We looked the other way when our allies in Afghanistan molested boys. Pay attention as the sexual revolution seeks to enlist your children here in America. America’s 20-year misadventure in Afghanistan failed to root out bacha bazi, the Afghan custom of men molesting boys. Indeed, the practice, banned and severely punished by the Taliban, flourished during the NATO occupation, with much of the abuse meted out by U.S.-backed security forces. Our troops occasionally lashed out against those they caught molesting so-called dancing boys. But the brass insisted it was beyond America’s remit to change the Afghans’ despicable ways. Perhaps the higher-ups figured that since ...
Importing Afghanistan: A Very Stupid Idea with Very Powerful Enablers

Here’s some good news about Afghanistan. If you drew up a “Toxic Top Ten” of the worst possible places to receive migrants from, Afghanistan wouldn’t be #1. I think that honour would go to Somalia. Now some bad news about Afghanistan. It could be well #2 or #3 in the Toxic Ten. It’s #2 for rape convictions in Denmark, but Denmark doesn’t have the honour of having been enriched by importing large numbers of Pakistanis. The Western politicians, journalists and charities now enabling the “evacuation” of Afghans into the West should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity. Click for Full Text!
Blowback: Taliban Target US Intel's Shadow Army

The Kabul Airport bombing shows there are shadowy forces in Afghanistan, willing to disrupt a peaceful transition after US troops leave. But what about US intel’s own ‘shadow army,’ amassed over two decades of occupation? Who are they, and what is their agenda? So we have the CIA Director William Burns deploying in haste to Kabul to solicit an audience with Taliban leader Abdul Ghani Baradar, the new potential ruler of a former satrapy. And he literally begs him to extend a deadline on the evacuation of US assets. The answer is a resounding “no.” After all, the 31 August deadline was established by Washington itself. Extending it would only mean the extension of ...

Why the loss of Afghanistan ultimately ends the Empire BY AKRAINER SUNDAY, AUG 29, 2021 - 7:08 Former Fed Chairman Arthur Burns said that, “A subtle understanding of economic change comes from a knowledge of history and large affairs, not from statistics or their processing alone.” So far as large affairs go, the recent events in Afghanistan could hardly be any larger. On Sunday, 15 August Taliban fighters entered Kabul unopposed and Afghanistan’s president Ashraf Ghani fled the country. Two days later the acting Afghan central bank chief, Ajmal Ahmady did the same. The events took almost everyone by surprise and the foreign policy establishments in the U.S. and UK were ...

The curious U.S. military alliance with the Taliban

The U.S. government appears to have a closer relationship with the Taliban than with its Afghan and NATO allies. The military withdrew from Bagram Airfield in the dead of night “without notifying the base’s new Afghan commander who discovered the Americans’ departure more than two hours after they left.” The allies were not consulted when the US withdrew from forward military bases or withdrew from Bagram Airfield. Apparently NATO allies were not informed about the closure of the U.S. embassy. This was only revealed when "German diplomats on their way to work noticed the US had withdrawn the forces to their own embassy." The Asia Times reported that ...

Disillusioned US drone pilots leak footage of air strikes against unarmed Afghans, media says American drone pilots have leaked video of “punitive” and “nihilistic” strikes in Afghanistan in 2019 that led to the killing of civilians, including at least one child, as the US looked for an exit strategy in the two-decade war. The footage, published on Tuesday as part of an investigation by military news outlet Connecting Vets, reportedly reveals how successive US administrations and defense strategists relaxed the rules of engagement in Afghanistan – as part of a policy to pressure the Taliban to the negotiating table. However, drone operators interviewed by the ...

Firing a marine for saying that the senior leaders at the State Department and Pentagon should take responsibility for evacuating the country before evacuating the people in the country is alpha. “Oh, you think we didn’t plan this well? So how about this plan? You’re fired.” So based. RT: A lieutenant colonel in the US Marine Corps said he was relieved of duty after voicing frustration with American leaders for the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, insisting officials take responsibility for their failures. In a video posted to his Facebook account on Thursday night, Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller unloaded on the country’s military and political leaders ...
Who Profits from the Kabul Suicide Bombing?

The horrific Kabul suicide bombing introduces an extra vector in an already incandescent situation: It aims to prove, to Afghans and to the outside world, that the nascent Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is incapable of securing the capital. As it stands, at least 103 people – 90 Afghans (including at least 28 Taliban) and 13 American servicemen – were killed and at least 1,300 injured, according to the Afghan Health Ministry. Responsibility for the bombing came via a statement on the Telegram channel of Amaq Media, the official Islamic State (ISIS) news agency. This means it came from centralized ISIS command, even as the perpetrators were members of ISIS-Khorasan, or ISIS-K. ...

Say what you will about President Joe Biden, he has stuck to his guns on ending America’s 20-year involvement in Afghanistan’s forever war. His decision not to delay our departure after Aug. 31 was fortified by hard intel that the terrorist ISIS-K was preparing attacks at Kabul airport. Thursday evening, the two bomb attacks occurred. It now seems inevitable that the withdrawal will be completed by Aug. 31, with all U.S. military forces following the last civilians out. Before yesterday’s attacks, the airlift had been going far better than in its chaotic first days. Some 100,000 Americans and Afghans had gotten out of the country since Aug. 14. Biden held his ground, ...

'Forever War' Benefiting Afghans? Follow the Money

After 20 years and a staggering US$2.23 trillion spent in a “forever war” persistently spun as promoting democracy and benefiting the “Afghan people,” it’s legitimate to ask what the Empire of Chaos has to show for it. The numbers are dire. Afghanistan remains the world’s 7th poorest nation: 47% of the population lives below the poverty line, according to the Asian Development Bank. No less than 75% of the – dissolved – Kabul government’s budget was coming from international aid. According to the World Bank, that aid was responsible for the turnover of 43% of the economy – one that was mired in massive government corruption. According to ...
US troops at Kabul airport extort money from Afghans seeking evacuation: Report

The US forces stationed at Kabul’s international airport have reportedly been extorting money from Afghan nationals trying to flee the chaos in their homeland, following the collapse of Afghanistan’s military and the Taliban’s takeover of the country. Iran’s Nour News reported Tuesday that US Marines — who control sections of the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul to oversee evacuation of Americans — were demanding anything between $500 and $2000 from desperate Afghan nationals in exchange for helping them leave in special US planes. Citing Afghans who have left the country, the report said the US forces at the Kabul airport turned away those who ...

CIA Director William J. Burns held a secret meeting Monday in Kabul with the Taliban’s de facto leader, Abdul Ghani Baradar, in the highest-level face-to-face encounter between the Taliban and the Biden administration since the militants seized the Afghan capital, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive diplomacy. President Biden dispatched his top spy, a veteran of the Foreign Service and the most decorated diplomat in his Cabinet, amid a frantic effort to evacuate people from Kabul international airport in what Biden has called “one of the largest, most difficult airlifts in history.” [Biden faces ...

How about some accountability for Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Yemen? If you want to know how the United States wound up with “government by stupid” one need only look no farther than some of the recent propaganda put out by members of Congress, senior military officers and a certain former president. President George W. Bush, who started the whole sequence of events that have culminated in the disaster that is Afghanistan, is not yet in prison, but one can always hope. Regarding the current crisis, former FBI special agent and 9/11 whistleblower Coleen Rowley cited Richard W. Behan who mused over “How perverse we have become.

The Cynical Campaign To Scapegoat Joe Biden for the Afghanistan Debacle

The chaotic end to the U.S. mission in Afghanistan has produced an abundance of recriminations. Some of them are warranted, even though the dominant motive in nearly all cases is little more than crude blame shifting. Joe Biden and his foreign policy team certainly can be faulted for spectacularly mismanaging the final stage of the US troop withdrawal. The president’s comments on July 8 emphatically disputing predictions that the Taliban would quickly overrun Afghanistan did not enhance his reputation for accurate insights. It is hardly a good sight to see US helicopters conducting evacuation flights of diplomats from the American embassy in Kabul – an image all-too-reminiscent ...

What we are seeing in Afghanistan right now shouldn’t shock you. It only seems that way because our institutions are steeped in systematic dishonesty. It doesn’t require a dissertation to explain what you’re seeing. Just two sentences. One: For 20 years, politicians, elites and D.C. military leaders lied to us about Afghanistan. Two: What happened last week was inevitable, and anyone saying differently is still lying to you. I know because I was there. Twice. On special operations task forces. I learned Pashto as a U.S. Marine captain and spoke to everyone I could there: everyday people, elites, allies and yes, even the Taliban. The truth is that the Afghan National ...

VP Kamala Harris Runs Away in Middle of Crisis The job of the vice president is to support POTUS and the nation. He or she should be ready at all times to act in America’s interests and defend and uphold the Constitution. Our current VP Kamala Harris does none of that. She is a far left extremist who was picked due to her ethnicity and gender. She has no love for this country and no competence. Harris’ first foreign mission to Mexico and Guatemala was a massive failure and tonight she will leave on her next trip abroad.

Afghanistan, among poorest nations in the world, is heavily dependent on American aid The Taliban, on the heels of a steady, monthslong military blitz, retook control of Afghanistan last week, just four months after President Biden announced he would withdraw U.S. troops from the embattled nation and nearly 20 years after the militant group was first ousted. placeholder One of the biggest questions the Taliban has faced after sweeping so quickly into power is how it got the cash to seize control and govern the country. Afghanistan, already one of the poorest countries in the world, is heavily dependent on American aid. About 80% of the nation's budget is funded by the U.S. and ...

Biden: Withdrawal of Troops in Afghanistan Could’ve Gone No Better Joe Biden joined George Stephanopoulos in an exclusive interview with ABC News. What he had to say about the ongoing chaos in Afghanistan is receiving backlash from both sides of the political aisle. In the interview, Stephanopoulos asked Biden if the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan could’ve been handled better, in which Biden snapped backed and said it couldn’t have been better. Biden then expanded on the comment and declared there was going to be chaos no matter what he did; so he felt as if the situation could’ve gone no better than how it went. Stephanopoulos also asked Biden what he ...
The Afghanistan Exit Debacle: Incompetence, Distraction Or Something More Sinister?

Does the Biden admin need US troops home to enforce medical tyranny through martial law? My first instinct has been to ignore the circus surrounding Biden’s apparent bungle of the troop exit from Afghanistan, primarily because I think it distracts from the much bigger danger of despotic covid mandates and vaccine passports that Biden and his handlers are trying to push forward right now on our home soil. That said, I have received numerous requests from readers to discuss the situation and I’ve found certain aspects of the pull-out rather suspicious. The basic assumption here is that Biden is senile and his handling of the exit is tainted by his stupidity, but maybe there is ...
