  • Executive Order 13978 of January 18, 2021
    6809 Federal Register Presidential Documents Vol. 86, No. 13 Friday, January 22, 2021 Title 3— Executive Order 13978 of January 18, 2021 The President Building the National Garden of American Heroes By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows: Section 1. Background. In Executive Order 13934 of July 3, 2020 (Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes), I made it the policy of the United States to establish a statuary park named the National Garden of American Heroes (National Garden). To begin the process of building this new monument to our country’s greatness, I established the Interagency Task Force for Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes (Task Force) and directed its members to plan for construction of the National Garden. The Task Force has advised me it has completed the first phase of its work and is prepared to move forward. This order revises Executive Order 13934 and provides additional direction for the Task Force. Sec. 2. Purpose. The chronicles of our history show that America is a land of heroes. As I announced during my address at Mount Rushmore, the gates of a beautiful new garden will soon open to the public where the legends of America’s past will be remembered. The National Garden will be built to reflect the awesome splendor of our country’s timeless exceptionalism. It will be a place where citizens, young and old, can renew their vision of greatness and take up the challenge that I gave every American in my first address to Congress, to ‘‘[b]elieve in yourselves, believe in your future, and believe, once more, in America.’’ Across this Nation, belief in the greatness and goodness of America has come under attack in recent months and years by a dangerous anti-American extremism that seeks to dismantle our country’s history, institutions, and very identity.

  • George, Greg, Presentation Ending Ideology
    SEARCH Foundation (The Social Education, Action and Research Concerning Humanity Foundation): Home / Projects / Roundtables / First Roundtable / Brisbane / George, Greg, presentation: http://www.search.org.au/projects/roundtables/first-roundtable/brisbane/george-paper George, Greg, presentation Shared Values, Shared Future – Re‐imagining the Good Society Ending ideology: a free‐thinking civil society Brisbane, April 20, 2008 The overall theme of these Roundtables is ‘left renewal’. Responding to that I will argue: Drop once and for all the socialist goals, the utopian dreams, the manipulative theoretical modes, and the petty team spirit and group think. Recognise the positive core of the tradition we have come from which is the values. Value those values all the more in a society which for 25 years has been dominated by a rhetoric which disguises the undermining of values or explicitly attacks them in favour of a claimed faceless rationality. Drop the terms ‘left’ and ‘progressive’. The first is totally compromised with authoritarianism and totalitarianism. The second is misleading since much of what we do defends against invidious reform and change. Instead identify ourselves as part of civil society and replace left style with practical modes appropriate to that civil society. Social democracy self-immolated in the flames of market ideology. The ALP is using manipulative language, like ‘working families’, and language, such as ‘social inclusion’ and ‘social exclusion’, which can be used either manipulatively or to advance social justice. It is up to us to push the interpretations which will recover social democracy. Our values Last year I did an online exhibition for the University of Queensland Library on New Left activism on that campus.
