Our mission is to support public awareness of national security, economic security, and moral leadership

OUR MISSION

Since 1958, the American Security Council Foundation's (ASCF) mission has been to protect American freedoms and values by promoting public awareness of national security, economic security, and moral leadership through a policy of "Peace through Strength."

Educating our children on America's Founders and Founding documents is a matter of national security. Our American History Live program is a unique, interactive, real-time program for our future generation (K-12). It promotes civic participation and an appreciation of our nation's founding.

ASCF is an educational non-partisan, non-profit, 501 (c)(3) organization. We rely on fundraisers, sponsorships, grants, and donations to keep our programs running.

NATO’s New Center of Gravity

"With a steel gaze focused on Russia, Poland is now devoting 4 percent of GDP to defense, is equipping its military with M1A2 tanks and F-35A fighter-bombers and is making room for permanent U.S. and NATO units all across its territory."

NERVE CENTER

Peace Through Strength podcast host Joy Votrobek and ASCF senior analyst Laurence Sanford discuss Recep Tayyip Erdogan's aspirations to revive the Ottoman Empire and a caliphate. This revivalist sentiment is reflected in Erdogan's foreign policy, which seeks to expand Türkiye's influence in the Middle East and North Africa. Erdogan's approach could risk alienating neighboring countries and igniting nationalist tensions. He also continues to attack the Kurds in Syria with no mention of a Kurdish state. Erdogan's vision appears to move Turkey (now Türkiye) to an autocratic Muslim society and away from the modern society Ataturk created.

Peace Through Strength podcast brief on the recent Israeli precision attacks on Iranian airfields and missile defense systems. Podcast host Joy Votrobek speaks with ASCF Sr. Analyst Laurence Sanford about the conflict between Israel and Iran and Hezbollah's involvement. They also discuss how the U.S. elections may affect the next steps for both Israel and Iran. The implications of this conflict for regional stability are complex and could have far-reaching consequences.

Special Peace Through Strength podcast brief on an article titled "Explaining Communism" in the kids section of our local newspaper. The article was published on October 18th, 2024, in the local Press Journal, a Treasure Coast Newspaper owned by USA Today. Our Sr. Analyst and a teacher/mother share their thoughts on the article. They both believe the article was Communist propaganda and idealistic since it didn't explain any of the downsides of Communism and made it sound like a utopia.
