October 08, 2024 Is the "Great Walz of China" a "Mortal Threat to Us All"
The Chinese Communist Party is America’s enemy. It explicitly seeks the destruction of our country.

We’ve just learned that Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz was paid by the CCP to arrange as many as thirty trips to China for himself and young, impressionable American kids. Former CIA undercover operative Sam Faddis – who used to recruit and run spies for America – describes Walz as a valuable “access agent” for Chinese intelligence.

Walz began his intimate association with Communist China when he was a National Guardsman assigned to a nuclear artillery unit. He has since worked with various CCP influence operations here, including one the State Department says is “aimed at exerting direct and malign influence on state and local leaders to advance China’s global agenda.”

Sam Faddis believes “the Great Walz of China” is a mortal threat to us all. Do you?

October 07, 2024 The Lesson of October 7th - There's No Substitute for Victory
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

One year ago today, Israel was murderously attacked by thousands of Sharia-supremacists from Gaza, including large numbers of civilians as well as Hamas terrorists with training and weapons provided by Iran.

Today, the war thus launched has devastated what amounted to a “Palestinian state” in Gaza and the Hamas crime syndicate that relentlessly used it as a platform to try to destroy the Jewish one.

Israel is now in the process of doing the same to areas of Lebanon controlled by Iran’s foreign legion, Hezbollah. The jihadists’ use of civilians to shield their operations in both places has resulted in regrettable collateral damage. But the prospect of their liberation offers a chance for a far better future.

That will require Israel to address, as well, the source of all these problems: namely, the Iranian regime.

There can be no substitute for victory.

October 04, 2024 Oh, Canada - Its Problems Will be Ours
We take for granted that Canada is a reliably benign partner in trade and national security. Under its increasingly Marxist prime minister Justin Trudeau, however, it has become a petri dish for repressive governance at home and threats from foreign powers and illegal aliens that make our open northern border a grave liability, too.

Trudeau openly admires Communist China and has allowed into Canada six million immigrants, many from there.

Border expert Todd Bensman reported recently on terrorist plots emanating from our northern neighbor. A September symposium there warned of growing threats from Russia and China in the Arctic – and the appalling lack of needed U.S. and Canadian defenses. And freedom of speech is under relentless attack by the government and parliament.

In due course – if not quite soon – these will be our problems and can no longer safely be ignored.

October 03, 2024 Where's the Steady Leadership Been on Iran?
The Iranian regime yesterday blanketed Israel with 180 ballistic missile strikes. Afterwards, Vice President Kamala Harris declared, “Iran is a destabilizing, dangerous force in the Middle East….We will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend U.S. forces and interests against Iran and Iran-backed terrorists.”

Welcome as such statements are, they starkly contrast with her administration’s fixation from its inception with enriching, empowering and emboldening Iran – policy malfeasance that predictably contributed to today’s disastrous regional reality.

As the Veep herself said: “Iran is not only a threat to Israel. Iran is also a threat to American personnel in the region, American interests, and innocent civilians across the region who suffer at the hands of Iran-based and -backed terrorist proxies.”

The U.S. government must now help Israel destroy that threat, or get out of the way.

October 01, 2024 Why Tonight's Veep Debate Matters Uniquely
We’re told vice presidential debates don’t influence the outcome of presidential elections. Tonight’s should be an exception.

For one thing, additional assassins are reportedly hunting the top of the Republican ticket, making the readiness of Donald Trump’s running mate, J.D. Vance, to step up at any moment a matter of surpassing importance.

For another, this debate presents a unique opportunity to address an issue on which the two candidates differ profoundly. Democrat Tim Walz has a lifetime of extensive personal and professional connections to Communist China and rejects the idea that it’s an adversary. Senator Vance strongly disagrees.

A very timely webinar at 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time today will explore how Chinese Communists and their friends use three Maoist “magic weapons” – propaganda, lawfare and front groups – to shape our perceptions of, and responses to, the China threat. Join us at PresentDangerChina.org.

September 30, 2024 Will Tomorrow Night's Debate be a Tale of Two "Little Red Books"?
Tomorrow night’s vice presidential debate should be a tale of two “little red books.” Democratic candidate Tim Walz has collected and disseminated the one by Chinese Communist Party founder, Mao Tse-tung. His Republican opponent, J.D. Vance would be well-advised to draw on a new one being published tomorrow by the great Gordon G. Chang.
Chang’s book is entitled “Plan Red: China’s Project to Destroy America.” That actually was Mao’s plan – one now weaponized against us to the point where my friend, Gordon, arguably our country’s preeminent authority on the CCP, persuasively warns we face imminent shooting war at its hands.
If that were not sufficient reason for American voters to hear much more about this topic, the two veep candidates have profoundly differing life experiences with Communist China – Walz’s long, personal and favorable; Vance’s scarred, strategic and hostile.
Let the debate begin!

September 26, 2024 Should We Continue Distributing the Secure Freedom Minute
I am sorry for not being in the best voice at the moment but I have an important message. For years, I have been using this platform to share my thoughts about national security challenges of the day and what we should be doing about them. It’s been a privilege to encourage our listeners to take action in creative ways that can make a difference to our country’s future.

There have been developments that may mean we have to end this public service. I am reluctant to do that, especially in the immediate run-up to a critically important election.

So, I’d like to ask for your help in making the decision about whether to continue distributing the Secure Freedom Minute. Please send me your thoughts via the Comments section at the SecuringAmerica.TV website.

Either way, I want to thank you for listening. You’re the reason we reach out and I very much hope we’ll be able to continue to do so.

September 25, 2024 Hezbollah is Engaged in Terrorism, Not Israel
In recent days, Israel has conducted history’s most humane, discriminating and militarily successful attack on thousands of terrorists deeply embedded in a civilian population. It did so by turning pagers and walkie-talkies into precision weapons. Middle East expert Michael Doran calls it “Operation Grim Beeper.”

The genius of the Israeli strikes is that the enemy actually did the targeting for the Jewish State. Hezbollah only gave its most important commanders and operatives these communication devices. Once the jihidists realized the extent to which their systems are compromised, they were reduced to meeting face-to-face, affording Israel an opportunity to take them out with more traditional techniques.

So why would Leon Panetta, a top national security Democrat, say that Israel is engaged in “terrorism”? Evidently, like many others in his party, he wants Israel to lose. Fortunately, most Americans disagree.

September 23, 2024 The UN Transforms Itself into a World Government
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

On Sunday morning, the United Nations adopted without debate a “Pact for the Future” that includes a mandate for the organization and its Secretary-General to manage “complex global shocks.”

While the language employed misleadingly obscures the true purpose of this new charter, it is clearly to turn the United Nations into a world government.

That’s because, with strong support from the Harris-Biden administration, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres intends to obtain the authority automatically to order responses to climate change, pandemics, commercial disruptions, cyberattacks, asteroids and any other so-called “black swan events.”

Israel will likely be impacted first by the new Pact’s explicit inclusion of certain “conflicts” in its mandate since the UN effectively ordered her to disarm last week.

Make no mistake, however: The globalists’ world government – which Americans neither support nor approved – will be coming for our sovereignty and freedoms, too.
