Secure Freedom Minute

Memorial Day is dedicated to honoring the sacrifice of those who served and died so that the rest of us might enjoy the blessings of liberty. If the Chinese Communist Party has its way, though, this one might be our last.

That ominous possibility was a takeaway from a webinar last week featuring members of the Committee on the Present Danger: China discussing evidence that the CCP is now actively mobilizing for war. Particularly chilling is a videotape reportedly of a high-level planning session in China’s Guangdong Province indicating Chinese leaders are preparing to attack, not just Taiwan, but apparently us – and plan to do so within months.

Some are questioning the credibility of this video. Others, like Secretary of State Tony Blinken, act like it doesn’t exist. That’s malfeasant, and it will inevitably invite Chinese Communist aggression, to our mortal peril.

Memorial Day is more than just a time to remember the sacrifice of fallen American heroes. It’s a living testament to the essentiality of practicing “Peace through Strength” to prevent needless wars – and to win those we must fight.

Yesterday, Secretary of State Tony Blinken delivered a speech about China antithetical to that time-tested philosophy. He failed even to mention the unrestricted warfare the Chinese Communist Party has waged against us for decades, let alone the growing prospect of its imminent military action.

Instead, Blinken focused on “cooperation” and “competition” – the sort of submissive blather one would expect from the former director of the Penn Biden Center, which received some $54 million in anonymous Chinese donations.

Such pap bespeaks, at best, of what Dr. Bradley Thayer calls “the Fog of Peace.” At worst, it smacks of betrayal of more than Peace through Strength.

The global governance crowd is on a roll in destroying the sovereignty of nations like ours and freedoms guaranteed by our Constitution. The Global Resetters and their Chinese Communist allies have recently revealed three initiatives designed to catalyze a New World Order.

First, with the Biden administration's connivance, the World Health Organization is beavering away in Geneva on agreements that will empower its Chinese-appointed, Marxist director-general to dictate public health policies here and elsewhere.

Second, on Tuesday, China’s Alibaba conglomerate announced at Davos that it will produce a “personal carbon footprint tracker” to monitor everyone’s contribution to climate change – and everything else.

Then, yesterday, German-owned T-Mobile boasted at the World Economic Forum that the World Health Organization has selected it to provide universal Global Digital Health Passports, yet another building-block for insinuating worldwide China’s totalitarian Social Credit System.

God help us.

The convergence of the Communist and capitalist wellsprings of the new world order – and its ominous implications for Americans and others who love freedom – was on display in Davos, Switzerland yesterday.

At the globalist World Economic Forum, the Chinese Communist Party’s tech giant, Alibaba, unveiled the next big thing in the planet’s inexorable march to the Digital Gulag. It’s called a “personal carbon footprint tracker.”

Evidently, we need not be concerned that Alibaba is a key enabler of the CCP’s totalitarian surveillance state and its uber- Orwellian “Social Credit System.” That’s because, while this tracker will monitor your whereabouts, travel, personal consumption and behavior – offering you inducements to do “the right thing ” – there’s no reason to worry that all of that data will be collected and monitored by Communist China because, you see, it’s “green.” 

And you will like being green.

As Team Biden continues to flail publicly about what, if anything, it will do if the Chinese Communist Party attacks Taiwan, the CCP’s menace is becoming ever clearer.

A leaked video of a top secret meeting on May 14th shows leaders in Guangdong Province planning the transition from “normal to war.” And hacked Chinese police data confirms the CCP’s oppression and genocide of Uyghur Muslims and other minorities.

Such revelations should bring to a screeching halt efforts to get U.S. military personnel and other government employees to invest their retirement savings in Communist Chinese companies. But will it? It’s still possible to prevent the Thrift Savings Plan from inflicting a disaster on investors and a threat to our national security.

President Biden today explicitly declared that the United States would defend Taiwan in the event it is attacked by Communist China. As has happened before, however, the White House promptly walked back that statement, reestablishing the sort of official “strategic ambiguity” that at this point can only invite such Chinese aggression.

An even further inducement to the Chinese Communist Party’s belligerence is a move afoot in Washington and on Wall Street that would result in U.S. military personnel and other federal government employees helping pay for it. The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board is holding a public meeting tomorrow morning and – all other things being equal – it is expected to greenlight the investment of their Thrift Savings Plan accounts in mutual funds that will include CCP companies, even sanctioned ones.

Next week, the Biden administration intends to reward Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus, the Director-General of the World Health Organization, for arguably the most profoundly wrong – and deadly – public health misdiagnosis ever.

Team Biden wants the man who affirmed and enforced Chinese Communist Party lies about the Covid-19 pandemic it unleashed on the planet to be authorized to dictate what’s a “public health emergency of international concern” – and what affected nations must do in response.

Actually, history’s greatest public health emergency is Communist China’s illegal biological warfare program that spawned this pandemic. An avowed Marxist like Tedros, who helped foist the further, needless destruction of the so-called “China Model” of lockdowns, vaccine mandates and “passports” on the rest of us, should be prosecuted for his role in China’s present global genocide, not empowered to do worse in the future.

As we assess the immense damage being done to America’s international prestige and national security interests by Joe Biden’s wrecking operation, some negative consequences are self-evident. In short, this country’s enemies – notably, Communist China, Russia, North Korea, Iran and their Marxist allies in our own hemisphere – are emboldened and becoming more dangerous.

Less obvious, but no less problematic, has been the toll arising as allies and other partners adjust to the new reality of an irresolute, weakened and unreliable United States. Some have simply cut deals with adversaries from whom we used to offer protection. Others are actively considering how best to secure a nuclear deterrent of their own in the face of yawning uncertainties about the condition and sufficiency of ours.

Even NATO’s putative solidarity over Ukraine and possible further expansion are imperiled by Russia’s continued aggression and Turkey’s veto.

Paging “Pax Americana.”

Joe Biden and his partisans clearly think the American people are stupid. They relentlessly serve up patent untruths, then accuse their critics of engaging in “Big Lies.”

Take the President’s declaration in Buffalo yesterday that, “…Angry, alienated, lost, and isolated individuals [are radicalized] into falsely believing that they will be replaced…by the ‘other’ — by people who don’t look like them.” Actually, Americans correctly regard the Biden team’s “open border” policy as realigning the electorate, to make it more reliably Democratic. 

With fraud-prone mail-in ballots and locales like New York now giving non-citizens the right to vote within 30 days of getting there, the addition of millions of illegal aliens could offset the rising revulsion legal voters feel about Biden’s appalling record.

Calling people racists for objecting to such electoral skullduggery is not simply wrong. These deflections are incendiary and contemptible.

In the Navy, this moment would require klaxons to sound “General Quarters” in response to an emergency situation requiring all hands on deck. A webinar yesterday confirmed that America’s sovereignty is in imminent jeopardy, not because of enemy action, but at the hands of the Biden administration.

Specialists in medicine, human rights, diplomacy and investigative journalism and two former legislators told our Stop Vaccine Passports Task Force that – unless dramatic action is promptly taken – Team Biden will offer unvetted amendments giving an unaccountable, and deeply compromised, international bureaucrat authority over U.S. public health crises. What could possibly go wrong?

Video of the webinar will be available shortly at StopVaxPassports.org. As there isn’t a moment to waste, I urge you to go there today to send a personal message to your elected representatives telling them to stop the surrender of our sovereignty NOW.
