Secure Freedom Minute

Chinese Communist emperor Xi Jinping and his Russian vassal, Vladimir Putin, got together again last week. The meeting in Beijing appears to fit a pattern in which such summits precede, and apparently set the stage for the participants to engage in, acts of coordinated aggression. 
That was certainly true with respect to Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine and Hamas’ invasion of Israel last year. 
After Xi’s latest summit, China’s military has conducted what are described as “punishment exercises” encircling Taiwan with comprehensive air, army, missile and naval exercises. They coincided with bellicose denunciations of the inaugural address by Taiwan’s new president, William Lai, which may provide a pretext for war.
The question is: If Xi and Putin have agreed that the time is now right for offensive action against Taiwan, does their plan include disruptive operations inside the United States, as well?

Yesterday, twenty-four Republican governors became the latest officials to decry Joe Biden’s attempt to surrender our sovereignty and personal freedoms to an unprecedented global medical tyrant, the World Health Organization’s Director General Tedros Ghebreyesus. 
 
In recent weeks, twenty-two GOP attorneys general have done the same. As have every member of the Republican conference in the United States Senate. 
 
Several questions occur: Where are the Democrats? Are Republicans the only people who will be terribly impacted if two treaties that are scheduled to be rubber-stamped next week by the World Health Assembly are approved?
 
Are Republicans the only patriots who care about our freedoms and the Constitution that guarantees them? 
 
If not, now is the time for Democrats to join in a truly bipartisan rejection of the “global governance” gambit in prospect within days.

Joe Biden called an international court’s bid to prosecute Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu “outrageous.” The real outrage is that Biden’s administration evidently “greenlighted” this example of what we can expect from the “global governance” he prefers over national sovereignty. 
Worse, Team Biden will mark Memorial Day – when we honor those who died protecting our constitutional Republic – by advancing in Geneva two, still-incomplete treaties calculated to do even more damage to nations like Israel and ours. They would transform the World Health Organization’s malfeasant Director General, Tedros Ghebreyesus, into a global dictator for public health.
Tomorrow, our “Sovereignty Summit” will showcase legislators from here and around the world who oppose this surrender of sovereignty and the prospect that a Communist like Tedros will abuse such new powers for transparently political agendas – including “climate change,” “migration” and “gun violence.” Join the livestream at SovereigntyCoalition.org.

Welcome to the world of “global governance.” The international criminal court prosecutor wants Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrested for alleged “war crimes.” It’s the so-called “world community’s” latest thuggish assault on a key American ally.
 
These developments have two particularly troubling common denominators: One, they are disastrous for U.S. interests. And two, they have all been cynically encouraged by a Biden administration that publicly professes to oppose them.
 
Next week, Team Biden intends to enable vastly worse abuses by globalists who hate freedom: It’s poised to surrender our sovereignty to a new medical tyrant, the Director General of the World Health Organization.
 
On Thursday, we will host a Sovereignty Summit to showcase freedom-loving national leaders around the world rejecting such “global governance” and insisting that its perpetrators’ latest gambit not be foisted upon us next week. Join us at SovereigntyCoalition.org.

The past 24 hours have been bad for the Chinese Communist Party, but good for freedom. The CCP’s allies in Iran and Taiwan suffered strategic setbacks, heartening friends of liberty and America. 
 
The Iranian terrorist regime was rocked by the death in a helicopter crash of its president, Ebrahim Raisi, and others, setting off jubilant celebrations across the country and social media by those he had long repressed. The response underscores the people’s hostility towards tyranny. 
 
And Taiwan’s democracy swore in a new president, William Lai, committed to resisting intensifying Chinese threats to his nation and to our vital interests in the region.
 
These developments half-a-world apart offer an opportunity for the  Biden administration to demonstrate that its stands with the freedom-loving people of Iran and Taiwan, not those – both locally and in Beijing – determined to oppress them and threaten us.

The U.S. Navy’s sailor in charge of “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” was recently caught telling the truth about the so-called “woke” makeover of our armed forces. Senior Chief Thomas Riggs asserts it will all be jettisoned when Communist China attacks our first warship.
 
Unfortunately, the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Lisa Franchetti     remains committed to this program – presumably, because she’d never have gotten that job but for Biden’s cultural Marxist policies. 
 
The question is, how many others in the armed forces are similar “diversity” hires, in command not because of combat performance-based merit, but because of some “identity” preference? And how many will needlessly die when the Chinese Communist Party consequently decides we’re too weak to resist their kinetic attacks? 
 
A recent, extraordinarily powerful webinar with other military truth-tellers suggests we are likely to find out the very hard way.
