David Fox is an American trapped in Kabul who appeared on a video report with ABC to highlight the situation faced by thousands of Americans attempting to evacuate the region. While he was describing the dangerous situation around the Kabul airport, Mr. Fox also pointed out a very serious issue. ABC buried the lead….
According to his report, the U.S. State Department responded en masse to all the people trapped in Afghanistan reaching out for help.
The U.S. Embassy consular services department sent a document with instructions to assist Americans and eligible Afghans claiming Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) status. The document looks exactly like an approved VISA document except there is no filled in name, no serial number and no barcode.
As Mr. Fox notes, the document is easily able to be forged which makes the Kabul airport situation even worse, as it is likely the people who receive this response from the consular’s office will duplicate it and share it with friends or family who can then use it in an effort to get to the United States.
[WATCH ABC News video at 06:25]
.
Mr. Fox attributes this massive problem to bureaucratic “brainworms“, or a mistake by professional bureaucrats within the State Department trying to help but actually making things worse. However, there is a possibility it’s not a mistake. Perhaps this was done purposefully.
As previously noted by Lara Logan, outlining a position I happen to agree with {GO DEEP}, the growing scale of the crisis in Afghanistan cannot simply be chalked up to mistakes, snafu’s, blunders and errors in judgement. At some level it must be accepted that these events are happening because they are intended to happen.
While it is never a good idea to assign duplicitous motives to issues and events which can be more easily explained by stupid errors, the scale of the errors in this situation beggars belief.
When you think about the people within the chain-of-command inside the U.S. State Department, specifically the number of people currently assigned to review everything U.S. Embassy Kabul operations is conducting, this instruction to blitz a document to all applicants, that is so easy to duplicate had to be made intentionally.
Tens of thousands of fraudulent State Department documents showing up at the already overwhelmed gates of the Kabul airport will only make things exponentially more difficult to sort through.
Something like this is beyond FUBAR. This level of specific evacuation crisis is benefitting some purpose. Essentially, this “mistake” as outlined in the video above, is going to collapse any hope for an efficient evacuation with verified personnel.
We have seen this play out before [Bathtub Principle] where a crisis is created because the crisis has a purpose.
In Libya rather than Hillary Clinton and CIA Director Leon Panetta getting busted for selling surface-to-air missiles (SAMS) to al-Qaeda (Operation Zero Footprint), the State Department and CIA -essentially brother and sister agencies- helped “the Benghazi rebels” take over the Kadaffi weapons caches. If SAMS were then used elsewhere (Syria), well, they came from Kadaffi’s stores… see how that works?
Based on current political alignment, alliances, and the ideology behind who is in charge of specific U.S. government agencies, it can reasonably be assumed someone (insert Obama here) wants Pakistan and Iran to have advanced military technology via the stolen weapons we leave behind in Afghanistan.
Why?
Because those same people already made money selling advanced military tech to Iran, and this ‘crisis’ provides cover when it shows up later in their arsenal. (more)
“Something is going on”… Something much more consequential than appears at the surface.
We can see the ducks moving fast, but under the surface their feet are moving much faster.
These are the same I D I O T S who think it is OK to print your own ballots in elections and no photo ID should be required.
America: No Documents Needed
By AmericaWorking
Oct 14, 2016
“No documents needed”…………except for American Citizens.
to eat in a restaurant!
and for legal immigrants
… weeeelllllllllllll …
legal immigrants vote leftist, they mostly come from socialist countries these days … they continue here to support the same commie crap as in the old country …
Ilhan Omar, the Tlaib family, etc., etc.
Strange, we have several friends and acquaintances who are legal immigrants. Most are from socialist countries, they’re all conservative.
Unsure that is true
i never click spewtoob or farcebook or twitler links
Brilliant!
They are not idiots, this is intentional IMHO
This is such a farce. I’ve listened to Trump recently, and it’s obvious that he was playing hardball with the Afghani government all the way through the negotiations with them. That’s his style and it’s the only way to protect our best interests. And since he doesn’t describe the “hardball”, I’ll make the not-so-bold observation that this “hardball” consisted of threatening the Afghani government officials that if they didn’t do it our way, they and all their friends might wind up under the blade of the Taliban (and Trump could surely make this outcome certain).
No safe getaway. No Swiss bank account stuffed with US government cash. No satchels full of gold bullion. No quiet retirement in Monaco. No Blackhawk flight out of Kabul. Just a Trumpian tip to the Taliban as to their location, at the appropriate time.
You wonder why those corrupt thugs were doing what Trump wanted? It wasn’t due to the kindness in their hearts, rest assured. He turned the tables on them, just like he did with every other negotiation. When he has leverage, he uses it, and nothing sharpens the human mind quicker than the potential for a sharp blade to the neck.
There is no chance this chaos would have occurred absent election theft.
Because President Trump is FOR America; America First. The JoeBama administration is intent on destroying America. They are certainly doing a good job of making sure of that. Between the hundreds of thousands (I’m not exaggerating) illegal aliens they’ve been flying in on our taxpayer dime, and now the jihadi’s, they are determined to destroy western civilization and all Christians.
Just read their Quaran. It’s plain as anything. Or listen to the people who fled to America to escape Islam and Sharia law, like Bridgette Gabriel and so many others. They believe that we have no right to live. Think about that.
I don’t believe they are doing this because of Trump. THIS has been their plan all along, to destroy America. Obama was well on his way, and Hillery was supposed to finish us off. Trump just stepped in and halted what they were doing. They are just back to it.
Think you misread. Taliban was at the negotiating table because of President Trump
The day on which Obama rejected badly-needed European help in removing spilled oil from the Gulf of Mexico (from a damaged BP-owned rig that was severely affecting American states on the gulf) I knew we had a traitor in the Oval Office.
Now he’s moving the strings of the senile puppet he put in the Oval Office thru monstrous voting fraud.
What did the Rosenberg couple received for their treason that Obama hasn’t received … yet?
And who is moving Barry’s strings??
Who ever has the biggest bank account
Yes… Barry is “owned” too. He did what he was told to do. The question is who is the puppet master(s)?
Ask anybody who has had to negotiate with folks from the middle east. They are tough and sneaky. And if they sense you are weak, they’ll slow roll you all the way to the bank.
YES!
Have to be willing to say no, and live with the consequences!
Yep. And it’s a lie that the majority of moslems are peaceful and kind
I had dealings with moslems in 1993 where I worked. If what happened in 1993 happened today I and other employees involved would be fired for how we handled the situation.
That incident made me research moslems/Islam.
Yet I’m an islamophobe because I don’t like moslems……. especially ones who threaten to kill me.
You used the term moslem in your comment. What is the difference between a moslem and a muslim? I’m still not clear on definitions after researching different sources.
BTW I came across an interesting read called “Charlie Wilson’s War” a few years ago. Wilson was a Texas democrat who hated communism and started a program to arm the mujahideen during Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan back in the early 80s. The Soviets ended up pulling out of Afghanistan which I think led to the eventual collapse of the USSR in the late 80s and early 1990s. There were other things that caused the collapse of the Soviet Union; corruption in their gov’t being the main one. The mujahideen later morphed into Al Queda and the Taliban.
Hmmmm. Could history be repeating itself?
I don’t believe their leaders are honest or even regard “honor.” Any group of people who believe in Taqiyya cannot possibly understand absolute (unrelated to any religion) honor and integrity. Therefore one from another culture who does believe in honor and keeping one’s word regarding the spirit of the agreement cannot possibly negotiate in good faith with them.
Imo the Taliban will start killing Americans the same day the AZ audit report is released.
You did mean the Clowns In Action disguised as Taliban ?
Having covered AFG terrorists/Taliban for one of our intel agencies, I have a theory about how the TB could use any killings of Americans. NOTE: anyone with friends or loved ones there, stop reading now, as I don’t want to add to your fear, anger and despair with a theory.
Everyone else: I think the TB have or will kill Americans and film it, but not for immediate release. They will hold it for PR or recruiting purposes, but also to send us a steady diet of humilition and demoralization.
I think ideally they won’t want to release anything until Kamala is installed as president, she starts flapping her gums about being control, she’ll do things differently, the buck stop here (yeah rigght) Cue the video releases, totally knee capping her “administration.”
I see a sort of reverse Reagan and the Iranian hostage crisis: within hours of Reagan’s inauguration, Iran let our hostage go; within hours of being installed president, I think Kamala will be DISGRACED with killing videos.
Dear God: we need miracles–plural–right now…….
lets prosecute those who make fake vaccine cards, but not illegal aliens with fake visas.
how come no one is asking thepeople of delaware WHY they kept re-electing this POS?
The same reason people keep reelecting McConnell. They’re tribalist voter drones who don’t understand they’re both voting for a Uniparty.
I doubt Mitch really got re-elected. He got cheated in.
Right. Mitch didn’t win…. neither did Biden win for 47 years.
Quite often they have purchased their office from Dominion voting systems.
For example, with Mitch McConnell, after his “re-election” people would ask everyone they knew if they voted for him, they just could not believe it. The will of the people has been thwarted at least since the late 90s.
They picked the name Dominion for a reason.
Same for Graham in SC
Graham and McConnell are never primaried but yet they’re cheated in over a Dim? They both suck.
Graham is always primaried. The problem it is always 3 or more so the more conservative vote is split.
They had the choice between McConnell and some loonie D lesbian. Who would you choose?
Neither, they’re both Uniparty.
Again, the candidates are party selected to limit options for electors
In the “primaries.”
Suspect the same reasoning behind the identities of Vanguard and Blackrock.
C’mon man, have you seen the demographics of the congress critters? Especially the Senate?
Wilmington resident for 40 years here. In Delaware the Biden’s are like royalty. Their names are all over everything and they do no wrong. A Biden would never lose an election here. Ever.
HOW on earth did that happen? I know Ole Joe has been in office since I entered kindergarten!?
Perhaps it’s just proof that election fraud has been around a lot longer than we ever suspected.
LOL. As if the elections haven’t been rigged for many years.
Mail-in ballots, Visa applications, all the same. Just flood the zone and cover your illegal activity in the chaos.
in all the Clarissa Ward videos why do we have to see so much of her face– SHOW US what is happening, dont show us your face telling us what is happening.
That’s a good way for a camera crew to get harassed or shot. If they keep the camera pointed directly at the reporter they will probably be left alone. If they start pointing it at Taliban or activity they surely draw attention to themselves and would piss off some hot-tempered, itchy fingered maniac.
Think about it and put yourself in their situation. Just the fact that they’re getting away with reporting anything at all is lucky. Your hatred for CNN is clouding your reasoning. She’s gone anyway. CNN pulled her out.
Below, is an article by Michael Tracey, covering a lot of what he said on Tucker’s show last night. Points~ true size of the Afghan Army, ridiculous control of contractors, tremendous waste and complicity by our chain of command.
FTA: “What’s usually not appreciated, though, is that this kind of waste was a deeply ingrained feature of the entire war.”

Two million over the southern border. Half a million from the Stan?
Average IQ around 80.
In one year. Terrible times for our Country.
They all have to go back. Fraud vitiates everything. It’s time to end ALL immigration and rebuild our civilization by focusing on OUR people. You put your own oxygen mask on first, then you put your children’s mask on, then you help others. You do yourself first because if you go down trying to help someone else without having secured yourself, you will never help anyone else ever again.
Re Tucker piece – thing I don’t get is that Biden is tightly SCRIPTED at the Podium – WHO is having him say Al Queda is gone from Afgan ? Is he freeelancing – doubt it ~ Is his circle being isolated or is he being sabotaged or what ?
He most likely will be “Arkancided” but his handlers will say it was heart attack, stroke, Covid…whatever. And they’ll place the next puppet at the podium, etc;
In other words, he has served his purpose and the expiration date is quickly approaching.
Obammy will get as many of his ISIS, TALIBAN AND AL QUIADA in here via Southern border, and Afghan refugee asylum seekers, as the support group/backup for the tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of Muslim Brothers already here.
Again, while this country is maniacally absorbed with masks and inflated gas and food prices, crime and ” perceived ” social injustices, the Obammy goat herders are systematically positioning themselves for the destruction of America from within.
They are patient.
They are stalkers.
They are information gatherers, (thanks to the low IQ DC bureaucrats who are all too willing to sell any and all information).
They are your Dr., your nurse, your child’s teacher or professor, your friendly deli owner, a sanitation or utility employee, local government employee, etc;
In otherwords, they are already here and are everywhere…just thrilled that their “Brothers” are arriving on our shores to help to complete Obammy’s “fundamental transformation of America”.
Our DOJ, CONGRESS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICE now belong to Obammy and the goat herders.
Obammy knew the outcome. He threw a celebration bash, (aka a birthday party) after he gave the “go” orders.
God help us all.
So true! For Obama, America’s biggest problem was its constitutional system and the people who believed in it.
Both are now being altered as the Fourth Branch tightens its grip and executes its plan.
To see what Biden’s puppet-master Obama is likely up to with the Afghanistan debacle recall the incident in Obama’s first term when Muslim pirates boarded a commercial shipping vessel off the coast of Yemen, the Maersk Alabama, and took part of the crew hostage.
In a foreshadowing of Obama’s behavior in the Benghazi terror attack he tried to stop our quick reaction forces from mustering a quick response to the piracy attack but he was too slow. Seal teams were already en route to the Maersk Alabama where they got set up and took out the pirates.
My analysis at the time was that Obama, raised as a Muslim, had tried to block a military response because he wanted to use the Maersk Alabama incident to set a precedent for the paying of ransom for hostages taken by Muslim raiders.
Remember this is what America’s first foreign war was fought over (“the shores of Tripoli”), and Muslims (Obama), are always fixated first on trying to undo past losses. Bin Laden explained the 9/11 attacks as revenge for Christians taking back Moorish Spain.
Hostage taking and ransom demands are not just an integral part of traditional Islamic warfare, they are necessary for Islam to in any way to prosper because by themselves Islamic societies are inherently very unproductive. This is first because Muhammad made a religion out of criminality. He started as a caravan raider and turned it into a religion where the first cornerstone is the Koranic verse: “Booty has been made lawful for you.”
Instead of “thou shalt not steal,” Islam says: “thou shalt steal.” And on down to every other crime: thou shalt rape, though shalt murder, thou shalt bear false witness. Every crime is enabled if it advances Islamic conquest.
Crime is not productive. It is a parasite on the productive people, making a crime-based religion inherently unproductive. Secondly Islam is a totalitarian religion in the sense that it dictates endless details of everyday life, keeping Islamic society stuck in the stone-age patterns of Muhammad. Thus to prosper Islam has historically relied on exorbitant taxes (Jizya) extracted from subjugated non-Muslims (dhimmi Christians and Jews), and it has relied on booty and ransom from its relentless attacks on non-Muslims.
Islam is a predatory animal. If it can’t find prey it starves and Obama does not want it to starve. He wants it to conquer the world. So now, as the voice in sponge-brained Biden’s ear, Obama has arranged a military withdrawal that has left 10-40 thousand American civilians in Taliban hands, an absolutely massive haul of hostages, and Obama already has Biden promising that he is going to work with the Taliban to free these hostages.
Obviously this is setting up a transaction. Biden will be paying ransom money for the hostages, and don’t expect it to be anything less than multiple millions of dollars apiece. Obama already set the going price of a single hostage at $5billion plus 5 Taliban chiefs for the wretched traitor Bowe Bergdahl. I wouldn’t expect anything less than $10 million apiece for the current many thousands of hostages. That’s 20,000 hostages times $10m apiece = $200b. Anything less would be an insult to the Taliban, and it could go a lot higher.
After all, the Taliban will be setting the going price for hostage ransoms going forward so they have strong incentive to drive a hard bargain, while Biden, who has Taliban-ally Obama in his ear, will be driving a very soft bargain. Don’t be surprised if Biden tries to give them a trillion dollars with which to launch a thousand more hostage raids and terror attacks.

Biden’s Disney vision……. They’re just good folks, folks.
It’s a small world after all.
It’s a woke world after all.
This same ideology of raiding from the more productive is, I think inherent to the human condition. If you look at various indigenous tribes in North America it was extremely common to see certain tribes lived almost entirely by raiding other tribes, taking slaves and using women as sex slaves and slave labour and then reselling them or returning them to their families in exchange for a ransom. Think Apache raiders versus Mohave farmers as one example. And unfortunately the only solution to this ideology is to keep slaughtering enough of them that it finally dies.
Very true, but not part of the US government narrative.
They don’t teach the truth in government schools, just propaganda, which was quietly made legal in the US back in 2012 when the Smith-Mundt Act was changed.

Below, article entitled “The US Government Lied for Two Decades about Afghanistan” by Glenn Greenwald. Glenn was also on Tucker last night. His article cites the Michael Tracey story posted earlier. As usual, via their reporting, Glenn and Tucker seem to understand so many pieces of the puzzle, but never grasp the big picture.
https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-us-government-lied-for-two-decades
So true! To be honest, Tucker, in particular, sets my teeth on edge these days.
Isn’t California pushing print-at-home ballots for the Governor recall ?
Yes.
And the ballot envelope also has the hole punched in it to expose a “yes” vote. Turning the ballot around or folding it differently so as not to expose your vote, can also be taken as a “yes” vote.
dd_sc: The official “Sample Ballot” mailer also features a prominent red box, with text saying “Vote in the safety of your home by returning your Vote by Mail ballot.”
I’ll be voting in person, if they even “allow” people to vote in person.
s the Afghanistan situation continues to spiral out-of-control, it’s really time for Joe to go.
The blowback from Nato partners about US incompetence will continue.
The problem is, who could then step-in or step-up?
Kamala (unlikeable), appears to have no keen interest in heavy lifting. The Gavin Newsom fundraiser apparently is her main focus.
General Milley found that he can’t lie his way out of this disaster.
Lloyd Austin seems like he most wants to get back to purging Type A males from the military.
Barack seems to like making money, while channeling his inner-Antifa; bomb-planting while remaining disguised.
Then there’s Dr. Jill Biden. Somebody must have given her the shiv on that Japan trip. Probably now heavily medicated and has had enough.
Pelosi knows her job and sources power from it. Why do more?
One would think the Senate Intelligence committee, or Congress generally needs to quickly respond.
It all sounds like some rambling 7th verse from Dylan’s “Highway 61” album.
The sad part of your comment is that no one mentioned has the mental capacity to analyze the problem and formulate a solution. Each the players are more narrowly focused on their self-interests.
If you had included Obama, I might not have made that comment. He might have the mental capacity, but his interests are nearly diametrically opposed to preserving our Republic
“One would think the Senate Intelligence committee, or Congress generally needs to quickly respond.”
Their silence is a good indication of their involvement.
Sundance has educated us on how malicious the “senate intel committee” is. Hard to find a nastier bunch of Uniparty thugs.
The problem is, who could then step-in or step-up?
Vice President Harris becomes president; it s the law of the land.
I think the dog, aka “heels up” realizes the bone she ‘s coveted is too big and she really doesn’t want to work at it.
She “may” gratuitously” step in for a few months, but I honestly think this is just too much for her average IQ to understand . Thus I see her resigning just before or after Joe’s departure.
She will be offered a golden parachute and retire comfortably like all of the other political parasites.
Think Susan Rice and Fancy Nancy might fill the void. Or, Obammy might ride in with his black hat, or head rag, to save the day.???
Her continued absence during this Afghan crisis is per sé Dereliction of Duty.
Which leaves us at Pelosi. How she’d love to be the first female President!
As old as Biden, she does not have a history of two aneurysms, stroke, brain surgery, 50 years of documented lies/plagiarism/incompetence/stupidity. She’s actually very sharp. Still. Too bad she is evil and diligently working hard to end America the Republic as we know it.
We’re ignoring the law of the land these days, and Kammy isn’t even a legal VP.
She can be a legal senator, but not a president or VP.
Seems nobody knows the US constitution anymore.
I doubt that anyone who is posting comments about these things is ignoring the law of the land.
Their speculation arises out of situational awareness.
Anyone who is situation-aware knows that the law of the land is no longer a useful reference point and has not been for some time.
Just occurred to me that Camilla might make Jill her veep….to honor the memory of Joey.

Free everything for all foreign invaders including passports and tax credits while Americans in Afghanistan are beaten worse
Sundance, I know you get all pissy for some reason when someone corrects your spelling, but the correctly spelled phrase is “buried the lede,” not “lead.”
Don’t know what you have against correct spelling, but we need to set an example and be as correct as possible in all we do.
What’s so hard about that?
? And I thought “lede” was a misspelling! You learn something every day…
It’s a slang term journalists came up with that made its way into the language. It is spelled incorrectly intentionally to differentiate from lead (the metal) which was being used in presses (what I was told once long ago, anyway).
Well, it ain’t 1950 and this isn’t a newspaper print shop. That’s why. Buried the lead.
“Lede is a noun with an interesting history. It originated in newsrooms sometime between 1950 and 1970, where it was used as slang for the first sentence of a story. The Oxford English Dictionary put it in the 1950s, while Merriam Webster puts it around 1970.
Of course, lead in the sense of first or primary would work equally well here. In newsrooms of the past, however, lead also referred to the metal strip separating lines of print in the Linotype machines. The more leading that you included meant more white space on the page. If you subtracted lead or leading, there would be less white space between lines.
These two competing words caused regular and understandable confusion among newsroom workers, particularly the printers and typesetters, because they weren’t always able to distinguish the word from the text that needed to be printed.
Eventually, someone decided to use the spelling lede for the first sentence of the story.”
The word “lede” is newspaper slang and has no value any more. Maybe it should be erased from the dictionaries or at least defined as an obsolete term.
It’s your dime.
Yea well the use of lede in the past is pathetic, because in the current time it makes more sense to say they buried the lead….
Since the news trys to lead us versus informing us.
So I’m cool with making that phrase current and setting an example that language is a living process.
Bif Buffington, while you are being critical of others, please place punctuation outside the quotes.
For example, “buried the lede,” should be “buried the lede”,
And “lead.” should be “lead”.
Thank you.
No. I agree this was an utterly unnecessary post, but Bif’s punctuation is correct; yours is not.
I regularly read posts confusing “hoard” for “horde” and “boarder” for “border.” [This means this is an editorial note Justme: Yes, this is the correct punctuation.]
But I don’t say anything.
The all-time champion of confusion among all educational levels is “lose” and “loose.” That confusion pops up on the treehouse at least 4 times every day. Those who know the difference are a dwindling minority.
<Those who know the difference are a dwindling minority.>
They’re there if you know their location. 🙂
“Ending sentences with prepositions is an outrage up with which we shall not put.”
The boarder for border thing and coarse for course drives me nuts lol.
I love it here, truth, great commentary , that said can the spelling and grammar nazi’s take a break? There really is enough going on without sniping for grammar and spelling.
https://www.thepunctuationguide.com/quotation-marks.html
Not sure what style manual you are following, but commas and periods go inside the ending/closing quote mark in the US. Exclamation marks and question marks, semi-colons and colons go outside the closing quote mark. It does vary by country, and some things vary by style guide. I think the US primarily follows the Chicago style guide, but correct me if you are an English professor; I am not.
I’ve always thought that burying the lead meant that they buried what should have been the very first part of the report, the lead, not lede, of the report because it was the most important point in the story.
That is what it means, yes.
It’s not Sundance who is getting pissy.
Both are correct. “Lede” is more correct.
Of course they do…it’s all part of the plan.
The JoeBama administration is intent on destroying us and our country. They hate us.
I prefer to call it a “regime”.?
There are 3 known reported facts that stand out to me like laser dots. The first is that Britain’s Johnson tried to reach the White House and wasn’t successful…attempt rebuked more than once. Second, after Afghanistan imploded, it was reported that the p(resident) had not spoken to any leaders of other countries. And finally, this business with a government downloaded “visa document”. I believe this last one was intentionally designed to cause massive disruption within the conflagration that has occurred, military on the ground not knowing, or fooled into thinking, these papers were legitimate, thereby waving holders of them through onto available aircraft. While that’s a surmise on my part, if it looks like a duck….
This whole horrific event has the stench of a Lone Wolf operation, deliberate with every single step…planned and executed in darkened Washington rooms and basements. And from my perspective, the Lone Wolf is the United States. I cannot be convinced otherwise.
Sad how many in the chain of command have one along with these schemes and illegal orders, at home or Afghanistan. It’s all meant to demoralize us and it is thoroughly depressing.
I’ve said before in posts that I felt (more ore less) confidant that when/if push came to shove, our military would have our backs. I’ve been thoroughly disabused of that little fantasy. Self promoters and traitors all.
Add Justin having to discuss with $hrillary because nobody’s home at the WH.
Oh yes indeed…now that’s a BIG tell, isn’t it. Of what, though. All will become clearer I’m certain.
How do we know that Taliban fighters are not coming over on those planes with those fake visa’s or even using the passports that they are stealing from people, hell how do we know they are not coming in via the Southern border. Also, where the hell are the Republicans? If President Trump would just tweet out something that people didn’t like, Republicans would find every TV camera they could and denounce him. It’s shameful how silent Republicans are (with the exception of a few) about this Biden sh1t show.
If Taliban fighters are coming on the planes maybe they will storm the Whitehouse, or Congress? Hard to imagine what they would want to do here? We are destroying ourselves without any help necessary.
We vote gop in Pennsylvania bc we have no choice; we hope for the lessor of two evils.
Now Patriots are organizing to give ourselves better choices.
Ugh. This was in response to why we vote for losers. Heading back to bed. Obviously can’t betrusted to find trashcan icon.
I am convinced, beyond any doubt, that this is all PLANNED. Obama and his cohorts planned this. They propped Biden up, got him as a front man into White House, only to use him for awhile. Biden has served his purpose (whatever purpose it is), and now Obama is going into next phase of plan and get rid of him and install Kamala for next phase, whatever that is. I don’t think our country can afford to sit around and wait to see.
Most Americans are sitting in disbelief, still waiting for that “punch line.” Still refuse to see what has happened and IS happening to our country…right before our eyes. People keep telling me “our military will NEVER let anything happen to us…..Americans will NEVER let anything happen “ but it IS! Our minds REFUSE to accept this reality. We keep waiting for the good guys to sweep in and stop it all. There’s just too many of the BAD guys.
My young son is in the military and I so fear for him. Not only for his personal safety, but for a split decision he may have to make soon…obey orders to shoot civilians who are marching in protest against our Communist rulers or KNOW what’s going on and put his gun down. We’ve had several conversations. I can’t tell him what to do….only try to educate him and make him AWARE. The military is so infiltrated as well.
I don’t think I’ve ever prayed so hard in my life as I’m doing now!
We have the same sit rep too…..
If it helps I will join you in prayer. God Bless you and your son.
Sad. I’m sorry. My oldest just got his selective service registration, and we’re a military family both sides, but neither of us feels good about any of our kids being of that age or enlisting given the current state of affairs. I hate to even say this “out loud.”
That will hopefully not be necessary.
Patel Patriot has raised the issue of “Devolution” in order for Trump to set things right:

Thank you for your son’s service! He is still a hero!
It seems pretty clear that JoeBama made a deal with the Taliban to guarantee Americans safe passage to the airport. Surprise, surprise that’s not happening. Our western allies weren’t in on it so they are going and getting their citizens.
This safe passage charade will play out for a bit until Taliban decide to start treating Americans as hostage cash cows…
All the while the planes full of our wonderful allies/Taliban continue to fly out for eventual resettlement in a town near you.
It may be as simple as the administration today knows that they can use these “Refugees” as part of their “brown shirt” army against us when the time comes.
For every terrorist imported, you need several, say, up to 16 Police, “Intellignce,” and Military. And, that is if they are competent, and, leadership is not compromised.
Now do the math on what is being imported vis a vie troops and police here.
Don’t forget to add infiltrators already here. That unto itself is an army.
On 9/11 they only needed 19 terrorists to knock us on our ass. The potential for something even worse to happen is exponentially higher now. We all need to be on guard going forward as we were on 9/12/2001 only this time we can’t count on our government to have our backs.
The terrorism event Joe has planned for 9/11 only works if he can shape the narrative that PDJT botched this AND this is why the we got attacked on 9/11.
The reporters on the ground there put a huge dent into this, hopefully enough to make Joe cancel his 9/11 plans.
My brain. I just can’t. The world has gone mad. Every day my brain is taxed with trying to decide what’s real, what’s not real, what’s contrived, what’s not contrived, what’s next, truth, not true, what’s believable and what’s unbelievable. It’s exhausting. And just when you think you have landed in a spot where you can relax for a second, you read this and it just spins all you thought before out the window. How can this be true? Who the hell decided to do this? I want that answer.
joe Biden heading back to Delaware has made me sick to my stomach. I don’t know how much more we as a country should tolerate his abdication of his duties and the abject failure to protect us from foreign actors. I pray for those left in Afghanistan and our own future.
Queen, you are not alone, and this is all designed to keep us off balance and demoralized. Satan lurks. I have sent sick the past two weeks. When at my worst, unplugging from internet and binging did me a world of good. I highly recommend a news vacation now and then!
Haven’t you ever seen an invasion of the United States? That’s right, the people escaping are not escaping. They are invading. Think about the southern boarder. Now, put them both together.
Sorry, but when Tucker says about the media that “without these people he (Biden) would not be president” I am reminded that Tucker is still a Fox Stooge of the highest order. That statement basically ,once again and for all time, negates him and condemns him. Election fraud thy name is Tucker.
He is only allowed to tell you some of the truth.
Have you ever noticed what the Fox closed captioning refuses to print? It is a politically correct, democrat-biased machine/group (however that is produced). So, the hard-of-hearing/deaf on Fox News don’t know the evil that IS being reported. Perhaps MSNBC does the closed captioning for Fox, at the request of the Murdoch brothers. I can hear AND read, and notice this redaction frequently. Part of the cabal.
Absolutely right! Fox aided and abetted the steal with their early AZ call, Tucker himself reported the ATL “pipe burst” story with a straight face. He’s part of the farce.
I try to cut people slack on initial disbelief. A lot of people who have respect for law and order embedded in their culture and who come into contact only with the likeminded are only just now getting any inkling that there are many, many people who do not. Those seeking to destroy us see rule of law and constitution as weapons to be wielded against us when convenient and irrelevancies to be ignored when inconvenient. It is an emotionally painful enlightening for many. They WANT to not believe that there are many people inside what used to be our borders who want to end us.
The paper might possibly be watermarked.
Well, lookee here. American citizens are supposed to give up our guns, but the Taliban are GIVEN our own soldiers’ guns and allowed to have for free, all of our other weapons of war.
When the next gun ban cry surfaces from these traitors LET’s all remember what the dirty leftists did and do more than scream it to the rooftops!!
I seriously doubt this was a mistake.
So, let us make sure we find out where these folks are going to be dropped.
The we get documents made that use their language that says:
Welcome to the USA. When you are given the chance to vote please remember that the people who screwed up and let the Taliban run loose and chase you out of your country are for the most part democrats. Please don’t vote democrat if you want to stay free. Because they are screwing up this country too and we need your help to stop them
Just be glad they are not sending printable blank mail in ballots.
LOL
At this point, I wouldn’t doubt it…
It looks like it ought to be from The Babylon Bee or The Onion.
But now we know anything, ANYTHING, is possible.
Maybe the deep state is setting up a plea deal: we will dump Biden (because the Afganistan debacle) and you all get rid of fraudulently elected Biden and now you wont proceed with the AUDITS which will reveal “too much” and “damage the country”. DEAL???????
“Based on current political alignment, alliances, and the ideology behind who is in charge of specific U.S. government agencies, it can reasonably be assumed someone (insert Obama here) wants Pakistan and Iran to have advanced military technology via the stolen weapons we leave behind in Afghanistan.
Why? “
ISRAEL
OBAMA HATES ISRAEL
There is absolutely no way this was a mistake. It was 100% intentional. This is a free pass for Taliban operatives to get into the US where they can plot and carry out deadly attacks against Americans on our soil.
Our government hates our country and the everyday people who make it an exceptional nation. They want us to be slaves to their vision of simply being just another country that they can exploit for their personal gain. They are to us what Hitler and Stalin were to The Greatest Generation. It’s up to us to confront and defeat this enemy.
The state department are just a collection of idiots. They are idiots with fancy diploma. They have no business being there.
Don’t be fooled. The State Department is grad school for grifters and full of scumbags who have no problem selling anyone out for dollar.
When you think of an embassy, think Ravenite Social club. Rats, murder, drug dealers, thieves, racketeering, bribes, etc. etc.
Gotti was an alter boy compared to this group.
Feature, not a bug.
For all we know, half the Afghanis on that first plane load were Taliban. And there is no telling how many Taliban were already here even before now because they’re not vetting the people coming across our Southern border either. Or the Northern border either, for that matter. Washington hates us. That’s all there is to it.
no one stood when the republicans illegally installed obama as president, dont expect any of them to stand now.
I’m sure ‘they’ have been prepared for the likelihood that Biden’s senility would necessitate a change. How, when and why would present different scenarios. Afghanistan may indeed have been planned this way. However, it seems that the Obama cabal doesn’t seem anymore deep thinking than any other criminal element. Remember “shovel ready jobs”? We know about Benghazi, the Russia hoax, the stolen election….and we know and are learning more and more about the covid scam. These people are not deep thinkers. They’re just thugs.
Sundance has been writing about “We know” for some time.
Knowing What We Know Now, We Must Remind Ourselves….
There Never Was a “Woods File” Underpinning The Carter Page FISA Application – Here’s How We Know…

It is beginning to look like the underlying purpose of the plandemic, the riots and the stolen election was to open the border and complete the replacement of the American people with a brown Third World lumpenproletariat that is non-American, un-American and anti-American. The collapse of Afghanistan fits neatly into this scenario, in that thousands of Americans will be left behind in that country and killed or enslaved, while dozens or hundreds of thousands of Afghanis, many of them trained agents and jihadis, will join the isunami of invaders to more than take the place of the lost citizens. This will accelerate the ongoing execution of the Coudenhove-Kalergi plan by which caucasians are to be replaced by a homogenous Afro-Asian population and Christianity is to be supplanted by mohammedanism, and will facilitate the “fundamental transformation” of the United States into a one-party socialist state dominated by Iran and China.
It is hard for me to believe the US Government does not know who the American’s are in Afghanistan because they haven’t “registered”.
I met a WW II vet 35 or 40 years ago and one of his war stories stuck with me.
He was an enlisted man on a ship in Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941. One of his worries that day was his wife was in Hawaii without permission. – – In fact Hawaii was still a territory in 1941 and he had been expressly told he couldn’t bring her to Hawaii.
When the attack was over and the wounded taken care of, he went to his superior admitted what he had done and asked permission to go a shore to check on his wife. Surprisingly he was told no.
Turns out the US Navy knew all along his wife was there. His superior said the Shore Patrol picked up his wife and had brought her back to base. She would be sent home as soon as transportation could be arranged.
If that could be done in 1941, imagine the resources the US has today. It is said the US have storage devices with all our information on every personal thing. Do you really think they are not keeping track of citizens going into and out of Afghanistan? Pleeease give me a break!
The CCP, the WEF, George Soros have been fighting an undeclared and plausibly deniable war against the US for 20 years and more. Like a parasitoid wasp (the ones whose sting paralyzes a much larger insect, turning it into a zombie, before laying its eggs on it, to eat their way through the host, saving the vital organs for last), the CCP has poisoned our banks, multinational corporations, news and entertainment, academic (both humanities and STEM), religious, civic, and political institutions. The poison? the opportunity to make money and be warmly treated by the totalitarian government of the world’s largest country by population, second largest and fastest growing by economic measures; a Greek chorus of Marxist academics and “intellectuals” to sing the praises of those who follow the script and advance the cause of political correctness. The ability of the poisoned to resist or change direction has been zombified: they must do as told or face financial and career ruin.
It appears the poison has reached even into our intelligence agencies, Justice, Defense and State Departments, who, as Sundance and Lara Logan know, have deliberately allowed and facilitated election theft and military and foreign policy catastrophe. Also, it has reached into the NIH, CDC, FDA and other public health organs, who helped the CCP develop bio weapons, then helped with clumsy efforts to cover it up, and have turned public health into a massive vaccine promotion scheme, even blocking the development of inexpensive, safe and effective early treatment protocols.
For Treepers, the curtain has long been pulled back. Our culture retains the firm foundations of Judeo-Christian religious and moral values, belief in liberty, the rule of law developed and enforced by limited and dispersed governmental power everywhere subject to checks and balances, including periodic free and fair elections by which corruption and incompetence can be thrown out. We retain our founders’ commitment to the values enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, always aspirational, never complete, each generation sharing the duty to fight for them and their own posterity in their own time.
I expect the undeclared war will soon become fully open. Our enemies have us over the barrel, our traditional culture everywhere under fire from our “Woke Culture,” the two cultures no longer sharing a sense of community together, that bond having been displaced by a wedge of animosity and intolerance. Our constitutional means of removing corrupt and incompetent leadership facing a Triumvirate of Dumb, Dumber, and Most Corrupt, in the line of succession.
Our Fed has adopted MMT, spewing out printed money by the tens of trillions, silently expanding its charter to manage the S&P, so that it can only go up, Up, UP, into Super Bubble land, while plotting with the WEF and other central banks to displace the dollar with a digital currency as the single international currency of choice. But watch the CCP plot to use its Zombie Sting to force use of ITS digital currency. And watch the hedge funds conspire to short the US dollar so George Soros can fulfill his dreams of “breaking” the US Treasury and Federal Reserve.
If there are ” Deep Patriots” left in positions of power within Biden’s failed Administration, surely now is the time to unleash our culture’s immune system, to reject the Zombie poison of the CCP, to make clear to the sheep where the predators are among us.
Durham? Election audits? State Attorney Generals? Local grand juries? Independent news organizations, and real journalists left within our existing news media system? Independent Scientific groups willing to stand up for scientific skepticism and transparency? Academics committed to heterodoxy?
Now is the time for all good men, women and whatever to come to the aid of our country.
My guess, the Taliban are letting Al Qaeda get on the planes headed to the US.
Win/win for them.
Did anyone else read the story about the Air Traffic Controller in Japan who was in contact with some buddies in Kabul who were doing civilian ATC for the airport. They were apparently told to evacuate but, were unable to due to the fact that many aircraft over Afghanistan were aborting their rescue missions unable to contact the ground. The military CCTs in the tower were not communicating with the aircraft overhead. Due to some snafu Kingpin in SC which controlled the air there was not in communication with Kabul tower. The guy in Japan using social media messaging and avoiding any classified stuff except one thing managed to communicate the correct radio frequencies through his buddies and some marines to the Combat Controllers so they could actually start landing aircraft. Was this really typical bureaucratic snafu or a deliberate attempt to make a crisis situation even worse? Or just chalk it up to Murphy’s Law?
This is all on purpose.
I agree with many commenters – the Uniparty is effectively bringing in the “Afghan Army” to coordinate with Antifa and BLM.
Fill them with hate via so-called “critical race theory”, turn them against White Americans.
Add to that, SecDef Austin’s purge of loyal Americans from the US Military – the remaining combination of the “foreign legion” + Antifa + BLM will be a few steps closer to a modern Brown Shirts force that will fire on American Citizens.
US Warns American Citizens To Avoid Kabul Airport One Day After Biden Reassures That All Is Well
21 Aug 2021
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/us-warns-american-citizens-avoid-kabul-airport-one-day-after-biden-reassures-all-well
One day after the dementia-ridden president lied to Americans and billions watching around the world that he has “no indication that [Americans] haven’t been able to get, in Kabul, through the airport,” when asked about evacuating Americans who were unable to reach the only safe place in the Taliban-overrun caliphate, just 12 hours later (or 2-3 days in Biden time) on Saturday the US embassy in Kabul, or rather what’s left of it as it is now officially located at the airport having handed over the actual embassy building to the militant Sunnis, advised Americans in Afghanistan to avoid traveling to Kabul airport, adding that authorities will contact all registered U.S. citizens with further instructions as the situation updates.
“Because of potential security threats outside the gates at the Kabul airport, we are advising U.S. citizens to avoid traveling to the airport and to avoid airport gates at this time unless you receive individual instructions from a U.S. government representative to do so,” the embassy posted Saturday morning.
To the thousands of desperate US citizens gathered trying to flee the country the instructions to wait – perhaps until General Milley is finished reading the collected works of Mao Zedong – will come as merely the latest slap in the face by an administration that has rightfully earned international scorn and mockery for its unprecedented botching of the Afghan withdrawal.
Adding to the chaos, overnight the Post reported (the real one, not that Amazon garbage) that in the latest blow to those running up against the clock, Afghan-Americans on Thursday said that Taliban fighters are now attempting to take their U.S. passports and identification orders in an attempt to stop them from leaving the country.
“I got to the gates and was about to show my passport, but the Taliban got it, and he said you are not allowed to go through and wouldn’t give it back,” one Afghan-American, who served for several years as an interpreter during the war and has his home in the U.S but requested anonymity for safety reasons, said. “I was lucky a U.S. marine was right there and forced him to give it back.” But some have not been so lucky — hamstringing their chance to make it home ahead of the Taliban’s officially assuming of the throne.
“U.S. passports, driver’s licenses — they are confiscating those pieces of documentation from American citizens,” said Ephraim Mattos, a former Navy SEAL and founder of the humanitarian organization, Stronghold Rescue and Relief, which is working around the clock to evacuate Afghans interpreters and helpers. “They lose proof of who they are, and this has happened on multiple occasions in multiple places.”
Everything done with a purpose…….on purpose
Mode of Operation by the corrupt Communist politicians
Not wasting another crisis. The media has latched onto “what about those poor refugees? What are we doing to help them” narrative and the woke state department sees a chance to add tens of thousands of anyone not white in Afghanistan to get into the US. I’m sorry but that’s what it boils down to. This “visa” is a work around of chain migration. This isn’t another blunder this is intentional. Have you heard anyone in the MSM talking about the billions of dollars of high tech military equipment now in Taliban hands? No its all babies torn from mothers, Taliban thuggery and “what about the refugees”.
and I noticed that Ben Domenech tweeted that it was racist to even contemplate that any of these Afghan refugees might become terrorists –
I mean, just . . . . shut up!
(he is probably real sore about the image of the Federalist Society blighted by revelations of what idiots they recommended)
Susan………
I am pretty sure that The Federalist website is not part of the Federalist Society.
thank you, maggie0987 . . . I admit that I mistakenly “conflated” the two, thinking that he might be annoyed with Trump voters “America First” and anti-vaccine-mandate people who have been appalled at the way we have wound up with these people on the SOTUS that were recommended by The Federalist Society (not “the Federalist website” that Ben Domenech has)
Yep, everything is intentional. SD says, “We have seen this play out before [Bathtub Principle] where a crisis is created because the crisis has a purpose”. The dems are ate up with political munchausen. They create a problem, blame everyone but themselves for the problem and then, run to the first msm reporter they can find with a camera and proclaim that they have the ONLY solution to the problem.
“While it is never a good idea to assign duplicitous motives to issues and events which can be more easily explained by stupid errors, the scale of the errors in this situation beggars belief.“
I thought the exact same thing; about Covid. Designed to fail.
Let’s apply Occam’s Razor to the dumpster fire going on in Afghanistan.
Which is the more likely scenario?
Biden and his corrupt to the bone team are really this incompetent,
or
This is all being done on purpose.
I have my thoughts on the matter. I will leave you to make up your own mind.
