$160 Million of US Taxpayer Money to Fight Corruption in Afghan Customs!?
IWB ^ | Mark Angelides

As the media complain about security spending for President Donald Trump and his family, they happily overlook the billions of dollars wasted on seemingly contradictory programs to hold up corrupt governments we are supposedly at war with. Are they just ignorant? Or is the war not actually a war?

To start with, there is so much conflicting information on when the war actually began; it has been renamed, repurposed and twisted in so many ways that even official sources seem to be at odds with each other about when war kicked off, and even when it finished!

The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR, who I’ll cover in another article, seriously dodgy stuff going on here) state that activities have been taking place in Afghanistan since 1999, ostensibly the al-Qaeda and Taliban Sanctions Committee which linked the two groups. Then came a series of events in 2001 which culminated in the September 11th attacks.

This is the Afghan equivalent of Obama’s Infrastructure scam….only his cost 8 times as much, and all we saw were a few Obama rainbow signs as a few pot holes were filled in NYC.

We’ve been taken to the cleaners by every two bit crook in the ME... almost as bad as Clapper, Comey, and the other ‘elites’ have taken the American taxpayers...

Not one dime more on these Neanderthals. They are dishonest to the core, duplicitous, and untrustworthy backstabbers. Those in power crave American money - not freedom for their people.

I suspect - but can't prove - that most of the hellholes around the world the Clinton Foundation was shaking down for million dollar 'speeches' were also on the take... Thugs taking American Taxpayer's money and living high while their people we wanted to help did without.

And the folks from POCK EEEE STAN? They've played everyone in the world for fools... they're on everyone's side... I'm guessing they sold their nukes 20 times over and offered to 'keep them safeguarded'. Our people aren't THAT STUPID THAT THEY WERE UNAWARE... SO THE OBVIOUS QUESTION? WE'RE OUR PEOPLE 'ON THE TAKE' TOO?

I'm guessing fellow 'liberal elites' like Clapper and other 'intelligence types' didn't bother to look because their friends were raking in the cash... Not 'illegally' just 'immorally'... Clapper doesn't understand why the American people hate The Deep State. It's because they rip us off, lie to us, pad the salaries of their friends and don't protect us - which is what we're paying them for. Boarders leak, Congress doesn't protect our borders, Congress does NOTHING for their pay, the CIA spends more time spying on Americans than terrorists and they wonder why we hate them?

I saw the whole speech. I am dismayed. It is well within the realm of insanity (expecting different results doing the same failed policies and tactics). It’s the proverbial lipstick on the pig. Politically,I don’t see how this does not strip a portion of his base while giving the left more fodder. Militarily,the pivot should be the Pacific as we can’t seem to keep billion dollar warships from crashing and a lunatic keeps bluffing nukes.
