Since the Taliban took over Afghanistan, the United States has sent over $3.8 billion to Afghanistan. While President Trump has frozen most U.S. aid to Afghanistan, $120 million was still dispatched this quarter. And, more problematically, the UN continues to send billions in American hundred dollar bills to ‘capitalize’ the Taliban’s bank. The Taliban have been auctioning off this money in currency auctions to keep the Afghan currency high against the dollar. This money, along with billions in seized weapons provided by the United States to the former Afghan government, has allowed the Taliban to finance Al Qaeda’s terrorist operations.
Another $3.5 billion in funds stolen by the Biden administration from 9/11 survivors continues to be held in the Afghan Fund that will potentially also be used to capitalize the Taliban’s bank.
These shocking events, first reported by the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s investigative journalism in the aftermath of Biden’s panicked retreat, have been confirmed yet again by the Afghan war government watchdog known as SIGAR in its latest report on Afghanistan.
The USAID shutdown has kept billions of dollars in taxpayer money from continuing to go to Taliban controlled territories, but the UN and its nonprofits, some of which receive massive amounts of taxpayer funding for other projects, continue to feed a fortune into Afghanistan.
The UN’s World Food Programme, headed by Cindy McCain, after lying about a famine in Gaza to benefit the Hamas Islamic terrorist group, has taken to claiming that millions will die unless we continue funding its operations in Afghanistan.
The WFP claimed that President Trump’s aid pause “could amount to a death sentence for millions of people facing extreme hunger and starvation.” Similar false claims were made on behalf of the Houthi terrorists in Yemen and the Hamas terrorists in Gaza. In both cases there was no actual famine and the terrorist groups were seizing and profiting from foreign aid while using the false claims of famine to deter counterterrorist operations by the Saudis and Israel.
And while most U.S. direct funds have been currently cut off, the American University of Afghanistan continues to spend money even though it is no longer in Afghanistan. Instead it operates in the Islamic terrorist state of Qatar, an ally of the Taliban, Hamas, and the Muslim Brotherhood, and taxpayers continue to subsidize Afghan students in Qatar and Turkey.
But ending US foreign aid to the Taliban terrorist state is only the beginning. SIGAR quotes UN reports confirming that the “Taliban utilized al Qaeda” and other Islamic terrorist groups “in operations against armed anti-Taliban opposition groups” and that “Al Qaeda affiliates in Afghanistan” still “continued to have access to weapons seized from the former Afghan
National Army” and that an Al Qaeda affiliate had gotten its hands on BGM-71 TOW missiles.
Furthermore, “the Taliban army chief of staff said the regime planned to provide the army with more advanced weapons and equipment, but did not specify from where or whom it could come.” The Taliban, in violation of its promises in the Doha accords in Qatar, from which it has since withdrawn, is not only harboring, but arming and equipping Al Qaeda.
That was the cause of September 11 and our subsequent intervention in Afghanistan.
While the United States need not directly go to war with the Taliban over it, we should at the very least block all further money from organizations that benefit from our funding, including the UN, from going to Afghanistan, and should treat any money being directed to Afghanistan, especially in U.S. dollars as a violation of the laws banning the funding of terrorism even if that money is supposedly being used for humanitarian aid. When humanitarian aid has been used to cover printing money on behalf of the Taliban and shipping money to the Taliban, the term has become a meaningless excuse for propping up an Islamic terrorist state sponsor of Al Qaeda.
The UN should be blocked from accessing further dollars from the Federal Reserve Bank in New York to ship to Afghanistan. According to SIGAR, the World Bank also reported that the Taliban’s currency rose sharply around Islamic holidays due to the “increased inflows of U.S. dollars during Ramadan and Eid,” which “boosted the supply of U.S. dollars and increased
the demand for local currency.” This is likely due to Afghan ‘refugees’ in the United States contriving to send money home. The Trump administration has taken the right course in seeking to remove the over 100,000 Afghan ‘refugees’ illegally imported by Biden during his retreat.
Recent outbreaks of Afghan violence in the United States with several stabbing incidents in Michigan, Texas and even Pennsylvania Dutch Country make their removal more urgent.
Anyone residing in the United States directing money to Afghanistan through any means should be prosecuted, deported if they are not a citizen, and denaturalized and deported if they are.
Finally, President Trump can remedy one of the most outrageous historic injustices imaginable by the Biden administration which fought 9/11 victims in court and seized $3.5 billion that should have gone to compensate the families of victims and placed it in an ‘Afghan Fund’ for the benefit of the murderous Islamic regime that harbored the killers of their families.
In 2022, Freedom Center Investigates exclusively reported that the Biden administration had seized $3.5 billion in wealth now owned by the Taliban in the United States to keep it from being awarded in a judgement to 9/11 family members. The money has now appreciated to nearly $4 billion and should be brought back to the U.S. and used to benefit Americans. Not terrorists.
Biden, who became the first president to skip a 9/11 commemoration, was uniquely friendly to Islamic terrorists and uniquely hostile to the memory of the September 11 attacks, had focused on closing Gitmo, freeing many Al Qaeda terrorists including an alternate 9/11 hijacker, an Al Qaeda ally who plotted to smuggle nukes into the country and many other major terrorists.
The billions sent to Afghanistan under Biden were a betrayal. While most of the money, like most of the weapons left behind, cannot be recovered, the Afghan Fund money can.
The Trump administration did the right thing by ending most of the flow of our money to the Taliban. SIGAR’s audit found that nearly half of the “implementing partners” distributing “aid” in Afghanistan had signed memorandums of understanding with the Taliban. Outrageously, the State Department allowed this to go on and the audit found that “State is not required to review the MOUs that implementing partners sign with the Taliban.” The humanitarian aid groups claiming that everyone in Afghanistan will die unless we fund them have been in bed with terrorists. And all of this went on with the complicity of the Biden administration whose USAID staffers actively obstructed any investigations of their ties to terrorists. They can never be trusted again. Neither can any of the organizations that signed memorandums with the Taliban.
The United States officially left Afghanistan, yet remained behind providing billions in foreign aid, printing and shipping currency to the state sponsor of Al Qaeda. It’s time for the American presence, including the the American University of Afghanistan, which is no longer in Afghanistan, to leave. It is not America’s business to provide foreign aid to the Afghans, to maintain a fund on their behalf or to allow organizations that we fund to aid Islamic terrorists.
Any money sent to Afghanistan aids the Taliban which in turn aids Al Qaeda. It’s time for us to leave Afghanistan and take the last of our money with us before we finance another 9/11.
Woodrow Wilson saw Congress opt out of the League of Nations. The United Nations is far worse, and President Trump should lead America out of that corrupt cabal.
Excellent coverage.
Very nice coverage! The problem is that I have seen it nowhere else and I get around quite a bit. How many other sink holes like this exist? Unknown.
The problem is that there is too much money supporting useless people in our government. The only way to stop it would be to turn the government off by revolutionary means. Otherwise we will continue the downward acceleration until the bottom with nothing left.
” Excellent Coverage ” It is- certainly. But it doesn’t look like our Reps and Senators are reading Front
Page. Probably too busy figuring out how to recoup their losses when Pres Trump closed up USAID.
What we clearly see here… is how the islamic loving Luciferian Globalist government of America is aiding, funding and helping satanic islam expand across this planet…
satanic islam is the Antichrist Beast system… evidence of satan’s defeat at the Cross. Where satan has raised up a Death Army to kill Christians and Jews… who worship the One True Living God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
The fake god allah of satanic islam is NOT the same god of the Jews & Christians !!!
Amazing. Seemingly just more evidence of how the Left wants to literally bring down not just America, but western civilization itself.
Israel on October 7, 2023 had globalist’s hands in it!
Leaving high tech military equipment to the tune of $85 billion behind in Afghanistan was not a blunder, it was done on purpose. President AutoPen made a lot of $$$ with that debacle.
How fukkyng stupid are people to support the regime of President AutoPen and the machinations of that party –
We have a lot of stupid people who keep voting for that which rips us off, steals our tax dollars, increases our taxes so it can steal more, unleashes a pLandemic of bio-warfare on its own citizens, allows homelessness to remain because like war, it’s a great way to grift tax payers.
What a horrific insult to the 9/11 survivors-families.
American taxpayers should be up in arms about this monetary submission to terrorists.
We need to purge our nation of all middle eastern members and/or supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood and any other groups that support, in affiliation or money, these jihadist groups.; they pose an extreme national security risk!
I am completely enraged at the methods being used by our government in support of terrorists. Biden should be immediately arrested and tried for treason for both this and his illicit dealings with China. Money always talks!
And, President Trump, for all his business acumen and chutzpah, has walked into these terrorists’ nest and I am totally unconvinced that he has the depth of understanding about Islam that is needed to deal with them. Qatar and Saudi Arabia are well practiced in their Quran-based arts of deception and duplicity and what they present to Trump is absolutely curated for strategically designed results while they manipulate behind his back. His over-the-top ego can easily become a downfall from these snakes and he may not see it coming.
The jet plane gift? Seriously? Preposterous that he would accept this and our national security should deny using it as it is very likely designed with virtually undetectable spyware; a Trojan horse. And what negotiating deference will they receive at the cost of our country and that of Israel? He’s proud but I think he needs a huge dose of true humility and a willingness to listen to Middle East experts like Robert Spencer, those at Jihad Watch, writers here at Frontpage as well as women like Aynaz Anni Cyrus, Ayyan Hirsi Ali and others whom you all would know to be well versed in the psychology and administration of terror infliction to individuals and countries and their Quran based methodologies.
I am much afraid if Trump does not seek this out he may inadvertently put our country and the world in a degree of jeopardy he does not see coming!
Maybe I’m off the rails, but I don’t CC think so
Gabrielle – I love President Trump and support him 100%. Not
because I’m captivated emotionally but because of many, many
substantive reasons. Having said that, I am in agreement with
you regarding the plane from Qatar.
Qatar is a Muslim terrorist supporting nation and we don’t need
our Air Force One associated with them in any way. The very idea
makes me furious. So what if it’s a gift and will save us billions of
dollars. It is an opportunity for evil Islam to embed itself into
American consciousness – as Muslims continue in their relentless
quest for domination of infidels.
I remember several months back the great Caroline Glick saying
that Qatar funded Hamas and other Muslim terrorist groups as
readily as Iran did. I remember Mayor Rudy Giuliani right after 9/11
telling that Saudi prince to take his ten-thousand dollar donation
and stick it. And that’s what America should say to Qatar – and to
any other Muslim nation whose real goal is to slay and subjugate us.
Reading this article is like watching the unmasking of Biden’s
squinty-eye, plastic face to reveal a live gargoyle countenance
so grotesque as to make one recoil in horror. His evil regarding
Americans – and that of his devious influencer Obama – knows
no bounds.
We have U.S. Congress members becoming physically violent
in their zeal to protect vicious criminal illegals. Disgraceful
behavior – and they are all Biden supporters. Stopping that
enormous United States funding to America’s arch enemy –
and total 9/11 enablers – the Taliban will therefore be an
uphill battle. I pray that at least the funding for 9/11 survivors
will be released to them – after more than 23 years – and not
to the Muslim terrorists Taliban.
Personally, I wonder if the prostate cancer has spread to his brain-> it’s stage 4.
Still funding the Taliban. Are we still iving free everything to the illegal aliens? I wonder about Trump, Marco Rubio ( Head of UISAID which sends money to Taliban) Kristi Noem ( Head of DHS ) and David Richardson – administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency,
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), specifically through the Shelter and Services Program (SSP), provide funding to communities to support migrants, not directly to individuals. This funding is intended to offset costs associated with providing services to migrants, including food, shelter, and other essential needs.
‘USAID sending $40 million per week to Taliban…’: Witness drops bombshell at Congress hearing
As to illegal aliens: they get FREE education for their children; Welfare including SNAP, WIC, Section 8 Housing, free phones, TANF, and every other program they can access; and FREE Healthcare, including Organ Transplants (Any who don’t believe this, need to look up Ana Puente of S. CA who has received 4 Liver Transplants at UCLA, all on the “taxpayer’s dime”. This included ALL follow up care and anti-rejection drugs. Per LA Times)
Clinton(Bill)Obama and Biden acts of Treason against America and the American People they all should be doing Life Without Parole Pardons or Clemency
