Afghan refugees begin arriving at Fort McCoy (Wisconsin)
Madison.com (Wisconsin) ^ | 22 Aug 2021 | Tribune Staff

The first Afghan refugees have arrived at Fort McCoy, one three military installations in the United States approved by the Department of Defense for temporary housing.

Sunday afternoon, special immigrant visa applicants, their families and other individuals at risk arrived, according to a press release from the base.

This is in addition to a small number of Afghans currently finalizing their processing at Fort Lee, Va.

Fort McCoy officials expect these arrivals to continue throughout Sunday and the coming days. U.S. Northern Command is working to build additional capacity at the Wisconsin base, as well as at Fort Lee, Fort Bliss in Texas and potentially other military locations as required.

Approximately 1,000 service members from multiple units of the U.S. Army and U.S. Army Reserve have begun to assemble at Fort McCoy to provide support to Operation Allies Refuge.

Fort McCoy (WI), Fort Lee (VA), Fort Bliss (TX) for sure; and more sites (like Fort Chaffee, AK) being assessed.

Guess it depends on how many come.

Looks like the flow is getting underway in earnest.

1,000 troops supporting. Looks like every “refugee” will have their own personal butler on base.

They’ll be able to find gainful employment in the cranberry bogs and running tourist traps in the Dells. And the crazy ones can be shipped over to Adams Friendship which is full of crazy already.

There's a lot of small towns and villages surrounding Fort McCoy. It's a snapshot of Americana. Some of the gas stations still have those Standard signs.

This is beyond treason; we know that already. It's simply the systematic, methodical destruction of the U.S. and all the ideals that her citizens hold dear. The elites in D.C. hates elections and voters voting them out. They want total control and domination over your lives. The sooner people understand this, the better off we'll be.

Not one of those 800 Afghans we flew to safety brought an American with them to the airport to help them escape.

Most of them not only did NOT bring an American - they were unvetted.

And they left their wives and children and flew to safety and the US gravy train without them.

Who are they? Taliban? Spies? Paki agents?

Activist Imam Fundraising For Afghan Refugees Spoke With
VA DEMOCRAT GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE TERRY McAULIFFE
Discussed ‘Good Purpose’ Of 9/11, Hosted Holocaust Denier
National File ^ | Aug 20 | PATRICK HOWLEY
FR Posted on 8/20/2021, 11:28:01 AM by RandFan

As refugees from Afghanistan pour into the Fort Lee U.S. military base in Virginia, an imam named Ammar Amonette is leading the fundraising drive for the Afghan refugees. Ammar Amonette, Imam of the Islamic Center of Virginia, is a left-wing activist who has spoken alongside Democrat then-Governor Terry McAuliffe, worked with the state’s Democrat attorney general to push hate crime legislation, held a press conference with Democrat Senator Mark Warner, and protested President Donald Trump’s travel ban on terrorism-rich countries.

In a 2004 interview unearthed by NATIONAL FILE, Amonette discussed the 9/11 attackers, saying, “Terrorism is about symbolic targets. It’s sending a political message. The World Trade Center sounds in Arabic like ‘center for globalization.’ I think they took it literally, and globalism may be a threat. But in Islamic law, even if you have a good purpose or goal, you have to follow the rules.” Amonette previously served as imam of the Colorado Muslim Society which, during his tenure, hosted an event with then-Mufti of Jerusalem and Palestine Ekrima Sabry, who has said that it is a “fairytale” that six million Jews died in the Holocaust.

Ammar Amonette’s Islamic Center of Virginia is raising money and supplies for the Afghan refugees at Fort Lee. DiscoveringIslam.org describes Michigan-born Amonette as “an American Islamic scholar who is a convert to Islam. He spent 12 years studying in Saudi Arabia. He initially studied at Umm Al-Qura University in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. He later earned a Masters at the Graduate Institute for Preparation of Imams in Mecca.” Amonette’s efforts to help the migrants was profiled this week by CBS 6 Richmond in which he stated that “It’s going to be a long process and it’s only beginning” and said “a new plane is arriving every day” to take refugees to Fort Lee
