“Enemy of the State” focused on watching and listening...but the Deep State has humint as well.
It is very easy to recruit with money, blackmail etc—all it takes is the will to do it.

David Fox is an American trapped in Kabul who appeared on a video report with ABC to highlight the situation faced by thousands of Americans attempting to evacuate the region. While he was describing the dangerous situation around the Kabul airport, Mr. Fox also pointed out a very serious issue. ABC buried the lead….
According to his report, the U.S. State Department responded en masse to all the people trapped in Afghanistan reaching out for help.
The U.S. Embassy consular services department sent a document with instructions to assist Americans and eligible Afghans claiming Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) status. The document looks exactly like an approved VISA document except there is no filled in name, no serial number and no barcode.
As Mr. Fox notes, the document is easily able to be forged which makes the Kabul airport situation even worse, as it is likely the people who receive this response from the consular’s office will duplicate it and share it with friends or family who can then use it in an effort to get to the United States.
[WATCH ABC News video at 06:25]
Mr. Fox attributes this massive problem to bureaucratic “brainworms“, or a mistake by professional bureaucrats within the State Department trying to help but actually making things worse. However, there is a possibility it’s not a mistake. Perhaps this was done purposefully.
As previously noted by Lara Logan, outlining a position I happen to agree with {GO DEEP}, the growing scale of the crisis in Afghanistan cannot simply be chalked up to mistakes, snafu’s, blunders and errors in judgement. At some level it must be accepted that these events are happening because they are intended to happen.
While it is never a good idea to assign duplicitous motives to issues and events which can be more easily explained by stupid errors, the scale of the errors in this situation beggars belief.
When you think about the people within the chain-of-command inside the U.S. State Department, specifically the number of people currently assigned to review everything U.S. Embassy Kabul operations is conducting, this instruction to blitz a document to all applicants, that is so easy to duplicate had to be made intentionally.
Tens of thousands of fraudulent State Department documents showing up at the already overwhelmed gates of the Kabul airport will only make things exponentially more difficult to sort through.
Something like this is beyond FUBAR. This level of specific evacuation crisis is benefitting some purpose. Essentially, this “mistake” as outlined in the video above, is going to collapse any hope for an efficient evacuation with verified personnel.
We have seen this play out before [Bathtub Principle] where a crisis is created because the crisis has a purpose.
In Libya rather than Hillary Clinton and CIA Director Leon Panetta getting busted for selling surface-to-air missiles (SAMS) to al-Qaeda (Operation Zero Footprint), the State Department and CIA -essentially brother and sister agencies- helped “the Benghazi rebels” take over the Kadaffi weapons caches. If SAMS were then used elsewhere (Syria), well, they came from Kadaffi’s stores… see how that works?
Based on current political alignment, alliances, and the ideology behind who is in charge of specific U.S. government agencies, it can reasonably be assumed someone (insert Obama here) wants Pakistan and Iran to have advanced military technology via the stolen weapons we leave behind in Afghanistan.
Why?
Because those same people already made money selling advanced military tech to Iran, and this ‘crisis’ provides cover when it shows up later in their arsenal. (more)
“Something is going on”… Something much more consequential than appears at the surface.
We can see the ducks moving fast, but under the surface their feet are moving much faster.

The way to think of it is that the nation has a malignant cancer that has infected all of its major organs (institutions).
A Civil War would just kill the patient at this point.
The Empire will have to fall on its own and then get rebuilt from the ashes—that is the “ugly” that conservatives do not want to face.

Some states still provide a political framework that is not wholly corrupt, but the window of opportunity may be closing if they don't act decisively soon.
For example, Texas should just call up its guard, send them to the border and start throwing back illegals. When some edict comes from the junta or judiciary telling them they can't, Texas should say "up yours."
Force the regime to send in the army, which will break if the try it. Then the regime can be removed.

Sigh.
I knew a little about here work. But none of this.
It is a brutal game. It does explain why they collaped Afghanistan and did not care about the people. The ChiComs are going to pick up the resources. Wonder what they agreed to pay Slow Joe?
Nuts!

Lara Logan Challenges Media To Ask Certain Questions About Afghanistan
Posted on August 20, 2021 by admin
On Thursday, award-winning investigative journalist Lara Logan fired off a challenge to the mainstream media regarding the United States’ pullout from Afghanistan, stating that the Haqqani network —which according to the United Nations is comprised of “the Taliban’s most combat-ready forces” — had “taken over Afghan intel services,” allowing the Taliban to know “which houses to hit in first 12 hrs, almost imposs in a city w/o exact addresses.”
She continued, “US media needs to ask why US/Intel/NSA allowed sensitive mil equipment to be transported to Pakistan w/o doing anything? Why is the Biden admin not acknowledging the Afghan govt – VP Amrullah Saleh hasn’t surrendered, announced he’s acting Pres under constitution US helped draft.”
Logan began her short Twitter thread by writing, “The real issue in Afghanistan is what happens next because right now Haqqani network/Pakistani ISI has taken over Afghan intel services, can blackmail/target Afghans for years. Taliban knew precisely which houses to hit in first 12 hrs, almost imposs in a city w/o exact addresses.”
She continued, “The greatest gift to the Taliban from US Pres Envoy Khalilzad was US leaving Bagram Air base instantly giving up Afghan air space, signals Intel etc. Nothing you see now would be happening if the US had not done that -demanded by Taliban, opposed by US mil, overruled by State Dep.”
“US media needs to ask why US/Intel/NSA allowed sensitive mil equipment to be transported to Pakistan w/o doing anything?” she asked. “Why is the Biden admin not acknowledging the Afghan govt — VP Amrullah Saleh hasn’t surrendered, announced he’s acting Pres under constitution US helped draft.”

Who is “they” exactly.
A Texas secession window passed decades ago...the politicians have been bought and paid for many times over....and you would need a Texas Civil War before anything could change...not going to happen.

I will keep it simple.
Wall Street funded the Communists starting with Lenin.
Wall Street funded the Nazis.
Wall Street funded FDR, as they have both political parties for all of our lifetime.
Wall Street funded the Deep State.
They want to rule, and want the sheeple to drool.
Easy Peasy.

This is such an unpopular and destructive set of actions that no free people would tolerate it.
It very much is being tolerated. Look at who we vote for and who we keep sending back to DC, again and again.
Just use the election as proof of that. No need to rehash things we already know.
But, to this day, with all the evidence, other than a very small handful of people are doing anything about it. Half the country is happy it happened, as they support the Dem’s. A good portion of “Republicans” support what happened because they loathed President Trump so much.
In Georgia, the last thing that the Governor and a few others that made it happen want is an audit of the election. Right now, Butch Miller is running for Sec of State. It’s probably pretty apparent that Raffensberger doesn’t stand a chance. But, Jody Hice is running and until proven otherwise, he’s a MAGA guy and supporter of President Trump. Now, can the frauds and criminals have someone like that running around the Capitol? Absolutely not.
If I’m not mistaken, Miller was one of the guys that signed onto a brief, against the audit lawsuit. Now one of his platforms as he runs for SecState is election integrity and now he wants folks to look into the election.
Time will tell if we will continue to tolerate it. It’ll happen next November. We’ll find out if we’ll continue to send the same tired, corrupt SOBs back or try someone new, who might actually care.

Yes, she is the reporter who was gang-raped in Egypt during the rebellion. She was a CBS 60-minutes reporter at the time and what she endured was horrific. She does not even like to talk about it.
As I recall, however, her experience there changed her POV about the Muslims there, she became an outspoken critic and was hence muzzled and fired not long afterward. She was mostly invisible until FOX picked her up as a special correspondent. I am a long-time fan of hers.

Excellent journalist Logan "China builds bio weapons facilities, that's what they do. They don't create vaccines, they don't create treatments to save the world. They let their people die of the most basic deseases. So we know they have bio weapon facilities, that's all they are, so when we send research to the Wuhan lab, we know we are sending it to a bio weapons lab. It's always simple, the truth is always very simple."

I'll watch this later today.
Lara Logan is a incisive, sincere and brave.

Sutton names the names of actual people, and describes the transactions in meticulous detail.
That is why so many pages were needed.
