AND NOW- CHESTERFIELD FIRST TO GIVE YOU SCIENTIFIC FACTS IN SUPPORT OF SMOKING A responsible consulting organization reports a study by a competent medical specialist and staff on the effects of smoking Chesterfields. For six months a group of men and women smoked only Chesterfield —10 to 40 a day—their normal amount. 45 percent of the group have smoked Chesterfields from one to thirty years for an average of ten years each. At the beginning and end of the six-months, each smoker was given a thorough examination including X-rays, and covering the sinuses, nose, ears and throat. After these examinations, the medical specialist stated... "It is my opinion that the ears, nose, throat and accessory organs of all participating subjects examined by me were not adversely affected in the six-months period by smoking the cigarettes provided."

    DEEP STATE DIRECTING THE Disorder The CFR is the Deep State powerhouse undoing and remaking our world. 2 by William F. Jasper The nationalist vs. globalist conflict is not merely an he whole world has gone insane ideological struggle between shadowy, unidentifiable and the lunatics are in charge of T the asylum. At least it looks that forces; it is a struggle with organized globalists who have way to any rational person surveying the very real, identifiable, powerful organizations and networks escalating revolutions that have engulfed the planet in the year 2020. The revolu- operating incessantly to undermine and subvert our tions to which we refer are the COVID- constitutional Republic and our Christian-style civilization. 19 revolution and the Black Lives Matter revolution, which, combined, are wreak- ing unprecedented havoc and destruction — political, social, economic, moral, and spiritual — worldwide. As we will show, these two seemingly unrelated upheavals are very closely tied together, and are but the latest and most profound manifesta- tions of a global revolutionary transfor- mation that has been under way for many years. Both of these revolutions are being stoked and orchestrated by elitist forces that intend to unmake the United States of America and extinguish liberty as we know it everywhere. In his famous “Lectures on the French Revolution,” delivered at Cambridge University between 1895 and 1899, the distinguished British historian and states- man John Emerich Dalberg, more com- monly known as Lord Acton, noted: “The appalling thing in the French Revolution is not the tumult, but the design. Through all the fire and smoke we perceive the evidence of calculating organization.

  • Beneath the Surface: Argentine-United States Relations As Perón Assumed the Presidency
    Beneath the Surface: Argentine-United States Relations as Perón Assumed the Presidency Vivian Reed June 5, 2009 HST 600 Latin American Seminar Dr. John Rector 1 Juan Domingo Perón was elected President of Argentina on February 24, 1946,1 just as the world was beginning to recover from World War II and experiencing the first traces of the Cold War. The relationship between Argentina and the United States was both strained and uncertain at this time. The newly elected Perón and his controversial wife, Eva, represented Argentina. The United States’ presence in Argentina for the preceding year was primarily presented through Ambassador Spruille Braden.2 These men had vastly differing perspectives and visions for Argentina. The contest between them was indicative of the relationship between the two nations. Beneath the public and well-documented contest between Perón and United States under the leadership of Braden and his successors, there was another player whose presence was almost unnoticed. The impact of this player was subtlety effective in normalizing relations between Argentina and the United States. The player in question was former United States President Herbert Hoover, who paid a visit to Argentina and Perón in June of 1946. This paper will attempt to describe the nature of Argentine-United States relations in mid-1946. Hoover’s mission and insights will be examined. In addition, the impact of his visit will be assessed in light of unfolding events and the subsequent historiography. The most interesting aspect of the historiography is the marked absence of this episode in studies of Perón and Argentina3 even though it involved a former United States President and the relations with 1 Alexander, 53.

  • Democracy and the NATO Alliance: Upholding Our Shared Democratic Values”
    Prepared Statement for the Record “Democracy and the NATO Alliance: Upholding our Shared Democratic Values” Susan Corke Senior Fellow, German Marshall Fund and Director of Transatlantic Democracy Working Group House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia, Energy, and the Environment U.S. House of Representatives November 13, 2019 Chairman Keating, Ranking Member Kinzinger, Distinguished Members of this Committee, thank you for holding this hearing and inviting me to testify before you on an issue that I believe is fundamental to American security and to our role as a leader of the democratic community of nations. It is a particular honor to be here today because Representatives Keating and Kinzinger have been two of the most principled voices in calling for a reinvigoration of democracy and the NATO Alliance as we contend with an era of authoritarian resurgence. On May 8th they both spoke powerfully at an event hosted by German Marshall Fund and the Transatlantic Democracy Working Group on the need to continue fighting for freedom and the ideals we value most, emphasizing this is in America’s interest. Representative Keating asked a pointed question this event, “What do we have that Russia and China don’t have? A coalition, NATO, that has resulted in 70 years of prosperity and peace.” This year is NATO’s 75th birthday and the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall; these anniversaries could have marked the success of the transatlantic project and the triumph of democracy. Instead, it is clear that after seven decades as the world’s preeminent military alliance, NATO’s future is in danger, facing urgent challenges that require immediate attention, including a recommitment to democratic values as a foundation of our security.

  • The Bingham Family from the Old
    THE FILSON CLUB HISTORY QUARTERLY VOL. 61 JANUARY 1987 NO. 1 THE BINGHAM FAMILY: FROM THE OLD SOUTH TO THE NEW SOUTH AND BEYOND WILLIAM E. ELLIS After reading Gone With the Wind in early 1937, Robert Worth Bingham, American Ambassador to Great Britain and son of a Confederate veteran, reacted effusively to Margaret Mitchell's classic novel. He exclaimed : I do not thank you for "Gone With the Wind" -- I bless you .... I know every phase of it all; the poverty and the pride, the gentility, the gracious manners, the romance, the preservation of dignity and high and generous humanity in rags and semi-starvation. 1 If Mitchell's epic synthesized the popular 1930s interpretation of the Civil War and Reconstruction, to Bingham it meant much more. He believed the book exonerated the history of his father's generation and vindicated his own behavior. Here was no rabid racist of the Tom Watson variety. In his public life Bingham epitomized the best of the southern ethos of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He fought against political cor- ruption in the Progressive Era as a young lawyer, mayor, and judge in Louisville, Kentucky. After purchasing the Louisville Courier-Journal in 1918, he continued his crusade against Ken- tucky's Gothic political system until his death in late 1937. More- over, he led the effort to develop a nationwide system of farmer cooperatives in the early twenties3 Bingham never transcended his southern background of the WILLIAM E.

    University of Birmingham The Eisenhower Administration and U.S. Foreign and Economic Policy towards Latin America from 1953 to 1961 By Yu-Cheng Teng A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Political Science and International Studies School of Government and Society College of Social Science University of Birmingham Edgbaston Birmingham B15 2TT September 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

In order to win the Cold War, the leading bureaucrats were split over different approaches needed to achieve policy objectives in Latin America within the hierarchically regularized machinery- but it was not necessarily welcomed by every Latin American nation. There were three problems with Eisenhower’s staff structuring arrangement towards Latin America: (a) politicization of U.S.-Latin American relations from 1953 to 1961 by senior U.S. bureaucrats with an anti-communism agenda for Latin American development; (b) neglect of Latin American requests for public funds before 1959; (c) bureaucratic conflicts over different methods to achieve foreign policy objectives, often resulting in tensions between policy and operations.

Twentieth Century Commentaries 324 Bibliography IV: Commentaries 328 274 | AULUS GELLIUS Fortuna With the exception of one problematic passage in Fronto, to be discussed below, our knowledge of Aulus Gellius’ life comes entirely from his only known work, a learned miscellany in twenty books covering matters of language, litera- ture, history, law, and much else, presented sometimes in straightforward exposi- tion, sometimes in reports of discourses and debates, and full of quotations from earlier authors whose works in many cases have not survived; the entire collec- tion is preceded by a preface and a summary of contents, chapter by chapter. Produced in an age when the authors who wrote before Cicero were preferred to those who wrote after him (Sallust is an exception, and for Gellius, though not for Fronto, Vergil), it is written in a style that, without consistently imitating the pre-classical authors, often exhibits words and phrases taken from them, many of which Gellius himself discusses in other chapters. The work is calledNoctes Atticae, “quoniam longinquis per hiemem noc- tibus in agro, sicuti dixi, terrae Atticae commentationes hasce ludere ac facere exorsi sumus” (Praefatio 4; “sicuti dixi” refers back to the lost beginning of this preface).
