The Beijing dictatorship has identified 31 AI risks, with "incitement to subvert state power and overthrow the socialist system" listed as its No. 1 danger. Not cybercrime. Not terrorism. Not foreign espionage. The main threat Beijing sees from AI is ideological. An AI ecosystem trained to lie will never reason as well as Western versions trained to engage honestly with truth and reality. The counterproposal portion further details how communism's dialectical materialism is also based on a false, atheistic philosophy that is unable to withstand truth-based scrutiny. The news portion provides a dire warning from the U.S. Space Force that predicts future low-level space war with a communist China that is rapidly advancing threatening new out-of-atmophere military capabilities.

Marxist-Leninist ideology in China has remained consistent since 1949 with successive dictators adapting Mao's version of communism with new twists and turns. Deng Xiaoping took the greatest departure from Maoism but kept Marxism-Leninism as the state ideology. Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao put their spin on communism, while also maintaining ideological continuity. Under Xi Jinping today, communism in China is experiencing a forced revival within the Chinese Communist Party despite the masses of China's people recognizing it as a failed European ideology deserving of contempt. This episode explains how Xi is reverting to Mao-style totalitarian communism and a more aggressive expansion around the world. For the counterproposal, this episode explains why mere anti-communism is not enough and a new faith-based worldview is the ultimate solution to defeating communism. For the news section, this program addresses how artificial intelligence is being used by the Indo-Pacific command to deter conflict with China.

This ideology is now being used by communists to advance their goal of overthrowing the American system. This episode examines the ideology of critical theorists who claim to be opposing fascism but in reality are working subversively to reconstruct humanity along Marxian lines. And as with Marx, these critical theorists are virulent atheists who reject all notions of a supreme spiritual being as creator and parent.The counterproposal section explains that the ultimate solution to the problems communism seeks to address must be found in a greater understanding of spirituality and in restoring the originally intended relationship between the human race and God.The news portion addresses a global crackdown on Christians and the need to counter it. And for the interview section, I hear from Frank Kaufman, an expert who speaks eloquently in promoting a unique, faith-based critique and counterproposal of critical theory.
