Behind the Pompeo Mnuchin Door





As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.



I have a different way of thinking. Like I remember everyone being removed from the original Trump Trans....almost everyone, and from them it appears only remained, and one advanced, and now they are both the best of chums, best of mates, best of buds, and these two really like each other.

So why is it that everything Mike Pompeo does and Steve Mnuchin did, all make me wonder not so much of the sanctions, trade wars and embargoes......but how much money are the people who back Pompeo and Mnuchin receiving, from the actions of these two Trump cabinet officials.

Look at Iran, and think with all the screw Pompeo and Mnuchin are putting to Iran, just who is it that is still getting Iranian oil, and who is getting a most expensive cut off that contraband oil?


“First, the President is issuing an executive order authorizing the imposition of additional sanctions against any individual owning, operating, trading with, or assisting sectors of the Iranian economy, including construction, manufacturing, textiles, and mining,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said during a White House press conference. “And let me be clear: These will be both primary and secondary sanctions. The EO also allows us to designate other sectors in the future as Secretary Pompeo and me think is appropriate.”
“Second, we are announcing 17 specific sanctions against Iran’s largest steel and iron manufacturers, three Seychelles-based entities, and a vessel involved in the transfer of products,” Mnuchin said. “As a result of these actions, we will cut off billions of dollars of support to the Iranian regime, and we will continue our enforcement of other entities.”
“Third, we are taking action against eight senior Iranian officials who advanced the regime’s destabilizing activity and were involved in Tuesday’s ballistic missile strike,” Mnuchin concluded. “Today’s sanctions are part of our commitment to stop the Iranian regime’s global terrorist activities. The President has been very clear: We will continue to apply economic sanctions until Iran stops its terrorist activities and commit that it will never have nuclear weapons.”

See there is always this mumbo jumbo of Chinese tankers, taking Iranian off loaded oil off of Iranian ships, then turning off their transponders in the Indian Ocean and delivering the oil, as the United States threatens China with searches.........and then the President signs a China phase 1 trade deal.

See that rings a bit dull. Maybe the deal is in the devil of the details.

Crippling sanctions imposed by the Trump administration have severed Iran’s access to international markets, decimating the economy, which is now contracting at an alarming 9.5 percent annual rate, the International Monetary Fund estimated. Oil exports were effectively zero in December, according to Oxford Economics, as the sanctions have prevented sales, even though smugglers have transported unknown volumes.



Forbes produced a rather detailed expose' on smuggling Iranian oil in this 2020 phase as Iran has been pumping a great deal of oil, in the millions of barrels for years, and someone was making money off of it. Like Marc Rich, a Jew who laundered Bill and Hillary Clinton's bribes from Saddam Hussein, in keeping him in power and his oil pumping, and who was it that brought the Rich pardon to Bill Clinton, but none other than Barack Obama's Attorney General, Eric Holder.

See someone is making money off of Iranian oil, like someone is making money off of stolen Syrian oil now, like Obama with McCain was making money off of ISIS, in the Kurds, stealing oil and selling it to Turkey by truckloads, all under the drones of the United States.


Iranian oil, other customers such as China, India, and Turkey are more likely to be lax about accepting re-labeled Iranian oil

Recently, it was estimated that Iran is exporting about 300,000 bpd, far below the 2.5 million bpd before the most recent sanctions. That amount requires roughly one supertanker a week,

But the point is that the type of ship used for small-scale smuggling in the Gulf carries about 1,500 barrels, while a tanker truck for cross-border transit carries 120 barrels and the minivans smugglers use can only hold 12 barrels. (Data taken from various sources on the internet; I have not hacked into Iranian computers.) In other words, to smuggle 1 mb/d would require about 700 small ships, 8000 tanker trucks, or 84,000 minivans.

hey were selling an estimated 5,000 to 10,000 bpd with tanker trucks to Western Syria, those same trucks, if used on the short-haul routes from the oil producing areas to southern Iraq, could accommodate as much as 200,000 bpd.

More importantly, the Iranian oil fields are in close proximity to the Iraqi oil terminals at Fao, near Basra, and the easiest thing to do would be to run a short pipeline to the Iraqi system

So it appears that Iran was in Iraq, not just for General Soliemani's terrorists, but what had sweetened the deal, was Iranian oil being smuggled out in Iraqi's terminals. Something though tells me that something is a bit more interesting than in Iraqi terminals providing cover, for what America already knows is how Iran was getting oil out, and someone America wanted to make profit for was getting their cut.
Now you don't suppose this is another one of those CIA black funding operations like Obama's ISIS was creating a money pipeline.....perhaps an Obama retirement or John McCain purchased an air conditioned room ticket in hell.



Another smuggling technique, which is more expensive, is to illegally move oil to Iraq by truck. This activity is more difficult to monitor because there are many inland locations where the large (often-tractor trailer) tanker trucks can take on cargo and many roads that cross the border. There the Iranian oil becomes Iraqi oil and tanker ships can load Iraqi oil and deliver it anywhere. This form of smuggling is very expensive because your average tanker truck carries 5,000 gallons, which is 120 barrels.


I am betting that China did not build a new rail line for it's tourists or what it could export, or how many pistachios could a Chinese communist eat. Not is like it was English opium addicting the Chinese, or the British would be running nuts into Hong Kong.

Here let me show you a picture.


No this is not China, this is America. This is Warren Buffett, before Obama stole the 2008 AD in the year of our Lord election, buying up railroads in oil country, and Obama sabotaging oil wells in the Gulf to drive up crude prices, and the only way out of North Dakota was Buffett's newly purchased railroad, as Obama shut down the Canadian oil pipelines too.

See Buffett had these brand new rail cars, before all of this happened, as if he knew it would happen, which Buffett did as he is a nation rapist, so how much oil do you think Iran might be smuggling out to Iraq and China, or perhaps is the operation, not smuggling, but approved transport in which someone is getting a cut, and something out of China, perhaps in negotiations, in China signs onto something that Pompeo's and Mnuchin's benefactors desire which will make billions for the cartel, while China gets oil at reduced prices.




I doubt Warren Buffett is going to prison. I know those who are getting their cut out of Iranian oil or their trade deal billions will be indicted, no more than the Americans who did not bomb Nazi conglomerate factories or soil oil to the Soviet Union in the Cold War. See this happens all the time. The world is in nuclear war balance, your life savings are being bankrupted, but Eric Holder pardoning a Jew swindler or very happy fat Italians and Jews over Iran policy, indicate something is off in this, because with all the resources the United States has, are you going to believe, American surveillance does not know who is making money off those 300,000 barrels of Iranian crude.


Once again another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.


Nuff Said
