Unreferenced date December 2009 Original research date October 2009 The United Citizen Federation is the fictional government from the Starship Troopers film movie Starship Troopers . It was loosely based on the Terran Federation from the Starship Troopers novel , which is more like the Roman Republic . In the movie version, the UCF has many of the hallmarks of a fascist government, including heavy handed propaganda , the demonization of an external foe, the centralized organization of society for total war , military or militarized and not civilian leadership, and omnipresent uniforms. Fans of the book believe this was in order to provide a target for the director s political commentary. The director Paul Verhoeven confessed on the DVD commentary, that he s never actually read Starship Troopers , claiming after reading the first few chapters, he became bored and depressed . In order to vote in the UCF and its novel counterpart , one must provide Federal Service by serving in the military or other service. The social structure of the world is divided between citizen s people who have served and civilian s people who haven t served . The formation of the UCF is not fully explained in the movie. However, dialogue at the beginning of the film suggests its formation was similar to the Terran Federation albeit more bloody .

Pulp noir is a term used to describe media that constitute a sub genre of things influenced by various film noir noir genres, as well as as implied by its name pulp magazine pulp fiction genres, particularly the hard boiled genre which help give rise to film noir. Pulp noir is marked by its use of classic noir techniques, but with urban influences. Various media include film, illustrations, photographs and videogames. In film Whereas film noir directly involves characters living bleak existences to accomplish a goal with odds against them, pulp noir often portrays a grittier, one man army. Typically, the main character has no distinguishing abilities, but can hold ground against seemingly impossible odds. Pulp noir locations are often seedy, run down and degradated urban landscapes, where the lack of law, morals and even the proliferation of crime and drugs are common themes. Another common trend in pulp noir is the glorification and or demonization of its urban locations. Examples of films that have been referred to as pulp noir include The film adaptation of Frank Miller comics Frank Miller s Sin City ref cite news first Roger last Ebert title Sin City date 2005 08 19 publisher Universal Press Syndicate ref The Clint Eastwood film Million Dollar Baby ref cite news first James last Verniere title FROM THE HUB TO HOLLYWOOD Clint Not planning to retire from biz date 2004 12 18 publisher The Boston Herald ref The Paul McGuigan filmmaker Paul McGuigan film Lucky Number Slevin ref cite news first Heather last Seebach title Slevin s luck has run out date 2006 04 06 publisher The Diamondback ref In other media Some illustration s and photograph s are described as being pulp noir.

Encyclopedia of White Power A Sourcebook on the Radical Racist Right is a reference work reference book edited by Jeffrey Kaplan academic Jeffrey Kaplan . It focuses on the White Power movement, mainly United States U.S. groups and individuals with a few Norway Norwegian and Sweden Swedish groups and individuals also included .

It was published by Altamira Press , a division of Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc. , as a 585 page hardcover in 2000 ISBN 0 7425 0340 2 . Quotation cquote The demonization of the radical right ill serves us when now, more than ever before, it is vitally important to know all we can about this esoteric milieu s nature and potentialities. Moreover, at the end of this quest, I did find something even more remarkable than the fact that we and they are both human beings and have important commonalties. This discovery was more unsettling still, for just as Doug Milford had warned, I found that there IS genuine evil in the world. It is rare. It is subtle. But it is real. By demonizing the many, we cloak the few, and, however unwittingly, ourselves facilitate the existence of evil in the world. author Jeffrey Kaplan source Encyclopedia of White Power, Introduction, pp. xxxiii and xxxiv External links http www.bath.ac.uk esml ecpr newsletter Newsletter5.htm Encyclopedia of White Power , reviewed by Cas Mudde U ... more details

Modern political cartoons Political cartoons can usually be found on the editorial page of most newspaper s, although a few such as Garry Trudeau s Doonesbury are sometimes found on the regular comic strip page.

Recently, many radical or minority issue editorial cartoonists, who would previously have been obscure, have found large audiences on the Internet .

Sula Benet 1903 1982 , also known as Sara Benetowa , was a Poland Polish anthropologist of the 20th century who studied Polish and Judaic customs and traditions. Biography Born in Poland, Benet was fascinated with peasant culture of Poland since her early youth. This interest eventually led her to enroll as a student of literature and philosophy in the Faculty of Humanities in the University of Warsaw but graduated with a degree in anthropology . Upon receiving her degree in 1935, she attended graduate school at Columbia University , where she received her doctorate in 1944. Benet s writings have gained modern notability for her interpretations of the herb known as kaneh bosm or kneh bosm mentioned in the Old Testament and how it relates to the Spiritual use of cannabis religious use of cannabis . Kaneh bosm is mentioned in the Old Testament as part of the holy anointing oil used in the temple and has been interpreted since King James to be sweet flag calamus an herb that is known in North American shamanism and in vedic atharva and has been discovered in modern times to contain a molecule known as Asarone that is a precursor of trimethoxyamphetamine , a psychedelic . Through etymology comparative etymology , analysis of ancient texts including pre Hebrew Semitic language , and pharmacological consistencies she contends that the word kaneh bosm actually refers to cannabis and was used in ancient Jewish religious rites, as a medicine and ritual sacrament. Benet s work is an example that cannabis use has a long culturally important history, and that the criminalization and demonization of cannabis is a recent invention an occurrence of the previous century compared to Torah dating back at least 3,000 years . While Benet s conclusion regarding the psychoactive use of cannabis is not universally recognized among Jewish scholars, there is general agreement that cannabis is used in talmudic sources to refer to hemp fibers, as hemp was a vital commodity before linen replac ... more details
Orphan date February 2009 Justin D. Edwards born 1970 is a Canadian professor in the Department of English at Bangor University . In 2005, he was elected by fellow of Churchill College, Cambridge . Edwards received an M.A and Ph.D. in English from the Universit de Montr al , where he completed his doctoral dissertation on 19th and early 20th century U.S. travel literature. Between 1995 and 2005, he taught at the Universit de Montr al and the University of Copenhagen , where he was appointed as an associate professor in 2002. Gothic Literature Edwards contribution to the study of gothic literature started with Gothic Passages Racial Ambiguity and the American Gothic , which examines the development of U.S. gothic literature alongside 19th century discourses of passing and racial ambiguity. This book focused on the way in which writers of the period gothicized biracial and passing figures in order to frame them within the rubric of a demonization of difference. In Gothic Canada Reading the Spectre of a National Literature , he continued in the area by examining how collective stories about national identity and belonging tend to be haunted by artifice. Post colonialism His work in the field of postcolonialism, growing out of his work on travel writing started with Exotic Journeys Exploring the Erotics of U.S. Travel Literature , which examines the place of travel writing in the rhetoric of imperial expansion and colonial ideology. In this project, he focused on representations of sexuality and eroticism in 19th and early 20th century U.S. travel literature to capture defining moments in the formation of an American national identity. This book led to a collaborative work compiling an anthology of Asian and African travel literature, Other Routes 1500 Years of African and Asian Travel Writing , which collects primary pieces by travel writers from Asia and Africa stretching from the fifth to the 19th centuries.
