To enumerate all those journeys would require more pages than is appropriate for an acknowledgments prelude-to say nothing of the egotism it would require. So suffice it to say here that I have changed, and that I can only take but partial credit for those changes; as such I would like to give credit where the rest of that credit is due: To my sister. Raelene Stamm, and her children, Bradley Stamm, Casey Stamm-my goddaughter-, and Lucy Stamm, who carry my Mother's Love and my Hope for a better tomorrow. To Josh Willett, who was found with me in that Lost Forest. To Chris Brown, who taught me to be Free. To Justin Johnson, who taught me to find Truth within. To Mandi Johnson, who taught me to find magick in Nature. To my cousin, Jordan Massey, who taught me the skills to write, record, and produce my independent hip-hop album John the Baptist. To Dan Krupa, who lifted me up to The Humanities. To Joe Compratt, who led me to Christ and the martial arts. To Mike Parker, who Baptized me in Christ. To Matthew Thomas and his wife Sarah, who walk with me in Christ-thank you for your financial support with my medical bills, and God Bless little Willow; may she be Light to this world of darkness. To the Eastern Illinois University Christian Campus House and everyone there who has Loved me in Christ as members of His Body. To Andrew "Ski" Szczecinski, my Brother in Christ, and the best, most open-minded training partner I've ever had in my eleven years in the martial arts. To Tony Chauncey, for his friendship and all of his wisdom as a musician, lyricist, producer, and sociopolitical activist. To Ashok Bhusal, my Brother in Brahman, who taught me to eat healthy and nourish my mind, body, and atman together as one. v vi To Colin Scholl, whose libertarian arguments helped to convert me from devout Marxism. To Dr. Michael Loudon, Dr. Jyoti Panjwani, and Dr. Danny Otto, who have always found the time to spend countless hours with me in their offices discussing history, philosophy, politics, religion, and literature. To W. Brett Anderson, Instructor of Geography at EIU, whose friendship and guidance as faculty supervisor of my independent study in cultural geography and social theory helped lay the launch pad from which I came to discover the connections between Malthusian eugenics, geopolitics, and the co-opted environmentalist movement. To my thesis committee, Dr. Letitia Moffitt, Dr. Daiva Markelis, and Dr. John Martone, for all of their help with John Savage and all of my creative fiction, non-fiction, and poetry throughout my study at EIU. To all of my peers in ENG 4763: Fiction Writing; and ENG 5020: Graduate Workshop in Creative Writing (Fiction), whose critiques and workshop contributions have helped to improve my craft as a novelist and author of fiction. To all of the English Department faculty at EIU, for all of the time and resources they have invested in me as a scholar-especially Dr. Tim Taylor, Dr. Fern Kory, Dr. Ruth Hoberman, Dr. Julie Campbell, Dr. Christopher Hanlon, Dr. Christopher Wixson, and Dr. Tim Engles. And to Alex Jones, all the Infowarriors, and everyone everywhere who exercises the courage to be ridiculed, ostracized, and even persecuted for speaking the Truth in defense of Love, Goodness, and Humanity's God-given right to Freedom. God Bless you all. VI vii Critical Preface My Masters Thesis, John Savage, is a retelling of Brave New World from the perspective of John "the Savage" -a loose retelling, much in the same way as Oh Brother Where Art Thou is a loose retelling of Homer's Odyssey-in which the historical and contemporary sociopolitical-economic derivations of the leitmotifs composing John Savage are fore grounded in contrast with Aldous Huxley's sublimation of those very same historical, sociopolitical-economic policies and events from which he derived the leitmotifs composing Brave New World. Responding to Huxley's misanthropic characterization of John "the Savage," my Masters Thesis, John Savage, is a denunciation of the implicit misanthropy in Brave New World and a revolt against it somewhat in the same way that Brave New World is a parody of "the horror of the Wellsian Utopia and a revolt against it" (qtd. in Baker 23). In particular, John Savage is a revolt against the eugenicist notion of genetic inferiority as insinuated through Huxley's portrayal of John "the Savage" as a cerebrally-challenged, superstitious, sexually-repressed, sadomasochistic primitive; likewise, the novella is also a revolt against the eugenicist belief in biological determinism through genetic inheritance. John Savage expresses its refutations of those eugenicist, biological determinist dogmas through the protagonist's-John Savage's-struggle to escape the sins of his father and break his family's generational cycle of abuse.

  • Myth, Metatext, Continuity and Cataclysm in Dc Comics’ Crisis on Infinite Earths
    WORLDS WILL LIVE, WORLDS WILL DIE: MYTH, METATEXT, CONTINUITY AND CATACLYSM IN DC COMICS’ CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Adam C. Murdough A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2006 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Marilyn Motz Jeremy Wallach ii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor In 1985-86, DC Comics launched an extensive campaign to revamp and revise its most important superhero characters for a new era. In many cases, this involved streamlining, retouching, or completely overhauling the characters’ fictional back-stories, while similarly renovating the shared fictional context in which their adventures take place, “the DC Universe.” To accomplish this act of revisionist history, DC resorted to a text-based performative gesture, Crisis on Infinite Earths. This thesis analyzes the impact of this singular text and the phenomena it inspired on the comic-book industry and the DC Comics fan community. The first chapter explains the nature and importance of the convention of “continuity” (i.e., intertextual diegetic storytelling, unfolding progressively over time) in superhero comics, identifying superhero fans’ attachment to continuity as a source of reading pleasure and cultural expressivity as the key factor informing the creation of the Crisis on Infinite Earths text. The second chapter consists of an eschatological reading of the text itself, in which it is argued that Crisis on Infinite Earths combines self-reflexive metafiction with the ideologically inflected symbolic language of apocalypse myth to provide DC Comics fans with a textual "rite of transition," to win their acceptance for DC’s mid-1980s project of self- rehistoricization and renewal.

  • Martian Crater Morphology
    ANALYSIS OF THE DEPTH-DIAMETER RELATIONSHIP OF MARTIAN CRATERS A Capstone Experience Thesis Presented by Jared Howenstine Completion Date: May 2006 Approved By: Professor M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Professor Christopher Condit, Geology Professor Judith Young, Astronomy Abstract Title: Analysis of the Depth-Diameter Relationship of Martian Craters Author: Jared Howenstine, Astronomy Approved By: Judith Young, Astronomy Approved By: M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Approved By: Christopher Condit, Geology CE Type: Departmental Honors Project Using a gridded version of maritan topography with the computer program Gridview, this project studied the depth-diameter relationship of martian impact craters. The work encompasses 361 profiles of impacts with diameters larger than 15 kilometers and is a continuation of work that was started at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas under the guidance of Dr. Walter S. Keifer. Using the most ‘pristine,’ or deepest craters in the data a depth-diameter relationship was determined: d = 0.610D 0.327 , where d is the depth of the crater and D is the diameter of the crater, both in kilometers. This relationship can then be used to estimate the theoretical depth of any impact radius, and therefore can be used to estimate the pristine shape of the crater. With a depth-diameter ratio for a particular crater, the measured depth can then be compared to this theoretical value and an estimate of the amount of material within the crater, or fill, can then be calculated. The data includes 140 named impact craters, 3 basins, and 218 other impacts. The named data encompasses all named impact structures of greater than 100 kilometers in diameter.

  • 18 August 2020
    18 August 2020 TRENDS ON THE ECONOMIC FRONT U.S. MARKETS FRONT Today, marking its fastest recovery in history, the S&P 500 broke above its all- time high that was set in February before government lockdowns sent the broader market index tumbling. The NASDAQ also hit a record high today, but the Dow was down 66 points. As we have continually noted, there is no relationship between Wall Street and Main Street. The hard data and financial facts prove the Federal Reserve and Washington have injected scores of trillions into Wall Street to keep the money junkies high. In this week’s column by Gregory Mannarino, “FINANCIAL FRANKENSTEIN 2020,” he says, “Global stock markets, none more so than the U.S. market, are in a ‘Maximum Distortion’ phase. The Maximum Distortion phase can exist for a 1 long period of time, but the longer the phase lasts, the more profound the next phase will be: Total Meltdown.” Considering the Fed and D.C. Gangs have invented money pumping schemes undreamed of, there is no way to accurately forecast the time and date – as Gerald Celente had with the 1987 Stock Market Crash, the Dot-Com Bust, and the Panic of ’08 – of the upcoming “Total Meltdown.” To clearly illustrate the disparity between Wall Street and Main Street, this was the feature front page headline in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal: “Cyclical Stocks are Leading Latest Leg of Market Recovery.” Turn to Page 3 and read the headline: “More People Go Hungry and Seek Food Aid as Recession Takes Toll.” The story notes some 20 percent of Americans with children at home don’t have enough money to buy enough food.
