Victory Over Communism with Bill Gertz

This episode explores in detail one of the most important features of Marxist and communist ideology -- redefining terms. This practice has been a key element in deceiving tens of millions of people into accepting communism's false and quasi-religious beliefs. The counterproposal section presents a key element needed for countering Marxism-Leninism -- understanding the nature of the First Cause of the universe. The news section details how the Chinese Communist Party is using its United Front Work Department to infiltrate and influence state governments. The last portion of the podcast replays an important speech given in 2020 by then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on CCP targeting state governments for influence activities. A must-listening program!

China's Communist Party broke with the Soviet Union over the denunciation of Stalin in the 1950s and remains a Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist regime that regards its version of communism with Chinese characteristics as the only true ideology. In fact, Chinese communism remains as false and misleading as its Soviet progenitor. This episode looks at how the CCP continues to grapple with its faulty ideology and seeks to cover up its false tenets with new tools of obfuscation. The counterproposal section discusses how Chinese communism operates as a false religion, and highlights the need for the use of truth to counter its precepts. The news portion examines how the People's Liberation Army is supercharging its propaganda and influence operations on American social media with artificial intelligence. For the interview, I spoke with China expert Miles Yu, perhaps the world's leading expert in exposing the fallacies of Chinese communism. This episode is must listening!

The neo-Marxist assault on the institution of the traditional family is the focus of this episode. The current trend in advancing radical gender ideology in America is not an isolated progressive policy. It is rooted in Marxist theorists of the Frankfurt School. Those radicals adapted Freud's theories on the role of sex in human behavior and merged them with Marxism. The counterproposal section examines the role of the family as the foundation for a future God-centered world. The news portion looks at Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic nominee for vice president and his past relationship with China, a topic also discussed in my interview with China expert Bradley Thayer.

This episode drills down on the Marxist-Leninist concept of perpetual revolution which is a key driver in Chinese communism. Mao Zedong used this concept in launching the disastrous Cultural Revolution and now Chinese supreme leader Xi Jinping has embraced perpetual revolution in his drive to advance Chinese communism globally. The counterproposal section explains how the divisions in the world today between autocratic states led by communist China and democratic states led by the United States reflect a historical pattern of God's providence of restoring humankind. The news portion examines Beijing's choice for U.S. president and the interview section hears from the great writer and publisher Roger Kimball on the Democrats' devotion to socialism. A must-listening episode!

This episode provides the first public critique of a new U.S.-based communist movement that emerged in July. The Revolutionary Communists of America is a Trotskyite Marxist Leninist organization that rallied in Philadelphia and is vowing to overthrow the U.S. system of freedom and democracy and replace it with a communist regime. The counterproposal further expounds on how Judeo-Christian principles and values are the most effective way to neutralize American Marxism. The news portion examines the convergence between American communists and radical Islamists now promoting the terrorist group Hamas. Lily Tang Williams, a survivor of Cultural Revolution, reveals how American radicals are following Mao's playbook in a drive for power. A must listen episode!

To paraphrase Karl Marx and the Communist Manifesto, a specter is haunting China. It is the specter of Historical Nihilism. This episode reveals how the Chinese Communist Party is conducting a major Marxist-Leninist 'rectification' campaign to ruthlessly stamp out what it regards as a major ideological threat called historical nihilism -- code for anyone or anything that opposes Chinese communist ideology and is seeking to expose its murderous past. The counterproposal presents a Judeo-Christian counter to historical materialism, and the news section explores the new Cold War with China. The interview portion includes a segment from Chris Chappel's excellent program China Uncensored on how the CCP is redefining terms to promote its ideology. This episode is must listening!

This episode explores the history of American Marxism heavily influenced by radical  Saul Alinsky (1909-1972). His book Rules for Radicals remains a critical revolutionary tract outlining how to gain political power under the rubric of community organizing. A generation of leftist U.S. political leaders, including Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama,  are among his admirers.  Alinsky pioneered the Marxist technique of fueling social unrest, resentment and grievances in pursuit of  political power in America. The counterproposal section offers a Judeo-Christian alternative to Marx's historical materialism. The news portion looks at leftist policies under the Biden administration. The interview hears from Mike Gonzalez, co-author of the recent book NextGen Marxism: What It Is and How to Combat It. Must listening!

Chinese supreme leader Xi Jinping, a neo-Maoist orthodox communist, is reviving the false ideological precept that Marxism-Leninism is scientific. Boasting a doctorate in "scientific socialism," Xi is forcing this dogma on the 98 million members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) who are then spreading it worldwide as part of plans for overthrowing the U.S.-led system of democracy and free markets. For the counterproposal section, this episode further expands on what I'm calling the VOC world view that provides a powerful Judeo-Christian system of values and practice in seeking solutions to problems communism will never solve. The news portion is based on a report that explains the Marxist-Leninist underpinnings of CCP expansionism today and its goal of world domination. My interview is with Brad Thayer, co-author of the new book Embracing Communist China: America's Greatest Strategic Failure. Must listening!

U.S. intelligence obtained new details of subversion and political warfare operations in the United States by China's Ministry of Public Security, the political police and intelligence service of the Chinese Communist Party. An MPS defector for the first time provided direct evidence  of MPS operations aimed at sowing social divisions in America through anonymized Facebook posts. Targets included the 2022 elections, the origin of the Covid virus, attempts to whip up racial divisions by exploiting the George Floyd death anniversary, and other nefarious activities. The details are contained an FBI document submitted in federal court. The counterproposal examines the most important way to counter communism and Marxism through a God-centered worldview. The news portion reveals how Marxists are covertly attempting to take over the Democratic Party. The interview portion is with China expert Kerry Gershaneck, author of the book Political Warfare. Must listening!

This episode examines what I will call the non-kinetic threat posed by Chinese communism. That is, the diabolical nature of the anti-human theory and practice of Chinese Marxism-Leninism and how the current leadership in communist China is seeking to reimpose high-technology Maoist tyranny worldwide. The counterproposal section continues with a general overview of the VOC worldview that seeks to explain through Judeo-Christian principles where communist ideology is false -- such as the nature of people as spiritual as well physical beings. The news portion looks at a recent I wrote article on the Chinese military's secret development of marine toxins, and my interview is with Steven Mosher, a great China expert on his new book -- The Devil and Communist China. Must listening!
