There are two puzzle pieces that help to make sense of the Politico report about “U.S. Officials” giving the Taliban a list of American and U.S. Afghan names to allow through the checkpoints. {GO DEEP 1 and GO DEEP 2} However, if you don’t understand the two dueling power teams -each attempting to position- it doesn’t make sense.
Remember, the State Dept (DoS) and CIA are one team. The White House and Pentagon are another team.
♦ TEAM One – The Department of State is aligned with the CIA. Their media PR firms are CNN, CNNi and the Washington Post. Their ideology is favorable to the United Nations. Their internal corruption is generally driven by relationship with foreign actors. References: Hillary Clinton, Clinton Global Initiative, John McCain, Qatar, Muslim Brotherhood, Samantha Powers, Susan Rice, Cass Sunstein, Brookings Institute, Lawfare, China-centric, Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Council on Foreign Relations.
♦ TEAM Two – The White House is aligned with the Pentagon (DoD) and National Security Council (NSC). Their media PR firms are domestic in nature. New York Times, Politico, etc. Their internal corruption is generally driven by domestic influence. References: Barack Obama, George Bush, Wall St, Big Banks, Multinational Corporations, Defense Contractors, FBI (state police), Judicial Branch, and community activists writ large.
Both teams are highly political. However, the State Dept/CIA team consider themselves above political changes; essentially the deeper Deep State.
With the DoS/CIA aligned with CNN/WaPo, when the Pentagon needs to defend their specific interests in crisis management, they must go elsewhere, hence Politico.
From the Politico Article:
“U.S. officials in Kabul gave the Taliban a list of names of American citizens, green card holders and Afghan allies to grant entry into the militant-controlled outer perimeter of the city’s airport, a choice that’s prompted outrage behind the scenes from lawmakers and military officials.”
The move, detailed to POLITICO by three U.S. and congressional officials, was designed to expedite the evacuation of tens of thousands of people from Afghanistan as chaos erupted in Afghanistan’s capital city last week after the Taliban seized control of the country. It also came as the Biden administration has been relying on the Taliban for security outside the airport.
[…] But the decision to provide specific names to the Taliban, which has a history of brutally murdering Afghans who collaborated with the U.S. and other coalition forces during the conflict, has angered lawmakers and military officials.
“Basically, they just put all those Afghans on a kill list,” said one defense official, who like others spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive topic. “It’s just appalling and shocking and makes you feel unclean.” (more)
So it’s fair to say the aggrieved party is the Pentagon in this scenario…. which aligns with Politico receiving the information from the military perspective.
Applying the dynamic of interests from the previous history between the teams, it would appear the State Dept. and CIA gave the Taliban the list.
Indeed, the quick dispatch of the problem of stranded Americans is a ‘toxically political’ priority issue for the State Department. Additionally, the previous meeting between CIA Director William J Burns and the Taliban leadership now takes on a fulsome context.
It was a decision by the DoS and CIA to share the list and get the evacuation facilitated in the most expedient fashion possible. However, from a tactical perspective it put the Pentagon, charged with Kabul airport security, in a slightly compromised position.
Both teams were responsible for the Afghanistan mess. In the aftermath of the mess; and with the current situation in/around Kabul, each team is positioning to avoid scrutiny. Scrutiny on either team runs the risk of identifying massive corruption; so the objective is to push the spotlight onto the other team. State Dept. blames White House/Pentagon…. Pentagon/White House looking to avoid sunlight.
The Pentagon (arrows) is supposed to working in coordination with State (olive branch), but both institutions are corrupt regarding Afghanistan; so it’s a game of hot potato. If the executive office wasn’t corrupt, the eagle would be having whiplash; alas, the White House was/is an active participant. [So much for school civic ‘checks-n-balances’ eh?]
Externally, we are seeing the executive appointed heads of each faction battling for position on behalf of their institution. The media get to pick and choose which faction they will support. CNN will support the State Dept. ABC, CBS, NBC will lean slightly toward the White House/Pentagon.
Modify the focus of your review of events in/around Afghanistan to see the connective tissue between CNN, the State Department and CIA [strongest institution within the Intelligence Branch]. Then keep in mind, the Senate is in alignment with, and a facilitator for, the Intelligence Branch. As a consequence, the institution of the Senate will align with the interests of the State Department; and, by default align with the CIA, intelligence community and CNN/WaPo reporting.
The modern U.S. State Dept is an independent, bureaucratic, and massive foreign policy institution that does not accept any oversight. They are able to accomplish their independent position by partnering with intelligence agencies. The Dept of State use the U.S. Intelligence Branch as a weapon against any individual or entity who would attempt oversight.
The deepest, swampiest part of the Deep State is protecting its interests against the outcome of a crisis in Afghanistan they collectively created. The picture has now emerged of their plan to blame the White House, and by extension Joe Biden along with the Pentagon.
I can only imagine what this country looks like in one more year!
I cannot.
I can. The only historical reference points aren’t pretty – except this is now on a global scale – and several are happening all at once.
The progressive left is playing for all the marbles this time.
If you want a real horror story, just review everything progressives have been saying for thirty years, and accept the fact that, yes, they really meant it all along.
Exactly, but I’d broaden it past the “Left”/Progressives.
I took notes + recognized implications over the last 5 decades, but I could never bring myself to believe they were serious about doing what they swore was absolutely necessary to Save the Planet — until — Covid.
When a man-made bioweapon began the year 2020 they had mentioned for so long — I knew they are deadly serious + that we are all screwed.
I thank God I’m not a teen nor have young kids….
The whu who flu and the current insanity in Afghanistan shows us just about all we need to know
But what % get it? — The VAST majority would not see it before the “Election.” I was mocked + laughed at at places like this + Gateway Pundit — when I kept warning —- “Trump is going to “lose” – they are going to steal the Election. You can see the prep for it. They have launched The Great Reset of Civilization. They will steal the election or kill Trump.”
Now, even with the GIGANTIC event of stealing that election —- most still do not want to believe – the Globalist have launched the Hot Stages of a — Regime Change Operation/revolution — to fundamentally alter Civilization itself….
The Great Reset is here. They openly promote it. They have told us for — decades — what that will mean.
They always knew —- they could NEVER implement what they want — via Cooperation from Humanity. They always knew it would come down to doing by Force + Lies.
Population Control + Technocracy.
If you have no idea what those mean, you haven’t been paying attention to their mantras…
They say they believe they are Saving the Planet.
In reality, they simply created the Common Enemy they opined would be the only way to Unite the people’s of the world.
They chose – humanity itself. — We are our common enemy. The cancer that is destroying Mother Earth. – So, you can join the Elites in supporting Technocracy or join the Useless Eaters opposing them + get ostracized, increasingly shut out of the public square + eventually — liquidated.
That is where we are heading.
Roughly the same thing happened several times last century with Germany, the USSR, China + Cambodia but also on a smaller scale in many countries.
It’s here. We don’t want to believe it. We want to believe it can never happen here. We want to believe we’d never let it happen. –But we said that about — stealing elections….
Look up Agenda 21…
You don’t need to do that, just look around- this is Agenda 21.
It’s “The Great Reset” which has facets of Agenda 21 all throughout. We aren’t watching the rise of a New World Order. We are watching the rise of a Technocratic Tyranny!
A year? We won’t make it a month with a gazillion unvetted military aged Afghan males dumped here. GOD HELP US~!~
Apparently the Refugees are dumping all over the buildings in DC they are being housed in, got so bad they moved them. We will be dumped on in so many ways.
Sounds like they are doing same in the airplanes
On one hand I have empathy. Trauma, chaos, no supplies, the body is going to get out of whack. On the other hand it is their culture to just drop drawers and go, even when it is explained to them that isn’t how it works. The disease they will bring isn’t good. Did you know you can longer purchase Immodium AD in bulk? Somehow someone found a way to abuse it, so that ended that. No more Costco boxes of AD.
Funny how the gummint isn’t worried about all their COVID, it is only us that can get COVID.
Perhaps the masks were a way to get us used to face coverings because the plan is to put all of us under Islamic rule.
Speaking of Imodium and all store brand generics, they quit making them available in bottles. For the past 3 or 4 years they all are individually packaged on little sheets that are a pain to open. Why? Because druggies would pop them by the handful to increase/lengthen the high of some drug. Maybe meth? Like they don’t have the time or inclination to open them individually?
More so, that’s not the government’s job. Let the idiots OD and die. My mom was a drug addict and alcoholic—a big one…and an abusive one.
We spend tax dollars on drugs to save Herion addicts from ODs. Cops carry them. They are not cheap—a waste of money. Let them die. I wish my mom would have died from her disease before she caused permanent damage to her children (me, my bro, and sis). I was fortunate; I was strong. I did well. My siblings…well, the emotional and physical damage was too much. My brother is a loner who has major anger issues, and my sister is my mom now.
I am very sorry to hear about what happened to your family because of your mom’s alcoholism. I know exactly what you are talking about.
My dad was an alcoholic and his disease mangled my family. He died at an early age without even trying to sober up.
My mom held our family together but I inherited the alcoholism gene and it almost killed me too. For some reason, I was saved just a few weeks before I was supposed to die from liver failure. Between my Higher Power and AA , I was miraculously able to turn my life around.
I have a life beyond my wildest dreams and none of my grand kids have ever see me touch a drink or a drug. It is a true miracle.
Please don’t give up on your siblings. If someone like me could get sober, and I was as bad a drunk as ever lived, then ANYONE can do it. Miracles do happen.
For your own sake and to help your brother and sister, I urge you to go to some Al Anon meetings. These are people just like you who are suffering vicariously from addiction and alcoholism.. They are in the same boat as you. There is a fellowship in AA and Al Anon much like the fellowship of the Tree House.
I wish you all the best and hope you can find solace.
Lord, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, courage to change the things I can and the WISDOM to know the difference.
Sorry to hear of your family’s troubles DD.
Dwight, your story has touched me and I am so sorry and I am crying for the physical, emotional and mental pain and torture you and your siblings suffered. NO ONE deserves that. I deeply wish you peace in your soul and Seneca is right – don’t give up on your brother.
Those sheets are a pain to open. I had no idea AD could extend a high, the pharmacy person told me it had something to w/people abusing the drug as to why bulk quantities were outlawed and that is all she knew. It sounds like something a Meth addict would do.
Ha! Like they don’t have the time or inclination to open them individually. Our gummint is sooo stupid it is painful.
I think the mask were to dehumanize us. No one could see your smile, no one wanted to talk to each other because you just couldn’t understand one another. The social distancing was also used to discourage you from using one liners to open peoples eyes. It was to silence us.
The mask was to show you who is the boss.
All I know is people need to be re-stocking any supplies or special things they like or want. Whether it is another lock down or price inflation, get what you can now because it isn’t going to be pretty.
Inflation also creates a stampede of purchases – buy now before it gets expensive. But that’s not panic, that’s truth, sadly. I have an old Sears catalog from the late 1970s. The prices are like those a couple of years ago. But the wages were a fraction. But in the 1970s, credit cards weren’t a thing. Nowadays, just about any one can get one, and run that debt up and ruin their future. A lot of debt is carried by seniors for health, medical services and medicines are so high. This is a very expensive country to live and die in.
Made that way by globalists. If we built and kept goods here- nothing would be expensive. If we didn’t ship so much food overseas…..no one would be hungry here. But, Pelosi, McConnell and the others need to eat cake.
Toilet paper hold its value better than any form of currency every invented by man.
It is a little late now, but AMMO has proven to be a very good “investment.”
A bit short of money the other month, I sold 3 cases of 2009 IMI M855 for three times what it cost in 15 minutes, the buyer didn’t haggle or anything, just “I’ll take it.”
One more year? I’m worried about one more month!
So is the CIA going to install a new President?
Where?
With Obama/Sanders new “infrastructure bills” transitioning America into a socialist state as a necessary stepping stone to one party Marxist rule, we are like a snowball rolling downhill about to become an avalanche. The 2022 election is for all the marbles. Expect the Marxists marching orders to be “the glorious end justifies the means!”
You mean the election on fraud machines?
We will have to wait until 2024 to and an avalanche of executive orders to reverse the ship. A big 2o22 win will stop the bleeding, but it might well be too late.
They won’t, but even if the GOP swept every single seat in 2022, the worthless tossers wouldn’t do anything to stop this. We are beyond screwed.
These infrastructure bills as usual aren’t anything they are supposed to be. They will provide more cash to the former workers to continue on as former workers. Over 6 Trillion $$ when you count them up.
Gavin Gruesome $1100.00 relief checks start rolling out next week in California, and will be advanced according to your zip code, only for those making less than $75K per year. He’s trying to bribe his way out of getting recalled, as that election is on September 14th.
Oh, I see you’re still under the delusion we have a country.
Third day running..
I emailed both my Senators and my Representative..
I asked them what they are doing.
And why is Biden still President.
Good for you. Thank you. My Democrat Congress Critter did a town hall phone meeting. She claims to be former CIA, we still don’t know exactly what she did and how much of it is lies, but to her credit she seemed genuinely upset. Didn’t offer much up other than she and her staff were working hard to help people get out.
Considering she’s a demorat, every word was a lie.
I don’t know. General Flynn was a democrat until 5 years ago.
This was very likely a tactic on his part to hide among the swamp creatures.
“but to her credit she seemed genuinely upset”
Old well established psychopaths tend to be very good actors.
Remember, the only former thing a CIA agent is, is human.
I know what you are saying, believe me, but I have had numerous rounds w/this woman and this time she was different. She actually had more to say than the GOP around here. Two of them have used Afghanistan to fundraise off of. Makes my blood boil, both are Veterans.
Mark, do you really want Kamalla as president. We will take losses prior to 2022, but if we win in 2022 executive orders can change things.
How do you get all this insider knowledge about who is with who? This should be taught in schools.
<This should be taught in schools.>
Things are still taught in schools?
This is school … albeit at the PhD level.
Sundance University.
How about some Treehouse swag…? I’m in for a SUNDANCE UNIVERSITY sweatshirt or 3…..would make awesome Christmas gifts ?
The Sundance Tree House School of Technology.
Political Science!
I think he pays attention. ?
“How do you get all this insider knowledge”
You are reading invaluable original research. Sundance spends years doing extensive root cause analysis. The truths are often very ugly.
FUBAR. And what genius decided to abandon Bagram?
Some genius that knew Bagram was the logical and more defendable airport.
It’s by design. We need to who decided that and their head should roll with Biden’s.
BADA BINGO! ALL pre planned from the Kenyan Cabal bunker.
I’ve convinced myself that State Dept had undue voice in the decision to abandon Bagram
Yes, it’s obviously the more defensible footprint from which to have conducted the withdrawl. A militarily secure base with multiple air strips, barracks and mess halls, hangars and facilities from which to fly drone and fighter-plane missions, wide view planes of any approaching threats, you could quickly deploy ground forces, drones, even Blackhawks to thwart any attempted perimeter breaches.
I can’t imagine real military commanders having permitted giving that up.
The mumbo jumbo they released was that there were not enough forces to defend both Bagram and the Embassy
So the decision was made to give up Bagram
Why? Appearances … an entirely political decision
They could have kept Bagram and moved diplomatic functions there
But …. ooh, that’s a bad look
America can’t maintain an Embassy in Kabul?
That would “look” like the country wasn’t as secure as everyone pretended it was
And I believe State Dept lobbied long and hard on Biden to choose the Embassy
And I can’t believe the Military couldn’t prevail in that decision
So the civilian airport ended up being our staging area for withdrawal / evacuation / surrender / turning tail … sorry … for “retrograding”
Where the “perimeter” to defend ends up being a meter wide:
— from the airport wall that our soldiers have their backs up against
— to the sewer trench 2 steps in front of them
So for a week I’ve been convinced that Dept of State had undue influence on that Bagram decision
Today on Fox, Rep Mike Garcia of CA said roughly the same on Shannon Bream’s show, I’m waiting for a clip to post
My ear tuned in part way thru his interview and I heard some words to the effect “and at that point it became a Diplomatic mission than a Military mission”
Either in that interview or another, I heard a couple words about “and they said ‘No, that’s too many troops”, I think it was in regard to the discussion about defending both Bagram AND the Embassy”
… and I think that was referring to the fact that it’d be a bad “look” for State Dept interests
… and I think it was State Dept making that call
So my belief is we’re in this clusterf*ck because of the State Department
Would appreciate all looking for info on that decision, clips if avail
There’s gonna be some inquiry into that Bagram decision, I’ll bet – I think there’s be a couple cranky Republicans who are gonna want a hearing on it.
I doubt it can be entirely swept under the rug.
“became a Diplomatic mission MORE than a Military mission”
after seeing what they have swept under the rug for the past decades this will not be a problem. Expect more incoming to distract us and focus inward on ourselves.
This guy is a Christian evangelist who is an Israeli Jew. Going on memory, I think he is a captain in the IDF. He posted this video yesterday not too long after news of the attack started coming together.
I found it really chilling when I learned that, instead of one of the installed puppets, it was Hillary who called Trudeau when all this started.
Close air support from a defensible position is a key advantage the US has in many 2 and 3rd world theaters of operation.
Losing that requires a ground force at least three times the size of the enemy to keep our losses at minimum. Which in turn requires a significant increase in logistics over what good close air support could provide.
Asymmetrical advantages over your enemy are something you should ‘never’ give up until you are 100% out of any theater.
But partnering with the Devil (Taliban) is guaranteed blowback.
How is that smart?
Glenn Beck is in a neighboring country. Thirty hours ago, on YouTube, his sources and people said the situation might deteriorate in 24 hours. Precient.
He also claimed that folks being led down the gauntlet to the Kabul Airport were being rerouted to Kabul Hotel. He and his guest were guessing another ransom play. Americans being ushered to one location?
And the State Department not allowing planes with evacuees to land in Masadonia (?).
Why not Macedonia?
Alexander the Great, son to Phillip of Macedon, was the last foreign power to prevail in Afghanistan.
Any connection, however tenuous, that would remind the Taliban they are not invincible is anathema to the Muslim appeasers in the State Department.
Apparently the State Department is not ready for the planes to leave Afghanistan. Sounds like the ransom payments have not yet arrived.
JC M Milley… Sundance has prev post referencing this, 6/23 Milley said no need to keep it open. Woke eegit…
Scottie Miller has taken the responsibility for the Bagram decision. I believe even Milley mentioned him in some presser or hearing.
Scottie retired right after Bagram was abandoned
Miller was against abandoning Bagram but he was overruled. That is why he is taking responsibility and retiring. Any General worth his stars should have resigned in protest over the decisions being made and I mean from Milley on down.
Apparently it was Milley. He will get the blame and take the fall.
Whether Biden stays in or not is yet to be seen. He may have “health” issues.
Harris is so toxic a personality, it would be hard place her in that position for three years.
What a mess.
Both have to go but Nancy?, No.
The entire regime has to go.
Resignation isn’t a solution.
Abdication, confession and restoration of PDJT is the only way out of this.
No, we have to take control of the house in 2022 and get Trump/deSantis in 2024. Then some of the damage can be repaired.
And after Nancy? Patrick Leahy! ???
Heaven help us!
He could be controlled at that point. He’s old and feeble and scared. We could control that if we can force the other three demons to leave. JMHO.
I want that Marine w/the soy boy haircut to go down w/him. McKenzie.
They have to “find a way” to remove Harris before Biden. Than place their choice as VP. Than force Biden out. No one wants Harris.
But, but, but… 1st woman pResident.
That would be old Snaggle-Tooth himself, Big Mike Obama, uh, um, MICHAEL Robinson Obama. There, I did it again. Let me see. It’s preferred pronouns are. . . . The beautiful, smart, wonderful MICHELLE Obama!
i said that a couple days ago.harris has to go first.i think thats why she is so pissed these days.she knows she will never be president,so she’s fighting tooth and nail to either be pres or do everything she can to screw em over.
BUT they have to be careful as she is the tie breaker in the senate,if they get rid of her they have to have a couple turncoat rinos to fall in line.v.p. pick would have to be confirmed by the senate so there again a couple rinos will need to be “compensated”to vote accordingly.So who is the chosen one?mike O,i think everyone else is too toxic.
i still think back,didn’t PT sign over civilian control of the gov to the military before he left office?
Gavin Newsom might be their pick
<They have to “find a way” to remove Harris before Biden.>
Bingo!
History repeats itself…
Agnew –> Ford before Nixon resignation.
Then why put her in, in the first place?
K represents cartel interests, imo. It’s how she got to the office of VP. It’s why she’s tasked with the border. Global cartels are ok with with a weak incompetent that they control in the oval office. They have their own militaries, the executive office just adds to the forces that they control.
CIA is behind this whole thing, imo; and obummer is genetically cia.
THEY put her there to start with ! You dont think old Joe chose her on his own …
Media has been hinting the DOD argued in favor of keeping it open, and Biden overruled them.
Of course, that story depends on what day it is and who is trying to defend or attack who.
The supposed story is that Asterisk picked 600 as the number of military to remain from his butt.
Scottie Miller says he couldn’t man Bagram AND protect the embassy in Kabul with 600 men, so he decided closing Bagram was the best worse solution
You mean Obama overruled them.
According to Biden, it was the military. I’d hope he was lying. If not, we have far greater problems. Biden can be replaced with someone competent. How do you replace an incompetent military?
Most of our military are very competent. Just need to replace the woke generals at the top.
yes we are very competent, to move up in rank you have to play the woke agenda. Active AF our C17’s are in the fight!
God bless the men and women who actually do the heavy lifting in the US armed services. God protect them and their families.
Any general appointed by Obama needs to go. We can back fill with leadership with recent battlefield assignments.
About a week ago I remember someone saying there were only enough military to cover the US embassy or Bagram, but not both. The White House chose the Embassy.
Biden approved the list too and didn’t sense a problem? then he’s more brain addled than I thought
You have to remember just days ago the language coming from anyone at a podium is that we were working with the Taliban.
It’s nuts, many said when they heard it how nuts it was.
It’s like the Taliban is three fingers, ISIS K is the thumb and remaining finger of the fist that will hit you.
It’s one fist, you fools, why are you focusing on a few of the fingers and not realizing the whole fist will strike the blows?
Bidet: Work with us.
Taliban: Give us all your weapons and n million dollars.
Bidet: k.
Biden: You will need to take two paintings…
That reminds me of a S1 episode of Game of Thrones where the question is posed “What is more powerful, 5 or 1?” The actor holds up his left hand, five fingers spread, then holds up his right fist. “One.”
Well, perhaps Biden was simply instructed to approve the list.
It would have been nice if the powers that be had given real consideration to the lives of the people they are leaving to the devices of the Taliban. Not even lip service to show a modicum of responsibility.
President Trump’s honest and heartfelt message to the families of those who lost loved ones today, and to those who served over the past two decades, was really appreciated, and a stark contrast from what we got today from the installed Administration.
Has the White House bothered to lower the Flag yet?
President Trump’s message was indeed heartfelt and pitch perfect. There’s not a day that passes when I don’t wish he were in the White House. I especially wished it today.
You mean they have not ordered the flag to half mast yet?! This bunch of commie turds playacting like they are in charge are a disgrace to our great nation and the men and women in uniform who serve it, sometimes to the death!
Probably lied to him to get his approval so they could use it to blame him when the beheading videos start showing up.
Not the first time this has happened:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1990/05/21/us-officials-lists-aided-indonesian-bloodbath-in-60s/ff6d37c3-8eed-486f-908c-3eeafc19aab2/
CIA in 1966, in Indonesia.
Wasn’t Obama’s mama an anthropologist in Indonesia, about the time the CIA got caught funding social science world wide?
Yes he would, but I have serious doubts he even knew what he was doing. Right now it appears his meds are only good for short ‘press’ conferences.
I could envision Oval office discussions with him sitting at his desk and not even being coherent on what is being debated among his advisors.
That guy needs to be very afraid of this migration into this country. He may be on the receiving end of a flying lesson from a rooftop.
So at least there are others who figured out what Sundance did- let’s hope more people are paying attention.
<So at least there are others who figured out what Sundance did- let’s hope more people are paying attention.>
Either that…or Poso reads CTH 🙂
Many people do.
Poso was on Warroom discussing this long before this article. Bannon was on this all day.
Yeah, it was pretty clear that the See Eye Eh was colluding with the enemy when that See Eye Eh top turd went to jawbone with the head of the terrorists. Now, with added insights from Sundance, we have our Suspicious Cat suspicions confirmed. Maybe we should put Suspicious Cat in charge of the Fedgov with Sundance as his top advisor?
Thanks, TL!
I was unaware of that.
So Biden is, obviously, on the DOD/NSC side of this equation… but is Harris?
Trying to find her complete Congressional Committee assignment history is a bit confusing, but it looks like she served on the Select Committee for Intelligence and Homeland Security & Government Affairs.
Does that align her with the State/CIA faction?
And if so, would that mean that the President and Vice President are on opposing teams?
And would that mean if Biden takes a massive political hit over this disaster, it would be in the State/CIA’s interest to insulate Harris from the outfall?
I think my point is pretty clear by now…
Their camps have been at war since the git-go. I agree with you, keeler, Mattress Back the Ho is a See Eye Eh stooge. Notice how she disappears every time there is a disaster and the Dementia Patient in Chief asks her to step up? She’s setting him up.
K’s thread leads to cartels, imo; thru h’wood, parts of the music industry, a Russian and a Ukraine oligarch, and the Kennedy school.
Explains her role as border czar, imo.
Interesting. I never considered this relationship as one of Reagan and Ol’ NWO Bush.
And who headed both State and CIA for Trump? Kinda strange.
CIA then State — Pompeo…
And doesn’t he talk such a good game? I can’t trust any of them. My last shred of trust was trampled and now I have become Ghost of Suspicious Cat.
ISIS-K is the new terrorist variant. Push the military to the limits and see what happens.
Anni Cyrus on Brannon Howse’s show laughed at “ISIS K”. She should know. A child sold by her father as a child bride and under 15 years of evil Islamist control, who escaped and came to the US to spread the word of truth.
I think the purpose of the “list” was not to help Americans and Afghans trying to escape but to provide the Taliban (at their request) with the names of their hostages, for which ransoms will eventually be extracted.
Unless you think that the Taliban manning checkpoints are able to find and read English names on a list, and then be motivated to let them pass, thus losing millions of dollars in ransom.
This may explain their seizing US passports at checkpoints, instead of allowing the bearers to pass. In other words, they do not want them to go anywhere at the moment.
I suspect over 20 years, even an Afghan employee who isn’t very bright would likely catch on to the massive amount of graft going on over there.
Convenient that the CIA dropped by to say hello, then the list comes out.
Cleaning up loose ends. But getting someone else to do it for you who you know will be thorough.
I would so not want to be an American stranded in Afghanistan on the twentieth anniversary of 9/11.
Try Rudyard Kipling’s “The young British soldier” – particularly the last verse
“When you’re wounded and left on Afghanistan’s plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An’ go to your Gawd like a soldier.”
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
So-oldier of the Queen!”

Compare and contrast
Yep. I remember Dad reading that to me when I was very small. “Save the last bullet for yourself” was one of his sayings when things got testy.
Interesting theory. This then give Obama cover for giving his Muslim brothers tons of currency after we are out of their.
I see it from a different lens. A broader view. — No matter if it is State/CIA or Pentagon/White House — it is billed as – Biden’s Fiasco….
It appears to me – this Event was designed to — get Biden out + whoever they wanted all along in — in.
The reporting of this story falls into a broader campaign to condition the battlefield for the greater campaign of this Regime Change Op aimed at Civilization itself.
Many guessed during the “Election” – Biden was just a placeholder for Harris or someone else.
Now it looks like they chose Humiliation in Afghanistan as the means for making the change.
Laura Logan was absolutely correct: There are so many different ways Afghanistan could have gone – the fact it has gone so badly is almost certainly —– By Choice…. I also don’t believe for a second the Analysts + Planners + others had —- no clue things could collapse this quickly.
The MSM that —- went all out to facilitate —— the most demoralizing, openly corrupt, fraudulent “Election” in US History. —— So – they are doing everything in their Power to defend Biden now, right….?
— Wrong. — That’s a HUGE clue…. If Mega $ had ordered the MSM to continue being a propaganda arm for Biden, they would be doing it…
Angelina Jolie — a UN Spokesman — told her followers to — bash Biden. —- Jolie is an Occultist/Illuminist. There is a video – secretly shot – of Jolie talking to a small group of friends about —– her initiation ceremony – Eyes Wide Shut-style – that was videoed which her friends watched + commented on. — Like, how she could make it thru the — sexual torture she endured – Alaistair Crowley-style… All we need now is Bono + Lebron James to be tapped to use their social influence to turn people against Biden….
Mega $ did not move Heaven & Earth to steal the last Election for nothing. They did not EXPOSE to the world how — UTTERLY Corrupt our institutions have become for nothing. — They could not wait 4 years to get Trump out…
—– They must have —- Earth-shaking things planned for the next few years….
Do they want Biden to be the figurehead QB for them…???
Was the deal always that — he’d get to run one last time to pocket untold millions of $ – then move on to retirement in some secure location — as Mega $ moves Heaven & Earth to Save the Planet from — Useless Eaters…
To evaluate Afghanistan Today – to me – you have to link it to the last Election + Covid + the rising Medical Tyranny….
2020-2040 is the period they have been pointing to for a long time. — It began with a Bioweapon.
These people are — Deadly Serious.
This is the excuse for Biden to give up/”lose” the Oval Office…
Time will tell…
That is pretty far out. Sources?
On which?
Did you notice some talking heads in the Election saying Biden was not the real choice? Google it.
Look up – Club of Rome, 1972, MIT, Civilization Collapse, 2020, 2040. That was an open press release.
Look up – Agenda 21 (2030). 2020-2040 has been mentioned a good bit in the UN + think tanks Mega $ owns.
Look up – Leo Zagami, Confessions vol 2, 2016. Over 4 years ago, he told us 2020 was all the chatter among the secret societies.
In 2019, a record number of CEOs resigned.
I had been waiting some years to see what 2020 would bring. When it began with a super-hype about a Bioweapon jointly developed with China — I knew —- they are deadly serious.
I also knew — they would never allow Trump to have a 2nd Term. The tea leaves pointing to a Steal were out there. I started saying in Jan 2020 – Trump would “lose” in the most massive Fraud in US History + they did not care how obvious it is because they had lined up our institutions to support it…
I wish I had been wrong. I hope I’m wrong now – but – I have to go where the data points lead me….
The same $ that began the Climate Change religion are behind this. They are Saving Mother Earth. They warned us in many ways this is what they were going to do —- take over —- in favor of a global Technocracy.
Yes. Georgia Guidestones as well. “Keep the population at no more than 500million.” These Illumanists are deadly serious and they want all of us free thinking liberty lovers dead. Period. We gum up their works.
https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/dutch-banker-ronald-bernard-blows-the-whistle-on-worlds-satanic-elite/
Look up the interview (Dutch with subtitles) in 2 parts with Ronald Bernard. He lays it out. He was in the elites. He was their banker. He saw the human sacrifices. He learned what they were up to.
Research.
I have seen some from him. — Things like Leo Zagami’s 2016 Confessions vol 2 stand out much more – because – he made near-time predictions — which came true.
He claimed insider knowledge. He had loads of pictures of him with stated Secret Society insiders. We know many Elites are members of such societies, because they keep their inner workings secret but not that they exist or that they are members…
Zagami’s 2016 book is a warning about — 2020. That’s what caught my attention – because the Club of Rome’s 1972 press release claiming Science proved Civilization would turn to rapid collapse in a specific year: 2020.
Zagami believed huge challenges – a tribulation – would precede 2020. That did not happen – but – 2020 has certainly ——- shaken the foundations of the whole planet.
We think alike. But you put into words.
Here is a much more cynical take, that involves less stupidity and more calculation:
SUNDANCE WROTE:
1] It was a decision by the DoS and CIA to share the list … (oops ???)
2] Scrutiny on either team runs the risk of identifying massive corruption… (correct)
THE MIRACLE IT PRODUCES:
If there was massive corruption going on ($2 trillion dollars), then all of those helpers, collaborators & contractors would be in a position to blow the whistle on the corruption or BLACKMAIL those involved above them (to pledge their silence), if they were to be evacuated to the United States.
By providing the list to the Taliban, it provides the most expedient method of solving that problem. The list is essentially a CIA/DoS “EXECUTION LIST”.
It is not any different than what Stalin did during the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. There Stalin supported the Polish Government in Exile (who opposed Stalin and wanted a free Poland) to revolt, promising to link up with them, but instead halted his army allowing the Nazi’s to cleanly liquidate his political opponents.
Oh!!! But not the USA!!! Who would never rig an election and install a President. Generate two bogus impeachments. Charge General Mike Flynn, bury the Hunter Biden Laptop, allow 10% for the “Big Guy”, etc. etc. etc.
Same as what I was thinking and commented above. I don’t believe they want to target US contractors. They are targeting the Afghan contractors with this.
US contractors would know the fraud going on, and shut up about it to keep those paychecks coming in.
Man, that’s a lot to unpack.
My head is spinning at maximum velocity.Which is what they want…..to usher in Communism, make the pain so unbearable that the peons will submit to stop the pain!
I believe there is an endgame for the planners. My guess- who do all Muslims hate? Israel first, America. Muslims would love to wipe out Israel– they have said so many times. A nuclear explosion has seemed like their endgame, but where would all the radioactive fallout go? Right over the Muslim countries. So how do they make it happen? Now the Muslims have tons of military material. An invasion by millions of Muslims through Palestine may now be in the cards. Who is planning all this? What Muslims have been in power in America? Obama, Brennan, Jarrett.
Why would it not be the case that the list is a Preservation List?
If the Taliban was given the objective of securing the protection of the List with good things to come for doing so, and BAD things to come for failing by degrees, then it would be a carrot/stick approach.
Sure, the List could be taken and turned into a hostage roster. If the List is a group that is now beyond help, then there is no downside, as they could all become casualties. The upside is that the List is rounded up and extracted from potential (or actual) hostage takers and delivered to the USA. This would be a good thing.
The point I make is that, IF this is the intent, it is not necessarily a bad development. Sure, it makes for a hit list, but it also places the recipients–and their heirs–in the hot seat for failing to deliver. It may be a failed bargain, but at base it creates a duty to protect under penalty of TBD.
If that was the intent, it’s a non-starter because they are too weak to even threaten bad things.
I pretty sure the Taliban only works with a stick cause I’ve never seen them offer a carrot.
They are Islamists. Submit. Submit or die. There is no room for meek, mild, mercy stuff in Islam.
Islam means submission. It is all they know. They put a scimitar to your neck and you say the shahadah or they will relieve you of your head.
Poso on Gettr: Sullivan and multiple NSC officials checking with White House Counsel if the Admin faces legal exposure for providing material support to the Taliban, per WH official
https://gettr.com/post/p8y9mbc949
Sounds like high crimes and misdemeanors.
But who will charge and prosecute them ? NO ONE! Nancy is concentrating on communications with Trump and the 1/6 rally. More arrests of Conservatives only!
Why would it not? Was not the Taliban an officially named terrorist group? If so, what legally must be done to remove them?
I am thinking of when Clinton and Maddie Albright were appeasing the NorKs. I thought they wanted to remove them from state sponsor of terror list, but it had to go through Congress.
I still remember Albright wanting to change the names of the State sponsors of terror to “States of concern”.
Yeah. Albright. Another foreigner given too high a position in the FedGov. Like Kissinger before her, her loyalty is somewhere else. Did she call our loyal and brave troops “dumb animals to be used to advance diplomacy” like Super Kraut did? These people are beyond despicable.
ROFLMAO. Like the military will step in and court-martial them for treason? Like that panty-waist Meritless Garfunkel at DOJ will do anything? Like Wray the punk would ever send a “woke” “diversity hire” to investigate? We are so screwed if we think the present institutions will help with this mess that they themselves helped to install and underpin.
The current regime might not survive the 2022 election.
What is the statute of limitation on treason?
Hmmm…The CIA gives a kill list to the terrorists.
The terrorists then kill people on the list, this is then “leaked” out by the CIA to the MSM, which adds more pressure for Uncle Joe to resign.
Uncle Joe has served his purpose and now the CIA wants the once useful idiot out of the way.
Another assassination like President Kennedy’s is out of the question because it brings to much heat.
I think the coming ‘hostages’ for cash is a cover for Obama to give his Muslim brothers currency. Keep in mind these American as worth more to the Taliban alive than dead under this scenario.
Modify the focus of your review of events in/around Afghanistan to see the connective tissue between CNN, the State Department and CIA [strongest institution within the Intelligence Branch]. Then keep in mind, the Senate is in alignment with, and a facilitator for, the Intelligence Branch. As a consequence, the institution of the Senate will align with the interests of the State Department; and, by default align with the CIA, intelligence community and CNN/WaPo reporting. And, by extension the CIA’s drug trade in Afghanistan.
As a reminder from earlier work, we know that the State Department takes an active role in making sure money for politicians makes it’s way into the right hands. Then what about the drug money from Afghanistan?
Snoopy Says: The drug money from AFG is being used for the Taliban to purchase oil from Iran. Thus the dollars move around the sanctions to support the mullahs. WSJ reported this yesterday and I posted it a couple of times
It’s all smoke and mirrors to hide Odumbo and his globalist puppet masters plan to equip the hate Isreal Muslim nations with military equipment and cash to continue their plan of eliminating Israel. A by product is the exposure of the intentionally placed eunuchs in key positions through out the fraudulent stolen Joebama administration. Sure the players in the deep state swamp could be exposed. So what if your plan is to crush the US from within and turn up the hate against Israel
You can tell this is a battle between swamp rats.
How did anyone know some State Derp list was given to the Taliban? Who knew that and fed it to the media?
Same as the report on another list found on the floor in the British embassy. Who would know of that list if the embassy has been evacuated and the Taliban control it?
This seems tit-for-tat for earlier reporting of DOD losing thousands of biometric devices.
Each of these agencies have been clawing at each other using media leaks since this FUBAR situation began. The media happily go along being used reporting their clever little attacks on each other.
…and all are too busy CYA’ing to bother coming up with coherent plans to save those they abandoned.
The State Derpartment. I going to have to steal this misspelling for the future lol
Many pundits have predicted that around the time of the Arizona audit report release, the Biden Regime would manufacture an international crisis to distract from the findings that he is an illegitimate president. Logic says that if you are going to manufacture a crisis, at least create one that will cause the people to rally around you. Instead, the situation in Bidenistan spun out of control and they are dealing the best hand they have right now, as bad as it is. So, here we are. You can see it now. When the Arizona audit report is released in the next few weeks (hopefully sooner), the news cycle will be too busy covering Bidenistan and the commies will then attack as extremists anyone who dares to challenge the president while he is trying to “lead” the country during such a dire crisis. Some conveniently timed Covid lockdowns may also occur in the next few weeks to prevent the people from protesting the Bidenistan disaster and the evidence of mass election fraud that will be revealed in the Arizona audit report. Just sayin’.
Too much inside baseball for me that really means nothing. They’re all in it together and equally guilty. They all need to hang.
I think I heard, possibly from Prosobiec, that the regime was scrambling around talking to lawyers about the legality of giving the Taliban those names. As in…providing material support to a designated terrorist organization makes them enemy combatants that could be tried by the mitary for treason. Any thoughts on that?
Legality? You think any of them are concerned about legality?
Who would prosecute them? The “Just Us” Department?
Pretty much my sentiment as well. I can’t imagine they’d give two poops about it.
We are well past None Dare Call it Treason.
c?a may be cunning, but not smart.
they may not know or care about the law.
they may know it’s a good bet,
based on the pressure they can exert,
that nobody will prosecute.
but that is a heck of an avenue to pursue, imo.
p.s.: the comments so far are impressively thoughtful and well reasoned, especially so early! ?
some mighty smart people out there!
Clicking through UTube tonight I actually broke down and watched Glenn Beck. He claims tomorrow he is going to blow a lid. He and David Barton both were saying the State Dept is deliberately preventing people from leaving. One country had opened its doors as a place to put people until things got sorted and the State Dept called them up and told them not to do it. Then that country called up Beck and said they were sorry but could no longer take the plane load of people.
One plane was in the air w/women and children and the State Dept made them turn around mid-air. Young male men I could understand, but women and children? They told other stories of how the State Dept is the evil culprit. I am no fan of Beck, but I sure hope he talks and names names.
Anyone watch him regularly? I am curious what is that scar on his face? Like I said I have not watched anything he is done in years.
Somewhere in my travels this evening, don’t remember where, someone said that 1500 workers at the Kabul Embassy had not been rescued. I am peeved about the willy nilly refugees on a plane when “Americans” aren’t being helped, but I am really peeved that the Embassy workers are being thrown under the bus when they are right there. If I remember correctly they were one of the groups told to stay put until further notice, seems to me if they all stayed put, there should have been a way to get to the Embassy to load them up and get them to the tarmac.
I heard the Taliban leader say, in an interview,” we will not let our women leave”
I caught some of Beck’s show yesterday and earlier in the week. Those women and children are Christians that Beck and the Nazarene Fund are trying to evacuate. They are dead if they stay.
My blood has been boiling for three days. I am waiting for his show to start a few minutes after 0800 central time. Hit the 97.5 FM stream player.

Funny the way it is when I think about it, if this fiasco had happened on President Trump’s watch, the “media” would be BLASTING the views of the Hill Billy Clintons, Mitch McConnell, the list goes on.
It’s interesting how ALL are running SILENT and DEEP. Like the submarine in the movie RED OCTOBER. That NOT A PEEP is coming from all of the usual suspects is very interesting.
Maybe the Deep State will resurrect Mueller from the grave that he dug for himself, at our expense of course, to inform us exactly what the fork is going on.
I used to wait for explanations., or at least have something to evaluate for myself. No more. Because there is NOTHING.
At the very best Sundance, and the CTH community. Thank you all.
Oh wait I forgot Bill Barr and Durham. Too funny.
Doesn’t anyone find it strange that ultimately this whole situation makes everything Biden touches turns to shit? Yet again …
Can anyone be this incompetent? But wait, Biden is just a senile old puppet? If so then who? Who is pulling all these glorious strings that only achieve this one outcome? And its not just Biden, or the U.S either, its worldwide. Everything ‘they’ are doing turns to shit. Talk about ballsing everything up, or is that the way its supposed to be?
President Trump had to go away for a little (his words) and since then? Have ‘they’ done one thing right? Macron in France. How smart is it to tell the French people you have no choice? Australia going full on 1984. Masks, vaccines, lockdowns, price rises …its like hang on a minute, the Taliban have done what? What could go wrong has gone wrong. These are the same people who pulled off the greatest swindles in human history. They got a Muslim in the White House for Pete’s sake. These people where unstoppable. And now? Joe Biden and Kamala Harris? Come on man. President Dementia and his sidekick giggles?
Wakey wakey.
Remember Obama said he would love a “stand in” if he could get a third term
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/obama/video-2303768/Video-Obama-jokes-term-missing-fascinating-work.html
What I don’t seem to understand and why it is not being discussed more: is how the Afghan Government ceded power to the Taliban in the first place? Turn the way back machine some and look at this question a little deeper! It’s frustrating to have to look in the weeds for the obvious answers!
They made a deal. That’s why it happened to quickly with only token resistance.
When the FED canceled the scheduled money plane, Afghan leadership left the country, according to Afghan central banker Ajmal Ahmady.
Both teams SUCK!
And both teams are aligned against US.
Correct, its like two mob organizations fighting each other.
Keep it simple Sundance,
The State Department and CIA handle foreign corruption and the IRS, DOJ and FBI cover domestic treason. The military is neutralized at the top with horrific generals.
I expect it will be Israel, Netanyahu who savess our asses.
Netanyahu no longer is the prime minister.
The list is nothing new. They left all of their records, including biometric data. That info had been out for days.
This kinda’ remind me of Delusional Joe giving hid buddy Putin a list.
in this sh1t show all of our enemies get a list. You get a list, you get a list, you get a list…
How many of our names are on these lists? 😉
How many John Galts can they find? When the time comes, break your sim, destroy your sd card, and pitch that tracker phone/tablet into the sewer plant sludge. Then go Galt.
At this point, defunding the IC and MIC makes a lot of sense. They do very little good for this country and a whole lot of bad
they control the people responsible for allocating and distributing the funding as well as all the different illegal methods for obtaining billions…think human and drug trafficking and blackmail and extortion.
… Yes, and defund Congress!
Someone better hold on to the last copy of the U.S. Constitution before it goes through the shredder. It may be important later. After the dust settles.
Communism vs. Fascism.
Scottish Rite vs. York Rite.
But under the 13 families at the top, there is no rite and the “there is a smile of smiles where the two smiles [one of love and one of hate] become one.” (H/T William Blake, “The Smile.” [brackets mine])
And this is only the 1st 7 mos….
These are BHO subordinates leading the world and the USA.
Where is jill???? Where’s the Doc????? She was part of ‘the plan’ to place Joe in a position he could never do and was unhealthy to take on. SHOW YOUR FACE, Jill…. Your little historic soiree of historic 1st lady has BLOOD and DEATH attached.
It’s ALL crumbling. They have no common sense, no military tactical presence, intelligence nor strength to handle THE WORLD. THey can’t handled a 3rd world’s country desert rat pack.
Our base was given away. Our military ammo, equip, tanks, helicopters were given away…AWAY> WE THE TAXPAYER paid every penny of those costs…..NOT FOR THE damn Taliban………..
Joe Biden: nothing will ever happen to him bad enough to offset this. Nothing will happen to Milley, Austin, Generals, Blinken, et als bad enough to cover the bloodshed and death. THEY ARE FOREVER cowards and have no worthiness to exist in the USA.
USA MILITARY: Wake-up call. YOU HAVE NO SUPPORT. Guard yourselves, Do what is best for you, your family. YOU WILL BE sacrificed in the name of politics by Biden, Milley, Austin, DOD, Generals, State Dept…..THEY WILL WASTE YOUR BODIES and allow the Taliban, ISIS, Al Queda to murder and torture you…
THIS COUNTRY has seen one of its darkest days EVER and THIS GOVT is in freefall…….
WE THE PEOPLE are in peril…..
Material support given to terrorists is a very serious crime because the Taliban by law are a terrorist organization.
The state department and the Clowns In Action are always working both sides of the fence no matter how much American blood their responsible for spilling
Under Obama they were committing this and other crimes all the time.
But ‘cash’ for American hostages is another way to ‘get’ around this.
The Afghanistan debacle was a carefully planned out escapade and will have far reaching implications that will be playing out for the next several weeks. The media shills will be ecstatic that the American people will be turning them back on to see the latest developments. The talking heads will do their best to obfuscate and bamboozle the people about what’s happening in Afghanistan. They will also do their best to attack Larry Elder, Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis,the AZ audit findings and advance the agenda. We live in bazaar times. JoeBama will probably be a candidate for the Nobel peace prize. Remember his mentor got one for doing nothing.
everybody makes money, except us. And they will totally cover over and hide anything that disputes or detracts from their party line.
Someone posted this: This is the government our founders warned us about.
And no way out.
CONGRESS is worthless…they only care about $$$, greed, corruption. THEY DON’T CARE. Neither dems nor republicans give one damn…They ALL do now that there is blood and death. The day before, NOT A WORD OR CARE…
WE HAVE TO RISE UP and TANK CONGRESS….TURN ALL OUT…We’ve been in Afghan in 20Y. MOST IF NOT ALL Congress has been there 20Y OR MORE….THAT IS THE PROBLEM>>>>>>>
And don’t tell me, oh, MY congressman is great…I don’t know ONE THAT IS GREAT??????????? NONE
MTG.
The word is, is that the CIA pulled their people out ahead of time. Now they have provided a list of the people who worked for the military and you go Hmm…
I heard that Kamala was a Big Tech choice pushed on Team Joe.
The CIA and State Department clearly don’t mind using Joe as a puppet and humiliating him on a grand scale.
All the contempt that the Deep State showed toward Trump, that won’t just go away. It’s always been there for every Mr. Smith that went to Washington. Trump was a gift that exposed all that.
They know they’ve been outed. So they’ll get bolder now.
What will the CIA and State Department do to Kamala? They’ll push her out, eventually, and not to subtly.
That list Biden gave the Taliban put targets on their backs.
I expect the military to have a steep decline in enlistments after this, and an increase in retiring.
I also expect Joe, before leaving, to sign a document allowing refugees or illegal/legal immigrants to enlist to fast track citizenship.
That’s how the Deep State gets the pliable military force it wants – and how it breaks the fidelity bond between citizens and military once and for all.
We were doing the Roman army thing for Mexicans and Filipinos. I don’t know when it ended.
Exactly, the collapse of the effectiveness of the Roman army occurred in the same way. Which then participated the collapsed the Tyrannical government since no one will risk their lives for paycheck; especially when paid in the form of coin with rapidly diminishing silver content and thus no real purchasing power.
In the early days of the Roman republic, in one battle, one third of the current Senators were killed. Think of various MAGA representatives we have now ‘also’ fighting in battle.
That civilian-military fidelity bond is what keeps a soldier from shooting at his or her own people when ordered to.
So Team 1 and Team 2 are like the Taliban and ISIS-K? They ally when necessary to defeat a common enemy– in this case the American people– but are antagonists otherwise. We have a similar set-up to Afghanistan. How strange.
Which team do you put the FBI on? Or do they swing both ways?
Ahh, Baby Boomers who went to grad school, became lawyers, entered government service…cheering on the Peace Corps to the max! Other Boomers went into legislation, education, etc. All wanted to make a change, one way or the other.
The enlightened rose up to rule over the rubes, and why not? Rubes are, by definition, dummy than a sack of hammers.
Note the group versus the individual game that has been at play for many years now. The wolf pack comes for the buffalo.
Comey is still skating after his alignment with Hillary and her team. No one has been found guilty of any crime during the Trump period…oh so you think that young lawyer who got his hands slapped proves my point wrong? You bough into that game pal! Nobody has been brought to justice over anything.
And who are the real terrorists now? White boys of America are…silly me! Billy Barr still plays his bagpipes for his friends.
No one has seen John Durham, he might be hiding with D.B. Cooper. Wray is cleaning house of those agents who have a spine.
Some laws we rubes have to follow, other laws the elites just say no and keep on skating.
All the seeds for a real revolution in America seem to be getting planted, not by a John Deere machine, rather a democrat machine., with of course some help from a few stand up republicans…Baby Boomers all!
You can’t beat your enemy without knowing your enemy, but first one needs to know himself. Look for our own Wyatt Earp to soon enter the game once more!
As a baby boomer, I can assure you that everything you say is correct. We are a plague on America and won’t go away. Can’t think of a single thing we’ve constructively added to our society. As a country we will be much better off when we’re gone, although if modern healthcare persists(not sure if it will since we destroy everything we touch) we’ll be around another 20 years or so pontificating from our wheelchairs.
I take great umbrage with characterizing an entire generation, surely one as large as the “baby boom” generation in dark terms. It is a reductio ad absurdum.
I dislike being referred to as a “slacker” and “latch key kid” by Baby Boomer-aged people because those are generalizations and lies cast upon my generation. I was not a latch-key kid and I am no slacker. I know great and fearless Americans in the Baby Boom generation who are not on board with destroying the USA for any ideology and never were “idealist communist idiots.”
Can we please not call names against generations at the Treehouse? Here’s another instance: My Zoomer son is not a useless beanie-wearing wokester. He’s a patriotic young man who wanted to enlist in the USAF like his grandfather until I had the discussion about who would be commanding him and who would be requiring his life. Some Zoomers are hard working (kidlet has his own pressure-washing business at 16) and want to be in the trades (he wants to be a mechanic) and make this country great again and not waste time at a woketard university spending money on a useless degree.
Let’s all unite as Americans of any age. My Silent Generation parents helped educate this country and helped us reach the Moon and to defeat the Soviets. They were not grifting POS’s like Joke Bribe-em.
Singular examples of members in each generation would make any of us cringe.
Pal, you sound like those girls who some years back started saying “I don’t judge people!” “I have no right to judge others!”
I am going to throw you a bone of “knowledge” you may wish to explore:
“Generation of Narcissus” by Henry Malcolm copywright 1971, with intro by R. Buckminster Fuller,
thanks for speaking up.
boomer’s parents were persons of great consequence, known as the Greatest Generation;
boomers elected P. Reagan (twice);
boomer’s children have had a tough road to negotiate, but defy easy labels (sort of the ‘silent generation’ of our time.)
factions in the boomer generation are radical, but most boomers loathe them more than anybody else does.
so having corrected the record by doing exactly what you are rightfully advising against (??),
i agree with you – there is enough divisiveness going around without ill-advised, cheap shots at entire generations.
i think the emphasis you make on INDIVIDUALS is perfectly aligned with the spirit of the country as founded.
take care.
While you’re not wrong about all harm the Baby Boomers have done, the fact is once they die off America is finished. They are the only ones holding off the hard commies and statists that are massive in the youth. Trust me when I say it’s bad. It’s really, really bad. I know, I’m part of that mess. When the baby boomer bloc is gone, there’s a very short window before the US goes full Venezuela.
The screams of US citizens in Afghanistan falling on Joe’s and Kamala’s deaf ears portend the rest of our screams as they implement their fascist agenda where our personal right no longer have any meaning.
There comes a moment in every presidency where the C_A (deep state) informs the president (through public actions) that the deep state is in charge. And from that point forward, they have the president by the balls.
