Engage at the Bush Center, presented by Highland Capital Management.

May 2018 is the 15th anniversary of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), signed into law by President Bush. PEPFAR is credited with saving millions of lives and today supports more than 13.3 million people with lifesaving antiretroviral treatment. As President Bush wrote in his memoir, Decision Points, “ People who were given up for dead were restored to healthy and productive lives…Africans came up with a phrase to describe the transformation. They called it the Lazarus Effect.”

To celebrate the life-changing success of PEPFAR and other related programs made possible by the generosity of the American people, Barbara Bush, co-founder of Global Health Corps, moderates two panels on the impact and future of global health involvement. Panelists include:

- Former Rwandan Minister of Health Dr. Agnes Binagwaho
- Key architect of PEPFAR Ambassador Mark Dybul, M.D.
- Partner in Health's Dr. Paul Farmer
- Key architect of PEPFAR Dr. Anthony Fauci
- Washington Post columnist Michael Gerson
- Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina)

Q Lazzarus (born December 12, 1965) is a retired singer known for her 1988 song "Goodbye Horses". She is noted for her mysterious profile as little is known about the singer's identity or private life.[1]

“Goodbye Horses” was written by William Garvey, which was featured in the films Married to the Mob and The Silence of the Lambs, both of which were directed by Jonathan Demme.

Jonathan Demme https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Demme

Demme was born on February 22, 1944 in Baldwin, New York, the son of Dorothy Louise (née Rogers)[3] and Robert Eugene Demme, a public relations executive...

Demme won the Academy Award for The Silence of the Lambs (1991)—one of only three films to win all the major categories (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, and Best Actress).[20] Inspired by his friend Juan Suárez Botas's illness with AIDS[21] and fueled by his own moral convictions,[9] Demme then used his influence to make Philadelphia (1993),[22] one of the first major films to address the AIDS crisis[22] and which garnered star Tom Hanks his first Best Actor Oscar.[22] He also co-directed (with his nephew Ted) the music video for Bruce Springsteen's Best Song Oscar-winning "Streets of Philadelphia" from the film's soundtrack.[23] Jonathon used several of the same actors for both movies...

Political activism
Demme was involved in various political projects. In 1981, he directed a series of commercials for the liberal advocacy group People for the American Way. The spots, titled "Eggs",[37] "Music",[38][39] and "Sports",[40] were produced by Norman Lear and featured Muhammad Ali, Carol Burnett, and Goldie Hawn celebrating Freedom of Expression.[41] In 1985, he directed a video for Artists United Against Apartheid. The short, featured various international musicians including Afrika Bambaataa, Rubén Blades, Jimmy Cliff, Herbie Hancock, Little Steven, Run–D.M.C., and Bruce Springsteen, calling for a boycott of the South African luxury resort Sun City during Apartheid. His documentary Haiti Dreams of Democracy (1988) captured Haiti's era of democratic rebuilding after dictatorship, while his documentary The Agronomist (2008) profiled Haitian journalist and human rights activist Jean Dominique. Demme spent six years on the documentary I'm Carolyn Parker (2011), which highlighted rebuilding efforts in New Orleans Lower Ninth Ward after Hurricane Katrina...

In 2009, Demme signed a petition in support of film director Roman Polanski, calling for his release after Polanski was arrested in Switzerland in relation to his 1977 charge for drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl.[45]

Demme was an avid collector and devotee of Haitian art; in particular of Hector Hyppolite; so much so that he called it "an addiction". In 2014, he held an auction in Philadelphia selling thousands from his collection, much of which was donated to a cultural center in Port-au-Prince.

People for the American Way https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_fo ... erican_Way

People For the American Way, or PFAW (/'pfɑː/), is a progressive advocacy group in the United States.[4] Organized as a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization, PFAW was registered in 1981 by the television producer Norman Lear,[5] a self-described "liberal"[6] who founded the organization in 1980 to challenge the Christian right agenda of the Moral Majority...

Former presidents of PFAW include Tony Podesta[11] and Ralph Neas.

I used to have a challenge on Ruqqus. Any liberal or bluepilled redditor that called me a conspiracy theorist, I told them to name me their favorite movie or song. And in three clicks, I would either find them a jew, or some sort of pedo shit. No one ever took the challenge.

After The Silence of the Lambs, Q Lazzarus’s music made one more appearance in a Demme film, (1993’s AIDS drama Philadelphia) and then she disappeared from public life forever. https://www.dazeddigital.com/music/arti ... dies-at-61

(December 12, 1960 – July 19, 2022), known professionally as Q Lazzarus, was an American singer. ..

She graduated from Neptune High School and, inspired by a production of Bubbling Brown Sugar on Broadway, moved to New York City at age 18 to pursue a music career. She soon started working as a backup singer and jingle writer at Sigma Sound Studios ..

In the 1980s, while making music as part of her band Q Lazzarus and the Resurrection, Q Lazzarus was working as a taxi driver in New York City to make a living. The band consisted of Q Lazzarus, songwriter William Garvey, backup singer Gloriana Galicia, Janice Bernstein, and Mark Barrett. According to Galicia, by 1985, Q Lazzarus was working in Chelsea as a live-in housekeeper and au pair for an English businessman named Swan, and the band would record vocal harmonies on cassette at Swan's house; Q Lazzarus also had a number of other day jobs at the time

"..I had fled Los Angeles in almost the same manner he had fled both and NYC Los Angeles (he lasted one year and could not stand that there were no seasons, and going back to NYC under the George W. Bush administration he said everything that made NYC great was “dead dead dead”). Although he loved living in London for a time, he felt a duty to return home to take care of his mother. .."

Levine was born in Bellaire, Ohio, the son of Charlotte Virginia (Clark) and Milton Dmitri Levine,[1] who were both doctors and members of Physicians for Social Responsibility. Levine's father was of Russian-Jewish descent and his mother had Welsh and Native American ancestry.

Dr. Milton Levine, 82, a physician and social activist who devoted his life to serving the poor, from West Virginia's coal mining towns to Chicago's West Side neighborhoods, died of complications from diabetes Thursday, March 14, in Sneads Ferry, N.C.

Dr. Levine was a graduate of Johns Hopkins Medical School and served as a Navy doctor during World War II. After returning from the service, he finished his residency in internal medicine at the University of Chicago and immediately sought to help the poorest of the poor.

Dr. Levine and his wife, Charlotte, who was also a physician, set out for the coal country in Kentucky, West Virginia and southeastern Ohio.

During a time when the people of Appalachia, and especially mineworkers and their families, had little medical care, the Levines created the first not-for-profit medial care plan for the United Mine Workers in Kentucky.

In 1968, Dr. Levine and his wife were recruited to manage the new Mile Square Health Center in Chicago, an outgrowth of President Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty program and a vanguard facility for providing quality health care to the urban poor...

Dr. Levine's activism was not limited to health care, however. He and his wife regularly protested nuclear proliferation and were arrested on several occasions and labeled communist dupes for their efforts. At the height of the Cold War, they traveled to the former Soviet Union to meet with Russian physicians, with whom they signed a pact urging a step-down from the nuclear arms race.

In 1985, the Levines shared in a Nobel Peace Prize awarded to the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, a group of American and Soviet doctors..

In the late-1960s, Dr. Levine joined Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center as director of the hospital's pre-paid health care organization. The program was an early form of the HMO, and Dr. Levine had great hopes it would lower the cost of health care and increase access to doctors.

But he and his wife became disillusioned with what they saw as a more and more voracious influence of money in medicine, Eckenfels said.

In 1988, they retired to the countryside of North Carolina, where they volunteered for the Rural Health Service.

The war on poverty is the unofficial name for legislation first introduced by United States President Lyndon B. Johnson during his State of the Union address on January 8, 1964. This legislation was proposed by Johnson in response to a national poverty rate of around nineteen percent. The speech led the United States Congress to pass the Economic Opportunity Act, which established the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) to administer the local application of federal funds targeted against poverty...

As a part of the Great Society, Johnson believed in expanding the federal government's roles in education and health care as poverty reduction strategies.[2] These policies can also be seen as a continuation of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, which ran from 1933 to 1937, and Roosevelt's Four Freedoms of 1941. ..

Historian Tony Judt said in reference to the earlier proposed title of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act that "a more Orwellian title would be hard to conceive" and attributed the decline in the popularity of the Great Society as a policy to its success, as fewer people feared hunger, sickness, and ignorance. Additionally, fewer people were concerned with ensuring a minimum standard for all citizens and social liberalism.[26]

Economist Thomas Sowell also criticized the war on poverty's programs, writing "The black family, which had survived centuries of slavery and discrimination, began rapidly disintegrating in the liberal welfare state that subsidized unwed pregnancy and changed welfare from an emergency rescue to a way of life.

Others took a different tack. In 1967, in his book Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community? Martin Luther King Jr. "criticized Johnson's war on poverty for being too piecemeal", saying that programs created under the "war on poverty" such as "housing programs, job training and family counseling" all had "a fatal disadvantage [because] the programs have never proceeded on a coordinated basis...[and noted that] at no time has a total, coordinated and fully adequate program been conceived."[28] In his speech on April 4, 1967, at Riverside Church in New York, NY, King connected the war in Vietnam with the "war on poverty":

"There is at the outset a very obvious and almost facile connection between the war in Vietnam and the struggle I, and others, have been waging in America. A few years ago there was a shining moment in that struggle. It seemed as if there was a real promise of hope for the poor –both black and white – through the poverty program. There were experiments, hopes, new beginnings. Then came the buildup in Vietnam and I watched the program broken and eviscerated as if it were some idle political plaything of a society gone mad on war, and I knew that America would never invest the necessary funds or energies in rehabilitation of its poor so long as adventures like Vietnam continued to draw men and skills and money like some demonic destructive suction tube. So I was increasingly compelled to see the war as an enemy of the poor and to attack it as such. Perhaps the more tragic recognition of reality took place when it became clear to me that the war was doing far more than devastating the hopes of the poor at home"


This criticism was repeated in his speech at the same place later that month when he said that "and you may not know it, my friends, but it is estimated that we spend $500,000 to kill each enemy soldier, while we spend only fifty-three dollars for each person classified as poor, and much of that fifty-three dollars goes for salaries to people that are not poor. So I was increasingly compelled to see the war as an enemy of the poor, and attack it as such."[30] The next year, King started the Poor People's Campaign to address the shortcomings of the "war on poverty" and to "demand a check" for suffering African-Americans which was carried on briefly after his death with the construction and maintenance of an encampment, Resurrection City, for over six weeks.[31] Years later, a writer in The Nation remarked that "the war on poverty has too often been a war on the poor themselves," but that much can be done.

Minorities suffered the biggest impact, with Black Americans losing nearly three years and Hispanics, nearly two years, according to preliminary estimates.. from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Dr. Otis Brawley, a cancer specialist and public health professor at Johns Hopkins University, agreed. "Not enough use of masks, early reliance on drugs such as hydroxychloroquine, “which turned out to be worthless,” and other missteps meant many Americans died needlessly", Brawley said.

After the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, GMF was among the first U.S. organizations to establish a presence in what had been East Berlin, in 1990. It moved its Bonn operations to Berlin in 1992. In 2006, GMF acquired its current headquarters in Washington, DC, a building that until 1963 had housed the West German chancery, and that had hosted such figures as John F. Kennedy, Konrad Adenauer, Lyndon B. Johnson, and George C. Marshall. German Chancellor Angela Merkel dedicated the new building.

Ladies and gentlemen:

We have met with Mr. Miller, his Staff Director, and others associated with the Commission, and reviewed this report that is being made public today in some detail, with the entire membership of the Cabinet.
