at the heart of all of this is the unique advantage american intelligence has over other countries. we have an outstanding classic spy network that is called human intelligence. people always use james bond. human spying, people spying on others. think of the countries where there security is a huge priority and they do not have the satellite capacity we have. countries like cuba or israel or singapore. they are -- they have extremely skilled human spying networks. what distinguishes the u.s. is the also have very capable human intelligence. we have 16 agencies that i just described. we get to hear things and integrate things that other countries cannot do. when it works, we present an informed multidimensional package. the standard of success is often not a broad array and all of the things that we assume are there, but the prospect of a terrorist attack and how to prevent it. the standard of success is often not a broad array and all of the things that we assume are there, but the prospect of a terrorist attack and how to prevent it. or all of the things that go on, one can rally

i also think it is important to talk about the unique impact due to african-americans have experience throughout the course of this crisis because as margherita armstrong writes african-americans have had a historical relationship with property that differs from that of other americans. the introduction to this history was as a form of property and contemporary relationships between african-americans and properties are still impaired. what she is saying is the only thing were not simply houses because holding private property and achieving full rights of personshood and citizenship have been directly tied since this country's founding. what is really at stake in this quest for home is freedom. in other words home and landowners it gave one access to the original american dream of democracy. it is fitting to speak a little bit about democracy because this project began when i was on a plane to a place that just lost their local democracy and that is deflate, michigan. it was the summer of 2011 and i was going to see things i had heard only whispered about. i had heard about masses of p

every american should understand what makes us unique as the people, as a country. ately, today, many of our children are failing to learn the basics about our american history. instead, many are learning revisionist or politically correct history. as a consequence, many people, young and old, have no idea what it means to be an american. because of this, i have developed in american history series for children, known as the "ellis the elephant" series.
