tributed to the erosion of the industrial base. Low war reserve
stockpiles, foreign industrial dependence, loss of industrial
surge potential, and a lack of leadership and focus within our

areas of concern associated with our industrial base malaise.

Social Policy interviewee Hardy Merriman recently became the Director of Programs and Research at ICNC, coming fresh from a three year stint at the Albert Einstein Institution (AEI), a group at which Dr Ackerman was a former director. [12] Merriman’s former employer, the AEI, openly acknowledges the financial support they have received from the NED, USIP, and the International Republican Institute, and works closely with the ICNC providing the theoretical underpinnings for the ‘democracy promoting’ establishment’s work, helping them provide training courses all over the world for activists seeking to overthrow their governments. [13] Finally, Merriman’s predecessor at ICNC, Kim Hedge, has now joined Freedom House – the grandfather of neoconservative ‘democracy promoting’ organizations – as their Program Coordinator for the Civil Mobilization Program.
