Glenn Beck group-funded planes to be used for evacuations being grounded by Taliban

Six planes funded by a Glenn Beck-founded charity were identified as some of evacuation aircrafts being grounded by the Taliban in Afghanistan, a report said.

The flights chartered by Mercury One cost the organization $750,000 each and are currently sitting empty at an airport in the city of Mazar-i-Sharif, an official with a non-governmental organization working on the evacuation told Newsweek.

More than 1,600 people, including over 100 Americans are expected to evacuate the country on the planes, which were chartered from Afghanistan’s largest private airline, Kam Air, the report said.

The NGO official told Newsweek that nobody is aboard the idle planes.

“The planes are currently empty and its passengers are still waiting in their safe houses for clearance for takeoff from the Taliban,” the official told the publication.

“I have 1,600 plus people on the master manifest that want to fly, of which 123 are Americans and the rest are Special Immigration Visas.”

Another NGO official told the outlet that the planes have not taken off because the Taliban has failed to grant “final clearance” amid negotiations with the State Department that have been “stuck at this point.”

Earlier Sunday, Texas Rep. Michael McCaul said six airplanes carrying Americans and Afghan refugees were being held “hostage” by the Taliban at the airport in Mazar-i-Sharif.

I believe he is evacuating Christians to save their lives.

Does “Full Recognition” mean the old regime’s bank accounts are unfrozen and given to the Taliban?

So it’s now a hostage crisis.

You are right. Imagine our state department feeding Christians to the lions, for sport. This is what happens when you obey totalitarians. COVID obedience will have these effects, for many generations.
Glenn has done this before in other places.

Where is he going to house, feed, cloth, educate and employ them?

Thank you.

I recall hearing a phone call on Glenn’s show from a SIV translator, the week before the Kabul bombing. He couldn’t exit the country.

Broke my heart in two, it did.

Thanks, Joe.

Here’s a millionaire trying to do something good with his money, unlike that idiot Bill Gates, who just wants to reduce the population.

Glen is a rollercoaster but his intentions are good rather than evil.

Glenn says he’s paying for all the travel expenses. So after that he just dumps them on Texas and wipes his hands with it and says my work is done.

Does Captain Cheetos live in Texas, or would he just dump them on us out of spite since we didn’t elect Ted “The Zodiac Killer” Cruz?

So 93.75% (100/1600 are American) of the people are Afghans. Who are these people? I don’t trust any of the people involved in any of these attempted flights Biden Junta, Beck, McCaul, Franklin Graham, the supposed rogue retired military. It seems all of them mislead by talking about saving “Americans,” and they are actually Afghans.

“aircrafts”

Don’t reporters know how to write English anymore? What’s next, deers?

Where are the editors?
—————
As for all of the criticism of Beck, I am not his biggest fan by a long shot, but he is saving lives and helping people escape from an utterly brutal and barbaric regime. How about giving him some credit for that?

“It seems all of them mislead by talking about saving “Americans,” and they are actually Afghans.”

Beck is trying to save many Afghan Christians who will otherwise be persecuted and/or killed by the Talibiden (I love that name).

It appears Glenn “McStabby” Beck has forced the removal of the facade that the Taliban would “cooperate” with TaliBiden’s state dept. to let those Americans and SIV holders who were abandoned on Aug. 31st exit the country “if they want to leave.”

TaliBiden already armed the Taliban, China and Iran with over $100 Billion in military equipment and infrastructure. But the pain that will be inflicted on this nation and the world as a result of this anti-American administration’s deliberate posturing of the USA as a subjugated nation is just beginning.

China is calling the shots. Russia is in. Iran is in. This administration has been dreaming of this demise for a long time. They’re in too.

They’re moving in.

By the way, FUGB, you’re as big a traitor as anyone.

He was trying to get them into surrounding countries that are similar in culture.
