I didn’t venture into this story when it surfaced a few days ago. I read it this evening.
The campaign, dubbed Project Cassandra, was launched in 2008 after the Drug Enforcement Administration amassed evidence that Hezbollah had transformed itself from a Middle East-focused military and political organization into an international crime syndicate that some investigators believed was collecting $1 billion a year from drug and weapons trafficking, money laundering and other criminal activities.
Grab a coffee. And a barf bag.

At any other point in history when the overwhelming majority of men were not feminized, Obama woukd be seinging from a tree by now, abd I don’t mean swinging like a monkey. Then again, if we lived in a time when men were not feminized Obama woukd have stayed a dope smoking loser with his gay Iranian lover and never ended up in politics.
Remember, these are the same people trying to overthrow the current US presdent. This story would not have been written had Hillery won.
yep, there is no cure.
there really is no cure.
Yes there is a cure. Same one Scipio Africanus used to solve the Carthage problem. No one has ever heard from the Carthaginians since.
Klinton and WH Bush operation through Mena Arkansas, same shit different pile. Why would any one be surprised by this?
I can almost hear them saying, ‘well, if Americans didn’t buy cocaine, they wouldn’t be selling it,’ while reading that.
“Hezbollah is a very interesting organization,” Brennan told a Washington conference, saying it had evolved from “purely a terrorist organization” to a militia and, ultimately, a political party with representatives in the Lebanese Parliament and Cabinet, according to a Reuters report.
So according to the guy who ran the CIA for Obama, Hezbollah “evolved” away from being a terrorist organization to become a political party. All the while his CIA was telling him Hezbollah was operating a massive drug trafficking and crime syndicate with an income of a billion dollars a year. Jesus Christ.. these people ran the show for 8 years and were a hair’s breadth from running it for another term.
Obama was the most traitorous President to ever hold office. But we ALL already knew that BEFORE he (Xe? Shim?) was elected. The media KNEW it, but refused to report it. The voters KNEW it … but were afraid to NOT vote for our FIRST half-Black President.
And then … the Republicans nominated a wimpy candidate named Romney … who didn’t appear to even WANT to win … and in his second 4-Years … Obama was “much freer” to caper unmolested in the bowels of the Deep State.
God delivered Donald Trump, and now Republicans like Mitch McConnell MUST stay on-board and return TRUTH, JUSTICE, and THE AMERICAN WAY … to our nation. Like NOT giving-away our country to the open borders crowd.
“there really is no cure”
I beg to differ: http://boisdejustice.com/Drawings/Drawings.html
Gallows humor? Or DIY Justice?
If Congress is unable to prosecute and incarcerate the Obama criminal cartel … I propose that MY President’s CIA deploy an army of poison-tipped umbrellas to mete out the justice delayed … so it will NOT blossom into Justice denied.
I advise HER to take no more walks in the woods. Lest the search party discovers HER half-eaten carcass. At the least, we should make HER a Prisoner in HER own basement server bathroom.

Wow…that was a most interesting and enlightening article….40 min later.
I have long suspected that Islamic terror groups were in cahoots with cartels all over South America…however the breadth and width of their operations is quite something to behold. Used Car lots in the USA…simply wow. One hopes these are being looked at very very closely.
OBAMA
….and how many hostages came back..?? NONE
….and how much Money was transferred..?? 100 Million or Billion..?
….and how much further away is Iran from Nuclear capability. ZERO – they are closer now than ever.
That the Islamic (_i_) kisser himself would knowingly shut down intelligence operations against Hezbollah to pursue his BS deal with Iran….knowing that to do so would and likely did result in American Deaths = TREASON
What else do ya call it..?? No different than our own resident Imbecile with his “ISIS returnees have much to offer Canada mentality.”
A sickness indeed and a virulent one that requires eliminating with extreme prejudice…I’ll willingly volunteer…
Jamie, I have no use for a reduced scale model. I have no personal knowledge of any dogs or cats that have planned the destruction of their own homeland. So…. I propose a manufacturing business that makes the real thing. I can see it now. Serial N0.1 at the top of the capitol steps with a head bouncing all the way down to the parking area. No need for a head basket.
Aye. I think it might only take one – pour encourager les autres.
Come on guys, we’re better than this. I make no claims to knowing Hezbollah’s potential involvement in drug trafficking or organized crime. I detested the Obama administration and what it stood for. But large swaths of this article are obviously made up out of whole cloth. Seriously, do you really believe the DEA (the U.S. Drug Enforcement Organization!) has somehow morphed into an international espionage agency that has penetrated into the top echelons of the Iranian, Russian, Venezuelan and Syrian governments? Do you believe these guys have the goods on Putin needing to use a Hezbollah linked weapons smuggler in Syria and Iraq? (As opposed to the Russian military freighters docking in the Port of Tartus or the Russia-Iraq contract for T-90s and the SU 25s.) Do you really believe there is this high level operative named Ghost who moves tons of cocaine for his day job, but in his spare time moves sarin gas into Syria? Who is so unknown they don’t even have a picture of him, but is so well known they know the café he goes to each day to chat sociably about his drug running and military hardware selling plans over the next eight hours?
One could go on and on picking apart this garbage, but consider these two points. These guys in the DEA ran this operation for close to a decade, and didn’t get one Hezbollah linked arrest (although they tried to staple themselves to the Europeans that did.) Count how many excuses in this article they came up with as to why they were so close to breaking Hezbollah’s drug scheme open before X, Y or Z happened, finally culminating in the excuse mean Obama wouldn’t let them arrest anyone. Does this really sound credible? Keep in mind they started under the Bush years. The second point is, does it really seem logical that Iran would walk away from the dropping sanctions deal because Hezbollah operatives in far off Lebanon were charged with moving drugs into the U.S.? Really?
Politico produces crap. Most of it is targeted against conservatives. Why would it be any different when it was targeted against liberals?
“Does this really sound credible? ”
In the administration that gave us Hillary, Lerner, Holder, et al? What do you think?
Two words:

Not a big stretch to …

Hi Kenji and Jamie MacMaster
I have absolutely no problem with entertaining the idea that the Obama administration chose to go easy on Hezbollah. As mentioned, I do not know if Hezbollah is involved in organized crime and I do not pretend to know all of the questionable decisions made by the Obama administration. What I do know is that there is so many clear falsehoods in this Politico article that you have throw the entire piece out. Take for instance this gem “Of particular concern: A 25–year-old Lebanese man that Kelly described as the network’s “command and control element,” according to the email. The young man was not only in contact “with Joumaa and some of the other top drug traffickers in the world” but also “leaders of a foreign [country’s] black ops special forces; executive leadership of Hezbollah; and a representative of a company which is most likely facilitating the development of WMDs.”” Whatever one might think of Hezbollah, they are very careful. It is an exceedingly tight organization and the upper echelons are very clandestine. I can assure you, the only command and control element a 25 year old would be in charge of was an infantry section, and most certainly not hanging with their executive leadership and special forces, let alone having WMD as his assigned hobby.
Sorry, but every third paragraph in this article can be lampooned. Whatever truth there might be mixed in as well is entirely tainted. Toss this article in the trash and try to find something credible on the subject.

So, is that better than, or equal to, CNN and CBC?
“So, is that better than, or equal to, CNN and CBC?”
Pretty much the same for CNN. This article was longer so it created a larger number of eye rolls. CBC is in it’s own special category of distorted leftist government sponsored propaganda.
Andy, I didn’t read the whole article today, I read it a while back. But your assertion that a 25 year old…..you don’t get out much, do you???I don’t know, and neither do you, what is BS and what is valid, butt picking on and age, is nonsense. MS-13 and all “gangs” have young and old types in various positions in their hierarchy.
NME666: I’m with you just look at the gangs like MS-13 it doesn’t matter what age you are as long as you will do the job and keep your mouth shut or die! Like you I read Project Cassandra awhile ago and printed off a copy.
I’m starting to know where the Obama’s both got their millions, as they both came into the White House with little in the bank!
