Secure Freedom Minute

We traditionally mark the peaceful transfer of presidential power by holding the inauguration on the steps of the U.S. Capitol.

Official narratives this week in Washington marking Jimmy Carter’s passing reflect a highly selective rendering of his White House years.

If the past is indeed prologue, his many grave mistakes must be recalled, not just his few positive achievements. Three debacles, and what has flowed from them, remain particular blights on our national security and the planet.

Carter’s administration embraced the Ayatollah Khomeini, only to see his revolutionaries hold Americans hostage, enslave the people of Iran under Sharia tyranny and foster jihadist terror worldwide.

As President Trump is warning, Carter surrendered the strategically vital Panama Canal, now in Chinese hands. Carter’s weakness encouraged the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, spawning five decades of chaos, war, and terrorism there.

Basically, the only thing one can say for Jimmy Carter’s presidency is that it wasn’t as complete a failure as Joe Biden’s.

As the days of what has purported to be the “Biden presidency” run out of the allotted time, its diabolical character is increasingly on display.

It seems that whoever is actually running the U.S. government – and the mere fact that we don’t know who it is says a lot about our parlous state – is lying to us, doubling down on policies explicitly rejected at the polls by a significant majority of voters and otherwise trying to screw up the incoming administration.

The question occurs: Does all this effectively translate into a coup against the Constitution and the peaceful transfer of power it prescribes? And, if so, are the people responsible capable of demonically and chaotically sabotaging at least the timing of Donald Trump’s inauguration, if not its actualization?

Unless they’re precluded from doing so, the record suggests the answer, frighteningly, is “Yes.”

In recent days, terrorists have violently attacked sites in New Orleans and Las Vegas. Communist Chinese hackers have gained access to the Treasury Department’s data.

And unidentified drones have been flying with impunity over some seventeen military bases and other sensitive real estate. At a minimum, they are likely spying on the facilities below but could be practicing attacks on those sites.

Meanwhile, a Pentagon report just revealed Communist China’s military build-up rivals Adolf Hitler’s. And we know how the Nazis’ unbridled war preparations ended.

These developments are among, conservatively, eleven threat vectors capable of causing chaos in this country before Donald Trump’s inauguration – possibly impacting its timing and the resulting transfer of power.

We need patriotic Americans to be alert to these dangers and crowdsource with their local authorities the situational awareness needed to mitigate them.

See something. Do something.

On August 15, 2016, then-Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump gave one of his best speeches ever. It addressed with clarity and courage the threat of “radical Islamic terrorism” and what we need to do to “defeat it.”

After New Year’s attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas, his analysis of the toxic ideological wellspring of ISIS and other jihadists, and his policy prescriptions for countering them,should be required reading – and the basis for immediate action.

We’re launching today a new Institute for the American Future to sponsor and maximize the impact of several groups anxious to help the new Trump administration take on such urgent tasks.

One called the Victory Coalition is dedicated to countering the ideology of radical Islam, best described as Sharia-supremacism.

Learn more about the Institute and how you can help the Victory Coalition at USFuture.org.
