United Nations Hiring Taliban Fighters for Protection in Afghanistan.

According to a UN document and an anonymous source, the UN is proposing to pay roughly $6 million for protection in Afghanistan to Taliban-run Interior Ministry troops, whose commander is under U.N. and US sanctions and is wanted by the FBI.

According to the document acquired by Reuters, the proposed funding would be used mostly to subsidize the monthly salary of Taliban militants defending UN sites and to give them with a monthly food allowance as part of an extension of an agreement with the former US-backed Afghan government.

The proposal highlights the ongoing instability in Afghanistan following the Islamist Taliban’s takeover in August, just as the last U.S. forces were leaving, as well as the new government’s critical lack of finances to a halt of foreign financial aid.

“The United Nations has a duty as an employer to reinforce and, where necessary, supplement the capacity of host states in circumstances where U.N. personnel work in areas of insecurity,” deputy U.N. spokesman Farhan Haq wrote in an email in response to Reuters’ questions about the proposed payments. He made no objections to the document’s content.

According to some analysts, the proposed payments raise concerns about whether they would breach US and UN sanctions on the Taliban and its top officials, as well as whether the UN would be able to identify cash diversion for other purposes.

“What it comes down to is there is no proper oversight,” said the source, who asked to remain anonymous in order to speak freely about the situation.

Sirajuddin Haqqani, the deputy Taliban commander and the head of the Interior Ministry, is among those facing sanctions. He is the leader of the Haqqani network, which has been accused for some of the worst strikes in the war’s 20 years. The US is offering a $10 million reward for information leading to Haqqani’s capture, claiming that he is linked to al Qaeda.

The budget of the United Nations Assistance Operation in Afghanistan (UNAMA) is “currently under review,” but Haq stated the mission “maintains full compliance with all UN sanctions regimes.”

When asked if the intended payments would violate US sanctions, he remained silent.

The Taliban and the Haqqani network remain listed under the US government’s counterterrorism sanctions program, according to a US Treasury Department official, and unauthorized people who help them “risk exposure to US sanctions.”

On condition of anonymity, the official declined to comment on the United Nations’ plan.

The proposed funding would help the Taliban’s ability to defend 3,500 United Nations officials in Kabul and ten field offices. Many are working to assist the country’s 39 million people cope with food shortages as a result of a breakdown in governmental services and an economic collapse hastened by the disappearance of foreign financial aid.

The majority of a proposed $4 million security budget for 2022 shared by the 20 United Nations agencies operating in Afghanistan “constitutes payments in respect of supplementing host nation resources for their primary responsibility to protect U.N. personnel (as foreseen in our SOMA).” according to the UN document.

The acronym SOMA refers to the former government’s Status of Mission Agreement. According to the source, the UN covered the costs of police officers from the Interior Ministry who guarded UN installations under the agreement.

A city in South Korea plans to roll out a system that uses facial recognition technology and data from over 10,000 surveillance cameras to detect COVID-19 cases and ensure mask compliance.

Beginning in January, the nationally funded pilot project will be tested in Bucheon, a city of about 850,000 people located between Incheon and Seoul.

It will use artificial intelligence, facial recognition, and thousands of CCTV cameras to track the movement of individuals infected with COVID-19, anyone they had close contact with, and whether they were wearing a mask, according to a 110-page business plan from the city submitted to the Ministry of Science and Information and Communications Technology (ICT).

Despite concerns about invasion of privacy, governments around the world have turned to new technologies and expanded legal powers to try to stem the tide of COVID-19 infections. China, Russia, India, Poland, and Japan as well as several U.S. states are among the governments to have rolled out or at least experimented with facial recognition systems for tracking COVID-19 patients, according to a March report by Columbia Law School in New York.

A proposal for the system by the city of Bucheon was first approved in February by the federal Ministry of Science and ICT.

“Using facial recognition technology will enable that analysis in an instant,” said Bucheon Mayor Jang Deog-cheon in bidding for national funding for the pilot project late last year. He said it will save workers from having to spend “hours analyzing a single [segment of] CCTV footage.”

A city official said the pilot project should reduce the strain on overworked tracing teams in a city with a population of more than 800,000 people, and help use the teams more efficiently and accurately.

The plan also states that the system is designed to overcome the fact that tracing teams have to rely heavily on the testimony of COVID-19 patients, who aren’t always truthful about their activities and whereabouts.

There aren’t currently plans to expand the project to the national level, the Ministry of Science and ICT said.

Bucheon received 1.6 billion won ($1.36 million) from the Ministry of Science and ICT and injected 500 million won of the city budget into the project to build the system, a city official said.

Amid privacy concerns, Korea’s Disease Control and Prevention Agency has justified the use of facial recognition technology within the realm of the disease control and prevention law.

Amnesty International and more than 170 organizations in June called for a ban on biometric surveillance, saying that it undermines human rights and civil liberties, including the rights to privacy and data protection, the right to freedom of expression, the right to free assembly and association, and the rights to equality and non-discrimination.

Privacy concerns are undeniably justified coming from concerned citizens. However politicians seem to be selling out to someone else’s agenda, the globalist agenda.

Wether you are aware or not, we are in a technological race with China. As we know they play by a different set of rules. The type of rules that force people to be in their own bubble and never see outside of it. Everything you do is tracked and stored into a massive database that is accessed by the artificial intelligence that helps govern China. If you’re following me you’d understand why the controversial app TikTok was targeted by President Trump and his administration. If you’d like to dive into the imminent threat that is artificial intelligence, you’d need to learn about the history of AI and how far it’s come in recent years.

This single topic of conversation alone is enough to make someone who takes interest in technology wonder what is next for America. Considering the divide we’ve seen in society due to COVID-19 propaganda. The person next to you on a bus could be experiencing life in America completely bought into Fauci’s lies. But your choice to refuse vaccination could become troublesome for the sleeping sheep. Only because the lying “omniscient” medical practitioners suggest as such. Stay inquisitive in the word of God, and the world around you.
