In their e-mails in response to my columns, my readers ask me what they can and must do to save freedom in the West from China, becoming a military colossus.

On November 11, I received an e-mail from Steven Saul, who said that he had been reading my columns and reported my conclusions on his show, "The Voice of the Silent Majority," Las Vegas, Nevada. At his invitation, I spoke (for 45 minutes) on his show on November 25. Let me summarize what I say in such cases to the "silent majority."

So far freedom has survived because constitutionalism, protecting the individual against the tyranny of autocratic rulers of the kind that even the monarchs of England once were, and the Industrial Revolution, owing to which pre-nuclear weapons could be produced, coexisted in the same countries.

In World War II, both Germany and Russia produced pre-nuclear weapons, while their sociopolitical systems were national (and not just private) slavery.

Owing to modern communications, the owners of China cannot isolate their human property from the free countries. It is obvious to them that either they will annihilate the free countries or they will be overthrown by their Chinese slaves. Recall the Tiananmen Square of 1988, with its replica of the Statue of Liberty! The Square was a kind of open-air headquarters for a growing national uprising. What is less known is that over 100,000 mini-uprisings occur in China every year.

It is easier for the owners of China to annihilate the free countries than to keep their own population from the destruction of their autocratic power and perhaps their lives, too, for good measure. Their torture to death of Falun Gong practitioners will not be forgotten, as will not be forgotten Mao's murder of 80 million Chinese.
