DISCUSSION

 

China’s Marxist war against humanity is being waged on virtually every front imaginable. This Global War is political, legal, economic, technological, educational, psychological, cultural, and militaristic, with propaganda, espionage, and surveillance as key weapons. China’s Marxist war against humanity is fought with patience and the understanding that victory can be theirs through either internal of external actions exerted against their foes. Marxists around the world view the United States as their greatest foe. Joseph Stalin said, America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within. In the United States, the left has been following this strategy for at least 100 years.

MARXIST PHILOSOPHY

Ideologies and governance of the systems on the left are based on Marxist philosophy. Marxist philosophy predicts that societies will evolve into societies where all will share equally in all the benefits of society regardless of their willingness or ability to contribute to the good of society. Wealth will be shared equally among all members of society from each according to their ability to each according to their need. To accomplish this lofty goal, individuals must sacrifice themselves to the good of the collective or society. The cost of this sacrifice is a loss of individual freedom. Historically, no society has ever accomplished this utopian vision for their Marx based society, and their people suffer. Throughout their history, Marxists have characterized themselves as Marxists, communists, or socialists depending on political expediency, cultural trends, and acceptance. After the Communist Revolution in Russia, the terms communist and socialist lost favor and became a political, social, and economic liability in Western Europe and the United States. The ideologies and governance systems underpinning the right are Judeo-Christian values, Adam Smith style capitalism, and democratic republican constitutional systems like we have in the United States.

For the purposes of this discussion, global political socio-economic systems are characterized as a linear left to right continuum. The systems and ideologies on the left include far left, dictatorial atheistic communist or socialist regimes, democratic socialists, progressives, liberals, and, in the United States, moderate Democrats and Republicans In Name Only, RINOs. The farther to the left the system or ideology is on this continuum, the quicker the practitioners will lead their societies to governance based on Marxist philosophy. The left vehemently disagrees with the assertion that their philosophical roots are Marxist because that associates them with communism and socialism. However, some younger activists on the far left in the United States are embracing and touting their Marxist, communist, or socialist roots. In my opinion, theocratic or dictatorial Islamist ideology and regimes, Islamists, belong near the far left of the political continuum.  For Islamists, the individual must be subservient to the good of Islam

sacrificing their personal freedom as with individuals espousing Marxist ideology. The fact that Islamists are not atheists is not relevant; it is the role of the individual and freedom that places Islamists on the far left of the political continuum.

WAR, WARFARE, AND CONFLICT DEFINED

For this discussion of Marxism’s war on humanity all connotations of war,warfare, and conflict must be considered. Merriam Webster’s on-line dictionary will be used to define these terms. War is defined as follows:

Noun:

“A state of usually open and declared armed hostile conflict between states or nations or a period of such armed conflict,

A state of hostility, conflict, or antagonism, a struggle or competition between opposing forces or for a particular end [such as] a class war [or] war against disease.”

Verb:

“To be in active or vigorous conflict or to engage in warfare.

Warfare is defined as follows:

Military operations between enemies; hostilities,

an activity undertaken by a political unit (such as a nation) to weaken or destroy another [such as] economic warfare,

Struggle between competing entities: conflict.

Conflict is defined as follows:

A struggle, fight, or battle for power or property,

Strong disagreement between people, groups, etc., that often results in angry argument,

A difference that prevents agreementdisagreement between ideas or feelings,

Competitive or opposing action of incompatiblesan antagonistic state or action [between] divergent ideas, interests, or persons, a conflict of principles,

Mental struggle resulting from incompatible or opposing needs, drives, wishes, or external or internal demands.

Although Marxist nations have engaged in all the activities described in the above definitions, the most ominous aspect of Marxism’s war against humanity are Marxist, communist, former communist, socialist, and Islamist nations preparing their military forces and arsenals for war, armed conflict, against the non-Marxist or non-Islamist nations of the world. The most threatening nations in this category are the Peoples Republic of China (PRC), and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), China’s ally North Korea, Russia, under the former, Communist, Vladimir Putin, and the Islamist state of Iran. These four nations pose the greatest threat for war with the other nations of the world and all of humanity.

A BRIEF INTERNAL HISTORY OF CHINA’S MARXIST WAR AGAINST HUMANITY

China, the PRC, under the leadership of the CCP has been preparing for their role in China’s Marxist war against humanity since before the 1911 Xinhai or Hsinhai Revolution. The revolution ended 2,132 years of imperial rule in China and 276 years of the Qing dynasty. On January 1, 1912, the National Assembly declared the establishment of the Republic of China following the abdication of the last Qing emperor. After a period of political instability, the Chinese Nationalist Party (CNP) also known as the KMT founded by Sun Yat-sen gained power in China and admitted Chinese Communists into the CNP. Sun appointed Chiang Kai-shek  to build China’s  military; and after visiting the Soviet Union, Chiang adapted the Soviet military methods for the Chinese army but did not embrace communism. After Sun’s death, Chiang gained control of the CNP and China following the brutal expulsion of theA painting of mao zedong in front of the communist symbol. CCP from the CNP leading to a civil war in China which paused only to unite China in its war against Japan during WWII. After the defeat of Japan, China’s civil war resumed. The PRC and CCP led by Mao Zedong and his peoples Liberation Army (PLA) defeated the CNP in 1949. Chiang Kai-shek, his army, and followers were driven onto the Island of Taiwan where they remain to this day.

A map of china with major ethnic groups.Since the vast majority of the Chinese people are ethnic Hans who speak Mandarin and occupy the largest land mass in the PRC, Mao consolidated power in main-land China by suppressing or defeating the other ethnicities. The other ethnic groups occupying largest land areas on the PRC include Mongolians, who live under PRC control outside Mongolia, occupy the fourth largest land mass in the PRC. Tibetans and Uyghurs occupy the second and third largest land masses in the PRC respectively.

In my opinion, China poses a greater threat to the United States and our allies than Russia. However, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has drastically increased the possibility of war in all Europe. During the post WWII, cold war, half of the twentieth century, Russia, and China took two different approaches toward world domination. Russia took a militaristic approach, while China and the CCP took a mostly non-militant approach to world affairs during the latter cold war period. The two exceptions were their intervention supporting North Korea during the Korean War and their invasion and conquest of Tibet in the early 1950’s. During the remainder of the twentieth century, the CCP concentrated on international diplomacy and the countries economic and technological development, global trade agreements which opened the billion people of China as a market for the rest of the world and financed sustainable expansion of their military. These actions included the 1978 Open-Door Policy, 1979 establishment of full diplomatic relations with the United States, 1983 US State Department classification of China as “a friendly, developing nation,” 1986 elevation to observer status within the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, GATT,  that promoted trade and economic development. GATT was superseded by the World Trade Organization (WTO) . In 2001, China was admitted into the WTO with friendly developing nation status giving China enormous economic advantages in competition with developed nations like the United States. These CCP policies allowed China to become one of the largest economies in the world, finance their military expansion and arsenal development in preparation for China’s Marxist war against humanity, and expand their influence around the world.

Unfortunately, the United States and most of the western world did not view the PRC as a significant threat during the twentieth century. Several US administrations believed that opening Chinese markets and exposing their people to capitalism, western ideas, and freedom would eventually lead to a rejection of communism. The hope of the western world, especially the United States, for China was nave, myopic, extremely self-indulgent since little in the history of the PRC under the strong arm of the CCP indicated such a possibility. Apart from the period between establishment of the open door policy in 1978 and the 1989 Democracy Movement protests, the CCP ensured that the vast majority of the Chinese people were never exposed to western ideas and culture.  The west vastly underestimated the totality of CCP control and domination of the people of China, another aspect of China’s Marxist war against humanity. As long as the CCP controls China, the Chinese people will never have the opportunity to choose any other form of government or economy. Those allowed to interact socially and economically with the west were dedicated communists who would use the global markets to extract money, technology, and diplomatic advantages from western countries. This control of access to diverse ideas and forms of governance is part of China’s Marxist war against humanity. It is a “conflict, [or] mental struggle resulting from incompatible or opposing demands existing between western governments and economies and Marxists including the CCP.

Tibet

CCP intolerance for descent, ethnic group autonomy, and freedom for the Chinese people began early in the history of the PRC. Tibet has been part of China since it was conquered by the Qing dynasty in 1720 but maintained considerable autonomy until the middle of the twentieth century. Shortly after the CCP gained control of China in 1949, they started to consolidate power in the lands of the major Chinese ethnic groups, including Tibet. Tibet resisted these efforts for about two years. In 1951, China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) defeated the vastly inferior Tibetan army. Subsequently, Tibetan negotiators were sent to Beijing by their conquerors and presented with an already-finished document commonly referred to as the Seventeen Point Agreement which they were forced to sign without consulting with Tibetan leaders. The agreement forced Tibet’s government to acknowledge its shared heritage with China for the first time in Tibet’s history. By 1956, militias were battling the PLA in parts of Tibet over CCP land reforms. Finally, in 1959, the PLA moved against the Tibetan capital crushing the rebellion and forcing the Dalai Lama and a small contingent of government officials to flee Tibet across the Himalayan mountains to India. This action virtually ended Tibetan cultural, social, religious, and political autonomy, more of China’s Marxist war against humanity.

The Democracy Movement and Tiananmen Square

CCP intolerance for descent, ethnic group autonomy, and freedom continues to this day. In the late 1980’s, the Democracy Movement, which had its roots in the open door policy and expanded diplomatic relations and student exchanges with western countries and universities, exposed many Chinese citizens to the freedoms enjoyed by the citizens of western nations. Some economic reforms opened opportunities for free markets and entrepreneurship to CCP elites, industrialists, and financers but not the majority of the population. Students and intellectuals, discouraged by the disparities of the economic reforms and lack of freedom, started to incite others to demonstrate and protest for greater economic freedom and democratic reforms for the Chinese people. By the spring of 1989, the Democracy Movement protests had spread to over 400 Chinese cities.

This descent and protests were unacceptable to the CCP and resulted in brutal suppressionA group of tanks driving down the street. of the protests throughout China. The world witnessed the brutality of the CCP suppression at Beijing’s Tiananmen Square immortalized by the Tank Man photo and video of a lone man standing in front of a column of PLA tanks. His fate, after by-standers pulled him from the scene, is unknown. Estimates of the death toll throughout China vary from several hundred to several thousand, with thousands more wounded.

After the protests were suppressed, four million people were reportedly investigated for their role in the protests, including more than one million government officials. The authorities arrested tens if not hundreds of thousands of people across the country. Many were jailed or sent to labor camps. They were often denied access to see their families and often put in cells so crowded that not everyone had space to sleep. Dissidents shared cells with murderers and rapists, and torture was not uncommon, more of China’s Marxist war against humanity.

Hong Kong

In the spring of 2019, the people of Hong Kong learned the bitter lessons that the people of Tibet and China’s Democracy Movement had learned in the twentieth century. The PRC under the CCP will not tolerate freedom, real autonomy, or democracy for those under CCP control, more of China’s Marxist war against humanity. Hong Kong was a British colony for 155 years, from 1842 until 1997, when the British transferred control to the PRC and Hong Kong became the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China. The 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration prescribed the conditions and date of the transfer including a PRC guarantee that Hong Kong would maintain its economic and political systems for 50 years after the transfer, until 2047. Under the joint declaration which included the “one country, two systems” principle. The Basic Law of Hong Kong is the regional constitution. The regional government was composed of three branches: Executive, Legislative, and Judicial with functions similar to those in our constitution. Before the transfer, The Legislative Council became a fully elected legislature in 1995. Over the 175 years since Hong Kong became a British colony, its people benefited from the freedom, political autonomy, and prosperity of western capitalism, and free markets. Hong Kong developed into a major capitalist service economy, financial center, commercial port, the worlds tenth-largest exporter, and ninth-largest importer. Hong Kong was ranked 4th in the Global Financial Centers Index., and the Hong Kong dollar became the eighth most traded currency in the world. Hong Kong was also home to the third-highest number of billionaires of any city in the world, the second-highest number of billionaires of any city in Asia with one of the highest per capita incomes in the world. In my opinion, the PRC under CCP leadership has viewed Hong Kong as a threat to CCP control of the people in China throughout the existence of the PRC. Hong Kong was a beacon of freedom and opportunity provided by Hong Kong’s democracy and prosperous capitalistic economy not experienced by the majority of the People of China under the CCP.

As improbable as it may seem, the 2019-2020 Hong Kong protests were sparked by the investigation of a 2018 murder in Taipei Tiawan. A young man and his girlfriend both from Hong Kong got into an argument in Taipei where they were vacationing. When the man learned that the baby, she carried, was not his, he murdered his girlfriend. He was able to escape Taiwan and return undetected to Hong Kong where he used her bank account to pay off some of his debt.  This act resulted in his arrest and confession to murder. Since the murder occurred in Taiwan, he could only be charged with money laundering in Hong Kong. No extradition agreement existed between Hong Kong and Taiwan because the PRC does not recognize Taiwan as a separate country. In February 2019, the Hong Kong government proposed an amendment to the ordinances regarding extradition for case-by-case transfers of fugitives, on the order of the chief executive, to any jurisdiction where the city lacks a formal extradition agreement. While the proposed amendment would allow Hong Kong to extradite this defendant to Taiwan, the amendment also allowed Hong Kong residents to be extradited to mainland China and Beijing which led to the 2019 2020 Hong Kong protests. The people of Hong Kong feared extradition to the mainland for any form of criticism of the CCP or PRC. When the protests turned into riots, the CCP sent troops to Hong Kong to control the riots by instituting martial law and quell all forms of decent including journalists and Christian leaders, like Cardinal Joseph Zen, According to a USCRIF commissioner, the CCP is eviscerating the rule of law and civil liberties in Hong Kong in Cardinal Zen’s case. The result was the end of freedom and the “one country, two systems” policy in Hong Kong in violation of the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration. Consequently, China’s Marxist war on humanity includes the fact that China does not honor written international agreements that they sign if the agreements do not serve the long-term objectives of the CCP.

Uyghurs

According to the article, Who are the Uyghurs and why is China bring accused of genocide? in the early 20th Century, the Uyghurs briefly declared independence for their region, Xinjiang Province. Sadly, soon after the formation of the PRC in 1949, like Tibet, the province was brought under the complete control of China’s new Communist government, another example of China’s Marxist war against humanity. The Uyghurs are the fifth largest ethnic group in China; but they only comprise 0.76% of China’s population. Uyghurs are mostly Muslim, see themselves as culturally and ethnically close to Central Asian nations rather than China, and speak their own language, similar to Turkish. Xinjiang Province is a mostly desert region that produces about a fifth of the world’s cotton and rich in oil and natural gas. Because of its proximity to Central Asia and Europe, Xinjiang Province is seen by Beijing as an important trade link.

Three aerial photos of a prison in the desert.According to this article, human rights groups believe China has forcibly detained more than one million Uyghurs in a large network of what the state calls “re-education camps” and sentenced hundreds of thousands to prison terms. 2020, BBC research showed that up to half a million people were being forced to pick cotton in Xinjiang. In addition, several countries, including the US, UK, Canada, and the Netherlands, have accused China of committing genocide. These reports also claim that China has been forcibly mass sterilizing Uyghur women to suppress the population, separating children from their families, and attempting to break the cultural traditions of the group. By 2020, Xinjiang had over 380 “re-education camps,” an increase of 40% above previous estimates including evidence that new factories have been built within the grounds of the re-education camps. People who have escaped the camps reported physical, mental, and sexual torture. Women have spoken of mass rape and sexual abuse.

On one hand, China has dismissed claims that it is trying to reduce the Uyghur population through genocide and mass sterilizations as “baseless and says allegations of forced labor at re-education camps are “completely fabricated.” On the other hand, China says the crackdown on Uyghurs in Xinjiang Province is necessary to prevent terrorism and root out Islamist extremism. Re-education camps are an effective tool in its fight against terrorism. Additionally, in 2017 President Xi Jinping issued an order saying all religions in China should be Chinese in orientation. Since Islam and Christianity invoke allegiance to Allah or God as at least equal to allegiance to any state power, these religions lack the needed Chinese orientation. Consequently, further crackdowns, especially on Islamic Uyghurs, were inevitable.

Human rights groups accuse China of exaggerating the Uyghur threat of terrorist activities to justify Chinese repression of the Uyghurs. China cannot have it both ways. Do Uyghur re-education camps exist or not? Are the camps in effective tool to fight terrorism? If so, the camps must exist. China’s Uyghur genocide, forced sterilization of Uyghur women, forced labor in re-education camps, and attempts to destroy Uyghur traditions and culture are examples of China’s Marxist war against humanity.

Christians

The Chinese have encountered and reluctantly accepted Christianity since the Seventh century. While the Mongolian Empire conquests reached Eastern Europe, the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires, Mongolians often adopted important parts of the culture of those they vanquished. The practice allowed for greater control of conquered populations. They also took some of the best and brightest back to Mongolia to increase their knowledge and power. The Eastern Orthodox Christianity of Byzantium was one of the cultural imports to Mongolia. The Papacy made overtures to the Mongolian Empire and western China in the thirteenth century after traders like Marco Polo opened both trade and Papal dialog. In the middle of the fourteenth century China’s Ming Dynasty conquered the Mongols and started to eliminate all non-Han influences like Christianity. By the sixteenth century, little meaningful Christianity remained in Mongolia and China. The Jesuit order was founded in 1540 and started planning to send missionaries to India and China. Jesuits struggled to gain a Christian foothold in China for over 100 years. During this period of dynastic civil war between the old Ming and victorious Manchurian Qing Dynasties, Jesuits suffered. For the most part, Jesuit Catholics had relatively few Chinese converts to Christianity.

The Protestant missionary movement started in earnest after the Second Great Awakening worldwide revivals of the early 1800’s. For the first half of the century, China restricted missionaries to the area around thirteen costal factories. After the first opium war, missionaries could live and work in five coastal cities; and after the second opium war, they were free to travel and work throughout China. One estimate indicates that some 50,000 foreign missionaries worked in China between 1809 and 1949 including unmarried Protestant women and men with their wives and children. Missionary work slowed after the 1911 Xinhai or Hsinhai Revolution ended imperial rule with the formation of the Republic of China. This republic was plagued by WWII and nearly 40 years of civil war between the CNP and CCP. The CCP was victorious and in 1949 established the PRC. By 1953, Mao Zedong’s CCP expelled all foreign missionaries from China; and the PRC persecuted any group that did not unconditionally support the government, more of China’s Marxist was against humanity. As a result, Christians were driven underground in secret home churches. Foreign missionaries infiltrated China and smuggled Bibles to home churches for distribution to Christians.

During the decade from the late 1970’s, the Open-Door Policy and full diplomatic relations with the United States were established, the Democracy Movement grew among the general population, the home church movement grew openly, and foreign missionaries were free to travel, preach, and distribute Bibles. The Democracy Movement exposed many Chinese citizens to the freedoms and prosperity enjoyed by the citizens of western nations resulting in dissatisfaction, protests, and riots throughout the nation. Sadly, for Chinese Christians, the CCP response to the unrest was violent suppression ending in the Tiananmen Square Massacre. The suppression also included ideologies that did not fully support CCP ideology, including Christianity and the Home Church Movement. Biblical Christianity, home churches, foreign missionary work, and non-Sinicized Bible distribution are once again a covert enterprise.

Why do the Marxists of the world and the CCP have such disdain, distrust, and actual fear of Christianity? The answer is found in one word, individualism. The role, value, and relationship of the individual to the value of the society or group are direct, antithetical opposites in Marxism and Christianity. For any form of Marxism to succeed, the individual must submit to the good of society. In Christianity, the individual Christian has infinite value because God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still Sinners, Christ [God’s only Son] died for us [each individual] (Romans 5:8 NIV). Each individual is one of God’s children.  heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ (Romans 8:16-17 NIV). For Marxists, the individual has no value compared to the value of the society. Individuals are worthless. For Christians as co-heirs with God’s only Son, Jesus Christ, each Christian individual has infinite value in the sight of the God. The infinite value of the individual in Christianity is incompatible with the worthless value of the individual in Marxism. Consequently, any idea or world view, like Christianity, that elevates the induvial over the collective or society must be devalued or eliminated for Marxist systems like the CCP to succeed. Since churches that preach Biblical Christianity rather than the Sinicized, Cultural Christianity preached in CCP sanctioned churches, Biblical Christian churches and Biblical Christian families in China will suffer increasing persecution.

The article, China Ramping Up Persecution of Christians As It Demands Worship and Allegiance of Xi Jinping: Watchdog relies extensively on ChinaAid for its information. This watchdog group has been reporting on China’s persecution of its approximately 96.7 million Christians since at least 2006. ChinaAid is “gravely concerned” with how state-sanctioned churches are being treated in China. The CCP escalated its persecution of Christians throughout 2022 by clamping down on churches and online religious content. The Chinese government is using charges of “fraud” to financially suffocate the house church movement, which consists of Christian congregations that have not registered with China’s official Protestant church. The traditional Christian practice of giving tithes and offerings is the basis for the fraud charges against house churches under the “Measures for the Financial Management of Religious Activity Venues,” which were updated June 2022. ChinaAid noted that the infamous ‘zero-COVID’ policy, authorities limited or eliminated Christian gatherings and multiple house church pastors and elders have been jailed and potentially face years in prison. In addition, the Chinese government is cracking down on Christian websites and apps to “remove Christianity from cyberspace, another aspect of China’s Marxist war against humanity. “China’s state-run religious groups lavished compliments and praise on Xi with more extravagant words and phrases than China’s state-run media, showing that religious Sinicization is evolving from supporting the CCP to worship and allegiance to Xi Jinping,” ”

In April of 2019 a seminar, titled, Christianity’s Enormous Harm on China’s Security. was presented to CCP members. It encouraged all CCP members to maintain correct views regarding religion and avoid being persuaded by its ideology. The goal is not only to curate a socialist-friendly church; they hope to erase it according to ChinaAid. Consequently, it is not unreasonable to think that Biblical Christians in China will face re-education camps like the Uighurs of China. Persecution of Chinese Christians is another example of China’s Marxist war against humanity.

CHINA’S TWENTY FIRST CENTURY UNCONVENTIONAL EXTERNAL TACTICS IN WAR

China’s Marxist war is a struggle or competition between opposing forces [Marxist China and humanity, particularly the United States and our global allies] for a particular end,world domination. The current CCP leader, X­ Jinping assumed leadership of the CCP in 2012 as its first leader born after formation of the PRC in 1949. Since that time, his power as leader has increased incrementally. At that time, Xi began to use the term Chinese Dream to encapsulate his vision for the future of China. The dream expresses the hope for the “great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,” an empire with thousands of years of history. Stated another way, The Chinese Dream is about Chinese prosperity, collective effort, socialism, and national glory. In 2013, he quoted Confucius, saying “he who rules by virtue is like the Pole Star, it maintains its place, and the multitude of stars pay homage.” Xi also stated that the Western world was “suffering a crisis of confidence” and that the CCP has been “the loyal inheritor and promoter of China’s outstanding traditional culture.” Xi has pursued world domination more aggressively each year. After election to his second five-year term as PRC and CCP President in 2017, Xi made his plans for world domination clear by stating “To achieve great dreams there must be a great struggle.” China has entered a “new era” where it should take “center stage in the world.” He said that “socialism with Chinese characteristics” had led to China becoming “a great power” and that its “flourishing” economic model offered a “new choice” for developing countries. In his unprecedented third five-year term as party leader, Xi Jinping and the CCP see world domination as the Chinese Dream. Everything China does around the globe is designed to accomplish the Chinese Dream, or China’s Manifest Destany.

The unconventional tactics in war used by Xi and the CCP include a strategy to achieve global economic domination; covert intervention, espionage, and theft of intellectual property and technology related to the military, industrial development, manufacturing, computing hardware and software, communications, artificial intelligence, and medicine. Other unconventional tactics in war used by Xi and the CCP include the spread of Covid-19 from Wuhan Provence in China to the rest of the world. China also sells fentanyl and other illicit drugs or their precursor ingredients to Cartels and other criminal organizations around the world. Globally, millions died from Covid-19, fentanyl, and illicit drug poisoning. In my opinion, these tactics are part of China’s version of Manifest Destany or China’s Marxist war against humanity.

Global Economic Domination

The  2021 National Review article, What China Really Wants: A New World Order by Manyin Li is a frightening article outlining China’s plan to dominate the world, China’s Marxist war. The article is a translation, with commentary, of speeches by Jin Canrong, the Chinese State Master, a professor at the Chinese People’s University in Beijing, a U.S. expert, and an adviser to the CCP’s Organization Department and United Front Department. Jin’s words contradicted all the beautiful public utterances of CCP leaders, such as, We will never become a hegemon’ and, We have no intention to challenge the U.S. leadership.’ Accordingly, the article indicates that the CCP plans to increase China’s Gross Domestic Product, GDP, three-fold between 2021 and 2049, the 100th anniversary of the PRC when China will enter the club of developed countries. Unfortunately for the people of China, much if not most of the GDP increase will go to development of infrastructure, manufacturing, military equipment and personal, global investments including third-world country infrastructure, and the wealth of CCP elites and leaders.

Manyin Li noted six phases required to accomplish this goal, outlined in the discussion that follows. Phase one has four parts. First, after the 2008 US mortgage crises and recession, China purchased $800 billion of US Treasury bonds at the request of our government to stabilize the bond market. Second, China recognizes that there are about 6 million Chinese people in the United States which the CCP could possibly influence because of ties to family members in China which the CCP can use as leverage. For this purpose, China established illegal Chinese police stations near China towns in the United States and around the world. Consequently, many Chinese provinces, cities, and universities have strong relationships with their counterparts in the US. Large multi-national US corporations have built factories and established large product marketing efforts in China. These corporations and Chinese corporations sell their products in the United States benefiting the US economy with lower priced goods. These factors make the two countries inextricable. As Jin Canrong expressed it, The two countries will be inseparable, to the point that I have you in me, and you have me in you.’ This is a result of globalization. Unfortunately, many multi-national US corporations have moved manufacturing to China at the expense of US jobs to reduce labor costs and increase profits. In many ways, this has made the US dependent on China for end products and supply chain components for US based assembly plants. Third, the two countries have cooperated on international affairs for decades. Cooperation includes counterterrorism, North Korea, the first nuclear treaty negotiations with Iran, and the Paris climate accord. The latter two efforts eventually failed to gain support in the US congress. Fourth, China is using its economic prowess to gain alliances throughout the world by financing infrastructure projects in developing countries in Central Asia, Africa, and South America. These countries support China in international affairs and institutions like the United Nations. The CCP’s Phase one activities have given China enormous wealth and international statue.

Phase two is co-rule with the United States. Xi Jinping was the first CCP leader to consider China as a world power, rather than a regional power. In 2013 Xi Jinping proposed an agreement with the United States featuring a policy of no clash, no confrontation, mutual respect, cooperation, and a win-win situation with no war between the two nuclear powers. The US agreed to the general concept; but, from China’s perspective, rejected the idea of co-rule with China. However, the CCP envisions a world where China gains sufficient power that the US must accept China as, at least, an equal.

Phase three is the Chinese squeeze play when the Chinese squeeze the US out of the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait. US diversity, freedom, and polarization lead China to believe that we could not act in the face of multiple adversaries which the CCP would foster on the world stage. In his speeches, Jin Canrong stated,

For the U.S., the best situation is to have only one external enemy. If there are two, it would be at its wits’ end. I guess that Americans would be totally disoriented if there were three or four enemies. China’s strategy is to ensure that the U.S. has four enemies.

One more trick is to ensure that the U.S. be trapped in debt crisis.

China’s global squeeze play has the following additional two parts:

“The first is looking westward and called One Belt One Road,’ which will create physical connections between East Asia, West Asia, Africa and Europe by railroads, highways, pipelines, gas lines, optical cables, seaports, transportation hubs, and airports to form a huge network. The second pillar is the Asian-Pacific Free Trade Zone. Looking eastward, it was written into the declaration of the 2014 APEC meeting.”

According to Jin Canrong, China has made the greatest gains in global power during the twenty first century. In his view, the US wasted 20 years of blood and treasure in Iraq and Afghanistan with no strategic plan for those wars. Strategically, the US lost status on the world stage to China.

Phase four involves significant differences in military tactics, expenditures, and openness which places the US at a significant disadvantage. In the words of Jin Canrong,

“The U.S. military is transparent [regarding weapon systems development which we reveal once the systems become part of our arsenal], we know everything about it, while China’s is not. The two nations have very different thinking in military strategy. China does not show its prowess but hides it. We have hidden killers never made known to others.”

China and the CCP are patient and stealthy when they militarize significant global territory like the militarized islands they built in the South China Sea. This overt action is a hostile component of China’s Marxist war against humanity. China waited until the US was wayed down in Syria, Afghanistan, or Ukraine to construct these militarized islands. During this period, China has also continued with its global economic foreign investments like One Belt One Road, the Brick Bank, Asia Investment, Air Defense Identifying Zone.

The fifth phase of China’s plan for world domination is to change the free world. In 2020, then Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stated that if the free world doesn’t change China, communist China will surely change us. According to Jin Canrong, China’s capital investments in the US will find a good outlet and we can make money and control the market. Jin goes on to explain China’s hope to gain control of the US Congress, and other western nations, through their investment strategy as follows:

Our government hopes that eventually China will have investments in each and every congressional district in the U.S., making it possible for China to control thousands of votes to influence congressional members’ stance toward China. In fact, the U.S. representatives can be controlled. The U.S. has 312 million people, who elect 435 representatives. That means 750,000 people in each district on average. The normal turnout rate is 30 percent, about 200,000 voters who determine who gets elected. Generally, the two contenders have about the same number of supporters, separated by only 10,000 votes or fewer. Therefore, if you control a few thousand votes, you would be his/her dad. China, if playing well, will be able to buy out the U.S., making the U.S. Congress the second Standing Committee of our People’s National Representatives.

In my opinion, China and CCP have made significant progress towards accomplishing their goal to control the US Congress. China is buying or attempting to buy farmland, agribusinesses, and other industrial facilities throughout our nation. In North Dakota near the Grand Forks Airforce Base China attempted to buy farmland and an agribusinesses which could serve as a base to gather intelligence on a strategic US Air Force asset. In Oklahoma, the Chinese Communist Party arranged purchase of at least 300,000 acres of agricultural land, the source of illegal marijuana sold throughout the United States and beyond. These are two examples showing that China is actively pursuing its goal to buy out the U.S., making the U.S. Congress the second Standing Committee of our People’s National Representatives. Three recent media reports in The Wall Street Journal, Vision Times, and Breitbart reported that the CCP influenced the election of 11 progressive members of the Canadian Parliament in Prime Minister Trudeau’s party. A web search of the phrase CCP contributions to Democrats provides a plethora of articles, many asking whether the Democrat party is compromised to the CCP including these three, Breitbart, the Federalist, and Extremely American-Worldwide. In December 2022, ByteDance, TikTok’s Chinese parent company, donated $150,000 to both the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation and Congressional Hispanic Caucus Foundation. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, AOC, D-N.Y., is a member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) advisory council. Is it a coincidence that AOC defended TicToc against a complete ban in the US? Is the CCP succeeding in its efforts to coopt Representatives in the Democrat Party? Consider these three words, Marxists support Marxists. This is another overt component of China’s Marxist war against the United States.

Phase six of China’s global plan is to become the global hegemon. Jin Canrong statement of Xi Jinping’s CCP Plan is frighteningly simple,

“[China must] survive; develop; earn dignity; [and pursue] hegemony. Our new country has experienced two phases: to survive and to develop. President Xi now wants dignity. After this is achieved, we will [pursue hegemony]. But that will be achieved by the next generation. The task of this generation is to gain equal footing with the U.S. while that of the next generation is to administer all other countries, the United States included.”

China’s Manifest Destany according to Xi is to become the global hegemon in the next two generations, 2049, the 100th Anniversary of the People’s Republic of China. If Xi succeeds, the United States will be administered by China. We will be communized’ by China. How is your Mandarin? This is the culmination of China’s Marxist war against humanity.

In his ending commentary on Jin Canrong’s speeches, Manyin Li is frank about the errors of US foreign policy regarding China since the end of the cold war with Russia, Li stated,

China has deceived Americans and the U.S. government, as well as Europeans and Australians, and misled us into a situation in which we are enabling the CCP to change us.

The hope of U.S. engagement policy was to invite China into an international community based on free trade and mutually beneficial cooperation, ultimately changing China. Yet in the last 40 years, the CCP has become more internally authoritarian. At the same time, the U.S. has fully let the CCP enmesh with us and use our free system to its own advantage. But no American could have ever imagined that the CCP is plotting to ensure four enemies against the U.S. at the same time, a debt crisis to trap us, and even to control our Congress. It is one thing for a nation to strive for greatness  respecting international rules,  it is another thing to do so by enmeshing with cooperators or competitors not only to take advantage of them but also to undermine them.

[Additionally dealing] with an enemy already enmeshing with us is more difficult than fighting a war on others’ land.

Most of the Chinese people are truly proud of their country’s modernization. Whatever the U.S. does against the CCP would be seen by a great number of Chinese as blocking China’s rise.

According to LI, the CCP believes it can gain control of the US by controlling our global corporations because of the market potential of the 1.4 billion people in China and the lower prices of products made in China and marketed throughout the world. In the words of the CCP, Wall Street will prevail over the U.S. government. However, Li warns Wall Street that

They either have never known or have forgotten that the CCP once deprived Chinese property owners of all their wealth and properties. In a few decades, American companies may suffer a similar fate if the CCP grows more powerful. Profiting in the present, American businesses fail to see possible long-term damage to the U.S.

The CCP’s model includes a police state, high-tech surveillance, censorship of media and the Internet, speech restrictions, lifelong privileges for ruling-party officials, wealth concentrated in a small group of CCP officials’ clans, stark inequality, oppression of the religious, the Sinicization of all ethnic minorities with coercive measures, etc.

Manyin Li ends his discussion of the CCP’s plan to become the world hegemon with the following admonition for We the People of the United States:

America’s decline is the CCP’s best opportunity to pursue its goal: the dominance of the whole world. The more divided and chaotic the U. S. is, the likelier it is that the CCP will succeed. Americans must prove to the world that democracy is still, and will always be, better than authoritarianism. We must do everything to improve and strengthen our democracy. It’s not easy to keep America safe and strong while forcing the CCP to change. First and foremost, it requires a better, stronger, and more united America.

China, the CCP, and Xi Jinping have a plan to accomplish total global domination, including the United States in two generations, 2049. Their preference would be to accomplish this goal peacefully by economic and political domination; but China is building a powerful military industrial complex for war if necessary. This is China’s Marxist war against humanity.

Until Xi Jinping became the leader of the PRC and CCP The conventional wisdom was that China would seek an expanded regional role but would defer to the distant future any global ambitions. Now, however, the signs that China is gearing up to contest America’s global leadership are unmistakable, and they are ubiquitous. The six phase Chinese plan for world domination and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace article, China has two paths to Global Domination by Jake Sullivan and Hal Brands make China’s global ambitions clear. China is expanding its navy at an alarming rate, investing to dominate high-tech industries, control waterways off its east coast, and create a global chain of bases and logistical facilities. Belt and road projects financed by Chinese banks will convert economic influence into economic coercion globally. According to these authors, China has two paths to global dominance. The first path requires that China establish regional dominance over the nations surrounding China in the western Pacific as a springboard to global dominance. This would require dominance over Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Australia, India and Vietnam providing significant stand-off distance between the US Navy and mainland China in the event of War. Unfortunately for China, many of these nations are repulsed by China’s efforts to dominate the region. If China cannot convince these nations that the Chinese economic and political model will provide a better more prosperous and free future than the US model, China cannot be a true global power. China will remain surrounded by U.S. allies and security partners, military bases, and other outposts. China will not achieve regional dominance much less global hegemony.

The second path to world dominance is more audacious and unexpected. This would require China to undermine the U.S. global alliance system and develop China’s economic, diplomatic, and political influence and dominance on a global scale. China would put increasing emphasis on shaping the world’s economic rules, technology standards, and political institutions to its advantage and in its image. This alternative approach would be fundamentally more important than traditional military power in establishing global leadership. For the second path to succeed, China would also need to supplant the US in converting economic power into political power, become the world leader in innovation, shape key international institutions, and set the rules of global conduct. China’s global diplomatic efforts to secure peace between Saudi Aribia and Iran and Russia and Ukraine are examples of this stealthy aspect of China’s Marxist war against the US and our allies and replace the US as the diplomatic leader of the world. China is investing its infrastructure, military industrial complex, quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology. China’s, approach to ideology may be flexible, but its cumulative effect is to expand the space for authoritarianism and constrain the space for transparency and democratic accountability.

According to Tarun Chhabra of the Brooking Institution, Beijing’s flexible authoritarianism abroad, digital tools of surveillance and control, unique brand of authoritarian capitalism, and weaponization of interdependence, may in fact render China a more formidable threat to democracy and liberal values than the Soviet Union was during the Cold War. Apparently, China is currently preparing for both paths to global hegemony with an emphasis on the second path based on overt intervention, espionage, weaponization of Covid-19, and illicit drug and drug precursor ingredient trade in countries around the world.

Overt Intervention and Espionage

A map of the world with countries that have been in decline.

A table with several countries and their names.China’s Marxist war against humanity is global in scope. While China prepares for possible war, its plan for economic domination relies on overt intervention into the economy and culture of targeted countries. In developed countries, like the United States, China’s overt economic intervention includes investments in existing corporations or using Chinese corporations to enter markets where openings would be profitable and offer inroads to US politics. China’s objectives in these activities, primarily total dependance on or interdependence with China were discussed in detail previously. In developing countries, China invests in infrastructure projects, natural resource development, and manufacturing that the country is unable to pursue without assistance from outside sources. As noted, these Belt and Road projects in 147 countries include railroads, highways, pipelines, gas lines, optical cables, seaports, transportation hubs, and airports, [many with military base implications], to form a huge network. China is most interested in developing countries with valuable natural resources especially extensive rare earth minerals necessary for electric vehicles and chip manufacturing allowing China to control global markets for these invaluable natural resources.

Readers of the 2021 DW Global Media Forum article, Study looks at China’s secret loans to developing nations, by Kristi Pladson could easily conclude that the Chinese state banks, under CCP direction, are predatory lenders. The goal of these Chinese lenders is eventual control of the project assets they finance and the third world governments whose projects they finance. This is another way for China to peacefully achieve global dominance and hegemony. According to Pladson, these Chinese state bank contracts contain the following predatory provisions and terms that “go beyond maximizing commercial advantage:”

“Such terms can amplify the lender’s influence over the debtor’s economic and foreign policies….

Chinese contracts include a clause that allows the creditor to terminate the contract and demand repayment in the case of significant law or policy change in the borrowing country. [These demands] take on a different dimension when the lender is a state entity and not a private firm subject to standard financial regulation.

The contracts also contain unusually far-reaching confidentiality clauses,’ [including clauses that] contain or refer to borrowers’ promises not to disclose their terms  or, in some cases, even the fact of the contract’s existence.

This secrecy prevents other lenders from reliably assessing a country’s creditworthiness. Most importantly, citizens in lending and borrowing countries alike cannot hold their governments accountable for secret debts.

The severance of diplomatic relations with China is also classified as a default and breach of contract, requiring the debtor government to repay the entire loan amount immediately.

30% of the contracts require loan-receiving countries to deposit collateral in special escrow accounts. Borrowing countries may also be required to deposit the revenue from projects backed financially by these banks into said accounts. In the event of bankruptcy, the Chinese bank could then seize these assets.

[Most Chinese bank] contracts  hinder borrowers from accessing standard debt restructuring mechanisms. China explicitly obliges borrowers to exclude Chinese lenders from collective restructuring initiatives [involving other nations].

Such a provision conflicts with an agreement reached in November 2020 by China and other G20 countries. [Once again, China does not adhere to international agreements that China signed, much like their treatment of Hong Kong.]”

Most of the 147 countries of the world with projects financed by Chinese banks are obliged by contract to support China in world diplomacy and organizations like the United Nations (UN). In the UN, nations contractually indebted to China compose 75% of its 193 member nations. Does this fact contribute to votes against the US in the UN? Is China gaining a position of global dominance through its Belt and Road foreign policy and predatory lending tactics? More evidence of China’s Marxist war, a struggle or competition between opposing forces or for a particular end, global domination and hegemony.

Between 2004 and 2018, China and the CCP installed nearly 550 Confucius Institutes, CI, at colleges and universities around the world with nearly 1200 Confucius classrooms in elementary and secondary schools according to BBC News. CIs are another form on China’s overt intervention into countries around the world. The CCP goal was to establish 1000 Cis around the world. According to China, CIs offer language, cultural programs, and a bridge reinforcing friendship” between China and CI students. CIs are agreements between host universities or schools, a partner university in China, and China’s education ministry which oversees CI operations and provides partial funding, staff, and other support. Consequently, the CCP controls Ci staff members who are usually Chinese citizens making them potential espionage agents.

Critics contend that CIs are a way for Beijing to spread propaganda under the guise of teaching, interfere with free speech on campuses when they attempt to limit discussions of Topics like Tibet, Taiwan, Tiananmen, and Hong Kong, spy on students, and serve as bases for broader espionage. According to the BBC article, “They are platforms for an authoritarian party that’s fundamentally hostile to liberal ideas like free speech and free inquiry to propagate a state-approved narrative. Since the Communist Party of China doesn’t have a free press or rule of law to check its use of power, it’s no surprise there have been strong indications that CIs are used for inappropriate covert activities like intelligence gathering and [infiltrating] military research [programs].” After the Chinese military moved into Hong Kong and took control of its government in violation of international treaties, CIs attempted to squelch discussion of the CCP crackdown on campuses and communities where they were located. As a result, schools, and governments closed Cis around the world because their activities constituted unacceptable foreign interference. By 2021, 75% of the Cis in the US had been closed. At one time 120 CIs were operating in the US. CIs are another form of China’s Marxist war against humanity.

A 2018 CNBC article observed that in China trade secrets aren’t secret. China’s Intellectual Property, IP, system takes whatever trade secrets it wants for its own companies. In 2018, the United States Trade Representative found that “Chinese theft of American IP currently costs between $225 billion and $600 billion annually.” China’s system can force companies to give up their technological or trade secrets if they want to do any business in the country. Additionally, allegations of outright IP theft, is rampant in China. In some situations companies have to disclose other Information, such as annual reports which would list US based executives, to  enter the Chinese market. These executives would be potential targets for Chinese espionage. The major issue we face in China IP is China has a different system that is very much state-oriented and state-controlled.

According to an April 2022 NYT on-line article by Ana Swanson, China Continues to Fall Short of Promises to Protect Intellectual Property, U.S. Says, China used unfair means and pressured companies to transfer key technology that would give its companies a competitive edge. CCP bodies and officials have also continued to make worrying assertions about their IP system. China’s system serves the needs of domestic innovation and provides a strategic resource for Chinese competitiveness abroad.

In 2020, FBI Director Christopher Wray described a far-reaching Chinese campaign of economic, medical, and military espionage, data and monetary theft and illegal political activities, using bribery and blackmail to influence US policy. Every major Chinese enterprise in the world has an internal “cell” answerable to the CCP to drive the political agenda and ensure that the company is compliant with CCP directives.   The CCP operates in every country under the natural cover of business. “The Party machine is everywhere. For [the CCP], business is inseparable from espionage and politics.” These “agents”, as well as targeted individuals in important positions in foreign companies, can be recruited or persuaded using a variety of methods. This overt intervention in global trade and business is another for of China’s Marxist war against humanity.

Weaponization of Covid-19

Weaponization of Covid-19 is one of the most egregious examples of China’s war against humanity. China’s failure to fully and openly cooperate with the entire world to determine the origin of Covid-19 or stop the exodus of people from Wuhan at the start of the pandemic are inexcusable. In a May 2021 MedPagna’s  Today on-line article, Former CDC Director Robert Redfield, MD and others concluded that Covid-19 escaped from a Wuhan Institute of Virology, WIV, laboratory as early as September 2019. An on-line NBC News article draws a similar conclusion. Satellite imagery showing increased car parking at Wuhan hospitals even before September through November provides circumstantial evidence of an early fall start to the pandemic in Wuhan. The article also indicates the World Health Organization, WHO, investigation of the origin of Covid-19 was hampered by a lack of cooperation by Chinese authorities and scientists. The failure to cooperate may have contributed to the global severity of the pandemic. The June 2021 on-line Reuters article, First Covid-19 case could have emerged in China in Oct 2019  study by David Stanway draws similar conclusions. The article indicates that early cases had no known connection with the Huanan market, implying that Covid-19 was already circulating before it reached the market. A Chinese-WTO study acknowledged there could have been sporadic human infections before the Wuhan outbreak. The U.S. National Institutes of Health, NIH, confirmed to Reuters that the samples used in the study were submitted to the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) in March 2020 and later deleted at the request of Chinese investigators, who said they would be updated and submitted to another archive. Critics of the Chinese said the deletion was further evidence that China was trying to cover up the origins of COVID-19. Harvard researcher Alina Chan asked, “Why would scientists ask international databases to delete key data that informs us about how COVID-19 began in Wuhan? All agreed that the problems of doing this follow-up research in China will cause problems and delays in discerning the origin of Covid-19.

A 2021 MIT Review article by Antonio Regalado made several important observations about the Covid-19 origin controversy. Accordingly, Matthew Pottinger, a former deputy national security advisor at the White House and journalist working in China during the original SARS outbreak, believes it is very much possible that it did emerge from the laboratory and that the Chinese government, CCP, is loath to admit it. Pottinger says that is why Beijing’s joint research with the WHO is completely insufficient as far as a credible investigation.

The Chinese-WHO team led by Liang Wannian looked at two origin theories, the animal origin and lab-leak origin. Almost immediately the team eliminated the lab-leak origin theory. They said that Wuhan lab scientists claimed they had never seen or worked with a virus like Covid-19. Liang believed the Wuhan scientists and reasoned, If it doesn’t exist, there will be no way that this virus would be leaked. Additionally, Peter Daszak, president of the EcoHealth Alliance, which received grants from Dr. Fauci at the NIH, collaborated with the Wuhan lab for many years, and funded some of its work, says there is “no evidence” whatsoever to back the lab theory. However, knowing that Wuhan researchers were in the business of retrieving samples from bat caves and bringing them to Wuhan for study. They could have come into contact with unfamiliar viruses. The labs [have not been] entirely forthcoming about what viruses they do know about. The article is skeptical about the claims of the Chinese-WTO team in the following statement: The WIV possesses gene information about similar viruses that it has not released publicly. Other information disappeared from view when the institute took a database released offline. The article also indicates that the Chinese-WHO team never asked for the off-line data bases. Why?

After rejecting the lab leak theory out of hand, the joint Chinese-WTO team searched China for the creature that is the link between bats and humans giving rise to Covid-19. Eventually, the group plans to release a 300-page report. Unfortunately, Liang said China had tested 50,000 animal specimens, including 1,100 bats in Hubei province, where Wuhan is located. But no luck: a matching virus still hasn’t been found. Liang has not found a direct progenitor of the virus. He claims that the pandemic remains an unsolved mystery. Almost in desperation, The Chinese-WHO team went on a fishing expedition postulating that the intermediary may be some imported frozen species, which they hunted for almost one year. They postulated that such an intermediary could have come from thousands of miles from China’s shores. Now three years later, an internet search failed to find the intermediary species for Covid-19. If China had found it, the species would be at the top of every search. Why is the world tolerating such malarky from the Chinese-WHO team?

Jamie Metzl, a technology and national security fellow at the Atlantic Council, noted that the Chinese-WHO team isn’t set up to carry out the sort of forensic probe he believes is necessary. Everyone on earth is a stakeholder in this, he says. It’s crazy that a year into this, there is no full investigation into the origins of the pandemic. In February, Metzl published a statement in which he said he was appalled by the investigators’ quick rebuttal of the lab hypothesis. Reluctantly, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus who “was supported by a bloc of African and Asian countries, including China, for election as WHO Director-General, Issued the following statement regarding the search for the origin of Covid-19: I want to clarify that all hypotheses remain open and require further study. Now after three years or more, it is still crazy and appalling that the world still tolerates China’s intransigence regarding its role in the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Chinese-WHO efforts to determine the origin of Covid19 are totally inadequate primarily due to the CCP’s failure to cooperate with the rest of the world totally and openly. Is the CCP responsible for deletion of samples used in the study that were Wuhan submitted to the Sequence Read Archive (SRA), deletion of entire data bases, trivialization of massive hospitalizations in the fall of 2019 and 2020, and the disappearance of WIV scientists hospitalized in Wuhan with Covid-19 like symptoms in the fall of 2019? According to this article, one of these scientists may have been patient zero.

Based on the discussion above, Covid-19 originated in the WIV and was most likely released accidently into the City of Wuhan, in my opinion. The next question related to the rapid spread of Covid-19 and its possible weaponization, must be discussed and evaluated. According to Sky News Australia, over 9,000 athletes from 100 countries who participated in military games in Wuhan in the fall of 2019 returned to their homelands with many exhibiting Covid-19 like symptoms. Some US athletes had these symptoms in December of 2019, Consequently, Covid-19 originating in Wuhan was carried to the US by athletes participating in the Wuhan military games. Mr. Asher said, My concern was that the Chinese were doing research in, as we learned later, quite uncontrolled circumstances that was most definitely related to biological warfare ambitions in the future.'” Wei Jinsheng, China’s most famous defector to the United States, said he

“learned there was an unusual exercise by the Chinese government during the military games. I thought that the Chinese government would take this opportunity to spread the virus during the military games to as many foreigners as would show up.”

The question is, How were these athletes exposed to Covid-19? Were they accidentally exposed by asymptomatic Wuhan residents, or were symptomatic Chinese intentionally brought to the games as Jinsheng implies? Regardless of the mechanism, athletes from the games carried Covid-19 to as many as 100 countries by the late fall of 2019, Chain’s Marxist war against humanity.

In addition, the 2020 Voice of America, Associated Press on-line article, Where Did They Go? Millions Left Wuhan Before quarantine, has some very interesting observations of real travel from Wuhan to other parts of China and the world based on a Chinese itinerary search tool, Baldu Maps, available to researchers. 5 million people left Wuhan before the January 23, 2020, quarantine closed the province to the annual Lunar New Year exodus. China claimed that the first case of Covid-19 was identified in mid-December 2019, in Wuhan. The data shows that the first destination of most Wuhan travelers was provinces and cities adjacent to Wuhan. This article did not track those who left China from Wuhan. The top 10 global destinations for travelers from high-risk Chinese cities around Lunar New Year, according to their analysis, were Thailand, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, the United States, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and Australia. The article noted a high correlation between the early spread of coronavirus cases and the geographical risk patterns they identified. The first case of the virus outside China was reported on Jan. 13 in Thailand, followed two days later by Japan, the countries with the highest connectivity risk, according to WorldPop’s analysis. Within 10 days of Wuhan’s quarantine, the virus had spread to more than two dozen countries; nine of the 10 countries with the most flight connections to at-risk mainland cities also had the highest numbers of confirmed cases, mostly afflicting people who had been in China. All these cases were identified before China closed its airways to international travel and quarantined Wuhan from the rest of China.

An April 2020 on-line ABC News article noted that that 3,200 flights flew from China to the U.S., including more than 1,000 flights that went to Los Angeles and nearly 500 each landed in San Francisco and New York  all three among the eventual hot spots of the COVID-19 outbreak in the U.S. More than 100 flights from China arrived in six other American cities: Chicago, Seattle, Detroit, Dallas, Washington, D.C., and Newark, N.J. More than 761,000 Chinese nationals and Americans returning home from the PRC entered the U.S. during that critical four-month period. This massive travel meant that the flow of the virus into the U.S. and other countries probably came quickly after it began spreading quickly in China. As early as January, cases were happening globally and specifically in the U.S. Among the flights were 50 direct from Wuhan. Twenty-seven of those flights went to San Francisco and 23 to New York. ABC News also analyzed thousands more flights during the period from Italy and Spain, which had the highest numbers of cases outside the U.S. by the end of March. Cities that took in at least 100 flights from China, Italy and Spain were the starting point for flights to every state in the country, potentially exasperating the domestic spread.

According to these two articles, the CCP allowed millions of Chinese to leave Wuhan directly to the rest of the world before their January 23, 2020, quarantine. The CCP also allowed people who left Wuhan for other Chinese provinces and cities to leave China for the rest of the world before the quarantine as well. The CCP knew that this virus was a dangerous, pandemic level virus by December 2019 following the military games cases and the WIV scientist episode. Yet the CCP allowed people to leave China for the rest of the world. Why? The Chinese-WHO team searching for the origin of Covid-19 believed WIV scientists who claimed that no Covid like virus existed in the lab and are still looking that species between bats and people that is the virus origin. Why? The CCP has removed critical scientists, information, data, and databases that must be made available to determine how Covid-19 originated and spread around the world when this information would help to prevent or mitigate another pandemic like Covid-19. Why?

It is my opinion that once the CCP determined how dangerous Covid-19 was to people, they allowed the virus to spread around the world, China’s Marxist war against humanity. Knowing the inhumane actions of the CCP during the Chinese civil war and toward Tibetans, Democracy Movement Protesters, Uyghurs, Christians, and Hong Kongese, It is not hard to believe that WIV was conducting gain of function, biological warfare research where Covid-19 was being tested and accidently infected WIV scientists who infected Wuhan Chinese. According to this idea, the CCP then allowed Covid-19 to spread around the world to test the efficacy of Covid type viruses as biological warfare agents. Additionally, the CCP knew how devastating the virus would be to the Chinese economy and could not afford to lose ground to the rest of the world. Such a worldwide release insured that the world economy would not gain on the Chinese economy. This hypothesis is consistent with the CCP and XI Jinping’s stated goal of becoming the world only superpower. Covid-19 was, from this perspective, a highly successful test release of a highly contagious human-to-human respiratory virus that had devastating effects on human populations and national economies. Such a hypothesis is also consistent with the words of Chinese defector, Wei Jinsheng who indicated that during the military games. I thought that the Chinese government would take this opportunity to spread the virus to as many foreigners as would show up.” Whether the release of Covid-19 was accidental or intentional, Covid-19 was the result of gain-of-function and/or biological warfare research or not, or the CCP facilitated the release of Covid-19 to the rest of the world or not, the PRC and CCP under the leadership of Xi Jinping gained invaluable information about the efficacy of human-to-human transmission of respiratory viruses like Covid-19.

The weaponization hypothesis is also supported by the following factors: 1) the PRC’s refusal to fully and openly cooperate with international investigators regarding the origin of Covid-19, 2) the Chinese-WHO team boondoggle search for the intermediary species, 3) the CCP’s failure to disclose the actual number of Wuhan fatalities in Wuhan during the fall of 2019 which could show that the PRC should have closed worldwide travel before January 23,2020, 4) CCP influence over Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the CCP candidate for WHO Director-General, and 5) WHO’s  failure to sanction the PRC for its failure to fully cooperate with the world regarding all of the CCP’s Covid-19 information and insights needed to prevent a future pandemic like Covid-19.

The reader can answer this question for themselves. Did the PRC, led by the CCP and Xi Jinping weaponize Covid-19 or not? A final consideration in this discussion is the global impact of PRC, CCP, and Xi Jinping’s culpability regarding Covid 19. If the world determines that China is primarily responsible for Covid-19, the status of the PRC, CCP and Xi Jinping would be greatly diminished, possibly irreparably. The previously noted MIT Technology Review article concluded with this statement:

More than any other hypothesis, a government-sponsored technology program run amok along with early efforts to conceal news of the outbreak would establish a case for retribution. If this is a man-made catastrophe,’ says Miles Yu, an analyst with the conservative Hudson Institute, I think the world should seek reparations.’

Mister Yu also discussed his distrust of the CCP and its potential treatment of foreign Covid-19 investigators and scientist working in China which is chilling. What you say in a press conference [in China] may be different than what you put in a report once you have left the country. Based on the evidence to date and the history of the CCP, it is my opinion that the CCP is hiding the truth and weaponized Covid-19 as part of China’s Marxist war on humanity.

Weaponization of Illicit Drug and Drug Precursor Ingredient Trade

Illicit drug use accounts for over 100,000 overdose deaths in the United States every year. Most of these deaths are the result of opioids; and the vast majority, over 70%, of the opioid deaths are the result of fentanyl poisoning.  In the US, opioid fatalities are most frequent among Whites. The racial and ethnic breakdown is Whites 70%, Blacks 17%, and Hispanics 12%. Males are about twice as likely to die of drug overdoses than females. A map of the united states with a map showing where fentanyl is.According to a Council on Foreign Relations on-line publication updated in April 2023, Most fentanyl in the United States is  smuggled across the southern border, U.S. officials say. Fentanyl coming directly from China”previously the dominant source has significantly decreased since 2019, but China is still the main manufacturer of the ingredients needed to create fentanyl. Other illicit opioids include oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, heroin, and methadone which is primarily used in addiction treatment centers. Mexican cartels move most of the illicit drugs to the US across our open southern border. The estimated lethal dose of fentanyl is about 2 milligrams or 0.007% of one ounce. Depending on where the fentanyl comes from (i.e. illicit or prescription), the lethal dose may be lower. Causes of fatal fentanyl overdose can include illicit forms of fentanyl, heroin laced with fentanyl, stimulants mixed with fentanyl (e.g. cocaine), higher doses than prescribed, doses more often than prescribed, crushing and snorting tablets, injecting fentanyl, mixing fentanyl with other illicit prescription drugs and alcohol. Fentanyl laced fake prescription drugs cause an increasing number of deaths sense these concoctions contain varying amounts of fentanyl that is unknow to the user. Unfortunately, Mexican cartels are mixing fentanyl combinations without naming fentanyl as an ingredient creating poisonous drugs that will kill unknowing victims. A bar graph showing the number of overdose deaths among age groups.More than 1,500 kids under the age of 20 died from fentanyl in 2021, four times as many as in 2018, says epidemiologist Julie Gaither. The fentanyl deaths account for nearly all of the opioid-related deaths in this age group in 2021.The chart on the left shows age and sex related drug overdose fatalities. Dealers who sell these concoctions and fentanyl should be prosecuted for one count of murder for each person they poison.

At least 70,000 US citizens die annually of fentanyl poisoning. China is the supplier of most of the illicit fentanyl and precursor fentanyl ingredients used by Mexican cartels to produce the fentanyl they smuggle across the open, southern US border for sale to Americans. The annual US citizen fentanyl poisoning rate is greater than the total number of military personal who died during the Viet Nam War. Consequently, Mexican cartels, and China are waging an undeclared war against We the People of the United States of America. China’s Marxist war is killing Americans with fentanyl and its precursors.

Annually, cartels kill at least six times more Americans with illicit drugs and fentanyl than the Taliban Killed in all three of their 911 attacks on Pennsylvania, New York City, and The Pentagon. Many in the US believe that the Mexican cartels should be designated as terrorist organizations. Then, the US should impose economic sanctions against Mexico to force the country to end the cartel problem themselves or cooperate with our military deal with the cartel problem. If invited, our military should use overwhelming force, decimate the cartels, and leave Mexico as soon as the well-defined mission to eliminate illicit cross-border drug trafficking is accomplished. Then, if Mexico fails to keep cartels in check and control their drug trafficking, repeat the military mission until Mexico eliminates the cartels within their borders.

Annually, China, the CCP, and Xi Jinping supply the fentanyl, or its precursor chemicals needed for Mexican cartels to manufacture fentanyl. This fentanyl kills five to six times more Americans than died on 911 and in the Viet Nam War combined. Stopping the flow of fentanyl and its precursor chemicals manufactured in China is a complicated issue. Drastically reducing, hopefully eliminating, the Mexican cartel demand would eliminate one market for these Chinese poisons. Sadly, China could attempt to provide these products directly to US drug gangs, increase mail sales, direct internet sales, and social media marketing in the US. To accomplish this, China would need to use independent smugglers to get the product into the US. If China engaged in such an operation, Xi would risk high probability of smuggler conflicts the US Coast Guard and a drastic increase in US-China tension. Of course, if the Mexican cartel market was eliminated, the better option for China would be to abandon its Mexican cartel-US fentanyl market.

Weaponization of illicit drug and drug precursor ingredient trade particularly related to fentanyl is another example of China’s Marxist war against humanity.

Discussion

China’s Marxist war against humanity since its revolution that ended the last Chinese empire is a story of civil war brutality that led to formation of the PRC under control of the CCP. Almost immediately, the CCP began brutal PLA suppression of non-Han ethnic minorities in China including Tibetans and Uyghurs and religious minorities primarily Christians. Repression of these groups includes forced relocation to re-education camps, forced labor, and genocidal persecution. Large scale protests and riots against the austerity and control of the general Chinee population like that of the Democracy Movement or the Hong Kong autonomy protests are met with the same brutality, imprisonments, party purges, and re-education tactics used by the CCP whenever resistance to its dogma is encountered.

In 2020, autonomy protests erupted in Hong Kong. After the CCP used the PLA to end the protests, the CCP revoked the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration and the PRC guarantee that Hong Kong would maintain its autonomy, economic, and political systems for 50 years after the transfer, until 2047. This CCP act demonstrates that Xi Jinping and the CCP will not tolerate proponents of democracy and capitalism to infect the rest of the Chinese population. The act clearly demonstrates to the rest of the world that China does not respect international law or treaties that the PRC and CCP sign and agree to respect. Therefore, China’s Marxist war against humanity is without limits, compassion, or dignity.

From the time Xi Jinping was first installed as PRC and CCP leader, he has stated that The Chinese Dream’ is about Chinese prosperity, collective effort, socialism, and national glory, and the “great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.” He has quoted Confucius, saying “He who rules by virtue is like the Pole Star, it maintains its place, and the multitude of stars pay homage.” He said that “socialism with Chinese characteristics” had led to China becoming “a great power” and that its “flourishing” economic model offered a “new choice” for developing countries. Xi’s Chinese Dream is world domination, politically, economically, and militarily. Xi’s Chinese Dream is to replace the United States of America as the world’s only superpower. Xi plans to accomplish his Chinese Dream, China’s Marxist war, by 2049, the 100th anniversary of the founding of the PRC.

To accomplish their Chinese Dream, the CCP has a detailed plan. Although the plan may be unattainable, it reflects Xi’s Chinese Dream. The plan starts with the goal of a three-fold increase in China’s gross domestic product by 2049. Whenever possible, China will buy US Treasury Bonds as they did during the 2008 mortgage crisis when they purchased $800 billion of our debt as requested by our government. China plans to use globalism and multinational corporations with co-mingled ownership, factories, and markets in the US and China to gain economic leverage whenever possible. Medical supply and pharmaceutical industry globalization is causing critical medical supplies and equipment and drug shortages related to supply chain and active pharmaceutical ingredient problems. This includes leveraging the millions of Chinese citizens, permanent residents, and visa holders to encourage joint ventures with Chinese corporations and perform military, industrial, technological, medical, and pharmaceutical espionage. In many industries, US corporations have moved most of their production to China giving China control of both supply chains and many end products. China is also financing infrastructure projects in developing countries around the world, especially west Asia which could connect to the Middle East and Southern Europe, South America, and Africa. These efforts provide allies in global politics and access to the mineral and other natural resources which include rare earth minerals needed for emerging Electric vehicle batteries chip manufacturing. In most of these infrastructure projects, China uses predatory financing where countries cannot meet obligations and default giving China control over the projects and their profits. As China’s global economic, military, and political power increases, the US will have to consider China as at least a global equal according to the plan. At this point China will attempt to gain South China Sea allies and drive the US from the area including the Taiwan Strait which would allow the PRC to invade Taiwan. With US debt exceeding $31 trillion, Chinese planners want to ensure that the U.S. is trapped in a debt crisis.” The US may do the trapping for China. China’s weapons development is secretive while ours is more open. China uses this to their advantage. The Chinese hypersonic missile program, which totally surprised the west, is an example which the US must counter. China plans to gain control of the US House of Representatives by purchasing enough land and commercial investments in every House District to gain enough economic influence to affect congressional polices related to China and globalism in general. In two generations, by 2049, China plans to be the Global hegemon and control the world’s economy, culture, and politics. Every component of their plan is underway. China and the CCP simply need to maintain their momentum and ensure that they maintain control. My question is, How is your mandarin?

In 2020, Carnegie Institute researchers Jake Sullivan and Gal Brands observed that Xi Jinping’s China is displaying a superpower’s ambition. Signs that China is gearing up to contest America’s global leadership are unmistakable, and they are ubiquitous. In my opinion, the United States has the same myopia toward Xi Jinping and China as we had toward Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda on September10 2001. That is, China is at war with us; but, we are not at war with China. China is effectively fighting on the the economic front, the geo-political front, the cultural front, and the public opinion front and preparing to fight on the military front and the space front. Sadly, the United States is not effectively fighting China on any of these fronts. In fact, Marxist progressive ideology, espoused throughout the left in the US, is closely aligned with the CCP’s Marxist ideology.

We are a 50-50 Democrat-Republican nation with each party more interested in political power than solving the problems facing our nation internally and internationally. Much to Xi’s delight, progressives seek to undermine and abandon our heritage, Constitutional law, economic system, Judeo-Christian values and culture, and traditional family structure. Progressives pit races, genders, sexes, economic classes, age classes, management and labor, and regions of our nation against each other hoping that the largest among each of these divisions will be and vote democratic. This would give the Democrat Party control of the legislature, a majority in the Senate, and the Presidency. In all likely hood, the Democrat majority would be slim. A 2% majority would, in my opinion, be huge. Xi understands that if the people and politicians in the US are expending most of our energy and attention fighting each other, we will not pay attention to China and its march toward replacing the US as the world’s only superpower. Xi also understands that he has an ally in the progressives of the US whether they understand this fact or not. This is part of China’s Marxist war.

Xi Jinping sees the deep divisions being fostered and encouraged by the Marxist progressives in the United States. In my opinion, he will use everything at his disposal, TICTOC comes to mind, to promote and encourage division within our country. Another form of Chiona’s Marxist War against humanity.

Xi Jinping understands that a nation divided cannot stand.

Do we?

How’s your Mandarin?

BIDEN IS NO “RALPHY”

A young boy in a winter coat and hat.President Biden Is no Ralphy. In the Christmas Movie Classic A CHRISTMAS STORY, Ralphy finally stood up to the bully ending the bully’s reign of terror. Ralphy finally dictated the terms of engagement to the bully on the playground, but Biden has not demonstrated his willingness to dictate the terms of engagement in Putin’s Russian invasion and war against Ukraine.

Biden is afraid of Putin and will not provide all weapons systems necessary for the Ukrainians to effectively defend Ukraine against the Russians, specifically Mig-29 fighter jets offered by Poland, Patriot anti-missile weapon system, and sophisticated anti-aircraft missile systems fully capable of downing Russian fighter jets. Ukrainian fighters are holding their own in the ground war, but Russian air power and missile systems are causing extensive civilian casualties and infrastructure destruction. Biden will not release the full force of the United States petroleum industry to dictate the oil supply by flooding the market and making US petroleum products available to replace or drastically reduce European dependance of Russian petroleum products, thus crippling the Russian oil industry and economy. The Biden Administration has followed the leaders of Europe regarding economic sanctions. The Administration should be clear in establishing strong secondary sanctions against all nations, including China and Iran, that support Russia and its war. Currently, the Administration’s foreign policy, Ukrainian war policy, and energy policy all show that Biden is no Ralphy.

Ralphy finally grew a pair. The question is, will Joe? If not, We the People will know that Buden is no Ralphy.

PROGRESSIVES PREFER MURDER’S OIL

A man with his hands crossed in front of him.Progressives prefer murder’s oil over America’s oil. More specifically, the left, communists, socialists, progressives, liberals, and Democrats prefer murder’s oil over oil drilled and refined in the United States. This is based on the actions, not the rhetoric, of the left including progressives. Since oil is financing much of Putin’s Russian war against Ukraine, the west, especially the United States, needs to cut off all sales of Russian and their allies oil on world markets. This must include removal of Russian and their allies oil transactions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT) system. The Biden Administration is sending representatives or third-party negotiators, like Russia, to try to negotiate increased oil production for export to the United States from murderous dictators in counties like Iran, Saudi Aribia, and Venezuela. The Administration, including the President, is also unsuccessfully requesting increased oil exports from other Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) like the United Arab Emirates. These actions show that the Biden Administration and progressives prefer murder’s oil over America’s oil.

The Biden administration and progressives think the We the People of the United States are to stupid to understand that all greenhouse gases are the same regardless of the source of the carbon during their transition to renewable energy. Progressives also believe that energy inflation is an acceptable tool to reduce carbon energy use in the United States. Perhaps the Biden Administration and progressives are the stupid ones. They believe that it is economically sound to pay other countries, many controlled by murderous dictators, for oil. This strategy also ships good paying oil jobs to foreign countries robing We the People of these good paying jobs. Our enemies, both military and economic, use energy as a weapon. Progressives and the Biden Administration fail to understand that the United States, with the largest energy reserves in the world, especially our petroleum reserves, should use energy as a weapon to crippler or destroy the economies of our enemies, especially Russia which invaded Ukraine without provocation and is committing unprecedented war crimes against the Ukrainian people.

Unfortunately, for the United States and the world, the Biden Administration, from the President to Cabinet Secretaries and regulators in the Environmental Protection Agency, The Federal Reserve System, banking, treasury, commerce, energy, and transportation at virtually every level have stated their intent to eliminate carbon-based energy produced in the United States, especially petroleum, as quickly as possible. Â This policy eliminates the possibility of using our petroleum as a weapon against tyrants like Putin and his nation Russia. The policy also guarantees continued gas price inflation into the future, at least 2024, unless Republicans win veto proof House and Senate majorities in the 2022 elections. The energy policy of the Biden Administration demonstrates that Biden and progressives prefer murder’s oil over America’s oil.

Hopefully, Putin’s Russian invasion, war, and war crimes against Ukraine and its people will show the freedom loving, independent, democratic people of the world that that murderous dictators like Putin cannot be tolerated any longer. The free world should unite to destroy the economies of dictatorships, like Putin’s, before they have the economic power to wage wars like Putin’s Russian war against Ukraine. To accomplish this goal, the free democratic countries of the world must be unified economically by enacting true free trade agreements which excludes the dictatorships of the world.

The Biden Administration’s energy and foreign policies plans are totally inept, short sighted, and strategically lacking. The potential wars of the future are not being considered by this administration, progressives, and globalists. The Biden Administration does not understand that China and Russia are uniting to wage the current and upcoming economic energy wars. When the Biden Administration acted to immediately curtail carbon-based energy production, primarily petroleum, in the United States, Russia, the world’s third largest petroleum producer, could finance its invasion and war against Ukraine with oil revenue from the United States and the rest of the world. This was because we reduced Unites States oil production and became an importer rather than an exporter of oil. Our reduction in production reduced global supply and increased the global market price for oil increasing Russian oil profits. More actions demonstrating that progressives prefer murder’s oil over America’s oil.

In addition, the Biden Administration lacks foreign, environmental, and energy policies that ensure the long-term ability to secure the rare earth minerals and capacity to produce the Lithium-ion batteries needed to power the electric vehicles that they are forcing on We the People in the United States. However, Tesla does manufacture its lithium-ion batteries in their Panasonic plant in California. The minerals needed to produce lithium-ion batteries are lithium, graphite, nickel, cobalt, manganese, copper, and aluminum (bauxite). According to United States Geological Survey information summarized in the article, Where do batteries come  from? And where do they go?, the natural reserves of these minerals in the United States do not rank among the top five countries of the world. In contrast, China is among the top three producers of lithium, graphite, copper, and aluminum (bauxite), and the United States is not listed as a top producers of these minerals in the world. Additionally, according to the 2020 United Nations publication using 2018 data, COMMODITIES AT A GLANCE Special issue on strategic battery raw materials, Commodities at a Glance: Special issue on strategic battery raw materials (unctad.org), China controls trade of critical duratives of the world lithium, cobalt and manganese supplies by aggressive import of raw materials and refined exports and produces most of the world’s graphite. The 2019 article, How Electric Car Batteries Are Made: From Mining To Driving states that mining lithium and cobalt causes harmful environmental pollution, and cobalt mines in the Congo use child labor with extremely low wages and deplorable conditions. The Biden Administration foreign, environmental, and energy policies do not provide a long term strategy to secure supplies of the essential minerals needed to produce lithium-ion batteries in the United States. This failure will make our electronic vehicle industry supply chain issues controlled by military and economic enemies, especially China. Just as progressives prefer murder’s oil over America’s oil, progressives prefer enemy murder’s lithium-ion battery mineral supplies over America’s and our ally friend’s lithium-ion mineral supplies.

PROGRESSIVES PREFER BLOOD OVER OIL

A group of soldiers running through the dirt.Progressives prefer blood over oil. More specifically, the left, communists, socialists, progressives, liberals, and Democrats prefer blood over oil. This is based on the actions, not the rhetoric, of the left including progressives. Since oil is financing much of Putin’s Russian war against Ukraine, the west, especially the United States, needs to cut off all sales of Russian and their allies’ oil on world markets. This must include removal of Russian and their allies’ oil transactions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT) system. This step would eliminate most of Russia’s oil exports as a source of financing Putin’s Russian war against Ukraine. It would also further strangle the Russian economy. This would require the Biden Administration to reverse its restrictive oil policies and return the United States to an oil exporter, not an oil importer. This action could eliminate oil imports from Russia and its allies to the United States and our allies, especially Europe. Failure to take this step will prove that progressives prefer blood over oil; and the Biden Administration, by its inaction, prefers Ukrainian blood over oil.

Progressives claim that the United States must transition from carbon energy, oil and coal, to renewable energy to save the planet at all costs, including the blood of Ukrainians. Progressives want the United States to reduce our carbon use unilaterally when they will not require the largest carbon users in the world, Russia, China, and India, to reduce their use as a precondition to reductions by the United States. Without global cooperation, the claimed reduction in greenhouse gases contributed by the United States will have an insignificant affect in reducing greenhouse gases without reductions by the world’s worst polluters. Progressives fail to understand that the United States and the world will use the same amount of carbon energy including oil during their transition regardless of the source of the oil. Progressives also believe that energy inflation is an acceptable tool to reduce carbon energy use in the United States. This is another variant of the idea that progressives prefer blood over oil because they prefer the suffering of the poor and middle class over oil. For the poor and middle class, energy inflation causses them to choose between energy and food, medicine, or other necessities. Energy inflation is like a regressive tax that adversely affects those who can least afford the added costs.

With this in mind, why should the United States pay other countries, many our enemies, for our energy when we can produce it ourselves? Imported oil also includes the added cost of tanker and other high cost means of transport of oil further raising the price of gasoline at the pump. Therefore, the United States must become energy independent, and help eliminate the need for the United States and our allies to import Russian and its allies’ oil. If the Biden Administration does not change its policies to eliminate Russian oil imports and return the United States to an energy exporter and help Europe to become far less dependent on Russian energy, then we will know that progressives prefer blood over oil by their actions.

THE OBAMA BIDEN FAILURES: AFGHANISTAN AND 9/11

 

A group of men in white and black outfits.
A large fire and smoke cloud is coming from the top of the twin towers.

The Obama Biden failures in Afghanistan will gut punch the world, especially We the People of the United States of America on 9/11/2021. This will be the twentieth anniversary of the Islamic terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, on the United States. On September 11, 2021, the terrorist Taliban will inaugurate their Afghan government while we commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the Islamic terrorist attacks on our nation planned by Al Qaida from Afghanistan under the protection of the Taliban. The sickening juxtaposition of these two events infuriates me.

A collage of pictures with the president and his military service.

Obama traded Sargent Bowe Bergdahl for five high ranking Taliban members who were being held at Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba. Bergdahl, a treasonous traitor, pled guilty to desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. He was demoted to a private, fined, and Dishonorably Discharged; but not imprisoned. Obama and his Administration naively assured We the People of the United States that none of the five would return to Afghanistan and the Taliban. The entire Obama administration was wrong, including Biden and his current Secretary of State, Blinken who was a key player in the misguided negotiations for the Taliban Five trade. Four of the five Taliban terrorists released in the trade for the traitor Bergdahl are again high-ranking leaders in the new Taliban government of Afghanistan, the first of the Obama Biden failures.

The second of the Obama Biden failures was the disastrous withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan. The withdrawal of troops to the Kabul airport occurred before US citizens and legal residents, Afghanis with Special Immigrant Visas who assisted allied forces in the war on terror in Afghanistan, and other vulnerable Afghanis were evacuated stranding hundreds to thousands of these people behind enemy Taliban terrorist lines. Estimates for stranded Americans range from 100 to 550 people. The result is that we must negotiate with Taliban terrorists to free these Americans and the others. Contrary to longstanding American military tradition, Biden left Americans and the others behind enemy lines stranding them creating a high potential for a hostage crisis.

A collage of pictures with the president and his military service.

The Obama Biden failures also include the fact that they did not complete the trial of 9/11 master mind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. In March 2007 testimony, he said, “I was responsible for the 9/11 operation, from A to Z. In a pre-trial hearing prior to the Obama inauguration in 2009, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his four co-defendants indicated the that they would plead guilty to all 9/11 charges knowing that they faced the death penalty. Mohammed noted that he had been looking to “be a martyr for long time.” The trial was never held because Obama had campaigned on closing Guantanamo Bay. The trial was delayed because of a long-failed attempt to close Guantanamo, subsequent Supreme Court rulings, and legal maneuvers by court appointed defense attorneys. These delays prevented the trial and execution of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his co-conspirators, another of the Obama Biden failures. Consequently, two decades after the 9/11 attacks, the master mind of the attacks has not faced justice. He will be happy that his friends the Taliban will hold the inauguration of their new Afghan Taliban government on the twentieth anniversary of his greatest success, the 9/11 attacks on the United States of America.

Given these three colossal Obama Biden failures, it will be difficult for me to listen to the song, I’m proud to be an American, on 9/11, 2021. This year it’s tuff to be proud of the Biden America.

AFGHANISTAN FAILURE: A 20-YEAR PROCESS

 

A group of people in military uniforms holding guns.

The Afghanistan failure has been a 20-year process. The Afghanistan failure was a failure to understand history and Islamic culture, train Afghan forces to fight independently, understand the evolution of the US and Afghan political environment, and poor intelligence or the failure to understand or properly use the intelligence provided. Since no empire or nation has exerted long term control over Afghanistan from Genghis Khan to the Soviet Union, Afghanistan is known as the graveyard of empires. Afghanistan was and is a nation ruled by tribal war lords, who are the village and regional leaders of most of Afghanistan, with many ethnic groups and tribes that have been fighting to control the nation for decades if not centuries. These groups only unite effectively to fend off external enemies. In our arrogance, US politicians and military leaders convinced themselves and our nation that our military prowess would prove the exception to centuries of failure to conquer the Afghan people.

Afghan Islamic culture is a male dominated patriarchal culture controlled by Sharia Law and tribal warfare. War lords control rural Afghan villages and regions as well as the lives of tribal Afghan fighters. Under Sharia law, women are totally subservient, westerners would say enslaved, to men. Consequently, the Afghan security forces fighters were taught from their youth to be totally subservient to war lords and village elders many of whom are Taliban. It is not difficult to imagine that this allegiance might be hard to overcome with training conducted by foreign military trainers with good pay as the primary motivation. Although these forces had good fighting capabilities and have suffered around 70,000 dead while fighting the Taliban in previous years when they could usually depend on US air support on the battlefield. With their tribal allegiances and the corruption of Afghan political and military leaders, the dedication of the Afghan security forces to their national leaders and chain of command may have been deteriorating. Retired Lt. Col. Daniel Davis described the response from Afghan soldiers on the ground as apathetic: I’m not going to die for a government that doesn’t even take care of me, that doesn’t pay me very well, and that doesn’t even give me food, bullets, resupply things, doesn’t give us backup when we need help.

Unfortunately, the United States military trained the Afghan security forces in tactics that ultimately caused our Afghanistan failure. First, for almost two decades the United States military failed to train the Afghan security forces to fight as a totally independent force without US air and intelligence support. Although Afghan forces had US air support for nearly two decades, the US failed to prepare these forces for complete withdrawal of US support. Once support for the Afghan war lost popular support in the US, at least six years ago, the US military training of Afghan security forces should have transitioned to totally independent fighting. Virtually every military commentator, including retired general Jack Keane on Fox News, stated that these forces were trained to fight with US air support. When Bagram Airbase was abandoned to the Taliban and US air support was withdrawn, the Afghan security forces lost the equalizing battlefield force that they had been trained to depend on for victory. Consequently, The Afghan security forces did not know how to fight the Taliban independently and lost the confidence, morale, and esprit de corps needed to win on the battlefield. As a result of this Afghanistan failure, the Afghan security forces simply refused to fight the Taliban and allowed the Taliban to take control of most of the county in a mere eleven days.

The second Afghanistan failure was a combined US political and military failure. US politicians, four different Commanders-in-Chief, two from each political party, failed to establish a consistent mission and exit strategy for the Afghan war. The first mission was to defeat the Taliban, which had provided Al-Quada a base of operation and training sites used to launch the 9/11 attack on the United States, defeat Al-Quada, capture or kill Osama Bin-Laden, and prevent future Al-Quada attacks on US soil. The US has not suffered another significant attack since 9/11. The Taliban and Al-Quada were not able to mount meaningful military operations in Afghanistan after 2002; and Al-Quada was no longer a threat by 2005. Osama Bin Laden, hiding in Pakistan, was not killed until May 2011. This mission was accomplished sometime between 2004 and 2011 when the United States should have conducted an orderly withdrawal from Afghanistan. Unfortunately, no exist strategy was delineated for the Afghan war; and a new mission was established for our military forces in Afghanistan.

The second mission, for each successive Commander-in-Chief, became nation building. The US military and Afghan security forces fought annual military campaigns against the Taliban to provide an environment to maintain a western style political and economic system for Afghanistan. This mission included establishing sufficient stability to conduct free democratic elections open to both men and women and allow women to hold elected office. The first national Afghan election was held in October 2004. This mission also included establishing a public education system open to both sexes, allow women to work in all segments of the economy and travel freely in public, and construct electric, water, sewer, transportation, and other infrastructure systems to support internal and external commerce, and improve the standard of living for Afghanis. Unfortunately, both the Afghan political and military systems and leaders have been plagued by corruption. This fact may have played a role in the ultimate Taliban victory if the Afghan leadership lost the support of the security forces due to their corruption. The Afghanistan failure was also a colossal failure of intelligence; or President Biden refused to believe intelligence indicating an imminent and sudden Taliban victory that occurred during the US withdrawal was a possibility.

Two men sitting at a table with microphones.

On Wednesday August 18, 2021, Secretary of Defense, retired General Lloyd J. Austin III and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley held a joint news conference to update the nation on the fall of Afghanistan and the status of the evacuation mission. General Milley indicated that our intelligence had no indication that the entire Afghan military and government could fall in eleven days. The worst estimate was several weeks while other estimates up to two years were noted. No other meaningful details about our Afghanistan failure were discussed. Apparently, the intelligence failed to determine that Taliban fighters were dispersed throughout Afghanistan ready to move rapidly against the 34 provincial capitals and other major cities and towns as the US military forces withdrew leaving the Afghan security forces to fend for themselves.

From the little that I have read, perhaps the greatest Afghanistan failure occurred at the Department of Defense and Department of State. Simply Googling Afghan security forces reveals numerous open source articles questioning the readiness of these forces including the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR). SIGAR reports are provided to both the Department of Defense and the State Department. On Monday, August 16, 2021, John Sopko, stated 

It’s not surprising I mean, we’ve been warning”my little agency”for the last almost 10 years about issues with the [Afghan National Security Forces’] capabilities and sustainment. All the signs have been there. I mean, we’ve been shining a light on it in multiple reports going back to when I started in 2012 about changing metrics, about ghosts, ghost soldiers who didn’t exist, about poor logistics, about the fact that the Afghans couldn’t sustain what we were giving them.

Apparently, the leaders of both the Department of Defense, the Department of State, and congressional oversight committees have received reports and heard testimony about the lack of readiness and sustainability of the Afghan security forces for nearly a decade. The Secretaries of Defense since 2012 all need to answer four simple questions. First, Did you believe the SIGAR reports or chose to ignore them? Second, Did you even attempt to train Afghan security forces to fight without US air support, both in training exercises and actual combat where emergency backup air support was available to prevent excessive losses if necessary? Third, Did regular Afghan security forces ever win a major battle against the Taliban without US air support; if they did, how many such battles did they win per year; and did the number of such victories decline since 2012? Forth, With the possible exception of Afghan special forces, when, if ever, did you know the Afghan security forces would not be able to win most of their battles without US air support.

The fact that a civilian, like me, with little strategic or tactical knowledge of two decades the political and military situation in Afghanistan is compelled to ask these questions both saddens and sickens me. I fear that the answers will demonstrate that our military and political leaders have either deceived We the People of the United States or they deceived themselves. Either way, the blood and treasure lost since Seal Team 6 killed Osama Bin-Laden in 2011 was, in my opinion, lost in a vain effort to sustain the unsustainable.

Finally, the greatest Afghanistan failure rests solely with President Joseph R. Biden Jr. Biden thought that his 50 years of failed experience gave him the insight to disregard the advice of the entire pentagon, intelligence community, and Department of State. He concluded that we’ll do it my way.  He ordered a rapid draw down of the few troops remaining forcing the field commander to choose between closing Bagram Airbase or the US Embassy in Kabul. The commander chose the Embassy with its civilian personal and classified documents and materials that had to be destroyed. The result was the loss of the two runways at Bagram Airbase leaving one runway at the Kabul airport for evacuation of US Embassy personal and other US civilians, other country’s civilians, and Afghanis who had supported allied operations in Afghanistan.  By that time, all US military personal, less than 1,000, and a few thousand US civilians and Afghanis reached the Kabul airport; and the Taliban controlled most of the country, roads to Kabul, and surrounded the only evacuation site in Afghanistan. As this was occurring, Biden authorized insertion of 5-6,000 prepositioned troops to secure the Kabul airport.

This withdrawal, ordered by Biden, was done unilaterally without coordination with our NATO allies Brittan, France, and Australia that also have military personal and civilians stranded behind enemy lines. The Department of State does not know how many US passport holders are now stranded behind enemy lines but estimates at least 11,000. Between 40,000 and 80,000 Afghanis and NATO citizens eligible to evacuate may also be stranded behind enemy lines. The Department of State told these civilians to make their way to the Kabul airport but stated that the United States could not guarantee safe travel. These civilians could have as many as 500 miles to travel through enemy territory including an untold number of checkpoints and undisciplined Taliban fighters. The final insult to those stranded behind enemy lines came from Secretary of Defense Austin who indicated that no mission to extract stranded groups of civilians or establish evacuation corridors are currently planned. The 50,000 to 90,000 civilians stranded behind enemy lines will have to fend for themselves. Biden is solely responsible for the blood of these civilians that he trapped behind enemy lines because he did it my way!

Several military analysists indicated that our withdrawal plan was totally flawed. US civilians, Afghanis civilian allies, NATO civilians, and other nationality civilians should have been evacuated before our military drawdown so their evacuation could be protected. Second, our significant military equipment should have been removed from Afghanistan prior to our withdrawal of military personal, especially if we suspected that the Afghan military and government would fall to the Taliban. The final step of the withdrawal should have been withdrawal of our military personal. The fact that the order of our withdrawal occurred in reverse of the above sequence is the reason that thousands of US and other civilians are stranded behind enemy lines and the Taliban now owns large numbers of our best military equipment and technology.

Biden’s Afghanistan failure constitutes the most humiliating and significant military and foreign policy defeats in modern US history. Many of our allies including the NATO countries of Brittan, France, and Australia have lost confidence in the United States. This is also a humanitarian tragedy of major proportion that will occur under Taliban rule.

OUR UNITED STATES “WITHERS AWAY” UNDER DEMOCRAT CONTROL

 

Our United States withers away under Democrat control. In my opinion, this will occur due to the progressive information and entertainment industries, and the socialist, progressive wing of the Democrat Party, the philosophically Marxist left cabal. The combination of globalism and multi-national corporations will also be a factor as our United States withers away.  For a thorough discussion of globalism and free trade, consider the GLOBALISM articles listed in the BLOG CONTENTS tab of AMERICA’S CROSSROAD. The left also controls our education system where Marxist philosophy is taught to our children from preschool to Ph.D. (Marxism PP). This educational dictatorship now includes curricula developed by The Lincoln Project, Critical Race Theorists, and Black Lives Matter which may be the subject of later articles from America’s Crossroad. Consequently, most of our younger citizens now prefer socialism over capitalism. Since the left controls entertainment, pop culture and music, the advertisement industry, literature and the publishing industry, and social media, the left controls the sights, sounds, and language of our culture. Most of the messages portrayed by this cabal are anti-Christian and anti-religion, anti-traditional family, anti-capitalist, anti-law enforcement, anti-military, and reject the idea that We the People have been a largely positive force in the history of our nation and the world. Consequently, the left rejects the positive nature of our heritage as citizens of the United States of America.

The phrase, the state withers away, was coined by Friedrich Engels in the 1892 English translation publication, Socialism: Utopian and Scientific:

The interference of the state power in social relations becomes superfluous in one sphere after another, and then ceases of itself. The government of persons is replaced by the administration of things and the direction of the processes of production. The state is not “abolished”, it withers away.

Some claim that Engels was not referring to states as nations but as the system of laws that subjugated and exploited the laboring class, proletarians, to the will of those who determined labor wages and owned and controlled the other two means of production, land and capital, capitalist or the bourgeoisie. Engels and Marx envisioned an inevitable evolutionary process leading to classless socialist states where the means of production are controlled by all the people sharing equally in the benefits of production.

However, in the section of The Communist Manifesto titled Proletarians and Communists Marx and Engels unambiguously pronounce that the phrase the state withers away refers to countries and nations as follows:

A picture of karl marx with the caption " karl marx ( 1 8 1 8-1 9 0 6 ). "

The Communists are further reproached with desiring to abolish countries and nationality.

Working men have no country.

National differences and antagonisms between peoples are daily more and more vanishing, owing to the development of the bourgeoisie [upper ruling class, landowners, and capitalists], to freedom of commerce, to the world market.

The supremacy of the proletariat [working class] will cause them [countries] to vanish still faster.

In proportion as the exploitation of one individual by another is put an end to, the exploitation of one nation by another will also be put an end to. In proportion as the antagonism between classes within the nation vanishes, the hostility of one nation to another will come to an end.  

According to Marx and Engels, when competition between states is eliminated, the state, as individual nations, withers away. By the early twentieth century, the idea that the state withers away took an ominous turn for the worst as revolutionary Marxists sought world domination under dictatorial communism. However, in twenty first century western civilization, our laws  give significant power to workers and labor unions creating a tenuous balance between the rights of capitalists and laborers. Some would say that capitalists still have an advantage in these laws. Others disagree, saying the balance is determined by supply and demand. That is the subject of much debate.

For this discussion, the Merriam-Webster online dictionary definitions of state, nation, country, border, nationality, and character. are appropriate. State is defined as

a politically organized body of people especiallythe political organization of such a body of people; a government or politically organized society having a particular character usually occupying a definite territory.

Nation is defined as follows:

A community of people composed of one or more nationalities and possessing a more or less defined territory and government; a territorial division containing a body of people of one or more nationalities and usually characterized by relatively large size and independent status.

Country is defined as an indefinite usually extended expanse of land;the land of a person’s birth, residence, or citizenship; a political state or nation or its territory. Border is defined as a boundary especially of a country or state.

Nationality is defined as follows:

A legal relationship involving allegiance on the part of an individual and usually protection on the part of the state; membership in a particular nation; political independence or existence as a separate nation; a people having a common origin, tradition, (songs, stories, and chronicles) and language capable of forming or constituting a nation-state.

Character is defined as follows:  

A feature used to separate distinguishable things into categories, a group or kind so separated; the complex of mental and ethical traits marking and often individualizing a person, group, or nation; main or essential nature especially as strongly marked and serving to distinguish.

The above definitions will provide a framework for discussion of the way Democrat control will ensure that our United States withers away.

First, it is critical to understand the collective nationality and character of the United States of America. Until the mid-twentieth century, we were a people having a common origin, tradition, (songs, stories, and chronicles) and language [English] constituting a nation-state sharing a complex of mental and ethical traits serving to distinguish the United States from other nations. We the People shared a Judeo-Christian heritage. Our laws and values are based on British Common Law with its Judeo-Christian based code of morality and ethics as is our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. This sentiment was eloquently stated by John Jay, first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States of America, in The Federalist No. 2 where he wrote,

Providence [God] has blessed it [ America] for the delight and accommodation of its inhabitants.  Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country, to one united people, a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion [Christianity with all its orders and denominations], attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, and who, have nobly established their general Liberty and Independence.

John Jay summarized the Founders’ view of the importance of Christianity to the successful future of the United States as follows:

No human society has ever been able to maintain both order and freedom, both cohesiveness and liberty apart from the moral precepts of the Christian religion. Should our Republic ever forget this fundamental precept of governance this great experiment will then be surely doomed.

The Father of our Country, George Washington, expressed similar sentiments in his Farewell Address to the Nation:

“With slight shades of difference, you have the same Religion, Manners, Habits and Political Principles.  The Independence and Liberty you possess are the work of joint councils, and joint efforts “ of common dangers, sufferings, and successes.

Of all the dispositions and habits, which lead to political prosperity, Religion, and Morality are indispensable supports. “ In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of Men and Citizens. Let us with caution indulge the supposition, that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect, that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.

The Father of our Country clearly stated our shared Judeo-Christian religion, morality and values were central to the collective nationality and character of We the People of the United States. In my opinion, most of the current societal, cultural, political, and legal problems in our nation are the consequence of our abandonment of Washington’s admonition concerning Religion and Morality.”

Secondly, our state and nation, the United States of America, has an internationally recognized border which constitutes the boundary separating our nation from the other nations of the world. Without defended or secure borders, independent nations would not exist. Since the actions and rhetoric of progressives and the Democrat Party demonstrate that they favor open borders, their policies will ensure that United States, as we know it, withers away. Military border defense is only an issue when nations are at war, but border security is critical when formulating a nation’s immigration policy. The progressive, Democrat, vision of immigration policy for the United States is to make our nation into a microcosm of the world demographically, culturally, economically, and politically. During the 2020 Presidential campaign and the first week of the Biden Administration, President Biden announced that the borders of the United States would be open to all commers with little actual restrictions related to their legal status. The administration claims that the border is closed; but the reality of over 100,000 documented illegal border crossings each month, which does not include an untold number who get away, tells the truth. The southern border of the United states is open to all. When they arrive, these illegal immigrants get promised free food, medical attention, eventually a hotel room, transportation to a location of their choice, and all the social services given to legal immigrants and citizens. Most, but not all, seeking asylum get a court date a few years in the future, but most never appear hoping for a future path to citizenship. At least 10% of these illegals also get to spread Covid-19 to our population. This transformative vision is a radicle change to the character, the complex of mental and ethical traits marking a nation, of the United States. Therefore, the character of our nation withers away.

Conservatives have a different vision. The Constitution of the United States begins by stating; We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. Our Constitution does not say we the people of the world. Conservatives understand that if immigration policy turns our nation’s character into that of the world, the United States will cease to be the beacon of freedom and hope for the world. Conservatives know, unfortunately, that progressives and the Democrat Party misrepresented the impacts of the 1965 Immigration Act on the character and texture of [our] people. In a 2015 article evaluating the 50-year impacts of the 1965 Immigration Act, Theodore White evaluated the potential impacts of progressive immigration policy in the United States as follows:

A shadow of people and an american flag

‘Only one other great republic has ever experienced such a change in the texture of its people ” the Roman Republic.’ He then observed that ‘Rome could not pass on the heritage of its past to the people of its future’ and ultimately unraveled so badly that it could no longer govern itself. ‘

Rome failed, and conservatives believe that the United States could fail if we do not change the transformative nature of our immigration policies. Put a different way, the United States of America, that existed for the first 185 years of our history, withers away.

The actions of progressives and the Democrat Party are making the United States into a socialist nation by their actions and policies related to Covid-19 recovery. Current actions and policies of the new administration and the current actions of progressives, Democrat governors and big city mayors, will create a class of citizens dependent on governmental assistance and support, socialism. Progressive, Democrat governors and mayors continue to lock down their citizens and shut down their economies, small businesses, bars and restaurants, and schools. The result is permanent small business failures and record unemployment.  The longer the shutdowns last, the greater the adverse impact will be on our economy and unemployment.  Many small business owners invested their entire life’s savings in their businesses and may not recover financially. Some of these entrepreneurs could go from employers to employees or the unemployed. They could even lose their homes and become renters, or in the worst cases, homeless. The result is that these citizens could require governmental assistance and support caused by the progressive response to the pandemic.

This is the beginning of socialism, wealth sharing and governance based on the philosophy of Karl Marx and his followers. The philosophy of Marx can be summarized as wealth redistribution from each according to their ability to each according to their need regardless of their willingness or ability to contribute to the good of society. Of course, those unable to contribute to the good of society due to physical or mental incapacity deserve our compassion and care. Consequently, as progressives and the Democrat Party lead us down this ever-increasing pace toward socialism, the character and essence of the United States withers away.

The racist, bigoted, woke progressives of our news media, social media, cancel culture, pop culture, and the Democrat Party will call conservatives like me the racists, white supremacists, white nationalists, fascists, and Nazis because our opinions are not woke enough. Conservatives are simply nationalists who want the United States of America to succeed as it did for the first 185 years of our history. It was the United States that fought a Civil War to end slavery in our country and eventually most of the rest of the world, won freedom during WWI and WWII, ended the Cold War with the Soviet Union, and built the strongest economy in the history of the world. If conservatives allow them, progressives and the Democrat Party will ensure the United States of America, as we know it, withers away.

EXTREME VETTING WILL FIND RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISTS

 

A person casting their vote into the ballot box.
Extreme vetting will ensure that terrorists cannot hide among immigrants.

Psychologists and socialists developed a system of questionnaires and interview questions, “extreme vetting,” that could identify radical Islamic terrorists; and the terrorists will be unaware that they have been identified. “Extreme vetting” could also identify those unable to assimilate into our society. After WWII, social scientists developed questionnaires and interview techniques to identify and quantify traditional family dynamics and antisemitism in the Europe and United States. The same techniques could serve as a model for extreme vetting. Discussion of this extreme vetting model is based on research described in The Frankfurt School Its History, Theories, and Political Significance (TFS) by Rolf Wiggershaus translated by Michael Robertson.

Since The Frankfurt School, as this group of scholars was known, made significant contributions to the left’s Marxist, socialist, progressive, liberal, Democrat agenda in Europe and North America, an introduction is warranted. The Frankfurt School was the only group of scholars whose contribution to Marxist thought was considered collectively significant by the editors of A DICTIONARY OF MARXIST THOUGHT (ADMT). Indeed, several books have been dedicated to the evaluation of the contribution of this group to modern Marxism and the Progressive Liberal movement. This group of German scholars of largely Jewish descent was extremely influential in assuring Marxism’s “assimilation into modern social sciences.”  After realizing that the communist revolution was not progressing as expected, this group of Marxists saw the need for a different more inclusive, multidisciplinary, incremental approach to social revolution. They saw that the contradictions between the philosophy of Marx and the realities of communism under Lenin, and later, Stalin in the Soviet Union were largely responsible lack of progress of the revolution in Western Europe and the United States. The group sought to accomplish this goal without stressing either the nature of the principles they promoted or their relationship to the widely discredited Stalinist version of Marxism by eliminating obvious Marxist terminology (ADMT p. 182-188), Stealth Marxism.

In 1923, the Institute of Social Research was established in association with faculty members and academic leaders of Frankfurt University to counter Soviet Communism and pursue an alternate path toward Marxism. In 1933, the group was exiled from Germany and moved to the United States where its principle leaders became faculty members at Columbia University. The group was directed by Max Horkheimer. His two principal associates were Friedrich Pollock and Theodor Wiesengrund-Adorno. Erich Fromm, Leo Lowenthal, and Herbert Marcuse were significant, but lesser associates of the group. Walter Benjamin, Franz Neumann, Otto Kirchheimer, Paul Lazarsfeld, and Jurgen Habermas were also important but even less integrated associates of The Frankfurt School. Publications by this diverse group included works in the areas of philosophy, sociology, social psychology, economics, national planning, musicology, psychoanalysis, political science, law, pop culture, literature, political economics, essays, and literary criticism. The motivation of this group was to promote an interdisciplinary approach, which became known as Critical Theory, for incremental transformation of society to one based on Marxist principles. With time, this approach has been expanded to include many aspects of the biological and ecological sciences, and whenever possible the physical sciences.

The Frankfurt School was at the forefront developing a model for extreme vetting. From the outset, research projects used psychological and sociological questionnaires and polling techniques as the basis for their critique of society. Their project methods included both written questionnaires and leader driven interview and discussion group methods. Their pioneering work in this area began in the early 1930’s. Eric Fromm was initially responsible for development of the questionnaires and interview techniques. According to Wiggershaus, he expected three categories of information to emerge from analysis of the data. First, he expected to develop a perspective of the political, social, and cultural views of respondents. Second, he sought to formulate social-psychological types and their relationship to various political party groups. Third, he hoped to discern methodological capabilities of questionnaires and further refine the procedures.

Fromm’s ideas for a methodology to accomplish these tasks were to infer the character structure of each person from the whole questionnaire. Questions, that would promote conclusions about the hidden, unconscious tendencies and instincts of each respondent which would reveal their character structure to trained observers, were embedded in the questionnaires. The exhaustive questionnaires included sections containing apparently innocent questions which would permit conclusions about hidden personality traits. The conclusions were validated by comparison with the general impression given by a person’s answers (TFS, p. 113-116). Accordingly, character structures should have a basis in explicit psychological theory, influenced by the empirical material of the research itself, and consistently differentiated. The purpose of these ideas was to develop a methodology that would fulfill the goals of analytical social psychology as he saw them (TFS, p.170-171). The methodology could be used for “extreme vetting” that would identify individuals with strong affinity for radical Islamic terrorism and an inability to assimilate.

Paul Lazarsfeld, was the primary empirical data analyst for the The Frankfurt School with an in-depth understanding of Marxist philosophy. He was a pragmatic and methodical social scientist. His experience evaluating, categorizing, and statistically analyzing psychological and sociological research data based on questionnaires and interviews was extensive. In guidance for interviewers and assistants Lazarsfeld noted that none of our assistants should appear in the role of a reporter or observer, but rather that each of them should blend into life naturally by means of some function or other useful to the people. His guidance was consistent with a previous statement about research involving interviews and questionnaires where he noted that

Only a researcher who is so close to the problem in his own life that he only needs to practice introspection to be able to produce a conceptual and methodological apparatus and possesses the scientific brutality to translate this experience into data and formulae which can be checked can help to make problems less opaque than they are at present (TFS, p. 166-167).

Lazarsfeld’s research was well received by the Rockefeller Foundation which financed a trip to the United States and resulted in an eventual position at Columbia University where he became the first Director of the Bureau of Applied Social Research which was the predecessor of the modern Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy. This group could be contracted to develop a tool for “extreme vetting.”

Studies on Authority and the Family was an import result of the collaboration between Fromm and Lazarsfeld. Fromm claimed that the authoritarian, patricentric, bourgeois (Capitalist) Protestant society and family resulted in character types essential for authoritarian and capitalist societies. In Fromm’s view, these character types enjoy accumulating property and capital without regard for the effect of their accumulation on fellow human beings and feel that acquisition of power is even more important than accumulation of property and capital. Studies on Authority and the Family may be one of the most significant assaults on the paternal Judeo-Christian family and Christianity of the first half of the twentieth century. Fromm used the study to formulate his sado-masochistic character type as a product of the patricentric, bourgeois-Protestant society and family. Although data from the questionnaires was not referenced by Fromm, the study appears to be the basis for a great deal of subsequent psychological research designed to demonstrate the adverse effects of the traditional Judeo-Christian family, Christianity, and religion on individuals and society under both capitalism and authoritarian governments. Again, the methodology could be adapted to accomplish “extreme vetting” of immigrants.

Although the Rockefeller Foundation and the Carnegie Foundation were approached for antisemitism research grants, the American Jewish Committee and the Jewish Labor Committee provided financing for the project. One aspect of the project dealt with antisemitism from the perspective of psychology of the masses including the instincts and thoughts of men. The project was also designed to continue development of experimental psychological research methods. The questionnaire and interview methodology developed required interviewers who know the interviewees and whom the interviewees trust. Questions included, How do you distinguish a Jew from another person?, What do you think about the Detroit Riots?, and Do you go to church? The questions established the attitudes of respondents about Jews and anti-Semitism. The interviewers were told that the openness of everyday conversational situations would allow both qualitative and quantitative analysis of the material collected in a pioneer experiment in social research that would provide insight into what working people honestly are thinking about the whole Jewish question’ and why they feel that way. Polls and interviews could not provide the insights that would be gained from conversations. Obviously, techniques are know to develop tools that would work well for “extreme vetting.”

Wiggershaus reviewed collaboration between The Frankfurt School and a group of psychologist from the University of California at Berkley, R. Nevitt Sanford, Else Frankel-Brunswik, and Daniel J. Levinson, which was a key part of the anti-Semitism project. The Berkley researchers, who referred to themselves as the Public Opinion Study Group early in the project, developed a unique combination of questionnaires, interviews, and projective psychological tests. These collaborators concluded that an indirect means of assessing anti-Semitism would be advantageous and started working to develop a method to accomplish the task. The indirect questions were formulated by using two questionnaires given consecutively to various test groups. The first questionnaire contained no obvious anti-Semitism questions or questions related to other forms of prejudice. The second questionnaire contained a mix of questions related to Jews and ethnocentrism and other subjects mixed in a manner designed to disguise the intent of the questions. The purpose of this format was to find questions in the first questionnaire with high correlation to anti-Semitism displayed in the second questionnaire and develop a highly reliable indirect research tool. Wiggershaus observed that years later Adorno made the following statement about the process of developing the questions:

We spent hours waiting for ideas to occur to us for individual items for the questionnaire. The less their relation to the main topic was visible, the prouder we were of them. We then checked these items in constant pre-tests to restrict the questionnaire and exclude those items which proved not to be sufficiently restrictive (TFS, p. 373).

One result of the collaboration between The Frankfurt School and the Berkley Public Opinion Study Group was development of the F-scale (Fascism Scale). The scale was an effort to measure psychological dimensions, variables, and syndromes, providing evidence of a connection between anti-Semitism, fascism and the destructive character in experimental proof of the threat that anti-Semitism poses to democratic civilization. Similar methodology could be developed that would provide an IT-scale and an A-scale for Islamic terrorist tendencies and assimilation potential, respectively.

The questionnaires included questions such as, Jews seem to prefer the most luxurious, extravagant, and sensual way of living; and The Jews should make a sincere effort to rid themselves of their conspicuous and irritating faults if they want to stop being persecuted. To access the level of anti-Semitism, respondents registered three levels of agreement or disagreement to each question. As in previous questionnaires, projective questions such as, What great people, living or dead, do you admire most? were inserted to evaluate respondent personality structures. Clinical case study methods including use of pictures of groups of people were used to evaluate reactions to various types of people and interpersonal relationships. Initially, seventy-seven women students participated in questionnaires ten of whom were evaluated in the clinical tests. These methods were used to reveal the groups concept of the personality which included determining modes of behavior and conscious convictions, deep-seated, often unconscious, tendencies influencing behavior and convictions, and overt and covert anti-Semitism.

According to Wiggershaus, one result of this research was A Scale for the Measurement of Anti-Semitism. The research also revealed two distinct modes of antisemitism. Affluent Jews, bankers, brokers, and merchants, etc., were viewed as oppressors by middle and lower class non-Jews who saw them as the immediate cause of their misery. Middle class Jews who usually embraced individual achievement while maintaining Jewish ethical and religious values — such as learning, intellectual achievement, social betterment, and things of the spirit contrary to the social behavior customary to their social setting were viewed as non-conformists and also experienced anti-Semitism.

The methodologies and questions exist to determine whether an individual is hiding their ties to radical Islamic terrorism and would support the Constitution of the United States over preference for Islamic enclaves governed under Sharia Law. This process would be extreme vetting. Psychologist and sociologist have developed questionnaires and interview methods that identify conscience and unconscious personality and cultural characteristics associated with what Fromm called the sado-masochistic character type which appears to be consistent with the personality type of radical Islamic terrorists. They developed a scale to measure antisemitism indicating that a scale to can be developed measure conscience and unconscious tendencies and attitudes necessary for an individual to become a terrorist. Similarly, a scale like the Fascism Scale can be developed to measure psychological dimensions, variables, and syndromes to evaluate a potential conscience and unconscious connections between radical Islamic terrorism and Islam. For conversational, individual, and group interviews, undercover intelligence officers and Special Forces operatives have the training and experience to blend into subject groups and conduct casual and non-threatening interviews necessary for effective extreme vetting. In my opinion, an effective system of extreme vetting could be implemented in a relatively short period of time. Such a system would provide far more confidence among We the People regarding immigration of people from areas known to produce radical Islamic terrorists.

PROGRESSIVE FOREIGN POLICY

 

Progressive foreign policy is based on Marxist leftist ideology and begins with the premise that all property and wealth will eventually be held in common. Marx stated it, from each according to his capacity, to each according to his need, wealth will be distributed equally among all people. Contrary to the preferred progressive assertion that Marxism is not dead; but, Marxism is a body of rational norms that have been largely assimilated into modern social sciences. The left plans with an evolutionary pace in their journey toward a society where from each according to his capacity, to each according to his need wealth is distributed among all the people. In their vision, societal changes occur first regionally, then nationally, and finally globally. Preparation for the time, when the state withers away, begins with the first steps of wealth redistribution in each state or country.

Although no one on the Left overtly states that they support progressive foreign policy in which the state “withers away,” their speeches and actual policy actions are consistent with a “withered” state of the United States on the world stage. The philosophical underpinning of this claim is discussed in detail below.

In his section of The Communist Manifesto titled Proletarians and Communists Marx made the following statement regarding national sovereignty and Progressive foreign policy:

The Communists are further reproached with desiring to abolish countries and nationality.

Working men have no country.

National differences and antagonisms between peoples are daily more and more vanishing, owing to the development of the bourgeoisie (upper ruling class, land owners, and capitalists), to freedom of commerce, to the world market.

The supremacy of the proletariat (working class) will cause them (countries) to vanish still faster.

In proportion as the exploitation of one individual by another is put an end to, the exploitation of one nation by another will also be put an end to. In proportion as the antagonism between classes within the nation vanishes, the hostility of one nation to another will come to an end (Emphasis added).

In A DICTIONARY OF MARXIST THOUGHT, Engels is quoted describing the incremental nature of the abolition of nations as follows:

The first act by virtue of which the state really constitutes itself the representative of the whole of society “ the taking possession of the means of production in the name of society “ this is, at the same time, its last independent act as a state. State interference in social relations becomes, in one domain after another, superfluous, and then withers away of itself; the government of persons is replaced by the administration of things, and by the conduct of processes of production. The state is not ‘abolished.’ It withers away (p. 467).

Ultimately, the Left, Progressives, and Liberals, as Marxists, are content with the possibility that the United States of America could eventually wither away. The result would be a worldwide Dictatorship of the Proletariat or a border-less global political economic system where wealth will be distributed equally among all people.

In large Constitutional capitalist republics like the United States with strong economies, universal K-12 education, strong secondary education system, and globally significant military power, any progress towards the socialist state is incrementally slow. The left understands that several important influences of capitalistic and predominantly Judeo-Christian societies must be reduced, controlled, or when possible eliminated. In states like ours, the mindset or worldview of the vast majority of the population must be converted from a Biblical Christian and entrepreneurial or capitalistic mindset to the socialist worldview.

To accomplish this goal in the United States, virtually every communications medium and major institutions in our culture become either tools or targets in the incremental march towards socialism envisioned by Marx. Two of the most important cultural influences are the Biblical Christian church and family. These two institutions teach and model the important relationship between the individual and God and personal responsibility. As already discussed, individualism is incompatible with implementation of the agenda of the left.

Since Marxism is a body of rational norms that have been largely assimilated into modern social sciences, the left has achieved an educational dictatorship from preschool to Ph.D. level programs. The applicable principles of Marxist philosophy are now taught in each liberal arts and social science discipline. With these educational programs, each new generation of citizens becomes more tolerant of and often in favor of a more socialist society. Under these circumstances, each generation is closer to the time when the state withers away.

The Merriam Webster on-line dictionary defines state as a politically organized body of people usually occupying a definite territory; especially:  one that is sovereign or possess supreme political power. For the state, including the United States of America, to wither away, the essential elements of state sovereignty related to domestic and foreign policy, must be whittled away.

Probably the most critical function of national sovereignty is national defense. Each of the last three Democrat presidencies, Carter, Clinton, and Obama, significantly reduced the national defense budget during their administration. These reductions included reduction in weapon system development, strategic weapons development, current weapon system procurement, and reductions in manpower. Cessation of ballistic missile defense systems and reductions in short range missile defense systems and deployment in Eastern Europe by the Obama administration have major consequences in light of the North Korean and Iranian nuclear weapons programs, testing, and ballistic missile developments. In my opinion, the Clinton reduction in combat unit numbers increased both the number and duration of deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. In light of the previous reductions in military capabilities, our commanders are concerned about the United States military ability to fight wars on two fronts. As our military capacity decreases and the capacity of other nation states increases, the possibility that the United States withers away into a single global socialist society increases over time. This is the covert or stealth nature and philosophy of progressive foreign policy.

Border control and security, as well as, sound immigration policy and laws are essential for every state to maintain its sovereignty, heritage, and national identity. Border control and security also limits the flow of illegal commerce, drugs, and immigration and improves control of legal international trade. When illegal commerce and drug trade occurs, wealth is transferred to the countries of origin of the products and drugs. Similarly, international trade agreements that promote large trade deficits with much of the world constitute wealth redistribution on a global scale.

Every sovereign state has a national identity, heritage, culture, and legal system. The Founders understood the significance of this concept. John Jay, first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States of America, eloquently stated this sentiment in The Federalist No. 2 where he wrote,

Providence (God especially when conceived of as exercising this) has in a particular manner blessed it (Independent America)for the delight and accommodation of its inhabitants. With equal pleasure I have as often taken notice, that Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country, to one united people, a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion (Primarily Christianity with all its orders and denominations), attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, and who, have nobly established their general Liberty and Independence.

This country and this people seem to have been made for each other….

Similar sentiments have hitherto prevailed among all orders and denominations of men among us.

In his Farewell Address, 1796, President George Washington, expressed similar sentiments when he wrote,

“The name American, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of Patriotism. With slight shades of difference, you have the same Religion, Manners, Habits and Political Principles. You have in a common cause fought and triumphed together; the Independence and Liberty you possess are the work of joint councils, and joint efforts “ of common dangers, sufferings, and successes.”

Washington’s farewell address also included a warning against the dangers of political parties and partisanship. His warning still has merit. Our Founders understood the importance of our country’s common Judeo-Christian heritage, independent entrepreneurial spirit of the citizenry, shared enthusiasm about their future, and commitment to the rule of law embodied in our Constitution and the Constitutions of our first 13 states.

To the Founders unity of purpose was important to the future of the new nation. When immigration policy allows immigrants who do not believe that they should assimilate into the culture of their new country, immigration slowly degrades the unique character of any state. The unique nature of each state would be altered over time, and the state would become a mirror of the global population supporting progressive foreign policy. The process hastens preparation of the culture in each state to eventually wither away into a single global socialist society. For these reasons, leftist thinking encourages open borders, and unlimited, uncontrolled immigration as part of their progressive foreign policy agenda. Consequently, our immigration policies should ensure that immigrants wishing to form enclaves and interject their own system of law and disparate codes of morality and behavior with respect to women and minorities should not be allowed to enter our country. Such beliefs are inconsistent with our Constitution and culture.

The Center for Immigration Studies, 1995, publication, Three Decades of Mass Immigration: The Legacy of the 1965 Immigration Act described the effect of immigration policy on culture and society of the United States. The publication starts as follows:

“This bill we sign today is not a revolutionary bill. It does not affect the lives of millions. It will not restructure the shape of our daily lives.”

So said President Lyndon Johnson at the signing of the (bill). The legislation, which phased out the national origins quota system first instituted in 1921, created the foundation of today’s immigration law. Contrary to the president’s assertions, it inaugurated a new era of mass immigration which has affected the lives of millions.

A group of people standing in front of a map.
Progressive foreign policy promotes global weakness, porous borders, and immigration policies that dilute our unique cultural heritage and global national identity.

Proponents repeatedly denied that the law would lead to a huge and sustained increase in the number of newcomers and become a vehicle for globalizing immigration as a component of progressive foreign policy. Prior to enactment of this law, immigration made up about 10% of annual population growth. After 25 years, immigration made up 39% of population growth. Prior to this law, about 70% of the immigrants were of European decent. In 25 years, about 40% of immigrants were Hispanic and Latin Americans, and 35% were Asians. Discounting millions of illegal immigrants, total immigration tripled. The increase was augmented by non-quota admissions and provisions for family reunification.

Finally, when leaders of a state, like the United States of America, fail to lead as they led in the past in international affairs, either diplomatically or militarily, that state’s power, prestige, and influence will wither away. Unfortunately, some withering occurred when the Bush Administration faltered in its response to Russian aggression in the country of Georgia. The Obama Administration stopped deployment of missile defense systems in Eastern Europe when Russia complained or threatened retaliation with respect to the deployment. This administration failed to take any meaningful diplomatic or military steps when Russia took Crimea from Ukraine and failed to make any significant steps toward ending Russian aggression in eastern Ukraine. The Obama Administration failed to leave a stabilizing force in Iraq; and it failed to act when Syria used chemical weapons in its Civil War after a stern warning by President Obama. The Obama Administration also failed to take a leadership role that could have changed the Middle East during or shortly after the Arab Spring, including failure to support dissidents in Iran. The administration also chose to lead from behind rather than lead the overthrow Moammar Qaddafi in Libya or insuring that Libya was stable after the overthrow. China is building and militarizing islands in international waters with no apparent or meaningful actions by the Obama Administration. In the administrative action resulting in Iranian nuclear weapons program restrictions, the Obama Administration apparently negotiated from a position of weakness. Secret side monetary, banking, and facility inspection agreements, demonstrate this weakness. Finally, the Obama Administration demonstrated its weakness by allowing the Russian military, including its Air Force, to support the Asad regime in the Syrian Civil War. These actions all contributed the “withering” effects of progressive foreign policy.

In my opinion, whether intentional or not, President Obama’s progressive foreign policy activities have allowed the power, prestige, and influence, of the United States to wither away internationally, as Marx predicted. The actions of the Obama Administration serve as a prime example of the ways that the reality of the progressive agenda and progressive foreign policy are part of the incremental manner in which Marxist philosophy is implemented on a global scale.
