Podcasts about Kandahar

EP.633Hosted by Michael Decon, with co-host Daniel and special guest Brad Olsen, this episode dives headfirst into the strange and controversial world of giants, elongated skulls, ancient DNA anomalies, and the possibility that pieces of human history have been hidden in plain sight. Brad Olsen brings firsthand accounts from the field, describing ancient skulls, megalithic sites, and discoveries that he believes challenge the standard story of human origins.The guys explore claims of giant beings across the world, including the Kandahar giant, Nephilim references, RH negative bloodlines, and theories of DNA tampering or hybrid ancestry. The conversation also touches on religious implications, institutional suppression, and the idea that powerful groups may have no interest in revealing evidence that could rewrite history. https://michaeldeconhttps://endofdaysradio.comhttps://cccpublishing.com

Canadian Armed Forces veteran and arm-wrestling legend Devon Larratt just shared one of the wildest military stories you will ever hear. While discussing the famous Kandahar Giant legend, Larratt said he personally saw an Afghan warlord who appeared to be around eight feet tall. According to Larratt, the man was massive, broad, and far outside the normal human range.For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (656) 218-0931 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/nez▶Sign up to our Free Newsletter, so you never miss out: https://bio.site/professornez▶ ORIGINAL MADE IN U.S.A 250TH AMERICA DESIGNS: https://professornez.myspreadshop.com/

When Cetshwayo kaMpande was captured after the Anglo-Zulu War, he was ferried to Cape Town and on to Robben Island. His countenance was one of dignity but that is difficult to maintain in the face of terrible sea-sickness. The Zulu king had made it be known that he was afraid of the sea, and his nervousness compounded the queasiness. He was also terribly sea-sick on the five day voyage from Port Durnford, modern day Richards' Bay, and Simons Town. He and his five wives who'd joined him in captivity were ensconced in a hut that had been erected for him on the poop deck, from where he watched the activities on the shore for almost a week before he disembarked. As he observed all the ships, the developments on the coast, it became apparent that his attempt at fighting the powerful British empire had always been doomed. When he eventually stepped onto Cape turf, his appointed custodian Captain J Ruscombe Poole of the Royal Navy escorted the Zulu King from Simon's Town. Like Nelson Mandela's minders much later, Captain Ruscombe-Poole was a sympathetic jailer, so too the king's interpreter, Henry Longcast. Henry was an Irish orphan who'd been brought up at the KwaMagwaza Mission station and had known Cetshwayo since he was a child. An odd relationship developed between these two men, Longcast was a straighforward honourable man, and became Cetshwayo's advisor - never betraying the Zulu King's trust. Joining Cetshwayo in exile was Mkhosana kaZangqana, formely one of Mpande's counsillors. Three other attendants were at hand, including the royal hairdresser, four young women of royal standing, and a female servant. They were first to spend time in the Flagstaff Bastion of the 17th Century Castle in Cape Town, where they were alloted a suite of apartments and a parapet for daily walks. Throngs of what they called daytrippers in Victorian times, we would describe them as tourists, gathered to catch a glimpse of the Zulu King on the heights of the Castle. Back in Zululand, Sir Garnet Wolseley had been fashioning together a new Zulu system. Believe it or not, it resembled the system resembled what the British were trying to impose on Afrghanistan. There Lord Lytton was trying to secure the North West Frontier of India, what is now Pakistan, by breaking Afghanistan into a number of impotent principalities. There local princes who were sympathetic to British control would be handed the levers of power. Wolseley wanted to secure the safety of Natal and the Transvaal by fragmenting the Zulu kingdom. Sir Theophilus Shepstone was the go-to once more, along with ex-Cape Native Affairs Secretary Charles Brownlee and Natal commissioner, Sir Henry Bulwer. Shepstone's main aim was to destroy the power of the Zulu royal family, and believed it was fragile anyway. This was a miscalculation on numerous fronts. Cetshwayo may have been in exile, but the concept of political power in Zululand was well and truly in the hands of the extended Royal Family. Thirteen chiefs should be nominated, said Shepstone, each independent of the other but utterly dependent on the British. Much much further north, in Afghanistan, Lord Lytton the British Viceroy of India, envisaged Kandahar province as the bulwark against the rebellious tribes of Afghanistan and the wild mountains of north western India. The British defeated Sher Ali Khan in the war between 1878 and 1880. Lytton's vision involved separating key regions and strengthening frontier zones that could be more easily influenced from India. In this thinking, Kandahar mattered enormously. It sat astride the routes connecting southern Afghanistan to the approaches toward the Indian subcontinent, linking trade and military corridors running west toward Persia and north toward central Afghanistan. By now, Cetshwayo kaMpande was technically free to return from exile once these arrangements had been made, but he first requesting a meeting with Queen Victoria.

Doing good, Charlie. know, real quick, I did not catch the ad that the person was absolutely pointing out the truth of Lindsey Graham. Why did he wait so long for that ad? That ad is brilliant. That is that is everything. The only thing he left out, he should have put in there, hey folks, 00:29 You want to know who was instrumental in the Russian hoax? Lindsey Graham. That's right. Hey, you know what is so funny because I think it was John, producer John said yesterday when that ad came on, he said, where was this ad two months ago? I like, right? I mean, please. 00:50 believe that man has got to go. If smarmy had a picture beside it in the dick 00:59 You're right. It's how we forgot him walking around Disney World with the Little Mermaid bubble wand. Yeah, Tinkerbell's wand. that. Yeah. What's up, Quick story. Thank God for Pete Hexas and Trump. But I'll tell you something, Charlie. It wasn't just the schools doing this, okay? I have a very good friend of mine that went in the Army in 1990, okay? An enlisted man. He excelled. 01:28 He absolutely excelled. took the Kandahar airport the first night of the war. Okay. He took that airport, his squad. You know how vital that airport was to our operations? Okay. guy, this guy's a patriot. This guy is a smart fella. You know, he came from a bad situation, family wise. Okay. He went into army and he made something of himself and he told me, said, I want to fly helicopters. And I said, well, 01:58 Wow, you know, won't that be an uphill climb? He said, yes, it will. So he went over a period of time. He was able to, you know, pass the test, get in there. He was on track. They had him actually flying old school Vietnam style Huey. Yeah. Okay. He comes home. He's excited. He's telling me all about it. And right as he's getting towards the end of it, I say, you know, when he comes back, say, you know, how'd you do, buddy? I'm out of it. And I said, why? 02:28 He looked at me and he said, well, I'm white. No, no. He said, said the instructor told me that right now they're taking others quote unquote. Yeah. That that score well below where he was. Yeah. And unless he could get in the top 10, he would not be selected because he was white. And I swear. 02:57 on my life. That's word for word what he told me. Yeah. Well, those days have come to an end under Pete Hicks. Well, but I'm sitting there going, wait a minute. Our lives are on the line here. The army is job, as Rush Limbaugh famously said, is to blow stuff up and kill people. Yeah. And when you lose track of that, you've lost it. OK? Yeah. It's that simple.

I know absolutely he cares about Americans. He cares about Americans by protecting us from Iran getting a nuclear weapon. That's how he cares about Americans. Listen, how long have we been in this war? What, eight weeks now? Ten weeks? 04:36 This isn't like this thing is dragged on for years. We're talking about weeks, not years. So, I I think we can hang on a little bit longer, Bill, and hopefully something will be done today. President Trump was in the Situation Room all day reviewing this plan with Iran. He has put out some just absolute hard lines here. He says they got to get rid of the enriched uranium. 05:06 no nuclear weapons, they've got to allow the US to come in and remove it, they've got to, if they do have any more mines in the Strait of Hormuz, um they got to get rid of those.

At four years old, Andrew Meari stood at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery and quietly told his mother: “Mommy, I'm going to be a soldier.” He never changed his mind. Years later, PFC Andrew Meari deployed to Afghanistan with the 101st Airborne Division, 1-502nd Infantry. On November 1, 2010, during combat operations in Kandahar, Andrew was killed in action while protecting his brothers during a motorcycle VBIED attack. He was 21 years old. In this powerful Memorial Week conversation, Gold Star Mother Denise Williams joins The MisFitNation to share the story behind the uniform… the little boy who loved history, the young man who dreamed of service, the soldier who stood forward, and the legacy that continues long after his final mission. But this episode goes deeper. It explores the reality of military sacrifice. The unimaginable moment a parent receives the call. The bond between soldiers. The strength of Gold Star families. And how purpose can still exist after devastating loss. Denise also shares:

He describes near-misses in mid-air, fuel emergencies, comms failures, and the constant risk of fratricide—all while supporting troops in contact on the ground.The central theme is stark: the biggest danger isn't always the enemy—it's the environment, the complexity, and your own decisions. Benji explains why the urge to drop a weapon can be the most dangerous instinct a pilot has—and why sometimes the right call is to hold fire.This episode is a raw, honest look at the reality of close air support—and the responsibility carried by the person in the cockpit.⸻0:00 intro teaser - CAS story2:40 Welcome back (Again!)

What does it take to go from a surf shop dropout to one of Britain's most elite Special Forces operators, then reinvent yourself all over again?Dean Stott MBE spent 16 years in the military, including time in the Special Boat Service (SBS), the UK's equivalent of SEAL Team Six. After a catastrophic parachuting accident at 15,000 feet ended his career, he refused to stop. He built a private security company from scratch, single-handedly evacuated the Canadian Embassy from war-torn Libya, rescued 220 people from Israel within 96 hours of the October 7th Hamas attacks, and, oh yeah, broke the world record for cycling the 14,000-mile Pan-American Highway in just 99 days, raising over $1.4 million for mental health charities along the way.In this conversation, Dean opens up about:— The parachuting accident that tore every ligament in his knee and ended his military career— Dressing as Taliban to run double agents in Kandahar, and the moment he nearly fired his weapon by mistake— How he buried 30 weapons in the Libyan desert and built a security empire from nothing— Why he believes anticipation is worse than participation— The raw "dead or divorce" conversation that changed everything in his marriage— Cycling 14,000 miles having barely ridden a bike — and smashing the world record by 17 days— How breathwork kept him calm in a boxing ring at age 49— His friendship with Prince Harry and the Heads Together mental health campaign— The Race Across America he's planning next, and why it's going to be specialDean is one of those rare humans who makes you rethink what's actually possible.

In this NDS Chronicles episode, David Lee Corbo (The Raven) and Top Lobster read raw paranormal testimonies while hyping the official Bohemian Grove 2026 event.First story: a man's lifelong black cat “familiar” appears during toxic relationships and leads him to scry in candle flame, hearing the whisper “Scotta” — confirmed in an Akashic Records reading as his Kaliak (ancient Celtic crone goddess) spirit guide from a past life as warlord turned monk in Scotland. They bail on the AI-slop story midway.Second testimony from Jesse (Ontario): his young daughter suffers horrific night terrors — standing, screaming, pissing herself with zero morning memory. After listening to NDS, the family purges Halloween decorations, Matilda, Zombieland, and demonic movies. They discover a witch aunt on dad's side and Freemason great-grandfather (sound editor on Invasion of the Body Snatchers & The Manchurian Candidate). Grandma's medium roommate and her black cat that went feral during her deathbed conversion to Christ seal the spiritual attack.Plus: full Bohemian Grove breakdown — VIP day Aug 7 at Standard Coffee Shop & Casino (live Bible study with Matt, Ed Mabry, possibly Laura Baker, 50-person cozy hang), main event Aug 8 at Wildwood Community Center (400 capacity, stage, merch, bar, live podcast streams), Timothy Albarino costume contest with megalithic prison pose, life-size Kandahar giant photo op, and more.Unboxing includes banana menorah, “It Ain't Gonna Suck Itself” lobster tank top, Dictionary of Angels book, and Dead Sea Scrolls texts.

Gut vier Jahre nach der Machtübernahme der Islamisten in Afghanistan zeigt sich: Die Taliban sind kein homogener Block. Zwischen dem extremistischen und dem pragmatischeren Lager schwelt ein Konflikt. Die Taliban haben ein neues Afghanistan geschaffen. Das Land am Hindukusch ist im fünften Jahr ihrer Herrschaft deutlich vorangekommen auf dem Weg zu einem totalitären Gottesstaat. Vor allem in den Städten herrscht die Angst, vor den Patrouillen der Sittenpolizei und dem allgegenwärtigen Geheimdienst. Gleichzeitig jedoch wird immer wieder klar: Die Taliban sind keine homogene Gruppe, es gibt deutliche Brüche zwischen den Pragmatikern in der Hauptstadt Kabul und den besonders Radikalen im südafghanischen Kandahar. Dort sitzt nämlich der geheimnisvolle Emir, der die oberste Autorität im Land darstellt. Er hat eine weitgehende Blockade des Internets angeordnet, er verbannt Mädchen von den Schulen und Frauen von den Universitäten. Doch seine Dekrete werden regelmässig von gemässigteren Regime-Vertretern sabotiert. Wohin also steuert das Land der Taliban?

A 12-foot redheaded giant in the mountains of Afghanistan… and a U.S. military squad that allegedly never made it back the same.This week, we're diving into the legend of the Giant of Kandahar—one of the wildest military conspiracy stories out there. Eyewitness accounts, missing reports, government cover-up rumors… and the question: did soldiers really encounter something that shouldn't exist?We break down the story, the “evidence,” and the theories—from ancient Nephilim to straight-up psy-op.

“What conclusion do you draw if you see a system that continues to grow more powerful despite failing at the things it says it's going to accomplish?” — Jacob SiegelJacob Siegel grew up in Brooklyn, studied history at Boston University, enlisted in the US Army after September 11, and fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. In Afghanistan, as an intelligence officer, he had the latest drones, sensors, Palantir databases, and predictive models at his fingertips — but still couldn't get a coherent answer about what, exactly, America was trying to accomplish in its war with the Taliban. To him, the technology was as extraordinary as the incoherence of the war.In his new book, The Information State: Politics in the Age of Total Control, Siegel argues that within a few years of coming home, those same tools were being used on American citizens. This “Information State” was born in Herat and Kandahar. It came home to our iPhones.But Siegel's Information State isn't the conventional leftist critique of Big Tech. Siegel argues that the Obama administration elevated the war on terror's surveillance apparatus into an art of progressive government — not as Orwellian censors but through a sprawling network of NGOs, fact-checkers, and media organisations that made authoritarian control look like liberal consensus. Ben Rhodes, one of the principal architects of the Information State, called it the echo chamber. Trump's version is cruder, more monarchical, more wannabe Orwellian. But the infrastructure, Siegel says, is the Internet itself. Digital society has spawned its own form of government regardless of who's in charge. This Kafkaesque system grows more powerful despite failing at everything it claims to do. You may not be interested in the Information State, but it sure is interested in you. Such is politics in the age of total control. Five Takeaways•       The War on Terror's Tools Came Home: Siegel was an intelligence officer in Afghanistan with drones, sensors, Palantir, and predictive databases at his fingertips — and couldn't get a straight answer about what America was trying to accomplish. Within a few years of returning, those same tools were being used on American citizens. The information state was born in Herat and Kandahar.•       Obama Built It. Trump Inherited It. Neither Owns It: The Obama administration elevated the war on terror's surveillance tools into an art of government — not as Orwellian censors but through a progressive gloss of rationality and correct social ideals. Trump's version is cruder, more monarchical, more direct. But the infrastructure is the Internet itself. Digital society spawns its own form of government regardless of who's in charge.•       The System Grows More Powerful by Failing: This is the Kafkaesque horror at the heart of the book.

« Mon espoir est que les portes de l'éducation soient ouvertes aux filles, que chaque fille puisse étudier et choisir un bon et juste chemin pour sa vie. » Aïcha Sana s'adresse à nous depuis la ville de Laghman, à 150 km à l'est de Kaboul. Elle nous dit son espoir de reprendre le chemin de l'école. Depuis le retour des Talibans au pouvoir en 2021, l'éducation des filles au-delà du primaire est de nouveau interdite, et les écoles secondaires pour filles restent fermées. Selon l'Unicef, plus de 2.2 millions d'Afghanes sont exclues des salles de classe.   Mais comment la génération de Sana vit-elle cette privation d'accès à l'éducation ? Et quelle mémoire gardent de l'école les femmes de la génération de sa mère et de sa grand-mère ? À quand remonte la première scolarisation des filles en Afghanistan et comment s'est développée l'éducation pour toutes et tous sous la période communiste ? Autant de questions posées par ma jeune consœur Najeba Arian à celles et ceux qui ont accepté de nous livrer leur témoignage en langues farsi et pachto, pour nous raconter un siècle d'éducation dans leur pays. À l'école des femmes afghanes, c'est un nouvel épisode documentaire de La marche du monde. À découvrir également, le podcast « Africaines Queens », l'histoire des femmes africaines racontée par elles-mêmes.   À l'école des femmes afghanes Un siècle après l'ouverture des premières classes en Afghanistan, les filles rêvent toujours de pouvoir étudier. Et pourtant, la question de l'éducation des filles a été posée dès les années 20 par Sa majesté le roi Amir Amanullah Khan Gazi. Lorsqu'il accède au pouvoir, l'une de ses premières mesures est de créer les conditions nécessaires pour permettre aux filles d'étudier et de travailler. Trois femmes pionnières — Son Altesse Sarwar Sultan (mère d'Amanullah), son épouse la reine Soraya Tarzi, et Asma Rasmia (mère de la reine Soraya épouse de Mahmoud Tarzi, Premier ministre à l'époque d'Amanullah) — vont ouvrir pour la première fois en 1921 une école primaire pour filles, appelée « Maktab-e Mastourat » (École des jeunes filles). Par la suite, cette école primaire a été transformée en lycée, et une école d'infirmières a été ajoutée. Des membres de la famille royale y ont étudié. Cette école a ensuite été renommée « Lycée Malalai ». Cependant, cette initiative a suscité l'opposition de certains milieux conservateurs religieux. Des soulèvements, notamment dans les régions du Sud et de l'Est, ont éclaté sous la direction de God Mullah, le mollah boiteux. Des révoltes ont également eu lieu à Kaboul, qui finirent par aboutir à l'insurrection dite « saqawie ». L'un des principaux arguments avancés contre les réformes d'Amanullah était que le roi serait devenu « mécréant » et qu'il envoyait des jeunes filles afghanes à l'étranger. Pourtant, les familles des jeunes filles envoyées à l'étranger avaient elles-mêmes insisté et donné leur consentement pour partir étudier. Durant la période saqawie, le règne d'Habibullah Kalakani, non seulement les écoles de filles ont été fermées et les départs vers l'étranger interdits, mais des changements ont été également imposés à l'éducation des garçons. Dans une déclaration d'Habibullah Kalakani, la physique, la chimie, les mathématiques et même la géométrie sont qualifiées de matières « impies », et le programme scolaire des garçons a lui été aussi restreint. Si la période saqawie a été une période de réaction conservatrice, le règne d'Habibullah Kalakani a été très court, de janvier à octobre 1929. Et lorsque Sa Majesté Nader Shah lui a succédé, l'espace éducatif a été réouvert… Le début des années 30 est considéré comme le temps du renouveau en Afghanistan. Non seulement des écoles sont créées à Kaboul, mais au-delà dans les provinces… une période dorée pour l'éducation ! Dans la famille de Tahera Shams, née en 1937 à Kaboul et ancienne élève du Lycée historique Malalaï fondée en 1921 à l'initiative de la reine Soraya, l'éducation des filles était une priorité. « Ma mère disait toujours : Lisez, apprenez quelque chose. Moi je suis restée sans instruction, mais vous devez devenir instruites. » Pour Tahera Shams, grande figure de l'activisme communiste afghan, l'époque du roi Mohammad Zaher Shah, entre 1933 et 1973, n'est absolument pas comparable avec la période des Talibans. À cette époque, la plupart des familles faisaient des efforts pour que leurs enfants aillent à l'école et réussissent dans la vie. « Pendant le règne du roi, j'allais normalement à l'école et les femmes étaient libres. Bien sûr, dans les zones rurales il y avait des problèmes, mais à Kaboul la vie était normale, malgré des difficultés économiques. » Ayant démarré sa scolarité à l'âge de 15 ans, Tahera entre à l'Université de Kaboul en 1965. Elle a tout juste 28 ans. Elle veut étudier la médecine, mais sa famille ne le lui permet pas, sachant qu'une femme médecin peut être amenée à travailler la nuit. Finalement, Tahera étudie la littérature persane. « Nous manifestions depuis l'Université de Kaboul. À cette époque, les autorités n'emprisonnaient pas les filles comme aujourd'hui. Les Talibans emprisonnent, torturent et violent les femmes, mais cela n'existait pas à notre époque. » Depuis le retour des talibans en 2021, il est impossible pour les jeunes filles de poursuivre leurs études au-delà de l'école primaire. Une décision justifiée par une interprétation passéiste du Coran, afin de contrôler la vie des femmes et de les séquestrer au sein de leur maison. Mais l'histoire de l'Afghanistan est longue et dans la mémoire collective des Afghanes, dans les récits transmis de grand-mère en petite fille, et de mère en fille, la figure de la femme éduquée existe. Depuis la reine Soraya à l'initiative de la première école pour fille jusqu'aux femmes médecins, ingénieures, professeures ou artistes sous les communistes. « L'esprit général était qu'il n'y avait aucune différence entre les hommes et les femmes, et que les droits des femmes et des hommes étaient presque égaux. Les possibilités d'études étaient très étendues. Les élèves qui obtenaient de bonnes notes étaient envoyés à l'étranger dans le cadre du mouvement des pionniers, en particulier vers les pays de l'Union soviétique. À leur retour, ils étaient ensuite employés en Afghanistan. » Homira Sabawoon est née en 1971. Lorsque l'Union Soviétique envahit l'Afghanistan en Décembre 1979, elle est une petite fille de huit ans. Mais l'occupation n'est pas la guerre et elle garde un souvenir heureux de sa scolarité sous influence soviétique. 10 années pendant lesquelles la résistance intérieure et extérieure des moudjahidines s'organise. Homira Sabawoon a 19 ans lors de la prise de Kaboul le 1er Janvier 1990. Alors qu'elle se prépare à suivre des études dans le domaine des beaux-arts, de la littérature et de la musique, sa vie bascule. « Beaucoup d'histoires de moudjahidines hantent notre mémoire, la plus emblématique est celle de Nahid, la martyre. Lorsque les milices de Abdul Rashid Dostom, célèbre chef de guerre du nord de l'Afghanistan, sont arrivées dans le quartier de Makrorayan pour piller les maisons, ils ont tenté d'agresser sexuellement Nahid. Elle s'est alors jetée du cinquième étage de sa maison. » Loin de Kaboul, les femmes subissaient moins frontalement la violence des exactions menées par les moudjahidines et leurs milices dirigées par des chefs de guerre jusque-là unis contre les communistes au pouvoir et leur soutien soviétique. Des femmes qui ont été massivement scolarisées et émancipées depuis les années 50 comme le rappelle notre spécialiste de l'histoire culturelle afghane, l'écrivain Abdul Ghafoor Liwal.  « En 1971, les progrès ont été tels que, dans une province conservatrice comme Kandahar, des jeunes filles ont participé à des compétitions internationales de basketball et remportèrent même une coupe de victoire. En l'espace de trois décennies, il s'agissait d'un progrès considérable. » Ghafoor Liwal est devenu un très grand poète de langue pachto. Dans ses textes, il n'oublie pas d'évoquer la condition terrible de ses sœurs afghanes privées d'éducation par ce qu'elles sont des femmes. « Lorsque les talibans arrivent au pouvoir en 1996, la guerre sous sa forme précédente a cessé, mais pour notre plus grand malheur, les talibans se sont immédiatement attaqué à l'éducation moderne. Les écoles existaient, mais pour les filles, toutes les possibilités ont disparu. Même l'éducation primaire a été interdite aux filles ; Seuls les garçons allaient à l'école, portant le turban, dans un contexte très difficile après une longue guerre civile. »   Pendant cette première période talibane, la liste des interdictions faîtes aux femmes est infinie. Interdiction d'aller à l'école, interdiction de sortir sans être entièrement recouverte par le hijab et sans être accompagnée d'un homme de la famille, interdiction de travailler et de voter, sans compter les lapidations à mort en place publique pour celles qui selon les Talibans ne respecteraient pas la loi islamique de la Charia. Homira Sabawoon est alors une jeune citadine de Kaboul âgée de 25 ans, grandie dans une famille à l'état d'esprit ouvert et progressiste. Elevée dans l'idée qu'une femme ne peut être véritablement indépendante que si elle possède une autonomie économique, et qu'une femme économiquement autonome ne peut être victime de personne. Homira a toujours cru en la liberté des femmes, convaincue que si elles étudiaient, elles pourraient travailler à l'avenir. C'est ainsi qu'elle crée l'école secrète, d'abord chez elle à Kaboul puis doit s'éloigner de la capitale trop dangereuse pour Laghman où la solidarité des voisons lui a permis d'éviter d'être arrêtée par les talibans. « Je me suis heurtée au problème du manque de livres. Même si je faisais beaucoup d'efforts pour enseigner au tableau. J'avais aussi des élèves qui avaient déjà terminé l'école mais ne voulaient pas perdre la possibilité d'apprendre. Je donnais les cours deux fois par jour : le matin de 10 h à 12 h et le soir après le dîner. Comme toutes les étudiantes étaient soit de jeunes enfants soit des femmes, venir le soir ne leur posait pas de problème. » L'arrivée de la République a été comme « ouvrir la porte de la cage pour un oiseau » se souvient Homira : soudain, la liberté s'est offerte et les femmes ont beaucoup progressé. Un avantage de son enseignement clandestin pour sa propre famille a été que, lors de l'arrivée de la République, sa fille a passé l'examen et a été directement admise en quatrième année, car elle avait reçu un enseignement rigoureux et régulier avec sa mère. Pendant 20 ans, des efforts intenses ont été faits par la République afghane. Tout d'abord, des établissements scolaires ont été construits dans tout le pays, ce qui constitue un grand acquis. Des milliers d'écoles ont été ouvertes afin que des millions de filles et de garçons puissent aller à l'école et à l'université, afin de recevoir un enseignement de haut niveau. Un énorme capital humain pour l'Afghanistan, construit sur plusieurs décennies. Lorsque les Talibans prennent à nouveau le pouvoir, ils trouvent un pays avec un système éducatif fonctionnel et un capital humain. « Malheureusement, cette fois encore, ils ont privé les filles de l'éducation. Cependant, les filles peuvent recevoir l'enseignement primaire jusqu'à la sixième classe, mais au-delà, elles sont exclues. C'est sans aucun doute un recul très dangereux et une injustice majeure contre les filles afghanes. » Une injustice majeure contre les filles afghanes et contre l'Afghanistan tout entière. Quel est l'avenir d'une nation qui détruit ses propres femmes, ses propres mères ? L'écrivain, poète, chercheur et ancien ambassadeur d'Afghanistan en Iran, Abdul Ghafoor Liwal nous rappelle combien les arguments des talibans n'ont aucune validité religieuse ou culturelle. « Le premier argument prétend que l'éducation des filles est interdite par la religion. Cet argument est invalide, car des milliers de savants religieux l'ont rejeté et de grandes institutions religieuses n'ont pas accepté ce récit. L'Islam n'interdit pas l'éducation des filles. Le second argument est culturel : ils disent que la culture afghane ne permet pas l'éducation des filles. C'est faux. Dans la culture afghane, l'éducation des filles a toujours existée, avec des conditions de sécurité et de protection. » Les femmes afghanes sont tributaires des lois féminicides talibanes. Mais comment notre témoin artiste et chanteuse Homira Sabawoon réussit elle à faire face à tant de violence et de négation de sa propre personne ? Pendant combien d'années ses études ont-elles été interrompu et comment a-t-elle trouvé la force de les reprendre en 2015, après la première période talibane, pendant la République ? « Au début, la musique me paraissait un simple passe-temps, mais ces 26 années de pause ont changé mon point de vue. J'en suis venue à penser que la musique est une nécessité pour une société, elle est la nourriture de l'âme, un besoin social et le meilleur moyen de transmettre un message. » Le retour des talibans au pouvoir est très décourageant pour les femmes afghanes. Cependant, Homira n'a pas baissé la tête, en s'appuyant sur ses expériences de résistances passées, à l'époque des moudjahidines, des premiers talibans et maintenant de leur retour. « Les talibans ont fermé les portes des écoles aux femmes en Afghanistan, ils leur ont interdit de travailler… et bien si l'oxygène était sous le contrôle des talibans, les femmes n'auraient même plus le droit de respirer. Mais comme le dit le poète Ghani Khan « Même si je vais au paradis, la vérité est que mon chemin est différent de celui du mollah. » En Afghanistan, l'exclusion des femmes de l'espace publique prive d'éducation plus de deux millions de filles. Le régime taliban met ainsi en péril le destin de toute une nation mais les femmes afghanes résistent et s'organisent à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur, avec notamment l'école secrète. Comme nous l'a delà dit la jeune Sana, il s'agit d'envisager l'avenir et de garder espoir. « Mes chères sœurs, ne soyez jamais découragées. Dieu a apporté cette situation et Dieu l'améliorera. Nous ne devons pas perdre notre espoir, car perdre notre espoir, c'est perdre l'espoir de la société, puisque la société se construit grâce aux femmes ».

VOV1 -Trước những diễn biến xấu trong quan hệ giữa hai nước Pakistan và Afghanistan trong vòng 24 giờ qua, với các cuộc tấn công qua biên giới và không kích vào lãnh thổ của nhau, cộng đồng quốc tế hôm nay (27/2) đã có những phản ứng, kêu gọi hai bên kiềm chế, giải quyết xung đột thông qua đối thoạiGiao tranh bắt đầu từ tối 26/2 sau khi binh lính của lực lượng Taliban đang nắm quyền tại Afghanistan tấn công dọc theo Đường Durand, đường biên giới chung với Pakistan. Taliban gọi đây là động thái trả đũa các cuộc không kích những ngày qua của quân đội Pakistan. Đến rạng sáng 27/2, Không quân Pakistan phát động Chiến dịch Ghazab lil-Haq không kích đáp trả vào một số khu vực tại các tỉnh Kabul, Kandahar và Paktia của Afghanistan và tuyên bố tiêu diệt 133 binh sỹ của lực lượng Taliban, làm hơn 200 người khác bị thương. Các nguồn tin an ninh cho biết Pakistan đã phá hủy một số cứ điểm quân sự quan trọng của Taliban tại Afghanistan.

In this members episode, Tony sits down with Pastor Dave Bryan for a jaw-dropping conversation that moves from the Giants of Kandahar to the hidden search for Noah's Ark, and finally to the modern-day red heifer prophecy. Dave Bryan shares firsthand testimony from a Navy intelligence source who claimed U.S. special forces engaged multiple armored giants in Afghanistan, along with the chilling aftermath and alleged CIA suppression. The conversation then shifts to a private viewing of video footage said to show the interior of Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat, complete with ancient beams and preserved feeding troughs. Finally, Dave recounts his meeting with Robert Mawire and the astonishing story of how seven perfect red heifers were providentially supplied for the rebuilding of the Third Temple in Jerusalem. From underground giants to Temple prophecy, this episode explores the possibility that biblical events are not ancient history, but unfolding in real time.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

Afghanistan ist im fünften Jahr der Herrschaft der Taliban deutlich auf dem Weg zu einem totalitären Gottesstaat. Vor allem in den Städten herrscht Angst – vor den Patrouillen der Sittenpolizei und dem allgegenwärtigen Geheimdienst. Doch die Taliban sind keine homogene Gruppe, es gibt deutliche Brüche zwischen den Pragmatikern in der Hauptstadt Kabul und den Radikalen im südafghanischen Kandahar.

On this week's episode, I'm very pleased to be joined by Ric Roman Waugh, the director of the new film Shelter, starring Jason Statham. We talked a lot about making that movie and how he best utilized Statham's skills as opposed to Dwayne Johnson's in the movie Snitch or Gerard Butler's in the Greenland films, Kandahar, and Angel Has Fallen. Shelter, which is in theaters now, is a little more meditative than some of Statham's recent work, though no less effective for it. We discussed why Statham was attracted to the part and how his fatherhood helped inform his role as the protector of an orphaned young girl.Then we discussed making the transition from stuntman to director: Waugh worked with Tony Scott on a number of pictures, and had some interesting insights into the methods of the great action director. And I'd be lying if I said I didn't have to practically restrain myself from just doing 30 minutes on Waugh's Shot Caller, a gritty prison drama.oo

In Episode 623: Sacrificing To Kandahar Giants, we are joined by Ray who discusses his grandmother's involvement in witchcraft in Kandahar, Afghanistan, and her interactions with the giants and Jinn. He recounts his father's experiences and stories about his grandmother, who practiced witchcraft and was known to make offerings to giants in caves with livestock. Additionally, Ray shares accounts of Jinn encounters within his family, illustrating a deep-rooted generational connection with these supernatural entities. Tony and Ray explore the intersection of his family history, cultural legends, and personal experiences with the unexplained.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

In the remote deserts of Kandahar, Afghanistan, whispers tell of a giant—towering well over eight feet tall, with skin so pale it almost glows in the moonlight. Locals speak of an otherworldly strength, of bodies buried in the sand that defy explanation, and of soldiers who vanished without a trace. Known as the Kandahar Giant, this figure exists on the edge of myth and reality, a shadow lurking in one of the most war-torn regions of the world. Some say it's a remnant of an ancient race, others insist it's something far darker, watching silently from the sands. Whether legend or nightmare, the stories refuse to die.-----------------Head to the Strange Places home website, asylum817.com to keep up with all things Strange Places, as well as the host.

From Norse frost giants to the Bible's Goliath, tales of giants have haunted humanity for centuries — but in 2002, US soldiers in Afghanistan claim they encountered a 12-foot, six-fingered, blade-wielding giant that killed one of their own before they brought it down.IN THIS EPISODE: Did U.S. Special Forces really shoot dead a 12-foot-tall giant in Kandahar, Afghanistan? How much truth is behind the story – and how does fit into the age-old narrative of soldiers, knights, and heroes battling against and vanquishing giants and monstrous creatures? (The Giant of Kandahar) *** Soon after the Cranmer family moved in to their new home on Brownsville Road, it became clear that they were not alone. (The Demon of Brownsville Road) *** The Elephant's Foot was created after the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 when reactor 4 exploded, releasing a lava-like mass of radioactive material called corium. So radioactive that it's still dangerous if you try and see it for yourself today. (The Elephant's Foot of Chernobyl) *** When something horrifying happens, it's natural to tell others about your experience. But what if, no matter how much you explain it, people simply don't believe you? We'll look at numerous stories from people who have true tales that they have a hard time getting even friends and family to take seriously. (Nobody Believes Me) *** When a great famine struck Europe in 1314, mothers abandoned their children and in some cases, even ate them. Scholars believe that these tragedies gave birth to the story of Hansel and Gretel. (The Grim True Story Behind Hansel and Gretel) *** Cultures all around the world have stories of tiny humans – elves, leprechauns, fairies, hobbits… but how can so many different communities have such similar descriptions of tiny people? Could there be evidence to prove the existence of tiny humanoids? (Little Human Subspecies) *** Traveling to the Superstition Mountains in search of the rumored treasure hidden there is not only a bad idea… it could be a fatal one. (Mysterious Visitors From Other Realms) *** Seeing an unidentified flying object in the sky is pretty common – even in cases where several people see the flying whatever-it-is at the same time. But when is the last time you and everyone around you looked up and saw an entire city flying in the sky? That's what happened in 2011 in the Nigerian village of Bauchi. (UFO City) *** But first… according to GPS, off the California coast there are dozens, possibly hundreds of ships moving around in circles. But the ships, while clearly visible on the GPS system, are nowhere to be seen by the human eye. Are these ghost ships from the past? The oceanic version of crop circles? Sailing ships from a different dimension? Or could it be something more disturbing, like a new type of cyber attack? We begin with that story.

The [DS] wants a civil war in the end and they are pushing it. Trump knows the playbook and this is why he took the path of waking the people up and building the counterinsurgency.

Such an elevated reading has been seen only a few times over the last 35 years. Over the last 2 years, global central banks have cuts rates 316 times, the highest reading in at least 25 years. To put this into perspective, there were 313 cumulative cuts in 2008-2010 in response to the financial crisis. Global monetary policy is easing. Amazing How Central Bank Money-Printing Reversed around the World after the Inflation Shock  Balance sheets of the Fed, ECB, BOJ, BOE, and central banks of China, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, and India as % of GDP.  The major central banks around the world have been unwinding their balance sheets for the past few years, even the Bank of Japan, which got a late start in 2024. Their balance sheets had swollen to grotesque proportions during the global QE frenzy that started in 2008, and QE-mania during and after the pandemic. But that has been getting unwound. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS), an umbrella organization owned by its member central banks, released its latest quarterly data on central bank balance sheets today. We'll look at the decline of the balance sheets of nine major central banks: Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, Bank of Japan, People's Bank of China, Bank of England, Central Bank of India, Bank of Canada, Reserve Bank of Australia, and the Swiss National Bank. In normal times, central-bank balance sheets, including the Fed's balance sheet, grew with the economy, as measured by GDP; and the ratio of total assets as a percentage of GDP back then was low and roughly stable over the years. Years of QE then caused the ratios to explode. And years of QT have now caused the ratios to shrink dramatically.   They're all seeing the same thing: A continued threat of inflation and massive distortions and risks in asset prices, including dangerous housing bubbles that are now deflating in some markets. So they've been removing some of the fuel, to walk back from those risks.

Based on the video clip in the X post you linked, here’s the relevant excerpt from his remarks:“The next couple of years, I think we’ll substantially be cutting and maybe cutting out completely, but we’ll be cutting income tax—could be almost completely cutting it—because the money we’re taking in is going to be so large.”This aligns closely with the claim in the WatcherGuru post. Multiple news outlets have reported on the comments, confirming they are authentic and recent. For context, Trump has floated similar ideas about offsetting or replacing income taxes with tariff revenue multiple times during his campaign and presidency, though experts have questioned the feasibility due to the massive revenue gap (tariffs currently generate far less than income taxes). DOGE Geopolitical Globalist Germany's Firewall Against the AfD Collapses as Half the Country Now Open to Voting for Them For the first time since the party entered parliament about nine years ago, the anti-democratic cordon sanitaire around the right-wing, anti-globalist Alternative für Deutschland appears to have cracked wide open. According to the latest INSA/Bild poll, fewer than half of all German voters (just 49%) now say they would “never” vote AfD—down from a staggering 75% only a few years ago, This is nothing short of a historic breakthrough. Despite years of state-funded smear campaigns, constant domestic intelligence surveillance (Verfassungsschutz), court cases, job dismissals, bank account closures, repeated violence against party members by left-globalist extremists, and even serious discussions about banning the party outright, ordinary Germans are finally seeing through the propaganda and recognizing the AfD as the only serious opposition to a failing system.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread: https://twitter.com/TPASarah/status/1994015487135514931 Sarah Adams@TPASarah Lakanwal, from Khost Province, Afghanistan, was a member of two CIA-supported units that operated under the National Directorate of Security (NDS) of the former Afghan Republic. Although these units belonged to the NDS on paper, their support and direction came directly from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). He served in Unit 01, a special military-intelligence unit responsible for the central zone provinces (Kabul, Parwan, Wardak, and Logar). His agency training in 2007 took place at CIA's Eagle Base near the Deh Sabz district of Kabul province, a few miles from Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA). Eagle Camp, originally built on an old brick factory site, became one of the CIA's most important counterterrorism training centers in the early 2000s. It trained the CIA-backed NDS units including NDS-01, NDS-02, NDS-03, NDS-04, NDS-KPF, and NDS-KSF, and also housed an ammunition depot and multiple facilities for sensitive operations. When U.S. forces left Afghanistan in 2021, Eagle Camp was among the final sites to be evacuated and demolished. It was later handed over to the Haqqani Network's suicide bomber brigade, the Badri 313. Badri 313 moved the suicide bombers through the gate areas of HKIA for the Abbey Gate attack that killed 13 of our servicemembers and approximately 170 Afghans on August 26, 2021. After completing training at Eagle Base, Lakanwal was transferred to the team supporting CIA's Kandahar Base. The site had a long militant history: it housed Mullah Mohammad Omar from 1994–2001, Osama bin Laden from 1998–2001, and later Camp Gecko from 2002–2021, which was used by the CIA and NDS-03. It served as the headquarters of the Kandahar Strike Force, which led CIA-backed counterterrorism operations in Kandahar, Uruzgan, and Zabul provinces against the Taliban, al-Qaeda, and ISIS. Lakanwal took part in counterterrorism missions alongside U.S. forces in Kandahar. After the attack yesterday on our National Guardsmen in Washington, DC, ISIS channels were the first to praise the incident largely because Lakanwal's half-brother (the son of his father's second wife, pictured left) had been a recruiter for the Islamic State–Khorasan Province (ISKP). His brother, Muawiyah Khurasani aka Hayatullah (pictured below), previously worked with Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Orakzai Agency, Pakistan, before formally joining ISKP. He was killed in a targeted operation in July 2022 in Achin district, Nangarhar province. Some ISIS members claimed he was killed by Pakistan's Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD), though that remains unconfirmed. After the fall of Kabul in 2021, Lakanwal's unit the Kandahar Protection Force and the Khost Protection Force (KPF) became prime targets for both the Haqqani Network and ISKP, which sought either to blackmail or recruit former KPF members. Recruitment involved persuading them to join voluntarily; blackmail involved coercing them through threats to their families (many were left behind), exposure of past work with the U.S., or financial pressure. Both groups targeted these units specifically because of their close relationships on U.S. soil, particularly with former CIA officers. In addition, both groups, along with al-Qaeda, saw value in impersonating these units. A couple thousand fake documents and ID cards were produced so terrorists could claim affiliation with KPF/01/02 and other special units. This allowed some individuals to fraudulently move through the U.S. evacuation process by exploiting unsuspecting volunteers and taking advantage of weak vetting procedures. We have confirmed that Lakanwal's ID (pictured right) and employment were legitimate, but a full review is recommended, as terrorists have explicitly claimed using this route as a pipeline into the U.S. We cannot keep waiting for Americans to be killed again and again before we act against the Islamist terrorists who have arrived on our soil since 2021. This can no longer fall on the shoulders of a small handful of people sounding the alarm. Every American needs to be engaged: protecting their families, their communities, and our homeland.

In addition, Fox News is reporting that Lakanwal worked with various other government entities from the United States in Afghanistan, including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), specifically as part of the CIA-backed Kandahar Strike Force (KSF), known in most intelligence circles as NDS-03, which operated outside of U.S. and Afghan military chain-of-commands directly under the CIA, carrying out covert, clandestine, counterterrorism operations, including night raids and assassinations against the Taliban and al-Qaeda. https://twitter.com/DataRepublican/status/1993878815349854361?s=20 CIA Director John Ratcliffe confirmed that to Fox. “In the wake of the disastrous Biden withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Biden administration justified bringing the alleged shooter to the United States in September 2021 due to his prior work with the U.S. government, including CIA, as a member of a partner force in Kandahar, which ended shortly following the chaotic evacuation,” CIA Director John Ratcliffe told Fox News Digital. “The individual—and so many others—should have never been allowed to come here,” Ratcliffe continued. “Our citizens and service members deserve far better than to endure the ongoing fallout from the Biden administration's catastrophic failures.” Ratcliffe added: “God bless our brave troops.” https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1994201842750837067?s=20 https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/1993882348069552531?s=20 https://twitter.com/CannConActual/status/1993693224196604379?s=20  at a colour revolution. @ColonelTowner and@xAlphaWarriorx have done a good job documenting several. We have been overwhelmingly resistant to these efforts on our homeland through the use of NGOs funding widespread protests and subsequent riots. And as President Trump cut the head off their private sector funding apparatuses (USAID, NED, etc), they are becoming desperate. So they politicized the military, subverted the Constitutional authority of the Commander in Chief, and injected themselves in a chain of command they are NOT a part of. The desperate attempt to execute their plan. This is life or death for the Deep State. https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/1993886979738460646?s=20 There are three phases to a Color Revolution. It’s important to understand this so you can see how the actions of the Sedition 6 fit into this pattern. PHASE ONE: -Form underground opposition networks. -Create strong slogans and powerful information operations as recruitment tools. -Upon a certain well-coordinated signal, well-funded, well-organized mass protests “spontaneously” appear. -The armed wing of the movement conducts carefully coordinated, precision attacks on certain government infrastructure. PHASE TWO:  -Discredit military, security, and law enforcement forces through information operations, coordination with friendly media (Jimmy Kimmel? Talkin’ to you, Komrade Kelly), strikes, civil disobedience, rioting, and sabotage. yOU ARE HER -Occupy civic facilities and refuse to leave until your demands are met. -Strengthen and grow a highly organized logistics support network. -Issue ultimatums to the government, threatening violent uprisings if demands are unmet. The goal is to either have the government acquiesce or engage in violent repression, in each case thereby delegitimizing itself. PHASE THREE:  -Overthrow the government in a “non-violent” manner that is actually quite violent. -Open attacks on authorities, seizure of government buildings, destruction of government symbols. -Coordinate media messaging. If the government attacks, media will accuse the government of attacking “peaceful protestors.” If the government makes concessions, it will appear impotent because protestors will not compromise. -Widespread delegitimization of the government is effective in the minds of the populace; the government either willingly cedes power or is violently removed. -The once underground opposition forces’ leadership now seizes control of the government.   prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels. They and their children are supported through massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form. They put up with what has happened to our Country, but it's eating them alive to do so! A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation, which is essentially not even a country for lack of Government, Military, Police, schools, etc…    denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization. These goals will be pursued with the aim of achieving a major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations, including those admitted through an unauthorized and illegal Autopen approval process. Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation. Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won't be here for long!

A man shoots two National Guard members at point blank range in Washington DC, igniting American outrage and infuriating President Trump. The Afghan suspect worked with the CIA in Kandahar and escaped Afghanistan on a Joe Biden plane that his administration promised to the American people was completely vetted before the "refugees" aboard stepped foot on our soil. We revisit those guarantees - lies - as Trump calls for all Afghan visas to be reviewed and stops all travel from the country into the US.

The Cold War ended, but crises kept coming. This episode opens in the Balkans, where Yugoslavia's breakup pulls Marines into a different mission. Offshore in the Adriatic, they fly strikes, launch rescues, and put infantry ashore as refugee camps, no-fly zones, and patrols blur the line between war and relief. From there, the story follows deployments to Haiti, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Albania, and East Timor, where Marines secure embassies, evacuate civilians, and support coalitions trying to hold together collapsing states. Then 9/11 hits, and the long war begins. Task Force 58 pushes hundreds of miles inland to seize Rhino and Kandahar, proving sea-based Marines can operate inside a landlocked country. The chapter ends in Helmand, in places like Garmsir, Now Zad, and the Ganjgal Valley, where patrol bases, IEDs, and hard lessons define a war with no clean finish.

Taylor Kolls Marine Combat Vet and son of Jay shares his experience in Afghan war and why it should Veterans Week not Veterans Day.Operation Moshtarak (Dari for Together or Joint), also known as the Battle of Marjah, was an International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) pacification offensive in the town of Marjah, Helmand Province, Afghanistan. It involved a combined total of 15,000 Afghan, American, British, Canadian, Danish, and Estonian troops, constituting the largest joint operation of the War in Afghanistan up to that point. The purpose of the operation was to remove the Taliban from Marja, thus eliminating the last Taliban stronghold in central Helmand Province.[10] The main target of the offensive was the town of Marjah, which had been controlled for years by the Taliban as well as drug traffickers.Although Moshtarak was described as the largest operation in Afghanistan since the fall of the Taliban, it was originally supposed to be the prelude to a much larger offensive in Kandahar that would follow Moshtarak by several months.[11] ISAF chose to heavily publicize the operation before it was launched, comparing its scope and size to the 2004 Second Battle of Fallujah, in the hopes that Taliban fighters in the town would flee.[12]The operation was also designed to showcase improvements in both the Afghan government and Afghan security forces. ISAF claimed that the operation was "Afghan-led" and would use five Afghan brigades.[13] General Stanley A. McChrystal, the commander of ISAF, also promised that following the offensive ISAF would install a "government in a box" in Marja.[14]While initially successful, ISAF and the Afghan government failed to set up a working government in the town, leading to a successful resurgence by the Taliban; 90 days into the offensive General McChrystal famously referred to it as a "bleeding ulcer".[15][16] In October the town was still described as "troubling",[17] but by early December the fighting there was declared "essentially over".[18]Shortly after the withdrawal of NATO soldiers from Marja, it was reported the Taliban had regained control of the town and district with US army analysts describing the goals of the operation as a failure.[1] It has later been cited as a critical turning point in the war, as its failure lead the Obama administration to shift in strategy, away from increasing the number of American combatants for a decisive victory and toward deescalation of the war.[19]https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld/report/021510_marjah/afghan-battle-marjah-might-not-live-up-hype/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tim Alberino sits down with Blurry Creatures for a raw, unfiltered conversation about the things mainstream Christianity won't touch. Why are military whistleblowers more nervous about giants than UFOs? What did the Watchers really want with human women? And how does a 1,100-pound red-haired giant allegedly end up in a military cargo plane? This episode connects dots between ancient texts, modern military encounters, and the coming disclosure narrative. Tim shares exclusive details about multiple military encounters with living giants in Afghan caves, the Kandahar Giant retrieval operation, and why occult groups at the top of the secrecy pyramid may be using giant remains for necromantic practices. We discuss the Watchers' rebellion, the true nature of the Nephilim, megalithic construction techniques, and how these ancient accounts relate to current UFO disclosure. This episode tackles the complex relationship between biblical theology and the UFO phenomenon, arguing that Christians need to move beyond medieval interpretations to understand extraterrestrial beings within a biblical framework. The discussion includes Bigfoot's potential telepathic abilities, the Phoenicians' role in global giant dispersion, and necromantic practices in places like Sardinia. We conclude with practical thoughts on government disclosure, distinguishing between real phenomena and deception, and why the existence of non-human intelligence doesn't negate biblical truth but rather fits within its larger narrative.This episode is a members-only exclusive.

Marzulli to dive into some of the most mysterious and controversial topics in the world of the unexplained. From the legendary Kandahar Giant and its connection to hidden Nephilim, to the possibility of ancient portals opening around the world, and how these events may tie into a coming apocalypse, this conversation pushes deep into the questions few are willing to ask. Marzulli brings decades of research into biblical prophecy, UFO phenomena, and suppressed history to shed light on what may really be happening behind the veil. Could ancient giants still be hidden in remote corners of the earth? Are portals and gateways described in scripture and myth beginning to reemerge? And most importantly—what does all of this mean for the future of humanity? Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or just curious, this episode will challenge you to think differently about history, prophecy, and the supernatural.
