Taliban crack down on Christians in Afghanistan, American kidnapped

Joe Biden's abrupt withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan two years ago left behind tens of billions of dollars of American war machinery to the Taliban, whose terrorist members immediately put themselves in power.

Along with hundreds of Americans under the thumb of the Taliban terrorists, as well as thousands of Afghanis whose help had been important to American interests.

NPR described it as a "turning point" in Biden's presidency, a moment that saw his support levels plunge – and never recover.

The broadcaster said the situation was a "chaotic mess" and quoted officials calling it "bungled."

Now the full extent of the disaster is becoming known, with a Slay News report that Taliban extremists there again have been cracking down of Christianity, as they did before American intervention.

Most recently, the report said, an Islamic terrorist group "raided the offices of a Swiss nonprofit" and accused members, including an American, or promoting Christianity.

The report explained, "The International Assistance Mission (IAM) has confirmed that the Taliban detained the American worker and 18 others. The Taliban stormed the offices of the nonprofit in Ghor, just 400 miles outside of Kabul."

The report explained Muslim extremists view non-governmental organizations as "a significant threat."

"Since Democrat President Joe Biden’s 2021 botched Afghanistan withdrawal, the group has introduced harsh measures for the Afghan people. Afghan women have been banned from education after the sixth grade. They are also prohibited from public life and work, including working for NGOs," the report said.

Those kidnapped workers are being detained in an unknown location, the report said.

"We are unaware of the circumstances that led to these incidents and have not been advised of the reason for the detention of our staff members," the IAM said. "The well-being and security of our colleagues are paramount to us, and we are doing everything possible to ensure their safety and secure their swift release."

The State Department confirmed it had been informed of the U.S. citizen, not yet identified, taken by the Taliban.

Fox, in a recent report, pointed out that young Democrat voters are leaning toward Trump over the "repeated examples of incompetency from the Biden administration," especially the Afghanistan disaster.

Jahmiel Jackson, 21, said, "I have seen the pullout of Afghanistan from Joe Biden. And then I watched him check his watch during the funeral of the servicemen. And I think if we were to go to a war, I’m prime age be drafted. And I don't want him to check his watch while they're burying me. I don't believe that he's a competent commander in chief. And then he'd probably blame my death on climate change in the same way he blamed the pullout in Afghanistan on Donald Trump."

A recent report in the Chicago Tribune explained the Pentagon has decided to interview again dozens of service members who were at the Kabul airport when a suicide bomber attacked and killed more than a dozen Americans.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Believe it or not, today's high priests of climate-change apocalypse are correct in predicting that in just a few short years, the earth will become miserable, wretched and almost uninhabitable by human beings. But the grim future they envision won't come about because of "catastrophic climate change," but rather, because of the implementation of their completely insane and truly catastrophic agenda.

As Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore recently admitted, "If they actually achieve Net Zero, at least 50% of the population would die of hunger and disease." Likewise, writes energy expert and author Alex Epstein: "Today's proposed policies to rapidly eliminate fossil fuel use would, if fully implemented, have truly apocalyptic consequences – making the world an impoverished, dangerous, and miserable place for most people."

Question: When the scientific case for global warming apocalypse consists primarily of a 1-degree Celsius rise in temperature over more than 130 years, what explains the obsession with an imminent, climate-caused end of the world?

Although many groups have been drawn into the Climate Change Cult – from the news media (which has warned of climate catastrophe, either global warming or a "new ice age," for over a century!), to innocent school kids indoctrinated by hysterical leftist teachers, to liberal Democrats who claim "climate change" will destroy the earth in a few years – the REAL villains are the national and global elites who KNOW the apocalyptic global warming religion is just a cruel hoax, but promote and exploit it as a means of accomplishing their ultimate goal: Transforming and ruling the world.

The heart and soul of today's bizarre, pagan climate-change religion, and the global elites' strategies for using it to rule all of mankind, is powerfully exposed and illuminated in the September issue of WND's critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, an issue titled "CULT OF THE CLIMATE APOCALYPSE: The elites' breathtaking strategy for ruling the world." WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
