Fifty years and one to the day of the launching of the Yom Kippur War in 1973 (October 6, 1973) by Israel’s Arab neighbors Hamas has launched a massive attack by air, land, and sea aimed at provoking a final Arab-Israeli war and destroying the state of Israel once and for all. While such goals may be delusional fantasies of deranged extremists, the deadly import of this massive terrorist strike in dozens of locations with over 5,000 rockets fired in 20 minutes is certainly getting all of Israel’s attention.
Dozens of Arab terrorist cells have entered Israeli towns, killing Jews and taking hostages, and engaging in running gun battles with the IDF while rockets hurt and killed Jews across the State of Israel. In some instances, the Arabs have destroyed border fencing and checkpoints with Gaza and Israel, have occupied Israeli terroritory, and even seized Israeli armored vehicles.
While compared to the 1973 war, this onslaught is not major, as compared to all previous terror attacks, but this is a major attack and but is also more akin to a localized but all-out military engagement in a more conventional sense. In terms of the collective Israeli psyche, this has the same clarifying urgency and is eliciting the same kind of unity of outrage as the 1973 attack.
Of note, the conflict inside Israel over judicidal reform, in which a rogue Israeli Supreme Court was subverted by the left to essentially overturn actions by elected leaders, has been set aside. The same leftist groups urging Israelis not to answer call-ups from the military, so-called Refuseniks, have now urged all Israelis to immediately answer the call but their previous meddling in military affairs to protest in favor of judicial dictatorship may have contributed dramatically to the lack of preparation for this attack.
It’s too soon to speak of repercussions and recriminations, but already some are looking at the drama and division caused by the left, all to support judicidal supremacism to wit unelected leftist judges ruled by judicidal fiat, as aiding Israel’s Arab foes whose end is the extermination of the Jews from the Levant. But for now, the leftist opposition parties have united and declared “there is no opposition now” in light of the widely acknowledged fact Israel is at war.
Israel is celebrating Shemini Atzeret, a special holiday at the end of Sukkoth, and was in a mostly stand-down state of being, much as it was on Yom Kippur 50 years ago. A surprise Arab attack back then almost saw Israel overwhelmed. This attack was certainly a surprise, but at present, it has nothing near the same level of threat, though the genocidal intent remains the same. Few in the West, filled with corpostate media propaganda about “oppressed Palestinians” (Arabs by a different name), understand that the entirety of the Arab leadership in Gaza and in Judea and Samaria, are devoted to the removal of the Jews from the Holy Land.
The current American President’s gambit to force the “Palestinian question” into Saudi-Israeli peace talks may indeed come to naught as none of the Arab powers support the “Palestinian” Jihadist aims any more and all seem fully aware that without Iran and Turkey supporting this “Palestinian” uprising it would have been possible for some form of peace between Arabs and Jews in Israel. Saudi Arabia’s response to this fight has been remarkable: they called on Hamas to stop and for cool heads to prevail, instead of just condemning Israel.
Stay tuned here for updates as and when needed as news is revealed. Our focus will be less on compiling events and more on uncovering things not reported and giving more strategic insights than blow by blow coverage, which many news outlets are doing, though we recommend Israelnationalnews.com and Jpost.com for ongoing live coverage.
Early reports indicate possibly dozens of Israelis, including many soldiers, have been abducted and taken as hostages into Gaza, making this an unprecedented attack that is sure to elicit an extreme and unforgiving response toward all Arabs in all of Israel’s territory, without mercy. This could dramatically harm the average Arab living in these lands, who is deluded into thinking the time for pushing the Jews into the sea is at hand. An unwillingness to even countenance the existence of the State of Israel as a Jewish country that is also welcoming to its non-Jewish citizens: the goal of most Arabs in Israel is to exterminate the Jewish presence from the Holy Land.
The death toll is climbing as of 10:30 AM Eastern, US time, while at least 7 Israeli communities are at least partially occupied or under immediate armed threat by Arab militants. More than 100 Israelis are dead, and 900 Israelis have been injured in the Hamas rocket and terror assault from Beersheba to Jerusalem, Israel’s Health Ministry said.
The map below shows a potential Gaza invasion route in two phases:
A report by Newsweek reveals the FBI’s complex plan to take down dissent from within, targeting Americans for supporting Donald Trump, for not supporting the seditious DNC-run government, for not being leftists in general. According to the report, the FBI has identified MAGA supporters as potential terrorists and has created a special division to monitor these supporters and take out the ones that it deems a “terroristic threat.”
The report gave plenty of defense of the FBI, painting them as having to walk a fine line between the “unfair” perception they are somehow a biased DNC-CCP operation while also fairly going after those treasonous individuals. One anonymous FBI official told Newsweek “The FBI is in an almost impossible position,” implying support for Trump and opposition to the DNC-CCP agenda is legitimately terrorism in and of itself (which you will see shortly).
That same official added, “Especially at a time when the White House is facing Congressional Republican opposition claiming that the Biden administration has ‘weaponized’ the Bureau against the right wing, it has to tread very carefully.”
The phrase “rightwing” reveals that this anonymous official is a DNC-CCP acolyte, who knows full well that “rightwing” is pretty much synonymous with fascism and white supremacism to the “American” left.
A second anonymous source reveals the level of delusion within the FBI: “Trump’s army constitutes the greatest threat of violence domestically…politically…that’s the reality and the problem set. That’s what the FBI, as a law enforcement agency, has to deal with.”
That statement in and of itself should be more than enough reason to shut down this seditious operation and recognize it for what it is, a DNC-CCP political assassination squad hellbent on destroying the American republic and anyone who still holds to American, rather than Progmerican (which is not American at all) values. The language here is that of a far-left anti-Americanist, not an American, and it speaks to the systemic disease that has rotted this institution from within.
The FBI doesn’t help the perception at all with this extremely leftist-biased statement it gave to Newsweek in answer to allegations it was DNC-CCP biased: “The threat posed by domestic violent extremists is persistent, evolving, and deadly. The FBI’s goal is to detect and stop terrorist attacks, and our focus is on potential criminal violations, violence, and threats of violence.”
The only real threat to America domestically is from the DNC-CCP and its acolytes, the ones burning down cities and allowing criminals to go free in an effort to terrorize our nation to desperately seek authoritarian, anti-American control out of fear of the demons they themselves created or lie about.
The FBI added that “Anti-government or anti-authority violent extremism is one category of domestic terrorism, as well as one of the FBI’s top threat priorities.”
To equate being anti-government and anti-authority with terrorism is to equate the American spirt with terrorism. The founding fathers were terrorists. Libertarians are all terrorists. Resisting government at all is an act of terror. Their very statements in defense of their political assassination campaign to protect the DNC-CCP in the 2024 election reveal the deeply seditious spirit the agency is fully infested with.
The Newsweek report revealed that under this MAGA-hunting program “Sociopolitical developments — such as narratives of fraud in the recent general election, the emboldening impact of the violent breach of the U.S. Capitol, conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and conspiracy theories promoting violence — will almost certainly spur some domestic terrorists to try to engage in violence.”
Perhaps the most telling quote is from another anonymous FBI official who claimed: “Obviously, if Democratic Party supporters resort to violence, it [AGAAVE-Other] would apply to them as well,” the FBI officer said. “It doesn’t matter that there is a low likelihood of that. So yes, in practical terms, it refers to MAGA, though the carefully constructed language is wholly nonpartisan.”
Meanwhile, cities have been burned to the ground, MAGA supporters have been murdered, but the FBI wants you to believe it’s only Trump supporters that are acting in “terroristic” ways.
The FBI must be shut down immediately. Republican states should ban all cooperation with this seditious organization and issue arrest warrants for the top leaders who espouse such on-its-face expressions of sedition against the republic this agency is sworn to uphold and defend. Whoever wrote those statements officially “defending” the FBI revealed they themselves are domestic terrorists.
This writer has no doubt that the work we do here at The Freedomist would be considered “terrorism” by the FBI, an agency who has gone so far rogue it is now openly expressing that sedition without even realizing it. If you doubt the efficacy of a mass mailer election, the FBI will put you on a watch list. If you support molesting children using government teachers to do it, the FBI will defend you from “domestic terrorists,” i.e. Americans not willing to surrender their republic to the woketarian agenda this perverse, unlawful agency represents.
British Intelligence is reporting the loss of a Chinese nuclear submarine that was attempting to “trap” a British sub but ended up getting taken down when the oxygen filtration system failed, killing all 55 sailors. The CCP has denied the report’s claims.
Among the dead were the Captain and 21 officers. The submarine was attempting to maneuver to trap a British sub when it experienced a malfunction. The sub was caught in seabed defenses built by the CCP, then began running out of oxygen. The British Intelligence report claimed, “Our understanding is death caused by hypoxia (lack of oxygen) due to a system fault on the submarine. The submarine hit a chain and anchor obstacle used by the Chinese navy to trap US and allied submarines. This resulted in systems failures that took six hours to repair and surface the vessel. The on-board oxygen system poisoned the crew after a catastrophic failure.”
The incident is alleged to have happened a month ago, but until now there was no definitive reporting, until now. The report was leaked despite being rated as highly top secret. An inquiry into the leak is sure to follow.
The Chinese Communist Party has denied the report fearing being exposed as being incompetent as well as having their militant placement of sub traps aimed at catching U.S. and British subs for the purpose of killing the sailors on board. The move by the Chinese to build these sea traps could be seen as an act of war against the nations these traps were targeting.
Governor Gavin Newsome (D-CA) has selected Laphonza Butler, the President of Emily’s List, a Child Murder Advocacy Group, to replace Diane Feinstein as a Senator from California. Feinstein recently died in office well after many had recognized she was no longer fit to serve.
Butler is an advocate of abortion up to and even after birth, supporting live birth murder if it is the will of the mother. Emily’s List calls her “a leader in Democratic politics, campaign strategy, and the labor movement for decades.” They describe her as a woman who has “dedicated her life to empowering women and supporting them in finding their voice and using it to make meaningful change.”
For a woman like Butler, women’s rights boils down to being able to have casual, meaningless, disease-spreading sex without fear of the consequence of sex, pregnancy, for the child is slated, in her perverted anti-Christ mind, as the “Christ” who will pay for the sins of the mother and father that bore the child in sinful sex.
She said of inheriting her office from Newsome, “No one will ever measure up to the legacy of Senator Diane Feinstein, but I will do my best to honor her legacy and leadership by committing to work for women and girls, workers and unions, struggling parents, and off of California. I am ready to serve.”
Remember, she advocates murdering born children while pretending to represent struggling parents when the woman doesn’t even support motherhood. Rather, she wishes “woman” to be primarily associated with the right to murder your unwanted child for whatever reason you want, including murdering children that might have down syndrome, or murdering a child because they’re not a boy, or murdering a child because they don’t want their career interfered with.
We live in a truly depraved nation that would ever allow such perverted anti-Christ lunatics to ever represent any one of us, but then again, the woman has all of corporate America behind her, celebrating murdering unborn children, and even born children, and cancelling anyone that dares speak out against such wonton bloodlust.
California has fallen, and it sent another one of its anti-American, anti-human viruses to the well of the Senate to destroy what’s left of the American republic. May God have mercy on her reprobate soul, may she repent of her murderous heart and come back to the only true home any of us can ever have, the Kingdom of God.
It should come as no surprise to anyone reading this, that there is something strange happening at the southern border of the United States…even NEWSWEEK magazine is talking about it. No one who claims to watch the news at any level of attention has failed to see the hysterical cries from all levels of society in New York City that the mainstream media bothers to pay attention to, that the “migrant crisis” has finally come home to roost in the self-declared “sanctuary cities”, who are now facing just a fraction of what tiny towns along the US-Mexico border have been dealing with on a weekly basis, and for decades.
But, it is considerably more than that. In fact, it is alarming in the extreme.
In previous decades, a significant proportion of the illegal aliens crossing the US-Mexico border were women and small children; indeed, despite breathless denunciations to the contrary, the phenomenon of the “Anchor Baby” is very real. Prior to 2020, many, if not most, of the illegal crossers were unaccompanied men, actual “economic refugees” from Mexico and other parts of Central & South America, who were coming north to seek work, because even making significantly less than American-born workers, they were still able to make enough to more than fully support their families back home.
However, beginning at some point in 2020, that mixture began to significantly shift.
Beginning, again, in 2020, more and more Africans began to be observed at the border, crossing in illegally. However, like Mexican illegals before them, significant proportions of the flow were women and children.
But, beginning in 2022, the numbers shifted again. Increasingly, unaccompanied men of “fighting ages” (17-45 years old) began to appear – not mixed in with families, but in very large – alarmingly large, in fact – proportions of crossing groups.
What follows is an analysis that may sound “conspiratorial”. Given the current rhetoric from certain organizations – it is most definitely something that needs to be taken seriously.
ACTORS IN PLACE
“Men fleeing their country to take refuge in a foreign land, bring their women and children with them.
Men invading a foreign land – do not.” – Anonymous
Nearly fifty years ago, now, 1974 was a strange time. It was the height of the Cold War; the Vietnam War was grinding to its bloody end; tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union were still very frosty, and getting more hostile as the political fallout from Richard M. Nixon’s resignation from the Presidency threw treaties and agreements into doubt.
In the midst of this turmoil, a small, 18-page study was presented to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) under contract number RDA-TR-4301-001. Its title?
“A SOVIET PARAMILITARY ATTACK ON U.S. NUCLEAR FORCES – A CONCEPT”
The paper outlines the feasibility of an “asymmetric” (to borrow a phrase from the modern day) attack on the US’s “nuclear triad” by Soviet special forces teams inserted into the US by slipping them over the border, mixed in with the yearly flow of illegal migrant workers.
When viewed through a more modern lens, this study stands as a stark warning for the current situation at the border, with only minimal editing for the current situation: simply replace “Soviet” with “militant actor groups”, and “nuclear forces” with “civilian soft targets”.
This is not hyperbole – if the numbers remained as small as they once were, this view would, indeed, verge into paranoia. However, with even the lowfigures hovering around 10,000 people per week, and even being generous in estimating the numbers of actual refugees, that equates to the core cadre of an infantry division entering the United States each week.
BEANS, BULLETS & TRAITORS
Now, the above is a pretty heady statement to make. After all, how would such a hypothetical force be armed and supplied, to what purpose, and by whom?
If you, the Reader, think that we are about to go to a very dark place – you would be correct.
It has long been known that certain elements of the United States government’s apparatus have deliberately tread very carefully, lest they goad the c.100,000,000 private firearms owners in the country into doing something “rather rash”. Frequently, they even try to crack jokes about it – jokes which absolutely no one finds funny.
Those same elements, however, certainly seem hell-bent to inflict demented plans on not simply the US population, but on the populations of the wider world. The United States’ population, though, is unique as it has not simply the highest proportion of private firearms ownership per capita, but also the largest numbers overall…and a significant proportion of that number are military veterans, many with recent combat experience.
In fact, those elements are so concerned about this potential threat to their plans that they have been issuing increasingly strident warning calls about the situation since the mid-1990’s. Yet, for them, the “problem” remains.
But – how to mitigate that problem?
It is clear to these elements that deploying the actual US armed forces, or even police, against the citizens they are sworn to defend through “kinetic action” is not an option: far too many would almost certainly either desert outright, or might actually mutiny, taking their weapons and joining their fellow citizens who are being attacked. And this is all aside from the fact that those “regular” forces, even in concert with law enforcement officers, simply do not have the numbers to make “martial law” a viable option.
But…What if those forces were given an actual, hostile foreign target inside the United States? For that matter, what if those private firearms owners could be induced by circumstance to join the regular armed forces and law enforcement in an action to “defend America” against that force? Stentorian denials from the “right wing” on social media aside, this “Reichstag Fire” scenario would force self-proclaimed “2A supporters” into a Catch-22: Either support the direct defense of the nation – in concert with the armed forces and the police – or suffer consequences far worse than being exposed as fakes.

However, as there has been no such credible threat inside the United States – because “Antifa” is not the threat many, including that group’s members, suppose it to be – such a force would have to be “imported”.
Hence: foreign, fighting-age men, flooding into the country in massive numbers – but numbers not sufficient to actually conquer the country, but certainly enough to cause a sufficiently large and alarming threat…a flood actively encouraged, by public policy.
Note that none of either the foregoing, or what follows, is even a possibility without the active collusion of large sections of the government apparatus in Washington, DC.
It is vital to understand that, even assuming that certain reporting, dismissed a decade ago as “deranged conspiracy theories” were to be true, such a potential hostile force cannot successfully seize control of any great portion of the United States – at least, not for any real length of time.
But – why?
Simply put, the potentially hostile forces that would act, would be extremely disjointed and lacking in any more than the most basic of direction, and outside the cities, would find themselves vastly outnumbered, outgunned and over-matched by the local population. Unlike other parts of the world where groups like these operate, the local population in the United States – overall, but most certainly in the more suburban and rural areas – are very well-armed, by current world standards, and are peopled with a high percentage of recent military veterans, most of whom are armed.
This does not mean that such hostile forces would be completely impotent. Indeed, current technology means that these forces could easily arm and equip themselves effectively, simply by raiding firearms dealers (making the publication of the personal information of firearms permit holders over the last few years…“interesting”) not simply for weapons and ammunition, but also for the information on the dealers’ Form 4473’s, as described in the famous scene from the original “Red Dawn” (1984). As well, functional support equipment could be constructed at reasonable speed, allowing this potential hostile force to cause a lot of “hate & discontent”, and all without a great deal of the typical heavy ordnance one would see in most of the conflicts of the last c.25 years…for a time, at least.
In the aftermath – if this strictly hypothetical plan were to be real – the surviving American citizens would be ready to fall in line behind a government professing to have “learned its lesson”, that would revitalize and regularize citizen “militias”…under strict government control and supervision, of course.

IN THE COUNTRY OF THE BLIND
Is any of the foregoing true, though?
There are no “smoking gun” documents – that the author is aware of – that detail the above speculative plan as a real, deliberate and ongoing operation…That in no way means that it is impossible.
There is an overused saw in current vogue, to wit, that “history does not repeat – but it does rhyme”. In this case, real, fundamental manipulation of a population to a meaningful purpose they would otherwise not only have no interest in, but would actively oppose if said plan were enacted too quickly, is not a thing that can be achieved overnight. It is a process that takes years to plan and decades to implement.
Once again – 1974 was an odd time. Lot of plans were flitting around the literal swamp that Washington, DC perches in, like a vulture’s nest…Plans like “NSSM 200”.
You, the Reader, should reflect on that link.
The Freedomist — Keeping Watch, So You Don’t Have To
Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Act is coming up for renewal and a five-member panel called the Privacy and Civil Liberties Board issued a nearly 300-page report recommending limitations on warrantless searches to the section before it is renewed.
The panel is composed of three Democrats and two Republicans. The Democrats are recommending restrictions be placed to prevent American citizens from being caught up in the surveillance, as they appear to have been under the existing law. The Republicans oppose this limitation, citing concerns the intelligence community will be too bogged down to do effective work.
It is not often we find ourselves so starkly in agreement with Democrats and so diametrically opposed to Republicans, but our allegiance is first to God and then our Republic, which the Republicans, in this instance, seek to undermine. Where we differ from the Democrats is with their assertion that Section 702 should be renewed at all, even with these changes.
A senior administrative official told the press, “It is, in essence, two reports: A three-member report and a two-member report,” a senior administration official told reporters on Wednesday. “The fact that there’s such division … makes it hard for the hill to know what exactly to do with two competing reports.”
We have long been saying the greatest power the DNC-CCP has is the fact that the Republican Party is not true “republican” in nature, and, while it may not be radically opposed to the American republic like the DNC-CCP is, it is more interested in using the language of American republicanism without actually committing to laws that reflect American republicanism. They seek more to manipulate the American masses with American language during elections, but consistently fail to deliver American values when it comes to actually passing and enforcing legislation.
This action by Republicans on this panel further highlights the need for Americans to have American political parties rather than the two we currently have. 2024 will be a contest between opportunists hoping to exploit the language of America and seditionists openly working to destroy it, even using anti-American language to do it.
The Republicans fear disorder so much they are willing to sacrifice liberty to preserve it. The Democrats fear order so much, they are willing to sacrifice liberty to prevent it (until their brand of order comes into its full power).
The DNC-CCP will be appealing to the jealous, the lazy, the psychotic, the perverse to do win in 2024, bringing along a host of “Democrats” who yet still refuse to believe their party is anything other than a champion for the disenfranchised, who yet still refuse to believe their party has been co-opted by foreigners-in-spirit seeking to end liberty for all, including the liberty of those masses who foolishly vote for such a reprobate, Satanic party.
The House Oversight Committee revealed bank transaction records that show Hunter Biden received two wire transfers from CCCP agents that went directly to Joe Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware home. The transfers amounted to a total of $260,000.
The first wire transfer was in July of 2019 from Ms. Wang Xin. The second wire transfer was in August of 2019 from Ms. Tan Ling and Li Xiang Sheng, for $250,000. All three of these individuals are high-ranking executives of BHR Partners “a Beijing-baked private equity firm controlled by the Bank of China Limited,” according to Fox New Digital. Hunter Biden was also on the board of the Communist-Party-controlled firm.
It should be noted the same day that this discovery was announced is the day a NY Judge decided he didn’t need any real evidence to determine Trump was guilty of fraud, a pattern that is oft-repeated by the DNC-CCP to give their content marketing firms, ABC News, CNN, etc., something scandalous about Trump to run with so they can continue to conceal their audience from the real criminal, the seditionist-in-Chief, Joe Biden.
While Trump stands accused of exaggerated his business value to get better loan deals, Joe Biden stands accused of direct treason against the United States of America for personal monetary gain. To the DNC-CCP run media outlets, Trump’s “fraud” is more important than having a sitting President being caught red-handed taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from an enemy of the American nation, the Chinese Communist Party, which shows the seditious nature of the whole DNC-CCP operation.
As this writer has pointed out in other reports, the DNC-CCP and its supporters live in a different country than America, Progmerica, which is no America at all. In Progmerica, it’s a criminal offense to oppose abortion, it’s a ‘far-right’ position to support the 2nd Amendment representing our right to keep and bear arms against all enemies, foreign and domestic. And of course all these American ideas like individual liberty and rule of law are just dog whistles for white supremacism.
When they accuse of sedition or treason, they’re right, but only because their country, Progmerica, is diametrically opposed to our country, the United States of America as defined by our Declaration of Independence, from which authority’s power flows, to our Constitution, from which the boundaries of that authority are determined.
The DNC-CCP is a treasonous outfit determined to destroy the American republic and its content marketing firms are in complete agreement, and willing to use their culture-making power to protect the DNC-CCP and destroy any American voice that dare speak against it, including Trump, including me, including you.
In the latest lawfare assault against the perceived strongest opposition to the DNC-CCP, a New York Judge, Arthur Engoron, decided to find Trump guilty fraud in a summary judgment that essentially blocks Trump and certain Trump Inc executives from doing business in New York state anymore. The judge claimed the whole case was a documents case, charging him with fraud whenever he claimed the business was more valuable than the judge says it is, despite never going through the process of discovery to determine that alleged “fact.”
The ruling, if it is allowed to stand, could make criminals of anyone who estimated their net worth beyond what a judge thinks it is if that estimate was used to gain favorable terms. No one was harmed in this alleged fraud other than the Trump-deranged judge’s feelings.
The Judge said in his 35-page ruling, “the documents here clearly contain fraudulent valuations that defendants used in business, satisfying [the attorney general’s] burden to establish liability as a matter of law against defendants. Defendants’ respond that: the documents do not say what they say; that there is no such thing as ‘objective; value; and that, essentially, the Court should not believe its own eyes.”
The Court has no objective standard to assess the actual value of the Trump empire other than the judge’s unfounded opinions.
It could very well be that Trump exaggerated valuation claims in various business dealings and that could technically be deemed “fraud,” but these types of exaggerations are never prosecuted like they have been against Trump.
The judge was elected by an overwhelmingly Democrat-majority district and is a registered Democrat.
The Trump team will appeal this case, but unless they can get before American, as opposed to Democrat judges, that appeal is likely to fail until it reaches the Supreme Court. Then we can find out if the judiciary has any Americans left in it or not.
Trump said of the ruling, “I have a Deranged, Trump Hating Judge, who RAILROADED this FAKE CASE through a NYS Court at a speed never before seen.” This writer is inclined to agree with him. The ruling makes everyone ow at risk that does business in New York state and fails to comply to the will of the Democratic Party. This is just another reason for anyone who CAN escape Democrat-run states to do so before another leftist judge arbitrarily decides to find you guilty of fraud for challenging the party’s power.
Amid all the shrill backbiting over continuing to flagellate the dying Ukrainian efforts against Russia, as well as the capering of France trying to stave off the disintegration of its African satrapies, as those states internally realign themselves with Russia and China – by force, when necessary – a specter lurks in the background, the proverbial “elephant in the room”: Communist Chinese insecurity over Taiwan.
In this insecurity, lay the seeds of global economic collapse.
At the end of World War Two, Communist leader Mao Zedong led his “People’s Liberation Army” out of their mountain hideouts, and slid in behind Soviet forces occupying Manchuria, swiftly arming themselves with ex-Japanese military equipment captured from the defeated Imperial Japanese Army. Thus armed, the Communists went on the offensive against the exhausted Nationalist Kuomintang (KMT) forces, which had born the brunt of fighting against the Japanese for the preceding eight years (1937-1945).
Despite several billion dollars in US aid, and the poorly though-out deployment of the III Amphibious Corps and elements of the 7th Fleet, the sheer exhaustion and demoralization of the KMT resulted in a series of worsening defeats on the battlefield, until, in 1949, the surviving KMT military and government units retreated (for the most part) to the island of Formosa (now, Taiwan), and established a government in exile.
That is the situation as it remains, today.
Communist China, throughout its bloody and draconian history from 1950 until today, cannot abide that a recognized province of the country is not under its thumb. This manifests itself in the news of today, as near-continual violations of Taiwan’s declared air and sea boundaries by Communist military forces. The normal response of the United States has been to occasionally deploy aircraft carrier battle groups into the disputed waters as a dare to the Communists to fire on them.
The question for many, however, is – why? After all, the United States famously showed Taiwan the door in 1972, which made the country a diplomatic pariah state…so, why does the United States constantly go “eyeball-to-eyeball” with Communist Beijing over the island? For that matter, why can’t Beijing just let it go?
Two answers: For Beijing – and particularly for Premier Xi Jinping – Taiwan is a gaping sore for the Communists, as the island rapidly prospered under the KMT’s governance, while Communist China wallowed in poverty, famine and induced technological stagnation under the increasingly mentally unstable Mao…and that, in spite of the extreme brutality of the KMT’s actions in securing the island, beginning in the late 1940’s. As prosperous as Communist China has become in the aftermath of the reforms of Deng Xiaoping, the Communist state still lags behind Taiwan by a long distance.
Second, the United States knows a fundamental truth that many around the world (and particularly within the United States), a truth that is the basis of this article:
Any Communist attempt to invade and conquer Taiwan – even if it failed – would collapse the global economy overnight.
The reason for this is brutally simple: microchips.
Circuit board. Public Domain.
Silicon chips, semiconductors, or integrated circuits as the Reader prefers, are what drive modern technology, from the device you are reading this article on, to the CPU in your car, computer chips drive every object of any consequence in your everyday life.
Most of Taiwan’s chips are produced by one company, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC). Unlike other manufacturers like Samsung and Intel (who manufacture chips for internal products), however, TSMC chips are not proprietary to them. Instead, their chips supply manufacturers of computer-driven hardware around the world, companies like Apple, Nvidia and Qualcomm, to name just three. Other nations around the world currently hover at less than half of TSMC’s production capacity; the United States currently holds about 12% of the global manufacturing capacity.
Invasions, as proven by the Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine, are bloody, messy and highly destructive affairs. Any actual Communist Chinese attempt to seize Taiwan would be no different, the severe problems of a combined arms assault on the island equating to a probable Communist failure aside. To say that such an invasion would “disrupt” TSMC’s operations is a laughable understatement, not least because standard military doctrine virtually guarantees direct attacks on the company’s production facilities, to say nothing of worker attrition from “collateral damage”.

What would such a circumstance mean for the global economy? Simply, virtually all generalized computer and electronic device production and repair or upgrades utilizing semiconductors would grind to a halt, as stocks of chips dried up virtually overnight. This is due to the phenomenon of “just-in-time delivery”, an outgrowth of the wave of globalization that has been the norm since the 1990’s.
The Reader may recall the term “supply chain disruption” that became popular during the recent pandemic. Workers at both manufacturing plants, but also – critically – stevedores and loading crane operators stayed home, either terrified of catching the disease, by legal order, or both. This ricocheted throughout the global supply and transport system, and was greatly aggravated by what many considered to be a minor event, namely the grounding of the container ship Ever Given in March of 2021. The effects of these body blows to the global economy continue as of this writing.

In regards to a hypothetical – but very possible – Communist invasion of Taiwan, the disruption would be vastly worse, as there is no way for global manufacturers to quickly retool to make up for the loss, even if a ceasefire were quickly closed…And note that this does not address the general disruption of commercial cargo traffic in and out of the Communist nation, in the event of such a war.
But, there is an even greater danger lurking in this very possible scenario: the facts that not only will Taiwan not go quietly, but that they have a plan to take Communist China with them.
Without resorting to nuclear weapons.
The non-Communist Chinese in Taiwan all know full well what a Communist takeover of their country would entail. Given the Communist state’s recent history, to say nothing of its habit of “disappearing” political dissidents and anyone who disagrees with their regime too loudly. Because of this, there lurks a plan that Taipei lets slip every once in a while, to remind Beijing of what the consequences of invasion would be.

Taiwan’s “doomsday” plan (YouTube link) would be a series of strikes against the Three Gorges Dam. If concentrated, such a strike package would collapse at least a section of the dam, releasing the force of 39.3 km3 to pour downstream in a massive deluge.
Provisionally, this action could kill up to 400 million people…And this is not an idle threat, as the KMT has done it before. To say that this could result in a nuclear response is a given…with everything else that derives from that.
Right now, Communist China is desperate to appear tough and capable. The chances of bluster turning into an actual invasion are very real, however.
This fact is something that should be taken seriously by anyone reading this.
The Freedomist — Keeping Watch, So You Don’t Have To
The lawsuit against FTX founder and crypto scammer Sam Bankman-Fried’s parents, Allen Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried reveal a massive dark money network that saw FTX siphon billions of scammed dollars to DNC-CCP organizations and PACs, and his parents might have been the ones pushing it the whole time.
From Yahoo Finance: Sam Bankman-Fried’s mom encouraged him to donate millions to politicans — including to a PAC she chaired — via other FTX executives, according to a lawsuit seen by Insider.
Lawyers handling the crypto exchange’s bankruptcy case are suing Bankman-Fried’s parents, Joe Bankman and Barbara Fried, accusing them of siphoning millions of dollars from company funds.
That includes a $10 million gift which lawyers say has been used for Bankman-Fried’s legal defense, and a $16.4 million beachfront house in the Bahamas. FTX’s lawyers are hoping to recoup that money to help pay back customers.
The father, Allan Jospeh Bankman, allegedly had communications with his son that indicated he had access to Arabella funds, these are funds the family created that did not have to discplose their donors. Through these funds, the family sent billions to DNC-CCP interests, funding them, essentially with stolen money from the FTX crypto scam.
From the Free Beacon: The FTX lawsuit alleges that Allan Joseph Bankman and his wife, Barbara Fried—both Stanford Law professors and major Democratic donors—played a direct role in FTX’s downfall through breaches of fiduciary duties, fraudulent transfers, and unjust enrichment. The lawsuit cited Bankman’s discussions of his son’s partnership with Arabella as proof he had “unfettered access” to FTX’s finances.
“It’s alarming to learn the extent to which Sam Bankman-Fried and his family are clearly tangled in the Left’s dark money web,” Americans for Public Trust executive director Caitlin Sutherland said. “It should raise serious questions and scrutiny about SBF’s Washington pay-to-play scheme and how he tried to use the Arabella apparatus to further his ill-gotten influence.”
Both of SBF’s parents have deep ties to what might be called the Deep State well before SBF rose to power with FTX. It is looking more and more like the parents were the real masterminds behind the whole affair, using their son as the frontman in a dark money laundering scheme intended to deliver to the DNC-CCP billions of dollars that were used to win elections and shake down businesses that didn’t allow DNC-CCP organizations to inject monitors into their businesses to assure their compliance with the party line.
This is why, this writer theorizes, the DOJ, run by Lawfare Assassin-in-Chief Merrick Garland, mysteriously dropped all campaign finance charges against SBF, to keep this information out of the spotlight, to protect the DNC-CCP from the truth of the nature of much of its real power, dark money, whose sources are theft and foreign powers buying agents willing to sacrifice the republic for their personal, family gains.
More from the Free BeaconArabella claims it only provides back-office administrative support to New Venture Fund and the other nonprofit funds in its network. But documents obtained by the Free Beacon show Arabella wields centralized control over the funds, which hauled in a combined $3.3 billion in 2020 and 2021 and used those resources to operate hundreds of Democratic projects across the country. Each of those projects is managed by a team of Arabella employees, including an account manager and a managing director.
Sam Bankman-Fried was a major force in Democratic circles prior to his downfall in November. He was the second-largest individual political donor in the 2022 election cycle and has donated more than $40 million to Democratic candidates and political committees. Bankman-Fried gave $5 million to President Joe Biden’s primary Super PAC, Future Forward, in 2020, and the disgraced financier also gave $300,000 to Democrats on the House Financial Services Committee, which oversaw his industry.
In return, Bankman-Fried was granted unfettered access to powerful Democrats. The disgraced crypto kingpin visited Biden’s top adviser, Steve Ricchetti, and other officials across four visits to the White House in 2022 as he waged an aggressive lobbying campaign in Washington, D.C., for cryptocurrency regulation. Prior to FTX’s collapse, Bankman-Fried’s competitors alleged he was trying to use his government connections to regulate his competition out of the market.
