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.”
