Biden turned over $1 trillion worth of lithium to Islamic terrorists.
The Taliban recently announced that, “five countries are interested in investing in the lithium mining sector in Afghanistan’s Nuristan province.” A Chinese company has already put down a $10 billion bid that would include infrastructure along with improved roads for the terror group.
Shahabuddin Delawar, the Taliban’s mining boss, boasted that, “we have 2.5 million tons in Nurestan alone. Extract it, and Afghanistan can be one of the richest countries in the world.”
And who would be in charge of an estimated $50 billion worth of lithium?
Hafiz Muhammad Agha Hakeem, the governor of the Nuristan province, recently appeared on a UN Security Council list of Taliban governors who were affiliated with Al Qaeda. The Islamic terrorist group had a stronger foothold in the area than almost any other part of Afghanistan. When Al Qaeda had been driven out of the rest of Afghanistan, it stayed on and went on fighting and killing Americans in Nuristan, While the area was named after a non-Pashtun minority who had been forcibly converted to Islam, it became a Taliban and Al Qaeda route to Pakistan.
Al Qaeda will be in charge of its share of an estimated $1 trillion in lithium in the country (not to mention the gem mines). The lithium, desperately needed for electric car batteries, will be mined by Chinese companies and resold to the United States for “green energy”.
Every electric car you buy will help fund Al Qaeda.
‘Green energy’ requires massive amounts of lithium batteries. Even while Americans were being told that switching to electric cars and a renewable power grid would lessen our dependence on middle eastern oil and avoid shortages of ‘non-renewable’ oil, we were actually becoming dependent on a material dominated by our enemies in China and Afghanistan, and Tesla, the most popular brand of electric car, is a company with sizable Saudi shareholders.
‘Renewables’ depend on non-renewable lithium mined ruthlessly by China wherever they can. The United States could mine its own lithium, much like we could drill for our own oil and gas, but the Biden administration puts roadblocks in the way of our energy independence. Climate Envoy John Kerry insists that we’re better off buying Chinese solar panels made by slave labor than to mine, drill and become independent of Beijing and, now the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
The Pentagon’s Task Force for Business and Stability Operations had called Afghanistan the “Saudi Arabia of lithium.” Now it’s the Al Qaeda of lithium instead. After justifying buying slave labor solar panels and lithium mined by poisoning entire villages from China, the same arguments will be used to justify buying lithium batteries that Al Qaeda gets a cut from.
We have no choice but to turn over our economy to our enemies to ‘save the planet’.
Al Qaeda has set up a new training camp in Nuristan where “foreign Arab fighters” are once again arriving to be trained as suicide bombers. The improved “mountain roads” that China plans to build will enable Al Qaeda and the Taliban to move suicide bombers through Pakistan in coordination with Jihadi groups like the Tehreek-e-Taliban… and from there anywhere.
While Al Qaeda used to have to rely on oil money from the Saudis, Qataris and other wealthy Muslim oil states, along with some drug smuggling, kidnapping and cash from humanitarian aid groups, it will have the opportunity to tap into enormous wealth to fund its terrorism. If that happens, Al Qaeda will not only have avoided defeat, but could become deadlier than ever.
And all of our ‘green energy’ ventures will be funding future attacks against ourselves.
Green energy will become a means of transmuting virtue signaling cash into terrorism. That may be why Biden joined the Taliban in denying the UN Security Council’s report on Al Qaeda’s presence in Afghanistan.
“I said al Qaeda would not be there. I said it wouldn’t be there. I said we’d get help from the Taliban. What’s happening now? What’s going on? Read your press. I was right.” Biden falsely claimed. The Taliban’s Foreign Affairs Ministry argued that Biden’s denial “refutes the recent report by UN Sanctions Monitoring Team.” Both Biden and the Taliban are lying about Al Qaeda.
Denying Al Qaeda’s presence will make it easier to eventually lower what few sanctions there are on the Taliban and to make us dependent not only on Communist China, but on Al Qaeda.
The Biden administration has been moving forward to eliminate most car sales by 2030. By then 67% of cars being sold on the market are supposed to be electric and unaffordable to the majority of Americans. California, Massachusetts, New York, Washington, New York and a number of other states are preparing to ban the sale of real cars by 2035. As is the EU.
While most people will no longer be able to afford to buy a new car in the next decade unless these onerous rules are overturned, those who do will send the price of lithium through the roof.
And that may also set off an unprecedented wave of Islamic terrorism.
From the Saudis and the Qataris, Islamic terrorism has always been funded by American energy needs. The downward shift to unreliable ‘green energy’ has changed nothing except that we may cut out the middle men in their desert skyscrapers and fund Al Qaeda directly.
Out of the mines of Nuristan, once known as ‘Kafiristan’ for their origins as soldiers in Alexander the Great’s army and being among the last to resist submission to Islam, will pour a stream of lithium that will taint the land around it and that will be used to fund terrorism, but that environmentalists will claim is ‘green’, ‘clean’ and ‘sustainable’ though it’s none of the above.
The mines will exist side by side with the Al Qaeda training camps packed with new recruits from the middle east traveling along the roads from Pakistan that will be built by China.
Our governments will take away our cars, our stoves and our livelihoods while forcing us to become dependent for our transportation, our energy and even our cooking on China, the Taliban and Al Qaeda all in the name of saving the planet from an imaginary crisis.
We will pay China and Al Qaeda for the privilege of driving to work or cooling our homes. And for the privilege of killing us.

Remember back in the 70s when the left was warning about a coming ice age? At the same time the left was furiously working to destroy nuclear energy. Now the left are warning that the Earth is on fire. If indeed climate is changing from ice age to Earth on fire I would place the blame directly on the lefts shoulders. Electric cars have major issues. They tend to spontaneously combust, there is a problem with procuring the necessary elements to build them, all roads bridges parking structures etc would have to be fortified to accommodate them, the power grid cant support them, salvage yards wont take them, there is no plan for recycling their components, and those are just the problems off the top of my head. If the left is proposing it you can bank on the fact that it is destined to fail. The left cannot even run their cites without running them in to the ground. The lefts slogan might as well be, what good is a plan if it doesn’t fail?
abu taleb says
EV is not as green as what is being told. The electricity needed is most likely coming from coal power plants. And what happens after the batteries’ life is over? Most likely it will end in dumping areas or be sent to third world countries for “recycle” which eventually ends up the same way, but “not in my backyard”.
mick says
The lefties at my Uni in the 70s were more focussed on pollution (Rachel Carson), the Arms race (Michael Kidron), the waste of capitalism (Vance Packard) and above all the Vietnam war.
On some points they were right.
tgusa says
Yep mick. Back then, we all were focused on real world problems. It was a dirty world, our country as well. But back then the left were sane so yes we did eliminate much pollution in the air in the water and on the streets. Back then I could see the smog getting closer to me, with each summer day, going south from LA. Going south is not easy to do with an onshore breeze. The Vietnam war, in my youth I couldn’t figure out what our countrymen were fighting for but in spite of that I supported them nonetheless. Had to. My ancestors have fought in many wars but you wont find any of them on the roster of wars that dont directly threaten the people of the USA.
Hoi Polloi says
I think a major factor in the US’s demise has been the policy shift that allows draw of soldiers from only certain sectors of society who are sent to fight these endless wars. If everyone had a full stake, there’d be far less support for these war profit regimes.
tgusa says
You are right Hoi Polloi. The establishment is using our young men as a global mercenary force and have been for a long time. The children of the people in DC that are doing this should be the first ones on the line. On the line, not in the rear with the gear.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Even w/o this Jihadist connection, most people worldwide can’t and won’t buy EV cars. That thing is nowhere near ready for market for so many reasons:
‣ No country has the grid capacity to support it
‣ Those cars are incapable of drives beyond 30 miles. They’re fine if all one does is drive within a small town, but the moment one wants to use it for anything more, such as a road trip, a long haul, etc, they are SOL
‣ The cost of these cars are huge. Heck, the cost of the batteries alone are north of $2k. One of my friends used to own a hybrid, and switched to a normal ICE car for that reason
Even aside from the above reasons, people traditionally left-of-center ought to oppose it. The mining facilities of these rare earths in most countries are environmentally abysmal, and do more damage to the environment than petroleum drilling or refining. Add to that that in third world countries, indentured servitude is back when it comes to these mining operations: I once saw a video of a Congolese (Zaire) kid being whipped for not gathering cobalt deposits fast enough. I dunno about Gulf states, but in most other oil/LNG extracting & refining operations in Western countries, nothing even close to that exists
During the eras that oil was essentially something that only islamic countries – GCC, Libya, Algeria, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Indonesia, or other Western adversaries like Russia owned, non-muslim countries were SOL when it came to their dependence on the above for oil. That dominance was ended under the Trump administration, and even putting aside the fact that in 2020 oil was at one point trading negative due to the Russo-Saudi bickering over oil prices, the dominance that muslim countries had over non-muslim ones looked like a thing of the past. Now we’re going from dependence on muslim countries to dependence on China, and it’s hard to determine which is worse
On a final note, I’d like to see how Beijing works w/ Al Qaeda when it comes to this extraction of Lithium in Nuristan. On the flip side, if Nuristan has this, chances are that so does Pakistan, which borders the area in question
Hoi Polloi says
An acquaintance thought he got a great deal and on his conscience-cleansing used EV. Nearly immediately had to buy $6k in replacement batteries. There have been two container ship fires just recently attributed to these batteries.
The mining issue you laid out has two further drawbacks as I understand it: 1) these are the easy digs and further mining will be more energy and labor intensive and 2) factoring in the energy costs of building and fueling the massive equipment used to obtain the battery materials pushes EV energy consumption into truly egregious territory.
Another problem is weather. Both heat and cold are seriously problematic with regard to range. Range is also diminished by manner of use, which is something not often revealed by enthusiasts.
I love to see rational information like yours and others here because it’s very difficult to convince people who want to believe the hype.
The matter of truly evil abuse of children in mining and processing as well as poorer citizens subsidizing richer EV owners should have been enough at the outset to wake people up. Being now beholden to brutal regimes should, but probably won’t, do it.
henry crawford says
It’s not that people want to buy into the hype in my opinion.. I think they’ve been brainwashed. Reason and logic are a thing of the past now. They have all become sheep.
Hoi Polloi says
You should hear them excuse the delivery of an EV with a block of wood zip tied in place of a missing part.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
You’ve enlightened me a bit yourself. Even if one assumes that building the equipment and the mining operations are a one time deal, this sort of operation is by no means sustainable, since metals like lithium, nickel & cobalt are by no means as abundant as even iron, let alone coal or oil. They are not sustainable for the simple reason that there isn’t more lithium being generated in the earth’s crust all the time. From some of my college days, from what I recall, iron is the most stable element in the periodic table, in that its nucleus is neither too small, nor too big (such as uranium or radium). Lithium is at the other extreme – atomic number 3 – and so well inside the earth’s crust, at searing temperatures, at a nuclear level, it tends to fuse and form more stable elements
One more thing I forgot to touch upon above is the sheer real-estate consumed by solar or wind farms. It might be fine in, say, the great Australian outback, where they have acres to throw at this stuff, but in the US, having to chose b/w farms and wind farms is an ugly choice
About your acquaintance, I think that sadly, some people will just have to learn from a financially crippling experience how dangerous buying into this hype is. They ought to sue the Climate Change movement – groups like “Just Stop Oil” for every penny that they had to fork out above and beyond the cost of their cars, like the $6k in batteries. Oh yes, and companies like Tesla have their own roadside service, which they pack into the cost of the car, since normal towing services won’t touch those cars, due to all the proprietary hooks that they’d require to get in (if the battery dies, good luck opening the car)
Hoi Polloi says
Yes, oh yes, those wind farms. Those installed in the ocean are killing whales in addition to all the bird kills. And their proponents never discuss the Chinese role, the number that are non-functional, the lifespan, or the energy and material costs associated.
somehistory says
I don’t do the drugs that the afghans grow, and I won’t be buying an electric car. So, except for the money collected through taxes which wind up in terrorist’s pockets, I don’t fund them, won’t fund them.
Hoi Polloi says
I think that’s an important point. Drug education should, as it does, focus on individual health risks. Maybe teaching wokies just how damaging to the powerless are the drug ops that bring them their high would have real impact.
somehistory says
Thank you, HP.
People sometimes do boycott businesses which do things, fund things, support things the customers find objectionable, even when they like the product.
Walter Sieruk says
It’s terrible, that a cheating vote stealing treacherous treasonous subversive scoundtal and villain, Joe Biden, is now sitting in the Oval Office of the White House masquerading as a real, genuine, US President.
Furthermore, Joe Biden is an affront to the Office of the Presidency of the United States and a disgrace to the US Constitution . Biden is also a catastrophe to America and a disaster for the American people.

James Lincoln says
As far as I know, Biden’s ’67 Corvette still has its original internal combustion engine.
Yet he wants US to all by electric cars.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Does he (or more precisely, his chauffeur) still drive that? Or is it just a showpiece in his garage to put all the classified documents that he has no room for within the residence? ?
James Lincoln says
Infidel,
Sure hope that Biden Isn’t personally driving the ‘vette – anywhere.
There are enough demented crazies on the road already.
OLD GUY says
Think of the money these electric car scammers will make, if they can force the change from gas cars and trucks to electric. The open border one world rule group wants to control and own the energy markets followed by the Agricultural and Industrial production on a world wide basis. Its NOT about saving the planet from global warming it is about owning the planet and control.
