Mississippians who get infected with COVID-19 must self-isolate at home as soon as they become aware of their illness, or face fines and/or imprisonment, the state’s health officer ordered on Friday.

In his isolation order, Mississippi State Health Officer Thomas Dobbs said that people are expected to remain home for 10 days after becoming ill or testing positive for COVID-19, regardless of whether they are fully vaccinated or whether they experience any symptoms.

The order reads:

All persons, including fully vaccinated individuals, infected with COVID-19 must remain in the home or other appropriate residential location for 10 days from onset of illness (or 10 days from the date of a positive test for those who are asymptomatic).

The order added that quarantined people would not have to show a negative COVID-19 test to end isolation at the end of 10 days, but do need to be fever-free for at least 24 hours “with an improvement of other symptoms.” The rule is also to be applied to all K-12 school students and staff who would be prohibited from entering school premises.

The order states that refusal to comply would be viewed as a misdemeanor “at minimum,” punishable by a fine of $500 or imprisonment for six months, or both. However, the order provides that “if a life-threatening disease is involved,” failure or refusal to obey the rule would be considered a felony, punishable by a fine of up to $5,000 or imprisonment for up to five years, or both.

While isolating, people must limit household contacts, and ideally stay away from others in a separate room, having no guests and wearing a facemask when outside of the room.

The order includes a link to the CDC guidance on preventing transmission at home. Among other provisions, the CDC recommends wearing masks to everyone who is older than two, not just around other cohabitants, but also around pets, not sharing personal items such as dishes, and wearing disposable gloves.

State Epidemiologist Dr. Paul Byers warned Mississippi has the highest number of new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents in the nation and stood at 843 cases per 100,000 in the last seven days.

Neither of Mississippi’s top health officials mentioned any scientific evidence supporting the measures provided in the order, such as the number of cases of asymptomatic transmission, which may be as low as zero, according to one of the largest studies conducted on the issue. Given that up to 45 percent of people who contracted COVID-19 experience no symptoms at all, a large portion of them would be cut off from their regular routine for no reason.

Then, the order raises questions on facemasks’ effectiveness. For example, it is unclear why infected people can’t leave home and participate in everyday life if they wear masks, which have been touted as one of the most effective measures of preventing the COVID-19 transition. The CDC recommends everyone to wear a mask in most indoor settings “even if you do not feel sick,” citing “several studies” that have found that people with COVID-19 who never develop symptoms and those who are not yet showing symptoms (pre-symptomatic) can still spread the virus to others. “Wearing a mask helps protect those around you, in case you are infected but not showing symptoms,” it is noted. Logically, the rule would apply to the known positive cases, but it does not.

The order does not mention the high degree of inaccuracy of COVID-19 tests, and the high number of “false positives,” brilliantly explained by New York Times science reporter Apoorva Mandavilli. Per her report, up to 90 percent of people testing positive carry barely any virus to transmit it to others, and, therefore, had no need to be isolated. In fact, the COVID-19 tests are so unreliable, the Food and Drug Administration quietly recalled thousands of them in late July, applying a so-called Class I recall, meaning the use of “these devices may cause serious injuries or death.”

The isolation order comes with the rollout of COVID-19 mandates in the state. Just recently, Mississippi’s only academic medical center, the University of Mississippi Medical Center, has amended its vaccination policy to make COVID-19 inoculation a condition of employment. “COVID-19 in Mississippi is a raging wildfire but not everyone is helping throw water on the flames in their own backyard,” the announcement says while adding it is crucial “to unite to combat a common enemy — the most vicious pandemic any of us have ever experienced.”

On August 12, Governor Tate Reeves expanded Mississippi’s state of emergency for 30 more days in order to ease the process of procuring additional resources, to allow the healthcare system to continue to transfer patients to hospitals where treatment is available, to ensure expanded access to telemedicine, and to keep options open for use of the Mississippi National Guard, per local media.

Former AIR FORCE General, CIA Chief Hayden Endorses Deporting Trump Supporters to Afghanistan

Retired Air Force general and former CIA and NSA chief Michael Hayden endorsed sending “MAGA wearing unvaxxed to Afghanistan” on board empty cargo planes.

A four-star, Hayden served as NSA director under Bill Clinton and headed up the CIA under George W. Bush and briefly under Barack Obama.

After retiring from government, Hayden joined various boards, consultancies, etc. — an archetypal example of the Deep State practice of sweet gigs and honorary degrees for the well-connected and loyal.

Today Hayden spends his free time endorsing Twitter randos’ s***posts calling for the deportation of millions of Americans into a warzone.

Is it any wonder so many Americans now hold our federal law enforcement agencies, intelligence agencies, and even the military in such contempt?

The feeling is mutual — and they started it.

The replies to Hayden’s retweet are brutal, but maybe none so much as this one:

Whether Hayden genuinely agrees with the idea of sending otherwise empty cargo jets back to Afghanistan chock-full of Trump supporters, or if he just doesn’t have sense enough to understand that a man in his position really shouldn’t joke about that kind of thing…

…well, who knows?

What I can say for certain is that Hayden is exactly the kind of America-hating chair-warmer who shouldn’t be trusted with anything sharper than a rubber band.

Digital Dunkirk: Veterans Network Helps Afghan Interpreters Get to Kabul Airport

A network of “hundreds of thousands” of people, including analysts, are using satellite imagery and other tools to help Afghan interpreters who worked for U.S. forces to evade Taliban checkpoints in Kabul and bring them to the safety of the airport.

The network’s efforts are necessary because the Biden administration is offering little assistance to the 20,000 interpreters and their families who are at great risk every second they remain in Afghanistan.

Afghanistan war veteran and CIA analyst Matt Zeller is part of the group.

Fox News:

Zeller described a “digital Dunkirk” campaign working to evacuate the Afghan interpreters. He said “hundreds of thousands” of people joined the movement after just a few weeks, but that it could grow into the millions by the time it’s over.

“If you served in the Afghan war and you still care about these people, chances are you’re probably part of the digital Dunkirk,” Zeller told Fox News.

He said it started as an “army of veterans” getting pinged by Afghans, but that the network has grown to include organizations for human rights, faith and political advocacy.

Zeller told Fox News, “It’s not just veterans. Literally, it’s pastors, it’s my mom, it’s my relatives, people who have never served in Afghanistan … widows, widowers, children of people who served.”

The Kabul airport is a hellish place for Americans. It’s even worse for Afghans looking to get out of the country. One woman, a U.S. citizen, was forced to leave her family behind because they weren’t citizens yet and Zeller says, “That is being played out over and over and over again.”

“I’ve got friends who have told me that they’ve had literally U.S. citizens standing in the crowd waving their blue passports screaming ‘I’m a U.S. citizen,’ and the Marines can’t come get them,” Zeller said.

Zeller said the U.S. has a responsibility to evacuate the Afghan interpreters.

If they aren’t evacuated now, then “they’re gonna be dead, and we’ll regret for the rest of our lives having failed them,” Zeller told Fox News.

Zeller says he would love it if someone called him and asked him to help with the evacuation in Afghanistan. “I don’t know of a single veteran that I’ve spoken with who feels any differently.”

He said he can’t imagine what it must be like for the U.S. troops at the Kabul airport “who have to stand 50 meters away from the Taliban and watch them be thugs and not be able to do a damn thing about it.”

Gunfire could be heard throughout voice memos a female journalist attempting to leave Afghanistan sent Fox News. Based on her location, the U.S. troops at the Kabul airport could likely hear the shots.

Zeller believes that there is a solution to the problem of the interpreters and the Americans struggling to get to the airport and it rests with one man.

Zeller said the campaign to evacuate the interpreters “is a whole of America effort … minus the one guy, the only guy, who can give the order to actually truly save these people,” referring to President Biden.

“I was appalled that the secretary of defense said he didn’t have the ability to guarantee the safe movement of Americans to the airport in Kabul,” Zeller told Fox News. “He absolutely does.”

“He has the United States military,” he continued. “What he doesn’t have is the orders to move those people.”

Biden doesn’t have the guts to give those orders. But his dream of being remembered as the president who ended the “forever war” has been dashed. He will now be remembered as the president who allowed the most shameful military episode in American history to unfold on his watch.

Almost 15 Million 2020 Mail-In Ballots Unaccounted For

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

Almost 15 million mail-in votes have “gone unaccounted for,” according to a new report by the Indiana-based election integrity group”Public Interest Legal Foundation” (PILF).

“In the face of a pandemic, states from across the nation hastily pushed traditionally in person voters to mail ballots while, at the same time, trying to learn how to even administer such a scenario” the report stated.

PILF describes itself as “the nation’s only public interest law firm dedicated wholly to election integrity,” existing “to assist states and others to aid the cause of election integrity and fight against lawlessness in American elections.”

Former Justice Department civil rights attorney and current PJ Media contributor J. Christian Adams, the president of PILF, said the results don’t bode well for mail-in voting.

“These figures detail how the 2020 push to mail voting needs to be a one-year experiment,” Adams said in a statement.

Bills in Congress, including H.R. 1, the supposed For The People Act, “risk inflating these numbers even further, pushing our election system toward error, disenfranchisement, and ultimately widespread doubt about election outcomes,” Adams continued. “Some of the counties with the least experience in administering mail voting rejected the most ballots nationwide. If continued, 2020-style chaos will become the norm.”

Federal data compilations show that the status of 14.7 million ballots was deemed “unknown” by election officials during the 2020 election, and almost 43.1 million ballots combined from elections in 2012 and onward.

What Does “Unknown” Mean?

The brief PILF report defines it this way:

The U.S. Election Assistance Commission asks local officials how many ballots were not returned as voted, were undeliverable, or were otherwise “unable to be tracked.” The USPS Inspector General most recently reported that only 13 percent of mail ballots in the 2018 General Election used the official tracking system. This means there is a wide variety of things that can happen to a ballot in the “unknown” column.

In the 2020 election, there were 14.7 million “unknown” ballots nationwide, as well as 1.1 million undeliverable ballots, and 560,814 rejected ballots.

PILF helps put these figures in perspective by noting that Joe Biden carried Arizona by a mere 10,457 votes, yet Maricopa County, the state’s largest county, reportedly sent ballots to 110,092 wrong or outdated addresses.

Endless Wars = Endless Refugees

The last thing America needs is the compounded chaos of 30-thousand refugees.

It's time to end the madness. However you feel about President Joe Biden's handling of the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, I want you to focus on what's best for Americans on American soil right here. Right now.

Our citizens are suffering under continued draconian lockdowns, medical tyranny, skyrocketing inflation, violent crime, cancerous homelessness, border chaos, ideological persecution and Silicon Valley censorship.

Cops cannot or will not maintain law and order.

Gun owners who exercise their right to self-defense face scorn at best and decades in prison at worst.

Our troops are being emasculated and mass-vaccinated against their will.

The mental health crisis among veterans and teens is unceasing.

Health care workers have become shills and guinea pigs for Big Pharma.

Schools regulate how much air your children can breathe, whether they are allowed to have water breaks or sing in public, and how much guilt they must confess in the classroom for the sin of being white or part-white.

Our criminal justice system is run by corruptocrats and hijacked by mob rule.

Election integrity is a joke, and those who expose it are punished.

This country has transmogrified before our eyes into an incorrigible Clown World. The very last thing we need right now is to compound the chaos with the addition of 30,000 Afghan refugees imported through the Special Immigrant Visas program run by the notoriously open-borders, "America Last" U.S. State Department. According to documents obtained by Fox News over the weekend, the bureaucracy "plans to potentially relocate up to 30,000 Afghan SIV applicants into the United States in the immediate future" and resettle them at military bases such as Fort McCoy in Wisconsin and Fort Bliss in Texas "while still being vetted for parolee status."

"We want to have the capacity to get up to several thousand immediately and want to be prepared for the potential of tens of thousands," Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby told Fox News. "Bliss and McCoy have the capability right now — and what's advantageous is with a little bit of work, they could increase their capacity in very short order. ... We're going to focus on getting as many folks out as we can."

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Nelly. When do ordinary Americans, whose neighborhoods will be flooded with all these untold numbers of "folks," get a say about this "import first, ask questions later" refugee dump? Who voted for 6,000 of our best and bravest American soldiers to be used as travel agents and security guards for unlimited numbers of poor, unskilled and unvetted Afghans and their families who will soak up precious public resources in our age of pandemonium?

Bleeding-heart Democrats and Biden-bashing Republicans are both tripping over themselves to virtue signal over the sight of desperate Afghans clamoring into helicopters and planes to get out of their Godforsaken mess of a country. I understand the impulse to exploit the withdrawal fiasco for political gain. But pull yourselves together and think, people. Think.

The Special Immigrant Visas, or SIV, program was originally created to help a small number of Afghan and Iraqi interpreters who worked for the U.S military. By 2018, the U.S. Government Accountability Office reported that a whopping 60,000-plus individuals — about 20,000 principal SIV holders and their families — had been admitted to America under SIVs and received federal resettlement assistance upon arrival. The number of SIV visas has grown steadily over the past decade as the number of troops in the Middle East has shrunk. In 2017, 26,000 troops were stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq; that year, 18,000-plus SIV applications from Afghans and Iraqis were approved.

Do the math. This isn't compassion. It's a con game.

At what cost? In July, Open Borders Inc. advocates helped push through $1 billion in new funding for the Afghan SIV program. The cash benefits flow immediately — including resettlement grants, cash, medical assistance, social services, employment services, food stamps, case management services, and welfare that can last up to five years. Despite all that, the feds found that 60% of SIV holders were unemployed 90 days after arrival.

Meanwhile, Afghan SIV holders in Northern Virginia — where the numbers have increased more than tenfold since fiscal year 2013 and almost doubled from fiscal years 2015 through 2016, according to the Government Accountability Office — were straining schools, hospitals, and affordable housing before COVID-19 chaos. Imagine what the impact will be now — and don't be naive about the demographic and electoral consequences of recklessly throwing open the gates to these masses, let alone the public safety and national security implications of allowing untold numbers of refu-jihadis to blend in with the refugee population, which I've reported on extensively in my books and columns.

How do we prevent the refugee resettlement racket from pressuring American politicians to keep importing endless numbers of people from countries that hate our guts? Twenty years of reflection upon the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq should make it clear to all who truly put America first: Mind our own business first; put our country and its people first and stop exporting American soldiers to wage endless and hopeless wars in countries that hate our guts.

Holocaust survivor warns COVID-19 measures similar to Nazi Germany’s subjugation policies

Vera Sharav Holocaust survivor SPEAKING OUT

Reiner Fuellmich interview Vera Sharav and prepare for an international trial

(Natural News) A Holocaust survivor is sounding the alarm over the encroachment of so-called public health measures to counteract the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. She believes the policies are similar to the tactics Nazi Germany used to control entire countries.

Vera Sharav is a Romanian-born Holocaust survivor and medical activist. She has dedicated her life to advocating for the rights of medical research subjects in the United States.

In her career, she has successfully pressured the National Institutes of Mental Health to rewrite its protocols for dozens of psychiatric studies to better protect patients. She has successfully lobbied American drug regulatory bodies to be open about the risks of giving antidepressants to teenagers.

She has exposed illegal experiments that tested HIV drugs on toddlers in New York’s foster care system. She has also prevented the government from conducting research that would have paid low-income Florida families $970 to test their children’s reactions when exposed to certain household pesticides.

Today, Sharav uses her experience in medical activism to fight anybody that did not put the rights and protection of medical patients first. Her opponents have included academic researchers, pharmaceutical executives, drug regulators and all other kinds of so-called authorities.

Now, Sharav is turning her attention to making sure people’s rights are respected during the COVID-19 pandemic. (Related: Second Holocaust? CDC covid camps have no plans to allow healthy people to leave.)

Holocaust survivor sees parallels with Nazi Germany and today’s public health policies

Sherav recently appeared on the podcast of author Trish Wood, “Trish Wood is Critical.” Wood brought Sherav on to the podcast to discuss the former’s concerns regarding the terrifying direction public health measures are going.

According to Wood, she can see a lot of parallels between the narrative being used to justify COVID-19 measures such as lockdowns and the narrative employed by the Nazis in Germany to justify the subjugation of other people.

Sharav agreed with Wood and said it was logical to see the similarities between then and now. Of particular concern to both Wood and Sharav is how many physicians and other healthcare workers today and in Nazi Germany became instrumental in harming a lot of people.

Specifically, Sharav pointed to how doctors during the lead-up to the Nazi takeover of Germany were used to justify eugenics using the Darwinian idea of “survival of the fittest.”

“In the early part of the [20th] century, the entire academic establishment was infused with eugenics, stemming out of Darwin,” said Sharav. “What happens with a public health policy is that public health officials decide who shall live and who shall die.” She explained that this kind of mentality – that the government should get to decide who lives and dies – eventually led to the Holocaust.

She is worried that this kind of mentality is still pervasive today. “I have come to the conclusion that when doctors become aligned with government – [and] corporations for that matter – they discard their moral and professional responsibility to the individual patient,” she explained.

Sharav said it is “nonsense” for these doctors to suggest that the right thing to do is

sacrifice the rights of individuals in pursuit of a so-called greater good. She mentioned this in reference to the mainstream acceptance of lockdowns.

“As public officials, they talk about the greater good. Who has the authority to decide what is the greater good?” said Sharav. “If the individuals are oppressed or relegated to third-class citizens … what kind of society is it?”

Sharav said she believes modern society is on the cusp of turning more Nazi-like. Governments all over the world have used the pandemic and the fear of getting infected as a major weapon. She argued that this has prevented people from thinking critically. Instead, people are taught to distrust other people and to isolate themselves from their communities.

Instead of thinking critically, people are being taught to blindly trust public health officials and so-called experts.

“Hitler then, as rulers now, deferred to the health officials,” said Sharav. “We are constantly being told, ‘we are following the science.'” She warned that this will eventually lead to the “complete overthrow of human civilization.”

Pa. state Senate President Jake Corman fires Sen. Mastriano’s entire staff OVER ELECTIONS AUDIT

August 23, 2021 John

Rumble — We are following developing news out of Pennsylvania where state Senate President Jake Corman (R) just reassigned Sen. Doug Mastriano’s (R-Pa.) entire Harrisburg staff. This comes after the Republican also blocked Mastriano’s efforts to hold an election audit. One America’s Christina Bobb has more.

Pennsylvania Audit Update ( All eyes on PA Senate President Jake Corman)

Rumble — It appears that Senate Pennsylvania President Jake Corman, who previously showed support for an audit and legislative subpoenas, is holding the subpoena process behind.

Pennsylvania's election audit 'stopped for the time being ' Here's why

A Pennsylvania lawmaker’s effort to launch a forensic election audit is “stopped for the time being” he said Thursday, citing “betrayals” from unnamed groups that have been working with him. In a Facebook live video that was later deleted from his page, state Sen. Doug Mastriano, R-Franklin County, also lamented that his plan to have the Senate Intergovernmental Operations Committee, which he chairs, meet to approve subpoenas for three counties to provide access to their voting machines has been blocked. “The powers that be made sure that didn’t happen,” Mastriano said. But, Senate President Pro Tempore Jake Corman laid the blame squarely on Mastriano in a Friday statement in which Corman also said he has asked another state senator to lead the election audit effort. “It is deeply disappointing that Senator Mastriano has retreated from conducting a forensic investigation of the election in Pennsylvania, and it is discouraging to realize that he was only ever interested in politics and showmanship and not actually getting things done," Corman said. Corman said he has tapped Sen. Cris Dush, R-Clinton County, to oversee an audit. "We need someone to lead this effort who is more interested in real results than grandstanding at rallies," Corman said. Corman noted in his statement that Dush is an Air Force veteran who has led military investigations and also visited Arizona, along with Mastriano, to review its audit process. “We remain committed to an open, honest review that will lead to positive changes to restore the public’s faith in our elections," Corman said. Throughout his video, Mastriano seemed resigned that the audit had hit a dead end. “I’ve been stopped for the time being,” he told the audience, which shared inspirational Bible verses in the video chat. “If there’s a way I could do it without being stopped, a way around this obstacle, this momentary impediment, you know I would find it.” A visibly dejected Mastriano repeatedly talked about honor and loyalty, and he referred to supposed “like-minded” groups that he had introduced to people at “the highest levels of government” only to see them sidetracked by their newfound political power. “It’s really hard to overcome that when groups start betraying their benefactors,” Mastriano said. “Politics is disgusting.” Mastriano said it was “very discouraging” because these group members have professed to be Christians, but have acted otherwise. “Just pray that we get it done and pray that we stick together,” he said. “I would say we’re not in a very good spot right now.” Mastriano’s office did not respond to questions after the video was deleted later on Thursday. Asked about Mastriano's cryptic comments about the "powers that be," Senate Republican spokesperson Erica Clayton Wright said, “As chair of the Senate Intergovernmental Operations Committee, Sen. Mastriano has the authority to carry out his duties, including asking the committee to issue subpoenas under the rules of the Senate of Pennsylvania.

Canada Adds Bell’s Palsy Warning to Pfizer COVID Shot

Canada Adds Bell’s Palsy Warning to Pfizer COVID Shot

SEE: https://thevaccinereaction.org/2021/08/canada-adds-bells-palsy-warning-to-pfizer-covid-shot/;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

Health Canada, the Canadian government’s department responsible for national health policy, earlier this month updated the product information label for Pfizer/BioNTech’s experimental messenger RNA (mRNA) biologic (also known as BNT162b2 or “Comirnaty” vaccine) to reflect reported cases of Bell’s palsy—an immune mediated neurological disorder characterized by temporary muscle weakness or paralysis on one side of the face.¹ ² ³ ⁴

Health Canada had previously added a Bell’s palsy warning to the label of the Moderna/NIAID’s experimental mRNA-1273 biologic (also known as Spikevax vaccine).⁵

As of July 30, 2021, Health Canada had received 206 reports of Bell’s palsy after receiving the Comirnaty shot. Additionally, there were 67 reports of Bell’s palsy after getting the Spikevax shot and 37 reports of the condition after getting AstraZeneca/Oxford University’s experimental adenovirus vectored AZD1222 vaccine.² ³

According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, Bell’s palsy results from “damage to the facial nerve (the 7th cranial nerve). Pain and discomfort usually occur on one side of the face or head.” The condition is usually not permanent, but “in rare cases, it does not disappear.” Most people who suffer from Bell’s palsy regain full control of their facial expression, with recovery usually occurring from two weeks to six months after initial symptoms appear.⁶

An advisory issued by Health Canada listed the following additional symptoms of Bell’s palsy:

… uncoordinated movement of the muscles that control facial expression; loss of feeling in the face; headache; tearing from the eye; drooling; lost sense of taste on the front two-thirds of the tongue; hypersensitivity to sound in one ear; or inability to close an eye on one side of the face.¹ ⁴

Cases of Bell’s Palsy Reported During Clinical Trials

In a Dec. 22, 2020 article in The Vaccine Reaction, Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder and president of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), reported that staff members of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had recommended monitoring people who received Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna/NIAID shots for Bell’s palsy. Fisher noted that the recommendation had been made after the FDA staff had analyzed clinical trial data for both products used by the manufacturers to apply for an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to distribute the products in the U.S. before full licensure.⁷

During pre-EUA clinical trials for the Pfizer/BioNTech mRNA biologic involving 42,000 participants, there were four reported cases of Bell’s palsy among those who had received the biologic. In pre-EUA trials for the Moderna/NIAID biologic, which included 30,000 participants, there were four reported cases of Bell’s palsy and three of the cases had received the product.⁷

The U.S. military was too busy imposing wokeness on the armed forces to sketch out any plan to prevent the Taliban from seizing this money.

“Rep. Gallagher: ‘It’s up to Congress to make sure the Taliban does not walk away with a windfall,'” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, August 20, 2021:

As the Biden administration scrambles to evacuate American personnel from Afghanistan, it is overlooking the Taliban’s plans to seize some $10 billion in assets held by Afghanistan’s central bank, according to congressional foreign policy leaders.

Somewhere between $18 and $20 million in cash sits in the Afghan central bank’s vaults and is likely to fall into the Taliban’s hands unless the United States attempts to intercept the funds and fly them out of the country—a scenario that sources say is unlikely as the Biden administration struggles to pull Americans out of Taliban-controlled Kabul.

The Treasury Department would not answer questions about any plan it has to secure cash still located inside the country. A Biden administration official, speaking only on background about the matter, told the Washington Free Beacon that all Afghan assets held as investments in the United States—which amount to around $7 billion—have been frozen and “will not be made available to the Taliban.” The Afghan central bank has around $10 billion in total assets, most of which are stored outside the country and out of the Taliban’s reach in the short term. Taliban leaders are pressing bank officials to give them access to these funds, according to Afghan government officials.

Republican foreign policy leaders in Congress say the Biden administration is in no place to secure Afghanistan’s fortune given its disorganized evacuation of Americans from the country, which is still taking place. They say the administration had no contingency plans in place and failed to anticipate the Taliban’s quick return to power.

Rep. Mike Gallagher (R., Wis.), a member of the House Armed Services Committee, said it is Congress’s responsibility to make sure the Taliban does not become wealthy as a result of its government takeover.

“While I am glad the administration has indicated it will not allow the Taliban to gain access to Afghan reserves held in the United States, it’s up to Congress to make sure the Taliban does not walk away with a windfall,” Gallagher told the Free Beacon. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) “must immediately reconvene Congress for an emergency session so we can do so.”

The United States froze cash shipments to Afghanistan during the weekend, when the Taliban marched into Kabul and retook control of the country. Some in the Biden administration, however, have floated plans to unfreeze Afghanistan’s cash reserves or offer the Taliban foreign aid if it agrees to spare the embattled U.S. embassy compound in Kabul, according to one source with knowledge of the ongoing deliberations. The administration could also be forced to repatriate a portion of these funds as part of future negotiations with the Taliban that are certain to take place in the coming weeks and months.

Still, the Taliban is doing all it can to get its hand on any money still stashed inside the country, and its leaders are “asking [central bank] officials about the location of assets,” according to Ajmal Ahmady, the bank’s most recent governor, who fled the country as the Taliban marched into Kabul….

Taliban’s regulations for women will send chills down your spine~Taliban Sets Woman On Fire For ‘Bad Cooking’ & MUCH MORE ABUSIVE TREATMENT OF WOMEN

Conventional media have put all their resources into whitewashing the brutalities of the Taliban and giving them an image makeover, so as to make them acceptable to the modern world and perhaps win these mountain savages a seat at the United Nations. They tell us that Taliban 2.0 is a whole different entity and is not comparable to the Taliban that had wreaked havoc in Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001. After all, the Muslim group has promised to honor women rights and allow them to continue to work as usual. Little girls could receive education as well.

We are a little confused by the Taliban’s commitment to permitting girls to go to school, because quite recently, Taliban jihadis were going door-to-door hunting down girls as young as twelve years old, to take them as sex slaves. We have learned of a woman being lashed for wearing revealing slippers and another burka-clad woman being shot dead for not covering her face enough. And these atrocities have happened under the rule of the moderate, women’s-rights-acknowledging Taliban 2.0.

Leaders of the Muslim outfit have clarified their views on women’s rights in the country: “The rights of women will be under the Sharia law,” affirmed Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, during their first press conference since conquering Kabul.

And what are the rights granted to women by this esteemed Islamic law? Let’s look at the “rights” Afghan women enjoyed during Taliban 1.0 from 1996 to 2001; or shall we call them impositions?

Women were not allowed to walk out of their homes without a burqa covering every inch of their skin, including their feet, hands and face. Most women during that period opted for the shuttlecock burqa that covered them from head to toe; there was a little gap for the eyes, but with a net or mesh covering the gap so that their eyes couldn’t be seen. It was mandatory for every woman to be accompanied by a male family member – a blood relative – while she was out on the street.

No man should be able to hear the footsteps of a woman, hence, high heels or any kind of footwear that produced a sound while walking were banned from use by women.

A woman’s voice must not reach the ears of a man who is not related to her. Hence she must watch the level of sound she was producing while talking. Would it be “Islamophobia” if we said that the Taliban had perfected the textbook version of silencing a woman?

Again, as women were prohibited from being viewed by men who were not related to her by blood, it was mandatory that the windows of all ground floors be painted in a dark tint, covered, or shut at all times, just in case a woman passed by and became visible to a man in the ground floor.

Also, women were barred from standing at the balconies of their houses, as that could allow men on the streets or male neighbors to catch a glimpse of them.

The word “woman” was removed from all public places or names of public places.

Women were precluded from having their pictures taken or being filmed. No images of women could be printed on the pages of books or newspapers, or kept at stores or in homes.

It goes without saying that women were not allowed to be in movies or on television, or to work at radio stations. They were forbidden from forming groups outdoors or holding public gatherings.

Women have never been allowed to work in offices under the Taliban. They cannot work as journalists, bankers, teachers, nurses, doctors or hold administrative positions, as these jobs would land them amidst male colleagues who are not related to them. Office jobs held by women were subsequently passed on to their male family members.

Little girls were banned from going to school. Numerous schools imparting education to girls have been bombed or burned down by the Taliban, not only in Afghanistan, but in several countries where they have gained the slightest foothold.

No woman under the Taliban rule in Afghanistan ever enjoyed the basic human right of speaking her mind or dressing as she liked. Women who flouted any of the above commandments were subjected to harsh, undreamed-of and ruthless punishments by the religious police. They could be stoned to death, mutilated, or given hundreds of lashes with a meter-long metal lash. Many of these women perished in the midst of receiving their penalty.

Afghanistan in 1996 witnessed a young woman’s finger being chopped off by the Taliban; she had dared to paint her nails. A woman named Bibi Aisha was forced into a nightmarish marriage as a trade-off to settle a family dispute. When she tried to escape the violent and abusive marriage, the Taliban, to shame her for her act of disobedience and to set a warning example for the other young women in the community, severed her nose and ears.

One must be an absolute ignoramus living in denial to even begin to trust that the Taliban will leave the Afghan women alone this time.

Taliban Sets Woman on Fire for 'Bad Cooking'

There’s more at stake in Afghanistan than U.S. prestige or the future of Joe Biden’s presidency. Millions of women in Afghanistan who were just starting to assert their rights as females are now condemned to being sent back to the Middle Ages under the Taliban’s notion of “women’s rights.”

Admittedly, the Afghanistan version of women’s liberation, even with the presence of thousands of American troops, was unrecognizable to most western women. Strictures placed on female behavior as well as opportunities for employment had been dictated by the Islamic religion. And there are other Muslim countries with almost as severe rules and regulations women must abide by as they will be forced to in Taliban Afghanistan.

But freedom of any kind must be nurtured and encouraged. The Taliban would destroy any hope of a future for Afghan women and girls.

As an illustration of what Afghan women are in for, one activist tells what happened to a woman forced to cook for the Taliban.

Taliban fighters allegedly set a woman on fire for “bad cooking,” as other women in Afghanistan go into hiding and reportedly being forced into sex slavery.

“They are forcing people to give them food and cook them food. A woman was put on fire because she was accused of bad cooking for Taliban fighters,” activist and former Afghan judge Najla Ayoubi told Sky News.

Fox News:

Ayoubi fled the country when the Taliban began taking more control of Afghanistan, and said she has since received multiple reports of violence against women. She added that she has also heard many female activists are in hiding due to fear of violence.

“There are so many young women are being in the past few weeks being shipped into neighboring countries in coffins to be used as sex slaves,” she said.

“They also force families to marry their young daughters to Taliban fighters. I don‘t see where is the promise that they think women should be going to work, when we are seeing all of these atrocities.”

The Taliban had announced with much fanfare after the fall of Kabul that they would respect all women’s rights granted by the Koran. Needless to say, few believed that was a good omen for women in Afghanistan.

CNBC:

Across multiple media networks, there have been countless reports and pictures of people, including women and children, being beaten by the ultra-conservative Muslim militants.

There’s a “major disconnect” between what is said to the media and what happens in reality, Heather Barr, interim co-director of the women’s rights division at Human Rights Watch.

In an article on HRW’s site, she said Taliban militants have closed entire schools for girls in recent months and years.

“The Taliban spokesman has continued to pledge respect for women’s rights, but his claims ring more hollow than ever,” she said.

The Taliban — and ISIS — claim they represent Islam in its “purest” form. More mainstream Muslims strongly disagree with that, but their opposition to the Taliban has been muted largely because they are advancing the cause of Islam — imperfectly, in their eyes, but advancing it nonetheless.

Now, this pure form of Islam — that countenances the burning of a woman because she supposedly can’t cook — is getting the light and oxygen to thrive when it should have been driven off with a stick. Ultimately, radical Islam will lose because they refuse to utilize 50 percent of the brainpower, creativity, courage, and energy found in the female members of the species.

We can only hope they remain as stupid about women in the future as they are today.

Biden Closes Kabul Airport and order private airlines to assist

'Disaster on Every Level' As Biden Closes Kabul Airport and Orders Commercial Airlines to Aid the Evacuation

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

The Biden administration was forced to close the Kabul airport as the chaotic, catastrophically planned evacuation of American citizens from Afghanistan is overwhelming state department employees with too much paperwork.

There are thousands of people — mostly Afghan civilians who collaborated with the U.S. military — waiting at the airport to be rescued. According to the British military, seven Afghans have died at the airport from the heat and the crush of people.

Can it get any worse? Why yes. Yes, it can.

ISIS has issued a warning to Americans looking to leave Afghanistan. This precipitated a warning from the U.S. embassy for Americans to avoid going to the airport.

Does Biden expect people to walk home from Afghanistan?

Do you want “worse”? How about the Pentagon not knowing what the State Department is doing?

The threat from ISIS is being taken very seriously. Islamic State would like nothing better than to embarrass their mortal enemies, the Taliban by sending a suicide bomber into the densely packed crowds at the airport.

The Pentagon has been analyzing the events in and around the area, CNN reported. The main concern at the moment is that the large crowds gathering around the airport and surrounding areas could create a situation in which ISIS can attack. The most pressing concerns seem to be about potential suicide bombers and car bombers, CNN reported.

“There’s a whole canopy of security concerns we have,” Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said at a press briefing Saturday, as he described the military “fighting against both time and space” in its effort to safely evacuate people.

But it appears that the president shut the airport in order to allow the bureaucrats to catch up with the paperwork.

The US State Department announced it was closing the airport for at least 48 hours to concentrate on processing the hundreds already inside.

With the scenes outside the besieged airport growing ever more desperate, the US military had resorted to dispatching helicopters into the Afghan capital to ferry terrified evacuees unable to reach the terminal.

On Saturday afternoon it locked the airport gates, saying no more people would be allowed in until the huge backlog of refugees and fleeing nationals had been cleared.

The situation is deteriorating every day. Thousands of Americans still need to be evacuated and before it was shut down, huge cargo planes capable of holding hundreds of evacuees were taking off from the airport with only a handful of people on board.

The administration has activated a little-known law that would give the government the power to order civilian airlines to supply them with airlift capability.

The Department of Defense will compel commercial airlines to help with the evacuation of Afghans and U.S. personnel from Afghanistan, the third time that the U.S. has activated what is known as the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF).

Eighteen aircraft will be used, including 3 from American Airlines, 3 from Delta Air Lines, 3 from Atlas Air, 3 from Omni Air, 2 from Hawaiian Airlines and 4 from United Airlines. The planes will not be going to Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said in a statement, but will transport people from “temporary safe havens and interim staging bases.”

Begging your pardon, Mr. President, but shouldn’t all this planning have been done before you allowed the Taliban to walk into Kabul?

In truth, the civilian planes would not be flying to Kabul. They would be picking up evacuees at our bases in Qatar, Bahrain, and Germany and ferry them…somewhere. The Americans will go home, of course, but what about the 20,000 Afghans who are on the way? If the evacuation had been accomplished competently, those Afghan collaborators would have been sent to nations that helped the coalition efforts. That’s not likely to happen now.

Who the hell is in charge?

Biden Administration to Use Commercial Airlines to Carry Afghan Evacuees

President Joe Biden's administration said on Sunday that commercial aircraft would be used to help ferry people who have been evacuated from Afghanistan.

The move highlights the difficulty the administration is having in carrying out the evacuation of American citizens and at-risk Afghans.

A Pentagon spokesman said the 18 aircraft, including from United, American Airlines, and Delta, would not fly into Kabul but would be used to transport people who have already been flown out of Afghanistan.

This would be only the third time the "Civil Reserve Air Fleet" has been activated. The first time was during the Gulf War in 1990 and then during the invasion of Iraq in 2002.

The first occurred in support of Operations Desert Shield/Storm (Aug. 1990 to May 1991), and the second was for Operation Iraqi Freedom (Feb. 2002 to June 2003).

The United States and other foreign countries including Britain have brought in several thousand troops to manage the evacuations of foreign citizens and vulnerable Afghans, but have stayed away from the outside areas of the airport.

U.S. officials told Reuters that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin weighed whether the move would have an impact on the airlines' commercial operations.

"The (Defense) Department does not anticipate a major impact to commercial flights from this activation," Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said in a statement.

But limited numbers of aircraft is just one of the issues facing the evacuation. Officials are frustrated with the slow processing being conducted by the Department of Homeland Security and State Department.

There is also increasing concern about security in Kabul, where roughly 5,800 troops are protecting the airport.

Afghanistan: Taliban shot, stabbed, and gouged out eyes of pregnant woman because she had a job

“Women, under Sharia law, are not permitted to work.”

Sharia also sanctions violence against women: the Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” — Qur’an 4:34

Muhammad’s child bride, Aisha, says in a hadith that Muhammad “struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: ‘Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?’” — Sahih Muslim 2127

An another hadith states: “Rifa`a divorced his wife whereupon `AbdurRahman bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi married her. `Aisha said that the lady (came), wearing a green veil (and complained to her (Aisha) of her husband and showed her a green spot on her skin caused by beating). It was the habit of ladies to support each other, so when Allah’s Messenger came, Aisha said, ‘I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes!’” — Sahih Bukhari 7.77.5825

“Shot, stabbed Afghan woman whose eyes were knifed out by Taliban says they ‘torture us,’ feed remains to dogs,” by Sarah Taylor, The Blaze, August 19, 2021:

An Afghani woman by the name of Khatera says that the Taliban will not respect or honor women’s rights despite the terrorist group’s assertions otherwise.

In a Monday interview with India’s News18, Khatera, 33, recalled the horrific attack that took place in 2020 when her father — a former Taliban fighter — tipped off the Islamist militant group that his daughter was employed.

Women, under Sharia law, are not permitted to work.

In October, Khatera said that her father, who remains unnamed at the time of this reporting, purportedly conspired with the Taliban to stage an attack on her as she returned home from work one day.

During the attack, Khatera — who worked for the police at the time — was shot at least eight times, stabbed, and had her eyes knifed out of their sockets before Taliban fighters left her for dead.

She was pregnant during the horrific attack.

“It’s tough for the world to imagine what we built in the past 20 years,” she told the outlet. “We built dreams. Now they are gone. It’s all over for us. Women who work with the government or police were being hunted and threatened even before the Taliban had taken over the country. Now, the concern has gone beyond letting women work. At this point, I am scared if they would leave these women alive. They don’t just kill women — they make animals feed on their bodies. They are a blot on Islam.”

Khatera said that the Taliban does not view women as “living, breathing human beings,” but “merely some meat and flesh to be battered.”

“[The Taliban] first torture us and then discard our bodies to show as a specimen of punishment,” she said. “Sometimes our bodies are fed to dogs. I was lucky I survived it. One has to live in Afghanistan under the Taliban to even imagine what hell has befallen on women, children, and minorities here.”…

Poland deploys troops along Belarus border to combat Muslim ‘migration warfare’~Lithuania building wall to ‘protect border of democracy’ from surge of Muslim migrants

Poland and other Baltic nations are accusing the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, of sending migrants across their borders and “of using the migrants as instruments in a hybrid war.”

Despite the history of jihad, and the extensive information available about Islamic conquest — which includes stealth invasion via immigration and massive birth-rates — Western globalists continue to fall into the trap of open borders. Jihadists routinely infiltrate refugee streams, and although it is often repeated that jihadists are only a few Muslims, this assertion is misleading. There are Islamic nations that fund jihad, and Islamic nations that persecute religious minorities in the name of Islam. These are major issues; so are surveys that demonstrate widespread Muslim support for the Sharia, which is central to Islam. The majority of Muslims do support Sharia — which according to mainstream Islam is divine and irrefutable.

Sharia and democracy are incompatible. A flood of Muslim migrants will change the values of non-Muslim societies over time. We already see this happening with the “Islamophobia” subterfuge in operation at every turn in Western countries now. Free speech is the cornerstone of all democracies and free societies; yet criticizing Islam has become in the West an “offense” worthy of punishment. Western freedoms are being chipped away, amid bad policies that failed to protect Western values.

Kudos to Poland for defending its democratic republic. The Polish Defense Ministry stated that he “government´s priority is the safety of Polish citizens.”

In 2017, “thousands of Catholics formed a human chain along the borders of Poland on the anniversary of an historic victory by Europe over the Ottoman Empire officially to pray for peace and ‘against the Islamisation of Europe.'”

“Poland Deploys Troops to Belarus Border to Combat Migration Warfare,” Associated Press, August 18, 2021:

WARSAW, Poland (AP) – Poland has deployed hundreds of troops and is laying barbed wire along its border with Belarus to stop the arrival of migrants seeking to enter the country, officials said Wednesday.

Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said more than 900 Polish troops were involved in the border operation. It’s believed that most of the migrants trying to cross over from Belarus are originally from Iraq, with some from Afghanistan and Syria as well.

Poland, like the Baltic nations of Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia, accuse the authoritarian government of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko of sending migrants across their borders, which also form part of the European Union´s eastern border.

A deputy interior minister in Poland, Maciej Wasik, tweeted images of rolls of barbed wire laid along the border. The Defense Ministry said that barbed wire now runs for nearly 100 kilometers (60 miles) of the 418-kilometer (260-mile) Poland-Belarus border and that enough to cover another 50 kilometers most vulnerable to illegal border crossings would be installed soon.

The Defense Ministry said Wednesday that 2,100 people tried to illegally cross the border so far this month. Of those people, border guards prevented 1,342 from entering Poland and 758 “were detained and imprisoned in closed centers.”

“The government´s priority is the safety of Polish citizens,” the ministry said in a statement. The government, which is led by the right-wing Law and Justice party, “has been opposed to illegal and uncontrolled migration from the outset” and believes the migrants trying to get in from Belarus “maybe pose a threat to our citizens.”

Two lawmakers from the opposition party Civic Platform party brought blankets, sleeping bags and food to a group of some 50 people trapped in a no-man´s land between Poland and Belarus on Wednesday. They called on the Polish government to ensure the group was given humane treatment.

Poland and the Baltic nations accuse Lukashenko of using the migrants as instruments in a “hybrid war.” They believe his government has acted in retaliation to EU sanctions imposed on Belarus following Lukashenko’s reelection last year in a vote which the West saw as rigged, as well as for harsh repressions of Belarusian protesters….

Lithuania building wall to ‘protect border of democracy’ from surge of Muslim migrants

Kudos to Lithuanian leaders. Lithuania is a tiny country which has stood up for its citizens, amid serious globalist bullying. The term “border of democracy” perfectly describes what all Western countries faced with illegal border entries should have erected years ago to protect their citizens. No reasonable person has historically opposed responsible immigration and refugee assistance, but open-borders mass migration is a different phenomenon that strips immigrants of all responsibility to their new country. Such a system provides a free-for-all opportunity for jihadists and the worst criminals. Yet such policies have been advocated by globalists who are enabling the red/green axis of Marxists and Islamic supremacists.

Meanwhile, law-abiding citizens of the West are forced to adhere to a different set of rules, including strict border controls, especially during the coronavirus lockdowns. Lithuanian leaders have exposed the character of Western leaders who have failed to act to protect their country’s best interests, even some who call themselves conservatives, such as UK’s Boris Johnson government.

“Exclusive: ‘Border of Democracy’ – Lithuanian MP on Why Country Is Building a Wall to Stop Illegals,” by Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart, August 15, 2021:

A Lithuanian MP has told Breitbart News that her country will stand firm in protecting the “border of democracy” as Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko continues to attempt to weaponise illegal migration against the European Union.

This week, the parliament in Lithuania declared a “state-level extreme situation” in regards to the growing migrant crisis, in which some 4,000 illegal aliens — mostly from Iraq — have crossed the border between Belarus and the small EU member-state.

The Lukashenko regime has been accused of actively facilitating migrants from Africa and the Middle East crossing the border, with many seeing it as a response to the EU sanctions imposed on the former Soviet bloc nation in June.

In response, the Lithuanian parliament voted in favour of erecting a border fence with Belarus this week.

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart London, Lithuanian MP Dovilė Šakalienė said: “We are not living in one big state, there are states and there are borders.”

“We have to protect ourselves because this is the border of democracy. Our eastern border is the end of the EU and the end of democracy,” she said.

Šakalienė said that the scale of illegal migration into Lithuania, which has increased fifty-fold over 2020, with some 4,000 illegal migrants crossing the border, demonstrates that “this is not a natural migration”.

“Through surveillance, we see that the Belarusian border force is actively assisting migrants to come to the Lithuanian border,” she said, backing up claims from the European Union’s border agency, Frontex, which claimed to have drone footage proving Lukashenko’s regime has been facilitating the illegal crossings of the border.

Poland, another EU member-state bordering Lithuania and Belarus, has also seen record border crossings from the latter in recent days, mostly of Afghans and Iraqis.

Following the sanctions imposed on Belarus by the European Union after Minsk used a warplane to force a Ryanair flight to Lithuania to land in the country to arrest a prominent critic of the government, the Lukashenko regime has been accused of flying in migrants from Iraq in order to flood the border.

Šakalienė said that “so-called tourism agencies” in Iraq have been advertising “European excursions” for thousands of dollars per migrant, promoting the “lie” from Lukashenko that there is no border between Belarus and Lithuania.

“When these people come, they are in a mousetrap because of course our border is secure and they cannot pass. It’s easier for migrants to understand what’s going on if there is a border fence, that it was deceit, they were defrauded by Lukashenko’s regime that there are no walls and that they can enter the European Union.”….

War Is Over, But Now Leftists Want Reparations to Taliban

Richard Burgon, a member of the British Parliament for the far-Left Labour party and Secretary of the Socialist Campaign Group of Labour MPs, demonstrated Tuesday that the Left’s commitment to the redistribution of wealth is indefatigable: He declared that what the West really needs to do now is start forking over money to the Taliban. Burgon tweeted: “The crisis in Afghanistan is the result of 20 years of disastrous military intervention. Just as in Iraq & Libya, backing US-led invasions led to a huge loss of life. There is no military solution in Afghanistan. The focus now should be on reparations and supporting refugees.”

Yes, reparations. Paying reparations to Afghanistan would essentially mean funding the Taliban, which has a billion-dollar budget as it is and has no need of the largesse of British or American taxpayers. And Burgon is not alone. Britain’s far-Left Stop the War Coalition issued a statement Sunday demanding that the British government “take a lead in offering a refugee programme and reparations to rebuild Afghanistan, an act which would go a great deal further in advancing the rights of the Afghan people, women in particular, than continued military or economic intervention in the fate of the Afghanistan.”

The call for reparations to the Taliban has been heard on this side of the Atlantic as well. Shabana Mir, an associate professor at American Islamic College in Chicago, first implied that Afghanistan didn’t need any help from the West: “The Western savior narrative vis-a-vis Afghanistan is a framing of Afghanistan as in need of Western help, as dependent on Western help — rather than as a Western-exploited and Western-ravaged people and land.” Then, however, she added: “The U.S. owes s**tloads of reparations to Afghanistan.” The U.S. should have no say in how this money is used: “I have hopes that Afghans can build, if military contractors and the U.S. would get the hell out of the way.”

Meanwhile, far-Left Canadian “journalist” Paul Jay believes that “there must be significant reparations paid to the Afghan people to be administered by the U.N.” Another Leftist “journalist,” Spencer Ackerman, who was primarily responsible ten years ago for getting all mention of Islam and jihad removed from U.S. counterterror training, asked: “What do we owe the Afghan people? We owe them a life they can live, resettling them in the United States if they so choose, and we owe them reparations. Reparations is a charged word, and I do not use it here to suggest that reparations for the descendants of the enslaved ought to wait until we pay reparations for the War on Terror. I mean here that throughout history, the losers of wars have had to pay reparations, though typically to the regimes and not people. But it is people whom the U.S. owes, not regimes.”

Great. But anyone who realistically appraises the situation for longer than five seconds (yes, that leaves Leftists out) will understand that any attempt to aid the Afghan people at this point will have to go through the Taliban, and the Taliban is likely to have other priorities altogether. If Biden’s handlers are crazy enough, and they may well be, to start sending “reparations” to Afghanistan, the Taliban would likely use the money the way the Islamic Republic of Iran used the billions in cash that Barack Obama sent it: to strengthen its military forces and to finance global jihad terrorism. This is why protesters in Iran recently chanted “Not Gaza, not Lebanon, the money for Iranians”: They’re tired of seeing their nation’s wealth used to aid jihad activity abroad while the Iranian people are suffering. The Taliban, which is just as committed to the global jihad as the Iranian mullahs are, would likely use any Western largesse in the same way, and with the same indifference to the plight of their own people.

Even aside from that, the idea of paying reparations to the Taliban is as insane as the idea of paying reparations is in other contexts. The American people (and the British) have already paid exorbitant amounts in taxes to finance the Afghan military misadventures, which dragged on for twenty years in the absence of a clear mission or goal. Now, are they to be bled dry even more to finance a rebuilding of Afghanistan that the Taliban is unlikely to undertake? Will the Afghan people then pay the U.S. reparations for the Taliban’s aiding of al-Qaeda in preparing for the 9/11 attacks? Once one starts down this road, it never ends. The history of the world is full of wars and conquests; the history of Islam is full of the conquest and subjugation of various populations of infidels. If we’re going to start talking about reparations, it would be only fair to include reparations to the victims of 1,400 years of jihad. That reparations bill would dwarf any payment the West supposedly owes to the Taliban.

U.S. Military Rescues 169 Americans Trapped in Kabul Hotel

A nugget of good news from Afghanistan today: U.S. forces rescued 169 Americans who had been in hiding in a hotel in Kabul and brought them safely to the Kabul airport. It’s believed to be the largest such rescue beyond the grounds of the airport to date.

The Americans had gathered at The Baron hotel in Kabul, a designated meeting point for evacuees in the city. Originally, the Americans were going to walk 200 yards from the hotel to the airport gate. U.S. commanders didn’t like the look of the crowd at the gate so they dispatched three Chinook helicopters to pick up the Americans.

NDTV:

Pentagon Spokesman John Kirby downplayed the incident.

“They were very close to the perimeter of the airport. Very close,” he said, adding later that they had been airlifted from the Baron hotel, near the airport, by three US Chinook helicopters.

The helicopters had been deployed due to concerns for the Americans’ safety in traversing a huge crowd that had gathered outside the airport’s Abbey entry gate.

“There was a large crowd established outside the Abbey Gate, a crowd that not everybody had confidence in, in terms of their ability to walk through it, and so local commanders on the scene took the initiative and flew these helicopters out there to pick them up,” Kirby said.

The hotel rescue was gratifying but hardly significant. While the number of Americans still trapped in Kabul is unknown, it’s believed to be at least 5,000 and perhaps as many as 15,000. And there are as many as 20,000 Afghans who either have visas or desperately want them because they worked with the U.S. military.

Scenes like this are only going to get worse.

So far, according to the Pentagon, just 7,000 Americans and Afghans have been evacuated.

CNBC:

U.S. Army Maj. Gen. William “Hank” Taylor said that while the U.S. military can airlift approximately 5,000 to 9,000 people a day out of Kabul, that figure is dependent on “who is on the airfield, ready to leave a holding area and get on the aircraft.”

More than 2,000 people were evacuated on C-17 aircraft in the past 24 hours, Taylor said. Pentagon spokesman John Kirby estimated that about 300 of the passengers were Americans. Kirby told reporters Thursday he does not know how many U.S. citizens are left in Afghanistan.

Not all the Americans in Kabul want to leave. Some are spouses of Afghan civilians. Others work for NGOs and charities. But there is no way the U.S. military is going to be able to fulfill Joe Biden’s promise to evacuate everyone who wants to leave. The Taliban are not going to have unlimited patience and unless our military is allowed to go beyond the airport perimeter and start picking up Americans for transport home, the chances for a safe and orderly evacuation are non-existent.

STRANDED AMERICAN TRAPPED IN AFGHANISTAN SPEAKS OUT: US State Dept. sent out BLANK US Visas~‘The airport is very dangerous’

Biden Administration Sent Out Thousands of ‘Bogus’ Visas to Americans in Afghanistan

The proof of the Biden administration’s incompetence keeps piling up in the wake of the botched Afghanistan withdrawal. According to a report from Newsweek, Biden’s State Department sent out thousands of “bogus” generic visa documents to Americans in Afghanistan to help them get out of the country,

David Fox, who runs a marketing company in Kabul, said he received an email from the U.S. Embassy’s consular services department that included the document, meant to help U.S. citizens and Afghan citizens eligible for Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs) to leave the country.

Fox noted that the document looks like a U.S. visa, except it had no name, serial number, or barcode on it.

Clearly, the Biden administration didn’t consider the most obvious result of such a foolish move.

“And what do you think happened when these people received a document like this that has no name? Of course, they printed out a thousand copies,” Fox said. “You have tens of thousands of Afghans who now have this kind of ridiculous, bogus document that the State Department created.”

“I don’t know how else to explain something like this except for brain worms,” Fox added. “I mean, it’s absurd. What were they thinking?”

While several Biden administration officials have claimed that they prepared for every contingency, this rank incompetence proves again how unprepared they were for what happened, and this poorly thought-out remedy shows they’re flying by the seats of their pants trying to fix the situation… and making things worse.

A spokesperson for the State Department confirmed to Newsweek that it sent the documents to potential travelers in Afghanistan.

Thousands of Afghan citizens and Americans have descended upon the airport in Kabul in the hopes of fleeing the country.

State Dept. Issues Terrifying Alert a Day After Biden Said Americans Could Safely Get to the Kabul Airport

On Thursday Joe Biden called an indefinite lid on making public remarks or appearances and reportedly left Washington and went to Delaware.

Then he abruptly changed course and delivered an address from the White House. He also took a small number of questions live from the media for the first time since the fall of Kabul, Afghanistan, to the Taliban. He has given one interview, to ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, but that was a trainwreck despite ABC’s effort to cut out some of the most disturbing parts.

None of Biden’s actions since Afghanistan started rapidly deteriorating last weekend indicate stability or his administration’s confidence in his ability to lead or even comment on the situation. Every time he has thus far — last Monday, Wednesday, and then Friday — he has made the situation worse.

During Friday’s brief press conference a reporter asked Biden about the ongoing issue of Americans stranded in Kabul, and whether he would authorize the military to go out and rescue any. There have been reports that while our military is not proactively rescuing stranded Americans around the besieged city, British and other allied military forces are rescuing their stranded citizens.

Here is how that exchange went.

Q Thank you, Mr. President. Two questions for you. The military has secured the airport, as you mentioned, but will you sign off on sending U.S. troops into Kabul to evacuate Americans who haven’t been able to get to the airport safely?

THE PRESIDENT: We have no indication that they haven’t been able to get — in Kabul — through the airport. We’ve made an agreement with the — with the Taliban. Thus far, they’ve allowed them to go through. It’s in their interest for them to go through. So, we know of no circumstance where American citizens are — carrying an American passport — are trying to get through to the airport. But we will do whatever needs to be done to see to it they get to the airport.

That was Friday. After the president’s speech, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told members of Congress that she believed things were going well in Afghanistan and the stranded should just get to the airport.

A day later the U.S. State Department has issued the following warning to Americans stranded in Kabul.

Event: Because of potential security threats outside the gates at the Kabul airport, we are advising U.S. citizens to avoid traveling to the airport and to avoid airport gates at this time unless you receive individual instructions from a U.S. government representative to do so.

U.S. citizens requesting assistance in departing the country who have not yet to completed the Repatriation Assistance Request for each traveler in their group should do so as soon as possible. Spouses and minor children of U.S. citizens in Afghanistan who are awaiting immigrant visas should also complete this form if they wish to depart. Do not call the U.S. Embassy in Kabul for details or updates about the flight. This form is the only way to communicate interest in flight options.

We will contact registered U.S. citizens as the security situation changes to provide further instructions.

Actions to take:

Be aware of your surroundings at all times, especially in large crowds.
Follow the instructions of local authorities including movement restrictions related to curfews.
Have a contingency plan for emergencies and review the Traveler’s Checklist.
Monitor local media for breaking events and adjust your plans based on new information.
Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program(STEP) to receive Alerts and make it easier to locate you in an emergency.
Follow the Department of State on Facebook and Twitter.

“…we are advising U.S. citizens to avoid traveling to the airport and avoid the airport gates at this time…”

In remarks the stranded Americans may have been able to watch, Joe Biden told them the opposite just a day prior, and Pelosi told the same to Congress — that they could and should go to the Kabul airport.

Among the questions before the nation now is whether Biden lied during his remarks on Friday, whether advisors are not telling him the truth of the situation, or whether he simply cannot retain or recall current, relevant facts. All of these possibilities are in play since the White House keeps trying to hide Biden for some reason or set of reasons.

Consider this. During his brief press conference on Friday, a reporter asked about the blistering reactions of U.S. allies in response to his handling of Afghanistan. Biden said he had heard of no criticism from U.S. allies.

What’s your message to America’s partners around the world who have criticized not the withdrawal, but the conduct of that withdrawal, and made — made them question America’s credibility on the world stage?

THE PRESIDENT: I have seen no question of our credibility from our allies around the world. I have spoken with our NATO Allies. We’ve spoken with NATO Allies — the Secretary of State. Our National Security Advisor has been in contact with his counterparts throughout the world with our Allies, as has the General — or, excuse me, I keep calling him a General, but my Secretary of Defense.

The fact of the matter is I have not seen that. Matter of fact, the exact opposite I’ve got — the exact opposite thing is we’re acting with dispatch, we’re acting — committing to what we said we would do.

Just a day before that, the British Parliament held Biden in contempt. Members of Parliament across the political spectrum including the current and former prime minister castigated Biden by name for criticizing the Afghan military and for abandoning Afghanistan — and for his failure to consult with the British and other NATO allies. They openly questioned whether NATO itself should be restructured so that the United States would play a reduced role in it, or no role at all.

Has Biden really not heard any of this? Has he not been briefed on this? Is he unable to process and remember it?

Or is he just lying about it?

Biden’s Bungle: U.S. General Tells British Special Forces Commander in Kabul to Stop Rescuing Your Citizens

U.S. General Reportedly Tells British Commander in Kabul to Stop Rescuing People Because They're Making the U.S. Look Bad

It’s white-knuckle time in Kabul for any American trying to get to the safety of the airport. The Biden administration is being understandably tight-lipped about it, considering the volatility of the Taliban, but that doesn’t matter to the thousands of U.S. civilians staying in their homes and praying the Taliban don’t get to them. They just want to go home with their heads firmly attached to their necks.

According to the Washington Examiner’s Tom Rogan, British special forces have been making heroic efforts to rescue not only British citizens but Americans as well. But the commanding general of the 82nd Airborne Division has told the British commander of their special forces to cease operations outside the airport perimeter. Apparently, it was making the U.S. military look bad.

I understand that the commanding general of the 82nd Airborne Division has told the commander of the British special forces at the Kabul airport to cease operations beyond the airport perimeter.

Maj. Gen. Christopher Donahue has told his British Army counterpart, a high-ranking field-grade officer of the British army’s 22nd Special Air Service Regiment, that British operations were embarrassing the United States military in the absence of similar U.S. military operations, according to multiple military sources. I understand that the British officer firmly rejected the request.

Rogan says the British officer “firmly rejected the request.”

This show of rare tension between the U.S. and British command groups in Kabul reflects three factors.

First, it shows the obvious stress of attempting to extricate thousands of personnel under a situation of increasing terrorist threat. Elements of the Haqqani network, the Islamic State in Afghanistan, and possibly al Qaeda are now operating in proximity to Kabul airport with some degree of command separation from the Taliban.

Indeed, according to the Voice of America, the bloodthirsty, hostage-taking Haqqani network has been put in charge of security at the Kabul airport.

It also raises the prospect of al-Qaida being welcomed back to Afghanistan, they fear, which would break promises made by Taliban leaders during diplomatic talks in Qatar with U.S. officials last year, not to allow the country to again become a safe haven for foreign jihadists.

On Thursday, Abdullah Abdullah, chairman of Afghanistan’s National Reconciliation Council, a body of notables and elders involved in the Qatar talks, met with Khalil al-Rahman Haqqani and his entourage in Kabul. Abdullah later indicated publicly that Khalil al-Rahman Haqqani would be overseeing security in the Afghan capital and had provided assurances that he would “work hard to provide the right security for the citizens of Kabul.”

The Haqqani network has been allied with al-Qaeda since the 1990s and has close ties with the Taliban. Who is the Taliban trying to fool by putting them in charge of airport security? The Haqqanis have been kidnapping Americans for more than a decade.

As Rogan points out, the British have a lot more operational leeway in Afghanistan than our troops.

I understand that the SAS has conducted operations to bring American citizens, as well as British citizens and at-risk personnel, through checkpoints and to the airport. This is not an indictment on U.S. capabilities or special operations intent, but rather, it’s a reflection of political-military authorities. In part, this difference is understandable. Large-scale U.S. military operations beyond the Kabul airport perimeter would entail significant risk absent prior Taliban approval. But there is a sense, at least by allies, that the U.S. military could be doing more to leverage the Taliban into providing greater ease of access to the airport for those most at risk.

That’s one way of addressing the situation; have Americans lay low and wait for the situation to stabilize while directing the military to leave as small a footprint as possible so as not to attract attention to the U.S. presence.

Ordinarily, that would be a sound strategy — no need to antagonize enemies holding knives at the throats of your people.

But there’s nothing “ordinary” about the Taliban, Haqqani network, or al-Qaeda. If they believe that Biden won’t retaliate if they begin kidnapping and/or executing Americans, they will do it.

Forbearance is a virtue but weakness can be deadly. Let’s hope the Taliban have a lot of the former and Biden doesn’t have much of the latter.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Says She’ll Submit Impeachment Documents Against Biden

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she will submit articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden on Friday.

The Georgia Republican's announcement came Thursday during an event with Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., in Iowa. A video of her comments was tweeted by RSBN.

"Yes I do have articles of impeachment drawn up to submit tomorrow," a smiling Greene told a cheering crowd. "Because I believe in firing people when they’re corrupt, and they do a bad job. And Joe Biden is failing America and he needs to be impeached."

Greene had previously announced she had filed articles of impeachment against Biden one day after he was sworn into office.

At the time, Greene had said she was citing in the impeachment papers Biden abusing his power while vice president by allowing his son, Hunter, to serve on the board of a Ukrainian energy company.

"President Joe Biden is unfit to hold the office of the presidency," Green had said. "His pattern of abuse of power as President (Barack) Obama's vice president is lengthy and disturbing. President Biden has demonstrated that he will do whatever it takes to bail out his son, Hunter, and line his family's pockets with cash from corrupt foreign energy companies."

Newsweek noted her latest comments come as Biden faces criticism over how the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan is being handled.

Greene has harshly criticized Biden over Americans who have been unable to leave Afghanistan, Newsweek reported.

In February, members of the House voted 230-199, with 11 Republicans siding with the Democrats, to remove Greene from the Education and Labor and Budget committees over comments she made on social media supporting QAnon theories in 2018.

Greene has called the move "hypocritical" to kick her off the committees over her comments on social media.
