east-stand-nic Posted yesterday at 08:26 Posted yesterday at 08:26 (edited) OBAMA JUST LAWYERED UP. AND NOW WE KNOW WHY. Barack Hussein Obama has retained a team of 9 criminal defense attorneys. Not civil. Not advisory. Criminal. The same man who told you “Hope and Change” is now preparing for a federal grand jury subpoena expected by March 7. ⚡️ THE $150 BILLION LIE In 2016, Obama sent Iran $150 billion and $1.7 billion in physical cash — pallets of money loaded onto unmarked cargo planes in the middle of the night. He told you it was a nuclear deal. It wasn’t. The DOJ files released yesterday show that $2.3 billion of Epstein’s network ran through Iranian banks. Deutsche Bank. JPMorgan. And Bank Melli Iran — a state-owned bank under Obama’s “nuclear deal” exemptions. Obama didn’t pay Iran to stop enriching uranium. He paid Iran to store the evidence. The server farm. The blackmail tapes. The financial records. All moved to Tehran between 2016 and 2019 — on Obama’s watch, through Obama’s channels, with Obama’s money. Trump just sent the military to recover it. Now Obama needs 9 lawyers. 🔻 THE HARVARD CONNECTION Two days ago, Lawrence Summers — Obama’s top economic advisor and former Harvard president — resigned from Harvard without explanation. His name appears on the Butterfly Foundation recipient list. The $340 million Epstein trust. Summers met with Epstein at least 14 times after his 2008 conviction. At Harvard. At the mansion. At the island. Obama appointed him as Director of the National Economic Council in 2009 — one year after Epstein’s conviction. Not despite the connection. Because of it. ⚡️ THE CLINTON TESTIMONY Bill Clinton testified under subpoena before the House Oversight Committee this week. First time in history a former president was deposed in a criminal investigation by Congress. Hillary testified separately. Behind closed doors. But here’s what matters: Clinton was asked about Obama. Specifically about a 2015 meeting at the Clinton Foundation where Obama, Clinton, Summers, and Epstein’s lawyer were all present. The subject of that meeting? “Asset relocation.” Assets. Not money. Not investments. Evidence. 🔻 THE TIMELINE 2015 — Meeting at Clinton Foundation. “Asset relocation” discussed. 2016 — Obama sends $150 billion to Iran. Pallets of cash. 2017 — NSA intercepts CIA black site communications inside Iran. 2019 — Epstein arrested. Then murdered. Tapes “disappear.” 2025 — Trump returns. Bondi appointed. Investigation reopens. 2026 — US military recovers tapes from Tehran. Obama lawyers up. Every dot connects. Every dollar traces back. Every lie has an expiration date. And Obama’s just expired.

sadoldgit Posted yesterday at 18:36 Posted yesterday at 18:36 More craziness… “This is INSANE. Military commanders told troops Trump was "anointed by Jesus" to start the apocalypse in Iran, according to over 200 complaints. Since Saturday, the Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been flooded with complaints from service members in every branch of the armed forces. By Tuesday, the number exceeded 200 complaints spanning more than 50 military installations. The through line is the same every time: commanding officers are telling troops this war is biblically ordained and the bloodshed is necessary to fulfill Christian prophecy. One noncommissioned officer reported that during a combat readiness briefing, their commander told the room everything happening in Iran was part of God's divine plan, complete with citations from the Book of Revelation. The commander reportedly had a grin on his face while delivering the message. The complaint was filed on behalf of 15 troops. Eleven of them are Christian. This is not about offended atheists. These are believers who know the difference between faith and apocalyptic war propaganda. MRFF founder Mikey Weinstein said commanders are not just invoking prophecy but are actively excited about how violent the conflict needs to become to align with end-times theology. Military leaders are reportedly thrilled at the prospect of maximum bloodshed because they think it brings Jesus back. This didn't come from nowhere. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth launched monthly Christian worship services at the Pentagon last summer and recently invited Doug Wilson, a Christian nationalist pastor who opposes women's right to vote, to lead one. At a recent convention, Hegseth declared that advancing the administration's agenda is "not political" but "biblical." Weinstein warned that when Christian nationalism infiltrates the institution that controls nuclear weapons and armed drones, it is an immediate threat to global security. Two hundred service members risked their careers to sound this alarm. The question is whether anyone with the power to act is listening.” 2

Some evangelists believe that Trump has been put on earth by God to either to give Israel more security in their promised land or as a precursor to the Second Coming and the Apocalypse.

Haaretz +1 Proponents of this view, often called the "Cyrus Prophecy," argue that like Cyrus—who allowed the Jewish people to return to Jerusalem and rebuild their temple despite not being a follower of their faith—Trump acts as a "vessel" or "anointed" agent of God to support Israel and advance Christian values, even if his personal behavior is considered un-Christian. The Guardian +2 Key Aspects of the "Trump as Cyrus" Comparison: Support for Israel: The comparison gained traction in 2017 after Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital and moved the U.S. embassy, actions viewed by supporters as comparable to Cyrus’s decree in the Bible. The "Vessel" Theology: Many Evangelicals reconcile Trump's character flaws with their support by arguing that God often uses unconventional, non-believing leaders to fulfill divine purposes. "King Cyrus of our Time":Supporters have hailed Trump with this title, particularly following events like the Gaza ceasefire and the Abraham Accords, arguing he is a protector of Jewish and Christian interests.
