An Afghan anchorman was caught in the unenviable position of reading the news while surrounded by armed Taliban fighters – as he told his viewers to “not be afraid.”
The nervous-looking presenter of Afghan TV’s Peace Studio political debate show is seen talking while two extremists glaring from behind, as well as being surrounded by six others after they apparently stormed the studio, according to Unilad.
“This is what a political debate now looks like on Afghan TV, Taliban foot soldiers watching over the host,” the BBC’s Yalda Hakim said in a tweet.
“The presenter talks about the collapse of the Ghani govt & says the Islamic Emirate says the Afghan people should not to be afraid,” she added about the Sunday broadcast.
Kian Sharifi, another BBC journalist, also shared the chilling footage.
Iranian journalist Masih Alinejad called on President Joe Biden to watch the clip and “let us know if these militants posing behind this visibly petrified TV host are holding American weapons.”
She wrote: “This is surreal. Taliban militants are posing behind this visibly petrified TV host with guns and making him to say that people of #Afghanistan shouldn’t be scared of the Islamic Emirate.
Coming to America in a few weeks, stay tuned.
I shared this in the Bullpen yesterday, video of Saddam Hussein’s coup in 1979. He had all of the leaders of the country, hundreds of men, in the auditorium. It took one man who they broke. That man came to the podium, ‘acknowledged’ his crimes and asked to be executed. He then started naming names – and as each name was read that man was pulled from the audience and taken out. It didn’t take long for the rest to clamor for Saddam, to protect their own lives. He then had them execute the others, so they were complicit as well. Chilling, horribly brilliant, and scary to see how easily it can be done.

Imagine the Smell.
It takes guns to get the media to lie to the people, while our media does it voluntarily.
“My assistant Jim will now attempt to broadcast surrounded by stone-age savages.”
I can totally see Brian Stelter in the same exact position.
I remember seeing that the Taliban Army paid better that the Afgan Army.
So who’s paying them, the Heroin consortium, the Soros Gates Fausi foundation?
Somebody is making money off all of this.
They played music as Jews were being marched to the gas chambers. It’s kind of like that.
