[Peace-discuss] on the debate over the DSA et al Socialism conference & US foreign policy

[David Green]

Just in case there's any confusion on anyone's part, the *Atlantic **Council
*(est. 1961) is an influential and venerable establishment foreign policy
think tank that is basically neoconservative but tries to pretend it's not
in its academic and technical approaches to various regions, countries, and
issues. Along with the Council on Foreign Relations and Washington
Institute for Near East Policy (AIPAC think tank) it is probably one of the
three most influential FP think tanks.

*The **Atlantic *(formerly the *Atlantic Monthly*) is a venerable (1857)
liberal establishment monthly journal now edited by neocon/Zionist/former
Israeli prison guard Jeffrey Goldberg, who has established it as a refuge
for neocon NeverTrumpers like David ("axis of evil") Frum, while
maintaining upper-middle brow journalistic and literary standards,
analogous perhaps to PBS/NPR.
