A Conversation With USAID Administrator Samantha Power: Building Economic Resilience and Advancing Economic Statecraft

Monday, December 9, 2024

 

In response to new fractures and flashpoints in the global economy and heightened strategic competition, the United States and countries around the world are recalibrating their approaches to economic policy. This includes the U.S. government prioritizing economic statecraft โ€“ including affirmative measures that bring mutual economic and security benefits to the United States and our international partners. Building on decades of work supporting inclusive economic growth, USAID is now accelerating its efforts to strengthen economic resilience in low- and middle-income countries to increase debt sustainability, create jobs, and connect with U.S. and alliesโ€™ critical supply chains.

Please join us for a conversation with USAID Administrator Samantha Power and CFR President Michael Froman on USAIDโ€™s policy and programmatic efforts to meet the moment for U.S. economic and national security interests by delivering responsive development cooperation and a strengthened U.S. value proposition for low- and middle-income countries.

The most intriguing detail of the subpoenas is the demand for any information related to requests for unmasking by Samantha Power, President Obamaโ€™s ambassador to the United Nations.

Were there to be information indicating that Ms. Power was involved in unmasking American identities in intelligence reports, significant questions would be raised. As ambassador to the U.N., Power, a long-time Obama adviser, held a diplomatic position. She was not an intelligence analyst. It is not immediately clear why the U.N. ambassador would be involved in the disclosure of American identities in intelligence reports โ€” after the agencies that collected and analyzed the intelligence had decided such identities should be masked.

"Arnon is a special man. It was I who recruited him. When I was at the Ministry of Defense, Arnon was involved in numerous defense-related procurement activities and intelligence operations. His strength is in making connections at the highest levels. His activities gave us a huge advantage, strategically, diplomatically and technologically."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry three times in 2014 to arrange a long-term visa for Milchan to live in the United States, but the bribery charges against Netanyahu have since been called into question.

Milchan is an art collector, and in April 2015, CNBC ranked him at No. 3 in their list of "Hollywood's top 10 art collectors" with a collection valued at $600 million, equal with George Lucas, ranked No. 2, but some way behind David Geffen at No. 1.

The media trainer is a familiar figure: Steve Bannon, Donald Trumpโ€™s campaign guru and onetime White House adviser. Mr. Bannon is both conducting the interview and coaching Mr. Epstein on the little things, telling him he will come across as stupid if he doesnโ€™t look directly into the camera now and then, and advising him not to share his racist theories on how Black people learn. Mainly, Mr. Bannon tells Mr. Epstein, he should stick to his message, which is that he is not a pedophile. By the end, Mr. Bannon seems impressed.

Suspected assassin Luigi Mangione had eerily similar traits to notorious 'Unabomber' Ted Kaczynski, some netizens discovered - with one even branding Mangione as 'our generation's Unabomber.'

The X user noted that the 26-year-old suspect is 'extremely smart, well built and with an anti capitalism manifesto,' just like that of Kaczynski, who took his own life inside a jail cell last year at the age of 81 as he suffered from late-stage cancer.

Both Mangione and Kaczynski were described as highly intelligent, with Mangione serving as his $40,000-a-year prep school's valedictorian before going on to study computer science and engineering at Ivy League University of Pennsylvania - and Kaczynski starting at Harvard at the age of 16.

Mangione praised Kaczynski in online posts reviewing his book. And police are clearly concerned the suspect is a suicide risk - he was seen in an anti-suicide vest, also known as a turtle suit, in a photo of his detainment.

The Unabomber - who engaged in a 17-year-long bombing campaign before he was caught - went on to study mathematics as a PhD student at the University of Michigan and took a professor position at University of California Berkeley in 1967.

Over time, though, he developed a disdain for technology and many aspects of modern society.

Kaczynski eventually secluded himself from society in a cabin in Montana, where he wrote a 35,000-word essay saying he was trying to bring about a 'revolution against the industrial system' as he spoke out about the ills of modern society.

That manifesto was later published as a book - which seemed to have resonated with Mangione decades later.

He praised Kaczynski in posts on Goodreads as an 'extreme political revolutionary,' writing: 'It's simply impossible to ignore how prescient many of his predictions about modern society turned out.'

'When all other forms of communication fail, violence is necessary to survive,' Mangione wrote. 'You may not like his methods, but to see things from his perspective, itโ€™s not terrorism, itโ€™s war and revolution.'

He even quoted Kaczynski on his page, with excerpts from his ramblings including: 'Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness.'

'The concept of "mental health" in our society is defined largely by the extent to which an individual behaves in accord with the needs of the system and does so without showing signs of stress,' read another excerpt.
