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.

  • DANIEL PATRICK MOYNIHAN and the UNITED NATIONS in TRANSITION by DAVID LEE (Under the Direction of William Stueck)
    DANIEL PATRICK MOYNIHAN AND THE UNITED NATIONS IN TRANSITION by DAVID LEE (Under the Direction of William Stueck) ABSTRACT This thesis will examine how the relationship between the United States and the United Nations began to change in the 1970s. At that time, the new members of the United Nations began to attack the United States and attempted to restructure the international order in their favor. In 1975 Daniel Patrick Moynihan became US Ambassador to the United Nations and attempted to deal with the changed circumstances there based on his experience in American domestic politics. He attempted to make the United Nations, especially the General Assembly, an important part of US foreign policy by applying the ideology of Woodrow Wilson and democratic liberalism that he felt was in retreat after the Vietnam War. Moynihan was succeeded by Andrew Young and Jeane Kirkpatrick, who continued Moynihan’s overall strategy while veering away from his centrist course.

  • NUCLEAR TERRORISM US Policies to Reduce the Threat of Nuclear Terror
    NUCLEAR TERRORISM US Policies to Reduce The Threat of Nuclear Terror --- Brian D. Finlay --- September 2008 In Support of PSA’s REPORT CARD ON WMD TERROR PREVENTION 111 Brian D. Finlay Senior Associate Henry L. Stimson Center The Partnership for a Secure America (PSA) is dedicated to recreating the bipartisan center in American national security and foreign policy. Past decades have witnessed a hardening of partisan divisions on national security and foreign policy, limiting productive debate and blocking effective action by Congress and the Executive Branch on critical policy issues. This rising partisanship has soured working relationships among policymakers and their counterparts across the aisle at all levels of government, and our national security and foreign policy discourse has suffered as a result. The Partnership for a Secure America was created to respond to this growing problem and to help foster sensible, bipartisan, consensus driven solutions to the major national security and foreign policy challenges facing our country.
