Lloyd Austin is the U.S. Secretary of Defense. Lloyd Austin is responsible for the U.S. military and pentagon response to the crisis in Afghanistan. Secretary Austin is the woke, highly political hire within the Biden administration, and it is his responsibility to weaken the U.S. military and infect the institution through a process of advanced cultural Marxism (political correctness).
The collapse of security and stability within Afghanistan is ultimately a distraction from the purpose of Lloyd Austin. From the perspective of international security and advanced, strategic U.S. military operations, this is not his forte’. Austin is currently attempting to fulfill an obligation that is way over his head.
The guiding hands behind Biden, the Chicago Marxist system that installed Barack Obama, have a primary objective for Secretary Austin to weaken the U.S. military from within, and by consequence, remove the strategic value of American power on a global stage. That is his purpose. That is his function. They did not anticipate the issues within Afghanistan ¹spotlighting his incompetence. Many people are scrambling to prop him up.
In essence, the eruption of the current crisis in Afghanistan has become a risk to the domestic control agents. The visible ineptitude of Austin on a global stage puts his position in a spotlight that makes the ideological team uncomfortable. If too many people notice the incompetence of Austin in the role of defense secretary, Americans might start to ask questions about his real primary objective.
The crisis in Afghanistan must be resolved quickly if Austin is going to return to his primary function unscathed. That’s the priority. That’s the reason for the scale of effort to protect Austin, especially by U.S. media. Secretary Austin is relying on allied forces to do the operational heavy lifting, because he knows he needs to hide his lack of competence for any massive institutional mission.
If you listen to his words [Video Interview Here], you can see this psychological appeal for help from others; including the interviewer:
.
¹The key reference for the visibility of Lloyd Austin’s incompetence is below:
Americans need to start facing the reality that this Afghanistan debacle isn’t just incompetence..
Just like the national security & humanitarian disaster on our southern border, the destruction of our newfound energy independence, the capitulation to Xi & Putin, the killing of Trump’s V Shaped recovery and the renewed regulatory assault on the private sector. . . . this is all DELIBERATE and Dopey Joe doesn’t have the slightest clue what’s going on because he ain’t calling the shots.
Forces of evil are running our country.
Stolen Elections Have Consequences.
I was once told that when ever you read a fortune from the cookie, end it with “In Bed”, it will put a smile on your face.
Agreed, they know exactly what they are doing.
Stolen election ——> stolen country
Goodbye sweet America
Assange and Snowden showed us what was going on, and James Files (shooter on the grassy knoll) told us just after JFK was shot by him
God help U.S.
Joe Biden is happy?
1) He has no clue what he just did.
2) he has no clue what is going on now.
3) ever since he became “acting” President his every move and word has been told to him.
4) His world exists of being led around all the time and told what to do and say.
He is mentally totally gone gone…..advanced Dementia state now.
Adcanced Dementia people only can exist between 10 and 5 pm in a day. Notice he has no appointments or work outside these times. Confusion sets in by supper time.
This whole thing from the Communist/Fascist/Totalitarians now in control of the USA is part of their destroy middle-class America plan. The fact there are rigged, fraudulent elections tell us that much.
They put incompetent people (Biden/Harris an example) to facilitate their plan. People get all amped-up about all their dolts which takes attention off the real substantive crux which is destroying Constitutional USA. What is the real nitty-gritty from their standpoint?
It is successfully takeover the Constitutional United States government and avoid GITMO while doing so. All else is tabloid by comparison. The American people need to wake-up and stop focusing on the bouncing ball. It is the machine putting out the bouncing ball which needs focus. All else is mere distraction, including Afghanistan.
Totally agree, Raheem from War Room says the same.

(From all the way back to December, 2003)
“What good is America doing here?” I’d often ask myself during my Special Forces A-Team’s recent extended deployment in Afghanistan. My team’s mission was uncomplicated: to prevent the Taliban and al-Qaeda from reestablishing themselves in the country. It was America’s overall goals and the possibility of achieving them that I questioned. Just how willing should we American taxpayers be to spend countless billions of our dollars on a changeless, hopeless country that we never gave much of a hoot about before 9-11?
There is no question that we had the right and imperative to attack Afghanistan in October 2001 when the Taliban leadership refused to turn over Osama and his buddies. Lickety-split, we occupied the country, with remnants of the defeated terrorists finding safe haven in Pakistan. The thrashing was two years ago, and we still have 8,000-plus troops in Afghanistan (and 2,000 more in support in Uzbekistan) at an occupation cost of nearly a billion dollars a month. Nation-building, we are told, is the justification, thus creating a stable, free society in which terrorists would not be welcomed or sponsored.
First, it might be just a bit presumptuous of us to believe that we can build a nation where, instead of there being a tight weave of a united populace, there has always been a loose scattering of feudal warlordruled tribes whom we clump together as a country more for geography and culture than for nationalism.
Second, it might be even more presumptuous of us to assume that we can make democratic freedom flower where for two thousand years the people have never shown an inclination themselves to plow that ground and sow those seeds. It makes me wonder if the academic and bureaucratic hacks who sold our political and military leaders on this pipe-dream concept of nation-building and freedom-farming weren’t packing their pipes with hallucinogenic Afghani hashish. What they’ve left out of the equation is the concept’s fatal flaw: the Afghan culture itself. I cannot imagine how we can build a nation in a culture of disparate tribes who disdain one another and unite only to expel pesky invaders, like the British and Russians. American troops and money (millions in bribes to the war ….. . ..
“We were devoid of a fundamental understanding of Afghanistan — we didn’t know what we were doing,” Douglas Lute, a three-star Army general who served as the White House’s Afghan war czar during the Bush and Obama administrations, told government interviewers in 2015. He added: “What are we trying to do here? We didn’t have the foggiest notion of what we were undertaking.”
“If the American people knew the magnitude of this dysfunction . . . 2,400 lives lost,” Lute added, blaming the deaths of U.S. military personnel on bureaucratic breakdowns among Congress, the Pentagon and the State Department. “Who will say this was in vain?”
“Every data point was altered to present the best picture possible,” Bob Crowley, an Army colonel who served as a senior counterinsurgency adviser to U.S. military commanders in 2013 and 2014, told government interviewers. “Surveys, for instance, were totally unreliable but reinforced that everything we were doing was right and we became a self-licking ice cream cone.”

Never fear! The military has it’s best warriors on it!
Please tell me that this is a meme and that these are not actual pictures of members of the US Military? PLEASE, I beg of you, tell me this is a joke!!
This is not a joke. And they are all on the fast track to become Generals. Just look at all the ribbons they have. They have more than George Patton.
I was proud to have 4 ribbons in my 3 years of service. (Nat’l Defense, both Vietnam, and a Good Conduct) They must be handing out ribbons now like candy at Halloween.
I doubt that these little flowers will ever put pumps on the ground in the Middle East, but, if they were ever captured, my guess is they would meet an even crueler end than our Ambassador in Benghazi.
God help us.
well it sure as Hades is not thew Israeli armed forces , their women are more confidence installing then USAA woke men!
Those ribbons are just participation trophies, no winners just losers.
Well….maybe if the enemy encountered these people they’d be laughing too hard to fight. Hey…it could happen!
Yes, it could happen, the ultimate PSYOP against any enemy.
Love that idea!
Do you think these people are brainwashed? Drugged? Mass psychoses? PsyOps?
We all know this is NOT NORMAL!
OK, now I’m worried.
Send them to Kabul. Lets see what they can do. …Hot stuffs…
Barf!!!
Buncha Buffalo Bills!
Didn’t realize there are that many mentally ill folks in the military.
“This is my rifle, this is my gun. This is for fighting, this is for fun….”
Oooops. Never mind.
As mental exercise, consider that the first leader of the FBI would have fit into that picture perfectly?
If reports are accurate, J.Edgar was a cross dresser? (And probably blackmailed because of it?)
Hoover had an army of blackmail experts. The FBI. Doubtful that anybody could win that game against him.
2 more and we have the dirty dozen, masters of disguise they need a special opp in Afghanistan to get two for one, need a gal or a guy CHECK.
Imagine sending one of them to negotiate with the Taliban.They would laugh their heads off just before they cut their heads off.They’d give”Pooters”a bad name.
All transgenders
Oh I’m really scared of these “warriors” but not in the way they hope.
The “Three Stooges” sold American and Afghani civilians out because they are fundamentally, morally & personally Backrupt! There is NO Excuse!
I’ve heard that expression this weekend. 100%
Send that african idiot over there to personally make sure every American gets back safe . And he should stay until the mission is finished .
Am I the only one who thinks Austin looks like
Kenan Thompson [from SNL] with glasses? 🙂
Reminds me of spongebob’s sidekick.
He kinda looks like Beetlejuice, aka the Mayor of Chicago.
Idi Amin is better at other things — like Hating YT, that’s what he was hired for–not so good on this Taliban stuff — but give him some YT to hate and he ready to go
When you time and again must steal elections eventually your incompetence manifests all over the place. There just are not enough smooth talkers out there to install to cover your tracks.
The most powerful military on the planet has succumbed to a handful of illiterate 3rd world goat herders.
H&HC, 2nd-16th: Yes, and then, there’s the Taliban.
Please insert a Smiley face here and on the reply below…..I haven’t figured out how to do it.
Thanks.
H&HC, 2nd-16th: Too late for me to edit my comment, above, but, here ya go: ?
The most expensive, and by far and away, military on the planet anyway.
Didn’t President Trump repeatedly say he’d invested $2 Trillion in our military during his Administration? Yet Austin wants us to believe we don’t have the capacity to rescue American citizens from a country we controlled just a month ago with 2,500 troops? Why are we having to ask permission of the Taliban to do I anything? This is frightening, so what comes next for our dear country?
Somebody’s got wealthy….. siphoning off the money
Afghanistan was one big money-laundering operation.
Just Like Our bogus education system.
Den of thieves
Actually to a group of idiot politicians.
The Polygarchy.
The US military didn’t lose to the Taliban. The were restrained, and then taken off the field by political forces.
Like in Vietnam, anywhere US forces met large enemy forces, the enemy got their asses kicked. They could take out the Taliban if there was the political will to do it.
Word Salad….
It’s deliberate alright.
As bread and butter SOPs the military destroy weapons /technology rather than leave it for the enemy.
A couple of lumps of C4 per Apache destroys the interesting bits forever, the drones even easier.
This is deliberate.
Even accepting all of what Sundance says above, I have a question. It is a serious question, so please do not just dismiss it out of hand.
Did we INTEND to leave thousands of American citizens behind for use as hostages?
Game it out. Austin would automatically say “we don’t have the capability” to rescue them. So, what might we give in exchange for them? Something that we might want to pass to a third party without anyone’s scrutiny? Maybe something we already gave them? Maybe something the taliban’s bosses (MB) could pass along to that third party(ies) with the taliban keeping a “commission” for their trouble? Could Austin’s incompetence in a crisis have made him useful for double duty?
Obama likes sending pallets of money.
In my humble opinion-
You Betcha!
the clueless appointees in all government go along to get along cardboard cutouts get better results, but I think we have plenty of infighting within the government, and all they know is how to set people up to fail, we saw it with trump always opposition from inside call them self resistance, we may be seeing the other side of the coin takes two to tango or someone wants a bigger cut of the action.
Everything regarding as to how the military left Afghanistan was deliberate. Leaving behind USA citizens was deliberate, but as to why, it’s a waiting game for the answer.
To leave them behind to be disappeared – publicly or not – or to become sex slaves (starting with the transgendered ones pictured above, I hope) will be the long draw out PLANNED event by WH in order to weaken our military in the world view; hence, to weaken USA as a super power. It’s the plan.
The left-behind people (now hostages) are just collateral damage to JoeBama et al. Lefties lack compassion. They could care less about any of the hostages. Talk is cheap to them and people are even cheaper. They are godless people, who kill babies for sport. What’s 15,000 more when you have already killed 60M.
They could care less. Austin will continue to spew cheap talk. Expect a false flag to change the subject.
All of the guilty conspirators are pure evil. May their judgment be sooner rather than later.
Will sources of the info coming out of Afghanistan today be cut off after 8/31? I don’t trust American telecom carriers.
Yes, the US must be knocked down in order for the Great Reset/NWO to occur.
Satan and his minions on the left have been quite busy.
Remember this is ALL a distraction. Certainly not for those used as sacrifices to the cult as the distraction, but this is ALL to distract from the Big Steal.
No matter how many people the Rulers murder as a distraction we must stay focused on the main issue. Sometimes the only fix is to let the fires burn until you first stop the arsonists. This is one of those times. Don’t lose focus on the audits and taking back the nation.
Yes. ALL DISTRACTION.
There is only the certainty of the polygarchic incompetence — incompetence of the federal officials, non-profits, coporatistas and the ever-writhing and prevaricating parasitic elected cohort.
In Afghanistan a more cryptic underlying strategic move operating amidst the morass of stupidity and incompetence may yet flip all this on its head. I don’t know what they are but I suspect there are several. We need to look to our own society. There is much to do here.
All eyes need to stay on the 5th Column-led election tampering and the apparent transnational infiltration of the 2020 election. This is where OUR story is playing out. This is where our future ends if not rescued from the infiltration and monopolization by apparent organized cabalesque racketeering that seems to have broadly infiltrated our institutions, our highest offices and executive structures.
The political parties are just corporations run like a religion by people worshiping themselves, monetizing narcissistic supply on grand scale.
The people’s business has been treated like the Afghanistan pullout for several decades now. The people who “did” the Afghanistan pullout disaster of the last few days have been practicing on our republic for decades.
Go woked, get chocked.
George Patton, Douglas Macarthur, Norman Schwarzkopf Jr. would never have condoned Lloyd Austin’s actions. USA founded by Geniuses only to be ruined by Idiots.
I’m sure many within do not approve now!
Paraphrasing PDJT, to be woke is to be a loser.
This fat-headed loser has no idea what to do. He’s the Secretary of Defensiveness.
Paging Jim Mattis.
He’s too busy admiring the autographed picture Joe Biden sent him.

Wow! Well I hope he’s satisfied with America last. Jerk!
.
The right, left, and center all trying to outsmart, outgun, or outrun each other makes for a ‘Three Stooges’-like production.
1) The Afghans who claimed allegiance to a ‘United’ army in their country;
2) The Afghans who welcomed Americans in in order to get in on the money schemes (including, dare I say, some of these interpreters);
3) The bulk of the Afghani people who just want to be left alone . . .
Here in the US, we have the same factions, and as has been previously delineated by Sundance, the present administration is not copacetic within itself, behind just one of 1, 2, 3 above.
The DoD faction ostensibly should be supportive of number one.
Surely, the State Department is a number two operative.
So, just whom is aligned with number three — here, in our country . . . .
The same group over here- the people who just want to be left alone.
The most dangerous person is one who just wants to be left alone but is thrust in a situation where they no longer have anything to lose. Britain found out the hard way over 200 years ago about men who just want to be left alone.
Apparently more worry about protecting their chess piece, Lloyd Austin than all of the Americans trapped in Afghanistan.
In a functional Republic these idiots would’ve all resigned in disgrace.
This isn’t a functioning republic anymore, the republic is dead at the moment.
Only time will tell if Americans have the guts and willpower to bring the republic back to what it once was.
Would be great to crowdsource SecDef HazmatSuit financial ties to CCP, Mullahs and TolliBon. $$$$$
Valerie Jarrett is sure quiet.
Most vipers are
Not really. She just sounds like screams and C-17s.
All of them are…Obama, Clintons, Bush, Susan Rice, Cheney…
run silent run deep…state
Personally I don’t think they are incompetent. I think things like this are all done by design. They had one of the worlds biggest most secure air bases and they just left it all abandoned overnight. This was an ideal area to stage and evacuate all Americans and US forces but they just abandoned it. Now we have what we have at Kabul airport, pure chaos.
They want chaos, they want violence, they want despair. They want all of this. It takes eyes away from the Covid genocide. It takes eyes away from the recount effort. Panicked people falling off landing gear a thousand feet to their death is the topic everyone will talk about.
Nobody wants to talk about the CDC saying masks don’t work but wear them well because.
Agreed they all have their eyes focused on the objective.
The strategy is keep the people off guard with as many catastrophic events as possible in order to accomplish the objective.
The COVID scare, inflation, energy and fuel crisis, now this with Afghanistan not moves them closer to the objective but keeps up the turmoil, fear, stress and anxiety.
None of this incompetence it’s the plan.
The longer these poor people stay at the airport the worse it gets for them. According to Sky News many parents are being accidentally separated from their children during the chaos, pushing, and shoving so now they have created a wall of photos of missing children in hopes of reuniting them with their parents.
This guy is a diversity hire. Being competent is not required.
“deconflict”
What the hell does THAT mean? And why would anyone use a word like that? When our military “leaders” give mealy-mouthed DOS squishy answers … you know America is in BIG trouble.
“deconflict”
For Christ’s sake …
It’s new Commie speak
No matter what some in the administration do, this sorry excuse for a secdef, has proven time and time again that he is incompetent and has no business in the position. For that matter, his being promoted to general while on active duty is also questionable. Standards in the officer corps, must have really hit rock bottom. Affirmative action promotion.
Whenever I hear any of these Occupation Government stooges speak, I have only one thought:
“That’s not who we are.”
What military response?
Did the military bomb the Arizona Legislature?
the role and responsibility of the position that Austin currently fills does not and should never be about “making predictions”
it is one that looks at a seemingly impossible situation and then DELIBERATELY achieves a safe successful outcome.
the issue here isn’t so much that Austin is not qualified…
it’s a total breakdown of the entire military leadership to ASSERT it’s privileged power of expertise.
the intentions and rapid Taliban takeover of Afghanistan was known by everyone!
you would have had to be a complete jackwagon to not understand that threat.
the demobilization plan was shoddy…made worse by an incompetent military leadership who failed to maintain operational advantages. they lacked the fortitude to build in some flexibility into the withdrawal if forces.
it’s also well established the so called 300 would be a failure ..as they lost every single engagement .. district after district…with very little actual combat operations…not even so much as a slowing down effect…
this was loss of operational awareness and response!!!
at every level
that’s where the buck actual begins..
what we are seeing is an entire Galaxy of failures..on the ground..in the air…in the comms…about the leadership ..to the state dept…to the CIA/FBI…to the nat sec advisor…DID DIA…all the way to the president.
complete and utter failure.
Austin is right..the responsibility is shared…by thousands of people who when presented with a changing environment simply did not have the energy or integrity to respond and FORCE a solution
they waited… assumed it could never get worse… and then eventually turned away and refused to acknowledge the reality.
closed their eyes.
and let it spin out of control.
they let 75k motivated, coordinated, radicals shove them around.
and apparently still letting goat jumpers push them around.
this is a defeated military..spoiled by fancy gear, 3 hots and live Netflix…comfy ac… and nice benefits.
but no stomach or sack to actual do military work.
I’m so angry about this epic failure …it doesn’t feel any better knowing this would happen given all the signs were there the military leadership has been hollowed out.
Austin is there to dismantle the military. His concept of “Over-the-horizon” is 1,000 yards outside the concertina–the same view they have of America. His enemy is not the Taliban. It’s Toledo.
Its not a defeat (to you) if you sold afghanistan to china and pocketed your share.
But he looks the part, but cardboard cut out could save us money, when you watch him you wait to see a gecko in the frame.
Who gave the order to NOT destroy the equipment left in Afghanistan?
The Brilliant Generals at the Pentagon believed their creation, the mighty Afghan Army, that they birthed, raised, nurtured, mentored, trained for 19 years and paid, would be able to defeat the Taliban with all that equipment. Especially as the Brilliant Generals at the Pentagon were confident that the US Army had won the Hearts-and-Minds of the Afghan populous.
Um-no, not only no but no way in hell they believed that.
Had to be part of the plan from Obama…..known this would turn into a shi#t show…..but it went better than he expected.
0bama…sure as eggs are eggs..that’s my guess but it’s a guess that is 100% correct.
Destroy it? They are selling it to the highest bidder.
Yes. As was likely always the plan.
It’s obvious Biden et al considered the monetary transaction completed, thus the ghosting of the mission.
“Hunter Diplomacy” takes on a whole new meaning.
Diversity is a force multiplier. Not.
Well depends on whose side.
Our Cult of Diversity has been a pretty effective as a force multiplier for them in their war on us.
That Idi Amin looking stutterer needs to write a letter of resignation. Now.
There is no justification for this mess. It’s all about there agenda….and that’s to destroy the USA, and then take it over.
The Biden Cabal had 25,000 troops sitting in parking garages in DC for weeks to maximize the politics of 1/6. They could do this, but couldn’t keep a fraction of that force size in Afghanistan to help evacuate our friends and allies or secure the $100 Billion in US taxpayer funded military equipment that was surrendered by abandonment to the Taliban?
I think my first question is: “How much money did the Bidens get to facilitate or otherwise allow this mass surrender of proprietary military technology?”
I thought technology transfer was supposed to work differently.
When did competence become a criteria for a Government position?
It seems they are selected by “croney” factory and to what extend their moral values are missing
Total softball interview. No real follow-up. Austin said they inherited a May 1 deadline for withdrawal. They missed that by a mile and still were unprepared. Imagine if this was Trump’s SecDef. Affirmative action doesn’t work when the security of the nation is at stake.
…”primary objective for Secretary Austin to weaken the U.S. military from within, and by consequence, remove the strategic value of American power on a global stage.”
Nailed it!
Definitely not Patton. That last clip is telling. He had no answer and was searching for a lifeline. Wonder how he got to be a general? He probably takes orders well.
Hey Ya’ll, MUST see this article on zero hedge about an old Wikileaks dump on Afghanistan that makes more sense now.
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/wikileaks-reviews-few-its-greatest-hits-leaks-afghanistan
I read that. Very very eye opening.
Our withdrawal from Afghanistan and the way it was done – leaving all of our military equipment and technology behind, not destroying our Kabul Embassy personnel and other Intelligence data bases and equipment, not safely evacuating American citizens and contractors , and then bringing home Afghans of unknown security risk and health status and placing them within various military bases within our own country – all speaks to deliberate TREASON from the highest levels of the current administration and on down. There will be hell to pay !

CIA Report: Use feminism to reduce Western opposition to military occupation of #Afghanistan [2010]
3) Complex underground fortresses were built in the 1980’s with Osama bin Laden and CIA cooperation…
5) Sweden wanted to utilize bombing raids over Afghanistan to better market and promote a new fighter jet…
As a former combat infantryman in 68-69, I can say, without a doubt and unequivocally, that I would not follow either this blundering fool nor Gen. Milley out of a burning building…..let alone onto a battlefield. In my small part of the war, no one above the rank of Capt. every went outside the wire. The highest ranking officer I ever, personally witnessed in the field was a 1st Lieutenant and he was a total dumbass. That is our military’s problem, lack of real men to lead with boldness and commitment. Once career military officers reach the rank of Major, it’s all about butt kissing, back stabbing and star gazing.
mission creep:
missions directed by creeps.
your experience is one I also share.
my father served 3 combat tours in nam.
as a young Lt, greenhorn with zero combat experience…just balls the size of the ocean…
in every major combat operation he WAS there, right at the tip, LEADING , firing and getting fired upon.
THAT’S LEADERSHIP.
it was of course frowned upon…but who stopped him… lectured ad nauseam by his “peers” and “, uppers”
his response?
when I ask my guys to walk into hell, they’ll do it, and they do it with the highest effectiveness, because I am there…I AM THERR DADDY AND MOTHER. the moment I got off that plane, this entire infantry became my family…
My father has few regrets…but one of them certainly isn’t being a coward!
I love my father.
. he’s my hero.
and to anyone who has served your country…you KNOW THAT GUY in your outfit…
today’s a good day to call them…and just say thank you.
we all know who our heroes are.
thank them.
I can certainly relate to what you are saying. If I “followed orders” by these brilliant Generals I would not be alive today. My theme song was by the Bee Gee’s “Stay’n Alive”.
If his role is as important as diminishing the US military, you’d at least expect him to be able to respond to simple questions coherently if not lie more convincingly. He does neither. He looks around desperately for someone to rescue him from the “hard” question.
His “qualifications” are his rank and his race which are supposed to be immunize him from any challenges to his leadership ability and effectiveness.
That may work in woke world. It doesn’t in the real world. As Trump said, everything woke turns to ?.
“His “qualifications” are his rank and his race which are supposed to be immunize him from any challenges to his leadership ability and effectiveness.
That may work in woke world. It doesn’t in the real world.”
Nicely put. May end up in a future volume of the Decline and Fall of the United States of America.
When “wokeness”, skin color, sexual identity, gender and diversity are the sole basis of selecting your cabinet and other high ranking officials in an administration and not competence this is what happens! And it’s not good for the country!
Not good for the world either as China and Russia sharpen their knives to carve up more territory for themselves. Soon. Very soon.
China gets Asia, Russia gets Europe, we get the Americas. Seems I read about something like this in a book way back in 1984.
We have always been at war with Eastasia
Churchill and Stalin divided up Europe…didn’t they now?
Not to mention illegitimate, unelected, and crooked.
That’s an understatement!
But they are easier to manipulate when they aren’t the brightest bulb. Biden is a prime example.
There’s more to it than the ill-fated effort to defeat perceived racism with more racism. Progressives have been INTENTIONALLY promoting Black Americans to positions for which they are ill-suited for decades with the SPECIFIC PURPOSE of setting them up for failure. The Progressive message to Blacks is: “You really aren’t equipped to play in the White world, but if you vote for us, we’ll let you pretend you are. And if anyone dares to mention your failure, we’ll dismiss them as racists.”
God Bless the Black Americans who are waking up to this fakery and walking away from the evil Progressive Plantation. If this country is ever integrated, it will be these brave Black Americans who show us the way. Their task is herculean. They have to succeed, not only without the Black Political Establishment, but in spite of them.
People like Lloyd Austin, who sold out their race to Democrats just to be publicly paraded out as examples of Black incompetence disguised as “wokeness” and “progress”, are too deep in trees to get a glimpse of the forest. He will always imagine his “high level of achievement” helped his fellow Black Americans achieve more, even while he joins in the chorus who tear down Black Americans who succeed without the “Progressives” with names like”Uncle Tom” and “House N__”.
Larry Elder agrees with this comment.
Gen. Patton wouldn’t make it past ‘corporal’ in THIS woke joke of a military. In fact he’d probably get dishonorably discharged for all his “white rage” …
And… a lot of people suspect Patton was done in by traitors in his midst. The 1940s version of Arkancide.
Story I heard was:
that Patton’s car window was down;
he had been hunting and had wet dogs with him in the back seat.
Someone shot a projectile at him in the backseat that mortally injured him.
His driver was just fine, but Patton had been crippled and died. And Patton had threatened to go to DC and speak in public about what Stalin had been doing
