Afghan activist woman: 'The Taliban and my own family will come for me'


"American troops are withdrawing from Afghanistan, leaving the country's women to Taliban's rule. I said that I would not publish anything further at this time about the tragedy of Afghan women. And yet—one brave soul just wrote to me at length and urged me to publish her words, for her sake, and for the sake of hundreds of other women in her position.

"Together, can we at least save this one woman’s life? Here are excerpted portions of her letter from the front lines of the war against women:"...


“Hear Our Cries”: What Terrifies an Afghan Women’s Rights Activist | The Nation 

. . . "The Taliban had seized Mazar-i-Sharif, the provincial capital. A district governor in the same province, Salima Mazari, a fierce politician in her own right, took up arms to fight the Taliban, but was recently captured by the militant group, and her whereabouts are currently unknown.

"K and her family, including her two young children, are in hiding at a friend’s house in Kabul, a city that she believed would be safer and more prepared to resist the Taliban than the less equipped provincial towns. But to her horror, within days of their arrival, the Taliban seized the country’s capital. I spoke with her on August 20, just five days after Kabul fell to the Taliban. K was overwhelmed with emotions of fear, despair, and betrayal, and emphasized the need for the “world to hear our cries.” As a mother, she was particularly afraid for the future of her country and the safety and security of her young children." ...

An Eagle was soaring through the air when suddenly it heard the whizz of an Arrow, and felt itself wounded to death. Slowly it fluttered down to the earth, with its life-blood pouring out of it. Looking down upon the Arrow with which it had been pierced, it found that the shaft of the Arrow had been feathered with one of its own plumes. “Alas!” it cried, as it died, “We often give our enemies the means for our own destruction.”

"Glory and honor to the fallen in the Kabul bombing. Glory and honor to those Marines who defend the free world with courage and dedication, who fight our enemies, and resist, often despite the negligence of politicians. Love and prayers for them, their families and friends. God bless them. And all the contempt in the universe for their cowardly murderers.

"For today, I had written another installment of “Summer Satire,” that saga of articles with which we are having so much fun. But I have decided to press pause on it today. I am all for taking refuge in humor, especially when everything goes wrong, but today I felt that I had to make an exception. There are a lot of people who don’t feel like laughing. And, above all, there is something I simply can’t put off saying: Joe must resign. He has the last chance in his life to do something truly patriotic for America: resign. He must accept his ineptitude and walk away. Being at the helm of the White House is not child’s play. And while terrorists are to blame for what happened, Joe must take responsibility for the most disastrous and dangerous war retreat ever to have been witnessed. Even Siri, with a virus and no battery, would have planned the Afghanistan withdrawal better than Joe Biden.". . .

Greg Gutfeld Is Humiliating Liberal Late Night Hosts

 Source: The American Spectator

That was until the last decade of nonstop progressive film bombs and plummeting TV viewership only prompted [Hollywoke] to double down on intersectional insulation and anti-deplorable insults. The undeniable truth is they hate us more than they like profit.


. . ."On Tuesday, Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld (Gutfeld!) got higher ratings than both one-note liberal hosts Stephen Colbert (The Late Show, CBS) and Jimmy Fallon (The Tonight Show, NBC). Gutfeld drew 2.1 million viewers to Colbert’s 1.9 million and Fallon’s 1.2 million. Even better, Gutfeld won in the coveted 25-54 age range with 434,000 viewers, beating out Colbert’s 423,000 and Fallon’s 354,000.

"What must CBS and NBC be feeling to have their mighty networks beaten by Fox News, the frequent butt of their attempts at humor, and a comic right-wing pundit with a staff maybe 20 times smaller than their own?

"Gutfeld’s triumph is deserved not because he’s more conservative than the other two, but because he’s much funnier. Colbert and Fallon used to be, before they became embarrassing Democratic shills. They don’t tell jokes, they tell wokes. They don’t earn laughter from the audience, they get clapter — a Pavlovian response signifying audience agreement with their political point. A few genuine chuckles are more rewarding than five full minutes of clapter. And Gutfeld works for every single one."...

But there’s a new wave coming behind Gutfeld. It will drown Hollywoke like the Red Sea did the Egyptian army in that old two-part tome they never read, and in a manner even Ridley Scott couldn’t direct. Conservative artists who know what we’re doing have entered the arena. And to outcast traditionalist moviegoers, we say, “Keep watching the screens. Quality entertainment is on the way.”

How Convenient! What can go wrong?

An Awfully Convenient Ruse for an Inconvenient Truth - American Thinker   . . . "But what if that tall tale didn't sufficiently scare humanity into handing over its wealth and freedom to a permanent governing cabal of the 1% of the 1%?  What if sending John Kerry and Al Gore around the world to preach about the apocalypse didn't jumpstart the kind of "Great Reset" required to re-engineer humanity's social pyramid?  Maybe, over cigars and brandy, Klaus Schwab or George Soros or Bill Gates or some emissary of Xi Jinping's or some family representative of the Rothschilds or the Rockefellers or some other parasitic titan says, "What we really need is a global pandemic.  And not just any pandemic but one that will never, ever go away."

"Perhaps, just perhaps, the only way to turn Australia into the modern incarnation of the Third Reich is to flat-out convince people that every single breath they take will likely kill them unless it is regulated by government authorities.". . .

Cawthorn calls on Harris to invoke 25th Amendment and impeach Biden as president over Afghanistan crisis – .


FR24 News


"U.S. Representative Madison Cawthorn, a new Republican from North Carolina, calls on Vice President Kamala Harris to invoke the 25th Amendment and impeach President Biden following the murderous and botched US troop withdrawal from Afghanistan.

“ 'Our nation is at a critical point,” he wrote in a letter Thursday to Harris and the rest of the cabinet.

"He warned of China’s ambitions on the world stage, the resurgence of Russia, rising inflation, chaos on the southern border and other global predicaments threatening the United States – and called argues that tackling them would require strong and decisive leadership.

“ 'Joe Biden’s physical inability to lead is not a matter of political discussion – it’s a demonstrable fact,” Cawthorn told Fox News Thursday night. “He is not mentally fit to serve as President of the United States. “

The congressman said he did not believe Biden was capable of serving as commander-in-chief after the disastrous U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, which left thousands of Afghan allies stranded, the country to hands of the Taliban and the highest number of Americans killed in a single attack in Afghanistan in more than a decade." . . .

Biden’s debasement of our country should be a life-altering national call to action.


..."Add up the damage of his 7 months in office. Serious damage to our energy independence. Making a mockery of our sovereignty on immigration and the border. Weaponizing federal law enforcement for political purposes. Obscene spending plans. All of this and more is serious and long lasting.

Don’t bet Thursday’s deaths will be the last. The country is now a modern arms bazaar, overflowing with designed-to-kill equipment for the Taliban to use on Americans and anyone else they choose to murder, or sell to unsavory characters who want to massacre Westerners. Remaining in Afghanistan after the U.S. quits will be nearly 76,000 military vehicles, 208 American airplanes and helicopters, and almost 600,000 arms.

Nancy Pelosi's grotesque behavior after the bomb in Kabul was for a reason -

 American Thinker  "One of the things that disgusted conservatives following news of the bloody terrorist attack in Kabul that killed twelve Marines and one Navy corpsman was the fact that Nancy Pelosi, during a public appearance in San Francisco, not only didn't mention it, but was also in an exceptionally jovial, joking mood.  My bet is that this wasn't mere callousness on her part.  Instead, she was engaged in a form of gaslighting because she knows that many of her constituents pay little attention to the news and don't want to hear negative things about Democrats.

"Here's Pelosi, a woman without a care in the world:"...

..." I believe that the reason Pelosi is behaving in this way is to keep her base from realizing that something bad happened.  It's a form of gaslighting that involves her shaping their reality through lies, not to drive them crazy, but to keep them ignorant."...

Biden's Afghanistan pullout is going to cost us -

 American Thinker   . . . "British M.P. Lord Forsyth of Drumlean claimed, "It is very hard to overestimate the scale of the catastrophe following the Biden administration's disastrous implementation of the decision to withdraw from Afghanistan."  British M.P. Lord Blencathra believes that "Biden may have condemned the world to Chinese domination in future and the end of western liberal democracy."  He continued, "This is not like Saigon; it is far worse.  The Viet Cong had no agenda outside Vietnam but Afghanistan is now under the control of Islamist fanatics who want to wage war on every Western democracy."  Former British prime minister Tony Blair stated, "America's retreat is imbecilic — and tells our enemies we don't have any interests or values worth defending.  Friends and foes ask: is this a moment when the West is in epoch-changing retreat?"

"How will the Biden administration deal with the massive hostage crisis we are about to witness?  When not on vacation, its first response is to deny that there is a problem.  

"In her August 23 press briefing, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki indignantly stated, "I think it's irresponsible to say that Americans are stranded.  They are not."  However, national security adviser Jake Sullivan told Meet the Press on August 22 that there are "several thousand" Americans still stranded in Afghanistan.  On August 17, the Daily Mail reported that 40,000 Americans were stranded in Afghanistan.  No one knows the actual number.  How do you plan an evacuation when you don't know how many people need to be evacuated?  Press secretary for the Defense Department John Kirby told reporters the U.S. military does not know how many Americans remain in Afghanistan."...

Biden Embraces Defeat; The Administration leaves Afghanistan—and abandons America.

  The American Mind

Moreover, the US did so with the appearance of being run out of the country in shame and defeat.

"It would be easy to attribute the disaster of leaving Afghanistan, both human and strategic, to the incompetence of President Biden and his administration. After all, human incompetence normally explains a lot. But the affairs of a great nation like ours and its military are not the work of one man. There are generals, well-credentialed foreign policy experts, and senior intelligence officials who have devised how best to leave Afghanistan in order to achieve certain strategic and political objectives. The notion that there was a single incompetent decision made to abandon Afghanistan defies both logic and common sense. It was a matter of high government policy that the United States depart Afghanistan, abandon military equipment, and leave both Americans and our allies to the tender mercies of the radical Islamic Taliban.

"The exit from Afghanistan, then, appears designed to accomplish two things: first, to demoralize the American military and the American people. Over 22,000 American service personnel have been killed or injured in Afghanistan. Every American knows someone who served there. Knowing full well that the Afghan military would not defend the country, there could be little doubt that the United States was turning the country over to the Taliban.". . .

Former Navy SEAL says, “Americans are paying in blood for Biden’s disastrous troop withdrawal and submission to the Taliban”

 Bare Naked Islam.com   "Congressman Dan Crenshaw, a retired Navy SEAL, offers his perspective on the current situation in Afghanistan. He says we could still pull this out and save our citizens and those who helped us by telling the Taliban that we won’t leave until we are ready to leave."


What final US days in Afghanistan will look like: Scaling back evacuation flights, destroying weaponry

 2 suicide attacks outside Kabul airport; Russia says 13 dead (yahoo.com)  "Two suicide bombers and gunmen attacked crowds of Afghans flocking to Kabul's airport Thursday, transforming a scene of desperation into one of horror in the waning days of an airlift for those fleeing the Taliban takeover. At least 13 people were killed and 15 wounded, Russian officials said.

"Several Marines were killed and a number of other American military were wounded, a U.S. official said. It was not clear if those deaths were included in the Russian toll.

"One of the bombers struck people standing knee-deep in a wastewater canal under the sweltering sun, throwing bodies into the fetid water. Those who moments earlier had hoped to get on flights out could be seen carrying the wounded to ambulances in a daze, their own clothes darkened with blood.

"A U.S. official said the complex attack was believed to have been carried out by the Islamic State group. The IS affiliate in Afghanistan is far more radical than the Taliban, who recently took control of the country in a lightning blitz and condemned the attack." . . .

For some vulnerable Afghans, there is little hope of rescue from U.S. commandos. Instead, people such as Najeeb Rahimi, a translator who worked for the U.S. Army a decade ago, make the hazardous trek to the airport every day, braving Taliban checkpoints and hoping for a chance to escape.

What Will Become Of California Students and Parents Stranded in Afghanistan Now That Terrorists Attacking?
