Americans for Intelligence Reform

Brad Johnson, President, and retired CIA Senior Officer and Chief of Staff. Insight into current events from an intelligence angle.

Domestic troubles distract US from China’s global aggression, and why we need to pay attention immediately.

Hong Kong, Taiwan, India – three places besieged by the Chinese. They’ve crushed the freedom of Hong Kong, are building up troops around northern India and have their eyes on ownership of Taiwan. Brad Johnson, retired CIA Chief of Station and President of Americans for Intelligence Reform, at least gives us two pieces of good news: we have carriers around Taiwan flexing muscle and the FBI has caught 50+ university professors spying for the Chinese. He outlines how the Democrat Party maintains disorder in the States for their own self-interest, meanwhile allowing global crises a threat to us to go unnoticed to the American people and unaddressed by government.

it is June 17th and I’m here with Brad
00:02
Johnson retired CIA chief of station to
00:06
discuss well China we all know about
00:10
kovat and China in the news but there is
00:13
events taking place there’s on the
00:14
border of India for one thing we’re
00:17
significant numbers of people are being
00:18
killed what do you know what’s going on
00:20
with China it’s an interesting phase and
00:23
something that we’ve we’ve touched on
00:25
before but I want to point out kind of
00:27
the ripple effect of what we’re seeing
00:29
and this is one of the things where you
00:32
can see this this okay I always refer to
00:37
Democrats in a certain way the liberals
00:39
particularly that are that are this have
00:42
this extreme leftist few within the
00:44
Democratic Party and I refer to three
00:47
words that we use for the concept of
00:50
morality and there’s moral and there’s
00:53
immoral meaning one who is acts morally
00:57
one who does not act morally and then
00:58
there’s a third one called a moral and
01:00
that’s one that just acts in their own
01:02
self-interest at all times and that’s
01:04
the word I used to define Democrats and
01:06
this is just another one of those
01:07
instances with what we see going on with
01:09
China of what their behavior can do it’s
01:13
that ripple effect that what we see the
01:15
Democrats have thrown all sense and
01:18
morality out the window and are doing
01:20
and saying whatever they can do
01:22
they are like lying cheating stealing in
01:25
order to try and attack president Trump
01:27
and the way that we’ve seen all of this
01:28
with the unfortunate death of George
01:31
Floyd blown out of all proportion or
01:34
propriety you know there was a time once
01:36
when people would wait to see the
01:39
outcome of the case for example this
01:41
policeman if he’s convicted of murder
01:43
that no one did anything if he was let
01:46
go free where it looked co-op then you’d
01:48
see riots that that’s the way it used to
01:50
be and traditionally was and you know if
01:52
anything at least that makes sense but
01:54
to have riots you know and the policeman
01:56
is being charged and you know all
01:58
government federal and state and local
02:00
have all done what they can do and are
02:02
supposed to do under the circumstances
02:04
so what are you rioting about precisely
02:06
when the system is working the way it’s
02:09
supposed to and you know
02:12
black lives matter well where’s black
02:14
lives matter when it comes to the 40 or
02:16
50 or 60 blacks that are killed and you
02:19
know all of the major cities like
02:21
Chicago on a weekend you know where are
02:23
they for all that and they’re Noah so at
02:26
any rate this this this pandemonium that
02:29
has been created and pushed by the left
02:33
including what we see out in saddle in
02:35
Seattle with the chop Chad’s own and the
02:38
way that and Tifa and black lives matter
02:41
are being supported and pushed and
02:43
protected by the media by the Democratic
02:46
Party that has ripple effects and what’s
02:48
happened is it’s taken the United States
02:50
attention away from the world and made
02:54
it more domestic and what happens the
02:56
bad guys of the world are free to act
02:58
and that’s the update I want to give on
03:00
China the things that we’re seeing
03:02
they’ve become very aggressive on the
03:04
border with India and it’s over the kind
03:07
of northern Kashmir a small zone up
03:09
there where they’ve had at least three
03:12
pretty big skirmishes where 60 some-odd
03:15
people have been killed more on the
03:18
Chinese side than on the Indian side
03:20
because the Chinese were the ones
03:21
attacking and if you’re defending of
03:23
course you’re in a better position not
03:25
to be killed and if you’re a you know
03:27
assaulting a position you’re more likely
03:29
and that’s why we’ve seen those those
03:31
casualties the way they are but they’ve
03:33
become very aggressive once again in
03:35
India because the Democrats have the
03:37
United States wrapped around the axle
03:39
domestically over these lies and and and
03:42
political issues that they’re trying to
03:44
manipulate to their own advantage
03:46
now that is dangerous the Chinese and
03:51
the Indians had a war and I mean some
03:54
ways back now like 1962 something along
03:58
those lines where it was actual like big
04:00
war where a lot of troops were brought
04:03
in but this stuff is starting to build
04:05
along that border area again now and
04:07
both the Indians and Chinese are
04:08
starting to bring in more and more and
04:10
more on building up troops in that area
04:12
because of Chinese aggression now that
04:15
is carrying out in a lot of other ways
04:18
too and what we’ve seen is in Hong Kong
04:22
for example which was supposed to be a
04:23
free city under the
04:25
when it was essentially turned over from
04:27
British as a British protectorate to the
04:29
Chinese it was supposed to be a free
04:31
city open and able to operate how they
04:33
wanted and the Chinese have basically
04:35
they’ve crossed Hong Kong it’s over
04:37
there
04:37
that’s now a part of Communist China and
04:40
there’s very little else that can be
04:41
done about it the people don’t want that
04:44
so you know they were having all those
04:46
riots but when Cove it took place the
04:48
Chinese took advantage of that under the
04:50
old left-wing adage never let a good
04:52
crisis go to waste they moved in and
04:54
just grabbed up everybody they arrested
04:55
them all some of those people are going
04:58
to end up as we find out about this
04:59
later in the future they’re going to
05:02
have ended up dead supposedly by KO vid
05:05
whatever any rate it’s going to be a
05:07
preponderance of people who who don’t
05:09
make it who are in the opposition in
05:12
Hong Kong they of course they’re not
05:14
making any noise we’re not seeing any
05:15
rights there’s a good reason why we’ve
05:17
also now seen a lot of sabre-rattling
05:20
with Taiwan and the Chinese have always
05:23
been very clear that they plan to take
05:25
back Taiwan and it’s by force if
05:28
necessary that’s always been what
05:30
they’ve said from the very beginning now
05:32
we’ve seen three flights out of mainland
05:34
China go over Taiwan that are
05:36
intercepted in the air they’re becoming
05:38
very aggressive that way we had an
05:40
American flight that went over Taiwan a
05:44
u.s. jet flew over Taiwan and then on
05:47
back to I think it was a ship landing
05:49
I’m not sure but the flight plan
05:51
included flying over Taiwanese airspace
05:54
which of course they cleared with Taiwan
05:56
what they did not do was get prior
05:58
permission or clearance from China China
06:01
claims Taiwan as part of Communist China
06:05
and therefore requires that the United
06:08
States seek their permission first which
06:10
they see this is highly provocative and
06:13
so they’re very aggressive on that now
06:15
to counter this the United States has
06:17
done something that has not happened for
06:19
a long time and that’s we’ve moved three
06:22
aircraft carrier task force into that
06:25
area and so they’re there now and that’s
06:29
a lot of firepower that has been brought
06:33
into that arena if you will
06:37
what that represents is that there is
06:40
recognition recognition by the baby
06:42
presumably the military the Pentagon and
06:44
the president sorry just to clarify the
06:47
Chinese is that a full carrier groups
06:49
like three carrier groups hmm okay so
06:54
yeah that’s a significant amount of I
06:56
mean that’s it that’s the very very
06:58
significant for story please continue
07:00
yeah so you’ve I mean there’s pretty
07:03
much there’s no hard and fast rules to
07:06
this I don’t want to overstate it but
07:08
one carrier group in that area means I
07:12
would say pretty much nothing to then
07:14
starts to be you know that’s pretty
07:16
significant forces there and when you
07:19
get three that’s making a statement now
07:21
we put it that way start making a
07:25
statement that it no we’re willing to
07:29
put forces in that area that represent a
07:32
lot of kinetic energy if I can phrase it
07:35
that way you know this is a serious
07:37
fighting force when you get three
07:38
carrier groups together in that area so
07:41
I think this would not have taken place
07:44
now I don’t have access to anything
07:46
classified out of this so I don’t want
07:48
to misrepresent what I’m saying but this
07:50
is a very clear statement by the United
07:52
States and so right in that area
07:54
and I think it’s pretty clear that China
07:58
and their aggressive stance and what
08:01
they’re doing in Taiwan is part of the
08:03
reason and now there may be other
08:06
factors and they looked on it as a good
08:08
idea because we’ve also got North Korea
08:10
us you know rallying sabers and and
08:13
being very aggressive now with their
08:15
stance and talks about South Korea and
08:17
they are a hundred percent threatening
08:18
military you know attacks into South
08:21
Korea South Korean armies you know I
08:24
think bigger and strong well not bigger
08:26
people wise but more advanced as an army
08:29
that to face them but North Korea would
08:32
not do these things probably without
08:34
some sort of coordination with China so
08:36
China is is very aggressively worldwide
08:40
doing all of these things in Taiwan in
08:43
Hong Kong in India the things that
08:47
they’re doing in Africa and Europe
08:49
we they’re very very very aggressive in
08:52
these things and including in the
08:54
intelligence world we’ve just seen it’s
08:56
been out in the news lately something
08:58
I’ve been long talking about for
08:59
everyone for months is now starting to
09:02
hit the press which is of course the way
09:03
these things always are there always
09:05
months behind us and that is it now
09:07
there’s been over 50 professors at
09:11
universities and Institute’s basically
09:14
been either fire asked to leave because
09:17
they’re cooperating with Chinese
09:19
intelligence that’s a lot of people
09:21
spread across the universities you only
09:22
need one in each of the these
09:24
Institute’s are major universities for
09:26
the Chinese to have a window into
09:27
classified information that’s taking
09:29
place there so that’s this thing that
09:31
and that is not all of them that’s the
09:34
tip of the iceberg so that means that
09:36
Chinese right now as we’re sitting here
09:38
have hundreds of people in our
09:40
universities that are actively working
09:42
for Chinese intelligence and the change
09:45
Communist Party against the interest the
09:47
United States so the fact that the FBI
09:49
is making fabulous progress on this I’m
09:52
often a critic of the FBI for different
09:55
things and the agencies and CIA included
09:57
but this is one of those things where
09:59
they’ve got it right and they’re doing
10:00
their job and God bless them and keep up
10:02
the good work
10:03
it’s a a good program that they’re out
10:05
there putting together so China is is
10:08
absolutely sees this as an opportunity
10:10
and they’re aggressively moving as fast
10:12
as they can in every way that they can I
10:15
would say almost as an indicator of just
10:19
how active they are the corona or excuse
10:22
me the coated virus that Wuhan virus has
10:25
gotten out of control in Beijing and so
10:27
now supposedly they’ve really put down
10:29
the locks on the doors there and are
10:31
picking people up off the street and
10:33
taking him off to holding centres and
10:35
all these things so they’re really
10:36
cracking down in Beijing right now which
10:38
once again I’ll say is almost certainly
10:40
being used for political means as well I
10:44
wouldn’t be at all surprised to see some
10:46
people that they consider politically
10:47
unreliable died of Kove in nineteen you
10:51
know plus a bullet hole to the back of
10:52
the head sort of thing so the the
10:55
Chinese as I’ve said are really filling
10:57
their oats
10:58
they’ve got this ripple effect based on
11:00
what the Democrats and the
11:02
the left-wing media are doing here in
11:04
the United States bringing chains up to
11:07
do whatever they want and they will
11:09
smash and kill whoever it is to extend
11:11
their control and that’s and that’s what
11:13
we’re seeing them begin to do
11:15
they’ve already been people killed there
11:18
has already been people politically
11:19
crushed and this is at a a percentage of
11:24
the blame belongs on the shoulders of
11:27
the Liberal Democrats and liberal media
11:30
here in the United States you know when
11:33
you when you put it like that it feels
11:34
like maybe this some opportunism taking
11:37
place because of at least a perception
11:39
that the United States is you know in a
11:41
weaker position and it seems like you
11:43
ran is also a little more belligerent
11:45
than usual and Turkey I couldn’t agree
11:50
more
11:58
you
