By Timothy D. Naegele[1]
I spent two years working in the Pentagon, where I served as an Army officer assigned to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). When I finished my service there—as a Captain—I received the distinguished Joint Service Commendation Medal, before going to work in the U.S. Senate.[2]
Like many organizations, DIA has an alumni group, which ostensibly posts comments about timely issues. None is more important today than the collapse of our great nation’s presence in Afghanistan, and the loss of American, allied and Afghan lives. It is front and center globally. Yet, a former DIA employee, James Beirne—who presumably was a civilian when he worked there—has decided to ban my comments, which constitutes gross and unconscionable censorship. Americans have fought and died for our freedoms; and they are dying in Afghanistan today, to preserve them.[3]
No wonder Afghanistan constitutes a colossal defeat for the United States, which may surpass the fall of Saigon and Vietnam, and the Bay of Pigs fiasco, in terms of its national gravity. Presumably Beirne is part of the reckless “cancel culture,” which has no place in America today. He is a stain on the DIA where I worked before him, with outstanding co-workers who contributed greatly to our national security.
Beirne should resign in disgrace. Our nation is not well served by the likes of him. Indeed, the association’s motto is “Still Serving in Defense of the Nation.” Clearly, Beirne is not doing this, especially in crucial times like this when China’s Xi Jinping and Russia’s Vladimir Putin—and our other adversaries globally—are watching every move that we make, and gauging their responses accordingly.[4]
America does not need traitors at this critical juncture in our history.

On August 26, 2021, Beirne posted the following notice:
“You can’t post or comment in this group.
“The admin has temporarily turned off your ability to post or comment in the group until September 23, 2021, 2:07 PM.”
Needless to say, by late September, the world will know in meticulous detail what an unmitigated disaster Afghanistan has become for the United States, our friends in Afghanistan, and our allies globally.

It takes courage to tell the truth. Again, the differences between a patriot and a traitor.
The loss of one precious American life should weigh heavily on all of us. But traitors are oblivious to it, and would prefer to censor or bury the truth. They are un-American, and contemptible; and not fit to serve our great nation in any capacity.
Lastly, the debacle in Afghanistan will result in the targeting of Americans globally, as our adversaries are emboldened. NATO may be weakened as a viable alliance, because our allies don’t trust us anymore. And these are merely some of the ramifications of the Biden-Harris administration’s colossal failures.

Yet, after I posted articles (principally from the UK’s Daily Mail) that chronicled this unfolding tragedy, I was banned by James Beirne from posting anything. He should tender his resignation immediately.
Americans can and will be targeted by Islamic extremists. And the likes of Beirne must not have any roles in our intelligence community, even in a miniscule unimportant capacity.
They exemplify why we lost Afghanistan, and why more Americans and our allies will suffer. Indeed, others in the DIA alumni group encouraged Beirne and cheered him on (i.e., “aided and abetted” him); and they are not fit to serve and should resign as well.
They include Jim Murphy, Judi Demulling, Peter Park Jr., Joseph Mazzafro, Kathleen Morrish, Chris Centner, Sue Conterno, Ron Romich, Michael Woods, James Eden and Christopher Noble Johnston.

Are the U.S. and China moving inextricably toward war, which may end up being global in scope, at a time when the Biden-Harris presidency is teetering?
Afghanistan has fallen, in humiliation; our southern border is porous, at best, and a scandal; we have woke military traitors like General Milley at the top; we are dependent on oil from the Middle East again, instead of being energy independent; and China is vicious, having enslaved a million ethnic minorities including the Uyghurs, and used EMP weapons to “fry” Indian soldiers in its border war with that country.
And all of this is occurring as the next wave of the Coronavirus pandemic sweeps America, with no end in sight.

Of course it is a big deal. After the United States’ humiliating defeat in Afghanistan, China is moving methodically to achieve global domination by the end of this decade. And to “emasculate” Japan sends a strong message to Tokyo not to interfere with its takeover of Taiwan, among other Chinese targets in the Pacific.
Russia’s killer Putin is “along for the ride.”
