Secure Freedom Minute

Sam Faddis is a brilliant veteran CIA spy whose life used to depend on his skill in compromising strategically placed individuals to advance our country’s interests – and discerning when enemies do it to harm them. When he says Joe Biden is the “Manchurian President,” it’s bankable.

Unfortunately, Mr. Biden is poised to meet virtually with Chinese dictator Xi Jinping. Xi long ago took the measure of his American interlocutor and knows him and his team to be weak, deeply compromised by China and willing to do its bidding.

So, if their meeting results in the unilateral abandonment of tariffs on the PRC, more transfers of our sensitive technology and perhaps a deterrence-eroding shift in U.S. nuclear use policy, it will not only further empower and embolden the most dangerous enemy we’ve ever faced. We will know that Joe Biden is betraying America.

The transnational criminal organization that is the Chinese Communist Party has just effectively elevated its top Mafioso to the status of emperor. That’s not good for the people of China or anybody else.

The so-called Sixth Party Plenum has rubber-stamped current dictator-for-life Xi Jinping’s status as equivalent to history’s most monstrous and murderous thug, CCP founder Mao Tse-tung. And it endorsed Xi’s agenda of “making China strong.”

In accordance with “Xi Jinping Thought” and his “China Dream,” that means acquiring and exercising the capability to dominate the planet and, in the process, destroy the United States and the rest of what’s left of the Free World.

Will we confront and counter Emperor Xi in time? Not if it’s up to a man aptly described as our Manchurian president, Joe Biden. So, it better not be left up to him.

President Biden will go through the motions today of honoring those who have sacrificed to defend this country and its Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Regrettably, his words and actions this Veterans’ Day will ring hollow since his administration has done unprecedented damage  to the legacy and present condition of our servicemen and women.

Consider, for example: Joe Biden’s humiliating surrender in Afghanistan; his radical, racist and anti-American indoctrination of the U.S. military and purging of warriors who reject it; Biden’s punishing of troops who decline to obey a reckless Covid-19 vaccination mandate; his enabling of enemies like Communist China; and his gutting of U.S. nuclear and other defense policies and programs.

Those who love our country and cherish the freedoms secured by our veterans – whether deceased, surviving or incipient –authentically honor and revere them. Sadly, Team Biden does not.

The Biden administration is picking up where Barack Obama’s left off in disastrously embracing the Muslim Brotherhood and other Sharia-supremacists. As Sen. Ted Cruz established last week, Team Biden has secretly withheld $130 million in foreign aid to coerce the Egyptian government to release sixteen imprisoned Brotherhood-tied prisoners.

Rather than liberate such jihadists, the Texas Senator correctly believes the United States should designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. He recently reintroduced legislation to that end.

Senators could, moreover, take immediate action to counter the Brotherhood and its subversive influence operations. Two Biden officials, Barbara Leaf and Rashad Hussein, await Senate confirmation to senior diplomatic posts. Those nominations should be put on hold until serious questions about their ties to and/or sympathies for the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood and its subversive Sharia agenda are satisfactorily addressed.

An aspect of the Biden administration’s Marxist wrecking operation that is now either directly or indirectly harming every American is its take-down of U.S. energy security. Instead of independence from unreliable, if not hostile, sources of energy, Biden’s team seems determined to increase our reliance on such sources.

For example, the White House confirmed yesterday that it’s reviewing the environmental grounds for shutting down yet another pipeline from Canada to the U.S. Such a step will likely make more urgent President Biden’s humiliating begging of OPEC to send us more of their fossil fuels.

At a minimum, it will increase the already soaring costs of energy here and intensify the stagflationary economic nightmare that has become a hallmark of the Biden presidency. Voting nationwide last week suggests that the American people want relief from such ideologically driven punishment, not more of it.

Two must-see TV programs that aired Sunday indicate there still is hope for America.

One was Mark Levin’s opening monologue during his Fox News program last night, the most important by a TV host in memory. He called the November 2 elections nationwide a growing “popular uprising” against “American Marxism” by “righteous people” who love this country and reject the racism, anti-Americanism and Trump-hatred of Democrats in Virginia and elsewhere.

The second was Fox News host Maria Bartiromo’s superb interview of former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe. He confidently predicted that formerly classified papers Special Counsel John Durham has publicly released – and “1000 others” still to come – would result in “many criminal indictments” for a documented plot by Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign and top Obama administration officials to perpetrate the Trump Russia collusion hoax.

Praise the Lord!

President Biden says he didn’t want to impose Covid-19 vaccination mandates – and with good reason. As three recent webinars at our www.StopVaxPassports.org site document, such mandates have: already traumatized our economy, catastrophically impacted our military and begun imperiling our children.

But these mandates are fundamentally about control, not public health. So, the Biden team is pressing ahead with compulsory jabs for both government employees and contractors and now over 80 million other private sector workers. Some are, for the moment, being allowed to test for Covid infections instead, but that exemption will inevitably be withdrawn in due course.

Talk show phenomenon Dan Bongino has courageously stood up to the vaccine mandate imposed by Cumulus, the syndicator of his immensely popular radio show. And he’s just launched a fund aimed at helping those punished for defying the mandate. Everyone should #StandWithDan.

A generation ago, the United States faced an implacable Communist foe determined to defeat us and dominate the world. Incredibly, the Soviet Union was effectively propped up by funding from the West.

President Ronald Reagan drew on the skills of financial warfare expert Roger Robinson to develop and execute a strategy for cutting off the USSR’s cash-flow. Once “the Evil Empire” was bankrupted, it collapsed almost immediately.

Mr. Robinson warns that today’s Communist threat from China is being underwritten on a vastly larger scale by us. On Maria Bartiromo’s Fox Business program Wednesday, he revealed that well over 5,000 unvetted Chinese companies get funds from our capital markets – even though every one is obliged to render support to the regime in Beijing and the danger it poses to us.

We literally can’t afford to enable our mortal enemy, the Chinese Communist Party.

If every American voter had been given the opportunity that those in Virginia had yesterday, it seems likely the message sent nationwide would be as stark as it was in the state that did so much to inspire and lead our founding revolution. That unmistakable message is that Joe Biden and his Democratic allies in Congress and state capitals have no mandate to “fundamentally transform” the United States of America.

That means: no mandate to bankrupt us with unsustainable new entitlements, other social spending or climate change requirements; no mandate for open borders; no mandate to make us dependent again for energy on unreliable suppliers; no mandate to submit to the Chinese Communist Party; and no mandate to compel first responders, health care workers, the military or children to be vaccinated against the virus unleashed by the CCP.

Let’s go Brandon.

The political world’s focus on today’s hotly contested election for governor of Virginia may obscure temporarily the launch of a riveting book about the previous presidential one.

Importantly, “Inside Trump Time” by his former advisor, Peter Navarro, hammers home a lesson directly relevant to the voting in Virginia’s Fairfax County and other Democratic strongholds. This insider account shows overwhelming turnout by legal voters, objective, real-time monitoring of polling operations and subsequent forensic audits to be essential to assuring election integrity.

Dr. Navarro’s personal journal also powerfully chronicles what he calls a “plague year” and policy fights over the Covid-19 crisis and the enemy regime that launched it against us, the Chinese Communist Party. And his documentation of the Trump administration’s economic, national security and strategic successes helpfully indicts the wrecking operation being inflicted on us by its Marxist successor.
