Op-ed: 
Less Than 60 Days and Counting
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on CPR Worldwide Media www.cprworldwidemedia.net

"Members of Congress will ask much tougher questions when we meet with the president's team, and because a bad deal threatens the security of the American people, we're going to do everything possible to stop it."
- Speaker of the House John Boehner on Obama's Iranian nuclear surrender

Oh so pretty words out of the mouth of Obama placater John Boehner, especially with his and the House's track record of doing the right thing being NOT exactly stellar. And while the bipartisan leaders of the Senate 'Foreign Relations Committee' did condemn Obama's outwardly having pushed for ratification of the Iran nuclear deal by the U.N. Security Council before Congress even had a chance to read it let alone vote on it...the fact remains that Congress is still basically rendered impotent to stop its passage because of the Corker-Cardin Bill...a bill which actually protects the Democrats wanting to make a deal with Iran... actually protects Obama's wanting Iran to become a nuclear power.

And even though the 'Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015' was approved by 98 Senators and 400 House members, the 'Corker-Cardin Bill' itself leads the way... whether intentionally or NOT...for Iran to become a nuclear power because first, this bill does NOT require that Congress approve the Iran deal before sanctions can be lifted and second, it reverses, if you will, the Constitution’s presumption against international agreements, meaning the Constitution does NOT give the president the right to make binding agreements with foreign countries on his own. The Constitution surmises that the president should NOT and must NOT take on any enforceable international agreements, deals, or accords without the approval of those 'We the People' elected to represent us and do our bidding.

And the Constitution mandates that NO international agreement can be considered binding unless it garners either a super-majority approval by two-thirds of the Senate or said agreement is enactment through the normal legislative process, meaning passage by both chambers of Congress, and then and only then a signature by the president. But the 'Corker-Cardin Bill's' passage means that instead of requiring the president to get a two-thirds super majority of the Senate to approve the Iran deal, it requires those against the deal to get a two-thirds super majority of the full Congress to defeat the deal. Translation: with Republicans now needing 67 disapproval votes in the Senate and 291 disapproval votes in the House to kill the deal...which will be hard to do...Obama will now once again most likely succeeded in selling America...and Israel...out to the enemy.

And let's be honest as to who is really to blame here...besides first and foremost America's traitor-in-chief of course...it's the Republicans in Congress...the now majority in Congress...who passed this Constitutional trampling 'Corker-Cardin Bill' minus the much-needed but voted down amendments that would have automatically re-imposed sanctions if Iran vacillated in any way from the deal; that would have required treating the deal as a treaty as mandated by our Constitution; that would have required...actually demanded...that Iran free all the Americans they're falsely imprisoning; and that would have required Iran to accept the all-important supposedly non-negotiable right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state.

They voted all this down to pass instead a bill that the Democrats...that Obama...liked and now the U.N. itself has added insult to that injury by ramming the Iranian deal through its Security Council while Congress sits back and blames everybody else without taking a good long look in the proverbial mirror. Now hopping mad at what the U.N. did before they had a chance to vote either in support of or hopefully against this very deal, Congress remains oblivious to the fact that they themselves are complicit in these events because instead of standing up to Obama they put their own political interests...meaning getting re-elected...over national interests...par for the course I'd say of those too afraid of the race card being used against them to do the right thing.

And after the U(seless) N(ations) did what it did Obama's mouthpiece in this deal...John 'Swiftboat' Kerry...had the unmitigated audacity, in a recent nationally televised interview with NBC's Matt Lauer, to warn Israel they dare NOT attack Iran’s nuclear program either via bombing or cyber-attack. Warning Israel...actually threatening our ally Israel...Kerry tried to hide the very fact that in Annex III, page 142, Section D-10 of this Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (see entire transcript of the deal here: https://www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/271545626-Iran-Deal-Text.pdf) are words that allow for a possible counter-attack by the U.S. and others to help Iran protect its nuclear sites against any and all attacks by Israel. Saying instead that an attack by Israel on Iran would be a huge mistake with grave consequences for both Israel and the region, Kerry slipped and admitted that, and I quote, “Iran already has enough fissile material for 10 to 12 bombs” ...something I and my Right Side Patriots partner and friend Craig Andresen have been saying since this Iran brouhaha first started.

And now, in addition to the annex issue, it's been leaked that the IAEA and Iran have reached two separate and very secret agreements in reference to the inspection of Iran's, to date, off-limits Parchin military complex along with how Iran will or will NOT address the IAEA’s still unanswered questions regarding past weaponization work. Remember, this very bad deal addresses Iran's presently known facilities alone.

Also, it was announced that these secret agreements have NOT and will NOT be released for either public perusal nor will they be submitted to Congress for review before a vote on passage or rejection of the deal is taken. And this alone is a breech of law...a breech which Obama knows about but does NOT care about...as it goes directly against the 'Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015' that he himself signed into law and which clearly states that “any and all annexes, appendices, codicils, side agreements, implementing materials, documents, and guidance, technical or other understandings and any related agreements, whether entered into or implemented prior to the agreement or to be entered into or implemented in the future,” must first be approved by Congress.

"Put simply, no deal means a greater chance of more war in the Middle East," Obama keeps bloviating ad-nauseum, but the truth is hidden in what Kerry did NOT say during the above mentioned interview. Besides his referring to the deal as a treaty which we know as per our Constitution it is NOT...is that America, the P5+1, and the IAEA are now willing participants in setting-up Israel to be forced to attack Iran because Iran will surely NOT abide by the deal...secret or otherwise...that they signed...and that Iran will then counter-attack Israel with the U.S. under the Obama regime siding with Iran the enemy against Israel our ally in their joint effort to rid the world of the 'pesky' Jewish state...to do to the Jewish people what Hitler could NOT accomplish.

And Israel knows this well for the details hidden in the annexes, appendixes, and secret agreements of this very bad deal are NOTHING but a blanket threat to Israel to either accept as fact that Iran will soon become a nuclear power or that we...the United States of America...will help Iran make sure that the Levant becomes reality.

So while Obama appeasers John Boehner and Mitch McConnell put on a phony front of concern and consternation about this very bad deal, we now have less than 60 days to make sure we garner the needed votes to NOT only kill this capitulation to the enemy but to override Obama's sure to come veto if we do. And then after the vote is taken, and NO matter its outcome, immediate impeachment proceedings must be started against Barack HUSSEIN Obama for willingly and knowingly 'aiding and abetting' the enemy...it's called treason...by signing a deal that goes directly against our Constitution, our national security, and the security of what's left of the still free world.

Op-ed: 
A Diplomatic Trial Run 
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on CPR Worldwide Media  www.cprworldwidemedia.net

"Nothing is more futile than trying to live in the past...We're taking a historic and long overdue step in the right direction."
- U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on normalizing relations with Cuba

In 1959 Fidel Castro established the communist state of Cuba...a mere 90 miles off the coast of South Florida...after overthrowing dictator Fulgencio Batista. And now in 2015, at the stroke of midnight this past Monday, the diplomatic missions of each country became full embassies as Barack HUSSEIN Obama basically gave a 'get out of jail' free card to the repressive Cuban government for all past actions. Later, with the raising of the blue, red, and white-starred Cuban flag inside the lobby of the State Department, full diplomatic relations with a country still rife with stifling oppression and human rights violations was restored.

On April 7, 1980, the U.S. cut off all diplomatic relations with Iran after the 1979 Iranian revolution and the taking of 52 American hostages. On July 14, 2015, foreign ministers from Iran and the P5+1 announced they had reached a final nuclear agreement after 20 months of negotiations... negotiations orchestrated by Barack HUSSEIN Obama who considers this deal the crowning diplomatic achievement of his presidency...when in actuality this deal is more grounds for impeachment for his violating Article II Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution. On Monday, July 20, 2015, the U.N. Security Council...on Obama's urging...unanimously endorsed said deal and authorized measures that will end U.N. sanctions on Iran...doing so before our Congress had a chance to review and vote on said deal.

Major historic events...yet to many seemingly unconnected events...yet events whose ramifications go deeper...much deeper...than it appears on the surface for these events have an American president willingly and knowingly selling his country out to very bad people both in Cuba and in Iran. And know that the normalizing of relations with Cuba was but the 'trial run' towards Obama's ultimate goal of extending full diplomatic relations to Iran so that he, first, will NOT be perceived by history as striking a very dangerous deal with one of America's enemies, and second, to assure that very enemy that they have a trusted 'friend' in one of their islamic brethren while America and 'We the People' be damned.

As for Cuba...the island nation is still stuck in the 1950s and its people are still hurting both on the economic front and on the personal freedoms front. Though normalization of sorts has now taken place...after all at midnight on Monday the 'Cuban Interests Section' in Washington DC switched its all-important (sarcastically said) Twitter account to say 'embassy'...there is NO real benefit to either the Cuban people nor to their families living here in the U.S.

And with serious ideological rifts remaining between both countries...including mutual claims for economic reparations; the Castro brothers demand that an end be put to the 53-year-old trade embargo...which Obama has indicated he might do by using his presidential authority...as in his 'pen and his phone'...despite the vocal objection of some in Congress...along with another of the Castro brothers demand to return our Guantanamo Bay military base (GITMO) to Cuba; and with U.S. calls for Cuba to improve its human rights record and move towards democracy...Obama threw them a self-serving 'political expediency' bone by somewhat loosening restrictions on travel and by somewhat increasing monetary remittances to the island nation.

Saying that in his opinion the decades-long still in effect policies regarding Cuba have failed, and that NOTHING has changed for the Cuban people under those policies...while ignoring the fact that the Cuban people under the Castro government are still being oppressed...Barack HUSSEIN Obama unilaterally...what else...decided that we as a nation could NO longer keep the same said policies in place and expect any sort of change. And supporting Obama’s actions are the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Foreign Trade Council, and certain key agricultural lobby groups whose members say they want to increase their exports to Cuba, but who really just want to line their own pockets on the misery of the Cuban people.

And the truth is that the change Obama himself is aiming for is his own very special narcissistic version of change...what else...that serves NOT the Cuban people as the Castro brothers will still call all the shots and dole out said monies at their whim while still allowing monies garnered to be pilfered by the Cuban government and the military...yet this will still serve to lay the groundwork for Iran normalization because Obama gets to say that since 'he' removed Cuba from the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism...but really who has Cuba terrorized besides its own people...and that since 'he' normalized relations with the island nation...they have become an integral part of the world community and that if 'he'' normalizes relations with Iran they will too.

“I think we should also not minimize how the Cuba rapprochement might play in the inner counsels in Tehran.” 
 - Kenneth Katzman, Senior Analyst of Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and Persian Gulf Affairs at the Congressional Research Service.

So after Monday's slap in the face to America by the U.N. know that normalization of relations with Iran is sure to come for it was Obama himself who outwardly pushed for the rushed lifting of the U.N. sanctions on Iran...after all why NOT acquiesce even more to the brethren...even more than the hush-hush detail (Obama?) slipped into the deal that few know about. According to the deal reached in Vienna, the U.S. and the P5+1 can help Iran “deflect” and even “respond” to sabotage and threats to its nuclear sites...meaning in simple terms, 'screw Israel.'

And with this and other important details of this very bad deal carefully hidden in the many annexes...including the fact that Iran does NOT have to disclose any sites except those which are currently known...Annex III of this Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)*...the actual name of the Iranian nuclear deal...has page 142 titled 'Civil Nuclear Cooperation,' of which Section D-10 clearly states that the P5+1 “and possibly other states are prepared to cooperate with Iran on the implementation of nuclear security guidelines and best practices” including allowing for a possible staging of a counter-attack to help Iran protect its nuclear sites...against Israel. This alone should have Congress voting a resounding NO to the deal as this will have the U.S. and our allies being allies with Iran against our true ally Israel if Israel does launch a much needed pre-emptive strike. But will they have the fortitude to go against Obama and do the right thing...their past record scarily leads one to say they will NOT.

But since few, like I said, know about this cleverly hidden detail, Obama will indeed try...and probably will succeed...in 'pulling a Cuba' in regards to Iran as he has done NOTHING but coddle and appease those who are enemies of this country. And don't think for a minute that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu doesn't know this for he knows that this now normalization with Cuba will indeed lead, in a very short period of time, to normalization with Iran. And Netanyahu also knows that unless he can rally the strong pro-Israel lobbyists in Congress from both parties to convince the others in Congress to stand strong against Obama on this very bad that the Iranian flag will also soon be hanging at the State Department.
