    HOLLYWOOD'S WAR ON THE WORLD: THE NEW WORLD ORDER AS MOVIE Scott Forsyth Introduction 'Time itself has got to wait on the greatest country in the whole of God's universe. We shall be giving the word for everything: industry, trade, law, journalism, art, politics and religion, from Cape Horn clear over to Smith's Sound and beyond too, if anything worth taking hold of turns up at the North Pole. And then we shall have the leisure to take in the outlying islands and continents of the earth. We shall run the world's business whether the world likes it or not. The world can't help it - and neither can we, I guess.' Holroyd, the American industrialist in Joseph Conrad, Nostromo, 1904. 'Talk to me, General Schwartzkopf, tell me all about it.' Madonna, singing 'Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend,' Academy Awards Show, 1991. There is chilling continuity in the culture of imperialism, just as there is in the lists of its massacres, its gross exploitations. It is there in the rhetoric of its apologists - from Manifest Destiny to Pax Britannica to the American Century and now the New World Order: global conquest and homogenisa- tion, epochal teleologies of the most 'inevitable' and determinist nature imaginable, the increasingly explicit authoritarianism of political dis- course, the tension between 'ultra-imperialism' and nationalism, both of the conquerors and the conquered. In this discussion, I would like to consider recent American films of the Reagan-Bush period which take imperialism as their narrative material - that is, America's place in the global system, its relations with diverse peoples and political forces, the kind of America and the kind of world which are at stake.

  • Curing the Tribal Disenrollment Epidemic: in Search of a Remedy
    CURING THE TRIBAL DISENROLLMENT EPIDEMIC: IN SEARCH OF A REMEDY Gabriel S. Galanda and Ryan D. Dreveskracht* This Article provides a comprehensive analysis of tribal membership, and the divestment thereof—commonly known as “disenrollment.” Chiefly caused by the proliferation of Indian gaming revenue distributions to tribal members over the last 25 years, the rate of tribal disenrollment has spiked to epidemic proportions. There is not an adequate remedy to stem the crisis or redress related Indian civil rights violations. This Article attempts to fill that gap. In Part I, we detail the origins of tribal membership, concluding that the present practice of disenrollment is, for the most part, a relic of the federal government’s Indian assimilation and termination policies of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In Part II, we use empirical disenrollment case studies over the last 100 years to show those federal policies at work during that span, and thus how disenrollment operates in ways that are antithetical to tribal sovereignty and self-determination. Those case studies highlight the close correlation between federally prescribed distributions of tribal governmental assets and monies to tribal members on a per-capita basis, and tribal governmental mass disenrollment of tribal members. In Part III, we set forth various proposed solutions to curing the tribal disenrollment epidemic, in hope of spurring discussion and policymaking about potential remedies at the various levels of federal and tribal government. Our goal is to find a cure, before it is too late. TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION ..................................................................................................... 385 A.

    DATE: September 29, 2020 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AMPLIFIER AND J. PAUL GETTY MUSEUM PARTNER TO INSPIRE TEENS NATIONWIDE THROUGH ‘IN PURSUIT OF___’ OPEN CALL FOR PHOTOGRAPHY LOS ANGELES - The J. Paul Getty Museum and nonprofit design lab Amplifier are issuing a joint open call for art from students ages 13-19 around the theme of “In Pursuit of__.” Amplifier is best known for the record-breaking 2017 “We The People” public art campaign with Shepard Fairey. “In Pursuit of__” is the 2020 theme of the Getty’s award-winning Unshuttered photography program, which is a platform and community for teens to share their passion for photography and social justice advocacy. “In Pursuit of ______” is inspired by the phrase “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” from the Declaration of Independence, and expands on the fundamental concepts of that historic document. The top 10 art submissions will be included in an exciting Amplifier projection series in cities nationwide and distributed via the Getty Museum’s social media and education, digital, and exhibition platforms. The prompt is an invitation to consider, inspire, and share. It listens and suggests action. It encourages teens to reflect on their own lives, consider the state of the world, and inspire others through their unique artistic expressions. “Getty Unshuttered is a photographic community where everyone can use art to become a force to be reckoned with. No one is better at signaling powerful artistic messages than Amplifier through their signature global campaigns,” said Keishia Gu,

  • 'Dogs Rule Nonchalantly' in Artist Mark Ulriksen's World
    WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2015 Datebook, Art & Galleries By Rachel Howard ‘Dogs Rule Nonchalantly’ in artist Mark Ulriksen’s World On a recent weekday morning, Mark Ulriksen, the New Yorker cover illustrator, stood in the front hall of his Cole Valley home, waiting for his 12-year-old chocolate Labrador, Henry, to cease barking at passersby. Then he pointed to a painting on the wall. “That was the epiphany,” Ulriksen said, raising a thick eyebrow at two characters with blocky hair, skewed eyes and curiously familiar, penetrating gazes. When Ulriksen painted them, more than 20 years ago, an art director had just informed him that his previous characters, drawn from his head, were “too ugly” for publication. Ulriken’s breakthrough: “Use photo reference. And don’t worry if it matches up perfectly.” An uninformed viewer probably wouldn’t recognize the faces in “The Couple” as belonging to Liz Taylor and Franz Kafka, but many San Franciscans would instantly recognize the whimsical, weirdly intelligent style as belonging to Ulriksen, who in his 48 New Yorker covers to date has proved uncannily skilled at suggesting a subject’s wily inner life. He captured Hillary Rodham Clinton — with the White Painter(Mark(Ulriksen(shows(some(of(his(work(at(home( House smashing down on her head — in his first New Yorker in(San(Francisco,(Calif.,(on(Wednesday,(February(11,( 2015.( cover, in 1994. He’s depicted Derek Jeter and William ( Shakespeare and perhaps most memorably, in a spoof on “Brokeback Mountain,” Dick Cheney blowing smoke from the muzzle of a shotgun. But in this age of Internet animal addiction, much of Ulriksen’s best- known work is of man’s best friend, and his tail-thumping buddy Henry graces the cover of his first book, “Dogs Rule Nonchalantly” (Goff Books).

Knoblauch March 2012 © 2012 William M. Knoblauch. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Selling the Second Cold War: Antinuclear Cultural Activism and Reagan Era Foreign Policy by WILLIAM M. KNOBLAUCH has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by __________________________________ Chester J. Pach Associate Professor of History __________________________________ Howard Dewald Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT KNOBLAUCH, WILLIAM M., Ph.D., March 2012, History Selling the Second Cold War: Antinuclear Cultural Activism and Reagan Era Foreign Policy Director of Dissertation: Chester J. Pach This dissertation examines how 1980s antinuclear activists utilized popular culture to criticize the Reagan administration’s arms buildup. The 1970s and the era of détente marked a decade-long nadir for American antinuclear activism. Ronald Reagan’s rise to the presidency in 1981 helped to usher in the “Second Cold War,” a period of reignited Cold War animosities that rekindled atomic anxiety. As the arms race escalated, antinuclear activism surged. Alongside grassroots movements, such as the nuclear freeze campaign, a unique group of antinuclear activists—including publishers, authors, directors, musicians, scientists, and celebrities—challenged Reagan’s military buildup in American mass media and popular culture. These activists included Fate of the Earth author Jonathan Schell, Day After director Nicholas Meyer, and “nuclear winter” scientific-spokesperson Carl Sagan.

  • 2021 Commencement Program
    Colorado Christian University Commencement Saturday, May 8, 2021 Greetings from the President May 8, 2021 Dear CCU Graduates, Congratulations! Today we are celebrating one of the most significant achievements of your life — graduation from Colorado Christian University. You’ve studied hard and God has blessed your efforts. This is a very, very important milestone for you and your family. On behalf of the trustees, faculty, and staff of CCU, I want to express our admiration for all you have achieved. We are honored to have been a part of your experience at CCU and we wish God’s richest blessings for you in the future. We look forward with enthusiasm to hearing of your future achievements. Before you go, let me offer a few words of parting advice: • Take some time right now to think about how you want to invest the next five to ten years of your life. Don’t drift. Prayerfully, set specific goals. It’s been said that if you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time. • Be a servant with what you know. Knowledge and degrees can make you proud — don’t let them. Instead, be thankful for the opportunity you’ve had and use it to serve others. • Keep learning. As Mark Twain said, “Most men die at 27, we just bury them at 72.” Don’t let your education stop with your graduation today. Remember — leaders are readers. • Strive for excellence in everything you do. Work hard, give back, choose your friends wisely, and stay close to your family forever. • Most importantly, love and honor Jesus Christ and walk as closely with Him as you can.
