In the spring of 2016 Chapter XVI will see a change in leadership, Message from the President: Dave Shell which I view posively and as a move in the right direcon.

During my tenure I have enjoyed Upcoming Events: Paul Bagshaw just this kind of support from former Chapter Presidents Bill Gates and Ron Calendar: Dave Shell Rismon. This was aer many years of Ron holding up the Chapter almost Human Interest Story: Chapter at large singlehandedly, and a near miss with regard to the collapse of the Chapter SFA Naonal HQ Update: Dave Shell as a whole due to lack of support. The first meeng I convened as President in June of 2010 there was a total of twelve in a endance, four of Aer Acon Report: Jim Lessler whom were wives. We badly needed depth, which I recognized as the key Membership Info: Roy Sayer to geng more members to volunteer for leadership roles. When I first Adversements: Glen Craig stepped up six years ago, Bill Gates told me that although the term was for Suspense: two years I was expected to serve four. This was a bit daunng and is a Newsleer published (Web): 1st of each major reason why most members don’t want to run for office. In fact, I was shanghaied by Bill who convinced me to run by telling me that Jim odd numbered month Lessler was actually slated to succeed him and they just wanted someone Input due to editor: 20th of each else’s name on the ballot to make it appear like more of a contest. Shortly even numbered month before the vote, Jim had a significant health issue and I was le holding the Dra due to President: 27th of each bag.

The next Chapter President will inherit a top notch staff that includes the Chapter Newsleer editor Glen Craig, The Drop submission editor Bill Gates, Regimental Mess manager Kevin Paon, Chapter Distribuon and webpage manager Dave Shell, and other funconaries that are involved with things such as fundraising. I have always maintained that if we all do just a lile we will accomplish more, and avoid the piall of feeling trapped in a system that bleeds every person who raises his/her hand to point where they stop parcipang altogether as the only means of escape. I am confident that we are beyond this percepon and I look forward to many more years of service to the SF community through the SFA. We fill an important void within SF that only a non‐profit, led by exceponal members of the regiment, can properly impact. The elecon for Chapter XVI Officers will be held at the Chapter meeng in April. Please consider adding your name to the list of those who feel that connued service to the regiment and to those Soldiers who give and have given in the name of duty and honor is worthy of their me and talents. De Oppresso Liber, Dave Page 1 Pastor Butch’s Corner I am reminded of the story of a lady taking an aernoon nap before the fesvies. Aer she woke she confided to her husband, “Honey, I just dreamed that you gave me a Diamond Ring as a New Year’s present. What do you think it means?” “Aha, sweee, you’ll know tonight.” He answered, smiling like the cat that ate the canary. At midnight as the New Year came into being, the husband approached his wife and handed her a small package. Delighted and excited, she quickly opened it. There in her hands rested a book entled: The Meaning of Dreams. I cannot predict the future, but I can wish for us a very blessed 2016 and may SFA, Chapter XVI and our events of 2016 bring us GOD’s Peace, Love and Joy as we look forward to another year of serving with you all. Happy New Year and GOD’s unending blessings.

Negro Mountain JW Kent November 9 at 8:35am · If you drive west on Interstate 68 from Cumberland Maryland, you will cross over several tall, steep ridges. These ridges were formed by the Alleghenian Orogeny during the late Permian Period, when the African connent slammed into what is now North America. On the summit of one of these ridges there is a sign that has sparked a good deal of controversy. “Negro Mountain,” the sign reads. Not too long ago a white polician aempted to change the name of Negro Mountain because the name was “embarrassing and offensive.” He may well have succeeded if not for the efforts of a group of African American historians, who raised an outcry of “Don’t you dare!” Good for them. The mountain was named by Thomas Cresap, circa 1756. Cresap was an early seler, who built a fort, and trading post on what was then the western froner of Maryland. You probably won’t see his name in a school textbook, because someone famous didn’t write a silly poem about him. Cresap did a lot of trading with the Nave Americans that frequented the area, and they referred to his trading post as “The big spoon,” because he was famed for feeding any and all who came. He was even invited to the council fires of one tribe, an honor seldom bestowed. When the Seven Years War broke out, the French came up with a strategy to pull Brish resources away from the “real” fighng, by sending Indian mercenaries to aack the western selements. Before you go all polically correct on me, I must say that if a group has to travel for hundreds of miles to torture, murder, burn and butcher innocent civilians that are no threat to them, and do so under the payroll of another European power, they are not “defending their homeland,” they are simply acng as mercenaries. This war of terror did not have the desired effect, because the Brish sent precious lile help to the froner. Sure, they sent a few token Provincial troops, but for the most part, the selers were le to defend themselves. Thomas Cresap was given the rank of Colonel, and in 1756 raised a group of forty Rangers. The colonial Rangers were the elite of the milia. The best of the best. They did not fight “in line” like regular troops, they used guerrilla taccs, and were commonly deployed as scouts. Rangers, unlike regular troops, had to be able to think and act independently, so only the most intelligent and skilled of men were allowed to volunteer. One of Cresap’s forty Rangers was a freed African slave. Yes, one of the “best of the best” was black. This may sound surprising, but it shouldn’t. The early selers were a diverse bunch. Sure, many like Cresap, were English, but most of them were Germans, Dutch, Swiss, Welch, French Huguenots, Irish, and Scots.

  • Reclaiming the Streets: Black Urban Insurgency and Antisocial Security
    Reclaiming the streets Black urban insurgency and antisocial security in twenty-fi rst-century Philadelphia Jeff Maskovsky Abstract: Th is article focuses on the emergence of a new pattern of black urban insurgency emerging in major US metropolitan areas such as Philadelphia. I lo- cate this pattern in the context of a new securitization regime that I call “antiso- cial security.” Th is regime works by establishing a decentered system of high-tech forms of surveillance and monitory techniques. I highlight the dialectic between the extension of antisocial security apparatuses and techniques into new political and social domains on the one hand and the adoption of these same techniques by those contesting racialized exclusions from urban public space on the other. I end the article with a discussion of how we might adapt the commons concept to consider the centrality of race and racism to this new securitization regime. Keywords: commoning, inner city, race, securitization, United States, urban politics In Philadelphia, on 10 April 2013, dozens of Af- broadcast sensationalized reports about “crazed rican American youth converged in what mu- teens,” “mob violence,” and “youth rioting.” nicipal authorities described as a “fl ash mob” at In 2011, Philadelphia mayor Michael Nutter the heart of the city’s central business district.

    LEBANESE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY The Syrian Conflict: Through the Lens of Realpolitik By Alexander Ortiz A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Arts in International Affairs School of Arts and Sciences January 2014 To loved ones v Acknowledgments To Professors Salamey, Skulte-Ouasis, and Baroudi. Thank You for everything. Your guidance and help over the length of the program has been much appreciated. To Professor Rowayheb, thank you for being on my thesis board. vi The Syrian Conflict: Through the Lens of Realpolitik Alexander Ortiz Abstract This thesis examines power relations in the security vacuum created by the Syrian conflict. The conflicting nature of Syrian domestic politics has created a political stalemate that needs outside support to be resolved. Inaction on the part of the greater international community has allowed for regional powers to become highly entrenched in the conflict. Regional involvement and the demographics of Syrian parties have been used by popular mediums to describe the conflict as sectarian by nature. The central point of this thesis is to show that the veneer of sectarianism by all parties, both Syrian and regional, is primarily a by-product of competitive self-interest. This is done by showing that the relationships made between Syrian groups and their patrons are based on self-interest and the utility provided in these temporary unions. The seminal political theories of Locke and Hobbes concerning the foundations of political power show the Syrian groups to be acting upon political necessity, not sect. The ambitions of regional powers are analyzed through realist theory to explain power relations in an unregulated political environment both in Syria and in the region.

Gerges Department of International Relations London School of Economics London, UK Nader Hashemi Center for Middle East Studies Josef Korbel School of International Studies University of Denver Denver, CO, USA The Iranian Revolution of 1979, the Iran-Iraq War, the Gulf War, and the US invasion and occupation of Iraq have dramatically altered the ­geopolitical landscape of the contemporary Middle East. The Arab Spring uprisings have complicated this picture. This series puts forward a critical body of first-rate scholarship that reflects the current political and social realities of the region, focusing on original research about contentious politics and social movements; political institutions; the role played by non-­governmental organizations such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Muslim Brotherhood; and the Israeli-Palestine conflict. Other themes of interest include Iran and Turkey as emerging pre-eminent powers in the region, the former an ‘Islamic Republic’ and the latter an emerging democracy currently governed by a party with Islamic roots; the Gulf monarchies, their petrol economies and regional ambitions; potential problems of nuclear proliferation in the region; and the challenges ­confronting the United States, Europe, and the United Nations in the greater Middle East.

    “Harvesting Thorns”: Comedy as Political Theatre in Syria and Lebanon by Aksam Alyousef A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Drama University of Alberta © Aksam Alyousef, 2020 ii ABSTRACT At the end of the 1960s and the beginning of the 70s, political comedy grew exponentially in Syria and Lebanon. This phenomenon was represented mainly in the Tishreen Troupe ,(مسرح الشوك performances of three troupes: Thorns Theatre (Al-Shuk Theatre مسرح and Ziyad Al-Rahbani Theatre (Masrah Ziyad Al-Rahbani ,(فرقة تشرين Ferqet Tishreen) These works met with great success throughout the Arab world due to the audacity .(زياد الرحباني of the themes explored and their reliance on the familiar traditions of Arab popular theatre. Success was also due to the spirit of the first Arab experimental theatre established by pioneers like Maroun Al-Naqqash (1817-1855) and Abu Khalil Al-Qabbani (1835-1902), who in the second half of the nineteenth century mixed comedy, music, songs and dance as a way to introduce theatre performance to a culture unaccustomed to it. However, this theatre started to lose its luster in the early 1990s, due to a combination of political and cultural factors that will be examined in this essay. iii This thesis depends on historical research methodology to reveal the political, social and cultural conditions that led to the emergence and development (and subsequent retreat) of political theatre in the Arab world. My aim is to, first, enrich the Arab library with research material about this theatre which lacks significant critical attention; and second to add new material to the Western Library, which is largely lacking in research about modern and contemporary Arab theatre and culture.
