Jack Davis – The Western Journal Sept 6, 2021
Operators of privately sponsored rescue flights are pointing the finger at President Joe Biden’s State Department, saying it is the sole barrier to getting Americans and Afghan allies out of Afghanistan.
White House officials have pushed back against that accusation.
Rick Clay, who runs the rescue group PlanB, was among those saying the State Department is the barrier to helping those desperate to escape the Taliban flee the country, according to Fox News.
The outlet reported that others it interviewed but did not name also blamed the State Department.
“This is zero place to be negotiating with American lives,” Fox News quoted one individual as saying.
“If one life is lost as a result of this, the blood is on the White House’s hands. The blood is on their hands. It is not the Taliban that is holding this up — as much as it sickens me to say that — it is the United States government,” the individual said.
Rescue flights seeking to land at al-Udeid airbase in Doha, Qatar, where military evacuations landed, need the State Department’s approval to land, Fox News reported.
“It is imperative that we get into Doha where there [are] other refugee centers,” Clay said. “That is where I’ve asked for clearance.”
Clay and the others interviewed by Fox News said the State Department has put up hurdle after hurdle to block private flights from landing in nearby countries.
“If we can get aircraft in and pick up people and bring them out, why can’t we take them to Doha to the refugee center or other refugee centers?” Clay said. “This makes no sense.”
“We still have Americans we can get out,” he said.
Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who has been trying to help PlanB navigate the red tape of Washington, said it was “hard to believe that the U.S. government would deny American citizens and Afghan allies who helped save American lives the ability to evacuate Afghanistan.”
“However, what we’ve been hearing from people actually involved in evacuation is completely different from the administration’s rosy spin,” he said. “When I hear President Biden declare this debacle an ‘extraordinary success’ it not only shows he’s detached from reality, it also calls into question everything this administration is telling the American people.”
Joe Biden abandoned Americans in Afghanistan. Members of Congress, including me and my office, have been working around the clock to get them out – and for days Biden's State Dept. couldn't even get out of its own way. Now there are deeply disturbing reports of a hostage crisis. https://t.co/EMGd5wWGxs

Concerns about private rescue flights follow comments from Republican Rep. Mike McCaul of Texas on Sunday that Taliban officials were not allowing six planes loaded with evacuees to leave from a northern Afghanistan airfield. McCaul said the U.S. could be facing a hostage situation linked to American recognition of the Taliban government.
On Sunday, the State Department issued a general statement on the subject of private evacuation flights.
“We understand the concern that many people are feeling as they try to facilitate further charter and other passage out of Afghanistan,” the department said, according to The New York Times. “However, we do not have personnel on the ground, we do not have air assets in the country, we do not control the airspace — whether over Afghanistan or elsewhere in the region.”
Evil has no limits, especially when serving greed which has no limits. Slavery, mass homelessness, mass starvation, mass poverty, mass murder of the unproductive and the expensive to keep. It’s all fair game in the pursuit of profits. Your life is only worth something if it’s worth something to them. Take that away and they’d sooner end your life. Same with livestock, race horses, foxhounds, breeding pairs, foreigners.
For some it’s personal but for most it’s just business while for the US anything goes if it serves business.
The current US Sec of State is a JEW named Blinken. This explains why the evacuation operations in Afghanistan were such a disaster. Blinken is a Satanist.

@waw literally half the british government are foreigners. the mayor of london is an arab. if i didn’t detest the british i’d be angry, but what’s the point? they’re getting exactly what they deserve for all those years of ‘woke’. what a bunch of wankers the british are.
It used to be that western governments considered their citizens important enough to rescue them from harm’s way, but not any more. You are on your own, act accordingly and wisely. The blatant disregard for the rights of Julian Assange as a citizen are telltale signs, along with the ongoing abuses toward otherwise law abiding citizens in Melbourne.
For a soldier, the reward is a posthumous purple heart for the brazen stupidity and incompetent carelessness of their government. For the civilian, there is no longer a reward for loyalty to one’s country, except abandonment, internment and death.
Don’t worry…the mobs of mongrel Afghan scum will arrive safely in the USA, UK, Germany, Australia, Canada etc….they’ll be housed in new apartment complexes & will be given free money, cars, food & white women for the rest of their lives in whatever western nation they come to…but hey, don’t do anything about, just keep watching your porno vids, get a new tattoo, smoke your weed, watch your simian sports & pray to Jesus…
