Op-Ed # 610 The Secret Speech by Communist Defense Minister Chinese General Chi Haotian Explaining How They Intend to Destroy The US

By Capt Joseph R. John, March 10, 2023 

In 2005, THE EPOCH TIMES acquired a secret speech given by Communist Chinese Defense Minister General Chi Haotian to high-level Chinese Communist Party (CCP) members sometime before his retirement in 2003.  Details given in General Haotian’s speech coincide with previously unpublished 

defector testimony on Sino-Russian military plans for the United States.  After you read General Haotian’s speech, you will fully understand that for the last 20 years, Communist China has been activating his plan to kill 200 million Americans in the future.

 

General Haotian comments in his “Secret Speech”, 20 years ago, placed the United States in Communist China’s gun sites, and CCP has been activating a plan to  “destroy the United States from within” and take control of it.  General Haotian proposed to repopulate the United States, and according to the US Border Patrol, thousands of Communist Chinese Illegal Immigrants have been flooding into the United States through the wide open southern border among the 5 million entering Illegal Aliens.  Over the last two years, 1,500,000 Got-Aways also entered the United States, which must have included a large percentage of Communist Chinese Illegal Aliens.     

 

The Biden/Obama administration has been cooperating with Communist China, by helping repopulate the United States.  The repopulating plan appears to be to increase the new number of Illegal Aliens entering the United States over next two years to a total of 10 million, and to increase the Got-Aways entering the United States to a total of over 3 million.  Funding for the living expenses of the Illegal Aliens, will be paid for by hard working American taxpayers, for a total of over 33+ million Illegal Aliens. That number of Illegal Aliens, includes the 13 million Illegal Aliens being allowed to enter the US by the Biden/Obama Administration, when they are added to the estimated 20+ million Illegal Aliens who previously entered the United States illegally

 

The below quotes from Defense Minister General Chi Haotian are chilling, yet Biden/Obama continue to give Communist China the rope to hang Americans: 

 

“We must lead the Chinese people outside of China, and increase the Chinese population inside the US is the most important determinant of the Chinese Communist Party’s leadership position.” 

“The United States is the most successful country in the world today. Only after we have learned all of its useful experiences can we replace it in the future.”

“The hidden message is: we must put up with America; we must conceal our ultimate goals, hide our capabilities, and await the opportunity.”

“The 20 years of the idyllic theme of “peace and development” has come to an end, and concluded that modernization under the saber is the only option for China’s next phase.”

 

“Our economic development is all about preparing for the needs of war; we will not hesitate to fight a Third World War!”

“If these future (Communist China’s) soldiers do not hesitate to kill, even non-combatants, they will naturally be doubly ready and ruthless in killing combatants.”

 

“The reason that the United States exists today is that it has never seen war on its mainland. Once its enemies aim at the mainland, these enemies would reach Washington before its Congress finishes debating and authorizes the president to declare war.  But for us, we don’t waste time on these trivial things.”

 

“Our Chinese society has always worshipped sages, and that is because we don’t worship any God.  Once you worship a God, you can’t worship a person at the same time, unless you recognize the person as the God’s representative like they do in Middle Eastern countries.”

 

“Maybe you have now come to understand why we recently decided to further promulgate atheism. If we let theology from the West into China and empty us from the inside, if we let all Chinese people listen to God and follow God, who will obediently listen to us and follow us?”

 

“Only the countries of the United States, Canada, and Australia have the vast land to serve our (Communist China’s) need for mass colonization.”

 

“Therefore, solving the “issue of America” is the key to solving all other issues.  First, this makes it possible for us to have many people migrate there and even establish another China under the same leadership of the CCP.”

“We are not as foolish as to want to perish together with America by using nuclear weapons,...  Only by using non-destructive weapons that can kill many people will we be able to reserve America for ourselves.  There has been rapid development of modern biological technology, and new bio-weapons have been invented one after another.  Of course, we have not been idle, in the past years we have seized the opportunity to master weapons of this kind.  We are capable of achieving our purpose of “cleaning up” America all of a sudden.  We must focus instead on developing lethal weapons that can eliminate mass populations of the enemy country.”

 

“The relationship between China and the United States is one of life-and-death struggle.” 

 

“It is historical destiny that China and the United States will come to unavoidable confrontation on a narrow path and fight each other!  In the long run, the relationship of China and the United States is one of a life-and-death struggle.”

“We must prepare ourselves for two scenarios.  If our biological weapons succeed in the surprise attack, the Chinese people will be able to keep their losses at a minimum in the fight against the United States.  If, however, the attack fails and triggers a nuclear retaliation from the United States, China would perhaps suffer a catastrophe in which more than half of its population would perish.” 

“From a humanitarian perspective, we should issue a warning to the American people and persuade them to leave America and leave the land they have lived in to the Chinese people.” 

It is indeed brutal to kill one or two hundred million Americans, but that is the only path that will secure a Chinese century in which the Chinese Communist Party leads the world.”

 

“Now, it seems like we are in the same critical period as the “horses were drinking water” in the Yangtze River days in the revolutionary era, as long as we resolve the United States problem at one blow, our domestic problems will all be readily solved.  Therefore, our military battle preparation appears to aim at Taiwan but in fact is aimed at the United States, and the preparation is far beyond the scope of attacking aircraft carriers or satellites.”

Communist Chinese Defense Minister General Chi Haotian speech about killing two hundred million Americans is listed, in its entirety, below, so how can Biden keep telling the American people the United States is in peaceful competition with Communist China?

The Secret Speech of Communist Chinese General Chi Haotian

Comrades,

I’m very excited today, because the large-scale online survey sina.com that was done for us showed that our next generation is quite promising and our party’s cause will be carried on. In answering the question, “Will you shoot at women, children and prisoners of war,” more than 80 percent of the respondents answered in the affirmative, exceeding by far our expectations.

Today I’d like to focus on why we asked sina.com to conduct this online survey among our people. My speech today is a sequel to my speech last time, during which I started with a discussion of the issue of the three islands, [where I] mentioned that 20 years of the idyllic theme of “peace and development” had come to an end, and concluded that modernization under the saber is the only option for China’s next phase. I also mention we have a vital stake overseas. Today, I’ll speak more specifically on these two issues.

The central issue of this survey appears to be whether one should shoot at women, children and prisoners of war, but its real significance goes far beyond that. Ostensibly, our intention is mainly to figure out what the Chinese people’s attitude toward war is: If these future soldiers do not hesitate to kill even non-combatants, they’ll naturally be doubly ready and ruthless in killing combatants. Therefore, the responses to the survey questions may reflect the general attitude people have towards war.

Actually, however, this is not our genuine intention. The purpose of the CCP Central Committee in conducting this survey is to probe people’s minds. We wanted to know: If China’s global development will necessitate massive deaths in enemy countries, will our people endorse that scenario? Will they be for or against it?

As everybody knows, the essence of Comrade Xiaoping’s thinking is “development is the hard truth.” And Comrade Jintao, has also pointed out repeatedly and emphatically that “development is our top priority,” which should not be neglected for even a moment. But many comrades tend to understand “development” in its narrow sense, assuming it to be limited to domestic development. The fact is, our “development” refers to the great revitalization of the Chinese nation, which, of course, is not limited to the land we have now but also includes the whole world.

Why do I put it this way?

Both Comrade Liu Huaquing, one of the leaders of the old generation in our Party, and Comrade He Xin, a young strategist of our Party, have repeatedly stressed the theory regarding the shift of the center of World Civilization. Our slogan of “revitalizing China” has this way of thinking as its basis. You may look into the newspapers and magazines published in recent years or go online to do some research to find out who raised the slogan of national revitalization first. It was Comrade He Xin. Do you know who He Xin is? He may look aggressive and despicable when he speaks in public, with his sleeves and pants all rolled up, but his historical vision is a treasure our Party should cherish.

In discussing this issue, let us start from the beginning.

As everybody knows, according to the views propagated by Western scholars, humanity as a whole originated from one single mother in Africa. Therefore, no race can claim racial superiority. However, according to the research conducted by most Chinese scholars, the Chinese are different from other races on earth. We did not originate in Africa. Instead, we originated independently in the land of China. The Peking Man at Zhoukoudian that we are all familiar with represents a phase of our ancestors’ evolution. “The Project of Searching for the Origins of the Chinese Civilization” currently undertaken in our country is aimed at a more comprehensive and systematic research on the origin, process and development of the ancient Chinese civilization. We use to say, “Chinese civilization has had a history of five thousand years.” But now, many experts engaged in research in varied fields including archeology, ethnic cultures, and regional cultures have reached consensus that the new discoveries such as the Hongshan Culture in the northeast, the Liangahn Culture in Zhejiang province, the Jinsha Ruins in Sichuan province, and the Yongzhou Shun Emperor Cultural Site in Hunan province are all compelling evidence of the existence of China’s early civilizations, and they prove that China’s rice-growing agricultural history alone can be traced back as far as 8,000 to 10,000 years. This refutes the concept of “five thousand years of Chinese civilization.”

Therefore, we can assert that we are the product of cultural roots of more than a million years, and a single Chinese entity of two thousand years. This is the Chinese entity of two thousand years. This is the Chinese nation that calls itself, “descendants of Yan and Huang,” the Chinese nation that we are so proud of. Hitler’s Germany had once bragged that the German race was the most superior race on earth, but the fact is, our nation is far superior to the Germans.

During our long history, our people have disseminated throughout the Americas and the regions along the Pacific Rim, and they became Indians in the Americas and the East Asian ethnic groups in the South Pacific.

We all know that on account of our national superiority, during the thriving and prosperous Tang Dynasty our civilization was at the peak of the world. We were the center of the world civilization, and no other civilization in the world was comparable to ours. Later on, because of our complacency, narrow-mindedness, and the self-enclosure of our own country, we were surpassed by Western civilization, and the center of the world shifted to the West.

In reviewing history, one may ask: Will the center of the world civilization shift back to China?

Comrade He Xin put it in his report to the Central Committee in 1988: If the fact is that the center of leadership of the world was located in Europe as of the 18th Century, and later shifted to the United States in the mid-20th century the center of leadership of the world will shift to the East of our planet. And, “the East” of course mainly refers to China.

Actually, Comrade Lui Huaquing made similar points in the 1980s. Based on an historical analysis, he pointed out that the center of world civilization is shifting. It shifted from the East to Western Europe and later to the United States; now it is shifting back to the East. Therefore, if we refer to the 19th century as the British century, and the 20th century as the American century, then the 21st century will be the Chinese century.

To understand conscientiously this historical law and to greet the advent of the Chinese Century is the historical mission of our Party. As we all know, at the end of the last century, we built the Altar to the Chinese Century in Beijing.

At the very moment of the arrival of the new millennium, the collective leadership of the Party Central Committee gathered there for a rally, upholding the torches of Zhoukoudian, to pledge themselves to get ready to greet the arrival of the Chinese Century. We were doing this to follow the historical law and setting the realization of the Chinese century as the goal of our Party’s endeavors.

Later, in the political report of our Party’s Sixteenth National Congress, we established that national revitalization should be our great objective and explicitly specified in our new Party Constitution that our Party is the pioneer of the Chinese people. All these steps marked a major development in Marxism, reflecting our Party’s courage and wisdom. As we all know, Marx and his followers have never referred to any communist party as a pioneer of a certain people; neither did they say that national revitalization could be used as a slogan of a communist party. Even Comrade Mao Zedong, a courageous national hero, only raised high the banner of “the global proletarian revolution,” but even he did not have the courage to give the loudest publicity to the slogan of national revitalization.

We must greet the arrival of the Chinese Century by raising high the banner of national revitalization. How should we fight for the realization of the Chinese Century? We must borrow the precious experiences in human history by taking advantage of the outstanding fruition of human civilization and drawing lessons from what happened to other ethnic groups.

The lessons include the collapse of communism in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, as well as the defeats of Germany and Japan in the past. Recently there has been much discussion of the lessons of the collapse of communism in the former Soviet Union and Eastern European countries, so I will not dwell on them here. Today I’d like to talk about the lessons of Germany and Japan.

As we all know, Nazi Germany also placed much emphasis on the education of the people, especially the younger generation. The Nazi Party and government organized and established various propaganda and educational institutions such as the “Guiding Bureau of National Propaganda,” “Department of National Education and Propaganda,” “Supervising Bureau of Worldview Study and Education,” and “Information Office,” all aimed at instilling into the people’s minds, from elementary schools to colleges, the idea that German people are superior, and convincing people that the historical mission of the Aryan people is to become the “lords of the earth” whose right it is to “rule over the world.” Back then the German people were much more united than we are today.

Nonetheless, Germany was defeated in utter shame, along with its ally, Japan. Why? We reached some conclusions at the study meetings of the Politburo, in which we were searching for the laws that governed the vicissitudes of the big powers, and trying to analyze Germany and Japan’s rapid growth. When we decide to revitalize based on the German model, we must not repeat the mistakes they made.

Specifically, the following are the fundamental causes for their defeat: First, they had too many enemies all at once, as they did not adhere to the principle of eliminating enemies one at a time; second, they were too impetuous, lacking the patience and perseverance required for great accomplishments; third, when the time came for them to be ruthless, they turned out to be too soft, therefore leaving troubles that resurfaced later on.

Let’s presume that back then Germany and Japan had been able to keep the United States neutral and had fought a protracted war step by step on the Soviet front. If they had adopted this approach, gained some time to advance their research, eventually succeeded in obtaining the technology of nuclear weapons and missiles, and launched surprise attacks against the United States and the Soviet Union using them, then the United States and the Soviet Union would not have been able to defend themselves and would have had to surrender. Little Japan, in particular, made an egregious mistake in launching the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. This attack did not hit the vital parts of the United States. Instead, it dragged the United States into the war, into the ranks of the gravediggers that eventually buried the German and Japanese fascists.

Of course, if they had not made these three mistakes and won the war, history would have been written in a different fashion. If that had been the case, China would not be in our hands. Japan might have relocated their capital to China and ruled over China. Afterwards, China and the whole of Asia under Japan’s command would have brought into full play the oriental wisdom, conquered the West ruled by Germany and unified the whole world. This is irrelevant, of course. No more digressions.

So, the fundamental reason for the defeats of Germany and Japan is that history did not arrange them to be the “lords of the earth,” for they are, after all, not the most superior race.

Ostensibly, in comparison, today’s China is alarmingly similar to Germany back then. Both of them regard themselves as the most superior races; both of them have a history of being exploited by foreign powers and are therefore vindictive; both of them have the tradition of worshipping their own authorities; both of them feel that they have seriously insufficient living space; both of them raise high the two banners of nationalism and socialism and label themselves as “national socialism”; both of them worship “one state, one party, one leader, and one doctrine.”

And yet, if we really are to make a comparison between Germany and China, then, as Comrade Jiang Zemin put it, Germany belongs to “pediatrics” – too trivial to be compared. How large is Germany’s population? How big is its territory? And how long is its history? We eliminated eight million nationalist troops in only three years. How many enemies did Germany kill? They were in power for a transient period of little more than a dozen years before they perished, while we are still energetic after being around for more than eighty years. Our theory of the shifting center of civilization is of course more profound than Hitler’s theory of “the lords of the earth.” Our civilization is profound and broad, which has determined that we are so much wiser than they were.

Our Chinese people are wiser than the Germans because, fundamentally, our race is superior to theirs. As a result, we have a longer history, more people, and larger land area. On this basis our ancestors left us with the two most essential heritages, which are atheism and great unity. It was Confucius, the founder of our Chinese culture, who gave us these heritages.

This heritage determined that we have a stronger ability to survive than the West. That is why the Chinese race has been able to prosper for so long. We are destined “not to be buried by either heaven or earth” no matter how severe the natural, man-made, and national disasters. This is our advantage.

Take response to war as an example. The reason that the United States remains today is that it has never seen war on its mainland. Once its enemies aim at the mainland, these enemies would reach Washington before its congress finishes debating and authorizes the president to declare war. But for us, we don’t waste time on these trivial things. Comrade Deng Xiaoping once said, “The Party’s leadership is prompt in making decisions. Once a decision is made, it is immediately implemented. There’s no wasting time on trivial things like in capitalist countries. This is our advantage! Our Party’s democratic centralism is built on the tradition of great unity. Although fascist Germany also stressed high-level centralism, they only focused on power of the top leader, but ignored the collective leadership of the central group. That’s why Hitler was betrayed by many later in his life, which fundamentally depleted the Nazis of their war capacity.

What makes us different from Germany is that we are complete atheists, while Germany was primarily a Catholic and Protestant country. Hitler was only half atheist. Although Hitler also believed that ordinary citizens had low intelligence, and that leaders should therefore make decisions, and although German people worshipped Hitler back then, Germany did not have the tradition of worshipping sages on a broad basis. Our Chinese society has always worshipped sages, and that is because we don’t worship any God. Once you worship a god, you can’t worship a person at the same time, unless you recognize the person as the god’s representative like they do in Middle Eastern countries. On the other hand, once you recognize a person as a sage, of course you will want him to be your leader…. This is the foundation of our democratic centralism.

The bottom line is, only China is a reliable force in resisting the Western parliament-based democratic system. Hitler’s dictatorship in Germany was perhaps but a momentary mistake in history.

Maybe you have now come to understand why we recently decided to further promulgate atheism. If we let theology from the West into China and empty us from the inside, if we let all Chinese people listen to God and follow God, who will obediently listen to us and follow us? If the common people don’t believe Comrade Hu Jintao is a qualified leader, question his authority, and want to monitor him, if the religious followers in our society question why we are leaving God in churches, can our Party continue to rule China?

Germany’s dream to be the “lord of the earth” failed, because ultimately, history did not bestow this great mission upon them. But the three lessons Germany learned from experience are what we ought to remember as we complete our historic mission and revitalize our race. The three lessons are: Firmly grasp the country’s living space; firmly grasp the Party’s control over the nation; and firmly grasp the general direction toward becoming the “lord of the earth.”

Next, I’d like to address these three issues.

The first issue is living space. This is the biggest focus of the revitalization of the Chinese race. In my last speech, I said that the fight over basic living resources (including land and ocean) is the source of the vast majority of wars in history. This may change in the information age, but not fundamentally. Our per capita resources are much less than those of Germany’s back then. In addition, economic development in the last twenty-plus years had a negative impact, and climates are rapidly changing for the worse. Our resources are in very short supply. The environment is severely polluted, especially that of soil, water, and air. Not only our ability to sustain and develop our race, but even its survival is gravely threatened, to a degree much greater than faced by Germany back then.

Anybody who has been to Western countries knows that their living space is much better than ours. They have forests alongside the highways, while we hardly have any trees by our streets. Their sky is often blue with white clouds, while our sky is covered by a layer of dark haze. Their tap water is clean enough for drinking, while even our ground water is so polluted that it can’t be drunk without filtering. They have few people in the streets, and two or three people can occupy a small residential building; in contrast, our streets are always crawling with people, and several people have to share one room.

Many years ago, there was a book titled Yellow Catastrophes. It said that, due to our following the American style of consumption, our limited resources would not long support the population and society would collapse, once our population reaches 1.3 billion. Now our population has already exceeded this limit, and we are now relying on imports to sustain our nation. It’s not that we haven’t paid attention to this issue. The Ministry of Land Resources is specialized in this issue.

But the term ‘living space’ (lebensraum) is too closely related to Nazi Germany. The reason we don’t want to discuss this too openly is to avoid the West’s association of us with Nazi Germany, which could in turn reinforce the view that China is a threat. Therefore, in our emphasis on He Xin’s new theory, “Human rights are just living rights,” we only talk about “living,” but not “space,” so as to avoid using the term “living space.” From the perspective of history, the reason that China is faced with the issue of living space is because Western countries established colonies ahead of Eastern countries. Western countries established colonies all around the world, therefore giving themselves an advantage on the issue of living space. To solve this problem, we must lead the Chinese people outside of China, so that they could develop outside of China.

The second issue is our focus on the leadership capacity of the ruling party. We’ve done better on this than their party. Although the Nazis spread their power to every aspect of the German national government, they did not stress their absolute leadership position like we have. They did not take the issue of managing the power of the party as first priority, which we have. When Comrade Mao Zedong summarized the “three treasures” of our party’s victory in conquering the country, he considered the most important “treasure” to be developing the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and strengthening its leadership position.

We have to focus on two points to fortify our leadership position and improve our leadership capacity.

The first is to promote the “Three Represents” theory, stressing that our Party is the pioneer of the Chinese race, in addition to being the pioneer of the proletariat. Many citizens say in private, “We never voted for you, the Communist Party, to represent us. How can you claim to be our representatives?”

There’s no need to worry about this issue. Comrade Mao Zedong said that if we could lead the Chinese people outside of China, resolving the lack of living space in China, the Chinese people will support us. At that time, we don’t’ have to worry about the labels of “totalitarianism” or “dictatorship.” Whether we can forever represent the Chinese people depends on whether we can succeed in leading the Chinese people out of China.

The second point, whether we can lead the Chinese people out of China, is the most important determinant of the CCP’s leadership position.

Why do I say this?

Everyone knows that without the leadership of our Party, China would not exist today. Therefore, our highest principle is to forever protect our Party’s leadership position. Before June 4, we realized vaguely that as long as China’s economy is developed, people would support and love the Communist Party. Therefore we had to use several decades of peacetime to develop China’s economy. No matter what-isms, whether it is a white cat or a black at, it is a good cat if it can develop China’s economy. But at that time, we did not have mature ideas about how China would deal with international disputes after its economy becomes developed.

Comrade Xiaoping said then that the main themes in the world were peace and development. But the June 4 riot gave our Party a warning and gave us a lesson that is still fresh.

The pressure of China’s peaceful evolution makes us reconsider of these two main themes of our time. We see that neither of these two issues, peace and development, have been resolved. The western oppositional forces always change the world according to their own visions; they want to change China and use peaceful evolution to overturn the leadership of our Communist Party. Therefore, if we only develop the economy, we still face the possibility of losing control.

The June 4 riot almost succeeded in bringing a peaceful transition; if it were not for the fact that a large number of veteran comrades were still alive and at a crucial moment they removed Zhao Ziyang and his followers, then we all would have been put in prison. After death we would have been too ashamed to report to Marx. Although we have passed the test of June 4, after our group of senior comrades pass away, without our control, peaceful evolution may still come to China like it did to the former Soviet Union. In 1956, they suppressed the Hungarian incident and defeated the attacks by Tito’s revisionists of Yugoslavia, but they could not withstand Gorbachev thirty some years later. Once those pioneering senior comrades died, the power of the Communist Party was taken away by peaceful evolution.

After the June 4 riot was suppressed, we have been thinking about how to prevent China from peaceful evolution and how to maintain the Communist Party’s leadership. We thought it over and over but did not come up with any good ideas. If we do not have good ideas, China will inevitably change peacefully, and we will all become criminals in history. After some deep pondering, we finally come to this conclusion: Only by turning our developed national strength into the force of a first striking outward – only by leading people to go out – can we win forever the Chinese people’s support and love for the Communist Party. Our party will then stand on invincible ground, and the Chinese people will have to depend on the Communist Party. They will forever follow the Communist Party with their hearts and minds, as was written in a couplet frequently seen in the countryside some years ago: “Listen to Chairman Mao, follow the Communist Party!” Therefore, the June 4 riot made us realize that we must combine economic development with preparation for war and leading the people to go out! Therefore, since then, our national defense policy has taken a 180 degree turn and we have since emphasized more and more “combining peace and war.” Our economic development is all about preparing for the needs of war! Publicly we still emphasize economic development as our center, but in reality, economic development has war as its center! We have made a tremendous effort to construct “The Great Wall Project” to build up, along our coastal and land frontiers as well as around large and medium-sized cities, a solid underground “Great Wall” that can withstand a nuclear war. We are also storing all necessary war materials. Therefore, we will not hesitate to fight a Third World War, so as to lead the people to go out and to ensure the Party’s leadership position. In any event, we, the CCP, will never step down from the stage of history! We’d rather have the whole world, or even the entire globe, share life and death with us than step down from the stage of history! Isn’t there a “nuclear bondage” theory? It means that since nuclear weapons have bound the security of the entire world, all will die together if death is inevitable. In my view, there is another kind of bondage, and that is, the fate of our Party is tied up with that of the whole world. If we, the CCP, are finished, China will be finished, and the world will be finished.

Our Party’s historical mission is to lead the Chinese people to go out. If we take the long view, we will see that history led us on this path. First, China’s long history has resulted in the world’s largest population, including Chinese in China as well as overseas. Second, once we open our doors, the profit-seeking western capitalists will invest capital and technology in China to assist our development, so that they can occupy the biggest market in the world. Third, our numerous overseas Chinese help us create the most favorable environment for the introduction of foreign capital, foreign technology, and advanced experience into China. Thus, it is guaranteed that our reform and open-door policy will achieve tremendous success. Fourth, China’s great economic expansion will inevitably lead to the shrinkage of per-capita living space for the Chinese people, and this will encourage China to turn outward in search for new living space. Fifth, China’s great economic expansion will inevitably come with significant development in our military forces, creating conditions for our expansion overseas. Ever since Napoleon’s time, the West has been alert for the possible awakening of the sleeping lion that is China. Now, the sleeping lion is standing up and advancing into the world, and has become unstoppable!

What is the third issue we should clinch firmly in order to accomplish our historical mission of national renaissance? It is to hold firmly onto the big “issue of America.”

This appears to be shocking, but the logic is actually very simple.

Comrade He Xin put forward a very fundamental judgment that is very reasonable. He asserted in his report to the Party Central Committee: The renaissance of China is in fundamental conflict with the Western strategic interest, and therefore will inevitably be obstructed by the western countries doing everything they can. So, Only by breaking the blockade formed by the western countries headed by the United States can China grow and move toward the world!

Would the United States allow us to go out to gain new living space? First, if the United States is firm in blocking us, it is hard for us to do anything significant to Taiwan, Vietnam, India, or even Japan, [so] how much more living space can we get? Very trivial! Only countries like the United States, Canada and Australia have the vast land to serve our need for mass colonization.

Therefore, solving the “issue of America” is the key to solving all other issues. First, this makes it possible for us to have many people migrate there and even establish another China under the same leadership of the CCP. America was originally discovered by the ancestors of the yellow race, but Columbus gave credit to the white race. We the descendants of the Chinese nation are entitled to the possession of the land! It is said that the residents of the yellow race have a very low social status in the United States. We need to liberate them. Second, after solving the “issue of America,” the western countries of Europe would bow to us, not to mention Taiwan, Japan and other small countries. Therefore, solving the “issue of America” is the mission assigned to the CCP members by history.

I sometimes think how cruel it is for China and the United States to be enemies that are bound to meet on a narrow road! Do you remember a movie about Liberation Army Troops led by Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping? The title is something like “Decisive Battle on the Central Plains.” There is a famous remark in the movie that is full of power and grandeur: “The enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road, only the brave will win!” It is this kind of fighting to win or die spirit that enabled us to seize power in Mainland China. It is historical destiny that China and the United States will come to unavoidable confrontation on a narrow path and fight each other! The United States, unlike Russia and Japan, has never occupied and hurt China, and also assisted China in its battle against the Japanese. But, it will certainly be an obstruction, and the biggest obstruction! In the long run, the relationship of China and the United States is one of a life-and-death struggle.

One time, some Americans came to visit and tried to convince us that the relationship between China and the United States is one of interdependence. Comrade Xiaoping replied in a polite manner: “Go tell your government, China and the United States do not have such a relationship that is interdependent and mutually reliant.” Actually, Comrade Xiaoping was being too polite, he could have been more frank, “The relationship between China and the United States is one of life-and-death struggle.” Of course, right now it is not the time to openly break up with them yet. Our reform and opening to the outside world still rely on their capital and technology, we still need America. Therefore, we must do everything we can to promote our relationship with America, learn from America in all aspects and use America as an example to reconstruct our country.

How have we managed our foreign affairs in these years? Even if we had to put on a smiling face in order to please them, even if we have to give them the right cheek after they had hit our left cheek, we still must endure in order to further our relationship with the United States. Do you remember the character of Wuxun in the movie the “Story of Wuxun”? In order to accomplish his mission, he endured so much pain and suffered so much beating and kicking! The United States is the most successful country in the world today. Only after we have learned all of its useful experiences can we replace it in the future. Even though we are presently imitating the American tone “China and the United States rely on each other and share honor and disgrace,” we must not forget that the history of our civilization repeatedly has taught us that one mountain does not allow two tigers to live together.

We also must never forget what Comrade Xiaoping emphasized: “Refrain from revealing ambitions and put others off the track.” The hidden message is: we must put up with America; we must conceal our ultimate goals, hide our capabilities, and await the opportunity. In this way, our mind is clear. Why have we not updated our national anthem with something peaceful? Why did we not change the anthem’s theme of war? Instead, when revising the Constitution this time, for the first time we clearly specified “March of the Volunteers” is our national anthem. Thus we will understand why we constantly talk loudly about the “Taiwan issue” but not the “American issue.” We all know the principle of “doing one thing under the cover of another.” If ordinary people can only see the small island of Taiwan in their eyes, then you as the elite of our country should be able to see the whole picture of our cause. Over these years, according to Comrade Xiaoping’s arrangement, a large piece of our territory in the North has been given up to Russia; do you really think our Party Committee is a fool?

To resolve the issue of America we must be able to transcend conventions and restrictions. In history, when a country defeated another country or occupied another country, it could not kill all the people in the conquered land because back then you could not kill people effectively with sabers or long spears, or even with rifles or machine guns. Therefore, it was impossible to gain a stretch of land without keeping the people on that land. However, if we conquered America in this fashion, we would not be able to make many people migrate there.

Only by using special means to “clean up” America will we be able to lead the Chinese people there. This is the only choice left for us. This is not a matter of whether we are willing to do it or not. What kind of special means is there available for us to “clean up America”?

Conventional weapons such as fighters, canons, missiles and battleships won’t do; neither will highly destructive weapons such as nuclear weapons. We are not as foolish as to want to perish together with America by using nuclear weapons, despite the fact that we have been exclaiming that we will have the Taiwan issue resolved at whatever cost. Only by using non-destructive weapons that can kill many people will we be able to reserve America for ourselves. There has been rapid development of modern biological technology, and new bio-weapons have been invented one after another. Of course, we have not been idle, in the past years we have seized the opportunity to master weapons of this kind. We are capable of achieving our purpose of “cleaning up” America all of a sudden. When Comrade Xiaoping was still with us, the Party Central Committee had the perspicacity to make the right decision not to develop aircraft carrier groups and focus instead on developing lethal weapons that can eliminate mass populations of the enemy country.

From a humanitarian perspective, we should issue a warning to the American people and persuade them to leave America and leave the land they have lived in to the Chinese people. Or at least they should leave half of the United States to be China’s colony, because America was first discovered by the Chinese. But would this work? If this strategy does not work, then there is only one choice left to us. That is, use decisive means to “clean up” America and reserve America for our use in a moment. Our historical experience has proven that as long as we make it happen, nobody in the world can do anything about us. Furthermore, if the United States as the leader is gone, then other enemies have to surrender to us.

Biological weapons are unprecedented in their ruthlessness, but if the Americans do not die then the Chinese have to die. If the Chinese people are strapped to the present land, a total societal collapse is bound to take place. According to the computation of the author of Yellow Peril, more than half of the Chinese will die, and that figure would be more than 800 million people! Just after the liberation, our yellow land supported nearly 500 million people, while today the official figure of the population is more than 1.3 billion. This yellow land has reached the limit of its capacity. One day, who knows how soon it will come, the great collapse will occur any time and more than half the population will have to go.

We must prepare ourselves for two scenarios. If our biological weapons succeed in the surprise attack, the Chinese people will be able to keep their losses at a minimum in the fight against the United States. If, however, the attack fails and triggers a nuclear retaliation from the United States, China would perhaps suffer a catastrophe in which more than half of its population would perish. That is why we need to be ready with air defense systems for our big and medium-sized cities. Whatever the case may be, we can only move forward fearlessly, for the sake of our Party and State and our nation’s future, regardless of the hardships we have to face and the sacrifices we have to make. The population, even if more than half dies, can be reproduced. But if the Party falls, everything is gone, and forever gone.

In Chinese history, in the replacement of dynasties, the ruthless have always won and the benevolent have always failed. The most typical example involved Xiang Yu the King of Chu, who, after defeating Liu Bang, failed to continue to chase after him and eliminate his forces, and his leniency resulted in Xiang Yu’s death and Liu’s victory …. Therefore, we must emphasize the importance of adopting resolute measures. In the future, the two rivals, China and the United States, will eventually meet each other in a narrow road, and our leniency to the Americans will mean cruelty toward the Chinese people. Here some people may want to ask me: What about the several millions of our compatriots in the United States? They may ask: aren’t we against Chinese killing other Chinese?

These comrades are too pedantic; they are not pragmatic enough. If we had insisted on the principle that the Chinese should not kill other Chinese, would we have liberated China? As for the several million Chinese living in the United States, this is of course a big issue. Therefore, in recent years, we have been conducting research on genetic weapons, i.e., those weapons that do not kill yellow people. But producing a result with this kind of research is extremely difficult.

Of the research done on genetic weapons throughout the world, Israel is the most advanced. Their genetic weapons are designed to target Arabs and protect the Israelis. But even they have not reached the stage of actual deployment. We have cooperated with Israel on some research. Perhaps we can introduce some of the technologies used to protect Israelis and remold these technologies to protect the yellow people. But their technologies are not mature yet, and it is difficult for us to surpass them in a few years. If it has to be five or ten years before some breakthrough can be achieved in genetic weapons, we cannot afford to wait any longer.

Old comrades like us cannot afford to wait that long, for we don’t have that much time to live. Old soldiers of my age may be able to wait for five or ten more years, but those from the period of the anti-Japanese War or the few old Red Army soldiers cannot wait any longer.

Therefore, we have to give up our expectations about genetic weapons. Of course, from another perspective, the majority of those Chinese living in the United States have become our burden, because they have been corrupted by the bourgeois liberal values for a long time and it would be difficult for them to accept our Party’s leadership. If they survived the war, we would have to launch campaigns in the future to deal with them, to reform them. Do you still remember that when we had just defeated the Kuomintang (KMT) and liberated Mainland China, so many people from the bourgeois class and intellectuals welcomed us so very warmly, but later we had to launch campaigns such as the “suppression of the reactionaries” and “Anti-Rightist Movement” to clean them up and reform them? Some of them were in hiding for a long time and were not exposed until the Cultural Revolution. History has proved that any social turmoil is likely to involve many deaths.

Maybe we can put it this way: death is the engine that moves history forward. During the period of the three kingdoms, how many people died? When Genghis Khan conquered Eurasia, how many people died? When Manchu invaded the interior of China, how many people died? Not many people died during the 1911 Revolution, but when we overthrew the Three Great Mountains, and during the political campaigns such as “suppression of the reactionaries,” “Three-Anti-Campaign,” and “Five-Anti-Campaign,” at least 20 million people died. We were apprehensive that some young people today would be trembling with fear when they hear about wars and people dying.

During wartime, we were used to seeing dead people. Blood and flesh were flying everywhere, corpses were lying in heaps on the fields, and blood ran like rivers. We saw it all. On the battlefields, everybody’s eyes turned red with killing because it was a life-and-death struggle and only the brave would survive.

It is indeed brutal to kill one or two hundred million Americans. But that is the only path that will secure a Chinese century in which the CCP leads the world. We, as revolutionary humanitarians, do not want deaths. But if history confronts us with a choice between deaths of Chinese and those of Americans, we’d have to pick the latter, as, for us, it is more important to safeguard the lives of the Chinese people and the life of our Party. That is because, after all, we are Chinese and members of the CCP. Since the day we joined the CCP, the Party, life has always been above all else! History will prove that we made the right choice.

Now, when I am about to finish my speech, you probably understand why we wanted to know, whether the people would rise against us if one day we secretly adopt resolute means to “clean up” America. For over twenty years, China has been enjoying peace, and a whole generation has not been tested by war. In particular, since the end of World War II, there have been many changes in the formats of war, the concept of war and the ethics of war. Especially since the collapse of the former Soviet Union and Eastern European Communist states, the ideology of the West has come to dominate the world as a whole, and the Western theory of human nature and western view of human rights have increasingly been disseminated among the young people in China. Therefore, we were not very sure about the people’s attitude. If our people are fundamentally opposed to “cleaning up” America, we will, of course, have to adopt corresponding measures.

Why didn’t we conduct the survey through administrative means instead of through the web? We did what we did for a good reason.

First of all, we did it to reduce artificial inference and to make sure that we got the true thoughts of the people. In addition, it is more confidential and won’t reveal the true purpose of our survey. But what is most important is the fact that most of the people who are able to respond to the questions online are from social groups that are relatively well-educated and intelligent. They are the hard-core and leading groups that play a decisive role among our people. If they support us, then the people as a whole will follow us. If they oppose us, they will play the dangerous role of inciting people and creating social disturbance.

What turned out to be very comforting is they did not turn in a blank test paper. In fact, they turned in a test paper with a score of over 80. This is the excellent fruition of our Party’s work in propaganda and education over the past few decades.

Of course, a few people under western influence have objected to shooting at prisoners of war and women and children. Is everybody crazy? Some others said, “The Chinese love to label themselves as a peace-loving people, but actually they are the most ruthless people. The comments are resonant of killing and murdering, sending chills to my heart.”

Although there are not too many people holding this kind of viewpoint and they will not affect the overall situation in any significant way, but we still need to strengthen the propaganda to respond to this kind of argument.

That is to vigorously propagate Comrade He Xin’s latest article, which has already been reported to the central government. You may look it up on the website.

If you get on the website using key words to search, you will find out that a while ago comrade He Xin pointed out to the Hong Kong Business News during an interview that: “The U.S. has a shocking conspiracy.” According to what he had in hand, from September 27 to October 1, 1995, the Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev Foundation, funded by the United States, gathered 500 of the world’s most important statesmen, economic leaders and scientists, including George W. Bush (he was not the U.S. president at the time), the Baroness Thatcher, Tony Blair, Zbigniew Brzezinski, as well as George Soros, Bill Gates, futurist John Nesbitt, etc., all of the world’s most popular characters, in the San Francisco Fairmont hotel for a high-level roundtable conference, discussing problems about globalization and how to guide humanity to move forward into the 21st century. According to what He Xin had in hand, the outstanding people of the world in attendance thought that in the 21st century a mere 20 percent of the world’s population will be sufficient to maintain the world’s economy and prosperity, the other 80 percent or 4/5ths of the world’s population will be human garbage unable to produce new values. The people in attendance thought that this excess 80 percent population would be a trash population and “high-tech” means should be used to eliminate them gradually.

Since the enemies are secretly planning to eliminate our population, we certainly cannot be infinitely merciful and compassionate to them. Comrade He Xin’s article came out at the right time, it has proven the correctness of our tit for tat battle approach … [and] Comrade Deng Xiaoping’s great foresight to deploy against the United States military strategy.

Certainly, in spreading Comrade He Xin’s views, we cannot publish the article in the Party newspapers, in order to avoid raising the enemy’s vigilance. He Xin’s conversation may remind the enemy that we have grasped the modern science and technology, including “clean” nuclear technology as well as biological weapons technology, and we can use powerful measures to eliminate their population on a large scale.

The last problem I want to talk about is of firmly seizing the preparations for military battle.

Currently, we are at the crossroad of moving forward or backward. Some comrades saw problems flooding everywhere in our country – the corruption problem, the state-owned enterprise problem, the bank’s bad accounts problem, environmental problems, society security problems, education problems, the AIDS problem, various appeals problems, even the riots problem. These comrades vacillated in the determination to prepare for military battles. They thought: they should first grab the political reform problem, that is, our own political reform comes first. After resolving the domestic problems, we can then deal with the foreign military battle problem.

This reminds me of the crucial period in 1948 in the Chinese Revolution. At that time the People’s Liberation Army’s “horses were drinking water” in the Yangtze River, but they faced extremely complex situations and difficult problems everywhere in the liberated areas, and the central authority received emergency reports daily. What to do? Should we stop to manage rear areas and internal matters first before moving forward, or press on to pass the Yangtze River with one vigorous effort? Chairman Mao, with his extraordinary wisdom and mettle gave the marching order “Carry on the revolution to the end,” and liberated all of China. The previously thought “serious” conflicting problems were all resolved in this great forward moving revolutionary wave.

Now, it seems like we are in the same critical period as the “horses were drinking water” in the Yangtze River days in the revolutionary era, as long as we resolve the United States problem at one blow, our domestic problems will all be readily solved. Therefore, our military battle preparation appears to aim at Taiwan but in fact is aimed at the United States, and the preparation is far beyond the scope of attacking aircraft carriers or satellites.

Marxism pointed out that violence is the midwife for the birth of China’s century. As war approaches, I am full of hope for our next generation.

Op-Ed # 609 US Dollar May Lose Its Status As The World’s Reserve Currency

By Capt Joseph R. John, March 3, 2023 

In a survey three months ago, within an ongoing project conducted annually for nine years by Chapman University, the top 95 fears of Americans adults were analyzed, two of the top 10 fears in the survey that 53.7 % of those surveyed, reported they were concerned that they would not have enough money for future expenses, and were concerned of the possibility of economic and financial collapse because of the highest inflation rate in 40 years.  The massive $30 Trillion+ in US debt that various administrations have created over the last fourteen years, and the restriction in the development of oil by the current administration, discussed in more detail in this Op Ed, are what is fueling the steady increase in inflation?

The entire US economy is based upon the delivery of construction material, food products, fuel, steel, lumber, and items for retail sales, and transporting the cargo by diesel big rig trucks, air transport, ships, and railroads that are all fueled by oil; when fuel prices increase, the price of all items delivered increases.  Over the last two years, the Biden/Obama administration has passed restrictive anti-oil regulations preventing American business, and the American people from having access to the low cost fuel that once was so plentiful.  By closing down pipelines that deliver oil from Canada, preventing oil exploration and recovery, preventing the recovery of natural gas, and preventing the development of clean and safe nuclear energy, the Biden/Obama administration has been driving the cost of fuel up, and with-it inflation. 

Those actions by the Biden/Obama administration has resulted in the daily increases in the price of gas at the pump, driving the cost of products and services to skyrocket, which continues to fuel massive inflation. There is no feasible way that wind and solar energy that Socialist Democrats want Americans to use, to replace the energy created by coal fired plants, oil fired plants, by natural gas generation, or by nuclear energy, will ever happen. 

In a recent national poll of 1,000 American voters, conducted from February 17 to 22, 2023 by John McLaughlin, by a ratio of two to one, 60% of the American voters stated that the economy is getting worse; 33% disagreed.  Two-thirds of the voters, 65%, stated that the Bidenadministration has America on the wrong track; 30% stated it is going in the right direction.  Four in five of all the American voters, 79%, stated they have been negatively impacted by inflation, and 37% stated they are struggling to afford necessities.  Among all voters, 52% stated the economy is in recession, 60% among the undecided voters also stated the economy is in recession; 42% of voters disagreed

Amid the distractions caused by conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, Iran and Israel, and Communist China and Taiwan, supply shortages, the death of seven million people worldwide caused by Communist Chinese Virus, and the massive increasing inflation there has been a push for The Great Reset of the World Economy and restrictions on individual freedoms.  

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen took the stage at an event called COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland to address many of the world’s most powerful western national leaders, she called for world leaders to commit $150 trillion for the Global Transition to The Great Reset of the World Economy.  Bank of America, 695 of the world’s largest corporations, billionaires Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, George Soros, and Bill Gates, and the leaders of over 100 countries committed to invest in the transition, creating a world in economic uncertainty. 

The Biden/Obama administration signaled that they plan to raise Income Taxes, Death Taxes, Capital Gains Taxes, and Corporate Taxes, when those tax increases are taken with the massive inflation that is building, they will negatively affect the incomes of the families of hard working American taxpayers and contribute to the reduction of their retirement savings.  Over the last year, the major concerns of Americans has been how to protect and improve their wealth in the midst of pessimistic predictions of well-known and respected economists and financial experts, because of the coming tsunami of increasing inflation, the pending recession, and what effects they will have on their family’s savings, investments, and the value of the American Dollar.

Over the last two years, the Biden administration created an extremely poor relationship with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, by publicly calling Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman a murdering pariah.  That attack on the Crown Prince by Biden fractured 76 years of a very close relationship between 7 Kings of Saudi Arabia and 13 Presidents of the United States.  The attack on the Crown Prince by Biden was the impetus that drove the King Salman of Saudi Arabia to finally accept the payment for crude oil with currencies other than with the World’s Reserve Currency, US Dollars (Petrodollars).   

A major concern for western economies in Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Canada, the United States, etc. is whether the US Dollar will remain as the World’s Reserve Currency.   Since the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is no longer requiring the purchase of crude oil to be paid for by the World Reserve Currency, US Dollars (Petrodollars), Saudi Arabia, Russia, and Iran have been accepting payment for crude oil by the alternate currencies of the Russian Rubel and Communist China’s Juan.  

That recent developments has led to the concerns by world economies, that after 50 years of the US Dollar being the World Reserve Currency, that there may be a world monetary reset, with a new reserve currency backed by gold.  This had led to many countries and individuals investing in gold and silver as a hedge against a possible run on the American Dollar.  In a further attack on the US Dollar, to try to remove the US Dollar as the World’s Reserve Currency, Communist China recently launched the Shanghai-based “New Development Bank”, as a $500 billion rival to the International Monitory Fund (IMF) and the World Bank.

To further create uncertainty in the US Dollar, on November 15, 2022, the Federal Reserve (FED) announced they have the framework in place, and are now testing digital currencies, which is the ultimate Financial Censorship Tool; a digital currency would be nothing more than a computer code that is extremely vulnerable to theft, swindles, and illegal trades.  The FED is following Biden’s Executive Order #14067 and will join with 120 institutions and major banks like Citigroup, HSBC, Mastercard, and Wells Fargo to test the effects a digital currency will have on the US economy.  If the Biden/Obama administration, the Social Democrats, and Rinos in Congress vote to shifts to the “Digital Dollar”, it would negatively affect American voters freedoms, will affect civil liberties, eliminate privacy, reveal where Americans have their dollars, how many dollars each American has, what they are spending their dollars on, and would provide by computer print outs on those transactions for each American to the Federal Government and the IRS.   

The change in US Commercial Bank Regulations approved by the Biden/Obama administration, that recently eliminated the requirement for US Commercial Banks to retain 20% of deposited funds on hand to fulfill depositors demands, became of great concern to economists and financial experts because of the change that regulation created in the stability and conservatism of US Commercial Banks.  However, State Chartered Federal Credit Unions, remained much more conservative, and still require 20% of deposited funds to remain on hand to fulfill the demand of depositors.

Just what will occur in the future with all these issues facing our Republic and the World is anyone’s guess.  It seems logical, as in any environment, when taking the above information into consideration, it would prudent to diversify one’s asset base, to retain one’s wealth and savings.  Hard Assets like real estate, gold, and silver mentioned above would be a staple foranyone’s portfolio.  It would be important to make sure that the bank(s) where ones cash is deposited are not tied into risky derivatives, and that you have some liquidity in State Charted Federal Credit Unions, that have stricter and more conservative requirements than commercial banks at the present time.  

With the FED increasing interest rates every time they meet, which will likely continue throughout 2023, it is important to shop for the best rates in Money Markets, CD’s, and Annuities which have increased significantly in the last year.  A year ago, and for the last several decades, a One Million Dollar amount in those types of liquid assets, would likely bring in $10,000 in income annually.   Today, that same Million Dollars in well placed institutions, should bring in $60,000+ in income annually.  

With regard to Real Estate, and, in an effort to remain as a PASSIVE investor, without the burden of owning and having to manage properties, one could consider investing in a First Trust Deed Fund, managed by an experienced team of principals who have been making First Trust Deed and Real Estate Loans, successfully, for over 30 years.  Those First Trust Deeds are low loan to value, mainly short term (6 months to 18 months), that are secured by excellent, VALUE ADDED,  properties in areas where there is a shortage of housing (like Southern California, areas of Tennessee, Florida, etc.), and have applicants who are strong borrowers required to provide personal guarantees.  

In light of the above listed concerns, I have spent a great deal of time searching for such a First Trust Deed Fund in Southern California that meets the above listed criteria, and where there is a tremendous shortage of housing.  The main founder of the Fund has underwritten loans for over 30 years and the group of four General Partners have invested nearly $6 million, of the $47 million in the Fund’s total capital.  In the last 14 quarters, the Fund has paid over 8% Annualized and the latest quarter and year end it paid 8.54%.  

None of the loans made by the Fund have ever been foreclosed upon during that period.  Unlike stocks and bonds which fluctuate with various economic factors and changes in interest rates, this Fund has remained consistent in its rate of returns, likely between 8 and 9%.  While bonds are significantly losing their value with all these FED interest rate increases, this Fund is increasing its yield as bank financing dries up for these types of loans.  As to diversification, this type of Fund is one step up the liquidity ladder and will likely pay 3 to 4% more in rates than Money Markets, CD’s and Annuities, without a significant increase in investor risk.   

For full disclosure, I have made a significant investment in a First Trust Deed Fund, to preserve capital for my daughters, to avoid the possibility of dealing with Digital Dollars, in case the American Dollar is replaced as the World Reserve Currency creating instability in the American Dollar, and because the Biden administration’s economic policies will not correct upward spiral in inflation.  If you have an interest in investing in a First Trust Deed Fund, I will be pleased to provide you with contact information.  You can contact them on your own, and ask them to provide you with the type of Due Diligence package they sent me, that convinced me to invest to preserve my capital and avoid the coming tsunami of increasinginflation, and the recession predicted by a number of respected economists and financial experts.

Andy Schectman, President and Owner of Miles Franklin, discusses his thesis that the world is poised for a monetary reset which would result in the BRICS having their own reserve currency, likely backed by gold, and how this goes hand-in-hand with de-dollarization trends that are currently unfolding.  He tells Michelle Makori, Editor-in-Chief and Lead Anchor at Kitco News, how a “tsunami of inflation” would ensue, as dollars are repatriated to the United States, which would cause a corresponding “crash” in asset prices as interest rates rise accordingly.

Op Ed # 608 The Communist Chinese Spy Balloons Continue in Their Violation of US Sovereignty

By Capt Joseph R. John, February 18, 2023

US intelligence sources have reported that Communist China has been conducting High-Altitude Balloon and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Drone surveillance missions globally in many countries and areas of emerging strategic interest, including Japan, India, Vietnam, Taiwan, the Philippines, Turkey, Brazil, Europe, Canada, the United States, and many other countries. 
 

When Communist China sent a High-Altitude Spy Balloon to spy on Turkey, the Communist Chinese Balloon was tracked on its way into Turkish airspace by the Turkish Air Force, and 18 seconds after it crossed the Turkish border, it was shot down.

In an unprecedented National Security Threat, and an “Act of War” Communist Chinese High-Altitude Balloons, considered Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Offensive Weapons Platforms, were launched out of Hainan Province in Southern China by the People Liberation Army.  
Three follow on Chinese Communist High Altitude Balloons, (the Biden/Obama administration refuses to confirm they were from Communist China) were sent on dry runs to probe the US Air Defenses to test the US military responses to repeated surveillance incursions, and as dry runs in preparation for a future Chinese Communist small nuclear EMP Attack on the United States’ Electric Grid.  Out of an abundance of caution, we are classifying the three devices shot down over North America, as coming from Communist China.

Presidents Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Reagan, Bush I, Bush II, and Trump, would never have put up with four repeated violations of America’s sovereignty by a foreign country.  The above listed Presidents would have made a Presidential address to the nation soon after the January 28th incursion into Montana, and would have made another address to the nation on February 12th following the three additional violations of US sovereignty by Communist China.  

Those Communist Chinese high altitude spy balloons were serious threats to the survival of 20 US military facilities that were overflown in the United States.  The planned and repeated incursions into the United States began when the first balloon was launched from Hainan Province in the south of Communist China on January 21st.  US intelligence sources reported that the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) began tracking the balloon on January 21st, when it left Communist China.

Biden’s failure to act or even speak about the four incursions of US protected airspace, exposed the weakness of the leadership of the US in the Oval Office to Marxist Russia, Communist Cuba, the Islamic Terrorist Regime of Iran, Communist Venezuela, and Communist China.  The American public, the US Congress, and America’s allies want to know why the Biden/Obama administration has not criticized Communist China’s repeated violation of US sovereignty, and why Biden has not made any comment about the free fire zone in the skies above North America for the first time in history, for the last two weeks? 

The first balloon departed Communist China on January 21, 2023, and was consistently tracked for “two weeks” by the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and the U
S Air Force Northern Command.  For 7 days the High-Altitude Communist Chinese EMP Offensive Weapons Platform flew over the North Pacific Ocean, over the US Aleutian Islands, through Alaska, and south over Canada.  On January 28th, the Communist Chinese Balloon left Canada and entered the sparsely populated state of Montana.

From Montana, the Communist Chinese High-Altitude Balloon was then was permitted to traverse, spy on, gather electronic intelligence, and target the entire Continental United States by the Biden/Obama administration.  It went on to Wyoming, South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina, and North Carolina.  On February 4th, Communist Chinese High-Altitude Balloon flew out over the Atlantic Ocean, where it was shot down by an F-22A Raptor Tactical Fighter.  A map of the flight path of the Communist Chinese High-Altitude Balloon is posted at the bottom of this presentation.

At an altitude of 60,000 feet, the Communist Chinese High-Altitude Balloon’s sensors had the capability of collecting Top Secret intelligence from facilities hundreds of miles away on either side of its flight path, as it transited across the Continental United States.  Because the Communist Chinese High-Altitude Balloon carried such a massive payload, it was able to employ the latest powerful technology to scan hundreds of miles of ground.  The Communist Chinese High-Altitude Balloon had the ability to intercept information that was being transmitted technologically and digitally from US military bases, while being able to “pinpoint” and precisely target specific highly classified ICBM silos.

The below listed 20 US Military Bases were spied upon and targeted by the Communist Chinese High-Altitude Balloon, including three Top Secret Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Bases (where underground silos stretch across Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, and Nebraska), the Top Secret home of the Strategic Air Command, the Top-Secret B-IB Bomber Bases, the Top Secret Stealth Bomber Bases, and the Top Secret Oak Ridge Nuclear Weapons Facility, Fort Bragg-home of the Airborne and Special Operation Force, and Camp Lejeune-home of the II Marine Expeditionary Force, 2nd Marine Division.

Since that first entry of a Communist Chinese Balloon EMP Offensive Weapons Platform entered Montana on January 28th, NORAD announced the downing of three additional Chinese Communist “Devices” that were shot down in Alaska on February 10th, in the Yukon Territory of Canada on February 11th, and over Lake Huron adjacent to the State of Michigan on February 12th.  

 

It was reported by intelligent sources (that we cannot confirm), that a fifth Communist Chinese High-Altitude Balloon crashed off the coast of Hawaii four months ago, but that information was hidden from the American people by the Biden/Obama administration.  The Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has thus far failed to provide any details, “at all”, about what the three US F-22A Raptor Tactical Fighter pilots actually saw when they intercepted and shot down the last three devices, and refused to provide radar intercept tracks.   

 

The Biden/Obama administration have been well aware that Communist China’s military has been spying on and probing the US defenses on the ground and in the airspace above North America for the last two years, and knows that Communist China has been experimenting with High-Altitude Surveillance Balloons flights for penetration of North and South America air defenses since 2018.  Communist China’s potential High-Altitude Balloon for attack against the United States’ Electric Grid with a “small nuclear EMP” will most probably be launched from South America where US Air Force Air Defenses are not as robust as they are over North America.

Communist China’s state-owned television CCTV aired footage of a High-Altitude Balloon lifting three Hypersonic Glide Vehicles (HGVs) Weapons from the ground and then dropped those Hypersonic Glide Vehicle Weapons in a test in September 2018.  The stunning footage displays the High-Altitude Balloon, which is similar to the first Chinese Communist High-Altitude Balloon Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Offensive Weapon Platform, that traversed over the Continental United States from January 28 to February 4, 2023.  It had the capacity to carry three Hypersonic Glide Vehicles (HGVs) Weapons into high altitude, and had the ability to drop them on the United States.  That footage has since been deleted from Communist Chinese state-owned media, but photographs and short clips can still be found online. (NTD Andrew Thornebrooke, February 6, 2023)

HGVs are launched by rockets in a similar manner to traditional missiles.  Upon reaching orbit, however, HGVs detach from the rocket and fly through the atmosphere using their own momentum.  Such weapons are much faster than other missiles while they are in low orbit but become much slower upon hitting the dense air of the atmosphere as they have no jets to power them.  The High-Altitude Balloon dropped HGVs are part of a Communist China’s effort to develop precision warheads for hypersonic weapons, which would give the Communist Chinese military an “unstoppable nuclear-capable weapon,” according to the South China Morning Post. (NTD  Andrew Thornebrooke, February 6, 2023)

 

Paul Crespo, President of the Center for American Defense Studies, said that the (Communist Chinese High-Altitude) balloons which traversed U.S. airspace could “absolutely” be a dry run for an attack using a balloon-mounted weapon, but that hypersonic missiles would likely not be a first choice for China’s Communist regime.  “While China has tested hypersonic missiles launched from balloons in the past, that isn’t a likely use for these airships,” Crespo told The Epoch Times in an email. (NTD  Andrew Thornebrooke, February 6, 2023)

 

“The biggest threat (to the US) is sending one or more of these high-altitude balloons over the U.S. with a “small nuclear EMP” (Electromagnetic Pulse) device.  Detonated at extremely high altitude, a “small nuclear EMP” devices could knock out power and communications across the US, creating widespread havoc for a year or more without firing a shot on the ground.”  (NTD  Andrew Thornebrooke, February 6, 2023)

That system, then-Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. John Hyten said, appeared to be intended for a “first-use” nuclear strike against the United States.  “They look like a first-use weapon,” Hyten said.  “The pace [Communist China is] moving and the trajectory that they’re on will surpass Russia and the United States if we don’t do something to change it. (NTD  Andrew Thornebrooke, February 6, 2023

Communist China has actually been at war with the United States for the last 30 years, and fully hopes to be able to eliminate 200 million Americans with a series of biological weapons and with an “small nuclear EMP” attack.  The first Chinese Communist High-Altitude Balloon that traversed the Continental United States from January 28 to February 4, 2023, could have been easily pierced with air lasers, that would have created pin hole leaks in the skin of the balloon, the piercing would have slowly brought the balloon down safely, within a one mile square landing site in the Aleutian Islands, or in Alaska, or in Montana before it traversed the Continental United States.  

 

Instead, the Biden/Obama administration allowed the Communist Chinese High-Altitude Spy Balloon considered EMP Offensive Weapon Platformto transit Continental United States, and transmit highly sensitive Top Secret intelligence back to Communist China; that sensitive intelligence is the rope that Communist China hopes they can use to hang and kill American military personnel.   

 

At the same time Communist China has been violating the sovereignty of US Air Space, they have also been violating US sovereignty of the US Southern Border for two years.  The Biden/Obama administration has allowed over 5 million unvaccinated Illegal Aliens from 160 countries to violate the sovereignty of the United States by entering across the wide open southern border (any American Citizens returning from an overseas trip must prove that they have been vaccinated, before they are permitted to get back into the United States).  The US Border Patrol reported that there was a 719% increase in apprehensions of Chinese Communist Illegal Aliens from mainland China, who have been flooding across the wide open southern border in 2023, compared to number of Chinese Communist Illegal Alien apprehensions in 2022 by the US Border Patrol.  

 

The Biden/Obama administration has plans to increase the number of 5 million unvaccinated Illegal Aliens who have already entered the US over the last two years, to be increased in numbers to 10 million unvaccinated Illegal Aliens by to illegally enter the US by the 2024 national election.  During the last two years, an estimated one million got-aways have escaped detection by the US Border Patrol, including hundreds of Radical Islamic Terrorists listed on the “Terrorist Watch List” and on the  “No-Fly List”.  To date, over 100 terrorists on the “No-Fly List” have been captured by the US Border Patrol while trying to illegally enter the US through the Southern Border.  The convicted “Got-Aways” criminals will continue to commit major crimes throughout the US, and the thousands of Chinese Communist Illegal Aliens will subvert the US Constitutional Republic from within.  

 

The Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff continue to display their continued ineptness, in how they allowed the Communist Chinese High-Altitude Spy Balloons to gather critical Top Secret intelligence and to target 20 Top Secret Military bases in preparation for a future “small nuclear EMP” attack on the Republic as it traversed the Continental United States.  

 

Previously the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff continued their ineptness by how they vacated Afghanistan and allowed Bagram to be turned over to Communist China, in how they forced thousands of highly trained senior conservative white members of US military out of the US Armed Forces, and how they are now doing enormous damage in Unit Cohesion by indoctrinating the dwindling number of military personnel in the US Armed Forces, and the Cadets and Midshipmen in the five Service Academies to be brainwashed in Transgender Indoctrination, Wokeness, and Critical Race Theory.  

 

Most recently, over the last two years, the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff have effectively disarmed the US Armed Forces by sending $110 Billion of America’s weapons, equipment, and munitions to Ukraine while failing over the same last two years to immediately reorder sufficient numbers of replacements weapons, equipment, and munitions (the US’ highly sophisticated weaponry cannot now be produced and restocked for at least 5+ years).

 

Throughout the last two years, the US Constitution has also been under attack by Socialist Democrats, the Biden/Obama administration, Domestic Enemies, Progressives, Marxists, Communists, and Communist China.  The four incursions by Chinese Communist High-Altitude Balloons/Devices into the US and Canadian airspace must be a “Wake-up Call” for American Citizens.  It demonstrates just how much disrespect Communist China has for the occupant of the Oval Office.  We hope American Citizens will fully understand, once and for all, that Communist China has been “at war” with the United States for 30 years.
 

The majority of American citizens who love their country are unaware that they are in a life and death battle to save the Republic from the poisonous tenacles of Communist China, because the Communist Chinese controlled Socialist Media/Leftist Press continues to keep Americans in the dark about the Social Democrat, Progressives and Marxist initiated massive Voter Fraud during the last three national elections.

America’s Freedoms, outlined in The Bill of Right and in the US Constitution will ultimately be “retained” or eliminated as a result of the 2024 election.  A competent Commander-in-Chief who has not been compromised and is not feared by Communist China, must be elected so he can protect the Republic and oppose Communist China.

Op Ed # 607 Disarming of The US Armed Forces

By Capt Joseph R. John, February 11, 2023 

The Biden/Obama administration is violating the US Constitution by having Secretary of Defense Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff General Milley, systematically disarm the US Armed Forces by sending over $110 billion in munitions and equipment to Ukraine over the last two years.  Biden, Obama, Austin, and Milley fully understood that they have been depleting the United States’ critical warfighting capabilities for self-defense for the last two years, as explained in Table 1 listed below.  Table 1 was created by CISIS International Security Programs, which is a highly reliable source and current analysis of information, by providing international security and defense facts that were acquired from multiple reliable sources.

 

The current inept occupants of the Oval Office and the DOD have “not” taken required immediate action to rapidly reorder and replace the munitions and equipment that they have been depleting, or their failure to reorder may have been intentional.  Because of their failure to replace depleted munitions and equipment for two years, the replacement of the depleted munitions and equipment will take 5 or more years to reorder and restock their numbers.  Despite the fact that very little munitions are currently available for national defense as outlined in Table 1, the Biden/Obama administration is continually systematically disarming the US Armed Forces as explained in Table 1 below.  Table 1 does not include the 31 M-1A2 Abrams Battle Tanks, and the 100, M1000 Heavy Equipment Tank Transporters (collectively costing $400 million), and the Patriot Surface to Air Missiles Systems (collectively costing $1.1 billion), that are in the process of being shipped to Ukraine. 

 

The US has no method of tracking over $110 billion in wired cash, munitions, and equipment that it has been sending to Ukraine.  The inept Biden/Obama administration is relying only on the “word” of Zelenskyy,  and bureaucrats that he has appointed, that $110 billion in aid has been employed for front line military forces, and did not end up in the Swiss unnumbered account of corrupt Ukrainian bureaucrats. 
The Biden/Obama administration has consistently refused to appoint an Inspector General’s Office to keep track of where the aid was actually delivered and  to prevent the possible theft of $110 billion in cash, munitions, equipment, and financial aid sent to Ukraine over the last two years.

CSIS  INTERNATIONAL SECURITY PROGRAM, source of Table 1 above.


Now for some Questions and Answers from  LTC Royal A. Brown, III, USA (Ret) (Ranger):  


1. Will the Ukrainians maintain all this complicated equipment ?   Ans:  NO - they don't have the capability so US contractors will do so at

 great expense to US taxpayers.. 

 

2. What happens if any of this equipment lands in hands of Russians?  Ans: Russian and China will reverse engineer and copy them 

 taking away our technological edges..

 

3. Does this negatively impact our own defense needs?   Ans:  Obviously sending this equipment reduces our own warfighting capabilities. 

This equipment costs billions in addition to the $100 M in cash sent to Zelinsky and must also be reducing the warfighting capabilities of our own military.

 

4. How long before US boots are on the ground?  Ans: Probably not long - some are already there in advisory roles - you can bet CIA 

& mercenaries are there; others; like 101st Airborne Div are staging in Poland.

 

5. Will all this support along with $100B + in cash ensure the Russians will quit and go home?  .  Ans:  NO - their Black Sea Fleet is 

located at Ukrainian ports and they aren't going to give up Crimea which they invaded and occupied back in early 2014.. 

     

6. Could this war  lead to further escalation including possible use of nukes?  Ans:  YES - Ukraine also had thousands of nukes and

probably still have some suitcase nucs - there was little accountability when Ukraine broke away from old USSR. 

 

7. Do we have accountability process in place to ensure this $ and equipment all go to help Ukraine military and people and not go into 

 pockets of corrupt Ukrainian Oligarchs?  Ans:  NO  - how much of this money will end up in the off shore or Swiss bank accounts of 

 Ukrainian oligarchs?  

 

8. Has all this fueled the rampant Inflation and rising prices in the US ?  Ans:   YES

 

9. Do we know what US National Security Interests are at stake in Ukraine?  Ans:  NO - sure as hell isn't that if we don't stop Russia in 

Crimea it will lead to China attacking Taiwan.  This is mixing golf balls and grapefruits.   For one thing, Ukraine's allies are feckless 

 NATO & EU who depend on the US for their defense, whereas Taiwan has not only the US but well armed and trained forces of Taiwan, 

Japan, S. Korea, Indonesia, Australia etc. on its side. Those worried about this contingency should be supporting shipment of the 

equipment in table above to Taiwan not Ukraine.

 

10. The Obama/Biden regime were in power in 2014 when the Russians first invaded Crimea - what did they do about it ?  Ans: Nothing 

 except sanctions which didn't hurt Russia which kept supplying Germany and much of rest of Europe with their energy needs (e.g natural gas) and this hasn't stopped.

 

11. Are the Russians and Putin bad people interested in restoring old Soviet Union brand of Communism ?  Ans:  Yes, BUT what is 

NATO and EU going to do about it ?  What red line in the sand did the Obama/Biden regime draw when the Russians invaded 

Crimea in early 2014?

 

12. Did the Russians offer a ceasefire in trade for Ukraine not pushing to enter NATO?  Ans:  YES but Zelensky would have no part 

of it thus the war escalated. Zelensky is not a man of peace as he tries to convey. 

 

13. Are these same people in Obama 3/Biden Admin like WOKE SOD Austin and Chair of Joint Chiefs Milley as concerned about

defending the US southern border from invasion by illegal aliens and cartels as they are about defending Ukraine?  Ans: Not only NO but Hell NO

 

I'm sure you can come up with other questions about this debacle.  If your answers are different, LTC Brown would like to hear them; we will relay your E-mails to LTC Brown.

Op Ed # 606 Congressman Michael J. Gallagher, Cpt-USMC (PhD) (R-WI-8) Chairs Vital House Committee on Communist China

By Capt Joseph R. John, February 3, 2023  

Elected to his Fourth Term in Congress, Congressman Michael John Gallagher, Cpt-USMC (PhD) (R-WI-8), of Green Bay, was the 110th endorsed Combat Veteran For Congress.  He serves on the Armed Services Committee and the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.  Cong Gallagher was just selected as the Chairman of the vital House Select Committee on Communist China; it is a sorely-needed instrument to drive the Communist China policy debate in Congress.  The Mission of the House Select Committee on Communist China is to focus on the growing military imbalance between the United States and Communist China, the imbalance has worsened over the last two years, because of the weak Foreign Policy of the Biden/Obama administration in Southeast Asia.

Cong Mike Gallagher is a fiscally conservative Congressman who has tried to rein in the out-of-control spending by irresponsible Social Democrat members in Congress, and worked to reduce the national debt.  He is a seventh generation Wisconsin native and was born in Green Bay on March 3, 1984.  Cong Gallagher comes from a large Irish Catholic family that first settled in Northeast Wisconsin in 1845, and remain there to this day.  His grandfather, father, godfather, and sister are all well-known obstetricians.

In June 2006, Mike received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Near East Studies from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University; he majored in Near Eastern Studies and Arabic.  In June 2010, Michael Gallagher received a Master of Science Degree in Strategic Intelligence from the National Intelligence University in Washington, DC.  Michael received a Master of Arts Degree in Security Studies in 2012, and in 2013 he received a Master of Arts Degree in in Government from Georgetown University in Washington, DC.  Michael was subsequently awarded a Doctorate Degree in Government-International Relations from Georgetown University in June 2015 , where his dissertation focused on presidential-decision making and the conditions under which presidents and Congress make major foreign policy changes.  He has published articles on foreign policy in Intelligence and National Security, The National Interest, Parameters, and The Marine Corps Gazette.

In February 2004, while matriculating at Princeton University, Michael Gallagher was sworn in to the US Marine Corps Platoon Leaders Class Program at the US Marine Corps Recruiting Headquarters in Princeton, NJ.  During the summer following his junior year at Princeton, Michael attended Officer Candidate School at the US Marine Corps Base, Quantico, Virginia, and graduated in September 2005.  Upon graduation from Princeton on June 5, 2006, Michael Gallagher was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the US Marine Corps.

In September 2007, 2nd Lt Gallagher deployed from Camp Pendleton to Iraq’s Al Anbar Province.  During that deployment, 2nd Lt Gallagher was a Human Intelligence Exploitation Team Commander serving in general support of Regimental Combat Team-2 Assessment, where he conducted over 100 tactical interrogations and supported over 38 regimental Aero Scout missions.  In April of 2008 he returned to Camp Pendleton and re-deployed to Iraq one month later in May 2008.

During his second deployment, on May 26, 2008, 2nd Lt Gallagher was promoted to First Lieutenant, and served in direct support of Task Force 2/2 in the border town of Al Qaim, Iraq as a Human Intelligence Exploitation Team Commander.  Upon 1st Lt Gallagher’s return from his second deployment, he was temporarily assigned to General Petraeus’ Central Command Assessment Team—serving at both CENTCOM Forward HQ in Qatar and National Defense University—where he was the only Company Grade Officer participating in this comprehensive review of the CENTCOM AOR.

1st Lt Gallagher
 was promoted to Captain on July 1, 2010.  Capt Gallagher was Honorably Discharged from the Marine Corps on August 31, 2013 and accepted a commission as a Captain in the US Marine Corps Reserve.  While on active duty, Capt. Gallagher earned the Joint Service Commendation Medal, the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal, the Navy Unit Commendation  (Gold Star in lieu of 2nd award), and various Campaign and Service Medals. 

While on active duty, Capt Gallagher was named by the Center For a New American Security as a “Next Generation National Security Leader”, was selected as a Foundation for the Defense of Democracies National Security Fellow, and was listed as a “Top 99 under 33 Foreign Policy Leader” by the Diplomatic Courier.   

As a civilian, Mike served from September 2013 to February 2015 as the Republican Professional Staff Member for Middle East/North Africa and Counterterrorism on the United States Senate Foreign Relations Committee.  In that capacity, he was the lead expert for over 20 countries including Iran, Israel, Syria, and Iraq, and for global counterterrorism operations.  He was responsible for conducting State Department/USAID oversight and, as a Captain in US Marine Corps Reserves, served as part of the Defense Intelligence Agency Director’s Development Group. 

 

As the Select Committee Chairman on Communist China, Cong Michael J. Gallagher will focus on the Select Committees central task.  The Select Committee’s central task is to focus on the geopolitical reality in Southeast Asia that the Biden/Obama administration has been working tirelessly, trying to blur the fact that Communist China is preparing their population for war, and he will reveal to the American electorate just how seriously the military imbalance of power has become under the Biden/Obama administration.   

 

Over the last two years, the military balance has shifted severely against the United States, since the Biden/Obama administration has neglected and degraded the “Combat Effectiveness” of the US Armed Forces.  Communist China now has a largest Army and Navy in the world, and they are involved in a massive warship building program, expanding the number of China’s aircraft carriers and their nuclear submarines.  

 

Cong Gallagher’s focus as the Chairman of the Select Committee on Communist China is to grapple with the reality of the severe modifications that have occurred in Southeast Asia over the last two years, where Communist China’s growing military power, and America’s declining military capabilities have destabilized the status quo.  Those realities have threatened America’s allies of South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Taiwan, Australia, Guam, and Thailand in the region.

 

The military imbalance in favor of Communist China has also undermined the strategic status quo in Europe and in Asia. Unless the Select Committee exposes the military imbalance to the American electorate, and convinces Congress to take action to rectify it, primarily through a major expansion of the US Armed Forces and a commensurate increase in America’s defense industrial capacity, it will only be a matter of time before an element of the strategic status quo cracks. The most likely result of any future fissure would result in the invasion of Taiwan.  We encourage you to read the below listed article.

Opinion 

Cong Mike Gallagher Chairs Vital House Committee. Its Only Focus: Communist China

George F. Will

January 25, 2023

 

Cong Mike Gallagher, Cpt-USMC (PhD) (R-WI-8) speaks with reporters on Capitol Hill on Jan. 3. (Carolyn Kaster/AP)

Voracious reading — “I am reminded of Andrew Gordon’s masterful book ‘The Rules of the Game’ about the decline of the Royal Navy before the Battle of Jutland” — fuels the fluent writings of Cong Mike Gallagher (R-WI-8). Their distilled essence is: People who are serious about national security should immediately speak loudly so that the nation can carry a big military stick. To qualify for the “marathon” competition with China, the United States must “win the sprint” right now.
 

After Princeton and before earning a Georgetown PhD, Gallagher served seven years as a Marine, learning Arabic, and, during two Iraq deployments, learning the cost of good intentions combined with muddy thinking. Now 38 and in his fourth congressional term, he chairs the House’s newly created and instantly most important committee. Its single subject is China — meaning, practically, the Chinese Communist Party.

Deterrence failed regarding Ukraine, with a huge cost in blood and treasure; a comparable failure regarding Taiwan would be immeasurably more catastrophic. About this, Gallagher’s thinking is congruent with that of scholars Hal Brands (Johns Hopkins) and Michael Beckley (Tufts) in “Danger Zone: The Coming Conflict with China.

 

"Demography, the authors say, dictates China’s destiny, which is decline. The danger zone is not this century — the marathon — but this decade, when China, “a falling power” facing an “ugly” future, might lunge through a closing window of opportunity for aggression.

 

The long run favors the United States, which is why “getting to the long run won’t be easy.”

China, Brands and Beckley write, is at “the intersection of ambition and desperation,” the latter because China’s 37-fold real gross domestic product growth 1978-2018 is certain to be followed by a prolonged contraction. By 2050, almost one-third of the nation will be over 60. Because of the long echo of the ruinous “one-child policy“ (1980-2016), China’s population, they write, “will be just half its current size by the end of the century and perhaps as soon as the 2060s.” And:

“From 2020 to 2035, China will lose roughly 70 million working-age adults and gain 130 million senior citizens. That’s a France-sized population of young workers, consumers, and taxpayers gone — and a Japan-sized population of elderly pensioners gained — in just fifteen years.”

Gallagher believes that China’s recklessness might increase as its dynamism wanes. Hence his questions, recommendations and complaints that the committee can explore.

Why the seeming retreat from the long-standing goal of a 355-ship Navy? Why is China purchasing U.S. agricultural land? Why has Congress not funded improved air and missile defense systems on Guam, just 1,700 miles from Taiwan? Why is Saudi Arabia ahead of Taiwan in the line to receive Harpoon missiles?

There should be more surge capacity in munitions manufacturing. “On any given missile system,” Gallagher writes, “roughly 30 percent of the material requires lead times on restocking that may run beyond a year.” U.S. policy should protect Indo-Pacific nations from “Finlandization,” a Cold War term for large authoritarian powers reducing nominally independent countries to functional subservience.

Defeating an amphibious invasion of Taiwan would require U.S. strikes against China’s coastal facilities, according to Gallagher. So, crucial military munitions plants on the U.S. mainland should be hardened against potential retaliatory strikes by China’s precision weapons with conventional explosives.

Gallagher tartly says, “Silicon Valley, a leader in the corporate social responsibility movement, should modernize its conception of social responsibility to exclude technology partnerships” that facilitate China’s human rights abuses and weapons development. And in his summoning of the nation to seriousness, he is scalding about the Defense Department’s “woke commissariat.”

The growing “diversity, equity, and inclusion” bureaucracy, wielding “fringe history and shoddy social science,” has bombarded the Navy with scores of recommendations — although this service is more diverse than the U.S. population. “The military,” Gallagher writes, “is an elite and meritocratic organization where only the most fit, disciplined, and lethal individuals should thrive, regardless of gender, race, or socioeconomic status. To that end, the military obsessively measures pull-ups, marksmanship, and a general ability to endure pain.” All other measurements are of secondary importance.

The House Select Committee on China was created by a bipartisan vote of 365-65. All of the opponents were Democrats, probably wary lest China’s threat complicates the progressive agenda of devoting evermore national resources to multiplying dependent domestic constituencies. Some congressional Republicans, speaking loudly (if vaguely) for frugality, would provide the nation with a smaller military stick rather than touch the two-thirds of the budget devoted to entitlements. To both factions, Gallagher cites another Marine who does not mince words, former defense secretary Jim Mattis: “America can afford survival.”

 

Op-Ed # 605 AT&T’s DirecTV Drops NEWSMAX from 13 Million American Homes; "Blatant Deep State Censorship"

By Capt Joseph R. John, January 29, 2023 

This is the second time in the past year AT&T has violated the Second Amendment moved to “Censor Freedom of Speech” of a conservative News channel:  In April 2022, AT&T DirecTV deplatformed One American News (OAN) in the same way Communists censors “Freedom of Speech”.   Those are the same policies of Communist China, Marxist Antifa Domestic Terrorist, Social Democrats, Progressives, and the Biden/Obama administration has been using the Department of Homeland Security to prevent “Freedom of Speech” in the United States.

 

To protect The Bill of Rights, the US Constitution, the Second Amendment, and “Freedom of Speech in the United States, we encourage you to pass this on to everyone in your address book, and take the following actions if they apply.

Actions Americans, who believe in “Freedom of Speech”, should take to Fight AT&T DirecTV’s Censorship

1. If you’re a DirecTV customer call them toll free at 877-763-9762 and demand they bring NEWSMAX back on air or you can CANCEL! [When you speak to a live operator, let them know you’re aware NEWSMAX’s live stream is ending soon on other platforms, so unless you get it on DirecTV you will have to cancel their service.]

If you are an AT&T customer for any of their products or services, call them and demand they end their censorship of NEWSMAX or you will cancel. Call AT&T toll free at 888-855-2338.

2. Call your Member of Congress or Senator at 202-224-3121 and demand they stop AT&T and DirecTV’s censorship of conservative media like NEWSMAX!

3. Go to online Petition: iWantNewsmax.com

This blatant and outrageous action by AT&T designed to prevent Americans from being prevented from hearing two sides of the story in the up-and-coming political campaigns, leading up to the national elections of 2024.  The below listed article further describes this outrageous action by AT&T.

Breaking News from Newsmax.com

 

Important from NEWSMAX:

At midnight Tuesday, AT&T's DirecTV cut Newsmax's signal, immediately shutting the network off from more than 13 million customers of the satellite service, DirecTV Stream, and U-Verse.

This is the second time in the past year AT&T has moved to cancel a conservative channel, with DirecTV deplatforming OAN in April.

"This is a blatant act of political discrimination and censorship against Newsmax," Christopher Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax, said.

Despite Newsmax being the 4th highest-rated cable news channel in the nation, a top 20 cable news channel overall, and watched by 25 million Americans on cable alone, according to Nielsen, DirecTV said it was taking the step as a "cost-cutting" measure and would never pay Newsmax a cable license fee.

DirecTV pays cable license fees to all top 75 cable channels and to all 22 liberal news channels it carries. 

Almost all of these channels are paid hefty license fees significantly greater than Newsmax was seeking — and despite the fact that most of the channels have far lower ratings than Newsmax.

"The most extreme liberal channels, even with tiny ratings, get fees from AT&T's DirecTV, but [in their view] Newsmax and OAN need to be deplatformed," Ruddy said.

Op Ed # 604 Center For Military Readiness Challenges New Congress to End Woke-ism in the US Military

By Capt Joseph R. John, January 18, 2023 

Ms. Elaine Donnelly has been the President of the Center for Military Readiness (CMR) for 30 years.  She has done an exceptionally outstanding job of supporting every correct policy initiative and the annual DOD budget request to improve the Combat Effectiveness of US Armed Forces for 30 years.  

In her below listed initiatives, she is encouraging the Biden/Obama administration to end Wokeness in the US Military, the politics of skin color and pronouns in the US Military, which over the last two years, has resulted in “Weakened Morale”, a Decreased State of Readiness”, has Eliminated Unit Cohesiveness”, and has “Degraded The Combat Effectiveness” of the US Armed Forces.  

The Navy Leadership promoting “Wokeness” has threatened to punish sailors who purposely abuse pronouns to define transgender service members, viewing it as an offense of harassment.  Sailors that contravene the policy can encounter administrative or judicial punishment under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.  The Navy Pentagon Leadership states that intentional misuse of transgender service member pronouns is inappropriate and inconsistent with the Navy zero tolerance policy on harassment.  The Navy appreciates that pronouns are a part of individual identity which both civilian and uniformed Navy members are expected to make use of, as well as to pronounce names correctly. 

Imposing the “Wokeness” progressive ideology, forcing the indoctrination of “Critical Race Theory” while focusing on skin color of all US military personnel, and eliminating the privacy of female-only living facilities has resulted in a severe “Recruiting Crisis for the All-Volunteer Force”.  All branches of the Armed Forces are facing dire recruiting realities, the Army failed to meet 25% of its recruiting goal, the Navy is raising the maximum enlistment age to 41 to try to meet its recruiting goal.
  Vacancies in the ranks are not escaping the rulers of Communist China, Russia, Communist Cuba, Communist North Korea, and Islamic Republic of Iran (Largest State Sponsor of Terrorist).

The requirement for the US military to improve “Combat Effectiveness” should be the primary goal of the Secretary of Defense.  However, by imposing “Wokeness”, aggressively recruiting LGBTQ personnel while requiring the US Military to cover the very expensive cost of sex transition surgery, and imposing the indoctrination of  “Critical Race Theory”, the Secretary of Defense has made it very difficult to recruit the All-Volunteer Force.

If American voters want the US Armed Forces to be ready to fight and win in a conflict, they must elect a President and Congress that will stop the focus on Wokeness, who instead will focus on Combat Effectiveness, and a President who will understand that America’s adversaries do not care about the use of specific pronouns or the focus on the politics of race. 
 

We encourage you to read the below listed article in which Elaine Donnelly is encouraging the 118th Congress to end Wokeness in the US Military.

CMR Challenges New Congress to End Woke-ism in the Military

The following comments may be attributed to Elaine DonnellyPresident of the Center for Military Readiness (CMR), an independent public policy organization that reports on and analyzes military/social issues.  

“The armed forces’ Recruiting Crisis of 2022 will continue and worsen in 2023 unless Congress acts to restore sound priorities that are being weakened by woke ideology.

National security depends on the All-Volunteer Force.  Congress, which has the constitutional responsibility for oversight, must not allow Defense Department leaders to continue and extend woke policies that are alienating the military’s core constituency: traditional, patriotic families.  

The Center for Military Readiness calls on the new 118th Congress to oppose, change, or repeal “woke” policies in the military that are weakening morale and readiness, and to support sound priorities that would make our military stronger. 

CMR Challenge for 2023: Woke-ism in Our Military

Woke policies impose progressive ideologies and take them to extremes with enforced compliance, even if they hurt the institution.  

“The Center for Military Readiness has challenged Congress to end woke-ism in the military by addressing ten issues, linked here.  In summary, Congress should

Oppose:

  • Pentagon Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) metrics and percentage-based quotas
  • Divisive critical race theory (CRT) instructions in military schools and academies
  • Anti-extremist programs skewed by leftist ideology 
  • Registration of Women with Selective Service for a possible future draft
  • Attempts to re-define Selective Service with steps toward National Service
  • Sex-normed (different) training standards for men and women in (infantry) combat 
  • Unreasonable COVID vaccine mandates that exclude or discharge willing personnel 
  • Relaxed eligibility rules for persons with a history of disqualifying behavioral problems
  • Sexualized military base entertainment that alienates families and disrespects women 

Re-Evaluate and Revise to Promote Readiness:

  • Consequences of imposing “gender diversity” on direct ground combat(infantry) units 
  • The consequences of “sex-neutral” (identical) standards” that cause disproportionate injuries, higher attrition rates, and non-deployability among women
  • Impact of transgender policies that accommodate gender dysphoria in the military, including violations of personal privacy in female-only living facilities and athletics
  • Impact of gender dysphoria policies on medical ethics and rights of religious liberty 

Support:

  • Reality-based health care programs that protect children from woke activists who promote transgender treatments and sometimes surgeries without parental involvement 
  • Non-discrimination and recognition of merit in enlistment and promotion polices 
  • Command accountability for due process and justice in matters of sexual assault
  • Military parents’ rights to seek information about the curriculum, teaching practices, and books used in Department of Defense Education (DoDEA)schools
  • “Peace Through Strength” and American military superiority 

“If there are conflicts between woke social causes or career interests and the needs of the military, the needs of the military must come first.  We hope that pro-defense lawmakers will aggressively defend sound policies that strengthen our military, not weaken it.”

Op Ed # 603 "The Plan", The Communist Strategy to Change the Republic Into a Marxist/Socialist State

By Capt Joseph R. John, January 14, 2023  

In 1958, Robert Welch, tried to warn America of “The Plan” that Marxists, Communists, and Socialists initiated to change the United States from a US Constitutional Republic into a Marxist/Socialist State.  He was repeatedly attacked by the left of center liberal media establishment as an “extreme right-winger.” 

 

Robert Welch, was warning Americans about what Communists would do to take down the US Constitutional Republic.  It happens to be what the Biden/Obama administration and Socialist Democrats have been doing over the last two years, to undercut the US Constitutional Republic, which includes substantially increasing taxes by $318.7 Billion on January 1, 2023.  Those new taxes will continue to slow down and destabilize the US Economy that is already in a recession. 

The new $318.7 Billion tax increases was passed by the Inflation Reduction Act.  The increases are explained in detail in the below listed article. The Inflation Reduction Act was passed in August 2022 with only the votes of 50 Socialist Democrat Senators, no Republican Senators voted for the Inflation Reduction Act.  It took Vice President Kamala Harris to cast the tie-breaking vote to pass the massive new increase in taxes. 

Social Democrats Passed $318.7 Billion in New Taxes Damaging American Taxpayers as Follows:

 

1. $65 Billion Natural Gas Taxes—Which Will Increase Household Energy Bills.

2. $12 Billion Crude Oil Taxes—Which Will Increase Household Heating Costs.

3. $1.2 Billion Coal Taxes—Which Will Increase Household Energy Bills.

4. $74 Billion Stock Taxes—Which Will Hit American’s Nest Eggs (401ks, IRAs, and Pension Plans).

5. $225 Billion Corporate Income Tax Hikes---Corporations Never Pay Increases In Taxes, They Pass New Taxes On To Consumers.

Socialist Democrats have been denying that their policies, over the last two years, have created inflation, destabilized the US Economy, and have created the recession.  In keeping with “The Plan”, by passing the Inflation Reduction Act during a recession, Socialist Democrats have massively increased US Taxes on the average American Taxpayer by $318.7 Billion, have continued to increase inflation, severely decreased the income of the average American Taxpayer, and are continuing to destabilize the US Economy.

FINANCE / GOVERNMENT WATCH

List of Biden Tax Hikes Hitting Americans on Jan. 1st

Mike Palicz

January 4, 2023    

On Jan. 1, 2023 the following Democrat tax hikes will take effect:

$6.5 Billion Natural Gas Tax Which Will Increase Household Energy Bills       

Think your household energy bills are high now? Just wait until the three major energy taxes in the Inflation Reduction Act hit your wallet. The first is a regressive tax on American oil and gas development. The tax will drive up the cost of household energy bills. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the natural gas tax will increase taxes by $6.5 billion.

The tax hike violates President Biden’s tax pledge to any American making less than $400,000 per year. Biden administration officials have repeatedly admitted taxes that raise consumer energy prices are in violation of President Biden’s $400,000 tax pledge.

letter to Congress from the American Gas Association warned that the methane tax would amount to a 17% increase on an average family’s natural gas bill. Democrats have included a tax in the bill despite retail prices for energy surpassing multi-year highs in the United States.

$12 Billion Crude Oil Tax Which Will Increase Household Costs

Democrats are imposing a 16.4 cents-per-barrel tax on crude oil and imported petroleum products that will be passed on to consumers in the form of higher gas prices.

The tax hike violates President Biden’s tax pledge to any American making less than $400,000 per year.

As noted above, Biden administration officials have repeatedly admitted taxes that raise consumer energy prices are in violation of President Biden’s $400,000 tax pledge.

As if it weren’t bad enough, Democrats have pegged their oil tax increase to inflation. As inflation increases, so will the level of tax.

The non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimates the provision will raise $12 billion in taxes.

$1.2 Billion Coal Tax Which Will Increase Household Energy Bills

The tax hike more than doubles the current excise taxes on coal production. Under the Democrat proposal, the tax rate on coal from subsurface mining would increase from $0.50 per ton to $1.10 per ton while the tax rate on coal from surface mining would increase from $0.25 per ton to $0.55 per ton.

JCT estimates that this will raise $1.2 billion in taxes that will be passed on to consumers in the form of higher electricity bills.

$74 Billion Stock Tax Which Will Hit Your Nest Egg — 401(k)s, IRAs and Pension Plans

When Americans choose to sell shares of stock back to a company, Democrats will impose a new federal excise tax which will reduce the value of household nest eggs. Raising taxes and restricting stock buybacks harms the retirement savings of any individual with a 401(k), IRA or pension plan.

Union retirement plans will also be hit.

The tax will put U.S. employers at a competitive disadvantage with China, which does not have such a tax.

Stock buybacks help grow retirement accounts. Raising taxes and restricting buybacks would harm the 58 percent of Americans who own stock and more than 60 million workers invested in a 401(k). An additional 14.83 million Americans are invested in 529 education savings accounts.

Retirement accounts hold the largest share of corporate stocks, accounting for roughly 37 percent of the outstanding $22.8 trillion in U.S. corporate stock, according to the Tax Foundation.

In 2017, corporate-sponsored funds made up $4.45 trillion in market value; union-sponsored funds accounted for $409 billion; and public-sponsored funds, which benefit teachers and police officers, added up to $4.25 trillion.

When companies perform stock buybacks, these investors are the ones who benefit. A tax on buybacks could dissuade companies from conducting this action and negatively impact retirement savings.

American companies will face significant compliance costs — a boon to expensive white-shoe law firms — the burden of which will be passed on to working households.

$225 Billion Corporate Income Tax Hike Which Will Be Passed on to Households

Democrats imposed a 15 percent corporate alternative minimum tax on the financial statement income of American businesses reporting $1 billion in profits for the past three years. These American companies employ millions of Americans.

The cost of this tax increase will be borne by working families in the form of higher prices, fewer jobs, and lower wages.

Tax Foundation report from last December found a 15 percent book tax would reduce GDP by 0.1 percent and kill 27,000 jobs.

Preliminary cost estimates from the Congressional Budget Office found the provision would increase taxes by more than $225 billion.

According to JCT’s analysis, 49.7 percent of the tax would be borne by the manufacturing industry at a time when manufacturers are already struggling with supply-chain disruptions.

Tax Foundation also warned that current supply chain issues could be worsened by the book tax’s disproportionate burden on key industries. The report concluded that “the coal industry faces the heaviest burden of the book minimum tax, facing a net tax hike of 7.2 percent of its pretax book income, followed by automobile and truck manufacturing, which faces a 5.1 percent tax hike.”

Op Ed # 602 Chinese War Planners Are Ecstatic With Biden “Opens Door Policy” Allowing For Chinese Sabotage

By Capt Joseph R. John, January 4, 2023 

Communism China poses an existential threat to the United States and all Mankind.  Over the last two years the Biden/Obama administration has had an open-door policy with Communist China which has been predictably disabling the military defenses and disarming intelligence defenses of the Republic.  In the article below this Op Ed read that China Expert, Gordon Chang, writes at the Gatestone Institute, where he is a senior distinguished fellow and an Advisory Board Member, that “Chinese War Planners Are Ecstatic: With Biden China’s ‘Opens Door Policy’ Allowing for Chinese Sabotage.”

While Biden recently met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Indonesia, he incoherently stated we are not adversaries, there is no need for a Cold War.  He said the US and Communist China are friendly competitors.  However, one would have to be brain-dead to believe that the US and Communist China are not in a Cold War.  The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is conditioning the population of Communist China to expect a coming war.  Yet the Biden/Obama administration is ignoring the continued threats by Communist China to Taiwan, and the repeated outright warnings to the United States not to defend Taiwan.

The Biden/Obama administration allowed Communist China to establish and operate a Communist Chinese Fuzhou Overseas Police Service Station, located in the US at 107 East Broadway, New York City, NY.  The Fuzhou Overseas Police Service Station is inside the headquarters of the American Changle Association, founded in 1998.  That only could have happened with the approval of the Biden/Obama administration but was done without the approval or the knowledge of Congress.  Establishment of the Fuzhou Overseas Police Service Station was authorized by Obama’s former White House staff, headed by Susan Rice, who is in control of the Oval Office.  The Chinese Communist Police Force operating in the US are rounding up dissident Chinese Nationals who fled Communist China.

The Biden/Obama administration rescinded President Trump’s prevention of the use of any Communist Chinese State-Run Company from bidding on providing electronic components, manufactured in Communist China, to be inserted throughout the United States National Electronic Power Grid System (Power Grid).  If that occurs, Communist China would have the ability to shut down the US Power Grid, creating at least a two-year winter in the US, which would kill and starve millions of Americans.

The Biden/Obama administration processed and cleared a Chinese Communist company to purchase and own 370 acres of land only twelve miles from Grand Forks Air Force Base in North Dakota where overly sensitive military technology can be spied on.  As a result, China will be able to use a proposed $700 million corn milling plant on the site and be able to spy on military communications and even disrupt them.  In Beijing, Chinese Communist Party must be shaking their heads in disbelief at the inability of the U.S. to protect its most sensitive military technology and communications".  Trade expert Alan Tonelson stated, "The decision of the Socialist Democrat Congressional authors of the recent Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) reform that is permitting any foreign purchase of US land near any U.S. military installation was a clear case of legislative malpractice." It is not malpractice, it is treason.

On the date that the Biden/Obama administration summarily withdrew all US military forces from Afghanistan, leaving millions of friendly Afghanistan supporters and Americans to the mercy of the Taliban, and when Afghanistan fell to the Taliban, Chinese Communist newspapers declared that China would invade Taiwan on a determined timeline.  The newspapers stated that when that happens, the island will fall within hours because the United States will abandon Taiwan as it abandoned Afghanistan.  Since the devastating withdrawal of Afghanistan, Communist China has increased the daily overflights of military aircraft and the daily incursion of Communist Chinese Naval Warships into the territorial water of Taiwan. 

There is overwhelming evidence that the Wuhan Virus was created in a Communist Chinese laboratory for their biowarfare program.  Communist China weaponized and released the Wuhan Virus in the US that killed over one million Americans and seriously injured additional millions of Americans.  The experimental test gene therapy injection that was created and distributed worldwide to protect the population never worked but is killing millions worldwide. 

The Guardian in Europe listed the 20 European countries who halted the injection of the experimental test gene therapy injection created by Big Pharma for the Wuhan Virus: Austria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Romania, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Slovenia, Cyprus, and Sweden.  Bulgaria and Thailand have also stopped the experimental test injections.  When asked why all experimental test injections have been terminated, the European Union Medical Regulators responded with their standard boilerplate answer: “We do not have to explain vaccine injuries or deaths.”

The Biden/Obama administration has been weakening the US Armed Forces, by discharging thousands of servicemembers who refused to get the Wuhan Virus experimental test injection; the injections have been injuring military personnel including pilots whose number are being hidden from the American public.  The Chinese Communist, Russian, and Iranian military personnel are not being required to take the experimental test gene therapy injections that have negatively affected US military personnel. 

For two years, the Biden/Obama administration has been purging the military of highly qualified senior enlisted conservatives, calling them "white nationalists".  They have forced the indoctrination Critical Race Theory for all servicemembers which has destroyed “Unit Cohesion” and forcing woke tolerance training instead of focusing on training personnel on how to improve their “Combat Effectiveness” in preparation for war.  The destabilization of the US Armed Forces has not been missed by Communist China.

To further destabilize the US Armed Forces, the Biden/Obama administration has been actively recruiting gay and transgender personnel, and the sexual attacks on young male recruits in barracks have increased, with the number of young recruit AWOLs to avoid being sexually attacked in the barracks is increasing to unacceptable levels.  Those policies have resulted in the inability of the military to retain personnel (female soldiers do not want transgender males to shower with them and are leaving).  The military is not able to recruit 25% of their initial goal of 485,000 female and male soldiers, even with unbelievable massive recruiting bonuses.  The new numbers now being recruited has been reduced to cover up the inability of the US military to recruit personnel, shortfalls will be filled by activating reservists. 

The Biden/Obama administration’s real defense spending continues to decrease; it has not kept up with inflation, while Communist China, Russia, and Iran defense spending is outpacing inflation as well as US defense spending.  In fact, Communist China is engaged in the world’s fastest military buildup of any country since the end of the Second World War; its Navy is larger than the US Navy, and the Communist Chinese Navy is still building at a much faster pace than the US Navy shipbuilding program.  The Chinese Air Force, Space Force, and Missile development programs are far outpacing the US Military’s development programs in those areas.

The Biden/Obama administration has hidden the depletion of its critical stocks of defensive and offensive weaponry from the American people.  At the same time, monthly, they have been sending billions of dollars and critical US weaponry created for the defense of the United States, as a give away to Ukraine.  
The Biden/Obama administration has been emptying its military munitions vaults, refusing to allow the documentation by DOD’s Inspector General of delivery of those weapons to Ukraine combat personnel.  Further, where the weaponry is being delivered in Ukraine is unknown and undocumented.  Billions of dollars of financial aid to Ukraine are being “wire transferred” without any records of where the funds are ending up, and the Biden/Obama administration has refused to allow details of who is receiving the US funds by DOD’s Inspector General. 

There has not been the massive DOD expenditure necessary to restock critical weaponry in the US defensive and offensive arsenal depleted by transfer of the weaponry to Ukraine; the buy for the replenishment of land missiles, howitzer shells, anti-tank javelin missiles, Hilmar rocket launchers, artillery pieces, and drones have not gone forward.  
Making matters even worse, “News-Target” has reported, "U.S. military is running out of key munitions including anti-tank Javelins by gifting them to Ukraine as production capacity continues to fall."  Communist China is aware of the depletion of US weaponry that would be used to defend Taiwan.

The Heritage Foundation has released a profoundly disturbing report that analyzes the strength of the US Armed Forces.  
The Heritage Foundation's 2023 Index of U.S. Military Strength reported that the US Armed Forces is "at risk of not being able to meet the demands of defending America’s vital national interests".  For the first time in history, the Heritage Foundation’s annual ranking of U.S. military strength, has ranked the nation's US Armed Forces as "weak". 

Communist China has been observing with glee that the Biden/Obama administration has been draining the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to its lowest level in 38 years, in its failed attempt to try to bring down the price of gas at the pump.  The purpose of the SPR is to be used in the event of a national catastrophe, emergency, or in the event of war to provide a reliable source of fuel for the US Armed Forces to be used in the defense of the United States, not to reduce the price of gas at the pump. 

In 2021, the Biden/Obama administration engineered the elimination of the United States southern border and has kept it wide open throughout 2022 allowing over 5 million unidentified Illegal Aliens and possibly 2 million dangerous Got-Aways from 161 countries, including those from Communist China, Islamic Terrorist State of Iran, Communist Venezuela, and Communist Cuba to enter the United States, bringing the number of Illegal Aliens within the US to 25 million.  Over 100 terrorists listed on the “No Fly List” have been captured trying to enter the US, others entered who were not interdicted.  The millions of Illegal Aliens entering the US are not required to show proof of inoculation for the Wuhan Virus, while American Citizens are not allowed to re-enter the United States from overseas travel unless they can show proof of an experimental test inoculation for the Wuhan Virus.  “If there is no border---there is no country!” 

Senator Rubio, who was himself the subject of a Communist Chinese destabilization operation to prevent him from being re-elected, said that the effort was inextricably linked to Communist China’s desire to undermine and destroy the United States.  He said “The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is laser-focused on undermining and, ultimately, overthrowing the United States.”  The Florida Senator told Epoch Times in an E-mail,  “It is working overtime to dominate and influence Americans in academia, technology, as well as local and federal government.  The United States must not be naïve to this threat, and it starts by recognizing and banning the companies, organizations, and software the CCP uses to influence Americans.”

The CCP is turning Americans against one another by inflaming and polarization, because it says a nation at war with itself is hardly capable of fighting against Communist China.  By framing how Americans discuss the issues of the times, and by polarizing them to the point of being unable to collaborate with one another, the CCP is setting the stage to ensure that the United States will be incapable of meeting a crisis and more likely of sliding into a national death spiral.  The goal is to weaken the foundation of a society and its institutions by employing a long game type of strategy that usually targets unsuspecting individuals and groups.

Prior to 2019, the CCP exploited the United States’ open media environment to promote positive views of Communist China.  Its state-backed influencers use paid advertising of US Media and bot networks to earn favorable views abroad.  By 2022, however, another report (pdf) found that the CCP had successfully pivoted into a new phase of influence operations, marked by the targeted messaging of well-defined audiences that were segmented based on granular demographic data, not unlike that used by global marketing and research agencies.

Congressman Michael McCaul (R-Texas), who will chair the House Foreign Affairs Committee, is acutely aware of the threats Communist China poses to the security of the United States.  He believes that the CCP’s ability to obtain the data of American users through companies like TikTok is a key part of the puzzle.  “Unfortunately, it is no surprise that the CCP is working to sow political discord among the American people,” McCaul told The Epoch Times in an email.  “The U.S. is failing to take the threat of the CCP seriously.”

The Biden/Obama administration’s National Security Council and the leadership of the FBI have not been providing the protection, the security, or the leadership to close the massive aggressive spying ongoing in the US by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
  Protection is needed for the US institutions, US research programs, and for scientists advancing innovation in this era of weapons development and strategic military competition---the Biden/Obama administration, their Socialist Democrat allies in Congress, the Domestic Enemies of the United States (Marxists, and Communists) are knowingly allowing Communist China to Sabotage the United States.

Chinese Communist War Planners are ecstatic with the Biden/Obama administration’s “Open Door Policy” allowing Communist China to Sabotage the US and turn the US Constitutional Republic into a Socialist State.

Chinese War Planners Ecstatic: Biden “Opens Door” for China to Sabotage US

'Must be shaking their heads in disbelief at inability to protect most sensitive communications'

By Bob Unruh
Published January 1, 2023 

 

Action by Joe Biden actually "opens the door" for China to sabotage America, by spying and possibly disrupting America's military communications, charges China expert Gordon Chang.

He writes at the Gatestone Institute, where he is a senior distinguished fellow and an advisory board member, about the Biden administration process that just cleared a Chinese company to own 370 acres of land only 12 miles from Grand Forks Air Force Base in North Dakota.

"As a result, China will be able to use a proposed $700 million corn milling plant on the site to spy on military communications and even disrupt them. In Beijing, they must be shaking their heads in disbelief at the inability of the U.S. to protect some of its most sensitive communications," he warned.

It was the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, a task force, that said the deal is not a "covered transaction" under the Defense Production Act of 1950. Therefore, CFIUS, as the agency is known, decided it did not have jurisdiction to block the land purchase, Chang documented.

He points out that while the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 called on CFIUS to review purchases by foreign parties of lands close to specific locations, such as military installations, the Grand Forks base was not on the attached list.

Trade expert Alan Tonelson told Chang, "The decision of the congressional authors of the recent CFIUS reform to permit any foreign purchase of any land near any U.S. military installation was a clear case of legislative malpractice." 

The bottom line now is that Fufeng USA, a subsidiary of a Chinese agribusiness conglomerate, now is free to build its wet corn milling and biofermentation plant in Grand Forks.

"Chinese war planners must be ecstatic," Chang wrote.

He quoted Brandon Weichert, author of Winning Space: How America Remains a Superpower, "The Chinese will now have the ability to conduct passive, persistent surveillance of both signals controlling experimental drones that are routinely tested at that USAF facility as well as signals that are routinely beamed to and from sensitive U.S. military satellites."

And Weichert said it's possible that "active sabotage operations" will occur.

"Should the U.S. and China end up in a shooting war over, say, Taiwan, Fufeng's property near the Air Force base could be used to send malicious signals to jam passing satellites or disrupt the operation of drones. We have made ourselves vulnerable on our own territory," he said.

Local activists remain diligent in their opposition, and their commitment to continuing the fight, Chang said.

And Weichert raised the issue of perhaps even worse problems. "What other purchases by foreigners have slipped through the cracks?" he said.


 

Today's Socialist Democratic Party Is A Kaleidoscope Of Bizarre And Destructive Cults

In the article below my signature block, ten destructive cults, which are being promoted by the Socialist Democrat Party, Marxists, and Communists, masquerading as science-based political movements, is a vast movement, bewildering Americans, and ever-expanding.    

To right-thinking Americans attempting to make sense of a nation gone mad with these far-left cults, it’s becoming increasingly clear that these irrational, deranged – and often demonic – political and cultural movements have been so readily capturing the minds of millions of young Americans that they have become nothing short of full-fledged deranged religious cults being promoted by the far-left of center media establishment.  

 

Cult Central is the nation’s far-left colleges and universities; in those colleges and universities, America’s next generation of citizens are being indoctrinated and misled daily through toxic, delusional and intensely guilt-producing Marxist ideologies that totally transforms the student to an individual that their mother and father no longer recognize.

 

It is no exaggeration to say these various far-left cults are destroying millions of American lives.  Sadly, some of the damage is irreversible, particularly in the lives shattered by gender recruitment cults that persuade teen girls to undergo “top surgery” (double mastectomies) and boys to be chemically or surgically castrated (“bottom surgery”).  Children whose lives were shattered by irreversible surgeries, have since matured and are now suing the people that led them astray and destroyed their lives.

 

Nevertheless, this wildly metastasizing panorama of leftwing cults is not the whole story – far from it.  However catastrophic and life-altering these various quasi-religious movements are to the individuals swept up in them and into American society, there is a larger, and even more shocking dimension to what is going on behind the scenes.  These cults are being promoted by Marxist and Communists to destroy America’s religions, the conservative normalcy, and the nuclear family that is the basis for a strong Patriotic culture.

There is a growing mental health crisis among children because of their indoctrination into these cults in grammar schools and by the left of center media establishment promoting these cults.  Parents have been taking their children to Pediatric Emergency Rooms because of attention deficit disorder, anxiety, impulsivity, disruptive disorder, etc. and the numbers of children diagnosed with these disorders have increased to 308,000/year increasing annually, at the rate of  8% per year.  

Ten of these cults are listed and briefly identified, and further analyzed and discussed much more thoroughly in the below listed article.  

 Climate Change Cult---7 out of 10 children fear the future, 4 out of 10 children refuse to bring children into the dangerous world because they are being brainwashed in school to believe there will be a world climate catastrophe.

 

Anti-Racist Cult---stating America is irredeemably racist forcing the indoctrination in Black Lives Matter and promoting the lie that police are racists (the USA is the least racist, most successful multi-ethnic society in world history).

 

Cult of Wokeness---intimidates millions into living in fear of saying, writing, or thinking the “wrong thing,” on threat of being shunned.

 

LGBTQ Cult---allows men to compete in women’s sports, forces young girls to share bathrooms with men, indoctrinates children in schools and libraries to experiment with gay sex, encourages children to change their sex.

 

Cult of Transgender--- based on absurdly unscientific, pathological, and demonic belief that gender is a state of mind, brainwashing minds, groomers captivating children, forcing the utterly deranged beliefs in sudden personality changes.

 

Gender Recruitment Cult---damage is irreversible, teen girls undergo double mastectomies and boys are chemically or surgically castrated.

 

Cult of Abortion--- in ancient times sacrificing children to demonic gods like Moloch and Baal was justified, because gods thus satisfied would reward the parents with prosperity and good fortune; the argument given for legalized abortion today.

 

Cult of COVID---crippled much of American society for 3 years, while shutting down churches nationally, the CDC changed the 100 years medical definition of “vaccine” to fit an unproven, ineffective, and dangerous experimental injection. 

 

Cult of Globalism---the Great Reset of Capitalism would cancel America’s way of life; Americans would be controlled by a world body that and would eliminate the 2nd Amendment, freedom of speech, and religious freedom. 

 

Tik Tok Cult--- hypnotic influence various TikTok personalities exert on adolescents, the unmistakable similarities to infamous cults and mass-hysteria episodes persuading children to identify as transgender and undergo surgical amputations. 

 

We encourage the reader to share this information on cults, designed to change America’s way of life, with those in your address book.

Today's Democratic Party Is A Kaleidoscope Of Bizarre And Destructive Cults

David Kupelian explores deranged religious movements created by the atheistic left

By David Kupelian
Published December 26, 2022 

 

In today’s America, the array of de facto cults masquerading as science-based political movements is vast, bewildering and ever-expanding:

There’s the “Climate Change Cult.” And the “Anti-Racism Cult” and the “Cult of Wokeness.” There’s the “LGBTQ Cult” and its out-of-control predatory offspring targeting America’s children, the “Cult of Transgender.” There’s the ever-more-strident “Cult of Abortion.” And the “Cult of COVID.” Overarching many of these, of course, is the “Cult of Globalism.” And there are many more, like the ever-expanding number of “TikTok Cults.” Every month the list grows.

To right-thinking Americans attempting to make sense of a nation gone mad, it’s becoming increasingly clear that these irrational, deranged – and often demonic – political and cultural movements that are so readily capturing the minds of millions of Americans are nothing short of full-fledged religious cults.

Their profoundly negative effects are inescapable: Repeated polls confirm that the “Climate Change Cult,” with its hysterical indoctrination of America’s school kids, has caused a staggering seven out of 10 young people to fear the future, so great is their concern that the world may soon come to an apocalyptic end. Four in 10 even say they will not bring any children into such a cursed and short-lived world. Never mind that 1,100 scientists and scholars recently signed a document affirming “There is no climate emergency.”

Meanwhile, the “Wokeness Cult” intimidates millions into living in continual fear of saying, writing or even thinking the “wrong thing,” on threat of being shunned, “cancelled,” ostracized from their peer group or fired from their job – a scenario jarringly reminiscent of the dreaded “thoughtcrime” accusation in George Orwell’s “1984.”

The “Cult of Abortion” is compared by many to the ancient “Cult of Moloch” because of the uncanny similarity between modern-day abortion and the ubiquitous practice of child sacrifice in the pagan world of old. In past millennia, sacrificing children to demonic gods like Moloch and Baal was justified by the belief that the gods thus satisfied would reward the parents with prosperity and good fortune. That’s precisely the argument given for legalized abortion today. Last May, testifying against the Supreme Court’s imminent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen insisted that eliminating or reducing women’s access to abortion would be devastating both to women and to America’s prosperity in general. “I believe that eliminating the rights of women to make decisions about when and whether to have children would have very damaging effects on the economy and would set women back decades,” Yellen said.

Then there’s the “COVID Cult,” which has crippled much of American society over the last three years. While shutting down real churches all over the country during the pandemic, the high priests of COVID founded their own religion. As with most faiths, the “COVID Cult” clearly differentiates between the clean and the unclean, the justified and the unjustified, the saved and the unsaved – or as they are better known, the vaccinated and the unvaccinated. The only problem is that their sacred ritual of internal cleansing, an act elevated almost to the level of holy communion, necessitated that the CDC quietly change the definition of “vaccine”  to fit an unproven, ineffective and dangerous experimental medicine the COVID priests still insist on administering to true believers – and their children.

Social Contagion And Brainwashing

Today’s cults share disturbing yet unmistakable similarities to infamous cults and mass-hysteria episodes of the past. For example, consider the hypnotic influence various TikTok personalities exert on adolescents, persuading many to “identify” as transgender and undergo surgical amputation of healthy body parts. Still other TikTok influencers, displaying their Tourette’s Syndrome on camera, have ignited a bizarre epidemic of teenage girls suddenly manifesting spontaneous Tourette’s tics themselves. There are few limits to this social contagion phenomenon, which Western medicine refers to as “mass sociogenic illness,” more commonly known as "mass hysteria."

Some of the behaviors and sudden personality changes – especially in the “Transgender Cult” where countless adolescents have suffered their minds to be completely captivated by groomers, mimicking their utterly deranged beliefs and statements – are even reminiscent of the infamous Salem witch trials of the late 1600s when girls suddenly started imitating the behavior of their peers and identifying innocent women as witches. Or the 1980s’ McMartin Preschool sex-abuse case, about which the "mainstream media" went bonkers, including the New York Times, which reported that “hundreds of children might have been molested and subjected to satanic rituals" at the California daycare center. Except they weren't. None of it actually happened, and after the longest and most expensive criminal trial in American history, not a single conviction resulted. But many young people, while in the grip of “mass sociogenic” influences, claimed a lot of horrendous things to police and investigators that were totally untrue, as some of the child accusers confessed years later.

Cult Central, of course, would be the nation’s far-left colleges and universities, which historian William Lind likens to “little ivy-covered North Koreas.” There, America’s next generation is daily indoctrinated in toxic, delusional and intensely guilt-producing Marxist ideologies that, in many cases, totally transform the student.

Case in point: Recently Manhattan resident Melinda Rockwell hired a cult deprogrammer for $300 per day to undo the “brainwashing” her daughter experienced courtesy of Mount Holyoke College, the famed $60,000-a-year Ivy League girls’ school in Massachusetts. During her time there, Annabella Rockwell was deeply indoctrinated with far-left ideology while being turned totally against her own parents, and was basically transformed, her mother later said, into a “very anxious, very nervous, very depressed and sad" would-be soldier for the woke revolution.

"She was no longer the Annabella I'd known all her life," Melinda Rockwell told the New York Post. "This girl was the most bubbly breath of fresh air to everyone. She lit up a room. But the light was stolen from her at that school. It was extinguished. It was no different than if she'd been taken away by the Moonies or the Children of God."

It’s no exaggeration to say these various far-left cults are destroying millions of American lives. Sadly, some of the damage is irreversible, particularly in the lives shattered by gender recruitment cults that persuade teen girls to undergo “top surgery” (double mastectomies) and boys to be chemically or surgically castrated (“bottom surgery”).

Nevertheless, this wildly metastasizing panorama of leftwing cults is not the whole story – far from it. However catastrophic and life-altering these various quasi-religious movements are to the individuals swept up in them, and to American society as a whole, there is a larger, and in some ways, even more shocking dimension to what is going on behind the scenes.

Never Let A Crisis Go To Waste

First, it’s essential to recognize that every one of these cults is a hoax, a fraud – a construct.

The “Anti-Racism Cult” is based on the proposition that America is irredeemably racist. But the USA is hands-down the least racist, most successful multi-ethnic society in world history, which is why it remains the world’s No. 1 destination for immigrants, legal and illegal. The “Cult of Transgender” is based on the absurdly unscientific, pathological and arguably demonic belief that gender is a state of mind, and that feelings, emotions, cravings and irrational compulsions comprise a legitimate and compelling basis for defining reality and one’s true identity. But that’s pretty much the definition of mental illness. And so on with the other cults.

However, if they’re all hoaxes and constructs, who constructed them? And for what purpose?

During the Obama administration, Americans often heard the expression “manufactured crisis,” a concept explained by Obama’s White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who said: “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that, it’s an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.” The clear implication is that, for the left, a crisis – whether real or manufactured – can be leveraged mightily to advance a secret agenda that society would otherwise resist or reject.

Thus it is that, behind every one of today’s cults is a supposedly apocalyptic crisis that isn’t real – literally a manufactured crisis. So, the crises of “America’s systemic racism,” of “near-term catastrophic climate change,” of “the war on women’s reproductive freedom” and so on are not real. They’re leftwing manufactured crises, the response to which is the creation of these revolutionary movements that amount to full-blown cults.

Marx’s Opiate

Karl Marx, whose ideas lie at the core of much of what today’s Democratic Party espouses – from “critical race theory” to its many attacks on the nuclear family – famously wrote that "Religion is the opium of the people" (often translated as "Religion is the opiate of the masses”). Even though Marx as a professed atheist detested religion – after all, his very next sentence was, “The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is required for their real happiness” – Marx ironically was responsible for creating the ultimate false “religion,” which has indeed served as “the opiate of the masses” ever since.

That’s right. Whether one calls it “Marxism,” “communism,” “socialism” or “progressivism,” or any of today’s more exotic terms like “wokism” and “anti-racism,” these labels are appealing because they confer a veneer of transcendent meaning and morality to the left’s perverse causes. Of course, the high priesthood of the various leftwing religious cults – i.e., university professors, academics and other Marxist ideologues and activists – are indeed enamored of leftwing causes and seem to truly believe they represent a roadmap for achieving a more just, equitable and enlightened society.

But the people actually wielding real power in America and the world do not believe in any of this. To them, these leftwing cults conveniently serve to disguise and distract “the rabble” from what the leader class is really up to, which of course is the pursuit of ever more power, wealth and glory for themselves, along with revenge on their enemies. Publicly espousing and embracing these various Marxist cults thus fosters the illusion that the leaders actually care about anybody or anything other than themselves. All of which is to say that the abundance of bizarre and dramatic Marxist cults dominating American society and media today serve as the real “opiate of the masses.”

Just as communist leaders throughout the last century, from Stalin to Mao, didn’t really and truly believe in “Marxism,” or a “classless society,” or “equality for all” or the wellbeing of “the working class,” these corrupt and sociopathic political criminals, each responsible for millions of deaths, were simply obsessed with their own power and privilege. Marxist ideology was just their moral fig leaf.

Likewise, in today’s America, leftist leaders don’t really believe in the secular religious sermons they preach. Barack Obama doesn’t truly believe America is an irredeemably racist country when it elected him as the first black president in U.S. history. And he doesn’t really believe “catastrophic climate change” is causing the oceans to disastrously rise, or else he wouldn’t have built a $12 million mansion right on the beach of Martha’s Vineyard, an island in the Atlantic Ocean. None of the elites truly believe fossil fuels are destroying the earth and that the vast peasant classes are all better off eating insects instead of meat, or else they wouldn’t fly hundreds of private jets to every climate-change conference held in exotic locales where they feast on the finest meats and seafood.

It’s all an act – for the sake of their own power, privilege and personal wealth.

So, what's the bottom line of the ruling elites, of the “Great Reset” globalists and all the power-obsessed political, cultural and corporate leaders who run America and much of the world, who somehow are able to deceive others as easily as breathing, and for whom nothing is sacred?

They believe in and serve only one religion and one god. Themselves.

And thus are they the most deceived of all, as they will one day realize.
