Introduction – Aug 15, 2021
Forward Taliban units have entered the Afghan capital as the country edges toward total collapse.
Nonetheless, as the U.S. and Britain hastily evacuate diplomatic staff from Kabul, U.S. officials seem in denial over what is happening, literally.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken told reporters that what was happening in Kabul was not a repeat of the U.S. withdrawal from Saigon. Instead he blamed the Afghan military for being “unable to defend the country”.
While President Biden has blamed Trump for a debacle that marks another low point in America’s decline as a global power. Ed.

Taliban fighters have entered Kabul and are seeking a ‘peaceful transfer of power’ with gunfire heard near the presidential palace as the extremists seized huge swathes of Afghanistan which is on the brink of collapse.
The militants were seen in the districts of Kalakan, Qarabagh and Paghman hours after taking control of Jalalabad, the most recent major Afghan city to fall to the insurgents as they make huge gains across Afghanistan.
The US evacuated diplomats from its embassy by helicopter as a Taliban spokesman said they were looking for a ‘peaceful surrender’ of the capital after meeting little resistance, while the British ambassador moved to a safe place to prepare for an evacuation.
Foreigners in Kabul have been told they should either leave or register their presence with Taliban administrators, while RAF planes were scrambled to evacuate 6,000 British diplomats, citizens and Afghan translators.
But acting defence minister sought to reassure the public that the capital would remain ‘secure’ despite the gains made by the Taliban, as the country’s president Ashraf Ghani fled the country.
Helicopters buzzed over Kabul to evacuate personnel from the US Embassy, while smoke rose near the compound as staff destroyed important documents.
Taliban leader Mullah Baradar, who is based in Qatar, is heading to Afghanistan where he is expected to head the new interim government after the transfer which will see President Ghani relinquishing power.
The terror group said: ‘We don’t want a single, innocent Afghan civilian to be injured or killed as we take charge of Kabul but we have not declared a ceasefire.’
They added they do not intend to take Kabul ‘by force’ after entering the outskirts of the city, while Bagram air base, holding ISIS and Taliban fighters, was also surrendered by troops despite the hundreds of billions of dollars spent by the U.S. and NATO over nearly two decades to build up Afghan security forces.
An Afghan official earlier confirmed Jalalabad fell under Taliban control without a fight early Sunday morning when the governor surrendered, saying it was ‘the only way to save civilian lives.’
Its fall has also given the Taliban control of a road leading to the Pakistan city of Peshawar, one of the main highways into landlocked Afghanistan.
Besides Kabul, just seven other provincial capitals out of the country’s 34 are yet to fall to the Taliban after the military, which had been trained by the US, failed to stave off their attacks.
The Taliban are now closing in on the capital from all sides, controlling territories to the North, South, East and West and advancing to just seven miles south of the city.
Hoda Ahmadi, a lawmaker from Logar province, told The Associated Press that the Taliban have reached the Char Asyab district on the outskirts of the capital, which was gripped by blackouts, communications outages and street fighting overnight Saturday as the country descends into chaos.
A US defense official has warned it could be only a matter of days before the insurgent fighters take control of Kabul. Just last week, US intelligence estimates expected the city to be able to hold out for at least three months.
As the Taliban advance accelerates, the US is scrambling to evacuate more than 10,000 American citizens from the capital, with officials said to be trying to strike a deal for Taliban fighters not to descend on Kabul until the US can pull everyone out.
However, a senior US official told the New York Times the Taliban have warned the US it must cease airstrikes or else its extremist fighters will move in.
Joe Biden has vowed that any action that puts Americans at risk ‘will be met with a swift and strong US military response.’
A great plan to create waves of Islamic migrants for the west to take in under the guise of humanitarian asylum.
Every little helps the cultural and demographic genocide of the Goyim.
The US federal government WASTED $2.2 TRILLION on the unnecessary war in Afghanistan……..unnecessary because Israel and the Bush criminals did 911. So, Americans, when Medicare and Social Security are soon not funded, you can thank yourselves for being IDIOTS (if you believe the 911 LIE).
I agree with “Adolf was right”. The same scenario played out here the U.S. since Vietnam. Bomb and kill the native population; then ship the so called refugees here to the U,S. under the guise of political asylum since the enemy we were supposedly fighting will want to bomb and kill the same civilian population we were supposedly protecting.
It is the same Jew carnard exploited time and again: create the problem, react to the problem, and finally provide the solution without anyone being the wiser.
Maybe we should give the Taliban foreign aid to invade and destroy Israel.
We could raise the funds by clawing back all the money spent on bailouts, and also confiscate every last bit of property from all Jewish-owned financial institutions, followed by castrating all their executive staff and selling them as slaves to Afghanis. Castrated slaves bring more money, as the Jews found out when they were selling blond Slavs to the Muslims who had invaded the Iberian peninsula, after 711.
They never intended to win.
They need the trops at home, and or somewhere else.
There are new drugs in the jab, no need for opium.
This is more an indication of something else soon happening, on their agenda.
They can always get foreigners into White countries, but, as commenters imply, the acceptance part is harder so they need the tear-jerking ploy of making them “refugees” and “asylum seekers” and White countries the generous benefactor offering a shelter to those fleeing a wrecked country. No-one notices that after our wars we never skulked off, knocking on other people’s doors or that they have tons of space to work with if they wish to rebuild, or that they sometimes treat us like crap when they get here. Who has ever noticed any gratitude?
Nietzsche said what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger, and not only were the US-led allies not good enough to beat the Taliban, they further empowered them. The US must regret heavily arming the earlier incarnation of the Taliban, the Mujahideen, to fight the Russians for them. When Russia left Afghanistan and the US asked for its weapons back the Mujahideen said no because “the US always turns on its allies”.
The US flicks poop all around then wonders why everything it touches smells like s***.
The would-be ‘elite’ have lost interest in heroin perhaps? They’re making a ‘killing’ elsewhere though.
LOOK INTO : jim atone.is
USgovernment marking any blogowner as terrorist
who dont follows governments political correctness
directives like : the vote was not stolen + no fraud,
the covid vax is healthy + no fraud , white patriots
are terrorists, sodomy + pedophily is healthy + mandatory;
milions of ilegal 3rd worlders are enrichment .
etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc
Your headline says..”Afghan leader flees”….More like Afghan leader has done a bunk after being in charge of a corrupt government where everyone has been lining their pockets at the expense of the Afghanistan population. A failed and weak puppet government, unable to control trouble from within their own borders, because it was never really in control in the first place. The real deal is the Taliban, wether you like them or not, are strong, and were always the ones who were going to dominate proceedings.
well said ghost who walks
Seen on all US planes flying out of Kabul, trailing a big banner saying, “Mission Accomplished”……
R2b: Re “This is more an indication of something else soon happening, on their agenda.”
Spot-on. See this: “DHS: Opposing COVID Restrictions Equated to Terrorism”. Just in time for the 20th Anniversary of 9/11, the chickens have come home to roost:

wonderful how stupid unwise western
power elites never learning from history
spend afords + money into an islamic
hole without bottom !
let it be, let it be, mother mary said to me,
let it be !
Saigon 2.0.
They have 20 years worth of Opium, which will continue to flow.
No need for NATO forces anymore. The Taliban are OUR guys – bought and paid for. Just like ISIS.
The twitching witch the NZ PM Jacinda is currently manipulating the NZ public….letting them know that MORE Afghan fake refugees will be brought to New Zealand all with the cooperation of the Zio-controlled media.
Most NZers DO NOT WANT ANY MORE THIRD WORLD FAKE REFUGEES ENTERING NZ….it is as simple as that….but the majority opinion COUNTS FOR NOTHING IN FAKE DEMOCRACIES.
NZers need to take note of Arderns former employer in Britain….today THE most hated person in the whole country TONY BLIAR…..who opened the doors of Britain…..Today Britains cities are like the streets of Babylon with illegal immigrants from all over the world…..and Britains natives engaged in white flight to rural areas with no stabbers looking for victims.
KIWIS NEED TO LEARN THAT ARDERN IS A FUCKING FREAK WHO HAS NEVER ONCE BEEN PUT UNDER ANY PRESSURE BY THE MEDIA…..THEYRE HER MATES.
ARDERN if not stopped will jeopardize New Zealands future especially when the middle class can no longer carry the dual burden of paying for services for the unemployed AND paying the taxes of the non tax paying elites.
Ardern is like kryptonite to superman…..lethal.
Sorry Kiwis can no longer keep their head in the sand…..the HAG Ardern is a confidence trickster…and all front and no bollocks (watch this space,the point has been made that Ardern is some sort of sexual deviant)..
The general rule with third world immigrants is….at first they are grateful for being able to come to a first world country….once they become confident it, all changes…that’s why predominantly Muslim immigrants to Britain have been raping lower class British woman and got away with it for YEARS AND YEARS and the British government DID NOTHING.
LIKE THE AUSTRALIAN GOVT DOES NOTHING TO GET ONE OF ITS OWN CITIZENS RELEASED FROM THE BRITISH GULAG BRIXTON PRISON!!….ASSANGE….THE ELITES COULDNT GIVE A DAMN.
What about these leftists constantly harping on about wimmins rights…..thousands of Afghan wimmin in Afghanistan are running for their lives….
@ Ted, well said, nation wide strike if they try to lock us down here again
US trained freedom fighters that were present in the White House with Pres. Ronald Reagan. FACT. Feature article in Slate magazine as the lies come from my University of Afghan Studies and created under Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinski summer of 1979.
