  • Eisenhower, Dulles, and the Failed Rhetoric of Liberation
    Tu“Reenactdda ing the Story of Tantalus” “Reenacting the Story of Tantalus” Eisenhower, Dulles, and the Failed Rhetoric of Liberation ✣ Chris Tudda This article explores the relationship between public rhetoric and conªdential foreign policy decision-making during the Eisenhower adminis- tration. President Dwight D. Eisenhower and his Secretary of State, John Fos- ter Dulles, pursued two contradictory diplomatic strategies. On the one hand, they wanted to establish a globalist foreign policy.1 A key component of this strategy was “liberation policy”; that is, freeing the peoples of Eastern Europe from Soviet control. They believed they could best preserve globalism by “ed- ucating” the U.S. public and North American Treaty Organization (NATO) allies about the danger posed by the Soviet Union and the need for liberation. Eisenhower and Dulles consciously chose to use what I have called rhetorical diplomacy in order to achieve this goal.2 Rhetorical diplomacy involved the use of belligerent rhetoric in private meetings with allied and Soviet ofªcials and in public speeches, addresses, and press conferences. Publicly, the Eisen- hower administration embraced liberation policy while appealing to an audi- 1. I have used John Fousek’s deªnition of “American nationalist globalism,” or the belief that the United States, by virtue of its “national greatness,” possessed a unique responsibility “to check Com- munist expansion around the world.” See John Fousek, To Lead the Free World: American Nationalism and the Cultural Roots of the Cold War (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2000), pp. 2, 7–8. Conversely, like Michael W. Miles and David W. Reinhard, I have described as “unilateralists” (rather than “isolationists”) those who wanted to stay out of world affairs and to avoid forming alli- ances.

  • Captive Nations Week, 2019 9910
    This document is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on 07/25/2019 and available online at https://federalregister.gov/d/2019-15989, and on govinfo.gov CAPTIVE NATIONS WEEK, 2019 9910 - - - - - - - BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION The United States has always been a source of hope to people around the world fighting to replace tyranny with liberty, justice, and the rule of law. During Captive Nations Week, we reaffirm our Nation's unwavering support for those who strive to be free from oppression. We condemn repressive regimes that deny people their God-given rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. President Dwight D. Eisenhower first proclaimed Captive Nations Week in 1959, when freedom in the United States was a bulwark against the totalitarianism of communist regimes in Eastern Europe and elsewhere. Even today, many decades since the end of the Cold War unleashed a new era of democratic flourishing, tyrannical and coercive governments still threaten the freedom and well-being of countless individuals worldwide. They persecute people for worshiping their God, and jail people for daring to speak out and for demanding even the most basic forms of transparency and accountability. They use food distribution as a tool of social control, manipulate electoral processes, and undermine the will and spirit of their people through intimidation and fear. The United States stands with repressed people around the world and urges governments everywhere to respect the God-given rights of every individual and to embrace the establishment of representative government. As Americans, we are privileged and blessed to live in a Nation in which our Constitution protects fundamental rights like freedom of expression, association, religion, and peaceful 2 assembly.

    US Congress and President Obama “Officially” Recognize Donbass’: Public Law 86-90 (1959) By George Eliason Region: Russia and FSU, USA Global Research, August 08, 2015 Theme: Law and Justice In-depth Report: UKRAINE REPORT It’s true! President Barack Obama beat Russia’s President Putin to the punch by recognizing the right of Donbass to ascend to the fraternity of nations first. He has unwittingly reaffirmed this every year he has been in office. The Captive Nations Week Resolution passed by both the Senate and House of Representatives in 1959 and reissued as a Presidential Proclamation every year for the last 56 years (also known as Public Law 86-90) affirms the RECOGNITION of the “Don”Donetsk ( and Lugansk Peoples Republics are core countries of a Cossackia) as well as a future Zaporozhyian Republic (currently Zaporozhye Oblast). Cossackia is the American geopolitical term describing the regions where Cossacks lived in the former USSR and Russia. This proclamation is still CURRENT US law and tradition. Written by Neo-Nazi leader Stepan Bandera’s follower Lev Dobriansky under the tutelage of Yaroslav Stetsko (Bandera’s 2nd in command), Dobriansky as president of the UCCA (Ukrainian emigre lobby) included a future nation or nations GENERALLY known as Cossackia in the unanimously passed proclamation made into law. | 1 Stepan Bandera Included in the text of the Proclamation- Public Law 86-90 is “Whereas the imperialistic policies of Communist Russia have led,, through direct and indirect aggression, to the subjugation of the national independence of Poland, Hungary, Lithuania, Ukraine,… Cossackia …” The United States of America was st1 to Recognize Independent Donbass Republics Independence.

  • Who's Winning the Cold War?
    October 4, 1962 CONGRESSMAN'S REPORT By Morris K. Udall WHO'S WINNING THE COLD WAR? I'm proud and fortunate to be an American living in a 20th century society which enjoys more basic freedoms and more material wealth than any nation in the history of this earth. All of us can rejoice in the blessings we now have. Yet, I sense from my mail a great deal of worry and concern about the future of our country. This uneasiness seems to boil down to two conclusions which are drummed into our people from many sources: (1) We are gradually losing our free enterprise system to socialism; and (2) we are slowly, but surely, losing the cold war and will eventually live under communism. In a recent report I tried to refute the charge that we are blindly stumbling into a democratic socialism. In this report, I will suggest that we stand back a moment and compile a box score of Khrushchev's position in the cold war. I heard an agitated radio commentator the other night picture Khrushchev as a ruthless giant astride his monolithic Communist empire "steamrolling across the face of the earth at a fantastic speed." This is a defeatist view taken by many constituents who write: we do nothing right; the Russians do nothing wrong; our foreign policy always is blind, foolish, futile; Russian foreign policy is masterful, devious and always successful; the free world is gradually shrinking as communism nibbles away here and there. Is this a balanced view of events since World War II? What are the facts? It is true that all is not rosy for us.

  • Belarus in the Congressional Record 1873–1994
    Belarus in the Congressional Record 1873–1994 BY TATSIANA KULAKEVICH Many authors have long recognised that migrants have an impact on employment, economic development, demographic trends, as well as foreign policy. The role of migrants can be both constructive, by providing ties and promoting democratic values between their home and host societies, or destructive, by serving as a source of instability in their homeland (Shain 2003). Large masses of people moving from one place to another can help societies better understand each other. Migrants can campaign to democratize authoritarian homeland regimes or serve as a force in the global economy by encouraging or discouraging global investment (Leblang 2010). Also, migrant communities of stateless nations historically played a major part in the struggle for political independence in their countries of origin (Shain 1994). This paper looks at evolving U.S. policy towards Belarus (1873-1994) translated through a domestic, intervening variable. Specifi cally, it focuses on the role of migrants contributing to the development of American government policy towards Belarus over more than a century. The role of the Belarusian diaspora in infl uencing political attitudes in general and specifi cally its signifi cance in U.S. policy towards Belarus has not received much coverage. P. Rudling, for example, suggests that, unlike its neighbors, at the beginning of the 20th century Belarus lacked a diaspora of any infl uence (Rudling 2012). O. Koval, in turn, indicates that individual Belarusian immigrants often joined the activities of Ukrainian, Polish, and Russian diasporas to promulgate their ideas. In any case, the political activity of Belarusian communities in the United States was not well visible from 1918 and 1939 (Koval 2010).
