Joe Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan was an absolute disaster.
Thirteen service members lost their lives and Biden left billions of dollars worth of military equipment in the country.
And now the State Department just got caught funding the Taliban for this inexcusable reason.
Foreign Aid is Big Business
Money that we give out as so-called foreign aid is actually money that goes to American companies who shuttle the aid after they make a profit on manufacturing it.
It is a peculiar and lucrative system for those who understand how to make it work.
Billions of dollars in federal contracts are bid out on the basis of appropriations made by Congress and supported by lobbyists who are hired by the contractors.
This Deep State operation is part of the “military industrial complex.”
So much money is funneled through this system that few take the time to figure out where the money is actually going.
But one group figured out that U.S. taxpayers are actually sending money to the Taliban, which are enemies of the citizens of America.
In 2023, Judicial Watch discovered that the Taliban was creating a series of fake non-profit shell companies.
“In one of the most recent Afghanistan debacles, the Taliban has established fraudulent non-governmental organizations (NGO) to loot the hundreds of millions of dollars in humanitarian aid that the United States has sent Afghanistan since the 2021 military withdrawal,” they reported. “NGOs are typically nonprofits with humanitarian missions that supposedly work to improve public or social welfare. Approximately 1.5 million NGOs operate in the U.S., according to the State Department, and they advocate for a variety of issues that include the environment.”
Now it turns out that the Taliban has received $239 million in taxpayer money because State Department bureaucrats are not vetting these NGOs that are run by this terrorist organization.
“Investigators found that the State Department failed to comply with its own counterterrorism partner vetting requirements in Afghanistan before awarding at least 29 grants to various local entities,” Judicial Watch reported.
The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) has been trying to figure out exactly how much war material was gifted to the Taliban by the Biden/Harris administration.
Now they are releasing reports showing that we are continuing to fund the Taliban directly through these fake non-profit groups.
The total amount of money that has flowed into Afghanistan from the U.S. is at least $21 billion during the last three years.
The U.S. has spent $3 billion in humanitarian aid to Afghanistan since Biden ordered the removal of all U.S. troops.
Some of the money was used to stop the production of heroin-producing poppies.
Now that the money spigot is turned off, production is possibly returning to normal levels.
After spending more than 20 years in Afghanistan, the country is back where it started.
But thanks to the Biden/Harris Administration, today it receives more U.S. taxpayer dollars than it did before our initial invasion.
