Government Watchdog Sounds the Alarm, Says Biden Admin Plans to Forward Taxpayer Money to the Taliban
The Western Journal ^ | February 13, 2022 at 11:58am | Jack Davis

The Biden administration is planning to throw Americans’ tax dollars at the Taliban without knowing how the money will be used, according to a watchdog group.

“The Biden administration has laid out plans through the U.S. Treasury to open up the U.S. taxpayer dollars spigot back into Afghanistan,” Adam Andrzejewski of the group Open The Books said in a video on the organization’s website.

“We run the risk of funding the world’s most dangerous foreign terrorist organization if we open up the U.S. taxpayer spigot through the Department of Treasury,” he said.

On Friday, President Joe Biden signed an executive order that freed up $7 billion in funds that were frozen after the collapse of the previous Afghan government, according to CNN. Half of the money could go to fund relief operations in the country. Half would be available to the survivors of 9/11 victims to fund litigation CNN reported.

Andrzejewski said that some basic steps need to be taken to justify any tax dollars going to the Taliban.

“It has to serve people who have real needs and we need an audit trail. When we secured the country over 20 years, we didn’t even have those things in place,” he said.

“Unless we learn from our history, we’re going to repeat it. If we’re using taxpayer money in Afghanistan, it’s going to be stolen,” he said.

Paying for U.S. hostages and not to broadcast their gruesome deaths extortion game.

The taliban may wage war over this unless it’s indexed for inflation. It may be worthless in months.

Step 1: Demand an account of all US citizens to be sure no one is still trapped there.

Step 2: Demand the return of ALL US property, including weapons and vehicles.

It belongs to the people of Afghanistan...not 9-11 victims. Send medicines and food.

I seem to recall bin Laden or one of his cohorts saying something to the effect of “making the West wear veils”... masks, veils, same difference.

I’ve said it before. I’ll say it again. And I’ll KEEP saying it!

Mother Government is EVIL and OUT of control.

Do. Your. Homework. Educate yourself and pay in the LEAST amount of dollars you are legally FORCED TO in confiscatory TAXES every year. Live BELOW your means. Do it!

STARVE the Beast that is Government!

I know. It’s an uphill battle, but at least YOU will know that YOUR tax dollars are NOT going to fund abortions, layabouts, illegal invaders and all of the EVIL stupidity Mother Government can think up on any random day!

You might think I’m NUTS, but I predict a future IslamoFascist attack on America that will make 9/11 PALE in comparison. Prove me wrong.

Plan accordingly, FRiends.
