#06: In My New York Cell In my cell, time doesn’t move the same. You dwell mostly in the past. Or some far off, seemingly hopeless future. The blame, the blunder, a hand in the blender. You stand still, but I stand last. I try. Toothless, seven ways drugged, And I do dream of you. But I cannot be unfollowed, cannot be debugged. That is because torments weigh on me and keep me from visions of happier times. Self-hate overwhelms. I long for death, black death is a lullaby, banged out in rythmes. You learn to hate your best in … Continue reading Ballad # 6: In My New York Cell

#5:  “A Prelude to a Date” The Aforementioned Prelude The moon! The moon was my only marker. God used to play the fiddle and pass the tip jar. It fed our souls shards of hope ground up like glass in the flour. Shards like cocaine dust off, propelled my corpse, and propelled my lifeless body up the mountain roads and down to the piers of Brighton. The road itself. Is now littered with bodies. Eyes dead potential spread far. I see dead people every day, they look well rested. Seeking security, hiding her shame, winking signals of desire and American … Continue reading # 5: “The Bin You are In”

From Hegemony to Community:  A Vision of Realignment for U.S. Foreign Policy Walter Sebastian Adler Hunter College A great power cannot rely purely on unilateralism. The world is too vast and the conflicts are too many. If the U.S. indeed stands behind principles like democratization and global stability it must cultivate a broader alliance of allies. It must be willing to act in meaningful partnership as well as seek to empower underdeveloped countries to reduce socio-economic conditions leading to poverty and unrest. The difficulty lies in combining our values with our national interest. The U.S. must demonstrate that its values … Continue reading China Policy

The Pax Americana  of 1989-2010 Reports Prepared By:  Zachariah Artstien and Rahula Today, i.e. Jeremy McGaffey  Dumbing it Down for the Masses No healthy society longs for war. To your average person war is a nasty reality of human history to be avoided if possible and fought quickly if necessary. Because we claim to be a democracy, the government must convince enough of the populace that war is justified. Your average person does not need statistics, an objective history, or even a clear-cut plan of action. All they need is a simple reason to make them believe. While the New … Continue reading Pax American Policy

Denial of that is revisionist and irrational. National interests and the economic dependencies fostered in that period have paved the way for the inhabitants of those former colonies to remain entrenched in deep ethnic conflict and lasting hatreds fueled by the … Continue reading Para-State Strategies in Israel Palestine

#4: The Cultural Context       When lost in a Champagne Campaign one is always the friend of sex and cigarettes. So begins a fable,              With a vignette vex,  no remorse, no regrets!        The smoke will dissipate and the bottle once empty,  Must be taken off the table. Best to know your class, Best to know and surpass your station, Ideology is not like love,  Yet both have rules and gentle nuances. While drinking hard, some things are lost in translation. She said: Comrade, I have work for you, “How do you cope with a newly broken heart?” For the best way … Continue reading #4 On the Cultural Context
