Secure Freedom Minute

America’s most important ally currently is braced for an attack by Iran and/or its proxies. Thanks to Iranian arms transfers, Hezbollah alone can devastate Israel with many thousands of missiles capable of reaching all her territory.

 

Some of these weapons are believed to be capable of unleashing electro-magnetic pulses that could disrupt the Jewish State’s defenses and possibly devastate the power grid upon which both her military and civilian society depend.

 

The question occurs: What is the Harris-Biden administration doing to deter Iran?

 

While American forces in the region have been beefed up, the official U.S. line is that we’re just going to defend Israel like the last time Iran directly attacked her. Far more likely to prevent further retaliation would be our commitment to help Israel destroy the mullahs’ regime. They are likely to perceive anything less as greenlighting Iranian aggression, again.

Once upon a time, the United States government took seriously the idea that national security matters. Those with ties to America’s enemies were ineligible to hold sensitive posts, lest they imperil the country.

 

That sensible principle has been profoundly undermined during the three Obama-Biden administrations as numerous individuals involved with Russia, Iran, Cuba, Hezbollah, Hamas and most especially the Chinese Communist Party have nonetheless occupied senior government jobs.

 

One of those is Joe Biden, whose family knowingly took millions of dollars from Chinese intelligence. Another is his Vice President, Kamala Harris, a “red diaper baby” whose career and husband have long been involved with Maoists and the CCP. Yet another is her choice for Veep, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who has made thirty trips to Communist China and insists it’s no adversary.

 

We must reestablish vital security protocols while we still can.

Britain’s new leftist prime minister has responded to riots across his country by unveiling the expanded use of facial recognition, intelligence-sharing, “criminal behavior orders” and other surveillance techniques to restrict preemptively the movement and actions of opponents of the mass immigration that is radically transforming the U.K.

 

Where have we seen such practices relentlessly applied? They are the hallmark of totalitarian systems and have been comprehensively institutionalized by the Chinese Communist Party with its so-called “Social Credit System.”

 

The critical enabler to such a system is the requirement of digital ID cards. A newly adopted World Health Organization treaty supported by the Harris-Biden administration requires every nation to issue them – or, initially, paper ones – in the name of public health monitoring. Unless the U.S. Senate rejects this accord, we will be a pretext away from adopting, like Britain, the “China Model.”

The war on Judeo-Christian civilization has entered a new and possibly decisive phase.

 

Israel faces the distinct possibility of mass destruction at the hands of Sharia-supremacists in Iran and their proxies.

 

In the United Kingdom, a proto-civil war has broken out between natives and those who have immigrated there in vast numbers from nations where the law of the land is Sharia – the totalitarian operating code of authoritative Islam that such adherents hope to impose on Britain and the rest of the world.

 

And, as excommunicated Catholic Archbishop Carlos Vigano recently observed, the forces of evil used the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games in Paris to exult Satanism, blaspheme and revile those who worship God.

 

If we do not stand against these and other enemies of freedom and the Lord who gave us ours, we may soon be enslaved by them.

The Harris-Biden administration yesterday announced that Edmundo Gonzalez overwhelming defeated Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro in recent elections. Maduro insists that he won. It’s unclear what, if anything, the United States and its “international partners” will do to end the regime in Caracas that has long oppressed its own people and threatens ours.

 

After all, the devastation wrought by Maduro and his predecessor, Hugo Chavez, has been one of the “root causes” of dangerous illegal immigration here.

 

Although addressing such problems is the only part of Kamala Harris’ immigration czar portfolio she acknowledges, her response to date has largely been to perpetuate Maduro’s misrule – buying his oil, ignoring his strategically perilous ties to our enemies and allowing him to send operatives, criminals and much of the rest of his population to this country.

 

Help Venezuelans free themselves, and send Maduro’s illegal aliens home.

Former President Trump’s remarks to a group of black journalists yesterday focused attention on how Vice President Kamala Harris self-identifies. Unfortunately, that is not as what she is: namely, thoroughly dishonest.

 

Perhaps Kamala’s most dangerous untruths are those she repeatedly told about President Biden’s physical condition and fitness for office. For nearly four years, she has cited her proximity to and frequent interactions with him to deceive the American people about not only his health, but concerning who has actually been running the country.

 

Today, Harris and her partisans in the media are similarly gaslighting the public about her own fitness – notably, concealing her deplorable record in this office and previous ones, her Marxist Democrat policy preferences and her problematic intelligence.

 

With the country imperiled as never before by enemies foreign and domestic, we must have nothing but the truth.

Two assassinations in twelve hours have taken out top leaders of Iran’s proxy war against Israel. They also serve as a reminder that the Jewish State is fighting in that war not only her enemies, but ours.

 

Israeli forces eliminated in Beirut Fuad Shukr, a top commander of Hezbollah. They have yet to acknowledge a second air strike in Tehran that killed the head of the so-called “political wing” of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh.

 

Our government rightly deemed both of these jihadists to be terrorists. For four decades, Shukr has had the blood of U.S. Marines on his hands and now that of 15 Israeli children just killed on the Golan Heights. And Haniyeh was a Specially Designated Global Terrorist tied to the murder of seventeen Americans.

 

We had an interest in these monsters’ liquidation. Ditto in helping Israel win our common war.

For decades after World War II, the U.S. military was sensibly required to be able to fight and win two major wars in different parts of the world simultaneously. After Ronald Reagan bloodlessly defeated the Soviet Union, that requirement steadily shrank.

 

A new, congressionally mandated report says that, under the Biden-Harris administration, America’s armed forces are now not “prepared” to fight even a single major conflict. In the words of the Commission on the National Defense Strategy, “The U.S. military lacks both the capabilities and the capacity required to be confident it can deter and prevail in combat.”

 

Unfortunately, “not prepared” would be an even more apt description for our homeland security, thanks in part to the administration’s admission of countless thousands of Chinese soldiers and jihadists.

 

We must pray there’s time for accountability this November – and urgent corrective action thereafter.

There’s an increasingly obvious common-denominator to what’s going on throughout the world: Evil is on the march. Its object is nothing less than the destruction of the West’s Judeo-Christian civilization and nations – especially ours and Israel’s – in which it has both been rooted and flourished.

 

The demonic display in which transvestites obscenely mocked the Last Supper during the Olympics’ opening in Paris this weekend is a particularly vivid, if non-violent, example of the spiritual warfare now afoot worldwide.

 

Far worse is the actual and intensifying, murderous kind being waged by an alliance of totalitarians ranging from Communist China to Russia to Iran and their proxies.

 

Today’s “axis of evil” is also attacking free nations’ sovereignty and liberties with toxic “global governance” initiatives.

 

With God’s grace, good will yet triumph. We must pray He’ll do His part – as we mobilize to do ours.

Vice President Kamala Harris met yesterday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and, unlike President Biden who did the same separately, she spoke to the press afterwards. Kamala simultaneously acknowledged Israel’s right to defend itself and sharply denounced how the Jewish State is doing so.

 

Presumably her remarks played well with the pro-Hamas rioters who burned our flag and defaced our monuments in Washington on Wednesday. Indeed, some were reportedly bussed in from a campaign rally she had in Wisconsin the day before.

 

Courageous Muslim reformer Asra Nomani investigated the riot and quickly established that the busses and demonstration were organized by the “Red-Green axis” – notably, ANSWR, a North Korean-backed Marxist organization, and the Council on American Islamic Relations and other Sharia-supremacist front groups.

 

Kamala is to be commended for denouncing the rioters. Will she also disassociate herself from their organizers?
