Joe Biden is sending $64 million of our money to terrorists
Posted on 9/15/21 at 2:56 pm
Posted on 9/15/21 at 2:56 pm
LINKMonday the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) said it would be sending $64 million in humanitarian aid to Afghanistan to address the “compounding effects of insecurity, conflict, recurring natural disasters, and the COVID-19 pandemic.” That is $64 million dollars of U.S. taxpayer funds to be sent to a nation completely under the control of the murderous Taliban.
The U.S. is the largest humanitarian donor in Afghanistan and has agreed to provide $330 million in assistance in the current fiscal year according to the State Department. The latest aid package brings total U.S. assistance in Afghanistan to around $4 billion since 2002. This announcement came one day after the United Nations (U.N.) called for $600 million to prevent famine and a public health crisis in Afghanistan.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday promised to ensure the Taliban does not block humanitarian assistance, particularly to groups such as women and girls.
“The United States will also work with the international community to help ensure that the Taliban follow through on its commitments and advance unhindered humanitarian access, freedom of movement for aid workers of all genders, safety and security of humanitarian staff, and safe passage for all those who wish to leave Afghanistan.”
SECRETARY BLINKEN
Afghanistan is, of course, essentially fully under the control of the Taliban. The nation is now effectively a terrorist superstate. How Blinken or anyone else is going to compel the Taliban to provide aid to the Afghan people is unknown. Almost assuredly, once financial or other aid is transferred to people like the Haqqanis it will be appropriated. Terrorists will become richer. The Afghan people will continue to suffer.
Even when the United States was in charge in Afghanistan our aid to that nation went largely into the pockets of corrupt Afghan officials. The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) said in October of 2020 that $19 billion dollars in U.S. aid had been lost to “waste, fraud, and abuse.” At one point U.S. diplomats estimated that drug traffickers and corrupt Afghan officials were moving $231 million a week out of the country and stashing it abroad.
If we could not keep aid from being stolen when we were on the ground in Afghanistan with tens of thousands of troops, by what means will we now ensure it is used as intended by a hostile terrorist group? The Taliban are not just holy warriors. They are also perhaps the world’s largest drug cartel trading in opium, heroin, hashish, and methamphetamines. Are we to seriously believe that men who force women into sex slavery, deal in dangerous drugs, and are systematically cleansing the Panjshir Valley of all opposition will abide by Mr. Blinken’s stern admonitions that they use the aid provided for benevolent purposes?
Afghanistan’s drug trade generates an estimated $35 million a month for the Taliban and associated drug gangs. One in ten Afghans is involved in the drug trade. A similar percentage are addicts. Afghanistan is the world’s biggest producer of opium, from which heroin is derived.
The Taliban has recently moved into the production of methamphetamines as well. Ephedra, a plant used to make methamphetamine, grows wild in Afghanistan.
The Taliban supply most of the major criminal organizations on the planet with heroin. The total value of all the illicit drugs the Taliban produces was estimated in 2017 to be $6.6 billion a year. They are drug dealers to the world.
So, the Biden administration having presided over perhaps the greatest foreign policy disaster in American history and having armed the Taliban with the most sophisticated weaponry ever produced, now believes that we should hand this murderous band of savages vast quantities of money and rely on their assurances that it will be well spent. Even as all males 12 and over in the Panjshir valley are being liquidated, single women are being “married” against their will to Taliban fighters and opponents of the regime hunted down and executed, Tony Blinken and company believe they can count on the Taliban to do the right thing.
We are through the looking glass. We are no longer operating in the real world. We are adrift in a sea of lies, deception, and fantasy. And you are paying for it.

That is what they asked for to let people out. They said you give us 100 million.
But biden is a very shrewd negotiator.
He offered them 200 million and when they agreed to that he said 300 million is our final offer.

So Joe is just giving money directly to the Taliban now. Awesome.
quote:
Nearly two weeks after the Taliban seized power, Afghanistan's banks remain shuttered. That has left many people in the country without access to cash.
"No one has money," one current employee of Afghanistan's central bank told CNN. The employee, speaking anonymously due to fears for their safety, said many families don't have enough money for their daily spending and some paychecks have been halted.
All of this raises the specter of a severe economic and humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan, just weeks after the takeover by the Taliban.
The central challenge is that Afghanistan's economy is heavily reliant on access to foreign currency and international aid -- most of which has been blocked since Kabul fell. Grants finance a staggering 75% of Afghanistan's public spending, according to the World Bank.
Afghanistan's banks are still closed, days after the Taliban ordered them and other services to reopen, because they've virtually run out of cash, the central bank source said.
"You've got a stack of cards that is about to come down," a person familiar with the situation of the Afghan economy told CNN. "As soon as you open the banks, it will expose how fragile the system is."

Dont worry, they will be sending itemized receipts to account for every penny. The good news is they dont need to spend much on weapons, as we have already provided those free of charge.
Meanwhile we will allow many thousands of vets to be homeless while we send their enemy 64 million.
Clown world at its finest.

The strategy of throwing everything at the wall and daring us to speak out under threat of the Gulag is working famously.
Oh and i think I just accidentally ordered some Taliban sunglasses from an ad on that site.

So...$80,000,000,000 in weapons system, and $64,000,000 in cash.
We made out better this time. He's getting better guess.

It’s ransom money.
The US government is allowing itself to be held hostage by the Taliban.

Rand Paul ripped Blinken to shreds over this the other day in the hearings.
Not that it matters.

You have it backwards. This is like moving out of your parent's house and keep paying their bills.
More accurately, this is like moving out of a half way house that you managed, that have now been taken over by the tenants, and you keep paying their bills.

The Taliban: You will give us 10 million dollars.
Biden and co.: 30million dollars?! What do you need 60 million dollars for?!

Okay so from what I heard all of the Afghanistan money and holdings are locked up in American banks. Why can't we send them there own money. Buy goods and services with their money.
The US is holding $10 Billion in assets including over $7 million in cash.
