National Pulse: Biden's State Department Halted a Trump-Crafted Crisis Response Plan for Getting People Out of Hot Zones

Just dropped.

This wasn't specifically about Afghanistan, but about getting Americans out of any hot zone.

And I don't know how much I believe that any new bureaucratic unit would have fixed things.

Still. It is something, and something beats the Biden Administration's nothing every time.

Joe Biden's State Department moved to cancel a critical State Department program aimed at providing swift and safe evacuations of Americans out of crisis zones just months prior to the fall of Kabul, The National Pulse can exclusively reveal.

The "Contingency and Crisis Response Bureau" -- which was designed to handle medical, diplomatic, and logistical support concerning Americans overseas was paused by Anthony Blinken's State Department earlier this year. Notification was officially signed just months before the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan.

"SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED," an official State Department document from the Biden State Department begins, before outlining the following move the quash the Trump-era funding for the new bureau.

...

The document is dated June 11, 2021, though The National Pulse understands the decision to pause the program may have come as early as February, both undermining the original Trump-era date for the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, and certainly giving the Taliban time to threaten American assets and lives on the run up to Joe Biden’s September 11th date of withdrawal.

11 I think the main takeaway is that the Trump administration was prioritizing Americans in peril, and thinking about what to do if bad things happen, generally. Biden, not so much.

I want to know if Trump planned to abandon Bagram. I don't see the logic in that.

17 I doubt this was related to the withdrawal at all - not at the time. I am also very suspicious of the efficacy of a small team of citizen-extractors to operate in an open war zone mixed with bedlam during a complete fuckup like we're seeing in Afghanistan.

That said, this also left State with no response options following the military failure. Would those response options have helped? Search me. We'll never know, though, because they canceled the program.

And I doubt this was OrangeManBadism. It might have been, but the program was put into place after the Benghazi disaster - and nothing related to Benghazi can ever be permitted to survive or be spoken of. I suspect that Benghazi - not Trump - might have been the motivation behind shuttering the program.

There is a distinct possibility that this 11th-hour fuckup will cost more American lives than the preceding 20 years of combat operations. We've lost something like 2,500 service men and around 5,000 contractors over the course of the war. Biden could top that with the withdrawal. I really hope not, but it looks grim.

This catastrophe is one of multiple failures at multiple high-level power centers:

The Presidency
The Pentagon / DOD

The Intelligence Community.

The failure from any one of these power centers would be a big deal. The collective failure of ALL OF THEM, AT ONCE, is catastrophic.

Picking Biden for VP was as cynical as picking Harris was. Obama needed a foil - an old, experienced white guy to bring in the middle America labor Democrat vote - who could also act as assassination insurance. Biden fit the bill and did his job. Obama never liked Biden, and neither did anyone else. They needed a retarded doofus who posed no threat and looked normal and had a history they could claim was a "pedigree" to get fence-sitters over the line for Obama.

So let's see. There are about 350 million Americans. 18.37% of them - or about 64 million - are under 14 and thus ineligible for vaccination. So that mes that the number of unvaccinated persons in scope for the shots is around 21 million, or only 7.3% of the eligible population. I call bullshit on the figure - it is *much* higher than 85 million.

If that is *already* exclusive of under-14s, then it is 29.7% unvaccinated - or in other words the 70% target has been hit and they're moving the goal posts.

The State Dept is in a better position to know how many Americans are in a country at any one time. Ideally they coordinate with the military to ensure that there's a plan in place, but the military can't be everywhere at once, and may have other priorities.

251 The post WWII order was starting to crumble in the mid nineties, but got a reprieve by 9/11 and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. What we're seeing is that simply gave time for institutions to rot from the inside out, and for social, economic, and cultural pressures to build up.

A socked commenter in an earlier thread suggested something so cynical that even I (the Prince of Cynicism) didn't think of it:

This was designed as a way to give the Taliban lots of weapons and cash (a la Iran) while at the same time importing tens of thousands of jihadis into the U.S.

256 It's going to prove out that one doesn't need squadrons of F-15s or nukes to "overthrow" the U.S. Government.

Nope. Ya just needs the right sets of misfits IN and RUNNING said U.S. Government, and it'll soon beclown itself right out of existence, as formed.

Question is, will the United States of America survive the incipient unplanned and disordered dissolution of it's own government? Every opportunity for every bad foreign actor to actually DO every bad thing, will then exist in that open window between the Fall, and whatever passes as a patch, band-aid, or New Government to take the place of the failure of the illicit Junta now masquerading in D.C.

Cassandra? Maybe, but I think the odds are right now, more of a realistic chance than anytime since the War of 1812 or the Civil War, itself. Buy ammo, food, generators, fuel and Bibles.

You're not wrong. But being right about the distribution of deck chairs on the Titanic only gets you so far.

Things are not all doom and gloom. But this is primarily because there has probably never been another population better situated to prepare for what is coming and make it through to the other side. At least if we can overcome the inertia that comes from living comfortably.

Unless things manage to spiral downhill even faster, about the best we can hope for is to see the right split into a public facing carrot wing and an underground stick wing.

DeSantis can do far more damage outside of the WH. Trump is fine there. At worst, he makes everybody miserable there, and I have a feeling the strategy would be much different. Instead of trying to get things passed, he can screw each member of congress 8 ways to Sunday. At least the brakes would be put on for 4 years.

373 The big sign to me that this is all deliberate is moving the withdrawal to 9/11.

When Hitler defeated France, he literally had his people raid a museum and grab the very train car where the Armistice of Compiègne was signed so he could force the French to surrender in it. Actually changing the withdrawal timetable specifically to hand the US the L on 9/11 is the sort of thing that only someone who truly despises America as much as Hitler hated France would do. And as far as I have seen it reported, the initiative came from the Biden Admin, not the Taliban.

Neither, I think.

393 294 The nurses in one of the EDs i work in all refuse the vaccine. It will be interesting to see what happens if corporate tries to mandate it.
____________

From what I understand, the vaccine is not a good idea for many people.

If you've already had and recovered from the China virus, as the CDC estimates something like 120 million Americans have done, you already have natural antibodies that your immune system produced, and these give you a much more robust and longer-lasting immunity than the vaccine does. Getting the vaccine in this case not only doesn't help you, it could actually make you have less immunity to variants in the future.

And for those who have natural immunity to the virus, which is a large percentage of the population, getting the vaccine also doesn't protect them, and it can screw with their immune system and make them more vulnerable to virus variants, as well as other conditions.

So all this "everybody must get vaccinated" bullshit is not only bad policy, it's bad science too.

Posted by: 496 at August 18, 2021 03:57 PM (VJsqe)

402 Didn't read the more at the link, so maybe I'm way off here. But a bureau-level operation to handle contingencies could be something of a formality. Usually these situations are handled by task forces that are often set up for a region/country in question - these themselves are mini-bureaus and typically have $ and policy priority because the issue they're dealing with is "hot". At least this is the way it's been for many years, and is sort of common-sensical.

But obviously there's not excuse, in the A'stan case, for not having a very robust, very well worked out set of plans for a major evac. This is not Brazil or Malaysia or something. And it's been an active war zone of ours for 20 effing years.

But my uninformed sense is that this is kinda sorta like the Trump adiministration disbanding the "pandemic" task force - made literally zero difference in terms of results, but is a Nerf Bat of Partisan Stupidity with which to wow the LIVs and beat up on your opponent. Who, in this case, can be beaten into dust with much more substantive issues.

The reason more people think we are on the wrong track than in the Spring is because of the reinstatement of the mandates and going backwards on opening things up. Coupled with the vaccine passports and mask mandates(they extended airline masking until January today) people are depressed realizing they are never going to let us get back to normal. If they insist on masking children and then closing schools whenever there is a single case, it will never be normal again.

As I said, covid is the monster movie people are watching to distract themselves from the real horror in the world around them. The covid narrative is all our puppet rulers have. It got the biden-turtle up on the post. They don't see a need for anything else. It was necessary and sufficient.

Ernest was going to race Paul on speedboats, but in the end, they team up to tug a supertanker full of fentanyl down the Hudson, and jump it into the second story of an abandoned warehouse.

If the Left really did have complete control of our electoral process, we'd be way further along they we are now. Every election would be 50 blue states. They can't help themselves and just "sort of" win.

You forgot playing cards, books, and booze. But I agree with you. If you live in a community, NOW is the time to get out and meet with your neighbors who are like minded and build relationships. Someone with all the goodies in the world like those oligarchs are going to find out that once that rule of law ends, they are in it up to their necks as well and without friends, someone else will be enjoying their goodies and trophy spouses.

505 people are depressed realizing they are never going to let us get back to normal. If they insist on masking children and then closing schools whenever there is a single case, it will never be normal again.

School board two towns over for me mandated masks for all district schools. The vote passed unanimously.

522 443 America has gone through elections that were more rigged than the last one.

I'm not in the "votes no longer count and it's hopeless" camp. I do think people that spread that sentiment are creating a self fulfilling prophesy.

If the Left really did have complete control of our electoral process, we'd be way further along they we are now. Every election would be 50 blue states. They can't help themselves and just "sort of" win.
Posted by: Blago at August 18, 2021 04:03 PM (zh4hP)

Do you realize that the logical implication of there not being massive fraud is that Republicans can't win elections on a national scale? If it's fraud there's some possibility of overcoming it. If Georgia is really as blue as having two D senators suggests, you're screwed.

526 "If the Left really did have complete control of our electoral process, we'd be way further along they we are now."

I guess I look at it from a different angle. It does us no good to recognize when the Left has complete control, the trick is identifying and stopping it before reaching the inflection point that turns south. Because there will be a lag time between when our votes don't matter and we know our our votes don't matter.

I believe Joe's current plan is to do nothing that risks might result in US military casualties. If we take more KIA, or WIA amputees or terribly burned, among the troops Joe sent in to pull his chestnuts out of the fire, he knows he will be in deep, deep trouble. I believe the current mission he's given to DoD is to evac every American they can by August 31, without risking military life or limb, then bug-out. He sees American civilians left behind by his withdrawal f-ck up as acceptable collateral damage so long as no military personnel are KIA/WIA on his watch.

His effort to avoid US casualties must include payola to the Taliban. That's another scandal waiting to bite him.

537 Every embassy is supposed to submit emergency evacuation plans. I know I did, and when I tried to set up the materials and means of implementing such procedures I was stopped dead. The reason given was that a morally reprehensible creature wanted to leave the ambassador with no option but declare an early evacuation, leaving the entire staff helpless and at the mercy of a hostile local government.

When I returned to Washington I asked the office responsible for requesting and collecting the plans what measures they took to insure that the plans could be and would be implemented as proposed. I was told bluntly that their mandate was to insure such plans were submitted, not to insure they could be implemented, nor if the embassies in question had submitted a work of fantasy.

I have no reason to doubt anything State says is a lie.. They will happily sacrifice anyone so long as their lives and careers are not jeopardized. A bigger collection of STDs has never been gathered under one roof.


Every government agency needs to be eliminated. I do not know one functioning as intended. NAMBLA is more efficient, the Mafia more efffective, Pravda more honest.
