White Supremacy, Terrorism, and the Failure of Reconstruction in the United States - https://lnkd.in/dDvjzHda White Southerners opposed to Reconstruction used violence to undermine Black political power and force uncommitted white Southerners to their side. The U.S. government did not deploy enough troops and withdrew them too quickly. This failure shows that democratization must include ensuring rights and the rule of law, not just elections. Reconstruction demonstrates that a common policy recommendation—compromise with the losers after a civil war—neither ensures lasting peace nor prevents generations of injustice.

The International Military Tribunal of the Nuremberg Trials (1945-46) required a system of regulation that transcended the boundaries of the various justices' national law systems in order to judge Nazi war crimes after WWII. The justices chose the term "crimes against humanity" to denote this "higher law" because it could be universally understood, based on an appeal to conscience. Hippocratic medicine is based on tenets of the "higher law" that is universally recognized as promulgating justice based on the fullest truth about the human person. AAPLOG upholds the basic rights of the human person from the moment of conception through its practice of Hippocratic medicine. #aaplog #prolifeobgyns #hippocraticmedicine #integrityinmedicine #aaplogscientificscholarship #aaplogmedicalevidence #prolifeprowomanprochild #joinaaplogtoday

As we celebrate our nation’s Declaration of Independence that happened 248 years ago, CONSIDER THIS: The American flag does NOT fly because it represents one political party or another. Our flag and this holiday are a reminder of founding fathers and brave soldiers who fought for our nation’s INDEPENDENCE and the FREEDOM to self-govern under GENUINE DEMOCRACY. It is a reminder for ALL races of our nation’s enduring commitment to JUSTICE, LIBERTY, and the importance of INTEGRITY (in the public eye and behind closed doors). As we navigate the complexities of these times, may we ALL choose to engage in encouraging THOUGHTFUL reflection and DIALOGUE instead of divisiveness. As our pledge of allegiance says: We are ONE nation under God. Isn’t time we started acting like that? . . . #July4th #Independence #OneNationUnderGod

Mike McLaughlin's and my book, Battlefield Cyber: How China and Russia Are Undermining our Democracy and National Security , has been out now for a full year. In it, we describe in painstaking detail how China and Russia use social media (and AI) to flood our information ecosystem with messages aimed at undermining confidence in our own institutions and confusing us about America's role in the world. Since the book was published, the New York Times has disclosed that the Chinese used AI to generate fake posts about the fire in Maui being the result of a secret U.S. government "weather weapon" and have implanted malware in America's critical infrastructure that our intelligence and law enforcement agencies cannot fully locate and remove. This new study is welcome but why do we keep rediscovering the same things without taking any meaningful reaction in response? One place to start would be to spotlight the role our own tech giants (Meta, Alphabet, Apple, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, etc) play in creating a social media landscape that is so dominant and so polluted. daveschroeder caseyfleming battlefieldcyber michaelmclaughlin chasecunningham garyberman doowanlee stevesoble

Great to see comprehensive comparative analysis of the information warfare doctrines and activities of #Russia, #China and #Iran from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD)! These US adversaries have not only learned from each other but have adopted similar strategies and have overlapping objectives. The part on Iran is particularly informative. A must-read —>

Asking a serious question, when did America become such a wimpy, weak nation whereby we allowed wingnuts and nimrods to destroy our history; hijack our educational system; high technology to censor our freedom of speech; media that manipulates truth; replaced journalism with a rabid political agenda; a justice system in part that rewards felons; a government that goes out of it's way to punish the very people it was elected to represent; elected leaders who have rebuked their oath of office; and a military leadership that has weakened the standards of military requirements?
