| Dr. Bradley Thayer & Dr. Karen Siegemund at American Freedom Alliances' "The War on Practically Everybody" |
At American Freedom Alliances' "The War on Practically Everybody" in Los Angeles, Dr. Karen Siegemund and Dr. Bradley Thayer (a Senior Fellow at the Center for Security Policy) discuss the influence of Marxist ideas on American politics, specifically within the Democratic Party. They argue that this ideology, which seeks to undermine traditional democratic political identity, has been spread through popular culture, literature, and Hollywood.
Drs. Thayer and Siegemund explain that this is not just a feminist issue but a deeply Marxist one, with the feminist movement being a part of the broader Marxist movement. Dr. Thayer also discusses the evolution of Communism from Marx's ideas to the broader movement we see today, including in the Democratic Party.
The speakers argue that Communism's core ideas include the employment of class as a tool to study history and the intent to overthrow middle-class life and democratic politics. Thayer also mentions key individuals like Lenin, Stalin, and Mao Zedong who added to the movement's ideology.
Dr. Thayer expresses concern over the human rights abuses and potential collusion between the Chinese government and US public health authorities during the COVID-19 pandemic. He calls for transparency and accountability and warn of the tactics Communists use to undermine freedoms. He also discusses the challenges of spreading information and alternative narratives, particularly regarding the Chinese Communist Party, and the importance of individuals becoming critical thinkers.
The conversation then shifts to national security issues, including the large number of military-age men entering the United States from countries like China and Iran, who may be acting as agents of terrorism and committing sabotage, assassinations, and election interference. Thayer argues that this issue is not being recognized or understood as a major political issue but could lead to domestic terrorism and a "cyber Pearl Harbor" attack. He emphasizes the importance of individual political participation and engagement to counteract potential government-inflicted problems.
Summary of video by timing: 00:00:00 The speakers discuss the first part of a three-part series about "the War on Everybody," this one specifically focusing on "The War on Men." They explain that this is not a literal war but a figurative one, referring to societal forces seeking to undermine men, masculinity, boys, fathers, and the family. The speakers argue that this is not just a feminist issue but deeply Marxist, as the feminist movement is a Marxist movement. Dr. Siegemund invited Dr. Bradley Thayer to speak as an expert on communism to explain why this is happening. The speakers also touch on the Marxist-communist element in the Democratic party and its influence on politics in the US and globally.
00:05:00 Dr. Thayer discusses the influence of Marxist ideas on
American politics, specifically the Democratic Party. He explains how
these ideas were spread through popular culture, literature, and
Hollywood, and how the Communist Party of China's support of these ideas
has further infiltrated American businesses and universities. Thayer
argues that this presents a formidable threat to traditional democratic
political identity, both domestically and internationally. He also
mentions that this issue exists in other Western countries like Canada
and Europe.
The speaker clarifies that Marxism and communism are related, with Marx
being the progenitor of communist ideology, and Lenin putting these
ideas into practice in the Soviet Union.
10:00 Dr. Thayer discusses the evolution of Communism from Marx's ideas
to the broader movement we see today, including in the Democratic Party.
He explains that Communism's core ideas include the employment of class
as a tool to study history and the intent to overthrow middle-class
life and Democratic Republican politics.
He also mentions key individuals like Lenin, Stalin, and Mao Zedong who
added to the movement's ideology. He provides examples of how
the Democratic Party has evolved towards Communism, such as the
exclusion of anti-communist figures like Jack Kennedy and Senator Joe
McCarthy. He also points to economic policies, like the Green New Deal,
as examples of Communism's influence in federal and state policies,
which aim to bring in greater state control of the economy and
individual behavior, ultimately leading to totalitarian control.
00:15:00 Dr. Thayer discusses the ideology of Communism and its
implications for individual rights and human rights abuses. He argues
that Communism treats individuals as units or groups rather than as
human beings with respectable human rights. This deterministic
worldview, he explains, leads to totalitarian control and human rights
abuses, as seen in Communist governments around the world. The speaker
urges Americans to understand the odiousness of this form of government
and reject its ideology, which they see as at variance with American
political tradition and culture. They also warn of the tactics
Communists use to reinvent themselves and undermine freedoms, citing
historical examples of Communist governments crushing rebellions and
using shock troops to create chaos and urgency.
00:20:00 Dr. Thayer discusses the significance of the COVID-19
pandemic and the response to it during the 2020 election year. He argues
that the pandemic served as a tool for authoritarian control, with
individuals being encouraged to report on and turn in neighbors for not
adhering to certain behaviors. This was a tactic used not only in the
United States but also by the Chinese Communist Party to enforce their
own control. The speaker suggests` that this was a capitulation strategy
used to identify and eject individuals who might resist, such as
Christians in the military or those unwilling to take the vaccination.
The pandemic served as a message to the American people to be controlled
and was also used to separate and alienate individuals who might resist
illegal orders. Thayer expresses concern over the ease with which
people embraced these control measures and the long-term implications
for political culture and individual freedoms.
00:25:00 Dr. Thayer discusses the zero-covid policies of the Communist Party of China and the lack of accountability for the human rights abuses and potential collusion between the Chinese government and US public health authorities during the pandemic. He mentions the spontaneous protests against these policies, which he sees as a window into the totalitarian mind and a violation of American values and freedoms. He also criticizes the lack of transparency and accountability from organizations like the World Health Organization and the UN, and call for a human rights tribunal to examine the behavior of those involved. He expresses concern that the truth about these issues is not reaching the general public due to censorship and manipulation of information by governments and search engines.
00:30:00 In this section he discusses the challenges of spreading information and alternative narratives, particularly regarding the Chinese Communist Party. He notes the power of "the gatekeepers" to control the flow of information and the importance of individuals becoming critical thinkers. He also mentions the potential for individuals like Elon Musk and his companies, Starlink and X, to broaden the access to information. The conversation then shifts to the southern border of the United States, with concerns about the large number of military-age men entering the country, many of whom are Chinese, and the potential for sabotage or other malicious activities. He expresses concern over the Biden Administration's actions, which he views as a gross abuse of statesmanship and potentially treasonous behavior.
00:35:00 Dr. Bradley Thayer addresses the significant national security issue of individuals entering the United States from countries like China and Iran, who may be acting as agents of terrorism and committing sabotage, assassinations, and election interference. He argues that this issue is not being recognized or understood as a major political issue but could lead to domestic terrorism and even a "cyber Pearl Harbor" attack. The speakers suggest that it will take a new government, possibly a Republican president, to address this issue, which they believe is one of the greatest national security problems the United States is facing. He also warns of the potential for old-fashioned sabotage, such as taking computers out of the equation and using switches instead.
00:40:00 In the final section of the YouTube video titled "Communism's War on Men," Dr. Bradley Thayer discusses the potential damage caused by cyberterrorism and the role of the government in protecting citizens from such threats. He argues that if the government is responsible for the issue, citizens must engage politically to resist. Thayer questions the historic precedent for resisting revolutions and suggests that if Democrats are moving in a certain direction, then supporting Donald Trump and his supporters in the November elections could be an alternative. He emphasizes the importance of individual political participation and engagement to counteract potential government-inflicted problems.
