As we will show, these two seemingly unrelated upheavals are very closely tied together, and are but the latest and most profound manifesta- tions of a global revolutionary transfor- mation that has been under way for many years. Both of these revolutions are being stoked and orchestrated by elitist forces that intend to unmake the United States of America and extinguish liberty as we know it everywhere. In his famous “Lectures on the French Revolution,” delivered at Cambridge University between 1895 and 1899, the distinguished British historian and states- man John Emerich Dalberg, more com- monly known as Lord Acton, noted: “The appalling thing in the French Revolution is not the tumult, but the design.

  • CHAPTER 8 FLORIDA Florida First Emerged on the Presidential
    CHAPTER 8 FLORIDA Florida first emerged on the presidential primary scene in 1988, when it was one of the southern states that participated in the first-ever Super Tuesday. Four years later, in 1992, Florida was propelled to the front rank of important primary states when the news media selected it for the final showdown between Governor Bill Clinton of Arkansas and former- U.S. Senator Paul Tsongas of Massachusetts. In the 1992 race for the Democratic nomination for president, Paul Tsongas got off to a fast start by winning the New Hampshire primary. Tsongas next won the Maryland primary, but that same day Bill Clinton swept to victory in the southern state of Georgia. The two candidates thus were running neck and neck when they faced off against one another in Florida on the second Tuesday in March. Although located in the South and one of the states that seceded from the Union during the American Civil War, Florida is not considered a typical southern state by voting-behavior analysts. The major reason for this is the large number of former northern voters who have moved to South Florida, either to retire or to enjoy the outdoor lifestyle of one of the fastest-growing states in the nation. These former northerners were viewed as ripe targets for the Paul Tsongas campaign. His heavy Massachusetts accent would not sound quite so strange to them, and his New Hampshire and Maryland primary victories already had demonstrated his strong appeal to people from the northern part of the nation. Furthermore, in the 1988 presidential elec- tion, Florida had voted for Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, like Tsongas a Greek from Massachusetts.

This shot from Avant Ie deluge, written and co-directed by Charles Spaak, bespeaks the thesis, with all its attendant over­ simplifications, of one of the most provocative screen writers working today-namely, that we are all assassins and that justice is never done. While the cinema in this country is suffering from an overdose of skill-fetichism (one technical gimmick after an­ other vainly trying to make up. for an emptiness of soul) , and while the Italian realist film is proving steadily more inelastic, Spaak is quietly proceeding with the serious business of the cin­ ema, enlarging it "in depth" by lending it that most unlikely di­ mension, real intellectual fervor.

  • Alien Love- Passing, Race, and the Ethics of the Neighbor in Postwar
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Alien Love: Passing, Race, and the Ethics of the Neighbor in Postwar African American Novels, 1945-1956 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy In English By Hannah Wonkyung Nahm 2021 © Copyright by Hannah Wonkyung Nahm 2021 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Alien Love: Passing, Race, and the Ethics of the Neighbor in Postwar African American Novels, 1945-1956 by Hannah Wonkyung Nahm Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles, 2021 Professor King-Kok Cheung, Co-Chair Professor Richard Yarborough, Co-Chair This dissertation examines Black-authored novels featuring White (or White-passing) protagonists in the post-World War II decade (1945-1956). Published during the fraught postwar political climate of agitation for integration and the continual systematic racism, many novels by Black authors addressed the urgent topic of interracial relationality, probing the tabooed question of whether Black and White can abide in love and kinship. One of the prominent—and controversial—literary strategies sundry Black novelists used in this decade was casting seemingly raceless or ambiguously-raced characters. Collectively, these novels generated a mixture of critical approval and dismissal in their time and up until recently, marginalized from the African American literary tradition. Even more critically overlooked than the ostensibly raceless project was the strategic mobilization of the trope of passing by some midcentury Black ii writers to imagine the racial divide and possible reconciliation. This dissertation intersects passing with postwar Black fiction that features either racially-anomalous or biracial central characters. Examining three novels from this historical period as my case studies, I argue that one of the ways in which Black writers of this decade have imagined the possibility of interracial love—with all its political pitfalls and ethical imperatives —is through the trope of passing.

  • Enkaz Devralmak 2
    ENKAZ DEVRALMAK 2. ÖZET KİTAP Bu özet, III Bölüm ve 27 Alt Bölümden oluşan 1. ENKAZ DEVRALMAK özet kitabının devamıdır. BÖLÜM IV “Şu Palyaçoları Başından At” Nixon ve Ford Yönetimleri Döneminde CIA 1968 – 1976 28. “O Palyaçolar Orada Ne Yapıyor?” Helms 1968 baharında, tepesine dikilecek yeni patronun, ya Robert Kennedy, ya da Richard Nixon olacağından korkuyordu. Kennedy, teşkilâtın gücünü istismar etmiş, Helms’e de gayet soğuk ve aşağılayıcı tavırlar almıştı. Başkan adayı olur, sonra da seçilip Başkomutan kisvesini de kuşanırsa, teşkilâtın kendisi hakkındaki gizli dosyalarının tehdidini ensesinde hissedecekti. R. Kennedy seçim kampanyası sırasında bir suikasta kurban gitti. Helms, bu cinayete çok şaşırmış ama fazla da üzülmemişti doğrusu. Richard Nixon ise başka türlü bir sorundu. CIA’nın bir yığın tatlı su elitistleri, Kennedy’nin adamları ve dedikoducular ile dolu olduğunu düşünürdü. John Kennedy ile girişip kıl payı kaybettiği seçim yarışı sırasında yaşanan o meşhur TV tartışmasında yediği gollerin paslarını da rakibine, CIA’nın verdiğine inanıyordu. Nixon, eğer o seçimleri kazansaydı, gizli operasyonları yürütmek için CIA dışında bir örgüt kuracağını 1962’de kaleme aldığı hatıralarında (Six Crisis – Altı Kriz) yazmıştı. CIA’nın yüreğini sökeceğini belirtiyordu açıkça. Helms ve Nixon ilk kez 1968 Ağustos’unda, Başkan Johnson’un çiftliğindeki bir yemek sırasında uzun uzadıya konuştular. Nixon Helms’e, K. Vietnamlıların ABD’yi yendiklerine ilişkin düşüncelerinin sürüp sürmediğini sordu. Helms, düşmanın Dien Bien Phu zaferinden beri bu düşüncede olduğunu söyledi. Nixon’un duymak istediği son şeydi bu. Nixon, seçimleri kazandıktan sonra Johnson’a Helms hakkındaki düşüncelerini sordu, onu görevinde tutmalı mıydı? “Yetenekli ve sadık bir adamdır” dedi Johnson, “Ben olsam tutardım”. Helms yakında bu sadakatinin faturasının ne olduğunu öğrenecekti.
