  • DIRECTING the Disorder the CFR Is the Deep State Powerhouse Undoing and Remaking Our World
    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.

ADVICE AND DISSENT: DUE PROCESS OF THE SENATE Luis Kutner* The Watergate affair demonstrates the need for a general resurgence of the Senate's proper role in the appointive process. In order to understand the true nature and functioning of this theoretical check on the exercise of unlimited Executive appointment power, the author proceeds through an analysis of the Senate confirmation process. Through a concurrent study of the Senate's constitutionally prescribed function of advice and consent and the historicalprecedent for Senatorial scrutiny in the appointive process, the author graphically describes the scope of this Senatorialpower. Further, the author attempts to place the exercise of the power in perspective, sug- gesting that it is relative to the nature of the position sought, and to the na- ture of the branch of government to be served. In arguing for stricter scrutiny, the author places the Senatorial responsibility for confirmation of Executive appointments on a continuum-the presumption in favor of Ex- ecutive choice is greater when the appointment involves the Executive branch, to be reduced proportionally when the position is either quasi-legis- lative or judicial.

  • Don Antonio Ortiz Mena, Hijo Predilecto De Parral
    Fragua de los Tiempos Diciembre 7 de 2008 # 796 Don Antonio Ortiz Mena, hijo predilecto de Parral Ahora que se habla tanto de la recesión en Estados Unidos y que nos encontramos ante un impredecible desorden económico en casi todo el mundo; ahora que se descubre la vulnerabilidad de nuestro país y se advierten los males que le esperan a corto plazo (por más que lo nieguen Calderón y Carstens), es menester recordar que en México se han conocido condiciones diferentes, donde la economía andaba dando tumbos pero se podían sortear las dificultades externas gracias a que su sistema hacendario y las finanzas se dirigían con responsabilidad; pero sobre todo porque en la dirección de Hacienda participaron profesionistas capaces que desempeñaron su cometido con honestidad y lealtad a México. Concretamente nos referimos a la situación del país en la medianía del siglo pasado, durante los sexenios de Ruiz Cortines y López Mateos, cuando la dirección del sistema hacendario estuvo bajo la responsabilidad del licenciado Antonio Ortiz Mena, quien brilló en la administración pública por su gran capacidad profesional y por su honestidad como administrador. No obstante, aunque en otros países se reconoce y se recuerda el genio del licenciado Ortiz Mena, el gobierno mexicano se ha olvidado de su legado y durante los últimos sexenios se ha hecho cada vez más evidente la descomposición del sistema tributario por la irresponsabilidad con que se ha manejado. Por los méritos que acumuló el licenciado Ortiz Mena en su vida, y porque estamos convencidos de que una sociedad se enriquece cuando reconoce, identifica y respeta a sus personajes más sobresalientes, hace tiempo que tenemos el propósito de escribir una semblanza de su biografía, y hasta ahora no hemos cumplido con ello debido a que nos reclaman otras tareas que vienen desde mucho tiempo atrás; sin embargo, en esta ocasión vamos a recurrir a algunas de nuestras fuentes con el fin de compartir con nuestros lectores algunos avances de lo que puede ser en el futuro la semblanza de este ilustre y ejemplar chihuahuense.

Book Review Essay The Making of the Attorney General: John Mitchell and the Crimes of Watergate Reconsidered Gerald Caplan* I. INTRODUCTION Shortly after I resigned my position as General Counsel of the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department in 1971, I was startled to receive a two-page letter from Attorney General John Mitchell. I was not a Department of Justice employee, and Mitchell's acquaintance with me was largely second-hand. The contents were surprising. Mitchell generously lauded my rather modest role "in developing an effective and professional law enforcement program for the District of Columbia." Beyond this, he added, "Your thoughtful suggestions have been of considerable help to me and my colleagues at the Department of Justice." The salutation was, "Dear Jerry," and the signature, "John." I was elated. I framed the letter and hung it in my office.

  • Voting Representation in Congress: an Analysis of Legislative Proposals
    Order Code RL33830 District of Columbia Voting Representation in Congress: An Analysis of Legislative Proposals Updated January 30, 2007 Eugene Boyd Analyst Government and Finance Division District of Columbia Voting Representation in Congress: An Analysis of Legislative Proposals Summary This report provides a summary and analysis of legislative proposals that would provide voting representation in Congress to residents of the District of Columbia. Since the issue of voting representation for District residents was first broached in 1801, Congress has considered five legislative options: (1) seek voting rights in Congress by constitutional amendment, (2) retrocede the District to Maryland (retrocession), (3) allow District residents to vote in Maryland for their representatives to the House and Senate (semi-retrocession), (4) grant the District statehood, and (5) define the District as a state for the purpose of voting for federal office (virtual statehood). During the 109th Congress, several bills were introduced to provide voting representation in Congress for District residents, but none passed. The bills were of the following three types: (1) measures providing a single vote for the District in the House by increasing the number of House seats by two, one for the District and one for Utah, H.R. 2043 and H.R. 5388; (2) a measure allowing District residents to vote in Maryland for their representatives to the House and Senate, H.R. 190 (semi- retrocession); and (3) measures granting the District full voting rights in Congress (one Representative and two Senators), H.R. 398 and S. 195. (Note: based on 2000 Census data Utah is next in line to gain an additional seat if the total number of congressional seats were increased by one to 436.
