The Fifth Column Inside America: Radicals Are Trying to Cripple Our F-35s

A Global Assault on American Air Power

The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, the pinnacle of U.S. air supremacy, is under attack, not from foreign adversaries, but from a network of radical activists operating both inside and outside the country. Across continents, far-left groups with ties to anti-Israel movements are coordinating protests, blockades, and even sabotage to disrupt the production and supply chains of America’s most advanced fighter jet. This is not activism; it is a fifth column effort aimed at weakening U.S. military readiness, and it demands immediate attention.

Targeting the Heart of Our Military Logistics

These groups are not amateurs. They have studied the F-35 supply chain in painstaking detail, mapping every port, airport, and factory where components are manufactured or shipped. They know that nearly all maritime shipments of F-35 parts pass through Maersk, and that disrupting these flows could cripple fuel systems, flight controls, and weapons deployment. In New York, activists have openly organized workers to interfere with shipments at JFK Airport. Their goal is clear: dismantle the logistical backbone of the F-35 program and strike at the very heart of American air power.

From Peaceful Protest to Direct Sabotage

The rhetoric is escalating into action. In the U.K., Palestine Action targeted factories producing 15% of all F-35 components, ramming gates, climbing rooftops, and causing property damage. In the U.S., groups connected to the Democratic Socialists of America have escalated from boycotts to aggressive campaigns involving intimidation, vandalism, and threats of further sabotage. Globally, protests in Spain, the Netherlands, and elsewhere have influenced governments to consider arms embargoes—directly threatening the program’s international supply chain. These actions are coordinated, deliberate, and deeply troubling.

A Multi-Decade, Strategic Campaign

This is no short-term stunt. Far-left organizers have openly declared their objective: sustained disruption of U.S. military logistics over years, even decades. They are coordinating internationally, leveraging unions, and using supply-chain vulnerabilities to their advantage. These activists openly frame their work as fighting on “multiple fronts” against American power. If left unchecked, this movement could compromise not just the F-35 program but the U.S.’s ability to operate alongside NATO allies and project power globally.

Lawmakers Are Raising the Alarm

Senator Tom Cotton and Representative Paulina Luna have publicly called attention to this threat, warning that such activism—disguised as protest—is a direct risk to national security. Viral calls from activists to “intervene” in supply chains have made lawmakers and military veterans uneasy, yet despite repeated warnings, these campaigns continue to escalate, targeting ports, airports, and manufacturing hubs worldwide.

Bottom Line: Why America Cannot Ignore This Threat

The F-35 program represents decades of innovation, billions of dollars of investment, and the cutting edge of U.S. air dominance. Allowing radicals to disrupt it is not just reckless—it is dangerous. This is a coordinated attack on American strength and sovereignty, and it is unfolding in real time. National security cannot wait for the courts or local governments to catch up; immediate, comprehensive action is required to safeguard our military readiness and ensure that a fifth column does not succeed in crippling America’s defense capabilities.

The stakes could not be higher. Every delay, disruption, or act of sabotage against the F-35 program weakens U.S. power and emboldens America’s enemies. Activists may frame themselves as protesters or freedom fighters, but their actions are nothing less than an assault on American security. Recognizing and countering this threat is not optional; it is a moral and strategic imperative.

It’s time for the FBI to take active measures against our enemies, foreign and domestic, including prison sentences for the most egregious among them.

We are being screwed.
