Team one (DoS/CIA) are really putting Team two (WH/DoD) on the defensive with this leak. [Pentagon video at bottom]
According to a Politico report, using leaked classified intelligence from the U.S. intel community, the Pentagon knew well in advance that a suicide bomber was coming to the Abbey Gate long before the explosion. According to the leak, the military knew where and when the attack was coming; and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned allies to avoid the area.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Joint Chief’s Chariman Mark Milley, and CentCom Commander General Kenneth McKenzie all knew in advance the Abbey Gate was going to be bombed on Thursday, yet they kept the gate open.
(Politico) – Just 24 hours before a suicide bomber detonated an explosive outside Hamid Karzai International Airport, senior military leaders gathered for the Pentagon’s daily morning update on the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan.
Speaking from a secure video conference room on the third floor of the Pentagon at 8 a.m. Wednesday — or 4:30 p.m. in Kabul — Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin instructed more than a dozen of the department’s top leaders around the world to make preparations for an imminent “mass casualty event,” according to classified detailed notes of the gathering shared with POLITICO.
During the meeting, Gen. Mark Milley, the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, warned of “significant” intelligence indicating that the Islamic State’s Afghanistan affiliate, ISIS-K, was planning a “complex attack,” the notes quoted him as saying. Commanders calling in from Kabul relayed that the Abbey Gate, where American citizens had been told to gather in order to gain entrance to the airport, was “highest risk,” and detailed their plans to protect the airport.
“I don’t believe people get the incredible amount of risk on the ground,” Austin said, according to the classified notes.
On a separate call at 4 that afternoon, or 12:30 a.m. on Thursday in Kabul, the commanders detailed a plan to close Abbey Gate by Thursday afternoon Kabul time. But the Americans decided to keep the gate open longer than they wanted in order to allow their British allies, who had accelerated their withdrawal timeline, to continue evacuating their personnel, based at the nearby Baron Hotel.
American troops were still processing entrants to the airport at Abbey Gate at roughly 6 p.m. in Kabul on Thursday when a suicide bomber detonated his explosive vest there, killing nearly 200 people, including 13 U.S. service members. (read more)
Pentagon Spokesperson John Kirby was furious about the intelligence leak when questioned earlier today. WATCH:
.
The U.S. State Department and Intelligence Community (Team 1) are really targeting the White House and Pentagon (Team 2) with this leak.
The deepest part of the Deep State is attempting to protect itself.
Fascinating, given Sundance’s identification of the teams and players. Really appreciate how his insight brings light to all this.
Sounds about right.
The Australian military have said publicly they withdrew the SAS from that gate area prior to, due to intel on a bomb threat.
Watch Kirby – he never stops wringing his hand and popping his knuckles – you can hear the knuckles.
The people who wrote LtCol Scheller on FB (over 4000) were the best of the best. They were patriots who love this country They praised and thanked him for his bravery. It was awesome reading their comments. We need to latch on to voices like those. They restore our confidence that we are not alone nor are we in the minority!
I keep trying to figure out what the motivation for this whole debacle is. Like someone said, “if the US government wanted it to be done differently it would have been done differently”. None of this was a mistake or mis calculation. This was deliberate. The question I have is why. I have two theories. One optimistic, one pessimistic.
My pessimistic theory is that the current biden government is simply doing as much damage as possible. They are causing as much damage to our reputation and global standing as quickly as possible. At the same time they are pitting the State dept against the WH. Further damaging our internal institutions and further dividing the country. This theory assumes they are causing all this death, destruction and chaos in order to profit from the mayhem.
My optimistic theory is that they are behaving much like the Iraqi army did when they were retreating through Kuwait near the end of gulf war 1. Lighting oil rigs on fire as they fell back to Iraq. Under this theory the biden government knows their time is limited for some reason and they are simply doing as much damage as possible on their way out.
My theory is that the current Biden administration is being run by the CCP and allowing Obama to handle the puppet strings…it’s the only thing that makes sense.
I have thought that from the beginning of this debacle. Joe, bought and paid for by China, who has their eyes on Afghanistan. There is an upper echelon of our government whose every member needs tried for treason.
Your second para is spot on. The fraudulent regime in D.C> is a Wrecking Crew, trying to do as much damage as they can before they are dragged from office. They know just as well as we do that they are illegitimate, and that their time is limited.
They’ll never be dragged out unless it’s by an angry mob hellbent on bloody murder. There time is limited? They own the voting machines and the people who count the vote. If you aren’t aware that the pretense of the democratic process was dropped in 2020 because covid will provide all the means necessary to control us at their will, you’ve lost the plot.
Your right on there! We need to head to DC and take it back!!
But their behavior makes more of their voters agree they need to go. Makes no sense.
For real. I am wondering if the suspension of the Gold Star mom from a couple platforms for (I assume) criticizing the regime will awaken/alarm those that hate Trump.
I’d like to think the Uniparty is going too far for even folks that call themselves Democrats
It was done because Joe Biden is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Chinese Communist Party. Those red bastards are going to waltz into Afghanistan now a hoover up all the rare earth minerals there worth a gazillion dollars. The rare earth minerals necessary to defend our nation, equip our fighting forces, and power our economy, our current and future technology, space exploration, etc. The CCP has already captured the vast majority of the world’s lithium deposits during the plandemic. You need these elements to power technology, and the Chinese will own it all without firing a shot.
Methinks we will soon wake up to the news that the air wing of the PLA has occupied Bagram Air Base … but only to make it suitable for CCP-owned airlines to operate for mostly peaceful purposes, of course.
And 10% goes to The Big Guy for that favor …
Remembering the fine art work from Hunter is for sale to the highest bidder.
I predict Intel/State are leaking this “squirrel” to distract while their Taliban partners move and secure the arsenal we gave them. As soon as that’s accomplished, we will fake bomb the Bagram Air Base to show the Biden admin’s toughness. The relocated weapons (that will no longer exist, according to the Pentagon) will then be sold to terror groups worldwide and the Obamas will get a bigger, better compound in CA or HI, perhaps.
Or Kenya.
Guantanamo.
Wondering…. is there a small, limited-range EMP device that could render the equipment useless?
I think it is to take Biden out. Deep State says out.
In part I believe you are correct. But, and in addition, President Alfred E. Newman wants to stand at the podium on 09/11/2021 and say, ” I got us out of Afghanistan and the war on terror is won.”
And then someone will blow up Pelosi’s freezers.
I think it’s because they are trying to instigate enough anger in America that ppl will take up arms against them so that they can use that to usher in martial law. They’ve been poking the bear to get a reaction because it’s the reaction they need to give them excuse to bring on a totalitarian state.
Agreed, but I think like all wanna-be Marxists/socialists/communists/totalitarianists IOW democRATS they’ve over-played their hand. Anyone with half a brain knows in their hearts that the election was fraudulent. Covid was the pre-planned excuse for the mail-in ballots to enable massive fraud. Dominion just allowed them to know how many votes they had to change/steal.
They have insulted, disrespected, lied to, cheated and/or kicked to the curb hunters, church-goers, small business owners, conservatives,Southerners, caucasions, local police, Nat’l Guard, now the rank and file military. So who is gonna enforce the Martial Law decree?
I don’t disagree, at all.
We always have to remind ourselves that the folk running the show live by the mantra, “Never let a crisis go to waste.”
That’s a particularly wicked philosophy that a rational mind has difficulty grasping.
The irrational destruction (of most everything) we see on a daily basis is the evidence.
Yes, they know the fraud election is about to be laid wide open and State Legislators of four battleground states will recall their electors and overturn the election. This has never happened before and there is no provision of the constitution to fall back on. Therefore a court, most likely the SCOTUS will have to make a decision on common or established law that a contract under fraud is not a valid contract and must be vacated. This means the 2020 election is null and void, the remedy of which is to install the rightful winner of the election.
Good sense of humor you have, lol.
We’ll know he’s serious about an investigation when he starts talking Lindsey Graham.
Concur. The inter-turf warfare is going to get spicier than 2 cats in a gunny sack.
As Sundance has said, once you’ve seen the strings on the puppet, you’ll never not see them. And Sundance’s revelations about the intelligence state and the rot that has infested our federal government, inform this whole episode. Let’s hope they all expose one another and that it leads to a new age of freedom from these corruptocrats.
It is clear that the illegitimate criminal traitor regime wanted maximum loss of life, economic damage and international humiliation from this fiasco, which they were in on from the start. The only possible explanation is that they have been ordered by their Chicom masters to collapse the United States this year. The same may be true of the ongoing national suicide of Australia, for which the Chicoms may be paying the Australian politicians so that China can take an economically collapsed and socially imploded Australia. Xi Jinping can then take Taiwan and the Philippines at his leisure, and then mop of Southeast and South Asia country by country. All that will be needed then is for a Europe enfeebled by the Chicom virus and by mohammedan invasion to fall into Putin’s hands and the current puppet regime here to fall and be replaced by Ocrazio Cortez and an overtly marxist government and we will have the three superstates of “1984”, ready to bring Orwell’s grim vision to life. The boot really will stamp on the human face forever then.
The best place to be in that book is with the Deplorables.
We will have rifles behind every blade of grass!
I had forgotten that China is pissed at Australia. What you say makes a lot of sense.
Planned and coordinated. Meanwhile Americans are turned away at the airport. But bidone? He be proud.

My theory is that, under the ruse of incompetence, Obama/Biden are intentionally equipping (leaving military equipment behind), intentionally funding (leaving pallets of money behind), intentionally providing manpower (releasing all those prisoners of war) and intentionally providing intel capabilities ( leaving intelligence systems behind) to the Taliban to “build back better” the Muslim Brotherhood.
Leaving Afghanistan the way the Biden Administration did gives them all those advantages, plus air fields, military bases and a country in which to grow and strengthen.
And it all looks like stupidity and incompetence. Much sneakier and smarter than getting caught flying billions of dollars of pallets to Iran.
The American citizens left behind provide two benefits. They allow Biden to further fund the Taliban through hostage situations and it allows Biden to be the hero rescuing those abandoned Americans.
The last benefit, the real cherry on top, the Biden Administration imports thousands of Muslim immigrants to America for humanitarian reasons. We owe them, right? How can you argue with that?
if one made an alliance with the MB one would honor it. During Obama’s time in office it appears he made an alliance with them and brought them within the governement agencies.
the question to some is – Is the MB good or bad or indifferent…. ?
either way your answer turns out – Obama made an alliance with that type of person.
It is abundantly clear why they are talking about females and the draft.
Who would want to willingly join this military?
I am an old bitch, but have worried for DECADES that this over the top women’s lib stuff would result in a female draft.
And now with the purging of non-Marxists from the ranks and looking at the soyboys of Antifa types, they will need women cuz there is nothing more scary than a leftwing woman. The new army is being built to be turned inward
getting closer, to seeing the true people behind it all. Keep throwing people under.
Report reveals US decision to keep open Kabul airport gate before attack

The incompetence continues to spew like a firehose…
Not. Incompetence.
You forgot a snarky speech by Lindsay Graham.

Our Afghan Nightmare: Tanks for Nothing
Afghanistan has been reinvented as the best-equipped terrorist nation in the world, basking in the prestige of humiliating the world’s superpower.
https://amgreatness.com/2021/08/29/our-afghan-nightmare-tanks-for-nothing/
Arab Spring + ISIS1.0 could not sack Syria. Syria remains as is w/ Russia dominating Europe via Energy Supply for those cold winters (the # 1 reason for all war and issue is this place and their energy dependence)
Will ISIS – 2.0 get Syria sacked this time?
where is Jordan on the map? (democrats visited here – Pelosi and Team)
Where is Qatar?
Wonder if the Pineapple Express will return with a new mission .
Prediction:
The Biden Regime will see that KSM is released on 9/11/2021 as part of this total surrender.
The State Dept. and Intelligence community are the head of the snake. I f*&king hate snakes.
Each and every one of these people who have been speaking on behalf of the WH resident and including him, must ALL be fired or resign immediately. This is no enhancement for our country. They are burying us as fast as they can!
Our friend ps and allies know we are being led by a fool and we are hesitant to even rally outside the White House. We know what happens. We’d never see the light of day.
Gather up survival supplies.
Open to additional advice, I’m no expert.
When will the Noble team get together and award the Taliban and many in our government the peace prize ?
How long before the Taliban grace the cover of Time Or Newsweek?
If an American provides firearms or material support to a terrorist you rear will be in maximum security for a very long time.
One of these journalists needs to ask how over 100 billion in weapons vehicles and aircraft along with passing information is not providing material support to terrorist
“ The deepest part of the Deep State is attempting to protect itself. “
The deepest part of the Deep State. Why that is the CIA. The deepest part of the Deep State is attempting to protect itself.
How does this revelation leave any room for doubt regarding the 82nd AB general that threw out several hundred missionaries and children shortly before the attack? Weren’t they thrown out at the Abbey gate?
I don’t even want to watch any of these video clips anymore. I can’t take all the lying. Everything is faked, staged and lies. Life is much better without watching them.
I’ll see you a Gowty/Issa investigation and Grassly letter, and raise you 2 minutes of Lindsey Graham indignation.
What this Administration is saying about the murdered Military & civilians in the airport bombing, is that they were expendable.
All involved with ChinaJoe have blood on their hands.
We will never let your callousness be forgotten.
Oh yeah…the DEEP state is the group that has the intel aka dirt, on everyone. State is just there for the ride.
I always thought Hillary was running a parallel govt from State with her own people during Obama’s first term.. I was more right than I knew back then.
The question is WHO NOW is the next generation of Deepers puppets? The Clintons are basically history at this point and I don’t necessarily believe it’s Barack Hussein. He was a useful idiot and well compensated for it.
Story of his life.
The Buttboy from my home state? Heels Up, Cuomo and Newsom have crashed and burned. I expect some unknown to be brought forward in 2024…kinda like they elevated Obama
Just because you do not see Americans in the streets does not mean we are not engaged and not pist. We are plenty pist. The military rank amd file are starting to stand up. We are seeing many vets running for office, etc. we will turn this around and fix the damage these criminals have done. This is our fault. Period. Our country got lazy and took our eye off the ball. We have learned our lesson. Now it’s time to start acting collectively starting at home. It’s time.
Benghazi all over again!
