The European Adoption Consultants (EAC) is a business that was set up in
1991 by then President George H.W. Bush and Bill Barr, his Attorney General. This agency has been caught numerous times in its 41-year history trafficking children by fooling parents in poor countries with financial incentives. CNN actually did an investigation on the EAC in 2017, interviewing parents who had been lied to about their adopted children, and then found out from the children themselves that they had parents back in their home country who loved them.

# Indigenous
Redistricting: Native American communities fight for an equal voice: The Columbia and Okanogan Rivers to the east, south and west of the Colville Indian Reservation form natural borders on a map of north-central Washington. Invisible borders stymie the reservation’s political power, some tribe members say. The Colville Reservation typically has been broken into multiple state legislative and congressional districts, making it difficult for Native candidates to garner the support of their entire communities https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.invw.org/2022/03/16/redistricting-tribes-fight-for-an-equal-voice/__;!!On18fmf1aQ!jkkiGqY6PZAtZJjoWrtntdwK1HrUB1xj4GLfeyeEysxOZEnBmnaR6KKx88mYsGHVo5pE$

Russian allegations of US-funded biolabs in Ukraine gain traction with American conspiracy theorists including QAnon adherents. Despite rebuttals from independent scientists, Ukrainian leaders, and officials at the White House and Pentagon, the online popularity of the claims suggests some Americans are willing to trust Kremlin propaganda over the US media and government.

COVID-19 Pandemic Origins: Bioweapons and the History of Laboratory Leaks. Future pandemics will continue to be a threat, so it is important to lay bare the true cause of this devastation. From the beginning, the origins of the pandemic have been debated, even though a natural zoonotic transfer to humans has been determined as the likely cause; however, speculation around a viral bioweapon and laboratory leaks remains.

Ten Steps to Equity in Education: Education plays a key role in determining how you spend your adult life, a higher level of education means higher earnings, better health, and a longer life. By the same token, the long-term social and financial costs of educational failure are high. Those without the skills to participate socially and economically generate higher costs for health, income support, child welfare and social security systems.

Another Article V Controversy: There has recently been some attention placed on the Equal Rights Amendment. There is another important Article V issue that may result in a Supreme Court case later in 2022. While the ERA debate relates to state ratification of a congressionally proposed amendment, Article V of the Constitution also provides an alternative means to propose an amendment. Specifically, on the application of legislatures of two-thirds of the several states (34 of 50 states), Congress shall call a convention for proposing amendments. This is a mandatory, non-discretionary and ministerial duty of the Congress.

Transgender Texans: From the 2017 “bathroom bill” to a new law restricting trans student athletes, Republican lawmakers have targeted transgender Texans for years. In early 2022, Gov.

Indigenous Maya and local Ladino communities, have been stewarding these forests for generations despite decades of anti-leftist, genocidal, “scorched earth” campaigns enacted against them by their own government (funded-and-backed by the U.S. and Israel, of course). Hansen’s project would ban logging, turning Maya and local communities from collective stewards of a forest to employees of a park. It would also bring “spiritual tourism” from Book of Mormon-themed companies like Anderson Tours, LDS Tours Cancun, Helaman Tours, Alma’s LDS Tours, and LehiTours (Helaman, Alma, & Lehi are Book of Mormon names).
