PLAN RED by Gordon G. Chang


PLAN RED

CHINA’S PROJECT TO DESTROY AMERICA

BY GORDON G. CHANG

Author of CHINA IS GOING TO WAR 

“Xi Jinping wants to shape the world in China’s image, and in his conception of the world there is no place for the United States or even the current international order. Xi believes that he must destroy America to accomplish his objectives. And he has a plan.” --Gordon G. Chang

“I’m saying exactly what you [Chang] say – China is not out for our good.”

--President Donald J. Trump

**CHINA IS PLOTTING TO PLUNGE THE WORLD INTO CONFLICT.

**CHINA HAS A PLAN TO DESTORY AMERICA.

**DOES AMERICA HAVE A PLAN TO DEFEND ITSELF?

In his new book, PLAN RED: China’s Project to Destroy America, first and foremost expert analyst on China Gordon G. Chang warns of the very real and present dangers posed to the United States and the entire world by a Communist China on the march, led by Chinese ruler Xi Jinping. In PLAN RED, you’ll learn:

·    How China is preparing to go to war -- not just “unrestricted war” or political war, but “hot war,” as Americans see in the movies.

·    That China is waging a campaign against the U.S. that excludes nothing and uses every point of contact with society to destroy it, attacking America from the inside.

·    That China is penetrating American society so thoroughly that the Communist Party has been able to kill Americans with impunity.

·    How China turned an in-country China epidemic into a once-in-a-century pandemic -- the first time in history that one nation has attacked all the others.

·    That China is using all Communist Party resources to support criminal activity in the U.S., and Americans are dying as a direct result of those activities.

Chang provides a sobering scenario and strong argument that it is time to take a page from Ronald Reagan’s playbook and work to bring down the enemy -- before it is too late for America and the rest of the world. The Chinese Communist Party often talks about “win-win” solutions, but as its actions make clear, it believes there can only be ONE survivor -- either the People’s Republic of China or the United States of America.

“A much-needed wake-up call that China assumes it is open season on Americans abroad and now at home.” --Victor Davis Hanson 

“China is attacking America. Plan Red not only sounds the critical alarm but also makes clear what the U.S. must do to defend freedom.” --Lou Dobbs 

“Lays out in precise detail how China plans to bring down America and rule the world. A wake-up call that we ignore at our peril.” --KT McFarland 

“Nobody outside China’s political orbit understands Beijing’s plans and ambitions better than Gordon Chang.” --Dick Morris 

“Read this book. Before it’s too late.” --Sebastian Gorka

Muhammad: A Critical Biography by Robert Spencer

Muhammad: A Critical Biography

What can we really know about him?

By Robert Spencer

We know a great deal about Muhammad - or so it seems. Islamic tradition contains an astonishing wealth of information about the founding figure of the Islamic faith, and most historians take for granted that this material is generally reliable. In his latest book, Muhammad: A Critical Biography, historian and Islamic scholar Robert Spencer takes a detailed look at the Islamic traditions regarding Muhammad and lays bare their contradictions, inconsistences, and incoherence.

Robert Spencer goes where establishment historians fear to tread, taking a deep dive into the Islamic traditions regarding Muhammad and revealing how much actual variation there is in what is generally presented as a unified portrait of the prophet of Islam.

In Muhammad: A Critical Biography, you’ll learn:

·    The story of Muhammad in Islamic tradition is not one of the noble founders of a great religion; Islamic tradition depicts him as a warlord, a murderer, a rapist, a thief, and even worse.

·    Much of the behavior of Islamic terrorists goes back to their imitating the example of Muhammad, who did the kinds of things they do today and is revered in the Qur'an as the "excellent example" (33:21); if he were alive today, he'd be the leader of ISIS.

·    Because terrorism is justified by Muhammad's example, it can't be eradicated from Islam.

·    Most of the stories about Muhammad are contradicted by other stories in Islamic tradition. Some stories even say he originally had a different name and was visited not by Gabriel, but by another angel. They're more legend than fact and were created for political purposes.

·    Even if the stories about Muhammad are not historically accurate, it's important for us to know what they say, as Islamic terrorists imitate what they think Muhammad did every day. The stories of his life have caused more destruction than the stories of anyone else's life throughout history, whether they're fact or fiction.

Robert Spencer shows that there is no agreement in the earliest Islamic sources about the most fundamental details of this towering figure’s life. There are conflicting accounts of key details of his life, including the circumstances and contents of the first revelation he claimed to have received from Allah; the year of his birth; the length of his prophetic career; the name of the angel who supposedly appeared to him; and even his own name. 

In Muhammad: A Critical Biography, Spencer continues the groundbreaking research he began in The Truth About Muhammad and Did Muhammad Exist? exposing the shocking reality of how shaky Islam’s foundations really are. He meticulously explains why competing traditions may have been invented and definitively demonstrates that, contrary to the complacency of establishment historians, the Muhammad of Islam is more legend than history, more fable than fact.  

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Robert Spencer is the director of Jihad Watch and a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center. He is the author of twenty-eight books, including bestsellers The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades), The Truth About Muhammad, The History of Jihad, and The Critical Qur’an. Spencer has led seminars on Islam and jihad for the FBI, the United States Central Command, United States Army Command and General Staff College, the Joint Terrorism Task Force, the Anti-Terrorism Advisory Council, and the U.S. intelligence community.

One Jewish State by David Friedman


ONE JEWISH STATE

THE LAST, BEST HOPE TO RESOLVE THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT

By DAVID FRIEDMAN

FORMER U.S. AMBASSADOR TO ISRAEL

&

Bestselling Author of SLEDGEHAMMER

"The Protector of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps."

--Psalm 121, Verse 4

The terrorist massacre committed by Hamas against innocent Israelis on October 7, 2023, brought great trauma to the State of Israel. But it also has brought great clarity, says David Friedman, former U.S. ambassador to Israel, in his new book, ONE JEWISH STATE: The Last, Best Hope to Resolve the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, which was released on September 3rd.

Amb. Friedman says, "It is this clarity that tells us we must try something NEW. It is this clarity that tells us Israel must plan its future on its own and not obsess about what others think. And it is this clarity that compels us to go back to basics - to return to the biblical values and divine covenants that unite the Jewish people."

It is this clarity that has inspired the former U.S. ambassador to Israel and bestselling author of Sledgehammer, to write and lead a new movement: ONE JEWISH STATE: The Last, Best Hope to Resolve the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.

One of the leading architects of the historic Abraham Accords, David Friedman explains why in these turbulent and dangerous times, the simple phrase of three words - ONE JEWISH STATE - must be the guideline for Israel and the world's collective future.

Each word of ONE JEWISH STATE is deeply instilled with meaning:

ONE: There is only ONE country earmarked for the Jewish people... ONE. There are 49 Muslim countries, and many Christian, Buddhist, and Hindu countries, but only ONE Jewish State.

JEWISH: This Jewish State is exactly that - JEWISH. It is the place where Jewish history was born, where Jewish values were created, and where more Jews live than anywhere else. It is situated on the land given to the Jewish people by God, in the words of the Holy Bible.

STATE: Israel is not just a place; it is a country with sovereignty over its land and responsibility for its inhabitants. Today that sovereignty has been called into question by the nations of the world and even by some within Israel. But Israel cannot be Jewish without sovereignty over the places that make it Jewish.

Amb. Friedman proposes a goal and a path, with God's help, for Israel to have complete sovereignty over all its biblical homeland - in a just manner that brings peace, prosperity, and essential human dignity to ALL of Israel's inhabitants. In ONE JEWISH STATE, he will explore:

·    The History of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict;

·    The true history of Jews and Muslims in the disputed territories;

·    Past, present, and future legal issues;

·    Prior proposals, peace plans, and so-called "solutions," and why they ALL failed;

·    Why Israel has succeeded as a regional superpower while its Arab neighbors have failed;

·    Palestinian tribalism and the creation of a nationalist movement;

·    Religious and biblical issues, conflict, and agreement;

·    Palestinian and Muslim leaders and goals for their people;

·    Geographic and security considerations for all;

·    Hamas and the Gaza strip - insoluble for now; and

·    American evangelicals and their influence.

Ambassador Friedman's book persuasively explains the many reasons why in this massive world there MUST remain room for ONE JEWISH STATE.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: David Friedman served as the United States ambassador to Israel from 2017 to 2021. Under his leadership, the United States made unprecedented and historic diplomatic advances, including moving its Embassy to Jerusalem and recognizing Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Ambassador Friedman was also one of the architects of the Abraham Accords. For his efforts, he was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize and granted the National Security Medal. On numerous occasions, The Jerusalem Post has named Ambassador Friedman one of the 50 most-influential Jews in the world - he rose to number 2 in 2019 and number 1 in 2020. In 2021, The New York Times described him "as one of America’s most-influential envoys" and someone "who drove the radical overhaul of White House policy toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict." Ambassador Friedman is the bestselling author of Sledgehammer: How Breaking with the Past Brought Peace to the Middle East, and the executive producer and co-star, with former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, of Route 60: The Biblical Highway, a film about Judea and Samaria. In 2021, he launched the Friedman Center for Peace through Strength which has recently launched a project that bears the name of his book: One Jewish State.
