Obama adviser admits public was 'misled'
on Iran nuclear talks., and that the media acted as an echo chamber for the president
US policy on Israel is generally mired in invented narratives. The hidden agenda behind the White House apparent pro-Israel rhetoric (for domestic consumption), is the eventual dismantlement of the Jewish state. The way politicians, activists, and the lapdog media present the issue is full of fiction which - after being repeated for decades - has taken on the semblance of 'truth'.
Empowering Iran - one of the White House's top priorities - serves those nefarious purposes, as Iranian leaders and their mobs openly say that they are determined to wipe Israel off the map - by means of a nuclear Holocaust if necessary.

The White House and Iran vilified
Israeli PM Netanyahu for his criticism of the deal.
Ben Rhodes Ben Rhodes, one of President Barack Obama's top advisers, has admitted that the administration lied about the dealings behind the nuclear agreement struck between Iran and world powers last summer.- Regarding the media's support for the deal, Rhodes admitted in the interview that “We created an echo chamber.”
- Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said he believed at the time that Obama would not allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons. Asked whether he would make that assessment now, Panetta answered, “Probably not.”
- Rhodes dismisses all White House officials prior to Obama as "the Blob" - a bunch of unqualified and uneducated individuals who damaged the United States. But then came Obama, the hero, to save the country.
- Rhodes admits that while the American public was led to believe that negotiations between the West and the Islamic Republic took off after the election of President Hassan Rouhani, misrepresented as a “moderate,” in reality negotiations with hard-liners began much earlier.
- He admits there is nothing moderate about Rouhani.
-
Shortly after Rouhani was elected in 2013, he and Obama exchanged letters, and Obama later publicly reached out to Iran in a speech to the UN General Assembly.
- In November of that year, it was revealed that a preliminary deal between Iran and the West was made possible due to secret talks that the United States and Iran held for more than half a year and were authorized by Obama himself.
Those discussions were kept hidden even from America's closest friends, including its five negotiating partners and from Israel.
- The reason for the skewed presentation of the talks' timeline, said Rhodes on Sunday, was to enable the administration to sell the deal to a wider audience.
- But he couldn't. The fact is that 840 U.S. rabbis, over 200 U.S. generals and admirals, and 56 leading US nuclear weapons, arms control and intelligence experts signed other letters opposing the Iran nuclear agreement.
A majority of Congress voted against the Iran deal and when Congress voted on it last September, the American people opposed the agreement by a 2-1 margin and 64% believed President Obama and Secretary Kerry had misled the public about the deal.Rhodes and Obama
create a narrative- In eight months, Ben Rhodes can get back to his former life — as he puts it, “drinking and smoking pot and hanging out in Central Park.” And presumably writing more fiction — this time perhaps the honest kind that does not pretend to be non-fiction. The entire world, except perhaps the world of fiction, will be better for it.
