America Under Siege: Retired Colonel Warns of Imminent Invasion and Destruction from Within

As the world grapples with widespread IT failures, stock market turmoil, border crises, global attacks on Jewish communities, and assassination attempts against President Trump, a palpable sense of fear is taking hold. Many sense that something grave is unfolding, yet retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Siegrist cautions that the true danger lies ahead. He asserts that “sleeper cells” of foreign agents have already infiltrated the United States, poised to strike against everyday Americans who stand against a looming New World Order—one Siegrist believes will be controlled by Chinese Communists, radical Islamists, and their American collaborators.

In a stark and alarming presentation at the Frederick County Conservative Club in Maryland, Siegrist revealed his belief that approximately 84,000 foreign men of military age have infiltrated the United States. “We are outnumbered at home,” he declared, painting a grim picture of a nation vulnerable to a physical invasion and subsequent takeover.

These operatives, he claims, have entered the country under the open borders policy of the Biden/Harris Administration.

Siegrist, a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel with 28 years of service, is part of a coalition of 17 former military officers who are traveling the country to educate citizens on emergency preparedness. He urged attendees to prepare for the worst—stock up on medical kits, secure emergency food and water supplies, arm themselves, and learn how to escape urban areas when the power grid inevitably fails.

Using a slideshow to illustrate his points, Siegrist, a West Point graduate, emphasized the ongoing battle between freedom and communism in America. He stressed the importance of protecting one’s family, friends, and community, urging people to build trust with local officials, especially sheriffs, emergency responders, and firefighters.

During a tense Q&A session, Siegrist issued even more dire warnings. He claimed that the existing “hatred” towards conservatives, particularly white people, in America would soon be weaponized by these invaders, many of whom he asserted are Chinese and Middle Eastern. “We’ve caught them at rifle ranges training as a squad,” he stated, describing groups of eight, all Chinese, training under an instructor.

When asked about the July 13 assassination attempt on Trump and the alleged would-be assassin, Thomas Crooks, Siegrist dismissed Crooks as a “patsy,” insisting he was not the true culprit. The actual perpetrators, he claimed, remain unidentified and at large.

While some contest Siegrist’s view, pointing out that Crooks was a skilled marksman who trained at a gun range used by the Department of Homeland Security, others are concerned about the implications. Speculation swirls that security lapses by the Secret Service may mask a deliberate effort to undermine Trump’s re-election campaign.

In a related development, Judicial Watch announced on August 12 that the FBI is withholding information requested under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) regarding its coordination with the U.S. Secret Service concerning the July 13 rally.

The open borders policy of the Biden/Harris Administration has further complicated matters, as Senator Charles Grassley raises concerns about how Asif Raza Merchant, a Pakistani with ties to Iran, was allowed into the U.S. to plot Trump’s assassination.

John Solomon of Just the News reported, “The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force interviewed Merchant, fingerprinted him, and inspected his electronic devices when he arrived at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, but then inexplicably allowed him to leave with a special parole that expired on May 11,” according to government memos.

Astonishingly, in one of the latest examples of official negligence, two illegal Jordanian migrants charged with attempting to breach Marine Corps Base Quantico in May were subsequently released.

Showing a slide depicting America’s staggering debt and runaway federal spending, Siegrist warned that an economic crash is imminent, a scenario that could unleash domestic chaos, providing America’s enemies with an opportunity to exploit the situation.

He used phrases like “When these people hit” and “When everything goes bad” to describe the final push to destabilize and destroy America. Siegrist stressed that the invaders already on U.S. soil are counting on a nation of untrained, undisciplined citizens to succumb.

“Know your neighbors,” he urged, “and know your way out” when enemy forces invade your community.

Invoking the famous quote, “When seconds count, the police are minutes away,” Siegrist recommended arming oneself with a shotgun, knives, pepper spray, and tear gas for self-defense. He also advised learning how to communicate without a phone, suggesting walkie-talkies as a viable alternative.

Siegrist’s perspectives are not fringe. With extensive experience as a Ranger, Airborne, Artillery, and Space operations officer, he has served in numerous overseas tours and possesses advanced knowledge of nuclear warfare and survival skills. Currently, he works at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, contributing to defense projects.

A former Eagle Scout and longtime Boy Scouts of America leader, Siegrist lamented the decline of the organization, which he believes is being dismantled by those who wish to leave America defenseless and its youth unprepared for national emergencies.

Regardless of age, he emphasized the importance of staying physically fit to avoid becoming an easy target when attackers arrive at your doorstep.

In his presentation, Siegrist also touched on the national security threat posed by Chinese acquisition of American farmland, particularly near U.S. military bases, and cyberattacks on the food industry. He cited a specific example involving an attack on a Fort Dodge, Iowa-based cooperative serving corn and soy farmers.

Fred Propheter, president of the Frederick Conservative Club, introduced Siegrist, noting that recent events have exposed just how vulnerable citizens are in a digital world where “one line of code” can disrupt banking and airline operations. He suggested these incidents might have been tests to gauge public response to crises.

CrowdStrike, a leading cybersecurity firm, attributed these disruptions to a “bug” in a software update.

Meanwhile, Microsoft documented that Iranian hackers had stolen data from the Trump for president campaign, and Trump’s interview with tech mogul Elon Musk on X was delayed due to a massive cyberattack. Despite the setback, the interview still reached hundreds of millions.

The storm is here, and the endgame is in sight. Stay strong, stay vigilant, and trust the plan. We are on the brink of a monumental victory. Welcome to the dawn of a new age.
