A Challenge to Republican/Conservative Forces – What’s Your Plan to Win? by Tom DeWeese

 

Republican spokesmen and conservative media continue to report with glee that the Democrats are out of control and finished as a political force. “They’re clueless,” “they’re crazy.” “Their leadership is completely out of control.” “The Democrats are done.” On and on it goes. “Are you tired of winning yet,” goes the most popular slogan. And, “The midterms are in the Republicans hands!” My frustration grows as I’m forced to watch the absolute downfall of American freedom, led by those same pathetic Republican forces who have ignored and completely misunderstand the agenda they have been facing for over thirty years. Above all, they have no idea how dedicated the powers behind it are to assuring that it’s fully enforced. It’s an agenda of central power and control from the top. Its most dangerous aspect is its goal to eliminate independent sovereign nations and change our society through a platform of non-elected councils and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as they rule through fear from made-up crises. Their tools come under various names including Sustainable, Smart Growth, NetZero, open immigration (disguised as “free movement”), and the “Collective Good.” The real name is Technocracy, and the real goal is Globalism. The forces behind it are united under the United Nations and the World Economic Forum (WEF).

HB4145 hearing today on the first day of the legislative session.

02.01.2026

As of the time this alert was created, the Oregon Legislative website was not allowing testimony to be uploaded on HB 4145, which we told you about in a previous alert.

While at the time of this posting the committee’s page shows the bill as being scheduled for a hearing tomorrow at 3 p.m., the page for the bill itself still shows no meeting scheduled. Again, these pages could change, but this info is accurate as of the time this alert was created.

So as of now, Sunday morning, you cannot post testimony about HB 4145.

8:15 Rick Bailey: SOU President By Dennis Powers

 

In January 2022, Dr. Richard J. Bailey began his tenure as the President of SOU. Prior to then, he was President of Northern New Mexico College (“NNMC”) for five years in the city (10,000 population) of Española (25 miles NW of Santa Fe). He previously completed a 24-year career in the U.S. Air Force, retiring as a full colonel and command pilot with more than 3,500 flying hours.

 

His career began after graduation from the U.S. Air Force Academy (see below), where he received his Air Force commission, served flying tours in the C-9A, C-141B, and UV-18B (Twin-Otter) aircraft and has been an aircraft commander, instructor pilot and flight examiner.

 

Rick earned his bachelor’s degree in engineering sciences from the U.S. Air Force Academy (1992), his master’s degree in international affairs from Washington University in St. Louis (1993-1997), and his doctorate in government from Georgetown University (2003-2006). He served as a military liaison and defense trade analyst for two years at the U.S. State Department after receiving his doctorate. He then served (2008-2011) as NATO’s chief air operations officer at Joint Force Command Brunssum in The Netherlands, overseeing air operations for the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan.

 

For one year, he commanded two military Forward Operating locations in Curacao and Aruba with responsibility for over 350 multi-national deployed personnel engaged in US Interagency counter drug operations. Dr. Bailey (2012-2016) then became the first-ever dean of students at the School of Advanced Air and Space Studies at Air University, Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama–and the Professor of Strategy and Security Studies.

 

NNMC (2022) is 2/3rds Hispanic or Latino, NAIA, four-year degree programs, enrollment of 1050, and where 50% are full-time. There, Dr. Bailey increased enrollment by more than 20%, cut student loan defaults by 50%, and more than doubled the college’s graduation rate–without increasing tuition rates. He brokered a partnership to construct a 1.5 megawatt solar array in lowering utility costs, plus established a corporation to partner with business entities to diversify the college’s revenue streams.

 

His background focus is making “higher education attainable to learners of all backgrounds and ages;” he taught math and science to inner-city 7th and 8th grade students during a volunteer program in San Antonio, Texas. Bailey’s master’s thesis was on the struggle for women’s rights in Latin America and his doctoral dissertation examined changes in U.S. military policy brought about by integration in the armed services.
