The forum will be held in the Osborne Room of the Fullerton Public Library from 6:45 to 8:30 on Monday, September 19. Voters everywhere sometimes become engaged in public issues after decisions have been made or are on the brink. Often this becomes a matter of too-little- too-late. NUFF offers this free public forum with the intention of supporting the public in selecting the most thought - ful and informed candidates to carry our city and schools forward. At this event individuals may meet informally with the local candidates and discuss issues relevant to their specific concerns. Candidates will not be making formal presentations, but will reserve the time for individual conver - sations. continued on page 4 JOYA Scholars Melanie Gamez, Ashley Garcia, Stephanie Hernandez, Lorena Zamora, and Rodrigo Zamora are preparing for college.

  • Rhetorical Logic Bombs and Fragmented Online Publics of Vaccine Science
    Journal of Contemporary Rhetoric, Vol. 7, No.4, 2017, pp. 203-216. Rhetorical Logic Bombs and Fragmented Online Publics of Vaccine Science Miles C. Coleman Vaccine denialists are commonly conceived as those who trade “internet articles” within their own “worlds.” Such fragmentation of publics is often regarded as a problem exacerbated by the technical features of the web (e.g., the algorithms of search engines and news aggregators) allowing people to avoid texts inharmonious to their already established worldviews. I make the point that such fragmentation is not simply a technical problem, solved by adding “diversity of texts,” exposing members of fragmented publics to new content, but also a rhetorical one, requiring adaptive engagement with the forms, and lines of argument, practiced between others’, and one’s own, publics. Rhe- torical logic bombing is offered as the strategy of placing media within the common network of texts that constitutes a given fragmented public in order to “sneak in” a critique of the belief-structures of that public. Keywords: digital rhetoric, rhetoric of science and technology, vaccination, rhetorical logic bombs, networked publics What a thing was this, too, which that mighty man wrought and endured in the carven horse, wherein all we chiefs of the Argives were sitting, bearing to the Trojans death and fate! Then thou camest thither, and it must be that thou wast bidden by some god, who wished to grant glory to the Trojans, and godlike Deiphobus followed thee on thy way.1 In the legend of the “Trojan Horse,” Greek soldiers hid inside a large horse, carved of wood, as the rest of their comrades feigned retreat and sailed away from Troy.

For 30 years he has ruled the world of retail fashion – bringing the high street to the catwalk and the catwalk to the high street – but after a damaging public inquiry, his image is tarnished. To save his reputation, he decides to bounce back with a highly publicized and extravagant party celebrating his 60th birthday on the Greek island of Mykonos.

  • Giornale Dicembre Andrea
    (r.e.) A quarant’anni dall’acqua granda, Venezia s’interroga sul futuro guardando pensierosa al presente. Non tutta, magari, ma certamente quella parte in cui volentieri ci riconosciamo, propensa a ritenere che i diritti di cittadinanza siano ancora possibili e praticabili, pur nel dilagare di un monopolio turistico vieppiù devastante, la cui cifra è nella rendita di posizione, autentica maledizione cittadina. Fra i diritti di cittadinanza annoveriamo (e il destino ci ha gentilmente dato in sorte) anche il cinema, massacrato in città, negli ultimi decenni del Novecento, dallo spopolamento e da quel processo di espulsione delle attività commerciali e produttive a bassa redditività che ha fatto da corollario all’incalzare dell’offerta variamente riconducibile alla crescita turistica. Di qui, controcorrente, l’avvio di un investimento pubblico finalizzato a restituire spazi e dignità allo spettacolo cinematografico, specie di qualità. All’insegna di uno sviluppo necessariamente senza profitto (ma possibilmente senza neppure perdite) e dunque gestito in prima persona dall’Amministrazione Comunale (ma propiziato da felici intese con l’impresa privata sul piano patrimoniale), hanno così riaperto i battenti in versione multisala il Giorgione (1999) e l’Astra (2002), mentre restano ancora incompiute la piccola Casa del cinema (destinata a slittare nel 2007, con il trasferimento e il potenziamento dei servizi della Videoteca Pasinetti a Palazzo Mocenigo) e la riattivazione del Rossini, oggetto di un defatigante project financing che – se tutto va bene – produrrà i suoi frutti (tre sale) nel 2008. Un risanamento, in definitiva, per metà compiuto e per metà in via di compimento, al termine del quale la Venezia insulare si vedrà dotata di otto schermi cinematografici a programmazione permamente.

  • Anjem Choudary's Ties to Extremists
    ANJEM CHOUDARY’S TIES TO EXTREMISTS Anjem Choudary’s Ties to Extremists • Through al-Muhajiroun and its various successor organizations, Anjem Choudary has influenced hundreds of violent extremists around the world. • British authorities arrested Choudary in 2014 for supporting ISIS and sentenced him in 2016 to five-and-a-half years in prison. Choudary was released on parole in October 2018 after serving half his sentence. The government imposed more than 20 restrictions on Choudary, which expired in July 2021. • British media has reported that former al-Muhajiroun members drew inspiration from Choudary’s release and started to revitalize the network, even though authorities continue to closely monitor Choudary’s movements and communications. • CEP has profiled 145 entities—112 individuals and 33 organizations—with links to Choudary. Of these 112 individuals, 19 successfully carried out terror attacks, 50 attempted to carry out terror attacks, 19 are—or attempted to become—foreign fighters, and 38 are Islamist propagandists or recruiters. Some individuals are represented in multiple categories. British citizen Anjem Choudary is an internationally designated Islamist cleric and convicted ISIS supporter. Choudary’s Islamist speeches, anti-Western rhetoric, and declared support for violent Islamist movements drew the attention of British authorities, who connected Choudary to manifold terror-related cases in the United Kingdom and Europe. Choudary was arrested in 2014 after he pledged allegiance to ISIS, but he was released on parole in 2018 after serving only half of his sentence. Government-imposed restrictions on Choudary, including on public speaking, expired in July 2021. Choudary immediately held a press conference to profess his innocence and condemn “draconian” British measures against him.1 Choudary remains a dangerous and influential figure.

  • Broken Trust
    Introduction to the Open Access Edition of Broken Trust Judge Samuel P. King and I wrote Broken Trust to help protect the legacy of Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop. We assigned all royal- ties to local charities, donated thousands of copies to libraries and high schools, and posted source documents to BrokenTrustBook.com. Below, the Kamehameha Schools trustees explain their decision to support the open access edition, which makes it readily available to the public. That they chose to do so would have delighted Judge King immensely, as it does me. Mahalo nui loa to them and to University of Hawai‘i Press for its cooperation and assistance. Randall W. Roth, September 2017 “This year, Kamehameha Schools celebrates 130 years of educating our students as we strive to achieve the thriving lāhui envisioned by our founder, Ke Ali‘i Bernice Pauahi Bishop. We decided to participate in bringing Broken Trust to an open access platform both to recognize and honor the dedication and courage of the people involved in our lāhui during that period of time and to acknowledge this significant period in our history. We also felt it was important to make this resource openly available to students, today and in the future, so that the lessons learned might continue to make us healthier as an organization and as a com- munity. Indeed, Kamehameha Schools is stronger today in governance and structure fully knowing that our organization is accountable to the people we serve.” —The Trustees of Kamehameha Schools, September 2017 “In Hawai‘i, we tend not to speak up, even when we know that some- thing is wrong.
