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.

  • Us-Libya Claims Agreement - Background
    US-LIBYA CLAIMS AGREEMENT - BACKGROUND US State Department Press Release: On August 14, 2008, the United States and Libya signed a comprehensive claims settlement agreement in Tripoli. The agreement is designed to provide rapid recovery of fair compensation for American nationals with terrorism-related claims against Libya. It will also address Libyan claims arising from previous U.S. military actions. The agreement is being pursued on a purely humanitarian basis and does not constitute an admission of fault by either party. Rather, pursuant to the agreement an international Humanitarian Settlement Fund will be established in Libya to collect the necessary resources for the claims on both sides. No U.S. appropriated funds will be contributed, and any contributions by private parties will be voluntary. Each side will be responsible for distributing the resources it receives to its own nationals and to ensure the dismissal of any related court actions. The U.S. Congress has supported this initiative by passing the Libyan Claims Resolution Act, which was signed into law by the President on August 4. The law authorizes the Secretary of State to immunize the assets of the Humanitarian Settlement Fund so they will reach the intended recipients. The law also provides that Libya’s immunity from terrorism-related court actions will be restored when the Secretary of State certifies that the United States has received sufficient funds to pay the Pan Am 103 and La Belle Discotheque settlements and to provide fair compensation for American deaths and physical injuries in other pending cases against Libya. The resources under the agreement are expected to be sufficient to fulfill further purposes such as additional recoveries for death and physical injury because of special circumstances, claims for emotional distress, and terrorism-related claims by commercial parties.

Date: ……………………………………………. 2 | P a g e Abstract This thesis features two case studies exploring the George W. Bush Administration’s (2001 – 2009) efforts to promote democracy in the Arab world, following military occupation in Iraq, and through ‘democracy support’ or ‘democracy assistance’ in Lebanon. While reviewing well rehearsed arguments that emphasise the inappropriateness of the methods employed to promote Western liberal democracy in Middle East countries and the difficulties in the way of democracy being fostered by foreign powers, it focuses on two factors that also contributed to derailing the U.S.’s plans to introduce ‘Western style’ liberal democracy to Iraq and Lebanon.

  • PERSUADE OR PERISH Addressing Gaps in the U.S
    PERSUADE OR PERISH Addressing Gaps in the U.S. Posture to Confront Propaganda and Disinformation Threats Dr. Haroro J. Ingram Program on Extremism Policy Paper February 2020 PERSUADE OR PERISH 1 INGRAM | PROGRAM ON EXTREMISM Abstract: The purpose of this policy paper is to assess the U.S. government’s posture to deal with malicious ‘influence activities’ (i.e. propaganda and disinformation) by state and nonstate actors. It argues that while the U.S. government has provided inconsistent support for its foreign policy and national security information sector for decades, since 2017 an effort has been made to lay the foundations for a rejuvenated U.S. posture to address propaganda and disinformation threats. However, significant gaps remain that will weaken those foundation building efforts if left unaddressed. This paper concludes with four recommendations focusing on (i.) the need to learn lessons from the institutions’ history, (ii.) the value of an overarching paradigm through which to understand a spectrum of threats, (iii.) the important role of overt attributed U.S government messaging, and (iv.) initiatives to strategically cohere interagency activities. The United States and its allies are facing a complex spectrum of propaganda and disinformation threats that are rapidly evolving strategically, operationally, and technologically. 1 The U.S. government’s ability to address these malicious ‘influence activities’ will depend on its adoption of an appropriately balanced, resourced, and legislatively empowered posture that will be as much a product of institutional history as contemporary strategic-policy decisions. This policy paper assesses the U.S. government’s posture to deal with these threats and outlines ways in which strategic-policy gaps, drawn from this analysis, can be tackled.

  • Shapiro, Resisting Domination Across Borders
    Ian Shapiro, Politics Against Domination © Harvard University Press Chapter Six Resisting Domination Across Borders With world government off the table, how should we think about the place of national boundaries in resisting domination? The challenges are legion. Aggressive leaders unleash attacks to seize territory or subjugate populations, as Napoleon and Hitler sought to do in much of Europe, Saddam Hussein tried in Kuwait, and some believe Vladimir Putin hopes to do with nations comprising the former USSR. Secessionist movements push to dismember states. This can be straightforward and benign, as with Czechs and Slovaks, Scottish nationalists, and the Canadian Québécois. But separatists can harbor more unsettling plans. Catholics in Northern Ireland want to leave the United Kingdom, but they also want to reunite with the Irish Republic. Kurds in Iran, Iraq, and Turkey want to carve a Kurdish state out of those countries. Such aspirations inevitably conflict with other visions of national identity embraced by defenders of the status quo. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a paradigm, if chronic, illustration. There are many more peoples than nations, not to mention conflicting understandings of the aspirations of the same peoples. In much of the Middle East today, Sunnis and Shiites battle among themselves and with one another over whose account will prevail, just as Catholics and Protestants frequently did in seventeenth century Europe. The nation state system – any nation state system – is bound to collide with these realities. Sometimes, but only sometimes, people seek national boundary changes democratically. Scottish nationalists tried that unsuccessfully in 2014, but it can succeed. Czechs and Slovaks separated democratically in 1992.
