If it’s any consolation the $400 million Obama recently smuggled to terror-sponsoring Iran wasn’t (directly) extorted from the American taxpayer. Instead it was money the Shah (Iran’s ruler in 1979) paid for U.S. military equipment shortly before he was deposed by the terror-sponsoring maniacs still running Iran (i.e. sold down the river by President Jimmy Carter.)
Amazingly the U.S. never delivered the arms to the Shah’s “successors,” who still claim rightful ownership of U.S. jets, tanks, etc. The recently smuggled $400 million, as rationalized by Obama and some in the media, is simply a way of making good on that transaction– a harmless money-back policy, similar to Wal-Mart’s.
Above I wrote “amazingly” because delivery of sophisticated U.S. Military equipment to Islamic maniacs seems like business-as-usual for Democratic Presidents lately. Just ask the jumble of Islamic maniacs shooting, blasting and hacking each other to pieces in Syria lately.
If delivering (a probably unconstitutional) $400 million to terror-sponsoring, hostage-taking Iran strikes many of us as foolish—or shameful, outrageous and dangerous– what about $4 billion (annually) to Iran’s closest ally in the Western Hemisphere: terror-sponsoring Cuba?
Much of the $4 billion in U.S. dollars annually to the Castro-Family-Crime-Syndicate (euphemized as “Cuba” by the media and Obama’s State Dept.), also results from Obama’s executive orders (opening travel and remittance loopholes in the so-called embargo)—which is to say: it’s also probably unconstitutional.
Worse still, this Obama-enabled loot enriches the Castro family at the expense of the U.S. taxpayer. Not that anyone relying on the mainstream media or Obama spokespersons would have the slightest clue about these scandalous and well-guarded transactions that have the Castro family and their military cronies guffawing all the way to (Swiss and Panamanian) banks.
You see, amigos: the U.S. issues 20,000 visas to Cubans annually. And amazingly (except to everyone familiar with Castroism) the Castro regime is in charge of which Cubans get them. So Castro’s apparatchiks make sure to issue their thousands upon thousands of entry tickets into the U.S. to a special type of “refugee.”
This type enters the U.S. via comfy commercial flight and sprints from the airport terminal to the nearest welfare office. Shortly he’s sending a portion of his U.S. refugee welfare benefits back to his family in Cuba, where other communist apparatchiks promptly skim off 20 percent in various “transaction fees” and deposit them into communist regime coffers.
And some say communists are “inefficient?” HAH!
Some Cuba-watchers even report that the ultra-efficient (in fleecing Americans) Cuban regime even gives preparatory classes to its snickering “refugee” visa applicants. These intensive training seminars focus on how to quickly fill out those pesky welfare forms those fussbucket Yankee Imperialists make you fill out before forking over the $1200 a month in assorted Yankee Imperialist welfare benefits. (That’s over twenty times a Cuban’s monthly salary, by the way—but still! Geesh! All that paperwork!) Some say these classes even feature wall-maps showing where the Yankee Imperialist welfare offices are located in the Miami area.
