The Morning Report - 8/16/21

sighgone.jpg

Good morning, kids. Monday and of course the top story is the absolute unmitigated disaster that is the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban. Fall is actually a woefully inadequate and really a highly misleading term. It presupposes that there was an actual battle going on between the medieval Islamic terrorists who once again control that pile of rubble and the US-backed Afghani military. By all accounts there was no defeat because there was no battle. The only shots that were fired were not in anger but evidently in celebration as our erstwhile "allies" literally handed over their weapons, bought and paid for by your tax dollars, to the jihadis.

Hollie McKay, a foreign policy expert and war crimes investigator who covered war, terrorism, and crimes against humanity for Fox News Digital for more than a decade, is reporting today from Afghanistan that the Taliban is paying off military commanders to abandon their posts and surrender their cities . . .

. . . "The level of corruption that has enabled the Taliban to come back to power is just mind-blowing," she explained. "To see that and to see all the weapons that have gone to the Taliban's hands when the Afghan army runs away -- that we paid for." "I always saw terrorism to be a secondary problem to the corruption," McKay continued. "Afghanistan is a classic example of that. You have many elements that are pro-Taliban within the government and military factions that will sell off information that hurts the cause."

I'm shocked - shocked! - to discover that a culture that hasn't even remotely resembled a modern western society for nearly 50 years (if at all, really) would so easily and gladly throw themselves over to stone-age tyranny and oppression despite it being in their DNA since time immemorial.

As the Taliban moves into Kabul and demands the unconditional surrender of the central government, Taliban commander Muhammed Arif Mustafa told CNN: "It's our belief that one day, mujahedin will have victory, and Islamic law will come not to just Afghanistan, but all over the world. We are not in a hurry. We believe it will come one day. Jihad will not end until the last day." The CNN "journalist," demonstrating yet again its spectacular misunderstanding of the conflict (which, of course, is shared by the U.S. foreign policy establishment), followed that with "It's a chilling admission from a group that claims it wants peace." The Taliban does indeed want peace. It wants the peace that will follow the world's submission to the hegemony of Islamic law.

Muhammed Arif Mustafa was stating plainly what the U.S. State Department steadfastly ignored for twenty years: the fact that the Taliban views itself as the exponents in 21st-century Afghanistan of a fourteen-hundred-year-old conflict, one that is as old as Islam itself . . .

. . . This is not to say that jihadis have never been defeated, or can never be defeated . . . But it is highly questionable that Joe Biden's America, in which any discussion of Islam's jihad imperative earns one the sobriquet of "Islamophobe" and high-level vilification and deplatforming, has that kind of patience. It is good that we are getting out of Afghanistan, although Biden's handlers have disastrously bungled the withdrawal, with consequences we will no doubt be suffering in the coming months, but State and Defense Department wonks should have a steady and sober regard for the fact that the jihad has not ended, and that jihadis will continue to come after the United States and American citizens.

In noting the estimable Robert Spencer's thoughts on the kind of "peace" Islam seeks for the world, aside from the fancy calligraphy and intricate geometric decor, the G-dless heathen Socialists want the very same "peace" - the peace of the mass grave for apostates and heretics of its own pseudo-religion. But I digress. Yes, de-assing from Afghanistan was the right goal as we should never have been there in the first place. The question has always been how do we leave without putting America and its legitimate national security interests at even greater risk than if we maintain a military presence? I may not know the answer to that question but I do know, and the entire world knows exactly what not to do. Declare "Mission Accomplished" and just bug out.

Raging imbeciles like Tony Blinken and his attack chihuahua Chris Wallace tried blaming President-in-Exile Trump for this and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo wasn't having any of it.

"Were I still the secretary of state with a commander in chief like President Trump, the Taliban would have understood that there were real costs to pay if there were plots against the United States of America from that place," Pompeo said. "Qassem Soleimani learned that lesson, and the Taliban would have learned it as well. . . "

". . . it's worth noting this did not happen on our watch. We reduced our forces significantly and the Taliban didn't advance on capitals all across Afghanistan. So it's just a plain old fact that this is happening under the Biden administration's leadership now almost a quarter of our way into his first term, this is not the way leaders lead, by pointing backwards."

"We had a bad deal we inherited -- the JCPOA [Iran nuclear deal]; we got out of it," Pompeo continued. "We secured America from the risk from Iran. We inherited a horrible deal in Syria where ISIS controlled real estate the size of Great Britain. We crushed them. Every president confronts challenges. This president confronted a challenge in Afghanistan. He has utterly failed to protect the American people from this challenge."

What's that old saying, "weakness is provocative." Along with the Islami-kazes of this world, the Russians, Iranians, Cubans, NorKs and most of all the Chi-Coms are laughing their asses off and champing at the bit. Aside from the fact that Joe Biden is a visibly demented near-octogenarian whose cognitive function is deteriorating now on a daily basis, he and his handlers are hell bent on doing anything and everything both domestically and internationally to weaken us, our citizenry and allies while emboldening, kowtowing and appeasing our enemies. He's taken a wrecking ball to our economy, our fossil fuel industry, our nuclear arsenal, our borders and national identity and the notion of comity, compromise and the rule of a just, stable law. And where is so-called quote-unquote "president" Joey Soft-Serve Custard? Why, he's on vacation at Camp David, totally incommunicado. Not to worry, though. We're told he plans on maybe addressing the nation in the "next few days" ("First, address the nation. 'Hello, nation!'").

Look, I'd be lying to you if I said that I believed we should never have been in Afghanistan in the first place. But like all but the wisest of you, I too was deceived by the intelligence community - the same intelligence community that worked overtime to sabotage Trump in 2016 and finally succeeded in 2020 - as well as those who want endless wars for the sole purpose of enriching themselves. But doing what Biden and his handlers did is just the height of irresponsibility and cluelessness. Yet that is the left; everything they believe in is 180 degrees out of phase with reality because they see the world as they want to see it, without any clue as to how it actually operates.

With Biden and that bloated disgrace to the uniform Vanilli Milli claiming the Afghan government can handily defeat the Taliban, and Malig-Nancy Pelosi saying Biden is "to be commended," somewhere Baghdad Bob is shaking his head and having a good chuckle. It's cold comfort knowing that anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together can see that they look like abject idiots. But lest we forget how we got here in the first place.

When Bush won, he brought with him a cabal of staffers broadly known as "neoconservatives" who distinguished themselves from traditional Republicans by ignoring deficit spending and strongly supporting interventionist foreign policy with a heavy emphasis on protecting and advancing America's petro-allies in the Middle East. Months after September 11, 2001, the Bush Administration diverted America's response to terrorism by seeking a revenge war in Iraq.

Oh, what a bitter harvest we have reaped.

History acquitted those chicken-little voices that warned of never-ending wars, ballooning deficits, and the dangers of bloated and politicized intelligence agencies. I admit it. I was wrong about Bush. He was a disaster.

We're reminded of this point as we watch the humiliating withdrawal of U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Bush's critics, who seemed so wrong at the time, have been proven right in the sweep of history. The Iraq and Afghanistan wars turned into the very quagmires that the liberals predicted. The Intelligence Agencies were allowed to pursue and harass Muslims in the United States -- even setting some up in "Truman Show"-style prosecutions in which the FBI planned and financed almost every detail of terrorism plots to ensnare lonely, mentally disabled Muslim men. The civil liberties of these "terrorists" didn't seem very important at the time. The liberals warned that these tactics set dangerous precedents that might later be applied to larger and larger swaths of the public.So would any of this have been different had Al Gore been elected president? . . .

. . . The awful legacy of George Bush split the Republican party during the 2016 presidential campaign. When Trump correctly criticized neocons for their fruitless wars, they became enraged. Until Trump, the pseudo-intellectual near-imperialists wrapped themselves in a protective costume of patriotic rhetoric. Then Trump said the obvious truth that nobody dared speak: these wars are bad for American interests abroad and at home. The Bush Republicans became Hillary Clinton supporters. . .

. . . What did nearly two decades in Afghanistan and Iraq buy us? Thousands of American dead and trillions more in debt, and Afghanistan is swiftly returning to its pre-invasion configuration. Lots of government contractors and retired generals grew very rich pouring American treasure into the land-locked and barren land. The Bushes themselves have become fabulously wealthy, worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Meanwhile it will take many more years for America to recover from their endless wars and crippling debt.

We can debate the "what-ifs" from now until Armageddon, which by all appearances could be any day now. That said, after 20 years we are left with our blood and treasure wasted, America coming apart at the seams, an elitist oligarchy in concert with a growing surveillance state, feral intel and law enforcement and woke corporatists as its enforcers and global jihad and Marxist-Leninism on the march.

What are our prospects? Over dinner late last week, CBD reminded me that we are now a fundamentally unserious nation. Not looking good around here, my friends.

Right. The Taliban *is* the Afghan army for all intents and purposes. You can't move that fast if you're being opposed. Hell, you can't move that fast unless you're being *assisted.*

The Army didn't oppose (or joined up), and the citizenry was clearly helping. Therefore, by default and in reality (if not on paper), the Taliban is the state. And the people accept them. They can have them. China's up next in the graveyard of empires.

35 Yes, I do indeed blame Biden for what is happening now. The Deep State gets its share of the blame as well. However, I reserve my most intense ire for the GOPe and the MSM. The press is truly the enemy of the people, and the GOPe is simply the Washington Generals to the DNC's Harlem Globetrotters.

Without the MSM, Biden wouldn't have been anywhere near the Oval Office. They dragged his carcass over the finish line, and to this day hide the cheating that took place to get him into the WH. The Democrats are always going to Democrat, but without the MSM they would be a rump party.

I blame the press more than anyone else for this fiasco. They averted their eyes to the obvious, and allowed this country to be stolen right before ours.

++++
This article was something of a letdown, perhaps because I have a very different vision of the end of the world. The article is about - sort of - Musk's vision for colonizing Mars, bunker construction and other evidence of TEOTWAKI. I doubt any of that is necessary. The world as we know it is ending before our eyes. It is happening, and happening right now. The Postwar order is cracking to pieces. I don't know what comes next, whether it will be good or bad (or bad or very bad), or anything else - but our world is ending before our eyes. This doesn't mean that cities are destroyed like in a Roland Emmerich movie and it doesn't mean a mass casualty event and it doesn't mean most people vanish - at least not necessarily.

But it does mean that all the rules change more or less constantly, there is no baseline and no stability, thriving is hard and so is survival. But a bunker - or Mars - won't address that.

59 In such revolutionary times, no one knows any more what is and is not a crime. Illegally storming the border when positive for COVID-19? Destroying a public statue of George Washington or Thomas Jefferson? Looting a corporate chain store? Knocking out an Asian-American septuagenarian? Or turning over the tables of Jewish-Americans as they eat? Taking over municipal blocks and declaring the confiscation an autonomous zone? Not crimes. "Illegal parading" inside the U.S. Capitol building? Crime.

I didn't catch either. I thought it was a riff on the programming language concept of "Hello, World." (the first basic exercise when learning a programming language is getting the program to output "Hello, World" - it demonstrates how to get text on screen or paper, which is a vital first step)

They won't ever realize it. It's the fatal conceit. They don't understand (or refuse to understand, perhaps) that the systems they want to control are organic.

117 Excellent introduction, JJ, among your best ever.
I was one of those chicken-little voices albeit for another reason. I knew Iran would fill the post-Saddam void and that, too, happened. I knew my opposition had been vindicated in 2007 when Bush was exhorting us to "fight them over there so we don't have to fight them here" and he then threw the border wide open.

The Imperial Capitol has been just as much at war with me ever since. As horrific as the Taliban is, their crushing victory over the Banana Empire actually inspire hope that we also can prevail in the long run.

Finally, prayers for those whose loved ones were killed and maimed to enrich the evil and placate the psychopaths. Every family who lost love ones after the fenerals disobeyed Trump's withdrawal plans would be dully justified to feed those bastards lead sandwiches.

145 Morning, all,

I'm waiting to head over to the clinic to have my blood drawn, which means I have not been able to eat anything or drink anything but water since about 8 pm last night. Another 90 minutes to go, I guess.

Do you really think cities will have people checking the vax cards? I just have to fill mine out and slip it into the plastic sleeve I bought. As JJ suggested, I'd only use it for a restaurant or a store -- though right now only the city proper is requiring the foolish things. Eventually the suburbs will follow suit.

195 President Trump and Secretary Pompeo's policies and speeches on this matter are clearly preserved in the archives for all to see. There is plenty to sort through at DoS, DoD and the White House archive. The media knows exactly where to find them, they choose not to.

This was never going to be the outcome President Trump would get. It was made very clear in the intro-Afghan talks, it was also evident on the ground. This would be a conditional withdrawal and every time the Taliban broke those conditions they paid a price. I defy the media to go back and prove me wrong. Because yesterday I found no less then 8 articles discussing how we retaliated militarily against the Taliban for breaking agreements.

That Biden and his cast of clowns would even try to blame this on anyone else is pathetic.

As the place fractures - and I think it will, whether officially and declared or not - the places where the urban or university doctrine is dominant (the Left, for lack of a better word) will enslave the countryside. The places where the non-urban and non-university doctrine is dominant (the Right, for lack of a better word) will crack down hard on the cities and force them into desocialization, complete with occupation.

225 This story isn't going away anytime soon. This is just the beginning. If you believe the Taliban are just going to peacefully coexist you're either extremely ignorant or part of the con. They are already coordinating with Iran and other state terrorist actors. This presages an entire new line of attack on the United States and our allies. It is supported by Russia and a China for that very reason. It will tie up resources and manpower that should really be devoted to defending against those hostile nations.

227 We are no longer a "serious nation" because we want to have the European capacity for trendy ideologies and irresponsibility. But, given our responsibility for the safety of frivolous people everywhere (the Brits admitted that with the Americans gone, the other western countries had no choice but to leave afganistan), this is the most dangerous possible choice. Now the "serious" countries are China, Russia, and Iran, while we become a European party nation, playing at tigers.

We can't afford the stupidity of irresponsibility but are insisting on it.

This didn't end without defeat. We withdrew without victory. That said, we still are (or were) in a position to make terms and do things with a minimum of disaster. Trump was taking that path - minimize disaster, maximize leadership, and enforce the conditions of the deal until we're out of the theater. That approach would likely have bought us six or 12 months of relative stability post-withdrawal and an utter absence of visceral humiliation.

Biden's cabal, though, managed to fuck this up about as catastrophically as possible. They've minimized leadership while maximizing disaster and humiliation.

When I was in a college, I had a classmate who came from a small family farm. He was also a hard core international socialist and his hobby horse and grand plan was to implement a system to achieve "the global redistribution of nutrition."

I pointed out once during a class when he started caterwauling about it that we *have* exactly that system now and the foreign aid complex - both cash and in-kind - only exacerbates the underlying problems by propping up the warlords and thieves who cause famines in the first place. The class derailed from that point forward and the prof asked me to stop needling him or we'd never get on track per the syllabus.

354 Saint of the Day: (1)

St. Roch, (aka Rocco) was born in Montpellier, France, the son of the city's governor. He was born with a red cross on his chest, a sign that the Virgin Mary answered his mother's prayer to heal her barrenness. His parents died when he was twenty, after which he gave his wealth to the poor and handed the government of the city over to his uncle. Free from earthly cares, he set off as a pilgrim for Italy. When he came upon a town badly struck by the plague, he sojourned there to help the sick. He cured many people by making the Sign of the Cross over them. When he reached Piacenza he himself contracted the disease in his leg, and awaited death in a remote forest. A count's hunting dog found and befriended him, brought him food, and licked his wounds. The count, who followed his dog one day, discovered the saint and aided him in his recovery. St. Roch's health was restored, after which he returned to his native Montpellier. He refused to disclose his identity to the townspeople so that he could remain poor and unknown.

358 Saint of the Day (2)

This secrecy aroused suspicion that he might be a spy, and he was cast into prison by his own uncle, who did not recognize him. St. Roch died in prison five years later. His identity was then discovered by the red cross birthmark on his chest. At his funeral, many miracles attested to his sanctity, and a church was erected for his veneration. St. Roch is the patron saint of dogs, surgeons, invalids, bachelors, and against plague and pestilence. His feast day is August 16th.

There is a segment of Judaism that views Fundamentalist Christians that merely want to peacefully evangelize to Jews as far more dangerous then Islamists. Which is beyond weird.

When we invaded North Africa during WWII, no one was sure as to whether or not we would make progress (let alone win). We did something interesting with regard to war money. Money in-theater was different and distinct from money at home and in banks around the world. The normal money had a green seal printed on it, and the theater money had a yellow seal. If we lost and had to withdraw from the theater (or were massacred), the government back home could repudiate the theater money and print new money based on the reserves that the repudiation freed up.

That was a very good idea, and one we've never used since. This kind of shit would be a lot harder if "red seal" money was suddenly repudiated.

439 NYTimes:
In late March, [Lloyd] Austin and [Mark] Milley made a last-ditch effort with the president by forecasting dire outcomes in which the Afghan military folded in an aggressive advance by the Taliban. They drew comparisons to how the Iraqi military was overrun by the Islamic State in 2014 after U.S. combat troops left Iraq, prompting Obama to send U.S. forces back.

"We've seen this movie before," Austin told Biden, according to officials with knowledge of the meetings.

But the president was unmoved. If the Afghan government could not hold off the Taliban now, aides said he asked, when would they be able to? None of the Pentagon officials could answer the question.

Decades ago, after watching the lone "conservative" on tv news shows always be repellent, figured out that this was intention. Make the "conservative" so weak and unlikeable that it makes viewers disregard that side.

Jen Rubin is a placeholder and a FU to any WashPost conservative who would want a valid conservative providing analysis and opinions on the latest topics in the WashPost. She's not just an awful, cartoonish not conservative aleged "conservative" voice at the paper there to turn off anyone who might be open to hearing a non-progressive voice, but she's taking the place of someone who could be more effective.

Instead we make weasel-y, "limited strikes" on the enemies who attacked us, then pour trillions of dollars and thousands of American lives into trying to rebuild their backwards countries into something better for them -- only to watch shit like what's happening now, decades and trillions of dollars later.

471 374 Taliban sources saying that an agreement has been reached between US and Taliban, after which US forces have taken control of the security of Kabul Airport and Taliban won't enter the airport until the decided deadline.

Victory for the Biden "administration!" - CNN, MSNBC, FOX, NBC, ABC, CBS

Either that, or the Taliban is currently weighing if it's more important to humiliate America and continue taking over the airport.

Posted by: Lady in Black at August 16, 2021 07:56 AM (O+I8R)


Joey has probably told the Taliban that if they kill Americans at the airport, intentionally or accidentally, bombers will hit Taliban camps hard. At this point, the Taliban has won - why take casualties by pissing-off Biden? They know he's unstable.

Also, military theory says it is good to leave your enemy an avenue of retreat. This often makes the enemy grunts less willing to fight when they are cornered.

520 I just hope Milley gave those Afghan "soldiers some Woke training, so they can convince their Taliban friends to be nice to women and gays. THAT is priority #1. /s (or is that just for America's military, to intentionally weaken US?)

I keep hearing people say this (including other actions, including economic) looks like a deliberate surrender to China, helping them become the global power. My guess -- "They" just want to crush American Spirit, preparing the way for their NWO. But "build back better" may not leave the Davos Crowd comfortably in control of the global masses, as they seem to dream. (even if their next contagion kills off a few billion)

604 Media regrouping in the Oval Office, what.

605 They will get hold of themselves and return to the narrative by mid-week.

Where else can they go? As predictable as a cul de sac.

607 Just like Nero and Rome, Biden is busy (kiddie-) fiddling while Afghanistan burns.

608 That picture of Joe Biden, in what must be the Situation Room at Camp David, shows him all alone.

Embedded, no. They did it right in the town square.

610 "Is there evidence that Biden is still alive?"

"This is actually a serious question."

Heh. Just like the old days: Soviet Leader Misses Military Parade, Analysts Perplexed

613 As much as I winced at it, I have to remind myself that it was always most likely to end this way, i.e. total humiliation. Some like the late Tony Blankley were writing to warn against this futile project 15+ years ago. This was not dorm-room Marxist rabble-rousing, this was a sincere plea to abandon the "dream" trillions of $ ago. This zombie GWOT was revived specifically at that point as a political flank for Martha's Vineyard Party Boy.

Nobody believed, with the retard in chief and vice retard/comfort woman, we'd really make it to the 2nd week of Sept. C'MON MAN

615 Saw a headline on Bad Blue -- Everyone from Apple to Cuomo is thinking: "If Only I had Waited One Week."
