In mid-August, I predicted that Biden would end up funding the Taliban through a humanitarian aid channel.
Understand that this is not a question of ‘if’ this will happen, but when.
Going forward, you will see more stories about the “humanitarian catastrophe” in Afghanistan and, just as in Yemen, claims of famine, orchestrated by the same media that spread this same propaganda about Iran’s Houthi proxies in Yemen.
Aid groups will function under the Taliban, they will pay protection money to them (while swearing up and down on a stack of Das Kapitals that they’re not) and we’ll end up funding them.
Now it’s officially happening.
Today, the United States announced nearly $64 million in additional humanitarian assistance for the people of Afghanistan. This funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the U.S. Department of State will flow through independent organizations, such as UN agencies and NGOs, and provide life-saving support directly to Afghans facing the compounding effects of insecurity, conflict, recurring natural disasters, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
It was naive to believe Biden would get all Americans out of Afghanistan before sending millions to the Taliban.
USAID and the media are vocally insisting that the money is going “directly to Afghans” and not to the Taliban. Or rather it will go to the UN and various NGOs which will predictably pay the Taliban protection money.
The idea that the UN is an honest broker that won’t be entangled in dealing with terrorists is a sick joke when you consider that UNRWA in Gaza is pretty much Hamas.
As I noted in, Biden Tried to Send Pallets of Cash to the Taliban as Kabul Fell, the Taliban made more money from taxing deliveries than drugs.
One expert estimated that at the peak of Obama and Biden’s Afghanistan surge, “the Taliban’s ‘taxes’ on truckers supplying NATO likely even surpassed the Taliban’s income from drugs, being tens of millions of dollars at least, maybe up to $100 million annually.”
The Taliban were already taxing NGOs.
This past spring, Taliban representatives, not just in Kandahar but also around the country, began asking demining and other NGOs to register with their own NGO commission, and to share the details of the finances of their projects.
Foreign aid to Afghanistan is terror funding. And it must be stopped.

What the hell? We left them $85 billion dollars worth of military equipment. Let them beat it all into plowshares and then plant their fields with something other than poppies.

Not only is Biden pathetic, not only are his handlers too, but, and I want to drive this one home, so are all those who voted for this monumental nothing, a professional political hack who has done nothing good in his career and is now doing grave harm. Unforgiveable across the board.

The 64 million dollar question…inflation is terrible, is it not?….Just which American citizens are going to be condemned for not being obedient to king biden and wanting to keep money in their bank accounts? He’ll issue another “mandate” for which he has no real authority.
The 64 thousand dollar question is just as easy to answer: How much will pelosi demand the House hand over to her fellow criminals in office?
As Mr. Greenfield predicted, so did a lot of us say the same thing.
It was all so “very carefully planned” according to the idiots in charge of such evil.

How many Afghani immigrants has he put up in his Delaware home so far? He is generous with other people’s money. So how generous is he with his own possessions?

This is yesterdays news for JW readers. We all knew it was coming, with more to come.
Biden administration=Daily disappointment.
When will Biden make the Taliban a nuclear power? With this kind of money they can afford to purchase nukes.
Walter Sieruk says
That weak old Joe Biden is “caving in” by being willing to have the US taxpayers pay a ransom to the Taliban to get those American back.
The Taliban are engaging in extortion which is a criminal offence in all civilized countries.
We may all be sure if Donald Trump was still in the Office ofthe Presidency .as he should be, the gangster/terrorists who are the Taliban wouldn’t dare attempt that criminal coercion ploy.
Spiro says
Ransom to be paid
So now we pay ransom to terrorist

Biden to Send $64,000,000 to Taliban Before Getting All Americans Out
……………
Ransom.
This is codified in the Qur’an:
So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either [confer] favor afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens…
–Qur’an 47:4
That we are enabling this is sickening. Americans never should have been left behind by Biden.
Check Burry says
As we all already know, he and his bunch are all useless idiots.
Shameful act to do, using American peoples taxes.
Ditto UK
OLD GUY says
Sounds like another Hunter deal.
Hey Biden beings you have all this excess American tax dollars how about sending small town America some of it. Our streets, water systems, sewer systems and school facilities could use a little upgrade.
Awe hell no you can’t help American tax payers with their own money, you have to give it to GANGSTERS in countries that want to take everything we have and kill us.
Makes sense to me, I hope you raise my taxes so I can contribute more to you STUPID anti American plan.
Our Democratic leadership cares nothing about the common citizens of America. They are only interested in POWER and GREED for themselves and their families. This beautiful country will fail with this kind of leadership.
