Is the Lord exposing rotten politics? UK, USA…EU??

Pertinent points therein of 26th May 2016:

‘President Obama’s unwelcome interference in the UK/EU Referendum and now his aide Ben Rhodes’ outrageous boasting about their manipulating media lackies with fiction and duplicity over the Iran nuclear deal. For the reasons behind this expose read here. (White House Christian correspondent Bill Koenig often refers to incompetence and lack of required experience and skills of Potus’ aides.) 

NB: The admittance to secret contact with Iran as early as 2011 is incorrect – TWO years too late! It started very early in Obama’s first term and prior to his infamous Cairo speech, as I wrote 7 years ago (18 May 2009) in Today’s Importance in History: 

‘this [diplomatic storm] involved attempts to turn the Arab world and Europe against Israel, and to appease Iran – even to ‘blackmailing’ Israel over its nuclear defence! (It’s reported Obama wanted to be able to use Iran’s territory for supplying US troops in Afghanistan and Pakistan.) Also, there’s been dismay in Cairo and Riyadh over his courting the terrorist mentors in Teheran.’  [per DebkaFile intelligence reports].’

The American issue has since developed: The White House refuses to let Rhodes testify  (Fox News 17 May). Yesterday Reuters reports on the Hilary Clinton’s illegal activities, Clinton email server broke government rules.  HA! LOL!  Maybe that’s why mine was giving me such serious bother this morning 🙂

Also today, the Telegraph Tax Investigation into Trump was published; ie. a report on the presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s US tax avoidance activities.

All that’s probably nothing compared with the EU, which hasn’t been able to publish any certified accounts for donkey’s years!!’

Scanning my phone over lunch I recalled capturing this yesterday but didn’t get around to blogging in view of preceding items – and yet again ‘22‘ happens to pop up:

Mossad Intel Alleges Iran Nuclear Deal Funds Fueled Weapons Program, Implicates Obama-Era Officials

By Jonathan Gregory (Facebook and at Newsmax)
Washington, D.C. — June 16, 2025

A bombshell intelligence report from Israel’s Mossad has uncovered that vast sums of money released to Iran under the 2015 nuclear agreement were funneled (sic) directly into secret nuclear weapons development, contrary to the stated purpose of the deal.

According to senior intelligence officials, newly declassified documents and intercepted communications suggest that Iranian leadership used much of the estimated $50 billion in accessible frozen assets and U.S. payments not for economic relief, but to accelerate illicit weapons programs. Most explosively, the report alleges that key figures in the Obama administration were aware of the high risk that the funds could be diverted, but proceeded regardless, raising serious concerns about complicity or, at minimum, gross negligence.

The nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was heralded by the Obama administration as a historic diplomatic achievement meant to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. As part of the agreement, international sanctions were lifted, allowing Iran to access tens of billions of dollars in frozen funds, resume oil sales, and re-enter global financial markets. Additionally, the U.S. paid $1.7 billion to Iran to settle an old legal claim, with $400 million in cash delivered in coordination with the release of American prisoners. Mossad’s intelligence now claims that these payments, and the broader windfall from the deal, were rapidly redirected into uranium enrichment, missile technology, and the expansion of covert facilities, violating both the spirit and letter of the JCPOA.

These revelations spark a political firestorm in Washington and beyond. The report not only validates long-standing warnings from critics who argued the JCPOA lacked sufficient safeguards, it also implicates former senior U.S. officials in enabling the very nuclear threat the deal aimed to prevent. Calls are already growing for a full congressional investigation into the handling of the funds and the intelligence assessments at the time. The Biden administration, which has sought to revive the deal, now faces a major credibility test amid growing international skepticism over Iran’s intentions and outrage over how U.S. taxpayer resources may have empowered a hostile regime.
