Americans trapped in Kabul told to fill out an online evacuation form as Taliban take over

The State Department on Sunday told Americans in Kabul that their best chance of survival is to hide.

"The security situation in Kabul is changing quickly including at the airport.  There are reports of the airport taking fire; therefore we are instructing U.S. citizens to shelter in place," the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan said in a statement published on its website on Sunday.

The embassy then told everyone that even as the Taliban took over Kabul, it is vital to have that paperwork in order. And access to electrical power and a working Wi-Fi connection are apparently necessary, too.

"U.S. citizens wanting assistance in departing the country should register for any option that might be identified to return to the United States, and must complete this Repatriation Assistance Request for each traveler in their group," the embassy notice said.

"Spouses and minor children of U.S. citizens in Afghanistan who are awaiting immigrant visas should also complete this form if they wish to depart. Please do so as soon as possible. You must complete this form even if you’ve previously submitted your information to the U.S. Embassy in Kabul," it said.

...

As late as Thursday, State Department spokesman Ned Price had said there was no such thing as an evacuation either in the works or taking place.

"This is not abandonment. This is not an evacuation. This is not the wholesale withdrawal. What this is (is) a reduction in the size of our civilian footprint," Price told reporters Thursday, according to ABC News. "The embassy remains open and we plan to continue our diplomatic work in Afghanistan."

This is what happens when the woke crowd at the State Department is hit in the mouth by the Taliban, they have no clue what to do or how to do it...

How long until we hear the State Department is fundraising for the Clinton Foundation in issuing boarding passes on chartered airplanes arriving in Kabul? I’m not kidding! Phrases like “Our People” have an entirely different meaning in political circles.

There is the 15 day application processing and another 15 days for your covid isolation before you can leave the country.
Have a good day

So when the “behead the infidel” mob comes they can show them the paperwork and the shelter in place pass. That will work.

“Please complete your application to be considered for immediate removal from Afghanistan. Include your resume and all social media online names. Include all financial holdings and net value totals
of all family members.

Applications without an up to date Mission Statement may be delayed for consideration.
Your safety and personal fulfilment are of our greatest concern with the Biden Administration.

THANK YOU for your service!”

Why am I not surprised. There's probably sections in it - Have you had your Covid-19 vaccination? ___Yes ___ No. Do you have a mask? ___Yes ___No.
