State Department obstruction of private rescue flights from Afghanistan revealed in leaked email

State Department 'will not provide an approval' of charter flights from Afghanistan, leaked email reveals

EXCLUSIVE: The State Department refused to grant official approval for private evacuation flights from Afghanistan to land in third countries, even though the department conceded that official authorization would likely be needed for planes to land in those nations, an email reviewed by Fox News shows.

Furthermore, the State Department explicitly stated that charter flights, even those containing American citizens, would not be allowed to land at Defense Department (DOD) airbases ...

..."You need to find another destination country, and it can't be the U.S. either."...

My comment: I would not doubt this at all. The administration is pure evil and we do not know who is really in charge.

Biden will make major COVID speech Thursday outlining 'six-pronged' plan based on more vaccine mandates and school policies

President Joe Biden on Thursday will present a six-pronged strategy intended to fight the spread of the highly contagious COVID Delta variant and increase U.S. COVID-19 vaccinations, the White House said on Tuesday.

The United States, which leads the world in COVID-19 cases and deaths, is struggling to stem a wave of infections driven by the variant even as officials try to persuade Americans who have resisted vaccination to get the shots.

Rising case loads have raised concerns as children head back to school, while also rattling investors and upending company return-to-office plans.

White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters traveling with Biden aboard Air Force One that he will lay out the six-pronged strategy 'working across the public and private sectors to help continue to get the pandemic under control.'
Asked about possible new mandates, Psaki said the White House would offer more details later about the plan and acknowledged that the federal government cannot broadly mandate that Americans get vaccinated.
'We need to continue to take more steps to make sure school districts are prepared and make sure communities across the country are prepared,' Psaki added.

On Wednesday, Biden is scheduled to meet with White House COVID-19 advisers.

The United States has recorded roughly 650,000 COVID-19 deaths and last week exceeded 40 million cases.
Reuters data shows that more than 20,800 people have died in the United States from COVID-19 in the past two weeks, up about 67 per cent from the prior two-week period.
Hospitalizations have grown, with seven U.S. states - Alaska, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Kentucky, Tennessee and Washington - reporting records this month.

My comment. IMHO more government intervention into our civil rights and our private lives. They are just using Covid as an excuse.

You all need to watch Turning Point: 9/11 and the War on Terror (on Netflix), coincidentally you will the same incompetency, idiocy, and poor rationale in the representatives running this nation today. Whether these politicians are intentionally behaving in this matter or are preoccupied by their narcissistic personalities, everyday citizens should know that virtually every single damn tragedy could have been prevented, from 9/11 to the present-day COVID-19 bullshit. Seriously, we all here run and are familiar with surveillance systems / security products, presumably-speaking. I think we could do a better job than the Central Idiocy Agency and Fraudulent Bureau of Investigation. :facepalm:

What happened over 20 years ago in Afghanistan, is happening again this very moment. History is rinsing and repeating itself. I think we all know what's up.


This 5-part series doesn't emphasize 9/11 all throughout, takes you to the origins, past, present, and possibly future as well :(

I would as always during this time of year, remain cautious, vigilant, and stay informed

Whatever happened on 9/11/01 was a reminder that every country is equally vulnerable, no country is superior than the other. Once this superiority idea gets out of the mind, then only can this nation progress.

I've noticed lately people on the left spouting out stupid statements about how this heartbeat law isn't good for women that are raped. YOU HAVE SIX WEEKS TO GET AN ABORTION STILL!!! YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THE EVENT HAPPENED!!!
Agreed. I remember reading years back that the percentage of Abortions due to Rape was less than one percent. Not downplaying the seriousness of Rape.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised - with this disaster in Afghanistan, what are Biden and the Dems concerned about? No women in their new govt. Do they not understand radical Islamists?
