The U.S. sent billions in famine relief to Yemen. During the famine, the population rose 30%. And Yemen’s Houthis used our money to go to war against us.
In May 2024, the Biden administration announced that it was providing $220 million in aid to Yemen which the United States had been at war with since the start of that year.
Even while the US Navy was engaged in what the Associated Press would describe next month as the “most intense combat since World War II” with Yemen’s Houthi Jihadists, the U.S. Mission to Yemen boasted of having provided “nearly $5.9 billion” in aid beginning with the Obama administration, of being “the largest donor of humanitarian assistance” and urged that “other donors must join us in stepping up” to fund an Iranian-backed terror group at war with us.
A terror group whose motto, like its Iranian patrons, is “Death to America.”
One arm of the United States government, the Pentagon, was fighting the Houthis, while another arm, the State Department and USAID, were funding them. While Navy personnel on board US Navy vessels had seconds to prepare and counter Houthi strikes, State Department and USAID personnel worked to keep the Houthi’s Hodeidah port open so more “aid” could pass through it. The US Navy was not allowed to strike Hodeidah even though it was the Houthi lifeline for the weapons that the Houthis were using to attack American and other vessels.
The Biden administration had ended President Trump’s support for Saudi action against the Houthis and lavished a fortune on the terrorist areas because terrorist supporters and international groups had falsely claimed that Yemen was suffering from a deadly famine.
Before Islamic terrorist supporters, their leftist allies and international aid groups faked a famine in Gaza to save Hamas, #YemenFamine was trending on social media along with photos of wounded and starving children. Much as in Gaza, there was no famine. Rather the Houthis were seizing international aid which they then resold to create food shortages. The more aid came in, the more the Houthis seized. The fake famine was used to mount an international pressure campaign to end the attacks on the Houthis and send billions of dollars in relief to Yemen.
Massive shipments of urea, a fertilizer also used in explosives, were allowed into Yemen to help grow crops and stop the mythical famine. Even though urea was proscribed, the shipments were not interfered with in the name of ending the famine that wasn’t happening. Along with the urea came ammonium perchlorate which is used in rocket fuel. The rockets being fired at US Navy vessels were fueled by the famine lie. False claims of a famine were a tool of war.
By 2018, over $4 billion in humanitarian aid had poured into Yemen. The UN’s World Food Program, which would later invent and become the loudest voice promoting the Gaza famine hoax, operated 5,000 distribution sites to supposedly aid 10 million people whom it claimed were facing emergency conditions, but could only track 1 in 5 of its food basket allotments.
In 2017, two-thirds of those who were supposed to be receiving food had not gotten anything.
In one Houthi province, the UN sent twice as much food as the people needed, and came away claiming that the majority of the population was still in desperate need of food.
The WFP, and even the AP eventually admitted that the Houthis were taking much of the food. The Houthis created fake lists of starving people who needed food. International aid groups resorted to sending money so that Yemenis could buy the food aid that was being resold.
Even though all of this was well known, the Biden administration kept on sending more aid five years later. The money didn’t go to the people: it went to the Houthis at war with America.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s first order of business was taking the Houthis off the list of foreign terrorist organizations, making it legal to fund them, despite “their reprehensible conduct, including attacks against civilians and the kidnapping of American citizens” because of “the humanitarian consequences” that would take place in Yemen. Even as the Houthis went to war against America, “humanitarian aid” provisions protected the delivery of fuel, and the port and airport operations that allowed the Houthis to get more money and weapons.
Earlier this year, the UN demanded $2.47 billion for its 2025 Yemen Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan. In February, the Houthis killed a WFP worker (an event that got far less publicity than the deaths of aid workers in Gaza), but in April, the WFP expressed outrage that the United States was finally, at least temporarily, pausing aid and would not be allocating over $100 million in funds to the enemy region at war with the United States.
After 9 years of non-stop famine (and billions in spending), 17 million people are facing acute hunger in Yemen. That’s up from 15.9 million people in 2019.
Since the famine began, Yemen’s population shot up from 30 million to 39 million.
Having a population increase by 10 million or 30% during a famine is unprecedented. What accounts for this Yemeni miracle? Miraculously, Yemen’s population rose sharply as an unprecedented wave of foreign aid poured into this country. It’s unknown how many of these miracle births were real or fake names to collect yet more humanitarian aid for the hungry.
After the latest round of airstrikes, a Yemeni man interviewed on camera, chanted, “Death to America” and bragged that “our country is fortified with the skulls of American demons.”
More accurately, it’s fortified with $5.9 billion in American taxpayer money.
Since Yemen’s population seem to have figured out how to increase by a third during a famine affecting half their population, they clearly don’t need any more help from us, which should be used to help actual starvation victims in African countries that can’t just pump oil from the ground. Not only should we stop sending aid to Yemen, we should block all further aid.
If we don’t want to be in a perpetual war over passage through the Red Sea or depend on the goodwill of a terrorist group for access to it, we should cut off the money to the terrorists.
And while Iran has supplied the Houthis with weapons and money, in Yemen, much as in Afghanistan, Iraq and Gaza, much of the money going to the terrorists comes from us.

I know as do so many by now that Biden was not really in charge during his disastrous Presidency but if one takes a look at his entire political career, from the early 1970s onwards, it is possible to argue, and I would be prepared to argue such, that no single politician in all of American history did more damage to America than Joe Biden did.
As Robert Gates, Obama’s Defense Secretary, asserted in his work, “Duty,” he didn’t know of a single major foreign policy matter that Biden ever got correct. When you add to this other major errors, among them his voting for taxing Social Security recipients at 50% in the 1980s and then moving to 85% in the 1990s (N.B., President Trump wants to remove ALL taxes on Social Security), never mind his many ad hominem attacks against others, including Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas, Biden has been a bane to the American Republic throughout his wretched political career. He also with his family has shown himself to be not only an inveterate liar but profoundly corrupt.
Yes, Joe Biden gets my vote for the single most disastrous politician in American history just as Anthony Fauci would get my vote for being the single most destructive bureaucrat in American history. So fitting that Biden pardoned Fauci in his last hours of his highly destructive Presidency.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
There should be a special/independent commission to look into the Biden presidency, and to what extent was President Biden actually the one running things, and to what extent did the bureaucratic underlings just do whatever they felt like, given his predicament
Once it’s found out, those people should be arrested and tried for treason for an unlawful seizure of power: nobody elected them! After that, declare everything that was signed w/ an Autopen in Biden’s administration null & void, and proceed to nullify every one of them, good or bad!
OLD GUY says
I have to agree with that, it appears that there was a takeover of the American Government using Biden as the fake leader. That deception of the voters is treason. Who ever controlled the Autopen is guilty as hell as well as those who directed this scam.
James Lincoln says
Yes, Wellington.
Biden and Fauci: two of the “worst of the worst”.

Who cares about the stupid and misguided Houthis, the basic problem is the Pol Pot (Jolani) regime, which has taken over Syria and because of which Israel must necessarily annex Sweida.Pol Pot (Jolani) is killing all religious minorities on a daily basis and the Israeli Druze are a valuable part of the Israeli army, so Israel must annex Sweida.

The democrats are the “destroy America “ terrorist group. More destructive than Muslims or cartels, or China. Remove them and the other groups would disappear, having no foothold here.

Democrats partner with Allah’s Muslims against Israel, America, and ALL Non-Muslims using deceit, discrimination, violence, and terrorism to help Democrats gain ultimate power and control.
Non-Muslims CANNOT have peace with Allah’s Islam, a Terrorist-Criminal Enterprise, and its deceitful believers because Islam and its murderous god, Allah, demand a continuous Muslim war, a RELIGIOUS DUTY, against unbelievers where Non-Muslims are CRIMINALS under Islam due to illegal UNBELIEF and unlawful BLASPHEMY against Allah when despicable Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” Similarly, contemptible Allah in Quran 2:208 says, “O you who have believed[Muslims], enter completely into Islam and do not follow the steps of Satan; surely he is an obvious enemy to you.”(see also Quran 30:30)
Islam contradicts Western Laws and incites violence and terrorism against Non-Muslims as Allah punishes Non-Muslims by Muslim hands(Quran 9:14 and more). HENCE, NON-MUSLIMS MUST MAKE ISLAM, ITS MOSQUES, ITS SCHOOLS, ITS COURTS, ETC. ILLEGAL UNDER WESTERN LAW(Quran 9:29 and more). Also, Islam and its many Organizations must be identified and publicly declared to be MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS(MTO) for their funding, teaching, and support of terrorism, violence, and discrimination against Non-Muslims as taught in Islam’s Quran(eg. Quran 3:151; 9:5,29,111; 60:4;61:9-11; 89:114; 98:6-7 and more).

You idiots ! USA fYemen aid doesn’t go to Houthis! it goes to the Yemeni government which is also supported by the Saudis. The Houthis are rebels occupying a small part of Yemeni
Winston 101 says
John,
Aid to Yemen’s government (east side )may have been where USAID was intended to go.
Hodeidah Port is where the USAID went into Yemen and that is in the Houthi controlled (west side) part Yemen. Hodeidah is where the Houthi’s are supplied by Iran and its allies.
Thus, the decision to bomb the Hodeidah Port.

I nominate “Autopen With Background of Faceless Shadows” for “President” Joe Biden’s official White House portrait.
And who could forget, in October of 2021, when Biden uttered his now famous quote :
“America is a nation that can be defined in a single word: ASU-FUTI-MAE-HAEH-FUT.
Thankfully it’s preserved on video.
It would be hilarious if he,and they, hadn’t been so destructive. The only good thing about his term is it gave Americans, that had any doubts, a good look at what the Democrat Party had on offer and
WE SAID -“OH HELL NO!”
