China IS NOT Our Friend

James F. Gauss, Ph.D.

March 27, 2024

Many years ago, during the Bill Clinton presidency, my wife stopped at a local convenience store. Behind the counter was a high school student. As the student waited on my wife, somehow the casual conversation turned to China and all the Chinese products that were showing up in local stores. The student gleefully declared that her teacher told his class the China was America’s friend and could be counted on and would be good for America and its citizens.

Below is an excerpt from Revelation 18 and the Fate of America (2021 Edition) that describes the post-Clinton era reality of China.

The eagerness of U.S. politicians and businesspeople to reap the financial rewards of a burgeoning Chinese market led to extremely poor judgments (intentional or unintentional) that greatly compounded America’s financial condition and will plague Americans for decades to come. China can single- handedly credit its rapid rise to economic and world power to the ill- advised decisions of America’s powerbrokers and left-leaning political socialists.

It All Started Here. While on the campaign trail on March 9, 1992, Democratic presidential candidate, William Clinton, professed that he was adamantly against granting China Most Favored Nation (MFN) status. However, only seven months after Clinton won the presidential election with only 43 percent of the vote in a three-way contest, he rapidly reversed his campaign position, granting China MFN status with his Executive Order 12850 on May 28, 1993.

In promoting his decision before the American people, Clinton stated, “Yesterday the American people won a tremendous victory as a majority of the House of Representatives [of which 59 percent were Democrats] joined me in adopting our plan to revitalize America’s economic future.” But, did the American people win?

He went on to proclaim that, “The core of this policy will be a resolute insistence upon significant progress on human rights in China. To implement this policy,” Clinton continued, “I am signing today an Executive order that will have the effect of extending most- favored-nation status for China for 12 months. Whether I extend MFN next year, however, will depend upon whether China makes significant progress in improving its human rights record.”

Despite his bold and stern proclamation, China made no progress with its human rights record over the next year and Clinton had no intention of denying the renewal of China’s MFN status. One year later, without much fanfare, he quietly renewed the status on May 27, 1994, claiming that, “This decision offers us the best opportunity to lay the basis for long-term sustainable progress on human rights and advancement of our other interests with China.”

Senate Majority Leader, George Mitchell (D-Maine), disagreed with Clinton’s decision. “This decision,” he stated, “will confirm for the regime the success of its policy of repression on human rights and manipulation of trade.” Indeed it did. To date, 26 years later, China has made no significant progress on human rights abuses and flagrantly manipulates trade in its favor—basically thumbing its nose at Washington.

In fact, the United States, during Clinton’s final year in office, on September 12, 2000, and with an 83-15 Senate vote, overwhelmingly approved Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR) status for China.

How it Worked Out for America and Americans. To further justify his position, President Clinton offered this dangling carrot: “China will open its markets to American products from wheat to cars to consulting services, and our companies will be far more able to sell goods without moving factories or investments there.” With that enticement, American businesses, from family-run farms to mega corporations, had visions of unrestrained wealth rolling in from the land of over one billion “consumers.”

Representative Bill Archer (R-TX), the lead sponsor of the bill, commented, “The American people support this agreement because they know it’s good for jobs in America and good for human rights and the development of democracy in China.”

However, it was never good for the American people, even though they readily feasted on an ever-expanding supply of cheap products that were once made in America. It was never good for American jobs. Many were “shipped” overseas to China as thousands of businesses re-located their manufacturing to China and wages of the American worker stagnated or decreased in real dollars. Also, it has never been good for human rights in China or the development of democratic ideals.

In an article in the Washington Times on September 11, 2020, the day before the 20^th anniversary of the granting of PNTR status to the communist country, the writer, Michael McKenna, referred to the Clinton PNTR agreement as a colossal mistake. In his short piece, McKenna commented, “catastrophic miscalculations of Chinese intent by Congress played a significant role in shattering the postwar foreign policy consensus . . .”

During his 2016 presidential run, Donald Trump offered his assessment of the PNTR deal. “China’s entrance into the WTO has enabled the greatest job theft in the history of our country.” He was right on target. According to McKenna, since 2000, an estimated five million U.S. manufacturing jobs have been lost as American companies fled to China for cheap labor and production costs. It was, indeed, a gross miscalculation and sellout of the American people by their political leaders, from which America will never recover. It “was uniform sentiment among the political class,” McKenna wrote, “that inviting China into the community of nations would eventually produce changes inside of China, undermine the power of the Chinese Communist Party, and reduce its indifference toward killing its own citizens.” America’s leaders could not have been more mistaken.

As an example of the imbalanced trade impact, McKenna cited Youngstown, Ohio. This once prosperous manufacturing city in eastern Ohio, had a growing population that peaked in 1930 at 170,002. By 1990, three years before Clinton’s MFN declaration for China, Youngstown had contracted to 95,695. By 2000, the year Clinton conferred PNTR status for China, the city had further declined to 81,720. Youngstown residents, like those of thousands of cities across America, were hoping for a revitalization of their community with new Chinese markets and new jobs to bolster its flagging economy. It never happened! In fact, Youngstown’s 2019 census indicated the city’s population had dropped another 20 percent to 65,469 or 61.5% less than the peak of 1930. While indicative of communities across the nation, Youngstown was just the tip of the destructive iceberg known as China. As McKenna noted, when manufacturing or other major businesses in a city are forced to fold, soon to follow are hundreds of small business employers (restaurants, salons, retail shops, malls, etc.), and the tax base declines, affecting schools and essential city services.

America’s Collusion with Her Enemies.1

James F. Gauss, Ph.D.

February 5, 2024

The following is excerpted from the author’s book, Revelation 18 and the Fate of America (2021 Edition).

It all started here.  While on the campaign trail on March 9, 1992, Democratic presidential candidate, William Clinton, professed that he  was adamantly against granting China Most Favored Nation (MFN) status. However, only seven months after Clinton won the presidential election with only 43 percent of the vote in a three-way contest, he rapidly reversed his campaign position, granting China MFN status with his Executive Order 12850 on May 28, 1993.

In promoting his decision before the American people, Clinton stated, “Yesterday the American people won a tremendous victory as a majority of the House of Representatives [of which 59 percent were Democrats] joined me in adopting our plan to revitalize America’s economic future.” But, did the American people win?

He went on to proclaim that, “The core of this policy will be a resolute insistence upon significant progress on human rights in China. To implement this policy,” Clinton continued, “I am signing today an Executive order that will have the effect of extending most-favored-nation status for China for 12 months. Whether I extend MFN  next year, however, will depend upon whether China makes significant progress in improving its human rights record.”

Despite his bold and stern proclamation, China made no  progress with its human rights record over the next year and Clinton had no intention of denying the renewal of China’s MFN status. One year later, without much fanfare, he quietly renewed the status on May 27, 1994, claiming that, “This decision offers us the best opportunity to lay the basis for long-term sustainable progress on human rights and advancement of our other interests with China.”

Senate Majority Leader, George Mitchell (D-Maine), disagreed with Clinton’s decision. “This decision,” he stated, “will confirm for the regime the success of its policy of repression on human  rights and manipulation of trade.” Indeed it did. To date, 26 years later, China has made no significant progress on human rights abuses and flagrantly manipulates trade in its favor—basically thumbing its nose at Washington.

In fact, the United States, during Clinton’s final year in office,  on September 12, 2000, and with an 83-15 Senate vote, decisively approved Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR) status for China.

Stealing is Appealing. In 2002, I wrote an unpublished three-part series, Red Star Rising: But is Anyone Watching? In the third part, I highlighted the dangers of the Clinton China Most Favored Nation decision on national security by summarizing parts of The Cox Report of January 3, 1999 or otherwise known as The Select Committee on U.S. National Security and Military/Commercial Concerns with the People’s Republic of China.

The Cox Report decisively revealed that communist China or the PRC had been involved in intense espionage activities in the United States for a number of decades. However, the U.S. Intelligence Community did not discover such infiltration and theft of highly secret military technology  until 1995.

“The People’s Republic of China (PRC),” a declassified overview of the report noted, “has stolen classified design information on the United States’ most advanced thermonuclear weapons.” Such repeated thefts “give the PRC design information on thermonuclear weapons  on a par with our own.”

Despite the ease of such systematic thefts by Chinese spies, the report glumly revealed that our security at national  nuclear weapons labs and our counterintelligence efforts do not even meet minimal standards to prevent such future penetration.

The report also detailed the illegal activities of a number of U.S. corporations, notably Hughes and Loral— with the interference-running of then President Clinton—in the transfer of sensitive technology that has greatly enabled the People’s Liberation Army to develop more efficient and more accurate long-range nuclear missiles that the PLA plans on aiming at the U.S.

On February 2, 1999 a testimony by Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director, George J. Tenet, before the Senate Armed Services Committee, warned of China’s potentially daunting military power of the near future.

“. . . Mr. Chairman,” Tenet cautioned, “we cannot, in focusing on [terrorism], overlook some more traditional concerns in two nations of critical importance to the United States: Russia and China.” Thanks, in part, to the hundreds of billions of dollars of foreign (and largely U.S.) currency flowing freely into China, the PLA was able to support a 17 percent increase in military spending. China’s increase in military spending and preparation has dramatically increased while U.S. military spending and support have dramatically waned during the past decade.

In January of this year, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence released an unclassified version of the CIA’s most recent report titled: Foreign Missile Developments and the Ballistic Missile Threat Through 2015. The report is sobering and frank.

“The Intelligence Community [IC],” it stated in part, “projects that Chinese ballistic missile forces will increase several-fold by 2015, but Beijing’s future ICBM [Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile] force [will be] deployed primarily against the United States—which will number around 75 to 100 warheads—will remain considerably smaller and less capable than the strategic missile forces of Russia and the United States.”

In over twenty years of dealing with China as our Permanent  Normal Trade Relations partner, America has gained nothing. Except  China continues to strengthen its economic and military strength over  the U. S.; infiltrate America’s businesses, military and the willing politicians in Washington, D.C., while pilfering America’s sensitive military weapons and defenses, and establishing a firm foothold on American soil through real estate and business purchases and ventures.

February 1, 2024

Almost 15 years ago when I was first impressed to investigate whether or not America was mentioned in Biblical prophecy, I could not have envisioned the rapid decline our nation has endured. It took me three years before I was prepared to publish my assessment. At the time I was not prophesying that America was IN the Bible, but that the nation was in danger of fulfilling a somewhat ambiguous prophecy in Revelation 18. As our nation continued to plummet into the amoral abyss, I published an update eight years later (the book below). As you read this new edition you will discover, as I did, just how close and in line our nation is to “Mystery Babylon” in the Book of Revelation, and especially as declared in Revelation 18. This book is not meant to be a “scare” tactic, but a wake-up call to the Christian Church in America and everyone that loves this country. PRAY FOR AMERICA and the CHURCH.

Available on Amazon in both paperback and hard cover. Avoid the KDP eBook version. Sorry, but it’s messed up. I expect to have an eBook version up on Barnes & Noble and Kobo toward the end of February (hopefully sooner).

. . . the new version [of Revelation 18 and the Fate of America] is truly a magnum opus on what is happening to the USA and the world . . .

Revelation 18 draws a parallel between the fall of ancient Babylon described in the chapter cited and the current fall of the United States of America.

I read this book reluctantly because I have never really been able to understand the book of Revelation in either the King James Version or any of the newer ones. It has always seemed to me to have been written in an ancient code legible only to ancient peoples who lived around the time it was written.

Dr. James F. Gauss has taken this one chapter of Revelation and made it clear by contrasting its content with what has been and is going on in the USA today.

Biden’s Creation of a Very Dangerous World

James F. Gauss, Ph.D.

April 11, 2023

No. 270

He who speaks truth declares righteousness, but a false witness, deceit.

Proverbs 12:17

Truth is often painful and unsettling.  I wish that I could write about the niceties and cuddly things of life, but that is not my calling.  Proverbs 3:27 states emphatically, Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do so.

Therefore, what I know to be true, I must reveal.  You can do with it what you desire.  Ignore it!  Share it!  Rebut it!

Quite frankly, the Church in America needs to get out of its “hallelujah” bubble and “we’ll be raptured before World chaos” mindset and warn the world of coming devastation if God does not intervene, and that Jesus is the only way to salvation and escape.

President Biden has created the most dangerous world the planet has ever known.  Not only has he strengthened and emboldened the tyrants and despots of the globe, but he has alienated America’s allies and pushed them toward those same tyrants and despots.

However, the biggest threat to the Free World and the American form of Republican Democracy is not any of these rogue actors, but it resides in America’s own White House.  Now I do not believe for a nano second that Biden is behind what is taking place.  He is neither that smart nor cognitive.  The seeds of this rebellion against humanity were planted long ago.  We are just seeing the “fruits” of their labor in rapid succession.

Just about everyone in the world, but especially the enemies of the United States, are laughing uncontrollably at the ineptness and weakness of American leadership.  Foreign newscasts and media mock Biden and his continuous gaffs and acts of feebleness, while the U.S. media, in lock step, make unending excuses for his dereliction of duty as the head of state.  Clearly, the once great United States of America is no longer the leader (not even close) of the Free World, or any world.  In one swift ill-advised (and maybe stolen) election, America has been kicked to the side of the road of history.

“The American wagon is rapidly heading for a place nobody is sure they know. And that makes Joe Biden arguably the worst American President ever,” wrote Indian columnist, Abhijit Majumder.  However, he is just one of many around the world with disparaging and unflattering thoughts of Biden and America.

So, with America’s allies fleeing from her, the world on fire with the potential of World War III on the horizon, the destruction of America’s energy independence, a woefully unprepared military, violence everywhere across the nation, rampant drug addiction and death, racial tensions, sexual perversion of our youth—and the list goes on—where is America’s president?  Why he was in Ireland this week tracing his Irish roots.  No joke, folks.  Our president was in Ireland to commemorate the 25^th year of the Good Friday Agreement that brought peace between Ireland’s warring factions and to find out what branch his heritage doth sprung.  All at taxpayer expense, of course.

The path of Biden’s destructive leadership, or the lack thereof, is way too wide and long, and would take a thick book to “commemorate.”  So, I will have to be brief, very brief, and you will have to do your own research.  For the most part I will just have to give you some highlights and links for now until I have more time for more complete posts on various issues of concern.

Creating the Foundation for WWIII.  As Majumder points out, under no other U.S. president has China felt so empowered and embolden as to threaten an imminent attack on Taiwan.  Nor, might I add, Russia’s bold invasion of Ukraine, North Korea’s pushing forward plans to overtake South Korea, Iran near nuclear bomb capability and the threat to annihilate Israel, and even Venezuela saber rattling against the U.S.  Peace in our time?  Not even close under Biden.

As China boldly sent an estimate 71 fighter jets, 9 destroyers and an aircraft carrier into Taiwanese waters, the President was in La-La Land far away from the “war room” or any other strategic planning center.

As the President of France, Emmanuel Marcon, was grasping the hand of China, Xi Jinping, and urging America’s European allies to disassociate themselves from the United States, America’s intrepid leader was likely glad-handing an Irish ice cream.

 In the meantime, back in real time, after three days of military drills around the island nation of Taiwan, China’s military boldly announced it is “ready to fight.”  They are not talking about the latest miliary bravado video game.  They are talking about the full-scale invasion of Taiwan, a duly recognized sovereign nation.  If they do, what will be America’s response and that of the Free World?  Apparently no one knows for sure and Taiwanese leaders are growing less confident that the United States has its back.

“The theater’s troops are ready to fight at all times and can fight at any time to resolutely smash any form of ‘Taiwan independence’ and foreign interference attempts,” a spokesperson for the Chinese military force know as Joint Sword.

On April 10, Fox News reported that Taiwanese officials are greatly concerned that a China misstep could easily result in an “uncontrollable world war.”

Last August, in simulated war games, the U.S. military determined that it could lose up to 900 Navy and Air Force fighter jets in the first four weeks of a battle with China.  This would be equivalent to about one half of the U.S. fighter jets.

Aside from a possible war with China, we have the hermit kingdom of North Korea once again rattling on with their threats of attack on South Korea (and possibly Japan).  With President Trump out of the picture, North Korea’s Supreme Leader, Kim Jong-Un, appears to be fearless as he ramps up testing of his ICBMs and nuclear arsenal.

Then there is Iran and the Ayatollahs.  With no hindrance from the Biden administration and tacit support of their nuclear program, many Iran watchers, including Israel, feel that Iran is only weeks, maybe even days, away from enough nuclear material for a bomb, which they plan to use on Israel.

If these major threats to world war are not enough to unnerve the American psyche, in our own backyard we have the despotic nation of Venezuela that is threatening the American homeland with aggressive rhetoric, if not outright threats of hostility.  The United States of America was once the “go-to” nation for much of Latin America.  Today, much of the land to our south is looking to China, Iran and other despotic nations for their sustenance and security.

Worldwide, all of this malfeasance of American leadership has led to another very unsettling development.

BRICS and the Death of the U.S. Dollar.  Recently the nations of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa have agreed to ditch the U.S. dollar as the preferred currency of trade.  Other key nations are expected to follow.  This potentially will have a devastating impact on the U.S. currency and result in its value plummeting.

While the BRICS nations had been planning this move for some time, with the weak leadership in D.C. they realized their time had come sooner than expected.  Members of BRICS see this as an attempt to reshape the “world order” and decouple world trade away from the U.S. dollar and euro.  If successful this will be a monumental financial coup d’état for the anti-United States contingent.

Benzinga reported, “The new currency’s introduction will inevitably impact world financial markets, potentially causing a redistribution of global currency reserves and affecting the demand for other major currencies like the U.S. dollar, euro and yen.”

Along with this nagging prospect, CNN reported that a hidden banking crisis could be on the horizon.  It seems that non-bank financial institutions (pension funds, insurers and the like) are sitting on $239 trillion of global assets (or just under half of the total).  These assets are coming under increasing financial risks as interest rates rise and credit losses rise.

As Indian columnist Majumder wrote, “India has long told the US that it is neither going to give up its decades of friendship with Russia, nor stop buying Russian arms and oil. . . .

“Saudi Arabia is willing to deal in currencies other than the dollar for the first time. Chinese and French energy companies completed the first-ever deal on liquefied natural gas using the renminbi yuan currency. . . .

“The Reserve Bank of India recently allowed central banks from 18 countries to open special Vostro Rupee Accounts to settle payments in Indian rupees.”

Depleting America’s Oil.  In his first two years in office, President Biden has not only tried to destroy America’s energy independence but he has drained the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve by 42 percent, from 638 million barrels (mb) to 371mb, the lowest level of reserves since November 1983.  However, in 1983, the SPR stocks were rising, not falling.  The considered full capacity of the SPR is 714mb, although SPR reached 726.53mb in June 2011, the highest on record.

Since the Obama years, China has been one of the favorite destinations of American produced oil.  So much so, that in January 2012, Unipec, a subsidiary of Sinopec, China’s huge energy conglomerate, established its American office in Houston, TX.

During the eight years George W. Bush’s presidency, China was the recipient of 39.4mb of American oil.  Under the two terms of President Barrack Obama the U.S. oil sales to China mushroomed 8 times to 315mb.  Under President Trump’s four-year term they doubled from the  Obama years to 632.94mb.  In Biden’s first two years in office, oil exports to China, including  sales from the SPR, were 461.54mb.  Prior to President Clinton granting China a Most Favored Nation trading partner, China received no U.S. oil.  See the charts below.

With the war in Ukraine dragging on and the potential for mega wars between China and Taiwan, North Korea and South Korea, Iran (and its proxies) and Israel, that would most likely involve the United States, America can ill-afford draining its SPR and selling its oil to its number one enemy.

To further exasperate the issue, OPEC nations recently decided to cut their oil production by 1.66mb per day.  The effect has been a rise in oil prices above $80/barrel and analysts foreseeing $100/barrel in the near future.  If Biden is sincere in wanting to refill the SPR it will come at a much higher price to the U.S. taxpayer.

However, this is not the biggest hole in America’s frontline security.  Guess who has been linked to Unipec/Sinopec?  The Biden cabal via good ole Hunter Biden and his “investment” company.  In July 2022, “Republicans on the House Oversight Committee sent a letter to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm on Wednesday demanding to know why the Biden administration sold oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to a Chinese company linked to Hunter Biden’s investment firm.”

The Committee members, of course, were more than just curious as to why Unipec received billions of dollars from a Hunter-connected investment firm and the subsequent exportation of oil from the SPR via Unipec to China.  A hefty deal that was likely to enrich the pockets of Hunter Biden.

“This transaction is even more troubling given that evidence continues to mount showing the Biden family peddled access to the highest levels of government to enrich themselves,” added Rep. James Comer (R-KY). 

The big question:  With a potential war looming with China via its assault on Taiwan, is Biden’s oil exports to China, especially if they are to enrich his son (and maybe his own pocket), tantamount to “aiding and abetting” the enemy of the United States?

Therefore, putting away lying, “Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” 

for we are members of one another.

Grease My Hand, I’ll Grease Yours

James F. Gauss, Ph.D.

April 4, 2023

In June, 1989, after the notorious Tiananmen Square massacre in China, the Bush Administration imposed certain sanctions on the Chinese. However, under the Clinton presidency, China had an open door to his administration. Perhaps as payback, Clinton saw his pockets lined and re-election campaign heavily supported with dollars from Chinese officials, businessmen and the Chinese military in 1995 and 1996.

The revolving door of Chinese money and Chinese access was thoroughly greased. As far as Clinton was concerned there was nothing that China should not have access to or receive under MFN status. Of course there was complicity among American firms that had sensitive military technology. Clinton readily gave permission for such defense manufacturers as Loral Space and Communications, Hughes and Martin-Marietta to assist the Chinese with satellite and rocket launches in 1993. It did not hurt that these firms were multi- million dollar contributors to the Democratic Party and the Clinton campaigns for president.

On October 4, 1994, Clinton’s Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, in a joint agreement with China’s Foreign Minister, announced that the U.S. would no longer ban the export of U.S. high technology to China. Two weeks later, U.S. Secretary of Defense, William Perry, stated that the U.S. and Chinese military leaders had agreed to share each other’s high-level briefings on military strategy.

Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence . . . the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government.

George Washington

Farewell Address, September 17, 1796

In September, 1995, President Clinton proposed that the Chinese government owned China Ocean Shipping Co. (COSCO) be allowed to lease the Long Beach, California Naval Shipyard. Congress, military leaders and the general public strongly opposed the idea, but after the naval yards full closure on September 30, 1997, Clinton leased the 214 acre, 165 building facility to COSCO for a measly $14.5 million per year. The daily activities and shipping to and from the port were impossible to monitor and gave America’s avowed enemy ready access and infiltration to American soil.

In May 1996, Loral Space and Communications, after investigating another joint venture Chinese rocket failure, decided to share sensitive rocket guidance and control systems information with the Chinese. As a result of such technology transfer, the Pentagon declared that the security of the United States had been compromised. However, Loral CEO Bernard Schwartz was the largest Democratic Party contributor for Clinton’s re-election on November 5 with a hefty sum of $632,000.

With the doors to China having been swung wide open with Clinton approval, Hughes and Loral turned over their expertise to aid the reliability of China’s nuclear missiles in May 1997. That month, Clinton decided that China deserved a renewal of their MFN status.

In January of the following year, after China promised to no longer aid Iran’s nuclear program, Clinton decided that China had proven itself to be “a reliable partner for nuclear technology exchange.”

The larceny of America’s military technology and defense secrets abated to a degree under the two-term presidency of George W. Bush, but re-ignited under the two-term presidency of Barack Obama and Bill Clinton’s wife, Hillary, as Secretary of State. The Obama/Clinton duo became a honey pot for China, Russia, Iran and other despotic world leaders that just happened to be staunch and avowed enemies of the United States of America.

In October 2010, only 21 months after Obama took office, Hillary’s State Department, along with the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, “unanimously approved” the partial sale of Uranium One, a Canadian Company with Uranium fields in the U.S., to Rosatom (a.k.a. Rosatom State Nuclear Energy Corporation), a Russian state owned nuclear energy conglomerate.

The reported deal supposedly gave Russia access to 20 percent of America’s uranium resources—a figure highly disputed by liberal media sources.

In an investigative report by John Solomon and Alison Spann that was published in The Hill in October, 2017 they disclosed that even before the Obama administration approved of the controversial Rosatom deal, the FBI was aware of extensive bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering within the United States by Russian nuclear industry officials.

Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States

The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States is an inter-agency committee of the United States Government  that reviews the national security implications of foreign  investments in U.S. companies or operations. Chaired by the United States Secretary of the Treasury, CFIUS includes representatives from 16 U.S. departments and agencies, including the Defense, State and Commerce departments, as well as the Department of Homeland Security.

In addition to accumulating the testimonies of eyewitness accounts and supportive documents, the FBI amassed incriminating information on Bill and Hillary Clinton. They also obtained an eyewitness account—backed by documents—indicating Russian nuclear officials had routed millions of dollars to the U.S. designed to benefit former President Bill Clinton’s charitable foundation during the time Secretary of State Hillary Clinton served on a government body that provided a favorable decision to Moscow, Solomon and Spann penned. The deal reportedly netted the Clinton Foundation $145 million, a sum vehemently protested by the liberal media and “fact checkers.” [Excerpted from Revelation 18 and the Fate of America (2021 Edition, pp. 120-122].

The Greasing Continues Unabated.  In an August, 2022 OP/ED for Fox News, Sen. Marco Rubio coined the moniker of “Beijing Biden” for the President as an appropriate recognition of Biden’s suspected collusion and profiting from China’s infiltration of the United States.  According to Rubio, hidden within Biden’s massive “Inflation Reduction Act” of last autumn, there are huge tax breaks for the manufacturing of electric batteries, solar panels and wind turbines.  Not for U.S. companies, but for Chinese communist companies.

In December 2021, The New York Times reported that a Hunter Biden venture was helpful in securing a $3.8 billion purchase of one of the world’s largest cobalt deposits by a Chinese firm.  What is cobalt used for?  It is a key ingredient for electric batteries.  Once again, the Biden clan prefers Chinese take-out to in-house American menu.  Who knows what this transaction netted the Bidens.  Even at the lowest real estate “finders fee” of 10 percent, that would be a hefty $380 million.  Just saying.  No proof, of course.

Early this year there was a lot of brouhaha over the discovery of boxes of classified government documents found at the Penn Biden Center at the University of Pennsylvania and later in Joe Biden’s garage in Delaware.  Nothing to see here, except a suspicious $54 million Chinese donation to the University and Biden’s support of U.S. energy policies that favor China but are damaging to the United States.  There is no question that Biden and his team have been out to destroy America’s energy independence since day one of his administration.  Americans are paying a heavy price while the President and his family line their pockets with filthy lucre.

How did Mr. Joe Biden prosper in this exchange?  In an April 9, 2022, article, The New York Post reported that between 2017 (when the University first started receiving the Chinese donations) and 2019, then V.P. Biden supposedly received $775,000 from the institution of higher learning, yet had no teaching responsibilities.

The laundry list of dirty and tainted money reportedly lining Biden family pockets is long and deeply concerning for all those looking at the current rumblings by China and its quest of world influence and domination.  At a time when America needs to be at its political and military strongest, it is seen as a pathetic image of past glories.

Thank you Mr. Biden and family.

Wars and Rumors of Wars

Is America Prepared for War?

Part 2

James F. Gauss, Ph.D.

March 24, 2023

We have met the enemy and he is us.

Pogo (1970)

To accomplish his goal of a weaker America, President Obama stealthily decimated the U.S. Military. With the complicit liberal mainstream media standing idly by and succeeding in keeping the public ignorant of the subversiveness   of their president, Obama systematically dismantled the finest military  force in the world. In just his first term in office he modified the military’s “Rules of Engagement” to the extent that it put more U.S. soldiers at risk and elevated the U.S. military casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan. The lengthy war in Afghanistan, alone, resulted in 1,758 U.S. military deaths during Obama’s eight year presidency (source: Dept. of Defense). Obama’s restrictive Rules of Engagement were likely a contributing factor to the high casualty numbers.

Trump rescinded the Obama restrictions on enemy engagement and likely resulted in saving the lives of many U.S. military. Under Trump’s four year presidency the total number of U.S. military deaths plummeted to 56 for the four years as Trump vowed to    end the war there and bring America’s soldiers home.

Obama also further weakened the military by authorizing women to serve in combat positions; rescinding “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” thus allowing homosexuals to freely practice their lifestyle while serving in the military. He down played the fight against Islamic  terrorism, trying to placate the Muslims of the world and create a politically correct military view of Islam that watered down the true threat to America. In reality, Obama created a U.S. military after his own beliefs that coddled, sanctified and promoted his ideals and his voting constituency—the minorities, women, homosexuals and  Muslim service personnel.

His acolyte, Joe Biden, has taken up the same path, and has allowed transgenders to serve in the U.S. military and commanded the military to pay for transgender surgery. Biden’s Secretary of Defense, General Lloyd Austin,  immediately after his confirmation, called for a “loyalty” purge of the military (based largely on a military member’s   political views).  Source: Revelation 18 and the Fate of America (2021 Edition), pp 305-306.

To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.

George Washington

First Annual Address to Congress, January 8, 1790

Go Woke and Croak.  As threats against America and the Free World mount daily, the priority of the Biden administration is not to build a formidable military but rather, one that is environmentally friendly, electrified, perversely diverse and politically correct. Under President Biden’s command, the Pentagon leaders envision not a strong, fierce military, but a woke battle weakened force that will be the envy of the world—NOT!

The priority is not “peace through strength” as President Reagan promulgated during his presidency, but wokeness through “diversity, equity and inclusion” (DEI).

“We know only too well that war comes not when the forces of freedom are strong, but when they are weak. It is then that tyrants are tempted” (Ronald Reagan, Republican National Convention, July 17 1980).

The Biden administration and his Secretary of Defense(less) are so committed to a woke military that the Pentagon is offering six-figure salaries for DEI whiz kids, presumably fresh out of America’s woke higher education system.

On March 20, Senator Eric Schmitt, a member of the Armed Services Committee, wrote a letter to Secretary of Defense, Gen. Lloyd Austin, demanding answers to the military’s focus on DEI wokeness.  According to Fox News and other sources, the Navy and Air Force are looking to hire DEI specialists at eye-popping salaries of $155,700 to $183,500, depending on wokeness experience, of course.

“China will not be defeated by DEI,” Schmitt penned. “Instead, the Department of Defense’s focus on DEI weakens America’s ability to deter or defeat China by diverting resources away from increasing lethality in favor of woke training.”

Last year, the Pentagon budgeted $86.5 million for military DEI education and training.

As America’s enemies near and far increase their military mite and plans of attack (in the midst of their roiling belly laughter), America’s once elite forces train for environmental purity and political correctness.

On October 12, 2022, The Washington Stand published a partial list of our new military’s wokeness priorities amidst Biden administration denials of such.  On the list of 25 provided by journalist Suzanne Bowdey, I will highlight the first ten and their links if you really want to get into it.

1. January 2021: Biden Welcomes Transgenderism back into the Military, Scrapping Trump Policy
2. January 2021: Army Punishes Chaplain for Opposing Transgenderism in the Ranks
3. March 2021: Pentagon Launches Extremist Stand-Down
4. March 2021: White House Announces Taxpayer-Funded Gender Reassignments for Troops
5. March 2021: Navy under Fire for Reading List that Promotes America as ‘Systemically Racist’
6. May 2021: Space Force Suspends Lt. Colonel for Denouncing Marxism
7. June 2021: DOD Asks for Money to Combat Climate Change
8. June 2021: Critical Race Theory Infiltrates U.S. Military Academies
9. June 2021: Military Defends Drag Show at Largest Training Center as ‘Essential to Morale’
10. June 2021: Pentagon Warns Chaplains to Affirm the LGBT Lifestyle

This just represents the first six months of the Biden presidency.  Instead of bulking up America’s forces and defenses,  Biden and the Biden Pentagon are wasting America’s valuable and limited financial capital and military personnel resources.  This is not only shameful, but should be treasonable.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

Article III, Section 3, U.S. Constitution

“With a track record like this,” Bowdey wrote, “it’s no wonder the military can’t find anyone to enlist. As one soldier said, ‘I would not have my children join for the same reason they are in private schools vs. public schools.’ In other words, [Secretary of the Army, Christine] Wormuth had better figure out what woke means — and fast.  Or pretty soon, there won’t be anything left to recruit for.”

Note that absolutely none of these priorities move America’s military forces ahead toward combat readiness.

“The military is extremely woke,” one service member told Fox News Digitial [sic] recently.

“I do perceive the Army leadership as woke, and probably the lower enlisted (they have been indoctrinated in school),” another service member said. “Equity-diversity is another way to divide and control the masses. It does nothing for the warfighter.”

Military Attrition & Depletion.  The Biden wokeness agenda is not only weakening America’s already depleted forces, it is demoralizing those that remain and has significantly hampered military recruiting needs.

On December 27, 2022, Senator Tom Cotton, U.S. Army Captain (ret.), wrote an OP/ED for Fox News on the impact of Biden’s woke military mandates.  He opened with this terse paragraph:

The U.S. military should be the ultimate meritocracy – nothing matters on the battlefield other than training, leadership, and the trust between fellow soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines. Unfortunately, recent Democrat administrations – and Joe Biden’s is no exception – have made race, gender, and controversial political teachings an integral part of military training and values, from the Pentagon to our service academies.

He went on to pen, “social experimentation in the military has life and death consequences, not to mention repercussions for troop morale and recruitment. That’s incredibly dangerous, especially as we face rising threats from China, Russia, and other global adversaries.”

Cotton noted that in a recent Reagan National Defense survey, that the “great deal” of confidence in the U.S. military has “plummeted from 70 percent in 2018, to 45 percent” today. 

The Biden woke military (Read: anti-American) agenda is becoming disastrous for the nation’s battle-hardened readiness.   As a result, military recruitment has plunged, morale has tanked and patriotic conservative soldiers (that make up the majority of forces) are being purged from the ranks for not being politically correct or rejecting the COVID vaccine mandates.

In 2022, the Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard missed their recruiting goals by wide margins.  In 2023, the Army expects to miss its recruitment goal by about 30,000.

This new, non-military, non-readiness agenda is also impacting America’s major military leadership institutes.  The military academies at West Point (Army), Annapolis (Navy), Air Force and the Virginia Military Institute saw enrollment declines of  12, 20, 20 and 25 percent, respectively in 2022.  This does not bode well for the nation’s future military leadership.

“. . .  the academies have also taught radical doctrines like Critical Race Theory under the label of ‘diversity and inclusion,’ Cotton referenced. “The Air Force Academy established a special ‘Diversity and Inclusion reading room’ that it described as a ‘safe space’ for America’s young warriors. It also created an organization of hand-picked cadets – identified by a purple braid on their dress uniform—to spread these controversial ideals in the ranks. At West Point, cadets can now minor in ‘Diversity and Inclusion Studies.’”

Absolutely none of this “training” has anything to do with preparing America’s military forces for battle or defending the nation’s borders or interests abroad, let alone coming to the aid of our allies around the world.

Last October it was reported that service members are leaving the military ranks faster than new recruit replacements.  The Army National Guard alone lost ten percent of its members.  About 9,000 ANG members have refused to get the COVID vaccination as mandated and another 5,000 have requested religious, medical or administration exemptions for the same.

Apparently America’s new battle cry is, “Onward and upward with DEI and the mean, Green machine.”

Reaping the Whirlwind. Part 2

Homogenous to Heterogeneous to Helter-Skelter

James F. Gauss, Ph.D.

March 7, 2023

From the chamber of the south comes the whirlwind,

and cold from the scattering winds of the north.

Job 37:9

We lived for a time in Ecuador, the small South American country where 93.5% of the population is Ecuadorian or native born.  Essentially the only language written or spoken is Castilian Spanish.  Yes, there are some native dialects, bilinguals and English speaking Ecuadorians as swell as thousands of Canadian and American residents.  For the most part, it is a pretty homogenous society.  The language of society, the country and the government is Spanish.  You either know it or you do not.  There are typically no bilingual government forms, signs or translators.  If you do not read or speak Spanish, it is your responsibility to get a translator. 

In the United States it is quite different.  Our beloved federal and state governments bend over backwards to provide translators and multi-language documents and forms for those who do not speak or understand English, our supposed “native” language.  One insurance company I know provides translations in 18 different languages.  According to various sources the cost of providing a translation can range from 8-25 cents per word.  Most of that cost burden eventually wiggles its way to the American taxpayer.  By providing so much assistance it disincentivizes the non-English speaker from learning the language of all our government documents, road signs, laws, text books and everything else American.

While Ecuador has one official language, it has been stated that America has “no official language,” even though 245 million of its residents speak English.  To complicate matters, there are over 350 languages spoken in the United States.  There are over 41 million Spanish speakers, followed by 3.4 million Chinese.  AND, we wonder why our nation no longer has an identity and appears to be falling apart.

Net migration statistics provide a peek into America’s growing problem.  On May 28, 2021, the Independent Sentinel reported that illegal immigrants crossing our nation’s southern border were coming from 160 countries.  We are no longer being invaded by a few thousand Mexicans, but by the entire world.  There are only 195 recognized countries in the world and the United States is being overwhelmed by members of 82 percent of them.  No nation can sustain or survive such an ongoing assault on its sovereignty.  The Biden administration knows that.  If they do not, they have no right to be leading this country.  If they do know that, but do not care, they should be removed for malfeasance (at the very least).

With this unrelenting surge of illegal immigration, the United States has one of the worst “net migration” statistics in the world.  For 2023 it is estimated that America’s net immigration will be 3.01/1000 people, or an estimated one million more people entering the country than leaving or emigrating elsewhere.  That, however, seems to be woefully underestimated under the current influx of alien intruders. Nations to our south, however, and not surprisingly, have net negative emigration, meaning more people leaving the country than entering—and we know where they are going.  In ascending order of emigration: Mexico (-0.77/1000), Honduras (-1.32), Guatemala (-1.63), Columbia (-1.85), Nicaragua (-2.04) and El Salvador (-7.01).

From where are America’s illegals emigrating? Not all illegals are coming from Mexico or Central America.  A growing number, over 33,000 in May 2021 (for example) were coming from countries of Eastern Europe, the Middle East, India, South East Asia—virtually everywhere on the globe.  A growing number that are caught have been on our nation’s terrorist “watch list.”  Known criminals, sex and drug traffickers and multiple deportees are showing up by the thousands.  Not all illegal crossings are innocent families seeking asylum like the political left would like us to believe.  Thousands known and unknown have criminal intent and will result in chaos for much of our nation.

For the migrant, making the trek an illegal crossing can be treacherous and deadly.  In FY2022, an estimated 782 attempts proved deadly.  Death often comes from starvation, murders, drownings, snake bites, at the hands of illegal traffickers or gangs or suffocation in a semi-trailer.

It is an immense problem of our own creation, or more accurately, of our corrupt D.C. cabal.  The impact, as mentioned in the previous blog will have negative repercussions for decades to come, and will affect everything from quality of life to employment to education to crime to drug addiction and much more.

Thank you Mr. President and those who voted you into office—dead or alive.

Reaping the Whirlwind. Part 1

If you want to know where America could be headed, READ Revelation 18 and the Fate of America (2021 Edition). 

“Dr. Gauss has authored a work that has elevated his star as a modern day prophet. There are few books I have read that have held my attention for its entire duration. Every page is filled with pertinent news and information that should wake the church up and fire-up preachers to PREACH!

“As an evangelist, I am most pleased that Dr. Gauss continually encourages the laity to go out daily verbally witnessing for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (We have forgotten why we are here-to win the lost)! There is hope for America-and His Name is Jesus!”

David L. Cobb, Evangelist, Southern Baptist Conference

. . . the new version [of Revelation 18 and the Fate of America] is truly a magnum opus on what is happening to the USA and the world and so I did a review that is below.

This is a second and vastly updated version of the original published in 2014 [paperback, 2013]. Since the book is principally the same but much more has been added, I will start by presenting my review of the 2014 edition:

Revelation 18 draws a parallel between the fall of ancient Babylon described in the chapter cited and the current fall of the United States of America.

I read this book reluctantly because I have never really been able to understand the book of Revelation in either the King James Version or any of the newer ones. It has always seemed to me to have been written in an ancient code legible only to ancient peoples who lived around the time it was written.

Dr. James F. Gauss has taken this one chapter of Revelation and made it clear by contrasting its content with what has been and is going on in the USA today.

“As America’s wealth and power grew, so did its worldwide influence. However, what it gained in influence it relinquished to pride, moral collapse and perversion. The once great nation that was founded on Christ-centered ideals and life style slipped ever so slowly at first…then swiftly into hedonism and godlessness.”

The similarities pointed out verse-by-verse between the fall of Babylon and the ongoing moral collapses of the USA are indeed startling and tragic.

As John Darby’s commentary describes it: “(The powerful) mourn over her; so do those that have sought profit and ease and commerce in the earth. The royal and commercial system is shattered to pieces by the upset of the system. What characterizes her, that for which she is judged, is idolatry, corruption, worldliness, and persecution. She is judged destroyed, and the prosperity of the world is smitten by her fall…”

Dr. Gauss has shown how this chapter describes, not only the fall of Babylon, but also the fall of any country that loses its moral compass. This has been true of many countries over the centuries and is most clearly true today as regards the United States of America.

The 2021 edition contains all mentioned above and much, much more. It has been updated with much news and official reports, analysis and references pertinent to and consistent with, the original edition.

In addition to the news events pertinent to the themes of the 2014 edition, Dr. Gauss has researched in great depth almost every possible topic and action that bear influence upon the theme of the book and especially reinforce the comparison between Revelation 18 and current affairs affecting the USA since the first edition was published. The result is a truly massive quantity of data and information that make the new edition much more pertinent as a written photograph of the rapidly increasing advance of the very despicable public and private affairs that are bringing the USA to its end today.
