If you care about the future and safety of your family, especially children and grandchildren, Peter Schweizer’s book, “Blood Money: Why the Enemy Is Within & How to Stop It,” is essential reading. This isn’t a political book in the traditional sense; it’s a stark warning about a new form of warfare being waged against the United States by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Schweizer meticulously documents the CCP’s strategic objective: to undermine and ultimately defeat America through what they term “unrestricted warfare.” This encompasses actions across all domains, posing a significant and often unseen threat to American lives and well-being. It’s crucial to understand that this is not about partisan politics but about national security and protecting ourselves from very real dangers. “Blood Money” serves as a critical wake-up call, revealing uncomfortable truths that many in positions of power seem determined to ignore.
China’s Fentanyl Assault: “Murder With a Borrowed Knife”
The first section of “Blood Money,” titled “Murder With a Borrowed Knife,” delves into the devastating fentanyl crisis plaguing America. Schweizer lays bare the undeniable truth: China is the epicenter of the global fentanyl trade. Operating in concert with Mexican drug cartels, the CCP facilitates the flow of this deadly opioid into the United States, resulting in mass casualties. The process is chillingly efficient and deliberate. China manufactures the precursor chemicals for fentanyl, ships them to Mexican ports under their influence, provides cartels with chemists to oversee fentanyl production, supplies pill presses for manufacturing counterfeit drugs, and, crucially, exerts influence in Washington D.C. to maintain porous borders, ensuring easy distribution throughout American communities. This isn’t just a drug problem; it’s a calculated attack using fentanyl as a weapon.
Arming American Criminals: “Watch a Fire From Across the River”
Part two, “Watch a Fire From Across the River,” exposes another dangerous tactic: the CCP’s role in arming criminals within the United States. China is the world’s leading producer of illegal gun enhancements, expertly smuggling millions of these lethal components into the country. American cities are increasingly flooded with cheap, Chinese-made auto-sear switches (converting handguns into machine guns) and firearm suppressors (silencers). Beyond simply supplying the tools of violence, Schweizer details how CCP-linked organizations actively fund and incite gangs, anarchist groups, and extremist factions within America. The goal is clear: to sow discord, fuel violence, and destabilize American society from within. This calculated strategy amplifies crime and undermines the very fabric of public safety.
Psychological Warfare Targeting American Youth: “Hide a Dagger in a Smile”
For parents, Part 3, “Hide a Dagger in a Smile,” is perhaps the most alarming. It focuses on the CCP’s sophisticated psychological warfare campaign aimed at inflicting “mental casualties” on young Americans. The People’s Liberation Army has dedicated units specializing in information warfare, which they openly refer to as “borrowing mouths to speak.” Schweizer highlights that Chinese intelligence capabilities in this arena far surpass even those of Russia. Their tactics are multifaceted and insidious: influencing Hollywood’s messaging in movies and music, sponsoring athletes and celebrities to act as propaganda mouthpieces, manipulating social media through fake hashtags, bot networks, and radical influencers, and pressuring mainstream US media to adopt a more CCP-friendly stance. Crucially, Schweizer addresses the immense danger of TikTok, owned by the CCP-controlled ByteDance. This section is vital for understanding the very real threat TikTok poses to children’s cognitive development and mental well-being, serving as a powerful tool for CCP influence and data collection.
Weaponizing Global Crises: “Loot a Burning House”
The final section, “Loot a Burning House,” directly confronts the COVID-19 pandemic. Regardless of the virus’s origins, Schweizer presents compelling evidence that the CCP’s actions and policies during the crisis were deliberately malicious, designed to maximize global damage, chaos, and fatalities. He argues that the CCP views biological warfare as a legitimate component of their strategic arsenal. This section forces a critical re-evaluation of the pandemic’s impact and the CCP’s role in exacerbating its devastating consequences.
A Critical Wake-Up Call
Peter Schweizer’s “Blood Money” is not just another political book; it’s a meticulously researched and bravely written exposé. It’s a crucial wake-up call for every American. By detailing the multifaceted and often hidden ways the CCP is waging “unrestricted warfare” against the United States, Schweizer provides the knowledge necessary to understand the threats we face. Reading “Blood Money” is the first step in demanding action and holding our leaders accountable for protecting American lives and interests in this new, dangerous era. It’s time to open our eyes to the reality of the CCP’s agenda and take steps to defend ourselves and future generations.
