This episode originally aired in 2020.
Technology tools that were created to “make our lives better” can now be “turned against us to create animosity, and then strife,” said Brig. Gen. Robert Spalding (USAF, ret.) in an interview with Freedom Media Network host Curt Mercadante.
Spalding said those same tools are being used by the Chinese Communist Party to wield influence and create disunity and discord within America’s borders.
Brigadier General Robert Spalding, USAF (Ret.) left his post as director of strategic planning to the president for the National Security Council after a furor caused by his warnings over the security of Americans’ online data.
A 26 year veteran of the U.S. Air Force, Gen. Spalding also previously served as China strategist to the Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and pilot of the B2 stealth aircraft.
In his book, “Stealth War: How the Chinese Took Over While America’s Elite Slept,” General Spalding raises concerns over the CCP's war on free speech inside -- and outside -- its borders.
