Secure Freedom Minute

On Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer tore into Fox News host Tucker Carlson for airing clips from official videos that reveal the events of January 6, 2021 did not amount to a “violent insurrection.”  

The now-available evidence establishes that, compared with what Democrats and their media proxies insisted were “mostly peaceful demonstrations” as Black Lives Matter and Antifa mobs sacked cities across the country in 2020, violence in the Capitol that day, while deplorable, was exceptional, limited and at least some of it apparently caused by provocateurs.  

Sen. Schumer declared, “When people don’t believe elections are on the level, that’s the beginning of the end of this bold experiment in democracy.” Actually, the beginning would be when, as in 2020, the public has abundant reason to believe elections are not free and fair – notwithstanding “Big Lies” from him and other partisans.

The Wall Street Journal disclosed this week that the Chinese Communist Party has again penetrated our country, this time in a way that is far more dangerous and difficult to counteract than its recent spy balloon escapade.

Giant Chinese-supplied cranes used to move containers at ports across the country lend themselves to intelligence collection and disruptions. What could possibly go wrong, especially in the event of conflict?

 

The short answer is: Plenty. Worse yet, our dependency on such cranes is just one example of our insane practice of putting equipment from China in our critical infrastructure. Possibly even more catastrophic is our reliance on some 400 Chinese high-voltage transformers now integrated into our electric grid.

 

Mr. Trump promised Saturday that, if reelected, he would propose a four-year plan to wean ourselves off of “essential goods” from China. That must start now.

About ninety minutes into an epic CPAC speech on Saturday, Donald Trump declared anew that the United States must withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party-controlled World Health Organization, better known as the WHO. 

In classic Trumpian fashion, he said those letters stand for “We Hide Outbreaks.” Alternatively, there’s “We Help Othering” or “We Host Operations.”  

The WHO has reliably done all three for the CCP – at horrific cost to Americans and others. It lied about the nature of the COVID-19 virus. It justified the divide-and-conquer technique that “othered” the unvaccinated. And it systematically promoted the totalitarian “China Model” of lockdowns and jab mandates that crushed our economy, stole our freedoms and helped defeat President Trump. 

Now, the Chinese Communists and Team Biden want to give the WHO even more control over us. We must leave it now.

The Biden administration is currently consumed with a war it failed to deter in Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Team Biden’s willful blindness about a far greater threat – namely, the Chinese Communist Party and its determination to dominate the world – risks a failure to deter the CCP from opening a second front in the Pacific. It could begin at any time, perhaps with a distracting attack by North Korea on its neighbors and our forces on their territories.

Worse still, yet another war front looms. Thanks to two years of delusional Biden diplomacy that simply bought time for Iran to complete its nuclear weapons program, the mullahs are now assessed to have enough highly enriched uranium to get the Bomb within days.

For over four decades Iran’s regime has promised “Death to Israel” and “Death to America.” Will Joe Biden fail to deter that, too?

A team leader named Dr. Chris Flowers investigating corporate documents concerning Pfizer’s COVID “vaccines” just warned that these drugs “look like targeted weapons towards working persons and more towards…working women…affecting… birth rates…and our populations over time.”

 

This revelation comes as the Biden administration secretly negotiates to empower the World Health Organization to dictate our future public health policies and practices. That’s the organization that helped impose mask, lockdown and vaccine mandates for COVID at the direction of the Chinese Communist Party – and to the grave detriment of our physical wellbeing,

economy and freedoms.

 

Our only hope to prevent a new and far more dangerous health tyranny, the end of our sovereignty and constitutional Republic is to withdraw from the WHO. Given such stakes, Congress must make doing so a condition of any further increase in the national debt ceiling.

On Tuesday night, the new House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party threat held its first hearing. An indication of the panel’s promise came from an unlikely source: The PRC “demand[ed]” that it “stop denigrating the Communist Party of China.”  

Beijing is terrified at what the Committee has a unique opportunity to do – and seems set to accomplish – namely, not “denigrating” the CCP, but delegitimating it.  

The Committee can quickly establish that the Chinese Communist Party is, actually, a Transnational Criminal Organization. It must be prosecuted, starting in the court of public opinion, for its war crimes against this country and other crimes against humanity. This is the object of my forthcoming book: The Indictment. 

To perform this vital mission, the Committee must expose not only the CCP’s “unrestricted warfare” against us, but also those  American elites helping it succeed.

In the intelligence business, “indicators and warnings” aregenerally relied upon to predict dangerous developments. Rarely, does a senior intelligence professional publicly warn that his nation is “blind” to key indicators of impending disaster.

Yet, that is precisely what Rear Admiral Michael Studeman, the U.S. Navy’s top intelligence officer, did on February 15 th with a speech in which he described a dangerous condition afflicting our leaders and people. He called it “China-blindness.” He observed, “It’s very unsettling to see how much the U.S. is not connecting the dots on our No. 1 challenge….It’s disturbing how ill-informed and naive the average American is on China.”

 

A prime-time hearing tonight by the new House Select Committee offers an opportunity to lay out the actual indicators that the CCP is at war with America. Let us pray its warnings are heeded in time.

Rep. Kevin McCarthy pledged to voters last fall that, if the Republicans won the House, they would address the mortal threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party. He promised to create a special committee to lead that effort.   

Last month, the “Select Committee on the Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party” was duly established under Chairman Mike Gallagher. The question now is: Will it do the job?  

There was an ominous development over the weekend. On Sunday, Rep. Gallagher seemed to take off the table what is arguably the single most important matter to be investigated – namely, the extent to which American elites have been “captured” by the CCP and are now playing for the other team. He declared that “questioning anybody’s loyalty to the United States…is beyond the pale.”  

CCP-captured elites must be exposed, not protected. 

This is Frank Gaffney.

The hallmark of a Communist regime is the presence of political commissars throughout every government agency. Their sole responsibility is to assure the faithful compliance of the bureaucracy to the dictates of the Leader.

 

Joe Biden recently issued an Executive Order designed to establish what amount to commissars throughout the U.S. government. They will run so-called “Agency Equity Teams” to advance “racial equity and support for underserved communities.” They will also coordinate with the White House Gender Council, and their agencies designated “environmental justice officers” and “diversity officers.”

 

The top commissar overseeing this transparently political enforcement agenda will be Biden Domestic Policy Advisor Susan Rice. Her political discipline was evident in the Obama years when she declared five different times on national television the Obama team’s false party line about the murderous jihadist attack Benghazi.

 

If Congress fails to defund this totalitarian apparatus now, we can kiss our accountable, constitutional Republic goodbye.

Even though Michele Bachmann is no longer a conservative leader in Congress, she continues to strive to protect our country from all enemies, foreign and domestic. 

In a great new interview with “Economic War Room” host Kevin Freeman, Ms. Bachmann warns about an impending, stealthy and disastrous surrender of American sovereignty by Joe Biden. His administration is negotiating to make the World Health Organization’s discredited, Communist Director General the sole and compulsory arbiter of what constitutes a “public health emergency.”   

Worse yet, just about anything – from climate change to guns to racism – can, and will, be considered such a health crisis.  

We must prevent the World Health Organization and its masters in Beijing from compounding what they did to us during the COVID pandemic by withdrawing from the WHO and impeaching Joe Biden and anyone else who would give it control over our lives.
