Noir Theater: The Asphalt Jungle
I'm going to be producing several noir focus articles in the next few weeks, in order to illustrate the societal, political and historical relevance of the greatest era of American cinema. I saw The Asphalt Jungle in high school, enticed into it by the allure of being Marilyn Monroe's first major role. The film is one of the last of the great [...]
Crying Eagle | 6 Reasons I Cry For This Great Country
I am the Crying Eagle, you know me. You see me on the back of pickup trucks all across our great nation. I'm on roadside billboards in the true heart of America like rural Indiana. I am the symbol of freedom, and my heart is broken. Through the eighties I cried every time one of those liberal feminists got an abortion. Now I cry for far more. I [...]
The Art of Politics Is…
The following has been said in various forms of print; Politics is the art of the possible, the art of the sell, the art of compromise, the art of persuasion, the art of looking for trouble, etc. My favorite quote comes from the late Hunter S. Thompson who said, shortly before he died, “Politics is the art of controlling your environment”. [...]
Just the “law” is Bullshit – Sheriff Joes’ Hypocrisy
The Anti-Migrant movement often uses the single defense of "legal" vs. "illegal" as if they are on some sanctimonious crusade to defend the law of the state. You can see the ignorance of the "law" stance in my article: Rule of Law. Now that the precious law is no longer on the side of the anti-migrant pro 1070 group their king tyrant comes forward [...]
You Will Serve The State H.R. 5741
I am uncertain of how much support H.R. 5741 will do in the house. Part of me sees it as ridiculous, but with the power individuals invest in the words written by these men and women labeled as "law" nothing shocks me. H.R. 5741 is labeled the "Universal National Service Act." This is just another of the many examples of nationalism in the united [...]
The Drug War And Illegal Immigration
Governor Brewer of Arizona is on her xenophobic high horse again. This recent article at CNN was brought to my attention in which she was quoted saying: "The simple truth is that the majority of human smuggling in our state is under the direction of the drug cartels, which are by definition smuggling drugs," Brewer's statement said, according to [...]
Dirty Old Uncle Sam and the Anglo-Persian Oil Company
The people have been lied to. Anarchy was turned into a bad word and any mention of the abolition of the state reverts to claims of utopia or chaos. Who spreads those lies? Is it the state ran schools teaching in defense of the state they serve? The left and the right are two sides of the same coin which is already spent as the national debt [...]

Gender, Power and the State: Don’t ask Don’t Tell
Current talks and legislation of the Don't ask Don't tell policy has limited impact on state power and bias in issues of gender and sexuality. This may be a step in the right direction, but a very small step to where we need to go. Within military structure there are issues and questions that must be addressed as well as in culture and state [...]
