The horrific October 7 attacks in Israel, which claimed thousands of lives, weren’t random acts of terror—they were carefully planned and trained for in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. Even more troubling? A report by Sarah Adams and her investigative team suggests that U.S. taxpayer funds, sent under the guise of “humanitarian aid,” may have indirectly supported the camps that trained the attackers.
U.S. Funds Flowing to the Taliban
After the Biden administration’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, the Taliban regained full control of the country. Instead of cutting ties, the U.S. continued sending massive amounts of money—between $40 million and $80 million per week, adding up to an estimated $2 billion to $4 billion annually. While the administration claims this funding was for humanitarian purposes, the Taliban has reportedly funneled a significant portion into supporting terrorist activities, including training camps.
A Grim Parallel to 9/11
It’s worth remembering why the U.S. invaded Afghanistan in the first place: the Taliban was harboring Al-Qaeda, allowing them to train terrorists who would eventually carry out the 9/11 attacks. Fast forward two decades, and history seems to be repeating itself. Al-Qaeda is once again operating freely in Afghanistan, with Taliban support, and they’re using the country as a base to plan large-scale attacks.
October 7 Was Just the Beginning
According to Adams’ report, the October 7 attacks were a “test run” for even bigger operations. Al-Qaeda, backed by the Taliban, trained thousands of fighters for follow-up attacks targeting the United States and Europe. These coordinated plots are reportedly already in motion, and the attackers may even be within U.S. borders.
Where Is the Accountability?
Here’s the kicker: the very funds meant to help rebuild Afghanistan may now be fueling terror networks. It’s a slap in the face to Americans who thought they were funding humanitarian efforts, only to discover that their money could be enabling the next wave of terror.
What Needs to Happen
The U.S. must immediately stop all aid to Afghanistan while the Taliban remains in power. It’s also time to hold the Biden administration accountable for allowing billions of dollars to flow to a regime openly supporting terror. If we don’t act now, the consequences could be devastating—not just for our allies, but for Americans at home.
What are your thoughts? How can you prepare you and your family for the potential of follow-on attacks in the US?
