 Last week House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) described his party’s efforts to draw state districts favoring Democrats, “We are in an era of maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time.”  

Well, so much for toning down political rhetoric days following the latest assassination attempt on President Trump. As someone said, ‘when they tell you what they are going to do, believe them.’

In XI Van Fleet’s second book, “Made in America – The hidden history of how the U.S. enabled Communist China and created our greatest threat” she compares her experiences growing up during China’s revolution with what she sees in America.

XI wrote, “The consequences are stark. America not only ‘lost China’ to Communism in 1949, but decades later, it now faces the unsettling prospect of losing itself to ideologies rooted in the same Communist doctrine. History is never truly behind us; it keeps repeating itself. Yesterday’s liberalism has steadily morphed into the very Communism it once opposed, now creeping into American life under new names and guises. The failure to learn from history has left many Americans blind to the resurgence of Marxism—now repackaged for the modern era as Cultural Marxism, or more popularly, ‘woke’ ideology.”

XI continued: “For me, the fall of China was not just historical, but also deeply personal. Ten years later, I was born into the bondage of Communism and spent my first twenty-six years under its suffocating grip….”

Today, it’s easy to see the leap Communist China made toward drawing the U.S. closer into Communism. XI wrote, “In January 2020, China signed the Phase One Trade Agreement with the Trump administration, pledging to purchase an additional $200 billion in U.S. goods and services over two years. But instead of honoring the deal, the CCP unleashed the COVID pandemic on the world and then conveniently invoked the agreement’s force majeure clause—citing the outbreak as an unforeseeable event to evade its commitments.”

During the COVID years we had a totalitarian in the White House leading a host of little totalitarians across America mandating masks that couldn’t stop a virus, vaccines that had not been tested followed by untested boosters, and prohibiting meetings including outside events. Americans gave up personal freedoms when threatened with “laws” and loss of jobs or businesses. XI commented, “The CCP grew strong because America lost its way – having strayed from the founding values….”

Toward the end of her book, XI wrote about President Trump’s fight against Communism, “it is also against the Marxist ideological subversion within America itself. He is the first U.S. president to take a direct stand against domestic Communism. Upon taking office, he immediately abolished all DEI policies and programs in the executive branch of the federal government, recognizing them as a tenet of Cultural Marxism—an internal threat designed to weaken the nation from within.”

“The connection is clear: Most if not all of the American left and Communist China’s totalitarianism are fundamentally linked—they share the same ideological essence…. Their differences lie in how they manifest across different nations, cultures, and historical stages.” 

No doubt China has invaded America across open borders, but also inside birthing suites where Chinese mothers birth American citizens before returning to China. It’s a huge business unimpeded by any American law. The Supreme Court is deliberating citizenship birthright right now.
