“The Most Serious Threat to the U.S. Since 1776 “

With LT. GEN. JERRY BOYKIN, CHRISTOPHER WHITON, AND CHRIS HOLTON

With the 2012 Presidential election coming up next November, Americans are left wondering which Republican candidate will step up and vie for the seat of Commander-in-chief.  In a recent straw poll conducted in Iowa last weekend, it seems that Americans want to elect a principal, capable leader who will protect their national security. Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota’s 6^th district, who garnered the most votes in this poll, seems to be the solution to not only reducing the deficit but also keeping Americans safe. Frank introduces the show with his thoughts on Rep. Bachmann and the other Republican candidates, as well as how the next leader of the Free World needs to implement the time tested philosophy of “peace through strength.”

 

 

Next, Lieutenant General and ordained minister, Jerry Boykin joins Secure Freedom Radio to talk about the church’s role in resisting Shariah law, or what he deems the “most serious threat to the United States since 1776.” He also discusses the emergence of a new religious movement in America called Chrislam, which combines Islamic and Christian practices. Boykin comments on how this new movement is merely a tool to appease the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamist extremists in America who claim religious freedom under the Constitution.

Former State Department official and principal at DC International Advisory LLC, Christian Whiton examines the latest reports that Pakistan allowed Chinese journalists to take pictures of the fallen helicopter, including its stealth technology, in Afghanistan. He surveys the implications that a close Pakistan-China relationship will have for our military mission in Afghanistan and our influence in the region. This relationship not only strengthens one of America’s most powerful enemies, but also weakens the ties with one of America’s most dangerous allies.

Christopher Holton of the Center for Security Policy concludes today’s show by enlightening us about what he refers to as the “symbolic” sanctions placed on Syria. According to Holton, in 2004, 2006, and 2008 President Bush signed orders to cut off all trade to Syria. Thus, he argues that further sanctions, such as freezing al-Assad’s foreign assets are more of a symbolic gesture than a meaningful action.  He also discusses with Frank how revenues gathered from the Law of the Sea Treaty might benefit nations such as Cuba and Syria.

From Today’s Show Prep:

US Directly Warns Syria of Further Sanctions

The US Ambassador to Syria warned this week that the US might put more sanctions on Syria for the leadership’s foul actions. Although President Bush cut off trade to Syria in 2004, these sanctions would be a symbolic measure of the US’s disapproval. China and Russia, as close trade partners to Syria, refused to allow any further and more meaningful sanctions to be placed on Syria.

Pakistan Likely Granted China Access to Downed US Helicopter

Pakistan, one of the US’s closest allies in the Middle East, recently granted China access to the wreckage of the downed US helicopter in Afghanistan. This access allowed the Chinese not only to examine American stealth technology, but also fed China’s appetite for US technology. It was unexpected that one of our allies would conduct such “bad behavior.”
