Calls For Obama's Immediate Arrest Begin After What He Was Caught Sending To Middle

East Several days ago evidence emerged about Iran's

continued violations of United Nations resolutions by way of providing missiles to Houthi rebels.

The weapons, which Iran is providing to Houthi rebels, Hezbollah, and Hamas, are possible

because of an illegal action the Obama administration committed when they transferred in total $1.7

billion to the radical Islamic government in Iran.

The cover story that the Obama administration ran with was that the $1.7 billion paid to

Iran, including a $400 million dollar ransom payment, was in fact part of a settlement

agreement from a cancelled arms deal from 1979, when radical Islamic terrorists took

over the Iranian government.

Iran had been arguing for years that they were owed this money, yet many Iranian officials

were referring to the initial $400 million cash payment as a ransom for American citizens

being held in Iranian prisons.

Aside from the fact that the Obama administration was responsible for funding a terrorist sympathizing

government, what has never been widely discussed in the mainstream media is that Obama administration

officials essentially committed money laundering when they transferred this $1.7 billion to

Iran.

Essentially, what President Obama authorized was for funds to be wired from the Federal

Reserve Bank in New York, converted to Swiss Francs, and the money was then moved to a

Swiss National Bank.

Once this was done the Federal Reserve Bank of New York withdrew the funds from the account

and then physically transferred the money to an official from the Iranian Central Bank

who was waiting on a tarmac in Iran.Documents revealed by the Treasury Department stated:

"For the first settlement payment in January, Treasury assisted the Defense Finance and

Accounting Services (DFAS) in crafting a wire instruction to transfer the $400 million in

principal from the Iran FMS [Foreign Military Sales program] account on January 14, 2016.

Treasury worked with DFAS and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY), which was

acting as Treasury's financial agent, so that the funds were converted from dollars

to Swiss francs and credited to a FRBNY account at the Swiss National Bank (SNB), which is

the central bank of the Switzerland [sic]."

The evidence of this was presented to the media by Ambassador Nikki Haley, saying at

a press conference that, "The nuclear deal has done nothing to moderate the regime's

conduct in other areas.

Aid from Iran's revolutionary guard to dangerous militias and terror groups is increasing.

Its ballistic missile and advanced weapons are turning up in war zones across the region.

It's hard to find a conflict or a terrorist group in the Middle East that does not have

Iran's fingerprints all over it."

Speaking on the particulars of the transfer, conservative commentator from Fox News, Charles

Krauthammer said, "They had to print the money here, ship it over to Switzerland, turn

it into Swiss Francs and Euros, and then ship it over to Iran.

If a private company had done this, this is called money laundering.

The CEO would be in jail right now."

What Charles Krauthammer was referring to was a report in the Wall Street Journal stating

that the Justice Department objected to the way the State Department and the Obama administration

handled the transfer of funds to Iran.

The Justice Department's objection arose because what Obama and his minions did was

illegal.

Essentially, what the Obama administration did, along with the help of the Federal Reserve

Bank of New York was commit the crime of money laundering.

The way that the Obama administration performed this transfer of funds to Iran was done so

in an effort to go around U.S. sanctions and laws since the money was in reality a ransom

payment for U.S. hostages.

Congress investigated the events and logistics surrounding these payments to Iran, but they

were unable to complete a thorough investigation because Obama and his co-conspirators blocked

various requests for detailed information regarding these payoffs to Iran.

Adam Kredo from the Washington Free Beacon reported, "By withholding critical details

and stonewalling congressional inquiries, President Obama seems to be hiding whether

or not he and others broke U.S. law by sending $1.7 billion in cash to Iran," Pompeo told

the Free Beacon.

"But Americans can plainly see that the Obama administration laundered this money

in order to circumvent U.S. law and appease the Islamic Republic of Iran."What brought

these events to the attention of Congress was the timing.

Mike Pompeo (R. Kan.) who was a House Intelligence Committee member at the time, and is now the

Director of the CIA said, "Think about this timeline: the U.S. withdraws $400 million

in cash from the Swiss National Bank and then physically transports it to another city to

hand-off to Iranian officials—three days before Iran releases four American hostages.

But it gets worse: less than a week after this, the U.S. again sends hordes of cash

to Iran.

As we speak, Iran is still holding three more Americans hostage and I fear what precedent

this administration has set."

Based on Iran's current violations of UN rules and sanctions, it is clear they used

the money they received from the Obama administration to continue funding terrorism, as well as

their proliferation of nuclear weapons.

Thankfully, President Trump and Ambassador Nikki Haley are determined to stop Iran along

with CIA Director Mike Pompeo.

However, the question remains if whether or not anyone from the Obama administration,

including President Obama will be held accountable for funding terrorism?

What If the United States Was a Company? - Duration: 8:07.

If you've seen our shows on the mammoth corporations whose long arms extend into just

about all corners of the planet, you'll understand the sheer size of these businesses

and why we sometimes compare them to countries in themselves.

You'll also know that many of these companies come from the USA.

This includes tech giants such as Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and Google, but also the businesses

lining the shelves of our kitchens and bathrooms such as PepsiCo and Johnson and Johnson.

Between the burger behemoth McDonalds and retail giant Walmart, they employ about 4

million people worldwide.

That's roughly the population of Moldova or just less than half the population of Israel

working at just two American companies.

Well, today we are going to compare this successful capitalist powerhouse as one entity, in this

episode of the Infographics Show; If the United States was a company?

Don't forget to subscribe and click the bell button so

that you can be part of our Notification Squad.

First we should have a look at who is working in this company.

It would consist of around 325,000,000 employees, 81 percent of whom would be city slickers.

There would be slightly more female workers than male workers, and over the age of 85,

there would be double the amount of women than men.

About one quarter of our workforce would be under the age of 21, while the median age

of our worker would be 37.8.

Diversity is a huge issue these days, so we should have a look at the ethnicity of our

workforce.

We wouldn't be very diverse at all actually, with around 76.9 percent of employees identifying

as white.

Many of them would tell you they have English, German, Irish, Scottish, Scotch-Irish and

Welsh ancestors, along with many other European nations.

Hispanic and Latino Americans would make up 17.8 percent of our workforce, and 13.3 percent

of our employees would identity as black or African American.

6 percent of people would say they are Asian American, about 3.2 percent Middle Eastern

American, and less than one percent would identify as Native American.

If America was a company, about 4.3 percent of adults that could work would not be working

right now, if we look at present unemployment rates.

This doesn't really make any sense in view of this show, so let's just say these folks

are presently on sabbatical.

Our company would be the richest in the world, with a total earnings of 18.57 trillion dollars,

if we take net profits as the same as the GDP.

Per person, that means $57,466.79.

There would, however, be a huge inequality gap in our company.

According to one Berkeley economist featured in The Atlantic in 2016, just one percent

of our company would earn as much as 20 percent as the rest of our employees.

In fact, some of our employees would be having a pretty hard time subsisting in the lower

ranks of our complex company.

The Census Bureau in 2017 did however report some good news and that was that the number

of us living below the poverty line has decreased lately to just 12.7 percent or just over 40

million people.

The employees hit the hardest would be black and Hispanic, while white and Asian employees

would, on average, be doing the best.

The Census Bureau explains that US poverty does not have to mean living in a tin shack

and barbequing rats, but more not having sufficient money to live a stable and healthy life.

It put that at a yearly income of $24,257 for a family of four.

The worst off of us American employees on average would live in Alabama, where 19.2

percent of employees would live below the poverty line.

But how are we making money?

First of all, to take care of everyone in our company and keep the infrastructure intact;

to defend us from other large companies, we have to save money for our yearly budget.

America the company would spend about 3.9 trillion dollars on that budget.

Most of this we would get from Income tax, payroll tax, and a bit more from excise tax

and corporate tax.

This should insure most of us against hardships and make sure our country stays in one piece.

We will actually overspend, so will have to borrow a bit of cash.

To accrue this massive amount of tax money we need industry.

So what kind of things make cash for company America?

Well, one good thing for us is that we are making a strong currency.

The dollar is the world's reserve currency, because we have the most stable company on

the planet.

Just having this powerful currency is a bonus in itself to our company.

As one economist summed it up: "In short, U.S. firms get easier access to capital because

of the dollar's reserve status."

Sticking to making money out of working with money, the banks are a big industry in our

company.

CNN, one of our largest media organizations, reported in 2017 that banking profits were

the highest in a long time at $171.3 billion, mainly because our company CEO, Donald Trump,

relaxed regulations.

Banks make money by lending money and charging our company employees interest and also lots

of fees.

NPR reports that that's only half the profits, with investments making the rest of the money

for banks.

Finance and insurance in total makes up 8 percent of our GDP, at $1.159 trillion.

But banking and finance is only the 4th largest industry in our company economy.

Our biggest business is real estate, which includes renting and leasing.

This makes up 13 percent of our GDP, or $2.2 trillion.

Next is professional and business services, which covers many of the businesses we deal

with day to day.

This is about 12 percent of our GDP or $2.098 trillion.

In third place comes state and local government profits.

This makes up 9.1 percent of our GDP or $1.5 trillion.

We know the next is finance and banking, and the following five in order are: Health care

and social assistance; Manufacturing of durable goods; Wholesale trade; Retail trade; Manufacturing

of nondurable goods and in 10th place: Information.

This includes publishing on all the platforms you can think of.

Even if these are the biggest industries, that doesn't mean they are the most profitable.

If you've seen our shows on businesses that break the records in bringing in the bucks,

you'll know that tech, or IT, is leading the way.

In fact, it's said Apple is well on its way to becoming the first company with a value

of one trillion dollars.

You won't be surprised then to know that our IT services sector is the second most

profitable business we have, but in first place it is the health and pharmaceutical

industry.

The companies with the highest net margins were generic pharmaceutical companies in first

place, investment managing in second, tobacco in third and major pharmaceutical companies

fourth.

It seems that health is where we really know how to make the big money.

But where do we all work?

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, things have certainly changed over the last

hundred years, with not many of us now working in the mining industry as we used to do back

in the day.

It's too complex to break down into actual jobs as there are literally thousands upon

thousands of different jobs.

But as of 2016 the biggest sectors in America the company are as follows: Education and

services – in the first spot by a long shot.

Second is the wholesale and retail trade; third is professional business services, fourth

is manufacturing, fifth is leisure and hospitality; sixth is finance services; seventh is construction,

eighth is just classed as 'other services'; ninth as public admin, and IT is in tenth

place.

So, who is our favorite country company to do business with?

That would be the European Union, which we might call a conglomeration of entities as

it contains lots of companies.

The latest US government stats tell us that in total, trade between the EU and US was

1.1 trillion dollars.

That was $276 billion in exports and $416 billion in imports.

Our next biggest trading partner is China, although we import $462 billion from China

and only export about a quarter of that amount.

We have almost equal import and export amounts with the next two countries on our trading

friends' list, and they are Canada and Mexico.

Do we have much competition?

Well, China has just been put ahead of us in terms of the world's largest economy,

although some experts disagree.

Even so, most predict it will soon happen.

Will China's growing computer hardware industry ever catch to up ours?

Will India's IT services make bigger ripples in the pond?

Can countries in Asia and Europe mount a challenge to the USA's huge pharmaceutical industry?

More importantly, when are us average workers going to get a pay-rise?!

What was Chris Cornell's cause of death, when did the Soundgarden star commit suicide - Duration: 4:47.

How did Chris Cornell die?

Chris died on May 17 at the age of 52.

The Medical Examiner's Office said in a statement :"The cause of death has been determined as hanging by suicide. A full autopsy report has not yet been completed," after conducting an initial autopsy.

A police spokesman told two Detroit newspapers that the singer was found hanged.

The Wayne County office: "There is no additional information at this time.

Dad-of-three Cornell has been due to play at US festival Rock the Range in Columbus on May 18.

His last tweet saw him post a picture outside the Fox Theatre in Detroit, Michigan, where he performed with Soundgarden, with The Pretty Reckless supporting.

Meanwhile, new details have emerged about the singers last day.

Bodyguard Martin Kirsten saw the 52-year-old rock star moments before his hotel suicide police papers reveal.

Mr Kirsten – who previously dated Heidi Klum – helped the singer fix his computer and gave him two Ativan sleeping pills.

But the security man had to kick in two hotel doors after receiving a panicked call from Cornell's wife, Vicky Karayiannis – who reported the singer slurring his words in a final phone call.

Mr Kirsten says he found the star lying on the bathroom floor, "with blood running from his mouth", according to the police report.

Papers obtained by The Detroit News, claims that after finishing his last show at 11.30pm on Wednesday night, Cornell was escorted to his room at Detroit's MGM Grand hotel by Mr Kirsten.

Ms Karayiannis said: "When we spoke after the show, I noticed he was slurring his words; he was different.

"When he told me he may have taken an extra Ativan or two, I contacted security and asked that they check on him."

A lawyer for the family has since confirmed Cornell took this for his anxiety, police reports reveal.

The family of the musician, who struggled with addiction before seeking treatment in 2002, dispute the cause of death – instead suspecting that he suffered adverse effects from either Ativan or other substances.

Kirk Pasich, a lawyer for the family, said: "Without the results of toxicology tests, we do not know what was going on with Chris—or if any substances contributed to his demise.

"Chris, a recovering addict, had a prescription for Ativan and may have taken more Ativan than recommended dosages.

"The family believes that if Chris took his life, he did not know what he was doing, and that drugs or other substances may have affected his actions."

Ativan has been said to give users suicidal thoughts if taken in a high dosage.

Morbid fans of the tragic rock star have been calling the MGM in the hope of staying in the same room where he died.

Death-obsessed tourists phoned the venue asking to rent room 1136 where the Soundgarden singer killed himself.

The Detroit Free Press reported that the room in question is unavailable and there's no date for when or if it will be used for guests again.

A reporter from the publication managed to book the $600 (£463) a night room but was told 1136 was not available and offered another room when they turned up.
