U.S. to Award Iran $11.9 Billion Through End of Nuke Talks
The Obama administration on Wednesday paid $490 million in cash assets to Iran and will have released a total of $11.9 billion to the Islamic Republic by the time nuclear talks are scheduled to end in June, according to figures provided by the State Department.
Today’s $490 million release, the third such payment of this amount since Dec. 10, was agreed to by the Obama administration under the parameters of another extension in negotiations over Tehran’s contested nuclear program that was inked in November.
Iran will receive a total of $4.9 billion in unfrozen cash assets via 10 separate payments by the United States through June 22, when talks with Iran are scheduled to end with a final agreement aimed at curbing the country’s nuclear work, according to a State Department official.
Iran received $4.2 billion in similar payments under the 2013 interim agreement with the United States and was then given another $2.8 billion by the Obama administration last year in a bid to keep Iran committed to the talks through November, when negotiators parted ways without reaching an agreement.
Iran will have received a total of $11.9 billion in cash assets by the end of June if current releases continue on pace as scheduled.The release of this money has drawn outrage from some Republican lawmakers who filed legislation last year to prevent the release of cash due to a lack of restrictions on how Iran can spend the money.
These cash payments by the United States have been made with no strings attached, prompting concerns that ...
DEMOCRAT MENENDEZ: OBAMA IRAN RHETORIC SOUNDS ‘STRAIGHT OUT OF TEHRAN’
Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) criticized the Obama administration’s Iran rhetoric for sounding “like talking points that come straight out of Tehran” and supporting “the Iranian narrative of victimization” before a Senate hearing on Wednesday.
“The more I hear from the administration and its quotes, the more it sounds like talking points that come straight out of Tehran. And it feeds to the Iranian narrative of victimization, when they are the ones with original sin, an illicit nuclear weapons program going back over the course of 20 years that they are unwilling to come clean on. So I don’t know why we feel compelled to make their case” he stated.

The Gadget, the first atomic bomb (1945)
.jpg)
Trinity was the code name of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon, conducted by the United States Army on July 16, 1945, as part of the Manhattan Project. The White Sands Proving Ground, where the test was conducted, was in the Jornada del Muerto desert about 35 miles (56 km) southeast of Socorro, New Mexico, on the Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range. The only structures originally in the vicinity were the McDonald Ranch House and its ancillary buildings, which scientists used as a laboratory for testing bomb components. A base camp was constructed, and there were 425 people present on the weekend of the test.
The code name "Trinity" was assigned by J. Robert Oppenheimer, the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory, after a poem by John Donne. The test used an implosion-design plutonium device, informally nicknamed "The Gadget", of the same design as the Fat Man bomb later detonated over Nagasaki, Japan, on August 9, 1945. The complexity of ...

Iran Knows That They Need To Attack Israel Now While Obama Is Still In Office..
If Iran wants to attack Israel, they need to attack now while Barack Obama is still in office. This is the only time when they are guaranteed to be able to attack Israel without the American military backing up Israel.These next two years is a very dangerous time for Israel.
Any U.S. president who gets elected in 2016 will almost guaranteed be a supporter of Israel. Certainly any Republican or Independent would be. Barack Obama is clearly not a supporter of Israel. Barack Obama has snubbed all of our traditional allies in favor of very shady countries including Iran and Egypt's deposed Islamic Brotherhood Regime. Barack Obama is a traitor to American interests, the American people, and to western values in general.
The only way that Israel will not prevail against Iran and other terrorist entities, even without the backing of America, would be if multiple nuclear weapons were detonated in the borders of Israel itself.
If Israel were to cease to exist, it would change nothing as far as radical Islam is concerned with the possible exception that the U.S. becomes the primary target of Islamic hate and vitriol.
Valerie Jarrett and Barack Obama hate Israel. All of their...

Mitch “Con Man” McConnell Signals Senate Sell Out, Surrender On Amnesty and Violation Of Constitution
The Republicans are proving there is no difference between themselves and the traitorous leadership of the Democrats. They are slow-walking amnesty in a theatrical presentation for our consumption designed to give them the cover they need as they commit treason and betray both the people and their sworn oaths to the Constitution.
Clearly our exuberance at having the Republicans in charge of the Congress was premature and...
