As a Foreign Service Officer, Mr. Gilmore has devoted his career to promoting United States interests and to protecting American citizens through diplomatic efforts abroad. On August 12, 2017, Mr. Gilmore witnessed firsthand James Alex Fields Jr., a neo-Nazi, deliberately drive his Dodge Challenger into a crowd of peaceful protesters, killing Heather Heyer and injuring many others. Mr. Gilmore, who had been filming the protesters as they moved up the street, happened to catch Fields’ attack on video. Mr. 1 Gilmore posted the video on Twitter, where it attracted the attention of the press. After discussing what he had witnessed that day with a number of reporters, Mr. Gilmore soon became the target of right-wing conspiracy theories. Supporters of the alt-right and the “Unite the Right rally,” including the defendants, created a new identity for Mr. Gilmore—the organizer and orchestrator of Fields’ attack and a traitor to the United States. -

Jeffries, Jr. ’73 This issue of UVA Lawyer celebrates the Law School’s continuing commitment to the Commonwealth of Virginia. In addition to being a great national law school, we are also a proud part of a leading public university. As such, we have a special obligation to the Commonwealth and to her citizens. Institutionally, that obligation is discharged in three ways. First, Virginia residents continue to enjoy an advantage in admissions. Second, Virginia residents receive a significant discount from out-of-state tuition. The discount recognizes the years and decades of financial support from the taxpayers of Virginia before we reached Financial Self-Sufficiency. -

Charlottesville Var En Iscenesat Hændelse! <Br
Charlottesville var en iscenesat hændelse! LaRouche PAC Internationale Webcast, 18. august, 2017 For at sætte scenen for aftenens diskussion, der vil handle om en ny flanke af kupforsøget mod præsident Trump, vil jeg begynde med meget positive nyheder fra Kina. Her ser vi [Fig. 1] forsiden af en historie, der blev publiceret i China Daily, med titlen, »Identifikation med Kina«. Det er en historie om Helga Zepp-LaRouche og hendes arbejde over mange årtier sammen med sin mand, Lyndon LaRouche, for udvikling, for bedre forståelse og for samarbejde med Kina. Artiklen begynder med Helgas rejse til Kina i 1971 under Kulturrevolutionen, da hun var passager om bord på et svensk fragtskib. Hun så nationer i Afrika, hun så Kina, og hun kom tilbage fra denne rejse med den absolutte overbevisning, at verden måtte ændre sig, at den måtte blive forbedret. Vært Jason Ross: Det er 18. august, 2017… Med mig i studiet i dag har jeg Will Wertz fraExecutive Intelligence Review (EIR), og remote, Diane Sare, medlem af LaRouche PAC Policy Committee.
