As the chaotic operation to rescue Americans and allies from Afghanistan ends, the Biden administration pushes Secretary of State Anthony Blinken toward the microphones to make a statement.   The anticipated statement is scheduled to begin between 6:30pm and 7:00pm ET.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken remarks on the situation in Afghanistan from the Department of State’s Treaty Room. U.S. forces have completed their evacuation from Afghanistan, ending America’s longest war.  Update: Video Added

Attempting to reassure the nation of the federal government’s competence in the aftermath of a devastating Hurricane Ida, Joe Biden introduces the woke FEMA officials who will be coordinating the recovery effort.   The outcome was, unfortunately, exactly what you would expect.

Within the confidence building effort, Biden introduces “his boy” Senior Advisor and Director of Public Engagement, Cedric Richmond.  Things go downhill from there:

There have been various and increasing ¹reports all day that a Biden-authorized U.S. drone strike targeting ISIS-K, in retaliation for their Kabul terrorist attack, not only killed Islamic terrorists, but also killed allies, innocent civilians and children.

[NOTE: I hate to keep harping on this, but it is important context. Remember CNN represents the official position of the State Dept. If CNN reports it, that is Team #1 (Dos/CIA), positioning a narrative to put Team #2 (White House and Pentagon) in a compromising position.]

New York Post – Multiple Afghan civilians, including relatives and children, were reportedly killed in Sunday’s US airstrike near the Kabul airport.

US officials said the drone strike wiped out a vehicle carrying multiple suicide bombers that posed an “imminent ISIS-K threat” to the city’s airport.

The exact amount of casualties was not immediately clear, but a relative of those killed told CNN that nine of his family members died in the drone strike. Six children, ranging in age from 2 to 10, and three adults were among the dead, the relative told the news outlet. (read more)

[Original CNN report HERE] – As the media start to pick up the story, dig and verify the reports of innocents as collateral damage, unbelievably U.S. Central Command (Centcom) releases a public statement seemingly admitting to the issue.

Secretary of State Tony Blinken appears on several friendly news shows this morning, as he attempts to walk through the aftermath of a massive U.S. crisis created by a botched withdrawal effort from Afghanistan.  The bodies of dead U.S. service members are looming in the background, and the Biden administration is desperate to exit from this problem.  [NBC HERE and ABC HERE]

Notable in the spoken language, as well as the visible physical and mental discomfort, is Blinken’s tenuous position as head of a Deep State operation he does not control.  The career officials within the Dept of State, the CIA and the broader intelligence community, view Blinken as a temporary apparatchik of the Biden administration, and their current position is aligned against him.  That reality is visible in Blinken’s extremely nervous expressions.

The unelected operators, bureaucrats within the Department of State (DoS), make U.S. foreign policy from within the executive branch. There is a pretense promoted by media that the executive branch, specifically the President of the United States, is controlling the internal mechanism of the U.S. State Department, but that’s a ruse. If it were true, the State Department would act like they had accountability to someone or something; they do not.

Team Obama, those in power over the Democrat political mechanisms, are using the Biden crew as useful and disposable idiots. Because Biden was installed, not elected, the Chicago crew are actually in a great position as all the political consequences can fall upon Biden administration personnel, and the people truly in control are isolated and invisible from any repercussions.  It is a very interesting dynamic.

Making the issue even more interesting is the institution under Blinken -which he doesn’t control- is aligned with CNN, CNNi and WaPo.  As a consequence, the Biden administration cannot rely on CNN or the Washington Post and has to stick to the traditional alphabets (ABC, CBS, NBC). (more…)

Comrades, good news down-under.  The New South Wales Ministry of COVID Compliance has announced effective Friday captured citizens will be permitted to get married again; however, only five persons of ideological alignment will be permitted to witness any formal union or celebration.

During the announcement (video below, first six minutes), NSW COVID Compliance Health Minister Brad Hazzard, also announced various government officials have reviewed the potential social impacts from an absence of procreation; and determined that without further breeding the ministerial ruling-class could lose the workforce they need for ongoing services.  It is therefore in the best interests of the state for the regional ministry to approve a restart for the institution of marriage.

The restart of state approval for the institution of marriage is welcome news, and was made while contrasting sad news of two citizens who recently died from the Coronavirus.  Both formerly free-range citizens were females, one in her 70’s and one in her 80’s, and they are latest victims of COVID-19; which is a warning for the entire population of several million about the severity of risk.

In case you missed it…. a few days ago the Premier of the New South Wales directorate announced citizens would be permitted one hour of exercise outside the home, as long as the regulated activity takes place within open hours during the ongoing lockdown.   A curfew remains in effect from 9pm to 5am daily.  The new hour of outside exercise is permitted between 5am to 9pm, and –just like prison yard time– the time will be carefully monitored by state compliance officers.

Non-compliant citizens who may be tempted to exceed the permitted hour of exercise time should remember the state can monitor free-range activity via geolocation from cell phones (portable transponder).  Most Australian citizens located outdoors are required to keep their electronic medical identification available for review by authorities at checkpoints as well as their essential worker permits.  To ensure the public health, citizens must also scan QR codes at designated monitoring locations.

The Atlantic Article interviewing the perpetually inept far-left advocate for all things big government, Gavin Newsom, doesn’t specifically say the California governor is worried about his recall being a wider referendum on Joe Biden, but the gorilla in the room is visible through the fear the interview conveys.

The left-wing Democrat socialists writ large have pushed their agenda so hard against the common threads that bind American society, that now the Newsom recall effort looks like an opportunity for common-sense to push back.  I smile because there are trembles amid the dark forces of the globalists, the multinationals and the institutional corporations who need Newsom and his Democrat tribe.

This recall effort was never supposed to be close.  With foam filled spittle they shout angrily, “THIS IS CALIFORNIA, for God’s sake“; without even a hint of self awareness surrounding their invocation of the one pure element that destroys all the evil they support.  Indeed, “for God’s sake” is exactly the reason Newsom is being held to account.

Within the interview,  Newsom lashes out at the world against him. “I’m now feeling the weight of this decision, and a weight of responsibility to defeat this, and also the responsibility that if we fall short, I’m going to own that,” he said. He mentioned to me some of his recent initiatives, including the injection of billions of dollars of federal relief money into the state budget and signing a bill to expand health care to undocumented workers. “If I do fall short, I’ll regret every damn one of those decisions. And I don’t want to have any regrets for putting everything out there and doing … what I think is right and what I think is in the best interest of California.”

Using the guise of COVID as a justification for advancing their ultimate ideological desires, Newsom’s tribe have destroyed education, shut down independent businesses; weaponized the police force by using SWAT team storm troopers to enforce their unilateral dictates; pushed the forced masks upon the electorate, and demanded that California residents undergo untested forced vaccinations in order to live in their utopian society.   Gee, a reckoning might be coming…. and they are shocked, shocked.

Lt. Col Scheller made a public Facebook post criticizing the insufferable decisions in Afghanistan that led to the deaths of 13 U.S. Marines.   The primary issue was the closure of Bagram air base, which many have looked upon at the most brutally obvious strategic blunders in the Afghan exit.  Within his remarks Scheller said:

“I’m not saying we’ve got to be in Afghanistan forever. But I am saying, did any of you throw your rank on the table and say, ‘Hey, it’s a bad idea to evacuate Bagram Airfield, a strategic airbase, before we evacuate everyone’? Did anyone do that? And when you didn’t think to do that, did anyone raise their hand and say, ‘We completely messed this up’?”  WATCH BELOW:

Shortly after Lt. Col. Scheller posted this video he was removed from command.  Despite the overwhelming agreement we share with his outlook, it is also true that compromising or questioning command leadership is a valid reason for removal.  That’s why CTH was angered at the Pentagon failure to remove Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman after he questioned the Commander in Chief, President Trump.  A brutal double standard.

In a follow-up Facebook post, Scheller noted he was relieved of command at 14:30 today.

As our nation mourns the loss of 13 U.S. military and dozens wounded in the Kabul airport attack, the White House sends Circle Backs to the podium to obfuscate their responsibility.  The effort is scheduled to begin at 1:45pm ET

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.
