The US State Department needs to be disbanded and all overseas embassies should be converted to ATM-style kiosks.
The Taliban has just received 239 million debt-bucks in US State Department aid.
239 millions dollars.
The disaster in Afghanistan continues to cascade forward and is now underwritten by unborn taxpayers.
The government watchdog, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), issued a July 2024 report identifying at least 29 grants where the Taliban may have erroneously received counterterrorism funds.
But the funds have already been distributed despite violating the standards for release.
However, we analyzed DRL’s vetting documentation and found that it only provided us with supporting vetting
documentation for three of its seven awards. The four awards missing documentation were missing other types
of supporting vetting documentation in addition to the missing risk assessments, such as final eligibility
notices. This means that even if DRL had provided us with the missing risk assessments, the four awards
would still be missing other supporting documentation.
