[U]Update (1310ET)[/U]: The situation is Kabul (well all of Afghanistan) has gone from bad to worst case scenario as a Taliban official says they will soon declare the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan from the presidential palace in Kabul, the Associated Press reported, after reports of the insurgents entering the premises and taking control of it
As this is unfolding, 100s of US citizens are scrambling aboard C-17s as the Biden admin evacuates the country...

If this is true, let's break it down -
1. OF course it's a secret. No questions, no demonstrations, No way to mobilize a response
2. YOUR neighborhood
3. YOU ARE PAYING!! Simplest question of the bunch.
4. NOPE, Only people going to restaurants, and maybe children trying to get back to school.
5. That is part of the master plan.
Some Americans wanted this, most did not. Oh well!!

Please turn on the TV, pick any news / opinion channel and show me how it differs from anything posted above. No matter which way you lean.
For example, look above at the news conference by a President - I have seen it on multiple news station I tune in to.

*In an editorial from The Global Times, the Chinese state media outlet sent what appears to be an 'ominous' message to Taiwan, which China claims as its territory, amid concerns that Beijing may one day launch an invasion of the island. The gist of the message? That the outcome in Afghanistan shows that the U.S., Taiwan's closest and most powerful ally, won't be around to help when the island needs it most.
Taiwan's political leaders "need to a keep a sober head, and the secessionist forces should reserve the ability to wake up from their dreams," the editorial reads. "From what happened in Afghanistan, they should perceive that once a war breaks out in the [Taiwan] Straits, the island's defense will collapse [within] hours and the U.S. military won't come to help. As a result [Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party] will quickly surrender, while some high-level officials may flee by plane."
-----------------------------------
]('I mean, it is kind of ominous to have China state-affiliated media openly discussing a hypothetical hot war with Taiwan in the wake of the Taliban rout in Afghanistan, no? They don't even say "if a war breaks out"... it's "ONCE a war breaks out"...
-----------------------------------
In the lead up to the U.S.'s exit from Afghanistan, several foreign policy analysts [predicted]('https://www.wsj.com/articles/speed-of-taliban-advance-surprises-biden-administration-dismays-u-s-allies-11628708393') that Washington's adverseries, including Beijing and the Kremlin, would push such a narrative as a way to undermine the U.S.'s role on the world stage. It appears the ball is already rolling.*
