A National Guardsman is dead, and the official story keeps shifting. What began as reports of an Afghan national near the White House has spiraled into revelations about a CIA-backed commando, a botched vetting process, and suspicious digital breadcrumbs hours before the attack. In this episode, Chris breaks down what the media won’t, why both parties helped create this mess, and how 20 years of failed foreign policy may be circling back as blowback at home.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Watchdog on Wall Street podcast explaining the news coming
out of the complex worlds of finance, economics, and politics
and the impact it we'll have on everyday Americans. Author,
investment banker, consumer advocate, analyst, and trader Chris Markowski.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Okay, haven't done a podcast on this yet. I've been
gathering as much information as I can in regards the
DC attack on the National guardsman, one of them being killed,
followed the story. Again, you can watch what the media
does and how they report on these things. We were
(00:37):
initially told that the shooter shooter was near the White
House and wasn't Afghan national. But it's a little bit,
a lot of bit worse than that. This individualists Ron
Malala Lakanawal twenty nine years old, wasn't just any Afghan Michael,
(01:02):
highly trained veteran, highly trained veteran of Afghanistan's elite Commando Corps,
fighting alongside US special forces in Kandahar for over a decade,
again part of a CIA backed Kandahar Strike Force and
(01:23):
DSTH a convert paramilitary unit described as one of the
most lethal and secretive forces of the Afghan War. This
unit carried out night raids, counter terror missions, targeted operations
on the Taliban and al Qaeda, intelligence driven strikes outside
the Afghan chain of command. Again, he had worked with
(01:47):
multiple agencies during the war. How he got into the
United States granted a special immigrant visa on s IV
in twenty twenty one during the withdrawal. Now, if you
remember the withdrawal and what a disaster, an absolute disaster
(02:15):
that was people jump on on airplanes. We all know
about the people who were killed, our servicemen that were killed.
The disaster flew all these people into the country. They
claimed that they were vetted.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
They just let them go. Now, let them go.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I'm gonna give you a mental picture. You're gonna remember this,
probably more than you would the news stories. When remember
under I ninety five I ninety five South Florida, when
Castro opened up the prison all the people got out. Yeah,
that scene in scarface, their interviewing Tony Montana. We even
(03:01):
do that, Come on in, Come on in, got an
SIV visa, later received asylum. Had been living in Washington State,
has a wife and five.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Sons.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Relatives haven't heard from him. Odd things, odd things surrounding
this for some reason, some reason.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Again, you explained this.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
To me, why if you look at Google Trends data,
which anybody can take a look at, shows a spike
in searches for his name in the DC region hours.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Before the attack. What does that prove?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I don't know nothing really, but why all of a
sudden would be the surge and looking up the name
Raman Nu La Laka nw waal Okay in the DC
area hours before the attack. I've never heard a name
like that in my entire life. Does this not deserve investigation?
(04:20):
Should we not be looking at IP? That would where
I would.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Be going right now? You know what's going on with
the IP data here?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Don't know, don't know, but yeah, someone with that type
of skill, I don't know, may want to keep an
eye on these types of people. Do you read any
history books on Afghanistan and how they operate and how
(04:55):
they flip sides and how things work there. Uh, story's
gonna go away. Story's gonna go away. We're not gonna
get the full story on this because they don't want
us to.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
They don't want us to. You can go online.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
You can look at the videos of guys like Lindsey
Graham cheering on the You know, all of these Afghan
nationals streaming into the country.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Both sides of the aisle, not just both sides.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I think there was maybe sixteen seventeen Republicans that said no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
we're not doing this. I know Thomas Massey was on that.
Marjorie Taylor Green was on that list. I think Chip
Roy was as well.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I saw it.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I don't have it in front of me at this
point in time, but no, no, both Democrats and Republicans. Oh,
come on in, I'm going to read you something from
Ron Paul. National Guard member was tragically murdered Washington, d C.
(06:12):
By an Afghani national formerly employed by the CIA during
our war to change.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
The government of the Afghanistan. Yes, regime change, regime change.
We like to do regime change. Right.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Oh yeah, we love regime change. But that's got another
podcast coming up. We'll talk about regime change. He was
able to enter the United States due to the lenient
border controls under the Biden administration and his cooperation in
fighting the Taliban. Generating a motive for this horrible deed
is not simple, but we can hardly ignore our foreign
(06:48):
policy and our presence in Afghanistan for twenty years without
any evidence that in anything to do with our national
defense zero. Afghanistan has been a grave yard of empires,
going all the way back to Alexander the Great. Prior
to our empire's failure, the British and Soviets preceded us
(07:10):
in the Afghan graveyard. The Soviet failure in Afghanistan nineteen
o nine coincided with the collapse in bankruptcy of their
communist system. We learned nothing and plunged in for twenty years,
wasting an extraordinary amount of wealth, creating tremendous death PTSD
and mountains of bills for veterans affairs. Like the Soviets,
We've ended up with less freedom, a plunging standard of living,
(07:33):
and bankruptcy. Our empire has created many instances of blowback
throughout the years, and yet despite all this failure and blowback,
our government refuses to give up and ditch the empire.
It chooses to set its sites on more nations to
invade and or regime change. You understand who you're dealing
(07:56):
with there in this country. This is a very primitive society.
A pupil of Afghani people percent ninety percent said they
want to live under sharia law. Democrats and ninety percent
(08:18):
of Republicans, including the pundits on Fox News, bring.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Them on in. They're gonna offendom. Come asure, come on.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
And you know we brought in two hundred thousand since
twenty fifteen.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
And you know we we're talking. Oh, these these are
all translators for our troops.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
We can't leave them there. They're all going to be killed.
They're translators er troops. We had one hundred thousand troops there. Well,
you want to do the math? We had what two
translators for every every member, every every military guide there,
we had two translators each one. Do you see the
stream of lack of a better phrase, bullshit that is
(09:05):
perpetually thrown at us? You think you're gonna find that,
and we think they're gonna get anything behind us?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
You had? It was so funny.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Kirsty Nome came out and put out and I'm telling you,
I'm calling BS on this BS press release.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
He was radicalized here right where Christal? What? What mosque? What? What? What?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
My?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
What? If you was radicalized here? What mosque?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
What imm And why aren't we shutting that that moss
down right at this point in time three two one.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Why hasn't it been rated? Why? Because what you're saying
is bullshit and it could mean me call me crazy.
There's saw you maga types out there. Aren't you just
tired of being lied to? Watchdog on Wall Street dot

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
