<p><span>Michael Gavlak, Emmy Award-Winning News Producer, will act as the Chief Justice of the International Criminal Court when Del Valle High School students prosecute Talaat Pasha for the crimes of Genocide, Crimes against Humanity, and War Crimes.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>At 10:45 in the morning of March 15, 1921, on a street in Berlin, Germany, Talaat Pasha, former Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire, was killed by a 24-year-old Armenian student, Soghomon Tehlirian. At the trial, with the death penalty on the table, Soghomon’s attorneys turned that table and put Talaat, the ‘victim’ on trial for the Armenian Genocide. These are the facts of history.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>But imagine if these events had transpired differently. What if an International Criminal Court had existed in 1921? And what if Talaat had not been assassinated. If the case against Talaat had been tried in the ICC, what would the verdict have been?</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>Wonder no further. On the 100th anniversary of Talaat’s death, that trial will begin. We would like to thank Michael Cunningham, Director of Global Scholars Diploma Program, Michael Gavlak, Award-Winning Hollywood Producer, and the legal students at Del Valle High School who demonstrate this court case- The ICC v Talaat Pasha- Monday, March 15, 2021, at 10:45 Central time- 8:45 Pacific.<a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/8495294499?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/8495294499?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-center" style="padding: 50px;"/></a><br/></span></p>More Details on The November 23 World Affairs Council of Austin Intenational Moot Court Competitiontag:www.educationbeyondborders.org,2020-09-20:2213732:BlogPost:874612020-09-20T17:26:54.000ZWorld Class Schoolshttp://www.educationbeyondborders.org/profile/WorldClassSchools

<br/>
<h2><b><i>Dispute in the East China Sea Jan 2019</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>Tensions are escalating rapidly in the East China Sea, where Japan and China have competing sovereignty claims over the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands. Both nations have asserted overlapping Air Defense Identification Zones over the islands. Moreover, Beijing and Tokyo do not agree on their maritime boundary, and thus their navies operate in close proximity in the East China Sea. Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force surveillance planes and Chinese People’s Liberation Air Force fighter jets have repeatedly come in dangerously close contact off the coast of China. Both Tokyo and Beijing refuse to give ground, claiming their militaries are operating legitimately in accordance with international law.</i></b></h2>

<h2><b><i>Unrest in Bahrain Jan 2019</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>In the small island country of Bahrain, government and security forces have clashed with protestors seeking democratic reform. The ruling al-Khalifa family has responded to these protests with force and mass arrests. There is a history of Sunni-Shia tension in Bahrain, but sectarianism is only one dimension of broader societal stresses related to disenfranchisement and limited economic opportunity for the country’s majority. The instability in Bahrain, which hosts the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet, has far-reaching implications for the United States as it considers how to promote both its interests and its values.</i></b></h2>

<br/>
<h2><b><i>Global Climate Change Policy Jan 2019</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>The president of the United States plans to attend a major upcoming international climate summit. Members of the National Security Council will need to consider a strategic goal for the summit, bearing in mind the potential impact of climate change, the potential effects of proposed mitigation measures, and the need to secure international support for the U.S. approach from both developed and developing countries.</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>Last updated 8/29/2017</i></b></h2>
<br/>
<h2><b><i>Drones in Pakistan Feb. 2019</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, the United States has pursued a vigorous campaign against terrorist groups, including in Pakistan. When information emerges about the location of al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in Pakistan, the United States must decide whether to try to capture or kill him—and if so, how. Grappling with the challenges of both counterterrorism and U.S.-Pakistan ties, this case demands the consideration of drone strikes and other imperfect options in the context of a complex and sometimes dysfunctional relationship.</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>Last updated 10/8/2018</i></b></h2>
<br/>
<h2><b><i>Humanitarian Intervention in South Sudan Feb. 2019</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>Rival South Sudanese factions have fought a civil war since the end of 2013, causing mass displacements, tens of thousands of deaths, and widespread hunger. Negotiations between the leaders of these factions are stalled, and South Sudan’s dry season approaches, signaling intensified fighting and a humanitarian crisis of potentially historic proportions. The president has asked the National Security Council (NSC) for options on whether and how the United States should pursue a humanitarian intervention in or around South Sudan.</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>Last updated 8/27/2018</i></b></h2>
<br/>
<h2><b><i>Collapse in Venezuela Feb 2019</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>After an economic collapse sparks popular protests, the president of Venezuela flees the country. Two members of the ruling party claim the presidency, but neither is able to stabilize the economy or establish full control. Meanwhile, protests continue, factions of the military abandon the government, violence escalates, and drug trafficking and paramilitary activity increase. The National Security Council (NSC) meets to weigh the situation, which both poses threats to the United States and offers the chance to improve relations with an influential regional power and major oil exporter. To recommend a course of action, NSC members must consider how to prioritize and pursue the U.S. interests at stake, including economic stabilization, regional security, a stable flow of oil, protection of human rights, and restoration of democratic governance and the rule of law.</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>Last updated 5/30/2018</i></b></h2>
<br/>
<h2><b><i>Interrogation Policy Feb 2019</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>Two al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) militants, holding Saudi passports, have attempted a suicide mission against the U.S. Embassy in Amman, Jordan. One of the attackers was successful, but the other was detained. Intelligence indicates that AQAP intends to carry out further imminent attacks on other U.S. embassies across Europe and the Middle East. The National Security Council (NSC) meets to consider whether the president should authorize enhanced interrogation techniques in an effort to obtain information that could prevent the attacks. In this case, the NSC must weigh the U.S. commitment to international norms against the potential for catastrophic harm.</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>Last updated 3/5/2018</i></b></h2>
<br/>
<h2><b><i>Israeli-Palestinian Impasse March 2019</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>A new U.S. president has taken office and directed that a review be undertaken to determine policy on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The United States has long promoted a two-state solution, but the prospect of a final settlement of the conflict has become increasingly remote after years of fitful and inconclusive negotiations. The stakes for the United States are significant, though they are clearly highest for Israelis and Palestinians. NSC members are tasked with debating whether it is in the U.S. interest to try to inject momentum into the peace process and, if so, how. Debating the options requires attention to both the complex history of the conflict and the specific dynamics of the situation today.</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>Last updated 2/12/2018</i></b></h2>
<br/>
<h2><b><i>Economic Crisis in Europe March 2019</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>One of France’s largest banks needs a bailout that its government likely cannot provide, roiling global markets. The National Security Council meets to recommend to the president how the United States should respond to this evolving European financial crisis, which threatens to infect U.S. banks. With Europe expected to enter an economic downturn, and the unity of the European Union (EU) and the eurozone challenged by the rise of extremist political parties in many countries, the crisis jeopardizes Europe’s ability to act as a strong partner to the United States in confronting global challenges.</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>Last updated 3/13/2018</i></b></h2>
<br/>
<h2><b><i>Russia and NATO in the Baltics April 2019</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>In recent months, relations between Latvia’s ethnic Latvian majority and its ethnic Russian minority have grown more tense. When intelligence services receive information that a Russian special operations unit has crossed the border, the Latvian prime minister declares a state of emergency and imposes martial law. The United States faces a seeming repetition of Russian actions in Ukraine, but the stakes for the United States and its allies are considerably higher in Latvia, a fellow member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>Last updated 2/26/2018</i></b></h2>
<br/>
<h2><b><i>Boko Haram in Nigeria April 2019</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>Boko Haram, a radical Islamist movement, is waging an insurgency against the Nigerian government. Its campaign, estimated to have killed at least twenty thousand people in recent years, threatens the stability of Nigeria, a major oil producer and Africa’s most populous country. Following a massive Boko Haram attack in Lagos, Nigeria’s president has requested that the United States sell heavy military equipment to the country. The National Security Council needs to advise the president on whether to authorize the sale, which is currently prohibited under U.S. law because of the Nigerian military’s reported human rights abuses.</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>Last updated 7/31/2018</i></b></h2>
<br/>
<h2><b><i>Iran Deal Breach April 2019</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>This case is set in January 2017. Iran’s nuclear program, alongside its broader threats to security in the Middle East, has long troubled the United States and its allies. In 2015, the United States, Iran, and five other countries reached a landmark agreement that offers Iran relief from international sanctions in exchange for vigorous inspections and restraints on its nuclear program. Israel has now accused Iran of violating the accord by operating a clandestine nuclear enrichment facility, prompting a diplomatic stalemate over access to the disputed site. National Security Council (NSC) members need to advise the president on how best to respond.</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>Last updated 3/19/2018</i></b></h2>
<br/>
<h2><b><i>Cyber Clash With China May 2019</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>Cyberspace is a new domain of conflict that has few accepted standards of behavior. In recent years, China has exerted authority over areas of the South China Sea also claimed by other Asian countries, leading to tension with the United States. A few days ago, following several incidents in both cyberspace and the South China Sea itself, the Nasdaq stock market was hacked, which significantly harmed the U.S. economy. U.S. intelligence agencies believe some in the Chinese government knew about the attack, for which a Chinese hacker collective claimed credit. National Security Council members need to advise the president on the merits of a cyber response, economic sanctions, or military measures.</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>Last updated 2/26/2018</i></b></h2>
<br/>
<h2><b><i>North Korean Nuclear Threat May 2019</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>Following a North Korean satellite launch and other developments, the director of national intelligence has informed the president that North Korea is now capable of firing a nuclear-armed missile against the United States. The president has called an NSC meeting to discuss how to respond to North Korea’s enhanced capabilities.</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>Last updated 8/27/2018</i></b></h2>
<br/>
<h2><b><i>The Korean War [Historical Case] June 2019</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>It is late summer 1950, and the United States is at war on the Korean Peninsula. Just a few months earlier, the Soviet-backed Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) invaded the U.S.-supported Republic of Korea (South Korea), making significant territorial gains and pushing U.S.-led UN forces to the southern tip of the peninsula. Plans are in place for a landing near the border with North Korea, which, if successful, will swiftly liberate South Korea. President Harry Truman is now faced with a fundamental question: should U.S. forces simply restore the status prior to the war, pushing North Korea’s military back beyond its own border, or should the United States push on and try to unify the peninsula under a single, democratic government?</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>Last updated 8/8/2018</i></b></h2>
<br/>
<h2><b><i>NATO Enlargement [Historical Case]</i></b></h2>
<h2><b><i>It is January 1994, and the world is dealing with the aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States’ main adversary. The country has disintegrated into several independent states, many of them dealing with political turmoil and economic challenges. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), a military alliance formed to defend Western European allies from the Soviet Union, is at a crossroads. Members of the NSC must decide whether NATO should survive, and if so, how its purpose and activities should evolve in this new era. Should NATO retreat into the woodwork, given the Soviet threat is no longer relevant? Or should the alliance expand its membership to include former Soviet countries, setting off a new era of European security?</i></b></h2>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Humans are primarily driven by self</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>interest</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Saba High School First Speech </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Definitely people are different from each other and it is</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">because of their nature and interests. All of us know that</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">living in this world is not easy. We have three kinds of</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">situations that people can face them.</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">The first one is a condition that people are going to do</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">some thing that is really their love and favorite.</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">For example there is a woman who really enjoys</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">teaching and dealing with untolerable students. Although</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">it is completely unbelievable for us, but she is mad with</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">it.</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">The second condition is the situation which some one</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">lives to do something but maybe we fear or not being</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">able to do it, so we will not enjoy it.</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">For example a person who likes to jump from high</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">platform or something like that but he fears. It is</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">completely complicated and psychologists prefer and</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">suggest that these people should see their loves and</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">never try to do it. Like a boy who fears of experiencing</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">speed but loves to watch car racing.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">And the third one is the most complicated from the</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">others. In some situations we have to do imposed duties</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">or obey some rules and if we do not, we have to pay the</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">imposed fine too.</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">As we told, sometime happens that we have to choose a</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">way of life in different fields like study courses or what to</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">wear or what to buy or maybe our job that are not really</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">our favorites.</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">The psychologists believe that these people in these</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">situations try to come to terms with them and enjoy it</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">but more than 50 percent of them are not as happy as</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">they can and as thy really deserve. In many times they</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">think about their interests or their habits which used to</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">do.</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">For example one of my friends had to study medicine</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">because of her family and their force but she really loves</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">to be a famous pianist. In every free time that she has,</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">she plays piano and to be honest, she is extraordinary in</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">it. Now she is a really good surgeon and works in one of</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">the best hospitals in Tehran but when you talk to her, she</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">will say every details which has happened recently in the</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">world of music and her eye really shine when she speaks.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">You see, her self interest has directed her to the way</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">that she can enjoy this beautiful earth.</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">If I want to be honest, there are many cases that we are</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">not imposed to choose exactly one of them, but why we</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">have much desired to do one of them?</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">For example your mom asks you: what do you like to</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">order from restaurant tonight?</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">If I want to answer, I will undoubtedly answer pizza. But</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">why?</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">I love both of them and the chef cooks both of them</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">perfectly but it is obvious that my self interest and desire</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">is controlling me. The interesting part is that if I order</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">pasta, against my will, at the time of eating pasta I will</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">think of pizza and the joy that I have lost.</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Our self interests are controlling, directing and</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">predominating us.</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">So let it happen. Although sometimes the unpredictable</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">life will be really difficult but try to enjoy it because it will</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">not repeat for you in the future again.</span></p>

<p>We are looking for our second group of 100 high school or middle school teachers to sign up for a curriculum based classroom project- Food For Thought. For the past decade we have run video conferences on sharing food and cultures. Now we have added Google Classroom and made this project even better.</p>
<p>It works when we have teachers, like yourself, join and plan different presentations around a monthly theme. These theme vary with the months</p>
<p><strong>Sept. Sandwiches, Breads Monday Sept. 17 12:00 GMT</strong></p>
<p><strong>October- Cookies and Candies- Local customs Thursday Oct. 18, 2018, 12:00 GMT</strong></p>

<h2><strong><a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://youtu.be/nlxio38X0kM" target="_blank">Watch a presentation</a></strong></h2>
<p></p>
<p>Food For Thought will hold its first monthly video conference. The theme of this month is bread. We are going to look at bread from all over the world. That includes: Flat bread, wheat bread, potato bread, rye bread, etc. </p>
<p>Each school will sample the recipes either at home- or in class throughout the month. A good project would be to pick one type of bread and make it. Then each student will construct a 23 slide power point over local breads and sandwiches. During this process students will be doing this individually. About a week before the actual video conference- each participating school teacher will pick one or two the very best in their class to showcase at the video conference. At this time- a teacher may assign several more students to help present and field questions from the world wide audience. </p>
<p>Each presentation on Sept. 26 will be done in English; will include recipes and pictures of the food. Many schools have a finished product to show the other students. The presentations will begin at 11:00 GMT on that date. We will video the live presentation and questions. We will publish this video each month on our website. We will also this year have every student turn in a monthly project and we will publish those as well. We will use Google Classroom, Schoology and Edmodo.</p>

<p></p>
<p><strong>What does this do? What does this accomplish for the students?</strong></p>
<p>They learn presentation skills. They learn how to present in English, how to answer questions in English, and they learn how to ask questions in English. In essence they learn to think in English by learning more about food. There is an old adage that way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Now we have put a new twist on this program- a way to learn a language is through your stomach. Everyone eats. Everyone has a fun, and most of all everyone gets to learn a great deal more about other people and cultures. </p>
<p>You will open your classroom to the world and you will see a new and much different result in your student. Are you ready for a change, are you ready for improvements? If so you are ready for Food For Thought. If you have not registered your classroom do so now at </p>

<p>During World War l, 1.5 million Armenians were deported and massacred in the Ottoman Empire (modern-day Turkey).[1]</p>
<p> </p>
<h3><a href="http://worldwithoutgenocide.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Where.jpg"><img class="alignleft wp-image-3369" title="Where" src="http://worldwithoutgenocide.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Where.jpg" alt="" width="92" height="43"/></a></h3>
<p>The Ottoman Empire existed in the Balkan region of the Middle East from 1300-1923. During the time of the genocide, the Ottoman Empire bordered Bulgaria and Greece in the west, the Mediterranean Sea in the south and southwest, the Black Sea in the north, Iraq and Syria in the southwest, and the Russian empire in the east and northeast.[2]</p>
<p>Today, Armenia is an independent republic. It encompasses only a small area of the land that was historically the Armenian homeland.[3]</p>
<p> </p>
<h3><a href="http://worldwithoutgenocide.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/When.jpg"><img class="alignleft wp-image-3368" title="When" src="http://worldwithoutgenocide.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/When.jpg" alt="" width="85" height="38"/></a></h3>
<p>The Armenian community resided in the Middle East for thousands of years and was governed by various empires including the Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, and Mongols. Armenia was the first nation to adopt Christianity as a state religion in 301 C.E.[3] Their arts community flourished, with unique literature, art, and architecture.[4]</p>
<p>The Ottoman Empire invaded the Armenian homeland in the 11th century and Muslim Turks controlled the Armenians for hundreds of years until the Armenian region was eventually absorbed into the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire saw a severe decline in the 1800s as the rest of Europe industrialized. Their once invincible armies became inferior to Europe’s heavily-modernized armies. The Ottoman Empire began to crumble when Greece, Serbia, and Romania gained independence in the 1800s, but the Armenians and Arabs of the Middle East remained under Ottoman rule.[4]</p>
<p>A long-seated religious and ethnic divide deepened between the Muslim Turks and the Christian Armenians and in the 1890s, European-educated Armenians, increasingly becoming more affluent and eager for equal status, began to push for social and political reforms. They called for a constitutional government, an end to discriminatory voting practices, and an end to taxes levied only against Christians. The Ottoman Sultan responded by instituting widespread pogroms, or violent riots, against the Armenians and more than 100,000 Armenians were killed between 1894 and 1896.[4]</p>

<p>In 1908, a nationalist reform group called the ‘Young Turks’ forced the Sultan to implement a constitutional government and a guarantee for basic rights to all. Both Armenians and Turks celebrated, hoping for increased economic prosperity, freedom, equality, and justice. The Young Turks overthrew this government in 1913, angling to unite all Turkish people and expand their empire through the Caucasus and into Central Asia. They sought to create a new empire, called Turan, with one language and one religion.[4]</p>

<p>Christian Armenians constituted 10 percent of the empire, totaling approximately two million people.[1] The government branded them as ‘infidels,’ and Islamic extremists staged violent anti-Armenian demonstrations throughout the region. Most Armenians were well-educated compared to many Turks, who were largely illiterate. Although most Armenians were very poor, a small number had excelled, despite their second-class status. The Young Turks glorified the Turk peasantry at the expense of the Armenians, turning Armenians into pariahs.[4] Although Armenians were allowed the freedom to practice their faith, mass persecution of Armenian citizens was a regular occurrence and Armenians were often scapegoated for the Ottoman Empire’s problems.[3]</p>
<p> </p>
<h3><a href="http://worldwithoutgenocide.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/How.jpg"><img class="alignleft wp-image-3364" title="How" src="http://worldwithoutgenocide.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/How.jpg" alt="" width="68" height="38"/></a></h3>
<p>When World War I began, the Ottoman Empire’s leaders allied themselves with Germany and Austria-Hungary as part of the Central Powers. While the world was focused on battle in Europe, the Ottoman Empire began a systematic campaign to eliminate the Armenian people within its borders.[4]</p>
<p>Ottoman authorities created a propaganda campaign claiming that Armenians were a threat to national security, in part because of some Armenians’ support of Russia in the ongoing World War. Because most Turks were illiterate, anti-Armenian propaganda was primarily disseminated in the sermons of Muslim mullahs and by town criers, who labeled Armenians as spies, infidels, and traitors.[5]</p>
<p>Armenian leaders and intellectuals were arrested, tortured, and killed.[4] The 40,000 Armenians serving in the military had their weapons confiscated and were forced into hard labor. Many died as a result of the brutal living and working conditions.[6]</p>
<p>Armenians’ property was confiscated. Armenian men were arrested and killed in mass shootings outside their towns and villages. Women, children, and elderly were removed from their homes and forced to march hundreds of miles without food or water to the desert of modern-day Syria.[4] Hundreds of thousands of people died on these forced marches and those who survived were put into concentration camps.[1] People were massacred indiscriminately: men and women, old and young.</p>
<p>The Turkish government created special mobile units, called the ‘Special Organization’ and comprised of criminals, to raid homes, kill villagers, and rape girls and women. Many women were kidnapped into a life of sexual servitude.[4] It is estimated that tens of thousands of children were abducted into Muslim families and forcibly converted to Islam.[7]</p>
<p>Hundreds of eyewitnesses, including government representatives of the United States, Germany, and Austria-Hungary, recorded and documented the state-sponsored massacres. Many foreign officials spoke out against the atrocities, including Pope Benedict XV, but claims were rejected and denied by the Ottoman administration. The massacres continued under the cover of World War I until the Ottoman Empire collapsed on October 30, 1918. Although most of the killings took place during World War I, the violence continued until 1923, when virtually all Armenians had been eliminated.[1] Turkey’s new leader, Mustafa Kemal, expelled all remaining Armenians, as well as Greeks and Assyrians.[3]</p>
<p>Despite widespread international awareness of the atrocities, an armed intervention to stop the genocide never occurred.[8]</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://worldwithoutgenocide.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Response.jpg"><img class="alignleft wp-image-3366" title="Response" src="http://worldwithoutgenocide.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Response.jpg" alt="" width="128" height="40"/></a></p>
<p>Contemporary scholars estimate that as many as 1.5 million Armenians were killed in the genocide and tens of thousands more were displaced.[1] The displaced survivors were largely unable to return to their former homes, as their land and property now belonged to the new Turkish government, or the Soviet state of Armenia.</p>
<p>Less than a decade later, the Armenian genocide influenced Adolf Hitler’s quest to eliminate the Jews. In a speech given prior to his invasion of Poland in 1939, Hitler said:</p>
<p>“I have issued the command — and I’ll have anybody who utters but one word of criticism executed by a firing squad — that our war aim does not consist in reaching certain lines, but in the physical destruction of the enemy. Accordingly, I have placed my death-head formation in readiness — for the present only in the East — with orders to them to send to death mercilessly and without compassion, men, women, and children of Polish derivation and language. Only thus shall we gain the living space (Lebensraum) which we need. <em>Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?</em>”[4]</p>
<p>The “Armenian Diaspora” is the most visible, contemporary effect of this atrocity; of the estimated 9 million Armenians worldwide, almost 8 million live outside of the Armenia.[9]</p>
<p>To this day, Turkey’s official stance is that the deaths of Armenians during their ‘relocation’ cannot accurately be labeled ‘genocide.’ The Turkish government actively denies the intentional nature of the atrocities. This denial has dramatically hindered Turkish foreign relations and is currently a leading factor in Turkey’s restriction from the European Union. Most scholars around the world acknowledge that the tragedy was, indeed, genocide.[3]</p>

<p>The Holodomor was a man-made famine in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic between 1932 and 1933. Millions of Ukrainians died of starvation in a peacetime catastrophe unprecedented in the history of Ukraine.<a href="http://worldwithoutgenocide.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Ukraine-Map.png"><img class=" wp-image-6332 alignright" src="http://worldwithoutgenocide.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Ukraine-Map-300x232.png" alt="Ukraine Map" width="268" height="208"/></a></p>

<p>The Ukrainian SSR was bordered by the Black Sea to the south, and the Soviet republics of Moldova and Belarus, and Czechoslovakia. The population was about 30 million and the region was approximately the size of Texas. Today, Ukraine largely covers the same area.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://worldwithoutgenocide.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/When.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-3368 alignleft" src="http://worldwithoutgenocide.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/When.jpg" alt="When" width="160" height="72"/></a></p>
<p>The years 1932-1933 were the period in which the famine occurred, but there were many historical factors leading up to the famine. The policies of mass agriculture and forced collectivization enacted by the Soviet Union, which led to the famine, began in 1929.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://worldwithoutgenocide.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/How.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-3364 alignleft" src="http://worldwithoutgenocide.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/How.jpg" alt="How" width="148" height="83"/></a></p>
<p>Through his collectivization policy, Stalin’s goal was to increase productivity from the farmers through eliminating small, privately-held farms and turning to mass agricultural policies. This resulted in the Soviet government seizing all privately owned farmland and livestock, which had a devastating effect on Ukrainians in a country where 80 percent of the people were traditional village farmers. Among the farmers, there was a class of people called Kulaks by the Communists. They were formerly wealthy farmers who owned relatively large farms or employed farm workers.<a href="http://worldwithoutgenocide.org/genocides-and-conflicts/the-holodomor#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1">[1]</a> Stalin believed any future uprising would be led by the Kulaks, who were pro-Tsarist and anti-Soviet, thus he implemented policies intended to eliminate the Kulaks as a class of Ukrainian farmers. Collectivization meant forcing millions of small farmers off their own land into larger collective farms. However, many Ukrainian farmers saw this as a return to serfdom and resisted giving up their land.<a href="http://worldwithoutgenocide.org/genocides-and-conflicts/the-holodomor#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2">[2]</a></p>

<p>Armed brigades of Soviet troops forcibly confiscated land, livestock and other property, and evicted entire families. Thousands of Ukrainians were forcibly removed from their homes and sent by train to uninhabited places in Siberia. Stalin then created mandatory quotas of foodstuffs to be shipped out of Ukraine to other parts of the Soviet Union.2 However, Ukrainian resistance only increased and there was rebellion in the streets, including the assassination of Soviet officers and Ukrainians burning down their own homes. Later, the Soviet Union increased production quotas that were impossible to meet, cut rations to those still in Ukraine, and coordinated food seizures in Ukrainian villages. This resulted in widespread malnutrition and starvation. In 1932 the Soviet Union called for the arrest or execution of anyone found taking food from the fields where they worked. Military blockades were even built around Ukrainian villages to prevent the transport of food from the outside into villages. During the famine, about 25,000 Ukrainians died every day.1</p>

<p>For decades, Ukrainians could not openly process the national trauma of the orchestrated famine because the Soviet Union would not allow it. Soviet authorities even banned any <a href="http://worldwithoutgenocide.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Holodomor-Boys.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-6334 alignright" src="http://worldwithoutgenocide.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Holodomor-Boys-300x196.jpg" alt="Holodomor Boys" width="292" height="192"/></a>discussion of the famine, and went as far as falsifying depictions of history such as portraying the famine as a natural disaster that was inevitable.<a href="http://worldwithoutgenocide.org/genocides-and-conflicts/the-holodomor#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3">[3]</a></p>

<p>Estimates regarding the number of Ukrainians who died in the Holodomor range from 3 million to 8 million. The Holodomor has been recognized by today’s Ukraine and over a dozen other countries as a genocide of the Ukrainian people carried out by the Soviet Union. The Russian government continues to cite claims of a man-made famine as “falsifications of history.”<a href="http://worldwithoutgenocide.org/genocides-and-conflicts/the-holodomor#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4">[4]</a> Australia, Brazil, Canada, Columbia, Estonia, Ecuador, Georgia, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, and the United States regard the Ukrainian Famine from 1932-1933 as a genocide.<a href="http://worldwithoutgenocide.org/genocides-and-conflicts/the-holodomor#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5">[5]</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Ukraine has many memorials to commemorate the Holodomor and the millions of people that died during the famine including the Barrow of Sorrows monument in Mhar, Poltava Oblast. The National Museum “Memorial to Holodomor victims” in Kiev opened in 2008. It is located on the Pechersk Hills and consists of a memorial complex and an underground Hall of Memory that contains permanent exhibitions and artifacts from the period during which the famine occurred.<a href="http://worldwithoutgenocide.org/genocides-and-conflicts/the-holodomor#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6">[6]</a> The United States has memorials in Washington D.C.

<p style="text-align: left;"><span class="font-size-4" style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Operation Highjump, officially titled The United States Navy Antarctic Developments Program, 1946-1947, was a United States Navy operation organized by RADM Richard E. Byrd Jr. USN, (Ret), Officer in Charge, Task Force 68, and led by RADM Richard H. Cruzen, USN, Commanding Officer, Task Force 68. Operation Highjump commenced 26 August 1946 and ended in late February 1947. Task Force 68 included 4,700 men, 13 ships, and multiple aircraft. The primary mission of Operation Highjump was to establish the Antarctic research base Little America IV or was it? You decide!</span></p>

<p><strong>2) Could it be possible for the media to be part of of the cover up without even knowing it?</strong></p>
<p><strong>3) Look at the coverage of November 22, 1963 or 9/11- how did the media get the details so quickly?</strong></p>
<p><strong>4) Who is helping the press and why?</strong></p>

<p><span class="font-size-6"><strong>History of Project Mockingbird</strong> <strong> </strong></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<div class="spacer">In 1948 <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKwisner.htm" rel="internal">Frank Wisner</a> was appointed director of the Office of Special Projects. Soon afterwards it was renamed the Office of Policy Coordination (OPC). This became the espionage and counter-intelligence branch of the <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/2WWcia.htm" rel="internal">Central Intelligence Agency</a>. Wisner was told to create an organization that concentrated on "propaganda, economic warfare; preventive direct action, including sabotage, anti-sabotage, demolition and evacuation measures; subversion against hostile states, including assistance to underground resistance groups, and support of indigenous anti-Communist elements in threatened countries of the free world."</div>
<div class="spacer"></div>
<p>Later that year Wisner established Mockingbird, a program to influence the domestic American media. Wisner recruited <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKgrahamP.htm" rel="internal">Philip Graham</a> (<i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Washington_Post" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Washington Post</a></i>) to run the project within the industry. Graham himself recruited others who had worked for military intelligence during the war. This included <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKtruitt.htm" rel="internal">James Truitt</a>, Russell Wiggins, Phil Geyelin, John Hayes and Alan Barth. Others like <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/NDstewart_alsop.htm" rel="internal">Stewart Alsop</a>, <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKalsop.htm" rel="internal">Joseph Alsop</a> and James Reston, were recruited from within the <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKgeorgetown.htm" rel="internal">Georgetown Set</a>. According to <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKdavisD.htm" rel="internal">Deborah Davis</a>, the author of <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Katharine-Great-Graham-Washington-Post/dp/0941781135/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1205581528&sr=1-4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><em>Katharine the Great</em></a> (1979) : "By the early 1950s, Wisner 'owned' respected members of the New York Times, Newsweek, CBS and other communications vehicles."</p>
<p></p>
<p>In 1951 <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAdullesA.htm" rel="internal">Allen W. Dulles</a> persuaded <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKmeyerC.htm" rel="internal">Cord Meyer</a> to join the CIA. However, there is evidence that he was recruited several years earlier and had been spying on the liberal organizations he had been a member of in the later 1940s. According to <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKdavisD.htm" rel="internal">Deborah Davis</a>, Meyer became Mockingbird's "principal operative".</p>
<p></p>
<p>One of the most important journalists under the control of Operation Mockingbird was <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKalsop.htm" rel="internal">Joseph Alsop</a>, whose articles appeared in over 300 different newspapers. Other journalists willing to promote the views of the CIA included <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/NDstewart_alsop.htm" rel="internal">Stewart Alsop</a> (<i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Herald_Tribune" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">New York Herald Tribune</a></i>), <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKbradleeB.htm" rel="internal">Ben Bradlee</a> (<i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsweek" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Newsweek</a></i>), James Reston (<a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAnytimes.htm" rel="internal"><i>New York Times</i></a>), <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAjacksonCD.htm" rel="internal">C.

According to <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAburleighN.htm" rel="internal">Nina Burleigh</a>, the author of <i><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Very-Private-Woman-Unsolved-Presidential/dp/0553380516/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1205596514&sr=1-1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">A Very Private Woman</a></i>, (1998) these journalists sometimes wrote articles that were commissioned by <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKwisner.htm" rel="internal">Frank Wisner</a>. The CIA also provided them with classified information to help them with their work.</p>
<p></p>
<p>After 1953 the network was overseen by <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAdullesA.htm" rel="internal">Allen W. Dulles</a>, director of the <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/2WWcia.htm" rel="internal">Central Intelligence Agency</a>. By this time Operation Mockingbird had a major influence over 25 newspapers and wire agencies. These organizations were run by people such as <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USApaley.htm" rel="internal">William Paley</a> (CBS), <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAluce.htm" rel="internal">Henry Luce</a> (<a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAtime.htm" rel="internal"><i>Time Magazine</i></a> and <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAlife.htm" rel="internal"><i>Life Magazine</i></a>), <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAsulzberger.htm" rel="internal">Arthur Hays Sulzberger</a> (<a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAnytimes.htm" rel="internal"><i>New York Times</i></a>), <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAreidHR.htm" rel="internal">Helen Rogers Reid</a> (<a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAnytribune.htm" rel="internal"><em>New York Herald Tribune</em></a>), <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothy_Schiff" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dorothy Schiff</a> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Post" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><em>New York Post</em></a>), Alfred Friendly (managing editor of the <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Washington_Post" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Washington Post</a></i>), <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/SPYbingham.htm" rel="internal">Barry Bingham</a>(<i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisville_Courier-Journal" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Louisville Courier-Journal</a></i>) and <a href="http://www.norcalmediamuseum.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=104&Itemid=108" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">James S. Copley</a> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copley_Press" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Copley News Services</a>).</p>
<p></p>
<p>The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_Policy_Coordination" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Office of Policy Coordination</a> (OPC) was funded by siphoning of funds intended for the <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAmarshallP.htm" rel="internal">Marshall Plan</a>. Some of this money was used to bribe journalists and publishers. <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKwisner.htm" rel="internal">Frank Wisner</a> was constantly looked for ways to help convince the public of the dangers of communism. In 1954 Wisner arranged for the funding the Hollywood production of <i><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_b/202-1031326-8447017?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=Animal+Farm&Go.x=13&Go.y=8" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Animal Farm</a></i>, the animated allegory based on the book written by <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/Jorwell.htm" rel="internal">George Orwell</a>.</p>
<p></p>
<p>According to <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKconstantine.htm" rel="internal">Alex Constantine</a> (<i>Mockingbird: The Subversion Of The Free Press By The CIA</i>), in the 1950s, "some 3,000 salaried and contract CIA employees were eventually engaged in propaganda efforts". Wisner was also able to restrict newspapers from reporting about certain events. For example, the CIA plots to overthrow the governments of Iran and Guatemala.</p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAluce.htm" rel="internal">Henry Luce</a>, the owner of a large media empire, became a key figure in Operation Mockingbird. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Halberstam" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">David Halberstam</a> has pointed out in <em><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=David+Halberstam%2C+The+Powers+That+Be&x=18&y=16" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Powers That Be</a></em>(1979): "Luce's politics hardened in the postwar years and <em>Time</em> had become increasingly Republican in its tone. He had been stunned by Truman's defeat of Dewey in 1948. Then in the fall of 1949 China had fallen, the Democratic administration had failed to save Chiang, and that was too much; Truman, and even more Acheson, would have to pay the price. Time was now committed and politicized, an almost totally partisan instrument. The smell of blood was in the air. There was a hunger now in Luce to put a Republican back in power. It was as if Luce, between elections, stood as the leader of the opposition, a kingmaker who had failed to produce a king. The fall of China and the rise of a post-war anti-Communist mood had produced the essential issue to use against the Democrats: softness on Communism."</p>
<p></p>
<p>Luce used his magazines to get <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAeisenhower.htm" rel="internal">Dwight D. Eisenhower</a> elected as president. In 1953 Eisenhower appointed <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKluceC.htm" rel="internal">Clare Booth Luce</a> ambassador to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Italy</a>; the first American woman ambassador to a major country. Claudio Accogli, a Italian historian, argues that luce was heavily involved in covert anti-communist activities with local cia personnel. <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKhancock.htm" rel="internal">Larry Hancock</a> adds: "With no-holds barred political activism and heavy spending (including the support of the SIFAR/Italian Army Secret Service), Luce and the CIA managed to block the probable takeover of the center-left governments, an alliance between Christian Democrats (DC) and the Socialist Democratic Party (PSI)."</p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="http://www.oup.com/us/catalog/general/subject/HistoryAmerican/Since1945/?view=usa&ci=9780195393460" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jonathan P. Herzog</a>, the author of <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=The+Spiritual-Industrial+Complex%3A+America%27s+Religious+Battle+against+Communism+in+the+Early+Cold+War+&x=17&y=20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><em>The Spiritual-Industrial Complex: America's Religious Battle Against Communism in the Early Cold War</em></a> (2011), has argued that Luce was motivated by his religious faith: "While he counted anti-Communists like Mundt, Cardinal Spellman, and Chambers as allies, he viewed the Communist threat differently. In his view, it was a symptom and not a disease. Like his wife, Clare, he understood faith as a psychological imperative sought by all people. If religious faith waned, other dogmas would take its place. The success of Communism, then, was not attributable to its message but rather to the fact that it offered people the spiritual certainty they no longer found in Christianity. All the shocking anti-Communist propaganda and shopworn tributes to democracy that America could muster would fail to arrest the Marxian surge. But if Americans filled the spiritual vacuum, if they made religious faith commensurate with military and economic power, then Communism would dissipate."</p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKhinckle.htm" rel="internal">Warren Hinckle</a> has argued: "Henry Luce believed that a morally slanted press was a responsible press... <em>Life</em>, the flagship picture book of the Luce fleet, afforded photojournalism some of its finest moments, while the text accompanying the pictures that were worth thousands of words was slanted with an ideological warp sufficient to stir Caxton in his grave." The cartoonist, <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/ARTblock.htm" rel="internal">Herbert Block</a>, was equally critical: "Luce's unique contribution to American journalism... is that he placed into the hands of the people yesterday's newspaper and today's garbage homogenized into one neat package.</p>

<p><a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKbraden.htm" rel="internal">Thomas Braden</a>, head of the of International Organizations Division (IOD), played an important role in Operation Mockingbird. Many years later he revealed his role in these events: "If the director of CIA wanted to extend a present, say, to someone in Europe - a Labour leader - suppose he just thought, This man can use fifty thousand dollars, he's working well and doing a good job - he could hand it to him and never have to account to anybody... There was simply no limit to the money it could spend and no limit to the people it could hire and no limit to the activities it could decide were necessary to conduct the war - the secret war.... It was a multinational. Maybe it was one of the first. Journalists were a target, labor unions a particular target - that was one of the activities in which the communists spent the most money."</p>
<p></p>
<p>In August, 1952, the Office of Policy Coordination and the Office of Special Operations (the espionage division) were merged to form the Directorate of Plans (DPP). <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKwisner.htm" rel="internal">Frank Wisner</a> became head of this new organization and <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKhelms.htm" rel="internal">Richard Helms</a> became his chief of operations. Mockingbird was now the responsibility of the DPP.</p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAhooverE.htm" rel="internal">J. Edgar Hoover</a> became jealous of the CIA's growing power. He described the OPC as "Wisner's gang of weirdos" and began carrying out investigations into their past. It did not take him long to discover that some of them had been active in left-wing politics in the 1930s. This information was passed to who started making attacks on members of the OPC. Hoover also gave McCarthy details of an affair that <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKwisner.htm" rel="internal">Frank Wisner</a> had with Princess Caradja in <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/2WWromania.htm" rel="internal">Romania</a> during the war. Hoover, claimed that Caradja was a Soviet agent.</p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAmccarthy.htm" rel="internal">Joseph McCarthy</a> also began accusing other senior members of the CIA as being security risks. McCarthy claimed that the CIA was a "sinkhole of communists" and claimed he intended to root out a hundred of them. One of his first targets was <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKmeyerC.htm" rel="internal">Cord Meyer</a>, who was still working for Operation Mockingbird. In August, 1953, <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKhelms.htm" rel="internal">Richard Helms</a>, Wisner's deputy at the OPC, told Meyer that <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAmccarthy.htm" rel="internal">Joseph McCarthy</a> had accused him of being a communist. The <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAfbi.htm" rel="internal">Federal Bureau of Investigation</a> added to the smear by announcing it was unwilling to give Meyer "security clearance". However, the FBI refused to explain what evidence they had against Meyer. <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAdullesA.htm" rel="internal">Allen W. Dulles</a> and both came to his defence and refused to permit a FBI interrogation of Meyer.</p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAmccarthy.htm" rel="internal">Joseph McCarthy</a> did not realise what he was taking on. Wisner unleashed Mockingbird on McCarthy. <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USApearsonD.htm" rel="internal">Drew Pearson</a>, <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKalsop.htm" rel="internal">Joe Alsop</a>, <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAandersonJ.htm" rel="internal">Jack Anderson</a>, <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAlippmann.htm" rel="internal">Walter Lippmann</a> and <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAmurrow.htm" rel="internal">Ed Murrow</a> all went into attack mode and McCarthy was permanently damaged by the press coverage orchestrated by Wisner.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Mockingbird was very active during the overthrow of <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKarbenz.htm" rel="internal">Jacobo Arbenz</a> in Guatemala. People like <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAluce.htm" rel="internal">Henry Luce</a> was able to censor stories that appeared too sympathetic towards the plight of Arbenz. <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAdullesA.htm" rel="internal">Allen W. Dulles</a> was even able to keep left-wing journalists from travelling to Guatemala. This including Sydney Gruson of the <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAnytimes.htm" rel="internal"><i>New York Times</i></a>.</p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKwisner.htm" rel="internal">Frank Wisner</a> was also interested in influencing Hollywood. As <a href="http://www.csulb.edu/colleges/cla/departments/history/faculty/wilford/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hugh Wilford</a> points out in <em><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_b?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=The+Mighty+Wurlitzer%3A+How+the+CIA+Played+America&x=18&y=13" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Mighty Wurlitzer: How the CIA Played America</a></em> (2008): “Fortunately for the CIA, two factors predisposed the major Hollywood studios that dominated the industry to take a responsible position in the cultural Cold War. One was a strong tendency toward self-censorship, the result of many years' experience avoiding the commercially disastrous effects of giving offense to either domestic pressure groups like the American Legion or foreign audiences. The other was the fact that the men who ran the studios were intensely patriotic and anticommunist - they saw it as their duty to help their government defeat the Soviet threat."</p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKwisner.htm" rel="internal">Frank Wisner</a> was helped by the fact that the <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAhuac.htm" rel="internal">House of Un-American Activities Committee</a> (HUAC), chaired by <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAparnell.htm" rel="internal">J. Parnell Thomas</a>, was carrying out an investigation into the Hollywood Motion Picture Industry. The HUAC interviewed 41 people who were working in Hollywood. These people attended voluntarily and became known as "friendly witnesses". During their interviews they named nineteen people who they accused of holding left-wing views.</p>
<p></p>
<p>One of those named, <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAbrecht.htm" rel="internal">Bertolt Brecht</a>, a playwright, gave evidence and then left for <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/2WWeastGermany.htm" rel="internal">East Germany</a>. Ten others: <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAbiberman.htm" rel="internal">Herbert Biberman</a>, <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAcoleL.htm" rel="internal">Lester Cole</a>, <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAmaltz.htm" rel="internal">Albert Maltz</a>, <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAscottA.htm" rel="internal">Adrian Scott</a>, <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAornitz.htm" rel="internal">Samuel Ornitz</a>, <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAtrumbo.htm" rel="internal">Dalton Trumbo</a>, <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAdmytryk.htm" rel="internal">Edward Dmytryk</a>, <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAlardner.htm" rel="internal">Ring Lardner Jr</a>., <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAlawsonJH.htm" rel="internal">John Howard Lawson</a> and <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAbessie.htm" rel="internal">Alvah Bessie</a> refused to answer any questions and were sent to prison and were blacklisted from the industry.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/2WWcia.htm" rel="internal">CIA</a> and <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAfbi.htm" rel="internal">FBI</a> also provided right-wing television producer, Vincent Harnett, with information about left-wing figures in the industry. In June 1950 Harnett published <i><a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAredC.htm" rel="internal">Red Channels</a></i>, a pamphlet listing the names of 151 writers, directors and performers who they claimed had been members of subversive organisations before the <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/2WW.htm" rel="internal">Second World War</a> but had not so far been blacklisted.</p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAcobb.htm" rel="internal">Lee J. Cobb</a> was one of those actors who was originally blacklisted but eventually cooperated with the <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAhuac.htm" rel="internal">HUAC</a>: “When the facilities of the government of the United States are drawn on an individual it can be terrifying. The blacklist is just the opening gambit - being deprived of work. Your passport is confiscated. That's minor. But not being able to move without being tailed is something else. After a certain point it grows to implied as well as articulated threats, and people succumb. My wife did, and she was institutionalized. In 1953 the HCUA did a deal with me. I was pretty much worn down. I had no money. I couldn't borrow. I had the expenses of taking care of the children. Why am I subjecting my loved ones to this? If it's worth dying for, and I am just as idealistic as the next fellow. But I decided it wasn't worth dying for, and if this gesture was the way of getting out of the penitentiary I'd do it. I had to be employable again.”</p>
<p></p>
<p>According to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances_Stonor_Saunders" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Frances Stonor Saunders</a>, the author of <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_b?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=Frances+Stonor+Saunders+Who+Paid+the+Piper&x=16&y=21" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><em>Who Paid the Piper?</em></a> (2000), <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKwisner.htm" rel="internal">Frank Wisner</a> recruited several important figures for Operation Mockingbird. This included former OSS filmmaker <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ford" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">John Ford</a> and studio bosses <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecil_B._Demille" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cecil B. DeMille</a> (Paramount Pictures) and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darryl_F._Zanuck" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Darryl Zanuck</a> (Twentieth Century-Fox).</p>
<p></p>
<p>Another important figure in this group was <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKhughesH.htm" rel="internal">Howard Hughes</a>, the boss of RKO Pictures. As <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Higham_(biographer)" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Charles Higham</a> points out in <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Howard-Hughes-Secret-Charles-Higham/dp/0753509717/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1225370588&sr=1-4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><em>Howard Hughes: The Secret Life</em></a> (2004), this was also good for business: “Hughes’s crusade against Communism” was “exacerbated by his desire to have Hughes Aircraft profit from the Korean and any future anti-Soviet wars”. For example, in June 1950, General <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/2WWeaker.htm" rel="internal">Ira Eaker</a> "signed an across-the-board agreement giving Hughes a monopoly in interceptors for the U.S. Air Force… despite the fact that it was in breach of the Sherman anti-monopolies act… By the end of 1950, the war had made Hughes even richer than before.”</p>
<p></p>
<p>Another important figure in this conspiracy was <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAjacksonCD.htm" rel="internal">C. D. Jackson</a>. He had joined the <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/2WWoss.htm" rel="internal">Office of Strategic Services</a> (OSS) in 1943. The following year he was appointed Deputy Chief at the Psychological Warfare Division at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHAEF" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force</a> (SHAEF). After the war, he became Managing Director of <a href="http://www.timelife.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TopCategoriesDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=1001&catalogId=10001" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Time-Life International</a>. When it became clear that <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAeisenhower.htm" rel="internal">Dwight D. Eisenhower</a> stood a good chance of becoming president, the CIA arranged for Jackson to join his campaign. This involved Jackson writing speeches for Eisenhower. Jackson was rewarded in February 1953 by being appointed as Special Assistant to the President. This included the role of Eisenhower's liaison between the CIA and the Pentagon.</p>
<p></p>
<p>According to the <a href="http://www.eisenhower.archives.gov/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Eisenhower Presidential Library</a> files in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abilene,_Kansas" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Abilene</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kansas</a>, Jackson's "area responsibility was loosely defined as international affairs, cold war planning, and psychological warfare. His main function was the coordination of activities aimed at interpreting world situations to the best advantage of the United States and her allies and exploiting incidents which reflected negatively on the Soviet Union , Communist China and other enemies in the Cold War."</p>
<p></p>
<p>Jackson was also involved in Operation Mockingbird. This was revealed after the death of Jackson. On December 15, 1971, Mrs. C.D. Jackson gave her husband’s papers to the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library. This included details that Jackson was in contact with a <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/2WWcia.htm" rel="internal">CIA</a> agent in Hollywood's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramount_Pictures" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Paramount Studios</a>. The agent is not named by Jackson but <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances_Stonor_Saunders" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Frances Stonor Saunders</a> claims in <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_b?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=Frances+Stonor+Saunders+Who+Paid+the+Piper&x=16&y=21" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><em>Who Paid the Piper?</em></a> (2000) that it was Carleton Alsop, a CIA agent employed by <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKwisner.htm" rel="internal">Frank Wisner</a>. There is no doubt that Alsop was one of the CIA agents working at Paramount. However, <a href="http://www.csulb.edu/colleges/cla/departments/history/faculty/wilford/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hugh Wilford</a> argues in <em><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_b?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=The+Mighty+Wurlitzer%3A+How+the+CIA+Played+America&x=18&y=13" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Mighty Wurlitzer: How the CIA Played America</a></em> (2008) that it was a senior executive at Paramount, <a href="http://www.google.com/custom?hl=en&safe=off&client=pub-1708185697831973&cof=FORID:1%3BGL:1%3BL:http://spartacus-educational.com/text.gif%3BLH:40%3BLW:300%3BLBGC:336699%3BLC:%230000ff%3BVLC:%23663399%3BGFNT:%230000ff%3BGIMP:%230000ff%3BDIV:%23336699%3B&domains=www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk&oe=ISO-8859-1&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=Luigi+G.+Luraschi&spell=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lugi G. Laraschi</a>, was the most important CIA figure at the studio. Laraschi was the head of foreign and domestic censorship at the studio, whose job was to "iron out any political, moral or religious problems". Other studios, including <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MGM</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RKO_Pictures" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">RKO</a>, had similar officers, and were probably CIA placements. In a private letter to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherman_Adams" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sherman Adams</a>, Jackson claims the role of these CIA placements was "to insert in their scripts and in their action the right ideas with the proper subtlety".</p>
<p></p>
<p>Although the main objective of Operation Mockingbird was to influence the production of commercial films the <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/2WWcia.htm" rel="internal">CIA</a> also occasionally initiated film projects. The best documented instance of this concerns an animated version of <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_b?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=Animal+Farm&x=17&y=22" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Animal Farm</a>, a satirical allegory about <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/RUSstalin.htm" rel="internal">Stalinism</a> by <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/Jorwell.htm" rel="internal">George Orwell</a>. The book was highly popular when it was published in 1945 and it was only natural that the studios should be interested in making a film of the book. The problem for the CIA was that Orwell was a socialist whose book attacked both communism and capitalism. Therefore, it was important to make a film that restricted it to a condemnation of <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/RUSstalin.htm" rel="internal">Joseph Stalin</a> and the <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/Russia.htm" rel="internal">Soviet Union</a>.</p>
<p></p>
<p>In 1950 Wisner’s OPC arranged for <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2003/mar/07/artsfeatures.georgeorwell" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Joe Bryan</a> to recruit anti-communist documentary-maker <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0211195/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Louis de Rochemont</a> to produce a movie version of the tale. It was decided to get the film made in Britain to disguise CIA involvement in the project. Rochemont employed the British animation studio of husband and wife <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0354691/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">John Halas</a> and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0060742/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Joy Batchelor</a> to make the film. Most of the funding came from a CIA shell corporation, Touchstone. <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKhuntH.htm" rel="internal">E. Howard Hunt</a> was one of those agents involved in the production of the film whose role was to remove the socialist elements in Orwell’s allegory.</p>
<p></p>
<p>One unnamed member of the OPC sent a letter to <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0354691/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">John Halas</a> called for the addition of scenes showing the other farms (that represented capitalist countries) in a more flattering light. The most important demand was to change the ending of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047834/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Animal Farm</a>. The CIA did not like the scene where the pigs and dogs face a liberation-style uprising of the other animals. The letter included the following: “It is reasonable to expect that if Orwell were to write the book today, it would be considerably different and that the changes would tend to make it even more positively anti-Communist and possibly somewhat more favorable to the Western powers.”</p>
<p></p>
<p>One of the main concerns of the CIA was the portrayal of race-relations in Hollywood movies. It was argued that the left was using this issue to undermine the idea that America was a democracy based on equal rights. Letters from Jackson sent to the producers of films called for scenes showing African Americans mixing on equal terms with whites. One of Jackson’s proposals involved “planting black spectators in a crowd watching a golf game in the Martin and Lewis comedy The Caddy”.</p>
<p></p>
<p>In 1955 <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/Jgreene.htm" rel="internal">Graham Greene</a> published <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_b?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=The+Quiet+American&x=17&y=19" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><em>The Quiet American</em></a>. The novel is set in <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/VietnamWar.htm" rel="internal">Vietnam</a> and involves the relationship between Thomas Fowler and Alden Pyle. Fowler is a veteran British journalist in his fifties, who has been covering the war in Vietnam for over two years. Pyle, the “Quiet American” of the title, is officially an aid worker, but is really employed by the CIA. It is believed that the Pyle character is partly based on that of <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/COLDlansdale.htm" rel="internal">Edward Lansdale</a>.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Greene had worked for the British Secret Service during the <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/2WW.htm" rel="internal">Second World War</a>. Although a fairly successful novelist at the time, Greene was also employed by <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><em>The Times</em></a> and <a href="http://www.lefigaro.fr/international/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><em>Le Figaro</em></a> as a journalist. Between 1951 to 1954 spent a long period of time in Saigon. In 1953 Lansdale became a CIA advisor on special counter-guerrilla operations to French forces against the <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/VNrevolutionaryL.htm" rel="internal">Viet Minh</a>.</p>
<p></p>
<p>While it is true that <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/Jgreene.htm" rel="internal">Graham Greene</a> admitted that he never had the "misfortune to meet" Lansdale, the two men did know a lot about each other. Lansdale recalls that in 1954 he had dinner with Peg and Tilman Durdin at the <a href="http://www.continentalhotel.com.vn/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Continental Hotel</a> in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ho_Chi_Minh_City" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Saigon</a>. Greene was also there having a meal with several French officers. Lansdale claims that after he and the Durdins were leaving, Greene said something in French to his companions and the men began booing him.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Lansdale definitely thought that Pyle was based on him. He told <a href="http://www.potomacbooksinc.com/Books/AuthorDetail.aspx?id=408" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cecil B. Currey</a> on 15th February, 1984: "Pyle was close to Trinh Minh Thé, the guerrilla leader, and also had a dog that went with him everywhere - and I was the only American close to Trinh Minh Thé and my poodle Pierre went everything with me."</p>
<p></p>
<p>In the book Pyle is sent to <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/VietnamWar.htm" rel="internal">Vietnam</a> by his government, ostensibly as a member of the American Economic Mission, but that assignment was only a cover for his real role as a <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/2WWcia.htm" rel="internal">CIA</a> agent. According to one critic "Pyle was the embodiment of well-meaning American-style politics, and he blundered through the intrigue, treachery, and confusion of Vietnamese politics, leaving a trail of blood and suffering behind him." As Fowler points out in the novel, Pyle was attempting to "win the East for Democracy". However, according to Fowler, what the people of Vietnam really wanted was "enough rice" to eat. What is more: "They don't want to be shot at. They want one day to be much the same as another. They don't want our white skins around telling them what they want."</p>
<p></p>
<p>When the book was published in the United States in 1956 it was condemned as anti-American. Pyle (Lansdale) is portrayed as someone whose belief in the justice of American foreign policy allows him to ignore the appalling consequences of his actions. It was criticized by <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><em>The New Yorker</em></a> for portraying Americans as murderers.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The director, producer and screenwriter, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_L._Mankiewicz" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Joseph L. Mankiewicz</a> was chosen to make the film of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052106/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><em>The Quiet American</em></a>. He visited Saigon in 1956 and was introduced to <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/COLDlansdale.htm" rel="internal">Edward Lansdale</a>, whose cover was working at the International Rescue Committee’s office. The most controversial scene in the book is the bombing of a Saigon square in 1952 by a Vietnamese associate of Lansdale’s, General <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinh_Minh_The" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Trinh Minh Thé</a>. In the novel, Greene suggests that Pyle/Lansdale, was behind the bombing. Lansdale suggested to Mankiewicz that the film should show that the bombing was “actually having been a Communist action”.</p>
<p></p>
<p>When he returned home Mankiewicz wrote to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_W._O%27Daniel" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">John O’Daniel</a>, the chairman of the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Vietnam-Lobby-American-Friends-1955-1975/dp/0807823228" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">American Friends of Vietnam</a> that he intended to completely change the anti-American attitude of Greene’s book. This included the casting of <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/2WW.htm" rel="internal">Second World War</a> hero, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audie_Murphy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Audie Murphy</a>, as Alden Pyle.</p>
<p></p>
<p>In a letter that <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/COLDlansdale.htm" rel="internal">Edward Lansdale</a> wrote to <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/VNngo.htm" rel="internal">Ngo Dinh Diem</a> he praised Mankiewicz’s treatment of the story as “an excellent change from Mr. Greene’s novel of despair” and “that it will help win more friends for you and Vietnam in many places in the world where it is shown."</p>
<p></p>
<p>As <a href="http://www.csulb.edu/colleges/cla/departments/history/faculty/wilford/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hugh Wilford</a> pointed out: “It was a brilliantly devious maneuver of postmodern literary complexity: by helping to rewrite a story featuring a character reputedly based on himself, Lansdale had transformed an anti-American tract into a cinematic apology for U.S. policy - and his own actions-in Vietnam.”</p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/Jgreene.htm" rel="internal">Graham Greene</a> was furious with Mankiewicz’s treatment of his novel. "Far was it from my mind, when I wrote The Quiet American that the book would become a source of spiritual profit to one of the most corrupt governments in Southeast Asia."</p>
<p></p>
<p>In 1955 President <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAeisenhower.htm" rel="internal">Dwight Eisenhower</a> established the 5412 Committee in order to keep a check on the CIA's covert activities. The committee (also called the Special Group) included the CIA director, the national security adviser, and the deputy secretaries at State and Defence and had the responsibility to decide whether covert actions were "proper" and in the national interest. It was also decided to include <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKrussell.htm" rel="internal">Richard B. Russell</a>, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. However, as <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAdullesA.htm" rel="internal">Allen W. Dulles</a> was later to admit, because of "plausible deniability" planned covert actions were not referred to the 5412 Committee.</p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAeisenhower.htm" rel="internal">Dwight Eisenhower</a> became concerned about CIA covert activities and in 1956 appointed <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKbruce.htm" rel="internal">David Bruce</a> as a member of the President's Board of Consultants on Foreign Intelligence Activities (PBCFIA). Eisenhower asked Bruce to write a report on the CIA. It was presented to Eisenhower on 20th December, 1956. Bruce argued that the CIA's covert actions were "responsible in great measure for stirring up the turmoil and raising the doubts about us that exists in many countries in the world today." Bruce was also highly critical of Mockingbird. He argued: "what right have we to go barging around in other countries buying newspapers and handling money to opposition parties or supporting a candidate for this, that, or the other office."</p>
<p></p>
<p>After <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKbissell.htm" rel="internal">Richard Bissell</a> lost his post as Director of Plans in 1962, <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKbarnesT.htm" rel="internal">Tracy Barnes</a> took over the running of Mockingbird. According to <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKthomas.htm" rel="internal">Evan Thomas</a> (<i><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Very-Best-Men-Daring-Early/dp/141653797X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1205596822&sr=1-1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Very Best Men</a></i>) Barnes planted editorials about political candidates who were regarded as pro-CIA.</p>
<p></p>
<p>It has been argued by <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKhancock.htm" rel="internal">Larry Hancock</a>, the author of <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Someone-Would-Talked-Larry-Hancock/dp/0977465713/sr=11-1/qid=1164185370/ref=sr_11_1/203-5540439-5919913" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><em>Someone Would Have Talked</em></a> (2006), that <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKprewitt.htm" rel="internal">Virginia Prewett</a> was a close associate of <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKphillips.htm" rel="internal">David Attlee Phillips</a> and was involved in promoting the activities of <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKalpha.htm" rel="internal">Alpha 66</a>, led by <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKveciana.htm" rel="internal">Antonio Veciana</a>: "Virginia Prewett appears to have been one of Phillips' significant media contacts and certainly one of the most consistent sources of media coverage for Alpha 66 activities. The other major source was Life magazine, part of the Luce Media family managed by Claire Booth Luce's husband Henry Robinson "Harry" Luce (a member of the Citizens Committee to Free Cuba, along with Phillips' friends Hal Hendrix and Paul Bethel). Articles by Prewitt and editorials by <em>Time-Life</em>provided the strongest challenge to the Kennedy position on Cuba and were quite consistent with the type of embarrass and back-to-the wall agendas Veciana attributed to Maurice Bishop."</p>
<p></p>
<p>In September, 1963, <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKhendrixH.htm" rel="internal">Hal Hendrix</a> joined <a href="http://www.shns.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Scripps-Howard News Service</a> as a Latin American specialist. Instead of moving to <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAwashington.htm" rel="internal">Washington</a> he remained in Miami "where his contacts were". In an article on 24th September, 1963, Hendrix was able to describe and justify the coup that overthrew <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Bosch" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Juan Bosch</a>, the president of Dominican Republic. The only problem was the coup took place on the 25th September. Some journalists claimed that Hendrix must have got this information from the <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/2WWcia.htm" rel="internal">CIA</a>.</p>
<p></p>
<p>A few hours after <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAkennedyJ.htm" rel="internal">John F. Kennedy</a> had been killed, Hendrix provided background information to a colleague, <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKkantorS.htm" rel="internal">Seth Kantor</a>, about <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKoswald.htm" rel="internal">Lee Harvey Oswald</a>. This included details of his defection to the Soviet Union and his work for the <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKfairplay.htm" rel="internal">Fair Play for Cuba Committee</a>. This surprised Kantor because he had this information before it was released by the <a href="http://spartacus-educational.com/USAfbi.htm" rel="internal">Federal Bureau of Investigation</a> later that evening.</p>

<p>President Lyndon Baines Johnson (LBJ) started the Great Society and programs like Head Start to help people get a great start in our society. A little over fifty years later <strong>Miha Vindis, a LBJ School Ph.D. student at the University of Texas wrote an article entitled, Global Trends 2030</strong> <em>on July 25, 2012. She explained that t</em>he world has changed in many ways since the Cold War ended. The internet and mobile communication have opened up new possibilities across the world. As high-tech, high-value generating industries are no longer bound by national borders or access to restricted resources; a new world order has begun to emerge. In this new world education has become even more important. The US – and the West as a whole – has seen its advantage in economic, technological and defense arenas erode, because we are beginning to fall behind the rest of the world. While the political establishment debates, increasingly on ideological grounds, the future of America is at risk.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We has happened to Public Education. Once a system that would instruct the future leaders of the world, today it has become the babysitter of the people who will be the ward of the state forever and ever- is this true? Divide you class into two sections. Have the students review the materials and prepare presentations (video or PPT) and convince the other side. Then when you are done contact <a href="mailto:mcunningham@del-valle.k12.tx.us">mcunningham@del-valle.k12.tx.us</a> and learn what schools are doing half way around the world.</p>
