The United Nations Announces Its Next Ritual Screwing of American Taxpayers

While Americans remained trapped in Afghanistan, including being held hostage, the Taliban are busy making international connections to help prop up their new regime. It wasn’t enough that American taxpayers gave the terrorist government tens of billions of dollars in high-tech military equipment. Now, they are going to make sure and fleece us even after we are gone.

To make sure that happens, the United Nations has announced a meeting with the Taliban, and that meeting included the promise to keep shoveling money into the bottomless pit that is Afghanistan.

A normal person might ask why aid should ever be impartially administered, especially when you are dealing with a country now run by terrorists. But we aren’t dealing with normal people. Rather, the UN is made up of a bunch of hypocritical, virtue-signaling tyrants that enjoy sticking their fingers in the eye of the United States. And because the world’s former top super-power is run by pushovers who never want to rock the board, the US will take its punishment and promptly ask for another.

Meanwhile, the US taxpayer gets screwed as they overwhelming pay the highest percentage of the UNs funding compared to any other nation on earth. So just to recap, we lost a war in Afghanistan after spending $2 trillion dollars there in military assistance and civilian aid, and now we get to give that country more money, except this time it’s run by people that ally with Al Qaeda. Just brilliant.

An America First foreign policy would really come in handy right now. One that prioritizes responsibility with taxpayer money and doesn’t just give boatloads of it to the UN so it can’t be handed over to terrorists. And don’t kid yourself, there is no such thing as “impartial aid.” Everything that happens in Afghanistan will go through the Taliban, and they will be getting their cut as always. It wasn’t enough that we lost a 20-year war to these people. Now, we have to pay for their retirement too.

This is how the United Nations, with the Clinton admin, propped up the warlord Aidid in Somalia. They took aid distribution out of the US Navy’s hands and gave the aid to select strongmen and warlords to distribute. These warlords then used their new found power over the food supply to enrich their loyalists and force ordinary people to submit to them... or starve. There was no alternate source of food after that, so everyone had to submit to a warlord just to feed their families, and the warlord expected to be repaid.

“We are run by the dumbest people”.

The economic day of reckoning is fast approaching. There is no budget discipline, both political parties are spending like drunken sailors. The federal reserve is printing money from air to buy the debt the government is running up. Social security will have to start shorting payments by 2034. The Democrats want to extend Medicare to age 60. Plus all the other new entitlement programs in the proposed budget and stimulus. We are allowing 200,000+ unskilled immigrants to cross our borders illegally in addition to refugees and other immigrants entering “legally”. Most will become a drain on social services at the county and state level.

The day of reckoning is fast coming. One day other nations (China, Europe, the Arab oil exporters) will suddenly declare they will not accept US dollars as payment and the dollar will become worthless. The government will default and the IMF, World Bank, and UN will impose draconian economic austerity on our country. It will make the Great Depression of the 1930’s look like boom times.

Watch the urban centers fall into anarchy when the multiple generations of welfare recipients and the millions of recent immigrants 100% dependent on government payments are cut off. Watch senior citizens who sacrificed and saved become homeless when the value of their investments go to zero overnight, companies default on pensions, banks holding IRA’s declare insolvency, and social security checks bounce. Ask the people of Venezuela how it feels when money is worthless, there are no jobs, and you have to dig through dumpsters for food.
