DISASTER! Taliban Making It On Us Cargo Planes Enroute To USA
The Populist Press headline does not appear to be supported by the tweets posted there. But the second tweet at the link is useful to us to understand the situation around the airport:



Omaviper Lumumba3702 posted the following about the same video last night for the midnight roll-over. I’m consolidating it here so it can be included in the discussion:
U.S. Embassy in Kabul Sends Out Thousands of Blank VISA Documents Which Are Easy to Falsify and Makes Things Worse

[The Last Refuge] 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.
It seems like most of the Federal government is working for America's enemies.
