Executive Intelligence Review, Volume 15, Number 33, August 19 Unholy war plot joins Dukakis, Shultz, Russia Panama hosts Ibero-American unity talks Razing of rain forests upsets world climate Dukakis's mental health: an objective assessment "One of the most profound crises-and perhaps the most fundamental one-confronting the United states of America, is the catastrophic situation in our educational. institutions. Despairing parents have long recognized that the effects of America's broken-down educational system on students' capacity to think, are threatening to become as devastating as the drug plague. " An EIR S pecial Report The libertarian conspiracy to destroy America's schools Perhaps you think you "already know" about the crimes of the National Education Association. But do you know that our education system may now be one of the biggest threats to national security? This remarkable report takes up the defense of American education in the thoroughly documented, polemical style EtR is famous for. It was prepared by Carol White and Carol Cleary, who previously collaborated on the book, The New Dark Ages Conspiracy. It includes: • Documentation on how the National Education Association has, over decades, progressively rewritten public school curriculum to foster the amoral celebration of infantilism. The result: rampant illiteracy and a hideous paradig.m shift associated with the "me" generation, to such lifestyles as "free" love, homosexuality, pederasty, pornography, violence, and satanic cults. • The names of those who created the crisis and how they did it-facts which have not been published by other reports such as the one put out by the National Academy of Sciences, describing the collapse of U.S. education, particularly in the sciences. 152 pp. Order your copy today! • The alternative to this fast-approaching. dark age in culture: orienting Price: $250 education toward transmitting the classical heights of Western Judeo-Christian civilization.

  • Lee Atwater's Political Success Linked with Mass Communication Theory
    Lee Atwater's Political Success Linked with Mass Communication Theory How Atwater used the Magic Bullet, Agenda-setting, Priming, and Framing Theories to Achieve Political Success James Cochran University of North Alabama 12/1/2012 Lee Atwater's Campaign Success Derived from Mass Communication Theory Abstract Lee Atwater remains one of the most recognized political consultants in recent U.S. history. Having served on campaigns for prominent politicians such as Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush, Atwater preyed upon the emotion of voters by molding campaigns around "wedge issues." Atwater was able to use these issues to control voter response through four mass communication theories: magic bullet, agenda setting, priming and framing. Atwater effectively used these theories to lead his candidates to political success, leaving a lasting legacy of media mastery in his wake. Lee Atwater's Campaign Success Derived from Mass Communication Theory Main Body Introduction In the past, American politicians were required to run on merit, wit, and a great deal of craftiness. Campaigns were ground out through back-room deals, dependent upon obtaining grass roots support and occasionally won on issue-focused campaigns. Beginning in the early 20th century, the nature of the political campaign changed for good. Much of it began in 1933 when two Californians, Clem Whitaker and Leone Baxter founded the first political consulting firm, called Campaigns, Inc. In an article published by The New Yorker, Jill Lepore (2012) wrote, "Although Whitaker and Baxter, who founded a company called Campaigns, Inc. in 1933, were the first and the most influential political consultants in American history, they are very little known.

    THE MAN CARD: WHITE MALE IDENTITY POLITICS FROM NIXON TO TRUMP [TRANSCRIPT] WOLF BLITZER: Right now, a historic moment. We can now project the winner of the presidential race. CNN projects Donald Trump wins the presidency. JOE SCARBOROUGH: This was an earthquake unlike any earthquake I've really seen since Ronald Reagan in 1980. It just came out of nowhere. DONALD TRUMP: It's been what they call a historic event. NARRATOR: In 2016, Donald Trump pulled off one of the greatest upsets in American political history, defying both polls and pundits. JOHN ROBERTS: So help me, God. DONALD TRUMP: So help me, God. NARRATOR: Two explanations for his shocking victory dominated media coverage. One was economic and class anxiety. JAKE TAPPER: The Clinton campaign could see white working class voters going to Trump in places like Iowa and Ohio. NARRATOR: The other was racial and cultural anxiety. VAN JONES: This was a white-lash against a changing country. BAKARI SELLERS: We try to find these voters who are economic anxiety voters, but that is not what it is, Wolf. What it is is it's cultural anxiety. NARRATOR: While both explanations were legitimate, they only told part of the story. Yes, Trump won the white vote by a large margin. But a closer look inside the numbers revealed that it was white men in particular, who were most responsible for Trump's success. Trump not only won big with college educated and upper class white men. He won with a record setting margin with white working class men as well.

I knew we’d have someone out there yelling “read my lips”, and I did it because I thought it was right. And I made a mistake. George H. W. Bush 19 October19922 George H. W. Bush’s tax pledge to the 1988 Republican convention played a crucial role in winning the White House but subsequently resulted in a loss of credibility that undermined his presidency. This paper examines the consequences of the ‘no new taxes’ pledge from when it was first made in the New Hampshire primary election in January 1989 until the summer of June 1990 when George H. W. Bush (Bush) was compelled to renege on his promise in order to secure a budget agreement with Congress. By the end of his presidency, the tax pledge had become a metaphor for a failed economic policy.

    InterPositive Media presents BOOGIE MAN: The Lee Atwater Story Produced and Directed by Stefan Forbes Produced by Noland Walker and Tia Wou And featuring Ed Rollins, Michael Dukakis, Tucker Eskew, Howard Fineman, Mary Matalin, Sam Donaldson and others Running time: 86 minutes To download stills, film clips, and press notes: http://www.boogiemanfilm.com/PressKit/ "Can you understand American politics if you don't understand Lee Atwater? I believe not." - Tucker Eskew, Senior McCain/Palin Advisor Los Angeles Press: Nancy Willen, Acme PR 310.963.3433 [email protected] NY Press: John Murphy, Murphy PR Phone: 212-414-0408 [email protected] Washington, DC Press: Jamie Shor, Jody Arlington PR Collaborative 301.437.1533 [email protected] PRODUCTION NOTES Boogie Man is a surprising look at Lee Atwater, the blues-playing rogue whose rambunctious rise from the South to Chairman of the GOP made him a household name. He mentored Karl Rove and George W. Bush and played a crucial role in the elections of Reagan and George H.W. Bush. He wrote the Republican Party’s winning playbook which the McCain campaign is currently using. In eye-opening interviews with Atwater's closest friends and enemies, Boogie Man re-examines Atwater’s crucial role in the remaking of the Republican Party. To Democrats offended by his cutthroat style (to say nothing of the 1988 Willie Horton controversy), Atwater was a lying, race-baiting political assassin dubbed by one Congresswoman "the most evil man in America." But to most Republicans he remains a hero for his deep understanding of the American heartland, his expert manipulation of the media, his keen manipulation of class resentment and cultural wedge issues, and his unapologetic vision of politics as war.

  • Campaigns Against “Blackness”’: Criminality, Incivility, and Election to Executive Office
    CRS347139:Layout 1 10/9/2009 9:55 AM Page 1 Critical Sociology 36(1) 1-20 http://crs.sagepub.com ‘Campaigns against “Blackness”’: Criminality, Incivility, and Election to Executive Office Joy James University of Texas, USA Abstract ‘Campaigns against “Blackness”’ focuses on the 2008 Democratic presidential primary waged by Barack Obama and the 2006 Massachusetts gubernatorial race run by Deval Patrick. It explores racial bias expressed against and by African-American males seeking high office. In these campaigns, the convergence of racial uplift and multicultural democracy manifests in mandates against blackness represented as criminality and political incivility. Historically, US anti-black anima forged tropes of ‘criminality’ and ‘incivility’ that demonized blacks as unsuitable for full citizenship. Today, the new black candidates successfully deflect these tropes, in part, by redeploying them against non-elites, and anti-racist discourse and activism. Keywords Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Deval Patrick, Ben LaGuer, Kerry Healey Introduction: The New Black Candidate You are not to be so blind by patriotism that you can’t face reality. Malcolm X1 As US global hegemony falters, and economic debacles and failed military policies multiply, Americans witness the rise of successful black male candidates seeking high office. That the diminishment of US prestige and power transpires with the ‘blackening’ of American electoral leadership suggests difficult challenges in facing critiques of racial division and exclusion. Election campaigns that promise to restore legitimacy to the practice and perception of US imperial dominance illustrate how viable candidates – regardless of their experiential or ideological multiculturalism2 – avow a mono-culturalism that embraces Copyright © The Author(s), 2009.

The Nowhere Man When the "Miracle" Turned to Mush David Nyhan He didn 't steal money, go to jail, become embroiled in a personal scandal, or appoint a pack of thieves to high office, as other Massachusetts politicians have on occasion. But his fall was as dramatic as ifhe had done any or all of the above. From winning reelection in 1986 with 69 percent of the vote, then capturing the Democrats' presidential nomina- tion, his fortunes sank like a stone. Michael Stanley Dukakis, the stoic son of Greek immigrants , became a figure of ridicule in his third term. Thanks to the regional economy 's sharp recession and the lingering effects of the negative radiation he absorbed in the presidential campaign, Dukakis plum- meted in public esteem.
