  • DIRECTING the Disorder the CFR Is the Deep State Powerhouse Undoing and Remaking Our World

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.

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.

  • Racial Economic Inequality Amid the COVID-19 Crisis
    ESSAY 2020-17 | AUGUST 2020 Racial Economic Inequality Amid the COVID-19 Crisis Bradley L. Hardy and Trevon D. Logan i The Hamilton Project • Brookings MISSION STATEMENT The Hamilton Project seeks to advance America’s promise of opportunity, prosperity, and growth. The Project’s economic strategy reflects a judgment that long-term prosperity is best achieved by fostering economic growth and broad participation in that growth, by enhancing individual economic security, and by embracing a role for effective government in making needed public investments. We believe that today’s increasingly competitive global economy requires public policy ideas commensurate with the challenges of the 21st century. Our strategy calls for combining increased public investments in key growth-enhancing areas, a secure social safety net, and fiscal discipline. In that framework, the Project puts forward innovative proposals from leading economic thinkers — based on credible evidence and experience, not ideology or doctrine — to introduce new and effective policy options into the national debate. The Project is named after Alexander Hamilton, the nation’s first treasury secretary, who laid the foundation for the modern American economy. Consistent with the guiding principles of the Project, Hamilton stood for sound fiscal policy, believed that broad-based opportunity for advancement would drive American economic growth, and recognized that “prudent aids and encouragements on the part of government” are necessary to enhance and guide market forces. ii The Hamilton Project • Brookings Racial Economic Inequality Amid the COVID-19 Crisis Bradley L.

  • The US Imbalancing Act: Can the Current Account Deficit Continue?
    McKinsey Global Institute The US Imbalancing Act: Can the Current Account Deficit Continue? June 2007 McKinsey Global Institute The McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), founded in 1990, is McKinsey & Company’s economics research arm. MGI’s mission is to help business and government leaders develop a deeper understanding of the evolution of the global economy, and provide a fact-base that contributes to decision making on critical management and policy issues. MGI’s research is a unique combination of two disciplines: economics and management. By integrating these two perspectives, MGI is able to gain insights into the microeconomic underpinnings of the broad trends shaping the global economy. MGI has utilized this “micro-to-macro” approach in research covering over 15 countries and 28 industry sectors, on topics that include economic productivity, global economic integration, offshoring, capital markets, health care, energy, demographics, and consumer demand. MGI’s research is conducted by a group of full-time MGI Fellows based in offices in San Francisco, Washington, DC, London, and Shanghai and led by MGI’s director Diana Farrell. MGI project teams also include consultants drawn from McKinsey’s offices around the world, and are supported by McKinsey’s network of industry and management experts and worldwide partners. In addition, MGI teams work with leading economists, including Nobel laureates and policy experts, who act as advisors to MGI projects. MGI’s research is funded by the partners of McKinsey & Company and not commissioned by any business, government, or other institution. Further information about MGI and copies of MGI’s published reports can be found at www.mckinsey.com/mgi.

We expect an announcement on Director of the National Economic Council (not Senate confirmed) to come shortly, followed by other Cabinet heads in the coming weeks such as Attorney General, Commerce Secretary, HUD Secretary, DOL Secretary and US Trade Representative. Biden has nominated and appointed women to serve in key positions in his Administration, including the nomination of Janet Yellen to be Treasury Secretary. And while Biden continues to build out a Cabinet that “looks like America,” the Congressional Black Caucus, Congressional Hispanic Caucus and the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus continue to push for additional racial diversity at the Cabinet level.” Key appointments and nominations to the White House Senior Staff and economic and national security teams are included below, many of whom served in the Obama Administration (*).

  • How Is the Federal Government Organized with Respect to Influencing Child Hunger?
    How is the Federal Government Organized with Respect to Influencing Child Hunger? Edward M Cooney Executive Director Congressional Hunger Center April 13, 2011 The Congressional Hunger Center gratefully acknowledges the generous support of the ConAgra Foods Foundation for The CHILD Project (Children’s Hunger Initiative on Learning and Development) for which this paper was prepared. Introduction and Background What is the Role of Government in Addressing Child Hunger? Hubert Humphrey once said: “the moral test of government is how it treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, disabled and the handicapped”. This viewpoint captures how Congress and the Executive Branch of government (with a few notable exceptions) have viewed their role in addressing child hunger through the latter part of the 20th and early 21st century. America has a rich and bipartisan tradition of addressing the needs of its poor and hungry people. Perhaps President Nixon captured the essence of the paradox of hunger existing in a nation of great wealth and compassion when he said: “We don’t know just how many Americans are actually hungry and how many suffer from malnutrition, who eats enough and who doesn’t eat the right things. But we know that there are too many Americans in both categories. We can argue the extent of hunger. But hunger exists. We can argue its severity, but malnutrition exists! The plain fact is that a great many Americans are not eating well enough to sustain health” (1969 White House Conference on Food, Nutrition, and Health).

    Brian Deese’s Policy Record Hurt The Most Vulnerable From 2008 - 2016, Brian Deese rose from a law student to a Presidential advisor on fiscal policy, climate change, and trade.
