Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Categorize the news article into one of the 2 categories: True False Input: at age thomas c davis should be enjoying all the perks of a long and distinguished career at the pinnacle of wall street and the texas business elite these include golfing at the prestigious dallas country club and preston trail golf club where he was a member trips to las vegas and golf tournaments on the private jet he and fractional ownership of two professional sports teams the texas rangers and the dallas stars what he faces instead is the prospect of years or more in federal prison and millions of dollars in fines last month mr davis pleaded guilty to felonies for a brazen insider trading scheme in which he leaked a stream of confidential information about the dean foods while he served as the company s chairman when questioned by agents from the federal bureau of investigation in and lawyers from the securities and exchange commission last year he lied compounding his securities fraud by committing perjury and after the f b i agents left he took a prepaid cellular phone he had used to leak the information and threw it into a creek near his dallas home destroying evidence and obstructing justice mr davis s crimes have received relatively little attention in part because of the blaze of publicity that accompanied the flamboyant professional sports gambler william t walters who was accused of being his and the masters golf champion phil mickelson mr mickelson wasn t charged but netted nearly million from the dean foods tips and agreed to forfeit the proceeds plus interest mr walters pleaded not guilty last week to felony counts what led to mr davis s actions his plea hearing coupled with the s e c and criminal complaints and interviews with people who know him offer some clues for one thing mr davis was so desperate for money he even took from a charity according to the s e c mr davis ran a charity that raised money for a dallas shelter for battered women and children the charity tax records show was shelter golf inc which held an annual golf tournament at preston trail to benefit genesis women s shelter support the event typically raised over and after expenses contributed about a year to genesis mr davis was a and trustee of shelter golf the golf legend lanny wadkins was one of five other trustees according to the s e c in august mr davis told his assistant to write him a check for on the charity s account which he then used to cover an overdraft in his personal checking account of this check resulted in a significant shortfall in the amount available for donation to the battered women s shelter the s e c said in its complaint davis first delayed the charity s donation to the shelter and later wrote a check for a partial amount only after prompting by the shelter leader and promising another by the end of the shelter s fiscal year mr davis eventually repaid the using money he had obtained as part of the insider trading scheme many of his former colleagues on wall street were stunned by the charges against the distinguished mr davis a harvard business school graduate and a navy veteran who in contrast to mr walters and mr mickelson both known gamblers was seen as a pillar of the business establishment in addition to his long tenure on the dean foods board culminating in being named chairman in mr davis served on at least nine other corporate boards including triton energy suiza foods and the colonial bank now owned by bbt financial he was chief executive of the concorde group and a founder of bluffview capital both investment firms before that he was a managing partner at donaldson lufkin jenrette where he was head of banking and corporate finance for the southwestern united states and handled many mergers and acquisitions he left after credit suisse acquired the firm in as someone actively involved throughout his career in confidential deals mr davis would have been acutely aware of insider trading law this was a shock said john c coffee jr a professor and expert on insider trading at columbia law school who has written about the failure to charge mr mickelson he of all people should have known better but the annals of insider trading are filled with people who knew better from ivan boesky to rajat gupta what s perplexing is their motives like mr davis they were already rich and successful beyond most people s dreams at his plea hearing last month mr davis said he knew that his actions were wrong and unlawful but otherwise shed little light on why he turned to insider trading but clearly he needed money despite his years of bonuses as a highly paid investment banker and his lucrative directors fees according to the s e c s complaint by april mr davis was in desperate financial straits he owed the i r s his brokerage account was heavily margined and he had run up tens of thousands in credit card debt he owed to one of his investment funds mr davis sought salvation in gambling and in mr walters whom he met decades earlier on a golf course the two often played together especially when they were both living in southern california the insider trading scheme began around june when mr davis tipped mr walters to dean foods coming earnings it isn t clear who came up with the idea but mr walters an active investor often expressed an interest in how dean foods was doing there was no explicit agreement for mr davis to share in any proceeds from mr walters s trading rather as mr davis put it at his plea hearing i expected that i would receive personal benefits in the form of business opportunities and a potential source of capital as professor coffee put it this is a perfect example of a favor bank which is exactly how wall street works however vague the terms of their deal they clearly knew that what they were doing was wrong mr walters gave mr davis a prepaid cellular phone for use when conveying inside information and told him to use the code dallas cowboys when referring to dean foods the government asserted mr davis finally came knocking in april when he met with mr walters in las vegas and asked for money mr walters arranged a loan of which solved the immediate demands of the i r s and his investment firm but his spending continued in just one month march mr davis ran up gambling losses of at one las vegas casino he owed for the private jet and he had to cover the he had taken from the charity the overdraft had occurred when the casino cashed in his markers after mr davis failed to make good on the gambling losses this time mr walters guaranteed a line of credit for mr davis who promptly drew down of it and mr davis repaid mr walters s loan with interest mr davis ultimately received over million in loans from mr walters most never repaid as it turned out that was a pittance compared to the million in profit mr walters reportedly reaped from mr davis s tips a sum mr davis learned of only in the course of the investigation despite mr davis s reputation as a skilled deal maker that will surely rank as one of the worst insider trading deals in history and it may help explain why mr davis is now cooperating with the government against mr walters a lawyer for mr davis thomas m melsheimer at fish richardson in dallas declined to comment the government has shed little light on mr davis s motive other than that he needed money the s e c said he did little to adjust his expensive lifestyle after leaving credit suisse in he experienced a sharp drop in his income went through an expensive divorce soon after and suffered big investment reversals during the financial crisis none of that is a crime mr davis is hardly alone in trying to maintain the illusion of wealth and prosperity even as his personal finances veered out of control but after a lifetime of success mr davis was too proud and too embarrassed to admit any of this and turn to his wealthy friends and fellow golf club members though many would have been willing to help according to a person close to him this person and others insisted on anonymity because the situation involved a pending criminal matter some people would risk anything rather than suffer that kind of personal embarrassment professor coffee said and once you ve decided you re willing to risk anything you can get into deep deep trouble

president the preferences of the american people have only a marginal if any impact upon the selection of the person to occupy that post in colorado s republican race to win delegates to the republican national convention for selecting the republican presidential nominee there was no primary and there was no caucus as the republican magazine national review headlined on april attempting to justify what a republican wag had just headlined as cruz celebrates voterless win donald trump laid a colorado goose egg because he was disorganized and amateurish their argument since they campaign for any republican but trump was he lost because he was disorganized and amateurish not because he had been cheated by the party hierarchy national review explained that in the process which had been set up by the colorado republican party it s set up by each individual state s republican party not by the national republican party delegates to the national convention would be selected at congressional district conventions and the republican s state convention and this was done in order to give colorado s delegates more flexibility not done in order to require delegates to reflect the republican or any other electorate in colorado since nr doesn t like even its own party s electorate this was the explanation that was provided by that magazine which backs cruz and which has been campaigning ferociously against trump their article was built upon and extensively quoted the justifications put forth by one particular cruz delegate who said the grassroots made the decision that ted cruz was the best candidate for us and the grassroots made the decision to come out for cruz and absolutely swept the table he called it our caucus system whatever it was it shut out all rank and file republican voters and left everything to people like himself who could afford to do this you have to put in the work you have to put in the effort and you have to do it months ahead of time in other words only republican party activists in colorado could participate in selecting the delegates who would participate in selecting the republican nominee no one else was allowed to their conception of the colorado republican party is that it s only the party s activists and if you re not a republican activist you have no say it s as if to say only people who work in the government can have a say in how the government is to be run it s for insiders only and of course indirectly it s for whomever pays those insiders and so enables them to put in the work to participate national public radio had a different take on this matter steve inskeep headlined there gop delegate trump primary wins absolutely irrelevant at convention he interviewed curly haughland a member of the republican national committee who lives in north dakota and who said no matter what the popular belief might be there is no connection between primaries and the actual convention well that s putting it rather bluntly haughland also said cited the gop s convention rules and he interprets these convoluted rules to mean that delegates may vote their conscience the rules do not explicitly say this rule is a detailed explanation of the procedure for roll call votes however rule does say that no delegate may be bound by the unit rule meaning that delegates from a state can t all be forced to vote the same way another of haughland s points is indisputable when the convention convenes he said the delegates adopt their own rules which haven t been adopted yet there is a standard template for conventions but delegates could tweak the template changing the game in any way that they want in other words the national republican committee says that all of the delegates to the republican national convention are allowed to tweak the template changing the game in any way that they want so the delegates at that convention won t actually be representing anyone but themselves there they are entirely free to push for anyone whom they personally want to win the republican u s presidential nomination they re not bound not even on the first ballot they might pretend to be if they feel a need to put on a show that looks democratic but any who don t feel the need to make such a pretense can do whatever they want on the first ballot just like on any successive ballot they are free all of them are free it s only the electorate who aren t they re not represented at all what about on the democratic side wyoming had held its democratic party caucuses on april and there really were caucuses two days later cnn headlined wyoming democratic caucuses bernie sanders picks up another win and reported bernie sanders won the wyoming democratic caucuses saturday providing his campaign with one more jolt of momentum before the race against hillary clinton heads east even so he made no gains in clinton s delegate lead as each earned seven delegates as a result on april a youtube video was posted msnbc morning host admits the whole voting system is rigged after bernie get s cheated here the co hosts had a conversation about the results sanders beat hillary clinton by twelve points to he wins by twelve points the accompanying image showed the delegate count in this contest that sanders had won by to total hillary clinton bernie sanders it wasn t to after all though sanders had outscored clinton by it was worse than even steven for him he had actually lost by delegates to delegates this system is so rigged said one host there s absolutely no reason any of those people voted said the other a hillary clinton supporter was the expert on the panel and he said it s not rigged these are the rules he wasn t given time to explain that fine point or how the rules were necessarily not rigged also on april public radio international s todd zwillich headlined falsely six reasons bernie sanders won wyoming but still tied in the delegate race and zwillig failed to explain that word tied he opened how many of you ask could bernie have won wyoming percent to hillary s percent but still split the delegates with her then he repeated that there had supposedly been the split but he also said wyoming has a total of delegates which obviously isn tthe sum of and he was also likewise incoherent all the way through maybe the rules in the wyoming democratic party are like that but whatever they are is so convoluted america s news media couldn t explain what they were much less were they able to argue persuasively that this was somehow a democracy the only thing that s clear is that the electoral system in the united states is so convoluted so complex and so different from state to state and party to party that whatever the intent of the writers of america s constitution might have been the system as it is today can be successfully gamed and won only by interests who can afford to spend whatever billions of dollars are necessary in order to win it s certainly anything but democratic right now according to realclear politics there are only two presidential candidates who are shown repeatedly and almost consistently to be preferred by the majority of the u s electorate the democrat bernie sanders is strongly preferred over the republicans trump and cruz and he is barely preferred over the republican kasich and the republican kasich is strongly preferred over the democrat clinton clinton loses strongly to kasich and barely beats cruz while trump is the weakest general election candidate of all the strongest general election candidates are clearly sanders in the democratic party and kasich in the republican party in a democracy those would be the candidates throughout the contest thus far neither of these two has been favored likely to win his respective party s nomination much less the presidency whatever america is it isn t a democracy a one person one vote majority rule republic in fact the only scientific study that has ever been done of the u s political system finds that it s no democracy at all but instead an oligarchy a nation ruled by its aristocracy its billionaires it represents them not the citizenry that might not be the theory but empirically it is the fact an oligarchy is the commonest type of dictatorship and it certainly is never a benevolent dictatorship even if that phrase is not an oxymoron in itself to sum up the u s is ruled by and for the corrupters it has been like that since at least investigative historian eric zuesse is the author most recently of they re not even close the democratic vs republican economic records and of christ s ventriloquists the event that created christianity read more us election news at century wire election files

unveiled on wednesday morning new york s next significant landmark may be the city s biggest rorschach test too big bold and the structure vessel stands stories weighs tons and is filled with climbable steps long under wraps it is the creation of thomas heatherwick an acclaimed and controversial british designer and will rise in the mammoth far west side development hudson yards anchoring a plaza and garden that will not open until some may see a jungle gym others a honeycomb but stephen m ross the billionaire founder and chairman of related companies which is developing hudson yards with oxford properties group has his own nickname for vessel the social climber and the steep price tag mr ross s privately held company is paying for mr heatherwick s installation more than million the back story of the vessel involves two men who are in step in more ways than one a designer known for dreaming big and a developer who will spend whatever it takes to make a statement currently under construction in monfalcone italy the and concrete pieces that make up vessel are not to be assembled on site until next year but on wednesday related companies rolled out the design with a hudson yards spectacle hosted by anderson cooper with a performance by the alvin ailey dance troupe on a set that mimicked the multiple stairways inside vessel the crowd of hundreds included mayor bill de blasio we know vessel will be debated and discussed and looked at from every angle and thomas the mayor added addressing the architect if you meet new yorkers you will find different opinions on the beautiful work you ve created do not be dismayed on a visit to new york this summer mr heatherwick founder of the heatherwick studio in london was eager to explain his design we had to think of what could act as the role of a landmarker he said something that could help give character and particularity to the space mr heatherwick said vessel was partly inspired by indian stepwells but he also referred to it as a climbing frame what americans would call a jungle gym as well as a busby berkeley musical with a lot of steps the design reflects mr heatherwick s belief that city natives are always looking for their next workout new yorkers have a fitness thing he said it will test many city folk who can barely climb into their ubers but there will be an elevator for anyone unable to reach the top inside the piece the interconnecting staircases may put visitors in mind of a drawing by m c escher especially given that the structure will have viewing landings mr heatherwick s career as measured by his personal profile has certainly been climbing he gained fame for ingenious designs like his torch for the london olympics known as the caldron he is collaborating with the architect bjarke ingels on the design for google s new campus in mountain view calif and he is reimagining the home of the new york philharmonic david geffen hall with diamond schmitt architects of toronto but other projects have faced some downward pressure mr heatherwick s proposal for a bridge across the thames river in london was held up by budget issues in july though mr heatherwick said it was moving forward again in new york the hudson river island park known as pier funded by another billionaire barry diller was stalled by a legal challenge that was rejected last week according to mr diller the challenge is being secretly sponsored by douglas durst a real estate rival of mr ross s it s a leap of faith in terms of scale said susan k freedman president of the public art fund who has seen the vessel renderings and likes them i admire the ambition she added you can t be small in new york but ms freedman had her reservations the bigger problem may be traffic control she said given that the work will be near the already crowded high line the tourist attraction whose northernmost segment winds around hudson yards i think people will want to experience it thomas woltz of the firm nelson byrd woltz designed hudson yards public square and gardens with input from mr heatherwick as a dramatically landscaped attraction the square will be the million centerpiece of hudson yards eastern section a parcel with eight buildings comprising office space retail outlets residences and a new cultural institution the shed the eastern section stretches from to streets and from to avenues built largely on a platform over the west side rail yards despite the name public square hudson yards is a private development and vessel was commissioned and approved by a committee of one mr ross who has kept the design models in a locked cabinet in the related offices when not allowing brief peeks to lure commercial tenants i have the only key he said with a smile when mr ross began the process of finding a piece several years ago he first turned to five artists who are known for working in public plazas and whom he declined to name and asked them for detailed proposals one of the unbuilt plans cost him he said and another but he was unsatisfied been there seen that mr ross said of his reaction a related colleague suggested mr heatherwick who had come in previously for a meeting at the company to discuss a future pavilion on the site mr heatherwick and mr ross talked and six weeks later the designer sent a proposal i looked at it and said that s it mr ross said it had everything i wanted that was in everybody here thought i was nuts mr ross said of his colleagues reactions the idea of vessel as an exclamation point toward the northern end of the high line is part of mr ross s grand plan to make hudson yards the center of new york despite its location the most important place in new york is rockefeller center during christmas time mr ross said i wanted to have a christmas tree one of mr heatherwick s main goals for the piece is to raise people significantly above ground level so they can see the city and one another in a new way the power of the high line is the changed perspective on the world mr heatherwick said the interactive feature of vessel was partly a reaction to what mr heatherwick sees as previous failures in public projects plop art we ve gotten used to these plazas with obligatory big artworks plunked down he said vessel is only feet in diameter at its base rising to feet at the top meaning that it has a small bum mr heatherwick said and does not take over the plaza s ground level the cost of the piece has ballooned from the original estimate million mr ross said mr heatherwick noted that the process of making the steel pieces was unusually complex we didn t have an unlimited budget but no corners have been cut mr heatherwick said adding that vessel was sturdy enough to take hurricane sandys the price does not appear to trouble his patron mr ross has now hired heatherwick studio to design two residential buildings one at hudson yards and one in chelsea for mr heatherwick vessel represents his firm s focus on doing innovative work for the public to enjoy i m doing this project because it s free and for all new yorkers he said i m just itching to see a thousand people on it

was a watershed point in century western politics with the defeat of hillary clinton and the near collapse of the democratic party it seems that america s progressive left has lost the ability to relate to much of the working and the middle classes during the obama administration the party was taken over by the billionaire donor class ruled by wall street interests silicon valley svengalis and the unelected commissariate the democratic national committee dnc their failed strategy of total reliance on identity politics at home and backing islamist extremism and a new cold war with russia abroad has spelled abject failure for the us electorate still the vanguard of the progressive left is still in denial of these realities however a new shake up on the left may already be underway last month america s latest progressive icon bernie sanders had this to say sanders the democratic party is an absolute failure june see also https t co cnrvtikunn pic twitter com mjxrguymym wikileaks wikileaks july his candid depiction of a broken political party certainly rings true it seems that sanders is avoiding some of the more fundamental aspects of his party s rapid disintegration namely the left s role in compromising america s reputation internationally by caving in to a largely neoconservative and globalist foreign policy agenda as author james petras explains james petras information clearing house over the past quarter century progressive writers activists and academics have followed a trajectory from left to right with each presidential campaign seeming to move them further to the right beginning in the s progressives mobilized millions in opposition to wars voicing demands for the transformation of the us s corporate for profit medical system into a national medicare for all public program they condemned the notorious wall street swindlers and denounced police state legislation and violence but in the end they always voted for democratic party presidential candidates who pursued the exact opposite agenda over time this political contrast between program and practice led to the transformation of the progressives and what we see today are us progressives embracing and promoting the politics of the far right to understand this transformation we will begin by identifying who and what the progressives are and describe their historical role we will then proceed to identify their trajectory over the recent decades we will outline the contours of recent presidential campaigns where progressives were deeply involved we will focus on the dynamics of political regression from resistance to submission from retreat to surrender we will conclude by discussing the end result the progressives large scale long term embrace of far right ideology and practice progressives by name and postureprogressives purport to embrace progress the growth of the economy the enrichment of society and freedom from arbitrary government central to the progressive agenda was the end of elite corruption and good governance based on democratic procedures progressives prided themselves as appealing to reason diplomacy and conciliation not brute force and wars they upheld the sovereignty of other nations and eschewed militarism and armed intervention progressives proposed a vision of their fellow citizens pursuing incremental evolution toward the good society free from the foreign entanglements which had entrapped the people in unjust wars progressives in historical perspectivein the early part of the century progressives favored political equality while opposing extra parliamentary social transformations they supported gender equality and environmental preservation while failing to give prominence to the struggles of workers and african americans they denounced militarism in general but supported a series of wars to end all wars theodore roosevelt and woodrow wilson embodied the dual policies of promoting peace at home and bloody imperial wars overseas by the middle of the century different strands emerged under the progressive umbrella progressives split between traditional good government advocates and modernists who backed socio economic reforms civil liberties and rights progressives supported legislation to regulate monopolies encouraged collective bargaining and defended the bill of rights progressives opposed wars and militarism in theory until their government went to war lacking an effective third political party progressives came to see themselves as the left wing of the democratic party allies of labor and civil rights movements and defenders of civil liberties progressives joined civil rights leaders in marches but mostly relied on legal and electoral means to advance african american rights progressives played a pivotal role in fighting mccarthyism though ultimately it was the secretary of the army and the military high command that brought senator mccarthy to his knees progressives provided legal defense when the social movements disrupted the house unamerican activities committee they popularized the legislative arguments that eventually outlawed segregation but it was courageous afro american leaders heading mass movements that won the struggle for integration and civil rights in many ways the progressives complemented the mass struggles but their limits were defined by the constraints of their membership in the democratic party the alliance between progressives and social movements peaked in the late sixties to mid s when the progressives followed the lead of dynamic and advancing social movements and community organizers especially in opposition to the wars in indochina and the military draft the retreat of the progressivesby the late s the progressives had cut their anchor to the social movements as the anti war civil rights and labor movements lost their impetus and direction the numbers of progressives within the left wing of the democratic party increased through recruitment from earlier social movements paradoxically while their numbers were up their caliber had declined as they sought to fit in with the pro business pro war agenda of their president s party without the pressure of the populist street the progressives turned democrats adapted to the corporate culture in the party the progressives signed off on a fatal compromise the corporate elite secured the electoral party while the progressives were allowed to write enlightened manifestos about the candidates and their programs which were quickly dismissed once the democrats took office yet the ability to influence the electoral rhetoric was seen by the progressives as a sufficient justification for remaining inside the democratic party moreover the progressives argued that by strengthening their presence in the democratic party their self proclaimed boring from within strategy they would capture the party membership neutralize the pro corporation militarist elements that nominated the president and peacefully transform the party into a vehicle for progressive changes upon their successful deep penetration the progressives now cut off from the increasingly disorganized mass social movements coopted and bought out many prominent black labor and civil liberty activists and leaders while collaborating with what they dubbed the more malleable centrist democrats these mythical creatures were really pro corporate democrats who condescended to occasionally converse with the progressives while working for the wall street and pentagon elite the retreat of the progressives the clinton decadeprogressives adapted the crab strategy moving side ways and then backwards but never forward progressives mounted candidates in the presidential primaries which were predictably defeated by the corporate party apparatus and then submitted immediately to the outcome the election of president bill clinton launched a period of unrestrained financial plunder major wars of aggression in europe yugoslavia and the middle east iraq a military intervention in somalia and secured israel s victory over any remnant of a secular palestinian leadership as well as its destruction of lebanon progressives followed clinton s deep throated thrust toward the far right as he outsourced manufacturing jobs to mexico nafta and re appointed federal reserve s free market ayn rand fanatic alan greenspan like a huge collective monica lewinsky robot the progressives in the democratic party bent over and swallowed clinton s vicious savaging of the venerable glass steagall act thereby opening the floodgates for massive speculation on wall street through the previously regulated banking sector when president clinton gutted welfare programs forcing single mothers to take minimum wage jobs without provision for safe childcare millions of poor white and minority women were forced to abandon their children to dangerous makeshift arrangements in order to retain any residual public support and access to minimal health care progressives looked the other way progressives repeatedly kneeled before president clinton marking their submission to the democrats hard right policies the election of republican president g w bush permitted progressive s to temporarily trot out and burnish their anti war anti wall street credentials out in the street they protested bush s savage invasion of iraq but not the destruction of afghanistan they protested the media reports of torture in abu ghraib under bush but not the massive bombing and starvation of millions of iraqis that had occurred under clinton progressives protested the expulsion of immigrants from mexico and central america but were silent over the brutal uprooting of refugees resulting from us wars in iraq and afghanistan or the systematic destruction of their nations infrastructure progressives embraced israel s bombing jailing and torture of palestinians by voting unanimously in favor of increasing the annual billion dollar military handouts to the brutal jewish state they supported israel s bombing and slaughter in lebanon progressives were in retreat but retained a muffled voice and inconsequential vote in favor of peace justice and civil liberties they kept a certain distance from the worst of the police state decrees by the republican administration progressives and obama from retreat to surrenderwhile progressives maintained their tepid commitment to civil liberties and their highly leveraged hopes for peace in the middle east they jumped uncritically into the highly choreographed democratic party campaign for barack obama wall street s first black president progressives had given up their quest to realign the democratic party from within they turned from serious tourism to permanent residency progressives provided the foot soldiers for the election and re election of the warmongering peace candidate obama after the election progressives rushed to join the lower echelons of his administration black and white politicos joined hands in their heroic struggle to erase the last vestiges of the progressives historical legacy obama increased the number of bush era imperial wars to attacking seven weak nations under american s first black president s bombardment while the progressives ensured that the streets were quiet and empty when obama provided trillions of dollars of public money to rescue wall street and the bankers while sacrificing two million poor and middle class mortgage holders the progressives only criticized the bankers who received the bailout but not obama s presidential decision to protect and reward the mega swindlers under the obama regime social inequalities within the united states grew at an unprecedented rate the police state patriot act was massively extended to give president obama the power to order the assassination of us citizens abroad without judicial process the progressives did not resign when obama s kill orders extended to the mistaken murder of his target s children and other family member as well as unidentified bystanders the icon carriers still paraded

cuisines the richness of gascony below the earthy pleasures of médoc and the new vibrancy of bordeaux also check out the food section s guide to french cooking and our survey of five classic specialties from bouillabaisse to galettes look closely at a map of southwestern france and you ll notice it a blank spot just west of toulouse where the place names thin out and the train lines and expressways veer away like a stream flowing around a boulder that blank spot is gascony one of the most rural regions in all of france gascons are for the most part proud of their provinciality and many of them have developed the curious habit of describing their bucolic land in terms of all the things it doesn t have big cities mass tourism traffic urban stress rail service autoroutes soaring real estate prices hordes of parisians snapping up summer homes and so on i spent most of a year there to gather material for a culinary memoir and can confirm the absence of all those things one sometimes hears gascony referred to as the other south of france by boosterish types mindful of the immense popularity of provence and the côte d azur which lie some miles to the east and to be sure if you plant yourself on a restaurant terrasse on the main square of auch pronounced gascony s historical capital in say late september you might easily convince yourself you re in mediterranean france what with the date palms and the people in sunglasses sipping rosé and talking in the bouncy accent of the midi but then your meal arrives and the illusion vanishes faster than a cold pastis on a hot day for gascon food is richer than the sunny cuisine of provence it is unabashedly defiantly rich duck fat not olive oil is the local currency everything gets cooked in it potatoes sausages eggs and in the case of confit that pillar of gascon farmhouse cooking duck itself gascons consume foie gras which is made on family farms all over the region with casual regularity and consider the delicacy about as decadent as a pork chop for those needing further convincing that they re not in peter mayle s south of france i will suggest simply sticking around auch for a few more of those autumn days it would eventually start to rain and if you hop in the car the traffic will disappear and you will find yourself in a decidedly landscape undulating fields of corn and rapeseed vineyard parcels intercut with lush grazing pastures hedgerows of broom and honeysuckle tidy groves of oak and hemlock villages and around almost every curve signs advertising foie gras and duck confit eventually you will probably get stuck behind a tractor gascony is not merely distinct from provence and the côte d azur it is in my estimation better gascony is more open more soulful more deeply french and in its devotion to tradition more pleasurably frozen in time its cuisine is arguably less sophisticated than provence s and yet it is more firmly rooted in the land it sprang from and it is i put to you enjoyed with lustier abandon you don t have to live in gascony for many months as i did to discover these truths even a week or so spent eating and drinking your way around the gers the département that constitutes gascony s heartland is enough to spark a lifelong love affair the gers is not very big but it gives travelers room to breathe only tourists visited the département in by comparison a staggering million visited the which includes nice and cannes though the gers is not france s most sparsely populated district it is the most agricultural with more of its land under cultivation than that of any other french district humans in the gers are vastly outnumbered by livestock especially ducks also interesting fact the humans who do live there live a long time the administrative region encompassing the gers boasts one of the country s highest rates of life expectancy at birth and its residents have fewer heart attacks than almost any other regional population in france both those facts tend to be met with incredulity by visitors encountering gascon cooking for the first time it is a cuisine best eased into perhaps at the hôtel de france in auch a grand old dowager on the main square that has recently been given a the hotel is the onetime fief of gascony s most famous chef andré daguin who is no longer at the stoves but still lives down the street in the postwar years mr daguin vociferously promoted gascon food and wine all over france and the hôtel de france menu still reflects the touchstones of the cuisine roasted magret duck confit with tarbais beans a salad topped with cured duck breast slices and confited duck gizzards a terrine of foie gras the wine to drink with this fare indisputably is madiran made from tannat grown along the gers s western fringe the wine is dark and tannic and tastes of earth and cooked plums with dessert a pacherenc madiran s white counterpart a sweet wine of a depth and structure to rival that of sauternes to wind things up a snifter of armagnac gascony s grape brandy and perhaps some chocolate even a casually upscale gascon meal it must be said requires a certain fortitude gascony unlike paris or the loire valley say is not a popular destination for seeking grand chateaus opulent palaces and soaring basilicas the region s patrimonial treasures are often tucked out of sight as if waiting to be given their moment take auch s cathedral just down the street from the hôtel de france the cathédrale ste is a fine enough specimen with its handsome twin bell towers and restored windows but its pièce de résistance lies hidden in a choir entered via an internal doorway that admits visitors for the price of euros arrayed along the choir s perimeter are thronelike stalles of intricately carved oak comprising thousands of painstakingly rendered figures and scenes depicting the life of jesus and other biblical episodes some of them in gruesome detail the stalles constitute the most feat of woodworking craftsmanship i have ever seen according to what little literature on the cathedral i have come across the names of all but one of the carvers an artisan from toulouse named dominique bertin have been lost to time most of the gers s other attractions and touristy restaurants what few there are are concentrated north of auch along a trail that stretches between the picturesque hilltop town of lectoure and the fortified village of fourcès the route also encompasses the popular medieval bastion of larressingle and the imposing cloister at la romieu as well as the prosperous village of montréal du gers where at an inviting restaurant called l escale you can have a swank al fresco meal of roasted capon in a foie gras and morel sauce while seated beneath the graceful arcades of the town square those destinations are certainly worthy ones particularly on a weekday between october and may when you will have a decent chance of having them nearly all to yourself i especially like lectoure with its single thoroughfare that arcs over a high ridgeline turning every side street into a picture frame for the rolling gascon countryside far below most tourists move on after paying a visit to lectoure s small cathedral and its handful of gift shops or they book a room and a table at the hôtel de bastard which serves an excellent appetizer of foie gras accompanied by slices of lectoure melon a variety of cantaloupe for which the town is famous but to my mind lectoure s singular point of interest its very raison d être and why i go back again and again is the café des sports this is unequivocally my favorite bar in france the slightly establishment is festooned with rugby ephemera the sport being as sacred to gascons as duck fat and is furnished with a long wood bar a couple of rickety barstools and teetering slightly on the floor a dozen or so tables on any given evening a mix of thuggish jocks paysans retirees urbane from toulouse teenagers and children can be found tucking into cheap entrecôtes and duck legs at the bar s far end an partition protects a private meeting space that could well have been the origin of the expression deal on one recent visit i could see a dozen men seated around a banquet table plotting who knows what on another visit and this is an anecdote that speaks volumes about gascons trusting nature a stranger in a rugby shirt nonchalantly deposited his child at the table i was sharing with my wife and daughter you don t mind watching her for a minute he said and dashed out before i could worry too much he was back seeing that his daughter and mine were getting on fine he lingered at the bar to chat with some friends the café des sports aside lectoure is a typical prim and prettified french village and in this respect is an anomaly in the gers the principal towns of the gascon heartland are for the most part unprepossessing gritty market hubs that on the face of it hold little appeal for the tourist and yet they offer the patient and curious visitor a chance to tune in to the rhythms of a rural lifestyle that is dying out elsewhere in france to spend a morning in say fleurance mirande or nogaro is to witness frenchness in a very pure distillation a collective affirmation of the things the french hold most sacred fraternité gastronomie and to a lesser extent morning drinking cigarette smoking and to wit mirande s monday market held in a covered hall the marché brings this drab burg of souls to crackling life the vibe is like that of a small county fair except with much better food a tour of the stalls offers a crash course in gascon cookery confit duck legs nestled in chilled rendered fat fattened duck livers goose and pork rillettes pâté de tête basque chorizo immense rounds of tangy tommes des pyrénées cheese fresh brook trout all manner of nuts and dried fruit gariguette strawberries greengage plums and on and on the real education though is to be found in the gusty banter between vendors and customers a uniquely gascon admixture of gossip rugby talk and almost without fail recipe swapping nowhere outside gascony have i had to summon more patience while waiting in line at a rural market the conversations as a rule are supercharged by lots of coffee and often lubricated by glasses of wine beer or floc an aperitif purchased at the buvette or drinks counter a fixture of any respectable gascon market the procuring of provisions always concludes with lunch virtually every substantial gascon town has its bustling joint mirande s is called prosaically le grand café glacier on my most recent visit there a pork cutlet with haricots verts and a gratin dauphinois set me back euros a of the house red cost a few more the meal bargains to be had in gascony s market cafes the café du centre in maubourguet the café du centre in fleurance no relation le divan in éauze harken back to a bygone era as do the menus which on market days frequently consist of the and little else often the only question asked by your harried server is which color of wine you want gascony is fundamentally a rural place and to imbibe its true essence you have to leave the towns behind and venture deep into the countryside preferably on foot this is an easy thing to do for the gers is laced with thousands of miles of walkable farm roads and hiking trails making jaunts an appealing proposition such excursions are in my opinion the best possible way to work up your appetite the french divide hikes into two categories grandes randonnées and petites randonnées the former are for the type of person who thinks nothing of carrying a pack up a mountain and can discuss at length the wicking properties of various synthetic fabrics the latter are for dabblers like me who get kvetchy when an outdoor activity starts to eat into the dinner hour though the gers does have one grande randonnée route a multiday loop that starts and ends in auch the département is a paradise for day hikers i ve hiked many petite randonnée routes in the gers using the magnificently detailed topoguides published by the fédération française de la randonnée pédestre or when hiking with my daughter the slim but excellent trail guide les sentiers d emilie dans le gers most marked trails in the gers are loops of under miles many much shorter one of the loveliest plunges into the deeply corrugated terrain north of lupiac which happens to be the birthplace of charles ogier de batz de castelmore better known as d artagnan by far the world s gascon and a man of large appetites the trail follows easements through ancient family farmsteads and bisects a shady wood a remnant of the gascon forests that served as hunting grounds for local feudal estates another terrific hike starts in the village of and weaves through the vineyards of madiran from the hill crests on a clear day you can see the pyrénées and in summer the air is filled with the smell of hay wild grasses and damp earth i m particularly fond of the latter hike because if you start right after breakfast you can be done in time to have lunch at the nearby ferme descoubet this duck farm will if you call ahead prepare a gascon meal and serve it to you in a farmhouse dining room alongside an stone hearth on my last visit the farm s owner presented me with an entire perfectly duck breast its fatty skin crisp and just shy of charred the juicy magret had been grilled cut into quarters and arranged around a bed of fried potatoes with a deep roasted flavor that could only have come from a communion with hot duck fat ferme descoubet lies at the far western edge of the gers near where the dense hills of the gascon heartland flatten out into the alluvial plain of the adour river this is sleepy gascony s even sleepier hinterland here i have experienced a level of solitude that is hard to find anywhere in mainland france and i have often been overtaken by the pleasant sensation of coming unmoored from the here and now it is a feeling that is easy to achieve in gascony one of my favorite spots in all of france is a remote settlement deep in the adour river valley called mazères it consists of nothing more than a few houses gathered around a towering fortresslike church that looks way too big for its surroundings to visit the church you have to walk across the road to the house of the gardien and ring the doorbell which is an actual bell hanging from the home s old stone gate if he is home the man possessed of an impressive knowledge of the church s history and more important a key to the place will show you around the cool dark sanctuary and point out the room s marble reliquary which looks like a creepy dollhouse then in typical gascon fashion he will probably engage you in a conversation about the weather and by way of parting tell you where you should have lunch most visitors to gascony arriving by air fly into toulouse an drive from auch the region s main city auch has a tourism office place de la république en com that sells topoguides to the gers in auch the venerable hôtel de france com offers a range of reasonably priced rooms starting at euros about its casual restaurant has a small terrace overlooking auch s main square and serves many of the region s greatest hits the hotel also has a grande salle where fancier and much pricier fare is served the hôtel de bastard in lectoure com has a sleeker more updated feel and offers a somewhat lighter version of gascon and traditional french dishes simpler meals can be had for a pittance at many of gascony s bistros such as the le divan boulevard du général de gaulle in éauze and the café du centre fr in maubourguet or at unpretentious like the café des sports rue nationale in lectoure fancier if still perfectly gascon and perfectly affordable cooking can be found at l escale fr in the picturesque village of montréal ferme descoubet com serves ultratraditional gascon farmhouse fare in an actual farmhouse be sure to call at least a day ahead weekly village markets are a great entry point for delving into gascon foodways éauze has an excellent market on thursday mornings just off the ring road encircling the medieval town center mirande s covered market held on monday mornings is equally lively the town of adour has an even bigger covered market held on saturday mornings with a busy buvette where many a marketgoer can be seen enjoying an aperitif

general people s congress party gpc confirmed to reuters that the year old saleh had been killed outside the capital sanaa in what houthi sources said was an rpg rocket propelled grenade and gun attack a master of weaving alliances and advancing his personal and family interests in yemen s heavily armed and deeply fractious tribal society saleh unified his country by force but he also helped guide it toward collapse in its latest war the middle east s arch survivor once compared running yemen to dancing on the heads of snakes ruling with expertly balanced doses of largesse and force he outlived other arab leaders who were left dead or deposed by uprisings and civil wars since cornered by pro democracy arab spring protests saleh wore a cryptic smile when signing his resignation in a televised ceremony in saleh waged six wars against the houthis from to before he made an impromptu alliance with the group that seized the capital sanaa in and eventually turned on him the two sides feuded for years for supremacy over territory they ran together the houthis probably never forgave his forces for killing their founder and father of the current leader fearing the houthis are a proxy for their arch foe iran the mostly gulf arab alliance sought to help the internationally recognized yemeni government win the conflict saleh s army loyalists and houthi fighters together weathered thousands of air strikes by a saudi led military coalition in almost three years of war as the conflict wrought a humanitarian crisis mutual sniping about responsibility for economic woes in northern yemeni lands that they together rule peaked on wednesday when the capital erupted in gunbattles between their partisans arch survivor saleh had seemed unshakeable in one of the world s poorest and unstable countries he managed to play his enemies off against each other as tribal warfare separatist movements and islamist militants destabilized yemen he survived a bomb attack in his palace mosque

a pivotal figure in the war which has killed at least people displaced million from their homes led to widespread hunger and a cholera epidemic saleh became the ruler of north yemen in at a time when the south was a separate communist state and led the unified country after the two states merged in opponents often complained that yemen under saleh failed to meet the basic needs of the country s people where two of every three live on less than per day saleh managed to keep western and arab powers on his side styling himself as a key ally of the united states in its war on terrorism he received tens of millions of dollars in u s military aid for units commanded by his relatives after the sept attacks against u s cities yemen came onto washington s radar as a source of foot soldiers

against president trump outside parliament british lawmakers on monday debated whether to deny him a formal state visit because in the eyes of nearly two million britons in an online petition it would cause embarrassment to her majesty the queen the debate included the kind of political showmanship and heated language that members of parliament often do well with dueling lawmakers invoking mr trump s impetuousness his strategic importance to britain or even his willingness to misrepresent the weather during his inauguration as reasons to cancel or go ahead with the visit the intellectual capacity of the president is protozoan said paul flynn an opposition labour lawmaker who led the argument against a state visit in making his case mr flynn quoted a journalist s remarks about the disgrace of pimping out the queen for donald trump a remark that the conservative legislator jacob condemned as unworthy even as a quotation mr trump would hardly be the first contentious leader to be honored with a state visit the queen acting as always on the recommendation of the government has in the past received president robert mugabe of zimbabwe the romanian dictator nicolae ceausescu and president mobutu sese seko the former leader of zaire now the democratic republic of congo after a recent visit with president xi jinping of china she was caught on camera speaking of how very rude the chinese leader had been a queen who has been asked over the decades to host tyrants such as presidents mobutu of zaire and ceausescu of romania is going to take a brash billionaire from new york effortlessly in her stride william hague a former foreign secretary wrote in the daily telegraph still the prospect of mr trump s visit has stirred great passion in britain the online petition backed by million people does not call for mr trump to be barred from britain altogether only that his visit be a political one without the involvement of queen elizabeth ii another online petition signed by more than people called for the state visit to take place petitions with more than signatures are eligible for parliamentary debate and any vote would not be binding the government of prime minister theresa may has been firm in saying that the invitation to mr trump for a full state visit this year will not be withdrawn in parliament mr flynn cited the need to keep public trust in politicians and noted that no president had ever been invited for a state visit in his first year in office he also accused mr trump of acting like a petulant child and said the queen should not be seen as approving either his actions or his attitudes toward women and muslims but a conservative legislator nigel evans said that mr trump was the president of a great ally of britain and that the critics should get over it mr trump was fairly elected he said adding i do respect that he stood on a platform on which he is now delivering alex salmond a legislator from the scottish national party argued that the invitation should be rescinded because members should not confuse respect for the united states with a personal invitation to mr trump traditionally american presidents must wait several years before getting a state visit and many do not get one at all mrs may after britain s vote in june to leave the european union was eager to cement good relations with the new american president and she arranged a rapid visit to washington during the visit she conveyed the invitation which mr trump accepted leaving the european union could lock britain out of the bloc s single market a zone as well as the customs union which eliminates tariffs and customs checks so mrs may has seemed eager to shore up her country s relations with the united states as a counterbalance during the debate a labour legislator david lammy spoke of mr trump s attitudes and asked why britain should abandon all its principles and invite him because this country is so desperate for a trade deal that we would throw all our own history out the window he said we didn t do this for kennedy we didn t do this for truman we didn t do this for reagan but for this man after seven days we say please come and we will lay on everything because we are so desperate for your company he added i am ashamed that it has come to this but james cartlidge a conservative said that if britain canceled the visit there will be smiles all around in the kremlin which wants to divide the west and another conservative simon burns said that it was important to be a candid friend able to influence mr trump and the united states particularly so given britain s plan to leave the european union various opinion polls indicate that a small majority of britons support the state visit but there are also concerns that it would be met with large protests comparable to when president george w bush made a state visit and many came out to protest the iraq war the mayor of london sadiq khan supports the petition to disinvite mr trump because of the president s ban on people from seven countries and his decision to block refugees from entering the united states in those circumstances we shouldn t be rolling out the red carpet mr khan said on sunday on monday the house of lords began at least two days of debate on a bill already passed by the house of commons to authorize the government to enact article of the lisbon treaty which would inform the european union of britain s intention to leave the bloc the government intends to invoke article by the end of march if not sooner beginning at least two years of negotiations with the other member states on the terms of britain s exit and a framework for future relations

of westernization sacco vandal american renaissance october they cautioned their countrymen years ago many westerners fear the decline of their own society while they foresee chinese ascension and impending dominance with alternating tones of fear or enthusiasm the united states is growing demographically and may remain a viable cultural entity but the consensus is that europe faces demographic disaster china and the west seem to be approaching an inversion of their relationship of just over a century ago during the late qing period when the west was dominant and china was peripheral patrick buchanan described the western dilemma in what happened to us what happened to our world when the twentieth century opened the west was everywhere supreme for four hundred years explorers missionaries conquerors and colonizers departed from europe for the four corners of the earth to erect empires that were to bring the blessings and benefits of western civilization to all mankind whatever became of those men somewhere in the last century western man suffered a catastrophic loss of faith in himself in his civilization and in the faith that gave it birth although the united states remains the strongest but not the sole superpower european peoples are in decline everywhere in another book mr buchanan points out that in people of european ancestry were one fourth of the world s population in they were one sixth in they will be one tenth these are the statistics of a vanishing race mr buchanan is hardly the first to warn of impending doom for the west the lamentations of oswald spengler are well known less known however are the chinese from the same period who dreamed of a resurgence for china and warned of western decline these voices from the late qing dynasty may now seem prescient spengler saw the first world war as a sign of the west s inevitable decline many of the chinese literati who had at first been smitten with the dynamism of the west also came to see the war in the same way western civilization was in a state of crisis that would lead to its destruction today mr buchanan also calls the first world war a mortal wound that was inflicted upon our civilization meanwhile the chinese who have resurrected many of the tenets of their traditional civilization after decades of maoist rule argue that western liberalization and democratization are not the true way by which they will inherit the earth as china begins to return to traditional chinese pragmatism and the west implodes certain late qing intellectuals now appear vindicated devastation after wwi first among them were yan fu and liang qichao the dynamism of the west at first impressed them leading them to promote westernization in china however by the end of their lives both men had come to see the dynamism of the west as self destructive they exhorted china to take a middle path between traditionalism and modernization hoping that this might by the key to supplanting the west china in trouble in the latter half of the century china was at a technological and military disadvantage it lost a series of wars with western powers and was forced to accept unequal treaties this led various ministers of the qing dynasty such as li hongzhang to advocate mild forms of modernization meanwhile the meiji government in japan had started an ambitious effort of full scale westernization beginning in and in after japan defeated china in the sino japanese war it became obvious to most chinese intellectuals that their nation s program of limited modernization was not enough until the mid century europe had been an inconsequential backwater for china as late as a british attempt to establish a greater amount of trade with the qing was rebuffed with the assertion by the qianlong emperor that china possesses all things in prolific abundance and lacks no products within its own borders and thus had no need to import the manufactures of outside barbarians by the mid century industrialization had made the west vastly more rich and powerful however some chinese thought the sudden dynamism of the west also had intellectual origins in the latter half of the nineteenth century china found itself at the mercy of the western powers that it once looked down upon darwin s dangerous idea in yan fu was superintendent of the beiyang naval school in an explanation of western civilization to fellow chinese intellectuals he focused on the theory of evolution as a young man he had studied in england and become familiar with social darwinism and came to see it as the cultural fountainhead of wealth and power since the publication of wrote yan of which nearly every household in europe and america now has a copy there has been a tremendous change in the scholarship politics and religion of the west the claim that the revolution in outlook and intellectual orientation occasioned by darwin s book exceeds that of newtonian astronomy is hardly an empty one yan spent the next ten years translating works on english evolutionist thought by men such as herbert spencer and thomas huxley in the hope of converting his colleagues to social darwinism yan fu was attracted to social darwinism while studying in england perhaps it took an outsider to see the power of evolutionary thought darwin s theory shook westerners but it also gave them a certain will to power herbert spencer who coined the term survival of the fittest led the transformation of darwinism into social darwinism which called upon western man to glorify victory in social competition victory in competition was the purpose of all life everywhere yan quickly saw the winning at all costs ruthlessness of social darwinism as a remedy for china writing in his work on yan s life benjamin schwartz writes what interests is not so much the darwinian account of biological evolution qua science it is precisely the stress on the values of struggle assertive energy the emphasis on the actualization of potentialities within a competitive situation the image of nature red in tooth and claw does not depress him it exhilarates him yan nevertheless worried that it might be too late for china to adopt social darwinism and that his country would be overwhelmed by the nations that had in a newspaper essay on strength he wrote months and years slip by and with rapacious neighbors all around i fear that we will be too late that we will follow poland and india providing an example of darwin s before we have been able to implement spencer s methods alas our individual lives are not worth the worry but what of our descendants and the of our race the battle for reform after defeat in the sino japanese war many chinese intellectuals such as yan began to advocate full scale westernization japan had already adopted social darwinism in its pursuit of western wealth and power and the chinese intelligentsia began to believe that china should follow suit in the guangxu emperor appointed the minister kang youwei to head a reform movement after kang had requested permission to imitate japan as to the republican governments of the united states and france and the constitutional governments of britain and germany these countries are far away and their customs are different from ours their changes occurred a long time ago and can no longer be traced consequently i beg your majesty to take the meiji reform of japan as the model for our reform the time and place of japan s reform are not remote and her religion and customs are somewhat similar to ours her success is manifest her example can easily be followed the emperor agreed and the minister initiated a flurry of meiji style reform a bright young man named liang qichao worked with kang as his protégé and he became one of the most influential chinese advocates for westernization however kang and liang s efforts were quickly aborted after an imperial coup under the empress dowager cixi liang qichao after the empress dowager cut short what later became known as the hundred days reform kang and liang escaped political persecution by fleeing to japan once there kang continued to support the qing dynasty and to justify an agenda for chinese reform via cautious appeals to confucianism liang however ultimately broke with kang and like yan began to espouse a new view of world history strongly colored by social darwinism a struggle for survival among nations and races he wrote if we wish to make our nation strong we must investigate extensively the methods followed by other nations in becoming independent we should select the superior points and appropriate them to make up for our own shortcomings liang increasingly came to see social darwinism as the fuel of the west s dynamism one of the superior points that china would do well to appropriate writing from japan he exerted great influence on young chinese together yan and liang instilled in an entire generation of chinese students a fervent desire for change but this influence did not bring social darwinism to china instead it brought the revolution the new cultural movement and the may fourth movement of perturbations that would spin china into over half a century of upheaval accommodative versus transformative thought despite their attraction to social darwinism and their sometimes radical calls for reform yan and liang were not revolutionaries indeed although liang and especially yan attacked various instances of chinese backwardness they continued to support the qing dynasty advocating slow transition into a constitutional monarchy based on the british model once the revolution succeeded however liang grudgingly threw his support behind the new republican government but yan continued to support monarchy questioning the west the first world war was a shock to reformers who wanted to embrace the west as the war dragged on aging reformers such as yan and liang became increasingly disillusioned with not only transformative revolution but westernization and even the west yan wrote that the carnage of the war was a consequence of western traits such has been the effect on the human race of civilization and science when i look back on our sacred wisdom and culture i find that it foresaw this even at that early date yan explained further as i have grown older and have observed the seven years of republican government in china and the four years of bloody war in europe a war such as the world has never known i have come to feel that progress has lead only to selfishness slaughter corruption and shamelessness when i look back upon the ways of confucius and mencius i find that they have profoundly benefited the realm this is not my opinion alone many thinking people in the west have gradually come to feel this way liang wrote that recently many western scholars have wanted to import asian civilization as a corrective to their own and indeed the latter half of the century saw the importation of philosophical religious and cultural curiosities from the east and into the west in the meantime he stated his goal for china i therefore hope that our dear young people will first of all have a sincere purpose of respecting and protecting our civilization second that they will apply western methods to the study of our civilization and discover its true character third that they will put our own civilization in order and supplement it with others so that it will be transformed and become a new civilization and fourth that they will extend this new civilization to the outside world so that it can benefit the whole human race because of the devastation of the first world war these two thinkers who had once promoted modernization and westernization instead advocated a modernization without westernization or at least minimal westernization they seemed to believe that the course of the west was not sustainable and that the west could be supplanted by china if it modernized in a way that was compatible with its nature and culture they seem to have realized that social darwinism was a false promise and that the forces it unleashed could destroy the west china and the west today in the end china did not follow japan down the path of westernization a burgeoning chinese nationalism grew up around anti japanese sentiment and this enmity was extended to the west after japan instead of china was awarded germany s chinese concession at versailles in ultimately communism on the soviet model provided the chinese with an alternative to both chinese traditionalism and the west china entered a period of socialist tyranny under mao zedong after mao s death china began to abandon maoism it is still nominally communist but since the s it has followed the example of hong kong and taiwan and has increasingly returned to the teachings of confucius and mencius chinese now praise yan and liang for their wisdom and prescience the post mao leadership of the people s republic of china beginning with deng xiaoping has espoused views nearly identical to those advocated by liang over a century ago statue of liang qichao in tianjin at the same time westerners are now studying the warnings of yan and liang about the inherent instability of the west as western liberals such as martin jacques herald the coming chinese domination there may be a generation of european and american scholars who find themselves in a position similar to that of yan and liang struggling to understand why their civilization has fallen behind that of a rival whose inferiority was once taken for granted thus while china has found its way back to the middle path balancing its modernization and westernization with pragmatism caution and confucianism the west is disintegrating in a chaos of heterogeneity and decadence the warnings of spengler have come true and patrick buchanan forecasts the death of the west russia and parts of eastern europe are trying to save themselves from liberalism and democracy but success is not guaranteed thinkers in the alt right are wrestling with the question of how to save our own white civilization the old order is

senior lawyer at the electronic frontier foundation eff explains how the government spies on people using a powerful phone surveillance tool built by at t called hemisphere every day at t stores billions of call records and sells the information to sheriff s and police departments around the country who each pay upward of million a year for the communications metadata in his article at t requires police to hide hemisphere phone spying schwartz says law enforcement officials kept hemisphere under the radar for many years hidden from courts legislators and the general public until the new york times exposed the program in democracy now interviews adam schwartz new details are emerging about how at t has been spying on americans for profit with a secret plan called project hemisphere the daily beast reports at t is keeping private call records and selling the information to authorities investigating everything from the war on drugs to medicaid fraud at t reportedly has been retaining every call text message skype chat or other communication that has passed through its infrastructure some of the records date back to sheriff s and police departments each pay upward of million a year for access to the call records no warrants are needed and at t requires governmental agencies to keep secret the source of the information juan gonzález well all of this comes as new details are emerging about how at t has been spying on americans for profit the secret plan is called project hemisphere the daily beast reports at t is keeping private call records and selling the information to authorities investigating everything from the war on drugs to medicaid fraud at t reportedly has been retaining every call text message skype chat or other communications that passed through its infrastructure some of the records date back to sheriff and police departments across the country each pay upwards of a million dollars a year for access to the call records no warrants are needed and at t requires governmental agencies to keep secret the source of information amy goodman a statement of work from at t to the city of atlanta published by the daily beast outlines the secrecy at t demanded it reads quote he government agency agrees not to use the data as evidence in any judicial or administrative proceedings unless there is no other available and admissible probative evidence the government agency shall make every effort to insure that information provided by the contractor is non attributable to at t if the data is provided to a third party well for more we want to bring in adam schwartz to this conversation senior lawyer at the electronic frontier foundation his latest article at t requires police to hide hemisphere phone spying so explain what is this project hemisphere adam schwartz the largest known possibly the biggest database of telephone metadata that the government is using to spy on us every day the database grows by literally billion records as you said it has records going back to the and police are using powerful algorithms to scrutinize this database of everyone that we are having telephone and other digital communications with to discover our personal relationships whether we re talking to a psychiatrist or a criminal defense lawyer or a union organizer on the telephone we view this as a menace to our privacy and one of the most disturbing features of it is how it has been kept a secret so that the public and the courts and congress cannot scrutinize this program and decide whether we even want it juan gonzález well and how are they able to do this why are they not why are the law enforcement agencies not required to have court ordered subpoenas to obtain these records adam schwartz well that s a great question under federal statutes that protect our privacy ordinarily the police do have to go to a judge and get some kind of approval before they get this metadata of who we re talking to what at t has required the police to do through the provision of the contract that you just read is what the police call parallel construction and what the eff calls evidence laundering and what this means is after the police find evidence against someone in the hemisphere database they wall it off quote unquote from their training manual and then they use a traditional subpoena to recreate the exact same evidence trail and when it comes time to put the person on trial they present the second set of cleaner evidence and no one is the wiser that they were using this massive disturbing digital database to spy on all americans including the criminal suspect juan gonzález but wouldn t there be a requirement for the company to at least notify their consumers that they re participating in something like this adam schwartz yeah unfortunately there isn t you know at t in its public comments about hemisphere has suggested they are merely responding to government requests for information the same way that all kinds of providers of consumer services have to respond in fact as we see through the contract that at t wrote which came to light earlier this week in the daily beast it is at t who was demanding of government that the program be kept a secret we don t know what at t s motive is to demand the secrecy perhaps it s because at t is literally making millions of dollars a year from government agencies in exchange for providing this unique database of telephone records to the police for their scrutiny amy goodman so the police might pay up to one police department somewhere might pay like a million dollars to get this information adam schwartz yeah just to be clear there is a task force of federal state and local officials called the hidtas the high intensity drug trafficking areas and it is funded by the white house office of national drug control policy and the hidtas have three regional centers across the country where at t employees are posted along with dea agents and other law enforcement and that is the entry point for law enforcement to the at t hemisphere database and the funding is a little bit shadowy but it is clear that at one of these three hidta centers white house funds to the tune of a million dollars a year are going to the hidta in turn going to at t so it s not a million dollars from each agency but it is millions of dollars in total juan gonzález and adam schwartz am i correct on this that at t is not does not only provide information on their own customers but on other carriers who possibly may be going through the at t infrastructure as well adam schwartz that s exactly correct any consumer whether they are not whether or not they are with at t when a call goes through an at t switch it goes into the hemisphere database so for example if you re using roaming away from your own carrier s network and you re using at t s network then your call goes into the hemisphere database again billion records per day from american consumers and for international calls into the hemisphere database amy goodman and the significance of broadband internet providers having to ask permission if they want to sell customers private data to third parties the ruling that was just adopted thursday by the fcc adam schwartz you know i think that the critical principle here is that consumers should have control over their data and corporations should not be diverting that data for their own profit reasons we think that a program like amy goodman that they could sell it to other companies you re saying they could not only to police agencies but to corporations they could sell your you know our texts to each other adam schwartz right the ruling yesterday from the fcc which the electronic frontier foundation was strongly in support of and lobbied for says that they have to get each individual consumer s permission before they divert their private information to anything other than providing the standard broadband service so there s a parallel between that issue and the hemisphere issue which is that you know consumers have a right to privacy and at t should not be undermining that privacy in the case of hemisphere by creating the world s biggest if or one of the world s biggest databases to allow the government to scrutinize our private relationships based on who we are having digital correspondence with juan gonzález and craig aaron of free press your sense of how this information on the hemisphere program whether this is going to become now part of the overall discussions on at t s increased market power if it has this merger craig aaron i think it has to be you know this is just yet another example of why we can t trust at t and its promises and you know i think it s very concerning that at t is literally you know putting employees right alongside sitting law enforcement to willingly mine their data to help them out and then sell it so they re taking their own customers private information selling it back to the government for a hefty profit while violating their privacy so this is the kind of company at t is you know eff has exposed for years and years and years through their legal work everything at t has been up to supporting the dea the nsa etc i think this is something to be concerned about when a company gets even bigger and when a company is about to take over a major news network who s going to hold at t accountable when these kind of stories are out there are we going to even hear about them amy goodman we want to thank you both for being with us craig aaron president and ceo of free press and adam schwartz of the electronic frontier foundation of course we ll continue to follow this the decision is not finally made in fact craig aaron just what s the timetable on this craig aaron i think this merger we re probably talking about a year which means this is a decision that s going to be made by the next presidential administration by the justice department which gives us time to organize but it s very very important that we get started now because this is going to be a fight that will be going well into next year amy goodman well thanks so much to both of you this is democracy now when we come back we head to north dakota to the standoff at standing rock well over a hundred people were once again arrested yesterday as native americans and their allies faced off against a heavy a heavily militarized police department stay with us

the courtly senator from alabama used to be known was a stalwart justice department prosecutor for almost years a job he called the adventure of a lifetime today mr sessions has a growing list of gripes about how the obama administration has run his old department from its breathtaking stance on immigration to its shameful refusal to defend a federal ban on gay marriage i m not happy about what s happened to my department of justice mr sessions said last year jabbing his reading glasses in the air at the senate confirmation hearing for attorney general loretta e lynch after nearly a away mr sessions now known simply as jeff is poised to return to the department to clean house as donald j trump s nominee for attorney general with a mandate to carry out the law and order agenda mr trump promised on the campaign trail if he is confirmed mr sessions who is considered one of the most conservative members of the senate will most likely push for wholesale changes and stances on immigration terrorism crime drugs and guns democrats fear he could wipe away progress in civil rights changes in sentencing and police accountability the justice department is likely to be one of the most transformed departments in the cabinet in a trump administration and with an attorney general sessions you d obviously see a very strong figure at the top said jonathan turley a george washington university law professor much of his is as a prosecutor a real prosecutor said mr turley who testified before mr sessions at a senate hearing last year about the obama administration s use of executive authority mr sessions was the first senator to endorse mr trump in february when many republicans were still shunning the businessman he has since become a close adviser the senate judiciary committee where mr sessions has served for years and sometimes clashed with fellow members will consider his nomination democrats are eager to interrogate him on the rockier patches of his long career particularly the accusations of racially charged comments in the that derailed his nomination as a federal judge critics charge that the controversy was a harbinger of hostility toward minorities that has continued in his two decades as a senator he s one of the most strident g b t voices in the senate said marge baker executive vice president of people for the american way a liberal civil rights group in washington mr sessions like mr trump has made tougher immigration policies a central priority he has said president obama s justice department flouted the will of congress by failing to deport millions of undocumented immigrants when many republicans distanced themselves from mr trump s startling campaign proposal to ban muslim immigration mr sessions said he was open to considering it in a breitbart interview last december with stephen k bannon who was chosen by mr trump this week as a top white house adviser mr sessions acknowledged in the interview that the proposal was treading on dangerous ground because of the country s long history of religious freedom at the same time we re in an age that s very dangerous and we re seeing more and more persons enter and a lot of them have done terrorist acts and a lot of them believe it s commanded by their religion he said so i think it s appropriate to begin to discuss this as the nation s top law enforcement officer mr sessions and the political appointees under him would hold wide discretion in shaping policies across the federal government and in overseeing the enforcement of federal laws at the f b i and other agencies within the justice department his department would also play an important role in advising the white house on supreme court nominees and working to get them confirmed in the senate mr sessions an avid student of constitutional history has called justice antonin scalia who died in february a model hailing him for an unwavering commitment to the rule of law rather than judicial activism mr sessions was born in selma ala the son of a country store owner the diminutive mr sessions was an eagle scout known as buddy as a child his parents he said instilled in him the values of honesty hard work belief in god and parental respect with a law degree from the university of alabama mr sessions worked as a private attorney and as an assistant federal prosecutor before president ronald reagan tapped him in as the united states attorney for the southern district of alabama he held that post for years accusations of inappropriate racial remarks one black prosecutor said mr sessions called him boy and another prosecutor said he referred to groups like the n a a c p and the american civil liberties union as doomed his nomination for a lifetime appointment to the federal

campaign behind him republican presidential nominee donald trump used a major economic speech monday to reach out to two voting blocs that remain critical to his faltering chances of winning in november traditional fiscal conservatives and disaffected blue collar workers but trump faced a new round of resistance from within his party that threatened to stall his effort to move beyond the uproar he caused last week in an opinion column published by the washington post late monday sen susan collins maine became the latest sitting republican senator to declare that she will not support trump in addition dozens of national security officials who served in gop administrations signed a letter saying that he is not qualified to be president reading from a teleprompter at the detroit economic club and pausing calmly when protesters interrupted him trump assailed democratic rival hillary clinton and cast himself as the only change candidate on economic issues he did so in part with tax cutting regulation curbing plans that are squarely mainstream in his party and in part with his now familiar attacks on the forces of globalization that have unnerved many workers he took swipes at free trade deals championed by gop leaders and attacked immigrants and refugees the republican nominee shared few new policy details and continued to offer no specifics for how he would pay for tax cuts or spending increases large enough to balloon the federal budget deficit he promised more clarity in coming weeks trump proposed a new set of individual income tax rates higher than he previously suggested but he also promised to bring rates lower than they were even during the george w bush administration he was vague in other areas including a promise for major federal infrastructure spending and another the only new policy proposal in the speech that would allow working families to deduct child care costs from their federal income taxes throughout his address trump took sharp aim at clinton he held up detroit which has been devastated by manufacturing job losses as the living breathing example of her failed economic agenda i want to jump start america it can be done and it won t even be that hard he said at a rally in st petersburg fla clinton assailed trump s plan as an outdated replica of previous republican pitches saying it would give super big tax breaks to large corporations and the really wealthy and basically just repackage trickle down economics she added you know that old saying fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me just imagine donald trump in the oval office facing a real crisis she said what happens when somebody gets under his skin i don t know if the united states can afford that kind of risk on income taxes the business mogul said he would work with house republicans to implement the three brackets they have proposed percent percent and percent the move puts trump in line with speaker paul d ryan wis with whom trump has had a tense alliance previously trump proposed tax brackets of percent percent percent and percent he continued to call for a percent corporate income tax rate for all businesses which is lower than ryan s proposed percent corporate rate trump also promised to end some special interest tax breaks but named only one the carried interest provision that many investment fund managers use to reduce their tax liability experts cautioned though that trump s plan would still deliver a windfall to such investors because it would reduce income and corporate rates lacking more details from the campaign it is difficult to say how much trump s revisions to his tax rates would alter the cost of his economic plan which analysts had previously estimated could reduce federal revenue by trillion over the next decade equally difficult to measure are the benefits the plan would deliver to taxpayers across income levels it seems very likely that this version of the plan will lose less revenue than the last version because it will contain relatively smaller tax cuts for individuals scott greenberg an analyst at the nonpartisan tax foundation said in an interview a key question he added is the level at which various marginal tax rates begin to take effect a tax plan where the percent kicks in at and one where it kicks in at are two very different tax plans trump s economic focus followed a week in which he stoked tensions with party leaders by initially declining to endorse ryan and sen john mccain ariz in their primaries this month trump also drew widespread ire for criticizing the muslim parents of a u s army captain who was killed in iraq and he fell dramatically behind clinton in public polls the measured pre written remarks in detroit on monday were intended to steady a listing campaign and conservatives received the calls for tax and regulation cuts positively but most reaction to the speech even among conservatives was mixed in the end monday served as a reminder that many republicans remain highly skeptical of trump lanhee chen who was the policy director for gop presidential nominee mitt romney in called the speech a mixed bag he praised the details on taxes as a nod to more orthodox republican views but he said trump s main challenge now is to prove to voters that he is as serious about policy making as he is about picking fights with critics one speech is not going to change a narrative chen said also monday a group of former national security officials who served under republican presidents signed a letter warning that trump would be the most reckless president in american history the letter was signed by michael chertoff and tom ridge former secretaries of homeland security michael v hayden a former director of the cia and the national security agency and john d negroponte a former director of national intelligence and deputy secretary of state among others separately wadi gaitan the chief spokesman for the florida republican party announced that as a result of differences with trump he is leaving his job to join a conservative organization i m thankful for my almost two years with the florida gop however moving on gives me a great new opportunity to continue promoting free market solutions while avoiding efforts that support donald trump gaitan who is hispanic said in a statement in detroit protesters sidetracked trump s speech repeatedly unlike in large rallies where trump often calls for demonstrators to be removed riling up the crowd he waited patiently as they were escorted out monday at one point he remarked calmly this is all very well planned out his speech outlined a plan designed to accelerate economic growth largely in classic conservative fashion by reducing taxes and regulations on businesses and by opening vast new swaths of federal land and water to drilling he said that as president he would sign an executive order creating a temporary regulatory moratorium on new agency regulations i am going to cut regulations massively he said massively freezing all pending federal regulations would include many wall street regulations created by the dodd frank legislation passed in the wake of the financial crisis trump s energy agenda would open new sections of american coastal waters to offshore oil drilling and sweep away the obama administration s efforts to fight climate change both moves have frequently found widespread support among republican lawmakers and in conservative policy circles in other areas he skirted or defied republican orthodoxy trump made no attempt to propose spending cuts or other measures to offset his proposed tax rate cuts or begin to reduce the national debt as he has promised to do in the past his child care expense plan could increase the debt even further unless it were offset by spending cuts or a rapid increase in economic growth so could an infrastructure spending plan that he has said could cost more than billion the plan also promises to increase growth by reducing the united states trade deficit with china and other trading partners in part by levying tariffs on imported goods from those countries some economists including trump adviser peter navarro say that reducing the trade deficit would boost growth others including mark zandi of moody s analytics warn that a tariff war could push the united states and much of the world into recession trump has adopted hard line opposition to sweeping trade agreements arguing that they have hurt american workers he reiterated his commitment to renegotiating the north american free trade agreement and withdrawing from the trans pacific partnership he singled out president bill clinton for signing nafta and accused the accord of moving u s jobs abroad he said a vote for hillary clinton is a vote for tpp the one common feature of every hillary clinton idea is that it punishes you for working and doing business in the united states trump said as secretary of state clinton praised tpp but in the democratic primary she abandoned her support for the agreement most congressional republicans support the multi nation pact anne gearan in st petersburg fla and carole morello and ed o keefe in

movies in the past and where to invade next may be the best of them but i expected trumpland to be about trump funny honest at least relatively free of jokes glorifying mass murder i was wrong on all counts and would like my back michael moore s new movie is a film of him doing a stand up comedy show about how wonderfully awesome hillary clinton is except that he mentions trump a bit at the beginning and he s dead serious about clinton being wonderfully awesome this film is a text book illustration of why rational arguments for lesser evilist voting do not work lesser evilists become self delusionists they identify with their lesser evil candidate and delude themselves into adoring the person moore is not pushing the elect her and then hold her accountable stuff he says we have a responsibility to support her and get behind her and that if after two years yes two years she hasn t lived up to a platform he s fantasized for her well then never fear because he michael moore will run a joke presidential campaign against her for the next two years this from a guy who backed restricting the length of election campaigns in one of his better works moore maintains that virtually all criticism of hillary clinton is nonsense what do we think he asks that she asks how many millions of dollars you ve put into the clinton foundation and then she agrees to bomb yemen for you bwahahaha pretty funny except that saudi arabia put over million into the clinton foundation and while she was secretary of state boeing put in another upon which hillary clinton reportedly made it her mission to get the planes sold to saudi arabia despite legal restrictions the planes now dropping u s made bombs on yemen with u s guidance u s refueling mid air u s protection at the united nations and u s cover in the form of pop culture distraction and deception from entertainers like michael moore standing before a giant air force missile and enormous photos of hillary clinton michael moore claims that substantive criticism of clinton can consist of only two things which he dismisses in a flash her vote for a war on iraq and her coziness with wall street he says nothing more about what that coziness consists of and he claims that she s more or less apologized and learned her lesson on iraq what it wasn t one vote it was numerous votes to start the war fund it and escalate it it was the lies to get it going and keep it going it s all the other wars before and since she says president obama was wrong not to launch missile strikes on syria in she pushed hard for the overthrow of qadaffi in she supported the coup government in honduras in she has backed escalation and prolongation of war in afghanistan she skillfully promoted the white house justification for the war on iraq she does not hesitate to back the use of drones for targeted killing she has consistently backed the military initiatives of israel she was not ashamed to laugh at the killing of qadaffi she has not hesitated to warn that she could obliterate iran she is eager to antagonize russia she helped facilitate a military coup in ukraine she has the financial support of the arms makers and many of their foreign customers she waived restrictions at the state department on selling weapons to saudi arabia algeria kuwait united arab emirates oman and qatar all states wise enough to donate to the clinton foundation she supported president bill clinton s wars and the power of the president to make war without congress she has advocated for arming fighters in syria and for a no fly zone she supported a surge in iraq even before president bush did that s just her war problem what about her banking problem prison problem fracking problem corporate trade problem corporate healthcare problem climate change problem labor problem social security problem etc moore parts company from substantive critique in order to lament unproven rightwing claims that hillary clinton has murdered various people i hope she did screams moore that s who i want as commander in chief hee hee hee then moore shamelessly pushes the myth that hillary tried to create single payer or at least universal healthcare whatever that is in the in fact as i heard paul wellstone tell it single payer easily won the support of clinton s focus group but she buried it for her corporate pals and produced the phonebook size monstrosity that was dead on arrival but reborn in another form years later as obamacare she killed single payer then has not supported it since and does not propose it now well she does admit in private that it s the only thing that works as her husband essentially blurts out in public but moore claims that because we didn t create universal healthcare in the we all have the blood of millions on our hands millions whom hillary would have saved had we let her moore openly fantasizes what would it be like if hillary clinton is secretly progressive remember that moore and many others did the exact same thing with obama eight years ago to prove clinton s progressiveness moore plays an audio clip of her giving a speech at age in which she does not hint at any position on any issue whatsoever mostly however moore informs us that hillary clinton is female he anticipates that glorious moment when the other gender has a chance to run this world and kick some righteous ass now tell me please dear world if your ass is kicked by killers working for a female president will you feel better about it how do you like moore s inclusive comments throughout his performance we re all americans right moore s fantasy is that clinton will dash off a giant pile of executive orders just writing congress out of the government executive orders doing things like releasing all nonviolent drug offenders from prison immediately something the real hillary clinton would oppose in every way she could but when he runs for president moore says he ll give everybody free drugs i ll tell you the clinton ad i d like to see she s standing over a stove holding an egg this is your brain she says solemnly cracking it into the pan with a sizzle this is your brain on partisanship

medicine cabinet lately according to the food and drug administration that is precisely where you should find them because diamond foods made truthful claims about the health benefits of consuming walnuts that the fda didn t approve it sent the company a letter declaring your walnut products are drugs and new drugs at that and therefore they may not legally be marketed in the united states without an approved new drug application the agency even threatened diamond with seizure if it failed to comply diamond s transgression was to make financial investments to educate the public and supply them with walnuts as william faloon of life extension magazine put it on its website and packaging the company stated that the omega fatty acids found in walnuts have been shown to have certain health benefits including reduced risk of heart disease and some types of cancer these claims faloon notes are well supported by scientific research life extension has published articles that describe the health benefits of walnuts and the us national library of medicine database contains no fewer than peer reviewed published papers supporting a claim that ingesting walnuts improves vascular health and may reduce heart attack risk this evidence was apparently not good enough for the fda which told diamond that its walnuts were misbranded because the product bears health claims that are not authorized by the fda the fda s letter continues we have determined that your walnut products are promoted for conditions that cause them to be drugs because these products are intended for use in the prevention mitigation and treatment of disease furthermore the products are also misbranded because they are offered for conditions that are not amenable to self diagnosis and treatment by individuals who are not medical practitioners therefore adequate directions for use cannot be written so that a layperson can use these drugs safely for their intended purposes who knew you had to have directions to eat walnuts the fda s language faloon writes resembles that of an out of control police state where tyranny over rationality he adds this kind of bureaucratic tyranny sends a strong signal to the food industry not to innovate in a way that informs the public about foods that protect against disease while consumers increasingly reach for healthier dietary choices the federal government wants to deny food companies the ability to convey findings from scientific studies about their products walnuts aren t the only food whose health benefits the fda has tried to suppress producers of pomegranate juice and green tea among others have felt the bureaucrats wrath whenever they have suggested that their products are good for people meanwhile faloon points out foods that have little to no redeeming value are advertised endlessly often with dubious health claims attached for example frito lay is permitted to make all kinds of claims about its fat laden fried products including that lay s potato chips are heart healthy faloon concludes that the fda obviously does not want the public to discover that they can reduce their risk of age related disease by consuming healthy foods they prefer consumers only learn about mass marketed garbage foods that shorten life span by increasing degenerative disease risk faloon thinks he knows why this is the case first by stifling competition from makers of more healthful alternatives junk food manufacturers who he says heavily lobb the federal government for favorable treatment will rake in ever greater profits second by making it less likely that americans will consume healthful foods big pharmaceutical companies and medical device manufacturers stand to gain by selling more expensive cardiac drugs stents and coronary bypass procedures to those made ill by their diets but people are starting to fight back against the fda s tactics the makers of pomegranate juice for example have sued the ftc for censoring their first amendment right to communicate scientific information to the public faloon reports congress is also getting into the act with a bill the free speech about science act h r that faloon writes protects basic free speech rights ends censorship of science and enables the natural health products community to share peer reviewed scientific findings with the public of course if the constitution were being followed as intended none of this would be necessary the fda would not exist but if it did as a creation of congress it would have no power to censor any speech whatsoever if companies are making false claims about their products the market will quickly punish them for it and genuine fraud can be handled through the courts in the absence of a government agency supposedly guaranteeing the safety of their food and drugs and the truthfulness of producers claims consumers would become more discerning as indeed they already are becoming despite the fda s attempts to prevent the dissemination of scientific research besides as faloon observed if anyone still thinks that federal agencies like the fda protect the public this proclamation that healthy foods are illegal drugs exposes the government s sordid charade

betrayed is unheard of today this press conference on the alleged bombing of aleppo hospitals by russia it is damning damnable evidence of what i am saying this is of course if one watches intently and then reasons compare what kirby says with what you have seen or read from the wall street journal or the new york times measure the tone and content of this unique message bear with me and i ll help you convict these warmongers of their crimes the circus of liars i must point out that barack obama has had more state department spokespersons than any president in history first there was sean mccormack from to a leftover from the bush administration after mccormack s tour of administration liar in chief he joined boeing in and serves as the as vice president of communications in government operations mccormack left the obama administration to more or less help hillary clinton and the clique extend the growth of companies like boeing this washington post piece amazingly condemns both hillary clinton and mccormack for their apparent collusion to morph policy into business with guess who why mother russia of course philip j p j crowley made his deal with the devil from to the recipient of the general omar n bradley chair in strategic leadership the military ties to state is a war college bred and reared pentagon puppet the fact most recent state department liars are former military begs the question why is our foreign policy institution lined with cia spooks war college graduates and command grade military officers crowley is an interesting example of how our foreign service is infested with war hawks and military industrial minions to crowley s credit his candidness in the wake of the mistreatment of whistleblower chelsea manning and his subsequent resignation redeemed this old soldier by comparison to his colleagues he is emblematic of a system that uses good soldiers in order to mislead the people and to misdirect our policies toward the wrong goals crowley is pretty much off the radar now but somehow still semi loyal to the obama clinton team his tweets on twitter hum the democratic party line he s now a fellow at the george washington university institute for public diplomacy which means he s been let out to pasture next we come to victoria jane nuland the pin up girl of soulless and reprehensible us bureaucrats from my perspective as someone who has covered the ukraine civil war extensively nuland in kiev reminds me of the worst parts of the rise of nazi germany i cannot possibly be bombastic enough in characterizing this hillary clinton spawn it is not my nature to be unkind or less than a gentleman but this woman is no lady her hacked conversation with fellow psychopath us ambassador to ukraine geoffrey pyatt lives in infamy amidst volumes of horrid us intentions fuck the eu along with the clear regime change the obama white house was behind should have spelled resignation for this demonic washington witch she and her colleague pyatt are complicit in the deaths of thousands of innocent men women and children in the donbass nuland who most agree will be hillary clinton s secretary of state should she reach office is the most deadly psychopath the american people could possibly put in charge of our foreign service for the russians who still have to deal with her i am sure minutes looking at her is unbearable this is america fiddling while our reputation abroad burns she is the queen of regime change she and her husband children of the ideology america needs to forcefully alter world governments this is the wow persona the caricature of disastrous washington policy don t take my word research nuland starting here and see where it leads jen psaki lied so well and stuck up her nose to the dissenting press so expertly she graduated the us state department right up to the white house those of us who winced at her nonchalant misrepresentation of facts also understand she is part of the clique that now inhabits the halls of power in washington psaki is part of a country club that runs it all if the democrats win in november s presidential election people like psaki will become monsters an empowered american politburo kin to the worst fascists in history psaki is the official cheerleader now of a white house campaign to create a legacy for the worst president in american history catch her twitter feed and figure out why in the world barack obama would want to be a wired magazine editor for a day despite her pallid and docile appearance make no mistake this obama minion is as deadly as nuland maybe even more so i recall psaki launched a social media attack on russia that was nearly universally ridiculed as hash tag diplomacy her hot mic comment on her own points on egypt at a press conference as being ridiculous they remind me of obama being caught promising then russian president dmitry medvedev he d fix the abm missiles issue if he won in what makes this spokesperson so dangerous is her forward enthusiasm and her seeming happy go lucky satisfaction with being part of the biggest lie ever perpetrated lying is transfigured into truth a job well worth doing good god finally we come to john kirby naval war college trained mouthpiece for emperor caligula look him up and compare to our presidents and whichever nero we elect next a public affairs officer pao at the command level in the us navy he s what many former military people would refer to as a first class boot licker i m a squid myself so i am familiar with the type kirby would climb a tree to tell a lie if ordered to do so and show righteousness in doing so kirby kerry the whole obama administration is utterly absurd this recent press conference reveals just how out of bounds us policy is furthermore kirby s contention the syrian war cannot end without airpower being grounded is likewise idiotic the state department s stance on russia s hammering of jihadists only makes sense if the overthrow of assad and his legitimate government is a goal john kirby syrian war won t end without grounding aircraft this is the headline that calls our attention to the fact assad is about to wreck washington s plan regime change has become such a common term now that media consumers are immune to what it really means since the first bush took office since the fall of the berlin wall more governments have been turned upside down than at any time since world war ii and the kirbys of the world are accomplices to massive world chaos kirby s russians in body bags threat has pushed the kremlin s panic button now we have descended into crisis policy an all or nothing lunacy that can only end in war three rings of evil clowns these people are all deplorable but compared to the linchpins of war they speak for each is insignificant by comparison this message for instance the new york times headline u s officials say russia probably attacked u n humanitarian convoy it did not originate with them our new probably dogma is a function of a failing freedom the complete takeover of a free press by western oligarchs that make russian mafia types seem impotent watching this evil circus reminds me of a twisted horror movie a guttural glimpse at wicked clowns betraying the children they are supposed to love and entertain the soros and rockefeller types those rothschilds and the goldman sachs sharks silicon valley fakers and wall street urchins the clintons take money off of the whole mess in our nation s capital stinks to high heavens just how my countrymen stomach it leaves me breathless and clueless at times america is taking part in a wider broadcast of the movie the truman show these days raised up to believe in freedom of the press and the merits of democracy my countrymen have been conditioned to rely on their media their leaders and the seeming implausibility that one group can take over the world well a group has taken over half of it and with the proper time and funding this can be proven since i or some other researcher has no such investigative grant the case against these evil clowns goes untried the nation slate global research rt and myriad independent media attempt to dissent but trillions of dollars flow back and forth fueling the paranoiac message russia is the enemy again the first ring of circus clowns wield more power than xerxes the bilderbergs probably even believe their own cause perpetuating the elite order is after all a noble genetic cause in the second ring business types and the oh so aggressive and ambitious they will literally do anything to succeed the clintons bushs and obamas out there are the master puppets their mission is pretty clear pay the devil his due and cash in it s really as simple as all that today s washington is a bit like chicago during capone s time once the man has you he s got you but good la cosa nostra hasn t got anything on the numbers games along the potomac the little crime bosses grown up from their internships and grant designations they pepper every institution in america as they graduate god knows what goals the kirbys of the world set out to achieve in the wider center ring it s easy to see the clinton foundation workers really do drink bill and hillary s kool aid mind washed into believing in the ultimate bullshit naïve middle intellectuals become squirming opportunists oblivious to the fact they sold out the man has got them and early on meanwhile the whole mess is cloaked in the guise of democracy and hidden underneath people s fear they ll be called conspiracy theorists george orwell s seems to have been written to exclude the possibility complete control could be achieved but isn t that how complete control is ultimately achieved above the center ring high up on the flying trapeze liberty defies death the people are doing a high wire act without a net we are the third ring of clowns only we are hesitant to see our role as sellouts too america is life under the big top with our favorite pop stars handing out peanuts i don t know how you feel about it but i feel utterly betrayed

the philippines just over a month ago promising to get tough on crime by having the police and the military kill drug suspects people have been killed in the campaign according to tallies of police reports by the local news media most were killed in confrontations with the police while were killed by unidentified vigilantes this has prompted people to turn themselves in as either drug addicts or dealers since mr duterte took office according to national police logs addressing congress last week in his first state of the nation address mr duterte reiterated his approach ordering the police to triple their efforts against crime we will not stop until the last drug lord the last financier and the last pusher have surrendered or been put behind bars or below the ground if they so wish he said but human rights groups roman catholic activists and the families of many of those killed during the crackdown say that the vast majority were poor filipinos many of whom had nothing to do with the drug trade they were not accorded an accusation and a trial but were simply shot down in the streets the critics say these are not the wealthy and powerful drug lords who actually have meaningful control over supply of drugs on the streets in the philippines said phelim kine a deputy director of human rights watch in asia critics of the president s campaign have rallied around the case of michael siaron a rickshaw driver in manila who was shot one night by unidentified gunmen as he pedaled his vehicle in search of a passenger when his wife rushed to the scene a photographer took a picture of her cradling his body in the street and the photograph quickly gained wide attention scribbled in block letters on a cardboard sign left near his body was the word pusher his family members insist that he was not involved in the drug trade though they said he sometimes used meth indirectly acknowledging criticism that his policies trample over the standard judicial process mr duterte said that human rights cannot be used as a shield to destroy the country he has called for drug users and sellers to turn themselves in or risk being hunted down a threat backed up by the bodies piling up near daily on the streets of philippine cities the approach appears to be driving down crime the police say that they have arrested more than people on charges related to using or selling illegal drugs and that crime nationwide has fallen percent since the election to reported crimes in june from in may mr duterte s crackdown has been hugely popular filipinos pummeled by years of violent crime and corrupt ineffective law enforcement handed him an overwhelming victory in the may presidential election and have largely embraced his approach a national opinion poll conducted after his election and just before he took office found that percent of filipinos had much trust in him the model for mr duterte s policies is davao city where he was mayor for most of the past years draconian laws there including a strict curfew and a smoking ban as well as a approach to drug users and sellers have been credited with turning the city into an oasis of safety in a region plagued by violence the dark side of that approach was that more than people were killed by death squads during his administration according to several independent investigations mr duterte has denied having direct knowledge of death squads but he has long called for addressing crime by killing suspects whom he calls criminals and has referred to as a legitimate target of assassination he has repeatedly said that those hooked on meth the most popular drug here were beyond saving or rehabilitation he ran for president largely on the pledge of applying the same policies nationwide promising to kill criminals in his first six months in office while the number may have been typical duterte bravado the threat of mass killing appears to have been real on tuesday the international drug policy consortium a network of nongovernmental organizations issued a letter urging the united nations drug control agencies to demand an end to the atrocities currently taking place in the philippines and to state unequivocally that extrajudicial killings do not constitute acceptable drug control measures ramon casiple a political analyst at the institute for political and electoral reform said that he shared those concerns but that it was too early to decide whether mr duterte s approach is effective let s give him his days mr casiple said mr duterte has recently raised his sights beyond users and dealers accusing five police generals of protecting drug lords though he presented no specific evidence he also publicly accused a mayor the mayor s son and a prominent businessman of drug trafficking threatening their lives if they did not surrender but the people killed on the street tend to be more like mr siaron the rickshaw driver mr siaron lived with his wife in a shack above a creek having never finished high school he survived on odd jobs like house painting and working in restaurants lately he had been pedaling a rickshaw earning about a day ferrying passengers through the warren of alleyways in a part of metropolitan manila on the night he died he had stopped by his father s fruit stand to ask for an apple then he told his father he would seek one more fare before heading home as he rode off gunmen on motorcycles sped by pumping several bullets into him what happened next turned him into a national symbol of the human toll of mr duterte s war when she heard he had been shot mr siaron s wife jennilyn olayres ran into the street burst through police lines and collapsed next to him on the asphalt the photographer snapped the picture a distraught woman cradling her lifeless husband under a streetlight a pietà of the manila slums the police have not commented publicly about the case and have not accused mr siaron of selling drugs my husband was a simple man ms olayres said at his wake several days later he may have used drugs but he was not violent and never bothered anyone his only concern was looking for passengers so we can eat three meals a day during his speech to congress mr duterte dismissed the photo which had appeared on the front page of the philippine daily inquirer the previous day under the banner headline thou shall not kill there you are sprawled on the ground and you are portrayed in a broadsheet like mother mary cradling the dead cadaver of jesus christ he said that s just drama but if the antidrug campaign has targeted people on the margins of society mr siaron is an apt symbol we re small people insignificant ms olayres said through sobs as she stood next to her husband s coffin we may be invisible to you but we are real please stop the killings

improving the culture and upping the test scores at a struggling new orleans charter school her third graders for one take standardized tests including common core ones each year third grade students at sylvanie williams college prep elementary school read individually in class on jan in new orleans fifty percent of the children here started the academic year below grade level in reading and math the goal is to help them catch up and keep making progress this story is the third in a yearlong series following krystal hardy a first year principal trying to bring order and improve test scores at a struggling new orleans charter school the project is a partnership between the christian science monitor and the hechinger report a nonprofit nonpartisan news outlet that covers inequality and innovation in education and is affiliated with teachers college columbia university a week before their final round of common core tests the fifth graders at sylvanie williams college prep a charter school in new orleans are reviewing the procedures for solving a multi part word problem in math their principal krystal hardy looks on pay attention i ve seen these kinds of questions on the parcc test says math teacher tiffany labrie referring to the common core tests that most students in louisiana take this month this calls for converting ounces to pounds so you can use your reference sheet she tells them indicating a handout on every desk don t forget you can use the reference sheet today but also on the what asks ms labrie rhetorically parcc echoes labrie you ll have those reference sheets during the parcc tests remember to use them ms hardy who is in her first year as principal has staked her career on improving the culture and upping the test scores at this struggling elementary school located in a gritty part of new orleans central city neighborhood at the start of the academic year in august percent of the approximately students nearly all of whom are african american and most of whom are poor scored below grade level in reading and math their road to improvement is paved with tests indeed like most public school students across america pupils at sylvanie williams get tested often although hardy is trying to balance the data driven instruction with a strong social justice curriculum the earliest tests this year helped teachers figure out which students had learned the material and which ones needed that lesson again after five months hardy and her staff began diving deeper comparing test results with worksheets that students completed in class when they saw patterns of errors the teachers themselves worked through the problems trying to figure out exactly where the students were going wrong their findings have already dramatically changed the way teachers teach and the teachers are noticing that student achievement is picking up we were able to administer targeted medicine says hardy instead of saying some of these students aren t good at multiplying she says we could start to say for example that percent of these students in this class don t seem to understand the place value concept in three digit numbers and about percent say understand the concept but are not paying attention to details when they compute students at sylvanie williams take annual tests in science and social studies aligned to the state s standards plus two rounds of common core tests in english and math developed by the partnership for assessment of readiness for college and careers parcc in some grades students also take three sets of benchmarking tests three or four times a year in the end third graders who get tested the most take a whopping standardized tests per year in addition to exit tickets teacher generated assessments at the end of a unit of study testing infuses many aspects of the school day the walls of hardy s office and the teachers conference room are hung with posters sporting bar charts that show test results students and teachers talk about the test the test day and reaching basic outside a third grade classroom a colorful hand drawn poster names the children who have achieved the advanced mastery and basic levels on one test in another classroom a teacher has written out in magic marker a several foot long list of standards nf express equivalent fractions and add fractions with denominators of and presumably to keep his own teaching on target for the common core math test although a vocal minority of parents whose children tend to be enrolled in more affluent schools around the country have refused to let their kids take the common core tests no sylvanie williams families have opted out and hardy is predicting the final round won t be a problem for her scholars they re used to it she says simply early in the year diagnostic test results helped distinguish what had been taught from what had been learned hardy keeps a close eye on lesson plans teachers submit them to her each week so she knows what material is being covered by january armed with more data hardy and her teachers and coaches were really poring over the test results and that s when the dialogue around instruction began to shift the teachers started collaborating on how to quickly and directly backfill the specific foundational skills that students need to move forward after that point says fourth grade teacher terrance mitchell i think as a school we really started to see the achievement of our students begin to accelerate although hardy is committed to running a test driven school the data focus has its frustrations because the common core exams are new this year the parcc administrators need to perform technical calculations on the results this means that scores on the tests will be released to hardy after sylvanie williams s school year ends too late for teachers to use that data to course correct state political leaders are maneuvering to scuttle or at least modify the use of the common core in louisiana so it s not certain that the standards that the students are being asked to meet this year will even be around next year the school s relentless focus on standards and testing reduces time for less defined but often more meaningful types of lessons ones that help kids understand themselves their fellow students and the world around them but hardy has tried to squeeze these kinds of experiences into the school day in january she took students on a field trip to selma ala to join the commemorations of the anniversary of the march to montgomery and one morning she taught a unit on poverty in america which included having third fourth and fifth graders compare weekly expenses with median income for high school dropouts college graduates and those with a master s degree recently a fifth grade blackboard showed the remnants of a vibrant discussion about young black men police and excessive force because of the demographic our children come from many will face immense challenges and unique realities hardy says we need to prepare them to understand how the world will engage with them they need to understand how to engage with it and maybe create the possibility that they will act as change agents in their world hardy accepts that her school and her tenure as principal will be evaluated largely on test scores but she is adamant about maintaining what she sees as crucial parts of education that no test will measure this project is a partnership between the monitor and the hechinger report a nonprofit independent news website focused on inequality and innovation in education

dozen republican lawmakers at the washington law offices of jones day u s senator jeff sessions paused to acknowledge the man he said had facilitated the closed door talks he said it was jared kushner a year old real estate investor and newspaper owner who had suggested the get together last month arguing that it would enable trump to win more allies on capitol hill according to a person in the room kushner is also trump s son in law having married the republican presidential front runner s daughter ivanka in a real estate tycoon like his father in law kushner has emerged as one of a very few advisers as trump seeks the republican nomination to the nov election according to five people close to trump it is especially rare given that trump styles himself as his own best adviser and has said he consults only a few people despite a promise to hire the country s top minds once he becomes president while well respected kushner has no official campaign role trump spokeswoman hope hicks said she confirmed however that kushner had helped with the sessions meeting and had informally advised the candidate on israel and in other areas in an interview kushner s friend david schulhof founder of a music publishing company cited a level headedness and listening skill that would make kushner a calming influence this could be helpful to trump who entered the race months ago hailing his having never held public office as an asset but whose campaign has been rocked by turbulence over remarks offensive to women muslims immigrants party loyalists and others at times kushner has urged trump to behave like a more traditional candidate stressing the importance of building relationships with politicians and traditionally active donors say the sources close to trump speaking on condition of anonymity they also say kushner can use friendships like the ones he has with media mogul rupert murdoch and billionaire ronald perelman as a bridge to influential people with whom his father in law is not close neither murdoch nor perelman would comment for this story an orthodox jew whose wife ivanka converted to judaism before they married kushner and his family have connections to israel along with his father also a prominent real estate developer kushner was listed in a report by the american israel public affairs committee aipac as a benefactor for its real estate committee which required a donation of at least to the powerful pro israel lobbying group kushner s parents donated million two years ago to a medical school campus in jerusalem now named after them using his family and business ties kushner arranged a series of meetings for trump during a trip the candidate planned to make to israel last year the sources say the trip never happened trump scrapped it after israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu condemned his proposal to ban muslims from entering the united states trump later suggested that if elected he would not take sides in the dispute between israel and the palestinians a stance he said would help him negotiate a peace deal but which was unusually neutral for an american politician looking to court voters on israel ahead of aipac s annual conference last month in washington kushner advised his father in law to lay out concrete policies that would help smooth over relations with the jewish community according to two sources he further advised him to use a teleprompter for the speech ditching his usual conversational style the people close to trump said it was also kushner who fielded a call from israel s ambassador to the united states ron dermer who wanted to offer trump the israeli government s perspective ahead of the aipac speech according to the sources dermer s office declined to comment in the end trump delivered an uncharacteristically detailed speech to the people who attended the conference outlining a series of policy positions broadly aligned with aipac s an aipac spokesman declined to comment trump told attendees that palestinians must scrub hatred of israel from their educational system and stop naming public places after people who attacked israel he said the united states must stand with israel in rejecting attempts by the united nations to impose restrictions on israel or parameters for a peace deal he criticized the u s deal with iran as bad for israel while helping trump craft the speech kushner sought advice from the politically connected editor of his newspaper the new york observer the editor ken kurson a former speech writer for former new york mayor rudy giuliani wrote in an email to reuters that he reviewed the speech before trump delivered it trump has loomed large in kushner s life since day one of his marriage the new york post reported that invitations to kushner s wedding held at a trump golf club in new jersey included a flier advertising trump s other golf properties kushner who with his wife has taken family vacations with news corp nwsa o owner murdoch and his ex wife wendi deng has worked to calm murdoch s ire with trump over the candidate s criticism of the company s fox news channel and star anchor megyn kelly two people familiar with his activities say during regular phone calls and lunches kushner tries both to soothe murdoch and stump for his father in law these people said despite his influence behind the scenes kushner keeps a largely low profile on the campaign trail during a trump rally in south carolina last november he hung back while other family members took the stage until his father in law called him out where s jared jared get up here trump shouted kushner clad in charcoal colored pants and a black quilted down vest shuffled up hands jammed in his pockets jared s a very successful developer and he just loves politics now trump said adding with a bit of gleeful teasing look at him see the way he dresses story corrects real estate billionaire to billionaire in paragraph characterization of ronald perelman
