Mosher calls the CCP the biggest killing machine in history: roughly 100 million deaths from its rule plus 400 million unborn Chinese lost under the one-child policy, a combined 500 million victims. He borrows a framework from Nationalist leader Chiang Kai-shek, who in the 1930s faced both a Japanese invasion and a Communist rebellion and chose to fight the Communists first, calling Japan merely “a disease of the skin” (limited, containable) while the CCP was “a disease of the heart” — capable of killing China from within. History proved him right: Japan was defeated by allied forces, but the Nationalists were later defeated by the CCP, forcing Chiang and a million troops to flee to Taiwan, where they built a free, democratic society. Mosher applies this today: threats like Iran are “diseases of the skin,” but the CCP alone is a “disease of the heart” — capable of threatening America’s survival. The CCP believes only one system can ultimately dominate the world, and its goal is not to make America the second most powerful country, but a subservient, semi-colonial tributary state supplying food, raw materials, and consumer demand to a China-dominated economy. Mosher outlines the CCP’s 100-year plan (starting 1949), with milestones in 2025 (tech dominance in bioengineering, AI, robotics), 2035 (regional dominance over Asia), and 2049 (global dominance) — already advanced through espionage, IP theft, currency manipulation, trade cheating, and economic colonization of places like Africa and Sri Lanka.
