Arrest Kerry for Collusion With Islamic Terror States Restore the rule of law, treat Kerry like Manafort and Flynn. May 7, 2018 Daniel Greenfield Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical left and Islamic terrorism. On January 19, 2017, John Forbes Kerry left his job at the State Department. Addressing Foggy Bottomers in the C Street lobby, he ended his speech by declaring, "This is not an end. This is a beginning. It's a new beginning." That's just what departing politicos usually say, but he meant it. Next January, a report appeared that Kerry had met with a top negotiator for the PLO in London. The secret back-channel negotiator, Hussein Agha, was a close confidant of terrorist dictator Mahmoud Abbas, the racist PLO boss who around this same time had delivered a speech in which he cursed President Trump, shouting, "May your house be destroyed." Agha was a frequent collaborator with Robert Malley, who allegedly ran Soros and Obama's back channel to Hamas. Obama fired Malley during the campaign, but once in office brought him back in a variety of roles including as a lead negotiator on the Iran Deal scam and the National Security Council's point man for the Middle East. Malley now heads Soros' International Crisis Group and continues undermining America and defending the Iran Deal. Kerry urged Agha to tell the PLO boss to "be strong", "play for time" and "not yield to President Trump's demands." The former Secretary of State suggested that the PLO present its own peace plan that he would push through his contacts in the European Union and Muslim countries. Kerry also advised the Islamic terror boss to attack Trump personally, instead of the country or administration. And Abbas appeared to have taken his advice. He also assured the Islamic terrorist leader that President Trump wouldn't be in office a year from now. And that Kerry might run for the job. All of this was a blatant violation of the Logan Act which bans Americans from conducting negotiations with foreign governments "with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government" or "agent there of" addressing its "disputes or controversies with the United States" or "to defeat the measures of the United States". The law is clear. The punishment is three years in prison. "The original story wasn't accurate," Kerry's spokesman claimed. "These are neither Secretary Kerry's views nor anything he would say." But a few weeks ago, Kerry met with Iran's Foreign Minister Zarif at the United Nations. According to the Boston Globe story, he not only met with Zarif, but also the presidents of France and Germany, and Federica Mogherini, the former Communist activist who is the top EU lobbyist for the Iran Deal. Mogherini had called for a role for "political Islam" in Europe and has consistently undermined American foreign policy in Cuba, North Korea, Russia and Iran by stifling our efforts to isolate dictators and tyrants. The Iran Deal echo chamber, which Kerry and Mogherini, not to mention Malley, are a part of, has tried to paint Foreign Minister Zarif as a moderate. But last fall, as Trump deployed new sanctions against the IRGC, Zarif had tweeted that, "Iranians--boys, girls, men, women--are ALL IRGC". IRGC stands for Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. It's the central terror hub of Iran which has its greasy fingers deep in its nuclear program and is in charge of its terrorism networks around the world. The IRGC's support for Islamic terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan is estimated to have cost the lives of between 500 and 1,000 Americans. At one point, Iran was paying the Taliban $1,000 for each American soldier that they killed. From his Viet Cong days to his IRGC days, Kerry colludes with the murderers of American soldiers. According to the Boston Globe, Kerry's goal in these meetings is, "to apply pressure on the Trump administration from the outside." That's exactly the behavior the Logan Act was meant to sanction. In both of his meetings with Islamic terror state officials and agents, Kerry has conveyed his opposition to the United States government while encouraging the terror states to subvert its policies. He has engaged in private negotiations with foreign governments on behalf of a shadow foreign policy opposition aligned with the non-profit groups that form the Iran Lobby and the Iran Deal echo chamber. It's not just a Logan Act violation. It's treason. This isn't the first time that the radical activist turned senator and secretary of state has violated the Logan Act. The medal thrower had been reviled by Vietnam vets for his meeting with Madame Binh of Vietnam's Marxist-Leninist PVR. As senator, he traveled to Nicaragua to undermine President Reagan by conducting talks with Comandante Ortega and his murderous Marxist-Leninist regime. Its favorite song when Kerry was providing aid and comfort to it was, "Here or There, Yankees Will Die Everywhere." When Republican senators sent a warning letter to Iran that a deal without congressional approval would be non-binding, the Iran Lobby and its media allies accused them of violating the Logan Act. Typical media hit pieces from the period included CNN's "Did 47 Republican senators break the law in plain sight?" and ABC News' "165,000+ Sign Petition to Prosecute GOP Senators for Treason". (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); That's nothing like the media's response to Kerry's treasonous efforts to undermine the United States. But the Logan Act specifically mentions a citizen who lacks the "authority of the United States". When George Logan, after whom the act was named, conducted his illegal negotiations, he had not yet become a member of the Senate. Senators do have a constitutional role in foreign policy. Kerry's meeting with Ortega, gets a certain amount of leeway. Former diplomats get none. Democrats and their media allies have turned the country upside down investigating claims of collusion by the administration. Obama and Clinton allies in the DOJ have eavesdropped on Americans, raided their homes in the middle of the night, and denied the President of the United States the elementary protection of attorney-client privilege based on the opposition research of the Clinton campaign. Collusion is not a Federal crime. Violating the Logan Act is. The double standard on Trump and Kerry would have us believe that the President-elect has no right to back channels to foreign governments, but that a former Secretary of State is entitled to have them. That's not a legal norm. It's another case of Democrats criminalizing anything Republicans do while legalizing their own blatant violations of the law. The President-elect has legitimate reasons for reaching out to foreign governments. A former secretary of state from the opposition party has no such reasons. And when his outreach undermines the foreign policy of his successor by urging foreign governments to sabotage it and attack the President of the United States, his only reason appears to be treason. Current executive and legislative officials have a role in making foreign policy. Former ones do not. The Democrats, the media and their Mueller spearhead have sought to retroactively criminalize contacts with Russia (carefully postdating their own Russian outreach of the Bush and Obama era) because it's an enemy country. But what exactly is Iran: a terror state whose motto is, "Death to America"? These groups have crafted a narrative in which meetings with certain countries are inherently suspect, Russia, the UAE and Israel, while collaboration with Iran and Qatar is legit diplomacy. There's no legal or national interest basis for such a classification, but there is an ideological one. Qatar is a key backer of the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic terror groups. As is Iran. The UAE and Israel oppose them. And that's at the heart of the problem. Kerry and the rest of the Iran Deal lobby aren't meeting with Iran, the PLO and the EU as representatives of the United States, but of a political faction whose allegiances are ideological, not national. They aren't working on behalf of the United States, but are there representing a leftist shadow government. Or as Kerry reportedly told the PLO, the many "dissatisfied" people in the American establishment. Unlike Carter and other rogue leftists, Kerry isn't acting alone. He's the most visible figure in a powerful and influential international movement. And its footholds in this country include billionaires, major think tanks, media echo chamber and smear groups that are constantly handfeeding hit pieces to the press. Kerry's shadow government diplomacy represents a vertical ideological integration with European governments that share his ideology, and their allies in "political Islam" in Iran and Qatar. The political left hopes to use the rising power of political Islam, from Iran's nuclear program to Muslim migration to the Islamic coups of the Muslim Brotherhood to check the national and international power of the West. The left and its rogue Never Trumper allies ceaselessly lecture us about the "Rule of Law." Let's have their version of the rule of law. And let's apply it to Kerry, Rhodes, Malley and all the rest. If we have an actual rule of law, then there will be a special prosecutor appointed to investigate Kerry's collusion with Iran. Any meetings between members of the Iran Lobby, both official and unofficial, will be eavesdropped on by the NSA and their names unmasked at the request of Trump officials. The homes of Iran Lobby members will be raided in the middle of the night. The Iran echo chamber figures now ensconced in top think tanks, including one funded by Qatar, will lose their homes, be interviewed by the FBI and be forced to plead guilty to lying to the feds if they misstate anything. When Kerry wakes up to FBI men ransacking his seven bedroom waterfront Martha's Vineyard estate at gunpoint and patting down his wife in their bedroom for weapons, then we'll have the rule of law |
