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.

  • The Environment and the FTAA: Caught in the Crossfire
    THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE FTAA: CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE YALE CENTER FOR ENVIRONMENTAL LAW AND POLICY Elizabeth Jenkins [email protected] January 2000 I. Introduction Growing acknowledgement of trade-environment linkages has given rise to considerable pressure for the inclusion of environmental issues in free trade agreements. An important step in this direction was taken in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), where the United States, Canada, and Mexico addressed a number of issues in the NAFTA text and dealt with other pollution and resource management issues in a “Side Agreement.”1 Although the environmental provisions of the NAFTA seem to have helped move collaborative environmental action in North America forward without causing trade disruptions, the launch of negotiations for a 34-nation Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) has been marked by considerable hostility to the trade-environment linkage. Pressure not to have a “parallel” trade discussion of environmental issues has come not only from the developing countries of the hemisphere, who are traditionally skeptical of environmental initiatives, but also from important quarters within the United States. The decision not to take up environmental issues in the FTAA bodes badly both for the environment and for the future treaty’s prospects of ratification in the United States. Neglecting to address transboundary pollution spillovers and the risk of over-exploitation of shared resources threatens market failures that will result in economic inefficiency, reduced gains from trade, and lower social welfare – not to mention environmental degradation.2 The recent difficulty in getting presidential “fast track” trade negotiating authority through the Congress suggests that trade proposals without an appropriate environmental dimension face tough sledding.3 This paper examines why the hostility toward the environment in the FTAA context has emerged within the United States.

  • 1 Statement of Robert J. Portman U.S. Trade Representative-Designate
    Statement of Robert J. Portman U.S. Trade Representative-designate before the Committee on Finance United States Senate April 21, 2005 Chairman Grassley, Ranking Member Baucus, and other members of the Finance Committee, I am honored to be before you as President Bush’s nominee to be our nation’s next United States Trade Representative. I have had the benefit of individual meetings with a number of Senators, including a majority of the Members of this Committee. We’ve had constructive discussions of trade policy issues and I am grateful for your input and time. As a member of the Ways and Means Committee, I have had the opportunity, as you have, to work closely with the office of the U.S. Trade Representative. Like you, I have raised issues with USTR from time to time. If confirmed, I will now experience that from the other side. In fact, I may even experience some of that today as a nominee. But I will tell you, whether it was Ambassador Mickey Kantor or Charlene Barshefsky in the Clinton Administration or Ambassador Bob Zoellick in the past four years, I have always been impressed with the professionalism, skill, and responsiveness of the USTR and the staff. I seek to follow in the footsteps of a bright and very capable negotiator, and a friend to many of us. I believe Bob Zoellick deserves great credit for the substantial progress the Administration has made, with your help, over the past four years. I hope to be able to work with you to build on that progress.
