Adhering to the Jewish habit of joining the chorus when a
recital is announced, Lee Smith came up with a new idea that's actually an
extension of an old idea. He discusses its formulation in the article he wrote
under the title: “Paying Ransom to Iran ,” published on August 8, 2016
in the Weekly Standard.
The article is about the exchange that took place when money
(an initial tranche worth $400 million of a larger sum) that was impounded
illegally by America, was returned to Iran in exchange for American prisoners
that were held in Iran under spying charges leveled against them lawfully.
First, we look at a precedent that unfolded three or four
decades ago, and must have given impetus to the current saga. At that time, the
Jewish moguls had discovered they were not keeping up with the increase in the
wealth that non-Jewish moguls were accumulating, so they did the very Jewish
thing of sniffing around to see if they can extort compensation from someone.
To make a long story short, they found a few worthless
documents which they nevertheless labeled a treasure trove, and used that to
convince the American congress of moral prostitutes it can blackmail countries
like Switzerland and Austria , and force them to pay ransom to the
Jews or face difficulties doing business in America . The prostitutes did as
told, and succeeded at getting the Jews a few billion criminally extorted
dollars.
The Jews found this method to be so neat at getting
something for nothing – being the very definition of getting a ransom – they
tried to do it to other nations, especially those in the Middle
East . But since the leaders of those nations cannot be blackmailed
by an assembly of Beltway whores, they raised their middle fingers at them
whereupon the whores capitulated, and the Jews ran to the courts looking for
better luck there.
No, they did not go to an international court where such
cases are usually settled, they went to an American court where they did the
Jewish thing of arguing their side of the case and that of their opponent too.
As predicted, they obtained the judgment they were seeking against Iran .
They asked for money, money, money – but as Lee Smith put
it: “American victims of Iranian terrorism won judgments against the Islamic
Republic in U.S. courts, and
the Clinton
administration promised that the settlements would be paid out of the $400
million. But the Clinton White House never reimbursed the Treasury Department,
nor did the Bush administration”.
And this is why a Jewish chorus lamenting the unfolding of
the events was assembled, and Lee Smith decided to add his voice to it. The
chorus objected to the exchange that took place between the two nations,
calling it ransom payment, and Smith came up with a novel idea to explain his point
of view. Here it is:
“The administration argues that the $400 million was Tehran 's money to begin
with. That's not true. It was a payment received from the shah of Iran for a
weapons deal that was never consummated because he was toppled. Washington held the
money. It should have been distributed to Iran's American victims … The $1.3
billion of interest that the U.S. supposedly owes the Iranians is a fiction
since the U.S. was under no legal obligation to pay Iran money that was no
longer Iran's. It was ransom, billed to the U.S. taxpayer”.
To say that the U.S.
was under no legal obligation to return the money is to say it was under
obligation to distribute the money among Iran 's presumed “victims.” This
being the case, Smith is morally obligated to give a detailed account as to how
much money is owed to the presumed victims, and how much should be returned to Iran . This
done, he should say how much interest he believes had accumulated over the
decades.
When he is done with all that, he should explain why the
presumed victims did not try to enforce the judgment of the American court, and
why the U.S. government judged it wise to settle amicably with Iran rather than
let an international court impose a settlement it will have to honor, or ignore
and be declared a delinquent … like any helpless Third World country.
