It seems like every week there is more bad news for former president Obama. The things he was able to keep under wraps as president are now slowly leaking as Trump works to drain the swamp. In fact, there hasn’t been a bit of good news for 44 since his protégé, Hillary Clinton, lost the election.
What’s crazy is how the apologists stand by him in the face of it all. Sure, Trump has said a lot of mean things, but when you compare their actions, there is no question as to their natures. Obama directly, deliberately funded terrorism on multiple occasions. Instead of chanting “lock her up,” we should be demanding to lock him up. Let me show you.
The Iran Deal
You’ve heard plenty about this travesty already. Pretty much everyone knows that the roughly $2 billion in cash that Obama gave to Iran was used to fund terrorism. A whole list of groups worked to destabilize regions like Yemen, murder infidels and generally bolster Iran’s influence throughout the Middle East. The payout was literally blood money, and Obama has faced no repercussions for it. It’s disgusting.
What many people don’t know is that this was actually a lesser evil in Obama’s dealings with Iran. Besides the cash payout, he also worked to unfreeze assets. That alone could be considered reasonable negotiating, but the details around it are damning.
First, Obama and his cronies did all of this before the nuclear deal was signed. That means he directly violated American and international sanctions, and he did it all while telling Congress the opposite.
What’s even worse is that these illegal monetary efforts were to the tune of $6 billion. Like the cash he gave Iran, this channeled money has been linked to terrorist and illegal activities throughout the Middle East. It’s no exaggeration to say that countless innocents died as a result of this action. If this were Obama’s only crime, it would be enough to merit an international tribunal. Sadly, this is the top of the list.
Fast and Furious
This is another story that most people at least partially understand. Under the guise of a sting operation, Obama officials funneled guns to cartels in Mexico. While previous stings had used similar tactics to some levels of success, Fast and Furious was riddled with corruption. In the end, ATF and other U.S. law enforcement helped cartels obtain illegal weapons. That’s already bad.
What’s worse is that the justification for these actions didn’t hold true. They weren’t able to take down any significant parts of the cartels through these stings.
Of course, all of that pales in comparison to the ultimate crime committed here. An American Border Patrol Agent was brutally murdered by weapons supplied by Obama’s people to the cartels. Once again, Obama supplied means to terrorists, and the result was a loss of innocent life. His hands are irrevocably stained in blood.
A Big Check to Al-Qaeda
Now that we’ve covered the well-known crimes, we’ll get into darker territory. This story only recently broke. We now know with certainty that the Obama Administration cut a check to the primary financial backers of Al-Qaeda. The group is known as ISRA, and they were deemed a terrorist organization as far back as 2004. They are also largely credited with founding Al-Qaeda and funding multiple terrorist groups.
The details of this story go back to Sudan in 2014. As part of a humanitarian effort, Obama approved roughly $700,000 in aid to a group known as USAID. That all seems fine. Before the money cleared, members of the Treasury Department noted that part of USAID’s ledger included giving $200,000 of that money to ISRA. The Department made this known to Obama and his people. At that point, they approved the check. They knowingly, willingly, deliberately gave $200,000 to Al-Qaeda’s best financial support group.
After that, they approved additional aid to go to the same group. While not all of the money can be cleanly tracked, we know for certain that at least some of those funds were used to pay for terrorist activity. That’s strike three Mr. Obama. But, we’re not done yet.
Hezbollah Trafficking
In perhaps the greatest crime committed by Obama and his Administration, they actively worked to keep Hezbollah trafficking channels open. This story is so bad that it even ran on Politico — clearly condemning Obama and his people. When even the far left admits that Obama did something bad, you know it’s completely unjustifiable.
In 2008, the DEA put together a special team to track Hezbollah’s international crime syndicate. Over a span of several years, they managed to infiltrate and document the whole thing. They had clear proof of international crimes, and they were ready to move forward with operations that would draw key Hezbollah leaders into countries where they could be apprehended. The team had done their task and they were primed to actually take Hezbollah down.
But, when they applied to get these plans approved, they were stonewalled by the Obama Administration. Obama’s CIA director went as far as to try and justify the evils of this terrorist organizations in an attempt to stall any action by the special task force.
What was really happening? Obama feared that taking down Hezbollah would stall or destroy his negotiations in the Iran nuclear deal. So, Hezbollah’s $600 billion syndicate was left intact. They successfully funneled arms from Russia to Syria and Iraq, and their efforts helped Assad, ISIS and other terrible regimes kill tens of thousands in the Middle East– perhaps even hundreds of thousands.
All of this blood is on Obama’s hands, and he did it to push forward the Iran nuclear deal. This is a deal that doesn’t actually inhibit Iran’s nuclear program. Instead, it sanctions their right to keep nuclear material and develop ballistic missiles. It also included multiple cash packages that have directly funded terrorism. Obama saved Hezbollah in order to guarantee the autonomy of the most dangerous extremist regime in the world. Even more, he added nuclear rights to that autonomy.
That’s the short list. I’m sure that in time we’ll learn of even more terrors, but this is more than enough. Obama has carried out war crimes that make Kim Jong-Il and Saddam Hussein look like amateurs. Simply put, he is the godfather of global terrorism.
