American Trapped in Kabul Explains 'Bogus'
Visa Email Sent to Thousands:
'Brain Worms'

Original Article

An American citizen trapped in Kabul, Afghanistan, recently spoke about receiving a "bogus" generic visa document from the U.S. State Department, which he said was sent out to thousands of others. David Fox, who runs a marketing firm in Kabul, told ABC News on Thursday that he recently tried to travel back to the U.S. but was unable to do so because of the massive crowds of people at Kabul's airport following the Taliban's takeover of the country.

Comments:

In one light, the collapse of Kabul is a deliberate delivery of arms to Pakistan and further east, and in that light, the Americans stuck in Kabul are hostages deliberately left behind to explain why the US military can't bomb those arms couriers. Once the weapons are delivered probably they can come home.

Fox, just wondering what you were marketing in Kabul. Surely, you weren't a missionary bringing Christianity to the tollybon?

Agreed #1. I don't get it. This clown is running a marketing company in Kabul? For what? Guns and ammo? The number of stories from Americans living in Afghanistan with families is just unbelievable. Was the money that good? As far as I'm concerned, if your that stupid to live in such a s hole of a country, then stay there and don't expect the American taxpayer or any military personnel to come rescue you. This is on you.

The money was said to be unbelievable, but you are literally taking your life into your own hands by living among the head choppers day to day. I have read that it was pretty easy to become a millionaire if you stayed for a few years in most jobs (except as an American soldier, of course), but was it really worth it given the events of this last few weeks?

Oh boy, Lara Logan appeared for an interview with Tucker Carlson and shouts a big trumpet. In essence, Ms. Logan points out the current situation in Afghanistan is exactly the outcome those controlling the Biden administration want. There is a benefit to someone or some group in the current outcome; because if there wasn’t, the outcome would be different. I happen to agree with this perspective because there are so many options that could have been taken before this point in the crisis was reached. We have seen this play out before [Bathtub Principle] where a crisis is created because the crisis has a purpose.

The Duke of Sussex is to publish an intimate memoir of his life, which he has vowed will be “accurate and wholly truthful”. The book, to be released late next year, will share the “definitive account” of his “experiences, adventures, losses, and life lessons”, publisher Penguin Random House announced on Monday night. It marks the first time a senior royal has ever written such a personal account of their life and the prospect of yet further damaging revelations is likely to send shockwaves through the Royal family.

ATLANTA   - President Donald Trump made a series of promises at a campaign event in Atlanta on Friday in a bid to woo Black voters, including establishing Juneteenth, which commemorates the end of U.S. slavery, as a federal holiday. Trump, who announced the promises less than 40 days before the November presidential election, also pledged to designate two groups as terrorist organizations: the white supremacist Ku Klux Klan and the amorphous movement known as antifa that opposes fascism. He also promised to increase access to capital in Black communities, create more jobs, support Black-owned businesses and expanding opportunity zones.   Corrections*

Ecuador is facing one of its worst ever economic crises this year according to the Central Bank of Ecuador (ECB). In projections presented last week, ECB says this crisis could be worse than the one seen in 1999 when the country’s currency collapsed. The ECB had said in January—before the virus outbreak and the plunge in the price of crude, Ecuador’s main export—that Gross Domestic Product (GDP) would likely grow 0.7% this year (snip) The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects a contraction of the country’s GDP by 6.7% in 2020.

With coronavirus cases on the rise and over 2,000 people in quarantine in New York City alone, it’s looking increasingly likely that many of us will have to spend some quality time at home in the next few weeks.

There are few more pitiful sights than the far-Left scuttling to keep the sacred flame of the Corbynista cult burning, in the debris of their historic defeat. Except, perhaps, the mutant rebirth of Remainers as “the moderates”, rising like a molting, two-headed phoenix from the ashes. The attempt by Britain’s retrograde political forces to reinvent themselves as forward-looking is quite something to behold. Teflon Tony has become Bold 2in1 Blair – whitewashing the Remainer rout by warning Labour itself not to “whitewash” the election result. This is, of course, centrist politician code for the urgent need to stage a cover up.

Joe Biden has badly, visibly bungled America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan. He has compounded the problem with his sluggish and dishonest public statements. This has gone so badly that even people and institutions that are normally sympathetic to Biden and his party have noticed. American allies have been appalled, and vocal about it. What is slowly dawning on people is that Biden’s critics were right about him all along. Not since James Buchanan has America had a president who came so prepared by experience for the job, yet had so little clue how to do it. That reality will be shoved from consciousness soon enough by people with a professional stake

The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and the resulting illness, COVID-19, has caused mass hysteria on a global scale. Perhaps no response is as shocking as what we see in Australia. The country is included in the group of western democracies globally and among the Five Eyes intelligence community members. Yet, the nation’s response to the pandemic can only be described as authoritarian. A COVID-19 Delta outbreak emerged in Australia in June. The country adopted a “Covid-Zero” strategy early in the pandemic. The government has repeatedly imposed draconian measures, rigorous testing, and closed international borders to eradicate the virus.

The State Department is offering little help other than warning Americans not to try going to the Kabul airport. A threat from ISIS, which had been defeated under the Trump administration, was behind the threat that triggered that warning. ISIS and al Qaeda are both evidently
