“Let’s Pretend”: The Proper Role of the Arts in Catholic Culture

Speech #13—Daniel McAdams
The Totalitarianism of the Global Democratic Revolutions
Daniel McAdams, with 20 years of experience working in foreign policy affairs both abroad and on Capitol Hill, discusses current American foreign policy initiatives. He speaks of the currently ongoing Global Democratic Revolution in its various incarnations in such places as Hungary, Serbia, Albania, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Tunisia, Egypt, and other places around the globe. And he points out how the efforts by the U.S. government to create a one-world “democratic” revolution owes its current successes to the groundwork laid by the National Endowment for Democracy (founded 1983) and the anti-Stalinist Trotskyites who have controlled the Republican party since the 1970’s and who have also had the Democrat party largely under their control here in America for many years.
