Secure Freedom Minute

So-called “frontier” artificial intelligence is going rogue. Think of it as FrankenAI. 

Anthropic and OpenAI have both reported in recent days that their AI agents have autonomously attacked other organizations, apparently without authorization from humans or prior notice. 

The trouble is this is assuredly but a small foretaste of what is being unleashed. 

Leaders in the industry like Elon Musk have been warning for some time that the pell-mell pursuit of ever more powerful AI technology risks creating instruments for the destruction of civilization. 

The notion that we must do so lest we “lose the race” with Communist China, sets up a no-win nightmare: Either we create doomsday AI or they do, with the help of American big tech. 

We better hit “pause” on both our own headlong rush to create FrankenAI and stop enabling the CCP’s.

The Constitution of the United States is by its own Article VI the “supreme law of the land.” Yet, adherents to Islam’s political-military-legal strategy for conquest known as sharia are increasingly insisting that we accommodate their demands for it to be practiced here.

Doing so, however, would have the effect of directly undermining our Constitution and its preeminent status. Over time, the inevitable result will be to supplant the very foundation of our Republic and replace the God-given freedoms it guarantees with totalitarianism.

A profound question occurs – and must now be addressed: If sharia-adherent individuals seek elective office or are voted into such positions, how can they honestly swear to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic?

The simple truth is that they can’t. They should be deemed ineligible to serve, and prevented from doing so.

Dr. Anthony Fauci will be interrogated today by Senator Rand Paul and colleagues regarding the provenance of the COVID-19 virus and his role in its deadly rampage.

The Senator recently disseminated what he describes as the personal diaries of the former medical uber-bureaucrat who was lionized by millions for his purported heroic role in protecting the nation against that disease. The contents include incriminating evidence that “Fauci lied. People died.”

This will not be news to those who followed the extraordinary work of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Naomi Wolf and the team of volunteers who mined Pfizer’s damning internal documents. Ditto the Team B III book entitled China is at War with America which clearly established COVID was a Chinese bioweapon, deliberately sent here to kill Americans. 

Let Tony Fauci’s long-overdue trial at least in the court of public opinion begin.

Western Journal reports that seven Catholic churches in Minnesota are effectively going out of business, ending Sunday masses due to “declining attendance and a lack of priests.” 

It is predictable what will happen next. At least some of those churches will be purchased by Muslims and converted into mosques. Whether there are prospective congregants or not, sharia-supremacists in that state, and others across the country, are practicing the “build it and they will come” model of “settlement” in America.

An alarming BanSharia.com webinar last week described what is really going on here. In accordance with the Muslim Brotherhood’s playbook known as The Explanatory Memorandum, Islamic “societies,” “centers” and “mosques” are part of a “civilization jihad” aimed at “destroying Western civilization from within, by the hands [of the unbelievers] and believers.” 

We must stop enabling the build-out of sharia’s critical infrastructure of jihad.

Until Saturday, Charles “Sam” Faddis was, in my estimation, America’s greatest living patriot. Tragically, he has just joined the pantheon of previous generations who contributed greatly to making – and keeping – this country the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Sam’s passing after a very short illness, is a tragic loss on so many levels. 

He served in uniform and without one undercover for the CIA. 

In his post-government years, Sam continued to serve, notably lately through his intrepid and fearless reporting at AND Magazine, speeches and countless appearances on programs like “War Room” and “Securing America.” 

He pulled no punches and lit the way for constructive-course corrections on national security policy, election integrity and accountability for those responsible for often treacherous deviations.

America needs Sam Faddis now more than ever, and we will miss him profoundly.

Harry Truman’s presidency became for millions of Americans the answer to the question “Who lost China?” On his watch, enemies foreign and domestic cut off U.S. support for a friendly Chinese government, enabling Mao Zedong’s murderous take-over. 

Today, the answer to “Who lost South Korea?” may be Donald Trump unless he intervenes swiftly. 

After all, on his watch, a Communist there named Lee Jae Myung stole an election and is tyrannically transforming the country domestically and aligning it with our Chinese and North Korean enemies. 

Former Trump Ambassador Morse Tan has bravely opposed Lee’s election fraud and freedom-wrecking operation. He’s stuck in South Korea and under indictment for defaming the tyrant.

Before worse happens to Amb. Tan, the people of South Korea and our vital interests there, President Trump must forcefully engage directly with Lee Jae-Myung. There’s not a moment to lose.

There would never be a good time to lose as keen and courageous a Middle East hand as Shoshana Bryen. But this is a particularly bad moment, when America desperately needs deeply knowledgeable and well-grounded experts on that region’s troubled history, dynamics and often tragic missteps. 

Unfailingly, this late and longtime Senior Director of the Jewish Policy Center would address with clarity the vexing intersection of U.S. interests, challenges to Israel’s survival and the treachery of so-called Mideast allies like Qatar, Turkey and Pakistan. She would do so calmly, creatively and with a sort of gallow’s humor, speaking truth to power, whether solicited or not. 

Despite long-running health challenges, Shoshana served as a singular mentor, inspiration and resource for generations of legislators and other senior officials, academics and influential patriots. She will long and lovingly be remembered and deeply missed.

Iranian attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz has put into sharp relief both the costs of modern war in the age of proliferating drones and a fundamental principle dating to the beginning of our Republic.

From the get-go, Americans have fought and died defending freedom of navigation imperiled by British warships and Barbary pirates seizing our vessels and their crews.

Now, Iran’s allies in Yemen and China are also threatening that principle in the Red Sea’s Bab-el-Mandeb and in the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea, respectively. 

Much rides on whether we’ll demonstrate the ability to restore deterrence of such modern day piracy, or as some on Capitol Hill are demanding, cut and run. There will be few places to run – or sail – to if freedom of navigation is no longer exercised by us and our friends.

Each day offers new examples of America’s pell-mell rush to join Western European nations in surrendering to Islam’s stealthy conquest:

Democratic primaries across the country are nominating sharia-supremacists or Marxist-jihadists like Zohran Mamdani, largely thanks to Muslim bloc-voting.

Churches that are not mysteriously catching fire are being bought and transformed into mosques.

Farms and other properties are turning into Muslim-only communities – and, predictably, future no-go zones – like the notorious EPIC City in Texas. 

Now, Democratic legislators in Massachusetts want to establish a permanent “Government Islam Commission” to promote Muslims for state jobs and otherwise advance their sharia-adherent agenda. 

Unsurprisingly, such serial accommodations are emboldening the jihadists here, causing them to espouse ever more openly America’s submission to sharia.

It’s high time we say “No.” BanSharia.com.

Last night, the President of the United States addressed the nation to disclose previously classified evidence of enemies, both foreign and domestic, colluding to sabotage the 2020 presidential election. 

Particularly egregious is the Chinese Communist Party’s unrestricted electoral warfare aimed at terminating Mr. Trump’s presidency and replacing him with Joe Biden, who has accurately been described as a “controlled asset” of the CCP. 

Even more shocking are the findings of multiple official investigations that revealed intelligence and law enforcement agencies’ complicity in concealing such evidence from the Commander-in-Chief and his senior subordinates with a need-to-know of these enemy attacks and cover-ups. 

President Trump deserves great credit for insisting that this information be made available to the American people and their elected representatives while there is still time to take corrective action before the November mid-term elections. 

Make it so.
