ISIS-Khorasan aims to prove to Afghans and to the outside world that the Taliban cannot secure the capital
By Pepe Escobar posted with permission and first posted at Asia Times
The horrific Kabul suicide bombing introduces an extra vector in an already incandescent situation: It aims to prove, to Afghans and to the outside world, that the nascent Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is incapable of securing the capital.
As it stands, at least 103 people – 90 Afghans (including at least 28 Taliban) and 13 American servicemen – were killed and at least 1,300 injured, according to the Afghan Health Ministry.
Responsibility for the bombing came via a statement on the Telegram channel of Amaq Media, the official Islamic State (ISIS) news agency. This means it came from centralized ISIS command, even as the perpetrators were members of ISIS-Khorasan, or ISIS-K.
Presuming to inherit the historical and cultural weight of ancient Central Asian lands that from the time of imperial Persia stretched all the way to the western Himalayas, that spin-off defiles the name of Khorasan.
The suicide bomber who carried out “the martyrdom operation near Kabul airport” was identified as one Abdul Rahman al-Logari. That would suggest he’s an Afghan, from nearby Logar province. And that would also suggest that the bombing may have been organized by an ISIS-Khorasan sleeper cell. Sophisticated electronic analysis of their communications would be able to prove it – tools that the Taliban don’t have.
The way social media-savvy ISIS chose to spin the carnage deserves careful scrutiny. The statement on Amaq Media blasts the Taliban for being “in a partnership” with the US military in the evacuation of “spies.”
It mocks the “security measures imposed by the American forces and the Taliban militia in the capital Kabul,” as its “martyr” was able to reach “a distance of no less than five meters from the American forces, who were supervising the procedures.”
So it’s clear that the newly reborn Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and the former occupying power are facing the same enemy. ISIS-Khorasan comprises a bunch of fanatics, termed takfiris because they define fellow Muslims – in this case the Taliban – as “apostates.”
Founded in 2015 by emigré jihadis dispatched to southwest Pakistan, ISIS-K is a dodgy beast. Its current head is one Shahab al-Mujahir, who was a mid-level commander of the Haqqani network headquartered in North Waziristan in the Pakistani tribal areas, itself a collection of disparate mujahideen and would-be jihadis under the family umbrella.
Washington branded the Haqqani network as a terrorist organization way back in 2010, and treats several members as global terrorists, including Sirajuddin Haqqani, the head of the family after the death of the founder Jalaluddin.
Up to now, Sirajuddin was the Taliban deputy leader for the eastern provinces – on the same level with Mullah Baradar, the head of the political office in Doha, who was actually released from Guantanamo in 2014.
Crucially, Sirajuddin’s uncle, Khalil Haqqani, formerly in charge of the network’s foreign financing, is now in charge of Kabul security and working as a diplomat 24/7.
The previous ISIS-K leaders were snuffed out by US airstrikes in 2015 and 2016. ISIS-K started to become a real destabilizing force in 2020 when the regrouped band attacked Kabul University, a Doctor Without Borders maternity ward, the Presidential palace and the airport.
NATO intel picked up by a UN report attributes a maximum of 2,200 jihadis to ISIS-K, split into small cells. Significantly, the absolute majority are non-Afghans: Iraqis, Saudis, Kuwaitis, Pakistanis, Uzbeks, Chechens and Uighurs.
The real danger is that ISIS-K works as a sort of magnet for all manners of disgruntled former Taliban or discombobulated regional warlords with nowhere to go.
The perfect soft target
The civilian commotion these past few days around Kabul airport was the perfect soft target for trademark ISIS carnage.
Zabihullah Mujahid – the new Taliban minister of information in Kabul, who in that capacity talks to global media every day – is the one who actually warned NATO members about an imminent ISIS-K suicide bombing. Brussels diplomats confirmed it.
In parallel, it’s no secret among intel circles in Eurasia that ISIS-K has become disproportionally more powerful since 2020 because of a transportation ratline from Idlib, in Syria, to eastern Afghanistan, informally known in spook talk as Daesh Airlines.
Moscow and Tehran, even at very high diplomatic levels, have squarely blamed the US-UK axis as the key facilitators. Even the BBC reported in late 2017 on hundreds of ISIS jihadis given safe passage out of Raqqa, and out of Syria, right in front of the Americans.
The Kabul bombing took place after two very significant events.
The first one was Mujahid’s claim during an American NBC News interview earlier this week that there is “no proof” Osama bin Laden was behind 9/11 – an argument that I had already hinted was coming in this podcast the previous week.
This means the Taliban have already started a campaign to disconnect themselves from the “terrorist” label associated with 9/11. The next step may involve arguing that the execution of 9/11 was set up in Hamburg, the operational details coordinated from two apartments in New Jersey.
Nothing to do with Afghans. And everything staying within the parameters of the official narrative – but that’s another immensely complicated story.
The Taliban will need to show that “terrorism” has been all about their lethal enemy, ISIS, and way beyond old school al-Qaeda, which they harbored up to 2001. But why should they be shy about making such claims? After all, the United States rehabilitated Jabhat Al-Nusra – or al-Qaeda in Syria – as “moderate rebels.”
The origin of ISIS is incandescent material. ISIS was spawned in Iraq prison camps, its core made of Iraqis, their military skills derived from ex-officers in Saddam’s army, a wild bunch fired way back in 2003 by Paul Bremmer, the head of the Coalition Provisional Authority.
ISIS-K duly carries the work of ISIS from Southwest Asia to the crossroads of Central and South Asia in Afghanistan. There’s no credible evidence that ISIS-K has ties with Pakistani military intel.
On the contrary: ISIS-K is loosely aligned with the Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP), also known as the Pakistani Taliban, Islamabad’s mortal enemy. TTP’s agenda has nothing to do with the moderate Mullah Baradar-led Afghan Taliban who participated in the Doha process.
SCO to the rescue
The other significant event tied to the Kabul bombing was that it took place only one day after yet another phone call between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping.
The Kremlin stressed the pair’s “readiness to step up efforts to combat threats of terrorism and drug trafficking coming from the territory of Afghanistan”; the “importance of establishing peace”; and “preventing the spread of instability to adjacent regions.”
And that led to the clincher: They jointly committed to “make the most of the potential” of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), which was founded 20 years ago as the “Shanghai Five”, even before 9/11, to fight “terrorism, separatism and extremism.”
The SCO summit is next month in Dushanbe – when Iran, most certainly, will be admitted as a full member. The Kabul bombing offers the SCO the opportunity to forcefully step up.
Whichever complex tribal coalition is formed to govern the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, it will be intertwined with the full apparatus of regional economic and security cooperation, led by the three main actors of Eurasia integration: Russia, China and Iran.
The record shows Moscow has all that it takes to help the Islamic Emirate against ISIS-K in Afghanistan. After all, the Russians flushed ISIS out of all significant parts of Syria and confined them to the Idlib cauldron.
In the end, no one aside from ISIS wants a terrorized Afghanistan, just as no one wants a civil war in Afghanistan. So the order of business indicates not only an SCO-led frontal fight against existing ISIS-K terror cells in Afghanistan but also an integrated campaign to drain any potential social base for the takfiris in Central and South Asia.
I think there are plenty of groups in addition to ISIS who have no interest in a functional Afghanistan, and they will do everything in their power to inhibit such from coming about. I need not name these groups here.
As to the U.S. pull out of Afghanistan, a parallel might be made with the Israeli pull out from Gaza some years back. Time will tell if the comparison is valid. Hopefully, I will be proven wrong.
“I think there are plenty of groups in addition to ISIS who have no interest in a functional Afghanistan, and they will do everything in their power to inhibit such from coming about.”
Well, I’m bending your meaning/intent somewhat, but one could also perhaps include parts of the British anglo-American empire that would suffer economic loss if, for instance, minerals were recoverable for the Chinese market without need for ocean shipment ‘risk’; nor western capitalist global cabal resource companies. Western interests keeping Afghanistan in the proverbial pre-modern stone age alignes well with this scenario.
Basically, what can also be seen with the Wahhabi cult installed in Arabia a century or so back and handed over to the fiat-usd$ non-gold standard north American racket in the 1970’s. And what has this easy money been used for, apart from princeling indulgences in decadent western ways? Largely, medieval fundamentalist mosques and propaganda that helps keep the Islamic domain in retarded development. The (post-Mao) Chinese aren’t that stupid ideology anchor these days since they have managed to “cross the river by feeling the stones”.
No wonder London is going ape-sh_t mental with the recent turn of events. No opium, and Australia and Canada sliding back into the resources’ stone age selling their dirt into a real over supplied global market with China having close ‘non-disruptable’ non-market back-door options.
ISIS = ISIL = AlQaida = CIA = MI6 = AZC
Deplorable: I admire your physics equation. But do tell, what do you mean by AZC? I never was much good at physics or algebra.
Snow Leopard @ what do you mean by AZC?
From Wikipedia:
>The American Zionist Council (AZC) was an Israeli lobby group formed in 1949, which represented nine nationwide Zionist organizations in matters related specifically to Zionism,[1] following the independence of Israel. It was founded as a tax-exempt umbrella organization of American Jewish groups, which focused on Israel and included the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), Hadassah and other Zionist organizations active in the United States. It acted as an umbrella group for public relations, outreach, and lobbying on Capitol Hill. Between 1951 and 1953, its Washington representative was Isaiah L. Kenen. Kenen organized the unincorporated American Zionist Committee for Public Affairs (AZCPA) in 1953. AZCPA was primarily a “public relations” organization, emitting numerous (but declining numbers of) news releases.
AZC’s early years were characterized with bureaucratic struggle within Jewish and pro-Israel movements. In 1962 President John F. Kennedy and his brother Bobby, the United States Attorney General, forced the AZC to register as a foreign agent. In doing so, they were barred from making monetary contributions to US officials.
Interesting that about the Kennedy boys who ended up….dead.
Yes, strong affiliations. Follow the money and guns.
>Follow the money and guns.
And drugs.
And human (+child) trafficking
And organ harvesting.
And their public relations arm, Amaq Media …
Dear Deplorable,
Do you remember the MV Patras filled with Jewish refugees that were not permitted to land in Israel? Do you remember who blew that ship up? Can you recall if the Irgun asked these refugees if they wished to become martyrs for the cause?
Consider this a repeat of the MV Patras. My only query is why call this attack a “suicide-bombing”? Oh, because that is what we are told by our lying deceitful media. In these situations there are many patsy’s that be be used by the CIA, and they have been doing that even before they had that name.
I was trying to get description/details of MV Patras blow up , but neither google or Yandex provide any.
Could you please suggest where one can find such info.
Thank you , Spiral
Maybe this:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_maritime_disasters_in_World_War_II
Patria – An ocean liner carrying about 1,770 Jewish refugees from Europe and 134 other passengers, sunk by a bomb just outside the port of Haifa on 25 November 1940, while en route to Mauritius.
The refugees aboard had been transferred to the ship at Haifa after being denied entry to Palestine.
The bomb, planted by members of the Jewish Haganah in the hope of disabling the ship, sank her instead. 260 were killed (209 bodies recovered), 172 injured.
The surviving refugees were allowed to remain in Palestine.
But this episode is pretty petty and extreme:
MV Struma was a small ship with a long history that included a number of changes of use and many changes of name.
As Struma she tried to take nearly 800 Jewish refugees from Romania to Palestine in December 1941.
Turkey detained her in Istanbul because Britain refused to admit her passengers to Palestine.
In February 1942 a Soviet submarine torpedoed and sank Struma in the Black Sea after Turkish authorities had towed her out to sea and cast her adrift.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Struma
Thank you White Whale.
Spiral
“In February 1942 a Soviet submarine torpedoed and sank Struma”
Although the cause of the sinking is not definitively known, it is assumed that it was mistakenly torpedoed by a Soviet submarine.
https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/voyage-of-the-struma
So… British forbids Jews to enter Palestine, Turks tow ship in open sea, ship conveniently sinks, killing Jews in the process.
Conclusion: it must be Russians torpedo. (It seems Jews didn’t buy the story)
Dear Blackring,
There was another ship carrying German Jewish refugees that was banned from landing in New York, and it suffered a similar fate. It had been sailing around the world after being barred from landing in Palestine, and America and then it docked in Sydney at the start of WW2, and these ‘German Jewish’ refugees were all arrested and placed in a POW camp in northern Victoria.
The point is this and it has been noted that Rothschild’s main man after Herzl died, Chaim Weizmann, wanted only certain Jews to be permitted to enter Palestine. The others? Well; they could be used in a similar was as the Hungarian Jews.
And then I consider the term ‘suicide bombing’ which was an Israeli invention first used by the Tamil Tigers in assassinating the Indian Prime Minister Ghandi. What was also noted was that the Israelis were training both the Tamils and the Indian government troops in two different camps at the same time.
It had also been noted that the Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, whenever he needed a Palestinian ‘suicide bomber’ as in when he was to travel to America, he got one, but after Sharon suffered his second ‘stroke’ at home after a visit from another politician, those ‘suicide bombing’ raids ceased. Similar, I guess to Abu Nadel.
What was also noted in Iraq was that the Iraqi police stopped and captured, after a gunfight, two ‘Israeli’ dressed as locals in a white Cressida sedan with the explosives required for a ‘suicide bomb at the local market. Anyway, the British were not at all happy about this and sent in tanks and helicopters to rescue these brave Israeli bombers, which they did and when the local British Military Police OC tried to investigate this event he was suicided by hanging (break a neck and then string him up), and the British CO then for some strange reason handed in his command.
I believe that these two Israelis captured in Iraq were responsible for the London Bombing of 7/7.
Again, another example of the ‘suicide bombing being used ‘politically’ was the assassination of the Pakistani, Benazir Bhutto in 2007.
Thus I would consider that this event at Kabul Airport may not have been an actual ‘suicide bombing’ as reported but rather the political event, dressed as a ‘suicide-bomb’ attack, which immediately stops any investigation into who was the bomber. And with over 80 locals also murdered in this event, I would suggest that the masterminds behind this attack, much the same as with Benazir Bhutto, would be those who plan to continue the war, and guess what, the Americans have already targeted the ‘suspect ‘ISIS’ in Afghanistan; it’s the same old story.
”The Kremlin stressed the pair’s ’readiness to step up efforts to combat threats of terrorism and drug trafficking coming from the territory of Afghanistan’; the ’importance of establishing peace’; and ’preventing the spread of instability to adjacent regions.’”
It must be excruciatingly painful to the Empire’s propagandists and to those believing them to hear what superficially sounds pretty much like their own standard demagoguery but without all the bluster and deceit. With Russia, China, and Iran ”draining the swamp”, the chaos will subside pretty damn quickly in Afghanistan.
@Nussiminen
“It must be excruciatingly painful to the Empire’s propagandists and to those believing them…”
Remember how they predicted that Russian intervention in Syria will be “their Vietnam”?
Just imagine level of butthurt when combined weight of Russia and China falls on the head of their precious proxies in Afghanistan?
SCO’s reaction could be surgical strikes on command hubs and leaders, combined with cutting of supply lines.
Massoud could become first collateral damage of Kabul bombing, even if he, possibly, has nothing to do with it.
Pepe didnt really answer the question
Who Profits:
-Blair, The UK Arms industry & their bankers in the City of London
-Clintons
-The Forever War Generals aka Petraeus
-CIA
-MIC
-India Nationals
-Israel
-ISIS
-Republicans in 2024
-The 0.0001%
Who Loses
-Biden/Obama
-Afghanistan
-Sunni Muslims
-Russia
-Everyday Americans
-Regular US Military
-The 99.9999%
Neutral
-China – Destabilized Asia, but US cant focus on the China threat
-Turkey – Erdogan’s role as a player, but he is still a lackey until there is real Sunni power.
I would say it’s a little less complex as Pepe suggests:
When the then US puppet regime in Iraq was being pushed back by grudging revolutionaries,
Eyesis conveniently showed up for additional US soldiers to be deployed.
When regime change was the goal to topple the Asad govt, Eyesis conveniently enters the fray so the red carpet can be laid for US intervention. They also conveniently depopulated the regions for a US occupation in the North East with their Kurd proxies. Ditto!
The natoo alliance is crying at the prospect of being kicked out of Afghanistan. Tears flowed for a military extension of the Kabul Airport occupation. This is denied. Eyesis conveniently end their hibernation. Ditto!
Perhaps the most telling sign was the meeting of CIA head William Burns with the Taliban chief a few days earlier. Whatever was discussed (inc extending the evacuation period) he didn’t look happy and no details were spoken of. The next day Eyesis K warnings are all over the news. Ditto!
Kind of reminds me of the 2014 Sochi story of the terrorism threat to Putin if he didn’t pull out of Syria. Another ditto!
I’m sure you don’t need much time to figure out this riddle.
Yes I think we can simplify the subject to a degree!!!
Something weird is going on. Watching biden’s speech was like watching a nation give up. I honestly thought he was going to come out and pull the plug on the withdrawal… basically make the case for staying.. “They killed our servicemen!!! the objective isn’t complete so Im ordering another invasion”. I mean there’s logic for that. And literally the previous day people on U.S tv were trying to make the case for a forever invasion. In fact if you recall years ago, Blackwater were making the case for a East India Company type setup for afghanistan.
Is it the case that some in the U.S have realised that the game is up. Israel and the MIC have bled them dry and the only way to catch up with the Chinese is to focus on building American infrastructure to compete, but then the israel/mic/uk tried to force their hand.
u.s also seem to be interested in sharing the economic corridor via PAKAFUZ… I’m hopeful Pak have managed to convince them to play ball rather than ruin the game for everyone
Spot on Abdullah.
I don’t see Russian military flying missions into Afghanistan.
Missiles and drones–maybe.
However, if the Afghan border with neighboring states is crossed by ISIS-K or Taliban, then Russian military will act.
However, likely it will be bombers and missiles like they used in Deir-ez-Zor campaign.
Out of interest. What purpose would it serve for the taliban to cross into neighbouring states.
Is this a trend that you speak of?
I would be interested to know of such details and objectives.
>>What purpose would it serve for the taliban to cross into neighbouring states?
A couple of answers:
§ “Stirred up Moselems” (with the nomenclature of “Afghan-Arabs”) were weaponised by Zbigniew Brzezinski to destabilise the central majority muslim republics of Russia.
The plan was to induce Russia into Afghanistan and “give them their own Vietnam”. That the Russians did enter Afghanistan, at the request of the government (labeled an invasion by the FUKUS), and that the Russians departed (defeated say the US), and that the Soviet Union collapsed shortly after, has lead to the US belief that Brzezinski was correct and the plan worked.
2021: The Russians (and Chinese) are cautious in dealing with this new iteration of the Taliban, as what their long term plans for the region are yet unknown.
§ Pashtun. The British in their malignant, devious way, drew borders and boundaries to divide ethno-religious groups.
Just as “Kurdistan” lies within Syria, Turkey, Iraq and Iran, creating tensions within each of those countries, the same was done with the Pashtuns.
Russia and China are concerned the majority Pashtun Taliban may seek to reclaim the region from Pakistan.
They want to avoid regional instability.
§ CIA ratline.
Russia China Iran and others … Kazakhstan, Tajikistan..
want to keep the ratline of drugs, weapons, terrorists and associated BS from being used to create instability in the region.
We’ve all forgotten the Chechen and Dagestan turbulence.
Russia has not. And China is dealing with interference in its Uighur regions.
Any opportunity for chaos is an entry point for CIA,Mi6 destabilisation.
A tight control of borders is paramount in reducing opportunities for BS.
@White Whale
“The British in their malignant, devious way, drew borders and boundaries to divide ethno-religious groups.”
This is the most important and rarely discused topic. One of toughest support for “Divide et Impera” strategy. Empire would fade long time ago if borders were drawn in a natural way.
But, reality is they aren’t. No-one wants to give up teritories without war.
Borders could be disolved peacefully by increasing trade benefits in EU style. That is why BRI is so fiercely opposed in the West. Pockets of terrorism must be addressed before any trade is commenced.
So, couple of warlords should carefully rethink is fistfull of paper from the West worth standing in the path of Belt and Road steamroller.
WW
I’m afraid this is more paranoia than an accurate assessment of the current situation. Yes you do highlight some potential issues but they centre around a strong and fixed US footing. The transational chaotic goals you describe were empires objectives as you yourself wrote. However, the taliban are a serious impediment to such goals and not their own objectives.
@blackring
You highlight a most significant area of the destabilisation arena. The empire’s cunning interference of creating artificial borders. These could be described as the biggest detonators planted on planet earth to implode societys and trigger wars. Not spoken of enough as you say.
He doesn’t have “details and objectives”. Never has. It’s pure bloviation…ignore him.
Russia, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan have no interest in allowing Zionist destabilization forces to spread through the region. They have already had joint military exercises passing on knowledge and skills Russia has gained in SYria.
Russia, for its part, has some promising weapons ideally suited to the historic Great Game

It is obvious that Nato member Turkey is racketeering their Isis proxy so they can come in and save the day while resurrecting a quasi Ottoman Empire.
@ dave
It is indeed obvious, and the evidence is overwhelming.
I and many others have been providing links to articles and research showing clearly how Turkey have a military presence in locations as diverse as Libya and Afghanistan, and use thier pet “moderate rebles” for activities all over the World, including in Ex-Pat / Disapora communties as far away as Germany and England.
The problem with some of the “names” in the media who write articles on geo-politics is that they have painted themselves into an opinionated corner or regard Turkey as “Erdogan” – failing to see the much bigger picture.
One day the various “names” who write articles will be forced to confront the issue.
As a member of the Turkish diaspora, how is Erdogan using me? My mom does paint and frankly, I have always been suspicious of her.
As a secular Turk, fully committed to western principals, I can assure you that the very large secular population in Turkey was tossed out with the garbage when the US under Obama thought it was a good idea to align with Erdogan to control the Sunni/ Turkic world as a counter weight to the Saudis. The headchoppers are also vital part of “Assad Must Go!” campaign orchestrated by Clinton, Petraeus, General Allen and Sarkozy and of course, Israel after Obama and the UK felt they were getting their hands too dirty in public. Besides, do you really think some regional player with a third rate economy is calling the shots? I am sincerely curious to know your thoughts.
hahaha
I feel like a similar thing happens with us Pakistanis where the “analysts” learn something basic about something we’ve done once before and then forevermore anything remotely connected happens we get blamed for everything over and over and over
Anyway, maybe they’re right. Unlike you though I’m fully committed to sharia law as will be implemented by the taliban IA…. I’ll compromise on just tearing down capitalism though.
Your mom better give up painting though… for the sake of humanity!
This situation with Turkey today reminds me a bit of the West’s and USSR’s appeasement of Nazi Germany before WW2.
The Turks were in charge of the airport before and after the blasts took place.
The Taliban are now taking control before the August 31 deadline…
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/afghanistan-kabul-airport-blast-live-updates/liveblog/85679190.cms
Yes, because the Indians have their finger on the pulse here. They called it all along. Good one!
btw i couldn’t find any mention of turkey on that page..you’d have us believe that it was turkish troops occupying kabul airport all this time and not american? How many turkish troops were killed? oh… i see. That proves it was the turks then.

“Turkey’s military has begun withdrawing its troops from Kabul airport, the country’s defence ministry said on Wednesday, apparently scrapping its offer to secure Afghanistan’s main link with the outside world in the face of opposition from the Taliban.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey’s president, had in recent days reiterated his intention of keeping a 500-strong battalion at the airport, even after the collapse of the Afghan government and the Taliban’s capture of the capital. He said his government was negotiating with the Taliban to persuade it to let Turkey stay.
But the Taliban has repeatedly said Turkey must leave with other Nato troops or it would be viewed as an occupation force
Ibrahim Kalin, Erdogan’s senior adviser, said late on Wednesday that Turkish civilian experts may still provide technical support after the military left, which he said should be completed by Friday.”
More on Turkish troops operating Kabul airport:
https://www.aa.com.tr/en/asia-pacific/turkey-could-continue-to-operate-at-kabul-airport/2346268
“After our troops withdraw, we could continue this operational task at the airport there. If it is agreed in the terms and an agreement is reached in this direction, we will continue to provide this service there,” said Turkish presidential spokesperson Ibrahim Kalin.”
Kalin also underlined the importance of securing the airport…
He also questioned the Taliban’s “capacity” on “establishing the security structure” at the airport.”
Ok, it seems you’re right. There are 500-600 troops there. You were stating that they were “in charge” of the airport when the Americans have 5000-7000 troops. ….and obviously you were saying that because you were implying being “in charge” of the airport they may have facilitated the isis suicide attack. A case of clutching at straws to fit your narrative.
I doubt the Turks are responsible for the blast (it took place outside, not within the airport)
All I pointed out was that Turkey operates the airport and the blast provides a great pretext for continous Turkish presence there (due to “security issues” etc…)
Isis Khorasan have their base in Northern Afghanistan where Turkmen and Uzbek live, they are Turcic peoples.
Turkish intelligence provide intelligence to Isis according to an Egyptian govenment official.
Turkey wants to become the leader of the Muslim world (Muslim Brotherhood caliphate).
How did the Americans find out about an imminent terrorist attack on the Kabul airport?! Perhaps Erdogan’s words about wanting to provide security after Nato withdrawal was a code word for attack (a signal to Isis) and the alarm bells went off at western intelligence agencies.
Did you know that not only the Taliban but also the Americans were against Turkey taking over security of the airport after Nato withdrawal: https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2021/8/2/why-is-turkey-eager-to-remain-in-afghanistan-after-the-us-exit
Turkey’s Isis racket worked out well for Turkey:
Turkey and Taliban reached an Agreement.
“Turkey recognizes the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan.
Turkey and Qatar will operate the airport as a consortium.
Ankara will provide security through a private company staffed by former Turkish soldiers and police. Obviously here we are talking about the private mercenary company SADAT of the Turks.
Additional members of the Turkish special forces will operate in civilian clothes to protect Turkish technical personnel, they will not leave the perimeter of the airport.
An outstanding issue is that the former Afghan government had already awarded the contract for the airport last October to a consortium based in the United Arab Emirates. The Taliban will have to make a separate agreement with them.
Turkish officials say maintaining a presence in Afghanistan will help protect Turkey’s commercial and political interests in the country, including preventing a wave of refugees from seeking asylum in Turkey.”
https://www.greydynamics.com/sadat-turkeys-paramilitary-wings-take-flight-in-africa/
“SADAT Inc. International Defense Consultancy is a Turkish private security contractor, founded by former Gen. Adnan Tanrıverdiin in 2012. ”
“There is a close relationship between SADAT and Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan.”
“There are concerning allegations that SADAT has been aiding and is involved in the training of Salafists in the Middle East and Africa. This would be in line with Tanriverdi’s views, which were expressed in Yeni Akit, a pro-Erdogan newspaper, sympathetic to Islamic extremist groups. An alleged 3,000 foreign fighters operating in Syria and Libya have received training from SADAT. Michael Rubin, from the American Enterprise Institute, argues that ISIS and al-Nusra members were part of the SADAT training operations. This creates an asymmetrical warfare tool, noticeable in Libya, and a growing Turkish presence in the rest of Africa.”
“Tanriverdi had also stated that his company was paving the way for the messianic figure of Imam Mahdi: it is believed by some Muslims that Mahdi will arrive to redeem mankind.”
Turkey and Qatar are Muslim Brotherhood’s biggest supporters, while UAE (and Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Syria) designated the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization. The MB (Qatar and Turkey) is now getting a foothold in Afghanistan thanks to Turkey’s latest racket operation, namely the Isis suicide attack on the Kabul airport.
There is a struggle in the middle east between the globalists (MB) and sovereignists. Qatar and Turkey vs Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Syria.
Biden gives a warning for another terrorist attack on Kabul airport.
My guess is it won’t happen because Turkey has reached a favourable agreement with the Taliban.
Turkey dropped plans to secure the airport just few days before the bombing, but will assist if Taliban requests.
https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/turkey-drops-kabul-airport-plans-will-assist-if-taliban-ask-sources-2021-08-16/
https://besacenter.org/turkey-isis-relationship/
a senior Egyptian official indicated in October 2014 that Turkish intelligence was passing imagery and other data to ISIS.
It says Turkey drops plans to secure airport *after NATO’s withdrawal*…
NATOs withdrawal deadline is 31 August.
“Turkey, which is part of the NATO mission, has been responsible for security at the airport for the last six years.”

Here you go “dave”
https://thecradle.co/Article/investigations/1401
Were the local Afghan Khost army involved with Isis in Syria?! No, but the Turks were, just ask Putin, he personally provided all the evidence to his G8 colleagues a few years back.
The americans have forgotten where home is, so after they waddle back to Poland or Kuwait, the Taliban have invited the Sultan of Swing to take over security at Kabul airport.. True, he had his eye on Bagram, but, what the hey, the Sultan is everywhere..
I would like to make a plea for a consistent nomeclature before things get out of hand:
We have seen in Syria, that the Anglo-Zionists like to appropriate a legitimate organisation name and apply it to their takfiri proxies – they took the name Syrian Civil Defense and applied it to the terrorist PR outfit better known as the White Helmets.
Now we have ‘The Taliban’ used as a western MSM descriptor for ISIS jihadists brought in from Syria to destabilize the defacto legitimate Afghanistan government aka the Taliban party. The confusion and associaton is deliberate – intended to link the two opposing entities as one in the small minds of the western readership.
I propose that the ‘The Taliban’ be referred to as the Anti-Taliban, as that is their primary role at the moment. The Taliban party has no real interest in indiscriminate terrorism, as that hinders its intended removal from Russia/China’s desgnated list of terrorist entities, necessary for Afghanistan to start a real recovery.
The Anti-Taliban will:
conduct shoting of random citizens
conduct random attacks against taliban party security
run IED attacks against civilian targets
rapidly gain public exposure for these acts in the MSM courtesy of CIA/MI6 USUK churnalists on the ground.
ON the other hand, the Afghanistan government gains nothing from these actions, and has no obvious reason to carry them out (just as Assad had no reason to conduct the supposed CW attacks just as victory arrived).
This will undermine one of the Anglo-ZIonist’s potent weapons – control of language such that eventually black becomes white, up becomes down, right becomes wrong.
Intuitivo e geniale. Bravo.
ISIS just signed their own death sentence…
Agreed. But it was already signed anyway. ISIS will die everywhere the CIA is prohibited from operating. Afghanistan was the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle, and now the noose it tight around ISIS necks. Good.
Sorry that it will take some blood shed by good people to spill that of the western proxy murderers, but at least it will be ended in the region.
ISIS is more of an Israeli-Mossad operation than a US-CIA one.
ISIS, as a proxy force, espousing fake Islamic ideals, was created as a mockery of Iran’s Shiism and Shia proxy forces. And their main targets are Iran and Iran’s allies, not the US or Turkey or Israel or the UAE, etc, ie. the true ‘infidels’.
Shias believe that the Mahdi, the Savior, will rise from Khorasan, and his armies will march under a black banner.
The rise of ISIS in Afghanistan guarantees one thing: the IRGC’s power and influence will grow in Afghanistan.
ISIS is just one of the immortal multi-headed hydra heads that can be chopped off and a new own will miraculously grow in its place.
Rebranding doesn’t change the identical behaviour patterns, you know.
Professional mercenaries funded by international ‘investors’.
>>ISIS just signed their own death sentence
Lol. No.
IS-US is a tool of the “intelligence” coalition (cia mi6 mossad).
It has had many names over the past 70 years (or pick a timeframe), and like a many headed hydra, can be resurrected on demand in any formation.
It’s the swiss army knife of black ops.
Why do you think Erdogan wants to operate the Kabul airport?
Likely, he’s going to need to shift and dump his liver-eating Syrian border proxies somewhere off-stage once the Russians decide to blow the umpire’s whistle on whole sorbid middle east muddle (and likely covering the southern borders with occupied Palestine).
They will have to figure in the US’s continued involvement (from a distance, behind the scenes) in any way possible to destabilize the country. The MIC must be fed!
“The MIC must be fed!”
Exactly!
But what happens when there is no more food?
Housing hungry wild predator as a pet is not smart thing to do.
War & murder are inhuman / evil acts, hence they are repulsive to a sane / normal individual. . Unfortunately all societies have a small group of sick criminals (sociopaths / psychopath) who are indifferent to human life. The Kabul airport carnage was carried out by a sick / evil criminal who regards sickness as martyrdom.
The unpalatable truth is that society is a conditioning / brainwashing entity. Among many ill founded notions found in the West is the so called “power / might” & it’s sister , the so called “control”. The real antidote for such childish shenanigans is a realization that no one is immortal. The East has among many challenges the issue of religious dogma. How does one make sense out of the unhinged misnomer called, “holy war” ?
Sociopaths / psychopaths are creatures without conscience , hence they hide their evil acts behind societal norms in such a skillful manner , that ordinary people are deceived to the point of supporting them as “one of our own”, in contrast to the “other” / “apostates.”
They will be psychopaths or sociopaths in that they do not care about human life (other people’s lives, of course), but they are decisions made coldly by intelligent people, to prevent at all costs the terrestrial exchange between East and West (as far as I know, the north of Afghanistan It has the only enabled pass, the Wakhjir Pass, where a narrow route leads to and from the East, a highly mountainous area, where there are some of the highest peaks on earth, which connect with China, India and also with the Himalayas, and thus forced passage for centuries, and perhaps millennia, for exchange)
It has been a long-standing policy of the British Empire, inherited by the USA, here and around the globe, since they controlled the globe’s maritime routes and therefore global trade, and although the Anglo-USA are losing to China and Russia, they will not give up preventing the passage at any cost …
The Anglo-USA paradigm failed miserably, both because of what Russia and China have done or not done, but because their “civilization” is rotten to the core… And resentment is dangerous, both in individuals and in nations.
Alonso
In my comment above, I was appealing to all sane / normal individuals for action against the terror brought by the Lunatics in our societies. ISIS, CIA,Mi6,& all misfits are products of Society.. For thousands of years mankind has known suffering in all forms (war, plunder ,pillage, hunger, rape, destruction, etc) because Lunatics rule our Societies by hiding behind things like “Empire” & Racial superiority (exclusivity) & Religion. What does it take for ordinary people to stop the Lunatics who rule us, or have they managed to indoctrinate into their ranks of indifference to human life & suffering.
For me, the only hope is Jesus Christ. The opposite will be to slide through the “Gaussian bell” over and over again (like all bugs)
@Alonso
Thank you for pointing out importance of Wakhjir Pass, and Anglos obssesion on denying oponents usage of shortcuts.
(BtW, the only way to exploit territory vastly larger then own country, inhabited with population 20+ times bigger.)
Quadrillion $$$ question is why they allowed US retreat to happen?
Some thinks it is some elaborate ruse with yet undefined goals, that should be gained by clandestine means.
The other possibility is that rising power of Eastern alliance finaly crossed line of full-spectrum decline in Western alliance. Both trends are blatantly obvious.
Such paradigm shift always leads to severe finger-pointing among losing side. It is in Anglos tradition to blame someone for collective failures. Only, in this case, usual patsies will not do the trick. Due to sheer size of the problem.
Ironicaly, US is the weakest link in chain(s). Being multi-national, multi-racial, multi-confessional country, with civilians armed to the teeth, it is proverbial keg of powder. More precise analogy: nitroglycerine.
And it’s been shaken and exposed to the internal fire for years.
The fact that we can not see open fights among factions means only that we can not see. It does not mean that there are none.
It’s like watching a Black hole. Although invisible, it has very visible influence on its surrounding, which acts in otherwise unexplainable ways.
Black hole that eats US is reason why leaving Bagram looks more like defecting in the middle of the night then organized retreat. Pro-retreat faction in military was afraid that Anti-retreat faction will block/cancel it.
If true, that would tell one more devious thing. Anti-retreat faction doesn’t care how many American soldiers would die fighting for lost cause.
Is it far fetched to asume that Anti-retreat faction represents foreign interests?
Swarm of contradictory intel indicates that rift spans over three-letter agencies. MSM is still firmly entrenched.
Interesting times ahead. Good luck to all of us.
Pepe, Pepe, Pepe.
I love you. But this piece is like applying a slather of hi-gloss paint over wood rot.
[Now, I suppose you must be careful what you write, and therefore how honest you can be. There have been more than enough dead journos over the years, and I for one wish you good health into great old age.]
But this piece really just flirts, then skirts, the real issues, now doesn’t it?
Like:
§§ Responsibility for the bombing came via a statement on the Telegram channel of Amaq Media, the official Islamic State (ISIS) news agency.
So who runs and funds “centralized ISIS command”. Where are they based? Who are they?
§§ And that would also suggest that the bombing may have been organized by an ISIS-Khorasan sleeper cell.
And who runs and funds “sleeper cells”?
§§ Sophisticated electronic analysis of their communications would be able to prove it – tools that the Taliban don’t have.
……But the matrix of “intelligence” services do.
So… logically, [to quote Monty Python ….if she floats, she’s made of wood, and therefore….. a Witch!!!!……]
No. …Logically. If the coalition of “intelligence” services (NSA, 5eyes, Mossad) wanted to shut down “ISUS”, they absolutely have the tools.
So…therefore… they don’t want to shut down “IS-US”. …… because? ………ISUS is in their employ.
§§ So it’s clear that the newly reborn Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and the former occupying power are facing the same enemy……
Yes. The enemy is the shadowy “intelligence” coalition.
§§ ISIS-K started to become a real destabilizing force in 2020 when…
…… When Trump said the US military was pulling out of Afghanistan. And Therefore removing the (taxpayer paid for) custodians of the poppy fields and the air cover/transport.
§§ NATO intell [(lol)]……
Significantly, the absolute majority are non-Afghans: Iraqis, Saudis, Kuwaitis, Pakistanis, Uzbeks, Chechens and Uighurs.
Yes. Brzezinski’s “Stirred up Moselems”……
The same garbage can of mercenaries that have been recruited across Central Asia for the last almost century to be used as tools to destabilise Russia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Syria, Libya, Burma, Egypt, Tunisia, (to name but just a few..its a long list).
§§ Even the BBC reported in late 2017 on hundreds of ISIS jihadis given safe passage out of Raqqa, and out of Syria, right in front of the Americans.
Well Dur. It was just another unit being redeployed……
§§ Paragraphs covering origins of IS-US, and brand differentiations between Al-quada and mudjadeens, and Talibans and Jahabet el Nusra…
C’mon Pepe…. every single one of these were originally “test tube” babies spawned by CIA-Mi6. Every one. A bit of DNA from here, another bit from there, splice together…. and create a creature to terrorise and spread chaos….. all the while enjoying “plausible deniability” and engaging in the kabuki of “fighting” terrorism…
This iteration of the “Taliban”, seems to have disassociated from the late 1990s CIA Taliban…. but what do we really know?
§§ no one aside from ISIS wants a terrorized Afghanistan
And again…. who *is* “ISIS?
Please Pepe…. all your wonderful writing talent …your amazing years of travel and knowledge…. please… ?
Thanks.
Mr. Escobar is a polite writer – he does not give explicit list of parties who profit from the bombing, but giving selected facts he gives hints to infer who that might be. Pretty clear.
Most commenters here are quite aware who is (are) creator(s) of ISIS.
Also, air lift Idlib-Afghanistan is not a regular airline held by certain civil air company.
Such a terrible event, intended to add to chaos in Kabul, is a desperate, and clumsy as well, move, as many previous moves and steps (we all know very well the (p)layer), which will give the cause (not to say casus belli) to the other side to “wake” sleeping cells.
I wouldn’t expect some Syria-style official call of new Taliban government, but in any case understanding of special purpose high-tech actions against lazy members of ISIS-K (does it mean isis-killed?) who are so prone to sleep.
if I were Taliban, I would start to round up and interrogate all those who speak with an accent outside of the local language groups. They are all suspects. It is ultimately the only way to separate the indigenous from the troublemakers from the Arabic group. It is hard to hide your origin from the way you speak.
The Kremlin stressed the pair’s “readiness to step up efforts to combat threats of terrorism and drug trafficking coming from the territory of Afghanistan”; the “importance of establishing peace”; and “preventing the spread of instability to adjacent regions.”
This is the most ‘heartwarming’ paragraph in Pepe’s illuminating article as far as Afghanistan’s immediate future is concerned. I have been praying the SCO will get directly involved in securing Afghanistan’s safety. The combined might of RF, PRC, other SCO members, and Iran have not been seen just yet but ISIS-K has just lit the fuse of a keg of gunpowder that is about to explode and consume them.
It has been months since both countries issued warnings and they always mean business — this fact may be lost in the rarefied air of the upper echelons of FUKUS/Nato where they believe their own propaganda. RF has shown its mettle in Syria against the bogus jihadis there but this time it is going to be different. If the detectable change of tone in the rhetoric of RF (downplaying Israeli ‘success’ in its Syria bombing campaign) and PRC (which suffered casualties in the recent attack at Gwadar) is anything to go by, this time their ZioWahhabi sponsors in the ME — and even FUKUS/Nato which even now are discussing their division of labour re RF, PRC — are going to feel the heat as well and we can expect some of them to have a change of heart soon.
I fervently hope that when they and the Talibs take on ISIS-K, they’ll defeat this genuine terrorist outfit, this slither of snakes, in detail and singe the hands that feed them.
The suicide bomber who carried out “the martyrdom operation near Kabul airport” was identified as one Abdul Rahman al-Logari.
Martyr, God needs more blood. Martyrs are mudered for their faith not murders for their faith. You have no right to call this man a marytr. He is by right a murder. They can’t even stand the thought of the blood leaving cause they got to fertilize Afghan ground with Afghan blood. Bulls or your neighbor, someone has to be sacrificed.
“You have no right to call this man a marytr.”
Please, do not be too harsh on poor man. It steals highlight from organizers. All we know is what we are spoon-fed from Twitter/MSM.
He could be random usefull idiot, given some money, fake pass, and promise that now he can go through checkpoint with luggage. He could be thinking its the luckiest day in his life, given oportunity to escape Kabul.
Until someone pressed button on remote control.
Much safer for the organizers then using known member of group.
“The horrific Kabul suicide bombing introduces an extra vector in an already incandescent situation: It aims to prove, to Afghans and to the outside world, that the nascent Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is incapable of securing the capital.”
And who benefits from destabilizing Afghanistan in this manner?
Cui Bono?
Obviously, the United States of America and its NATO allies.
America wants to destabilize Afghanistan in order to sabotage China’s New Silk Road (BRI) and Russia’s Eurasian integration economic projects, both of which require stability in order to traverse part of Afghanistan.
This is typical of America’s malign behavior, and why the United States is a threat: If the USA can’t compete with another nation, it’s resorts to smear campaigns, political destabilization, economic siege warfare (sanctions), and state-sponsored terrorism.
In short, American Hybrid Warfare.
As Pepe Escobar himself has written about in his 2014 book, America is the “Empire of Chaos.” The USA deliberately sows chaos so as to weaken its geopolitical opponents and hinder their resistance to America’s unipolar Rules-Based World Order.
The Americans, however, like to hide behind the skirts of their allies (like Turkey) in order to foment terrorism around the world–from the Balkans to the Middle East to the Caucasus to Central Asia.
Former Afghan President Karzai Calls Islamic State ‘Tool’ of US

Columbia University Researchers Confirm Turkey’s Links to ISIS
https://anca.org/columbia-university-researchers-confirm-turkeys-links-to-isis/
The Columbia piece is rather old, predating the CIA Gülenist coup attempt, and is also published by an armenian nationalist anti-Turkish group, so may have less relevance today or even then.
Erdoğan’s AKP in 2014 was well into its neo-Ottoman phase and closely working with the US/NATO alies to overthrow Assad. The evidence here is just the US using its NATO ally to supply and support their Al Queda terrorists of various labels against the Assad government and the Syrian people.
Of course, Erdoğan still has his dreams, and to a certain end they still coincide with the US/NATO to overthrow Assad, but Russia and Iran have tempered them somewhat.
Erdogan lost his mind when he profaned again Hagia Sophia.
“In parallel, it’s no secret among intel circles in Eurasia that ISIS-K has become disproportionally more powerful since 2020 because of a transportation ratline from Idlib, in Syria, to eastern Afghanistan, informally known in spook talk as Daesh Airlines.”
Using ISIS to do the dirty work (as in Irak, Syria and Libya) will not work in Afghanistan.
Most probably it will be the deserved graveyard for this lunatics.
Cheers from France.
pepe, flushing the IS-K out of syria was different than removing them from afghanistan now. The pak army will be more effective than russia in defeating IS-K, as they have already battered TTP in pakistan. Russia’s air strikes and military toys will certainly prove to be beneficial.
My theory regarding the khorasan name of IS-K is to attract the muslims, who believe in an end time prophesy about a muslim army with black banners rising from khorasan, which will liberate jerusalem. The ISIS even has a black flag. The CIA is certainly trying their best to make the IS-K look authentic to the muslims.
“…khorasan name of IS-K is to attract the muslims, who believe in an end time prophesy about a muslim army with black banners rising from khorasan”
Good point. Narative has all trademarks of usual PRbs.
“… with black banners rising from khorasan, which will liberate jerusalem. The ISIS even has a black flag. The CIA is certainly trying their best to make the IS-K look authentic to the muslims.”
Look, anyone with at least a 101-level understanding and appreciation of Islamic civilizational history and aesthetic sentiments can tell in a micro-second that those flags with the cartoonish writing are not authentic.
These people, who do not use images, poured all their creativity into the script and found near perfection in presenting their holy book 1,000 years before the European primitives had even worked out what zero was in the 16th century — and that was from plagiarizing the Arabic “sifr” or “empty” letter.
The French have an acute taste for the phonic shibboleths in their spoken lingo. The same here in the visual realms for appreciative eyes. Looking at that clearly cartoonish child’s effort, at being ‘woke’ or something, is about equivalent to hearing Donald Duck do the call to prayer and seeing Mickey Mouse lead it. Now who was that stooge with the ritzy Swiss watch on his wrist? … Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi Rolex?
These cult-leader characters pop-up as regularly as the ‘Penguin’ or ‘Joker’ in a Batman flick for 8-year old’s — as required for an empire mass-media foil. The ‘we know who’ (or is it the ‘we who know’?) run Hollywood under contract to keep the mass domestic population infantile and receptive to the programming on call. The only antidote is popcorn and watching the Russians and Chinese slowly herd and close/lock the asylum doors, such is the scale of the deception.
Take a few sheets of used toilet paper and have a good look. That is a good aesthetic proxy for the evil hands and minds that have managed to scrawl these half-literate symbols. Those with eyes to see; let them see, … (or words to that effect). The shaitans have perhaps learnt to write scrawl, but not well enough, with respect for the holy, to fool the educated.

Where did you found your pair of sunglasses with Hoffman lenses?
Well, we are lucky to have Escobar in this moment. He has had his favourites, at times, but, as a true journalist, he does shed much light. Perhaps there is more he could say but, you know, he wants to live, and live reasonably well. Thank you Saker for posting his articles.
Question: who don’t like Afghanistan being partner in One Belt One Road process? The whole so called west. Most of people don’t have no idea what kind of tool ISIS is in hand of US-Israel-Turkey-MI6.
All talk of “ISIS-K” seems to me to be a smokescreen to hide the story that someone wants us not to notice: That some NATO actor ia evacuating the Arab and Uighur crazies from Northern Syria and infuse that infection into parts of Afghanistan.
I hate to mention this ( afraid of the torrent of replays that might ensue )
but… if one peals back the layers (we are talking thousands of thousands of years) the geopolitics and essentially every aspect of our “modern” world (it is not modern by the next life standards – ) according to my research and inductive logic only our “modern” world is very pre-historic- compared to the next world
The deception is incredible advanced…and not human in nature (you do the homework)
we are living in a pre planed highly complex construct- of infathonable proportions and planning- evil big time.
Based off of nonreligion (Messianic- Talmudic) going back to the discovery of the preserved skeletal remains the Mosses main protagonist – the start of Zionism- the entire fold of which is to get you me and everyone else to enter Hell’s gates- so the real question to concern everyone (the one no one will talk about) ..
1) can you prove God exists (I did that using statistics and DNA sequence- but anyone can do it using any version of intelligent design- ) (which is “contrary” to modern science- (but not to reason) so you have to think for yourselves- do not look for help from the media/ the public school/the universities (especially the pre- paid and bought out highly brainwashed professors/ book stores/ maybe even the internet at this stage)
2) if you want to battle the geopolitics start there (with yourselves first.. each and everyone of you… do not look for a group to hang out in…a blog…they do not think any more…can not find one anyway)
2) base your political analysis off of this (it is an internal battle)
3) start investigating all religions critically – figure out where they are all moving to- start asking God for help in ernest as a guide- events is moving too fast to just sit back any enjoy life… if you have not acted on this now is the time to get moving (I am refraining from offering any advice because each person is too complex and our construct of “civilization” has screwed up this to the point I have given up trying to deconstruct reality)
4) If one can start the internal struggle from this vantage point- then we have already won- because evil running the planet already knows Hell and Heaven exits – they know this- they are trying to hide it from you, me, and everyone) it is their job to make sure no one else can figure this out ( or prove it) and they have already done a very good job at the deception- they have a few thousands of years of head start on you- if you are just reading this now- it is nearly fool proof and air tight – they have nearly won- (all you have to do is think, observe, and ask God to guide you, or else you, me , and everyone is finished)
5) It is not a geopolitical battle but a battle for your soul ( modern science/ modern medice /bioengineering/ any form of genetics research / or any form of academia – does not recognize a soul exists- )
In less then 10 sentences I, or any thinking individual, can prove a soul exists using the biochemical process of sight, the recreation of it in the brain, then simply asking the question- “who exactly is looking at the recreated image in off a “dark screen ” somewhere in the recesses of your dark brain?” the important question to answer is the “who part” (not all the spectacular physics / biochemical/ equations part)
After having done this and proved to you a soul exists one has to jump right back into our “reality” real (construct-based on deception and lies) world … and basically be silent…again
I am just laying out the game hoisted out on us since birth, … and yes in this case the world is literally against you…
The probability is stacked against you, me, and everyone (I have done my research/ homework) (I do not wish to scare anyone…so start thinking on your own)
One has to start thinking, on our own, or find someone who can,
6) geopolotics is great only after having done all the difficult intelligent design religious thinking part (steps 1-5)
p.s appoligize ahead for any grammatical errors cuz I am not bothering to check sorry- But it is worth it is I helped out even one person
Good work Bostonian; Don’t hesitate. I respect that you at least are being real with the science. In these times a major feature of our struggle lies in advancing the science that proves the existence and presence of a loving Creator. Good work on your part for bringing that forward. Intelligent design and evolution are the same thing. A world of denial is now collapsing into what you have clearly foreseen. As you say self centering is the key to sound politics now.
https://newsmedia.tasnimnews.com/Tasnim/Uploaded/Image/1400/06/06/1400060613491947423488874.jpg — the International Road Transport Union (IRU) has reported that after the successful completion of a road transit test from Bandar Abbas (Iran) to Tajikistan, the Kyrgyzstan-Tajikistan-Afghanistan-Iran (KTAI) corridor is now officially open for international road transportation under the TIR convention.
This corridor provides the shortest possible road from Iran to Kyrgyzstan, and reduces the normal transport time by 5 days.
This new trade route will open the region to commerce and development, while it also offers transportation and transit operators a significant reduction in cost and time.
According to the report, the transit test began at Bandar Abbas, one of the world’s 100 big ports, and passed through Afghanistan, where Afghan officials were waiting to greet the caravan.
The TIR trucks safely made their way through Afghanistan, to their destination, Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan.
According to the World Bank, the population of the four countries along this corridor is over 128 million, and their combined GDPs over half a trillion dollars.
The intent behind the KTAI corridor is entrance into growing markets.
Thus Russia, China and a weak Iran will be again bogged down in yet another quagmire. Who benefits other than US and Israel?
Anglo-American power and interests are finished. All they can do now is what they spent the last century becoming most expert in – sowing discord and division through subterfuge, violence and economic destruction. This is the only card they have left to play. A whole century wasted in murderous Machiavellian power plays and abject failure in projecting any intelligent power that might otherwise have served to make the world safer, more prosperous and egalitarian. Al Qaeda and then ISIS were / are their creation.
Call 0900 Bolton for more regime overthrow and viral madness.
Let’s all hope that SCO can keep emerging as a more intelligent alternative and counterbalance to this theatrical farce the Anglo-American/EU are passing off as ‘democracy and freedom’ (sick joke)
Joe Biden and his disappearing sidekick giggling Kamala Harris are now the leaders of the free world?? It’s a Punch and Judy comedy puppet show, “America is back” – pass the popcorn.
Another shocking development in the recent Kabul Airport bombing.
Eyewitnesses to the bombing say that American (and Turkish) troops shot and killed Afghani civilians during the event.
And this is why the body count (over 150 civilians and 28 Taliban) is so high for such a suicide bombing. The article below states:
“If the suicide bomber was so close to the inner perimeter checkpoint manned by U.S. forces why were so many Taliban, who manned checkpoints at the outer perimeter, killed in the incident?
The Times writes:
Just after the bomb went off, Defense Department officials said, fighters nearby began firing weapons. The officials said that some of the Americans and Afghans at Abbey Gate might have been hit by that gunfire.
What fighters nearby?
The BBC correspondent in Kabul has asked people who where there:
Secunder Kermani @SecKermani – 7:21 UTC · Aug 28, 2021
Our report from last night on the awful ISIS attack outside Kabul airport as families still search Kabul’s morgues for their loved ones..
Many we spoke to, including eyewitnesses, said significant numbers of those killed were shot dead by US forces in the panic after the blast
The correspondent talks to the brother a London taxi driver who was in Kabul to fetch his family:
A: “Somehow I saw American soldiers, Turkish soldiers and the fire was coming from the bridges, from the towers.”
Q: “From the soldiers?”
A: “Yeah, from the soldiers.”
(Side note: Some of the towers around the airport were reportedly manned by members of the CIA’s Afghan death squads.)
Another witness:
Narrator: “Noor Mohamed had had been deployed alongside American forces.”
A man holding up an identity card of a friend talks about his death in English.
A: “The guy has served U.S. army for years. And the reason he lost his life – he wasn’t killed by Taliban, he wasn’t killed by ISIS, he was (unintelligible).”
Q: “How can you be sure?”
A: “Because of the bullet. The bullet went inside of his head. Right here.” (Points to the back of his head.) “He doesn’t have any (other) injury.”
The Pentagon did not respond to the BBC’s request for comments.”
The Never Ending Lies About The War On Afghanistan:
https://www.moonofalabama.org/2021/08/the-never-ending-lies-about-the-war-on-afghanistan.html
So now it’s only 1 bomb?
I initially read that there were 3 bombs, all outside of the airport, high number of casualties were due people queuing…?
More on the attack:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9934425/Marine-commander-relieved-duties-saying-senior-leaders-need-admit-messed-up.html
“Pentagon officials said on Friday that there was only one suicide bomber at Kabul airport on Thursday and not two, as was previously claimed, adding to confusion over the attack and fears for the ongoing operation on the ground.
Speaking at a briefing on Friday, Army General Hank Taylor said: ‘I can confirm that we do not believe there was a second explosion at or near the Baron hotel. It was one suicide bomber.
In the confusion of very dynamic events can cause information to get confused,’ he said. “
interesting that in their propaganda photos: isis in syria, isis in afghanistan, boko haram, and, i believe some of the somali terrrorists all seem to have the same uniforms: long pull over jersey, complete hood and face mask, “cool” allah akbar green headband. Interesting that the more western looking ones often have the physique of israeli reservists ( overweight) and use israeli stances (parade rest, etc).
They have the same supply sergeant i suspect.
It seems that most of the victims were shot and massacred by American troops. Hospital in Wazir Akbar Khan district, Kabul, confirms receiving 140 dead bodies, mostly shot. After the suicide bombing panicked American troops fired at the crowd.

the West has proven that it cannot secure its capitols from ISIS inspired attacks so Afghanistan will be in the same boat. The only real issue here is are the US and the UK aiding and abetting ISIS in this scheme of discrediting and destruction. I would find it hard to believe they are not, if only to deter the Chinese from its infrastructure plans and create the chaos from which these agencies profit so much. With the West it has actually now become such a negative sum game in which it isn’t so important that they profit but merely that no one else does, its that old slash and burn ‘if we can’t have it no one else can’ that empires old and new see as legitimate tactics.

Now the news (Aljazeera) is reporting the U.S. will conduct more attacks on Afghan ISIS and affiliates. (I wonder what they are really going to attack??) Looks like U.S. forces are not leaving Afghanistan so fast afterall.
So what to make of this?
The mockingbird’s mockingbird, Anderson Cooper at CNN
found 7minutes to air a report on ISIS-K.
Filmed 2 weeks ago.
https://mobile.twitter.com/AC360/status/1431424098677166082
First up. 7 minutes is quite a long piece, so someone wanted this “out there”.
And Cooper barely interrupted. (The incessant and pointless interruptions by media interviewers, drives me >^insane^<)
So the piece was important, and whoever wanted the info delivered, didn’t want the information lost in a cacophony of distraction.
Who facilitated the cnn interview ?
Who had heard of Isis-k prior to this week?
Was the cnn piece prepped and cooked? “here’s one prepared earlier!” Ready for use.
The cnn item claims the US is targeting ISIS-k. Yet a leader is able to easily meet cnn in the middle of Kabul.?
Is cnn consorting with the enemy?
The Isis-k operative says the group has split from the Taliban as the Taliban are “working with foreigner”.
Cnn does not ask about these “foreigners”. Given we have watched the Taliban conduct a mostly disciplined and strategic take over of Afghanistan, it’s intriguing that they are said to have had “foreign” help.
Isis-k, at one point, (not in this interview, but in a piece linked to from Saker site*) are said to have aligned with the US puppet Afghan govt. So whose payroll are they on?
If we accept the Kabul airport bombing was intended to show the Taliban aren’t fully in control…. who would want to create that “optic”.
Isis-k are themselves “foreign”, according to this 2019 paper:
Extract:
§§ IS-K largely consists of disenfranchised Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP) splinter groups, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) and a small segment of foreign terrorist fighters (FTT) of other origin (WW: So Syrian, Turkish “takfiris”)

Unrelated to Afghanistan, but Azerbaijan closed the Iran-Armenia road yesterday.
ISIS was the creation of the Mossad with a liberal helping of money from John McCain. Like Al Qaeda it is entirely a creature of the anglo-zionist intelligence agencies.
The deep state and MIC need a distraction from the Biden Administration’s failure. The suicide bombing was calculated to create public sympathy and support for the US regime, to justify staying involved in Afghanistan, etc.
