This is criminal behavior.
Under Biden, the State Department has done everything possible to cover up its actions in Afghanistan. I have been writing about the ongoing struggle between State and the Afghanistan watchdog (SIGAR).
In June, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction’s office (SIGAR), dispatched letters to Secretary of State Blinken and Samantha Power complaining that the State Department and USAID were stonewalling its investigation of waste, corruption, and terror cash.
“Two SIGAR audits are also being hindered by a lack of cooperation from State and USAID. The first evaluates your agencies’ compliance with the laws and regulations prohibiting transfers of funds to members of the Taliban and the Haqqani Network,” the letter to Power complained.
At one point State was actively forbidding employees from cooperating with SIGAR while trying to close down the Afghanistan war watchdog. When that failed, State is just destroying documents, as SIGAR reveals in its latest report. (via Adam Kredo at Free Beacon.)
The Biden administration doesn’t know if millions of dollars in taxpayer funds sent to Afghanistan are falling into the Taliban’s hands because its terrorism vetting files are incomplete—or, in some instances, destroyed—a government audit found.
The State Department “initially refused to cooperate with this audit and destroyed the [Risk Analysis Management] vetting documents for unselected implementing partners in accordance with its records retention policy before we could examine them.”
The watchdog group ultimately determined that State’s DRL and INL bureaus “did not comply with federal document retention requirements because supporting documentation to demonstrate their compliance with State partner vetting requirements was missing from the bureaus’ award files.”
The State Department also “acknowledged that not all bureaus complied with document retention requirements” and that there are “gaps in compliance with federal and internal document retention requirements.”
DRL, for instance, was only able to produce proper vetting documents for “three of its seven awards, while the partner vetting documentation for four of its awards were missing from its contracting files,” according to the investigation.
This is criminal behavior that is not being treated as such and it’s being done to cover up even worse crimes. We know that under Biden, State continues directing massive amounts of money into terrorist territories, including over $2 billion into Afghanistan, while handing out special licenses to the nonprofits it funnels money through to deal with Islamic terrorists. And this will eventually get Americans killed.

Yet another department to be massively defunded and more importantly de loused of its traitors and commies.

The State Department along with Homeland Security (DHS.gov) allowed in 100,000 Afghan refugees in 2021 that were unvetted and unvaccinated. Meanwhile our soldiers were required to be vaccinated when there was evidence that they were getting sick. In fact, remember that our US soldiers were told they either get the Covid vax or they would be thrown out of the military on a dishonorable discharge.
Also, we were told that those 100,000 Afghan refugees were allies, yet they were unable to speak English.
In addition, the State Department with Homeland Security is and has brought in more and continues to bring in more! Go to: DHS.gov, then go to IN FOCUS, and then Operation Allies Welcome. Then make sure to see the dropdown boxes of the benefits and programs that they are being given. I’ll leave it up to you to decide if these are allies from the Afghan war. If so, why has everything been hidden from us? Also, why was the media not allowed to report on anything that’s been done to date? There was only one report about an Afghan man who said that they young girl he had with him was his daughter, yet it was found out the girl was his bride and that she was taken from her family. I can’t verify that report and it was in 2021.
One last thing. In March or April 2024, there was a report out that some of the Afghan refugees were not who they claimed they were and were supposed to be deported, but that DHS didn’t do it. ONE THING that is obvious is when reading what the State Department and Homeland Security says on their sites, there always seems to be information that are either missing which appears to be intentional.
This administration HAS been COMPROMISED along with most, if not all of our government agencies. Just look at who Biden appointed to important positions throughout the US. Then look them up!!

The other place that illegal things are happening is USCIS.gov. (US Citizenship and Immigration Services).
There are many things that must be investigated there! Biden is bypassing Congress and too many things to list here. Do they have any oversight group watching them?

dark force at play, no coincidence the admin is fuelling conflicts
