Op-ed: 
The Iranian Fight for Freedom

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

"It is up to Iranians to make decisions about who Iran's leaders will be...We respect Iranian sovereignty and want to avoid the United States being the issue inside of Iran, which sometimes the United States can be a handy political football."

- Barack HUSSEIN Obama, June 2009

Flashback to June 2009 when Iranian students and their sympathizers took to the streets of Tehran in a quest for freedom from the oppressive islamic regime and when then President Barack HUSSEIN Obama...an islamist himself... told the world that the U.S. had to act extremely cautiously for fear that a “forceful intervention” could have America becoming the rallying cry...the foil...for those in power.

Remember how Obama's lack of both action and support for the student-led Green Revolution led to the uprising failing and the regime becoming even more brutal in dealing with any and all who disputed the presidential election win of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad over the favored Mir-Hossein Mousavi. Remember how Iran's infamous Revolutionary Guard ordered demonstrators to "end the sabotage and rioting activities" and threatened to crush any further opposition.

And when the protests continued they were crushed to the point where the Iranian government arrested more than 4000 protesters as well as confirming the deaths of 36 protesters, but with the pro-Mousavi supporters claiming more than double that number were killed.

Remember how tyranny, oppression, religious fervor, and sharia law further enslaved the Iranian people...and still do...as Obama turned his back on those fighting for freedom from the cleric-led regime...but not before saying that getting the U.S. involved in the situation, what with all of our "historical baggage of past interferences in Iranian politics," would only make matters much worse. Yet his defenders said Obama's "measured response" actually spoke up for human rights while preserving U.S. options while at the same time greatly lessened the chance that he would become a scapegoat...a scapegoat the cleric regime could claim was guilty of calling for regime change. But really, how could Obama be a scapegoat for anything when everything he did and said...or should I say did not do and did not say...helped to appease Iran's brutal leaders and gain the favor of his brethren...I remember it all...I surely do.

"I respectfully disagree with the administration's decision to essentially draw the line at not meddling and not interfering," so said then Congressman Mike Pence back in June 2009.

And I remember how newly elected Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad...who called the demonstrators and any who opposed him "terrorists"...strongly “urged” the United States...the now to be known as "Great Satan"...to stop meddling in Iran's affairs. A threat of course, and Obama acquiesced leading directly to the situation we face today...a situation now involving a soon-to-be nuclear armed Iran.

Flash forward to December 28, 2017...now it's eight and half years later and again demonstrations and violence have broken out throughout Iran, leading Iran's current Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to as expected accuse the "enemies of Iran"...meaning the U.S. and Israel of course...of meddling in his country's affairs. But thankfully, this time we now have a president who is not buying into this rhetoric and who stands alongside the demonstrators and protesters...a president concerned that to date there are 22 dead and more than 3,700 reportedly arrested, including several citizen-journalists.

Saying, "Iran is failing at every level despite the terrible deal made with them by the Obama Administration. The great Iranian people have been repressed for many years. They are hungry for food & for freedom. Along with human rights, the wealth of Iran is being looted. TIME FOR CHANGE!" President Trump knows 'We the People' stand with him, his words said, and with the tens of thousands of protesters who have had enough of the clerics subjugating regime.

And this time around President Trump happily welcomes our allies Israel and Saudi Arabia (if you can call Saudi Arabia a true ally) into the mix as they too are heralding the protests...protests still having no clear leaders but protests growing stronger by the day...while at the same time warning the world about the true dangers of Iran's regional influence; its ever-growing terrorist network; and of course its nuclear ambitions...ambitions that are anything but peaceful...ambitions that are dangerously close to reaching fruition thanks to Obama's cleverly crafted and oh so calculated 'very bad' nuclear deal.

“Brave Iranians are pouring into the streets. They seek freedom. They seek justice. They seek the basic liberties that have been denied them for decades. Iran’s cruel regime wastes tens of billions of dollars spreading hate,” so rightfully said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

And while President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence continue to monitor the goings on in Iran while at the same time warning those in power against arresting peaceful protesters, they are also letting it be known that these protests will not be a repeat of the failure of 2009. And they do so no matter that the mullahs continue to blame the continued “unrest” on “overt support of the U.S., the Zionist regime [Israel], and Saudi Arabia.”

Ignoring the fact that the Iranian people are so desperate for the freedoms they had before the 1979 revolution... freedoms that included not a hint of burkas and hajibs... freedoms where women were not chattel but treated as equals and where men were not savages...the mullahs are blind to the reality that these current protests are not birthed by the U.S. but by Iran's own internal political dynamics, both domestic and economic discontent, government corruption coupled with total non-transparancy, and a spreading anger that Iran's wealth is being wasted on any and everybody but the Iranian people.

In other words there are problems at home...serious socioeconomic problems...that Iranians rightfully feel should take precedence over all other matters. In fact, the seeds for these protests were planted soon after Obama lifted sanction on Iran after his 'very bad' nuclear deal went into effect. But instead of the Iranian people directly benefiting from the newly released monies...instead of the monies bringing much needed economic relief...the monies went to fund terrorism, proxy wars, and propping up al-Assad's Syrian government.

“No to high prices”...“Death to Rouhani.”..."Forget Palestine, Not Gaza, not Lebanon, my life for Iran.” So shouted Iranian protesters on December 28, 2017.

Beginning now in Mashhad, Iran's second largest city, small assemblies of protesters..."illegal gatherings" as per the regime...protesters who were angry over the price of eggs directed that pent-up anger towards both Iran's slow and stagnant economy and those in the government who contributed to it. And that anger has now spread to cities and provinces all across Iran...including to Tehran...what with an economy hurting from an overall 9.6% inflation rate, a 12.7% unemployment rate, and from sanctions that resulted in food stuffs being in short supply to such a degree that the price of basic goods and even gas has increased by about 40% in the last year alone. And when you add in that the number of Iranians living in poverty has increased under the 'supposed' yet anything but reformist President Hassan Rouhani, you can see why the Iranian people are frustrated and furious to such a degree that a call for a country wide revolution against the mullah's oppressive theocratic regime appears to be on the horizon.

"Death to the dictator”...“Death to the Revolutionary Guard”...was also heard amongst the protesters... protesters dissatisfied with a government that has failed to deliver on its promises to not only make ordinary Iranians’ lives better but to address their multitude of political grievances as well. And know that many, especially the young who are “fed up” with their dim prospects, want the mullahs gone.

And President Trump...who is always quick to respond to developments...has warned Tehran against arresting any peaceful protesters and has also promised that at the “appropriate time” these freedom fighters would see aid and help coming from the U.S. And Trump also let it be known that in the meantime the State Department would be using Facebook and Twitter to communicate directly with the protesters. That is they will do so only until the Supreme National Security Council...Big Brother and the thought police rolled into one...places 'security' restrictions on them as well just as they recently restricted access to Instagram and Telegram social media apps...especially to Telegram which is a messaging application the protesters have been using to plan and publicize demonstrations.

I guess the Iranian government...the mullah-controlled dictatorial theocracy...just doesn't understand that by shutting down the protester's access to the outside world and by their also limiting media access to said protests, they are actually letting the outside world see the truth... the truth that Iranians, especially the young, are sick of living under seventh century despots and desperately want to live as free men and women in the 21st century world.

"Oppressive regimes cannot endure forever. The world is watching!" President Trump tweeted in response to both the protests and the newest government threats made against the protesters.

And it's always threats of course...threats made out of fear perhaps...fear to such a degree that the Irib News agency is reporting that the government has warned the protesters that they would “pay a price” if the unrest continues, and also saw Interior Minister Abdolrahman Rahmani Fazli warning protesters against what he calls “disruptive behaviour.” Now add in that the semi-state news agency Fars is reporting that Bahram Qassemi, spokesman for Iran's foreign ministry is saying that Trump's warnings are "cheap, worthless and invalid” as the "Iranian people feel no value for the opportunistic claims of the US officials and Mr. Trump, himself, " leads one to wonder if these obviously defensive reactions are not actually a harbinger of the mullah's impending demise.

A long overdue harbinger I would say no matter that the regime claims they have yet to deploy all of the 'so-called' weapons in their arsenal...an arsenal as in army troops... they claim could crush the protests once and for all. But why not deploy these weapons now when the protests and protesters are still somewhat manageable...why wait until they grow in size and momentum to where there is no stopping them... why. Because these are not the protests of 2009...because this time protesters are of the likes of 'Haroon,' a 23-year old communications student who said, “Students and ordinary people are being killed and wounded by the police, because we tear down posters of the tyrannical leaders and we burn them. We only want happiness. We want help from the Americans to end this regime.”...one of but many who now realize Obama sold them out but who also understand President Trump wants to set right that so grievous wrong.

One of but many like 31-year old 'Azi' who says it best...“Here is real hell...This is a real revolution against the mullahs. Iran is uprising. I thank Mr. Trump for his support, but we need more.”

And know that both Haroon and Azi speak for countless many who so appreciate President Trump's words of support and who vow to continue on until promised U.S. help arrives “when the time is right”...the countless many who see their movement growing stronger by the day, with the harbinger of the mullah's demise growing along with it... growing with it now that America is truly on their side.

And as these protests are being watched by cowardly European governments who must be in awe of the brave Iranians fighting back against the very sorts who are now overtaking their countries...and as U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley praises the courage of the Iranian protesters and reads to gathered reporters numerous social media posts written by Iranians in a show of support for the protests...with many openly calling for the overthrow of the Tehran regime...Haley fearlessly let Iran's leaders know that their contention that the unrest was solely being orchestrated by their external enemies including our C.I.A. was “complete nonsense” and that these protests were a “precise picture of a long oppressed people’s rising up against their dictators.”

'A precise picture' indeed no matter that last Wednesday Maj Gen Mohammad Ali Jafari, the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, announced the defeat of the “sedition” in his country...the defeat of the anti-government protests. But really how can this be when new protests continue to breakout daily across Iran. In fact, just as Maj. Jafari was making his announcement protesters in Nowshahr, in the north of Iran, were marching and chanting “death to the dictator.” See that video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ky8f1bQVB4&list=PLjg2ljUDdXEI07SJOYIg5Jdo5PI5M3_yI&index=29

And if the general's words...actually his lies...are not an attempt to paint a vastly different picture instead of the true picture of the mullahs desperately trying to hold onto power... than I don't know what is. But what I do know is that last Friday's meeting at the U.N... where a statement was read from the Iranian Resistance urging the Security Council to defend the "legitimate and inalienable right" of the Iranian people to overthrow the oppressive theocratic regime and establish both freedom and sovereignty for Iran...coupled with the U.S. calling for support for the anti-government protesters...accomplished nothing of substance as some U.S. allies...France included...questioned whether an international response was even justified as said protests did not constitute a threat to international peace and security.

And of course Tehran accused the U.S. and President Trump of "bullying" and trying to "derail" the in-place international nuclear deal with their ambassador, Gholamali Khoshroo, also saying that the U.S. had abused its power as a permanent member of the Security Council just by their calling for a meeting to discuss the protests. But not to be outdone, Russian Ambassador Vasily Nebenzya said the U.S. was "abusing the platform of the Security Council" with a "bogus" pretext to interfere in the domestic affairs of a sovereign member nation.

But no matter for if truth be told the United Nations usually sides against the U.S. and with the islamists.

So know the protests will continue on no matter assertions to the contrary for the Iranian people know that freedom is worth fighting and possibly dying for. And so I say God speed Iran your time is now and 'We the People' stand with you for we know that only with the mullah's gone will you be truly free.

Op-ed: 
A One-Sided Deal Hopefully Soon Gone 
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

"We will strengthen not only our missiles but also our air, land and sea forces...When it comes to defending our country, we will ask nobody for their permission." 

- Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's words said after President Trump's historic U.N. speech

While we have all been focusing on North Korea...and rightfully so...just three days ago Iran tested their new Khoramshahr medium-range missile mere hours after it was unveiled at a Tehran military parade...a successful launch shown on state television courtesy of in-flight video carried within the missile's nose. And they did so in direct defiance of warnings issued by President Trump...warnings alluding to the fact that he was ready to pull the U.S. out of Obama's 'very bad' nuclear deal...the deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)...a deal signed in 2015 by the 'so-called' P5+1...as in the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council...China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States, plus Germany.

And know that these nations...save for us of course...still support this deal no matter that Iran continues to claim that the nuclear deal was never intended to address any other issues except nuclear bomb building and/or uranium enrichment...meaning the testing of missiles...delivery or otherwise...was never part of the deal.

And while the deal itself between Iran and the P5+1 did not specifically prohibit Iran from developing or testing missiles, the fact is that after the agreement went into effect the U.N. Security Council adopted a resolution calling on Iran not to take any actions related to ballistic missiles...missiles"designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons" for at least eight years...to which Iran still argues that the tests they are currently conducting are solely for defensive purposes. Playing the semantics card by using the wording of the Security Council's own resolution against them, we all know that said missiles are indeed designed to carry nuclear warheads...and Iran knows we know and just does not care.

So while President Trump will report to Congress on October 15th as to whether or not he believes Iran remains in compliance with both the nuclear deal itself and with the Security Council resolution, and whether it remains in our best interests to continue to be part of this still 'very bad' nuclear deal...know that our president has indeed already made his decision, but being the savvy game player that he is he knows not to speak of his decision before said announced date as it would then give our enemy an upper hand of sorts.

But also know that if President Trump does indeed decide that Iran has not met its previously agreed upon obligations...especially in regards to their ongoing missile testing...missile testing that could give them the much needed technical 'smarts' for a nuclear delivery system by the time the deal's 'sunset clause' expires in 2025 or even before...that is if they do not already have it and possibly even be sharing it with North Korea's mad man-child Kim Jong-un. And that would allow U.S. lawmakers to reimpose even stricter and more punishing sanctions against the Iranian regime which, in and of itself, would lead to the collapse of the agreement.

Now as to Iran's newest ballistic missile...Iranian Revolutionary Guard Aerospace Commander, General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, told reporters that the Khoramshahr missile just tested has a range of 1,250 miles and can carry multiple warheads, but quickly added the usual rhetoric that all of Iran's missiles are only designed to carry conventional warheads alone...yeah right...and that they have a limited range of about 1243 miles, but he let it be known that they have the technology to go further. But none of those mile numbers really matter as our ally Israel and U.S. bases in the Gulf are already within Iran's missile range and have been for quite some time.

And now another item of sorts is getting thrown into this nuclear deal mix for can it really be that with Iran's previous missile tests being not so different than this newest one has led to an epiphany moment for National Security Advisor Gen. H.R. McMaster...a moment so life changing that it led him to flip on his once diehard support of Obama's 'very bad' nuclear deal. And why do I say this, on last Thursday's 'New Day' show on CNN, host Chris Cuomo asked Gen. McMaster what he thought of Obama's nuclear deal with Iran. First responding by calling said deal "fundamentally flawed" and that the Trump White House is concerned about what to do about Iran's "destabilizing behavior," it was his words, "It gave the Iranian regime all the benefits upfront...and then the incompleteness of the deal...which really could give the regime cover to advance a nuclear program."...that heralded a complete 180 degree turn from his past words said.

Where Gen. McMaster had once believed that "establishing regular diplomatic talks with Tehran could help reduce the suspicion of Iran not fulfilling the terms of the nuclear deal, and prevent war," he now has jumped on the 'Trump train'...so to speak...by saying that, "We've taken a holistic look at this...what's different about the President's approach is he didn't just look at the Iran deal -- he placed his decision on the Iran deal on broad context of how we protect American citizens, American interests, how we protect our allies and partners from Iran's broad range of destabilizing behavior."

See Gen. McMaster's 'New Day' interview with Chris Cuomo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhI0L1-RUic

A complete and total flip-flop and words I do not for even a moment believe...for these words said are from the very man whom former Secretary of State John 'Swiftboat' Kerry alluded to in a speech given on June 5, 2017...months after McMaster joined the Trump administration...as being the "best bet" for keeping the nuclear agreement alive. Interesting words for sure but what exactly did Kerry base his words upon. How about that from September 2006 until February 2017...in other words up until he was appointed National Security Advisor replacing Gen. Michael Flynn...McMaster was listed as a member of the British-based think tank 'International Institute for Strategic Studies' (IISS). 

While at IISS, McMastere served as a consulting senior fellow regarding military history; civil-military relations; development and security; and conflict and conflict prevention. But the sticking point here is that the IISS is bankrolled by many multinational corporate firms doing billions of dollars in business in and with Iran...our enemy Iran...and who has as one of the chief donors a George Soros-funded nonprofit that was identified by the Obama administration as being central in helping to sell the Iran nuclear deal to the public and to the media. While of course not serving there now, McMaster remains in contact with his former colleagues. 
 
Now add in that McMaster basically fired Ezra Cohen-Watnick, a Trump aide, from the National Security Council simply because he opposed the Iran nuclear deal...he also removed Rich Higgins, the NSC’s director of strategic planning and another voice against the Iran nuclear deal...as well as removing Derek Harvey, who like the others also opposed the Iran deal no matter that he was the man who held the Middle East portfolio at the NSC...and McMaster did all this in what some newspapers called a “sweep of Iran hard-liners.” 
 
Then there's rummages now coming out of D.C. that McMaster has reportedly been continuing to urge both President Trump himself as well as his administration to re-certify Iran’s compliance with Obama's 'very bad' nuclear deal no matter his current words said...no matter that President Trump himself has rightfully called this deal "one of the worst transactions the U.S. has ever entered into."

So, the bottom line for me in regards to Gen. McMaster's newest words regarding what remains a 'very bad' nuclear deal, is that his now flip-flopping placating words said are said solely to try and save his position withing the administration...what with more and more folks telling the president that McMaster might not be who he seems on the surface. And I do not trust him, I do not believe anything he says, and I so do question his loyalty to our president for besides the old adage that leopards never change their spots is that I believe once an islamic condoner it is a safe bet to say always an islamic condoner.

But even if you remove McMaster from the mix, one can easily surmise from Iran's own words said that they have no intention now nor ever of living up to the deal they agreed to. And that becomes more than a bit obvious in the very words Iran has repeatedly spewed...words to the affect that it has no choice but to boost its defenses because its "regional rivals Israel and Saudi Arabia" have signed arms contracts with Washington and other Western governments. "We will strengthen our defense and military capabilities whether you want it or not," Iran's President Rouhani said but a few days ago as a direct response to Trump's 'America First' speech at the U.N. General Assembly last week. 

Adding that Washington "creates problems for the peoples of our region every day and boast of selling arms to the bloodthirsty Zionist regime which has been attacking the peoples of our region for 70 years like a cancerous tumor," is something I find quite humorous in a dark and maybe picky sort of way as Israel has only been a country for 69 years not the 70 years Iran claims...give these islamic sorts an inch and they will surely take a mile.

So where does all this leave us now that we have a president who understands the ramifications that we've been 'had' by the previous president who catered to the whim of his brethren over the security of the world. President Trump said it best in a recent tweet...the U.S. doesn't have "much of an agreement" after Tehran again test fired a ballistic missile. And with his adding that "They are also working with North Korea," Trump knows well that we must not let the "murderous Iranian regime" continue its destabilizing activities as it builds "dangerous missiles"...to which I will add or helps another dangerous regime to do so.

In other words, while we know President Trump is well-skilled in the 'art of the deal'...in this case his alluding that he may renegotiate the nuclear pact or de-certify what he called "one of the worst and most one-sided transactions" in U.S. history and a total "embarrassment to the United States"...is but a smoke and mirrors buildup for what is his final decision...a final decision he probably made when Iran publicly stated that renegotiation is not option. And we know President Trump does not take well to threats...veiled or otherwise.

Just ask Mr. "Rocket Man" who now sees U.S. Air Force bombers and fighter escorts going further north than the demilitarized zone about the "clear message" that sends...for actions now taken by this president against America's enemies do indeed speak louder than even forceful words said. 
 
Be ready Iran...you...I'm sure...are rightfully next on President Trump's 'hit list.'

Op-ed: 
Countries that Won and Countries that Lost in Last Week's Election

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio bit.ly/2cpXuRd

It’s over...Donald J. Trump won and thankfully for our country he did. But what’s forgotten in Trump’s win is that Israel also won while at the same time Iran lost...and let’s not forget that there’s also Russia added into the mix of Trump’s win.

Let’s start with the loser Iran. Iran...the leading state sponsor of terror...Iran...the country who wants to wipe Israel (the Little Satan) off the map and then come for us (the Great Satan)...Iran who shouts “Death to America” almost nonstop now best temper down their rhetoric for Donald J. Trump will surely counter then negate Iran’s mindset of becoming the Middle East’s main regional power.

And step one towards that goal would be for Trump to remove our country’s ‘John Hancock’ from what’s known as the ‘Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action’...commonly and rightfully referred to as Obama’s very bad nuclear deal...a deal Trump himself called “disastrous” and his “No. 1 priority” for removal...a deal Iran never signed...a deal which is technically a non-binding, non-Senate ratified treaty. And this is the very deal that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani claimed, upon hearing of Trump’s win, that there is “no possibility” whatsoever of this deal to be overturned by Trump or anyone else. But this is an outright lie no matter that Rouhani told his cabinet that Tehran’s “understanding in the nuclear deal was that the accord was not concluded with one country or government but was approved by a resolution of the U.N. Security Council and there is no possibility that it can be changed by a single government.”

Simply, Rouhani is so very wrong for by Iran’s breaking many agreements they themselves signed this affords a now President Trump justification for doing away with Obama’s very bad nuclear deal. Here are but three examples Trump can use as the reason for his canceling said deal, with example one being that Iran has already violated key provisions of the deal regarding heavy water, inspections, and fissile materials that the U.S. and the U.N. granted way too many waivers and exemptions for.

Example two is that Iran has not so secretly been trying to buy dual-use nuclear technology from rouge nations...North Korea being but one...which directly violates their signing of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action which clearly states that Iran needs international approval for any and all nuclear or nuclear related purchases. And then there’s always example three that has Iran continuing its countless violations of international law by its not only sponsoring terrorism but by snubbing its nose at U.N. Security Council resolutions against exporting arms and weapons to not only assorted Palestinian terrorist groups, but to Hezbollah, Syrian militias, and Yemeni rebels as well. 

And know that there are many more reasons for negating this most disastrous and dangerous of deals Barack HUSSEIN Obama ever made...actually a deal that when all is said and done is a deal that ‘aids and abets’ an enemy of the U.S...treason in no uncertain terms.

So as Rouhani continues to spew that America's "sickness and civil instability will persist for a long time”...as Rouhani thinks that it will still be he who is in control of the nuclear game come January 20th, because of Obama’s weaknesses that allowed for concession after concession to be made just so he could get a deal in place for his legacy...a legacy now and forever rightfully tarnished...a deal that allowed Iran to manipulate and control Obama’s orchestrating of said deal thus turning it into an executive agreement instead of the treaty it should have been...the bottom line is that Rouhani solely underestimates the determination of Donald J. Trump to set America right again...to make America great again...to make Obama’s very bad nuclear deal go away.

And while we know the whys and the justifications for having said deal go away, the possibilities as to how to accomplish that are many beyond just erasing our signature from the dotted line and letting the consequences fall where they may. And while some dismiss the concept of economic sanctions it must be known that they do indeed work in more ways than one. Remember, economic sanctions are what brought Iran to the bargaining table in the first place for the sanctions against them were severely crippling Iran’s economy and they needed a way to get them lifted...now enter center stage Obama’s very bad nuclear deal.

And by placing new and even stronger economic sanctions on third parties (countries, companies and individuals) that deal with Iran we hope to bring them to their economic knees which in turn has them pressuring Iran to either duly comply with the deal or be directly responsible for the deal’s demise. And then there is always the possibilities of reinstating the U.S. sanctions already being waived or having Trump issue an executive order placing new and even stricter economic sanctions upon the enemy Iran. And let’s not forget that Trump could invoke the ‘International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977’ which gives him, as president, broad sanctioning power. 

But no matter which route Trump goes in negating the U.S. role in this very bad nuclear deal, know we now have a president who truly believes America’s enemies be damned and a president who understands that while some Democrats and foreign leaders say that this plan is “very successful in doing what it was designed to do, and that is to block systematically each pathway Iran had to achieve a nuclear weapon," Donald J. Trump understands that the wool has indeed been pulled over their eyes for he knows Iran leadership keeps referring to this deal as a “Nuclear Deal” made...need I say more.

Now let’s turn to one of the prime benefactors of Trump’s winning the election...the forever Jewish State of Israel. And I think Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it best with but seven simple words about his friend Donald J. Trump...seven simple words that Donald J. Trump is a "true friend of the state of Israel."

See Benjamin Netanyahu's congratulatory words here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOMG4IOfH0I

And yes, Trump is a true friend to Israel...in fact Netanyahu has already been invited to the Trump White House...while Hillary Clinton...the woman who has Muslim Brotherhood operative Huma Abedin as her top advisor and confidant while claiming she is Israel’s greatest friend...remains unwaveringly pro-Palestinian in her demands for a two-state solution at all costs...a solution that would jeopardize Israel’s very survival what with her ‘so-called’ cabinet-in-waiting having no one amongst them to champion for Israel’s side...Donald J. Trump knows well that Israel’s right to survival ‘trumps’ anything the made-up people called ‘Palestinians’ might want or demand. 

And let’s not forget that a Hillary presidency would have forced said two-state solution down Israel’s throat for she believes that Israel alone bears the burden of why there is no peace. Hillary and crew strongly believe that in order to to attain even a semblance of peace that Israel must surrender control over Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria... giving them to the ‘so-called’ Palestinians to do with what they so chose...allowing them to rid God’s promised land of His chosen people. But Donald J. Trump will have none of this for he has declared first in a tweet that “Support for Israel is an expression of Americanism. …We reject the false notion that Israel is an occupier”...and has also told the media that “We will move the American embassy (from Tel-Aviv) to the eternal capital of the Jewish people, Jerusalem” that Jerusalem will remain forever the Jewish State of Israel’s capital as God intended it to be. 

But most importantly is that Trump does not just talk the good talk about Israel but surrounds himself with staunch pro-Israeli people including Vice President-elect Mike Pence who is a major pro-Israel policymaker; former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (who rightfully called the Palestinians an “invented people”), former New York City Mayor Rudy Guiliani and retired General Mike Flynn all part of the transitional team and all decidedly and unabashedly pro-Israel; as well as former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton who is a huge proponent of a strong U.S./Israel military alliance. And Trump’s Israel affairs advisers David Friedman and Jason Greenblatt are amongst the leading advocates of a must have strong U.S./Israel alliance on all accounts.

And so the man who endorsed BiBi Netanyahu in his latest run for prime minister and said to Israel’s people that “You truly have a great prime minister in Benjamin Netanyahu”...the man, Donald J. Trump, who in 1983 had the Jewish National Fund bestow upon him the Tree of Life Award for his “... dedication to the cause of American-Israeli friendship”...and who pledged that “When I become president, the days of treating Israel like a second-class citizen will end on day one” has now with his win made it possible for the heralding in of a new era of joint Israeli/American cooperation, friendship, and shh...a military alliance...that the Obama administration destroyed...that a Hillary Clinton administration would have sold to the highest bidder.

And lastly, we now have a chance for a thawing of the animosity between Washington and Moscow. In fact, Vladimir Putin sent Donald J. Trump...who has called Putin “a leader”...a telegram congratulating him on winning the presidential election and has publicly stated that he now hopes that relations between the two world powers would improve "from their crisis state” and that he hopes to address some “burning issues that are currently on the international agenda, and search for effective responses to the challenges of the global security”...as in islamic terrorism...adding that he has confidence that “building a constructive dialogue between Moscow and Washington, based on principles of equality, mutual respect and each other's positions, meets the interests of the peoples of our countries and of the entire international community” is now possible.

And Vladimir Putin is right for remember, it was Barack HUSSEIN Obama alone who caused U.S./Russian relations to sink to their lowest point since the Cold War for Obama not only tried to get us to believe that Russia wanted to start World War III but that Russia...not islam...was enemy number one. And thankfully with Trump’s election war with Russia has been averted for Hillary had every intention of taking military action against Russia...starting a war with Russia...who she blamed for all her WikiLeaks woes. But when you really think things through logically do you honestly believe Russia can afford a war on the scale of a world war...a reality check says they cannot because Russia's economy has been brought almost to its knees because of it’s being cut off from the international credit it so desperately needs.

So if Trump is able to restore bilateral relations between Russia and the U.S. it would serve Russia well as it would lead the way to restoring international credit and releasing some if not all sanctions still in place. Also, it might serve a Trump presidency well if we do not continue to get in Russia’s way in regards to their trying to wipe out ISIS in Syria, for Russia knows well who the true enemy is and it’s not Bashar al-Assad as Obama wants us to believe but is the so-called Syrian rebels who are actually tentacles of both ISIS and al-Qaeda.

So now as both ‘We the People’ and our beloved America moves forward into a new era of both reconciliation and renewed leadership on the world stage...as once enemies become friends...as allies stand strong together...as true enemies become recognized and dealt with as they should have always been...we can again relish in congratulating the winners and shout loud and clear for all to hear that the biggest loser of all in this election cycle was not just Hillary Clinton but a media so bought and paid for that they have become a laughing stock on the world stage.

Investigative Report:

Obama's Iran 'Deal' Nothing But Caliphate Cover...Part 3 of 3
By: Diane Sori and Craig Andresen / Right Side Patriots on http://cprworldwidemedia.net/

“There is not value to our allies to see there is a split here in Congress or between Congress and the executive on this issue." 
- Republican turncoat Senator Jeff Flake on why he sold out to the Democratic supporters of Iran's nuclear weapons ambition

Well it's over...'We the People' lost...America lost...and Israel lost. And who won...Iran won...Barack HUSSEIN Obama won...and all who hate America and Israel won...as Senate Democrats, as expected, blocked Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) late addition amendment #2656 53-45...an amendment “to prohibit Obama from waiving, suspending, reducing, providing relief from, or otherwise limiting the application of sanctions pursuant to an agreement related to the nuclear program of Iran”...which would basically stop in full Obama's lifting sanctions on Iran until they released the five Americans hostages they hold as well as their formally recognizing the Jewish State of Israel’s right to exist before this 'very bad deal'...surrender actually...would go into effect.

And thanks to turncoats like Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ) who voted with the GOP on last week's procedural vote but sided with Obama's fellow Democratic traitors when it mattered most, Flake opposed McConnell's amendment saying that “conditions are not serious enough to make this a prerequisite for entering into a deal.” And he said this even though he knows that releasing the hostages as well as supporting Israel's right to exist should have been a non-negotiable must be included item for any deal to go forward from the start. Stating that,“Should a whole agreement be based on those two items? No,” Flake is misguided at best...outright traitorous at worst...as this is not an agreement made in good faith but a surrender to the enemy and he knows it.

And so with Flake's sellout...possibly signaling the end of his political career...the vote garnered just 53 out of the 60 votes needed to stop this nightmare from being passed. In fact, of the four Democratic Senators who came out against the Iran deal itself only Senator Joe Manchin (WV) voted with the Republicans for this amendment. And as this past Thursday was the final day...as per the Congressional Review Act...for Congress to approve a resolution stopping this 'very bad deal'...complete with its release of billions of dollars in sanctions...starts taking effect early next month as the Islamic Republic of Iran sits back and laughs not just as to how they easily pulled the strings of their brethren puppet Obama, but also at how easily they were able to manipulate the P5+1 to do their bidding as well.

Manipulation and then capitulation as none of the P5+1 have actually signed this 'very bad deal' as of yet, but making this whole affair even more ludicrous is the fact that the Iranian government itself has not to date voted on it either, and it looks like they won’t as reports coming out of Tehran indicate that this 'very bad deal' has not even been translated into Persian yet.

And if truth be told, we all know that Tehran has absolutely NO intention on observing any of this 'deal's' guidelines except for those guidelines that provide them with the sort-after cover needed to inspect their own primary facility at Parchin. Other than that, Tehran shows no signs whatsoever of giving a damn about Obama’s deal, in fact, Tehran regards Obama as a narcissist just as we Conservatives do...a narcissist who does things only for his own present political gain as well as for any future political gain he seeks...meaning as head honcho of the U(seless) N(ations) of thugs, thieves, and despots. And know that Tehran regards this 'deal' as nothing more than candy to keep Obama happy with himself, but certainly not a 'deal' by which they must abide...not that there’s much for them to abide by anyway.

The fact is that Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei views this 'deal' as a “proposal to be examined, improved, amended or even rejected by ‘competent authorities,’” and in Tehran, Obama is surely not deemed a 'competent authority' on anything. And Iranian President Hassan Rouhani calls Obama’s 'deal' “nothing but a political document” that has no legal standing in Tehran, and which he has vigorously opposed as ratification and passage in the Iranian parliament would mean the 'deal' would become law, and that is the very last thing Iran wants.

In fact, others in Iran's ruling party have issued statements to the effect that “nothing has been signed and thus nothing is binding,” and Tehran’s chief legal advisor, Dr. Behzad Saberi-Ansari, who was part of the talks in Vienna, has stated that Obama’s 'deal' is...“neither an agreement nor a treaty.” And as a further slap to America's face, Iran’s version of the high court...the Council of the Guardians of the Revolution...stated that “In its present form, the JCPOA (Obama’s 'deal') is nothing but a hyped-up press release stating a number of desired outcomes.”

So it seems that even Tehran’s highest court sees no legally binding value to Obama’s 'deal.' But what about the U.N. Security Council’s Resolution 2231, the one Obama ramrodded through even before Congress had the opportunity to look at the 'deal'...doesn't that carry legal precedent in this farce of a production. Apparently not according to those in power in Iran, because Iran has stated quite unequivocally that they will not accept the U.N. Security Council resolution, and really why should they as they have not paid attention to any of the other U.N. resolutions regarding their nuclear program...and they have gotten away with it all.

Remember, throughout the negotiations it was Iran negotiating with...or should we say dictating to...their terms to the P5+1 and not with the U.N., and now Tehran has absolutely no intention of ceding any of their power to a table full of infidels from other lands...least of all to the land they refer to as “The Great Satan.”

So what we have here is a piece of paper voted on by Congress, soon to be signed by Obama, that bears NO other signatures and holds NO legal bearing on the Islamic Republic of Iran to whom the entire situation is addressed, but one to which we, as the sole signer, must abide. What Congress should have done was, rather than vote on it, simply postponed any vote until Iran signed on first, passed it through their parliament, and it became the law of their land. Until that happens, and it never will, the 'deal' signed by Obama, is nothing but a surrender to Iran and Iran’s goal of building a nuclear arsenal with which they can first attack Israel, “The Little Satan,” and then the United States…“The Great Satan”...and it's all courtesy of our very own traitor-in-chief Barack HUSSEIN Obama.

And while the deadline for voting down the Iran deal has passed, it's been rumored that Congress still has a couple of tricks up its sleeve, but only time will tell if they can pull the proverbial rabbit out of the hat and at least hold Iran's feet to the deal they agreed to. We will let you know if a miracle does happen but we are NOT holding our breath that it will...not with this Congress anyway.
