Trevor Loudon Speaks to Take Back America
Loudon names several steps to save America

Trevor Loudon spoke to about 50 members and guests of Take Back America the evening of March 2nd in a barn near Damascus, OR. Elected officials and candidates for office attending included two for Clackamas County Commissioner positions, John for CD5, Dan for HD 40, Angela Plowhead for CD6, Jo Rae Perkins for US Senate and sitting State Senator Dennis Linthicum and his wife. ORP co-chair on election integrity Don Bowers was one of several hosts.

Trevor has been what some would call a freedom fighter for almost 30 years. Even though he hails from New Zealand, he is a household name among Oregon conservatives having crisscrossed the state dozens of times in the last decade. His focus on this particular lecture was the depth of Chinese infiltration into U.S. business and institutions. China has 5000 active agents working to influence diverse areas of American life.

John Conyers, deceased representative from Michigan was chair of the House Judiciary Committee for decades. He has been replaced by Jerry Nadler (D-New York). Both being card carrying member of Democratic Socialists of America and heavily financed by Chinese interests. Corruption in our Department of Justice and our FBI was lain bare for all to see during the Trump presidency. Trevor gave us the historical perspective to understand why. He drove home the point that once a department is corrupted it becomes impossible for a member of congress to challenge that condition without facing severe and often illegal punishment from those they challenge. The same fear guides the media in their coverage of the news and it doesn’t stop with the Department of Justice.

Loudon makes statements few dare make and some dare not trust. He calculates that 25% of both the US Senate and US House of Representative are compromised. Some, like Eric Swalwell (D-California) have been caught literally sleeping with the enemy. Swalwell had a long affair with a Chinese agent and suffered no consequences from it. He still serves on sensitive committees with access to our most classified information. Unfortunately, he is just one of over a hundred that meet that description.

Senator Feinstein (D-California) brought Communists to Stanford University 30 years ago. Biden Administration advisor and CPUSA member Judith LeBlanc successfully promoted former Representative Deb Haaland (D-New Mexico) to Interior Secretary. Her tenure has seen a rapid decrease of mining, extraction, harvesting and grazing from BLM lands that comprise 20% of the U.S. The result has been rapid inflation for consumers and shortages that threaten national defense.

A D V E R T I S E M E N T

Trevor recites a little more history telling us The Council for a Livable World was started by Al Gore Sr. Armand Hammer, son of Julius, a co-founder of CPUSA in 1921 was a member while being a Russian agent. They financed and elected hundreds to high office cementing footholds for collectivists going back several decades. Trump deregulations and tax cuts gave us the best economy we’ve ever seen and showed the world this country’s unlimited potential. His sanctions and new posture toward China were in no small part contributing factors. Trevor is sure the COVID pandemic was economic retaliation by China. We saw how Fauci facilitated the devastating shutdowns and now know of Fauci ties to China. We saw Australia enforce house arrest on it’s citizens and Kiwi Loudon understands China’s economic control over his former neighbor which he describes as that small island just NW of New Zealand.

The Chinese Progressive Association controls San Francisco politics which includes Nancy Pelosi and Gavin Newsome. They influence and aid Silicon Valley tech giants. Chinese networks targeted battleground states in the last election with fraud, disenfranchisement of GOP voters, minority and felon registration. The truth about illicit activity tipping those election results is coming out at an agonizingly slow rate.

Loudon ends on an optimistic note by naming several steps to save America. They include: 1. Only let GOP voters vote in GOP primaries. Beware of Dems that register GOP to affect primaries. 2. Individual should act independently of the GOP party machine. Don’t let RINO’s control you. 3.Don’t do businesses with Democrats. Do business with local GOP members and conservatives. 4. Call out Wall St. for things like putting military pensions into financing Chinese business. 5. Advocate for the 10th amendment. Understand states are wrongly controlled by Federal grants. 6. Abolish the Department of Education, The Bureau of Land Management, etc.

He had other ideas not recorded here. Trevor has been a USA watcher long enough to predict that freedom will win. The effort will be by multitudes of small groups comprised of persons possessing free will and positive spirit. History says we can expect miracles from our best and maximum effort.
