Turning Off the Tap of Terrorist Funding
A briefing by Rachel Ehrenfeld
September 19, 2003

Furthermore, terrorist organizations have created links with the Russian Mafia, Colombian drug cartel, and a number of other international criminal organizations. These links of politics, money, geography, and arms create a mutually beneficial relationship that allows both the terrorists and the criminal organizations to prosper. Drug trafficking, an estimated $2 trillion market per year, has become the best weapon for terrorists. Beyond helping terrorists to finance their wide range of illegal activities, the drug market has also allowed terrorist organizations to undermine targeted countries both politically and economically, while at the same time creating a crisis in the targeted country's public health system. Furthermore, the illegal drug trade has helped Islamist terrorist organizations recruit new members by citing drug use as an indication of Western degeneracy, and a sign that such corrupt societies need to be destroyed.

Funding From Our Own Backyard
Terrorists also fund their campaigns by more direct channels, specifically through the complacency of Western governments, and more specifically, through the United Nations. In 2002, the United Nations Relief Works Agency (UNRWA) distributed $521.7 million to the Palestinian Authority. Most of this money did not make its way into the pockets of the Palestinian people, as the average Palestinian continued to live on one to two dollars a day. Rather, large portions of this money ended up in the pockets of the Palestinian leaders and their terrorist associates. While the Palestinian Arab refugees constitute 17% of worldwide refugees, they receive more than one third of the annual refugee funds allocated by the UN, with roughly 30% of this $350 million coming from the United States. The staff of UNRWA, the organization that oversees and facilitates the aid to Palestinians, is staffed by so many Hamas members that it is nicknamed the "Hamas Union." In the UN refugee camps themselves, large amounts of weapons and bomb materials have been found, including facilities to create rockets that can reach major Israeli cities. These weapons have been constructed under the watchful eye of the UN, and with money given to the UN under the guise of aiding impoverished refugees.

Pakistani forces tied to Taliban are hiding bin Laden, CIA thinks


The first published interview with new CIA Director Porter Goss, which appeared this past week in Time magazine, contained a bombshell that exploded with barely any notice.

To the ritual question -- when will we get Osama bin Laden? -- Goss gave a far from ritual answer.

``That is a question that goes far deeper than you know,'' Goss began. ``We have some weak links'' that make it impossible for now to get bin Laden, he explained, pointing to ``the very difficult question of dealing with sanctuaries in sovereign states.''

Sounds like you know where he is, the interviewer pressed. ``I have an excellent idea of where he is,'' Goss responded.

The CIA boss was delivering a clear message to the ``weak link'' -- Pakistan and its military ruler, Gen. Pervez Musharraf.

There is no hope for the UN and other anti America people.

How they must sit and laugh at the stupid Americans, who allowed their country to be overrun by them.
