  • Enemies Within: the Conspiracy Culture of Modern America
    THE JOHN O’SULLIVAN MEMORIAL LECTURE SERIES Enemies Within: The Conspiracy Culture of Modern America Robert A. Goldberg University of Utah About the John O’Sullivan Memorial Lecture In the spring of 2004, a group of senior citizen students at Florida Atlantic University paid tribute to John O’Sullivan, a beloved professor of history who died in 2000, by establishing a Memorial Fund to support an annual lecture in his honor. In keeping with John’s commitment to teaching, research, and community outreach, the mission of the John O’Sullivan Memorial Lectureship is to broaden and deepen public understanding of modern U.S. history. The Memorial Fund — which is administered by the Department of History — sponsors public lectures and classroom seminars by some of the most distinguished scholars and gifted teachers of American history. The lectures typically focus on topics relevant to Professor O’Sullivan’s specialties in 20th Century U.S. history, including: World War II, the Vietnam War, the nuclear age, the Holocaust, peace history, political and diplomatic affairs, and other topics. JOHN O’SULLIVAN MEMORIAL LECTURE Enemies Within: The Conspiracy Culture of Modern America By Robert A. Goldberg University of Utah Department of History Florida Atlantic University 2010 ENEMIES WITHIN: THE CONSPIRACY CULTURE OF MODERN AMERICA I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT CONSPIRACY THINKING in recent American history; to talk about the who, how, and why of conspiracism. Particularly, I would like to spotlight the conspiracy theories that have emerged in the wake of the tragedy of 9-11. Befitting this lecture series, it speaks to a topic vital to an understanding of our society and to the health of our American Republic.

  • On Gene Sharp, Non-Violent Struggle, and Power: What Do Murray Rothbard and Hugo Chavez Have in Common?
    Hacettepe University Graduate School of Social Sciences Department of International Relations Peace And Conflict Studies Master‘s Programme ON GENE SHARP, NON-VIOLENT STRUGGLE, AND POWER: WHAT DO MURRAY ROTHBARD AND HUGO CHAVEZ HAVE IN COMMON? Nathan Lewis Lawrence Master‘s Thesis Ankara, 2014 ON GENE SHARP, NON-VIOLENT STRUGGLE, AND POWER: WHAT DO MURRAY ROTHBARD AND HUGO CHAVEZ HAVE IN COMMON? Nathan Lewis Lawrence Hacettepe University Graduate School of Social Sciences Department of International Relations Peace And Conflict Studies Master‘s Programme Master‘s Thesis Ankara, 2014 iii ABSTRACT LAWRENCE, Nathan. On the Mythologies and Ethics of Non-violence: What Do Murray Rothbard and Hugo Chavez Have in Common? Master‘s Thesis, Ankara, 2014. This thesis analyzes the relationship between political ideology, power, and non-violent struggle as portrayed by the American thinker Gene Sharp. The means of this analysis is a comparison and contrast between libertarian and socialist critiques of his work for the purpose of discovering reoccurring themes. More specifically, it compares an anarcho-libertarian dialogue from the early 1980s to socialist literature in the late 2000s. It‘s concludes that the fault line in both conversations is the tension between Leninist strategic theory and the Progressive Substitutionary theory of non-violence. Key Words: Non-violence, Gene Sharp, libertarianism, Murray Rothbard, Hugo Chavez, Leftism, anarchism, anarcho-capitalism, Carl Watner, Leninism, Thierry Meyssan, and Progressive Substitution. iv TABLE

  • No Planes on 9/11 – Exposing the Illusion
    No Planes on 9/11 – Exposing the Illusion Essays Edited by Ronald Bleier July 2019 Table of Contents 1. Introduction 2. “Robert Fisk on 9/11 Truth: Good Beginning, Bob,” by Carl Lesnor (2007) Editor’s Note: I give this article by my late friend, Carl Lesnor, pride of place because his lucid,incisive (not-to-say enviable), prosemakes for bracing reading as well as it aptly serves to begin the discussion. Among much else, Carl reminds us of that brief period, ending perhaps in 2007 or 2008 when left spokespeople like Robert Fisk, Alexander Cockburn, Tariq Ali,and others, contended with 9/11 truth activists – -Fisk calls them “ravers” (as in stark, raving, mad). For this period, ravers persisted in expressing their unhappiness with the refusal or the inability of these luminaries to address the glaring evidence that 9/11 was an inside job. 3. “WTC Building 7, the Smoking Gun?,” by Ronald Bleier (2005) Editor’s Note: The first book I read that debunked the official account of 9/11 was Eric Hufschmid’s Painful Questions; An Analysis of the September 11th Attack (2002), still a book well worth reading, Hufschmid was skeptical about hijackers, although at that early date he believed that planes actually crashed into the WTC. He speculates (incorrectly) that the planes must have been remotely controlled. This 2,000 word article is largely based on his research. 4. “9/11, An Inside Job? A Review Essay Based on David Ray Griffin’s Research,” by Ronald Bleier (2005) Editor’s Note: This essay was originally conceived as the first of two parts.
