BRUTALITY: Harrowing Images Show Barbaric Taliban Imposing Islamic Law

Islamic rule. Or as Biden clown show says, “inclusive.”

Democrat say, “Respect it, islamophobes!”

Watch the Biden clown show:

‘Taliban is coming’ Crying Afghan woman pleads for help from US troops

Distressing images show the barbaric reality in Afghanistan after the Taliban seized control of the country, with women and children covered in blood and militants patrolling streets with rocket launchers — all despite the Taliban’s promise of a more peaceful regime.

Shocking scenes captured across Afghanistan on Tuesday — the day the Taliban’s longtime spokesman promised peace and an “inclusive, Islamic government” — showed militant mobs instead firing high-powered weapons in the air and randomly beating passersby.

Video footage shared on social media also shows groups of people being corralled by armed groups, some carrying what appear to be rocket launchers while others patrol on rooftops.

In one image taken by the Los Angeles Times, a woman is seen apparently unconscious on the ground near Kabul Airport with blood over her head and hands, while a young boy is carried with his hair completely soaked in blood.

The child was completely limp, with his eyes rolling back in his head, the paper’s photojournalist, Marcus Yam, recalled.

Taliban Declares Girls Above 15 To be ‘Gifted To Fighters As Wives’

/in , , , , , /by

The Taliban has issued a letter asking parents to “gift their daughters” as wives to its terrorists. Women have been told not to leave their homes alone. Men are being told to grow their beards.

Feminists are hiding behind their #metto hashtags.

This was in July. So we knew.

Joe Biden’s Litany of Lies

/in , , , , /by

After hiding out in his basement for four days, Joe Biden (I refuse to call him “President”), on Monday finally addressed his man-caused disaster unfolding in Afghanistan. That entire presentation was a mind-boggling litany of bald-faced lies and misdirections. We’ll go through each statement.

Lie #1. Biden claimed his hands were tied because of the agreements President Trump made with the Taliban.

Of course blaming Trump was the predictable first step, but why were his hands tied? He reversed every other Trump policy. What stopped him here? Furthermore, he mischaracterized the deal Trump made. It was contingent upon the Taliban keeping their word, and did not envision abandoning Afghanistan altogether as Biden has done. It meant continuing to provide air support and intelligence, and certainly not abandoning Bagram airfield or allowing the Taliban to seize military hardware.

Biden ignored all military advice in taking the rash, unprecedented action of ordering our military out in the middle of the night. This was not a withdrawal, it was abandonment—a complete abdication of responsibility that is leading to a massive humanitarian crisis.

Lie #2. This was his biggest lie. He said that he didn’t want to send more of our men-at-arms into harm’s way to die in a war already 20 years old.

No one asked him to.

Biden said this to misdirect our attention away from this calamitous outcome by tugging at our heart strings. We all wanted to see an end to the squandering of precious lives and resources in this war that seemed to go nowhere. However, over the past year, no American lives have been lost in combat. Since 2014, there have been a total of 92 U.S. combat casualties.

He sounded sickeningly self-righteous in pronouncing his determination to stay out of Afghanistan to avoid further U.S. casualties. Yet now he is sending 7,000 troops back into Afghanistan to rescue Americans and some Afghans (certainly not all who probably need it) from the disaster he created. This is over three times the number of Americans in Afghanistan before our withdrawal last month. And this is primarily to minimize the horrible optics for Biden and the Democrats. It seems obvious they couldn’t care less about anything else.

It only became necessary because we abandoned Bagram airport in the middle of the night, at the last moment, without even warning the Afghan commander. What responsible leader would ever do such a thing?

And will those Afghans they rescue be vetted by the utterly corrupt DHS? The Special Immigrant Visa program, designed for Iraqis and Afghanis who assisted us in war, is absolutely mired in fraud. Likely we will get some jihadis in the mix. We have before.

Lie #3. Biden said that the Afghan military was unwilling to fight and sacrifice for its own country.

The Afghan army had taken over the fighting entirely. We only supported them with intelligence and air power. While we have lost over 3,200 lives in this war, the Afghan military has lost over 66,000, along with 47,000 civilians. It is a literal slap in the face for the President of the United States to make such an insulting and utterly false claim. There were problems within the Afghan military, of that there is little doubt, but it defies belief that anyone would say they haven’t sacrificed or weren’t willing to fight. And now they stand to suffer even more.

The Taliban are reportedly going door-to-door seeking people who worked for us or our allies in any capacity. They are shooting people in the streets. The freedom many Afghans enjoyed because of the changes we made in their country over the past 20 years will now have that taken from them.

Lie #4. This was a lie by omission. Biden never mentioned why he decided to abandon Afghanistan in the middle of the night. He fled the room as soon as his little speech was over, denying media the opportunity to ask that important question.

Worse, the Taliban have captured tons of war-making supplies and equipment, including humvees, armed mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicles (MRAPs) helicopters, drones, weapons, ammunition and other materiel worth $83 billion. Overnight the Taliban have become the best-equipped terrorist group in the world.

This catastrophe is so bad and was so avoidable, it is difficult to believe it was a mistake. Joe Biden, the Democrats and their allies in Antifa, Black Lives Matter and other Marxist organizations have been deliberately attempting to deconstruct every aspect of our society that made us great and keeps us stable and prosperous. I explain this strategy in full in the best-selling book, Who Was Karl Marx, the Men the Motives and the Menace Behind Today’s Rampaging American Left.

We should not be surprised by any of this. Joe Biden is a pathological liar. In the past he has claimed:

  • He was the only one in his class to go to law school on a full scholarship
  • He ended up in the top half of his class
  • He was the outstanding student in his political science class
  • He graduated with three degrees, earning 165 credits when he only needed 123

All lies.

  • He had a 1/2 scholarship
  • He ended up near the bottom of his class: 76 in a class of 85 at his law school
  • He was not the outstanding political science student
  • He graduated with only one degree, and barely at that

In speeches he has plagiarized British Labor Leader Neil Kinnock, Bobby Kennedy, JFK and Hubert Humphrey.

He also cheated in law school, plagiarizing others’ work. When cornered about it, he said, “I’ve done some dumb things, and I’ll do dumb things again.”

Yes, and now we are paying for it.

This latest action was taken to assure America lost this war in the most humiliating and demoralizing way possible. President Obama did the same thing in Iraq, though he was not as blatant. This is part and parcel of everything we see the Democrat Party doing in America today. It is a strategy to overwhelm our society with problems, regret, anxiety and grief. A society so stricken is weak and vulnerable.

Joe Biden was almost certainly taking his orders from Communist China. His entire family’s scandal-ridden relationship with China puts Biden under their control. He is not on our side! China and the Russians have had their eyes on Afghanistan for decades, and now, by recognizing the Taliban as the legitimate leaders of Afghanistan, China has shown its hand.

A Taliban-led Afghanistan could also become a nuclear power if Pakistan decides to do more to help them. Pakistan, our ‘ally,” betrayed us at every turn, trained many of the Taliban in Pakistani madrassas, and provided safe haven, aid and comfort to our enemy.

Joe Biden did make one true statement, although he meant it to make himself look good, not to take responsibility. He owns every parcel of this disaster.

PODCAST: Biden Fiddled While America Burned

/in , , , , /by

Two more significant snafus emerged from the Biden administration last week: begging to OPEC for gasoline, and the fall of Afghanistan. Both events have shaken the credibility of the administration in the eyes of not just the Republicans, but of the Democrats as well. It is like when the country heard the legendary call from Apollo 13, “Houston, we’ve had a problem here.” Americans saw it the same way this past week, which has shaken our confidence in the president and the country overall.

First came President Biden’s call to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to increase production in order to offset spiraling inflation in the United States. OPEC refused as they saw no reason to increase more oil than what they currently produce.

In response to the president’s call, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, along with notable oil producers from his state, claimed Texas was ready and able to increase production provided the Biden administration “just stay out of the way,” meaning lifting the operating burdens imposed by the president.

Keep in mind, these regulations were implemented as an attempt to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels and polluting our environment. This means the Biden administration believes the Middle East can do a more responsible job in this regard. Huh? Their policy also means he would rather take jobs away from Americans and transfer them to the OPEC countries. I guess the Biden administration wants the energy resources, but doesn’t want to get their hands dirty.

Over the last few years, we finally achieved energy independence and was actually selling gas and oil to other countries, but this all came to a screeching halt this year. By being independent, it was no longer necessary to become immersed in Middle Eastern entanglements as policemen, thereby saving American lives. By forcing Mid-East states to cooperate as opposed to depending on the United States also encourages peace treaties, such as those between Israel, the UAE, Bahrain, and the Sudan. Imagine; peace in the Middle East. Who-da-thunk-it.

Next we come to the fall of Afghanistan, which seemed to crumble at warp speed before our eyes, making the fall of Viet Nam look like an orderly fire drill. I have veteran friends who feel disgraced by how the president handled the collapse. The scenes of people trying to flee the Kabul capital at the airport was reminiscent of the opening scene from the movie “Lost Horizon.”

By abandoning Afghanistan, the president has created a Jihadist state. The Taliban released ISIS and Taliban fighters from Afghan jails who will naturally join their army. More than this, Afghanistan is now the go-to place for frustrated Middle East terrorists to re-group and start again.

Because there wasn’t an exit strategy, the Taliban seized American munitions and equipment, such as a fleet of Blackhawk helicopters. They may not have anyone to fly them yet, but they can sell them to the highest bidder, such as China who would like to study their strengths and weaknesses.

The atrocities being performed by the Taliban, particularly to women and children, is offensive to everyone. Knowing this would likely happen, why wasn’t there a plan to shelter the helpless?

In hindsight, I believe nation building is wrong for third world countries like Afghanistan. These are primitive people who have lived under autocratic rule for thousands of years. They simply couldn’t handle the concept of living as a republic. No wonder the Afghan leaders fled the country.

Most likely, we will have to fight the Taliban again sometime down the road.

My veteran friends claim the fear now is that America is viewed as impotent militarily and politically. We no longer have the wherewithal to get things done. Further, such actions will encourage the Chinese to try something, such as taking over Taiwan.

The fact President Biden was resting in Camp David, while Afghanistan was savaged, did not sit well with the American people. Afterwards, when he finally spoke up, he claimed nothing was wrong and the chaos was to be expected. Even the News Media didn’t buy this one.

Between illegal immigration, oil production, and Afghanistan, we look rather silly right now. As for President Biden, his credibility is shot, along with his ability to lead. Nobody in the international community will take him seriously, including Americans, there was simply too many missed queues along the way.

As my veteran friends say, these are dark days.

Keep the Faith!

Black Lives Don’t Matter to the Teachers Unions

/in , , , , /by

These are the words of Adrian Norman, yet another member of a Black conservative movement in America that is reaching a tipping point.

Published in Newsweek last month, and available on his website, Norman argues that if the teachers unions really cared about Black students, they would support school choice. What are they afraid of? He writes:

“You’d be hard-pressed to traverse the United States and find a public school teacher who does not support the Black Lives Matter movement. Recently, many of those teachers have come under fire for classroom instruction that includes what’s colloquially being termed, “critical race theory” (CRT).

It’s easy to understand the sentiment: Educators feel a sense of duty and responsibility to discuss the effects of racism with youth during those students’ formative years in order to try to impact culture. They might even enthusiastically tell you they’re doing it because they care deeply about black lives. And those efforts are supported by teachers unions that are working to implement CRT nationwide.

Yet, as debate and controversy heat up over CRT being taught in schools, the entire issue seems moot. Because, no matter how much race-based history is added to curricula, teachers unions remain stalwart opponents of the one concrete policy initiative that would all but guarantee greater success for black students: school choice.

We have data from around the country demonstrating the advancement made by black students when their parents are able to send them to schools of their choice.”

Black conservatives, as evidenced by the 60 individuals we’ve compiled profiles for in Winston84’s directory, are a diverse group ideologically and in their backgrounds and circumstances. Some, like Adrian Norman, are public intellectuals with access to national platforms like Newsweek to promote their message. Others, like the comedic Hodge Twins, remain alive and well on social media despite shadow bans and threats of deplatforming.

Across America, conservatives of color are becoming too numerous and too assertive to ignore. Ironically, it was Trump populism that aroused and enthused this movement. Trump’s supposed racism, an accusation without an basis in fact, did not scare away, but rather attracted both long-time conservatives of color, along with countless newcomers. This breakthrough cannot be stopped, and has just begun to be felt in American politics.

Our Military Leaders Are Traitors With Ribbons On Their Chest And Stars On Their Shoulders.

/in , , , , /by

Afghanistan: Missing In Action — The World is Laughing At Us. 

My elder cousin, BG John C. “Doc” Bahnsen, Jr. (ret.), is one of the Vietnam War’s most decorated combat officers—Distinguished Service Cross, Silver Star (5), Distinguished Flying Cross (4), Legion of Merit (3), Bronze Star (4), Air Medal (51) and Vietnam Cross of Gallantry.

A USMA classmate of Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf and 2016 recipient of West Point’s Distinguished Graduate Award, my cousin sent the following message in early 2017 to his family e-group recommending an article titled The U.S. Military’s Dangerous Embedded Assumptions:

Our nation is not ready to go to war.

This is a fair assessment of where we are today.

Fight fiercely,

JCB

Another sobering article about the weakened state of combat readiness was written by Admiral James A. “Ace” Lyons (ret.), former Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet and former Deputy Chief of Naval Operations. In The Need for Accountability, Adm. Lyons described the tremendous harm done to America’s combat readiness during the two-term presidency of Barack Obama.

Adm. Lyons’ views matched those of one of his most notable protégés, Cmdr. Richard “Demo Dick” Marcinko (ret.), founder and first commanding officer of SEAL Team Six. In response to my email inquiry shortly after President Trump took office, Marcinko told me the military had been so badly degraded that he doubted America had the ability to bring a conventional war with North Korea to a decisive conclusion.

When Michelle Obama said she would never forgive President Trump for questioning her husband’s birthplace, Trump replied that he would never forgive her husband for what he did to the military. Trump’s assessment of the damage his predecessor did to the military was spot-on. A jaw-dropping 2018 report by the bi-partisan National Defense Strategy Commission (NDSC) found that due to the atrophied condition of its armed forces, America could struggle to win–or could lose!—a war against Russia or China.

According to the NDSC report, if America went to war against Russia or China, its sons and daughters in uniform would likely suffer catastrophic losses, and its armed forces would be at risk of being overwhelmed if forced to fight two wars simultaneously.

The military exists to fight and win wars, with its senior commanders responsible for ensuring their respective branch is fully prepared to pull its weight in carrying out that foremost national imperative.  While Obama packed the Pentagon with progressive activists more committed to “social justice” than combat readiness, America’s highest-ranking generals and admirals offered no pushback, perhaps in fear of being called racist and seeing their career abruptly end.

In deciding whose career would flourish and whose wouldn’t, Obama had military promotion boards select officers willing to aggressively support his stated intent to “fundamentally transform the United States of America.” Military commanders quickly realized that for their career to flourish, they must enthusiastically embrace Obama’s plan for America’s armed forces: full bore indoctrination in critical race theory, white privilege, Project 1619, political correctness, identify politics, toxic masculinity, transgenderism, cancel culture, wokeness and other neo-Marxist victim vs. oppressor political constructs.

For the first time ever, many of America’s highest-ranking military commanders have become willing political pawns who actively promote an ideology that is anti-American in the most deeply troubling meaning of the term. In doing so, they have betrayed the oath they took to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Before Obama was elected, the foremost enemy of our constitutional system was understood by both political parties to be communism. Such is no longer the case, as one of those parties has defected to the side of the hammer and sickle. By joining forces with that party, many of our nation’s admirals and generals have capitulated to enhance career advancement and land lucrative gigs with woke defense contractors in retirement. Collectively, these high-ranking commanders have turned themselves into traitors with ribbons on their chest and stars on their shoulders.

Some of what’s happening in Biden’s thoroughly woke military:

  • The hyper-politicized Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Mark Milley, refused to condemn critical race theory and compared supporters of President Trump to Nazis. 
  • Woke Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Michael Gilday refused to remove anti-American books from Fleet reading recommendations.
  • Tasked with purging Trump supporters from the military, race arsonist Benjamin Garrison, senior adviser to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, said in a 2019 tweet, “Trump is a racist and support for him is support for ALL his beliefs.”
  • Currying ideological favor with woke defense contractors can pay off big-time for retired generals and admirals. During his first four years of retirement, 4-star Gen. Lloyd Austin, the current Secretary of Defense, raked in $7 million as a board member of woke corporations, including America’s #2 defense contractor, Raytheon Technologies, which instructed its white employees to “deconstruct your whiteness.”
  • In May, the commanding officer of the 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado was fired by a woke lieutenant general for speaking out against Marxist indoctrination in the military.
  • Woke Air Force Academy Superintendent Lt Gen Richard Clark refused to publicly discuss Marxist indoctrination of the Corps of Cadets.
  • The Air Force Academy launched a “Transgender Working Group” in compliance with a May 2017 Pentagon directive. Biden is doubling down on Obama’s attempt to put an effeminate stamp on the U.S. military. Russia and China do not use their armed forces for social experimentation—their single-minded focus is WINNING WARS. Check out the two U.S. military officers in Military Recruiting Ads: Russia vs. U.S. and you’ll see why America’s military is seen by its most potent adversaries as a laughing stock.
  • While woke Pentagon officials were focused on transgenderism, toxic masculinity, critical race theory and other neo-Marxist political themes, the U.S. military “failed miserably” at classified war games against China, according to Joint Chiefs Vice Chair Gen. John E. Hyten.
  • A combat veteran of the war in Iraq, Fox News host Pete Hegseth recently discussed the purge that’s occurring in all branches of the U.S. military, an all-out effort by the Biden Pentagon to implement left-wing political purity within the ranks – WATCH. Purging the military of service members who oppose the political party in power is what Hitler and Stalin did in the 1930s, and what China, Cuba and North Korea are doing today.
  • In a March 21 segment of his top-rated cable news show, Tucker Carlson cited multiple examples of the radical ideology being pushed by Biden’s woke military commanders – WATCH.

Once upon a time, nearly all Americans had deep respect for their nation’s top military commanders. That is no longer the case, as revealed in “Has the Military Lost Middle America?” by Victor Davis Hanson. Finally, a police state cannot take root without the consent of the military. Because Biden’s traitors with ribbons on their chest and stars on their shoulders have surrendered to the Marxists in our midst, ”Obama’s Police State Dream Is Coming True.”

Ayanna Pressley’s ‘Cancel Rent’ Hypocrisy, Exposed

/in , , , , , , , /by

The congresswoman’s rental income is another reminder that landlords are not all wealthy CEOs or big companies.

“Landlord” has become a dirty word in progressive politics. From the #CancelRent movement to support for the CDC’s unlawful “eviction moratorium,” prominent left-wing politicians want the government to back the “good guys,” renters, at the expense of the “bad guys,” landlords. So, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley may have some explaining to do.

The Massachusetts Democrat and #CancelRent advocate has apparently been a landlord for several years now, according to new investigative reporting. She has reportedly earned tens of thousands of dollars in rental income from a Boston property.

“Pressley’s 2020 financial disclosure, filed on Friday, disclosed between $5,000 and $15,000 in rental income from a Boston property in her husband’s name,” Fox News reports. “The property was converted into a multi-family apartment after it was purchased, according to Pressley’s disclosure.”

It’s unclear whether or not Pressley chose to “cancel” rent for her own tenants.

“Pressley’s office did not immediately return Fox News’ request for comment on whether she and her husband canceled rent for their tenants at any point in 2020,” the report continues. “She disclosed the same range of rental income – between $5,000 and $15,000 – in 2020 as she did in 2019, before the pandemic began.”

However, the moral of the story here is much broader than another instance of possible hypocrisy from big-government politicians. (There’s been no shortage of such examples during the pandemic to date). In fact, the congresswoman’s rental income is another reminder that landlords are not all wealthy CEOs or big companies.

Ayanna Pressley is not a multi-millionaire. She is not “the 1%.” In fact, she came from poverty and has an inspiring story of making it against the odds. And now, she is, most likely, somewhere in the middle or upper-middle class. But so are many other landlords, despite progressive rhetoric that paints them all as wealthy and greedy.

According to CNBC, around 14 percent of landlord households earn less than $50,000 annually. Another 15.4 percent earn $50,000-$89,000, while roughly 30 percent are in the $90,000-$200,000 range. In short, a huge portion of landlords are working or middle class.

So, government interventions into the rental market are not the benevolent interventions protecting the working class from exploitation by the rich that #cancelrent advocates claim. Canceling rent, eviction moratoriums, and similar policies are arbitrary and unfair measures that make some working class people winners but others losers. Congresswoman (and landlord!) Ayanna Pressley, of all people, should know that.

Mengele, Fauci, Zyklon B and the Poisonous Clot Shot

/in , , , , , , /by

“Fear is often false evidence appearing real.”  – Nick Vujicic, a man born without limbs

“A government is like fire, a handy servant, but a dangerous master.” –  George Washington

“If we do a really great job on new vaccines and… reproductive health services, (i.e., abortion) we could lower the world population by perhaps 10% or 15%.” –  Bill Gates

“The United Nation’s goal is to reduce population selectively by encouraging abortion, forced sterilization, and control of human reproduction, and regards two-thirds of the human population as baggage, with 350,000 people to be eliminated per day.” –  Jacques Cousteau, UNESCO Courier, Nov. 1991

“A total world population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal.” –  Ted Turner, former husband of American traitor Jane Fonda

Is the power of humanity greater than the authoritarian evil thrust upon us for nearly two years?  This country had a watershed event in 1860 that destroyed states’ rights and gave us an all-powerful centralized federal government.  Revisionist history and propaganda are spoon fed to our children via government education and mainstream media camouflaged with a façade of truth, but concealing a core of subversion, fraud and devilish deceit.

Marxist Slavery

Total slavery is planned for all people…red and yellow, black and white, worldwide, many are living under massive government surveillance now, including Americans. Fear has controlled populations with masks, lockdowns, experimental jabs and totalitarian dictatorial powers deciding the very future of humanity.  Marxism is here although today’s youth unwittingly embrace it.

Simply put, if you’re an American, freedom is fleeing.  Fascism is the collusion between government and corporations.  Communism is the control of production which means future shortages of toilet paper and empty grocery shelves much like those in Marxist-run Venezuela and Cuba. Communist refugees who would cry with joy when seeing loaded shelves in American groceries, will soon recognize what they left has also immigrated.

“When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing – When you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors – When you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you – When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice – You may know that your society is doomed.” Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged 1957

And we, the masses, are those who will lose our property, our livelihoods, and ultimately be starved to death by demonic masters. Over 40% of the middleclass lost their businesses and incomes in 2020, and this was only the beginning of middleclass elimination.

Who will state the truth?  True leaders are silent. Few radio or TV hosts ever speak the entire truth of what we’re facing…talk is cheap…we need action.  The meetings, the councils, the videos, and the articles continue exposing the rot, but no one has drawn the sword of righteousness to expose the demonic entities who wish our demise.  No one tells the core of the evil which has overtaken America. It’s Fascism and communism combined.

Smaller European nations are in revolt, and are being crucified for speaking truth.  Where are Americans?  Where is truth?  Where is the spirit of liberty, that liberty our founders fought for during the Revolutionary War…that liberty that loosed the chains of control?  Where are we?  Is anyone awake?

Many believe Covid started the downward spiral of America’s freedoms, but America’s demise started nearly two centuries ago and demonic doctrine has slowly inculcated every facet of our society from the founding of this nation.  Marxist doctrine has been minutely and secretly inserted into our nation’s laws by representatives who give no credence to our founders written desires for free men to elect servants of the people. They disobey their oaths of office from the minute they’re sworn into office on the Bible, and now sworn in on the shariah encoded Koran.

Evil slithers into every entity, companies, institutions, associations, governments and  pulpits to destroy freedom, liberty and life, evidenced by all the woke corporations and organizations. Baby boomers have seen it all and their ancestors, the greatest generation, are all but gone.  Now we fight for our lives and the lives of our descendants against the purposeful agenda of depopulation via medical nihilism and malfeasance.

Debunking the Fraudulent Medical Consensus

The Nazis had a saying, “für ihre Sicherheit.”  It means, “for their safety” or “for your safety.”  How many times have we heard that masks, social distancing, and lockdowns are “for your safety?” The mRNA “vaccines” by Pfizer and Moderna are the new Zyklon-B of Nazi Germany’s extermination camps, but this time it comes in a needle, a needle that rapes you of your life.  Interesting that Pfizer apparently doesn’t mandate the jab for their own employees.

And the repeated and disgusting slogan, “We’re in this together.”  Like hell we are!  How many politicians died of Covid?  How many of the elite lost their livelihoods?  How many suicides?  And how many gave up ever trying again?

Anthony Fauci is today’s Dr. Joseph Mengele along with his assistant Bill Gates and friends. He is the master of confusion and that is part of the PSYOPS.  Thirteen million were murdered by the National Socialists of Germany, millions upon millions more will die from the experimental injection of death. Today’s genocide is worldwide and a massive extermination of humanity.  I.G. Farben created Zyklon-B for Nazi Germany, used to gas millions to death. Now Fauci, Gates and the rest of the medical hierarchy are thrilled with their new “investigational” jabs.

Letting thousands die, first by the lies spread against cheap and safe decades-old lifesaving medications, hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin, and then by killing off and maiming hundreds of thousands more with their “warp speed” messenger RNA vaccines. It’s not enough that seven million babies have been murdered in their mother’s wombs, the holocaust continues against all humanity.

The many physicians, scientists and attorneys who are speaking the truth face censorship, character assassination, loss of grants, board positions and licenses. This is part and parcel of the evil overriding the truth in our nation.  Our first amendment is blasphemed and destroyed by the totalitarians who’ve controlled our livelihoods for nearly two years, and those who continue to wield their authoritarian power

Medical Heroes

Imagine a vaccine so safe that the government has to coerce you to take it… for a virus that 99.75% recover from but is so deadly that you have to be tested to find out if you have it. A genuine pandemic doesn’t require 24/7 advertising to remind you that it exists.  Real pandemics don’t need marketing campaigns and endless propaganda, but psychological operations do!  Yes, it’s a PSYOP!

Dr. Vladimir Zelenko is interviewed on this website by Israel’s Avi Abelow.  Scroll to the second video and listen to this marvelous physician.

Dr. Zelenko tells us, “No one needs this vaccine, this is the big lie.  If this vaccine is so effective, and you already have two shots, why are the two countries with the most vaccinated in the world, Israel and St. Ellis, the ones with the most outbreaks of the virus?  The recovery risk in younger people in 99.998%.  So, anyone who has allowed their children to get ‘vaccinated’ is guilty of child abuse and potentially murder.  Israel’s leader, Bennett said that the ‘vaccine’ was going to expire and he had 25,000 children jabbed in one day, and that is the epitome of evil. My feeling is that the current Israeli government is a reincarnation of Joseph Mengele, and actually even worse.”

“If you have a demographic that has a nearly 100% recovery with no treatment, why would I put an experimental death liquid into them?  According to Dr. Michael Yeadon, director of vaccine development for Pfizer, he says for every one child who would die from Covid, which is one in a million, 50 will die from the ‘vaccine.’  Someone who has had Covid, has now recovered and has antibodies, they are a million times more effective in protecting you than artificially produced ‘vaccine’ induced antibodies.  As for the high-risk group, if you treat people early, with the onset of symptoms within the first few days, you can reduce their death and hospitalization rate by 85%.”

But the FDA, CDC, and NIH promoted the false Lancet report on Hydroxychlorquine and Ivermectin.  Thousands of our beloved parents and grandparents could have been saved, but were allowed to die and die alone.

Dr. Ryan Cole’s 17-minute speech at the White Coat Summit is a must listen.  He’s a Mayo Clinic certified anatomic and clinical pathologist and more.  He asks, “If we have billions to advertise a clot shot to children who don’t need it, Dr. Fauci, where’s the funding for science?” He goes on to explain that the spike protein is the toxin and asks why we are injecting into the body that which is the toxin that will cause the same illnesses and disease and death in humans that it caused in animals.  He shows countless slides of cells before and after the clot shot and tells us this is a poisonous attack on our population and it needs to stop now!  He warns that those who recovered from Covid and then received the jab are in serious trouble.

Another doctor stepped up to tell an Indiana school board how absolutely ignorant they were by demanding school children wear masks.

Dr. Daniel Stock gave a six-minute speech to the Mt. Vernon, Indiana school board, telling the truth about mask mandates and what is being done to our children.

Health Care Workers

Miguel Escobar spoke to the Edinburg, Texas school board meeting.  He is a Physician Assistant and has worked in healthcare for over 15 years.  He spends only 13 minutes explaining the facts to the board.  We cannot see them, but we do see the people behind him on their cell phones when this man expounds on what is really happening.  Please watch the video.  I applaud him!

Abrien Aguirre, a board-certified occupational therapist in Hawaii tells what is happening in nursing facilities.  He has worked in three Covid facilities in Oahu.  He was interviewed at an outside protest at the Hawaii State Capitol in Honolulu by a group known as “Hawaii Free Speech News.”  His elderly patients are dying at rates much higher after the jab than with Covid. Yes, bumping off the pensioners saves money for the state.  The ten-minute video can be seen here.

Attorney Reiner Fuellmich

In this 10-minute video, attorney Reiner Fuellmich tells us the World Health Organization (WHO) has now declared that the Covid virus is no more dangerous than the common flu.  This is a far cry from their early 2020 forecast by WHO and Dr. Fauci of two million dead Americans. When this news was delivered to President Trump, Fauci urged the shutdown of our massive economy ultimately destroying 40% of small businesses resulting in suicides, drug overdoses, abuse and bankruptcy.

The Dresden PCR test which was declared by the WHO under control of Bill Gates and the Chinese as the gold standard in detecting infections is an outrageous fraud.  The PCR test set at 45 cycles was set to show 100% false positives as Corona cases.  These false tests were the basis for a public health concern that shut down economies worldwide.  The acronym for Public Health Emergency of International Concern is PHEIC, pronounced FAKE.

Reiner Fuellmich goes on to explain that this PHEIC was needed by the global alliance of pharmaceutical and tech industries in order to achieve the goal of so-called “vaccinations.”  This was their true stated intention from the beginning.  The entire distancing, masking and lockdowns were illusionary in order to insure panic for their psychological operations. Fuellmich states that despite the lies of the globalists and the difficulty in reporting to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS), it is estimated that 500,000 Americans have already died of the Covid jabs…and more are coming their way.

Targeting the Standalones

The Chinese and Russians are not giving their own people these inoculations.    Our military has been forced into these jabs and as of a month ago, only 20 died in all of 2020 from C-19, but now 80 have heart problems from the jab.  Wonder why? To weaken us for a takeover.

A phenomenon called “othering” is used in propaganda and brainwashing. Othering is when a person determines that another person is unworthy, threatening, or all-around inadequate and hardly even the same species.  This is what is now happening throughout America and the world regarding those of us who choose not to accept the party line that the jabs are good for all humanity.  Many Americans have seen the deaths and adverse effects of the clot shot and believe the needle rape is another Zyklon B toxicant to destroy not only the elderly, but a large majority of the world’s population.

Juliette Kayyem writes in the regressive Atlantic that only vaccinated people should be allowed on domestic flights.  Yeah…spread the enhanced virus all over the place, the un-jabbed don’t want anything to do with the jabbed!  Last September’s Atlantic Festival featured top speakers Fauci, Hillary and Staci Abrams.

Don Lemon says the un-jabbed should not be able to go to the grocery.  He’s spewing his invectives to a nation who believes it’s fine to starve people to death when they refuse a dangerous medical experiment. They believe in medical and personal privacy.  Maxine Waters taught her fellow comrades that it’s okay to get in people’s faces, to scream at them, to disrupt their dining, to make their public lives miserable.  Common decency and courtesy are verboten in today’s society.

Andy Slavitt, a former medical advisor for President Biden, believes that anyone unvaccinated should be required to be tested daily at their own expense until they finally give in.

Democrats believe Medicare (despite the fact you’ve paid into it all your life), Medicaid and health insurance should be denied to the un-jabbed.

Others want to add employment, suspension of gun and driving licenses, access to loans. Sporting events, dining out, and concerts should also require proof of vaccine. It will not be popular, but it is the only way to get people vaccinated.

Others want the un-jabbed to have all health care suspended.

Candidate Steve Cox, an independent running to represent California’s 39th Congressional District said, “We should be allowed to shoot anyone who doesn’t take COVID seriously enough.”  Leftists like Cox are common in today’s media rhetoric.

Conclusion

This is the America we’re living in today. It’s reminiscent of history that today’s children have no knowledge of, and they’ll murder billions of us and use the excuse that the un-inoculated did it when we know the perpetrators are the satanic entities that hate life, liberty and freedom.

Biden’s Afghanistan Catastrophe Increases Terror Threat in U.S.

/in , , , , /by

Biden administration, meanwhile, focuses solely on “domestic extremists”.

The twentieth anniversary of the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 is just a few weeks away.

The first step in solving a problem is to acknowledge that there is a problem.

The good news is that the Biden administration acknowledges that America faces an increased threat of terrorism, especially as the 20th anniversary of the terror attacks of 9/11 by al-Qaida approaches.

The bad news, even as the Taliban has now taken back all of Afghanistan because of the Biden administration’s abysmally failed policies, the Biden administration, incredibly, is entirely focused on the threats posed by domestic terrorists and extremists.  

Biden utterly ignores the failures of the immigration system that continue to undermine national security and public safety in this especially dangerous era.

On August 13, 2021 the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a press release titled, DHS Issues New National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin.

The focus of the press release, and as you will see, the NTAS Bulletin was Domestic Terrorism without a single reference to possible entry of foreign terrorists into the United States even as it addressed the elevated threats posed by various terror groups as the 20th anniversary of the terror attacks of 9/11 is nearly upon us.

In fact, the above-noted press release included this excerpt:

Under the Biden-Harris Administration, DHS has increased the development, production, and dissemination of intelligence and other actionable information central to countering threats in the current environment.  DHS has established a new, dedicated domestic terrorism branch within the Department’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A).  Further, DHS has established the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3) to help build local prevention frameworks to provide communities with the tools they need to counter terrorism and other targeted violence.

In February, Secretary Mayorkas designated combating domestic violent extremism as a National Priority Area for the first time in FEMA grant programs. As a result, state, local, tribal, and territorial governments are required to spend at least 7.5 percent, or a minimum of $77 million, of their DHS grant awards toward combating this threat.

These initiatives are taken in concert with the Biden-Harris Administration’s National Domestic Terrorism Strategy which highlights the whole-of-government approach being take to enhance the analysis and distribution of actionable intelligence to stakeholders; prevent domestic terrorism recruitment and the mobilization to violence; disrupt and deter domestic terrorism activity; and confront long-term contributors to domestic terrorism.

The National Terrorism Advisory Bulletin referred to above begins with this summary:

Summary of Terrorism Threat to the U.S. Homeland

The Secretary of Homeland Security has issued a new National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin regarding the current heightened threat environment across the United States.  The Homeland continues to face a diverse and challenging threat environment leading up to and following the 20th Anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks as well religious holidays we assess could serve as a catalyst for acts of targeted violence. These threats include those posed by domestic terrorists, individuals and groups engaged in grievance-based violence, and those inspired or motivated by foreign terrorists and other malign foreign influences. These actors are increasingly exploiting online forums to influence and spread violent extremist narratives and promote violent activity. Such threats are also exacerbated by impacts of the ongoing global pandemic, including grievances over public health safety measures and perceived government restrictions.

This bulletin articulated concerns about domestic extremists and their numerous possible motivations.  When the bulletin did mention foreign terrorist organizations, the concern was limited as to how those terror groups could motivate domestic terrorists,  presumably Americans, via the internet.

Consider these two excerpts:

Additionally, leading up to the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Al-Qa’ida in the Arabian Peninsula recently released its first English-language copy of Inspire magazine in over four years, which demonstrates that foreign terrorist organizations continue efforts to inspire U.S.-based individuals susceptible to violent extremist influences.

Foreign and domestic threat actors, to include foreign intelligence services, international terrorist groups and domestic violent extremists, continue to introduce, amplify, and disseminate narratives online that promote violence, and have called for violence against elected officials, political representatives, government facilities, law enforcement, religious communities or commercial facilities, and perceived ideologically-opposed individuals. There are also continued, non-specific calls for violence on multiple online platforms associated with DVE ideologies or conspiracy theories on perceived election fraud and alleged reinstatement, and responses to anticipated restrictions relating to the increasing COVID cases.

There was not a single word in the two DHS documents cited above, about concerns that foreign terrorists would seek to enter the United States to carry out terror attacks even as the Taliban was rampaging across Afghanistan, the country that provided safe havens for al-Qaida and other terror organizations before the attacks of 9/11 which prompted American military action in that country to help prevent future terror attacks against the United States.

Now even the Mainstream Media is alarmed over the loss of Afghanistan to the Taliban as  direct result of the abrupt way that the Biden administration essentially turned tail and fled from that dangerous country, even leaving the U.S. Embassy staff in harm’s way, ordering them to “Shelter in place” as the Taliban captured city after city, including Kabul.

On August 15, 2021 Newsweek reported, Clip of Biden Saying People Won’t Be Lifted Off Embassy Roof in Afghanistan Resurfaces as Just That Happens while on that very same day AOL posted the Associated Press report, Concerns over U.S. terror threats rising as Taliban hold grows.

The first paragraph of the preface of the official report, 9/11 and  Terrorist Travel – Staff Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States” states: 

It is perhaps obvious to state that terrorists cannot plan and carry out attacks in the United States if they are unable to enter the country. Yet prior to September 11, while there were efforts to enhance border security, no agency of the U.S. government thought of border security as a tool in the counterterrorism arsenal. Indeed, even after 19 hijackers demonstrated the relative ease of obtaining a U.S. visa and gaining admission into the United States, border security still is not considered a cornerstone of national security policy. We believe, for reasons we discuss in the following pages, that it must be made one.

Page 47 contained this excerpt:

Once terrorists had entered the United States, their next challenge was to find a way to remain here. Their primary method was immigration fraud. For example, Yousef and Ajaj concocted bogus political asylum stories when they arrived in the United States. Mahmoud Abouhalima, involved in both the World Trade Center and landmarks plots, received temporary residence under the Seasonal Agricultural Workers (SAW) program, after falsely claiming that he picked beans in Florida.” Mohammed Salameh, who rented the truck used in the bombing, overstayed his tourist visa. He then applied for permanent residency under the agricultural workers program, but was rejected. Eyad Mahmoud Ismail, who drove the van containing the bomb, took English-language classes at Wichita State University in Kansas on a student visa; after he dropped out, he remained in the United States out of status.

Page 61 contained this passage:

Exploring the Link between Human Smugglers and Terrorists 

In July 2001, the CIA warned of a possible link between human smugglers and terrorist groups, including Hamas, Hezbollah, and Egyptian Islamic Jihad.   Indeed, there is evidence to suggest that since 1999 human smugglers have facilitated the travel of terrorists associated with more than a dozen extremist groups.  With their global reach and connections to fraudulent document vendors and corrupt government officials, human smugglers clearly have the “credentials” necessary to aid terrorist travel.

The only conclusion I can come to is that inasmuch as the Biden administration is determined to ramp up the “Immigration Delivery System” as I have come to refer to the administration’s malfeasant immigration policies, there can be no acknowledgment that terror attacks from foreign terror organizations depends on multiple failures of the immigration system.

One of my earlier articles, Jihad At The Border, explained how the border crisis facilitates the entry of terrorists.

Given all of the foregoing facts I have provided today, my earlier article was all too prescient:  Biden Ends War On Radical Islamist Terrorists ‘Over Here’ and ‘Over There’.

VIDEO: The ‘Progressive’ Squad Remains Silent on Women And Girls Being Persecuted in Afghanistan

/in , , , , , , /by

This past May, the anti-Semitic Squad vilified and defamed Israel for defending itself against Hamas. They falsely accused Israel of targeting Palestinian civilians including children. However, as women and girls are being murdered, raped, and subjugated by the Taliban in Afghanistan, the Squad is predictably silent. Shame on the mainstream media for not exposing this blatant hypocrisy and anti-Semitism. Watch below.

Deafening Progressive Silence Exposes Reality

By Times of Israel, August 17, 2021

In a day and age where every social cause stirs intense emotion, it is quite curious that Afghanistan fails to rally the people to action. Representative Omar is known for dabbling in anti-Semitic tropes, warning people about the dangers of Israel and the influence of Jewish money. Representative Rashida Tlaib frequently makes hysterical, grandstanding speeches condemning Israel as being ‘racist’, wrenching her garments in the name of Palestine. And how can we forget Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has become a pop sensation over her antics and her unwavering support for her fellow ‘Squad’ members? And yet as Afghanistan falls to an utterly monstrous regime, these perpetual bleeding hearts remain silent. Why?

Many Progressives bend over backwards to try to shield these politicians from justified criticism. They scream sexism, Islamophobia, or racism as a means of deflecting attention away from their bombastic statements. We are told that we read too much into their bile, that they only care about humanity, and that we should focus on the issues. They uphold the Palestinian cause as a singular human rights catastrophe unparalleled in the world today. But these politicians and their ilk are quite selective in their umbrage, and their silence on what is happening in Afghanistan exposes them for the hypocrites they are. When these members of Congress lambast and slander Israel up and down the aisles in perpetuity, claiming to stand for dignity and humanity, they sit back silently as the people of Afghanistan fall into the clutches of a terrorist regime.

How many times have Representatives Omar and Tlaib howled against Israel? How many times have venomous slander flowed from their lips? How many times have their supporters rallied in the streets to condemn Israel? While all this happens, we are told that they only care about justice. We are told that they aren’t anti-Semitic or anti-Israel, just pro-human rights. The silence of these politicians and their apologists show that this talking point is an utter lie. They do not care about human rights, for if they did they would be horrified by what is happening in Afghanistan. They do not care about the rights and dignity of Muslims, for if they did they’d fight against the looming catastrophe that is falling upon the Afghan nation. Just as they ignore the plight of the Uyghurs in Chinese ‘re-education camps’, so too they now ignore the people of Afghanistan. Why? Because they don’t truly care about dignity, liberty, or justice. If they did they would equally care about the Muslims in Afghanistan and East Turkistan. No, their obsessive singular focus on the Palestine issue and their ignoring of far worse calamites show that they simply care about bashing Israel and condemning the only Jewish State in the world.

The next time Representatives Omar, Tlaib or Ocasio-Cortez take to the podium to indulge their sycophants with their childish tantrums, the sensible among us must turn the other way and tune them out. They are useful mouthpieces for anti-Semites and Israel haters, nothing more. Those that care about human rights should not listen to these demagogues, for their hypocrisy is now laid bare.

As Afghanistan falls, so too the masks of these false Progressive prophets.

‘Calamity of Epic Proportions’: Congress Needs Probe of Biden’s Mishandling of Afghan Withdrawal

/in , , , , /by

The Democrat insurrectionists are too busy secretly torturing Americans who stood for election integrity on January 6th.

‘Calamity of Epic Proportions’ – Congress Needs Probe of Biden’s Mishandling of Afghan Withdrawal

Analysis – As President Biden’s ‘Saigon on Steroids’ crisis continues to unfold in Kabul, Afghanistan, one lawmaker is demanding a probe into Biden’s mishandling of the entire disaster, calling it a ‘calamity of epic proportions.

Rep. Peter Meijer (R-Mich.), who serves on the House Committees on Homeland Security and Foreign Affairs, told the Washington Post’s ‘Power Up’ on Sunday that Team Biden’s Afghan withdrawal planning should be the subject of congressional hearings.

Meijer also strongly questioned the administration’s intelligence reports.

According to ‘Power Up,’ Meijer, who also worked in Afghanistan as a conflict analyst, said:

I think the underestimation of how long the Afghan government would hold is an intelligence failure on the level of [GW Bush’s] Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction and [Obama] downplaying the rise of ISIS.

Beyond congressional hearings, we need to strongly look at Congress’s dependence on analytic products coming out of the executive branch. There were obviously dissenting voices and those were communicated on a one-off basis, but the reality when it comes to classified information and intelligence members of Congress have to beg for crumbs and then are overly reliant on the executive branch to provide assessments. 

Meijer added: “Those assessments, as we saw here and with ISIS and weapons of mass destruction, are colored by political expediency.”

Referring to the chaotic emergency evacuation of thousands of Americans and Afghan allies, Meijer said: “This is a calamity of epic proportions — this is not something you can spin away.”  ADN

How Joe Biden failed the people of Afghanistan — and tarnished U.S. credibility around the world

/in , , , , /by

In April 1961, just months after the young John F. Kennedy was inaugurated as the 35th president of the United States, his reputation for expertise in foreign policy took a battering as a result of the Bay of Pigs fiasco, a covert action against the Cuban government that collapsed within a matter of days.

The collapse in Afghanistan that has flowed from current President Joe Biden’s decision to proceed with a complete US troop withdrawal is more than likely to be seen as his own Bay of Pigs moment.

But it may be something worse, akin to the Suez crisis of 1956, which not only humiliated the British government of Sir Anthony Eden, but marked the end of the United Kingdom as a global power.

When historians look back at the shambolic US exit from Afghanistan, it may increasingly appear a critical marker of America’s decline in the world, far eclipsing the flight from Saigon in 1975.

The path to disaster

How did this come to pass? Afghans, turning on themselves, are already pinning the blame on now-departed President Ashraf Ghani, and Biden’s defenders are sure to join the chorus. Yet this is an oversimplification of how things unravelled.

Ghani’s domineering style, poor personnel choices, and reluctance to delegate power to others all played significant roles in the current crisis.

However, the institutional and political problems that were festering long before Ghani became president are perhaps more to blame: a seriously overcentralised state; a presidential system that placed far too much formal power in Kabul; and the development of “neopatrimonial” politics, based on patronage networks that had flourished under former President Hamid Karzai, which in turn fostered electoral fraud.

An even more significant role was played by Pakistan, the Taliban’s longstanding patron and supplier of sanctuaries, logistical support, and equipment.

But the (unintentional) green light for Pakistan’s “creeping invasion” of Afghanistan, with the Taliban as its proxy, ultimately came from Washington.

First, there was the catastrophic exit agreement signed with the Taliban on behalf of the Trump administration by the US special envoy to Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, in February 2020. The flaws of this deal were immediately obvious. Following that was Biden’s conscious choice to adhere to it.

Biden has since sought to emphasise that he inherited the agreement from Trump, but it was his decision to stick with it, and to retain its architect, Khalilzad, as his own representative. Appalling US decision-making lies at the heart of the tragedy.

What lies behind Biden’s failures?

What factors might explain Biden’s gross misjudgement? At this point, several come to mind.

A first factor, universally overlooked, is his lack of relevant experience in dealing hands-on with complex and dangerous foreign policy challenges.

Until becoming president in January 2021, Biden had never held an office with distinct executive authority. He was a longtime legislator and then vice president, and he was a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for 12 years, including several years as chairman.

But he never occupied a position where he was routinely required to make final decisions on matters of high policy with significant associated risks.

Having an interest in world affairs is not the same thing as having strong judgement or a talent for developing and implementing foreign policy. Robert Gates, a former defence secretary in both Republican and Democrat administrations, argued in his 2014 memoir that Biden had been “wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades”.

Some reports suggest Biden’s decision to follow Trump’s path was driven more by instinct and longstanding beliefs than by a methodical, cerebral appraisal of the dangers.

Biden may also have been influenced by a deep, almost visceral, suspicion of the advice of the US military, going back to his failed attempts while vice president to argue against the “surge” of US troops in Afghanistan, which President Barack Obama ultimately decided to do.

A second factor at play is likely US domestic politics. Biden and his supporters have quoted polling in support of a complete US troop withdrawal, but it is unlikely this was much of a contributor to the final decision, as Afghanistan has never generated anything like the heat in US politics that was associated with the Vietnam War.

A more likely contributor was the internal politics of the Democratic Party. Biden had endured considerable criticism from the left over his ardent support for the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Supporting an Afghanistan troop withdrawal had the potential to ameliorate some of those concerns, and to appeal to the party’s progressive wing and ideological isolationists.

How the U.S.-Taliban deal eroded confidence

The US decision also reflected a grave misunderstanding of power dynamics in Afghanistan.

As I have previously noted, mass psychology is a critical determinant of political trajectories in an environment as threatening and de-institutionalised as that in Afghanistan.

As in an avalanche, a small shift can rapidly snowball, resulting in what social scientists call “cascades”.

The collapse of the Afghan government provides a perfect example of a cascade at work. The 2020 US-Taliban deal created deep and widespread apprehension about what the future might hold. Then, it only took a few localised failures to sap the confidence of all sorts of actors, both military and civilian, in the survival of the government. Side-switching became a rational strategy, then spun out of control.

The US troop withdrawal also seems to have reflected a failure on the part of Biden – although not the US military — to appreciate how destructive the February 2020 agreement had been to the effectiveness of the Afghan military.

In requiring the withdrawal not just of US troops but US maintenance contractors, it compromised the ongoing capabilities of key assets in the inventory of the Afghan National Army, as well as depriving the army of critical air cover. As an insightful analysis put it:

in the wake of President Biden’s withdrawal decision, the US pulled its air support, intelligence and contractors servicing Afghanistan’s planes and helicopters. That meant the Afghan military simply couldn’t operate anymore.

The long-lasting damage to US credibility

It is hard to see how Biden can emerge from this disaster without his credibility shredded, but the greater loss is to the credibility of the United States, which increasingly appears a fading power internationally (as well as a failing state at home).

For no great gain, it sold out the most pro-western government and public in the region to a brutal terrorist group, all this after having long promised the Afghans that they would never be abandoned.

The implications of this abandonment stretch far beyond Afghanistan’s borders. As a group of eminent retired ambassadors has put it,

an ignominious American departure from the country would send a terrible signal to other countries as the United States competes with China and other authoritarian states. If US security guarantees are not credible, why not cut deals with China?

In May 1940, in a scathing indictment of the failures of the Chamberlain government to stand effectively by its allies, former British Prime Minister David Lloyd George observed cuttingly that “our promissory notes are now rubbish on the market”.

As a result of its failures over Afghanistan, the Biden administration is rapidly heading in a similar direction.The Conversation
