It didn't take long for the eunuchs at PBS to embrace the Taliban propaganda. Fresh off kicking Joe Biden's ass, the Taliban used the left wing press as its muse to spread a message of hope.
Now Taliban representatives are being welcomed from Beijing to Moscow, where Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov last month called them “reasonable people.” The group has a social-media presence and responsive media team that is saying all the right things: It wants an inclusive government, it won’t take revenge on political opponents, diplomats are safe and investors won’t have trouble: “No one should worry about their life,” it said in a statement over the weekend.Why, they even offered amnesty to their foes. Such sweet guys.
Or maybe not.
On the same day the Taliban promised to honor women's rights, they killed a woman for not wearing a burqa. Women would be allowed to participate in government "if they adhere to Islamic law."
Strict Islamic Law. You know, the law that allows the Taliban to kill women for looking at them the wrong way.
The Taliban are forbidding women from going out of their homes.
A female Afghan journalist denounced Thursday that, despite assurances to the international community that they would allow women to work, Taliban jihadists are banning women from leaving their homes in Kabul and personally banned her from doing her job.They tortured and massacred a minority ethnic groupRadio Television Afghanistan (RTA) anchor Shabnam Khan Dawran denounced the jihadist regime, in power since its takeover of Kabul on Sunday, for denying her access to the RTA headquarters on the grounds that she is a woman.
The Taliban recently "massacred" and brutally tortured several members of the Hazara minority in Afghanistan, says human rights group Amnesty International.They executed an Afghan police chief.Witnesses have given harrowing accounts of the killings, which took place in early July in Ghazni province.
Since taking over the Afghan capital Kabul on Sunday, the Taliban have tried to portray a more restrained image.
But Amnesty said the incident was a "horrifying indicator" of Taliban rule.
They are hunting down and killing those who cooperated in any way with the US
The Taliban have begun conducting door-to-door searches for people they believe worked for US-led forces and the previous Afghan administration — despite their “no-revenge” promise, according to a Norwegian intelligence group.The Taliban is blocking roads to the airport.A report by the nonprofit RHIPTO Norwegian Center for Global Analyses, seen by Reuters, said the insurgents were hunting for people linked to the previous administration, which fell Sunday when the Islamist militant movement took Kabul.
“Taliban are intensifying the hunt-down of all individuals and collaborators with the former regime, and if unsuccessful, target and arrest the families and punish them according to their own interpretation of Sharia law,” the report said, according to the news service.
“Particularly at risk are individuals in central positions in military, police and investigative units,” it added.

Nailed it in four words.
There existeth no better description for the spineless marshmallow majors in that joke of an institution.
Did the Taliban stop you from posting the whole thing?
Then there is the female pilot that was stoned to death ...
A kinder gentler Taliban. A compassionate Taliban. During almost twenty years out of power, one thing the Taliban learned is how to conduct better public relations.
Look at them. They’re such nice boys! They wouldn’t hurt anybody! They don’t rape women, and men. They don’t demand women wear a burka or get killed. They will be building churches and synagogues to show their religious tolerance. Gays have nothing to worry about in the New Afbidenistan. They’re going to be giving out autographs to all the Western women who are already swooning over them.
Nothing to fear from the alliance of the islamists, the chicoms, the antifa crowd, iran, and putin. You’re safe.
Yeah but.. they "write" blogs and excerpt for hits.
Like little pee-smelling scumpuppies.
And exercising some degree of competence in handling the rifle. The bootlaces are another matter....
He's probably never worn anything other than sandals until he got all that nice new American gear.
I'm sure he can download a YouTube video to teach him how to tie shoes on the iPhone he undoubtedly has that we undoubtedly paid for as well.
PBS and NPR. Pravda Commies who hate our nation and love our enemies.
I’m confused. Sleepy Joe says there are only 75,000 talibunnies in Afghanistan but the population is 35 million or so, which equates to 0.2% of the population or 1,000 formerly free people to 2 bad guys.
Kabul had a population of 4.5 million. Additionally consider that after the conquest march through the countryside to Kabul, the Taliban would leave a band of fighters at each village, town, and city, that the actual number in Kabul is considerably less than the 75,000 they started the march with.
I understand that no one wants to die but the math says if the entire freedom wanting population of Kabul all walked out of their homes and marched down the street, these checkpoints would be over run fairly quickly and the Taliban would be defeated, albeit with several thousand civilian casualties. This doesn’t even take into account those that still have access to weapons or the weapons they would obtain when each checkpoint is overrun.
Good post. I will not try to refine the numbers you are on point.
Just food for thought.
Also consider that we’ve been told for decades, since the Soviet invasion, that the Afghan people are made of warring clans that go back centuries. So their not afraid of fighting until now?
It makes no sense to me.
You tend to forget that the population are very good Moslems.
They won’t go against their Imams.
