Op-ed: 
Negotiations on Hold...But for How Long 
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

“Sometimes you have to walk.”
- President Donald Trump's words after the failed Vietnam Summit

It was a summit too many expected too much from...68 years of animosity cannot be expected to end overnight... yet it was a summit that saw truly unrealistic demands being made by one country's leader while the other country's leader held strong by simply walking away. After all, the demands that were made were at best but a bad joke.

So by now we all know that the Vietnam Summit between President Trump and North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un...their second summit in under a year...ended with no agreement being reached regrading denuclearization in exchange for sanctions being lifted. And even though President Trump stated that no fair proposals were made, and with Kim Jong-un of course countering that fair proposals were indeed made but not accepted, thankfully no harsh words of personal condemnation were made by either man.

Simply, President Trump turned his back on negotiations going nowhere and walked away with both a luncheon and the hoped for photo-op signing ceremony being cancelled...a signing ceremony that was to be like last years truly historic diplomatic breakthrough where both Trump and Kim Jong-un signed a document in Singapore agreeing to work towards the "complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula." 
 

Seems the North Korean dictator had his fingers crossed behind his back or at the very least sneakily and ever so calculatedly misled the world...as some of us always expected he would do.

And how right President Trump was to simply walk away because Kim Jong-un not only wanted Trump to lift all...yes all...international sanctions against his country in exchange for the dismantling of his main Yongbyon nuclear facility...one of many nuclear facilities...but Kim Jong-un wanted...demanded...those sanctions be lifted before he would even entertain the prospect of committing to total denuclearization...with total meaning the shutting down of secretive missile and warhead programs as well.

Unacceptable for sure, especially when President Trump simply asked Kim Jong-un to please do more regarding his “intentions to denuclearize,” with Kim's answer being that he was “unprepared to do that” at this point in time. This left our president with no other choice but to end these “dog and pony show” negotiations post-haste while at the same time wisely choosing to end the talks on a somewhat amicable note. This allowed Trump to leave Hanoi and fly back to Washington with the door open for possible future talks between the two men...two men who obviously live in what amounts to being two totally different whelms of both reality and truth.

And by the simple act of Trump's turning his back and walking away...for he is no enemy condoner nor placator as was his predecessor nor will he make what he truly knows is a very bad deal simply to say he made a deal...President Trump actually, but obviously not intentionally, publicly humiliated the man he once referred to as “little rocket man.” I guess Kim Jong-un forgot that while he was making his unreasonable demands that it's we...the United States of America...who call the shots not him. 
 

So what was Kim Jong-un left to do but to try and “save face”...something very important in oriental culture...and he tried to do so by claiming that it was President Trump alone who made an realistic proposal about lifting the sanctions. In fact, adding to Kim's words and in a rare press conference, North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho stated that the original deal put forth at last summer's summit in Singapore was that if even “some of the sanctions” were lifted only then would his country close its Yongbyon nuclear facility. 

Continuing on, Ri Yong Ho added that Kim Jong-un was ready to offer "in writing" a permanent halt of the country’s nuclear and intercontinental ballistic missile tests, and that Washington had wasted an opportunity that “may not come again.”

But we all know or should know that is simply not true as President Trump has always stated that all...as in each and every one...of North Korea's nuclear facilities must be fully dismantled or in the process of being dismantled before any sanctions are lifted, and he has not and will not rightfully waiver from that. 

America first for President Donald J. Trump...always has been...always will be...and was proven by his walking away.

  

So while this newest summit did indeed start on a high note, what with Kim Jong-un alluding during a question-and-answer session that he is "ready to denuclearize," and that, “If I’m not willing to do that, I won’t be here right now,” Kim Jong-un also for the first time answered a U.S. reporter's questions about not only his outlook for this summit...where he stated that, "It's too early to say. I won't make predictions. But I instinctively feel that a good outcome will be produced"...but also answered when asked if he was willing to allow the U.S. to open an office in Pyongyang. Saying, "I think that is something which is welcomable"...left President Trump to state that, "We're in position to do something very special.”

But, unfortunately, as we all know, sometimes things that start off good can end very badly, and this summit was one such thing for in the end it was all about lifting sanctions not about denuclearization, and thus came crashing to a screeching halt.

And that halt led Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who was in Hanoi with President Trump, to say, “We were hoping we could take another big swing when the two leaders got together”...and "We the People" were hoping that as well. Also saying that “lower-level diplomacy between the two sides could resume quickly,” directly led North Korea's Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui to tell reporters that, “Mr. Kim was finding it difficult to understand why the U.S. left the talks,” and that the "young North Korean leader may have lost his will” to continue the talks. 

I guess citing age does have its advantages when one is being pushed into a corner...or so Kim Jong-un thinks.

So where does that leave our two countries at this point in time? First, we must give President Trump high praise for his not backing down or acquiescing to the rogue nation's leader just to keep him at the negotiation table. Second, with Kim Jong-un being pressured not just from the U.S. but from many of the world's nations...nations who are also telling him to dismantle his nuclear weapons program...it's that very international pressure that actually protects us and our allies from seeing a mushroom cloud appear over any of our respective countries.

And to give up that collective pressure before Kim Jong-un does capitulate and gives up his nuclear ambitions... which in the end he will ultimately be forced to do as his country is on the verge of total economic collapse...that giving up would put America, the world, and especially South Koreans...at risk.

How so for South Korea...South Korea desperately wants an actual formal "in writing" end to the Korean War as well as to begin constructive and lasting inter-Korean relations...family reunification most especially...and they believe that can only be accomplished by seeing a nuclear disarmament deal being both secured and put into effect between Washington and Pyongyang. It is as simple as that.

So as this summit ended not as expected, the political fallout here at home continues to ratchet up but surprisingly Congressional leaders, including some key Democrats, are praising President Trump in a surprising show of bipartisanship...but with some caveats that is.

Republicans are rightfully heralding Trump's decision to walk away, with Sen. Lindsey Graham retweeting Trump's, “it's better to walk away than sign a bad deal,” and with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell saying that, “President Trump should be commended for walking away when it became clear insufficient progress has been made on denuclearization.” And McConnell also said that it was “smart" to meet with Kim Jong-un in both Singapore and Vietnam to show him the "economic prosperity" that is possible for his country if North Korea abandons its nuclear and missile programs.

And on the Democrat side there's Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who is usually out for Trump's blood, saying that President Trump surely “did the right thing by walking away and not cutting a poor deal for the sake of a photo op.” Then there's former Vice-President Joe Biden who while speaking at the University of Nebraska said that, “The president did the right thing by walking away." Even Obama's infamous National Security Advisor Susan Rice, also no fan of President Trump, stated in an NPR interview that, "For the United States to have agreed to lift all sanctions in the absence of real and complete denuclearization would have been a tremendous mistake."

But the infamous Nancy Pelosi played it both ways by first saying, “Mr. Trump was right not to take a bad deal,” but added that Mr. Kim was the “big winner” for having secured two personal summits with an American president and easing his country’s “pariah status” without having made any significant concessions. 
 
Can't let your hatred for President Trump go can you Nancy...Hillary lost...please for our country's sake get over it already.

In fact, some on both sides of the political aisle have said that President Trump actually “enhanced his bargaining position” by showing both the North Koreans and all the world that he was more than willing to risk short-term setbacks to achieve positive long-term goals...paramount of which is North Korea's total denuclearization. And what many seem to forget is that there needs to be not just a beginning, but a middle, and an end to diplomacy before any final and lasting agreement can be reached.

So while both sides are now licking their wounds, so to speak, after having returned to their respective home countries, they need to access the damages done by a summit gone bust. And as far as President Trump is concerned the only faux par...the only mistake...I believe he made was in taking Kim Jong-un's word that he did not know about the brutal treatment received by Otto Warmbier, the American college student who in 2016 was "detained"...jailed actually...in North Korea only to be returned to the U.S. in a coma in 2017, and who died soon afterward. Saying he will "take [Kim] at his word" that he was unaware of the torture was surely not a wise thing for our president to say about a man who for sport routinely murders his own people...that man's word should never be trusted nor believed.

But I wonder though if President Trump, the very man who secured Otto Warmbier's release, truly believes Kim Jong-un or was he somehow told to say what he said in order to keep the negotiations on track...only time will tell I guess.

And as for Kim Jong-un, even he has to know that it would make no sense for North Korea to exit negotiations at this stage of the game, or to start making threats, or even resume provocative acts like launching missiles into the Sea of Japan. His country's economy is in serious trouble, truly on the verge of collapse, and his people are starving...and starving people can only take so much before even they will start to fight back. And dare Kim Jong-un forget public perception for to act up now would only prove to the world that President Trump was correct for not trusting Kim’s assertions of his good intentions and improved behavior.

And while he cannot show outward weakness per se...he must “save face” after all...Kim Jong-un has not yet said "no" to another chance for negotiations...negotiations that have not been shutdown just sidetracked for awhile. And things can surely get back on track if only Kim would both stop lying and stop taking his "marching orders" from China. Kim Jong-un must instead start listening to the U.S., for on some level even he knows that his and North Korea's only hope for the future lies with America and with President Trump, and not with a country who would throw him under the proverbial bus if need and necessity be.

It cannot be said any clearer or more directly than that.

Op-ed:
A Deafening Silence
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on http://cprworldwidemedia.net/

Genesis 12:3: “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”

For 45 seconds he held his stare...a deeply penetrating and chilling stare...and in that stare were the eyes of six million Jews coming back to haunt the souls of men...as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave one of the most powerful speeches ever given before the United Nations. And on this administration's orders if you will, America's U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power and Secretary of State John 'Swiftboat' Kerry were of course NOT there to hear it.

See Benjamin Netanyahu's 45 seconds of silence here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVnNuhKJKMI

And so the words of the world's last great statesman played on largely deaf ears for many delegates had already gotten up and walked out even before the first words ever crossed Netanyahu's lips...yet his icy stare shamed them all for their complicity of silence in wanting to have the Jewish State of Israel wiped off the map. And with this newest snub proving to be just another in a long line of snubs by the U.N. and its member nations, Israel still righteously continues its sentinel watch, but know that Israel now stands alone in keeping the demons from hell at bay.

“Israel is civilization’s frontline in the battle against barbarism,” were Netanyahu's exact words yet Israel...the only member nation NOT allowed to sit on any of the U.N. special committees and the only member nation condemned by the U.N. time and again for simply defending itself...is like Netanyahu stated, “defending you”...meaning that without Israel as a buffer the entirety of the Middle East would have long ago fallen to those out to kill us all. And in Netanyahu's saying that the Iran deal “doesn’t make peace more likely, but by giving Iran billions of dollars in sanctions relief the deal makes war more likely,” he spoke a truth that few want to hear...a truth that should be even more obvious with the recent incursion of Iranian ground troops into the escalating Syrian conflict.

See Benjamin Netanyahu's entire speech before the U.N. here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3Hm3voRryY

And Netanyahu spoke a truth that told of Iran already having delivered SA-22s and Yakhount missiles to Hezbollah in Lebanon in order to target and reign down missiles on Israel; he spoke a truth of Iran already having built armed drones for Hamas and the Islamic Jihad in Gaza; he spoke a truth about Iran promising to arm Palestinians in the West Bank and having already sent Iranian Revolutionary Guard generals into the Golan Heights; he spoke a truth without him having to say the words that Israeli's have every right to fear for Israel's survival...because sadly...Netanyahu's and Israel's truth seems to be the world's hope for Israel's destruction.

“The greatest danger facing our world is the coupling of militant Islam with nuclear weapons,” Netanyahu said, quickly adding, “And I'm greatly concerned that the deal with Iran could be the marriage certificate of this unholy union,” knowing full well that the savages at Israel's door will NOT stop there for once that door is opened many more doors opening will surely follow until the enemy stands at the door to America with Obama's already laid out welcome mat beckoning them to enter.

“Perhaps you’d be more reluctant to celebrate if the deal threatened your neighborhood,” Netanyahu said, reminding those present that Iran’s ICBMs were NOT being built for Israel who they can already reach, but were being built for targets both in Europe and America, “for raining down mass destruction, anytime, any- where.” And so the man who knew well that he was NOT only hated by those still present in the room, but that his country and his people will be forever blamed as being the root cause of all the world's troubles, now rightfully remains defiant in the face of all the fools and madmen running the world's governments today, as he stands alone as the sole voice of reason amongst the turmoil that marks the Middle East.

And know that even while he stands strong Benjamin Netanyahu is angry...very angry...for he's afraid for Israel...afraid for his people who once before were left to fend for themselves by a world that looked away. “70 years after the murder of six-million Jews, Iran’s rulers promised to destroy my country, murder my people, and the response from this body, the response from nearly every one of the governments represented here, has been absolutely nothing...” Netanyahu said, stressing how these very same nations are NOT only looking away from a truth that defines his people's past, but are now looking away from a truth that affects us all for instead of that truth coming dressed in helmets and polished boots, that truth now comes dressed in the garb of those who embrace 7th century ideologies and hatreds, and who thanks to Obama and crew, will soon be equipped with 21st weapons.

And sadly, Benjamin Netanyahu knows well that our miserable excuse of a president has abandoned NOT only Israel's safety and security but America's safety and security as well, but he also knows and has known ever since Obama's allegiances were made clear, that if need be Israel will go it alone in defending herself against those who threaten her with destruction. “Your plan to destroy Israel will fail,” he said, looking straight into the cameras as he sent a strong and uncompromising message to the rulers of Iran that NO force on Earth will threaten Israel’s future...that Israel...that he Benjamin Netanyahu...will do whatever it takes to defend the Jewish state and her people.

And 'We the People' know well what Benjamin Netanyahu means...and 'We the People' accept as fact that this brave man of valor, honor, and strength, will do what he says he will do if NO other options remain. But we also know that now, much to Obama's chagrin, that new and very important partnerships and alliances are being forged by Israel with its more moderate neighboring Arab nations who have just as much to lose if the enemy known as ISIS comes knocking on their doors.

And even though Netanyahu knows that the alliance and friendship...or what's left of it...between Israel and the U.S. must remain strong...he also knows that while the American people support the Jewish state and the Jewish people our government as it stand now does NOT...and it seems that will be the status-quo until Barack HUSSEIN Obama is NO longer America's president.

And proof of that lies with the fact that the U.S. was represented at Netanyahu's speech only by our Ambassador to Israel, Daniel Shapiro, and by U.S. Alternate Representatives to the United Nations, David Pressman and Richard Erdman. The two who should have been there, Ambassador Samantha Power and John 'Swiftboat' Kerry, were in a hastily arranged slap-in-face-to Israel video teleconference with Obama mere blocks away from where Netanyahu was speaking. And while the audience at the General Assembly interrupted Netanyahu’s speech several times with applause, these very same U.S. delegates kept their hands in their laps and their bodies in their seats...and know Benjamin Netanyahu will NOT forget this especially on the day he orders Israel to go it alone and do what needs to be done to keep Israel safe from those out to do her harm.

And on that day I too will stand strong with Benjamin Netanyahu and with the Jewish people for as Ezekiel 37:21 says, "Thus says the Lord GOD: ‘Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own Land,’" for all men of conscious, whether Christian of Jew, know as Benjamin Netanyahu said, “The days when the Jewish people remain passive in the face of genocidal enemies...those days are over”...that Israel will remain forever and a day the land of the Jews as promised to them by God...and that NO man...that NO nation...dare to take away what God the Father has given.

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.

Three Issues Soon to be Decided...Part 3 of 3
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on CPR Worldwide Media cprworldwidemedia.net 

"The intent of everybody here -- the P5+1, the European Union, Iran -- is to stay until we get this done, or find out we can't. And our intent is to get it done." 
 - Words of an unnamed U.S. official in regards to reaching a deal with Iran by the now extended June 30th deadline.

In part 1 of this 3 part series, I discussed what was still at that time the upcoming SCOTUS decision on same-sex marriage (and the High Court has now upheld same-sex marriage in all 50 states); in part 2, I discussed how we were blindsided by the SCOTUS decision coming down in support of the anything but Affordable Care Act...aka ObamaCare; and now in the part 3, I will discuss the officially extended June 30th deadline for what is being called 'a few more days'...or if we walk away from the table...as we rightfully should...but most likely will NOT.

And so if this final accord between Iran and the P5+1 goes through, Barack HUSSEIN Obama will agree to a very questionable and oh so 'complex' 40-50 page long plus appendices agreement that will NOT keep Iran's nuclear ambitions in check, but will actually enable Iran to become a nuclear power...that is if they aren't already one...albeit one currently without a dependable delivery system. But North Korea and China...the very same China that is a member of the P5+1...are working to remedy that even as I write this...and do NOT let anyone try to fool you otherwise.

Still to be worked out...that is if we believe the scuttle-but being released by the media...is an exact timetable for sanctions relief; the actual disarmament steps by which Iran must rid itself of its current uranium stockpile; a binding promise to halt any and all future nuclear weapons research along with a halt to the development of newer and faster centrifuges; and also how possible violations by either side will be handled, including how UN sanctions might be reinstated if need be.

And know that sanctions relief is first and foremost Iran's main goal because said sanctions have choked Iran's economy and limited their access to world oil markets, but know that these sanctions are the one thing we can hold as leverage over Iran's head...that is if we were negotiating a 'real' deal and NOT a sellout to the enemy. A sellout that even has some of Obama's former military and foreign policy advisers outwardly voicing major disapproval over certain terms that seem to have already been 'secretly' reached ahead of the now extended deadline.

"The agreement will not prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapons capability," said a letter signed by former CIA Director David Petraeus, former White House Iran advisor Dennis Ross, former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. James Cartwright, and others, who called for Obama...but were as to be expected met with 'so-called' deaf ears...to NOT only take an even harder stance on lifting sanctions, but to include in the actual wording of any deal reached that NO sanctions will be lifted until Iran completely complies with all terms of said deal. In fact, the letter also states that new sanctions should be prepared and ready to go ahead of time just in case Iran does NOT abide by the agreement...and we know that this would be the most likely scenario.

Now add into this very 'hot' mix that mere days before what was to be the June 30th deadline, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ...the ultimate arbiter of all matters concerning Iran's nuclear program...has reiterated what Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif''s deputy Abbas Araqchi recently said to the press about some of the 'solutions' found in the April 2nd Lausanne framework deal NO longer working because after Lausanne certain countries within the P5+1 have now made declarations of change in their position which he claims “complicates the task” at hand. 
 
And to that affect Khamenei has now made a series of demands...'red lines' of his own...as to what will be the final terms he will have Iran agree to...with those terms being an 'immediate' end to all UN and U.S. economic sanctions thus allowing Iran to gain relief from billions of dollars in economic penalties; that Iranian military sites including ‘security and defensive’ sectors will NOT allow even 'managed access' to international inspections; that there will be NO long-term halt on nuclear research; and that NO IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) interviews with any persons having any connections to Iran’s nuclear program will be allowed...demands that are a direct 180 turn from the P5+1 'supposedly' non-negotiable demands that NO lifting of the sanctions will be done until after the IAEA confirms that Iran is abiding by the deal; that a lasting limitation of Iran’s nuclear capacities in research and production is agreed to; that a 'rigorous,' on-going, and unhindered inspection of military sites must be allowed; and that a mechanism to quickly reimpose sanctions is in place before they would sign on the dotted line.

So, in other words, whatever the P5+1 wants Iran has said NO to but as it stands now Obama... through his mouthpiece John 'Swiftboat' Kerry...will most likely say YES to.

And why...because Barack HUSSEIN Obama wants a deal signed at any cost, after all it's all about his immediate legacy and current agenda as we head into the 2016 election, but know that if this deal goes through with Iran having the upper hand that Obama's ultimate legacy will show that he led America to make a deal with the devil. And know that any agreement Obama makes with this rogue and oh so dangerous nation gives them legitimacy in the eyes of the world as it allows for a military dimension to be added into the Iranian claimed 'peaceful nuclear' mix, thus putting regional power into the hands of the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism (in fact a recently published U.S. State Department report on terror activity noted that Iran's “state sponsorship of terrorism worldwide remained undiminished”) and of human rights violations; it directly puts our ally Israel in the cross hairs; it strengthens the mullahs already all-consuming grip on power; and most importantly it affords Iran the chance to become a full-fledged, in-our-face, nuclear power...again if they are NOT already one. This is what Iran wants and make NO mistake this is also what Obama wants for he, like the Iranian regime, is an islamist at heart.

An islamist at heart proven time and again by Obama's concession after concession in his goal to reach an agreement NO matter how bad that agreement is for our country or for our allies. Starting with the sanctions...sanctions that should only be lifted after Iran has proven over time to be upholding their part of the deal...now has Obama acquiescing to lifting any sanctions NOT directly related to Iran’s nuclear program; continues with his doing away with the the requirement that Iran disclose all previous nuclear activity which means that IAEA inspectors cannot establish a true 'baseline' for future inspections; and ends with his suddenly but NOT unexpectedly vacillating on the P5+1 demand that inspections of military sites be done by the IAEA coupled with their having unlimited access to Iran's scientists. And these are all critical to both monitoring the agreement and to checking whether Iran is cheating by secretly pursuing an 'under the radar' nuclear weapons program...and again are all things Obama appears to be giving in on.

And so it becomes increasingly apparent that the words of Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, a former senior military intelligence advisor to Obama ring very true when he states that the deal being worked on “suffers from severe deficiencies as Iran has every intention to build a nuclear weapon.”

YES they do...Obama knows this but simply does NOT care. And to make this so-wanted farce of a deal even more grievous is the fact that now Obama wants to give Iran high-tech, light-water nuclear reactors...even as they continue marching through the streets of Tehran shouting “Death to America” and "Death to Israel." As per details in a leaked thus NO longer confidential document that is part of the appendices titled 'Civil Nuclear Cooperation,' Obama promises said reactors if Iran ceases operations at its almost completed heavy-water facility at Arak...and he's claiming that reducing...NOT eliminating...Arak's plutonium output was always one of the primary goals of the U.S. and its negotiating partners. But pray tell how does giving the enemy the very thing they need stop them from attaining their goal as it is quite easy to reconfigure light-water reactors into the nuclear needed heavy-water reactors...but Obama knows this and just does NOT care...of that I'm sure.

And so with the deadline for this farce of a deal being extended for 'a few more days' it becomes apparent that while Khamenei is holding fast to his demands that nuclear-research restrictions, delayed sanctions relief, and open inspections would be a deal killer, John 'Swiftboat' Kerry tap dances...on crutches...around the fact that with Obama's leaked promise to give nuclear reactors to America's enemy NO matter that the talks are but a 'dog and pony' show...NO matter if a 'real' deal is even reached...a spokesman for the Iranian delegation confirmed...a spokesman with his fingers crossed behind his back as in can you say taqiyya...that “because there is still lots of work to do the delegations will remain beyond...(July 1) to continue the negotiations and reach a good overall deal.”

And to that I say a good deal for Iran but a bad deal...a very bad deal...for the rest of the world. But what can you expect when a traitor occupies the White House, a traitor is America's head negotiator, and we have a lily-livered 'supposedly' Republican controlled Congress who while they still must approve any deal will assuredly cave into White House pressure as they are headed by the likes of RINOS John Boehner and Mitch McConnell...and to that sadly all I can do is sigh...
