CPDChina

Two recent developments are pointed reminders that we are risking disaster by ignoring the greatest threat to freedom in world history. First, the FBI arrested last week a woman who allegedly ran influence operations for the Chinese Communist Party in the course of her eleven-year career at the highest levels of government in New York State – including serving as a top advisor to Governor Kathy Hochul. The charges against Linda Su include that she allowed PRC personnel to listen in covertly to official state business calls, conduct that sounds more like espionage than promoting CCP interests. Second, in the name of “engaging” China and enhancing military-to-military ties, the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command has invited General Wu Yanan, the commander of the People’s Liberation Army’s Southern Theater, to participate in a conference next week of allied military leaders that is supposed to coordinate defenses against, wait for it, CCP aggression. These are just symptoms of how our elites have ignored and exacerbated the mortal peril we now face. Another very worrisome manifestation of this syndrome is that the malevolent intent behind the Chinese Communists’ “unrestricted warfare” and the “People’s War” they have been waging against America have received scant, if any, attention in the course of the 2024 presidential campaign. As a result, American voters are generally clueless about the growing risks of what appears now to be in the offing: a shooting war. This week’s CPDC webinar from 5:00 to 6:15 p.m. ET today will address the urgent need for our leaders to recognize the reality of the Chinese Communist Party’s determination to destroy our country and its increasing readiness to do kinetically, as well as through non- or pre-kinetic means (e.g., economic, political, information and other “unrestricted” warfare techniques) – and to equip the American people to make informed decisions this fall as to how we deter, and if necessary defeat, such aggression and under whose leadership. As it happens, a movie about a similar moment in our nation’s history, “Reagan,” is playing in theaters across America at the moment. It compellingly describes the former President’s determination to take down what he rightly understood to be his time’s “existential threat to freedom,” namely, the Soviet Communist Party. In the 1980 election, he explicitly sought a mandate to put the “Evil Empire” on the ash heap of history and liberate its enslaved peoples. In the course of this election, we need the presidential candidates to be no less clear about a menace that makes the Soviets in their heyday pale by comparison. And we need them to enlist the public’s support for a reprise of Reagan’s strategy of cutting off the cash flow, rebuilding our defenses and otherwise neutralizing the CCP threat and helping the Chinese people overthrow the regime that has long brutalized them and imperils us.

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan ludicrously danced to the Chinese Communist Party’s tune in Beijing this week, professing to have made progress reducing bilateral tensions and improving military-to-military relations. Even more preposterously, he touted as an accomplishment arranging for a future phone call between the CCP’s dictator, Xi Jinping, and the person formally known as President Joe Biden. A sanity check is urgently needed. The Chinese Communists are far advanced in their preparations for war with the United States and probably one or more of its allies and partners in East Asia. This reality will not be altered, let alone mitigated, by yet another senior American official obsequiously kowtowing in China’s capital. And a “phoner” that a ruthless thug like Xi might have with a man deemed by his own party to be unfit to lead this country five months from now can only exacerbate our mortal enemy’s conviction that we cannot, or at least will not, stand in the way of the PRC’s determined bid for global hegemony. That is especially true given that the latter individual is rightly characterized as a “controlled asset” of the Chinese Communist Party. Moreover, the two nations’ military-to-military relations will be defined by the degree to which their respective capabilities contribute to deterring the CCP’s increasing belligerence or to a shooting war. That is especially true for those capabilities most likely to be decisively needed in a theater characterized by vast oceans. This week’s CPDCwebinar provides a net assessment of the state of the U.S. and Chinese navies, their respective quantities and quality of warships and naval weapons, the readiness and morale of the personnel manning them, and the industrial capabilities necessary to support the fleet, especially in time of war. We also consider what steps the United States can and must take to enhance its capabilities in all these areas.

As the evidence continues to mount that the Chinese Communist Party under Xi Jinping has both a longstanding commitment to the destruction of the United States and increasingly imperative domestic political, economic and demographic reasons to act imminently on that mission, the danger posed by “elites” across this country “captured” by the CCP is greatly intensifying. If we are to have a chance of surviving the likely-coming violent onslaught – or even the further ratcheting up of China’s pre-kinetic “unrestricted warfare” in America – we must comprehend the magnitude of this “enemy within” problem and take corrective action now. From its inception five years ago, the Committee on the Present Danger: China has been seized with the unprecedented danger posed by the CCP’s “old friends” in every sector of our society including notably: the economic, financial, academic, cultural, media and political ones. This topic has been a prominent feature of the Committee’s webinars, with the relevant findings of the first seventy or so of these programs distilled in the book co-authored by the CPDC’s Frank Gaffney and Dede Laugesen, The Indictment: Prosecuting Communist China and Friends for Crimes against America, China and the World. Tragically, since The Indictment’s publication in May 2023, the problem posed by the CCP’s suborning of large numbers among our country’s elites has become more acute than ever –and more impossible to miss. Recent findings concerning the $30 million Joe Biden and his family have received from, among others, known Chinese intelligence operatives are but one example. Allegations that both Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz have longstanding ties to Communist China and its so-called United Front Work Department influence operations are another. And, a book-length exposé documenting the CCP compromise of legislators at every level on both sides of the aisle makes it impossible for our nation responsibly – and safely – to dismiss or ignore the very present danger thus posed. This week's CPDC webinar provides a damage assessment of Xi’s United Front operations and prescriptions about what must be done forthwith to mitigate and, to the extent possible, reverse the threat they pose.

With each passing day, concerns are growing about the prospects that artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly approaching the point where it will surpass and ultimately endanger humans. That is especially true if the Chinese Communist Party can realize its ambition to weaponize such technology against us in its pursuit of global hegemony. As author Arthur Herman put it in Commentary Magazine recently: “The fate of societies and economies founded on Western liberal principles hangs in the balance – a future that Beijing and the Chinese Communist Party want to replace with their own totalitarian template.” A front-page article in the Epoch Times last week led with the ominous headline: “Ignoring Global Risks, CCP Develops A.I. Weapons.” It went on to report: “Eager to militarily surpass the United States, the CCP is unlikely to heed safeguards related to lethal AI technologies, which are increasingly dangerous in their own right….The nature of the technology is prone to feeding some of the worst tendencies of the human psyche in general.” It continued: “Reliance on the whispers of an AI military adviser, one that instills confidence by processing mountains of data and producing convincing battle plans, could be particularly dangerous, as it may create a vision of victory where there previously wasn’t one, according to [Communist China expert Dr. Bradley] Thayer. ‘You can see how that might be very attractive to a decision maker, especially one that is hyper-aggressive, as is the CCP. It may make aggression more likely.’” In his book, Dark Aeon: Transhumanism and the War Against Humanity, Joe Allen presents a leading transhumanist’s terrifying assessment of the magnitude of the danger posed by this technology: “The foremost voice of ‘AI doom’ is Eliezer Yudkowsky….[His] goal is not to halt the creation of godlike AI. He wants that to happen. Nor is it to keep a few people from getting killed. His goal is to stop unaligned AI from killing everyone before we find a way to live forever. His bar for success is horrific. In June 2022, he wrote, ‘If you can get a powerful artificial general intelligence that carries out some pivotal superhuman engineering task with less than a fifty percent chance of killing more than one billion people, I’ll take it.’” This week’s CPDC webinar examines with these three authors the magnitude of the danger we face from the Chinese Communists’ pursuit of advanced AI technology and dictator Xi Jinping’s apparently headlong pursuit of superiority in translating it and the transhumanist initiatives it can make possible – e.g., super-warriors and swarms of man-out-of-the-loop killing machines – into potentially genocidal weaponry. We also consider how the United States must respond.

Can We Afford Lax Security Protocols in Time of War? For virtually any American to have access to classified information, they must have both a validated need-to-know and be screened for a security clearance. Historically, an individual with close personal and/or family ties or an ideological affinity for hostile powers would be deemed a security risk and ineligible for such a clearance. Surprisingly, an exception is made for elected officials. On the theory that they are vetted by voters, the President, Vice President and every member of Congress are not subjected to the standard background checks before being granted at least some access to state secrets and other sensitive information. This practice is problematic under the best of circumstances. The voting public is rarely exposed to all the information that should go into a rigorous security evaluation, let alone equipped to conduct one. In time of war, such an arrangement is an invitation to disaster. As the Committee on the Present Danger: China has long warned, the Chinese Communist Party has been waging “unrestricted warfare” against the United States since at least 1999. And in May 2019, the CCP actually declared a “People’s War” on America. And successive CPDC webinars have documented (for example, here, here and here), that Communist Chinese emperor Xi Jinping seems intent on launching an actual shooting war against Taiwan, perhaps other U.S. friends and allies and very possibly this country, as well, in the near future. This week’s CPDC webinar examines the extent to which – under present circumstances – the American people and most especially those responsible for national security can safely ignore ideological, personal, family or other ties to the Chinese Communist Party of candidates for high office, as well as evidence of such problematic ties at present.

Rumor is circulating that Chinese Communist emperor Xi Jinping has told his subordinates he is now ready for a “civil war” with Taiwan. The question is not so much whether he did or did not make such a statement, as whether one along those lines correctly reflects his current calculations, as well as his nation’s readiness to engage in such aggression. And, if so, whether it would be confined to a conflict with Taiwan or include the instigation of sabotage, assassinations and other disruptive acts – perhaps provoking a civil war – in this country, as well. This week’s CPDC webinar draws upon an all-star cast of subject matter experts to assess the available evidence on these counts and our national readiness to deter Xi and, failing that, contend with whatever he may have in the offing.

In May 2019, the Chinese Communist Party declared a “People’s War” on the United States of America. Years before, it had initiated “unrestricted warfare” against this country, using every available pre-kinetic technique to defeat us. Today, the CCP is preparing for the old-fashioned sort of war – a shooting one – in the Western Pacific and very likelyhere,as well. A tell about the extent to which those preparations are advancing is the lengths to which Xi Jinping’s regime has gone to maximize its food security by hoarding unprecedented stockpiles of grains and other foodstuffs. Another indicator is the extensiveand ongoingeffort by CCP companies to buy farmland and food production operations in this country. It provides a strategic two-fer for our mortal enemy, the Chinese Communist Party: exporting to them our pork, soybeans and other foodstuffs and, thereby, making them unavailable to American consumers. This week’s CPDC webinar examines these developments, their ominous implications and those responsible, both abroad and here. Participants also discuss the corrective actions now urgently required to maximize, rather than minimize, America’s food security.

In the course of the debate last night between a failing Joe Biden and Donald Trump, the issue of whether there will be a free and fair 2024 presidential elections featured prominently. And so it should. After all, the evidence is continuing to accumulate that the 2020 election was stolen and the prospects for at least as much skullduggery this fall are very real, as well. An open question is the extent to which the Chinese Communist Party played a role in depriving President Trump of his first reelection bid, either directly or indirectly. There is little doubt, however, that the CCP has the means and the motive to interfere to thwart his second one. This week’s CPDC webinar examines both the extent and impact of Xi Jinping’s electoral interference to date and what we might expect in this year’s election cycle. We will also discuss what can and must now be done to prevent American voters from being disenfranchised at the hands of CCP election fraud.

The arsonist tag team of Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin are busily striking sparks into Asian tinderboxes. The Russian dictator’s current visit to North Korea comes amidst relentless provocations by Kim Jong-un against the South that could precipitate conflict there at any time. Meanwhile, Communist China is provoking a fight with the Philippines, clearly testing our treaty commitment to defend that key ally. Should either, let alone both, of these acts of strategic arson precipitate actual conflagrations, the CCP may calculate that – together with ongoing ones in Ukraine and the Middle East – the time is right to seize Taiwan. If so, count on thousands of Chinese military personnel Joe Biden has let into this country lighting us up, as well. This week’s CPDC webinar identifies what the United States can do at this late hour to deter and, if necessary, defeat the CCP and its “no-limit partner,” Russia, in Xi’s bid to institute a new, hegemonic world order “with Chinese characteristics.” We examine both offensive and defensive measures – including financial and economic warfare, political warfare, and military initiatives – that can and must – be taken at this juncture.

Today is Flag Day and an appropriate occasion to reflect on the diminished presence of warships proudly displaying ours on the world’s oceans and an ominous consequence: Freedom of the seas is being increasingly threatened by the presence instead of hostile powers’ navies and what amount to pirates in a handful of strategic choke points and vital waters. This is perhaps the most immediate result of Joe Biden’s finishing off of Pax Americana – a world order in which our largely benign exercise of global power enabled general peace and enormous prosperity, both here and abroad. Today, our national security and commercial interests are at risk from the Panama Canal to the one in Suez to the Straits of Taiwan, Hormuz, Malacca and the Bab El Mandeb. Ditto those of countless others. This week’s CPDC) webinar examines the role the Chinese Communist Party is playing with its own, burgeoning fleet, dual-use shipping companies, controlled ports and proxies in places like Iran, Yemen, Algeria and the Western Pacific to enable free maritime movement for “friends of China,” but not so much for the rest of us.

President Biden’s reelection campaign is promoting his leadership in securing the United States’ southern border with Mexico by trumpeting a new Executive Order (E.O.) that ostensibly will help do that. Unfortunately for this country – and presumably for his electoral prospects – the harm done to date by Biden administration’s concerted facilitation of illegal immigration is so vast that even if the new initiative were an important corrective, it would make little difference. Worse yet, this initiative is transparently an eleventh-hour political make-over that will actually perpetuate, rather than meaningfully ameliorate, the invasion of America since January 2021. After all, the Biden E.O. allows a further 2,500 illegal aliens into the U.S. per day, provided they use the CPB1 application to apply for admission. That would translate into the authorized entry here of at least a further million aliens seeking asylum each year. By keeping the border open in this fashion, moreover, the opportunity will remain for two especially unwelcome imports from Communist China: deadly fentanyl and large numbers of unaccompanied, fit and fighting-age males, many of whom are believed to be soldiers of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). Donald Trump spoke yesterday about an agreement that he had reached during his presidency with Chinese dictator Xi Jinping that would have given the death penalty for those in China trafficking fentanyl. Whether that would have been implemented – or, like other commitments by Xi concerning cutting off the supply of fentanyl, it would have gone completely unfulfilled – will never be known for certain. What is clear, however, is that the Chinese Communist Party continues to use this lethal drug to wage what amounts to chemical warfare against us, costing by some estimates the lives of 100,000 Americans per year – and profiting handsomely from doing so. Meanwhile, the number of seeming PLA special forces and other military personnel being admitted into the United States continues to grow. Here again, it is difficult to ascertain for sure the magnitude of the problem but there appear now to be several divisions-worth present with their locations unknown, but presumably across the country, and capable of performing a variety of deadly and otherwise disruptive and destructive missions. This week’s CPDC webinar assesses the actual state of U.S. border insecurity and interior enforcement of immigration laws and the extent to which serious shortcomings are being exploited by our mortal enemy, the Chinese Communist Party. We also assess the sorts of corrective actions that are available and the impediments to their implementation.

Spain, Ireland and Norway formally recognized a non-existent state of “Palestine” today. They thus indulged in the sort of European virtue-signaling that has brought us such past “triumphs” of diplomacy as the 1928 Kellogg-Briand pact that banned war. Now as then, such delusional preening only emboldens aggressors and makes achieving a real, let alone adurable, peace infinitely less likely. To be clear, today’s tripartite malfeasance is nothing less than a reward for the terrorists of Hamas and their part in the murderous invasion of Israel on October 7. In fact, there simply is no Palestinian leader, political party or official entity that isactuallycommitted to living “side-by-side in peace” with Israel. On the contrary, theyallseek the destruction of the Jewish State. And were they to get one of their own, it wouldonly advance that cause. Unfortunately, another malevolent force stands to benefit from what Madrid, Dublin and Oslo are doing – and Team Biden’s parallel efforts to save Hamas and both undermine and defeat Israel: the Chinese Communist Party. There is growing evidence that the CCP also played a part in the invasion of Israel – and possibly a decisive one. This week's CPDC webinar reviews that evidence and how it suggests that the conflagration currently engulfing not just Israel, but much of her always dangerous neighborhood, has actually been sparked by the strategic arsonist doing business as the dictator of Communist China. In particular, we consider how the ongoing war thus set in motion for the very survival of the Jewish State and its far-reaching economic, diplomatic and strategic repercussions are redounding to the CCP’s benefit – at grave expense to Israel and to vital U.S. interests far beyond the Middle East.

Countering the CCP Threat to America Must be a Voting Issue in 2024 In Atlanta this week, the American Freedom Alliance partnered with the Committee on the Present Danger: China in holding the first of a series of urgent briefings in key swing states about what should be one of this year’s most important voting issues: The strategic arson creating a global conflagration properly dubbed not World War III, but World War Xi. After all, it was at a meeting two years ago between Chinese dictator Xi Jinping and Russia’s Vladimir Putin that they announced a “No Limits Partnership.” Its first manifestation was Putin’s Chinese-enabled invasion of Ukraine. Successive meetings in Beijing between Xi and Iranian and Palestinian leaders preceded their invasion of Israel and ensuing, regional crises. And Venezuela’s tyrant Nicholas Maduro returned from a visit to Xi in China pledging to attack neighboring Guyana. The question occurs: Will this week’s Beijing summit with Putin result in Xi’s next act of arson – perhaps against Taiwan, or even us? This CPDC webinar captures highlights of the “World War III/World War Xi” program with CPDC members who addressed: the nature of the unrestricted warfare the CCP has long waged against us; those in this country who have helped enable it; the prospects for cyber or even more violent kinetic attacks inside this country; and how we can best deter and, if necessary, defeat this greatest existential threat to freedom in our country’s history.

"Mobilize for Sovereignty: No WHO" A public Zoom meeting from the Sovereignty Coalition, Dr. Kat Lindley and Patrice Pederson with Drs. Paul E. Marik and Pierre Kory from FLCCC, 8 pm ET, Monday, May 13, 2024 GUESTS Paul E. Marik MD, FCCM, FCCP Prior to co-founding the FLCCC, Dr. Marik was best known for his revolutionary work in developing a lifesaving protocol for sepsis, a condition that causes more than 250,000 deaths yearly in the U.S. alone. Dr. Marik is an accomplished physician with special knowledge in a diverse set of medical fields, with specific training in Internal Medicine, Critical Care, Neurocritical Care, Pharmacology, Anesthesia, Nutrition, and Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. He is a former tenured Professor of Medicine and Chief of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) in Norfolk, Virginia. As part of his commitment to research and education, Dr. Marik has written over 500 peer-reviewed journal articles, 80 book chapters and authored four critical care books and the Cancer Care Monograph. His efforts have provided him with the distinction of the second most published critical care physician in the world. He has been cited over 54,500 times in peer-reviewed publications and has an H-index of 111. He has delivered over 350 lectures at international conferences and visiting professorships. As a result of his contributions, he has been the recipient of numerous teaching awards, including the National Teacher of the Year award by the American College of Physicians in 2017. In January 2022 Dr. Marik retired from EVMS to focus on continuing his leadership of the FLCCC and has already co-authored over 10 papers on therapeutic aspects of treating COVID-19. In March 2022 Dr. Marik received a commendation by unanimous vote by the Virginia House of Delegates for “his courageous treatment of critically ill COVID-19 patients and his philanthropic efforts to share his effective treatment protocols with physicians around the world.” Pierre Kory MD, MPA Pierre Kory is the former Chief of the Critical Care Service and Medical Director of the Trauma and Life Support Center at the University of Wisconsin. He is considered one of the world pioneers in the use of ultrasound by physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of critically ill patients. He helped develop and run the first national courses in Critical Care Ultrasonography in the U.S., and served as a Director of these courses with the American College of Chest Physicians for several years. He is also the senior editor of the most popular textbook in the field titled “Point of Care Ultrasound,” now in its 2nd edition and that has been translated into seven languages worldwide. He has led over 100 courses nationally and internationally, teaching physicians this now-standard skill in his specialty. Dr. Kory was also one of the U.S. pioneers in the research, development, and teaching of performing therapeutic hypothermia to treat post-cardiac arrest patients. In 2005, his hospital was the first in New York City to begin regularly treating patients with therapeutic hypothermia. He then served as an expert panel member for New York City’s Project Hypothermia, a collaborative project between the Fire Department of New York and Emergency Medical Services. This project created cooling protocols within a network of 44 regional hospitals – along with a triage and transport system that directed patients to centers of excellence in hypothermia treatment – of which his hospital was one of the first. Known as a Master Educator, Dr. Kory has won numerous departmental and divisional teaching awards in every hospital he has worked. He has delivered hundreds of courses and invited lectures throughout his career. In collaboration with Dr. Paul Marik, Dr. Kory pioneered the research and treatment of septic shock patients with high doses of intravenous ascorbic acid. His work was the first to identify the critical relationship between the time of initiation of therapy and survival in septic shock patients – an aspect of the therapy that led to understanding all the failed randomized controlled trials that employed delayed therapy. Dr. Kory has led ICUs in multiple COVID-19 hotspots throughout the pandemic. Having led his old ICU in New York City during their initial surge in May for five straight weeks, he then traveled to other COVID-19 hotspots to run COVID ICU’s in Greenville, South Carolina and Milwaukee, WI during their surges. He has co-authored five influential papers on COVID-19, with the most impactful being a paper that was the first to support the diagnosis of early COVID-19 respiratory disease as an organizing pneumonia, thus explaining the critical response of the disease to corticosteroids.

The bad news is that Columbia University and other campuses across America are under siege. The worse news is that a growing number of the perpetrators are calling for “Death to America” – and mean it literally. They are backed by Communist and Islamist organizations, comprising the aptly named “Red-Green axis,” including the Muslim Brotherhood. These sponsoring groups tend to have ties, however, to our main enemy: the Chinese Communist Party. The willingness of atheistic Marxists, both foreign and domestic, to collaborate with avowedly theocratic Sharia-supremacists seems improbable on its face. Yet, they share a common immediate goal – the elimination of the United States as an impediment to the realization of their respective, and divergent, long-term ambitions. Notably, according to a secret plan seized from the Brotherhood’s archives twenty years ago and introduced into evidence by the U.S. government during the nation’s largest terrorism finance trial, the Muslim Brothers’ mission here is a “kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within.” For their part, the CCP and its allies inside this country have for decades been waging their own form of jihad against us. They call it “unrestricted warfare,” but its object is the same as that of the Ikwan, and for that matter the Shia strain of Sharia-supremacists operating here with the support of Iran. This CPDC webinar examines the ties between those mounting an incipient Red-Green “color revolution” on America’s campuses across the country and the cultural revolutionaries of the Chinese Communist Party and its United Front Work Department. Our panel discusses the implications of this example of “captured elites” and what we can and must do about it.

A Zoom meeting | May 6, 2024 | with Sen. Ron Johnson, Dr. Kat Lindley, Frank Gaffney and Kris Ullman Sen. Johnson remarked on the 49 Republican Senators’ letter to President Biden that he spearheaded, and Dr. Kat Lindley (@KLVeritas) gave us a brief on the current state of play in Europe following her recent trip. Last week, 49 members of the U.S. Senate threw down with President Biden over his administration’s secretive plan to make the man whose malfeasance contributed to the needless deaths of over 1 million Americans during the COVID-19 Pandemic – World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus – the dictator of U.S. public health. Every Republican Senator declared that “the most recently available version of the pandemic response treaty is dead on arrival.” The signatories declared that “Instead of addressing the WHO’s well-documented shortcomings,” that accord would have the effect of “supercharging the WHO” at the expense of, among other things, freedom of speech and property rights.

Senate Republicans Throw Down with Biden to Preserve U.S. Sovereignty The Biden administration is stealthily preparing to surrender our sovereign, constitutional Republic, and the freedoms it guarantees to the World Health Organization’s unaccountable, Marxist Director-General, Tedros Ghebreyesus. What is not generally understood about the planned approval at the end of this month of what amounts to not one but two treaties that would effect such a fundamental and outrageous transformation is that the principal beneficiary of such an arrangement would be the Chinese Communist Party. It is, of course, no secret that the CCP was responsible for promoting Ghebreyesus – an obscure Maoist minister in an Ethiopian regime tied to terrorism – to be the top bureaucrat at the WHO. And his record in that position during the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated indisputably his fealty to Beijing. For example, Dr. Tedros promoted at terrible cost to us and countless others around the world such Chinese Communist priorities as: - Implementing the “China Model” in an unprecedented and disastrous response to the pandemic (including, mask mandates, social distancing, quarantines, lockdowns, and mandatory “vaccinations”) - Costing the needless loss of life of an estimated 1 million Americans (and many more elsewhere) by, among other things, precluding the early use of safe, inexpensive, and widely available therapies (including, falsely representing that their off-label use to treat COVID would be unsafe, directing doctors not to prescribe them, and discouraging pharmacists from filling such prescriptions) - Encouraging, instead, jabs with inadequately tested, and highly experimental “gene therapies,” many of them manufactured in China (subordinating the public’s interests to those of “friends of China” like Big Pharma and Bill Gates. The latter boasts of having achieved a 20x return on his investment in “vaccines”) - Using CCP-proven techniques for suppressing information at odds with WHO guidance (including weaponizing censorship by officials, medical associations and journals, and traditional and social media and penalizing doctors for using their best judgment, resulting in their loss of income and/or jobs, reputational harm and, in some cases, medical certifications) - Employing CCP surveillance tactics and techniques to control populations (including adopting Digital IDs, Big Data aggregation, and enforcement mechanisms – notably, travel restrictions – in the name of monitoring and promoting public health and instituting a proto-Chinese social credit system. All that is required to achieve its ultimate, global application is the availability of universal digital IDs – forthcoming if the two WHO treaties are approved – and Central Bank Digital Currencies) This week’s CPDC webinar from 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. ET today will consider Xi Jinping’s success to date in weaponizing the World Health Organization and what is in prospect if the Biden administration and other globalists now pressing for the approval of the two WHO treaties at the end of this month (including the World Economic Forum, the European Union, the UN, Bill Gates, and Big Pharma) have their way. It will also consider the extremely important effort unveiled this week by every Republican member of the U.S. Senate to block that agenda. See here for more on the extraordinary letter 49 Senators sent this week serving notice on President Biden about their opposition to the two WHO treaties and their determination to exercise the Senate’s constitutional right and duty to consider and vote on such accords.

Blinken Visit to Beijing May Not Portend More “Engagement,” But Conflagration Here Before Russia’s Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine, he met with Chinese dictator Xi Jinping in Beijing. Before Israel was invaded, Iranian and Palestinian leaders did the same. And after Venezuela’s Nicholas Maduro returned from meeting Xi in China’s capital, he announced that he would invade Guyana – an as-yet unfulfilled threat or, more to the point, an unexecuted order. Could yet another invasion loom after Secretary of State Tony Blinken’s visit today with Xi in Beijing? In point of fact, the Chinese Communist Party has already illegally inserted into this country multiple divisions-worth of unaccompanied, fighting-age men, apparently personnel of the People’s Liberation Army. If the CCP regards Blinken and Joe Biden, who have allowed this invasion, to be – like Xi’s aforementioned interlocutors – its “controlled assets,” our home front may soon be the locus of the next act of strategic arson by Xi Jinping. That frightening prospect makes all the more urgent abandoning the main purpose of Secretary Blinken’s ongoing trip – namely, the Biden administration’s and Wall Street’s efforts to redouble “engagement” with the Chinese Communist Party. This CPDC webinar examines specifically the practice and implications of continuing to pour mostly unwitting American investors’ funds into CCP-owned or -controlled companies. In less fraught times, such behavior has been unconscionable. Today, it is not only enabling our mortal enemy’s seemingly imminent conflict with us and/or our Pacific allies. It could help ensure America’s crushing defeat at the hands of our mortal enemy: the Chinese Communists.

New House Panel Report Exposes Xi Regime’s Direct Complicity in Murdering Us Finally, someone in official Washington has decided to tell the truth about the Chinese Communist Party’s genocidal chemical warfare against America. The House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition with the Chinese Communist Party issued the results of an investigation establishing that the blame for devastating carnage being wrought here via the deliberate weaponization of fentanyl lies squarely with our mortal enemy: the CCP. By some estimates, over 100,000 Americans will lose their lives this year alone to what the panel calls the Xi regime’s “drug warfare.” Many times that number of us have perished since the CCP initiated in 2018 what Committee on the Present Danger: China member and author of The Devil and Communist China Steven Mosher calls the “Third Opium War.” The Select Committee described the ongoing devastation as equivalent to having a jetliner with 200 people aboard crash here every single day. This is all the more unspeakably outrageous since our government knows that, in the words of the House panel: “The Chinese Communist Party promotes the fentanyl crisis through government programs, protects fentanyl traffickers operating within its borders, and directly benefits from the fentanyl crisis.” Insult is added to the immense injury inflicted by this form of Beijing’s comprehensive “unrestricted warfare” by the fact that the CCP has, so far, gotten away with it completely. This CPDC webinar addresses the damage being done to our people, society and country by the CCP’s ongoing, relentless and lethal chemical attacks and the sorts of costs that must be extracted from their perpetrators, starting now.

TOP LEGISLATORS, SOVERIGNTY COALITION MEMBERS JOIN FORCES TO OPPOSE W.H.O.’S ‘GLOBAL GOVERNANCE’ Encouraging Polling Data, Needed Emergency Campaign Unveiled WASHINGTON, D.C.— Yesterday, Members of the U.S. Senate and House, together with leaders of the Sovereignty Coalition, held a Capitol Hill press conference to voice their opposition to the imminent adoption of two World Health Organization (WHO) treaties that are set to be agreed to in just 37 days. Participants denounced the Biden administration’s intention to approve these treaties that surrender U.S. sovereignty, compromise states’ rights, and undermine, if not terminate, constitutionally guaranteed freedoms. They also presented new poll results showing likely voters’ strong opposition to the sorts of treaties being stealthily negotiated in Geneva. Coalition representatives announced a new “Not Now” emergency campaign aimed at heightening public awareness of the WHOs plans with the goal of deferring the international approval of those accords and requiring the U.S. Senate to provide its advice and consent prior to the Biden Administrations assent the Pandemic Treaty and amendments to the International Health Regulations. Those participating included Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI), Representatives Ralph Norman (SC-5), Bob Good (VA-5), Chris Smith (NJ-4), Andy Biggs (AZ-5), Chip Roy (TX-21), Matt Rosendale (MT-2), Paul Gosar (AZ-9), Tom Tiffany (WI-7) and Scott Perry (PA-10) and the Sovereignty Coalition’s: Matt Schlapp (Chairman of the Conservative Political Action Coalition), Jenny Beth Martin (President, Tea Party Patriots Action), Tony Perkins (President, Family Research Council), Kris Ullman (President, Eagle Forum), Reggie Littlejohn (President, Women’s Rights Without Frontiers and Anti-Globalist International) and Frank Gaffney (Executive Chairman, Center for Security Policy). Watch the press conference HERE. Notably, the Sovereignty Coalition released the results of a new national poll of 1,000 likely voters conducted last week by McLaughlin and Associates. As Senator Johnson observed, when asked “Do you want decisions about your health made by people you elect, or an international official appointed by the Chinese Communist Party?” respondents preferred our present system over the “global governance” alternative by a margin of nearly 75 to 9 percent. They also expressed a preference for a candidate who wants the Senate to approve the WHO treaties over one that doesn’t by a 64 to 16 percent margin. The Coalition encourages patriotic Americans to learn more about the Biden administration’s plan to surrender our sovereignty and prevent the Senate from performing its constitutional duty of quality control on the two WHO treaties by visiting SovereigntyCoalition.org and join its “Not Now” Campaign at once. There is literally not a moment to lose. ## CONTACTS: To interview representatives of the Sovereignty Coalition, contact Matthew Franklin at MFranklin@SecureFreedom.org.

WestPac: Engage With America’s Allies, Not Our Mortal Enemy – and Theirs, the CCP The Take-aways from the Tripartite Summit, and Next Steps The Western Pacific has gotten some welcome attention this week with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida addressing a joint session of Congress and summiting with President Biden and their Philippine counterpart, Ferdinand Marcos. Unfortunately, the needed display of allied solidarity and professed resolve in countering the Chinese Communist Party’s intensifying aggression throughout the region has been undercut by two realities. First, a very contrary message was communicated immediately before the events in Washington this week by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s latest appeasement tourism in Beijing. Her message of Team Biden’s determination to “engage” with the CCP is a seriously fraught one to be communicating even as the CCP’s forces are routinely assaulting Philippine vessels and penetrating Japanese airspace and waters – as they are those of a fourth strategically critical, but uninvited, regional partner: Taiwan. At a time when Team Biden is actively betraying its most important ally in the Mideast, Israel, there is no room for signaling that America is determined to undermine any others by “engaging” with the CCP. Second, in the course of his address to Congress yesterday, Prime Minister Kishida urged Americans to overcome “an undercurrent of self-doubt [about our role in a] world [now] at history’s turning point.” Actually, what millions of us are doubting is the quality of our leadership at such a moment. The retiring chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, Rep. Mike Gallagher, warned this week that we’re in “a new Cold War” with the CCP, declaring, “Rather than denying the existence of this struggle, Washington should own it and win it.” For his part, House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer just announced that he will (finally) be launching next week a series of hearings in connection with his panel’s ongoing investigation into the CCP’s political warfare here. (The Committee on the Present Danger: China is proud that two of its distinguished members, Brigadier General “Rob” Spalding, U.S. Air Force (Ret.) and Colonel Grant Newsham, U.S. Marine Corps (Ret.) will be among its expert witnesses.) There’s an elephant in the room, however, that has yet to be formally acknowledged, let alone corrected: As another of the CPDC’s members, retired CIA spy Sam Faddis, has observed, in the lexicon of recruiting and running agents, President Joe Biden would be characterized as “a controlled asset of the Chinese Communist Party.” Obviously, we can’t win a cold war, let alone the now-looming hot one, with a leader whose loyalty and conduct we have plenty of reason to doubt. This CPDC webinar takes stock of the state of America’s alliance relations and vital interests in the Western Pacific against the backdrop of these and other factors that dangerously imperil them.

The CCP’s ‘Unrestricted Warfare’ on Our Kids and Families Joe Biden’s White House designated Easter Sunday as “Transgender Day of Visibility.” This was but the latest – if the most visible and egregious – manifestation of his administration’s fevered embrace of an agenda and community that until recently had been clinically characterized and treated as a manifestation of a psychological disorder known as gender dysphoria. Today, however, large numbers of American youth are identifying as “transexual,” “bisexual,” homosexual and/or “gender fluid.” The costs to them and society are skyrocketing – notably, those associated with expensive surgeries, hormone treatments, therapy and suicides. The impact on many millions of American families is profound and destructive. What is largely missed in the growing controversy about so-called “transgenderism” and its elevation as a protected religious practice – to the point of displacing the official observance of Christianity’s most sacred day – by Team Biden and its partisans is the extent to which this divisive and corrosive phenomenon is being weaponized by our mortal enemy, the Chinese Communist Party. This CPDC webinar examines how the transgender “movement” and agenda fits Mao’s cultural Marxist playbook and is being promoted aggressively inside the United States by the CCP and its allies via – among other vehicles, the Biden administration, TikTok and Hollywood – with extremely detrimental effects on, among other targets, the U.S. military.
