The Biden Administration is hiding $1 billion in payments to the Taliban

Philip Bump of The Washington Post–the reporter who argues that information about the Paul Pelosi break in/assault should be hidden from the public–would be proud of the Biden Administration. They are actively hiding evidence of what they are doing with the $1.1 billion they have been sending to the Taliban.

Wait, what? We are sending money to the Taliban? You know, those folks kicking girls out of school, executing our allies, killing people for being gay, and having just killed a bunch of our troops?

Those Taliban?

Yes, those Taliban.

408 days have passed since Taliban banned teenage girls from school.

Afghanistan is the ONLY country in the world where girls aren’t allowed to go to school. This is the Taliban celebrating the closure of girls schools by dancing in their empty classrooms.pic.twitter.com/IqdQIxHijS

It turns out that the United States is still the largest provider of foreign aid to Afghanistan, and the Biden Administration is working assiduously and against the law to hide what is happening with that cash. AYFKM?

The facts come the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR). SIGAR was created in 2008 in the Defense Authorization Act because everything having to do with Afghanistan was corrupt and unaccountable. Congress finally decided that it needed an objective 3rd party to monitor what the hell was happening to all that money.

Earlier this week SIGAR dropped a bombshell–one that clearly didn’t hit the media since they ignored it in favor of defaming Republicans. They flat out stated that the Biden Administration is obstructing and breaking the law:

To Congress, the Secretaries of State and Defense, and the American people,

I am pleased to submit SIGAR’s 57th quarterly report on the status of reconstruction in Afghanistan.

The United States remains Afghanistan’s single largest donor, having provided more than $1.1 billion in assistance to support the Afghan people since the Taliban’s takeover in August 2021. However, SIGAR, for the first time in its history is unable this quarter to provide Congress and the American people with a full accounting of this U.S. government spending due to the noncooperation of several U.S. government agencies. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which administers the majority of U.S. government spending for Afghanistan, and the Treasury Department refused to cooperate with SIGAR in any capacity, while the State Department was selective in the information it provided pursuant to SIGAR’s audit and quarterly data requests, sharing high-level funding data but not details of agency-supported programs in Afghanistan. This is in direct violation of Section 1229(h)(5)(A) of the NDAA for FY 2008 (requiring the agencies to provide information and assistance upon request) and Section 6(c)(1) of the Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended.

SIGAR has notified Congress of this matter

Idiot me, I never for a moment thought that the United States would be funneling money to the evil and medieval Taliban, sworn enemies of the United States and hideous oppressors of their own people. But of course Biden has been shoveling cash to Iran, which is all about “Death to America,” so I guess I should have expected it.

At a time when the media and the Democrat establishment–oops, I repeat myself–are screaming at the top of their lungs about how democracy is threatened by having an election and allowing citizens to vote–the Administration is also actively violating a law in order to hide their support for our enemies.

That’s not me saying that. That is SIGAR.

For 14 years, under Republicans and Democrats, SIGAR has been able to do its job. Biden loses Afghanistan to the Taliban, continues to shovel money in their direction despite horrendous human rights abuses, and now is hiding what he is doing with all that cash. Perhaps sending parts for all the military equipment he gifted the Taliban? Probably not, but they won’t say.

It’s hard to see this as incompetence, or negligence, or any other standard excuse for government failure. If SIGAR could do its job unobstructed for that long and now suddenly face obstacles due to noncooperation, it is obviously intentional.

They are hiding something bad. Really bad.

Congress has to get to the bottom of it when they reconvene with a Republican majority next year.

It would not surprise me, not Biden’s Administration.
If it’s bad for America, it’s good for Biden’s policy.

This is outrageous!

I wonder how all the Wounded Warriors, who left arms, legs, and other body parts inAfghanistan, feel about this?

And the wives and orphans whose husbands and fathers never came back?

Don’t worry. No doubt the money was diverted and laundered before any grubby Talis got their fingers on it.

Just think every cent that you paid in income tax for your entire life was sent to the Taliban.

Money needed to be sent abroad to rig the 2022 midterms so as not to leave a paper trail here in the U.S.

Ever notice the global turmoil and the depletion of American resources so America gets sidelined? The destruction of the military? The destruction of the American fabric, the destruction of the energy sector and the obamian empowerment of Islam and the UN?

All intentional by the Obamanites.

Biden is just the third term of the Obamanites., the greatest attack on western Christian man, his descendents, and their progress.

This is the greatest attack on America ever.

Whether we wanted to or not, if you are alive,you are in this war. Your family.. your kids are being introduced to ways never before.
It feels heavy, and it seems one incident after another.. Justice gone and there is no Godly influence in Washington leadership today. No America first and they are depleting reserves in everything.. on purpose.
I wonder if in all the church services across the nation, on Sunday morning, would spend earnestly praying for God’s power to rid us of evil domination ....

Vote Republican next Tuesday.

Aid and comfort to the enemies of the US. That’s treason.
