbottabad documents.” Well, not quite final — there were a few more. It turned out those 571 bin Laden documents released by the previous administration amounted to a mere 0.12 percent of the total. This week the Trump administration released the other 470,000.
Hiding the truth
The reason those papers were withheld is pretty simple — the information contained within them didn’t fit the narrative the Obama administration was trying to push on the American public. Obama had a reelection campaign to run, after all.
The Weekly Standard reported:
The self-proclaimed “most transparent administration in history” had spent more than five years misleading the American people about the threat from al-Qaida and its offshoots and had paid very little price for having done so.
Republicans volubly disputed the president’s more laughable claims — the attack on the Benghazi compound was just a protest gone bad, al-Qaida was on the run, ISIS was the terrorist junior varsity — but the establishment media, certain that Obama’s predecessor had consistently exaggerated the threat, showed little interest in challenging Obama or the intelligence agencies that often supported his spurious case.
The Iranian connection
But in addition to national political considerations, something more sinister was afoot on the international scene — negotiations on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, more commonly referred to as the Iran nuclear deal.
In order to get the American people on board, it was important to paint Iran as being our partners in the fight against terrorism. This was a tall order given that country’s reputation as the largest state sponsor of terrorism.
And it was also a lie. Iran and al-Qaida were working hand-in-hand.
According to The Standard:
Bin Laden had described Iran as the “main artery” for al-Qaida in one of the previously released letters recovered in Abbottabad. The details on Iran’s support for al-Qaida, some of them buried until now, led to terrorist designations by the Treasury Department and even caused some intelligence analysts to revisit the assumption that the Shiite radicals in Iran wouldn’t back the Sunni al-Qaida.
“There is an agreement between the Iranian government and al-Qaida to allow this network to operate,” said David S. Cohen, a senior Treasury Department official who went on to become deputy director of the CIA. “There’s no dispute in the intelligence community on this.”
As a result, al-Qaida was the beneficiary of a “core pipeline” of money, travel safe haven and weapons — all courtesy of Iran.
Obviously, this was something the Obama administration didn’t want advertised; after all, it would have jeopardized the Iran deal, which Obama viewed as the signature piece of his foreign policy legacy. So, they suppressed the documents.
The new documents show that the Obama administration placed political gain on a higher plane than the safety and well-being of the American people. All this coming from “the most transparent administration in history.”
BREAKING: Obama's Disturbing Past Revealed
Former Democratic National Committee interim chair Donna Brazile didn’t stop at dishing on Hillary Clinton — she also went after bigger fish.
Brazile’s new book, Hacks: The Inside Story of the Break-ins and Breakdowns That Put Donald Trump in the White House, described how former President Obama did to the Democratic Party what he did to the country — leaving it in massive debt. In assuming the office, she discovered that Obama left the party of Jefferson and Jackson $24 million in the red.
Worse than told
Politico Magazine ran excerpts of Brazile’s book Thursday, in which she revealed:
The Saturday morning after the convention in July, I called Gary Gensler, the chief financial officer of Hillary’s campaign. He wasted no words. He told me the Democratic Party was broke and $2 million in debt.
The financial situation, however, was considerably worse because Obama had failed to engage in adequate fundraising. Brazile wrote that he’d “left the party $24 million in debt — $15 million in bank debt and more than $8 million owed to vendors after the 2012 campaign — and had been paying that off very slowly.”
Debt opens door for Clinton takeover
On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Friday, John Heilemann discussed both the massive debt in which Obama left the party and the opportunity it provided for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to rig the nomination in her favor. She did so by paying off many of the financial obligations, effectively purchasing the nomination. Even Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., admitted that the process was rigged in Clinton’s favor.
The former chairwoman said that from day one she was specifically looking for any collusion between the party and the Clinton camp, to fulfill a promise she’d made to Clinton Democratic rival Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont.
“I at last found the document that described it all: the Joint Fund-Raising Agreement between the DNC, the Hillary Victory Fund, and Hillary for America,” Brazile wrote.
“Hillary for America and the Hillary Victory Fund had taken care of 80 percent of the remaining debt in 2016, about $10 million, and had placed the party on an allowance.”
Debt exacerbated by Wasserman Schultz
In addition to Obama’s lackluster fundraising efforts, Brazile’s predecessor, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., made the party’s financial situation all the worse. Brazile wrote:
The party chair usually shrinks the staff between presidential election campaigns, but Debbie had chosen not to do that. She had stuck lots of consultants on the DNC payroll, and Obama’s consultants were being financed by the DNC, too.
One can assume that Obama had a hand in Wasserman Schultz’s decision to keep his own pet consultants on board, producing a financial double whammy for the DNC.
Obama’s negligence left the Democratic National Committee in dire straights and paved the way for the Clinton and her machine to tilt the nomination in her favor. Fate would see fit, however, for Clinton to lose the general election.
Fw: Never forget?

Never forget?
Can you believe this. Pray tell me what in the world are they teaching our kids in school today, Sex Education, How to get and smoke pot, How bad the United States is, This is what is going to be running the United States some day. We need to go back to the 3 Rs and the paddle board and parents better start parenting.
Never forget?
When college students at George Mason University are asked by the Young America’s Foundation what caused 9-11, several give baffling or just plain wrong answers about the largest terrorist attack in U.S. history. This is an inexcusable failure of the U.S.’ education system and the major news media.
The 9-11 terrorist attacks fundamentally changed Americans’ way of life and its foreign policy for the last fourteen years. On that harrowing morning in 2001, two planes struck the twin towers of the World Trade Center. Two other planes were hijacked: one struck the Pentagon building, and the other was brought down by brave passengers on United Airlines Flight 93 over Pennsylvania.
The terrorist group al-Qaeda, a Sunni Muslim fundamentalist organization led from Afghanistan by the now-deceased Osama bin Laden, coordinated by later Guantanamo Bay detainee Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, carried out the 9-11 attack in ‘retribution‘ for U.S. foreign involvement in the Middle East.
The attack involved 19 hijackers; 15 of them Saudi nationals. There are a missing 28 pages in the 9-11 report yet to be released publicly. Congressmen Walter Jones (R-NC) and Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) have currently issued a proposal to release that classified information.
And… even if you had somehow never heard of the 9-11 attacks, you already know more about what happened than these college students at the largest public research university in Virginia.
The main issue is that not a single college student at any university should be stumped by the question: “What caused 9-11?”
If one is looking for a positive takeaway, at least several of the students in the video acknowledged that the educational system had failed them by saying that the tragic event – an act of war – should be discussed more in the classroom.
Fw: The Exceedingly Simple Truth from a US Perspective (but global applicability)
A timely article
This is not a time for delicacy. For tiptoeing. It is not a time to parse words nor worry about offending someone with unfiltered vocabulary. Time is no longer a luxury we possess. Distance, no longer provides protection. We are being threatened like no time before, by an enemy obsessed with an apocalyptic end game that will bring only disaster. An enemy that worships savagery. An enemy that celebrates depravity. An enemy that glorifies the death of the young.
There has been a seismic shift in our world. We feel it. We see it. We know it. We dare not deny it. Pick up any newspaper on any day, the first page, the second page, the third page, the fourth page and beyond - - most of the articles are about radical Muslims, not just ISIS, immersed in a vicious culture of blood and slaughter. Skip to the sports page or the crossword puzzle if you wish but that doesn't make the uncomfortable news go away.
In fact, it brings joy to the jihadists who hope for our indifference. If we deny evil then we need not fight it. It doesn't exist - just a few lunatics, thousands of miles away, pounding sand, blowing each other up and occasionally beheading an unlucky journalist. Not so bad.
There are one billion Muslims in the world and authorities agree that 5% are committed Islamists who embrace terror and wish to see, by any means possible, the Muslim flag fly over every capital, on every continent. I was relieved when I heard only 5%. Thank God it's only 5%. Now I could sleep soundly. But wait, let me figure this out, 5% of a billion is… 50 million Koran waving, Allah Akbar howling Muslim murderers out there planning to slit our throats, blow us up or forcibly convert us.
It only took 19 of Osama bin Laden’s disciples to bring down the Twin Towers, plow into the Pentagon and crash a plane into Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Over 3,000 dead. Over $10 billion in damages on that sad day. 19 Al Qaeda. 50 million Islamists. Do the math.
But what disturbs me is where are the other 950 million Muslims who are not terrorists? Who are not bomb blasting, acid throwing, zealots? Where are the other 950 million Muslims who tuck their children in at night with a lullaby, who are okay with Christians and Jews, crave a peaceful world and wish nothing more than a tasty bowl of hummus and a friendly game of Shesh Besh with a neighbor?
I want to believe they are out there for their sake and for ours. I want to believe they weep in pain over the desecration of their faith. I want to believe that we have partners who dream the dreams we do and wish upon the same star.
I want to believe - - but where are they?
A silent partnership is no partnership. Sin is not just in the act of commission - it is also in the act of omission. Most Germans were not Nazis - but it did not matter.
Most Russians were not Stalinists - but it did not matter.
Most Muslims are not terrorists - but it does not matter.
Stand up righteously or get out of the way. Perhaps in every mosque, in every midrassah, in every Muslim neighborhood, Edmund Burke's powerful warning should be chiseled on a wall in Arabic, in Farsi, in Pashto, in Urdu, for all to read and heed. “All that is necessary for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing.”
In today's Middle East, lexicon; restraint means suicide. Terrorists have become militants. Self-defense is a war crime. Democracy is apartheid. Israelis and Jews have become Nazis. Warning civilians to get out of harm's way has become genocide. 38 Muslim countries - 22 Arab countries and Israel, the only Jewish nation, must constantly defend her right to exist.
Russia invades. Nigeria enslaves. China oppresses. Pakistan rapes. Iraq slaughters. North Korea starves. Iran nuclearizes. Syria massacres. Venezuela plunders. Afghanistan tortures. Sudan annihilates. ISIS beheads and Israel is the pariah state, put under the microscope by the morally noxious.
Let’s leave the Middle East and head to Europe. For those who have not been recently, it has changed. It has changed dramatically. The sights. The sounds. The crowds. The streets are much different than when we backpacked with our Eurorail passes – strolling down the Champs-Elysees, chasing pigeons at Trafalgar Square, wandering the backstreets of Amsterdam after dark. The continent that gave birth to Western civilization, the continent that defined high culture is crumbling before our very eyes. Because of well-intentioned tolerance and an undisciplined pluralism, Europe is returning to the dark ages. By most estimates, Europe will be unrecognizable by the middle of this century – crushed by a demographic tsunami. The birthrate of the Brits, the French, the Dutch and the rest of the EU is well below zero population growth. The Muslim community’s birthrate is increasing exponentially. The danger, however, is that Europe has not been a melting pot, assimilating new Muslims. And these new Muslims, for the most part, are not interested in respecting the great democracies of Europe. They want Sharia law and Islamic culture to be ascendant and with their birthrate, the ballot box and their disdain for the West, in time, they will get it.
The element that is surging and redefining Europe are not the democracy respecting Muslims but those who are rampaging in nearly every capital. They are preaching hate for Jews, for Christians, for Israel, for America, for the entire Western world. It is not our grandfather’s Europe and it will not be a Europe our grandchildren will recognize.
For the record, Europe is being flooded not by freedom loving, tolerant, assimilating Muslims who wish to share in Western freedom, in Western tolerance, in Western culture but rather by violent Islamists, extremists who reject every value we treasure. We love ethnic communities – they are vibrant, exciting, magical faraway places only a walk away. Chinatown, Little Odessa, Greek town, Little Havana, Lower Eastside, Little Italy, but what is spreading across Europe are not charming, quaint neighborhoods enjoyed by locals and camera toting tourists in search of a charming restaurant. These are beachheads for invasion.
Want to stare down a guard at Buckingham Palace? Do it soon.
Want to see the Follies-Bergere dance the Can Can? Do it soon.
Want to sip wine at the vineyards of Tuscany? Do it soon.
Want to sunbathe on the beaches of San Trope? Do it soon.
The sun never set on the British Empire but now there is a cold darkness settling on Europe. A Nihilism. A corruption. A perversion in the name of Allah. Don’t listen to me. Listen to what the Islamists preach. Don’t listen to me. Look at what the Islamists do. It is not a leap into fantasy to perceive a future that is irretrievably ugly and inconceivably vile.
I must assume there are skeptics out there – folks who disbelieve my warnings and might label me an alarmist – a Paul Revere wannabe – galloping across the Pyrenees through the European heartland in the shadow of the Alps crying out “The Muslims are coming. The Muslims are coming.” I weighed each and every word carefully. Repeatedly. Was I treading into bigotry? … into melodrama?
This ever-growing tragedy doesn’t end neatly in Europe, in the Middle East, in Mumbai or the Philippines. Most of us have never tasted the bitterness of war. Witnessed its horror. Clawed our way out from beneath tons of rubble. But we dare not be complacent and cry out confidently – “we have 2 oceans and the TSA to protect us.” We live in a shrunken world. In a porous country. In an open society. We have become perilously naïve. Recklessly evenhanded. Unacceptably tolerant. Dangerously comfortable. The greatest generation has spawned the clueless generation. I say it again loudly, slowly and clearly – we are at war, here in America as well, with radical Islamists. We have been attacked repeatedly and yet we continue to turn away. We euphemize the enemy. Disguising his identity and his intent. There will not be armadas chanting “Allah Akbar” landing on the beaches of Malibu and Boca. No vast battalions chanting “Allah Akbar” while crossing the Rio Grande or the 45th Parallel – but make no mistake – we are at war, right now, this very minute. The tactics have changed. The battlefield is different. The rules of engagement have been redefined but we dare not make the mistake that all is well and that Islamic terrorists are simply violent criminals. That Islamic terrorists are just a bunch of unemployed losers, no part of a vast network hell bent on destroying our country. Their disunity in numbers but their unity in purpose is their power. The Lone Wolf is deadly and we are the prey.
Ask the man or woman on the street when did this all start and most would reply: “On 9/11.” That was a catastrophic day, but not the start. For us here in America, the war began in Teheran in 1979 when our embassy was taken over. It has continued ruthlessly and without pause ever since. Lockerbie and Scotland, TWA Flight 840, the USS Cole, embassies and American interests bombed and Americans killed in Lebanon, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Sudan, Spain, Kenya, Germany, Egypt, Kuwait, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia.
Connect the dots.
Here on American soil, before 9/11, the Twin Towers were attacked in 1993. The Times Square bomber. The Tsarnev brothers in the Boston Marathon bombing. The Fort Hood massacre was not work place violence but the calculated, cold blooded murder of 13 American soldiers by a Muslim Jihadist yelling “Allah Akbar.” The shooting up in Little Rock, Arkansas of an army recruiting station. The murder of 2 CIA agents outside Langley by a Pakistani whose final words before meeting his maker were “There is no God but Allah.” The indignant, impious, arrogant claim By CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic relations-that anyone who commits an act of violence is by definition, not a Muslim. Therefore, a Muslim terrorist, a Muslim killer, a Muslim suicide bomber, is a misleading term of bigotry and Islamophobia. The slick, masterful ISIS recruitment in Minneapolis. New York. Colorado. On Facebook. On Twitter and across the country.
I am concerned, as we all should be, of the alarming surge in Islamist rhetoric, violence and influence. I am equally concerned, as we all should be, of the alarming silence and inaction of mainstream Muslims.
I fear political correctness run amuck. I fear the worship of multiculturalism. I fear progressive voices of repression. I fear a distorted media tolerant of intolerance. I fear politicians who prefer the easy, still of the night to the noble, necessary struggle of the day. I fear we are not so far away from where we thought we would never be.
Three thoughts to ponder.
Osama bin Laden eluded capture for 10 years. Ever wonder why? There was a $25 million bounty on his head. That’s a lot of money. $25 million can by a lot of plastic surgery. A new identity. Rosetta Stone tapes. Elocution lesson. A suburban home. A Brooks Brothers wardrobe. New partners. New friends. Surf and turf every night and a round of golf every day.
The enemy has eyes and ears. Fingers and toes. Speaks with lips. Runs with legs. Eats. Drinks. Has the face of a human being – but, has a much different heart and a much different soul.
The fury of ultimate evil is upon us and we must act – not to contain it. Not to degrade it. Not to manage it. Not to tolerate it, but to exterminate it utterly and absolutely.
If we fail in this holy crusade, we will live in a world bereft of color. Empty of music, of art, of romance, of laughter, of freedom, of invention. A world barren of all beauty. Depleted of all virtue.
We are divided today not by faith nor holy book. We are divided today by decency and indecency. By right and wrong. By moral and corrupt. By courage and cowardice. By righteousness and evil.
The good citizens of earth must rise up. Gather on the mountain top and proclaim in thundering unison the words of Isaiah:
woe to them that call evil, good and good, evil. Who present darkness as light and light as darkness. Who call bitter, sweet and sweet, bitter.
We must turn back the evil.
We must turn back the darkness.
