Secure Freedom Minute

Yesterday, Governor Ron DeSantis joined Texas Governor Gregg Abbott in designating the Muslim Brotherhood and its preeminent American front group, the Council on American Islamic Relations, as foreign terrorist organizations. 
As a result, Florida agencies have been directed to undertake “all lawful measures to prevent unlawful activities by these organizations, including denying privileges or resources to anyone providing material support.”
Providing material support for terrorism is, of course, precisely what the Muslim Brothers do every day around the world – and in this country. 
Presumably, that role – as well as the MB’s inspiration for and enabling of violent acts of global jihad will feature prominently in the process President Trump has put in motion to determine whether, and to what extent, the federal government will also effectively Ban the Brotherhood.
Help us encourage the President to do just that at BantheBrotherhood.org.

On Sunday, the “Titanium Lady,” Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo, lit up one of the worst perpetrators of the sort of treachery her three-part “Underwriting the Enemy” series has relentlessly exposed: J.P.Morgan’s CEO Jamie Dimon.
While Dimon was given a chance to tout his company’s commendable commitment to invest $1.5 trillion in enhancing U.S. security and resiliency, he was also pressed about his practice of raising funds for Chinese military companies. He declared that he was not going to violate American national security policy and would “absolutely walk away from deals with China…assisting with military equipment.” 
In fact, Dimon and his ilk know that doing otherwise actually violates President Trump’s America First Investment Policy – which, thanks to Rep. John Moolenaar, Congress is poised to make the law of the land.
American security and resiliency starts with ending our underwriting of the enemy.

A U.S. official just reminded Congress of the enormous threat we face from Communist China: “America’s adversaries…are already embedded in our systems, mapping our infrastructure, and preparing to disrupt critical operations at a time of their choosing….Cyberattacks on energy infrastructure are a daily reality and a growing strategic weapon.” 
This report makes all the more astounding the fact that the Securities and Exchange Commission continues to enable Chinese Communist companies – even ones blacklisted for being tied directly to the CCP’s military – to have privileged access to America’s capital markets. 
While SEC Chairman Paul Atkins says he’s going to “scrutinize” more carefully such companies and what they are doing, unless and until he terminates a 2013 Memorandum of Understanding engineered by then-Vice President Joe Biden, our investors will continue – mostly unwittingly – to prop up and otherwise underwrite the greatest threat this country has ever faced.

It’s not every day that the American people can have a direct input into the making of decisions that can critically affect the national and homeland security of the United States. Today is such a day. 
During a VictoryCo.org briefing at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time, we’ll launch a new AlignAct campaign that enables the public to communicate to President Trump the necessity of “stripping out” and “removing” the support networks of Radical Islam in this country. 
Donald Trump promised to do just that on August 15, 2016 when, as the Republican nominee for president he pledged to take numerous steps to counter Radical Islam’s ideology, known as sharia, in America. The prime-mover behind such sharia-supremacism here is the Muslim Brotherhood, a group he's considering designating as a terrorist organization. 
Join us in supporting President Trump in doing so at BantheBrotherhood.org.

A critical national security decision is currently under high-level review inside the Trump administration. By Christmas eve, the Secretaries of State and the Treasury are tasked with reporting to the President whether to designate some or all of the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations. 
This should be a no-brainer since the Brotherhood is committed to the destruction of America and its submission, along with the rest of the world, to a global “caliphate” ruling according to Islam’s totalitarian sharia code. Filmmaker Ami Horowitz brilliantly documented these ambitions in a short video entitled, “Inside the Muslim Brotherhood.”  
The Brothers are aggressively enabled by two influential, but actually subversive so-called U.S. “allies”: Qatar and Turkey. Both are actively opposing any such designation. 
But last month, Texas Governor Greg Abbot effectively banned the Brotherhood in his state. President Trump must do the same nationwide.

Official Washington is seized at the moment with the question of whether efforts to stop what amounts to chemical warfare against the United States have involved violations of the laws of war and, therefore, illegal orders to military personnel.
Specifically, congressional committees are investigating the use of lethal force to destroy Venezuelan fast boats fitting the profile of drug traffickers of the Soles cartel’s seaborne smuggling operations. 
The transparent hope of congressional Democrats and, apparently some Republicans, is to find a pretext for removing Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. 
Like the recent video by six Democratic legislators encouraging service personnel to refuse to obey illegal orders, the practical effect will be to render the U.S. armed forces less unified, focused and ready at a time when serious threats to the national security from Communist China, sharia-supremacists and other enemies are metastasizing.
