The final choice he was made to board a non-stop flight to Moscow on June 23, 2013.
To remain in Hong Kong once a criminal complaint was leveled against him would have meant
that, at the very minimum, Hong Kong authorities would seize him and the alleged stolen property
of the US government in his possession. Even if he was released on bail, the Hong Kong
authorities would almost certainly retain all the NSA and GCHQ files he had gone to such lengths
to steal. He also would not be allowed to leave Hong Kong and possibly denied any access to the
Internet. As he demonstrated by his subsequent actions, this option was not acceptable to him.
Once the U.S. criminal complaint was unsealed on June 21, 2013, which became all but
inevitable after his video, his only route out of Hong Kong went through two adversaries of the
United States, China and Russia. China, as far as is known, did not offer him sanctuary.
According to one U.S diplomat, it may have already obtained copies of Snowden’s NSA files, and
did not want the problem of having Snowden defect to Beijing. In any case, if it had not already
acquired the files. It could assume it would receive that intelligence data from its Russian ally in
the intelligence war. Whatever its reason, China did not use its considerable power in Hong
Kong to block Snowden’s exit.
Nor did Snowden obtain a visa to any country in Latin America or elsewhere during his month-
long stay in Hong Kong. As in the oft-cited Sherlock Holmes’ clue of the dog that did not bark,
Snowden’s lack of any visas in his passport strongly suggests that he had not made plans to go
anyplace but where he went: Moscow. His actions here, including his contacts with Russian
officials in Hong Kong, speak louder than his words.
Snowden chose, if he had any choice left at all, the Russian option. Just as he believed Chinese
intelligence could protect him in Hong Kong from the United States, he could assume that the
FSB could protect him in Moscow from the United States. He was not entirely na* ve about its
capabilities. During his service in the CIA, he had taken a month-long training course at the CIA’s
“farm” at Fort Peary in which counterintelligence officer taught about the capabilities the Russian
security services
To be sure, he might not have known that Moscow would be his final destination. He may
have naively believed that Russia would allow a defector from the NSA who claimed to have had
access to the NSA’s sources in Russia and China leave Moscow before its security services
obtained that information. But that was not to be.
It is not uncommon for a defector to change sides in order to find a better life for himself in
another country. Some defectors flee to escape a repressive government or to find one in which
they believe they are more closely attuned. But Russia is ordinarily not the country of choice for
someone such as Snowden seeking greater civil liberties and personal freedom. So why did
Snowden choose Russia for his new life?
The four choices that Snowden made in 2013 did not come out of the blue. They all were
planned out well in advance. He applied for the job to Booz Allen in February 2013, more than a
month before leaving his job at Dell. He applied to Booz Allen for his medical leave, although in
fact he had no medical problem, a month before departing for Hong Kong. He brought with him
to Hong Kong enough cash to pay his living expenses, according to him, for the next two years.
He arranged the encrypted channel with Poitras in February 2013, three months before he would
induce her to come to Hong Kong. He made contact with a foreign diplomatic mission at least a
month before flying to Moscow and, at some point, met with Russian officials, who arranged a
visa-less entry for him. He called Assange in London to arrange for Wikileaks help, 13 days

What matters is return. I don’t have to specify “risk-adjusted” return so long as |
describe the collective scale alone. Collective return is implicitly average-risk return.
I prioritize it on the reasoning that optimizing employment of people and plant is
implicit, and that optimizing means putting them to work most productively rather
than over the most hours.
If policy maximizes rate of return, at the collective scale, it will maximize true output
perforce. Return is output divided by total capital producing it. More return is more
output per unit capital. Putting idle plant and people to work, in a slump, is a step in
the right direction. But it doesn’t get the job done unless they work productively.
Even putting money under the mattress is better than investing at a loss. Zero
return is better than negative return. | accept Keynes’ distinction between new
investment and transfer payments. But I see the latter as part of the mechanics that
ends up in the former. Maximize return, and full employment will happen.
Keynes’ opposition is now mostly the Chicago school and other “freshwater” schools
bordering the Great Lakes and along inland rivers. Somehow the taste for Keynesian
intervention resonated best in “saltwater” seaboard school such as Harvard, MIT,
Stanford, and University of California. It is probably no coincidence that the
saltwater states are the “blue” ones tending to vote Democrat, while the freshwater
ones are the “red” ones favoring Republicans. (I call myself a free market Democrat,
whether or not that’s a contradiction in terms.) Freshwater views tend to oppose
intervention, but accept Keynesian basic definitions and equations such as the
Y =] +C doctrine and the distinction between “attempted saving” and investment.
It is these I question.
I] don’t think much of his view that intended saving (consumption foregone)
becomes actual saving only if invested, and becomes an equal amount of physical
capital growth if it is. Then (actual) net saving, net investment and physical capital
growth would become synonymous. | said why I prefer a language where saving
and investment are synonymous in the first place. What matters is rate of return.

Area Analysis 10
At the national level, the U.S. Virgin Islands elects a delegate to Congress from its at-large
congressional district. However, the elected delegate, while able to vote in committee, cannot
participate in floor votes.
At the territorial level, 15 senators—seven from the district of Saint Croix, seven from the district of
Saint Thomas and Saint John, and one senator at-large who must be a resident of Saint John—are
elected for two-year terms to the unicameral Virgin Islands Legislature. The U.S. Virgin Islands has
elected a territorial governor every four years since 1970. Previous governors were appointed by the
President of the United States.
Population and Employment
In 2008, the residential population of the Virgin Islands peaked at an estimated 115,852 persons. This
follows five years of slow but steady growth of 1.0%, slightly slower than the U.S. annual average of
1.15%. Since 2008, population levels have fallen each year, to the 2014 estimated population of
103,961 persons.
Among the three islands, St Croix and St Thomas are nearly equally populous with St John having less
than 4 percent of the total population of the Virgin Islands.

The territory’s Labor Force has also declined slightly, and there has been a steady increase in the

id. at 10). Petitioners do not contend that Jane Doe 3 and Jane Doe 4’s “participation in this
case” can only be achieved by listing them as parties.
As it stands under the original petition, the merits of this case will be decided based on a
determination of whether the Government violated the rights of Jane Doe 1, Jane Doe 2, and all
“other similarly situated victims” under the CVRA. Jane Doe 3 and Jane Doe 4 may offer
relevant, admissible, and non-cumulative evidence that advances that determination, but their
participation as listed parties is not necessary in that regard. See Herring, 894 F.2d at 1024
(District court did not abuse its discretion by denying amendment where “addition of more
plaintiffs .. . would not have affected the issues underlying the grant of summary judgment.”’); cf.
Arthur v. Stern, 2008 WL 2620116, at *7 (S.D. Tex. 2008) (Under Rule 15, “courts have held
that leave to amend to assert a claim already at issue in [another lawsuit] should not be granted if
the same parties are involved, the same substantive claim is raised, and the same relief is
sought.”).° And, as to Jane Doe 4 at least, adding her as a party raises unnecessary questions
about whether she is a proper party to this action.°
Petitioners also admit that amending the petition to conform to the evidence—by
including references to the non-prosecution agreement itself—is “unnecessary” as the “existing
petition is broad enough to cover the developing evidence in this case.” (DE 311). The Court
> The Court expresses no opinion at this time whether any of the attestations made by
Jane Doe 3 and Jane Doe 4 in support of their motion will be relevant, admissible, and non-
cumulative.
° The Government contends that Jane Doe 4 is not a true “victim” in this case because
she was not known at the time the Government negotiated the non-prosecution agreement, and
accordingly she was not entitled to notification rights under the CVRA. (See DE 290 at 10).
Any “duplicative” litigation filed by Jane Doe 4 would necessarily raise the issue of whether she
has standing under the CVRA under these circumstances.

defended the right of skinny dippers to an isolated section of the Cape Cod National Seashore.
(In 197_, a federal district court recognized a limited right to nude sunbathing in areas that
present no conflicts with the rights of others. The decision, despite its limited scope was
characterized as a “Magna Carta for nudism.’’)
Pornography, like nudity, offends many Americans, but there are those who would ban not only
public displays of pornography, but private use as well. They argue that three distinct types of
harm are caused by pornography. The first, as with nudity, is that it is offensive to many people
who are involuntarily exposed to it. No empirical evidence is required to prove this kind of harm:
if people say they are offended, that is the end of the matter. The second is that some people are
offended by the mere knowledge that other people, who are not offending by watching it, are
watching it in private. Whether this type of what I call “vicarious offensiveness” warrants an
except to the First Amendment raises profound legal issues. The third, very different, kind of
harm is that pornography is alleged to cause rape and other physical violence against women.
This allegation, which if true would warrant legal protection, is hotly disputed and unproven, if
not improvable.**
group, he might respond by striking back. Hence, such provocatively offensive expressions have been called
“fighting words” and have been denied First Amendment protection by some courts over the years. This concept
has assumed center stage recently, as some Muslim groups, individuals and even nations have threatened violence
in response to the publication of “offensive” books, cartoons and other media critiques of Islam and its prophet.
The stakes have also risen. Instead of merely fighting words, some radical Muslims regard insults to the prophet
as killing and bombing words.
* The issue is somewhat complicated, because it may be true that certain kinds of violent pornography (as well as
violent non-pornography) may be contributing factors in certain people’s decision or propensity to rape, just as
alcohol or other drugs may be contributing factors. What is undeniably clear is that only a miniscule fraction of
men who view pornography go on to rape or commit violence, and that a great many rapists do not view
pornography. See Alan Dershowitz, Why Pornography? in Shouting Fire (Little Brown, 2002) pp. 1630-1675.

As set forth in Dershowitz’s Motion for Clarification of Confidentiality Order or Relief
from that Order, filed Jan. 29, 2016, it appears that Roberts made false statements in a publicly
filed affidavit about being present at a private island in the US Virgin Islands when former
President Clinton was there. Indeed, former FBI Director Louis Freeh determined based on the
response of the federal government to a FOIA request that the absence of records responsive to
the request “strongly establishes that former President Clinton was not present on Little St.
James Island during the period at issue.” /d. at 2. If Roberts made a false statement under oath
about former President Clinton, it is equally if not more likely that she has made false statements
about others whose whereabouts are more difficult to track.

2004 remains a source of controversy
among his PLO loyalists, many of
whom believe he was poisoned
by Mossad, the Israeli intelligence
service. By the time Shimon Peres, the
Nobel Prize-winning prime minister
of Israel who helped resolve many of
the more intangible issues, died more
peacefully aged 93 in 2016, he had
become one of the most accomplished
statesmen of our age.
But perhaps the greatest casualty
from that era – when there were
genuine expectations on both sides of
the Israeli-Palestinian divide that the
conflict might be resolved peacefully
– has been the peace process itself,
which today is almost nonexistent.
When, for example, I told an Arab
ambassador acquaintance I was
going to see a preview of the play,
he simply remarked: “No one talks
about the peace process any more. It
doesn’t exist.”
This makes Roger’s examination of
one of the most unlikely diplomatic
dialogues ever undertaken all the
more poignant, as it harks back to
an era when reconciliation seemed
genuinely possible.
The task facing the rival delegates
when they first meet is a daunting
one. For the Israelis, if the fact became
known that they were talking to the
PLO, the government would most
likely fall. For the Palestinians, it
would mean an assassin’s bullet.
At the heart of this danse macabre
stands Rød-Larsen, whom I met on
several occasions in Jerusalem in the
Nineties when the hard work had
begun on implementing the deal. A
quiet, patient man, he never seemed
to be entirely comfortable with the
rough-house atmosphere of the
region, where disputes were often
more likely to be resolved through
rocks and rubber bullets than rational
persuasion.
Toby Stephens’s portrayal of Rød-
Larsen gives him a great deal more
zest and personality than I recall, but
this neatly nuanced performance is
key to the pace of this fast-moving,
entertaining take on the events (Rogers
has said that, in order to liven up what
might otherwise seem a prosaic and
convoluted political process, he studied
the plays of Noël Coward).
My favourite scene from the play
is the one where the lead Israeli
negotiator, taking a break from
the negotiations, entertains his
Palestinian counterparts by giving
an impersonation of Arafat as an
effeminate narcissist, a portrayal I
found entirely plausible from my
own encounters with the PLO leader,
whose vanity knew no bounds.
Uri Savir, who was deputed by
Peres to run the Israeli side of the
negotiations, was someone else I
got to know during that period. An
urbane multi-linguist of an academic
disposition, I generally found Uri to
be softly spoken and thoughtful when
discussing regional issues. Philip
Arditti’s portrayal of him in the play,
though, makes him out to be more
like the uncompromising, muscular
Israeli type, more usually found in the
ranks of the security forces than in the
diplomatic service.
Depictions in theatre of almost
anything to do with the Middle East
tend to stir strong passions among
audiences. I was particularly struck by
Rogers’ sympathetic understanding
of the Palestinian predicament. “I was
very anxious about the combustibility
of it,” said Rogers in a recent
interview. “I assumed there would be
controversy [in America] only because
someone would be enraged that I had
allowed the ‘other side’ to have their
say.” Certainly Peter Polycarpou’s
depiction of Ahmed Qurei, the
Palestinian finance minister sent
by Arafat to make peace, admirably
captures the conflicting emotions

Thanks to this one maneuver, which was later outlawed by Congress, Mr. Trump potentially escaped

XI. CERTAIN LEGAL & REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS
Securities Act of 1933
The Limited Partner Interests described herein will not be registered under the Securities Act in
reliance upon the exemptions for transactions not involving a public offering. Each investor
will be required to make certain representations to the Fund, including that such investor is an
“accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, that it is
acquiring a Limited Partner Interest in the Fund for its own account, for investment purposes
only and not with a view to resale or distribution, that it has received or has had access to all
information it deems relevant to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Fund and
that it has the ability to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Fund. The Limited
Partner Interests described herein will constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act
and as such will be subject to certain restrictions on transferability. The Limited Partner
Interests may not be transferred or sold unless the Limited Partner Interests have been
registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available. It is not
contemplated that registration under the Securities Act or other securities laws will ever be
effected. The Limited Partner Interests are subject to further restrictions on transfer as
described in the Partnership Agreement.
This Memorandum is not a public offering “prospectus” and does not purport to describe or
otherwise address all material considerations relating to an investment in the Fund. Prior to
making an investment, prospective investors and their advisors are invited to ask questions of,
and obtain additional information from, the General Partner concerning the Limited Partner
Interests described herein, the terms and conditions of the offering and any other relevant
matters. Such information will be provided to the extent the General Partner possesses such
information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense.
Any subscription is subject to a determination by counsel to the Fund that the subscription is in
compliance with applicable federal and state laws and regulations.
Investment Company Act of 1940
The Fund will not be registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act
pursuant to an exemption set forth in Section 3(c)(1) and/or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment
Company Act. The Fund will obtain appropriate representations and undertakings from all
purchasers of Limited Partner Interests, including restrictions on transfer, to ensure that such
purchasers meet the conditions of the exemption. Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company
Act requires that each prospective purchaser be a “qualified purchaser” within the meaning of
Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act. Information with respect to such requirements
for “qualified purchaser” status will be included in the Fund’s Subscription Agreement. The
General Partner is not registered as a broker-dealer under the Exchange Act, or with the NASD,
and is consequently not subject to certain record keeping and specific business practice
provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules of the NASD.

Pardon the formality below - I want to approach your very legitimate questions / concerns in a serious
manner.
Attached and below the same.
Dear Jeffrey:
As requested, the following addresses your two questions / concerns about our proposed Closer To Truth TV
series "The Science of Sleep and Dreams":
(i) Have there been sufficient breakthroughs in Sleep and Dreams (significantly beyond traditional
understandings) to justify a major TV series?
(ii) Even if 'yes' to (i), is now the proper time for such a foundational series, or are more years needed for
corroborative studies and further research to solidify the breakthroughs?
In preparing this response, my primary source is Professor Patrick McNamara, Department of Neurology,
Boston University School of Medicine, with whom CTT Producer/Director Peter Getzels and I spoke with at
length today. Patrick is one of the leading sleep and dream researchers (he himself more dreams). More
importantly, he is perhaps the leading chronicler of the field, with many publications (including 26 entries in
related encyclopedias). He is co-editor-in-chief of the "Encyclopedia of Sleep and Dreams" (2012) and
the sole author of the forthcoming "An Introduction to the Neuroscience of Sleep and Dreams" (Cambridge
University Press, 2018), which intends to present the latest science and to become a main textbook for
graduate courses/seminars. Patrick is a CTT contributor and colleague.
When we asked Patrick, his first response — "This is the ideal time to tell the sleep-and-dreams story" — and he
cited (in essence) your two questions, in that (i) the multiple breakthroughs are now sufficiently well
corroborated by numerous independent labs such that a substantial foundation for the new, deeper
understanding of sleep and dreams is now for the first time (over the past few years) confirmed and
established, and (ii) there are now interesting application and critical clinical questions to pose, explore and
pursue, such as for the treatment of various mental-related illnesses that have known sleep-related syndromes
(e.g., PTSD and Depression).
To understand the significance of recent breakthroughs, a defining characteristic of sleep and dreams is that
there are two distinct kinds of sleep — REM (rapid-eye-movement) Sleep and NREM (non-rapid-eye-
movement) Sleep. Most dreams are associated with REM sleep (though complex). The eye movement
gives the eponymous name, but a more important designation defines the two stages in terms of brain waves
(electroencephalograph — EEG): REM is Fast-Wave Sleep (similar to the waking state) and NREM Sleep is
Slow-Wave Sleep (very different from the waking state). This difference between REM and NREM sleep has
been known since 1953 (different EEGs since 1937), but its deep significance has only been discovered and
confirmed in very recent years (as explained below).
Following are the key areas of breakthrough in sleep and dreams (from Patrick). Patrick states that these are
HOUSE OVERSIGHT 025191
now reproducible, non-controversial, and well-accepted among experts, although still not appreciated by the
public - hence the high value of our CTT TV series. The organizing idea is why and how are sleep and dreams
essential for normal memory consolidation and bodily health / well-being.
Memory Consolidation. There is a fundamental difference between REM and NREM Sleep for memory
consolidation: REM is for emotional memories, whereas NREM is for declarative and procedural memories.
Hence, understanding and dealing with REM emotional memories can lead to treatment for the many
neuropsychiatric illnesses that have sleep/dream-related disorders or syndromes (Parkinson's Disease,
Anxiety, Substance Abuse, many sleep disorders such as Nightmare Disorder, etc., in addition to PTSD and
Depression). Research shows bi-directional causality between neuropsychiatric disorders and sleep disorders.
This is a superb example of how fundamental science breakthroughs lead to clinical breakthroughs. This fact
that REM is associated with emotional memories is nicely consistent with the apparent psychotic nature of
dreams, because in REM Sleep the frontal cortex is 'down-regulated' (and the frontal cortex is associated with
rational planning, reflection, controlling impulses), while in REM Sleep the limbic system is 'up-regulated"
(and the limbic system is associated with emotions and feelings) — see Neuroimaging below. This is
why dream states flood the ego with emotional fantasies without rational control. However, it is also true that
the limbic system enables creative ideas, thus grounding in science the long-suspected idea that sleep and
dreams can enhance creativity.
As Dr. Robert Stickgold, our other advisor on the series, wrote: "It would be nice if we could talk about sleep
and memory as if there were only one type of memory and one type of sleep. But this is far from the case.
Sleep and memory each comes in many forms, and furthermore, memories can go through multiple forms of
post-encoding processing that must be individually addressed."
Immunity / Immune System. Strengthening the immune system is now a proven product of NREM sleep.
Discerning the evolutionary basis for this is a key research project (i.e., it seems counter-intuitive
that sleeping facilitates fitness for survival in that predators lurked in the jungles and on the plains so that
going unconscious during sleep does not, at first glance, seem especially adaptive). Studies of sleep in various
non-human animals reveals a direct relationship between longer periods of NREM (Slow-Wave) Sleep and a
stronger immune system, especially in fighting parasites. NREM Sleep releases molecules that
fight inflection; NREM Sleep works for the maintenance, repair and activation of the immune system. (This
gives scientific rationale for the need or desire to sleep during illnesses.) Related are "genetic conflict" studies
with respect to REM and NREM, showing differences in heredity between material and paternal lines, and
differences between males and females in which genes get "imprinted".
Neuroplasticity. Exciting recent research has reversed the century-long conventional wisdom that new
neurons are never created in adult animals/humans. The development of new neurons — neuronogenesis — is a
vital part of maintaining normal brain and mental functioning. New neurons are being created, importantly, in
the hippocampus (brain organ where new memories are encoded) — but, remarkably, the neuronogensis in
the hippocampus occurs only/largely during REM Sleep — a stunning finding. This is another reason why
REM sleep is needed for emotional memory consolidation (normal functioning).
Dream-Content. Although dreams have sparked human fascination and fantasy for thousands of years, only
in very recent years, have large-scale surveys been conducted with rigorous design, classifications and
statistical analysis. Literally hundreds of thousands of dreams are enabling statistically significant theories,
including cross-cultural analyses (similarities and differences). Dream-posting sites have revolutionized size
and structure of dream data sets. This enables, for the first time, longitudinal studies of dreams over time.
Patterns are repeated. For example, in general, the dreams of males and females differ in fundamental ways.
Males will engage in fighting with other males; females with both males and females. Male dreamers
are often the initiator of fights and the fights are usually physical. Females fight verbally. Aggressiveness
by the dreamer is almost always in REM Sleep, rarely in NREM Sleep. (Why is a continuing question.)
"Lucid Dreaming" is a new area of fascinating research. Lucid Dreaming is where the dreamer "knows" that
HOUSE OVERSIGHT 025192
he/she is dreaming while dreaming (a talent that a small minority possesses but more can be
trained/developed). Lucid dreamers, while sleeping, can now communicate with experimenters by altering
their brain activity and thus becoming detectable by neuroimaging techniques (see below).
Neuroimaging. Finally, neuroimaging technology has enabled many of these breakthroughs. As such, it is
itself a methodological breakthrough that has enabled these other content breakthroughs. Neuroimaging now
enables detailed location of the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of REM and NREM Sleep. In
REM Sleep, the dorsolateral, frontal cortex is "down-regulated", whereas the limbic system is "up-regulated",
showing the physiological basis for the emotional, wild-fantasies of dreams (see above). (Neuroimaging will
enable good visual images for the TV series without extra costs.)
Patrick stresses that while these breakthroughs form, for the first time, a solid foundation for understanding
sleep and dreams, they also open opportunities to dig deeper into the "purpose" of sleep and dreams, as well
as engender a new series of questions and directions (e.g., clinical treatments of illnesses).
Attached is Patrick's quick compiling of summaries of a few recent leading research papers (2009 — 2017,
especially 2015-2017).
You'd enjoy speaking with him, if you want.
Love to do this series together with you.
Much appreciate and warm regards,
Robert

How Not to Teach 175
Of course, the system teachers teach in does not allow them to
separate assessment and teaching. But it doesn’t allow them to teach
only cognitive processes either. For a cognitive process-based educa-
tion system to work, teachers must be allowed to teach, and others
should be the ultimate judges of success. Teachers need to help stu-
dents get where they are trying to go and let others decide whether
they have gotten there.
So, we have rule #2 for teaching:
Rule #2: A teacher should never be the ultimate judge of the
teachers own students’ success. Here again, this seems absurd. But
in the end, this separation of responsibilities is very important. Parents
judge how well their children are walking and talking, of course. But
the children are not anxious about passing their parents’ assessments.
The success is its own reward. And in the end, others judge how well
your children speak. A parent is really there to help, not judge.
Let’s look at mistake #3.
Mistake #3: Thinking there is something that everyone must
know in order to proceed
This is, of course, the killer mistake. Go to any faculty meeting, or
interview any teacher, and he will tell you that something is the basis
for all that follows that, and if you don’t know it, you can’t proceed
in the subject he teaches. Theory first is the mantra of nearly every
teacher. The question is why this is so. I have been in arguments about
this so often that I wonder why these views are so widely held.
Teach theory first, then practice. Because of this mantra, computer
science majors often don’t learn to program in a way that actually
would make them hirable, and budding medical students drown in a
sea of chemistry equations. Businesspeople learn about finance long
before they learn how to run a business, if they ever do learn that, and
psychology students learn about B.E. Skinner when what they really
wanted to know is why they are so screwed up.
Why do teachers like teaching theory so much? I think that the
answer is that it is orderly stuff, with official answers that the teach-
er gets to know while the students try to learn them. This puts the
teacher in a powerful situation and teachers are comfortable with
that. Teaching practice is much harder. There often are no right an-
swers and many screw-ups, and the learning process is much messier.

Did the British promise the Arabs independence in
Palestine?
In July 1915, Hussein ibn ‘Ali, the Sherif of
Mecca, sent a letter to Sir Henry MacMahon,
the High Commissioner for Egypt, informing
him of the terms for Arab participation in the
war against the Turks. The letters between
Hussein and Mac-Mahon that followed outlined
the areas that Britain was prepared to cede to
the Arabs in exchange for their help.

Is the money that authoritarians allocate for image
beautification well spent? Some campaigns have been
more successful than others, but autocracies that
hire well-known former cabinet secretaries or elected
officials to defend or deny their acts of repression often
fail to sway either the public or the policy community
in the United States. If democratic leaders have not
mounted adequate responses to such repression, it is
that the regime in question is benevolent and just.
Authoritarian efforts to change governments, as
opposed to perceptions, may ultimately prove more
rewarding. Russias wager on the rise of friendly
European populist parties already seems to be paying
off. After Britain's vote to withdraw from the EU and
the triumph of Donald Trump in the United States,
the prospect of radical shifts in global politics can no
longer be dismissed as unthinkable.

Date: Thursday, August 9 2018 10:47 AM
Subject: Fwd: Our May conversation - more thoughts
From: jeffrey E. <jeevacation©gmail.com>
To: BS Stern <
Hi all —
>;
I spent some time mulling additional aspects of a third choice presidential run and wanted to run five
specific attributes for a candidate by you as a group.
This much we know - the Fall elections are shaping up to be a referendum on the most divisive
American President in memory. The battle for potential Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh's
nomination this fall will only amplify the polarity of the political debate that is already deeply
overwrought on both sides. The rising tide of pressure on Donald Trump from the Mueller investigation
shows no sign of ebbing.
Unless the underlying political dynamics are disrupted, the outcomes of these unprecedented events will
still leave us with the same unsatisfactory two front battlefield of the 2016 Presidential election.
Watching these unrelenting, compounding events since our discussion in May, I am guessing we are all
asking the same question: now what? For the 48 percent of Americans who believe Donald Trump
should not be in the White House, perhaps we too want our own "chaos" candidate in 2020?
Should Trump run again, this could be a "break glass" moment for the majority of Americans who don't
support him. Do we want to break the genteel precedents of two parties running their ceremonious and
seemingly illogical nominating process to select a candidate? (Why do Iowa and New Hampshire play
such outsized roles? What kind of small-d democratic process relies on superdelegates?) The system
failed in 2016, with both parties producing terribly flawed candidates in a race to the bottom. We need to
build a back-up plan in the event the system fails again.
HOUSE OVERSIGHT 026499
It's possible, of course, that we won't need a third-party candidate. Trump could decide not to run for
whatever reason. The Democrats could nominate a winning 2020 candidate. I am not willing to take
those bets.
The ideal candidate for a new third party is someone who is widely perceived to be that rare combination
of both good and great. We are looking for a proven leader of men and women, someone with clear,
democratic — and moral — values that reflect the best of America, not our worst. We know people like this
on the national stage now.
As a thought experiment, consider the possibilities of a ticket outside the partisan lanes and imagine the
chemistry of radical combinations: Biden/Romney? Bill Gates/Hogan? Bloomberg/Haley? Howard
Schultz/Bob Corker? Sandberg/Kasich?
As we have discussed narrow path to electing the first president outside the two major party primary
system in 168 years is more navigable than most think. Heading into 2020, converging trends in
American's demands for a third party (a historic high of 61%), disapproval of Donald Trump holding
steady above 50%, and the increasingly leftward drift of the Democratic Party suggest that electorate may
be susceptible to merits of a new centrist party. Cynics will say that the structural impediments of ballot
and presidential debate access, the overwhelming advantages of legacy parties' fundraising and voter
turn-out operations preordain failure, but they're wrong; the legal and logistical hurdles are amenable to a
combination of lawyering and resources. The bigger, more consequential factors come in terms of
candidate quality and policy. I believe a candidate with five specific characteristics including a unique —
and purposefully non-specific - policy agenda could limbo a win.
• This is what I think a successful third-party candidate looks like; a dream third party ticket would
start off with enough name ID to be an instant contender. Building the name ID to run nationally is
just too long and expensive of a process to accomplish in the 28 months until the next presidential
election. We can't beat a celebrity without some celebrity of our own, whether from politics,
sports, business, or entertainment. Instantaneous name ID is so crucial because the candidate must
HOUSE OVERSIGHT 026500
start out in striking distance in any three-way poll against Trump and a fill-in-the-blank
Democratic flavor-of-the day candidate. The media and political class will predetermine
irrelevance otherwise.
• A Democrat-leaning candidate would have to top the ideal third-party ticket. We need someone
with a shot at snaking a plurality of the vote in the blue states Hillary Clinton won (227 electoral
votes), but moderate enough to win a plurality in some combination of Trump states like Florida,
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan (another 119 votes). The right candidate may even to put
North Carolina, Ohio, Indiana in play for a centrist bi-partisan ticket as well (totaling an electoral
sweep of 464 elector votes). A right leaning candidate would meet the same fate as a primary
challenger to Trump — for all intents and purposes we need to assume that 36% of voters won't be
cleaved from Trump under any circumstances and run to win around them. The deep red states
would be off the table entirely.
• With the Trump reality show airing daily, voters are now expecting to take their politics with a side
of entertainment. Heretofore, ratings will matter no matter how dry the policy topic. Surely
Stephen Colbert would gladly sacrifice his executive producer Chris Licht to produce a daily
comedic segment of this dream candidate interviewing Americans in truck stops and McDonald's
across the country. A few of the "Saturday Night Live" script writers could certainly be enticed to
disguise serious debates as informative amusement. Any candidate must be committed to a near
daily cadence of high quality, compelling video production. It will be especially crucial to keep
the voters' attention during what will be a raucous Democratic primary season. Rules governing
access to the general election debate stage dictate that a candidate enjoy support of at least 15% of
voters in the months leading up to the general election.
• This dream candidate would pledge to serve only four years and address all of the U.S.'s ticking
time bombs like Social Security, Medicare, health care reform, climate change, money in politics,
gerrymandering, and infrastructure investment in a single term. This one-and-done term decouples
our candidate from the usual politics and gives them the power of promise and deliver decisive
action. A four-year term pledge ensures governance independent of campaign finance concerns and
HOUSE OVERSIGHT 026501
narrow special interests inherent to winning re-election. This "fix-it" ticket would promise to force
decisions on all the underlying structural policy matters damaging America's long-term prospects
and distorting our democracy. No more kicking the can down the road.
• This candidate should also pledge to push for laws passed that reflect the will of simple majorities
in Congress. Congress now only allows bills to move forward when a "majority of a majority"
supports the policy and on many levels seems fundamentally broken. This third-party president
could force votes based on a transparent reading of where the votes lie via coalition building. The
Senate filibuster power will present a high hurdle, but a third-party candidate would be a de facto
disruptor of the two-party system. Party discipline could well break down, and moderates in both
parties could form a powerful, decisive block willing to work with the new President. The policies
passed into law may not be ideal for either Democrats or Republicans, but for the major agenda
items that must be addressed for America's long-term health, an imperfect fix that corrects course
is better than those that now have us hurtling toward national bankruptcy.
And if no candidate secures 270 electoral votes in 2020? The House of Representatives would choose the
next president. In 2016, reports suggested Michael Bloomberg declined to run on a third-party ticket for
fear of splitting support from Hillary Clinton and throwing the election to a GOP-controlled House of
Representatives who would then vote to select the president. The fear was the GOP controlled House
would have just elected Trump.
Would Democratic control of the House mean that the House would pick an alternative to Trump as
president? Each state delegation has a single vote in selecting a president and it is the incoming Congress
- the class elected in 2020 that would decide the election. But no matter which party has the speaker's
chair, the GOP would almost certainly have the upper hand in the majority of state delegations
controlled. Would the state delegations pick a president based on party majority control of the
delegation, the winner of the popular vote in each state or their own calculations as to who is best for
America? Precedent suggests that delegations use secret ballots, which means individual lawmakers may
vote their consciences.
HOUSE OVERSIGHT 026502
If we recruit this ideal candidate; threading the needle of name ID, a center-left bent, a TV- savvy
campaign team and a pledge to serve only four years with an apartisan agenda, money and campaign
expertise would certainly follow. And 50 state ballot access is a function of time (starting in the fall of
2019 would be prudential) and hard work as we have discussed and many of you have exhaustively war-
gamed.
Part and parcel of this effort would be motivating the often politically lackadaisical middle to vote. The
raft of new technologies in data targeting and biometric mobile voting technology could transform the
electorate in the next few, amping voter participation and injecting the voices of moderates (both in
political views and level of political interest) into the process. And any third-party effort must
incorporate advocacy for accelerated adaption of these all but inevitable voter verification tools. I believe
Silicon Valley could be game-changing allies in this effort.
I am sure none of us doubt that chaos could potentially be unleashed by jamming three viable candidates
into a two-party system. An election that ends up in the House of Representatives is an uncontrollable,
murky and ancient process. But might that be a less scary prospect than relying on the Democrats to
nominate a candidate who can beat Trump in 2020?
I look forward to talking more about all of our ideas on this hopeful project in coming weeks. Please feel
free to call me to discuss. Thank you for taking time to review this note.
Sincerely,

Chapter Twelve
My own part in the Lebanon war would change dramatically as a result of
that last military exercise in the Sinai. Arik Sharon was now Minister of
Defense, and he came for the final afternoon. From his experience as a frontline
commander — in 1956, 1967 and 1973 — he knew the dunes and wadis and
sprawling expanses of sand as well as any general in Israel. Watching our
intricate mini-war draw to its close, he made no effort to hide his enthusiasm for
the kind of quick, assertive battlefield maneuvers he’d long championed. But
more than that, his closest aide soon began sounding me out on my views about
the long-term organization, force balance and funding for the Israeli military. A
few weeks later, Arik offered me a promotion: a return to the kirya, as a two-
star general, to become head of planning for the armed forces.
I don’t know why he chose me: the Sinai exercise perhaps, the fact he knew
I'd studied “large and complex organizations” at Stanford, or maybe just the
fact our paths had first crossed two decades earlier when I was in Sayeret
Matkal. But even though it meant leaving my division command, especially
tough since the final Sinai withdrawal was approaching, it was an offer I never
contemplated turning down. Not just because of the second star on my uniform.
Ever since the 1973 war, along with a few other senior officers including Dan
Shomron, I had been making the case for a shift to more mobile and less
vulnerable forces and weapons systems. I saw the new role as a chance to help
encourage that critically important change.
There was just one hitch: all senior military assignments required the formal
approval of the chief-of-staff, my old friend Raful Eitan. Raful did manage to
delay things for several weeks. At one point, he even brought to bear a quality
I’d never suspected he had: a sense of humor. “OK, Pll agree to promote
Barak,” he told Arik. The next day, he said he’d meant /itan Barak — a very
good commander, by the way, who had been one of my instructors in officers’
school. Arik insisted, however. My appointment went through.
And one, unanticipated result was that I didn’t just play the field command
role I’d anticipated, from our Cinerama deployments, in Arik’s toweringly
ambitious, ill-planned and ultimately disastrous war in Lebanon. I became part
of months of planning discussions in the Airya before our tanks finally rumbled
across the northern border on the morning of June 6, 1982.

BREAKING DOWN DEMOCRACY: Goals, Strategies, and Methods of Modern Authoritarians
continue their investigation of these techniques and
experiment with ways to combat them.
We also urge more intense coverage of Beijing's efforts
to undermine democratic norms in neighboring states
or territories, as in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and its
largely successful attempts to pressure other govern-
ments into repatriating citizens who had fled persecu-
tion in China.
Lastly, the media are not doing their job if they neglect
to give aggressive coverage to the lobbyists and pub-
lic-relations specialists who make money by repre-
senting dictators and kleptocrats. Those who flack for
the leaders of China, Azerbaijan, Egypt, and their ilk
should be made to answer for each political prisoner,
murdered opposition figure, shuttered newspaper, and
offshore account full of stolen funds that can be tied
to their authoritarian clients.
To the academic community: We urge academic
associations, individual scholars, and university
administrations to stand up for freedom of thought
and open inquiry at a time when those values are
under relentless pressure from dictatorships. We
urge statements of protest against the persecution of
fellow scholars or the politicized rewriting of history,
especially in countries, like Russia and China, that are
integrated into the international university system.
We urge universities to reject the establishment of
projects and study departments—whether at home or
overseas—that do not adhere to the highest stan-
dards of intellectual freedom or that restrict discus-
sion of certain subjects.
To the business community: We urge private busi-
nesses to avoid commercial relationships with
authoritarian governments that force them to violate
fundamental democratic principles. Private compa-
nies and investors have a clear interest in democratic
public goods like the rule of law, which guarantees
their property rights, and the transparency provid-
ed by free media and corruption watchdogs, which
ensures the accuracy of economic data and the fair
allocation of state contracts. They should therefore do
what they can to prevent any further deterioration in
the condition of global democracy.
Some sectors are especially vulnerable to authoritarian
pressure, and have a special role to play in combating it.
We urge the film industry to reject involvement in joint
ventures with companies that have close ties to au-
thoritarian regimes and reputations for demanding po-
liticized censorship of artistic content. We also urge the
technology industry to refuse business arrangements
that require active complicity in or passive acceptance
of political censorship or information control.
To the European Union: We urge the EU to undertake
a comprehensive review of member states’ democrat-
ic institutions to determine whether recent changes
have weakened checks and balances or unduly
protected incumbent parties from fair electoral com-
petition. The EU should adopt measures to publicize
departures from democratic standards and develop
a new set of sanctions that could be imposed on
noncompliant governments—whether inside, outside,
or hoping to join the bloc—even in the absence of
unanimity among member states. In the meantime,
the EU should use the sanctions already in place, even
if it means freezing a member state's participation,
and be prepared to actually impose any new sanctions
that might be introduced.
To private foundations: We urge private foundations
to recognize and oppose the current assault on
democracy. With a few exceptions, the great institu-
tions of American philanthropy have studiously—and
shamefully—ignored the steady erosion of global free-
dom and the rise of authoritarian powers. The recent
developments in Europe and the United States will
hopefully shake their complacency. There is a strong
need for analysis, support for individual dissidents,
and aid for societies under authoritarian threat, and as
many democratic governments waver in their com-
mitment to such priorities, it is essential for private
funders to step into the breach.
To mainstream political candidates: We urge re-
sponsible political figures to call out colleagues or
rivals when they show contempt for basic democratic
ideas. Until now, politicians in the democracies have
been unimpressive in their responses to opponents
who embrace authoritarian figures like Putin. This
is despite the overwhelming evidence of egregious
crimes under Putin’ rule: murdered journalists and
political opposition leaders, the invasion of neighbor-
ing states, brutish counterinsurgency campaigns in
the North Caucasus, the emasculation of a once-vi-
brant media sector, rigged elections, and much more.
If they choose to shower him with praise, political
leaders like Marine Le Pen, Geert Wilders, and Donald
Trump should be forced to account for the realities of
Putin's appalling record. The same is true for any politi-
cian who praises dictators in the Middle East, Asia, or
Africa.

conclude” that Epstein was able to access a large number of underage girls through a pyramid
abuse scheme in which he paid underage victims $200-$300 cash for each other underage victim
that she brought to him. See Palm Beach Police Incident Report at 87 (hereinafter “Incident
Report”) (Exhibit “A”)? The Palm Beach Police Incident Report details Epstein’s scheme for
molesting underage females. Among other things, the Incident Report outlines some of the
experiences of other Epstein victims. When S.G, a 14 year old minor at the time, was brought to
Epstein’s home, she was taken upstairs by a woman she believed to be Epstein’s assistant. The
woman started to fix up the room, putting covers on the massage table and bringing lotions out.
The “assistant” then left the room and told S.G. that Epstein would be up in a second. Epstein
walked over to 8.G. and told her to take her clothes off in a stern voice. S.G. states in the report
she did not know what to do, as she was the only one there. S.G. took off her shirt, leaving her
bra on. Epstein, then in a towel told her to take off everything. S.G. removed her pants leaving
? In support of all assertions concerning the actions Edwards took, what Edwards learned in the course of his
representation of his clients, Edwards’s good faith beliefs and the foundation for those beliefs, see Edwards
Affidavit and specifically paragraphs 25 and 25 of that Affidavit.

Though no one claimed responsibility, there was no shortage of suspects.
During and since the civil war, Gemayel had at various times been at odds with
a whole array of enemies or rivals: Muslim militias, the PLO, other Maronite
factions and, of course, the Syrians. But I think for all of us, even Arik, the issue
of who was behind the bombing was hardly the most urgent concern. The
immediate danger was a revival of the kind of rampant bloodletting Lebanon
had endured in the civil war. The day after the assassination, I joined a half-
dozen other members of the general staff and helicoptered up to the Lebanese
capital. Arik, ignoring weeks of US pressure not to do so, had already ordered
Israeli troops into west Beirut — not to fight, but to take control of key junctions
and vantage points and keep basic order.
But the question obviously on everyone’s mind was how to make sure the
situation remained under control. It was early afternoon when we reached an
Israeli command post in the largely Palestinian southwest part of the city. It was
set up by Amos Yaron, the former paratroop commander whose division had
landed by sea at the start of the invasion and was part of the push north to the
capital. At his side was Amir Drori, the head of the northern command. They
had set up a rooftop observation post just a few hundred yards in from where I
had landed with my Sayeret Matkal team a decade earlier for the Rue Verdun
operation. It overlooked a pair of Palestinian refugee camps: Sabra and, a
couple of hundred yards closer to us, Shatila.
Raful was with us as well. So was Moshe Levy, the deputy chief-of-staff,
and Uri Saguy, the head of the operations branch in the kirya. I listened rather
than spoke. All I could gather from the other generals’ conversation was that
they were trying to figure out how to handle the Palestinian camps. No one
explicitly mentioned the idea of Israeli troops going in, presumably because
they realized that, far from helping ensure order, that might well inflame things
further. Even Raful, at least in my earshot, made no reference to the “several
thousand” PLO fighters that he and Arik still wanted out of Beirut. The only
note that struck me as odd was a general agreement that the Phalangists had not
been carrying their load of the fighting during the war. One comment in
particular stuck with me, though I didn’t take it as referring to the Palestinian
camps in particular. I can’t remember which general said it, only that everyone
seemed to agree: “Why the hell do we have to do their fighting for them?”
It was not until the next morning, back in Tel Aviv, that the alarm bells rang
for me, and by then it turned out to be too late. It was Friday, the eve of the
Jewish New Year. Yet in the wake of Gemayel’s assassination, the kirya was

Regulatory Changes
On June 22, 2011, to implement provisions of Title IV of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted
final rules implementing new exemptions from the registration requirements of the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act’), one of which is commonly known as the venture
capital fund exemption. Neither the General Partner nor the Management Company is currently
expected to register as an investment adviser with the SEC in reliance on the venture capital
fund exemption. The General Partner may need to take into consideration certain conditions
regarding the nature of investments that may be made by investment vehicles advised by an
investment adviser relying on the venture capital exemption, which may constrain the Fund’s
investment flexibility or require certain non-qualifying investments to be disposed of earlier
than they might otherwise be. In addition, compliance with the venture capital fund exemption
may subject the Fund to limitations on the Fund’s operations, including limitations on the
Fund’s ability to borrow, provide guarantees and make short-term investments that are more
restrictive than any limitation set forth in the Partnership Agreement.
Reliance on the venture capital exemption also will necessitate reporting certain information to
the SEC about the Management Company, the General Partner and their affiliates and may
result in such entities being subject to SEC examination authority and certain Advisers Act
compliance obligations. If the General Partner and the Management Company are able to rely
on the venture capital exemption, investors in the Fund will not be entitled to the benefits of
certain protections under the Advisers Act. If the General Partner or the Management Company
cannot rely on the venture capital exemption, the General Partner or the Management Company
may need to register as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act. Registration under, and
compliance with, the Advisers Act could be costly and could divert attention of the Fund’s
management team. There also can be no assurance that statutory, regulatory, judicial or
administrative interpretations of existing laws and regulations will not in the future impose
more comprehensive or stringent requirements on the General Partner or the Management
Company.

she would go to London to arrange for the military campaign to be
handled by nato. Whatever the burden-sharing logistics, the United
States was in deep now, on a course that no one could predict.
Madam Secretary
For Barack Obama, the Arab Spring and its aftermath will shape just
one critical piece of his record. But, for Hillary Clinton, the swirling
challenges of the region are likely to determine her legacy. Many
diplomats remain anxious; the world they knew has been upended.
Yet they also understand that the months ahead will be Hillary’s
moment to help turn those ripples into a permanent tide of reform and
renewal.
But Hillary’s intense diplomatic efforts to forge a coalition to go to
war in Libya came at the exact worst time, only two months after
WikiLeaks, the whistle-blowing Web site run by Julian Assange,
began posting thousands of classified State Department cables online.
Candid descriptions of foreign leaders (e.g., Putin is the “alpha dog”
of a “virtual mafia state”) were published around the world and have
already led to the departure of U.S. ambassadors in Mexico and
Ecuador, with more fallout on the way. Hillary told staff that she
could not fathom how an army private, Bradley Manning, with
psychological problems and a drag-queen boyfriend could single-
handedly cause the United States unprecedented embarrassment just
by labeling massive downloads as Lady Gaga songs.
Several allies needed little comfort. “Don’t worry about it,” one
leader told Hillary. “You should see what we say about you.” Italian
prime minister Silvio Berlusconi wasn’t so forgiving. In 2008 the
loutish media baron and billionaire had described Barack Obama as
“young, handsome and bronzato (bronzed),” but after WikiLeaks he
chose to play the victim. It wasn’t clear whether he was genuinely
upset about a cable describing him as “physically and politically

Baylor loves its students. | love the students. We want them not only to be safe, but to flourish. We
worked hard to achieve that goal in a fallen world, where all too often, students will yield to temptations
all around them. We could always do more. And the silver lining of the nine-month ordeal culminating
in the events of May 2016 is that no university is more focused on Title IX-related prevention and
effective response than our beloved Baylor.
To be sure, there were failures and shortcomings. In particular, | lament the now-known fact that first
responders were, at best, insensitive to reports of sexual violence. But there are limits to what the
University can do with respect to OFF-CAMPUS behavior, especially when alcohol flows freely — and all
too frequently, it flows to tragic excess. But that jurisdictional point — off-campus drinking, not
infrequently under-age drinking — was deemed utterly irrelevant by American culture’s ultimate
mediator, the mainstream media, led in this instance by ESPN. Its provocative investigative reporting
avenue, “Outside the Lines,” had found a target on the banks of the Brazos. Several of us, including
Coach Art Briles, an honorable and decent man (and football genius) would be fatally hit by the media’s
unrelenting fusillade.

| am a TV journalist who covered the Epstein story for several years and wrote a best selling book
about him with James Patterson in 2016.
Jim Patterson and | are now consulting on a four hour Netflix documentary series tentatively set to
air towards the end of the year.
The showrunner, Lisa Bryant, is working with director Joe Berlinger whose work | am sure you are
familiar with, to produce a fair and balanced, in-depth recounting of the Epstein saga that, as you
know, has every possible dramatic angle and is a story like no other.
We thought of you because of your remarkable reputation in the public relations and show business
world and the fact that you were an acquaintance of Jeffrey Epstein.
The tawdry side of the story has been told...We hope you can give us some insight and context into
who he was before his life fell apart.
| am sure that Lisa Bryant,Joe Berlinger and Jim Patterson would all make themselves available to
get on a call with you this week.
Jim is in Florida,and Joe is traveling overseas for his Ted Bundy film.
Lisa is in New York and would be happy to meet you in person as would |.
Thanks for giving this your consideration.
Best,

How the Best Universities Inadvertently Ruin Our Schools 189
obviously respected by Boeing, so he is a senior and successful man
in his field. This means a small teaching load since the best professors
teach the least. Three semester-long courses in a year is a light load at
a big state university.
You might wonder, as an outsider to the ins and outs of the uni-
versity, why the best professors teach the least. You also might wonder
why I knew the types of courses he would teach and what I mean by
that. I will explain.
To start this explanation, it is important to understand why pro-
fessors are “rewarded” with light teaching loads. (Note the word load.
This is the normal way this is discussed in a university.) I was given
an extraordinarily light load at Northwestern for two reasons. One
reason was that universities, like baseball teams, recruit so-called “su-
perstars” (yes, that is how they are referred to in the university) from
competitors. So Northwestern had to beat Yale’s offer in my case. At
Yale I taught one semester-long course per year, so Northwestern sim-
ply made me a better offer.
The reason both of these universities would even consider such a
light load is that I earned money for the university. As I used to tell
my children when they asked “why” questions, in the end it is usually
about money.
I was recruited by Northwestern (in 1988), but I was really being
recruited by Andersen Consulting. They offered Northwestern (that is,
they offered me if I came to Northwestern) $30 million (over a 10-year
period). Yes, that’s right, $30 million. I think you can see that North-
western didn’t really care what I taught or when I taught it. They
wanted that money. And, they also wanted the prestige.
Before I go too much further, I need to explain the prestige thing
because it is very important. In fact, the prestige issue for professors
and universities is precisely the root of the problem in our education
system. This will take some time to explain, so let me start simply for
now.
When Harvard plays Yale in football, they are battling for prestige.
But the battle may not be on the field exactly. The real battle is in
how powerful and important the alumni who attend the game have
become and how big their respective endowments have become and
who has the best chemistry department or business school. It is a real
battle. The battle is for reputation. And, although it may seem silly to
take this battle seriously, it is taken very seriously. There is no World

; Origins February 24 — 26, 2017
PROJECT An Origins Project Scientific Workshop
ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY Challenges of Artificial Intelligence:
Envisioning and Addressing Adverse Outcomes
2) DEMOCRACY, INFORMATION, AND IDENTITY
Al, Information, and Democracy
(Incorporating contributions from Shahar Avin, Sean O hEigeartaigh, David McAllester, Eric Horvitz,
and others)
An informed public is important to the healthy functioning of democratic societies. We can expect
potential forthcoming advances around the control of information feeds with applications in
spreading propaganda, via spreading false or misleading information, creating anxiety, fueling
conspiracy theories, and influencing voting. Such methods will bring key challenges to democracy.
CHALLENGES AHEAD WITH Al, PROPOGANDA, AND PERSUASION
Data-centric analyses have been long used in marketing, advertising, and campaigning over
decades. However, over the past few years, we have seen the rise of the use of more powerful
tools, including machine learning and inference aimed at algorithmic manipulation, with the target
of influencing the thinking and actions of people. Some initial uses of these methods reportedly
played a role in influencing the outcome of recent US presidential elections, as well as the
elections in 2008 and 2012. We can expect to see an upswing in methods that manipulate states of
information in a personalized automated manner. These systems can be designed and deployed as
omnipresent/persistent, and aimed at specific goals for group- or person-centric persuasion.
As our data and models of how people consume and act on information improve, and as an
increasing portion of information consumption is mediated through digital systems managed by
potentially opaque algorithms, it becomes increasingly conceivable that the information ecosystem
would get captured by malicious actors deploying increasingly advanced tools to control, shape,
forge and personalize information, from ads to news reports.
Machine learning, in conjunction with active learning, expected value decision making, and
optimization of allocations of key resources, such as dollars or human effort, can be targeted at
monitoring, understanding, and then working to influence the beliefs and actions of large
populations of people. Data can be collected from large-scale populations, across multiple devices
and services, and used to make inferences about the psychologies and beliefs of people, and for
designing and guiding persuasive flows of sequences of information. Uses of Al can include
attempts to optimize stealthiness of the interventions.
In the future, a great deal of the information consumed by citizens on personal devices is subject
to alteration by information-engineers at media corporations and governmental propaganda
offices, such that outside a few key positions of power no one really knows what is going on in the
world. There is a danger of the growth of domination over time of large populations by a single
dominant or a few systems. We can imagine methods that modify even such feeds as Wikipedia
articles, creating personalized views—that subtly shift the version of the article seen by my

newspaper, book, painting or magazine can be hauled into a Federal court anywhere in the
United States and charged with participating in a national conspiracy.”
Shortly thereafter, Nat Hentoff wrote a long front-page analysis of the Village Voice. Hentoff
warned his readers of the consequences of a government victory in the Reems case.
Alan Dershowitz, a Harvard Law School professor and one of the nation’s preeminent
constitutional lawyers, has never been known as an apocalyptic civil libertarian.
Accordingly, when Professor Dershowitz speaks of the recent criminal convictions in a
porno-film case as being so chilling as to ultimately also freeze the printed word, the
warning is a weightier than if it had come from those who habitually clamor that the
constitutional sky is falling...
Should the verdict against Harry Reems be sustained, obscenity indictments throughout
the country will pyramid.
Hentoff explained that the implications of the Reems prosecution go well beyond obscenity. Ifa
conspiracy charge like this one was to be upheld on appeal, the government could make
dangerous use of that precedent in political cases involving, for example, antiwar activists.
Hentoff then quoted my legal argument:
“[H]ere was an actor who, on the one day he worked on Deep Throat, had no idea what
the ultimate film was going to look like. He knew it was a sex film, but he had not seen
any script in advance. There was no way he could know whether it was going to be soft
core or hard core. And, in fact, Harry never even saw the film before it was released. Yet
he’s convicted of a conspiracy to move the film, in the form it finally took, across state
lines.”
Following the publication of the Hentoff article had, hundreds of readers came forward and
volunteered their assistance. It also generated numerous other stories—presenting our side of the
case.

appearances were widely covered by the media. The New York Times described a joint
appearance at the Harvard Law Forum:
Harry stood with a portrait of Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter beaming down on
him. Besides him sat Alan Dershowitz, looking like a tweedy Marx Brother with his wild
nimbus of ash-blond hair, saying that he felt Harry Reems’ trial was the most significant
First Amendment conspiracy case since Dr. Spock.

and let each economist decide which version is more useful. Mine, at least, correctly
describes those same four years as losing ones.
National Accounts Overall
It seems to me that national accounts are doing nothing wrong except in modeling
the depreciation curve from misleading sales evidence. Evidence seems to show
depreciation as fast at first, and slower later. That tends to be true when depreciable
assets are actually sold. Structures tend to be customized for their original owners
and occupants. They tend to be resold when results are disappointing. This
disappointment often comes when expectations are first tested. When distressed
sellers market illiquid structures customized for themselves, prices too will be
disappointing.
Better to trust evidence of structures intended in the first place to pass from owner
to owner, as with many standardized rather than customized apartment and office
and warehouse buildings. Better still, from an economist’s viewpoint if not an
accountant’s, is to trust logic. Capital is present value of expected cash flow. Its loss
of value with time, under simplifying assumptions, is the present value of the most
distant and most discounted cash flow. Depreciation of structures we keep, rather
than sell, is least at first and greatest at the end. It is the same as with a level-
payment mortgage.
National accounts are nonetheless a magnificent achievement. They need
interpretation just as corporate accounts do. That’s where economics comes in. And
national accounts are not resting on past practices. They can be congratulated on
including market valued capital, even if sixty years too late, and on extrapolating it
backward where practical. This book could scarcely have been written if they hadn’t.
I would recommend the obvious next step. Net investment should be shown
alternatively as change in market-valued, and output as that plus consumption. Let
economists decide which version is good for what.

mentioned the involvement of state in capitalism as one of the big dangers. But these two
parties you’ve mentioned, they actually have close ties with Putin, who is the promoter of
this big danger, so I'd like to know your thoughts about this and how you’re going to deal
with it.
Bannon: Could you summarize that for me?
Harnwell: The first question was, you'd reference the Front National and UKIP as
having elements that are tinged with the racial aspect amidst their voter profile, and the
questioner was asking how you intend to deal with that aspect.
Bannon: I don’t believe I said UKIP in that. I was really talking about the parties on the
continent, Front National and other European parties.
I’m not an expert in this, but it seems that they have had some aspects that may be anti-
Semitic or racial. By the way, even in the tea party, we have a broad movement like this,
and we've been criticized, and they try to make the tea party as being racist, etc., which
it’s not. But there’s always elements who turn up at these things, whether it’s militia guys
or whatever. Some that are fringe organizations. My point is that over time it all gets kind
of washed out, right? People understand what pulls them together, and the people on the
margins I think get marginalized more and more.
I believe that you'll see this in the center-right populist movement in continental Europe.
I’ve spent quite a bit of time with UKIP, and I can say to you that I’ve never seen anything
at all with UKIP that even comes close to that. I think they've done a very good job of
policing themselves to really make sure that people including the British National Front
and others were not included in the party, and I think you’ve seen that also with tea party
groups, where some people would show up and were kind of marginal members of the tea
party, and the tea party did a great job of policing themselves early on. And I think that’s
why when you hear charges of racism against the tea party, it doesn’t stick with the
American people, because they really understand.
I think when you look at any kind of revolution — and this is a revolution — you always
have some groups that are disparate. I think that will all burn away over time and you'll
see more of a mainstream center-right populist movement.

world! The flyers talk about how cool it would be to vacation anywhere in the world, zip to work or
school, or have fun soaring like an eagle. The invisibility types talk about sneaking into stores and taking
clothes or music they like, eavesdropping on conversations, and playing tricks on family members and
friends. What is even more interesting about these particular answers is how they divide into pure
hedonism — flying — and pure vice — invisibility. With invisibility you can take risks at no cost, except
for the cost that soon becomes apparent to many of these newly donned superheroes: even if they don’t
get caught, they still did something bad, morally bad. This ratchets up their guilt. With this realization,
and a dip into the dark side, comes an about face, with some picking flying instead of invisibility. Rarely
do people stick with invisibility, but see how they might deploy their power for virtuous purposes. Rarely
do these superheroes realize that they can be real heroes, using their invisibility to gain covert information
about terrorist organizations, elicit drug traders, pedophilic priests, or abusive parents — minus the risks.
In real life, there are risks associated with every decision, some clear from the start and others
only clear in hindsight. As with self-control, a growing body of evidence shows that there are individual
differences in risk-taking: some are risk-averse, some risk-prone, and some seemingly risk-blind, unaware
that they are taking risks at all. Some of these differences are evident early in life. Some of these
differences are strongly associated with crime later in life. Some of these differences provide insights into
the invisible risks that individuals and societies confront, risks that can cause great harms.
Research on clinical populations with antisocial disorders, most notably those with a clinical
diagnosis of psychopathy, reveals a major cause of their high risk, costly, and violent behavior: a failure
to experience fear, anxiety, or stress in response to highly evocative images and sounds. In contrast with
healthy populations, psychopaths are emotionally blasé about the things in the world that can cause harm
or result in punishment. The problem lies in the fact that psychopaths, both adults and those identified as
candidates early in childhood, fail to learn about the dangers in life. Their failure to learn is caused by a
reduction in size and activity of two critical and connected brain areas: a region of the frontal cortex and
the amygdala. When this system works efficiently, it allows individuals to learn about the sounds, smells,
and sights that are associated with bad things in the world. When this system works well, individuals
learn to avoid antisocial, immoral, and illegal acts by developing anxiety and fear over the possibility of
punishment and personal injury. When this system works poorly, as is the case in psychopaths,
individuals act as if there are no dangers or risks of punishment — a disposition that enables inappropriate
actions. But psychopathy covers a broad spectrum, with problems that all of us confront at some point in
our lives, some of us even repeatedly. This is important as it forces us to look at non-clinical populations
for the causes of individual differences in risk-taking, especially our reactivity to dangerous events.
Studies carried out over several decades, in a wide variety of cultures, reveal that children begin
life with distinctive temperaments. Some are mellow, blasé about events that are startling to many.

Subject: 1st Anniversary show today -- Both Sides Now w/ Huffington & Matalin
Dear Friend,
Both Sides Now w/Huffington & Matalin celebrates its 1st anniversary this week. As the
only 2 sides/2 women show on national radio, we've grown from 16 stations in May of
2010 to 110 now.
Arianna and Mary find consensus that, contrary to the Washington and media
conventional wisdom, the Jobs Agenda is more urgent than the Deficit Agenda ("if people
only read about shark attacks, they'll worry about shark attacks," says Arianna). And they
agree that there's an apparent outbreak of men abusing the help -- Strauss-Kahn,
Schwarzenegger, Ensign. To paraphase Freud, what do men want?
But there's sharp disagreement about whether Rep. Ryan walked into Obama's trap by
proposing to end Medicare in 10 years. Will the special election this Tuesday in Jack
Kemp's old seat produce a Democratic "Scott Brown Moment"?

we were down to 1 negative (forbes) before that - Christina can confirm this.
It will get back to 1 and then 0 so long as negative things stop coming out. if new negative keeps coming out it
really dismantles much of our effort... especially when it involves an ex-president

I'll be in touch later today re: feature article.

where F, is human cash flow, z (pi) is pay, and C_ is invested consumption. The
subscript s, as usual, means saved or self-invested.
Pay z can be defined as the worker’s literal or imputed revenue. Self-invested
consumption C_ can be defined as any investment in human capital other than
through self-invested work. This makes C, all investment from outside in a sense.
But that does not mean that it is limited to transfer in. There is also plowback from
revenue (pay 7 ), as when we spend pay on textbooks or tuition. I model “pay
plowback” 7, as minor in the world we know, but definitions must account for it.
This I define
C.=(H) +m, or t(H) =C,-7,, (A5.2)
where t(H)_ is “human transfer in”. This and (A1.2a), showing F =T_, give

grueling work have finally paid off. King George VI and Harvey Weinstein now share the journey of a
single man who triumphs over adversity.
The Governor’s ball, held above the Kodak Theater, recreates the Mocambo-Ciro’s niteries of the 1930’s
and 40’s, using a palette of teal and white. Three bands alternate musical styles as hungry guests wolf
down wolfgang Puck’s delicious food. The winners triumphantly sachet around the room holding their heavy
eight pound gold statues.
An hour later there is a migration to the famous Vanity Fair party hosted by Graydon Carter at the Sunset
Tower Hotel owned by Jeff Klein. One celebrity after another poses in front of the green hedge standing
in the middle of the circular Vanity Fair logo to record their devotion and support to Graydon and the
magazine.
There’s a hierarchy of arrival times. The inner circle of Graydon’s 150 best friends attend a seated
dinner and viewing of the show at 5pm. They include Barry Diller and Diane Von Furstenberg, Francis Ford
Coppola, Jon Hamm and Jennifer westfeldt, Betsey Bloomingdale, Tory Burch and Lyor Cohen, Tom Ford, Sandy
Gallin, Mitch Glazer and Kelly Lynch, Carolina and Reinaldo Herrera, L’Wren Scott and Sir Mick Jagger,
Naomi Watts and Live Schreiber, Wendi Stark, Judd Apatow, Jackie and Joan Collins, George Hammilton,
Donna Karan and Steve Martin.
The best and the brightest talent in town arrive at 9pm. They are Justin Bieber and his date Selena
Gomez, Andrew Garfield, Jude Law, Vera Farmiga, Armie Hammer, Jennifer Lawrence, Kevin Spacey, Charlize
Theron, Anne Hathaway, Hailee Steinfield,Taylor Hackford and Helen Mirren, Scarlett Johansson, Michelle
williams, Isla Fischer and Sasha Baron Cohen, Jane Fonda after her play, “33 Variations”, Melania and
Donald Trump whom I introduce to David 0. Russell as The Trumpster gushes about “The Fighter”. Donald
offers me a ride home on his plane. He is leaving in ten minutes. Too bad James Franco didn’t know
because he is presently sitting on a commercial flight back to school, skipping his own after party.
Social standings of the rest of the guests are determined by half hour increments. Every other person
previously mentioned in the story is here. VF’s Beth Kseniak and Matt Ullian tell me the list is cut down
to 800 this year.
At 11:30pm there is another celebrity migration up the hill to Madonna manager Guy Oseary’s house. One
should note that earlier in the evening Madonna came down the hill to pose in a risqué outfit with
daughter Lourdes in front of the green hedge. Madonna and co-host Demi Moore are able to lure the créme
de la créme with the promise of fabulous music, dancing and no cameras. Those reported on their dance
floor include Ryan Phillippe with Amanda Syedfried, who were making out all night and Phillippe’s ex-wife
Reese Witherspoon and new fiancé Jim Toth. They pregnant Natalie Portman and choreographer Benjamin
Millepied, Mick Jagger, Tom Hanks, Sean Penn, Ralph Feinnes, Mila Kunis, Cameron Diaz, Gwyneth Paltrow
and Renee Zellweger and Bradley Cooper boogie til dawn.
A winner’s work is never done. Colin Firth, Tom Hooper and David Seidler show up at 4:30am at The Four
Seasons Hotel for a live broadcast on The Today Show with Meredith Vieira. Functioning on an adrenalin
rush, they are back at the Kodak Theater with Geoffrey Rush to appear on Oprah’s live broadcast. Leave it

Trump appears with mobster-affiliated felon at New Year's bash
President-elect Donald Trump rang in the new year together with Joseph "Joey No Socks" Cinque — a
convicted felon with ties to notorious Gambino crime family boss John Gotti, a recently released video has
revealed.
Cinque can be seen in a video obtained by the Palm Beach Daily News , cheering loudly as a tuxedo-clad
Trump runs through a number of campaign promises before the hundreds of guests attending the New Year's
Eve bash the President-elect threw at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on Saturday.
"The taxes are coming down, regulations are coming off, we're going to get rid of Obamacare," Trump can be
heard saying as an exuberant Cinque stands next to him, pumping his fists into the air.
Cinque's Sunday appearance with Trump might raise some eyebrows.
Beyond a 1989 felony conviction for possessing nearly $100,000 worth of stolen artwork, Cinque "used to be
friends with John Gotti," according to a New York Magazine profile from 1995 .
Cinque was also "shot three times and left for dead" in a 1980 incident that authorities described as "a hit,"
according to the profile.
Further, Saturday's Mar-a-Lago party was far from the first time Cinque cheered on for Trump.
An Associated Press report from this spring showed that the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences, a
company owned and operated by Cinque, has awarded more than a dozen of Trump's golf courses, hotels,
casinos and private clubs with so-called "Star Diamond" awards "of true excellence in hospitality."
The same report also found that about half of the roughly 30 people listed as "trustees" to the company are
Trump friends or business associates.
Trump, meanwhile, was listed on the company's website as its "ambassador extraordinaire," and he even
appeared in a 2009 tribute video to Cinque in which he said, "There's nobody like him. He's a special guy."
But when asked by reporters about Cinque in May, Trump denied knowing anything about him or his criminal
past.
"If a guy's going to give you an award, you take it," the President-elect said at the time. "You don't tend to look
up his whole life story."
The Trump transition team did not immediately return a request for comment on how the President-elect knows
Cinque or why they appeared together Saturday.
While standing alongside Cinque, Trump also took a moment to address the terror attack that left scores of
nightclub revelers in Istanbul dead over the weekend — and how the bloodbath somehow necessitates a
Mexican border wall.
"We will build a wall, you know that. We will build a wall," the President-elect told the raucous crowd.
HOUSE OVERSIGHT 033210
"And speaking of walls," he continued. "In Turkey tonight — has anybody heard? Big disaster took place in
Turkey tonight. Many, many, many people killed...It's a horror show. So we're going to get things running
properly."
ISIS claimed responsibility for the Saturday attack , which left at least 39 people dead and dozens more
wounded, calling the lone gunman who carried out the massacre a "heroic soldier of the caliphate." The suspect
had yet to be named and located by Turkish authorities early Tuesday.
The President-elect made building a wall along the country's southern border one of his main campaign talking
points, frequently promising his supporters that it will be a "great" and "beautiful" wall.
But his pledge to construct a border barrier has gone under several renditions, with the President-elect admitting
in November that it might actually end up "part wall, part fence."

The fact that we feel less empathy for people in pain if they fall outside our inner sanctum
suggests that we have dehumanized them, stripping away dimensions of experience that humanize those
within the sanctum. These are the dimensions associated with emotion, and when taken away, cause us to
perceive the other as an object. Since objects can’t feel pain or joy, we can’t share in their experience
because they lack experience altogether. If that is the case, then when we perceive any human group that
has been dehumanized in this particular way, there should be little to no activity in those areas of the brain
associated with thinking, feeling, wanting, and believing. To explore this possibility, the social
psychologist Susan Fiske placed subjects in a brain scanner and presented photographs of either extreme
out-group members, such as the homeless and drug addicts, or photographs of other groups such as the
elderly, middle-class Americans, and the rich. When viewing the extreme out-group, not only did Fiske
see little activity in an area critically related to self-awareness and the process of thinking about others
thoughts and emotions — the medial prefrontal cortex — but she also observed an intense increase of
activity in the insula, a brain area that is recruited when we experience disgust.
Fiske’s results highlight the dangers of dehumanization. Once we turn off areas of the brain that
are involved in thinking about others’ thoughts and emotions, and turn on areas involved in disgust, we
have set ourselves up for moral disengagement. As the distinguished American psychologist Albert
Bandura has documented through decades of research, moral disengagement allows people to justify harm
by transforming lethal motives into morally justified and even benevolent ones. Moral disengagement
allows us to excuse ourselves from moral responsibility, either disregarding the harm imposed or
convincing ourselves that it was justified, even obligatory. In several international studies of school-aged
children, results consistently show that those who are most morally disengaged are most likely to engage
in various forms of aggression, including bullying and repeated criminal offenses. These same children
are also least likely to engage in helpful behavior, revealing that moral disengagement dispenses with the
typical process of self-censure and sanctioning that we carry around when we are morally engaged. Ina
study of American prison personnel involved in death penalty sentences, executioners were more morally
disengaged than support staff or prison guards. Executioners were more likely to dehumanize the
convicted prisoner and provide moral and economic justifications. Executioners also felt less guilt
because they had developed a narrative to justify their actions, one that ascribed complete fault and
responsibility to the victim. Support staff flipped in the opposite direction, fully involved with the
weighty moral issues associated with ending someone’s life. In a study of people’s political attitudes,
those with strong right wing authoritarian views, commonly associated with fascism and submission to
authority, were more likely to support war by means of morally disengaging. In particular, they were most
likely to support war by justifying its necessity and trivializing the harm that will necessarily arise — for

Harnwell: The third-largest conservative news website is something to be extremely
impressed by. Can you tell for the people here who aren’t within the Anglosphere and they
might not follow American domestic politics at the moment — there seems to bea
substantial sea change going on at the moment in Middle America. And the leader of the
majority party, Eric Cantor, was deselected a couple of weeks ago by a tea party
candidate. What does that mean for the state of domestic politics in America at the
moment?
Bannon: For everybody in your audience, this is one of the most monumental — first off,
it’s the biggest election upset in the history of the American republic. Eric Cantor was the
House majority leader and raised $10 million. He spent, between himself and outside
groups, $8 million to hold a congressional district. He ran against a professor who was an
evangelical Christian and a libertarian economist. He ran against a professor who raised
in total $175,000. In fact, the bills from Eric Cantor’s campaign at a elite steak house in
Washington, DC, was over $200,000. So they spent more than $200,000 over the course
of the campaign wining and dining fat cats at a steak house in Washington than the entire
opposition had to run.

everyday events are subject to perceptual ambiguity and its attendant variety of
interpretations, mystical union is claimed to bring the existence and meaning of
Absolute Reality into direct experience. This kind of knowing is more akin to the
Platonic view of mathematics, that theorems have been everlastingly existent, from
before our physical world, then it is to the here and now, physically based, finite
computations involving the experimental machines of physics.
The philosopher-mathematician father of phenomenology, Edmund Husserl,
criticized the physics-want-to-be orientation of the 1860 empirical, objective
measure psychologies of Fechner and Wundt. He understood the best of their
findings as simply correlations between subjective and observable events. Using
mathematical discoveries as examples, Husserl spent his life arguing for the
possibility of abstract truths relevant to mind being more reliable and valid if grasped
via direct experience. Knowing by what the popular mid-twentieth century writer of
science fiction, Robert Heinlein, called grocking it. This is antithetical to the attitudes
of today’s human cognitive and brain sciences which disallow such knowing as
deeply suspect unless accompanied by objectively definable observables such as
changes in electrical or imaging indices of brain activity in one neural region or
other. The modern psycholinguistics of brain mechanics can be _ called
neolocationism. Using modern technology to measure regional blood flow, energy
metabolism and/or electrovoltage or magnetic field activity, stories of function are
spun that closely resemble those imagined more than a century ago by the first
locationists, such as Ramon Cajal. These neuroanatomists spent thousands of
hours looking at cell clusters and their connections in stained slides of human brain
tissue using microscopes and imagined their singular and integrated function.
Today, Lewis Judd, long time chairperson of the Department of Psychiatry at
UCSD in La Jolla, carries a full sized, polymeric, three-dimensional model of the
human brain when teaching his students about human subjective experience and
interpersonal behavior. In his weekly grand rounds, he explains that day’s
psychiatric patient’s problems pointing here and there at regions in this plastic
surrogate for our electrical jellied brain. Few, if any, of the psychiatry students in his
class was inclined to ask the foundational question: how it is that a finger point and

The U.S.-lsrael relationship is based on the twin pillars of shared
values and mutual interests. Given this commonality of interests and
beliefs, it should not be surprising that support for Israel is one of the
most pronounced and consistent foreign policy values of the American
people.
Today’s interdependent global economy requires that trade policy be
developed at the national and state level. Many states have
recognized the opportunity for realizing significant benefits by seeking
to increase trade with Israel. Arizona is one of 33 states that have
cooperative agreements with Israel.

Some wait a year before making their way to the courthouse,
their date with the public defender, and an appearance before
the judge. Some get out much sooner, if only they can make bail.
But there’s no bail without money — or at least collateral—and,
of course, being without money is often what lands people in jail
in the first place.
Jeffrey Epstein could have posted bail for every single inmate 4

But that’s just one of the ways in which Epstein is unlike his

And, famously, pedophiles tend to fare poorly in jail.

local jails, transfers Epstein to the infirmary, where he spends
exactly one night before being transferred seven miles up the 4 a

process, it was hedged with several conditions. The freeze would not be open-
ended, but last for 10 months, as a way of boosting the effort to restart
negotiations. It would apply to new construction, not work already underway. And
it would exclude the post-1967 neighborhoods inside the expanded city limits of
Jerusalem. Like his other moves, it was also dismissed as insignificant by the
Palestinians. Though there was a formal restarting of the talks, they went almost
nowhere during the period of the freeze, which Bibi cited as a reason for not
extending it further. From then on, the negotiations produced even less. I didn’t
buy the narrative that this was entirely Bibi’s fault. Abu Mazen remained
steadfastly, deliberately passive. Obviously not inclined to take the risk of further
widening his rift with Hamas in Gaza, he was content to echo the Obama
administration’s argument that nothing could happen until there was a settlement
freeze. Once the freeze was announced, he went through the motions, avoiding all
the difficult issues, in the expectation Washington would ensure the freeze was
renewed. President Obama’s initial Mideast moves had made it much easier for
Abu Mazen to avoid any serious engagement. In contrast to past presidents, Obama
had placed almost all of the onus for progress on Israel. But the end result also
suited Bibi. Though I never entirely gave up hope of persuading him it was in
Israel’s interest to seek a resolution of our conflict with the Palestinians, it became
more evident as the months went on that his aim was simply to keep things ticking
over, and avoid any major new crisis.
He appointed an old personal friend — a corporate lawyer named Yitzhak
Molcho — as our negotiator. I finally realized how pointless the exercise was when,
during a visit to the United States, I found myself in New York at the same time as
Molcho. We met at the Israeli consulate. We spoke in detail about the state of the
negotiations. With Molcho still in the room, I phoned Bibi in Jerusalem on the
secure phone line. I said I’d just been updated on the talks, and it seemed clear
there were a number of suggestions Israel could make, with no domestic political
risk but with every prospect of improving the atmosphere and accelerating
progress. “Yitzhak is one of Israel’s top lawyers,” I said. “He’s struck dozens of
deals in his life. But he strikes a deal when that’s what his client wants. You are the
client. If you tell him: bring me back the best deal you can — not a peace treaty, just
a deal on a specific issue — he’ Il do it. But if his brief is simply to negotiate, he can
go on negotiating forever. And it’s pretty clear me that’s his brief.” Bibi insisted I
was wrong. He said that what I saw as time-wasting was simple prudence, to make
sure the negotiations bore fruit. But his approach never changed. Whenever it came

politics: that time and again, political and
ideological prerogatives trump economic
rationality. It made little economic sense,
for example, for Pakistan to pursue a
nuclear weapons program in the 1970s,
just as it makes little economic sense for
Iran to do so today. Clearly, both
Pakistan and Iran made major policy
decisions based on political-military
priorities rather than economic
calculations.
As for the surviving monarchies in the
Middle East, they too will likely be less
accommodating to American military
forces than they have been in the past. To
be sure, much of the Arab support for
past American military operations -- like
both Iraq wars -- was hidden from the
public eye. Arab states often loudly and
publicly denounced "unilateral
American" military action in the region at
the same time as they supported it in
backroom dealings, quietly authorizing
facilities support and air, land, and sea
access.
But if Arab Gulf states were quietly
supportive in the past, their opposition to
American military force is likely to grow
in the future. They read the aftermath of
the Arab uprisings much differently than
did American and European
policymakers. The Gulf monarchies were
shocked that the United States
"abandoned" Egyptian President Hosni

system. There are some early indicators of international economic recovery. Yet, I cannot predict that the
global economic recovery will proceed without potential hurdles. I cannot also claim that repercussions of the
economic financial meltdown are over yet. But what I can say is that the worst is already behind us, and there is
now a solid will and determination among concerned countries to join hands to collectively revive the global
economy as well as their own individual economies.
Increasing financial support to other business sectors is probable, pending the actual needs of each particular
sector. The UAE’s tourism sector is ina good shape, with UAE hotels recording high occupancy rates. The
country’s tourism industry has already successful survived the worst period and resiliently adapted itself during
the most critical times.
PAUL STOBER, Gulf News
What are the main strengths and weaknesses of the UAE, as it faces the challenge of the
global economic slowdown? What are the particular challenges that Dubai faces as it
positions itself as a global business centre?
The UAE’s strengths are numerous. The UAE’s success in facing the global financial crisis and alleviating its
impact on the Emirati economy is the most conspicuous=2 Oevidence of these strengths. The country enjoys a
leading ranking position in several fields such as productivity, environment, connectivity, and transformation
to knowledge economy. Yet the failure to match best international practices in these fields might be considered
a major weakness. We always benchmark ourselves against the best. I always say that we have just embarked
on a long journey of hard work to fulfil our promised sustainable development through a series of strategic
projects to be established during the years to come.
DURAID AL BAIK, Gulf News:
Do you feel that Dubai needs an efficient auditing body to investigate and curb
corruption in financial institutions before things become too bad? How more the UAE
can move faster in fighting corruption and promoting transparency?
There is already a government financial audit department. The department has a track record of successful
performance, and it has done very well with investigations related to corruption cases. Enhancing financial
auditing systems and capabilities is undoubtedly important and that is exactly what we are doing now. As for
promoting transparency in fighting corruption, I confirm that the UAE is completely committed to highest
levels of transparency. There is no room for corrupt officials and citizens among us. Handling corruption cases
does not mean prosecuting judging and penalising corrupt individuals only; it also aims at filling all
administrative and legal loopholes that=2 Ohave been used to breach the law.

When will the term “remote” (rural) areas disappear from the everyday vocabulary of
the UAE?
The UAE does not have remote areas in the negative connotation of the word. We only have areas that are
relatively remote from urban centers. The urban planning of these areas has to be based on scientific research to
carefully identify means of providing best efficient services to local residents.
There are sometimes exaggerated reports depicting these areas as if they are utterly deprived of basic services
while their residents live in appalling conditions. Sometimes, one reads press reports demanding a school to be
built in an area that has no more than 50 homes, while there is a school only few kilometers away with available

U.S. House Oversight Epstein Estate Documents
Overview
This dataset is a text-only corpus derived from documents released by the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform related to the estate of Jeffrey Epstein. It is intended as a resource for text analysis, search, and research into the public record surrounding the Epstein investigations.
The corpus consists of more than 25,000 machine-readable text files produced from the official committee releases and associated image-based records.
Source
All documents originate from the public release “Oversight Committee Releases Additional Epstein Estate Documents” on the official House Oversight Committee website (press release dated November 12, 2025):
The underlying materials are distributed via a Google Drive structure maintained by the Committee. This dataset is an independent derivative collection built from that release and is not an official product of the U.S. House of Representatives or the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
If the corpus includes materials from earlier releases (e.g., September 8, 2025 records) you should also consult those associated press releases on the same site.
Dataset contents
- Documents: >25,000 plain-text documents derived from the committee’s public releases.
- Source groups:
TEXT/– Files that were originally text-based (e.g., PDFs, emails) and converted to plain text.IMAGES/– Image-based files (primarily JPG) converted to text via OCR.
- Filenames / paths:
- Filenames preserve the relative path and naming conventions from the original Google Drive release, to facilitate cross-referencing back to the official source files.
Processing
- All image files under the
IMAGES/directory (approximately 20,000 JPGs) were converted to machine-readable text using the open-source Tesseract OCR engine. - Native text-based files under
TEXT/were converted to plain text using standard tools (e.g., PDF/text extraction) without manual editing. - No manual content editing, summarization, or redaction has been performed beyond:
- basic file organization,
- text extraction / OCR,
- and any redactions already present in the official House releases.
As a result, the corpus may contain:
- OCR noise and misrecognized characters
- Broken formatting
- Redaction blocks, stamps, or markers inherited from the original scans
Legal and copyright status (non-authoritative)
- The original underlying documents were created by various private individuals and entities, not by the dataset maintainer.
- The documents are sourced from releases published by the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The release webpages themselves carry standard copyright notices (© 2025 Committee on Oversight and Government Reform), and many individual documents are likely protected by copyright held by their original authors or rights holders.
- This dataset:
- Does not assert any ownership over the underlying documents.
- Does not grant any license to reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from the underlying texts beyond what may already be permitted by law (e.g., fair use or similar doctrines in your jurisdiction).
- Users are solely responsible for ensuring that their use of this corpus complies with applicable copyright law, privacy law, institutional policies, and the terms of the original House releases.
Nothing in this dataset card constitutes legal advice. If you plan to use this corpus in a public-facing product, for model training, or at scale, you should seek independent legal counsel.
Ethical and content warning

- Sexual abuse and exploitation
- Trafficking
- Violence and other highly sensitive topics
