Biden regime gives $2,350,000,000 in taxpayer money
to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan

Biden’s handlers have insisted that the Taliban would not get this money, but never adequately explained how it would be kept away from the group that has no significant challenges to its rule in 90% of the country. And the Taliban are indeed seizing the aid that is flowing into Afghanistan.
Biden Admin Has Given $2.35 Billion to Taliban-Controlled Afghanistan
by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, August 8, 2023:
The Biden administration has provided more than $2.35 billion in taxpayer dollars to Afghanistan since the Taliban retook control of the government in 2021 following a deadly U.S. evacuation.
The United States remains Afghanistan’s top patron, even as lawmakers and federal oversight officials warn that these funds could be propping up the Taliban’s terrorist government. Updated spending figures were disclosed Tuesday in a report by the Special Inspector General for Afghan Reconstruction (SIGAR), a federal watchdog that documents waste, fraud, and abuse related to U.S. expenditures in the war-torn country.
Around $1.7 billion “remained available for possible disbursement” at the time of SIGAR’s report, meaning that this money is ready to flow into non-profit groups and other entities working on reconstruction projects in Afghanistan. With the Taliban exerting control over nearly every sector of the country’s infrastructure—including the NGO community—it is more than likely that a sizable portion of these funds will end up in the terror group’s coffers.
The latest figures are certain to increase congressional pressure on the Biden administration to stop sending taxpayer funds into Afghanistan until officials can ensure the Taliban is not stealing the money. John Sopko, head of SIGAR, told the House Foreign Affairs Committee in April that he “cannot assure this committee or the American taxpayer we are not currently funding the Taliban.” Sopko also accused the Biden administration of blocking his investigatory efforts and refusing to hand over documents that could show if the Taliban is being propped up by American cash.
In the two years since the Taliban retook control of Afghanistan following the Biden administration’s withdrawal of American forces in 2021, it has become increasingly clear that the terrorist group views international assistance as a “revenue stream,” according to SIGAR’s latest report….
And we didn't even ask for the return of the billions of dollars worth of weapons we left them!
Time Magazine condemns the ‘wilting’ of free speech in
Denmark and Sweden amid new laws to appease Muslims
AUG 11, 2023 8:00 AM BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS
Sweden and Denmark are finally caving, prompting an article by Time magazine entitled Denmark and Sweden’s Commitment to Free Speech Is Wilting in the Face of Quran Burning.
The article addresses the concerted diplomatic pressure from the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), “led by countries like Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Iran,” and states that “the Danish government held firm and refused demands to impose Islamic blasphemy norms.” That is, until now, as “recent events have shattered this resolve.” Sweden has also stood firm, until now.
I wrote at the time:
The frenzied reaction over Qur’an burnings and the doubling-down on demands from the OIC to bully Western countries into conformity with the Sharia should cause people in the West to pause to consider the consequences of the vast numbers of unvetted Muslim migrants flowing into the West who do not share Western values.
Elected Western leaders should understand that they do not have the right to impose Sharia tenets on their citizens, whose rights are ostensibly protected by the constitutions of the various countries. Also, the Qur’an desecrations were not a demonstration of “hate”; rather, they were a demonstration of opposition to Sharia tenets and their incursion into the West. Surrendering in the face of threats parades the West’s weakness for the OIC, Communists and others to observe.
An article by Salem Alketbi in the Jerusalem Post epitomizes exactly why the West needs to stay strong. Alketbi’s article, which actually supports banning Qur’an desecrations, is entitled Quran-burnings can fuel Islamic extremism, terrorism. It points out how insulting “Islamic sensibilities” causes “extremism” and fuels terrorism. It supports the bad idea that free societies should surrender their sovereignty in the face of barbaric behavior, and give those who are issuing threats what they want in order to end those threats and the ensuing violence. Has a strategy of appeasement worked for Israel? Will surrendering to the demands of the Palestinian Authority, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and their foot soldiers work? Would Alketbi also expect Israel to return to the pre-1967 borders (a.k.a. the “Auschwitz borders”)? He likely would. Alketbi is essentially demanding that civilized Westerners refrain from hurting Muslim sensibilities on demand.
Muslim sensibilities = Islamic hysteria!
Criticizing Islam also hurts Muslim sensibilities. It follows that anything regarded as “Islamophobic” should be stopped. Such absurd demands are what gave rise to Qur’an desecrations in the first place. It was the “Islamophobia” subterfuge that led to the current threats to the freedom of expression in the first place. “Islamophobia” was nothing more than an OIC-backed stratagem employed to subvert the West, and slowly bring Western countries into line with Sharia blasphemy tenets.
Changing Western laws to appease Muslims sends the message to them that the more violent Muslims become, the more Western states will kowtow to them. It follows also that the more threatening and punitive the OIC becomes, the more Western nations will be expected to appease.
Time Magazine points out:
On the one hand, there are good reasons to be critical of book burnings. It is a poor substitute for reasoned debate and one that will forever be associated with totalitarian states, such as Nazi Germany, in our collective history. But however noxious the ideas of the far-right protestors who torch Qurans, they are not state agents, they are not speaking for the government, nor do they have the power to censor or discriminate. They are private individuals whose non-violent symbolic expressions are intended to convey a message, which however, offensive to those who disprove, is part and parcel of free expression.
There is no possibility of reasoned debate on the Quran with Islam. The mere idea would result in hysteria.
Indeed, the West allows freedoms to flourish, freedoms which include “offense.” Such freedom is not permitted under Sharia. Dissidents who cause offense to Islam in Sharia states face lashing, imprisonment, or even death. The West, however, is now caving to the most obscene bullying from Sharia-driving OIC thugs:
On July 30, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen announced that the government will seek to enact legislation for “special situations where other countries, cultures, and religions could be insulted, potentially resulting in significant negative consequences for Denmark.” Sweden is mulling over similar actions. These capitulations have forced these countries to debate how far they are willing to go to defend their freedoms in the face of violence and international backlash.
Both country’s leaders are now enacting open-ended laws, dividing their nations as they bow to Islam and trample upon the rights of their citizens. The death knell of freedom is now sounding in Sweden and Denmark, which are facing a new dawn of Sharia.
Congressmen Call for Investigation of Iranian Control of US Mosques

Republican congressmen have sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines requesting they investigate four Shi’a mosques in the United States as "a network of regime-sponsored mosques acting as agents for a foreign adversary."
The three-page letter includes documentation of the mosques’ funding from organizations controlled by Iran, examples of the hatred preached in these mosques toward anyone who disagrees with the Iranian regime, and the glorification of the Ayatollah’s regime through songs and shrines.
The mosques discussed in the letter include Islamic Education Center (IEC) in Potomac, Md., the Islamic Education Center (IEC) in Houston, Tx., the Islamic House of Wisdom (IHW) in Dearborn Heights, Mi., and the Manassas Mosque in Manassas, Va.

India: 25 Rohingya Muslim ‘refugees’ arrested for Nuh violence,
involved in other crimes also
AUG 11, 2023 11:00 AM BY ASHLYN DAVIS
Investigating the Nuh Muslim riots and violence against Hindus, the police have arrested 25 Rohingya Muslims with refugee status and are examining their documents. The preliminary investigations revealed that these Muslim refugees possessed United Nations-issued refugee cards. There are 16,000 UNHCR-certified Rohingya refugees and an unknown number of Rohingya illegals who have crossed the porous India-Myanmar and India-Bangladesh borders and currently live in various states of India. As many as 2000 have been staying in Haryana’s Nuh.
Addressing the media, the Superintendent of Police in Nuh, Narender Bijarniya, also emphasized that not only were they involved in anti-Hindu violence, but the Rohingya refugees had also illegally occupied lands in the region. Some have been identified as part of the Muslim mob that attacked Hindus in the violence on July 31 and participated in stone-throwing. Apart from these attacks on the Hindu procession, these immigrants are also involved in various crimes in the region.
As the world’s most populous country, India is already burdened with massive numbers of people, and was in no way ready to support the Rohingya refugees or illegals. The rapid population growth of the Rohingyas is another major headache for the host countries they have been forced into, whether it’s India or Bangladesh. Some 60,000 Rohingya babies were estimated to be born in refugee camps in 2019; as per the latest UN reports, an average of 60 babies are born in these camps every day.
But in 2012, Muslims in India organized a rally which soon became a massive riot in Mumbai’s Azad Maidan for accommodating the Rohingya Muslims in India. Violence was also reported in Assam during that time. Muslim rioters also desecrated the revered Amar Jawan Jyoti memorial, a war memorial dedicated to the fighters of the first Indian freedom struggle. After photos of this vandalism went viral, Mumbai police arrested Abdul Qadir as the accused ringleader of the rioting.
Not only violent Muslims tried to ease the way for their fellow Muslims from other countries to enter India; also, noted and celebrated Muslim personalities including poets, members of the intelligentsia, Bollywood stars, and politicians spoke out for the Rohingyas, without considering if India was ready to support such an immense migration, which would only add to the economic burden of the country, have a negative impact upon its social structure, and upset the balance of the demography. It wouldn’t be incorrect to state that the apologists of Islam were eyeing this as a golden opportunity to add to the ever-expanding Muslim population in India. And so it happened. After the United Nations forced thousands of Rohingyas into Indian territory as refugees, hundreds of thousands of Rohingyas entered illegally. They were almost instantly involved in all manner of criminal activities throughout the length and breadth of the country.
Twelve out of thirteen of the cattle smugglers who were arrested by Punjab police earlier this month are reportedly illegal Rohingya Muslims who entered the state from West Bengal. As per reports, they wore tilak and saffron stoles in order to fake Hindu identities. Despite knowing that cow slaughter is criminalized in the state, these anti-socials commit such crimes so as to destabilize the society and trigger unrest and communal clashes.
Time and again, Rohingyas have been found to have links with international Islamic terror modules. Zakir Musa, the head of an al-Qaeda’s offshoot, Ansar Gazawat-ul-Hind, in Kashmir, once expressed solidarity with Rohingyas. In a ten-minute audio clip, Musa warned the Indian government against deporting Rohingyas from India.
There has been an alarming infiltration by Rohingyas in the northeast as well. The state police of Tripura revealed through their official Twitter account that they had arrested 354 illegal immigrants, including Rohingyas and border touts and facilitators. The Indian parliament is currently embroiled in a discussion of the recent Manipur crisis, and the Manipur High Court bar association has informed the Supreme Court that the massive infiltration of Rohingyas is the main reason behind the violence in the northeastern state. Senior advocate Ranjit Kumar also handed over a copy of an official document purportedly indicating how this large-scale illegal migration into Manipur’s hill districts has led to a constant crisis.
There have been reports of illegal Rohingyas throwing stones at police forces, injuring several officials in Jammu and Kashmir in June of this year. Forging Indian identification cards and aiding other illegals enter India is an everyday activity for them. Some were also caught in human trafficking and selling girls into the sex trade. Under the benign gaze of the Muslim-pandering political parties that are in power, the demographic change introduced by the settlement of Rohingya infiltrators in the national capital has resulted in immense distress for Hindus.
Daily harassment of Hindus, the sexual targeting of girls, petty crime, and illegal encroachments have forced Hindus to pack their bags and leave. And as if that were not enough, these illegals have begun to object to Hindu citizens celebrating their festivals. Muslim women, allegedly identified as Rohingya illegals, have gone on record claiming that they will not tolerate Hindu religious chants in their area.
In conclusion, we can only debate the highly misleading and dubious statement made by the UN, dubbing the Rohingyas as victims of ethnic cleansing. As one reviews the extended record of crimes and antisocial activities by Rohingya in India and Bangladesh, one is compelled to wonder if the Rohingyas were in danger, or actually are the danger that is ahead for the Indian subcontinent.
