Exclusive Preview from the coming October issue of FreedomTalk.
Our nation stands at yet another crossroads—an existential test of our republic on par with the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, the World Wars and the Cold War. And indeed, whether or not the public is aware of it, we have been in a war for some time now. No, I’m not talking about the current Iran conflict, as that is just one facet of the “Unrestricted Warfare” of the 21st century. We are deep into a global conflict where conventional kinetic weapons (guns, bombs, missiles, etc.) are not the most devastating of weapons. It’s a war of information, psychology, culture, economics, migration and so on where every citizen is a soldier and the battlefield is everywhere.
I have written about this war numerous times in FreedomTalk and in pieces published in The Washington Times, Newsmax, Gateway Pundit and other outlets.
In “Orchestrated Invasion,” I discussed the CCP border war and the global agenda, including various other 5th-Generation warfare tactics:
Written in 1999 by People’s Liberation Army (PLA) colonels Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui, Unrestricted Warfare is the quintessential playbook of the Globalist agenda, now being executed by the CCP and proxies.
Among several categories of “unrestricted warfare” tactics, the guide lists drug warfare, terrorist warfare, ideological warfare, and more.
“Metanational threats transcend the nation state borders, operating on an interregional or even global scale,” Liang and Xiangsui wrote. “They include religious movements [such as Islam], international criminal organizations [like the Mexican cartel], and informal economic organizations that facilitate weapons proliferation [look to Iran and Hezbollah].”
“We can point out a number of other means and methods used to fight a non-military war, some of which already exist and some of which may exist in the future…” they wrote, including “…psychological warfare (spreading rumors to intimidate the enemy and break down his will); smuggling warfare (throwing markets into confusion and attacking economic order); media warfare (manipulating what people see and hear in order to lead public opinion along); drug warfare (obtaining sudden and huge illicit profits by spreading disaster in other countries).” High on the list are terrorist activity, illegal drug trade, and “out-of-control immigration.”
Abraham Lincoln delivered an address in Springfield, Illinois, on January 27, 1838, where he famously said, “All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.”
Unfortunately, this war is within our gates; the enemy is among us and in the minds of some of our own citizens like a virus threatening to destroy the host. Lincoln recognized this vulnerability when he added, “At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”
The world is witnessing the suicide of Europe by invited invasion in real time, as the hard-won sovereignty of western nations is being destroyed before our eyes.
We have a republic, as Benjamin Franklin said, if we can keep it. I hope that we can, but if not, we must be prepared to fight like hell to get it back. It took Poland 50 years, from 1939 to 1989, to regain its freedom after the devastation of the German occupation, followed by the Soviets lowering the Iron Curtain. Though subjugated, Polish patriots never considered themselves conquered. I think you’d be very interested to read my article about this from the August 2024 issue, “When Communism Bowed to the Cross.”
The prescient words of Ronald Reagan jump into our time: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction—we didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children, what it once was like in the United States when men were free.”
Whatever happens in this midterm contest, we must hold on to that divinely granted freedom at any cost and refuse to let anyone take it away. For as Samuel Adams, the Father of the American Revolution, said, “The right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of man to alienate this gift and voluntarily become a slave.”
