The craptastic Iran Deal continues to reap negative dividends. First, per Legal Insurrection, we find out that the U.S. has sanctioned Iran’s largest oil company because of it supports the terrorist designated Islamic Revolutionary Guards. But that’s not all. Iran-backed terrorists stockpiled tons of explosives in a London suburb in 2015. Did Theresa May tell anyone in government? No. She stayed silent.
“Terrorists linked to Iran were caught stockpiling tonnes of explosive materials on the outskirts of London in a secret British bomb factory, The Telegraph can reveal.
Radicals linked to Hizbollah, the Lebanese militant group, stashed thousands of disposable ice packs containing ammonium nitrate – a common ingredient in homemade bombs.
The plot was uncovered by MI5 and the Metropolitan Police in the autumn of 2015, just months after the UK signed up to the Iran nuclear deal. Three metric tonnes of ammonium nitrate was discovered – more than was used in the Oklahoma City bombing that killed 168 people and damaged hundreds of buildings.” [Emphasis Added]
The sheer scope of what was uncovered was so alarming that David Cameron and Theresa May (then Prime Minister and Home Secretary) were PERSONALLY briefed on the matter! Were the MP’s who, at the time, debating on Hizbollah classifications and the ramifications of the Iran Deal told? No.
Iran has made it abundantly clear that they won’t adhere to ANY of the deal whatsoever, yet Britain is sticking with the terrorist regime. Iran continues to front major terrorists groups including Hizbollah, and Iran continues to crack down on Iranian citizens for daring to speak out against the government. Just recently it was announced that Iran will hire and deploy women-led ‘morality police’ groups in order to crack down on those women who dare to go without the hijab.
What does the British government do in the face of all of that? Kowtow to a major dictator and keep hidden from view a major bomb stockpile that could’ve leveled a significant area of London.
The Oklahoma City bomber used 4,000 lbs of ammonium nitrate to kill 168 people and damage hundreds of buildings.
These Iranian-backed terrorists were caught with 6,600+ lbs of the same substance in what was described as a "British bomb factory"

“It raises questions about whether senior UK government figures chose not to reveal the plot in part because they were invested in keeping the Iran nuclear deal afloat.
The disclosure follows a three-month investigation by The Telegraph in which more than 30 current and former officials in Britain, America and Cyprus were approached and court documents were obtained.”
If officials in the U.S. knew, then the logical conclusion is that Obama and John Kerry about knew the bomb stockpile.
This all raises two key questions for the Government.
1) Why weren’t MPs told? There was a major debate about whether Hezbollah should be proscribed as a terrorist organisation.
For years the Gov refused to. Would this have changed the debate?

Yet here we have John Kerry and other former Obama Administration officials practicing shadow diplomacy for the last two years in order to try and keep this crappy deal floating above the sewer.
The only reason I can think of that Britain kept this covered up, and is likely fuming that the plot and bomb stockpile was uncovered, is that Britain was hoping to reap some cash benefits for their continued support of Iran in spite of the Trump Administration sanctions. Furthermore, I’d say Britain and the EU are hoping that the Iranian President’s threat to flood Europe with drugs and more refugees is an empty one – but they are leaping through hoops to make sure that threat doesn’t become real.
The problem is, this particular bomb threat was just one of many that were uncovered across Europe before and AFTER the Iran Deal was put in place.
Iran-linked terrorists were caught stockpiling explosives in north-west London
This plot was uncovered by MI-5 in 2015, meaning the Obama admin knew but concealed it to ram through the disastrous Iran Deal
Obama and Kerry are horrible guys https://t.co/Z3QvAe0xRw

Hey what’s this? Oh nothing. Just members of Hezbollah: an antisemitic, radical Islamist group who want to establish theocracy, kill all Jews & who are supported by Jeremy Corbyn stockpiling bomb making equipment in my city. Isn’t this Labour Party great? https://t.co/uxaECRoZ1n

Only one person was arrested in conjunction with this plot. But he was released and no charges were brought? Why?
“The decision not to inform the public of the discovery, despite a major debate with Britain’s closest ally America about the success of the Iran nuclear deal, will raise eyebrows.
Keeping MPs in the dark amid a fierce debate about whether to designate the entire of Hezbollah a terrorist group – rather than just its militant wing – will also be questioned.”
The Iran Nuclear Deal was always based upon lies. Lies by Iran, by the Obama Administration, and now by the top tier in the British Government. Iran is smiling with glee at the fact that their deal is working as planned.

Skillyboo says: And so we read about another sordid action that the scandal free regime of Barry O. And what will come of it, nothing. One thing after another after another is brought to the light and pfft nothing to see here folks move along. Sorry I’m so cynical but this type of thing has played out for years and not once has there been anything done other than some grumbling. It is just another example showing how above the law these contemptible these vile scum are.
GWB says: Perhaps it’s time to invoke the DoI instead of the law?
Skillyboo says: Dol?
GWB says: Declaration of Independence
GWB says: Wow. over 6k lb of bomb-making material.
When will cold packs get treated like Sudafed – ID, first born, limits?
“Only one person was arrested in conjunction with this plot. But he was released and no charges were brought?
Why?”
Because if you charge him, it becomes public.
SDN says: Same reason the Obama Admin covered up Uranium One…. and used a combination of immunity grants and pretend prosecutions (double jeopardy is SO useful when your opponents play by rules… and you don’t) with Rod Rosenstein taking point:
“The Justice Department instructs prosecutors that when Congress has given a federal offense its own conspiracy provision with a heightened punishment (as it has for money laundering, racketeering, narcotics trafficking, and other serious crimes), they may not charge a section 371 conspiracy. Section 371 is for less serious conspiracy cases. Using it for money laundering — which caps the sentence way below Congress’s intent for that behavior — subverts federal law and signals to the court that the prosecutor does not regard the offense as major.
Yet, that is exactly what Rosenstein’s office did, in a plea agreement his prosecutors co-signed with attorneys from the Justice Department’s Fraud Section. (See in the Hill’s report, the third document embedded at the bottom, titled “Mikerin Plea Deal.”) No RICO, no extortion, no fraud — and the plea agreement is careful not to mention any of the extortions in 2009 and 2010, before CFIUS approved Rosatom’s acquisition of U.S. uranium stock. ”

Bonecutter says: Where was Guy Fawkes? I seem to remember that 36 barrels of gunpowder were found in 1605 and that was a big deal.
David Byler says: Bonecutter, I’m still smiling at your response
