In the back is a small art studio where sheโ€™s working on a painting based on a paparazzi photograph taken of her as an infant, clutched protectively in her motherโ€™s arms. + +A few things rapidly became clear as I speak to Gourin over the course of an hour. Sheโ€™s a born entertainer, alarmingly beautiful and restlessly gesticulating in her seat as she fires off references to everyone from painter Otto Dix to playwright John Patrick Shanley to Lindsay Lohan. Sheโ€™s commanding; you can imagine her powerful speaking voice effortlessly reaching the last row of a Broadway theater. Most of all, sheโ€™s razor-focused on one longtime goal. + +โ€œIโ€™ve wanted to act my entire life,โ€ Gourin tells The Daily Beast. โ€œMy mom filmed me my whole childhood and itโ€™s literally me saying, โ€˜Can I get filmed again?โ€™ I was performing for everyone and their parents at sleepovers, doing fake *American Idol* and things like that.โ€ + +As a kid, when she got obsessed with the musical *Annie*, Gourin begged her mom to buy her a curly wig. Her aunt sewed her a red dress to complete the costume. + +โ€œMy mom wouldnโ€™t let me act when I was younger, and I can respect that, but Iโ€™m like, โ€˜Fuck, I would have killed it,โ€™โ€ Gourin says. + +And thereโ€™s no way around it: From her sharply arched eyebrows to the massive, manic grin that splits her face in half, Gourin is the spitting image of her father, Academy Award-winning actor [Jack Nicholson](https://www.thedailybeast.com/jack-nicholson-deserves-a-better-biography-than-this). + +As in, the Jack Nicholson who played an alcoholic writer descending into madness in [*The Shining*](https://www.thedailybeast.com/inside-the-shining-sequel-doctor-sleep-a-spooky-as-hell-tribute-to-stanley-kubrick-and-stephen-king)*,* arguably [Stanley Kubrick](https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-secret-photographs-of-stanley-kubrick)โ€™s masterpiece. The Jack Nicholson who bellowed his way into the history books as a formidable Marine Corps colonel in [*A Few Good Men*](https://www.thedailybeast.com/a-few-great-men-too-many-aaron-sorkin-doesnt-think-you-can-handle-the-truth). The Jack Nicholson whoโ€™s such a cornerstone of American cinema, his unmistakable features might as well be carved into Mount Lee next to the [Hollywood sign](https://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2010/04/26/hugh-hefner-saves-lsquohollywoodrsquo-sign). + +At one point during our conversation, Gourin burst out laughing and so precisely resembled Nicholson that I felt a visceral jolt of shock. + +The actor is known to have fathered at least five children by [four different women](https://news.amomama.com/282858-jack-nicholson-fathers-5-kids-its-claime.html), but he has [never publicly acknowledged](https://www.yourtango.com/entertainment/jack-nicholson-daughter-tessa-gourin-slams-illegitimate-father#:~:text=Jack%20Nicholson's%20daughter%2C%20Tessa%20Gourin,said%20in%20an%20Instagram%20story.) Gourin as his daughter, and he hasnโ€™t been present in her life since she was a child. She hasnโ€™t spoken to Nicholson in years, she said, and declined to be more specific. + +โ€œFrom a very young age, my mother told me not to tell anyone that I have this famous dad,โ€ Gourin tells The Daily Beast. โ€œI knew he was powerful and Daddy Warbucks-level rich, so I kind of equated my life to being like Orphan Annieโ€™s.โ€ + +But at the peak of the internet-wide conversation about โ€œ[nepo babies](https://www.thedailybeast.com/nepo-babies-of-famous-parents-say-they-did-it-their-way-no-one-is-buying-it),โ€ when everyone was gleefully mocking the children of celebrities whoโ€™ve been given every professional opportunity and yet compulsively refuse to acknowledge their advantages, *Newsweek* published an essay written by Gourin with the headline, โ€œ[Iโ€™m Jack Nicholsonโ€™s Daughterโ€”I Wish People Could Call Me a Nepo Baby.](https://www.newsweek.com/jack-nicholson-daughter-tessa-gourin-nepo-babies-1777724)โ€ + +โ€œHaving grown up without my father, Iโ€™ve sat on the sidelines and watched in frustration as other celebrity children have seamlessly secured roles or been signed to huge agencies,โ€ Gourin [wrote](https://www.newsweek.com/jack-nicholson-daughter-tessa-gourin-nepo-babies-1777724) in the piece. โ€œMore recently, I have grown even more frustrated at what I think is a missed opportunity for these so-called โ€˜nepo babiesโ€™ to own their position and embrace it instead of complaining about it.โ€ + +Gourin was inspired to write the essay after reading an interview with actress and model Lily-Rose Depp in which the 23-year-old denied benefiting from nepotism. Depp, the daughter of [Johnny Depp](https://www.thedailybeast.com/unsealed-docs-from-johnny-depp-v-amber-heard-defamation-trial-contain-shocking-new-claims) and French singer Vanessa Paradis, [told *Elle*](https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a41894075/0125-0141-an-idol-rising-december-2022/) in November, โ€œItโ€™s weird to me to reduce somebody to the idea that theyโ€™re only there because itโ€™s a generational thing. People are going to have preconceived ideas about you or how you got there, and I can definitely say that nothing is going to get you the part except for being right for the part.โ€ + +Gourin made it clear that sheโ€™s a fan of Lily-Rose, despite their different perspectives. โ€œItโ€™s such a double-sided thing, because I can also understand the frustration of getting in the door, and then once youโ€™re there itโ€™s like, โ€˜OK, now show us what you can do,โ€™โ€ Gourin tells The Daily Beast. โ€œBut as an actor, thatโ€™s the most exciting thing to me. Itโ€™s a driving force to want to prove yourself. This guilty thing over ultimately having a gift is something you should just work out yourself, and put into your work.โ€ + +Gourin grew up on Manhattanโ€™s Upper East Side, in a two-bedroom apartment with her mother, former New York real estate agent Jennine Gourin, and her younger half-brother. Life was hardly luxurious; the family moved every time the rent went up. Her early education was funded by Nicholson: โ€œI went to (and was thrown out of) many prestigious private schools, through his financial help,โ€ [Gourin wrote](https://www.newsweek.com/jack-nicholson-daughter-tessa-gourin-nepo-babies-1777724) in *Newsweek*. + +โ€œLook, I was raised by a single mother in a really intense, nuanced situation,โ€ Gourin tells The Daily Beast. โ€œI grew up in private schools, which I am appreciative of, but my home life wasnโ€™t great, so I donโ€™t feel as though I really even got the full benefit of a good education. I was so all over the place with processing my life. I was acting out. But granted, Iโ€™m not saying, โ€˜Poor me, I grew up so poor.โ€™ I was completely fine. My mother indulged me.โ€ + +Like many budding thespians, Gourin relished performing in high school plays. Eventually, though, she grew fearful of encroaching on her fatherโ€™s hallowed territory or even being blacklisted over their connection, so she stopped acting for a couple of years in her mid-twenties. + +โ€œI was afraid people would think I was tacky or that I was riding off his coattails,โ€ she explains. โ€œBut this person doesnโ€™t want me in his life, so how would you use that to your benefit?โ€ + +โ€œMy mom wanted me to have a relationship with him, but he said he wasnโ€™t interested,โ€ Gourin says. โ€œWhen youโ€™re a child, you donโ€™t have a choice where youโ€™re going, so if your mom is pushing you on someone whoโ€™s technically your father and he agrees to see you for anywhere between one hour and a couple of days, thatโ€™s where youโ€™re going to go. I donโ€™t know this person very well, weโ€™ll just say that.โ€ + +(This is how she [put it](https://www.newsweek.com/jack-nicholson-daughter-tessa-gourin-nepo-babies-1777724) in *Newsweek*: โ€œHave you ever been on a date and sensed that the other person just wasnโ€™t feeling it? Thatโ€™s pretty much how every interaction I have ever had with Jack Nicholson has gone.โ€) + +โ€œI was afraid people would think I was tacky or that I was riding off his coattails. But this person doesnโ€™t want me in his life, so how would you use that to your benefit?โ€ + +Now, after many hours of therapy spent sorting through the contradictions of her upbringingโ€”a process Gourin says is โ€œvery painfulโ€ and nowhere near finishedโ€”sheโ€™s finally ready to embrace her calling. She doesnโ€™t have an agent or a manager yet, but for the past two years, sheโ€™s been working with acting teacher [Tony Greco](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0337517/news), who also instructed [Philip Seymour Hoffman](https://www.thedailybeast.com/philip-seymour-hoffmans-partner-tells-the-inside-story-of-his-fatal-battle-with-addiction). Notably, [like her father](https://www.yahoo.com/now/jack-nicholson-actually-high-filming-150612771.html#:~:text=Jack%20Nicholson%20is%20a%20self,thought%2C%20word%2C%20and%20deed.), Gourin is a devoted believer in method acting. + +โ€œThe Method is just something that ended up being what works for me the most,โ€ she says. โ€œA huge reason why Iโ€™m so drawn to acting is because I have a really complicated life. Because of my life experiences, I have a large amount of conflicting emotions, and acting is a place for me to put those emotions. Method acting is all about examining peopleโ€™s pathologies and why they do what they do, which is of interest to me.โ€ + +โ€œIโ€™m also fucking crazy,โ€ she deadpans. โ€œIโ€™m not the poster child for sanity, and I do think thatโ€™s a little similar to my dad, from what Iโ€™ve read.โ€ + +Gourin says sheโ€™s never had a conversation with her father about their shared passion for acting, but artistically, she harbors zero resentment towards him. โ€œI really want this to come across: If I were to discredit anything about his acting, then that wouldnโ€™t make me an artist, because making art and being the worldโ€™s greatest dad are not the same thing,โ€ she says. + +โ€œIf I were to discredit anything about his acting, then that wouldnโ€™t make me an artist, because making art and being the worldโ€™s greatest dad are not the same thing.โ€ + +Instead, Gourin has her sights set on the future. Sheโ€™s excited about an [upcoming feature](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11853291/) she acted in thatโ€™s directed by Kansas Bowling, and sheโ€™s also writing and starring in a short film of her own that sheโ€™ll work on this summer. โ€œIt takes place in a hotel room, and itโ€™s everything Iโ€™ve ever wanted to say to my father,โ€ Gourin said. + +But sheโ€™s eager to do much more. + +โ€œIn terms of the types of roles I would love to play: Jessica Lange in *Frances*, Ellen Burstyn in *Alice Doesnโ€™t Live Here Anymore*, Parker Posey in *Party Girl*, Martha Plimpton in *200 Cigarettes*, and Gena Rowlands in literally anything she has ever done,โ€ she says. โ€œI want to work with Darren Aronofsky. I would love to work with Mike White. I would tear *The* *White Lotus*.โ€ + +Despite her momโ€™s best efforts, the truth about Gourinโ€™s parentage has always been both an open secret and an inescapable element of her creativity. The fact that her dad is Jack Nicholson has prompted rabid curiosity from everyone from nosy camp counselorsโ€”โ€œThey used to make me say โ€˜Hereโ€™s Johnny,โ€™ and obviously at 8 years old Iโ€™d never even seen *The Shining,*โ€ Gourin saysโ€”to the adults who supervised her childhood playdates and shamelessly asked how her father was doing. + +โ€œPeople always find out everywhere I go, and Iโ€™m actually not sure how, because itโ€™s not what I lead with, ever,โ€ she says. โ€œBut if people ask me, Iโ€™ll always just get into it because Iโ€™m such an open book and have had to comb through it so much that Iโ€™m like, โ€˜Yeah, ask me what you want.โ€™โ€ + +Her hard-won vulnerability sometimes comes back to bite her. + +โ€œA few years ago I was casually dating this guy who was also an actor, and I opened up to him about the whole situation, specifically about how difficult it was for me growing up,โ€ Gourin recalls. โ€œHis response was to start doing a monologue from *The Departed*, in the accent and everything.โ€ + +(Reader, I screamed. Nicholson, of course, plays [a psychopathic Irish Mob boss](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5AuLTra3t8) in the Boston-based Best Picture winner, directed by Martin Scorsese.) + +Fully aware of being invasive, I ask Gourin whether sheโ€™d ever found out why her father, so omnipresent on billboards and *Batman* T-shirts and TNT reruns, had chosen to be largely absent from her life. She didnโ€™t flinch. + +โ€œI donโ€™t think anyoneโ€™s ever given me a concrete answer,โ€ she says, peering at me calmly, straight brown hair tucked behind her ears. โ€œI formed my own opinion. Heโ€™s a complicated person, and I think my mom fights her own demons, and with the combination of the two, I was simply collateral damage.โ€ + +โ€œI was dealt a really shitty random card, but Iโ€™m not gonna let that destroy me,โ€ she continues, her voice slipping into a ringing register I hadnโ€™t heard before. โ€œIn fact, Iโ€™m gonna use it to fuel me. I feel like every really good artist, whatโ€™s at their core, what their ultimate hardships and conflicts are within their livesโ€”thatโ€™s what drives them, and that just happens to be mine.โ€ + +  +  + +--- +`$= dv.el('center', 'Source: ' + dv.current().Link + ', ' + dv.current().Date.toLocaleString("fr-FR"))` \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/00.03 News/Texas Goes Permitless on Guns, and Police Face an Armed Public.md b/00.03 News/Texas Goes Permitless on Guns, and Police Face an Armed Public.md index ff35579a..04d786ed 100644 --- a/00.03 News/Texas Goes Permitless on Guns, and Police Face an Armed Public.md +++ b/00.03 News/Texas Goes Permitless on Guns, and Police Face an Armed Public.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- -Tag: ["Society", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ", "๐Ÿ”ซ", "๐Ÿค "] +Tag: ["๐Ÿคต๐Ÿป", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ", "๐Ÿ”ซ", "๐Ÿค "] Date: 2022-10-30 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/Thanked by Shady Eminem's hip-hop idols react to Rock Hall shoutouts.md b/00.03 News/Thanked by Shady Eminem's hip-hop idols react to Rock Hall shoutouts.md index ba74e69a..504db884 100644 --- a/00.03 News/Thanked by Shady Eminem's hip-hop idols react to Rock Hall shoutouts.md +++ b/00.03 News/Thanked by Shady Eminem's hip-hop idols react to Rock Hall shoutouts.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- -Tag: ["Art", "๐ŸŽถ", "๐ŸŽค"] +Tag: ["๐ŸŽญ", "๐ŸŽถ", "๐ŸŽค"] Date: 2022-11-27 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/The 1918 flu didnโ€™t end in 1918.

In the complaint, opponents argue the drill sites and access roads Ormat proposed would impact a series of adjacent hot springs, disrupt the arid ecosystem, and prevent residents from enjoying their pristine desert home. In documents filed with the court, Burning Man argued its responsible stewardship of the land and centrality to the regionโ€™s economic life, pointing out the geothermal project would โ€œthreaten the viabilityโ€ of its various initiatives in the state โ€” initiatives that have made it among the largest operators in the immediate area and spawned hundreds of acres of year-round sites dedicated to preserving the culture of the Burn. โ€œWe know this region, itโ€™s our home base,โ€ said Burning Manโ€™s director of government affairs in a statement. โ€œOur interest goes beyond the large-scale event we bring here.

But Burning Man the organization, which has expanded to become a de facto manager of the region as much as the producer of a yearly eight-day rave, exerts significant cash investment and political muscle to further its interests. + +The energy project that Burning Man opposes is part of a nationwide effort to build renewable power plants on federally owned land; last year, the Biden administration set goals to reach carbon-free electricity [generation by 2035](https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/04/22/fact-sheet-president-biden-sets-2030-greenhouse-gas-pollution-reduction-target-aimed-at-creating-good-paying-union-jobs-and-securing-u-s-leadership-on-clean-energy-technologies/), and a congressional mandate requires the Bureau of Land Management to permit 25 gigawatts of alternative energy production on public lands over the next two years. Over [23,000 acres of land](https://www.blm.gov/programs/energy-and-minerals/renewable-energy/active-renewable-projects) in western states like Utah and New Mexico have been approved for use by renewable-energy companies as of late last year. In this case, the 29 acres Ormat is set to lease happen to be a mile north of Gerlach, Nevada, the gateway through which many of the 80,000 visitors to Burning Man pass through on their way to the annual event. + +โ€œPeople travel to Gerlach to experience the solitude of the vast open spaces and undeveloped vistas present in the Black Rock Desert,โ€ according to the complaint, โ€œas well as to attend numerous events and to pursue a variety of recreation experiences in the undeveloped desert.โ€ The exploratory project โ€”ย with the drilling, noise, and traffic involved โ€”ย would be โ€œwholly inconsistent with BMPโ€™s \[Burning Man Projectโ€™s\] and othersโ€™ use and enjoyment of the area.โ€ In response, Ormatโ€™s lawyers have argued their project is consistent with the law and would โ€œoffset some of the copious amounts of fossil fuels the Burning Man Project annually emits in the Black Rock Desert,โ€ a jab at the festivalโ€™s broader impact on the region โ€”ย which, despite its Ten Principles, [leaves a fairly sizable trace](https://www.rgj.com/story/opinion/voices/2019/04/18/burning-man-embrace-environmental-protection-black-rock-desert/3501500002/) that the organization says itโ€™s [working to improve](https://sfstandard.com/arts-culture/what-is-burning-man-culture-community-ceo-marian-goodell/).

Wind, solar, and geothermal projects are land-intensive to varying degrees, bringing large-scale industrial processes to remote and often sparsely populated areas. [(According to the Department of Energy](https://www.energy.gov/eere/geothermal/geothermal-faqs), geothermal projects tend to have a smaller footprint than their peers.) Still, as the sector booms, legal disputes about its impacts are booming alongside them. In the wealthy vacation town of Nantucket, Massachusetts, a retired stock trader and a former member of Donald Trumpโ€™s transition team are [part of an effort](https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2022/04/21/right-whales-biden/) opposing a local wind-turbine project. Last year, the Center for Biological Diversity and the Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe successfully sued the BLM [over another of Ormatโ€™s projects](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/05/us/nevada-toad-endangered.html), halting the construction of two Nevada plants when they demonstrated construction would impact the habitat of an endangered toad. The claims can be challenging to parse. And particularly in parts of the West where wilderness tourism and picturesque landscapes have a major economic impact, commercial interests and environmental stewardship can be deeply intertwined. When almost no one wants a renewable-energy project in their backyard, meaningful opposition depends on how convincing of a legal argument an interested party can make. And how much power players have to see through what are often long and expensive lawsuits. + +In its nearly four decades of existence, Burning Manโ€™s โ€™90s-era gathering of situationist-inspired artists has professionalized to become a โ€œ[dusty version of Davosโ€](https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v36/n14/emily-witt/diary) where Paris Hilton partied and Googleโ€™s founders [went to find a new CEO](https://www.nbcnews.com/better/careers/what-google-found-burning-man-ceo-art-flow-n723856). The introduction of ticket sales in the early years of the festival required the formation of an LLC โ€” an LLC that organizers intended to dissolve and re-form every year until they realized the practice was โ€œnot viewed favorably by the financial communityโ€ and made it difficult to run credit cards or rent office space. Burning Man has come to make an enormous amount of money on ticket sales, which it then funnels back into operations which include salaries for full-time employees and millions in yearly fees to municipalities and BLM. In 2020, it [took in $44 million](https://www.rgj.com/story/life/arts/burning-man/2020/01/09/burning-man-money-t-tax-documents-black-rock-city-budget/2827709001/) from the festival alone. The implications of all that cash were responsible in part for its most consequential restructuring: In 2011, organizers [formed the Burning Man Project](https://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/28/business/growing-pains-for-burning-man-festival.html), which would oversee the organizationโ€™s various property-holding entities and provide a structure to expand its reach. โ€œWeโ€™re scaling to meet the growing demand for tools and resources to reproduce the Burning Man experience outside of Black Rock Cityโ€ [said one of the festivalโ€™s co-founders](https://journal.burningman.org/2014/03/news/global-news/burning-man-transitions-to-non-profit-organization/) at the time. Today, the nonprofit oversees four subsidiaries, including Burners Without Borders, a global aid organization, and reports its total assets are around $25 million, [according to most recent tax filings.](https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/452638273)ย  + +As Burning Man has expanded its mission, the autonomous temporary city has infiltrated the full-time town of Gerlach in decidedly permanent ways. A year-round field office employs 20 full-time staff (a not-insignificant portion of the workforce in a town of around 100) and the organization has purchased hundreds of acres of land holdings in the area. It also [owns more than half](https://journal.burningman.org/2022/08/news/official-announcements/building-a-permanent-city/) the commercial property in Gerlach through a series of subsidies, consolidating its year-round position as a local stakeholder. The organization holds a significant enough role in the area that, in 2018, Renoโ€™s mayor, herself a Burner, [invited representatives of the organization to the U.S. Conference of Mayors,](https://journal.burningman.org/2018/02/news/global-news/putting-the-city-in-black-rock-city-at-the-u-s-conference-of-mayors/) where Burners spoke alongside Karen Pence and Nancy Pelosi. + +But Burning Manโ€™s relationship to the government isnโ€™t always cozy, particularly whenย  cash-strapped municipalities look to the organization to extract money for infrastructure they say Burning Man has used. Last year, county officials in the area surrounding Black Rock City [discussed adding fees](https://sfist.com/2022/05/05/nevada-county-may-add-an-impact-fee-onto-burning-man-tickets-prices-to-keep-their-roads-maintained/) to the festivalโ€™s tickets to help maintain a section of rural road, and recently Gerlach raised [the price of the water](https://www.rgj.com/story/life/arts/burning-man/2020/01/15/burning-man-2020-gerlach-nevada/2838189001/) it sells to the nonprofit, arguing it would help offset the cost of a new water system the town bought. In the latter instance, Burning Man compilied but registered complaints: Responsibility for high-quality water in the area, a festival representative told the town, should not be the organizationโ€™s โ€œburden alone.โ€ + +Burning Man also pays millions of dollars each year to the Bureau of Land Management, which controls the dry lake bed that Burners transform into a metropolis each year, reimbursing the agency for security services and special permits โ€” in 2016, the agency hired a special [โ€œBurning Man project managerโ€](https://www.rgj.com/story/life/arts/burning-man/2016/01/21/blm-hiring-burning-man-project-manager-must-good-paperwork/79070606/) just to handle the event. The relationship has also been tense at times. + +Between 2016 and 2020,ย  , Burning Man filed a lawsuit and [six appeals](https://www.rgj.com/story/life/arts/burning-man/2020/04/29/burning-man-sues-blm-prevent-release-financial-records/3050608001/) arguing the agency chronically overcharged the festival and used the revenue as a piggy bank. Case in point: In 2016, [a number of top BLM agents were reassigned](https://www.rgj.com/story/life/arts/burning-man/2016/07/08/burning-man-demands-27m-blm/86491286/) after requesting the festival spend $1.2 million on a VIP area with flushing toilets and ice cream for agency higher-ups. A separate lawsuit [in 2020](https://www.rgj.com/story/life/arts/burning-man/2020/04/29/burning-man-sues-blm-prevent-release-financial-records/3050608001/) sought to bar the BLM from handing over Burning Manโ€™s financial records to a county official. + +Through 2019, as Burning Man planned for a 2020 festival that would never come to pass, BLM prepared an environmental report based on organizersโ€™ requests to expand the event from 80,000 attendees to 100,000. Among other things, the agency recommended random drug screenings, concrete barriers set around the festivalโ€™s boundaries, and dumpsters to collect trash. The Burners rebelled. Burning Man [hired the powerful Washington, D.C.](https://www.rgj.com/story/life/arts/burning-man/2019/06/26/burning-man-hires-lobbying-firm-ex-donald-trump-campaigner-deal-blm-holland-knight-permit-black-rock/1572601001/), legal andย lobbying firm Holland & Knight to combat the BLM. The firmโ€™s head of regulation and Scott Mason, who worked on Donald Trumpโ€™s presidential campaign, were listed on the account. At a raucous public hearing related to the new regulations, festival attendees slammed the agency: โ€œWe donโ€™t need you, we really donโ€™t,โ€ said one, [according to the Reno *Gazette-Journal*](https://www.heraldmailmedia.com/story/life/arts/burning-man/2019/04/09/burning-man-blm-meeting-full-eyerolls-frustrations/3408505002/). (At the following yearโ€™s festival, there were no trash cans, screenings, [or barriers around the site](https://journal.burningman.org/2019/06/news/brc-news/the-final-environmental-impact-statement/) โ€” an agreement eventually reached by the festival and the agency.) + +In recent decades, Burning Man has primarily wielded its influence to target policies related to its festival operations: steep fees reimbursed to BLM or the county for police services, for instance, in the organizationโ€™s yearly autonomous zone. With the most recent lawsuit against Ormat, though, Burning Man is positioning itself as a year-round steward of the acres of desert surrounding the dry lake bed in which it sets up camp for eight days every year. The project would impact land that is โ€œimportant to BMPโ€™s future plans and will also boost the local economy through tourism revenue,โ€ the organization writes. + +The renewable-energy projects mandated by the federal government will need to happen somewhere โ€”ย the question is what constitutes reasonable opposition to the siting, and whose version of environmental stewardship will prevail. Itโ€™s true that the Ormat project might disrupt the lives of the 100 or so people who live in the area full time, and the people who visit the Black Rock Desert during the other 11 months of the year. โ€œOrmatโ€™s Exploration Project will lay the foundation for turning a unique, visually pristine ecosystem of environmental, historical, and cultural significance into an industrial zone, and permanently alter the landscape,โ€ the complainants write. But if Burning Man prevails, that future may fall to other pristine communities, which may not have the resources to make the argument that their land is uniquely significant because a global technofuturist community has made it their yearly tourism pilgrimage and spiritual home. + +The Big MOOP at Burning Man + +  +  + +--- +`$= dv.el('center', 'Source: ' + dv.current().Link + ', ' + dv.current().Date.toLocaleString("fr-FR"))` \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/00.03 News/The Biggest Change in Media Since Cable Is Happening Right Now.md b/00.03 News/The Biggest Change in Media Since Cable Is Happening Right Now.md index 7eb1429c..dc43a85b 100644 --- a/00.03 News/The Biggest Change in Media Since Cable Is Happening Right Now.md +++ b/00.03 News/The Biggest Change in Media Since Cable Is Happening Right Now.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- -Tag: ["Tech", "Bezos", "๐Ÿ—ž๏ธ"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿ“Ÿ", "๐Ÿ“ˆ", "๐Ÿ—ž๏ธ"] Date: 2022-06-26 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/The Bullet and the Ballplayer.md b/00.03 News/The Bullet and the Ballplayer.md index d1ae834a..baa9d261 100644 --- a/00.03 News/The Bullet and the Ballplayer.md +++ b/00.03 News/The Bullet and the Ballplayer.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- -Tag: ["Society", "Sport", "Crime", "โšพ๏ธ", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ", "๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿคต๐Ÿป", "๐Ÿฅ‰", "๐Ÿš”", "โšพ๏ธ", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ", "๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด"] Date: 2022-03-27 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/The Clockwork Orgasm - Common Reader.md b/00.03 News/The Clockwork Orgasm - Common Reader.md index cdc68f51..b807fc4d 100644 --- a/00.03 News/The Clockwork Orgasm - Common Reader.md +++ b/00.03 News/The Clockwork Orgasm - Common Reader.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- -Tag: ["Human", "๐Ÿ†", "Orgasm"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿซ€", "๐Ÿ†", "Orgasm"] Date: 2022-05-15 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/The Cowboy and Queen Elizabeth.md b/00.03 News/The Cowboy and Queen Elizabeth.md index d8a388e2..5c6ece24 100644 --- a/00.03 News/The Cowboy and Queen Elizabeth.md +++ b/00.03 News/The Cowboy and Queen Elizabeth.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- -Tag: ["Society", "๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง", "๐Ÿ‘‘"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿคต๐Ÿป", "๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง", "๐Ÿ‘‘", "๐ŸŽ"] Date: 2022-09-12 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/The Curious Case of Ketron Island.md b/00.03 News/The Curious Case of Ketron Island.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..4fdb4e38 --- /dev/null +++ b/00.03 News/The Curious Case of Ketron Island.md @@ -0,0 +1,225 @@ +--- + +Tag: ["๐Ÿคต๐Ÿป", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ", "๐Ÿช–"] +Date: 2023-02-12 +DocType: "WebClipping" +Hierarchy: +TimeStamp: 2023-02-12 +Link: https://sundaylongread.com/2023/02/09/the-curious-case-of-ketron-island/ +location: +CollapseMetaTable: true + +--- + +Parent:: [[@News|News]] +Read:: [[2023-02-20]] + +--- + +  + +```button +name Save +type command +action Save current file +id Save +``` +^button-TheCuriousCaseofKetronIslandNSave + +  + +# The Curious Case of Ketron Island + +![Cinnamon Janzer (she/her)](https://i0.wp.com/sundaylongread.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Janzer_headshot_1-copy.jpg?ssl=1) + +Cinnamon Janzer (she/her) + +Cinnamon Janzer is a Minneapolis-based freelance journalist and copywriter. Her work is dedicated to covering lesser-told stories from across middle America, specializing in analytical, โ€œsecond-dayโ€ reporting. She regularly publishes with a number of outlets including Al Jazeera,ย The Guardian, National Geographic, Conde Nast Traveler, Food & Wine, Next City, The Minnesota Reformer, and more. Cinnamon speaks English and Spanish. + +Bob Barrett was *not* going to Vietnam.ย  + +Instead, like the thousands of other Americans who objected to the war but couldnโ€™t avoid the draft, he went to jail. During the 13 months and 9 days served of his 18-month sentence on Washington Stateโ€™s McNeil Island, he gazed across Puget Sound at orca pods meandering between two nearby islands, Anderson and Ketron. + +After his release, the one-time Berkeley student remained in his home state and, years later, began working as a bus driver for Tacomaโ€™s Pierce County Transit, spending layovers between bus trips walking the railroad tracks on the edge of the small coastal town of Steilacoom and looking out over the water at the same islands he had peered at from prison, this time from the other side. + +Bob was intrigued by Ketron Island and the one house he could see peeking out from the trees along its jagged cliffs. But when he asked his passengers about it, no one seemed to know anything about the island just a half a mile from shore. So, one hot summer day in 1992, decades after his curiosity was first piqued, he decided to see for himself, jumping in the chilly Sound for a swim. Forty-five minutes later he was on Ketronโ€™s shores, surrounded by piles of greige driftwood stacked on the islandโ€™s rocky sands and purple foxglove that peeked out from the rugged ground underneath a canopy of firs, cedars, and poplars. + +A couple of introductions and many thousands of dollars later, Bob, now a 79-year-old gray-haired vegan who could easily pass for a decade younger, and his wife Kathy became owners of a house on the island. By the following spring, they and their daughters were living on Ketron full time. + +The Barretts were part of a wave of settlement of Ketron in the 1990s, a changing of the guard from one generation of islanders to the next. Each of the 20 or so inhabitants who call Ketron home today moved there for their own reasons and in their own way, although, unlike Bob, mostly by watercraft. Yet, their raisons dโ€™รชtre are as unique as they are similar. They were drawn to the seclusion of the private island thatโ€™s nothing like the tropical paradises evoked by notions of private islands in the collective American imagination. + +![](https://i0.wp.com/sundaylongread.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/083122_SundayLongRead_KetronIsland_JovelleTamayo_008.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&ssl=1) + +A view of Ketron Island, Wash., on Wednesday, Aug. 31, 2022. *Jovelle Tamayo for Sunday Long Read* + +The roughly [230-acre island extends 1.4 miles across](https://www.piercecountywa.gov/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Item/847?fileID=1053) and is encircled by three miles of shoreline made largely inaccessible by steep, wooded cliffs. Its skies are alive with bald eagles, kingfishers, and cormorants while its shores are home to harbor seals and its flora feeds deer and raccoons. Public ferry service thatโ€™s become intermittent at best through the years renders Ketron secluded despite its proximity to the mainland. + +As a result, unlike other private islands, Ketron has spoken to rugged individualists with a knack for doing things their own way rather than affluent financiers looking to surround themselves with luscious solitude. Itโ€™s hard to know if there are any other islands truly like it โ€” Bob, a conscientious objector, has lived for years cheek by jowl with Ron, an intelligence-gathering fiend who excitedly launched a military career in Vietnam. Ketronโ€™s future is unclear, as aging residents like the Barretts spend an increasing amount of time at their apartment on the mainland and homes slowly turn over to new generations whose intents and ambitions will reshape the island anew. Ketron could see something of a modern renaissance as it becomes home to a new coterie of deeply-connected-yet-entirely-disparate residents whose desire for a life unlike any other will lead to ingenious spins on semi-communal living that the rest of us could never envision. It could also dissolve into a tiny home enclave thatโ€™s only sparsely inhabited on holidays and the occasional long weekend.ย  + +Regardless of what the next incarnation of Ketron will look like, over recent decades it has been a practically sovereign, home-rule oasis of islandersโ€™ own making. Ketronโ€™s seclusion has presented its residents with an array of challenges, like preventing fires during the dry summer months, but also with unique opportunities, like operating their own company to manage the islandโ€™s waterโ€”both an administrative hassle and a rare security as [water systems privatize](https://prospect.org/environment/privatizing-our-public-water-supply/) across the rest of the county.ย ย  + +But one personโ€™s under-the-radar sanctuary is often anotherโ€™s chance for lawless malfeasance. The same laissez faire lifestyle that draws those who prefer the freedom of the fringes of society also speaks to schemers with dollar signs in their eyes and few inhibitions about how to attain them. + +#### An Island of Broken Dreams + +Ketron Island โ€” part of the [Steilacoom peopleโ€™s territory](https://www.historylink.org/file/20675) until the [first wagons lumbered across the Oregon Trail](https://www.historylink.org/file/5053#:~:text=After%20more%20hard%20traveling%20and,wagon%20road%20was%20soon%20established.) in the early 1850s โ€” was named for William Kittson, an employee of a Canadian fur trading business. The spelling of his name was botched by cartographers and, from a mistake arose modern-day Ketron Island. + +Modern activity on the island was scant until J.C. Morris, a prolific Alaskan developer in search of a beachfront retirement home, purchased it in 1946. By 1956, Morris had both a sprawling 5,310-square-foot, mid-century modern gem of a home in the [style of Frank Lloyd Wright](https://www.thenewstribune.com/news/business/article27091348.html) and a multi-million dollar plan to develop the island into a province of 400 suburban-style homes. + +Advertising low property taxes and fuel and construction costs, a pamphlet touting the community Morris envisioned offered a โ€œlifelong package of pleasure, relaxation, recreation, and privacy.โ€ His vision included a shopping center, churches, schools, a library, horse riding trails, a golf practice course, and numerous other amenities. + +Sandy Ballinger saw Morrisโ€™s vision up close. In the late โ€˜60s, she, her husband, and their 5-week-old daughter Pam came to Ketron in search of a weekend cabin. โ€œThey had all these lots. Everything was planned. There was Morris Boulevard,โ€ โ€” still the islandโ€™s main road โ€” โ€œand a marina. Downstairs from the marina there was a clubhouse.โ€ There was a little store and a gas pump too, garbage and fire trucks, and a ferry that would come bearing newspapers.ย  Two of Sandyโ€™s favorite memories from the early days were walking all the way around the island in about an hour and a half during low tide and cutting down fresh Christmas trees from the uninhabited lots. + +But beyond the earliest stages, little of Morrisโ€™s dream materialized, beginning what led Pam, now a [University of Michigan history professor](https://lsa.umich.edu/history/people/faculty/pballing.html), to dub Ketron her โ€œ[island of broken dreams](https://www.seattletimes.com/opinion/ketron-my-island-of-broken-dreams/)โ€ decades later.ย  + +When J.C. Morris [died in 1967](http://alaskaobits.org/obituaries/view.php/J-C-Morris/id/1072), his son Donald took over his dadโ€™s business affairs, but didnโ€™t seem to share his fatherโ€™s interest in the island. Over the course of the following decade, the younger Morrisโ€™s island ventures went belly up and Gary Lundgren, an investor also from Alaska, became the de facto owner of the vast majority of island property. As Lundgren family lore has it, this was thanks to an original investment in the elder Morrisโ€™s vision by Lundgrenโ€™s father back in their Alaska days. + +By 1980, Lundgren had established [Ketron Island Enterprises, Inc.](https://opengovus.com/washington-corporation/601118849) to manage his new assets and assumed control of, among other things, the [islandโ€™s sewer and water systems](https://caselaw.findlaw.com/wa-court-of-appeals/1409336.html). But unlike J.C. Morris, Lundgren was mostly detached from the island. Eventually, after years of neglect, the sewer system sprung a leak and sewage began spilling into the Sound. In [late 1988](https://www.leagle.com/decision/19991919971p2d94811883), Lundgren informed the stateโ€™s Department of Ecology of the leak and the agency soon condemned the facility. + +Faced with a no longer functioning sewer system, the residents of Ketron Island adopted costly individual septic systems. In order to properly place the tanks among the islandโ€™s clay-filled soils and other geological barriers, many residents had to acquire additional parcels in order to outfit their existing homes. With this sweeping change, the last vestiges of J.C. Morrisโ€™s aspirations for the island were gone. Because of geography, geology, and resources, the 14 or so homes on the island at that time represent something of a natural cap on the number of dwellings that can exist on it today. + +#### An Island of Misfit Toys + +Left to their own devices in the vacuum of Lundgrenโ€™s absence, the small community began to coalesce into a beau monde of nature-loving individualists, and the heyday of Ketron began. + +Tiffs between neighbors cropped up here and there, but by and large a sense of camaraderie took hold. During the holidays, there were island-wide candy making parties and Christmas caroling extravaganzas along Ketronโ€™s gravel roads.ย  + +โ€œIf it was someoneโ€™s birthday, theyโ€™d call at the last minute and say, โ€˜Come have cake and ice cream!โ€™,โ€ Kathy recalls. โ€œI would get home from work and a neighbor would invite us to a party and youโ€™d come down in your pjโ€™s. Thatโ€™s just how we did things.โ€ย  + +Progressive dinners, each course served at a different house throughout the evening, were common. Islanders checked on each other after winter storms passed. One day in the โ€˜90s, Hollywood-style trailers appeared on the island, complete with a vast catering setup. Lee Jeans had decided to film [a 1995 commercial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJ0JLl9mJlI) on Ketron and the ferry that serves it. โ€œHereโ€™s this remote place that you think no one in the world knows about and here comes this Hollywood commercial,โ€ Bob recalls. โ€œIt kind of brought everyone together.โ€ The production crews gave islanders $100 for every car they could bring down to fill the ferry.The inconspicuous setting that spoke to Lee Jeans is also what drew Scott Maddox and his wife to Ketronโ€™s shores in 2001. A resourceful and skilled engineer who grew up helping out around his parentsโ€™ boat repair shop in Steilacoom, Scott has, over time, developed blue-collar handyman skills and a deep-running work ethic to match. On an island accessible only by private boat or a public ferry with dwindling service, โ€œyou learn pretty fast that you have to pitch in to get along. Nobody is out here on their own. No one is exempt from needing a stick of butter, a gallon of gas, or a ride across to the other side,โ€ he says.ย  + +โ€œIt has always been sink or swim out here. You have to have some sense of survivability or some skill to apply in order to survive and flourish.โ€ + +Itโ€™s the raw survival requirements of a life shrouded in remote nature that endeared my father-in-law, John Stewart, and his then-wife, Jane, to the island around the same time as the Maddoxes. A voracious reader, John has devoured almost all of Louis Lโ€™Amourโ€™s more than 100 books and 250 short stories, bewitched by the tales of cowboys and Indians set among the American frontier. His libertarian-bleeding-into-conservative sensibilities, fed by Lโ€™Amourโ€™s prose, were activated by life on Ketron. He has always loved the challenge of learning something new, and opportunities for doing so abound on the island. His self-educational efforts were limited to books and other traditional published materials until the internet came along and brought him YouTube, a resource he has turned to for everything from discovering new music to unearthing questionable โ€œfacts.โ€ย  + +Surrounded by family members and close friends of a more progressive persuasion, John is notorious for being not just set in his ideological ways, but endlessly optimistic that he can help others see the light. Yet he prizes commonalities over differences, an overarching sensibility that also characterized Ketron, which is how John and Bob came to be such great friends. + +โ€œWe explored our political dynamics. I tried to convince him to be something he wasnโ€™t and he tried to defend \[his position\]. He always had facts and people he cited. I didnโ€™t particularly believe the people he cited,โ€ Bob says of the far-from-factual conservative โ€œthinkersโ€ on which many of Johnโ€™s arguments tend to rest. Reliable sourcing, especially on the internet, has never been Johnโ€™s strong suit. But none of their philosophical differences got in the way of what united them.ย  + +โ€œI honestly felt like if there was a revolution in this country and we were on the island, John and I would be on the same side no matter what, that he would have my back and I would have hisโ€ฆ even if our political philosophies were diametrically opposed,โ€ Bob says. For him, talking politics is โ€œjust words. What we did together was what we did together,โ€ and that was taking in the breathtaking natural beauty around them. โ€œJohn and I really became close when we started kayaking and going out on the water,โ€ Bob explains. โ€œWeโ€™ve spent a lot of time without a lot of words, just watching awesome sunsets and the wildlife.โ€ + +While a revolution hasnโ€™t tested Bobโ€™s theory yet, an insidious invasion has. And, as predicted, Bob and John were squarely on the same side. + +Around the same time the Lee Jeans cameras were rolling, two new residents came to the island peddling a grand vision that rivaled Morrisโ€™s. Charles Fain, Chuck for short, and his girlfriend, Catherine Cooley, painted a picture of a real estate investment and development scheme that would transform Ketron into an upscale community dripping in fine amenities โ€” a golf course, a destination hotel, expanded ferry service. Naturally, Fainโ€™s plan would require a functioning sewer system, so he bought the rights to the defunct sewer system from Lungren and got to work. + +Even while crews began remodeling the clubhouse and gutting the swimming pool, Bob and others werenโ€™t convinced. โ€œWith my prison background, I sensed it right away because a lot of guys in prison, thatโ€™s just how they talk. They almost believe \[in their own schemes\] themselves,โ€ Bob says.ย  + +Between 1994 and 1998, while hawking their grand chimera of a remastered Ketron, the duo was busy taking advantage of residents who had homes on the island but werenโ€™t living there full time. Willing sellers were referred to the coupleโ€™s escrow company, but after signing the closing documents, sellers were told that the company didnโ€™t have the necessary funding and that the sales had been withdrawn. What the sellers didnโ€™t know, though, was that Fain and Cooley used the signed closing documents to fraudulently transfer the titles of 13 properties to their businessesโ€™ names. Meanwhile, next to nothing of the vision they sold materialized. + +Fain and Cooley pleaded innocent when they were indicted by a federal grand jury in early 2001 on 23 counts of conspiracy, mail fraud, and bank fraud that investigators estimate cost Ketronians roughly $2 million. That summer, the two-week bench trial resulted in guilty convictions for both on 11 of the 23 counts and, by December, Fain and Cooley had been sentenced to 10 years and 7.5 years in prison respectively alongside an order to pay $1.3 million in restitution.ย  + +The threat to the islandโ€™s imprecise way of life posed by Fain caused the islanders to galvanize in a novel way. They realized that the utilities they relied on couldnโ€™t remain vulnerable to the fickle interests of outsiders, so they organized. The homeowners of the time paid what they could, most chipping in around $5,000. For around $20,000 total, the majority of the islandโ€™s residents assumed ownership of the road and water systems, establishing Ketron Island Water Incorporated, KIWI for short, to house them with one dollar of investment translating to one share in the company.ย  + +โ€œHere are a bunch of desperate homeowners. All they know is they need water and the roads,โ€ explains Ron Sheckler, a 69-year-old ex-Army guy with a lingering penchant for intelligence gathering and Ketron resident since 2000. โ€œThis was an unprecedented act of solidarity on the part of the individuals on the island.โ€ย  + +Unlike Bob, Ron went running full speed into the Vietnam War. โ€œIt was the โ€˜60s. Half my buddies had burned their draft cards and they were pitiful. All they could do was afford to live at home in their parentsโ€™ basement and complain about shit. And the other half, they were on the GI Bill. They partied every weekend, girls were coming and going. I said, thatโ€™s the life for me,โ€ Ron recalls. + +![](https://i0.wp.com/sundaylongread.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/083122_SundayLongRead_KetronIsland_JovelleTamayo_040.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&ssl=1) + +Ron Sheckler with his animals on his property on Ketron Island, Wash., on Wednesday, Aug. 31, 2022. *Jovelle Tamayo for Sunday Long Read* + +He started out in the 82nd Airborne Division before being shuttled into the Special Forces where he served as an engineer responsible for โ€œexplosive, demolitions, field fortifications, and the analysis of industrial infrastructure for offensive targetingโ€ with a specialty in โ€œthe analysis and disruption of critical infrastructure in conflict areas,โ€ he says. โ€œA long, long time before the movie *Rambo* came out, I was a Green Beret who could fly a helicopter. Then *Rambo* came out and everyone thought it was rather funny and started calling me Ronbo.โ€ย  + +(Ron has no perceptible affection for the nickname.) + +He lives alone on Ketron, after his wife โ€œdecided that her retirement was more oriented to shopping and spas, not homesteading,โ€ he says, but he has the company of a jolly and ever-so-slightly overweight chocolate lab who patrols the makeshift barriers (an echo of his Army days) on the road in front of his home.ย  + +His knowledge of the island is another vestige of his service. He first moved to the island in the wake of the KIWI drama and busied himself with gathering intel on his new home.ย  + +Itโ€™s Ronโ€™s position that โ€œthereโ€™s no sensible structure that would include roads and water together,โ€ yet theyโ€™re a package deal under the umbrella of KIWI, an organization that the islanders were now faced with actually administering.ย  + +Like any enterprise, KIWI has officers charged with carrying out its functions: ensuring that the company is registered and up to date with the secretary of state ([itโ€™s currently delinquent](https://www.sos.wa.gov/corps/business.aspx?ubi=601930825)), taking water samples, filing annual reports, and overseeing the maintenance of the aging system. Because no one is particularly interested in assuming the burden of leading KIWI, people who donโ€™t show up to meetings are often elected to be the next yearโ€™s president.ย  + +In the years since its creation, KIWI has prompted many disagreements. The original intention was to ensure that only property owners could have KIWI shares, but compliance efforts were few and far between. Over time, โ€œwe kind of lost control of the shares and how they were distributed,โ€ says KIWIโ€™s current [registered agent](https://ccfs.sos.wa.gov/#/BusinessSearch/BusinessInformation), Bob. Today shares are still generally concentrated among owners, but many are scattered to the wind after changing hands in various ways. Sandy, whose family went against the suburban grain with a weekend cabin on Ketron in the โ€˜60s, suspects she might have some left over from her familyโ€™s time there that expired in the early 2010s.ย  + +#### An Island of Contradictions + +Peter Brigham moved to Ketron in 2012 and felt right at home. Fresh off a stint in Brazil, where his wife, Daniella, got her JD, the couple and their Rottweiler puppy Segundo settled into their new, cliffside home. Ketron reminded Peter โ€” a 50-year-old day trader who retired at 49, a feat that serves in part as a thumbing of his nose to anyone who looks down on those with humble beginnings โ€” of his childhood in the rural American South. + +โ€œWhat really locked it in for me was the view. My house has an absolutely jaw-on-your-chest, 170-degree panoramic viewโ€ฆ It has dominated my experience of this property and the island,โ€ he says, unveiling the oozing esteem he has for the orcas that swim through Ketronโ€™s waters, the eagles that cast shadows over his porch as they soar above, and the sea lions on its shores who roar like drunken sailors.ย  + +โ€œIt gets me out of my own head and makes me realize how small I am. And once you realize youโ€™re insignificant and small, your actions have significantly less future burden on you and your anxiety lessens because you see that my place in the world is, well, just not that important,โ€ he expounds. What started as an adventurous experience of living on what he described as a deserted island soon gave way to the realities of living in such a remote place. As he puts it, itโ€™s a five-hour trip to the closest Starbucks. + +The ferry service to Ketron โ€” the only way the island can be accessed without the help of a private watercraft โ€” has dwindled since the early โ€˜80s. Ketron enjoyed nine daily trips until 1981, when Pierce County slashed service to just two trips a day. Service to Ketron has been more or less in flux since then. Most recently, the landing dock on Ketron has been broken for months, necessitating a generator to power it in order to match the tides. Special service runs with shorter turnaround times designed to make accessing resources on the mainland easier have come and gone. Direct trips to Steilacoom have been swapped for an hour-long route that stops at Anderson Island.ย  + +Today, Ketron residents who want to leave have to reserve a spot on one of the ferryโ€™s [three daily trips](https://www.piercecountywa.gov/2200/Ferry-Schedule) spread between 5:45 a.m. and 8:15 p.m.ย  + +![](https://i0.wp.com/sundaylongread.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/083122_SundayLongRead_KetronIsland_JovelleTamayo_036.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&ssl=1) + +A Pierce County ferry passes Tiffany Lundgrenโ€™s beachfront property on Ketron Island, Wash., on Wednesday, Aug. 31, 2022. *Jovelle Tamayo for Sunday Long Read* + +โ€œPierce County absolutely does not give one wet shit what happens on this rock,โ€ Peter has come to believe. โ€œI moved here from Brazil, a place known for being an absolute bureaucratic nightmare where the government hoovers up everything and does nothing. You know what? The bullshit government in Brazil that I had to deal with, even in this tiny cow town that nobody can find on a map and nobodyโ€™s ever heard of, was better than here.โ€ + +In 2015, around a particularly dry Fourth of July, a fellow resident [set his home on fire](https://www.kiro7.com/news/detectives-say-man-set-his-own-home-fire-fireworks/28692549/) with fireworks. โ€œWe called 911 and asked if they could send a firetruck. Do you know what the county said? โ€˜No, weโ€™ll pick you up from the dock if the whole island catches fire,โ€™โ€ Peter recalls. โ€œWhat did we do? We said โ€˜fine, we donโ€™t need you.โ€™ We put that house fire out and kept it from getting up in the canopy.โ€ + +Albeit in the face of lackluster government services, collective affairs have come to be the exception rather than the rule on Ketron. โ€œOver the past 10 years, thereโ€™s been a marked change. We donโ€™t clear the roads together anymore,โ€ Peter says. The โ€œfamily feelโ€ that Scott Maddox remembers has waned.ย  + +As new owners come to Ketron, they tend to skew younger than the largely retirement-age communities of the past. โ€œThe biggest dividing line is age. The older you are, the better off you are going to be on Ketron. When I moved here, the average age was almost dead. But those old people, their bodies were falling apart but they knew exactly what to do. I watched Bob Barrett, age 72, climb up on top of a 40-foot standpipe,โ€ Peter says. โ€œWho has what it takes to be out here? Itโ€™s people who have lived in the country. Itโ€™s people who are older. Itโ€™s people who work with their hands.โ€ + +This is the enigma of Ketron Island, an eternal push and pull between what is and what could be; what people come in search forโ€”what they dream ofโ€”and what is. What makes it insufferable is also what makes it magnetic. The draw of a Walden Pond just across the Sound speaks to a yearning lodged deep in the American psyche. + +โ€œThey want to be out here where theyโ€™re free. But thatโ€™s the paradox of freedom. Youโ€™re free at the same time that Iโ€™m free at the same time that all these other yahoos are free. And your freedom is going to impinge on mine and mine is going to impinge on yours,โ€ Peter says. โ€œBut you cannot buy geographical access to freedom. Thatโ€™s one of the fallacies of living out here.โ€ + +What Ketron is for Peter, though, is a desirable place thatโ€™s small enough that one person with above average means can dominate it. โ€œKetron needs a benevolent fascist dictator,โ€ he says, โ€œbecause democracy doesnโ€™t work out here. It doesnโ€™t work at all.โ€ + +That person has been J.C. Morris. That person, in some way, has been Gary Lundgren. That person has been Chuck Fain and his romantic sidekick. That next person, who might just be the benevolent dictator that Peter thinks Ketron needs, comes in the form of Lundgrenโ€™s daughter โ€” if she can overcome the QAnon sectarians and a more recent islander, a lawyer ready to use the law to her advantage, that stand in her way. + +![](https://i0.wp.com/sundaylongread.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/083122_SundayLongRead_KetronIsland_JovelleTamayo_032.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&ssl=1) + +Tiffany Lundgren poses for a portrait on her beachfront property on Ketron Island, Wash., on Wednesday, Aug. 31, 2022. *Jovelle Tamayo for Sunday Long Read* + +Young Tiffany Lundgren spent many summer days on Ketron Island in the late โ€˜70s and early โ€˜80s before her parents split. Her dad remained a majority landowner of the over 90 parcels that still remain in his and Tiffanyโ€™s name ever since, but the Lundgrensโ€™ physical presence on the island was sparse until a recent tragedy involving Lundgren property required her attention. + +While her father might have some unsavory qualities that got him [banned from continuing his investing work with most U.S. firms](https://www.finra.org/sites/default/files/NAC-FPI150009-Lundgren-021816_0.pdf), islanders speak kindly of Tiffany. Known as โ€œT Twoโ€ alongside another unrelated Tiffany on the island during her childhood, today sheโ€™s an effusive optimist with a contagious reverence for submitting to the grand plans of the universe.ย  Sheโ€™s a fetching blonde whose youthful appearance and bubbly demeanor belies her middle age. Everything happens for a reason in Tiffanyโ€™s world, including the event that would bring her back to Ketronโ€™s shores, an affair that started on the tarmac of the Seattle-Tacoma airport 40 miles to the north. + +On a warm and clear August day in 2018, [Richard Russell](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/aug/12/richard-russell-quiet-well-liked-seattle-airport-worker-who-stole-a-plane), a 28-year old Alaska Airlines groundworker without a pilotโ€™s license, made his way into the cockpit of an empty Horizon Air Q400 turboprop passenger plane around 7:30 p.m. Russellโ€™s typical duties entailed loading baggage onto short haul flights and occasionally towing planes, but on that day he took to the air with knowledge heโ€™d [gleaned from video games](https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/12/us/richard-russell-q400-flight-simulator.html). + +After an [unauthorized takeoff](https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/beebo-russell-seattle-plane-theft-true-story-1187023/), Russell circled the skies for a little over an hour, taking in views of Mount Rainier and the nearby Olympics, [describing them as beautiful](https://www.geekwire.com/about-geekwire/) in conversation with air traffic controllers trying to persuade him to come back down. As he circled the skies with F-15 fighter jets trailing behind, Russell apologized to loved ones. โ€œI would like to apologize to each and every one of them,โ€ Russell said before crashing the plane on Ketron some two hours after he stepped foot into the cockpit.ย  + +A fire lit up the south side of the island where the 76-seat plane hit. This time the government did respond and, with the [help of islanders like Ron](https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/ketron-island-resident-recognized-for-his-actions-after-deadly-plane-crash/281-605236973), put the blaze out. After a [prolonged negotiation](https://www.koaa.com/news/2018/10/01/stolen-plane-crash-debris-remains-on-ketron-island/) with Alaska Airlines, which owns Horizon, over the cleanup of the debris that was only recently resolved, today a clearing in the trees that has grown into a meadow, a few pieces of metal lodged into thick and scaly bark, and a small memorial composed of a framed photo of Russell are all that remain of the crash. That and Tiffanyโ€™s more permanent presence on Ketron. Her return began with managing the cleanup and legal fallout from the crash on her property and, over the weeks and months that followed, blossomed into a reconnection with the island of her childhood. While her parents didnโ€™t spend much time on Ketron, it still held the fondness of a childhood home. + +![](https://i0.wp.com/sundaylongread.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/083122_SundayLongRead_KetronIsland_JovelleTamayo_014.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&ssl=1) + +A memorial for Richard Russell, who in 2018 stole and crashed a plane on Ketron Island, Wash., on Wednesday, Aug. 31, 2022. *Jovelle Tamayo for Sunday Long Read* + +The memorial made by Russellโ€™s family has had to shrink over the years thanks to an unexpected obsession with the crash. Convinced that Russell flew in a Q-shaped formation and fueled by Gary Lundgrenโ€™s [business and legal entanglements with Donald Trump](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-demands-75-million-from-panama-condo-owners/) and coincidences like the Bombardier planeโ€™s Q400 title, QAnon fanatics have sunk their conspiracy-peddling teeth [into the event](https://heavy.com/news/2018/08/richard-russell-conspiracy-theories/) with their signature imbecilic fervor.ย  + +โ€œWeโ€™re all still trying to battle the weirdos that come on \[to the island\] because of the crash. Thatโ€™s been the hardest thing for me,โ€ Tiffany says. Just last summer, alone save for her two small dogs while collecting firewood near the crash site, she came across two men who had scaled the cliffs from a boat below. โ€œThey wanted to see the crash and they started coming towards me,โ€ she recalls. โ€œIt scared the hell out of me because they were like, โ€˜Are you Tiffany Lundgren?โ€™โ€ + +Drones flying over the site have also become a painfully common occurrence. โ€œIโ€™ve had to put up cameras everywhere,โ€ she says. The cameras have had to come with no trespassing signs, too. But they donโ€™t apply to residents, Tiffany says, just frenzied plane crash enthusiasts. + +#### An Island of Uncertainty + +Tiffany has more than strangers from the internet to contend with. In recent years a lawyer has made a home on the island, a turn of events that originally delighted Ron. โ€œI thought this was a great development for the community which had been just a group of ramshackle individuals fumbling along,โ€ he says. โ€œIt turned out very soon that she was not there to play that role.โ€ + +Instead, the lawyer made quick enemies with a number of residents, from Ron, over shares of the water company, to my father-in-law John, who loathed what he saw as her unfair wielding of the law to impinge on her less legally sophisticated neighbors. One of her most recent [legal tiffs](https://linxonline.co.pierce.wa.us/linxweb/Case/CivilCase.cfm?cause_num=20-2-06634-1) has been a quiet title battle with Tiffany over a parcel of adjacent land. After a years-long legal back-and-forth during which many of the islandโ€™s residents testified in Tiffanyโ€™s favor, Tiffany emerged victorious earlier this year. โ€œI didnโ€™t fight that battle for me. I fought it because she has threatened and tormented every person on the island,โ€ Tiffany explains. The lawyer, who declined to comment on this story, is appealing.ย  + +Even with judicial hassles raging in the background, Tiffany is undeterred from breathing new life into the island, the same new life she found when she came back to the island after the plane crash. โ€œI realize that I was brought back here for a reason,โ€ she says. Personally, being back on the island has given her a chance to work through heartbreaking memories from Ketron, including the final moments of her parentsโ€™ marriage. More broadly speaking, her return, complete with her familyโ€™s resources, has brought a counterbalance to the push of the lawyerโ€™s previously unmatched presence on Ketron. + +Today Tiffany spends most weekends on Ketron in a metallic Airstream perched atop the same cement foundation that once supported a small cement plant that Morris erected to manufacture his grand vision. Sheโ€™s taken to inviting her neighbors to sunset movie nights, complete with popcorn machines, down on the beach โ€” itโ€™s the same place where islanders used to have bonfires during Ketronโ€™s social apogee a few decades back; the place where Bob and John bonded over their love of nature more than they fractured over political dissimilarities. + +Peter sees a risk of things heading in a different direction. Not only is climate change eroding the island, the changing tides of time are doing their work. Ketron isnโ€™t immune to the [rancid polarization](https://www.brown.edu/news/2020-01-21/polarization) and increasingly [digitized](https://www.brookings.edu/research/digitalization-and-the-american-workforce/) [way](https://reports.weforum.org/digital-transformation/understanding-the-impact-of-digitalization-on-society/) [of life](https://www.un.org/en/un75/impact-digital-technologies) of the mainland. Unlike previous generations, people today are less equipped to live out the remote lifestyles they romanticize. โ€œThey donโ€™t want to have to rely on their neighbors. They donโ€™t trust their neighbors. They donโ€™t necessarily like them. They donโ€™t see what they have in common with their neighbors,โ€ Peter says. โ€œThey donโ€™t see that weโ€™re all in the same boat, weโ€™re all on the same island, we all need to get along.โ€ + +![](https://i0.wp.com/sundaylongread.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/083122_SundayLongRead_KetronIsland_JovelleTamayo_010-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&ssl=1) + +Madrona trees on Ketron. *Jovelle Tamayo for Sunday Long Read* + +As we collectively spend more time on [knowledge work than manual labor](https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2016/10/06/1-changes-in-the-american-workplace/), the skills it takes to live life on Ketron are dissolving. โ€œ\[People\] come out here and they canโ€™t figure out how to do anything. They donโ€™t know how to run a chainsaw. They donโ€™t know where the four-wheel drive lever is in the bottom of their truck. They donโ€™t know how to rebuild a car. They canโ€™t push a lawn mower for three hours,โ€ Peter explains. โ€œThe knowledge of how to fix \[the water system\] resides with about four guys. It used to reside with five and one of them died. Eventually the others are going to die too, and then nobody can fix it.โ€ + +The person who died was John, my father-in-law.ย  + +He had a heart attack in a parking lot while running errands for work and with him went an incarnate part of Ketron.ย  + +At his funeral on a cool day on the mainland in early November when the pastor opened up the podium to the guests, Bob Barrett strode effortlessly to the pulpit in front of Johnโ€™s sparse pine casket. It was draped in a red and umber wool blanket underneath hand-selected flowers โ€” simple and sublime, just the way John would have wanted it. Bob delivered a heartfelt speech laced with unrehearsed memories of his late friend and the time they spent together on the water. + +Conventional wisdom may hold that innovation comes from forward-focused global centers like Silicon Valley. But itโ€™s actually places like Ketron, the fringes of society rather than the center of it, where true ingenuity is born โ€” the kind that doesnโ€™t seek accolades, acknowledgement, or profit; the kind that solves real problems for practicalityโ€™s sake rather than retrofits a product with a manufactured need. This kind of necessary creativity comes from remote places that lack the formality and structure that otherwise force novel concepts into acceptable forms. With John gone and neighbors like Bob, Kathy, Ron, and others only increasing in age, the future of Ketron Island is uncertain. Whatโ€™s to come can only be known and made by the people who take their place.ย  + +One thing is for sure, though: โ€œThey just donโ€™t make any small islands with properties on it that are obtainable anymore,โ€ Ron says. โ€œIn that regard, Ketron is kind of frozen in time.โ€ + +*This story was made possible by the support ofย **Sunday Long Read subscribers**ย and publishing partnerย **Ruth Ann Harnisch**.

A long time ago, on Valentineโ€™s Day, 1989, Iranโ€™s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, declared Rushdieโ€™s novel โ€œThe Satanic Versesโ€ blasphemous and issued a fatwa ordering the execution of its author and โ€œall those involved in its publication.โ€ Rushdie, a resident of London, spent the next decade [in a fugitive existence](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/09/17/the-disappeared), under constant police protection. But after settling in New York, in 2000, he lived freely, insistently unguarded. He refused to be terrorized. + +There were times, though, when the lingering threat made itself apparent, and not merely on the lunatic reaches of the Internet. In 2012, during the annual autumn gathering of world leaders at the United Nations, I joined a small meeting of reporters with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the President of Iran, and I asked him if the multimillion-dollar bounty that an Iranian foundation had placed on Rushdieโ€™s head had been rescinded. Ahmadinejad smiled with a glint of malice. โ€œSalman Rushdie, where is he now?โ€ he said. โ€œThere is no news of him. Is he in the United States? If he is in the U.S., you shouldnโ€™t broadcast that, for his own safety.โ€ + +Within a year, Ahmadinejad was out of office and out of favor with the mullahs. Rushdie went on living as a free man. The years passed. He wrote book after book, taught, lectured, travelled, met with readers, married, divorced, and became a fixture in the city that was his adopted home. If he ever felt the need for some vestige of anonymity, he wore a baseball cap. + +Recalling his first few months in New York, Rushdie told me, โ€œPeople were scared to be around me. I thought, The only way I can stop that is to behave as if Iโ€™m not scared. I have to show them thereโ€™s nothing to be scared about.โ€ One night, he went out to dinner with Andrew Wylie, his agent and friend, at Nick & Toniโ€™s, an extravagantly conspicuous restaurant in East Hampton. The painter Eric Fischl stopped by their table and said, โ€œShouldnโ€™t we all be afraid and leave the restaurant?โ€ + +โ€œWell, Iโ€™m having dinner,โ€ Rushdie replied. โ€œYou can do what you like.โ€ + +Fischl hadnโ€™t meant to offend, but sometimes there was a tone of derision in press accounts of Rushdieโ€™s โ€œindefatigable presence on the New York night-life scene,โ€ as Laura M. Holson put it in the *Times*. Some people thought he should have adopted a more austere posture toward his predicament. Would Solzhenitsyn have gone onstage with Bono or danced the night away at Moomba? + +Listen: Salman Rushdie speaks with David Remnick on The New Yorker Radio Hour. + +For Rushdie, keeping a low profile would be capitulation. He was a social being and would live as he pleased. He even tried to render the fatwa ridiculous. Six years ago, he played himself in an episode of โ€œCurb Your Enthusiasmโ€ in which Larry David provokes threats from Iran for mocking the Ayatollah while promoting his upcoming production โ€œFatwa! The Musical.โ€ David is terrified, but Rushdieโ€™s character assures him that life under an edict of execution, though it can be โ€œscary,โ€ also makes a man alluring to women. โ€œItโ€™s not exactly you, itโ€™s the fatwa wrapped around you, like sexy pixie dust!โ€ he says. + +With every public gesture, it appeared, Rushdie was determined to show that he would not merely survive but flourish, at his desk and on the town. โ€œThere was no such thing as absolute security,โ€ he wrote in his third-person memoir, โ€œ[Joseph Anton](https://www.amazon.com/Joseph-Anton-Memoir-Salman-Rushdie/dp/0812982606/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3NJZLAB9MP5PN&keywords=joseph+anton&qid=1675699553&s=books&sprefix=joseph+anton%2Cstripbooks%2C138&sr=1-1),โ€ published in 2012. โ€œThere were only varying degrees of insecurity. He would have to learn to live with that.โ€ He well understood that his demise would not require the coรถrdinated efforts of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps or Hezbollah; a cracked loner could easily do the job. โ€œBut I had come to feel that it was a very long time ago, and that the world moves on,โ€ he told me. + +In September, 2021, Rushdie married the poet and novelist Rachel Eliza Griffiths, whom heโ€™d met six years earlier, at a *PEN* event. It was his fifth marriage, and a happy one. They spent the pandemic together productively. By last July, Rushdie had made his final corrections on a new novel, titled โ€œ[Victory City](https://www.amazon.com/Victory-City-Novel-Salman-Rushdie/dp/0593243390/ref=sr_1_1?crid=24WPTND8HE2X1&keywords=Victory+City&qid=1675699589&s=books&sprefix=victory+city%2Cstripbooks%2C124&sr=1-1).โ€ + +One of the sparks for the novel was a trip decades ago to the town of Hampi, in South India, the site of the ruins of the medieval Vijayanagara empire. โ€œVictory City,โ€ which is presented as a recovered medieval Sanskrit epic, is the story of a young girl named Pampa Kampana, who, after witnessing the death of her mother, acquires divine powers and conjures into existence a glorious metropolis called Bisnaga, in which women resist patriarchal rule and religious tolerance prevails, at least for a while. The novel, firmly in the tradition of the wonder tale, draws on Rushdieโ€™s readings in Hindu mythology and in the history of South Asia. + +โ€œThe first kings of Vijayanagara announced, quite seriously, that they were descended from the moon,โ€ Rushdie said. โ€œSo when these kings, Harihara and Bukka, announce that theyโ€™re members of the lunar dynasty, theyโ€™re basically associating themselves with those great heroes. Itโ€™s like saying, โ€˜Iโ€™ve descended from the same family as Achilles.โ€™ Or Agamemnon. And so I thought, Well, if you could say that, I can say anything.โ€ + +Above all, the book is buoyed by the character of Pampa Kampana, who, Rushdie says, โ€œjust showed up in my headโ€ and gave him his story, his sense of direction. The pleasure for Rushdie in writing the novel was in โ€œworld buildingโ€ and, at the same time, writing about a character building that world: โ€œItโ€™s me doing it, but itโ€™s also her doing it.โ€ The pleasure is infectious. โ€œVictory Cityโ€ is an immensely enjoyable novel. It is also an affirmation. At the end, with the great city in ruins, what is left is not the storyteller but her words: + +> *I, Pampa Kampana, am the author of this book. +> I have lived to see an empire rise and fall. +> How are they remembered now, these kings, these queens? +> They exist now only in wordsย .ย .ย . +> I myself am nothing now. All that remains is this city of words. +> Words are the only victors.* + +It is hard not to read this as a credo of sorts. Over the years, Rushdieโ€™s friends have marvelled at his ability to write amid the fury unleashed on him. [Martin Amis](https://www.newyorker.com/tag/martin-amis) has said that, if he were in his shoes, โ€œI would, by now, be a tearful and tranquilized three-hundred-pounder, with no eyelashes or nostril hairs.โ€ And yet โ€œVictory Cityโ€ is Rushdieโ€™s sixteenth book since the fatwa. + +He was pleased with the finished manuscript and was getting encouragement from friends who had read it. (โ€œI think โ€˜Victory Cityโ€™ will be one of his books that will last,โ€ the novelist Hari Kunzru told me.) During the pandemic, Rushdie had also completed a play about Helen of Troy, and he was already toying with an idea for another novel. Heโ€™d reread Thomas Mannโ€™s โ€œ[The Magic Mountain](https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Mountain-Everymans-Library/dp/1400044219/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1675699775&sr=1-1)โ€ and Franz Kafkaโ€™s โ€œ[The Castle](https://www.amazon.com/Castle-Franz-Kafka/dp/0805211063/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1732FC5ADBAT1&keywords=The+Castle+kafka&qid=1675699800&s=books&sprefix=the+castle+kafk%2Cstripbooks%2C88&sr=1-1),โ€ novels that deploy a naturalistic language to evoke strange, hermetic worldsโ€”an alpine sanatorium, a remote provincial bureaucracy. Rushdie thought about using a similar approach to create a peculiar imaginary college as his setting. He started keeping notes. In the meantime, he looked forward to a peaceful summer and, come winter, a publicity tour to promote โ€œVictory City.โ€ + +[](https://www.newyorker.com/cartoon/a27204) + +โ€œWe bought the place sight unseen and then were informed it came with at least nine endangered species.โ€ + +Cartoon by Edward Koren + +On August 11th, Rushdie arrived for a speaking engagement at the Chautauqua Institution, situated on an idyllic property bordering a lake in southwestern New York State. There, for nine weeks every summer, a prosperous crowd intent on self-improvement and fresh air comes to attend lectures, courses, screenings, performances, and readings. Chautauqua has been a going concern since 1874. Franklin Roosevelt delivered his โ€œI hate warโ€ speech there, in 1936. Over the years, Rushdie has occasionally suffered from nightmares, and a couple of nights before the trip he dreamed of someone, โ€œlike a gladiator,โ€ attacking him with โ€œa sharp object.โ€ But no midnight portent was going to keep him home. Chautauqua was a wholesome venue, with cookouts, magic shows, and Sunday school. One donor described it to me as โ€œthe safest place on earth.โ€ + +Rushdie had agreed to appear onstage with his friend Henry Reese. Eighteen years ago, Rushdie helped Reese raise funds to create City of Asylum, a program in Pittsburgh that supports authors who have been driven into exile. On the morning of August 12th, Rushdie had breakfast with Reese and some donors on the porch of the Athenaeum Hotel, a Victorian pile near the lake. At the table, he told jokes and stories, admitting that he sometimes ordered books from Amazon even if he felt a little guilty about it. With mock pride, he bragged about his speed as a signer of books, though he had to concede that Amy Tan was quicker: โ€œBut she has an advantage, because her name is so short.โ€ + +A crowd of more than a thousand was gathering at the amphitheatre. It was shorts-and-polo-shirt weather, sunny and clear. On the way into the venue, Reese introduced Rushdie to his ninety-three-year-old mother, and then they headed for the greenroom to spend time organizing their talk. The plan was to discuss the cultural hybridity of the imagination in contemporary literature, show some slides and describe City of Asylum, and, finally, open things up for questions. + +At 10:45ย *A.M.*, Rushdie and Reese took their places onstage, settling into yellow armchairs. Off to the side, Sony Ton-Aime, a poet and the director of the literary-arts program at Chautauqua, stepped to a lectern to introduce the talk. At 10:47, there was a commotion. A young man ran down the aisle and climbed onto the stage. He was dressed all in black and armed with a knife. + +Rushdie grew up in Bombay in a hillside villa with a view of the Arabian Sea. The family was Muslim, but secular. They were wealthy, though less so over time. Salmanโ€™s father, Anis Ahmed Rushdie, was a textile manufacturer who, according to his son, had the business acumen of a โ€œfour-year-old child.โ€ But, for all his flaws, Rushdieโ€™s father read to him from the โ€œgreat wonder tales of the East,โ€ including the stories of Scheherazade in the โ€œThousand and One Nights,โ€ the Sanskrit animal fables of the Panchatantra, and the exploits of Amir Hamza, an uncle of the Prophet Muhammad. Salman became obsessed with stories; they were his most valued inheritance. He spent countless hours at his local bookstore, Readerโ€™s Paradise. In time, he devoured the two vast Sanskrit epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata; the Greek and Roman myths; and the adventures of Bertie Wooster and Jeeves. + +Nothing was sacred to young Rushdie, not even the stories with religious origins, but on some level he believed them all. He was particularly enraptured by the polytheistic storytelling traditions in which the gods behave badly, weirdly, hilariously. He was taken by a Hindu tale, the Samudra Manthan, in which gods and demons churn the Milky Way so that the stars release *amrita*, the nectar of immortality. He would look up at the night sky and imagine the nectar falling toward him. โ€œMaybe if I opened my mouth,โ€ he said to himself, โ€œa drop might fall in and then I would be immortal, too.โ€ + +Later, Rushdie learned from the oral traditions as well. On a trip to Kerala, in South India, he listened to professional storytellers spin tales at outdoor gatherings where large crowds paid a few rupees and sat on the ground to listen for hours. What especially interested Rushdie was the style of these fabulists: circuitous, digressive, improvisational. โ€œTheyโ€™ve got three or four narrative balls in the air at any given moment, and they just juggle them,โ€ he said. That, too, fed his imagination and, eventually, his sense of the novelโ€™s possibilities. + +At the age of thirteen, Rushdie was sent off to Rugby, a centuries-old British boarding school. There were three mistakes a boarder could make in those days, as he came to see it: be foreign, be clever, and be bad at games. He was all three. He was decidedly happier as a university student. At Kingโ€™s College, Cambridge, he met several times with E.ย M. Forster, the author of โ€œ[Howards End](https://www.amazon.com/Howards-End-Warbler-Classics-Annotated/dp/1954525893/ref=sr_1_5?crid=KAP1JSIOS9WB&keywords=E.+M.+Forster+howards+end&qid=1675700299&s=books&sprefix=e.+m.+forster+howards+end%2Cstripbooks%2C94&sr=1-5)โ€ and โ€œ[A Passage to India](https://www.amazon.com/Passage-India-Warbler-Classics-Annotated/dp/1954525915/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1NL2XMZSC91QU&keywords=A+Passage+to+India&qid=1675700323&s=books&sprefix=a+passage+to+india%2Cstripbooks%2C75&sr=1-3).โ€ โ€œHe was very encouraging when he heard that I wanted to be a writer,โ€ Rushdie told me. โ€œAnd he said something which I treasured, which is that he felt that the great novel of India would be written by somebody from India with a Western education. + +โ€œI hugely admire โ€˜A Passage to India,โ€™ because it was an anti-colonial book at a time when it was not at all fashionable to be anti-colonial,โ€ he went on. โ€œWhat I kind of rebelled against was Forsterian English, which is very cool and meticulous. I thought, If thereโ€™s one thing that India is not, itโ€™s not cool. Itโ€™s hot and noisy and crowded and excessive. How do you find a language thatโ€™s like that?โ€ + +As an undergraduate, Rushdie studied history, taking particular interest in the history of India, the United States, and Islam. Along the way, he read about the โ€œSatanic verses,โ€ an episode in which the Prophet Muhammad (โ€œone of the great geniuses of world history,โ€ Rushdie wrote years later) is said to have been deceived by Satan and made a proclamation venerating three goddesses; he soon reversed himself after the Archangel Gabriel revealed this deception, and the verses were expunged from the sacred record. The story raised many questions. The verses about the three goddesses had, it was said, initially been popular in Mecca, so why were they discredited? Was it to do with their subjects being female? Had Muhammad somehow flirted with polytheism, making the โ€œrevelationโ€ false and satanic? โ€œI thought, Good story,โ€ Rushdie said. โ€œI found out later how good.โ€ He filed it away for later use. + +After graduating from Cambridge, Rushdie moved to London and set to work as a writer. He wrote novels and stories, along with glowing reviews of his future work which, as he later noted, โ€œoffered a fleeting, onanistic comfort, usually followed by a pang of shame.โ€ There was a great deal of typing, finishing, and then stashing away the results. One novel, โ€œThe Antagonist,โ€ was heavily influenced by Thomas Pynchon and featured a secondary character named Saleem Sinai, who was born at midnight August 14-15, 1947, the moment of Indian independence. (More for the file.) Another misfire, โ€œMadame Rama,โ€ took aim at Indira Gandhi, who had imposed emergency rule in India. โ€œ[Grimus](https://www.amazon.com/Grimus-Novel-Modern-Library-Paperbacks/dp/0812969995/ref=sr_1_1?crid=ARWH8KK71LG3&keywords=Grimus&qid=1675700407&s=books&sprefix=grims%2Cstripbooks%2C96&sr=1-1)โ€ (1975), Rushdieโ€™s first published novel, was a sci-fi fantasy based on a twelfth-century Sufi narrative poem called โ€œThe Conference of the Birds.โ€ It attracted a few admirers, Ursula K. Le Guin among them, but had tepid reviews and paltry sales. + +To underwrite this ever-lengthening apprenticeship, Rushdie, like [F.ย Scott Fitzgerald](https://www.newyorker.com/tag/f-scott-fitzgerald), Joseph Heller, and Don DeLillo, worked in advertising, notably at the firm Ogilvy & Mather. He wrote copy extolling the virtues of the *Daily Mirror*, Scotch Magic Tape, and Aero chocolate bars. He found the work easy. He has always been partial to puns, alliteration, limericks, wordplay of all kinds. In fact, as he approached his thirtieth birthday, his best-known achievement in letters was his campaign on behalf of Aero, โ€œthe bubbliest milk chocolate you can buy.โ€ He indelibly described the aerated candy bar as โ€œAdorabubble,โ€ โ€œDelectabubble,โ€ โ€œIrresistabubble,โ€ and, when placed in store windows, โ€œAvailabubble here.โ€ + +But advertising was hardly his lifeโ€™s ambition, and Rushdie now embarked on an โ€œall or nothingโ€ project. He went to India for an extended trip, a reimmersion in the subcontinent, with endless bus rides and countless conversations. It revived something in him; as he put it, โ€œa world came flooding back.โ€ Here was the hot and noisy Bombay English that heโ€™d been looking for. In 1981, when Rushdie was thirty-three, he published โ€œ[Midnightโ€™s Children](https://www.amazon.com/Midnights-Children-Modern-Library-Novels/dp/0812976533/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3TMKBP3RW60GG&keywords=Midnight%E2%80%99s+Children&qid=1675700639&s=books&sprefix=midnights+children%2Cstripbooks%2C137&sr=1-1),โ€ an autobiographical-national epic of Bombay and the rise of post-colonial India. The opening of the novel is a remarkable instance of a unique voice announcing itself: + +> I was born in the city of Bombayย .ย .ย . once upon a time. No, that wonโ€™t do, thereโ€™s no getting away from the date: I was born in Doctor Narlikarโ€™s Nursing Home on August 15th, 1947. And the time? The time matters, too. Well then: at night. No, itโ€™s important to be moreย .ย .ย . On the stroke of midnight, as a matter of fact. Clockhands joined palms in respectful greeting as I came. Oh, spell it out, spell it out: at the precise instant of Indiaโ€™s arrival at independence, I tumbled forth into the world. There were gasps. And, outside the window, fireworks and crowds.ย .ย .ย . I, Saleem Sinai, later variously called Snotnose, Stainface, Baldy, Sniffer, Buddha and even Piece-of-the-Moon, had become heavily embroiled in Fate. + +Perhaps the most distinct echo is from Saul Bellowโ€™s โ€œ[The Adventures of Augie March](https://www.amazon.com/Adventures-Augie-March-Penguin-Classics/dp/0143039571/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2L8PC5JBUUBD9&keywords=The+Adventures+of+Augie+March&qid=1675700663&s=books&sprefix=the+adventures+of+augie+march%2Cstripbooks%2C95&sr=1-1)โ€: โ€œI am an American, Chicago bornโ€”Chicago, that somber cityโ€”and go at things as I have taught myself, freestyle, and will make the record in my own way.ย .ย .ย .โ€ When Rushdie shifted from the third-person narrator of his earlier drafts to the first-person address of the protagonist, Saleem Sinai, the novel took off. Rushdie was suddenly back โ€œin the world that made me.โ€ Forster had been onto something. In an English of his own devising, Rushdie had written a great Indian novel, a prismatic work with all the noise, abundance, multilingual complexity, wit, and, ultimately, political disappointment of the country he set out to describe. As he told me, โ€œBombay is a city built very largely on reclaimed landโ€”reclaimed from the sea. And I thought of the book as being kind of an act of reclamation.โ€ + +โ€œMidnightโ€™s Childrenโ€ is a novel of overwhelming muchness, of magic and mythologies. Saleem learns that a thousand other children were born at the same moment as he was, and that these thousand and one storytellers make up a vast subcontinental Scheherazade. Saleem is telepathically attuned to the cacophony of an infinitely varied post-colonial nation, with all its fissures and conflicts. โ€œI was a radio receiver and could turn the volume down or up,โ€ he tells us. โ€œI could select individual voices; I could even, by an effort of will, switch off my newly discovered ear.โ€ + +The novel was quickly recognized as a classic. โ€œWe have an epic in our laps,โ€ John Leonard wrote in the *Times*. โ€œThe obvious comparisons are to Gรผnter Grass in โ€˜The Tin Drumโ€™ and to Gabriel Garcia Mรกrquez in โ€˜One Hundred Years of Solitude.โ€™ I am happy to oblige the obvious.โ€ โ€œMidnightโ€™s Childrenโ€ won the Booker Prize in 1981, and, many years later, โ€œthe Booker of Bookers,โ€ the best of the best. One of the few middling reviews Rushdie received was from his father. His reading of the novel was, at best, dismissive; he could not have been pleased by the depiction of the protagonistโ€™s father, who, like him, had a drinking problem. โ€œWhen you have a baby on your lap, sometimes it wets you, but you forgive it,โ€ he told Rushdie. It was only years later, when he was dying, that he came clean: โ€œI was angry because every word you wrote was true.โ€ + +Shortly after the publication of โ€œMidnightโ€™s Children,โ€ Bill Buford, an American who had reinvented the literary quarterly *Granta* while studying at Cambridge, invited Rushdie to give a reading at a space above a hairdresserโ€™s. โ€œI didnโ€™t know who was going to show up,โ€ Rushdie recalled. โ€œThe room was packed, absolutely bursting at the seams, and a large percentage were Indian readers. I was unbelievably moved. A rather well-dressed middle-aged lady in a fancy sari stood up at the end of the reading, in this sort of Q.ย &ย A. bit, and she said, โ€˜I want to thank you, Mr. Rushdie, because you have told *my* story.โ€™ It still almost makes me cry.โ€ + +โ€œMidnightโ€™s Childrenโ€ and its equally extravagant successor, โ€œ[Shame](https://www.amazon.com/Shame-Novel-Salman-Rushdie/dp/0812976703/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2OZ21IT4LMQCG&keywords=shame+rushdie&qid=1675700709&s=books&sprefix=shame+rushdie%2Cstripbooks%2C83&sr=1-1),โ€ which is set in a country that is โ€œnot quiteโ€ Pakistan, managed to infuriate the leaders of India and Pakistanโ€”Indira Gandhi sued Rushdie and his publisher, Jonathan Cape, for defamation; โ€œShameโ€ was banned in Muhammad Zia-ul-Haqโ€™s Pakistanโ€”but politics was hardly the only reason that his example was so liberating. Rushdie takes from Milan Kundera the idea that the history of the modern novel came from two distinct eighteenth-century streams, the realism of Samuel Richardsonโ€™s โ€œClarissaโ€ and the strangeness and irrealism of Laurence Sterneโ€™s โ€œTristram Shandyโ€; Rushdie gravitated to the latter, more fantastical, less populated tradition. His youthful readings had been followed by later excursions into [Franz Kafka](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/01/16/the-diaries-of-franz-kafka-party-animal), James Joyce, Italo Calvino, Isaac Bashevis Singer, and Mikhail Bulgakov, all of whom drew on folktales, allegory, and local mythologies to produce their โ€œantic, ludic, comic, eccentricโ€ texts. + +In turn, younger writers found inspiration in โ€œMidnightโ€™s Children,โ€ especially those who came from backgrounds shaped by colonialism and migration. One such was Zadie Smith, who published her first novel, โ€œ[White Teeth](https://www.amazon.com/White-Teeth-Novel-Zadie-Smith/dp/0375703861/ref=sr_1_1?crid=11PQWOUQSO48M&keywords=White+Teeth&qid=1675700861&s=books&sprefix=white+teeth%2Cstripbooks%2C110&sr=1-1),โ€ in 2000, when she was twenty-four. โ€œBy the time I came of age, it was already canonical,โ€ Smith told me. โ€œIf Iโ€™m honest, I was a bit resistant to it as a monumentโ€”it felt very intimidating. But then, aged about eighteen, I finally read it, and I think the first twenty pages had as much influence on me as any book could. Bottled energy! Thatโ€™s the best way I can put it. And I recognized the energy. โ€˜The empire writes backโ€™ is what we used to say of Rushdie, and I was also a distant child of that empire, and had grown up around people with Rushdie-level energy and storytelling prowess.ย .ย .ย . I hate that clichรฉ of โ€˜He kicked open the door so we could walk through it,โ€™ but in Salmanโ€™s case itโ€™s the truth.โ€ + +At the time, Rushdie had no idea that he would exert such an influence. โ€œI was just thinking, I hope a few people read this weird book,โ€ he said. โ€œThis book with almost no white people in it and written in such strange English.โ€ + +I first met Rushdie, fleetingly, in New York, at a 1986 convocation of *PEN* International. I was reporting on the gathering for the Washington *Post* and Rushdie was possibly the youngest luminary in a vast assemblage of writers from forty-five countries. Like a rookie at the all-star game, Rushdie enjoyed watching the veterans do their thing: Gรผnter Grass throwing Teutonic thunderbolts at Saul Bellow; E. L. Doctorow lashing out at [Norman Mailer](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/12/26/the-making-of-norman-mailer), the president of *PEN* American Center, for inviting George Shultz, Ronald Reaganโ€™s Secretary of State, to speak; Grace Paley hurling high heat at Mailer for his failure to invite more women. One afternoon, Rushdie was outside on Central Park South, taking a break from the conference, when he ran into a photographer from *Time*, who asked him to hop into a horse carriage for a picture. Rushdie found himself sitting beside Czesล‚aw Miล‚osz and Susan Sontag. For once, Rushdie said, he was โ€œtongue-tied.โ€ + +But the *PEN* convention was a diversion, as was a side project called โ€œThe Jaguar Smile,โ€ a piece of reporting on the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua. Rushdie was wrestling with the manuscript of โ€œThe Satanic Verses.โ€ The prose was no less vibrant and hallucinatory than that of โ€œMidnightโ€™s Childrenโ€ or โ€œShame,โ€ but the tale was mainly set in London. โ€œThere was a point in my life when I could have written a version of โ€˜Midnightโ€™s Childrenโ€™ every few years,โ€ he said. โ€œIt wouldโ€™ve sold, you know. But I always want to find a thing to do that I havenโ€™t done.โ€ + +โ€œ[The Satanic Verses](https://www.amazon.com/Satanic-Verses-Novel-Salman-Rushdie-ebook/dp/B004KABDMA/ref=sr_1_1?crid=6VHJFHJKPER0&keywords=The+Satanic+Verses&qid=1675700916&s=books&sprefix=the+satanic+verses%2Cstripbooks%2C104&sr=1-1)โ€ was published in September, 1988. Rushdie knew that, just as he had angered Indira Gandhi and General Zia-ul-Haq, he might offend some Muslim clerics with his treatment of Islamic history and various religious tropes. The Prophet is portrayed as imperfect yet earnest, courageous in the face of persecution. In any case, the novel is hardly dominated by religion. It is in large measure about identity in the modern world of migration. Rushdie thought of โ€œThe Satanic Versesโ€ as a โ€œlove-song to our mongrel selves,โ€ a celebration of โ€œhybridity, impurity, intermingling, the transformation that comes of new and unexpected combinations of human beings, cultures, ideas, politics, movies, songs.โ€ In a tone more comic than polemical, it was at once a social novel, a novel of British Asians, and a phantasmagorical retelling of the grand narrative of Islam. + +If there was going to be a fuss, Rushdie figured, it would pass soon enough. โ€œIt would be absurd to think that a book can cause riots,โ€ he told the Indian reporter Shrabani Basu before publication. Three years earlier, some British and American Muslims had protested peacefully against โ€œMy Beautiful Laundrette,โ€ with its irreverent screenplay by the British Pakistani writer Hanif Kureishi, but that ran its course quickly. Whatโ€™s more, in an era of racist โ€œPaki-bashing,โ€ Rushdie was admired in London for speaking out about bigotry. In 1982, in a broadcast on Channel 4, he said, โ€œBritish thought, British society, has never been cleansed of the filth of imperialism. Itโ€™s still there, breeding lice and vermin, waiting for unscrupulous people to exploit it for their own ends.โ€ + +In India, though, ahead of a national election, Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhiโ€™s government banned โ€œThe Satanic Verses.โ€ It was not immediately clear that the censorious fury would spread. In the U.K., the novel made the shortlist for the Booker Prize. (The winner was Peter Careyโ€™s โ€œ[Oscar and Lucinda](https://www.amazon.com/Oscar-Lucinda-tie-Vintage-International-ebook/dp/B004KABELU/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2IJ2F8SCFGE9W&keywords=Oscar+and+Lucinda&qid=1675700956&s=books&sprefix=oscar+and+lucinda%2Cstripbooks%2C97&sr=1-1).โ€) โ€œThe Satanic Versesโ€ was even reviewed in the Iranian press. Attempts by religious authorities in Saudi Arabia to arouse anger about the book and have it banned throughout the world had at first only limited success, even in Arab countries. But soon the dam gave way. There were deadly riots in Kashmir and Islamabad; marches and book burnings in Bolton, Bradford, London, and Oldham; bomb threats against the publisher, Viking Penguin, in New York. + +In Tehran, Ayatollah Khomeini was ailing and in crisis. After eight years of war with Iraq and hundreds of thousands of casualties, he had been forced to drink from the โ€œpoisoned chalice,โ€ as he put it, and accept a ceasefire with Saddam Hussein. The popularity of the revolutionary regime had declined. Khomeiniโ€™s son admitted that his father [never read โ€œThe Satanic Verses,โ€](https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/ayatollah-khomeini-never-read-salman-rushdies-book) but the mullahs around him saw an opportunity to reassert the Ayatollahโ€™s authority at home and to expand it abroad, even beyond the reach of his Shia followers. Khomeini issued the fatwa calling for Rushdieโ€™s execution. As Kenan Malik writes in โ€œ[From Fatwa to Jihad](https://www.amazon.com/Fatwa-Jihad-Rushdie-Affair-Aftermath/dp/193555400X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=15195X2J06HL2&keywords=From+Fatwa+to+Jihad&qid=1675701427&s=books&sprefix=from+fatwa+to+jihad%2Cstripbooks%2C94&sr=1-1),โ€ the edict โ€œwas a sign of weakness rather than of strength,โ€ a matter more of politics than of theology. + +A reporter from the BBC called Rushdie at home and said, โ€œHow does it feel to know that you have just been sentenced to death by the Ayatollah Khomeini?โ€ + +Rushdie thought, *Iโ€™m a dead man. Thatโ€™s it. One day. Two days.* For the rest of his life, he would no longer be merely a storyteller; he would be a story, a controversy, an affair. + +[](https://www.newyorker.com/cartoon/a23829) + +โ€œIs it too matchy-matchy?โ€ + +Cartoon by Sofia Warren + +After speaking with a few more reporters, Rushdie went to a memorial service for his close friend Bruce Chatwin. Many of his friends were there. Some expressed concern, others tried consolation via wisecrack. โ€œNext week weโ€™ll be back here for you!โ€ Paul Theroux said. In those early days, Theroux recalled in a letter to Rushdie, he thought the fatwa was โ€œa very bad joke, a bit like Papa Doc Duvalier putting a voodoo curse on Graham Greene for writing โ€˜The Comedians.โ€™ย โ€ After the service, Martin Amis picked up a newspaper that carried the headline โ€œ*EXECUTE RUSHDIE ORDERS THE AYATOLLAH*.โ€ Rushdie, Amis thought, had now โ€œvanished into the front page.โ€ + +For the next decade, Rushdie lived underground, guarded by officers of the Special Branch, a unit of Londonโ€™s Metropolitan Police. The headlines and the threats were unceasing. People behaved well. People behaved disgracefully. There were friends of great constancyโ€”Buford, Amis, James Fenton, Ian McEwan, Nigella Lawson, Christopher Hitchens, many moreโ€”and yet some regarded the fatwa as a problem Rushdie had brought on himself. Prince Charles made his antipathy clear at a dinner party that Amis attended: What should you expect if you insult peopleโ€™s deepest convictions? John le Carrรฉ instructed Rushdie to withdraw his book โ€œuntil a calmer time has come.โ€ Roald Dahl branded him a โ€œdangerous opportunistโ€ who โ€œknew exactly what he was doing and cannot plead otherwise.โ€ The singer-songwriter Cat Stevens, who had a hit with โ€œPeace Trainโ€ and converted to Islam, said, โ€œThe Quran makes it clearโ€”if someone defames the Prophet, then he must die.โ€ Germaine Greer, George Steiner, and Auberon Waugh all expressed their disapproval. So did Jimmy Carter, the British Foreign Secretary, and the Archbishop of Canterbury. + +Among his detractors, an image hardened of a Rushdie who was dismissive of Muslim sensitivities and, above all, ungrateful for the expensive protection the government was providing him. The historian Hugh Trevor-Roper remarked, โ€œI would not shed a tear if some British Muslims, deploring his manners, should waylay him in a dark street and seek to improve them. If that should cause him thereafter to control his pen, society would benefit, and literature would not suffer.โ€ + +The horror was that, thanks to Khomeiniโ€™s cruel edict, so many people did suffer. In separate incidents, Hitoshi Igarashi, the novelโ€™s Japanese translator, and Ettore Capriolo, its Italian translator, were stabbed, Igarashi fatally; the bookโ€™s Norwegian publisher, William Nygaard, was fortunate to survive being shot multiple times. Bookshops from London to Berkeley were firebombed. Meanwhile, the Swedish Academy, the organization in Stockholm that awards the annual Nobel Prize in Literature, declined to issue a statement in support of Rushdie. This was a silence that went unbroken for decades. + +Rushdie was in ten kinds of misery. His marriage to the novelist Marianne Wiggins fell apart. He was consumed by worry for the safety of his young son, Zafar. Initially, he maintained a language of bravadoโ€”โ€œFrankly, I wish I had written a more critical book,โ€ he told a reporter the day that the fatwa was announcedโ€”but he was living, he wrote, โ€œin a waking nightmare.โ€ โ€œThe Satanic Versesโ€ was a sympathetic book about the plight of the deracinated, the very same young people he now saw on the evening news burning him in effigy. His antagonists were not merely offended; they insisted on a right not to be offended. As he told me, โ€œThis paradox is part of the story of my life.โ€ + +It was part of a still larger paradox. โ€œThe Satanic Versesโ€ was published at a time when liberty was ascendant: by late 1989, the Berlin Wall had fallen; in the Soviet Union, the authority of the Communist Party was imploding. And yet the Rushdie affair prefigured other historical trends: struggles over multiculturalism and the boundaries of free speech; the rise of radical Islam and the reaction to it. + +For some young writers, the work proved intensely generative. The playwright and novelist Ayad Akhtar, who is now the president of *PEN* America, grew up in a Muslim community in Milwaukee. He told me he remembers how friends and loved ones were gravely offended by โ€œThe Satanic Versesโ€; at the same time, the novel changed his life. โ€œIt was one of those experiences where I couldnโ€™t believe what I was reading, both the beauty of it and, as a believing Muslim, I grappled with the shock of its extraordinary irreverence,โ€ he said. โ€œBy the time I got to the end of that book, I was a different person. I suppose it was like being a young believing Irish Catholic in the twenties and encountering โ€˜A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.โ€™ย โ€ + +Amid the convulsions of the late nineteen-eighties, though, the book was vilified by people who knew it only through caricature and vitriol. A novelist who had set out to write about the complexities of South Asians in London was now, in mosques around the city and around the world, described as a figure of traitorous evil. Rushdie, out of a desire to calm the waters, met with a group of local Muslim leaders and signed a declaration affirming his faith in Islam. It was, he reasoned, true in a way: although he did not believe in supernaturalism or the orthodoxies of the creed, he had regard for the culture and civilization of Islam. He now attested that he did not agree with any statement made by any character in the novel that cast aspersions on Islam or the Prophet Muhammad, and that he would suspend the publication of the paperback edition โ€œwhile any risk of further offense exists.โ€ + +Ayatollah Khomeini had died by this time, and his successor, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was unmoved. His response was that the fatwa would remain in place even if Rushdie โ€œrepents and becomes the most pious man of his time.โ€ A newspaper in Tehran advised Rushdie to โ€œprepare for death.โ€ + +He was humiliated. It had been a mistake, he decided, to try to appease those who wanted his head. He would not make it again. As he put it in โ€œJoseph Antonโ€: + +> He needed to understand that there were people who would never love him. No matter how carefully he explained his work or clarified his intentions in creating it, they would not love him. The unreasoning mind, driven by the doubt-free absolutes of faith, could not be convinced by reason. Those who had demonized him would never say, โ€œOh, look, heโ€™s not a demon after all.โ€ย .ย .ย . He needed, now, to be clear of what he was fighting for. Freedom of speech, freedom of the imagination, freedom from fear, and the beautiful, ancient art of which he was privileged to be a practitioner. Also skepticism, irreverence, doubt, satire, comedy, and unholy glee. He would never again flinch from the defense of these things. + +Since 1989, Rushdie has had to shut out not only the threats to his person but the constant dissections of his character, in the press and beyond. โ€œThere was a moment when there was a โ€˜meโ€™ floating around that had been invented to show what a bad person I was,โ€ he said. โ€œย โ€˜Evil.โ€™ โ€˜Arrogant.โ€™ โ€˜Terrible writer.โ€™ โ€˜Nobody wouldโ€™ve read him if there hadnโ€™t been an attack against his book.โ€™ Et cetera. Iโ€™ve had to fight back against that false self. My mother used to say that her way of dealing with unhappiness was to forget it. She said, โ€˜Some people have a memory. I have a forget-ory.โ€™ย โ€ + +Rushdie went on, โ€œI just thought, There are various ways in which this event can destroy me as an artist.โ€ He could refrain from writing altogether. He could write โ€œrevenge booksโ€ that would make him a creature of circumstances. Or he could write โ€œscared books,โ€ novels that โ€œshy away from things, because you worry about how people will react to them.โ€ But he didnโ€™t want the fatwa to become a determining event in his literary trajectory: โ€œIf somebody arrives from another planet who has never heard of anything that happened to me, and just has the books on the shelf and reads them chronologically, I donโ€™t think that alien would think, Something terrible happened to this writer in 1989. The books go on their own journey. And that was really an act of will.โ€ + +Some people in Rushdieโ€™s circle and beyond are convinced that, in the intervening decades, self-censorship, a fear of giving offense, has too often become the order of the day. His friend Hanif Kureishi has said, โ€œNobody would have the balls today to write โ€˜The Satanic Verses,โ€™ let alone publish it.โ€ + +At the height of the fatwa, Rushdie set out to make good on a promise to his son, Zafar, and complete a book of stories, tales that he told the boy in his bath. That book, which appeared in 1990, is โ€œ[Haroun and the Sea of Stories](https://www.amazon.com/Haroun-Sea-Stories-Salman-Rushdie/dp/0140157379/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Haroun+and+the+Sea+of+Stories&qid=1675701668&s=books&sr=1-1).โ€ (Haroun is Zafarโ€™s middle name.) It concerns a twelve-year-old boyโ€™s attempt to restore his fatherโ€™s gift for storytelling. โ€œLuck has a way of running out without the slightest warning,โ€ Rushdie writes, and so it has been with Rashid, the Shah of Blah, a storyteller. His wife leaves him; he loses his gift. When he opens his mouth, he can say only โ€œArk, ark, ark.โ€ His nemesis is the Cultmaster, a tyrant from the land of Chup, who opposes โ€œstories and fancies and dreams,โ€ and imposes Silence Laws on his subjects; some of his devotees โ€œwork themselves up into great frenzies and sew their lips together with stout twine.โ€ In the end, the son is a savior, and stories triumph over tyranny. โ€œMy father has definitely not given up,โ€ Haroun concludes. โ€œYou canโ€™t cut off his Story Water supply.โ€ And so, in the midst of a nightmare, Rushdie wrote one of his most enjoyable books, and an allegory of the necessity and the resilience of art. + +Among the stories Rushdie was determined to tell was the story of his life. This required a factual approach, and when he published that memoir, โ€œJoseph Anton,โ€ a decade ago, he intended to be self-scrutinizing, tougher on himself than on anybody else. That is not invariably the case. He is harsh about publishers who, while standing fully behind Rushdie and his novel, felt it necessary to make compromises along the way (notably, delaying paperback publication) to protect the lives of their staffs. Some of the passages about his second, third, and fourth wivesโ€”Marianne Wiggins, Elizabeth West, and Padma Lakshmiโ€”are unkind, even vindictive. He is, in general, not known for restraint in his public utterances, and his responses to personal and literary chastisements are sometimes ill-tempered. In some ways, โ€œJoseph Antonโ€ reminded me of Solzhenitsynโ€™s memoir โ€œThe Oak and the Calf,โ€ not because the two writers share similar personalities or politics but because both, while showing extraordinary courage, remain human, sometimes heroic and sometimes petulant. + +At the end of โ€œJoseph Antonโ€โ€”the title is his fatwa-era code name, the first names of two favorite writers, Conrad and Chekhovโ€”there is a movement into the light, a resolution. His โ€œlittle battle,โ€ he wrote in the final pages, โ€œwas coming to an end.โ€ With a sense of joy, he embarks on a new novel: + +> This in the end was who he was, a teller of tales, a creator of shapes, a maker of things that were not. It would be wise to withdraw from the world of commentary and polemic and rededicate himself to what he loved most, the art that had claimed his heart, mind and spirit ever since he was a young man, and to live again in the universe of once upon a time, of *kan ma kan*, it was so and it was not so, and to make the journey to the truth upon the waters of make-believe. + +Rushdie moved to New York and tried to put the turmoil behind him. + +On the night of August 11th, a twenty-four-year-old man named Hadi Matar slept under the stars on the grounds of the Chautauqua Institution. His parents, Hassan Matar and Silvana Fardos, came from Yaroun, Lebanon, a village just north of the Israeli border, and immigrated to California, where Hadi was born. In 2004, they divorced. Hassan Matar returned to Lebanon; Silvana Fardos, her son, and her twin daughters eventually moved to New Jersey. In recent years, the family has lived in a two-story house in Fairview, a suburb across the Hudson River from Manhattan. + +In 2018, Matar went to Lebanon to visit his father. At least initially, the journey was not a success. โ€œThe first hour he gets there he called me, he wanted to come back,โ€ Fardos told a reporter for the *Daily Mail*. โ€œHe stayed for approximately twenty-eight days, but the trip did not go well with his father, he felt very alone.โ€ + +When he returned to New Jersey, Matar became a more devout Muslim. He was also withdrawn and distant; he took to criticizing his mother for failing to provide a proper religious upbringing. โ€œI was expecting him to come back motivated, to complete school, to get his degree and a job,โ€ Fardos said. Instead, she said, Matar stashed himself away in the basement, where he stayed up all night, reading and playing video games, and slept during the day. He held a job at a nearby Marshallโ€™s, the discount department store, but quit after a couple of months. Many weeks would go by without his saying a word to his mother or his sisters. + +Matar did occasionally venture out of the house. He joined the State of Fitness Boxing Club, a gym in North Bergen, a couple of miles away, and took evening classes: jump rope, speed bag, heavy bag, sparring. He impressed no one with his skills. The owner, a firefighter named Desmond Boyle, takes pride in drawing out the people who come to his gym. He had no luck with Matar. โ€œThe only way to describe him was that every time you saw him it seemed like the worst day of his life,โ€ Boyle told me. โ€œThere was always this look on him that his dog had just died, a look of sadness and dread every day. After he was here for a while, I tried to reach out to him, and he barely whispered back.โ€ He kept his distance from everyone else in the class. As Boyle put it, Matar was โ€œthe definition of a lone wolf.โ€ In early August, Matar sent an e-mail to the gym dropping his membership. On the header, next to his name, was the image of the current Supreme Leader of Iran. + +Matar read about Rushdieโ€™s upcoming event at Chautauqua on Twitter. On August 11th, he took a bus to Buffalo and then hired a Lyft to bring him to the grounds. He bought a ticket for Rushdieโ€™s appearance and killed time. โ€œI was hanging around pretty much,โ€ he said in a brief interview in the New York *Post*. โ€œNot doing anything in particular, just walking around.โ€ + +In Zadie Smithโ€™s โ€œWhite Teeth,โ€ a radicalized young man named Millat joins a group called *KEVIN* (Keepers of the Eternal and Victorious Islamic Nation) and, along with some like-minded friends, heads for a demonstration against an offending novel and its author: โ€œย โ€˜You read it?โ€™ asked Ranil, as they whizzed past Finsbury Park. There was a general pause. Millat said, โ€˜I havenโ€™t exackly read it exacklyโ€”but I know all about that shit, yeah?โ€™ To be more precise, Millat hadnโ€™t read it.โ€ Neither had Matar. He had looked at only a couple of pages of โ€œThe Satanic Verses,โ€ but he had watched videos of Rushdie on YouTube. โ€œI donโ€™t like him very much,โ€ he told the *Post*. โ€œHeโ€™s someone who attacked Islam, he attacked their beliefs, the belief systems.โ€ He pronounced the author โ€œdisingenuous.โ€ + +Rushdie was accustomed to events like the one at Chautauqua. He had done countless readings, panels, and lectures, even revelled in them. His partner onstage, Henry Reese, had not. To settle his nerves, Reese took a deep breath and gazed out at the crowd. It was calming, all the friendly, expectant faces. Then there was noiseโ€”quick steps, a huffing and puffing, an exertion. Reese turned to the noise, to Rushdie. A black-clad man was all over the writer. At first, Reese said, โ€œI thought it was a prank, some really bad-taste imitation attack, something like the Will Smith slap.โ€ Then he saw blood on Rushdieโ€™s neck, blood flecked on the backdrop with Chautauqua signage. โ€œIt then became clear there was a knife there, but at first it seemed like just hitting. For a second, I froze. Then I went after the guy. Instinctively. I ran over and tackled him at the back and held him by his legs.โ€ Matar had stabbed Rushdie about a dozen times. Now he turned on Reese and stabbed him, too, opening a gash above his eye. + +A doctor who had had breakfast with Rushdie that morning was sitting on the aisle in the second row. He got out of his seat, charged up the stairs, and headed for the melee. Later, the doctor, who asked me not to use his name, said he was sure that Reese, by tackling Matar, had helped save the writerโ€™s life. A New York state trooper put Matar in handcuffs and led him off the stage. + +Rushdie was on his back, still conscious, bleeding from stab wounds to the right side of his neck and face, his left hand, and his abdomen just under his rib cage. By now, a firefighter was at Rushdieโ€™s side, along with four doctorsโ€”an anesthesiologist, a radiologist, an internist, and an obstetrician. Two of the doctors held Rushdieโ€™s legs up to return blood flow to the body. The fireman had one hand on the right side of Rushdieโ€™s neck to stanch the bleeding and another hand near his eye. The fireman told Rushdie, โ€œDonโ€™t blink your eye, we are trying to stop the bleeding. Keep it closed.โ€ Rushdie was responsive. โ€œO.K. I agree,โ€ he said. โ€œI understand.โ€ + +Rushdieโ€™s left hand was bleeding badly. Using a pair of scissors, one of the doctors cut the sleeve off his jacket and tried to stanch the wound with a clean handkerchief. Within seconds, the handkerchief was saturated, the blood coming out โ€œlike holy hell,โ€ the doctor recalled. Someone handed him a bunch of paper towels. โ€œI squeezed the tissues as hard as I possibly could.โ€ + +[](https://www.newyorker.com/cartoon/a26551) + +โ€œIโ€™m going to exaggerate the size of the fish.โ€ + +Cartoon by Frank Cotham + +โ€œWhatโ€™s going on with my left hand?โ€ Rushdie said. โ€œIt hurts so much!โ€ There was a spreading pool of blood near his left hip. + +E.M.T.s arrived, hooked Rushdie up to an I.V., and eased him onto a stretcher. They wheeled him out of the amphitheatre and got him on a helicopter, which transferred him to a Level 2 trauma center, Hamot, part of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, in Erie, Pennsylvania. + +Rushdie had travelled alone to Chautauqua. Back in New York, his wife, Rachel Eliza Griffiths, got a call at around midday telling her that her husband had been attacked and was in surgery. She raced to arrange a flight to Erie and get to the hospital. When she arrived, he was still in the operating room. + +In Chautauqua, people walked around the grounds in a daze. As one of the doctors who had run onto the stage to help Rushdie told me, โ€œChautauqua was the one place where I felt completely at ease. For a second, it was like a dream. And then it wasnโ€™t. It made no sense, then it made all the sense in the world.โ€ + +Rushdie was hospitalized for six weeks. In the months since his release, he has mostly stayed home save for trips to doctors, sometimes two or three a day. Heโ€™d lived without security for more than two decades. Now heโ€™s had to rethink that. + +Just before Christmas, on a cold and rainy morning, I arrived at the midtown office of Andrew Wylie, Rushdieโ€™s literary agent, where weโ€™d arranged to meet. After a while, I heard the door to the agency open. Rushdie, in an accent that bears traces of all his citiesโ€”Bombay, London, New Yorkโ€”was greeting agents and assistants, people he had not seen in many months. The sight of him making his way down the hall was startling: He has lost more than forty pounds since the stabbing. The right lens of his eyeglasses is blacked over. The attack left him blind in that eye, and he now usually reads with an iPad so that he can adjust the light and the size of the type. There is scar tissue on the right side of his face. He speaks as fluently as ever, but his lower lip droops on one side. The ulnar nerve in his left hand was badly damaged. + +Rushdie took off his coat and settled into a chair across from his agentโ€™s desk. I asked how his spirits were. + +โ€œWell, you know, Iโ€™ve been better,โ€ he said dryly. โ€œBut, considering what happened, Iโ€™m not so bad. As you can see, the big injuries are healed, essentially. I have feeling in my thumb and index finger and in the bottom half of the palm. Iโ€™m doing a lot of hand therapy, and Iโ€™m told that Iโ€™m doing very well.โ€ + +โ€œCan you type?โ€ + +โ€œNot very well, because of the lack of feeling in the fingertips of these fingers.โ€ + +What about writing? + +โ€œI just write more slowly. But Iโ€™m getting there.โ€ + +Sleeping has not always been easy. โ€œThere have been nightmaresโ€”not exactly the incident, but just frightening. Those seem to be diminishing. Iโ€™m fine. Iโ€™m able to get up and walk around. When I say Iโ€™m fine, I mean, thereโ€™s bits of my body that need constant checkups. It was a colossal attack.โ€ + +More than once, Rushdie looked around the office and smiled. โ€œItโ€™s great to be back,โ€ he said. โ€œItโ€™s someplace which is not a hospital, which is mostly where Iโ€™ve been to. And to be in this agency isโ€”Iโ€™ve been coming here for decades, and itโ€™s a very familiar space to me. And to be able to come here to talk about literature, talk about books, to talk about this novel, โ€˜Victory City,โ€™ to be able to talk about the thing that most matters to meย .ย .ย .โ€ + +At this meeting and in subsequent conversations, I sensed conflicting instincts in Rushdie when he replied to questions about his health: there was the instinct to move onโ€”to talk about literary matters, his book, anything but the decades-long fatwa and now the attackโ€”and the instinct to be absolutely frank. โ€œThere is such a thing as P.T.S.D., you know,โ€ he said after a while. โ€œIโ€™ve found it very, very difficult to write. I sit down to write, and nothing happens. I write, but itโ€™s a combination of blankness and junk, stuff that I write and that I delete the next day. Iโ€™m not out of that forest yet, really.โ€ + +He added, โ€œIโ€™ve simply never allowed myself to use the phrase โ€˜writerโ€™s block.โ€™ Everybody has a moment when thereโ€™s nothing in your head. And you think, Oh, well, thereโ€™s never going to be anything. One of the things about being seventy-five and having written twenty-one books is that you know that, if you keep at it, something will come.โ€ + +Had that happened in the past months? + +Rushdie frowned. โ€œNot really. I mean, Iโ€™ve tried, but not really.โ€ He was only lately โ€œjust beginning to feel the return of the juices.โ€ + +How to go on living after thinking you had emerged from years of threat, denunciation, and mortal danger? And now how to recover from an attack that came within millimetres of killing you, and try to live, somehow, as if it could never recur? + +He seemed grateful for a therapist he had seen since before the attack, a therapist โ€œwho has a lot of *work* to do. He knows me and heโ€™s very helpful, and I just talk things through.โ€ + +The talk was plainly in the service of a long-standing resolution. โ€œIโ€™ve always tried very hard not to adopt the role of a victim,โ€ he said. โ€œThen youโ€™re just sitting there saying, Somebody stuck a knife in me! Poor me.ย .ย .ย . Which I do sometimes think.โ€ He laughed. โ€œIt *hurts*. But what I donโ€™t think is: Thatโ€™s what I want people reading the book to think. I want them to be captured by the tale, to be carried away.โ€ + +Many years ago, he recalled, there were people who seemed to grow tired of his persistent existence. โ€œPeople didnโ€™t like it. Because I should have died. Now that Iโ€™ve *almost* died, everybody loves me.ย .ย .ย . That was my mistake, back then. Not only did I live but I tried to live well. Bad mistake. Get fifteen stab wounds, much better.โ€ + +As he lay in the hospital, Rushdie received countless texts and e-mails sending love, wishing for his recovery. โ€œI was in utter shock,โ€ Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the Nigerian novelist, told me. โ€œI just didnโ€™t believe he was still in any real danger. For two days, I kept vigil, sending texts to friends all over the world, searching the Internet to make sure he was still alive.โ€ There was a reading in his honor on the steps of the New York Public Library. + +For some writers, the shock brought certain issues into hard focus. โ€œThe attack on Salman clarified a lot of things for me,โ€ Ayad Akhtar told me. โ€œI know I have a much brighter line that I draw for myself between the potential harms of speech and the freedom of the imagination. They are incommensurate and shouldnโ€™t be placed in the same paragraph.โ€ + +Rushdie was stirred by the tributes that his near-death inspired. โ€œItโ€™s very nice that everybody was so moved by this, you know?โ€ he said. โ€œI had never thought about how people would react if I was assassinated, or almost assassinated.โ€ + +And yet, he said, โ€œIโ€™m lucky. What I really want to say is that my main overwhelming feeling is gratitude.โ€ He was grateful to those who showed their support. He was grateful to the doctors, the E.M.T. workers, and the fireman in Chautauqua who stanched his wounds, and he was grateful to the surgeons in Erie. โ€œAt some point, Iโ€™d like to go back up there and say thank you.โ€ He was also grateful to his two grown sons, Zafar and Milan, who live in London, and to Griffiths. โ€œShe kind of took over at a point when I was helpless.โ€ She dealt with the doctors, the police, and the investigators, and with transport from Pennsylvania to New York. โ€œShe just took over everything, as well as having the emotional burden of my almost being killed.โ€ + +Did he think it had been a mistake to let his guard down since moving to New York? โ€œWell, Iโ€™m asking myself that question, and I donโ€™t know the answer to it,โ€ he said. โ€œI did have more than twenty years of life. So, is that a mistake? Also, I wrote a lot of books. โ€˜The Satanic Versesโ€™ was my fifth published bookโ€”my fourth published novelโ€”and this is my twenty-first. So, three-quarters of my life as a writer has happened since the fatwa. In a way, you canโ€™t regret your life.โ€ + +Whom does he blame for the attack? + +โ€œI blame *him*,โ€ he said. + +[](https://www.newyorker.com/cartoon/a27244) + +Cartoon by Tommy Siegel + +Anyone else? Was he let down by security at Chautauqua? + +โ€œIโ€™ve tried very hard over these years to avoid recrimination and bitterness,โ€ he said. โ€œI just think itโ€™s not a good look. One of the ways Iโ€™ve dealt with this whole thing is to look forward and not backwards. What happens tomorrow is more important than what happened yesterday.โ€ + +The publication of โ€œVictory City,โ€ he made plain, was his focus. Heโ€™s interested to see how the novel will be received. Will it be viewed through the prism of the stabbing? He recalled the โ€œsympathy waveโ€ that came with โ€œThe Satanic Verses,โ€ how sales shot up with the fatwa. It happened again after he was stabbed nearly to death last summer. + +He is eager, always, to talk about the new novelโ€™s grounding in Indian history and mythology, how the process of writing accelerated, just as it had with โ€œMidnightโ€™s Children,โ€ once he found the voice of his main character; how the book can be read as an allegory about the abuse of power and the curse of sectarianismโ€”the twin curses of India under its current Prime Minister, the Hindu supremacist [Narendra Modi](https://www.newyorker.com/tag/narendra-modi). But, once more, Rushdie knows, his new novel will have to compete for attention with the ugliness of real life. โ€œIโ€™m hoping that to some degree it might change the subject. Iโ€™ve always thought that my books are more interesting than my life,โ€ he said. โ€œUnfortunately, the world appears to disagree.โ€ + +Hadi Matar is being held in the Chautauqua County Jail, in the village of Mayville. Heโ€™s been charged with attempted murder in the second degree, which could bring twenty-five years in prison; heโ€™s also been charged with assault in the second degree, for the attack on Henry Reese, which could bring an additional seven. The trial is unlikely to take place until next year. + +โ€œItโ€™s a relatively simple event when you think about it,โ€ Jason Schmidt, the Chautauqua County district attorney, told me. โ€œWe know this was a preplanned, unprovoked attack by an individual who had no prior interaction with the criminal-justice system.โ€ The prosecutorโ€™s job is no doubt made easier by the fact that there were hundreds of witnesses to the crime. + +Matar is being represented by Nathaniel Barone, a public defender. At a court hearing not long after the stabbing, Barone accompanied Matar, who wore handcuffs, a face mask, and prison garb with broad black and white stripes. Matarโ€™s hair and beard were closely cropped. He said very little save for his plea of not guilty. Barone, wearing a suit and tie, stood by his client. He seems unillusioned. When I suggested that he had a near-impossible case, he did not dispute it: โ€œAlmost to a person they are saying, โ€˜What is this guyโ€™s defense? Everyone saw him do it!โ€™ย โ€ Barone said he has hundreds of expert witnesses on file, and he will be consulting some of them on matters of psychology and radicalization. He also indicated that he might challenge the admissibility of Matarโ€™s interview with the New York *Post*, saying (without supplying any evidence) that it was possibly obtained under false pretenses. (The *Post* said that its journalist had identified himself and that โ€œMr. Matar absolutely understood that he was speaking to a reporter.โ€) + +It is unknown if Matar was acting under anyoneโ€™s tutelage or instructions, but the Iranian state media has repeatedly expressed its approval of his attempt to kill Rushdie. Just last month, Hossein Salami, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, said Matar had acted โ€œbravelyโ€ and warned that the staff of the French satirical magazine *Charlie Hebdo*, which had been attacked by Muslim extremists in 2015, should consider โ€œthe fateโ€ of Rushdie if it continues to mock Ayatollah Khamenei. + +As for Matarโ€™s mother and her remarks to the press about his behavior and their fraught relationship, Barone sighed and said, โ€œObviously, itโ€™s always concerning when you see a description from the mother about your client which can be interpreted in a negative way.โ€ He did not contest her remarks. + +Barone has met with Matar on his cellblock and has found him coรถperative. โ€œIโ€™ve had absolutely no problems with Mr. Matar,โ€ he said. โ€œHe has been cordial and respectful, openly discussing things with me. He is a very sincere young man. It would be like meeting any young man. Thereโ€™s nothing that sets him apart.โ€ + +Matar is in a โ€œprivate areaโ€ of the cellblock. He spends much of his time reading the Quran and other material. โ€œIโ€™m getting to know him, but itโ€™s not easy,โ€ Barone said. โ€œThe reality of sitting in jail, incarceratedโ€”itโ€™s easy to have no hope. Itโ€™s easy to think things arenโ€™t going to work out for you. But I tell clients you have to have hope.โ€ He assured me that Matar โ€œisnโ€™t taking this lightly. Some people just donโ€™t give a damn about things.โ€ + +Does he show any remorse? + +Barone replied that he could not say โ€œat this point.โ€ + +Rushdie told me that he thought of Matar as an โ€œidiot.โ€ He paused and, aware that it wasnโ€™t much of an observation, said, โ€œI donโ€™t know what I think of him, because I donโ€™t know him.โ€ One had a faint sense of a writer grappling with a characterโ€”and a human being grappling with a nemesisโ€”who remains frustratingly vaporous. โ€œAll Iโ€™ve seen is his idiotic interview in the New York *Post*. Which only an idiot would do. I know that the trial is still a long way away. It might not happen until late next year. I guess Iโ€™ll find out some more about him then.โ€ + +Rushdie has spent these past months healing. Heโ€™s watched his share of โ€œcrap television.โ€ He couldnโ€™t find anything or anyone to like in โ€œThe White Lotusโ€ (โ€œAwful!โ€) or [the Netflix documentary on Meghan and Harry](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/meghan-and-harrys-netflix-fairy-tale) (โ€œThe banality of it!โ€). The World Cup was an extended pleasure, though. He was thrilled by the advance of the Moroccans and the preternatural performances of Franceโ€™s Kylian Mbappรฉ and Argentinaโ€™s Lionel Messi, and he was moved by the support shown by players for the protests in Iran, which he hopes could be a โ€œtipping pointโ€ for the regime in Tehran. + +There will, of course, be no book tour for โ€œVictory City.โ€ But so long as his health is good and security is squared away he is hoping to go to London for the opening of โ€œHelen,โ€ his play about Helen of Troy. โ€œIโ€™m going to tell you really truthfully, Iโ€™m not thinking about the long term,โ€ he said. โ€œIโ€™m thinking about little step by little step. I just think, Bop till you drop.โ€ + +When we picked up the subject a couple of weeks later, in a conversation over Zoom, he said, โ€œIโ€™ve got nothing else to do. I would like to have a second skill, but I donโ€™t. I always envied writers like Gรผnter Grass, who had a second career as a visual artist. I thought how nice it must be to spend a day wrestling with words, and then get up and walk down the street to your art studio and become something completely else. I donโ€™t have that. So, all I can do is this. As long as thereโ€™s a story that I think is worth giving my time to, then I will. When I have a book in my head, itโ€™s as if the rest of the world is in its correct shape.โ€ + +Itโ€™s โ€œdepressingโ€ when heโ€™s struggling at his desk, he admits. He wonders if the stories will come. But heโ€™s still there, putting in the time. + +Rushdie looked around his desk, gestured to the books that line the walls of his study. โ€œI feel everythingโ€™s O.K. when Iโ€™m sitting here, and I have something to think about,โ€ he said. โ€œBecause that takes over from the outside world. Of course, the interior world is connected to the exterior world, but, when you are in the act of making, it takes over from everything else.โ€ + +For now, he has set aside the idea for a novel inspired by Kafka and Mann, and is thinking through a kind of sequel to โ€œJoseph Anton.โ€ At first, he was irritated by the idea, โ€œbecause it felt almost like it was being forced on meโ€”the attack demanded that I should write about the attack.โ€ In recent weeks, though, the idea has taken hold. Rushdieโ€™s books tend to be *IMAX*\-scale, large-cast productions, but in order to write about the attack in Chautauqua, an event that took place in a matter of seconds, he envisions something more โ€œmicroscopic.โ€ + +And the voice would be different. The slightly distanced, third-person voice that โ€œJoseph Antonโ€ employed seems wrong for the task. โ€œThis doesnโ€™t feel third-person-ish to me,โ€ Rushdie said. โ€œI think when somebody sticks a knife into you, thatโ€™s a first-person story. Thatโ€™s an โ€˜Iโ€™ story.โ€ย โ™ฆ + +  +  + +--- +`$= dv.el('center', 'Source: ' + dv.current().Link + ', ' + dv.current().Date.toLocaleString("fr-FR"))` \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/00.03 News/The Devastating New History of the January 6th Insurrection.md b/00.03 News/The Devastating New History of the January 6th Insurrection.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..eec806e9 --- /dev/null +++ b/00.03 News/The Devastating New History of the January 6th Insurrection.md @@ -0,0 +1,155 @@ +--- + +Tag: ["๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ", "๐Ÿ˜", "๐Ÿ”ซ"] +Date: 2023-01-08 +DocType: "WebClipping" +Hierarchy: +TimeStamp: 2023-01-08 +Link: https://www.newyorker.com/news/american-chronicles/the-devastating-new-history-of-the-january-sixth-insurrection +location: +CollapseMetaTable: true + +--- + +Parent:: [[@News|News]] +Read:: [[2023-01-09]] + +--- + +  + +```button +name Save +type command +action Save current file +id Save +``` +^button-TheHistoryoftheJanuary6thInsurrectionNSave + +  + +# The Devastating New History of the January 6th Insurrection + +*The New Yorker is publishing the full report of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack, in partnership with Celadon Books. The edition contains a foreword by the magazineโ€™s editor, David Remnick, which youโ€™ll find below, and an epilogue by Representative Jamie Raskin, a member of the committee. [Order the full report](https://store.newyorker.com/products/january-6th-report)*. + +In the weeks while the House select committee to investigate the insurrection at the Capitol was finishing its report, Donald Trump, the focus of its inquiry, betrayed no sense of alarm or self-awareness. At his country-club exile in Palm Beach, Trump ignored the failures of his favored candidates in the midterm elections and announced that he was running again for President. He dined cheerfully and unapologetically with a spiralling Kanye West and a young neo-fascist named Nick Fuentes. He mocked the governmentโ€™s insistence that he turn over all the classified documents that heโ€™d hoarded as personal property. Finally, he declared that he had a โ€œmajor announcement,โ€ only to unveil the latest in a lifetime of grifts. In the old days, it was Trump University, Trump Steaks, Trump Ice. This time, he was hawking โ€œlimited editionโ€ digital trading cards at ninety-nine dollars apiece, illustrated portraits of himself as an astronaut, a sheriff, a superhero. The pitch began with the usual hokum: โ€œHello everyone, this is Donald Trump, hopefully your favorite President of all time, better than Lincoln, better than Washington.โ€ + +In his career as a New York real-estate shyster and tabloid denizen, then as the forty-fifth President of the United States, Trump has been the most transparent of public figures. He does little to conceal his most distinctive characteristics: his racism, misogyny, dishonesty, narcissism, incompetence, cruelty, instability, and corruption. And yet what has kept Trump afloat for so long, what has helped him evade ruin and prosecution, is perhaps his most salient quality: he is shameless. That is the never-apologize-never-explain core of him. Trump is hardly the first dishonest President, the first incurious President, the first liar. But he is the most shameless. His contrition is impossible to conceive. He is insensible to disgrace. + +On December 19, 2022, the committee spelled out a devastating set of accusations against Trump: obstruction of an official proceeding; conspiracy to defraud the nation; conspiracy to make false statements; and, most grave of all, inciting, assisting, aiding, or comforting an insurrection. For the first time in the history of the United States, Congress referred a former President to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution. The criminal referrals have no formal authority, though they could play some role in pushing Jack Smith, the special counsel appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland, to issue indictments. The report certainly adds immeasurably to the wealth of evidence describing Trumpโ€™s actions and intentions. One telling example: The committee learned that Hope Hicks, the epitome of a loyal adviser, told Trump more than once in the days leading up to the protest to urge the demonstrators to keep things peaceful. โ€œI suggested it several times Monday and Tuesday and he refused,โ€ she wrote in a text to another adviser. When Hicks questioned Trumpโ€™s behavior concerning the insurrection and the consequences for his legacy, he made his priorities clear: โ€œNobody will care about my legacy if I lose. So, that wonโ€™t matter. The only thing that matters is winning.โ€ + +Trump has been similarly dismissive of the committeeโ€™s work, going on the radio to tell Dan Bongino, the host of โ€œThe Dan Bongino Show,โ€ that he had been the victim of a โ€œkangaroo court.โ€ On Truth Social, his social-media platform, he appealed to the loyalty of his supporters: โ€œRepublicans and Patriots all over the land must stand strong and united against the Thugs and Scoundrels of the Unselect Committeeโ€ฆ. These folks donโ€™t get it that when they come after me, the people who love freedom rally around me. It strengthens me. What doesnโ€™t kill me makes me stronger.โ€ + +Experience makes it plain that Trump will just keep going on like this, deflecting, denying, lashing out at his accusers, even if it means that he will end his days howling in a bare and echoing room. It matters little that the report shows that even members of his innermost circle, from his Attorney General to his daughter, know the depths of his vainglorious delusions. He will not repent. He will not change. But the importance of the committeeโ€™s report has far less to do with the spectacle of Trumpโ€™s unravelling. Its importance resides in the establishment of a historical record, the depth of its evidence, the story it tells of a deliberate, coรถrdinated assault on American democracy that could easily have ended with the kidnapping or assassination of senior elected officials, the emboldenment of extremist groups and militias, and, above all, a stolen election, a coup. + +The committee was not alone in its investigation. Many journalists contributed to the steady accretion of facts. But, with the power of subpoena, the committee was able to uncover countless new illuminating details. One example: In mid-December, 2020, the Supreme Court threw out a lawsuit filed by the State of Texas that would have challenged the counting of millions of ballots. Trump, of course, supported the suit. He was furious when it, like dozens of similar suits, was dismissed. According to Cassidy Hutchinson, who worked directly for Mark Meadows, the White House chief of staff, Trump was โ€œragingโ€ about the decision: โ€œHe had said something to the effect of, โ€˜I donโ€™t want people to know we lost, Mark. This is embarrassing. Figure it out. We need to figure it out. I donโ€™t want people to know that we lost.โ€™โ€ + +In large measure, this report is the story of how Trump, humiliated by his loss to Joe Biden, conspired to obstruct Congress, defraud the country he was pledged to serve, and incite an insurrection to keep himself in power. + +The origins of the committee and its work are plain: On January 6, 2021, thousands marched on the Capitol in support of Trump and his conspiratorial and wholly fabricated charge that the Presidential election the previous November had been stolen from him. Demonstrators breached police barricades, broke through windows and doors, and ran through the halls of Congress threatening to exact vengeance on the Vice-President, the Speaker of the House, and other officeholders. Seven people died as a result of the insurrection. About a hundred and fourteen law-enforcement officers were injured. + +Half a year later, the House of Representatives voted to establish a panel charged with investigating every aspect of the insurrectionโ€”including the role of the former President. An earlier attempt in the Senate to convene an investigative panel had met with firm resistance from the Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell, who called it an โ€œextraneousโ€ project; despite support from six Republican senators, it failed to get the sixty votes required. It was left to the Democratic leadership in the House to form a committee. The vote, held on June 30, 2021, was largely along party lines, but the U.S. House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol officially came into existence. + +Speaker Nancy Pelosi then asked the Republicans to name G.O.P. members to join the panel. The House Minority Leader, Kevin McCarthy, responded by proposing some of the most prominent election deniers in his caucus, including Jim Jordan, of Ohio, who had attended โ€œStop the Stealโ€ demonstrations and was sure to behave as an ardent obstructionist. Pelosi, who had named Liz Cheney, of Wyoming, to the panel, rejected two of McCarthyโ€™s five recommendations, saying, โ€œThe unprecedented nature of January 6th demands this unprecedented decision.โ€ After conferring with Trump, McCarthy refused to provide alternatives, and abruptly withdrew all of his proposals, gambling that doing so would derail or discredit the initiative. Pelosi, in turn, asked a second Republican who had, with Cheney, voted to impeach the President on a vote held on January 13thโ€”Adam Kinzinger, of Illinoisโ€”to serve on the committee. Both Cheney and Kinzinger accepted. + +Cheney, a firm conservative and the daughter of former Vice-President Dick Cheney, had made her judgment of Trump well known. โ€œThe President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack,โ€ she said not long after the insurrection. โ€œEverything that followed was his doing.โ€ She knew that by opposing Trump and joining Kinzinger and the Democrats on the committee she was almost sure to lose her seat in Congress. She didnโ€™t care, she said later, declaring her work on the panel, on which she served as vice-chair, the โ€œmost importantโ€ of her career. The G.O.P. leadership was unimpressed with this declaration of principle. In February, 2022, the Republican National Committee censured both Cheney and Kinzinger. + +In deciding how to proceed with its investigation, the committeeโ€™s chairman, Bennie G. Thompson, of Mississippi, along with Liz Cheney and the seven other members, looked to a range of similarly high-profile investigative panels of the past, including the so-called Kefauver Committee, which investigated organized crime, in 1950-51; the Presidentโ€™s Commission on the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, known as the Warren Commission, in 1963-64; the Senate Watergate hearings, in 1973; the Iran-Contra hearings, in 1987; and, particularly, the 9/11 Commission, in 2002-04. The committee hired staff investigators who had worked in the Department of Justice and in law enforcement, and they conducted more than a thousand interviews. Teams were color-coded and tasked with making โ€œdeep divesโ€ into various aspects of January 6th. The division of labor included a โ€œblue team,โ€ which examined the preparation for and the reaction to events by law enforcement; a โ€œgreen team,โ€ which examined the financial backing for the plot; a โ€œpurple team,โ€ which conducted an analysis of the extremist groups involved in the storming of the Capitol; a โ€œred team,โ€ which studied the rally on the Ellipse and the Stop the Steal movement; and a โ€œgold team,โ€ which looked specifically at Trumpโ€™s role in the insurrection. + +Committee members also insisted on inquiring into whether Trump planned to use emergency powers to overturn the vote, call out the National Guard, and invoke the Insurrection Act. Was Trumpโ€™s inaction during the rioting on Capitol Hill merely a matter of miserable leadership, or was it a deliberate strategy of fomenting chaos in order to stay in the White House? โ€œThat dereliction of duty causes us real concern,โ€ Thompson said. In this way, an inquiry into a specific episode broadened to encompass a topic of still greater significance: Had the President sought to undermine and circumvent the American system of electoral democracy? + +The political urgency of the committeeโ€™s work was geared to the calendar. Members had initially hoped to complete and publish a report before the 2022 midterm elections. But that proved impossible, such was the volume of evidence. Still, the committee members knew they could not go on indefinitely. The Republicans were likely to win back a majority in the House, in November, and McCarthy, who was the most likely to succeed Nancy Pelosi as Speaker, would almost certainly choose not to reauthorize the committee, effectively shutting it down; it was also quite possible, they knew, that McCarthy and the Republicans might generate โ€œcounterโ€ hearings as an act of retribution. + +As the committee began its work, it was soon clear that the Republican leadership in the House had made a tactical error in refusing to appoint any members to the panel. Even Republicans less vociferous than Jordan would have had the power to slow down the investigations, debate points with Democratic members, and appoint less aggressive staff members. Instead, the committee, with its seven Democrats and two anti-Trump Republicans, worked in relative harmony, taking full advantage of a sense of common purpose and the capacities of a congressional committee. + +Still, they faced predictable obstacles. Not only did many Trump loyalists refuse to testify; much of the American public was, after so many previous investigations, impeachments, scandals, and news alerts, weary of hearing about the unending saga of Donald Trump. Who would pay attention? What more was there to learn? In a polarized America, who was left to be persuaded? Committee members such as Jamie Raskin, of Maryland, insisted that the real purpose of the investigation was to establish the truth. What prosecutors and the electorate make of those facts is beyond the committeeโ€™s authority. + +The committee members determined that they could not go about the hearings in the old way, with day after day of interminable questioning of witnesses. Instead, they needed to produce discrete, well-produced, briskly paced multimedia โ€œepisodesโ€ designed to highlight various aspects of the insurrection: its origins, its funding, the behavior of the President, the level of involvement by white nationalists, militias, and other menacing groups. The members agreed that, in an age of peak TV, they needed to present a kind of series, one that was dramatic, accessible, accurate, evidence-rich, and convincing. Ideally, they would provide a narrative that did not merely preach to the converted but reached the millions of Americans who were indifferent to or confused by the unending stream of noise, indirection, hysteria, lying, and chaos that had characterized the hyperpolarized era. The committee also recognized that only a minority would watch the full hearings, much less read every word of a long narrative report months later. They needed to produce the hearings in a way that could also be transmitted effectively in bits on social media and go viral. They needed memorable moments and characters. In the words of one staffer, โ€œWe needed to bring things to life.โ€ + +To help with that effort, the committee hired an adviser, the British-born television producer James Goldston, who had been a foreign correspondent for the BBC in Northern Ireland and Kosovo. Goldston had also covered the impeachment of Bill Clinton. In 2004, he moved to New York and went to work at ABC, where he ran โ€œGood Morning Americaโ€ and โ€œNightlineโ€; between 2014 and 2021, he served as president of ABC News. The committee decided to videotape its depositions, and Goldston was among those who helped to select brief and particularly vivid moments from those long interviews, the way a journalist uses quotations or scenes to enliven a piece of narrative prose. The committeeโ€™s presentations also employed everything from surveillance video to police radio traffic to the e-mails and tweets of government officials, right-wing media personalities, militia leaders, and the insurrectionists on Capitol Hill. + +โ€œWe live in an era where, no matter how important the subject, itโ€™s competing for attention,โ€ Goldston told a reporter for TheWrap. โ€œPeople are distracted, people have got a lot going on. And so, the hope was, by bringing these new techniques to this format, that we could engage people in a way that perhaps they wouldnโ€™t otherwise have been.โ€ The second prime-time hearing brought in nearly eighteen million viewers, an audience comparable to NBCโ€™s โ€œSunday Night Football.โ€ The Republican House leadership was predictably unimpressed with the committeeโ€™s commitment to narrative, prompting Kevin McCarthy to say that the Democrats had hired Goldston to โ€œchoreograph their Jan. 6 political theater.โ€ + +The committeeโ€™s published report does not have a single authorial voice. Rather, it is a collaborative effort written mainly by a team of investigators and staffers, with input from members of the committee. And, while it lacks a mediating, consistent voice, it is a startlingly rich narrative, thick with details of malevolent intent, political conspiracy, sickening violence, and human folly. There is no question that historians will feast on these pages; what the Department of Justice does with this evidence remains to be seen. + +At times, thereโ€™s comedy embedded in this tragic narrative. A figure such as Eric Herschmann, a Trump adviser, holds the stage long enough to recount telling the Trump lawyer John Eastman that his plan to overturn the election is โ€œcompletely crazyโ€: โ€œAre you out of your effing mind?โ€ And: โ€œGet a great effing criminal defense lawyer. Youโ€™re gonna need it.โ€ Viewers of Herschmannโ€™s deliciously profane taped testimony were transfixed by at least two artifacts on the wall behind him: a baseball bat with the word โ€œJusticeโ€ written on it and a print of โ€œWild Thing,โ€ Rob Pruittโ€™s image of a panda, which also makes an appearance in the erotic thriller โ€œFifty Shades of Grey.โ€ + +Anyone who watched the hearings and who now reads this report will dwell at times on the outsized figures who emerge, either in their own testimony or as described by others: the neo-fascistic campaign strategist and onetime White House aide Steve Bannon; the blandly ambitious Mark Meadows, the chief of staff in the final year of the Trump Administration; and, of course, the oft-inebriated Rudy Giuliani, the onetime New York City mayor and Trumpโ€™s personal lawyer. + +Time and again, senior figures in the drama refused to testify, hiding behind claims of executive privilege. The report includes many comical instances of would-be witnesses claiming their Fifth Amendment rights and refusing to answer questions as benign as where they went to college. And so it was often the junior staffers in the Administration, with far less to spend on legal fees and with their futures at risk, who stepped forward to describe what they had seen and heard. The most memorable such episode came on June 28th, when Cassidy Hutchinson, the earnest young aide to Meadows, testified live before the committee. Hutchinson had already been deposed four times, for a total of more than twenty hours. Liz Cheney, as the vice-chair, began the session by announcing that Hutchinson had received an ominous phone call from someone in Trumpโ€™s circle saying, โ€œHe wants me to let you know heโ€™s thinking about you. He knows youโ€™re loyal. And youโ€™re going to do the right thing when you go in for your deposition.โ€ Cheney bluntly referred to this as tantamount to witness tampering. When the report and its accompanying materials were finally released, we learned that Hutchinson told the committee that a former Trump White House lawyer named Stefan Passantino, who represented her early in the process, had instructed her to feign a faulty memory and โ€œfocus on protecting the President.โ€ She said Passantino made it plain that he would help find her โ€œa really good job in Trump worldโ€ so long as she protected โ€œthe family.โ€ Hutchinson also testified that an aide to Meadows, Ben Williamson, had passed along a message from Meadows that he โ€œknows that youโ€™ll do the right thing tomorrow and that youโ€™re going to protect him and the boss.โ€ + +But Hutchinson, who had been a loyal staffer in the Trump White House, privy to countless conversations in and around the offices of the President and the chief of staff, would not be intimidated. She found new counsel and thwarted the thuggish attempts to gain her silence, delivering some of the most damning testimony of the investigation. She described conversations, some secondhand, that made it plain that Trump knew full well that he had lost the election but would stop at nothing to keep power. Because of her preternatural calm before the microphone, the uninflected, more-in-sadness-than-in-anger tone of her delivery, Hutchinson was often compared to John Dean, the White House counsel under Richard Nixon, who emerged from the Watergate hearings as the most memorable and decisive witness. + +But the nature of Hutchinsonโ€™s testimony, in keeping with the era, was distinctly more lurid than Deanโ€™s. She recalled how Trump hurled his lunch against the wall, splattering ketchup everywhere, when he learned that Attorney General William Barr had publicly declared that there was, in fact, no evidence of election fraud. On other occasions, she said, the President pulled out โ€œthe tablecloth to let all the contents of the table go onto the floor and likely break or go everywhere.โ€ She recounted the names of the many Trumpistsโ€”including Meadows, Giuliani, Matt Gaetz, and Louie Gohmertโ€”who had requested that Trump grant them pardons in connection with the Capitol attack. She said that, three days before the insurrection, the White House counsel, Pat Cipollone, told Trump that, if he carried out his plan to march to the Capitol with the crowds, โ€œweโ€™re going to get charged with every crime imaginable.โ€ Hutchinson testified that on January 6th Cipollone told Meadows, โ€œTheyโ€™re literally calling for the Vice President to be effing hung.โ€ As she recalled, โ€œMark had responded something to the effect of โ€˜You heard him, Pat. He thinks Mike deserves it. He doesnโ€™t think theyโ€™re doing anything wrong.โ€™ โ€ + +Finally, Hutchinson made it clear just how much Trump had wanted to join the insurrectionists on Capitol Hill. Trump was so incensed with his Secret Service detail for refusing to take him there, she testified, that he lunged at the agent driving his car and struggled for the wheel. The report corroborates Hutchinsonโ€™s testimony, saying that the โ€œvast majorityโ€ of its law-enforcement sources described a โ€œfurious interactionโ€ between the President and his security contingent in his S.U.V. The sources said that Trump was โ€œfurious,โ€ โ€œinsistent,โ€ โ€œprofane,โ€ and โ€œheated.โ€ The committee concluded that Trump had hoped to lead the effort to overturn the election either from inside the House chamber or from a stage outside the building. + +Hutchinson was equally forthright about Trumpโ€™s disregard for public safety. Despite being told that many of the supporters who came out to see him speak on January 6th were armed, she said, Trump insisted that the Secret Service remove the โ€œmagsโ€โ€”the metal detectors. He was not terribly concerned that someone might be killed or injured, so long as it wasnโ€™t him. โ€œI donโ€™t fucking care that they have weapons,โ€ he said, according to Hutchinson. โ€œTheyโ€™re not here to hurt me.โ€ + +The insurrection at the Capitol was of such grave consequence for liberal democracy and the rule of law that commentators have struggled ever since to find some historical precedent to provide context and understanding to a nation in a state of continuing crisis. Some thought immediately of the sack of the Capitol, in 1814, though the perpetrators then were foreign, soldiers of the British crown. Others have pointed to contested Presidential elections of the pastโ€”1824, 1876, 1960, 2000โ€”but those ballots were certified, peacefully and lawfully, by Congress. None of the losers sought to foment an uprising or create a national insurgency. Compare Trumpโ€™s self-absorption and rage with Al Goreโ€™s graceful acceptance of the Supreme Courtโ€™s decision handing the election to George W. Bush: โ€œTonight, for the sake of our unity as a people and the strength of our democracy, I offer my concession.โ€ + +Still, there have been efforts to overturn the constitutional order, notably in the โ€œsecession winterโ€ of 1860-61, when seven slaveholding states, having warned that they would never accept the election of Abraham Lincoln, declared themselves in opposition to the United States itself. As Lincoln prepared for his inauguration, to be held in March, he received a series of warnings that an army raised in Virginia might invade Washington, D.C. So prevalent were the rumors of a Confederate conspiracy that Congress assembled a committee to โ€œinquire whether a secret organization hostile to the government of the United States exists in the District of Columbia.โ€ Lincoln was particularly concerned about a potential plot to undermine the counting of electors, an event scheduled for February. In the end, John Breckinridge, James Buchananโ€™s Vice-President and a loser in the 1860 Presidential race, obeyed the law. Although Breckinridge was sympathetic to the secessionist cause, he presided with โ€œRoman fidelityโ€ at the certification vote, according to Representative Henry Dawes, of Massachusetts, โ€œand the nation was saved.โ€ But only temporarily. On April 12, 1861, the South Carolina militia opened fire on the Union garrison at Fort Sumter and the Civil War began. + +A civil war, in the nineteenth-century understanding of the term, is not at hand. But what makes the events of January 6, 2021, so alarming is that they were inspired and incited by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, who remains popular among so many Republicans and a contender to return to the White House. + +The events of January 6th were the culmination of a long campaign that Trump and members of his circle have led against the legitimacy of American elections. The campaignโ€™s most powerful weapon was the undermining of truth itself, the insidious deployment of conspiracy theories and โ€œalternative facts.โ€ + +Trump first announced his emergence from the worlds of New York real estate and reality-show television by declaring that Barack Obama, the first Black President, had been born in Kenya, not Hawaii, and was, therefore, ineligible to hold office. After joining the 2016 Presidential race, Trump continued to traffic in casual accusations and unfounded conspiracy theories: Ted Cruzโ€™s father was an associate of Lee Harvey Oswald. Antonin Scalia might have been murdered. Obama and Joe Biden might have staged the killing of Osama bin Laden with a body double. Trump welcomed the endorsement of the professional conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who had earlier claimed that Hillary Clinton had โ€œpersonally murdered and chopped up and rapedโ€ children, and that the mass murder at Sandy Hook had been โ€œstaged.โ€ The most consequential conspiracy theory of Trumpโ€™s political career, however, charged that American elections were rigged. + +In 2016, Trump, once he had a hold on the Republican Party nomination, began the process of undermining confidence in the entire electoral system. The reporter Jonathan Lemire, in his book, โ€œThe Big Lie,โ€ recalls attending a rally, in Columbus, Ohio, at which Trump told his followers, weeks before the nominating Convention, โ€œIโ€™m afraid the election is going to be rigged, I have to be honest.โ€ On Fox News, talking with Sean Hannity, Trump again expressed his doubts: โ€œI hope the Republicans are watching closely, or itโ€™s going to be taken away from us.โ€ Trump began to warn that he was not necessarily prepared to accede to the election results. At one of the Presidential debates, the moderator, Chris Wallace, asked Trump if he would make a commitment to accept the outcome, no matter what. Trump refused: โ€œI will look at it at the time. What Iโ€™ve seen is so bad.โ€ + +Clinton won the popular vote by a margin of more than two per cent, but, because she fell well short in the Electoral College, there was no compulsion on Trumpโ€™s part to consider extralegal action. But four years later, as Trump lagged behind Joe Biden in the polls, he revived the theme. โ€œMILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WILL BE PRINTED BY FOREIGN COUNTRIES, AND OTHERS,โ€ he tweeted. โ€œIT WILL BE THE SCANDAL OF OUR TIMES!โ€ Once more, Trump refused to promise a peaceful transfer of power. A month and a half before the election, he said, โ€œGet rid of the ballots and youโ€™ll have a very peacefulโ€”there wonโ€™t be a transfer, frankly. There will be a continuation.โ€ + +This kind of rhetoric was of grave concern to Democrats, including Speaker Pelosi, who privately told confidants, โ€œHeโ€™s going to try to steal it.โ€ And, not long after the voting ended, the tweets from Trump began: + +> Last night I was leading, often solidly, in many key States, in almost all instances Democrat run & controlled. Then, one by one, they started to magically disappear as surprise ballot dumps were counted. VERY STRANGE, and the pollsters got it completely & historically wrong! + +> They are finding Biden votes all over the placeโ€”in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. So bad for our Country! + +On November 7th, the Associated Press, Fox News, and, soon, all the other major news outlets called Pennsylvania, and the election, for Biden. The battleground statesโ€”Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, and Wisconsinโ€”all went Bidenโ€™s way, and, in the end, he won 306 electoral votes to Trumpโ€™s 232. In his victory speech, the President-elect said, โ€œItโ€™s time to put away the harsh rhetoric. To lower the temperature.โ€ + +This was a vain hope. As the Trump White House emptied, a motley assemblage of satraps and third-ratersโ€”Giuliani; a former federal prosecutor, Sidney Powell; the MyPillow C.E.O., Mike Lindell; the former law professor and Federalist Society leader John Eastmanโ€”stayed behind to encourage Trump in his most conspiratorial fantasies and schemes. In their effort to challenge election results in various states, Trumpโ€™s lawyers filed sixty-two federal and state lawsuits. They lost sixty-one of those suits, winning only on an inconsequential technical matter in Pennsylvania. By mid-December, even Mitch McConnell began referring to โ€œPresident-elect Joe Biden.โ€ When Trump called to berate him for conceding the ballot, McConnell, for once, stood up to him. โ€œThe Electoral College has spoken,โ€ he said. โ€œYou lost the election.โ€ + +The only option Trump had left was to challenge the certification of the vote. With Eastman in the lead, his team concocted a plan that called on Vice-President Pence to declare that voting in seven states was still in dispute and to eliminate those electors. If the remaining forty-three states put forward their electors, Trump would win the election, 232โ€“222. As part of that planโ€”what Chairman Thompson called, from the first day of the hearings, โ€œan attempted coupโ€โ€”Trump pressured government and election officials to coรถperate. Former Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue testified that Trump did not conceal his intent, telling Donoghue, โ€œWhat Iโ€™m asking you to do is just say it was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen.โ€ Once Trump unleashed his campaign of intimidation against local election officials, the death threats against those officials came from all directions. Ruby Freeman, an election worker in Georgia, testified, โ€œThere is nowhere I feel safe. Nowhere. Do you know how it feels to have the President of the United States target you?โ€ + +Another version of the plan had Pence calling for a ten-day-long recess and sending the slates back to the so-called โ€œdisputedโ€ states. Eastman himself conceded that this plan would be rejected unanimously by the Supreme Court. Even so, the White House could surely be retained if Trump could convince Pence to โ€œdo the right thing.โ€ + +On the night of January 5th, the President met with Pence at the White House and tried to pressure him into adopting the scheme that Eastman had devised. For years, Pence had been the most loyal of deputies, never daring to challenge the falsehoods or the cruelties of his master. Trump, after all, had rescued him from political oblivion. But Pence would not go along with the plot. His job on January 6th, he told the President, was ceremonial. He was only there โ€œto open envelopes.โ€ + +Trump was outraged. โ€œYouโ€™ve betrayed us,โ€ he told Pence. โ€œI made you. You were nothing.โ€ + +The committeeโ€™s report is not a work of scholarship removed from its era. It was compiled by politicians and staff members and published at a moment of continuing peril and uncertainty. And the committee was formed in the contrails of the terrifying episode it was charged with investigating. + +Although an abundance of new details has surfaced, the contours of what happened have never been in doubt. The events on January 6, 2021, began with a well-planned rally on the Ellipse, the fifty-two-acre park south of the White House. Trump had tweeted in advance, โ€œBe there, will be wild!โ€ Katrina Pierson, a spokeswoman for Trumpโ€™s 2016 campaign and one of the organizers of the rally, had texted another organizer saying that Trump โ€œlikes the crazies,โ€ and wanted Alex Jones to be among the speakers. Jones did not speak, but Trump himself supplied the inflammatory rhetoric. In the seventy-minute-long speech he gave on the Ellipse, he told his followers they would โ€œsave our democracyโ€ by rejecting โ€œa fake election,โ€ and warned them that โ€œif you donโ€™t fight like hell, youโ€™re not going to have a country anymore.โ€ He taunted his Vice-President: โ€œMike Pence, I hope you're going to stand up for the good of our Constitution and for the good of our country. And if youโ€™re not, Iโ€™m going to be very disappointed in you.โ€ He set a tone of combativeness, defiance, and eternal resistance. And he put the life of his own Vice-President in jeopardy. As Chairman Thompson put it at one hearing, โ€œDonald Trump turned the mob on him.โ€ + +Even though senior officials around Trump had told him that it was long past time to step asideโ€”William Barr informed congressional investigators that he told Trump that reports of voting fraud were โ€œbullshitโ€โ€”Trump refused to listen. (โ€œI thought, boy, if he really believes this stuff, he has, you know, lost contact with, heโ€™s become detached from reality,โ€ Barr recalled.) Trump was unrelenting. โ€œWe will never give up,โ€ he told the crowd on the Ellipse. โ€œWe will never concede. It doesnโ€™t happen. You donโ€™t concede when thereโ€™s theft involved. Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore.โ€ After listening to the Presidentโ€™s repeated calls to fight, and to march to the Capitol buildingโ€”โ€œyouโ€™ll never take back our country with weaknessโ€โ€”thousands of his followers, some of them armed, some of them carrying Confederate symbols, some deploying flagpoles as spears, headed toward Capitol Hill. + +As the march began, at around 1 *p.m.*, Representative Paul Gosar, of Arizona, and Senator Ted Cruz, of Texas, both conservative Republicans, rose in Congress to object to the counting of the electoral ballots from Arizona. But Pence had already told Trump he would not go along with his plot, and there was no sign that Gosar, Cruz, and Trumpโ€™s loyalists in Congress had the numbers to succeed. McConnell, at that time the Senate Majority Leader, said, โ€œVoters, the courts, and the states have all spokenโ€”theyโ€™ve all spoken. If we overrule them all, it would damage our republic forever.โ€ + +By 2 *p.m.*, demonstrators began to overrun the Capitol Police, sometimes using improvised weapons. Caroline Edwards, of the Capitol Police, testified to the committee that there was โ€œcarnageโ€ in the halls: โ€œI was slipping in peopleโ€™s blood.โ€ The insurrectionists kept coming, breaking through windows and doors, assaulting police officers, and, once inside, they went hunting for the Vice-President, the Speaker of the House, and other officials who refused to participate in the Presidentโ€™s scheme to overturn the election. At around 2:20 *p.m.*, the Senate, and then the House, went into emergency recess, as Capitol Police officers rushed members of both chambers to safety. The two Democratic congressional leaders, Nancy Pelosi and Charles Schumer, fearing for their lives and the lives of their colleagues, were reduced to sequestering in a safe location. In the final session of the committeeโ€™s investigation, we saw footage of Pelosi, enraged yet composed, deploying her cell phone to get someone to come to the aid of the legislative branch. + +Trump watched these events on television at the White House with scant sense of alarm. He refused to send additional police or troops to quell the violence. At 2:24 *p.m.*, he tweeted, โ€œMike Pence didnโ€™t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution.โ€ By 3 *p.m.*, insurrectionists, some of them in cosplay battle gear, had swarmed into the Senate chamber. Trumpโ€™s passivity was not passivity at all. As Adam Kinzinger put it, โ€œPresident Trump did not fail to act. He chose not to act.โ€ Liz Cheney was no less blunt. โ€œHe refused to defend our nation and our Constitution,โ€ she said during the hearings. โ€œI say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible, there will come a day when Donald Trump is gone. But your dishonor will remain.โ€ + +For Trump, the choice was simple. The insurrectionists were his people, his shock troops, there to do his bidding. Nothing about the spectacle seemed to disturb him: not the gallows erected outside the building, not the savage beatings, not threats to Pence and Pelosi, not graffiti like โ€œMurder the Media,โ€ not the chants of โ€œ1776! 1776!โ€ And so he ignored calls to action even from his own party. At 3:11 *p.m.*, Mike Gallagher, a Republican from Wisconsin, tweeted, โ€œWe are witnessing absolute banana republic crap in the United States Capitol right now. @realdonaldtrump you need to call this off.โ€ Trump would not tell his supporters to go home until the early evening, when the damage had been done. + +And though Trump and the insurrectionists failed to halt the certification of the ballot, they did get substantial support: a hundred and forty-seven Republicans in Congress voted to overturn the election results. At 3:42 *a.m.* on January 7th, Vice-President Pence, speaking to a joint session of Congress, certified the election of Joe Biden as the forty-sixth President of the United States. When, however, the midterms were held, two years later, dozens of Republican candidates continued to claim that his election was fraudulent. Those few Republicans, like Liz Cheney, who took a stand against Trump were swept out of office. + +January 6th was a phenomenon rooted both in the degraded era of Trump and in the radicalization of a major political party during the past generation. The very power of these developments explains why many people may approach this congressional report with a sense of fatigue, even denial. Part of Trumpโ€™s dark achievement has been to bludgeon the political attention of the country into submission. + +When a nation has been subjected to that degree of cynicismโ€”what is politely called โ€œdivisivenessโ€โ€”it can lose its ability to experience outrage. As a result, the prospect of engaging with this congressional inquiry into Trumpโ€™s attempt to delegitimatize the machinery of electoral democracy is sometimes a challenge to the spirit. That is both understandable and a public danger. And yet a citizenry that can no longer bring itself to pay attention to such an investigation or to absorb its astonishing findings risks moving even farther toward a disturbing โ€œnew normalโ€: a post-truth, post-democratic America. + +A republic is predicated on faithโ€”not religious faith but a faith in the fundamental legitimacy of its political institutions and the decisions they issue. To concede the legitimacy of statutes, rulings, and election returns is not necessarily to favor them. Itโ€™s simply to participate in the basic system that gives them form and force; citizens can, through democratic machinery, seek to defeat or contest candidates they deplore, initiatives that offend them, court opinions they consider misguided. By contrast, the campaign that culminated in the Capitol attack of January 6th was, fatefully, against democracy itself. It sought to instill profound mistrust in the process of votingโ€”the mechanism through which, even in highly imperfect democracies, accountability is ultimately secured. + +The committee and its work were far from apolitical, and yet to dismiss the report as *merely* political would be a perilous act of resignation and defeatism. The questions that hovered over the inquiry from the startโ€”what more is there to learn? who is really listening?โ€”persisted and loomed over the midterm elections. When the hearings began, the polling outfit FiveThirtyEight reported that Trumpโ€™s approval rating was 41.9 per cent; when the hearings ended, it was 40.4 per cent, a minuscule dip. As Susan B. Glasser, of *The New Yorker*, wrote, โ€œAll that damning evidence, and the polls were basically unchanged. The straight line in the former Presidentโ€™s approval rating is the literal representation of the crisis in American democracy. There is an essentially immovable forty per cent of the country whose loyalty to Donald Trump cannot be shaken by anything.โ€ And yet the Republicans failed in their promise to produce a โ€œred waveโ€ in the midterms. The Democrats maintained their slender hold on the Senate and lost far fewer seats in the House than was expected. And while the reasons behind the Republican failure were many, ranging from the imperilment of abortion rights to the dismal quality of so many of the Partyโ€™s candidates, it was clear that one of the principal reasons was a deep concern about the future of democracy. + +The most urgent thing to learn is whether a two-and-a-half-century-old republic will resist future efforts to undercut its foundationsโ€”to steal, through concerted deception, the essential legitimacy of its constitutional order. The contents of the report insist that complacency is not an option. The report also insists on accountability, though that will ultimately be the responsibility of the Department of Justice and the American public. The report has provided the evidence, the truth. Now it remains to be seen if it will be acted upon. + +The violation of January 6th was ultimately so brazen that many of Trumpโ€™s own loyalists could not, in the end, bring themselves to defend him. Even some on the radical right have come to recognize the insurrectionโ€™s implications for the future. Jason van Tatenhove was once the media spokesman for the militia group known as the Oath Keepers, which played a crucial role in the uprising. He left the group well before January 6th, but he remained well connected enough to know that the Oath Keepers were eager to take part in an โ€œarmed revolution.โ€ Testifying before the committee, he expressed his sense of betrayal by Donald Trump, and a growing sense of alarm: โ€œIf a President thatโ€™s willing to try to instill and encourage, to whip up, a civil war among his followers uses lies and deceit and snake oil, regardless of the human impact, what else is he going to do?โ€ + +Trump is running again for President. Perhaps his decline is irreversible. But it would be foolish to count on that. Should he win back the White House, he will come to office with no sense of restraint. He will inevitably be an even more radical, more resentful, more chaotic, more authoritarian version of his earlier self. And he would hardly be an isolated figure in the capital. Following the results of the midterm elections, Congress is now populated with dozens of election deniers and many more who still dare not defy Trump. The stakes could not be higher. If you are reaching for optimismโ€”and despair is not an optionโ€”the existence and the depth of the committeeโ€™s project represents a kind of hope. It represents an insistence on truth and democratic principle. In the words of the man who tried and failed to overturn a Presidential election, you donโ€™t concede when thereโ€™s theft involved.ย โ™ฆ + +  +  + +--- +`$= dv.el('center', 'Source: ' + dv.current().Link + ', ' + dv.current().Date.toLocaleString("fr-FR"))` \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/00.03 News/The Dystopian Underworld of South Africaโ€™s Illegal Gold Mines.md b/00.03 News/The Dystopian Underworld of South Africaโ€™s Illegal Gold Mines.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..55cae29a --- /dev/null +++ b/00.03 News/The Dystopian Underworld of South Africaโ€™s Illegal Gold Mines.md @@ -0,0 +1,187 @@ +--- + +Tag: ["๐Ÿ“ˆ", "๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ", "โ›๏ธ", "๐Ÿš“"] +Date: 2023-02-26 +DocType: "WebClipping" +Hierarchy: +TimeStamp: 2023-02-26 +Link: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/02/27/the-dystopian-underworld-of-south-africas-illegal-gold-mines?utm_source=nl&utm_brand=tny&utm_mailing=TNY_Magazine_022123&utm_campaign=aud-dev&utm_medium=email&bxid=5be9e55a3f92a40469fae383&cndid=32244289&hasha=be99506b1a9cd1f2a88f814997b8821a&hashb=a3b2dca3a498bf0a5d5f42d4205904877f4c5144&hashc=9fb17f26396e6704ed7b4d6a010f38f41cbd03bf0d85802d00c7b49aefebd89c&esrc=newsletters-form-sig&utm_term=TNY_Magazine +location: +CollapseMetaTable: true + +--- + +Parent:: [[@News|News]] +Read:: [[2023-02-28]] + +--- + +  + +```button +name Save +type command +action Save current file +id Save +``` +^button-TheUnderworldofSouthAfricaIllegalGoldMinesNSave + +  + +# The Dystopian Underworld of South Africaโ€™s Illegal Gold Mines + +A few years ago, a mining company was considering reopening an old mine shaft in Welkom, a city in South Africaโ€™s interior. Welkom was once the center of the worldโ€™s richest goldfields. There were close to fifty shafts in an area roughly the size of Brooklyn, but most of these mines had been shut down in the past three decades. Large deposits of gold remained, though the ore was of poor grade and situated at great depths, making it prohibitively expensive to mine on an industrial scale. The shafts in Welkom were among the deepest that had ever been sunk, plunging vertically for a mile or more and opening, at different levels, onto cavernous horizontal passages that narrowed toward the gold reefs: a labyrinthine network of tunnels far beneath the city. + +Most of the surface infrastructure for this particular mine had been dismantled several years prior, but there was still a hole in the groundโ€”a concrete cylinder roughly seven thousand feet deep. To assess the mineโ€™s condition, a team of specialists lowered a camera down the shaft with a winding machine designed for rescue missions. The footage shows a darkened tunnel, some thirty feet in diameter, with an internal frame of large steel girders. The camera descends at five feet per second. At around eight hundred feet, moving figures appear in the distance, travelling downward at almost the same speed. It is two men sliding down the girders. They have neither helmets nor ropes, and their forearms are protected by sawed-off gum boots. The camera continues its descent, leaving the men in darkness. Twisted around the horizontal beams below themโ€”at sixteen hundred feet, at twenty-six hundred feetโ€”are corpses: the remains of men who have fallen, or perhaps been thrown, to their deaths. The bottom third of the shaft is badly damaged, preventing the camera from going farther. If there are other bodies, they may never be found. + +As Welkomโ€™s mining industry collapsed, in the nineteen-nineties, a dystopian criminal economy emerged in its place, with thousands of men entering the abandoned tunnels and using rudimentary tools to dig for the leftover ore. With few overhead costs or safety standards, these outlaw miners, in some cases, could strike it rich. Many others remained in poverty, or died underground. The miners became known as *zama-zamas*, a Zulu term that loosely translates to โ€œtake a chance.โ€ Most were immigrants from neighboring countriesโ€”Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Lesothoโ€”that once sent millions of mine workers to South Africa, and whose economies were heavily dependent on mining wages. โ€œYou started seeing these new men in the townships,โ€ Pitso Tsibolane, a man who grew up in Welkom, explained to me. โ€œTheyโ€™re not dressed like locals, donโ€™t talk like localsโ€”theyโ€™re just there. And then they vanish, and you know theyโ€™re back underground.โ€ + +Owing to the difficulty of entering the mines, *zama-zamas* often stayed underground for months, their existence illuminated by headlamps. Down below, temperatures can exceed a hundred degrees, with suffocating humidity. Rockfalls are common, and rescuers have encountered bodies crushed by boulders the size of cars. โ€œI think they all go through hell,โ€ a doctor in Welkom, who has treated dozens of *zama-zamas*, told me. The men he saw had turned gray for lack of sunlight, their bodies were emaciated, and most of them had tuberculosis from inhaling dust in the unventilated tunnels. They were blinded for hours upon returning to the surface. + +I recently met a *zama-zama* named Simon who once lived underground for two years. Born in a rural area of Zimbabwe, he arrived in Welkom in 2010. He started digging for gold at the surface, which was dusted with ore from the industryโ€™s heyday. There was gold beside the railway tracks that had once transported rock from the mines, gold among the foundations of torn-down processing plants, gold in the beds of ephemeral streams. But Simon was earning only around thirty-five dollars a day. He aspired to build a house and open a business. To get more gold, he would need to go underground. + +In no other country in the world does illegal mining take place inside such colossal industrial shafts. In the past twenty years, *zama-zamas* have spread across South Africaโ€™s gold-mining areas, becoming a national crisis. Analysts have estimated that illegal mining accounts for around a tenth of South Africaโ€™s annual gold production, though mining companies, wary of alarming investors, tend to downplay the extent of the criminal trade. The operations underground are controlled by powerful syndicates, which then launder the gold into legal supply chains. The properties that have made gold useful as a store of valueโ€”notably the ease with which it can be melted down into new formsโ€”also make it difficult to trace. A wedding band, a cell-phone circuit board, and an investment coin may all contain gold that was mined by *zama-zamas*. + +Welkom, once an economic engine of the apartheid state, emerged as an earlyโ€”and especially direโ€”hot spot for illegal mining. Since 2007, officials in the Free State province, where Welkom is situated, have recovered the bodies of more than seven hundred *zama-zamas*โ€”but not all deaths are reported to the authorities, and many bodies remain belowground. โ€œWe call it the *zama* graveyard,โ€ a forensic officer said in a 2017 news interview, following an underground explosion that killed more than forty people. In decommissioned mines, the ventilation systems no longer function, and harmful gases accumulate. At certain concentrations of methane, a mine becomes a bomb that can be detonated by the merest spark; even rocks knocking against each other can set off a blast. In Johannesburg, about a hundred and fifty miles northeast of Welkom, there are fears that illegal miners may cause gas pipelines to explode, including those beneath Africaโ€™s largest soccer stadium. + +But perhaps the biggest dangers stem from the syndicates that have seized control of the illicit gold economy. Organized crime is rampant in South Africaโ€”โ€œan existential threat,โ€ according to a recent analysis from the Global Initiative Againstย Transnational Organized Crimeโ€”and gold-mining gangs are especially notorious. Armed militias war over turf, both at the surface and underground, carrying out raids and executions. Officials have discovered groups of corpses that have been bludgeoned with hammers or had their throats slit. + +In Welkom, getting underground became impossible without paying protection fees to the criminal groups in charge. By 2015, just nine shafts were still operating, in spots where there was ore of sufficient grade to justify the expense of hauling it out. Some syndicates took advantage of these shafts, bribing employees to let the *zama-zamas* ride โ€œthe cageโ€โ€”the transport elevatorโ€”and then walk to areas where mining had ceased. There were also dozens of abandoned shafts, including separate ventilation channels and ducts for subsurface cables. โ€œCompanies have difficulty plugging all the holes,โ€ a 2009 report on illegal mining noted. Each of these provided openings for *zama-zamas*. The miners climbed down ladders made of sticks and conveyor-belt rubber, which deteriorated over time and sometimes snapped. Or they were lowered into the darkness by teams of men, or behind vehicles that reversed slowly for a mile or farther, the ropes feeding over makeshift pulleys above the shaft. Sometimes the ropes would break, or a patrol would arrive, causing the men at the surface to let go. There were stories of syndicates deceiving miners, promising them a ride in the cage, only to force them to climb down the girders. Men who refused were thrown over the edge, with some victims taking around twenty seconds to hit the bottom. + +In 2015, Simon entered the mines by paying a thousand dollars to a local syndicate boss, known as David One Eye, who allowed him to walk into the tunnels via an inclined shaft just south of Welkom. One Eye, a former *zama-zama* himself, had risen from obscurity to become one of the most fearsome figures in the region. He was powerfully built from lifting weights, and he had lost his left eye in a shooting. + +[](https://www.newyorker.com/cartoon/a27459) + +โ€œYouโ€™re leaving already? But itโ€™s your apartment.โ€ + +Cartoon by Drew Panckeri + +The syndicate would charge Simon more than twice as much to exit the mines. He remained underground for almost a year, subsisting on food provided by One Eyeโ€™s runners. He came away with too little money, so he went into the mines again, paying the same syndicate to lower him with a rope. He became accustomed to life underground: the heat, the dust, the darkness. He planned to remain there until he was no longer poor, but in the end he came out because he was starving. + +*Zama-zamas* are a nightmarish late chapter in an industry that, more than any other, has shaped South Africaโ€™s history. Surface-level gold deposits were discovered in the area that became Johannesburg, sparking a gold rush in 1886. Twelve years later, the new South African mines were providing a quarter of the worldโ€™s gold. (To date, the country has produced more than forty per cent of all the gold ever mined.) + +The reefs that outcropped in Johannesburg extend deep underground, making up part of the Witwatersrand basin, a geological formation that stretches in an arc two hundred and fifty miles long. Extracting this gold required tremendous inputs of labor and capital. The Chamber of Mines once likened the basin to โ€œa fat 1,200-page dictionary lying at an angle. The gold bearing reef would be thinner than a single page, and the amount of gold contained therein would hardly cover a couple of commas.โ€ Complicating matters further, this page had been โ€œtwisted and tornโ€ by geological forces, leaving fragments โ€œthrust between other leaves of the book.โ€ + +In the nineteen-thirties, mining companies began prospecting in a different provinceโ€”a sparsely populated area that would later be called the Free State. After the Second World War, one borehole produced a sample โ€œso astonishing that financial editors refused to believe the press release,โ€ the historian Jade Davenport wrote, in โ€œDigging Deep: A History of Mining in South Africa.โ€ The yield was more than five hundred times richer than a usual profitable return, propelling the international gold-shares market โ€œinto complete dementia.โ€ Land values in the nearest village increased more than two-hundredfold within a week. + +But these new goldfields needed to be developed from scratch. There was no electricity or potable water. Vast maize fields spread across the grasslands. In 1947, a mining house called the Anglo American Corporation received permission to establish a new town, to be called Welkomโ€”โ€œwelcomeโ€ in Afrikaans. The companyโ€™s founder, Ernest Oppenheimer, who was the richest man in South Africa, tasked a British planner named William Backhouse with designing the settlement. Inspired by housing developments in England, Backhouse envisaged a garden city with satellite towns and ample greenbelts. There would be wide boulevards and circles to direct the flow of traffic. At the outset, Oppenheimerโ€™s son wrote, the region was โ€œdepressing in the extremeโ€: flat and featureless, choked by frequent dust storms, with a single acacia tree, which was later designated a local monument. Eventually, the city was planted with more than a million trees. + +Across South Africa, white mine workers were perpetually in demand, owing to laws that limited Black people to menial and labor-intensive jobs. To attract white workers and skilled technicians away from the Witwatersrand, the Anglo American Corporation built subsidized houses in Welkom, along with lavish recreational facilities such as cricket fields and a horse-riding club. By 1950, Welkom was growing at an average rate of two families per day. โ€œWelkom is going to be the showplace of South Africa!โ€ the national finance minister declared on an official visit. + +The economic logic of the mines also demanded an inexhaustible supply of cheap Black labor. Restricted from unionizing until the late nineteen-seventies, Black mine workers performed gruelling and dangerous tasks, such as wielding heavy drills in cramped spaces and shovelling rock; tens of thousands died in accidents, and many more contracted lung diseases. To prevent competition among companies, which would have driven up wages, the Chamber of Mines operated as a central recruiting agency for Black workers from across Southern Africa; between 1910 and 1960, according to one estimate, five million mine workers travelled between South Africa and Mozambique alone. Expanding the labor pool helped the mining industry depress Black wages, which remained almost static for more than five decades. By 1969, the pay gap between white and Black workers had reached twenty to one. + +In Welkom, a separate township was built for Black residents, set apart from the city by an industrial area and two mine dumps. One of the city plannersโ€™ main goals, according to a history of Welkom from the nineteen-sixties, was to โ€œprevent the outskirts of the town being marred by Bantu squatters.โ€ Named Thabong, or โ€œPlace of Joy,โ€ the township lay in the path of the dust from the mines. Segregated mining towns, which dated back to the nineteenth century, laid a foundation for South Africaโ€™s apartheid system, which was formally introduced the year after Welkom was founded. Every evening, a siren sounded at seven oโ€™clock, announcing a curfew for Black people, who faced arrest if they stayed too late in the white part of town. + +Oppenheimer had imagined Welkom as โ€œa town of permanence and beauty.โ€ The cornerstone of the civic center, an imposing set of buildings laid out in the shape of a horseshoe, was a twenty-four-inch slab of gold-bearing reef. The council chambers were furnished in walnut, with crystal chandeliers imported from Vienna. There was a banquet hall and one of South Africaโ€™s finest theatres. In 1971, just three years after the complex was unveiled, a guidebook to South African architecture described the design as โ€œperhaps too ambitious for a town which will, in all probability, have a limited life.โ€ + +The crash came in 1989. The price of gold had fallen by nearly two-thirds from its peak, inflation was rising, and investors were wary of instability during South Africaโ€™s transition to democracy. (Nelson Mandela was freed the following year.) The rise of powerful unions, in the final years of apartheid, meant that it was no longer possible for the industry to pay Black workers โ€œslave wages,โ€ as the former chairman of one large mining company told me. The Free State goldfields eventually laid off more than a hundred and fifty thousand mine workers, or eighty per cent of the workforce. The region was almost wholly reliant on mining, and Welkomโ€™s economy was especially undiversified. The townโ€™s sprawling urban design was also expensive to maintain, leading to a โ€œdeath spiral,โ€ Lochner Marais, a professor of developmental studies at the University of the Free State, told me. + +I first visited Welkom in late 2021. As I drove into the city, Google Maps announced that I had arrived, but around me it was dark. Then my headlights picked out a suburban home, followed by another. The entire neighborhood was without electricity. South Africa is in the midst of an energy crisis and experiences frequent scheduled power outages, but that was not the cause of this blackout. Rather, it was symptomatic of chronic local dysfunction, in a municipality ranked South Africaโ€™s second worst in a 2021 report on financial sustainability. + +Welkom is surrounded by enormous flat-topped mine dumps that rise from the plains like mesas. The roads have been devoured by potholes. Several years ago, *zama-zamas* began breaking open wastewater pipes to process gold ore, which requires large volumes of water. They also attacked sewage plants, extracting gold from the sludge itself. Now untreated sewage flows in the streets. In addition, *zama-zamas* stripped copper cables from around town and within the mines. Cable theft became so rampant that Welkom experienced power failures several times per week. + +As the gold-mining companies scaled back in South Africa, they left behind wasted landscapes and extensive subterranean workings, including railway lines and locomotives, intact winders and cages, and thousands of miles of copper cable. Many companies had devised protocols for withdrawing from depleted mines, but these were seldom followed; likewise, government regulations around mine closures were weakly enforced. โ€œItโ€™s as if they just locked the doorโ€”โ€˜Now weโ€™re done,โ€™ย โ€ a mine security officer said of the companies. Shafts were often sold many times over, the constant changing of hands allowing companies to evade responsibility for rehabilitation. By the early two-thousands, according to authorities, South Africa had a large number of โ€œderelict and ownerlessโ€ gold mines across the country, creating opportunities for illegal mining. Mining researchers in South Africa sometimes joke that the story of gold mining runs from AA to ZZโ€”from multinationals like Anglo American to *zama-zamas*. + +Authorities first became aware of the burgeoning illegal-mining industry in the nineties. A fire broke out in one of Welkomโ€™s operational shafts, and a rescue team was called to extinguish it. The team discovered several dead bodiesโ€”the suspected victims of carbon-monoxide inhalation. The managers of the mine were not missing any workers, and the dead men were carrying no identification. They had been mining illegally in a disused area. โ€œWe werenโ€™t aware something like this could happen,โ€ a member of the rescue team recalled. A few years later, in 1999, police arrested twenty-eight *zama-zamas* in a nearby section of the tunnels. The men, laid-off mine workers, knew their way around like spelunkers in a cave network. An investigator involved in the arrest described them to me as โ€œthe forefathers of underground illegal mining in South Africa.โ€ + +Even before there were *zama-zamas*, South Africa had a thriving black market for gold. In 1996, a security manager at one of the countryโ€™s biggest mining houses prepared a report about gold theft, which he described as โ€œthe least reported and talked about criminal activity in South Africa.โ€ Back then, workers often pilfered gold from processing plants. One cleaner smuggled out gold-bearing material in a bucket of water; painters on the roof of a facility removed gold through the air vents. An employee was caught with gold inside his tobacco pipe; he didnโ€™t smoke, but had been using this method to steal for twenty years. Others used slingshots to shoot gold over security fences or flushed gold, wrapped in condoms, down the toilet, which they retrieved from nearby sewage plants. One official was observed, several times, leaving a facility with potted plants from his office; a security officer sampled the soil, which was rich in gold concentrate. + +In Welkom, the main destination for stolen gold was in Thabong, at a dormitory known as G Hostel. During apartheid, hostels housed migrant workers as a way of preventing them from settling permanently in cities; these hostels have since become notorious for crime and violence. G Hostel had multiple entrances and was difficult to surveil. It functioned as an illicit smelting house, where teams of men would crush and wash the gold, then process it into ingots. Following the rise of *zama-zamas*, G Hostel developed into one of the largest gold-smuggling centers in the country. Eventually, around twenty-five hundred people were crammed into the compound, many of them undocumented immigrants. Police frequently conducted raids; in 1998, officers recovered more than ten metric tons of gold-bearing material. One dealer had been selling an average of a hundred ounces of gold per day. + +During a raid in the early two-thousands, police arrested a *zama-zama* from Mozambique who gave his name as David Khombi. He was wearing a white vest, tattered cutoff jeans, and flip-flops. Khombi lived at the compound, where he supplemented his income by cutting hair, mending shoes, and tailoring Mozambican garments. Not long after the arrest, he was released and went underground, where he earned a small fortune, a former member of his inner circle told me. According to an expert on the illegal gold trade in the Free State, by 2008 Khombi had โ€œstarted building his empire.โ€ + +In South Africa, gold smuggling is loosely organized into a pyramid structure. At the bottom are the miners, who sell to local buyers, who sell to regional buyers, who sell to national buyers; at the top are international gold dealers. The margins at each level are typically lowโ€”unlike many other illicit products, the market price of gold is publicโ€”and turning a profit requires substantial investments of capital, Marcena Hunter, an analyst who studies illicit gold flows, told me. To move upward, Khombi focussed his attention on a different commodity: food. + +Sustaining thousands of *zama-zamas* underground is a complex and lucrative exercise in logistics. At first, many illegal miners in the Free State purchased food from legal mine workers, who sold their rations at inflated prices. But as the mines laid people off, and the number of *zama-zamas* grew, the syndicates began providing food directly. A new economy developedโ€”one that could be even more profitable than gold. Men underground had little bargaining power, and markups on food usually ranged from five hundred to a thousand per cent. A loaf of bread that cost less than ten rand at the surface sold for a hundred rand down below. Fixed prices were set for peanuts, tinned fish, powdered milk, Morvite (a high-energy sorghum porridge originally developed for feeding mine workers), and biltong, a South African jerky. + +*Zama-zamas* could also purchase such items as cigarettes, marijuana, washing powder, toothpaste, batteries, and headlamps. They paid with the cash they made from selling gold; when they were flush, some miners celebrated with buckets of KFC, which were available underground for upward of a thousand rand. Around a decade ago, one KFC in Welkom was supplying so much food to gold syndicates that customers started avoiding it: orders took forever, items on the menu ran out, and meals were often undercooked. Police contacted the owner, who agreed to notify them whenever large orders came in. On one occasion, officers observed a truck picking up eighty buckets of chicken. + +Khombi began paying men to shop at wholesalers, package the goods in layers of cardboard and bubble wrap, and then drop the fortified parcels down the shafts. (They often used ventilation channels, the powerful updrafts slowing the rate at which the supplies fell.) As his earnings increased, Khombi began buying gold from *zama-zamas*, profiting doubly from their labor. He built a large house in Thabong, where he developed a reputation for sharing his wealthโ€”โ€œlike a philanthropist,โ€ one community activist told me. During his rise to prominence, he also made enemies. He was later shot in the face, but survived, and became known as David One Eye. + +[](https://www.newyorker.com/cartoon/a27405) + +โ€œAnd so Lucas and all his friends simply chose to ignore the metaverse, and in the end it went awayย .ย .ย .โ€ + +Cartoon by Hartley Lin + +One afternoon, I met a former *zama-zama* whom Iโ€™ll refer to as Jonathan. He spent a year in the tunnels around 2013. โ€œWe were thousands underground,โ€ he recalled. The men worked bare-chested because of the heat, and they slept on makeshift bunks. Khombi controlled the supply of food, and there were deliveries of beer and meatโ€”โ€œeverything,โ€ Jonathan said. For nearly three months, Jonathan was dependent on a group of more experienced miners, who guided him through the tunnels and shared their supplies. Finding and extracting gold required considerable expertise, and some *zama-zamas* were able to read the rock like mineralogists. But there were also other jobs underground, and Jonathan found work as a welder, producing small mills, known as *pendukas*, for crushing ore. The other miners paid him in gold. + +Access to the tunnels was controlled, increasingly, by armed gangs from Lesotho, to whom Khombi paid protection fees. Known as the Marashea, or โ€œRussians,โ€ these gangs traced their origins to mining compounds on the Witwatersrand, where Basotho laborers banded together in the nineteen-forties. (Their name was inspired by the Russian Army, whose members were โ€œunderstood to have been fierce and successful fighters,โ€ the historian Gary Kynoch wrote, in โ€œWe Are Fighting the World: A History of the Marashea Gangs in South Africa, 1947โ€“1999.โ€) The Marashea dressed in gum boots, balaclavas, and traditional woollen blankets, worn clasped beneath the chin. Following the rise of illegal mining, they muscled in on the shafts. They carried weaponsโ€”assault rifles, Uzis, shotgunsโ€”and fought viciously over abandoned mines. Accordion players affiliated with the gangs wrote songs taunting their enemies, like drill rappers with nineteenth-century instruments. + +Working with factions of the Marashea, Khombi seized control of large areas of the Free State goldfields. He structured his illicit business almost like a mine, with separate divisions for food, gold, and security. As his wealth grew, he and his wife acquired extravagant tastes. They built a second home in Thabong, so ornate that it drew comparisons to a compound built by Jacob Zuma, South Africaโ€™s notoriously corrupt former President. On Instagram, Khombi posted photographs of himself wearing Italian suits and flexing his biceps in tight-fitting tees. (One caption: โ€œEveryone talks about motherโ€™s love but no one talks about a fatherโ€™s sacrifice.โ€) He bought a fleet of cars, including a customized Range Rover worth an estimated quarter-million dollars, and opened a pair of night clubs in Thabong, rising above a sea of metal shacks. His wife, who was from an extremely poor family, began dressing in Gucci and Balenciaga, and often flew to Johannesburg for shopping trips. + +In the nineteen-fifties, according to Welkom records, there were white women who โ€œmade a point of flying regularly to Johannesburg for a dayโ€™s shopping.โ€ Their husbands, who worked in the mines, were โ€œabsolutely fearless, accepting hazard and risk, with a terrific driving force to earn the maximum possible amount of money.โ€ The structure of the company town guaranteed that, for its white residents, there was plenty of money in circulation. Khombi rose to the top of a new hierarchy, one that enriched a different set of bosses but was similarly based on Black labor. + +Today, a row of grand banks stands mostly shuttered, a putt-putt course has been taken over by drug dealers, and the public gardens are strewn with trash and stripped cables. This past November, a clock tower outside the civic center, considered one of Welkomโ€™s landmarks, displayed a different incorrect time on each of its three faces, with a faded banner for an event in 2018. The commercial district has retreated into the Goldfields Mall, which was built in the nineteen-eighties; it has a giant statue of a rhinoceros out front. (In December, they gave the statue a Christmas hat.) + +I met a former police reservist there one morning. He asked to be identified as Charles. For around nine years, he was on Khombiโ€™s payroll, selling him gold confiscated from rival dealers, protecting him, and escorting *zama-zamas* to the mines. Charles used the money to buy a new car and pay lobola, a bride-price customary in many Southern African cultures. + +Corruption is a corrosive force in South Africa. In Welkom, which has not received a clean financial audit since 2000, tens of millions of dollars in government funds have gone missing. Even in this context, Khombiโ€™s influence was legendary. Charles estimated that seventy per cent of the local police force had been in the kingpinโ€™s pocket; I took this to be an exaggeration, until a senior detective who works on illegal-mining cases corroborated the figure, laughing bitterly. + +But Khombi, like any capable mafia don, was also propping up core services of the city. He repaired dirt roads in Thabong and donated supplies to local schools. In 2015, the national electricity utility threatened to cut off power to Welkom and its surrounding towns unless the municipality began paying off an outstanding bill of around thirty million dollars. Rumors circulated that Khombi had made a cash payment to avert the power cuts. + +Corruption was just as pervasive in the operational mines. Smuggling in *zama-zamas* could cost as much as forty-five hundred dollars per person, according to the illegal-gold-mining expert. The process could require bribing up to seven employees at once, from security guards to cage operators; this meant that mine employees could earn many times their regular salaries through bribery. Some were caught with bread loaves strapped to their bellies and batteries hidden inside their lunchboxes, which they planned to sell to *zama-zamas*. They also served as couriers, ferrying gold and cash. + +Mine workers who couldnโ€™t be paid off were targeted by the syndicates. In 2017, a Welkom mine manager known for his tough stance against *zama-zamas* was murdered. Two months later, a mine security officer was shot thirteen times on his way to work. The following year, an administrator was stabbed ten times at home while his wife and children were in another room, and the wife of a plant manager was kidnapped for a ransom of one bar of gold. + +Today, after a series of acquisitions and mergers, a single company, Harmony, owns the mines around Welkom. Harmony specializes in exploiting marginal deposits at so-called mature mines, which has allowed it to prosper during the twilight years of South Africaโ€™s gold industry. According to a company presentation that I obtained, Harmony has spent roughly a hundred million dollars on security measures between 2012 and 2019, including outfitting its mines with biometric authentication systems. They have also demolished several dozen disused shafts. Company records show that more than sixteen thousand *zama-zamas* have been arrested since 2007; in addition, more than two thousand employees and contractors have been arrested under suspicion of taking bribes or facilitating illegal mining. But these arrests were mostly at the bottom of the illegal-mining hierarchy, and had little lasting impact. + +One day, I met a team of security officers who patrolled some of the mines beneath Welkom; several of them had worked in Afghanistan and Iraq, and told me that the mines were more dangerous. The officers recounted coming across explosives the size of soccer balls, stuffed with bolts and other shrapnel. In shoot-outs, bullets ricocheted off the mine walls. โ€œItโ€™s tunnel warfare,โ€ a member of the team said. + +But in town, especially among poorer residents, there was a sense that this violence was peripheral to a trade that sustained a large number of people. Money from *zama-zamas* spilled over into the general economy, from food wholesalers to car dealerships. โ€œThe economy of Welkom is through *zama-zamas*,โ€ Charles, the former police reservist, told me. โ€œNow Welkom is poor because of one man.โ€ A few years ago, Khombi began ordering brazen hits on his rivals, becoming the focal point of a wider clampdown on illegal mining. โ€œHe took it too far,โ€ Charles said. โ€œHe ruined it for everyone.โ€ + +The first known murder linked to Khombi was that of Eric Vilakazi, another syndicate leader who had been delivering food underground. In 2016, Vilakazi was shot dead in front of his home while holding his young child in his arms. (The child survived.) Afterward, Khombi visited Vilakaziโ€™s family to share his condolences and to offer financial support for the funeral. โ€œIf he killed you, heโ€™ll go see the wife the next day,โ€ the former member of Khombiโ€™s inner circle, who accompanied him on the visit, told me. An aspiring kingpin named Nico Rasethuntsha attempted to take over the area where Vilakazi had been operating, but a few months later he, too, was assassinated. + +In December, 2017, Thapelo Talla, an associate of Khombiโ€™s who had tried to break away, was gunned down outside a party for Khombiโ€™s wedding anniversary. The following month, a syndicate boss known as Majozi disappeared, along with a policeman who had worked with him; Majoziโ€™s wife was found dead at their home, and his burned-out BMW was found near an abandoned hostel. (Informants said afterward that Majozi and the policeman were tossed down a shaft by Khombiโ€™s henchmen.) Later, a gold smuggler named Charles Sithole was murdered after receiving death threats from Khombi, and a pastor in Thabong who had sold a house to Khombi, and was requesting the full payment, was shot and killed. + +The incident that led to Khombiโ€™s undoing took place in 2017, at a cemetery outside Welkom. Like the towns around it, the cemetery was running to ruinโ€”a metal sign over the entrance, along with some headstones, had been stolen. The graves had been racially segregated during apartheid, and headstones of white people remained clustered at one end. Khombi suspected one of his lieutenants of stealing money and gave orders for him to be shot in the cemetery. The body was discovered the next morning, lying beside an abandoned vehicle. + +One of Khombiโ€™s men, who was at the cemetery that night, was also working as an informant for the police, and Khombi was eventually charged with murder. (The first investigating officer assigned to the case was found guilty of lying under oath to protect him.) Khombi was held at a local jail, where wardens delivered KFC to his cell. โ€œThey were treating him like a king,โ€ the expert on the illegal gold trade told me. A man who was charged alongside Khombi was thought to have been poisonedโ€”an effort, officials believe, to prevent him from testifyingโ€”and had to be brought to court in a wheelchair. + +The trial began in late 2019. Khombi, who had been released on bail, showed up in designer suits every day. He presented himself as a businessman with philanthropic interests, alleging that he was a victim of a conspiracy. The judge was unpersuaded. โ€œThe entire murder has the hallmark of a hit,โ€ he declared, sentencing Khombi to life in prison. Khombiโ€™s legal team is petitioning the courts to overturn this decision, but he also faces other charges: for the 2017 murder of Talla, and for identity fraud. (Police discovered two South African I.D.s in his home, with different names, both featuring his photograph.) + +I returned to Welkom to attend the trials for both cases. Last September, driving from Johannesburg along the arc of the Witwatersrand basin, I passed through a series of blighted mining towns, now home to armies of *zama-zamas*. It was the windy season, and clouds of dust blew from the mine dumps. The waste from South African gold mines is rich in uranium, and in the nineteen-forties the U.S. and British governments initiated a top-secret program to reprocess the material for the development of nuclear weapons. But a large number of dumps remain, with dangerously high levels of radioactivity. In Welkom, the dust blows into houses and schools. Some residential areas have radioactivity readings comparable to those of Chernobyl. + +The magistrateโ€™s court is in the city centerโ€”a modernist building with arresting red metal finishes where thousands of *zama-zamas* have been prosecuted. In the halls, there are posters that read โ€œ*STOP ILLEGAL MINING,*โ€ with images of gold in its different forms, from ore concentrate to refined bars. Outside the courtroom, on the first day of Khombiโ€™s trial for identity fraud, a garrulous man wearing a kufi hat with a red feather introduced himself to me as Khombiโ€™s half brother, although I later found out that he was a more distant relative. Without my asking, he said of Khombi, โ€œHe worked with gold, I wonโ€™t deny it. But he wasnโ€™t a killer.โ€ The problem, he told me, was the gangs from Lesotho: โ€œHe had to work with them.โ€ Khombi had become rich from the gold trade, and also arrogant, he added. โ€œBut the cops were in his circle. Whoโ€™s the real mafia here?โ€ + +Inside, Khombi was in shackles, laughing with the wardens. He wore a black sweatshirt pulled tight over his muscles, and his voice boomed across the courtroom. He had already begun serving his murder sentence, and in prison he was organizing prayer meetings for the inmates. (Khombi is a member of an Apostolic church.) Before the trial could begin, his defense lawyer secured a postponement, and Khombi was escorted back to the cells. + +[](https://www.newyorker.com/cartoon/a26209) + +โ€œLetโ€™s say Iโ€™ve been practicing therapy without a license. How much time would I be looking at?โ€ + +Cartoon by Chelsea Carr + +I was able to speak to Khombi two months later, at the trial for Tallaโ€™s murder. Our conversations took place as he was led in and out of the courtroom, with his wardens repeatedly shooing me away. When I introduced myself, Khombi greeted me like a politician and gave me a warm handshake, as if he had been expecting me. He denied being a gold dealer, but said that he knew many people involved in the trade. โ€œFrom what I have observed,โ€ he said, โ€œit involves a lot of peopleโ€”police, judges, magistrates, security. Itโ€™s too dangerous to talk about.โ€ He also told me, smiling, that he had paid close to a million dollars for the municipal electricity bill, and made separate payments for water. โ€œIโ€™m not what all these people say about me,โ€ he said. โ€œI donโ€™t sit and plot to kill people.โ€ + +One day in Welkom, I got lunch with Khombiโ€™s legal adviser, a smooth-talking former attorney named Fusi Macheka, who was disbarred in 2011. Macheka is a lay pastor, and he blessed our food when it arrived. He told me that he had known Khombi since around 2007, claiming to have successfully defended him in an illegal-gold-dealing case at the time. โ€œUltimately he became my man,โ€ Macheka said. โ€œHe calls me brother.โ€ + +While we were talking, a man with heavily scarred forearms arrived and sat down without greeting me. Macheka introduced him as Khombiโ€™s lieutenant. โ€œHeโ€™s a shock absorber for him,โ€ Macheka explained. The lieutenant, who gave his name as Sekonyela, was wearing a yellow golf shirt that identified him as the chairman of the Stingy Men Association of Free State, which he was reluctant to elaborate on. He had known Khombi for close to three decades, working his way up from being Khombiโ€™s gardener to being his right-hand man. Through the years, he said, Khombi had paid for his wedding, including lobola and a honeymoon to Cape Town, and had given him multiple cars and motorbikes. + +A few days later, Sekonyela arrived on one of those bikes, a Yamaha with a top speed of around a hundred and thirty miles per hour, to accompany Macheka and me on a tour of Khombiโ€™s properties. We began at Khombiโ€™s newest home, purchased from the pastor who was murdered. It featured the only residential swimming pool in Thabong, Sekonyela said. A former chief interpreter of the Welkom magistrateโ€™s court happened to be passing by, and he informed me, misleadingly, that Khombi was โ€œnever ever in court for one murder.โ€ He added that Khombi had donated soccer balls and kits for two youth teams he managed. โ€œHe was for the people,โ€ the interpreter said. + +Many people in the township shared stories of Khombiโ€™s generosity and lamented his absence. โ€œHe wanted peopleโ€™s stomachs to be full,โ€ one community leader said. I heard about Khombi paying for children to go to school and providing cattle to slaughter at funerals. Multiple officials I spoke with believe that Khombi remains active in the illicit gold trade, organizing deals from inside prison, but I got the sense that his power had waned. Weeds flourished outside his properties, and his night clubs were often closed. Khombiโ€™s incarceration had left room for other syndicates to grow, but nobody had inherited his mantle as Thabongโ€™s benefactor. Macheka wanted me to appreciate his clientโ€™s importance in the community, but he was evasive when I asked if Khombi had been involved in gold smuggling. โ€œI canโ€™t say that with certainty,โ€ Macheka replied. โ€œAccording to my instructions, he was a hard worker.โ€ Macheka also mentioned that Khombi had given him two cars. โ€œHe knew about this secret of giving,โ€ Macheka had said, a few days earlier. โ€œIn terms of my Biblical understanding, you give one cent, you get a hundredfold. Maybe that was his secret.โ€ + +Khombiโ€™s murder conviction coincided with a joint operation, by various police agencies and a private-security firm contracted by Harmony, to bring illegal mining in the Free State under control. The project is called Knock Out, and its logo is a clenched fist. To circumvent the corruption in Welkom, fifty police officers were brought in from the city of Bloemfontein, a hundred miles away. The operation has recorded more than five thousand arrests; among those taken into custody were seventy-seven mine employees, forty-eight security officers, and four members of the military. Investigators opened cases against more than a dozen police officers. Some cops, in the face of increased scrutiny, preรซmptively quit the force. + +Central to the operation was cutting off food supplies for *zama-zamas* underground. Investigators raided locations where food was being packed. In parallel, some of the operational mines instituted food bans for employees, and Harmony closed off more entrances to the tunnels. At first, contractors capped old shafts with slabs of concrete, but *zama-zamas* dug underneath and broke these open, so the contractors began filling the shafts with rubble, sealing them completely. The company spent two years on one shaft, pumping in seemingly endless volumes of concrete; investigators later discovered that, inside the tunnels, *zama-zamas* had been removing the slurry before it could set. On another occasion, a syndicate sent three excavators to reopen a shaft. Security officers who intervened were shot at and almost run over by one of the machines. (The driver was later convicted of attempted murder.) To regain control of the site, officials sent in helicopters and erected a perimeter of sandbagsโ€”โ€œlike an army camp,โ€ one member of the operation told me. + +Sealing vertical shafts restricts access from the surface, but it does not close the entire tunnel network, and thousands of *zama-zamas* remained below Welkom, their food supplies dwindling. Many still owed money to the syndicates that had put them underground. They didnโ€™t want to exit. How else were they going to pay? Jonathan, the former *zama-zama*, estimated that hundreds had died of starvation, including several of his friends. โ€œThe saddest part of it, the most painful, is that you canโ€™t bury them,โ€ he said. + +Burials are of supreme importance in many Southern African cultures. In the past, when *zama-zamas* died underground, their bodies would typically be carried, shrouded in plastic, to the nearest functioning shaft and left for mine employees to discover. Affixed to the corpses were labels with a contact number and a name. The bodies were repatriated to neighboring countries or buried in the Free State. But now so many men were dying that it was impossible to collect them all. Simon, the *zama-zama* from Zimbabwe, told me that during 2017 and 2018 more than a hundred men died on just two levels of the mine he was living in. Using blankets as stretchers, he and some other *zama-zamas* had carried out at least eight bodies, one at a time; each journey had lasted around twelve hours. โ€œThe first time I see a dead body, Iโ€™m scared,โ€ he recalled. As conditions worsened undergroundโ€”at one point, Simon went fourteen days without foodโ€”he stopped caring, and would sit on the bodies to rest. + +Operation Knock Out forced *zama-zamas* to go elsewhere in search of gold. Many left for Orkney, a mining town eighty miles north. One weekend in 2021, according to the South African Police Service, more than five hundred *zama-zamas* exited the tunnels in Orkney after their food and water supplies were cut off; days later, hundreds of men attempted to force their way back inside, culminating in a shoot-out with officials that left six dead. When I visited, a security officer took me to an abandoned shaft nearby that had been capped with concrete but blown open by *zama-zamas*. Ropes were strung over the mouth of the hole, which was more than a mile deep. The shaft was no longer ventilated, and gusts of hot vapor blew up from the tunnels. Marashean snipers were observing us from a mine dump; that night, more *zama-zamas* would lower themselves over the shaftโ€™s edge. + +In Welkom, the drop in illegal mining dealt yet another blow to an already ravaged economy. โ€œMost of our illegal miners are our businesspeople,โ€ Rose Nkhasi, the president of the Free State Goldfields Chamber of Business at the time, told me. I met her in a boardroom with framed portraits of her predecessors, almost all of whom were white men. Nkhasi, who is Black, acknowledged the violence and corruption associated with gold smuggling, but she was frank about its role in sustaining Welkom. She singled out Khombiโ€”โ€œHeโ€™s huge in the township, like the biggest mafiaโ€โ€”for his economic impact. โ€œHe employs a lot of people,โ€ she said. โ€œYou can feel his money.โ€ + +Nkhasi owns a property with a car wash, a mechanical workshop, and a restaurant. In earlier years, she told me, *zama-zamas* would bring their cars in for repairs and order food, paying with two-hundred-rand billsโ€”the largest denomination in South Africaโ€”and declining change. Police vehicles cruised by to collect payments from Khombiโ€™s henchmen. Nkhasi also has an independent town-planning practice, where syndicate leaders often brought her rezoning applications to build rental units. โ€œThey are the ones developing this town,โ€ Nkhasi told me. + +Investigators believe that there are still around two hundred illegal miners underground, roaming the passages beneath Welkom; they are adamant that, eventually, many more will return. The problems are deeply embedded. South Africa, once the worldโ€™s largest gold producer by far, now ranks a distant tenth. The country is still home to some of the richest gold deposits in the world, and there are many companies that would be interested in digging for them. But there is an increasingly strained relationship between the state and the mining sector, with ever-shifting policiesโ€”including a requirement that a large number of shares go to historically disadvantaged South Africansโ€”and the spectre of corruption acting as deterrents to investment. Margins on gold mines are thin, and increasing security costs, combined with gold losses to *zama-zamas*, can โ€œeliminate most of the profits,โ€ the former mining chairman told me. โ€œNobody wants to go into the casino.โ€ The gold-mining industry has come to symbolize the dispossession and exploitation that have shaped South Africa, today the country with the highest income inequality in the world. + +One evening, before sunset, I drove out to an old shaft on the southern edge of Welkom. Sunk in the early nineteen-fifties, it once led to one of South Africaโ€™s richest mines, producing thousands of tons of ore per day. The shaft was filled a few years ago, and all that remains is a low mound in the middle of a grassy field. Nearby, at a venue called Diggers Inn, where Khombi held his wedding, an end-of-year celebration was kicking off for the graduates of Welkom High School. A crowd had gathered to cheer for the teen-agers, many of whom had hired chauffeured cars. Not two thousand feet away, at the opposite end of the shaft, some men were at work with picks and shovels, scraping gold from the earth.ย โ™ฆ + +  +  + +--- +`$= dv.el('center', 'Source: ' + dv.current().Link + ', ' + dv.current().Date.toLocaleString("fr-FR"))` \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/00.03 News/The Fleishman Effect.md b/00.03 News/The Fleishman Effect.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..ea6cda35 --- /dev/null +++ b/00.03 News/The Fleishman Effect.md @@ -0,0 +1,89 @@ +--- + +Tag: ["๐ŸŽญ", "๐ŸŽฅ", "๐Ÿ“บ", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ", "๐Ÿคต๐Ÿป", "๐Ÿ—ฝ"] +Date: 2023-02-07 +DocType: "WebClipping" +Hierarchy: +TimeStamp: 2023-02-07 +Link: https://www.thecut.com/2023/02/the-fleishman-is-in-trouble-effect.html?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=One%20Great%20Story%20-%20February%206%2C%202023&utm_term=Subscription%20List%20-%20One%20Great%20Story +location: +CollapseMetaTable: true + +--- + +Parent:: [[@News|News]] +Read:: [[2023-02-08]] + +--- + +  + +```button +name Save +type command +action Save current file +id Save +``` +^button-TheFleishmanEffectNSave + +  + +# The Fleishman Effect + +In a city of Rachels and Libbys, the FX show has some New York moms worried theyโ€™re the ones in trouble. + +![](https://pyxis.nymag.com/v1/imgs/eb4/927/788767d7c5eb2f9874597fe6690ea505cd-scream-trouble.rsquare.w700.jpg) + +Photo-Illustration: by the Cut + +Thereโ€™s a game a friend of mine likes to play in her affluent Brooklyn neighborhood: When sheโ€™s walking down Henry Street, she looks up at the multimillion-dollar brownstones and imagines the lives of the people inside. In her version, most of them went to Harvard and made life choices better than hers, which have rewarded them with original pocket doors and Gaggenau appliances. But then she remembers: *They still have to lug a stroller up the front stairs every time they come home. They still have to bring their laundry to the basement where there are probably mice.* โ€œItโ€™s so crazy [how rich you have to be](https://www.thecut.com/2022/04/repladies-fake-luxury-bags.html) in New York to live comfortably, just *comfortably*,โ€ she tells me, slightly out of breath, while she runs to a meeting. โ€œThereโ€™s this very subtle heartbreak that perhaps people made better life choices than you and their houses are bigger and they are happier.โ€ + +The crazy thing is that this friend, at 45, has not only an apartment in the city but a [weekend house](https://www.thecut.com/2020/04/what-coronavirus-reveals-about-wealth-among-friends.html) outside itโ€”one that she bought with earnings from her successful career and enjoys with her partner and kids. She is happy, yet she is undeniably worn out from trying to stay that way in a city where exorbitant wealthโ€”two-nannies-and-a-chauffeur wealth, spring-break-in-St.-Barts wealthโ€”is everywhere. โ€œIf you find yourself in your 40s still living in New York, still hustling, still striving, thereโ€™s a part of you that is completely beat down and a little bit unwell,โ€ she says. Thereโ€™s no appropriate audience for this privileged angst beyond a therapistโ€™s office, which is why sheโ€™s never talked about it before. + +Then came [*Fleishman Is in Trouble*](https://www.thecut.com/2022/12/fleishman-is-in-trouble-taffy-brodesser-akner-lizzy-caplan-interview.html), the TV series and book by Taffy Brodesser-Akner, which now, more than a month after its on-air finale, is still the subject of rumination for a certain set of New York womenโ€”the ones who didnโ€™t need a narrator to explain that the 92nd Street Y is as much community center as status symbol (just try getting into its [$40,700-a-year](https://www.92ny.org/nursery-school/tuition-application) pre-K). Many of them read the book years ago and watched the show because it was there and why notโ€”only to find themselves turned as upside down as the opening sequence, a dizzying view of the city flipped on its head. For them, watching Claire Danes (who plays Rachel, a high-earning talent agent desperate to be accepted by Manhattanโ€™s private-school set) mentally break under the pressures of her career, marriage, motherhood, and childhood trauma and Lizzy Caplan (who plays Libby, a magazine writer who hasnโ€™t written in two years and moved to [suburban New Jersey](https://www.thecut.com/2023/01/fleishman-is-in-trouble-suburban-identity-crisis.html) with her family) long for the possibilities of her youth and search for the pieces of herself she can still recognize, has set off an internal alarm that sounds a lot like the voice-over in the show: *Is all this really worth it? Am I spending these years, maybe the best years, focused on the right things? When does it get easier?* Or as Libby put it, โ€œ*How did I get here?โ€*ย  + +My friend, whom Iโ€™m not naming because nobody wants her midlife crisis publicized in a magazine (in fact, all names here have been changed), is one of more than a dozen women Iโ€™ve spoken with recently who have found themselves talking about the themes of *Fleishman*โ€”which on its surface is about divorce but is really about aging, ambition, class, and identityโ€”in group chats and out for drinks and at playground playdates. Long after people have shut up about the second season of *The White Lotus*, *Fleishman* persists among this specific group of women who are both well off and strung out. Late last month, the New York *Times* columnist Ross Douthat wrote that Rachel, in comparison with her ex-husband, Toby, โ€œis much more in tune with the deeper and darker ethos of meritocracy: the abiding insecurity that comes with being trained for constant competition and then raised to a position where youโ€™re incredibly privileged and yet your social milieu makes you feel like youโ€™re running and running just to stay in place.โ€ + +โ€œThe Rachel character gave us permission to feel bad for ourselves for a minute,โ€ says my friend, after laying out for the second time that she expects no sympathy. (Most other women I spoke with said the same.) โ€œI think that women like me are thoughtful and mindful enough to know life is not so bad, we donโ€™t ever want to complain, but Rachel just let us feel sad that we feel like we are going to lose it a lot of the time.โ€ + +There are certain scenes from the show that come up more than others: When Rachel screams at a yoga retreat, releasing years of pent-up rage and exhaustion and frustration. When Libby finds Rachel on a bench, in the throes of her mental breakdown, and realizes that the person she had villainized was really just another mom buckling under the enormous pressures placed on women. (Multiple women paraphrase this line in our conversations: โ€œRachel knew the truth, which was that the culture was so condescending to stay-at-home mothers that we allowed them the fiction that being a mother was the hardest job in the world. Well, it wasnโ€™t. Having an actual job and being a mother is the hardest job in the world.โ€) When Rachel marches off to work after a traumatic childbirth because itโ€™s the only way she knows how to reclaim herself. When Libby attends a suburban barbecue and looks around in horror, unwilling to accept that this is her life now. (โ€œItโ€™s like weโ€™ve died and these houses are our headstones,โ€ she tells her husband, who is perfectly happy there.) When Libby is passed over for the ambitious assignments at the menโ€™s magazine where she worked, which went to her male colleagues over and over and over again. When she realizes pointedly, โ€œYou are right now as young as you will ever be again.โ€ + +Watching *Fleishman* was like holding up a mirror to the life they bought into years ago, when they came here to pursue their big dreams, and finally seeing the reality of what that looks like now. Laura, a 46-year-old mom of two in Manhattan who sends her kids to one of the cityโ€™s most prestigious private schools, says the show made her think about the choices sheโ€™s made not just for herself but for her kids. At their school, โ€œunless youโ€™re a parent whoโ€™s a banker with a capital *B* or a lawyer with a capital *L,* itโ€™s like you donโ€™t exist,โ€ she says. The go-to bat mitzvah gift of the moment is a Cartier bracelet, for which moms are expected to pitch in for a group present. โ€œWhen I heard, I almost dropped dead,โ€ she says, admitting that now in the middle of a divorce, the extra expenses are out of her budget. โ€œThereโ€™s pressure to give, though, and itโ€™s huge, and then thereโ€™s this whole thought process of *We signed them up for this, so we have to go along with it. They didnโ€™t choose this life,* we *chose it.* I was naรฏve when I put them on this treadmill, and now we canโ€™t get off of it. Part of me is now like, *Am I doing a disservice keeping my kids here?โ€* + +Kayla, 41, recognized the particular way in which those in Rachelโ€™s orbit talk about moneyโ€”which is not to talk about what things costโ€“of course not, how tackyโ€“but *things*. People Kayla knows will have, she says,ย  โ€œthese long protracted conversations about architects, or remodels, or luxury vacations. They want to show that they have fuck-you money.โ€ She keeps thinking about a scene in *Fleishman* when Toby, a 41-year-old hepatologist making almost $300,000 a year who finds himself justifying his job to a group of middle-aged hedge-fund bros, asks, โ€œWhen is it ever good enough?โ€ โ€œWhen he said that, I was like, *Yes, I completely relate to that,*โ€ she tells me. โ€œItโ€™s a total syndrome of this *Fleishman* class of people in the city. When literally is it good enough, and what is the end game? I genuinely donโ€™t know the answer. Is it a NetJets membership? Multiple homes outside the city? All your kids in the best schools known to man? And youโ€™re, like, a huge career success and a doyenne to society?โ€ + +Since the show, sheโ€™s found herself making dinner plans with friends from other parts of her life and is reexamining her own relationship to work. Watching Rachel invest so much of herself in her career, seemingly at any cost, โ€œI did find that to be legitimately ugly, even if Iโ€™ve been guilty of it,โ€ she says. โ€œIn a certain sense, all of us who are in that high-pressure city environment, and it is absolutely an environment of nothing is ever good enough, work becomes so important. Iโ€™ve felt so defined by achievement and feeling like *What is the next rung on this ladder?* Watching that dramatized, youโ€™re like, *This is disgusting. You have more than enough.*โ€ + +In *Fleishman,* Toby resents it when he finds himself signing his kids up for summer camp in Rachelโ€™s absenseโ€”or, as Libby narrates it, โ€œdoing exactly what Rachel would have done,โ€ i.e., โ€œthrowing money at the problem.โ€ โ€œMoney is the fix for anything here,โ€ says Paige, 40, who cringes as she tells me about the consultant she and her husband hired to help their 5-year-old get into a private kindergarten next year. โ€œIโ€™m like, *Are we crazy? Am I doing this?* We are two decent human beings, we are on boards, we are community leaders, and we are hiring someone to draft and edit our thank-you letters and to tell us to hold the door open on school tours? Itโ€™s just like, *In what world is this normal?* IN WHAT WORLD?โ€ Theyโ€™ve also hired a tutor and enrolled their child in Russian mathโ€”a trend now among preschool parents whoโ€™ve heard that the old Soviet method might give their children a leg up. + +She brings up the scene in which Libby revisits the haunts of her youth in the West Village. It resonated with her, she says, because she sometimes misses the version of who she was when she first moved to the city and didnโ€™t care so much about what other people were doing. โ€œWhen Libby is walking past her old building and smoking, it was like she was looking back at a fictional character that used to exist and I get that. I have my own fictional version of myself, where I was just fun and fabulous and doing things, and you know, *in it*โ€”not anchored down by my children and husband and work.โ€ Sometimes she thinks about leaving New York, that maybe that would be better for her family and her sanity. But thatโ€™s a sad thought, too. Itโ€™s the place sheโ€™s always wanted to be. + +If anyoneโ€™s feeling the *Fleishman* effect more than the women in Manhattan and Brooklyn anxiously holding on to whatever rung of the success ladder theyโ€™ve managed to grasp, it is perhaps those who left the city during the pandemic and are still figuring out who they are if theyโ€™re not New Yorkers. Watching Libby languish in suburbia was, for some, more difficult than witnessing Rachelโ€™s nervous breakdown. (One woman I spoke with admits that even in Rachelโ€™s worst moments, she envied her: โ€œA piece of me was like, *Well, sheโ€™s kicking ass, and I want to be kicking ass,*โ€ she told me.) Maryann, 39, moved out of the city a few years ago and says she connected with Libby more than she wished she did. She keeps thinking about Libby, who in the show reminisces about being young and having so many choicesโ€“and then you wake up one day and your life feels mapped out for you. โ€œShe said that, and I felt like Iโ€™d been punched in the stomach,โ€ says Maryann. + +โ€œI really related to this idea that this one dream that youโ€™ve had for so long, that job and that dream doesnโ€™t really exist for you anymore. And what do you do when the thing you thought you always wanted isnโ€™t a possibility anymore?โ€ she continues. She recently found herself thinking about that question in Target, which was even more depressing. โ€œYou know how Karl Lagerfeld was like, โ€˜Youโ€™re in sweatpants, you failedโ€™? Thatโ€™s kind of how I feel about Target. To me, itโ€™s this ever-present reminder that I am in the suburbs, I am not going to leave, I am not moving back to Brooklyn, and my life there is over.โ€ + +Beth, also 39 and in the suburbs, finds herself constantly asking her husband, โ€œHow do we get back to the city?โ€ The math feels impossible. Even with a combined household income of $500,000, the New York life she wants for her family feels out of reach. โ€œMy dream life would be to live in Brooklyn and send my daughter to Saint Annโ€™s, but the reality of my life is I live in the suburbs and havenโ€™t taken a day off in two years. I get up at 6 a.m., and I work until she wakes up, then I do breakfast and get her ready, then the nanny comes, I work all day, I relieve the nanny, and then get back on my computer and work until midnight after my daughter goes to sleep. I do that every day,โ€ she says. โ€œAnd itโ€™s still not enough.โ€ She understood Rachelโ€™s relentless pursuit of earning moreโ€”โ€œ*Make more money, be more successful.* I see myself in that, 100 percent,โ€ she saysโ€”but also Libbyโ€™s turmoil about not finding herself where she thought sheโ€™d be by now. When Libby is asked what sheโ€™s writing about these days, Toby answers for her. โ€œSheโ€™s not at the magazine anymore,โ€ he says. โ€œYeah,โ€ replies Libby. โ€œIโ€™m not anywhere anymore.โ€ + +Since leaving New York, Beth has found herself in tears at least once a week. She makes $300,000 a yearโ€”more than sheโ€™s ever earned in her lifeโ€”but sheโ€™s running out of minutes in the day to squeeze out more dollars. โ€œHow do I make the $700,000 that Iโ€™m going to need to send her to private school or do the renovation in the attic so I can turn it into the master suite so I can have a tub and so I can have one thing I enjoy in my life?โ€ she says. Her takeaway from the show: โ€œBoth avenues are shit. You can stay in New York and climb, climb, climb and never get where you need to go and give yourself a nervous breakdown, or you can move to the suburbs and be like, *Who the fuck are these pod people?* Neither seems great. Is the secret to it all that we have to just choose a lane and embrace it?โ€ + +Sheโ€™d been avoiding joining the local mom text chains, or what she describes as โ€œmy worst nightmare.โ€ But *Fleishman* was a wakeup call. โ€œI am now like, *Oh fuck, I better embrace this.* I probably need to stop telling people Iโ€™m moving back to New York, and not give up on that dream necessarily but also not shit on the suburbs. I probably donโ€™t need to be the asshole Libby is โ€ฆ I probably need to look at these people and be like, *Youโ€™re human. I should definitely not judge you and look up your house value and look up what your husband does in comparison to what most of you used to do.*โ€ She sighs. โ€œI should probably join the text chain.โ€ + +Watching *Fleishman* myself, I couldnโ€™t help but think how the show aired at a moment of peak exhaustion for womenโ€”even privileged women, who have it so much better than most. The story takes place in 2016, but it finds us roughly seven years later, battered from parenting and working in a pandemic. Rachel and Libby are the manifestation of different struggles women face and impossible expectations, but a core similarity is that they are fucking tired. + +So it shouldnโ€™t be surprising that a narrative about women who feel stuck is sticking. It has also served as motivation for some to get unstuck. Ami, 38, tells me she watched the show with her ex-boyfriend, and it solidified for her that ending things was the right choice (โ€œIt was such a raw look at marriage and what it can be and is,โ€ she says. โ€œI want to find a partner that I see as a complete equal, as unrealistic as that might be.โ€) Sophia, in her 50s and divorced, watched *Fleishman* and signed up for stand-up-comedy classes. โ€œI felt like in my married life, I ignored myself for a lot of time โ€ฆ I totally understood Libby in that way, and it hit me. When we reach a certain age or lifestyle, we might feel like, *Oh, this is it*. Or maybe itโ€™s just safety and security. But then you wonder about your potential and *What if I never tried?*โ€ + +The show ends without tidy answers, just a reminder that time is ticking. *You are right now as young as you will ever be again.* And then, like electric shocks to the heart, *And now โ€ฆ and now โ€ฆ and now*. + +โ€œI felt like I was choking every time Libby said, โ€˜And now,โ€™โ€ I tell my friend, the one who likes to create brownstone fictions. We both laugh, then stop laughing, because it is funny but also true. Weโ€™ve both bought into life in the city; we are both raising our families here; we are both working here, still, somehow, all these years after we first arrived. Like so many other New York women, we saw ourselves in Libby and in Rachel and were startled by the view. + +โ€œDid *Fleishman* make you want to change anything about your life?โ€ I finally ask her. + +โ€œYeah,โ€ she says. โ€œIt got me thinking itโ€™s time for me to get therapy.โ€ + +The *Fleishman* Effect + +  +  + +--- +`$= dv.el('center', 'Source: ' + dv.current().Link + ', ' + dv.current().Date.toLocaleString("fr-FR"))` \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/00.03 News/The Follower.md b/00.03 News/The Follower.md index 535ad512..c9cf2524 100644 --- a/00.03 News/The Follower.md +++ b/00.03 News/The Follower.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- -Tag: ["Society", "๐Ÿ›", "๐Ÿ—ฝ", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿคต๐Ÿป", "๐Ÿ›", "๐Ÿ—ฝ", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ"] Date: 2022-06-14 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/The Forgotten Story of the American Troops Who Got Caught Up in the Russian Civil War.md b/00.03 News/The Forgotten Story of the American Troops Who Got Caught Up in the Russian Civil War.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..daea7fc5 --- /dev/null +++ b/00.03 News/The Forgotten Story of the American Troops Who Got Caught Up in the Russian Civil War.md @@ -0,0 +1,122 @@ +--- + +Tag: ["๐Ÿ“œ", "๐Ÿช–", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ", "๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ"] +Date: 2023-01-07 +DocType: "WebClipping" +Hierarchy: +TimeStamp: 2023-01-07 +Link: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/forgotten-doughboys-who-died-fighting-russian-civil-war-180971470/ +location: +CollapseMetaTable: true + +--- + +Parent:: [[@News|News]] +Read:: [[2023-01-09]] + +--- + +  + +```button +name Save +type command +action Save current file +id Save +``` +^button-TheForgottenStoryoftheAmericanTroopsNSave + +  + +# The Forgotten Story of the American Troops Who Got Caught Up in the Russian Civil War + +![American infantry camp in Siberia](https://th-thumbnailer.cdn-si-edu.com/zkLfbD1ltc0rUJM6X-LV0IoKKbw=/1000x750/filters:no_upscale()/https://tf-cmsv2-smithsonianmag-media.s3.amazonaws.com/filer/bd/43/bd43202e-cffe-48b1-b83b-18d2b5d57adb/gettyimages-464428811_web.jpg) + +An American infantry camp in Siberia, Russia, December 1918 Heritage Images / Contributor + +It was 45 degrees below zero, and Lieutenant Harry Meadโ€™s platoon was much too far from home. Just outside the Russian village of Ust Padenga, 500 miles north of Moscow, the American soldiers crouched inside two blockhouses and trenches cut into permafrost. It was before dawn on January 19, 1919. + +Through their field glasses, lookouts gazed south into the darkness. Beyond the platoonโ€™s position, flares and rockets flashed, and shadowy figures moved through tiny villagesโ€”Bolshevik soldiers from Russiaโ€™s Red Army, hoping to push the American invaders 200 miles north, all the way back to the frozen White Sea. + +The first artillery shell flew at the Americans at dawn. Mead, 29, of Detroit, awoke, dressed, and ran to his 47-man platoonโ€™s forward position. Shells fell for an hour, then stopped. Soldiers from the Bolshevik Red Army, clad in winter-white uniforms, rose up from the snow and ravines on three sides. They advanced, firing automatic rifles and muskets at the outnumbered Americans. + +โ€œI at once realized that our position was hopeless,โ€ Mead recalled, as quoted in James Carl Nelsonโ€™s forthcoming book, [The Polar Bear Expedition: The Heroes of Americaโ€™s Forgotten Invasion of Russia](https://amzn.to/2DZq49E). โ€œWe were sweeping the enemy line with machine gun and rifle fire. As soon as one wave of the enemy was halted on one flank another was pressing in on us from the other side.โ€ + +[![Preview thumbnail for 'The Polar Bear Expedition: The Heroes of America's Forgotten Invasion of Russia, 1918-1919](https://th-thumbnailer.cdn-si-edu.com/o9aZb3y9dFS_0NL9_T13ilgBQKg=/fit-in/300x0/https://tf-cmsv2-smithsonianmag-media.s3.amazonaws.com/amazon/amazon_image_9db25fd5126ebab9114ffc7d5b981edc7b4ea364.jpg "The Polar Bear Expedition: The Heroes of America's Forgotten Invasion of Russia, 1918-1919")](https://www.amazon.com/dp/0062852779?tag=smithsonianco-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1) + +As the Red Army neared, with bayonets fixed on their guns, Mead and his soldiers retreated. They ran through the village, from house to house, โ€œeach new dash leaving more of our comrades lying in the cold and snow, never to be seen again,โ€ Mead said. At last, Mead made it to the next village, filled with American soldiers. Of Meadโ€™s 47-man platoon, 25 died that day, and another 15 were injured. + +For the 13,000 American troops serving in remote parts of Russia 100 years ago, the attack on Meadโ€™s men was the worst day in one of the United Statesโ€™ least-remembered military conflicts. When 1919 dawned, the U.S. forces had been in Russia for months. World War I was not yet over for the 5,000 members of the 339th U.S. Army regiment of the American Expeditionary Force deployed near the port city of Archangel, just below the Arctic Circle, nor for the 8,000 troops from the 27th and 31st regiments, who were stationed in the Pacific Ocean port of Vladivostok, 4,000 miles to the east. + +They had become bit players caught up in the complex international intrigue of the Russian Civil War. Russia had begun World War I as an ally of England and France. But the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, led by Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky, installed a communist government in Moscow and St. Petersburg that pulled Russia out of the conflict and into peace with Germany. By fall 1918, Leninโ€™s year-old government controlled only a part of central European Russia. Forces calling themselves the White Russians, a loose coalition of liberals, social democrats and loyalists to the assassinated czar, were fighting the Communists from the north, south, east and west. + +Two months after the November 11, 1918, armistice that officially ended the war for the rest of Europe, as one million Americans in France were preparing to sail home, the U.S. troops in Russia found that their ill-defined missions had transformed into something even more obscure. Historians still debate why President Woodrow Wilson really sent troops to Russia, but they tend to agree that the two missions, burdened by Wilsonโ€™s ambiguous goals, ended in failures that foreshadowed U.S. foreign interventions in the century to come. + +When Wilson sent the troops to Russia in July 1918, World War I still looked dire for the Allies. With the Russian Empire no longer engaged in the continental struggle, Germany had moved dozens of divisions to France to try to strike a final blow and end the war, and the spring 1918 German offensive had advanced to within artillery range of Paris. + +Desperate to reopen an Eastern Front, Britain and France pressured Wilson to send troops to join Allied expeditions in northern Russia and far eastern Russia, and in July 1918, Wilson agreed to send 13,000 troops. The Allied Powers hoped that the White Russians might rejoin the war if they defeated the Reds. + +To justify the small intervention, Wilson issued a [carefully worded, diplomatically vague memo](http://pbma.grobbel.org/aide_memoire.htm). First, the U.S. troops would guard giant Allied arms caches sent to Archangel and Vladivostok before Russia had left the war. Second, they would support the 70,000-man [Czechoslovak Legion](https://www.radio.cz/en/section/czechs/the-czechoslovak-legions-myth-reality-gold-and-glory), former prisoners of war who had joined the Allied cause and were fighting the Bolsheviks in Siberia. Third, though the memo said the U.S. would avoid โ€œintervention in \[Russiaโ€™s\] internal affairs,โ€ it also said the U.S. troops would aid Russians with their own โ€œself-government or self-defense.โ€ That was diplomacy-speak for aiding the White Russians in the civil war. + +โ€œThis was a movement basically against the Bolshevik forces,โ€ says Doran Cart, senior curator at the [National World War I Museum and Memorial](https://www.theworldwar.org/) in Kansas City. โ€œ\[But\] we couldnโ€™t really go in and say, โ€˜This is for fighting the Bolsheviks.โ€™ That would seem like we were against our previous ally in the war.โ€ + +![Allied soldiers and sailors in Vladivostok, Russia, September 1918](https://th-thumbnailer.cdn-si-edu.com/-J7hjUDKAPBAdCtZ1WR2jQTlfpo=/fit-in/1072x0/https://tf-cmsv2-smithsonianmag-media.s3.amazonaws.com/filer/7b/92/7b925074-dd1d-4a0c-9874-402965399349/gettyimages-464424971_web.jpg) + +Allied soldiers and sailors in Vladivostok, Russia, September 1918 Heritage Images / Contributor + +Wilsonโ€™s stated aims were so ambiguous that the two U.S. expeditions to Russia ended up carrying out very different missions. While the troops in north Russia became embroiled in the Russian Civil War, the soldiers in Siberia engaged in an ever-shifting series of standoffs and skirmishes, including many with their supposed allies. + +The U.S. soldiers in northern Russia, the U.S. Armyโ€™s 339th regiment, were chosen for the deployment because they were mostly from Michigan, so military commanders figured they could handle the war zoneโ€™s extreme cold. Their training in England included a lesson from Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton on surviving below-zero conditions. Landing in Archangel, just below the Arctic Circle, in September 1918, they nicknamed themselves the Polar Bear Expedition. + +Under British command, many of the Polar Bears didnโ€™t stay in Archangel to guard the Allied arms cache at all. The British goal was to reach the Russian city of Kotlas, a railroad crossing where, they hoped, they might use the railway to connect with the Czechoslovak Legion in the east. So British officer Lieutenant General Frederick Poole deployed the Polar Bears in long arcs up to 200 miles south of Archangel, along a strategic railroad and the Dvina and Vaga rivers. + +But they never got to Kotlas. Instead, the Allied troopsโ€™ overextended deployment led to frequent face-to-face combat with the Bolshevik army, led by Leon Trotsky and growing in strength. One company of Americans, along with Canadian and Scottish troops, fought a bloody battle with Bolshevik forces on November 11, 1918 -- Armistice Day in France. + +โ€œEvents moved so fast in 1918, they made the mission moot,โ€ says Nelson, author of The Polar Bear Expedition*.* โ€œThey kept these guys in isolated, naked positions well into 1919. The biggest complaint you heard from the soldiers was, โ€˜No one can tell us why weโ€™re here,โ€™ especially after the Armistice.โ€ The Bolshevik Revolution had โ€œdismayedโ€ most Americans, Russia scholar Warren B. Walsh wrote in 1947, โ€œmostly because we thought that the Bolsheviks were German agents or, at least, were playing our enemyโ€™s game.โ€ But with Germanyโ€™s defeat, many Americans -- including many Polar Bears -- questioned why U.S. troops were still at war. + +While the Polar Bears played a reluctant role in the Russian Civil War, the U.S. commander in Siberia, General William Graves, did his best to keep his troops out of it. In August 1918, before Graves left the U.S., Secretary of War Newton Baker met the general to personally hand him Wilsonโ€™s memo about the mission. โ€œWatch your step; you will be walking on eggs loaded with dynamite,โ€ Baker warned Graves. He was right. + +Graves and the AEF Siberia landed in Vladivostok that month with, as Graves later wrote, โ€œno information as to the military, political, social, economic, or financial situation in Russia.โ€ The Czechs, not the Bolsheviks, controlled most of Siberia, including the Trans-Siberian Railway. Graves deployed his troops to guard parts of the railway and the coal mines that powered it -- the lifeline for the Czechs and White Russians fighting the Red Army. + +But Russiaโ€™s quickly shifting politics complicated Gravesโ€™ mission. In November 1918, an authoritarian White Russian admiral, Alexander Kolchak, overthrew a provisional government in Siberia that the Czechs had supported. With that, and the war in Europe over, the Czechs stopped fighting the Red Army, wanting instead to return to their newly independent homeland. Now Graves was left to maintain a delicate balance: keep the Trans-Siberian Railway open to ferry secret military aid to Kolchak, without outright joining the Russian Civil War. + +![Alexander Kolchak](https://th-thumbnailer.cdn-si-edu.com/-E-5DL-klwOiKe8PvaotWEcHlu8=/fit-in/1072x0/https://tf-cmsv2-smithsonianmag-media.s3.amazonaws.com/filer/83/fa/83fa6a87-dbfb-4c85-b550-68e406f238b9/kolchak_decorating_troops.jpg) + +Alexander Kolchak decorates his troops [Wikicommons](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_movement#/media/File:Kolchak_decorating_troops.jpg) + +Opposition to the Russia deployments grew at home. โ€œWhat is the policy of our nation toward Russia?โ€ asked Senator Hiram Johnson, a progressive Republican from California, in a speech on December 12, 1918. โ€œI do not know our policy, and I know no other man who knows our policy.โ€ Johnson, a reluctant supporter of Americaโ€™s entry into World War I, joined with anti-war progressive [Senator Robert La Follette](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/fake-news-and-fervent-nationalism-got-senator-robert-la-follette-tarred-traitor-his-anti-war-views-180965317/) to build opposition to the Russia missions. + +The Bolsheviksโ€™ January 1919 offensive against American troops in north Russia -- which began with the deadly attack on Meadโ€™s platoon -- attracted attention in newspapers across the nation. For seven days, the Polar Bears, outnumbered eight to one, retreated north under fire from several villages along the Vaga River. On February 9, a *Chicago Tribune* political cartoon depicted a giant Russian bear, blood dripping from its mouth, confronting a much smaller soldier holding the U.S. flag. โ€œAt Its Mercy,โ€ the caption read. + +On February 14, Johnsonโ€™s resolution challenging the U.S. deployment in north Russia failed by one vote in the Senate, with Vice President Thomas Marshall breaking a tie to defeat it. Days later, Secretary of War Baker announced that the Polar Bears would sail home โ€œat the earliest possible moment that weather in the spring will permitโ€ -- once the frozen White Sea thawed and Archangelโ€™s port reopened. Though Bolshevik attacks continued through May, the last Polar Bears left Archangel on June 15, 1919. Their nine-month campaign had cost them 235 men. โ€œWhen the last battalion set sail from Archangel, not a soldier knew, no, not even vaguely, why he had fought or why he was going now, and why his comrades were left behind -- so many of them beneath the wooden crosses,โ€ wrote Lieutenant John Cudahy of the 339th regiment in his book *Archangel.* + +But Wilson decided to keep U.S. troops in Siberia, to use the Trans-Siberian Railway to arm the White Russians and because he feared that Japan, a fellow Allied nation that had flooded eastern Siberia with 72,000 troops, wanted to take over the region and the railroad. Graves and his soldiers persevered, but they found that Americaโ€™s erstwhile allies in Siberia posed the greatest danger. + +Sticking to Wilsonโ€™s stated (though disingenuous) goal of non-intervention in the Russian Civil War, Graves resisted pressure from other Alliesโ€”Britain, France, Japan, and the White Russiansโ€”to arrest and fight Bolsheviks in Siberia. Wilson and Baker backed him up, but the Japanese didnโ€™t want the U.S. troops there, and with Graves not taking their side, neither did the White Russians. + +Across Siberia, Kolchakโ€™s forces launched a reign of terror, including executions and torture. Especially brutal were Kolchakโ€™s commanders in the far east, Cossack generals Grigori Semenov and Ivan Kalmikov. Their troops, โ€œunder the protection of Japanese troops, were roaming the country like wild animals, killing and robbing the people,โ€ Graves wrote in his memoir. โ€œIf questions were asked about these brutal murders, the reply was that the people murdered were Bolsheviks and this explanation, apparently, satisfied the world.โ€ Semenov, who took to harassing Americans along the Trans-Siberian Railway, commanded armored trains with names such as The Merciless, The Destroyer, and The Terrible. + +![Our Soldiers in Siberia!](https://th-thumbnailer.cdn-si-edu.com/a1S3Kmg28JnKJ9NSHcF9cZR4TlU=/fit-in/1072x0/https://tf-cmsv2-smithsonianmag-media.s3.amazonaws.com/filer/ce/f1/cef1bf8b-3d02-41e7-964f-2e09d43bbfe9/50224v.jpg) + +Americans on the home front were asked to buy war stamps to support the forces in Siberia Library of Congress + +Just when the Americans and the White Russian bandits seemed on the verge of open warfare, the Bolsheviks began to win the Russian Civil War. In January 1920, near defeat, Kolchak asked the Czech Legion for protection. Appalled at his crimes, the Czechs instead turned Kolchak over to the Red Army in exchange for safe passage home, and a Bolshevik firing squad executed him in February. In January 1920, the Wilson administration ordered U.S. troops out of Siberia, citing โ€œunstable civil authority and frequent local military interferenceโ€ with the railway. Graves completed the withdrawal on April 1, 1920, having lost 189 men. + +Veterans of the U.S. interventions in Russia wrote angry memoirs after coming home. One Polar Bear, Lieutenant Harry Costello, titled his book, *Why Did We Go To Russia?* Graves, in his memoir, defended himself against charges he shouldโ€™ve aggressively fought Bolsheviks in Siberia and reminded readers of White Russian atrocities. In 1929, some former soldiers of the 339th regiment returned to North Russia to recover the remains of 86 comrades.

Perhaps youโ€™ve heard of him? He recently ran to be mayor of Los Angeles, [spent $104 million](https://www.politico.com/news/2022/11/18/rick-caruso-lost-la-mayors-race-00069343) of his estimated $4 billion doing so, and lost by nearly 10 points. + + ![A wide intersection with two malls on either side and a group of people crossing the street.](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/MqfVDjFu4PlXXfLY2InoL330KIE=/0x0:2000x1333/1200x0/filters:focal(0x0:2000x1333):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24435367/2023_02_07_Galleria_Americana_DTF_020.jpg) + +Central Avenue divides the two malls, the Galleria on the left, and the Americana on the right. + +Late last summer, as Carusoโ€™s campaign was gearing up to [spend more on local TV ads](https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-09-16/caruso-ad-buy) than any mayoral candidate in the cityโ€™s history, word got out that Din Tai Fung was leaving Carusoโ€™s biggest mall (in square footage), the Americana. Not just leaving. Din Tai Fung was moving across the street. To the much more indoor, much less โ€œcoolโ€ mall: the Galleria. + +This was odd โ€” definitely unexpected โ€” and *great* gossip for a certain type of Angeleno who is aware of both the Americana and the Galleria and the garlic green bean situation at Din Tai Fung. In the 1980s teen rom-com movie version of this, it was like the most attractive, [high-achieving girl](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Say_Anything...) in high school โ€” Din Tai Fung โ€” suddenly dating someone โ€” the Galleria โ€” from a whole different social clique; the [Lloyd Dobler](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pvuv2sn5fDQ) of malls. + +Part of this image of the Galleria as somehow lower status than the Americana is simply that itโ€™s an older mall, from an older era of mall design and philosophy. When it opened, in 1976, the Galleriaโ€™s principal designer, Jon Jerde, was heavily influenced by an essay by the novelist Ray Bradbury, published in *The Los Angeles Times WEST Magazine* and titled โ€œSomewhere to Go.โ€ For another Jerde mall, in San Diego, Bradbury even wrote a manifesto of sorts called โ€œThe Aesthetics of Lostnessโ€ โ€” a phrase that, as the writer Andrew Oโ€™Hagan [recently put it](https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v44/n24/andrew-o-hagan/short-cuts), โ€œstill provides the best definition of the ambience of shopping malls, a feeling of comforting distraction and exciting misplacedness akin to foreign travel.โ€ + + ![](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/C--yn1WH5S-sTpYL-392-Q0KNG0=/0x0:1000x1000/1200x0/filters:focal(0x0:1000x1000):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24440154/Untitled_4_02.png) + +When I consider the aesthetics of lostness, Jerdeโ€™s Galleria immediately springs to mind.

Itโ€™s the sort of hyperlocal humor that, particularly in LA โ€” which is [not one city but many](https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/05/los-angeles-city-state/619042/), and vast, and often lonely โ€” helps bind the place together, reminding us of our common, shared experiences, like losing our car [in a mall parking lot](https://twitter.com/americanamemes/status/1505772185629077505). + +Last August, moments after [news of the Din Tai Fung move broke](https://la.eater.com/2022/8/4/23292156/am-intel-morning-briefing-news-restaurant-los-angeles-din-tai-fung-americana-glendale-galleria), the man who runs the Americana at Brand Memes Twitter account was out to breakfast with his mother-in-law when his phone began buzzing. Something was up. The buzzing did not stop. Hmm, he thought. This is probably big. This man โ€” letโ€™s just call him Mike โ€” checked his phone. Oh, wow, yes. โ€œThis was like when Lebron left Cleveland,โ€ he said, recalling the moment he saw his replies and learned the news. This was months later; we were talking on the phone. I reminded Mike that Lebron left Cleveland *twice*: first for Miami, then Los Angeles โ€” two cities that are quite a bit flashier than Cleveland. Was he saying the Galleria was like those cities? + +โ€œRight,โ€ Mike told me. โ€œRight. No. You know, I donโ€™t really follow sports.โ€ Also, the Americana is nothing like Cleveland. I mean, itโ€™s got one of those Vegas Bellagio-style fountains that fires off streams of choreographed dancing water. Also: a whimsical steampunk parking lot elevator. And a Cheesecake Factory. And a trolley! The Americanaโ€™s aesthetics are decidedly not of lostness. There is no โ€œexcited misplacedness,โ€ no sense of the foreign. Itโ€™s all quite calming and familiar because itโ€™s more or less Walt Disneyโ€™s Main Street, U.S.A., a place that, even if youโ€™ve never been, you know. โ€œSo, what cityโ€™s like the Galleria?โ€ Mike asked me. I said I wasnโ€™t sure. Milwaukee, maybe? + +Not long after he learned of the Din Tai Fung move, Mike fired off a tweet: First, a screencap from the show [*Nathan for You*](https://www.cc.com/shows/nathan-for-you), in which host Nathan Fielder presents small business owners with insane-sounding plans for growing their revenue. โ€œThe plan?โ€ Mike then wrote. โ€œMove Din Tai Fung from the Americana to the Galleria. So, people can start parking at the Galleria and actually go to the Galleria.โ€ + +This tracked. It is a [well-known fact](https://twitter.com/americanamemes/status/1216568609545175040?lang=en) that the parking at the Galleria is free, while at the Americana, it is not. Indeed, the time Iโ€™d lost my car there, Iโ€™d not actually gone into the mall either. Later, Mike tweeted, โ€œWow! CNN is covering it!โ€ and a screencap of Wolf Blitzer with the photoshopped chyron โ€œDin Tai Fung Leaves The Americana for The Glendale Galleria.โ€ + +--- + +**The reasons behind Din Tai Fung** up and leaving the Americana are, from one angle, pretty cut-and-dried. This was a business decision. Din Tai Fung had โ€œneeded โ€œmore space for equipment upgradesโ€ (their words, echoed by the official line from the Caruso camp: โ€œ\[T\]hey inquired about additional space \[which\] โ€ฆ we were unable to accommodateโ€ฆโ€). The lease was coming up, and Brookfield Properties โ€” which owns the Galleria โ€” offered Din Tai Fung a location that was much bigger, with higher visibility, just across the street from the Americanaโ€™s Cheesecake Factory, smack in the middle of Central Avenue, and right at the main entrance of the Galleria where a Gap used to be. Keith Isselhardt, the Senior Vice President of Leasing at Brookfield who oversaw the deal, told me it was as simple as โ€œone plus one equals three,โ€ that the Galleria was, according to him, a property with โ€œmasses of asses,โ€ and that they could put Din Tai Fung right on the corner of โ€œMain and Main.โ€ + + ![](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/9xOlwhN3Hd1-QOUEWS8H31kLa2Y=/0x0:1000x1000/1200x0/filters:focal(0x0:1000x1000):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24440156/Untitled_4_01.png) + +Richard Kessler, the COO of [a New York-based real estate company](https://benensoncapital.com/) that owns malls and other retail properties throughout America, told me that when a restaurant like Din Tai Fung is in play, the rules change. Most restaurants in most malls are what Kessler would call commodity restaurants. Kessler lives in New York City, so his version of a commodity restaurant is a couple of Italian spots near his house. โ€œThe food is okay. And if, on a Sunday night, we want pasta, which we usually do, weโ€™ll go there because itโ€™s right there,โ€ he said. These are incidental places. You go to them because, hey, you were just walking by, and you were hungry, so why not? โ€œBut then โ€” then there are restaurants that are so amazing and special and unique that they could be in the basement of a parking garage, and youโ€™d go.โ€ Din Tai Fung was like that, Kessler said. It was a draw. The dream of every mall owner. + + ![A steamer basket of delicate dumplings sits beside plates of greens, a tower of cucumbers, and a plate of wood-ear mushrooms](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/LKNpvwyKGUVSRRMH9iIkWGYll4c=/0x0:2000x1333/1200x0/filters:focal(0x0:2000x1333):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24435377/2023_02_07_Galleria_Americana_DTF_039.jpg) + +Din Tai Fung has its roots in Taipei, and has become famous in the U.S. for its xiao long bao dumplings. + +The archetypal mall is arranged around the symbiotic concepts of foot traffic and impulse shopping: the idea that people often go to a mall with one primary purchase to make โ€” but on their way, because theyโ€™re there and happen to see something else, they make another, and another. Department stores, located at either end of what Kessler called โ€œthe spine of the mall,โ€ are the classic example. โ€œThe reason theyโ€™re there is because people want to go to them, and while theyโ€™re getting to them, theyโ€™re passing all the other shops.โ€ Foot traffic like this determines nearly everything in malls, but particularly when it comes to lease negotiation. Every business that isnโ€™t itself a draw wants to be near one because of the increased foot traffic, which will, inevitably, lead to increased business. + +But department stores donโ€™t anchor like they used to, and tracking foot traffic has become a lot more scientific in the smartphone era. Today, Kessler told me that the highest rents in any given mall are usually near the Apple Store, which has the added benefit of being a place folks go not only to buy something but to wait for appointments. And while they wait in an environment hyper-engineered to get them shopping โ€” well, they shop. + +An eternally crowded restaurant like Din Tai Fung also works as a kind of Apple Store, but for food. People stand around, waiting for their table, waiting for the rest of their party to arrive, and โ€” oh, hey. Whatโ€™s that? A Sunglass Hut? + +One of the oddest parts about Din Tai Fungโ€™s current Glendale location within the Americana is that itโ€™s off in one quiet corner of the mall, somewhat isolated from other storefronts. Rather than facing the mallโ€™s spine, its primary entrance faces a wide street โ€” Brand Boulevard โ€” while the back entrance is in a alleyway near the valet parking. There isnโ€™t much opportunity for spillover business. + +But the other angle to Din Tai Fung leaving that is not so cut-and-dried has to do with what Din Tai Fung represents to the Galleria, and what the Galleria represents to malls, and what malls represent to all of us. + +Din Tai Fung is a new kind of tenant for the Galleria, where the only other restaurant with a full-service dining room is a Red Robin. While high-end, destination dining within malls is not particularly new (indeed, Isselhardt rattled off the names of half a dozen other fancy restaurant tenants at other mall properties of Brookfieldโ€™s), a restaurant like Din Tai Fung in a mall like the Galleria is different, I think, because the Galleria is different โ€” certainly different from the Americana. But also representative of a whole previous era of malls and of an older, more utopian philosophy of what malls might be. And, more to the point, who they might be for. + +That Ray Bradbury essay that inspired the Galleriaโ€™s design is about the novelistโ€™s great hope for shopping malls and how they could solve the ongoing problem of centerlessness in Los Angeles, his hometown. Bradbury wrote that these spaces could act like contained, miniaturized downtowns, [full of plazas](https://scvhistory.com/scvhistory/bradbury.htm) and people. Malls, he wrote, are meant for everyone โ€” everyone needed โ€œsomewhere to go,โ€ and malls could be that somewhere. But Bradbury had an ironic blind spot for the guy who wrote *Fahrenheit 451*. Malls are for the public only [up to a line](https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.4324/9781315095202-13/fortress-los-angeles-militarization-urban-space-mike-davis), which is drawn by the mallโ€™s owner. When Rick Caruso was campaigning for mayor, his company [denied protestors permission](https://spectrumnews1.com/ca/la-west/politics/2022/08/16/plaintiffs-critical-of-caruso-sue-over-alleged-grove-protest-restrictions) to hold small-scale marches against his candidacy at the companyโ€™s highest grossing property, the Grove, another outdoor shopping mall that has, [in some years](https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2013/03/rick-caruso-the-grove-la), pulled in more visitors than even Disneyland. And even when visitors arenโ€™t explicitly excluded, there are subtler ways that malls signal who they are for, simply by what is affordable, or not; by whether the parking is free, or not. + +There was something undeniably democratic about the Galleria โ€” a mall that, I readily admit, I had spent very little time in until reporting this essay โ€” where there is a Macyโ€™s *and* a Target *and* a Bloomingdaleโ€™s *and* a JCPenney. The hodgepodge of shops, some of which werenโ€™t even shops at all, I found strange and delightful: like the escape room above Selfie WRLD and next to the military recruitment center. Or in a space I kept wandering back to, at first for utilitarian reasons (a seat, a drink, a bathroom, a kebab) and later for the simple pleasure of people watching. This zone was my absolute favorite within the Galleria, and it reminded me of a line in Alexandra Langeโ€™s essential history of malls, *Meet Me by the Fountain* โ€” that โ€œpeople love to be in public with other peopleโ€ and that this โ€œis the core of the mallโ€™s strength, and the essence of its ongoing utility.โ€ + +My favorite space? It was the food court โ€” a place of some special historical importance, as it is where the very first Panda Express opened, in 1983. It was also just a crazy hubbub of office workers out on their lunch breaks, families out shopping, packs of teenagers out doing mysterious teenage things. I spent one lunch watching as two young military recruiters egged each other on to approach the various packs of teens and give them their pitch. Great human drama, all of it, just there for my viewing pleasure. And the parking was free. + +Recently, after many visits to both the Galleria and the Americana, I called up Clara Irazรกbal, the director of the Urban Studies and Planning Program at the University of Maryland. Irazรกbal had lived in LA and [written a paper](https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13563470701640150) Iโ€™d encountered, comparing malls in Hong Kong with those in Los Angeles. Irazรกbal had also in her long career considered urban spaces in Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Trinidad and Tobago, and her native Venezuela, as well as all over the U.S. I wanted to talk to her about how odd it was to find a far more vibrant, lively, city-like scene in the enclosed and unhip food court of the much older mall, and not in the open-air mall across the street that was, after all, meant to look like a fantasy vision of Main Street in small-town America in the early 20th century. + + ![Tables and chairs are lined up within a colorful indoor food court.](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/c2ARBi6idkyZ2xsLItLRNymeRdA=/0x0:2000x1333/1200x0/filters:focal(0x0:2000x1333):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24435388/2023_02_07_Galleria_Americana_DTF_010.jpg) + +The current food court at the Glendale Galleria skews multicultural, and was home for the first Panda Express. + +I told Irazรกbal about Din Tai Fung, about how its enclosed dining room, reservation situation, and food prices all stood in such stark contrast to a food court spot like Massis Kabob, which has been in the Galleria since it opened. And I realized, as I was going on about how invigorating it was to see this busy mix of workers and shoppers and families and teens and retirees, this jumbled cross-section of *citizens* in what is so often a lonely and isolating place, that Iโ€™d got the Galleria all wrong. It wasnโ€™t this weird, empty wasteland unworthy of an extraordinary dumpling shop. And it wasnโ€™t that no one ever went there. Itโ€™s that *I* never went there. Maybe because Iโ€™d bought into the idea that malls were dead or dying or just not for me. And maybe the internationally heralded dumpling house moving there wasnโ€™t exactly a get but a threat to the messier, certainly more lowbrow, but absolutely more fun space: the food court. + +โ€œIt sounds wonderful,โ€ Irazรกbal said of the court. โ€œA place to appreciate the polity.โ€ Yes. That was it. This was a place for everyone. โ€œItโ€™s sad,โ€ Irazรกbal continued, โ€œwe are getting farther and farther away from these spaces, where we can have casual encounters. That lessens our fear of the other, you know. If we arenโ€™t exposed to people who are different in all sorts of ways, we start fearing them. We fear the unknown, and change, so this new mall, it is very comforting for the people that visit it because they arenโ€™t exposed to anything that they donโ€™t know or expect.

Weinstein would not testify. For both sides, Weinstein is the iconic Bad Manโ€”the โ€œmonster,โ€ per the prosecution, or the scapegoat, his defense might say. In his opening statement, one of Weinsteinโ€™s lawyers, Mark Werksman, argued that the case was not about wrongdoing by Weinstein, but, rather, about regret, recontextualization, and lies. โ€œYou will learn that the allegations can be traced directly to a movement called the MeToo movement,โ€ Werksman said. โ€œAn asteroid called the MeToo movement hit Earth with such ferocity that everything changed overnight. And Mr. Weinstein became the epicenter of the MeToo movement.โ€ -His metaphor, though mixed, was telling: he describes #MeToo as a destructive external force that cratered his client.

In the L.A. case, Werksman painted Weinsteinโ€™s accusers, four women identified in court as Jane Does No. 1 through 4, as the attention-seeking pick-meโ€™s of a wannabe victim army. The defense claimed that Jane Doe No. 1 and Jane Doe No. 2โ€”she testified in the New York trial, publicly identifying herself as Lauren Youngโ€”fabricated their stories outright. Jane Doe No. 3 and Jane Doe No. 4, Werksman said, reframed consensual adult relationshipsโ€”of the transactional, casting-couch varietyโ€”as felonies. diff --git a/00.03 News/The Highs, Lows, and Whoas of the 2023 Grammy Awards.md b/00.03 News/The Highs, Lows, and Whoas of the 2023 Grammy Awards.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..df1b7c36 --- /dev/null +++ b/00.03 News/The Highs, Lows, and Whoas of the 2023 Grammy Awards.md @@ -0,0 +1,106 @@ +--- + +Tag: ["๐ŸŽญ", "๐ŸŽต", "๐Ÿ†", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ"] +Date: 2023-02-07 +DocType: "WebClipping" +Hierarchy: +TimeStamp: 2023-02-07 +Link: https://www.vulture.com/2023/02/grammys-2023-recap-best-worst-performances-winners.html?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=One%20Great%20Story%20-%20February%206%2C%202023&utm_term=Subscription%20List%20-%20One%20Great%20Story +location: +CollapseMetaTable: true + +--- + +Parent:: [[@News|News]] +Read:: [[2023-02-07]] + +--- + +  + +```button +name Save +type command +action Save current file +id Save +``` +^button-TheHighsLowsandWhoasoftheGrammyAwardsNSave + +  + +# The Highs, Lows, and Whoas of the 2023 Grammy Awards + +![](https://pyxis.nymag.com/v1/imgs/d40/93e/392dd23fac0c37b3128d680db9956d4714-harry-styles.rhorizontal.w700.jpg) + +Photo: Robert Gauthier/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images + +The biggest Grammys in recent memory was, as these things go, [the most polarizing](https://www.vulture.com/2023/02/grammys-harry-styles-album-of-the-year.html). Beyoncรฉ expectedly broke the record for most Grammy wins of all time but still couldnโ€™t ride that wave to an Album of the Year trophy. A slew of A-listers was in the house, but left-field picks like Bonnie Raitt and Samara Joy won out in major categories. The tribute performances actually delivered(!), while stars like Harry Styles, shockingly, didnโ€™t. But just like the Academy hyping Beyoncรฉ and AOTY all night, Iโ€™m getting ahead of myself. Here are the highs, lows, and whoas of the 2023 ceremony. + +**High: A young wave washes up.** +The Grammys may have doubled the nominee pool for Best New Artist, but that hasnโ€™t necessarily lifted up new artists down ballot โ€” except for this year, when four of the ten Best New Artist nominees won Grammys in their respective genre categories: Molly Tuttle for Best Bluegrass Album, Samara Joy for Best Jazz Album, Muni Long for Best R&B Performance, and [Wet Leg](https://www.vulture.com/2022/08/wet-leg-david-byrne-interview.html) for Best Alternative Song and Album. On top of that, Latto and DOMi and JD Beck earned nominations outside BNA. Younger acts like Billie Eilish, Lizzo, and Olivia Rodrigo have been some of the biggest Grammys players in recent years, so itโ€™s great to see the Academy carrying on that investment to the next generation. + +**Low: But old habits die hard.** +Still, in the categories with some of the most exciting nominees, voters fell back on people they knew best. Ozzy Osbourne won Best Metal Performance and Best Rock Album despite competition from breakout hardcore band Turnstile in the former and popular rockers like Idles and Machine Gun Kelly (sorry, itโ€™s true!) in the latter. Meanwhile, in country, Willie Nelson won his 14th and 15th Grammys, for Best Country Solo Performance and Best Country Album, over more contemporary movers like Kelsea Ballerini, Maren Morris, and Zach Bryan. Yes, Ozzy and Willie are great, but every time the Grammys continue to award an artist like them, they miss the chance to get it right with future legends. + +**Whoa: Up next on the red carpet, itโ€™s** [***Miss Americana* star Tree Paine**](https://www.thecut.com/2020/02/who-is-tree-paine-meet-taylor-swifts-publicist-in-miss-americana.html)**!** + +Itโ€™s not every day you see one of the most powerful women in music fixing dresses. + +**High: Bad Bunny opens the show with members of the crowd on their feet.** + +The easiest way to start at a ten may be to book Bad Bunny as your opening artist. That happened when Benito kicked things off by snaking through the audience to an equally crowded stage with dozens of dancers and a full backing band. [He got nearly everyone on their feet](https://www.vulture.com/2023/02/bad-bunny-grammys-performance-2023.html), from Taylor Swift to Jack Harlow (except for Mary J. Blige โ€” we see you!), dancing to the burst of joy that is โ€œDespuรฉs de la Playa.โ€ And *now* you know [why everyoneโ€™s rushing to his concerts](https://www.vulture.com/2022/08/bad-bunny-yankee-stadium-photos-bronx.html). + +**Meh: Trevor Noah gives it 50 percent.** + +In his third year of hosting, and his first away from *The Daily Show*, Trevor Noah seemed more comfortable than ever at the Grammys. Yes, Noah did his job: He cracked jokes about the nominees, put in some crowd work, and kept us up to date on how close Beyoncรฉ was to breaking the all-time-wins record. But he didnโ€™t do much beyond that. โ€œI was so inspired by the lyrics of โ€˜Break My Soulโ€™ that I actually quit my job,โ€ he joked. Is Noah quiet quitting *this* job now too? + +**Whoa: Brandi Carlile melts some faces.** +I was initially disappointed that the Grammys didnโ€™t book a big rock nominee like Turnstile or Wet Leg to perform, but the Academy can always rely on its mainstay when it counts. After winning awards in American Roots and Country, and even earning a nomination in Pop, [Brandi Carlile](https://www.vulture.com/2021/04/interview-brandi-carlile-memoir-broken-horses.html) found a new way to break Grammys ground this year, netting awards for Best Rock Performance and Song. And if you didnโ€™t believe she belonged in a field alongside Ozzy and the Black Keys, she proceeded to prove you wrong with her performance of โ€œBroken Horses.โ€ Flanked by her longtime twin producers on guitars and not-twins Lucius on backing vocals, Carlile shredded, screamed, and scorched her way through the Grammy-winning track. + +**Whoa: Where was Beyoncรฉ?** +L.A. traffic strikes again. Beyoncรฉ wasnโ€™t even there to see herself tie the record for most Grammy wins of all time, because she was stuck in a limo on her way to Crypto.com Arena. Her co-winner for Best R&B Song, the-Dream, [accepted on her behalf](https://twitter.com/phil_lewis_/status/1622411729417150466). + +**High: Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson bring some Motown magic.** +It was impossible to not smile during Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinsonโ€™s Motown medley, which honored MusiCares Person of the Year winners Robinson and label founder Berry Gordy. Wonder anchored the performance, still sounding as good as he did six decades ago, while Robinson was just having fun doing what he does best (swaying to โ€œThe Tears of a Clownโ€). Even Chris Stapleton slipped into โ€œHigher Groundโ€ perfectly in a rare instance of a Grammy Momentโ„ข actually working. + +**Whoa: Kim Petras is the first transgender winner of Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.** + +And you know Sam Smith [told her](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/sam-smith-wrong-not-first-871208/) to say it. (That said, [Petras gave a touching tribute to her late trans collaborator SOPHIE](https://www.vulture.com/2023/02/sam-smith-kim-petras-grammys-win-history.html) while managing to shout out both her gay mother, Madonna, *and* her actual mother.) + +**Low: Harry Styles is off to a shaky start.** +Harry Styles played five shows in the ten days before the Grammys and, well, we could tell from the moment he opened his mouth. Styles missed some of the first notes during his performance of โ€œAs It Wasโ€ and couldnโ€™t recover, consistently going for the lower notes on the chorus. To make matters worse, he wedged a confusing, borderline-silly dance routine on a spinning platform midway through the performance. + +**Whoa: Quavoโ€™s In Memoriam for Takeoff hits close to home.** + +The Grammys gave fans a bit of a warning by announcing that Quavo would be one of the In Memoriam performers, honoring his late nephew and collaborator, Takeoff. But even that couldnโ€™t have prepared viewers for the sight of an empty chair and mic adorned with the late rapperโ€™s chain as Quavo performed the tribute song โ€œWithout Youโ€ (backed by gospel group Maverick City Music performing โ€œSee You Againโ€ in a mashup that surprisingly worked). All of the tributes โ€” which included Kacey Musgraves singing โ€œCoal Minerโ€™s Daughterโ€ for Loretta Lynn as well as Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow, and Mick Fleetwood doing โ€œSongbirdโ€ for Christine McVie โ€” were polished and felt, but this one hit another emotional level. + +**Low: Well, Sam Smith and Kim Petras warned us.** + +Because that performance was something unholy โ€” and not in a good way. + +**Whoa: Hip-hop overload.** +There was no way the Grammys could wedge more than two dozen rap performances into one segment and satisfy everyone. But this is the Grammys, so they still tried, even if that meant your favorite rapper only got eight bars out of it (who cuts off โ€œThe Messageโ€?!). Not that it mattered โ€” the tribute in honor of hip-hopโ€™s 50th anniversary was an exciting, whiplash-inducing trip through rap history featuring the most legends you could crowd onstage in ten minutes. Grandmaster Flash and DJ Jazzy Jeff scratched it up, Missy Elliott and GloRilla got the crowd moving, Busta Rhymes and Black Thought *spit*. Also โ€” shoutout to Fatima Robinson for her high-energy choreography and the Roots for holding things down as the medleyโ€™s backing band. + +**High: Beyoncรฉ earns her spot in Grammys history.** +Yes, I know, you already heard it at least ten times from Trevor Noah and James Corden. But still, wasnโ€™t it touching seeing [Beyoncรฉ break the record for most Grammys won](https://www.vulture.com/2023/02/beyonce-most-grammy-awards-history.html) and getting [*some* Academy recognition](https://www.vulture.com/2023/02/grammys-2023-beyonce-how-many-grammys-ranked.html) for her game-changing career? The speech that followed was a rare moment of vulnerability from Bey, who, on the verge of tears, thanked her late uncle Johnny and the queer community for paving the way for her dance-history tribute, *Renaissance*. + +**High: The vocals.** +After Stevie Wonder and Chris Stapletonโ€™s run-off in the Motown medley, the night turned into a battle of the voices. Lizzo brought a whole choir for her performance of โ€œAbout Damn Timeโ€ and โ€œSpecialโ€ with some church-worthy belting, Luke Combs showed off the vocals that got him out of his bar bouncer gig, and Mary J. Blige blew everyone out of the water with a showstopping performance of โ€œGood Morning Gorgeous.โ€ Even Steve Lacy threw a few more runs into โ€œBad Habit.โ€ The Grammys tend to prize some good-old-fashioned wailing when it comes to awards, and onstage tonight, the performers gave the Academy what it wanted. + +**Whoa: Curveballs all around the general categories.** + +Nobody was more shocked about those wins than Bonnie Raitt, Lizzo, and Samara Joy. Up against heavy-hitters like Harry Styles, Kendrick Lamar, Adele, and Beyoncรฉ, some true dark horses won Song and Record of the Year. Raittโ€™s face said it all when her name was read for SOTY for โ€œJust Like That,โ€ the title track from her 18th studio album. And sure, โ€œAbout Damn Timeโ€ was a No. 1, but even Lizzo clearly thought she was in the middle of the pack based on her equally surprised reaction. The trend held through Best New Artist, when breakout jazz singer Samara Joy beat out more recognizable names like Latto, Anitta, and Omar Apollo. Yes, all these wins had explanations: Raitt was the only solo writer up for Song of the Year (she won a Lifetime Achievement Grammy last year), Lizzo is a highly visible pop star who was snubbed in the generals for her last album thanks to a Billie Eilish sweep, and Joy wasnโ€™t even the first jazz musician to win Best New Artist. But after Jon Batiste surprised in Album of the Year in 2022, the post-committee Grammys are sending a clear message: The Academy is more than okay with charting its own path away from the mainstream. + +**Low: Album of the Year remains out of reach for Beyoncรฉ.** +The last time Beyoncรฉ lost Album of the Year, for *Lemonade* in 2017, [Vultureโ€™s Rembert Browne wrote](https://www.vulture.com/2017/02/what-more-does-beyonc-have-to-do-to-win-album-of-the-year.html) that she would โ€œhave to make an album of the decadeโ€ to win the top honor. Clearly, that wasnโ€™t even enough after Beyoncรฉ was snubbed in the category for a fourth time for [her earth-shaking seventh album, *Renaissance*](https://www.vulture.com/2022/08/beyonce-renaissance-review.html). Maybe the Academy thought making her the most-awarded artist in Grammys history would be adequate. But is that all lip service if only *one* of those 32 awards was in a general category? I mean, Bonnie Raitt has more general-category wins than Beyoncรฉ does! โ€œThere is no such thing as best in music,โ€ a bewildered, slightly uncomfortable Harry Styles said in his acceptance speech for *Harryโ€™s House*. Except sometimes, itโ€™s painfully obvious that there is โ€” and the Academy still doesnโ€™t see it. + +**Whoa: God did.** +Not even God could help the Academy come back from that Beyoncรฉ snub. Sure, it was fun to see another wild lineup of rap icons sharing a stage (er, street) for that performance, but the most fitting moment to come out of it may have just been DJ Khaled and Jay-Z saying โ€œit breaks my heart.โ€ + +The Highs, Lows, and Whoas of the 2023 Grammy Awards + +  +  + +--- +`$= dv.el('center', 'Source: ' + dv.current().Link + ', ' + dv.current().Date.toLocaleString("fr-FR"))` \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/00.03 News/The History of the Varsity Jacket, From Harvard to Hip-Hop.md b/00.03 News/The History of the Varsity Jacket, From Harvard to Hip-Hop.md index aed2e87c..03f8fd5d 100644 --- a/00.03 News/The History of the Varsity Jacket, From Harvard to Hip-Hop.md +++ b/00.03 News/The History of the Varsity Jacket, From Harvard to Hip-Hop.md @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ dg-publish: true Alias: [""] -Tag: ["Sport", "๐Ÿ‘–", "Jacket"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿฅ‰", "๐Ÿ‘–", "Jacket"] Date: 2022-04-17 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/The Holy Anarchy of Fun.md b/00.03 News/The Holy Anarchy of Fun.md index f51e5e0c..bc4538d9 100644 --- a/00.03 News/The Holy Anarchy of Fun.md +++ b/00.03 News/The Holy Anarchy of Fun.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- -Tag: ["Human", "Philosophy", "Hedonism"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿซ€", "Philosophy", "Hedonism"] Date: 2022-07-10 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/The Incredible True Story of Jody Harris, Con Artist Extraordinaire..md b/00.03 News/The Incredible True Story of Jody Harris, Con Artist Extraordinaire..md index 206fd254..f4b2e2bb 100644 --- a/00.03 News/The Incredible True Story of Jody Harris, Con Artist Extraordinaire..md +++ b/00.03 News/The Incredible True Story of Jody Harris, Con Artist Extraordinaire..md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- -Tag: ["Crime", "โ™Ÿ๏ธ", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿš”", "โ™Ÿ๏ธ", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ"] Date: 2022-06-02 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/The Inside Story of His Race to Execute Every Prisoner He Could.md b/00.03 News/The Inside Story of His Race to Execute Every Prisoner He Could.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..f3508a35 --- /dev/null +++ b/00.03 News/The Inside Story of His Race to Execute Every Prisoner He Could.md @@ -0,0 +1,167 @@ +--- + +Tag: ["๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ", "๐Ÿ˜", "โ˜ ๏ธ"] +Date: 2023-01-29 +DocType: "WebClipping" +Hierarchy: +TimeStamp: 2023-01-29 +Link: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trump-capital-punishment-brandon-bernard-lisa-montgomery-1234664126/ +location: +CollapseMetaTable: true + +--- + +Parent:: [[@News|News]] +Read:: [[2023-01-29]] + +--- + +  + +```button +name Save +type command +action Save current file +id Save +``` +^button-RollingStoneNSave + +  + +# Trumpโ€™s Killing Spree: The Inside Story of His Race to Execute Every Prisoner He Could + +I n the final moments of Brandon Bernardโ€™s life, before he was executed by lethal injection at a federal penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana, on Dec. 10, 2020, President [Donald Trump](https://www.rollingstone.com/t/donald-trump/) picked up the phone to entertain a final plea for mercy on Bernardโ€™s behalf. The call was not with Bernardโ€™s family or his attorneys. Nor was it with representatives from the Justice Departmentโ€™s Pardon Attorney office, who had recommended just days earlier that Trump spare Bernardโ€™s life. + +Rather, the call was with Jamal Fincher Jones, better known as [Polow da Don](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/polow-da-don-country-radio-wycz-nashville-846164/), a music producer responsible for hits like [Ludacris](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/gunna-ludacris-musicians-on-musicians-1240104/)โ€™ โ€œPimpinโ€™ All Over the Worldโ€ and [Nicki Minaj](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/nicki-minajs-queen-radio-controversy-1234591274/)โ€™s โ€œAnaconda.โ€ Jones didnโ€™t know Bernard, but he had publicly endorsed Trump for reelection โ€” and that, Bernardโ€™s advocates had correctly suspected, gave him the best chance of getting the presidentโ€™s ear.ย  + +Trump took the call, but unfortunately for Bernard, [it was too late](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/u-s-set-execute-brandon-bernard-who-was-18-time-n1250748). The president had days earlier spoken with the family of the victims in Bernardโ€™s case โ€” a young couple whoโ€™d been kidnapped and killed โ€” and promised them the execution would go forward. โ€œIโ€™m sorry,โ€ he told Jones. โ€œI canโ€™t do it.โ€ย  + +Bernard was already in the execution chamber while Trump and Jones were talking. Earlier that evening, the Supreme Court had rejected his lawyersโ€™ petition to delay the execution, and Trumpโ€™s refusal to intervene sealed his fate. Granted a final phone call, Bernard spoke with the attorneys and investigators whoโ€™d taken on his case and become his friends, telling them repeatedly that he loved them, before the line went dead. Shortly after 9 p.m. Eastern time, he was injected with Pentobarbital, a drug that cripples the central nervous system, shutting down the lungs and heart.ย  + +โ€œAs the drug started taking its effect, heโ€™s looking in our direction, as if he just wanted somebody to help him,โ€ says Chuck Formosa, a defense investigator whoโ€™d grown close with Bernard after joining his cause in 2008 and attended the execution. โ€œIt was the most fucked-up thing Iโ€™ve ever seen, watching them kill my friend.โ€ + +## Editorโ€™s picks + +## Related + +By 9:27 p.m. Bernard was dead. In that moment, he became the ninth of 13 people executed in the final six months of the Trump administration โ€” more federal executions than in the previous 10 administrations combined. Of the 13, six were put to death after Trump lost the election, his Justice Department accelerating the schedule to ensure they would die before the incoming administration could intercede. Before Trump, there had been only three federal executions since 1963; in January 2021, Trump oversaw three executions during a single four-day stretch. + +Two years before that stretch, Trump had signed perhaps the lone broadly popular major initiative of his presidency: a bipartisan criminal-justice reform bill. By 2020, however, his political calculus had changed. As he geared up for another election, Trump White House sources say, the president was telling advisers that carrying out [capital punishment](https://www.rollingstone.com/t/capital-punishment/) would insulate him from criticism that he was soft on crime. And in his attorney general, Bill Barr, a longtime death-penalty advocate, he had the perfect accomplice. + +The executions, carried out in the name of law and order, [took place at a time of peak lawlessness within](https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/roger-stone-trump-prison-wikileaks-russia-barr-commuted-1027077/) the White House. While his administration killed prisoners at an unprecedented clip, Trump [spent his final months attempting to overturn the 2020 election](https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-premeditated-plan-overturn-election-results-jan-6-hearing-1234610551/), culminating in the Jan. 6 ransacking of the U.S. Capitol. And though Trump did show some mercy on his way out the door, it was largely reserved for political cronies such as Paul Manafort and Roger Stone. + +The killing spree ended with Trumpโ€™s first term, as President Biden suspended capital punishment on the federal level, but it may only have been a pause. The former president is running again โ€” and opened his 2024 campaign with a speech that promised more executions if he wins: โ€œWeโ€™re going to be asking \[for\] everyone who sells drugs, gets caught selling drugs to receive the [death penalty](https://www.rollingstone.com/t/death-penalty/) for their heinous acts,โ€ Trump said in his November campaign announcement. โ€œBecause it is the only way.โ€ + +**Donald Trumpโ€™s enthusiasm** for the death penalty dates back decades. His first real foray into politics was a public call for executions after five teenagers of color were arrested in the brutal rape and assault of a female jogger in New York City in 1989. โ€œBring back the death penalty. Bring back our police,โ€ screamed a full-page ad Trump had placed in the New York *Daily News* at the time. The Central Park Five, as the young men came to be known, were later exonerated by DNA evidence, after they had served years in prison. But Trump never apologized for the ad. + +![](https://www.rollingstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Brandon-with-family-July-2015-1.jpg?w=1024) + +Brandon Bernard participated in a double murder at age 18. By 40, he was counseling at-risk youth and close with his family (pictured). BERNARD DEFENSE TEAM + +By the time he was preparing for his first presidential run, Trump was pitching capital punishment to the American people again. In a May 2015 appearance on *Fox & Friends,* responding to the killing of two police officers in Mississippi, Trump said the death penalty should be โ€œbrought back strong.โ€ Once in office, he suggested it as a potential remedy to the nationโ€™s opioid crisis, a tool that could be used against dealers as a deterrent. (โ€œIf you shoot one person, they give you the death penalty,โ€ he said. โ€œThese people can kill 2,000, 3,000 people, and nothing happens to them.โ€)ย  + +His public statements on the topic were a nudge to the Justice Department, and Trumpโ€™s chief law-enforcement officers took note. In 2018, his first attorney general, Jeff Sessions, began the process of lifting the two-decade, unofficial moratorium on federal executions by issuing a memo that urged federal prosecutors to use existing death-penalty statutes against drug traffickers. But it was Sessionsโ€™ successor, Barr, who took the concrete step in July 2019 of ordering the Federal Bureau of Prisons to resume executions.ย  + +Barr wrote proudly of the decision in his book *One Damn Thing After Another: Memoirs of an Attorney General*, published about a year after the Trump presidency ended, devoting a whole chapter โ€” โ€œBringing Justice to Violent Predatorsโ€ โ€” to the blitz of federal executions. Not a shocking move from a man who, while George H.W. Bushโ€™s attorney general in the early 1990s, praised the death penalty in a series of official recommendations, claiming that it works as a deterrent, โ€œpermanently incapacitate\[s\] extremely violent offenders,โ€ and โ€œserves the important societal goal of just retribution.โ€ (Without a hint of irony, he added, โ€œIt reaffirms societyโ€™s moral outrage at the wanton destruction of innocent human life.โ€) + +Trump, of course, was not so keen to engage with the subject intellectually. The sum total of his discussions of the death penalty with his top law-enforcement officer, Barr says, was a single, offhand conversation. After an unrelated White House meeting, Barr was preparing to leave the Oval Office when, he says, he gave Trump a โ€œheads-upโ€ that โ€œwe would be resuming the death penalty.โ€ Trump โ€” apparently unaware of his own AGโ€™s longstanding philosophy on capital punishment โ€” asked Barr if he personally supported the death penalty and why. + +Trumpโ€™s lack of interest in the details had grave repercussions for the people whose fates were in his hands. According to multiple sources inside the administration, Trump completely disregarded the advice of the Office of the Pardon Attorney, an administrative body designed to administer impartial pleas for clemency in death-penalty cases and other, lower-level offenses. And Barr says he does not recall discussing any of the 13 inmates who were eventually killed with the president who sent them to the death chamber.ย  + +That means Trump never talked with Barr about Lisa Montgomery, a deeply mentally ill and traumatized person who became the [first woman executed by the federal government since 1953](https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-will-let-mentally-ill-lisa-montgomery-be-killed-in-a-few-days-biden-would-have-likely-spared-her). Or Wesley Ira Purkey, whose execution was delayed a day by a judge who ruled that his advancing Alzheimerโ€™s disease had left Purkey unaware of why he was being executed. (The Supreme Court reversed that ruling the next day.) Or Daniel Lewis Lee, Dustin Lee Honken, Lezmond Charles Mitchell, Keith Dwayne Nelson, William Emmett LeCroy Jr., Christopher Andre Vialva, Orlando Cordia Hall, Alfred Bourgeois, Corey Johnson, and Dustin John Higgs. + +And it means Trump never spoke with Barr about Brandon Bernard. + +**Had Trump spoken** with Barr or taken the recommendation of his appointed pardon attorney, hereโ€™s what he would have learned about the man he was preparing to put to death. + +Bernard was on death row because of his role in the 1999 carjacking and murder of two married youth ministers, Todd and Stacie Bagley. Out driving in Killeen, Texas, the couple stopped at a convenience store, where they were approached by a group of five young men asking for a ride. When the Bagleys agreed to help, the teenagers, who were affiliated with a local gang, robbed them at gunpoint, forced them into the carโ€™s trunk, and drove to a remote part of the nearby Fort Hood military base. According to court documents, Todd, 26, and Stacie, 28, begged for their lives during the seven-hour stretch they were held in captivity. They said โ€œJesus loves youโ€ in their final moments, urging their kidnappers to embrace a Christian faith, just before they were both shot in the head. Bernard, 18 at the time, was not the gunman, but he lit the car on fire with the Bagleys inside. Todd was already dead when he did so; medical examiners are divided over Stacieโ€™s precise cause of death. + +> As the drug started taking its effect, heโ€™s looking in our direction, as if he just wanted somebody to help him. It was the most fucked-up thing Iโ€™ve seen, watching them kill my friend. + +Because the killings took place on government land, Bernard was tried in federal court. At the center of the case was whether he was a ringleader in the gang or a lackey following orders. Prosecutors pushed the former notion. Meanwhile, Bernardโ€™s court-appointed defense lawyer, according to the attorneys who for years helped him appeal his sentence, failed to make an opening statement. The jury sided with the prosecution, and Bernard was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death. + +More than a decade after Bernardโ€™s 2000 trial, his appellate lawyers uncovered new information about the proceedings. They allege prosecutors withheld critical evidence supporting the idea that, far from a leader directing the murders, Bernard was just a confused teenager following instructions from his place in the gangโ€™s lowest tier. In addition, one prosecutor on Bernardโ€™s case had by 2020 become one of his advocates, arguing in an op-ed that he had not deserved the death penalty and asking that his sentence be commuted. And five of the nine surviving members of the jury who sentenced Bernard to die had publicly called for him to be spared. + +Bernard spent more than half of his life in jail, and by 40 had matured greatly from the 18-year-old in central Texas. During his time in prison, he was not cited for a single infraction. He was a prolific reader and writer of letters. He took up crocheting and guitar. And he dedicated himself to counseling at-risk youth. + +Rob Owen, Bernardโ€™s attorney for more than 20 years, says that was all consistent with the man heโ€™d watched grow up. โ€œHe was not some monster when he was 18,โ€ Owen says. โ€œHe made a horrible, terrible decision when he was young, but I saw the same good person in that young man that I saw up until the day they killed him.โ€ + +**With weeks left** in Bernardโ€™s life, he and his attorneys met on Nov. 30 via video with representatives from the Office of the Pardon Attorney. One juror from the original trial joined, saying he no longer believed Bernard should be executed. Bernard himself addressed the DOJ officials. โ€œTodd and Stacie are always on my mind,โ€ he said during the meeting. โ€œI ask myself how \[I can\] honor them โ€ฆ I do not deserve to die, and in living, I hope to continue to show this panel, the Bagley family, and the country, through my actions, the many reasons I deserve to live.โ€ + +The officeโ€™s recommendations to the president are not made public, but days after the meeting, several sources told Bernardโ€™s team that the attorney had recommended Trump commute the death sentence to life in prison. โ€œIt gave us hope,โ€ says Stacey Brownstein, who served as an investigator on Bernardโ€™s defense. โ€œIt felt for a moment that things were breaking our way.โ€ + +In another administration, that might have been enough to save Bernardโ€™s life. But in Trumpโ€™s world, it barely registered. + +While Bernardโ€™s team was frantically trying to keep its client alive, the outgoing president was preparing to extend clemency to a host of convicted criminals who also happened to be his friends. The list included Paul Manafort, chairman of his 2016 campaign, who was serving a 47-month sentence for eight felony convictions, including multiple counts of tax cheating and bank fraud, as well as for storing assets in an undisclosed foreign bank account.ย  + +Trump was also lining up a full pardon for Roger Stone, the adviser whoโ€™d tried to thwart the federal investigation into ties between Trump and Russia. His seven felony convictions included witness tampering and lying to Congress. Trump had already commuted the sentence, but decided only a full pardon would do for a decades-old friend. A full pardon was also in the works for Charles Kushner โ€” father of Trumpโ€™s son-in-law Jared โ€” who in 2005 had been sentenced to two years after being convicted of 16 counts of tax evasion. (The case also saw Kushner attempt to blackmail his own brother-in-law, whoโ€™d been a cooperating witness against him, with a sex tape.) Kushner was already long done serving his sentence, but Trump deemed an additional pardon necessary.ย  + +Those were the type of connections that earned one clemency under Trump, and Bernardโ€™s team never gave up on trying to forge them.ย  + +In late November, it looked like the team might finally have an in to Trumpworld via Kim Kardashian. They reached her through a string of celebrity and activist connections, and, after she was briefed on his case, she called Bernard. She was moved by his story, and the two became fast friends in the final weeks of his life.ย  + +![](https://www.rollingstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/GettyImages-1149699031.jpg?w=1024) + +Kim Kardashian speaks alongside Donald Trump in the East Room of the White House in 2019 to tout his now criminal-justice reform act. SAUL LOEB/AFP/Getty Images + +Kardashian had also been friendly with Trump for years. She met with him in the Oval Office in 2018 to push for clemency for Alice Johnson, a mother of five whoโ€™d served 21 years in prison for her involvement with a cocaine-trafficking ring; Trump commuted Johnsonโ€™s life sentence a month later. Kardashian also joined Trump at the White House in June 2019 to tout his new criminal-justice reform bill. + +But by the time Kardashian had taken up Bernardโ€™s cause, Trump was refusing to speak with her. After Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 election, she tweeted out three blue hearts and a picture of the president-elect celebrating with his VP, Kamala Harris. For Trump, the slight was unforgivable. He told his staff that he didnโ€™t want to hear โ€œa wordโ€ from Kardashian about anything, according to sources with knowledge of the matter. Referring to her MAGA-fied then-husband, Kanye West, he added, โ€œTheyโ€™re gonna have to get Kanye to call me instead.โ€ + +With Kardashian on the outs with Trump, Bernardโ€™s team worked every other personal connection it could think of. In late November, Owen and fellow Bernard counsel John Carpenter wrote a letter urging Trump to have mercy on their client. They tapped Ken Starr, the famous anti-Bill Clinton investigator and veteran of Trumpโ€™s first impeachment defense team, to hand-deliver it to the president. The letter was laden with appeals to Trumpโ€™s ego โ€” and framed sparing Bernard as a way to one-up Biden: โ€œExercising your awesome power to spare Brandonโ€™s life would be an act of supreme leadership in correcting the excesses of the past (like the Biden-backed 1994 crime bill) and continuing to restore the faith of all Americans, particularly Black people, in the fairness of the criminal justice system.โ€ + +Still, the letter had no discernible effect. For weeks, Bernardโ€™s friends and advocates also reached out to members of Trumpโ€™s inner circle, including Ivanka, Jared, and White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, to no avail. And so, in Bernardโ€™s final days, Owen and Carpenter turned to another member of Trumpโ€™s first impeachment defense team: celebrity lawyer Alan Dershowitz. + +The day before Bernardโ€™s scheduled execution, Dershowitz was patched through to the president โ€œpretty quickly,โ€ he says. Over the course of 20 minutes, he enlightened Trump on the details of Bernardโ€™s case and his stellar record while in prison. The president was unmoved, countering that the Bagley parents had described โ€œhorribleโ€ details of the crime to him. When Dershowitz emphasized that Bernard did not fire the shots that killed Todd and Stacie, Trump replied, โ€œHe was a part of it.โ€ Ultimately, Trump told Dershowitz, the crime was too terrible to forgive. + +The night after Trumpโ€™s call with Dershowitz, following a last meal of Pizza Hut and a dose of Benadryl to help his claustrophobia, Bernard was led to the execution chamber and strapped into a chair. In his last words, he addressed the families of the victims directly: โ€œIโ€™m sorry. Thatโ€™s the only words that I can say that completely capture how I feel now and how I felt that day.โ€ย  + +> These inmates were being exterminated,โ€ says an attorney for Lisa Montgomery. โ€œWhen you see the government flex its power that way โ€” with the cold, callous machinery of death โ€” itโ€™s truly appalling. + +**While the executions went forward,** Trump was engaged in an all-out attack on American democracy. Desperate to cling to power after losing to Joe Biden, he spent the final weeks of 2020 on doomed but damaging attempts to convince judges, lawmakers, voters, and Vice President Mike Pence that they had the authority to nullify the will of the voters and keep him in office. Barr, however, had a different project: After it was clear Trump would be leaving office in January, the attorney general scheduled a string of back-to-back executions, to squeeze in as many as possible before Biden moved into the White House. The final three would happen during a four-day stretch of the administrationโ€™s penultimate week, and 52-year-old Lisa Montgomery โ€” the only woman on death row โ€” would be the first to die. + +Montgomeryโ€™s story is a repository of all the worst this world has to offer. Her crime was unconscionable: In 2004, when Montgomery was 36, she arranged to meet with Bobbie Joe Stennett, a 24-year-old dog breeder who was eight months pregnant. Montgomery had said she wanted to buy a puppy, but instead strangled and stabbed Stennett, and then cut the fetus out of the dead womanโ€™s womb, later attempting to pass the child off as her own. + +![](https://www.rollingstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lisa-montgomery.jpg?w=559) + +Lisa Montgomery, who suffered decades of sexual assault, beatings, and gang rape before strangling a pregnant woman to death, was executed in January. ATTORNEYS FOR LISA MONTGOMERY + +It was a deranged act committed by a woman whoโ€™d suffered severe childhood trauma. Before Montgomeryโ€™s execution, her half sister, Diane Mattingly, wrote a letter to Trump describing the horrors both had endured growing up. By age 11, Montgomery was being raped on a weekly basis by her stepfather, who also beat her to the point of causing traumatic brain injuries. Later, he would invite his friends over to rape her, and her mother would allow men to sexually assault her daughter, too, in exchange for services such as free plumbing. By 18, Montgomery was married to her stepbrother, who also beat and raped her. She had four children over the next four years before, Mattingly says, her mother pressured her into getting sterilized. + +Montgomery was diagnosed with, among other conditions, post-traumatic stress disorder and dissociative disorder. MRIs revealed significant brain damage from the childhood beatings. According to psychiatrist and University of Pennsylvania professor Ruben Gur, the injuries and trauma had left Montgomery with a brain that was โ€œneither structurally nor functionally sound.โ€ + +โ€œLisa Montgomeryโ€™s life was filled with torture, terror, failure, and betrayal,โ€ Montgomeryโ€™s lawyers wrote in their executive-clemency petition to Trump. โ€œYou are faced with the awesome responsibility of deciding whether Lisa Montgomery lives or dies โ€ฆ You alone write the ending to this story โ€” does it end with more pain? Or does it end with hope, mercy, and understanding?โ€ + +Itโ€™s unclear whether Trump ever read the petition or Mattinglyโ€™s letter. On a Wednesday in January 2021, Montgomeryโ€™s legal team was preparing for a video meeting with Justice Department attorneys. They had no expectation that the president would grant them leniency, but they were hoping at least to delay the execution, scheduled for Jan. 13, just long enough to give the Biden administration time to stop it. + +Then, approximately half an hour before Montgomeryโ€™s team was scheduled to log on to the call, one of her attorneys, Kelley Henry, noticed something on her TV, which was tuned to CNN. โ€œThere were people scaling the U.S. Capitol,โ€ Henry recalls. + +It was Jan. 6. Trump had just spoken outside the White House, telling supporters the election had been rigged and to โ€œfight like hell.โ€ Before he finished speaking, the Capitol was under attack.ย  + +Amy Harwell, another Montgomery-team attorney, recalls frantically telling Henry to shut off CNN so they could prepare for a presentation they hoped would save their clientโ€™s life. But while the meeting went ahead as planned, Harwell says it was clear that Montgomery was doomed. โ€œWe knew at that moment that there was absolutely no way \[Trump\] was going to pay attention to this now,โ€ Harwell says. โ€œHe just killed several people in Washington, D.C. Do we really think heโ€™s going to spare our client?โ€ + +Harwell was correct. There would be no delay for Montgomery, nor any mercy for a woman whoโ€™d known little of it throughout her life. On the night of Jan. 12, the Supreme Court, a third of which had been appointed by Trump, lifted a last-minute stay of execution. โ€œWeโ€™ve lost. Theyโ€™re coming for you,โ€ Harwell remembers telling her client. To this day, Harwell is not convinced that Montgomery fully understood that she was about to die.ย  + +Inside the chamber, she was asked if she had any last words. Montgomery had only one: โ€œNo.โ€ + +โ€œThese inmates were being exterminated by the Trump administration, which was being assisted by the courts in doing it,โ€ Henry says. โ€œIf thereโ€™s a word to describe it, Iโ€™d say it was lawless. The administration just didnโ€™t care. And when you see the government flex its power that way โ€” with a cold, callous machinery of death that occurred in Lisaโ€™s case โ€” itโ€™s truly appalling.โ€ย  + +Montgomery died at 1:31 a.m. on Jan. 13. That same afternoon, the House voted to impeach Trump on a count of incitement of insurrection; his critics still maintain heโ€™s guilty of treason. + +Within 72 hours of Montgomeryโ€™s death, two more inmates โ€” Corey Johnson and Dustin John Higgs โ€” were put to death. Within eight days of her death, Trump would be out of office, but not before issuing a last wave of pardons to the well-connected. Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon had been charged with defrauding donors out of more than $1 million in a phony scheme to build Trumpโ€™s border wall. Hours before leaving office, in one of his final acts as president, Trump granted him a full pardon. + +There were still 44 prisoners on federal death row when Trumpโ€™s term ended. More would almost certainly be dead if Trump had won a second. The only reason the administration stopped at 13, Barr says, is that they ran out of time.ย  + +Should he be the GOPโ€™s candidate for 2024 and ascend to the White House again, Trump will surely pick up where he left off with federal executions. But even if heโ€™s not victorious, a new wave could begin. Floridaโ€™s governor and Trumpโ€™s leading rival for the nomination, Ron DeSantis, oversaw two executions during Trumpโ€™s time in the White House. Nationwide, as of Jan. 10, states have executed 28 more prisoners since the former president left office. + +Even the Biden administration hasnโ€™t ruled out the use of this punishment completely. In January, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that his office would seek the federal death penalty for [convicted domestic terrorist Sayfullo Saipov](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64421338), who steered a truck onto a bike path and pedestrian walkway in New York City on Halloween in 2017, killing eight people and injuring 12 more. The decision puts Garland on the rare same page as Trump, who, after Saipov was charged, tweeted with characteristic subtlety, โ€œShould get death penalty!โ€ + +Itโ€™s a dubious moral hedge from the administration that instituted a formal moratorium on federal executions last July in order to review policy changes that had paved the way for Trumpโ€™s 13 executions โ€” including to assess, as Garland put it, โ€œthe risk of pain and suffering associated with the use of Pentobarbital.โ€ + +That belated review is likely no comfort to Brandon Bernardโ€™s aunt, who was consumed with the same question at his execution. Gripping the arm of Bernardโ€™s friend Chuck Formosa during the lethal injection, Rahsha Williams asked what was happening to her nephewโ€™s body and whether the convulsions they were witnessing were common. โ€œIt was all I could do to let her know he was not suffering,โ€ Formosa recalls. โ€œWhen you actually see it, when you actually witness an execution โ€ฆ Iโ€™ll say this: People like to think itโ€™s civilized or that thereโ€™s something humane about the way we do it in this country. It is anything but.ย Itโ€™s barbaric.โ€ + +  +  + +--- +`$= dv.el('center', 'Source: ' + dv.current().Link + ', ' + dv.current().Date.toLocaleString("fr-FR"))` \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/00.03 News/The Instagram capital of the world is a terrible place to be.md b/00.03 News/The Instagram capital of the world is a terrible place to be.md index b5e87027..b5044b30 100644 --- a/00.03 News/The Instagram capital of the world is a terrible place to be.md +++ b/00.03 News/The Instagram capital of the world is a terrible place to be.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- -Tag: ["Society", "๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น", "๐ŸŒ", "SocialMedia"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿคต๐Ÿป", "๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น", "๐ŸŒ", "๐Ÿคณ"] Date: 2022-10-09 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/The Jail Money Trap.md b/00.03 News/The Jail Money Trap.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..43b8e0a2 --- /dev/null +++ b/00.03 News/The Jail Money Trap.md @@ -0,0 +1,153 @@ +--- + +Tag: ["๐ŸŽญ", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ", "๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ", "๐Ÿ—ฝ"] +Date: 2022-12-19 +DocType: "WebClipping" +Hierarchy: +TimeStamp: 2022-12-19 +Link: https://www.curbed.com/2021/12/museum-of-chinese-in-america-protests.html +location: +CollapseMetaTable: true + +--- + +Parent:: [[@News|News]] +Read:: [[2022-12-21]] + +--- + +  + +```button +name Save +type command +action Save current file +id Save +``` +^button-TheJailMoneyTrapNSave + +  + +# The Jail Money Trap + +## The Museum of Chinese in America was desperate to buy its building.

Weeks before the first case of COVID-19 was found in New York, [local shopkeepers](https://www.curbed.com/2021/05/wing-on-wo-and-co-chinatown-nyc.html) saw their traffic plummet โ€” a disturbing indication of what was to come for a neighborhood where many survive on the slimmest of margins. As the city went into lockdown, businesses shuttered. Unemployment skyrocketed. And soon residents were dealing with other anxieties as the news filled with stories of Asian New Yorkers who were attacked on the street, incidents fueled in no small part by a president who delighted in blaming China for the pandemic. + +Somewhat perversely, though, it has been a good time for the bottom line at what has become one of Chinatownโ€™s most contentious institutions: the Museum of Chinese in America. MOCA closed to the public when New York locked down โ€” and by the time it reopened its doors this past summer, the usually cash-strapped nonprofit was in its best financial shape in years. In early 2020, it got hundreds of thousands of dollars in recovery aid after its archives suffered a fire. Then came millions in grants from the Ford Foundation and philanthropist MacKenzie Scott. The biggest windfall of all, though, has been a $35 million grant from the city. The money will allow MOCA to buy the building it has been renting for more than a decade, construct a theater there, and expand its operations. With free admission and a new show called [โ€œResponses: Asian American Voices Resisting the Tide of Racismโ€](https://www.mocanyc.org/event/responses/) that includes murals depicting events like the murder of Vincent Chin, it might have seemed ready to meet the political moment, too. + +But as MOCA president Nancy Yao Maasbach prepared to welcome journalists and luminaries to the showโ€™s opening in July, about two dozen protesters gathered on the sidewalk. Fresh-faced high-school students and Chinese grandmas with sensible haircuts hoisted signs that read MUSEUM OF CORRUPT ASIANS and THE MUSEUM OF CORPORATE ARTWASHING and HEY MOCA! RETURN THE $35 MILLION TO THE COMMUNITY! โ€œ*Sanqian wubai wan,*โ€ they yelled โ€” 35 million. + +Maasbach, dressed in a silky butter-yellow gown and cream-colored heels, exited the building and faced the protesters. โ€œThatโ€™s not true, and thatโ€™s not true, nothingโ€™s true,โ€ Maasbach said, jabbing her finger at the signs. โ€œThey didnโ€™t give us any money!โ€ She turned to a cluster of middle-aged immigrant women. โ€œTheyโ€™re using you,โ€ she said to them in Mandarin before walking back indoors. + +โ€œThirty-five million dollars says thatโ€™s bullshit!โ€ a protester yelled. โ€œMOCA thinks weโ€™re stupid!โ€ said another. For two hours, the protesters, led by a coalition that includes the workers-rights group Chinese Staff and Workersโ€™ Association, booed anyone who stepped through the museumโ€™s doors. โ€œBoycott MOCA!โ€ they chanted. โ€œProtect Chinatown!โ€ + +It was the most visible protest against the museum to that point, but it wasnโ€™t the first โ€” because that *sanqian wubai wan* came with associations some see as unforgivable. MOCA got the money as a giveback from the city, triggered by the de Blasio administrationโ€™s plan to close the jail complex on [Rikers Island](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/09/hard-to-find-the-words-to-describe-how-bad-it-is-on-rikers.html) and construct four new jails in different boroughs. In Chinatown, that will mean demolishing the Manhattan Detention Complex on White Street โ€” the jail known as the Tombs โ€” and replacing those buildings with a nearly 300-foot-tall tower. The city unveiled the details in 2018; while the move to close Rikers was widely applauded, de Blasioโ€™s plan to replace it with what critics have called [โ€œskyscraper jailsโ€](https://www.vox.com/identities/2019/10/18/20921389/rikers-island-new-york-jail-close-new-jails) was supported by some and fiercely opposed by others. Residents complained that the mayorโ€™s office had rammed the plan through; prison abolitionists argued new jails would perpetuate a broken system. The city calls the money it gave MOCA a [โ€œcommunity investment,](http://council.nyc.gov/data/wp-content/uploads/sites/73/2019/10/BBJ_Points_of_Agreement_Rikers.pdf)โ€ one of many given out in an attempt to make an unpopular plan more palatable; in Chinatown, a park and a senior-housing complex got some money too. But the $35 million earmarked for MOCA is by far the most promised to a single institution, not just in Chinatown but anywhere in the boroughs. + +Rumors had swirled for months that MOCA would benefit from the new jail. When the news about the givebacks came out in October 2019, it went off like a bomb. To many in Chinatownโ€™s activist class, the announcement had the sting of a betrayal. One artistsโ€™ collective called for its peers โ€œto stop working with and supporting the institution.โ€ [Corky Lee](https://www.vulture.com/article/corky-lee-photographer-obituary.html), a well-known local activist and photographer who died this year from COVID, said both MOCA and local councilmember Margaret Chin had [sold out](https://www.facebook.com/corky.lee.1/posts/5132605816753373) Chinatown. The museum was forced to cancel a long-planned group show after almost 20 participants [withdrew](https://conversations.e-flux.com/t/open-letter-to-the-museum-of-chinese-in-america-from-godzilla-collective/10263) [their work](https://hyperallergic.com/661875/artists-request-museum-of-chinese-in-america-remove-their-work-from-its-collection/), citing museum leadershipโ€™s โ€œcomplicity โ€ฆ with the jail plan.โ€ Then, right before the July opening of โ€œResponses,โ€ more artists pulled out of that show for the same reason. + +Maasbach insists that MOCA has always been against the jail plan. She says she did not ask for money connected to the jail, though some of her critics point to audio of a city meeting that seems to suggest otherwise. Despite the boycotts and protests, it took Maasbach and the rest of MOCAโ€™s leadership more than a year after the cityโ€™s 2019 announcement to issue a public statement unequivocally against the jail. Meanwhile, the backlash widened; protesters started taking aim at the fact that MOCAโ€™s board co-chair is Jonathan Chu, a commercial developer and the scion of a Chinatown real-estate dynasty that some see as hastening gentrification. + +Perhaps itโ€™s all just a PR disaster, a simple failure on the museumโ€™s part to communicate what it was doing and why. MOCA still has plenty of supporters, including some of the best-known Chinese Americans in New York and beyond โ€” people like the playwright David Henry Hwang. โ€œTo focus the anger and the calls for justice on an organization which is actually doing good and necessary work, I do think itโ€™s the wrong target,โ€ said Hwang, who once served on the museumโ€™s board. โ€œWe suffer from invisibility. MOCA goes away, weโ€™re just more invisible.โ€ + +Nonetheless, MOCA has become a proxy for debates about who gets to decide what happens to Chinatown. It has come to represent something bigger than itself to both its critics and its boosters โ€” an embodiment of how the idea of Chinese Americanness has grown and splintered over time. Once a scrappy organization dedicated to telling the stories of a working-class community, the museum is now fighting accusations that it has turned its back on those same people. Maasbach insists the city funding will allow MOCA to serve Chinatown better, with more room for community programming. The conflict raises the question: Whose needs and identity are highlighted when we talk about โ€œChinese in America,โ€ and to whom do we owe our political commitments? + +Today, when Maasbach talks about the jail โ€” and she makes it clear she hates talking about the jail โ€” she has the bewildered, slightly bitter air of someone who thought she would be the hero of the story only to find herself cast as the villain. The protestersโ€™ narrative threatens to have real consequences: Former MOCA staff are criticizing her leadership. Relationships with artists have become strained. People she has never met are saying they want her fired. โ€œI sit there,โ€ Maasbach said, โ€œand Iโ€™m like, *How did this crazy thing happen?*โ€ + +Nancy Yao Maasbach at MOCAโ€™s reopening in July. Photo: Mary Altaffer Photo/AP + +**Housed in two stories** of a Centre Street building full of reclaimed wood and exposed brick, MOCA is neither an art museum nor strictly a history museum. Its permanent exhibit, โ€œWith a Single Step,โ€ is a visual sweep from the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act to civil-rights-era activism, while recent temporary shows have explored the knotty question of identity beyond Chinese American History 101 โ€” such as the [2019 exhibit](https://www.mocanyc.org/event/comp-2-the-moon-represents-my-heart/) co-curated by *New Yorker* writer Hua Hsu on music in Chinese immigrant communities. The museumโ€™s best shows always have a surprising element: intricate paper sculptures made by Chinese asylum seekers while in detention, a listening station playing a โ€™60s-era rocksteady track sung in Mandarin. + +Originally known as the Chinatown History Project, the museum was founded in 1980 by Jack Tchen, a young historian, and Charlie Lai, a community activist. The two had met a few years earlier at Basement Workshop, a freewheeling arts and organizing hub that was then on Lafayette Street, where young activists were attempting to define what an oppositional Asian American identity could look like. They found a neighborhood in flux: The old-timers who knew Chinatown as a bachelor society were dying off, while thousands of immigrants were arriving every year, ushered in by the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act. + +Lai would later [describe](https://march.rutgers.edu/the-museum-of-chinese-in-america-continuity-and-change/) their project as โ€œa bunch of young kids trying to do documentation on people who donโ€™t feel like they have anything to add. Like my motherโ€™s perspective: โ€˜Weโ€™re all just poor working-class folks that have nothing to contribute, and nothing in my life is worthy enough. You should talk to somebody else, the suits or whatever.โ€™ โ€ Basement Workshop would soon crumble under sectarian infighting โ€” not an uncommon fate in the new left. But Tchen, Lai, and their friends kept rifling through dumpsters, gathering the detritus of peopleโ€™s lives and storing scavenged items in friendsโ€™ apartments. They also started collecting oral histories of sometimes skeptical locals. When the group showed its first exhibit in the neighborhood โ€” a study of Chinese hand laundries called โ€œEight Pound Livelihoodโ€ โ€” Tchen later recalled, โ€œPeople started coming up to us saying, โ€˜This is my story.โ€™ โ€ + +Over the next three decades, the organization evolved, moving first from an office on East Broadway to 70 Mulberry Street and then, in 2009, to its current location. The name changed from the Chinatown History Project to the Chinatown History Museum and, finally, to the Museum of Chinese in America. Its ambitions shifted too: It set its sights on becoming a national museum. Cao O, a nonprofit leader who was on MOCAโ€™s board from 1995 to 2007, recalled that wealthier donors would later ask him why the museum was so focused on the struggles of Chinese Americans instead of their triumphs. Eventually, O said, โ€œthe programming needed to change,โ€ and it did โ€” a museum that had devoted shows to laundrymen and garment workers began to celebrate Chinese American fashion designers as well. Fundraising dinners moved from local restaurants to Cipriani. The museumโ€™s board filled up with high-powered Chinese American CEOs and financiers who had only loose connections to Chinatown, if any. + +As MOCA changed, [Chinatown changed too](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2015/09/how-has-chinatown-stayed-chinatown.html). I saw some of those shifts firsthand during my brief time as a housing organizer in the neighborhood with a group called CAAAV, where I worked until 2012. To casual observers, Chinatown looked the same as it always had: full of Chinese people. But every week seemed to bring something new โ€” a hotel where there was once a Chinese-language theater, a bar serving $16 cocktails next to a shop serving $6 bowls of noodles, a grocery store demolished to make way for multimillion-dollar condos. Nearly all the garment factories were gone, the chaos of 9/11 effectively [killing off](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/sep/05/new-york-chinatown-11-september-covid-19-crisis) an industry already in decline and leaving an economic crater that tourism couldnโ€™t fill. My days were spent meeting with residents whose landlords had made the easy calculation that evicting them could mean flipping their apartment to higher-paying tenants. I had come to Chinatown with some romantic notion of finding a past I could link myself to. But for the people I worked with, it was something more quotidian, more fragile: their home. + +At times, Chinatownโ€™s own have been the ones pushing the idea of a sleeker, more upscale neighborhood. This includes Jonathan Chu, a MOCA board member since 2014 and the Harvard-educated third generation of a notorious Chinatown real-estate family: His immigrant grandfather, Joseph Chu, was once [reportedly](https://www.nytimes.com/1986/06/01/business/mining-chinatown-s-mountain-of-gold.html) the biggest landlord in the neighborhood, while his father, Alexander Chu, is both a commercial landlord and the chairman of Eastbank. Jonathan is probably best known for spearheading the 2017 opening of the luxury hotel 50 Bowery on the former site of Silver Palace, a unionized dim sum restaurant that had closed years before. His grandfather had talked about wanting to turn the site into a hotel โ€” and bemoaned the tenantsโ€™ long leases โ€” as early as the โ€™80s; Jonathan [called](https://www.thelodownny.com/leslog/2015/11/chinatowns-chu-family-goes-public-with-50-bowery-hotel-plans.html) the hotelโ€™s opening โ€œthe realization of a multi-generational vision.โ€ In 2019, he became the co-chair of MOCAโ€™s board. + +Protesters outside MOCA on October 24. Photo: Jutharat Pinyodoonyachet + +**Maasbach and I** met for our first interview in MOCAโ€™s courtyardlike atrium in early October. โ€œThis is the hardest job Iโ€™ve ever had, times a hundred,โ€ she said. The board recruited her to lead the museum in 2015. Before she accepted, she met with the artist and architect [Maya Lin](https://www.mayalinstudio.com/), a longtime board member who also designed MOCAโ€™s building, with whom Maasbach said she had a โ€œdesperate conversationโ€ about the realities of New York City real estate. โ€œTwo words: permanent home,โ€ Maasbach recalled Lin telling her. โ€œWe canโ€™t keep paying this rent. Itโ€™s only going to go up.โ€ (Lin did not respond to requests for comment.) MOCAโ€™s annual rent was around $600,000 โ€” about 20 percent of its budget โ€” and the lease would be up at the end of 2021. Maasbach said solving this problem became her โ€œmandateโ€ from the board. (An acrostic of her first name hanging on her office wall at MOCA reads NURTURE AMBITIOUS NIMBLE CAPABLE YOLO. โ€œThe *C* should stand for โ€˜crazy,โ€™ โ€ she joked.) + +It was hard to see how MOCA would ever be able to buy its building. The museum has sometimes struggled to meet payroll, and in 2017, it ran out of money; Maasbach says she and her husband loaned the museum $100,000 from a personal line of credit to cover operating expenses that year. Starting in 2018, with the goal of buying the building in mind, Maasbach applied yearly for capital funds from the cityโ€™s Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA), the agency that helps bankroll many of the cityโ€™s museums. She desperately wanted MOCA to be what the city labels a cultural-institutions group, or CIG, a designation that would open the door to more city funding. To even start that process, however, MOCA would likely need to turn its building over to the city, which has historically required CIG buildings to be publicly owned. In February 2018, Maasbach submitted a request for $40 million through the DCLA process; that July, MOCA was awarded $2.3 million from the City Council and the Manhattan borough presidentโ€™s office, and nothing else. + +Enter the jail plan. For years, Rikers has been synonymous with brutality, and many of the cityโ€™s leaders and criminal-justice advocates became convinced the complex couldnโ€™t be reformed. In 2017, an independent commission [recommended](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/02/nyregion/rikers-island-jail-closure-plan.html) that Rikers be closed and replaced by smaller jails in each of the boroughs, a proposal Mayor de Blasio initially resisted. Then, in February 2018, he [announced](https://www1.nyc.gov/office-of-the-mayor/news/094-18/mayor-de-blasio-city-council-reach-agreement-replace-rikers-island-jails-with/#/0) the city would โ€œmove ahead with creating a borough-based jail system thatโ€™s smaller, safer, and fairer.โ€ Later that year, Councilmember Margaret Chin convened a meeting with Chinatown leaders, including Jan Lee, a longtime neighborhood activist and third-generation owner of a Mott Street tenement building. Lee said Chinโ€™s message was blunt: *This is happening.* They felt bulldozed. + +Nothing brings Chinatown together quite like the sense that the cityโ€™s leaders are governing by diktat. Lee and then-aspiring politico Christopher Marte quickly formed a coalition called Neighbors United Below Canal. With outlooks ranging from NIMBY to abolitionist, the people who joined the coalition had one thing in common: They did not want a bigger jail in Chinatown. Meanwhile, some local nonprofits started meeting to discuss the neighborhoodโ€™s needs in case the plan became an inevitability. Maasbach told me she attended one of those meetings before bowing out. She wanted to stay focused on her applications to the DCLA. โ€œIโ€™ve been exposed a lot to the importance of reputational risk,โ€ she said. โ€œIโ€™m hypersensitive to that stuff.โ€ + +That didnโ€™t stop her from bringing up MOCAโ€™s funding as soon as she got the chance to speak about the jail plan in public. At a public hearing on the plan held by the mayorโ€™s office in September 2018, Maasbach started by waving her hands at the anti-jail activists in the crowd. โ€œI just want to say I love whatโ€™s going on over here,โ€ she said, โ€œand Iโ€™m totally in line with everything theyโ€™ve been saying.โ€ She added that the city had not done enough to engage Chinatownโ€™s leaders and closed with a blunt comparison. โ€œHow could New York City move forward to expand MDC in a historic district without the consultation of institutions serving the history of that area? Youโ€™re spending $300 million to expand a detention complex in Chinatown,โ€ she said. โ€œWe ask for just some money to make a permanent home for the museum, and we were given zero from NYC Department of Cultural Affairs โ€” zero.โ€ + +That December, de Blasio, Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, and Councilmember Chin held a more exclusive meeting for neighborhood power brokers. They made it clear they were there to hear not only peopleโ€™s concerns about jail construction but also suggestions on Chinatown projects to fund in connection with that plan. โ€œItโ€™s important to give back in that process and to help the community in a variety of ways, to help community organizations, to address longstanding community needs, to have real tangible and verifiable community benefits, and we certainly want to speak to that today,โ€ de Blasio said. Among the roughly two dozen invitees were Maasbach, Jonathan and Alexander Chu, and Jan Lee, who decided to tape the meeting. โ€œI took out my recorder, and I put it in front of me on the table,โ€ he told me. + +When Chin called on Maasbach, the MOCA president launched into a familiar spiel: Why wasnโ€™t MOCA a CIG like the Studio Museum in Harlem, El Museo del Barrio, and the Queens Museum? โ€œEvery day we knock on the door to raise 3 million pennies,โ€ she said. โ€œIt is impossible.โ€ + +Brewer interrupted: โ€œDonโ€™t you need money to buy your building, too?โ€ + +โ€œWe do,โ€ Maasbach said, โ€œand speaking of the building, we would like to buy +our building.โ€ + +โ€œHow much do you need?โ€ Brewer asked. + +โ€œWe would like from the city $32 million, thank you very much,โ€ Maasbach said to laughter. But some of the other people around the table were shocked to hear what could be interpreted as a direct quid pro quo. + +โ€œMy jaw dropped. I was like, *Oh my God, she doesnโ€™t know how to play this game,*โ€ said a longtime neighborhood advocate who was at the meeting. + +โ€œNancy was the only person in the room who actually had the audacity, without knowing the detriment to the community, without knowing some of the downfalls and the negativity that comes with building jails, to just come straight out and say, โ€˜Iโ€™m not even ready to listen to that. Iโ€™m just going to be the first one out of the gate to ask you for money,โ€™โ€‰โ€ Lee said. After the meeting, he promptly uploaded the recording heโ€™d made to his SoundCloud and shared it on Twitter. It quietly began circulating among local anti-jail activists. + +Ten months later, in October 2019, the City Council put out a press release about what it called a โ€œmassive decarceration effortโ€: It had approved the plan to replace Rikers with four new high-rise jails at a projected cost of $8.7 billion. That came with $137 million in neighborhood investments โ€” including $35 million for MOCA. + +Photo: Jutharat Pinyodoonyachet + +**Maasbach told me** she had no idea that the meeting about the jail was only about the jail. She just wanted to talk about arts funding. โ€œI never created an application around the jail to get something โ€” never ever,โ€ she said. Technically, that $35 million did come through the DCLA โ€” the same agency Maasbach had been petitioning without much success. But in an email to *New York,* the DCLA was unequivocal: MOCA got that money as part of โ€œa set of commitments shaped by community engagement and made as part of the Cityโ€™s broader effort to close Rikers Island.โ€ No jail plan, no *sanqian wubai wan.* + +Investments like this almost never happen unless a councilmember champions them. Chin acknowledged as much when we spoke, telling me she โ€œfought very hardโ€ to include funding for MOCA. โ€œFor us, as Chinese Americans, having our own museum means a great deal,โ€ she said. Chin has been on the other side of the table as well. When the city announced the last Chinatown jail expansion, in 1982, the future councilmember was among the thousands who marched against it. Those protests didnโ€™t stop construction, but they did lead to some concessions from the city, including an affordable-housing complex for seniors. To Chin, the lesson was clear: โ€œYou seize the opportunity when you get a land-use project.โ€ + +Not all of her contemporaries see it that way. โ€œSo theyโ€™re saying, โ€˜In order to survive, we have to take the money,โ€™ right?โ€ said the artist Arlan Huang. โ€œAnd Iโ€™m saying, โ€˜You do not take the money under any circumstances, even if you have to fail.โ€™ โ€ + +Huang, in his 70s and bespectacled, has a decades-long relationship with MOCA. He has volunteered there. He has shown his work there. Before the news about the jail came out, he was planning to participate in a long-gestating group show on the influential Asian American artist collective Godzilla, which Huang joined in the โ€™90s. None of that seems to have made him more sympathetic to Maasbachโ€™s reasoning; when Jan Lee played him the recording of the meeting in which Maasbach asked for funding, he was stunned. In an open letter he [posted](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5df7b9e3264d2f2dac3c6394/t/5f98c046e5da215b5527f0ce/1603846215026/Working+Thoughts+on+The+Museum+of+Chinese+in+America+and+Chinatown+-+revised1021.pdf) online last year, Huang wondered if MOCA was becoming โ€œthe community anchor institution for mass incarceration.โ€ + +โ€œTo see what the museum has become, and where it was in those early days, is so painful to me,โ€ said the artist Tomie Arai, another Godzilla member and a co-founder of the activist-minded collective [Chinatown Art Brigade](https://www.chinatownartbrigade.org/). She has shown at the museum multiple times, starting in the โ€™80s; for a few years in the late โ€™90s, she was even the president of the board. Drinking tea from a Chinatown History Museum mug in her Flower District studio, the soft-spoken artist seemed wistful about the way MOCAโ€™s founders had once aimed to collaborate with the museumโ€™s subjects. โ€œThis dream of building a very different model for a cultural institution has disappeared and been replaced by โ€ฆ a vision or mission to be the largest Asian American national institution in the country,โ€ she said. + +Arai and the Chinatown Art Brigade were some of the first to protest MOCA in 2019. Huang said he began to see the planned Godzilla exhibition as โ€œartwashing.โ€ Both artists had already decided to pull their work from that show when the inconceivable happened: On the eve of Lunar New Year 2020, the building on Mulberry Street that housed MOCAโ€™s archives caught fire. Several people were injured in the blaze, which was caused by electrical failure. It seemed as if more than 85,000 items painstakingly gathered over four decades โ€” the collective memory of the neighborhood, including local familiesโ€™ old documents and artifacts โ€” might have been destroyed. + +Suddenly, MOCA was making headlines and being called a โ€œbeloved Chinatown museumโ€ in the New York [*Times*](https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/24/nyregion/chinatown-museum-fire.html)*.* Concern and goodwill poured forth. For MOCAโ€™s critics, it was a dรฉtente; even Arai and Huang showed up, donning white hazmat suits to help recover items from the destroyed building. โ€œWe were all heartbroken,โ€ Arai said. Nearly 2,000 people donated $465,000 in recovery aid. + +In the weeks that followed โ€” and as New York went into COVID lockdown โ€” it became clear that [MOCAโ€™s archives](https://www.mocanyc.org/collections/) had largely [survived](https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/museum-of-chinese-in-america-recovery-1234592430/) the fire. Not only that but the flood of donations and press coverage started a chain reaction. Maasbach said that she received a sympathetic call from Wendi Deng (yes, that Wendi Deng) and that, shortly after, Deng came onboard as the co-chair of MOCAโ€™s $128 million capital campaign. Then, in October 2020, the museum received a $3 million infusion from the Ford Foundation to be doled out over four years. In June 2021, MacKenzie Scott announced a $5 million gift to the museum, a donation that Maasbach told [Gothamist](https://gothamist.com/arts-entertainment/small-part-mackenzie-scotts-274-billion-donation-blitz-helps-chinatown-museums-rocky-future) was โ€œthe best professional news Iโ€™ve received in my life.โ€ + +Behind the scenes, though, the goodwill was dissipating. As New Yorkโ€™s streets filled with protests against racial inequity and police brutality, MOCA held a series of forums on allyship with Black Lives Matter and issued statements of support for criminal-justice reform, at one point sending out an email featuring a portrait of George Floyd painted by MOCA curator Herb Tam. To Arai, all this smacked of opportunism and hypocrisy. She and Huang said that when the Godzilla artists asked that Maasbach or anyone else at MOCA publicly address its relationship to the jail plan, they were stonewalled. (MOCA countered that Maasbach and other members of leadership had met with Arai and other Godzilla artists about the jail issue on multiple occasions starting in 2019, both in person and over Zoom.) Soon, so many artists pulled out of the Godzilla show that the museum decided to cancel it. + +As if that werenโ€™t enough, MOCA soon found itself caught up in another hot-button issue when, at the end of February 2021, the owners of the Elizabeth Street dim sum parlor and local institution [Jing Fong](https://www.grubstreet.com/2021/03/workers-rally-to-save-nycs-jing-fong.html) announced it would be closing, putting more than 100 people out of work. Jing Fong was the last unionized restaurant in Chinatown, and the union soon found someone to blame for its closure: the restaurantโ€™s landlord, MOCAโ€™s board co-chair Jonathan Chu. Chu declined to sit for an interview for this story, sending a written statement reiterating his position that Jing Fongโ€™s owners were the ones who decided to close the restaurant. (The owners themselves were noncommittal on this point.) Whatever the truth, the closure brought even more protesters into the fold โ€” soon, former Jing Fong workers and groups like the Chinese Staff and Workersโ€™ Association were demonstrating in front of the museum too, in part as a way to protest Chu. + +The conflict has split along sometimes surprising lines. Old resentments have reemerged, then mutated. One former Basement Workshop member, Rocky Chin (no relation to Margaret Chin), has emerged as MOCAโ€™s fiercest defender; he compared the current fight to the ones that broke up the Workshop and equates defending MOCA with defending the idea that people like him matter. โ€œAs a Chinese American, MOCA reflects the aspiration of having an organization with staff that will have the ability to tell our stories,โ€ he said. โ€œI donโ€™t have too much hope that big institutions are going to do that.โ€ + +He and former MOCA board member Cao O released a public statement in support of the museum this past summer. It contained signatures from prominent Chinese Americans including actor Tzi Ma, Asian Americanโ€“studies scholars Russell Leong and Mae Ngai, and longtime labor activist Alex Hing. โ€œI signed on because I know about these self-righteous, deluded people who are now attacking MOCA,โ€ Hing told me. Despite his pro-labor stance, Hing has clashed with CSWA and its director, Wing Lam, in the past. (As for what Lam thinks, I canโ€™t tell you. When I reached out to him for this story, I was told by a CSWA staffer that Lam refused to speak with me unless I โ€œrenouncedโ€ my former employer CAAAVโ€™s position on a rezoning plan from 2008. Later, they denied it had anything to do with CAAAV. Either way, Lam didnโ€™t want to talk to me.) + +The questions posed by MOCAโ€™s critics โ€” about whom the museum serves and whom it represents โ€” are, at their heart, questions about whom Chinatown is for. Will it continue to be a neighborhood for working-class immigrants, or will it become a kind of ethnic theme park? By the same token, is it possible for a small museum to avoid compromise in a real-estate market like New Yorkโ€™s? Why does it take a deeply unpopular jail for the city to invest resources in a community whose needs are often overlooked? Tam sees the conflict through the lens of survival. โ€œNot everything about what our leadership does, and how they do it, is something Iโ€™m always going to agree with,โ€ he said. โ€œBut I trust them in the sense that theyโ€™re looking out for: Will MOCA be around five, ten, 15 years from now?โ€ He has also come to realize that the issue had moved beyond the jail. โ€œFor some people, it was more proof that MOCA was disconnected from the neighborhood.โ€ + +Itโ€™s hard to see how MOCA will bridge this divide, especially because itโ€™s impossible for the museum to do what some protesters want: redistribute the $35 million to those in Chinatown who need it more โ€” a community giveback of its own. These are what the city calls capital funds, usable only for buying MOCAโ€™s building, renovating it, or buying major equipment. Maasbach emphasized, and the DCLA confirmed, that the $35 million was not sitting in the museumโ€™s bank account. โ€œWe never see the money,โ€ she said. โ€œThereโ€™s no, like, โ€˜Hereโ€™s the jail money. This is your check from the jail bucket.โ€™ โ€ + +Since the jail plan was confirmed two years ago, Rikers has become even more chaotic and deadly. The pandemic has exacerbated its misery and dysfunction; this year, more than a dozen people held there died, many by suicide. Even so, with a new mayor about to step into office, thereโ€™s some uncertainty about its closure. Chinatown will get a new councilmember, too: Chin is term-limited out, and Christopher Marte โ€” the activist who helped form the coalition against the jail expansion with Jan Lee โ€” was just elected to take her place. Meanwhile, demonstrators are still showing up outside MOCA nearly every day. + +Toward the end of October, I visited the museum as a group of former Jing Fong workers and members of the CSWA-backed 318 Restaurant Workers Union picketed outside, demanding Chu do something to reopen the shuttered dim sum hall. They held signs that were tattered and creased with use. One of the protesters was Liang Chen, a former Jing Fong waiter who immigrated to New York City from southern China in 2004. He noted that the job had allowed him to support his family on his wages alone, while a lot of other restaurant workers arenโ€™t even paid minimum wage. โ€œWeโ€™re going to continue to protest,โ€ he said in Mandarin. โ€œWhat are our options? We donโ€™t have jobs.โ€ + +Life had become a bit desperate for Chen. His unemployment benefits ended in September. To Chen, it was selfish of MOCA to accept the money from the jail project. โ€œSo many small businesses have died. Circumstances in Chinatown have gotten so bad,โ€ he said. โ€œAll of these resources are going to big institutions. Thereโ€™s nothing for poorer people.โ€ Earlier this month, [Jing Fong reopened](https://ny.eater.com/2021/12/8/22816514/jing-fong-dim-sum-restaurant-opening-chinatown-nyc) in a smaller space across the street from MOCA, and Chen and several other unionized workers were rehired. He planned to continue to protest in front of the museum in his free time on behalf of those who were still out of a job. โ€œI canโ€™t just think about myself,โ€ he said. + +Maasbach bristles when I describe MOCA as an โ€œinstitution.โ€ In her mind, the word invites misleading comparisons to museums like the Whitney, with its billionaire donors and endowments and outsize prestige. โ€œItโ€™s interesting to me because in this world of institutions and artwashing and gentrification, museums are a beautiful target, right?

But I try not to think of it like that.โ€ Photo-Illustration: Vulture. Photo: Jack Robinson/Hulton Archive/Getty Images + +The story of [the Who](https://www.vulture.com/2019/12/interview-the-who-a-quick-one-rock-and-roll-circus-performance.html) has always been the story of society. The volatile intensity of Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon reflected their audience โ€” it was *always* about their audience โ€” as if they were holding up a cracked mirror to their own experiences with angst, isolation, and rage. While Townshend was the arbiter of the mod subculture with his lyrics and [appetite for instrument destruction](https://www.vulture.com/2018/10/roger-daltrey-never-liked-pete-townshends-guitar-smashing.html), Daltrey with his โ€œprimal roar,โ€ as he likes to call it, was the master interpreter to rally their generation. Itโ€™s simple, really: You didnโ€™t turn on the Who if you wanted to dance or seduce. They were there when it was time to fight. + +I found myself connecting with Daltrey, as sprightly as ever, earlier this month as he prepares for a few [solo shows](https://www.thewho.com/). โ€œIโ€™ll talk about anything, whatever you like,โ€ he tells me. โ€œBut you might be offended, I warn you now. Letโ€™s clear that up to start with because I ainโ€™t going to go with the other crap. Iโ€™ve lived and Iโ€™ve seen too much.โ€ He was nothing but affable, although he did take a pause when I equated the Who to being a legacy act. โ€œWell,โ€ he offered, โ€œitโ€™s one up from being some of the things we were called in the early days.โ€ (We also found ourselves on a tangent about the joys of *Seinfeld* after I mentioned my weekend plans.) The band already has much of their 2023 mapped out with *The Who With Orchestra Live at Wembley* set for a March release as well as a summer tour throughout the United Kingdom. If Daltrey gets his way, 2024 would be a big Who year, too. + +I would say โ€œNaked Eye.โ€ The song, where itโ€™s recorded in live shows, was never very good up until last year when we changed the rhythm of the bridge for the instrumental piece between verses and brought it back into rhythm. It kind of completed the song. It took a long time to get together from 1968 to 2022, but we did it in the end. It has some great lyrics with a really nice guitar progression, but then when it got into the instrumental, the rhythm skipped. It used to always throw us and I thought it was so bloody hokey. I never could quite get into it. So last year, we resuscitated the song, and I said to Pete, โ€œCanโ€™t we just make this in sync with the rest of it, so itโ€™s a groove or something?โ€ We put another simple little off-beat in there, and it brought it all into time, and the songโ€™s great now. It really comes alive. + +Mind you, these are Townshend songs. None of them were easy to master. Thatโ€™s what I love about Peteโ€™s writing. He has the sensibility and the intellect to write from a very different perspective than most music writers. Of course, his song structures are incredible. Itโ€™s not run-of-the-mill rock and roll โ€” or rock. Itโ€™s very individual music, and itโ€™s not for everybody. Iโ€™ve always understood that idea, and it was never ever going to be the most commercial. But in some ways it carries the most weight and carries the most importance. + +It would be easy to say *Tommy*. It really was a collection of songs that โ€ฆ well, there was no fixed idea when we started recording *Tommy.* It was one song that had potential to be a bigger picture or a collection of the songs that painted a bigger picture. That was transformative in a way. But it was very kind of cobbled together. In those days, you had to either have a single album โ€” two 20-minute sides โ€” or you went into a double album and then you had to have two albums of 20-minute-plus sides. Thatโ€™s 80 minutes of music. Of course, we had to piece together bits of instrumental to put in, like โ€œUndertureโ€ and โ€œSparks,โ€ those kinds of afterthoughts. Obviously, when it hit the shelves, *Tommy* was called a rock opera and all those things that went with it. If youโ€™ve ever studied the lyrics of most of the grand operas, thereโ€™s hardly any there. Theyโ€™re beautiful melodies. *Tommy,* in a way, is one of the best operas thatโ€™s ever been written. + +However, if I could only choose one album, itโ€™s *Quadrophenia.* Because it was one consistent idea from Pete. I donโ€™t know whether the narrative is that clear, but I donโ€™t know whether it matters on the album. Musically, I think itโ€™s fabulous. I donโ€™t know what people may not understand about our rock operas. I really donโ€™t care. It might be pie in the sky to a lot of people, but like I said, when you look at the lyrics of some of the grand operas, thereโ€™s very thin narrative lines. I canโ€™t wish to make any judgment in that sense. When youโ€™re inside, itโ€™s very hard to look on from the outside. + +With the maturity I have now and looking back on life, Iโ€™m more connected to our songs than ever. The only song I get bored with playing, because itโ€™s immovable from its arrangement, is โ€œWonโ€™t Get Fooled Again.โ€ I mean, I love the song and I donโ€™t mind singing it. But for some reason it never quite takes off from anywhere different than it was from the time I recorded it. I donโ€™t know why. Itโ€™s the only song I have that problem with. Because with other songs, some nights they breeze out into some other areas and itโ€™s wonderful. But โ€œWonโ€™t Get Fooled Againโ€ seems to be stuck in this box. Weโ€™ve done it acoustically, which certainly gets out of the box, but people seem to want the full blast โ€” the whole bit. It was groundbreaking at the time. But it just seems to be set in aspic. + +I now see songs differently, and I explore them more. Iโ€™ve just been playing around with โ€œBehind Blue Eyes,โ€ for instance. Iโ€™ve been playing around on my little traveling acoustic guitar, and I discovered the beauty of the chords when theyโ€™re played really slow โ€” and then I sing it quietly and explore the words even more. Because once you get into the rhythm, youโ€™re limited in a certain way. But if you just pick it, the melody of the chords is absolutely beautiful on an acoustic guitar. Once it gets into a set rhythm, or if you do it like a piece of classical music, it becomes something else again. You have more chances to explore the lyrics and elongate words. Itโ€™s quite interesting. I just canโ€™t play around too much, because then the song will go on for ten minutes and people will fall asleep. + +Oh, thatโ€™s a hard one. I think *Odds & Sods.* This was an album of bits and pieces that were left over from *Whoโ€™s Next*, and a few things from the prior recordings sessions on earlier albums. It was put out as a filler album while we were making *Quadrophenia*. Itโ€™s a fabulous album. I really like it, but I donโ€™t think *Odds & Sods* ever achieved any commercial success. Musically, it holds together great. + +At the time, I put the album cover together. I had this idea. Because we were always legendary for our fighting between each other, I actually bought everybody a helmet to wear on that cover together. I put everybodyโ€™s name on the helmet, and I didnโ€™t realize that Peteโ€™s head was miles bigger than anybody elseโ€™s. Him and I had to trade helmets. \[*Laughs*.\] It works. It was a great cover โ€” a straight photograph. When I first saw it, I thought, โ€œHey, it doesnโ€™t quite make it. Letโ€™s try and liven it up.โ€ I always wanted to do the reflection of the audience and the fact that thereโ€™s something about Peteโ€™s lyrics with the audience. The cover really reflects that because the audience is looking through the band, coming *out* of the band, on the real cover. Suddenly we may have saved a life or two at times with those helmets. + +I really like the next album, *Face Dances*. โ€œYou Better You Betโ€ was a great song that gave us a boost when we needed it most. There are some interesting songs on that album, but I still think it was overproduced. We were struggling with the loss of Keith, of course, and the studio was a very different place. We were working with an American producer, Bill Szymczyk, who was great at his job. But I think, in hindsight, he was possibly the wrong producer for us at that time. We were never going to be an Atlantic Records band. + +Iโ€™ve always had to fight to get what I want, and how this played out is a great example. When it was insisted that we change drummers, I said that even though Kenney Jones is a fabulous drummer and a fabulous bloke, he was the wrong drummer for the Who, as Keith Moon wouldโ€™ve been the wrong drummer for the Faces. Tell me, can you imagine it? I love Kenney. Heโ€™s one of my best mates in the Faces. It wasnโ€™t an easy thing to do to get rid of him. It was a very difficult thing personally and emotionally because I think the world of him. + +Youโ€™ve got to remember, a singer stands out in front and never sees the band. Maybe in a few glimpses during solos, thatโ€™s about it. But you feel them. You feel the rhythms; you feel the energy. It was going back to the days before Keith joined the band and how it didnโ€™t work for me. When Keith joined the band, it was *my* band โ€” I put the others together, and we were looking for a drummer. When Keith joined, it was finding the key to the engine. We started it out and off it went. That had gone. Kenney was very good. He kept climbing, but it was dull compared to Keith. But there again, Keith in the Faces wouldโ€™ve been absolute chaos. Oh God, I loved him. + +There are some good contenders from our early years. Iโ€™d say โ€œA Legal Matterโ€ because the song is about me. I was getting divorced at the time. It wouldโ€™ve been more personal if I sang it. I never even thought about what songs Pete and I would sing. If he wanted a song, I would go, โ€œGreat, you sing it, go*.โ€* I wasnโ€™t going to interfere with the ego. \[*Laughs*.\] Iโ€™d wind him up a bit. We never discussed it and I never challenged it. I mean, just after we made the film soundtrack for *Tommy*, I chose the songs for *The Who By Numbers* album. Iโ€™d insisted that he sing โ€œHowever Much I Boozeโ€ because of its own personal nature. Quite a few songs Iโ€™ve always preferred that he sings the lead. Like โ€œEminence Front,โ€ for instance โ€” I did a vocal on it, but I listened to his vocals, and it just sounded better in my ears. I prefer his vocals to mine any day of the week. He prefers mine, which is kind of weird. Heโ€™s got a thinner voice. + +I donโ€™t think thereโ€™s one performance I can place above the others. *The Concert for New York City* was the most emotional show Iโ€™ve ever played in my life. It was very difficult. Looking out at that audience of people who had a hellish time for weeks on end. There were children in the audience of some of the people that have been killed in 9/11. It was incredibly poignant. At the time, I actually didnโ€™t think we played very well. It was only afterwards that everybody was raving about the Who, and I donโ€™t know, I felt we just did what we do. We did discuss what we should play, but we couldnโ€™t agree. Pete said, โ€œLetโ€™s just do what we do, which is play our songs,โ€ and we picked four. It was so strong. + +*The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus* was a fun one. It was a weird day, really. We turned up in the morning at this studio near the area in London where we grew up. I remember thinking, *What was all this about? Jethro Tull is here too?* They wanted to do this rock-and-roll-circus theme. I knew the Stones โ€” weโ€™d been around them for a long time. But I was mostly friends with Brian Jones, and John Lennon was there with Yoko Ono. Brian was in a terrible state. He was one step forward and three steps backward. He was not good at all. I remember we were given a slot of ten minutes, so we thought of doing the โ€œA Quick Oneโ€ mini-opera. Letโ€™s do something different. We played it and it was only one take. There were big, long gaps between every band. I was stuck in a dressing room for hours, and I got bored on my own. I found that I was really upset by Brian in that state, and it put it lot of things into perspective for my future. He died not long after. I wasnโ€™t on the same drugs as everybody else at that time. I was dealing with being in a band with three complete addicts, and it wasnโ€™t easy, Iโ€™ve got to tell you. I just got fed up with being around it. I didnโ€™t want to be around it. + +โ€œWho Are You.โ€ Mainly from the video we did with him for the song. We were obviously having a lot of trouble with Keith at the time when we made that album. He wasnโ€™t in the best of shape. He was indulging in quite a lot of naughties. It was a difficult time, but when we came together to do that video to promote the album, Keith joined in on the backing vocals and he was hysterical. Thereโ€™s something about Keith that he โ€ฆ no matter how naughty he was, youโ€™d have to love him. Youโ€™d just have to love him. He was a rascal. He used to rope his drum kit up. In the โ€™60s, when he first joined us, he would bring a length of rope and tie them all together because he would just go crazy. Then, once we started using backing tracks and the headphones, he had to tape them to his head because it could fly off. + +I just finished a script, and Iโ€™m hoping to do my biopic of Keith within the next couple of years. Iโ€™m very pleased with the script. I want people to get an understanding of him and his life, and the complete genius he was. He had so much talent, that boy, but he became out of control for a lot of reasons. Mostly for lack of discipline. But once the drugs kick in, usually that disappears, doesnโ€™t it? Iโ€™ve got an actor in mind whoโ€™s a role model. He might be too old, but then again, Keith looked 50 when he died. He was 32, but he looked 54. I think the actor is about 40 now. I donโ€™t want to jinx it and say his name. But thereโ€™s an actor who Iโ€™ve seen and when I look at him I go, โ€œGod, itโ€™s Moon.โ€ Itโ€™s all to do with the eyes. The eyes are all important. You virtually wouldnโ€™t need to say any dialogue because you could read it in his eyes. I mean, thatโ€™s a bit much, but you know what I mean. You can read so much in the face of Keith. He had such an incredible vibrancy. I got involved when Mike Myers wanted to play him. We were trying to get the film off the ground. I think Mike, when he was younger, wouldโ€™ve made a fabulous Keith. Itโ€™s a shame it never happened. Iโ€™m driven by this project. It came to me in a dream 30 years ago. + +It was after the period where we recorded *Tommy*. I think *Tommy* was always better live than it was on the record. I suppose I found the dimension of my voice recording *Tommy*, but I never really learned how to use it until we got it on stage. My voice can go from really incredibly gentle and quiet to a primal roar. Itโ€™s incredibly loud. In those days it was probably over a four-octave range. I was very blessed. But I had no confidence in my singing, because Keith used to tell me what a crap singer I was. It can kind of knock your confidence. Itโ€™s just that โ€” four alpha males. Also, for instance, when I recorded โ€œLove, Reign Oโ€™er Me,โ€ Pete wrote that as a quiet love song. But when I heard it I thought, *No, this is primal*. I did it my way and had the confidence to do so. + +I would say the last one we recorded, *Who*. We found our way around it. It challenged me because I liked the songs but I didnโ€™t think they were groundbreaking. There was something good in all of them. I think I found a way to present them and I really pushed the boat out, vocally, on that album. Youโ€™d have to hear all of the demos โ€” I donโ€™t think theyโ€™ve been released yet, but they will. Youโ€™d have to hear the difference between A and B and then you could see how I got around them. I think I got under the skin of the songs. A lot of fans donโ€™t like the new songs. I mean, it provides a toilet break. But then I remember back in the days of *Whoโ€™s Next*, and how people used to go for a toilet break at โ€œBehind Blue Eyes.โ€ Times change. People get used to it, their tastes change and their favorites change and then itโ€™s all where it is now. When theyโ€™re presented with something new, it challenges them. They go, *Well, I might go out for a drink.* + +I donโ€™t think Woodstock as an event was overrated, but as a concert, it was totally overrated. As an event it deserves all the accolades it gets. Woodstock was the first time the American government really had to sit up and start to take notice of this huge army of young people that were really against the war in Vietnam. Youโ€™ve got to remember the timing. For me, the stars of Woodstock were the audience and the bands were all crap. \[*Laughs*.\] It was just a fantastic event and it made the powers that be, whoever they are โ€” will we ever know? โ€” sit up and take notice. This was becoming a movement that was going to become unstoppable. Very quickly, within five or so years, that war was over. It still went on too long, but there it goes. Wars are quite stupid. They always end up with a deal. + +We got along great with all of the musicians. It was party time. But it was uncomfortable. It was horrible, muddy, and shitty, and there wasnโ€™t a good sound from the stage. My main memory of the bands was that was the first time I heard Creedence Clearwater Revival with John Fogerty. I was backstage, but boy did they sound good. Fogerty was extraordinary. Heโ€™s a great guy. He still can sing like that. + +Survival. I survived with three bloody addicts in a group. But I try not to think of it like that. Iโ€™ve had a privileged life. I know that. Iโ€™ve enjoyed every minute of everything Iโ€™ve ever done. I like to take and accept challenges when theyโ€™re presented, if I think I can do something to make it work. + +**Clockwise from top:** Townshend and Daltrey, tolerating each other through the decades.

Photo: Michael Putland/Getty ImagesPhoto: Rob Monk/Classic Rock MagazinePhoto: Richard Young/Shutterstock + +The only thing I can quite honestly say is something Iโ€™ve already given a lot of thought. But some context. Iโ€™m at that clinical point in my life where I can go on and potentially not be quite as I was last year, vocally, because thatโ€™s the age I am. Do we attempt to go forward with something at all? I donโ€™t want to go backward, because weโ€™re out now with the orchestra and those orchestrations added to Peteโ€™s music. Itโ€™s how Iโ€™ve always heard Peteโ€™s music in my head. Itโ€™s always been classical โ€” itโ€™s not rock and roll. Iโ€™m 79 in three weeks. Will I still be able to sing *Quadrophenia* next year when Iโ€™m 80? An orchestrated *Quadrophenia* in the format of the band we are now would be phenomenal. Thatโ€™s my ambition. But I canโ€™t tell you I could physically handle it. Itโ€™s a challenging piece of work and it deserves respect. But who knows. Weโ€™ve gone on far longer than I ever thought we would. I didnโ€™t think it would last until the end of the week. + +Age is a weird thing. No one cheats it. Voices especially. Itโ€™s such a tiny piece of our body that does so much work. People have no idea how complex vocal cords are and whatโ€™s involved in what singers do. Like I said, *Quadrophenia* is not the easiest piece of work to sing. Even all those years ago, in our prime, it was never easy. But maybe this is the frame of mind Iโ€™m in now, and with the orchestra, it settles you down in a different way than when youโ€™re just trying to make all the noise from four or five instruments. Iโ€™ll never match the writing of Pete Townshend and I donโ€™t think anyone else ever will. But if I ever do, you can call and congratulate me. + +- [Wynonna Judd on Her Hardest and Most Enthusiastic Music](https://www.vulture.com/2023/01/wynonna-judd-naomi-judd-best-music-superlatives.html) +- [A Lost Interview With David Crosby](https://www.vulture.com/2023/01/david-crosby-superlatives-stills-nash-young.html) +- [Robert Plant on the Finest and Most Questionable Music of His Career](https://www.vulture.com/2023/01/robert-plant-led-zeppelin-best-music-superlatives.html) + +[See All](https://www.vulture.com/tags/superlatives) + +Including recognizable Who tracks such as โ€œLong Live Rockโ€ and โ€œPure and Easy.โ€ Jones was a full-fledged member of the Who for two albums, *Face Dances* and *Itโ€™s Hard.* He candidly spoke to Vulture in 2021 about the โ€œfondness and sadnessโ€ of his time with the band, [which you can read here](https://www.vulture.com/2021/07/interview-kenney-jones-the-who-and-pete-townshend.html).

It was a feminist conviction of a sort. He would argue that, as a dudeโ€”a tall, tan, strapping dudeโ€”he enjoyed a freedom that many women donโ€™t. He could go most places and do most things without feeling threatened. He rode his bike on desolate gravel roads, then parked his truck wherever he liked and slept inside a Spartan trailer he hauled behind him. As a professional bike racer, he lived a remarkably carefree life, close to the best he could have imagined for himself. But he was aware of his male privilege, too. + +Stricklandโ€™s girlfriend, Kaitlin Armstrong, called him one night in the summer of 2020, sobbing and panicked. A belligerent manโ€”maybe intoxicated, maybe suffering some kind of mental breakdown, maybe bothโ€”kept banging on the door of her Austin, Texas, apartment. The guy eventually went away, but the incident terrified her. Another time, she was accosted by an angry man in a grocery store parking lot. Now and then, creeps followed her while she rode on bike paths and made her feel unsafe. Strickland could only imagine how these incidents felt to Armstrong, a lithe yoga instructor with auburn hair that fell across her shoulders. He knew that men commit nearly 80 percent of violent crime in the U.S., and he wondered: Why should a woman spend her life living in fear? Maybe a gun would make Kaitlin feel empowered, more independent, free to live the way she chose. + +Itโ€™s easy to buy a weapon in Texas. So one day around the beginning of 2022, Strickland and Armstrong rode their bikes to McBrideโ€™s, a family owned gun shop near the University of Texas. Armstrong picked out a 9mm SIG Sauer P365 pistol and held it up to get a feel for its weight. Strickland picked out a handgun, too. As a kid, heโ€™d lived in the rural Hill Country west of Austin, an area with a lot of firearms. But his family didnโ€™t own guns, and heโ€™d fired a shotgun maybe once in his life. The motivation to buy one now came from his fascination with machines; he was drawn to the engineering and construction. + +In their relationship, Armstrong, whoโ€™d once worked in finance, managed the money, while Strickland often paid for things. After providing the background information required by Federal law for licensed gun dealers, he asked the salesperson if they needed to have Armstrongโ€™s information, too. โ€œNo,โ€ he was told. โ€œIn the state of Texas, you can gift someone a gun.โ€ + +Strickland paid for the pistols and gave one to Armstrong. They had also acquired two boxes of ammunition, one for practice and another marked โ€œ9mm JAG,โ€ a bullet designed to break apart on impact and cause additional harm inside the bodyโ€”increasing the chances that it would kill its intended target. + +On a warm spring day, thereโ€™s nothing like a swim in Austinโ€™s Deep Eddy pool. An oasis a stoneโ€™s throw from downtownโ€™s skyscrapers, Deep Eddy is the oldest public swimming pool in Texas. Families wade in the shallow end. Twentysomethings lounge in grassy shade while half-dressed old-timers jaw in the open-air bathhouse, a stately building made of limestone cut by WPA workers during the Depression. + +At dusk on Wednesday, May 11, 2022, fireflies flashed as 25-year-oldย [Moriah Wilson](https://www.velonews.com/news/gravel/meet-moriah-wilson-unbound-gravels-dark-horse-contender/)ย immersed herself in the water and swam. That afternoon, Wilson,ย [a professional cyclist](https://www.velonews.com/news/gravel/getting-to-know-mo/), had logged a few hours riding alone on the warm, windblown roads northeast of Austin. Before flying in, sheโ€™d messaged her friend Colin Strickland to say that she was coming to town. Was he up for a ride? + +Strickland and Wilson had a somewhat complicated relationship. They had met about a year earlier, at a four-day gravel race in Idaho. In the fall of 2021, when Strickland was in the middle of a breakup with Armstrong that lasted a few months, he and Wilson connected romantically. They were intimate for about a week while she was visiting Austin. Later, after Strickland resumed his relationship with Armstrong, he and Wilson went back to being friends. + +Strickland knew that his local cycling opportunities couldnโ€™t compare with Vermontโ€™s, where Moriah grew up, or San Franciscoโ€™s, where she cut her teeth as a bike racer. But he wanted to show her why everyone says Austin is such a fun place, and he invited her to go to Deep Eddy for a swim. After a dentist appointment that afternoon, heโ€™d picked up Wilson on his BMW motorcycle around 6 p.m., and theyโ€™d ridden down to the pool. + +Wilson, who friends called Mo, was relatively new to the growing, distinctly American discipline of gravel racing, off-road events where pros start alongside weekend warriors in one big pack. But over the past year, the Dartmouth graduate and former downhill ski racer had dominated nearly every event she entered. Sheโ€™d recently left a job at the bike company Specialized, where she worked as a demand planner, tracking supply chains and forecasting sales. She wanted to race full-time, and she came to Texas to compete in Gravel Locos, a 155-mile race through the rocky hill country northwest of Austin. + +As Wilson climbed from the pool, water dripped off her thick brown hair. She wrapped a towel around her small frame, changed out of her bathing suit top, and put on a sundress. At 35, Strickland was a decade older than Wilson, but he could relate to her path. Ten years prior, heโ€™d made a similar decision to refocus his life, leaving a steady environmental-consulting job and dedicating himself to bike racing. The change had worked out. In 2019, he won the worldโ€™s most prestigious gravel race, Unbound, a 200-mile grind across the Flint Hills of eastern Kansas. Heโ€™d become an icon in the American cycling scene, sponsored by the bike industryโ€™s top brands, including Rapha, Specialized, and Wahoo, along with more mainstream brands like Red Bull. + +Now, by the pool, Strickland and Wilson talked about the social relevance of racing bikes for a living. Wilson was just starting a grand adventure, whereas Strickland saw his pro cycling journey coming to an end. Both of them enjoyed winning bike races, sure, but they were uncertain about the value of what they did. Wilson wondered: How can I inspire people, give back to the sport, and make it more inclusive? Strickland thought about the hundreds of messages heโ€™d received from fans whoโ€™d been captivated by his storyโ€”that heโ€™d forged his own path and stayed true to himself. He told Wilson: You can motivate people to live a healthier life. + +As the sun went down, Wilson and Strickland left Deep Eddy and walked to Pool Burger, a patio bar, where they ordered food and rum cocktails. Stricklandโ€™s phone buzzed. He looked at the screen and saw that Armstrong was calling. He knew she wouldnโ€™t like him hanging out with Wilsonโ€”their brief romantic relationship had been painful for her. Before going out to Deep Eddy, heโ€™d changed Wilsonโ€™s name in his phone. A really dumb idea, he knew, but he didnโ€™t want his girlfriend to see Wilsonโ€™s texts and get upset. At the bar, he didnโ€™t answer Armstrongโ€™s call. Later heโ€™d wish he had. + +After the meal, Wilson climbed onto the back of Stricklandโ€™s motorcycle and he drove her through Austinโ€™s eclectic east side to a garage apartment where she was staying with a friend, Caitlin Cash. Strickland drove up an alley parallel to the street, dropped Wilson off outside the apartment, and continued up the alley toward home. Wilson walked up a wooden staircase leading to the apartmentโ€™s entrance and used a code to unlock the door. Cash was at dinner with friends; an app on her phone notified her that the door had been unlocked. It was 8:36 p.m., dark by then. + +Around the same time, a neighborโ€™s security camera captured footage of a black SUVโ€”with chrome around the windows, bike storage on the back, and a luggage rack on the roofโ€”pulling through a driveway that connects Maple Avenue to the alley. The video shows the SUVโ€™s brake lights come on as it slows next to Cashโ€™s place. + +Cash arrived home around 10 p.m. The apartment was unlocked. Cash entered, looked around, and soon found Wilson on the bathroomโ€™s tile floor, surrounded by a pool of blood. + +Three bullet casings, marked โ€œ9mm JAG,โ€ were on the floor by her body, which was facing up. Wilson had a laceration on her right index finger and another beneath her chin. Sheโ€™d been shot twice in the head; a third bullet had entered her chest and exited her back. Crime scene investigators, who arrived soon after Cash discovered Wilson, would find the third bullet lodged in a cracked tile beneath her. Someone had stood over her and fired toward her heart. + +![Wilson, a 25-year-old pro cyclist, in a field near the coast](https://www.outsideonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/moriah-wilson-coast-landscape_h.jpg?width=500&enable=upscale) + +Wilson, a 25-year-old pro cyclist, was in Austin, Texas, for the Gravel Locos bike race when she was murdered. (Elliot Wilkinson-Ray/Courtesy Skida) + +The murder of Moriah Wilson didnโ€™t become public until Saturday, three days after her death. That afternoon, the Austin Police Departmentโ€”which immediately announced that a violent crime had occurred on Maple Avenue, but at first didnโ€™t disclose the victimโ€™s nameโ€”issued a press release, stating that Wilson had been killed, that the shooting did โ€œnot appear to be a random act,โ€ and that โ€œa person of interestโ€ had been identified. + +In quiet conversations and rapidly multiplying text threads, rumors swirled in the gravel racing scene and Austinโ€™s cycling communityโ€”my community. The emerging theoryโ€”that a love triangle involving Strickland, Armstrong, and Wilson had led to Wilsonโ€™s murderโ€”seemed too salacious to be true. But over the next week, as panicked friends exchanged information, and that information made its way to Austin police detectives, the idea that Armstrong had shot Wilson began, to many, to feel more and more plausible. + +Security video placed the SUVโ€”which appeared to be identical to Armstrongโ€™sโ€”at the site of the murder at almost exactly the time police concluded it took place. Police also recovered the SIG Sauer P365 from Stricklandโ€™s home. The departmentโ€™s ballistics expert test-fired the weapon and used a microscope to compare the markings on the shell casings with those found at the crime scene. In the resulting ballistics report, the expert wrote that the shell casings found at the murder scene were โ€œpositively identifiedโ€ as having been fired by the SIG Sauer P365. (Although some prominent forensic experts haveย [questioned the reliability of this method](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-field-of-firearms-forensics-is-flawed/), itโ€™s routinely used in court cases involving gun violence.) + +There was also a troubling conversation Armstrong allegedly had in January, after sheโ€™d gotten back together with Strickland. She was talking with her friend Jacqueline Chasteen at a party at a cafรฉ called the Meteor in Bentonville, Arkansas. Chasteen was friends with both Armstrong and Strickland, and she felt that Strickland didnโ€™t always treat Armstrong the way she deserved. โ€œDump him!โ€ sheโ€™d told Armstrong more than once. In Bentonville, Armstrong explained to her that she and Strickland were in a better place now. She divulged, however, that the fling with Wilson had really bothered her. Armstrong said she thought Wilson had been aggressive in her pursuit of Strickland, that she wouldnโ€™t leave him alone. Chasteen noticed her friend trembling with emotion. + +โ€œI wanted to kill her,โ€ Armstrong allegedly told Chasteen. A little alarmed, Chasteen expressed to Armstrong that surely she didnโ€™t mean itโ€”that people feel and say all kinds of things when theyโ€™ve been hurt. โ€œNo, I really wanted to kill her,โ€ Armstrong said. + +Armstrong confided to Chasteen that sheโ€™d recently gotten a gun. This, anyway, is what Chasteen thought she heard. It was loud inside the cafรฉ. Theyโ€™d had a couple of drinks. She definitely heard Armstrong say something about a gun, either that sheโ€™d bought one or was about to. + +At the time, the gravity of Armstrongโ€™s remarks didnโ€™t quite register. Everyone knew her as a caring, compassionate person, full of light and talent, not so different from Wilson. Nobody believed Armstrong could ever hurt someone. + +Later, when Chasteenโ€™s husband, Andy, told her about Wilsonโ€™s murder, she nearly broke down in tears. โ€œIt was Kaitlin!โ€ she told him. She phoned in an anonymous tip to the police, which helped them obtain an arrest warrant. + +Initially, the Austin police considered Strickland a suspect in Wilsonโ€™s death. But video evidence showed him riding his motorcycle home along Interstate 35 at 8:48 p.m. Because Strickland was eight miles from the scene of the crime just 12 minutes after dropping Moriah off, the police considered his story credible. Detectives also interviewed Armstrong. On May 12, the day after Wilsonโ€™s murder, they arrested her on an outstanding warrant for a misdemeanor charge dating back to 2018. While she was in custody, they questioned her about the murder. But Armstrong didnโ€™t say much during the interview, and the police let her go. By Tuesday, May 17, six days after Wilsonโ€™s death, they thought they had enough to make an arrest and began looking for her again. By then it was too late. She was gone. + +## Two: Itโ€™s Complicated + +A fit young white woman, Kaitlin Armstrong, 35, stands accused of killing another young white woman, Anna Moriah Wilson, who was one of the best bike racers in America. In an effort to help the public understand how violence like this could occur between these two people, the Austin police have crafted a narrative about the murder. They believe the two women both wanted the same man, a buddy of mine, Colin Strickland. The police have portrayed him as a guy who cheated on his girlfriend with a younger woman. + +To put it mildly, people have been obsessed with this case, which has been reported around the world. A quick Google search turns up tens of thousands of news stories. On TikTok, videos related to Kaitlin Armstrong have gotten 100 million views. Gun violence involving people of color is often diminished as gang- or drug-related. But when violent crime features somebody like Wilson, the world canโ€™t seem to look away. + +If you look atย  discussions of this case happening online, itโ€™s clear that a lot of people want to know whether Strickland was a bad boyfriend. Also, was he such a bad boyfriend that he bears some responsibility for Wilsonโ€™s death? The reasoning is that his behavior led Armstrong into such a jealous rage that she murdered Wilson. People who feel this way have filled Stricklandโ€™s Instagram account with comments like โ€œMURDERERโ€ and โ€œItโ€™s your fault.โ€ At one point, he publicly disclosed that heโ€™s suffered suicidal thoughts in the wake of Wilsonโ€™s murder. โ€œIf he decides to take his own life, thatโ€™s on him,โ€ wrote one commenter. All of Stricklandโ€™s sponsors dropped him. Was that fair? Does he deserve the hate and death threats heโ€™s been getting? + +Iโ€™m not going to answer those questions directly, but I am going to tell you what I learned in the months immediately after the murder about Colin Strickland, this case, and the cycling community in Austin, where Iโ€™ve lived for 25 years. Iโ€™m going to tell you about Armstrong and Wilson, who I didnโ€™t know, but who knew many of my friends. And in the process, Iโ€™ll divulge a lot about their relationship dramaโ€”stuff that happens all the time in communities like ours, that has happened to me and probably to you. + +But I want you to remember something: if this conflict is what led to Wilsonโ€™s death, it did so because of a handgun. Law enforcement officials have not charged Strickland with any crimes related to Wilsonโ€™s murder, but he did make the decision to purchase a gun for Armstrong. Police believe the bullets that killed Wilson were very likely fired from that gun. I know that this fact causes Strickland immense guilt and shame. He wishes he could change it, that he could change everything. He wishes heโ€™d never met Armstrong, wishes heโ€™d never been a bike racer, wishes heโ€™d never met or spoken in private with Wilson. But the unalterable fact is that he did. + +Three bullet casings, marked โ€œ9mm JAG,โ€ were on the floor by her body. + +![Image](https://www.outsideonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/moriah-wilson-black-and-white-2_h.jpg?crop=25:14&width=500&enable=upscale) + +(Kai Caddy) + +Wilson and Strickland first crossed paths at a 2021 bike race series called Rebeccaโ€™s Private Idaho. The events, held every September, are hosted by a cyclist named Rebecca Rusch, and take place in the Rocky Mountains surrounding Ketchum. During the competition, Wilson showed herself to be the strongest female rider, but she finished second after suffering a mechanical problem with her bike and making a few rookie mistakes. Throughout the event she had brief conversations with Strickland, who finished second in the menโ€™s race. After it ended, they met at a local bar. + +There they talked about everything from tactics to training to sponsors, and Strickland later introduced Wilson to many of his backers, including Red Bull, Enve wheels, and the Meteor, a combination bike shop and cafรฉ with locations in Austin and Bentonville. + +Because Strickland and Wilson later had an intimate relationship, itโ€™s tempting to conclude that his support of her from the start was motivated by more than pure altruism. And yes, Strickland considered Wilson attractive, but when he first met her he wasnโ€™t looking for romance. He had a live-in girlfriend; Wilson had a long-term boyfriend. He saw their meeting as the start of a professional friendship. + +Pete Stetina, one of Stricklandโ€™s competitors at Rebeccaโ€™s Private Idaho, says that gravel racing is known for a culture of mutual support, and that his behavior toward Wilson was consistent with that. โ€œColin was super friendly, and we liked to talk about the business of cycling together,โ€ he says. โ€œHe was always an open book in terms of what he was doing. He helped a lot of riders, including Moriah. We were all proud of her. She was homegrown, from our little gravel discipline. We kind of viewed her success as our success.โ€ + +A month later, Strickland and Wilson reconnected at the Big Sugar, a 103-mile gravel race that starts and ends in Bentonville. Strickland finished ninth. Wilson won the womenโ€™s race and finished 12th overall, just five minutes behind Strickland. + +That weekend, Strickland went on a group ride on Bentonvilleโ€™s flowing singletrack. With him were Wilson, Amity Rockwellโ€”another female pro, and someone heโ€™d dated briefly in 2018โ€”as well as two women who helped manage a high school mountain bike league in the area. Everyone in the group was an accomplished rider. + +Though Armstrong had come to Bentonville, too, Strickland didnโ€™t invite her on the ride. Sheโ€™d become a strong road and gravel cyclist, but he figured she wouldnโ€™t have the trail skills to keep up. That happens a lot in the cycling world, especially when rides, like this one was, are partly about business. + +But no one likes to be excluded, and itโ€™s possible the snub led Armstrong to see female pros like Wilson as potential rivals. On the nine-hour drive back to Austin, she and Strickland had a long and intense conversation about their relationship. + +Strickland told her he wasnโ€™t the partner she deserved, and he didnโ€™t know if he ever could be. Ever since theyโ€™d started dating two years before, heโ€™d struggled to fully commit. More than once, heโ€™d thought about breaking up but didnโ€™t follow through. Now he did. By the time they reached his ranch-style home in South Austin, theyโ€™d officially split. + +## Three: What Happened Between Them + +Back in June 2019, when Strickland beat a bunch of Tour de France pros at Unbound and instantly became one of the most prominent athletes in the cycling world, I was stoked. Iโ€™d watched him come of age as a racer in the Austin cycling scene. Weโ€™d chatted on long rides and butted heads in local racesโ€”then shared beers afterward. A couple of times, Strickland sought my advice on some pro cycling dilemma he was facing. Iโ€™d give him my honest opinion, then heโ€™d do the opposite and totally make it work. I respected the hell out of him for that. + +Whether Strickland was winning or struggling, Iโ€™d often send him a text or Instagram message of supportโ€”saying, essentially, โ€œkeep going.โ€ When he won Unbound, I was working for FloSports, a company that live-streams professional cycling. We produced a lot of content with him. He gave us a tour of his gearhead garage and showed me how to repair cycling clothes on his vintage sewing machine. A short film I made chronicled Stricklandโ€™s rise from renegade alleycat racer to the worldโ€™s best gravel cyclist, a rider talented enough on a road bike that he was briefly recruited by an American Tour de France team. + +Until I began reporting this story, I didnโ€™t know a lot about Stricklandโ€™s personal life. But sometimes local gossip about whoโ€™s dating who would involve him. He didnโ€™t sound like someone who chased drama. It was more like he lacked a certain kind of emotional intelligence when it came to relationships. Things that seemed obvious to everyone else didnโ€™t seem to occur to him. + +I donโ€™t think Strickland headed out on his motorcycle on May 11 with the intention of picking up Wilson for a romantic liaison. When he invited her to go swimming, he didnโ€™t consider that a lot of people (including me) might view this decision as inappropriate. Especially if youโ€™re in a committed relationship and your partner doesnโ€™t know what youโ€™re up to. But Colin views the world differently, and most of the time thatโ€™s worked out for him. He gives friends rides on the back of his BMW all the time, male and female, whatโ€™s the big deal? + +He knew that he and Wilson were just friends at that point, and he had no intention of cheating on Armstrong. But he also should have known that lying to Armstrong about connecting with Wilson was a terrible idea. If you find yourself hiding something from your partner, you probably shouldnโ€™t be doing it at all. + +In 2019, back before Strickland had met Armstrong, he often worried that a deep emotional attachment could be counterproductive to his cycling ambitions. But, that year, following his most successful racing season yet, he felt a renewed urgency to meet somebody he could get serious about. He downloaded the dating app Hinge, which touts itself as the anti-Tinder, geared toward singles looking for real connection instead of casual hookups. In October 2019, he found Armstrong. + +They met for a glass of wine at the Meteor on South Congress, then went for a stroll along the boardwalk beside Lady Bird Lake, with the Austin skyline sparkling on the water. Though Strickland saw Armstrong as sweet and intelligent, and certainly thought she was attractive, he didnโ€™t sense an immediate romantic connection. + +Superficially, they seemed quite different. She didnโ€™t share his eclectic interests in music and art. He bought quality goods and repaired his own clothing; she didnโ€™t mind shopping at cheap chain stores. He grew up on an organic farm and thought deeply about food; she didnโ€™t really cook. He went to a hippie-style Waldorf school; she grew up in Livonia, a middle-class suburb of Detroit. + +During the first few months they dated, Strickland considered breaking it off before things got too far along. But Armstrongโ€™s kindness, patience, and positivity kept him from cutting ties. + +Then the pandemic hit. Races were canceled. Travel stopped. Strickland and Armstrong spent more time together and grew as a couple. He introduced her to cycling, and she developed a passion for the sport. Soon she was strong enough to draft him on his long training rides. She also supported him however she could. During the pandemic, for example, Armstrong spent five days on the phone helping Stricklandโ€™s mother access unemployment benefits. This made him realize that a personโ€™s heart was more important than the music they listened to. + +In February 2021, an ice storm struck Texas; the pipes in Armstrongโ€™s apartment burst, making the place uninhabitable. Armstrong stayed with Strickland while repairs were made. When she asked about living together full-time, though, he was hesitant. For half of every year, his mom lived with him in his four-bedroom home. More important, he worried about the emotional dependency that living with Armstrong might create for both of them. + +Around the same time, as Armstrong was working to get her real estate license, she began investing in property. Strickland and Armstrong bought a house together in Lockhart, a small town just south of Austin, and Armstrong bought two homes in South Austin, including one in Stricklandโ€™s neighborhood. They spent hours planning modern renovations to that house, including a custom steel fence Armstrong had installed. Her goal was to move into the place once the renovations were done, in six months or so. But more than a year after Kaitlin had moved in with Strickland, they were still living together. + +Theyโ€™d also formed a business, Wheelhouse Mobile, that involved restoring and selling customized Spartan trailers. Armstrong became an agent for Sothebyโ€™s, where they could sell the trailers for as much as $350,000 each. Seemingly without thinking about it much, almost every element of their lives became intertwined. She managed Wheelhouse Mobile and much of his racing finances, and she had access to most of his phone and computer passwords. + +People liked Strickland and Armstrong, but a lot of their mutual friends told me that their relationship seemed messy. Some of Stricklandโ€™s friends thought Armstrong had become too attached to his public persona. + +One example occurred prior to a group ride in Austin. Stricklandโ€™s clothing sponsor, Rapha, had made him an exclusive cycling kit, with all his sponsorship logos. Heโ€™d ordered one for Armstrong, too, as a gift, but asked her not to wear it at public events. He thought that would be improper, that his sponsors might not like it. The morning of the ride, when Armstrong came out dressed in the kit, Strickland asked her to change. Stung, Armstrong decided to skip the ride entirely. + +On Armstrongโ€™s side of the ledger, friends of both her and Strickland had witnessed him speak rudely to her, to a degree that compelled them to call him on it. One of his bike industry friends, Andy Chasteen, talked about this with me, although somewhat reluctantly. + +โ€œI hate to speak badly about anyone,โ€ he said. But Strickland could be โ€œextremely condescending to people who he knows and heโ€™s close to.โ€ Chasteen had seen it happen with one of Stricklandโ€™s male teammates, too, and even with his own momโ€”probably the person heโ€™s closest to in the world. + +Chris Tolley, a friend of mine who knew both Strickland and Armstrong well, shared his theory about why she put up with his rude behavior. Tolley told me that both he and Armstrong grew up in homes with an alcoholic parent. + +โ€œWhen youโ€™re raised like that,โ€ he said, โ€œyour self-esteem is super lowโ€ and you can be much more forgiving of rocky relationships. Tolley was well aware that Strickland could seem cold, often referring to Armstrong as his โ€œfriendโ€ rather than his girlfriend. Close acquaintances would say something like: Look, if youโ€™re not into her, let her go. You guys are in your mid-thirties, and sheโ€™s ready to settle down. Itโ€™s too late to screw around like this. When Strickland and Armstrong came back from Bentonville in the fall of 2021 and broke up, it seemed likely that both of them would move on. + +Then, in late October, a few days after heโ€™d ended things with Armstrong, Strickland got a message from Wilson. She was coming to Austin to hang out with friends for a week and work remotely. Did he want to get together? + +The emerging theoryโ€”that a love triangle involving Strickland, Armstrong, and Wilson had led to Wilsonโ€™s murderโ€”seemed too salacious to be true. + +![Image](https://www.outsideonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/unbound-bk-2_h.jpg?crop=25:14&width=500&enable=upscale) + +(Brad Kaminski) + +Wilson grew up in East Burke, in Vermontโ€™s Northeast Kingdom, an unspoiled corner of the state bounded by the Connecticut River and the Canadian border. In the 1970s, her father, Eric Wilson, competed on the World Cup circuit as a member of the U.S. Ski Team. After he stopped racing internationally, he got a job as a coach at the Burke Mountain Academy, an elite boarding school established in 1970 with the goal of developing top alpine ski racers. Wilson and her younger brother, Matthew, attended, and both raced downhill. Two-time Olympic gold medalist Mikaela Shiffrin graduated from there in 2013, a year ahead of Wilson. + +Wilson had dreamed of ski racing, but her talents and interests extended beyond the slopes. Her parents had started mountain biking in the 1980s, shortly after the sport emerged, and by age seven Wilson was riding the areaโ€™s abundant network of singletrack. The world-renowned Kingdom Trails circled her hometown like a personal playground. + +In addition to skiing, Wilson lettered in cycling and soccer at Burke, and from an early age she exhibited a perfectionism that sometimes overwhelmed her. In middle school,ย [Wilsonโ€™s parents found her a therapist](https://vtsports.com/who-was-moriah-wilson/)ย to help her manage her determined personality. + +After graduating from Burke in 2014, Wilson took a year off school to focus on skiing, but she was set back when she tore an ACL for the second time. During her recovery from knee surgery, she rode bikes regularly, and for the first time she considered giving up skiing to pursue cycling more seriously. In the short term she kept racing, and she skied for Dartmouth while getting an engineering degree. + +During her senior year, Wilson heard about the emerging discipline of gravel racing. She volunteered at an event in her hometown, Rasputitsa, that involved 100 kilometers of the Northeast Kingdomโ€™s steepest climbs. Watching top pros finish the race, covered in mud and completely cracked, Wilson felt inspired. After graduating in 2019, she told her parents that she wanted to pursue bike racing professionally. They helped her find a coach, Neal Burton, who put her through a series of physical tests. The results showed that her power output was world-class, her potential unlimited. + +That summer, Wilson and her boyfriend at the time, Gunnar Shaw, moved to the Bay Area, where she took a job with Specialized. They bought a van and traveled to events up and down the West Coast. Burton suggested she try cyclocross, which she did in late 2019 at the national championships in Lakewood, Washington. Starting on the back row, she worked her way up to finish 26th. + +When bike racing went on hold during the pandemic, Wilson found that working from home gave her more time to train, and she kept getting better. In November 2020, she headed off to the proving ground for American endurance racers: Moabโ€™s White Rim Trail, a 100-mile loop through the canyons of the Colorado and Green Rivers. Completely self-supported, carrying only a hydration pack and two water bottles, she completed the loop in under seven hours, setting a new fastest known time for women and establishing herself as a rider to watch heading into 2021. + +![](https://www.outsideonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/tetrick-moriah-wilson_s.jpg) + +Alison Tetrick, left, and Wilson after a ride (Photo: Courtesy Alison Tetrick) + +Wilson cherished the friendly and supportive vibe in the U.S. gravel-racing community. In 2021, she competed for Specialized alongside former Unbound winner Alison Tetrick. โ€œMy heart became full watching Moriah realize her strength,โ€ Tetrick told me. Tetrick was drawn to her quiet confidence, still watching and learning. + +Wilson was so driven that Tetrick sometimes had to remind her to enjoy the ride. Once during a training ride near Tetrickโ€™s home in Petaluma, California, she noticed Wilson coughing. โ€œYou gotta take it easy,โ€ she told her. They stopped for food; later, at Tetrickโ€™s home, they sat in the sun and split a beer. Wilson felt a lot better. + +Strickland, for his part, helped Moriah understand the business side of gravel racing. He was both impressive and sweet, and, as Wilson learned when she arrived in Austin in October 2021, newly single. She had recently broken up with Shaw. Itโ€™s no surprise she was interested. + +## Four: Fractures + +The week Wilson first came to Austin, she and Strickland hung out at a Thursday night race called the Driveway Series, a social scene with free beer where a few hundred cyclists get together and hammer laps around a roughly mile-long course. Armstrong was a regular at the event, too; she had friends competing in both the menโ€™s and womenโ€™s races. + +It occurred to Strickland that if Armstrong saw him in public with Wilson, it might cause resentment. After the race, when Wilson and some of her friends went to the Meteorโ€”where Armstrong was also going that nightโ€”Strickland went home. He knew it would be insensitive to be seen by Armstrong on what could be perceived to be a date. + +The two of them were still working on cutting ties. Armstrong was looking for an apartment, which isnโ€™t easy to find in Austin, and was still living at Stricklandโ€™s in the meantime, though she had a separate room. The renovations on her house were coming along, so she could move there soon. Meanwhile, Armtrong told Strickland that she didnโ€™t want to be part of Wheelhouse Mobile anymore. He said he wished she would stay on, but understood. + +During the first weekend of November 2021, Strickland and Wilson drove to West Texas, where they went on three long rides with a small group of Stricklandโ€™s friends. Armstrong, too, decided to get away and clear her head. She booked a trip to a beach town in Mexico. + +Strickland didnโ€™t seem to fully take in how much his fling with Wilson was hurting Armstrong. But Armstrongโ€™s younger sister, Christie, who also lived in Austin, saw the pain. Around the time when Wilson came to Austin, Christie sent a text to Chris Tolley, saying effectively: Who does Colin think he is? Breaking up with Kaitlin and then seeing this girl from Instagram? Tolley understands why Armstrong was upset. โ€œWho wouldnโ€™t be?โ€ he says. โ€œLike, your ex-boyfriend of a week is seeing some cyclist that you have a problem withโ€”in Austin, on your home turf, in front of everybody? Everyone saw it.โ€ + +Not long after, Armstrong got Wilsonโ€™s number and called her, warning her to stay away from Strickland. In the arrest affidavit issued for Armstrong on May 17, 2022, a friend of Wilsonโ€™sโ€”who went by the pseudonym Janeโ€”stated that Armstrong called Wilson so many times that Wilson eventually blocked her number. Whether Armstrongโ€™s attempt to contact Wilson came up between her and Strickland isnโ€™t clear. But in an interview with Austin police detectives after Wilsonโ€™s murder, Strickland said Wilson told him she got a weird call from Armstrong telling her to back off. + +![Colin Strickland in his home in Austin, Texas](https://www.outsideonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/colin-strickland-home_h.jpg?width=500&enable=upscale) + +Colin Strickland in his home in Austin, Texas (Brad Kaminski) + +Over the holidays in late 2021 and into 2022, Strickland and Armstrong started to reconnect. Armstrong didnโ€™t have anywhere to go for Thanksgiving, so he invited her to dinner at a friendโ€™s home. The group liked Armstrong; Stricklandโ€™s friends were always happy to have her around. + +At the end of January, Armstrong and Strickland went back to Bentonville to attend the nearby Cyclocross World Championships. Strickland had some sponsor events to attend; Armstrong, who had reconsidered her involvement with Wheelhouse Mobile, came to participate in a business meeting for the company. She also went because she loves bikes; she was stoked about watching races and seeing friends in the cycling community. + +At the time, Strickland still considered himself single. He was in relationship limbo, trying to figure out if he even wanted a life partner. To friends who asked about Armstrong, Strickland would firmly say, โ€œWe are not together.โ€ + +Wilson was in Bentonville, too. She and Strickland shared a few sponsors, and she found herself at the same events as Strickland and Armstrong. The situation was awkward for everyone. At one point, all three were seated together at the same dinner. Strickland was in the middle, and Armstrong and Wilson were on either side. โ€œWhat, does he have a hand on each thigh?โ€ one of Stricklandโ€™s friends joked. + +Even if they werenโ€™t back together, itโ€™s clear that Armstrong remained emotionally invested in Strickland. It was that weekend, at the Meteor in Bentonville, that she allegedly told her friend Jacqueline that sheโ€™d wanted to kill Wilson. According to police, around the time of the trip, Armstrong went to a shooting range with her sister and practiced with her pistol. + +The events in Arkansas left Wilson feeling confused, and she sent Strickland a long text. โ€œHey! Sooo I would like to talk to you at some point,โ€ she wrote. โ€œThis weekend was strange for me and I just want to know whatโ€™s going on. If you just want to be friends (seems to be the case) then thatโ€™s cool, but Iโ€™d like to talk about it cause honestly my mind has been going circles and I donโ€™t know what to think.โ€ + +Strickland apologized for the confusion but didnโ€™t set the record straight about their status. Over the course of that spring, however, he would resume his relationship with Armstrong. Strickland maintains that he had reset his relationship with Wilson: friends only. + +Through their jobs as professional cyclists, Strickland and Wilson often saw each other at races during the spring season and at post-race parties. In March of 2022, after they finished the Mid South gravel race in Stillwater, Oklahoma, they got together at a bar with a group of riders and industry pros, drinking beer until midnight. At some point, they heard that the raceโ€™s last finishers were coming in. Strickland, Wilson, and Pete Stetina, another pro, hustled over to the finish line to cheer them in. + +Wilson, whoโ€™d placed second at Mid South, would later recount celebrating the moment in her newsletter โ€œMail from Mo!โ€ Writing about the last female finisher, she said: โ€œIt was dark, it was cold, and she had been out there for 14.5 hours! What an incredible display of strength and perseverance. Watching this woman cross the line, with dozens of others cheering her on, was a special moment. This is why we ride. We ride to do hard things and celebrate those things together.โ€ + +To Stetina, the moment felt collegial. โ€œThere wasnโ€™t any romantic vibe, or hand-holding, or anything like that,โ€ he says. โ€œIt was just some friends having drinks.โ€ But other racers who saw them felt differently. โ€œWhoย _wasnโ€™t_ย there?โ€ Tolley says. โ€œKaitlin. Whereโ€™s Colin? Right next to Moriah the whole time.โ€ + +On Wednesday, May 11, the day Wilson was murdered, Strickland and Armstrong started their morning by riding bikes to the Meteor on South Congress. Strickland had made plans to meet his friend Bob Koplos, a fellow gravel racer, for a four-hour training ride. Armstrong accompanied them for the ride, but on a hill just a few miles outside town, she couldnโ€™t hold the pace. Strickland told Koplos they neednโ€™t wait, that she wouldnโ€™t expect them to. They kept going. + +The dynamic of Stricklandโ€™s profession as a bike racer and Armstrongโ€™s passion for the sport sometimes led to arguments. Iโ€™ve been there myself and have had those conversations. Iโ€™ve dated female pros who had a job to do and didnโ€™t really want their boyfriend tagging along. And I married a former bike racer, who I would sometimes ask, โ€œSo, if you fall off the back, do you want me to wait?โ€ I guess itโ€™s all about communication. Still, it sucks to get dropped, and youโ€™ve got to imagine that Armstrong wasnโ€™t happy about coming off the wheels so early in the ride. + +There was another source of stress in Strickland and Armstrongโ€™s relationship: litigation over a commercial property in Lockhart that Strickland had intended to use as a warehouse for Wheelhouse Mobile. He claimed that the realtor had tried to sell it to a friend right before he was set to close. So heโ€™d hired a lawyer in an effort to close the contract and acquire the property. + +After she got back from riding, Armstrong texted Strickland to let him know sheโ€™d gotten an email from the lawyer. Do you want to go over this? She asked. It was later in the day, and Strickland was already at the dentist. He never responded. + +The day before, when Wilson had reached out to let Strickland know she was coming to Austin, he decided to delete the old text thread with her and change her name in his phoneโ€™s contacts. He thought that concealing these things from Armstrong would help him avoid conflict. What he didnโ€™t take into account was that his text messages also showed up on his laptop, which usually sat open on the kitchen table. Armstrong had the password. I have no idea if she saw his exchanges with Wilson, but she could have figured out that he had invited someone to Deep Eddy. + +I want you to remember something: if this conflict is what led to Wilsonโ€™s death, it did so because of a handgun. + +![Image](https://www.outsideonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/moriah-wilson-black-and-white-1_h.jpg?crop=25:14&width=500&enable=upscale) + +(Kai Caddy) + +After Strickland and Wilson left the pool and had dinner, he drove her back to Caitlin Cashโ€™s apartment and said goodbye. The plan was to see each other the next day, at a dinner for riders racing in Gravel Locos. + +On the way home, Strickland sent Armstrong a text. โ€œHey! Are you out?โ€ he wrote. โ€œI went to drop some flowers for Alison at her sonโ€™s house up north and my phone died. Heading home unless you have another food suggestion.โ€ + +โ€œFlowersโ€ was slang for cannabis. This errand was of course a fabrication. Heโ€™d been with Wilson. + +Armstrong got home at around 9:20 p.m., and she found Strickland in his garage, setting up new wheels to use in the race. She was wearing yoga clothes and carried a yoga mat. She didnโ€™t ask him where heโ€™d been, and didnโ€™t mention that sheโ€™d been trying to get in touch. They went inside. He poured himself a glass of rye and sat at the kitchen table. She asked him to pour her one, too. + +Friends of mine familiar with the events of that night told me that Armstrong then approached Strickland and initiated sex, and she was rough and dominating. They were regularly intimate, but this forcefulness was unusual. Strickland didnโ€™t mind it at the time, but later, in the wake of Wilsonโ€™s death and Armstrongโ€™s murder charge, he would feel traumatized by memories of the experience. + +Later that night, in East Austin, communications officer Juan Asencio of the Austin Police Department stood outside Cashโ€™s apartment and held a short press conference. Asencio told reporters that a woman had been found dead inside the apartment, adding: โ€œThereโ€™s some suspicious activity going on in there.โ€ He was unsure whether a murder weapon had been found, but investigators had ruled out suicide. Theyโ€™d also found a Specialized S-Works bikeโ€”Wilsonโ€™s bikeโ€”tossed in a grove of bamboo 68 feet from the apartmentโ€™s entrance. + +## Five: โ€œIโ€™d Like to Talk to Youโ€ + +The next morning, Austin detectives Richard Spitler and Jason Ayers surveilled Stricklandโ€™s home from an unmarked car. They took note of the vehicles in his driveway, including his BMW motorcycle and Armstrongโ€™s black Jeep, noting that its chrome, bike storage, and luggage rack appeared to match the vehicle at the murder scene. + +When they saw Strickland exit the house, they approached and asked if he knew a woman named Anna Wilson. The use of her first name threw him off, and he said he didnโ€™t. When they tried againโ€”this time saying Moriah, her middle nameโ€”Strickland understood immediately and said yes, he knew her. The detectives told Strickland that Wilson had been killed. He was stunned, and the realization that he was one of the last people to see her alive washed over him. He agreed to go downtown and tell detectives everything he knew. + +Lance Tindall, a commercial real estate agent and recreational cyclist, got a text from Strickland at around 8 a.m. that Thursday, the morning after Wilsonโ€™s murder. Tindall had been trying to connect with Strickland to buy some used wheels, and Strickland suggested he come by before ten. Driving up to the house, Tindall noticed a police vehicle and saw Strickland pulling out of the driveway. Strickland saw Tindall, reversed to move in his direction, and rolled down his window. + +โ€œHey, I have to go to the police station,โ€ he said. โ€œOne of my friends died last night, and the two of us had gone swimming.โ€ + +โ€œLike a homicide?โ€ + +โ€œYeah,โ€ Strickland said, looking anguished. โ€œIt sounds like she was murdered.โ€ Strickland told Tindall the wheels were inside and that Armstrong knew he was coming. Shaken, Tindall walked up to the front door, where Armstrong greeted him. They started talking about the murder, and she told him that Moriah Wilson was the victim. + +As Armstrong talked, she began removing some of the extra parts from the wheelset Tindall was buying. She explained to him that Wilson was a phenom whoโ€™d won big races in California, including the Sea Otter mountain bike race in Monterey and the Belgian Waffle Ride, a tough event in San Diego that sheโ€™d taken by an astounding 25 minutes. As Armstrong worked, she looked at Tindall and said, โ€œIs Austin really becoming this sort of city?โ€ + +Confused, Tindall asked, โ€œWhat do you mean?โ€ + +โ€œAre we really this violent of a city?โ€ + +Maybe, Tindall said, noting that homicides had increased across the country, and that yes, as Austin grew, there was bound to be more violent crime. โ€œBut a professional cyclist who just happens to come through town for a day or two gets murdered?โ€ he said. โ€œNo, I donโ€™t think thatโ€™s something thatโ€™s normal for the city of Austin.โ€ + +Then Armstrong asked something that struck Tindall as strange. โ€œIs Cherrywood a bad neighborhood?โ€ + +The murder actually took place in a neighborhood a few blocks south of Cherrywood, in East Austin. The cityโ€™s east side, where neighborhood boundaries can be fuzzy, has historically been home to Autinโ€™s lower-income and minority communities. Though, as people in Austin generally knew, over the past couple of decades it had been heavily gentrified. Tindall said he had friends whoโ€™d lived in the area for decades and never had issues with crime. In fact, he said, a mutual friend of theirs owned a house there. + +โ€œItโ€™s definitely not a neighborhood where there are random acts of violence and murder,โ€ he said. + +Armstrong excused herself to go to the bathroom. She had removed everything but a tire from one wheel. Tindall tried to get it off but couldnโ€™t. Feeling a bit odd about the situation, he waited ten minutes or so for Armstrong to come out. When she emerged, she removed the tire and Tindall left. + +He told police that it would later occur to him: How did Armstrong know the area where Wilson had been murdered? + +He knew that he and Wilson were just friends at that point, and he had no intention of cheating on Armstrong. But he also should have known that lying to Armstrong about connecting with Wilson was a terrible idea. + +![Image](https://www.outsideonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/unbound-bk-3_h.jpg?crop=25:14&width=500&enable=upscale) + +(Brad Kaminski) + +Downtown at police headquarters, detectives led Strickland to a small room with padded walls and said he was free to leave at any time. They talked to him for an hour, and he told them about his relationships with Armstrong and Wilson, and the details of the time heโ€™d spent with Wilson the previous day. Then the detectives excused themselves, leaving Strickland alone for what seemed like an hour and a half. He sat on the floor, tightly wedging his long frame into a corner of the room. He covered his head with his arms and pulled his hat over his face. This emerging nightmare was real. + +When the detectives came back, they told Strickland about the surveillance footage, and how Armstrongโ€™s vehicle appeared to be outside the apartment Wilson had entered around the time she was killed. Strickland was shocked by the potential connection of his girlfriend to Wilsonโ€™s murder. Throughout the interview, and in a second one done on May 17 with Stricklandโ€™s lawyer present, detectives pressed him: Do you think Armstrong is capable of something like this? + +โ€œDo I think Kaitlin could kill somebody?โ€ he said to Spitler. โ€œNo, I donโ€™t. I have no concept of having that much rage and the ability to suspend reality for long enough to do something like that.โ€ + +โ€œHas she mentioned in the past wanting to hurt Mo?โ€ Spitler asked. โ€œDo you think she is capable of hurting Mo?โ€ + +โ€œIf I thought she was physically capable of hurting another human, I would have extricated myself immediately from that situation,โ€ Strickland said. โ€œNot so much for my own personal safety, but my concern for another human.โ€ + +Spitler pressed Strickland on the possibility that Armstrongโ€™s jealousy led to murder. โ€œIโ€™ve given you all the facts I have about anybody doing anything,โ€ he said. + +Later, when Spitler left the room to take a call, Stricklandโ€™s lawyer, Claire Carter, asked: โ€œIs there something you didnโ€™t say last timeโ€”that you donโ€™t feel like you got to say?โ€ + +Exhausted by what he saw as APDโ€™s attempt to get him to implicate Armstrong, Strickland replied bluntly. โ€œI have something to say: โ€˜Fuck you guys for manipulating me.โ€™โ€ + +The day after Wilsonโ€™s murder, as detectives were interviewing Strickland downtown, Austin police officers searched his home, taking his and Armstrongโ€™s pistols along with Armstrongโ€™s phone. Then they arrested Armstrong on a charge that, oddly, had no connection to the murder. + +In March 2018, Armstrong got a botox treatment at a medical spa in South Austin, costing $653. When it came time to pay, according to the misdemeanor arrest warrant, Armstrong pulled out a Mastercard with her name on it, then said she wanted to use a different card that sheโ€™d left in her car. She put the Mastercard on the counter, went to her car, and never came back. She was later charged with theft of service, but sheโ€™d never been arrested on the charge until now, more than four years after the warrant was issued. + +Armstrong was cuffed, taken to police headquarters, and led into an interrogation room by two brawny officers in tactical vests and backward ball caps. She sat in the corner, wearing a sleeveless shirt and her hair in a braid. + +After about 18 minutes, Detective Katy Conner entered the room and uncuffed Armstrong. Conner explained why sheโ€™d been arrested and said that she was going to read Armstrong her rights. โ€œIf youโ€™re reading me my rights, then I should have an attorney?โ€ she asked. She also told Conner that sheโ€™d never heard of this warrant before. At that point, someone knocked on the door. โ€œAre they knocking here?โ€ Armstrong asked. + +Conner got up, opened the door, and spoke to a colleague. โ€œWell, good news,โ€ she told Armstrong when she came back, explaining that there had been a mistake: the warrant wasnโ€™t for her. (As it turned out, itย _was_ย for her, but the Austin police seemed not to know that at the time.) โ€œSo youโ€™re not under arrest, OK?โ€ Conner said. The door to the room was unlocked, but Armstrong appeared baffled and uncertain about her rights, and about whether she could really stand up and leave. + +โ€œThey just came to my house and put me in handcuffs for no reason?โ€ she asked. Conner said there had been โ€œmiscommunication on that.โ€ Without reading Armstrong her rights, she added, โ€œBut I would really like to talk to you.โ€ Then she started asking questions about Armstrongโ€™s whereabouts on the night of Wilsonโ€™s death. + +Armstrong eventually got a lawyer, Rick Cofer, and when he examined the details of this interview later, relying on video and a written transcript, he noticed that Armstrong had asked two more times if she needed to have counsel present. Conner ignored Armstrong and told her that police had obtained footage of her vehicle near the murder scene. Police records of the interview say that Armstrong had nodded in acknowledgement that the vehicle was hers. When Conner told Armstrong that this didnโ€™t look good for her, Armstrong allegedly nodded again, to convey that she understood. + +Cofer disputes this, saying she remained still and silent, and that any head nodding was done only to convey that she was paying attention. + +As the interview went on, Conner told Armstrong that Strickland had been with Wilson the previous evening, adding, โ€œMaybe you were upset and just happened to be in the area.โ€ + +Armstrong replied: โ€œI didnโ€™t have any idea that he saw or even went out with this girl, as of recently.โ€ + +Armstrong asked permission to leave, five times in all. After about ten minutes, Conner opened the door and let her out. + +They helped her find a coach, Neal Burton, who put her through a series of physical tests. The results showed that her power output was world-class, her potential unlimited. + +![Image](https://www.outsideonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/moriah-wilson-black-and-white-3_h.jpg?crop=25:14&width=500&enable=upscale) + +(Kai Caddy) + +When Strickland returned home that evening, Armstrong was there. She seemed deeply shaken, like someone whoโ€™d been sucked into a bizarre, awful tragedy. They were in shock and didnโ€™t speak much at first. Finally, Armstrong told him that the police had searched the house and taken her in for questioning. + +โ€œIโ€™m really scared, what should I do?โ€ she asked. Strickland said he thought that, from a criminal perspective, they didnโ€™t have anything to worry about. They just needed to document where they were and what theyโ€™d been doing, and to write it down before they forgot any details. + +Later they lay in bed, trying without success to fall asleep. โ€œI just miss my mom,โ€ Armstrong said at one point. โ€œI want to go to Michigan. I want to hug my mom.โ€ + +The next morning, Armstrong wanted to talk more with Strickland about what had happened, but she was worried that the police might have bugged the house, so they walked outside and headed to a nearby coffee shop. In the front yard, they found that someone had tipped over Stricklandโ€™s motorcycle, which was parked next to Armstrongโ€™s Jeep. In addition, the top layer of a dry-stacked limestone wall in front of the house had been knocked down and strewn across the sidewalk. + +At the coffee shop, they sat in silence. Eventually, Strickland asked Armstrong to describe where sheโ€™d been and what sheโ€™d done on Wednesday. + +She said sheโ€™d gone to a yoga class, then to a waxing appointment in South Austin. But why, Strickland thought, did the police believe that her vehicle had been in East Austin? His mind raced. He knew Armstrong was into astrology; maybe sheโ€™d gone to see an energy worker on the east side? It seemed possible. Anything seemed more possible than Armstrong killing Wilson. + +After finishing their coffee, Strickland and Armstrong walked back to the house. The police had taken their phones. โ€œWhat should I do? Where do I get a phone?โ€ Armstrong asked Strickland. He suggested she pick up a temporary phone at Walmart. Kaitlin left around 10:30 a.m. Their lawyers had suggested that they separate for a while, so Strickland went to his dadโ€™s house. He wouldnโ€™t see her again. + +## Six: Away + +Not long after Armstrong and Strickland came back from getting coffee on May 13, she drove her Jeep to a CarMax about a mile from Stricklandโ€™s house, on the I-35 frontage road, where she sold it for $12,200. Itโ€™s unclear where she stayed on Friday night, but by Saturday morning she was at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, wearing white pants, a blue jacket, and a black protective face mask as she boarded a plane for New York City. Her flight passed through Houston and landed at LaGuardia. + +Two months earlier, Armstrongโ€™s sister, Christie, had moved to a private campground and wellness retreat a few hours north of the city called Camp Haven. Someone staying at the campground told tabloids that they had seen Armstrong with Christie, a fact that investigators have not confirmed. + +On Tuesday, May 17, Austin police got the results back from the ballistics test theyโ€™d performed on Armstrongโ€™s gun, and they issued a warrant for her arrest. That test, along with evidence allegedly putting her vehicle at the scene of the crime, seemed like more than enough to bring her in for additional questioning, but the warrant went further. It also speculated on a motive for the crime: that Stricklandโ€™s meeting with Wilson had driven Armstrong into a murderous rage. + +The affidavit included text exchanges between Strickland and Wilson about the status of their relationship, anonymous sources who described it as โ€œon again, off again,โ€ and an account of Armstrong telling Wilson to โ€œstay away from [Strickland].โ€ The affidavit also stated that Armstrong had โ€œrolled her eyes in an angry mannerโ€ when Detective Conner told her that Strickland had been out with Wilson. + +In a statement, Wilsonโ€™s family refuted the assertion that she was still romantically involved with Strickland at the time of her murder, stating that she wasnโ€™t in a relationship with anyone then. (Wilsonโ€™s family did not respond to requests for comment for this article.) As for the eye roll, itโ€™s not captured on video, and Kaitlinโ€™s lawyers dispute the assertion. + +On May 18, just as the news of Wilsonโ€™s murder was reaching a boil, Armstrong boarded an international flight from the Newark airport in New Jersey bound for Costa Rica. + +![Kaitlin Armstrong wearing cycling gear](https://www.outsideonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/kaitlin-armstrong-biking_s.jpg?crop=1:1&width=500&enable=upscale) + +On Tuesday, May 17, Austin police got the results back from the ballistics test theyโ€™d performed on Kaitlin Armstrongโ€™s gun, and they issued a warrant for her arrest.ย  + +![Kaitlin Armstrong U.S. Marshals](https://www.outsideonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/kaitlin-armstrong-wanted-poster_s.jpg?crop=1:1&width=500&enable=upscale) + +(Courtesy U.S. Marshals) + +In Costa Rica, Armstrong dyed her hair, cut it short, and went by the name Ari, though police believe she used at least two other aliases. She checked in at a hostel in Santa Teresa, a beach town known for its world-class yoga and burgeoning surf scene, making friends with locals and teaching yoga classes. + +Of all the places to escape to, Santa Teresa, which sits on the Nicoya Peninsula on the countryโ€™s Pacific coast, seemed like a promising choice. To get there, you have to drive about 90 minutes from the capital, San Josรฉ, take a ferry for another 90 minutes across the Gulf of Nicoya, and then drive one more 90-minute stretch to the western side of the peninsula. There, visitors find vegan cafรฉs, surf bars, and pristine beaches set against mountainous rainforest. + +Decades ago, Santa Teresa had a reputation as a low-key outlaw outpost. Electricity didnโ€™t arrive until 1996, and for a long time there wasnโ€™t a single paved road. In the old days, you might have met people there who preferred not to be found. But today youโ€™re more likely to see a touristy T-shirt that reads, โ€œA sunny place for shady characters.โ€ Tom Brady and Matthew McConaughey have been spotted in town. + +Other Austinites were roaming around Santa Teresa, too. At Don Jonโ€™s Surf and Yoga Lodge, the hostel where Armstrong shared a room for under $20 a day, she met Kael Anderson, a 27-year-old from Austin who went there frequently to surf. Anderson had heard about Wilsonโ€™s murder, but it didnโ€™t occur to him that the woman he knew as Ari might be the accused killer. + +โ€œIt seemed like she was holding a lot back,โ€ Anderson told me. โ€œShe wasnโ€™t communicating much. But there were no whispers. Nobody knew a thing. She did not come off as the murderous type, or a person to plan a premeditated murder. She was pretty cool. She sat in a corner and worked off her laptop pretty much the entire time.โ€ + +Armstrong hung out at the one bar where most people went: Kooks Smokehouse, a barbecue joint run by Greg Haber, a former lawyer from New York. In Santa Teresa, when a woman whoโ€™s new to the scene rolls through, locals often introduce themselves and offer to buy her a drink. Haber said that he saw Armstrong in his place two or three times a week, usually with friends of his.ย [According to theย _Austin American-Statesman_](https://www.statesman.com/in-depth/news/crime/2022/07/15/accused-of-killing-cyclist-moriah-wilson-austin-kaitlin-armstrong-fled-to-costa-rica/65370395007/), Armstrong also befriended a local named Teal Akerson, who sheโ€™d met outside a tattoo shop. + +Teal put Armstrongโ€™s name in his phone as โ€œAri Tattoo,โ€ and they got together a few times, talked, and smoked a little pot. At one point, when Teal tried going in for a kiss, she backed away. She told him sheโ€™d just been through a bad breakup. + +In late June, a little over a month after Armstrong became a fugitive, she took two buses and a ferry back to San Josรฉ. According toย [a report about the case on NBCโ€™sย _Dateline_](https://www.peacocktv.com/watch/asset/tv/dateline-nbc/9060582955933764112/seasons/31/episodes/the-last-ride-episode-1/7cd938b4-dd08-3c4f-9ee6-c1e0427de8dc?section=episodes)_,_ย she went to a clinic called the AVA Surgical Center and got a nose job. โ€œShe was completely changing the way she looked,โ€ Anderson says. When people asked why she had a bandage on her nose, Armstrong told them sheโ€™d been hurt in a surfing accident. + +Law enforcement finally caught up with her on June 29. She was sitting in the hostel lobby, chatting with a friend, when three Costa Rican police officers who were working with the U.S. Marshals approached. They demanded to see identification. Kaitlin told them she didnโ€™t have any. Later, in a lockbox at the hostel, police found a receipt for plastic surgery totalling $6,350 under the name Alisson, along with Christieโ€™s passport. + +## Seven: Judgment + +I saw Armstrong a couple of months ago, during a pretrial hearing in the 403rd state district court for Travis County. Chains linked her ankles, and bailiffs guarded her on either side. She wore the maroon uniform issued by a jail in Del Valle, just east of Austin. Her hair had regained much of its auburn color. She wore it parted on the side. + +Her lawyers had been busy, releasing a series of motions challenging almost every aspect of the stateโ€™s case. One demanded exclusion of Armstrongโ€™s May 12 police interview from the pending trial, on the grounds that Detective Conner never issued Armstrong a Miranda warning during the interrogation. Another argued that the judge should throw out the arrest warrant, and the investigation stemming from it, calling the police affidavit, written by Detective Spitler, โ€œa misogynistic and fictitious story portraying Ms. Armstrong as a jealous woman scorned by Mr. Strickland.โ€ (Armstrongโ€™s lawyers declined to make her available for an interview for this article and did not respond to requests for comment.) + +The pretrial motions made it clear that Armstrongโ€™s lawyers would be challenging fundamental pieces of evidence, including the ballistics test and the security video allegedly showing her jeep at the scene. + +Each side has accused the other of using the media to promote their version of events. The defense, for example, points toย [a chest-thumping press conference](https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?ref=watch_permalink&v=724761555465085)ย held by U.S. Marshals after Armstrong was apprehended. The presentation included her wanted poster with red print across her face, reading: โ€œCAPTURED.โ€ + +For its part, the prosecution asked for a gag order, claiming that the defenseโ€™s use of the media to sway public opinion toward Armstrong had tainted the local jury pool. The presiding judge, Brenda Kennedy, granted the order on August 23, saying that itโ€™s in no oneโ€™s interest for the trial to be removed to some remote location because of undue influence on jury members. + +On November 9, Judge Kennedy denied the defenseโ€™s motions seeking to exclude evidence. She said Armstrong didnโ€™t require a Mirandized warning because she wasnโ€™t officially in custody, and that the police didnโ€™t have any obligation to cease their questioning of Armstong when she wondered aloud if she needed a lawyer present. The additional arguments made by Armstrongโ€™s lawyer, in Judge Kennedyโ€™s view, didnโ€™t meet the standard of the law or precedent. + +Armstrong has a right to a fair trial and the presumption of innocence. Her lawyer argued that she left Austin legally, to be with her family. He also maintained that, at the time of Armstrongโ€™s departure, Strickland himself was still a suspect in Wilsonโ€™s murder. The international flight? The hair dye? According to Cofer, they were decisions driven by fear of a potentially murderous boyfriend, not guilt. + +Armstrongโ€™s trial is tentatively scheduled for June 2023. + +โ€œDo I think Kaitlin could kill somebody?โ€ he said to Spitler. โ€œNo, I donโ€™t. I have no concept of having that much rage and the ability to suspend reality for long enough to do something like that.โ€ + +![Image](https://www.outsideonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/unbound-bk-1_h.jpg?crop=25:14&width=500&enable=upscale) + +(Brad Kaminski) + +At a memorial for Moriah Wilson last May, we gathered at the steps of the Federal Courthouse in Austin. We talked about anything other than the murder: the rides weโ€™d done that weekend, the events and adventures we had coming up. + +A friend said to me: โ€œI thought Colin might be here?โ€ It would make sense. Wilson was his friend, and heโ€™s grieving, too. For Wilson. And also for Armstrong. And to a much lesser extent, for his own identity as a pro cyclist, a life he built for himself and has now lost. He hasnโ€™t been on a gravel bike since Wilsonโ€™s murder. His last real ride was the one he started with Armstrong. + +Iโ€™d been to memorials for bike riders before. Many of them. I grew up in a bike club family. People driving cars ran into club members and killed them. I lost a close friend to road violence. I knew racers whoโ€™d crashed and died while competing. + +In some communities, gun violence is an all too regular occurrence. But in the cloistered cycling community I inhabit, itโ€™s almost unheard of. + +People get angry, they get hurt, they feel desperate all the time. They look for a solution to bring their pain to an abrupt end. A gun makes it very easy for them to hurt themselves, or someone else. + +Strickland used flawed logic to purchase a gun, and he knows that. His belief that owning a gun would make women safer, free to pursue the life they want for themselves, was misplaced, regardless of whether or not Armstrong in fact killed Wilson. More guns equals more gun deaths. And not just of criminals. Less than 2 percent of violent crime is deterred through the use of a handgun. + +Much more than the memorials Iโ€™ve attended for bike riders, Iโ€™ve attended celebrations of love. People who met and got married riding bikes. Children born to bike-riding couples, like Wilsonโ€™s parents. After the memorial, we all went on a bike ride, from the Courthouse to Deep Eddy. It was a hundred degrees out. A swim with friends felt wonderful. + +  +  + +--- +`$= dv.el('center', 'Source: ' + dv.current().Link + ', ' + dv.current().Date.toLocaleString("fr-FR"))` \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/00.03 News/The New Rules.md b/00.03 News/The New Rules.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..3cd6a867 --- /dev/null +++ b/00.03 News/The New Rules.md @@ -0,0 +1,381 @@ +--- + +Tag: ["๐Ÿคต๐Ÿป", "๐Ÿ“"] +Date: 2023-02-05 +DocType: "WebClipping" +Hierarchy: +TimeStamp: 2023-02-05 +Link: https://www.thecut.com/article/tipping-rules-etiquette-rules.html +location: +CollapseMetaTable: true + +--- + +Parent:: [[@News|News]] +Read:: ๐ŸŸฅ + +--- + +  + +```button +name Save +type command +action Save current file +id Save +``` +^button-TheNewRulesNSave + +  + +# The New Rules + +## Do You Know How to Behave? *Are You Sure?* + +## How to text, tip, ghost, host, and generally exist in polite society today. + +![](https://pyxis.nymag.com/v1/imgs/bc3/241/fb3f68e786975022a0ba034d4f5a7a9ba2-etiquette-nervous-man-4x5.rvertical.w570.jpg) + +Illustration: Andrew Rae + +- [Friends & Lovers](https://www.thecut.com/article/tipping-rules-etiquette-rules.html#friends-and-lovers) +- [Strangers & Others](https://www.thecut.com/article/tipping-rules-etiquette-rules.html#strangers-and-others) +- [Going Out & Staying In](https://www.thecut.com/article/tipping-rules-etiquette-rules.html#going-out-staying-in) +- [Tipping](https://www.thecut.com/article/tipping-rules-etiquette-rules.html#tipping) +- [Work](https://www.thecut.com/article/tipping-rules-etiquette-rules.html#work) +- [The City](https://www.thecut.com/article/tipping-rules-etiquette-rules.html#nyc) +- [Parenting](https://www.thecut.com/article/tipping-rules-etiquette-rules.html#parenting) +- [Postingย &ย Texting](https://www.thecut.com/article/tipping-rules-etiquette-rules.html#posting-texting) + +The ways we socialize and date, commute and work are nearly unrecognizable from what they were three years ago. Weโ€™ve enjoyed a global pandemic, open employer-employee warfare, a multifront culture war, and social upheavals both great and small. The old conventions are out (we donโ€™t whisper the word *cancer* or let women off the elevator first anymore, for starters). The venues in which we can make fools of ourselves (group chats, Grindr messages, Slack rooms public and private) are multiplying, and each has its own rules of conduct. And everyoneโ€™s just kind of rusty. Our social graces have atrophied. + +## On the cover + +### โ€” + +We wanted to help. So we started with the problems โ€” not the obvious stuff, like whether itโ€™s okay to wear a backpack on the subway or talk loudly on speakerphone in a restaurant (you know the answers there). We asked people instead what specific kinds of interactions or situations really made them anxious, afraid, uncertain, ashamed. From there, we created rigid, but not entirely inflexible, rules. + +Then we took our own medicine โ€” we implemented these rules in our professional and personal lives. Some really didnโ€™t work. (โ€œItโ€™s been great to chatโ€ didnโ€™t quite land when we used it as a way to [exit a boring conversation at a holiday party](https://www.thecut.com/article/tipping-rules-etiquette-rules.html#exit).) Others felt like instant canon (we agreed, for example, that [text-message amnesty is granted after 72 hours](https://www.thecut.com/article/tipping-rules-etiquette-rules.html#amnesty)). We fine-tuned and eliminated. We talked to friends, entertaining experts, and service workers. We sparked office arguments and made messes and ended up with a guide that we hope will stand the test of at least a bit of time โ€” until the next great exciting social upheaval. + +Life is finite. We canโ€™t be expected to spend all our time metabolizing content by friends or friends of friends. Still, if you encounter someone who has recently produced something creative and you donโ€™t feel like telling them you havenโ€™t gotten around to engaging with it, say something about how impressive it is that theyโ€™ve created something in the first place. โ€œWhat a feat!โ€ (with a cheerful hand gesture) is always effective. (โ€œWhat a feat!โ€ also works well if you saw your friendโ€™s show and hated it.) Just donโ€™t overplay your hand and try to get into specifics. But if you do consume their artistic product, send them a nice note. Theyโ€™ll remember forever. + +At 2 p.m., thereโ€™s still ample time for your friend โ€” if they so choose โ€” to text around and find another dinner companion. By three, they almost certainly will be alone for the night. (This doesnโ€™t apply if you want to cancel on someone who is cooking for you โ€” in that situation, you have to tell them the night before.) + +Your single friends have likely put up with a host of your well-intended yet annoying behaviors: that time you invited your significant other to tag along without asking, those other times you offered to set them up with your significant otherโ€™s unemployed friends. You may think that asking basic questions about their newfangled dating apps (โ€œSo which way do you swipe again?โ€) shows interest and engagement in their love lives, but your wide-eyed curiosity could just as easily come across as patronizing โ€” and as a subtle reminder of your own blissful insulation from the dumpster fire that is app-dating. + +This is doubly true in a vintage shop, where you should also offer to let them try on the things youโ€™ve decided not to buy. + +If, as a couple, you start an argument in the middle of a group of friends, that group of friends may start looking a lot like potential allies. Resist that urge. Do not attempt to shore up support. Do not ask if you are โ€œclearly in the right.โ€ Continue debating with your significant other if you must, but leave the others out of it. Your addiction to argument isnโ€™t everyone elseโ€™s kink. + +And donโ€™t turn on the lights when theyโ€™re asleep. Jet-lagged and want to talk? Donโ€™t do it. Think someone is coming in to kill you? Work it out yourself. + +Thereโ€™s no need to keep a tally or trade queries back and forth like itโ€™s a tennis match, but do at least be aware of how long youโ€™re holding the floor and take care to share it. + +If the conversation is so painful youโ€™re considering making up a story about a sick animal, your date will probably feel relieved. + +Interject with โ€œOh my gosh, that was hilarious,โ€ or โ€œtruly horrific,โ€ or โ€œunbelievable โ€” youโ€™ve told me.โ€ But if you donโ€™t say it within the allotted time, you just have to listen to them tell the story again. And if youโ€™re in a larger group, you just have to listen, period. + +Itโ€™s annoyingly vague (and also smug). Some examples of when itโ€™s acceptable: when trying to procure an apartment or a seat next to your, ahem, โ€œpartnerโ€ on an airplane and in negotiations with bosses about relocations. (This rule doesnโ€™t apply to people who are actively resisting the patriarchy by refusing to get married. You have no other word, we realize.) + +Still, the historical mandate is hard-coded into most people and should be considered: If youโ€™re penetrating, you pay. + +Your friend who is bereaved or suffering lives in time differently than you do. You learned about the death or the diagnosis at a particular moment and felt a pang of sympathy, tinged โ€” if youโ€™re honest โ€” with relief that you evaded loss this time, as well as a teensy bit of actuarial superiority: You donโ€™t smoke (that much), donโ€™t drink (that much), donโ€™t check your phone while driving (very often). **But you feel for your friend, so you put โ€œcondolence noteโ€ on a list along with other to-dos** โ€” the health-insurance thing, the birthday gift, the financial-aid application โ€” and there it sits, continually shuffled to the bottom of the agenda, reprimanding you as the days become weeks. + +Things that are appropriate in any situation: babka, Brodo, money (if there are unexpected costs to deal with). A smoked turkey is especially nice for a grieving family โ€” it can feed a lot of people, is delicious cold or warm, and can be eaten on its own, in a sandwich or salad, or hot open-faced. + +You met up for a drink after work; discussed work, school, and siblings for 90 minutes; and ended the evening with a noncommittal โ€œLetโ€™s do this again sometime.โ€ Now itโ€™s been three days and youโ€™re wondering what you owe this person you donโ€™t particularly want to see again. You *could* send a text letting them down gently, but itโ€™s also fine to say nothing. At this point, neither of you has put so much energy into the interaction that it warrants a formal ending. (And besides, nobody likes getting rejected by someone they didnโ€™t care that much about in the first place). + +There are exceptions, though. If youโ€™ve been texting a lot after the date, or youโ€™ve clearly talked about going on another one, then there is a social contract to not ghost. Quickly say good-bye and good luck and get outta there. + +I donโ€™t ghost people because abandonment is my central trauma and passive-aggressive has never been my style. (Iโ€™m more aggressive-aggressive.) I suppose I can understand the appeal of ghosting as an easy way to cut someone off for whatever reason, or for none at all. **What I cannot understand is ghosting someone and then coming back several years later to request a favor** that would have been a considerable ask even if we had remained friendly. + +There are fewer breakup blackout dates than you think. Think itโ€™s compassionate to wait until January 2 to dump them? No, it just shows you were planning to do it all through the holidays! + +It doesnโ€™t matter who you have sex with. + +The conventional wisdom has been that unless your friend is being hurt, keep your opinion to yourself because it will damage your relationship. Our feeling is that you can share your reservations โ€” but you have only one shot. After that, your friend decides what they want to do and you canโ€™t bring up your grievances again unless they ask (no eyebrow raises or passive-aggressive observations, either). + +This is partly because I can never remember anyoneโ€™s birthday, but I like giving people gifts as soon as I find something that may amuse them or that I want them to read or hear rather than waiting for some societally designated occasion. It feels less contractual this way. And the things I like giving โ€” novelty T-shirts, hyperspecific vintage mugs, old issues of *The Face,* fruitcake, glossy eight-by-tens of โ€™90s musicians โ€” rarely rise to the gravitas of a birthday or holiday. + +**Itโ€™s just nice to offer someone a physical manifestation of โ€œI was thinking about you.โ€** Or to figure out how you might distill someoneโ€™s personality into an eBay search string. Obviously, this doesnโ€™t work with children. But most other people in your life will appreciate the small unexpected interruption to business as usual. This dovetails with another personal rule: Always send mail; everyone loves getting surprises in the mail. โ€” *Hua Hsu* + +Itโ€™s the perfect middle ground: assertive (*Weโ€™ve met, I know it, and so do you*) but generous (youโ€™re telling them your name so they donโ€™t have to grope around blindly). + +A couple of months ago, I met a famous singer backstage after her concert. I was wearing a loud pair of pants โ€” the kind that attract a lot of attention wherever they go โ€” designed by a friend. โ€œI like your pants,โ€ the singer said. โ€œI like your glasses,โ€ I responded in a panic. Horrible. False sounding. And how could it not be? A compliment that follows a compliment, even if meant sincerely, will always sound forced. Iโ€™ve thought about it for months since and know exactly what I should have said: โ€œThank youโ€ (owning the compliment) and โ€œMy friend will be so happy to hear you liked themโ€ (gracious). โ€” *Katy Schneider* + +Just do it as early as possible, and casually. + +Thereโ€™s no better way to bring a conversation to a grinding halt. + +The only good COVID conversation is โ€œAre you feeling better, and can I get you anything?โ€ No boring anecdata, no โ€œhow I became infectedโ€ stories, and certainly never ask anyone, โ€œHow did you get it?โ€ Itโ€™s dumb! Do you ask people how they got chlamydia? Do you ask where babies come from? Grow up. + +If their mask makes you nervous, put one on too. If their mask makes you annoyed, get over yourself. + +Maybe theyโ€™re at the tail end of bronchitis. Maybe theyโ€™re visiting an elderly relative next week. Maybe theyโ€™re feeling ugly. Maybe they have COVID right now! Itโ€™s simply none of your business. + +Itโ€™s neutral and doesnโ€™t force someone to endure a trauma dump or a spiel on how โ€œthe world is up in flames.โ€ + +These are not the same. Try โ€œWhatโ€™s your ethnic heritage?โ€ instead. Itโ€™s not great, but at least itโ€™s honest. + +Itโ€™s condescending to describe them thusly. + +Not everyone believes in your made-up star bullshit. + +It was 60 degrees in January. Thereโ€™s lots to say. + +Itโ€™s oddly creepy when it comes from a man, and in other contexts, it reads as an unnecessary attempt to feign some kind of unity or connection between women. + +Itโ€™s classist and boring. Try three other topics first. + +Flying is bad enough already. Do what you can to make things better for yourself. Just donโ€™t knock down elderly people on the way. + +In the vast majority of circumstances, it is unacceptable to issue a verdict on the totality of someone elseโ€™s appearance. You cannot walk up to a stranger at a party and declare, โ€œWow, great waist-to-hip ratio, but you sure do have a noticeably large forehead!โ€ Yet that is exactly what โ€œYou know who you look like?โ€ is, except in code. โ€œI have assessed you,โ€ you are saying, โ€œand here is my inscrutable decision.โ€ So now the target of your observation gets to figure out if it was a compliment or an insult, and because beauty is subjective, thereโ€™s no way for them to know what you meant and no way for you to know how they received it โ€” you simply cannot guess how the other feels about โ€œyoung Barbra Streisand.โ€ + +One time, I was in a very spacious bar with at least a good two feet behind me, and then I felt it: a hand on my lower back like a piece of sandpaper. I turned around to find a man whose head was shaped like Caillouโ€™s staring back at me. Itโ€™s awkward, uncomfortable, and unnecessary. A nice little โ€œExcuse meโ€ would suffice. Is the music too loud? Give me a tap on the shoulder. โ€” *Tarkor Zehn* + +You might assume Iโ€™m saying you should hold yourself in such high regard that no one else would ever impress you. That is not what I mean. Iโ€™m counseling you never to be impressed based on my conviction that being impressed by people you meet is an implicit endorsement of the status competition that dogs so much of our social lives. Weโ€™re impressed by degrees and professional accomplishments and physical beauty and fame, none of which is the basis of lasting human connection. Developing affection for someone makes you more human; being impressed by someone makes you less. + +โ€œWeโ€™re comfortableโ€? Leave it in the โ€™90s. Be forthright or say nothing. Theyโ€™ve already noticed! + +YOUR FRIEND: โ€œThis is my boyfriend, Pete.โ€ (Itโ€™s Pete Davidson.) + +YOU: โ€œOh, of course! So nice to meet you.โ€ + +Itโ€™s weird to pretend you donโ€™t know who they are, and unless youโ€™re a true fan, saying you love their work just feels disingenuous. + +Same goes for Annie Hathaway and Jen Lawrence. Nickname-dropping is worse than regular name-dropping. + +Heโ€™s not โ€œFiddyโ€ for you. + +Oh, look, youโ€™re the center of attention again! + +We can see your eyes glazing over. + +A classic good response: โ€œThanks for correcting me.โ€ Then take the initiative to push the conversation forward. After the moment has passed, you may feel the urge to get more time with the person you misgendered, either to secure their forgiveness or to assure them (and yourself, letโ€™s be honest) that youโ€™re an ally. Resist it! Donโ€™t, for example, remind them of your progressive bona fides (โ€œMy best friend is trans!โ€), and donโ€™t find them later to apologize some more. + +A simple โ€œ\[Name\] uses the pronouns they/themโ€ will do. + +Youโ€™re allowed to ask for things based on allergies and preferences. But when your dish transforms into another dish, youโ€™re a problem. + +If youโ€™re waiting in line behind more than one person, thatโ€™s your time to figure this out โ€” itโ€™s not for texting, getting deranged health tips from TikTok, or reading work Slack. Come ready to play, and cut right to the chase โ€” just a string of nouns: โ€œPoppy-seed bagel, cream cheese, not toasted.โ€ Done. Next! + +Once, I gave a dinner party with my ex, who was a fantastic cook. He created a five-course menu and made the pasta by hand. Then a famous designer โ€” I wonโ€™t say who โ€” showed up with a blender filled with the ingredients for his own meal. He was on some very restricted diet. If I were on a very restricted diet or if I were gluten free, or vegan, or anything, I would not say a word to my host. At a dinner party, itโ€™s about what the host wants to do. Just pick at what you can, then eat when you get home. ย โ€” *Wendy Goodman* + +Theyโ€™ll see straight through โ€œIโ€™m going to the bathroomโ€ or โ€œIโ€™m going to get another drink.โ€ And โ€œIโ€™m gonna go make the roundsโ€ is a bit cruel. + +But if youโ€™re the only person who doesnโ€™t want to play the game, offer to be scorekeeper. + +The worst part of any restaurant meal is the arrival of the check. Paranoia infects the table: *Who got what? And how many drinks? And youโ€™re a vegetarian? And whose card gets points where?* This is the police-interrogation room of the modern diner, bright and relentless. + +Just offer! Admit that you ordered a whole-ass brook trout more than me on the check! Itโ€™s all I ask. The acknowledgment. Plus, the entire tip is easy arithmetic. Nobody needs you to pull out the calculator function on your phone. Look, itโ€™s not as if youโ€™re underwriting my California-sober lifestyle, either. You did not get invoiced for the CBD-forward hybrid I deployed to put on different clothes when itโ€™s dark outside at 4 p.m. Respectfully. Besides, Iโ€™m Asian! Chances are Iโ€™ll pay the check on my way to the bathroom for the flex. I just need to know that you know. Yโ€™know? โ€” *Mary H.K.

After all, putting together a group vacation can be a massive and complex logistical lift, from figuring out the dates, to researching lodgings and restaurants, to making reservations, to chasing down unresponsive members of the group text. And if you played a more passive role, itโ€™s a good and basically cost-free way to show your appreciation. (The one caveat is that if youโ€™re traveling with people who brought their kids, itโ€™s probably not nice to put them in a super-tiny room.) + +Partyโ€™s over. + +You never know who might overhear you raving about the big twist or panning an actorโ€™s overhyped performance.

A carrot cake with โ€œGood Luckโ€ written in orange icing softened in the heat, but as far as they were concerned, the occasion was his birthday. โ€œYou canโ€™t say, โ€˜Happy going away!โ€™โ€ said Jeff, his best friend, greeting him with a hug. โ€œWeโ€™re just not happy. Weโ€™re all very sad about it.โ€ Good-bye parties are inherently not that fun. Theyโ€™re even less fun when theyโ€™re driven by a far-right takeover of the state government. + +โ€œTell him he canโ€™t leave,โ€ whispered a woman seated under an umbrella. โ€œThere are too many Republicans.โ€ย  + +To hear Stettin tell it, that is precisely why he is moving out of what Rick Perry once described as the โ€œblueberry in the tomato soup,โ€ a predominantly Democratic city full of liberal expats like himself seeking progressive politics and an urban lifestyle at a red-state cost-of-living discount. โ€œIt was easy to just be in Never Neverland, floating with a bunch of other transplants having a good time,โ€ said Stettin, who relocated from Dallas to Austin five years ago. + +But then 2020 happened. As the pandemic raged, Governor Greg Abbott [banned](https://www.texastribune.org/2021/08/06/texas-greg-abbott-covid-restrictions/) municipalities including Austin from implementing COVID measures such as mask mandates. The following year, amid a brutal winter storm, the stateโ€™s electric grid failed, killing hundreds and leaving millions freezing in the dark, and it has yet to be fixed. That summer, Abbott codified permitless carry and further restricted voting access. This past February, he [ordered investigations into the parents of trans children for child abuse](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/04/how-texas-became-a-virulently-anti-trans-state.html).

What more do you need if you are a remotely liberal person to get the fuck out of here?โ€ His destination was Massachusetts. โ€œAt least if Iโ€™m going to get into an argument with a guy in Boston,โ€ he said, โ€œheโ€™s probably not carrying an AR-15 in his trunk.โ€ + +This summer, that anxiety pervaded a stratum of liberal Austin, namely women, LGBTQ+ folks, parents, and people of color who fear a future in Texas and have the means to escape. The overturning of *Roe* seemed to remove the last obstacle in the stateโ€™s march to the far right, which is likely to be cemented in the upcoming election where Beto Oโ€™Rourke is way behind Abbott. While the Democratic mayor and the liberal city council institute token measures such as decriminalizing abortion, itโ€™s cold comfort. One 25-year-old woman said she had her tubes tied, fearing the consequences of an unwanted pregnancy. One couple may relocate to the Northeast to carry out their pregnancy.

Austin is the [fastest-growing metro](https://www.austinchamber.com/blog/02-08-2022-migration) in the U.S., and its population has increased by one-third over the past decade, with people from across Texas and the nation lured to the hippie-cowboy capital by tech jobs. In some cases, this explosive growth has bred at least as much discontent as the shifting political landscape. What was once seen as an affordable, creative haven is now a runaway boomtown, [pricing out most of whatever was left of Austinโ€™s proclaimed weirdness](https://www.curbed.com/2021/07/austins-real-estate-market-inside-the-frenzy.html) and drawing frequent comparisons to San Francisco.

In March, Karen had just picked up her 10-year-old daughter from acting camp when she began telling her about an upcoming protest at the governorโ€™s mansion against Abbottโ€™s order instructing Child Protective Services to investigate families providing gender-affirming medical care to their trans children for child abuse. Karen (whose name is being withheld to protect her family) asked if her daughter might want to do a voice recording to share her story with the crowd. โ€œAm I going to die?โ€ she asked. Stunned, Karen asked why she would think such a thing. โ€œBecause everybody here hates me.โ€ Karen pulled over, jumped out, and threw her arms around her daughter as they sobbed. โ€œIt was that moment when I knew we had to leave,โ€ she recalled through tears. + +A second-generation Texan, she stayed as long as she could. โ€œIโ€™ve always said, โ€˜Iโ€™m gonna stay and fight until they try to take my kids away,โ€™โ€ she said. While she said her daughter is not undergoing any sort of medical treatment targeted by the directive, she did not want to risk being separated from her children. In early June, they fled from Austin to Portland, Oregon. When she told her Republican father about her decision, he burst into tears. He said, โ€œIโ€™m glad youโ€™re getting out of here to get someplace safe.โ€ + +Karen said she has PTSD from the experience, and she feels survivorโ€™s guilt for not staying behind to fight with other families with trans children. But in the end, leaving is what she, and at least five other families she knows, had to do. Speaking from Portland, she said, โ€œI am genuinely frightened for my home state.โ€ + +Jordan Massingill is not far behind. A 32-year-old software engineer living in Austin, she will move once her 15-year-old daughter graduates from high school so as not to tear her away from her friends.

I feel an obligation to other women in Texas in the position I was in not that long ago,โ€ she said. On the other hand, she wants to raise her daughter with access to proper reproductive-health care, and though she realizes many women donโ€™t have the means to leave, she does. โ€œAs a mother, it feels very much like I have a responsibility to the safety of my child. Sacrificing your body to the Texas GOP is not worth it,โ€ she said. โ€œIt doesnโ€™t matter how liberal Austin is.

The writer Peter Godwin and I were walking through the university district. To get warm, we entered the National Museum of the History of Ukraine, its lower windows covered with sandbags and plywood. Inside, the lobby had been transformed into an exhibit of recent artifacts of [the Russian invasion](https://www.newyorker.com/news/dispatch/kyivs-peace-is-destroyed)โ€”street signs riddled with bullet holes, a childโ€™s pillow pierced by a bullet. In the light-filled stairway just off the main floor, pieces of shrapnel and Russian bombs had been hung from the ceiling, making a grim installation of rusted steel. + +A guide approached. Her name was Svitlana. She wore skinny jeans and an orange faux-fur vest. We asked her if we could see the rest of the museum. She told us that much of the museum was empty, that the most precious of its eight hundred thousand artifacts were hidden, to avoid being looted by Russian forces. We asked if we could see the museum anyway. She called the museumโ€™s press secretary and, after a few minutes of intense conversation, she got permission to give us a tour. + +โ€œBut the cashier isnโ€™t here yet,โ€ Svitlana said. She asked us to wait a few minutes, so we sat down on a bench in the lobby, next to a couple of Ukrainian women who looked to be in their seventies. They were bundled up in heavy down coats and rubber boots. + +A few minutes later, Svitlana approached again. + +โ€œIโ€™m sorry,โ€ she said. โ€œThere is an air raid. We must go downstairs.โ€ + +These days in Kyiv, news of air raids is more commonly communicated by smartphones than by sirens. We followed her to the basement. + +Downstairs, a group of older docents were huddled together in a carpeted room used for childrenโ€™s education. We sat with Svitlana in the adjoining hallway, brightly lit and covered in gray tile. The hallway was unheated, so we kept our coats on. We asked how long the air raids usually lasted. + +โ€œSometimes an hour, sometimes two,โ€ she said. + +Her full name was Svitlana Slastennikova. She was in her thirties, with blond hair, a heart-shaped face, and an earnest disposition. Her fingernails were painted red and matched her phone case. Hunched forward on a bench, she opened an app that allowed her to track Russian missiles in the air. + +She clicked her tongue. โ€œOh, itโ€™s bad,โ€ she said. + +The technology is now so advanced that Ukrainian citizens can know, more or less in real time, where the Russian missiles are coming from and generally where theyโ€™re going. In this case, Russia had just launched some seventy missiles, headed to sites all over Ukraine. The assumption was that they were directed at power substations, meant to cripple the countryโ€™s electrical grid. Vladimir Putinโ€™s recent strategy has been to knock out the power in the depth of winter in hopes of breaking the spirits of everyday Ukrainians. + +So far this strategy has not worked. + +โ€œMy friends and I, we have jokes about it,โ€ she said. โ€œAt home I organize all my housework during the hours I have power.โ€ She and her husband, a doctor who runs a private medical clinic, recently bought an inverter, which stores power when the grid is functioning. โ€œIโ€™m ready to be without electricity, but not a part of the Russian world, you know?โ€ + +Svitlana was born in 1986, โ€œthe year of Chernobyl,โ€ she said. Sheโ€™s worked at the museum for thirteen years, but her work has grown more urgent since 2014. When the Russians invaded the Donbas and [annexed Crimea](https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/the-creeping-annexation-of-crimea), Ukrainians wanted to learn more about their history as a people, independent of Russia. Because she finds so many Ukrainians, and foreign visitors, confused about the distinct histories of Ukraine and Russia, Svitlana wrote, and is now translating into English, a lecture titled โ€œUkrainians vs. Russians. Why Are We Not โ€˜Fraternalโ€™ Nations?โ€ It details the distinct history of Ukraine, going back centuries. โ€œWeโ€™re not the same people,โ€ she says. โ€œEthnically, weโ€™re totally different from Russians.โ€ + +For years, Svitlana had been giving tours inside the museum, but immediately after the [February, 2022, invasion](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/03/07/putins-bloody-folly-in-ukraine), the staff closed the building. Before the war, the museum employed about three hundred, but around twenty per cent of the staff left when the war started and have not returned. Now, on any given day, between fifty and seventy curators, guides, archivists and other staff members are on site, she says, and they have to fulfill their educational mission without many of the museumโ€™s holdings. + +โ€œAt the moment,โ€ Svitlana says, โ€œWe have lectures, lectures, lectures.โ€ + +Meanwhile, Putin has made every effort to erase [Ukrainian identity](https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/vladimir-putins-revisionist-history-of-russia-and-ukraine). His troops have ransacked museums and churches, bombed schools and cultural centers, and have fed Russian-speaking Ukrainians in occupied regions a constant diet of propaganda asserting that Ukrainians are Russians, and always have been. Before the 2022 invasion, even Svitlanaโ€™s own mother had believed some of the messaging coming from Moscow. + +โ€œWhen the Russians first invaded in February,โ€ Svitlana said, โ€œmy mother told me, โ€˜In one month we will be part of Russia.โ€™ I said to her, โ€˜You are insane.โ€™ย โ€ + +This is part of the generational divide in Ukraine. Those who grew up in Soviet times are often more sanguine about Russian control, while those who grew up after Ukraineโ€™s independence, in 1991, often look to Europe, not Moscow, as their past and future. The fierce resistance put up by Ukrainian troops, and the [atrocities committed by Russian soldiers](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/08/08/the-prosecution-of-russian-war-crimes-in-ukraine), have shocked many older Ukrainians. + +โ€œMy mother, when she saw how wild these Russians are,โ€ Svitlana said, โ€œshe changed her mind. These crimes being committed in the twenty-first century? Now she doesnโ€™t want to be part of Russia.โ€ Her mother, like millions of Ukrainians, is fluent in both Russian and Ukrainian. But many people now choose to speak Ukrainian, even if they grew up speaking Russian. A few days earlier, Peter and I had joined a delegation from *PEN* America (where Peter served a term as president) that was highlighting [cultural erasure in Ukraine](https://pen.org/report/ukrainian-culture-under-attack/), and toured a library in [Chernihiv](https://www.newyorker.com/news/dispatch/the-siege-of-chernihiv) that had been hit by a missile.The second floor was largely ruined, but on the first floor, a group of women gathered for tea, biscuits, and lessons in the Ukrainian language. + +Svitlanaโ€™s phone pinged again. + +โ€œOh, no. This is real,โ€ she said. Her app had more detail now. The missiles appeared to be heading toward targets all over the country: west toward Lviv, Ternopil, and Khmelnytskyi, south toward Kryvyi Rih, and north toward Kyiv. + +Peter and I were getting texts now from friends in Ukraine, telling us to get somewhere safe. In recent weeks, the danger was most acute near any of the power substations. Residents could either be hit by the missile itself or, more likely, by a fragment of that missile after the Ukrainian military had shot it from the sky. + +But in our time in Kyiv, nine months into the war, we saw that life away from the front was going on with shocking regularity. The grocery stores were well-stocked and immaculate. Restaurants were full. The streets were crowded with people shopping, working, living. The nail salons were open. The tattoo parlors were open. Stores were bright with holiday decorations. Make no mistake, there were countless signs that the country was at warโ€”checkpoints outside the city, rolling blackoutsโ€”but, also, throughout Kyiv, a profound defiance was evident in every packed cafรฉ and gallery. Even the members of the museum staff, as weโ€™d been talking to Svitlana in the basement, were moving up and down the stairs, seeming unworried about the missiles in the air. A cleaning woman had been busy with the basementโ€™s two bathrooms; she hadnโ€™t paused once since the raid began. + +We heard the scuffling of footsteps on the stairs. A group of people trundled down, two adults and a teen-ager in a sweatshirt bearing the face of Johnny Depp. Theyโ€™d been outside and had come into the museum for shelter. They went into the carpeted classroom and sat next to a whiteboard featuring a handwritten time line of Ukraineโ€™s history. + +Online, we could see images of families massing in the subways of Kyiv. Built during Soviet times in anticipation of nuclear war, the subway stations are among the deepest in the worldโ€”some as far as three hundred feet below street level. I asked if Svitlana needed to check in with her own husband and kids. No, she said. She already had got word on her phone that they were sheltering in place. Her kidsโ€™ school had a basement they used during raids. + +โ€œThey started practicing before the invasion began,โ€ she said, โ€œI didnโ€™t approve of this. I thought it was scary to the kids, to have them doing these drills.โ€ Like so many Ukrainians, Svitlana didnโ€™t think the invasion would actually happenโ€”even when a hundred thousand Russian troops were amassing at the border. + +Her son is twelve and her daughter is five, and by now theyโ€™re used to the drills. Her children play games while they shelter in place. At the beginning of the invasion, Svitlana had taken her kids west for a couple of months, but now that the fighting has moved to the eastern front, she is content to stay in Kyiv. With every Ukrainian victory, more residents of the city have returned from elsewhere in Europe and the western part of the country. โ€œI canโ€™t imagine living in Poland. Living in some gymnasium,โ€ she said. Her husband, like all men between eighteen and sixty, is barred from leaving the country anyway. + +  +  + +--- +`$= dv.el('center', 'Source: ' + dv.current().Link + ', ' + dv.current().Date.toLocaleString("fr-FR"))` \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/00.03 News/The Promise of Pyer Moss.md b/00.03 News/The Promise of Pyer Moss.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..59a4eb0c --- /dev/null +++ b/00.03 News/The Promise of Pyer Moss.md @@ -0,0 +1,182 @@ +--- + +Tag: ["๐ŸŽญ", "๐Ÿ‘—", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ", "๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡น", "โœŠ๐Ÿผ", "๐Ÿ‘ค"] +Date: 2023-01-31 +DocType: "WebClipping" +Hierarchy: +TimeStamp: 2023-01-31 +Link: https://www.thecut.com/article/pyer-moss-kerby-jean-raymond-designer.html?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=One%20Great%20Story%20-%20January%2030%2C%202023&utm_term=Subscription%20List%20-%20One%20Great%20Story +location: +CollapseMetaTable: true + +--- + +Parent:: [[@News|News]] +Read:: [[2023-02-02]] + +--- + +  + +```button +name Save +type command +action Save current file +id Save +``` +^button-ThePromiseofPyerMossNSave + +  + +# The Promise of Pyer Moss + +[spring fashion](https://www.thecut.com/tags/spring-fashion/) Jan. 30, 2023 + +Kerby Jean-Raymond was one of fashionโ€™s most celebrated young designers.

When the show began, the models wore white Doc Martens, some covered in fake blood and others inscribed with Garnerโ€™s last words, I CANโ€™T BREATHE; neck cuffs that evoked choke holds; straps; and uneven, torn-looking, disheveled clothing, as if the models had been tossed around by someone, perhaps the cops. Artist Gregory Siff spray-painted the garments with BREATHE, BREATHE, BREATHE during the show. The film ended with: FOR MORE INFORMATION AND INSIGHT, OPEN YOUR EYES. + +It shocked the fashion world, which is better known for producing, and selling, superficial fantasies of perfection and privilege than for engaging in political commentary. For Jean-Raymond, who had started Pyer Moss in 2013, it had been a risk he felt compelled to take. Black Lives Matter was founded in 2013 as well, following the acquittal of George Zimmerman, and the ubiquity of camera phones had made videos of deadly interactions with the police available for everyone to see. When the news came out, thanks to an interview he did with the Washington *Post*โ€™s senior critic-at-large Robin Givhan, that Jean-Raymond was making the film a part of his show, his first venue canceled. Several fashion insiders refused to attend when they were demoted from the front row, and many of his potential buyers were not pleased. But the show made Jean-Raymond a star. + +Covering him was an opportunity for the fashion press to feel relevant. He was a noisemaker with something to say, a good interview and headline. At a time when cancel culture and the act of calling out brands were emerging as influential forces, even white people understood that his critique of the exclusionary fashion world was valid. He attracted the support of Anna Wintour and other members of the fashion Establishment, who eager to prove that it was inclusive. Reebok started an ongoing, successful partnership with the brand. Black celebrities and politicians allied with him. Wearing Pyer Moss meant you stood for something: Michelle Obama wore a Pyer Moss blazer on *The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon* in 2018. Lena Waithe wore a custom Pyer Moss suit to the Met Gala in May 2019. Kamala Harris wore a Pyer Moss coat on the eve of her inauguration in 2021. For the Black community, it felt as if one of its own was finally breaking barriers on the communityโ€™s terms โ€” no code-switching, no making themselves small, no following the rules. + +Ten years in, Jean-Raymondโ€™s star has only risen. He hangs out with celebrities (Tracee Ellis Ross, Brent Faiyaz), made a cameo on *Insecure,* and drives flashy cars (a McLaren 720S, an Aston Martin Superleggera, a Porsche GT3 RS). Meanwhile, his brand is nearly nonexistent. + +There is no Pyer Moss boutique. The clothing celebrated on the runway was mostly not available to anybody who didnโ€™t have a celebrity stylist to pull it for them, and company insiders complained that quality control was so uneven that at times what was produced was too flawed to be sold. Jean-Raymond sometimes missed deadlines, didnโ€™t always pay bills, started other projects, and alienated allies. He referred to Pyer Moss as an โ€œart projectโ€ and seemed reluctant to make practical choices. Among the fashion insiders who had cheered his rise, there has been a growing feeling that he has wasted an opportunity to build something important. + +The last straw for many of his early supporters was his couture show in July 2021. Titled โ€œWAT U IZ,โ€ and put on in the U.S. during Paris Couture Week, it was a tribute to the various innovations that Black people have been responsible for, often without credit. The models came down the runway decked out in a jar of peanut butter and a traffic light. A lot of it wasnโ€™t really clothing, much less couture. Even if the professional critics and other members of the fashion press seemed hesitant to publicly express their disappointment, they whispered among each other that heโ€™d lost the plot of his brand. + +โ€œThe media becomes so enthralled, and some of them get infatuated, and what it does is it causes problems for a creative person because it makes them think they can fly,โ€ said activist and model Bethann Hardison, who encouraged Jean-Raymond early on. โ€œItโ€™s not the artistโ€™s fault or the designerโ€™s or the brandโ€™s fault, but the media brushes underneath them and pushes them so high that everyone is buying it. But me being a garment girl, Iโ€™m still looking for the basics because you still have to sell clothes.โ€ + +Since the couture show, not much has been heard from Pyer Moss. Thereโ€™s no shopping function on its website, the last Reebok collection dropped last fall, and the brand is no longer working with its PR company of over five years, the Hinton Group, which had so carefully helped Jean-Raymond build the sort of heroic press most small designers could only dream of. Over email, Jean-Raymond expressed surprise that anyone would think poorly of his brand. โ€œI feel a huge sense of responsibility to everyone who believes in me and what Pyer Moss has come to represent,โ€ he wrote. โ€œPyer Moss means everything to me.โ€ + +It is understandably very difficult to make a small independent designer into a sustainable business these days. And yet the notable level of anger and resentment toward Jean-Raymond, especially among those in the Black fashion community who thought he was changing the game, is an especially vivid example of the dangers of overpromising. โ€œFor a lot of black designers and designers of color, thereโ€™s this added pressure,โ€ says Givhan. โ€œYouโ€™re not just doing it for you, youโ€™re doing it for the community. And if I donโ€™t get it right, will there be another opportunity?โ€ In his first decade as a designer, Jean-Raymond has failed to play by fashionโ€™s most basic rules: provoke, yes, but use the attention to make and sell clothing. + +The spring-summer 2016 collection made him a star. Photo: Fernando Leon/Getty Images + +**Born in** **East Flatbush,** Kerby Jean-Raymond was raised by his father, who had emigrated from Haiti to Brooklyn in the early โ€™80s and worked as a cabdriver and, later, an electrical technician. Kerby had a tough upbringing: His neighborhood was one of the most violent in New York and had been an epicenter of the crack epidemic. His mother died in a house fire during a trip to Haiti when he was 7, and he spoke often about how badly he was treated by his stepmother, who gave her own son Christmas gifts while he got nothing. He lost several friends to gun violence and the prison system, and, like many young Black men, he had a number of terrifying encounters with racist cops. + +Jean-Raymond didnโ€™t hide his vulnerabilities, often leaving people, even those doing business with him, with the urge to protect him. โ€œIf you spend time around him, itโ€™s very clear that thereโ€™s something wrong, or something that happened to him in the past, all of the signs of someone who was just trying to hold on,โ€ said one former employee. + +Jean-Raymond knew he wanted to be a fashion designer early on, after falling in love with Dennis Rodmanโ€™s Nike Air Worms. He was eager and ambitious from the start. At 13, he got his first after-school job at a sneaker store in Flatbush called Ragga Muffin. At 14, while attending the High School of Fashion Industries, he landed a design internship with Kay Unger, a local womenswear designer who produced Georgina Chapmanโ€™s Marchesa, where Jean-Raymond later interned. At 15, he launched his own fashion line, Maryโ€™s Jungle, backed by $150 from Unger. He then did freelance design for Marc Jacobs, Theory, Kenneth Cole, and Badgley Mischka. Before Pyer Moss, prompted by his opposition to the war in Iraq, he started a T-shirt line printed with slogans like WE WONโ€™T FIGHT ANOTHER RICH MANโ€™S WAR. + +After graduating from Hofstra University with a business degree, Jean-Raymond worked at AT&T, among other places, before deciding to pursue fashion full time and launching his own brand. An initial investment of $35,000 from his former business partner Rayon Baker helped him start Pyer Moss in 2013. The name referenced his late motherโ€™s maiden name as well as the name of a cousin of hers, who was already in the U.S., that she had used on her green-card application. The company started out offering just menswear, which took inspiration from motocross and samurai. Rihanna wore one of his leather jackets, but most of his first runway models were white. + +Brittney Escovedo, an early employee and the co-founder of Beyond8, the production company for all of Jean-Raymondโ€™s shows, said that at first, the designerโ€™s focus was on making Pyer Moss a serious fashion brand. For Jean-Raymond, that meant not being too outspoken, casting thin white models, and focusing on themes that didnโ€™t necessarily relate to him personally but appealed to the general public. There was, by all appearances, little emotion. โ€œI donโ€™t really believe that was 100 percent who he was,โ€ said Escovedo. โ€œHe was throwing these things against the wall, and they werenโ€™t sticking in a real way, so when it came to the Black Lives Matter show, I think he was fed up. It was his way of expressing his creativity in the most authentic way possible.โ€ + +In February 2016, his fall collection put a spotlight on Black mental health with buttons attached to jackets and commander caps that referenced self-medication through drug use: ACID, BOOZE, LSD, MOLLY. He ended the show with a model carrying a sign down the runway that read MY DEMONS WON TODAY. The line was taken from the last message posted by MarShawn McCarrel, a Black Lives Matter activist who had committed suicide earlier that month. It was Jean-Raymondโ€™s first show to be covered by *Vogue* Runway, a coveted accomplishment for any fashion designer. In September 2016, his spring collection, โ€œBernie vs. Bernie,โ€ made a statement about privilege and wealth and was the first show in which he integrated a live performance, this time by Cyrus Aaron and Austin Millz. + +By then, Pyer Moss was getting regular coverage from all the heavy hitters: fashion critic Vanessa Friedman at the New York *Times, Vogue,* Givhan, Fashionista, *Womenโ€™s Wear Daily, Harperโ€™s Bazaar,* and Cathy Horyn at the Cut*.* All were coming around to making the same point: Jean-Raymond was doing something interesting. He was up next. + +โ€œHe was rolling in at a time when it was very good that someone like him was coming along, and people were very excited by not only what he was doing but the way he looked, the way he spoke, everything,โ€ said Hardison. + +In November 2017, Jean-Raymond announced that he had landed an 18-month contract to design Reebok by Pyer Moss. โ€œIt was important for me as a Black man to usher in Black creatives,โ€ said Damion Presson, the global-entertainment-marketing director at Reebok at the time. โ€œI feel like the footwear industry is a culture that profits immensely off of Black culture, and I thought it was important to help uplift and get some of these designers that donโ€™t necessarily have the same notoriety as the bigger names. I told Reebok if Anna Wintour and all these write-ups in these other fashion outlets are in support of Jean-Raymond, why wouldnโ€™t we get onboard?โ€ + +Reebok seemed to make the right bet. In 2018, Pyer Moss won the CFDA/*Vogue* Fashion Fund Award. The winner of the award gets $400,000 and mentorship from a fashion executive to help them develop as a business. Jean-Raymondโ€™s mentor was Laurent Claquin, head of Kering Americas, the luxury-retail conglomerate behind brands like Balenciaga and Gucci. + +What made Pyer Moss stand out was in part Jean-Raymondโ€™s tenacity in doing things his own way. He was determined to control his message and prevent it from being co-opted. After he used some of the Reebok money to buy out his original backer, the company became independent. โ€œAs soon as I felt like I had enough of a cult following, I was like, *I donโ€™t need to abide by the rules,*โ€ Jean-Raymond said in a 2020 *Surface* profile headlined โ€œThe Free Agent,โ€ a nickname bestowed on him by Claquin. + +He refused to follow the typical show schedule, which meant there were no specific seasons associated with his collections and no consistency around when to expect new clothes from the brand. + +โ€œThe energy dissipates quickly, and if you donโ€™t capitalize, you get caught on spending way too much and making little to nothing,โ€ says Joseph Ferrara, an adjunct professor of marketing at NYU and co-founder of Resonance, a technology company that helps fashion brands with production, who worked with Pyer Moss. + +Still, Jean-Raymond was gutsy. He wore a T-shirt that read IF YOU ARE JUST LEARNING ABOUT PYER MOSS, WE FORGIVE YOU during a meeting with Wintour in which he showed her his collection. For his CFDA/*Vogue* Fund competition show, fashion editors were forced to come to Brooklyn โ€ฆ in the rain, no less. The outdoor show, titled โ€œAmerican, Also. Lesson 2 โ€” Normal,โ€ held at Weeksville Heritage Center, in a neighborhood founded by freed slaves in the 19th century, featured a performance by a gospel choir with music curated by Raphael Saadiq. The choir was one of his trademark gestures speaking to his authenticity. Members of the Centerโ€™s staff complained they werenโ€™t invited, nor were residents of the neighboring Kingsborough Housing Projects, though Jean-Raymond had promised an invitation and free clothing โ€” โ€œa total lie,โ€ said a former employee. Meanwhile, the $300 hoodies reading WEEKSVILLE NEW YORK Jean-Raymond sold bothered some staffers of the nonprofit. โ€œItโ€™s just a slap in the face to us; the Weeksville community are not folks who can spend $300 on a sweatshirtโ€ when the center needed money, one noted. + +Three years after his Black Lives Matter show, โ€œAmerican, Alsoโ€ celebrated Black leisure. The artist Derrick Adams, whose work is suffused with everyday Black joy, collaborated on the pieces. Jean-Raymond was making a point: As he told the *Times,* โ€œYou know what we wrote on the mood board in the design studio as our takeaway for this collection? We wrote, โ€˜Black people like muffins and *Seinfeld* too.โ€™โ€ + +Forgoing the fashion calendar, Jean-Raymond took a full year after winning the CFDA/*Vogue* Fund Award to put on his next show. It took place at Kings Theatre in East Flatbush in front of an audience of 3,000. Brent Faiyaz opened the show accompanied by a 90-person choir; *Stranger Things* actor Caleb McLaughlin walked the runway; and celebrities including Normani, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Quavo showed up. The show, titled โ€œSister,โ€ was an homage to Rosetta Tharpe, the queer Black woman who invented rock and roll, with cropped jackets hemmed with piano keys at the bottom and guitar silhouettes. It was a collaboration with Sean John (which, under the direction of Sean โ€œP. Diddyโ€ Combs, was the first Black-owned brand to win a CFDA award). The show reportedly cost $400,000 to mount. + +โ€œIt was like a Black family reunion,โ€ said Stefanie Tomlin, the former general manager at Kings Theatre. โ€œIt was so Black. It was so central and core to Black culture and who we are. I felt like it was representative of me โ€” I felt like it was representative of us.โ€ + +**From left:** The spring 2020 runway show at Kings Theatre.

Photo: Sean Drakes/WireImagePyer Moss Reebok sneakers. Photo: Fernanda Calfat/Getty Images + +**According to insiders at Pyer Moss,** the brandโ€™s 2018 Black leisure collection was never produced for sale. But some of the looks appeared on red carpets, worn by celebrities such as Gabrielle Union-Wade and Laura Harrier, and in fashion editorials, like one on Refinery29 featuring Yara Shahidi. The 2019 collection was designed with the help of Christopher John Rogers, who went on to win the 2021 CFDA Womenswear Designer of the Year Award for his own work. That was seen by many critics as one of Pyer Mossโ€™s strongest collections, and the clothes showed up on the red carpet on people like Lexi Underwood and Jean-Raymond himself. But Jean-Raymond and Rogers didnโ€™t continue to work together, and the collection was sold only in very limited quantities on the brandโ€™s website. + +Jean-Raymond also used his runway collections to pay his respects by collaborating with celebrated Black fashion brands that had paved the way for him: Cross Colours in February 2018, FUBU in September 2018, and Sean John in September 2019. Aside from one T-shirt from the Sean John collaboration, none of these garments ever went into production. + +More and more, it seemed that Jean-Raymond, the amazing showman with big ideas, had only limited interest in doing what it took to make and sell clothes. + +To these critiques, Jean-Raymond is defiant. โ€œFashion houses often use shows as opportunities to display creativity, and not everything from the runway makes it into production,โ€ he noted in an email. โ€œI donโ€™t know why we would be held to a different standard. We are a ten-year-old fashion brand that regularly sells from the runway clothing and other items, including bags, sneakers and footwear. Itโ€™s our business.โ€ + +The 2021 Pyer Moss Met Gala after-party at Juniorโ€™s in Brooklyn. Photo: David X Prutting/BFA.com and Jojo Korsh/BFA.com + +**But for some, the minuscule** output presented a mystery. As Joseph Ferrara said: โ€œWhere is the product that weโ€™re associating with this awesome story?โ€ For those who joined the company believing, as one put it, โ€œheโ€™s like this god, and you go there thinking weโ€™re going to change lives,โ€ the work became increasingly frustrating. + +โ€œIโ€™m a designer โ€” I donโ€™t need another designer around me,โ€ Jean-Raymond said in a 2018 interview with the New York *Times.* He is, in fact, not a trained designer, which isnโ€™t rare in the fashion industry. He also insisted on running both the creative and business sides โ€” there was no Robert Duffy to his Marc Jacobs, no Giancarlo Giammetti to his Valentino. + +As a result, people who worked there say, decision-making was haphazard and eccentric, and the environment often felt high-handed. He didnโ€™t like for employees to set out-of-office messages on their email accounts when they were out of the office. (โ€œThat was offensive to him because weโ€™re not a corporate company,โ€ said a former employee on the design team.) Jean-Raymond wouldnโ€™t invite staffers to meetings if he felt he couldnโ€™t trust them, even if those meetings were necessary for them to attend in order to do their jobs. Another former employee on the design team pointed out to Jean-Raymond that the brandโ€™s price points and quality didnโ€™t align. (โ€œI mean, Conway and Rainbow have better stuff,โ€ the former employee told me.) After that exchange, this person started getting pulled off calendar invites. โ€œIt just didnโ€™t really feel like a team atmosphere,โ€ another member of the design team said. At times, workers werenโ€™t allowed to make eye contact with Jean-Raymond and had to โ€œearnโ€ privileges to speak to him. + +According to several insiders, the design process often felt like โ€œgaslightingโ€ when Jean-Raymond would deny asking for things he had asked for or would rush things that โ€œhe didnโ€™t want us to spend time on fitting,โ€ saying the designers were making it all too โ€œcomplicated.โ€ The craftsmanship suffered. Staffers recall that he could be paranoid: He was convinced the baby-blue pleated dress that opened Givenchyโ€™s September 2018 show copied the pleated skirts from his September 2018 show, though they debuted only a few weeks apart. He would constantly compare himself to and put down other designers, including Virgil Abloh. + +โ€œOne minute, if youโ€™re listening to him, weโ€™re best friends; he loves me. Weโ€™d go over his house and heโ€™d say, โ€˜Iโ€™m gonna introduce you to Beyoncรฉ,โ€™โ€ said one former employee. โ€œBut if youโ€™re like, โ€˜I donโ€™t think you should do this,โ€™ then it was like, โ€˜I hate you, you donโ€™t believe in my business, you donโ€™t believe in what weโ€™re doing, you donโ€™t trust me.โ€™โ€ + +In May 2021, Jean-Raymond let one of his executives and best friends, who had no background in design, take over a collection that a designer was working on. When the samples came back, nothing fit right (โ€œYou couldnโ€™t even get it over your head,โ€ said a former employee.) Former designers say this happened repeatedly. Jean-Raymond denied this, saying that he was the only designer on the collection and that โ€œwe sometimes receive samples that donโ€™t have the correct fit, but this is true across the industry and is just part of the process of making things.โ€ + +A couple of months earlier, the brand had released a video series called โ€œAlways Sold Outโ€ about people really wanting to buy Pyer Moss but finding that everything was unavailable. One film, titled *Production and Persuasion,* featured Tracee Ellis Ross on the phone yelling at factories to produce clothing for the brand, asking them how they were treating their workers, and bribing them with cheesecakes. + +According to several people with firsthand knowledge, cheesecakes wouldnโ€™t have helped much. Pyer Moss was often late in paying factories and, as a result, did not have good relationships with them. Contrary to what the Pyer Moss website implied, often when items were listed as โ€œsold out,โ€ it was due to very limited stock rather than high demand. + +A look from Pyer Mossโ€™s couture show. Photo: Cindy Ord/WireImage + +**In February** 2021, Jean-Raymond was invited by the Fรฉdรฉration de la Haute Couture et de la Mode to show. Usually, that would mean in Paris, during Couture Week, but instead he chose to do it 3,500 miles away at Villa Lewaro, originally the home of beauty mogul Madam C.J. Walker in Irvington, New York. According to a former employee, Jean-Raymond got the opportunity to present a couture show through connections at Kering. The brand pulled strings even though Pyer Moss had never done couture nor did its business seem ready to support a couture line, but the gamble made sense: The status that comes with being the first Black American designer at Couture Week would make history. + +Usually a couture show takes a year to prepare, at the very least six months, but insiders told me the design team started making prototypes less than two months ahead of time. (Jean-Raymond says โ€œsampling beganโ€ in April; the show was in July.) The sewers were still finishing items the night before. โ€œSomething this big requires so much development. I had to find someone to make a gigantic sandal. Those arenโ€™t the kind of things you could just find with a phone call,โ€ said Wendi Williams-Stern of Studio Unbiased, an L.A. company that specializes in couture tailoring, who worked on the show. Jean-Raymond said he wanted to disrupt haute couture, but the pieces Pyer Moss put on the runway looked more like costumes for a school pageant. + +โ€œYouโ€™re looking at 25 different projects that need to be done in two months, and all we really got to start was looking at images โ€” there werenโ€™t, like, prototypes at first,โ€ said Williams-Stern. โ€œThe pieces could have been a little better if we had more time.โ€ + +A week before the show, several employees warned Jean-Raymond of the likelihood of a rainstorm the day of the show. He insisted that they stick with the scheduled date. โ€œItโ€™s not gonna rain, youโ€™re so negative, youโ€™re always so negative,โ€ a former employee recalls him telling the weather-worriers. โ€œSo then everyone just went with it. At the end of the day, Jean-Raymond does what he wants to do; heโ€™s the one who has the final say.โ€ + +It did pour on the day of the show, but people still showed up to support Jean-Raymond and wait out the storm, and eventually the event turned into an impromptu party. โ€œIt became sort of fun. Kerby comes out of nowhere, and he starts handing out little joints, and the musicโ€™s good underneath that little tent. It was a moment that you would never remember, and it became memorable,โ€ said Hardison. Then, at the request of Jean-Raymond, the team put on the same exact show two days later, and a lot of the same people came out again. People were always rooting for him. That decision added significantly to the cost. โ€œThe collection was expensive because we had to mount the show twice due to rain,โ€ said Jean-Raymond. โ€œIt was hard. We had to repair the ruined set and do our best to salvage the samples. It turned out to be a beautiful experience that created a lot of coverage and excitement for the brand.โ€ + +Jean-Raymond was blowing through his money. According to several employees, Kering had by that point dedicated millions of dollars to Jean-Raymond, partly via Jean-Raymondโ€™s incubator program, Your Friends in New York, and partly via an investment in Pyer Moss. Some staff thought that while it was noble that Jean-Raymond wanted to help bring up young creatives, it seemed a bit ambitious to start a program giving other designers advice when he was having a hard time keeping Pyer Moss afloat. + +The money Kering invested in Pyer Moss wasnโ€™t always put to good use, according to company employees who watched it come in and go out. Some was used to pay old bills and overdue invoices. Much of it went to the development of multiple collections that never came to fruition. It was used to throw spur-of-the-moment parties and helped fund a documentary about the brand. It was used for a company trip to Joshua Tree for team bonding during which Jean-Raymond flew in a shaman to guide an ayahuasca ceremony. โ€œTo suggest that we used funds inappropriately is wholly false,โ€ Jean-Raymond said. โ€œDesigners and employees often receive an annual trip to Paris during market. During the pandemic, we went to Joshua Tree instead because Europe wasnโ€™t open for U.S. travel. This is where we did a majority of the design for the couture collection.โ€ + +Jean-Raymond was known for having a camera crew around, an arrangement some compared to being on a reality-TV-show set. โ€œHe forced everyone to get micโ€™d up,โ€ one former employee remembers, โ€œand he thought it was great to overact on-camera.โ€ What Jean-Raymond described as โ€œan investment in the marketing of the brandโ€ didnโ€™t go entirely as planned. โ€œThe film was not delivered in the creative direction that we โ€ฆ agreed on, so we decided to finish the film with another agency,โ€ he said, which led to some disagreement on what should be paid. โ€œWe have since found an amicable solution.โ€ + +At one point, according to several former employees at Pyer Moss and a former Kering employee, Kering executives voiced concerns about just where their money had gone. According to a Kering spokesperson, no formal process to find out was ever enacted: โ€œThere was no audit, nor was one requested. There is no change in our relationship with Kerby, Pyer Moss, and Your Friends in New York.โ€ + +In December 2021, Jean-Raymond laid off most of his team; several employees said they were let go with no severance. They said Jean-Raymond told them the company was shutting down and had no more money, only to hire two more rounds of employees (and then fire them) right after. He claimed he was going to Dubai to find investors and told the employees the company โ€œwould love to work with us in the futureโ€ and that they โ€œwould hear from them at the start of the year.โ€ The former employees never heard back. (Jean-Raymond denied ever firing people because he couldnโ€™t afford to pay them.) + +Thereโ€™s no denying that Jean-Raymond pushed the boundaries of what a fashion show could be and created space for other designers of color to make bold statements and explore their identities. In an email, Anna Wintour praised โ€œKerbyโ€™s talent and vision, not to mention the way he constantly questioned the fashion systemโ€ and stressed that โ€œfashion has for him been the perfect medium for his restless, questioning mind.โ€ + +But many people wanted more from him than an interesting art project. They wanted him to run a business. Thatโ€™s what makes his trajectory so frustrating for the people who had the power to help him, who wanted him to win. + +โ€œA lot of people go in really excited to work with and be involved with a brand that feels like itโ€™s connected to culture and community and wants to give back,โ€ said a former design-team member. โ€œThis is the higher message that everyone has associated with the brand. However, once you are inside, you realize thereโ€™s nothing to be a part of because itโ€™s not real.โ€ + +Jean-Raymond hired another team between March and April 2022, including designer Andre Walker, who didnโ€™t stay for long. According to a former employee, Pyer Moss was having trouble paying factories for samples โ€” Jean-Raymond denies this โ€” and was trying to repair its relationship with Kering. โ€œI didnโ€™t feel comfortable moving things forward with a lot of factory vendors that I knew we couldnโ€™t pay for. So I would get pricing and do all of everything but putting anything into production,โ€ said a former employee. โ€œIt does feel like I was there and did nothing.โ€ + +Jean-Raymond had plans to show again during Paris Couture Week, but he eventually realized he couldnโ€™t afford it. In August 2022, he laid off his newly hired team, keeping only his personal assistant and one other employee, telling them the brand had no more money and he couldnโ€™t make payroll. + +Pyer Moss had a lot stacked against it. Smaller brands almost always lose money. They lack the scale of production of larger brands, and for the entirety of Pyer Mossโ€™s existence, the old department-store and boutique systems that once supported upstart companies were in crisis. (RIP, Barneys New York.) And the pandemic upended production, delivery, and supply chains. Givhan says most brands that are the same age as Pyer Moss arenโ€™t yet profitable, โ€œbut the thing with him is it just didnโ€™t seem like there was a route to making money.โ€ + +Yet there is also a playbook of sorts for making it: Create what industry insiders call a โ€œhero productโ€ that enough people could buy to sustain the larger business. + +Telfar is a good example of this strategy. The brand, founded by Telfar Clemens in 2005, started to hit over $1 million in sales after its shopping bag became popular in 2017. Prior to that, the brand was pulling in only $100,000 in sales per year. + +In April 2022, Pyer Moss had finally launched its own collection of handbags and shoes and announced it to the *Times,* which dutifully hyped it with the headline โ€œThe Next It Bag?โ€ Prices ranged from $200 for a wallet to $1,800 for a small purse. The line was made in Italy; Francesca Bellettini, chief executive of the Kering-brand Saint Laurent, whom Jean-Raymond told the *Times* he considered his โ€œfairy godmother,โ€ made the connection. According to the article, it was something of a revelation that he could do more than create a performance; he could make clothing that sells. โ€œBottega Veneta sells clothes and has shows,โ€ he said. โ€œChanel sells clothes and has shows. Pyer Moss was known for shows, but people are going to get their basics from somewhere, so they should have the option to get them from us.โ€ + +Jean-Raymond was advised by his finance and design teams that the brand should start at a more realistic price point and place an order for a small amount from the factories to test how the accessories sold. He ordered over $2 million worth of product, much of it still sitting in the office today. + +As one employee put it, โ€œFashion is a hard business to make real money in, but what was so frustrating and disappointing is that you get this huge investment, which is the dream for so many designers, and you blow it on dinners and Airbnbs and bullshit.โ€ + +To date, the only hero product Jean-Raymond has successfully produced is himself. + +- [Itโ€™s Glo Time](https://www.thecut.com/article/glorilla-music-profile.html) +- [The Hustle of Women in Hip-Hop](https://www.thecut.com/article/2023-spring-fashion-cut-cover-editors-letter.html) + +[See All](https://www.thecut.com/tags/spring-fashion-issue-2023/) + +The Promise of Pyer Moss + +  +  + +--- +`$= dv.el('center', 'Source: ' + dv.current().Link + ', ' + dv.current().Date.toLocaleString("fr-FR"))` \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/00.03 News/The Radical, Lonely, Suddenly Shocking Life of Wang Juntao.md b/00.03 News/The Radical, Lonely, Suddenly Shocking Life of Wang Juntao.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..a058ccaf --- /dev/null +++ b/00.03 News/The Radical, Lonely, Suddenly Shocking Life of Wang Juntao.md @@ -0,0 +1,205 @@ +--- + +Tag: ["๐Ÿคต๐Ÿป", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ", "๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ", "๐Ÿ—ฝ"] +Date: 2023-01-27 +DocType: "WebClipping" +Hierarchy: +TimeStamp: 2023-01-27 +Link: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/wang-juntao-exile-chinese-communist-party-nyc.html?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=One%20Great%20Story%20-%20January%2026%2C%202023&utm_term=Subscription%20List%20-%20One%20Great%20Story +location: +CollapseMetaTable: true + +--- + +Parent:: [[@News|News]] +Read:: [[2023-01-30]] + +--- + +  + +```button +name Save +type command +action Save current file +id Save +``` +^button-TheRadicalLonelyShockingLifeofWangJuntaoNSave + +  + +# The Radical, Lonely, Suddenly Shocking Life of Wang Juntao + +After years of resisting Chinaโ€™s regime, an exile confronts murder and espionage in Queens. + +![](https://pyxis.nymag.com/v1/imgs/bcb/bde/a2449d523e6ec74f2bfb30725a31215be2-ChineseDissidents-NEW.rhorizontal.w1100.jpg) + +Wang Juntao in 1976 and today.

[Sign up here](https://nymag.com/promo/sign-up-for-one-great-story.html?itm_source=disitepromo&itm_medium=articlelink&itm_campaign=ogs_tertiary_zone) to get it nightly. + +A few days a week, Wang Juntao, a primary organizer of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and one of the worldโ€™s most renowned Chinese dissidents, travels from his home in New Jersey to his office in Flushing. He drives to the train station with the cheapest parking, then takes the path to the LIRR to Main Street, emerging to the whiff of fish and cigarettes and the roar of planes making their final approach to La Guardia. Skirting a stretch of street vendors and Falun Gong practitioners, Juntao cuts up 41st Avenue toward the weather-beaten headquarters of the Democratic Party of China, the organization he has led for more than a decade, dedicated to the overthrow of the [Chinese Communist Party](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/01/china-economy-property-bubble-reopening-zero-covid.html). + +New York has the greatest number of exiled Chinese activists in the world, and Flushing is the effective headquarters of the *minyun โ€”* the movement for democracy in the Peopleโ€™s Republic of China. The cause, which counted thousands of adherents in the period after Tiananmen, has dwindled in recent years to include perhaps a few hundred active dissidents. Juntaoโ€™s office is not a glamorous space. Located above a noodle shop and an internet cafรฉ, it has boxes piled in the entryway, and the bathroom doubles as storage for the old-school tools of protest: megaphones, signs, paintbrushes. + +Juntao usually sits in a folding chair at the head of a long table covered in fraying plastic. At 64, he is impish and disarming with a prominent comb-over and an even more prominent paunch. When I went to see him in Flushing recently, he pulled back a curtain to reveal shelves of wine and liquor and offered me a cup of red. โ€œIโ€™m a professional revolutionary,โ€ he said in a heavy Beijing accent. โ€œYou have to drink, you have to fight, you have to be tough.โ€ + +Being a dissident is โ€œa miserable life,โ€ Juntao told me after a couple of rounds. When he still lived in China, the Communist regime put him in prison twice, and for decades heโ€™s had only limited contact with his family to spare them official harassment. โ€œThe Chinese government hijacks your relatives,โ€ he said. โ€œIf you love them, you have to pretend not to love them.โ€ In Flushing, some of his fellow activists were now in their 70s and 80s, and every time they gathered, there seemed to be another empty seat. Meanwhile, the news from China brings constant reminders of the Communistsโ€™ increasingly authoritarian rule, from internment camps in Xinjiang province to mass surveillance powered by facial-recognition technology. For almost three full decades in exile, Juntao has kept alive the dream of a democratic revolution in China, but he is no closer to seeing it realized. + +This past March, Juntao was hit with back-to-back shocks. His closest friend and colleague in the *minyun*, Jim Li, whoโ€™d been by his side since before Tiananmen, was murdered. Two days later, another intimate member of their circle, Wang Shujun, was arrested by the Department of Justice and accused of spying on dissidents for Chinaโ€™s intelligence service. (Juntao and Shujun are not related.) When I first visited him, Juntao was reeling, trying to make sense of the killing and the alleged espionage. For months, he indulged a cloak-and-dagger theory that the two crimes were related. But even as he mourned, he remained optimistic about the push for Chinese democracy. His life, he said, has had โ€œfour ups and three downs.โ€ Even if the movement was at an ebb, it was only a matter of time before the political tide changed. โ€œWhen itโ€™s down, you cannot make a difference,โ€ he said in August. โ€œBut you can make a difference in yourself. And the difference in yourself will determine if youโ€™ll have a chance when itโ€™s up.โ€ Soon, he predicted, President [Xi Jinping](https://nymag.com/tags/xi-jinping/) would lose enough support that he would face a backlash. + +In the Chinese diaspora, that kind of faith is rare. Many would call it quixotic. In October, Xi secured an unprecedented third term as president, seeming to extinguish hopes of reform in the near future. It also seemed to validate a strategy favored by a new, postโ€“Tiananmen generation of activists: to abandon the idea of a widespread uprising and focus on more realistic goals, like persuading western companies to cut ties with factories in areas where ethnic minorities are being persecuted. + +Then, incredibly, Juntaoโ€™s prediction came true. In November, after ten residents of an apartment building in รœrรผmqi died in a fire, the Chinese internet lit up with accusations that Xiโ€™s stringent โ€œzero COVIDโ€ policies had made it hard for them to escape the blaze. Protesters filled streets across the country, from the industrial city of Zhengzhou to the elite Tsinghua University in Beijing. Some called for Xi to step down. It was fearless rhetoric of a kind nearly absent since Tiananmen, and shocking to anyone who has watched China embrace growth over political liberty and seen it crush dissent. + +The rallies belied everything the cynics and incrementalists thought they knew. Young protesters were waving signs and appearing maskless in front of police, risking their freedom and maybe their lives. Even more astonishing, the demonstrations seemed to work. Within ten days, the strongest authoritarian government in the world reversed course on one of its signature policies, abruptly easing lockdown restrictions. + +Juntaoโ€™s platitudes about keeping the democratic flame alive during the darkest hours suddenly felt true. And while political analysts were careful to note the limited scope of the civil disobedience, a new generation had learned the lesson Juntao has spent his life trying to impart: that change is always possible. The next time we met, in late November, he was buoyant, calling the eruption a โ€œturning point.โ€ + +He only wished Jim Li had lived to see it. + +Wang Juntao in Times Square. Photo: Alex Hodor-Lee + +Juntao grew up privileged on the campus of a Beijing military academy where his father was a high-ranking official. His name means โ€œbillowing wave of the army,โ€ and he imagined that one day he would be a great military figure. โ€œI dreamed of leading the Chinese army to defeat West Point graduates,โ€ he said. Juntao was 7 when the Cultural Revolution began in 1966, and he waved flags and sang songs as a dutiful Little Red Guard. But he also had a contrarian streak, devouring romantic *wuxia* epics in which wandering knights perform heroic deeds against daunting odds. In 1976, when a reported one million people filled Tiananmen Square to mourn the death of Zhou Enlai and criticize the so-called Gang of Four that had battled him for control of the government, Juntao led his high-school classmates in joining the demonstrations. Many of the protesters posted poems in the square, and the four Juntao put up are considered some of the most famous. One of them read, in part: โ€œI swear to slaughter the traitors to fulfill the wishes of my elders / Armed with high spirits, I have no fear of knives or axes.โ€ + +His poems angered several members of the Communist elite, including Mao Zedongโ€™s wife, and Juntao was jailed for 224 days *โ€”* one for every word. He told me he was โ€œproudโ€ and โ€œexcitedโ€ to spend his senior year in prison, recognizing the value of notoriety. โ€œI realized I would be very special,โ€ he said. He saw it as an opportunity to learn about aspects of society that were closed off to most people, and the other inmates showed him that it was possible to live outside the system, independent from the party. โ€œI learned a lot from those criminals,โ€ he said. + +It was a thrilling time to be a young democrat in China. After Deng Xiaoping began introducing market reforms in 1978, glimmers of liberal experimentation appeared: Villages began holding elections, and newspapers started investigating corruption. Peking University was the center of this political ferment, and after enrolling there to study nuclear physics, Juntao quickly established himself as a campus leader. By 1986, he had become a celebrity activist, and he took his organizing to Wuhan, where a friend introduced him to a law instructor named Jim Li. + +Jim*โ€”*who then went by his Chinese name, Jinjin *โ€”* also came from a family loyal to the Communists. Before they took over in 1949, his father had been a tailor. By the time Jim was born, in 1955, he was a teacher at the police academy of Hubei province on his way to becoming a department head. For a time, it looked like Jim would follow in his fatherโ€™s footsteps. He enlisted in the army at 15, serving as a telegraph operator, and later joined the Wuhan police department, assigned to catch pickpockets on city buses. But his politics changed at the Hubei College of Business and Finance, where he studied law and wrote a thesis on the U.S. Constitution. A professor who worked on Chinaโ€™s 1982 Constitution *โ€”* which introduced reforms like term limits*โ€”*showed him that changing the system was possible. Jim returned to Wuhan to teach, and upon meeting Juntao, he recognized a fellow idealist. They loved debating and drinking. Juntao was brash and provocative; Jim was serious and diligent, a scholar with a temper that could erupt unexpectedly. + +Juntao and Jim soon moved to Beijing. Juntao helped start a think tank and staffed it with political scientists, economists, and statisticians *โ€”* a bold new example of civil society existing independent of the [Communist Party](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/do-republicans-know-what-communism-is.html). Jim, who was lean and handsome with thick, expressive eyebrows, pursued a doctorate in law at Peking University, where he was elected president of the graduate-student body, a position that put him on the fast track to Party leadership. โ€œIf he had not joined the Tiananmen movement in 1989, his future would have been limitless,โ€ a fellow activist told me. + +In April 1989, after the death of Hu Yaobang, a liberal Party elder who had championed many of the countryโ€™s free-market reforms, students flooded into Tiananmen Square to demand wholesale change: accountability, due process, democracy. The protests lasted for weeks. As the crowds grew, Juntao, who was all but living at the square, began mediating between protesters and the government. He was a moderating force, ultimately trying to negotiate a deal in which the demonstrators would evacuate in return for the Party granting more independence to student publications, among other concessions. Meanwhile, Jim was working to organize a union called the Beijing Workersโ€™ Autonomous Federation. Aside from a group that had briefly operated in Taiyuan years before, it was the first independent labor organization in the country. โ€œOur old unions were welfare organizations,โ€ Jim told a young New York *Times* reporter named [Nicholas Kristof](https://www.nytimes.com/1989/05/26/world/upheaval-in-china-tide-turns-toward-chinese-hard-liner.html). โ€œBut now we will create a union that is not a welfare organization but one concerned with workersโ€™ rights.โ€ Jimโ€™s alliance scared Beijingโ€™s party elite: That same month in Poland, a similar coalition had successfully negotiated for reforms with the Communist government. + +On June 3, Jim got on his bike and headed toward Tiananmen for another night of protests. On the way, he heard gunshots and saw students running in the opposite direction, some injured and bloodied. The [Chinese military](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2015/09/china-shows-off-its-military-in-huge-parade.html) had opened fire on protesters, killing hundreds. Jim turned back. A memoir he wrote in 2009 offers no further details. + +Juntao tells his account of the atrocity sparingly, too. โ€œIโ€™m sick of talking about the past before I get to the future,โ€ he said. โ€œI have to focus on what Iโ€™m doing now.โ€ That night in Beijing, he was waiting to meet a friend at a hotel when word came of a shooting, and he asked his driver to take him to the scene. He saw wrecked cars and a protester whoโ€™d been shot dead. He spent the next few days trying to arrange escape routes for activists, then changed his clothes, permed his hair, and fled the city. + +After the massacre, the Communist Party rounded up as many protesters as it could. Many escaped the country, but thousands were arrested and an unknown number were executed. Jim was caught after a few days and sent to prison in Beijing on charges of โ€œcounterrevolutionary propaganda and incitement.โ€ In 1991, after 681 days behind bars, he was released when the government decided not to prosecute. He sold real estate and taught at small schools for two years, until the authorities allowed him to leave the country, along with his wife and son, and attend Columbia University. + +Juntao spent four months after Tiananmen on the lam, working under a fake name at a factory in a small mountain town. After his arrest, Premier Li Peng said at a Politburo meeting that Juntao โ€œmust be shown no mercy.โ€ Prosecutors accused him of being one of the โ€œblack handsโ€ manipulating the Tiananmen protesters and charged him with โ€œplotting to subvert the government.โ€ A show trial resulted in a sentence of 13 years for him and a colleague, Chen Ziming *โ€”* the longest of anyone involved. โ€œItโ€™s an absurdity,โ€ a Western diplomat told Kristof, who wrote about the case for the front page of the *Times*. โ€œThey needed somebody to blame for millions of people marching on the streets, and in public itโ€™s come down to blaming these two guys.โ€ + +In prison, Juntao contracted hepatitisโ€ฏB that went untreated for months. He agitated for proper medical care, writing letters to top officials and staging repeated hunger strikes. The authorities put him in solitary confinement to prevent him from influencing fellow prisoners, but it didnโ€™t work: The other inmates regarded him as a โ€œking,โ€ he told me. Even some guards treated him with respect, calling him โ€œNo. 2.โ€ (Chairman Mao was No. 1.) Juntao sent holiday cards to his interrogators, writing, โ€œI think of us as friends, not enemies.โ€ + +In 1994, after relentless petitioning by his then-wife, Hou Xiaotian, and international pressure on China to improve its human-rights record in exchange for trade privileges, Juntao was let out of prison early to seek medical treatment in the U.S. He immediately took a flight to New York and was so excited to begin his new life that he didnโ€™t sleep for 24 hours. + +Jim Li at Tiananmen Square in 1989. + +At Columbia, Jim found that the celebrity of his Tiananmen activism afforded him no great status. He and his family lived in an apartment near the university, and to make rent he delivered food for a Peking-duck restaurant. Later, they moved to the Midwest so Jim could get two degrees (a masterโ€™s of law and a doctorate) at the University of Wisconsin; eventually they settled in Queens, where they crammed into a one-bedroom apartment, sleeping on a borrowed mattress. + +Juntao spent three years at Harvard, where he earned a masterโ€™s in public administration, then got another masterโ€™s and a Ph.D. in political science at Columbia. When he and Jim finally reunited in New York, then in their late 30s, they picked up their boozy bull sessions, conspiring to influence Chinese politics from afar. Hou described the pair as โ€œlike brothers.โ€ They lobbied members of Congress to support fledgling pro-democracy groups in China and to pass resolutions promoting human rights there. A [1995 profile in the Washington *Post*](https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/magazine/1995/06/25/long-distance-dissident/e8301f9a-b8bb-4e49-a16b-311cd44326d8/) described Juntao briefing a group of representatives, including Nancy Pelosi, in a small room at the Capitol and laying out a complicated strategy to use the expected death of Deng Xiaoping to unite reformers within and without the Communist Party and trigger a democratic reckoning. + +In Flushing, Juntao and Jim organized events commemorating the anniversaries of the Tiananmen massacre and met with visiting Chinese dissidents. They teamed up to create advocacy groups, including the Chinese Constitutionalist Association and China Judicial Watch, and joined many more; Jim wrote the charter for the Federation for a Democratic China. But as one similar-sounding organization after another was founded, with similar personnel and similarly vague aims, China grew exponentially more powerful, navigating its way from global pariah to iPhone-making, Olympics-hosting juggernaut. The dissidents of the *minyun* had fiery rhetoric, but with Democratic and Republican administrations alike looking past human-rights issues to encourage investment, they were shouting in vain. + +Juntao and Jimโ€™s ambitions began to diverge. Juntao was an absolutist, always calling for total victory over the Communists. In 2010, he created a new branch of the Democratic Party of China *โ€”* an organization that had started 12 years earlier in Hangzhou, had been promptly banned, and was then claimed by at least half a dozen splinter groups in Flushing alone. Juntaoโ€™s iteration grew to eclipse the others, with a shifting roster of a few hundred members. Juntao began organizing weekly protests in New York and D.C., leading โ€œstudy sessionsโ€ for members to learn about democracy, and offering news analysis on Chinese-language talk shows. His office became a clubhouse and de facto social-services center for new immigrants. He dispensed advice about where to live, how to find a job, and which lawyers were most dependable. โ€œIโ€™m their priest,โ€ he said. โ€œI give them faith.โ€ + +Jim remained deeply opposed to the Communists. (Juntao recalls that Jim once saw an old couple dancing to a traditional Communist song in Chinatown and yelled, โ€œGo back to China, fuck you!โ€) But his true calling had always been the law, not politics. He started a legal practice in Flushing on a shoestring budget and soon developed a reputation as a rigorous attorney specializing in immigration, asylum, and sensitive โ€œRed Noticeโ€ cases protecting clients from being extradited to China. But he was a bad businessman, hiring friends and family and taking on too many cases for free. To attract more paying clients, Jim began attending social events hosted by a โ€œhometown committeeโ€ *โ€”* an organization friendly with the Communist Party. When his dissident allies objected, Jim told them, not very convincingly, that he was trying to influence the groupโ€™s politics from the inside. + +Within a few years, he had saved enough to buy a house in Jericho, Long Island, and taken up skiing and golf. When his parents immigrated, Jim bought a house for them, too, on a leafy street in Flushing. Jimโ€™s father, bitter that his sonโ€™s activism had hurt his career, often warned him not to do anything โ€œagainst China.โ€ Jim would reply that he was working not against China but against the Communist Party. Either way, Jim grew more moderate as he got older. In 2006, he co-founded the Hu Yaobang & Zhao Ziyang Memorial Foundation, an organization dedicated to persuasion and reform, not revolution. + +Jim also drifted to the right in U.S. politics. He voted for Donald Trump, largely because of his aggressive stance on China. On January 6, 2021, Jim posted on Twitter a video of the [insurrection at the Capitol](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/2021-insurrection-aftermath.html). He condemned the violence but objected to media descriptions of the crowd as a โ€œmob.โ€ โ€œWhen students occupied the Square in 1989, the Communist Party said they were thugs,โ€ he wrote in Chinese, adding, โ€œToday we are not trying to overthrow the American Constitution, we are just expressing it.โ€ + +Jim in 2020. Photo: Jim Li & Associates + +For younger Chinese activists, the Tiananmen generation is no longer the vanguard. In September, I went to Washington to visit Jewher Ilham, a prominent young advocate for Uyghur rights. On the fourth floor of a modern office building on K Street, Ilham, who is 28, explained how she helped persuade more than a dozen fashion brands to stop sourcing their products from Xinjiang province, where the government has reportedly operated forced-labor camps. โ€œSome of them freaked out, like, โ€˜Oh my God, what should we do?โ€™โ€‰โ€ she said. โ€œEither for ethical reasons or because theyโ€™re smart enough to see thereโ€™s a global trend thatโ€™s coming.โ€ + +Ilham, who works at the Worker Rights Consortium, left for the U.S. in 2013 after her father, the economist Ilham Tohti, was detained by police at the Beijing airport. Sheโ€™s since campaigned for his release and the fair treatment of Uyghurs, whose suppression by the Chinese government the U.S. has called a โ€œgenocide.โ€ When I mentioned the 1989 generation, she grew reticent. โ€œI think we work separately,โ€ she said diplomatically. โ€œThereโ€™s a gap.โ€ Some pro-democracy leaders have questioned aspects of the Uyghur-rights movement. Wei Jingsheng, who led the influential Democracy Wall movement in Beijing in 1978, has suggested, spuriously, that the Uyghurs have committed genocidal acts of their own; he has been accused by Uyghur activists of parroting Communist talking points about their history. + +Other younger dissidents are concerned more with practical, day-to-day issues than toppling the Party. At the McDonaldโ€™s on Flushingโ€™s Main Street, I spoke with Yang Zhanqing, 44, a leader of the โ€œrights defenseโ€ movement, which focuses on protecting Chinese citizens from land seizures, sex-based discrimination, and police abuse, using Chinese law to push back against the government. Yang and his cohort keep a purposely low profile. Whereas Juntaoโ€™s crew shouts in Times Square every weekend, Yang asked me not to mention details of his groupโ€™s recent activities, fearing retaliation. + +The Trump era only widened the rift between the *minyun*โ€™s old guard and the youth. Teng Biao, a human-rights activist and professor at the University of Chicago, says that many older dissidents support Trump because they adhere to a โ€œconservative brand of Western liberalism.โ€ Having come of age under Mao-style socialism, when enemies of the regime were labeled โ€œrightists,โ€ they came to associate the right with virtue and to conflate progressive ideas with authoritarianism. Now, when Teng goes out to dinner with friends, he says, โ€œwe have to consider, โ€˜Oh, this person is a Trump supporter, this person is not.โ€™ Thatโ€™s a big harm to the dissident community.โ€ + +A young Chinese feminist activist I spoke with did not even want to be mentioned in the same article as the *minyun*. โ€œWe donโ€™t see those people as our role models,โ€ they said. The generations may share some experiences of being persecuted by the Communists, they explained, โ€œbut if theyโ€™re expecting us to learn from them *โ€”* no.โ€ + +The activist also rolled their eyes at the old guardโ€™s relative disinterest in progressive causes like racial justice. When I asked Juntao about Black Lives Matter, he said he supports the idea but is concerned about โ€œsecurityโ€: โ€œIf you tie the policemanโ€™s hands, then criminals get their chance.โ€ Countless American-born boomers have fallen out of ideological step with millennials and Gen Z; itโ€™s that much harder for those speaking U.S. politics as a second language. + +But the *minyun* needs fresh blood to survive. That is why, early last year, when a young woman arrived in Flushing eager to join the movement, Juntao and Jim gave her a warm welcome. + +In January 2022, a 25-year-old named Zhang Xiaoning showed up at Jimโ€™s office and asked for a meeting. She said that sheโ€™d been raped by a police officer in Beijing and that when she filed a complaint, the government covered it up and put her in a mental institution. Zhang got out and flew to the U.S in August 2021. Sheโ€™d been trying to bring attention to her ordeal, protesting in front of the U.N. and the White House. Now she needed a lawyer to help her apply for political asylum. + +Jim was sympathetic but wary. Zhang seemed to have โ€œemotional problems,โ€ he wrote in a memo. But untreated mental-health issues are common in China, and while there were some discrepancies in Zhangโ€™s story *โ€”* in some paperwork, she complained of โ€œsexual harassmentโ€ instead of rape *โ€”* Jim trusted her. He agreed to take on Zhangโ€™s case for free. + +Over the coming weeks, they met several times to work on her asylum application, and Zhang acted more and more strangely, according to Jimโ€™s memo. She asked whether Jim felt guilty about participating in the pro-democracy movement, given the โ€œpainโ€ it had caused his family. The memo goes on to describe Zhang emailing him complaining about other members of the *minyun* and calling them dogs; one evening, according to the memo, she phoned Jim nine times, then sent an email calling him a โ€œloser.โ€ + +Zhang was living at a hostel on Kissena Boulevard in Flushing, sharing a room with several other women for around $450 a month, according to a fellow lodger named Victor. She had few possessions *โ€”* a handful of plastic bags and a coat *โ€”* and almost no money. She didnโ€™t use her real name when interacting with roommates, instead calling herself โ€œAn-An.โ€ Victor heard from the landlord that she was obsessed with Jim Li, showing pictures of the lawyer to her roommates and landlord and saying she was in love and wanted to marry him. (Jimโ€™s first marriage ended in divorce, and he later remarried. I never saw any evidence that he was romantically involved with Zhang.) + +On February 18, Zhang told Jim that the rape story was false. Sheโ€™d heard of such things happening to other women, she said, but it hadnโ€™t happened to her. Jim said he could no longer represent her. Zhang begged him to reconsider. Now that sheโ€™d publicly denounced the Communists, she would almost certainly be persecuted if she returned to China. In New York, sheโ€™d already been harassed by officials from the Chinese consulate, she said, and back home the Party had been giving her parents trouble. Having fabricated her case to boost her chances of winning asylum, she was now facing deportation โ€” a worst-case scenario. + +Zhang returned to Jimโ€™s office repeatedly to try to change his mind. On March 11, she lost her temper and allegedly tried to strangle him. An employee called the police, but when they arrived, Jim asked them to let Zhang go. Later that day, Zhang called Juntao, almost crying, and asked for help. Theyโ€™d spoken once before, and she knew that he and Jim were close. During an hour-and-a-half-long conversation, Juntao reassured her that she could make amends. All she had to do was bring Jim a dessert and apologize, he said, and the lawyer would come around. + +Juntao also suggested that Zhang join a protest he was planning for the next day. In Times Square, they met in person for the first time. Zhang was slight and nervous-looking, with rimless glasses. Wearing a blue face mask, she stood in front of a TKTS sign, raised a fist, and chanted, along with Juntao and a couple dozen others, โ€œFree, free China! Democracy China!โ€ At one point, Zhang removed her mask, exposing her face to the cameras. Juntao took it as a sign of her commitment and felt a surge of pride. + +The following Monday, March 14, Juntao was driving when a friend called to say that Jim had been attacked. Juntao pulled into a parking lot and called Jimโ€™s phone. No one answered, so he tried the office. Someone picked up and told him in a shaky voice that Jim was โ€œgone.โ€ + +Zhang had shown up at Jimโ€™s building that morning carrying a cake and saying she wanted to apologize *โ€”* just as Juntao had suggested. Jim invited her into his office. A few minutes later, the secretary heard them arguing, and then a shout. She opened the door to discover Jim in his swivel chair, covered in blood, with Zhang standing beside him holding a knife. Another employee charged in and restrained her while the secretary called 911. + +Jim was pronounced dead at the hospital. The next day, Zhang was charged with his murder. + +Wang Shujun. Photo: Alex Hodor-Lee + +The days following the homicide were filled with bewildering developments. Before Zhangโ€™s arraignment, a crowd of journalists and onlookers waited for her to exit the police station. As she passed the cameras, someone yelled, โ€œDo you regret what you did?โ€ Zhang shouted back, โ€œYouโ€™re the ones who should feel regret!โ€ As police wrestled her toward a waiting car, she called her critics โ€œtraitorsโ€ and accused them of โ€œkilling students.โ€ Her meaning was obscure, but many assumed she was blaming the *minyun* for the deaths of Chinese citizens killed by soldiers in 1989. + +On March 16, Juntao visited Jimโ€™s office, taking in the large brown bloodstain on the carpet and laying flowers at a makeshift shrine. Jimโ€™s employees told him they had found a strange clue: a couple of flags Zhang had left behind, representing China and the Communist Party. + +At almost the same moment, federal prosecutors in Washington held a press conference to announce the arrest of five men on charges of harassing and spying on Chinese dissidents in America. Juntao knew one of them well: Wang Shujun, a kindly historian who served as secretary general of the foundation Jim had led. According to the Department of Justice, since 2005, Shujun had been collecting intelligence for Chinaโ€™s ministry of state security about dissidents in New York *โ€”* which, if true, would almost certainly have included Jim. + +Shujunโ€™s arrest, combined with Zhangโ€™s perp walk and the flags, fueled wild theories about Jimโ€™s death. โ€œWhen the FBI was about to close the net on Wang Shujun and the foundation, Li Jinjin was suddenly silenced,โ€ one Twitter user wrote in Chinese, referring to Jim by his Chinese name. A local journalist wrote a song speculating about a connection: โ€œThey tell the press itโ€™s just a coincidenceโ€‰/โ€‰But denying the link to the murder makes no sense.โ€ + +When I met Juntao for dinner one night in April, he said heโ€™d concluded that Jim was assassinated. โ€œThe dissident community has a consensus that this is political murder,โ€ he said. Juntao said he believed the Party eliminated Jim because he was helping the U.S. government expose moles in the *minyun*. + +The notion that Beijing ordered Jimโ€™s killing is far-fetched. Nicholas Eftimiades, a former intelligence officer who studies Chinese espionage, said the odds of China sending an agent to assassinate an American citizen on U.S. soil are โ€œpretty, pretty slight.โ€ โ€œIf that was to become public, that would sink the relationship between the U.S. and China,โ€ he said. โ€œTheyโ€™re not stupid.โ€ When I presented this argument to Juntao, he took the classic conspiracist line: *Thatโ€™s what they want you to think.* If Zhang didnโ€™t behave like an assassin *โ€”* attacking Jim after several people saw her enter his office with no evident plan for escape *โ€”* that was just further proof of her professionalism. + +Like any good activist, Juntaoโ€™s superpower has always been his ability to see what others donโ€™t *โ€”* to imagine the world as different from what it is. But that skill has a flip side. At one point, Juntao admitted that he can talk himself into believing what he wants to be true. โ€œSometimes people like me confuse subjective impression with objective reality,โ€ he said. โ€œIf we believe something is true, itโ€™s actually based on our hope, not on reality.โ€ + +The more theorizing I heard from Jimโ€™s friends and colleagues, the more it started to sound like a form of grief. One reason his death hit the community so hard was that he didnโ€™t live to see a democratic China. Jimโ€™s peers were confronting the likelihood that they, too, wouldnโ€™t see it in their lifetimes. They were mourning not just a friend, but also the cause. + +After all theyโ€™d suffered, Jimโ€™s death needed to have meaning. If it had been a state-sanctioned assassination, then he died for a reason. The hardest thing to accept would be that he had died at the hands of a disturbed maniac *โ€”* in other words, for nothing. + +Zhang, who pleaded not guilty, is detained at Rikers Island while her case progresses. She wrote me two letters, in perfect penmanship, declining to answer questions. But she did say she was disillusioned with the *minyun*. Itโ€™s not hard to understand how someone in her position would be frustrated: Groups like Juntaoโ€™s Democratic Party of China promise to help immigrants apply for asylum and trot them out in front of cameras to denounce the Communist Party. If their applications fail, they might well feel trapped and desperate, unable to live in the U.S. legally and unable to return to China. + +Some of Juntaoโ€™s dissident peers have argued that this practice of boosting asylum applications in exchange for party dues and donations โ€” Juntao calls them optional โ€œthank-you giftsโ€ โ€” exploits immigrants and sullies the purity of the cause. Juntao bristles at this criticism, saying that even if new arrivals join his group for self-interested reasons, he can still persuade them to embrace democracy. He likewise rejects the argument that his entire project has failed because the Chinese Communist Party still rules. โ€œPeople blame us, saying China is still under the CCP. I say, โ€˜Who do you think Iโ€ฏam?โ€™ Iโ€™m not a rainmaker. Iโ€™m not a god,โ€ he told me once, in a rare flash of anger. โ€œIf someone says, โ€˜The CCP becomes stronger and stronger,โ€™ I say, โ€˜Your fault is much bigger than mine. I did my best, but you did nothing.โ€™โ€ + +If thereโ€™s no evidence that Zhang was a trained killer, the U.S. governmentโ€™s case that Wang Shujun is a Chinese operative is richly documented. So is the fact that the Peopleโ€™s Republic cares deeply about the activist scene in New York and commits extensive resources to monitoring it. In 2020, the Justice Department charged a New York police officer with gathering intelligence on the cityโ€™s Tibetan community for the Chinese government. (Prosecutors recently moved to drop the case, citing new, unspecified โ€œadditional information.โ€) In October, federal authorities accused a father and daughter living in Queens and on Long Island of participating in โ€œOperation Fox Huntโ€ *โ€”* a covert Chinese campaign to harass dissidents and other Chinese nationals and coerce them into returning to the mainland. And this month, the *Times* reported that the FBI had raided a suspected Chinese โ€œpolice outpostโ€ at a building on East Broadway, one of more than 100 such offices around the world that surveil the Chinese diaspora. + +Shujun was always more scholar than activist. After studying military history at one of Chinaโ€™s top academic institutions, he moved to New York in 1994. He published more than a half-dozen books of popular history, some of which sold well in Hong Kong and mainland China. In 2006, a dissident friend recommended him to serve as secretary general of the new Hu Zhao Foundation *โ€”* of which Jim was also a founding member *โ€”* and he accepted. According to the FBI, Shujun started collecting information about the activist community and passing it to Chinese officials. An indictment filed in May alleges that between 2005 and 2022, Shujun met with Ministry of State Security officers during trips to China, communicated with them on a messaging app, and shared information in the form of โ€œdiariesโ€ heโ€™d save to an email-drafts folder that Chinese agents could access. The indictment alleges that this amounts to conspiracy and failure to register as a foreign agent, among other crimes. (Shujun denies the charges and many details of the FBIโ€™s account. His lawyer, Kevin Tung, said, โ€œMy client maintains his innocence and would like a judge to decide his case.โ€) + +Some Flushing dissidents say they long suspected Shujun. โ€œHe didnโ€™t speak honestly,โ€ said one, Edmound Jiang, who thought Shujun treated him too much like a celebrity when he arrived in the United States. โ€œIt wasnโ€™t natural. Iโ€™m just a regular person.โ€ (Not long after we spoke, Jiang fell and died.) Juntao also doubted Shujunโ€™s loyalty, partly because he traveled to China regularly and partly because he would ask about the nitty-gritty of *minyun* activities. โ€œNobody cares about the details except a spy,โ€ Juntao said. + +In 2012, Juntao shared his concerns with Jim. They were planning to hold a conference (โ€œDeadlock, Breakthrough, and Chinaโ€™s Democratic Transformationโ€) with guests invited from around the world, including mainland China. Juntao was worried that the Chinese government would stop some of them from leaving the country, so he told Jim not to share the roster with Shujun. According to Juntao, Jim brushed him off. When the guests applied for permission to leave China, they were rejected. Juntao suspects Shujun alerted the authorities. (Shujun disputes this account, saying he did not see the guest list and that any rejections had nothing to do with him.) + +On July 31, 2021, while Shujun was staying at his daughterโ€™s house in Norwich, Connecticut, a young man knocked on the door. According to the DOJโ€™s version of events, when Shujun opened it, the man said he was sent by โ€œthe bossโ€ to deliver a message. Shujun invited him in. The man said โ€œheadquartersโ€ wanted to warn Shujun that the FBI had been monitoring him, and offered to help him delete his โ€œdiariesโ€ and other messages, according to the indictment. Shujun allegedly provided the young man with his passwords and told him to delete some of the diaries, but not so many that it would look suspicious. The young man *โ€”* an undercover FBI agent *โ€”* recorded the entire conversation. + +Months elapsed, and Shujun was not arrested; then, two days after Jim was killed, he was. The Justice Department declined to answer my question about whether the two events were related. + +On a sweltering morning in August, Iโ€ฏwent to Shujunโ€™s apartment in Flushing, where he is free on bail. In his dimly lit living room, he turned on a fan, set down three cups on a table beside me *โ€”* coffee, tea, and room-temperature Pepsi *โ€”* and sat in a chair directly opposite me, our knees almost touching. At times, he leaned in so far that our faces were only a foot or two apart. He spoke energetically, with large gesticulations, which, along with his thick black hair, made him seem younger than his 74 years. + +The DOJโ€™s case is all a big misunderstanding, Shujun told me. Sure, heโ€™s met three of the four MSS officers mentioned in the indictment. And yes, he did have multiple lunches with one who was helping Shujunโ€™s son-in-law in Hong Kong collect debts. But he never accepted money from them, he said, and the information he shared was all public. (On this last point, the DOJ disagrees.) Plus Shujun emphasized that it was his job to spread the news of pro-democracy activities. Jim had encouraged Shujun to tell Chinese officials about their work, he said. โ€œIf Li Jinjin were still alive, heโ€™d be my biggest defender.โ€ + +To my surprise, Juntao defended Shujun. Even if Shujun was taking money from the Communist Party, it probably wasnโ€™t for political reasons but rather as โ€œa business,โ€ Juntao said. โ€œItโ€™s the Chinese way,โ€ he said. And anyway, Juntao said, heโ€™d rather have an informant be someone he knows. That way, โ€œI control what kind of information they get.โ€ He said he still considers Shujun a friend who supports democracy. I found Juntaoโ€™s forbearance strange at first, but perhaps it makes sense for someone tired of losing friends. + +Jimโ€™s funeral in late March was an extravagant affair. Some 300 mourners gathered at the Chun Fook Funeral Home in Flushing, spilling out of the main room into the lobby, and countless wreaths and hand-painted poetry banners decorated the walls. + +Juntao hung off to the side with a huddle of activists, grousing. Jimโ€™s family wanted the ceremony to be strictly apolitical; in some ways, it even favored the Communist Party. The music was a dirge typically played at the funerals of party leaders, and at one point, a guest carrying a sign with the famous Tiananmen โ€œtank manโ€ photo was escorted out. A signed obituary circulated, listing Jimโ€™s legal colleagues above the pro-democracy crew. + +Some members of the *minyun* thought the sanitized occasion was an insult to everything Jim had believed. He may have lost some of his revolutionary zeal as he adapted to a life of home ownership and golf, but he still loathed the Communists. When Juntao went up to speak, he ignored the no-politics rule and gave a rousing eulogy praising Jimโ€™s quest for freedom and justice, invoking the memories of fellow dissidents and imagining a day when they could hold a public funeral for all of them back in China. + +Later, Juntao and his *minyun* colleagues held a second, explicitly political memorial. In an upstairs ballroom at a mall down the street from his office, they told stories about Jimโ€™s activism in Wuhan and Beijing and how heโ€™d kept up the fight in the United States. + +Absent from either ceremony was Jimโ€™s elderly mother, who lived just a mile away. After some discussion, Jimโ€™s friends and family had decided not to tell her that her son was dead. Instead, they told her he had gone abroad. + +All summer and fall, week after week, Juntao held his usual rallies in Washington and New York, unfurling the same banners and chanting the same slogans. After the breakthrough COVID protests swept across China in November, we met in his office one last time. I asked if the burst of public dissent vindicated his long-term approach to change. Juntao replied that every generation has to come by its democratic awakening organically, often after some experience of repression. โ€œSome ideas passed from us to them,โ€ he said. โ€œBut they may not even know.โ€ + +- [Chinaโ€™s Economic Model Is in Crisis (and Xi Knows It)](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/01/china-economy-property-bubble-reopening-zero-covid.html) +- [Ian Bremmer on How Putin, Xi, and Elon Musk Are Alike](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/01/on-with-kara-swisher-ian-bremmer-on-autocrats-elon-musk.html) +- [What Itโ€™s Like in China As Everyone Gets COVID](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/12/an-american-on-living-through-chinas-new-covid-outbreak.html) + +[See All](https://nymag.com/tags/china) + +The Radical, Lonely, Suddenly Shocking Life of Wang Juntao + +  +  + +--- +`$= dv.el('center', 'Source: ' + dv.current().Link + ', ' + dv.current().Date.toLocaleString("fr-FR"))` \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/00.03 News/The Return of James Cameron, Box Office King.md b/00.03 News/The Return of James Cameron, Box Office King.md index 7bb6196b..ad0d7d95 100644 --- a/00.03 News/The Return of James Cameron, Box Office King.md +++ b/00.03 News/The Return of James Cameron, Box Office King.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- -Tag: ["Art", "๐ŸŽฅ", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ"] +Tag: ["๐ŸŽญ", "๐ŸŽฅ", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ"] Date: 2022-12-04 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/The Richest Black Girl in America.md b/00.03 News/The Richest Black Girl in America.md index 4be28bea..78df25cc 100644 --- a/00.03 News/The Richest Black Girl in America.md +++ b/00.03 News/The Richest Black Girl in America.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- -Tag: ["Society", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ", "Segregation", "๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿพโ€๐Ÿฆฑ"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿคต๐Ÿป", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ", "Segregation", "๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿพโ€๐Ÿฆฑ"] Date: 2022-05-27 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/The Science of How Alive You Really Are Alan Turing, Trees, and the Wonder of Life.md b/00.03 News/The Science of How Alive You Really Are Alan Turing, Trees, and the Wonder of Life.md index 9dae9a00..48b79256 100644 --- a/00.03 News/The Science of How Alive You Really Are Alan Turing, Trees, and the Wonder of Life.md +++ b/00.03 News/The Science of How Alive You Really Are Alan Turing, Trees, and the Wonder of Life.md @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ --- Alias: [""] -Tag: ["Human", "Philosophy", "Morphogenesis", "Turing"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿซ€", "Philosophy", "Morphogenesis", "Turing"] Date: 2022-02-26 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/The Second Elizabethan Age Has Ended.md b/00.03 News/The Second Elizabethan Age Has Ended.md index 68a16467..4121ae01 100644 --- a/00.03 News/The Second Elizabethan Age Has Ended.md +++ b/00.03 News/The Second Elizabethan Age Has Ended.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- -Tag: ["Society", "๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง", "๐Ÿ‘‘"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿคต๐Ÿป", "๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง", "๐Ÿ‘‘", "๐Ÿชฆ"] Date: 2022-09-11 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/The Secret Weapons of Ukraine.md b/00.03 News/The Secret Weapons of Ukraine.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..eae6669d --- /dev/null +++ b/00.03 News/The Secret Weapons of Ukraine.md @@ -0,0 +1,444 @@ +--- + +Tag: ["๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ/๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ", "๐Ÿช–"] +Date: 2023-02-26 +DocType: "WebClipping" +Hierarchy: +TimeStamp: 2023-02-26 +Link: https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a42929480/ukraine-secret-weapons/?src=longreads&mc_cid=4f225baf6b&mc_eid=1d7ab8063f +location: +CollapseMetaTable: true + +--- + +Parent:: [[@News|News]] +Read:: [[2023-03-01]] + +--- + +  + +```button +name Save +type command +action Save current file +id Save +``` +^button-TheSecretWeaponsofUkraineNSave + +  + +# The Secret Weapons of Ukraine + +## ON THE ROAD + +The air-raid siren sounded again through the defiant city, but William McNulty refused to be bothered by it. After a long morning of meetings in Kyiv with Ukrainian partners in need of medical tourniquets and cold-weather clothing, the man had earned an afternoon nap. The air flowing through the hotel roomโ€™s open window nipped of brittle autumn, and sunlight was leaking through gray clouds; winter, as the Ukrainians liked to quip, was coming. + +*Fuck it,* McNulty thought. The chances of getting hit by a drone strike in a city of three million people seemed low. A U.S. Marine veteran from Chicago whoโ€™s served in Iraq and done humanitarian work in dozens of conflict and natural-disaster zones, heโ€™s grown numb to the frequent sirens that are now a mainstay of life in Ukraine. Since Russiaโ€™s latest invasion began in February of last year, heโ€™s traveled throughout the country, by train and van, to rural villages and the front, delivering supplies to those fighting at democracyโ€™s edge. His nonprofit group, Operation White Stork, makes no quibble about supporting Ukraine in the war. Heโ€™s had his fill of messy wars and ambiguous purposes. He believes this is it, the real deal, the righteous cause that people of action always not-so-secretly crave. + +![civilians train with military instructors at an abandoned factory outside kyiv on january 30, 2022 target practice with dark horse allies](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/benjamin-busch-esq030122ukraine-008-1677011574.jpg?resize=2048:* "civilians train with military instructors at an abandoned factory outside kyiv on january 30, 2022 target practice with dark horse allies") + +Target practice with Dark Horse Allies. + +Benjamin Busch + +Even altruists need sleep, though. So McNulty, forty-five, lay on his bed, shut his eyelids, and focused, as much as he could, on rest. Then came a strident hum. It cut through the sirens, then over them, braying and obnoxious, like a great lawn mower in the sky. It kept nearing and nearing. Then it passed directly over McNultyโ€™s hotel. + +โ€œThat was enough for me,โ€ he recalls days later, as we drive somewhere along the black ribbon of highway between Kyiv and the port city of Odesa in the far south. He identified the noise as the engine of an Iranian-made Shahed kamikaze drone, one of many Russia has used to terrorize Ukraineโ€™s civilian population over the past few months. He dared move only when the noise had faded out and there was nothing but air-raid siren again. To McNultyโ€™s fortune, another target had been selected in Kyiv that afternoon in mid-October. โ€œI headed down to the shelter room. Then we went out and ate at a nice Italian place.โ€ + +In the language of this new war, McNulty is a โ€œvolunteer,โ€ one of roughly tens of thousands of internationals and local Ukrainians whoโ€™ve devoted themselves to supporting the resistance against the Russian military. The roles they play vary widely, from humanitarians like McNulty to social-media celebrities fundraising for military units. There are brash foreign fighters and humble food drivers and furtive gunrunners and ancient babushkas knitting camouflage ghillie suits in community gyms. Some are volunteers in the literal sense, burning through their savings to subsidize their work. Some earn a small stipend; still others are profiteers who see nothing wrong with benefiting financially amid a nationโ€™s war for survival. Itโ€™s proven dangerous work, tooโ€”in January, two British volunteers were killed attempting to evacuate an elderly civilian. In February, American Pete Reed, another Marine veteran, was killed when an antitank missile hit his ambulance. For all the differences in type and approach, the volunteer movement is unified by a core belief that this is a fight worth fighting, that Ukraine is worth defending. + +![civilians train with military instructors at an abandoned factory outside kyiv on january 30, 2022](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/benjamin-busch-esq030122ukraine-016-1677011639.jpg?resize=2048:* "civilians train with military instructors at an abandoned factory outside kyiv on january 30, 2022") + +Freshly dug graves in Lviv. + +Benjamin Busch + +Itโ€™s a belief I happen to agree with. In late February 2022, I joined two friends, fellow combat veterans, in Lviv, in western Ukraine. We spent two weeks training a group of civilians in combat basics and self-defense. It was a frightening and thrilling and inspiring experience, and then we returned home to America, to our families, as the war progressed and endured. Others went forward. With interest and perhaps a bit of envy, I watched the volunteers of Ukraine coalesce and organize through the summer and into the early autumn. Then, this past fall, I decided to go back, for three weeks, joined by one of the other trainers from February, Marine veteran Ben Busch. We wanted to see the volunteer ecosystem thatโ€™s developed and to meet some of the people whoโ€™ve upended their lives for it. + +In the White Stork van on the road, McNulty turns to look at me. He has stony blue eyes and the shaky, aid-worker gaze of those hyper-acquainted with injustice. The back of the van overflows with first-aid kits for Ukrainian army and Territorial Defense units weโ€™ll meet in the coming days. My narrow ass is wedged between boxes of decompression needles, chest seals, and hundreds of heavy-duty shovels. Getting the shovels to the front before the winter freeze is especially important. Itโ€™s hard to dig trenches in ice. + +โ€œThis warโ€™s weird, man,โ€ McNulty says. โ€œChanges every week. But not once have I asked myself, *Are we doing the right thing?*โ€ + +We settle into a mellow silence. The van rolls smooth. Harvested fields of sunflower, wheat, and corn run along our sides. A falling sun traces them with clean light. For these minutes, here, the war breathes easy. For these minutes, here, the war seems faraway and calm. + +Calm is a mirage. Itโ€™s not the same as peace.

For many minutes the mother refuses to. A framed photograph leaning against the memorialโ€™s cross shows a cheerful young man with big ears hugging a handsome rottweiler.

Dozens upon dozens were massing along the Polish and Romanian borders, or gathering in western Ukrainian cities like Lviv, or already making their way to Kyiv, the capital, which was under assault and a personal obsession of Putin himself. + +Some of these folks were who they said they were.

Nearly all of Fisherโ€™s trainers are veterans of NATO militaries, and some fought in the preceding months on the zero line with Ukraineโ€™s International Legion, a military unit composed of foreign fighters. โ€œThere have been a number of yahoos that came over saying, โ€˜Iโ€™m a military trainer,โ€™ but they donโ€™t know what theyโ€™re doing.โ€ + +Fisherโ€™s description of this natural process of attrition is echoed by Josh, an American who arrived in April and is serving in the International Legion. (Josh requested to not use his full name for security purposes.) A Marine veteran in his mid-twenties who served in Syria, Josh was seriously wounded fighting in a northeastern village in Kharkiv Oblast in late September by shrapnel from a Russian artillery round. I ask him about concerns that political extremists are going to Ukraine to gain battle credentials that they can utilize in domestic movements. โ€œAll those bitches got weeded out quick,โ€ he says. โ€œMaybe one or two have hacked it here and there, but if youโ€™re not here because you actually believe in this fight, itโ€™ll show on the ground. Fuck them.โ€ + +Everyoneโ€™s story is different. Everyoneโ€™s story is a little the same. Certain traits and patterns recur as we meet more volunteers. Most are men, though not all. Many of the younger ones served during the tail end of the war on terror and didnโ€™t get the combat experience theyโ€™d anticipated or perhaps wanted. Some of the older ones sold their businesses or homes to sustain their work. More than a few are living off military pensions or disability checks.

He appreciates the straightforwardness of their humanitarian work and the plainness of his directives: โ€œDonโ€™t crash the van; deliver the goods.โ€ + +Cormier got a residency permit that lets him stay in the country for longer stretches to better help with the war effort. โ€œA lot of people come here looking for meaning,โ€ he says. โ€œSome of us have found it.โ€ + +Weโ€™re at a seaside restaurant in Odesa, watching dusk spill over glassy blue water.

A U.S. Army vet killed in May, Stephen Zabielski, was fighting with a group called the Wolverines, according to *Rolling Stone*. Another Army vet, Joshua Jones, was killed in August; heโ€™d fought with both the Legion and a Canadian-led militia known as the Norman Brigade.

Erik and a Ukrainian counterpart broke down the front door and tossed in some grenades, then Erik entered. Two grenades met him inside in return, spraying his body with fragmentation. A Canadian legionnaire dragged him to the bathroom, near the entryway, where they were able to maintain something like security because of the angles of the building.

While Taylor was discussing his hand in devising the first spacecraft to land on a comet, many viewers fixated not on his accomplishment but on the sexism that his shirt supposedly evinced. Soon, `#shirtgate` and `#shirtstorm` were trending on Twitter. More recently, aggrieved TikTok users heaped abuse on a man dubbed West Elm Caleb, a furniture designer in the unfortunate habit of wooing and then ignoring women on dating apps. Commenters began by chastising him for his disrespectful behavior, but before long they were calling on his employer to fire him.

[Learn more](https://www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca) + +The Fly was one of the first people I saw when I walked into my housing unit at the federal prison in Ashland, Kentucky. He was cooking something in the dayroom microwave, patting his belly, having a good enough time, it seemed. His celly was his own brother. They were both from the Midwest, via Mexico, these brothers were, and they were both in for something to do with cocaine. By the time I showed up, though, their principal business had shifted. They were storemen. Solid ones. Two of the all-time greats. + +In prison, you could eat at the chow hall three times a day and live on that, but you would be hungry. The food was mostly carbohydrates, oftentimes stale. The chicken quarters were said to be expired crocodile food, irradiated so as to be safe to eat. The first day, you couldnโ€™t touch any of it. Nobody could come in cold off the street and dig into the baked fish. You had to undergo a process. You went to jail. You got hungry. You got hungrier. Then you ate. Still, even after this process, sometimes you didnโ€™t want to eat at the chow hall, or sometimes you couldnโ€™t because you had to be somewhere else during โ€œfeeding.โ€ So, if you had any money on your book โ€” your inmate account โ€” you went to the prison commissary. The trouble was that you could go to the commissary only once a week. That was why storemen, like the Fly, existed. + +The Fly and his brother ran the most legit store in the housing unit, if not on the entire compound, selling commissary food at a markup. Need freeze-dried coffee? Or a bag of Nilla Wafers? A legal pad? See the storeman. You could do a lot with storeman food. Crush up a bag of Nilla Wafers extra fine, pour it into a bowl, add a can of Pepsi and some hot-cocoa mix, stir in a glob of no-refrigeration-needed mayonnaise, microwave it for 13 minutes, and then, *presto!*, you had a cake that actually resembled a cake. + +> Twelve-packs of Pepsi, Little Debbie snack cakes, mackerel in a mylar pouch, summer sausage: this is what holds the U.S. carceral state together. + +Many guys tried to be storemen. It was considered one of the better hustles, preferable to cutting hair or fixing shoes. It wasnโ€™t passive income but the closest thing to it. Plus, the cops โ€” the corrections officers โ€” were in no hurry to wreck a storemanโ€™s hustle, since the whole point of having a commissary was to keep the prisoners content enough that they wouldnโ€™t burn down the place. Twelve-packs of Pepsi, Little Debbie snack cakes, mackerel in a Mylar pouch, summer sausage: this is what holds the U.S. carceral state together. And, since storemen made commissary food accessible to prisoners who had little or no money on their book, the cops usually tolerated them, provided that they dealt only in commissary and, to a lesser degree, postage stamps. The problem was that being a storeman required start-up capital, hence many guys failed or never got started. + +The Fly and his brother were particularly good storemen because, at some inconvenience and expense, they kept a larger inventory than most others. The Fly handled advertising. He stayed busy cooking in the dayroom, making whatever it was look nice, like you were missing out if you were above some microwave cooking. That first time I saw him, he was using brown rice, giardiniera peppers, and Tapatรญo from the commissary, plus chicken, cheese, an onion, and a green pepper from the kitchen. At Christmastime, he made tamales with spicy corn chips that he smashed up and turned into shells and filled with kitchen cheese and pork. His brother, who kept the books, so to speak, was usually posted up in a chair by their cell door on the top tier, across from the Spanish TV mounted to the dayroom wall. + +If you were a storeman, you couldnโ€™t do much business if you werenโ€™t around, so either you or somebody you trusted needed to stay in the housing unit all day. The Fly and his brother took orderly jobs so they wouldnโ€™t have to leave for long periods. They would sweep or mop the housing unit, say โ€” some low-wage job they could usually pay someone else to do for them so they could focus on the store. The Fly did get outside sometimes, though. Whenever we organized a soccer league in the late summer or early fall, he would show up at the end of games to sell sodas to thirsty players walking off the field, stashing whatever stamps he earned in his hat. + +## Get the best stories from our magazine every month + +Sign up for our email newsletter + +Postage stamps were the currency. Each week, you could buy 20 Forever Stamps, what we called mailers, at the commissary and spend them like cash. But we mostly used compound stamps โ€” worn-out first-class mailers, worth about 30ยข a piece. When the Fly and his brother were running things, you could get a Zebra Cake for two compound stamps, or 60ยข. A new box from the commissary cost $1.75 for six cakes, so 30ยข each. That was what they would have paid for it, so their markup was about 100%. Those prices werenโ€™t predatory, though, not given their overhead and labour. + +I bought stamps with the $45 a month I made from my prison jobs teaching the GED and, later, clerking in the Adult Continuing Education program. I wasnโ€™t breaking rocks, but it was work. My folks, bless their hearts, also put money on my book. I took their money and felt ashamed. But someone on the outside โ€” an aged mother, a long-suffering wife โ€” carried the financial burden for a lot of prisoners, who would have been far worse off otherwise. Even basics, like underwear and toothpaste, cost money in prison. Some guys were sent no cash. Thatโ€™s really doing time. I didnโ€™t do time like that. + +> Not having many things was fucking marvelous. Basically everything you owned could fit into a three-foot-tall box. + +It was a low-security prison. Not a minimum. Not a medium. Not a high. A low. And to be at a low, you canโ€™t have more than 20 years. I was behind bars for eight and a half years, during which time the overall zeitgeist among the cops ran to โ€œfuck the prisoners over and fuck them relentlessly.โ€ I heard someone (I forget who) say that in prison, and I remember thinking, *Thatโ€™s well said*. Most of us arrived when we were relatively young, serving a dime apiece or so. The guys with the real football numbers, theyโ€™re up in the mediums and the highs. Theyโ€™re the ones with nothing to lose, so the cops canโ€™t fuck with them too much. But we did have something to lose โ€” our release dates โ€” so they screwed with us plenty. + +Sometimes you could peel off and reuse a stamp from a letter if the post office failed to cancel it. Once, before mail call, a cop โ€” a real Mister Your Tax Dollars At Work โ€” went through every envelope and crossed out any stamp the post office had missed, lest a prisoner whoโ€™s literally impoverished come upon it and put it toward the purchase of a soup from the storeman. This was a foul thing to do, because (a) it was a waste of time and (b) there is a God in heaven and to engage in such petty bullshit profanes the sacred gift of life. But the cops, as a rule, could not give less of a shit about being decent to the prisoners. + +The Fly and his brother, in contrast, were almost always decent. They were bankers as much as vendors, happy to loan you 10 stamps, say, to get a haircut in the housing unit. (If you paid less than 10 stamps, you werenโ€™t getting a haircut that you couldnโ€™t have given yourself, provided you were able to track down clippers.) + +Unlike bankers, the brothers didnโ€™t charge interest on loans, but if you ran credit with them, they would give you a list the night before your commissary day. If you owed, say, two books of stamps, that was 40 compound stamps, or $12. The Flyโ€™s brother would say, โ€œCan you get me a 12-pack ofโ€ฆDiet Mountain Dew?โ€ Of course, you would say. โ€œAnd,โ€ he would say, checking his inventory, โ€œcan you get me...three boxes of Swiss rolls and three soups?โ€ Ideally, you wouldnโ€™t say no. If you wanted to be sure that you could borrow stamps in the future, you wouldnโ€™t say no. + +The commissary was open four days a week, three if there was a federal holiday. It was by the back gate. When your day came, you stood outside in one of two lines, waiting for the doors to open. It would be raining, because it would always be raining on your store day, and if it wasnโ€™t raining, it would be the hottest day of summer. + +Once you got inside, you stood in line until you reached a small opaque window. Youโ€™d filled out a list ahead of time, writing down whatever you wanted for yourself and needed for the storeman. You put the piece of paper in a slot beneath the window and left it there. Eventually, a cop behind the window called your name, and you stepped up to the counter. Toothpaste, underwear, Swiss rolls, soups, stamps, typing ribbon, mackerel: it all came out through a gap under the window. After the cop rang up everything and subtracted the total from your book, he slid out your bullshit. If you were getting more than you could carry with two hands, you put it in a laundry bag. Back at the housing unit, your first stop was to see the brothers to settle up. If neither was home, you left the bullshit in their cell. Theyโ€™d know. It was an easy enough thing. You could count on it to be alright. + +> When youโ€™re headed to prison for a decade or so, you have to assume that whatever relationship you have on the outside will wither and die. + +Prison wasnโ€™t all bad. I donโ€™t want to bad-mouth it all the way, because I liked it sometimes. Not having many things was fucking marvelous. Basically everything you owned, excluding your three uniforms and a bedroll, could fit into a three-foot-tall box. What youโ€™d lost you made up for in other ways. You could focus so intently on a photograph that you basically lived in it whenever you looked at or even thought about it. + +Losing people was harder than losing stuff. When youโ€™re headed to prison for a decade or so, you have to assume that whatever relationship you have on the outside will wither and die. Knowing this, some people will go back to jail just to make a clean break. The Fly was a romantic, though. He didnโ€™t see it coming. When his wife finally got around to divorcing him, he lost his shit. He was placed on suicide watch, and by the time the prison let him off, he was taking a number of medications. + +The last time I saw the Fly, I was in the law library, working on a [novel](https://www.amazon.ca/Cherry-novel-Nico-Walker/dp/0525520139). The Fly knew that he was leaving, that the prison was shipping him somewhere else. He didnโ€™t tell me the reason why. He only wanted to shoot the breeze one last time. We used to watch TV together. We both liked soccer and the telenovela *Quรฉ Pobres tan Ricos*. But his meds had him zooted as fuck, and he wasnโ€™t the same. He was hurting. + +I was playing Modest Mouse on an MP3 player, one Iโ€™d bought for $70 in the commissary but that would have cost $29 on the street. The Fly wanted to know what I was listening to. He didnโ€™t know Modest Mouse, so I gave him the earbuds. โ€œYeah, man,โ€ he said, listening. โ€œFucking rock and roll!โ€ He was kidding around, talking real loud, but he sounded fucked up and sad. His demeanour was fatalistic in a way it hadnโ€™t been before, as if something in him had given out. + +It wasnโ€™t long after that that the Fly did get shipped out. I forget where he went. His brother was down about it. โ€œI tried to tell him weโ€™re lucky,โ€ he said. And they were lucky โ€” to have been in the same prison, in the same housing unit, in the same cell. + +With the Fly gone, his brother got sloppy, taking chances he wouldnโ€™t have otherwise. Then one day there was a shakedown, one of those where a dozen cops roll in before the 6 AM rec move, kick all the prisoners out into the yard, and proceed to tear shit up, looking for contraband. This time they found a phone in the brotherโ€™s cell. We were all out on the yard when the cops came deep and snatched him up. They took him away, and none of us saw him again. Nobody liked that. We were there to get fucked, though, so thatโ€™s what they did. They fucked him and they fucked us. They were relentless about that. โ™ฆ + +\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ + +**Wealthsimple Favourites** + +- [โ€œMy Finances, in Brief,โ€](https://www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/magazine/david-sedaris-money-diaries) an Essay by David Sedaris + +- Karen Russell on [writing, money, and motherhood](https://www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/magazine/karen-russell) + +- [โ€œThe Code That Controls Your Money,โ€](https://www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/magazine/cobol-controls-your-money) by Clive Thompson + + +![Nico Walker](https://images.ctfassets.net/v44fuld738we/2QyGEMYbxLrZwophYavdSw/e14d791cac0f0340be75fb62548c8ff9/2155067__1_.jpeg) + +*Nico Walker is the author of the novel* [Cherry](https://www.amazon.ca/Cherry-novel-Nico-Walker/dp/0525520139). + +The content on this site is produced by Wealthsimple Media Inc. and is for informational purposes only.

Her grandmother was an astonishing woman. She raised seven children on a plantation in Louisiana, chopping sugarcane, boiling laundry in hot cauldrons, and cooking and cleaning, not only for her family but for the white family that owned the land. There was no school for Black children, but Estella taught Octavia Margaret enough to read and write. As far as Butler could tell, her grandmotherโ€™s life wasnโ€™t far removed from slavery โ€” the only difference was she had worked hard enough and saved enough money to move everyone out west during the Great Migration, to Pasadena, California, in the early 1920s. + +Octavia Margaret worked from an early age; she attended school in California but was pulled out after a few years to help earn money. When Butler was very young, her family used to โ€œstay on the place,โ€ meaning they lived on the property of the family they worked for. Her father, Laurice James Butler, worked as a shoeshiner and died when she was 3 years old. Later, her mother would rent a spot for the two of them in Pasadena and work as a day laborer for wealthy white women. Octavia Margaretโ€™s dream was to have her own place where she could tend her garden. She was quiet and deeply religious, and she read Butler bedtime stories until she was 6, at which point she said, โ€œHereโ€™s the book. Now you read.โ€ + +In her family, Butler went by Junie, short for Junior, and in the world, she went by Estelle or Estella to avoid confusion for people looking for her mother. As a girl, she was shy. She broke down in tears when she had to speak in front of the class. Her youth was filled with drudgery and torment. The first time she remembered someone calling her โ€œuglyโ€ was in the first grade โ€” bullying that continued through her adolescence. โ€œI wanted to disappear,โ€ she said. โ€œInstead, I grew six feet tall.โ€ The boys resented her growth spurt, and sometimes she would get mistaken for a friendโ€™s mother or chased out of the womenโ€™s bathroom. She was called slurs. It was the only time in her life she really considered suicide. + +She kept her own company. In her elementary-school progress reports, one teacher wrote that โ€œshe dreams a lot and has poor concentration.โ€ That was true. She did dream a lot, and she began to write her dreams down in a large pink notebook she carried around with her. โ€œI usually had very few friends, and I was lonely,โ€ Butler said. โ€œBut when I wrote, I wasnโ€™t.โ€ By the time she was 10, she was writing her own worlds. At first, they were inspired by animals. She loved horses like those in *The Black Stallion.* When she saw an old pony at a carnival with festering sores swarmed by flies, she realized the sores had come from the other kids kicking the animal to make it go faster. Childrenโ€™s capacity for cruelty stayed with her. She went home and wrote stories of wild horses that could shape-shift and that โ€œmade fools of the men who came to catch them.โ€ + +She found a refuge at the Pasadena Public Library, where she leaped into science fiction. She especially liked Theodore Sturgeon, Ursula K. Le Guin, Frank Herbertโ€™s *Dune,* and Zenna Henderson, whose book *Pilgrimage* she would buy for her friends to read. She was a comic-book nerd: first DC and then Marvel. When she was 12 years old, she watched *Devil Girl From Mars,* a black-and-white British science-fiction movie about a female alien commander named Nyah who has mind-control powers, a vaporizing ray gun, and a tight leather outfit with a cape that touches the floor. Butler thought she could come up with a better story than that, so she began to write her own: temporary escape hatches from a life of โ€œboredom, calluses, humiliation, and not enough money,โ€ as she saw it. โ€œI needed my fantasies to shield me from the world.โ€ + +**1962:** Octavia at 15. Photo: Octavia E. Butler Estate + +When she learned she could make a living doing this, she never let the thought go. Later, she would call it her โ€œpositive obsessionโ€ and would put it all on the line. Her motherโ€™s youngest sister, who was the first in the family to go to college, became a nurse. Despite her familyโ€™s warnings, she did exactly what she wanted to do. That same aunt would tell Butler, โ€œNegroes canโ€™t be writers,โ€ and advise her to get a sensible job as a teacher or civil servant. She could have stability and a nice pension, and if she really wanted to, she could write on the side. โ€œMy aunt was too late with it, though,โ€ Butler said. โ€œShe had already taught me the only lesson I was willing to learn from her. I did as she had done and ignored what she said.โ€ + +Butler would grow up to write and publish a dozen novels and a collection of short stories. She did not believe in talent as much as hard work. She never told an aspiring writer they should give up, rather that they should learn, study, observe, and persist. Persistence was the lesson she received from her mother, her grandmother, and her aunt. In her lifetime, she would become the first published Black female science-fiction writer and be considered one of the forebears of Afrofuturism. โ€œI may never get the chance to do all the things I want to do,โ€ a 17-year-old Butler wrote in her journals, now archived at the Huntington Library in Pasadena. โ€œTo write 1 (or more) best sellers, to initiate a new type of writing, to win both the Nobel and the Pulitzer prizes (in reverse order), and to sit my mother down in her own house before she is too old and tired to enjoy it.โ€ The world would catch up to her dreams. In 2020, *Parable of the Sower* would hit the best-seller list 27 years after its initial publication and 14 years after Butlerโ€™s death. After years of imitation, Hollywood has put adaptations of nearly all of her novels into development, beginning with a *Kindred* show coming to Hulu in December. She is now experiencing a canonization that had only just begun in the last decade of her life. + +โ€œI never bought into my invisibility or non-existence as a Black person,โ€ Butler wrote in a journal entry in 1999. โ€œAs a female and as an African-American, I wrote myself into the world. I wrote myself into the present, the future, and the past.โ€ For Butler, writing was a way to manifest a person powerful enough to overcome the circumstances of her birth and what she saw as her own personal failings. Her characters were brazen when she felt timid, leaders when she felt she lacked charisma. They were blueprints for her own existence. โ€œI can write about ideal meโ€™s,โ€ she wrote on the cusp of turning 29. โ€œI can write about the women I wish I was or the women I sometimes feel like. I donโ€™t think Iโ€™ve ever written about the woman I am though. That is the woman I read and write to get away from. She has become a victim. A victim of her upbringing, a victim of her fears, a victim of her poverty โ€” spiritual and financial. She is a victim of herself. She must climb out of herself and make her fate. How can she do this?โ€ + +**1970:** Butler, 23, with her classmates at Clarion West Workshop. Photo: Clarion West + +**Butler was on** the 6 p.m. Greyhound bus in Pittsburgh heading home from the Clarion Workshop for science-fiction writers. She felt proud of the past six weeks. She had just turned 23, and Clarion was the first time she was taken seriously as a writer. After graduating from high school, she had continued to live at home while attending Pasadena City College. She exhausted the creative-writing classes there and the extension classes at UCLA, where a teacher had once asked her, โ€œCanโ€™t you write anything normal?โ€ She got into a screenwriting class at the Open Door Workshop through the Writerโ€™s Guild of America, where she met the writer Harlan Ellison. She knew his work well, particularly his anthology *Dangerous Visions,* which was part of a literary, more socially minded turn in the genre. He later said she โ€œcouldnโ€™t write screenplays for shitโ€ but knew she was talented and encouraged her to go to Clarion, even giving her some money. + +Clarion was the farthest Butler had ever been from home and required a three-day cross-country trip to get there. Adjusting was difficult at first. Western Pennsylvania was hot, humid, and lonely. The radio stations stopped playing at eight. When the other students socialized, she wrote letters to her friends and mother โ€” six in the first week. Epistolary writing was a way to unload and unblock herself and, at least at Clarion, to feel less isolated. โ€œWrite me and prove that there are still some Negroes somewhere in the world,โ€ she wrote to her mother early on. Ellison did tell her there would be one Black teacher there: Samuel Delany, who at 28 was a literary wunderkind. Heโ€™d published nine novels by then, winning the Nebula Award โ€” the fieldโ€™s highest honor โ€” for Best Novel two years in a row. When Butler saw him for the first time, she told him he looked like a wild man from Borneo. (She probably shouldnโ€™t have said that, she thought later.) When she felt particularly hard on herself, she would write letters to her mother she never sent. โ€œIโ€™m not doing anything,โ€ she wrote. โ€œIโ€™m hiding in this blasted room crying to you. Which is disgusting.โ€ Her mother had forgone dental work so Butler could attend. She wouldnโ€™t complain like that. + +Yes, she was still shy. She rarely spoke in class, and when she did, she put her hand over her mouth. (โ€œShe would never volunteer an answer,โ€ Delany recalled, โ€œbut whenever I called on her, she always had an answer and it was always very smart.โ€) But Ellisonโ€™s session was a shot in the arm. Butler hadnโ€™t turned in anything all workshop, and his one-story-a-day gauntlet invigorated her. She finished โ€œChildfinderโ€ at 4 a.m. โ€” a story about a Black woman named Barbara who has the ability to locate children with latent psionic abilities and to nurture them. She sold the story to Ellison for his next anthology, *The Last Dangerous Visions,* and an editor at Doubleday encouraged her to send along her book manuscript for *Psychogenesis,* a world she had been building out since her teens. + +Ellison was a social force: vexing and impossible to feel neutral toward. He would tell Butler to โ€œWrite Black!โ€ and โ€œWrite the ghetto the way you see it!โ€ โ€” advice that annoyed her. She also had a crush on him. In her journals, she gave him a code name, El Llano, something she did for all of her crushes (William Shatner was โ€œGellyโ€). She wanted someone who could help guide her career, and she had hoped Ellison could be her mentor, champion, and lover. โ€œLlano could easily be that master,โ€ she wrote. But she was wary of losing herself. โ€œIf I am not careful, he will take over without even realizing it. A master must teach me to use my own talent, not to lean on his. I love him, but this is not what he teaches. So I will continue to love him and teach myself.โ€ + +Collected notes from 1970 to 1996. Photo: Octavia E. Butler Estate + +**The high of Clarion** wore off quickly. Ellison had promised โ€œChildfinderโ€ would make Butler a star, but the publication of *The Last Dangerous Visions* kept getting delayed. She sent fragments of *Psychogenesis* to Diane Cleaver, the Doubleday editor she met at the workshop. Cleaver said it was promising but she would need the complete manuscript. Over the next five years, Butler didnโ€™t sell any writing but wrote constantly. She had moved into her own place in Los Angeles, one side of a single-story duplex in Mid City. On Saturdays, she packed a draft of *Psychogenesis* into her briefcase and went to the library to do research. One day, she lost the briefcase in a department store; from this point on, she always made a backup copy of her work. + +She tried to stick to a tight schedule. Every morning at 2 a.m., she woke up to write. This was the best time, before the day was filled with other people, when her mind could roam freely. Sunrise brought the life she did not ask for: menial jobs at factories, offices, and warehouses. She subsisted on work from a blue-collar temp agency she called โ€œthe Slave Market.โ€ Her mother wished she would get a full-time job as a secretary, but Butler preferred manual labor because she didnโ€™t have to โ€œsmile and pretend I was having a good time.โ€ Her body hurt; she needed to go to the dentist. She took NoDoz to stay awake during the day. She was always crunching numbers: the price of paper, how far she could stretch a $99.07 biweekly paycheck. โ€œPoverty is a constant, convenient, and unfortunately valid excuse for inaction,โ€ she wrote in one journal entry. + +The world of *Psychogenesis* had to do with psionics โ€” telepathy, telekinesis, mind control โ€” which was popular in the science fiction she was reading. The possibility that you could control the circumstances of your life with your mind held a strong appeal for Butler. She believed in its real-world application, too. She had begun taking self-hypnosis classes back in high school and devoured self-help books like *The Magic of Thinking Big* and *10 Days to a Great New Life.* She particularly loved Napoleon Hillโ€™s *Think and Grow Rich,* a book of motivational practices cribbed from the French psychologist ร‰mile Couรฉโ€™s concept of optimistic auto-suggestion, which originated the mantra โ€œIn every day, in every way, I am getting better and better.โ€ She would learn to manifest. + +One of Hillโ€™s exercises was to go to a quiet spot and write down a sum of money you want to earn and how you would get it. You had to do it with โ€œfaith.โ€ For a stretch of months in 1970, Butler would follow these instructions in the morning and at night. โ€œGoal: To own, free and clear, $100,000 in cash savings,โ€ she wrote. These mantras sounded a drumbeat throughout her early journals*.* She drew up contracts for herself with writing benchmarks โ€” *I will put together an outline; I will complete a short story* โ€” and signed them โ€œOEB.โ€ She copied out Frank Herbertโ€™s quote โ€œFear is the mind killerโ€ and wrote it again, breaking it up into stanzas. Writing was an incantation, a spell she could cast upon herself and the reader. โ€œThe goal right now is to achieve a scene of pure emotion,โ€ she wrote. โ€œI want the feeling to spark in the first sentence and I want my reader, my captive to read on helplessly hating with vehemence any interruption strong enough to break through to them. I shall succeed.โ€ + +Then, in December 1975, at 28, she sold her first book. After losing the *Psychogenesis* draft, she began writing another novel, *Patternmaster,* that takes place in the same universe. It was about a struggle for succession between two psionics, a young upstart named Teray and a seemingly unbeatable being named Coransee, both vying to become the next โ€œPatternmasterโ€ โ€” that is, the leader of the telepathic race known as the Patternists. Butler sent the manuscript to Doubleday. By then, Cleaver had left, and Sharon Jarvis, the science-fiction editor, accepted the submission. + +The novels poured out of Butler during this time. While *Patternmaster* was being finalized, she resurrected *Psychogenesis* as a prequel (a newfangled concept the jacket copy would describe as a โ€œpre-sequelโ€) and called it *Mind of My Mind.* โ€œI have to write about winners โ€” at least until I am one,โ€ she wrote in her journal. In other words, she wrote about characters she aspired to become. In *Patternmaster,* the two characters are upstaged repeatedly by Amber, a healer neither can control. In *Mind of My Mind,* a young, Black psionic named Mary discovers she can create a โ€œpattern,โ€ a neural network that brings other psionics under her control. While at first the others bristle, they soon come to discover they enjoy the mental stability her power gives them. + +By 1977, Butler had two published novels but was no closer to financial security. Jarvis had given her a $1,750 advance for *Patternmaster,* which was not enough to live on. Their editor-writer relationship was workmanlike. โ€œWhat is it you want of Sharon Jarvis?โ€ she asked herself. She had hoped for at least a $2,000 advance for *Mind of My Mind* as well as โ€œrespect, even friendship if such is possible. But definitely respect.โ€ The two wouldnโ€™t meet until after she had published three novels with Jarvis, and Jarvis was surprised to learn Butler was Black. โ€œI went up to her at a science-fiction convention and introduced myself and she opened her mouth, stepped back, and stared,โ€ Butler said. โ€œThen we both played at not knowing why she was behaving that way.โ€ (Jarvis recalled this, too. โ€œWhen I was an editor, I didnโ€™t give a crap about somebodyโ€™s background,โ€ she said.) + +Although *Mind of My Mind* was accepted for publication, Jarvis said there was a catch. At the time, both books were part of Doubledayโ€™s library-subscription project, which earmarked a certain number of genre titles to send to public libraries. Because of this, Jarvis said the books had to be โ€œcleanโ€ and expletives would have to be removed for publication. โ€œThere is absolutely no problem with any scenes, no necessity for rewriting, but the four-letter words have to come out,โ€ Jarvis wrote in a letter. โ€œEven the use of โ€˜Christโ€™ as an expletive must go.โ€ (The N-word, however, was published without concern.) + +Butler had been intentional about cuss words, even outlining which ones each character would use. (The character Karl, for instance, would stick to religious outbursts like โ€œHell!โ€) She felt the changes made the dialogue stilted and untrue. She wrote back, โ€œIโ€™m not sure I could convince anybody that, for instance, Mary, a feisty (usually) angry lower-class Black woman says โ€˜Oh shoot!โ€™ or โ€˜Forget you!โ€™โ€ + +โ€œI donโ€™t think the story suffers in any way if you change it,โ€ Jarvis responded. โ€œConsider Barry Malzbergโ€™s words: โ€˜If itโ€™s money versus integrity, money wins out every time.โ€™โ€ She continued, โ€œIf I can take out blatantly offensive words such as *fuck* and *shit* and leave the *hell*s and *damn*s, we both can be happy. But I will still have to list *Mind of My Mind* as a second-stringer with a possible warning attached, so I couldnโ€™t offer more than another $1,750.โ€ (Jarvis said the maximum amount she could offer any author at the time was $3,000.) The exchange became increasingly tense, ending with Jarvis saying she could keep the other expletives, but that *fuck* was nonnegotiable. โ€œIs that finally clear?โ€ she wrote. + +Butlerโ€™s relationship with Doubleday continued to deteriorate. She discovered that other science-fiction writers hadnโ€™t heard of *Patternmaster* and that it wasnโ€™t listed in the catalogue or sold at the Doubleday bookstore in Los Angeles. A review copy of *Mind of My Mind* hadnโ€™t been sent to Mike Hodel, a radio-show host she was set to do an interview with. In general, there was little to no effort to promote her books beyond the library presales. โ€œI canโ€™t help but feel as though Iโ€™m in trouble when I find myself having to bring in proof to booksellers that my book even exists,โ€ Butler wrote. โ€œTake it all in stride,โ€ Jarvis replied when she asked her about these issues. โ€œIโ€™ve heard worse.โ€ + +Butler didnโ€™t feel she had other options: She was hoping to sell the company *Survivor,* the third installment in her series. She didnโ€™t think the book was ready for publication, but she needed the money so she could travel to Maryland to do research for her next book*.* Jarvis would offer no more than $1,750 for *Survivor,* either, this time because of a sex scene that she agreed the book โ€œneeded.โ€ โ€œWhat youโ€™ve told me is that a mild three-paragraph sex scene is going to cost me $250,โ€ Butler replied. โ€œI canโ€™t pretend to be happy about that. I accept your offer of $1,750, but Iโ€™m not happy.โ€ + +Photo: Octavia E. Butler Estate + +**Butler would have** to promote herself. She sent *Patternmaster* to *Ms.* Magazine for review consideration. She regularly attended science-fiction conventions like Westercon to network and sell books. She met a fellow Black science-fiction writer, Steven Barnes, at one of them, and they would commiserate over the years about the lack of support for their work. โ€œHow do we win?โ€ said Barnes. โ€œHow do we play this game in a way that doesnโ€™t break our hearts and send us to the poorhouse?โ€ + +Perhaps because of Butlerโ€™s efforts, her books sold better than Doubleday had expected. Jarvis told her *Mind of My Mind* went into a second printing โ€œbecause we underestimated the advance sales.โ€ Soon after, Butler received a letter from a young agent at Writers House named Felicia Eth asking if she had representation. Up to that point, Butlerโ€™s only experience with an agent had been when her mother paid $61.20 โ€” more than a monthโ€™s rent โ€” to a scammer. (โ€œIgnorance is expensive,โ€ Butler would later write.) Writing a best seller was a constant preoccupation โ€” a way to make life financially sustainable. โ€œI need something that sells itself,โ€ she wrote. โ€œSomething that screams its significance or its scariness or its timeliness so loudly that it canโ€™t be ignored.โ€ + +Her next book would be her first stand-alone novel. Titled *Kindred,* it represented a new level of maturity for Butler as a writer and has become one of her most enduring works. It blends historical fiction with time travel, sending Dana, a modern-day writer living in Los Angeles, to an antebellum-era plantation in Maryland where she has family roots. The time-travel mechanism is a psychological trap: When the life of one of Danaโ€™s ancestors, a white slave owner named Rufus, is threatened, she is pulled into his orbit to save him. When she believes her own life to be threatened, she returns home. Danaโ€™s existence depends on not only saving Rufus but allowing him to live long enough to rape her other ancestor, a free Black woman named Alice. Butler spent weeks in Baltimore researching at the cityโ€™s historical society; she read deeply, including George Rawickโ€™s first 19 volumes of slave narratives, *The American Slave*; autobiographies by Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs; and journals of slave ownersโ€™ wives โ€œto understand that point of view, too.โ€ + +Early in her career, Butler received criticism for not writing explicitly about racial politics. โ€œWhy do you write that stuff?โ€ she recalled being asked. โ€œYou should write something thatโ€™s more politically relevant to the struggle.โ€ She first got the idea for *Kindred* in college when she was a member of the Black Student Union. She had a discussion with another student โ€” male, her age, middle class, and the self-appointed scholar on all things Black history โ€” that she never forgot. โ€œI wish I could kill off all these old people who have been holding us back for so long, but I canโ€™t because I would have to start with my own parents,โ€ she remembered him saying. He believed the older generations were to blame for the lack of racial equity and that they โ€œshould have rebelledโ€ against slavery. His impertinence reminded her of herself when she was younger. On days when her mother couldnโ€™t find a sitter, she would bring Butler with her as she worked in other peopleโ€™s homes. They entered through the back door, and white people spoke in front of them as if they didnโ€™t exist. One day, she told her mother, โ€œI will never do what *you* do. What *you* do is *terrible.*โ€ Normally, her mother would have put her in her place, but that day she didnโ€™t say anything. She just gave her daughter a quiet look. + +โ€œI carried that look for a number of years before I understood it,โ€ Butler said in an interview in 2003. โ€œI didnโ€™t have to leave school when I was 10, I never missed a meal, always had a roof over my head because my mother was willing to do demeaning work and accept humiliation. What I wanted to teach in writing *Kindred* was that the people who did what my mother did were not frightened or timid or cowards, they were heroes.โ€ + +Initially, she tried writing *Kindred* with a male protagonist โ€” not dissimilar from her self-righteous friend โ€” but found she couldnโ€™t keep him alive. A proud Black man like him who would look a white man dead in the eye? He wouldnโ€™t last long enough to learn โ€œthe rules of submission.โ€ No, she reasoned, the main character had to be female because her gender would make her seem less threatening. โ€œI was wild for *Kindred,*โ€ said Eth. โ€œIt was a real departure from what people were writing or reading about.โ€ Eth was hoping to sell it as a mainstream title, i.e., not science fiction, and queried numerous publishers: Simon & Schuster, William Morrow, Putnam. Most editors resisted the genre mixing. โ€œThe blend of realism and fantasy just didnโ€™t work to my mind,โ€ replied Daphne Abeel at Houghton Mifflin. Gail Winston at Random House liked the book but said she โ€œcouldnโ€™t get the support she needed to push it through.โ€ Butler was restless, while Eth counseled patience. *Kindred* โ€œis a wonderful book because itโ€™s not easily categorized, and we have to expect that thatโ€™s going to mean we have to work harder and have more faith in it,โ€ Eth wrote. โ€œI have that faith and donโ€™t want to give up.โ€ + +Funnily enough, *Kindred* ended up at Doubleday: Eth sold it to an editor in the fiction department for $5,000. The book was published in 1979 and received a muted response. While New York legacy media ignored it, it was reviewed in *Essence, Ms.* Magazine, and science-fiction publications like *Locus* and *Asimovโ€™s Science Fiction.* โ€œBlack writers did not know I was Black,โ€ she said. โ€œBut a couple of experiences helped with that.โ€ One of them came when Veronica Mixon, a young Black assistant editor at Doubleday, pitched the first magazine profile of Butler for a 1979 issue of *Essence* titled โ€œFuturist Woman.โ€ *Kindred* fell out of print, but the book allowed Butler to understand where her readership was: in the Black community and among women. Moreover, she began to feel she was owed money commensurate with her work. โ€œI will be sold cheap as long as I permit myself to be sold cheap,โ€ she wrote. โ€œEnough is enough. I will not permit it again.โ€ + +**In her journals,** particularly from the 1970s and โ€™80s, Butler would deliver self-assessments on her looks, her personality, her comportment. When she was younger and less confident, she often reprimanded herself for saying something she thought was embarrassing. She wanted to become โ€œunembarrassableโ€ but later understood she needed to let go of that. โ€œI maintain distance between myself and other people out of fear. Fear of the pain they will give me if they see me naked. And find me not merely ugly, but foolish and without value,โ€ she wrote. โ€œThe defense is not to care.โ€ + +In middle age, she would describe herself as โ€œcomfortably asocial,โ€ but her journals reflect a deep yearning for intimacy. Loneliness was a constant affliction. She wanted companionship and sex. โ€œAnother person would help me to grow up socially,โ€ she wrote. โ€œA lasting relationship would be good for me.โ€ Often, she imagined being with a man: โ€œWe want now a man over six feet tall. White, Black, yellow, we do not care.โ€ Still, her relationships with men were not emotionally fulfilling; the sex was brief and โ€œnever initiatedโ€ by her. During her late 20s, she also imagined herself with a woman. โ€œI know that but for the social stigma, I would rather love women,โ€ she wrote. โ€œI do it so easily. Closeness with men doesnโ€™t seem to fulfill except physically.โ€ + +When Butler was 28, she decided to stop living inside her head and meet some women. She worried most about how being in a relationship with a woman could impact her career. โ€œIsnโ€™t being Black and female stigma enough?โ€ she wondered. โ€œIt could hurt me. However small I am, it could. If I keep low after coming out, is it fear or shame?โ€ After great hesitation, she picked up the phone to call the Gay and Lesbian Center in L.A. to inquire about some of its upcoming meetups. โ€œOf course itโ€™s possible that the only thing the center group will teach me is that I donโ€™t want to be part of their particular group,โ€ she wrote. โ€œNot that I donโ€™t share their unifying inclination. Why am I being so oblique today? Their lesbianism.โ€ + +Her journal from the first meetup burns with an intensity of detail. โ€œA lot of them look like police women โ€” have that odd smugness of โ€˜authorityโ€™ about them, have that โ€˜toughโ€™ little face, slightly pushed together without being at all ugly,โ€ she observed of the attendees. She noticed that all of them were white. She watched them kiss one another in a way she knew wasnโ€™t โ€œsisterlyโ€ and felt pangs of envy. The only time she spoke up was to correct a woman โ€” โ€œwhite, pretty, and one of those Iโ€™d never have suspectedโ€ โ€” who was making incorrect claims about parapsychology. (Then she worried about coming off as a killjoy and know-it-all.) She wondered if she was attractive enough and played out scenarios in her head: If she were to pursue this lifestyle, her appearance would mean โ€œthe โ€˜maleโ€™ burden would be on meโ€ when courting women. + +Butler ended the day in a heap of anguish. If only she had a friend to guide her. She wasnโ€™t confident that women would be interested in her โ€” gay women liked attractive women, just as straight men did. Many of her social anxieties were tied to her lack of money, which she thought having would make her โ€œmore civilized, socialized.โ€ At another meeting later in the month, she decided she was done. She sat through the centerโ€™s announcements and went home. โ€œI donโ€™t belong there any more than I belong anywhere else,โ€ she wrote. โ€œIt would require an effort that Iโ€™m not willing to put forth to make me part of those people. Theyโ€™re not for me. If I found a woman I went well with, we could make it.โ€ + +As far as her close friends and editors knew, Butler wasnโ€™t in a romantic partnership. โ€œI am sorry that she did not seem to have that deep, intimate relationship,โ€ said Barnes. โ€œIt can be difficult for artists. She had that sense of existential loneliness that human beings get. It was a price she was willing to pay to become the human being that she wanted to be. She became that person, and all it takes to get everything you want is everything youโ€™ve got. Life takes everything.โ€ + +Photo: Octavia E. Butler Estate + +**Butler never learned** to drive. As an adult, she realized she was dyslexic (she hadnโ€™t received an official diagnosis as a child) and needed time to read; she didnโ€™t want to risk trying to read street signs behind the wheel. Instead, she took the bus, an inconvenient way of getting around L.A. and one that created constant proximity with strangers who relied on the same municipal system; it became a steady source of inspiration in her writing. She observed people and occasionally wrote character sketches. During one bus ride, she watched a fight break out: One man accused another of looking at him funny (he wasnโ€™t) and lunged at him. At that moment, Butler thought of the opening line for her next short story, โ€œSpeech Soundsโ€: โ€œThere was trouble aboard the Washington Boulevard bus.โ€ + +A story set in a dystopic near future in which a pandemic degrades peopleโ€™s ability to communicate, โ€œSpeech Soundsโ€ came out of a depressive period for Butler. It was the early โ€™80s, and she was languishing with a new novel, *Blindsight,* which she felt was a โ€œthin and impoverishedโ€ version of *Mind of My Mind.* (It would go unpublished.) Her friend Phyllis was dying of multiple myeloma at the time, and every week, Butler would bring her a new chapter of *Clayโ€™s Ark,* the fifth *Patternist* book she was working on, to read. Butlerโ€™s Uncle Clarence had recently died, and another friend attempted suicide. Her house had been burgled and the thieves took her typewriters, tape recorders, TV, and radio โ€” something that happened multiple times. She worried about her safety and told Barnes she wanted to take martial-arts classes. โ€œThe main thing I felt was wronged,โ€ she wrote after one burglary. โ€œAs though I expected the world to be a fair or a sensible place where people see the folly as well as the โ€˜injusticeโ€™ of robbing the poor. I thought, *Why did they do it?* I had so little.โ€ + +Meanwhile, she felt the world was in a state of regression. Butler was a self-professed news junkie with a keen interest in political leaders going back to the Nixon-Kennedy debates. She wanted to understand how their words held sway over people. โ€œBigotry is easing back into fashion,โ€ she wrote shortly after the presidential election of Ronald Reagan. His attack on social-welfare programs and environmental regulations and the funny math of Reaganomics all filled her with dread. โ€œReagan is the tool of utterly self-interested, fatally shortsighted men โ€” men who deem it a virtue to be indifferent to human suffering,โ€ she wrote. โ€œWe will probably go on solving our problems by borrowing from the future until we are forced by the consequences of our own behavior to change.โ€ She would filter her misgivings into her next series: the *Xenogenesis* trilogy, which she sold to Warner Books in a three-book deal in 1985. The contract โ€” $75,000, to be divided out around the submission of each installment โ€” was the strongest she had yet received and was buoyed in part by publishersโ€™ renewed interest in science fiction. She sent her mother some money and bought herself a plane ticket to Peru to location-scout for the books. + +**1985:** Butler, 38, on a research trip in Peru for her *Xenogenesis* trilogy. Photo: Octavia E. Butler Estate + +Science fiction can be categorized into three types of stories: โ€œWhat if?,โ€ โ€œIf only,โ€ and โ€œIf this goes on.โ€ The first *Xenogenesis* book, *Dawn,* was born from Butlerโ€™s horror at the Reagan administrationโ€™s notion of a โ€œwinnable nuclear warโ€ โ€” the worst imaginable scenario of โ€œIf this goes on.โ€ Its protagonist, Lilith, is awakened from a cryogenic sleep by an alien race called the Oankali after a nuclear holocaust has destroyed Earth. The Oankali tell Lilith humanity is doomed because of โ€œtwo incompatible characteristicsโ€: intelligence and a hierarchical nature. Butler designed the Oankali to trigger an instinctive response of fear and disgust; theyโ€™re covered in long tentacles like invertebrates. While humans are xenophobic, these aliens are xenophilic. The Oankali give Lilith a โ€œchoiceโ€ โ€” either go back into a cryogenic-like state or help awaken more humans to mate with the Oankali and start a new race. Essentially, evolve or die. This was the beginning of Butlerโ€™s โ€œfix the worldโ€ books, her attempts to work out whether humanity could save itself from itself. Throughout the trilogy, she returns to this core observation: that our intelligence and need for dominance would lead to self-annihilation. + +Photo: Octavia E. Butler Estate. + +Photo: Octavia E. Butler Estate. + +**Butlerโ€™s dire prognosis** for the world brought her acclaim. In 1984, she won a Hugo Award for Best Short Story for โ€œSpeech Sounds,โ€ followed by another Hugo and her first Nebula for *Bloodchild.* She returned to Clarion as a teacher the following year. Beacon Press was doing a line of feminist science fiction and bought the rights to reissue *Kindred* in 1988, a move that would seriously expand the bookโ€™s readership. That Christmas, she paid off the mortgage on her motherโ€™s house. + +Butler was in her 40s now. She wanted to write her โ€œmagnum opus,โ€ but felt she had lost some of the fuel that had kept her going so far. โ€œIn a way, I have run dry,โ€ she wrote in a moment of discouragement. โ€œYou start to repeat yourself or you write from research and/or formula. Iโ€™m like an old prodigy who has run on โ€˜instinctโ€™ for years, and now must learn her craft all over again because instinct has failed.โ€ + +When she was looking for ideas, Butler would do what she called โ€œgrazing,โ€ which in practice meant having any number of books open around the house and perusing whatever might be of interest to her: environmental science, anthropology, microbiology, Black history, political studies. Lately, she had been taken by the Gaia hypothesis, an idea tendered by the scientists James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis that Earth is like a human body, a synergistic, self-regulating whole that we are a part of despite our behavior to the contrary. + +What if she were to graft this idea onto space-colonization narratives? Wouldnโ€™t a planet reject humans like a body rejecting an organ transplant? What if, instead of enacting the same hostile-native scenario, interstellar colonists were afflicted by the environment and tiny bacteria? Humans would have to learn how to synergize and work with the planet, rather than carry on with their smash-and-grab attitude. This could be a series exploring different worlds and their peculiar challenges. โ€œIโ€™m researching now and playing with ideas, but I know by the way this feels that Iโ€™ve got something good,โ€ she wrote in a 1989 letter to her agent, Merrilee Heifetz, who had taken over from Eth. โ€œIโ€™ve a convention and a week of Clarion coming up, so I canโ€™t quite hide out with 30 or 40 books and my typewriter. Thatโ€™s what I feel like doing. You see, this is what Iโ€™m like when Iโ€™m in love.โ€ + +The resulting book, *Parable of the Sower,* begins in Southern California in the year 2024. Earth, ravaged by the climate crisis called โ€œthe Apocalypse,โ€ or โ€œthe Pox,โ€ is beyond repair. People have become chained to systems of indentured servitude by company-owned cities. The narrative follows Lauren Olamina, a precocious 15-year-old living in a gated community surrounded by adults who try to fortify its defenses. She knows this safety is an illusion and records her beliefs secretly in a notebook. She suffers from a hyperempathy disorder, a crippling condition that causes her to โ€œfeelโ€ what others feel. It forces her to be a tougher, faster decision-maker. She becomes the magnetic leader of a new religion but works slowly and subtly through actions and common sense. + +Over four years, Butler rewrote the first 75 pages several times. โ€œEverything I wrote seemed like garbage,โ€ she said. Poetry finally broke the block. โ€œI was forced to pay attention word by word, line by line,โ€ she said. In the book, Lauren calls her belief system Earthseed โ€” a fusion of Heraclitus, Darwin, and the Buddha that revolves around the core principle that โ€œGod is change.โ€ She advocates for adaptability and communality as the path of survival for the species. The Earthseed verses take the form of Butlerโ€™s own motivational writing, which had transformed from self-help contracts into poetry. โ€œOne of the first poems I wrote sounded like a nursery rhyme. It begins: God is power, and goes on to: God is malleable. This concept gave me what I needed,โ€ she wrote. The ultimate goal of Earthseedโ€™s adherents is to shape the Destiny, which will allow humans to โ€œtake root among the stars.โ€ Space colonization was Butlerโ€™s equivalent to building a cathedral. She believed only some extraordinary feat like space travel could bring people together in a common goal. โ€œEarthseed doesnโ€™t just reconcile science fiction and religion,โ€ wrote her biographer Gerry Canavan. โ€œIt remakes science fiction *as* religion.โ€ + +*Parable of the Sower* was published in 1993. She liked her editor at the time, Dan Simon, who listened when she told him who her various audiences were and sent her out on a book tour. She spoke at independent Black-owned, science-fiction, and feminist bookstores. For the first time, the New York *Times* reviewed her work (albeit as part of a science-fiction roundup). The greater culture was shifting to meet her. โ€œShe was coming into more consciousness because of the growth of Black publishing,โ€ said her writer friend Tananarive Due. โ€œWhen the Black Books movement took off in the 1990s, a lot of us were caught in that wind.โ€ + +**2005:** Butler, 58, with her students at Clarion West Workshop. Photo: Leslie Howell + +On June 9, 1995, Butler received an unexpected call. It was from the MacArthur Foundation, informing her that she had been awarded one of its famed โ€œGeniusโ€ grants. She was so surprised that she didnโ€™t ask about the particulars. In her journals, she gave the award a code name: U.B., for Uncle Boisie, a.k.a. A. Guy, possibly as a reference to a male academic who had nominated her. โ€œThis isnโ€™t real yet,โ€ she wrote. โ€œIt wonโ€™t be until the letter arrives. What am I to do? Let us consider sensible behavior.โ€ She would enroll in the foundationโ€™s health plan. She would get life insurance and add her mother as its recipient. + +The following week, she got the official letter informing her that she would be granted a total of $295,000 over five years. It would be the largest sum of money she received in her lifetime. The letter read: + +> *Your award carries with it no obligations to the Foundation of any kind. The Foundation has no expectation that your work will retain the form or direction it has to date, nor that you should consult the Foundation about changes. Quite simply, your award is for you to use for whatever purposes you choose.* + +She made a photocopy of it and, per her habit, started doing the math in the margins: $28,500 in 1995. 1996, $57,500. 1997, $58,500. 1999, $59,500. โ€œA chance to write *and* to meet daughterly obligations,โ€ she wrote. + +A year later, her mother had a stroke and was hospitalized for three weeks before dying. Butler rarely spoke about the death publicly or with friends. โ€œI wrote nothing of value for some time,โ€ she said. Her grief focused her as well. She had been in a rut with *Parable of the Talents,* the second in the series (which in recent years would become known for featuring a fascist president, Andrew Steele Jarret, who proclaims he will โ€œMake America Great Againโ€). โ€œLater, when I came back to the novel, I found myself much less inclined to be gentle with my character,โ€ Butler said, referring to Lauren. โ€œAlso I found that I needed to see her not only through her own eyes but through those of her daughter.โ€ Butler would say this was โ€œmy motherโ€™s last gift to me.โ€ On her motherโ€™s headstone, Butler wrote: โ€œBeloved Motherโ€‰/โ€‰Octavia Margaret Butlerโ€‰/โ€‰1914โ€“1996โ€‰/โ€‰God is Love.โ€ + +**A few years** after her motherโ€™s death, Butler bought a house in Lake Forest Park just north of Seattle: a three-bedroom ranch-style home with neatly trimmed hedges in front and towering cypress trees in back. She turned one of the bedrooms into a library filled wall to wall with books and another into a study where she would write. Crucially, the house was right off a bus line she could take to U Street to go to events and to the bookstore. She was no longer the girl who would freeze up in class and spoke regularly at conferences, universities, schools, and festivals with authority and presence. In addition to the financial stability, the MacArthur grew her stature. She was the first science-fiction writer to win the grant โ€” a fact the genreโ€™s community seemed to belatedly acknowledge when *Parable of the Talents* won the Nebula for Best Novel in 2000. That year, Butler also received a PEN Lifetime Achievement Award. โ€œAll of the sudden, people who had not paid any attention to my work began to pay attention to me,โ€ she said in an interview with Charlie Rose. Her goal of $100,000 in savings had changed to $1,000,000. + +With the completion of the first two *Parable* books, she had finally set the stage for Earthseed believers to go to the stars. She had an ambitious plan of four more novels with the same title formulation โ€” *Trickster, Teacher, Chaos, Clay* โ€” set on other planets. True to its name, *Parable of the Trickster* confounded her. Butler wrote dozens of fragments that never moved beyond exposition. She explored a variety of ailments the planet might afflict on new arrivals: blindness or hallucinations, a body-jumping disease or a โ€œnearly lethal homesickness.โ€ Nothing was working. Republicans continued to depress her, particularly George W. Bushโ€™s invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan. She needed a break, so she started writing *Fledgling,* a sexy polyamorous vampire novel, instead. + +But writing had become generally difficult. Beginning in the late โ€™90s, Butler began to feel fatigued. She was taking medication for high blood pressure and heart arrhythmia but felt the drugs were sapping her strength and sex drive. She kept notes of her symptoms โ€” shortness of breath, nausea, back pain, hair loss. Her condition continued to deteriorate into the new millennium. She got pneumonia that was misdiagnosed and left untreated for weeks. Soon, she couldnโ€™t walk more than half a block without getting tired. โ€œIโ€™m not functioning,โ€ she wrote in 2004. โ€œI sit and drowse a lot. I know Iโ€™m not thinking very well, and Iโ€™m certainly not breathing very well.โ€ + +On February 24, 2006, Butlerโ€™s friend Leslie Howle was supposed to pick her up to bring her to a local conference. Howle and Butler had met in Seattle in 1985 when Butler was a teacher at Clarion and Howle was a student. Howle remembers her then: young and mosquito bitten and grinning after her trip to Peru. That week, Howle became her chauffeur, a role she would continue to fill over the years, particularly once Butler moved to Seattle. Howle would drive her on grocery runs to Whole Foods and Costco, and they would take hiking expeditions to Wallace Creek, Mount Rainier, and the ice caves. โ€œShe really loved getting out in nature,โ€ said Howle. โ€œIf Octavia had a place where she saw God, that was it.โ€ + +Before she left the house that day to pick up her friend, Howle received word that Butler had died. She had fallen outside of her home, hitting her head on the concrete. She was 58 years old. She had been complaining that weekend about dizziness, nausea, and swollen ankles; she had even called her doctor, who told her she just had the flu and to rest up. Up until then, the medical advice she had received was to exercise more. โ€œI am furious about that because when weโ€™d go hiking, she would be striding up switchbacks and Iโ€™d be panting along behind her,โ€ said Howle. โ€œAnd sheโ€™d be like, โ€˜Oh, do you want me to wait for you?โ€™โ€ + +โ€œWhat happened with Octavia didnโ€™t need to happen,โ€ Howle continued. โ€œDespite being the incredibly powerful person she was, she did not assert herself with her doctor. Even today, doctors discount women of a certain age and women of color. Some of itโ€™s racism, some of itโ€™s ageism, some of itโ€™s sexism โ€” but all the โ€˜ismsโ€™ conspired against her in the end is what I feel. She needed more people who were protective of her.โ€ + +**Shortly after** Butlerโ€™s death, Howle organized a memorial service for her at the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in Seattle. On short notice, over 200 people gathered, including her friends the writers Vonda McIntyre, Nisi Shawl, and Harlan Ellison, via video. Howle remembered the way Butler would end calls by saying, โ€œIโ€™ll be seeing you, then.โ€ Butlerโ€™s cousin Ernestine Walker said, โ€œThere is an African proverb: โ€˜As long as you speak my name, I live.โ€™โ€ + +Butlerโ€™s name has only continued to grow. Since 2004, when BookScan began tracking numbers, over 1.5 million copies of her books have been sold. A Clarion scholarship, her onetime middle school in Pasadena, and a studio lab at the Los Angeles Public Library now all bear her name. In 2021, NASA named the landing site of the Mars Rover *Perseverance* the Octavia E. Butler Landing Site. The playwright and fellow MacArthur grantee Branden Jacobs-Jenkins had been pitching a television adaptation of *Kindred* since 2016, but it wasnโ€™t until the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 that networks got serious. His is the first out of the gate. Viola Davis is working on a TV adaptation of *Wild Seed* for Amazon, Issa Rae and J.โ€‰J. Abrams are producing *Fledgling,* A24 acquired the rights to *Parable of the Sower,* and according to the director of the Butler estate, Jules Jackson, thereโ€™s a โ€œhumongous bidding warโ€ for *Dawn* now. + +Her most lasting legacy, though, is her writing, published and unpublished. Butler left her papers to the Huntington Library in her will, and she had seemingly kept everything: every journal, notebook, scrap of paper, envelope, contract (official and personal), card, reader letter, photograph, press clipping, diary, datebook, and draft. She kept the correspondence she received and made copies of the letters she sent โ€” just in case. All told, the Octavia E. Butler archive contains 9,062 pieces held in 386 boxes, one volume, two binders, and 18 broadsides. She saved everything except the rejection slips she threw out in a fit of despair when she was young. The archive is evidence of the breadth of a writerโ€™s life: her labor, her joy, her pain, and her greatest love. + +Today, her writing is often read inspirationally and aspirationally. Some have taken the tenets of Earthseed literally as a philosophy of living. โ€œOctavia Butler knewโ€ is a common response to cataclysm. Butler did not believe in utopia, but there is a deep strain of hope in how people engage with her work: a desire to learn how to save ourselves from this mess weโ€™ve made. She wasnโ€™t sure imperfect people could ever create a perfect world, but they could try. In an epigram for *Parable of the Trickster,* she wrote: + +> *There is nothing new* +> +> *under the sun,* +> +> *but there are new suns.* + +What the archives show is how much she struggled with hope herself. She was โ€œa pessimist if Iโ€™m not careful.โ€ When she was working on a novel, her drafts tended to reveal the crueler sides of human nature. She didnโ€™t like Lauren Olamina at first because she saw the character as a power seeker. Earlier iterations of *Parable* depicted her as a calculated leader who orders assassinations on her enemies and puts shock collars on those who try to leave Earthseed. But the version of Lauren in the finished book is wise, practical, strong โ€” someone who could grow a community into a movement. If Butler had been writing idealized selves since childhood, Lauren was the young adult she wished she had been, and her rise into myth has come to resemble her characterโ€™s. You could understand this as a function of her desire for commercial success: We all need heroes. But another way to see it is that hope is not a given. It was through rewriting that she was able to imagine not only the darkest possible futures, but how to survive within them. Hope and writing were an entwined practice, the work of endless revision. + +*An earlier version of this piece incorrectly stated the* Kindred *series will be coming to FX.

Just after 2 a.m., he threw bottles at Evelina, a trattoria on DeKalb Avenue, smashing a large window. From there, he took aim at Izzy Rose in neighboring Clinton Hill, where a security camera captured him pitching shards of concrete through the cocktail barโ€™s large storefront window. He capped the night off by returning to Fort Greene, where he tossed a metal garbage basket into the window of the Great Georgiana, a popular gastropub on the corner of Dekalb and Vanderbilt. The next night Arora picked up where he left off, shattering a curtain of windows at Rhodora, an ecoconscious natural-wine bar a block away from Evelina. + +โ€œI immediately knew who it was because heโ€™s been doing this for years,โ€ said Giuseppe de Francisci, a managing partner at Evelina. โ€œHeโ€™s trashing restaurants that have kicked him out.โ€ + +De Francisci isnโ€™t the only business owner who has dealt with 47-year-old Arora before. It was the third time Arora had broken a window at the Great Georgiana in the last ten months. Employees at the Indian restaurant Dosa Royale had called 911 on him years earlier. He also broke a bottle at the feet of Treis Hill, the owner of Dick & Janeโ€™s cocktail bar; threatened to burn a hostess at Evelina; slapped a manager at Saraghina Caffรจ in the chest; and harassed a bartender and guests at Izzy Rose. Aroraโ€™s incessant menacing has been so bad recently that someone posted a flyer urging anyone who saw him to contact the police. โ€œMillionaire Menace Terrorizes Fort Greeneโ€ it announced in bold red letters above a mug shot of Arora. + +Aroraโ€™s family says heโ€™s no millionaire. Twenty years ago, he founded a company that rode the health-food craze by selling packets of Indian-spice blends in grocery stores across the country. In 2007, *Crainโ€™s* named Arora one of the cityโ€™s top business owners, and a few years later the New York *Post* crowned him the โ€œSpice King.โ€ With his star on the rise, Arora lived the life of a swaggering playboy entrepreneur who spent extravagantly on clothes, travel, and restaurants. โ€œI am the definition of passion,โ€ he told a small magazine at the time. โ€œStay tuned.โ€ + +But Aroraโ€™s bluster masked his struggle with bipolar and alcohol-use disorders, a dual diagnosis that made it impossible for him to maintain his business. Over the past decade, his family and friends watched helplessly as his mental health declined, taking away the success heโ€™d earned and sending him down a destructive path. + +โ€œHis episodes have become far worse and more frequent, and now every time thereโ€™s an episode, all we can do is call the police,โ€ said his sister, Puja Arora. โ€œAt that point heโ€™s violent, heโ€™s dangerous, heโ€™s a threat to himself, heโ€™s a threat to others. Itโ€™s this constant cycle. Every step of the way the system failed him.โ€ + +Aroraโ€™s family has seen him cycle in and out of hospitals, jails, and rehab facilities. Since 2019, heโ€™s been arrested in New York, New Jersey, and Florida for stalking, harassment, menacing, criminal mischief, and more. His illness has confined him to a sort of systemic purgatory: Too sick for his family to care for, but not harmful enough for the legal system to intervene. + +Meanwhile, his neighbors fear what the next episode might bring, a looming dread shared by many New Yorkers who say [crime is the cityโ€™s top problem](https://poll.qu.edu/poll-release?releaseid=3865) โ€” including Mayor Eric Adams, who has blamed mental illness for the rise in subway crime in particular. In November, he announced a haphazard plan to allow first responders, including NYPD officers, to forcibly remove people from the streets and involuntarily hospitalize them. Members of the City Council ripped into that plan at a hearing in early February, saying the city canโ€™t police its way out of a mental-health crisis. + +Indeed, police havenโ€™t made a difference when it comes to treating Aroraโ€™s own crisis or, until recently, preventing him from terrorizing people. Mental-health court gives defendants a chance to enter treatment programs as an alternative to jail or prison, but none of Aroraโ€™s cases appear to have gone through the court. Itโ€™s unlikely his crimes โ€” mostly misdemeanors โ€” would have qualified him for the kind of court-ordered supervised medical treatment that his family hopes might prevent further incidents. โ€œPeople who do well in mental-health court are those who have significant challenges related to untreated mental illness and have committed a serious crime. If they donโ€™t have those two things, then you donโ€™t really have the mechanisms at play to respond to them,โ€ said Jeff Coots, director of John Jay College of Criminal Justiceโ€™s From Punishment to Public Health program. + +Arora and his sister grew up in Bridgewater, New Jersey, where she recalls he was โ€œsuper-loving, protective, hystericalโ€ before the onset of bipolar. โ€œHe was an athlete. He was voted best all around in high school, most likely to succeed. He had all the hot chicks.โ€ Dhiraj received his bipolar diagnosis in 1997, the same year he graduated from the University of Michigan, and was in and out of hospitals for treatment. + +After college, Arora moved back home and, inspired by his parentsโ€™ reputations as some of the best cooks in his familyโ€™s community, sold spice mixes he blended together at local flea markets. He gave his company a simple name, Arora Creations, and tapped into Americansโ€™ growing desire for healthier organic ingredients in their everyday grocery stores. โ€œDhiraj has hands down one of the smartest, savviest business minds Iโ€™ve ever come across,โ€ said a family friend who works in finance. The company operated with a few employees who worked out of Aroraโ€™s studio on Canal Street. By 2008, some 8,000 stores across the country, including Publix and Whole Foods, carried Arora Creations spice packets. โ€œThis isnโ€™t a trend, this isnโ€™t fat-free,โ€ he said in a promotional video from the time. โ€œThis is a lifestyle. This is my culture. This is my tradition, my roots.โ€ + +As the company grew, so did its founderโ€™s drinking and erratic behavior, according to those who knew him. In September 2011, Arora ran naked through the gym of the midtown Four Seasons Hotel while drinking tequila. โ€œSuck my million-dollar cock,โ€ he allegedly told police as they took him to St. Lukeโ€™s-Roosevelt Hospital for a psychological evaluation. No charges were filed. The *Post* picked up on the story and, when a reporter reached Arora for comment, he offered a correction: It was โ€œsuck my $57 million dick,โ€ he said. + +The *Post*โ€™s story was easy fodder for New Yorkโ€™s media blogs, nearly all of which ran gleeful posts about the incident. The *Observer* interviewed Arora over an alcohol-soaked lunch at the Breslin for a short [profile](https://observer.com/2012/01/selling-the-sizzle-new-york-spice-king-dhiraj-arora-lets-it-all-hang-out/) that depicted him as an immature but charming โ€” if a bit unhinged โ€” impresario. A close friend speculated that Arora enjoyed the media attention the episode brought him, even if it was bad for business: The swaggering, yoga-practicing entrepreneur was a familiar trope in the 2010s, and Arora seemed happy to play the part. + +Whatever high Arora might have felt crashed when, a few months later, one of the police officers who arrested him filed a $57 million lawsuit against Arora claiming he had assaulted her. The case was dismissed, but the negative publicity from the incident, along with Aroraโ€™s deteriorating mental health, virtually doomed his business and he filed for bankruptcy in 2014. He spent the next several years living in a small apartment in Fort Greene, drinking away what little money his business brought in. + +When the pandemic struck in 2020, Arora moved in with his mother in New Jersey and tied together a few months of sobriety. For the first time in years, Puja felt like she had her brother back. โ€œWe went out to dinner two or three times a week, we went out for walks, we did things, we hung out the way we used to. Then he stopped taking his medicine and the cycle started,โ€ she said. + +Arora disappeared for days. Family and friends did what they could to help, loaning him money, bailing him out of jail, paying for lawyers and expensive treatment facilities. Occasionally, he would stick to medications to treat his bipolar disorder and stay away from alcohol, but the drinking would resume and he would quit taking medicine and spiral out of control. Heโ€™s been hospitalized more times than the family can count. + +โ€œHe goes there, they drug him up, they keep him there for three days or two weeks, then heโ€™s released, and thatโ€™s the problem. Thereโ€™s no follow-up, heโ€™s not mandated to attend any of his sessions,โ€ said Puja. โ€œIt just feels unfair. He is insanely smart. He has the ability to do well in this world, and well for himself, but he needs help. He needs the compassion that we feel for other diseases.โ€ + +When he is not at home or in a hospital, Arora is often in the place his family fears most: police custody. Last February, the NYPD picked him up in the throes of another manic episode in lower Manhattan. Arora told police that he needed to go to the hospital because he didnโ€™t have his medication. Arora was brought in handcuffs to the Mount Sinai Beth Israel emergency room where he saidย  officer Blair Butler struck him in the head and cut open his ear so badly that he was stitched up in the ER. (Aroraโ€™s attorney, David Cetron, provided video of the incident.) The Manhattan District Attorney Officeโ€™s police accountability unit opened an investigation that determined it couldnโ€™t prove criminal conduct on Butlerโ€™s part. The Civilian Complaint Review Board also opened an investigation but has yet to issue a recommendation. + +Arora was attacked by a NYPD officer inside Mount Sinai Beth Israel last year. + +While Aroraโ€™s family worries how he will be treated by officers who often have no training to deal with someone in a manic state, sometimes they have no other choice but to ask the police for help. This past June, Puja called 911 because she feared her brother would hurt her mother. Again, police took him to a hospital where he was admitted for psychiatric treatment. After he was discharged, police arrested Arora for a separate incident in which heโ€™d dialed 911 and made a false report. He spent the next 89 days in jail. About a month after he was released, in October, he was arrested again. + +In November, Prapti Patel, a 33-year-old consultant, was having drinks with a friend at Izzy Rose when she noticed a man throwing broccoli rabe at them. Arora had been hanging around the bar recently, even handing out spice packets to customers. Patel said she politely asked Arora to stop, but he became enraged and threatened to kill her. โ€œHe started calling me an Indian bitch and saying he hated Indians even though he was Indian,โ€ Patel said, adding that she was so disturbed by the incident that she filed a report with the NYPD. Nothing happened, and Aroraโ€™s behavior took a sharp turn for the worse. + +On January 14, Arora was arrested for allegedly refusing to pay for dinner at a sushi restaurant in Tribeca. Three days later, he was arrested again for menacing and criminal possession of a weapon when he threatened someone in downtown Manhattan. His mother, Chancal, bailed him out, showing up at a court hearing with an employee from Recovery Centers of America in the hopes of shuttling her son directly to the mental health and alcohol treatment facility near their home in New Jersey. They didnโ€™t even have a chance. According toย Chancal, Arora slipped out of the courthouse after he was released from custody. In an interview, Arora claimed he was sent to Bellevue Hospital for a psychological evaluation after the hearing and that by the time he returned to the courthouse, his mother and the recovery centerย  employee were already gone. Regardless, Chancal was frustrated by the courtโ€™s unwillingness or inability to force her son into treatment, and she left uncertain whether she would see him before his next arrest. + +A little over a week later, Arora went on his rampage through Fort Greene. Fed up, Evelinaโ€™s de Francisci posted a video of security-camera footage on Instagram, urging anyone who saw Arora to call the police. A few days later, one of Evelinaโ€™s regulars saw him in Soho and called 911. Arora was arrested and sent to Rikers Island. A grand jury charged him with two counts of felony criminal mischief and one misdemeanor. + +Arora has yet to be arraigned on his most recent charges, but because of the severity of the charges and his lengthy criminal record, he now faces years in prison. โ€œHeโ€™s committing criminal acts, but itโ€™s more the result of mental illness than anything else. Heโ€™s a real pleasant guy when heโ€™s on his meds, but when heโ€™s off, heโ€™s totally irrational,โ€ said Steven Alan Hoffner, one of Aroraโ€™s attorneys. โ€œHeโ€™s just sick.โ€ + +But some of Aroraโ€™s victims are unwilling to accept that premise. โ€œI know people with bipolar disorder. The mood swings donโ€™t transform people into violent monsters,โ€ said de Francisci. โ€œHeโ€™s the cause of his issues.โ€ + +During phone calls from Rikers, Arora defended himself by saying the Brooklyn business owners had previously antagonized him while also acknowledging his struggles with bipolar disorder and alcohol use. โ€œYou lose absolute control of judgment. Add the vodka and things get aggressive,โ€ he said. He blamed his parents for not bailing him out of Rikers and getting him into a treatment program while he awaits trial. + +Chancal said she canโ€™t put together the money for her sonโ€™s bail and sheโ€™s lost faith in her own ability to keep him in a treatment program.

Lisa Avalos, a law professor at Louisiana State University who studies false-rape prosecutions, told me, โ€œIt absolutely happens regularly throughout the country, but itโ€™s an ad-hoc system.โ€ With the help of a researcher, Cleuci de Oliveira, I filed public-records requests in every county in Ohio and found that, in the past fifteen years, at least twenty-five people have been prosecuted for the crime, including one who was thirteen years old. Nearly all of them pleaded guilty. The only false-alarms rape case in Ohio known to reach an appeals court involved a woman who had been convicted of the crime, in 1997, after she reported that a man she had met at a bar had followed her home and forced her to have sex. She and her alleged rapist agreed on most facts of their encounter except whether the sex was consensual. The appeals court overturned the womanโ€™s conviction and questioned the โ€œwisdom and fairnessโ€ of charging someone with making false alarms when the crucial questionโ€”whether an encounter was rapeโ€”โ€œdepends on whose version of the event is believed.โ€ (The court wrote that the police โ€œbelieved from the outset that \[the woman\] was lying and proceeded to investigate a claim against her rather than the reported rape.โ€) -False-allegation prosecutions offer a response to the imperative, popularized by the #MeToo movement, to believe women. News of the cases often circulates on menโ€™s-rights Web sites, providing a counternarrative: women are vindictive and desperate for attention, and believing them is a waste of public resources. Nancy Grigsby, who has worked for forty years in organizations that address violence against women, said she has observed that, in the wake of #MeToo, โ€œthe eye rolls are bigger now, like โ€˜Here they come with their liberation stuff.โ€™ย โ€ Last year, in the county where Grigsby lives, in Ohio, a woman reported to the police that her ex-boyfriend had raped her and then forced her to go to stores to return gifts that he had given her. But when video footage at a mall showed that the woman did not appear the way the police imagined a rape victim to look, the police dropped their investigation against the ex-boyfriend. Instead, the woman was charged with filing a false report. Grigsby told me, โ€œIt is a rural county, and it doesnโ€™t take very long for people to hear that story and decide, Iโ€™m not calling the police if I get raped.โ€ +False-allegation prosecutions offer a response to the imperative, popularized by the `#MeToo` movement, to believe women.

Nancy Grigsby, who has worked for forty years in organizations that address violence against women, said she has observed that, in the wake of `#MeToo`, โ€œthe eye rolls are bigger now, like โ€˜Here they come with their liberation stuff.โ€™ย โ€ Last year, in the county where Grigsby lives, in Ohio, a woman reported to the police that her ex-boyfriend had raped her and then forced her to go to stores to return gifts that he had given her.

Grigsby told me, โ€œIt is a rural county, and it doesnโ€™t take very long for people to hear that story and decide, Iโ€™m not calling the police if I get raped.โ€ The legal system generally puts sexual intercourse into two categoriesโ€”rape or not rapeโ€”a binary that is at odds with the way these things often unfold: two drunk people with unequal power who find themselves sexually involved for reasons that are complex and unstated. Such encounters are rarely not confusing. It may be impossible to locate an objective truth about each participantโ€™s state of mind. And yet the spectre of the lying, manipulative woman is sufficiently pervasive that reports of assault that lack evidence can get wrongly classified as acts of willful mischief or revenge. The most comprehensive analysis of sexual-assault reports, published by the Home Office in the U.K. in 2005, found that, in a sample collected during a fifteen-year period, the police had labelled about eight per cent of rape complaints โ€œfalse,โ€ but often for shaky reasons, such as the complainant being inconsistent or mentally ill. Jordan, the author of โ€œThe Word of a Woman?,โ€ told me that even when a complaint is false the circumstances that give rise to the report rarely indicate malice. She said, โ€œWomen with past abuse histories may conflate past trauma with present experiences, so the falseness comes from a place of genuine confusion and signals high vulnerability, not vindictiveness.โ€ We expect victims to have unblemished histories, in part because sexual violence is addressed at the individual level, where, for good reason, the burden of proof is high; less attention is paid to the social and structural reasons that people become victimsโ€”the imbalances of power that shape identities over a lifetime. diff --git a/00.03 News/The Women Who Ran Genghis

They were rewarded mostly in dinky plastic trophies and bragging rights, plus the occasional cash prize.ย  + +But the boys had bigger ambitions. When Sergio was about 15, and Arnold about 13, they started training informally with a white coach named Eugene Botha. Then in his late 20s, Eugene was short and jovial, with the twitchy excitability of a boxer. He'd been a pro runner in Johannesburg. Now, he ran a fire extinguisher business in the town of Bethlehem, 165 miles to the southeast. The tidy town center โ€“ once named the cleanest town in South Africa โ€“ was nearly all white. The township of matchbox houses and shacks crowded together on its perimeter was all Black.ย  + +Eugene ran his business from his living room and coached high school running on the side. Sergio and Arnold noticed that his runners were good. They wanted to know how he did it.ย  + +Eugene was charmed by the brothers' drive to show what they could do on a bigger stage. "A runner can always recognize another runner," Eugene tells me. "They were the best in Phuthaditjhaba. At all the races they entered, they won them by far." Sergio, he says, "had the style, the strength, the everything."ย  + +Eugene's business often brought him to Phuthaditjhaba, an hour drive from Bethlehem, and he began taking Sergio and Arnold on long runs through the mountains, or to a track for speedwork drills. It wasn't yet clear to him if Sergio and Arnold were just Phuthaditjhaba good or once-in-a-generation good. But they had pluck. + +From the start, the boys were impatient. They wanted to run longer distances, the ones with the big prize money. Hold back, Eugene told them. It didn't make sense to punish their bodies like that, not when they had so much potential, not when they were just getting started.ย ย  + +Against their mentor's advice Sergio and Arnold decided the Comrades was the race to win. And not in ten years. Now.ย  + +\*\*\* + +Five hours and 40 minutes after the crack of the start gun, Sergio Motsoeneng staggers across the finish line at Kingsmead Cricket Ground in Durban. He looks dazed as a race official drapes him in a blue and white Powerade towel. Ninth place, behind a mix of Black and white runners. It's not the record-breaking run he was hoping for, but it is, unequivocally, a phenomenal performance. He'll get R6000 ($1000) in prize money, plus a medal made of real gold.ย  + +The TV commentators are stunned. A top ten finish from a no-name runner, and on his first go no less? "Motsoeneng coming through and surprising us all," marvels Bruce Fordyce, a nine-time Comrades winner turned pundit.ย ย  + +That night, there's a dinner for Sergio's running club, Rentmeester Reparil Gel, which takes its tongue-twisting name from the insurance company and pain relief gel that co-sponsor it. It's one of the country's elite clubs, and its runners have done well. Four, including Sergio, finished in the top ten, and three more in the top 50. Everyone is celebrating, drinking beer, slapping each other on the back. Andrew Kelehe, a runner who finished third โ€” though he'd land in second place after another runner was disqualified for doping โ€” and one of the coaches, John Hamlett, will tell me later that Sergio looked off. He's being really quiet, maybe he's sick.ย  + +By the time Sergio arrives back in Phuthaditjhaba the next day, he's all smiles. His family meets him outside their two-bedroom brick house in a flurry of hugs and tears.ย  + +They all watched the race together on their tiny black and white TV, squinting for footage of Sergio at the front of the pack, they tell him. It was only at the end that they'd spotted him, as the TV cameras panned to Sergio sprinting to the finish just ten minutes behind the winner, arms pumping and face drawn. They'd spend the whole night singing and praising god and dancing in the street.ย  + +"You've opened the future for all of us," Joseph Mphuthi, another runner and an old friend of Sergio's, tells him. + +The prize money is a far cry from the R1.1 million Sergio had dreamed of, but it's not nothing either. He buys groceries for the family, new shoes for himself, cloth for the tailoring business that Arnold has started in Bloemfontein, three hours away.ย  + +Their father had told them, more than once, to cut it out with the running. He was fed up with his sons constantly begging him for taxi fare and race entry money, and he didn't hesitate to tell them, you boys need real jobs. His rages were red-hot, often stoked by alcohol.ย  + +But a top 10 finish in South Africa's most prestigious race is something no one expected. This is the moment, Sergio thinks, when everything changes.ย  + +\*\*\* + +A few weeks later, Eugene is home in Bethlehem when his phone rings. It's someone from Rentmeester, Sergio's running club.ย  + +Do you know the runner, Motsoeneng? The caller asks. + +Yes, I do. + +Do you know there are two of them, brothers?ย  + +I do.ย  + +Would you be able to tell them apart? + +Of course.ย  + +Ok, says the man on the other end, we're going to fax you some photos now. Please tell us what you see.ย  + +A minute later, Eugene is staring at side-by-side images of a lanky Black runner wearing the number 13018. There's a blue and green Rentmeester singlet hanging off his trim frame, a black cap is pulled low over his face, and he has on a pair of blue and yellow Nikes.ย  + +Immediately, Eugene sees the problem. The runner on the right is clearly Sergio. Ropey and slight, he has soaring cheekbones and a torso so thin you can see the air ripple through his lungs when he breathes. His fists are balled and he's wearing a pink watch on his right wrist.ย  + +![Two side-by-side pictures of a runner.](data:image/svg+xml,%3C%3Fxml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'%3F%3E%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' width='1' height='1'/%3E) + +A side-by-side comparison of Sergio Motsoeneng and his brother, Arnold Motsoeneng, racing in the Comrades in 1999. + +Gail Irwin/Reuters + +Eugene studies the picture on the left. This runner looks stockier and there's a scar running down his right shin. His head is tilted forward, and his face is shrouded by the bill of his cap. He's also wearing a watch, but it's yellow and on his left wrist.ย  + +Eugene's stomach drops. The runner on the left โ€“ Eugene has no doubt โ€“ is Sergio's brother Arnold. + +Within a few days, the two pictures will be splashed across the front pages of South Africa's biggest newspapers.ย  + +\*\*\* + +The sun is setting quickly as I scramble up the steep hillside outside Phuthaditjhaba. Ahead of me, Arnold Motsoeneng moves nimbly, hopping over rocks and thorn bushes with the light, sure-footed steps of someone who has run this route many times before.ย  + +For going on thirty years, this mountain he and Sergio nicknamed the Titanic, for its sharp pointed slope, is where they have trained, back and forth, up and down, until their legs and lungs burned. Tonight, though, we are walking, Arnold at the front, Sergio and another brother, Moratoe, at the back, and me in the middle, taking big ragged breaths in the thin air. "You doing ok?" Arnold calls back to me. His voice is warm and gentle, and he smiles at me with the same dazzling cheekbones that graced magazine covers in 1999 beside headlines about the "Crooked Comrades 'Twins.'" I smile back, flashing him a thumbs up.ย  + +A few weeks earlier, I was home in Johannesburg, Sergio's number punched into my phone, screwing up the courage to start the call. By then, I'd spent hours scouring the internet for information about the Motsoenengs, reading article after article with titles like "Two Brothers, One Ultramarathon, and the Greatest Cheat in Running History" and "Top 10 Worst Sporting Cheats."ย  + +They all told the same basic story, although some of the details were fuzzy: In 1999, two lookalike brothers concocted a clever plan to win the Comrades. They ran the race as a relay, swapping their clothes and shoes in portable toilets along the route. If they hadn't forgotten to swap their watches, too, they might have pulled it off.ย  + +Some of the retellings had it โ€” mistakenly โ€” that the brothers were identical twins. One had Sergio and Arnold speeding between handoff points in a getaway car, as if part of an elegantly choreographed heist. One or two stories speculated that a third runner, a "Mr. X," had also run parts of the race.ย  + +The stories hinted at a bigger anxiety. This was, remember, a fragile moment in the life of the new South Africa. There were plenty of people out there, white people especially, who were still praying to see it fail. Reporters from the time wrote that the brothers were "getting rich" off their "skullduggery" and opined that they'd "turned an illustrious event into a race of shame." + +"People were saying, 'look what they did to this race, that's what they'll do to the country," remembers Dana Snyman, a white tabloid journalist from the time.ย  + +So when I reached Sergio and made my pitch for an interview, it surprised me that he seemed willing to hear me out. Sure, what they'd done was unethical, I said. But they'd also grown up in apartheid South Africa, one of the most immoral systems imaginable. Weren't they just giving themselves an advantage in a world that had disadvantaged them in every possible way?ย  + +I tell him, their story rang like a kind of analogue prequel to twenty-first century shaming, where seemingly all of society lays into someone's bad behavior and leaves them branded forever. They'd done an idiotic thing when they were young and now, 23 years later, it was still the one thing most people knew about them. I wanted to hear their side, and to know what they'd made of their lives in the long shadow of this scandal.ย  + +Sergio invited me to come meet him. He'd show me around, he said, and help me make sense of what had really happened. "Trust me," he said, "I'll explain everything."ย  + +So that's how I end up here, catching my breath on a mountain top. From up here, Phuthaditjhaba stretches out below us like a scale model of a city. The Motsoeneng brothers pointed out their schools, their favorite running routes, and the old track stadium where Sergio and Arnold won races as teenagers.ย  + +![Two men stand on an incline with mountains in the background.](data:image/svg+xml,%3C%3Fxml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'%3F%3E%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' width='1' height='1'/%3E) + +Arnold (left) and Sergio. + +Ryan Brown for insider + +In those days, they didn't run for South Africa, but for QwaQwa โ€“ one of ten "homelands" established for Black South Africans. According to the apartheid government, South Africa was actually a mosaic of different, separate nations, coexisting in beautiful harmony, and QwaQwa was a tiny nub of land backing up against Lesotho.ย  + +The homeland system, much like apartheid, was an elaborate display of racist make-believe. Tiny, non-contiguous territories โ€“ supposedly, the original territory of different Black South African ethnic groups โ€“ dotted across the country. Naturally, those territories comprised only 13 percent of the land, in a country where three quarters of the population was Black, and excluded the country's best farmland, and its wealthy mineral reserves. + +The family arrived here in 1987. Sergio and Arnold's father Jonas was hired as a school caretaker, and squashed in the two-bedroom caretakers' cottage. Jonas and his wife, Emily, were both from a nearby farm in "white" South Africa's eastern Orange Free State, where their families had been long-term tenants of a family of white farmers. Emily left school in at the age of 10ย  to take care of the white family's baby. Jonas milked their cows.ย  + +Sergio could remember, when he was little, watching how the white farmer ran his tractor, harvesting field after field of maize and beans. When he was done, Sergio's father and the other Black farmworkers walked those same fields, picking up for themselves whatever the white man had left behind.ย  + +But if opportunities still seemed dim for Emily and Jonas' generation, their children expected more.ย  + +Even as most of the country remained under strict racial segregation, South Africa's apartheid government cared enough about getting back into international sports that it agreed to integrate running. In 1975, Black runners, and women, were allowed to compete in the Comrades for the first time.ย  + +Other major races also integrated, and soon, Black runners dominated the sport. Eugene, who started competing in the late 1980s, recalls competing in the 1991 City to City ultra-marathon from Johannesburg to Pretoria and finishing ninth, behind eight Black runners. As an incentive to keep up white runners' spirits now that they were regularly bested by Black athletes, Eugene's running club gave him a bonus for finishing first among white runners, he told me. + +Sergio and Arnold were the athletes of their family. Although they were two years apart in age, they started school together on the farm, and from the time they were young, they were inseparable. Two boys who seemed to know each other's thoughts without asking. *Mafahla*, the other kids called them, *the twins*. "We didn't have another friend," Sergio remembers.ย  + +![A view of mountains.](data:image/svg+xml,%3C%3Fxml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'%3F%3E%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' width='1' height='1'/%3E) + +The mountains around Witsieshoek rise high in the Drakensberg region in South Africa. + +COLLART Hervรฉ/Sygma via Getty Images + +People were constantly confusing him and Arnold, stopping him on the street to congratulate him for a race Arnold had won, and vice versa.ย  + +In his teens, Sergio was named to a South African development squad for young athletes, which meant he was supposed to focus on short-distance training and stay away from long racesย  But he couldn't help himself, the prize money for marathons was too good. So yes, he once ran a marathon and then told officials to record the finish as Arnold's.ย ย  + +Who was it hurting? Everyone always said they looked like twins anyway.ย  + +\*\*\* + +Back to 1999. Eugene can see the story has legs.ย  + +Even before the photos dropped on his fax tray, there'd been questions.ย  + +Not long after the race, Nick Bester, the Comrades' 15th place finisher, lodged a complaint with the Comrades Marathon Association, the CMA. A timing mat showed that the runner registered as Sergio Motsoeneng passed the race's halfway point 7 minutes behind Nick Bester. But somehow, that same runner beat him by eight minutes.ย  + +At first, the Comrades dismissed the allegations. Then, Nick helped dig up these race photos.ย  + +As soon as Eugene hangs up with the official from Sergio's club, he calls Clem Harrington.ย  + +A prosecutor in the old South Africa, Clem was also a Comrades veteran who'd run it 21 times before he turned 40, some kind of record. Clem was the kind of guy who could fight for โ€“ or against โ€“ anyone, and win. And that, Eugene thought, was what the Motsoenengs needed.ย ย  + +They confront Sergio together, and Clem proposes a solution: Sell the story to a tabloid. Confess everything. Say how deeply sorry they are. The money's gone, so use the tabloid's fee to pay it back. You might save your running career. And it might still be a good one โ€“ after all, Sergio's marathon best was a 2:19, and even running half a Comrades at the pace you did is no joke.ย  + +Sergio agrees, and Clem negotiates the fee with the *Huisgenoot*, a Afrikaans tabloid known for its scoops and celebrity gossip. A few days later, reporter Dana Synman comes to the cottage in Phuthaditjhaba and interviews the brothers for four hours, while a knot of other journalists huddle outside. + +"The overwhelming impression I got from them was sincere," the journalist remembers. "They were desperate and they were naรฏve. They tried their luck, and they didn't get away with it. It's not like robbing a bank. To run a Comrades, even half a Comrades, that's very tough."ย  + +The story appears on the cover of the *Huisgenoot* under the headline POOR BROTHERS' DREAM BECOMES A NIGHTMARE. Inside, there's a photo of Sergio with his arm draped over Arnold, the famous pink watch dangling from his wrist. "I am sorry about what happened at the Comrades," Sergio is quoted saying. "But people also need to know: I did not kill. I'm just tired of being poor." + +A few days after the story appears, Eugene, Clem, and Sergio drive to Pietermaritzburg to return the medal and hand over that fistful of cash. Sergio tells the CMA board how sorry he is and Clem asks for the minimum sentence. "We ask South Africa to forgive him," he pleads.ย  + +![Three men hold](data:image/svg+xml,%3C%3Fxml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'%3F%3E%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' width='1' height='1'/%3E) + +An old photograph of Eugene, Clem, and Sergio, held by Eugene. + +Curtesy of Eugene Botha + +It's been an embarrassing year all around for the CMA, actually. In addition to Sergio, two other runners in the top ten have been disqualified, both for doping. The winners' tables keep shifting, prize money keeps getting returned.ย  + +In the end, Sergio and Arnold get a five-year ban from the Comrades. Clem is satisfied โ€“ it's punishment enough to scare them straight, and they'll still be young enough to compete. They'll have a chance, one day, to put this behind them, and maybe turn an embarrassing story into a triumphant one.ย  + +But shame blooms out from the lie like a bloodstain, dark and heavy and hard to wash out. "My heart was broken," says Emily, their mother. "I still don't believe they ever cheated.ย  + +"We just wanted to forget it ever happened," Sergio's wife, who was then his girlfriend, tells me.ย  + +Not long after the scandal slid out of the public eye, Jonas Motsoeneng learned he had brain cancer. He died in the early hours of January 1, 2000, as South Africa spun into a new millennium.ย  + +\*\*\* + +When we finally get into it, Sergio and Arnold claim they can't remember exactly when they decided they would cheat, or whose idea it was to begin with. Sergio had been training, really training, he says. But when he heard about Rentmeester's R1 million reward, something inside him shifted.ย  + +Together, they scrutinized the course map, which showed the portable toilets. They picked a spot, just before halfway, where they hoped it would be easy to slip in and out of the crowd. And that was it.ย  + +It was Arnold who had started the race in Pietermaritzburg, they say. At the agreed-upon spot, they'd both slipped into the cramped space of a portable toilet and hurriedly peeled off their clothes.ย  + +Suddenly, bang! There was a knock at the door. + +Sergio, are you in there? It was Dewald Steyn, one of Rentmeester's managers. I've got your energy drinks out here for you. + +Inside the toilet, the men froze. They couldn't open the door now. He'd see for sure that there were two of them inside. + +I feel sick, Sergio called back out. + +Hurry up, Dewald said. You're losing time. + +Outside, he waited. Inside, they waited. + +Finally, Dewald said he'd leave the drinks, and walked off. Sergio and Arnold waited a little longer, then Sergio slipped out the door, and onto the road to run the race's second half. Arnold waited a little longer, then hitched a ride back to Durban, where he caught a mini-bus taxi home.ย  + +![Runners line up to use portable bathrooms.](data:image/svg+xml,%3C%3Fxml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'%3F%3E%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' width='1' height='1'/%3E) + +Runners use the bathrooms before the start of the start of the 94th edition of the Comrades Marathon in 2019. + +RAJESH JANTILAL/AFP via Getty Images + +But many of the Motsoeneng's contemporaries in South African running say the story still feels fuzzy, incomplete. "They were in the toilets so long, they would have had to cut the course to make up the time," Nick says when I call him.ย  + +And many suspect this hadn't been the first time they cheated. Arnold entered the Comrades in 1998, but dropped out around halfway โ€“ had that been a dress rehearsal? A handoff gone wrong? And then there was the City to City Marathon in 1998. "We" โ€“ the front runners "were far, far ahead of the rest of the guys," Nixon Nkodima, another professional runner, tells me. "Then suddenly this guy" โ€” Sergio โ€” "comes out of nowhere and passes us, like he's running a 5k pace \[45k's into an ultra\]. I thought, maybe he's on drugs." + +But Arnold, who has largely managed to stay out of the limelight, says there's no reason for them to retreat. "The only thing is that we were looking for cash," he tells me. "But apart from that, we knew we could make it." + +\*\*\*ย  + +There's a second chapter to this story that makes a bit of a mess of the narrative that made me want to talk to the brothers in the first place.ย  + +When the ban that Clem had brokered lifted, both Sergio and Arnold started racing again, and winning. In 2009, Sergio made a triumphant return to the Comrades, and the following year, in 2010, he had a breakthrough race. In a photo taken as he sprints towards the finish line, he's grinning, an inversion of the tense, drawn face he wore when he crossed the line a decade before. He finished third. + +Speaking to the press afterwards, Sergio is again a model of contrition, saying he's now a family man who'd paid his dues and learned from his mistakes.ย  + +"It just goes to show he did not have to do what he did in 1999," said Cheryl Winn from the Comrades Marathon Association, co-signing his narrative of redemption. "He has great ability." + +But six weeks later, the Comrades announced the results of its drug testing of top finishers. Sergio's has come back positive for a performance-enhancing steroid called Norandrosterone. + +\*\*\*ย  + +"When they told me I'm positive, I told them, go to hell," Sergio tells me now. He, of all people, knew how a decision like that could snap a life in two.ย  + +We're sitting on a covered porch, beside the brick house he's been building for the last decade and a half in a neighborhood of Phuthaditjhaba called Elite. He's been doing the work himself, by hand, adding a room every time he gets a bit of money. The building sits at a slightly precarious angle to the rocky ground. Its walls bow gently inward.ย  + +Today, Sergio works as a teacher and drives an old green forest green Mercedes, which is parked out front. He has a daughter in university and a wife he lists in his phone as "The Love of My Life." His ten pit bulls clatter around in the house. Both he and Arnold coach running on the side.ย  + +In person, Sergio fizzes with charisma and warmth. But he also holds me at arm's length. I ask to visit the school where he works, but he demurs, saying he would rather not remind his colleagues of the scandal. As it is, when he disciplines his students, he says, the pluckier ones demand to know why they should have to listen to a liar and a cheat like him.ย  + +Of course he didn't cheat at the Comrades in 2010, he tells me. He can't prove it but offers some theories.ย  + +Nandrolone, Sergio says, is found in uncastrated pigs, and there are known cases where athletes tested positive after consuming wild pork. He ate a lot of meat when he was training hard. And also, rumors have swirled for years about Comrades athletes and coaches spiking their rivals' sports drinks, or swapping urine samples before they were shipped off to the lab. Maybe it was that. + +And what about what happened to Ludwick Mamabolo, he says, the man whose Comrades win in 2012, two years after Sergio was disqualified, was revoked after he tested positive for a stimulant? His lawyers argued the Comrades' procedures for doping testing had been so haphazard, it was impossible to say with any certainty if the sample tested had even been Ludwick's at all. Ludwick was exonerated and got his title back.ย  + +![A runner reaching the finish line.](data:image/svg+xml,%3C%3Fxml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'%3F%3E%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' width='1' height='1'/%3E) + +Ludwick Mamabolo crosses the Comrades Marathon finish line in 2012. After he disqualified for testing positive for a stimulant, he challenged the test and got his title back. + +RAJESH JANTILAL/AFP/GettyImages + +I looked into all of it, and even spoke to Ludwick's lawyer. But their cases seemed fundamentally different โ€“ you could slip the substance Ludwick tested positive for into a sports drink. Nandrolone, by contrast, is usually injected. South Africa's anti-doping body, meanwhile, destroys case records after ten years, and I couldn't find anyone who believed enough in Sergio to plead his case. + +Except, of course, Arnold. "If he took it, I would know. Each and everywhere he goes, I go," Arnold tells me.ย  + +Those results shattered them both. "I knew, that's it for him," Arnold says. Gone, was any hope of convincing people they'd just made a stupid mistake all those years before.ย  + +It doesn't make any sense that Sergio would cheat, Arnold keeps saying. It just doesn't make any sense.ย  + +\*\*\* + +It's hard, sometimes, not to read everything that happens in South Africa as a metaphor. This is a country where the jailers handed the keys to the inmates, and everyone was told to *forgive.* While the whole world watched, Nelson Mandela shook hands with apartheid's last president, FW de Klerk, and told him, *What is past, is past* โ€“ "Wat is verby, is verby!" + +The story of two young men, born into one of the most unequal societies on earth, trying โ€“ imperfectly, deceitfully โ€“ to find their way out of it also feels like something bigger than itself. It's a version of what South Africans have been doing for a generation now since the end of apartheid. As Sergio tells me, "Nobody wants to be poor forever." + +![A runner holds a portrait of Nelson Mandela.](data:image/svg+xml,%3C%3Fxml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'%3F%3E%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' width='1' height='1'/%3E) + +A Comrades Marathon runner holds a portrait of late South African icon Nelson Mandela in 2014. + +RAJESH JANTILAL/AFP via Getty Images + +For Sergio and Arnold, the past was something they believed they could, quite literally, outrun. It didn't turn out like that, but it didn't turn out like that for most Black South Africans either. In the generation since the end of apartheid, inequality has remained stubbornly persistent. The wealthiest 3,500 South Africans [own more](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-08-04/apartheid-legacy-maintains-south-african-wealth-gap-group-says?leadSource=uverify%20wall#xj4y7vzkg) than the poorest 32 million. Much of the country's elite is now Black, but so too are nearly all its poorest people. + +When Sergio and Arnold cheated, it felt to many like it was saying something not just about them, but about the moral character of Black South Africans generally. *Look*, they said, *this is who you've handed our country to*. As I sat speaking to Sergio, South Africa's president, Cyril Ramaphosa, was fighting for his political life after revelations that wads of cash, potentially ill-gotten, had been stolen from inside his sofa.ย  + +Of course corruption isn't limited to Black leaders, in South Africa or anywhere else. The apartheid regime was shot through with graft. Its first Black government inherited a state that was nearly bankrupt. And a generation, like Sergio and Arnold, came of age promised a world that was, for most of them, never going to materialize.ย  + +"You have to be Zola Budd level to get out of here," Eugene remarked to me, referring to the bare-footed white South African teenager who became a record-breaking runner for England in the 1980s. "People steal millions, and yet this \[Sergio\] is the guy they want to go after."ย  + +Now, sitting by Sergio's house, I listen carefully as he lays out his theories about that 2010 race.ย  + +I nod along, scribbling notes. It feels like we're up on that mountain in Phuthaditjhaba again. The world is laid out below us, small and vast and we can't quite make out all the details.ย  + +\*\*\* + +Toward the end of my trip, I'm with Arnold, twisting my car up a steep road to the border with Lesotho. + +![A view of mountains.](data:image/svg+xml,%3C%3Fxml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'%3F%3E%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' width='1' height='1'/%3E) + +The Maluti Mountains, as seen from Butha Buthe, Lesotho, in 2021. + +Sumaya Hisham/Reuters + +He wanted to show me this route where they used to train, 20 kilometers up, 20 kilometers down, waving to the border guards as they went.

The mostly male interlocutors were bizarrely obsessed with her appearance (her breasts), and they leered and ogled and asked vapid, degrading questions that Anderson largely tolerated with an almost preternatural patience and humor. She knew her lane and was willing to stay in it. In several interviews, she reaches a point where she is clearly done with the condescension and lets them know she is more than fodder for male fantasy. Sadly, these valiant stands were mostly ignored. How could the interviewers recognize her humanity while so fixated on her buxom assets? + +After a sex tape, compiled from stolen home videos made by Anderson and her then-husband Tommy Lee, was released without the coupleโ€™s consent, the interviews became even more ridiculous. And it was clear everyone thought it was fair and reasonable to treat Anderson like a hypersexual punch line. She had posed in *Playboy*, after all. She dared to have sex with her husband and document it. She dared to exist. She was a public figure with a publicly coveted figure, and that superseded her right to privacy or respect. Even a judge said so when Anderson and Lee tried to adjudicate the matter of the sex tape. + +For Gen-Xers like me, Anderson was either the *Playboy* centerfold or the *Baywatch* babe or the celebrity with the sex tape. Thatโ€™s a narrow way of thinking of someone, but popular culture has a tendency to distill its most prominent figures down to the shallowest, most consumable versions of themselves. Decades in retrospect, many people are realizing just how terribly Anderson has been treated juxtaposed with the extent of her cultural impact. They are searching for that redemptive arc or trying, in some way, to right a wrong. + +Anderson rose to fame in the late 1980s and 1990s, posing for *Playboy* and appearing on the cover a record 14 times over nearly 30 years. As an actress, she was Lisa the โ€œTool Time girlโ€ on two seasons of *Home Improvement.* She starred in *Baywatch*, a show about attractive Los Angeles lifeguards and their misadventures. The series did everything it could to exploit her good looks, and given the showโ€™s premise, she spent most of her time scantily clad, running along the beach, practically bouncing with each step, or emerging from the water as if nary a drop had touched her. She appeared in a few movies, but acting was not her forte. That did not matter. She had charm and charisma and, of course, her looks. That was more than enough. For a time, she was one of the most famous and recognizable women in the world. + +In *Pamela: A Love Story*, we follow Anderson as she narrates her life from her childhood to the present day. She now lives in Ladysmith, British Columbia, where she was born and raised. We meet her sons, Brandon and Dylan. We watch as she stands in the kitchen with her mother, talking. We see her rehearsing for and performing in the Broadway musical *Chicago.* The present-day narrative is interspersed with clips from her life and career. She has hundreds of videotapes in her personal archive documenting nearly everything, which the director draws from liberally. And then, of course, there are the media clips of mostly men making absolute fools of themselves in her presence. It would be funny if it werenโ€™t so embarrassing and repulsive. + +While Anderson has enjoyed a bounty of privilege, it has come at a very high price. She has sacrificed her privacy and had to endure a bewildering amount of bad behavior. At one point in the documentary, she discusses her finances, and we learn she has made no money from the sex tape. She earns little money from *Baywatch* despite her singular role in making that series hugely popular. In 1996, it was the most widely seen show in the world with more than 1.1 billion people tuning in each week. It is inexplicable that she has little to show for that. Bad management, exploitation, naรฏvetรฉ โ€” an all too familiar story. Anderson doesnโ€™t seem particularly angry about any of this, but in media appearances, her son Brandon is more than willing to carry that torch on her behalf. + +Alongside the documentary, Anderson has released a new memoir, *Love, Pamela.* From the outset, she makes it clear she wrote the book herself despite the protestations (underestimations, likely) of others. She tells her story, in her own words, with a blend of not-very-good-but-refreshingly-earnest poetry and capable, equally earnest prose. The memoir offers what seems like a rather gilded set of memories, even though many of the experiences Anderson details are traumatic or troubling. She has clearly known more than her fair share of suffering โ€” childhood poverty, domestic violence, multiple incidents of sexual violence, abusive boyfriends, lousy husbands, the injustice of the court of public opinion. And still she shares these disturbing stories with an almost Zen attitude, as if she has made peace with it all. Anderson makes her life read like a fairy tale โ€” the dark, gritty kind in which still, at the center of it all, there is a princess searching. + +As with many celebrity projects, there are intriguing revelations. If your interest is prurient, you wonโ€™t be disappointed, but, again, you will only learn so much. While a significant amount of the narrative is given over to her childhood, she rushes through most of her romantic relationships and their dissolutions. After Tommy Lee, the love of her life, there are all kinds of lovers and husbands and ambiguous assignations including Kid Rock, Rick Salomon, Jon Peters, David Charvet, Scott Baio, Dean Cain, even Julian Assange. She talks about Hugh Hefner as if he is something of a deity, and that is fitting, I suppose, given the role he played in her stardom. She writes about selling her Malibu mansion (for [$11.8 million](https://www.latimes.com/business/real-estate/story/2021-08-11/pamela-anderson-sells-malibu-home-of-two-decades-for-11-8-million)) and how that has set her up for the rest of her life. She talks about her activism, mostly centered on animals, and all things considered, she seems content, at peace, living on her farm with her parents and her dogs. + +And yet, in 2022, Hulu released *Pam & Tommy,* a miniseries fictionalizing Anderson and Leeโ€™s relationship, the theft of the sex tape, and the aftermath. Once again, a version of Andersonโ€™s story was told without her input or consent. Once again, she did not benefit financially from the exploitation of her story. We are open to cultural redemption until we arenโ€™t, I suppose. + +Meanwhile, Andersonโ€™s memoir and the documentary are complementary, curated artifacts of a life lived. For nearly 30 years, Anderson has seen alternate versions of her reality distorted by the media โ€” a Playmate multiverse, if you will. In the acknowledgments of *Love, Pamela*, Anderson says, โ€œIt is a celebration, a scrapbook of imperfect people living imperfect lives and finding the joy in that.โ€ The phrasing is an apt encapsulation of both the book and the documentary. In both projects, Anderson is telling her own story in her own words in her own way. That is to say we see and learn only what she wants us to see and learn. That circumspection is not unique to Anderson; any time someone shares pieces of themselves with the public, they are curating how they present themselves. That Anderson curates her life so carefully across these two projects is incredibly fitting, a small justice. + +This Is Pamela, Finally + +  +  + +--- +`$= dv.el('center', 'Source: ' + dv.current().Link + ', ' + dv.current().Date.toLocaleString("fr-FR"))` \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/00.03 News/This Whole Thing Has F---ed Me Upโ€™.md b/00.03 News/This Whole Thing Has F---ed Me Upโ€™.md index c0435c1a..1e4ab2a7 100644 --- a/00.03 News/This Whole Thing Has F---ed Me Upโ€™.md +++ b/00.03 News/This Whole Thing Has F---ed Me Upโ€™.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- -Tag: ["Crime", "Sport", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ", "๐Ÿˆ"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿš”", "๐Ÿฅ‰", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ", "๐Ÿˆ"] Date: 2022-04-03 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/This developer sold pre-construction townhouses for $400,000.

In Fieldโ€™s new film, the main character, a world-renowned conductor, is defamed by a viral video. The shift in technology is just one measure of the astonishing gapโ€”sixteen yearsโ€”that it took for Fieldโ€™s name to return to the screen. His first two features, โ€œ[In the Bedroom](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2001/11/26/angry-people)โ€ (2001) and โ€œ[Little Children](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2006/10/16/small-worlds-2)โ€ (2006), were acclaimed chamber dramas that received a combined eight Academy Award nominations, establishing him as a bright light of indie filmmaking. Then he vanished, at least to moviegoers, until this past fall, when he emerged with โ€œ[Tรกr](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/10/10/cate-blanchett-is-imperious-and-incandescent-in-tar),โ€ starring Cate Blanchett as a baton-wielding maestro whose world crumbles under allegations that she has misused her power. + +So, where has Field been? One answer is Maine, where he and his wife, Serena Rathbun, have been raising their youngest son. Another is development hell, from which no light or movies escape. But neither answer captures the tortuous path that led Field, at fifty-eight, to the forefront of this yearโ€™s Oscar race, like Odysseus taking the long route home. When I met Field, one recent morning, he was in New York for a spate of awards campaigning. He was out of practice, and a bit bewildered. โ€œI donโ€™t remember being on the road this much,โ€ he told me at a hotel restaurant in Tribeca. With his salt-and-pepper goatee, stolid bearing, and cap for the Boston Beaneatersโ€”a nineteenth-century baseball team that morphed into the Atlanta Bravesโ€”he looked like a Little League dad (which he is). โ€œTรกrโ€ not only got made and releasedโ€”a fact that seemed to confound its writer-directorโ€”but has inspired vigorous discussion, whether about its [insights](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/what-tar-knows-about-the-artist-as-abuser) into sexual abuse and cancel culture, or about the [theory](https://slate.com/culture/2022/12/tar-cate-blanchett-movie-ending-explained-analyzed.html) that its final act occurs in the protagonistโ€™s mind. โ€œEvery filmmaker thinks about the intent of what theyโ€™re making and the desired reactions, but those are just dreams and hopes,โ€ Field told me. โ€œThe idea that thereโ€™s a fairly robust conversation about this is incredible.โ€ His voice softened. โ€œItโ€™s *incredible*.โ€ + +Even before the movie came out, something curious happened: people started talking about Lydia Tรกr as if she were a real person. Part of this sprang from the movieโ€™s resemblance to a bio-pic. Part of it was a Film Twitter in-joke. (Inevitably, someone started a [parody account](https://twitter.com/LydiaTarReal).) But much of it stemmed from the meticulousness with which Field constructed the character, who, in the film, has her own Wikipedia page, goes on Alec Baldwinโ€™s podcast, and is interviewed onstage by *The New Yorkerโ€™s* own [Adam Gopnik](https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/adam-gopnik), at a fictional New Yorker Festival. Itโ€™s easy (and fun!) to imagine her travelling the international-luminary circuit, alongside Yo-Yo Ma, Marina Abramoviฤ‡, and Mikhail Baryshnikov. Gopnik, in his introduction, details Tรกrโ€™s extensive achievements, including her early ethnographic field work in the Amazon and her tutelage under Leonard Bernstein. He also says that sheโ€™s an *EGOT* winnerโ€”Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tonyโ€”a detail that has tantalized Twitter, and which brought me to the question that I most wanted to ask Field: Would you please tell me how Tรกr got her *EGOT*? + +โ€œNo,โ€ he said. Not that he didnโ€™t have the answers. โ€œI keep that stuff in a box,โ€ he went on. โ€œIโ€™m very specific on what sheโ€™s won. Besides, I donโ€™t want to further this weird conspiracy that sheโ€™s actually a real person. Sheโ€™s definitely not real.โ€ As an awards-season [obsessive](https://www.amazon.com/Oscar-Wars-History-Hollywood-Sweat/dp/0062859013), I made it clear that I wasnโ€™t going to give up easily. I imagined, for instance, that the Tony was for incidental music for a playโ€”maybe an avant-garde revival directed by [Ivo van Hove](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/10/26/theatre-laid-bare), another international luminary?โ€”during a weak season for new musicals. Field looked stunned. โ€œThatโ€™s a pretty good guess,โ€ he said, coyly. As in, I was right? + +โ€œYeah,โ€ he admitted. โ€œItโ€™s Ivo.โ€ One down, three to go. + +โ€œTรกrโ€ begins where most movies end: with a full list of credits. When I asked Field about this choice, he said that it had to do with the โ€œpyramid of power,โ€ on which someone like Tรกr stands at the apex. โ€œWhat are the cornerstones of a pyramid, and how does that support the top?โ€ he explained. โ€œThe lines of power really interest me: Who enables it, and what benefit do they get from it? And when is it no longer a benefit?โ€ By listing the gaffers and sound technicians at the beginning of the movie instead of the end, he inverts the pyramid, implicitly drawing a parallel between Tรกr and himself. Did that mean he saw in his own power a Tรกr-like capacity for corruption? โ€œI donโ€™t feel like I have any power at all,โ€ he said. โ€œI work seven days a week. Iโ€™m lucky to get five hours of sleep a night. I just feel like a panicked parent.โ€ + +Field led multiple lives before becoming a filmmaker. As an eleven-year-old growing up in Portland, Oregon, he went to a baseball camp run by Rob Nelson, the pitching coach for the independent team the Portland Mavericks. โ€œMy sister fell in love with him, they started dating, and the next thing I knew I was the batboy for this baseball team,โ€ Field recalled. The Mavericks were owned by the actors Bing Russell and his son, Kurt Russell, who was the teamโ€™s designated hitter, and with whom Field shared a locker. โ€œIt completely changed the way I thought about the world,โ€ he recalled. โ€œYou had all these guys who had no business playing baseball anymore, but believed that they could. And, when they got together, they beat the shit out of all these other guys, who were on their way to the major leagues.โ€ + +One day, at baseball camp, Nelson saw the young Field munching on licorice as if it were chewing tobacco and had a light-bulb moment. โ€œHe kept asking me, โ€˜Would you chew it if it was not licorice? Would you chew it if it was gum?โ€™ And I said, โ€˜I would, but itโ€™s gotta have the juice.โ€™ย โ€ Three years later, Nelson brought the super-juicy-baseball-gum concept to the former Yankee Jim Bouton, who pitched it to Wrigley. Nelson and Field mixed a prototype in Fieldโ€™s motherโ€™s kitchen, and it became [Big League Chew](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GyEkvqtHPs). โ€œRob has lived very handily off of that since 1980,โ€ Field said. He didnโ€™t get a cut of the profits, but reasoned, โ€œIf Iโ€™d had that kind of money as a young person, A) I wouldnโ€™t have done anything with my life, and B) given that it was the nineteen-eighties, I very likely would have got myself into a lot of trouble.โ€ + +His second life was as a jazz trombonist. In eighth grade, he and his best friend started sending away for albums. โ€œWeโ€™d wait for six months for them to arrive from Japan or Italy, and then we would sit down with manuscript paper and we would transcribe all the solos of J. J. Johnson or Freddie Hubbard,โ€ Field recalled. โ€œThen weโ€™d try to reproduce them, and thatโ€™s how we learned to play.โ€ At sixteen, Field joined a jazz band at Mt. Hood Community College, which played at a local jazz festival that attracted the greats, including a young Wynton Marsalis. While on a full music scholarship to Southern Oregon University, Field met Johnson himself, who advised Field, โ€œDonโ€™t do it, kid. Iโ€™m probably one of the best that ever was, and I canโ€™t get a gig. This form is dead.โ€ Within years, Marsalis helped revive jazz in America, but by then Field had gone on to Life No. 3: movie actor. + +He moved to New York at age nineteen, circa 1983, having acted in college theatre productions. One day, he went into Safari Grill, an uptown bar popular with actors, to apply for a bartending job, despite having no experience, and waited around for an hour. Then Liza Minnelli, who was lunching with Jimmy Connors, called him over, saying, โ€œYoung man! Young man!โ€ She grabbed his lapel and said, โ€œI love that jacket!โ€ This got the managerโ€™s attention, so Field lied and said heโ€™d been making Martinis for his mother since he was eight; he was hired as the bar manager. โ€œIt was a big celebrity hot spot,โ€ Field recalled. โ€œMike Nichols would come in. Meryl Streep would come in and hand me scripts and say, โ€˜Would you put these behind the bar?โ€™ So I met everyone.โ€ + +Cut to 1985. Woody Allenโ€™s unnamed fall project had an open *SAG* call for extras, at a church near Lincoln Center, and Field was now bartending nearby. Lacking a *SAG* card, he slipped in a side door, handed over his head shot, and stood under the light. โ€œTodd! Iโ€™ve been trying to find you,โ€ someone called out. It was the casting director Todd Thaler, who had organized wrap parties at the bar uptown. Field had slicked-back hair that made him look like Frank Sinatra, and Allen needed a Sinatra look-alike. โ€œWill you come in and meet with Woody tomorrow?โ€ Thaler asked. Field returned the next day, sang โ€œAll or Nothing at All,โ€ and landed the part of โ€œcroonerโ€ in โ€œRadio Days.โ€ + +More roles followed: the Western โ€œBack to Back,โ€ the military thriller โ€œFull Fathom Five,โ€ the disaster flick โ€œTwister.โ€ Field moved to California with Serena, but after a year he told her, โ€œI donโ€™t want to do this anymore. I really want to make my own stuff.โ€ He got an M.F.A. at the A.F.I. Conservatory and planned to quit acting, until Stanley Kubrick saw him in the indie drama โ€œRuby in Paradiseโ€ and cast him in โ€œEyes Wide Shut.โ€ Kubrick answered his technical questions, showed him dailies. But it was Tom Cruise, Field said, who told him, over dinner, โ€œYouโ€™re going to make movies.โ€ Field said that he had an idea based on a 1979 short story by Andre Dubus, but he probably couldnโ€™t get the rights. Cruise laid his megawatt can-do attitude on him: โ€œYouโ€™re just making excuses. *Figure it out*.โ€ Field wrote the script, got the rights, and made โ€œIn the Bedroom,โ€ starring Sissy Spacek. He was finally on Life No. 4: director. + +The film dรฉbuted at Sundance, in 2001, and was acquired by Miramax. Field was devastated, because Miramax meant [Harvey Weinstein](https://www.newyorker.com/tag/harvey-weinstein), who was notorious for recutting movies into shreds. โ€œI was weeping in the bathroom,โ€ Field said. โ€œI called up Tom Cruise and said, โ€˜Something terrible has happened.โ€™ He basically said, โ€˜This is how youโ€™re going to play it. Itโ€™s going to take you six months, and youโ€™ll beat him, but you have to do exactly what Iโ€™m going to tell you to do, step by step.โ€™ย โ€ The plan: let Weinstein cut it to ribbons, wait for it to test poorly, *then* pull out the raves from Sundance and suggest that he release it the exact way it was when heโ€™d bought it. Field followed Cruiseโ€™s advice, and it worked. โ€œIn the Bedroomโ€ grossed more than twenty-five times its budget and was nominated for five Oscars, including Best Picture. + +At the hotel, Field checked his watch. โ€œI have to go up to *MoMA*. Do you want to go with me?โ€ he asked. In the cab, I took a guess at the โ€œOโ€ in Tรกrโ€™s *EGOT*: Best Original Score for a prestige drama in the mid-two-thousands, around when Field made his second feature, โ€œLittle Children.โ€ Something produced by Scott Rudin? Field wouldnโ€™t confirm or deny, but he played along, riffing, โ€œIt would have been something like โ€˜The Hours,โ€™ย โ€ a Rudin project with an Oscar-nominated score by Philip Glass. โ€œAnd part of the drama around it was that Scott Rudin and Harvey Weinstein were having a massive fight over Tรกrโ€™s score. And there were lines hurled by Scott Rudin like, โ€˜Itโ€™s Philip Glass *all over again*!โ€™ย โ€ Two down. + +At *MoMA*, Field was led to a screening room, where in an hour there would be a special screening of โ€œTรกrโ€ for *SAG* voters, followed by a Q. & A.: a standard awards-season campaign stop. Field sat with a postproduction person from Focus Features and a sound technician and watched the opening sequence. He worried that an air vent was too loud: โ€œIs there any way we can kill that for the screening?โ€ Watching another scene, he wondered if the low range of the sound system was too thin. They skipped ahead to an orchestra scene. โ€œThose contrabasses, when they come inโ€”thatโ€™s always the telltale sign,โ€ he told the sound guy. โ€œThe last time we teched in here, I could feel the contrabasses underneath my forearms and my butt. You *want* to feel that.โ€ They pumped up the bass. + +โ€œOne of my many jobs in high school was a projectionist at a second-run movie house, so I ran six machines every night,โ€ he told me, as we walked out onto Fifty-third Street. โ€œYou have to tune a room, the same way you would tune a horn or an instrument.โ€ We turned onto Madison Avenue and sat in a diner. Field ordered a black coffee, and we talked about the sixteen-year gap in his filmography. Part of it, he had begun telling me earlier, was his own stubbornness: โ€œI have a very circumscribed set of rules for myself about the conditions under which I would undertake making a film.โ€ Plus, his priorities changed. On his Japanese press junket for โ€œLittle Children,โ€ Serena called to tell him that she was pregnant with their fourth child, and Field wanted to be a more present father than he had been for his older three. + +But he also undertook an extraordinary list of unrealized projects. He wrote an original script about a military recruiter, โ€œFor God & Country,โ€ but Leonardo DiCaprio passed, as did Christian Bale. He spent a year writing a political thriller with [Joan Didion](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/postscript/joan-didion-and-the-voice-of-america) (โ€œShe kept regular hours, and there was a certain hour where pencils were downโ€), intended for Blanchett, but no studio offered a worthwhile budget because the protagonist was a woman. He โ€œwasted about ten yearsโ€ adapting the novel โ€œ[The Creed of Violence](https://www.amazon.com/CREED-VIOLENCE-Boston-Teran-ebook/dp/B00TSRZ9VG/),โ€ after cycling through interest from Brad Pitt, DiCaprio, Bale, and Daniel Craig. He tried to adapt the novels โ€œ[Blood Meridian](https://www.amazon.com/Blood-Meridian-Evening-Redness-Hardcover/dp/0679641041)โ€ and โ€œ[Beautiful Ruins](https://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-Ruins-Novel-Jess-Walter/dp/0061928127/),โ€ but both needed more funding than he could get. He had an idea about the military deserter [Bowe Bergdahl](https://www.newyorker.com/news/john-cassidy/saving-sergeant-bergdahl-unanswered-questions), but Fieldโ€™s older son, who had been a medic in Afghanistan, warned him away. He thought of making a coming-of-age film about his time with the Portland Mavericks, but said, โ€œI donโ€™t know whether I want to trot that out for the public.โ€ And he spent some six months working on a Rudin-produced miniseries based on Jonathan Franzenโ€™s โ€œ[Purity](https://www.amazon.com/Purity-Novel-Jonathan-Franzen/dp/0374239215/),โ€ along with Franzen, Craig, and the playwright David Hare, which they hoped Showtime would use to launch into the streaming businessโ€”but, ultimately, it didnโ€™t. In the meantime, he directed commercials (Nascar, G.E.) and coached Little League. + +Field had been contemplating a character like Lydia Tรกr for a decade, but had never homed in on her profession. Eventually, Focus asked if he would be interested in writing a film about a conductor. He finally sat down to write โ€œTรกr,โ€ in March, 2020. The world is ending, he thought. Why not? โ€œI wrote the thing that I wanted to write,โ€ he told me. โ€œI would have bet my house that, when I turned it in, Focus would have said, โ€˜Weโ€™re not making this.โ€™ย โ€ But they said yes. Field protested: โ€œThis is a dangerous film. You canโ€™t make it!โ€ They insisted. By then, he was almost more comfortable *not* getting films made, and he worried about getting back on the bicycleโ€”especially after his younger son asked him, incredulous, โ€œHow do they know itโ€™s going to be any *good*?โ€ + +But Field was buoyed by the detailed biography heโ€™d constructed for Lydia Tรกr, including her *EGOT*โ€”which brought me to her Grammy. Maybe an early breakthrough recording? โ€œWell, if I look at her trajectory, her first Big Five orchestra appointment would have been with Cleveland, and she was combining composers of the canon with what would have been very cutting-edge, young, female composers,โ€ Field said. โ€œSo I imagine that she got her Grammy for probably a recording that she had composed, or a recording that she had made with maybe Caroline Shaw or Hildur Guรฐnadรณttir or somebody like that, back in the day. Something that is far afield from what sheโ€™s doing right now.โ€ + +Three down, one to go. The Emmy had me stumped. Was it a guest spot on โ€œSesame Streetโ€? An โ€œAmerican Mastersโ€-style documentary, maybe on Leonard Bernstein? โ€œYeah, it could be,โ€ Field said, sheepishly. โ€œThat would have been something she would have really embraced, to shore up her legacy story. It would be good for the Bernstein estate to let her lie about her association with Leonard Bernstein, even if she maybe never even studied with him, because the optics of that association would be very, very good, given that sheโ€™s a woman, given how Lennyโ€™s life ended. But I donโ€™t think she ever studied with Leonard Bernstein. If you look at the mathโ€”Lenny dies in what, 1990? When is she studying with Lenny Bernstein? I donโ€™t think it happened.โ€ + +Four out of four! โ€œThatโ€™s conjecture,โ€ Field clarified. He sipped his coffee, and we got to talking about the movieโ€™s ending, in which the disgraced Tรกr travels to an unnamed Southeast Asian country to conduct a live video-game score at a fan convention. Field brought up the real-life conductor Antonia Brico, whom Tรกr mentions as a predecessor in her interview with Gopnik. In a 1974 [documentary](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHE9lLjUpuM), he recalled, Brico talks about how, while a violinist always has her instrument, a conductor is nothing without an orchestra. It struck me that he was talking about himself, an artist who spent years in exile from his art. Whatโ€™s a director without a movie set? โ€œNot a director,โ€ Field said, and recalled his first day shooting โ€œTรกr.โ€ โ€œIt was like being in a room for a hundred years and no one had opened the windows. Suddenly, someone opened a window, and you felt fresh air and the smells of the world for the first time.โ€ He inhaled. โ€œI went, โ€˜Ah, thatโ€™s what it was like outside!โ€™ย โ€ย โ™ฆ + +  +  + +--- +`$= dv.el('center', 'Source: ' + dv.current().Link + ', ' + dv.current().Date.toLocaleString("fr-FR"))` \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/00.03 News/Tortilla de Harina A Moon of Mystery.md b/00.03 News/Tortilla de Harina A Moon of Mystery.md index ec335abf..57655ed3 100644 --- a/00.03 News/Tortilla de Harina A Moon of Mystery.md +++ b/00.03 News/Tortilla de Harina A Moon of Mystery.md @@ -1,8 +1,6 @@ --- -dg-publish: true -Alias: [""] -Tag: ["Society", "๐Ÿฝ๏ธ", "๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿคต๐Ÿป", "๐Ÿฝ๏ธ", "๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ"] Date: 2022-04-03 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/True Grit.md b/00.03 News/True Grit.md index e562831c..c15d2fee 100644 --- a/00.03 News/True Grit.md +++ b/00.03 News/True Grit.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- -Tag: ["Society", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ", "๐Ÿ„", "๐ŸŽ"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿคต๐Ÿป", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ", "๐Ÿ„", "๐ŸŽ"] Date: 2022-11-06 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/Trump Is No Longer Enjoying Himself โ€” And It Shows.md b/00.03 News/Trump Is No Longer Enjoying Himself โ€” And It Shows.md index c3b02dff..56f6df84 100644 --- a/00.03 News/Trump Is No Longer Enjoying Himself โ€” And It Shows.md +++ b/00.03 News/Trump Is No Longer Enjoying Himself โ€” And It Shows.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- -Tag: ["Politics", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ", "๐Ÿ˜"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ", "๐Ÿ˜"] Date: 2022-11-22 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/Trying to Live a Day Without Plastic.md b/00.03 News/Trying to Live a Day Without Plastic.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..9c1532a8 --- /dev/null +++ b/00.03 News/Trying to Live a Day Without Plastic.md @@ -0,0 +1,255 @@ +--- + +Tag: ["๐Ÿคต๐Ÿป", "๐ŸŒฑ"] +Date: 2023-01-15 +DocType: "WebClipping" +Hierarchy: +TimeStamp: 2023-01-15 +Link: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/11/style/plastic-free.html +location: +CollapseMetaTable: true + +--- + +Parent:: [[@News|News]] +Read:: [[2023-01-16]] + +--- + +  + +```button +name Save +type command +action Save current file +id Save +``` +^button-TryingtoLiveaDayWithoutPlasticNSave + +  + +# Trying to Live a Day Without Plastic + +![A man in a subway car is seen seated on a wooden chair.

Itโ€™s hard to go even a few minutes without touching this durable, lightweight, wildly versatile substance. Plastic has made possible thousands of modern conveniences, but it has come with downsides, especially for the environment. Last week, in a 24-hour experiment, I tried to live without it altogether in an effort to see what plastic stuff we canโ€™t do without and what we may be able to give up. + +Most mornings I check my iPhone soon after waking up. On the appointed day, this was not possible, given that, in addition to aluminum, iron, lithium, gold and copper, each [iPhone](https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/21/climate/apple-emissions-pledge.html) contains plastic. In preparation for the experiment, I had stashed my device in a closet. I quickly found that not having access to it left me feeling disoriented and bold, as if I were some sort of intrepid time traveler. + +I made my way toward the bathroom, only to stop myself before I went in. + +โ€œCould you open the door for me?โ€ I asked my wife, Julie. โ€œThe doorknob has a plastic coating.โ€ + +She opened it for me, letting out a โ€œthis is going to be a long dayโ€ sigh. + +My morning hygiene routine needed a total revamp, which required detailed preparations in the days before my experiment.

I cut my thumb trying to slice off the black brand label with an all-metal knife. Instead of a Band-Aid โ€” yes, plastic โ€” I used some gummed paper tape to stop the bleeding. + +Happily, my underwear did not represent a plastic violation โ€” blue boxers from Cottonique made of 100 percent organic cotton with a cotton drawstring in place of the elastic (which is often plastic) waistband.

Thereโ€™s some debate over when plastic entered the world, but many date it to 1855, when a British metallurgist, [Alexander Parkes](https://plasticshof.org/members/alexander-parkes/), patented a thermoplastic material as a waterproof coating for fabrics. He called the substance โ€œParkesine.โ€ Over the decades, labs across the world birthed other types, all with a similar chemistry: They are polymer chains, and most are made from petroleum or natural gas. Thanks to chemical additives, plastics vary wildly. They can be opaque or transparent, foamy or hard, stretchy or brittle. They are known by many names, including polyester and Styrofoam, and by shorthand like PVC and PET. + +Plastic manufacturing ramped up for World War II and was crucial to the war effort, providing nylon parachutes and Plexiglas aircraft windows. That was followed by a postwar boom, said Susan Freinkel, the author of โ€œPlastic: A Toxic Love Story,โ€ a book on the history and science of plastic. โ€œPlastic went into things like Formica counters, refrigerator liners, car parts, clothing, shoes, just all sorts of stuff that was designed to be used for a while,โ€ she said. + +Then things took a turn. + +โ€œWhere we really started to get into trouble is when it started going into single-use stuff,โ€ Ms. Freinkel said. โ€œI call it prefab litter.โ€ + +The outpouring of straws, cups, bags and other ephemera has led to disastrous consequences for the environment.

Everything looked menacing, like it might be harboring hidden polymers. The kitchen was particularly fraught. Anything I could use for cooking was off-limits โ€” the toaster, the oven, the microwave. Even leftovers were a no-go. My son waved a plastic baggie filled with French toast. โ€œYou want some of this?โ€ Yes, I did. + +Instead, I decided to go foraging for raw food items. + +I left my building using the stairs, rather than the elevator with its plastic buttons, and walked to a health food store near our apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. + +When I go shopping, I try to remember to take a cloth bag with me. This time, I had brought along seven bags of varying sizes, all of them cotton. I also had two glass containers. + +At the store, I filled up one of my cotton bags with apples and oranges. On close inspection, I noticed that the each rind had a sticker with a code. Another likely violation, but I ignored it. + +At the bulk bins, I scooped walnuts and oatmeal into my glass dishes using a (washed) steel ladle I had brought from home. The bins themselves were plastic, which I ignored, because I was hungry. + +Image + +Scooping walnuts into a glass container with a steel ladle brought from home.Credit...Jonah Rosenberg for The New York Times + +Image + +It is not easy to pay without using plastic. Even paper currency may have synthetic ingredients.Credit...Jonah Rosenberg for The New York Times + +Image + +Glass container? Bamboo fork? Cotton towel? Wooden chair? Check, check, check, check.Credit...Jonah Rosenberg for The New York Times + +I went to the cashier. At which point it was time to pay. Which was a problem. Credit cards were out. So was my iPhoneโ€™s Apple Pay. Paper money was another violation: Although U.S. paper currency is made mainly of cotton and linen, each bill likely contains synthetic fibers, and the higher denominations have a [security thread made of plastic](https://www.nytimes.com/2000/10/15/magazine/how-they-make-a-fake.htm) to prevent counterfeiting. + +To be safe, I had brought along a cotton sack full of coins. Yes, a big old sack heavy with quarters, dimes and pennies โ€” about $60 worth that I had withdrawn from Citibank and my kidsโ€™ piggy banks. + +At the checkout counter, I started stacking quarters as quickly as I could between nervous glances at the customers behind me. + +โ€œIโ€™m really sorry this is taking so long,โ€ I said. + +โ€œThatโ€™s OK,โ€ the cashier said. โ€œI meditate every morning so I can deal with turmoil like this.โ€ + +He added that he appreciated my commitment to the environment. It was the first positive feedback Iโ€™d received. I counted out $19.02 โ€” exact change! โ€” and went home to eat my breakfast: nuts and oranges on a metal cookie tray, which I balanced on my lap. + +A couple of hours later, in search of a plastic-free lunch, I walked to Lenwich, a sandwich and salad shop in my neighborhood. I arrived early in the afternoon, toting my rectangular glass dish and bamboo cutlery. + +โ€œCan you make the salad in this glass container?โ€ I asked, holding it up. + +โ€œOne minute please,โ€ the man behind the counter said, tersely. + +He called over a manager, who said OK. Victory! But the manager then rejected my follow-up request to use my steel scooper. + +After lunch, I headed to Central Park, figuring that this was a spot in Manhattan where I could relax in a plastic-free environment. I took the subway there, which scored me more violations, since the trains themselves have plastic parts and you need a MetroCard or smartphone to get through the turnstiles. + +At least I didnโ€™t sit in one of those plastic orange seats. I had brought my own: an unpainted, fold-up Nordic-style teak chair, hard and austere. Itโ€™s what I had been using at the apartment to avoid the plastic-tainted chairs and couches. + +Image + +Fellow riders took little notice of the man in the wooden chair.Credit...Jonah Rosenberg for The New York Times + +I plopped my chair down near a pole in the middle of the car. One guy had a please-donโ€™t-talk-to-me look in his eyes, but the other passengers were so buried in their phones that the sight of a man on a wooden chair didnโ€™t faze them. + +Walking through Central Park, I spotted dental floss picks, a black plastic knife and a plastic bag. + +Back home, I recorded some of my impressions. I wrote on paper with an unpainted cedar pencil from a โ€œZero Waste Pencil tin setโ€ (regular pencils contain plastic-filled yellow paint). After a while, I went to get a drink of water. Which brings up perhaps the most pervasive foe of all, one I havenโ€™t even mentioned yet: [microplastics](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/09/business/how-bad-are-microplastics.html). These tiny particles are everywhere โ€” in the water we drink, the air we breathe, [in the oceans](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/03/science/ocean-plastic-animals.html). They come from, among other things, degraded plastic litter. + +Are they harmful to us? I talked with several scientists, and the general answer I got was: We donโ€™t know yet. โ€œI think weโ€™ll have an improved understanding in the next few years,โ€ said Todd Gouin, an environmental research consultant. But those who are extra-cautious can use products that promise to filter microplastics from water and air. + +I had bought a pitcher by LifeStraw that contains a membrane microfilter. Of course, the pitcher itself had plastic parts, so I couldnโ€™t use it on the Big Day. Instead, the night before, I spent some time at the sink filtering water and filling up Mason jars. Our kitchen looked like it was ready for the apocalypse. + +The water tasted particularly pure, which Iโ€™m guessing was some sort of a placebo effect. + +I wrote for a while. Then I sat there in my wooden chair. Phone-less. Internet-less. Julie took some pity on me and offered to play a game of cards. I shook my head. + +โ€œPlastic coating,โ€ I said. + +At about 9 p.m., I took our dog for her nightly walk. I was using a 100 percent cotton leash I bought online. I had ditched the poop bags โ€” even the sustainable ones I found were made with recycled or plant-based plastic. Instead, I carried a metal spatula. Thankfully, I didnโ€™t have to use it. + +Image + +Using the stairs after shopping, to avoid the elevator, which has plastic parts.Credit...Jonah Rosenberg for The New York Times + +Image + +The first draft of this article was written with a plastic-free pencil by candlelight.Credit...Jonah Rosenberg for The New York Times + +Image + +Couldnโ€™t use the bed (plastic).Credit...Jonah Rosenberg for The New York Times + +At 10:30 p.m., exhausted, I lay down on my makeshift bed โ€” cotton sheets on the wood floor, since my mattress and pillows are plasticky. + +I woke up the next morning glad to have survived my ordeal and be reunited with my phone โ€” but also with a feeling of defeat. + +I had made 164 violations, by my count. As Dr. Salazar had predicted, I felt overwhelmed. And also uncertain. There was so much that remained unclear, even after I had been studying this topic for weeks. What plastic-free items really made a difference, and what is mere green-washing? Is it a good idea to use boarโ€™s-hair toothbrushes, tea tree deodorant, microplastic-filtering devices and paper straws, or does the trouble of using those things make everyone so bonkers that they actually end up damaging the cause? + +I called Dr. Salazar for a pep talk. + +โ€œYou can drive yourself crazy,โ€ she said. โ€œBut itโ€™s not about perfection, itโ€™s about progress. Believe it or not, individual behavior does matter. It adds up. + +โ€œRemember,โ€ she continued, โ€œitโ€™s not about plastic being the enemy. Itโ€™s about single-use as the enemy. Itโ€™s the culture of using something once and throwing it away.โ€ + +I thought back to something that the author Susan Freinkel had told me: โ€œIโ€™m not an absolutist at all. If you came into my kitchen, you would be like, what the hell? You wrote this book and look at how you live!โ€ + +Ms. Freinkel does make an effort, she said. She avoids single-use bags, cups and packaging, among other things. I pledge to try, too, even after my not wholly successful attempt at a one-day ban. + +Iโ€™ll start with small things, building up habits. I liked the shampoo bar. And I can take produce bags to the grocery. I might even pack my steel water bottle and bamboo cutlery for my trips to Lenwich. And from there, who knows? + +And Iโ€™ll proudly wear the โ€œKeep the Sea Plastic Freeโ€ T-shirt that I bought online in the days leading up to the experiment.

Within a decade, he claimed to have done nearly $1 billion in investments, and boasted celebrity clients including [Laura Ingraham](https://www.thedailybeast.com/laura-ingraham-dumps-guest-for-throwing-foxs-scandals-in-her-face) and [Lars Larson](https://www.thedailybeast.com/fox-news-guest-lars-larson-breaks-network-rule-against-naming-alleged-whistleblower). + +His company, Regal Assets, earned top ratings on review sites, and Gallagher himself was a cited expert, publishing articles online for *[Forbes](https://www.thedailybeast.com/forbes-enters-exclusive-talks-with-a-buyer-after-failed-public-offering)* and *[Rolling Stone](https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/rolling-stone-best-singers-list-that-snubbed-celine-dion-is-nonsense)*. *Inc.* magazine rated his company one of the fastest growing in the countryโ€”an honor previously bestowed on the likes of Microsoft and Jamba Juice. According to its website, the company had offices in Los Angeles, London, and Dubai, and was the first company licensed to sell cryptocurrency in the Middle East. + +โ€œToday is a milestone on my journey as the CEO of Regal Assets and I could not be more proud of our unbelievable team,โ€ Gallagher said in a press release about the *Inc.* 500 announcement. โ€œTo come from Canada and create the success I have with Regal Assets in the heart of the financial collapse truly shows that the American dream is still alive.โ€ + +And then one day last October, Tyler Gallagherโ€”and his goldโ€”disappeared. + +## โ€˜I thought that it was realโ€™ + +Nancy Oโ€™Hara first invested with Regal Assets in 2021. The frank, fast-talking 70-year-old had run her own business for more than 20 years, but had lost her motivation to work since her daughterโ€™s death from cancer a few years earlier. She was mulling retirement options when she found Regal Assets and its โ€œGold IRA,โ€ which let customers convert their retirement accounts into metals like gold and silver. The company advertised the program as a hedge against stock market downturns and inflation, and Oโ€™Hara, concerned by talk of a coming recession, figured it was a safe bet. + +Like any good businesswoman, Oโ€™Hara did her research. She read articles that recommended Regal Assets for first-time buyers, she said, and was encouraged by the positive reviews on the company website. But she was most impressed by Gallagher, who featured his membership on the *Forbes* Finance Council and *Rolling Stone* Culture Council on his LinkedIn, and whose articles popped up immediately when she Googled the company. + +โ€œHe showed up as a contributor to *Forbes*,โ€ she said. โ€œSo I thought, โ€˜Well, theyโ€™re making sure this guy is legit.โ€™โ€ + +So in November 2021, Oโ€™Hara transferred $499,350โ€”about a third of her retirement savingsโ€”to Regal Assets. An emailed receipt Oโ€™Hara shared with The Daily Beast confirmed the company would ship five 1-kilo gold bars, 53 100-ounce silver bars, and 24 Palladium American Eagle coins in her name to a Delaware depository, under the custody of Community National Bank. (CNB did not respond to multiple requests for comment.) Oโ€™Hara said the Regal salesman, Christian Howard, told her she could expect the bars and coins to arrive at the depository in six to eight weeks. + +But eight weeks came and went without any sign of the metals. In March, Oโ€™Hara called Howard, who apologized profusely and passed her along to the companyโ€™s president, Leah Donoso. Donoso seemed a little scattered, she said, but promised to help, even offering Oโ€™Hara her personal cellphone number. + +For weeks, Oโ€™Hara said, Donoso offered up a range of excuses for the tardiness: The depository was backordered, the bank was implementing a new system, the metals were on their way. Eventually, Oโ€™Hara received confirmation that about half of the metals had arrived. โ€œI just thought it was taking a little while,โ€ she said. โ€œI thought that it was real.โ€ + +But in June, five months after making her purchase, Oโ€™Hara received a letter from CNB alerting her that the rest of her metals had still not arrived. By this point, Oโ€™Hara said, Donosoโ€™s excuses were starting to wear thin, and other Regal Assets customers were complaining to the Better Business Bureau that they hadnโ€™t received their purchases, either. Oโ€™Hara opened her own case with the bureau, she said, but the most they could tell her was that they were โ€œworking on it.โ€ + +Finally, in August, Oโ€™Hara received a call from Gallagher himself. His tone was jocular, she said, like they were two friends sharing an inside joke. He told her he had fired Donoso, that she had been lying to clients and mixing up their moneyโ€”excuses she said she struggled to believe. + +โ€œWhat story did she tell you?โ€ he asked, according to Oโ€™Hara. โ€œDid you hear about the one where her mother died?โ€ Gallagher promised her the metals were there, just in another customerโ€™s account, and that it would take a little while to get sorted out. + +โ€œI think I was supposed to be impressed that he was calling me,โ€ she said. โ€œHe said, โ€˜Christian wanted me to call you, to let you know weโ€™re working on it.โ€™โ€ + +That was the last thing Oโ€™Hara heard from Gallagher. + +What Oโ€™Hara didnโ€™t know was that dozens of other Regal Assets customers were experiencing the same thing. The Daily Beast spoke to seven customers who say they invested with Regal Assets between 2020 and 2022 and received only some of their investment, or none at all, and who provided documentation. All told a similar story of their interaction with Regal Assets: an enthusiastic sales pitch, a six-figure investment, months of delays and excuses, and finally, over the summer, radio silence. None of them have been able to get in touch with Gallagher since October. + +The customers are overwhelmingly people in their sixties or seventies who invested money from their retirement accounts through the companyโ€™s โ€œGold IRAโ€ program. One couple from North Carolina, a retired auto mechanic and janitor in their seventies, said they lost more than $300,000โ€”their entire life savings. Another couple, a public school teacher and a military veteran who works for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, said they pinched pennies for decades to afford a comfortable retirement, then lost half of it with Regal Assets. + +The teacher, who asked not to be named, is up for retirement next year but said she wonโ€™t be able to afford it now. + +โ€œI never took a vacation, I never got a new car, I donโ€™t wear fancy clothes,โ€ she said. โ€œWe saved and saved, and now itโ€™s gone.โ€ + +Rick Brest, a 65-year-old from Ohio, invested with Regal in February 2022, hoping it would protect his savings from inflation. He had lost his wifeโ€”the primary earner for the familyโ€”to pancreatic cancer in 2017. Without her, he said, โ€œI was trying to take what I did have and make the best of it.โ€ + +According to emails with Regal Assets he provided to The Daily Beast, Brest purchased $103,750 in gold bars on Feb. 16. Less than half were ever deposited into his account. + +โ€œI think itโ€™s elder abuse,โ€ he said. โ€œThese guys targeted people who were trying to look out for their future, and looking for a way to guarantee that.โ€ + +โ€œItโ€™s well beyond an investment scam,โ€ Brest added. โ€œItโ€™s just flat-out theft.โ€ + +At least three lawsuits have been filed against the company in the last year by customers alleging they never received their purchases. One couple, John and Joanne Gburek, claim they lost more than $624,000 in undelivered coins and gold bars in 2020. A Michigan federal court recently entered a default judgment in their favor for that amount. + +Another customer, Stephen Newland, claimed he bought $15,000 worth of coins from the company in August 2018. At the time, he alleges, he received confirmation from the depository that his metals were delivered. But this summer, when he asked to withdraw the coins and have them delivered to him personally, Regal Assets allegedly failed to produce them and then stopped answering his calls. When Newland finally got in touch with the depository in October, they told him they had sent the coins to Regal Assets months earlier. + +Matt McAllister, a Waco, Texas, police sergeant, has spoken to more than 20 Regal Assets customers and taken formal reports from 10 of them. He estimated those 10 customers lost a combined total of $4.6 million, the largest of which was a $1.6 million investment. + +โ€œThe Bernie Madoff thing is the first thing that comes to mind,โ€ he said. โ€œSeems pretty much like a case of that, with gold.โ€ + +## โ€˜I have no idea where he is. Heโ€™s disappearedโ€™ + +Regal Assets customers werenโ€™t the only people looking for Gallagher. In early 2021, the businessman started an โ€œesports teamโ€โ€”a group of young adults paid to compete in video game tournaments. Gallagherโ€™s team, Team33, specialized in Fortnite and quickly made waves in the crowded space for one reason: its size. + +![](https://img.thedailybeast.com/image/upload/c_crop,d_placeholder_euli9k,h_384,w_512,x_0,y_0/dpr_1.5/c_limit,w_690/fl_lossy,q_auto/230204-shugerman-gallagher-embed-2_q5wbg1) + +Gallagher and some friends gaming online. + +#### Courtesy of Chernack + +While most esports teams have three to four players, Team33 had more than 30, and dominated championship leaderboards due to their sheer number. Many of the players were well knownโ€”and expensive: big names like Fatch, Snacky, PaMstou, and Weston, who could easily command thousands of dollars a week. In February of that year, the team bragged that it had signed an 8-year-old Fortnite prodigy named Joseph Deen, sealing the deal with a $33,000 bonus. + +Dominic Lamantia, a professional video editor from North Carolina, started editing highlight reels for the team in early 2022. Because there were so many players to produce for, he said, he could easily rack up $400 to $500 in a monthโ€”the steadiest work heโ€™d found in the industry. He and the players werenโ€™t entirely sure where all the money came from, he said, but Gallagher always paid on time and was generous with bonuses. One player, who goes by the screen name Middi, said in a [YouTube interview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2395&v=TE6PCqmaEI4&embeds_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fesports.gg%2F&feature=emb_logo) that Gallagher would โ€œalways surprise people with moneyโ€”it was his favorite thing to do.โ€ + +Then, in September, Gallagher went silent. At first, players and managers said he was on a business trip in Dubai, Lamantia said, but after a few weeks with no word from him, they started to get nervous. With no one to commission videos, the team stopped posting on YouTube. After a few weeks, its Twitter account settings were changed so that no one could reply to its tweets. Lamantia, who usually spoke with Gallagher daily, couldnโ€™t even get him to answer a text. + +After a few months of this, Team33 players started declaring themselves โ€œfree agentsโ€ and signing with other teams, and Lamantia started taking on other, more traditional editing jobs. He says Gallagher still owes him for 10 to 15 videos he produced before his disappearance, but he hasnโ€™t been able to track him down. + +The last text he sent Gallagher, at the beginning of January, showed up green on Lamantiaโ€™s iPhoneโ€”a sign that it had not been delivered. + +โ€œItโ€™s a very weird ending,โ€ Lamantia said. โ€œHe loved the team, loved doing everything, and one day just disappears.โ€ + +He added: โ€œIt was all good, and then he just randomly drops.โ€ + +In February 2021, around the time he started the esports team, Gallagher got marriedโ€”to a 22-year-old he met on a night out in Los Angeles the year before. The woman, who asked not to be named, told The Daily Beast that Gallagher seemed โ€œauthentic,โ€ and โ€œdeeply spiritualโ€ at the time. โ€œI thought he was a genuine guy,โ€ she said. โ€œHe was very deep with the universe and spiritual \[and\] charming.โ€ + +But once they married, she said, everything changed. He started drinking more and throwing what she called โ€œtantrums,โ€ especially when she brought up his alcohol use. One night last June, she says, he flew into a rage, kicked her out of the house, and changed the locks. When she returned later with a police deputy to collect her belongings, she says, they were all gone. + +โ€œHe stole all my clothes, all my personal belongings that were in the house,โ€ she said. โ€œAll my childhood stuff, my files, everything goneโ€ฆ I literally had to start over from nothing.โ€ + +The woman says she hasnโ€™t spoken to Gallagher since. She filed a report about the missing clothes with the Los Angeles Police Department and filed for divorce shortly thereafter. (The LAPD declined to release the report but did confirm that one existed.) But when she tried to serve him with divorce papers, she says, he was nowhere to be found. She tried calling and texting with no response; none of his friends or neighbors had heard from him, either. + +Without anyone to serve, and without enough money to pay for an annulment, the woman says sheโ€™s stuck in a legal limbo. + +โ€œI have no idea where he is. Heโ€™s disappeared,โ€ she said. โ€œItโ€™s been very difficult, and the whole legal process is very difficult as well.โ€ + +Her voice sounded choked, like she was about to cry. + +โ€œI just want to move on, you know,โ€ she added. + +## โ€˜I turn peopleโ€™s money into goldโ€™ + +This was not the first time Tyler Gallagher had disappeared. + +At age 16, according to an interview he gave on the โ€œDamn Good Dayโ€ podcast, Gallagher fled his home in Calgary, Canada, for Toronto, where he lived out of a homeless shelter for several weeks. + +To avoid spending time in the shelter, he said, he camped out at the local Barnes and Noble, gobbling up books by self-help guru Robert Kiyosaki, author of the โ€œRich Dadโ€ series. (Kiyosakiโ€™s company went bankrupt in 2012 following a long-running lawsuit accusing it of failing to pay royalties to a seminar promoter.) + +Gallagher said he eventually moved out of the homeless shelter and worked an array of odd jobsโ€”a stint at a multilevel marketing company called World Financial Group, a brief foray into actingโ€”until 2005, when he met the man who changed his life. + +Gallagher was living in Los Angeles at the time, working at a tanning salon and looking for acting jobs after the end of the Lifetime limited series *Beach Girls*. The man arrived at the salon driving a Bentley, wearing a smart suit, and carrying a large cardboard box. They started talking about business, andโ€”in Gallagherโ€™s tellingโ€”he so impressed the man with his knowledge of global financial systems that the man offered him a peek inside the box. Inside was nearly $500,000 in Canadian gold maple leaf coins. + +โ€œThatโ€™s what I do,โ€ he says the man told him. โ€œI turn peopleโ€™s money into gold.โ€™โ€ + +Gallagher said he knew heโ€™d found his life calling. He took the manโ€™s business card and sent him an email asking for advice, to which the man responded with an offer of employment. He started as an assistant making $300 a week, but claims he was quickly promoted to broker and made $10,000 in his first month. Eventually he saved up enough money to buy a car, rent an office, and form a corporation. โ€œIt was me in a room with a computer, trying to make the phone ring,โ€ he told the โ€œDamn Good Dayโ€ host. Regal Assets was born. + +Or at least, thatโ€™s how Gallagher tells it. + +Ron Fricke, an actor-director turned venture capitalist, told The Daily Beast that Regal Assets was *his* idea. Fricke says Gallagher rented a room from him in Los Angeles while he was working for the man with the Canadian gold coins. Fricke took one look at the checks Gallagher was bringing home and suggested they launch their own metals company instead. + +Fricke says he built the companyโ€™s website and went with Gallagher to a precious metals convention in Long Beach; the two later hired one of their other roommates to do graphic design. The first registration document for Regal Assets lists Fricke as the registered agent. + +โ€œHeโ€™s right about him and I just sitting there on the computerโ€”thatโ€™s all we did,โ€ Fricke said. โ€œBut it definitely wasnโ€™t a one-man shop.โ€ + +After a few years, Fricke said, he got tired of the metals business and offered to let Gallagher buy him outโ€”money that he says Gallagher still hasnโ€™t paid in full. Gallagher would call him occasionally for help or advice, he said; Fricke even came back to Regal Assets for a few years as a consultant in 2012. Once, he said, Gallagher called to ask for recommendations on brokers who could get $1 million in equity out of his house. + +But Fricke said he wasnโ€™t surprised that his one-time friend had written him out of their story. + +โ€œTyler cared so much about his reputation and what he looked like, and he wanted to be rich more than anything,โ€ Fricke said. โ€œSometimes when you give people a little bit of power or money, they turn into a whole different person.โ€ + +![](https://img.thedailybeast.com/image/upload/c_crop,d_placeholder_euli9k,h_756,w_1008,x_0,y_0/dpr_1.5/c_limit,w_690/fl_lossy,q_auto/230204-shugerman-gallagher-embed_z2kqhh) + +Gallagher and his second wife buying rings at Cartier. + +#### Courtesy of Chernack + +In 2009, the same year Gallagher says he founded Regal Assets, he married his first wife, an actress named Ashley Brinkman. Brinkman did not respond to requests for comment, but in 2014, court records show, Gallagher was charged with simple battery and battery of a spouse. He was convicted of the simple battery charge and sentenced to two days in Los Angeles County jail and three years supervised probation. The couple divorced the next year. + +By the time he met his second wife, in 2021, Gallagherโ€™s life had seemingly changed. According to his โ€œDamn Good Dayโ€ interview, Regal Assets had done more than $500 million in investments and ranked 20th for financial services on *Inc.* magazineโ€™s list of 500 fastest-growing firms in the United States. Heโ€™d purchased the home in Beverly Hillsโ€”a three-bed, four-bath mansion with a swimming pool, movie theater, and four-story glass elevatorโ€”and was apparently using it to host some impressive parties. + +In the podcast episode, the interviewer recalled the last time theyโ€™d hung out together as โ€œone of the best experiences of my life,โ€ telling Gallagher: โ€œYou had some of the biggest studio producers, rappers, management, top marketers, all hanging out at your house.โ€ + +Kyle Chernack, a professional chauffeur whom Gallagher hired in 2016, said the entrepreneur owned two luxury vehicles he rarely drove himself. The first, a green Aston Martin Vantage Coupe, he called โ€œthe James Bond.โ€ The second was a Ford Excursion that Gallagher had decked out like a limousine, with a bulkhead and captainsโ€™ chairs in the back. He called that one โ€œthe Tom Cruise.โ€ + +Chernack said Gallagher wasnโ€™t the kind of rich person to go flashing his money in the club, but he treated his friends and family well. Once, when Chernack was driving his boss from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City, they stopped in Las Vegas for the night. Chernack says Gallagher rented him his own suite. โ€œNot a room,โ€ he clarified. โ€œA suite.โ€ + +![](https://img.thedailybeast.com/image/upload/c_crop,d_placeholder_euli9k,h_960,w_1280,x_0,y_0/dpr_1.5/c_limit,w_690/fl_lossy,q_auto/230204-shugerman-gallagher-embed-1_hxilf9) + +The suite that Kyle Chernack, Gallagherโ€™s chauffeur, says Gallagher treated him to in Las Vegas. + +#### Courtesy of Chernack + +But it was when his second wife came along that Gallagher really started throwing down, Chernack said. Less than a month after the couple met, he recalled, Gallagher sent him to the mall to buy his new girlfriend a Rolex. The next week, they were in Cartier buying matching rings. Chernack had never seen his boss like this before, and it made him nervous. Gallagher was drinking more, Chernack said, and behaving strangely. In 2020, after four years of driving for him, Chernack resigned. + +Two years later, Chernack spotted a YouTube video about a vanished esports team owner and realized his former boss was gone. + +## โ€˜There were just a lot of false promisesโ€™ + +For those paying attention, there were warning signs. Starting in 2013, competitors began suing Regal Assets for false advertising, alleging the company had createdโ€”or paid others to createโ€”misleading websites to promote its product. + +The websites, which Regal referred to as โ€œaffiliates,โ€ purported to be independent review sites, but inevitably redirected readers to Regal Assets. One of the sites, IMFsite.org, advertised itself as a โ€œindependently owned, professional organization,โ€ but was actually owned by Regal co-owner Kelly Felix, according to a complaint filed by competitor American Bullion. (Regal Assets denied this.) The siteโ€™s review section disparaged American Bullionโ€™s โ€œelaborate fee structureโ€ and โ€œmanyโ€ negative customer reviews, and redirected readers to its review of Regal Assetsโ€”โ€œour #1 recommended gold dealer onlineโ€โ€”according to the complaint. + +Another site, โ€œReeves Jamesonโ€™s The Gold IRA Reviewer,โ€ allegedly featured a photo of a โ€œdistinguished looking gentlemanโ€ who offered his reviews of several gold investment companies, ultimately listing Regal as his top pick. But according to a complaint filed by competitor Lear Capital, โ€œReeves Jamesonโ€ was actually a Regal affiliate named Andrew Egoroff, and his photo was a stock photo called โ€œMature Businessman Wearing Striped Blue Shirt With His Arms Folded.โ€ + +โ€œUpon information and belief,โ€ the complaint states, โ€œthere simply is no Reeves Jameson.โ€ + +Regal acknowledged that the website owners were compensated by the company, but claimed they were independent contractors, not employees. Most of the cases appear to have been settled or voluntarily dismissed; โ€œReeves Jamesonโ€ appears to have taken down his site. + +In 2017, Regal Assets expanded its offerings to include crypto. Gallagher hired three crypto-specific salespeople andโ€”according to a lawsuit the employees later filedโ€”promised them between $20,000 to $100,000 a month, plus an in-office chef and free access to a premium suite at the Staples Center for Laker games. (The company claimed there was no such contract.) + +Within a month, two of the salespeople were gone, claiming Gallagher failed to pay them at all. The third, Kevin Snyder, stayed at the company for the better part of a year, though he eventually left and joined the lawsuit filed by his coworkers. (Regal Assets settled with the three of them in 2021.) + +Reached by phone earlier this month, Snyder told The Daily Beast he was swept up in the hype around crypto and the mystique around his new boss. + +โ€œHe definitely owned assets, a nice car; we were in a nice building complex in Studio City,โ€ Snyder recalled, adding that Gallagher took him to fancy dinners and bought him tickets for a pricey New Yearโ€™s show. + +โ€œThe glamour was there,โ€ he said. + +Snyder says Gallagher did pay himโ€”though it was more like $4,000 a month rather than the $20,000 he allegedly promised. The personal chef and Lakers seats also failed to materialize, according to the suit, and Snyder said Gallagher would often get drunk at the office. He was starting to get antsy when someone from HR called and told him he was being fired. + +โ€œI donโ€™t want to sit here and say I got completely scammed, I did get paid,โ€ said Snyder. โ€œBut there were just a lot of false promises, a lot of shady behavior.โ€ + +โ€œYou could just tell a lot of things he said, they werenโ€™t coming to fruition,โ€ he added. โ€œIt wasnโ€™t real. Whatever he was selling wasnโ€™t real.โ€ + +Just before hanging up, Snyder stopped himself. He had one more thing heโ€™d forgotten to mention. Toward the middle of his time at Regal Assets, he said, Gallagher started seeing a new girlfriend and taking her on lavish vacations. He also stopped coming to the office. He was available via phone and email, Snyder said, but never came back to their Studio City office space. + +After a few months of this, Snyder and his coworkers grabbed their computers and started working from home. Gallagher swung by the office once and was confused to see no one there, Snyder said, but when his employees told him they were working remotely, he didnโ€™t seem to care. + +โ€œI was employed there another eight to nine months,โ€ Snyder recalled. โ€œI never saw Tyler again. Ever.โ€ + +## โ€˜I feel embarrassed to even be associated with thisโ€™ + +Without any response from Gallagher, customers of Regal Assets have started looking for answers themselves. They filed dozens of complaints with the Better Business Bureau in the last year, though most of them were closed when the nonprofit couldnโ€™t get a response from Regal. Others posted reviews on TrustPilot claiming the company โ€œsteals your money,โ€ and some have even commented on Gallagherโ€™s Facebook page. (One woman commented on a post announcing Gallagherโ€™s marriage by saying he and his company were โ€œnot trustworthy at the best; crooks at the worst.โ€) + +The teacher who lost half of her retirement savings recently started a Facebook group for frustrated customers called โ€œVictims of Regal Assets.โ€ She said she started it as a kind of โ€œsupport group,โ€ but it has grown into something of a vigilante army. Membersโ€”of whom there are now more than 40โ€”were the first to speak to Chernack, the chauffeur, and to a bed and breakfast owner in Mexico who says Gallagher skipped out on his bill. (The owner sent a photo of Gallagherโ€™s passport to the teacher as evidence.) Members were also the first to notice that Gallagherโ€™s Beverly Hills home went up for sale at the end of November. The listing agent, Josh Altman of Bravoโ€™s *Million Dollar Listing*, declined to comment. + +Group members have also reached out to every consumer protection and law enforcement agency they can think of, including the FBI, Federal Trade Commission, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Securities and Exchange Commission, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and attorneys general from Pennsylvania, Michigan, Washington, California, and North Carolina. None were much help until the customers connected with McAllister, the Waco police detective, who offered to take their reports and forward them to the relevant federal agencies. (McAllister declined to name the agencies, but multiple customers told The Daily Beast they had been interviewed by the CFTC. The agency declined to comment.) + +Several customers said they wanted to hire attorneys to sue the company, but without the savings theyโ€™d invested with Regal, they couldnโ€™t afford to pay one. + +โ€œThereโ€™s nothing we can do,โ€ said Claude Mereau, the auto mechanic who said he lost his entire life savings. โ€œWe canโ€™t afford suing unless someone is willing to do it on contingency, but so far no one has wanted that.โ€ + +Some customers have tried reaching out to other contacts at the company, like Donoso and Howard. One customer, Jay Moreau, emailed and texted with Donoso about his deceased parentsโ€™ accounts so much that he โ€œkind of befriended her,โ€ he said. (He admitted he may have accelerated the process by sending her photos from her Facebook and other personal information he acquired.) The two now text regularly; he says sheโ€™s expressed remorse and a desire to help. He still doesnโ€™t know if sheโ€™s telling the truth. + +Nancy Oโ€™Hara recently sent an email to Howard, hoping to make an emotional appeal to the salesman. She said she trusted Howard because she heard a baby crying in the background on their first phone call, and that it reminded her of her son, who is also a young father. In her email, she told Howard about how she was in a โ€œvulnerable placeโ€ after the death of her daughter and about how she regretted โ€œact\[ing\] with my heart instead of my head.โ€ + +โ€œChristian, I hope you decide to facilitate the repayment of all the clients you were involved with and then make sure no one else goes through this nightmare,โ€ she wrote. โ€œThen get as far away from this company as you can. Do it for your sake and your familyโ€™s sake.โ€ + +Howard never responded. In an interview with The Daily Beast, he said he had resigned on Sept. 9โ€”more than two weeks before Oโ€™Hara sent her emailโ€”because of a lack of communication from Gallagher and rumors that other employees were not getting paid. โ€œMy heart goes out to them,โ€ he said of the customers. โ€œI feel embarrassed to even be associated with this.โ€ + +A retired medical salesperson named Holly Miller may have gotten the furthest. From August to October, Miller says she talked or texted with Gallagher almost every day. She first connected with him over the summer, after months of badgering Donoso and Howard for her metals and getting nowhere. Eventually, Gallagher got on the phone and promised to wire her more than $800,000 of her $1,219,000 investmentโ€”which he did, within two weeks. + +In order to ensure she got the rest of the money, Miller said, she set up weekly phone calls with Gallagher to discuss his progress. Despite herself, she said, she grew close with the โ€œkid,โ€ bonding over their shared faith and love of Hallmark movies. She started texting him uplifting daily messages and photos from her vacation. He sent her snippets from the journal he kept while living in the homeless shelter; pages of prayers and messages to God. To prove his love for the holidays, he sent her a photo of the Christmas tree he kept up year-round. + +Miller said thatโ€”at the timeโ€”she believed what Gallagher was telling her: that Donoso had scammed him and defrauded the company; that he was working on getting her money back. She sent him messages of support; he sent back his apologies and appreciation. โ€œJust wanted to make sure you knew I was here,โ€ he texted her once. โ€œNot many people care you do I appreciate.โ€ + +Then, on Oct. 23, the day before their scheduled weekly call, he texted her at 11 p.m. + +โ€œAre you free?โ€ he wrote. โ€œHad a meeting that went overtime.โ€ + +He followed up: โ€œNever mind it is late just let me know when free.โ€ + +Miller responded in the morning, asking when he was free and sending him a photo overlaid with an inspirational message. + +She never heard from him again. + +Miller knows she is one of the lucky ones, since she recouped the majority of her investment. Still, she canโ€™t seem to stop chasing the remaining nearly $400,000. Sheโ€™s reported the issue to a raft of agencies, and her notes on the subject fill three file folders. She said she spent so much time on the case over the summer that it left her bedridden with migraines. + +These days she is working on letting go, she said, on โ€œโ€˜giv\[ing\] it up to Godโ€ and accepting that Gallagher is gone. Still, she keeps texting him everyday, just in case. Her last message included another hopeful saying, this one typed over a bright watercolor background. + +โ€œYour life is a canvas,โ€ it said. โ€œMake sure you paint yourself a whole lot of colorful days.โ€ + +  +  + +--- +`$= dv.el('center', 'Source: ' + dv.current().Link + ', ' + dv.current().Date.toLocaleString("fr-FR"))` \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/00.03 News/U.K. braced for death of Queen Elizabeth II.

A worker covering the phones spotted the insect and jumped up from their desk chair. A second cockroach appeared, and another phone operator ripped off their headset and ran towards the nearest conference room. One by one, workers stood up and peered over their cubicle dividers to see what had caused the commotion. Unbeknownst to them, a black metal box had been hidden under a row of desks, brimming with dozens of live roaches.ย  + +By the time someone appeared with a mop in hand, several more cockroaches were already skittering around the office floor. A worker crushed one under the heel of their sneaker; another made a run for the elevator banks. But before the room could recover from the disruption, there was another surprise. Smoke began to rise from one of the cubicles.ย  + +A crowd gathered to investigate, and located the source: a small mechanical contraption. Next to it was another box, filled with squirming mice. + +Meanwhile, 1 mile away, behind the closed window shades of a hotel room in Kolkataโ€™s residential Bidhannagar district, YouTubers Artsiom โ€œArtโ€ Kulik and Ashton Bingham watched the chaos unfold over a hacked feed of the call centerโ€™s security cameras. + +โ€œHere we go, motherfuckers โ€” take this!โ€ Kulik yelled at the hotel room TV. + +From the hotel, the YouTubers coordinated the next phase of their assault. They dispatched a messenger to the office to deliver a concealed glitter bomb. With suspicions already high, workers took the large, unopened package to a garage, slowly opening it while trying to keep their distance. Hidden cameras inside captured their reactions as a siren went off and a pound of glitter went flying into the air. In a final joke, the boxโ€™s return address said the sender was the FBI.ย  + +Kulik and Bingham, together known as Trilogy Media, are part of the online โ€œscambaitingโ€ community โ€” an increasingly popular internet subculture that involves hacking, pranking, and generally taking revenge on people they believe are conducting scam phone calls. Launched in 2016, Trilogy Media runs accounts on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Patreon, and operates a subscription streaming service called Trilogy Plus. On YouTube, its most popular platform, over 800,000 subscribers regularly tune in to the teamโ€™s antics.ย ย  + +Many of the YouTube creators who make scambaiting videos are from North America and Europe, and their most frequent targets are in India. Oftentimes, scambaiters simply annoy scammers: They might pretend they are falling for a scam call, for instance, only to waste the callerโ€™s time with inane questions or inside jokes. In these videos, the scammers usually remain nameless and faceless, just a voice on the other end of the line.ย  + +But Trilogy has taken things up a notch. In April 2022, their team traveled from Los Angeles to Kolkata in order to prank workers at Ansh Info Solutions and two other call centers, which they claim conduct scam call operations that allegedly defraud victims in the U.S. and elsewhere. Naturally, they filmed the whole thing, hoping to pull it together into their newest viral video. + +Kulik and Bingham say their goal is to educate viewers about scams โ€” a public service disguised as comedic entertainment. They talk about how theyโ€™re motivated by a sense of justice for victims of scams, and suggest that theyโ€™re stepping in where law enforcement has failed. + +But there are other advantages to being a scambaiting creator. In the month after the Kolkata videos were released, Trilogy Mediaโ€™s YouTube channel added more than [140,000 subscribers](https://socialblade.com/youtube/c/trilogymedia/monthly), according to YouTube analytics site Social Blade. The videos from their trip, posted across their channel and those of several collaborators, collectively have over 60 million views. + +![](https://149346090.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Youtube-40x20.jpg) + +[https://www.youtube.com/@TrilogyMedia](https://www.youtube.com/@TrilogyMedia) + +Kulik and Bingham work full-time as creators, and they donโ€™t shy away from the celebrity their increasingly outlandish stunts have brought them. โ€œWe want to just keep growing that brand awareness,โ€ Bingham told *Rest of World*. โ€œWe want the channel to keep growing and keep doing huge collabs with A-list YouTubers.โ€ + +โ€œWe want scam awareness to be much bigger than it is,โ€ he continued. โ€œBut weโ€™d also love to have more opportunities on mainstream networks.โ€ + +Trilogyโ€™s pursuit of vigilante justice has proved a hit with their many fans, whom they refer to as โ€œthe squad.โ€ But for some, their antics lay bare an uncomfortable power dynamic in which YouTubers in Los Angeles gain viral fame at the expense of Indian call center workers, physically harassing people whose situation they may know little about.ย  + +Sourav Ghosh, a call center operator who used to work at a company targeted by Trilogy, told *Rest of World* that his department had sold website-building services and was never involved in scams. He says Trilogyโ€™s videos humiliate workers, and warned of the potential lasting impact on individuals caught on camera.ย  + +โ€œTheyโ€™re doing all these things for the sake of likes and the sake of the publicity they are getting for a minimum time, but it might affect someoneโ€™s dignity,โ€ he said. Beyond damaging the reputation of former colleagues, Ghosh is concerned that Trilogyโ€™s videos may reinforce negative stereotypes about Indian people. โ€œIndia is not a scam country,โ€ he said. + +![](https://149346090.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/09.02.22_Rest-Of-World__Trilogy-Media_0508-40x27.jpg) + +Alex Welsh for Rest of World + +--- + +**Before launching Trilogy** Media in 2016, Bingham and Kulik were both aspiring actors living in LA and struggling to get a foothold in Hollywood. Bingham, a former professional child magician from Reno, Nevada, had gone through several day jobs, including renting boats on the docks of Marina del Rey, in between auditions for TV roles. Now in his early 30s, with a broad smile and a knack for over-the-top facial expressions, he landed minor stints on the U.S. sitcom *Parks* *and Recreation* and the 2008 revival of the teen soap *90210*, but could never quit his day jobs. + +Kulik was working at a rental car agency. Raised in Belarus, heโ€™d spent years as a trainee in the basketball academy for the countryโ€™s Olympic team, followed by a stint as a sports telecaster in Moscow, before moving to the U.S. At six-foot-four, Kulik, who usually wears his shoulder-length hair slicked back into a bun, towers over Bingham.ย  + +Introduced by mutual friends, the two became roommates in 2016, and launched the Trilogy Media production company out of their apartment that August. They saw YouTube as a potential side door into the entertainment industry, and toyed with releasing short films and comedy sketches. + +Around this time, Bingham started receiving a barrage of scam calls purporting to be from the Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. tax authority. It wasnโ€™t hard to spot the scam: The caller asked Bingham to buy gift cards from Target and other chain stores in order to pay off a supposed tax debt.ย  + +> โ€œIโ€™ll make like, a two- or three-minute video for Facebook and post it for our friends, and itโ€™ll be funny.โ€ + +Easy to brush off at first, the stream of inbound calls became unbearable, and Bingham had an idea: turning the tables on the scammers, by deceiving them himself. **โ€œ**Let me just run with it. Iโ€™ll make like, a two- or three-minute video for Facebook and post it for our friends, and itโ€™ll be funny,โ€ he recalled to *Rest of World*, during a visit to Trilogy Mediaโ€™s Los Angeles production offices in September 2022*.* + +The next time Bingham received a scam call, he picked up and engaged, all the while recording himself on camera. In the video, Bingham spends 30 minutes wasting the callerโ€™s time with fake names and disingenuous follow-up questions, before his tone of voice changes. No longer playing dumb to the con, he launches into an expletive-laden tirade. โ€œYou are an inbred, motherfucking piece of shit, stop fucking scamming people, you stupid, dumb son of a bitch,โ€ he rages.ย  + +This moment, where the prank on the scammer pivots to an outright confrontation, is a signature of scambaiter content. In this instance, the scammer, who claims to be from Pakistan, yells back, mocking the 9/11 attacks and saying his father is Osama bin Laden.ย  + +![](https://149346090.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/09.01.22_Rest-Of-World__Trilogy-Media_1090-40x60.jpg) + +Alex Welsh for Rest of World + +After making the video, Kulik and Bingham set up a YouTube channel to upload it. The [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xG2s5yoD6mk), titled โ€œIRS Scammer Gets OWNED โ€“ Then Threatens TERRORISM,โ€ is still up on the channel. Picked up by digital outlets like [Yahoo News](https://sg.news.yahoo.com/man-expertly-wastes-irs-phone-145559409.html) and the [*Daily Mail*](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4510186/Man-plays-tax-phone-scammers-game.html), the YouTube clip now has over 400,000 views. + +For Trilogy, the IRS scam video was a launching pad. โ€œOver the course of the next year, it catapulted us into that space of like, oh shit, we can monetize this,โ€ said Bingham. By 2017, after posting several more scammer call-out videos, theyโ€™d pivoted the entire Trilogy Media operation to scambaiting. + +Bingham and Kulik have since published over 400 videos to their channel, which now regularly receive hundreds of thousands of views. The channelโ€™s largest following is in the U.S., followed by India, the U.K., Canada, and Australia. + +Alongside ad monetization on YouTube and Facebook, Patreon subscriptions, andย tiered YouTube [channel memberships](https://www.youtube.com/trilogymedia/join), which cost from $1.99 to almost $500 [a month](https://www.youtube.com/trilogymedia/join), Bingham and Kulik say their largest source of revenue is fan donations. Trilogy Media declined to share exact figures on their revenue โ€” Bingham said doing so often leads to criticism online. + +Their success has allowed them to hire a full-time creative director, director of operations, and editor. Most recently, Trilogy has been taking meetings with production companies in hope of landing a scambaiting show or docuseries on a mainstream cable network or streaming service.ย  + +More than just bringing in income, they say, scambaiting has offered them a chance to put their showmanship to use while doing a public good. โ€œItโ€™s more than just prank calls,โ€ Kulik told *Rest of World*. โ€œItโ€™s prank calls to serve a purpose.โ€ + +--- + +**The idea of** actually traveling to India to scambait a call center in person came to Bingham and Kulik in 2018, not long after they started Trilogy Media. While chasing down call centers, they built relationships with several employees who had either left the industry or were looking for a way out, and realized they could leverage this network to gain deeper access. But it ultimately took four years, more than a dozen people, and a hefty price tag โ€” they estimate a total of more than $100,000 โ€” to travel to India and pull off their most ambitious video yet.ย  + +To execute the project, Trilogy joined forces with other scambaiters, including U.K.-based Jim Browning โ€” considered the godfather of the genre on YouTube โ€” and popular creator and former NASA engineer Mark Rober. Rober [built custom devices](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsLJZyih3Ac) that could be timed to release the vermin, bugs, and glitter that Trilogy would unleash on the unsuspecting call center workers. Meanwhile, Browning hacked his way into the office CCTV systems months before the trip to conduct reconnaissance on the call centers and prepare to record the footage live. + +> โ€œThe feedback is generally that you either love \[Trilogy\] or hate them.โ€ + +Browning told *Rest of World* that Bingham and Kulikโ€™s unfiltered personas, and the lengths they were willing to go to for their scambaiting content, persuaded him to team up*. โ€œ*Theyโ€™re prepared to show stuff that maybe doesnโ€™t make it into other peopleโ€™s videos. In a lot of ways, thatโ€™s why I like collaborating with them. Theyโ€™re kind of an open book,โ€ he said.ย  + +But he acknowledged that Trilogy Mediaโ€™s approach is not to everyoneโ€™s taste. โ€œThe feedback is generally that you either love \[Trilogy\] or hate them,โ€ he said. โ€œA lot of people obviously love what they do โ€ฆ but they wind people up as well.โ€ย  + +Rober did not reply to requests for an interview or comment. + +The crux of the plan hinged on Trilogyโ€™s network of former scam call center workers, several of whom are paid by the YouTube channel to assist with scambaiting projects. These informants helped identify the companies that Trilogy would go on to target in their videos. Two of the informants, who go by Jaani and Messi on the channel, infiltrated the office buildings to set up the pranks and place the hidden devices. One of them disguised themselves as a new call center recruit. + +โ€œIt was called โ€˜special operation,โ€™โ€ said Kulik. โ€œFor 12 months, every Sunday, religiously, everybody was on a 10 a.m. Zoom call.โ€ + +![](https://149346090.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/09.01.22_Rest-Of-World__Trilogy-Media_1240-40x60.jpg) + +Alex Welsh for Rest of World + +Kulik and Bingham touched down in Kolkata in April 2022 with two cameramen. It was the first time any of them had set foot in India. Their first port of call was the cityโ€™s tourist attractions, but they soon realized they stuck out sorely. After their second day of sightseeing, they returned to their hotel rooms and found theyโ€™d been spotted.ย  + +According to Kulik and Bingham, Jaani noticed a message in a Telegram group that he said was a hub for the scam call center industry. One member of the group said their โ€œboysโ€ had seen the Trilogy team filming in a busy local market and warned others that they were in town. The group member pinpointed the YouTuberโ€™s location to a neighborhood called Salt Lake, where they were staying at a hotel. + +โ€œMight be they are with the FBI so I request all our brothers to do this and have a\[n\] eye in Salt Lake โ€ฆ wherever you see them you shot them and please do follow,โ€ read one message in the group, according to screenshots shared with *Rest of World* by Trilogy Media. (The Telegram group is private and *Rest of World* was unable to independently verify these posts.) + +> โ€œWhat weโ€™ve been doing, wasting scammersโ€™ time over the phone, over and over again โ€ฆ itโ€™s becoming stale.โ€ + +The reality of what Trilogy had planned โ€” traveling to an unfamiliar country to prank unknown, alleged fraudsters โ€” finally set in for Kulik and Bingham.ย ย  + +โ€œโ€‹โ€‹We knew it was dangerous going in, but itโ€™s a different feeling when something like that actually happens. I know Iโ€™ll be reeling with it for a while,โ€ said Bingham.ย  + +But the risk also made the idea appealing, and gave it viral potential. โ€œI donโ€™t think weโ€™re the first ones to confront crime face-to-face. I just think thatโ€™s what makes good content and thatโ€™s what we want to do and weโ€™re willing to take risks because of it,โ€ he said. + +Over the course of a week, they planned to target three different call centers in Kolkata, starting with Ansh Info Solutions. They decided against pranking the final two, but still collected surveillance footage from inside the call centers. They then headed to Kashmir, where they attempted to chase down someone they believed to be a scammer for a face-to-face confrontation, but couldnโ€™t find them. + +Once back in LA, Trilogy spent several weeks editing the footage. They published their first video from the trip on May 9, in conjunction with the videos from Browning and Rober. Each of their videos appeared near the top of YouTubeโ€™s trending list, racking up tens of millions of views. The trip took Trilogyโ€™s content โ€” and their brand โ€” to the next level. In December, YouTube named Roberโ€™s video from their Kolkata collaboration one of its [top ten trending](https://blog.youtube/culture-and-trends/2022-top-trending-videos-creators-us/) videos of 2022. + +Speaking to *Rest of World* four months after the trip, Kulik reflected on the experience with characteristically expressive language. โ€œThere are so many different orgasms in the world, coming from love, coming from food, and as a content creator, you should have orgasm from what youโ€™re doing*,โ€* he said.ย  + +โ€œWhat weโ€™ve been doing, wasting scammersโ€™ time over the phone, over and over again โ€ฆ itโ€™s becoming stale. You have to have that adrenaline. You have to. Like I cannot be comfortable. When youโ€™re comfortable, youโ€™re fucking dead.โ€ + +Trilogyโ€™s video from the collaboration with Mark Rober hit over 2.6 million views and Roberโ€™s video was listed on Youtubeโ€™s top ten trending videos of 2022. + +--- + +**Back in Kolkata**, the pranks brought scrutiny to the local call center industry. A source familiar with the police investigations told *Rest of World* that Kolkata Policeโ€™s cybersecurity division raided all three call centers named in the videos: Ansh Info Solutions, MET Technologies, and VRM Business Solutions. In the days after Trilogy posted their videos, local media reports varied on whether the raids had taken place. According to [*The Times of India*](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/7-fake-call-centres-busted-3-with-help-from-us-netizen/articleshow/91453673.cms), all three were raided, while [The Quint](https://www.thequint.com/tech-and-auto/tech-news/west-bengal-police-raids-fake-call-center-exposed-in-mark-robers-viral-video-arrests-15) reported that MET Technologies had been shut down and 15 people arrested. Kolkata Police refused to comment. + +*Rest of World* reached out to the three companies for comment via social media, email, and phone numbers displayed on their social networks. Ansh Info Solutions and VRM Business Solutions did not respond. MET Technologies answered an initial phone call, but did not return promised answers to questions. When contacted shortly before publication, all three phone calls led to messages saying the numbers were now unavailable. + +One evening in October 2022, *Rest of World* visited the area immediately surrounding the publicly available address of one of the call centers, MET Technologies, in a technology park on the outskirts of Kolkata. The complex is made up of skyscrapers, some of which seemed deserted. Access was closely monitored by security guards. Over the past year, police have [frequently](https://www.telegraphindia.com/my-kolkata/news/44-arrested-in-raids-at-two-fake-call-centres-in-new-town/cid/1902594) [raided](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/cops-seal-fake-call-centre-in-new-town-arrest-10/articleshow/92689366.cms) suspected fraudulent call centers there.ย ย  + +At dusk, half a dozen buses pulled up to the edge of the park, delivering workers from across the city. Many were preparing for a night shift. Most of the workers refused to speak with *Rest of World* on the record. + +The next morning, *Rest of World* visited an address listed for Ansh Info Solutions. Workers were similarly reluctant to talk. Some had only recently started working there; most claimed they didnโ€™t know about the Trilogy Media videos. + +![](https://149346090.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/SSB_001-40x27.jpg) + +Soumya Sankar Bose for Rest of World + +Vivek Sharma, a Kolkata-based lawyer who said he currently represents more than 700 call center employees against criminal charges for scamming, told *Rest of World* that the humiliation caused by scambaiting videos can often push the police to conduct raids on call centers. But he questioned the impact of these raids. He also said such pranks can be indiscriminate, since many of the employees may not know what they are involved in. + +โ€œThey have been hired to make initial phone calls,โ€ Sharma said. โ€œThey follow a script.โ€ The calls are then usually transferred to a team of โ€œclosers,โ€ who he alleges secure the financial transaction. โ€œThey are the ones who blackmail victims,โ€ he added. + +But the police do not differentiate between different types of employees, Sharma claims. โ€œThey mostly go for the lowest hanging fruit: the youngsters from poorer backgrounds who know nothing,โ€ he said. โ€œI am currently representing a security guard at such a call center. His only job was to ensure no one stole hardware from the office. He doesnโ€™t know anything about what kind of operations go on inside.โ€ + +Sharma told *Rest of World* he disapproves of Trilogy Mediaโ€™s videos because they target the lowest rung of employees. โ€œWhen young boys and girls are whisked away by the police and charges filed, that remains on their record,โ€ he said, adding that many of his clients have struggled to find other jobs because of their criminal records, and others have found it difficult to marry. + +Sharma also suggested some workers may take jobs at call centers because of economic precarity. โ€œThey come from families where it is tough to get two square meals a day. They need to survive. Government is not being able to provide any job or financial assistance,โ€ he said. + +> โ€œThey come from families where it is tough to get two square meals a day. They need to survive.โ€ + +In response to similar criticism, Trilogyโ€™s founders claim that their impact is best understood in terms of the financial harm done to scam operations, and public awareness.ย  + +โ€œAlthough \[the pranks\] are harmless, it still shuts down their operations. That doesnโ€™t hurt the employees nearly as much as it hurts the bosses,โ€ said Bingham. โ€œThe bosses lose money, and at the end of the day, it exposes it to the whole world.โ€ + +Browning said that his goal is to humiliate the police. โ€œIf I continue to publish and embarrass \[the authorities\], maybe at some point thereโ€™ll be someone โ€ฆ who is prepared to take action,โ€ he said.ย  + +Ghosh, the former MET Technologies worker who now lives in Dubai, said he finds Trilogyโ€™s videos disturbing. โ€œNot everyone is doing fraud over there. Some people are doing their own work, doing good work,โ€ he said. + +After watching the viral video, Ghosh sent the link to former co-workers, many of whom had also moved on from MET Technologies. Their biggest complaint, he said, was how the videos portrayed India as a whole. โ€œIโ€™m not talking about any \[one\] company, because forget about the company. Some of the points when they are particularly targeting India โ€” thatโ€™s the thing we donโ€™t like.โ€ + +Sharma agreed, pointing out that international call center scams often have actors in multiple countries, with earnings being routed to bank accounts in Europe and elsewhere in Asia.ย  + +Kulik and Bingham are familiar with accusations that their content profits off of, or encourages, racist stereotypes about Indians. The Trilogy Media comments section is, at times, filled with similar criticisms. They both dismiss those outright. + +โ€œI think it would be dumb to to say what we do is racist by any means. We go where the calls take us*,โ€* said Bingham. โ€œThatโ€™s just the way that it is. You canโ€™t make commenters see that, all they see is a playlist of videos on a channel that all have Indian scammers in them. Sorry that doesnโ€™t look good, but itโ€™s true.*โ€* + +When asked whether heโ€™d direct similar attention to scammers in the U.S., he said that while they occasionally make domestic scammer videos, it was impractical at scale. โ€œFor the sake of making content, you know, Iโ€™m sure thereโ€™s a million scams all over the United States. I just donโ€™t know how to find them, you know?*โ€* he said, adding that phone scams are the easiest to identify. โ€œThe majority of Indians are amazing, good-hearted, amazing people that hate scammers like we do. And we would love to help those people remove that stigma from their country.โ€ + +Kulik was less diplomatic: โ€œFor me, itโ€™s like, we are not going after culture or religion. Weโ€™re going after a criminal. If the criminal is white, black, purple โ€” I donโ€™t give a shit. Itโ€™s a criminal and it just ends up being that Indians are very fucking smart people.โ€ + +- ![](https://149346090.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/SSB_006-40x27.jpg) + +- ![](https://149346090.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/SSB_011-40x27.jpg) + + Soumya Sankar Bose for Rest of World + + +New Town, a technology park on the outskirts of Kolkata where call centers featured in some of Trilogyโ€™s videos are located. + +--- + +**For three years**, Messi, one of the former scam call center workers who helped Trilogy set up their Kolkata stunt, worked just a few floors above MET Technologies, conducting social security scams. Messi asked to be identified by his nickname only, owing to threats he has received as a result of his scambaiting work.ย  + +Over a phone call organized by Trilogy Media, Messi told *Rest of World* how his old scam worked. The call center would leave automated voicemails claiming that the recipientโ€™s U.S. social security number had been compromised. When the target called back, Messi would tell them their identity had been used for illegal activities. In one scenario, he told callers a car rented in their name had been located by drug enforcement agents and had been used to smuggle cocaine. After convincing them their identity had been stolen, Messi would pass them along to a closer who would collect their bank account information. + +> โ€œI scammed a 77-year-old lady, but I felt so bad since she gave me almost $27,000 through FedEx.โ€ + +Messi said that the job was advertised as a sales position, but in practice, it was fraud. โ€œI scammed a 77-year-old lady, but I felt so bad since she gave me almost $27,000 through FedEx,โ€ he recalled. โ€œMy second sale was a 22-year-old boy. He gave me $50,000. His name was Dominic.โ€ + +Guilt weighed on Messi, but he said the work paid up to $2,500 or $3,000 per month, compared to the $200 he had earned working other jobs. + +In 2020, he saw a Trilogy Media video on YouTube and reached out. He claims he also reported the scamming operation to local police authorities, to no avail. After eight months, Bingham and Kulik wrote back. + +โ€œThey told me that, โ€˜We are going to help you for sure. We just need your help as well,โ€™โ€ he recalled. Messi began secretly filming videos of his office to prove his credibility, using a spy camera heโ€™d bought with money transferred from Bingham and Kulik. The footage he collected has regularly appeared in Trilogy Mediaโ€™s videos. + +For the past two years, Messi has acted as a mole, infiltrating call centers to collect intel on their operations and help arrange pranks. But the Kolkata project was by far the most thrilling work he has done for the team. โ€œโ€‹โ€‹It was full of happiness. It was full of everything. It was just full of joy, everything,โ€ he said. + +Messi still has many friends in the industry, several of whom he has recruited for smaller Trilogy projects. He is quick to defend the integrity of some scam call center employees, like himself, who he says are forced into this line of work because of their economic situation. โ€œI believe that, first of all, doing these scams is a need for them. If there are 100 people, itโ€™s a need for almost 30 people. And then 70 of them are working because theyโ€™re getting much more \[money\],โ€ he said. + +But when pressed about the potentially indiscriminate impact of Trilogyโ€™s prank videos, his tone changed. He claimed that the people working in the call centers targeted in Trilogyโ€™s Kolkata videos were not in need. โ€œThey are the sons of big families. They are the children of big families. So they are doing it not for their needs, but they are doing it to enjoy,โ€ he said + +When Messi spoke to *Rest of World* in October, he was once again working undercover for Trilogy, at a new call center. Trilogy pays him around $800โ€“$1,000 per project, which typically takes around a month. He also receives fan donations, which Trilogy collects for him through a PayPal link. โ€œItโ€™s up to them how much they can pay. But every time they ask the squad to support Messi, to support Jaani.โ€ + +The relationship between Trilogy and their moles hasnโ€™t always been smooth. In August 2022, Messi ran into financial difficulties. Trilogy initially supported him, but Bingham said they could not afford to cover all of his costs. Messi started reaching out to Trilogy contacts for financial support and also asked a โ€œsquadโ€ member for legal advice. After receiving complaints, Trilogy told Messi he could not approach people directly again. Messi recalled his appeal to Bingham and Kulik at the time: โ€œI am totally dependent on you. Because I left everything, everything bad. I left it behind, so I can expect something better if I am going to lead a good life. I just want your help to live it.โ€ + +> โ€œItโ€™s very risky โ€ฆ if you are helping outsiders.โ€ + +Messi said he feels a sense of purpose pursuing scammers, but has found himself in a precarious financial situation. โ€œIโ€™m also needy. Iโ€™m also poor. And Iโ€™m honest, and thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m helping \[these\] guys. And itโ€™s very risky โ€ฆ if you are helping outsiders, itโ€™s very risky to help them and itโ€™s very risky to go inside a call center and do these types of things.โ€ย  + +Messi said that in the aftermath of the Kolkata operation, workers from one of the call centers came to his apartment looking for him. Now he has to take safety precautions when returning to the city. + +In this world of alleged scammers, former scammers, and anti-scammers, it can be difficult to parse who is exploiting whom. Trilogy has accused another contact โ€” a former scammer who gave up his job during one of their livestreams and had appeared in their videos several times โ€” of taking advantage of them by falsely claiming hardship in order to receive financial support. While in Kolkata last year, they surprised him and published a video of the encounter to their channel, under the title, โ€œConfronting a Scammer In India (Face to Face).โ€ + +โ€œHeโ€™d been going behind our backs and asking for money from our supporters. โ€˜Hey, I need food to eat.โ€™ And this and this. And he started lying,โ€ said Kulik, adding that Trilogy gave him money for medical expenses, but then found out the medication was cheaper than he had claimed.ย  + +The video makes for uncomfortable viewing, with Bingham and Kulik confronting the emotional man, with the help of an interpreter, for over 30 minutes. Trilogy said they no longer have a relationship with this former contact. + +The ex-scammer told *Rest of World* he had tried to explain to Trilogy Media that he needed the money to pay off family debt, but that they did not seem to understand because of the language barrier. He added that he felt Trilogy Media did not support him enough after he quit his job at the call center during their livestream, and that the filmed confrontation had ruined his life, since many people in Kolkata still recognize him from it today. Since May 2022, the [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltxYTZURpUQ&t=14s) has been viewed over 400,000 times. + +As for Messi, he says that he and Trilogy remain on good terms, and that heโ€™s as committed to scambaiting as ever. He has done small projects for other popular figures in the scene, including Browning and another YouTuber who goes by the name ScammerPayback. In fact, he says he sees Bingham and Kulik like family โ€” a sentiment echoed by the YouTubers. โ€œThey are just like brothers. So I am helping them. They are paying me. Itโ€™s a good relation, not like of bosses and employees, but itโ€™s a relation of brothers,โ€ Messi said. + +- ![](https://149346090.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/09.01.22_Rest-Of-World__Trilogy-Media_1009-40x60.jpg) + +- ![](https://149346090.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/09.02.22_Rest-Of-World__Trilogy-Media_0540-40x60.jpg) + + Alex Welsh for Rest of World + + +Kulik puts a bug into his mouth during a livestream. + +--- + +**One Friday in** September 2022, *Rest of World* visited Trilogy Media at their Los Angeles office. Kulik was the first to the door, offering a handshake and an office tour. He was also quick to offer a glass of vodka. It was ten oโ€™clock in the morning.ย  + +The office decor spoke to Bingham and Kulikโ€™s ambitions for the production company. At eyeline hung a silver play-button plaque from YouTube, sent to creators who have topped 100,000 subscribers. Couches were pushed into a corner and a green-screen curtain pinned up, ready for an upcoming Zoom karaoke session with loyal subscribers.ย  + +Around noon, Bingham and Kulik started preparing for a marathon livestream session โ€” a mainstay of their work week. Lit by two studio lights against a green-screen backdrop, they spent the next three hours broadcasting live prank calls to suspected scam call centers, bickering, and collecting a stream of donations from their audience. It all culminated in the โ€œpunishment,โ€ a regular feature of their streams in which they suffer for the enjoyment of viewers. That week, Kulik was tasked with eating a giant water scorpion. He took a melodramatic pause before scarfing the bug down whole. + +Off the back of the success of their viral Kolkata videos, Trilogy Media are now planning their next move. Bingham and Kulik say they have taken meetings with Hollywood production companies. Theyโ€™ve also launched an independent streaming service called [Trilogy Plus](https://www.trilogyplus.com/browse). For a $9.99 monthly subscription, their most loyal squad members can watch original scambaiting series and other experimental formats that donโ€™t air on YouTube. + +Kulik describes himself and Bingham as the next Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.

Theyโ€™ve traced some receipts to banks in Uganda, some to Nigeria. In 2023, they are planning to travel to the continent to find the culprit.ย  + +After the livestream, the team set up the final shot of their โ€œMalice in Dallasโ€ series, which they had been filming for a year. Bingham and Kulik stood in front of a corkboard โ€” a prop, like one you might see in a detective movie. Pinned to the board were bank transfer receipts and a map of Africa. Each piece of evidence was connected with red twine, all leading back to a printout of a black silhouette representing the alleged scammer. + +The team rehearsed the scene, workshopping how they should look at the board and introduce their next trip. Should they fist bump?ย  + +Binghamโ€™s eyes drifted to a flag on the board โ€” the flag of South Africa. โ€œWhat flag is that?โ€ he asked the room. โ€œIs that Nigeria?โ€ + +โ€œI donโ€™t know, but I believe itโ€™s from Africa,โ€ said Boone. + +โ€œItโ€™s 100% an African flag,โ€ confirmed Bingham.ย  + +In the final take, later uploaded to Trilogy Plus, Bingham and Kulik studied the corkboard evidence, then left the offices with an air of intention, seemingly off to bust their next scammer.ย  + +The video ends after the camera pans to a framed painting of Leonardo DiCaprio holding up a $100 bill. Itโ€™s a portrait of DiCaprio playing the role of disgraced stockbroker Jordan Belfort in the 2013 film *The Wolf of Wall Street.* Bingham and Kulik told *Rest of World* that the painting, which hung in the apartment where they had launched Trilogy, provides a source of inspiration and is a mascot of sorts for their audience.ย  + +DiCaprioโ€™s character seems like an unlikely muse for a team of scambaiters: Belfort pled guilty to committing stock market manipulation in 1999. As part of his criminal operation, he ran a โ€œboiler roomโ€โ€” a call center that convinced unwitting investors to make shoddy investments. Itโ€™s estimated that he scammed traders out of $200 million. + +Bingham explained that they certainly donโ€™t wish to glorify Belfortโ€™s wrongdoings โ€” but they still admire his perseverance, and his hustle. + +โ€œOf course weโ€™re not condoning his crimes,โ€ he said. โ€œItโ€™s more about the chase.โ€ + +  +  + +--- +`$= dv.el('center', 'Source: ' + dv.current().Link + ', ' + dv.current().Date.toLocaleString("fr-FR"))` \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/00.03 News/Vladimir Putinโ€™s Revisionist History of Russia and Ukraine.md b/00.03 News/Vladimir Putinโ€™s Revisionist History of Russia and Ukraine.md index fb48888f..df0212fe 100644 --- a/00.03 News/Vladimir Putinโ€™s Revisionist History of Russia and Ukraine.md +++ b/00.03 News/Vladimir Putinโ€™s Revisionist History of Russia and Ukraine.md @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ --- Alias: [""] -Tag: ["Politics", "๐Ÿช–", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ/๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ", "๐Ÿช–", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ/๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ"] Date: 2022-02-27 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/Waiting for keys, unable to break down doors Uvalde schools police chief defends delay in confronting gunman.md b/00.03 News/Waiting for keys, unable to break down doors Uvalde schools police chief defends delay in confronting gunman.md index af8ae61c..9f594536 100644 --- a/00.03 News/Waiting for keys, unable to break down doors Uvalde schools police chief defends delay in confronting gunman.md +++ b/00.03 News/Waiting for keys, unable to break down doors Uvalde schools police chief defends delay in confronting gunman.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- -Tag: ["Crime", "๐Ÿ”ซ", "Uvalde", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿš”", "๐Ÿ”ซ", "Uvalde", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ"] Date: 2022-06-14 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/Wall Street's Short Kings.md b/00.03 News/Wall Street's Short Kings.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..5eb8dcc8 --- /dev/null +++ b/00.03 News/Wall Street's Short Kings.md @@ -0,0 +1,205 @@ +--- + +Tag: ["๐Ÿ“ˆ", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ", "๐Ÿ“Š", "๐Ÿป", "๐Ÿ’ธ"] +Date: 2023-02-05 +DocType: "WebClipping" +Hierarchy: +TimeStamp: 2023-02-05 +Link: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2023/03/wall-street-muddy-waters-activist-short-sellers-tesla-gamestop/672774/ +location: +CollapseMetaTable: true + +--- + +Parent:: [[@News|News]] +Read:: [[2023-02-06]] + +--- + +  + +```button +name Save +type command +action Save current file +id Save +``` +^button-WallStreetShortKingsNSave + +  + +# Wall Street's Short Kings + +![Black-and-white illustration of small figure casting long shadow in open doorway of large grid wall with stock data](https://cdn.theatlantic.com/thumbor/NOeSHODk_b0xsWcNr4YLUHysBhU=/0x0:2000x1125/1440x810/media/img/2023/02/01/WEL_Hughes_ShortSellers/original.jpg) + +Concept by Seb Agresti; Illustration by The Atlantic + +## The Man Who Moves Markets + +Carson Block uses covert techniques to uncover fraud for profit.

But Block had already made an approach to the real Horobin, who has an English accent, and learned that he hadnโ€™t sent those emails. + +Based on the impostorโ€™s inquiries, Block had a strong suspicion about why he was there. Beginning in 2015, Blockโ€™s hedge fund had published a series of highly critical research reports about Groupe Casino, an international retailer based in France. Block believed that Groupe Casino had sent this man on a spying mission to suss out his next moves. + +Confronted on camera, the man denied it. He looked around the room and flashed an awkward smile that quickly fell from his face. Then he ran for the door, managing to evade Blockโ€™s security team. + +The man was soon identified as Jean-Charles Brisard, a prominent corporate-security-and-intelligence consultant who had, in fact, regularly performed work for Groupe Casino, [according to reporting by the actual *Wall Street Journal*](https://www.wsj.com/articles/in-a-meeting-with-short-seller-carson-block-impersonator-caught-on-video-1509901548). (The company has disputed Blockโ€™s reports and denied any role in the episode at the Pierre. Brisard did not respond to a request for comment.) + +Carson Block lives for showdowns like this. Heโ€™s a short seller: a stock-market investor who looks for troubled companies and places bets against their share price. While most investors root for every uptick in the market, a short seller cuts the other way, making his profits when everyone else is failing. And in Blockโ€™s case, he can single-handedly tilt the odds in his favor. He is whatโ€™s known as an activist short seller, a newer and more aggressive variant. After activist shorts conclude that a company is headed for peril, they donโ€™t quietly wait for the share price to fall. They try to make it happen. + +About five times a year, Block unveils his latest campaign. In tweets and TV appearances, he announces that his hedge fund, [Muddy Waters Capital](https://www.muddywatersresearch.com/), has taken a short position in a particular stock, and he simultaneously publishes a research report about the company online, often alleging deception or outright fraud. He stands to profit if the share price plunges in responseโ€”and it frequently does. + +Activist shorts see themselves as fraud busters. Their reports are like oppo-research dossiers, informed by document dives, intelligence from outside sources, and, often, firsthand detective work. A man hired by Muddy Waters once smuggled a watch outfitted with a secret camera into a high-security facility by hiding it in a body cavity. Back when he did his own fieldwork, Block lined up a meeting in Singapore under an assumed name and hired a makeup artist to disguise him as an older man. (The ruse was totally unconvincing, he admitted: With fake wrinkles and a cotton-ball mustache that flapped around when he breathed, he felt like โ€œfucking Colonel Sandersโ€ and found himself speaking with a southern accent.) + +![black-and-white photo portrait of Carson Block against black background](https://cdn.theatlantic.com/thumbor/TTWZ8Md2ECrKphBXu8o4Wiu-W34=/0x0:1200x1800/655x982/media/img/posts/2023/02/WEL_Hughes_ShortSellersPortrait/original.jpg) + +Activist short sellers like Carson Block see themselves as fraud busters. (Brandon Thibodeaux for *The Atlantic*) + +Regardless of their methods, short sellers are regularly condemned by everyone from ordinary investors to members of Congress to Elon Musk. The practice is widely seen as a predatory attempt to profit from the stumbles of companies that employ hardworking people and support the economy. The typical response from the activist-short world is, in essence, a raised middle finger. On Twitter, they relish in trolling their enemies. A company deemed to be worthless is a โ€œshitco,โ€ a โ€œzero,โ€ a โ€œbagel.โ€ Theyโ€™re constantly sniping at Musk, whose company Tesla theyโ€™ve long considered outrageously overpriced. + +I recently met with Block at the Muddy Waters offices, in Austin, Texas. At 46, he has the air of a bright fraternity guy who reluctantly behaves himself around grown-ups only when necessary. He has a linebackerโ€™s physique, with massive upper arms. At the office, he looked most at home in a law-school sweatshirt, throwing around profanities and chewing on Life Savers. He drank an afternoon beer, joked about circumcision, and used the jerk-off gesture while recording an episode of his streaming show, *Zer0 Fucks Given*. + +But despite the outsider posture, Block and a handful of similar activists have gained real influence. After years as an independent operator, Block was able to open his hedge fund in 2015 because representatives of an Ivy League universityโ€™s endowment approached him at a conference and soon offered a $100 million initial investment. He appears regularly on CNBC to opine on the markets. The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice have cracked down on misconduct that Block and his competitors have exposed. Robert Jackson, a former SEC commissioner, said onstage at a conference last summer, โ€œCarson Block has uncovered more fraud and saved investors more money than me or anyone else whoโ€™s had the job I had as an SEC commissioner.โ€ In March 2022, after a Muddy Waters report sparked a successful case, the SEC granted Block a [$14 million whistleblower award](https://news.bloomberglaw.com/securities-law/carson-block-sued-over-14-million-sec-whistle-blower-award). + +This latest accolade came with a dose of incredible irony, however: The SEC is investigating Block himself, and so is the Department of Justice. On a Friday morning in October 2021, Block was putting his young son in the car when three strangers approached wearing blue windbreakers with yellow lettering on the backโ€”FBI. They showed him a search warrant authorizing them to seize two phones and a computer. This was how Block learned that he was a focal point of a sprawling criminal investigation. The DOJ is probing a number of prominent short sellers, with special scrutiny on the activist crowd. The investigation, which is still unfolding, has given an electric charge to a long-running dispute: Are activist short sellers the heroes of Wall Street, or the villains? + +There was a time when short sellers generally preferred to stay behind the curtain. If they wanted to move the market with a hard-hitting story, they went through the press. Investors would quietly approach reporters with suspicions of corporate deceit or even bring them a stuffed research file, on condition of anonymity: *If you call this scientist, heโ€™ll tell you why this drugmakerโ€™s claims about its product donโ€™t make sense.* In 2000, the investor James Chanos famously detected an odor at a Wall Street darling called Enron, shorted the stock, and spoke with Bethany McLean at *Fortune*. She ran with the story and [eventually co-wrote a best seller about the energy giantโ€™s epic downfall](https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-smartest-guys-in-the-room-the-amazing-rise-and-scandalous-fall-of-enron-bethany-mclean/7678702?ean=9781591846604). + +Todayโ€™s activist short sellers want to write the exposรฉ themselves. For them, the press is too stingy for deep investigations, too scared of litigation, too slow. Andrew Left, one of the fieldโ€™s pioneers, told me, โ€œIโ€™m not going to wait for *The* *Wall Street* fucking *Journal*.โ€ + +The activist shorts trace their origins to the wilds of the early consumer internet, amid the first dot-com boom. On the message boards of Silicon Investor, RagingBull.com, and Yahoo, a few contrarians would set out to deflate overhyped start-ups, usually under pseudonyms. The funnier and more brazen voices gained a following, and Left was inspired to join in. + +Left had once been sanctioned for defrauding customers during a youthful stint in a boiler room, where he cold-called easy prey to sell them on scammy investments. Later, he started shorting the types of dubious stocks he used to tout over the phone. On his rudimentary website, StockLemon.com, he wrote takedowns in the emerging lingua franca of the internet, riffing on pop culture and quoting rap lyrics. He initially went after penny stocks that were being heavily promoted online, and a growing list of his targets ended up facing regulatory penalties. After a while, he started hunting bigger game and gave StockLemon the more dignified name [Citron Research](https://citronresearch.com/). In 2015, he [helped unravel a scandal at Valeant Pharmaceuticals](https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-short-who-sank-valeant-stock-1445557157) that tanked the share price and led to prison time for two executives connected to the company. Left embraced the role of a guy of modest origins crashing the gates of blue-blood Wall Street. In one report about a company called Medbox, he wrote, โ€œYou have to be smoking crack to buy this marijuana stock.โ€ He issued a dare to the founder and CEO: โ€œYour first reaction will be to want to sue me. I hope you do!โ€ + +Carson Block entered the picture almost accidentally. He grew up in New Jersey, the son of an alcoholic parent (he wonโ€™t say which one). As a student he talked back to teachers, blew off tests, and set the school record for time served in detention. His father was an analyst on Wall Street who promoted stocks he liked, and Block did enough work for him to grow suspicious of the whole scene: CEOs, bankers who took companies public, PR peopleโ€”he thought they seemed like a bunch of liars. He went to the University of Southern California and law school; did stints as a banker and a lawyer; and lived for years in China, where he opened a self-storage business that failed. + +In January 2010, he was an angry 33-year-old expat with debt when he visited a remote factory in a snow-covered area of Hebei province. He was there on behalf of his father, to conduct some due diligence on a publicly traded paper manufacturer called Orient Paper. + +Block and a friend who accompanied him found a business that bore no apparent resemblance to the thriving operation that Orient Paper purported to be. The country road leading to the factory couldnโ€™t support the truck traffic the plant ought to have been producing, they thought. According to Block, the building was filled with steam and dripping water, posing obvious hazards for paper products. A stock of raw material allegedly worth millions was a heap of scrap cardboard sitting outside in the snow. After seeing even more red flags in Chinese public records, Block used a credit-card advance to place a $2,000 short bet and sent out a brutal analysis under a new banner, Muddy Waters, in an email to a few dozen Wall Street contacts he barely knew. โ€œWe are confident,โ€ [the report said](https://www.muddywatersresearch.com/research/orient-paper-inc/initiating-coverage-onp/), that Orient Paper โ€œis a fraud.โ€ It was forwarded all over Wall Street and got a mention on CNBC. Although the company denied the allegations, the stock fell by as much as 24 percent within two weeks, and it has never recovered. Block completely bungled his trading in the aftermath of the report and ultimately lost money, he told me, but he had found a career. + +[From the September 2015 issue: How Wall Streetโ€™s bankers stayed out of jail](https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/09/how-wall-streets-bankers-stayed-out-of-jail/399368/) + +People started contacting Block with their suspicions about other companies operating in China, and he and a small group of collaborators dug in. They soon took on a much bigger target: Sino-Forest, a timber producer. The outfit had a prominent backer, John Paulson, who had recently made a fortune by effectively shorting the housing market ahead of the global financial crisis. The [Muddy Waters report](https://www.muddywatersresearch.com/research/tre/initiating-coverage-treto/), packed with photos and on-the-ground analysis, stated that Sino-Forest was a โ€œnear total fraud,โ€ claiming to buy and sell vast tracts of timber that simply didnโ€™t exist. The $4 billion company collapsed into bankruptcy within a year, and a Canadian regulator validated many of Blockโ€™s findings. Paulson took an enormous loss, and this time Block won bigโ€”a โ€œlife-changingโ€ trade, he said. + +The Muddy Waters headquarters is a loftlike space a few blocks from the Texas capitol and governorโ€™s mansion, with exposed beams and brick and a wall decorated with mementos ridiculing Blockโ€™s enemies. In an office bathroom, a poster bearing the letterhead of the consulting giant McKinsey & Company gives instructions on masturbation. To Block, McKinsey helps companies get away with things they shouldnโ€™t be doing, just like the elite law firms heโ€™s often pitted against. + +In a conference room, one of Blockโ€™s analysts walked me through a draft report that Muddy Waters was preparing, on the condition that I not reveal the target. Block is obsessive, even paranoid, about preventing leaks, which can jeopardize his ability to profit from a big reveal. The document used a code name for the companyโ€”a fake ticker symbolโ€”in case of prying eyes. It had been heavily annotated by at least four people. + +Block describes what he does as โ€œinvestigative journalism married to a different business modelโ€ and is trying to rebrand activist shorts as โ€œjournalist investors.โ€ During my visit, he joined, via remote video, a Delaware court hearing, in which Muddy Watersโ€™ counsel contended that the fund should be protected from a subpoena by the stateโ€™s shield law for journalists. + +The argument is a stretch. Aside from the fact that attempting to profit from an article would make objectivity impossible for a reporter, much of what activist shorts do would have no place in a newsroom. Their reports are more like prosecutorial briefs than news stories, with little to no airing of opposing views. Any reputable reporter will approach a company before publishing damning allegations, to offer a chance to respond or correct errors. Activist shorts donโ€™t generally do this, because the target could mess up the trade. Block and his competitors have also used muckraking tactics that would be forbidden at most news organizations: undercover work, paid sources, covert recordings. Theyโ€™ll spy on factories and trick security guards into revealing precious information. Block maintains that if you want the ugly truth, you canโ€™t go in through the front door. + +Short activismโ€™s borderline methods became a focus of last fallโ€™s criminal trial of Trevor Milton, the former CEO of the electric-vehicle maker Nikola Corporation, who was convicted of fraud and has since moved for a new trial. In a 2020 report, Nate Anderson, of Hindenburg Research, accused Milton of a series of lies and [revealed a delicious detail](https://hindenburgresearch.com/nikola/): In a promotional video that showed a prototype of Nikolaโ€™s hydrogen-fuel-cell truck cruising across a desert landscape, the truck was not in fact traveling on its own, because it didnโ€™t work. It had been towed up a hill, and the only thing powering it was gravity. + +Jurors watched the video over the protestations of defense attorneys, who later emphasized that Anderson had rewarded his source, a former Nikola contractor. A paid source has an incentive to exaggerate, and Anderson had cut his in on the short bet, resulting in a $600,000 payout. Anderson said it was appropriate to compensate the whistleblower for his efforts and risk, and that all allegations had been vetted by Hindenburg. + +In early 2022, Anderson got particularly creative on another project. His team was investigating a suspected Ponzi scheme involving an investing firm called J and J Purchasing. To get a meeting with J and Jโ€™s principals, they enlisted a man with experience in improv comedy to pose as a prospective client. A meeting occurred at a private airport in Nevada, aboard a jet that Hindenburg had chartered for the occasion to lend the impression of fabulous wealth. The plane was outfitted with hidden cameras and microphones. + +Anderson told me that when a friend first proposed using a jet as a baited trap, โ€œI thought it was a pretty insane idea. And it took me about five seconds to really love it.โ€ There was no way to short J and J, because it wasnโ€™t publicly traded, but Andersonโ€™s company filed a whistleblower claim with the SEC, putting it in a position to be paid should the agency recover significant funds in a case. + +The FBI had the secret recordings from the jet when its agents paid a visit in March 2022 to a lawyer who helped run the scheme, looking to execute a search warrant at his Las Vegas home. Then the tale of a vigilante caper gave way to something more grave. The attorney, Matthew Beasley, came to the door holding a gun to his head. He swung the weapon toward the agents, a prosecutor later said, and was shot in the chest and shoulder before retreating into the house. During an hours-long armed standoff, Beasley spoke of suicide and confessed to an FBI negotiator that he had scammed investors out of some $300 million. He was finally taken into custody. The SEC has [brought charges against 15 people](https://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/2022/lr25434.htm) allegedly connected to the operation, and court filings indicate that Beasley is negotiating a possible plea deal. Anderson has submitted [Hindenburgโ€™s report](https://hindenburgresearch.com/jj-purchasing/) for consideration for the Pulitzer Prize in investigative journalism. + +At a conference called Fraud Fest this past summer in Manhattan, Andrew Left, 52 and well tanned, took the stage wearing white-leather shoes with tassels and a crisp pink shirt. The annual event attracts academics, lawyers, and journalists with an interest in corporate misconduct, but short sellers are a big draw, because they can be counted on to throw a few grenades. During Leftโ€™s appearance, he lobbed one at Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX. This was months before Bankman-Friedโ€™s meltdown, but Left ridiculed him as a shifty guy posturing as the โ€œFederal Reserve of cryptoโ€ in the Bahamas. โ€œI think cryptoโ€”itโ€™s just a *complete* fraud,โ€ Left said. + +The usual suspects were in attendance. Nate Anderson was there, along with some of the older generation of big leaguers who donโ€™t publish their research, such as Jim Carruthers and Jim Chanos, of Enron fame. Block was set to join the proceedings remotely for the conference finale. + +The shorts are a small circle who refer to one another by first name. There are a few bitter rivalries, but the group is united by a deep conviction that just about everyone else is corrupt or clueless. Within this crew, Chanos is something like the elder statesmanโ€”he has gray hair and teaches a class at Yaleโ€”but even he tweets โ€œLOLโ€ and โ€œAYFKMโ€ from [a pseudonymous account](https://twitter.com/WallStCynic) that everyone knows is his. + +Soren Aandahl, of Blue Orca Capital, compared the short world to the bizarro cantina in *Star Wars*โ€”a โ€œmotley collection of ridiculous charactersโ€ who exist โ€œon the outer rim, at the edge of the empire.โ€ This club has fewer Ivy League types than the rest of Wall Street, and more guys with tattoos. To be a short is to swim against the current of history, especially since the global financial crisis, the era of short activismโ€™s ascendancy. Despite the bear market of the past year, if you zoom out on the timeline of the financial markets, the charts go up and to the rightโ€”the bulls win. + +Membership also involves maniacal levels of risk. If you โ€œgo longโ€ by buying stock, like most investors, the worst you can do is lose the money you put down in the first place. To short a stock, you borrow shares and then immediately sell them. The hope is that later you can buy the shares for cheaper, return them to the lender, and pocket the difference. But at some point, you need to make your move and โ€œcoverโ€โ€”buy back those shares you owe. And because there is no limit to how high the price can go, thereโ€™s no limit to how much you can lose. If you shorted Enron too early, you faced serious paper losses as the share price soared. Unless you had steely conviction and a large balance sheet, you likely gave up before the plunge proved you right. After the mega-investor Bill Ackman made [a big bet against Herbalife](https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/06/wall-streets-6-billion-mystery/361624/) and waged a public battle that didnโ€™t pay off, he declared that activist short selling was โ€œnot worth the brain damage.โ€ + +At the Fraud Fest conference, there was a lot of talk, as usual, about Elon Musk, who was then in the midst of his doomed attempt to back out of buying Twitter. In private huddles and onstage, the shorts were grinning at the prospect that heโ€™d be forced to close a raw deal. If the shorts have an Enemy No. 1, itโ€™s Musk. + +About a decade ago, short sellers began zeroing in on Tesla. They saw the company as just another fanciful tech โ€œstory,โ€ propped up by credulous investors and fanboys. The idea that a start-up would beat established automakers by selling millions of electric cars was a pipe dream. Plus, Tesla was burning through cash. In 2017, Chanos said he thought the stock was โ€œworthless.โ€ Most prominent short sellers have bet against the company at some point. Musk has responded with characteristic attitude over the years, arguing that short selling should be illegal and calling its practitioners โ€œjerks who want us to die.โ€ + +The feud heated up in 2018, when Musk teased that the โ€œshort burn of the centuryโ€ was coming. Weeks later, he [tweeted](https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1026872652290379776?lang=en) that there was โ€œfunding securedโ€ to take Tesla private. The share price predictably rose; the buyout never happened. Left lost money and sued over the tweet, alleging that Musk had violated securities law by making a false statement. โ€œI think Elon is a criminal,โ€ Block told me. Musk [reached a settlement](https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/10/elon-musk-tesla-sec-twitter/572230/) with the SEC, or, as he called it, the โ€œShortseller Enrichment Commission.โ€ + +[Read: Elon Musk mocks SEC on Twitter days after settlement](https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/10/elon-musk-tesla-sec-twitter/572230/) + +Despite Blockโ€™s antipathy for Musk, over the years he has concluded that the mogul plays โ€œthe public-company gameโ€ better than anyone. Musk understands the power of rallying your fans and investors against an enemy in a fight that feels righteous. What better enemy than short-selling hedge funds? In recent months, Tesla has finally had the precipitous fall that the shorts had long predicted. Unfortunately for them, most had already closed their positions in despair. In 2020 and 2021, with considerable help from everyday traders who idolize Musk, Teslaโ€™s stock skyrocketed, costing the shorts oceans of money. A delighted Musk announced a new product: Tesla-branded red-satin โ€œshort shorts.โ€ A rush of fans crashed the website. + +Those years, during the worst of the coronavirus pandemic, were rough for short sellers. The government pumped trillions into the economy to prop it up, sending markets to the sky. Companies that shorts believed were โ€œbagelsโ€ got a ride on the froth. Block thought it was obscene: Bogus crypto schemes were running rampant, COVID was killing people by the tens of thousands, โ€œand the markets were ripping!โ€ A custom sweatshirt hangs on the wall at Muddy Waters. It reads 2020: Does Anything Matter Anymore? + +And then came GameStop. On Reddit boards and other social media, day traders argued that Wall Street pros were undervaluing unglamorous stocks such as GameStop, a brick-and-mortar retailer of video games. Other users gleefully pointed out that these stocks were heavily shorted, which presented an opportunity: If enough people banded together to bid up the price, they could induce the #MOASS, the mother of all short squeezes. In a short squeeze, a spiking price causes panicking short sellers to close their position by buying the shares they oweโ€”which only drives the price higher still. + +Forming a stampede, the Reddit crowd sent GameStop and other widely shorted stocks [to unimaginable heights](https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/01/why-everybody-obsessed-gamestop/617857/). They called themselves โ€œdegenerates,โ€ casting themselves as the riffraff of the market. Left tried to push back, telling GameStop buyers they were โ€œthe suckers at this poker game.โ€ The mob ran him over. Left took an eight-figure loss on his trade. He and his family were inundated with hacking attempts, threatening texts, and prank pizza deliveries in the middle of the night, he said. Musk, already an idol to many degenerates, tweeted a link to the Reddit board and invoked the in-crowd lingo: โ€œGamestonk!!โ€ + +[Derek Thompson: The whole messy, ridiculous GameStop saga in one sentence](https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/01/why-everybody-obsessed-gamestop/617857/) + +The Redditors painted the shorts as enemies of the people, and it worked. โ€œPrivate funds engaged in predatory short selling to the detriment of other investors must be stopped,โ€ Representative Maxine Waters of California said, [announcing an investigation](https://twitter.com/FSCDems/status/1354901344704991232?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) following the GameStop episode. For the shorts, it was absurd. They had just been left for dead in a coordinated short squeezeโ€”and they were the bad guys? Left had always thought of himself as David to the Wall Street establishmentโ€™s Goliath. Now he was Goliath. + +Days after taking a beating on GameStop, on January 29, 2021, Left announced his indefinite retirement from activist short selling in [a video posted online](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPoVv7oX3mw). An incredible coincidence followed, although it didnโ€™t become public at the time. Minutes after he recorded the video, federal agents executed a search warrant at Leftโ€™s house in Beverly Hills, seizing electronic devices. According to Block, Left called him, sounding shaken. Left told him that a whole crowd of agents was at his house and that the government wanted all his communications with dozens of short sellers about certain stocks. The list included Muddy Waters. Nine months later, the FBI showed up in Blockโ€™s driveway. + +Both Block and Left told me that they are guilty of nothing, and expressed frustration that they donโ€™t understand exactly what crime they are suspected of committing. โ€œI donโ€™t even know what Iโ€™m innocent about!โ€ Left said. The DOJ probe began several years before the two men learned of its existence. They both said they have turned over tens of thousands of pages of records to the government. + +Not everyone would talk with a journalist while being investigated by the Department of Justice. Although Block and Left may never be charged, they are living under the threat that they could be arrested at any time. Two of Blockโ€™s co-workers were also served with warrants, as was at least one other activist short, an associate of Blockโ€™s. (Nate Anderson hasnโ€™t received a subpoena or a warrant and is not a current focus of the investigation.) + +Despite Blockโ€™s perilous situation, during many hours of interviews he rarely declined to answer a question. With his methods and trading under legal scrutiny, he described them in detail. He called it โ€œunforgivableโ€ that federal agents served him in front of his young son, and said he suspects that his fate is in the hands of โ€œhorrific peopleโ€ in government. Faced with broad subpoenas naming numerous prominent funds, he and Left have interpreted the investigation, correctly or not, as an attack on the entire practice of short activism, and Block has taken the lead in fighting back. (He complained to me that his fellow short sellers werenโ€™t being more vocal in their own defense.) + +For decades, public companies contending with short reports have countered by accusing them of making false or misleading statements, which can constitute securities fraud or defamation. Block and Left have each been sued over their published claims numerous times. But in cases of that kind, First Amendment protections typically prevail. The current DOJ investigation, which carries much higher stakes than a civil suit, has taken a different approach. According to sources familiar with the matter, the investigation is probing possible coordination surrounding the publication of short reports, looking for signs of market manipulation or other trading abuses. The focus is on trading activity, not the content of the reports. In this respect at least, prosecutors have taken a page from an unusual source: the research of a 37-year-old professor at Columbia Law School named Joshua Mitts. + +Mitts looks young enough to be in college. He has a studious air, a nasal voice, and a doctorate in finance and economics. His work expresses a range of views, including in support of short selling. But he is best known as the author of a paper called โ€œ[Short and Distort](https://scholarship.law.columbia.edu/faculty_scholarship/2782/).โ€ He posted it as a preprint in June 2018 and soon became a public voice on the issue. Drawing on trading data, he had reached the conclusion that when short reports were followed by a steep plunge, often the cause wasnโ€™t revelations of purported fraud or mismanagement. Instead, he argued, the drop was more typically prompted by some suspiciously well-timed trades that โ€œmechanically crashโ€ the share price. Mitts noted that traders who appeared to know about a report ahead of time made highly leveraged short bets that were, in a sense, spring-loadedโ€”they triggered automated trading by others that could accelerate a downward move. During the short-term plunge, by his interpretation, the price didnโ€™t reflect true supply and demand. Instead, it was the result of a handful of people gaming the system. + +![Black-and-white illustration of person peering through jagged downward-trending white line on black grid background](https://cdn.theatlantic.com/thumbor/Qwi5tDk7cGXGSpAXGbaOW2U2oJU=/0x0:2031x2191/655x707/media/img/posts/2023/02/WEL_Hughes_ShortSellersSpot/original.jpg) + +Concept by Seb Agresti; Illustration by *The Atlantic* + +This theory was exactly what targeted companies wanted to hear. They invariably faced shareholder suits accusing them of covering up misconduct alleged in short reports. Mittsโ€™s research would allow them to argue in court that the shareholdersโ€™ losses were somebody elseโ€™s fault. + +Mitts started doing some consulting. He made his first approach to Farmland Partners, a small Colorado firm that invests in agricultural land. It was reeling from a short report that had prompted a 39 percent sell-off, and hired Mitts to help with a lawsuit against the pseudonymous author. Within months, Mitts was advising several companies that had met with the SEC about short activism. He wrote in a column, โ€œPublic companies are under attack from manipulative short sellers.โ€ + +Block jousted with Mitts on Twitter, proposing a debate. He believed Mitts was swinging wildly with his allegations and hadnโ€™t proved that short sellers were manipulating the market. He visited one of Mittsโ€™s classes at Columbia and sat down with him to discuss his methods. Then Mitts became a consultant to a company that was seeking to discredit Block after he had shorted it. Block saw this as a betrayal. Within a year, Mitts also began advising the Department of Justice. The activist short sued by Farmland, Quinton Mathews, later came under government scrutiny as well and was questioned multiple times by DOJ officials. Investigators broadened their probe into the wider network of short sellers, including Block and Left. The Justice Department engaged Mitts as an expert in that effort. + +To Block and other activist shorts, the picture suggests a suspicious coziness between the government and corporate America. In their interpretation, companies werenโ€™t having much luck getting regulators to go after short sellers whoโ€™d made them look bad. Then along came an Ivy League academic to provide the credentials and intellectual underpinning for an escalating series of legal offensives. On Twitter, Block called Mitts โ€œthe tip of the spear in the War Against Shorts.โ€ He argues that shady companies used Mittsโ€™s faulty ideas to advance their agendaโ€”and Mitts managed to gain the trust of the Justice Department. (The DOJ declined to comment.) + +At Fraud Fest, in a recorded interview aired from the stage, Mitts rebutted criticisms that [Block had laid out in detail](https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4041541). Block appeared on-screen immediately afterward. He likened Mittsโ€™s comments to โ€œa typical management response to being busted,โ€ prompting laughter from the seats where the short sellers had congregated. Mittsโ€™s scholarship, Block said, was โ€œa pile of shit from top to bottom.โ€ (Block has also accused the professor of academic fraud, and wrote a letter of complaint to Columbiaโ€™s human-resources department. The university took no action against Mitts; he was granted tenure during Blockโ€™s offensive.) + +Mitts told me that his aims and motives have been badly mischaracterized. If he has been helpful to government officials, he said, โ€œI am very proud of that fact.โ€ But he disputed the idea that heโ€™s the tip of any spear: โ€œThe notion that a law professor is directing a federal investigation is as ridiculous as it sounds.โ€ He also questioned the notion that an academic paper would lead a judge to find probable cause to authorize a search warrant. Indeed, the prominent former federal prosecutor Eric Rosen describes a search warrant as a message from the government that says, โ€œWe have strong evidence to believe that both a crime occurred and that you were a part of it.โ€ What exactly made the Justice Department arrive at that belief about Block and Left is not yet clear. + +By now, Block has accumulated the kind of power that seems easy to exploit. When he attended the Hong Kong edition of the Sohn Conference in 2017, he was constantly shadowed by a crowd of reporters as the market feverishly tried to guess what new short he would announce onstage. A lot of people guessed wrong; stocks that werenโ€™t even on his radar fell sharply. They bounced back once he revealed his actual target: a furniture maker in Hong Kong, whose stock immediately plunged. In 2020, when Block announced a short position in the company eHealth during a CNBC interview, the network [showed a real-time graph](https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/08/carson-blocks-muddy-waters-takes-short-position-in-ehealth.html) of the share price next to his face on-screen. The stock fell by 15 percent inside of a minute. + +[From the February 1930 issue: Selling short: The morals and economics of margins](https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1930/02/selling-short-the-morals-and-economics-of-margins/650864/) + +The mere fact that Block has made a short bet can be enough to pummel a stock, allowing him to profit regardless of the merits of his claims. It is widely believed that traders have developed algorithms to scrape his Twitter feed and website for new mentions of stock tickers in order to beat the rush for the exits. Because the market is now largely an arena in which computers trade with other computers, the downward move can be exacerbated by high-frequency and other algorithmic traders. When the price crosses thresholds that trigger shareholdersโ€™ โ€œstop-loss orders,โ€ selling begets even more selling. Was Block right? It barely matters. + +Celebrating a short sellerโ€™s campaign is easy when it proves to be on the side of justice. The world benefited when Block revealed that Sino-Forest was riddled with fraud. But many short reports produce a messier outcomeโ€”an initial dive in the stock price followed by months of arguments over the authorโ€™s allegations, in the markets and sometimes in court. By the time the truth is sorted out, the activist short is long gone: He probably cashed out his winning bet on day one, during the collapse he catalyzed. Block himself doesnโ€™t deny that he starts closing his position right after a report is published, as a means of managing his risk. + +In that scenario, short activism can look more like a get-rich-quick scheme. Take the Farmland case. Mathews, the short seller, ultimately [admitted in a settlement](https://seekingalpha.com/instablog/47800059-rota-fortunae/5605955-mathews-settlement-press-release) that he had made serious misstatements in his report, yet he and other shorts still profited on the initial drop. If you cover your trade immediately, Farmland CEO Paul Pittman told me, โ€œyouโ€™re not selling into the fact that you have discovered something negative about a public company. Youโ€™re selling into the panic that you created yourself.โ€ + +The Farmland episode drew attention to another unadvertised practice: Often the author of a short report is only one participant in a coordinated campaign, and the biggest player is usually invisible. Mathews had targeted Farmland only after a hedge fund that was paying him a monthly fee, Sabrepoint Capital Management, alerted him to the stock. To Pittman, Mathews was a โ€œdupeโ€ and Sabrepoint was the true mastermind. (Sabrepoint insists that it didnโ€™t pay Mathews to publish a report, only to do research, and denies any wrongdoing.) + +Partnerships like this are an open secret in the business, and typically theyโ€™re even more direct. An activist short who doesnโ€™t have the capital to fully exploit his idea will often link up with a โ€œbalance-sheet providerโ€โ€”a larger hedge fund that puts on a big trade and gives the author a piece of the proceeds. Block had a silent backer early in his career (and once sold a report to several funds ahead of time). Now, in addition to publishing its own reports, Muddy Waters is the undisclosed balance-sheet provider behind other activist shorts. + +It is unclear whether any of this conduct can be construed as illegal, absent a false statement. But the government could possibly bring a case alleging that activist shorts are guilty of, in essence, a reverse pump and dump. If you tout an investment when your own intention is to sell, you can be charged with a crimeโ€”youโ€™ve broadcast a fraudulent opinion in an attempt to manipulate the price. Now invert the scenario. Imagine thereโ€™s a stock at $10 and an activist short publicly claims that itโ€™s worth $2 at best. If he starts covering by buying back shares at $7, the theory goes, hasnโ€™t he lied to the market? If you truly believe that the stock is worth $2, why arenโ€™t you waiting for it to fall that far? + +Block shakes his head ruefully at that kind of thinkingโ€”if only the world made that much sense. Like many shorts, he has long seen himself as a force of reason, someone who grabs the market by the lapels and says, *This company is selling you a fairy tale. Snap out of it.* His fierce demeanor grows out of an idealistic belief that if he can show that a company is doing something wrong, the market ought to respond. + +But as the markets have become divorced from economic reality, Blockโ€™s idealism has curdled into a kind of nihilism. Sure, he thinks, it would be terrific if a shitco worth $2 a share actually went to $2. But what if a bunch of Reddit degenerates decide to shoot it to the moon because *LOL, nothing matters*โ€Š? When youโ€™re operating in an anarchic multiplayer video game, his logic goes, you need to protect yourself somehow. + +To the shorts, Mitts and perhaps the DOJ live in a dreamworld where short sellers have somehow figured out how to control the video game. If you think short activism is a get-rich-quick scheme, they say, *you* try it. Youโ€™ll learn itโ€™s a get-poor-quick scheme too. Last summer, Block lost more money than he ever has in a single trade, he said, due to an epic case of bad timing. He had shorted a solar company, Sunrun, and was preparing to publish his report the next day, when Senator Joe Manchin [unexpectedly announced a deal](https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/27/politics/schumer-manchin-deal-build-back-better/index.html) on legislation that would boost the whole solar industry. Sunrunโ€™s stock shot up, too late for Block to back out, and Muddy Waters lost eight figures. โ€œWe got Manchined,โ€ he said. + +In Blockโ€™s worldview, all you can do is accept the chaos and keep looking for an edge, no matter what kind of ridiculous situations you find yourself in. He recounted to me what happened when, in early 2020, Muddy Waters [published a deep dive into Luckin Coffee](https://www.wsj.com/articles/coffees-for-closers-how-a-short-sellers-warning-helped-take-down-luckin-coffee-11593423002), a company with hundreds of locations in China that was making a run at Starbucks. The analysis drew on more than 11,000 hours of video surveillance and more than 25,000 customer receipts to conclude that some of the sales numbers had to be faked. (Luckin later acknowledged this to be true.) + +Blockโ€™s team members hadnโ€™t done the research or writing, but after spot-checking the report, they decided it was credible and tweeted it out. The stock began to tumble. Then, hours later, Andrew Left tweeted that despite his โ€œrespect for Muddy,โ€ he took the opposite view: On Luckin, he was a buyer. Boom, the shares rebounded. The truth about Luckin Coffee wouldnโ€™t be known for some time, but for now, the stock had become the plaything of two men. Fortunes would be won and lost based on tweets. It was a farce, but what can you do? Block smiled broadly, like a child, and laughed: โ€œFuckinโ€™ Andrew.โ€ + +--- + +*This article appears in the [March 2023](https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/toc/2023/03/) print edition with the headline โ€œThe Short Kings.โ€ When you buy a book using a link on this page, we receive a commission.

Most women I know declare it their favorite decade, when they finally started to feel like themselves. I wanted to embrace this attitude โ€” itโ€™s going to happen either way; might as well welcome it. But thereโ€™s a kind of [perverse duality](https://www.thecut.com/2020/09/are-you-aging-correctly.html) at play with [aging](https://www.thecut.com/2020/11/turns-out-its-pretty-good-aging.html), especially [as a woman](https://www.thecut.com/2022/11/menopause-celebrity-business-stacy-london-naomi-watts-judy-greer.html), that encourages us to be both joyful at the inevitable (โ€œ40 is the new 30!โ€) and yet fearful of the same (โ€œHereโ€™s 10 Ways to Never Look Your Age After 40!โ€). And our obsession with [getting older](https://www.thecut.com/2022/11/julia-fox-embraces-aging-tiktok.html) is so focused on the physical, on how it looks, that we donโ€™t end up prepared for what it *feels* like to truly contend with middle age in an honest and empathetic way. + +A few months before my [40th birthday](https://www.thecut.com/2021/09/beyonc-really-loves-being-40.html), my Instagram โ€œExploreโ€ page was taken over by โ€œmakeup tips for older women.โ€ At first, I scrolled past these posts and Reels without a second thought; I donโ€™t even wear makeup. But eventually curiosity and insecurity got the best of me, and I started watching for clues about how to โ€”ย I donโ€™t even know โ€”ย look younger? Look less old? One insisted I apply blush at the top of my cheeks so they would look less droopy. Another said I shouldnโ€™t line my lips all the way to the edge, and even though I donโ€™t own a lip liner, I watched a few times just to make sure I understood exactly what *not* to do in case I ever bought one. Other Reels extolled the power of retinol and sold me on jelly and milky skin. What exactly was I gleaning from these videos that Iโ€™d suddenly started consuming voraciously? It became impossible to ignore that most things in my corner of the internet wanted me to feel, if not bad about my age, then at least wary of looking it: shouting offers for Botox and filler, begging me to click on photos of actresses who (shocker, crowed the headlines) [still look good at 35!](https://twitter.com/DailyLoud/status/1600245527542919168?s=20&t=owgvmuI1q4T_KySxteeLsQ) *Oh shit*, I thought. *Was it already too late for me?* + +Of course, itโ€™s not a new idea to venerate youthfulness, but social media has flattened our experience of time so that our cultural understanding of age has collapsed in on itself. โ€œ[Instagram face](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/decade-in-review/the-age-of-instagram-face)โ€ had already urged us to be smooth, snatched, free of any telltale lines or suggestions of feeling, to remain trapped in amber at 25 or 35. And then the pandemic pushed us over the edge. With Facebook increasingly seen as a โ€œdigital retirement homeโ€ and Instagram little more than a virtual shopping mall, we went flocking to TikTok in search of human connection. And even though [26 percent](https://wallaroomedia.com/blog/social-media/tiktok-statistics/#:~:text=80%25%20are%20between%20the%20ages,the%20largest%20generation%20of%20all.) of the appโ€™s users are now between 25 and 44, the majority of the โ€œtrendsโ€ on TikTok, which often make their way IRL, are created by teens and young 20-somethings. COVID-19 hastened our dependence on social media to act as a divining rod, to tell us how we should look and act and dance, and suddenly all culture became youth culture. + +Even the tech bros who created this landscape are desperate to hack it, [pouring millions](https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/feb/17/if-they-could-turn-back-time-how-tech-billionaires-are-trying-to-reverse-the-ageing-process) into [anti-aging technologies](https://www.pharmaceutical-technology.com/features/billionaires-anti-ageing-research/), drowning themselves in seeds and supplements to shave a year or three off their age. They donโ€™t want to live forever; they want to be young for as long as they possibly can. Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg understand how much of their power lies in their ability to present themselves as perpetually youthful, if not young. Theyโ€™ve helped create a system that idolizes youth, and now theyโ€™re trying to outrun it. + +But what you canโ€™t outrun โ€” what we donโ€™t talk about enough โ€”ย is what it means to really age, how time reshapes us. No amount of Botox, cryo baths, or epigenetic age-reversing can stop that heartbreaking moment when you have to decide how to care for an elderly parent, racking your brain to negotiate the puzzle pieces of working, parenting your little kids, and bringing your dad to his now-frequent doctorsโ€™ appointments. Friends you havenโ€™t seen in a while will pop up on Instagram announcing a cancer diagnosis, an occurrence that feels all of a sudden more regular than not. Youโ€™re counseling another friend through a divorce, pinch-hitting as child care now that sheโ€™s suddenly, at 38, on her own with three kids. Your career is stalling, and it feels too soon to give up and too late to start again. Itโ€™s real, itโ€™s hard, itโ€™s beautiful, and itโ€™s happening so fast you canโ€™t even remember how you ended up here in the first place. Werenโ€™t you just 30 a minute ago? Before she died last year, my mother-in-law confided in me that she still felt 35 in her mind, that her insides didnโ€™t match her outside, and how much she hated the disparity. You can fill all the creases in your face, erase every wrinkle, and still not escape that looming mismatch. How you look canโ€™t change whatโ€™s coming for you. + +I recently tweeted about wanting to go back to school at 40, assuming it was a silly thought, that the time to take on something new had passed. My replies were full of stories of friends and family who had done exactly that or taken on an entirely new career in their 40s and 50s. We rarely talk about the possibilities, experiences, and value of middle age, instead focusing on how to avoid looking like it or on the hopeful exploits of the young scratching at our heels. I donโ€™t want glossy affirmations about how I can still look good at 40; I want to know how to navigate a career change without spending another decade in school while caring for school-age kids and still paying my steadily mounting bills. I want to have conversations that contend with the loneliness that sometimes comes with this stage of life and how to make friends when youโ€™re starting over. I want someone to admit out loud how much of our culture and society is geared toward the pursuit and presentation of youth and how that maybe kinda sorta fucks with your head a little the older you get. + +I was laughing with some friends at my 40th birthday party about how the fuck we got so old, about the occasional (and embarrassing) discomfort we sometimes feel revealing our age to very young co-workers. How did that become us, when so recently we were the eye-rolling newbies? It felt refreshing, honestly, a relief from having to always pretend that this was easy, that entering this decade is a mental breeze. It also felt great to be standing and joking with people Iโ€™ve known for decades now, friends whom Iโ€™ve seen through big life changes and who have seen and held me through the same. + +Aging is a privilege, a measure of fullness, a gift of time, even when it takes as much as it gives. Yet we focus our conversations about this inevitable process entirely on the physical. If we made more space for people to age in a generous way, free of the external pressures to wear the right jeans or part our hair in the most youthful way, how much more pleasurable could it be? + +Weโ€™re Getting Midlife All Wrong + +  +  + +--- +`$= dv.el('center', 'Source: ' + dv.current().Link + ', ' + dv.current().Date.toLocaleString("fr-FR"))` \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/00.03 News/What Does Sustainable Living Look Like Maybe Like Uruguay.md b/00.03 News/What Does Sustainable Living Look Like Maybe Like Uruguay.md index 6fc4cf26..a68f6210 100644 --- a/00.03 News/What Does Sustainable Living Look Like Maybe Like Uruguay.md +++ b/00.03 News/What Does Sustainable Living Look Like Maybe Like Uruguay.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- -Tag: ["Society", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡พ", "๐ŸŒฑ", "โ™ป๏ธ", "โšก๏ธ"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿคต๐Ÿป", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡พ", "๐ŸŒฑ", "โ™ป๏ธ", "โšก๏ธ"] Date: 2022-10-09 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/What George Santos Was Really Like as a Roommate.md b/00.03 News/What George Santos Was Really Like as a Roommate.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..70410021 --- /dev/null +++ b/00.03 News/What George Santos Was Really Like as a Roommate.md @@ -0,0 +1,95 @@ +--- + +Tag: ["๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ", "๐Ÿ˜", "๐Ÿ—ฝ"] +Date: 2023-01-26 +DocType: "WebClipping" +Hierarchy: +TimeStamp: 2023-01-26 +Link: https://www.curbed.com/2023/01/george-santos-roommate-nightmare.html?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=One%20Great%20Story%20-%20January%2025%2C%202023&utm_term=Subscription%20List%20-%20One%20Great%20Story +location: +CollapseMetaTable: true + +--- + +Parent:: [[@News|News]] +Read:: [[2023-01-27]] + +--- + +  + +```button +name Save +type command +action Save current file +id Save +``` +^button-WhatGeorgeSantosWasLikeasaRoommateNSave + +  + +# What George Santos Was Really Like as a Roommate + +By , features writer at Curbedย  who reports on housing in New York City.

Everyone has a horror story, often a few of them.

This is the turn of events in which Yasser Rabello, a pharmacist living in Florida, finds himself after living for a few months in 2013 and 2014 with George Santos (who went by Anthony Devolder at the time) โ€” as well as Santosโ€™s sister, Tiffany, and mom, Fatima โ€” in a Queens two-bedroom. During his stay, he would lose an Armani shirt and an Ikea dresser. Now heโ€™s glad it wasnโ€™t more. + +Rabello and I chatted about that strange period in his life and the version of George Santos he knew as a very bizarre roommate. Reps for George Santos did not reply to Curbedโ€™s request for comment. + +*Our conversation has been condensed and edited.* + +**How did you meet?**ย  + +I met Anthony in the movie theater in the mall in 2013 โ€” we were seeing *Beautiful Creatures*, about witches. I was new in town, and I heard him talking in Portuguese. We clicked and exchanged numbers.ย We became friends.ย We went to the beach and out on Halloween. I moved into his apartment with his mother and his sister in December of that year. + +**What was the living situation?** + +The rent was $500, and I paid a security deposit before I saw it. It was only a two-bedroom and one bathroom, but they promised to make a partition in the living room that could become my bedroom because the living room was huge. But when I got there, they said they couldnโ€™t do the partition,ย that they had bought the materials but it was impossible, so they had lost money, blah, blah, blah. But there were no signs at all that theyโ€™d attempted to do the work โ€” no marks on the walls from pencils, no dust or anything like that. They ultimately gave me Anthonyโ€™s bedroom, and Anthony slept in the living room. There wasnโ€™t even a sheet on the couch; he slept on it with no cover. + +**So he was always in the common space. What did he do all day?** + +He was home all day on his computer, just browsing the web, probably chatting with people. He said he was a reporter at *Globo* in Brazil. + +**Which was a** [**lie**](https://www.cjr.org/the_media_today/george_santos_brazil_coverage_bolsonaro_brasilia.php)**, it seems.**ย  + +Then he told me he was a model and that he worked at New York Fashion Week and that he met all the Victoriaโ€™s Secret models and would be in *Vogue* magazine. + +**Someone else eventually moved in, right?** + +It was only the four of us in the beginning. And then Greg moved in January, sleeping on a mattress in the living room. They didnโ€™t even tell me. + +**Really?**ย ย  + +It was a crowded situation. They had a lot of people visiting all the time โ€”ย friends, family members โ€”ย and only the one bathroom to share. It was always loud. Then Anthonyโ€™s boyfriend moved in, too, and stayed on another mattress. + +**Thatโ€™s a lot of surprise roommates. How did everyone generally get along?**ย  + +I was working a catering job, and it was really busy, so I barely stayed there. They cooked, and sometimes they would offer me some, but eventually they said the groceries were getting expensive and I couldnโ€™t eat with them. So I was like, *Okay, Iโ€™m not gonna eat here anymore*. Even the water โ€” they started putting cases of water inside his motherโ€™s bedroom. + +**Wait, they hid water bottles in her bedroom so you couldnโ€™t have any? Did they hide anything else?** + +You mean aside from food? + +**This all sounds like a lot. What was the final straw that made you move out?** + +None of them carried their own keys, which is stupid. I donโ€™t know who does that. So I wake up one day with my phone next to me ringing. They were yelling at me to let them in. They had been ringing the buzzer for the intercom, but it was broken, so I didnโ€™t hear it. I let them in, and Fatima starts shouting in Portuguese for me to get out of her apartment. So I stopped staying there. But I had one more month on my lease, so I kept going in day by day to get my stuff. + +**How did that go?**ย  + +I arranged with my friend who has a driverโ€™s license to rent a truck so we could get my Ikea dresser.

His mother said, โ€œYouโ€™re not gonna take my dresser.โ€ I was like, โ€œExcuse me, how come this is yours? Did you buy it? Do you have the receipt? The neighbors were coming to their doors because of the disturbance. It wasnโ€™t that expensive, so I let it go.

When police arrived at Carl Andre and Ana Mendietaโ€™s apartment on the 34th floor of a Greenwich Village high-rise, Andre told them, โ€œI think she jumped. I just know.โ€ A few hours later, when he made a statement at the precinct, he said Mendieta either jumped or fell: Theyโ€™d been watching a movie at around 3 a.m. She went to bed first. When he followed half an hour later, she was gone and the bedroomโ€™s sliding-glass windows were open. Decades later, in an [interview with the *New Yorker*](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2011/12/05/the-materialist), Andre remembered the night this way: He said that he was half-awakened by a womanโ€™s voice yelling โ€œNo, no, no!โ€ The temperature had dropped in the small hours, he said, and his hunch was that his wife, Mendieta โ€” who was only four-foot-ten โ€” had climbed up to close the high windows, lost her balance, and plummeted to her death. + +After a two-and-a-half-year investigation, Andre was charged with Mendietaโ€™s murder. By early 1988, he had been acquitted. The trial drove battle lines through the New York art world, and stories about Mendietaโ€™s death tended to emphasize the star-crossed nature of the union: Mendieta was a 36-year-old charismatic Cuban exile. Less famous than her husband at the time, sheโ€™s now remembered through documentation of her visceral, site-specific performances using mud, flowers, feathers, fire, and blood. Andre, a New England Marxist 13 years her senior, was then a god of the avant-garde โ€” one of the first minimalist sculptors to work with industrial materials like bricks and tiles and, as a onetime leader of the labor-organizing Art Workersโ€™ Coalition, a rare militant among the blue-chip set. Both were drinkers. Andreโ€™s defenders said he wouldnโ€™t have been capable of killing his wife, while Mendietaโ€™s said she wouldnโ€™t have jumped: Not only was she terrified of heights, she was starving for art-world fame and felt she was *this close* to attaining it. One onlooker at Mendietaโ€™s memorial described the event as being like a wedding from hell, with attendees divided into families who avoided eye contact. + +Carl Andre in court, 1988. Photo: Monica Almeida/NY Daily News Archive via Getty Images + +Whether she would have liked it or not, Mendietaโ€™s death made some people see her as a martyr. And though he was not found guilty of causing it, it made Andre a pariah, at least in some circles. When a traveling retrospective of his work opened at L.A.โ€™s Museum of Contemporary Art in 2017, protesters came to hand out postcards that read, [โ€œCarl Andre is at MoCA Geffen.ย *ยฟDรณnde estรก Ana Mendieta?*โ€](https://hyperallergic.com/372600/protesters-honor-ana-mendieta-at-la-opening-of-carl-andre-retrospective/) โ€” where is Ana Mendieta? + +At the time, the art historian Helen Molesworth was MoCAโ€™s chief curator. Now sheโ€™s the host of [*Death of an Artist*](https://www.vulture.com/2022/10/art-world-scandal-podcasts.html), a podcast about the Mendieta-Andre story by Pushkin Industries and the Sony studio Somethinโ€™ Else. The show doesnโ€™t draw conclusions about what happened that night at 300 Mercer Street, #34E. Instead, it lays out the puzzle pieces of Mendietaโ€™s death for listeners to assemble, weighing the scenarios that could have led to that moment. The podcastโ€™s most novel element is its analysis of what came after Mendieta died: the war of ideas waged by lawyers, artists, journalists, critics, and activists that turned her from flesh and blood into the loaded symbol she is today. + +Few people have had a better birdโ€™s-eye view of this conflict than Molesworth. When I asked her what it felt like to be at MoCA during the Andre protests โ€” to be seen as a defender of the status quo โ€” she paused, then said, โ€œI wish Iโ€™d been braver.โ€ The curator didnโ€™t respond to the protests publicly at the time; the next year, she was fired from the museum. (She signed an NDA on her way out, but sources close to the museum told [Artnet](https://news.artnet.com/art-world/moca-helen-molesworth-tension-1246358) that Molesworth and other colleagues objected to the show behind closed doors. The artist Catherine Opie, who is also a MoCA board member, said that the museum director told her they had fired Molesworth in part for [โ€œundermining the museumโ€](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/la-et-cm-moca-fires-molesworth-vergne-20180313-story.html) โ€” a decision Opie disagreed with.) + +When Molesworth took on the assignment of hosting the podcast, she waded into the controversy directly. โ€œI assumed enough time had passed, and that I was trusted enough that people would talk,โ€ she said. โ€œWrong.โ€ According to her, Mendietaโ€™s family members have a no-comment policy when it comes to projects that focus on the artistโ€™s death. (Mendietaโ€™s niece, Raquel Ceciliaย Mendieta, told Vulture that Mendieta โ€œfelt the work should speak for itself, and this has been my beacon when it comes to decisions on whether or not to participate in conversations about her and her work.โ€) Andreโ€™s approach has been to say as little about the incident as possible. Molesworth and her producer, Maria Luisa Tucker, attempted to get in touch with him anyway, without success โ€” they even waited in the lobby of his apartment building and passed a note to his doorman. (I also contacted Andre for comment and received no reply.) Failing that, they reached out to people close to him, such as his influential longtime dealer, [Paula Cooper](https://nymag.com/news/articles/reasonstoloveny/2012/paula-cooper/); she didnโ€™t want to talk either. Most of the people who appear on the podcast โ€” including Mendietaโ€™s best friend, Natalia Delgado โ€” believe that Andre killed Mendieta. As the reporter Joyce Wadler, who [covered the case for *New York*](https://books.google.com/books?id=8skBAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA40&dq=Ana%20Mendieta&pg=PA38#v=onepage&q=whisper&f=false), told me, โ€œIn crime stories, the family of the victim is eager to talk. The family of the accused tries to push you off the porch.โ€ + +In order to reconstruct the New York art world of the 1970s and โ€™80s, Molesworth and Tucker worked with archival interviews as well as new ones, plus clips from Mendietaโ€™s letters read by the Cuban artist Tania Bruguera. The tapes from the trial were sealed in 1988, under a law that protects defendants who are acquitted of crimes. Luckily, the journalist Robert Katz, who [published a book about the trial in 1990](https://www.nytimes.com/1990/06/10/books/a-death-in-the-art-world.html) and died in 2010, had copied the tapes while they were still accessible and left his archive of notes and recordings with a library in Tuscany. + +An excerpt from Joyce Wadlerโ€™s 1985ย *New York*ย story about Carl Andreโ€™s trial, including a photo of Mendieta taken in Manhattan when she was a rising star in the art world. Photo: Cynthia Larson + +Even before the trial, Andreโ€™s supporters, at nightclubs and cocktail parties, began to gossip about Mendieta. In her [1985 *New York* story](https://books.google.com/books?id=8skBAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA40&dq=Ana%20Mendieta&pg=PA38#v=onepage&q=whisper&f=false), Wadler quoted an unnamed woman in the art world who said there was a โ€œwhisper campaignโ€ coordinated by art-world illuminati to make Mendieta seem like a โ€œloony Cuban.โ€ On Molesworthโ€™s podcast, former *Village Voice* critic B. Ruby Rich โ€” Mendietaโ€™s friend and one of Andreโ€™s most outspoken accusers โ€” discusses how Mendieta was framed at the time. โ€œIt was totally blame the victim, but with an extra twist,โ€ she says. โ€œIt was completely racist. It was constructing this idea of the hot-blooded Latina who drank and misbehaved and quote-unquote went out a window.โ€ One unnamed source in Katzโ€™s book, identified as a friend of Andreโ€™s, said the artistโ€™s accusers were a โ€œfeminist cabalโ€ blinded by their vindictive resentment toward men. Artists like Frank Stella were among those who put up money for bail. + +One of the most shocking takeaways from the podcast is that lawyers and art critics alike used Mendietaโ€™s work against her. Mendieta pioneered a genre of her own called body-earth art and is often remembered for her โ€œ*Silueta*โ€ (Silhouette) series: photographs and films depicting life-size angel shapes that she dug, carved, or burned into nature. For one [untitled photo from 1976](https://museemagazine.com/features/2017/11/20/w413qtz3xpqjl0lc2yzm1aar30395l), she inscribed one of these silhouettes โ€” a seemingly ancient symbol, like a Mesopotamian goddess โ€” on the shoreline of a Mexican beach, then filled it with magnificent red paint and let the tide wash it away; for [another, from 1973](https://sites.google.com/site/womeninperformancefall2011/ana-mendieta), she lay prone on a rooftop covered in a blood-spattered sheet, with a cow heart sitting on her chest. Mendieta herself said that, with these works, she hoped to visualize the hidden continuities between our bodies and the natural world: โ€œThese obsessive acts of re-asserting my ties with the earth are really a manifestation of my thirst for being.โ€ + +Installation works by Mendieta in Rome, 1984. Photo: ยฉ 2022 The Estate of Ana Mendieta Collection, LLC. Courtesy Galerie Lelong & Co. / Licensed by Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York + +However, during the trial, Andreโ€™s defense lawyer, Jack Hoffinger, called witnesses to the stand โ€” including hotshot critics and curators โ€” to testify that Mendietaโ€™s art practice indicated a ritualistic death wish. Some of Hoffingerโ€™s questions focused on her interest in Afro-Cuban Santeria. Mendieta had named one of her *Siluetas* after the deity Yemayรก, and Hoffinger solicited one friend of the artistโ€™s to explain its significance. When the friend said that Yemayรก was known for taking flight, Hoffinger asked when Yemayรก took flight. September 7, the witness said โ€” the day before Mendietaโ€™s death. Never mind that this testimony was flat-out wrong, as Molesworth points out in the podcast: Yemayรก is a water spirit and a protector of women, with no relationship to flying or flight. It was enough to suggest that Mendieta had a dark side. โ€œItโ€™s as if the art critic were some two-bit dime-store psychologist,โ€ Molesworth told me. + +While Mendietaโ€™s work is often mentioned in the same breath as her tragic end, her art has also continued to speak for itself. It has enjoyed numerous revivals over the past two decades, including survey shows at the [Chicago Institute of Art](https://hyperallergic.com/43697/ana-mendieta-art-institute-of-chicago/) and [the Hirschhorn in D.C](https://hirshhorn.si.edu/exhibitions/ana-mendieta-earth-body-sculpture-and-performance-1972-1985/). She was one of the main attractions at the blockbuster show [*Radical Women: Latin American Art, 1960โ€“1985*](https://www.thecut.com/2018/04/radical-women-latin-american-art-brooklyn-museum.html), which made it to the Brooklyn Museum in 2018. In the years before she died, the New York art world was dominated by two gangs: minimalists like her husband, with their experiments in the metaphysics of form, and Pop artists like [Andy Warhol](https://www.vulture.com/2018/11/andy-warhol-whitney-retrospective.html), with their cynical ideas about the commodity fetish. Mendieta, meanwhile, was making art about the interconnectedness of things, the restoration of our place in the cosmos, and the embodied experience of womanhood. She showed it was possible to engage spiritual or ancestral knowledge and high-art intellectualism without seeming unserious, and her work continues to resonate with those who feel excluded from certain strains of Western rationalism. + +โ€œIf you believe in Mother Nature,โ€ Molesworth said, โ€œif you believe in Mother Earth โ€” no matter what your religious or spiritual affiliations are โ€” if you have that kind of sense that nature is a fecund, gorgeous giver of life, then Mendietaโ€™s work has some answers in it for us.โ€ + +She is far from the first to point this out. The podcast follows years of scholarship by and inspiration from other art historians โ€” including Genevieve Hyacintheโ€™s 2019 book, [*Radical Virtuosity: Ana Mendieta and the Black Atlantic*.](https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262042703/radical-virtuosity/) Hyacinthe describes Mendietaโ€™s work as a much-needed intervention into the Land Art movement, which is dominated by men who terraformed landscapes: โ€œShe was able to establish the awesomeness and the sublimity of monumental land works like Robert Smithsonโ€™s *Spiral Jetty* on a small and intimate scale.โ€ + +When Hyacinthe was working on her book, she felt that in order to understand it, she had to re-create it. So she and her assistant flew from New York to Mexico City, caught a connecting flight to Oaxaca, then drove a rental car to an archaeological site called Yagul. This 2,500-year-old settlement, home to now-empty ceremonial tombs, is where Mendieta created her first *Silueta*, [*Imagen de Yagul*](https://www.sfmoma.org/artwork/93.220/) (Image of Yagul), in 1973: The photograph depicts the artist lying naked in a tomb, covered by bushels of tiny, white babyโ€™s-breath flowers. When Hyacinthe and her assistant arrived, they asked the groundskeepers if they happened to know the spot where Mendieta took the photo. One worker remembered that other visitors had also come asking questions about a woman artist who had died โ€” and when the attendants walked away, a nervous Hyacinthe quickly undressed and lay down in a tomb under a blanket of flowers. + +Ana Mendieta, *Tree of Life*, 1976. Photo: ยฉ 2022 The Estate of Ana Mendieta Collection, LLC. Courtesy Galerie Lelong & Co. / Licensed by Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York + +*So this is what Mendieta must have felt,* she thought: the cold, damp ground, the irksomeness of bugs crawling around her, the struggle to hold her pose so that it matched what was in her mindโ€™s eye. โ€œI actually wanted it to be done very quickly,โ€ Hyacinthe told me. If Mendieta was feeling any of those things, it doesnโ€™t come across in the resulting photo. Its peaceful tenor suggests not death but the healing restoration of some long-lost life force. + +Mendietaโ€™s sustained popularity could be attributed as much to the profound yet approachable messages in her work as to its visual beauty. But itโ€™s also easy to project on her the roles one may want her to take: an empowered Latina, a spiritual healer, a tragic victim of the patriarchy. โ€œThe biggest push-pull was how to tell the story respectfully,โ€ said Molesworth, โ€œhow not to fall into either the angry or defensive postures, not to prejudge while still knowing one thought, and how to avoid treating the story like a spectacle. Even though, of course, it is a spectacular story.โ€ + +What Happened to Ana Mendieta + +  +  + +--- +`$= dv.el('center', 'Source: ' + dv.current().Link + ', ' + dv.current().Date.toLocaleString("fr-FR"))` \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/00.03 News/What Happened to Maya.md b/00.03 News/What Happened to Maya.md index eb6f9534..67a9cf31 100644 --- a/00.03 News/What Happened to Maya.md +++ b/00.03 News/What Happened to Maya.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- -Tag: ["Society", "๐Ÿšซ", "๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿป"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿคต๐Ÿป", "๐Ÿšซ", "๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿป"] Date: 2022-10-24 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/What Is the Metaverse A Beginner's Guide to Tech's Latest Obsession.md b/00.03 News/What Is the Metaverse A Beginner's Guide to Tech's Latest Obsession.md index 5254296b..d2763303 100644 --- a/00.03 News/What Is the Metaverse A Beginner's Guide to Tech's Latest Obsession.md +++ b/00.03 News/What Is the Metaverse A Beginner's Guide to Tech's Latest Obsession.md @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ --- Alias: [""] -Tag: ["Tech", "Metaverse", "๐ŸŒ"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿ“Ÿ", "Metaverse", "๐ŸŒ"] Date: 2022-02-17 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: @@ -156,9 +156,9 @@ This is all another way of saying the internet is spilling out of our phones and So, the metaverse wonโ€™t just be random cartoon game worlds built by developers.

It was rainy and quiet, and his life was uncharacteristically lacking in drama. Irving had won an epic standoff with the [Brooklyn Nets](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/01/after-all-that-the-nets-are-great-again.html) and the mayor of New York over his refusal to get vaccinated for COVID-19. His teammate and fellow oddball superstar [Kevin Durant](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/02/kevin-durant-traded-from-brooklyn-nets-to-phoenix-suns.html) had withdrawn a recent trade request to stick by his side. Nike was preparing to release the ninth edition of his best-selling sneaker. On his Xbox, Irving fired up *NBA 2K23* and activated a geeky, khaki-clad, one-inch-taller avatar of himself. He also began to livestream on Twitch, monologuing dreamily for three hours and 40 minutes to an audience of a few thousand total strangers. + +9/11: a notable date for suspicious thinkers in general and an emotional one for Irving in particular. In 2001, when the first plane hit, his father, Drederick Irving, a financier and former basketball player, was on an escalator beneath the World Trade Center and had to fight his way through a jam at the revolving doors to escape. At school in New Jersey, 9-year-old Kyrie, whoโ€™d already lost his mother, spent hours not knowing if he had become an orphan. โ€œYour life is worth living,โ€ he told his Twitch audience, advising those struggling with loss to seek help. He addressed the crowd repeatedly as a โ€œtribeโ€ and a โ€œfamily,โ€ thanking them for providing a โ€œsafe space for me to speakโ€ on their shared โ€œjourney.โ€ + +While he promised not to give up his day job as a point guard โ€” eight-time All-Star; arguably the most skilled ball handler and finisher ever to play basketball; launcher of maybe the biggest shot in NBA history โ€” Irving indulged the possibility of a new career playing video games professionally, in which he could commune in quietude with his digital followers. He had mused before about buying a rural 200-acre plot where he could live and farm with friends and family, where everything they needed would be obtainable from a โ€œwooden store.โ€ (โ€œAre you familiar with the Jonestown Massacre?โ€ a teammate asked him.) This gamer society sounded something like that society, except it would exist on the internet, where increasingly Kyrie Irving seemed to live. + +## on the cover + +### โ€” + +During postgame press conferences, Irving often comes off as curt, defensive, and bored, as if to make himself even less scrutable to what he calls the โ€œpawnsโ€ in the media. But on Twitch, where Irving could ask big questions, rather than answer annoying ones, he was loose: doing voices, humming, giggling. One NBA source, who knows him from Irvingโ€™s unhappy two years as a Boston Celtic, described his general demeanor to me as โ€œlost in the canyons of his own mind.โ€ Well, here he was, leading us around the dark parts of the map. + +Irving talked about astrology, burning sage, bodily autonomy, holistic health, being โ€œsocially awkward for mad long,โ€ and his faith. This he described as โ€œomnist,โ€ drawing on Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. โ€œIโ€™m genreless,โ€ he said. โ€œI donโ€™t mind being in this position as one of the liberators and one of the consciousness shifters. And I donโ€™t say it as if Iโ€™m this guru with all the answers and you can come to me for everything. I just know the world is shifting.โ€ + +He moved on to heavier subjects, like the subjugation of Indigenous and African American people. โ€œWhen you hear about genocide and you hear about people getting murdered for lands, thatโ€™s what happened in my family,โ€ he said. โ€œI had to go through some transformational changes to forgive the people that murdered my ancestors.โ€ Irvingโ€™s alienation from the mainstream was evident and also indiscriminate. โ€œWhatโ€™s going on now in our world is blatant. Whatโ€™s going on now in Jackson, Mississippi โ€” a lot of stuff is blatant.โ€ He was referring to news of the cityโ€™s tainted water supply. โ€œTheyโ€™re not hiding it anymore,โ€ he continued. โ€œMovies that praise all these demonic forces. And video games. And all these symbols.โ€ + +Deep into the livestream, Irving took a call from his wife, Marlene Wilkerson, a YouTuber who posts about health and spirituality. She was pregnant with their second son, whom they would name Elohim. Irving joked that he couldnโ€™t be disturbed. โ€œWhen *2K* comes out, Iโ€™m on the journey with the fellas,โ€ he told her. + +โ€œWhoโ€™s on the chat?โ€ Wilkerson asked. + +โ€œNah, itโ€™s just Twitch chat,โ€ Irving said a little sheepishly, as if heโ€™d been caught talking to an imaginary friend. She mumbled something about maybe spending โ€œless than two hours on the virtual realityโ€ and hung up. + +Kyrie switched from *NBA 2K23* to *Call of Duty: Black Ops,* and as he picked off Nazi zombie hounds, he told his viewers to put an infinity sign in the chat to connect with one another. โ€œIโ€™m built to lead a tribe,โ€ he said. โ€œYes, Iโ€™m going to be one of the greatest basketball players ever to do it. Thatโ€™s cemented. But Iโ€™m also going to be remembered as having a great community โ€ฆ Iโ€™m going to impact way more people when Iโ€™m done playing basketball than I will playing it.โ€ Less than five months later, Irving would immolate the Nets. + +**From left:** 2007: At his first high school โ€ฆ Photo: Steve Tober/Sideline Chatter2009: โ€ฆ And his second.

Photo: Steve Boyle + +**The crisis began** in late October, when Irving tweeted a link to a documentary titled *Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America.* The 2018 film puts forward the belief system of a group called the Hebrew Israelites, who claim that Africans and other people of color were the real chosen people of the Old Testament and that their identities have been appropriated by modern-day Jews. It includes some Holocaust denial and quotations from the likes of Adolf Hitler and Henry Ford, a few of them fabricated. Facing intense criticism, Irving distanced himself from the filmโ€™s โ€œunfortunate falsehoodsโ€ but balked at denouncing it unequivocally. [The Nets suspended him](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/11/kyrie-irving-was-finally-suspended-whats-next.html), and Nike dropped him. + +As with his vaccine holdout, during which he missed nearly half a season, Irving had inflamed a wider debate about the bounds of acceptable behavior in pro sports; about whether public figures should be reprimanded for platforming fringe ideas; about whether, on a galactic scale, RTs = Endorsement. Celtics star Jaylen Brown called his suspension โ€œuncharted territory,โ€ marveling that no distinction was being made โ€œbetween what somebody says versus what somebody posts.โ€ + +Irving eventually apologized and returned to the bleak gray-on-gray of the Barclays Center hardwood in late November. The Nets beat the Grizzlies that night and continued to pulverize their opponents, winning 12 in a row at one point to vault into the leagueโ€™s elite ranks. But signs of his discontent were visible, as he started blacking out the Swooshes on his sneakers and scrawling on messages like I AM FREE THANK YOU GOD โ€ฆ I AM. Durant tweaked his knee โ€” the latest in an endless series of injuries that had kept the teamโ€™s stars from playing together much โ€” and the Nets began to founder. Irvingโ€™s contract was set to expire at the end of the season, and the antisemitism furor gave the team further reason to doubt his stability. Management resisted offering him the fat four-year contract extension he wanted. Irving, insulted, demanded a trade. + +The news rocked the NBA. โ€œWell, what do you make of this disaster?โ€ said a longtime team executive when I called him. Another front-office figure texted that when it comes to Irving, โ€œitโ€™s never rational.โ€ Out of spite or self-interest or both, the Nets shipped Irving to the Dallas Mavericks instead of the destination he reportedly preferred, the Los Angeles Lakers. The New York tabloids said good riddance: YOU CAN MAV HIM, brayed the *Post.* + +Irving explained himself at his first press conference as a Maverick. โ€œI want to be places where Iโ€™m celebrated and not just tolerated,โ€ he said. A source close to Irving parsed the breakup in similarly emo terms, comparing the Nets to a friend who might use you to get ahead in their career, rather than a โ€œride or dieโ€ to whom โ€œyou can tell your deepest, darkest secrets.โ€ + +The Nets, cooked, immediately dealt Durant too, officially ending the superfriends era in Brooklyn and leaving fans as baffled as ever by one of the most talented and self-destructive athletes theyโ€™ve known. Irving was probably the Netsโ€™ most dazzling showman since Julius Erving half a century ago; he also played in just 143 of 270 regular-season games. In four seasons, he produced bottomless agita and a single playoff-series win. A year and a half ago, the *Times* announced the Nets in a headline as โ€œ(Possibly) the Greatest Basketball Team of All Timeโ€; this month, *The Wall Street Journal* was eulogizing them as โ€œbasketballโ€™s strangest, most desolateโ€ franchise. + +If Irving is a once-in-a-generation talent on the court, heโ€™s also deeply of his generation off it โ€” fed by algorithms, drawn to conspiracy, distrustful of a machine even as it makes him rich, more alienated than ever. Irving arrived in Brooklyn considered one of the most enigmatic figures in the NBA, with a mind so internet-pilled and recondite as to be unclassifiable. But he left as a familiar archetype: the loner, the dot-connecting freethinker, clicking around the internet. The kind of person who feels most comfortable when heโ€™s talking to strangers online. + +**From left:** 2011: With his father at the NBA draft. Photo: Jesse D.

Garrabrant/NBAE2014: *Protesting police brutality.* Photo: Tim Clayton /Sports Illustrated + +**Irvingโ€™s first years** in the NBA could hardly have gone better, and yet they led him to misery. Drafted No. 1 overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2011, he was Rookie of the Year; he signed with Pepsi and Nike; he dated a pop star and a beauty queen. โ€œI really mean this when I say it: Iโ€™ve never seen in person a more skilled player,โ€ says Daniel โ€œBoobyโ€ Gibson, who shared the backcourt with Irving. โ€œIโ€™ve guarded Kobe. Elbow, iso, post-up, fadeaway, switch-pivot โ€” Kobe got all of it. Kyrieโ€™s got that *and* the handle.โ€ Itโ€™s practically telekinetic. Irving doesnโ€™t so much keep the ball on a string as operate a magnet right above it โ€” the basketball equivalent of Lionel Messi snaking impossibly through packs of defenders. + +In the deciding game of the 2016 Finals, with the score tied and just over a minute left in the fourth quarter, Clevelandโ€™s coach drew up a play not for LeBron James but for Irving. Marked by the Warriorsโ€™ Steph Curry, he stutter-stepped, rose up, and drilled a three from the wing. Never so late in an elimination game had a shot so swung a teamโ€™s fortunes: According to statistical models, Irvingโ€™s basket increased the odds of his teamโ€™s winning the NBA title by a greater margin than any other in league history. + +Victory only opened up a void. โ€œIt was like climbing up one of the tallest mountains in the world, winning a championship,โ€ he said on a podcast years later. โ€œIt feels good, it feels great to add that to the career, but I felt empty. After I done traveled, after I done partied, after I done spent a bunch of money, after I done asked for more deals โ€” you know, we all been through it. So feeling on top of the mountain, after a while, I just felt like I didnโ€™t really know who I was.โ€ + +Irving has, by anyoneโ€™s standards, a complex origin story. His father grew up in the Mitchel Houses, a public-housing project in the Mott Haven neighborhood in the Bronx, and got a basketball scholarship to Boston University, where he became the all-time leading scorer. His mother, Elizabeth Larson, was part of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe. When she was a few weeks old, she was adopted by a white couple โ€” a Lutheran minister and his wife, a nurse, who raised her in a suburb of Tacoma, Washington. Larson gave birth to Kyrie in Australia, where Dred was playing professionally, but when the marriage broke up, she decided to live in Washington State while Dred took Kyrie and his sister, Asia, to New York. Working as a bond broker for Cantor Fitzgerald and Thomson Reuters, he raised the children in the New Jersey suburbs. + +When Kyrie was 4, Elizabeth died in a Tacoma hospital. Throughout his career, the cause of death has been reported as sepsis. But Irving said on his 9/11 Twitch stream that he had lost his mother, his โ€œnative queen,โ€ to โ€œdrugs in the streets.โ€ After the championship in Cleveland, Irving began to inquire about his motherโ€™s Indigenous roots. โ€œIt shook my world up,โ€ he once said. โ€œWhen you find your identity, youโ€™re not walking confused out here, trying to piece yourself together from other peoplesโ€™ knowledge of who you are.โ€ Irving began to voice support for the anti-pipeline protests at Standing Rock and traveled to South Dakota for a naming ceremony. He was granted the name Hรฉlร  โ€” โ€œLittle Mountainโ€ in Lakota โ€” which he still uses to sign his posts on social media. That awakening seemed to bleed into an all-purpose distrust of the Establishment. + +In early 2017, Irvingโ€™s teammates Channing Frye and Richard Jefferson created *Road Trippinโ€™,* a podcast theyโ€™d record while flying on the team plane. Irving regularly joined in, providing the wider world with an unfiltered window into his free-associative mind. He riffed on the possibility of a faked moon landing and noted that JFKโ€™s murder took place just days after he tried to โ€œend the bank cartel.โ€ He recommended a book by the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, who would gain notoriety as an alleged cult leader via the Netflix documentary *Wild Wild Country.* Most famously, he posited that the Earth might be flat. Irving was 24 and sounded exactly like the person he probably was: staying up too late, riding the YouTube algorithm. โ€œDid you ever grow up with a guy in high school who smoked a ton of weed, who is constantly *thinking about shit* all the time?โ€ says one NBA agent. That was Irving. + +Just months into the Trump years, Irving was advocating for the merits of extremely open-ended inquiry at the exact moment the countryโ€™s mainstream institutions began to question the wisdom of doing so. In one podcast episode, Jefferson and Frye began debating the Illuminati. Another host, the sideline reporter Allie Clifton, tried to change the subject, but Irving stopped her. โ€œItโ€™s okay, this feeling youโ€™re getting in your stomach,โ€ he said. + +Irving was spending his time with a pretty small circle. He lived in a Cleveland high-rise with his best friend and all-purpose business manager, a high-school classmate with the portentous name of Alex Jones, and didnโ€™t have many friends in the locker room. In March 2017, the Cavaliers got rid of a role player named Jordan McRae, whom Irving described as โ€œone of the few people I hung out with.โ€ Talking to Jefferson and Frye, he described a dream he had upon hearing the news: McRae entered his hotel room to say good-bye, but Irving couldnโ€™t wake up to tell him he loved him. + +Irving wanted out. The Cavs were Jamesโ€™s team, and Irving itched to lead one of his own. In 2017, he requested a trade and landed in Boston, the city where his parents had met. In Irvingโ€™s first year, the Celtics got off to a scorching 16-2 start, but he missed the end of the season and the playoffs with an injury. Not long after, his maternal grandfather died. Irving later said that it spun him into depression and โ€œsome of the worst mental-health issues of my life.โ€ + +Jones had moved to Boston to live with him, and there was concern that the two were spending the dark Massachusetts winters isolated at home, bingeing YouTube. Someone who knew Irving at the time brought up the flat-Earth theory with him and Jones. โ€œAlex is like, โ€˜I donโ€™t know, man. We donโ€™t know the Earth is round. Kyrie and I have been watching stuff,โ€™โ€ the source said. โ€œKyrie kept asking if we knew for sure that it was โ€˜constitutionallyโ€™ round.โ€ The conclusion: โ€œOh, shit. They really believe that.โ€ (To be fair to Irving, itโ€™s never been entirely clear he does. He once gave an onstage apology to โ€œall the science teachers โ€ฆ coming up to me like, โ€˜You know Iโ€™ve got to reteach my whole curriculum?!โ€™โ€) + +In February 2019, footage emerged of Irving chatting up Durant at the NBA All-Star game, and internet sleuths wondered if they were plotting to play together somewhere the following season. They were right. On the first day of free agency, both signed with Brooklyn, instantly transforming the Nets into a powerhouse. Irving had grown up a Nets fan in New Jersey and couched his decision to return home in nostalgic terms. Celtics fans were incensed; Irving had reneged on a public pledge to stay for the long haul. The move also recast his decision to leave Cleveland: Here was a potential killer of teams. + +But how could Brooklyn say โ€œnoโ€? Ever since LeBron James had assembled his championship squad in Miami, teams had embraced multi-superstar rosters, whatever the risks of divahood. Irving had essentially knocked on the door of the Barclays Center arm in arm with one of the NBAโ€™s other indescribable talents. Their promise was enough to persuade the Nets to sign yet another friend, the declining DeAndre Jordan. If the team could keep them happy, there was no limit to how much they could win. + +**From left:** 2019: As a Brooklyn Net. Photo: Bart Young/NBAE2022: His avatar on NBA 2K23.

Photo: Kai11xirving/Twitch + +**Irvingโ€™s first** season in Brooklyn saw the arrival of a pandemic and a racial-justice reckoning. Newly elected as a vice-president of the players union, he attempted to organize a boycott of the leagueโ€™s zero-COVID โ€œbubbleโ€ at Disney World to raise awareness about police killings. His colleagues shot it down. Irving was injured at the time, so he wouldnโ€™t be in Florida anyway; he also had more financial wherewithal than most to weather lost paychecks. โ€œItโ€™s easy to say that when youโ€™ve made what youโ€™ve made and youโ€™ve got the Nike money,โ€ his journeyman teammate Garrett Temple told Matt Sullivan, a journalist who was writing a book about that yearโ€™s Nets team. + +Irving defended his bubble-busting gambit, repeating Maya Angelouโ€™s quote that โ€œone person standing on the Word of God is the majority,โ€ and ramped up his activism. That summer, he co-produced a TV special on the death of Breonna Taylor, bought a home for the family of George Floyd, and pledged a seven-figure donation to supplement the lost income of WNBA players sitting out their own COVID bubble. Irving kept Forrest Gumpโ€“ing himself into political consciousness. In January 2021, on a night the rest of the Nets were playing the Nuggets, he showed up on a campaign Zoom for the progressive Manhattan DA candidate Tahanie Aboushi, appearing in a little window under Cynthia Nixon. + +Increasingly consumed with social justice, he was following a familiar arc of online polarization. A tweet from August 2012: โ€œThis is cool, I just did it, you should too. Donate $10 to @BarackObama, text GIVE to 62262.โ€ Nine years later: โ€œOnly a matter of time until all Natives Africans Asians completely stop producing and entertaining for Racist America and Racist Europe. Only a matter of time โ€ฆ God judges all of their evil actions.โ€ + +When he was on the court, Irving was thriving. Having painstakingly assembled a squad of scrappy, likable, team-first, analytically sound underdogs, general manager Sean Marks jettisoned them to land a third superstar to play alongside Irving and Durant, the cold-blooded scoring machine James Harden. It was a joyless move, and it worked really well. Up two games to none against the eventual champion Milwaukee Bucks in the 2021 playoffs, the Nets were an offensive juggernaut rolling to a title. But then Irving hurt his ankle, a potentially series-winning shot by Durant was ruled a two-pointer, not a three, and they were out. The season was over, and soon, so was the fantasy that Irvingโ€™s mercurial tendencies could be kept from derailing the team. + +That August, then-Mayor Bill de Blasio mandated that private-sector workers in the city be vaccinated against COVID. Irving refused to get the shot. He resisted unpacking his stance in public, though has said on livestreams that his position came from โ€œquestioning the Establishment.โ€ +He was barred from playing home games at Barclays. + +Depending on oneโ€™s perspective, he was either a martyr to bureaucratic absurdity (under the rules, unvaccinated athletes from visiting teams were free to play) or a knucklehead torpedoing his team. Under the controversy was a familiar cultural scaffolding: the Trump-to-pandemic-era flourishing of internet bullshit and the corresponding neurotic vigilance of those absorbed with rooting it out. For Irving, that tension fed on itself. He believed himself to be excavating and exposing hidden truths, and any effort by a corrupt elite to police his beliefs must have felt like validation. He was taking counsel from a shrinking pool of people: Heโ€™d recently fired his agent and hired his former stepmother, Shetellia Riley Irving, to represent him. + +Harden got so frustrated that he half-joked that he wanted to give Irving the injection himself. (He ended up asking for a trade.) But many other NBA players saw something to admire. The Warriorsโ€™ (vaccinated) Draymond Green praised Irving for โ€œstanding his ground.โ€ Doing so cost him about $11.4 million in uncollected pay. โ€œSo many players just love Kyrie as a player and love what he represents,โ€ says ESPNโ€™s Nets beat reporter Nick Friedell. โ€œHeโ€™s this rebel. Heโ€™s not going to conform.โ€ + +2021: Anti-vaxx protesters outside Barclays Center. Photo: Eren Abdullahogullari/Anadolu Agency + +**What, exactly,** is in Irvingโ€™s head? In late January, I got a call from Drederick Irving, who had become concerned by my efforts to find out. Retired from finance, he said, he dabbles in real estate but is largely occupied with overseeing aspects of his sonโ€™s career. The two are extremely close. Dred frequently sat courtside at Barclays, and Irving, when asked to name the best player heโ€™s faced, invariably names his father. + +Dred had heard that Iโ€™d emailed a Baltimore man named Anthony Browder, an author who runs an Afrocentric educational institute. He also gives tours about the supposed hidden influence of Egypt on the buildings of Washington, D.C. Kyrie Irving met up with Browder last year while in town to play the Wizards and has publicly cited his work and ideas. This past May, recording a podcast episode, he brought the host a copy of Browderโ€™s self-published 1996 book, *Survival Strategies for Africans in America: 13 Steps to Freedom.* + +Itโ€™s easy to see why someone with Irvingโ€™s tendencies would gravitate toward Browder. The gist of the 1996 book is that western culture was built on Egyptian and other Pan-African contributions, appropriating them as its own. American society, Browder says, is invested in diminishing that fact and thus paints Black identity in a malevolent light. Thatโ€™s where the book begins to get weird. In addition to delving into the political and economic disenfranchisement of African Americans, Browder engages in tenuous close readings of pop-culture symbols, like an ABC sitcom called *Good & Evil* in which *Good* is written in white text and *Evil* in black. An impossible-to-follow eight-page stretch begins by analyzing the eye on the pyramid on the dollar bill and concludes, โ€œWhen you add 1776 (one plus seven plus seven plus six), you get 21, the age of reason and adulthood as acknowledged in the United States of America.โ€ + +Browderโ€™s interests make appearances in Irvingโ€™s late-night rambles and posts, from numerology to Egyptian culture. Even Browderโ€™s health tips (e.g., avoid exposure to electromagnetic fields) fit within the New Age tab of Irvingโ€™s ideological portfolio. + +Browder is only one of several unconventional scholars Irving has been reading. Last spring, while streaming *Grand Theft Auto* on Twitch, he name-checked the late Frances Cress Welsing. โ€œSheโ€™s one of those GOATs for me,โ€ Irving said. โ€œOne of those authors that represents a new paradigm of surviving the world of white people versus nonwhite people.โ€ Welsingโ€™s stuff, imbued with psychosexual dart-throwing, is even wilder than Browderโ€™s. In one of her books, she writes about Black people dominating sports with โ€œlarge, brown ballsโ€ such as basketball and football, with white people favoring those with small, white ones, like golf. Welsing also floats a theory about white men who give their mothers boxes of chocolates on Valentineโ€™s Day because of a latent desire to ingest โ€œchocolate with nuts.โ€ + +Irving may not endorse, or even be aware of, every aspect of her work. But his interest in such authors helps explain why he would soon gravitate to a more infamous piece of content, positing the African roots of Eurocentric culture. โ€œKyrie is an inquisitive person, right? He lost his mother at a very young age,โ€ someone close to Irving told me. โ€œHeโ€™s constantly trying to find his lineage, looking for information to satiate this burning desire to understand himself.โ€ + +By his own account, Irving went online one day last fall to research the meaning of his first name. โ€œItโ€™s a title given to Christ,โ€ he told an interviewer. โ€œPhilippians 2:11. And my name translates into Hebrew language as โ€˜Yahweh.โ€™ So I went on to Amazon Prime, and I was like, โ€˜You know what? Let me see if there are any documentaries on Yahweh.โ€™โ€ Up came *Hebrews to Negroes.* + +Until Irving tweeted out the filmโ€™s URL on Amazon Prime, hardly anyone had seen it. Made for $8,000 by Ronald Dalton Jr., who wrote a 2014 book by the same name, it draws heavily from the margins of the Hebrew Israelite movement. Some early adherents were late-19th-century African Americans who identified, spiritually and/or ancestrally, as Jewish. Much of the connection stemmed from a hyper-specific reading of Deuteronomy 28:68 and a line about slaves being sent โ€œin shipsโ€ to Egypt. In the 1960s and โ€™70s, more radical Harlem-based Israelites known as One Westers began breaking away from their version of Judaism, identifying with Jesus Christ and accusing Jews of usurping their identity; they also overemphasized the minute Jewish role in slavery and generally said Jews were attempting to undermine people of color. + +Daltonโ€™s take on it all is as inchoate as it is offensive, as likely to confound as it is to radicalize. A quotation claiming the Holocaust is one of โ€œfive major Jewish falsehoodsโ€ is attributed to a Jewish man who never said it; a hot take by Adolf Hitler that โ€œNegroes Are the Real Children of Israelโ€ is also invented. Much of the film consists of interminable analyses of linguistic patterns and Bible verses backed by gravelly voice-overs and stock imagery. + +After Irving shared it with his 4.7 million Twitter followers, the blowback was immediate. Heโ€™d tapped into a gale-force news cycle that began with Kanye West, whoโ€™d recently tweeted โ€œIโ€™m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up Iโ€™m going death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLEโ€ and then โ€œI actually canโ€™t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew.โ€ At a postgame press conference on October 29, a *Post* reporter threw Irving a lifeline: Maybe he hadnโ€™t actually watched the documentary? Irving, stubbornly, said he had, in addition to reading a โ€œwhole bunch of good and bad about the truth of our worldโ€ while he was sidelined during his vaccine holdout. + +The furor kept growing. Irving reiterated his ecumenical omnist beliefs, but in combative media appearances, he seemed to gesture at some of the documentaryโ€™s themes. โ€œAm I going out and saying I hate one specific group of people?โ€ he said. โ€œIโ€™m not comparing Jews to Blacks. Iโ€™m not comparing white to Black. Iโ€™m not doing that. That conversation is dismissive and it constantly revolves around the rhetoric of โ€˜Who are the chosen people of God?โ€™โ€ + +During a scrum at the Nets practice facility in Sunset Park, ESPNโ€™s Friedell cut to the chase and told Irving that people wanted to hear โ€œa yes or noโ€ on whether he was antisemitic. Irving replied, โ€œI cannot be antisemitic if I know where I come from.โ€ The answer immediately entered the pantheon of failed sports non-denial denials, alongside Mark McGwireโ€™s steroid-era โ€œIโ€™m not here to talk about the past.โ€ The Nets suspended him that day. + +Kyrieโ€™s defenders explain his stonewalling as exasperation. โ€œKyrie felt almost insulted, like, โ€˜Man, you guys think Iโ€™m racist? Iโ€™m not even entertaining that,โ€™โ€ says Phil Handy, a mentor from his time with the Cavaliers, now an assistant coach with the Lakers. (Ethan Sherwood Strauss, an NBA writer on Substack, compares Irving to Herman Melvilleโ€™s โ€œBartleby, the Scrivener.โ€ Vaccines, public apologies: He prefers not to.) Irving eventually met with Nets owner Joe Tsai and NBA commissioner Adam Silver, who publicly declared their confidence that Irving did not harbor antisemitic beliefs. Eight games after his suspension, Irving was reinstated. + +After the scandal had blown over, a close ally of Irvingโ€™s gave me his side of the story. For one, the documentary appealed to his interest in ancestry. โ€œItโ€™s like, *Oh my God, we were the original tribes of Israel?* This seems even *more*, like, *Weโ€™re kings and queens.*โ€ They also suggested Irving hadnโ€™t seen the entirety of the nearly four-hour film. โ€œHe watched little parts of it and probably fell asleep,โ€ they said. โ€œIt is not a really good, put-together film. At one point, you really do go, โ€˜Thereโ€™s something fucked up with this documentary,โ€™ and thatโ€™s when they quoted Hitler. But that happened toward the end of the movie!โ€ + +A number of agents, executives, and assorted NBA figures professed their nonchalance about the saga. โ€œWas I surprised that he tweeted out a random antisemitic documentary? Yeah, a little bit. Then again, if you know the YouTube or Instagram algorithm, what kinds of things get fed to a conspiracy-minded guy like him โ€ฆ,โ€ said one team front-office figure, who happens to be Jewish. โ€œI feel like the antisemitism thing is such a footnote to the whole Kyrie story, another example of him spouting off on things he doesnโ€™t know about. He thinks heโ€™s discovered something nobody else knows.โ€ + +Before returning to the Nets, Irving offered an apology during a televised SNY interview. When he had claimed he couldnโ€™t be antisemitic because โ€œI know where I come from,โ€ he said, he wasnโ€™t referring to a lost tribe of Israel. He said he meant suburban New Jersey. + +Irvingโ€™s sneakers after he was dropped by Nike. Photo: Dustin Satloff/Getty Images (I AM + Logo Here) ; Layne Murdoch Jr./NBAE (Ancestors); Jamie Squire/Getty Images (Afrakan); Michael Reaves/Getty Images (Moorish); Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images (Free) + +**On a recent Sunday,** I drove to the gym in North Jersey where a teenage Kyrie Irving spent four years honing his game: the Young Menโ€™s and Womenโ€™s Hebrew Association of Union County. In the parking lot, Orthodox Jewish families were exiting minivans, and inside, I passed wall paintings of Israel and a portrayal of Theodor Herzl, the founder of modern Zionism. + +Irving trained here for countless nights, playing one-on-one games to 100 with a legendary AAU coach named Sandy Pyonin, who has guided some three dozen players to the pros. Dressed in sweatpants and purple high-top sneakers, Pyonin, who never gives his age, led me to his photo-filled wall of fame to show who Irving used to hang out with. โ€œThis is one of his close friends โ€” thatโ€™s Alex Rosenberg, who is Jewish,โ€ he said. โ€œHe used to stay over at his house. Alex played at Columbia University, also played for Israel.โ€ Pyonin motioned to a picture of another of Irvingโ€™s buddies, who went on to be the basketball coach at Joseph Kushner Hebrew Academy, a Yeshiva day school in Livingston named after Jared Kushnerโ€™s grandfather. + +Pyonin was being trailed by two locals, Chris Markowitz and Joshua Green, who are producing a documentary about him. Markowitz was wearing a pair of Kyries. Greenโ€™s older brother played in high school with Kyrie, and their family was something of a surrogate unit for him. Kyrie often ate dinner and stayed over at the Greensโ€™ home in nearby Elizabeth. Green, whose father is a Baptist preacher, told me he once asked Kyrie why he kept referring to his mother โ€” Ms. Green โ€” as โ€œMom.โ€ Kyrie replied, โ€œYour mom is basically my mom.โ€ + +Pyonin, who is Jewish, was bothered when Irving tweeted about *Hebrews to Negroes* but was certain he wasnโ€™t antisemitic. โ€œHeโ€™s a little bit of a genius. Geniuses canโ€™t understand the simplest thing,โ€ he said. โ€œSo he made a mistake with the Jewish community and realized how big it is.โ€ Pyoninโ€™s own story gets at an important dynamic underlying the controversy. He was raised working class in Elizabeth in the 1950s and โ€™60s and began developing his basketball program in the wake of the 1967 Newark riots. It made him a small link between Jewish and Black communities that were being pulled apart. + +An urban, northeastern sport with roots in New Yorkโ€“area YMHAs going back to the late-19th century, basketball can be understood as a cultural common ground for both groups. Pyonin suggested that his program, or his class, or his Jewish identity, or some combination of the three, has allowed him to transcend racial barriers. โ€œWhen I go to the Newark kidsโ€™ homes,โ€ he said, referring to former pupils, โ€œIโ€™m not white.โ€ + +I get what heโ€™s trying to say. But with all due respect to New York Knick Ossie Schechtman, who scored the first two points in what later became the NBA, Jewish representation in the sport is concentrated not among players but more managerial figures: owners, agents, and executives, as well as its last two commissioners, who have presided for a combined 39 years. Today, roughly 70 percent of players are Black, while only one team has a Black majority owner โ€” Michael Jordan. + +If thereโ€™s a film that explores this tension, itโ€™s not the crackpot documentary Irving tweeted but rather Josh and Benny Safdieโ€™s *Uncut Gems.* The 2019 drama concerns a rare opal mined by Ethiopian Jews, which a Diamond District jeweler named Howard Ratner sells to the Celtics star Kevin Garnett (who plays himself). In a film absorbed with questions of race and exploitation, it is telling that their power struggle over the opal is set against the backdrop of the NBA. Ratner wears a 1973 Knicks championship ring, as if he had somehow been involved in winning the title. โ€œWhat the fuck is it with you Jewish niggas and basketball, anyway?โ€ his Black associate asks him. Ratner venerates and resents Garnettโ€™s talent, comparing a bet he places on the Celtics to the actual contest. โ€œKG, this is no different than that,โ€ Ratner says. โ€œIโ€™m not a fucking athlete. This is my fucking way. This is how I win.โ€ + +The affinities and frictions of the Black and Jewish communities in New York are well documented. โ€œThe hymns, the texts, and the most favored legends of the devout Negro are all Old Testament and therefore Jewish in origin,โ€ James Baldwin wrote 75 years ago. Yet because Harlemโ€™s tradespeople were often Jews, they were associated with โ€œthe American business tradition of exploiting Negroes.โ€ In 1991, the year before Irving was born, a car in a prominent rabbiโ€™s motorcade struck and killed the 7-year-old child of a Guyanese immigrant in Crown Heights. The riots that ensued dominated the next mayoral election. In 1996, the year after Louis Farrakhanโ€™s Million Man March, Cornel West and Michael Lerner published *Jews and Blacks,* a series of dialogues that became a national best seller. โ€œTo be a Jew means to be oppressed, to be struggling, to be a certain moral conscience of the nation and so forth,โ€ West argued. โ€œCertain elements of the black world are saying, โ€˜Is it not the case that in the United States, Black folk more readily meet these criteria than Jews of European descent?โ€™โ€ + +The Barclays Center sits a single neighborhood over from Crown Heights. Early in Irvingโ€™s tenure, a Rockland County rabbi was stabbed by a reportedly mentally ill Black assailant and later died. The Nets partnered with the Anti-Defamation League to distribute HATE STOPS HERE T-shirts to players. According to Sullivan, the journalist writing a book on the team, only one of the squadโ€™s Black players, a benchwarmer named Theo Pinson, put one on. โ€œThere are a lot of things that have been happening over the course of this entire countryโ€™s history,โ€ Garrett Temple told Sullivan in the locker room, referencing police brutality. โ€œAnd there were no shirts specifically for that.โ€ Irving, sitting nearby, said, โ€œThatโ€™s whatโ€™s up.โ€ + +In November, as the *Hebrews to Negroes* controversy was still boiling*,* LeBron James wondered why reporters werenโ€™t asking him about photos that had recently surfaced of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones at a 1957 desegregation protest in Arkansas. I donโ€™t know if Irving has read *Jews and Blacks,* but at one point, speaking to reporters, he echoed a version of Westโ€™s argument: โ€œIโ€™ve been growing up in a country that told me I wasnโ€™t worth anything, that I came from a slave class, that I come from a people that are meant to be treated the way we get treated. Every day. So Iโ€™m not here to compare anyoneโ€™s atrocities, or tragic events that their families have dealt with for generations.โ€ + +The Anti-Defamation Leagueโ€™s Jonathan Greenblatt, who rejected a $500,000 pledge from Irving, was unmoved. โ€œThis is not some guy playing for a team in any random city. This is Brooklyn. This is ground zero,โ€ he said. โ€œItโ€™s also Kyrie Irving! My kids have his jersey and his shoes. Heโ€™s *Kyrie*.โ€ + +2023: As a Dallas Maverick. Photo: Dallas Mavericks/YouTube + +**At his first** press conference as a Dallas Maverick, Irving seemed to characterize his time in Brooklyn as a success. โ€œI left them in fourth place. I did what I was supposed to do,โ€ he said. (The team went 5-9 in games that Durant missed.) โ€œI was incredibly selfless in my approach to leading.โ€ + +Since 2017, Irving has contributed to the disruption of three teams in increasingly dramatic fashion. He has tested the boundaries of permissible athlete behavior in ways that have begun to repeatedly keep him off the court. And to judge by his social-media output, his mind is only moving in a stranger direction. Mark Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks, who is Jewish, looked at that track record and said: *Yes, please!* (Plenty of other franchises would have traded for him too.) One way to interpret this is that nothing matters โ€” that Irvingโ€™s talent will always seduce teams into looking past his eccentricities. In a similar vein, thereโ€™s a gap between Irvingโ€™s portrayal in much of the media โ€” as a kind of trollish internet villain and kook for late-night hosts to make fun of โ€” and his reputation among fans. They seem less scandalized by Irvingโ€™s attraction to alternative facts and maybe even hostile to the scolding he gets because of it. Two months after the conclusion of a saga many predicted would end his NBA career, Irving was selected as a starter for the 2023 All-Star Game. Players, fans, and members of the media all get to vote with a weighted scoring system. Journalists put Irving at No. 4. Players and fans โ€” 4.4 million of them โ€” put him at No. 1. + +The people who love watching Irving play extend him a lot of sympathy. One longtime agent surmises that Irving is forever searching for the love of the mother he never knew: โ€œSometimes you do terrible things to test people, to see if they still love you. Thatโ€™s all it is.โ€ A front-office executive who knows him says itโ€™s more basic: โ€œThis is a guy who is feeling things a lot, but he doesnโ€™t understand why heโ€™s feeling them. Then he finds an external reason for *Why do I have so much angst and unhappiness?*โ€ + +Thereโ€™s another way to look at Irving too. Heโ€™s often treated as a Neptunian, but many of his qualities are, at heart, pretty familiar for a 30-year-old American who spent much of the pandemic staring at a screen: a borderline solipsistic obsession with his identity, a vague distrust of the countryโ€™s political Establishment, a radicalization on matters of social justice. With a background like Irvingโ€™s, who wouldnโ€™t ask questions? The problem is that sometimes the internet doesnโ€™t give you the right answers. Off the court, at least, Irving is far from unknowable. In his own way, he can even be considered โ€” and hereโ€™s a word no one has ever used to describe him โ€” ordinary. + +What Was Kyrie Irving Thinking? + +  +  + +--- +`$= dv.el('center', 'Source: ' + dv.current().Link + ', ' + dv.current().Date.toLocaleString("fr-FR"))` \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/00.03 News/What did the ancient Maya see in the stars Their descendants team up with scientists to find out.md b/00.03 News/What did the ancient Maya see in the stars Their descendants team up with scientists to find out.md index a0c912e7..c5e2edb6 100644 --- a/00.03 News/What did the ancient Maya see in the stars Their descendants team up with scientists to find out.md +++ b/00.03 News/What did the ancient Maya see in the stars Their descendants team up with scientists to find out.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- -Tag: ["History", "Maya", "๐Ÿ’ซ", "๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡น"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿ“œ", "Maya", "๐Ÿ’ซ", "๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡น"] Date: 2022-06-14 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/What happened to Starbucks How a progressive company lost its way.md b/00.03 News/What happened to Starbucks How a progressive company lost its way.md index 5e573bcb..80fbb49b 100644 --- a/00.03 News/What happened to Starbucks How a progressive company lost its way.md +++ b/00.03 News/What happened to Starbucks How a progressive company lost its way.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- -Tag: ["Economy", "๐Ÿ“ˆ", "Maturing", "โ˜•๏ธ"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿ“ˆ", "Maturing", "โ˜•๏ธ"] Date: 2022-03-21 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/What i learnt during my 3 days offline.md b/00.03 News/What i learnt during my 3 days offline.md index 62d54ff0..e9a28470 100644 --- a/00.03 News/What i learnt during my 3 days offline.md +++ b/00.03 News/What i learnt during my 3 days offline.md @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ --- Alias: [] Tag: -

Photo: Jose M. Osorio/Chicago Tribune/Tribune News Service via Getty Images + +On a recent tour of Chicagoโ€™s Austin neighborhood, a heavily Black district on the West Side, Mayor [Lori Lightfoot](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/04/lori-lightfoot-chicago-activists.html) arrived with a [familiar message](https://twitter.com/danielmarans/status/1624457388509077505): She had done far more for the neglected enclaves of the city than any of her recent predecessors. + +โ€œWhere did we come to?โ€ she asked the crowd. + +โ€œWest Side!โ€ they cried back. + +โ€œWhere did we start?โ€ + +โ€œWest Side!โ€ + +โ€œAnd the moneyโ€™s been flowing to โ€ฆ ?โ€ + +โ€œWest Side!โ€ + +Lightfoot was touting one of her signature initiatives, Invest South/West, which [aims to marshal](https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-lightfoot-invest-south-west-chicago-20230113-ibywnqtse5bt5o5lplpbwlupee-story.html) more than $2 billion in public and private investments to revitalize working-class communities in the historically disinvested West and South Sides. If she were a typical Chicago mayor, she would be able to count on another four years, at minimum, to see the plan through, reveling in splashy ribbon-cuttings for new affordable housing complexes, firehouses, and parks. + +Instead, she may become the first Chicago mayor in 34 years to lose an election. And even that may undersell the rarity of Lightfootโ€™s predicamentโ€”that defeated mayor, Eugene Sawyer, had been appointed to his position, not elected. The voters of Chicago have not turned back an incumbent *elected* mayor in 40 years, not since Jane Byrne, the first woman to lead Chicago, was defeated in a Democratic primary in 1983. Itโ€™s the sort of city where two men named Richard Daley, father and son, could last in City Hall for more than four decades combined. + +Lightfoot is in danger of not only losing but not surviving the first round on February 28, when the top-two vote getters will advance to a spring runoff if no one wins a majority of votes. The Democrat *should* reach the top two in a field that features at least four viable candidates, but nothing is assured. One [recent poll](https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/meetthepressblog/poll-lightfoot-miss-runoff-chicago-mayoral-race-rcna70783) showed her running in third place, behind Paul Vallas, the former Chicago public-schools chief, and Jesรบs โ€œChuyโ€ Garcia, a congressman who ran an unsuccessful but high-profile bid for mayor in 2015. + +Itโ€™s a warning to mayors elsewhere, including [Eric Adams](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/02/eric-adams-once-again-goes-to-town-on-woke-democrats.html), that incumbency advantage will only go so far in this new, uneasy age for big cities. + +โ€œItโ€™s hard to imagine a worse time for being a mayor of a major American city,โ€ said Anthony Fowler, a professor at the Harris School of Public Policy at the University of Chicago. โ€œOn one hand, itโ€™s easy to sympathize with her. Sheโ€™s been mayor during a really challenging time, governing a city that is historically very difficult to govern.โ€ + +A former federal prosecutor and member of the cityโ€™s police oversight board, Lightfoot rose to fame when she chaired a special task force to investigate the 2014 police murder of Laquan McDonald, which then-Mayor Rahm Emanuel was accused of covering up. The task force issued a scathing report, finding pervasive racism within the department. Emanuel decided against running for a third term in 2019, and Lightfoot entered the race, winning all 50 wards in the runoff by uniting Black, Latino, and white voters on a promise of reform. She became the third Black mayor in the cityโ€™s history and the first who is openly gay. Though critical of the police department, she [never embraced](https://www.chicagomag.com/news/june-2020/lori-lightfoot-police-reform/) the activist view that the size and scope of the department had to be drastically reduced. (One of her great reform accomplishments, the establishment of an independent civilian oversight body for the police, came [after delays](https://news.wttw.com/2022/07/25/long-delayed-push-create-police-oversight-board-stalls-without-lightfoot-s-interim-picks) and activist pressure.) + +Lightfoot took office less than a year before the pandemic struck. The toll for large cities was immense; like New York, Chicago saw thousands of deaths and its vibrant downtown emptied out, as office workers fled and business migrated elsewhere. In May 2020, George Floyd was murdered, and Chicago endured a long, hot, and violent summer of protest. Through it all, crime exploded. Homicides rose sharply in 2020 and 2021, tailing off slightly in 2022. Still, the level of bloodshed remains at a level [last seen](https://news.wttw.com/2023/01/04/chicago-homicides-declined-2022-total-still-among-highest-90s) in the 1990s, unnerving a shrinking city where there is little debate that crime is *the* pressing concern. In 2022, 695 people were murdered in Chicago, far more than the 433 homicides recorded in New York, a city three times as large. + +No mayor could dramatically reverse these numbers in a few short years, and Lightfoot is the rare big city mayor to face the judgment of voters seek re-election after governing through the heart of the pandemic. Bill de Blasio of New York and Eric Garcetti of Los Angeles were term-limited. Boston Mayor Marty Walsh resigned in 2021 to become Joe Bidenโ€™s Labor secretary. Lightfoot, in a telephone interview, defended her record, pointing to her effort to curb crime and reform the notoriously brutal police as well as her managing of the cityโ€™s debt and its enormous โ€” and historically underfunded โ€” [pension obligations](https://news.wttw.com/2022/08/16/mayor-lori-lightfoot-touts-glow-end-chicago-s-pension-debt-tunnel). + +โ€œI think no sane person wants to try to govern through, hopefully, a once-in-a-lifetime global pandemic, an economic meltdown, a civic unrest following the murder of George Floyd, and an increase in crime across the country,โ€ Lightfoot said. โ€œEven through strong headwinds, weโ€™ve made a lot of concrete progress on behalf of the city.โ€ + +But Lightfootโ€™s many critics, while acknowledging her inordinate challenges, point to an alienating management and leadership style that has steadily eroded her support. Like her predecessor, the imperial Emanuel, Lightfoot has clashed with progressives and the powerful Chicago Teachers Union, which has endorsed one of her rivals, Brandon Johnson. She battled with the Democratic governor, J.B. Pritzker, over a plan to bring an elected school board to Chicago and warred with Democrats on the city council, even [losing out](https://www.chicagobusiness.com/politics/pat-dowell-endorses-brandon-johnson-mayor) on an endorsement from the chair she handpicked for the bodyโ€™s powerful budget committee. Many on the left [remain embittered](https://inthesetimes.com/article/chicago-mayor-lori-lightfoot-chuy-garcia-brandon-johnson-paul-vallas-election) because Lightfoot, who decided to flood public transit with police, never reopened mental-health clinics shuttered under Emanuel and Daley. The leader of Chicagoโ€™s police union, John Catanzara, reviles her. โ€œLawlessness has ruined this city,โ€ said Catanzara, who himself is enough of a Donald Trump supporter to [openly defend](https://abc7chicago.com/chicago-police-union-president-john-catanzara-donald-trump-riot/9448446/) the motivations of the January 6 rioters. โ€œIt has shattered our morale.โ€ + +The police union is backing Vallas, who also recently won the support of the Chicago *Tribune*โ€™s conservative editorial board. A lifelong Democrat, Vallas is [courting](https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/elections/ct-paul-vallas-mayor-republican-20230213-rjl6fmiri5ftbjheqxehovkop4-story.html) moderate and conservative voters in a bid to reach the runoff with Lightfoot or one of the other top candidates. Vallas has carved out a clear lane for himself as the most obvious and viable [law-and-order candidate](https://www.paulvallas2023.com/publicsafety) in the field, decrying criminal-justice reforms, promising to hire more police, and fuming that Chicago โ€œhas been surrendered to a criminal element.โ€ + +He has plainly gotten under Lightfootโ€™s skin. In our interview, she accused him of โ€œscaring the bejeezus out of white Chicagoโ€ and โ€œborrowing a page from the so-called southern strategy.โ€ Voters, she told me, โ€œwill see him for what he is, someone who wrecked our city schoolsโ€ โ€” an apparent reference to his controversial tenure as the leader of the cityโ€™s schools. (Vallasโ€™s campaign did not return a request for comment.) + +Jesus โ€œChuyโ€ Garcia after conceding his loss to Rahm Emanuel in 2015. Photo: Jonathan Gibby/Getty Images + +Lightfoot, Garcia, and Johnson all hope to reach the runoff, preferably against Vallas, who could offer a sharp-enough contrast to unite various liberal voting blocs against him. But Lightfoot is struggling to get there, in part, because sheโ€™s shed so much support in four years. (Oneย [recent poll](https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__abc7chicago.com_chicago-2Dmayoral-2Delection-2D2023-2Dcandidates-2Dpaul-2Dvallas_12833296_&d=DwMFaQ&c=7MSjEE-cVgLCRHxk1P5PWg&r=K2Lt38BudOuvcS_ifT0mpI1eQ87Rq8BLF4Ar7jnnLE8&m=HChuDcJ0MgVn-SGkFKXew26-cEt-Kjq_oyt-sghqwWsRlmVzwcDr0li1y3HTiwez&s=DVF-ND1D4gjo9X02yvEgRolY7KUdkFd2lf6c9UM8JTQ&e=)ย showed her trailing Vallas in a hypothetical runoff.) Since she never held elected office before assuming the mayoralty, her base, a mix of white liberals and Black voters, has always been fragile. More moderate voters are furious that crime has not come down fast enough. Progressives, in turn, feel Lightfoot has mostly abandoned them, pitching a Daley-esque neoliberalism vision for the city. Her defenders are still adamant she is the best option for Chicago: โ€œYou watch the debates, you see a lot of people throwing out talking points, sound bites โ€” sheโ€™s actually led,โ€ said Craig Carlson, a labor leader backing Lightfoot. But sheโ€™s fallen far from the heights of the 2019 election. + +Johnson, a Cook County commissioner, is competing with Lightfoot, along with businessman and perennial candidate Willie Wilson, for votes in the Black community. He has been hoovering up support from many of the progressives who detest her. โ€œThe last few years have been a time of colossal loss and grief and horror,โ€ said Emma Tai, the executive director of United Working Families, a Working Families Party affiliate that is supporting Johnson. โ€œWeโ€™re realizing how little peopleโ€™s lives have meant to the political Establishment.โ€ + +Johnson is a progressive favorite because he backs raising taxes on the rich and non-police solutions to violent crime, like year-round youth employment and new mental-health clinics. He also wants to aggressively hold the police department accountable for complying with its [federal consent decree](https://news.wttw.com/2022/03/25/chicago-police-extending-consent-decree-timeline-3-additional-years). He won the backing of the influential union that represents Chicago public-school teachers, who have resented Lightfoot at least since a teacher [walkout](https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/01/lori-lightfoots-chicago-teachers-union-covid) last year, after COVID cases surged in the public schools. In recent days, Lightfoot has taken direct aim at Johnson, [lashing him](https://chicago.suntimes.com/elections/2023/2/14/23600160/mayor-lori-lightfoot-attacks-brandon-johnson-taxes-rich-forum-west-side-polls-february-election) for wanting to raise taxes that could, in her view, drive businesses out of Chicago. + +Garcia, though, may pose the greatest threat to Lightfootโ€™s reelection of any of the Democrats. The congressman, who represents Chicagoโ€™s western half and suburban areas of Cook County, is hoping for a strong turnout from the cityโ€™s Latino voters as well as progressives and more center-left Democrats who might see Johnson as too liberal. Garcia is one of the most left-wing members of Congress โ€” on [many votes](https://www.congress.gov/member/jesus-garcia/G000586), he aligns with the Squad, and he backed Bernie Sanders for president โ€” but heโ€™s distanced himself from the rhetoric of the โ€œdefund the policeโ€ movement and lost progressive endorsers from 2015, when he ran for mayor and forced Emanuel into a runoff. That year, he was the candidate of the teachers union and a broad coalition of activist groups. (In Congress, he [drew scrutiny](https://www.wbez.org/stories/chuy-garcia-steps-down-from-committee-overseeing-crypto/dc5a3989-2f60-481d-94cf-a31bbcf5529a) for taking donations from disgraced cryptocurrency mogul Sam Bankman-Fried.) + +Garcia endorsed Lightfoot in 2019, though heโ€™s since repudiated her. His backers see the longtime Chicago Democrat, who previously served on the Cook County Board of Commissioners, as a successor to the cityโ€™s first Black mayor, Harold Washington, who was hailed for weaving together multiracial coalitions before he died in office in 1987. โ€œI believe Harold Washington was the greatest mayor our city ever had,โ€ said Andre Vasquez, an alderperson supporting Garcia. โ€œChuy has that same kind of spirit.โ€ + +All the campaigns agree that the race remains incredibly volatile. As many as a quarter of Chicago voters may be undecided, and turnout, in the dead of winter, is not expected to be robust.

You might start your journey by typing the word โ€œspatulaโ€ into the search box with a qualifier or two (โ€œsilicone,โ€ โ€œfish,โ€ โ€œmagentaโ€). In response, Amazon will produce a very large list presented in a large paginated grid or, on a phone, a bottomless scroll. You have, it is implied, thousands of options within immediate reach; Amazon presents them to you in a particular but mostly unexplained order. Some of the spatulas you encounter first will carry brand names youโ€™ve heard of before, like KitchenAid or Rubbermaid, while others will have names like IOCBYHZ, BANKKY, or KLAQQED. Some of them will appear identical to one another or even share the same product photos with different names and prices. Other listings will disclose, usually in small gray text, that theyโ€™re โ€œsponsored.โ€ (Of the 81 clickable, buyable products on my first page of search results for โ€œspatulaโ€ โ€” product listings, banners, and recommendation modules โ€” 29, or more than a third, were some form of ad.) + +Many products will be described in SEO-ese: โ€œSilicone Spatula Turner, VOVOLY 3-Pack Spatula Set for Nonstick Cookware, BPA Free Rubber Spatulas, Heat Resistant Kitchen Utensil, No Scratch or Melting, Ideal for Egg, Cookie, Crepe, Burger, Pancake.โ€ Most, maybe all, will be eligible for Prime. + +Youโ€™ll have options! So many options that, unless you have strongly held preferences about spatula brandsย โ€” unlikely, given that you just typed โ€œspatulaโ€ into Amazon โ€” youโ€™re going to need some guidance. BANKKY or KLAQQED? Should you give IOCBYHZ a look or just pay extra for the Oxo? Your eyes are drawn to the only relevant, useful information on the page: star ratings. On this first page, sponsored or not, theyโ€™re all hovering between 4 and 5 stars and mostly between 4.6 and 4.9: 403 ratings, 4.7 stars; 10,845 ratings, 4.8 stars; 27 ratings, 4.7 stars; 20,069 ratings, 4.7 stars. (Stars, according to Amazon, are calculated using โ€œmachine-learned models instead of a simple average.โ€ Not that it matters โ€”ย however theyโ€™re allocated, theyโ€™re what youโ€™re working with. Efforts to find independent reviews of Amazon-exclusive products rarely turn up high-quality content; many sites just summarize Amazon reviews in an effort to collect search traffic from Google and eventually affiliate commissions from Amazon itself.) + +You read a little feedback to quell your doubts or ease your mind, then eventually, or quickly, you pluck a spatula out of the cascade. Thereโ€™s a good chance, however, that it wonโ€™t actually be soldย *by*ย Amazon but rather by a third-party seller that has spent months or years and many thousands of dollars hustling for search placement on the platform โ€”ย its โ€œstore,โ€ to use Amazonโ€™s term, is where you will have technically bought this spatula. Thereโ€™s an even better chance you wonโ€™t notice this before you order it. In any case, itโ€™ll be at your door in a couple of days. + +The system worked. But what system? In your short journey, you interacted with a few. There was the โ€™90s-retro e-commerce interface, which conceals a marketplace of literally millions of sellers, each scrapping for relevance, using Amazon as a sales channel for their own semi-independent businesses. It subjected you to the multibillion-dollar advertising network planted between Amazon users and the things they browse and buy. It was shipped to you through a sprawling, submerged logistics empire with nearly a million employees and contractors in the United States alone. You were guided almost entirely by an idiosyncratic and unreliable reputation system, initially designed to review books, that has used years of feedback from hundreds of millions of customers to help construct an alternative universe of sometimes large but often fleeting brands that have little identity or relevance outside of the platform. You found what you were looking for, sort of, through a process that didnโ€™t feel much like shopping at all. + +This is all normal in that Amazon is so dominant that it sets norms. But its essential weirdness โ€” its drift from anything resembling shopping or informed consumption โ€” is becoming harder for Amazonโ€™s one-click magic trick to hide. + +Interacting with Amazon, for most of its customers, broadly produces the desired, expected, and generally unrivaled result: They order all sorts of things; the prices are usually reasonable, and they donโ€™t have to think about shipping costs; the things they order show up pretty quickly; returns are no big deal. But, at the core of that experience, something has become unignorably worse. Late last year, *The*ย *Wall Street Journal*ย reported that Amazonโ€™s customer satisfaction had fallenย [sharply](https://www.wsj.com/articles/amazons-customer-satisfaction-slips-with-shoppers-11668986981)ย in a range of recent surveys, which cited COVID-related delivery interruptions but also poor search results and โ€œlow-qualityโ€ items. More products are junk. The interface itself is full of junk. The various systems on which customers depend (reviews, search results, recommendations) feel likeย *junk*. This is the state of the art of American e-commerce, a dominant force in the future of buying things. Why does it feel like Amazon is making itself worse? Maybe itโ€™s slipping, showing its age, and settling into complacency. Or maybe โ€” hear me out โ€” everything is going according to plan. + +Like most tech companies, Amazonโ€™s corporate outlook at the beginning of 2023 wasnโ€™t ideal: falling stock price, rising costs, geopolitical concerns, real inroads by labor organizers, the end of the โ€œ[pandemic shopping habits](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/28/technology/amazon-earnings.html)โ€ that were, just two years ago, predicted to accelerate e-commerce adoption by leaps and bounds. On January 4, Amazonโ€™s CEO, Andy Jassy, who was elevated to the top post in 2021 after Jeff Bezos stepped back, said the company planned to eliminate โ€œjust over 18,000 roles.โ€ Cuts had begun last year with a focus on Amazonโ€™s devices division, including Alexa. The expanded cuts would target Amazonโ€™s stores division, which wasnโ€™t much of a surprise. In 2022, Amazon announced it was pulling back on some of its physical retail plans, including bookshops and its uncanny โ€œ4-Starโ€ stores, which stocked chaotic assortments of well-reviewed Amazon products. + +In 2022, the company pulled back on some other plans as well. In July, itย [reportedly](https://www.wsj.com/articles/amazon-has-been-slashing-private-label-selection-amid-weak-sales-11657849612)ย started trimming products from its private-label business through which it has long sold a range of its own products, some branded as Amazon Basics, others with house labels such as Solimo, Pinzon, and Wag. (The prevalence of house brands is arguably one of the ways in which the Amazon shopping experience is actuallyย *normal.*)ย One concern was that Amazonโ€™s own-brand expansion had started to draw antitrust attention with regulators accusing the company of using internal data to identify and then undercut competitors. Another issue โ€”ย one deeply connected to Amazonโ€™s fundamental weirdness โ€”ย is that the traditionally lucrative business of selling cheap store-brand alternatives to popular products wasnโ€™t especially profitable for Amazon. + +One of the quickest ways to understand why Amazon is the way it is is to look atย [this chart](https://www.statista.com/statistics/259782/third-party-seller-share-of-amazon-platform/): + +For more than five years, a clear majority of products sold through Amazon havenโ€™t been sold by Amazon but by third-party sellers through Amazon. These sellers number in the millions and work across virtually every category on the platform. Successful sellers, however, donโ€™t just list their products on Amazon and pay the company standard fees or commissions. They also pay the company to warehouse and ship their products, making them eligible for Amazon Prime. Clawing your way to relevance on Amazonโ€™s platform often involves spending a great deal of money on advertising with the company. Itโ€™s how new products get reviews, which are crucial to selling anything on Amazon, and itโ€™s how established products maintain relevance. Itโ€™s also why 29 of those 81 spatula options are functionally ads. + +โ€œSeller services,โ€ as Amazon refers to these and other sources of revenue, are a large and growing part of Amazonโ€™s revenue โ€”ย [larger than](https://www.wsj.com/articles/amazons-third-party-needs-to-keep-raging-1538917201)ย Amazon Web Services and quite profitable. They also mean that letting a seller market off-brand products on your platform is often going to be more profitable than selling yourย *own*ย discount brands: Undercutting an independent sellerโ€™s smallย [coffee-grinder](https://themarkup.org/amazons-advantage/2021/10/14/amazon-puts-its-own-brands-first-above-better-rated-products)ย business is, it turns out, a bad look and, in the big picture, maybe not worth the trouble. + +Sellers serve a lot of purposes for Amazon and joke among themselves about the free labor they provide. In exchange for access to the largest sales channel on the internet, they do a lot more than just pay Amazon its fees. They perform market research, obsessively investigating review data and marketplace trends to figure out whatโ€™s going to be popular on the platform next. (Recent red-hot third-party product types include miniature waffle-makers, reading lights that drape around your neck, and dog puzzles.) They handle customer service. They exert downward price pressure on one another, and they absorb a lot of risk (dozens of dog-puzzle sellers fail so that one may thrive). No matter what happens to them, whether their own businesses succeed or fail, Amazon makes money. + +This is a great deal for Amazon, and over the years it has become Amazonโ€™s *main* deal โ€”ย in 2021, the company estimated that activities on its marketplace created โ€œmore than 1.8 million U.S. jobsโ€ and shared success stories from its hundreds of thousands of American sellers, some of whom had become millionaires. It was a slow and, in hindsight, astounding transformation in which the โ€œeverything storeโ€ substantially outsourced itsย *store*. + +The proliferation of semi-branded discount goods on the platform is attributable to a few factors. One is that Amazon, for sellers, has a lot in common with a social-media network or a search engine in that its often intentionally inscrutable preferences must be catered to constantly, even when they donโ€™t really make sense and even if theyโ€™re detrimental to the product itself. (Selling on Amazon isย [notoriously cutthroat](https://www.theverge.com/2018/12/19/18140799/amazon-marketplace-scams-seller-court-appeal-reinstatement), and competitors often manipulate Amazonโ€™s systems against one another.) Another is Amazonโ€™s aggressive recruitment of sellers based in China, who, according to some estimates, accounted for nearly half of all businesses on the platform in 2020. Plenty of overseas sellers offer quality products, while many domestic sellers effectively run Chinese import businesses, but the factory-direct advantage is usually about price with (often acceptable and accepted!) trade-offs in quality control, customer service, and original design. (Amazonโ€™s cross-border commerce arrangements have led to the creation of a delightfully weird branding language almost unique to Amazon, whose marketplace affords special privileges to brands with registered American trademarks. Strings of unpronounceable letters are intended toย [move easily through](https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/11/style/amazon-trademark-copyright.html)ย the trademarking process; on Amazon, where star ratings and search placement are king, their uselessness as conventional brands doesnโ€™t really matter, so โ€œIOCBYHZ,โ€ โ€œBANKKY,โ€ and โ€œKLAQQEDโ€ work just fine.) + +The view of Amazonย *from*ย China is worth considering everywhere. Amazon lets Chinese manufacturers and merchants sell directlyย to customers overseas and provides an infrastructure for Prime shipping, which is rare and enormously valuable. It also has unilateral power to change its policies or fees and to revoke access to these markets in an instant โ€”ย as it has for thousands of Chinese sellers in recent years, with minimal process, because ofย [alleged review](https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3138151/amazon-bans-chinese-merchants-alleged-attempts-bribe-customers-write?module=inline&pgtype=article)ย fraud. Itโ€™s a lot of power for one firm to have. E-commerce analyst Juozas Kaziukฤ—nas, founder of Marketplace Pulse, hasย [highlighted](https://www.marketplacepulse.com/year-in-review-2022#china) growing concerns in the country about Amazonโ€™s dominance and trajectory, including an editorial in theย *Peopleโ€™s Daily*ย critical of the companyโ€™s e-commerce โ€œchokehold.โ€ (The article is available in translationย [here](https://www.pekingnology.com/p/amazon-is-a-chokehold-on-chinas-cross#:~:text=In%20order%20to%20defuse%20the,these%20websites%20to%20enhance%20their).) + +Amazonโ€™s position inย the United States isnโ€™t as different as it first looks. The companyโ€™s decades of aggressive investment and execution have resulted in the creation of a service without credible direct competitors: a commerce platform with more than 150 million subscribers, backed by a singular logistics empire that employs hundreds of thousands of people, with more market share than itsย [next 14 competitors](https://www.insiderintelligence.com/content/amazon-us-ecommerce-market)ย combined. Amazon isnโ€™t the only way for American businesses to sell to Americans, but its channel is by far the biggest, and its gravity โ€” even for brands that want to avoid the platform โ€”ย is strong. Depending on what youโ€™re trying to sell, thereโ€™s a decent chance the best way to find a lot of customers is through Amazon, which means agreeing to the companyโ€™s terms. Itโ€™s a double-edged peerlessness: Selling through Amazon gives you access to incredible customer acquisition and shipping capabilities you couldnโ€™t otherwise find or afford; selling through Amazon binds your fate to a bunch of systems you can never fully understand operated by a company to which you are just another user. + +Amazon doesnโ€™t have a โ€œchokehold,โ€ but itโ€™s in a good position to squeeze. After aย [temporary increase](https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/16/amazon-to-raise-seller-fulfillment-fees-for-the-holidays.html)ย in the cost of certain fulfillment services during the 2022 holidays, Amazon merchants were treated in early 2023 to a long-term increase in fees. On Amazonโ€™s SellerCentral forum, sellersย [vented at length](https://www.google.com/search?q=amazon+new+fees+2023&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8)ย in response to the news and talked about feeling stuck and taken for granted. Few, however, threatened to leave. + +Amazon is also looking to expand its reach and influence beyond its own platforms: This month, the company announced it was broadening access to a program called โ€œBuy With Prime,โ€ which allows third-party retailers to sell through their own sites while using Amazon for package fulfillment and shipping. Itโ€™s an ambitious vision in which Amazon doesnโ€™t just control access to its own customers but to e-commerce customers in general, whether they intend to use Amazon or not. + +At its logical conclusion, Buy With Prime is a vision of Amazon as a backbone to all e-commerce and of the company as an infrastructure provider. Itโ€™s ambitious! And it should sound familiar: Itโ€™s a bit like Amazon Web Services, which sells cloud-computing capacity to a wide range of companies across virtually every industry, including many competitors. AWS is the biggest service of its kind and Amazonโ€™sย [largest source of profit](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/28/technology/amazon-earnings.html).

Born in 1938 and raised in Baptist Valley, in Appalachian Virginia, she was the youngest of six children, the daughter of a sawmill operator who struggled to keep food on the table and gas in the tank of his timber truck. Tiny was ambitiousโ€”her photograph appeared in the local newspaper after she climbed onto a table to deliver her rebuttal during a debate tournamentโ€”but she was always second-guessing herself. After nearly every test she took (and usually aced), she would tell her mother, โ€œI think I failed it.โ€ She was shocked when she beat the football-team captain for class president. She was the first in her family to go to collegeโ€”a high-school counsellor warned her, โ€œYouโ€™ll be doing well if you get Cโ€™sโ€โ€”after which she earned a Ph.D. in psychology, at the University of Kentucky. But, everywhere she went, Clance felt the same nagging sense of self-doubt, the suspicion that sheโ€™d somehow tricked everyone else into thinking she belonged. + +In the early seventies, as an assistant professor at Oberlin College, Clance kept hearing female students confessing experiences that reminded her of her own: they were sure theyโ€™d failed exams, even if they always did well; they were convinced that theyโ€™d been admitted because there had been an error on their test scores or that theyโ€™d fooled authority figures into thinking they were smarter than they actually were. Clance began comparing notes with one of her colleagues, Suzanne Imes, about their shared feelings of fraudulence. Imes had grown up in Abilene, Texas, with an older sister who early on had been deemed โ€œthe smart oneโ€; as a high schooler, Imes had confessed anxieties to her mother that sounded exactly like the ones Clance had to hers. Imes particularly remembered crying after a Latin test, telling her mother, โ€œI know I failedโ€ (among other things, sheโ€™d forgotten the word for โ€œfarmerโ€). When it turned out that sheโ€™d got an A, her mother said, โ€œI never want to hear about this again.โ€ But her accomplishment didnโ€™t make the feelings go away; it only made her stop talking about them. Until she met Clance. + +One evening, they threw a party for some of the Oberlin students, complete with strobe lights and dancing. But the students looked disappointed and said, โ€œWe thought we were going to be learning something.โ€ They were hypervigilant, so intent on staving off the possibility of failure that they couldnโ€™t let loose for even a night. So Clance and Imes turned the party into a class, setting up a circle of chairs and encouraging the students to talk. After some of them confessed that they felt like โ€œimpostorsโ€ among their brilliant classmates, Clance and Imes started referring to the feelings they were observing as โ€œthe impostor phenomenon.โ€ + +The pair spent five years talking to more than a hundred and fifty โ€œsuccessfulโ€ women: students and faculty members at several universities; professionals in fields including law, nursing, and social work. Then they recorded their findings in a paper, โ€œThe Impostor Phenomenon in High Achieving Women: Dynamics and Therapeutic Intervention.โ€ They wrote that women in their sample were particularly prone to โ€œan internal experience of intellectual phoniness,โ€ living in perpetual fear that โ€œsome significant person will discover that they are indeed intellectual impostors.โ€ But it was precisely this process of discovery that helped Clance and Imes formulate the conceptโ€”as they recognized feelings in each other, and in their students, that theyโ€™d been experiencing all their lives. + +At first, the paper kept getting rejected. โ€œWeirdly, we didnโ€™t get impostor feelings about that,โ€ Clance told me, when I visited her at her home, in Atlanta. โ€œWe believed in what we were trying to say.โ€ It was eventually published in 1978, in the journal *Psychotherapy: Theory, Research, and Practice*. The paper spread like an underground zine. People kept writing to Clance to ask for copies, and she sent out so many that the person working the copy machine in her department asked, โ€œWhat are you doing with all these?โ€ For decades, Clance and Imes saw their concept steadily gaining tractionโ€”in 1985, Clance published a book, โ€œ[The Impostor Phenomenon](https://www.amazon.com/Impostor-Phenomenon-Overcoming-Haunts-Success/dp/0931948770),โ€ and also released an official โ€œI.P. scaleโ€ for researchers to license for use in their own studiesโ€”but it wasnโ€™t until the rise of social media that the idea, by now rebranded as โ€œimpostor syndrome,โ€ truly exploded. + +Almost fifty years after its formulation, the concept has achieved a level of cultural saturation that Clance and Imes never imagined. Clance maintains a list of studies and articles that have referenced their original idea; it is now more than two hundred pages long. The concept has inspired a micro-industry of self-help books, ranging in tone from `#girlboss` self-empowered sass (โ€œ[The Middle Finger Project: Trash Your Imposter Syndrome and Live the Unf\*ckwithable Life You Deserve](https://www.amazon.com/Middle-Finger-Project-Imposter-ckwithable-ebook/dp/B07S2N5YP4)โ€) to unapologetic earnestness (โ€œ[Yes! You Are Good Enough: End Imposter Syndrome, Overthinking and Perfectionism and Do What YOU Want](https://www.amazon.com/Yes-You-Good-Enough-Perfectionism-ebook/dp/B086VSWHJL)โ€). โ€œ[The Imposter Syndrome Workbook](https://www.amazon.com/Imposter-Syndrome-Workbook-Confidence-Brilliance/dp/1685390080)โ€ invites readers to draw their impostor voice as a creature or a monster of their choosing, to cross-examine their negative self-talk, and to fill a โ€œSelf-Love Mason Jarโ€ with written affirmations and accomplishments. + +The phrase โ€œimpostor syndromeโ€ often elicits a fierce sense of identification, especially from millennial and Gen X women. When I put out a call on Twitter for experiences of impostor syndrome, I was flooded with responses. โ€œDo you have room in your inbox for roughly 180,000 words?โ€ a high-level publishing executive wrote. A graduate of Trinity College Dublin confessed that her feelings of fraudulence were so strong that sheโ€™d been unable to enter the collegeโ€™s library for her entire first year. A university administrator said, โ€œI grew up on a pig farm in rural Illinois. Whenever I attend a fancy event, even if it is one I am producing, I feel like people will still see hayseed in my hair.โ€ An artisanal-cider maker wrote, โ€œIโ€™ve made endless ciders, but each and every time that I start fermenting, my mind goes, โ€˜This is the one when everyone will find out you donโ€™t know what youโ€™re doing.โ€™ย โ€ + +The eminent are not immune. In fact, Clance and Imes argued forcefully in their original study that success was not a cure. Maya Angelou once said, โ€œI have written eleven books, but each time I think, Uh-oh, theyโ€™re going to find out now. Iโ€™ve run a game on everybody, and theyโ€™re going to find me out.โ€ Neil Gaiman, in a commencement address that went viral, described his fear of being busted by the โ€œfraud police,โ€ whom he imagined showing up at his door with a clipboard to tell him he had no right to live the life he was living. (Although men do report feeling like impostors, the experience is primarily associated with women, and the word โ€œimpostorโ€ has been granted special feminized formsโ€”โ€œimpostrix,โ€ โ€œimpostressโ€โ€”since the sixteen-hundreds.) + +[](https://www.newyorker.com/cartoon/a23569) + +โ€œIf the clients want to put a pin in my idea, Iโ€™ll put a pin in them!โ€ + +Cartoon by Farley Katz + +Clance and Imes remain stunned by how broadly their idea has circulated. โ€œWe had no idea,โ€ Imes said. โ€œWe were just as surprised as everyone else.โ€ But their ambitions were never small. โ€œWe saw suffering in a lot of people, and we hoped we could help,โ€ Imes told me. โ€œWe wanted to change peopleโ€™s lives.โ€ + +Clance lives in a craftsman bungalow in Druid Hills, a leafy Atlanta neighborhood. When I visited, the first thing that I noticed in the front hallway was a wooden statue of a naked woman triumphantly holding a mask above her head. Masks feature prominently in Clanceโ€™s writing on the impostor phenomenon. Her book has three main sectionsโ€”โ€œPutting on the Mask,โ€ โ€œThe Personality Behind the Mask,โ€ and โ€œTaking Off the Maskโ€โ€”and argues that impostor feelings come from a conviction that โ€œI have to mask who I am.โ€ + +Now eighty-four years old, Clance has a slight, birdlike frame and is nimble-minded and affable. Draped in a wool blanket and sipping on a protein shake, she told me about years of therapeutic work with clients experiencing the impostor phenomenon, work that often focussed on early family dynamics. Clance and Imesโ€™s original paper identified two distinct family patterns that gave rise to impostor feelings: either women had a sibling who had been identified as โ€œthe smart oneโ€ or else they themselves had been identified as โ€œsuperior in every wayโ€”intellect, personality, appearance, talent.โ€ The pair theorized that women in the first group are driven to find the validation they didnโ€™t get at home but end up doubting whatever validation later comes their way; those in the second group encounter a disconnect between their parentsโ€™ unrealistic faith in their capacities and the experience of fallibility that life inevitably brings. For both types of โ€œimpostors,โ€ the crisis comes from the disjunction between the messages received from their parents and the messages received from the world. Are my parents right (that Iโ€™m inadequate), or is the world right (that Iโ€™m capable)? Or, conversely, are my parents right (that Iโ€™m perfect), or is the world right (that Iโ€™m failing)? This gap gives rise to a conviction that either the parent is wrong or the world is. + +The impostor begins to do everything possible to prevent being discovered in her self-perceived deficiencies. Clance and Imes cite one client who, as a child, โ€œpretended to be โ€˜sickโ€™ for three consecutive Fridays when spelling bees were held. She could not bear the thought of her parents finding out she could not win the spelling contest.โ€ Another client pretended to be playing with art supplies instead of studying whenever her mother walked into the room, because her mother had taught her that naturally smart people donโ€™t have to study. + +Clance and Imes describe the cycle that impostor feelings often produceโ€”a sense of impending failure that inspires frenzied hard work, and short-lived gratification when failure is staved off, quickly followed by the return of the old conviction that failure is imminent. Some women adopt a kind of magical thinking about their pessimism: daring to believe in success would actually doom them to failure, so failure must be anticipated instead. The typical case hides her own opinions, fearing that they will be seen as stupid; she might seek the approval of a mentor but then believe it has been secured only because of charm or appeal; she may hate herself for even needing this validation, taking the need itself as proof of her intellectual phoniness. + +Repeated successes usually donโ€™t break the cycle, Clance and Imes emphasize. All the frenzied efforts and mental calculations that are directed into preventing the discovery of oneโ€™s inadequacy and fraudulence ultimately just reinforce the belief in this inadequate, fraudulent version of the self. + +Clance has seen clients healed not by success but by the kind of resonance she found with Imes. Bolstered and sustained by group therapy with other womenโ€”itโ€™s easier to believe *other* women arenโ€™t impostorsโ€”they can then bring this recognition of othersโ€™ delusion back to themselves. Sometimes Clance asked clients to keep a notebook recording how they deflected compliments (reminding me of a woman who tweeted about reckoning with impostor feelings by creating a file on her computer called โ€œevidence Iโ€™m not an idiotโ€). Clance also often gave clients โ€œhomework assignments,โ€ such as asking them to study for only six hours for an upcoming test, rather than twelve. The mere idea of this gave me a pang of anxiety, and I ventured that it would be terrible if they ended up failing as a result. She nodded. โ€œYep. Then you really set them back.โ€ + +Clance and Imes have remained friends, and both relocated from Ohio to Atlanta nearly forty years agoโ€”Clance to teach at Georgia State, Imes to get a Ph.D. there. For a while, they even practiced therapy in the same building, a stucco house tucked away at the end of a long, shaded driveway, where Imes still sees clients. I met her there the day after Stacey Abrams lost her second gubernatorial bid, and the neighborhood was peppered with lawn signs that now seemed elegiac. Imesโ€™s office was a cozy den of soft couches and throw pillows, walls hung with quilts, and a Peruvian rice goddess dangling above usโ€”necklace-draped, wings outstretched. + +Imes has white curly hair and wore dark-red lipstick and bulky clogs that she slipped off immediatelyโ€”โ€œI think better without my shoesโ€โ€”so that she could place her feet beside me on the couch. (Later, she told me she has written on the role of physical touch in therapy.) A bookshelf behind her featured family photos from her clients. Imes asked if I got anxious before interviews like thisโ€”confessing that she always doesโ€”and soon I was talking about how shy Iโ€™d been in junior high school, and how I still worried that the wrong interview questions would expose how little I knew about the subject, or somehow reveal that Iโ€™m not a โ€œrealโ€ journalist. Run-of-the-mill impostor feelings. + +Imes told me that her own impostor feelings flared up when she was applying for Ph.D. programs while studying at the Gestalt Institute ofย Cleveland. But as a therapist she found the Gestalt approach well suited to reckoning with such feelings; she explained that the Gestalt method involves owning all the various parts of yourself, accepting them instead of trying to get rid of them, and understanding their function in the larger whole. In this way, the approach offers not only an antidote to the belief in a shameful self at the core of oneโ€™s being, a kernel that must be concealed, but also an intrinsic understanding of the self as many selves, rather than static or overly coherent. + +Both Imes and Clance underwent Gestalt therapy, and Clance found that the work helped her recognize more fully what her motherโ€”not always a deeply nurturing presence in her lifeโ€”had done for her, and for their whole family. When I asked Clance if reckoning with delusions about her own deficiency had been connected to reckoning with the primal delusion of her mother as a โ€œdeficientโ€ mother, she said yes, absolutely. Ultimately, she felt that her mother was able to appreciate the career sheโ€™d built, and the person sheโ€™d become. One time, she was visiting home and her mother called on her to talk to a relative in distress: โ€œTiny, you need to get down here, because heโ€™s going to kill himself!โ€ The request seemed like proof that her mother understood the importance of her work. In that moment, Clance felt some congruence between the messages she was getting from the world and the messages she was getting from her mother, a bridging of the gap sheโ€™d helped other women notice in their childhoods. + +As part of the process of understanding and accepting various aspects of the self, Gestalt often involves โ€œempty-chairโ€ work, in which you might have an imagined conversation with someone importantโ€”a dead mother, a former loverโ€”and play out both parts of the conversation, sometimes switching chairs, in order to reckon with the lasting influence of the relationship. A philosophy pointed toward integration makes sense as an antidote to impostor feelings, which can fuel a selective self-presentation driven by shame: I can show only this part of myself and must keep that part of myself hidden. + +One of the cornerstones of the work Clance and Imes did with their clients was an empty-chair exercise in which they were asked to imagine having conversations with all the authority figures theyโ€™d ever โ€œtrickedโ€ into thinking they were smarter or more competent than they actually were. Clance would gently invite them to consider the ways that their impostor feelings constituted, implicitly, a kind of solipsismโ€”understanding everyone else as so easily trickedโ€”telling them, โ€œLine up all the professors you fooled and say, โ€˜I fooled you!โ€™ย โ€ + +The first time I used the phrase โ€œimpostor syndromeโ€ about myself, I wasโ€”as it happensโ€”describing experiences Iโ€™d had with my own professors. This was 2015, and Iโ€™d given a lecture at a small liberal-arts college in Michigan. At a dinner afterward, I found myself telling a professor about the anxieties Iโ€™d experienced as a Ph.D. student. In seminars, I often felt as if anything I said aloud would reveal that I did not understand the first thing about Heidegger; or that I had read only three chapters of โ€œ[Discipline and Punish](https://www.amazon.com/Discipline-Punish-Prison-Michel-Foucault/dp/0679752552).โ€ Once, in a moment of panic, Iโ€™d said I *loved* Donna Haraway, afraid to confess that Iโ€™d never read her at all, and I was sometimes confronted with this fraudulent love, an impostor even in my affinities. + +The experience I was trying to describe was more specific than mere self-doubt; it was a fear of being *found out*, revealed for what I really was. And it was an anxiety that I felt complicit in, having produced these false fronts with my lies. I didnโ€™t feel that I was saying anything particularly dramatic. By then, impostor syndrome was already something that people routinely confessed about their experiences in high-achieving environments. But it did feel like a genuine exposure of various low-key humiliations: the blooming circles of dark sweat under my armpits as I larded my sentences with jargon, the scrambled, panicked posturing of theoretical preferences. + +[](https://www.newyorker.com/cartoon/a24016) + +โ€œThen you make a little well in the middle for the waterย .ย .ย .โ€ + +Cartoon by Evan Lian + +Once Iโ€™d finished this brief summary of my impostor syndromeโ€”trying on the term, which wasnโ€™t one I could remember using beforeโ€”my dinner companion, another white female academic, replied curtly, โ€œThatโ€™s such a white-lady thing to say.โ€ + +In the wake of her comment, the table quieted a bit as people sensedโ€”the way a constellation of strangers often canโ€”the presence of some minor friction. My seatmate and I turned to the only woman of color at the table, a Black professor, so that she could, presumably, tell us what to think about the whiteness of impostor syndrome, though perhaps there were things she wanted to do (like finish eating dinner) more than she wanted to mediate a spat between two white ladies about whether we were saying white-lady things or not. She graciously explained that she didnโ€™t particularly identify with the experience. She hadnโ€™t often felt like an impostor, because she had more frequently found herself in situations where her competence or intelligence had been underestimated than in ones where it was taken for granted. + +In the years since then, Iโ€™ve heard many women of colorโ€”friends, colleagues, students, and people Iโ€™ve interviewed on the subjectโ€”articulate some version of this sentiment. Lisa Factora-Borchers, a Filipinx American author and activist, told me, โ€œWhenever Iโ€™d hear white friends talk about impostor syndrome, Iโ€™d wonder, How can you think youโ€™re an impostor when every mold was made for you? When you see mirror reflections of yourself everywhere, and versions of what your success might look like?โ€ + +Adaira Landry, an emergency-medicine physician at Brigham and Womenโ€™s Hospital and a faculty member at Harvard Medical School, told me about her first day at the U.C.L.A. med school. Landry, a first-generation college student from an African American family, met a fellow first-year student, a man, who was already wearing a white coat, although they hadnโ€™t yet had their white-coat ceremony. His mother was in health care and his sister was in med school, and theyโ€™d informed him that if he wanted to be an orthopedic surgeon, which he did, it would be beneficial to start shadowing someone immediately. Landry went home that night feeling dispirited, as if she were already falling behind, and a classmate told her, โ€œDonโ€™t worry, you just have impostor syndrome.โ€ + +For Landry, this was only the first of many instances of what she calls โ€œthe misdiagnosis of impostor syndrome.โ€ Landry understands now that what her classmate characterized as a crisis of self-doubt was simply an observation of an external truthโ€”the concrete impact of connections and privilege. Eventually, Landry looked up Clance and Imesโ€™s 1978 paper; she didnโ€™t identify with the people described in it. โ€œThey interviewed a set of primarily white women lacking confidence, despite being surrounded by an educational system and workforce that seemed to recognize their excellence,โ€ she told me. โ€œAs a Black woman, I was unable to find myself in that paper.โ€ + +Since then, Landry has had countless conversations with students who feel they are struggling with impostor syndrome, and she usually senses a palpable relief when she suggests that they are feeling like this not because there is something wrong with them but because they are โ€œenveloped in a system that fails to support them.โ€ Ironically, her studentsโ€™ relief at being liberated from the label of impostor syndrome reminds me of the relief that Clance and Imes witnessed when they first offered the concept to their clients. In both cases, women were being told, โ€œYou are not an impostor. You are enough.โ€ In one case, an experience was diagnosed; in the other, the diagnosis was removed. + +In 2020, almost fifty years after Clance and Imes collaborated on their article, another pair of women collaborated on an article about impostor syndromeโ€”this one pushing back fiercely against the idea. In โ€œStop Telling Women They Have Imposter Syndrome,โ€ published in the *Harvard Business Review,* in February, 2021, Ruchika Tulshyan and Jodi-Ann Burey argue that the label implies that women are suffering from a crisis of self-confidence and fails to recognize the real obstacles facing professional women, especially women of colorโ€”essentially, that it reframes systemic inequality as an individual pathology. As they put it, โ€œImposter syndrome directs our view toward fixing women at work instead of fixing the places where women work.โ€ + +Tulshyan started hearing the term a decade ago, when she left a job in journalism to work in the Seattle tech industry. She was attending womenโ€™s leadership conferences where it seemed that everyone was talking about impostor syndrome and โ€œthe confidence gap,โ€ but no one was talking about gender bias and systemic racism. She got tired of hearing women, especially white womenโ€”her own heritage is Indian Singaporeanโ€”comparing notes on who had the most severe impostor syndrome. It seemed like another version of women sharing worries about their weight, a kind of communal self-deprecation that reiterated oppressive metrics rather than disrupting them. + +During the early pandemic, she met up with Bureyโ€”another woman of color working in Seattle techโ€”for an outdoor lunch, and they compared notes on their shared frustration with the idea of impostor syndrome. There was a tremendous feeling of relief and resonance. As Tulshyan put it, โ€œIt was like everybody is telling you the sky is green, and suddenly you tell your friend, I think the sky is blue, and she sees it this way as well.โ€ + +Burey, who was born in Jamaica, didnโ€™t feel like an impostor; she felt enraged by the systems that had been built to disenfranchise her. She also didnโ€™t experience any yearning to belong, to inhabit certain spaces of power. โ€œWhite women want to access power, they want to sit at the table,โ€ she told me. โ€œBlack women say, This table is rotten, this table is hurting everyone.โ€ She resisted knee-jerk empowerment rhetoric that seemed to encourage a damaging bravado: โ€œI didnโ€™t want to beef up myself to inflict more harm.โ€ + +At their lunch, Tulshyan mentioned that she was writing a piece about impostor syndrome, and Burey immediately asked her, โ€œDid you read the original article?โ€ Like Adaira Landry, Burey had felt impelled to look it up and had been struck by its limitations. It wasnโ€™t a clinical study but a set of anecdotal observations, she told Tulshyan, largely gleaned from โ€œhigh-achievingโ€ white women who had received much affirmation from the world. โ€œI must have spoken for twenty minutes uninterrupted,โ€ Burey recalled. After that, Tulshyan said, โ€œItโ€™s done. Weโ€™re collaborating.โ€ + +Like Clance and Imes, Tulshyan and Burey recognized in each other versions of the feelings that they themselves had been harboringโ€”only these were feelings about the world, rather than about their psyches. They were sick of people talking about women having impostor syndrome rather than talking about biases in hiring, promotion, leadership, and compensation. They came to believe that a concept designed to liberate women from their shameโ€”to help them confront the delusion of their own insufficiencyโ€”had become yet another way to keep them disempowered. + +When I asked Clance and Imes about Tulshyan and Bureyโ€™s critiques, they agreed with many of them, conceding that their original sample and parameters were limited. Although their model had actually acknowledged (rather than obscured) the role that external factors played in creating impostor feelings, it focussed on things such as family dynamics and gender socialization rather than on systemic racism and other legacies of inequality. But they also pointed out that the popularization of their idea as a โ€œsyndromeโ€ had distorted it. Every time Imes hears the phrase โ€œimpostor syndrome,โ€ she told me, it lodges in her gut. Itโ€™s technically incorrect, and conceptually misleading. As Clance explained, the phenomenon is โ€œan experience rather than a pathology,โ€ and their aim was always to normalize this experience rather than to pathologize it. Their concept was never meant to be a solution for inequality and prejudice in the workplaceโ€”a task for which it would necessarily prove insufficient. Indeed, Clanceโ€™s own therapeutic practice was anything but oblivious of the external structural forces highlighted by Tulshyan and Burey. When mothers came to Clance describing their impostor feelings around parenting, her advice was not โ€œWork on your feelings.โ€ It was โ€œGet more child care.โ€ + +Tulshyan and Burey never anticipated how much attention their article would receive. It has been translated and published all over the world, and is one of the most widely shared articles in the history of the *Harvard Business Review*. They heard from people who had been given negative performance evaluations that featured euphemisms for impostor syndrome (โ€œlacks confidenceโ€ or โ€œlacks executive presenceโ€) and even refused promotions on these grounds. The diagnosis has become a cultural force fortifying the very phenomenon it was supposed to cure. + +As the backlash against the concept of impostor syndrome spreads, other critiques have emerged. If everyone has it, does it exist at all? Or are we simply experiencing a kind of humility inflation? Perhaps the widespread practice of confessing self-doubt has begun to encourageโ€”to *demand*, evenโ€”repeated confessions of the very experience that the original concept was trying to dissolve. The writer and comedian Viv Groskop believes that impostor syndrome has become a blanket term obscuring countless other problems, everything from long *Covid* to the patriarchy. She told me a story about standing in front of five hundred women and telling them, โ€œRaise your hand if you have experienced impostor syndrome.โ€ Almost every woman raised her hand. When Groskop asked, โ€œWho here has *never* experienced impostor syndrome?,โ€ only one (brave) woman did. But, at the end of the talk, this outlier came up to apologizeโ€”worried that it was somehow arrogant *not* to have impostor syndrome. + +[](https://www.newyorker.com/cartoon/a26413) + +Cartoon by Seth Fleishman + +Hearing this story, I began to wonder if Iโ€™d confessed my own feelings of impostor syndrome to Dr. Imes as a kind of admission fee, to claim my seatโ€”like putting my ante into the pot at a poker game. Who had made it possible for me to play this game? When I asked my mother, who is seventy-eight, if the concept resonated, she said it didnโ€™t; sheโ€™d struggled more with proving herself than with feeling like a fraud. She told me she suspected that most women in her generation (and even more in her motherโ€™s) were likelier to feel the oppositeโ€”โ€œthat we were being underestimated.โ€ + +For many younger women, thereโ€™s a horoscope effect at play: certain aspects of the experience, if defined capaciously enough, are so common as to be essentially universal. The Australian scholar and critic Rebecca Harkins-Crossโ€”who often felt like an impostor during her university days, struggling with insecurities she now connects to her working-class backgroundโ€”has become suspicious of the ways impostor syndrome serves a capitalist culture of striving. She told me, โ€œCapitalism needs us *all* to feel like impostors, because feeling like an impostor ensures weโ€™ll strive for endless progress: work harder, make more money, try to be better than our former selves and the people around us.โ€ + +On the flip side, this relentless pressure deepens the exhilarating allure of peopleโ€”specifically, womenโ€”who truly *are* impostors but refuse to see themselves as such. Think of the mass fascination with the antiheroine Anna Delvey (a.k.a. Anna Sorokin), who masqueraded as an heiress in order to infiltrate a wealthy world of New York socialites, and the hypnotic train wreck of Elizabeth Holmes, who built a nine-billion-dollar company based on fraudulent claims about her ability to diagnose a variety of diseases from a single drop of blood. Why do these women enthrall us? In the television adaptations that turned their lives into soap operasโ€”โ€œInventing Annaโ€ and โ€œThe Dropoutโ€โ€”their hubris offers a thrilling counterpoint to beleaguered self-doubt: Annaโ€™s extravagant cash tips and gossamer caftans, her willingness to overstay her welcome on a yacht in Ibiza, her utter convictionโ€”even once she was in jailโ€”that it was the *world* that had been wrong, rather than her. + +These stories gleaned much of their narrative momentum from the constant threat of revelation: when would these impostors be discovered? Paying for things on credit without being able to afford them literalizes a crucial facet of impostor syndrome: the anxiety that you are getting what you have not paid for and do not deserve; that you will eventually be found out, and your bill will come due. (Capitalism always wants you to believe you have a bill to pay.) Part of the lure of these stories is the looming satisfaction of seeing the impostors revealed and exposed. For some of us, itโ€™s akin to the pleasure of pushing on a bruise, watching the community punish the impostor we believe exists inside ourselves. + +Ruchika Tulshyan told me, โ€œIf it was up to me, we would do away with the idea of impostor syndrome entirely.โ€ Jodi-Ann Burey allows that the concept has been useful in corporate contexts, offering a shared language for talking about self-doubt and a โ€œsoft entryโ€ into conversations about toxic workplaces, but she, too, feels it is time to bid it farewell. She wants to say, โ€œThank you for your fifty years of service,โ€ and to start looking directly at systems of bias, rather than falsely pathologizing individuals. + +Is there some version of impostor syndrome that can be salvaged? Pulling back from the corporate world to look at the concept more broadly, it seems clear that the #girlboss branding of impostor syndrome has done a disservice to the concept as well as to the workplaces it has failed to improve. The tale of these two pairs of womenโ€”Clance and Imes formulating their idea in the seventies, and Tulshyan and Burey pushing back in 2020โ€”belongs to the larger intellectual story of second-wave feminism receiving necessary correctives from the third wave. Much of this corrective work results from women of color asking white feminism to acknowledge a complicated matrix of external forcesโ€”including structural racism and income inequalityโ€”at play in every internal experience. Identifying impostor feelings does not necessitate denying the forces that produced them. It can, in fact, demand the opposite: understanding that the damage from these external forces often becomes part of the internal weave of the self. Although many of the most fervent critics of impostor syndrome are women of color, itโ€™s also the case that many people of color do identify with the experience. In fact, research studies have repeatedly shown that impostor syndrome disproportionately affects them. This finding contradicts what I was told years agoโ€”that impostor syndrome is a โ€œwhite ladyโ€ problemโ€”and suggests instead that the people most vulnerable to the syndrome are not the ones it first described. + +If we reclaim the impostor phenomenon from the false category of โ€œsyndrome,โ€ then we can allow it to do the work it does best, which is to depict a particular texture of interior experience: the fear of being exposed as inadequate. As a concept, it is most useful in its particular nuancesโ€”not as a vague synonym for insecurity or self-doubt but as a way to describe the more specific delusion of being a fraud who has successfully deceived some external audience. Understood like this, it becomes an experience not diluted but defined by its ubiquity. It names the gap that persists between the internal experiences of selfhoodโ€”multiple, contradictory, incoherent, striated with shame and desireโ€”and the imperative to present a more coherent, composed, continuous self to the world. + +The psychoanalyst Nuar Alsadir, in her book โ€œ[Animal Joy](https://www.amazon.com/Animal-Joy-Book-Laughter-Resuscitation/dp/1644450933),โ€ explains impostor syndrome by drawing on D.ย W. Winnicottโ€™s concepts of โ€œfalse selfโ€ and โ€œtrue self.โ€ She sees the anxiety as stemming from โ€œa False Self that is so fortified by layers of compliant behavior that it loses contact with the raw impulses and expressions that characterize the True Self.โ€ Attempts to prevent the discovery of oneโ€™s โ€œtrue selfโ€ end up compounding the belief that this self, were it ever discovered, would be rejected and dismissed. + +Impostor feelings often arise most acutely from threshold-crossingโ€”from one social class to another, one culture to another, one vocation to anotherโ€”something akin to what Pierre Bourdieu called the โ€œsplit habitus,โ€ the self dwelling in two worlds at once. The college library and the sawmill. The fancy parties and the pig farm. When I spoke to Stephanie Land, the best-selling author of โ€œMaid,โ€ her memoir about cleaning houses to support herself as a single mother, she described her own impostor feelings as an experience of class whiplash: occupying spaces of privilege after sheโ€™d grown famous for writing about economic hardship. When she flew first class with her teen-age daughter to see a Lizzo concert, and a stranger thanked her for her writing, Land felt that sheโ€™d been caught somewhere she didnโ€™t belongโ€”as if flying first class made her current self a fraud, or else her past self a fraud; or somehow both versions of her were fraudulent at once. + +Landโ€™s sense of impostordom also stems from the fact that her personal story is frequently interpreted as a consoling fable of class mobility. โ€œIโ€™m very conscious that my story is the palatable kind of poor-person story,โ€ she has written. โ€œI am Little Orphan Annie skipping around in new shoes.โ€ When people love her story, she told me, they are loving a version of the American Dream that she thinks of as the American Myth. When her life is distorted and misunderstood in this way, it becomes a kind of impostor plotโ€”and it makes her feel like an impostor as well. + +Landโ€™s observations helped me realize that the impostor phenomenon, as a concept, effectively functions as an emotional filing cabinet organizing a variety of fraught feelings that we can experience as we try to reconcile three aspects of our personhood: how we experience ourselves, how we present ourselves to the world, and how the world reflects that self back to us. The phenomenon names an unspoken, ongoing crisis arising from the gaps between these various versions of the self, and designates not a syndrome but an inescapable part of being alive.ย โ™ฆ + +  +  + +--- +`$= dv.el('center', 'Source: ' + dv.current().Link + ', ' + dv.current().Date.toLocaleString("fr-FR"))` \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/00.03 News/Why Indian universities are ditching English-only education.md b/00.03 News/Why Indian universities are ditching English-only education.md index e0f65f15..e3810e96 100644 --- a/00.03 News/Why Indian universities are ditching English-only education.md +++ b/00.03 News/Why Indian universities are ditching English-only education.md @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ --- Alias: [""] -Tag: ["Society", "๐Ÿ’ฌ", "๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿคต๐Ÿป", "๐Ÿ’ฌ", "๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ"] Date: 2022-02-14 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/Why Putting Solar Canopies on Parking Lots Is a Smart Green Move.md b/00.03 News/Why Putting Solar Canopies on Parking Lots Is a Smart Green Move.md index 69a78025..b0f650ef 100644 --- a/00.03 News/Why Putting Solar Canopies on Parking Lots Is a Smart Green Move.md +++ b/00.03 News/Why Putting Solar Canopies on Parking Lots Is a Smart Green Move.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- -Tag: ["Economy", "๐ŸŒก๏ธ", "โšก๏ธ", "โ˜€๏ธ"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿ“ˆ", "๐ŸŒก๏ธ", "โšก๏ธ", "โ˜€๏ธ"] Date: 2022-08-07 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/Why We Listen to Music With Lyrics We Donโ€™t Understand.md b/00.03 News/Why We Listen to Music With Lyrics We Donโ€™t Understand.md index 7275467e..a517b274 100644 --- a/00.03 News/Why We Listen to Music With Lyrics We Donโ€™t Understand.md +++ b/00.03 News/Why We Listen to Music With Lyrics We Donโ€™t Understand.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- -Tag: ["Human", "Behaviour", "๐ŸŽถ"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿซ€", "Behaviour", "๐ŸŽถ"] Date: 2022-03-19 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/Why is a small Swedish automaker a decade ahead of the rest of the industry.md b/00.03 News/Why is a small Swedish automaker a decade ahead of the rest of the industry.md index 69ebeb60..88d24dbd 100644 --- a/00.03 News/Why is a small Swedish automaker a decade ahead of the rest of the industry.md +++ b/00.03 News/Why is a small Swedish automaker a decade ahead of the rest of the industry.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- -Tag: ["Economy", "๐Ÿš—", "๐ŸŒฑ"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿ“ˆ", "๐Ÿš—", "๐ŸŒฑ"] Date: 2022-10-07 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/Why it can be sublime to love someone who doesnโ€™t love you back.md b/00.03 News/Why it can be sublime to love someone who doesnโ€™t love you back.md index ddc8600d..55406674 100644 --- a/00.03 News/Why it can be sublime to love someone who doesnโ€™t love you back.md +++ b/00.03 News/Why it can be sublime to love someone who doesnโ€™t love you back.md @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ --- Alias: [""] -Tag: ["Human", "๐Ÿ’•"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿซ€", "๐Ÿ’•"] Date: 2022-02-15 DocType: "WebClipping" Hierarchy: diff --git a/00.03 News/Will Ashley Bidenโ€™s Stolen Diary Take Down Project Veritas.md b/00.03 News/Will Ashley Bidenโ€™s Stolen Diary Take Down Project Veritas.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..334d7259 --- /dev/null +++ b/00.03 News/Will Ashley Bidenโ€™s Stolen Diary Take Down Project Veritas.md @@ -0,0 +1,206 @@ +--- + +Tag: ["๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ", "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ", "๐Ÿด"] +Date: 2023-01-19 +DocType: "WebClipping" +Hierarchy: +TimeStamp: 2023-01-19 +Link: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/project-veritas-james-okeefe-ashley-biden-diary.html +location: +CollapseMetaTable: true + +--- + +Parent:: [[@News|News]] +Read:: [[2023-01-22]] + +--- + +  + +```button +name Save +type command +action Save current file +id Save +``` +^button-WillBidenStolenDiaryTakeDownProjectVeritasNSave + +  + +# Will Ashley Bidenโ€™s Stolen Diary Take Down Project Veritas? + +After a decade of punking liberals with hidden-camera stings, James Oโ€™Keefe becomes the story. + +![](https://pyxis.nymag.com/v1/imgs/204/4e4/bf4e03681a3523a6a0ab90e0d1128e1175-Project-Veritas-Final-NY-Mag.rvertical.w570.jpg) + +Photo-Illustration: Adam Maida/Photo: Joe Raedle/Getty Images + +This article was featured inย [*One Great Story*](http://nymag.com/tags/one-great-story/),ย *New York*โ€™s reading recommendation newsletter.ย [Sign up here](https://nymag.com/promo/sign-up-for-one-great-story.html?itm_source=vsitepromo&itm_medium=articlelink&itm_campaign=ogs_tertiary_zone)ย to get it nightly. + +**It all began** with a Florida man and his boat. Back in 2020, a Peruvian-born millionaire who resided in a marina development in Jupiter started fighting with neighbors who objected to a Trump flag he flew on the mast of his 40-foot Invincible. The local feud escalated into a series of nationally publicized pro-Trump boat parades. One of these Trumptillas, as the organizers called them, went from Jupiter to Mar-a-Lago on Labor Day. The night before the event, a Republican donor named Elizabeth Fago threw a campaign fundraiser at her dockside mansion. [Kimberly Guilfoyle](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/12/does-trump-family-dislike-kim-guilfoyle-eric-ivanka.html) and [Donald Trump Jr.](https://nymag.com/tags/donald-trump-jr/) were at the party, and so were a pair of local entrepreneurs, [Aimee Harris](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/08/pair-pleads-guilty-to-stealing-biden-daughters-diary.html) and [Robert Kurlander](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/08/pair-pleads-guilty-to-stealing-biden-daughters-diary.html), who came bearing items for sale. + +โ€œYou may have a chance to make so much money,โ€ Kurlander, a businessman who had done time in federal prison for conspiring to launder drug money, texted Harris beforehand. + +โ€œOMG,โ€ she wrote. โ€œI canโ€™t wait to show you what Mama has to bring Papa.โ€ + +Among the materials Harris had found โ€” or, as she would later admit, stolen โ€” was a small green notebook: a [diary that belonged to Ashley Biden](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/08/pair-pleads-guilty-to-stealing-biden-daughters-diary.html), the then-39-year-old daughter of Joe. Kurlander had introduced Harris to Fago, a nursing-home mogul who drove a white Bentley and was once in a cheerleading crew called the Nixonettes. + +Harris and Kurlander were hoping to show the diary to Don Jr. at Fagoโ€™s home that evening. A spokesperson for Don Jr. says he โ€œnever saw the diary,โ€ but according to a source familiar with the events, some representatives of the [Trump campaign](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/donald-trump-running-for-president-2024.html) took the sellers to a private room to give it a closer look. Ashleyโ€™s diary entries, written in 2019 while she was in and out of treatment for substance abuse in South Florida, were searingly personal. Harris and Kurlander thought its contents could be damaging to the Democratic nomineeโ€™s image as a family man. Kurlander predicted it would be worth โ€œa SHIT TON of money.โ€ + +The next morning, an armada of pleasure craft set sail with Roger Stone aboard its flagship. Don Jr. and Guilfoyle waved from the stern of a blue Hinckley yacht. A few days later, Kurlander reported bad news from his contacts with the Trump campaign. โ€œThey want it to go to the FBI,โ€ he texted Harris. He said there was โ€œNO WAYโ€ Trump could use the diary. โ€œIt has to be done a different way.โ€ Luckily, Kurlander and Harris had a backup bidder, one in the habit of pushing the boundaries of journalism in pursuit of his idea of the truth. + +[**James Oโ€™Keefe**](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/04/what-james-okeefe-wont-say-about-ashley-bidens-diary.html) **III** is the 38-year-old founder of [Project Veritas](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/04/what-james-okeefe-wont-say-about-ashley-bidens-diary.html), a media organization whose methods he has described as โ€œone-third intelligence operation, one-third investigative reporting, and one-third *Borat.*โ€ He is a conservative sting artist whose hidden-camera investigations typically target people working for Democratic campaigns and liberal institutions. His subjects invariably cry foul, claiming that Project Veritas twisted their words. But Oโ€™Keefeโ€™s information warfare enthralls his fans on the right and fattens his nonprofit organizationโ€™s bank accounts. + +The diary, though, was something different from the material he usually dealt with. It was a stolen document, the product of a crime. In time, it would become the object of an FBI investigation that has already resulted in [felony guilty pleas by Harris and Kurlander](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/08/pair-pleads-guilty-to-stealing-biden-daughters-diary.html) and reached inside Project Veritas, prying open its drawers and inboxes and peering into its unorthodox reporting practices. Oโ€™Keefe, in turn, has wrapped himself in the First Amendment, claiming the FBI probe into his newsgathering threatens legal protections journalists rely upon. + +Much meaningful journalism arises out of information that is stolen, hacked, or illegally leaked. The New York *Times* obtained [Donald Trumpโ€™s tax returns](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/09/key-takeaways-from-the-times-trump-tax-return-investigation.html) from a (presumably) unauthorized source, the [Panama Papers](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/05/how-mark-hollingsworth-got-access-to-the-panama-papers.html) contain private bank data, and [WikiLeaks](https://nymag.com/tags/wikileaks/) disclosed classified secrets. The [Pentagon Papers](https://nymag.com/tags/pentagon-papers/) โ€” the subject of arguably the most important modern Supreme Court precedent on press freedom โ€” were stolen by [Daniel Ellsberg](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2017/11/daniel-ellsberg-on-the-doomsday-machine.html) and passed to the *Times,* which went to elaborate lengths to copy and analyze them without alerting the government. Oโ€™Keefe contends that he is just as much a journalist as the reporters who broke those stories. And as agonizing as it may be for self-respecting journalists to admit, he may be right, at least from a legal perspective. In his fight with the Department of Justice and the FBI, Oโ€™Keefe has rallied some unusual allies, including the American Civil Liberties Union. + +Ben Wizner, the director of the ACLUโ€™s Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, says the hard case of Oโ€™Keefe may result in bad law that hampers investigative reporting. โ€œThereโ€™s a real danger,โ€ Wizner says, โ€œthat the Oโ€™Keefes and the Assanges will result in a new rule book that makes public-interest journalism hard to do.โ€ + +Oโ€™Keefe first found fame in the early days of the Obama administration, when he conducted a sting that caused the implosion of the community-organizing group ACORN. He appears in those videos as a 145-pound beanpole in a pimp costume that incorporated his grandmotherโ€™s chinchilla shawl. These days, Oโ€™Keefe is muscled up, preferring slim, tailored suits and styling himself like a gonzo James Bond. And Project Veritas is no longer a small punk operation. In 2020, the 501(c)(3) had around 50 employees and a budget of more than $22 million, largely funded by anonymous donations from wealthy Republicans eager to see Oโ€™Keefe torment Democrats, teachers unions, the lying media, and other objects of conservative animus. (One former employee passed me a photo of a $75,000 check to the organization enclosed in a card that was inscribed GO GET THE NYT AND RANDI WEINGARTEN.) Oโ€™Keefe draws a salary of around $400,000 a year and keeps a sailboat called *Lucky Charm III* at a yacht club on Long Island Sound. + +Oโ€™Keefe discussing the ACORN sting on Fox News in 2009. Photo: Fox News + +In September 2020, Fagoโ€™s daughter called the Project Veritas tip line, saying she knew someone in possession of Ashley Bidenโ€™s diary. โ€œI think itโ€™s worth taking a look at,โ€ the tipster said, according to a legal filing. She described its contents as โ€œpretty crazy.โ€ The job of investigating the tip fell to two Veritas employees, who, like all of Oโ€™Keefeโ€™s UCJs (short for โ€œundercover journalistsโ€), went by code names in the office. โ€œPeter Panโ€ (real name Eric Cochran) was an elfin former software engineer at Pinterest. His supervisor was Spencer Meads, a square-jawed Patriots fan who went by โ€œBrady.โ€ + +According to prosecutors, Kurlander and Project Veritas had an initial phone call on September 10. Meads allegedly instructed him to communicate via the encrypted-chat app Telegram. Kurlander used it to send photos of the diary to the organization, and Project Veritas allegedly paid for Kurlander and Harris to fly to New York for negotiations. + +โ€œLetโ€™s have fun!!!!!โ€ Kurlander texted Harris before the trip. โ€œAnd make money.โ€ + +Harris, then 38, was counting on a windfall. As a younger woman, she had played in the Palm Beach social scene and dated heirs to old fortunes, but she ran into personal trouble after the births of her two children and an ugly paternity-and-custody battle with their father. Between 2019 and 2020, Harris moved from one unstable living situation to another. In June 2020, a former boyfriend offered to let her stay at his place, a stucco house with a pool in Delray Beach. Ashley Biden happened to have moved out of the spare bedroom just a couple days before, returning to Philadelphia to be close to her fatherโ€™s campaign headquarters, and left some of her stuff behind. (Representatives for the White House and Ashley Biden declined to comment for this article.) + +Where Harris discovered the diary, and how, remains unexplained. In one version of events she has given, it was in the garage, discarded like junk; in other retellings, it was under a bed in the guest room, maybe stowed in a piece of luggage, or maybe jammed between the mattress and the box spring. Ashley Biden had left things in storage in the house with the permission of her former roommate, according to the Feds. Whatever the case, Harris found the journal and decided to read it. + +There was little in the diary that could be considered political. It delved into the authorโ€™s relationships with her husband, her parents, and her half-brothers, Beau and Hunter, one of whom had died and the other of whom was broken and going through his own cycle of recovery and relapse. Much of the diary was filled with self-help exhortations and the raw confessions of a vulnerable addict. By the time Harris got to Project Veritas, word of the diaryโ€™s existence had already made its way around the conservative-news ecosystem. โ€œIt was on the quote-unquote market to, I guess you could say, the right-wing dark lords,โ€ says one news producer at an organization that was offered the diary and wasnโ€™t interested. Even Joe Bidenโ€™s greatest adversaries flinched when it came to doing something so inherently invasive as publishing a diary. + +When the book fell into Oโ€™Keefeโ€™s hands, though, he was willing to take a peek. โ€œHe always wants to provide the October surprise,โ€ says a former employee. The content Project Veritas produced reflected the preoccupations of its audience. Recurring topics included phantom election fraud, COVID-vaccine conspiracies, and leftist indoctrination in schools. One entry looked particularly likely to resonate with the right. The diarist had made a list of childhood memories, some of them uncertain and dreamlike, of various forms of early sexual awareness. One of them read, โ€œshowers w/ my dad (probably not appropriate).โ€ Nowhere in the text is it suggested that Joe Biden abused his daughter. But when ripped from its original context and shorn of its authorโ€™s intent, the mention of โ€œshowersโ€ could be made to look disgusting, even accusatory, and Oโ€™Keefe excels at creative framing. + +Project Veritas gave the investigation a code name: Sting Ray. Meads, a longtime friend of Oโ€™Keefeโ€™s who had worked for Project Veritas on and off for nearly a decade, met with Harris and Kurlander at their Manhattan hotel shortly after Labor Day. They allegedly handed over the diary as well as a digital camera with a storage card containing Biden-family photographs. Project Veritas allegedly agreed to pay $10,000 for the material and promised more if the investigation progressed. But first, Meads said, Project Veritas would need to see other personal items that belonged to Ashley Biden to confirm that the diary was really hers. + +Kurlander texted Harris afterward that โ€œanything worthwhileโ€ would need โ€œto be turned over and MUST be out of that house.โ€ He assured her that the first $10,000 was just a down payment. โ€œIโ€™m expecting that theyโ€™re gonna pay up to $100,000 each maybe more,โ€ Kurlander texted Harris, if the story โ€œdoes turn into something good or blockbusting.โ€ Then he added a note of caution. He warned Harris that Project Veritas was โ€œtrying to make a storyโ€ that would โ€œruinโ€ Ashley Bidenโ€™s life and potentially help Trump to win. โ€œWe have to tread even more carefully,โ€ Kurlander texted. + +Project Veritas continued to try to authenticate the diary. In mid-September, Meads allegedly traveled to Florida in order to retrieve tax documents, clothing, and other items Ashley Biden had left at the house. Seeking further confirmation, Project Veritas tried to reach Ashley through one of her friends, according to its legal filings. Cochran ended up talking to someone who identified herself as Ashley. Posing as a vagrant who had stumbled onto the diary, he spoke to her from a Project Veritas conference room as Oโ€™Keefe and other staffers watched and a video camera recorded the interaction, according to sources familiar with the phone call. Cochran began to read sensitive diary passages aloud, and the woman on the phone reacted emotionally, demanding that he stop and return her personal papers right away. + +The phone call convinced Project Veritas the diary was real. Still, Oโ€™Keefe hesitated to publish it. He was pitiless when it came to exposing what he considered to be politically relevant misbehavior and hypocrisy, but even he had qualms about outing the addiction and innermost thoughts of a politicianโ€™s family member. He held long meetings with his key staff, who were divided on whether the story fit the organizationโ€™s mission. He worried it might be seen as a cheap shot, and he sought advice from other conservative-media figures. + +On October 12, Oโ€™Keefe sent out an email: + +> *Team,* +> +> *Iโ€™ve thought carefully on whether to release this so-called โ€˜Sting Rayโ€™ story which involve*\[*s*\] *entries in a personal diary to a very public figure.* +> +> *My thinking and analysis in short is this:* +> +> *To release means the action is less wrong than the necessary wrongs that would follow if the information were not utilized and published. But in this case even more harm would be done to the person in question and Project Veritas if we were to release the piece. We have no doubt that the document is real, but it is impossible to corroborate the allegation further.* + +After an angry internal backlash from staff, however, Project Veritas resumed work on the story. The organization reportedly reached out to the Biden campaign to request an on-camera interview with the candidate about the diary and its contents. The campaign kicked the issue over to Ashley Bidenโ€™s lawyers, who advised Project Veritas that โ€œserious crimesโ€ might have been committed. The back-and-forth culminated with one of Ashleyโ€™s attorneys, Roberta Kaplan, writing, โ€œThis is insane; we should send to SDNY.โ€ The same day, according to an internal FBI report later leaked to Project Veritas, the bureauโ€™s field office in the Southern District of New York secretly opened a criminal investigation, which would not remain secret for long. + +As Oโ€™Keefe debated whether to publish, other news outlets began to look into the story. On October 24, a website called National File posted an article headlined โ€œEXCLUSIVE SOURCE: Biden Daughterโ€™s Diary Details โ€˜Not Appropriateโ€™ Showers With Joe As Child.โ€ Two days later, the site published a PDF copy of the diary. National File is run by Noel Fritsch, a North Carolina political consultant who has worked for some of the most extreme candidates on the right. He claims his copy of the diary leaked from Project Veritas. โ€œA whistleblower from the inside was basically disgruntled,โ€ Fritsch says. โ€œThey knew that it was verified, and they were ticked off.โ€ + +Hardly anyone noticed the National File stories, but former Project Veritas employees say Oโ€™Keefe was enraged by the suspected leak. One claims he demanded that some staff take polygraph tests. He apparently decided to quietly get rid of the diary. On the Sunday after the election, a Florida lawyer showed up at the Delray Beach Police Department and said he had come across some โ€œpossibly stolenโ€ property. He showed an officer two pieces of luggage containing various envelopes and documents labeled with the name ASHLEY BIDEN. + +The Delray Beach cops called the FBI, and a few hours later, a special agent came to collect the bags. + +Although Project Veritas never used the diary, it paid a total of $40,000 to Harris and Kurlander. The money was evenly split between them, and the final payment was made on October 24, the same day National File published its first story. The $20,000 allotted to Harris was paid directly to the lawyers in her custody case. Fago was invited to the White House for Election Night 2020. Don Jr. and Guilfoyle soon ended up buying a mansion in Jupiter with Fagoโ€™s son acting as their broker. That December, before leaving office, Donald Trump appointed Fago to the nonpartisan National Cancer Advisory Board. When Biden removed her, she told an industry newsletter that he was a โ€œsenile old creep.โ€ + +**Oโ€™Keefe grew up** in the suburban town of Westwood, New Jersey, where he was a member of his high schoolโ€™s slam-poetry club, played the lead in the Gershwin musical *Crazy for You,* and was the boy voted โ€œBest Dancerโ€ in the class of 2002. He has never completely given up his theatrical dreams. In August 2021, he relocated to a town in rural Virginia to act in a musical, taking a lead role in a production of *Oklahoma!* The director, Brian Clowdus, staged the production as an โ€œimmersiveโ€ experience on a working farm and filled the cast with self-described victims of cancellation. โ€œHeโ€™s this strapping, handsome guy; heโ€™s super-charming, a little bit cheesy,โ€ Clowdus says of Oโ€™Keefe. โ€œHe sort of *is* Curly.โ€ + +Some key Project Veritas employees were stationed in a rented office nearby so Oโ€™Keefe could continue working. A camera crew from the nonprofit filmed rehearsals and promotional videos. Clowdus said the nonprofit brought in staffers and supporters from all over to watch the show. Oโ€™Keefe rode up on a dappled white horse and belted out, โ€œOh, what a beautiful morninโ€™!โ€‰/โ€‰Oh, what a beautiful day!โ€ + +In reality, Oโ€™Keefeโ€™s outlook was anything but sunny during the first year of the Biden administration. A number of high-level Project Veritas staff quit or were fired amid what former employees described as dissension over Oโ€™Keefeโ€™s management and spending on indulgences like his summer theater expedition. The failed Sting Ray operation had generated an atmosphere of stress and suspicion. Meads and Cochran left their jobs. At a barbecue attended by staff, two individuals who were present say that Oโ€™Keefe broke down and curled up into a fetal position. โ€œHeโ€™s bawling, crying out loud, like, hysterically,โ€ says one of the witnesses. โ€œNo one would talk about it, but then it came out afterward that he was so overwhelmed by the diary thing.โ€ + +โ€œAnything that happened at that moment in time had nothing to do with the diary, itโ€™s just factually incorrect,โ€ Oโ€™Keefe told me in response. โ€œUse common sense. Why would I be curled in a fetal position? There was no diary fallout prior to the fall of 2021.โ€ By that October, Oโ€™Keefe and his attorneys had become aware that the FBI was asking questions. + +Before dawn on the morning of November 4, 2021, Eric Cochran was awakened by a loud banging. He came to the door of his residence in Mamaroneck, carrying a recording device in his hand. + +*Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!* + +โ€œOpen up!โ€ a gruff voice barked from the other side of the door. + +โ€œIโ€™m sorry, sir,โ€ Cochran said. โ€œWhat is this regarding?โ€ + +โ€œThis is a search warrant.โ€ + +Around the same time, in Murray Hill, an FBI team bashed its way through the door to Spencer Meadsโ€™s apartment with a battering ram. He and a roommate were handcuffed, and around a dozen agents searched the apartment and confiscated his work phone, among other devices. The search warrants were the first overt signal of a criminal investigation. + +The day after the searches, Project Veritas shared a video with its 1.5 million YouTube subscribers. โ€œBy making this statement, I am putting myself at great risk,โ€ Oโ€™Keefe said as he stood in front of a fireplace, a few law books stacked conspicuously on the mantel. In vague terms, he described how Project Veritas had obtained the diary from โ€œtipstersโ€ who indicated it โ€œincluded explosive allegations against then-candidate Joe Biden.โ€ He claimed his reporters had been unable to authenticate the document, leading him to kill the story. โ€œOur efforts were the stuff of responsible, ethical journalism, and we are in no doubt that Project Veritas acted properly at each and every step,โ€ Oโ€™Keefe said. โ€œHowever, it appears journalism itself may now be on trial.โ€ + +The following morning, FBI agents served another search warrant, this time on [Oโ€™Keefeโ€™s apartment](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/11/fbi-probes-project-veritas-over-ashley-bidens-stolen-diary.html), handcuffed him, and pulled him into the hallway in his underwear. + +Oโ€™Keefe at a Turning Point USA conference in Arizona in December 2022. Photo: Brian Cahn/ZUMA Press Wire + +**The immediate** response from Project Veritas came in the form of another video, in which Oโ€™Keefe sits in an armchair next to a crackling fire, smoking a cigar and reading aloud from *1984.* He appeared to have realized that the raid would kindle immediate outrage, not only from allies like Tucker Carlson โ€” who called it โ€œtotally Third Worldโ€ โ€” but also from mainstream media organizations that regard Oโ€™Keefe with contempt in other contexts. If the FBI could bang on his door, whom might it visit next? + +First Amendment advocacy organizations rallied to the defense of Oโ€™Keefeโ€™s rights, if not his behavior. โ€œItโ€™s not about judging the morality or the motives of the publisher,โ€ says Wizner of the ACLU, which joined the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press in filing motions to force the government to disclose its evidence justifying the warrants. Project Veritas is currently seeking to limit or suppress the governmentโ€™s use of information obtained from the 47 phones, laptops, memory sticks, and other digital devices the FBI seized. The issue is with a court-appointed special master, who is sifting through the digital evidence. But it later emerged in legal filings that, even before the searches, the government had been probing Project Veritas through other means. Beginning in November 2020, the FBI had obtained a series of sealed subpoenas and warrants for data stored on the organizationโ€™s Microsoft servers, including Oโ€™Keefeโ€™s own emails. + +During the last year of the Trump administration, the Justice Department used similar warrants to obtain remotely stored data from journalists working at the *Times,* the Washington *Post,* and CNN in the course of leak investigations. When those warrants were revealed in 2021, President Biden condemned them as โ€œsimply, simply wrong,โ€ and Attorney General Merrick Garland announced a new policy that broadly prohibits searches aimed at news organizations and their work. + +In a legal filing, prosecutors argued that Project Veritas was not entitled to such legal deference, contending that it does not engage โ€œin journalism within any traditional or accepted definition of that wordโ€ because its reporting is done via โ€œunlawful, unethical and/or dishonest means.โ€ Jeffrey Lichtman, a veteran criminal-defense attorney whom Oโ€™Keefe recently retained to represent him in the diary case, told me, โ€œItโ€™s utter bullshit. Nobody can with a straight face say that Project Veritas is not a news organization.โ€ Lichtman pointed out that Oโ€™Keefeโ€™s videos often lead to consequences like independent investigations and firings. + +โ€œJames has made a lot of high-ranking government officials nervous with his undercover reporting and his exposure of corruption at the highest levels of government,โ€ Lichtman says. โ€œAnd the need to silence him is why this bogus investigation of an abandoned diary even exists.โ€ + +First Amendment advocates contend that in seeking to divide the real journalists from the posers, prosecutors are making irrelevant distinctions. โ€œAt the end of the day, it doesnโ€™t really matter if someone is a journalist or not,โ€ says Katie Townsend, legal director for the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. The question, she says, is โ€œAre they engaged in news-gathering activities?โ€ + +By Oโ€™Keefeโ€™s own account, though, his organizationโ€™s methods can look a lot like something less defensible: political espionage. His 2018 book, *American Pravda,* begins with an early meeting with Donald Trump and shows how far he was willing to go to serve Trumpโ€™s political interests. He recounts a six-month undercover operation that Project Veritas staged against organizations doing fieldwork for Hillary Clintonโ€™s 2016 campaign. One operative posed as a Democratic donor hoping to find someone to carry out a voter-fraud scheme he had concocted, and another, playing his โ€œniece,โ€ secured an internship in the Washington office occupied by a consulting firm called Democracy Partners, where she taped all of her interactions using a camera disguised as a shirt button. Project Veritas never caught Democrats participating in or admitting to election fraud, but some of the marks talked bluntly about disrupting Republican events. Trump brought the videos up in his final debate with Clinton. Oโ€™Keefe, who was in attendance, was thrilled. + +At the debate, Oโ€™Keefe later testified in a deposition, he met [Erik Prince](https://nymag.com/tags/erik-prince/), the founder of the military contractor [Blackwater](https://nymag.com/tags/blackwater/) and the brother of [Betsy DeVos](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2017/07/betsy-devos-secretary-of-education.html), who became Trumpโ€™s Education secretary. Prince soon became a key Project Veritas supporter. According to the *Times* and the Intercept, Prince arranged for Oโ€™Keefe and his operatives to receive training in โ€œelicitationโ€ and other tools of spycraft. The nonprofit reportedly hired a Prince associate, a former MI-6 agent, to run its fieldwork and assigned a group of female operatives to gather information about institutions including the FBI for a series called *Deep State: Unmasked.* They sought a route in through dating apps, matching up with men and chatting them up about their workplaces over drinks and dinners. + +Such โ€œTinder operationsโ€ have become one of the organizationโ€™s primary reporting methods in recent years. Oโ€™Keefe allegedly instructed his staffers to read *Red Sparrow,* a spy thriller about a beautiful Russian ballerina who uses sex as a weapon. Itโ€™s unclear how successful the operations against the deep state were, and no FBI-related videos ever appeared. Ultimately, Oโ€™Keefe was too ravenous for attention to make a reliable spy โ€” he even tweeted a photo of himself firing a pistol during weapons training on Princeโ€™s ranch. The MI-6 veteran soon left the organization. In March 2020, the *Times* began to publish a series of stories on the Oโ€™Keefe-Prince relationship. + +For years, Oโ€™Keefe had treated the *Times* as a personal adversary, occasionally accosting its editors on the street with cameras. (Dean Baquet, then the paperโ€™s executive editor, returned the sentiment, calling Oโ€™Keefe โ€œdespicable.โ€) In September 2020, a news article presented Oโ€™Keefe with an opportunity to counterattack. A *Times* story suggested that a Project Veritas video involving a supposed ballot โ€œharvestingโ€ scheme inside the Somali community in Minneapolis might be part of a โ€œcoordinated disinformation effort,โ€ according to researchers at two universities. Project Veritas vehemently objected to the allegation and swiftly brought a defamation lawsuit against the *Times* in New York State Court. Oโ€™Keefe often sought shelter behind legal precedents that shield journalists from defamation claims, but he evidently saw no cognitive dissonance. + +The undisguised aim of his lawsuit was to force the *Times* into the legal-discovery process, compelling it to make disclosures about its practices that might support his claim that the paperโ€™s pretense of objectivity masked a partisan agenda. Oโ€™Keefe was so enthusiastic about the strategy that he announced a new initiative, Project Veritas Legal, to bring similar suits. โ€œWe will DEPOSE them. We will EXPOSE them,โ€ the new ventureโ€™s web page declared. In May 2021, to promote Project Veritas Legal, Oโ€™Keefe released an โ€™80s-style dance video for a song called โ€œOligarchy,โ€ set to the tune of Princeโ€™s โ€œControversy.โ€ In it, he swaggers through an office in a tight black T-shirt and does a high-stepping defamation-themed dance routine with about a dozen background dancers before taking a sledgehammer to a bank of TVs. + +That year, Project Veritas spent more than $4.7 million on outside legal fees, over $800,000 of which it paid to Clare Locke, a law firm that specializes in bringing defamation lawsuits and had represented it in the case against the *Times.* Turning the paper into a litigation adversary had a secondary strategic benefit. It allowed Oโ€™Keefe to cast suspicion on its ongoing coverage of his organization โ€” and perhaps give potential turncoats reason for pause if contacted by reporters. Yet the *Times* continued its coverage, and in November 2021, days after the FBI searches, the paper reported on a series of memos written by Project Veritas lawyers offering guidance on its Tinder operations. The memos raised the possibility that secretly recording government employees with security clearances could lead to violations of the Espionage Act. + +After the story appeared, Oโ€™Keefe and his attorneys went ballistic, arguing โ€” with a straight face โ€” that the *Times* had no right to publish his improperly obtained documents. Project Veritas sought a temporary injunction from the New York State Court in its civil-defamation case, asking the judge to bar the newspaper from seeking or publishing material covered by attorney-client privilege. In a shocking decision, Judge Charles Wood largely sided with Project Veritas and instructed the *Times* to return or destroy the memos. โ€œUndoubtedly, every media outlet believes that anything it publishes is a matter of public concern,โ€ he wrote in the decision. โ€œBut some things are not fodder for public consideration and consumption.โ€ The *Times* editorial board decried the judgeโ€™s โ€œbreathtakingโ€ rationale, saying the decision violated the Supreme Courtโ€™s prohibition on โ€œprior restraintโ€ of the press, which had been established in the Pentagon Papers decision. + +Meanwhile, the whole question of whether Oโ€™Keefe is a journalist or a dirty trickster appears to be a nonissue to prosecutors handling the diary investigation. โ€œVeritas is attacking this as a First Amendment case,โ€ says an attorney familiar with the diary investigation, โ€œand the government is treating it as a stolen-property case.โ€ In August, Harris and Kurlander pleaded guilty to stealing the diary and other property belonging to Ashley Biden and conspiring to transport it across state lines. Kurlander called his actions โ€œwrong and awfulโ€ in court and agreed to cooperate with the FBI. Oโ€™Keefeโ€™s attorneys have claimed that he believed the diary had been abandoned, not stolen, but that even if Harris and Kurlander now admit to theft, Project Veritas is protected under the Supreme Court decision *Bartnicki* v. *Vopper.* This precedent says journalists cannot be held responsible for their sourcesโ€™ crimes so long as they do not actively participate in them. That last bit could end up being the fatal catch. + +Although thereโ€™s nothing illegal about paying sources โ€” it is done openly by tabloids and more discreetly by many television news programs โ€” the pattern of transactions in the diary case makes it appear as if Project Veritas offered additional money for the authenticating material. โ€œThatโ€™s what gets people in trouble,โ€ says Cameron Stracher, an attorney who has represented the *National Enquirer.* Accepting stolen material is one thing; asking for more of it starts to look like a conspiracy. โ€œEven nudge-nudge, wink-wink can be a crime,โ€ he says. If that proves to be the case, the irony here will be rich. After all its playing with truth, Project Veritas may be undone by its own fact-checking. + +Oโ€™Keefe as Santa Claus, promoting his defamation lawsuit outside the New York *Times* in December 2022. Photo: Project Veritas/YouTube + +**In January 2022,** to celebrate the publication of his third book, *American Muckraker,* Oโ€™Keefe threw what he billed โ€œthe event of the centuryโ€ at the Fontainebleau hotel in Miami Beach. The book is written largely in the third person and threaded with quotes from Soviet dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. โ€œRebellion against the system will inevitably cause the muckraker a fair share of pain, political persecution, even prosecution,โ€ Oโ€™Keefe writes, โ€œso piercing, so excruciating, that his continuation down this path risks crossing the line into masochism.โ€ At the party, though, he seemed to be reveling in the threat of the Gulag. According to *Rolling Stone,* Oโ€™Keefe wore aviator glasses and a black PRESS flak vest as backup dancers in FBI windbreakers bounced to Lady Gagaโ€™s โ€œBad Romance.โ€ + +Neither Oโ€™Keefe nor anyone else from Project Veritas has been charged with a crime, but over the past year, the pressure has grown only more intense. The New York State Court injunction in the defamation case was lifted by an appeals court, and the *Times* has continued to report on Project Veritas and the Ashley Biden diary. In November, in a sign that the federal criminal investigation may be taking a more serious turn, Oโ€™Keefe added Lichtman and another experienced New York criminal defense lawyer to his already large legal team. (Lichtmanโ€™s former clients include John Gotti Jr. and the Mexican drug kingpin Joaquรญn โ€œEl Chapoโ€ Guzmรกn.) + +The many people Oโ€™Keefe has burned in the past have watched this turn of events with vengeful excitement. โ€œI have spent time, sweat, tears, trying to expose this motherfucker so other people donโ€™t have to go through what my partners and I went through,โ€ says Lauren Windsor, a member of Democracy Partners, the firm whose office was infiltrated by a fake intern in 2016. Windsor, who has likened the experience to โ€œpsychological rape,โ€ started a website called Project Veritas Exposed to list names and photos of known Oโ€™Keefe employees and associates, helping to alert other Democrats and, in one case, to set up a counter-sting on the operative who played the intern. + +Other Project Veritas targets have used litigation to open its internal workings to public scrutiny. A pending civil lawsuit between Project Veritas and the Michigan branch of the American Federation of Teachers resulted in disclosures that helped to bring the Erik Prince relationship to light. This past September, a federal jury in Washington found Project Veritas liable for fraudulent misrepresentation in its operation against Democracy Partners and awarded the plaintiffs $120,000, though Oโ€™Keefe is appealing the verdict. A third cluster of lawsuits pits Project Veritas against a group of aggrieved former employees. In a neat twist of fate, the ex-employees are represented by a labor lawyer named Arthur Schwartz, a self-described โ€œBernie guyโ€ who used to be the general counsel for ACORN โ€” the organization destroyed by the sting that launched Oโ€™Keefeโ€™s career. + +Schwartzโ€™s primary client is Antonietta Zappier, a former administrative assistant for Project Veritas. A grandmother and part-time DJ, Zappier found the job through word of mouth at her beauty salon. According to her complaint, her tasks included signing Oโ€™Keefeโ€™s name to โ€œautographedโ€ books, doing his laundry, and delivering a spare key when he was locked out of his apartment, sometimes in the middle of the night. On one occasion, the suit alleges, Zappier was asked to bring cleaning supplies to Oโ€™Keefeโ€™s sailboat because someone had defecated on the deck during a party. (โ€œNo one defecated on the deck,โ€ a Project Veritas attorney stated in an email.) Zappier claims Oโ€™Keefe presided over a sexualized workplace, surrounding himself with staffers he referred to as PYTs โ€” short for โ€œpretty young things.โ€ (โ€œIt is incorrect that any staffer was referred to as โ€˜PYTs,โ€™โ€ the attorney said.) She alleges that employees drank and had sex in the office and used drugs in a nearby corporate apartment, and she claims that when complaints were raised, Oโ€™Keefe replied, โ€œHumans gonna be human.โ€ (The attorney called this an โ€œinaccurate anecdote.โ€) Zappier contends she was fired after she rejected a co-workerโ€™s repeated advances, which allegedly included an incident in which he groped and kissed her at the office Christmas party in 2021. She filed an employment-discrimination lawsuit in August 2022. + +Other former employees, who asked not to be identified for fear of violating nondisclosure agreements, backed up Zappierโ€™s portrayal of the organization and described a wildly paranoid atmosphere where anyone might be a mole and everyone might be on tape. โ€œWouldnโ€™t you think that the investigative undercover-reporting people would have cameras inside their offices?โ€ a former employee named Patrice Thibodeau, who claims to have worked on undercover operations in Washington, said in a YouTube video he posted in December. (He left the job to pursue a career in adult film under the name Jean Jacque the Cock.) Purges have caused leaks that divulged information that Project Veritas labors to keep confidential. Some of the nonprofitโ€™s most tightly guarded secrets involve its donors. Under the federal tax code, it is not required to disclose their names to the public. In recent years, a substantial percentage of the organizationโ€™s funding has come from Donors Trust, a nonprofit entity that allows individuals to give money to causes beneath an extra layer of anonymity. Previous reports have tied Oโ€™Keefe to Trump-aligned billionaires like Peter Thiel and Robert Mercer. (Both later distanced themselves.) In the course of my reporting, I obtained an authentic-looking internal Project Veritas fundraising spreadsheet that lists many well-known financiers and business executives. In December, a Twitter account named @VeritasInsider appeared and began tweeting some of the same (unconfirmable) names, along with the supposed identities of undercover operatives and scurrilous office gossip. + +Schwartz has brought a second lawsuit, a class action, on behalf of Zappier, Thibodeau, and four other former employees, alleging that Project Veritas was an oppressive employer and illegally cheated workers out of overtime. The company has denied the allegations in both employment lawsuits and filed its own suits against Zappier and Thibodeau. It claims it terminated Zappier โ€œdue to a pattern of conduct evincing a lack of judgment, professionalism, and responsibility.โ€ (She was fired, her suit says, the same day her husband had a hostile confrontation with a Project Veritas undercover operative.) The nonprofit further alleges that subsequent investigations found thousands of dollars in unauthorized Uber and takeout-food costs charged to a company credit card. (Schwartz says Zappier made the purchases for Project Veritas and Oโ€™Keefe himself at her bossโ€™s direction in her capacity as an office administrator.) Project Veritas separately accuses Thibodeau of violating the terms of his NDA by revealing proprietary secrets in his YouTube videos. + +Oโ€™Keefe has said hidden cameras are a tool to uncover the truths people utter when they think theyโ€™re among friends and maintains that his operatives have never forced anyone to say anything. โ€œAs the experienced muckraker understands,โ€ he writes in his most recent book, regarding Windsor and others, โ€œthe appropriate metaphor here is not rape, but consensual sex.โ€ Oโ€™Keefeโ€™s defenders say his decision not to publish the Biden diary demonstrates his ethical standards. If anything, the ongoing federal criminal investigation has elevated the standing of Project Veritas on the right. Representative Jim Jordan, the incoming chairman of the new House select committee investigating the โ€œweaponization of the federal government,โ€ has signaled his intent to scrutinize the Justice Departmentโ€™s conduct in the Ashley Biden case. + +โ€œWhen you send Oโ€™Keefe to jail, youโ€™ve only strengthened his image as a fighter of regime corruption,โ€ says Vish Burra, a former producer of Steve Bannonโ€™s *War Room* podcast who recently went to work for an aide to the embattled New York Republican representative George Santos. โ€œYouโ€™re only serving the brand.โ€ Of course, Oโ€™Keefe is the one who would have to do the time. Meanwhile, he still has to run an organization funded by donors who may have less tolerance for legal conflict. Recently, Project Veritas announced a round of layoffs and advertised openings for key jobs, including chief development officer and general counsel. The organizationโ€™s stings last election season were not exactly October surprises. Story subjects included an advance staffer for Mayor Eric Adams who said impolitic things about his boss and the police on dates with an undercover operative; a Greenwich elementary-school assistant principal who boasted (falsely, his attorney claims) on a date that he used his authority to screen out conservative job applicants; and the twin sister of Katie Hobbs (now the Democratic governor of Arizona), who appeared to be targeted mainly because the two look *exactly alike*. + +Project Veritas has always been a one-man show, and lately, its content has increasingly come to reflect the interests and grudges of its dominating founder. He regularly attacks the FBI and Merrick Garland over their conduct in the diary case. A 2021 sting caught *Times* national security reporter Matthew Rosenberg complaining over drinks that some of his younger colleagues had exaggerated the scale of the danger they faced inside the Capitol on January 6. And he is always spoiling for new fights. In a video the organization posted in December, Oโ€™Keefe is shown smugly provoking protesters outside the Park Avenue holiday gala of the New York Young Republican Club. โ€œWhatโ€™s racist about Project Veritas?โ€ Oโ€™Keefe asks in a second clip of the confrontation. โ€œWeโ€™re journalists; weโ€™re exposing.โ€ + +Inside the ballroom, Oโ€™Keefe mingled with other MAGA celebrities, including Bannon, Erik Prince, Rudy Giuliani, Roger Stone, and a tieless Don Jr. Oโ€™Keefe looked debonair in his snug tuxedo. During the cocktail hour, an olive sloshed in his martini as he squired around Alexandra Rose, a real-estate agent and cast member on the Netflix reality series *Selling the OC.* + +I approached Oโ€™Keefe to say hello. We had first spoken a couple months before, shortly after I started making calls to people who knew him. He and an aide reacted to my inquiries by pulling a prank, at first posing as sources (unsuccessfully) and then sarcastically asking me to wear a hidden camera to my office. Of course, the exchange was taped and immediately posted to Instagram and YouTube. At the gala, one of Oโ€™Keefeโ€™s aides began to film our interaction on his iPhone. โ€œDid you see our dildoโ€“butt-plug story?โ€ Oโ€™Keefe asked. โ€œYou going to mention that?โ€ It was a recent scoop of theirs: A dean at a prestigious Chicago private school had been caught on-camera talking lightheartedly and explicitly about an (optional) queer sex-education class that took place during the schoolโ€™s Pride Week. + +โ€œWhy is it that all of these journalists are attacking me?โ€ Oโ€™Keefe asked. โ€œPeople are so distrustful of media, rightfully so. Because media seems to be defending power and acting in a symbiotic relationship with the power structure, as opposed to investigating the power structure. I mean, the FBIโ€™s raid was the most unconstitutional, insane violation, like, ever.โ€ + +At dinner, Oโ€™Keefe was seated at a central table at the front of the room not far from Santos, who was soon to be exposed โ€” though not by Project Veritas โ€” as a serial fabulist. โ€œNow, in schools,โ€ Georgia representative Marjorie Taylor Greene said in her speech, โ€œweโ€™re learning that teachers can pass around dildos, butt plugs, and lube.โ€ She motioned to Oโ€™Keefe. โ€œProject Veritas, ladies and gentlemen.โ€ + +Come Monday, the muckraker was back at work. Oโ€™Keefe stood next to a red bucket in a Santa costume outside the New York *Times* building, performing street theater for the camera, complaining of defamation and handing out little bags of coal. + +- [What Project Veritas Founder James Oโ€™Keefe Wonโ€™t Say](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/04/what-james-okeefe-wont-say-about-ashley-bidens-diary.html) +- [FBI Raids James Oโ€™Keefeโ€™s Apartment Amid Probe Over Ashley Bidenโ€™s Stolen Diary](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/11/fbi-probes-project-veritas-over-ashley-bidens-stolen-diary.html) + +[See All](https://nymag.com/tags/project-veritas) + +Will Ashley Bidenโ€™s Stolen Diary Take Down Project Veritas? + +  +  + +--- +`$= dv.el('center', 'Source: ' + dv.current().Link + ', ' + dv.current().Date.toLocaleString("fr-FR"))` \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/00.03 News/Will the Bush Dynasty Die With George P.

Why arenโ€™t more women offered it? + +Credit...Marta Blue for The New York Times + +- Published Feb. 1, 2023Updated Feb. 5, 2023, 10:44 a.m. ET + +### Listen to This Article + +*To hear more audio stories from publications like The New York Times,* [*download Audm for iPhone or Android*](https://www.audm.com/?utm_source=nytmag&utm_medium=embed&utm_campaign=vicious_cycle_dominus)*.* + +For the past two or three years, many of my friends, women mostly in their early 50s, have found themselves in an unexpected state of suffering. The cause of their suffering was something they had in common, but that did not make it easier for them to figure out what to do about it, even though they knew it was coming: It was menopause. + +The symptoms they experienced were varied and intrusive. Some lost hours of sleep every night, disruptions that chipped away at their mood, their energy, the vast resources of good will that it takes to parent and to partner. One friend endured weeklong stretches of menstrual bleeding so heavy that she had to miss work. Another friend was plagued by as many as 10 hot flashes a day; a third was so troubled by her flights of anger, their intensity new to her, that she sat her 12-year-old son down to explain that she was not feeling right โ€” that there was this thing called menopause and that she was going through it. Another felt a pervasive dryness in her skin, her nails, her throat, even her eyes โ€” as if she were slowly calcifying. + +Then last year, I reached the same state of transition. Technically, it is known as perimenopause, the biologically chaotic phase leading up to a womanโ€™s last period, when her reproductive cycle makes its final, faltering runs. The shift, which lasts, on average, four years, typically starts when women reach their late 40s, the point at which the egg-producing sacs of the ovaries start to plummet in number. In response, some hormones โ€” among them estrogen and progesterone โ€” spike and dip erratically, their usual signaling systems failing. During this time, a womanโ€™s period may be much heavier or lighter than usual. As levels of estrogen, a crucial chemical messenger, trend downward, women are at higher risk for severe depressive symptoms. Bone loss accelerates. In women who have a genetic risk for Alzheimerโ€™s disease, the first plaques are thought to form in the brain during this period. Women often gain weight quickly, or see it shift to their middles, as the body fights to hold onto the estrogen that abdominal fat cells produce. The body is in a temporary state of adjustment, even reinvention, like a machine that once ran on gas trying to adjust to solar power, challenged to find workarounds. + +I knew I was in perimenopause because my period disappeared for months at a time, only to return with no explanation. In the weeks leading up to each period, I experienced abdominal discomfort so extreme that I went for an ultrasound to make sure I didnโ€™t have some ever-growing cyst. At times, hot flashes woke me at night, forcing me straight into the kinds of anxious thoughts that take on ferocious life in the early hours of morning. Even more distressing was the hard turn my memory took for the worse: I was forever blanking on something I said as soon as Iโ€™d said it, chronically groping for words or names โ€” a development apparent enough that people close to me commented on it. I was haunted by a conversation I had with a writer I admired, someone who quit relatively young. At a small party, I asked her why. โ€œMenopause,โ€ she told me without hesitation. โ€œI couldnโ€™t think of the words.โ€ + +> ## โ€˜It suggests that we have a high cultural tolerance for womenโ€™s suffering. Itโ€™s not regarded as important.โ€™ + +My friendsโ€™ reports of their recent doctorsโ€™ visits suggested that there was no obvious recourse for these symptoms. When one friend mentioned that she was waking once nightly because of hot flashes, her gynecologist waved it off as hardly worth discussing. A colleague of mine seeking relief from hot flashes was prescribed bee-pollen extract, which she dutifully took with no result. Another friend who expressed concerns about a lower libido and vaginal dryness could tell that her gynecologist was uncomfortable talking about both. (โ€œI thought, hey, arenโ€™t you a vagina doctor?โ€ she told me. โ€œI use that thing for sex!โ€) + +Their doctorsโ€™ responses prompted me to contemplate a thought experiment, one that is not exactly original but is nevertheless striking. Imagine that some significant portion of the male population started regularly waking in the middle of the night drenched in sweat, a problem that endured for several years. Imagine that those men stumbled to work, exhausted, their morale low, frequently tearing off their jackets or hoodies during meetings and excusing themselves to gulp for air by a window. Imagine that many of them suddenly found sex to be painful, that they were newly prone to urinary-tract infections, with their penises becoming dry and irritable, even showing signs of what their doctors called โ€œatrophy.โ€ Imagine that many of their doctors had received little to no training on how to manage these symptoms โ€” and when the subject arose, sometimes reassured their patients that this process was natural, as if that should be consolation enough. + +Now imagine that there was a treatment for all these symptoms that doctors often overlooked. The scenario seems unlikely, and yet itโ€™s a depressingly accurate picture of menopausal care for women. There is a treatment, hardly obscure, known as menopausal hormone therapy, that eases hot flashes and sleep disruption and possibly depression and aching joints. It decreases the risk of diabetes and protects against osteoporosis. It also helps prevent and treat menopausal genitourinary syndrome, a collection of symptoms, including urinary-tract infections and pain during sex, that affects nearly half of postmenopausal women. + +Image + +![A posed photograph of a middle-aged woman, cropped tightly to show her ear and part of her face, with drops of sweat visible on her face.](https://static01.nyt.com/images/2023/02/05/magazine/05mag-menopause-02/05mag-menopause-02-articleLarge.jpg?quality=75&auto=webp&disable=upscale) + +Credit...Marta Blue for The New York Times + +Menopausal hormone therapy was once the most commonly prescribed treatment in the United States. In the late 1990s, some 15 million women a year were receiving a prescription for it. But in 2002, a single study, its design imperfect, found links between hormone therapy and elevated health risks for women of all ages. Panic set in; in one year, the number of prescriptions plummeted. Hormone therapy carries risks, to be sure, as do many medications that people take to relieve serious discomfort, but dozens of studies since 2002 have provided reassurance that for healthy women under 60 whose hot flashes are troubling them, the benefits of taking hormones outweigh the risks. The treatmentโ€™s reputation, however, has never fully recovered, and the consequences have been wide-reaching. It is painful to contemplate the sheer number of indignities unnecessarily endured over the past 20 years: the embarrassing flights to the bathroom, the loss of precious sleep, the promotions that seemed no longer in reach, the changing of all those drenched sheets in the early morning, the depression that fell like a dark curtain over so many womenโ€™s days. + +About 85 percent of women experience menopausal symptoms. Rebecca Thurston, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh who studies menopause, believes that, in general, menopausal women have been underserved โ€” an oversight that she considers one of the great blind spots of medicine. โ€œIt suggests that we have a high cultural tolerance for womenโ€™s suffering,โ€ Thurston says. โ€œItโ€™s not regarded as important.โ€ + +Even hormone therapy, the single best option that is available to women, has a history that reflects the medical cultureโ€™s challenges in keeping up with science; it also represents a lost opportunity to improve womenโ€™s lives. + +**โ€œEvery woman has** the right โ€” indeed the duty โ€” to counteract the chemical castration that befalls her during her middle years,โ€ the gynecologist Robert Wilson wrote in 1966. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first hormone-therapy drug in 1942, but Wilsonโ€™s blockbuster book, โ€œFeminine Forever,โ€ can be considered a kind of historical landmark โ€” the start of a vexed relationship for women and hormone therapy. The book was bold for its time, in that it recognized sexual pleasure as a priority for women. But it also displayed a frank contempt for aging womenโ€™s bodies and pitched hormones in the service of menโ€™s desires: Women on hormones would be โ€œmore generousโ€ sexually and โ€œeasier to live with.โ€ They would even be less likely to cheat. Within a decade of the bookโ€™s publication, Premarin โ€” a mix of estrogens derived from the urine of pregnant horses โ€” was the fifth-most-prescribed drug in the United States. (Decades later, it was revealed that Wilson received funding from the pharmaceutical company that sold Premarin.) + +In 1975, alarming research halted the rise of the drugโ€™s popularity. Menopausal women who took estrogen had a significantly increased risk of endometrial cancer. Prescriptions dropped, but researchers soon realized that they could all but eliminate the increased risk by prescribing progesterone, a hormone that inhibits the growth of cells in the uterus lining. The number of women taking hormones started rising once again, and continued rising over the next two decades, especially as increasing numbers of doctors came to believe that estrogen protected women from cardiovascular disease. Womenโ€™s heart health was known to be superior to menโ€™s until they hit menopause, at which point their risk for cardiovascular disease quickly skyrocketed to meet that of age-matched men. In 1991, an observational study of 48,000 postmenopausal nurses found that those who took hormones had a 50 percent lower risk of heart disease than those who did not. The same year, an advisory committee suggested to the F.D.A. that โ€œvirtually allโ€ menopausal women might be candidates for hormone therapy. โ€œWhen I started out, I had a slide that said estrogen should be in the water,โ€ recalls Hadine Joffe, a psychiatry professor at Harvard Medical School who studies menopause and mood disorders. โ€œWe thought it was like fluoride.โ€ + +Feminist perspectives on hormone therapy varied. Some perceived it as a way for women to control their own bodies; others saw it as an unnecessary medicalization of a natural process, a superfluous product designed to keep women sexually available and conventionally attractive. For many, the issue lay with its safety: Hormone therapy had already been aggressively marketed to women in the 1960s without sufficient research, and many womenโ€™s health advocates believed that history was repeating itself. The research supporting its health benefits came from observational studies, which meant that the subjects were not randomly assigned to the drug or a placebo. That made it difficult to know if healthier women were choosing hormones or if hormones were making women healthier. Womenโ€™s health advocates, with the support of the feminist congresswoman Patricia Schroeder, called on the National Institutes of Health to run long-term, randomized, controlled trials to determine, once and for all, whether hormones improved womenโ€™s cardiovascular health. + +In 1991, Bernadine Healy, the first woman to serve as director of the N.I.H., started the Womenโ€™s Health Initiative, which remains the largest randomized clinical trial in history to involve only women, studying health outcomes for 160,000 postmenopausal women, some of them over the course of 15 years. Costs for just one aspect of its research, the hormone trial, would eventually run to $260 million. The hormone trial was expected to last about eight years, but in June 2002, word started spreading that one arm of the trial โ€” in which women were given a combination of estrogen and progestin, a synthetic form of progesterone โ€” had been stopped prematurely. Nanette Santoro, a reproductive endocrinologist who had high hopes for hormonesโ€™ benefit on heart health, told me she was so anxious to know why the study was halted that she could barely sleep. โ€œI kept waking my husband up in the middle of the night to say, โ€˜What do you think?โ€™โ€ she recalled. Alas, her husband, an optometrist, could scarcely illuminate the situation. + +> ## โ€˜When I started out, I had a slide that said estrogen should be in the water. We thought it was like fluoride.โ€™ + +Santoro did not have to wait long. On July 9, the Womenโ€™s Health Initiativeโ€™s steering committee organized a major news conference in the ballroom of the National Press Club in Washington to announce both the halting of the study and its findings, a week before the results would be publicly available for doctors to read and interpret. Jaques Rossouw, an epidemiologist who was the acting [director of the W.H.I., told the gathered press that the study had found both adverse effects and benefits of hormone therapy,](https://sp.whi.org/participants/findings/Pages/ht_eplusp_rossouw.aspx) but that โ€œthe adverse effects outweigh and outnumber the benefits.โ€ The trial, Rossouw said, did not find that taking hormones protected women from heart disease, as many had hoped; on the contrary, it found that hormone therapy carried a small but statistically significant increased risk of cardiac events, strokes and clots โ€” as well as an increased risk of breast cancer. He described the increased risk of breast cancer as โ€œvery small,โ€ or more precisely: โ€œless than a tenth of 1 percent per yearโ€ for an individual woman. + +What happened next was an exercise in poor communication that would have profound repercussions for decades to come. Over the next several weeks, researchers and news anchors presented the data in a way that caused panic. On the โ€œTodayโ€ show, Ann Curry interviewed Sylvia Wassertheil-Smoller, an epidemiologist who was one of the chief investigators for the W.H.I. โ€œWhat made it ethically impossible to continue the study?โ€ Curry asked her. Wassertheil-Smoller responded, โ€œWell, in the interest of safety, we found there was an excess risk of breast cancer.โ€ Curry rattled off some startling numbers: โ€œAnd to be very specific here, you actually found that heart disease, the risk increased by 29 percent. The risks of strokes increased by 41 percent. It doubled the risk of blood clots. Invasive breast cancer risk increased by 26 percent.โ€ + +All of those statistics were accurate, but for a lay audience, they were difficult to interpret and inevitably sounded more alarming than was appropriate. The increase in the risk of breast cancer, for example, could also be presented this way: A womanโ€™s risk of having breast cancer between the ages of 50 and 60 is around 2.33 percent. Increasing that risk by 26 percent would mean elevating it to 2.94 percent. (Smoking, by contrast, increases cancer risk by 2,600 percent.) Another way to think about it is that for every 10,000 women who take hormones, an additional eight will develop breast cancer. Avrum Bluming, a co-author of the 2018 book โ€œEstrogen Matters,โ€ emphasized the importance of putting that risk and others in context. โ€œThere is a reported risk of pulmonary embolism among postmenopausal women taking estrogen,โ€ Bluming says. โ€œBut what is โ€˜riskโ€™? The risk of embolism is similar to the risk of being on oral contraceptives or being pregnant.โ€ + +The study itself was designed with what would come to be seen as a major flaw. W.H.I. researchers wanted to be able to measure health outcomes โ€” how many women ended up having strokes, heart attacks or cancer โ€” but those ailments may not show up until women are in their 70s or 80s. The study was scheduled to run for only 8ยฝ years. So they weighted the participants toward women who were already 60 or older. That choice meant that women in their 50s, who tended to be healthier and have more menopausal symptoms, were underrepresented in the study. At the news conference, Rossouw started out by saying that the findings had โ€œbroad applicability,โ€ emphasizing that the trial found no difference in risk by age. It would be years before researchers appreciated just how wrong that was. + +Image + +Credit...Marta Blue for The New York Times + +The โ€œTodayโ€ segment was just one of several media moments that triggered an onslaught of panicked phone calls from women to their doctors. Mary Jane Minkin, a practicing OB-GYN and a clinical professor at Yale School of Medicine, told me she was apoplectic with frustration; she couldnโ€™t reassure her patients, if reassurance was even in order (she came to think it was), because the findings were not yet publicly available. โ€œI remember where I was when John Kennedy was shot,โ€ Minkin says. โ€œI remember where I was on 9/11. And I remember where I was when the W.H.I. findings came out. I got more calls that day than Iโ€™ve ever gotten before or since in my life.โ€ She believes she spoke to at least 50 patients on the day of the โ€œTodayโ€ interview, but she also knows that countless other patients did not bother to call, simply quitting their hormone therapy overnight. + +Within six months, insurance claims for hormone therapy had dropped by 30 percent, and by 2009, they were down by more than 70 percent. JoAnn Manson, chief of the division of preventive medicine at Brigham and Womenโ€™s Hospital and one of the chief investigators in the study, described the fallout as โ€œthe most dramatic sea change in clinical medicine that I have ever seen.โ€ Newsweek characterized the response as โ€œnear panic.โ€ The message that took hold then, and has persisted ever since, was a warped understanding of the research that became a cudgel of a warning: Hormone therapy is dangerous for women. + +**The full picture** of hormone therapy is now known to be far more nuanced and reassuring. When patients tell Stephanie Faubion, the director of the Mayo Clinic Center for Womenโ€™s Health, that theyโ€™ve heard that hormones are dangerous, she has a fairly consistent response. โ€œI sigh,โ€ Faubion told me. She knows she has some serious clarifying to do. + +Faubion, who is also the medical director of the North American Menopause Society (NAMS), an association of menopause specialists, says the first question patients usually ask her is about breast-cancer risk. She explains that in the W.H.I. trial, women who were given a combination of estrogen and progestin saw an increased risk emerge only after five years on hormones โ€” and even after 20 years, the mortality rate of women who took those hormones was no higher than that of the control group. (Some researchers have hope that new formulations of hormone therapy will lessen the risk of breast cancer. One major [observational study published last year suggested so,](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35675607/) but that research is not conclusive.) + +The biggest takeaway from the last two decades of research is that age matters: For women who go through early menopause, before age 45, hormone therapy is recommended because theyโ€™re at greater risk for osteoporosis if they donโ€™t receive hormones up until the typical age of menopause. For healthy women in their 50s, life-threatening events like clots or stroke are rare, and so the increased risks from hormone therapy are also quite low. When Manson, along with Rossouw, did a [reanalysis of the W.H.I. findings,](https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa030808) she found that women under 60 in the trial had no elevated risk of heart disease. + +> ## โ€˜I remember where I was when John Kennedy was shot. I remember where I was on 9/11. And I remember where I was when the W.H.I. findings came out.โ€™ + +The [findings, however, did reveal](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17405972/) greater risks for women who start hormone therapy after age 60. Mansonโ€™s analyses found that women had a small elevated risk of coronary heart disease if they started taking hormones after age 60 and a significant elevated risk if they started after age 70. It was possible, researchers have hypothesized, that hormones may be most effective within a certain window, perpetuating the well-being of systems that are still healthy but accelerating damage in those already in decline. (No research has yet followed women who start in their 50s and stay on continuously into their 60s.) + +Researchers also now have a better appreciation of the benefits of hormone therapy. Even at the time that the W.H.I. findings were released, the data showed at least one clear improvement resulting from hormone therapy: Women had 24 percent fewer fractures. Since then, other positive results have emerged. The incidence of diabetes, for instance, was found to be 20 percent lower in women who took hormones, compared with those who took a placebo. In the W.H.I. trial, women who had hysterectomies โ€” 30 percent of American women by age 60 โ€” were given estrogen alone because they did not need progesterone to protect them from endometrial cancer, and [that group had](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3963523/) [*lower*](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3963523/) [rates of breast cancer than the placebo group.](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3963523/) โ€œNonetheless,โ€ Bluming and his co-author, Carol Tavris, write in โ€œEstrogen Matters,โ€ โ€œwe have yet to see an N.I.H. press conference convened to reassure women of the benefits of estrogen.โ€ Anything short of that, they argue, allows misrepresentations and fears to persist. + +Positive reports about hormone therapy for women in their 50s started emerging as early as 2003, and they have never really slowed. But the revelations have come in a trickle, with no one story gaining the kind of exposure or momentum of the W.H.I. news conference. In 2016, Manson tried to rectify the problem in [an article for The New England Journal of Medicine,](https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmp1514242) issuing a clear course correction of the W.H.I. findings as they pertained to women in their 40s and 50s. Since she published that paper, she feels, attitudes have changed, but too slowly. Manson frequently speaks to the press, and as the years passed โ€” and more data accumulated that suggested the risks were not as alarming as they were first presented โ€” you can almost track her increasing frustration in her public comments. โ€œWomen who would be appropriate candidates are being denied hormone therapy for the treatment of their symptoms,โ€ she told me in a recent interview. She was dismayed that some doctors were not offering relief to women in their 50s on the basis of a study whose average subject age was 63 โ€” and in which the risk assessments were largely driven by women in their 70s. โ€œWeโ€™re talking about literally tens of thousands of clinicians who are reluctant to prescribe hormones.โ€ + +Even with new information, doctors still find themselves in a difficult position. If they rely on the W.H.I., they have the benefit of a gold-standard trial, but one that focused on mostly older women and relied on higher doses and different formulations of hormones from those most often prescribed today. New formulations more closely mimic the natural hormones in a womanโ€™s body. There are also new methods of delivery: Taking hormones via transdermal patch, rather than a pill, allows the medication to bypass the liver, which seems to eliminate the risk of clots. But the studies supporting the safety of newer options are observational; they have not been studied in long-term, randomized, controlled trials. + +The NAMS guidelines emphasize that doctors should make hormone-therapy recommendations based on the personal health history and risk factors of each patient. Many women under 60, or within 10 years of menopause, already have increased baseline risks for chronic disease, because they are already trying to manage their obesity, hypertension, diabetes or high cholesterol. Even so, Faubion says that โ€œthere are few women who have absolute contraindications,โ€ meaning that for them, hormones would be off the table. At highest risk from hormone use are women who have already had a heart attack, breast cancer or a stroke or a blood clot, or women with a cluster of significant health problems. โ€œFor everyone else,โ€ Faubion says, โ€œthe decision has to do with the severity of symptoms as well as personal preferences and level of risk tolerance.โ€ + +For high-risk women, other sources of relief exist: The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor paroxetine is approved for the relief of hot flashes, although it is not as effective as hormone therapy. Cognitive-behavioral therapy has also been shown to help women with how much hot flashes bother them. Doctors who treat menopause are waiting for the F.D.A.โ€™s review of a drug up for approval this month: a nonhormonal drug that would target the complex of neurons thought to be involved in triggering hot flashes. + +Conversations about the risks and benefits of these various treatments often require more time than the usual 15-minute slot that health insurance will typically reimburse for a routine medical visit. โ€œIf I werenโ€™t my own chair, I would be called to task for not doing stuff that would make more money, like delivering babies and I.V.F.,โ€ says Santoro, now the department chair of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, who frequently takes on complex cases of menopausal women. โ€œFamily medicine generally doesnโ€™t want to deal with this, because who wants to have a 45-minute-long conversation with somebody about the risks and benefits of hormone therapy? Because itโ€™s nuanced and complicated.โ€ Some of those conversations entail explaining that hormones are not a cure-all. โ€œWhen women come in and tell me theyโ€™re taking hormones for anti-aging or general prevention, or because they have some vague sense itโ€™ll return them to their premenopausal self โ€” and theyโ€™re not even having hot flashes โ€” I say, โ€˜Hormone therapy is not a fountain of youth and shouldnโ€™t be used for that purpose,โ€™โ€ Faubion says. + +Too many doctors are not equipped to parse these intricate pros and cons, even if they wanted to. Medical schools, in response to the W.H.I., were quick to abandon menopausal education. โ€œThere was no treatment considered safe and effective, so they decided there was nothing to teach,โ€ says Minkin, the Yale OB-GYN. About half of all practicing gynecologists are under 50, which means that they started their residencies after the publication of the W.H.I. trial and might never have received meaningful education about menopause. โ€œWhen my younger partners see patients with menopausal symptoms, they refer them to me,โ€ says Audrey Buxbaum, a 60-year-old gynecologist with a practice in New York. Buxbaum, like many doctors over 50, prescribed menopausal hormone therapy before the W.H.I. and never stopped. + +Image + +Credit...Marta Blue for The New York Times + +Education on a stage of life that affects half the worldโ€™s population is still wildly overlooked at medical schools. A 2017 survey sent to residents across the country found that 20 percent of them had not heard a single lecture on the subject of menopause, and a third of the respondents said they would not prescribe hormone therapy to a symptomatic woman, even if she had no clear medical conditions that would elevate the risk of doing so. โ€œI was quizzing my daughter a few years ago when she was studying for the board exams, and whoever writes the board questions, the answer is never, โ€˜Give them hormones,โ€™โ€ Santoro says. In recent years, there has been some progress: The University of Pennsylvania has established a menopause clinic, and Johns Hopkins now offers a two-year curriculum on the subject for its residents. But the field of gynecology will, most likely for decades to come, be populated by many doctors who left medical school unprepared to offer guidance to menopausal women who need their help. + +**I didnโ€™t know** all of this when I went to see my gynecologist. I knew only what my friends had told me, and that hormone therapy was an option. The meeting was only my second with this gynecologist, a woman who struck me as chic, professional and in a bit of a hurry, which was to be expected, as she is part of a large health care group โ€” the kind that makes you think youโ€™d rather die from whateverโ€™s ailing you than try to navigate its phone tree one more time. Something about the quick pace of the meeting โ€” the not-so-frequent eye contact โ€” made me hesitate before bringing up my concerns: They felt whiny, even inappropriate. But I forged on. I was having hot flashes, I told her โ€” not constantly, but enough that it was bothering me. I had other concerns, but since memory issues were troubling me the most, I brought that up next. โ€œBut that could also just be normal aging,โ€ she said. She paused and fixed a doubtful gaze in my direction. โ€œWe only prescribe hormones for significant symptoms,โ€ she told me. I felt rebuffed, startled by how quickly the conversation seemed to have ended, and I was second-guessing myself. Were my symptoms, after all, โ€œsignificantโ€? By whose definition? + +The [NAMS guidelines](https://www.menopause.org/docs/default-source/professional/nams-2022-hormone-therapy-position-statement.pdf) suggest that the benefits of hormone therapy outweigh the risks for women under 60 who have โ€œbothersomeโ€ hot flashes and no contraindications. When I left my doctorโ€™s office (without a prescription), I spent a lot of time thinking about whether my symptoms were troubling me enough to take on any additional risk, no matter how small. On the one hand, I was at a healthy weight and active, at relatively low risk for cardiovascular disease; on the other hand, because of family history and other factors, I was at higher risk for breast cancer than many of my same-age peers. I felt caught between the promises and, yes, risks of hormone therapy, the remaining gaps in our knowledge and my own aversion, common if illogical, to embarking on a new and indefinitely lasting medical regimen. + +> ## โ€˜Menopause has the worst P.R. campaign in the history of the universe, because itโ€™s not just hot flashes and night sweats.โ€™ + +Menopause could represent a time when women feel maximum control of our bodies, free at last from the risk of being forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy. And yet for many women, menopause becomes a new struggle to control our bodies, not because of legislation or religion but because of a lack of knowledge on our part, and also on the part of our doctors. Menopause presents not just a new stage of life but also a state of confusion. At a time when we have the right to feel seasoned, women are thrust into the role of newbie, or worse, medical detective, in charge of solving our own problems. + +Even the most resourceful women I know, the kind of people you call when you desperately need something done fast and well, described themselves as โ€œbaffledโ€ by this stage of their lives. A recent national poll found that 35 percent of menopausal women reported that they had experienced four or more symptoms, but only 44 percent said they had discussed their symptoms with a doctor. Women often feel awkward initiating those conversations, and they may not even identify their symptoms as menopausal. โ€œMenopause has the worst P.R. campaign in the history of the universe, because itโ€™s not just hot flashes and night sweats,โ€ says Rachel Rubin, a sexual-health expert and assistant clinical professor in urology at Georgetown University. โ€œHow many times do I get a 56-year-old woman who comes to me, who says, Oh, yeah, I donโ€™t have hot flashes and night sweats, but I have depression and osteoporosis and low libido and pain with sex? These can all be menopausal symptoms.โ€ In an ideal world, Rubin says, more gynecologists, internists and urologists would run through a list of hormonal symptoms with their middle-aged patients rather than waiting to see if those women have the knowledge and wherewithal to bring them up on their own. + +The W.H.I. trial measured the most severe, life-threatening outcomes: breast cancer, heart disease, stroke and clots, among others. But for a woman who is steadily losing hair, who has joint pain, who suddenly realizes her very smell has changed (and not for the better) or who is depressed or exhausted โ€” for many of those women, the net benefits of taking hormones, of experiencing an improved quality of life day to day, may be worth facing down whatever incremental risks hormone therapy entails, even after age 60. Even for women like me, whose symptoms are not as drastic but whose risks are low, hormones can make sense. โ€œIโ€™m not saying every woman needs hormones,โ€ Rubin says, โ€œbut Iโ€™m a big believer in your body, your choice.โ€ + +Conversations about menopause lack, among so many other things, the language to help us make these choices. Some women sail blissfully into motherhood, but there is a term for the extreme anxiety and depression that other women endure following delivery: postpartum depression. Some women menstruate every month without major upheaval; others experience mood changes that disrupt their daily functioning, suffering what we call premenstrual syndrome (PMS), or in more serious cases, premenstrual dysphoric disorder. A significant portion of women suffer no symptoms whatsoever as they sail into menopause. Others suffer near-systemic breakdowns, with brain fog, recurring hot flashes and exhaustion. Others feel different enough to know they donโ€™t like what they feel, but they are hardly incapacitated. Menopause โ€” that baggy term โ€” is too big, too overdetermined, generating a confusion that makes it especially hard to talk about. + +**No symptom** is more closely associated with menopause than the hot flash, a phenomenon thatโ€™s often reduced to a comedic trope โ€” the middle-aged woman furiously waving a fan at her face and throwing ice cubes down her shirt. Seventy to 80 percent of women have hot flashes, yet they are nearly as mysterious to researchers as they are to the women experiencing them โ€” a reflection of just how much we still have to learn about the biology of menopause. Scientists are now trying to figure out whether hot flashes are merely a symptom or whether they trigger other changes in the body. + +Strangely, the searing heat a woman feels roaring within is not reflected in any significant rise in her core body temperature. Hot flashes originate in the hypothalamus, an area of the brain rich in estrogen receptors that is both crucial in the reproductive cycle and also functions as a thermostat. Deprived of estrogen, its thermostat now wonky, the hypothalamus is more likely to misread small increases in core body temperature as too hot, triggering a rush of sweat and widespread dilation of the blood vessels in an attempt to cool the body. This also drives up the temperature on the skin. Some women experience these misfirings once a day, others 10 or more, with each one lasting anywhere from seconds to five minutes. On average, women experience them for seven to 10 years. + +What hot flashes might mean for a womanโ€™s health is one of the main questions that Rebecca Thurston, the director of the Womenโ€™s Biobehavioral Health Laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh, has been trying to answer. Thurston helped lead a study that followed a diverse cohort of 3,000 women over 22 years and found that about 25 percent of them were what she called superflashers: Their hot flashes started long before their periods became irregular, and the women continued to experience them for as many as 14 years, upending the idea that, for most women, hot flashes are an irritating but short-lived inconvenience. Of the five racial and ethnic groups Thurston studied, Black women were found to experience the most hot flashes, to experience them as the most bothersome and to endure them the longest. In addition to race, low socioeconomic status was associated with the duration of womenโ€™s hot flashes, suggesting that the conditions of life, even years later, can affect a bodyโ€™s management of menopause. Women who experienced [childhood abuse were 70 percent more likely to report night sweats and hot flashes.](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6768766/) + +Might those symptoms also signal harm beyond the impact on a womanโ€™s quality of life? In 2016, Thurston published [a study in the journal Stroke](https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.1161/STROKEAHA.115.010600) showing that women who had more hot flashes โ€” at least four a day โ€” tended to have more signs of cardiovascular disease. The link was even stronger than the association between cardiovascular risk and obesity, or cardiovascular risk and high blood pressure. โ€œWe donโ€™t know if itโ€™s causal,โ€ Thurston cautions, โ€œor in which direction. We need more research.โ€ There might even be some women for whom the hot flashes do accelerate physical harm and others not, Thurston told me. At a minimum, she says, reports of severe and frequent hot flashes should cue doctors to look more closely at a womanโ€™s cardiac health. + +As Thurston was trying to determine the effects of hot flashes on vascular health, Pauline Maki, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Illinois at Chicago, was establishing associations between hot flashes and mild cognitive changes during menopause. Maki had already found a clear correlation between the number of a womanโ€™s hot flashes and her memory performance. Maki and Thurston wondered if they would be able to detect some physical representation of that association in the brain. They embarked on research, published last October, that found a strong correlation between the number of [hot flashes a woman has during sleep and signs of damage](https://n.neurology.org/content/100/2/e133) to the tiny vessels of the brain. At a lab in Pittsburgh, which has one of the most powerful M.R.I. machines in the world, Thurston showed me an image of a brain with tiny lesions represented as white dots, ghostlike absences on the scan. Both their number and placement, she said, were different in women with high numbers of hot flashes. But whether the hot flashes were causing the damage or the changes in the cerebral vessels were causing the hot flashes, she could not say. + +About 20 percent of women experience cognitive decline during perimenopause and in the first years after menopause, mostly in the realm of verbal learning, the acquisition and synthesis of new information. But the mechanisms of that decline are varied. As estrogen levels drop, the region of the brain associated with verbal learning is thought to recruit others to support its functioning. Itโ€™s possible that this period of transition, when the brain is forming new pathways, accounts for the cognitive dip that some women experience. For most of them, itโ€™s short-lived, a temporary neurological confusion. A womanโ€™s gray matter โ€” the cells that process information โ€” also seems to shrink in volume before stabilizing in most women, according to Lisa Mosconi, an associate professor of neurology at Weill Cornell Medicine and director of its Womenโ€™s Brain Initiative. She compares the process the brain undergoes during those years of transition to a kind of โ€œremodeling.โ€ But the tiny brain lesions that Thurston and Maki detected donโ€™t resolve โ€” they remain, contributing incrementally, over many years, to an increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia. + +In the past 15 years, four randomized, controlled trials found that taking estrogen had no effect on cognitive performance. But those four studies, Maki points out, did not look specifically at women with moderate to severe hot flashes. She believes that might be the key factor: Treat the hot flashes with estrogen, Maki theorizes, and researchers might see an improvement in cognitive health. In one small trial Maki conducted of about 36 women, all of whom had moderate to severe hot flashes, half of the group received a kind of anesthesia procedure that reduced their hot flashes, and the other half received a placebo treatment. She measured the cognitive function of both groups before the treatment and then three months after and found that as hot flashes improved, memory improved. The trial was small but โ€œhypothesis generating,โ€ she says. + +Even adjusting for greater longevity in women, Alzheimerโ€™s disease is more frequent in women than men, one of many brain-health discrepancies that have led researchers to wonder about the role that estrogen โ€” and possibly hormone therapy โ€” might play in the pathways of cognitive decline. But the research on hormone therapy and Alzheimerโ€™s disease has proved inconclusive so far. + +Whatever research exists on hormones and the brain focuses on postmenopausal women, which means itโ€™s impossible to know, for now, whether perimenopausal women could conceivably benefit from taking estrogen and progesterone during the temporary dip in their cognitive function. โ€œThere hasnโ€™t been a single randomized trial of hormone therapy for women in perimenopause,โ€ Maki says. โ€œEgregious, right?โ€ + +Whatโ€™s also unclear, Thurston says, is how the various phenomena of cognitive change during menopause โ€” the temporary setbacks that resolve, the progress toward Alzheimerโ€™s in women with high genetic risk and the onset of those markers of small-vessel brain disease โ€” interact or reflect on one another. โ€œWe havenโ€™t followed women long enough to know,โ€ says Thurston, who believes that menopause care begins and ends with one crucial dictum: โ€œWe need more research.โ€ + +Image + +Credit...Marta Blue for The New York Times + +**In the** information void, a vast menopausal-wellness industry has developed, flush with products that Faubion dismisses as mostly โ€œlotions and potions.โ€ But a new crop of companies has also come to market to provide F.D.A.-approved treatments, including hormone therapy. Midi Health offers virtual face-to-face access to menopause-trained doctors and nurse practitioners who can prescribe hormones that some insurances will cover; other sites, like Evernow and Alloy, sell prescriptions directly to the patient. (Maki serves on the medical advisory boards of both Midi and Alloy.) + +On the Alloy website, a woman answers a series of questions about her symptoms, family and medical history, and the companyโ€™s algorithm recommends a prescription (or doesnโ€™t). A prescribing doctor reviews the case and answers questions by text or phone, and if the woman decides to complete the order, she has access to that prescribing doctor by text for as long as the prescription is active. + +Alloy holds online support groups where women, clearly of varying socioeconomic backgrounds, often vent โ€” about how hard it was for them to find relief, how much they are still suffering or how traumatized they still are by the lack of compassion and concern they encountered when seeking help for distressing symptoms. On one call in July, a middle-aged woman described severe vaginal dryness. โ€œWhen I was walking or trying just to exercise, I would be in such agony,โ€ she said. โ€œItโ€™s painful just to move.โ€ She was trying to buy vaginal estradiol cream, an extremely low-risk treatment for genitourinary syndrome; she said there was a shortage of it in her small town. Until she stumbled on Alloy, sheโ€™d been relying on antibacterial creams to soothe the pain she felt. + +The space was clearly a no-judgment zone, a place where women could talk about how they personally felt about the risks and benefits of taking hormones. At one meeting, a woman said that sheโ€™d been on hormone therapy, which she said โ€œchanged my lifeโ€ during perimenopause, but that she and her sisters both had worrying mammograms at the same time. Her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and had her lymph nodes removed; the woman on the call was diagnosed with atypical hyperplasia, which is not cancer but is considered a precursor that puts a woman at high risk. The NAMS guidelines do not indicate that hormone therapy is contraindicated for a woman at high risk of breast cancer, leaving it up to the woman and her practitioner to decide. โ€œMy new OB-GYN and my cancer doc wonโ€™t put me on hormones,โ€ the woman said. She bought them from Alloy instead. โ€œSo Iโ€™m kind of under the radar.โ€ + +No one at the meeting questioned the womanโ€™s decision to go against the advice of two doctors. I mentioned the case to Faubion. โ€œIt sounds to me like she felt she wasnโ€™t being heard by her doctors and had to go somewhere else,โ€ she said. Faubion told me that in certain circumstances, higher-risk women who are fully informed of the risks but suffer terrible symptoms might reasonably make the decision to opt for hormones. But, she said, those decisions require nuanced, thoughtful conversations with health care professionals, and she wondered whether Alloy and other online providers were set up to allow for them. Anne Fulenwider, one of Alloyโ€™s founders, said the patient in the support group had not disclosed her full medical history when seeking a prescription. After that came to light, an Alloy doctor reached out to her to have a more informed follow-up conversation about the risks and benefits of hormone therapy. + +As I weighed my own options, I sometimes asked the doctors I interviewed outright for their advice. For women in perimenopause, who are still at risk of pregnancy, I learned, a low-dose birth control can โ€œeven things out,โ€ suppressing key parts of the reproductive system and supplying a steadier dose of hormones. Another alternative is an intrauterine device (IUD) to provide birth control, along with a low-dose estrogen patch, which is less potent than even a low-dose birth-control pill and is therefore thought to be safer. โ€œToo much equipment,โ€ I told Rachel Rubin, the sexual-health expert, when she suggested it. โ€œThis is why I donโ€™t ski.โ€ I found myself thinking often about an insight that Santoro says she offers her patients (especially those under 60 and in good health): If youโ€™re having any symptoms, how can you weigh the risks and benefits if you havenโ€™t experienced the extent of the benefits? + +In November, I started on a low-dose birth-control pill. I am convinced โ€” and those close to me are convinced โ€” that my brain is more glitch-free. I have no hot flashes. Most surprising to me (and perhaps the main reason for that improvement in cognition): My sleep improved. I had not even mentioned my poor quality of sleep to my gynecologist, given the length of our discussion, but I had also assumed that it was a result of stress, age and a sweet but snoring husband. Only once I took the hormones did I appreciate that my regular 2 a.m. wakings, too, were most likely a symptom of perimenopause. The pill was an easy-enough experiment, but it carried a potentially higher risk of clots than the IUD and patch; now convinced that the effort of an IUD is worth it, I resolved to make that switch as soon as I could get an appointment. + +How many women are doing some version of what I did, unsure of or explaining away menopausal symptoms, apologizing for complaining about discomforts theyโ€™re not sure are โ€œsignificant,โ€ quietly allowing the conversation to move on when they meet with their gynecologists or internists or family-care doctors? And yet โ€ฆ my more smoothly functioning brain goes round and round, wondering, worrying, waiting for more high-quality research. Maybe in the next decade, when my personal risks start escalating, weโ€™ll know more; all I can hope is that it confirms the current trend toward research that reassures. The science is continuing. We wait for progress, and hope it is as inevitable as aging itself. + +Marta Blue is a visual artist based in Milan.

He wanted land from the defence ministry that he could use for the training of โ€œvolunteersโ€ who would have no official links to the Russian army but could still be used to fight Russiaโ€™s wars. + +Many in the ministry did not like Prigozhinโ€™s manner, but he made it clear that this was no ordinary request. โ€œThe orders come from Papa,โ€ he told the defence officials, using a nickname for [Vladimir Putin](https://www.theguardian.com/world/vladimir-putin) designed to emphasise his closeness to the president. + +This account of the meeting, which has not previously been reported, was provided by a former high-ranking defence ministry official with direct knowledge of the discussions. + +โ€œAt the time, I didnโ€™t think much of the project,โ€ said the former official. + +In fact, the decisions taken that day would have an enormous impact on Russiaโ€™s foreign policy and its military adventures in the years to come. Prigozhinโ€™s army of contract fighters would come to be known as the Wagner group, and would see action in Ukraine, Syria and numerous African countries. + +![Visitors gather outside PMC Wagner Centre in St Petersburg on 4 November 2022.](https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/981be0c06368607eda5e84487daf8f72495c15de/147_0_4989_2995/master/4989.jpg?width=445&quality=85&dpr=1&s=none) + +Visitors gather outside PMC Wagner Centre, a project implemented by Yevgeny Prigozhin, during the official opening of the office block in St Petersburg on 4 November 2022.

Its ranks have ballooned to about 50,000, according to western intelligence estimates, including tens of thousands of ex-prisoners recruited from jails around Russia, often personally by Prigozhin. + +Earlier this month, as Prigozhinโ€™s troops captured the Ukrainian town of Soledar, Moscowโ€™s first territorial gain in the war since the summer, Prigozhin released a video lauding Wagner as โ€œprobably the most experienced army in the world todayโ€. + +Prigozhin has earned a reputation as the cruellest commander among those leading Russiaโ€™s grim invasion. He appeared to tacitly endorse a video showing the murder, with a sledgehammer, of a Wagner defector who had apparently been handed back by the Ukrainians in a prisoner exchange. โ€œA dogโ€™s death for a dog,โ€ Prigozhin said in a statement at the time. + +Prigozhin did not respond to a request for comment for this article. But after years operating in the shadows, he is clearly relishing the spotlight as one of the most powerful โ€“ and most talked about โ€“ members of Putinโ€™s court. It has been an extraordinary ascent for someone who once spent nearly a decade in prison, and who became a hotdog salesman on his release. + +The Guardian has spoken with numerous people who have known Prigozhin over the years, many of whom requested anonymity to speak freely, to piece together his story. From these conversations, a picture emerges of a ruthless schemer who was obsequious to social superiors and often tyrannical to underlings as he rose to the top. + +โ€œHeโ€™s driven and talented, and wonโ€™t shrink from anything to get what he wants,โ€ said a businessman who knew Prigozhin in the 1990s. + +![Prigozhin (left) assists Vladimir Putin during a dinner with foreign scholars and journalists outside Moscow in November 2011](https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/250ab8fa3aed480932d717d9d5c96d01d9391e88/0_0_3500_2494/master/3500.jpg?width=445&quality=85&dpr=1&s=none) + +Prigozhin (left) assists Vladimir Putin during a dinner with foreign scholars and journalists outside Moscow in November 2011.

Photograph: FBI/Reuters + +--- + +Yevgeny Prigozhin was born in Leningrad, now St Petersburg, in 1961, nine years after Putin. His father died when he was young; his mother worked in a hospital, Prigozhin has said. The young Prigozhin was sent to a sporting academy, where daily activities often involved hours of cross-country skiing. + +He didnโ€™t make the cut as a professional athlete, and after finishing school he fell in with a crowd of petty criminals. Court documents from 1981, seen by the Guardian and [first reported on](https://meduza.io/feature/2021/06/15/za-chto-v-1981-godu-v-sssr-sudili-evgeniya-prigozhina-kotorogo-teper-ves-mir-znaet-kak-povara-putina-publikuem-tekst-sudebnogo-dokumenta) by the Russian investigative outlet Meduza, tell the story. + +One evening in March 1980, during the dreary tail-end of Leonid Brezhnevโ€™s rule over the Soviet Union, the 18-year-old Prigozhin and three friends left a St Petersburg cafe close to midnight and spotted a woman walking alone along the dark street. + +One of Prigozhinโ€™s buddies distracted the woman by asking for a cigarette. As she went to open her purse, Prigozhin materialised behind her and grabbed her neck, squeezing until she lost consciousness. Then, his friend slipped off her shoes while Prigozhin deftly removed her gold earrings and pocketed them. The quartet sprinted off, leaving the woman lying on the street. + +It was one of many robberies that Prigozhin and his friends carried out in St Petersburg over a period of several months, the court found. He was sentenced to 13 years in prison, and spent the rest of the decade behind bars, missing the death of Brezhnev and Mikhail Gorbachevโ€™s perestroika. He was released in 1990, as the Soviet Union was in its death throes. He returned to St Petersburg. + +The city was on the brink of monumental transformation, with great riches awaiting those shrewd or violent enough to seize them. Prigozhin started out modestly, selling hotdogs. He mixed the mustard in the kitchen of his family apartment. + +โ€œWe made $1,000 a month, which in rouble notes was a mountain; my mum could hardly count it all,โ€ he told the St Petersburg news portal Gorod 812 in 2011, one of his only ever interviews. + +But Prigozhin had his sights set higher than fast food, and he knew how to make the contacts he needed. โ€œHe always looked for people higher up to befriend. And he was good at it,โ€ said the businessman who knew him in the 1990s. + +Before long, Prigozhin owned a stake in a chain of supermarkets, and in 1995 he decided it was time to open a restaurant with his business partners. He found Tony Gear, a British hotel administrator who had previously worked at the Savoy in London and was now at one of St Petersburgโ€™s few luxury hotels. + +Prigozhin hired Gear to manage first a wine shop, then his new restaurant, the Old Customs House, on St Petersburgโ€™s Vasilievsky Island. + +Initially, the Old Customs House employed strippers as a way to drum up clientele, but soon word got out that the food was excellent, and the strippers were dismissed. Gear focused on marketing the eatery as the most refined place to eat in a city that was only just discovering fine dining. Pop stars and businessmen liked to eat there, as did St Petersburgโ€™s mayor, Anatoly Sobchak, who sometimes came with his deputy, Vladimir Putin. + +![Vladimir Putin with Prigozhin (second right) in the background.](https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/1ac6e7f91d3641abf0ea5760dda4a7dd9e474f11/108_75_1362_817/master/1362.jpg?width=445&quality=85&dpr=1&s=none) + +Vladimir Putin and Mstislav Rostropovich at a banquet, with Prigozhin (second right) in the background.

He has [previously](https://argumenti.ru/society/2022/12/802433) expressed admiration for Prigozhin but described him as a โ€œvery strictโ€ boss, who would even use a special light projector to look for dust under tables each morning, to check the cleaners had worked properly. + +Back in the 1990s, Prigozhin did not mention in conversation that he had spent a decade in prison, those who knew him say. He turned on the charm to make the acquaintance of his new high-flying customers. + +โ€œHe can adapt to please any person if he needs something from them. That is definitely one of his talents,โ€ said the businessman who knew him at the time. + +In one of post-Soviet Russiaโ€™s more unusual friendships, Prigozhin struck up a camaraderie with the famous cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, who had emigrated from the Soviet Union in the 1970s. + +![Prigozhin (fourth left) with Vladimir Putin and George Bush in Villa Lindstrem, 2006.](https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/1336a50425923acc18dcf7f1c5064bdd61b90513/0_0_680_408/master/680.jpg?width=445&quality=85&dpr=1&s=none) + +Prigozhin (fourth left) with Vladimir Putin and George Bush in Villa Lindstrem, 2006.

It was the start of a relationship with the Russian president that would grow and metastasise in unexpected ways. + +--- + +Before long, Prigozhin began winning contracts to cater for major government events through Concord, a holding company he had set up back in the 1990s. The next step was giant government supply contracts. In 2012, he won more than 10.5bn roubles (ยฃ200m) of contracts to provide food to Moscowโ€™s schools, Russian media [reported](https://www.gazeta.ru/social/2016/10/13/10248671.shtml), citing records from the Russian financial registry. + +New opportunities arose when Russia annexed Crimea in March 2014 and intervened militarily in eastern Ukraine soon after. Putin denied that regular Russian troops had been involved in either case, despite a mountain of evidence to the contrary. + +The Kremlin began to think about how to make the deniability slightly more plausible. Although private military companies were illegal in Russia, several groups appeared that seemed to coordinate their actions with the defence ministry but could operate at armโ€™s length. Prigozhinโ€™s Wagner would become by far the most prominent of them. + +โ€œI think Prigozhin pitched it to Putin and he agreed, thatโ€™s how it works,โ€ said the former defence ministry official, dismissing speculation that Wagner was a project of Russiaโ€™s GRU military intelligence from the start. โ€œThere might have been some GRU people advising, but in the end this was Prigozhinโ€™s project.โ€ + +The ministry provided Prigozhin with land in Molkino in southern Russia, said the source, where companies linked to Prigozhin constructed a staging base for fighters [](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-syria-russia-prigozhin-idUSKCN1RG1QT)under the guise of a childrenโ€™s camp.

A key moment for Prigozhin came in late 2015 when Putin decided to intervene militarily in Syria to prop up the regime of Bashar al-Assad. Prigozhin won contracts for food and supplies, and also dispatched his Wagner troops there. + +In Syria, Wagner first established itself as a formidable fighting force, with the group playing a prominent, if unacknowledged, role in Moscowโ€™s intervention. Wagner fighters operated with impunity in Syria and were accused of numerous war crimes. In one incident, men linked to Wagner were captured on video [beheading and dismembering a Syrian man](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/nov/21/man-filmed-killing-torture-syrian-identified-russian-mercenary-wagner).

Carefully, precisely, surgically and in our own way, as we know how. During our pinpoint operations, we will remove both kidneys and the liver at once.โ€ + +--- + +With Prigozhinโ€™s ever-expanding portfolio came increasing scrutiny. The anti-corruption activist and opposition politician Alexei Navalny released an investigation into Prigozhinโ€™s business structures, accusing him of corruptly winning ministry of defence contracts to fund a luxury lifestyle. + +Lyubov Sobol, the Navalny associate behind the investigation, said: โ€œHis children posted pictures on Instagram all the time; they were boasting about their private jet, and through that we could find the holding company, which helped us find out about all his wealth.โ€ + +Sobol and others flew a drone over palatial residences allegedly belonging to Prigozhin and his daughter, featuring a helipad and basketball court. + +Soon after, Sobolโ€™s husband collapsed after a man waiting outside the coupleโ€™s home stabbed him in the leg with a needle. Sobol says a steady campaign of legal pressure and intimidation followed, including goons who demonstratively followed her every time she went outside the house. + +โ€œThese people were basically breathing down my neck, every day โ€ฆ Itโ€™s the logic of a bandit. You are getting up in my business, so Iโ€™ll get up in yours,โ€ Sobol said. + +Russian journalists who investigated Prigozhinโ€™s activities also faced threats or intimidation that they believed to be connected to their work.

Gabidullin, who is currently in France, said Prigozhin could show care towards his military commanders, especially when injured, but often had contempt for the office workers. + +โ€œThe office atmosphere was extremely strict, Prigozhin would often cross the line with his workers. He was very rude to his staff. He would curse people, and embarrass them in public,โ€ he said. + +Although he had no official position, Prigozhin was now a frequent attender at high-level meetings related to defence contracts. He even sat in on a bilateral meeting between Putin and the Madagascan president, Hery Rajaonarimampianina, in the Kremlin in April 2018, a meeting that was not publicised but was [reported on](https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/11/world/africa/russia-madagascar-election.html) by the New York Times. Soon after, political consultants linked to Prigozhin descended on Madagascar**,** according to the Times. + +Just two months after that meeting, Putin scoffed at the claims that Prigozhin was involved in shadow foreign policy manoeuvres on behalf of the Kremlin. โ€œHe runs a restaurant business, it is his job; he is a restaurant keeper in St Petersburg,โ€ Putin said of Prigozhin during [an interview](http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/57675) with Austrian television. + +Pressed on evidence of Prigozhinโ€™s defence ministry contracts and allegations of electoral interference, Putin gave a revealing answer, comparing Prigozhin to [George Soros](https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/nov/02/george-soros-brexit-hurts-both-sides-money-educate-british-public), the financier and philanthropist who is the subject of numerous conspiracy theories, and whom Russian officials have accused of bankrolling revolutions on US government orders. + +โ€œThere is such a personality in the United States: Mr Soros, who interferes in all affairs around the world โ€ฆ The state department will say that it has nothing to do with them, rather it is Mr Sorosโ€™s private affair. With us, it is Mr Prigozhinโ€™s private affair,โ€ said Putin. + +In effect, Putin was admitting that Prigozhin for him was what he wrongly believed Soros to be for the US government: a tool to meddle abroad while retaining plausible deniability. + +--- + +Putinโ€™s fateful decision to launch a full-scale assault on Ukraine in February last year has removed the requirement for plausible deniability. + +After years of denying all links to Wagner, Prigozhin [announced triumphantly](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/sep/26/putin-ally-yevgeny-prigozhin-admits-founding-wagner-mercenary-group) in September that he had founded the group back in 2014. โ€œIn any issue there should be room for sport,โ€ he said, explaining why he had sued numerous media outlets for linking him to Wagner in the past. + +The admission came after a viral video, apparently leaked by Prigozhinโ€™s team, showed him inside a prison pitching to assembled inmates the opportunity to fight in Ukraine. + +![Screengrab of Yevgeniy Prigozhin addressing inmates in Russian prison offering them freedom for fighting with Wagner group mercenaries for six months in Ukraine.](https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/d30618d3b474dc48e062332cb5badd4a81c21502/0_0_2560_1536/master/2560.jpg?width=445&quality=85&dpr=1&s=none) + +Screengrab of Prigozhin addressing inmates in a Russian prison, offering them freedom for fighting with Wagner group mercenaries for six months in Ukraine.

Andrey Medvedev, a Wagner commander who said he fought near Bakhmut between July and October, said he knew of at least 10 such killings, and had witnessed some personally. + +โ€œThe commanders took them to a shooting field and they were shot in front of everyone.

Prigozhin has called on Russiaโ€™s leading universities to fund scholarships for them, while one Russian official recently suggested that some former prisoners ought to be made MPs. + +There is something symbolic in Prigozhin, who spent his 20s in prison, now paving the way for the release and rehabilitation of thousands of prisoners, including those convicted of the most violent crimes. + +According to Ivan Krastev, a political scientist, it is part of an attempt to โ€œredefine the Russian nationโ€ amid the new wartime atmosphere. โ€œPrisoners are welcomed in the nation, while all those anti-war cosmopolitan elites, including some of Putinโ€™s oligarchs, are not,โ€ Krastev said. + +In recent weeks, Prigozhin has frequently released statements attacking supposed traitors in the elite who holiday abroad and dream of Russia losing the war. There are many in Putinโ€™s administration who want to โ€œfall on their knees before Uncle Samโ€, Prigozhin claimed last week. + +Prigozhin has in effect become โ€œthe leader of anti-elite Putinismโ€, said Krastev, remaining loyal to the tsar while attacking all those around him. + +Many of those who have known Prigozhin say that for years he has seen himself as a defender of the little guy taking on the elites, an incongruous characterisation given the riches he has acquired for himself and his family along the way, but one he would often employ. + +โ€œHe presents himself as the defender of the masses, the lower classes. That is his niche,โ€ said Gabidullin. + +Now, Prigozhinโ€™s increasingly brazen criticism has led some to wonder where the ceiling of his ambitions might be. + +โ€œPeople from the FSB are furious about him and see him as a threat to the constitutional order,โ€ said a source in the Russian political elite. โ€œHe has this big military group not controlled by the state, and after the war they will want their rewards, including political rewards.โ€ + +![Prigozhin released a photograph of himself surrounded by Wagner fighters in what appeared to be one of Soledarโ€™s saltmines.](https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/259156772beb3fff0437c1527bf31b9f8c67d3c9/0_1052_2479_1487/master/2479.jpg?width=465&quality=85&dpr=1&s=none) + +Prigozhin released a photograph of himself surrounded by Wagner fighters in what appeared to be one of Soledarโ€™s saltmines.

Another security guard idles at the end of the outlierโ€™s heated driveway, which slopes past a garage where Maybachs and McLarens sit alongside muddy, toddler-sized four-wheelers and a terrarium housing a sleeping bearded dragon. At the front door, an inflatable Santa stands sentry, holding a sign that warns, โ€œNine Days Until Christmas!โ€ + +On a clear day like today, you can look out the living roomโ€™s floor-to-ceiling windows, over the icy swimming pool and presently invisible dirt bike track below, and the entirety of the Salt Lake Valley spreads out before you like an overturned snow globe. Inside, the space is all white and sparsely furnished, decorated with a pair of spindly Christmas trees, a half-dozen painted portraits โ€” in one, a smiling young man feeds his daughter a cheeseburger โ€” and an enormous plaque that glints in the sunlight and reads, โ€œ100 RIAA Gold/Platinum Certifications,โ€ and, in larger letters, โ€œ[YoungBoy Never Broke Again](https://www.billboard.com/artist/youngboy-never-broke-again/).โ€ Its recipient, who introduces himself as Kentrell, sits quietly beneath it as a motherly woman named Quintina, who is not his mother but his financial adviser, paints his fingernails black. + +The neighbors have yet to figure out who exactly it is that moved in just over a year ago: a rail-thin 23-year-old with faded face tattoos and a stable of luxury vehicles that never leave the garage. Should they learn that he is signed to [Motown Records](https://www.billboard.com/t/motown-records/) and makes music as YoungBoy Never Broke Again, itโ€™s likely they would still draw a blank. (A middle-aged blonde from the mansion next door cranes her neck from the window of her SUV to gawk at the camera crew unloading outside for todayโ€™s cover shoot.) And itโ€™s true that the artist born Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, whom fans call YoungBoy or simply YB, has practically zero mainstream presence: Heโ€™s not on the radio, scarcely performs live, regularly deactivates his social media accounts and shies away from the press. + +Yet in an extreme and emblematic case of streaming-era stardom, YoungBoy is one of the most popular and prolific rappers on the planet. Since breaking out from his hometown of Baton Rouge, La., at age 15 โ€” already sounding like a world-weary veteran who had absorbed a lifetime of pain โ€” he has landed 96 entries on the [Billboard Hotย 100](https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/) and 26 projects on the [Billboardย 200](https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/). (Of the latter, 12 charted in the topย 10, and four went to No.ย 1.) Of the whopping eight full-length projects he released in 2022 alone, five reached the topย 10; his latest, Januaryโ€™s *Iย Rest My Case*, debuted at No.ย 9. YoungBoy was the third most-streamed artist in the United States last year (according to Luminate), behind Drake and Taylor Swift, and currently sits at No.ย 1 on YouTubeโ€™s Top Artists page, where he has charted for the last 309 weeks. After deducting a presumed 10% management fee, *Billboard* estimates YoungBoyโ€™s take-home pay from artist and publishing streaming royalties averaged between $8.7ย million and $13.4ย million annually over the last three years, depending on the structure of his publishing contract and level of artist royalty his recording contract pays out. The NBAโ€™s coolest young team, the Memphis Grizzlies, warms up to his music almost exclusively. + +![YoungBoy Never Broke Again](https://www.billboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/coverstory-youngboy-never-broke-again-billboard-2023-bb01-diwang-valdez-2-1240.jpg?w=200) + +YoungBoy Never Broke Again photographed on December 16, 2022 in Utah. Diwang Valdez + +Heโ€™s known for churning out releases with machine-like efficiency and for the legal battles that have haunted his career from day one, to the extent that both feel like essential components of the art itself. As a public figure, heโ€™s inscrutable, but in song, he comes alive โ€” equal parts outlaw and confidant, commiserating with listenersโ€™ struggles and declaring vendettas in the same breath. And though his path may strike some as counterintuitive, YoungBoyโ€™s perpetual underdog status only galvanizes his die-hard supporters, for whom aggrievement has become a calling card, regularly spamming comment sections in frantic defense of their favorite. + +Since moving to Utah, YoungBoy has left his house exactly zero times; an ankle monitor will trigger if he so much as crosses the end of his driveway. After fleeing police, who had stopped him in Los Angeles with a federal warrant stemming from a 2020 arrest โ€” where he was one of 16 people picked up on felony drug and weapons charges at a video shoot โ€” he spent most of 2021 in a Louisiana jail. In October 2021, a judge granted him permission to serve house arrest in Salt Lake City at the request of his lawyers. (Hence the security team, whose presence is to enforce the terms of his incarceration as much as for his protection. Those terms include a limit of three preapproved visitors at a time, turning todayโ€™s shoot into an elaborate exercise in consolidation.) The 2020 arrest was the latest in a string of allegations that began when YoungBoy was 15. Last year, he was found not guilty in one of his two federal gun trials; the other is ongoing. + +YoungBoy lives here with Jazlyn Mychelle, whom he quietly married in the first week of 2023, and their two children: a 17-month-old named Alice (after his grandmother) and a newborn boy, Klemenza (named for a character in *The Godfather* whose loyalty the rapper admires). They are the youngest of the 23-year-old YoungBoyโ€™s 10 children. The other eight live with their seven respective mothers. Most people in his position would be counting down the days until freedom, but besides the fact that his โ€œpurposelessโ€ car collection is steadily depreciating in value, YoungBoy is in no rush to return to the world. โ€œThis is the best thing that ever happened to me,โ€ he says with an expensive-looking smile, having traded his diamond grill for pearly veneers, as his nail polish dries in the sunlight. + +Even inside, YoungBoy rarely hangs out upstairs. He usually stays up until dawn in the basement, playing Xbox or recording songs all night, never touching pen to paper โ€” instead, he freestyles line by line according to whatโ€™s weighing on his mind. By his estimate, over 1,000 unreleased tracks currently sit in the vaults. His nocturnal tendencies are a โ€œprotection thing,โ€ he explains. โ€œIt has been like that since I was 15: Iโ€™ve got to be somewhere where I actually know no one is inside the room,โ€ he says in a voice I have to lean in to hear, a near whisper that feels worlds away from the fearless squawk that booms out in his songs, hurling threats at a seemingly endless number of enemies. โ€œI like to just stay in one small space where I donโ€™t have to worry about anything thatโ€™s not safe.โ€ + +For a while, he had a habit of sleeping in the garage โ€” in the Tesla, where he could turn on the heat without fear of death by carbon monoxide poisoning, and where he and his engineer, XO, would sometimes record. Lately, he stays up smoking cigars in the basement โ€” his last remaining vice, he says. โ€œNighttime, when everybodyโ€™s asleep โ€” itโ€™s the most peaceful time ever inside of life to me,โ€ he whispers. โ€œNighttime, when itโ€™s dark and nothingโ€™s moving but the wildlife and the crooks.โ€ He has seen his share of deer and rabbits scurrying around the property, and though he has yet to spy a bobcat, the security guards have. He watches for intruders, too, a matter of routine. What he likes best is that itโ€™s peaceful here, and that โ€œitโ€™s very far from home.โ€ + +--- + +**Kentrell Gaulden wrote his first song** in fourth grade, and he still remembers how it started. He giggles as he launches in: โ€œIt goes, โ€˜Pโ€”y nโ€”s always in my face/Bang, bang, bang, there go the murder case.โ€™ And I keep saying it.โ€ Growing up in north Baton Rouge, his mother, an amateur rapper herself under the name Ms.ย Sherhonda, would bring Kentrell and his older sister to watch her record in a neighborโ€™s home studio. His father was sentenced to 55 years for armed robbery when he was 8. Years later, when a teenage Gaulden was locked up himself for a 2014 robbery charge, he received a letter from another jail โ€” from his father, telling his son about his own musical dabblings. โ€œI never had a Planย B. This is what I was set on becoming,โ€ YoungBoy says, his narrow frame engulfed in a skull-patterned puffer jacket, a tangle of diamonds flashing underneath. His early songs inspired a school friend to write his own, and YoungBoy smiles remembering the two giddily trading rhymes before class. โ€œBut he died,โ€ he adds, barely breaking his gaze. โ€œIf Iโ€™m not mistaken, they was robbing someone, and as he took off, he met his consequence.โ€ + +The Baton Rouge in YoungBoyโ€™s raps is rife with mortal danger, a place where death is an old acquaintance and betrayal lurks around every corner. On 2016โ€™s โ€œ38ย Baby,โ€ around the time the rapperโ€™s local buzz was going national, YoungBoy half-sang, half-rapped that he โ€œgot the law up on my ass, demons up in my dreams,โ€ claiming to not even step in the recording booth unarmed. It was startling to see who was behind such a nihilistic worldview: a gangly teen whose baby face was marked three times across the forehead with scars from a halo brace he wore after breaking his neck as a toddler. Artist Partner Group CEO Mike Caren (who worked for years with YoungBoyโ€™s former label, Atlantic, and the artistโ€™s own Never Broke Again imprint, and remains his publisher), remembers his first time seeing the โ€œ38ย Babyโ€ video. + +โ€œThe intensity was so powerful,โ€ Caren recalls. โ€œHe was youthful and seasoned at the same time. He had presence, a natural sense of melody, and he painted an entire picture of his world.โ€ A bitter brand of authenticity emerged from the contrast of YoungBoyโ€™s boyishness and the obvious trauma that hovered over him like a black cloud. To hear one of his songs was to listen in on the shockingly intimate confessions of someone forced into adulthood against his will, and to witness his expression catch up to his experience in real time. + +You could cherry-pick the history of Louisiana [hip-hop](https://www.billboard.com/t/hip-hop/) and cobble together something like a precedent for YoungBoy: the swampy street tales and prolific output of the labels Noย Limit and Cash Money; the embrace of balladry, bounce and traumatized blues; the pure indifference to industry protocols. YoungBoyโ€™s early releases gestured to 20-odd years of Baton Rouge [rap](https://www.billboard.com/t/rap/), from Trill Entertainmentโ€™s dark-sided club jams to Kevin Gatesโ€™ warbled bloodletting โ€” music that was sometimes about women or money but mostly, and most profoundly, about pain. In recent years, YoungBoyโ€™s rapping has matured into a style that stands apart from his predecessors, veering off into complicated rhythms and electrifying spoken-word diatribes, as on last yearโ€™s eight-minute missive [โ€œThis Not a Song (This for My Supporters),โ€](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHAF_G1Rst4&ab_channel=YoungBoyNeverBrokeAgain) where he warns listeners not to be fooled by the glamour of gangster rap. Still, the old pain sears through nearly every freestyled verse. + +It was his โ€œpain musicโ€ in particular that first drew the attention of Kyle โ€œMontanaโ€ Claiborne, a wisecracking 36-year-old Baton Rouge native. YoungBoyโ€™s songs were only available on YouTube in 2016 when the two met, and though Montana was twice YoungBoyโ€™s age, the music hit him hard. โ€œI wasnโ€™t a rapper, but I wanted to live like a rapper,โ€ he says, and with no real industry experience, he became the 16-year-oldโ€™s right-hand man, driving him hours to play shows for $500 a pop. YoungBoyโ€™s buzz was steadily building on YouTube and Instagram โ€œback when followers was real and organic,โ€ Montana stresses. Meanwhile, he was recording enough music to drop an album per week, propelled by a private urgency. + +The Never Broke Again label was created in Montanaโ€™s name since YoungBoy was a minor; today, they share ownership of the company, which partnered with Motown in 2021, a year ahead of YoungBoyโ€™s solo deal with the label. In late 2016, the pair traveled to New Orleans to meet in a parking lot with Fee Banks, who had helped Lil Wayne launch his Young Money label and managed Gates into stardom. Banks saw in YoungBoy a similar greatness and immediately took over as his manager. + +โ€œYoungBoy was moving fast, but he had a lot of drama attached to him,โ€ Banks recalls. โ€œSoon as I got in touch with him, he went to jail. Anything he got into, we got him out, and every time he got out of jail, heโ€™d gotten bigger. Throughout all the trials and tribulations, we kept it moving, kept recording, kept shooting videos and stayed down.โ€ + +YoungBoyโ€™s buzz had caught the ear of another Louisiana native: Bryan โ€œBirdmanโ€ Williams, who co-founded Cash Money Records and mentored a young Lil Wayne, among many others. In his signature twang, Williams recalls flying a teenage YoungBoy to Miami, where they recorded daily for two weeks, working on what eventually became their 2021 collaborative album, *From the Bayou*. โ€œWatching how fast he do music and the value of the music, I saw a lot of similarities between him and Wayne,โ€ he says. โ€œI seen stardom in him, but I knew it was a process.โ€ + +Williams made it a mission to impress upon the teenager that he had a choice: the life he was raised in or the music. โ€œI once was somebody like him and had to gamble my life. I wanted to show him that he could really survive off his talent,โ€ he continues. โ€œYou could go to jail, or you could die, or you could try to be somebody.โ€ As he does with Wayne, he refers to YoungBoy as a son. + +![YoungBoy Never Broke Again](https://www.billboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/coverstory-youngboy-never-broke-again-billboard-2023-bb01-diwang-valdez-3-1548.jpg?w=300) + +Diwang Valdez + +By the time labels had entered a bidding war, YoungBoy was a cult hero with eight mixtapes under his belt. He was also a teenage father of three being tried as an adult for attempted murder, facing a life sentence without parole. He had been apprehended before a show in Austin, accused of a nonfatal Baton Rouge shooting that occurred hours after a friendโ€™s murder; after six months awaiting trial in a Louisiana prison, he ultimately took a plea deal. At his 2017 sentencing โ€” by which point he had committed to a $2ย million deal with Atlantic Records โ€” the judge cited his music as a means of โ€œnormalizing violence,โ€ one of many recent instances of rap lyrics being used as evidence in criminal proceedings. With your talent, she lectured, comes responsibility. He received a suspended 10-year prison term with three years of probation. More disturbing allegations emerged in the years to follow, including kidnapping, assault and weapons charges tied to a 2018 incident recorded in a hotel hallway showing the rapper attacking his girlfriend. + +One night in prison while YoungBoy was on lockdown (โ€œFor no disciplinary reason โ€” it was because of who I wasโ€), he prayed to see his late grandmother one last time. He had lived in her home for much of his childhood, crying on the occasions when he had to return to his momโ€™s house. Her name, Alice Gaulden, frequently appears in his lyrics, and her massive painted portrait hangs by the fireplace; after our interview, I catch him smiling beneath it in silence, one hand resting on the image of her face. โ€œAnd I remember, I ainโ€™t crazy โ€” she *hugged* me. I felt her,โ€ he recalls softly, and despite his serene expression, his legs begin to tremble, at first subtly, then unignorably. โ€œAfter that, I didnโ€™t want to go back to sleep. I didnโ€™t even care about the situation I was in. I felt like I was secure.โ€ + +His grandmother died in 2010, and YoungBoy was sent to a group home. โ€œI used to get beat up inside the group home for no reason,โ€ he continues as the shaking intensifies, though his quiet voice never falters. โ€œThe other boys would put their hands on me, and I would look up like, โ€˜Why are you hitting me, bro? Whatโ€™d I do?โ€™ It made me discover another side of me that I never glorified or liked. I found out how to be the person that you donโ€™t want to do that with. \[Before then\], I never understood all the evilness or wrong because I was showered by so much love from this one person.โ€ + +By now, YoungBoy is shaking from head to toe with alarming intensity, his jewelry audibly rattling. โ€œItโ€™s not going to stop,โ€ he calmly replies when I suggest we take a break. Quintina, who began as his accountant and now appears to also function as a surrogate mother, kneels beside his chair to hold his hand. โ€œIโ€™m OK,โ€ YoungBoy assures her. Composing himself, though the trembling continues, he focuses his gaze. + +โ€œIโ€™m very scared right now,โ€ he confesses. โ€œItโ€™s just natural. Iโ€™m not big on people.โ€ For most of his life, expressing or explaining himself has taken place behind a microphone, alone. โ€œI never knew why once I walked on the stage, I could get it done and leave โ€” but I am *terrified* of people. People are cruel. This is a *cruel* place.โ€ He swivels in his seat toward the blue and white panorama behind him. โ€œYouโ€™ve got to be thankful for it. Itโ€™s very beautiful, you know? Thereโ€™s so much you can experience inside of it. But it is a very cruel place. And itโ€™s not my home.โ€ The smile he cracks has a strange effect โ€” sweetness embedded in a wince. + +โ€œI donโ€™t want to know what it means to die โ€” but do we actually die, or do we go on to the *real* life? What if weโ€™re all just asleep right now?โ€ he wonders aloud as the shaking dies down. โ€œItโ€™s all a big test, I think.โ€ + +![YoungBoy Never Broke Again](https://www.billboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/coverstory-youngboy-never-broke-again-billboard-2023-bb01-diwang-valdez-6-1240.jpg?w=200) + +Diwang Valdez + +--- + +**Perhaps youโ€™re wondering how** a Baton Rouge rapper on house arrest finds himself deep in the heart of Mormon country. Those listening closely may have noticed YoungBoy name-dropping Utahโ€™s capital from the beginning: โ€œTake a trip to Salt Lake City, cross the mountain, โ€™cause thatโ€™s called living,โ€ he chirped on [โ€œKickin Sh-tโ€](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1QYOr1vWak&ab_channel=WORLDSTARHIPHOP) seven years ago. He first came here as a boy, he explains, as part of a youth outreach group initiative, and became very close with one of its leaders, a Utah native he declines to name, though he mentions she was married at the time to a professional baseball player. Today, he refers to the woman as his mom. โ€œSheโ€™s a wonderful person. Sheโ€™s just there when I need her,โ€ he says softly. โ€œShe christened me, if Iโ€™m not mistaken, and then she brought me back here to meet her family. When I got here, it was always my goal: Iโ€™m going to move here. Iโ€™m going to have a home here. This is where my family is going to be.โ€ Courtroom testimony from his 2021 hearing shows his attorneys reasoning that a permanent move to Utah would keep their client away from trouble; after some initial skepticism, the judge agreed. + +The past few months of YoungBoy songs are full of curious Utah-isms, like the Book of Mormon passage that opens his video for [โ€œHiย Hatersโ€](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3V8aen7Flhs&ab_channel=YoungBoyNeverBrokeAgain) โ€” โ€œNow, as my mind caught hold upon this thought, I cried within my heart: Oย Jesus, thou Son of God, have mercy on me, who am in the gall of bitterness, and am encircled about by the everlasting chains of deathโ€ โ€” or a recent line mentioning missionaries visiting his home. โ€œIโ€™m surprised they didnโ€™t come in the process of this \[interview\],โ€ he says when I ask about the latter reference. The first time the Mormon missionaries appeared on his doorstep, weeks ago, YoungBoy instinctively sent them away. Then he had second thoughts: โ€œI wanted help very badly. I needed a friend. And it hit me.โ€ + +When they returned, he invited them in, explaining the things about himself he was desperate to change. โ€œIt was just cool to see someone with a different mindset that had nothing to do with business or money โ€” just these wonderful souls,โ€ he recounts. He has come to look forward to their daily visits, during which they discuss the Book of Mormon and โ€œmake sure my heart is in the right spaceโ€ for his official baptism into the Church of Jesus Christ the Latter-day Saints, a rite that forgives past sins through repentance, according to Mormon theology. Heโ€™s saving the ceremony for after his ankle monitor is removed. โ€œEven when my negative thoughts come back, when I do want to tell them, โ€˜Not today,โ€™ I just donโ€™t let nothing stop it,โ€ he says. (Later I learn that during our talk, two carloads of chipper, clean-cut missionaries in their early 20s did, in fact, appear at the propertyโ€™s gate and were turned away only due to the visitor limit.) + +![YoungBoy Never Broke Again](https://www.billboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/coverstory-youngboy-never-broke-again-billboard-2023-bb01-diwang-valdez-1-1548.jpg?w=300) + +Diwang Valdez + +As for whether the missionaries know who he is, YoungBoy doesnโ€™t ask; frankly, it could go either way. He epitomizes โ€œinvisible music stardom,โ€ the streaming-era phenomenon in which artists have massive fan bases but relatively minor pop culture footprints, illustrating a disjunction between whatโ€™s promoted and what is truly resonating. His particular success is often attributed to his relentless productivity, in some ways more like that of a โ€œcontent creatorโ€ than a traditional musician. โ€œI have never heard of a fan saying that their favorite artist is putting out too much music unless the quality goes down,โ€ says Caren, noting YoungBoyโ€™s impressive consistency. + +As for his lack of a ubiquitous hit โ€” for all of his chart-topping full-lengths and 96 Hotย 100 entries, the highest YoungBoy has charted as a sole lead artist has been No.ย 28, for 2020โ€™s [โ€œLilย Topโ€](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUmYlsulfYo&ab_channel=YoungBoyNeverBrokeAgain) and 2021โ€™s [โ€œBad Morningโ€](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=249kxCTS2os&ab_channel=YoungBoyNeverBrokeAgain) โ€” Caren argues he has had them, just not in the places youโ€™d expect. โ€œHe moved too fast for the radio. He was always on to the next thing. You canโ€™t stick around and promote the same song for five months when youโ€™re making multiple albums in that time period.โ€ And though his numbers are mighty across all streaming platforms (on Spotify, he has over 17ย million monthly listeners), his popularity is most closely associated with YouTube, where his fans first found him, and where he can upload new music directly to his 12.1ย million subscribers, bypassing the mainstream industry apparatus entirely. + +It was YoungBoyโ€™s peerless work ethic that first grabbed the attention of Motown vp of A&R Kenoe Jordan. The Grammy-nominated producer and fellow Baton Rouge native had monitored the rapperโ€™s career from the jump, impressed by what the teenager and his Never Broke Again label had accomplished with limited resources. โ€œIn Louisiana, we have the most talented musicians in the world, but the window of opportunity is very small,โ€ Jordan says from the work-in-progress Never Broke Again headquarters in Houston: half office building, half giant garage full of lethal-looking ATVs and bench press racks. After signing a global joint venture with the Never Broke Again label, Jordan was determined to sign YoungBoy himself, who had voiced frustration with Atlantic in some since-deleted online comments that had some fans petitioning Atlantic to release him from his deal. Jordan announced YoungBoyโ€™s signing with Motown in October 2022, following the completion of his contract with Atlantic. + +Jordan calls YoungBoy and company some of the hardest-working people in the industry, known to spring an impromptu album on the label without warning. โ€œHis formula is already there,โ€ Jordan adds. โ€œHe knows what he wants. You just have to make sure youโ€™re able to deliver on the things that he asks you to do.โ€ YoungBoyโ€™s partners have simply learned to trust him whether or not they see the vision. Montana laughs remembering nights spent driving to undisclosed locations: โ€œHe do some of the oddest things, and nobody knows why heโ€™s doing it but him.โ€ + +![YoungBoy Never Broke Again](https://www.billboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/coverstory-youngboy-never-broke-again-billboard-2023-bb01-diwang-valdez-5-1240.jpg?w=226) + +Diwang Valdez + +As strategies go, YoungBoyโ€™s makes sense โ€” flood the market, circumvent the system, keep the fans and the algorithms satiated โ€” but it doesnโ€™t entirely explain why he puts out as much music as he does. What analysts would credit to a master plan, YoungBoy describes as a compulsion. โ€œItโ€™s a disease,โ€ he says starkly. โ€œLiterally, I cannot help myself. I tell myself sometimes, โ€˜Iโ€™m not going to drop until months from now,โ€™ but itโ€™s addictive. I wish I knew when I was younger how unhealthy this was for me. Whatever type of energy I had inside me, I wouldโ€™ve pushed it toward something else.โ€ From someone whose music seems like his truest form of release, itโ€™s an astonishing claim. โ€œThe music is therapy, but I canโ€™t stop it when I want,โ€ he goes on, sounding almost ashamed. โ€œAnd the lifestyle is just a big distraction from your real purpose.โ€ + +As if some private dam has broken, YoungBoyโ€™s words now spill out urgently. โ€œIโ€™m at a point now in my life where I just know hurting people is not the way, and I feel very manipulated, even at this moment,โ€ he says, his brown eyes flashing. โ€œI was set on being the greatest at what I did and what I spoke about. Man, I was flooded with millions of dollars from the time I was 16 all the way to this point, and I woke up one morning like, โ€˜Damn. They *got* me. They made me do their dirty work.โ€™ Man, look at the sh-t I put in these peopleโ€™s ears.โ€ By โ€œthey,โ€ heโ€™s alluding to the rappers he once looked up to as examples of how to live and those who bankroll them. His voice wavers, then steadies. โ€œI think about how many lives I actually am responsible for when it comes to my music. How many girls I got feeling like if you donโ€™t go about a situation that your boyfriendโ€™s bringing on you in *his* way, youโ€™re wrong? How many people have put this sh-t in their ears and actually went and hurt someone? Or how many kids felt like they needed to tote a gun and walked out the house and toted it the wrong way? Now heโ€™s fixing to sit there and do years of his life that he canโ€™t get back.โ€ + +A shiver streaks through him again, rattling his knees. โ€œI was brought up around a lot of fโ€“ked-up sh-t โ€” thatโ€™s what I knew, and thatโ€™s what I gave back to the world,โ€ YoungBoy continues, spitting out his words like theyโ€™re sour. โ€œI was like, โ€˜Fโ€“k the world before they fโ€“k you.โ€™ I was a child, you know? And now I know better, so it ainโ€™t no excuse at all for how I carry on today.โ€ His gaze doesnโ€™t flinch. โ€œIt took lots of time to make my music strong enough to get it to where I could captivate you. I promise to clean whatever I can clean, but itโ€™s going to take time, just like it took time for me to get it to that point.โ€ He takes a sharp breath, then whispers: โ€œI was wrong. And Iโ€™m sorry. Iโ€™m sorry.โ€ + +--- + +**YoungBoyโ€™s music is commonly understood** as brooding, ruthless and retaliatory. A running meme shows his fans moving through life with comic aggression: belligerently whipping clean laundry into the basket, holding up a rubber duck at gunpoint in the bath. Thatโ€™s an oversimplification of the range of his subject matter โ€” family, betrayal, loyalty, loss โ€” but it isnโ€™t entirely off the mark, either; on YouTube, listeners have compiled extensive playlists with titles like โ€œ1ย Hour of Violent [NBA YoungBoy](https://www.billboard.com/t/nba-youngboy/) Music (Partย 4).โ€ Itโ€™s a specter that looms over the bulk of his catalog, from early videos where his teenage friends wave Glocks at the camera to songs like last yearโ€™s [โ€œIย Hate YoungBoy,โ€](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-PaOWxvnz0&ab_channel=YoungBoyNeverBrokeAgain) where he fires warning shots at half the industry and drops ominous bars like โ€œIโ€™m gonโ€™ be rich inside my casket once my time gone.โ€ Itโ€™s tough to imagine what a pacifist YoungBoy song might sound like, much less an entire album of it, and recent attempts at anti-violence messaging havenโ€™t landed the way he intended: โ€œAs I start to promote the peace and say, โ€˜Stop the violence,โ€™ I think Iโ€™m inciting a riot,โ€ he rapped on โ€œThis Not a Song (This for My Supporters)โ€ last year. + +โ€œPacifist YoungBoyโ€ isnโ€™t fully realized on his latest record, *Iย Rest My Case* โ€” his first for Motown, which he dropped with almost no promotion on Jan.ย 6. (It was the day before his private wedding to Mychelle, a 20-year-old beauty YouTuber who quietly tends to the babies in between posing for a few photos, at his insistence, during the cover shoot.) But it is a step in that direction, an album that mostly traffics in extravagant stunting over buzz-saw synths associated with the EDM/trap hybrid known as rage music. To celebrate its release, YoungBoy invited around 50 giddy fans over for a snowball fight and video shoot, jumping atop his Bentley truck to blast album opener [โ€œBlackโ€](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFBVYRy962k&ab_channel=YoungBoyNeverBrokeAgain) from the court-approved safety of the driveway. The noisy crowd dispersed only when a couple emerged from next door to request they keep it down. โ€œItโ€™s a lot of old people here, really,โ€ a poncho-clad blonde โ€” the same one who had driven curiously past the house weeks before โ€” cheerfully tells a TikTok reporter. โ€œIf he comes and asks, would you spare him a cup of flour?โ€ the TikToker asks. โ€œOf course we would!โ€ she replies. + +![YoungBoy Never Broke Again](https://www.billboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/coverstory-youngboy-never-broke-again-billboard-2023-bb01-diwang-valdez-4-1548.jpg?w=300) + +YoungBoy Never Broke Again photographed on December 16, 2022 in Utah. Diwang Valdez + +*Iย Rest My Case* is an obvious departure, lyrically and aesthetically, from what YoungBoyโ€™s fans are used to, and across the internet, early reactions were mixed: Some praised their favorite rapperโ€™s innovation, others longed for the old days. YoungBoyโ€™s previous album, *The Last Slimeto*, debuted last August at No.ย 2 on the Billboardย 200 with 108,000 equivalent album units, according to Luminate; just five months later, *Iย Rest My Case* debuted at No.ย 9 with 29,000 equivalent album units. โ€œBe completely honest: Do you want YB back on drugs toting guns if it means we gon get that old YB back?โ€ read one Reddit post. + +YoungBoy expected this. โ€œIโ€™m very curious to see how the world goes about me now,โ€ he contemplated weeks before in his living room, adding that he tried to avoid the usual mentions of guns, though there are still a few. He has thought a lot about what attracted people to his music until now: โ€œThey listened because of who I supposedly was or showed I was and what I rapped about. Now itโ€™s nail polish and face paint, and the music is not the same.โ€ (Lately, alongside the black nails, he and Mychelle like to paint their faces like goth Jokers and skulk around the property at night.) โ€œWhat if they donโ€™t like me now?โ€ he wonders, fiddling with a diamond pinky ring. โ€œYou canโ€™t be on top forever, you know? Because Iโ€™m not changing. I will not be provoked, I will not be broken, and Iโ€™m *not* going back to who I used to be. Accept it or not โ€” I ainโ€™t going back.โ€ YoungBoy breaks into a smile. โ€œIโ€™m only going to get more groovy from here.โ€ Heโ€™s already preparing his next album, which heโ€™s calling *Donโ€™t Try This at Home*. + +Only once does YoungBoy remember it snowing in Baton Rouge; here in the mountains this time of year, it sits at least two feet deep daily. After checking briefly on the babies, he lights a cigar and beckons me through the garage and down toward the wooded dirt bike track, yelping for XO to join us. Out here, itโ€™s a postcard: white trees, white mountains, ice blue sky. Everyoneโ€™s up to their knees in snow, and no oneโ€™s more excited about it than YoungBoy, whose ripped white jeans and jacket have now become camouflage. He points animatedly to where the bike path goes, a clearing where you can do doughnuts. โ€œFiveย K for a snow angel!โ€ he dares XO, who came hardly prepared in a hoodie and slides. โ€œJust fall back! But at least put your hood on.โ€ XO topples backward into a puff of powder and sweeps out an angel silhouette to YoungBoyโ€™s delight, and the two laugh as they tramp back uphill. + +As for what will happen when his ankle monitor is removed, YoungBoy would rather not think about it. No date is currently scheduled for his remaining federal trial, according to an email from his lawyer, because โ€œthe government is appealing the courtโ€™s ruling on our motion to suppress evidence, and that matter is pending before the United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.โ€ They declined to comment on his bail conditions. โ€œThe day I walk out this door and am free to do what I want, itโ€™s going to be a lot of doing, or it will be done *to* me,โ€ YoungBoy says. โ€œSo Iโ€™m not rushing back to that. I have a family.โ€ He doesnโ€™t plan to leave Utah anytime soon, though eventually, he would like to buy a place with even more land โ€œwhere no one knows whatโ€™s going on on it.โ€ He has spoken previously about his disinterest in touring but might reconsider if the shows were overseas where he could see some new places โ€” he has always wanted to visit the Eiffel Tower, especially since watching *Ratatouille*. Asked what he looks forward to most, YoungBoy hesitates for a moment. โ€œChange,โ€ he replies softly. โ€œI am very curious of the person who I shall become.โ€ + +![YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Billboard Cover](https://www.billboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/youngboy-never-broke-again-billboard-cover-02042023-1500.jpg?w=231) + +*[This story will appear in the Feb. 4, 2023, issue of](http://shop.billboard.com/)* [Billboard](http://shop.billboard.com/)*[.](http://shop.billboard.com/)* + +  +  + +--- +`$= dv.el('center', 'Source: ' + dv.current().Link + ', ' + dv.current().Date.toLocaleString("fr-FR"))` \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/00.04 IT/33 Best Open-Source Software For MacOS In 2023.md b/00.04 IT/33 Best Open-Source Software For MacOS In 2023.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..408901d3 --- /dev/null +++ b/00.04 IT/33 Best Open-Source Software For MacOS In 2023.md @@ -0,0 +1,352 @@ +--- + +Tag: ["๐Ÿ’ป", "๐Ÿ’พ"] +Date: 2023-01-08 +DocType: "WebClipping" +Hierarchy: +TimeStamp: 2023-01-08 +Link: https://paulponraj.com/33-best-open-source-software-for-macos-in-2023/ +location: +CollapseMetaTable: true + +--- + +Parent:: [[@Computer Set Up|Computer Setup]], [[Bookmarks - Mac applications]] +Read:: No + +--- + +  + +```button +name Save +type command +action Save current file +id Save +``` +^button-33BestOpenSourceSoftwareForMacOSIn2023NSave + +  + +# 33 Best Open-Source Software For MacOS In 2023 + +As technology continues to evolve, so does the demand for better open-source software.

Quarter your cauliflower, cut out the core, then tear the quarters into bite-sized chunks. Dice the core into smaller pieces. Place on prepared baking sheet and toss to coat in the oil, salt, and pepper. + +  + +Lop the greens off \*half\* your scallions and slice them thinly, setting them aside. Cut remaining whole and white half of scallions 1-to-2-inch segments. Clear a little space at the end of your cauliflower baking sheet and add the scallion segments to it. Season the pan with additional salt and pepper. + +  + +Roast for 10 minutes then remove tray from oven (leave oven on) and use tongs to remove just the charred scallion segments, placing them in a large bowl. Turn cauliflower pieces over for even browning and return it to the oven for another 5 to 10 minutes, until cauliflower is deeply browned in many spots. Donโ€™t fear the char โ€” it will taste good, not burnt. + +  + +Meanwhile, roughly chop the pistachios. Pit your dates, if needed, and roughly chop. Make a vinaigrette with 3 tablespoons olive oil, the juice of one lemon, plus enough salt and pepper to season it very well. Whisk (or blend, if you are as obsessed with your [electric frother](https://amzn.to/3k4Y0cB) as I am). We want a sharp lemon dressing here, it will get milder as it coats the warm ingrednets, but if itโ€™s definitely too sharp for your taste, blend 1 additional tablespoon olive oil. + +  + +When cauliflower is done, add to bowl with charred scallions, along with dates, pistachios, and reserved scallion greens.

When hot, add the sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until it starts to brown, about five minutes. Add the onion, celery, carrots, first two garlic cloves, a pinch of salt, and if you like your soup spicy, a pinch of red pepper flakes. Cook with the sausage until the vegetables soften a bit, another 5 minutes. Add the lentils, bay leaves, tomatoes, water (6 cups is, conveniently, a little less than 2 empty 28-ounce cans, so you can get any tomato pulp you missed), more salt and black pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and allow to cook until the lentils are tender, about 40 minutes. (It might be necessary to add more water if the soup gets too thick, though we preferred ours on the thick side.) + +  + +When the lentils are cooked, add the chard and cook until the leaves are tender, just a few minutes more. Discard the bay leaves. + +  + +**In an InstantPot or electric multicooker:** Proceed as written above, using the sautรฉ function on high (I find this to be like medium-high on a stove) to cook the sausage and then vegetables. Once youโ€™ve added the remaining ingredients, including dried lentils, lock the lid and set to high pressure for 15 minutes. Let it naturally release for at least 10 minutes (or longer, if you have time), to help keep the vegetables intact. You can manually release the rest. Use the sautรฉ function on high again to bring it back to a simmer (this should be take no time at all) and add the greens; cook until wilted. + +  + +**Both methods:** To finish, divide soup among bowls, then add the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil and 2 garlic cloves to a small skillet (on the stove) and heat over medium until the garlic softens and hisses. Drizzle this over soup bowls, and top with fresh Romano, passing more at the table. Leftovers will keep for several days in the fridge. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/03.03 Food & Wine/Loup de Mer Citron.md b/03.03 Food & Wine/Loup de Mer Citron.md index 8b5d26f6..725f6358 100644 --- a/03.03 Food & Wine/Loup de Mer Citron.md +++ b/03.03 Food & Wine/Loup de Mer Citron.md @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ ServingSize: 2 cssclass: recipeTable -Tag: ["๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ", "๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ", "Easy", "๐Ÿ‹"] +Tag: ["๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ", "๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ", "๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ", "๐Ÿ‹"] Date: 2021-09-21 DocType: "Recipe" Hierarchy: "NonRoot" diff --git a/03.03 Food & Wine/Matar Paneer.md b/03.03 Food & Wine/Matar Paneer.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..902d8e19 --- /dev/null +++ b/03.03 Food & Wine/Matar Paneer.md @@ -0,0 +1,150 @@ +--- + +ServingSize: 6 +cssclass: recipeTable +Alias: [] +Tag: ["๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ", "๐Ÿ›"] +Date: 2023-02-17 +DocType: "Recipe" +Hierarchy: "NonRoot" +location: +CollapseMetaTable: true +Meta: + IsFavourite: False + Rating: +Recipe: + Courses: "Main dish" + Categories: "Curry" + Collections: "Indian" + Source: "https://www.eater.com/22981724/matar-paneer-recipe-julie-sahni-classic-indian-cooking" + PreparationTime: + CookingTime: 55 + OServingSize: 6 +Ingredients: + - 1 cup Indian cheese (paneer) + - 12 tablespoons usli ghee, or Indian vegetable shortening, or light vegetable oil + - 2 cups finely chopped onions + - 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic + - 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger root + - 2 teaspoons ground coriander + - 1 teaspoon turmeric + - 0.325 teaspoon each red and black pepper + - 1 teaspoon paprika + - 2 cups finely chopped or pureed fresh ripe tomatoes, or 1ยฝ cups canned tomatoes with their juice, chopped + - 1.5 cups shelled fresh green peas, or 1 (10-ounce) package frozen peas, defrosted + - 2 teaspoons kosher salt + - 2 teaspoons garam masala + - 4 tablespoons finely chopped fresh coriander leaves + +--- + +Parent:: [[@@Recipes|Recipes]], [[@Main dishes|Main dishes]] + +--- + +  + +```button +name Edit Recipe parameters +type command +action MetaEdit: Run MetaEdit +id EditMetaData +``` +^button-MatarPaneerEdit + +```button +name Save +type command +action Save current file +id Save +``` +^button-MatarPaneerNSave + +  + +# Matar Paneer + +  + +```toc +style: number +``` + +  + +--- + +  + +### ๐Ÿ—’ Practical Informations + +```dataview +list without id + "" + + + "" ++ + "" + + + "" + + + "" + + + "" + + + "" + + + "" + + + "" + + + "

When the ghee is hot, add the cheese pieces. Keep a saucepan lid or spatter screen handy, since the moisture from the cheese may be released explosively, causing tiny particles of cheese to fly all over. Dusting the paneer pieces with a little flour prevents splattering. Fry the cheese, turning and tossing often to prevent sticking and burning, until lightly seared (about 5 minutes.) Transfer the pieces to a bowl. (The paneer should be fried in batches so that there is ample room in the pan for turning them without fear of their breaking.) + +  + +**Step 3:** Add the remaining ghee to the pan, and increase the heat to high. Add the onions, and fry until they turn light brown (about 5 minutes), stirring constantly so that they do not burn. Add the garlic and ginger, and fry for an additional 2 minutes.

Reduce the heat to medium, and cook the sauce, covered, for 20 minutes. Cool the sauce briefly. Then puree it in an electric blender or food processor, leaving the sauce a little coarse so that is has a certain texture. + +  + +**Step 5:** Return the sauce to the pan. Add the peas, salt, and the fried cheese, along with ยฝ cup hot water, and bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, covered, until the peas are cooked through (about 15 minutes for fresh peas and 5 for frozen). Turn off the heat and let the dish rest, covered, for an hour before serving. When ready to serve, heat thoroughly. Fold in the garam masala and chopped coriander leaves. Check for salt, and serve. + +  + +> [!note] *Note:* +> This dish tastes best if made a couple of hours before serving. The resting allows the flavors of the different ingredients to blend and mellow. It may be refrigerated for up to 3 days without loss of flavor.
