Understanding Terror and Tyranny

Image
  Understanding Terror and Tyranny   By Edward Haugland We should not be surprised by the assassinations of Mr. Charlie Kirk or Ms. Iryna Zarutska, nor the prior attempted assassinations of President Trump or Justice Kavanaugh. For the last several years. It was inevitable. Whether well-known activists, innocent bystanders, or political figures, these horrific events speak to an underlying problem we have purposefully avoided calling out. The terror, violence, anarchy, assault, indoctrination, and radical influence we see today in America is not new. But we must understand how to stop it. This evil we see is fueled by the narratives, polices, issues, and actions of radical left ideologues. There is no morale equivalency in history or today to what the radical left is unleashing. Their narratives are intent on dehumanizing any opposition. Their policies promote the rights of felons, murderers, rapists, and the like over those of law-abiding citizens. Their issues advance t...

Why We Need a Long-Term National Security Strategy

  Why We Need a Long-Term National Security Strategy     By Edward Haugland  When discussing US national security,  it is logical  to ask  why  a re we so lacking in  strategic  fore thought, planning, or strategy?  How and why ha ve   China,  Russia ,  North  Korea,   and Iran not only survived but ad vanced their strategic priorities at the expense of ours? In simple terms, they act,  we   react . They  thereby advance their  world   vision , priorities and objectives   by  assess ing  the fuller  strategic environment , identify gaps and weaknesses, then exploit or t ake advantage of our siloed approach to national securit y . We  remain  in a primarily  reactive  and defensive p osition   devoid of a true long-term national security strategy .  This is a  losing position.  President Trump  and his administration are...

Treason, Traitor, and Tyranny - The Russian Collusion Conspiracy

Image
  Treason, Traitor, and Tyranny The Russian Collusion Conspiracy   There is an awful lot to digest from the recent releases of now unclassified documents  on the attempted coup and subversion of the Trump administration in 2016 . The releases set the stage for the Attorney General Pam Bondi to establish a Grand Jury to hear evidence that  will likely  result in multiple indictments – and hopefully multiple convictions.  While  I will  address  the three major sets of  information  declassified and  release d  by the DNI, Senate  Judiciary,  and House Intelligence Committee s ,  I will   ask you to take a step back to  understand  the  broader picture  taking place .  Declassified Documents:  The   release of previously classified documents   only validated what we knew – that the Russian Collusion story was a lie, a hit piece by Hillary, and that multiple national...

Radical left borrowed playbook from Soviet Union

Image
  Radical left borrowed playbook from Soviet Union From the 2020 election to DEI propaganda, the goal has always been total control By Edward Haugland  -   Wednesday, July 23, 2025 OPINION: Getting  Russia  to the negotiating table, and succeeding, requires more than sanctions, tariffs or weapons. Success requires penetrating, influencing and disrupting the Russian information environment. This is no easy task and is as complex as targeting and bombing the Iranian nuclear complex. Russian ruler Vladimir Putin is playing by his rules, not those of the Western world. He is comfortable with the tactics and techniques of the old Soviet Union’s KGB. He is used to controlling things, especially the flow of information, and is adept at removing obstacles using assassination, terror or war. Still, he can be made to squirm. The Soviets were adept at disinformation, advancing their desired perceptions using Western and global networks to drive favorable narratives. Mr. Pu...
