    When Fear Is Substituted for Reason: European and Western Government Policies Regarding National Security 1789-1919

    WHEN FEAR IS SUBSTITUTED FOR REASON: EUROPEAN AND WESTERN GOVERNMENT POLICIES REGARDING NATIONAL SECURITY 1789-1919 Norma Lisa Flores A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2012 Committee: Dr. Beth Griech-Polelle, Advisor Dr. Mark Simon Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Michael Brooks Dr. Geoff Howes Dr. Michael Jakobson © 2012 Norma Lisa Flores All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Beth Griech-Polelle, Advisor Although the twentieth century is perceived as the era of international wars and revolutions, the basis of these proceedings are actually rooted in the events of the nineteenth century. When anything that challenged the authority of the state – concepts based on enlightenment, immigration, or socialism – were deemed to be a threat to the status quo and immediately eliminated by way of legal restrictions. Once the façade of the Old World was completely severed following the Great War, nations in Europe and throughout the West started to revive various nineteenth century laws in an attempt to suppress the outbreak of radicalism that preceded the 1919 revolutions. What this dissertation offers is an extended understanding of how nineteenth century government policies toward radicalism fostered an environment of increased national security during Germany’s 1919 Spartacist Uprising and the 1919/1920 Palmer Raids in the United States. Using the French Revolution as a starting point, this study allows the reader the opportunity to put events like the 1848 revolutions, the rise of the First and Second Internationals, political fallouts, nineteenth century imperialism, nativism, Social Darwinism, and movements for self-government into a broader historical context.

The Autobiography has therefore been re-cast and illustrated, in the hope and prayer that the Lord will use it to inspire the Boys and Girls of Christendom with a whole-hearted enthusiasm for the Conversion of the Heathen World to Jesus Christ. A few fresh incidents have been introduced ; the whole contents have been rearranged to suit a new class of readers ; and the service of a gifted Artist has been employed, to make the book every way attractive to the young. For full details as to the Missionary's work and life, the COMPLETE EDITION must still of course be referrcd to.

It is steeped in all the things I love. From the adventure stories of H. Rider Haggard, Jules Verne and Arthur Conan Doyle I took the long build-up to a fantastic element, made all the more amazing because the characters are immersed in the ‘real world’ for so much of the story. From the comics medium I dipped my pen into the European tradition of Hergé, Edgar P. Jacobs, Yves Chaland and the descendents of their ligne claire legacy, along with the strong sense of environment – a believable world – from Asterix and Tintin. Yet I wanted characters and a setting that were very strongly British, without being patriotic. Mixed into all this is my fondness for an involving and compelling plot, and artistic influences absorbed from a wealth of comic artists and illustrators, from Kay Neilsen to Bryan Talbot, and a simple love of history and adventure. No zombies, no bikini-clad gun-toting nubiles, and no teeth-gritting ... grittiness. Just a huge slice of pure adventure, made to go with a big mug of tea.

    MDMA Conference Program Book

    1 2 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Public Health Service National Institutes of Health National Institute on Drug Abuse Bethesda, Maryland 20892 July 19, 2001 Dear Colleagues: On behalf of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), I am pleased to welcome you to MDMA/Ecstasy Research: Advances, Challenges, Future Directions. A number of our best monitoring mechanisms are detecting alarming increases in the popularity of MDMA, particularly among today's youth. Unfortunately, myths abound about both the acute effects and long-term consequences of this drug. In response, we have convened a national and international cadre of experts to examine the latest scientific findings on MDMA and to identify areas requiring additional research. Specifically, this meeting will address patterns and trends of MDMA abuse, acute effects, long-term toxicity, and funtional consequences. In addition to the plenary presentations conducted by some of the world's leading scientists, we have invited and equally impressive number of investigators to display poster presentations of their current research on MDMA. Please take some time during the meeting to visit the research poster gallery on display in the conference center and discuss these ongoing studies with the researchers. Drug abuse research should not only be useful, it should be used. I hope that this conference provides researchers, practitioners, and policy makers with the scientific information needed to mount a comprehensive response to the individual and public health impact of MDMA abuse.
