As Afghanistan fell to the Taliban in August of 2021, the world witnessed surreal images of the sheer panic of the locals. From large crowds sprinting together on foot (as if the Taliban was literally at their heels) to the utterly insane scene at Kabul Airport, it all seemed a bit…off.
The United States military had decided to leave in an abrupt, disorganized and chaotic manner. Billions of dollars worth of supplies and weaponry were abandoned by the US and promptly seized by the conquering terrorist organization. Allies were left behind, people in the area who had helped the US military over the years various ways; people who had been promised safety, only to be abandoned suddenly after decades of US occupation. Again, something seemed very off about all of this.
The Airport
The stampede at Kabul Airport was the climax of all of this high drama. News stations played the video ad nauseam and told us with straight, solemn faces that people were really just this desperate to get out of town. Some people were scared and desperate enough to hop onto the side of a Boeing C-17 in an insane attempt to ride it for thousands of miles to safety while clinging to it from the outside.
This, of course, would be impossible and would of course only lead to 100% certain death…so how is that a good decision to make over just remaining in Afghanistan and awaiting fate, no matter how scary the Taliban is? How is certain death an improvement of circumstances? When I saw footage of this for the first time, I thought that it could definitely be a show; that these people were being paid to sell the Taliban as being more feared by these people than the Devil himself.
Look at how close people are to the turbine engines in the photo at the top of this page. Most people know that it’s not a good idea to get too close to these. The collage of images below shows the aftermath of a woman who stood too close to a turbine engine at an airport in January, 2023.
In all of the videos taken that day, no one is even so much as bothered by the eardrum-splitting noise of the engines as they run alongside, and even climb onto the Boeing C-17.
Speaking of those who decided to climb up the side of the plane…
There’s something weird about the photos and video of this part of the “takeoff” (in the video, we never actually see this particular C-17 takeoff from Kabul Airport). I’ll admit that I’m not a photography/videography expert, so I may be wrong to think that this is weird, but…look at the people clinging to the side of the plane: they are all literally as grey as the plane itself; what gives? Sure, they’re shadowed by the wing, but shadows don’t turn everything grey in broad daylight. And this phenomenon isn’t only present in the images; the videos of this show the same thing.
Is it just a trick of the light/shadow? Or were these people patched-in in post production? Or am I just an ignorant retard? These are all equally strong possibilities.
The People
Okay, say what you want about the grey people…let’s talk about everyone else.
If this is indeed a real C-17 actually about to takeoff, as opposed to an inflatable used for PSYOP purposes, then what are they hoping to accomplish? Here’s a picture of the inside of a C-17 which had fled Afghanistan with a bunch of refugees in tow:
Do you see any empty seats?
Of course this could just be a photo op taken as part of the PSYOP; we really don’t know. It should definitely be noted that one of these pictures which was spread across social media purporting to show a plane full of Kabul escapees was found to be faked, in that the picture itself was actually several years old and had been taken in a completely different country.
The point is that even if we trust that the other photographs of people escaping Kabul inside of C-17s are real, what these photos show is that the planes were already at, or over, max capacity. This makes the people running alongside the plane seem even more ridiculous. I guess we’re supposed to believe that everyone has literally just lost their mind? When you watch the video and look at the photos, they don’t even look distressed, though.
This guy (pictured above, front-center) seems happy. And everyone else is just kind of jogging around. The videos show no sense of urgency, even though we’re supposed to believe they’re trying to stop the plane from taking off so that they can overload it further with even more people somehow. They’re not banging on the side of the plane, shouting, covering their ears to protect their eardrums from being shattered by the noise of the turbine engines…just jogging. And the guys holding on for dear life on the side of the plane? They were literally taking selfies!
You’ll also notice a distinct lack of women. I guess chivalry is a rotting corpse because even though the Taliban is the scariest thing in existence all of a sudden, every man in the country is trying to leave their wives and children behind to suffer whatever fate they’re so desperate to escape.
What did the Taliban even do once they took over? Well, for one thing they put a stop to the poppy fields in Afghanistan being used for the production of heroin. Maybe these people are all junkies.
The Plane
Some have posited that the plane in question is actually an inflatable. This would be something like the inflatable tanks used by allied forces as decoys to disguise which part of Hitler’s Atlantic Wall they were going to attack. This theory points to the dense crowd of people jogging within arms-length of the C-17 as the actual driving force of the plane. Basically, these people aren’t just jogging around for the Hell of it, they’re pushing it along to create the illusion of a plane about to takeoff.
Coincidentally, this would also explain why no one is bothered by the turbine engines; because there are none.
And finally, it would also explain the grey people clinging to the side of the plane. If it’s actually just an inflatable, then they wouldn’t be able to climb onto the side of it and sit there without that area sinking a bit under their weight. I don’t remember anyone else talking about the grey people so this is just something I’m adding to the theory. I think maybe they were green screened-in and some kind of technical glitch caused them to be added to the video without color. I do want to again stress that I realize this specific part could be a nothingburger. I just want to include it as a possibility.
There is also coding on the plane: below the windows, the planes number is “1109”. With zeros not being anything, that’s 911 backwards. This is of course significant since it was the Taliban that the United States government and media blamed for the plane-related events of 9-11, 2001. And then they’re blaming the Taliban for the plane-related chaos at Kabul Airport in August, 2021. This is all happening as the 20-year anniversary of 9-11 approaches. Also 9+11=20 (for the 20th year anniversary).
Possible Casualties
On the other hand, there may have been up to three casualties as a result of falls and attempted plane-clinging. The above images are taken from two separate videos. One video shows two objects falling from a plane and the other shows a human-shaped shadow flapping around on the side of a plane. I’m including these in the interest of honest reporting, as one of my pet peeves is conspiracy websites and video channels that don’t include any information that could possibly contradict anything they say.
VICE ran an article saying that there was video showing the dead, destroyed bodies of those who fell from the plane and onto the Kabul Airport tarmac, but neither the video or the pictures in that article show that at all.

Back to the above image: I can’t say that it proves anything. The two dots falling could be anything. Thinking from the point of view of someone constructing a PSYOP, it would be easy to just drop a couple pieces of luggage or even clothed mannequins from a plane since either way it would only show up on video as two specks.
The video which is said to be the deceased body of an attempted stow away (one of the people hanging onto the side of the plane in previous photos and videos) is said to have been recorded by someone looking out a window from inside the plane. The problem with that is that the C-17 doesn’t have passenger windows running the length of it the way a commercial passenger plane does. The only windows are the ones for the pilots up front and I’m not sure if this shot could possibly be taken from the flight deck, or if anyone in the flight deck could have noticed anything on the side of the plane in the first place.
But again, these pictures are included here because the videos may in fact legitimately show casualties. It’s very possible that none of what happened at Kabul Airport was a PSYOP. Anyone that is 100% sure of anything when it comes to this type of thing is either overconfident or agenda-driven.
