US delivered $400m in CASH stashed inside wooden pallets to Iran on same day as American hostages were freed but the Obama administration DENIES it paid a ransom


  • President Obama's administration paid $400m to Iran as part of a failed arms deal as they also lifted nuclear-related sanctions
  • Four Americans were also released by Iran as part of a prisoner exchange
  • Washington Post journalist Jason Rezaian was among them, U.S. confirms
  • Former U.S. Marine, a pastor and a fourth man were also set free
  • Critics claim Obama gave cash as hostage payment for the four Americans
  • But Us officials insist the exchange came after ease of tensions between the two countries following the resolution
  • Fifth American man - a student - was also freed but not as part of the swap

No, no Locutus, you can tell it's all legit. Any time you stash hundreds of millions of dollars in wooden pallets and try to secretly ship them to a fascist theocracy, you know the deal is on the up and up.

Isn't it funny how the timing coincides with other events? Due to the lack of full transparency in this administration we'll never know BUT... we get to pay the bill!

The only conclusion they will reach is the pallets were correctly secured for transport.

(In part)
The U.S. did not deliver on its end. Iranian money is still blocked in U.S. controlled accounts and no international bank wants to do business with Iran because the U.S. is threatening to penalize them. The conclusion, Khamenei says, is that no deal with U.S. over any local issue in the Middle East is possible and that all negotiations with it are a waste of time. This new public position may finally free the limits the Rouhani government of Iran had put on Iranian deployments to Syria. Why bother with any self-limitation if the U.S. wont honor it?

When you hear the words " a government of the people, by the people and for the people", that might make you believe that the power of government rested in the hands of the governed, which isn't the case , and has never been the case.

The power is there
It"s just that by consenting to be governed you give up the actual direction of that power to someone else
( Picture a total sit down strike nation wide, or even an armed rebellion)

"Give me control of the money and I care not who makes the laws"
- a private central banker
Glass Stiegle and the like, and the laws regarding the minting of money are there they just have to be used
