[ April 16, 2024 ]
President Donald Trump recently tweeted that the Barack Obama administration had handed out U.S. citizenship to 2,500 Iranians — and among were senior level regime officials.
And the traitorous hits from Obama just keep on coming.
The question is: How many of these senior level regime officials are close associates of Hassan Rouhani? How many are family members?

Good questions.
MEMRI has more on this:
On July 3, 2018, U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted that the Obama administration had given U.S. citizenship to 2,500 Iranians, among them government officials, as part of understandings in the bilateral nuclear talks. The issue of U.S. citizenship for Iranians was reported on in the past by Iranian elements on both sides of the Iranian political spectrum.
In February 2016, against the backdrop of the Trump administration’s preventing citizens from certain Muslim countries, including Iran, from entering the U.S., the reformist website Amadnews.org reported that then-Secretary of State John Kerry had ordered green cards issued to 2,800 Iranian, Iraqi, and Syrian citizens – among them, it said, senior Iranian regime officials and associates of the government of Iranian President Hassan Rohani. Amadnews added that according to its sources, this was done so that the Iranian officials would be able to control the Iranian assets that were frozen in the U.S.
In June 2018, Mojtaba Zolnour, head of the Nuclear Committee of the Majlis National Security Committee, who is known for his criticism of Iran’s pragmatic camp and of the Rohani government, demanded an investigation to determine who among the 2,500 Iranians he said had been granted U.S. citizenship were associates and relatives of associates of the Rohani government.
It should be noted that in 2015, Secretary of State Kerry promised Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif that U.S. immigration laws passed by the Obama administration in 2011 preventing anyone who had visited Iran from entering the country, among them businessmen, would not be negatively impacted by the laws and would receive special waivers to enter the country. See Kerry’s letter to Foreign Minister Zarif as published by the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), Sec. Kerry Letter to Zarif Regarding Visa Waiver Reform; see also the letter by members of Congress to Kerry and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson expressing “deep concern” over this move.
The following are the main points of the article by Amadnews and of the statements by Mojtaba Zolnour, head of the Nuclear Committee of the Majlis National Security Committee.
Amadnews: Obama Administration Agreed To Grant Green Cards To 2,800 Iranians
On February 17, 2016, the Iranian reformist website Amadnews[1] stated that a secret document of the nuclear understandings between the U.S. and Iran sets out the Obama administration’s agreement to grant green cards to 2,800 individuals with Iranian, Iraqi, and Syrian citizenship, on direct orders from Secretary of State John Kerry. The following is the translation of the Amadnews report:
“A knowledgeable source has informed Amadnews that one of the secret documents of the nuclear understanding between Iran and the American administration of Barack Obama [sets out] the granting of a green card to 2,800 individuals with Iranian, Iraqi, or Syrian citizenship, with the consent of the government of Iran and on direct orders by then-Secretary of State John Kerry.
“The granting of a green card to these 2,800 people is aimed at keeping billions of dollars of the Iranian Republic’s funds in America.
“Furthermore, the mosque in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles was recognized as a huge Iranian investment in America.
“The exposure of these documents, that constituted a precondition for the JCPOA, prompted President Trump’s desire to confiscate Iran’s great fortune and prevent those with Iranian passports from entering America.
“This understanding between the Islamic Republic [of Iran] and President Obama caused Iranian officials to claim that [President] Trump’s move to temporarily prevent those with Iranian passports from entering America violated the JCPOA.
“Iran concluded with the Obama administration that instead of billions of dollars belonging to the Iranian public being sent back to Iran and being invested in development and construction there, they would remain in the U.S. financial system and would be registered there in the names of Iranian officials and in the name of some IRGC commanders, and would be invested in certain investments [in the U.S.] provided that permanent [American] residency would also be given to these people.
“The new American administration, led by Donald Trump, had no intention of returning this huge fortune to Iran. He could prevent these people from entering [the U.S.] and take this national fortune out of Iran’s hands.
“Apparently, the noise and uproar by the pro-Iran lobbying organization NIAC, headed by Trita Parsi, is connected to this matter, because [NIAC] has received several million dollars in order to lead and administer these protests against Donald Trump’s scheme [i.e. preventing citizens of seven Muslim countries, including Iran, from entering the U.S.]
“The disagreements among Iranian officials over the scope of the Iranian fortune blocked in America prior to the implementation of the JCPOA, as well as ‘the need for obtaining the nuclear agreement’ in order to regain Iran’s fortune, are among the issues that were extensively disputed in the media and by influential figures during and after the signing of the JCPOA.
“These numbers differed widely until, on July [17,] 2017, the Tabnak website published an article titled ‘What Is the Total Sum of Iran’s Funds Blocked [In the U.S.] – $29 Billion or $130 Billion?’ This article expressed criticism, stating: ‘What is the total sum of our blocked fortune, that is meant to be regained by Iran following the implementation of the JCPOA? Why does everyone involved in this matter give a different sum? Why are there so many statements and disagreements, by both domestic and foreign elements, on the matter of these blocked funds?'[2]
“The source [that provided Amadnews with the information about this affair] concluded by stating that several months before the end of the Obama administration, some holders of an Iranian, Iraqi, or Syrian passport had managed to obtain an American green card as a group and to purchase homes in Los Angeles valued at over $2 million [apiece].
“The source further noted that the child of Masoumeh Ebtekar, head of the Department of Environment [who was spokeswoman for the Iranian students in the 1979 taking of hostages at the U.S. Embassy and vice president under Iranian president Mohammad Khatami, and who is today vice president to Rohani] was one of these 2,800 people.”[3]
Mojtaba Zolnour, Head Of Nuclear Committee Of Majlis National Security Committee: Who In The Iranian Regime Was Granted U.S. Citizenship?
On June 26, 2018, the Iranian daily Etemaad published an interview with Mojtaba Zolnour, head of the Nuclear Committee of the Majlis National Security Committee, in which he said: “President Rohani’s son has citizenship in three countries: Canada, the UK, and Iran. Is [President Rohani] capable of focusing domestically and of advancing Iranian goods? At the time of the JCPOA talks, Obama decided to treat the [Iranian] gentlemen and give 2,500 of them citizenship. Some of the gentlemen and senior officials started to compete to see who of their sons would be among these 2,500. If these people are expelled from America, it will be clear who they are in contact with and why they are selling the national interests for American sweets.
“I do not know who these people are [among the 2,500 who he said were granted American citizenship]; perhaps some of them are not members of the current government. We have not yet professionally examined this matter, and these people may turn out to be from every stream in Iran. There must be transparency. It should be stated explicitly who of the sons of Iranian regime officials is living in America, or has received American citizenship.”[4] …

IF even numb nuts Secretary Jeh Johnson was “deeply concerned” you know these are terrible people. Look like they are hurting financially. BILLIONS of dollars is significant. There must be a way of REVOKING citizenship for ALL these people. I hope Jeff Sessions is looking into this. This is not kosher and not good for us.

This is not within the purview of the DOJ (jeffy). It would be for State. Either Pompeo or the president, himself. Even if Sessions wanted to do something, he cannot.

That has to do with perpetrating fraud on a citizenship application. Went to court and judge made the ruling, not Sessions. If you want something done, on this matter, get on Pompeo and Trump. This one ain’t a Session’s deal.

Good point.
Sessions is actually an excellent AG for everything except the most important thing, which is cleaning out barnacles left over from the Soebarkah regime from the Justice Dept. payroll and stopping the slow-motion attempted coup against Trump.
He’s kind of like a heart surgeon who is superb at everything except actually going into the OR and operating on people’s hearts.

At the end of a full and exhaustive investigative / prosecutorial process that will leave no rock unturned (maximum 18 months) that will unfortunately be able to take place only after AG Sessions is replaced… BHO and many of his top echelon WH / DNC / deep state cronies, must face charges of High Treason for the concoction of the corrupt Iranian deal, ‘Uranium One’ and letting HRC off the hook of criminal indictments but most of all! their (probably…) failed attempt to illegally remove a sitting, duly elected POTUS!!!! (a Treasonous / seditious / subversive effort that is STILL ongoing with the corrupt Mueller “investigation”!!)
After all will be said and done (proven guilty of high Treason in a US federal Court > failed USSC appeal), BHO, US first (and hopefully last) Islamo – Nazi POTUS, should be executed by lethal injection!

The never-ending witch-hunt to usurp Trump’s Presidency by the loathsome and treasonous FBI’s Mueller is to deflect from the true seditionist and traitor Barack Hussein Obama. Obama has evaded indictment while continuing to undermine, subvert this Republic. The inner sanctum of the Democrats, not to dismiss some Republicans; the treasonous FBI, the DOJ, and others have enabled his seditionist intent and his unabashed fraternization, collusion, conspiracy with a Terrorist State, Iran. Obama’s granting Green Cards to senior Iranian Regime officials is beyond the pale, unmitigated treason, worthy of indictment and imprisonment.
Corruption, perfidy is the base edict of the Democrats, progressive liberalism or any variety of leftists’ cause. The menacing Democrats’ alliance with radicalized and so-called moderate Islam overlooked while President Trump is continuously condemned, castigated, and torpedoed by the above seditionists and the Fifth Column, MSM.
The enemy is embedded cancer-like into the gut of this Constitutional Republic; the Democrats, progressives and their Gestapo, the FBI.

Sessions: I Have ‘Highest Confidence’ in Rosenstein,
I’d Like Congress to Focus on ‘Legal Challenges’
By Ian Hanchett 26 Jul 201815,224
While speaking on Thursday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions expressed “the highest confidence” in Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and praised him as “highly capable.” He also urged Congress to focus on “legal challenges” like immigration.
Sessions said, “My deputy, Rod Rosenstein, is highly capable. I have the highest confidence in him. You probably know, not only did he go to the Wharton School of business, but he graduated from Harvard right here in this area.”

Great post Ziggy.. But it’s too late because for 40 years the New World Order & Global Jihad Caliphate has controlled the US ; Government- Media and Educational systems – and turned 99% of Americans into zombies .. The only solution to defeat the advancing & infiltrated armies of sharia law is : Massive deportation back to the middle east – followed by massive neutron bombing to totally destroy the military and industrial infrastructures of all 56 nations of the ( Organization of Islamic Cooperation ) – Then permanently seize control of all assets of these 56 terror states .. Anyone that does not get this is a Mind Controlled – brain dead zombie…

We only have around 3.3 million moslems. However, if you spaced the gallows out, propitiously, it could be border to border and sea to shining sea. I-80, east to west, and I-35 north to south. Des Moines is right at the cross-roads. Of course, live stream and televising … We don’t want the housebound to miss out on the fun.

Many days, the USDA recorded slaughter of butcher hogs (barrows and gilts, not including boars and sows) exceeds four hundred thousand. I realize that hogs don’t smell anywhere nearly as bad as a moslem, but hanging the moslems … open air, shouldn’t prove that noxious, smell wise. Convert? You would take a moslems word? Not I.

Amen, good post, Steve Brown, forty years is right. The NWO machination started at least 40 years ago. The Liberal progressive scum/Democrats learned from the errors of the 60s, 70s; they have honed their plot and schemes, as said, infesting our educational system government and the Fifth Column, the MSM. Brain dead Zombies are controlling much of our above mentioned, Frankenstein-like, controlled by handlers who in turn are under control by the like of Obama, Soros and others. One wonders how people can be so ignorant, imbecilic and gullible; a drone’s or zombie’s life is the easy way than holding responsibility and accountability for one’s life.
It will come down to a Civil War and in time an out and out World War. The Termination of the Muslim alliance with the Democrats and the alleged democracies of the West is a must. Overthrowing not merely Islam but the perfidious Democrats in America and the autocracies of Canada, the UK, and the fetid EU. I don’t profess expertise in the Bible, far from it but as said, It is Written.

It’s strange, I thought Obama favored Sunni Muslims, because he helped fund the armed opposition in Syria? Indonesia is also Sunni. But apparently he favored the Shi’ites as well?

The indoctrination of our children has been going on for a long time and now we see the vile fruits of it. America may be doomed.
This is outrageous, those who promoted it should be imprisoned! This is a NY high school test from the university regents:
http://www.nysedregents.org/globalhistorygeography/Archive/20100817-gh-examw.pdf
This is from page 13 ” . . Wherever they went, the Moslems brought with them their love of art, beauty, and learning.
From about the eighth to the eleventh century, their culture was superior in many ways to that
of western Christendom.
Some of the finest centers of Moslem life were established in Spain. In Cordova, the streets
were solidly paved, while at the same time in Paris people waded ankle-deep in mud after a rain.
Cordovan public lamps lighted roads for as far as ten miles; yet seven hundred years later there
was still not a single public lamp in London!
Some Spanish Moslems had homes with marble balconies and courts with lovely waterfalls.
Bedrooms were vaulted with stained glass and speckled with gold. And metal pipes carried water
into marble baths.
Nearly every mosque had a public school in which the children of the poor were taught. Many
Moslem libraries were excellent; the catalogue of one caliph’s library filled forty volumes. In
addition, the followers of Mohammed achieved much in science, particularly in chemistry,
astronomy, mathematics, and medicine. . . .
