The Obama administration “derailed” a massive investigation into drug trafficking and other illegal activities by the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah over fears that it could anger Iran at a time when Obama was attempting to secure a nuclear deal with the nation, according to a 14,000 word report from Politico.
The article paints a clear picture of an administration that was willing to do whatever it takes, including allowing cocaine to flow into the United States, (which led to an unknown number of deaths of Americans by overdose) to pass a nuclear deal that many in his own party didn’t even support.
The law enforcement campaign that the Obama administration specifically and purposefully derailed was known as “Project Cassandra” and was launched in 2008 after the DEA had confirmed that Hezbollah was now in the business of selling drugs, and lots of them.
Politico reports:
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.
Over the next eight years, agents working out of a top-secret DEA facility in Chantilly, Virginia, used wiretaps, undercover operations and informants to map Hezbollah’s illicit networks, with the help of 30 U.S. and foreign security agencies.
They followed cocaine shipments, some from Latin America to West Africa and on to Europe and the Middle East, and others through Venezuela and Mexico to the United States. They tracked the river of dirty cash as it was laundered by, among other tactics, buying American used cars and shipping them to Africa. And with the help of some key cooperating witnesses, the agents traced the conspiracy, they believed, to the innermost circle of Hezbollah and its state sponsors in Iran.
Make no mistake, despite denials by the literal officials who allowed the drugs to be run into the country in the first place, this was a specific move by the Obama administration who decided a nuclear deal with Iran was more important than stopping a drug dealing terrorist organization, And they apparently had no problem openly undermining Project Cassandra.
The Politico report continues:
But as Project Cassandra reached higher into the hierarchy of the conspiracy, Obama administration officials threw an increasingly insurmountable series of roadblocks in its way, according to interviews with dozens of participants who in many cases spoke for the first time about events shrouded in secrecy, and a review of government documents and court records.
When Project Cassandra leaders sought approval for some significant investigations, prosecutions, arrests and financial sanctions, officials at the Justice and Treasury departments delayed, hindered or rejected their requests.
The Justice Department declined requests by Project Cassandra and other authorities to file criminal charges against major players such as Hezbollah’s high-profile envoy to Iran, a Lebanese bank that allegedly laundered billions in alleged drug profits, and a central player in a U.S.-based cell of the Iranian paramilitary Quds force.
And the State Department rejected requests to lure high-value targets to countries where they could be arrested.
“They serially ripped apart this entire effort that was very well supported and resourced, and it was done from the top down,” claimed David Asher who himself had helped establish the operation that Obama and his surrogates fought against.
Even more shocking, the Obama administration also BLOCKED efforts to arrest various terrorist operatives within Hezbollah, including a man known only as Ghost that authorities believe is one of the worlds biggest cocaine and chemical weapon dealers!
Project Cassandra members say administration officials also blocked or undermined their efforts to go after other top Hezbollah operatives including one nicknamed the ‘Ghost allowing them to remain active despite being under sealed U.S. indictment for years.
People familiar with his case say the Ghost has been one of the world’s biggest cocaine traffickers, including to the U.S., as well as a major supplier of conventional and chemical weapons for use by Syrian President Bashar Assad against his people.
You truly cannot make this stuff up folks! Keep in mind that this was published by a mainstream media outlet that the rest of the establishment press has considered one of their own for years.
With that being said, it is safe to assume that key Obama officials involved in allowing Americans to be killed by cocaine will deny deny deny and the larger mainstream media apparatus will mostly ignore this absolute bombshell of a story.
This is BY FAR bigger than anything released about Russia supposedly helping Trump win the election but we can safely assume that the deep state puppet media will continue to push the Russian narrative while ignoring what amounts to an epic level of corruption by the past administration.

And we are supposed to be what? Surprised? Shocked? Mortified? C’mon boys and girls, no one actually thought Obong-a didn’t support drug use now did they? Same deal with his general respect for law and order. Fast and Furious ring any bells? Bowing to the Saud King? Sham marriage to a man dressed in drag? The c*ck-s*cker was dirty in every way, known perversion, illicit undertaking known to mankind. Wake me up for the next article. Over, Out.
Where were the people we pay to look out for stuff like this. Now what are they going to do about it. Nothing???
they were also paid even more to look the other way. perhaps spying on trump was more fun too
And don’t forget the 2 CIA Agents busted a few years back busted on the Mexican Border Smuggling in dozens of Kikos of Cocaine. The CIA is the worlds biggest Drug Dealer by far. Why do you think thr real reSon tye US occupies Afghanistan? Heroine Trade.
They are in on it, paid well to let the operation go on. Crime pays corruption. Only the American people can do anything about it, but my confidence in people in our society is very lacking.
One could only hope that one of his ss would blow his fucking brains out.
Simple: Barry Hussein O’Banana was the WROST thing to ever happen to this god damned country period!! That coon deserves the Gas Chamber.
You damn sure made me laugh. And yes you called him the right critter.
Hezbollah, CIA, isis, FBI…. They’re all the same…
Khazarian Mafia
Zionist propaganda! LOL @ Hezbollah cocaine running.
yup…
And it makes me wonder why this article does not toss in “there is only one reason the U.S. military is still in Afghanistan”…
Some day history will look back and shake its finger at how corrupt things in this world really are.
History will ask why the citizens of this country allowed our leaders to profit from running drugs while penalizing the users of the drugs by incarcerating more people than any country in the history of the planet.
They make money coming and going. It is a joke.
The fact they made a major Hollywood starring Tom Cruise (“American Made”) about our government running drugs show what a complete joke it is… they are laughing at us.
I am so nauseated by it all that I can not even bring myself to watch that movie. It is sickening.
I watched “Lord of War” and it made me sick… sht is so rigged… it is sickening.
This doesn’t surprise me at all. Maybe they will get enough on that TURD to finally flush his ass down the toilet.

Ha, I used to make notes that said “free Obama dolls” and taped them to the toilet seats in public bathrooms with an arrow pointing to the bowl, ha ha ha ha it was funny shit!
Obola’s kids do resemble floaters. All blacks do, really. Floaters of all shapes and sizes, and all smell like shit. Flush em.
I made up the same signs. i used my computer to make them up. I put dozens of them up around here. Town hall bathrooms, restaurants, gas stations, every place I could get into and use the crapper. I still get the urge and print some and apply.
Nothing new. From Air America in Laos through Wachovia laundering $378 Billion (with a B) in dope money with no one charged and a pittance $160 million (yes with an M) fine its business as usual. I’de like to think that the system has to keep stuff like this from Trump because one would be utterly naive to think that anything has fundamentally changed at the CIA. Think the Afghans on “our side” gave up poppy production?
Well, at least they weren’t as corrupt as Hilary. Oh wait… I take that back.
Kinda like comparing Hitler and Stalin, as to who was better I guess…

Good analogy
Hezbollah has been operating in certain parts of South America, Central America, and Mexico for the past 10-15 years. The drug trade is how they stay afloat financially. Nothing new here. Just another example of the evil of Obamanation.
Hezbollah operates out of a lawless region at the bottom of Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay. They have been there for the last 20+yrs. They are aligned with the Mexican Cartels on our southern border, where they help smuggle drugs, terrorists, OTM’s into the USA. They are also in Cuba, where they have forgers who specialize in creating false passports and other documents. The Al-Quds are in Venzuela, where Hugo Chavez gave them 2 military bases to operate out of. They have set up medium range missiles there. They also operate with the Russians and Chinese SF in Vz also. They are here in the US in number too.

Government hands have been dirty with dope for 50 years at least. As much as we hate to admit it Obama is far more “the norm” than not. Its well past the traditional Republican v Democrat. I hope that whatever is going on is happening behind Trump back and not with his blessing.
Kevin2, there’s all manner of things happening behind Trump’s back. CIA is still the BIGGEST drug cartel last time I checked. And I question how many of the things happening behind the scenes he is even aware of, let alone approve of.
The corruption is institutional. Its not in the system, it is the system. What form of government do we have? Its not a functioning Republic nor a Democracy which it was never meant to be. It has all of the characteristics of some from of oligarchy, likely a plutocratic one. Regardless its as phony as a $3 bill. If the President doesn’t control the CIA where does that leave “We The People” in the equation? I figure SOL.
Bathhouse Barry is a criminal POS. Hang him and his trans wife Michael Robinson.
As sad as this is Obama is virtually indistinguishable from his predecessors and in one respect better. He did not invade Syria. Choosing a single party or person to blame is trendy but wholly inaccurate. If Romney or McCain was POUS you might not have gay marriage but more likely WWIII.
That shit was going on way before Obama. He took notes from the Clintons.
The corruption of the previous 8 years and more is completely ignored while a U.S. president is under siege, with a never ending investigation, by those very same corrupt people of the past 8 years, and no one has the power to stop it! Not even the president. That pretty well sums up the state of this nation!
I can’t say I’m surprised. These are not moral people we are dealing with. They are trying everything in their collective power to usher in a perversely degenerate, immoral, godless society. But first they must dismantle EVERYTHING that defines us a good and virtuous nation.
As long as Americans still hold tightly to even a tiny sliver of the 10 Commandments doctrine, the Progressives will be stymied and frustrated.
They will however resort to ever increasing extreme measures to separate us from what we know to be good, honest, right and godly. This will no doubt get much worse before it gets better.
Keep fighting the Good Fight folks and have yourselves a very Merry Christmas day. Cheers.
Yep. You’re right on the money. It is why they’re marketing transgenderism to the public because it is designed to destroy the family. Strong families create strong countries and are the backbone to the American way of life..
They are completely to militantly immoral. They are psychopaths. If the progressive communists ever get away with their agenda they will make hitler and even stalin look like a cake walk in the park
Soetoro bragged about doing cocaine so why would he stop the flow of it?
Soetoro bragged about siding with the Muslims so why go against them.
Where did he get the money for his cocaine from?
He bragged about doing drugs when he was in high school.
We used to be a nation of laws. When laws are not enforced, we become a lawless society. This shouldn’t come to a surprise to anyone.
democracy always fails and that is their plan for the excuse to replace it with more democracy
Way past due for a reset!
Oh say it isn’t so!
aaaaand
nothin will happen
because we all have become such a spineless nation
Hilary , still free
Holder, still free
Reid, still free
list goes on for miles
and the new one
Rosie O’Donnell
bribing two senators to vote NO on new tax law
2 million each if they voted no
thats a 15 year felony.. will the rule of law snap to attention on this one? probably not
Well I don’t know ’bout you-all but I am tee-totally shocked I tell ya!
