President Reagans Program to Secure US Leadership Indefinitely President Reagan’s Program to Secure U.S. Leadership Indefinitely: Project Socrates How All Americans Can Participate and Reap the Benefits By Ervin Ackman Edited by E. Elizabeth Brown Copyright 2013 Ervin Ackman Smashwords Edition, License Notes This eBook is licensed for your personal enjoyment and may not be resold. Thank you for respecting the hard work of this author. 2 Prologue Thank you for reading this book. It is essential reading for all who watch in wonder as a once great nation declines. Unfortunately that part of what is happening is not unique as societies throughout history follow a predictable cycle from birth, peak, downfall and demise. The story of Project Socrates illustrates the genius in humanity, capable of changing that cycle, but stymied by a seemingly built-in predisposition toward self-destruction. In net, humanity has tended to move forward, but this resistant counterforce unduly prolongs the process and makes it unnecessarily painful as societies come and go. Keeping the book current is a constant process as the world rapidly changes while System Socrates operates in real time. Recently, as I was getting the news of the day, I read an article from Financial Times: Does size matter? China poised to overtake US as world’s largest economy in 2014, by Jamil Anderlini.1 The article uses a report from the International Comparison Program of the World Bank estimating that China will overtake the US as the world’s largest economy this year, 2014. The article also states that the US has been the largest economy since 1872, a fact that may surprise many. China’s surge ahead of the US is several years ahead of previous estimates by economic experts. Many will say that this was inevitable and not to worry. Or it’s old news, so what? But neither was it inevitable and there is definitely a need to worry. Our country must continue to be the model for the world, not China or any other country, especially one whose government is designed to “control” rather than “unleash” human capability. I was at a neighborhood gathering not long ago and someone asked about my book. That started a rather long discussion occupying most of the evening. Where I was not surprised by some of the comments and reactions to one major topic of the book, US decline, the acceptance and overall cavalier attitude about our countries demise continues to bother me. This attitude toward our country by the people who stand to gain or lose is a major threat discussed at length toward the end of the book in the section titled, “The Internal Threat.” US citizens must wake-up and go back to the job of being as much as we can be. Our country was designed to unleash human capability, the essence of leadership. For US citizens that design has made the country great, provided a safe environment and opportunities no other society has ever had. This was a culture that thought nothing was impossible. For the first time in the history of humankind, every individual throughout our entire society at every level had the capability to fulfill his or her total potential. To some, including me, that is the purpose of life. The capability of this country with that design is unlimited, but I fear that the attitude needed to preserve that capability may be considered passé in today’s America. I hope I am wrong but a recent poll published in 1 Jamil Anderlini, Does Size Matter? China poised to overtake US as world’s largest economy in 2014, Financial Times, 30 April 2014 3 CNNMoney suggest otherwise. The results of the poll conducted by ORC International found that 60% of Americans believe the “American Dream is out of reach.”2 This decline in the confidence of our citizens about the future of America did not have to happen. Socrates was the solution specifically developed and deployed during the Reagan administration over three decades ago to ensure US leadership and the opportunity, we call the American Dream, is here indefinitely. But as you will learn, Socrates was unceremoniously terminated shortly after Ronald Reagan left office. Because of this shortsightedness our country resumed its decline that started shortly after WWII and which Socrates was specifically built to address. Before you move on into the incredible story of Project Socrates, I have a disclaimer. The editors have told me that what I am about to say next is not a good thing to do but it’s in my nature, right or wrong. That is, I wish to apologize for not being a professional writer and hope that my writing style does not detract from the messages in this book that are so important for everyone to hear. With that said, I promise to continue to improve with each update. And I am already preparing to write another book about the “second founders.” The current plan is to support the deployment of Socrates Generation-3 around the world and eventually in the US, as our country’s attitude about our survival becomes more realistic. The second founders are those visionary leaders already beginning to assemble around this undertaking, Operation US Forward. These committed souls will be instrumental in leading the revival of our country, the second founding, through the deployment of Socrates. In the meantime please read on: Learn how a team of US patriots led by a young intelligence officer and physicist, Michael Sekora, developed and deployed the system they called Socrates to save their declining country. Against all odds in a hostile environment of vicious US government officials bent on protecting their personal political interests, Sekora and the Socrates team would usher in the next evolutionary step for mankind, the Automated Innovation Revolution. See how one key supporter, President Ronald Reagan, saw the power of Project Socrates and set the process in place through executive order that would permanently establish the US as the single superpower with ability to out-compete all competitors, commercially and militarily, in any market or battleground, at will. But Reagan issued that executive order late in his second term. The incoming Bush administration immediately rescinded it, and Socrates, as Reagan and Sekora envisioned it, was all but finished. Understand though, how Sekora kept the vision alive and is once again leading Operation US Forward with Socrates Generation-3 system at the center that will take on all competitors and adversaries to power US and allies’ economic growth, job creation, foreign trade, and national defense to unimaginable heights. 2 Tami Luhby, The American Dream is out of reach, CNN, 4 June 2014 4 Socrates Generation-3 goes beyond mitigation of current issues providing the way to win the fight over world hunger, eradicate diseases, solve the world’s energy problems, avoid wars, and uplift all of humankind. What will anger Americans most and disappoint our allies who have depended on us for leadership, is the fact that the tailspin in which we find ourselves today, is a prolonged and unnecessarily painful process that would have been avoided if President George H. W. Bush had only executed Reagan’s order. 5 Table of Contents Prologue ...................................................................................................................................... 3 A Brief Primer ........................................................................................................................ 10 Synopsis ............................................................................................................................................. 10 Key Terms and Definitions .......................................................................................................... 10 Planning ............................................................................................................................................................ 12 Finance-Based Planning ............................................................................................................................ 13 Technology-Based Planning .................................................................................................................... 14 Competitive Advantage ............................................................................................................................. 15 Competitiveness ........................................................................................................................................... 15 Technology ...................................................................................................................................................... 15 Strategy ............................................................................................................................................................. 16 Technologyspace .......................................................................................................................................... 18 Technology Strategy ................................................................................................................................... 18 Technology Acquisition and Utilization ............................................................................................. 19 Maneuvering in the Technologyspace ................................................................................................. 19 Cross-Pollination .......................................................................................................................................... 20 Why This Book Exists .........................................................................................................

    A Legal and Economic Critique of President Trump’s China Trade Policies Daniel C.K. Chow, Ian Sheldon, William McGuire Public Law and Legal Theory Working Paper Series No. 393 April 19, 2017 This working paper series is co-sponsored by the Center for Interdisciplinary Law and Policy Studies at the Moritz College of Law This paper can be downloaded without charge from the Social Science Research Network: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2955105 Electronic copy available at: https://ssrn.com/abstract=2955105 A LEGAL AND ECONOMIC CRITIQUE OF PRESIDENT TRUMP’S CHINA TRADE POLICIES Daniel C.K. Chow, William McGuire, Ian Sheldon University of Pittsburgh Law Review (forthcoming 2018) _______________________ The administration of President Donald J. Trump has warned that it supports an aggressive across the board tariff of 45% on all imports from China to neutralize the effects of China’s currency manipulation. However, such a tariff cannot withstand an economic and legal analysis. Fundamental economic principles indicate that China’s alleged currency devaluation cannot create a real long-term trade advantage and that the effects of currency devaluation have no real effect on the U.S.-China trade balance. Not only is currency manipulation not a cause of the U.S. trade deficit with China but the proposed remedy of a draconian 45% tariff will only create a grievous self-inflicted wound on the U.S. and global economy. From a legal perspective, a 45% tariff cannot be justified under the legal regime of the World Trade Organization as such a tariff runs afoul of the tightly regulated regime of authorized trade sanctions.

  • ENEMY CONSTRUCTION and the PRESS Ronnell Andersen Jones* & Lisa Grow Sun†
    ENEMY CONSTRUCTION AND THE PRESS RonNell Andersen Jones* & Lisa Grow Sun† ABSTRACT When the President of the United States declared recently that the press is “the enemy,” it set off a firestorm of criticism from defenders of the institutional media and champions of the press’s role in the democracy. But even these Trump critics have mostly failed to appreciate the wider ramifications of the President’s narrative choice. Our earlier work describes the process of governmental “enemy construction,” by which officials use war rhetoric and other signaling behaviors to convey that a person or institution is not merely an institution that, although wholly legitimate, has engaged in behaviors that are disappointing or disapproved, but instead an illegitimate “enemy” triggering a state of Schmittian exceptionalism and justifying the compromise of ordinarily recognized liberties. The Trump administration, with a rhetoric that began during the campaign and burgeoned in the earliest days of Donald Trump’s presidency, has engaged in enemy construction of the press, and the risks that accompany that categorization are grave. This article examines the fuller components of that enemy construction, beyond the overt use of the label. It offers insights into the social, technological, legal, and political realities that make the press ripe for enemy construction in a way that would have been unthinkable a generation ago. It then explores the potential motivations for and consequences of enemy construction. We argue that enemy construction is particularly alarming when the press, rather than some other entity, is the constructed enemy. Undercutting the watchdog, educator, and proxy functions of the press through enemy construction leaves the administration more capable of delegitimizing other institutions and constructing other enemies—including the judiciary, the intelligence community, immigrants, and members of certain races or religions—because the viability and traction of counter-narrative is so greatly diminished.

  • Chapter 1-The Man Behind Socrates
    Chapter 1 The Man Behind Socrates The First Meeting With Michael Sekora I have been a management consultant most of my career specializing first in Organization Development (OD) and later in Organization Change Management (OCM). My first experience in OCM occurred way back in the late 1980s and early 1990s before it was even called organization change management. In 2006 I volunteered to help the State of Texas examine an important economic development program, Texas Emerging Technology Fund. The Texas Emerging Technology Fund (ETF) was approaching its first anniversary and needed a full evaluation for continued funding. I worked with the staff of the Texas Senate Chair of the Oversight Committee. It took several months going through the assessment process before presenting my findings in oral testimony and written report. The Texas Governor’s Office sponsored and managed ETF. A few weeks after I submitted the findings I met with a member of the Texas Governor’s Office to go over the recommendations. One of my recommendations particularly stood out to him. That recommendation involved an addition to the existing ETF project selection process that would focus on emerging technology from a demand perspective in addition to ETFs supply focus design. To support a demand centered approach we would integrate the powerful computers at the University of Texas (UT). The UT computers would automate the technology acquisition and utilization process and produce a competitive planning and execution tool based on the economic, social and political needs (demand) of Texas. The automated process would first identify the social, economic and political growth and advancement needs of the Texas eco-system from a competitive perspective.

Structural realism has long held that variation among individual policymakers has little impact on the behavior of states compared to structural features of theD international system, such as the distribution of power.1 Almost all other research programs, including classical and neoclassical realism and constructivism, by contrast, hold that policymakers’ beliefs exert a significant and independent influence.2 Trump’s election is almost tailor-made as a test case for these longstanding academic disputes between partisans of Kenneth Waltz’s first and third “images.”3 Trump’s ideology is a departure from that of any American president for at least a century, if not longer. And Trump does have an ideology. Some observers, including President Barack Obama, having rightly observed that Trump is not a conservative, wrongly conclude that he has no discernable ideology at all.
