Biden-Harris Gave Over $1B to ‘Palestinians’ Since Oct 7
Frontpagemagazine ^ | October 18, 2024 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 10/18/2024 8:30:38 AM PDT by SJackson

Terrorists murdered over 1,000 people and got over $1 billion.

Oct 7 marked the grim anniversary of the worst massacre of Jews since Holocaust. The terrorist perpetrators of it however could celebrate the over $1 billion in foreign aid from the U.S.

46 Americans had been murdered on Oct 7 and another 12 taken hostage, but ahead of the Oct 7 anniversary, USAID announced that it was sending another $336 million in taxpayer-funded ‘aid’ to the terrorist occupied territories in Israel behind the killings of Americans.

USAID boasted that this “brings the total U.S. humanitarian assistance announced for the Palestinian people to more than $1 billion since October 2023.”

The terrorists had murdered over 1,000 people and gotten over $1 billion.

In 2023, ahead of the Oct 7 attacks, a Freedom Center Investigates expose revealed that Israeli deaths shot up by 900% after Biden dispensed $1 billion in aid to the terrorist areas.

Oct 7 would likely never have happened without that blood money.

In April 2021, the Biden-Harris administration had restored aid to the terrorist areas after a near total cut off by the Trump administration.

By June 2021, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was planning what would become the Oct 7 attacks.

In 2022, the number of Israeli deaths had increased by 400% since the aid cutoff, and Hamas was drawing up plans for its own version of 9/11 targeting Israeli’s skyscrapers in Tel Aviv.

In 2022, Biden met with Palestinian Authority terror leader Mahmoud Abbas and boasted, “I reversed the policies of my predecessor and resumed aid to the Palestinians — more than a half a billion dollars in 2021.”

Why has Hamas still not been defeated? Part of the answer is we’re still funding it.

A Hamas commander recently told the Washington Post that “almost every facet of weapons production, from machine tools to agricultural chemicals for explosives, was either labeled for civilian use or hidden inside shipments of food or other everyday wares.”

Hamas funding came from Iran, but also “much of it siphoned from aid money, charitable contributions” and other supposedly legitimate sources. The aid that the Biden-Harris administration sends in continues to be seized by Hamas despite promises it would not happen.

That’s why Hamas has been able to keep paying salaries to terrorists since Oct 7.

Aid trucks that come into Gaza have to pay tens of thousands of dollars to Hamas or turn over 50% of their cargo. Some aid trucks are seized outright. Israel’s COGAT, which coordinates the entry of humanitarian aid, estimates that over 50,000 trucks have entered Gaza.

Kamala falsely claimed that, “the UN reports that no food has entered northern Gaza in nearly 2 weeks. Israel must urgently do more to facilitate the flow of aid to those in need.” In reality, Hamas was taking over the aid trucks. And Hamas terrorists were secretly recorded complaining that they had no more room for all the aid.

American foreign aid has likely become the largest source of funding for Hamas. As long as foreign aid continues to flow to Gaza, Hamas will be able to pay salaries and fund its operations.

Hamas learned all this from our failed “hearts and minds” strategy in Afghanistan.

The massive amounts of aid sent to Afghanistan became the largest source of income for the Taliban. The Islamic terror group imposed taxes on aid, including taxing aid trucks and even military supply trucks. Under Obama, 10% of the Pentagon’s logistics contracts went to Taliban payoffs. The Islamic terrorists were being paid hundreds of millions to leave our trucks alone.

Hamas and its political allies faked a famine in Gaza to undermine Israel’s military campaign and to cash in on the hundreds of millions in aid. Every truck that enters Gaza helps fund terror.

Under Samantha Power, an Obama official who once called for a military occupation of Israel, USAID has become a cash machine printing massive amounts of money for terrorists. Since the Taliban takeover, USAID has provided over $2 billion in aid for Afghanistan. Power and other officials stonewalled a watchdog investigation of whether aid was going to terrorists. A watchdog report from earlier this year found that more than half of USAID’s “implementing partners” who actually work on the ground in Afghanistan reported paying “taxes” to the Taliban.

Special licenses were issued allowing transactions with the Taliban and an Al Qaeda partner.

As far back as 2021, the Biden-Harris administration was aware that our foreign aid was going to Hamas. “We assess there is a high risk Hamas could potentially derive indirect, unintentional benefit from U.S. assistance to Gaza,” the State Department wrote, requesting exemptions from sanctions on aiding the terror group.

USAID instructions for aid groups in Gaza warn “if Hamas contacts you, be polite but minimize the contact” and “do not pay taxes or fees to the De Facto Authorities (DFAs) – we legally cannot reimburse you for them.” The DFAs are Hamas. Another guideline instructs, “do not pay any taxes, fees, levies etc. to the De Facto Authorities (DFAs) using USG funds.” The implication is that they have to bribe Hamas on their own. But the money for the implementing partners all ultimately comes from the United States government.

“In all likelihood, the Biden-Harris administration has prolonged the Gaza war, allowed aid to flow to Israel’s enemies, and misused taxpayer funds,” Senator Tom Cotton recently warnedUSAID Administrator Samantha Power. “You should immediately suspend all aid until taking credible and serious steps to stop Americans’ tax dollars from funding terrorists.”

Power and USAID have no intention of doing so. The over $1 billion sent into the terrorist areas in Israel and the over $2 billion sent into the terrorist areas of Afghanistan are only the beginning. Islamic terrorism will never end if we keep financing it. And that’s what we’re doing.

The anniversary of Oct 7 should have been a time to end the flow of taxpayer money to terrorists. Instead it’s a time to take stock of the $1 billion we have sent to the enemy.

WHY?!

Putin is a bad guy, I’m not naive. He’ll kill anyone who gets in his way and real dissent is a bad idea there.

But why is he considered by dems to be the devil and people who do horrific things to Israel get a pass?

I’m not sure, but I don’t think FDR gave $1B to Tojo after December 7. But times were different then.

I’m talking about neocons ruling America. When it comes to the Forever War, if you want dead Koreans, that’s how you get dead Koreans. The Norks Are already fighting in the Ukraine. If this doesn’t stop it won’t end well for anyone.

Why? Because the gullible MSM/New York Times etc function as stupid butt boys for democrats. They are incapable of the smallest analytical analysis - I'm guessing strategic democrats are getting their hands greased - paid off - diamonds, cash, drugs...

Thank you for referencing that article SJackson. Please note that the following critique is directest at corrupt, election year Congress and not at you.

"Biden-Harris [??? emphasis added] Gave Over $1B to ‘Palestinians’ Since Oct 7"


FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Democratic and Republican Trump supporters are reminded that the Constitution's drafters not only gave the “power of the purse” uniquely to Congress (House), not to the executive branch, but that Congress has no express constitutional power to use unconstitutional taxes based on abuse of its repealable (hint) 16th Amendment powers (16A; direct taxes) as peacetime foreign aid.

So the corrupt mainstream media is once again using Biden-Harris as the scapegoat to hide unconstitutional taxing and spending by corrupt, repealable (another hint) post-17th Amendment ratification (17A; popular voting for federal senators) Congress in a pivotal election year.

Since Congress and renegade states have repeatedly proven that they are enemies of the people imo, it is now up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to effectively "impeach and remove" ALL (exceptions?) state and federal lawmakers and executives in November.

In fact, it's up to us Trump supporters to take the first MAJOR step in draining the swamp by supporting hopeful Trump 47 with a new, Constitution-respecting Congress, new state lawmakers too, not only so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, but will support him to quickly finish draining the swamp.

Supporting Trump to finish draining the swamp includes supporting him to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes by leading the states to repeal 16&17A, effectively "seceding" ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government by doing so.

Finally, let's not allow the anti-Trump media try to fade our memories of what we witnessed on July 13.

Can you believe how scummy the Biden-Harris regime /Democrat party is? Trump better get elected. He will cut off this money spigot the next day.
AND how about the billions (about 50 billion) transferred to Iran, and sanctions lifted, while Joe Potato has been in office?

Since Joe Biden took office, there have been several transactions and agreements involving Iranian funds, but it's important to clarify that these were not direct transfers from the U.S. to Iran. Here's a breakdown of the major financial actions:

Unfrozen Assets
$6 Billion Prisoner Swap Deal: In September 2023, as part of a prisoner exchange, the U.S. agreed to unfreeze $6 billion in Iranian assets that were held in South Korean banks13. This money belonged to Iran but had been frozen due to sanctions.
$10 Billion Iraq Waiver: In November 2023, the Biden administration extended a waiver allowing Iraq to release an estimated $10 billion owed to Iran for energy imports2. This money was previously blocked by U.S. sanctions.

Indirect Financial Benefits
Oil Sanctions Relief: The Biden administration reportedly eased enforcement of oil sanctions on Iran, allowing increased exports to China. This has potentially generated tens of billions in annualized revenue for Iran5.

Total Estimated Benefit: Some analysts suggest that the combination of unfrozen assets and sanctions relief may have enriched Iran by more than $50 billion since Biden took office5. However, this figure includes indirect benefits and potential future earnings, not just direct transfers.


Important Caveats
Restricted Use: The unfrozen funds are supposed to be used only for humanitarian purposes, such as food and medicine purchases34.
Monitoring: The U.S. government claims to be closely monitoring these funds to ensure they are not misused4.
Pre-existing Iranian Funds: The money involved was already Iran's, not new funds provided by the U.S. government3.
It's crucial to note that while these actions have made significant sums available to Iran, they are not straightforward "transfers" from the U.S. government to Iran. The situation is complex, involving the unfreezing of pre-existing Iranian assets and changes in sanctions enforcement.

We need a great overturning in unofficial DC, and elected. I beleive WW3 is inevitable at this point. With DoD Directives now openly funding NGOperatives against Americans as spies and military, Posse Comitatus is erased. They will just use UN troops and foreigners trained in military bases. Me writing what I just did, is reason for me to be detained and imprisoned. Political discussion by MAGA, or those speaking of a return to the Constitution will be dealt with also. We have the example with the J6 people. May God have mercy on our souls. We totally fuqd it up again. Mankind took a great gift, and turned it into another Holocaust. This time it will be of those with a memory of “what was, which will soon be known as what has never beeeen”

Why ever give them any money or any help?
Feeding terrorists?

In general, I do not like wasting money overseas at all, but if they want to waste government (taxpayers) money on foreign places, there are many places in Africa, Asia and South America, where US money may actually help somebody, and not support people who hate us!
