Can anyone provide links or names of WA orgs (preferably veteran owned) that are helping Afghanistan refugees in WA get resettled? Would like to help with food, job search, etc.

Thanks,

Here's what I found doing a quick search.


Google "Afghan refugee help Washington" for additional links.
 
I personally believe that we have a responsibility to some of the Afghans who risked their lives, and their families lives to help the effort.

I just want us to be making sure that that's who we are getting. They should be vetted, checked and checked again.

THIS.

Help those who helped us.

GET out all Americans, ALL VETERANS, contractors and their MILITARY WAR DOGS too.

Help get out the A. Christians where .orgs - various groups wanted to help them but the State Department and/or the CIA (SD for sure!) tried to stop the NON .gov planes with ZERO U.S. TAX DOLLAR MONEY INVOLVED. They even wanted to stop Macedonia (Basically an Orthodox Christian nation.) from taking in the A. Christians. A few Muslim countries offered to help and take them in.

OTHER countries should be helping ALL of those people too. Especially ones that complain that they need all of our U.S. TAX MONEY for THEIR endless wars, PROTECTION and equipment while they SPIT IN OUR FACE and continue to have their hands out for MORE.

America sure can be STUPID in these matters. Especially since the PNAC POLICIES from the neo cons on the Right and on the Left continue to screw up this country and other countries world wide.

They sure made a LIST OF THOSE 7 COUNTRIES and look what has happened!

ONE big cluster you know what.

Flip flop on freedom fighter to terrorist. Check!

NO thanks to the CIA and to the biggest bunch of LIARS and propagandists of all = PNAC - PROJECT FOR THE NEW AMERICAN CENTURY and the right/left idiots who supported ALL of those policies.

ANY American worth his salt should have fought PNAC YEARS AGO and even now.

I did but most people are just plain ignorant in these matters and PAID NO ATTENTION on what their end goal was in all matters. Follow the money, connect the dots and see who really benefits from these creeps in government and their ardent true believers on the R and on the L!

It's my opinion that the mistake our people make is thinking that others live by our values. 21 years ago we went to war because we were attacked by people we let into this country that didn't share our values. Thousands of live and trillions lost as blood and treasure paid for the mistake of letting terrorists in.

Probably the worst thing that came from letting them in was our loss of freedoms. If 19 terrorists caused so many problems then how many problems will come from hundreds of thousands who don't share our values.

America falls today because we were foolish enough to trust.
 
They are legitimately seeking asylem from a new gov bent on murdering and or torturing them, they deserve our help unlike the mexicans pouring over the border cause they want free stuff.
 
No thanks. Like we need more illiterate dregs of humanity in the WA!
Unfortunately your view will be pounced upon as racist, bigoted and homophobic as your thinking doesn't fit the narrative you are supposed to live. Very quickly you are told how bad you are for seeing differences in people and your thoughts are considered spewing hate. You are expected to be the lemming and how dare you think different than what you are told to. :s0142: Come on man, do you think you still live in America where you can think for yourself?:s0140::D

Notice how many likes from those who follow the narrative on what a bad person you are.

Myself I believe folks have opinions and how they play out becomes a learning process. Your point that bringing uneducated people into your area is valid and frankly the school systems in America won't educate the folks comming in.

Have a great day friend.
 
Our mistake is flip flopping all over the world with backing tyrants, presidents, kings, queens, assorted dictators and other political leaders and their THUGS/GANGS.

Our mistake was always playing 'savior of the world' AND playing the world's COP ON THE BEAT. Among other things but I wrote this back in the late 90's and on AND SAID IT long before that time frame. BEFORE COMPUTERS were easy to obtain.

You fight a war? S or get off the pot! IN and OUT! My late husband used to say, "KILL them all and let GOD sort them out! YOU do not fight a war half @@@ed."

YOU do not let your military men/women fight a war with their hands TIED BEHIND THEIR BACKS.

YOU do not go into a war with LINES DRAWN that you can't go here or there. That goes for being on the ocean, on land and in the air.

You do NOT have NO BID CONTRACTS LIKE YOU DID WITH LBJ'S WIFE'S CONTACTS - NAM ERA, VP DICK AKA SHOOTER - LOL AND OTHERS OF THEIR ILK.

YOU DO NOT HAVE A LEADER - LOL - LIKE VP DICK HEAD WHO GAVE STAND DOWN ORDERS AND TONS MORE ON 9/11.

YOU do not have a leader like BYE - BIDEN and others of his ILK withdraw as he/they did. HE IS A DISGRACE AND A LYING SACK OF POOP. THROW IN SOME BIG SHOTS IN THE MILITARY THERE, SOME CIA FOLKS AND SOME STATE DEPARTMENT FOLKS WHO ROYALLY EFFED UP THIS ENTIRE MESS.

YOU do not have a leader like TRUMP who continued to give false promises and let a whole bunch of people out of Gitmo and more. HE LET OUT 5,000 AND SAID THAT THEY WOULD FIGHT THE TALIBAN. LOL YEAH - RIGHT!

YOU do not elect CRAZY LAND - SENILE LAND - crooked - CON ARTISTS aka leaders in both parties if you want a SANE and MORAL SYSTEM RUNNING THE GOVERNMENT WITH CLEAR AND DEFINED GOALS AND PLANS when it comes to INTERNATIONAL and national policies.

OUR mistake was and still IS being in other countries that do NOT want us there or they started WW1, WW2, and other conflicts/wars so we fight them and turn around and rebuild them - give them AID, MIC EQUIPMENT and WE shed our blood, sweat, tears and lives for them and they end up being better BUILT THAN WHAT WE HAVE HERE. Infrastructure and tons more.

Plus they spit on us, laugh at us and tons more ALL ACROSS THIS WORLD.

Especially now since BYE BYE BIDEN effed up this withdrawal and TRUMP AND THE REST OF THE PREVIOUS IDIOTS IN CHARGE DID THE SAME OLD CRAPOLA. ALL OF THEM.

BUT THE CIA AND OTHER ASSORTED DRUG RUNNING R/L CROWDS loved the dope running and gun running over THERE. There is and was a reason why they called Bush 1 - POPPY! LOL

Dang, they were flying dope out of Nam and more.

Crap down in Panama and elsewhere. That is OLD news.

When they (Those other countries including ones in the Mid East.) do not do what WE want or say - we (USA) drop them or WE choose to cause CHAOS in their own countries and start being friends with the other side aka some other leader as long as it suits our own cartels, eerrr, parties in the District of Criminals on the L and R.

When they outlive their usefulness as some USEFUL IDIOT LEADER and when WE decide that we want their country, region to control sea ports, some natural resources, another pipeline, strategic landing area, some more minerals, etc. - we flip flop around and make some more CHAOS.

DO we make CHAOS HAPPEN? Heck - yes and so do THEY! Same s - different day.

Blow back is caused by many things and not only with failed policies in the international world.

Plus the bankers have been HOT TO TROT to bring in their policies to all of those former and present countries that wanted to or still want to remain SOVEREIGN IN THEIR OWN RIGHT with their own currency/coin and financial policies in their OWN BANKS. But people especially Americans and some Europeans still remain DENSE and continue to love their own ignorance there.

Throw in what IKE spoke about in one of his last speeches or a final one when it came to the MIC and he specifically WARNED US ABOUT these matters. IKE knew what he was talking about. God bless his soul. I happen to think that HE was the last great President in so MANY WAYS that this nation has had IN MY LIFETIME!

NONE of these 5 deferment Rs, Ds, etc. U.S. presidents and other assorted idiots in the State Department, CIA, Pentagon, etc. know jack squat and THEY really do not give a rat's butt about this nation.

They were PUT IN THERE TO CREATE CHAOS and to MAKE MORE DISTRACTIONS.

PIT AMERICANS AGAINST ONE ANOTHER.

PIT NATIONS AGAINST NATIONS!

THEY WOULD NOT KNOW PEACE OR A CONSERVATIVE FISCAL BUDGET IF IT JUMPED UP AND BIT THEM ON THEIR BUTT!

IT is all smoke and mirrors - same crapola - flip side of the same coin. The commies and SJW socialists are just as bat s crazy and controlling as the warmongers - chicken hawk big mouths on the R and on the L.

PLUS believing the PNAC NEO CON ARTISTS on the R and on the L is the ultimate BETRAYAL of true peace and continued CHAOS in this country and around the world. The R and D presidential puppets have their strings pulled by both parties and by many high powered men/women and not only with specific lobbies. People like Soros and more.

Flip side of the same coin = PNAC con artists in BOTH PARTIES!

BOTH parties and presidents (R/D-D/R) supported destroying 7 countries for sure.

READ the PNAC POLICIES and their entire agenda.

THEY laughed at killing people and destroying nations. THEY laughed at and CREATED MORE REFUGEES THAT FLED THOSE WAR TORN COUNTRIES over and over again.

THEY SHOULD HAVE LEFT MOST OF THOSE LEADERS IN POWER and many of those countries may not have loved their leaders 100% but they were getting schools built, bringing in infrastructure, giving medical care, etc. BUT most Americans are still stupid when it comes to those parts of history.

PLUS the warmongers and others do NOT want independent countries that are not tied into the INTERNATIONAL BANKING GANSTAS - THEY hate that with a passion.

Throw in the other messes - read the book called Confessions of a Economic Hitman or a title like that among many other financial - geopolitical books.

Putting sanctions on some countries and NOT on other countries is another big and STUPID MISTAKE made by us. It is another BIG FAT LIE told to Americans while the MASS MEDIA LAPS up this crapola and spreads it over the airwaves like a kitten with a bowl of milk.

Meanwhile the LEFT and the RIGHT get all huffy about this mess and yet they NEVER OR HARDLY EVER ADMIT THAT ALL OF THIS WAS CAUSED MANY MOONS AGO WHEN ONE MAN'S 'FREEDOM FIGHTER' WAS ANOTHER MAN'S TERRORIST due to the CIA, state department and many Rs and Ds in power including many working at the Pentagon who NEVER EVEN SERVED IN THE MILITARY or had some pencil pushing job in an AC office.

Heck, LOOK at what KISSINGER SAID ABOUT OUR OWN TROOPS! VIETNAM AND MORE!

Yet that jack @@@ worthless TRAITOR, old Henry, IS STILL ADVISING leaders in his HALF DEAD ANCIENT BODY. Ugh.

OUT of chaos... you know the line and it is not some theory.

HOW THIS COUNTRY HANDLED THIS EXIT IS A CRYING SHAME. FIRST OFF - IT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED LONG AGO. NO BS LIES BY R AND D LEADERS.

SECOND, IF THEY WENT AFTER OBL AND OTHERS WHEN WE SUPPORTED HIM - SAW THIS - IT COULD HAVE BEEN NIPPED IN THE BUD.

OBL WAS AN ASSET - A CIA ONE AND HE WAS SUPPORTED BY THIS COUNTRY AS A FREEDOM FIGHTER WHEN THE RUSSIANS WERE FIGHTING OVER THERE FOR A PIPE LINE AND TONS MORE MINERAL WISE AND FOR CONTROL OF A REGION.

THIRD, OBL WAS KILLED A LONG TIME AGO AND NOT WHEN OBAMA WAS PRESIDENT. ANY SANE PERSON WITH A CLUE KNOWS THIS FACT.

MY OPINION. YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY.

HE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED EVEN EARLIER BEFORE HIS KIDNEY FAILURE GOT HIM - KILLED HIM BUT 'WE LET HIM GO'. THAT IS ANCIENT NEWS.

CRIKEY, WE LET NAZI SCIENTISTS IN AND OTHER NASTY PEOPLE INTO THIS COUNTRY. YOU like that crapola? NOT me.

WE NEED TO HELP THE PEOPLE WHO HELPED US WHEN IT CAME TO THIS GOD AWFUL AND STUPID WAR DUE TO OUR OWN STUPID POLICIES AND TONS MORE.

THIS ENTIRE MESS WAS AND STILL IS A MESS. IT IS SHAMFUL ON HOW ALL OF IT WAS HANDLED BY PAST, PREVIOUS PEOPLE AND EVEN MORE NOW WITH THIS FREAKING IDIOT IN POWER. HE IS JUST ANOTHER LIAR AND SO ARE ONES TIED INTO THIS FIASCO.

I bet some of you think that Bush 2 was right in letting so many of OBL's FAMILY fly out of this country when NO one else could fly or leave this country.

Many Americans still do not know those facts or think that it was all okey dokey since Bush's own FAMILY and many others in both parties had friends and money ties/oil ties with Saudi Arabia.

It's beginning to be reveiled the massive airlift was an intentional and massive bait and switch.
Designed to change the subject and shape the narrative.

Look what a great job we did....greatest airlift in history....120,000+ people...yada yada yada..

Play dumb as to how many Americans and SIV's needed to be airlifted out.
Play dumb as to how many Americans and SIV's actually made it out.

Actually translates to:

Leave American citizens behind.
Leave the SIV's behind.

Load the planes with (mostly) the general Afghan population.

That said, God bless the good people who made it out and the troops and crews that got them out. Assist as best we can.

The Biden administration, the incompetent ideologes they appoint and current Democrat leadership are the most cynical, intentionally ignorant and intentionally destructive force in America today. Biden just spent 20 minutes talking to the American public spreading greed, hatred and envy toward successful individuals and corporations. This is Animal Farm, 1984 and Atlas Shrugged all rolled together playing out before our eyes.

I find it difficult to support people who attempt to mobilize the masses by invoking any or all of the 7 deadly sins.

If you do not agree with them they are coming after you and your wealth.
Liberty?....enough of that nonsense. You will conform.

The pivot back to domestic terrorism is imminent.

Most people only think in the moment and not of the future. The refugees would be better off in a Muslim country that shares their values. Bringing them here sets up a clash of cultures and folks should ask themselves if they want to give up their culture so the refugees can live their Muslim culture.

Do you want to give up the things you love to do to appease another segment of society as they get established?

Folks think we are a melting pot of one America when we think of refugees. Unfortunately we are a divided nation the future is more division rather than diversity.

Culture depends on a time and place. For example, previous to the overthrow of the Shah, Iran was a westernized and very well-off country. I am not saying you are wrong in your opinion - it's just something that I wanted to point out.

One could argue that westernization never really took hold in Iran, and that the rapid modernization sponsored by the Shah actually fueled the Islamic revolution. A significant proportion of the population was willing to take to the streets to restore a more traditional version of Iranian culture. The era of the Shah was more of an aberration than a state of normalcy.

Just as US attempts to install gender equality in Afghanistan never really had any impact outside of Kabul.
 
I might differ a bit here.

I want to bring our folks home. Close up our borders. Roll up the carpet. Take care of our domestic issues, which are many. Then maybe in another decade we can think about bringing new folks in. I am tired of the constant race to help the international community while our folks here at home are running in the deficit of help.

It is time to nation build here at home for a while.
I am not sure what all of that would like, but maybe we could get a few potholes filled around the city of potlandistan.
