    TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY Texas Tech is a state-supported, multipurpose university of over 23,000 students enrolled in six colleges-Agricultural Sciences, Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Education, Engineering, and Home Economics- and two schools-the Graduate School and the School of Law. The_Texas Tech Health Sciences Center-a separate institution- and the Museum share the Lubbock campus with the University. As is necessary for an educational institution of its scope and purposes, Texas Tech operates in several locations. Beyond its 1,839-acre Lubbock campus- all in one tract-the University operates a 13,822-acre agricultural and biological laboratory through the Texas Tech University Center at Amarillo. Under development are other agricultural research and teaching facilities in Lubbock County and in Terry County. As a part of its medical role, the Health Sciences Center has in various stages of development three Regional academic Health Centers: in Amarillo, in El Paso, and in Odessa-Midland. The Texas Tech University Center at Junction, in the Texas hill country, is a 411-acre unit consisting of classroom and lodging facilities. Paul Whitfield Horn, the first president of Texas Tech, drew from the broad open plains of West Texas his vision for the institution. "Let us make the work of our college fit into the scope of our country," he said. "Let our thoughts be big thoughts and broad thoughts. Let our thinking be in world-wide-terms." Horn's challenge to Texas Tech, now embarked on its second fifty years, continues as a viable force. His insight is most evident as we-faculty and students, administrators and alumni, supporters and friends- strive to shape the University's programs and activities to meet the highest standards of excellence in teaching, research, and public service.

  • National Security Experts Warn of the Dangers of an Iranian EMP Attack
    National security experts warn of the dangers of an Iranian EMP attack Christopher Collins November 20, 2013 Amidst the Obama administration’s ongoing efforts on Tuesday to negotiate only a partial reduction in Iran’s uranium enrichment in exchange for the easing of sanctions, a panel of noted national security experts is warning of the dangers of an Iranian electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack. In statements sent to the Paulding County Republican Examiner, the panel gathered on Tuesday and discussed the danger of that country’s escalating nuclear program and the risk that such capabilities could result in an electromagnetic pulse attack on the United States, Israel, or other allied nations. The panel of national security experts was sponsored by EMPACTAmerica and moderated by Frank J. Gaffney, Jr., President and CEO of the Center for Security Policy and former Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Policy. Gaffney, in his own remarks, discussed the nature of a nuclear-detonated EMP attack, the effect of which would be to take down the electrical grid indefinitely and the potential for an Iranian EMP attack in light of that regime’s determination to develop nuclear weapons and frequently stated intent to bring about “a world without America”. Ambassador John Bolton, former United States Representative to the United Nations, and Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney, USAF (Ret.), former Assistant Vice Chief of Staff, United States Air Force, discussed the dangers, from both a foreign policy and defense perspective of lifting sanctions or of otherwise negotiating with Tehran on its nuclear weapons program. Furthermore, Bolton noted that President Obama’s troubling decision effectively to “chase down” Iranian president Rouhani in order to negotiate a deal would have ramifications for American credibility in the Middle East.

  • Strategy for Defeating Radical Islam Lt. General Thomas Mcinerney
    Strategy for Defeating Radical Islam Lt. General Thomas McInerney, USAF (Ret.) I would like to thank Professor Dick Thornton and the ISSP for hosting this important symposium and these important subjects that are being discussed today. Now I have challenged myself to lay out a strategy for defeating radical Islam in a very short time frame, but at least it is a start from an administration that has only enabled radical Islam to spread and destabilize the Middle East like no other time in history to include the Crusades. If we look at the Mideast in 2009 when Obama came into office, we had neutralized AQ in Iraq; Syria was quite stable under Bashir Al Assad; Egypt under President Mubarak was a firm ally of 40 years; Libya under Col. Ghadafi had switched to our side and turned in all his nuclear materials, plus he was killing radical Islamists in Benghazi; and Yemen was just festering with AQAP. Our relationship with Saudi and the Gulf States was excellent. Then the Obama Administration came in, and his famous speech in June 2009 at Cairo University that welcomed the Muslim Brotherhood and ignored President Mubarak laid the conditions for the Arab Spring, which has become an Arab Winter. He opened the way for the creation of ISIS when he pulled out U.S. forces in Iraq in December 2011, which made Iraq an Iranian proxy. Not only was Iraq destabilized, but Syria was as well, and Egypt was turned over to the Muslim Brotherhood. In fact, President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton covertly switched sides to radical Islam by supporting Morsi’s election until overthrown by Gen.

Few favor regime change as an end in itself. While the Bush administration does not yet explicitly call for changing the regime, it advocates working with the Iranian people as opposed to the unelected theocracy in Tehran, which is an implicit policy of regime change.
