Support Our Troops Holiday Project by Jamie Critchfield The Freedom Alliance Support Our Troops program is a year-round outreach to honor and support members of our armed forces - those who were wounded in Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom and recuperating at U.S. military hospitals throughout the United States - as well as those currently serving on the front lines.

Over 700 pounds of gift packages were sent to sol- diers, sailors, airmen, guardsmen and Marines serving in Iraq over the holidays. Freedom Alliance “adopted” four military families and delivered Christmas gifts to them. These brave men were injured in the war and their families were burdened with financial difficulties upon their return. Among the families “adopted,” was a Marine family of five children in Pennsylvania, who had their Christmas wishes fulfilled when Freedom Alliance provided games, toys and a big screen TV, which the family requested for their visually dis- abled daughter. Freedom Alliance Director of Donor Relations Jane Barnett, wraps Christmas gifts for “adopted” military families. On Christmas morning, Freedom Alliance President Tom Kilgannon and his family visited Walter Reed Army Medical Center to deliver hundreds of holiday greeting cards and gifts, including gift bags donated by Bank of America Business Banking, in Fairfax, Virginia, to show our Brave Defenders of Freedom that grateful Americans are thinking of them.

Georgia law provided for a runoff if no candidate in the regularly scheduled November 3 general election received in excess of 50 percent of the vote. The 1992 runoff in Georg a was a hotly contested race between the Democratic incumbent Wyche Fowler, and his Republican opponent, Paul Coverdell.

    HOLLYWOOD'S WAR ON THE WORLD: THE NEW WORLD ORDER AS MOVIE Scott Forsyth Introduction 'Time itself has got to wait on the greatest country in the whole of God's universe. We shall be giving the word for everything: industry, trade, law, journalism, art, politics and religion, from Cape Horn clear over to Smith's Sound and beyond too, if anything worth taking hold of turns up at the North Pole. And then we shall have the leisure to take in the outlying islands and continents of the earth. We shall run the world's business whether the world likes it or not. The world can't help it - and neither can we, I guess.' Holroyd, the American industrialist in Joseph Conrad, Nostromo, 1904. 'Talk to me, General Schwartzkopf, tell me all about it.' Madonna, singing 'Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend,' Academy Awards Show, 1991. There is chilling continuity in the culture of imperialism, just as there is in the lists of its massacres, its gross exploitations. It is there in the rhetoric of its apologists - from Manifest Destiny to Pax Britannica to the American Century and now the New World Order: global conquest and homogenisa- tion, epochal teleologies of the most 'inevitable' and determinist nature imaginable, the increasingly explicit authoritarianism of political dis- course, the tension between 'ultra-imperialism' and nationalism, both of the conquerors and the conquered. In this discussion, I would like to consider recent American films of the Reagan-Bush period which take imperialism as their narrative material - that is, America's place in the global system, its relations with diverse peoples and political forces, the kind of America and the kind of world which are at stake.

  • Film, Politics, and Ideology: Reflections on Hollywood Film in the Age of Reagan* Douglas Kellner (
    Film, Politics, and Ideology: Reflections on Hollywood Film in the Age of Reagan* Douglas Kellner (http://www.gseis.ucla.edu/faculty/kellner/) In our book Camera Politica: Politics and Ideology in Contemporary Hollywood Film (1988), Michael Ryan and I argue that Hollywood film from the 1960s to the present was closely connected with the political movements and struggles of the epoch. Our narrative maps the rise and decline of 60s radicalism; the failure of liberalism and rise of the New Right in the 1970s; and the triumph and hegemony of the Right in the 1980s. In our interpretation, many 1960s films transcoded the discourses of the anti-war, New Left student movements, as well as the feminist, black power, sexual liberationist, and countercultural movements, producing a new type of socially critical Hollywood film. Films, on this reading, transcode, that is to say, translate, representations, discourses, and myths of everyday life into specifically cinematic terms, as when Easy Rider translates and organizes the images, practices, and discourses of the 1960s counterculture into a cinematic text. Popular films intervene in the political struggles of the day, as when 1960s films advanced the agenda of the New Left and the counterculture. Films of the "New Hollywood," however, such as Bonnie and Clyde, Medium Cool, Easy Rider, etc., were contested by a resurgence of rightwing films during the same era (e.g. Dirty Harry, The French Connection, and any number of John Wayne films), leading us to conclude that Hollywood film, like U.S. society, should be seen as a contested terrain and that films can be interpreted as a struggle of representation over how to construct a social world and everyday life.

The letter concerns a complaint by American Democracy Legal Fund (ADLF) alleging that Russian nationals "funnel[e(Q foreign funds through the NRA" in connection with the 2016 elections—specifically, it would seem, the presidential election—and/or "partic^ted in the NRA's decision-making process regarding election-related activities" in connecdon with the same election. For the reasons set forth below, ADLF's allegations are meritless, and no furtiier action should be taken in this MUK The complaint is based on tank speculation, sensationalized reporting, and ignorance of the NRA's stmcture and internal operations. It is devoid of any evidence concerning key elements of the violations it asserts, so much so that no response £com the NRA should be necessary to secure its dismissal with a finding of no reason to believe that a violation occurred.
