Robert Spencer: Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren hosting call with pro-Tehran lobby group NIAC 0 (0)

Which side are they on? The answer to that is clear.

Democratic presidential contenders Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) and Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) are slated to host a conference call with an Iranian-American advocacy group that has been accused of lobbying on Tehran’s behalf.

Along with Reps. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.) and Barbara Lee (D., Calif.), Sanders and Warren are scheduled to speak Wednesday evening with members of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC). The group played a central role in what former Obama national security adviser Ben Rhodes called the administration’s pro-Iran Deal “echo chamber,” spinning journalists, lawmakers, and citizens.

The Democratic candidates’ willingness to engage with NIAC—a group that aggressively pushed the accord and has strongly advocated against U.S. sanctions on the Islamic Republic—reflects their desire to see America reenter the nuclear deal, which released up to $150 billion in cash to the regime. Much of that money has gone to fund Iran’s regional terror operations, including recent attacks on American personnel stationed in the region.

NIAC has deep ties to Iran’s regime, including senior officials like Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif. Zarif worked closely with NIAC founder Trita Parsi, who, in turn, consulted with the Obama administration.

Parsi lobbied Congress against sanctions on Iran in 2013 and met with Obama administration officials at the White House dozens of times leading up to the nuclear deal’s signing in 2015. Multiple U.S. officials and senior congressional sources informed the Washington Free Beacon that Parsi helped the White House craft its messaging as it tried to sell the nuclear deal to the public. The NIAC chief met with Rhodes, among other top officials, during multiple visits throughout the Obama era.

Rhodes delivered a keynote speech at the 2016 NIAC leadership conference.

NIAC was ordered to pay more than $180,000 in 2013 to the legal defense fund of Hassan Daioleslam, an Iranian-American writer, after a failed defamation lawsuit. Daioleslam had accused NIAC of failing to disclose its clandestine lobbying efforts to undo sanctions on Tehran, the Free Beacon previously reported. The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia said Parsi’s work was “not inconsistent with the idea that he was first and foremost an advocate for the regime.”

Trump pulls ‘sick’ Obama out of the shadows – “Jesse Lee Peterson exposes ‘silent coup attempt’ by ‘dishonest’ ex-president”

by Jesse Lee Peterson

Democrats are doing everything they can to prevent President Donald Trump from assuming full control of the U.S. government, including approving the building of a “shadow” government under Barack Obama just two miles from the White House. But Saturday, President Trump pulled Obama out of the shadows – he revealed that “sick” Obama tapped his phones prior to the 2016 presidential election. It’s on!
    President Trump made the allegations via Twitter: “How low has President Obama gone to tap my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!” Obama spokesman Kevin Lewis replied: “Neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any U.S. citizen. Any suggestion otherwise is simply false.”
    Yet radio host Mark Levin, using establishment media sources, laid out a solid case on “Fox & Friends” that the Obama administration indeed had Trump under surveillance prior to the November elections. Is anyone surprised that lawless Obama would wiretap Trump’s phones? If it weren’t for the lapdog and corrupt media, there would be little doubt that Obama’s administration would be known as the most dishonest and treasonous bunch in U.S. history.
    Obama appointees are wreaking havoc across several government agencies and leaking information to the press in an unprecedented attempt to undermine and destroy Donald Trump. Leaks based on fake documents being pushed by fake news outlets led to the resignation of Michael Flynn, Trump’s national security adviser. Now, the Democrats and left-wing media are targeting Attorney General Jeff Sessions with vague claims about supposedly nefarious Russian contacts.
Order Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson’s book, “The Antidote: Healing America from the Poison of Hate, Blame, and Victimhood.”
    Reports indicating that Obama tapped Trump’s phones are credible and very serious, yet the mainstream media are dismissing them. Remember, Obama allowed U.S. intelligence to listen to calls from German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s mobile phone, and reportedly wiretapped our great ally, Israel, during Iran nuclear negotiations.
    The left and the global elites will never accept Donald Trump, and they will do everything possible to thwart his efforts to drain the swamp, reform the government and implement an America-first agenda. As Paul Sperry revealed in a recent report, Obama has set up his well-funded Organizing for Action group to try to stop Donald Trump from succeeding in his efforts to roll back Obamacare and undo Obama’s policies. Obama’s top aide, Valerie Jarrett, is moving into the Obamas’ Washington, D.C., mansion to help manage their efforts to run a shadow government to carry out nothing less than a silent coup attempt.
    Satan operates in the dark, in the figment of our imagination. But when the lie is exposed, it no longer has any power over us. Obama and his underlings operate just like their father, and when they’re fully exposed, as he was, God willing they’ll also be tossed out of their “kingdom.”
    Obama was not raised by his father, and he was surely spiritually damaged by his self-loathing mother, so he naturally sides with the children of the lie. I write about Obama in my book, “The Antidote.” Obama was raised to hate America and whites – the “oppressors.” Obama grew up angry and, therefore, was susceptible to lies. That’s why he identifies with all the angry blacks and left-wing malcontents. In his hatred, he has become weak, so the only way he can “be strong” is to subvert from the shadows.
    In contrast, Donald Trump is very open and direct in his dealings with people and issues. He is one of the most candid and forthright people we’ve seen on the national stage. If Trump doesn’t like something or believes he is being treated unfairly, he has no problem saying so publicly. Just look at how he took the corrupt liberal media to the woodshed over their unfair and fake news reporting. He corrected a room full of reporters with strength and love out in the open. He is doing the same thing with Obama. He’s dealing with Obama straight up and exposing his evil deeds in public.
    The reason Trump is able to do this is because he has a confidence within that comes from God. If you read his book, “The Art of the Deal,” or listen to his interviews where he talks about his upbringing, President Trump says he was very close to his parents – especially his father. This is what gives him the confidence and ability to deal with people with strength and not take things personally. If you love your father, you love God. It’s a simple spiritual principle.
    President Donald Trump has shown us all how to fight against the left and win. Some of these people are our family, friends and co-workers. If you look closely, you’ll notice that those on the left – like Obama – have no real connection with their earthly father; therefore, they’re angry and are disconnected from God. Seeing the cause of their anger will help us deal compassionately, yet firmly, with them.
    Our president has given a clear signal that the shadow war is over. The battle is on! The time is here for us to step out into the light and help “drain the swamp!”
