CHILLING EFFECTS Friday, November 22, 2013 BOB GARFIELD: Pan-American Center, a writer’s organization, released a report last week titled, “Chilling Effects: NSA Surveillance Drives US Writers to Self-Censor.” Of the 500-plus members surveyed, 28 percent said they've curtailed or avoided social media activities; 24 percent have deliberately avoided certain topics in phone or email conversations; 13 percent have taken extra steps to disguise or cover their digital footprints. The gathering sense of nervousness is nerve-racking in itself. What does freedom of expression really mean if our thinkers are constantly looking over their shoulders? But at least one commentator draws a different lesson from the report. LA Times book critic David
Rosenberg also stated that he “closed all the banks” and let them “reopen once they were stabilized”, made programs like the AAA (Agricultural Adjustment Administration), the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps), and the WPA (Works Progress Administration) attempting to “help curb unemployment by hiring people for various projects”(Rosenberg). For Roosevelt’s presidency of a three year term he made these plans for Americans. Although the New Deal did not fix the economy, he did, however, “ease the hardships of the Great Depression” (Rosenberg). She said “The major turn-around for the U.S. economy occurred after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the entrance of the United States into World War II” (Rosenberg). President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared that we would join war so with his words we joined a war that turned our economy around.
The top US Democrat in the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Representative Eliot Engel, is set to introduce legislation to train, arm, and support the Syrian opposition Monday — which would constitute a major escalation in US involvement in the civil war. The brutal two-year conflict has taken the lives of approximately 70,000 Syrians and displaced over 1 million refugees, according to UN estimates. A different report this week claimed that the US had trained between 200 and 300 Syrian rebels at a camp in Jordan. The US declined to comment on the ostensible training. The US had previously refused to provide the rebels with arms.
After all the witnesses testified, the Senate voted. It would require 36 votes to remove Johnson from office, but he was acquitted by one vote. The Tenure of Office was repealed by Congress in 1887. Additionally, the Supreme Court appeared to support Johnson’s decision and that he was entitled to remove Stanton without Congressional approval. The impeachment of Andrew Johnson has impacted future decisions of the United States government.
