Secure Freedom Minute

A movie title seems to apply to two of the top news stories at the moment. “Kill Chain” was a documentary film released in the run-up to the controversial 2020 presidential election. It featured, among others, prominent Democratic senators warning about the ease with which voting machines still in use today could be illegally accessed and manipulated via the Internet.
Curiously, none of these legislators evinced any concern about this threat to election integrity after Joe Biden “won” that election. Nor do they seem worried about another formula for compromising free and fair elections recently enabled by the Supreme Court: inherently fraud-prone mail-in ballots. 
Meanwhile, a second breaking news item seems to have in prospect a literal kill chain – namely, the pell-mell pursuit of artificial intelligence potentially capable of imperiling mankind.
Don’t go there.

Decades of hard experience with arms control are instructive in  assessing the prospects for proposals to have the United States and Communist China create bilateral mechanisms for managing risks arising from pell-mell and fraught advances in artificial intelligence. 
It’s seductive to believe that such arrangements are desirable since totalitarian regimes should have a shared interest in averting dangerous miscalculations or unchecked threatening developments. 
In practice, however, what consistently happened was when such regimes entered into accords limiting military capabilities, they cheated on their obligations, benefited from our unilaterally conforming to ours and exploited opportunities thus afforded to collect intelligence against us. 
Legitimate concerns about the rise of U.S.-generated “FrankenAI” argue for restraint on our part. But the only hope for actually mitigating the threat posed by China’s headlong pursuit of perilous artificial intelligence is the end of the Chinese Communist Party.

Good news! Last week’s Republican Midterm Convention did address what was, in a manner of speaking, the elephant in the room. Four powerful leaders warned about what amounts to the threat posed by sharia-supremacism – and the need to equip American voters to reject the Democratic Party’s embrace of its adherents and their Marxist allies and enablers.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz, former House Intelligence Committee Chairman and Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers, Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. all warned about what’s on the line this fall. 
In short, the Republican Party’s historic commitment to liberty stands in stark contrast to the Democratic Party’s enabling of slavery from its inception to its embrace today of Muslim Brotherhood jihadists and Democratic Socialists of America Marxists who would enslave us all. 
Choose freedom.

Twenty-five years ago today, I witnessed the impact of an insidious Muslim Brotherhood influence operation aimed at manipulating President George W. Bush kick into gear, with profoundly harmful effects ever since.  
The Brothers’ immediate object was to obscure the impetus behind what were acts of jihad animated by Islam’s strategy for conquest called sharia. They persuaded Mr. Bush to say “Islam is peace” and declare a “war on terror.” 
The very good news is the Republican Midterm Convention yesterday signaled the sharia-supremacist threat that has profoundly metastasized for twenty-five years is now not only going to be correctly characterized. The GOP seems poised finally to act against it.
Successive party leaders denounced the Democrats’ embrace of jihadists and their Marxist allies. The stage is set for the needed electoral choice between slavery at their hands and freedom. Let’s roll.

It seems impossible that there could be an ignored elephant at aRepublican Midterm Convention. But there was nary a wordfrom the main stage yesterday about the threat that isincreasingly evident in the state of Texas and across the land.
That’s even more bizarre given the GOP’s political opposition isdirectly intensifying that threat by the Democrats’ embrace ofsharia-supremacism promoted by the Muslim Brotherhood, aswell as its Democratic Socialist allies.
The impact of Charlie Kirk’s murder one year ago today, isevident in the GOP convention’s silence thus far on what heidentified as the mortal threat of our time – namely, “Islam isnot compatible with Western civilization.”
The Republican convention has another chance today to makethe choice of freedom over slavery at the hands of the Red-Green axis a voting issue this fall. Let’s roll.
This is Frank Gaffney.

It’s truly providential that this week’s Republican Midterm Convention is being held on the eve of 9/11’s 25th anniversary and in Dallas, a metroplex sharia-supremacists have assiduously targeted ever since.                
It’s a perfect time and place for Republican leaders nationwide to stand for freedom and oppose the enslavement Democrats’ jihadists and their Marxist allies have in mind for all of us.
Some, however, want the GOP to stay silent on sharia to court Muslim votes and money.                                 
That’s a delusional formula for: patriotic voters staying home; a Democrat blow-out in the midterms; and a further emboldening of the Red-Green axis to believe they’ll succeed in taking down our country, guaranteeing a redoubling of their efforts.
These enemies within must be defeated. To do that requires a clearly articulated and resolute opposition, and it must start now in Dallas.
