  • FIAT-Sting + Shaggy
    Contact: Diane Morgan Alyse Nagode Fiat 124 Spider Abarth Takes Starring Role Alongside Sting & Shaggy in “Gotta Get Back My Baby” Music Video November 9, 2018, Auburn Hills, Mich. - The Fiat 124 Spider Abarth takes a starring role alongside Sting & Shaggy in the official music video for their new track “Gotta Get Back My Baby,” the latest single, co-produced by Teflon (Wyclef Jean, Fat Joe, Ruff Ryders) and Martin Kierszenbaum (Sting, Mylène Farmer, Lady Gaga), off their album "44/876," which has spent 17 weeks atop the Billboard Reggae chart. The official YouTube music video, which amassed over 2.3 million views in just a few days, was filmed in the vein of ‘80s and ‘90s buddy cop television series and movies, including “Miami Vice” and “Bad Boys,” and was directed by Michael Garcia. The video pairs Sting and Shaggy as two Miami detectives who convince their captain that they’re “going to need the Spider,” meaning his prized Fiat 124 Spider Abarth, as part of their South Beach stakeout for “the most dangerous woman in the country.” What could go wrong?! The FIAT brand is also supporting the video globally across its digital and social channels, including in the U.S on Instagram,Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. “We continue to strive for the unexpected in our marketing efforts across all FCA brands and, certainly here, the FIAT brand’s fun-spirited personality gives us the opportunity to be just a little bit more adventurous and playful in our approach with our music partners," said Olivier Francois, Chief Marketing Officer and Head of the FIAT Brand, FCA.

  • National' Draft Ben Carson for President Committee
    National' Draft Ben Carson for President Committee January 22, 2014 John Philip Sousa, IV National Chairman Vernon Robinson Campaign Director E.J. Thomas Finance Director Perhaps you heard the interview of Dr. Carson on the Sean Hannity Show by guest host, Bob Just (December 27). In that interview, Ben Carson came closer than ever before to saying that he might run for President. He said, "If the circumstances were to evolve in such a way that that [running for President] seemed to be what God was calling me to do, I would certainly do it. And, I would never turn my back on my fellow citizens, if there was a hue and cry for such." Again, on January 7, 2014, in an interview by Newsmax reporter, Bill Hoffman, Dr. Carson re-affirmed that he will run if people continue to "clamor" for him to do so and if he feels that God is calling him to run for President. I feel confident that Dr. Carson will run for President if you and I make it clear to him that millions of Americans from coast to coast continue to raise a hue and cry for him to run. Dr. Carson is indeed the right person in the right place at the right time to save our nation from financial collapse, and to restore the rule of law through adherence to the Constitution of the United States of America. He will also provide much needed moral leadership for our nation. Your early support would be greatly appreciated. It was earlymoney that made the success of the Obama campaign in 2012.

Even so, I suspect that, relative to other groups, black people espouse an inordinate number of conspiracy the­ ories, most of which involve plots directed against them.2 Of course, black people bear more than their share of problems to theorize about and have more than their share of reasons to believe that their con­ spiracy theories are true. Although blacks appear to be fairly quies­ cent and uninterested in mass political protest, there is a great deal of activity at the level of social discourse in the form of antiblack con­ spiracy theorizing.

Rene Girard, The Scapegoat1 In the execution of the most ordinary penalty, in the most punc- tilious respect of legal forms, reign the active forces of revenge. Michel Foucault, Discipline and Punish2 The U.S. penitentiary is a locus of extreme violence, repression, and control. Its operations are based on a scopic system that subjects detainees to intense and constant surveillance over every inch of the body. This violence is compounded by fights, rapes, beatings, and bodily deprivations that constitute prison life and the lived experi- ences of prisoners. This volatile atmosphere is organized and struc- tured by the everyday reality of detention and other forms of “legiti- mate force,” the sanctioned violence and punishments inflicted by the state or its agents.3 Yet within the heart of such savage confines, something quite remarkable takes place. In these debilitating and dehumanizing conditions, religious conversion thrives, and for some, the prison becomes a sanctuary that houses this dramatic and some- times traumatic transformation.4 This wretched and filthy place be- ∗ Ph.D., Religious Studies, University of California-Santa Barbara, 2006; J.D. candidate, University of California-Berkeley, anticipated 2009.
