Earlier today, General Kenneth Franklin McKenzie Jr. admitted a claimed U.S. drone strike against the ever evolving and mysterious ISIS-K, actually killed 7 children and three innocent adult civilians. General McKenzie calls it a “tragic mistake.” Four days after the August 29th strike Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called the strike “righteous.”
General McKenzi says he takes “full responsibility”, yet he retains his position. No one is being held to account. No one at the Pentagon is facing discipline. Both McKenzie and Milley claim it was solid intelligence that led them to watch, follow, and eventually target and kill Zemari Ahmadi, an Afghan relief worker who arrived home. The missile struck his vehicle as his children ran out to welcome daddy home from work, killing all occupants in the car and those in the vicinity.
As noted by Politico, “The command now assesses that “it is unlikely” the man and vehicle targeted was affiliated with ISIS-K, the Afghanistan branch of ISIS, or “a direct threat to U.S. forces,” Gen. Frank McKenzie, head of U.S. Central Command told reporters Friday.”
.
Many people suspect part of the “intelligence” they used was a tip from their Taliban “partners” at the time. Ten people killed, including three children.
The other aspect to this situation that raises MASSIVE alarm bells is McZenzie emphasizing this strike was the result of overwhelming “signals intelligence” or SIGINT. Remember, the Intelligence Apparatus, writ large, is part of Team-1, and aligned with the State Department. The White House and Pentagon are part of Team-2. At the time this took place, there was a severe battle to avoid accountability between both teams.
Two Questions:
First – Was the signals intelligence provided by Team-1, purposefully wrong in order to set up the Pentagon (Team-2) with a major crisis, and as a result, put more of the Afghanistan blame on the DoD and White House?
Second – Did the evidence of that erroneous targeting then arrive at the New York Times after an assist by the background operators of Team-1 to get it to them?
Think about it.
♦ 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, Senate Intel 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.
[Presidential elections only affect Team Two (nationalism -v- globalism). In the modern era, Team One is independent.]
Both teams were responsible for the Afghanistan mess. However, in the aftermath of the mess; and with the situation in/around Kabul gaining massive attention, each team is positioning to avoid scrutiny. Scrutiny on either team runs the risk of identifying massive institutional 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.
Did the DoS/CIA set up the White House and DoD using their knowledge of relief worker Zemari Ahmadi and his family as useful collateral damage?
Good thing the FBI wasn’t in on it . The kids would have been FBI agents.
Milley’s advanced warning means critical American deaths. Who is he willing to sacrifice with his advanced warning to China?
Why is it acceptable for Milley to invite critical American deaths/harm to Americans?
Everyone knows the military runs simulations on all sorts of wargames. Milley knows that with advanced warning, China will take out some strategic assets before the sh*t hits the fan. Milley should explain to the world why he thinks it is important to allow certain critical assets be sacrificed? What are the chances he will place himself in physical harm be being in those strategic assets that will be targeted by the Chinese? What are the chances any family members or loved ones will be sacrificed to Chinese actions?
It’s OK because Milley despises Pres Trump.
Lets call it what it IS a “CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY” which is about the ONLY thing our GOVERNMENT is GOOD FOR ANYMORE.
So the ‘buck’ will stop at some lower level person. They’ll be punished or fired. Meanwhile, the General will keep on keeping on. Zero accountability. Zero.
Except in this case it’s a tragic ‘mistake’ which is a war crime that warrants the prosecution of parties involved in it at the very least. So they used ‘intelligence’ given to them by the Taliban who received a list of Americans and Afghans friendly to the American presence there. It would appear the Taliban used the Pentagon to target this Afghan working under a U.S. Aid program. How many more were murdered this way that we haven’t heard about? Dozens? Hundreds? . . . or maybe thousands?
Originally labeling a former ally as a terrorist bomber to justify their elimination. Gee, sounds vaguely familiar in that’s exactly what they did immediately after January 6, 2021 with the American people. But then when you’re murdering from tens to hundreds of thousands of people with a still ongoing fake pandemic there’s absolutely nothing off the table now, is there? All just merely a ‘tragic mistake’, isn’t it?
Lara Logan outlined a possibly imminent upcoming false flag operation that could prelude the next war. Relevance: They have already begun to link nuclear Pakistan and China to the Taliban. Ergo a possible nuclear detonation somewhere on American soil:
LL @ 5:05 minutes: “And you know what they’re doing Kennedy? K: Screwing everything up? LL: “They’re shaping for an attack that they blame on Afghan refugees and the people who are trying to help them get out. You can see all the hallmarks of it. When you understand information warfare and information operations I can tell you right now that is one of the options that they’re prepping the battlefield for and I don’t mean the battlefield in Kabul, I mean the battlefield right here. K: God, I hope that doesn’t come to fruition. Lara Logan thank you so much.”
“Lara Logan: Biden admin ‘prepping the battlefield’ for an attack on America soil – Sep 17, 2021 By Fox Business – ‘Lara Logan Has No Agenda’ host blasts Biden’s border plan on ‘Kennedy'” – 5 minute, 33 second video clip here:
“A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic.”
I absolutely agree with Logan and thought of this immediately upon the installation of the white house occupant.
It’s all about scaring people, taking away our constitutional rights, and taking on more control.
This will not end well at all for the regime.
When I was going through AIT in the army, we would get punished for accidental friendly fire on the simulators, yet these scum bags get off scot free after killing real people. When I was going through boot camp, the Drill Sargents would constantly try to steal our M-16’s out in the field. If they succeeded, we got punished. Every private knows to take care of their equipment and to be sure of what they’re shooting at.
Do not let your kids join this current military. The brass and the civilian leadership will get them chewed up for no reason and nobody will ever have to answer for it. There is a very clear double standard and your kid will pay the price every single time, while they get richer and more powerful.
So, the indescriminate murder of an entire family with children is just collateral damage and not worthy of investigation?
Is it any wonder that most of the world hates the U.S.?
Despicable.
Buraq did that sort of thing for eight years.
My thoughts, exactly.
Why did they do such a fast investigation and release the results while Afghanistan is still in the news cycle? They could have spent a year on the investigation or at least a few months if they wanted to.
Because the NYT beat them to the punch with a story and photos by two weeks. They were shocked the NYT criticized the Biden Admin.
Eyes on “resignations” in the coming weeks. After this “drone strike” affair blows over, you’ll be able to discern the winners and losers between team 1 and team 2.
There are those, with knowledge of weaponry, who maintain the drone strike was a righteous op. They cite forensic evidence that the damage, as cited by the NYT photos, was shrapnel related.
The US does not use shrapnel laden payloads. Terrorists do. Thus indicating the secondary explosion of an IED. The initial explosion was confined to a relatively small area with little damage to the buildings in close proximity. That’s the footprint of a modern US weapon. The shrapnel from the secondary detonation is what caused the mayhem.
Yup, my initial reaction to the drone strike was that secondary explosions typically means you hit the right target. I still haven’t seen any explanation for the secondaries.
Having said that, the images of the man filling red plastic cans with liquid which he allows to spray all over while transitioning from one can to another suggests he is using gas cans to carry water rather than gas. I cannot imagine someone loading gas into cans spraying that much gas around and then starting the car.
Every word of this post screams decay, rot, corruption, immorality, villainy. It is a fiery condemnation of who we are and what kind of a country we have.
These people running the show behind Biden are not elected and unfit for governmental service. They are as Obama is. They are of Muslim vent and only care about promotion of their own ideologies. They are the reverse of everything the USA stands for and the more they can taint and soil the USA reputation (no matter the cost in lives) the better to quicken the USA’s demise as a country. That “mistake” just made another 100,000 enemies of the USA, and her people at large had nothing to do with it because WE DIDN’T ELECT THAT OCCUPANT IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
Color me even more skeptical: wasn’t the ‘aid worker’ hit also involved with some ‘inside’ work for ThSD?
Bless them all, who went down 🙁 Thats a tough way to go. And they never mention the OTHER probably 50 people or more who were hit with shrapnel, heat and concussive waves.
Soleimani, Salami- amazing. Shut Iran up without a SINGLE boot on the ground and saved countless American Marines/Soldiers/Sailors and Airmen (and now Guardians, too).
THAT’S how you do it. Dropping one at a crowded corner in a BUSY, CRAZZZZY corrupt city is- bad news. But, just my 2 cents
That’s what happens when you give your military base (Bagram) to your ENEMY before evacuating.
Common sense says you get out, and then bomb the Air Force base until it’s destroyed.
IMO Leaving all that money, weaponry, and people was definitely intentional. Xi Jinping probably demanded it.
When they say SIGINT they are referring to monitoring of a cell or satellite phones “I’m here, any messages for me” signal broadcast fairly regularly by cell or satellite phones.
The key question is not whether the phone was tracked accurately by SIGINT, it clearly was, but how did the phone number come to be associated with ISIS? Did the user of the phone have contacts with ISIS member’s cell phones for work purposes? Did the US receive the user’s phone number via HUMINT? IOW, a tip that the number was an ISIS number.
What is the world coming to when you can’t trust the Taliban to provide reliable intelligence.
I bet they didn’t even use that list of our friends and allies remaining in Afghanistan to make sure they don’t get murdered accidentally by Taliban death squads.
Yes, the good old ‘religion of peace’.
Killing millions for over 1,000 years, now- with NO repent, just pride.
I know Cassius Clay, Cat Stevens- I have no idea whatever happened to them, though. It’s like they just up and disappeared.
Handmade for a crusade in the shade- I worry the third one will be a third war of another type, too :/
It seems that every time we have a major screwup we hear about “faulty” intelligence. FBI, CIA, NSA, DOD, etc.
These clowns are about as accurate as the nightly weather forecast.
Somehow they NEVER have to answer for their incompetence.
Of course when we see people like Reality Winner, and Alex Vindman, guarding and protecting us, it all becomes clear.
Vindman’s got a twin brother still in the industry here, too. It’s literally script-worthy creepy.
It’s just practice until they start targeting “domestic terrorists” here in the homeland.
General Milley is too concerned with his white rage propaganda.
The military should be about the military, not some social justice Marxism.
Clown Gen. Milley within 24 hours of the drone hit:
“…….this was a righteous”kill
He is a doofus. He should be stripped of his medals and court martialed.

Get him court martialed as soon as possible.
Colluding with our biggest enemy is treason.

Our so-called “Government” has declared itself omnipotent. That’s why there is no accountability. That’s why it “mandates” medical experimentation on its citizens. If it can mandate an experimental medical procedure, what can’t it mandate?
It would be soooo unlike the Taliban to set up the US, no matter who is in charge. I’d bet there were terrorists in that vehicle and the family was switched at the last moment or an identical vehicle was switched.
Will bet a few internet dollars that this was no mistake.
Ground info was not wrong…it was just done on purpose….
The Afghan government will now sue the American military for billions….it is simply just another way for those animals to fund their filthy war on humanity.
I.O.W….they simply outfoxed us…again.
I would like to see an attorney or law practice somewhere in the world represent the families of the innocent dead Afghans killed by the drone, and go after Milley and whomever else for War Crimes, or what ever else. They need to scream and shout. Of course the whore media in the USA will not cover it, but media elsewhere will.
Put the Xiden arse kissers on defence.
McKenzie looks like a red-faced drunk. Lifting his eyebrows and wrinkling his forehead to feign sincerity is futile for a murderer.
all these “deep state” talking heads, generals and Biden Admin people say they “take full responsibility” for this or that, which is BS b/c they never pay any price for their “full responsibility”. Taking full responsibility is just a talking point. Has no meaning.
NYT is media outlet for Team 2. This is confusing.
…I thought that this wh admin etal was anti- 2nd amendment,
and was for confiscating of armaments?
Did someone confiscate a drone?
Did someone investigate the trigger person?
Did someone investigate the boss of the trigger person?
uhh….
But, now,
for some reason, it’s not the armaments fault?
It’s the fault of the messenger? ….so shoot the messenger. …so blame the messenger, and shoot the accused water bottle transporter (not with mace, something else… uhhh… )?
So, now,
it’s not the fault of the armament (i.e. the 2nd Amendment is saved !!!),
nor fault of the person operating the armament. (yay!! it’s less work for the time consuming lawyer$$)
So, now,
It’s the fault of the unnamed messenger that sent the (wrong) message that someone was a bad person (but was actually a good person, with kids).
To me,
someones lack virtue and consistent principles based on selfless virtue…
and has a relatively empty mind more based upon miss perception, miss narratives, fictions – so as to selfishly feel good. (not virtue’s)
hmmmm….
We can do better, and have done so. Proven.
Love thy neighbors… is a start…
be not afraid…is a beginning…
Shame on them! No. morals, kust like the CCP!
In what other occupation can you kill a car full of innocent people, mostly children, and just say oops, I made a mistake.
Tell it to the dead innocents.
