Background Briefing –Western Civilization Under Threat – Lessons from history as we face a new invisible enemy, COVID-19.

The world has faced multiple threats, but one in particular stands out in the Economic War Room®. It was World War II, as Nazi Germany moved to defeat Western Civilization with their expansion across Europe and the world. While some thought the enemy was impossible to defeat, Churchill took on the UK’s political establishment and was able to rally a shared vision amongst the citizenry with a victory over appeasement.

Today, America is facing a new invisible enemy with COVID-19. It will take strong leadership to protect western civilization, our civil liberties, and those that are most at risk. It is an economic war like we have never seen before.

Nick Adams joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room® to discuss what American exceptionalism really means, and why President Trump is the right man to help lead America to victory. This brief will also review highlights from Nick’s new book comparing Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President .

Your Mission: To continue the fight to protect Western Civilization and encourage the current administration to stand strong in defending our values.

“What I felt was, at this juncture in our history, no politician, no matter how articulate, no matter how presentable, no matter how well reasoned, was going to cut it. We needed a sledgehammer. We needed somebody that could really pierce the psyche of Americans. Everything that I knew about Donald Trump up until that moment made me feel that he was the best man for the job. No one can market as well as he can. No one can tap into the sensibilities of the average American like he could. And that’s why I thought he was the best man for the job.” –Nick Adams

Ep. 3-86 (OSINT) Open Sourced Intelligence Briefing. This includes quotes and summaries from Kevin Freeman and Nick Adams. Nick has done a great job of documenting the Churchill leadership style and comparing it to Donald Trump in his new book, Trump and Churchill; Defenders of Western Civilization.

Nick Adams is a three-time best-selling author, commentator and currently serves as a surrogate for the White House. Born and raised in Australia, Adams is a legal immigrant to America, receiving a rare Extraordinary Ability Green Card.

His book, Green Card Warrior, detailing his journey to America, received special distinction in March 2017, with President Donald Trump declaring it “a must read.” It was the first time in the history of the that a sitting President has ever endorsed a book. On August 25, 2017, President Trump took to Twitter to praise Adams’ previous book Retaking America, resulting in several news outlets declaring him “the President’s favorite author”.

His previous two books were endorsed by Chuck Norris, Mike , Sean , , , , , , Hugh Hewitt, National Review, The Heritage Foundation and the NRA. He has received several major honors, including Honorary Texan (Gov. Perry), Honorary Oklahoman (Gov. Fallin) and Kentucky Colonel (Gov. Bevin).

Adams has appeared on virtually every major television and radio program, and his work has been published in newspapers around the world. In the United States, he has spoken at conventions, corporate meetings, military bases, universities, high schools and churches, in 30 states. Abroad, he has given major addresses in England, Germany and South Korea.

“Donald Trump and Winston Churchill, two incredibly fine leaders, have got a lot in common. Now, you wouldn’t know it at first, If you just look at the two men, you’ll see a lot of differences. You’ll see that one’s really tall and one was really short. You’ll see that one loved to nap in the afternoon and one barely sleeps. You’ll see that one is a teetotaler and the other didn’t mind a drink or three. So there are lots of differences between them on the surface. But as soon as you start to drill down a little bit more, you find that Winston Churchill and Donald Trump are both very similar.” –Nick Adams

1. The commonalties between Churchill and Trump.

» Both leaders love their country and neither cared what other people think.

→ Both willing to take on constant criticism and not worry about being politically correct.

→ Both have moral courage.

» Neither connect with the political class.

» Both men could cut someone down in just a few words, and yet they were relatable.

» Some see both as wartime presidents (with COVID-19’s threat to Western Civilization).

» Trump calls COVID-19 the “invisible enemy,” which is very Churchillian (naming the enemy).

→ “And I think that is something that we missed in the eight years of . I mean, his administration refused to name radical Islam or Islamists for what they were doing. This president came out and said, this is the Chinese virus. This virus has begun in China.”

» Neither man receives the credit they deserve.

“Sir Winston Churchill, a lovable wordsmith, a man that could just cut somebody down with a few words. Great wit. Incredible orator. He’s somebody that I’ve always had an affinity for. A lot of the traits that he had, including the bad ones, I feel that I have an inclination toward as well. You know, Winston Churchill was somebody that was extreme in everything that he did. He probably ate too much, probably drank too much, and I think that’s what makes him so relatable.” –Nick Adams

2. Both Trump and Churchill were good at predicting what would happen and calling for action

According to Nick, the leadership styles are clear.

» In Churchill’s case it was Nazism and Hitler. Also Chamberlin’s appeasement.

» Trump has been saying for almost 30 years we need to bring manufacturing back. In the last three or four years he made it clear we can no longer rely on China. He ended up being right on every single possible level.

“If he had not been president for the last three years, we would be in a worse shape. When President Trump instituted tariffs and when he started jawboning against dependence on China, American corporations began to look for alternatives. And so they’ve at least had the conversation. What do we do if we can’t access China’s manufacturing goods and so forth? They at least had the conversation. So we are further along than we would have been for certain.” –Kevin Freeman

America’s economic future is at risk, but with leadership and the support of the American people we can win. We need to be weary of the domestic threats working against the economy. But we can win this fight!

page 4 what wartime leAdership looks like 3.87 CLEARED FOR RELEASE 05/14/2020 [Economic Battle PlanTM points: 87)

“I think it really has put us in an incredible place right now to recover. And I know recovery, as we speak right now, is kind of difficult to imagine because we’re all still shut behind closed doors. And many of us are not working. Many of us are not even employed right now because of this. But it’s important to remember that, like everything, this too will pass. When it does, I think because of the president’s initial waking us up about China combined with our anger, frustration, and disappointment with how the Chinese government behaved, I think that’s going to allow us to really rebound very quickly. More quickly than we might have. And it could possibly lead to us even becoming bigger, stronger, and better than what we were before.” –Nick Adams

NOTE: We do need to remember the lessons of Churchill. He was voted out of office after the war ended. That was a mistake for the British Empire as they lost traction until Margaret Thatcher came into power.

3. Trump and Churchill were good at listening to the experts around them and knowing when to go on their own.

“One of the things with leadership is being a good leader. There are lots of different skills that you need. One is knowing when to follow the experts around you. And one is knowing when to go it alone. And in modern history, I have never seen two men like Churchill and Trump have that instinct so down pat. Both of them know when to rely on the advice of those around them.” –Nick Adams

4. Both Churchill and Trump see America as exceptional:

» Churchill was not American, but he saw its exceptionalism!

“There are lots of immigrants that have come to the United States of America that understand American exceptionalism. Just like with everything, until you know something else or unless you know something else, you’re often not going to realize just how wonderful something is. And I think that’s what that’s what Churchill saw. That’s what I saw. That’s what people like and Arnold Schwarzenegger and Elon Musk see. The list goes on and on and on.” –Nick Adams

» Churchill was a lifelong student of the United States of America. He loved the founding of America. He loved the values of America, the principles of America. He liked the freedom.

» Churchill was half American as his mother was from America.

5. America’s exceptionalism and liberty shone through in WWII and they can shine through now. It is our system, constitution, and belief in individual liberty that are exceptional.

In the darkest days and those darkest hours, Churchill was always hopeful that America would end up pulling through and that America would help save the world.

Americans as people are not more special than anywhere else, because our people are the world’s people.

» People who live here come from every nation of the world.

» When you say American, that doesn’t mean that you are a certain type of person or from a certain ethnic background.

» What makes America exceptional is really our system. It’s the constitution. It’s a separation of powers. It’s the belief in individual liberty. It’s a belief in free markets. It is the education that we give, and it’s the Judeo-Christian underpinnings that make our nation different from any other.

» It is a unique culture that is developed because of God-given rights.

“America’s exceptionalism is unique in this culture of mentorship, of support, of help. A lot of it, I think, emanates from America’s robust Christianity. And I think a lot of it emanates from the fact that the government is so small compared to other places that it comes down to the people to actually help each other.” –Nick Adams

Why you should care?

→ American Exceptionalism is now looked down upon by many Americans that do not understand what they have.

→ American Exceptionalism is being attacked by globalists who believe that a bigger government would know better what’s needed.

→ Liberty is at risk in America like never before. There is only a short time to protect Western Civilization.

→ We need to appreciate that we have a president today that still believes in American Exceptionalism. The previous Obama administration tried to take that away and say America is just like everybody else. They had it only half right.

→ Americans need to wake up to the Economic War being waged against us. COVID-19 is being leveraged by some to destroy the American spirit and liberties.

→ It is an economic war, but it is also a war against our values.

In the Economic War Room®, we encourage Americans to be the “small ships that make the difference.” You cannot solely rely on the government or the president to solve America’s problems. You have to make a difference. It is up to you to help take our country back and create a voice for economic liberty. [The small ships are based on Churchill’s Operation Dynamo that rescued the British Expeditionary Forces in the Miracle of Dunkirk.]

Action Steps:

1. Understand, be proud, and defend American Exceptionalism. It is about liberty and culture that do not exist anywhere else.

2. Encourage and pray for President Trump to stand strong in this fight against the invisible enemy – COVID-19. This is an economic war and a spiritual war we are facing.

3. Read Nick Adams new book, Trump and Churchill, Saving Western Civilization.

4. Review and share Economic Battle Plan™ 36 - American Exceptionalism. Be aware of the civil liberties at risk around the world and within the US as national and local politicians decide they know what is best for you.

5. Care must be taken to protect those most at risk from COVID-19. But we must understand that big tech solutions for tracking and social distancing can become major intrusions into our freedoms.

6. Learn more about the NSIC at www.NSIC.org and how you can weaponize your money towards liberty, your values, innovation and new technologies. Let’s keep America exceptional with our giving, spending, and investing.
