There already was controversy over Joe Biden's decision to free up $6 billion in cash for Iran, which is considered the world's major sponsor of terrorism.
Then reports confirmed Biden has sent more than $1 billion to Palestinians, whose government in Gaza is run by the terrorists in Hamas.
Now yet another report reveals Biden also has send $11 billion to Afghanistan, which is run by the terrorists in the Taliban, after he abruptly pulled American military members out in 2021.
The funding to Iran was supposed to be used for humanitarians purposes, but as money is fungible, it's unlikely to be limited to that category.
And Biden's own secretary of state, Antony Blinken, has confirmed there's no assurance that money sent to Palestinians won't go to the Hamas terror campaign.
It was a report in Breitbart that revealed John Sopko, the special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction revealed the U.S., and allies, have been sending "cash shipments" of about $80 million to arrive in Kabul "every 10-14 days."
In a new report, Sopko said U.N. officials claimed the money is "placed in designated U.N. accounts in a private bank."
The report noted the U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan said the cash is "monitored, audited, inspected, and vetted in accordance with U.N. financial rules and processes."
The report ignored the fungibility of cash, the report said, explaining, "If the U.S. and other governments are spending $3 billion to feed, house, and medicate Afghans, it frees up $3 billion for the irresponsible and malevolent Taliban government to spend on its unsavory priorities."
The report did affirm that the Taliban has a long history of stealing foreign aid by siphoning cash from shipments, collecting "royalties," or charging "fees."
Those schemes have been documented by the U.N. and others, which described the Taliban as reporting that as "inland revenue."
Those activities now have reached the point they are limiting "beneficiary access to lifesaving assistance."
A report at ZeroHedge said, "The Biden administration’s foreign aid decisions, particularly with regards to the Middle East, have come under greater scrutiny in recent weeks following the decision to give Iran $6 billion in exchange for the release of five American hostages; the subsequent mass terrorist attacks against Israel led many to speculate that Iran could have used some of that money to fund the attacks."
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: "Our country is going communist!" warned Donald Trump recently. "It's going Marxist, it's going REALLY bad." He added, "The PEOPLE of our country aren't that way – but the people RUNNING it are." Is this just election-season bluster and hyperbole, or can the utterly unthinkable be true?
Incredibly, it is true. In 2023 America, the Democratic Party – its agendas, its core values, its wall-to-wall dishonesty, and its audacious and utterly ruthless methods – are virtually indistinguishable from those of modern-day communists. Compare the Communist Party USA's website, CPUSA.org (where the featured top-of-page story is about "TRANS RIGHTS"), with the Democratic National Committee's website, Democrats.org, and try to discern any substantive difference.
America's plunge into atheistic Marxism in virtually every area of life – from weaponizing government and courts to destroy critics and political opponents, to crushing free speech, to corrupting and brainwashing the nation's children, and much much more – is all stunningly explored in the October issue of WND's critically acclaimed Whistleblower magazine, titled "AMERICA'S COMMUNIST REVOLUTION: How the freest nation in history is rapidly becoming a Marxist police state." Beyond exposing the Marxist takeover of America's key institutions, this explosive special report goes on to reveal how Marxism/communism is ACTUALLY A MAJOR WORLD RELIGION, albeit a false and malevolent one. It unearths what REALLY motivates the "high priests" of this truly dark atheistic faith, which has captivated untold millions and murdered millions more. And it vividly illustrates exactly how and why citizens of the greatest nation in history are now experiencing – to quote Barack Obama's words – "a fundamental transformation of the United States of America." This Whistleblower issue is a crucial wake-up call for all Americans. WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
