State Department Interfering

The U.S. State Department is responsible for interfering with the departure of several planes holding American citizens and Afghan nationals at the Mazar-i-Sharif airport, BlazeTV host Glenn Beck reported on-air during his radio show Tuesday.

What are the details?

The planes — which held at least 100 American citizens and 1,000 Afghan nationals — were chartered by Mercury One and The Nazarene Fund, a charity founded by Beck aimed at facilitating evacuations from Afghanistan amid the U.S. military's withdrawal and the Taliban's takeover of the country.

Over the weekend, news broke that multiple planes had been prevented from taking off after the Taliban refused to grant permission for the departure. But according to Beck, it wasn't the Taliban that initially stopped the planes from exiting the country.

Rather, it was the State Department that refused to grant landing clearance to the planes, preventing them from departing. The department allegedly called off the flights at the last minute, declining to approve the manifest. He added that U.S. officials went on to hand over the manifest to the Taliban.

"They were on the plane, they were on the tarmac, they were [in] the seats ... [and] ready to go" before State Department officials intervened and de-boarded the plane, Beck explained Tuesday morning on his radio show. "They were told to go back into the airport and hand everything in to the Taliban."

"They were dismissed from the airport while the State Department works this out with the Taliban," he continued, noting that many of the passengers are now waiting things out in safe houses, "but not all."

"This was like the State Department sending up flares, saying [to the Taliban], 'Hey, look over here,'" he added later. The radio personality insisted that his team is working tirelessly to complete its mission despite the recent setback.

"We had all of it," he said on the radio. "We'll have to go back and get the people now for those planes. But as soon as we get the green light, those people will be able to go back on to those planes. And if there's one missing, I swear to you ... We have also eight to 10 other planes that are ready to fly out if Biden's State Department will just let us be."

PRAYER:

- O Lion of Judah!!! We ROAR at the appalling level of contempt and injustice being exercised by the Biden government!!! We cry out for them to be removed and replaced by those who honor the integrity of our God-fearing, covenant nation and righteousness!

Jesus, it is time to bind up these bad actors here on earth and in heaven. Would You please remove them to a place where they can encounter You, Your word, Your truth and repentance, in Jesus name. Please intervene on behalf of these people stranded and bring forth freedom and justice, for Your glory! Amen.
