The term “indulgency fee” is so much more appealing than “extortion“, just ask U.S. Ambassador John Christopher Stevens; oh,…wait. I digress.
It is being reported that CIA Director William Burns flew to Afghanistan to negotiate with Taliban leadership yesterday. Earlier today, Joe Biden tells the G7 nations that he is sticking to the August 31st withdrawal deadline imposed by the Taliban who are in control of almost all regions of the country including the capital city of Kabul.
For future reference, remember this CIA meeting with Taliban leadership in case the administration ever tries to say we do not negotiate with terrorists. The Biden administration doesn’t have a choice. The Taliban circle the airport in Kabul. The Taliban have U.S. made advanced technology surface-to-air missiles (SAMS) that we left with the Afghan army before their defeat. As a consequence, the Taliban could easily begin shooting down any airplane attempting to take-off or land from the airport…
Hence… CIA Director Burns is almost certainly negotiating payment terms with the Taliban for safe passage. We can only imagine how much money the Biden administration is paying the Taliban leadership to permit ongoing operations at the Kabul airport. Think about how much Biden would pay to avoid the optics of a U.S. airplane carrying hundreds of Americans being blown out of the sky on CNN and BBC news. That is how much we are paying.
Biden is telling everyone at the G7 he is sticking to the August 31st deadline date. Biden addressed the leaders on the call for about seven minutes. The NATO allies are worried they will not be able to get their people out. However, undoubtedly the extraction of Americans and allies AFTER August 31st is part of the agreement between the CIA (on behalf of Biden) and Taliban leaders.
The Taliban are not stupid, they have all the leverage in this dynamic. The Taliban know this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to gain massive ransom payments without the international media visibility of physically holding hostages. They also know the desperation of the Biden administration to avoid any painful optics.
Earlier today, the Taliban announced they will not permit Afghan nationals to travel to the airport in Kabul. The Taliban are not going to permit U.S. embassy staff who are Afghan nationals to leave.
BBC is reporting that Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Majahid said: “Afghans should not go to the airport or try to leave the country.” At the press briefing, Zabihullah Mujahid also said, “Women should stay at home for now, for their safety.” The Taliban spokesman added it would be a “violation” of the agreement to allow evacuations of foreign nationals beyond the 31st of August.
This is the problem with, and motive for, the Biden administration refusing to quantify the number of Americans and SIV’s who remain in Afghanistan. As long as the American public do not know how many are there, the administration can use any arbitrary number to claim they have all been removed regardless of their actual disposition.
If you don’t think a Democrat administration is willing to sacrifice a few thousand pesky Americans to save themselves the political issues of their abandonment; and if you think the Democrats are genuinely worried about the disposition of Afghan nationals that will likely be killed silently by Taliban enforcers…. please, remind yourself of Benghazi.
How long until the Taliban is put in charge of the UN Human Rights Council?
Don’t give ’em any ideas…
Cuba, Russia and China would have to be replaced. Upgrade, downgrade or lateral movement? Heck, put em all at the table and they can play Kings in the Corner, according to Hoyle but of course.
So we are paying the “Jizya” now? What next?
Dead bodies…cause the entire Muslim history is unrestrained murder.
So it follows they are a millennium and a half overdue for extinction.
I’m always amused by “you can’t kill a billion people”.
Sure ya can.
You just have to decide it must be done.
Islam is to Humanity and Human Rights as anti-matter is to matter – they can not exist in the same place at the same time.
and yet they both do, until they don’t
the analogy is perfect

How many plane loads of cash are the Clown In Action towing along with them ?
More like how many loads of gold and advanced weapons.
I weep for my country.
Why?
Tears do nothing.
Rage backed by bullets and blood might.
“A time to kill…A time to weep…” one is not exclusive to the other; but each has its time, I weep that there is such darkness and evil in high places. And to extinguish that darkness will require a liquid that is not clear, nor salty.
We don’t need weepers, only riflemen with the goal of restoring the Republic.
Can the Taliban trust Biden to obey orders?
Let’s not be too hasty to assume CIA Director Burns is negotiating payment terms with the Taliban.
He might have only been providing manuals for all the military equipment.
And here’s the number to call for spare parts.
Negotiating Biden’s cut. Also, Hunter to be on the board of Opium Inc.
Brilliant!
Ouch…that could be a truth we never want to learn!
Guinness World Records
Biden finally makes it big. He is the first American president to create a well-equipped army and air force for a terrorist organization!
It’s Obama, Jarrett and Rice taking orders from Soros who is being directed by the “elites”. Biden is just a dumbass being used totally. It’s sickening…. all of it.
I know that the only way the fake president won was because of the election being stolen, but really how can any sane person in this country actually vote for Biden and the democrats ? Our country is in such a sorry state when one political party does not value the life of their American countryman. Very very sad.
Why did they hate Trump?
Answer that honestly and you have your answer.
That is why I deeply suspect all Trump Critics here Inda House.
It starts with not valuing the lives of innocent babies in the womb.
magatrump, we have TWO parties that do not value lives of Americans. Never forget!! Benghazi, now Kabul. What’s next?
One possible answer could be that voter fraud has been happening in america much longer than we currently realize.
Probably since the days of our 7th President, Andrew Jackson.
As a Chicagoan, I confirm that is so. When you lose so often to crooked voting, you give up trying. I don’t think a Republican ran for mayor here in oven to 20 years.
“…how can any sane person in this country actually vote for Biden and the democrats…”
It wasn’t the sane people who voted for them.

China Joe Biden became president with the help of the CIA and FBI. Let that sink in.
And the military. Let THAT fact sink in.
CCP was elevated to a place of influence with western worlds because the IC looked at “the big picture” and made a decision to advance it.
let that sink in
protip: the mission of the CIA is not merely to inform political leadership and the military about the nature and threats…BUT HAS THE MISSION TO DISRUPT THOSE THREATS, RENDERING THEM INEFFECTIVE.
THE CIA HAS NEVER ONCE DONE A SINGLE ACTION TO BIND THE POWER OF CCP.
THE CIA DIDNT JUST ACQUIESCENCE TO A LOOMING THREAT
THE CIA ENABLED IT ..STRNGHTENED IT!
NOW YOU UNDERSTAND THE ENEMY WITHIN
Bush Sr was CIA and Amb China.
He gave the commencement address at my Duke Graduation.
Topic: How we are “mishandling” China.
” He gave the commencement address at my Duke Graduation.
Topic: How we are “mishandling” China. ”
Now that IS interesting.
Food for thought.
Although the Bush Clan is thoroughly in the pocket of the NWO ” a thousand points of light “.
It fits right in with the takedown of America from within.
All the Bush’s are pieces of s**t.
When Congressional hearings are conducted (as they always are after every fiasco), the regime’s spokesman can always use Hillary’s line, “At this point, what difference does it make?”
And once again, we’ll see that there will be no consequences from a posturing Congress.
I would give you a thousand upvotes. This is exactly what will happen. There’s a lot of posturing, but no one has the guts to do anything,
What makes you think there will be hearings of any kind ?
You want consequences for Bad Government?
Implement the Founders’ Solution—Revolution.
Hearings in congress are, excuse me being so blunt, but nothing more than mental masturbation. They are only provided to give the yahoos in our government sound bites needed for re-election campaigns and go absolutely NOWHERE.
The difference between now and 1979 with the Iranian hostages is that the media is so openly biased that the “day 100 of Taliban hostage crisis” coverage won’t be allowed.
The left doesn’t care about American hostages. They would love to keep flooding the US with more Islamic settlers but that is just icing on the cake of the southern border invasion.
Something that makes the story go away or let the media bury it would suffice. Paying a massive ransom fee would be too much even for the media to hide. Trying to arrange a hidden deal to get Russia/China/Saudi Arabia to pay the ransom while keeping quiet on where the money came from would be risky and a guaranteed extortion threat for the future. The left despises the idea of a military solution and Milley Vanilli would botch it anyways.
This is where those credentialed, elite, super brains of the left will now demonstrate real world problem solving that mere peons can only dream of. Once they show up that is.
‘The difference between now and 1979 with the Iranian hostages is that the media is so openly biased that the “day 100 of Taliban hostage crisis” coverage won’t be allowed.’
True. But the taliban are evil appear to be pretty ‘tech savvy’.
They will work around the liberal media. ?
Are we “winning” yet?
Did the Kracken crack?
Was spying on citizens stopped?
Was FISA abuse stopped?
Will a stolen election reversed?
Will collusion between federal and state governments to violate our rights end?
Will nulled voices return?
Will the President Puppet ask for forgiveness?
Answer to all above is NO!
We cannot negotiate our way out of tyranny.
Staged as a forced Negotiation. Biden is a Traitor Just like Obama was

I always admired the silly argument it was Iran’s money that we finally gave back to them.
Pedophile logic. just flip the reason for the act from disgusting to honorable.

If the details leak we’ll know the DS want rid of Biden. Question, why did the Afghan army need MPADS?

I wonder how much Hunter gets on the kickbacks.
He gets to stay out of prison…
The blood of every man, woman and child tortured and killed in Afghanistan falls squarely on the Dems, Independents and rinos who voted for and supported this mental institution PAEDOPHILE.
And those who have aided and abetted the thieves who cunningly stole the election from the American people. .well there is a special place in Hell for animals like them..
Let’s do whatever we can do to make their hell on earth visable every day.
We are at war with unstable, ignorant, brainless people who support this murderous administration.
what would a person directly sent from China appointed by XI do any different? (think of every Action China Joe does)
“ Let’s do whatever we can do to make their hell on earth visable every day.
We are at war with unstable, ignorant, brainless people who support this murderous administration.”
Absolutely True.
The only question is “are we willingly to be violent in accomplishing that?”
Antifa and BLM and MaxiPad et al know how to do that, have done it, are doing it.
They are violent in small and great ways.
That’s how they get their way.
Until we are hurting them worse than they hurt us they will continue to hurt us.
Bullying 101.
Unfortunately, we have to learn how to be violent too. We have not responded to BLM and Antifa.
We forget, there are more of us, than there are of them.
For decades, the Chinese and Muslims have “softened” our will to reply and fight back via many avenues.
Education
Media
Corporate
Government
We forgot what we have always done best…fight back.
We saved the world through how many wars?
Right now, we have TWO GENERATIONS of blubbering,, blabbering idiots, ( some of whom are Politicians on both sides) and hundreds of thousands who are drug dependent and too far gone emotionally and physically.
EVERY AMERICAN should bear the responsibility for neglecting and responding to this abhorrent condition. Again, we don’t fight back.
It’s only recently that parents are going up against teachers and school boards. Finally, they are taking a stand. Fighting back.
We are at war with incompetent academic boobs who don’t have the brains or cajones to outsmart a group of people (happily) stuck in the 6th century who are the most vicious, cruel, and barbaric beings on our planet. Our “leaders” are so disconnected from reality that they think everything else under the sun will work rather than just plain unrelenting logic, drive, and strength.
As Admiral Yamamoto once said, “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.” Unfortunately our current “giant” is still napping.
Yes, Mamadog we certainly are at war.
At this point, only the good Lord Almighty can help the Americans, our allies, and innocents in Afghanistan.
Joe Biden has done more for the cause of radical Islam and more damage to America than Bin Laden could have ever dreamed of.
Bin Laden only killed around 3k Americans. By the time this is over, the death toll will be much higher.
Bin Laden didn’t manage to procure 80-something billion dollars in high tech military equipment and weapons at no charge.
Bin Laden didn’t give the Taliban an air force.
Bin Laden didn’t manage to alienate the US from all of it’s strategic allies.
Bin Laden didn’t humiliate the US, he just pissed us off and brought us together (for a while).
Bin Laden never even conquered all of Afghanistan. Biden has awarded the Taliban with it in it’s entirety.
Biden should become a hero for the ages to radical Islamic extremists.
Bin Laden was right that Biden would lead us to ruin. One question I have is, how did Bin Laden have so much insight into Biden’s abilities? My guess is it was probably a well known fact among our enemies that Biden was compromised.
if this was a movie, that little Director written injected movie scene of Big Laden talking of Biden, would help us absorb the future Director written scene of:
IT HAD TO HAPPEN, HE WAS STUPID, BUT IT WAS TRUMPS PLAN, AND WE GOT ATTACKED ON SEPT 11.
“The Taliban have U.S. made advanced technology surface-to-air missiles (SAMS) that we left with the Afghan army before their defeat.”
Not that I’ve been able to find reference to from any reliable source. They didn’t need any since the Taliban didn’t have an air force.
That said, they can easily get their hands on Chinese and Russian MANPADS (Man Portable Air Defense) as they are called as they are available on the black market and the Taliban now have HUGE volumes of sophisticated US arms to trade for them.

You want your Republic Back?
A lot of folks are going to have to “shuffle off this mortal coil”.
Let me see…Obama, the Light Bringer, was one of the greatest Commander in Chiefs who knew that “leading from behind” was the sign of a great warrior. Got it!
Now, here comes Biden The Demented out classing his former boss, who is now our greatest Commander in Chief because he leads from his basement or from his bed.
Man, is this a great country or what?!
All Baby Boomers should be so proud–would be if our generation wasn’t one of narcissistic clowns who after shouting in the late 60s “Hell no, we won’t go! Sex, Drugs and Rock ‘N Roll, Make love not War!” they went into our educational system, government and of course the media.
Can’t wait till the State Department and the Dept of Defense fly over their respective building a giant White Flag where just below flies that great LBGT rainbow flag!
Maybe these wonderful elite people could have Nancy demand no more American flags to be draped over caskets of American servicemen/women…just as a starter to symbolize the “New America” that Biden and his team of superior leaders have wrought.
My fellow Americans…and those who hate America, I bring you cheer from the White House!
Whoever it was who elected obama the first time and the second time. …
I don’t think about them often. …
At this point, what difference does it make….
Negotiations? More likely a debriefing and payment for services rendered!
All of this would not be happening if the Republican Senators had stood up January 6th.
Or if the States Republican legislatures stood up for the 2020 Constitutional election audits.
Weird.
Back up. If WE had insisted at the Local and State Level
that Trump’s Voter Rolls clean up go through.
Pallets of cash? They better spend it quick. If I was them I would demand gold.
You mean the 1742 Afghan gold bars still sitting in safety from 1939 , in Chases Manhattan Reserve Bank basement .
Or so it says on the ledger.
Bought at $ 35.00 US an ounce.
Roughly a little over 414 ounces per bar.
Probably all melted down and lent out over the years.
Wonder is .gov will give them some of the new shiny with a tungsten core in it.
Madness.
We are watching Barack Hussein’s dream come true. We bow to the Taliban.
When God removes his protection and blessings from a country this is the result. We, as a country, through our leaders have done everything possible to remove God from our country, number one being abortion but that’s just the tip.
My opinion only but I believe that God is withdrawing his hand of protection at a speed designed to allow his message to reach the remaining people around the world the chance to consider or reconsider their salvation. We will not vote our way out of this.
You are correct. When God and Christianity were removed, evil filled the void. I’ve heard a couple puzzled radio commentators wondering why there can be so much corruption at all levels. The words they used were, people no longer know the difference between right and wrong. They described perfectly the absence of God and conscience.
or Corporate pollution. plastics for food containers. other hormone affecting tools…
gender confusion may one day we identified as truly born that way and are that mix. A society can’t function when a large percent is being impacted with estrogen micmicking stuff daily.
You, Tomluns, are correct.
“designed to allow his message to reach the remaining people around the world the chance to consider or reconsider their salvation.”
Interesting. How do you visualize that working?
How does ChiCom Victory in America promulgate the Gospel in China?
It is entirely possible God has withdrawn His hand of Protection over America*,
but I’ve never seen that absolves Christians in Our Constitutional Republic from their Romans 13 duty to bear the sword against Tyrants.
*If indeed “The Glory has departed”, the timing is interesting. Donald Trump, like no President before him “blessed Israel.”
Yet God allowed his enemies to prosper and allowed them to use a plague to take him down.
One would have expected the “withdrawal” to come under Black BO or Xiden rather than Trump.
Where did CIA Director Burns’s plane land, is there a video? Is there video of a Tall-e-bon escort ?
Let’s cut to the chase.
This was no accident.
“Refugees” coming here. Guns for Islamists. Lithium for Chinese. Now direct payments with “valid” excuse to send payments.
and a valid reason for us to be attacked on Sept 11, that everyone will ACCEPT.
one man to pin it on… and package it up in, and dispatch of it with him.
Earthquakes , hailstones, lightening strikes—-I pray God causes some to deal with evil people.????
So you want God to bail us out with Natural Miracles so we don’t have to dirty our hands sticking The Shiv in ourselves like Ehud and Jael?
Sorry, can’t respect that.
Violates the Matthew 25 and Romans 13 principles.
Absolutely DH.
I am reminded of Alex Jones tagline constantly.
” Resistance to Tyranny IS obedience to God ” .
I thought America never negotiates with terrorists. Oh, wait … that was the old America, not the new woke version.
How coordinated is OBiden’s Afghanistan Surrender and Dims’s theft at home lead by Nancy?
Maybe the CIA could pay using Hunter’s artwork??
It is not like the money is coming out of their own pockets. Once again, we the taxpayer, are paying to politically benefit the scum that run the country. What makes them think that the Taliban won’t shove it up their backside after they get the money? How stupid and corrupt will American politicians look when the Taliban publicly execute Afghans that helped us? What message would that send to potential allies in Asia? The stupidity and naivety of the “intelligence” agencies and politicians are beyond comprehension.
What we need is a serious tax revolt. But millions would have to do it at the same time.
The amount is $30B, leave American contractors behind for Islamic Justice. Return Afghans on a list.
Biden in 2014: There’s Nothing Special About Being an American
and what was that comment Biden made about making Caucasians a minority?
Congressman Jim Banks of Indiana just read a list of what the Taliban is now in possession of – “they have $85 billion dollars worth of U.S. military equipment, including 75,000 vehicle, 200 airplanes, 600,000 small arms and light weapons, and they have more Black Hawk helicopters than 85% of countries in the world, plus they have biometric devices containing the fingerprints and eye scans of anyone in Afghanistan who worked with the U.S. government.”
These bastards don’t mind paying the indulgency fee because they will take their cut out of it, just like they take a cut out of every bit of foreign aid or anything else that leaves this country. The more they dole out, the more they make for themselves.
Should be easy since the “fees” won’t be made public.
Anybody want to expatriate to a small nation? I’m thinking before they drop the hammer on the economy and we still have purchasing power we could pool our resources and buy out a small island nation or something. I just want out, but haven’t found anywhere to go as it feels to me that we tumble towards totalitarianism.
The Biden Terrorist Shopping Center Is Open
I would like a nuclear bomb, to go with those new American planes. And, some new Helmets to go with all of those American uniforms. The current Helmets are just too small.
Biden and the Pentagon have gotten themselves into such a blind alley that they have no choice but to prostrate themselves to the Taliban or the Vietnam comparison will work. But not with the Fall of Saigon, but with the French debacle at Dien Bien Phu.
Why is Mark Milley still in command of the US military? Now look at Afghanistan? Well, I have the answer we have all been wanting to know. Coup members can talk.

This is all about humiliating the US in the eyes of the world–bringing us down a few notches, you see. And of course, dispiriting and demeaning the American public. This was always the objective of Obama–he just ran out of time and terms.
But with Susan Rice running this show (make no doubt, she’s behind all this), Obama is getting his wet dream of embarrassing the US.
The one thing that is bugging me is that the Republicans are so timid and passive on this. They don’t seem the least bit upset about this.
The other thing that is bothering me is that retired Admirals and Generals–not to mention the entire veteran community–should be absolutely apoplectic about this. Maybe they are and they’re just keeping a lid on it for the time being. But honestly, how much longer can this insanity go on without someone saying enough–with vigor!
Maximus-Cassius: Don’t let the Republicons bug you. They are irrelevant.
And so is the Supreme Court
Maybe they will react when we fly a white flag over the White House.
Soon Gitmo will be emptied out courtesy of our Cadaver in Chief. Including KSM whose “blessed hand” decapitated Daniel Pearl.
Re-distributing the wealth, to the Left, is always a good thing. Re-distributing the wealth is their main purpose in life. Therefore, paying ransom is a good thing.
Anarchy and nihilism is now mainstream leftist belief. The many big-city mayors who permit, even encourage riots are mainstream leftist Democrats. Defund the police? The leaders of their party remain committed to the logic of defunding the police, regardless of the opposition of their voters.
All leftists flock to the contradiction that they love themselves and hate the very country that produced them. From Obama to Megan Rapinoe to most Hollywood stars, the appeal of having your cake and eating it too remains a most beguiling piece of leftist dogma.
Humiliating their own country and their own government pulls Biden and his staff like a powerful magnet. The giant flaw in the logic of calling themselves racist, imperialist etc. (why not just stop?) is incomprehensible to them.
Anarchism remains a mystical, superstitious philosophy. The better should follow close upon the worse, but the Left has no formula for how or why. This madness will continue.
On exactly Aug 31 ChiCom Joe will announce proudly that all the Americans that “wanted” out were returned safely, it’s a great success story! The corrupt leftist msm will herald his great leadership! Total BS! Make no mistake there will be hostages that’s guaranteed! Some Americans will never be seen again and no one will know what happened to them except that they were last seen in Afghanistan! It could be years before it’s determined what happened to them or who is holding them and what they want! Those missing will be dismissed by Jen Psaki as wanting to stay end of story, that they didn’t want to return home, didn’t do what they were told. It will be up to their relatives to find them, if they are alive, and pay the ransom. God help them and their families!
I suspect some contractors will be forced to service the weapons systems and teach the Tally all that they know.
Then they will be dispatched with extreme prejudice.
Correction $60B and Islamic Justice for those on list and left behind.
Damn! This Administration is good! Not only did they negotiate to get all our soldiers out of harms way first, but now their paying money to the Taliban so the rest of our civilian populace has an opportunity to try and get to the Kabul IA. What a friggen genius this putz is.
