1. What are the greatest policy concerns of the United States as President Trump prepares to meet with China's President Xi Jinping?
Answer: China has used the lever of its Treasury bond ownership to cause tremendous damage to Americans, including significant harms to the health of U.S. citizens and the ownership of their intellectual property. So, we need to counter this and do so decisively.
2. Can you speak further to China's actions with regard to causing harm to the health of American citizens?
Answer: Without going into detail, I will simply say that China has obtained extensive information regarding millions of Americans' foundational health. That transfer of critical data has been without the knowledge or consent of American citizens, and the results have been predictably disastrous.
3. Who within the United States government has been aware of these transfers?
Answer: The FBI has assisted in the transfers of that data, unfortunately.
4. Is it true in this case that, once again, we see the FBI acting in a manner that violates Americans' Constitutional rights in order to profiteer from their suffering?
Answer: Yes, it is. And there can be no question about this.
5. With regard to China's theft of Americans' intellectual property, how has this occurred?
Answer: Again, tragically, the vast majority of these crimes have occurred with the help of the FBI. The agency has sold high-value IP to China and then aggregated knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting which wrongfully implicates the victims of that theft.
6. Hasn't this conduct constituted Tom Lyons' specialty?
Answer: It has.
7. How can these violations be halted?
Answer: Illuminating the FBI's role in these IP crimes is critically important to stemming the tide. China should not be paying off individual FBI or CIA personnel, nor should Russia, in an effort to facilitate the transfer of critical innovation within the United States. Our tolerance for this conduct must be zero.
8. What is your view of the assertions that China continues to send Fentanyl, along with dangerous "designer drugs" into the United States through Mexico?
Answer: The FBI wrongfully involved my younger son in an "undercover operation" regarding this flow of narcotics. So, obviously, it's occurring. And, while Central and South American represent concerning conduits, our unregulated ports are an even larger vulnerability with regard to drugs from China.
9. How so?
Answer: Container ships from China and other points of origin around the world are not checked for their contents, and consequently our ports, which are not secure at this time, represent a major artery for drug trafficking which arrives from China without many intermediaries -- as well as for human trafficking, given that immigrants are literally arriving within container transports.
If there is a pressing need for the National Guard, America's ports starkly define it.
And this includes Californian ports, where the National Guard is certainly needed at this time, without further delay.
10. You don't think that Silicon Valley executives are aware of the problems with California ports?
Answer: No, it's not on their radar. There's no awareness of the size and scope of the problem in Silicon Valley, and no commercial capability to fix it.
11. What about China's aggression regarding natural resources worldwide?
Answer: This is an enormous issue, with China having made significant incursions into Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and other areas around the world. The Chinese would like to corner New Zealand's deposits of rare earths, and this needs to be actively prevented by the United States at this time. If we don't stop the Chinese in New Zealand, Chinese aggression there will be felt as a territorial presence in slightly less than ten years. So, we need to step up our requests for cooperation from New Zealand on an immediate basis, and Auckland needs to understand how critical this issue is for their nation's long term future.
In addition, we are seeing the Chinese engage in destructive deep sea mining initiatives, which the whole world has an interest in stopping. And the U.S. Navy has an important role to play in the illumination and obstruction of these phenomenally harmful operations.
12. What are other concerns for us with regard to China?
Answer: China has established a number of concealed "police stations" within Canada and the United States, utilizing the cover of ostensible cultural service organizations to cause harm to Chinese dissidents in North America. https://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/civil-rights-group-says-vancouver-has-at-least-one-secret-chinese-police-station Beyond this, of course, we can assume that the Chinese are using these organizations to facilitate the transfer of both intellectual property and health data belonging to Americans.
We don't need our own FBI and CIA personnel assisting these unwelcome "authorities" on our own soil.
13. What can we do to most effectively counter China's aggression on these and other fronts?
Answer: The root of our problem with China stems from our over-indebtedness. In the long term, we need to ensure that we don't make the same mistakes with regard to this issue. Deficits do matter, and that lever is compounded over time. A nation is most robust when it lays an economic foundation that disallows them.
So, if a nation were starting out with a new currency at a certain point, its leaders would want to ensure that balanced budgets were the requirement.
14. What about China's relationship to environmental concerns?
Answer: China's relationship to environmental concerns is imperial in nature. Culturally, there is much less respect for the natural world and the wildlife it supports than we manifest in the West.
China lies to its own people with regard to the current environmental crisis, and this is where we can, within several years, begin to distinguish ourselves as most worthy of a global leadership role regarding the stewardship of the Earth's environment.
The American people, when addressed by our military leaders regarding our climate realities, will accept a de-politicization of the climate issue, and further, they will rapidly adapt when asked to do so.
15. Why haven't Americans adapted as of yet?
Answer: You know, we haven't asked them in the right way.
But we are capable of doing so, and this is the courage and integrity I want to see in our choice to involve our military leadership in discussing this issue with the public within a few years' time.
16. Why is it critical that the United States do so?
Answer: China and Russia are ill-prepared to lead the world in global concerns precisely because both of these countries long ago abandoned any interest in the human rights of their own people. The environment is a tool to them, and one to be exploited for the aggregation of power in the hands of very few.
The United States has the opportunity to uphold the environment as a gift, and one that must be cherished and stewarded for the sake of humanity, and the wildlife we uphold and protect.
This latter vision will lead to lasting peace and prosperity, whereas totalitarian approaches to the environment will inevitably lead to a wasteland.
Ultimately, we will need to engage the public in a vision of our shared future. Any country that fails to do that is unqualified to lead.
17. In the meantime, how do we effectively negotiate our concerns with China?
Answer: China is going to engage in increasing territorial aggression and heightening damage to the world environment over time, and its leaders are going to be lying to us regarding every single one of its objectives. So, this needs to be understood.
Even so, we need to demand that China stop aggregating the health information of American citizens and cease its theft (even through nominal and illegal "purchases") of Americans' intellectual property.
Further, there are areas, such as New Zealand, where we can actually prevent territorial aggression by acting with foresight.
The distinct advantages we have over China relate to our unshakeable commitment to the sovereignty of our nation and the long term self-determination of our people.
Our character and integrity have the potential to save us in the long term, because leaders who inspire the trust of their people will prevail over long term totalitarian governments based on fear and repression.
We need to be deft in conveying to China that we simply cannot comply with its leaders' most abusive demands because the American public is writing about these issues openly, and is becoming increasingly aware of the damage that China's initiatives have wrought.
So, there are boundaries that are arising because of the active and principled engagement of the American public, and our leaders can lean on these guardrails when they need to do so.
18. Can the FBI and the CIA be directed to stop assisting the Chinese in the implementation of programs that run counter to the United States' national interest?
Answer: Decisively. Yes.
19. Will you speak further with regard to countering Chinese aggression against American interests in the future?
Answer: I will address these concerns, yes.
20. Thank you for sharing your insights with us this afternoon.
Answer: You are quite welcome.
