The withdrawal looks more like another attempt at Pottery Barn Rules that Powell warned about.

Create a disaster that we have to go back and "fix"

Not usually one to toot my own horn, but pretty sure I called it back on the first page of this thread.

Just out of curiosity, can you define your term Power okole? Just to get clarification.
The Power Okole is the term that I refer to the real oligarchs, blue-blood families of industrialists and bankers, and/or other power brokers that truly call the shots in any country.  In the US empire, its the ultrawealthy and their army of stooges that more often than not, comprise the upper echelon, in every facet in American society.  Not surprisingly, money, sex, and drugs are their tools of their trade, to infiltrate and later control the leaders of any institution that furthers their dominion.

So, an example would be Bloomberg, who unsuccessfully used his billions to try and buy the presidency?  He still spent millions in many states to ensure Biden won.

You mean like that?

He is either talking about the Rothschilds, the Bilderbegers, the Freemasons or the Illuminati or all 4 and maybe a few more.

Yes and then some.

What's crazy is that the ultrawealthy don't really try to hide their intentions any more.

I pray for those who want out, are able to get out.

However, I have a bad feeling that September 11, 2021 might mark a renewal of the military occupation of Afghanistan.

Mahalo for your clarity. I don't disagree but I do pray for our country men and women, and for the future of our children and grandchildren.

NATO statement:

We regret to inform you that international military evacuations from Kabul airport have ended and we are no longer able to call anyone forward for evacuation flights.  We will keep lists of all of you who have registered ….

America, you need to know this: Biden is not letting US citizens through the airport gates. It has been impossible to get anyone through for the last 24 hours.

This administration has been lying about their intent to save Americans. Unforgivable.


I am not a Crenshaw fan, but if this is legit the House Dems better help impeach his senile ass. And his cabinet need to go to prison.

I'm hearing from people very close to TF Pineapple that the State Dept. is actively blocking the private extractions of Americans by our private operators.

Why?

Why is the US Govt. leaving Americans stranded to be killed in Afghanistan?

Something very sinister going on.
