Here’s something that will generate little or no coverage in what passes for our “neutral” mainstream media, but which should enrage – and horrify – any decent person who cares about fighting terrorism.
From Adam Kredo’s article at freebeacon.com – and please pay special attention to the last paragraph, which I have put in bold print):
The Biden administration on Wednesday reapproved a sanctions waiver that unlocks upwards of $10 billion in frozen funds for the Iranian government, according to a copy of the notice submitted to Congress late Wednesday and reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.
The sanctions waiver—which has drawn fierce GOP opposition on Capitol Hill—allows Iraq to transfer electricity payments to Iran via third-party countries. The sanctions waiver was last approved by the Biden administration in November and set to expire this month, putting the White House in a tight position as a mounting chorus of GOP lawmakers express concern about sanctions being bypassed. The authority granted in the latest waivers allows Iraq to convert dinars into Euros and transfer payments into Iranian banks accounts in Oman.
Republican foreign policy leaders in Congress raised concerns about the waiver earlier this week, the Free Beacon reported, saying that sanctions should not be lifted on the hardline Iranian regime in light of its support for Hamas and other terrorist proxy groups waging war on Israel and American outposts in the region.
While the State Department maintains the funds can only be accessed by Iran to pay for humanitarian supplies, like food and medicine, critics of the sanctions waiver argue that money is fungible, and that the waiver frees up cash for Iran to spend on its global terrorism operations.
Is Biden – or, more correctly, are the puppeteers running him, thus running the presidency – out of their minds?
Iran is the world’s most most prolific funder/trainer/supporter of worldwide terrorism. And we are voluntarily – proactively – handing them billions and billions of dollars to do just that.
What possible justification is there for stuffing $10 billion dollars into Iran’s coffers? Money that can, as Mr. Kredo’ last paragraph makes clear, be used for anything Iran wants to use it for (like hamas, like hezbollah, like the houthi’s who are attacking ships in the Red Sea, for example)?
This is insane. It is the United States aiding and abetting Iran’s international terrorism. And it is a policy that, based on the waiving of these sanctions, is fine and dandy with Biden & Co.
Is this news? Big news? News that is worthy of major coverage? But…and this is the big one….news that would be especially damaging to Joe Biden and Democrats?
If the answer is yes – and it damn well is – then here’s a little project for you: try and find that coverage in our mainstream media. Look hard and see what, if anything, you come up with.
Then, when you can barely find a thing about it, reflect on what it tells you regarding the honesty/integrity of our media; just how “neutral” most of them are, and how much you should trust their coverage – of Iran, the Biden administration or anything at all.
