UPDATE:

Thank you to everyone who reads these emails and works to help our country. A few of my friends wrote to me after the last email to talk about where the $6 Billion came from, and I wanted to share this clarification to the email below.

In the original Iran Deal that Obama signed in August 2015 (1), approximately $1.5 Billion was paid from taxpayer money directly with $400 Million flown on a cargo plane to Tehran, Iran. (2)

The $6 Billion that Biden just gave Iran in exchange for 5 US prisoners came from, "payments for...South Korean purchases of Iranian energy products, primarily condensate (used to make gasoline), and have sat idle in two South Korean banks." (2) So this was not US taxpayer money, but money that the US had previously directed South Korea to withhold from Iran. By the US allowing it to go to Iran, that release represented the ransom we "paid" to get the 5 hostages.

While the US claims this money will be spend on humanitarian aid, the Washington Institute indicates that, "As in the past, Iran could find ways to fraudulently claim a certain transaction is humanitarian or smuggle humanitarian goods ([link removed]) abroad for profit." (3)

In 1985 Ronald Reagan indicated, "America will never make concessions to terrorists -- to do so would only invite more terrorism."

What are we seeing right now? How much new money will the Biden Administration be willing to release or pay for the release of new hostages or prisoners?

Monday, Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy indicated that, “Biden’s policy on appeasement, including money for hostage deals, must come to an end. His policy has only emboldened terrorists. And handing over $6 billion to Iran only helps the cause. In explaining that to members of Congress, they said they had provisions to refreeze the money if Iran has done something wrong. They should freeze the money back today.”

I agree; Congress and the Biden Administration should immediately refreeze the money that Iran is now expecting.

Thank you.
Neil

Dear JOHN,[link removed]

I have to admit....I am so mad. What has our President done? And where was Congress?

Less than three weeks ago, President Biden gave $6 Billion to Iran in exchange for the return of 5 American Citizens being held hostage by the country.

Now, less than 3 weeks later, Iran provides millions of dollars in funding to Hamas to attack Israel with unusual and expensive tactics and weapons. My son even showed me a YouTube video of Hamas gunmen paragliding over a festival, machine-gunning down Israeli adults and children.

Whose money paid for these new attacks? American Money. Your money.

And now, Americans have been killed by our own money. Today, CNN reported that:
Nine (9) US citizens have died in the conflict in Israel ([link removed]) , US authorities said Monday, and an unknown number remain missing.(1)

This is beyond upsetting, and unfortunately, very predictable.

In 2015, guess what I predicted. After organizing a bus rally to DC to fight against Obama's Iran Nuclear deal, where we heard from Senator Cruz and future President Trump, The Herald Mail reported:
Parrott noted that Iran — "the lead sponsor of terrorism in the world" — would be infused with $150 billion in unfrozen assets. That new money and the deal "will allow them to have all the ingredients to annihilate Israel and build a nuclear weapon," he said.(2)

On September 11th of this year, Donald Trump echoed that same sentiment, then predicted precisely what was to come true.

"To pay for hostages will lead to kidnapping, ransom, and blackmail against Americans across the globe. I freed many dozens of our people from various unfriendly countries and never paid a dime!" (3)

Why are we still giving Iran money? They are actively working on building nuclear weapons, and we are aiding them, even though the money is supposedly going to just humanitarian aid. Do you think that is what is happening?

You cannot give money to that brutal nation to prop up its government that not only hates us, but ruthlessly violates its own people. Do you remember one year ago, Iran's killing of Mahsa Amini who was killed for not wearing a head scarf?

Now, just one year later on September 16th, NBC reports:
Thousands of protesters across the country were detained after Amini’s death and more than 500 are believed to have died, according to the U.N. ([link removed]) Some were publicly executed ([link removed]) . (4)

That's a nice way to say that Iran murdered over 500 women for standing up for their rights.

Concerning the $6 Billion that Biden gave Iran, on September 19th the Wall Street Journal reported:

The release of the Americans, all of whom hold at least dual nationality, came against the backdrop of flailing efforts by the Biden administration to revive nuclear talks with Iran and Republican criticism over the administration’s decision to release the funds, which the administration said are to be used strictly for humanitarian purposes.

“Today, five innocent Americans who were imprisoned in Iran are finally coming home…after enduring years of agony, uncertainty and suffering,” President Biden said in a statement. The president urged Americans not to travel to Iran. (5)
So let's make this clear: we free 5 Americans by paying their ransom, and the blackmailers use our money to pay terrorists who kill 9 other Americans, as well as over 900 Israelis. First Obama and now Biden pander to one of our worst enemies, giving them money that we do not even have. We are borrowing money from China, increasing our national debt by billions, and then giving that money to a terrorist nation.

Do you remember Ronald Reagan and his effective, strong approach to hostage situations? When faced with a terrorists crisis in Lebanon in 1985, he said the following in a speech:

Let me further make it plain to the assassins in Beirut and their accomplices, wherever they may be, that America will never make concessions to terrorists -- to do so would only invite more terrorism -- nor will we ask nor pressure any other government to do so. Once we head down that path there would be no end to it, no end to the suffering of innocent people, no end to the bloody ransom all civilized nations must pay. (6)

Some who read this will ask for the proof that Iran helped coordinate and fund this attack. Both Israel and Hamas provide proof of Iran's involvement in this Wall Street Journal quote from today:

Israel has blamed Iran, saying it is behind the attacks, if indirectly. ​​ “We know that there were meetings in Syria and in Lebanon with other leaders of the terror armies that surround Israel so obviously it’s easy to understand that they tried to coordinate. The proxies of Iran in our region, they tried to be coordinated as much as possible with Iran,” Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, said Sunday.

Hamas has publicly acknowledged receiving support from Iran. And on Sunday, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi talked to Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Ziyad al-Nakhalah and Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh. (7)
This makes my blood boil and makes me want to do all I can to stop this harmful, liberal ideology that is hurting our country, hurting Americans, and hurting the world.

I pray that God will have mercy on our country, that He will allow us to choose better leaders in the future. Personally, I will also be praying that God will show favor to Israel during this critical time.

May God bless you, and may God continue to bless our great country.

Sincerely,
Neil C. Parrott, P.E.
