Reflections From a Murky Pond

Creepy Uncle Joe and Co. have come under significant fire for unfreezing $6bn of Iran’s monies and increasing their allowed oil exports by 400% in the course of making yet another weak and very bad deal for the release of prisoners from Iran. The claim is that they funded and made possible Hamas’ recent heinous attack upon Israelis.

The Biden Administration must be held accountable for its appeasement of these Hamas terrorists, including handing over billions of dollars to them and their Iranian backers

— Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA-1)

Of course, the current regime categorically denies this and claims that it’s all lies spun by evil Republicans. 🙄

Let’s be clear: the deal to bring U.S. citizens home from Iran has nothing to do with the horrific attack on Israel. Not a penny has been spent, and when it is, it can only go for humanitarian needs like food and medicine. Anything to the contrary is false.

— State Department spokesperson, Matthew Miller

Of course, there’s three problems with these denials:

Firstly, every one of them is coming from government operatives who are, at least titularly, beholden to Joe Biden’s administration for their livelihoods. And, every one of them is the sort who – fairly rightly – staunchly support a moderately placid status quo and who would be loath to admit to such a grievous error on the part of the government. Simply put, we really can’t trust that what they’re saying is the actual truth instead of a carefully selected and presented set of facts.

Secondly, this entire claim that they didn’t end up funding Hamas is predicated upon a gross oversimplification of real-world finance. One, money is fungible and every cent of that $6bn spent upon approved humanitarian effort frees a cent of Iran’s money to spent elsewhere, e.g., international, Muslim terrorism. And two, even untouched – as the government claims these monies are to-date – that $6bn can be leveraged and used to secure loans, including loans using the Muslim method, hawala, which difficult if not impossible to trace.

Thirdly, Biden’s government’s denials – and the GOP’s accusations – totally ignore that Biden and Co. have allowed Iran to export far more oil than the sanctions allow, most of going to China. Even if that $6bn of unfrozen money didn’t pay for Hamas’ attack upon the Jews of Israel, the money from those oil exports certainly could have, and likely did.

Truthfully, the one thing that they could have said that would likely be true is that Hamas’ attack was already planned and set to go off and was not predicated upon the release of that $6bn by Biden and Co.. It is possible, though I have no idea how probable, that the only way the prisoner deal and the attack might have been related is that Iran jiggered the timing of the deal so that it happened right before the attack in order to cause the most chaos and embarrassment for the US government.

Hilarious… but also all to close to observable fact in these degenerate times. Boys growing up today seem to be being forced to, to some extent and in at least some ways, turning into girls as they grow up. It brings a whole new meaning to both Sequential Hermaphroditism and child abuse.

In the immediate wake of the Palestinians’ vicious and heinous attack upon the Jews of Israel, the Anti-Semites shocked me more than a little a bit. It took them over 24 hours to start blaming the Jews for the Palestinians attack genocidal attack upon them. That’s quite shocking since its normal for these sorts to blame the Israeli Jews preemptively, within minutes of hearing of another attack upon them by the Palestinians.

Creepy Uncle Joe has ranted time and time again that there was no way he’d ever expand our nation’s southern border’s wall to decrease the ungodly amount of illegal aliens invading our country. But he just did exactly that. On Wednesday, October 7th, 2023, the Biden administration announced it would build an approximately 20-mile section of border wall in high-traffic crossing areas in Texas, This announcement that stood in stark contrast to then-candidate Joe Biden’s 2020 declaration that he would not build “another foot of wall” as POTUS.

Now, Biden himself claims that he had to do this whether he wants to or not, which he claims he didn’t, and that it will serve not purpose to do it, but that he has no choice in the matter.

The money was appropriated for the border wall. I tried to get them to reappropriate, to redirect that money. They didn’t. They wouldn’t. In the meantime, there’s nothing under the law other than they have to use the money for what it was appropriated for. I can’t stop that.

— Joe Biden

But there’s two glaring problems with the dodderer’s demurrals: one, he had to waive – i.e., legally violate through fiat powers – 26 federal environmental laws to start the project; and, two, his administrations, even his Homeland Security Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, who’s always been staunchly on the side of the Hispanic invaders, defended the Biden administration’s wall building as being absolutely necessary to address an “acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States.”

So no, he didn’t have to build more walls. He could have just not used the appropriated tax monies, shielding his administration if legally necessary. After all, Democrats launched multiple federal lawsuits again President Trump in a failed attempt to use those very laws to prevent him from building the wall.

What has really happened is that Biden’s handlers, nannies, and nurses have been forced to realize – mostly from the screaming, desperate complaints from politicians and the citizenry in Deep Blue areas, e.g., New York and Massachusetts – that President Trump was right. But, of course, they can’t ever, ever, ever admit that.

This is a summation of the beginning of every single television “news” show. Lights, Camera, Bullshit. And that’s the reason for only approximately 58% of adults inside America’s borders saying they have at least some trust in the information that comes from mainstream media. It’s also why over 60% of that 58% of people are Democrats, who eagerly gobble up the particular flavor of bullshit their media spews.
