With Sam Faddis, Dede Laugesen, Christine Arakelian & Ron Armstrong

Sam Faddis, Former CIA Ops Officer

• Sam Faddis and I talked about the high probability that the United States will find itself in a shooting war with communist China in the foreseeable future, possibly within a few months.
• We also discussed the danger that that would represent, possibly catastrophic danger. We also talked about the extent to which we are unprepared to meet the threats that the Chinese communists represent. But we also examined how it could possibly be that in the midst of a presidential election in which decisions will have to be made about this threat and what it will entail for our country and for our people, we are hearing scarcely anything about this danger in the course of the election campaigns to this point that must be remedied with the utmost urgency.

Dede Laugesen, Executive Director of Save The Persecuted Christians &  Christine Arakelian, Fellow at the Armenian Society of Fellows

• Dede Laugesen and I visited with Christine Arakelian about the prospects for helping transform Armenia from a country likely to be savagely attacked by Azerbaijan and Turkey in their further efforts to destroy the Christians of that country and the country itself into a strategically important part of the West and who might be able to help us effect that transformation. In the interest of saving persecuted Christians, yes, but also vital interests of the United States as well.

Ron Armstrong, Stand Up Michigan Inc.

• I am off with Armstrong to examine what has happened in the course of the past year or so to illuminate the grievous dangers associated with the Chinese Communist Party's Goshen electric vehicle manufacturing plant that has been set to be built in the area of Michigan but is now running into all kinds of opposition from Donald Trump on down. We explored whether it might be terminated altogether and why it should be.
