UNLIKE THE OBVIOUS AND REGISTERED MONEYS FROM GINA TO HANSON IN AUSTRALIA, SOME OF THE CASH THAT IS HELPING FARAGE TO BE A BRITISH POLITICAL ENTITY IS SOMEWHAT HIDDEN IN A SEA OF HONEST HONOURABLE HIGHLY POLISHED IMPERIALISM.

SAY FOR EXAMPLE: Imperial Independent Media. Nothing sinister or illegal. What is here is a philosophy of AMERICAN imperialistic domination WHICH OF COURSE IS ANTI-CHINA and ANTI-RUSSIA. It is also PRO-ISRAEL. 

COMMUNISM HAS BEEN DEFEATED EXCEPT IN CUBA. SOCIALISM HAS BEEN DEFEATED EXCEPT IN NICARAGUA. SOCIAL CAPITALISM NEEDS TO BE DEFEATED IN RUSSIA AND CHINA. That's the plan with a very polished framework of diplomacy and enticements.

So via a series of ideological submenus we came to this honourable casper:

Institute for Diplomacy, Security, and Innovation

The Institute for Diplomacy, Security, and Innovation at Pepperdine University [Pepperdine University is affiliated with the Churches of Christ] was established to bridge the gap between intellectual and policy ideas and decision making in a rapidly evolving global order. Under the leadership of Kiron Skinner, Pepperdine's inaugural Taube Family Chair of International Relations and Politics, the institute achieves this goal through guiding priorities organized around the concepts of a new geography and American grand strategy that are specifically tailored to 21st-century domestic and geopolitical realities. The activities of the institute include convenings such as seminars, conferences, and summits. The institute also publishes research-based and opinion essays in its Journal of Diplomacy, Security, and Innovation. With the launch of this institute, Pepperdine continues to serve as a global leader in higher education, deepening its expertise and scholarship in foreign policy and national security.

A Strategic Response to a Shifting World

On 9/11, the United States suffered the deadliest terrorist attack in its history, an event that reshaped American foreign policy for generations to come. In the years that followed, the Global War on Terror consumed national focus, leaving little room to craft a broader grand strategy that addressed rising global powers, shifting alliances, and emerging challenges across the Transatlantic region, the Middle East, the Indo-Pacific, the African continent, and the Western Hemisphere. As a result, US statesmen, scholars, and policymakers now find themselves in search of a strategic framework on par with Cold War-era containment.

The military conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, the bellicosity of China and Russia, the rising power and independence of nations of the Global South, and fractures in the Western alliance have made designing a new grand strategy for the United States and the world a more urgent matter. A key element is the rapid reappraisal of the geopolitical landscape, which is producing a new geography. Defined in terms of looking at the globe through novel zones of economic, political, digital, transportation, and energy freedom, the new geography has the potential both to connect nations within a region and nations from very distant regions in ways that disable their dependence on malign actors of all sorts, including authoritarian regimes. These emerging zones of freedom in turn contribute to a reduction in population disruption, illegal migration, and terrorism while enhancing religious liberty and human flourishing.

SO FAR THIS OUTFIT IS IN NEED OF A MIRROR....

When Kiron Skinner joined the Pepperdine faculty in the fall of 2022, she immediately began organizing global conversations on urgent matters. During her first semester of teaching, she had six graduate students join her in Hungary for a transatlantic dialogue on national security and emerging technologies. She then held a cybersecurity and national security conference among thought leaders from Indo-Pacific Quad nations (Australia, India, Japan, and US) at the Malibu campus. At the start of her second year, Professor Skinner hosted her inaugural transatlantic security conference at the university's Château d'Hauteville campus in Vevey, Switzerland. A year later, Professor Skinner held another Vevey conference. It focused on the global challenges posed by China as well as crises in the Middle East. It is now an annual conference that will address transatlantic themes.

Convenings that Professor Skinner has hosted in Vevey, Malibu, and Washington, DC, have brought together statesmen, scholars, and policymakers across several continents who seek a Middle East marked by an expansion of democracy, peace, and prosperity in the wake of the October 7, 2023, deadly incursion into Israel. These Future of Israel convenings will continue as a signature activity of the Institute for Diplomacy, Security, and Innovation. Conferences on the future of the Arab world, North Africa, Europe, and the Western Hemisphere will be regularly held as well.

The conferences, workshops, and seminars of the Institute for Diplomacy, Security, and Innovation are designed to facilitate new faculty research on national security and foreign policy issues and suggest pathways for shaping policy discussions in the capitals of the world. Through this work, Pepperdine seeks to become a leading voice in international engagements.

Our forums at Pepperdine University's Château d'Hauteville campus in Vevey, Switzerland, focus on what we see as the most pressing issues for the transatlantic community—whether they are an ongoing crisis or an emerging challenge. We bring together a curated mix of policy makers, business leaders, and research experts who collaborate by focusing on finding solutions and opportunities, not just understanding problems. Drawing on insight from dozens of experienced experts, scholars, and current and former senior officials, our deliberations assess the current situations and the need for future actions.

In addressing issues that affect freedom, security, and prosperity, we seek to build a community of interest dedicated to working in trust and confidence for the cause of advancing human flourishing in the transatlantic space.

In 2026, we plan to take on the "Atlantic Strategy." Unprecedented challenges require unprecedented joint action in the Atlantic World, which entails nation states in Europe, the African continent, North America, and South America. Like the United States’ highly developed strategy for the Indo-Pacific region, the Atlantic Strategy must be more than simply a project dictated from Washington. Indeed, leadership is needed from many places; it is also needed from many levels, especially sub-national actors. Across the Atlantic world, there are overlapping spheres of influence in political circles, business communities, and civil society that share a common goal of promoting human flourishing and safeguarding peoples and institutions against malign influences. This forum seeks to clarify challenges and frame the common basket of solutions that will comprise efforts to ensure a free, safe, and prosperous Atlantic World.

In addition to the annual forum, we conduct meetings throughout the year, tapping the wisdom and energy of our growing Vevey community and also promoting an active solution-oriented agenda.
