  • Testimony :: Ambassador Daniel Fried
    Testimony :: Ambassador Daniel Fried Principal Deputy Special Advisor to the Secretary of State - Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe Ambassador Daniel Fried Principal Deputy Special Advisor to the Secretary of State For the New Independent States "Elections, Democratization and Human Rights in Azerbaijan" Mr. Chairman, it is an honor to be here today representing the Administration at this hearing. I appreciate the opportunity to discuss recent developments in Azerbaijan and U.S. foreign policy goals in that country. The United States seeks development of modern democratic political and economic institutions in Azerbaijan and the strengthening of Azerbaijan's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity. With its vast hydrocarbon resources and its geo-strategic position on east-west trade routes, Azerbaijan stands a strong chance of becoming a vital hub for the transport of Caspian Basin energy resources to world markets. To promote our interests in Azerbaijan, we have established the following priority policy goals: § Promoting regional stability and cooperation. Long-term stability in the Caucasus will require a peaceful resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. As a co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, we, along with our French and Russian counterparts, are working with the parties to bring about a mutually agreeable, just and durable settlement. § Broadening our cooperation with Azerbaijan to counter global threats, including terrorism, drug trafficking and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and associated delivery systems, materials, technologies and expertise. § Supporting development of Azerbaijan's energy resources. We have sought to augment global energy supplies and support U.S. commercial interests by developing Azerbaijan's energy resources in an environmentally sound manner.

  • Dear Senator
    Dear Senator: We support, strongly and without qualification, President Obama’s nomination of Chuck Hagel to be the next Secretary of Defense. Most of us have known the Senator for a decade or more and consistently have found him to be one of the best informed leaders in the U.S. Congress on national security issues. Senator Hagel’s credentials for the job are impeccable. As a decorated Vietnam veteran, a successful entrepreneur in the private sector, and a two-term United States senator, he brings exceptional qualifications and experience to the Department of Defense, particularly at this time of budget constraint and challenges in reshaping America’s military power while keeping it strong for the coming decades. Senator Hagel’s political courage has impressed us all. He has stood and argued publicly for what he believes is best for the United States. Time and again, he has chosen to take the path of standing up for our nation, rather than the path of political expediency. He has always supported the pillars of American foreign policy: a strong military; a robust Atlantic partnership; a commitment to the security of Israel, as a friend and ally; a determination to stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons; and the defense of human rights as a core principle of America’s role in the world. We have spent most of our lives in the service of our country, deeply committed to America’s security and the example of our democracy. Many of us served in the U.S. armed services and most of us have served for decades as professional diplomats.

    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.

  • Globalization Will Bring Democracy to the Muslims
    Globalization Will Bring Democracy to the Muslims By David Hale As appeared in the Wall Street Journal Europe on June 3rd, 2003 The decision of the Bush administration to pursue new free trade and investment agreements with the countries of the Middle East is both timely and wise. One of the factors that has helped to set the stage for the poverty and political backwardness of the Middle East is the economic isolation of the region. The Muslim world with the exception of a few Asian countries has not really shared in the globalization process that has driven the world economy during recent decades. There are about 49 countries whose populations are predominately Muslim and another four which are half Muslim. There are a few Muslim countries that are highly integrated in the global economy, such as Malaysia. But the great majority have long pursued policies hostile to foreign trade and investment. The result is a very large imbalance between the Muslim share of world population and the Muslim share of global trade and investment. The 49 predominately Muslim countries have about 1.12 billion people, or about 18% of the world total. There are 186 million in Africa, 310 million in the Middle East, and 625 million in central and East Asia. There are another 90 million Muslims in African countries that have majority non-Muslim populations. There are also 35 million Muslims in China and 20 million in Russia. And of course, India has the world's largest Muslim "minority" population, 140 million. The exports of the 49 Muslim countries are about $515.7 billion per annum, or 8% of the world total.
