Secure Freedom Minute

Help the Iranian People Prevail, Not Their Enemies, and Ours

The fate of Iran’s despotic regime appears to be hanging in the balance. The country’s population – after almost five decades of repression, privation and sharia-indoctrination – are in the streets, risking life and limb to demand the mullahs’ overthrow. Thousands have been shot dead where they were demonstrating; others who were wounded, were subsequently executed.
To his credit, President Trump has repeatedly expressed solidarity with those seeking freedom, encouraging them to keep protesting and promising help to those subjected to murderous attacks by Iranian and imported jihadists.
On Wednesday, however, the President declared that such attacks had reportedly been suspended. While he expressed some uncertainty about the accuracy of such claims, the implication was that the promise of U.S. military action on behalf of the protesters would be suspended, as well.
America must help the Iranian people prevail – not abandon them, yet again.

We Must Ban the Brotherhood Now!

Yesterday, the U.S. government formally designated three foreign “chapters” of the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio described them “the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood chapters' violence and destabilization wherever it occurs." 
For the moment, though, other chapters and the Brotherhood’s “mother movement,” remain free to pursue their stated goal of waging a “grand jihad to destroy Western civilization from within.” 
Unfortunately, every jihadist on the planet, and every one of their – and their allies’ – still-undesignated “support networks,” will perceive that status as proof they will succeed. 
And, according to Islam’s toxic sharia doctrine, when jihadists sense weakness in their enemies, they must redouble efforts to make them “feel subdued.”
That’s a formula for much more, and terrifying, violence in America. We must ban the Brotherhood now.

No More Reprieves for the Ayatollahs

Millions of Iranians are publicly demanding the end of the sharia-supremacist regime that has brutalized them and threatened us for nearly fifty years. The mullahs are increasingly responding with murderous violence.
President Trump has lately broken with past U.S. practice by explicitly supporting those in the streets. He’s threatened to use force to that end. He’s announced that new tariffs will be imposed on Iran’s trading partners. And American military assets are on the move in the region, creating new options for action against the ayatollahs.
Iran’s government is trying a gambit that has worked in the past – buying time through negotiations over its covert nuclear weapons program. At the moment, preparations for a bilateral meeting are reportedly underway.
There should be no more reprieves for the tyrants. We must help liberate the Iranian people, not preserve their enemies in Tehran, and ours.

An Historic Turning Point in Texas

On Friday night, Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders, Steve Bannon and Glenn Beck addressed a “Save Texas” event near Dallas sponsored by Patriot Mobile. It just may prove to be a turning point in U.S. history.
Mr. Wilders warned that adherents to Islam’s totalitarian sharia code are extinguishing freedom’s “lights” – and America risks the same fate. Mr. Bannon launched a campaign to fight back with a vote in the Texan Republican primary on March 3rd proclaiming “Texas should ban sharia law.” 
And Mr. Beck reminded us that this nation has defeated other, “existential threats to freedom” and that we must rise to that posed by sharia-supremacists in our time.
Learn why every liberty-loving Texan and other American must do just that in the run-up to March 3rd and then election day this fall when banning sharia must be a voting issue. Visit BanSharia.com.

Texas Should Ban Sharia - and so Should the Rest of America

In less than two months, Texan Republican primary voters can help determine the future of our constitutional Republic by countering Islam’s toxic sharia ideology. Its adherents explicitly seek to replace our government with a global theocracy.
The ballot measure simply says “Texas should ban sharia law.” It’s been prompted by increasingly aggressive efforts by sharia-supremacists to demand accommodations that would translate into non-Muslims’ submission to their totalitarian code. 
These include: the creation of what amount to Muslim-only communities; taxpayer subsidies for jihadist Islamic organizations; mosque tribunals administering anti-constitutional sharia restrictions; and measures that effectively oblige everyone to consume “halal” foods consecrated to the Muslim god, Allah.
Texas should indeed ban sharia, and a resounding vote to do so there will encourage the rest of America to do the same.

POTUS is Rolling Up the CCP

An important webinar conducted by our Committee on the Present Danger: China yesterday revealed that President Trump is actually not pursuing the policy of so-called “restraint” towards the CCP – better characterized as “appeasement” –  favored by some of his advisors. 
Mr. Trump appears instead to be giving Chinese Communist dictator Xi Jinping a bit of his own medicine by engaging in cognitive warfare aimed at obscuring the actual “unrestricted warfare” the United States is now increasingly waging at Xi’s expense. 
So, while the President continues to profess great respect for Emperor Xi, he’s actively working to undermine him across a broad front including by: supporting the people of Iran, not China’s vassal regime there; taking out the CCP’s Venezuelan puppet, Nicholas Maduro; and challenging Chinese ambitions to dominate the rest of the world. Let’s roll!
