World War III, the Early Years – Allentown Opening Remarks
The following was adapted from the opening remarks delivered by Karen Siegemund at AFA’s World War III conference in Allentown, PA, on October 19th.
If a tree falls in the woods and there’s nobody to hear it, does it make a sound?
Apologies to the men here, but there’s an analogous query that’s gone around for some years now– if a man says something and there’s no woman around to hear it, is he still wrong?
Along the same lines, I pose this: if you’re in a War and nobody acknowledges it, can you still lose?
Of course, the answer at least to the first and last, is YES. Obviously. As to the 2nd one, I’m staying out of that!
I’m Dr. Karen Siegemund, the president of the American freedom Alliance, the host of this conference, and I want to welcome you to our final stop on our World War III Conference Road Show!
We’ll be covering not only the FACT that we’re in WORLD WAR III, but also how, despite it’s not being acknowledged, we have been losing it. We note, of course, that we’re still in the EARLY YEARS and our aim in bringing this crucial information across the country is to ensure that it never gets to the MIDDLE or LATE years, or even that it’s over. And if you’re here, you’re part of this same mission, so thank you for joining us today.
And out of recognition that there are many here and across the country so involved in this same effort that they couldn’t be here, we are for the first time LIVESTREAMING the conference!
So how did it come to pass that we’re in Allentown, Pennsylvania?
AFA is based in Los Angeles, and we host at least one, often two, major conferences a year. And last year we hosted a blockbuster event, a two-day powerhouse of an event, called World War III: The Early Years.
Several of our speakers here today also spoke at that event.
And it was deemed SO important, with such a wealth of crucial information, that we felt it imperative that we take it on the road.
We gave sort of a trial run at CPAC – we squished into 2 hours what we had done in two days and POW was it something!
So successful that we have actually turned it into a road show! We were in Atlanta in May, we were in Charlotte in June, twos month ago we were in Scottsdale Arizona, last month in Milwaukee, and we left the best for last, this most important of all the battleground states, in the most battleground of cities, Allentown Pennsylvania!
Let me just say:
In a perfect world, we’d have a few hundred people here. No – a few THOUSAND!
But hey, the fact is, in a perfect world, we wouldn’t even NEED such a conference as this!
In a perfect world, our universities, our media, our elected (and not-necessarily elected!) representatives would not only KNOW details of the threats we’re going to outline here, but in a perfect world, they’d be on our side, they’d be on the side of AMERICA and the AMERICAN PEOPLE and wanting AMERICA to live up to and support the premises of our founding.
In a perfect world, our president – and Vice President – would want to keep AMERICA and AMERICANS safe, would want our economy to thrive, and our constitution to be upheld.
But we all know, it’s not a perfect world.
In fact, to the point of losing a war even if it’s not acknowledged, it’s even worse than that, isn’t it? When our own elected officials aren’t just sloughing it off but in fact are PLAYING FOR THE OTHER SIDE, it’s breathtaking. It’s sickening. Can we even say, treasonous?
Over the years of hosting events, I’ve learned two things:
I’ve learned that the people who are supposed to be here, are in fact here. And that, my friends, is you!
And I also know this.
The real point, is that the content that our expert speakers will provide will be shared far beyond the people in this room.
Essentially, you’re our live studio audience and get to experience and interact with the speakers, and hopefully you’re envigorated and energized by them, and by the event itself.
You are exactly who is supposed to be here – You all want to be HERE, talking about – WORLD WAR III – the Early Years
Because you KNOW things are bad, you KNOW things are dire, you KNOW that we are in perilous times, and you want to know MORE about it, to be among others just as concerned – a community, really.
So, to the topic of the conference.
World War III – the Early Years
When we first started talking about this conference, we wanted to build on the previous one, the one on Globalist Puppetmasters that we had done in 2022–
We wanted to bring in the threat of the Chinese Communist Party, how it is affecting global geo-politics, as well as its ties to those very Globalists we’d talked about the previous time.
As we were developing the conference, the global chess board was shifting, constantly shifting, and we felt very much like we were right “on target” as it were.
At the same time, I was an avid participant in the Committee on the Present Danger: China, of which Brian Kennedy is the Chair, and Frank Gaffney is Vice-Chair, and I was becoming increasingly aware of the threat, and of the incredible number of facets of this threat.
And XI and the CCP’s commitment to “Unrestricted Warfare,” that is, every means of conducting war up to and including violence is advocated as a legitimate means to be used to conquer the enemy.
And, to them, who is that enemy?
I would contend that the enemy that they aim to conquer is freedom, is independent thought, is that set of values that contribute to man’s greatest flourishings and prosperity. That enemy is Western Civilization and the Judeo-Christian values that underpin it.
And where are those values, that prosperity, that independence, most prominent? Right here, in these great United states of America.
So to anyone bent on global rule, global totalitarianism, global tyranny, the US is the ultimate prize. And of course the ultimate impediment.
So I was tossing around the idea of the conference with Steve Bannon – all the threats, all the hazards, all the fronts we were facing. And I said, I can’t quite hit on a title… and he said, WORLD WAR III: THE EARLY YEARS – so here we are.
And he had participated in each one of these, and has provided counsel every step of the way. Up until when he became a political prisoner.
I’ll get back to that later.
Let me offer this:
I’d like you to Consider:
The Indictment and countless trials of President Trump and the other various means of political warfare aimed to silence and sideline him
The imprisonment of Peter Navarro, the persecution of John Eastman, who had spoken at two prior WW3 conferences
The IMPRISONMENT of Steve Bannon!
COVID-19
DEI mandated throughout the Public and Private Sectors and permeating our world in every corner in the most destructive and dangerous ways.
The undermining of our election process
Tik-Tok
The WHO Treaty that seeks to supersede sovereignty and elected governance
The UN’s current attempt to map out and control our future
15-Minute Cities
Open Borders
“Green” Energy Policies that Diminish Quality of Life and Create Vulnerability
—— I could go on, but I think that paints the picture
Censorship and the War of Free Speech
The War on Law Enforcement
Proliferation of Fentanyl
Lockdowns
Mutilation of Children
Mandating Injurious “Vaccines” propagandized as “safe and effective”
Subversion of Parental Rights
Demonizing and Destabilizing and now the horrific attacks on Israel with the attendant and increasingly violent anti-Semitism -the pogrom that just occurred in Los Angeles!
The War on our Men, our Women and our Children – and our families
Drag Queen Story Hour for Children – and now pervading the Olympics?
Big Tech
Weaponizing of our Government Institutions
Critical Race Theory (CRT)
China-Russia Alliance
De-Dollaring the World Economy
Big Pharma
Joe Biden in the White House
What do all of these seemingly disparate things have in common?
They all, each and every one, are part of World War III
World War III includes the entire range of attacks leveled against us, against America, against Western Civilization, against the way of life that we treasure.
And the role of Xi and the CCP can NOT be underestimated, as Frank Gaffney will explain.
As we have learned over the years, it’s all too possible to actually lose what we have without a shot being fired.
“The greatest victory is that which requires no battle” wrote Sun Tsu in The Art of War. The entire book, Unrestricted Warfare: China’s Master Plan to Destroy America by two Colonels in the People’s Army of addresses exactly this issue: how to wage and win war in ways that include but are not limited to violent conflict. Subduing the enemy without a fight… that’s exactly where we are.
World War III encompasses ALL of this – and more. The external enemies, and how they have penetrated our government and other institutions, are all part of the entire range of threats we’ve been facing. From the macro level on the global stage, to the micro level relating to our own health freedom and biological warfare, to our very minds, and everything in between, these are part of the War waged against us.
That’s the war that’s happening, even without our acknowledging it. That’s the war we can be LOSING.
We have brought together an A-Team of experts on all these issues. The analysis they bring and the solutions they propose are all crucial, existentially crucial, for the War we’re in today.
And let’s be clear: Every decision made by the current president is playing on the side of those who seek to destroy us. And you can be sure: this isn’t stupidity, or ignorance. It’s not done with blindness to the obvious consequences. It’s part of the war on us, and it’s only the latest bit of it.
As always, our speakers are absolute top-echelon experts in these fields. Exceptional in every way, dedicated to the TRUTH, to DEEP RESEARCH, to wanting to UNDERSTAND, so that we can do what we can to maintain freedoms rather than fall prey to those who seek a global totalitarian state.
We will be covering the big picture: The globalists’ war on freedom; the extent to which China is complicit in the various aspects of WW3 (spoiler alert: DEEPLY COMPLICIT!) And we will be drilling down into a few aspects of WW3 that are more specific: the infiltration of our government and other institutions by those who seek to take us down, literally the enemies within; the consequences of our open borders; the entanglement of the CCP with our businesses, and how to decouple them; the efforts of various globalist entities to take down that greatest impediment to their goals, namely us, and their connection to the CCP; China in the Arctic; and the space race, a whole new front of World War III.
Truly, this array of speakers is the best of the best, and no matter how much or how little you already know about this topic, you will come away empowered.
I want to make two points:
First, all those speaking, the entire focus, is our best assessment of the nature of threats on this country, on our freedoms and our way of life. This is not partisan. This is an issue of national security, of preservation of what makes America the exceptional nation it is, and as I cited in the beginning, the iconic, most quintessential exemplar of a nation that upholds since its inception the ideas and ideals, the philosophies and policies that lead to the greatest prosperity, flourishing and blossoming of individuals that the world has ever seen. That this might be seen as partisan is kind of horrific, if you think about it. Who in his or her right mind could be against prosperity, flourishing, and – yes, I am going to say it – the JOY that comes with being the best we can be as individuals and as a society! WHO can be against that?
So this is not partisan. This is our best assessment of the threats, and of the best way forward. We are not about politics, we are about policies; we are about truth and doing all we can to get the BEST INFORMATION out into the FLOOD of misinformation, lies, faux-narratives that is fed us by the media and others. ONLy with the best information can a self-governing people do right by the responsibility that we hold in our hands. And that is our intention: to get THAT information to YOU, and to EMPOWER you to share it to those who also will share it. And as an aside, the opinions spoken here today are those of the individual speakers, and do not necessarily represent the position of the American Freedom Alliance.
The second point is this:
National sovereignty is the bulwark against globalism, and we MUST stand in defense of the sovereignty of this great nation. The United States has ALWAYS been at the forefront of the supremacy of the PEOPLE – our government is OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE. WE the people. Our elected officials SERVE THE PEOPLE. This was UNPRECEDENTED and goodness, has it slipped away!
World War III is, in the end, a complete CRUSHING of that idea, the idea that THE PEOPLE should have a voice, a say, in their governance, let alone everything else.
I also want to make this crucial point. This is war. Hiding from it doesn’t make it go away. War has been waged against us, and we must, must fight. Because the opposite of war isn’t peace! It’s SURRENDER! And we must NEVER, not EVER surrender!
The MIRACLE of the founding of the United States, the genius of the constitution, the division of powers, the balancing of one branch of government against the others, the bicameral legislature, all of that was designed to KEEP the government in the HANDS of the PEOPLE and to temper humans’ natural tendencies, the will to power, in a structure that would limit it. In the same way, nations, with representative government, are the key to keeping global totalitarian overreach at bay. And as in all things, AMERICAN needs to be a leader in this regard.
Thank you all SO much for being here – hang onto your hats – you’re in for a powerful day.
