Thursday May 15th Meeting #693
The Capture of the Supreme Court
Dr. John Beesley, English Born Author, retired after a long career with Xerox (Educated at London’s Imperial College and the University of Dalas, BSc, MBA, PhD), will discuss how Lewis Franklin Powell Jr. (September 19, 1907 – August 25, 1998) was an American lawyer and jurist who served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1972 to 1987. Prior to this appointment, he was commissioned by the US Chamber of Commerce, in August 1971, to write a confidential memorandum for the Chamber titled "Attack on the American Free Enterprise System," an anti-Communist and anti-New Deal blueprint for conservative business interests to retake America. The upshot was a flood of dark money used to create the "data" for the "friends of the Supreme Court" to petition the Court. The result was legal decisions favorable for polluters of the water and air and against the health, safety and financial security of most Americans. John will also show and conclude on how this facilitates Trump’s actions.

Statement on Free Speech
Our constitution and laws encourage the freest possible exchange of opinions, ideas, and information. In part, that recognizes our worth and dignity as human beings. To forbid us to speak our minds demeans us and makes us more like slaves or robots than citizens of a free country. But as important as freedom of expression is for us as individuals, it is perhaps more important to society at large.
