Yeah. LITICO: Obama had collaborated with Hezbollah terrorist group

Campaign called project “Cassandra”, released in 2008 after Drug Management Forces have collected evidence saying Hezbollah had been transformed from a military focused in the Middle East to an international crime organisation believed to have collected about $1 billion over a year from arms trafficking, money laundering and criminal activities.

Over eight years, agents working outside a secret DEA facility in Chantilly, Virginia, used wiretaps, undercover operations and informants to determine Hezbollah's illegal networks, with the help of 30 American states and foreign security agencies.

They attended cocaine shipments, from several countries in Latin America, West Africa, Europe, the Middle East and other countries such as Venezuela, Mexico, and the United States, broadcast Periscope.

But, while project “Cassandra” reached the hierarchy of the plot, Obama administration officials threw an increasingly insurmountable series of barricades on the road, according to interviews with dozens of participants who in many cases spoke for the first time about hidden events and a review of government documents and judicial data.

When project leaders “Cassandra” called for approval for several investigations, prosecutions, arrests and important sanctions, officials in the Justice Departments and Treasury delayed, prevented or rejected their demands.

“This was a political decision, it was a systematic decision,” said David Asher, who had helped build the “project Cassandra” as an illegal finance analyst of the Department of Defense.

Obama was in office in 2009, promising to improve relations with Iran as part of a broader approach to the Muslim world. On campaign trails, he had repeatedly confirmed that the Bush administration's policy to exert pressure on Iran to prevent its illegal nuclear programme was not functioning and that it would go to Tehran to reduce tensions.

By May 2010, Brenan, assistant president of Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, confirmed in a speech that the administration was looking for ways to build moderate <x0-metrics <x1x1> within Hezbollah.

The battle of turtles, particularly the institutional conflict between law enforcement agencies and secret information agencies, contributed to the fall of the Cassandra Project, Maltz said one of the DEA Special Operations Division specialists.

But many agents of the Cassandra project insist the main reason was a political choice to prioritize the Iranian nuclear agreement over efforts to hit Hezbollah./Periscopi/
