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.

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.

House Vote Today is a Critical Battle in the CCP’s “Unrestricted Warfare” Against Us The outcome of a House floor vote today to disarm the CCP of its lethal weapon doing business as TikTok may determine the future course of what is now properly called “World War Xi.” As our Committee on the Present Danger: China has documented over the past five years, Chinese dictator Xi Jinping is not only engaged in “strategic arson” across the globe, setting fires with his proxies in Ukraine, Israel, the Red Sea and threatening to do so in Taiwan. His Party has also long been engaged in “unrestricted” pre-kinetic warfare against America. The CCP’s weaponization of TikTok in such warfare is on full display today as our Representatives vote on vitally needed, bipartisan legislation that would shut the platform down unless new American owners terminate its toxic algorithm, Big Data collection and influence operations. Congress must heed not the CCP’s “addicts” and lobbyists but the patriots who understand that a defeat in this fight may lead to decisive ones in the violent battles Xi has in store for us next. This CPDC webinar examines the various ways in which TikTok poses a threat to the United States and her people; how the platform has been weaponized to date, including for the purpose of defeating the bipartisan legislation requiring its divestment from the CCP; and the means by which it will be used in the future against America if not divested; and the importance of taking action to defuse this ticking time-bomb now Moderator: - Frank Gaffney, Founder and Executive Chairman, Center for Security Policy; Vice Chairman, Committee on the Present Danger: China, co-author, “The Indictment: Prosecuting the Chinese Communist Party and Friends for Crimes Against America, China, and the World” Panelists: - Charles “Sam” Faddis, Former Career Clandestine Service Officer, Central Intelligence Agency; Army veteran; author, “The Decline and Fall of the CIA”; editor, AndMagazine at Substack – Topic: “Political subversion in the CCP’s unrestricted warfare and TikTok’s role in it” - Colonel John Mills U.S. Army (Ret.), Former Special Operator specializing in Psychological Warfare; former senior official responsible for Cyber Policy in the Office of Secretary of Defense; author, “War Against The Deep State,” and “The Nation Will Follow: Firsthand Experiences Fighting the Deep State and the Action Plan for the American Citizen” - Brian Costello, Longtime tech investor and artificial intelligence entrepreneur – Topic: “How TikTok is Weaponized Against Us” - Captain James Fanell, U.S. Navy (Ret.), Former Director of Intelligence and Information Operations, U.S. Pacific Fleet; co-author, “Embracing Communist China: America’s Greatest Strategic Failure” – Topic: “The CCP’s Unrestricted Warfare on the United States and How TikTok Fits Into Its Lethal Attacks” - Gordon Chang, Senior Fellow, Gatestone Institute; columnist, Newsweek; author, “China is Going to War,” and “The Coming Collapse of China” – Topic: “The Effects of TikTok’s Warfare Against America and Why Corrective Action is Required” - Connie Elliott, Subject Matter Expert on totalitarians and how they secure and maintain power – Topic: “Defusing the Ticking TikTok Time-Bomb”

Indications that Trouble for the CCP at Home Will Mean More Trouble for Us The evidence continues to mount that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is in real difficulty financially, economically, demographically and politically. Some assert that such problems will preclude Xi Jinping from pursuing his ambitions to acquire Taiwan, by one means or another, or engage in aggression against her friends, like us. The totality of Xi’s policies and conduct, however, suggest that – if anything – the Communist emperor is actually more likely to act aggressively under these circumstances. This CPDC webinar examines: the nature and extent of the CCP’s internal difficulties; its preparations nonetheless of the Chinese people, society and military for the sacrifices required to mobilize for and wage war; and the further encouragement Xi Jinping may be taking from the combined effects of an American president who is, at best, unwilling to treat Communist China as an adversary and, at worst, incentivizing Xi’s aggression by making this country ever-more-vulnerable to conflict.

The Senate Needs a New Minority Leader for the Next Eight Months Senator Mitch McConnell announced this week that he will not run again for the post of his chamber’s Minority Leader after the November election. But, for a number of reasons directly relevant to the concerns of the Committee on the Present Danger: China, he needs to resign that position now, not cling to it for the next eight, critical months. For one thing, Senator McConnell and his wife, former Labor and Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, have made large personal fortunes in the family shipping business with Communist China. Such ties deserve serious examination, especially in light of the recent demise of Secretary Chao’s sister, Angela Chao, who also had extensive ties to the CCP, in a pond on the McConnells’ ranch in Texas under circumstances now deemed to warrant a criminal investigation. Given the Senator’s longtime involvement with the Chinese Communist Party and his very strained relationship with former President Donald Trump, he would be in a position to undermine the re-election bid of a man the CCP helped remove from office with its COVID-19 biological weapons attack – and definitely does not want to return to the White House. Mr. McConnell may also reprise over the next eight months his practice of exploiting control over campaign resources to subvert Republican candidates for the many Democrat-held and open Senate seats this fall who would not be aligned with him. That may redound especially to the detriment of GOP critics of the PRC. Then, there is the prospect that Senator McConnell will continue to perform as the Democrats’ controlled-opposition – going along with agendas that benefit the Chinese Communist Party, including border insecurity, reckless deficit spending, “global governance,” and climate change that most GOP voters categorically reject. This CPDC webinar considers Senator McConnell’s record in these regards and the harm that may befall the Republic should he remain as Senate Minority Leader between now and November.

The Chinese Communist Party has taken what may be its first steps toward imminent military action against Taiwan. If the United States fails to respond decisively and quickly, it invites further aggressionon an accelerated basis. The CCP has seized on Taiwan’s intercept of a speedboat that fatally capsized near the latter’s island of Kinmen, which – along with Matsu – is just off the Chinese mainland. Beijing has denied that there are “maritime boundaries” associated with those islands, setting the stage for further incursions into their waters. And, on Tuesday, a China Coast Guard vessel stopped and boarded a Taiwanese tour boat.Absent real costs, the blockade or invasion presumably of both Kinmen and Matsu may now be in the offing, and perhaps thereafter of Taiwan, itself. The opportunity to prevent such a cascading disaster will likely be fleeting. Retired Navy CaptainJames Fanellargues we must declare such Chinese belligerence a tripwire for our formal recognition of Taiwan and explicit commitment to its defense. This CPDDC webinar examines the potential for the islands previously known as Quemoy and Matsu to become once again a potential flashpoint between not only Taiwan and the PRC, but the United States, as well. As the 1960 presidential debates between then-Senator John Kennedy and then-Vice President Richard Nixon illuminated, the level of U.S. attention to the status of these islands can change rapidly. That could be even more true under present circumstances. The implications for U.S. security interests, at home and abroad, of a CCP move to seize Kinmen and Matsu require most urgent attention.

How the Chinese Communists’ “Old Friends” are Abetting Our Mortal Enemy In recent days, a series of analyses have exposed the extent to which the U.S. financial sector has been enabling the military build-up, domestic repression and global ambitions of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Among these products are analyses of: the insinuation by Vanguard and the FTSI-Russell Index of CCP “A shares” into the portfolios of many millions of mostly unwitting American investors; the extent to which Chinese companies traded on U.S. exchanges are supporting Iran’s regime and its growing threat; the involvement of 5 leading venture capital firms here in identifying and helping transfer to the CCP cutting-edge and, in many cases, militarily relevant technologies; and how Wall Street funds China’s rise. These products are the more striking as they have been issued as the Chinese capital markets, real estate sector and banks have been in free-fall. The cumulative losses for China’s own and for foreign investors are incalculable. And the fiduciary folly of continuing to send more funds from American pension participants, mutual fund, 401k plans, Exchange Trade Funds and other investment vehicles – to say nothing of the associated strategic peril – is indisputable. This CPDC webinar assesses the extent to which the Chinese Communist Party’s “old friends” on Wall Street and the people they own in official Washington are imperiling both the financial health of over 100 million American investors and the security of their countrymen and nation. We also address what must be done to prevent irreparable harm from being inflicted on all of the above when, not if, Xi Jinping’s regime either collapses or adds a shooting war to the “unrestricted warfare” the CCP has long waged against America.

With the benefit of hindsight, experts debate whether we had foreknowledge about the deadly Pearl Harbor and 9/11 attacks on our homeland. There can be no such dispute about those being readied by the Chinese Communist Party. For example, FBI Director Chris Wray warned last week that the CCP is planning to “wreak havoc” here with cyberwarfare. The same day, the Justice Department announced it had just thwarted such an attack. And a new multinational report says Chinese government hackers have been “hiding” inside our critical infrastructure for five years. Last month, ten former senior FBI executives wrote that Chinese and other military-age men invading our border threaten catastrophe. That could be especially the case if those invaders marry up with the deadly pathogens that could abound in any other CCP biolabs here like the one discovered in Reedley, California over a year ago. This CPDC webinar maps out Xi Jinping’s incipient Pearl Harbor – and what we must do about it now. Every American should see it.

Will the C.C.P. Dominate the Biotech Domain – and at What Cost to Us? A recent news article in Defense One paints a chilling picture of the Chinese Communist Party’s headlong pursuit of bio-engineering as part of its so-called “civil-military fusion” program. Notably, it says: “Central to the CCP’s efforts to achieve dominance in biology as a domain of military struggle…[are] ‘specific ethnic genetic attacks.’” That genocidal research, much of which is being conducted by the Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI), requires the acquisition of vast amounts of personal data, especially from those being targeted, including Americans. This makes all the more concerning the genetic information the Chinese Communists are collecting in this country. Using PRC-owned platforms like “23andMe” and TikTok and partnerships here with major university medical centers and research institutions, the CCP is acquiring Big Data with the intention of weaponizing it against us. The greatest source of such data, however, will likely arise from the CCP-dominated World Health Organization’s planned imposition of a universal digital ID, another powerful reason for withdrawing from and defunding the WHO. A sign of the gravity of this threat is legislation just introduced in the House of Representatives by Chairman Mike Gallagher and Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi of its Select Committee on the Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party. Entitled the BIOSECURE Act, this bill is aimed at preventing CCP companies – notably BGI – and those of other foreign adversaries from gaining access to U.S. taxpayer-underwritten funding. As Chairman Gallagher put it: Beijing Genomics Institute collects genetic data of Americans [and] uses it for research with the Chinese military. The CCP will undoubtedly use the genetic data collected by BGI to further its malign aggression, potentially even to develop a bioweapon used to target the American people. The good news is that Congress can do something about it. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle and in both chambers of Congress to support this bipartisan, bicameral legislation that finally takes action to protect Americans from actors like BGI. This CPDC webinar addresses what we need to be protected against, with regard to the bio-tech threat posed by BGI and the CCP more generally, the need for legislation like the BIOSECURE act and what else must be done.

The C.P.D.C.’s Five Years of Warnings and Recommendations for the Way Ahead For the past five years, the Committee on the Present Danger: China (CPDC) has striven to reprise a role played by the original Committee on the Present Danger nearly fifty years ago: Awakening the American people and their elected representatives about the time’s “existential threat to freedom” and presenting strategies for defeating that threat. CPD 1.0 was instrumental in one of its members’ securing a mandate for taking down the Soviet Union in the course of Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential bid and executing that mandate successfully once in office. Today’s CPD: China seeks to do the same to an enemy that far surpasses the menace posed by the USSR: the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). At this moment, leading members of the CPDC are meeting at a Summit in Washington, D.C., to take stock of the global conflict that has – notwithstanding the Committee’s best efforts to date – been sparked by the CCP’s pyromaniacal emperor, Xi Jinping. While some call it World War III, a more accurate descriptor given the serial conflagrations he has engineered to date and those now in prospect would be World War Xi. This CPDC webinar shares highlights of the previous day’s CPDC Members’ Summit and insights into both the war now underway, what may be in the offing and what the United States must do without further delay if it – and what is left of the Free World – are to survive the CCP’s three decades of truly “unrestricted warfare” and Xi’s accelerating strategic arson. The webinar features presentations by members who served during the summit as Lead Discussants for their respective topics.

Does Not Supporting Taiwan’s Independence Invite CCP Aggression? Joe Biden has stood on its head a proud moniker of American warriors: He epitomizes no better enemy and no worse friend. That deplorable distinction has been earned by, among other things: his surrender of Afghanistan; his greenlighting of a “minor Russian incursion” into Ukraine; his appeasement of Iran and undermining of Israel; and his months-long refusal to retaliate decisively for Iranian proxies’ attacks on U.S. personnel. Most recently, right after the Taiwanese electorate voted for freedom over enslavement by Communist China, Biden announced, that the United States “does not support [Taiwan’s] independence.” Clearly, that comment rejects the de facto status quo. The question is: What will be the upshot of this latest example of the Biden Doctrine of treating enemies better than friends? In particular, this CPDC webinar examines whether Xi Jinping is being encouraged to engage in the sort of aggression towards Taiwan – and perhaps other targets in the Western Pacific and beyond – that his proxies have pursued to date elsewhere. It also considers the broader prospect that Biden’s Doctrine will dangerously result in many more, and greatly emboldened, American foes and far fewer and less reliable allies.

On Saturday, voters in Taiwan will likely choose freedom over enslavement by the Chinese Communist Party. But China’s dictator, Xi Jinping, has other plans and is now poised to impose them on the Taiwanese, and the rest of the world. His ambitions are an incalculable danger for us especially because Xi is determined to prevent America from thwarting their realization. And he’s now ready to ravage, if not destroy,this countrythanks – among other things – to his successful infiltration of large numbers of apparent Chinese military personnel across the southern border that President Biden has effectively dismantled. This CPDC webinar provides a Red Alert about the threat we now face as a result of the “tinder” pyromaniacal Xi Jinping has amassed inside the United States, including the presence across America of what may be multiple divisions-worthof People’s Liberation Army special operations personnel. We examine as well as what must done now, such as, sealing that border to prevent the insertion of still more of such forces; adopting a war-footing comparable to that now in place in China; and task the FBI to stop hectoring January 6thpatriots and focus, instead, on locating, rounding-up and neutralizing Chinese – and, for that matter, jihadist – operatives positioned to wage war upon usfrom within.

Is North Korea Good-to-Go, and America’s Options The election in Taiwan on January 13th is putting into sharp relief the increasing insistence by Chinese dictator Xi Jinping that the island’s democratic form of government is an endangered species. He has mobilized his military and society for war in support of Taiwan’s forceful conquest. Xi has also precipitated through various proxies conflagrations around the world from Ukraine to Gaza to the Red Sea for a similar purpose. Unfortunately, still more acts of such Xi-engineered “strategic arson” seem in prospect, as does their intended effect: distracting the United States, depleting its financial and military resources and otherwise diminishing its ability to deal with the Chinese Communist Party’s own impending acts of aggression towards Taiwan and probably other targets in the Western Pacific. This CPDC webinar considers the possibility that the next such conflagration might be renewed conflict on the Korean Peninsula. After all, in recent months, North Korea’s totalitarian regime under Kim Jong Un has engaged in myriad tests of increasingly capable missiles, provocative military exercises and bellicose threats towards both neighboring South Korea and the United States. We explore, among other topics: The Chinese Communist Party’s influence over Kim; his abiding commitment to the forcible reunification of the Koreas under communist misrule; the implications of extensive CCP influence operations and potential Fifth Column subversion in both South Korea and the United States; the implications for human rights and America’s strategic interests if Kim were successful in his aspirations; and what the United States and its South Korean allies must do to deter Korea War 2.0 and help free the people of North Korea from the tyranny that has long and brutally oppressed them – and now poses an ever-greater threat to us.

Oppose “Natural Asset Companies” the CCP and Other Enemies Could Control The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has proposed a rule, SR-NYSE-2023-09, that would enable radical environmentalists in the Biden administration to sell off to the Chinese Communist Party and other investors federal lands, water and even air via so-called “Natural Asset Companies” (NACs) on the condition that they would preclude virtually any productive use of such resources. Private land owners may also be impacted. The deadline for public comments to the SEC was extended to January 2nd (without notice via an update to the website.) We understand, it might be extended further to January 18. Nonetheless, public comment to counter this stealthy effort to sell-off – and sell-out – America is urgent. There are numerous problems with this scheme. As Margaret Byfield of American Stewards for Liberty warned in Real Clear Markets recently, these include: - [NAC] companies would be given license to control lands, both public and private, and would be required not to conduct any “unsustainable activities, such as mining, that lead to the degradation of the ecosystems….Sovereign nations, such as the United States Government, can provide their lands toprivate investors, including those outside the United States. China, for example, may be able to invest in a NAC and effectively be a stakeholder in our national parks. Russia could assume control of lands currently leased to produce oil and place them off limits for future natural resource development. - NACs would prevent the productive use of the land, which would hurt the landowners financially, but also reduce the supply of minerals, food, and other goods that come from the land. - How might a company make control of land profitable while also not using the land? The method is admittedly confusing, perhaps intentionally. They profit from “ecological performance” such as “conservation, restoration, or sustainable management.” These NACs would quantify and monetize these natural outputs (such as air or water). The best comparison would be using the air we breathe as a cryptocurrency of sorts. And, these natural assets that collectively belong to all of us would now belong to corporations run by what many would call environmental special interests. - Traditional accounting standards would not be used to regulate NACs. Likely, this is because NACs would not withstand scrutiny under generally accepted accounting principles. - This effort would be a huge windfall for the federal government and the NACs. The government would create an entirely new revenue stream that would solely benefit the Davos-type [World Economic Forum] crowd that gives the current administration support. Both Big Government and radical environmentalists stand to benefit. - These efforts intentionally prioritize environmentalism over human flourishing. [Prospective auditors] admit that “producing these essential goods and services and managing resources wisely is as valuable, or perhaps even more valuable, than the food production.” This CPDC webinar examines the national security, economic and constitutional implications of stripping property rights and other personal freedoms from Americans in favor of a “global reset” that consolidates power and wealth in the tyrannical hands of foreign adversaries like: the Chinese Communist Party; other unelected, oppressive oligarchs; and unaccountable bureaucrats, here and abroad.

An important part of Joe Biden’s appeasement of Chinese dictator Xi Jinping formalized during their summit on the margins of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in San Francisco last month turns out to have been an agreement to launch a bilateral working group on agricultural issues. The magnitude of this U.S. concession is the greater for it comes as a growing number of Americans are recognizing the utter inadvisability of allowing the Chinese Communist Party anywhere near American farmland, the wellspring of our food supply and its associated processing plants and distribution infrastructure – let alone owning such assets. As journalist Natalie Winters reported on December 16, 2023: [During a keynote address to a CCP United Front Work Department event, U.S.] Ambassador to China Nick Burns revealed that the White House secretly established an Agricultural Working Group with the Chinese Communist Party…despite concerns over the national security risk posed by China’s foray into America’s farmland and food supply. The stunning announcement follows efforts from Republican lawmakers to forbid Chinese Communist Party-linked companies and individuals from purchasing U.S. farmland, blocking their ability to influence the security of America’s food supply. President Joe Biden, however, appears to have taken a different and considerably more inviting approach to the Chinese Communist Party on agriculture matters, according to Ambassador Burns’s recent speech. This CPDC webinar examines the national and food security threats posed by Chinese individuals and entities tied to the CCP buying up American farming real estate, processing plants and other aspects of our food supply chain. It also addresses what must be done to protect the American heartland, its people and their food security now clearly in the Chinese Communists’ crosshairs.

CPDC Webinar to Assess the Prospects for Yet Another CCP Proxy Invasion and More A big part of intelligence tradecraft – and, for that matter, the basic survival instinct – is pattern recognition. So, CIA analysts, and even mere mortals, should be picking up on an unmistakable similarity between ominous events across the globe that have, time and again, proved to be deeply problematic for the United States, her interests and decreasing number of allies. First, there was the invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022. It was preceded by a meeting between Chinese Communist dictator Xi Jinping and his “no limits” partner, Vladimir Putin. Within weeks, once Xi’s “Genocide Games” were completed, Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine. Then, in the months running up to October 7th and the worst pogrom against Jews since World War II accompanied by increasing attacks on American personnel and warships by Iran and its proxies, top mullahs and Palestinian leaders made similar pilgrimages to Beijing. And after Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro had his meeting with Xi in September, he returned home and began talking of forcibly seizing much of neighboring Guyana and mobilizing his military for that purpose. See a pattern here? Obviously, Xi Jinping is igniting these “Bonfires of the Tyrannies.” And, as the Committee on the Present Danger: China has documented in a succession of webinars (see, for example, here, here and here), his purpose transparently is to distract, deplete and otherwise disable the United States and its ability to counter what is surely coming in due course: the CCP’s own aggression, presumably against Taiwan, but probably also us. Worse yet, he has been amassing “tinder” to torch-on our own country, as well, presumably in the immediate run-up to such Chinese belligerence. This CPDC webinar assesses the prospects for Xi’s pyromania transforming Latin America into yet-another theater in the wider war he has launched to date in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. It considers, among other fraught topics: the CCP’s penetration of our hemisphere and that of its proxies, including notably Russia, Iran and Hezbollah; the infrastructure Xi is building throughout the region under his Belt and Road Initiative with which, ultimately, Communist China can project power; and other opportunities now being created and exploited in the region by the CCP & Friends (e.g., fresh revelations about the U.S. State Department’s efforts to subvert the democratic government of our Central American ally, Guatemala). We also examine the Biden administration’s recent announcement of strategic exercises with Guyana.

Webinar to Assess Latest Instance of Xi’s Strategic Pyromania In recent weeks, Iran’s Houthi proxies have engaged in a series of attacks against shipping in the Red and Arabian Seas aimed at damaging and/or seizing vessels deemed to have ties to Israel. In several of these actions, a U.S. Navy warship responded, in two instances drawing Houthi fire on itself. The prospect for a wider conflict in the strategic waters of the southern Middle East is real and growing. Among other questions raised by these provocative actions is whether, like the invasions by the Chinese Communist Party’s “No Limits” partner, Vladimir Putin, in Ukraine and its vassals in Tehran against Israel – both of w;hich were preceded by consultations in Beijing, the CCP is not only a beneficiary of such disruptions, but their instigator. This CPDC webinar assesses the nature of the warfare now taking place at sea; Iran’s direct involvement in it; the economic and strategic implications of the attacks on shipping – potentially far beyond the immediate region; the readiness of the U.S. Navymand military more generally to contend with yet another conflict; the likelihood that there will be more distracting, depleting and disabling “brushfires” ignited by the CCP in the days to come; and our options going forward.
