During the Senate Committee Hearing On The Findings And Recommendations Of The Commission On The National Defense Strategy, which was held July 30th on Capitol Hill, the Chairman of the Committee, Senator Jack Reed, and Senator Roger Wicker, declared in their bipartisan opening remarks that, due to their intelligence briefings by the diverse commission, they believe that we are observing a multi-theater national threat that has not been seen since World War II. He stressed that due to the commission’s findings, they have observed that the DOD is “not adapting” to the security of the nation and allies; therefore, the commission is requesting a “fundamental change” that aligns with a “multiple theater force construct including space and cyber”. The commission also duly noted that not only is a restructuring of the DOD required, but also specific restructuring and renovation of the civil society as the national power is required to protect the homeland from the coming threats; ultimately declaring that “we as a people” are not prepared at all for what’s to come. Senator Reed, in response to the National Defense Strategy (NDS) members key points he said “During World War II we had two years to prepare but with this specific threat that’s coming, he doesn’t think we have that much time to prepare at all”. The NDS concluded that Russia’s aggression is being funded by China and enabled by the transferring of goods and services to Russia by Iran, China and North Korea.
The beacons are lit, and we must pray and be ready for our families because our government has failed to react, and according to the NDS, the intel was provided and they failed to prepare in 2018 and 2022, while a multi-facet front aligned under the new international order known as BRICS. Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) was duly brought to the attention of the committee by Senator Tuberville, who declared “BRICS is recruiting the newly elected Jewish President of Mexico,” who has a track record of giving easement to the cartel and was shown her hand of power by the assignations of 37 candidates that were her competition. This will give all the nations of BRICS access right at our own southern border.
