We must be cautious in reviewing any/all media articles about the fluid situation in Afghanistan, as both Leftist and NeoCon media are framing the crisis story to fit their preferred narrative. All DC media reporting should be viewed through the prism of cynicism and skepticism.
CNN is reporting the State Dept. Narrative that Taliban have surrounded the Kabul airport and there is no safe way for Americans to reach the evacuation point. However, the Pentagon is reporting that the Taliban is “not interfering in their mission” to facilitate the evacuation of Americans, and Taliban members “are not stopping U.S. citizens with American passports” from traveling to the airport.
When we review a State Department position (DoS) on anything, it should be noted that DoS personnel are, by ideological tribe, very dramatic, tender and pearl-clutching leftists in their worldview. State Department officials are the wokeist of the international woke community. As a consequence of their alignment and role, CNN is almost identically predisposed to the dramatic flair.
CNN takes the DoS bulletin and proclaims that Americans are trapped outside the airport by the Taliban. There is no evidence of this claim being accurate. There’s a difference between “we cannot ensure safe passage”, and “your passage is unsafe.” Yes, things are sketchy and unstable, but there have been no reports of safety incidents with any Americans.
.
There is also an effort by media to parse the Biden administration into segments, and position blame according to their ideological unit inside the tribe. Watch for this to appear in the reporting, and we should not allow it.
The U.S. State Department, the U.S. Defense Department, The White House, the National Security Council and all officials in positions of leadership within the entirety of the Biden foreign policy establishment are equally to blame and all attached to this failure.
Their foreign policy ship is sinking and they were all on board.
Do not allow them to reach shore and excuse themselves from their crisis.
U.S. Military leadership was wrong in their claims, plans and risk assessments prior to the collapse. The U.S. State Department was wrong and inept in their planning to secure the Embassy mission in Kabul for all Americans. The White House failed to organize, coordinate and manage the draw-down of military action in Afghanistan. The President made the wrong decisions. Those in political position advising the President were inept.
The Biden administration and foreign policy team is weak, ineffective, ideological and functionally flawed. Everything they do is exactly the opposite of what should be done.
Just like Obama before him, the Biden foreign policy is a joke.
No masks?
I would like nothing better than for every American presently in A-gan to make it home safe. But my gut tells me that we will soon be looking at a hostage situation that will dwarf Carter in 1979.
Yeah. It’ll dwarf it alright. In more ways than numbers. That I can tell you.
Yep. Poor choice of word in that post.
I’m not thinking along these lines. My belief is the Taliban will not interfere and wants all Americans out of the country and this is going to go way smoother than people realize. My hunch is they believe the faster the Americans citizens are out, the faster the troops leave, the faster they can begin cracking down on their own people.
I agree and the media will praise bird brain Biden and he’ll brag about telling the Taliban “come on man, you better let our people go to the airport safely or I’m gonna turn Hunter loose on your prettiest goats.”
I’m not so sure. Americans make for nice hostages. Lots
of leverage there. Think about the frozen Afghan assets here, courtesy of the inept globalist Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. The Afghans aren’t just going to say “C’est la vie” and leave it at that. No…as I said, Americans make nice bargaining chips…very nice. I pray for them all.
My guess is this fraudulent administration has already paid the ransom for their release/free passage. What’s a few more taxpayer billions. Probably took all of one phone call from the Taliban. If it wasn’t our idea to begin with. FUBAR.
I read today on the Last Refuge2 Twitter account that the US government has actually been paying the Afghan military through the Pentagon via the Senate and House Armed Services Committee. When abruptly leaving and was paychecks gone, well, this whole pantomime fell apart.
Who knew that?? So if this is true, and why wouldn’t it be, it certainly is within the realm of possibility that more of our monies would
be used for the purpose you stated. Obama’ s payment to Iran in the dead of night serves as a template.
I think americas are not the priority of the “JoBama” administration. Loading as many Islamic fighters on planes and bringing them to the US is. The last plane load may have Americans but it may become target practice for one of the missiles we intentionally left . Than we can start a new chapter in the same old war.
My belief is the Taliban will not throw away the opportunity to earn a huge hostage payday and fund themselves for the next decade.
There’re multiple ways of looking at how this will play out but one thing for sure the Taliban will do nothing for us without it benefiting them in some way, you can bet on that.
Yes, and those who assisted us visibly for decades, who had not yet passports, will not be permitted to the airport. Horrid, particularly for those with children. Their fate is as dark as ours.
Darker, I’d say.
Well if the military mission is to fly them out and the Taliban is not interfering with that, then statement = true.
However it is not military mission to get people to the airport.
Thank you for the reminder to employ deep cynicism when reading these reports. We have a better chance of getting the facts of the situation on the ground from foreign journalists, who have no dog in the hunt. Thank you for what you do, Sundance.
This is a true tragedy. “We won’t know until we know” – – Yogi Berra
Here’s one thing you can know: it’s not Buyden.
EXC: Joe Biden’s State Dept Halted a Trump-Era ‘Crisis Response’ Plan Aimed at Avoiding Benghazi-Style Evacuations Just MONTHS Before Taliban Takeover.
Well, that’s rather significant news, isn’t it… I wonder if it will ever be covered on the MSM.
Ahhhhh, nope.
Quite to contrary it will be covered up.
THIS^^^^^^
I just scanned it from the other thread.
thank you for reposting here!!?
From the article:
“The National Pulse also understand no Congressional notification was sent to the United States Congress, as is required, upon the pause.”
(Because of the “sensitivity of the matter“, perhaps?)
Elections have consequences and this one is a tragedy.
“Theft” of elections has consequences.
Yes!!! Thank you for the correction.
Another bad day. This just can’t go on another 3 plus years. Something will have to give.
We should be concerned that it can’t go another 3 plus months.
Something is sure to give.
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST POSTINGS EVER MADE BY SUNDANCE.
TREEPERS SHOULD EMAIL IT TO EVERY PERSON IN THEIR ADDRESS BOOK.
PRAY FOR HIS SAFETY – THE DEEP STATE MAY NOT TOLERATE HIM DISSEMINATING THE TRUTH.
GOD SPEED MY FRIEND!
Agreed
Xi should intervene and get the Americans out safely.
He’ll wait for them to become hostages and then negotiate for their release, a few at a time, using them to squeeze concessions out of Biden/Harris for years.
If China acts as the intermediary in the return of hostages they can use that position as a diplomatic shield against our involvement between them and Taiwan.
How can we criticize them if they are helping us recover our people?
They are already hostages. No way to passed the Taliban checkpoint. The only way is to blaze your way out there. What a mess. We need a real president. Not that demented pedo in chief and his moron commies underlings.
Zerohedge article linked above suggests that the Afghan gold at the NY fed may have been moved to the vault in the Chinese owned building next door to the NY fed.
.
I believe this was always the plan.
Bribem gets to see who is trying to oust him, via his incompetency in this matter.
Americans scream out for ‘someone to do something’.
China comes to America’s rescue by militarily escorting US military and allies out of Afghanistan, and then ‘leaving’ the country for the Taliban.
SLO-Joe says, ‘See, I was right. Everything turned out just fine.’
Thus, he stays in office, saved by the CCP who will negotiate, for ‘payment’, that the US leave Tawain.
Bribem gets bribed AND gets rid of those now in his administration who were not loyal.
K-k gets outed as disloyal and is replaced.
If this evacuation goes well it will be for one reason…We, the American taxpayers will be paying those terrorists goat f….kers billions of $$$$$$
in ransom.
And we’ll never be told the truth about it.
It will be a long time coming before this ever sees the light of day, if indeed it does at all.
That’s always been easy for me to not trust anything coming from all media outlets. That’s why I follow a minuscule amount of actual “Fact” based sites. CTH is one!
It is the same for me.
My sentiments are a deal will be brokered by others involved, leaving them in the catbird seat as far as power and influence goes. Hello CCP.
Is the U.S. State Department and the Joint Chiefs of Staff so far gone that they wanted this to happen?
Since January everything’s been turned upside down, so it feels like ‘crazy’ is possible.
Regardless of whatever the incompetence/instigation ratio may be, they’re certainly taking advantage of the situation to load this political baggage into the White House moving vans in anticipation of the inevitable.
Helped it happen. Now phase two can happen. Remove Biden and place the chosen one in the VP slot. Next phase is remove Harris one way or the other. Only question is, who is the chosen one to oversee the demise of America and slaughter of Americans.

Wow.
https://t.me/disclosetv/4124
Defense Secretary Austin looks completely stunned when a reporter asks “it sounds like you’re saying this depends on diplomacy with the Taliban. That’s it.”
“Uh, Jen . . . (Silence) . . .”
It was like watching Bunker Biden stumble for words.
https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/08/canada-pm-trudeau-spoke-to-hillary-but-not-biden-about-afghanistan/
https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/08/germany-calls-bidens-afghanistan-pull-out-the-biggest-debacle-for-nato/
The only positive to come out of NATO was standardized ammunition.
Evacuations will continue until the Taliban decide to end them. The losers don’t dictate the terms of surrender. Austin and Milley are in denial that the Taliban have the last say.
They are treacherous traitors.
They are.
China is now circling Taiwan…. Literally
This is the begining of BIDEN’S WORLD WAR 3 – Believe this is being done on purpose, not ineptitude.
Too much debt on the books at this point, hence the bizarro spending by Biden.
$Trillions are at stake and the swamps around the globe aim to collect
God help us all. We NEED Trump!
well said Deborah!
How much of this wealth left with Ghani? Did the focus on moving the gold rather than getting people out?
…”Additionally, DAB’s foreign currency cash holdings worth around $362 million consist almost entirely of U.S. dollars and were held at the bank’s head offices and branches as well as the presidential palace, which is now in the hands of the Taliban and is likely lost for ever.
That’s not all that is gone: according to the DAB, some $160 million worth of gold bars and silver coins held at the bank’s vault at the presidential palace. Also gone is a hoard of 2,000-year-old gold jewellery, ornaments and coins known as the Bactrian Treasure, which was held in the Afghan central bank’s vaults. The around 21,000 ancient artifacts were presumed lost until 2003, when they were found in a secret vault in the central bank’s basement, having survived the previous era of Taliban rule undiscovered. This time, they will be lost for good (Afghan lawmakers in January floated the idea of sending the treasures abroad for safe keeping, warning they were vulnerable to theft, according to local broadcaster Tolo News).”…

10% for the big guy?
Thank you Deborah you are over Target.
While our military “leadership” flounder around looking for a scapegoat for this utter failure.
China is using this as cover to invade Taiwan or for some mischievous deed that will inch them just a little closer.
Sundance, I’ve noticed over the years that more people have joined the CTH and although others sites have many more followers, I’ve noticed the articles you post make their rounds across the internet of things. I for one am to blame because I share them like a Madman as I hope others do as well!
Keep up the great work.
Same here. I often find that this site has stories before many other sites and even perhaps more importantly, when Sundance does a deep dive into complex topics, there is no one that I’ve found that compares. Truly a gift and, like you, I also spread links to many pieces on this site far and wide. And, yes, a big thank you to Sundance for all that he does.
I always share the links to everyone I can
I have learned that going to other sites is nothing but frustrating; if it isn’t posted here, then it’s not important anyway. Be patient & anything that is ‘need to know’ will be here to read shortly
In addition, to the reverse engineering of the drones, etc by china and Russia…
Jamming, radar, etc…
This was a Trade for Nov 2020 with plausible deniability.
On my q fire gunshots. Even in abject failure everything these media types do is carefully orchestrated. Why didn’t these liberals just ban guns in Afghanistan? It’s the guns!
Jrod – this is what happens when you don’t do comprehensive background checks.
From the Gateway Pundit: “Thanks to Joe Biden the Taliban Now Controls 11 Former US Bases, Approximately 174 Humvees, 10,000 High Explosive Rockets and 6 Light Attack Aircraft”
It’s time for the Esper/Milley Clown Show to start taking these out with airstrikes and/or drones.
Oh wait – I’m sorry. OBiden is illegally occupying PDJT’s seat.
What are you advertising,
“H&HC, 2nd-16th”
I am advertising nothing.
The moniker refers to Headquarters & Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division – a United States Army unit which I proudly served in from 1969 to 1971.
Next question?
Just saw a documentary on the Apache, takes a bright pilot and a systems navigator 2 years to learn to fly and use one of these
America will buy their freedom, of course.
Be aware, that re-distributing the wealth is seen as a panacea by leftists. Redistribution within America, within the world can only be a very good thing. If America’s wealth is not reaching the poor countries quickly enough through foreign aid (the foreign dictators steal it, leftists know that, and they are ambivalent) then let the poor come here, and get it.
Obama was very unhappy that America was the world’s lone superpower, briefly. He welcomed the rise of China, and he aspired to see Iran become the middle east’s superpower. Equality uber alles.
Let’s start by redistributing the wealth of the wealthiest first: zuckerberg, bezos, gates, buffet and work our way down to the obamas, celebrities, sports folks etc, When all of their wealth is below 5 million, we should have everyone below at a slightly higher level.
A rising tide floats all boats. I would be satisfied if they would stop buying elections.
Wow…. it is just so difficult to decide who to believe. Do I trust the press? Nope… they lied to me a lot. Do I trust the Pentagon. No again… because they lie a lot as well. What a puzzler.
Poor guy looks so alone – I have never seen a President this publicly isolated. Who is changing his diapers?>
BTW a friend asked me to pose the question; “Where is that beautiful hunk of woman, DOCTOR Jill”?
She’s down at Tramps-R-Us looking for a new outfit.
Sounding as if the fall of Afghanistan may have been cover for a massive bank heist.
Afghan head bankster’s account of his escape:
https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/did-ny-fed-confiscate-13-billion-afghan-gold-striking-revalations-afghanistans-central
Hey Blinken, what happened to the final shipment of cash to the Afghani central bank? Banker says he spoke to you personally.
86/46 because he ain’t
I hate to say it as I have thought we should have withdrawn all troops 19 1/2 years ago, but considering the current dire situation the Pentagon High Command has caused, maybe we should send a few tens of thousands of combat troops (Army and Marines) back in for a short time to eliminate the Taliban checkpoints.
we have LOST the operational advantage. doing so now would assure that those caught behind those corridors will be used to not just extort Biden, but also to demonstrate what this death cult is truly about.
they cannot be bargained with…this administration just refuses to understand this enemy.
the “leadership” in power right now, has no guts to face an enemy that desires above all else
to humiliate the US. and to kill these people.
see, the moment this idiot clown show signals they will send troops beyond the tiny radius at Kabul airport, that places marks on everyone who is gathering to be rescued.
as I said, we have LOST the operational advantage.
plans to get people out should have been set in motion about 3 months ago…while we could do it and maintain a positive force of defense for these corridors.
we’ve allowed the enemy right up to the gate…we can’t even take out a garbage can without them noticing..
and it sure AS HELL doesn’t help matters these two morons Austin and mullet have announced our military readiness posture and tactics.
it’s like being surrounded by the enemy and telling over the wall:. we’re coming out now to fetch some people about 3 miles from here…would you mind if we do that?
who the EFF dies that?
complete loss of operational security.
in one press briefing.
finit… done..
it’s over folks
those folks are never going to be collected… either killed or made as human blackmail pawns.
this administration does not know how to protect WITH THE STRONGEST MILITARY POWER EVER ASSEMBLED..
that’s beyond the pale
.
That is exactly what I said as these two buffoons talked:
Why are they giving out this information???
It is always suspect when the same irresponsible “journalists” who never questioned ANYTHING about candidate and then faux-POTUS Biden suddenly seem “all in” to expose him as the dolt that he is. They are all complicit. The media may hop aboard the “dump Biden” train, but every single one of them is guilty of dereliction of their duties, and has ownership of this humanitarian crisis. EVERY SINGLE ONE.
We know that all of this is presented for public consumption only. What’s the purpose? What are they preparing for or trying to craft a narrative for?
We know the resident won’t make it 4 years.
Is the “vp” the one they’re going to try and put in? Ridiculously unpopular, highly inept. How does the public react?
Piglousy? No way. Not only is it horrible, it’s likely a 50/50 bet who will be relieved of their mortal coil first between her and Joe.
So what is it?
Military coup?
Opening the door for actual election data to come out?
Redo of the election?
Trump reinstatement? I don’t see how this plays out
In any case, something is afoot and TPTB are trying to frame a narrative for public acceptance in the near future.
One thing that’s clear as day, is that the Afghani people, left inadequately educated, seemingly ill-prepared and unarmed are no match for hoodlums with weapons. That WILL NOT happen in the USA. But, boldness must prevail in us all NOW to ensure TPTB don’t push further than they already have.
Complete morons. Cued to the right part:
Mainstream leftism is no longer the old make-believe socialism of limousine liberals. They have degenerated into anarchism and nihilism. Leftist Hollywood Jews like Steve Carell and Seth Rogen are paying the bail of the anti-semites of BLM. It’s a good thing to do, because it’s a bad thing to do.
America’s failure in Afghanistan is good, because it’s bad. That is mainstream Democrat logic now. Something good is supposed to come from destruction. American leftists can’t tell you what, but something.
That is mainly what transgenderism is all about. It’s so ugly and insane, it must be good.
People who’ve never known hunger, like so many leftist Americans, think hunger is not possible. The generation who lived through the Depression are mostly gone. The welfare state produces the enormous fantasy of total invulnerability to want. Those leftists who want to use the welfare state as a frivolous weapon against their enemies need to stop and consider the implications of shattering the welfare state fantasy.
They want pallets of cash like Iran. They’ll get it if they hold out.
And we will pretty much have no choice other than to give it to them.
What is crystal clear is that all the players hate the United States of America and its inhabitants. And I’m not mainly talking about the Taliban.
Buyden isn’t in charge. He hasn’t been in charge since he was installed. He wasn’t even in charge of his own fake campaign.
Buyden was in need of an old folk’s home long before he was ever put up to run against President Trump.
Buyden is the same idiot he’s ever been – and now a senile one. But it isn’t his fault. He’s not actually doing anything. Peek behind the curtain, and you’ll see the strings.
DUMBKIRK
Afghanistan is in chaos…
Americans are in danger and cannot return safely at this time…
Biden is on TV talking about booster shots!
Totally tone deaf!!
Then walks off stage…no questions.
WTH is going on?
Perfect one word summation.
Now they got 10K hostages. So, Bye-den gonna rescue them? This is worst than fall of Saigon, Iran hostages combine.
Don’t worry as surely Austin, Milley and the other Einsteins at the Pentagon have lured the Taliban into a trap and will spring it soon. We don’t pay them the big bucks for nothing.
Milley is the guy who was prepared to launch a military coup to remove a sitting president should Trump “refuse to leave.” An ego so inflated, that fails to grasp the first clue that THAT is not how it is done here, is also capable of deliberately sabotaging another sitting president’s Afghanistan exit and then lying about it after the fact, in order to REinstall the military that protected the Afghanistan graft and money laundering machine that has made so many people RICH over the past 20 years, in order to “restore order” and “protect American assets.” Keep an ear open for those phrases. He is a dangerous man who should be separated from the military and from government.
This totally reminds me of a screenplay I once read. Here’s a cut and paste:
Outside an elite DC restaurant. The General is retrieving his car from Valet Parking.
General Silly to Valet Attendant (POC): “You remind me of a young B. Obama! You could be President one day.”
Valet Attendant: “Thank you Sir. The black Mercedes?”
General Silly nods in the affirmative and the attendant retrieves the vehicle.
Valet Attendant: “Your car Sir.”
General Silly pinches a dollar bill between his fingers and holds it for the attendant.
General Silly: “Here you are my good man. Bl*ck Lives Matter and our government has got your back.”
Valet Attendant: (takes dollar bill) “Thank you Sir.”
General Silly moves to get into vehicle and feels a sharp pinch in his side.
He looks in the Attendant’s eyes who’s holding the door open for him.
General Silly gasps for a breath and hears air escape from between his ribs on his side as the pinch turns to a searing hot pain filled with fear and death.
Wild eyed, he reaches for the Attendant while falling to his knees.
Valet Attendant: “America Matters, Sir. America Matters.” (removes blade from General’s side as he collapses to the ground)
Valet Attendant: “We are everywhere.”
I’m not sure if this screenplay ever made it past pre-production or not.
It sounded like a real suspenseful thriller though!
Cheap tipping doesn’t pay.
no sh&t!!
it’s only going to get worse given the two CLOWNS just announced the readiness status, tactical and strategic Intel of
OUR MILITARY!
who does that?
this is beyond cluster duck.
this is galactically stupid and has crossed into complete and utter failure to maintain operational security.
these two idiots need to go immediately.
these two have literally sealed the fate of this conflict…locked our military into few options…and the few that remain will require kinetic combat operations…
all of that could have been avoided with just a ounce of intelligence and ye
MISINFORMATION.
these two morons have just lost the farm..
There are millions of government workers and they are overwhelmingly all leftists. Deep State is a roundabout way of noting this. When all the employees know they are all fellow leftists, it removes restraint and fear of punishment for gross malfeasance in pursuit of their political ends regardless of executive directives.
All actions and decisions are focused on advancing leftwing politics regardless of consequence. Objective analysis based on empirical facts and hence, any hope for competent action has no place in such institutions.
That the left could monopolize the entire government employment rolls as their exclusive patronage is one of the most damning legacies of the fake opposition party known as the GOP. And it leaves no way of correction other than outright abolishment of the civil service.
Them government Americans in Afghanistan are experiencing first-hand the incompetence of their own ilk.
And the Kipling poem: “soldier . . .
When you’re wounded and left on Afghanistan’s plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An’ go to your Gawd like a soldier.
Go, go, go like a soldier.”
Is this guy kidding?
Screw him. He just BLEW a major military operation and HE’S GOING AFTER Americans? Actually kids?
SCREW YOU BIDEN..ROT IN HELL< almost there…go see Lucifer and pave the way for all those other evil kindred in DC…ALL OF THEM…
What is so important with the jabbed clot shot, that every formerly rational, educated, thinking person I know, has lined up and rolled up their sleeve, while governments and globalists keep pushing this?
I read somewhere else (natural news I think) that funds will be with held from nursing homes if their employees don’t get the jab. Traditionally, in my area, nursing homes don’t hire the best and brightest, so threatening their salaries, is how they will gain compliance.
Meanwhile, fraudulent elections, Americans stranded in a foreign country…yeah…the hits keep on coming.
Blood boiling!!! I cannot even repeat a word of the words I just used in the privacy of my home to describe this disgusting excuse of a so-called president.
While a likely massacre is being set up in Kabul, the insane, demented pedophile who illegally occupies the White House is make a speech on vaccines and boosters.
I am listening and watching it via UK Daily Mail and cannot believe that his handlers let him do this.
He said we are “the arsenal of vaccines and the arsenal of Democracy” then walked off the stage without taking even one question from the screaming jackals.
WTF is going on here?
As I read on another site, he said he will use the Federal Government to go after any governor that opposes mask mandates for school children (here’s looking at you, Governor Desantis).
Feral GOV does NOT HAVE THAT AUTHORITY!!!!!!!
Time to STAND UP ALL YOU SO-CALLED STATE GOVERNORS (besides DeSantis), and put this SICK PUPPET in his place.
Oh, but President Trump is a dictator they all said! – look in the mirror you sick, sad, poor excuse for a man.
I am absolutely BOILING that this thing even has the GALL to even think about having this type of press conference after HIS FAILURE has left so many AMERICANS in harms way!
F this COVID BS!
Indeed. I’ve seen headless chickens with a better sense of direction
EXCELLENT COMPARISON!
They forgot to deploy the Jedi Mind Tricks first. These clowns can’t do anything right.
Joe keeps going back and forth from Delaware….one of these times he will go back to Delaware and not return. He’ll be out.
which one ? How many actors are doing jo these days ?
He’s probably moving the White House antiques to his Delaware house while he still can.
a sick, twisted, demented
SENILE JOKE
at every level!
We don’t know of these refugees from Adam, and they are flooding our country without any processing for identification, country of origin, etc. Just because they’re in Afghanistan doesn’t mean they are Afgans.
And if Afghan, it doesn’t mean they are not Taliban.
Actually, despite all the hyperventilating, my suspicion is that the taliban would prefer to have every last American citizen OUT of their country ASAP. Afghanis who helped us are another story, but Americans? They would be better off without them so they can slip quietly back into the 12th Century.
Jesus, please give us More Audit Op Tempo.
And Fast.
