If you can't beat 'em, buy 'em off, or at least try. As a result, "American tax dollars end up paying members of the Taliban and funding a volatile environment in Afghanistan." Part of it is a protection racket, America and private contractors paying resistance fighters to grant supply convoys free passage. More funds them not to fight coalition forces.

(11) The H1N1 Swine Flu Pandemic: Manipulating Data to Enrich Drug Companies
The WTO-declared "pandemic" was, in fact, a mouse that didn't roar, a hoax to enrich drug giants and expose billions globally to toxic vaccines crucial to avoid. Word spread, millions reacted, avoiding potentially grave illnesses later on, but likely new campaigns lie ahead, as deceptive and dangerous as the 2009 H1N1 one. Forewarned is forearmed.
