It is the task of statesmanship to mold, to balance, and to integrate these and other forces, new and old, within the principles of our democratic system -- ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society. V. Another factor in maintaining balance involves the element of time. As we peer into society's future, we -- you and I, and our government -- must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering, for our own ease and convenience, the precious resources of tomorrow. We cannot mortgage the material assets of our grandchildren without risking the loss also of their political and spiritual heritage. We want democracy to survive for all generations to come, not to become the insolvent phantom of tomorrow. VI. Down the long lane of the history yet to be written America knows that this world of ours, ever growing smaller, must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect. Such a confederation must be one of equals. The weakest must come to the conference table with the same confidence as do we, protected as we are by our moral, economic, and military strength. That table, though scarred by many past frustrations, cannot be abandoned for the certain agony of the battlefield. Disarmament, with mutual honor and confidence, is a continuing imperative. Together we must learn how to compose differences, not with arms, but with intellect and decent purpose. Because this need is so sharp and apparent I confess that I lay down my official responsibilities in this field with a definite sense of disappointment. As one who has witnessed the horror and the lingering sadness of war -- as one who knows that another war could utterly destroy this civilization which has been so slowly and painfully built over thousands of years -- I wish I could say tonight that a lasting peace is in sight. Happily, I can say that war has been avoided. Steady progress toward our ultimate goal has been made. But, so much remains to be done. As a private citizen, I shall never cease to do what little I can to help the world advance along that road. VII. So -- in this my last good night to you as your President -- I thank you for the many opportunities you have given me for public service in war and peace. I trust that in that service you find some things worthy; as for the rest of it, I know you will find ways to improve performance in the future. You and I -- my fellow citizens -- need to be strong in our faith that all nations, under God, will reach the goal of peace with justice. May we be ever unswerving in devotion to principle, confident but humble with power, diligent in pursuit of the Nation's great goals. To all the peoples of the world, I once more give expression to America's prayerful and continuing aspiration: Source: Public Papers of the Presidents, Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1960, p. 1035- 1040

Leaked documents expose US interference projects in Iran Newly leaked documents expose Washington’s ongoing, covert push for regime change in Iran. With millions funneled into secretive initiatives, the US aims to infiltrate civil society, manipulate political participation, and engineer unrest, all while keeping its Iranian beneficiaries in the shadows. Kit Klarenberg FEB 11, 2025 ———————- طرز ریفرنس دادن Klarenberg, Kit (The Cradle, Feb 11, 2025): "Leaked documents expose US interference projects in Iran". Available (1403/12/01) online at: https://thecradle.co/articles/leaked-documents-expose-us-interference-projects-in-iran ———————- A bombshell leak reviewed by The Cradle exposes the depths of Washington’s long-running campaign to destabilize the Islamic Republic. For years, the US State Department’s Near East Regional Democracy fund (NERD) has funneled hundreds of millions of dollars into covert operations aimed at toppling Tehran’s government – without success. Details on where this money goes and who benefits are typically concealed. However, this leak provides a rare glimpse into NERD’s latest regime-change blueprint. Covert funding for Iran’s opposition The document in question is a classified US State Department invitation for bids from private contractors and intelligence-linked entities such as the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and USAID.

Grand flop: How USAID bankrolled anti-Iran groups for botched ‘regime change’ plot Saturday, 15 February 2025 6:23 PM [ Last Update: Saturday, 15 February 2025 6:23 PM ] By Yousef Ramazani ———————- طرز ریفرنس دادن Ramazani, Yousef (15 February 2025): "Grand flop: How USAID bankrolled anti-Iran groups for botched ‘regime change’ plot" .

On the first day of his second term, Trump signed 26 executive orders, one of which – Executive Order 14169, titled "Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid" – mandates a 90-day pause on all US “foreign development assistance” worldwide. After the order was signed, the US State Department swiftly froze all foreign aid initiatives, with the notable exceptions of the Israeli regime and Egypt – the two largest recipients. Under the order, the disbursement of federal funds to any non-governmental organizations (NGOs), international bodies, and contractors tasked with delivering US "aid" is prohibited.
