According to the data provided by the U.S. State Department in the last few days, the total number of people evacuated from the Kabul airport was 122,000.  Of those, 6,000 were American citizens (AmCits), and 116,000 were Afghan refugees.

Today the State Department admits the “majority” of the qualified Afghan people who assisted the U.S. during operations in Afghanistan, Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) applicants, did not get evacuated.  That admission begs the question: then who the heck are those 116,000 refugees?

It’s not just some NBC reporter relaying information, there are multiple reports of exactly the same dynamic.   According to the Wall Street Journal, “The U.S. left behind the majority of Afghan interpreters and others who applied for visas to flee Afghanistan, a senior State Department official said on Wednesday, despite frantic efforts to evacuate those at risk of Taliban retribution in the final weeks of the airlift.”

[…] The U.S. still doesn’t have reliable data on who was evacuated, nor for what type of visas they may qualify, the official said, but initial assessments suggested most visa applicants didn’t make it through the crush at the airport. “I would say it’s the majority of them,” the official said. “Just based on anecdotal information about the populations we were able to support.”

Team-One (State Dept, CIA, Intel Community) continue to pummel Team-Two (Biden, WH, Pentagon, NSC) with leaks to media.

After Joe Biden delivered his speech to the nation claiming no-one saw the collapse of the Afghan government coming, the intel group leak the transcript and recording of a July 23rd phone call between Biden and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani showing everything Biden said today was a lie.

(Reuters) – […] Reuters reviewed a transcript of the presidential phone call and has listened to the audio to authenticate the conversation. The materials were provided on condition of anonymity by a source who was not authorized to distribute it.

[…] In much of the call, Biden focused on what he called the Afghan government’s “perception” problem. “I need not tell you the perception around the world and in parts of Afghanistan, I believe, is that things are not going well in terms of the fight against the Taliban,” Biden said. “And there is a need, whether it is true or not, there is a need to project a different picture.”

There have been some recent reports about hospitals, doctors and health officials now refusing to treat U.S. patients with vitamin D, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine and another effective therapeutics.  A recent notation about HHS changing liability waivers under the PREP Act, might provide some insight.

“Enacted in December 2005, the PREP Act authorizes the Secretary of HHS (Secretary) to issue a declaration (called a PREP Act declaration) that provides immunity from tort liability (except for willful misconduct) for claims of loss caused, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from administration or use of countermeasures to diseases, threats and conditions determined by the Secretary to constitute a present, or credible risk of a future public health emergency to entities and individuals involved in the development, manufacture, testing, distribution, administration, and use of such countermeasures.” (link)

A PREP Act declaration is specifically for the purpose of providing immunity from tort liability, and is different from, and not dependent on, other emergency declarations.

A COVID watchdog group recently noted: “It appears that the Prep Act had been amended such that private hospitals and entities were covered in their actions taken with Covid-19  patients and relieved of all liability as long as they were prescribing ‘Covered Countermeasures’. ie. NIH approved medications. This may be why hospitals are refusing to use effective COVID treatments like vitamin D, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, etc” (link)

During the White House press briefing today, the White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki once again made the claim that no one could foresee the rapid collapse of the Afghan government.  That claim is the White House narrative, and despite the evidence to the contrary they are sticking to it… because a stunningly incurious media is allowing them to.

When questioned about the incompetence of the Biden administration not seeing the Afghan government collapse, Jen Psaki said today: “I don’t think anyone assessed that they would collapse as quickly as they did. Anyone — anyone in this room, anyone anywhere in the world,” Psaki responded, “If you have anyone who did I would be surprised.”

This continued White House claim is disputed by evidence provided by both the intelligence community and internal cables from the U.S.  State Department. Let’s review; first ABC:

ABC NEWS – […]  U.S. officials tell ABC News that the opposite was true, insisting that key intelligence assessments had consistently informed policymakers that the Taliban could overwhelm the country and take the capital within weeks. […] “[U.S.] leaders were told by the military it would take no time at all for the Taliban to take everything,” an anonymous U.S. intelligence official told ABC News. “No one listened.” (read more)

Then there was the internal State Department cables from the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, dated July 13th:

The installed occupant of the White House is scheduled to deliver remarks today attempting to take a victory lap for his efforts in the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.  It is highly doubtful he will take questions, because he cannot defend his decision-making which led to the death of 13 U.S. marines and service members.

The effort to distract, obfuscate, cast blame toward others and deny accountability is scheduled to begin at 2:45pm ET with livestream links below:

Despite the media trying to cover for it, obfuscate it and deny it, there is tremendous anger in this nation toward Joe Biden and his conduct in office.  When contrast against the lost American service members in Afghanistan, the aforementioned “cold anger” is quickly becoming a rage.  I have not seen this level of focused anger before.

Earlier today, the family of Lance Corporal Rylee McCollum appeared on Fox News to discuss their meeting with Biden and why some of them chose to decline meeting with the installed occupant of the White House.   Their grief is heartbreaking, understandable, but also very reflective of a current sense in our nation right now.

This example of Big Tech censorship shows just how weak and pathetic the Biden administration and their Big Tech sycophants really are.  As the mother of fallen marine hero Kareem Kikoui, killed in the terrorist attack at Kabul airport, shares her opinion of Joe Biden and the administration, the social media platforms suspend her accounts.

Mrs. Shana Chappell is furious at the Biden administration, and now that we know the military was aware of the pending attack before it took place – the horrific event is even worse.  Mrs. Chappell’s voice cries out in anger and grief.   The incompetence and failed leadership in the Afghan withdrawal led to the death of her son, Kareem Nikoui.  Her Facebook and Instagram accounts have now been suspended.  Screengrab Below:

Based on what we know about the objectives and intents of those who are attempting to control opposition (DOJ, FBI and Big Tech), it looks like the next segment is what they fear… and the reason her voice was silenced.  The White House fears Shana Chappell will start a grassroots movement and spotlight the illegitimacy of the Biden regime.

The DC operatives have been working on every angle possible to paint their political opposition as terrorists.  They cannot allow Mrs. Chappell to organize massive numbers of people heading to Washington DC.   She must be shut down… so they did.
