There is a lot of misinformation and confusion about the #KSAR #OperationHercules #GoDark #OperationExplanation ordeal. 🧵

1) KSAR and OH is real. KSAR was at the airport - documented proof via pictures - with dogs including rescues & Military Contract Working Dogs (MCWDs).
2) VSA came out of the blue in the 11th hour of the operation claiming he could provide assistance. We will refer to him as #Puppymort now.

3) VSA continues to claim the MCWDs are in his possession, claims he has a Boeing 737 on the ground in Kabul awaiting clearance.
4) VSA has claimed this since the final US plane took off from Afghanistan.

5) VSA claims to be working with @StateDept and @RamsteinAirBase directly to get plane off the ground and dogs to Ramstein.

6) VSA claims to have 170 humans that will be aboard the 737 with 51 MCWDs
7) VSA has raised $1.4MM (as of last post) and claims to need $1.67MM, at $12,000 per head.

8) VSA is a 501c3 located in Colorado Springs, owned by former @gopelpaso Chairman Joshua Hosler.

9) VSA is actively seeking donations for this supposed flight.
10) KSAR, who originally had the dogs, and sources close to KSAR claim that VSA does not have affiliation or contact with them

11) Our sources, close to KSAR and part of the groups involved, have confirmed VSA will not respond to an attorney's request for proof of life of MCWDs.
14) KSAR and all sources close to them claim ALL dogs, including MCWDs were released by US Military before the departure of the final flight from Afghanistan at the command of the 82nd Airborne commander. KSAR US Citizen owner forced to leave airport before final flight.
13) The Taliban has posted videos and imagery of the airport, which do not show any dogs or airplanes the size capable of evacuating this many people.

14) RT Correspondent, Murad, has posted photos of dog toys and cut open bag of dog food at the hangar, as well as empty crates.
15) The Taliban claims to have the MCWDs dogs in their possession after searching for them. They also claim dogs (rescues) will either be trained to work for Islam Emirates Armed Forces or given to rescues in the city.
16) VSA continues to claim they have the dogs, and the number of dogs and people continue to change. There are now 51 MCWDs and 134 people, compared to 170 people in previous posts - as of their last post within the hour.
This is developing, and more information to come I'm sure. But this is the information I have now.
