Justice and Security | The Intelligence Intercept

Today, the United States finds itself at a crossroads. Deep economic disparities divide Americans, a tense debate about individual rights and freedoms rages, and opposing visions for the future are threatening to rip apart our society at the seams. Although the United States has weathered difficult times before, today's issues are perceived by the general populous to not only undermine public safety and national security, but the very survival of the Union itself. Learn how our leaders can fix the system here.

Slaying the Dragon | EP. 1

The COVID-19 pandemic has been the largest, deadliest, and most impactful event to occur as of yet in the 21st century. The virus has caused the deaths of well over 170,000 people and infected nearly 3,000,000. Trillions of dollars have been lost as a result of economic stagnation, and millions of workers now find themselves unemployed. By the time a vaccine or anti-viral treatment is found, misery and pain will have entered the homes of hundreds of millions of innocent people. Although the Chinese government did not engineer COVID-19 in a lab, it certainly assisted in its spread. During the early stages of the pandemic, it suppressed medical professionals, deceived the international community, and denied basic truths. These actions may have cost tens of thousands of lives, and perhaps even worsened COVID-19s spread at times it could’ve been halted. In Slaying the Dragon, a three-part series, the Intelligence Ledger will analyze the PRC’s strategic objectives and discuss potential actions the United States can take to punish the government in Beijing. The challenge that lays before the United States is a difficult one, but not insurmountable. Our country has encountered strenuous times before, but each and every time, it has emerged stronger than before.
