On Monday, 8 AUG 22, on New Paradigms with Sargis Sangari, Episode #110, #ClareLopez, the Founder/President of #LopezLiberty LLC & former #CIA Clandestine Operations Officer, author of The Rise of the #Iran Lobby and co-author/editor of the Center’s Team B II study, “#Shariah: The Threat to America,” as well as The Tiger Team’s “The Secure Freedom Strategy: A Plan for Victory Over the #GlobalJihad Movement.” and Senior Advisory Board Member of Near East Center for Strategic Engagement, (#NECSE) returns in an information-packed episode to discuss U.S. #ForeignPolicy Challenges and the diminishing effects of #American #leadership.

Clare and I began the program by discussing the breaking news of the unprecedented #FBI breach of President #Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago in #Florida.

No such actions has ever taken place in the history of the United States by the instruments of power against a previous #POTUS.
In Clare’s viewpoint, if we the people do not address this action in the next election and return the #American #Republic to its foundational principles, the Republic can be lost.

Clare also made the point about the reaction from #allies, #globalpartners, and our #adversaries and #enemies who may see our country at its weakest point. U.S. may not be ready to address any global issues and topics of interest to the United States, especially since the current instruments of U.S. power are still working on an interim National Security Strategy (#NSS).

Clare updated us on the Ukraine-Russia War. Even though #ammunition is moving into #Ukraine, we are still behind the battle pace. Ukraine-Ministry of Defense (#MOD) needs #heavyweapons, #drones, both #surveillance and #armed, #coastal and #areal #defensesystems, which still may never be enough or supplied fast enough to win the war.

Clare discusses how would-be #warloards and new #globalists such as #Putin of #Russia and #XiJinping of #China intend on destroying the current world sovereign state system that the Treaty of Westphalia established on 24 October 1648. Instead, they wish to be new #Czars and #Emprerors of a world order established by them.

Clare also discussed #Taiwan and Nancy # Pelosi’s trip to #Asia, where her son accompanied her.

Clare focused on Xi making moves to ensure his third term this fall as the #GeneralSecretary of the #CCP and spoke about China, not as a country but as an #empire.

China is an empire controlled by the CCP’s warlords. An Empire that has subjugated peoples like The #Manchus, #Mongols, #Tibetans, The Muslim #Uyghurs, and other #ethnic and #religious #minorities.

She highlighted CCP’s People’s Liberation Army (#PLA) leaked recording of a 14 MAY 22 administrative discussion in #Beijing where key CCP leaders discussed moving China from a peacetime status to a wartime footing.

Their primary first objective is to seize Taiwan with the follow-on missions to clear the east China sea, south China sea, the sea of #Japan, #Phillipines Sea, out to what is called the first island chains in Asia of all U.S. and Allied #navel capability of #Indonesia, #Korea, #Australia, and others. Clare pointed out that if this is the plan, it will lead to WWIII.

Post-1949, Taiwan was never part of mainland China and has never wanted to be part of it. The U.S., under The Taiwan Relations Act, will support Taiwan, which is a significant reason why the CCP wants to control the unrestricted nation. Now is the time to arm Taiwan with everything they need in a defensive way to hold off against a Chinese invasion or blockade, keeping the eastern side of Taiwan open.

Clare and I also spoke about the killing of #AlQaida leader #alZawahri and how his death shows how Al-Qaida never left #Afghanistan. Al-Qaida never broke its relationship with the #Taliban or #Hezbollah, which has been training Al-Qaida since the 1990s. Even #Iran has long been associated with Al-Qaida through Al-Zawhri, who was the critical Liaison with #Iran.

Clare highlighted the initial jihadi alliance established in #Sudan’s capital of #Khartoum by President Omar H.A. Al-Bashir, who called all Muslim brothers in the 1990s to his nation, where the Jihadi alliance between Iran, Hezbollah, and Al-Qaeda was forged.

Add to this the #ISIS #Khorasan State, and the use of Afghanistan as a launching point for #radicalIslam against the U.S. has never been addressed, given we never managed the Jihadi Ideology.

Clare and I also spoke about the role of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (#SCO) in this fight and how the CCP deals with #Islamists who may be used against its interest in the region.

Finally, Clare and I spoke about Iraq’s domestic uproars and how the #IraqParliament is still under siege by forces loyal to Muqtada al-Sadr.
