♦ 82,300 people have been evacuated by U.S. personnel. ♦ 4,500 of them are Americans.
The U.S. and U.K. officials are warning American and British citizens to leave the vicinity of the Kabul airport immediately. [BBC Alert Here – and – State Dept. Alert Here].
The State Department warning reads:
“Because of security threats outside the gates of 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.
U.S. citizens who are at the Abbey Gate, East Gate, or North Gate now should leave immediately.” (link)
The U.K. Foreign Office said: “Move away to a safe location and await further advice.” Commanders dealing with vast crowds around the airport are increasingly concerned about the possibility of suicide attacks. What the new advice means for the British evacuation operation is not clear.
From Earlier Reporting there were an original 6,000 Americans in the region – “U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday that 4,500 Americans have been “safely” evacuated from Afghanistan in the last couple of weeks, with up to 1,500 more remaining in the country.
“Blinken added that, of the 1,500 who may still want to flee Afghanistan, the U.S. has been in direct contact with 500 who have been given “instructions on how to get to the airport safely.” “For the remaining roughly 1,000 contacts that we had who may be Americans seeking to leave Afghanistan, we’re aggressively reaching out to them multiple times a day through multiple channels of communication,” he said.”
From the data shared by the secretary of state, 4,500 Americans have been evacuated. However, “Since August 14, more than 82,300 people have been safely flown out of Kabul. In the 24-hour period from Tuesday to Wednesday, approximately 19,000 people were evacuated on 90 US military and coalition flights,” Blinken said in the briefing today (video below).
82,300 people evacuated by the United States, and only 4,500 of them are Americans? Good grief, that means we are evacuating 78,000+ non-Americans.
Are we bringing the entire Afghan army into the United States?
If 4,500 Americans have been evacuated, where are they?
In ANY disaster, the news media rushes to find survivors and witnesses to parade before the cameras and get their stories.
Where are the American evacuees from Afghanistan?
Maybe they are still flying????
They wouldn’t support the narrative that the “Fake News” wants to or told to push.??????
Because we only have confirmed evac of the 169 Americans transported via helicopter from embassy compound to airport and lifted out with 500 Afghanis pictured in the belly of C17 this past Monday 8/16. There have been NO other confirmations of any Americans airlifted out of Afghanistan yet State Dept can confirm 82,000 Afghan refugees?
Well I personally just heard from the family in Afghanistan that we have been working to get out and they quite literally just got on the last Canadian airplane from the airport. This crisis is not faked news. These are real people we have known for many years. The press are being kept away from the bases in Germany for security reasons. I did see an article with pictures about Afghan Americans arriving in New York city.
They are with the Americans withdrawn in Benghazi!
The reason Dems are winning everything in spite of destroying all they touch is because they face no organized opposition.
I don’t just mean the GOP as a party, but all the folk in America who can’t stand what Dems have done and what they will do.
We are like blacks before Martin Luther King finally started a fire and took his message to pulpits, then to the streets. It made people uncomfortable that there were people IN THE STREETS.
I think a lot of people still think President Trump is going to fix everything.
Deep down, whether we want to admit it or not, we all know that there is only ONE way this all ends. It terrifies me, but I believe we will end up having to fight our own countrymen. Many of us, including our sons will have to die in order to restore the Republic. I pray that I’m wrong, but see no other way short of a peacefully separation. Unfortunately the Democrat tyrannical streak runs deep and they would NEVER let TX, FL, et.al. go. Not without blood shed.
Throw in Arkansas and Oklahoma, and you got a deal. Nice little organized states, region, country.
It’s called Dixie…w/o the dramatized racism…There was once a very strong sense of regional brotherhood and citizenry…from the Shenandoah Valley to Amerillo..?
That ended when the Yankees started to infiltrate.
There’s an old saying in the south… “A Yankee is someone from the north who may visit the south occasionally and then return home. A damn Yankee is someone from the north who comes down south and doesn’t leave…”
The only real option I see are autonomous regions (by county) within States. The Urban Hell Holes are strong Commie Dem and also most of their suburbs so they will strongly fight secession. Some less populated States could be totally autonomous. This would be similar to autonomous regions of Italy. I am not sure how this could happen here. Referendums?
“look what a ragtag bunch of cavemen did to the highest paid military in the world”…with the help of the deep state. FIFY
Re “They were to the US military what the founders were to the English in the battle for independence, guerilla fighters against the formal, royal soldiers.”
That’s the difference between a militia and a standing army…
The only wars America ever won with a standing army were the ones when soldiers were allowed to fight with a minimum of oversight and a maximum of individualism and innovation without having to worry about being court martialed for fighting to win.
I believe that people will unite. Over what I am not sure, but it will be some type of evil hijinks. Something all people abhor, trafficking humans and drugs, crimes against humanity? If one reviews Trump Executive Orders, there are many clues to what has been made ready for crimes such as these. The country belongs to The People, we need to take it back from the elite thieves who stole it.
It has to be the pits to be a fed-centric citizen in 2021.
Sorting through the daily barrage of stories coming out of dc through the fake media is a tough job.
MAGAs have abandoned the feds because that isn’t where the solutions for America will come from in 2021. Being fed-centric is not only discouraging, it is a giant waste of time.
The place to make a difference in MAGA, in 2021, is at the local / state entities.
The MAGAs have the numerical, economic, moral, intellect and armed majorities.
There is no doubt that we have got a fight on our hands but it is a fight that is winnable.
And we have got the best, patriotic, American leader President Trump … who won in 2020.
Trump keeps telling people to fight by using the law, class actions, etc. He cannot save us, he gave us the set up to see the evil and fight for ourselves. I mean, who really wants drag queen story hour for their kids? Demons in the halls of our government? There are more of us than them, but many do not realize the world has changed (thank you MSM/s) and the people, parents ARE standing up, America is at the tipping point and we are tired of this evil BS, but not too tired to fight. These people and policies are damaging our children, our most precious asset. Only caveat is we must use law and order no matter how frustrating, we shall overcome and get our country back! We will have help because if America falls, the world follows…
Problem is that there is no law or court systems for us. Obama and his cohorts for decades have made sure we would get to this point. To make is worse are over 30 federal uber-liberal judges they have quietly put on the benches with the veil of the Afghanistan mess. If we go through the courts – we lose, if we assemble and protest – we are traitors and insurrectionists, if we spread the word on FB – we go to FB jail.
I have tried to have the discussion with my 4 adult children. 2 think I’m crazy, 1 listens and pats me on the head, but the military one WILL listen – but is still too young to fully understand.
We do have to keep plugging on though I agree. But I’m also faced with REALITY that America IS falling and the rest of the world IS following!
How do you use law and order when there is no law and order. The institutions of our governments, local, state and federal are dead to their roots. I say NO to the evil! We need to unionize our like-minded citizens to resist with every means possible. A national strike with the statement that we will not comply is a good start.
This comment is written by a person who owns MAGA hats and a Trumpy Bear.
You are correct, Sloth.
And somehow they pretend Trump isn’t telling us to get the jab and doesn’t brag ad nauseum about Warp Speed. They reason it away with nonsense spouted by Truthers and Sage Conservatives: “Well, he’s just trying to taunt the Dems by saying he pushed the “vaccine” out before they were ready.” (Juan O’Savin) Or Mel K: “Trump knows more than we do. He’s part of the winnowing, and is working with God.” (Paraphrased quotes.)
Folks, the real Populist movement has left Trump behind. Look at some of the crap he did, especially at the end, and well, it’s difficult staying loyal. The man doesn’t listen to those he should have. There is a real disconnect.
Those who have ears will hear.
I’d love to be proved wrong on this.
It’s not only that. If we still had a functioning justice system there would have been consequences by now for the unending abuse of power. I’m sure this corruption began long before Benghazi, but when no one was held accountable for that debacle, they became emboldened. They’ve continued to escalate with no consequences. I didn’t think it could possibly get anything worse than the gov’t spying on and framing a presidential candidate and sitting President. That is, until we all witnesses the big steal on 11/3/2020. Nobody should be surprised. When the speaker of the house’s father was member of organized crime… well…
Actually the reason is they are lying cheats.
an attempt to “f i l l a b u s t“ the press corp? he is lying ?
Some keep saying that we will see horrific crimes, including beheadings. I’m not convinced.
Why would the Taliban play their hand in an overt way which would bring attention, when they’ve already been delivered everything they could ask for? They are sitting comfortably now.
They have won. All they have to do now, is play the long game. As President Trump said, they are fighters and they’re smart.
There is no reason to believe that terrorists won’t infiltrate our own soil. The Biden administration has set them up for that perfectly. They can easily cross the southern border, or now they can be flown here, unvetted.
We used to be concerned about terrorism on the coasts, but I fear the next event will shatter middle America. And the Commies in charge won’t be helpful.
“I’m not convinced.”
JMO, interesting that you believe a dangerous, vicious, evil “leopard” can change its spots.
Time will tell how they treat the people they just conquered who don’t kowtow to their beliefs.
They are only rumors but the early reports don’t sound encouraging for the non-tally Afgans.
“interesting that you believe a dangerous, vicious, evil “leopard” can change its spots.”
I implied no such thing. Do you not understand my post?
The Taliban will do exactly what they have always done; murder people in the name of their false prophet and ideology.
Yes, they will. We will see where they do it next. They tend to go for maximum impact. That’s terrorism.
Over the years, the FBI has changed the definition, slightly. Irregardless, in short, terror acts are meant to influence a society and further a political-ideological agenda. The perpetrators also seek “legitimacy”.
Yes, they favor the ‘big ones’, for maximum media coverage. They also have their own rogue actors.
So, now we must consider threat assessments and preparedness, and “risk vs. threat”. (here is where we count on the ‘brains’, to do their job).
If there is another 9/11-type terror act on US soil, and a plane is used with D.C. as the target, I have a feeling there wouldn’t be a “Let’s Roll” event on the plane. Those a-holes didn’t deserve to be saved, sad to say!
Super extreme Taliban groups might go rogue. You also other terrorist groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda to deal with.
Indeed. There is an incestuousness within terrorist factions.
“There is an old Arab Bedouin saying: I, against my brothers. I and my brothers against my cousins. I and my brothers and my cousins against the world. That is jungle law. It is the way of the world when the world is thrown into chaos. It is our job to avert that chaos, to fight against it, to resist the urge to become savage. Because the problem with such law is that if you follow it, you are always fighting against someone.”
(Nafisa Haji, HT/ Goodreads, cannot vouch for her but it sure explains a lot.
I guess you don’t understand Islam.
Oh, really? So it’s not possible that terrorists would play along with Buyden and tamp it down for a bit, just so that they could achieve maximum destruction here on our own soil, later? If that’s what you mean, then let’s hope you’re right. But I doubt they’re done with us.
PJ, you are right.
They have also become more sophisticated in their approach by using ‘language’ that is acceptable to the rest of the civilized world, that lend itself to making us think ‘they’re not so bad, they’re negotiating with the US.’
They have essentially, ‘evolved’ with the times, I believe but are still using ‘religion’ only, more quietly.
The US has a history of turning ‘enemies’ into ‘friends’…I personally don’t think it will work this time. Just my humble opinions.
Déjà Vu: Biden-Obama Arming Enemy Terrorists All Over Again; Biden And Obama Also Turning Over Lithium-Rich Afghanistan To China
https://home.frankspeech.com/article/deja-vu-biden-obama-arming-enemy-terrorists-all-over-again-biden-and-obama-also-turning
Radical Islam have a bloodlust for the infidels that outweigh rational thought. The majority of the Islamic foot soldiers are probably high most of the time and killing people is not a big deal.
They already killed a very popular comedian. God bless the man, he was still making jokes as they dragged him away. Apparently ticked them off enough to punch him in the face before they killed him. May we all have such courage in the days ahead, but a happier ending.
Here’s what I think is happening to the USA.
The commies are in the process of taking over. The open border on the south is the doorway for an invasion of millions of illegals who will man the labor camps that will be set up to house the MAGA Terrorists who will be rounded up and sent to the Gulags. The Afghans being brought in have included thousands of Taliban terrorists. These Terrorists will join up with the thousands who have already come in thru the Southern border. These terrorists will start to terrorize American Citizens all across the nation. This will be the impetus for nationwide Marshall Law in which the Military will be called in to focus not on the terrorists, but citizens. There will be all kinds of draconian commie laws put into effect to supposedly reign in the terrorists, but will actually be to imprison the citizens who are deemed domestic terrorists. Guns will be confiscated nationwide by the military.
The 7 trillion infrastructure budget just passed will be used to build the gulags for domestic terrorists and to pay for the illegals to man the gulags. With millions of illegals and their extended families needing housing, jobs, etc, the infrastructure budget will pay for new housing for all of these new citizens and jobs in the gulags.
We will be on permanent lockdown Marshal law due to terrorist’s actions. Elections at every level suspended. Jury trials suspended and liberal judges will act as jury. The constitutional guarantees of freedom will be further trashed. No freedom of speech, assembly, press, right to bear arms, freedom of religion, etc. will be tossed aside.
Trillions of dollars were just put in the budget to pay for the commie takeover. And both parties are in on it. Things are moving fast against us. We better be looking for a way out or a solution. Fast.
Well, that was uplifting. (sarcasm of course).
All I can say is Wolverines………………!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They have already taken the country over. Most Americans just don’t know if yet. You talk about gulags, look at how they are treating innocent citizens in DC. Solitary confinement, no medications, attorney visits cut short. If we still had a judicial system, their attorneys would be able to get them out on bail or moved to better facilities. It’s the DC Gulag.
America is under Marxist Control. I have been saying it over and over again here and I sure many people here think I am a nut. I am more in the Diana West camp of thinking (see her book American Betrayal). We had a chance to take out the Commies post WWII and we didn’t. It’s telling that most Conservatives today buy into the Commie Left’s vilification of Joseph McCarthy. Joseph McCarthy was 1000% correct about the Commie threat. Today they control all the levers of American society.
BO built FEMA camps everywhere, remember? This has been planned for a long time…
“They” meant the camps for us Patriots…God will turn it on their heads and they will be imprisoned in their own camps (see the Book of Ruth, OT). To God be the glory!
Martial Law from Mars, the Roman god of war.
Have no fear, folks. The GOP has barely mustered the energy to (wait for it) call for a formal Pentagon investigation into the bungled Afghanistan withdrawal. Think of it, not only an investigation (set your clocks to the year infinity), but a “formal” one. No doubt that means it will really be one for the ages.
And here we were feeling frustrated and angry w/the GOP when all along they were hunkered down carving out the single sentence statement that they’re going to all for an investigation.
An investigation that will never happen because the left is in power and even if it did, it would be like the criminals investigating their crimes.
But, hey, our guys can check the box that they’re doing something and that’s what counts, eh?

So the commie Democrats are still worse…right?
MTG was on Bannon’s War Room this morning, and she stated that there were 50,000 American citizens still trapped in Afghanistan. When pressed on this number by Bannon, she stated that is the number she is getting through the government. And I believe it, 20 years of this, there are many non government folks there, and 50,000 is not a ridiculous number. I wonder if they will get a monument like the one we gave our Vietnam Vets?
MTG is the only REAL Pub Politician. She is a great Patriot but most of her own Party hates her or doesn’t take her seriously / shuns her. She probably has less than a handful of supporters combined -> Congress and Senate. This tells you state of America. America is under Communist Control!
The State Department know exactly how many American people are in Afghanistan. These people have to apply to get Visas, they have their passports recorded when they entered and left the country, there are residency, voting and tax records. All these data points and more can be merged and cross referenced for accuracy. The admin is hiding the truth. Once the videos are released of the hostages, killings, beatings get out, this thing will explode. Biden Administration, shelter in place.
Having experience within US Embassies, I am sure the State Department has the Exact number of US citizens currently located in Afghanistan…and possibly all the Afgan support personnel as well
Watch: Glenn Beck is in an undisclosed country in the middle east working with others to use Nazarene Fund moneys to fly people out of Afghanistan. He reported tonight on a lot of the lies the state dept. and Biden Admin are telling us. I’m just at a loss in finding out how horrible our own leaders are and how little they value human life. Prayers for the people in Afghanistan.
Glenn’s on it. Doing a good job keeping composed.
State Department blocking any movement. Orders directly from the White House. If this is proven. Impeachment and immediate removal is required.
Glenn, Obama and his 2 gals in the Whitehouse are the reason why.
Thank you so much for posting this video. I’ve been eager to know an update and hadn’t seen anything on Glenn’s website.
G-d bless him and everyone at the Nazarene Fund for what they’re doing. Donating to his fund was a welcome option to feel like there was something me and my family could do.
San Diego students stranded in Afghanistan. (Who sends students to a country like that for a summer trip???)
https://www.dailywire.com/news/san-diego-area-students-on-summer-trip-stranded-in-taliban-controlled-afghanistan
They weren’t sent.
What do you mean?
I think he means they decided to go. They weren’t forced to go.
Should there have been a trip? That is a different question.
I wonder if that’s what Sharon meant. Your post confirms my intuition. And, I get it. OK. Technically, they weren’t “sent” but still. They’re not adults so someone organizes these things. As to your last point.
They majority are Afghanis, the parents, anyway. They chose go there to either see relatives or show the kids their native lands. Remember, until just a couple weeks ago, Afghanistan was relatively safe
The correct term is Afghans not Afghanis when referring to the people. Afghani is the currency or a surname.
Wouldn’t a trip like that need to be approved by the State Dept ? Why would it be allowed if it was during dementia’s “withdrawal ” window? It seems a country like Afghanistan would be on a do not travel list.
Xiden’s Marxist Regime motto..”BRINGING AMERCA BACKWARDS” Afghans you go the FRONT of the line. You Americans go to the BACK.
81 million fake voters gave us this.
“4,500 of them are Americans.” At the time of the retreat to the airport there were 5000 CIA in country. Seems like they’ve only managed to 4500 of them out.
Here’s what you do if the Taliban comes to your house: Get a double-barrel shotgun, and fire both barrels through the door.
If that doesn’t work, cut off a length of pool chain and wrap it around your hand. Tell the Taliban you’re going to hit him upside the head with it, but do apologize for calling him Esther Williams.
Then let him rub the blonde hairs on your legs.
We’re here with these expensive planes, and armed soldiers (marines) to fly you out of Afghanistan! We’re here at the airport! Oh. . . by the way. . . did you get the memo to NOT come to the airport?
Again, for your safety, we are here at the airport to fly you out. . .
BUT, for your safety, DON’T COME TO THE AIRPORT!
What a crock of sauerkraut. Specifically designed to ensure that Americans who need evacuation are still holed-up in Kabul when August 31st rolls around.
If you listen to the Glenn Beck video someone posted upstream, it’s even worse than that. Glenn suggests that he has evidence that the State Dept has malicious intentions and it now seems that a large number of Americans as well as Afghans have been brought to a large hotel in Kabul. You can figure our the rest.
Hard to keep up with the onslaught of evil that continues to come at us, with so much more to come.
I pray for all Americans in Afghanistan and for all of us here at home. We are all truly on on our own.
This is fine…
(it’s not, but I had to lol at the absurdity)
Chain migration…his 4 wives, 35 kids, 64 grandchildren, his parents, aunts, uncles….will be next?
The Xiden administration will need another false flag event once the Taliban public beheadings and torture begin. ISIS and alQaeda will want to payback the US for its prior defeats. Humiliating the US will be a great recruitment tool for radical Islam. This is just the beginning of a long and terrible propaganda war with Afghanis and Americans as hostages.
See, Americans are easily replaced with foreigners who have no allegiance to the US only to the dRAT party that gave them a free ticket here, housing, money etc.
What about Americans that are stuck outside of Kabul? We’re being led to assume everyone made it to Kabul as other towns and cities fell but there has to be NGOs and aid workers that stayed in rural areas. I don’t buy that only 1500 Americans remain.
This is too clever to have been thought up by Biden. Probably by an element in the intelligence community. Why?
What is keeping American soldiers from rescuing Americans as other countries have done?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Since your comment the gates have been welded shut to keep American soldiers from leaving the airport to rescue people.
No way to get anywhere now. There is only one runway at that airport. The Bagram airbase was abandoned, so that’s not available. Afghanistan is a land-locked country, so no way to move an aircraft carrier nearby. Would India have something near enough? Now they have all of the weapons left behind, so they could shoot planes out of the sky. They did this evil on purpose. The rest of the world hates us now, if they didn’t before. Night-vision goggles, surface to air missiles…what a clusterf…!!!
A few days ago, one of those state dept /pentagon mouth pieces, was forced to admit the number of evacuated persons included evacuees taken out by all the countries involved, not just the US. I wonder how many of the 82,000 were taken out by the British, French, Germans etc? Remember the reports of no planes arriving or departing? Now they supposedly expelled all the journalists, why, so no one can see what a cluster F… this really is?
A disgusting bunch of scamps are running things.
“Suicide bomber kills 13 at Kabul airport: Multiple casualties – including children and three US Marines – as two explosions tear through crowd, hours after Westerners were warned to stay away because of ISIS attack
Now reports of another explosion, this one is at The Baron Hotel there in Kabul.
Wynken Kamala Harris
Blynken Antony Blinken,
and Nod Joe Biden
rocked to sleep in a beautiful
personal cash flow boat….
And Biden brings the lambs in to slaughter.
Being an American means nothing to this Administration.
Trump’s motto — America First. Biden’s motto — America Last.
The paragraph means, “Because of a CIA operation planned for outside the gates of 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.
Precisely correct. Warmonger, and Defense Industry shareholder (and former U.S. secretary of Defense) Leon Panneta is already greasing the skids to get the U.S. back into the forever-war game in Afghanistan.
Says he: “Now we have to go back in (to Afghanistan) to get Al-Qaeda and ISIS-K” to back up Joe Biden’s pledge that we will “get” those responsible for this attack.
Well yes – yes we are evacuating most of Afghanistan or basically anyone who wants to come to America for free!
I believe this was part of obidens plan how to get a massive amount of Islamic refugees into our country since the southern border wasn’t getting them in fast enough, the destruction of our country wasn’t happening fast enough.
The resettlement contractors are thrilled! More money for them and the Islamic Hijra is on its way. Thanks taxpayers!
Kiss America’s A$$ goodbye.
I can’t believe how stupid we are.
