Wikileaks shares an old clip of Assange speaking on Afghanistan…
Julian Assange speaking in 2011: "The goal is to use Afghanistan to wash money out of the tax bases of the US and Europe through Afghanistan and back into the hands of a transnational security elite. The goal is an endless war, not a successful war" #Afghanistan pic.twitter.com/Hg3qVzABBg

What does it mean to “wash money out of tax bases”?

Once the money is declared as funds to be used in Afghanistan, it is out of the system and nobody knows the when, where, and who used it for what purpose. It doesn't involve companies, no invoices? They can hand out any amount to anyone.

It means to take money that came from taxes and divert it to secret, illicit purposes.
