  • The Sleaze Factor in the Democratic Party
    Click here for Full Issue of EIR Volume 11, Number 27, July 17, 1984 �TImSpecialReport The sleaze factor in the Democratic Party by Kathleen Klenetsky . To anyone familiar with the seamier side of U.S. politics, the Democratic Party's disclosure that it is making the so-called sleaze factor in the Republican Party a major theme of the 1984 presidential campaign must have provoked gales of laughter. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! As we will document in this report, the current leaders of the Democratic hierarchy, emphatically including Democratic National Committee chairman Charles Manatt, Walter Mondale, and Gary Hart, operate as assets of the interna­ tional organized-crime syndicate which controls the multibillion-dollar global drug trade, the child porn industry, prostitution, and the lucrative illegal traffic in arms, gold, and diamonds. This network includes all the "big names" of internationalcrime, from Robert Vesco and Bernie Cornfeld of the Investors Overseas Services (lOS) swindle and Tibor Rosenbaum's Banque du Credit International, through Meyer Lansky's Resorts International and Permindex, the organization behind the assassination of John F. Kennedy. As EIR has previously documented, these criminal networks interface directly with the major banking centers in Switzerland, London, and New York, and collaborate on a regular basis with the Soviet Union's massive "underworld" activities. A major component of the Democratic Party-organized crime nexus is the Anti-Defamation League of B 'Nai B'Rith. Ostensibly established to protect Jews from anti-Semitism, the ADL actually serves as a cover for organized crime. Between the years 1971 and 1976 alone, several leading ADL officials and ADL­ affiliated institutions have been brought before state and federal authorities for crimes of embezzlement and related offenses involving in aggregate over $150 million.

  • Declaration on Civility and Inclusive Leadership
    DeclarPages08_finalALTS:Layout 1 4/25/08 11:32 AM Page 1 CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF THE PRESIDENCY Declaration on Civility and Inclusive Leadership THIRD EDITION he coming years demand greatness from our nation’s leaders and our citizens, as we navigate the significant domestic and international challenges that threaten our nation’s security and long-term prosperity. The difficulty of this task is magnified by our country’s political divisions, for today we are too much a house divided. Yet, if we unite to turn challenges into opportunities and pursue common goals, we surely will write another great chapter in America’s history. Civility and inclusive leadership are proven means of bridging political divisions and forging national unity and commitment. National resolve and unity of purpose are essential for marshalling the best talent, regardless of party affiliation, and are the elements required to develop a strategic consensus on the way forward. Civility does not require citizens to give up cherished beliefs or “dilute” their convictions. Rather, it requires respect, listening, and trust when interacting with those who hold differing viewpoints. Indeed, civility and inclusive leadership have often been exercised in the American experience as a means of moving to higher, common ground and developing more creative approaches to realize shared aspirations. Accordingly, the National Committee to Unite a Divided America strongly urges America’s leaders to draw strength and wisdom from our nation’s greatest achievements arising from inclusiveness

Their internal revenue in 2007 was A $242 million Chairman of the California State Democratic Party National political life In 1981, Manatt became the national chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and oversaw and executed the 1984 party convention, nominating former Vice President Walter Mondale of Minnesota for President, and New York congresswoman Geraldine A. Ferraro, making history as that marked the first time a woman was a major party nominee. The convention took place from July 16-19, 1984 in Moscone Center, San Francisco. The permanent chairman that year was Martha Layne Collins of Kentucky. Mondale was chosen on the first ballot. That year, the keynote speaker on the first evening of the convention was Governor Mario Cuomo of New York. Although the convention was considered a great success, the Mondale-Ferraro ticket could not get traction against the popularity of then-president and Republican Ronald Reagan and Vice President George H. W. Bush. In 1987, he chaired Illinois Sen. Paul Simon's presidential campaign and in 1992 he co-chaired the Clinton/Gore presidential campaign. [2] Later Life At the time of his death Manatt resided in Washington, D.C. where he helped run and work at his law firm, and was engaged in numerous civic activities. He had a granddaugther and grandson, Victoria and Patrick, the children of his daughter Michele Manatt, a former U.S.
