DAN BURMAWI: If Christianity goes, it does not go alone. With it goes everything it produced and then secularized: human dignity, equality before the law, freedom of conscience, freedom of speech, limits on state power, the idea that rulers answer to something higher than themselves.

What makes a king and a homeless man equal? Nature does not, power does not, history does not. Only one idea does: that both are made in the image of God. --Dan Burmawi

from Dan Burmawi,

Christianity in the West is not just another religion. It is the moral infrastructure of the civilization. And the atheists who can’t wait to see it disappear will one day regret their contribution to pushing it out, just as their master, Dawkins, did last year. If Christianity goes, it does not go alone. With it goes everything it produced and then secularized: human dignity, equality before the law, freedom of conscience, freedom of speech, limits on state power, the idea that rulers answer to something higher than themselves. These did not fall from the sky. They were not discovered by pure reason. They were not produced by biology or evolution. They were born from a worldview. What makes a king and a homeless man equal? Nature does not, power does not, history does not. Only one idea does: that both are made in the image of God. What about freedom of speech? Why should anyone be allowed to say what they think? Because in the biblical worldview, conscience belongs to God before it belongs to the state. Because truth is not created by authority. That is not Greek philosophy, or Roman law, or modern science. That is Judeo-Christian theology translated into politics. What about limited state power? Why shouldn’t the state control everything? Because in the biblical model, the state is not divine. It is not sacred. It is not the source of morality. It is restrained because God stands above it. Remove God, and the state has no ceiling. So when people say:“Human reason produced these values,” they are confusing inheritance with invention. You did not invent them, you were born into them. Societies that abandon Christianity keep the language of rights but lose the substance. They still say “human dignity,” but they can no longer explain why humans have it. They still say “freedom,” but they redefine it as appetite. They still say “equality,” but they replace it with grievance. When we defend Judeo-Christian principles we are defending the moral architecture of the West. A society can survive anything except the destruction of its moral foundation. Those who cheer the death of Christianity believe they are freeing society. In reality, they are removing the load-bearing walls. And when the roof collapses, they will discover too late that what they hated was what was holding everything up.

J. MICHAEL WALLER: You can't be a citizen of the People's Republic of China to study here or to work here unless you spy for their secret police and their intelligence Services when told to. It's part of their law.

5:23.  At the same time they are actively working to steal our University secrets are research Secrets they are actively working to undermine our intellectual property regimes how should we be responding to this?

5:33.  It should be a whole of government response.  It shouldn't just be an FBI fly swatting operation where we're going to work really hard and bust a few people here and there.  But it needs to be across the board because the Chinese Communists are doing it across the board.  You can't be a citizen of the People's Republic of China to study here or to work here unless you spy for their secret police and their intelligence Services when told to.  It's part of their law.  If you have immediate family in China, you're not free, you're not free to be here, and to do as you want if you have parents back in China because they have you over the barrel.  So we have to presume that every citizen of the People's Republic of China, not every Chinese person, but [every] citizen of the People's Republic of China, is in fact, or, is at least, a potential spy for the Chinese intelligence services.

6:25.  So let me ask you this.  I'm going to present the hypothetical to you.  Let's say that there was an organization that was doing advocacy on "Healthcare in America."  And someone had gotten involved in the effort who was a doctor, who had trained at a People's Liberation Army hospital, and this person was advocating for a wholesale changeover of our Healthcare System to one that was more modeled on a Chinese New Age confucianist system.  I would think you would be alarmed by that, especially given the credentials of this person having been trained at a People's Liberation Army Hospital.

7:07.  Sure.  You have to look at anybody being an agent of influence no matter where they're from actually.  Who are they?  Who is behind it?  Is it just a neat idea that they had?  Could it be someone who is from China and thought this is such a bad system that I have to warn the American, so I'm going to recommend something to them, or is this something where I can trick the Americans into doing something and nudge them into moving more in the CCP direction.

NAYIB BUKELE: LGBT lobby is not allowed in schools in El Salvador because it is “unnatural, anti-God, anti-family and a premeditated plan to destroy future generations.”

VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION (Spanish, cleaned for readability from subtitles)
This is a brief informal interview in a parking area with Nayib Bukele (President of El Salvador) and a woman who introduces herself as the national director of Moms for Liberty (likely a Spanish-language or international affiliate focused on opposing gender ideology in schools).
Entrevistadora (Woman):
Presidente Bukele, muchΓ­simas gracias por aceptar nuestra invitaciΓ³n. Yo soy la directora nacional de Moms for Liberty, una organizaciΓ³n que se encarga de combatir esa ideologΓ­a del gΓ©nero en los colegios. Estamos cansadas las madres de vivir esta ideologΓ­a marxista en los colegios. Yo sΓ© que esto es a nivel global. ¿Usted quΓ© estΓ‘ haciendo en su paΓ­s para eso?

Bukele:
Bueno, nosotros no permitimos esas ideologΓ­as en nuestras escuelas y en nuestros colegios. Creo que es importante ademΓ‘s no solo que la currΓ­cula no lleve esta ideologΓ­a del gΓ©nero y todas esas cosas, sino que tambiΓ©n es importante que los padres estΓ©n informados y tengan voz y voto en lo que van a aprender sus hijos. Nosotros confiamos nuestros hijos al sistema educativo —quΓ© sΓ© yo, mΓ‘s vale para nosotros que se las confiemos al sistema educativo— para que les enseΓ±en cosas ΓΊtiles de su vida: biologΓ­a, matemΓ‘ticas, claro, cosas importantes para el aprendizaje. Y luego vienen y quieren meterles ideologΓ­a, quieren hacer cosas contrarias a la naturaleza. AdemΓ‘s, pagado por los taxes.

Entrevistadora:
¡Claro! Pagados con impuestos, pero aparte de eso...

Bukele:
Yo creo que al final no me molestarΓ­a pagar si tuvieran una educaciΓ³n de verdad basada en lo acadΓ©mico. Pero nos hacen pagar para tener una educaciΓ³n contraria a la naturaleza, contraria a Dios, contraria a la familia, contraria a lo que los padres queremos. Ese es el verdadero peligro. Hay que erradicar esto de las escuelas porque no es asΓ­ nomΓ‘s. ¿QuΓ© pasa? Es un plan premeditado para destruir a las futuras generaciones.

Entrevistadora:
AsΓ­ es. ¿CuΓ‘l usted ve como el futuro de la educaciΓ³n? ¿CΓ³mo serΓ­a lo ideal para usted una educaciΓ³n con Dios en los colegios?

Bukele:
Yo creo que es importante que se retome a Dios en las escuelas, que se retome la moral, el civismo, que se aprendan las cosas tradicionales como los acadΓ©micos: matemΓ‘ticas, etcΓ©tera, historia, etcΓ©tera. Pero ademΓ‘s que sΓ­ hagan nuevas materias que no sean las que quieren meter, sino por ejemplo aprender a cocinar —claro, tambiΓ©n, por supuesto—, de cosas que son ΓΊtiles en la vida de la gente. Habilidades importantes. Que la gente... yo digo, si quieren meter cosas nuevas, quieren modernizar, estΓ‘ bien, pero hagΓ‘moslo en cosas productivas para la gente, producciΓ³n para nuestras... y cosas aquΓ­. Nosotros estarΓ­amos contentos que les enseΓ±aran a nuestros hijitos aunque no nos le enseΓ±aron a nosotros. Nadie estΓ‘ en contra de modernizarse. Lo que estamos en contra es de ideologΓ­as antinaturales, anti-Dios, anti-familia. Eso no cabe en nuestra escuela.

Entrevistadora:
Absolutamente, Presidente Bukele. ¿Usted mandarΓ­a un saludo a nuestros oyentes y seguidores de Padres en AcciΓ³n, el programa que yo estoy llevando?

Bukele:Claro que sΓ­. Es un gran saludo a toda la audiencia de Padres en AcciΓ³n. Mucho trabajo siempre con la voluntad de Dios y sigamos luchando por lo que sea mejor para nuestros hijos. 
ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Interviewer (Woman):
President Bukele, thank you very much for accepting our invitation. I am the national director of Moms for Liberty, an organization dedicated to fighting that gender ideology in schools. We mothers are tired of living this Marxist ideology in schools. I know this is happening globally. What are you doing in your country about this?

Bukele:
Well, we do not allow those ideologies in our schools and colleges. I think it's important not only that the curriculum does not include this gender ideology and all those things, but also that parents are informed and have a voice and vote in what their children will learn. We entrust our children to the educational system —I mean, it's better for us to entrust them to the educational system— so they teach them useful things in life: biology, mathematics, of course, important things for learning. And then they come and want to insert ideology, want to do things contrary to nature. And paid for by taxes.

Interviewer:
Of course! Paid with taxes, but besides that...

Bukele:
I think in the end I wouldn't mind paying if they provided a real education based on academics. But they make us pay for an education contrary to nature, contrary to God, contrary to the family, contrary to what we parents want. That is the real danger. We have to eradicate this from schools because it's not just happening by chance. What's happening? It's a premeditated plan to destroy future generations.

Interviewer:
That's right. What do you see as the future of education? What would be ideal for you—an education with God in schools?

Bukele:
I think it's important to bring God back into schools, to bring back morals and civics, to teach traditional subjects like academics: mathematics, etc., history, etc. But also to create new subjects that aren't the ones they want to force in, but for example learning to cook—of course, that too—things that are useful in people's lives. Important skills. I say, if they want to introduce new things, want to modernize, that's fine, but let's do it with productive things for people, production for our... and things here. We would be happy if they taught our children even if they didn't teach us. No one is against modernizing. What we are against are unnatural ideologies, anti-God, anti-family. That has no place in our schools.

Interviewer:
Absolutely, President Bukele. Would you send a greeting to our listeners and followers of Parents in Action, the program I'm leading?

Bukele:
Of course. A big greeting to the entire Parents in Action audience. A lot of work, always with God's will, and let's keep fighting for what's best for our children.
