Former Obama advisers tell Trump how to handle Iran protests

Some key advisers to former "Lead from Behind" President Obama have attacked President Trump for supporting the Iran protests taking place for the past week. 

Valerie Jarrett, who left her heart in Tehran, Iran, was mute on the subject. That may be due to perverted allegiances to the Islamic Republic of Iran and her fear of being uncovered.

In 2009, the "Green Revolution" threatened Iran's theocratic regime, and Obama along with his administration lead from behind by not leading and not supporting the protesters. In effect, the Obama "behinders" supported the regime by not taking a stance. In fact, Obama said "we respect Iranian sovereignty and want to avoid the United States being the issue inside of Iran."

So of course, Obama's pussyfooting allowed the regime to consolidate power and put the revolution down. This was done selfishly, for Obama's crappy nuclear deal, which he believed was more important than the human rights of Iranian citizens. 

Proof that Obama is an immoral, self-serving megalomaniac.

President Trump is openly and vigorously supporting the protests and is 'attack-tweeting' against the regime:
Many reports of peaceful protests by Iranian citizens fed up with regime's corruption & its squandering of the nation's wealth to fund terrorism abroad. Iranian govt should respect their people's rights, including right to express themselves. The world is watching! #IranProtests
The entire world understands that the good people of Iran want change, and, other than the vast military power of the United States, that Iran's people are what their leaders fear the most...pic.twitter.com/W8rKN9B6RT

Big protests in Iran. The people are finally getting wise as to how their money and wealth is being stolen and squandered on terrorism. Looks like they will not take it any longer. The USA is watching very closely for human rights violations!

Iran, the Number One State of Sponsored Terror with numerous violations of Human Rights occurring on an hourly basis, has now closed down the Internet so that peaceful demonstrators cannot communicate. Not good!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 31, 2017
Iran is failing at every level despite the terrible deal made with them by the Obama Administration. The great Iranian people have been repressed for many years. They are hungry for food & for freedom. Along with human rights, the wealth of Iran is being looted. TIME FOR CHANGE!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 1, 2018
But some of Obama's people reject Trump's thinking and evidently think the former failed president's approach was better. And they're correct--if you're will to pray toward Mecca or die.

Former National Security Advisor Susan "It-Was-A-Video" Rice tweeted a New York Times op-ed by former Obama aide Philip Gordon, "How Can Trump Help Iran's Protesters? Be Quiet." 

Gordon contended that supporting the protesters and taking steps to end the Iran nuclear deal will delegitimize Iran's internal opponents.
How Can Trump Help Iran’s Protesters? Be Quiet. https://t.co/w0MNlWMkxG"— Susan Rice (@AmbassadorRice) December 31, 2017
John "Hair-plugs" Kerry had to pontificate his two cents tweeting:
With humility about how little we know about what’s happening inside Iran, this much is clear: it’s an Iranian moment and not anyone else’s. But the rights of people to protest peacefully and voice their aspirations are universal and governments everywhere should respect that.— John Kerry (@JohnKerry) December 31, 2017 
Ben Rhodes the former Deputy National Security Advisor who majored in English in college and an aspiring novelist, had nothing new to add in attacking President Trump. He criticized Americans who think the U.S. should encourage the protests:
The Iranian people are rightfully demanding dignity, less corruption, more opportunity, and greater control over their lives. In looking at US twitter, it seems lost on too many that this is about what Iranians want for Iran, and not about us.
— Ben Rhodes (@brhodes) December 31, 2017 
Tommy "Dude" Vietor, a former cool guy spokesboy for the National Security Council went to his default mode of sarcasm:
Trump loves protestors as long as they’re not American.— Tommy Vietor (@TVietor08) December 31, 2017
Former UN Ambassador and closet Communist Samantha Power, criticized Trump's immigration policy in this clever tweet:
We stand with the Iranian people so much that we won't let them come here. https://t.co/fzbv8idiiJ
       --Samantha Power (@SamanthaJPower) January 1, 2018

But not every Obama minion was on board with the anti-Trump sentiment. Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates admitted, in his 2014 book "Duty:  Memoirs of a Secretary at War," that while he had to be persuaded that "too powerful an American voice on behalf of the protesters might provide ammunition for the regime," he later rejected his words and said, "In retrospect, I think we could and should have done more, at least rhetorically." (328)

Maybe it's Obama's turn, along with his former administration, to just shut up.

Trey Gowdy: Samantha Power claims others unmasked in her name

Former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power testified that the hundreds of unmasking requests made in her name, were made by other people. This was discovered by House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-SC) and revealed in an interview with Fox News' Bret Baier on "Special Report with Bret Baier,"

"Her testimony is they may be under my name, but I did not make those requests," Gowdy said of Power. She is one among those in the Obama administration who made requests to identify Americans whose names surfaced in foreign intelligence reports, known as unmasking.

 It was reported by Fox News last month that Power was unmasking at an incredibly rapid pace in the final months of Obama's leftist presidency. She averaged over one request for every working day last year and even went so far as to seek information in the days leading to Trump's inauguration.

Gowdy told Bret Baier, "I think if she were on your show, she would say those requests to unmask may have been attributed to her, but they greatly exceed by an exponential factor the requests she actually made. So, that's her testimony, and she was pretty emphatic about it."

Then he added, "So we've go to get to the bottom of that. If there is someone else making requests on behalf of a principal in the intelligence community, we need to know that because we're getting ready to reauthorize a program that's really important to the country, but also has a masking component to it."

Power was interviewed Friday for a closed-door session with House Intelligence Committee investigators looking into the 'unmasking' of Trump associates under the Obama crowd.

So who's to blame for allowing someone else to use her name to violate the rights to privacy of U.S. citizens? And if it was done with such frequency, why wasn't Powers directly questioned by the judicial authority that grants such requests?

Samantha Power uses her power to unmask hundreds of Trumpers

Okay, here's what we know so far: Samantha Power is not a man nor does she "identify" as a man; she's a woman and is a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. 

She also is known to have 'unmasked' over 260 Americans last year--about one a working day--and even sought information in the days leading to President Trump's inauguration.

Two anonymous sources and my source who goes by the moniker Vinny Boombots, revealed this startling number and it leaves people scratching their heads as to what a UN ambassador needs with such information--unless she's also an undercover CIA operative [not of the "honey pot" kind] in addition to being an ambassador.

Power is to appear next month on Capitol Hill as she and other questionable leftists are to be scrutinized for their role in seeking the identities of Trump associates in intelligence reports. However, the interest in Power's actions is very high due to an apparent absence of a "need to know" status and the fact that she's probably a Commie sympathizer like her husband.

In a letter written July 27th to the Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) said the committee discovered "that one official, whose position had no apparent intelligence-related function, made hundreds of unmasking requests during the final year of the Obama Administration."

The "official" in question is widely believed to be 'Sam' Power. 

At a public congressional hearing this year, Trey Gowdy (R-SC) asked former CIA director and Hajj visitor John Brennan about unmasking, without mentioning Power by name or reputation.

Gowdy: Do you recall any U.S. ambassadors asking that names be unmasked?

Brennan: I don't know. Maybe it's ringing a vague bell but I'm not--I could not answer with any confidence.

Gowdy: On either January 19 or up till noon on January 20, did you make any unmasking requests?

Brennan: I do not believe I did.

Gowdy: So you did not make any requests on the last day that you were employed?

Brennan: No, I was not in the agency on the last day I was employed.

But realizing there might be a 'sign-in log' or video evidence of his having been there, he corrected the record, confirming he was at CIA headquarters on January 20.

Brennan: I went there to collect some final personal materials as well as to pay my last respects to a memorial wall. But I was there for a brief period of time and just to take care of some final--final things that were important to me.

Power's spokesperson had no comment on the number or timing of her requests. Her lawyer David Pressman stated previously that "While serving as our Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Power was also a member of the National Security Council responsible for advising the President on the full-range of threats confronting the United States. Any insinuation that Ambassador Power was involved in leaking classified information is absolutely false."

Yeah, sure. That's what they all say and he even gets paid to say it.

And what the hell is Power doing on the National Security Council concurrent to her ambassador position.

The sad truth is, however, nobody at the top is going to prison. Nobody. Not Hillary; not Power; not Rice; not Clapper. It's the way the system works for the elite, for those who make the laws they break, or the policies that don't actually effect them, like Obamacare.

What you see in the media is fluff.

Obama official made 'hundreds of unmasking requests'

In the final year of Obama's failed presidency, one of his officials made "hundreds of unmasking requests" according to a letter from a top Republican who raised concerns that the requests were made for "improper purposes."

"Unmasking" refers to a formal request to identify Americans in an intelligence document.

Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), the House Intelligence Committee Chairman, has questioned whether the unmasking was improperly sought by Obama officials in unmasking the names of the Trump transition team.

The person he seemed to be referring to regarding the hundreds of unmasking requests is Samantha Power. 

"[T]his Committee has learned that one official, whose position has no apparent intelligence-related function, made hundreds of unmasking requests during the final year of the Obama Administration," Nunes wrote to Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats.

Nunes wrote that only one request "offered a justification that was not boilerplate and articulated why" the identity was needed for official duties.

Three top Obama administration officials were specifically named: Former CIA director John Brennan; former national security adviser Susan "It Was The Video" Rice; and former U.N. ambassador Samantha Power.

David Pressman, Power's lawyer, stressed that her responsibilities in her capacity as a member of the National Security Council but said she will cooperate with Congress.

"Ambassador Power strongly supports any bipartisan effort to address the serious threat to our national security posed by Russia's interference in our electoral process, and is eager to engage with the Senate and House committees on the timeline they have requested," he wrote. "While serving as our Permanent Representative to the United Nations and as a member of the National Security Council responsible for advising the President on the full-range of threats confronting the United States, and long before receiving an invitation to engage the Congressional committees, Ambassador Power was unambiguous about her support of bipartisan efforts to determine the full extent of this threat to our national security."

Which is why she unmasked as many Donald Trump campaign team personnel that she could get away with and not raise eyebrows.

Nunes' letter said he plans to introduce a bill requiring "individual, fact-based justifications" for unmasking requests.

"Cabinet members and other senior political leaders cannot be permitted to continue to seek access to U.S. person information within disseminated intelligence reports without documenting a specific, fact-based requirement for the information," he wrote.

Nunes said that "Obama-era officials sought the identities of Trump transition officials within intelligence reports" without offering any "meaningful explanation" as to why they needed or how they would use the information.

Nunes is concerned the information could be used for nefarious purposes, including leaking. He even noted that some of the requests were "followed by anonymous leaks of those name to the media."

So it walks and quacks like a duck.

UN Security Council meets to discuss Iran's bad behavior

The UN Security Council met with U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power Monday to talk about Iran's "provocative and destabilizing" launch last week of a long-range missile with Hebrew writing threatening the destruction of Israel. 

I wonder if perhaps George Soros helped Iran with the Hebrew. Although being Jewish, George Soros on Israel and Jews don't seem to get along very well. (For moron George Soros, go here.)

Lucky for us,  the Obama administration isn't a fan of Israel and the Jews either, so maybe we will not be going to war with Iran in the near future. We'll just have to wait until they develop a nuke and put it in a long-range missile . . . then we can cross our fingers--Iranians hate crosses.

The meeting on Iran was added to one that was already scheduled to discuss the latest Syrian situation. But the U.S. called the meeting because after the deal and the ending of sanctions that were in place, they promised not to pursue nuclear weapons, and by golly, they did, surprising nobody except Obama and his minions.

In a strong barrage of words, certain to bring regret to the Ayatollah and cessation of further nuclear ambitions, Samantha Power said: "We condemn such threats against another UN member-state and one of our closest allies."

It is unclear if Powers drew a red line as well.

Whether or not the missile tests actually violated the terms of the nuclear deal is not the point. What matters is how unabashedly clear the Iranian Shi'ite terrorists are about their intentions with Israel, and eventually with us. 

When Iran chants "Death to Israel!" and "Death to America," they honestly mean it with all their hearts. 

Maybe we should send all the anti-Semites to Iran to help them with their religious endeavors.

Tweets that will stop Russia in its boot tracks

I wonder how Vladimir Putin feels about the recent frontal attack he received in response to the airstrikes Russia flew against the Syrian opposition forces. I imagine he's worried that the United States is going to bombard his country, inundating them with powerful tweets, tweets that will rock him and will make the autocrat shake in his Cossack boots.

Imagine millions of Russians taking cover, getting as far away from their computer monitors as quickly as they can run. Fearful that the one tweet they fear the most will reach their eyes and destroy whatever they hold dear.

"Yikes! It's yet another Twitter attack by the word-thirsty Americans! Run Natasha, run!"

For Obama and his inept administration, words are everything. If you don't believe me, just ask his teleprompter. 

Imagine how Putin felt reading Samantha Power's tweet: "We call on Russia to cease attacks on Syria oppo (sic) & civilians & to focus on ISIL." The U.N. Ambassador must have had Vlad biting his nails with worry. Or maybe he just peed his pants laughing at how he has made the Obama administration look like a bunch of lawyers and community organizers who think their words can actually do something to stop him.

How totally naive and childish. Those words have as much weight and substance as a bag of smoke from a dung fire.

Obama says that Putin and Iran are on the wrong side of history.

He's wrong--they are on their side of history, the side they choose to be on. They choose to grab as much power as Obama and the rest of the West allows them to grab. And for Obama to think that our "60 nation coalition" is an actual coalition is a bong party fantasy.
Signs of ineptitude

Telling Russia to cease their involvement in the Middle East is like telling Bill Clinton to keep it in his pants, or telling Obama to give up the idea of gun-control while the bodies are still warm.

Obama the guileless

Iran symbolically flipped the bird to the Obama administration by confirming Friday that heavily sanctioned Revolutionary Guard Quds Force Commander, General Qassem Soleimani traveled to Russia in July to make a weapons deal with Putin. The deal also discussed the S-300 missile system, says Reuters.


In fact, just this past June, Russia announced that it would send S-300 missiles to Iran.

The S-300 missile is a Russian-designed surface-to-air missile used to defend against aircraft and our Cruise missiles. Later models can also defend against ballistic missiles. So if, say, Iran launched a nuke at the USA, they could in effect shoot down any of our anti-missile missiles, and there wouldn't be enough marshmallows in existence to toast from the blast.

Our U.N. ambassador, Samantha Power, whose only accurate political assessment was when she referred to Hillary Clinton as "a monster," said that she is very concerned about the news about General Soleimani's Russian excursion.

The naive Power said, "Qassem Soleimani is subject to a UN travel ban and this travel ban requires all states to prohibit Qassem Soleimani from traveling to their nation and the only exception to that is if the Iran sanctions committee grants an exemption."

Samantha Power is a stupid as Obama and his gang of idiots to think for a second that Iran cares about honoring agreements with infidels.

According to FoxNews.com, the Obama administration didn't specifically blame Putin for hosting Soleimani. (Translation: "it's Putin's fault.")

White House press secretary Josh Not-very Earnest said, "I can't confirm these specific reports but it is an indication of our ongoing concerns with Iran and their behavior."

So why the hell did we do this deal with Iran if we cannot trust them? Why didn't we simply increase the sanctions and give Israel the green light to do what they need to do to stay safe? Why, at the very least, didn't we get something out of this deal, like four American hostages released, for example?

Mike Rogers, former head of the US House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, (where nary a liberal should roam) spoke about the situation on Friday. 

"We should not underestimate what this means to our national security. A leading general in Iran just told the world that the United States of America is irrelevant and Russia welcomed him with open arms. Not only do Russia and Iran not fear us, they do not respect us. And that, is dangerous."

Five days after Soleimani arrived in Moscow, John Kerry, our so-called Secretary of State, assured Congress that pressure would remain on Soleimani.

Kerry lied--his default position.

 "Under the United States' initiative, Qassem Soleimani will never be relieved of any sanctions," the man who replaced another empty pantsuit said.

Soleimani is responsible for the deaths of over 500 Americans in Iraq and had likely orchestrated the failed assassination attempt on the Saudi ambassador to the U.S. at a Washington D.C. restaurant.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) weighed in on Soleimani: "He's directly responsible for the murder of over 500 American servicemen in Iraq and part of this Iranian deal was lifting international sanctions on General Soleimani--the day General Soleimani flew back from Moscow to Iran was the day we believe Russia used cyber warfare against the joint chiefs."

This administration cannot leave office fast enough.

Truth to Power?

It's weird to think that the American people are being kept in the dark about which 40 countries have offered their support to fight ISIS, but it's okay for the president to let ISIS know what our strategy is going to be regarding "boots on the ground."

Samantha Power, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations revealed that we have 40 countries behind us, but would not name them. "It's up to the individual country," she said to ABC's "This Week."

We don't have a clue whether Egypt, Turkey, Qatar (pronounced "cutter") will join in airstrikes, but France joined in airstrikes last week and took out an ice cream truck possibly carrying vanilla cones with variegated sprinkles. The Syrian airstrikes are currently an Obama pipe dream.

The Saudis have offered to train troops and are willing to use their strategic magic carpet force for surveillance.
