Brian secretary of State, MIKE
Brian Secretary of State, MIKE
Pompeo, revealing chinese
consulate in New York is major
hub for spies. In the u dot S
the secretary telling New York
Post, the Chinese Communist Party,
is quote engaged in activities
where they are crossing the line
from normal diplomacy to things
more akin to what spies are
doing.
Weve been watching this guy for
a while
here to react. General Jack, Keane,
Jack, weve known this for some
time
I think whats really happening
here- is that Secretary Pompeo
wants to alert as the
intelligence agencies have been
doing. Certainly local
government local authorities
whats taking place, but because
they are actually moving, not
just with state officials but
into parent teachers,
associations thats, not
something that would be normal
traffic that they would receive,
certainly
so thats, why the public
announcements are here.
What this is so our folks can
understand this. You know
Russia tries to disrupt our
elections, actually interfere
with the process, create chaos
and undermine democracy.
What China is doing is more
about a positive footnote for
China itself. Putting China put
China in a good light.
They are not involved in the
election process and trying to
disrupt it, but they are. They
are involved in purporting
whats good for Chinas national
interest and thats. What this is
about
its so pervasive and they have
very comprehensive plan to do
everything, steal our
technology steal our secrets
and also, as we are seeing here,
have influence campaign to
affect american public opinion
and create a favorable view of
China.
I mean for a guy to be the
Nypd with marine background to
try to get inside the american
community, while his whole family
is involved with the chinese
Communist Deliberation Army,
its unbelievable, that its
happening in New York
cracking down in Houston,
hope of getting the message of
theft of intellectual property
lets fast forward to IRAN. You
were saying that the execution
of the wrestler national hero,
because he participated in
protests against government,
along with thousands of others,
was meant to sent a message and
we are coming back with
sanctions on the country because
of it.
What message are we sending
back
jack yeah? Well, this is very
tragic, and not people dont
recognize how repressive the
regime is internally and what
goes on day in and day out in
IRAN.
In the last year alone, the
wrestler is one of one thousand five hundred people
that have been killed by the
regime murdered sometimes put
in prison, tortured like he was
and then killed in that prison.
They have twelve thousand people that
they have put in jail in the
last year as a result of protest
movements or opinions against
the regime
they have killed since they took
over their own people who
repressed against them and have
the courage to protest against
them close to one hundred and twenty thousand
thats. What this is really
about.
You know they have this in
common with China and Russia,
any criticism whatsoever super
sensitive about it because they
know its so damaging to moral
authority in running the reck,
the regime
Brian. What happened with you
youve been a critical to IRAN
and the stories are making a
difference. How do I know? What
did the FBI inform you about
what IRAN is doing to you? Jack ive been involved with
Jack ive, been involved with
the FBI and when I called for
Salamani to be charged and
including with Bin Laden, they
got into my emails and tried to
disrupt my international travel
and recently, along with other
government officials and other
people. U DOT S, government
officials and others who speak
out against the regime. You
know they have a trumped up
trial and found us guilty of
crimes against the iranian
regime.
This is another indication of
how sensitive they are. Hey.
Look at me: im, a retired guy
from the United States military
who has a voice in America
dealing with foreign policy and
national security on a son
on somewhat of a scale, and they
are troubled by that and thats
how sensitive they are and
thats. Why, speaking out against
this regime, really matters
Brian, absolutely
you struck a nerve because of
the power you have and the
respect you have in foreign.
