Adam Taylor – Washington Post March 9, 2026
The Trump administration has ordered more U.S. diplomats to leave the Middle East, an indication of the ongoing security threat posed by Iran’s retaliatory attacks more than a week into the conflict.
An “ordered departure” went out Monday to nonessential American staff and their families at the U.S. Consulate in Adana, in southern Turkey, according to the State Department. A similar notice had been sent Sunday to staff at the U.S. diplomatic mission in Saudi Arabia.
Additional mandatory departures could be imminent. U.S. diplomats were coordinating on an “overland evacuation” contingency plan for the remaining U.S. personnel at the consulate in Irbil to travel to Turkey, according to a State Department cable from last week reviewed by The Washington Post. American staff at the U.S. missions in Baghdad and Irbil were ordered to leave the country last week, but a core group of personnel remain.
In an email sent to staff Saturday, a senior State Department official expressed concern for those affected, noting how ordered departures from U.S. missions can bring “uncertainty” for diplomats and their families. “Please check in with one another, take care of your own well-being and make use of Department resources as needed,” Jason S. Evans, undersecretary for management, wrote in a message to those affected throughout the Middle East.
The State Department did not respond to request for comment.
The latest departure orders, more than a week after the joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran’s military and political leadership began Feb. 28, are likely to add to criticisms of State Department leadership accused of being caught off-guard by the attacks and Iran’s response.
“The State Department prepares and plans for crises and evacuations constantly, and I have heard no good justification for why more was not done to ensure the safety of Americans earlier,” said Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (New Hampshire), the ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
The State Department previously issued ordered departure notices to U.S. personnel in Bahrain and Kuwait while several staff and their families in other countries were authorized for voluntary departures.
The danger facing U.S. diplomatic facilities does not appear isolated to countries near the Persian Gulf and Israel. The U.S. Consulate in Karachi, in Pakistan, came under attack by a large crowd March 1, leading to the deaths of at least 10 people who were shot by police.
A bit more truth about casualty numbers may start getting out if embassy staff from West Asia are sent home. They could tell family some realities and they could tell friends and so forth. It’s human nature. At least these staffers look like being brought home. Can’t say the same for displaced US troops across the Middle East. They may have to find their own way home or at least try to reach a US consulate or a friendly embassy, but it could be a very dangerous journey for some of them and probably not all of them will make it.
CONSCRIPTION Keir Starmer in stupid conscription blunder – no one will fight after filling the UK with migrants, taxing the balls of us and with treacherous threat to veterans
Story by Harvey Jones
Our own PM has never put British interests first, even though he’s supposed to be leading the country. He repeatedly places his own country’s interests second, making us subservient to his personal god Rothschild,
As fears grows that the Iran conflict could turn into World War III, there’s even been talk of a return to conscription. Britain may be far from that point, and hopefully it stays that way, but the idea isn’t theoretical. Ten European countries already have the draft, while Croatia has announced compulsory military service. Germany has been considering similar steps. Even the United States has refused to completely rule out a draft if tensions with Iran escalate.
Nobody knows who might be called up, what the upper age limit would be, or what punishments would face those who refuse. Yet one issue has barely been raised. Why would anyone want to fight for an establishment that may stab them in the back afterwards? Because that’s what government does to us.

One of the worst of Epsteins abusers
Harvey Weinstein left ‘bleeding on the floor’ after prison assault
Story by Bethany Whittingham
•Disgraced jewish producer Harvey Weinstein claims he was “punched hard” and left bleeding on the floor whilst serving a 16-year prison sentence. The Hollywood mogul, who was found guilty of rape and sexual assault by courts in New York and Los Angeles, has opened up about his life “under siege” at Rikers Island. The 73-year-old sex offender told The Hollywood Reporter: “One time while I was waiting to use the phone, I asked the guy in front of me if he was done.”
He got off and punched me hard in the face. I fell on the floor, bleeding everywhere. I was hurt really badly. The cops asked me who had done it, but I couldn’t say. You can’t be a rat. That’s the law of the jungle.” Weinstein was put behind bars at the Queens “hellhole” while awaiting a retrial for the third time on charges of raping an actress inside a Midtown hotel.”He got off and punched me hard in the face. I fell on the floor, bleeding everywhere. I was hurt really badly. The cops asked me who had done it, but I couldn’t say. You can’t be a rat. That’s the law of the jungle.” Weinstein was put behind bars at the Queens “hellhole” while awaiting a retrial for the third time on charges of raping a young actress inside a Midtown hotel.
The producer is mentioned many times in the epstein files
His health is declining and spends most of his day in his cell without human interaction for up to 23 hours a day. The only people he speaks with are the guards and the nurses who care for him, and he admits he now lives a “lonely” life.
He claimed his fellow inmate “constantly threaten and deride” him, for his child rapes adding that he “wouldn’t last long” among the general population in the secure unit. He told the publication: “It’s too dangerous for me to be around anyone else. Other inmates get to go to the yard. But every time I’m out there, I feel like I’m under siege.”
When asked if he was worried about dying in jail, the criminal admitted that the premise “scares the s**t out of him”. Weinstein explained: ” the court did not have the leniency to deal with me in a kinder way. Whatever they think I did bad in my life, at least I didn’t get the death penalty.”
I would just like to point out that this sentence is incorrect. “ The U.S. Consulate in Karachi, in Pakistan, came under attack by a large crowd March 1, leading to the deaths of at least 10 people who were shot by police.”
They were shot by US Marines, NOT THE POLICE.

The Spanish government has decided to withdraw its ambassador to Israel, according to the official state gazette.
The move on Wednesday comes as Spain has been one of the European Union’s foremost critics of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza and the new war on Iran launched by the United States and Israel

There is no such thing as American diplomats.
They are all spies, liars and bullies.
They are getting their filthy asses kicked and I feel fine.

The Great Satan Tries To Shift Blame To Satan’s Little Helper ~ Netanyahu’s HOUSE BOMBED!

What is or are “Diplomats”? Mediators they say! When all the western regimes are crooked as hell what does that make the Diplomats? A negotiater or go betweener who is enacting out a reality that has hardly anything to do with truth? In the early 80ties in Kwangju South Korea was a student revolt that turned very bloody and it was estimated by local Government sources that some 170 people were killed while “unofficial” and not very democratic sources claimed victims were in the low thousands while the local younger generations of Kwangju claimed around 20000 people were killed during the uprising with the help of American troops who were called in to help out the overwhelmed South Korean army and police. These days there is Wikipedia and its kosher version of the truth and Murican troops have only taken a tiny side roll if one at all. Anti American hatred in Kwangju was fierce and until the late 80ties there were demonstrations in Kwangju that were broken up regularly with tear gas and batons by paramilitary troops and police – in the name of democracy and a suppressed reality. It was a great experience working there in the late 80ties and constantly being mistaken as a Yankee on the way to have an evening meal in the heart of town. Reading about the uprising there these days one can only be astonished how much reality was wiped clean through so called DIPLOMACY!
JUSA orders diplomats to rearrange truth and there is soon no home left for Murica to come back to.
“Diplomats”, eh? Hardy har har. The Jewnited States’ idea of diplomacy in most parts of the whirled is to make them an offer they can’t refuse, mafia style but much more violent and bat-shit crazy. Allow them to rape, rob, and pillage or people start getting their teeth kicked in, their poop-chutes violently fisted, their leaders turned into compost, and their resources stolen. Except for the “ambassador” to Mordor, Kike Cuckabee, who stays bent over a garbage can with both ends wide open and willing.
How long before the US removes its diplomats/military from the Eurostan/Brittistan Caliphate?🤔
Discuss.
Then whose coat-tails will the U(nited) K(allyfat) cling to?🤔
Feel free to discuss.
