again.So tell us, uh, a little bit about, uh, uh, the ideas behind the, uh, International Freedom Alliance of which I'm, uh, on the board of advisors, and, uh, where we're gonna go with it.

Oh yeah, great.

Um, the, the, uh, genesis of it came from an awakening from a slumber that should never have taken place in the first place.

The Unification group was preeminent in its clarity and focus, uh, on the ideological dimensions of challenging Marxism and communism, and in fact was highly successful because it translated the, the intellectual, scholarly, and ideological research and work into major international programs to challenge the, uh, the hegemon- the hegemonic efforts of, uh, Soviet communism at the original, original time.

And we had a lot of success back in the day turning back the, uh, Sandinista Nicaragua, and eventually even kind of bringing the, into the belly of the beast into Moscow.

Uh, and, um, and soon after, uh, soon after the engagement of our community toward the end of the, uh, kind of dying regime there, the, the VOC work had great success.

What was, what was missing from that point on was translating the ideology from a, a counterproposal from, from war footing to, to rebuilding these societies with the counterproposal.
