Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

I hope you realize that my track record on Afghanistan is spot-on perfect. For years, I said that the Taliban would never tolerate the keeping of any foreign forces in Afghanistan. It took Trump and his people about two years to realize that they really meant it, that they weren't going to bend on that. But hey, better late than never. 

Now, the Taliban's military momentum is like a tsunami. They are gaining more territory every day. And, the most significant thing about it is that it is often happening without violence. The other side is just giving up. They don't want to fight, and who can blame them? They are switching sides, and they are being welcomed and accepted by the Taliban. 

The Taliban is also saying that, despite their military dominance, they remain committed to "dialogue and understanding." And I know exactly what they mean because it isn't just government soldiers who are joining them. Other kinds of government workers are also doing it- going over to their side- and they too are being welcomed with open arms. 

The bottom line is that the Taliban knows that the successor government is going to need all kinds of personnel to run the country, and they're all for keeping the ones who have been doing it- so long as they pledge allegiance to the Taliban. So, in that respect, there will be a  merger of the Taliban with the Afghan government. 

But, the clincher is that the top leadership will have to leave. Ghani, Abdullah, and anyone they consider a quisling will have to go.  They won't kill them, but they will make them go. 

So, Afghanistan is going the way of Vietnam, and the plain, unvarnished truth is that we lost both wars. 

The big question that remains is: how long will it take for Kabul to fall? I will simply say: less than a year. So, it will fall faster than Saigon did.  

Clarification regarding recent enemy fabrications and propaganda

After the stooge enemy was exposed and suffered humiliating defeats across the country where thousands of soldiers defected and embraced the open arms of the Islamic Emirate, and nearly two hundred districts were cleansed from their malicious presence, the enemy has now reached for propaganda, fabrications and other futile tactics regarding which we clarify the following:

– Fake statements, documents, threats and other letters are recently being circulated on social media and even physically airdropped into some areas that impose restrictions on locals, threatens them, specifies gender laws, regulates lives, beards, movements and even contains baseless claims about marriage of daughters and other such issues.

– Similarly fake videos and footage of multi-year-old video scenes showing activities of Daesh militias are also passed off as recent actions committed by the Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate.

– Moreover, spurious claims and propaganda is being conjured and handed over to media by the enemy about horrendous dealings by the Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate with locals in the recently liberated districts.

– Unfounded reports about inflicting hundreds of casualties on the Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate or retaking recently liberated districts are also being published by the enemy.

The Islamic Emirate rejects all above material and does not allow anyone to transgress against people anywhere, or to impose laws and regulations by themselves, or to circumscribe lives, and neither has there been any ill-treatment of women and men, nor is anyone allowed to do so.

All this propaganda by the enemy is aimed at controlling their fear and anxiety, to distract common thinking and to cover up their compounding failures.

We want all media outlets, activists and the general public to not fall victim to such propaganda and to rest assured about their Mujahideen brothers. All our publications will be distributed through our official and other channels through which we have communicated with outlets over the past twenty years. Any material published by any additional and novel channels should be ignored.
