Speakers

Victor Jessop

Victor G. Jessop 

Victor is co-founder and president of the New America Initiative. Originally from Australia, he has long been an advocate for principled government based on moral values. As such he has always opposed Marxist and other Leftist ideologies that deny the existence of our Creator and of a Divine purpose for our existence.

His advocacy work has included a decade at the United Nations HQ in New York on behalf of private organizations championing democracy, religious freedom, human rights and free market economies.

His business activities have taken him throughout Asia, Europe and West Africa and he established successful companies in the United States and Australia. He has both played and coached Australian Rules Football. He graduated from Teachers College in Australia, later studied at Fordham University in New York and completed his Masters in International Relations at the Research School of the Asia-Pacific at the Australian National University in Canberra.

Deeply concerned about the rise of the extreme Left in America and the ever more aggressive behavior of Communist China, in 2019 he and his wife Tracy, together with their two children, left a comfortable life in Australia to work in America once more, this time in the life and death struggle with Marxism and its modern offshoots.  

With insights gained from professional and volunteer activities in more than forty countries, he believes that the dangers posed by a resurgent Left and ever more aggressive Communist China can only successfully be stopped and reversed by America.

He now lives with his family in Virginia, dedicating his time and effort to combatting the pernicious influences of the Left and to saving America and the world from the Left’s destructive ideas and activities.  

Victor is an experienced speaker on issues ranging from Marxist ideology to the history of Divine Providence and the recognition that Christianity must awaken to its responsibility as champions of freedom and meet the challenge of protecting the world from the dangers of the Left.

Trevor Loudon

Trevor Loudon

Trevor Loudon is an author, filmmaker and public speaker from Christchurch, New Zealand. For more than 30 years he has researched radical left, Marxist and terrorist movements and their covert influence on mainstream politics.

Trevor’s thesis is that what is commonly regarded as mainstream political policy is in fact guided by hidden subversive elements. The Democratic Party’s consistent defunding of the US military and its support for Obamacare, the Iran Nuclear Deal, normalization of relations with Cuba, the $15 minimum wage, fracking bans, pipeline shutdowns and the push for illegal alien amnesty are all consistent with far-left agendas. He believes that these forces must be exposed and countered, as America’s continued role as a bastion of freedom is pivotal for the future of western civilization.

He has written several books and produced a number of documentaries on these themes. His recent works include: a 2022 film with director Judd Saul: Enemies Within: The Church; a 2020 book: WHITE HOUSE REDS: Communists, Socialists & Security Risks Running for US President, 2020; a 2016 documentary with Judd Saul: The Enemies Within; and a series of free videos with Saul and the Capital Research Center: America Under Siege: Civil War 2017, America Under Siege: Soviet Islam, and: America Under Siege: Antifa.

In 2007 he discovered the long-hidden relationship between notorious Hawaiian Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis and the young Barack Obama, and later Obama’s ties to New York and Chicago Marxist movements. When he published his findings online, he caught the eye of such prominent voices as Accuracy in Media and syndicated radio host Glenn Beck.

In 2009 Loudon exposed the communist roots of Obama’s “Green Jobs Czar” Van Jones. After an extensive campaign by Glenn Beck and others, Jones was forced to resign from his White House position. His research has included interviewing a wide range of people from both sides of the issues. This research has given him unique insights into how extensively often minuscule communist parties have been able to manipulate and even control policy formation in many Western countries, and particularly in America. His research shows that this is not just a historical problem, but threatens America’s survival.

Since 2011 Trevor has toured the United States promoting his two books Barack Obama and the Enemies Within and The Enemies Within: Communists, Socialists and Progressives in the U.S. Congress. He has addressed more than 400 conservative, tea party, religious and Republican groups in more than 37 states.

Trevor is a fellow of the American Freedom Alliance and the Inter-American Institute for Philosophy, Government, and Social Thought.

Thomas Cromwell

Thomas Cromwell

Thomas Cromwell is an expert in political and international affairs. His career has spanned journalism, publishing, nation branding and international business. He has lived and worked in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and has visited 130 countries altogether. He has established several successful businesses, in the United States, Europe and the Middle East. He is currently heading up a group establishing an international publication specialized in international relations and business. Throughout his life he has also been actively engaged in volunteering and philanthropy.

He recently published a book that reflects his international experience and knowledge of historical movements, and which addresses the current dangers posed by Marxist regimes and movements, as well as the infiltration into society of leftist ideologies that are destroying our civilization: The Triumph of Good: Divine Providence, The Cain-Abel Paradigm, And the End of Marxism.

Thomas grew up in a Christian Community in England, and moved with his parents to the United States at age 14. Since then he has developed a very strong attachment to America as the one country in the world capable of blocking and reversing the expansion of Marxist ideologies. He believes that America’s founding was providential, as the Declaration of Independence suggests, but that the American people must awaken to this purpose if the United States is to fulfill this God-given role in the world.

He also believes that the Christian churches have a special responsibility in making this happen, and must themselves be reawakened to a deeper understanding of their mission if they are to accomplish this providential purpose.

Thomas has given a number of talks on a topic drawn from his book: Reclaiming the Providence for America, to student groups, political groups and churches.
