Secure Freedom Minute

Our new bestselling book, The Indictment, describes how our “captured elites” are selling out America to the Chinese Communist Party and must be prosecuted – at a minimum, in the “court of public opinion.”

Look no further than what went down Wednesday in San Francisco.

First, CCP “dictator” Xi Jinping met for hours with President Biden – a man who career CIA spy “Sam” Faddis correctly observes “works for” the Chinese Communists. Then, Xi dined with 400 of his “captured” leaders among this country’s elite businesses. 

A bipartisan blue-ribbon commission confirmed this week that Emperor Xi is readying his country and its military for a shooting war with us. Those helping them aren’t simply corrupt “useful idiots,” putting personal enrichment over our national security. They’re providing “aid and comfort” to our mortal enemy – the definition of treason – and must be treated accordingly.

Yesterday, President Biden held a long-awaited meeting with Communist China’s “dictator,” Xi Jinping. As expected, the two agreed to renew so-called military-to-military contacts. The problem is not actually a failure to communicate. Rather, it is the fact that Xi is relentlessly preparing for a shooting war with our country.

That reality makes all the more reckless the Biden administration’s other efforts in the name of “engagement” to prop up a Chinese Communist Party increasingly beset by potentially terminal political, economic and demographic crises.

Fortunately, at least it will no longer be compelling past and present military personnel and their civilian federal government counterparts to invest in China’s companies – including some manufacturing weapons intended to kill us. Their pension fund will henceforth be offering an investment platform that excludes Chinese and Hong Kong-based corporations.

The rest of America must disengage, too.

Yesterday, hundreds of thousands of us stood with Israel on the National Mall. We were treated to forceful speeches from the bipartisan congressional leadership, including this statement by the top House Democrat, Hakeem Jeffries: 

“Our commitment to Israel’s security is ironclad….Israel has an absolute right to defend itself against Hamas terror….We must stand with Israel in its effort to decisively defeat Hamas to make sure that this brutal terrorist regime can never rise again.”

Welcome as they are, such commitments by Mr. Jeffries and others on Capitol Hill will amount to empty – and deceptive – rhetoric unless backed up by action. Most immediately, Congress must act to prevent President Biden from releasing yet another $10 billion to Iran’s mullahs who fund Hamas and enabled its invasion of the Jewish State.

No actual friend of Israel would fund its enemy – and ours.

In Washington today, Americans standing with Israel will rally on the National Mall. Their purpose is to speak for the vast majority of us who reject the narratives relentlessly promoted by our enemies in the jihadist Muslim Brotherhood and allied Marxist groups, here and abroad. 

In particular, the latter insist the Jewish State is engaged in genocide. Yet, they support – and relentlessly endorse – the truly genocidal goal of Hamas, namely eliminating Jews “from the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea.”

In fact, supporters of Hamas not only effectively endorse the anti-Semitic violence it relentlessly unleashes on Jewish civilians and decry Israel’s justified efforts to prevent more. They also ignore the jihadists’ murderous mistreatment of Gazan civilians reduced to human shields for underground command centers and firing positions in hospitals, schools and refugee camps. 

Stand with Israel and against its enemies – and ours.

On Wednesday, President Biden will dignify a serial strategic arsonist with a meeting in San Francisco. Worse yet, he’s expected to reward Chinese dictator Xi Jinping – who apparently greenlighted invasions of Ukraine by Russia and Israel by Hamas – with promises of intensified “engagement” with America. 

Incredibly, yet another bail-out of Xi’s failing Chinese Communist Party comes as it prepares to ignite “tinder” the CCP’s created here over decades of “unrestricted warfare” against us – notably by: hollowing out our industrial base; attacking us with a biological weapon; dividing us with cultural Marxist initiatives like racist “diversity”; and “capturing” elites supposed to protect us against such assaults. 

Even now, Xi is weaponizing TikTok literally to inflame support for Hamas and smuggling in military personnel to light his next fire across America on command. 

We should be prosecuting this arsonist, not further enabling him.

It seems appropriate that we technically have two Veterans Days this year because – whether we know it or not – a lot more Americans are likely soon to be veterans as we have entered World War III.

Arguably, that is because we have failed to remember three fundamental principles we should have learned from all our previous wars:   

First, “peace through strength” works. Alternatives do not.

Second, if you treat your enemies better than your friends, you will not only have more enemies. They will be at your throat.

And third, there are such things as “enemies within.” 

The three Obama-Biden administrations have succeeded in “fundamentally transforming” America by – among many other wrecking operations – abandoning these principles. They have: systematically weakened us; empowered and emboldened our foes; and actually proliferated our enemies inside this country.

Honor our veterans, and prepare to join them.

Wartime leaders from Abraham Lincoln to Franklin Roosevelt have warned against changing horses midstream. In the midst of the war inflicted by Hamas, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confronts a concerted effort to shoot his “horse” out from under him. That would be a grave mistake for the Jewish State, and America.

In fact, Bibi’s political adversaries at home and their allies on Team Biden were determined to remove him from power well before the jihadists’ October 7th  invasion. When relentless prosecution on corruption charges proved unavailing, his opponents: took to the streets to block necessary reforms of Israel’s judiciary; undermined military readiness; and talked up overthrowing his elected coalition government.  

Our most important Mideast ally’s very survival depends upon Israel’s decisive victory over her Sharia-supremacist enemies – and ours. Bibi Netanyahu is determined to achieve it, and we must help him succeed.

This is Frank Gaffney.

Well, that didn’t last long.

Joe Biden spent the first two years of his presidency undermining Israel, sabotaging its government and emboldening its enemies. Such behavior contributed to the perception that the Jewish State could be attacked with impunity. 

After that horrifically occurred on October 7th, Biden publicly pledged to “stand with Israel.” Even those of us who doubted he actually meant it prayed he would do so in an enduring way. It turned out to last a month.

Yesterday, the President revealed he is demanding that the Israelis allow a “humanitarian pause” in Gaza. That will please his administration’s roughly 70 Muslim Brotherhood-aligned officials who are insisting that America, as a practical matter, save Hamas. Far from catalyzing peace, however, it will further conduce to wider and more dangerous attacks on our ally, Israel – and, inevitably, on us.

Last week, FBI Director Christopher Wray warned that the United States faces a threat of terrorist attacks at “a whole other level,” but shockingly testified that “we’re not tracking” those posing such a threat here.

Todd Bensman is an expert on jihadist penetration of our southern border. In the New York Post, he recently reminded the FBI that in connection with the successful 2008 prosecution of a Hamas fundraising operation known as the Holy Land Foundation, the federal government produced what was called “Attachment A.”

It identified 246 “unindicted co-conspirators” associated with the Foundation, Hamas and/or its parent organization, the Muslim Brotherhood. Reportedly, this roster was intended for the next stage of prosecutions. But the election of Barack Obama, who openly supported the Brotherhood, foreclosed that necessary action. 

Memo to Chris Wray: Start tracking – and prosecuting – those on Attachment A.

This week, the arsonist who runs the world’s largest Transnational Criminal Organization and is personally responsible for serially lighting strategic “fires” that portend a global conflagration comes to America. 

That would be Chinese dictator Xi Jinping and he’ll visit with President Biden in San Francisco. Their meeting may be even more fraught than the one in Munich eighty-five years ago when Adolf Hitler concluded he could aggress with impunity, given Neville Chamberlain’s weakness. 

Tragically, Biden’s enfeebled condition and status as a “controlled asset” of China make Chamberlain look like Churchill.

Worse yet, the CCP arsonist has been sparking fires here, too. To cite but one example, his addictive, manipulative and massively popular app known as TikTok has been encouraging pro-Hamas agitation across the country – including a vandalous assault on the White House.  

Xi should be prosecuted, not incentivized to further aggression.
