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.

What We Have Learned from the Disaster in Baltimore, and Should Have Already A foreign-owned and -operated ship just destroyed an important bridge in Baltimore, with devastating impact on its port and people – and still-cascading disruptions in the U.S. transportation, commercial, and trade sectors. While the official inquiry into what happened has just gotten underway, the huge container vessel known as the Dali clearly had myriad electrical and other physical problems and a checkered record of unsafe operations. Other troubling facts have already come to light: The Dali left port despite having had “serious power outages” while docked in Baltimore. She did so unaccompanied by even one of the tugboats that usually accompany such large cargo vessels to prevent precisely this sort of mishap. And that thousand-foot-long container ship struck with predictable, strategic consequences a bridge well-known for its structural vulnerabilities. Whether this disaster proves to have been nothing more than a terrible accident, it underscores an ominous reality: deliberate efforts to disrupt, or even take down, America’s vast critical infrastructure could be easily mounted with potentially catastrophic effects on this country’s population, society, and economy. And thanks especially to the destruction of our borders by the Biden administration, there are large numbers of unaccompanied, military-age men from Communist China and Sharia-supremacist nations now in this country and surely capable of sabotaging our grid and the other vital assets it powers. This CPDC webinar examines whether our enemies are poised to exploit such vulnerabilities and whether anything is being done to prevent that.

At the end of May 2024, the World Health Assembly will vote on two instruments that, if passed and implemented, would usher in a digital gulag from which there will be no escape. If the WHO gets its way, it can take over your healthcare in case of a pandemic, including mask mandates, forced vaccination, quarantines, and lockdowns. It will require a massive surveillance state using Digital IDs, which will track nearly every aspect of your life, and if you step out of line, it can be used to sever you from your bank account and credit card. It is urgent that people wake up to the fact that we are dangerously close to losing our national sovereignty and personal medical freedom. Once these are lost, getting them back will be nearly impossible. This SVPTF webinar informs the public on the WHO’s tyrannical reforms, and what citizens can do to stop them.
