Over two decades the United States and its international partners poured billions in humanitarian aid into Afghanistan. Much of that aid went into the pockets of the Taliban.

After Biden’s retreat, the Taliban have consolidated control over Afghanistan. And over all the hungry children, the girls deprived of an education, and all the other sob stories that kept a river of private charity and taxpayer money flowing into a hellhole in which nothing ever got better.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

At an aid conference hosted by the UN, the UK, Germany and the Islamic terror state of Qatar, which backs the Taliban, $2.4 billion was raised for Afghanistan. The hosts had demanded over $4.4 billion which would have been the largest amount ever raised for any nation.

The Biden administration kicked in another $204 million.

That’s on top of the $782 million in “humanitarian aid” allocated to Afghanistan last year since the Taliban took over. This year, Biden signed an executive order allocating $3.5 billion of the Afghan assets held in the Federal Reserve for the same purpose. But even not counting those funds, Biden has dedicated $986 million to Afghanistan since the Taliban took over.

That’s nearly $1 billion in taxpayer money and nearly $4.5 billion in total funds.

Attorney General William Barr undercut President Donald Trump’s election conspiracy theories Monday, saying he would not appoint special counsels to investigate allegations of election fraud or Hunter Biden because there is no need.

Ayn Rand’s prescient vision of the Communist takeover of the United States continues. The crops rotted because the powers that be decided to redirect rail traffic for their own personal profit. Whether you have read Atlas Shrugged or not, today is a good day to start reading.

Ruble Nears Two-Month High, Sparks Doubt Over ‘Synthetic’ Rally

The ruble rallied for a third day to approach the highest in more than two months, evoking skepticism from currency strategists who say the market is broken because of capital controls, forced dollar sales and ultra-thin volumes. Russia’s currency jumped as much as 7.3% on Thursday, sealing its rebound from a collapse that followed the nation’s invasion of Ukraine and sanctions that isolated it from the global financial system. A key driver of the latest gains is the continued demand for Russia’s oil and gas in Europe and elsewhere, handing the country almost $1 billion a day in revenue.

Every day that the ruble increases, is another day that gold increases since Putin pegged the value of gold to the Russian ruble. But gold is composed of two elements: physical gold and paper gold. How long before paper gold becomes as worthless as the US dollar? It seems that we are very close to finding out.

Sadly, as the world has heard in many speeches by the US president, he hasn’t got a clue that his “empire” is collapsing around him.

But regrettably for Biden, the US isn’t an empire at all but a bankrupt nation without leadership. But even worse, the US has just in a final act of desperation not just shot itself in the foot but in the head.

CONSEQUENCES

Very few, if any, of today’s world leaders understand the consequences of their actions and clearly not Biden.

As the world is experiencing the end of an economic era, we are getting the leaders that we deserve and thus the appropriate ones to take the world to Armageddon.

So the world is now entering the final battle, a battle with totally incompetent heads of state which will lead to everyone losing.

The route to Armageddon will be disastrous for the world. Distressed leaders will take calamitous actions, exacerbating not only their own country’s problem, but also the rest of the world’s.

And that is exactly what we are seeing now with the worst possible concoction of debt deficits, currency debasement and decadence. The consequences were of course always predictable based on history. But no leader in the current era is a real student of history. And that is why the world is in such a mess.

Anyone espousing facts is considered a threat to the globalists’ new world order. Regular people do not want to face reality and label the facts as “doom porn”. Marginalizing the truth is not an effective strategy as we watch the world devolve into wars, economic chaos, famine and health tyranny.

This is not another article to preach to the choir. Although no man knows the date and the time, we know that the times that we have been warning about and preparing are now here. May God have mercy on those responsible for leading our country into armageddon (little “a”) for their temporal glory for I believe those of us in the “choir” will not.

There Is Still Hope

Dear Editor,

I’m writing to you about how I feel about the second amendment. I feel that it is still needed to protect the people from a tyrannical government or the people in society that wish to bring harm to other people. The situation in Ukraine is a good example of why countries around the world need to embrace the right to bear arms. I also believe that explosives should still be illegal, but automatic firearms should be legal because the recoil is bad enough that when you shoot it is hard to put every round into the area you are aiming at.

There is still hope.

There is a lot of youth that are pro second amendment.

Thank you for your time.

I was surprised that they did not discuss pegging the ruble to gold. The United States cannot afford to lose its reserve currency status but without WWIII, the future of the Western economies will fall. Putin is not Gaddafi.

Get ready for another round of the media telling you why John Durham’s investigation doesn’t matter. After all this, isn’t this just a case of lying to a federal agent? The Times, Washington Post, CNN, et al. will rush in to say it’s nothing.

Russiagate is a political smear of Nixonian proportions — worse because it used the government itself to throw the mud. There’s a great story here. If Hunter Biden is any indication, the rest of the media will get around to telling it in about three years.
