Yesterday it was reported (here) that the US and (terror sponsor) Qatar were halting the obscene six billion dollar payout to Iran. Now that appears to be a ruse. “Money being fungible, Iran could repurpose what it has already allocated to those governmental needs — i.e., use it to support terrorist operations by Hamas, Hezbollah, and its other jihadist proxies.”
U.S. officials and the Qatari government have agreed to stop Iran from accessing a $6 billion account for humanitarian assistance in light of Hamas’s attack on Israel, Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo told House Democrats on Thursday. The deal, financed by Iranian oil sales, allowed Iranian entities — not the Iranian government — to access the funds, and only if they provided extensive documentation showing the money will be used for humanitarian purposes. U.S. officials would have to approve each transaction under the agreement. The money had been transferred to Qatar from banks in South Korea to facilitate the arrangement (Washington Post).
The Post’s report does not say that Qatar is refusing to disburse the funds to third parties at Iran’s direction, or that the transfer of the $6 billion is otherwise rescinded. Unless that happens, this announced agreement with Qatar would just be a feint. The issue has never been Iran’s direct access to the funds. It is whether Iran can benefit from them. Obviously, whether Iran possesses the funds or can decide to whom Qatar can disburse the funds, it would have the capacity to spend them on its governmental needs. Money being fungible, Iran could repurpose what it has already allocated to those governmental needs — i.e., use it to support terrorist operations by Hamas, Hezbollah, and its other jihadist proxies (National Review).

Nobody in the world of diplomacy respects this corrupt clown. He hasn’t has a single original idea, his entire life. He even has to plagiarise other people’s work. All this aside from stealing the elections. America is paying the price for their stupidity.

This guy’s facial expression harbors no good. Scary, indeed. It is the face of a frustrated, incompetent life-long YES MAN having a spoiled brat baby’s temper tantrum. Like .. ‘”I want my chocolate-chip ice cream!!!” Yet, too, this foto resembles that of many of those crazed dictators from the past and present. It calls out for psychological examination.

QATAR is the Terrorist HQ in the Gulf. It’s Just a Ruse .Iran get he 6 Billion an dmuch,much more and with oil approaching#100/bl it will be a lot more.
Like the COVID attack, this slaughter, while directed against Israel, is in truth a plan to extend the rule of the Obiden Junta over the USA. Let me explain briefly. It’s estimated the Obiden Junta is responsible for the funding of Iran’s terror machine to the tune of $60 billion in the past 30 months. And allowing Iran to fully fund its proxy terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah. In addition the Obiden Junta left behind in the hands of the Taliban billions of dollars worth of advanced weaponry. Billions of the aid sent to Ukraine has been diverted as well. Billions in payments, including the $6 billion, will not be stopped. It’s probably already been delivered.
Let me explain why. It’s a payment toward stealing the 2024 elections and staying in power. The only way the organized crime syndicate masquerading as the Democratic Party can retain power is through massive election fraud, and the easiest, simplest method is the mail-in voting machine they developed for the 2020 election. This requires another shutdown, another panic, another reason to compel mail-in voting. Instead of a fake pandemic, they will start a war. Among the millions of illegals are tens of thousands of military age young men from the Middle East. They are Hamas, Hezbollah, Isis, and Taliban fighters. They will be armed by groups associated with BLM and ANTIFA, and communists that have been placed throughout US military and law enforcement, and released on US targets creating a massive death, chaos and destruction designed to cause panic. Attacks will be carried out in nightclubs, concerts, sports events, schools, churches and synagogues, malls, grocery stores, and any myriad number of targets of opportunity. They will be designed to sow indescribable destruction, horror and panic. The response will be massive. Public gatherings will be banned and once again mail-in voting will be demanded as a “national security measure.” The War Powers Act invoked, massive censorship imposed and a whole host of incredible powers the crime syndicate can release. We all know all too well they control the voting process in critical areas, a process the crime syndicate totally controls. They have either control or have intimidated the legal system to the point it is difficult to find lawyers who will risk their careers and freedom to appear in a court. Their army of mainly white woke and black women controlled by BLM and ANTIFA and numerous other communist activists will create whatever number of ballots required for whomever is the Democratic nominee (“Big Mike”?), and they will quash that any challenge as a terroristic threat and shut it down. That, folks, is the plan. Now that you know it, what are you going to do about it.what can you do about it? ,
