CIA Cut Deal Bringing "Afghan Zero Unit"
Fighters, Including Accused Guardsman
Killer To The U.S.

Original Article

Posted By: J. Arthur Brown, 11/29/2025 10:41:12 AM

The Afghan national who has been charged with shooting two members of the West Virginia National Guard this week was reportedly a member of the elite Afghan "Zero Unit" forces backed by the CIA -- with the U.S. spy agency apparently having struck a deal to bring thousands of the fighters and their families to the United States. . . . the terms of the deal were that if the Zeroes helped secure Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA) during the chaotic non-combatant evacuation operation (NEO) . . . the fighters and their families would earn an airlift to the U.S..

Comments:

The article details the "bargain" which brought the killer of the WV National Guardsman and his family to the US and provides extensive background on the CIA "zero units" in which he served. Explains why standards for "vetting" foreigners to fight against a common enemy abroad are insufficient to vet someone for immigration to the US.

How long was this guy assisting American interests? We were in Afghanistan for 20 years. The shooter was 29. When did he start working with American forces? This story implies less than a year. Another story had him working with forces on missions and even getting shot which would imply he worked longer. Is someone spreading misinformation about him?

FTA: Joe Kent, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), tweeted on Friday that “it is true that the terrorist who conducted the attack in D.C. was ‘vetted’ by the intelligence community. However, he was only vetted to serve as a soldier to fight against the Taliban, AQ, & ISIS IN Afghanistan, he was NOT vetted for his suitability to come to America and live among us as a neighbor, integrate into our communities, or eventually become an American citizen.” " So much for the "voting".

Of what benefit is the CIA to America? Sounds like they are just a rogue agency with zero accountability that just robs, betrays and kills for their own benefit. Like with the FBI, I suspect we would be far better off if they were shut down and replaced by nothing.

How many covert Taliban double agents had infiltrated those CIA “zero” units and were flown to the USA with their families at US taxpayers expense by the Biden crew? Remember that those “Zero Unit” members were only vetted by the CIA when they enlisted into the CIA “Zero Units” in Afghanistan but were never vetted to live in the USA.

words of the guru benz-- If you're wondering how a CIA-partnered Afghan militant ended up here, I'm trying to impress upon you that this is the norm, not the exception. Europe for 15 years was plagued by a flood of Syrian refugees. It was politically impossible to stop the Syrian flood. Then, on Dec 8 2024, the CIA Pentagon USAID-backed rebels achieved regime change in Syria. The very next day, Dec 9, 2024, the flood stopped.

Two years ago, Pfizer anticipated that sales of its rebound-prone Covid-19 antiviral Paxlovid and fully approved Covid vaccine Comirnaty would plummet, but good news appeared on the horizon: The drugmaker's mRNA flu vaccine did well in phase 3 trials in ages 18-64, and Pfizer expected to release results from the 65-and-up cohort "later this year." The results are finally in: Compared to a standard flu shot, the mRNA vaccine was associated with six times as many adverse reactions as infections prevented in adults under 65, and outright failed in elderly people, associated with more deaths and both minor and serious injuries, from injection-site swelling to kidney problems.

The retirement of longtime Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, a Democrat, has the potential to shake up the relationship between the Trump administration and the nation's capital city. Under President Donald Trump, Washington has become ground zero for the administration's efforts to boost immigration enforcement and reduce urban crime. The mayor's office, despite trading rhetorical barbs with the president, has been remarkably cooperative . . . But the battle to replace Bowser could pit business-friendly centrists against progressive Democrats, creating uncertainty in the White House about what kind of leadership it will contend with when the dust settles.

President Donald Trump late Thursday said that the United States may “almost completely” eliminate the income tax due to the rising tariff revenue. n the next couple of years, I think we’ll substantially be cutting, or maybe cutting out completely, but we’ll be cutting income tax,” Trump said during an event on Thursday. “Could be almost completely cutting it because the money we’re taking in is going to be so large,” he added. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) in June projected that the tariff increases will reduce the federal deficit by $2.8 trillion over the next decade.

The Afghan man accused of gunning down two National Guard members blocks from the White House last week had been unraveling for years, unable to hold a job and flipping between long, lightless stretches of isolation and taking sudden weeks-long cross-country drives.

Emails obtained by The Associated Press reveal mounting warnings about the suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an asylum seeker whose erratic conduct raised alarms long before the attack that jolted the nation’s capital on the eve of Thanksgiving.
