    The Green Scare: Radical environmental activism and the invention of “eco-terror- ism” in American superhero comics from 1970 to 1990 by Brendan James Lacy A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfi llment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Architecture Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2021 © Brendan James Lacy 2021 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required fi nal revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. iii Abstract American environmentalism became a recognizable social move- ment in the 1960s. In the following two decades the movement evolved to represent a diverse set of philosophies and developed new protest methods. In the early 1990s law enforcement and govern- ment offi cials in America, with support from extraction industries, created an image of the radical environmental movement as danger- ous “eco-terrorists.” Th e concept was deployed in an eff ort to de-val- ue the environmental movement’s position at a time of heightened environmental consciousness. With the concept in place members of the movement became easier to detain and the public easier to deter through political repression. Th e concept of “eco-terrorism” enters popular media relatively quickly indicated by the proliferation of superhero comics in the ear- ly 1990s that present villainous environmental activists as “eco-ter- rorists.” Th is imagery contrasts comics from 1970 which depicted superheroes as working alongside activists for the betterment of the world.

  • Michigan Opera Theatre Children's Chorus
    A new era begins. 2014 ANNUAL REPORT FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Friends of MOT, Michigan Opera Theatre is among our nation’s leading opera companies and I am delighted to be back in Detroit to work with founder and artistic director David DiChiera and a dedicated Board of Directors under the Chairmanship of R. Jamison Williams. My wife Brenda and I are appreciative to all who have extended many kindnesses to us since our arrival early in the year. One of the points of distinction of MOT in comparison with other opera companies in the nation is that our organization consists of three distinct operations: 1) Michigan Opera Theatre: the production and presentation of operas and musical theatre, along with the presentation of dance and education/community programs; 2) Detroit Opera House: the performance venue for MOT presentations and the Broadway Series of the Nederlander organization; a learning center for dance, choral, and other educational activities; and a highly sought- after venue for concerts, conferences, graduations, and other events; and 3) Opera House Parking & Retail Center. Concurrent with an exciting and vibrant range of artistic offerings this past season, members of the Board and Staff have been involved with a planning process designed to address the next phase for MOT. Since the beginning of the year, the Boston based firm TDC, one of the leading consultant agencies in the nation, has been working diligently with Michigan Opera Theatre to assist our organization with a strategic planning initiative. As part of this initiative, there have been a series of audience surveys and focus groups, and several strategic ideas have been tested.

He was succeeded by Konstantin Chernenko who died a year later in March 1985. Chernenko was succeeded by Mikhail Gorbachev. Frank von Hippel (FvH): And then we learned that Velikhov and Sagdeev were advising Gorbachev. TK: Until then you didn’t know that? FvH: We did not. We weren’t into Kremlinology and we had never heard of Gorbachev. We were brainstorming with a group of senior Soviet scientists about nuclear arms control and disarmament; we hoped they were influential but we didn’tknow. After Gorbachev took over, however, things started getting exciting. I believe the US nuclear-weapons freeze movement had an impact on Gorbachev. The Soviets had an image of the US as being run by the military- industrial complex.

  • Frank Von Hippel
    Frank von Hippel hen, at Jeremy Stone’s instigation, I was elected chair of the Federation of American Scientists in 1979, I W had no idea what an adventure that I was about to embark upon. This adventure was triggered by President Reagan taking office in 1981 and resulted in FAS making significant contributions to ending the U.S.-Soviet nuclear arms race and the Cold War. This was not the President Reagan we remember now as the partner of Mikhail Gorbachev in ending the Cold War. This was a president who had been convinced by the Committee on the Present Danger1 that the United States was falling behind in the nuclear arms race and was in mortal danger of a Soviet first nuclear strike. Reagan appointed 33 members of the Committee to high-level positions in his administration, including those of National Security Advisor, Secretary of State, Director of the CIA, and numerous senior positions in the Department of Defense. Under this leadership, the Reagan Administration proposed a U.S. nuclear buildup that would deploy almost 10,000 new ballistic missile and cruise missile nuclear warheads, accurate enough to attack Soviet ballistic missiles in their hardened silos. 1 For a history of the Committee on the Present Danger see, for example, http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Committee_on_the_Present_Danger Thus, it was clear that the Reagan Administration was responding to fears of a first strike by acquiring enhanced capabilities for a first strike against the Soviet Union.2 This move to resume the nuclear arms race was disturbing after the period of détente with the Soviet Union under Presidents Nixon and Ford, but the public image of the Soviet Union as a status quo power had already been shaken by the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979.
