Mikael Cook served as a U.S. Army engineer in the reserves. He was sent to Afghanistan in 2019 helping to build out infrastructure for U.S. military camps, working with local translators and other workers. He befriended his Afghan co-workers, especially an interpreter, Muhammad, and his brother Abdul.Following the Trump administration's decision in 2020 to withdraw from Afghanistan after nearly 20 years, it fell to the Biden administration to execute the withdrawal which they did very abruptly in August 2021, creating administrative and civil chaos and abandoning our allies and billions of dollars of U.S. military equipment. The scene at Kabul's Hamid Karzai International Airport were horrific with thousands of Afghans, who had worked for the U.S. and feared Taliban reprisals, desperate to escape. With no helping coming from the Biden administration, it fell to an ad hoc coalition of U.S. civilians and military members ­­– later dubbed “Digital Dunkirk' – to help rescue as many Afghans as they could. On August 26, 2021, in the midst of the chaos at the airport, an ISIS-K terrorist suicide bomber detonated an explosive belt that killed 13 U.S. servicemen and over 169 Afghan civilians.Mikael Cook tells this tragic and dramatic story from various perspectives in his riveting book, “Life and Death at Abbey Gate: The Fall of Afghanistan and the Operation to Save Our Allies.”Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

Mikael was on the ground during the catastrophic US evacuation from Afghanistan in August 2021. He made it his mission to save as many Aghan allies as possible and is personally responsible for the safe exit of 20 allies. While some made it out, Mikael talks about the deep moral injury this abandonment has caused.   When it became apparent that it was impossible to evacuate everyone in Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA), Digital Dunkirk was born—an ad hoc, public-private, digital-based effort involving thousands of people around the world that came together to save as many people from the carnage of the Taliban.   Get your copy of Life and Death at Abbey Gate: https://amzn.to/42Sehnx   Learn more about Mikael Cook and Digital Dunkirk: Website - https://www.mikaelcook.com/   Join the SOFREP Book Club here: https://sofrep.com/book-club See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Celebrity Salute, we welcome a truly heroic human being, Bryan Stern, to the podcast to discuss his group: Project Dynamo. Project Dynamo is an umbrella term encompassing two operations — Digital Dunkirk and Dynamo II. Both efforts are being run by extraordinary civilians with no ties to the U.S. government attempting to do the impossible — saving Americans and Afghan allies who are fearing for their lives as the Taliban regains control of Afghanistan. Randy speaks with Byran about how being at Ground Zero of the World Trade Center on 9/11 influenced the work he is doing today.

Today's guest is is an American writer, broadcaster, and filmmaker, Benjamin Bryant. He was a government official in the Obama Administration and also works as an artist and actor. During the Afghan evacuation in 2021, Bryant coordinated the emergency evacuation of Afghan allies and families, and served as a spokesperson for the "Digital Dunkirk" coalition. 

During and after the recent collapse of Afghanistan's bid for freedom thousands of loyal Afghans as well as American families were left trapped in that country with little hope of escape and great fear of execution. A great effort was made within a very limited time frame by a number of civilian groups to provide hope and in many cases a path to freedom for these refugees. We speak here with two people who were at the center of one of these relief efforts, Andrew Gardner and Annie Hardy.

Christopher Meyer has had an action-packed life. For 33 months, he was deployed across three combat zones, in support of special operations. He received a Bronze Star in Afghanistan. He is the artistic director of a new theater: Veterans Repertory Theater. And, like many other vets, he has been involved in the effort to rescue Afghan allies, on the run and facing death. Some people speak of a “Digital Dunkirk.” You will want to hear what Chris Meyer has to say: he is eloquent, blunt, informed, and determined. 

On this episode of “The Federalist Radio Hour,” Digital Dunkirk’s Alex Plitsas joins Federalist Senior Editor Chris Bedford to discuss how he’s helping American citizens and other at-risk Afghans escape the grasp of the Taliban.

On this episode of “The Federalist Radio Hour,” Digital Dunkirk’s Alex Plitsas joins Federalist Senior Editor Chris Bedford to discuss how he’s helping American citizens and other at-risk Afghans escape the grasp of the Taliban.

On today's episode, Chris takes a beat at the top to call it as he sees it: good on the Biden administration for listening to military leadership and creating a 'public/private partnership' to centralize information and unify purpose in aiding those who are still trying to leave Afghanistan. #DigitalDunkirk And then he Gets After It: how long will the majority of Americans stand for being held hostage by the minority who refuse to get vaccinated? Biden's E.O. mandating the vaccine for federal employees and contractors is a step toward saying 'enough is enough', but Chris is concerned that the unintended consequence of a mandate is that it can also create deeper resistance. PLUS: A Deeper Look: As the Los Angeles Unified School District decides whether to mandate vaccines for their students aged 12 and up, the question remains: should they?

In today's Episode, Chris argues that when 50% of the representation represents 20% of the population, it allows for a Tyranny of a Minority. We see this in cancel culture as well as laws crafted from extreme views within the parties. The state of Texas' abortion law is reflective of a minority interest. Chris also looks at the SCOTUS decision not to freeze the state law, by and large tilting their hand as to how they might rule in the coming Mississippi case this fall that asks for a 15 week viability standard.And while abortion is being restricted in the most significant way since Roe v Wade was decided in 1973, Texas in the same week enacted a law to allow gun owners to open carry in public with no license or training. Also on the table: a Second Guess on #Digital Dunkirk as veterans and U.S. citizens outside the government work to help get people out of Afghanistan after the U.S. evacuation and withdrawal has ended.

Fault Lines welcomes Ryan Browne, former CNN correspondent at the Pentagon, to continue NSI's discussion on Afghanistan. What does the future hold for individuals on the ground in Afghanistan following the withdrawal? Will we continue to see efforts from “Digital Dunkirk”-style groups? What kind of internal struggles may the Taliban experience as they begin attempting to function as a government? These questions and more are covered in this week's episode of Fault Lines.

Veterans are raising money online and working connections to get former translators out of Kabul ahead of the American departure. They are calling it a digital Dunkirk. Meanwhile, the San Diego's Public Utilities Department wants to raise water and wastewater rates to cover rising costs. But customers could block the proposal if enough people submit written protests. Plus, most housing experts expect home prices to continue to rise.

We've all seen the disturbing images of thousands of people scrambling to get out of the Karzai Airport in Afghanistan. Who will live? Who will die? Who is making it onto American planes? And who is not? What the hell is really happening on the ground?  Independent Americans continues our unique focus on the collapse of Afghanistan with an urgent new conversation with an inspiring American leader who's working night and day to save lives.

This is a fast-paced pod that will show you the sides you won't see on cable news. It'll help you understand the ground truth, avoid the spin, and understand what's really happening. You'll also get a deeper look into the policy failures, military challenges and humanitarian needs--and hear why Biden's new August 31st pull-out date may be a death warrant for thousands.  Kristen Rouse (@TrueBoots) is one the most important veteran and national security advocates in America.

Branding their effort the "Digital Dunkirk" in homage to the civilians bringing their boats to rescue British and French forces along the coast of the English Channel in 1940, Sara explains how this network operates, the dangers that still exist in trying to get people to the airport, and how the Biden administration's response has been "a disgrace."Sara also welcomes former Trump White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer to discuss the Biden administration's response to this crisis and what other policy disasters likely await our nation thanks to the Biden team.Please visit our great sponsors:My Pillowhttps://mypillow.com/carterSleep better with My Pillow Giza Dream Sheets now available for only $49.99 with code CARTER.The Association of Mature American Citizenshttps://amac.us/carterThe benefits of membership are great, but the cause is even greater.Tunnel to Towershttps://T2T.orgDuring this 20th anniversary year of 9/11, help America to NEVER FORGET.

In this episode, I interview Rob Knake, Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, about his recent report, “Weaponizing Digital Trade -- Creating a Digital Trade Zone to Promote Online Freedom and Cybersecurity.” The theme of the report is what the U.S. can salvage from the wreckage of the 1990s Magaziner Consensus about the democratizing and beneficent influence of Silicon Valley. I suggest that it really ought to be called “Digital Dunkirk,” rather than invoking a swaggering “weaponization” theme.  Rob and I disagree about the details but not the broad outlines of his proposal.  In the news roundup, we finally have a Google antitrust complaint to pore over, and I bring Steptoe's Michael Weiner on to explain what the complaint means. Bottom line: it's a minimalist stub of a case, unlikely to frighten Google or produce structural changes in the market. Unless a new administration (or a newly incentivized Trump Justice Department) keeps adding charge after charge as the investigation goes on. Speaking of Justice Department filings that may serve up less than meets the eye, DOJ has indicted GRU hackers for practically every bad thing that has happened on the internet in the last five years, other than the DNC hack. (In fact, I lost an unsaved Word document in 2017 that I'm hoping will be added to the charges soon.) The problem, of course, is that filing the charges is the easy part; bringing these state hackers to justice is unlikely in the extreme.  If so, one wonders whether a policy that requires an indictment for all the cyberattacks on the US and its allies is a wise use of resources. Maury Shenk thinks it might be, at least in demonstrating US attribution capabilities, which are indeed impressive. While we are covering questionably effective U.S. retaliation for cyberattacks, Maury also notes that the Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on TsNIIKhM, a Russian institute that seems to have developed industrial control malware that caused massive outages in Saudi Arabia and may have been planted in U.S. energy systems as well. Again, no one doubts that heavy penalties should be imposed; the doubt is about whether these penalties will actually reach TsNIIKhM. Nick Weaver celebrates the German government's dawn raid on spyware exporter, FinFisher. Maury expresses modest hope for Facebook's Oversight Board now that it has started reviewing content moderation cases. Color me skeptical. Now that we've seen the actual complaint, Nick has his doubts about the Microsoft attack on Trickbot. It may be working, he says, but why is Microsoft doing something that the FBI could have done? I pile on, raising questions about the most recent legal theory Microsoft has rolled out in support of its proposed remedies. Finally, in quick hits:  I hum a few bars from “John Henry” in response to a Bloomberg story suggesting that CEOs are successfully beating the AI engines parsing their analyst calls and trading on the results. Maury debunks the parts of the story that made it fun, but not before I've asked whether Spinal Tap was decades ahead of its time in repackaging failure. Maury also notes the ho-hum upcoming Judiciary Committee testimony of Twitter and Facebook CEOs about their suppression of the New York Post “laptop from hell” Hunter Biden story.  I'm much more interested in the Commerce Committee's subpoenaing of contacts between the campaigns and those companies.  Because you just know the campaigns have a whole strategy for working the speech refs, and it would be an education to see how they do it.  Nick and I congratulate Edward Snowden on the confirmation that he'll be in Russia forever.  And more!
