Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) “knowingly” siphoned off millions in American taxpayer-funded humanitarian assistance into the coffers of the al-Qaeda wing in Syria, the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) at the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) reported this week.
In post-Islamic State (ISIS) caliphate Syria, the al-Qaeda-linked Ha’yat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) group has surfaced as the strongest jihadi group in the region.
On Tuesday, the Pentagon OIG’s Lead Inspector General for Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR), the official name of the U.S. mission against ISIS, revealed:
Since late 2017, USAID [U.S. Agency for International Development] OIG investigations have uncovered numerous instances of possible or confirmed diversions to armed groups in Idlib Governorate in northwestern Syria, including Ha’yat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS), a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization.
One investigation found that an NGO’s employees knowingly diverted thousands of USAID- funded food kits worth millions of dollars to ineligible beneficiaries (including HTS fighters) and submitted falsified beneficiary lists. The investigation resulted in USAID suspending the program and the NGO terminating the employment of dozens of individuals from March to May 2018.

The executive order on GITMO would prohibit a AMCIT from being incarcerated there. However, a treason charge can be applicable.
Sounds like a CIA caper ordered by Obama and carried out by his gay CIA thug, Brennan!
NGOs also shove as many third world refuse demographics as they can into America.
And NO ONE will go to jail for this, because the Deep State criminals are still running our country.
Syria & Russia want to eliminate Al Qaeda in Idlib. We won’t let them.
Someone should go to prison over this.
I won’t hold my breath.
Arm the terrorists and you have someone to go to war against. I wonder how much money McCain off military equipment contractors?
That would be impossible. He has none. Michael, the Moocher..now that’s another story.
When it comes to U.S. non-military aid or any aid not directly handled by U.S. military commands on the ground, there is no more good basis for trusting any third party humanitarian organizations operating in Iraq or Syria, particularly the U.N. and international NGOs, than there is any surefire vetting possible for Iraqi or Syrian refugees and “immigrants” to the west.
It’s easy to blame Soros for all this, but what is more important are the Deep State relationships between current and former State Dept employees who, like K & J-street fund themselves via NGOs and consulting contracts.
It’s a disgusting, corrupt cabal, and with not oversight. State Dept official should be banned for 5-10 years or life from government contracts.
Same old shit in Pentagon, Justice, EPA, etc. etc. but w/ State it is idealogical and anti-American.
