  Reminiscent of the work of Nobel Prize winner Svetlana Alexievich, an astonishing collection of intimate wartime testimonies and poetic fragments from a cross-section of Syrians whose lives have been transformed by revolution, war, and flight. 
  Against the backdrop of the wave of demonstrations known as the Arab Spring, in 2011 hundreds of thousands of Syrians took to the streets demanding freedom, democracy and human rights. The government’s ferocious response, and the refusal of the demonstrators to back down, sparked a brutal civil war that over the past five years has escalated into the worst humanitarian catastrophe of our times.  
  Yet despite all the reporting, the video, and the wrenching photography, the stories of ordinary Syrians remain unheard, while the stories told about them have been distorted by broad brush dread and political expediency. This fierce and poignant collection changes that. Based on interviews with hundreds of displaced Syrians conducted over four years across the Middle East and Europe, We Crossed a Bridge and It Trembled is a breathtaking mosaic of first-hand testimonials from the frontlines. Some of the testimonies are several pages long, eloquent narratives that could stand alone as short stories; others are only a few sentences, poetic and aphoristic. Together, they cohere into an unforgettable chronicle that is not only a testament to the power of storytelling but to the strength of those who face darkness with hope, courage, and moral conviction.

  After a couple of years, I’ve finally finished this book. It contains a sixth and concluding part of the story. To think I only intended to write a single part, mainly because I was big on writing short stories back then. Anyway, I do hope you enjoy this sci-fi story as much as I enjoyed writing it. 
   
  This book is intended for adults only. All characters depicted are 18 or older.

  The Ashtray - (Or the Man Who...

  Errol Morris

  In 1972, philosopher of science Thomas Kuhn threw an ashtray at Errol Morris. This book is the result. At the time, Morris was a graduate student. Now we know him as one of the most celebrated and restlessly probing filmmakers of our time, the creator of such classics of documentary investigation as The Thin Blue Line. Kuhn was—and, posthumously, remains—a star in his field and author of The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, a landmark book that introduced the concept of "paradigm shifts" to the larger culture. And Morris thought the idea was bunk. 
   
   
   
  The Ashtray tells why—and in doing so, it makes a powerful case for Morris's way of viewing the world, and the centrality to that view of a fundamental conception of the necessity of truth. "For me," Morris writes, "truth is about the relationship between language and the world: a correspondence idea of truth." He has no patience for philosophical systems that aim for internal coherence and disdain the world itself. Morris wants to establish as clearly as possible what we know and can say about the world, reality, history, our actions, and interactions. It's the fundamental desire that animates his filmmaking. Truth may be slippery, but that doesn't mean we have to grease its path of escape through philosophical evasions. Rather, Morris argues, it is our duty to do everything we can to establish and support it.

  NEW KALISHNIKOVS THE - AK-47 -...

  THE NEW KALISHNIKOVS :: AK-47 - aka Drones 
  This poem is about the new invention in war, of small arms arsenals - The Drone. Coming on the heels of the 
  former mass produced and used small arm the - Kalashnikov rifle. 
  The similarities of the AK and Drones, for widespread use are their cheapness to build relative to their 
  use - cost benefit. Their individual strike and their reliability, and their 
  effectiveness. 
  In all its guises, it represents a new era in remote 'close contact'. 
  The Drone itself being sent from a remote location and controlled at a remote location, 
  but the target being an individual, small group or military vehicle like the Tank. 
  Drones are fast becoming the choice of weapon in the modern age for battlefield contact. 
  * Absolutely NO A.I. has been used in the creation of this Poem.
