In January 2022, I began a concerted effort to get my articles published outside of cineSOURCE. Here's scorecard of the situation:
Sent Out May 2023
Proposal for two articles about Jews of Ukraine and Jews and Money lending
Sent Out in January 2023
"Meet the Kids of Maidan: My Journey into Ukraine’s Democratic Revolution" was published by Redaction Report and Reader Supported News
This article documents my trip to Ukraine (August 24-October 9, 2022), with a focus on what young intellectuals think, telling the story of what happened during the Maidan Revolution of 2014, and the history of Ukraine’s Jews and neo-Nazis. It concludes with my encounter with Lviv's vibrant youth scene and being in an air raid—inspiring both hope and fears of nuclear war. (16,800 words, completed 1/15/23).
Send Out in January 2022
Letter from Oakland: A Progressive City in Crisis
"My Father’s Spanish Civil War" 2,800 & 1,200 words, 3/4/23. Using quotes from my father’s letters, I explore his difficult experience fighting for Republican Spain in 1937 with a shorter survey of his World War Two experience, notably flying in B-24 bombers, and a concluding paragraph on Ukraine.
"The Benefits of Commemoration" 3,600 words, 8/28/22. While travelling to Poland to put my mother’s ashes on her family’s mass grave, I encountered a moving three-day event of Poles honoring and remembering the Jews of their town and their destruction.
"How to Fight the Conspiracy Theory Plague" 2,000 & 1,000 words, 8/15/22. A summary of how conspiracy theories have infected America’s right wing and how to oppose it, focusing on the efforts of Adam Kinzinger.
"Conspiracy Mirroring: A Schoolyard Psy-Op Goes High Tech" 1,850 & 900 words, 7/8/22. Unique insight into the common conspiracy theorist trick: accusing their opponents of committing the same crimes they are perpetrating, and its evidence from fake news to false flags.
"Ukraine Fights for Freedom in Song, Film and Television" 2,300 words, 6/7/22. A survey of Ukrainian culture focusing on the winners of the 2022 Eurovision Song contest, Kalush Orchestra, Zelensky’s television show, “Servant of the People”, and an award-winning film, “Klondike", about a pregnant woman running a farm in the middle of the Donbas war.
"Ukraine’s Complex, Tragic History” 4,100 words, 5/10/22. A brief, enlightened review of Ukrainian history, focusing on the little-known killing of as many to 20 million Ukrainians from 1914 to 1945, and culminating with success of the Maidan Revolution, Zelensky’s election and the Russian invasion.
"Why Trump and QAnon Are So Hard to Stop: Conspiracy Theories and LARPs" 4,400 & 2000 words, 1/6/22. An expose of Trump’s extensive conspiracism, from spouting conspiracy theories to training with “the most evil man in New York,” Roy Cohn, and the origins of QAnon as a live-action roll playing game.
"Letter from Oakland: A Progressive City in Crisis" 11,300 words, 12/20/21. The author starts by examining the six murders that transpired around his building in 2020, then his 30 years in Oakland, Oakland’s history, its many police scandals, the Black Lives Matter movement and more.
