Sound Familiar?
Timothy Birdnow
Since it's Sunday I thought I would share a little Christian prophecy.
From St.Nilus, circa 400 a.d.
"After the
year 1900, toward the middle of the 20th century, the people of that
time will become unrecognizable. When the time for the Advent of the
Antichrist approaches, people's minds will grow cloudy from carnal
passions, and dishonor and lawlessness will grow stronger. Then the
world will become unrecognizable. People's appearances will change, and
it will be impossible to distinguish men from women due to their
shamelessness in dress and style of hair. These people will be cruel and
will be like wild animals because of the temptations of the Antichrist.
There will be no respect for parents and elders, love will disappear,
and Christian pastors, bishops, and priests will become vain men,
completely failing to distinguish the right-hand way from the left. At
that time the morals and traditions of Christians and of the Church will
change. People will abandon modesty, and dissipation will reign.
Falsehood and greed will attain great proportions, and woe to those who
pile up treasures. Lust, adultery, homosexuality, secret deeds and
murder will rule in society.
At that
future time, due to the power of such great crimes and licentiousness,
people will be deprived of the grace of the Holy Spirit, which they
received in Holy Baptism and equally of remorse.
"The
Churches of God will be deprived of God-fearing and pious pastors, and
woe to the Christians remaining in the world at that time; they will
completely lose their faith because they will lack the opportunity of
seeing the light of knowledge from anyone at all. Then they will
separate themselves out of the world in holy refuges in search of
lightening their spiritual sufferings, but everywhere they will meet
obstacles and constraints. And all this will result from the fact that
the Antichrist wants to be Lord over everything and become the ruler of
the whole universe, and he will produce miracles and fantastic signs. He
will also give depraved wisdom to an unhappy man so that he will
discover a way by which one man can carry on a conversation with another
from one end of the earth to the other. At that time men will also fly
through the air like birds and descend to the bottom of the sea like
fish. And when they have achieved all this, these unhappy people will
spend their lives in comfort without knowing, poor souls, that it is
deceit of the Antichrist. And, the impious one! ? he will so complete
science with vanity that it will go off the right path and lead people
to lose faith in the existence of God in three hypostases.
"Then the
All-good God will see the downfall of the human race and will shorten
the days for the sake of those few who are being saved, because the
enemy wants to lead even the chosen into temptation, if that is
possible... then the sword of chastisement will suddenly appear and kill
the perverter and his servants."
End.
Then there is Johannes Friede
Johannes Friede (1204-1257)
When the great time will come, in which mankind will face its last, hard
trial, it will be foreshadowed by striking changes in nature. The
alteration between cold and heat will become more intensive, storms will
have more catastrophic effects, earthquakes will destroy great regions,
and the seas will overflow many lowlands. Not all of it will be the
result of natural causes, but mankind will penetrate into the bowels of
the earth and will reach into the clouds, gambling with its own
existence. Before the powers of destruction will succeed in their
design, the universe will be thrown into disorder, and the age of iron
will plunge into nothingness.
When nights will be filled with more intensive cold and days with heat, a
new life will begin in nature. The heat means radiation from the earth,
the cold the waning light of the sun. Only a few years more and you
will become aware that sunlight has grown perceptibly weaker. When even
your artificial light will cease to give service, the great event in the
heavens will be near.

St. Nilus's prophecy is frightening in the extreme, partly because most of it has fallen upon us now. He's nailed so much of what we have and are...
Friede, on the other hand, sounds like a proponent for Global Warming/Climate Change, and considering when he wrote this, they were going through some temperature changes themselves. I don't have it at hand, but I think he might have been writing during the Medieval Warm period. And by the time the 1400s rolled around, it was cooler than normal.

Agreed on all counts Dana. The prophecy of Nilus is particularly disturbing.
Friede lived in the 13th century and died around 1257. This was at the peak of the Medieval Warming Period and that was why I included the prophecy here; it was a way of showing there was such a thing and also showing he knew the climate would change and would be used to justify some of what was coming.
Notice he said sunlight would be perceptibly weaker. Can't say that's exactly the case but it is interesting insofar as we have gone into a period of no sunspots and that's been happening for some time. How else does sunlight become "perceptibly weaker?" Atmospheric dust? If guys like Bill Gates get their way we will actually geo-emgineer the planet with dust to cool it. It makes me wonder...
At any rate, that was precisely why I included this and Dana you certainly get the gold star here! I figured you'd figure this out right away, but you were on top of it at warp speed!

Well, I try to be right. I took a stab at estimating the Medieval Warm Period and I guess I got it right. It's important to know about that, because it explains some historical events.

It does indeed Dana. A lot of them in fact. The Mongols, for instance, emerged from the Gobi at this period, and that because their food supply increased thanks to a warmer climate. And of course the Viking plundered Europe and settled in Greenland during the early part of this era.
It's fascinating to examine history in that light.

U.S. Biometric Data Now in Hands of Taliban
Timothy Birdnow
The U.S. took all sorts of biometric data on Afghanis and now the Taliban possess this and will use it against our friends.
From the BBC:
A
United Nations document recently seen by the BBC says the Taliban are
intensifying their hunt for people who worked for, and collaborated
with, Nato and US forces.
And
the giant stores of biometric data collected by both the US military
and the Afghan government could, some argue, pose a risk to those
facing reprisals.
Brian Dooley, a senior adviser to activist group Human Rights First, told the BBC's Tech Tent podcastthat while very little was definitively known, "a very educated guess
would say that [the Taliban] either has or is about to get their hands
on an enormous amount of biometric data".
Using
handheld devices called HIIDE (Handheld Interagency Identity Detection
Equipment), soldiers like Mr Kiernan would add the details of Afghans
to a US biometric store.
He
said it was useful in identifying bomb-makers, while it was also used
to confirm the identities of contractors and locals working with the US
military.
The
original military ambition was to cover 80% of the population (25
million people) on the system, although the actual figure achieved is
thought to be much less.
So this whole "Mark of the Beast" policy is coming back to bite our friends.
This is just one reason why you don't give everyone a number.
The Book of Revelations says everyone in the world will receive a number. Looks like we were busy numbering those in our power.
Maybe the U.S. deserved to be humiliated there.

Well, whether or not we deserved it, we certainly got it compliments of our totally incompetent government. I can't believe anybody thought far enough ahead to deliberately give this stuff to our enemies. I still think it was all "Do whatever Trump didn't."

Maybe not Dana, but there has been years to think about this and nothing was done. It's monstrous incompetence, to the point where it's hard to believe. Are our top military brass that inept?

False RePorting
Timothy Birdnow
So the Taliban are taking the passports of Afghan-Americans before they reach the airport. https://nypost.com/2021/08/20/taliban-seizing-afghan-americans-us-passports-outside-airport/?fbclid=IwAR3Zkk-4wXektWZ7oL1yygErUWz4vAdyCIiyMbwzcrG19ptq-5uwSzVVsbc Joe Biden probably thinks they are talking about their vaccination passports.
Or I can imagine this:
Reporter: "Mr. President, we are told the Taliban has been taking American citizen's passports.
Biden: "That's a damnable lie, C'mon Man!"
Reporter:
"You are saying the report is false Mr. President?"
Biden "You're damned right I am. Afghanistan is a landlocked country and doesn't have any ports."

137
This from David Nabhan:
The great physicist Wolfgang Pauli spent his life pondering the
significance of the number 137. It kept him up at night for years. Why
should the alpha constant of the universe be 1/137? Why not 1/136 or
1/138? When he wound up in hospital—in room 137!—he knew the jig was
up. Indeed, that’s where he died. I’m not as smart as Pauli, but I try
to be sneakier. What number fascinates ME? It's #34,875,791. Why?
Simple, there’s no hospital on Earth with that many rooms. Gotcha,
fate; checkmate!

Rage Against Nature: Telling Girls to Learn to Code
Selwyn Duke
https://www.selwynduke.com/2021/08/rage-against-nature-social-engineers-are-telling-girls-learn-to-code.html
They don’t yet try to get deer to hunt or pigs to fly, but the will to thwart humans’ nature is alive and well. One of many examples is the obsession with getting girls involved in STEM (Science, Technology, Math, and Engineering), and a recent such effort involves COVID-era art classes designed to entice girls to do computer programming.

Arguing with Idiots Vaccine Edition
Timothy Birdnow
More arguing with a covidiot.
First, David Nabhan observed:
We’ve only
known about the very existence of viruses for a blink of an eye;
Dimitri Ivanovski described the new lifeform killing Crimea’s tobacco
crop in 1892. The 1946 Nobel Prize was awarded when this virus was
first isolated. In 1992 "giant viruses†were discovered—frea
ks
that look like skyscrapers to normal viruses. No one knows whether
viruses predate the other forms of life or even if the very nuclei in
the 37 trillion cells in our bodies started out as DNA viruses.
But the same people heroically swinging in the dark have cooked up a serum they’ll give you a free marijuana joint-for-a-jab
if you’ll throw the dice with them. Hell, why not? Like the Marines say when they go over the top, "No one lives forever!â€
This prompted the virus panic monger Gary Katz to object:
Meanwhile, almost every person dying from the delta variant hasn't been vaccinated. I'd rather die in 25 years than tomorrow.

When the
"fact" stays the same but the
"reason" changes my
"BS meter" hits the top peg. Hydroxychloroquine is banned at first because it is dangerous - it causes heart problems. Oh, maybe not. People have been eating it like candy for decades and are not keeling over from heart attacks. It's still banned, but now because
"it doesn't work."

If Donald Trump had never uttered the word "Hydroxychloroquine," everybody'd be just fine with using it to treat... whatever. This is a classic example of guilt by association.

Absolutely right Bill. And now we are told to take a radical new drug that is implicated in heart problems when that was the reason to not use hqc in the first place.
This whole pandemic has been a bait and switch, which is why I am so very suspicious of everything we've been told.
Yeah Dana; Trump thought it a good idea so they would never, ever consider it. That it is an established drug and cheap also didn't help; the drug companies are making enormous sums of cash off this and will continue to do so for the forseeable future.
Wonder how much drug stock Pelosi and Biden and the rest control? (No doubt they don't own it to avoid legal issues.)

Chinese Economy Loses Half a Trillion
This from Sherrie Mathieson
Half a Trillion Dollars Erased from Chinese Market
Tim adds:
I have always believed China is a paper tiger and that a couple of big pushes could end their seemingly inevitable rise. This may or may not be it, but China is overextended and if their economic growth pauses for even a year or so the resultant unemployment problem will ruin them.
This may or may not be it, but I suspect eventually we will see it come. China is not built on a solid economic foundation. She is rather a house of cards built in a bog. She looks solid and does fine as long as the wind doesn't blow or something doesn't stir the water.
The West has been building her up for 30 years now and China appears mighty and invincible. But that won't last, in my opinion.

Don't cheer China's downfall, because we will follow. We are dependent on China in too many ways to count, and if their economy is built on fiction ours is even more so. Think "quantatative easing" and the fact that in measuring our economy we ignore the accumulation of new private and public debt. Cut off what we buy from China and down we go.

You're both right -- unfortunately.

Absolutely right Bill. We both have Potemkin village economies, and we are tight together like a pair of Siamese Twins, thanks to the efforts of the Democrats and the Neo-Con "free trade" types in the '90's and the oughts. It's exactly how the E.U. was created; Germany and France tied their economies together to the point where they couldn't dare mess with each other. Now they are not really countries at all but puppets of the over-government. That is what the Left wanted to do with the U.S. and China and have largely succeeded.
It is why they were so enraged at Trump; he was screwing up a decades long plan.
I see no way we AREN'T going down. I just want China going down too. Hopefully a better country will rise to world power and the U.S. will at least stop all the insanity, or at least last long enough for me to assume room temperature and not have to live through the horrible thing that is coming.

Reporter: "Mr. President, we are told the Taliban has been taking American citizen's passports.
Biden: "That's a damnable lie, C'mon Man!"
Reporter:
"You are saying the report is false Mr. President?"
Biden "You're damned right I am. Afghanistan is a landlocked country and doesn't have any ports."

Bad Vax Tales
Timothy Birdnow
For those of you on Facebook
here is a page that collects horror stories about the Wuhan vaccination. Worth a look - especially if you are just getting vaxxed now.
I myself took the first dose on Tuesday and will receive the second dose in September.
Everyone wonders why I am so anti-vaxx. I'm not. But I do not like secrets, and I do not like being herded like a steer. We have been lied to about this vaccine and we are now not getting the straight story while at the same time the authorities are creating a system whereby we will have to have a sort of national i.d. It's the plan of action, I suspect. We will have a vaccination database (and since Covid, like all such viruses, mutates with the seasons we will be forced to vaccinate regularly and PROVE our status, thus allowing the creation of a national numbering system for us - something utterly intolerable from the perspective of free people.
And I also think we are going to damage our genome with this novel vaccine. Granted, I am pretty much past siring children, but there are plenty of younger folks who aren't.
One of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is Pestillence. It occurs to me this thing - and the vaccine we are employing - may be the Pale Horse. We could wind up sickening the whole world with this. We don't KNOW.
And, like the crazy lady in the kid's song, we will just keep swallowing bigger and bigger predators to kill the fly we accidentally swallowed until - well you remember the old gal scarfing down the stallion and then going room temperature.
I see great peril in everything we are doing with this, from medical issues to social issues.
I took the stab because I am in a high risk group and am going to attend a wedding with a lot of people soon and with my already compromised lungs I am a prime candidate for a dirt nap from it. My wife's family has been pushing me to do this, too. Not thrilled with the idea - especially as heart inflammation and clotting has been associated with the stab. I have enough heart problems already. But I decided to risk it, if only because I don't want to get sick and have everyone say "see!" Now if I get sick I can say "see!" even if it kills me!
It pretty much was a coin toss.
One I wouldn't have made had any one factor been in play.
That said I do not change my stance on this. This is something that a free people have a right to decide, not some arrogant technocrats, and not even the American People as a collective. This is and should be an individual choice.
Something they want to deny us.

AMEN! It should be left up to citizens to decide whether to vax or not -- just as it was seventy+ years ago about getting the smallpox vaccinations.

If this thing were so wonderful everybody would be beating the doors down to get it. That they are begging us to take it illustrates to me the fact that it has unresolved issues.
Certainly the medical community has been very slow to get vaccinated. That speaks volumes.

The Unseen Hand
"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and
opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society.
Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an
invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.
...We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas
suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical
result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast
numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to
live together as a smoothly functioning society. ...In almost every act
of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in
our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the
relatively small number of persons...who understand the mental
processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the
wires which control the public mind.â€

So true Dana.
It is not Bill, it's an oligarchy. Rule by elites is always in the best interests of the elites doing the ruling. Sometimes they lie to us - and even themselves - and believe it's for the public good (look at the Bush family, for instance) but in the end it profits the rulers.

I might point out that what we're talking about here is what the supposed Golden Age of Athens had: rule by the first citizen. And a number of those "first citizens" fouled up the works greatly. The sainted Pericles basically brought down the whole house of cards. His policies led to Athens's defeat at the hands of Sparta.

Containment of Terror
From Roger Bell
Order from
chaos, the excellent, incisive brain and superb oratory of Dr Julian
Lewis MP nails it in the House of Commons yesterday.
Dr Julian Lewis Chair, Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament 12:19 pm, 18th August 2021
"In his speech of self-justificat
ion
after the collapse of Kabul, President Biden reduced a complex military
issue to only two stark alternatives. It was a gross over-simplifica
tion
for him to pose a devil’s dilemma between either a massive troop surge
on a never-ending basis or a ruthless, chaotic and dishonourable
departure. It is ruthless because people who trusted NATO will pay a
terrible price; chaotic because of a lack of foresight to plan an
orderly and properly protected departure; and dishonourable because
even if our open-ended, nation-building
, micromanagement
strategy was wrong, as I think it was, in 20 years we created
expectations and obligations which those who relied on us had a right
to expect us to fulfil, as Ms Abbott has just said.
It has been
pointed out correctly that for 20 years, NATO operations in Afghanistan
succeeded in preventing further al-Qaeda attacks on the west from being
launched under Taliban protection. That was indeed the key outcome, but
unless we choose a better future strategy, the threat of its reversal
is all too real. Not only may sanctuary on Afghan soil again be offered
to lethal international terrorists, but other Islamist states may also
decide to follow suit. How, then, should we have handled a country like
Afghanistan when it served as a base and a launchpad for al-Qaeda, and
how should we deal with such situations in the future?
These are my personal views on a defence issue unrelated to the work of
the Intelligence and Security Committee. For the past 10 years, I have
argued both inside and outside this Chamber, very often to the dismay
of my parliamentary colleagues, that a form of containment rather than
counter-insurge
ncy is the
only practical answer to international terrorist movements sheltered
and sponsored by rogue regimes like the Taliban. Containment, as older
colleagues will remember, was the policy that held the Soviet Union in
check throughout the cold war until its empire imploded and its
ideology was discredited. Islamist extremism has a subversive reach
similar to that of revolutionary communism, and our task is to keep it
at bay until it collapses completely or evolves into tolerant, or at
least tolerable, alternative doctrines.
In Afghanistan, the task
of overthrowing the Taliban and driving al-Qaeda into exile was quickly
accomplished in 2001, and at that point NATO arrived at a fork in the
road. The option selected was, as we know, an open-ended commitment to
impose a western version of democracy and protect it indefinitely in a
country that had a strong sense of its own political and social culture
and which was known to be politically allergic to foreign intervention.
Yet there was another option available to western strategists in
response to the 9/11 attacks. Having achieved our immediate objectives
of putting al-Qaeda to flight and punishing the Taliban, we should have
announced that we were completely removing our forces but would
promptly return by land and air to repeat the process if international
terrorist groups were again detected in Afghanistan. When the Taliban
regain full territorial control, they will lose their shield of
invisibility. If they then choose to pose or facilitate a renewed
threat—a terrorist threat—to western security, they should expect both
their leadership and their military capability to be hit hard by our
mobile land and air forces. That cycle would be repeated until the
threat was removed, but we should not and would not allow our forces to
be sucked in again."

Gun Control only for Americans
This from Tom Greer
"Anytime any Democrat ever speaks to America about gun control again,
and they want to talk to you about your AR-15, you tell them right now
how many weapons and how many semi-automatic weapons did you hand over
to terrorists in Afghanistan, to the Taliban, ISIS and possible
Al-Qaeda before you ever talk to Americans about gun control,â€
-Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene ("I have my team right
now working on articles of impeachment,†she said. "Because I’m so
disgusted with Joe Biden. You know I’ve already filed one set of
articles of impeachment. But his failure as a president is
unspeakable.â€)
Tim adds:
Yeah - they love gun control for Americans but not everyone else.
Remember Obama and Fast and Furious? Handed all sorts of weapons to the
drug cartels.

Rep. Greene is somebody to watch! She sounds very good, and has her head on straight.
It does no good to talk to the gun control people about "self defense" or the Second Amendment. They are blind and deaf to those arguments. But maybe slamming them with Slow Joe's crimes just might get their attention.

Once a Prison Always a Prison
James Doogue
Australia Panics While UK Parties
People in the UK got tired of giving up basic freedoms and trashing their economy. Last month they celebrated Freedom Day and are learning to live with Covid-19. Many other countries around the world are doing the same.
In Australia we seem to have gone the other way with most states, and the majority of the populations locked-down or under severe restrictions. Many people living in fear. 'Phew! I'm vaccinated' is the type of comment many young, healthy very low risk people are posting on Social Media.
The media and government hype has got into their heads.
In Australia we are living under conditions we would have only expected from communist countries and tin-pot dictators. We have night-time curfews. Police will body tackle you for not wearing a face mask. Fines for breaches of Covid-19 restrictions can be up to many thousands of dollars.
If you want to challenge the validity of fines, prepare to lose your house. One woman who was wearing a mask, taking her legally allowed one hour exercise outside (she wasn't in prison, just in the state of Victoria), was arrested for wearing a political placard protesting against the state Premier. She challenged the fine she was given, lost her appeal in the state Supreme Court. The government has asked the court to find all their costs against her. Sending a signal to anyone else who wants to challenge their authority. https://youtu.be/wFfsopU5Db0
I hope she takes the matter to Australia's Federal High Court as the Victorian Supreme Court has often been found wanting in the High Court. In the case of the appeal against the jury conviction of George Pell, the Victorian Supreme Court upheld the conviction on appeal with a 2-1 majority. Later the Federal High Court quashed the conviction with a 7-0 decision in favour of Pell and were scathing of the State Supreme Court's decision. But I digress.
If they are so easily scared, we need the same hype about road injuries and fatalities as we have about Covid-19. It would take half of the panic people off the roads and make driving nicer for me.
The UK is getting close to 6.5 million positive cases. That's nearly 10% of the population. In Australia that would be 2.5 million. We've had just over 30,000. The UK are getting that many per day and they are living with it. Meanwhile we are panicking over a few hundred per day.
In the UK, restaurants and schools are open. They got sick of futile and damaging lock-downs. Eventually Australians will twig and revert to the same approach. Protect the vulnerable, boost your health services. Get on with life.
And don't claim the UK can only do that because of higher vaccination rates. Many fully vaccinated people are among the new Covid-19 cases, hospitalisations and deaths.
From July 19 to August 2, 55.1% of the 1,467 people hospitalized with the Delta variant were unvaccinated, 10.0% had just one jab and 34.9% – or 512 people – had received two doses. https://eturbonews.com/3000042/hundreds-of-vaccinated-people-hospitalized-in-uk-with-delta/
July 19 was the date when the lockdown restrictions were significantly eased in UK. Their Freedom Day.
In addition to more than 30,000 new cases a day they are getting over 700 new hospitalisations and 100 deaths each day and they aren't panicking! https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/
In Australia we are calling much lower rates a 'crisis'. In the UK they are calling it living sensibly with Covid.
Australian politicians are killing us with Covid-19 restrictions while claiming to be 'keeping us safe'. They will long be out of office with nice perks and pensions, while we'll all still be paying for their mismanagement.
The UK Reverted To Personal Responsibility Rather Than Government Police State Mandates
Here's the Level 4 Covid-19 Government Statement For The UK - Citizens Are Being Trusted
'Although most legal restrictions have been lifted at step 4, and many people have been vaccinated, it is still possible to catch and spread COVID-19, even if you are fully vaccinated, and we are still in the third wave of this pandemic in the UK.
COVID-19 will be a feature of our lives for the foreseeable future, so we need to learn to live with it and manage the risk to ourselves and others.
As COVID-19 restrictions are lifted, it is important that we all use personal judgement to manage our own risk. All of us can play our part by exercising common sense and considering the risks. While no situation is risk free, there are actions we can take to protect ourselves and others around us. Following this guidance will help you stay safe and protect others by controlling the spread. Every action to help reduce the spread will reduce any further resurgence of the virus in the coming months.
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/covid-19-coronavirus-restrictions-what-you-can-and-cannot-do#england-has-moved-to-step-4 in
When will Australia see the light? When will we get our freedoms back?

Guess not Dana.
I went to college with a gal (she was kind of a babe and I had a shot with her but missed my chance) who married an Australian man and moved there. She recently came back to the States and my brother Brian met up with her at a party recently. (I am pretty sure she leans Left, I might add). She said the reason she moved back to America is because Australia has become a police state. She said it was getting really bad there. The Covid restrictions touched almost every aspect of life.
And they haven't even had a thousand deaths in a country of 25 million people!
So now we know Australia and New Zealand are lost to the Free World.
Free societies are getting few and far between. America is fast being lost as well.

Taliban in Pakistan
This from Tom Greer
In case you are wondering about "where" all the abandoned weapons,
vehicles and aircraft went. Look no further. They are across the border
in Pakistan, the FIRST place we should have "cleaned up" after the
killing of Bin Laden. Ask yourselves WHY Pakistan is free from
accountability.

Biden Knew
Timothy Birdnow
The State Department warned of the coming collapse of Afghanistan back in July.
Confidential State Department Cable in July Warned of Afghanistan’s Collapse
About two dozen 😱 State Department officials serving at the embassy in Kabul 😱[what do they know!] sent an internal memo to Secretary of State Antony
Blinken and another top State Department official last month warning of
the potential collapse of Kabul soon after the Aug. 31 troop withdrawal
deadline, according to a U.S. official and a personal familiar with the
cable.
The cable, sent via the State Department’s
confidential dissent channel, warned of rapid territorial gains by the
Taliban and the subsequent collapse of Afghan security forces, and
offered recommendations
on ways to mitigate the crisis and speed up an evacuation, the two people said.
Don't tell me this wasn't purposeful. The people running the Biden Administration knew this would happen and they did it anyway.

Maybe. Or maybe not. Over the last umpteen years our foreign policy, especially when Democrats are in control of the asylum, is generally nothing more than "feel good" stuff that we really believe the other side will respond favorably to. We continue to act as if we believe the "other side" will come around to our way of thinking if we're just nice enough -- that they "share our values." It hasn't happened yet, has it? Perhaps the success of the Marshall Plan after WWII gulled us.

Dana, this is "top down, bottom up, inside out". The whole point is to humiliate the U.S. on the world stage, break America's pride and sense of self, flood the country with perhaps a million more people, and unleash more wars and terrorism which will drive America and the Western World further to the grip of the internationalists. Humiliation of America is a big thing, and it is a way to teach the lesson that nationalism and individual national action are fruitless and only a world order fully engaged can solve world problems.
They will also use this to promote socialism as they will argue we wouldn't be having all this terrorism if it weren't for capitalism and capitalist greed.
At the same time the capitalists will feed their greed by selling munitions and small arms to the terrorists and to countries resisting the terrorists.
And the surveillance state will continue to metastasize as every person is a potential terrorist and must be watched.
The whole thing sounds convoluted but I have little doubt they discuss this kind of stuff at Davos or at the Renaissance Weekend, or other places. The World Economic Forum is a big one too.
The more things that happen on the World stage the less I believe in random events. We seem to be gambling with rigged dice and the house always comes up with a seven.

Biden Admin Charging Americans for Flights Home
This from Willis Eschenbach:
So Biden's Administration is flying thousands of Afghani Shariah
worshippers over to the US for free, but Americans have to pay $2,000
each ...
"State Dept's Overseas Security Advisory
Council said Aug. 14: "Repatriation flights are not free, &
passengers will be required to sign a promissory loan agreement &
may not be eligible to renew their U.S. passports til the loan is
repaid. Cost may be $2,000 or more per person.""
===
I
swear, these mofos have totally lost the plot. Both COVID-infected
Central Americans and Afghani Muslims, far too many of whom are
fanatics, smugglers, and violent criminals, get the open door policy,
while honest legal immigrants and Americans get the shaft.
Vote these lethal Democrat imbeciles out of office, root and branch.

Losing Rare Earth
From Steven Chase
You will be hearing about this soon....
So Biden wants to go green with electric cars. To do that you need lithium for the batteries. (and other 'green' applications)
Afghanistan has by far THE LARGEST LITHIUM DEPOSITS IN THE WORLD and
Biden has just handed them over to China. - Nigel Farage 8/19/21
By the way, The U.S. Establishment has stood by as China gobbled up ALL
of the vast 'rare earth' materials on the African Continent.
Currently, I believe we are incapable of building electric vehicles WITHOUT dealing with Communist China for the materials!
