Just a heads up, I'm being intentionally vague here,  but scores of Afghani refugees are being brought in and domiciled in NOVA as we speak. We're talking hotels and large municipal facilities. Eventually, they're going to be dispersed statewide to other remote facilities. The U.S. Dept of state is behind it with help from the VA state and local officials.   I wonder what this is going to do to are COVID infection rates?  Also,  90% are military age males. Gee, I wonder how many of them are really wolves in sheep's clothing? This state is rapidly eclipsing the Northeast in sheer stupidity.

Stay vigilant.

Nothing like putting a Fox in a hen house, so to speak. (Close proximity to DC and given the 11th is right around the corner - I normally don’t subscribe to “coincidence”).

If they're the cowards who dropped their guns and ran from the Taliban, then there's nothing to fear other than them making questionable voting choices, of which the state's already beyond saving. If they're Taliban sleeper agents, that's another story.

Fox News last night had video of several busses, escorted by Fairfax County police cars, taking Afghans to hotels in Annandale. Video did not show which hotels, and news reporter said that he could not disclose where the refugees were being housed. But the tag line on the video, said  "Annandale, Va."

Let's be totally honest here. The reason why Biden and Governor Blackface would want them here is because they'd vote for their party. If they didn't, they'd put them right back to Afghan and tell them good luck. They're going to put them in some swing district to ensure they get the right votes.

That would match patterns that have developed over the last twelve years.  Could already be an established Afghany community there, but don't know. But, seeding is a real thing and current HMFICs have no credibility of truth.

IIRC there is a gun show scheduled there in the first weekend in October. I wonder if that's going to work.

There is an established Afghan community in NoVA going back to the 1980s.

Yeah, some dropped their guns, and there may be an infiltrator. But there are a lot who worked with us, exposed themselves to danger by that simple fact of association with Americans, and many military age males did more and put it on the line for and with us. Some of them paid in advance and in blood. Remember that - I’m praying for the lives and families of some of the ones I knew.

Worth considering:  rescued by the United States Marine Corps and United States Air Force, their liberation from the Taliban occurred under a Republican President, and this debacle under a Democrat.

As a voting bloc a few years out, they won’t be voting Democrat.

Its the US Government. - It'll be there awhile. The Feds are throwing a huge amount of $$$ at it.

Last March they were setting up contingency plans to turn the  Expo center into a makeshift COVID hospital if it got really bad. Plenty of room to park refrigerated morgue food delivery trucks.

I haven't seen that, and would be a little surprised given the large amount of WW2 barracks that are open and available.

Not to mention the buildings they kicked deploying military units out of to make room...

What was reported was that the refugees would be housed in the modern buildings, and the soldiers would go into tents. There are a LOT of housing units on Pickett, so I'm surprised it would require tents, but I've never stopped to count the total capacity.

I also wonder if any of them are put up on the DOS side of the base? That's an area where there doesn't have to be any DOD approval or other involvement besides support.

There aren't any tent cities going up right now, at least not in the mil areas.

AT season is pretty much over by the end of this week- not sure what soldiers they would need to displace into tents. Unless its us since we're pretty much the last ones here and they can't wait 48hrs more- but I can't get chow, transport, etc repositioned in that timeframe since all those are contracted vs in-house.

DOS certainly made this giant shitshow, which makes me think there is pretty much no chance it'll actually be their folks, their buildings, their resources, etc that have to deal with it...

I was going to post the same news article.

I have some friends who've been hired on to a short-term contract to set up tents. Apparently, there have already been arrivals at Pickett.

FYI - The Blackstone mayor quoted in that article is also the head of the local newspaper, the Courier-Record, that I've made mention to in other posts.

Sure enough.

So preparations are underway in full swing, including kicking military units out of billeting and training venues to make room. Fully (over)loaded, Ft Pickett can likely house about 7k in barracks, so there are indeed plans for tentage as well but nothing is up yet. I suspect it will be using the large fields near RTI where the toxic FEMA trailers were parked many years ago.

We pull put of here shortly, and just in time. Security is going to be a nightmare, and the usability of the facilities afterwards (ask those who supported ops during Katrina...) is going to be an issue that burns us on the backend of this, I bet.

The report from the newspaper I've been following (which so far has been 1-2 days ahead of the rest of the news, and entirely accurate in its reporting) says that Pickett is preparing for up to 10K refugees, with 6K arriving by week's end.

Despite what some of the media fearmongers are saying, I don’t think there’s any real risk of terrorism, sleeper cells and other boogeyman stuff.

The real danger is their kids getting indoctrinated in public schools, growing up and getting indoctrinated even worse in college, totally assimilating and becoming regular shitty Americans who vote blue and clog up 66.

ETA: anyone have any clue what the actual numbers are thus far?

Same. I just braved Calcutta AKA Walmart for motor oil.   Nice to see the refugees get concealment screening from those pesky reporters.    I estimated about 50 coach buses, that's about 50 a bus. = 2,500 people capacity.  They're going to be there awhile, like 60+ days there. Maybe they'll be gone for the next potpourri crafts show in December.

Dock area is already overflowing with trash bags.  Light FCPD presence. Only saw two cars on the backside.  Never did drive around front.

Why would they need to be armed? The people at the expo center are not being detained. They can leave and go wherever they want. If they have family in the US, most aren’t going here or just until their family can come get them. The people who are going to the expo center are people who have no where else to go.

It is suppose to be a temporary shelter with most people staying only 24 to 48 hours before being transported to other locations. Last I heard, there has only been a couple of hundred here at any one time yet but this info could be old by now.

Supposedly the first of 5,000+ were moved to Camp Upshur on Quantico Sunday.
