"The world has a lot of questions about the current state of affairs between the United States and Iran… How has the US undermined democracy in Iran? Is Iran really trying to develop nuclear weapons? How has US waged a terror campaign against Iran for years? How is it that the US and Israel, rather than Iran, are destabilizing the Middle East? How has Iran helped the US in the war on terror? In 'The Plot to Attack Iran', critically acclaimed author Dan Kovalik exposes what Americans have known about the Islamic Republic is largely based on propaganda. The 1953 coup that deposed the democratically-elected prime minister for a US-selected shah? Sold to average American citizens as a necessity to protect democracy and guard against communism. In truth, it was America's lust for Iranian oil and power that installed the tyrannical shah. The Iranian hostage crisis that miraculously ended with Ronald Reagan's inauguration as president? Evidence shows that Reagan negotiated with the hostage-takers to hold the hostages until his inauguration. Iran, once known as Persia, is one of the oldest nations on earth. It has a rich history and a unique culture, and is bordered by seven countries, the Caspian Sea, and the Persian Gulf. It is literally the intersection of many countries and many worlds. It has a population of eighty million people and occupies a space nearly the size of Alaska, the largest US state; it is the seventeenth largest country in the world. Over the past century, Iran's greatest resource, and at the same time its greatest curse, has been its oil. For it is oil that has caused the United States and other world powers to systematically attempt to destroy Iran. After a greedy Iranian monarch sold all of Iran's oil and natural gas reserves to a British financier in 1901, the West started just one of its many invasions and exploitations of the country. Using recently declassified documents and memos, as well as first-hand experience of the country, critically-acclaimed author Dan Kovalik will change the way you think about Iran, and especially what you think of US interference there. Learn how the United States vilifies its enemies, and accuses them of unspeakable horror to mask its own terrible crimes. Not only does the illuminating and important 'The Plot to Attack Iran' delve into the current incendiary situation, but it also predicts what could happen next, and what needs to be done before it is too late."

In Still Seeing Red, John Kenneth White explores how the Cold War molded the internal politics of the United States. In a powerful narrative backed by a rich treasure trove of polling data, White takes the reader through the Cold War years, describing its effect in redrawing the electoral map as we came to know it after World War II. The primary beneficiaries of the altered landscape were reinvigorated Republicans who emerged after five successive defeats to tar the Democrats with the ?soft on communism? epithet. A new nationalist Republican party?whose Cold War prescription for winning the White House was copyrighted to Dwight Eisenhower, Richard M. Nixon, Barry Goldwater, and Ronald Reagan?attained primacy in presidential politics because of two contradictory impulses embedded in the American character: a fanatical preoccupation with communism and a robust liberalism. From 1952 to 1988 Republicans won the presidency seven times in ten tries. The rare Democratic victors?John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Jimmy Carter?attempted to rearm the Democratic party to fight the Cold War. Their collective failure says much about the politics of the period. Even so, the Republican dream of becoming a majority party became perverted as the Grand Old Party was recast into a top-down party routinely winning the presidency even as its electoral base remained relatively stagnant.In the post?Cold War era, Americans are coming to appreciate how the fifty-year struggle with the Soviet Union organized thinking in such diverse areas as civil rights, social welfare, education, and defense policy. At the same time, Americans are also more aware of how the Cold War shaped their lives?from the ?duck and cover? drills in the classrooms to the bomb shelters dug in the backyard when most Baby Boomers were growing up. Like millions of Baby Boomers, Bill Clinton can truthfully say, ?I am a child of the Cold War.?With the last gasp of the Soviet Union, Baby Boomers and others are learning that the politics of the Cold War are hard to shed. As the electoral maps are being redrawn once more in the Clinton years, landmarks left behind by the Cold War provide an important reference point. In the height of the Cold War, voters divided the world into ?us? noncommunists versus ?them? communists and reduced contests for the presidency into battles of which party would be tougher in dealing with the Evil Empire. But in a convoluted post?Cold War era, politics defies such simple characteristics and presidents find it harder to lead. Recalling how John F. Kennedy could so easily rally public opinion, an exasperated Bill Clinton once lamented, ?Gosh, I miss the Cold War.?

En Europa como en América Latina, la crisis del Estado constituye una profunda amenaza sobre las políticas sociales. En Chile, el golpe de Estado de 1973 marca la muerte abrupta del modelo del Estado rector y redistribuidor que, desde la década del 40 hasta el gobierno del presidente Salvador Allende, había orientado la política democrática. Retrospectivamente, el proceso chileno aparece como la caricatura brutal, concentrada y exorbitante de un proceso generalizado y difuso que afecta a todo el Occidente. Durante más de diez años, Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan o George Bush llevaron a cabo una política de destrucción sistemática del Estado Benefactor. Y todos los países de Europa están hoy día bajo el apremio de múltiples factores, que los han impulsado a revisar las formas de ayuda social que fueron desarrolladas por ellos durante más de cincuenta años. El Estado de Bienestar parece haberse vuelto obsoleto. La cuestión de fondo es determinar si la obsolescencia de una cierta modalidad del Estado Benefactor, debe significar el fin de todo proyecto político de justicia social; y si la evidente inadecuación de las formas clásicas (keynesianas, fordianas, beveridgeanas...) de política reguladora, debe traducirse en el término de cualquier otra política social voluntarista. Las derechas neo-liberales y neo-conservadoras responden encantadas de manera afirmativa a estos cuestionamientos. La izquierda clásica defiende contra viento y marea, un viejo discurso que esconde mal su inadecuación fundamental. No obstante, una tercera respuesta es todavía posible: se trata de intentar corregir y reformular el proyecto del Estado de Bienestar desde una perspectiva que se adapte a los nuevos desafíos económicos e ideológicos de la modernidad. Esta tercera vía podría consistir, por ejemplo, en preguntarse sobre las nuevas necesidades sociales de los individuos y de las colectividades, y en redefinir los valores que deben orientar la política social post-industrial. El artículo que se presenta a continuación inspirado en la realidad belga, constituye una contribución a esta tentativa de refundación del proyecto del Estado de Bienestar. A través de él se intentan dilucidar las mutaciones del discurso de la ayuda social en Europa, a partir de los discursos de los propios actores. En este marco, lo que se trata es de hacer emerger algunos componentes del nuevo dispositivo de ayuda que podrían volver a imprimir un impulso renovado al proyecto político de justicia social. Este artículo está escrito con la conciencia que en la ausencia de un proyecto de esta naturaleza, una sociedad moderna no merece el apelativo de "democrática".

The Leander Independent School District (LISD) contracted Atkins North America (Atkins) to conduct a cultural resources investigation for the proposed Palmera Bluff Elementary School Site Project in western Williamson County, Texas. The project is located approximately 1 kilometer (km) (0.62 miles) southwest of the intersection of the South Fork of the San Gabriel River and Ronald Reagan Boulevard. The proposed work will consist of clearing and excavation to prepare for the construction of an elementary school and associated ancillary facilities. The following investigations were performed under Texas Antiquities Permit No. 8308 in compliance with the Antiquities Code of Texas (ACT) (Title 9, Chapter 191, Texas Natural Resources Code of 1977) and other appropriate cultural resources legislation and guidelines, as well as those set forth by the Texas Historical Commission (THC) and the Council of Texas Archeologists (CTA). The investigations included a background review and an intensive pedestrian survey. The pedestrian investigations were completed on February 8, 2018. Laura I. Acuña served as Principal Investigator, with C. Russ Shortes serving as Project Archaeologist performing the field work and assisted by Sara K. Bodah and R. Benjamin Lee. The area of potential effects (APE) is an irregularly shaped project area that measures 18.1 acres (7.3 hectares), with proposed depths of 1.8 meters (m) (6 ft) to account for utilities. The background review determined that previously recorded site 41WM1113 was within the southern portion of the APE. The pedestrian survey revealed that much of the project area has been severely disturbed by frequent land clearing activities, as evidenced by push piles of soil and vegetation debris. The ground surface visibility was approximately 30 to 40 percent, and 11 shovel tests were excavated within the APE. The number of shovel tests within the APE exceeded THC's minimum archaeological survey standards, and all shovel tests were negative for cultural material. Although previously recorded site 41WM1113 is mapped within the APE, the investigations did not encounter any evidence of cultural materials or features related to the site. The land clearing activities have destroyed or eliminated any evidence of the site within the APE. Based on the findings, Atkins determined there are no significant cultural resources within the APE that are eligible for designation as a State Antiquities Landmark (SAL) or for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The portion of site 41WM1113 within the APE has been destroyed, and thus would not to contribute to the overall eligibility of the site for designation as an SAL or listing in the NRHP. Therefore, Atkins recommends no additional cultural resources investigations for the APE. All field forms and photographs generated by this project will be curated at the Center for Archaeological Studies at Texas State University.

International audience ; Alain CAMBIER et Isabelle KUSTOSZ "L'Etat n'est pas la solution à notre problème; l'Etat est le problème" déclarait Ronald Reagan, dans son discours d'investiture du 20 janvier 1981. Ainsi, le rôle de l'Etat pourrait être considéré comme problématique : il serait devenu un obstacle au développement de la société et pourrait même être considéré comme un anachronisme. Le verbe "moderniser" vient de l'adverbe latin modo qui signifie "récemment" : une exigence de modernisation équivaut à demander instamment une adaptation aux situations actuelles, au monde contemporain. Moderniser requiert de s'émanciper des lourdeurs de la tradition, de se soustraire à la sédimentation des habitudes. A première vue, il peut sembler paradoxal d'exiger la modernisation de l'Etat : il est lui-même le symbole de la Modernité, puisqu'il s'est édifié au cours des XVI°, XVII° et XVIII° siècles, c'est-à-dire de manière concomitante à cette période que l'on appelle "l'histoire moderne". Mais en même temps, on devine immédiatement que ce qui est appelé "moderne", au sens historique, n'est pas nécessairement synonyme de "contemporain". Se revendiquer de la période moderne peut même apparaître anachronique quand nos sociétés contemporaines se définissent plutôt comme "postmodernes". En revanche, l'exigence récurrente de modernisation apparaît légitime pour ne pas se laisser enfermer dans des comportements sclérosés. Son suffixe en-tion renforce cette idée de processus de transformation : pour être en phase avec son époque, avec son temps, l'Etat serait sommé de se réactualiser pour s'adapter aux situations nouvelles. Mais à force de vouloir se mettre au diapason des mutations sociales, l'Etat risque d'y perdre son identité. Avant tout, l'Etat se définit comme une institution représentant la puissance publique garante de la cohésion d'une société. Alors qu'il a été le symbole même de la Modernité, pourquoi l'Etat peut-il apparaître anachronique dans le contexte des sociétés contemporaines ? Dès lors, l'adaptation de l'Etat aux exigences nouvelles n'apparaît-elle pas nécessaire et légitime ? Mais cette redéfinition des missions de l'Etat ne risque-t-elle pas de conduire à sa dénaturation ? Autant l'Etat a pu incarner la Modernité, autant cette institution peut sembler mal adaptée dans le monde contemporain. Pris au sens strict, l'Etat s'est imposé en renouvelant radicalement d'autres formes plus archaïques de pouvoir politique. Il s'est édifié, sous sa forme spécifique, au tournant de ce que l'on appelle l'histoire moderne, entre les XVI° et XVIII° siècles. En ce sens, Etat et Modernité sont apparus consubstantiels. Cependant, être en phase avec ce que l'on a appelé historiquement la Modernité ne signifie pas pour autant être adapté à notre monde contemporain.

International audience ; Alain CAMBIER et Isabelle KUSTOSZ "L'Etat n'est pas la solution à notre problème; l'Etat est le problème" déclarait Ronald Reagan, dans son discours d'investiture du 20 janvier 1981. Ainsi, le rôle de l'Etat pourrait être considéré comme problématique : il serait devenu un obstacle au développement de la société et pourrait même être considéré comme un anachronisme. Le verbe "moderniser" vient de l'adverbe latin modo qui signifie "récemment" : une exigence de modernisation équivaut à demander instamment une adaptation aux situations actuelles, au monde contemporain. Moderniser requiert de s'émanciper des lourdeurs de la tradition, de se soustraire à la sédimentation des habitudes.
