Rep. Rohrabacher: The Movement to Quit the Communist Party Makes My Children Safer and the World Better

In an exclusive interview, Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) said the movement for quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), known as the “Tuidang” movement, will help achieve “a more peaceful world.” Because of it, “my children will be safer,” he said.

On June 8, Rohrabacher introduced into Congress H.Res.932, a resolution “Expressing solidarity with the Tuidang Movement whereby Chinese citizens renounce their ties to the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliates and calling for an immediate end to the campaign to persecute Falun Gong practitioners.”

Rohrabacher said his legislation seeks to inform the American people about these “moral soldiers, these moral giants in our day, who are fighting under a desperate situation and risking their lives.”

He also wants to “make sure that we notify the Tuidang movement and the Falun Gong people that they are not alone, that the American people stand with them.”

The Tuidang Movement started at the end of November 2004, after the Epoch Times published “The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party” on Nov. 19, 2004. That book describes the CCP as “an evil specter” and relates its history of mass killing and destroying China’s traditional morality and culture.

Ten days later, on Nov. 29, the first batch of Tuidang declarations, submitted by Chinese living outside China, first appeared at the Epoch Times’ website.

Since then every day there have been Tuidang declarations published at the Chinese-language Epoch Times’ special Tuidang section (http://tuidang.epochtimes.com), with numbers ranging from several hundred per day in the beginning to more than 100, 000 per day in recent years.

The Nature of Chaos and Anarchy as Tools of Communist Subversion

There are groups in the United States and other parts of the world that are actively trying to incite chaos, whether through the advocacy of anarchy or through subversive movements meant to destabilize societies.

We saw this clearly when Sen. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) on June 23 called on her supporters to harass members of the Trump administration, stating, “Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up, and if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”

We also see this in groups such as Antifa, which ironically advocate for both communism and anarchy—a system of absolute government control and a system of no government, respectively. Yet, if we understand the deeper goals of Communism and the original nature of anarchy, the union between the two systems makes sense.

Karl Marx established that communism would be done in stages, the first being socialism, or what Lenin described as “state capitalism,” in which the state had seized control of all means of production. The goal of socialist tyranny is to establish full communism, in which all previously existing forms of the hierarchy have been overthrown, all morals have been destroyed, and all traditional culture has been ruined. Communism is the state of desolation, and socialism is its tool for achieving this.

Anarchy, on the other hand, advocates for the creation of full communism without the stage of socialist tyranny. William Godwin (1756–1836), one of the founders of modern anarchy, explained that through personal anarchy, a person aimed to achieve “voluntary communism.”

Chinese Ship Spies on International Military Exercises

PENTAGON — The U.S. Navy says it is closely watching a Chinese spy ship in international waters near the U.S. state of Hawaii, as 25 nations participate the world’s largest international naval warfare exercises nearby.“They (China) are spying on international exercises,” a U.S. defense official told VOA on Friday.

A U.S. Navy Pacific Fleet spokesperson added that the Navy “expect(s) this ship will remain outside of U.S. territorial seas and not operate in a manner that disrupts the ongoing Rim of the Pacific maritime exercises.”

A Navy official said the Chinese surveillance ship arrived in the waters off Hawaii on Wednesday and is operating within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone. The official added that the Navy has taken “all precautions necessary to protect critical information.”

China was disinvited from participating in the Rim of the Pacific Exercise (RIMPAC) in May.

Pentagon spokesman Marine Lt. Col. Christopher Logan said recent Chinese military actions in the South China Sea destabilized the region and ran counter to international norms for freedom of navigation in international waters.

“China’s behavior is inconsistent with the principles and purposes of the RIMPAC exercise,” Logan said.

The Combined Forces Maritime Component Commander, Chilean Commodore Pablo Nieman, was disappointed with the presence of the Chinese spy ship.

“I hope and expect all seafarers to act professionally so we may continue to focus on the work at hand and building on the spirit of cooperation that gives purpose to this exercise,” he said.

Officials say the Chinese have spied on RIMPAC before.
