Exclusive: Pineapple Express to Launch Phase II for Americans Left in Afghanistan

Kristina Wong 2 Sep 2021

The Pineapple Express, a network of special operations veterans and contacts on the ground who came together to evacuate American citizens and Afghan allies, is moving to the next phase of their operations — getting the hundreds of Americans left behind in Afghanistan to safety.

“We’re having to move from what was a very network-centric starfish kind of thing to way more of a deliberate recovery. That focuses on two things, moving people to safety, getting them immediately out of harm’s way from retribution and targeting and then ultimately some of them to freedom,” said Scott Mann, a retired Green Beret who co-founded the Pineapple Express.

“Categorically, we’re looking at American citizens that are still a couple of hundred, at least, that are still in country,” he said in an interview with Breitbart News on Tuesday.

He said they are also looking to aid Afghan partner forces, at-risk Afghans, innovators in democracy and the arts, women, prosecutors, judges, and young girls who have participated in non-profit art endeavors.

Joe Biden just told hurricane survivors they “won’t be left behind,” which would be comforting words had he not just said the exact same thing last week, and then turned his back—leaving hundreds of Americans behind in Afghanistan. Then and now. Biden’s words are empty.

Sadly this isn’t true - it’s a war for control of the world. If you read al Qaeda’s words,it doesn’t incld freedom/America. The US is creating a terrorist super-state right before our eyes & we’re still arguing about whose war it is. & they’re coming for the US, now isolated/weak

Why is every parent of a Marine lost in the horrific attack in Kabul at the airport that speaks with Joe Biden saying that this clown is talking more about his own son than their son..

This is ridiculous... What is wrong with this guy...

With our stuff and tech going to Iran and likely China, plus arming the Taliban, that Putz of the United Snakes is likely getting more than the 10% Hunter has been hauling in.

Do the math. There were some 15,000 Americans there. They evacuated 5,000.

Even 'common core' says there are 10,000 not accounted for.

Majority of Voters Think Congress Should Investigate Biden’s Botched Afghanistan Withdrawal

A majority of voters want Congress to investigate President Joe Biden’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal, according to a Rasmussen poll released on Thursday.

The survey found that 62 percent of likely U.S. voters believe Congress should investigate how the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan was handled. Twenty-eight percent are against a congressional investigation and 10 percent are not sure.

Broken down by political affiliation, 80 percent of Republicans, 47 percent of Democrats, and 59 percent of unaffiliated voters think Congress should investigate the withdrawal, in which 13 U.S. troops were killed and hundreds of Americans were left behind.

President Joe Biden’s strongest supporters are most likely to oppose an investigation, according to the poll, which surveyed 1,000 likely U.S. voters between August 30-31, 2021. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Among those polled who highly rate Biden’s job performance, 66 percent say Congress should not investigate the withdrawal. In comparison, out of those who strongly disapprove of Biden 89 percent say an investigation should take place.

Report: Afghans Arriving at U.S. Military Bases to Get $1,250 Payments

Afghans arriving in the United States and being temporarily resettled at U.S. military bases will receive one-time payments from the State Department, funded by American taxpayers.

As Breitbart News reported, President Joe Biden’s administration is looking to turn various military bases in Texas, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Virginia, New Mexico, and Indiana into refugee camps that can accommodate about 50,000 Afghans.

Most of all Afghans headed to military bases for temporary resettlement are arriving on “humanitarian parole,” which does not expire for at least two years. These Afghans are not eligible for Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs), P-2 visas, or refugee status.

According to the Washington Post, Afghans arriving at military bases will secure a $1,250 one-time payment provided to them through the State Department and funded by American taxpayers.

And I am sure taxes were withheld and SSN"s tracked... The government would not violate it's own rules.. would they?

And I am sure taxes were withheld and SSN"s tracked... The government would not violate it's own rules.. would they?

No none of that, but of course the IRS will issue them Tax ID's so that they can file fraudulent income tax claims listing 10 or 15 dependents and receive large refund checks so they can rip off the American taxpayer just like the illegals from south of our border. I'm sure that the second they landes there were democrats on hand to start schooling them in ways to screw the taxpayer.

Afghanistan is becoming a modern day holocaust of WWII proportions.
Taking a shower this morning, couldn't help but think about how many starving women and babies need this water so much, just to survive.
Murder, rape, torture, happening not in 'secret', but in the streets in broad daylight. Just like happened in the 1930s.
And just like they did in the 1930s, the American and World press will NEVER report on it.
