#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Well, first of all, thank you very much for having me. You're welcome. It's an honor to be here on your show again with Lieutenant Colonel Mann and Miss Adams. I brought you a gift.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
This is a great gift. Thank you. And I thank Eric Prince as well. I recently met him somewhere in the East Coast. He's a very smart man.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Great guy. Great guy, gentleman, and very smart man. But thank you very much. My pleasure.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
I would like to, if you let me, go back to your first question about Syria. I don't follow Syria a lot. I'm mostly focused on Afghanistan, but it's all connected. And so what I've been hearing is that there are Taliban fighters in Syria. There are Taliban members that supported al-Jolani during his takeover of Syria just a few months ago.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And that there are Taliban fighters in Syria right now, currently at the moment. So that is one. Two, the second thing I've heard is that they're killing a lot of religious minorities and many, many Christians. They're being slaughtered on a daily basis. Al-Jolani, I'm not too familiar with him, but I've read some.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And based on the intelligence that I've seen from that part of the world, Al-Jolani is a terrorist. He was a terrorist. He was a jihadi, and he's still a jihadi. The only thing is he has dropped his turban and worn a suit and a necktie, but he's still a terrorist. And so what is really disturbing is the fact that the U.S. State Department dropped $10 million bounty on his head.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And all of a sudden, the Justice Rewards Program, State Department website, completely just the page that showed the bounty on him completely disappeared in a matter of minutes. So he was a terrorist on Monday, Monday evening. He was no longer a terrorist. Now he's a state official and he's traveling everywhere. And under his command, his army is actually slaughtering Christians.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
They're slaughtering Muslims and other religious minorities in Syria.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
No. They are killing lots of Christians right now. And this is unfortunately something if unless the U.S. President Trump takes action, this is something that will continue very rapidly. Remember, Al-Jolani was a member of ISIS. You saw what ISIS did to Christians, the Christian minority community in Iraq. What did they do? They slaughtered them. They beheaded them. They executed them.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Dumped their bodies in the river. They're doing the same thing in Syria right now.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And they take the women as slaves, as sex slaves. So this is something that President Trump can, this is unfortunately the Jolani's reward. His status as terrorist was removed by Mr. Joe Biden, the last administration during, that's one of the final things they did. And so now we have a new administration. I wish President Trump reimposes those, relists him as a terrorist, which he is.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And so once a jihadi, you're always a jihadi. You don't change overnight. That man is killing Christians. He is killing other religious minorities. And my fear is that this is going to worsen. It's going to increase, especially now that he has Taliban members with them and he's getting support from the leadership of the Taliban.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Look, Sean.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Brother, let me tell you this. I was telling this earlier. If we look at this as, hey, all Muslims are terrorists, you have 1.6 billion Muslims in the world. If they were terrorists, you would see it. You would see the problem. That's not the case. These individuals, they, and I'm not saying at the same time that there is not a terrorism problem in Islam. There is.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And it's unfortunately true and it's happening in Muslim countries are not taking the lead, taking action against it. Why is it that America should be the one to go and fix all of this stuff? Why isn't Saudi Arabia taking action? Or Qatar? Or UAE? I'll go back to the European stuff. The immigration. Europe has an open border policy. They allow everyone and anyone in. They don't vet.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And then all of a sudden you see stabbings. I recently saw that some, unfortunately, an Afghan immigrant stabbed, I think, a four-year-old child and his parent. And then when the cops arrested him, he was just laughing.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
You will see that laughter in America, here, in our own communities, unless that border is closed, the southern border, and unless you start vetting, unless you start paying attention to who you are allowing into this country. Europe opened its borders, all of these migrants came in, and now they're dealing with it.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Can I add something?
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Look, 9-11 hijackers, right? Those 19 attackers and their supporters entered the U.S. legally. The State Department gave them visas. Nasser Ahmad Tawhidi in Oklahoma, who wanted to kill Americans on Election Day last year, and he was apprehended. He was evacuated from Afghanistan by who? By the agency, by the U.S. government. The open borders.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
The US government keeps the southern border open or for whatever reason, they kept that border open for four years. And we know for a fact that jihadists who want to kill Americans in the name of Islam entered the United States. These criminal organizations, these terrorists, they have hijacked Islam and Islamic symbols. They're not Muslim. They want to kill Americans in the name of Islam.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And the U.S. government allows it. They allow these people to enter the country. And in the case of 9-11, like I said, they even gave them visas. Now look, I am an American Muslim. I've been warning the US government, the resistance that is fighting the terrorists on the ground for the past four years, they have been warning that these terrorists will attack you again. They're in your communities.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
The US government ignores me. The US government ignores Colonel Mann, Sarah Adams, the resistance, everyone. And then sadly, God forbid, the next terrorist attack will occur. as it did on 9-11. Then what happens? It's the same politicians in D.C. that ignore us now that will turn around and say, all Muslims are terrorists. This is something we need to take care of right away.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Well, I can go first. Well, the resistance is still fighting. The Taliban, Al-Qaeda, ISIS, ISKP, and the rest of the terrorist organizations that are there. The intelligence networks that America helped build in Afghanistan, they're still operational. I'm not talking about the GDI, the Taliban. I'm talking about the ones that are under the control of the resistance.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Correct. General Directorate of Intelligence. The head of GDI is Abdelhaq Wasik, a man who was a prisoner at Guantanamo Bay. and America released him, and now he's leading Taliban's intelligence. And so there is other intelligence networks operational in Afghanistan. The most active ones are led by President Saleh, Amrullah Saleh. He runs an organization called Afghanistan Green Trend.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And there are many other intelligent networks, but by far the ones most reliable intelligence that I've seen comes from AGT. which is Afghanistan green trend. What I've heard and what I've seen, the documents that I've seen shows that pertaining to America, that there are over a thousand Taliban and ISKP operatives in the United States.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And this 1,000 are not the individuals that were emboldened after the United States abandoned Afghanistan and withdrew. These are not the individuals in the Afghan American community, in the diaspora, or those we brought in, 120,000 that were evacuated. They're not members of those communities who are now sympathetic towards the Taliban.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
The thousand or so that I mentioned, these are deep cover operatives that report to Sirajuddin al-Qani and then the leadership of the Taliban and ISKP.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
There are several resistance fronts. You met Commander Ahmad Massoud, the leader of the National Resistance Front. There's also President Amrullah Saleh, who's leading Afghanistan Green Trend.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
President Saleh?
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Of course, yes. Well, the man needs no introduction, but I will... I'll do my best. He has been fighting in the resistance one way or another since I think he was 15 or 16 from what I've seen.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
He did liaison, intelligence liaison work under the leadership of Commander Ahmad Shah Massoud, who used to lead, who led the resistance against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and then also then against the Taliban and Al-Qaeda. President, Mr. Saleh at that point did liaison work. For him, he led intelligence.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And then after the United States went into Afghanistan in 2001, he became the head of Afghanistan's intelligence, the National Directorate of Security. So that's the Afghan version of the Central Intelligence Agency. Correct. America helped build it in Afghanistan. The head of that intelligence unit, NDS, was Mr. Saleh. He literally built that unit. And yes, in Afghanistan.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
I don't think there's any American intelligence official that is unfamiliar with Mr. Saleh. He was, and I believe he still is, our ally. And so after that, He became the Minister of Interior in Afghanistan.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And then after that, he started AGT in 2011, which is Afghanistan Green Trend, which is one of the main political parties in Afghanistan, grassroots movement, had millions of members inside Afghanistan. In, I believe it was 2019, Mr. Saleh won the elections and became the first vice president of Afghanistan under the Ghani administration.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Ashraf Ghani was the president, Mr. Saleh was his vice president. And so on August 15, 2021, when Mr. Ghani, the former president, fled Afghanistan to Dubai, and abandoned everything, Mr. Saleh, Vice President Saleh, did not flee Afghanistan. He instead went to Panjshir Valley, which was the only province that had not fallen to the Taliban.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And he declared a national resistance against the Taliban. And because Mr. Ghani had fled, according to Article 60 and 67 of the Constitution of Afghanistan, Mr. Saleh became the acting president of Afghanistan. Mr. Saleh, President Saleh now, his time in office ended in July of 2024, just a few months ago. And so he being a spy, I think spies never quit.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And so he went back to his, just like Sarah Adams doesn't quit, spies don't quit. He went back to leading intelligence in Afghanistan and his network is operational in Afghanistan. And I don't think anyone has as much sources under his control, as much as Saleh in that region.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Correct. He runs, he's correct. Yes. Yes.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Sean, it's not even only the intelligence, the U.S. intelligence that deals with the Taliban. It's even the State Department. Take, for example, Ms. Karen Decker, Ambassador Karen Decker, U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan. She was appointed by the previous administration, by Mr. Joe Biden. She's still the U.S. ambassador under the Trump administration.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Ambassador Karen Decker is literally acting as the unofficial first lady of the Taliban. She's in direct communication with every Taliban governor all over Afghanistan. She has denounced unarmed resistance against the Taliban, against ISKP and Al-Qaeda. She has not met with leadership of the resistance. She does not even speak with the resistance. She has denounced the resistance.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
So diplomatically, we're dealing with the Taliban as well, not we, these folks, these certain individuals within the US government are very, I don't know how to say it. They do not want to deal with the resistance. They only want to deal with the Taliban.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Whenever the resistance, the anti-Taliban resistance hosts events, political, diplomatic events, conferences in order to unite the Afghan communities in this war against the Taliban, whenever they meet up in Vienna or Dushanbe or anywhere else, The State Department, under the leadership of Ambassador Karen Decker, dispatches individuals and says to the host countries to not allow it to happen.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Wow.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Do you think Taliban are professionals and technocrats? Do I think they're what? Professionals and technocrats? They are now. Well, Ambassador Thomas West believes Taliban are professionals and sincere and technocrats.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
You know, I got a question. Let's say the secretary, right, of ICE, Homeland Security, they locate this one individual. Say he's Afghan.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And they suspect he's a terrorist. Who do they corroborate that information with? They call the Taliban and say, hey, do you know Mr. Abdullah that is here? And if that person is one of those deep cover Taliban operatives or ISKP operatives, do you think the Taliban will admit to it?
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Here's another problem that, I mean, we have this terrorism problem, the ones that are already in the United States and the ones that the administration is arresting and deporting right now. We have that. At the same time, no one is discussing the fact that there are new ones coming to Europe, to America. I mean, Sirajuddin Haqqani, He needs no introduction. He's a wanted terrorist.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
He's the man issuing passports, Afghan passports and travel documents. Seven million Afghan passports were printed in Europe after 2021 and shipped to Afghanistan.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Seven million with the permission granted by the United States State Department. We are still giving, they're probably going to print a million more passports this year, more than a million. The permission to whether print or not comes from the United States State Department. They're granting permissions. We all know where the passports go.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Because Afghanistan cannot produce its own passport booklets, just like it cannot produce its own currency.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Yes, killed over a thousand American service members in Afghanistan. It's still wanted by the FBI and the State Department. In fact, I don't think the State Department, because Ambassador Karen Decker was recently on an episode, Afghan news show, Amu TV. My friend, Sami Mahdi, he asked her, he said, is Rajatine Haqqani still a terrorist? Is the State Department still looking for him?
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
She says she cannot answer these questions. She refuses to call Haqqani a wanted terrorist.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Let's say that... I don't believe this, but let's assume for a second that the Taliban will remain a proxy of the United States and the United States will continue to work with them. Well, as the sole superpower of the world, shouldn't the United States government have a plan B and plan C, collect from multiple sources? You know, the resistance is that alternative.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And knowing the leadership of multiple resistance fronts, I can tell you that there is zero connections. They're not communicating.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Well, first of all, thank you very much for taking that initiative. I'm telling you, Sean, without you and your supporters who made calls and wrote letters to Congress, we would not have had this much movement. This would not have gotten anywhere because, you know, initially they denied sending money to the Taliban and they attacked us. They said, you were lying.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And then this continued all the way until Secretary, the former Secretary of State, Mr. Blinken, was testifying and he finally admitted that, yes, we gave a few million dollars to the Taliban, right? And then, anyways. I mean, it's been everywhere.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Oh, at this point, there is no denying it. There's no denying it. Everyone admits, even President Trump said, yes, the money does end up going to the Taliban and is going to the Taliban. I brought it up in his interview.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
I have so much to thank you for. And officially, on behalf of the entire resistance, on behalf of President Saleh, Commander Massoud, let me thank you once again for taking that cause. It means a lot. It's very troubling that U.S. taxpayer money goes to the very individuals who killed not only Afghans but American soldiers as well. The bill is H.R. 260, No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Congressman Tim Burchett, we could not have done this without him. He's an amazing human being. He's become a very good friend. I have to say this as well, his entire office have been professional and very helpful, whether it be his district office in Knoxville or DC office, John, Kelsey, Pruitt, everyone was super helpful. in this legislation.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
It is waiting for the Speaker of the House to put it on the House floor so members of Congress could vote on it. For some reason, it's being delayed, and I don't know why. No one knows why. The bill is ready. It's a great bill. It covers not only the fact that the money is going to the Taliban, but I'll add another thing.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Do you remember when Secretary Blinken was testifying and Congressman Tim Burchard asked him, you're giving money to the Taliban? He said, oh, no, we're not giving money to the Taliban. We're giving money to the NGOs. Well, he wasn't lying, but at the same time, he wasn't being truthful. He did not say that those NGOs are all Taliban fronts.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
that they give aid, they distribute, and that's a whole different story. Congressman Tim Birch's bill, this new bill that he has introduced, No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act, it includes the NGOs, it includes the Afghan fund that is being managed by Afghan Americans who are pro-Taliban and Taliban supporters, and it covers the 40 million. We need this bill to pass.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
All Speaker Johnson has to do is put it up for a vote on the House floor so members could vote on it.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
All I know is the bill is ready. It's a very good bill. And Senator Tim Sheehy also introduced a carbon copy of this bill at the Senate. So both bills are ready. It's just waiting for Senator John Thune and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson to put it up for a vote. And I hope they do.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
But a lot of members of Congress supported it. Congressman Eli Crane was very helpful. I was in D.C. with him not too long ago. He was very helpful. Chairwoman Marjorie Taylor Greene was very helpful. Anna Paulina Luna was helpful and a few others. But once again, I want to thank you and Congressman Tim Burchett for this initiative.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
A lot of things. Let me first tell you how the Taliban profit from this money. Feel at me. The money basically goes from the US, cash $40 million a week, to Sulaimaniya in Iraq. Cash is loaded on charter planes and it arrives at Kabul International Airport, which is under the control of Sirajuddin Haqqani.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
From there, a convoy arranged by Haqqani takes the $40 million, takes it to the Afghanistan International Bank, which is not a Taliban bank. It's just a normal bank. But they don't have the authorization to convert the U.S. dollars to Afghanis.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
So what AIB, Afghanistan International Bank, does is they give the money to the Taliban-controlled central bank of Afghanistan, which is like our Federal Reserve. The Central Bank of Afghanistan is currently managed and run by Nur Ahmad Ogo, a sanctioned terrorist who was sanctioned by the United States for financing bomb attacks against American soldiers, which killed many American soldiers.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
He's still sanctioned, and he gets $40 million at this point. He has monopoly over Afghanistan's money market rates. And so during the conversion, he invites members that are companies that are affiliated with the Al-Qa'ani Network and senior leadership of the Taliban, money exchangers. And they come and they all bid on who wants to buy each dollar and for how much.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And so the winners every week are individuals associated with the Haqqani Network. And because they control the money market, they basically take a cut right there. And then the Afghanis are given back to the Afghanistan International Bank, which then deposits the money into the bank accounts of these NGOs.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Now, there are about 2,500 or so Afghan NGOs and about 300 international NGOs, including American NGOs. Now, these Afghan ones, every last one of them, their licenses and permits to operate were given to them by the Taliban. And I've said this to you previously. If you go and you open an NGO in Afghanistan, the Taliban will not give you a license because you're anti-Taliban.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
So all of those NGOs are pro-Taliban, they're sympathetic towards the Taliban, and they get their licenses. Now, at this point, these NGOs, they have to order... Goods and services, right? So what they do is they, let's say 50% of the material that they need comes from abroad and 50% they purchase from Afghanistan. Rice, wheat, flour, oil, medicine.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
They can only purchase from a pre-approved, a list of vendors that are given to these NGOs by the Taliban. So the NGOs cannot buy from Mullah Sean Ryan's Afghan store. They can only buy from that particular store that is operated by the Taliban. Now, the other rest of the materials that they need usually comes from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Dubai, but you cannot buy those in Afghanis.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
You can only buy those in dollars. So these NGOs, they reconvert the money through the Central Bank of Afghanistan. And during the second conversion, the Taliban take another cut. Then the money is deposited to move to UAE, to Dubai. The bank that moves this money is called Azizi Bank. It's not even a bank. It's a Ponzi scheme. It's a bank that is managed by the Taliban.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Money arrives in Dubai, and then these NGOs order bulk, like several tons of rice and wheat and medicine, medical equipment, and they transfer those materials in bulk to Kabul International Airport. The company that brings these for these NGOs is Habib Yar Group. Habib Yar Group is owned partially by the brother of the current foreign minister of Taliban. And so he takes a cut.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
He charges for his services. The moment this material, the aid, lands at Kabul International Airport, the Taliban charge customs and taxes and fees. Right? So that's where they take another cut. And then the aid arrives at the offices of the NGOs, which then they distribute. Now, who do they distribute the aid to? To a list of hungry and poor Afghans. provided to the NGOs by the Taliban.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
So the list will have five poor and hungry Afghans, and then it will have 95 Taliban fighters, families of suicide bombers receive aid. This is all from U.S. tax dollars.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
You will see a lot of stuff coming out about this related to Afghanistan and USAID, Sean. See, in Bamiyan province, which does not have a lot of Taliban support historically, USAID would go and distribute the aid. You will see the logo of USAID all over. And Mr. Saleh exposed this. His intelligence exposed this.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
So these NGOs affiliated with USAID, they would distribute the aid to the people there alongside the leader of the Taliban, one of the commanders for Bamiyat province. And they would distribute the aid not in the name of the generosity of the American people or in the name of Joe Biden. They would distribute the aid in honor of Mullah Haibatullah. and the Taliban.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
In Panjshir, they're still doing that. In Panjshir province, which as you know, has zero Taliban. They are pro-resistance. They're sympathetic towards the resistance. What the Taliban does is they go with this NGO called Ansar, which operates in Panjshir province and Andarab province, Andarab Valley. They will go to this house and there's a lineup of Afghans and widows
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And they have envelopes with $200 cash per family, per poor family, and they will tell them, hey, Mr. Panjshiri, during the days of the republic, did those infidel republics that were puppets of America, did they ever come and give you aid? You know, unlike them, see, the leader of the Taliban loves you so much, he's giving you aid, he's sending you money. The U.S. aid, U.S.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
cash in Afghanistan is distributed in honor of Mullah Haibatullah, not in the name of the generosity of the American people. Even U.S. aid packages that go to Afghanistan, the U.S. flag is missing from it. See, in Latin America and Africa and elsewhere around the world, when U.S. aid is distributed, aid packages, there's always an American flag with a message from the American people.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
not in Taliban control of Afghanistan. They do not want people to know that this aid comes from the American people. They say this aid comes from Mullah Haibatullah.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And they were sending money. USAID was sending money to Afghanistan to teach women. I mean, I think they paid 60 million to teach Afghan women farming. The Taliban don't even allow Afghan women to leave their homes.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Under Operation Sentinel.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
They gave $11 million for the Taliban to register their broken arms.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
As we say, Sean, this particular, this has to be an act of Congress. This has to be no tax dollars for terrorist act, which I once again call on Congress. His Excellency Speaker Mike Johnson to put it up for a vote. Let members vote on it. This needs to stop. Okay.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
100%.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
While you guys were talking, you mentioned the video of the Taliban fighters who are on the range showing their tactics, showing off their tactics. A few things you should know about them, Sean. They were trained, most of them were trained by the U.S. Special Operations Community while we were there.

Some were evacuated to the United States by the Biden administration, and then they decided to go back. They decided to go back and join the Taliban. So some of those guys you see, they're the returnees. Some of them, they go, they get debriefed. They get briefed all over again by the Taliban, by Haqqani, and are sent back to the United States.

So don't think that that individual you see in the range is only in Afghanistan. No, they're going back and forth. There are Afghan Americans from California, from Tennessee, from Florida, from New Jersey, New York, that have went back and joined the Taliban. that are serving with the Taliban right now. And these folks go back and forth.

Can I say something, Sean? Sure. This was an amazing conversation, by the way. I was listening. But, you know, in 2025, Americans should not have to live in fear of IEDs and suicide bombings in America. And this is unfortunate, but it doesn't have to happen if everyone does their part. I mean, you guys are talking about how to protect these communities here. All the right things.

But everyone else needs to do their part as well. And what I mean by that is... There's no kind of hiding it anymore. These guys are claiming to do this in the name of Islam. I'm a Muslim, and I know for a fact that their actions have nothing to do with Islam. These guys have hijacked Islam and Islamic symbols, as I said earlier.

Why is Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Oman, Egypt, these Muslim majority countries, why are they not taking the lead and stopping these guys there? I mean, we're doing everything we can to try to stop it here, but these guys are killing Christians in the name of Islam. They're killing Jews in the name of Islam.

You know, Saudi Arabia, the crown prince there, Mohammed bin Salman, he has this project, this Vision 2030. Basically, he's trying to show this moderate face of Islam and to show that what these individuals, these groups are doing has nothing to do with Islam. But at the same time, he's not taking any action, and I hope he does, against Qatar when they give offices to Hamas, the Taliban.

UAE, you know, claims – UAE opened up a church in Dubai, and they claim they're so moderate. And I know the people in UAE are. But at the same time, you know, just opening up one church doesn't mean that everything is good and everything is fine.

UAE leadership is meeting with the leader of the Haqqani network. You know, this hypocrisy is being noticed. And these leaders are not going to get away with it unless they take action now. Again, all of these terrorist networks are doing this in the name of Islam. So if it is not, and I'm saying it's not, I'm speaking out against it. These leaders, and I'm not a leader of a Muslim country.

I'm an American Muslim. Those individuals are. They need to. And I hope Crown Prince Mohammed Salman takes action against all of his little neighbors.

And one other thing. In America, don't come and tell us, the Muslims here, that, no, these are good ones. Don't tell us that when we come and tell you these are terrorists who are killing in the name of Islam, but they have nothing to do with us. Don't tell us this is our culture. Don't tell us the Taliban are part of us and that's our culture. Treating women like cattle is part of our culture.

It's not that.

Yes. So this, thank you. This is part of a letter written by an Afghan commando, a general. His name is Khaled Amiri. He is leading the resistance in Afghanistan right now, since 2021. I'll read part of his letter. It says, the strength of any military force relies on six principles. leadership, discipline, institution building, technology and weaponry, strategy and support systems.

Taliban factions and militias are not only unfamiliar with these principles, but the equipment and weapon left behind by Afghan armed forces are inadequate to meet the group's long-term needs. At best, the Taliban remain an insurgent group lacking the capacity for institutional building and governance.

The armed struggle of Afghanistan's freedom fighters over the past three years and the significant casualties they have inflicted on Taliban militias demonstrate the group's vulnerability In military and intelligence terms, a powerful and united anti-Taliban front could bring the Taliban to their knees.

Taliban leaders and militias are unfamiliar with the diverse languages and cultures of Afghan society and will never gain national or popular legitimacy. The people of Afghanistan, both in cities and rural areas, view them as occupiers.

The populace is fed up with the repressive anti-woman and anti-freedom rule of the Taliban, and it will not be long before our people's uprising will drive them out of our land. This is written by General Khaled Amiri, and he is, as I said, leading the resistance against the Taliban. This is not, he's in the fight. He tells you that the Taliban are very much defeatable.
Shawn Ryan Show

President Saleh says the Taliban are very much defeatable. I hope somebody in the administration, in the new administration, listens to this letter that I just read and takes action. This is something that we can't solve. It will be a tragedy, a very sad tragedy if the guys that we trained in Afghanistan to fight terrorists, we end up fighting those guys here in America.
