DNSA - Home Former U.S. Ambassador: Behind Crimea Crisis, Russia Responding to Years of "Hostile" U.S. Policy This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form. JUAN GONZÁLEZ: The Ukrainian government has announced plans to abandon its military bases in Crimea and evacuate its forces following Russia’s decision to annex the region. Earlier today, Russian forces reportedly released the commander of the Ukrainian Navy, who has been seized in his own headquarters in Crimea.

"Carl Schmitt and the Question of the Aesthetic" by Neil Levi Shadow Government The Shadow Government Its Identification and Analysis By Richard J. Boylan, Ph.D. This is a summary report on those elements of that clandestine organizational network, (which we shall label the Shadow Government), which serves as a kind of "parallel government" to the official elected and appointed government of this country. It includes those elements known to the author with sufficient certainty that they can be positively identified, and their known or reliably reported functions described. It is distinctly possible that there are other elements, (particularly in the realms of the "Black Budget" and "Special Operations",) which have eluded our study, and are not named here. Just as with the official government, the Shadow Government has functional branches. In the Shadow Government five branches may be identified. The reporting lines of the Intelligence Branch and the War Department to the Executive Branch are straightforward and obvious. h) U.S. i) U.S. j) U.S. k) U.S. r) U.S.
