Border EconomicsTournament: Iowa Nationals | Round: 3 | Opponent: Niles West BB | Judge: Border infrastructure improvements are steeped in neoliberalism – even though the aff presents itself as an increase in mobility, the plan does little more than build fences and solidify the frontierDevadas and Mummery ’8 The impact is extinction – neoliberalism reduces existence itself to property to be exchanged, producing a drive to a single way of knowing and being – that causes massive structural violence and environmental destructionLANDER ’2, Just as resources formerly considered to be commons, or of communal use, were The alternative is to vote negative to reject neoliberal knowledge production and endorse globalization from below. Refusing neoliberalism’s hegemonic control over knowledge production is essential within the space of this debate – the alternative aligns the ballot with Latin American resistance movementsCHOI ET AL 4 Many critics have begun to wonder why hamburgers and jeans can be globalized, but | 4/6/14 |
CP vs GBN CRTournament: Iowa Nationals | Round: 5 | Opponent: GBN CR | Judge: Kai Yan 1NC CPThe United States federal government should:- announce that domestic renewable energy subsidies constitute prohibited World Trade Organization subsidies and end said subsidies,- cooperate with Mexico over geothermal, wind, and solar energy integration and development,The first plank solves trade cred – 1AC authorBEETZ 2012 (Becky, "China retaliates, finds US in violation of free-trade rules", May 25, 2012, http://www.pv-magazine.com/news/details/beitrag/china-retaliates—finds-us-in-violation-of-free-trade-rules_100006951/~23ixzz2jHsf1LAx-http://www.pv-magazine.com/news/details/beitrag/china-retaliates~-~-finds-us-in-violation-of-free-trade-rules_100006951/**)** We’re going to reread the 1AC internal link as a solvency advocate for geothermal, wind, and solar energy – because that’s what the card actually says – that solves relations and the Mexican economyDONNELLY 2010 (Robert Donnelly, Program associate with the Mexico Institute at the Woodrow Wilson Center., June 28 2010, U.S.-Mexico Cooperation on Renewable Energy: Building a Green Agenda) | 4/7/14 |
Cellulose DATournament: Iowa Nationals | Round: 5 | Opponent: GBN CR | Judge: Kai Yan Biofuel trade with Mexico results in cellulosic ethanol funding – also causes US shift to cellulose because of land surpluses – 1AC authorMcDonald, 12 (Jeffrey E.

"Should" means the debate is solely about a policy established by governmental meansEricson ’3 C. Pragmatic Political Engagement – A focus on policy is necessary to learn the pragmatic details of powerful institutions – acting without this is a form of spectatorship that makes it impossible to actually reform institutions later in life- our framework is key to access activismMcClean ’1 D. Dialogue – a FOCUSED, predetermined game space is critical to effective debate- Debate’s vital to controlled, informed dialogue – Flag this – Dialogue should be an end in and of itselfHanghøj ’8 E. No offense – switch side solves all of the reasons why critical pedagogy is good, but their lack of stasis and adherence to the resolution destroys Switch side debate – that’s key to prevent authoritarian discourse and dogmatismHanghoj 8 Thorkild Hanghøj, Copenhagen, 2008 Since this PhD project began in 2004, the present author has been affiliated with DREAM (Danish Research Centre on Education and Advanced Media Materials), which is located at the Institute of Literature, Media and Cultural Studies at the University of Southern Denmark.

High Food Prices DATournament: Iowa Nationals | Round: 5 | Opponent: GBN CR | Judge: Kai Yan High grain prices key to Russian growthAP NEWSWIRE 9-10-2008 (www.newsday.com/business/investing/wire/sns-ap-russian-breadbasket,0,5647019.story) Nuclear warFILGER 2009 (Sheldon, author and blogger for the Huffington Post, "Russian Economy Faces Disastrous Free Fall Contraction" http://www.globaleconomiccrisis.com/blog/archives/356) | 4/7/14 |

We’ll clarify.Solves the affCAGTC ’13 The plan and the permutation require compliance with executive order 12114 – the counterplan would not because it doesn’t fund the plan through the North American Development BankOlivas et al ’12 | 4/6/14 |
Object of OthernessTournament: Iowa Nationals | Round: 1 | Opponent: Minneapolis South | Judge: Bancoft, Kevin 1NCThe 1AC is hostage-taking - It is only the attempt to know the other from the self that creates a dualism and the condition for oppression.BAUDRILLARD 1993 - Transparency of Evil, pg. 127-129 This allows them to put the lives they attempt to save up for hostage, operating through a process of emotional blackmail that ultimately loses the other in simulation, an abolishment worse than death.BAUDRILLARD 1992 - The Illusion of the End Voting neg on this argument constitutes a refusal of the demand of constituting ourselves as subjects of the political. When the masses do nothing, we can be liberated. | 4/5/14 |
Patent ReformTournament: Iowa Nationals | Round: 3 | Opponent: Niles West BB | Judge: Patent reforms will pass the Senate – momentum from the House and Obama’s pushing – that stops the patent trollsCrouch 4-1 The plan ensures GOP backlash over spending, and assumes their link turnsIrwin 13 — Neil Irwin, Washington Post columnist and the economics editor of Wonkblog, The Post’s site for policy news and analysis (Neil Irwin, Washington Post: Wonkblog, 02-11-2013, "Is Congress really going to miss its free lunch on infrastructure?", http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/02/11/is-congress-really-going-to-miss-its-free-lunch-on-infrastructure/-http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/02/11/is-congress-really-going-to-miss-its-free-lunch-on-infrastructure/, Accessed 08-01-2013) Obama’s PC and focus is crucial to reform passage – only a credible Obama push will succeedMeyers 3-5 Patent reform is key to innovation and the economy – this evidence is reverse causal-Also a PC key warrant Nuclear warRoyal 10 | 4/6/14 |
Plan FlawTournament: Iowa Nationals | Round: 5 | Opponent: GBN CR | Judge: Kai Yan The plan text is incoherent –it says "the USFG should offer Mexico to facilitate" with the verb "offer", the indirect object cannot be introduced before an infinitive Even if they include the phrase "TO Mexico", instead of just "Mexico", it’s still incoherent—the sentence doesn’t have a direct object—ask yourself—WHAT DO THEY OFFER TO MEXICO?Vote neg – debate is an academic activity – grammatical correctness should be a-priori otherwise it ruins effective communication At best, vote neg on presumption – the aff doesn’t actually do anything | 4/7/14 |
Subsidy Link TurnTournament: Iowa Nationals | Round: 5 | Opponent: GBN CR | Judge: Kai Yan The Aff is a subsidy that violates the WTO agreement – the phrase "non-corn biofuels" is explicitly limiting, and the aff is geographically designated – this is the agreement they citeWTO No Date – World Trade Organization, The ~"URUGUAY ROUND AGREEMENT¶ Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures¶ (Article 1 — 9)" http://www.wto.org/english/docs_e/legal_e/24-scm_01_e.htm-http://www.wto.org/english/docs_e/legal_e/24-scm_01_e.htm~~ | 4/7/14 |
