Xi Van Fleet

In 2022, I made a life-changing decision. I walked away from my job to do something I never imagined — write a book.

That book became Mao’s America: A Survivor’s Warning a.co/d/01jk7Q1i — about two Cultural Revolutions: one I survived in China 50 years ago, and one is unfolding in the United States.

But a bigger question remained: How did Communist China become America’s most powerful adversary?

That led me to write Made in America: The Hidden History of How the U.S. Enabled Communist China and Created Our Greatest Threat. a.co/d/0aCpDOfa

This isn’t just history.
It’s the missing story of how we got here.

We complain that our kids aren’t being taught civics. But when they are taught it, chances are they’re getting the PBS version.

PBS’s civics materials call our system a “constitutional democracy,” not a constitutional republic. They never explain where our rights come from, while quickly emphasizing the Founders’ failures to extend those rights to slaves, women, and Indigenous people.

The result? Civics education from PBS can be almost as bad as no civics education at all.

On this Veterans Day, let’s remember and honor those who served our country—and remember what they fought for.

They did not fight so that we could hand our country over to Communists and Islamists. To defend our nation and our Republic, we must stand and fight harder than ever before.

This is why democracy is flawed. When the brainwashed and stupid vote in droves, we all suffer.

The American experiment is the fruit of Christianity. When the Church and believers retreat, the tree will wither and die.
