The Taliban’s War On Women

Joe Biden and his mandarins want very badly for the American people to stop thinking about Afghanistan. Biden’s poll numbers have plummeted. No one – not even his most craven supporters – can really muster a coherent defense of what is perhaps the greatest foreign policy disaster in American history. Mid-term elections are approaching, and the leaders of the Democratic Party sense an impending catastrophe and the loss of control over both houses of Congress.

The women of Afghanistan don’t have the luxury of simply disappearing to Delaware and tuning out the world, however. They can’t simply turn and walk away and refuse to answer questions. They don’t have the lackeys of the so-called mainstream media to run interference for them.

They have been abandoned to the tender mercies of 6th-century Islam and the horrors it entails.

When the Taliban ruled Afghanistan before 9/11, their policies regarding women were clear, barbaric, and brutal. Women were effectively imprisoned in their homes. They were denied education and access to health care. They could not work. Women were required to be covered at all times outside the home. They were forced into “marriage” to Taliban fighters.

The Taliban also required that windows of houses be painted over to prevent outsiders from seeing women inside homes. The rates of depression and suicide among Afghan women skyrocketed. One European physician reported frequent cases of burns to the esophagus as the result of women swallowing battery acid or household cleaners in an attempt to kill themselves.

Makeup and nail polish were prohibited. White socks were also prohibited, as were shoes that made noise as it was required that women walk silently.

Even when dressed in a heavy burqa according to Taliban rules, women were severely restricted in their movements. Women were permitted to leave the home only when accompanied by male relatives. Women violating these rules were beaten and, in some instances, killed.

The Taliban’s favorite method of execution for women violating its rules was stoning. This involves forcing a woman into the center of a circle of people who then kill her by hurling large stones at her. It is a prolonged, horrifying, and almost unbelievably brutal method of execution. Women violating Taliban rules also were whipped or disfigured by having the tips of their fingers, their ears or their noses cut off.

Biden and his cronies may wish you to believe that the Taliban have changed. In fact, they are desperate that you do so because then they can claim that somehow the magnitude of what has just happened is diminished. That does not make it true.

One of the first edicts to come out of Taliban-controlled Afghanistan read in part as follows:

“All imams and mullahs in captured areas should provide the Taliban with a list of girls above 15 and widows under 45 to be married to Taliban fighters.” The letter came from the Taliban’s Cultural Commission. Reportedly the females identified per the order were to be forcibly removed to the Waziristan region of Pakistan where they would become, in effect, “sex slaves” to be used by Taliban fighters and to birth a new generation of jihadists.

Women all across Afghanistan have been forced from their jobs. Women once again are only allowed out of their homes when covered and in the company of male relatives. Education for girls will likely no longer be allowed. The dark curtain of ignorance and oppression is once again descending over the nation.

Recently, the Taliban shot and killed a pregnant Afghan policewoman in front of her children and husband in Ghor province. The message was clear and unmistakable. Know your place. Get back in the house. Cover your face. Do as you are told or die.

A recent women’s protest in Kabul provoked a predictable response. Attendees were attacked, beaten, and dispersed. Similar protests are still underway across the nation, and will no doubt be met with the same brutality.

@laralogan
Back in Washington, the most feckless Secretary of State in American history, Tony Blinken, babbled on about the alternate reality in which he would prefer we believed. He assured us that we would do everything we could to find a way to work with the Taliban “In a way that brings greater stability to the country and the region, and that protects the gains of the last two decades….” He promised to continue to funnel aid to Afghanistan as well, claiming somehow that it would magically not go to the Taliban but to non-governmental organizations. How exactly he intends to keep the Taliban from simply appropriating those funds was not made clear.

Blinken then assured us that “The Taliban seeks international legitimacy and support. Our message is: any legitimacy and any support will have to be earned.”

According to Blinken, the Taliban will earn the “legitimacy” they supposedly crave as follows.

“The Taliban can do that by meeting commitments and obligations on freedom of travel, respecting the basic rights of the Afghan people, including women and minorities, upholding its commitments on counterterrorism, not carrying out reprisal violence against those who choose to stay in Afghanistan, and forming an inclusive government that can meet the needs and reflect the aspirations of the Afghan people.”

All of this was of course meaningless to the women and girls of Afghanistan locked in their homes, being stoned to death in the street, or being carried away to the mountains to be raped and brutalized. But then, again, it wasn’t really meant for them. Everything Blinken said was a lie and intended purely for domestic consumption. Neither he nor any other member of this administration intends to do anything about the atrocities being committed in Afghanistan.

The Taliban is waging war on women, and we are looking the other way.

State Department Tries to Steal Credit for Rescue of Four Americans From Afghanistan

The Biden Administration is responsible for the huge mess in Afghanistan.

First, getting a lot of people killed and wounded because of the bungled withdrawal.

Second, leaving an unknown number of Americans and thousands of SIVs there.

Then on top of that, the State Department allegedly put Americans and SIVs in greater danger in Mazar-i-Sharif by not clearing them out of the airport fast enough, then creating a standoff with the Taliban, with hundreds of people still trapped there at last word including at least 142 Americans.

So, when the State Department made a big announcement today, claiming that the “U.S. has facilitated the safe departure of four US citizens by overland route from Afghanistan. Embassy staff was present upon their arrival,” it sounded like maybe they had actually done something constructive after all the disaster they created.

A State Department spokesperson, when asked whether the agency is overselling its role in Mariam’s rescue, told Fox News in an email: “The Department assisted four Americans depart Afghanistan via an overland route on Monday. We provided guidance to them, worked to facilitate their safe passage, and Embassy officials greeted the Americans once they had crossed the border.”

Except not so much. Turns out that the folks who really saved the family of four — a mother and three children — said that the State Department is trying to grab credit despite playing “little to no role for much of the rescue effort.”

Cory Mills, who was behind the rescue said the State Department claim was “absolute nonsense.”

“The fact that they’re spinning this, trying to take 100% credit when they didn’t track this family, when they placated this family, when the mother, who was under extreme stress and extreme pressure, reached out to the State Department multiple times and got no help.” […]

“This is an attempt to save face by the administration for the Americans they left behind. This is a woman with three children from age 15 all the way down to two-years-old. And they did nothing to try to expedite this… But at the very last minute you have these ‘senior officials’ at the State Department trying to claim credit for this like ‘oh yeah look what we’ve done,’” Mills said.

“It’s like we carried the ball to the 99-and-a-half yard line and them taking it that last half yard and being like ‘look what we did.’”

Mills and his rescue team tried to get her out first through the Kabul airport, but the Taliban turned her back. They then considered the Mazar-i-Sharif route but then the planes weren’t cleared. So Mills and his team got her out through an overland route, through multiple attempts and sleight of hand like a “shell game” he said, just before the Taliban closed the checkpoint they went through.

The State Department’s ultimate role? They helped get them tourist visas after they had already gotten out across the border into another country. Big help. Both Rep. Markwayne Mullin and Rep. Ronny Jackson said the State Department’s claims were false, Mullin calling it a “flat out lie.”

So after creating this mess and putting people in this position, how offensive is this that they try to also steal claim for things they didn’t even do? These people have no shame.
