we don't know that 'they are guilty'
Essendon says it will defend its players and officials against allegations of drug cheating. The view seems to be that ''everyone knows they are guilty''.
This bellicose insistence that forensic information gathered by the AFL and ASADA is the same as ''proof'' that anti doping violations have been committed is naive. There have been cases in sport and other jurisdictions when, despite meticulously collected evidence presented by prosecutors, a defendant has been found not guilty.
Australia should be governed by the rule of law at all levels of activity not media commentary. The AFL has signed on to a code with ASADA, which in turn is signed in with the regulations of the World Anti Doping Agency. These are mechanisms put in place to ensure that drugs in sport are not tolerated. Essendon ran an ''experimental'' pharmacological program and is now paying the price. Taking the AFL and ASADA to court for its own wrongdoing will only prolong the pain for all.
I feel sorry for players caught up in this sorry mess, but ultimately they must be responsible for what they ingest. As a parent of a junior footballer, I need to see this matter dealt with appropriately so that it may never happen again.

A plea for natural justice
Thank you, Essendon chairman Paul Little (pictured above), for injecting some sanity into ASADA's Mad Hatters Tea Party. ASADA seems intent on punishing Essendon, driving it into the football wilderness for a second season even though nobody has yet been convicted of anything.
Essendon was tried and severely punished by the AFL last year. Tossed out of the finals is a harsh punishment for a player. Also, the club was ''fined'' hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost gate takings. If the AFL did the right thing then, I believe ASADA is being unjust by conducting a second trial and punishing the players further.
These men are footballers, nor forensic scientists. They were told by a ''sports scientist'' that the injections were legal. How, without revealing club secrets to an outsider, could they have established anything different? I can only hope, in the interests of natural justice, that Mr Little's court action removes replica hermes jewelry the threat of further sanctions from the unfortunate players.

What are cheap replica hermes the Bombers afraid of?
Paul Little says ''we will not be bullied''. How does ASADA performing hermes clutch replica its regulatory responsibilities constitute bullying? Little looks desperate in clinging to technical procedural elements to avoid facing up to the substance of what are very serious allegations. The only way the suffering will end is if he allows the ASADA process to run its full course.

Back into Iraq?
''Abbott flags military action in Iraq'' (The Saturday Age, 14/6) fills one with anguish and despair. The United States and its allies invaded Iraq premised on the lie that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. The US dropped more than half a million tonnes of bombs, killed between 500,000 and 1 million Iraqis (depending on who did the counting), created 5 million orphans and a similar number of refugees.
This is one of the greatest crimes against humanity, and has been carried out mainly by four Christian nations: the US, Britain, Australia and Canada.
What is happening now is a repetition of the end of the Vietnam War when the communist forces decisively won. Iraq is being taken over by al Qaeda type forces, the enemies of the US.
Not even a single dead Iraqi or American is worth an allied
re entry into military action. Iraq may be a success story in the long run, like Vietnam. Australia should allow this to happen, rather than attempt another military intervention.

vote lead narrows to 51
Votes for constitutional change to hand President Tayyip Erdogan sweeping powers held a narrow lead with almost all ballot boxes opened, but Turkey's three largest cities and the mainly Kurdish southeast looked set to vote "No".
The "Yes" votes stood at 51.7 per cent after 95 per cent of ballots had been opened, state run Anadolu news agency said, with the lead narrowing in the final stages of an increasingly tight count.
The outcome will also shape Turkey's strained relations with the European Union. The NATO member state has curbed the flow of refugees from wars in Syria and Iraq into the bloc but replica hermes Erdogan says he may review the deal after the vote.
In Turkey's three biggest cities Istanbul, Izmir and the capital Ankara the "No" camp appeared set to prevail narrowly, according to Turkish television stations.
Speaking to reporters in Ankara, Deputy Prime Minister Veysi Kaynak said the "Yes" camp had not won as many votes as expected.
Voting at a school near his home in Istanbul, Erdogan said: "God willing I believe our people will decide to open the path to much more rapid development."
The "Yes" percentage of the vote hermes enamel h bracelet replica which stood at 63 per cent after around one quarter had been opened eased as the count came further west towards Istanbul and the Aegean coast.
The opposition People's Republican Party (CHP) said a last minute decision by the electoral board to accept unstamped ballots as valid votes put the vote in question.
"We will pursue a legal battle. If the irregularities are not fixed, there will be a serious legitimacy discussion," CHP deputy chairman Bulent Tezcan said.
Erdogan and his supporters say the changes are needed to amend the current constitution, written by generals following a 1980 military coup.
The government says Turkey, faced with conflict to the south in Syria and Iraq, and a security threat from Islamic State and PKK militants, needs strong leadership to combat terrorism.
Kurdish militants fake hermes bracelet overnight killed a guard in an attack on a vehicle carrying a district official from Yildirim's ruling AK Party in southeast Turkey's Van province, security sources said.
In the southeastern Diyarbakir province, two people were killed and one wounded in a gunfight in a village schoolyard which was being used as a polling station, other security sources said. The cause of the clash was not immediately clear.
Erdogan and the AK Party enjoyed a disproportionate share of media coverage in the buildup to the vote, overshadowing the secular hermes best replica main opposition CHP and the pro Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP).
CHP leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu has accused Erdogan of seeking a "one man regime", and said the proposed changes would put the country in danger.

Want To Be Called Vice Presidential Candidate
I've had a number of readers ask me if this post is "satire" or "unfortunate reality." I'm afraid it's both. The piece is intended as satire. The fact that so many people have taken it seriously reflects the utter nonsense of the 2016 presidential election, and in particular, the GOP candidates. When the story of this campaign is finally recorded, the most accurate depictions of it will come not from reporters but hermes kelly bag price replica from satirists and editorial cartoonists. Thank you all for your comments.
Mike Pence, GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump's running mate, told the news media at hermes kelly price copy a press conference Thursday that he no longer wants to be called a vice presidential candidate.
The Indiana governor, an evangelical Christian, explained that he opposes the word "vice" on religious grounds. Pence said that the Bible has strict prohibitions against vice. He said the word "vice" means, among other things, "immoral" or "wicked behavior."
"That's not who I am, and that's not who I want people to think I am," he said. "I can't in good faith willingly condone a word I find deplorable without violating my Christian principles."
Pence's statement came a few days after he refused to use the word "deplorable" to characterize David Duke, former Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, who has endorsed the Trump Pence ticket.
Pence's comment about Duke came in response to a question after Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate for president, referred to Trump supporters, including Duke, as a " basket of deplorables."
Pence was asked during his press conference if he condemned the word "vice" on Christian principles, why then didn't he condemn the Ku Klux Klan, a white supremacist organization, that openly participates in immoral and wicked behavior?
"I would," he answered. "But if we start criticizing deplorables, we run the risk of losing half our voters."
Pence, who regularly touts his Christian faith, often describes himself as "a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican, in that order."
Pence's critics, however, say he uses the Bible to justify his intolerance for gays but ignores scripture when it comes to feeding the hungry, comforting the persecuted, and helping the needy.
A reporter reminded the Indiana governor that he cut tens of thousands of Hoosiers off food stamps hermes kelly price Knockoff in 2014, saying it would be "ennobling" for poor people.
"The Bible says that the Lord helps those who help themselves," Pence responded.
"But governor," the reporter responded, "that phrase is not in the Bible."
"Never mind," Pence responded, "it's in the Republican Bible."
Another reporter asked Pence about his executive order late last year that ordered an end to the resettlement in Indiana of Syrian refugees most of whom are women and children who were fleeing their war torn country.
The Archdiocese of Indianapolis, among other religious organizations, defied the governor and accepted the refugees. A federal judge overruled Pence's order by saying it "clearly discriminates" against Syrian refugees. Pence challenged the judge's order.
The reporter then referred to Biblical scripture in a follow up question: "Didn't Jesus say, 'Whatever you did for one of the least of these hermes kelly price fake brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me'?"
Pence was then asked if he considered it hypocritical to claim he was a Christian but refuse to allow desperate refugees to seek sanctuary in his state.

WengerOut van for Man City game
Arsenal fans continue to put pressure on Arsene Wenger as they fund van to drive message calling for his sacking before Manchester City game
Arsenal fans arrange van to drive at Emirates Stadium before Sunday's gameThe Gunners face Manchester City in a crucial make or break top four clashA group of fans are determined to force Wenger out of the club after 21 yearsArsenal have lost five of the last six Premier League games and dropped to sixthMessage on van is an Ivan Gazidis quote insisting Wenger is answerable to fansBy
Arsenal fans protesting against Arsene Wenger handed leaflets to fellow supporters ahead of Sunday's clash with Manchester City, with a large van carrying anti Wenger quotes also parking up outside the Emirates Stadium.
Wenger has increasingly split the Gunners fan base in fake hermes bags for sale recent weeks, with six defeats in nine games having left the north London club out of the Champions League and sixth in the Premier League ahead of City's visit.
The Frenchman's contract expires in the summer and he is yet to announce whether he will sign a new deal or leave the club he has managed for over 20 years.
A minority of fans are continuing to protest Wenger's continued reign at the north London club
Seven point plan being distributed. Still fairly quiet down here at the moment.
Almost 4,000 has been raised through a crowdfunding campaign, with some of the funds used to decorate a van with quotes from Wenger and Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis.
The Gazidis quote plastered to the side of the van read: 'Arsene is accountable to the fans they ultimately make judgement. If you are seeing the relationship between the fans and the manager break down over time, that is unsustainable.'
Two fans involved in the march hold a banner calling for 'Wexit' at their club this summer
A link to an online petition was included in the seven points, along with calls to donate to the crowdfunding, and encouragement to send tweets to the official Arsenal account as well as that of their main sponsors.
Earlier in the week, a prominent Arsenal supporters' club called for Wenger to leave as the majority of their members believe he is no longer the right man for the job.
The 1,000 members of the Arsenal Supporters' Trust (AST) were sent a survey which included the question: 'Do you support Arsene Wenger signing a new contract and remaining as Arsenal manager?' Only 15 per cent said 'yes', with 78 per cent of respondents saying 'no'.
Borussia Dortmund's Marco Reus is a longstanding forward target of Arsenal's
The handling of Wenger's contract situation drew even more negative replies, with 86 per cent responding 'no' when asked: 'Do you think the way that the Arsenal board have dealt with Arsene Wenger's contract is in the best interests of Arsenal Football Club?'

Arsenal fans continue to put pressure on Arsene Wenger as they fund van to drive message calling for his sacking before Manchester City game
Arsenal fans arrange van to drive at Emirates Stadium before Sunday's gameThe Gunners face Manchester City in a crucial make or break top four clashA group of fans are determined to force Wenger out of the club after 21 yearsArsenal have lost five of the last six Premier League games and dropped to sixthMessage on van is an Ivan Gazidis quote insisting Wenger is answerable to fansBy
Arsenal fans protesting against Arsene Wenger handed leaflets to fellow supporters ahead of Sunday's clash with Manchester City, with a large van carrying anti Wenger quotes also parking up outside the Emirates Stadium.
Wenger has increasingly split the Gunners fan base in fake hermes bags for sale recent weeks, with six defeats in nine games having left the north London club out of the Champions League and sixth in the Premier League ahead of City's visit.
The Frenchman's contract expires in the summer and he is yet to announce whether he will sign a new deal or leave the club he has managed for over 20 years.
A minority of fans are continuing to protest Wenger's continued reign at the north London club
Seven point plan being distributed. Still fairly quiet down here at the moment.
Almost 4,000 has been raised through a crowdfunding campaign, with some of the funds used to decorate a van with quotes from Wenger and Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis.
The Gazidis quote plastered to the side of the van read: 'Arsene is accountable to the fans they ultimately make judgement. If you are seeing the relationship between the fans and the manager break down over time, that is unsustainable.'
Two fans involved in the march hold a banner calling for 'Wexit' at their club this summer
A link to an online petition was included in the seven points, along with calls to donate to the crowdfunding, and encouragement to send tweets to the official Arsenal account as well as that of their main sponsors.
Earlier in the week, a prominent Arsenal supporters' club called for Wenger to leave as the majority of their members believe he is no longer the right man for the job.
The 1,000 members of the Arsenal Supporters' Trust (AST) were sent a survey which included the question: 'Do you support Arsene Wenger signing a new contract and remaining as Arsenal manager?' Only 15 per cent said 'yes', with 78 per cent of respondents saying 'no'.
Borussia Dortmund's Marco Reus is a longstanding forward target of Arsenal's
The handling of Wenger's contract situation drew even more negative replies, with 86 per cent responding 'no' when asked: 'Do you think the way that the Arsenal board have dealt with Arsene Wenger's contract is in the best interests of Arsenal Football Club?'

Was Hitler's favourite film
There is a scene in Race Stephen Hopkins's film about black athlete Jesse Owens and his four gold medal victories at Hitler's 1936 Berlin Olympics in which German filmmaker Leni cheap enamel on gold jewelry Riefenstahl and Joseph Goebbels have a furious confrontation.
Discovering that the Nazi propaganda minister has interfered with her documentary about the Games and told her cinematographer not to film the 200 metres, which he fears Owens will win, Riefenstahl storms into the stadium and pulls the covers off her cameras.
The director mounted her cameras in innovative positions, using balloons and rafts as well as trenches to capture the very best shots. Her camera moves were highly inventive, her editing added drama and tension not normally associated with documentaries of the time, and Riefenstahl's use of sound and music was groundbreaking.
Time magazine included Olympia in a list of the 100 greatest films of all time, praising its "narrative ingenuity" and claiming that its innovations directly influenced all future televised sports coverage.
Critic and biographer David Thomson, meanwhile, has described Riefenstahl as "arguably the most talented woman ever to make a film".
But while her talents as a filmmaker may be clear to many, her intentions and her character are far more opaque. Though she claimed the International Olympic Committee (IOC) commissioned Olympia, the film was made by a company funded by the German government (a fact conceded in Race). "The founding of the company is necessary because the Reich does not wish to be seen openly as the maker of the film," reads a 1936 letter from the Ministry for Popular Enlightenment and Propaganda.
And while Race suggests Riefenstahl filmed some of Owens's gold medal wins and a smattering of other German defeats, such as the thrashing by India in the hockey final in defiance of Goebbels, the truth is Goebbels intended that the Olympics cheap hermes handbags present a positive and non discriminatory Nazi regime. There was even a cessation of anti Semitic propaganda in the run up to the Games.
"The whole aim of the Propaganda Ministry was to avoid anything that might cast a cloud over the image of the 'new Germany'," says German film expert Rainer Rother. Triumph of the Will, a film about the 1934 Nazi rally in Nuremberg, which portrayed Hitler as a Wagnerian demigod, proudly trumpeted the ruthless exclusion of Jews, gypsies, Leftists and homosexuals, but "the Olympic Games, along with the cinematic Olympia, concealed the policy of exclusion," he says.
When Olympia was broadcast in 1938 it aligned cheap white enamel bracelet with Goebbels's propagandist strategies and many overseas viewed it with that in mind. Riefenstahl's promotional tour of America in the same year started well, despite protests from the Anti Nazi League, but it stalled with news of the Kristallnacht pogroms and her subsequent assertion that she could not believe these reports to be true.
She also faced criticism for Olympia's obsession with the glistening, near perfect human form, which was seen as harmonious with Hitler's adoption of Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of the Ubermensch.
This might be a stretch Riefenstahl had flourished as a dancer before injury curtailed her career and undoubtedly appreciated athletic beauty; her choice of buff lovers attests to the fact.
It is, however, harder to overlook suggestions that someone of her intelligence, and with such close ties to prominent Nazis (she was a regular guest at Goebbels's home and enjoyed picnics with the Fuhrer) would have been entirely ignorant of their doctrine.
"I can't figure her out," Van Houten tells me. "The more I watch or read, the more ambiguous she gets, because she was a Nazi, of course."
In truth, Riefenstahl was never prosecuted as such. Once the Nazi regime fell, both the French and the Americans detained her, though she was released in 1948. She lived until she was 101 and proved fiercely litigious, winning more than 50 libel suits against those who claimed that she was aware of Nazi policy. "My life became a tissue of rumours and accusations," she wrote in her memoirs. "They were all revealed to be false."
It was also true that she had many confrontations with Goebbels, and the propaganda chief bemoaned her "wild" demeanour and found their dealings exasperating.
Race director Stephen Hopkins describes Riefenstahl as a "bohemian, caf society artist with lots of Jewish friends". While discussing her role in his film, he says, "I wanted a view from that side, from someone who wasn't necessarily a political animal and who was seeing things in a different way. For us, she is an incredibly useful character and an incredibly ambiguous character."
For many, the ambiguity replica hermes bracelets has long since diminished. She was Hitler's favourite filmmaker for a reason. Her positive portrayal in Race only adds to the contention.

When the line between documentary and
This story has been updated. Documentary at this year's Sundance Film Festival, Crystal Moselle's debut feature "The Wolfpack" is "the incredible true story of six teenage brothers raised in isolation in New York, with movies as their only outlet to the world," according to the press notes that could also serve as a reality TV pitch. The film focuses on the Angulo brothers eldest Bhagavan, the twins Govinda and Narayana, Mukunda (called the "alpha" of the pack), and younger siblings Krsna and Jagadisa (who now go by Glenn and Eddie, respectively, according to this interview they gave to Vogue) whom Moselle first encountered not far from their Lower East Side apartment as they raced past her, catching the fashion filmmaker's eye with their long hair and striking looks. She chased them down, struck up a conversation, mentioned she was a filmmaker, and voil! a friendship was born.
As time went on Moselle discovered the boys' unusual upbringing. They were raised by a Peruvian dad and a hippie mom from the Midwest, who fell in love at Machu Picchu and traveled the world before landing at a Hare Krishna Center in West Virginia where daughter Visnu (who has special needs and is rarely seen in the film) and the first three boys were born. They traversed the country in a van in the early searching for opportunities for the father who is philosophically opposed to work to become a rock star. (And by the way, much of this I learned from the press notes, not the film.) Arriving in NYC in the mid the siblings were all home schooled and infrequently allowed to leave their Delancey Street apartment once they moved to the Lower East Side.
With little access to the outside world, music and cinema became the kids' refuge. The boys re created favorite flicks like Dark Knight and Fiction, crafting props and costumes from everything from cereal boxes to yoga mats. It was only after Mukunda broke out of the apartment in January 2010 wearing a Michael Meyers mask for protection that their un cloistered lives began. Enter Moselle and her camera.
Recently, I was able to chat with the movie mad brothers, who over the phone come across as incredibly articulate, and impressively socially adjusted for kids who've only been experiencing the world outside of their apartment for five years. Ask them about their January trip to Sundance, and Bhagavan calls it a "turning point" that presented a lot of opportunities. Aspiring DP Govinda mentions meeting Christopher Nolan's brother and Greta Gerwig, and of passing out business cards.
When asked about the parents' initial response to Crystal's presence in the apartment, they allow that though she was the very first guest permitted inside, Mom and Dad nevertheless were welcoming. They say their parents were happy that the boys had made friends, especially with a filmmaker. Mukunda adds that their folks weren't suspicious at all since they shared a common love of movies and also that Crystal was a filmmaker who "came toward us with curiosity."
If you broach the subject of whether there were positive aspects to their shared sheltered existence, Mukunda notes that it "gave us a lot of time to think," and more time to be creative. Bhagavan adds that music was also a part of their lives, specifically bands that their father enjoyed like AC/DC, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. They'd even formed a band themselves not to mention created comic shows that were "like SNL." Though they'd seen Fiction on TV, it wasn't until they emerged into the world that they discovered Dogs. In other words, they sound like fairly run of the mill, artistically inclined adolescents.
Which if you take away the "we were imprisoned in an apartment" angle is what they are.
Without it, a group of boys who re create blockbusters at home isn't all that special three 11 year olds in Mississippi started shooting their homemade of the Lost Ark all the way back in 1982. And eccentrics are a dime a dozen in New York, so home schooled kids with hippie parents and Sanskrit names wouldn't automatically make for compelling documentary material either. What makes the boys interesting exceptional, worthy of the documentary treatment is their cinematic Cinderella tale, one in which they overcome extreme adversity with the help of the silver screen. (Or as the press notes put it, they are "a true example of the power of movies to transform and save lives.") Their hard knock story is catnip especially to both filmmakers and film critics. Truth is often stranger than fiction, of course. I've no idea whether the hermes kelly caleche replica boys were firmly locked away (for a shocking 365 days during one year) throughout their formative years, or whether those claims were exaggerated, but I'll admit little pieces of the stories being told about their story do nag at me.
For example, according to a Daily Mail article from all the way back in February, "Ms. Moselle described first seeing the brothers, on First Avenue, when they were all walking in a wearing sunglasses. Their look had been inspired by a favorite film, Dogs A NY Daily News piece from this past Sundaynotes that "In 2010, on their first night out as a group, they caught the eye of Crystal Moselle, a former School of Visual Arts student and aspiring filmmaker."
Yet one of the brothers, in response to my query as to why their parents would encourage them to re create violent films like Dogs, clearly stated during our phone conversation that they'd not discovered Dogs until after they'd started leaving their apartment. (Though they all quickly stressed that they'd seen Fiction on TV.) How is it that the brothers met Moselle dressed as characters from a movie they had yet to see? I've no idea. The timeline confusion does not necessarily render Dogs any kind of smoking gun, of course in that same Daily News article Moselle is quoted as saying, "They were all dressed in black, with long hair. I instinctually ran after them to talk," with no mention of the Tarantino film.
Perhaps the brothers had seen clips or stills from the flick. Or maybe Moselle had actually met the siblings on their second or third excursion outside and they'd discovered Dogs on their first. Maybe the Daily News had gotten the dates wrong. I'm not picking on the Daily News;this New York Times piece notes, "It was Mukunda, the third youngest and a natural leader, who, in April 2010, at 15, first defied his father's orders and slipped outside." Furnished press notes say that Mukunda escaped in January 2010.
Time could very well take on a different meaning when one is locked away for years on end, for all I know.
(After this article was published, I spoke with Joe Neumaier of the Daily News, and he clarified thatthe brothers did meet Moselle on their first night out as a group, but they were not in their Dogs attire when they met her. Those clothes came later.)
And in a recent interview with KPPC the Frame, Moselle describes the scene with more detail: told us how she first spotted the brothers skateboarding in New York on a rare trip outside of their apartment. Skateboarding a fairly outdoor activity for kids who rarely leave their apartment, and this detail, evocative as it is, doesn make it into all stories written about their first meeting. It a small detail, but the breathless media kelly hermes bag imitation hype that these boys had spent years in isolation often glosses over other parts of their story. According to this week Daily News article: to what's been depicted in press materials, the brothers have not their entire lives locked away from society. Some of the elder boys spent part of their early childhood in California and West Virginia. Once in New York, they were taken on summer outings to Central Park, the American Museum of Natural History and the World Trade Center by their grace kelly purse cheap mother, Susanne, who homeschooled them in the four bedroom LES apartment they moved into in 1996. let's just put speculation aside for now and look at the bigger picture which is why this particular story got to the screen. When it comes right down to it, Moselle found in these boys a once in a lifetime subject, and the boys, with their filmmaking aspirations, needed someone who could make them into stars. I don't think it's incidental that they were seemingly taught at an early age to value not just creativity but fame. (Moselle told KPCC that be honest, I think that their father saw some sort of opportunity for his kids. Because, at the end of the day, he always had these delusions of grandeur, that they would be pop stars or something like that. A little bit of Jackson 5 essence to it. Currently, Govinda, the only brother living outside the home, works in freelance film production and resides in the Bed Stuy section of Brooklyn. It's safe to say this might not be the case were it not for Moselle's divine intervention.
Indeed, Moselle and the family formed a partnership, as do all documentarians and their subjects. However, in this case it was the subjects, and not the director, in firm control, slowly dishing out access like bargaining chips (which explains the doc's odd lack of emotional intimacy). One of the most revealing scenes, in which the siblings' mother reconnects with her own long estranged mother over the phone, is shot not by Moselle, but by one of the boys and kelly hermes bag copy later given to the director as a "present." This family is in firm control of their own narrative.
One could say that the director was being (willingly) used, giving up her right to dig deep Moselle has claimed she wasn't trying to be a journalist or a psychiatrist, just a filmmaker watching events unfold in return for a sensational story. One could even call it a form of mutual exploitation. And in this sense, Wolfpack has more in common with the Kardashians than they do with traditional documentary subjects. I don't classify their story as a "hoax," as aNew York Poststory reported some wondered at Sundance that would be too simplistic an assessment in this modern age of cinematic hybrids but I also don't equate reality TV with cinemavrit. Truth be told, Wolfpack as real as Up With the Kardashians. Sure, I buy that the Kardashians are a real family, but I don't pretend to think they are allowing me into their real lives. I don't know the Kardashians. I have no idea who the Angulos are. And perhaps, quite possibly, neither do they.
And in this sense we're all complicit in crafting Wolfpack narrative. Nuance and complication don't make headlines, after all. We're all editors, shaping the story, cleaning up the messy details of real life, avoiding contact with what got left on the cutting room floor. And in the end, creating our own urban myths.

This family is in firm control of their own narrative.
One could say that the director was being (willingly) used, giving up her right to dig deep Moselle has claimed she wasn't trying to be a journalist or a psychiatrist, just a filmmaker watching events unfold in return for a sensational story. One could even call it a form of mutual exploitation. And in this sense, Wolfpack has more in common with the Kardashians than they do with traditional documentary subjects. I don't classify their story as a "hoax," as aNew York Poststory reported some wondered at Sundance that would be too simplistic an assessment in this modern age of cinematic hybrids but I also don't equate reality TV with cinemavrit. Truth be told, Wolfpack as real as Up With the Kardashians. Sure, I buy that the Kardashians are a real family, but I don't pretend to think they are allowing me into their real lives. I don't know the Kardashians. I have no idea who the Angulos are. And perhaps, quite possibly, neither do they.
And in this sense we're all complicit in crafting Wolfpack narrative. Nuance and complication don't make headlines, after all. We're all editors, shaping the story, cleaning up the messy details of real life, avoiding contact with what got left on the cutting room floor. And in the end, creating our own urban myths.

Why we should all be very afraid
It is said that in 16th century Prague, a giant made of clay stalked the slums from moonrise till sunbreak. He kept a vigil, this earthen colossus, and guarded the Jews of the ghettos in an era of pogroms. By nightfall in Prague, when the townsfolk kept inside, heeding their curfew, marauders slinked along the streets to heave bricks through windows and scrawl obscenities on lintels.In 1580, a rabbi arose who promised a manmade messiah. Judah Loew, a mystic called the Maharal, whispered spells and commands into a clod of mud and sculpted a monster to crush the vandals and brutes. A clockwork man, a witless machine, the sentinel followed the rabbi's orders to the letter: "Clear the precinct after dusk." The creation meted out justice with alarming aplomb, splitting skulls and snapping femurs. Blood dappled the cobblestone lanes, and soon the oppressors avoided the ghettos altogether. Enjoying a safe season, the Jews roamed their neighborhood freely after dark. Yet the golem had not forgotten his instructions empty the streets and turned on his people for lack of other targets. For seven nights in a row, until the rabbi reversed his magic, the giant ran amok. The golem had become a goliath, plucking heads and limbs from the torsos of innocents.Fairytales are for campfire powwows and bedside reveries. Their bugbears seldom intrude on the political realm. Yet the golem isn't mere nursery chatter. The likeness of this beast, the archetypal war machine, is alive and well in the here and now. While the Czech maintain that he lies sleeping in the attic of a Prague synagogue, they are mistaken. The golem, if you can stomach the comparison, resides in the United States. He resides there and in Russia and South Korea. Today he is built not from clay and spells but toothed gears and pneumatic pistons. He has machine guns for arms and infrared cameras for eyes. Soon his kin may watch the streets of a hundred thousand Pragues, their sidearms smoking incessantly over mountains of brass shells.The United Nations has its own name for our latter day golems: "lethal autonomous robotics." In a four day conference convened on May 13 in Geneva, it described them as the imminent future of conflict, advising an international ban. "Lethal autonomous robotics (LARS) are weapon systems that, once activated, can select and engage targets without further human intervention," the council said in a report released before the session.

In her monograph, Violence, the philosopher Hannah Arendt notes that "in a fully developed bureaucracy, there is nobody left with whom one can argue, to whom one could present grievances, on whom the pressures of power could be exerted." A war waged by an army of androids, outfitted with weapons but not will, would offer the ultimate gift of bureaucracy: total unaccountability. An automaton cannot answer for its actions. After torching a hut of huddled women and children, no robot would hear its Miranda rights and monologize in front of a jury. All violence would become anonymous in this faceless infantry, and the powers would write off all evils as errors. For military leaders, rampant murder would devolve to mere negligence.Even as nafs tout a lessening in the loss of life, even as they say that shattered machines would be better than soldiers brought home in boxes, death on the opposite side would swell to unprecedented proportions.

What the prisoner transported with Freddie Gray reportedly heard
There may be new insight into the arrest of Freddie Gray, as police get a handle on the protests that have shocked Baltimore.
Police plan to release details of their investigation into the circumstances of the 25 year old's arrest to the local prosecutor Friday. Both agencies are conducting separate investigations, and it's not clear when the results will be made copy white enamel jewelry public.
A Washington Post story quotes a prisoner transported in the same van as saying he could hear Gray "banging against the walls" and believed that he "was intentionally trying to injure himself." The other prisoner Knockoff hermes bags prices couldn't see Gray, however, as the back of the van was divided by a partition.
The paper cites an unreleased Baltimore police document in their Thursday report, and commissioner Anthony Batts addressed the allegation to CBS station WJZ last week.
"The second prisoner who Knockoff hermes bags outlet was picked up says that he didn't see any harm done to Freddie at all. What he has said is that he heard Freddie thrashing about," Batts said.
Baltimore City Police and Maryland National Guard have coordinated a formidable police presence in West Baltimore, reports CBS News correspondent Jeff Pegues. There were 18 arrests Wednesday and no officers were hurt. The mandatory curfew meant streets were clear overnight.
The state Knockoff hermes garden bag of emergency in Baltimore brought Congressman Elijah Cummings back to his district and his constituents. He urged them to focus on what he believes is the issue.
"The relationship between the African American community and the police, I believe, is the civil rights issue of this generation right here," Cummings said.
Police in riot gear massed Wednesday on one of the blocks that saw violent rioting and looting on Monday.
More than 2,000 National Guard members are patrolling Baltimore's 80 square miles.
"It's a little heartbreaking because that's my community, but I know I have a duty to do, so I plan on doing my duty," Pfc. Dana Williams said.
Thousands of demonstrators moved from Baltimore's Penn Station to City Hall Wednesday, trying to unite "Charm City," and demanding answers about what happened to Gray.
"We still don't know why Freddie Gray was arrested," Morgan State University's Dr. Ray Winbush said.
On April 12, 25 year old Gray was seemingly unable to walk on his own to the police van. He was found unconscious inside that van when it got to the police station.
