On Death & Taxes: Harry’s War

John Morgan

3,648 words

Today being April 15, the much-dreaded “Tax Day” (for our non-American readers, this is the deadline each year when federal income taxes for the previous year must be filed with and paid to the U.S. government’s Internal Revenue Service), I thought it appropriate to call attention to a largely forgotten film that deals with the subject of taxation, and by implication, the larger issues that the question of the federal government’s authority represents: Harry’s War.

Introdução

O mês passado marcou o 50º aniversário da Crise dos Mísseis Cubanos. Isso mereceu um pouco mais do que uma menção de passagem na mídia, apesar do fato de ter sido o momento mais dramático e icônico do meio século de Guerra Fria, um conflito que teve mais participações do que qualquer outro na história e que continua a assombrar o nosso cenário político atual.

Introduction

Last month marked the 50th anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis. It merited little more than a passing mention in the mainstream media, despite the fact of having been the most dramatic and iconic moment in the half-century Cold War, a conflict which had stakes higher than any other in history and which continues to haunt our current political landscape.

God Bless America:
The Anger of the Enfranchised

John Morgan

1,432 words

If I had to put my finger on the defining feature of contemporary American life, it would be anger. Everyone is angry about something, and in many cases, it is often an individual’s most defining characteristic. Mainstream conservatives are convinced that they have somehow been cheated out of their birthright, because liberals just won’t get with the program, and mainstream liberals are convinced that America would transform into utopia overnight, were it not for those other people Read more …

Leader-ful Resistance:
The Predicament of the Right Today

John Morgan

1,978 words

The concept of “leaderless resistance” was popularized on the Right through the writings of Klansman Louis Beam in the 1980s and 1990s, after having allegedly been invented by American intelligence officers in the 1960s as a possible strategy for resisting a theoretical Communist takeover of the United States.

It is really just an adaptation of the cell structure, Read more …

A Prophecy for the Future of Europe

John Morgan

2,930 words

The 2009 French film A Prophet, directed by Jacques Audiard, is one of the best prison/crime films (it contains elements of both) I have seen in a long time. In its gritty realism, it is a throwback to the greatest prison films of bygone eras. Read more …

Atlantis & the Death of the American Myth

John Morgan

1,230 words

On Friday, July 8, 2011, the 135th and last-ever space shuttle mission, carried out by the shuttle Atlantis, is being launched. What many Americans don’t seem to realize yet is that this effectively marks the end of a half-century of America’s adventure into space which began with John F. Kennedy’s call for America to land men on the Moon in his famous 1961 speech. Read more …

Lars von Trier & the Men Among the Ruins

John Morgan

3,662 words

The flap caused in May 2011 at the Cannes Film Festival by Danish film director Lars von Trier is no doubt destined to share the same fate as other racial-toned public outbursts from celebrities in recent years, when the lies hiding the realities of modern life in the West are momentarily torn back so that the tensions lying underneath are savagely revealed. I am thinking, of course, of such incidents as the Michael Richards “nigger” incident at a comedy club in 2006 or Mel Gibson’s drunken “Jew” outburst to a policeman during the same year, among others.
