Stop Pretending – It’s Not the “Fungibility,” It’s the Location of the $6 Billion Returned to Iran

October 8, 2023

You want to go deep weeds, let’s go deep weeds.  Almost all of the conversations about the $6 billion given back to Iran have focused on the fungible aspect of money.  While true, that focus misses the key and essential point, where the money was delivered.

 

The captured $6 billion was held in a South Korean bank, the result of sanctions violations.  What the Biden/Blinken crew did, was move the money from South Korea to a bank in Qatar.

Now, many people may not at first understand the nature of how that makes such a significant difference.  The lack of understanding is the result of people not fully grasping what Qatar does in the Middle East.   Qatar is the financial center for Islamic extremist operations.  Qatar is the banking center for the Muslim Brotherhood.  The Brotherhood is the political umbrella for a host of Islamic extremist groups.

 

Qatar is well known to CTH readers and those who follow the deep weeds of geopolitics.  Qatar has historically been the financial center and funding mechanism of the Muslim Brotherhood.  In many ways Qatar is to the U.S. State Dept, CIA and political elements of the Intelligence Community in the Middle East, as Ukraine is to those same entities in Europe.

 

{snip}

 

Without Qatar radical Islamic extremism could not exist.  Without Qatar the Muslim Brotherhood, the political arm of Islamic extremism, could not exist.  Qatar is the bank for all operational terrorist groups.

Civilian. She's probably going to have PTS for awhile. She told her friend to stop crying, he was annoying the guys with guns, he didn't and they wasted him and let her go. Crazy

I think Netanyahu is going to come at this with a very heavy hand and civilians on both sides - Gazans and Israeli hostages - are going to be treated as acceptable collateral damage even if they number in the thousands or tens of thousands. Gaza is going to be flattened, regardless of who is there. There will be no negotiations for hostages, just an iron fist response - it's on brand for Netanyahu and now he's hurt and embarrassed.

The world will be lucky to avoid a world war because you've had US Presidents who thought better of going to war with Iran and I don't feel confident this White House has that same attitude, and neither the capability or desire to keep Israel from dropping a nuclear bomb on Tehran, after they make Gaza a parking lot.   Iran is assuming the US and the West will restrain Israel, like they always have, and I wouldn't be so sure of that now.  

 

You need the Russians to talk to Iran, and well, that's not looking feasible.

 

The US, Israel and Saudis know you can't invade or occupy Iran successfully, so the next best thing is to flatten Tehran, and to be honest, besides those in our own government who'd love to take out Iran, the Saudis would secretly cheer that on as well.

That's why Hamass is begging for peace talks.

Who wouldn't be happy if Iran were taken out?

Their arms dealers - the Chinese and North Koreans, and I wouldn't be surprised if Iran is North Korea's best customer.

Their proxies and friends - Lebanon, Qatar, Afghanistan, Syria

Bordering countries wouldn't like the vacuum created by a country suddenly without any government.

Hamas wants a Truce all of a sudden

 

If I'm ok with Israel telling them to shove it, does that make me a warmonger? 

 

There is going to be a lot more payback before that happens.

I heard the ex Israeli Ambassador to the US today, and it seems they are not content to simply end this.

They want to terminate Hamas in Gaza with extreme prejudice.

 

Nothing like a barbarous invasion of your territory, complete with going door to door and killing families to cause the Israelis to put their judicial reform issues aside.

 

If a smoking gun can be tracked back to Iran, which seems increasingly likely, there might be interesting headlines in the next few months.

Israel is showing a symbolic hint of compassion by telling civilians in Gaza to evacuate certain targets. The same civilians who  cheered and beat the dead bodies being paraded in the streets.

Bibi's been wanting to do this year years.  Hamass just gave them the green light.

Yup.  Smart move by them.  "Get out or your dead ass is on you."

Truce?  Yeah.  Right.  Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran - they're *****.  Israel doesn't play war like we do - half-assed.

So obvious these clowns in Hamas and Hezbollah pulled this ***** now while we have a weak, demented, loser playing pretend President in the WH.  They know this ***** would not go down when Trump gets re-elected.  What a mess.

Again.  We are not talking about Trump.  We are talking about the current demented American President who has done nothing because he's too scared and wants to stay in bed with Iran.  Heck.  He and the Squad funded the attack with that bull#### $6B payoff to Iran, with a kick back to his son and crime syndicate.  Stay on track if you can.  What a mess.
