  • LORD OF THE FLIES IN THE SWAMP

    LORD OF THE FLIES IN THE SWAMP

    Today was a bad, bad day for President Joe Biden. But maybe worse for the United States.. and global stability..

    The collapse of the Afghan government is the biggest foreign policy crisis of Biden’s presidency at this point..recalling setbacks for past presidents such as the withdrawal from Vietnam and the botched Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba. The AP wrote in a fresh dispatch that the reverberations of the Taliban’s success were startling, endangering Afghan women and girls, posing new security threats and threatening to undercut global views of America’s reliability..

    After Biden addressed the nation around 4pm, he flew back to Camp David again..

    As he boarded Marine One, an image of him saluting appeared to featuring him covered in the late summer flies of August.

    Other images showcased today are not pleasant.. they are actually graphic.

    The fall of Saigon and Kabul are perfectly compared in this photo, chilling in similarities:

    Other images were more harrowing.

    People hanging on for dear life as a plane leaving the nation was swarmed with civilians attempting to escape for their lives… At least two died as they fell from the aircraft as it reached into the sky..

    A war, 20 years in the making.. and an ending of the Taliban taking back over in just 20 hours …

    Disturbing reports are already emerging from Afghanistan as the government collapsed and the Taliban seized power once again nearly 20 years after being driven out by the West.

    There have already been reports throughout the advance of the Taliban of women being shot dead and girls as young as 12 being dragged from their homes to be “married”. Afghanistan’s descent into chaos has seen unverified reports emerge of thousands gathering to witness an execution in Kandahar at a sports stadium.

    The media began to turn on Biden tonight in pure feeding frenzy style — even the fans at CNN and MSNBC questioned the Commander in Chief over decisions made in the past few days.

    Decisions that included promises that the Taliban’s advance would NEVER be as fast it was..

    This unlikely paragraph appeared in CNN state media tonight:

    Throughout the weekend, Biden had remained at the presidential retreat, receiving briefings on screens or over the phone while sitting alone at conference table. Advisers huddled separately to discuss when and how he should address the situation. When he returned to the White House midday Monday, many of his aides assumed he would at least spend the night. Yet almost as soon as Biden touched down in Washington, word went out that his stay at the executive mansion would be brief. After his 18-minute speech, Biden quickly decamped again for the mountains.

    Meanwhile on Peacock: Former CIA Analyst and US veteran Matt Zeller said he was “appalled” by Joe Biden’s Afghanistan speech on Monday…

    But who lost?

    The military industrial complex?

    Those who made big pronouncements in 2001 when we invaded, all the while the smoke was still billowing out and embers were still smoldering at Ground Zero ….?

    Bush?
    Cheney?
    Obama?
    Trump?
    Biden?

    This war went on, and on, and on for 2 decades.

    5 presidents

    American service members killed in Afghanistan through April: 2,448.

    U.S. contractors: 3,846.

    Afghan national military and police: 66,000.

    Other allied service members, including from other NATO member states: 1,144.

    Afghan civilians: 47,245.

    Taliban and other opposition fighters: 51,191.

    Aid workers: 444.

    Journalists: 72.

    And just think.. the gay pride flag was flying over Kabul in June.

    Welcome to the new reality.. where that flag will never, ever fly again over Kabul or anywhere else in Afghanistan.

    All of that? Was for what…

    Nothing.

    War..

    What is it good for.

    Absolutely nothing.

  • T-Mobile nightmare

    T-Mobile nightmare

    Developing story has security experts worried, and should be forcing 100 million users to have equal fears.

    According to reports, a security breach of at least 100 million T-Mobile users has occurred.

    Along with the data that has been potentially breached, Social Security numbers, phone numbers, names, physical addresses, and even drivers license information..

    According to what is known, Tmobile was first alerted to the breach by a forum post in which a hacker claimed to be selling huge amounts of personal data on people.

    The alleged sleuth is requesting six bitcoin – or roughly $260,000 – in exchange for a subset of the data which contains 30 million social security numbers and driver’s licenses, VICE reports.

    The seller suggested that T-Mobile had already responded to the breach, adding: “I think they already found out because we lost access to the backdoored servers.”

    While the hacker has been removed from the hacked server, they claim they had already downloaded the data locally.

    October 2001: When the longest war began

    We found a great video on YouTube that profile some of the news coverage from October 2001 when the United States lead invasion of Afghanistan began.

    https://youtu.be/2ndbfr1qrkE

    And now, nearly 20 years later, thousands of United States soldiers injured and dead, tens of thousands of Afghan civilians killed. Trillion spent. And assurances from President Joe Biden in July that there would never be an immediate takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban.

    Despite all that, despite the war, and 20 years of division, the Taliban took over the entire nation in Capitol, route it out translators who helped United States, began to enforce a Burka policy on women, and stops females from working in the banking industry. All in hours.Despite all that, despite the war, and 20 years of division, the Taliban took over the entire nation in Capitol, route it out translators who helped United States, began to enforce a Burka policy on women, and stops females from working in the banking industry. All in hours.

    What are the war was a necessity or choice, and whether you feel it was successful as a venture or a failure, we know this: 20 years of military and tactical battle, all wiped out in 20 hours..

    A tale of two photos: Saigon to Kabul

    Clyde Lewis posted this yesterday, a photo comparing it with drawl mission from Saigon to the withdrawal mission from Afghanistan. Both look similar, with the Chinook helicopter front and center on top of a building that seemingly looks like it could be the same exact, just update it.

    Life is filled with synchronicity‘s. You never know what you’re going to get.
