What an amazing year this is, and what an amazing time to be a friend of Acadia National Park. One hundred years ago, Acadia National Park was conserved to ensure that its stunning beauty, natural wonders, and cultural treasures would be protected for the inspiration and enjoyment of all. This, together with subsequent efforts that created the Acadia we all love so dearly today, was the achievement of many individuals and families—people like you, who had been rejuvenated and inspired by Acadia’s unique coastal landscape. Throughout this year we are celebrating their foresight and generosity. At the same time, Acadia’s Centennial offers a challenge to us all to renew the passion and vision that is the founders’ legacy—to ensure that Acadia National Park is protected for generations to come. The Benefit Auction committee volunteers, headed by co-chairs Whitney Kroeger Connor and Elizabeth Seherr-Thoss, have taken up that challenge in planning this extra-special centennial event. We appreciate the volunteers, Benefit Patrons, and Business Sponsors who make the Benefit Auction possible. Special appreciation is due to the many artists, individuals, and businesses who contributed the auction items in this preview catalog. By participating in the Benefit Auction—by bidding on live or silent auction items at the event, bidding online until August 24, sending in an absentee bid, or by simply attending the event or making a donation in support of it—you will make a real and lasting difference in the protection of Acadia. We will use proceeds from the Benefit Auction to support new and ongoing programs in Acadia that protect natural and cultural resources, engage youth, and contribute to a quality visitor experience in the park. Funds contributed during this year’s Paddle Raise will help Acadia National Park and Friends of Acadia restore the Seaside Path, a very special Village Connector Trail, offering a nod to the past (by bringing back a rusticator-era route in Seal Harbor) and a look to the future (by helping to reduce auto congestion at Jordan Pond, one of the park’s busiest areas)—see details on page 10. We all are the “founders” of Acadia’s tomorrow. Through your purchases and your presence, you will help to create a brighter second century for our beloved park.

    DEEP STATE DIRECTING THE Disorder The CFR is the Deep State powerhouse undoing and remaking our world. 2 by William F. Jasper The nationalist vs. globalist conflict is not merely an he whole world has gone insane ideological struggle between shadowy, unidentifiable and the lunatics are in charge of T the asylum. 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. 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. Through all the fire and smoke we perceive the evidence of calculating organization.

  • This Week in Wall Street Reform January 10 – 16, 2015
    THIS WEEK IN WALL STREET REFORM JANUARY 10 – 16, 2015 We encourage you to forward this weekly compilation to friends and colleagues. To subscribe, email [email protected], with “This Week” in the subject line. THE ASSAULT ON DODD FRANK In New Congress, Wall St. Pushes to Undermine Dodd-Frank Reform Jonathan Weisman and Eric Lipton, New York Times, 1/14/15 In the span of a month, the nation’s biggest banks and investment firms have twice won passage of measures to weaken regulations intended to help lessen the risk of another financial crisis, setting their sights on narrow, arcane provisions and greasing their efforts with a surge of lobbying and campaign contributions… The financial industry has been methodical, drafting technically complicated legislation that can pass the heavily Republican House with a few Democratic votes. And then, once approved, it has pushed to tack such measures on to larger bills considered too important for the White House to block… “This all works together: Put it up for stand-alone vote, get some Democrats on it, and then when you push it onto a must-pass bill, say it’s a bipartisan bill that’s already passed,” said Marcus Stanley, policy director of Americans for Financial Reform, which favors tighter regulation of Wall Street. “The strategy on Dodd-Frank is death by a thousand cuts.” A Strategy in the Fight Over Dodd-Frank: Go Big Jesse Eisinger, New York Times, 1/14/15 Battling over each provision is the least favorable terrain for the pro-reform crowd. In a series of conversations I’ve had recently with Democratic strategists and reformists, an alternative is clear: Go big.

For over a quarter-century the Friends of Acadia Benefit Auction has provided essential support for programs that directly benefit Acadia National Park. From its memorable beginnings as a fine art sale at the Northeast Harbor Neighborhood House to last year’s 25th Anniversary, this has been a special event that strengthens the personal connection each of us feels for this magnificent place. Acadia is unique among national parks, having been created by private donations of land by farsighted individuals. The legacy of private support continues, and today the great majority of contributions for our work comes from people like you who treasure Acadia.

  • Mark Thoma, Is Donald Trump Right to Call NAFTA a ‘Disaster’?, CBS NEWS, Oct
    February 7, 2018 VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL USTR FOIA Office, GSD/RDF Attn: Chief FOIA Officer Janice Kaye Office of the U.S. Trade Representative Anacostia Naval Annex, Building 410/Door 123, 250 Murray Lane SW Washington, DC 20509 [email protected] Re: Freedom of Information Act Request Dear Ms. Kaye: Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. § 552, and the implementing regulations of the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), 15 C.F.R. Part 2004, American Oversight makes the following request for records. From the very beginning of his presidential campaign, Donald Trump made his disdain for NAFTA clear, pledging to “immediately renegotiate” the deal or even withdraw from it if necessary.1 Since taking office, President Trump has wavered on the proper approach, ultimately deciding to attempt to renegotiate the agreement before terminating it.2 Media reports suggest that those efforts to renegotiate have been less than smooth, with the U.S. making borderline unreasonable demands with little chances of success.3 1 See Vicki Needham, Trump Says He Will Renegotiate or Withdraw from NAFTA, THE HILL, June 28, 2016, http://thehill.com/policy/finance/285189-trump-says-he-will-renegotiate-or-withdraw- from-nafta-without-changes; Mark Thoma, Is Donald Trump Right to Call NAFTA a ‘Disaster’?, CBS NEWS, Oct. 5, 2015, https://www.cbsnews.com/news/is-donald-trump-right-to-call-nafta-a- disaster/. 2 See Kevin Liptak & Dan Merica, Trump Agrees ‘Not to Terminate NAFTA at this Time’, CNN, Apr. 27, 2017, http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/26/politics/trump-nafta/index.html; Kim Hjelmgaard, Trump Backtracks: U.S.
