A 9-month-old Afghan girl died Wednesday after a flight carrying refugees from Afghanistan landed in Philadelphia, authorities said.

The baby, whom authorities did not identify, was traveling from Ramstein Air Base in Germany to Philadelphia International Airport on a C-17 when the crew was notified that the infant was unresponsive, Department of Defense spokesperson Lt. Col. Chris Mitchell told NBC News in a statement.

Emergency medical technicians and an interpreter met the flight when it landed about 9:15 p.m., and the child and father were taken to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, according to the official. The child was pronounced dead shortly after 10 p.m.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the parents and family,” Mitchell said.

No other details, including a cause of death, were immediately released.

You may have a different religion than the people from Afghanistan but they are human beings. They are not cattle that are “shipped” All human life is worthy of dignity, not just those that you agree with.

You don’t know that the mother wasn’t around. It only stated that the father went with the child to the hospital. It could be with the chaos or other children a mother has to stay behind, or just that restrictions on spreading COVID (or other non-citizen issues) necessitates minimal people leaving the plane.

Frankly I’m not concerned. I’m not happy with any Afghans coming here when there’s plenty of Muslim nations that can take them in.

I am thinking that the father killed her, so he wouldn’t be “tied down” once he got his new life in the USA.

We have neighbors,the wife works online for Catholic Charities, they are bleeding hearts but try to hide it, he is a teacher at the local high school. She’s been out of town ever since the airlifts began. If you go to the CC website it unabashedly boasts of Afghan refugee “outreach programs” countrywide in the U.S. We are so infuriated that these do-gooders with their ignorance and gullibility are endangering the lives, property, and safety of all of us.

Catholic Charities is a fully funded organization that assists completely with ‘population relocations’.....with the Popes full approval. They are not just a soup kitchen by any means. They assist with the Globalist ambitions to repopulate Western countries with third world populations.

Something happened to that baby on that plane.

Why are they concealing cause of death?

If they are not vaccinated and not wearing face coverings they they ought to be dropping like flies. That’s what my CDC is telling me what would happen to me if I did the same thing.

A friend’s daughter was born in the UAE. He thought the baby was dead from the muslim doctor’s demeanor when he came to the waiting room to tell my friend. No, it was that it was a girl. That’s the way they are with girls. I would not be surprised if in this case, the father, or male guardian, killed the baby.

This isn’t what I’m about to write about because I haven’t confirmed these details with a second source yet. But here goes what I have heard about:

1) The situation there is far, far worse than we are lead to believe. The journalists are holed up in the hotel rooms and at the airport. They won’t go out and if they do, they don’t go very far. They report on what can be seen from the well-guarded checkpoints where Taliban doesn’t operate. Into the city and onto the countryside is where things are a slaughter. People are being murdered in the streets.

2) a LOT of our guys, australian guys, GIGN, special forces and very tough, very smart people have “sorta” abandoned their post (Not literally.. posts are rarely being abandoned there) but they are going out against recommendations and getting key people that they know to the airport. Part 2:

3) Along the way they are finding more and more people in need. Children, primarily. Children hovering around the bodies of their dead parents. Orphans. These brave, smart, elite “Better than most” men are scooping these kids up.

4) They have to sneak people into the airport, or meet up with small planes and caravans far outside the city to get these people out.

5) The people who most of us are concerned about are the “Military age men” who should be capable of fighting on their own. From different sources throughout the years this is explained, and recently it is backed up by the people I talk to now.
These men are stupid. They are the stupidest human beings on the earth. I was told a few years ago about an afghan being trained to use a rifle. He looked down the barrel and shot his face off. That happens all the time. But in this story when everyone ran to help a second guy in the same class didn’t think it would happen to him, so he looked down the barrel and squeezed the trigger. Two men shot themselves in the face because the second one wanted to see what would happen.
These men are lost. We shouldn’t pity them, but they aren’t going to pick up a piece of food if they’re hungry. I don’t care about the men.

6) The orphaned kids and young girls that were picked up (Again, along the way to the extraction points) were in serious danger. These men again couldn’t walk away and leave them behind. These young girls, boys and even infants are now in the US. Many of them have no names. No identifiers. No DNA records or anything. They are truly war orphans. They are being placed with good homes as adopted kids. This is where I jumped in to assist. It turns out there is an organization based near me that is coordinating these placements.

Finally, I’m also being told that many countries are doing great jobs helping out and supporting these clandestine efforts... And our country does not. Our country, in fact, has tried to block them. It’s an utter mess. The people who are doing this now are convinced that this debacle is NOT a mistake. It’s run like it was done absolutely on purpose. These men on the ground also all say similar things “America is no longer the country you thought it was.” And they are amassing to come together and do something about it. I have no other details other than that.

Joe Biden, the evil sleeze dirtbag has absolutely destroyed the US. It’s over. There is no coming back. The only way we will ever - forget being on top of the world but instead think of surviving with degree of honor - is to tear down everything that we are currently living under. The US is now behaving as an enemy to freedom. We are in bizarro world.

Finally, it’s also been said from my sources that we are in trouble. Big, Big trouble. This is only the start. They do not see prison camps, labor camps, death camps, death trains or door-to-door assasinations as a “Far off conspiracy”.

I’m worried. I’m changing gears. I’m also looking into how I and my family can take in one of these orphaned kids. But again I am still trying to get confirmation from other sources to make sure what I am hearing and seeing is correct.

Maybe because Mohammed raped a 9 year old? Her name was Aisha.

She was six when he married her.
