    Dr. Ian Oxnevad - China’s Subversive Role in Education and California Energy Policy

    Dr. Ian Oxnevad, senior fellow at the National Association of Scholars, details how China treats American universities as strategic terrain for accessing emerging technologies, shaping policy, and influencing future regulators. He describes the California–China Climate Institute—a joint UC Berkeley–Tsinghua effort whose research, some of it possibly linked to Chinese intelligence, helped produce net-zero rules that expand the market for Chinese alternative-energy products while Chinese nationals worked inside California’s regulatory system. Oxnevad notes that these rules spread to other states, force businesses nationwide to adapt, and amount to an unauthorized climate treaty; he also covers related cases such as Confucius Institute-linked research at Alfred University and a Georgia Tech partnership with a sanctioned Chinese institution on advanced semiconductors. He concludes that education is a national-security asset that must be defended by placing more people who prioritize American interests inside the classroom. World War III: Status Update brings together leading experts, Gordon Chang, Capt. James Fanell, USN (Ret.), Frank Gaffney, Dr Bradley Thayer, Dr Ian Oxnevad,  Trevor Loudon, Mark Krikorian and Alex Newman to examine these different fronts: where we stand, how they intersect, and what America must do to prevail.

    Dr Bradley Thayer - Mao vs. Madison: Saving America and the West

    American Freedom Alliance Fellow Dr. Bradley Thayer outlines why communism—illegitimate, hyper-aggressive, and responsible for more than 100 million deaths—remains the greatest challenge the United States has ever faced, waged both by the Chinese Communist Party abroad and by networks inside the country. He identifies the antidote in what he calls the American trinity: the American spirit of self-identification as Americans, the ideology of political liberalism that treats people as individuals endowed with God-given rights, and the unique inheritance of Western civilization from Athens, Rome, and Jerusalem onward. Bradley warns that mass migration, capture of the ideas and culture industries, and funding from figures such as Neville Roy Singham function as political-warfare tools aimed at stripping that identity. He concludes that restoring American identity and Western civilization is itself a national-security requirement, because a strong sense of who Americans are weakens communism while its absence strengthens it.

    Mark Krikorian - An Occupied Nation: Demographic Warfare

    Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, outlines why mass immigration is the central self-inflicted vulnerability in the current global conflict: without a strong shared national identity, or asabiyyah, a country cannot define or defend its interests. He reviews America’s historical success at expanding the “circle of we” through reduced inflows and active assimilation, then details why today’s conditions differ—cheap travel and communications that keep emotional ties elsewhere, multicultural incentives that reward separation, a largely post-American leadership class, and large inflows from culturally distant societies that carry resentments. Mark notes that immigration levels are entirely discretionary, points to the recent drop in illegal crossings as proof control is possible, and calls for ending mass immigration through zero-based budgeting that prioritizes only the spouses and minor children of citizens, a handful of exceptional skilled workers, and tightly limited humanitarian admissions World War III: Status Update brings together leading experts, Gordon Chang, Capt.

    Trevor Loudon - The Enemies Within: Institutional Infiltration

    AFA Fellow Trevor Loudon outlines how a small Marxist-Leninist core has long shaped American policy by infiltrating and steering the Democratic Party through unions and allied groups. Drawing on the New Zealand example—where Moscow-trained communists flipped Labour Party policy and broke the ANZUS alliance in six months—he shows the same method at work in the United States via Democratic Socialists of America. Trevor traces DSA’s role in writing Great Society welfare programs, pushing socialized healthcare designed to fail into single-payer, reversing the AFL-CIO’s opposition to illegal immigration after taking control of the federation in 1994, and advancing amnesty as a path to a permanent electoral majority. He also covers DSA-linked efforts against the Boy Scouts, California textbooks, the Green New Deal, and campaigns targeting AI data centers, arguing that external threats cannot be met until these internal networks are addressed.

    Capt. James Fanell, USN (Ret.) - Kinetic War: Should We Worry?

    Capt. James Fanell, USN (Ret.), details how the Chinese Communist Party has spent more than 25 years preparing for kinetic conflict while expanding globally. Drawing on his Navy intelligence experience, he describes China’s sustained military spending above GDP growth, a shipbuilding capacity vastly larger than America’s, and the transformation of the PLA Navy from a coastal force into one operating in the Gulf of Aden, the Indian Ocean, the Mediterranean, and beyond the second island chain. James covers the militarization of artificial islands in the South China Sea, the rapid introduction of aircraft carriers (including one with electromagnetic catapults), expanded Marine and amphibious capabilities, anti-ship ballistic missiles tested against moving targets, and a nuclear breakout marked by new ICBM silos and demonstrated long-range launches. He notes the continuity of the CCP’s “Great Rejuvenation” goal through 2049 and warns that the window for deterrence is narrowing.

    Alex Newman - Defending Against the Looming Polycrisis

    In the keynote from WWIII: Status Update, Alex Newman outlines how the world is already in a polycrisis—multiple overlapping political, economic, environmental, and geopolitical shocks deliberately merged to create chaos and demand for global solutions. Drawing on Soviet defectors, UN documents, and historical precedents, he describes an alliance of globalists, communists, and jihadists seeking a second “October revolution” that ends the United States as both a nation and an ideal. Alex details UN preparations through the Summit of the Future and Pact for the Future, including an Emergency Platform that would give the Secretary-General and UN agencies primary decision-making power during crises (pandemics, cyber events, climate, or others). He traces the recurring pattern of manufacturing or exploiting crises to expand government and erode sovereignty—from the Federal Reserve and Great Depression to world wars, mass migration, COVID, and digital-ID pushes—and warns that the same playbook is being telegraphed for future shocks.

    Frank Gaffney - The Red-Green Axis: World War III on the Home Front

    Frank Gaffney examines the “red-green” alliance operating inside the United States, linking Sharia supremacists (using the Muslim Brotherhood as shorthand) with communist and Democratic Socialist networks. He details their shared short-term goal of undermining the Constitution and American government through information operations, political infiltration, censorship, disciplined voting blocs, and demographic growth via high birth rates and immigration facilitated by sanctuary policies and welfare rules. Frank highlights the use of mosques and Islamic centers as organizational infrastructure—including as polling places—and points to figures such as Nihad Awad and projects like Epic City. He argues that Sharia is a political-legal system rather than a protected religion, cites the historical model of Muhammad, and outlines practical responses including a Sharia-Free Pledge for candidates, free micro-documentaries, and a call for Texas and Florida to investigate mosques following their terrorist designations of the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR.

    Gordon Chang - World War III: China’s Proxy Conflicts

    Gordon Chang opens our conference with the warning that the world has moved from relative calm into an era of spreading conflict with global stakes, driven by Chinese and Russian involvement across multiple theaters. Xi Jinping is a revolutionary pursuing total dominance—reviving imperial notions of ruling “all under heaven” and drawing on Maoist tactics of encircling the core (the West) from the periphery while deliberately fostering chaos. Gordon details China’s proxy efforts in Ukraine, the Iran-Israel conflict, and North Africa; its material, technical, and satellite support for Iran (including targeting data linked to American deaths); nuclear technology proliferation through intermediaries; and cooperation among the CRINKs. He contends that U.S. diplomacy has repeatedly deferred real costs on Beijing, that America retains decisive leverage through markets and technology, and that political will—not mere capability—will determine the outcome.  World War III: Status Update brings together leading experts, Gordon Chang, Capt.
