Billion Of Tax Dollars To Terrorist Groups! Your Fired!

James Kaufman, World News Report Today, February 27th, 2025. God bless you and yours, no matter where you are in the world. Please subscribe, give us a thumbs up, and ring that bell for critical future updates. Ladies and gentlemen, of course, Congress has been going over Dodge's work in a subcommittee. And these are some of the things that slipped right by our purse string, i.e. Congress, that Dodge caught. It's pretty hard to believe when you actually hear the numbers and where the money went. To the Taliban? Yes, sir. Can you name other instances of foreign aid going to terrorist organizations? We have assisted al-Shabaab in Somalia. There's been instances of the Hamzi Network in Sudan, Hamas. 40 million in financial aid to support the Taliban every week is where that started. Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Khatibah Hezbollah, Hayat al-Khudr al-Shams in Syria, dozens of terror organizations have received indirect assistance from U.S. foreign aid. Could you elaborate a little bit on the mechanisms in place there to stop foreign aid from going to terrorist groups, and why are they not working if we have any in place? And I wouldn't know what these are. You notice these are terrorist weaponry. You see some AKs, SKSs, snipers, and clips. Some clip carriers probably made in China, and I believe these are small landmines here at the side right there. Let's use Gaza as our case study. $2.1 billion in American taxpayers' money to Gaza since October 7th when Hamas invaded southern Israel. USAID money was going in terms of an emergency use authorization to try to get parties that USAID formerly had a relationship with in the Gaza Strip. They had to have been vetted by OFAC. They should have been vetted against the special designated terrorists from the State Department and other Treasury organizations. Waivers were granted. Because they said that there was an emergency use to have that money come in to Gaza, thereby jettisoning the usual typical screening procedures. As a result, 90% of aid that was going from the United States by way of its agents in Gaza ended up in Hamas-controlled areas. This is ridiculous. And what the U.S. assistance to Gaza did was underwrite the ability for Hamas to survive until the ceasefire which just passed a few weeks ago. There was no strategic thought for it, and there was no screening. It seemed like the emergency might have been armed terrorists to kill civilians. Would that be accurate? That's accurate, and even more than that, Samantha Powers, the administrator for USAID, is going to not be able to defend itself. To not be able to defend itself. Correct. It's mine, right? So don't worry about it. What is it, Pramorak? Terrorist Explorer. We have a lot of our... Can you put your mic up? I'm sorry. Can you hear me? Yes, sir. You have international NGOs and UN agencies actively lobbying here in Washington, D.C. against vetting policies that would prevent it. I was the senior vetting officer at USAID. Did you say the United Nations is doing this? Sure, everybody who's getting money lobbies here. They're lobbying against us. I'm sorry, Mr. Roman, you're... There's actually someone who used to work for one of those lobbies, the largest NGO lobby, Interaction. One of our co-witnesses here worked for them from 2018 to 2023. USAID effectively self-funds its own external private lobby that then goes back to Congress and asks for more money for USAID. So the taxpayers fund this lobbyist who's working against American interests, possibly killing our allies. Do you think USAID programs have been aligned with the national security interests of the U.S.? No, they have not. They have actually helped China. These programs compromise our national security, Mr. Prime Minister. They actually push China, they actually push much of the world towards China on the green energy agenda. They push people, ordinary people, billions of people towards China because of the resentment caused by our social re-engineering. Are we being lobbied by these pro-communist China groups currently? A lot of these countries don't even have to lobby because they get the money anyway, like South Africa. And in fact, these lobbyists have come to the House and they've tried to kill legislation like H.R. 160, which was meant to increase transparency in U.S. entities funding of overseas organizations. Is that a current piece of legislation? That's from the last session. And give me that number again. H.R. 160. And what does it do? It was meant to give U.S. lawmakers the ability to have higher transparency in terror financing investigations and in scrutinizing extremist groups. Mr. President. We had a regulation before we left in the last administration that anybody who touches money in countries where there's terrorists, those things have to go through databases, terrorist databases. That was overturned by Biden. Chair Lady, I currently have five seconds, but I want to mention something. There's a lot of rhetoric used on this committee, and I would, both sides of the aisle, let's stick to the actual information. This rhetoric is, I've received death threats, and I know the chairlady has, and it needs to stop. We need to tone it down. Thank you, chairlady. And now for the good news. And now for the good part. USAID workers have finally left the building after decades of laundering our tax money and nefarious activities through NGOs. And here they go. We're talking about tens of thousands of them over the last few days. This one's smiling. Couldn't run a lemonade stand. I can't imagine we're paying a severance. God bless you and yours. Please share and subscribe. And always remember that anything's possible in the Bizarro World.
