FOOD, OCTOBER 19: “A RECIPE FOR COOKING WITH KIDS”

KEEP IT UP, KIDS I now teach in Texas, but while teaching in Santa Fe, [Cooking with Kids] was such a great experience for kids and I learned how important nutrition is to education. The results were amazing. My students were so well behaved and engaged on days after Lynn [Walters] and her staff led them. It’s such a great program that cultivates our youths’ minds to learn about other cultures and develop a life skill. The program is worthy of grants, accolades and praise for sure.

“MARTINEZ ON TRIAL”

ME TOO, YOU GUYS! The systematic pattern of anyone wanting public information from the Martinez administration staff members and appointees having to file a New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act is regrettable and I thank SFR for filing this lawsuit. The Public Education Department spokespeople are notorious for refusing to answer emails and phone calls as well. I had to file an IPRA request to obtain a list of appointees to the second teacher evaluation panel (the one that has never been publicized because folks on it actually thought for themselves).

I requested the budget for the PED teacher summit held this summer and for the three teacher groups being formed and have not received that information from the PED spokesperson—yet another IPRA request must be filed to obtain this public information.

BLUE CORN

Smoke gets in your eyes An old Santa Fe flame

A

BY ROB E RT B ASLE R

concept we have to get our minds around if we live in these parts—in addition to remembering to say “in these parts” as often as possible—is the notion of the “prescribed burn.”

That’s when experts decide to start a forest fire in order to help prevent forest fires. I hope I didn’t oversimplify that too much. Look at it like this: These trees will never burn down by accident if we burn them down on purpose first.

One thing that bothers me about this is the use of the word “prescribed.”

“Mr. Basler, your house is overrun with chipmunks, so I’m going to go ahead and write you a prescription to burn it down.”

A few days ago, my wife told me first thing in the morning that she had closed every window during the night, because, you know, lots of smoke, and because she wasn’t able to get my lazy ass out of bed to find out what was burning.

Curious, I drove downtown through particulates so thick I was reminded of traveling in some of your more polluted areas of India. Clearly, this wasn’t just a thing happening in my little neighborhood.

I found some news stories about what had caused the problem, and they informed me that officials had halted a pre-

scribed burn “after air quality monitors … indicated unhealthy levels of smoke.”

Unhealthy? You don’t say! You’re telling me that driving through the set of Mad Max: Fury Road might not be good for me? It was pretty much like starting a big, crackling piñon fire in your kiva, and then closing the flue.

One story quoted a press release explaining, “Afternoon and evening winds were less than expected,

and an inversion kept smoke over the city.”

It turned out the Forest Service decided to stop the burns after consulting with the New Mexico Environment Department and the New Mexico Department of Health, two groups maybe they should have consulted before bringing in a team of enthusiastic arsonists with flame throwers.

According to one story (and I am not making this up), “anyone experiencing health effects from smoke exposure should take extra care to stay inside or get to an area with better air quality.” You mean, the level of air quality we had before you guys got started?

But here was the best news nugget of all: “Fire crews … started the burn Wednesday with hand ignitions, and aerial ignitions were launched Thursday.”

“Hey, Carl! Get over here with your Zippo and the lighter fluid! That’s all we’ve got until tomorrow, when they call in the Napalm strike!”

I do understand that forest fires aren’t a laughing matter around here, and that these are people with our best interests at heart.

But when I was a kid we had a saying: “Just wait’ll your mom gets home!” If the nature of whatever you had done was such that your mother could detect it with one of her five senses when she walked through the front door, there might be a US Army recruiting office in your future.

And yet, here we are, in Santa Fe, being told that because of the deliberate actions of others, maybe we shouldn’t breathe the air in our own homes for the time being. Or, perhaps we’d like to visit Colorado for an unscheduled stopover to inhale.

Is somebody’s mom going to have a word with the prescribed burn people about this?

Without Progress Projects de-authorized during special session highlight hurdles for infrastructure proposals

BY STEVE N H SI E H steven@ s fre p o r te r.co m

J

ulie Madrid, clinical and programs director for the Solace Crisis Treatment Center, gestures towards a water stain in her office’s corner ceiling tile. “I always hope that when my client comes in, they don’t see it,” she says. “I don’t want them to feel unsafe here.” A decorative butterfly, felt and wire, hangs below the brownish mark.

Over the past few years, workers have replaced tiles and patched up holes at this full-service facility for survivors of rape, domestic violence and other traumatic events, but the leaks persist. “Every time it rains, I hear drip, drip, drip,” Madrid says.

Two years ago, Solace secured $219,000 of state funds to pay for a new roof, along with upgrades to the building’s computer network, phone lines and climate control system. That money never got released, held up by the state Department of Finance and Administration over a rule that prohibits public entities from donating money to private organizations.

Legislators last month cut the Solace renovations, along with 120 other stalled construction projects across the state, during a special session convened

by Gov. Susana Martinez to address a $600 million budget deficit split between two fiscal years. The bill filled about $90 million of that hole. About $56 million worth of projects will continue, but rather than taking the money from the general fund, the proposals will be financed through a state natural resource tax fund.

Martinez on Friday signed the package, which passed comfortably through the House and Senate.

Lawmakers invoked “shared sacrifice” to defend the cuts as a means to avoid spending cash the state didn’t have, which would have violated New Mexico’s constitution.

“This must be the least bad of the bad decisions we have to make,” said Rep. Bill McCamley (D-Mesilla Park) last month on the House floor, as his colleagues debated the cuts.

The move laid bare the recurring truth that a lot of capital outlay funds don’t get spent. Most of the discontinued projects, known as earmarks, had been stalled for two or three years, adding up to about $15.7 million of unspent taxpayer dollars. Of those, projects worth about $941,135 in Santa Fe County hit the cutting room floor—more than any other jurisdiction except McKinley and Bernalillo.

Many county projects, like the Solace renovations, failed to pass a new review by the Department of Finance and Administration, a state office that looks at the feasibility and legality of capital outlay proposals before funds get released.

About $150,000 allocated for improvements to El Dorado Community School stayed in state coffers because the district failed to get the paperwork processed, according to Sen. Peter Wirth (D-Santa Fe), who had allocated some funds for the renovations from his discretionary share. “That one was particularly frustrating,” Wirth says. “It’s a lesson to us on this end that these projects need to be ready to go. It’s a lesson to all the groups that ask us for funding that they need to be ready to move forward once they get the money.”

Legislators also de-authorized a $100,000 proposal for an affordable housing subdivision for veterans, sponsored by a nonprofit called Heroes Housing Alliance. After determining that the funds would not be enough to build affordable housing, city officials this year refused to sign on as a fiscal agent for the project, which was earmarked in 2014. Attorneys for Santa Fe also expressed concern that the nonprofit could potentially transfer or sell off the property.

Funds intended to improve six acequias in the county, totaling about $287,000, also never made it out of the Department of Finance. About $127,000 of that, intended for an extension of the Acequia Madre into the Agua Fría community, froze because the proposers did not submit an engineering design. Paula Garcia, executive director of the New Mexico Acequia Association, says that’s a common holdup for these types of projects. “It would be helpful if there was support for those acequias to make sure some of that technical support is provided before they ask for the funding,” she tells SFR.

It’s a lesson to us on this end that these projects need to be ready to go.

-Sen. Peter Wirth.

Solace Center’s funds got tangled over the “antidonation” clause, intended to prevent corruption and waste, which prohibits government money from going to private institutions or citizens. Solace attempted to get around this barrier by agreeing to an arrangement in which the nonprofit would hand over the property to the City of Santa Fe until Solace delivered enough services to cover its $219,000 capital outlay allocation, according to director María José Rodríguez Cádiz. But Finance Department officials would only approve an arrangement if Solace paid off the value of the property itself, more than $1 million.

That seemed unreasonable to Rodríguez Cádiz. “If I had signed that, I would have put the next executive director in quite a bind,” she says. (Solace in 2015 reported about $1.7 million in assets, according to a financial disclosure form nonprofits are required to submit every year.)

Rep. Jim Trujillo (D-Santa Fe), who sponsored the Solace project, says that money should never have been held in the first place. He argues the organiza-

tion should have qualified for an exemption of the anti-donation clause that allows money to go to services “for sick and indigent” people. “They do a lot of work for the city and state, like counseling for domestic violence and rape victims, that the state would have to do if they didn’t do it,” Trujillo says.

Think New Mexico, a nonpartisan policy group, has advocated for reform to the system to override the status quo.

“If the public works projects in those bills had been better planned and vetted on the front end,” says its executive director, Fred Nathan, “the money could have been spent much more quickly and efficiently, creating thousands of jobs.”

His group proposed legislation during this year’s regular session aimed at preventing stalled infrastructure projects. The bill, which died in the House Government, Elections and Indian Affairs Committee, would have created a council to help determine the feasibility and readiness of certain projects, which would be consolidated in a state plan.

Downplayed stories illuminate larger patterns in inequality, spying, the environment and corporate influence

T

BY PAUL ROSE NB E RG

hroughout its 40year history, Project Censored has covered a lot of ground that the corporate mainstream media has missed. Begun by Carl Jensen, a sociology professor at California’s Sonoma State University, shortly after Watergate in 1976, it’s become an institution involving dozens of faculty members and institutions working together to come up with an annual list of the top censored stories of the year.

The Watergate burglary in June 1972 “sparked one of the biggest political cover-ups in modern history,” Jensen later recalled. “And the press was an unwitting, if willing participant in the coverup.”

“Watergate taught us two important lessons about the press: First, the news media sometimes do fail to cover some important issues, and second, the news media sometimes indulge in self-censorship,” he said.

On the upside, it led to the creation of Project Censored.

As with the Watergate story, these aren’t censored in the overt heavyhanded manner of an authoritarian dictatorship, but in the often more ef-

fective manner reflecting our society— an oligarchy with highly centralized economic power pretending to be a “free marketplace of ideas.”

It may give people what they think they want in the moment, but it leaves them hungry for more, if not downright malnourished in the long run.

The missing stories concern vital subjects central to the healthy functioning of our democracy. The problem is, we may not even realize what we’re missing, which is precisely why Project Censored is essential.

Another way to think about it is as censorship of what the people as a whole can hear, rather than what any one individual can say. Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights makes it very clear: Freedom of opinion and expression includes the right “to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.”

This year, 221 students and 33 faculty members from 18 college and university campuses across the United States and Canada were involved. A panel of 28 judges comprised of media studies professors, professional journalists and even a former commissioner of the Federal Communications Commission also participated.

News isn’t just created for individuals to consume, but for citizens to debate, discuss and then take action on.

The real Project Censored, in short, includes you, the reader.

Project Censored has always dealt with specific stories, but on anniversaries like this one, the larger patterns those stories fit within are impossible ignore. Economic inequality, global warming, petro-politics, suppression of health science, government spying, corporate influence of government— these are all familiar themes that appear again on this year’s list. But a bit more ought to be said by way of introduction to this year’s top censored story, before starting the list proper.

Jensen began the preface to Project Censored’s 20th anniversary edition with the story of how John F Kennedy killed a detailed New York Times story which would blow the whistle on the planned invasion of Cuba. A shrunken, muted version ran in its place. Afterwards, Kennedy told a Times editor, “If you had printed more about the operation, you could have saved us from a colossal mistake.” This year’s No. 1 censored story is a direct descendent of the story JFK wished he hadn’t managed to kill.

“Today, tallying up the number of countries in which Special Operations forces are present repeats this error,” Vietnam veteran and author Andrew Bacevich told Turse.

Sources: Turse, Nick, “A Secret War in 135 Countries,” TomDispatch, 2015; “The Stealth Expansion of a Secret U.S. Drone Base in Africa,” The Intercept, 2015; “American Special Operations Forces Have a Very Funny Definition of Success,” The Nation, October 26, 2015.

US MILITARY FORCES ARE DEPLOYED IN 70 PERCENT OF WORLD’S NATIONS

The covert exercise of US military power is a recurrent subject of Project Censored stories. This year’s top censored story joins that long tradition.

It deals with the massive expansion in the number of countries where the officially unnamed war on terror is now being waged by US Special Operations Forces—147 of the world’s 195 recognized nations, an 80 percent increase since 2010. This includes a dramatic expansion in Africa.

The majority of the activity is in “training missions,” meaning that this expansion is promoting a coordinated worldwide intensification of conflict, unseen at home, but felt all around the globe. Writing for TomDispatch, The Nation and The Intercept, Nick Turse exposed different aspects of this story and its implications.

Turse’s story for The Intercept focused on the development of a single base, Chabelley Airfield, in the East African nation of Djibouti. It’s an “outof-the-way outpost” transformed into “a key hub for its secret war … in Africa and the Middle East.”

In The Nation, Turse tackled the question of mission success. Project Censored noted that “Turse [had] reported skepticism from a number of experts in response to this question,” pointing out that “impacts are not the same as successes.”

In Vietnam, body counts were mistaken for signs of success.

CRISIS IN EVIDENCEBASED MEDICINE

The role of science in improving human health has been one of humanity’s greatest achievements, but the profitoriented influence of the pharmaceutical industry has created a crisis situation. That research simply cannot be trusted. Burying truth for profit is a recurrent theme for Project Censored.

The top story in 1981 concerned fraudulent testing from a single lab responsible for one-third of the toxicity and cancer testing of chemicals in America.

Another way to think about it is as censorship of what the people as a whole can hear, rather than what any one individual can say.

But this problem is much more profound.

“Something has gone fundamentally wrong,” said Richard Horton, editor of The Lancet, commenting on a UK symposium on the reproducibility and reliability of biomedical research: “Much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness. … The apparent endemicity of bad research behavior is alarming.”

Horton’s conclusion echoed that of Marcia Angell, a former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine, who went public in 2009.

A classic case was Study 329 in 2001, which reported that paroxetine (Paxil in the United States and Seroxat in the United Kingdom) was safe and effective for treating depressed children and adolescents, leading doctors to prescribe Paxil to more than 2 million US children and adolescents by the end of 2002 before being called into question.

The company responsible (now GlaxoSmithKline) agreed to pay $3 billion in 2012, the “largest healthcare fraud settlement in US history,” according to the US Department of Justice.

Nonetheless, the study has not been retracted or corrected, and “none of the authors have been disciplined,” Project Censored points out. This, despite a major reanalysis which “‘starkly’ contradicted the original report’s claims.” The reanalysis was seen as the first major success of a new open data initiative known as Restoring Invisible and Abandoned Trials.

While Project Censored noted one Washington Post story on the reanalysis, there was only passing mention of the open data movement. “Otherwise, the corporate press ignored the reassessment of the paroxetine study,” and beyond that, “Richard Horton’s Lancet editorial received no coverage in the US corporate press.”

RISING CARBON DIOXIDE LEVELS THREATEN TO PERMANENTLY DISRUPT KILL VITAL OCEAN BACTERIA

Global warming is a recurrent Project Censored subject. Systemic changes associated with global warming threaten human welfare and all life on earth through a multitude of different pathways. These remain largely hidden from public view. One potential pathway—directly dependent on carbon, not temperature—is through the catastrophic overproduction of Trichodesmium bacteria, which could devastate the entire marine food chain in some regions. It lives in nutrient-poor parts of the ocean, where it fixes atmospheric nitrogen into ammonium, an essential nutrient for other organisms—from algae to whales.

A five-year study by researchers at the University of Southern California and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution found that subjecting hundreds of generations of the bacteria to predicted CO2 levels in the year 2100 caused them to evolve into “reproductive overdrive,” growing faster and producing 50 percent more nitrogen.

As a result, they could consume significant quantities of scarce nutrients, such as iron and phosphorus, depriving the ability of other organisms to survive. Or the Trichodesmium bacteria could drive themselves into extinction, depriving other organisms of the ammonium they need to survive.

SEARCH ENGINE ALGORITHMS AND HACKED ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES COULD SWING 2016 ELECTION

Social media has played an important role in recent social movements, from the Arab Spring to Black Lives Matter, but technology can potentially undermine democracy as well as empower it.

In particular, search engine algorithms and electronic voting machines provide opportunities for manipulation of voters and votes, which could profoundly affect the 2016 election.

Mark Frary, in Index on Censorship, describes the latest research by Robert Epstein and Ronald E Robertson of the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology on what they call the Search Engine Manipulation Effect, or SEME. Their study of more than 4,500 undecided voters in the United States and India showed that biased search rankings “could shift the voting preferences of undecided voters by 20 percent or more” and “could be masked so that people show no awareness of the manipulation.”

In an earlier article for Politico, Epstein wrote that SEME “turns out to be one of the largest behavioral effects ever discovered. ...[W]e believe SEME is a serious threat to the democratic system of government.”

Because courts have ruled that their source code is proprietary, private companies that own electronic voting machines are essentially immune to transparent public oversight, as Harvey Wasserman and Bob Fitrakis documented.

In 2016, about 80 percent of the US electorate will vote using outdated electronic voting machines that rely on proprietary software from private corporations, according to a September 2015 study by the Brennan Center for Justice at the New York University School of Law. The study identified “increased failures and crashes, which can lead to long lines and lost votes” as the “biggest risk” of outdated voting equipment, while noting that older machines also have “serious security and reliability flaws that are unacceptable today.”

“From a security perspective, old software is riskier, because new methods of attack are constantly being developed, and older software is likely to be vulnerable,” Jeremy Epstein of the National Science Foundation noted.

“Most significantly, the researchers found that even when the bacteria was returned to lower, present-day levels of carbon dioxide, Trichodesmium remained ‘stuck in the fast lane,’” Project Censored noted, a finding that one researcher described as “unprecedented in evolutionary biology.”

On Democracy Now! and elsewhere, Wasserman and Fitrakis have advocated universal, hand-counted paper ballots and automatic voter registration as part of their “Ohio Plan” to restore electoral integrity.

While there has been some corporate media coverage of Epstein and Robertson’s research, the transparency and reliability advantages of returning to paper ballots remain virtually unexplored and undiscussed. (Note: New Mexico uses paper ballots.)

[World Bank] proposals are ‘less about Syrian needs and more about keeping Syrian refugees out of Europe by creating (barely) sustainable conditions within the camps.’

the corporate media—though not nearly enough to generate an appropriate response. What hasn’t been covered is the increasingly well-organized exploitation of refugees, particularly those displaced in Syria.

An AlterNet article by Sarah Lazare—cited by Project Censored—warned of the World Bank’s private enterprise solution to the Syrian displacement crisis.

“Under the guise of humanitarian aid, the World Bank is enticing Western companies to launch ‘new investments’ in Jordan in order to profit from the labor of stranded Syrian refugees,” Lazare wrote. “In a country where migrant workers have faced forced servitude, torture and wage theft, there is reason to be concerned that this capital-intensive ‘solution’ to the mounting crisis of displacement will establish sweatshops that specifically target war refugees for hyper-exploitation.”

A World Bank press release touted “the creation of special economic zones or SEZs,” but Project Censored noted, “Myriam Francois, a journalist and research associate at SOAS, the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London, told Lazare that the development of SEZs in Jordan ‘will change refugee camps from emergency and temporary responses to a crisis, to much more permanent settlements.’”

The SEZ proposals, Francois said, are “less about Syrian needs and more about keeping Syrian refugees out of Europe by creating (barely) sustainable conditions within the camps, which would then make claims to asylum much harder to recognize.’”

Another story, by Glen Ford of Black Agenda Report, described a related agreement between Turkey and the European Union to keep millions of refugees from entering Europe as “a deal between devils,” adding that Turkey has “cashed in on the people it has

helped make homeless.”

In addition to the $3.3 billion in EU money, Project Censored noted: Turkey has also sought admission to the European Union, and, with this, the right for 75 million Turks to enter Europe without visa restrictions as a condition for controlling its refugee population.

Thus, according to Ford, Turkey has engaged in a “vast protections racket trap,” effectively agreeing to protect Europe from further incursions by “the formerly colonized peoples whose labor and lands have fattened Europe and its white settler states for half a millennium. “...Europeans will never accept Turkey into the fold, because it is Muslim and not-quite-white,” Ford concluded.

MORE THAN 1.5 MILLION US FAMILIES LIVE ON $2 PER PERSON PER DAY

Even the working poor receive scant attention, but those living in deep poverty—less than $2 per day—are almost entirely absent.

Kathryn J Edin and H Luke Shaefer, sociologists and authors of the book $2.00 a Day: Living on Almost Nothing in America, state that in 2011 more than 1.5 million US families— including 3 million children—lived in deep poverty at any given time.

Their depiction of what poverty looks like reads “like a Dickens novel,” Marcus Harrison Green wrote in YES! Magazine, while in The Atlantic, economist Jared Bernstein noted that their research highlights the problematic long-term consequences of President Bill Clinton’s 1996 welfare reform initiative, with its “insistence on work without regard to job availability.”

Project Censored notes that Edin and Shaefer proposed three policy changes to address extreme poverty in the United States: “First, policy must start by ‘expanding work opportunities for those at the very bottom of society.’

“Second, policy must address housing instability, which Shaefer described as both a cause and a consequence of extreme poverty. ‘Parents should be able to raise their children in a place of their own.’

“Third, families must be insured against extreme poverty, even when parents are not able to work.”

William Julius Wilson, a leading sociologist in the study of poverty, described their book as “an essential call to action” in a New York Times book review, but this was a rare recognition in the corporate press.

Five years after the Fukushima nuclear power plant was destroyed by an earthquake and tsunami in March 2011, the nuclear disaster continues to unfold with the ongoing release of large quantities of radioactive wastewater into the Pacific Ocean, in which turn affects ocean life through “biological magnification.”

Meanwhile the Japanese government has relaxed radiation limits in support of its efforts to return the refugee population—a move that younger people, prime working-age taxpayers, are resisting.

Project Censored cites a media analysis by sociologist CelineMarie Pascale of American University. Pascale, covering more than 2,100 articles, editorials, and letters to the editor on Fukushima in the Washington Post, the New York Times, Politico, and the Huffington Post between March 11, 2011 and March 11, 2013, focused on two basic questions: Risk for whom? And from what?

She found that just 6 percent of articles reported on risk to the general public, and most of those “significantly discounted those risks.”

She concluded, “The largest and longest lasting nuclear disaster of our time was routinely and consistently reported as being of little consequence to people, food supplies, or environments. … In short, the media coverage was premised on misinformation, the minimization of public health risks, and the exacerbation of uncertainties.”

In contrast, Dahr Jamail’s reporting for Truthout pointed out that the cooling process—still ongoing after five years—has produced “hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of tons” of highly radioactive water, much of which has been released into the Pacific Ocean. Such nuclear disasters

“never end,” Arnold Gundersen, a former nuclear industry senior vice president, told Jamail.

Project Censored also cited Linda Pentz Gunter, writing for The Ecologist about the Japanese government’s ongoing coverup.

“In order to proclaim the Fukushima area ‘safe,’ the government increased exposure limits to 20 times the international norm,” Gunter wrote, in order to force refugees to return home, despite medical or scientific evidence to the contrary.

SYRIA’S WAR SPURRED BY CONTEST FOR GAS DELIVERY TO EUROPE, NOT MUSLIM SECTARIANISM

The Syrian war and its resulting refugee crisis have gained headlines over the past five years, but the origins of the conflict, control of oil and gas, are rarely considered—the politics of which have dominated the region since before World War II. The hidden influence of oil—from climate change to campaign finance and corporate lobbying to foreign policy—has been a recurrent subject of Project Censored stories.

Project Censored cites a single September 2015 story by Mnar Muhawesh for MintPress News, but that story cites others as well, notably an August 2013 story in The Guardian by Nafeez Ahmed.

“The 2011 uprisings, it would seem—triggered by a confluence of domestic energy shortages and climate-induced droughts which led to massive food price hikes—came at an opportune moment that was

quickly exploited,” Ahmed wrote, as part of a broader strategy to undermine governments in the region, as well as manipulating social movements and armed factions for the purpose of maintaining control of oil and gas.

Muhawesh and Ahmed both point, in particular, to President Bashar alAssad’s choice between competing pipeline proposals. He refused to sign a proposed agreement for a pipeline from Qatar’s North Field through Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and on to Turkey in 2009, because it would have hurt his ally, Russia.

“The proposed pipeline would have bypassed Russia to reach European markets currently dominated by Russian gas giant Gazprom,” Project Censored notes. Instead, Assad pursued negotiations—finalized in 2012—for a pipeline through Iraq from Iran’s South Pars Field, which is contiguous with Qatar’s North Field.

Muhawesh cites US cables revealed

by WikiLeaks as evidence that “foreign meddling in Syria began several years before the Syrian revolt erupted.” Ahmed came to the same conclusions by drawing on multiple sources, including a RAND Corporation document, “Unfolding the Future of the Long War,” which discussed long-term policy options (trajectories) dealing with the complex interplay of energy interests and ethno-religious-political manipulations.

There’s a whole deeper level of driving forces not being reported on behind the Syrian war and refugee crisis.

cine,” due to the destructive influence of its financing on the practice of basic science in testing and developing new drugs. But that’s not the only destructive impact of their spending.

Although they spent $51 million in campaign donations in the 2012 presidential election, and nearly $32 million in the 2014 midterms, Mike Ludwig of Truthout reported they spent $7 lobbying for every dollar spent on the midterms.

“The $229 million spent by drug companies and their lobbying groups that year was down from a peak of $273 million in 2009, the year that Congress debated the Affordable Care Act,” Project Censored noted. Legislation influenced involved all the industry’s top concerns, “including policy on patents and trademarks, management of Medicare and Medicaid, and international trade.”

The last item includes pressuring other countries to suppress the manufacture of life-saving generic AIDS drugs in India, to cite just one example.

“Pharmaceutical lobbyists also consistently lobby to prevent Medicare from negotiating drug prices,” Project Censored also noted. Coverage of their spending is scant, and virtually never

CISA: THE INTERNET SURVEILLANCE ACT NO ONE IS DISCUSSING

In July 2015, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell attempted to attach the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act, or CISA, as an amendment

DHS itself warned that the bill would ‘sweep away privacy protections’ while inundating the agency with data of ‘dubious’ value.

to the annual National Defense Authorization Act. However, the Senate blocked this by a vote of 56-40, in part because, unlike an earlier version, it essentially enabled intelligence and law enforcement officials to engage in surveillance without warrants.

Yet, on December 18, 2015, President Barack Obama signed CISA into law as part of a 2,000-page omnibus spending bill, amid media silence— with notable exceptions at Wired and The Guardian. The act authorized the creation of a system for corporate informants to provide customers’ data to the Department of Homeland Security, which, in turn, would share this information with other federal agencies— the National Security Agency, FBI, Internal Revenue Service and others— without privacy-protecting safeguards.

In one sense it followed a familiar— if distressing—pattern, as The Guardian reported. Civil liberties experts had been “dismayed” when Congress used the omnibus spending bill to advance some of the legislation’s “most invasive” components, making a mockery of the democratic process. But this one was different, since censored stories usually do not stifle powerful voices, as Project Censored observed: “[Andy] Greenberg’s Wired article noted that tech firms—including Apple, Twitter, and Reddit—as well as 55 civil liberties groups had opposed the bill, and that, in July 2015, DHS itself warned that the bill would ‘sweep away privacy protections’ while inundating the agency with data of ‘dubious’ value.”

In April 2016, Jason R Edgecombe reported for TechCrunch on the glaring inadequacies of interim guidelines to deal with privacy and civil liberties concerns, while the corporate media silence continued. And in May, Violet Blue wrote for Engadget about candidates’ positions on cyber issues. Only Bernie Sanders and Rand Paul opposed CISA, but it never became the subject of any broader media discussion.

Kevin Barnes likes to dance. And the frontman for indie-pop band of Montreal’s kinetic affinity is extra present in the hip-shaking beats and ethereal melodic progressions on their newest effort, Innocence Reaches. “I was working in a studio in Paris,” says Barnes, “and basically they only had drum machines and synthesizers, so it sort of forced me in that direction and I found it really inspiring and really exciting to get back to that.” The synthetic toolset pushed Barnes to create in a more percussively dominated milieu—perfect for dancing.

The band sprinkles psychedelic rock and ’60s funk into their synthpop, which doesn’t suffer from tedious melodic repetition—a killer of many of their electronica brethren. Barnes coos through postmodern ideas, breaking gender roles and the fluidity of attraction and relationships, and hearkens back to those who could pull off being wonderfully weird and magnetically androgynous (think David Bowie or Prince).

Seeing of Montreal perform live is beyond simple music performance.

Shows are theatrical affairs with skits and costumes, but Barnes says he’s

Even more musicthemed costume ideas

DAVID BOWIE

It kind of depends on what era Bowie you’re going for, but we’d suggest either Goblin King from Labyrinth (you’ll need a serious-ass crotch bulge and perhaps a fake baby), Ziggy Stardust (fashion a ginger mullet from either your own hair or a number of wigs and then get yourself some face paint and an eye patch) or, for extra ease, super-fashionable end-of-life Bowie á la the video for “Lazarus” from his final album, Blackstar (black sweater, black pants, an eerie sense of calm about the infinite nothingness that lies beyond the veil of death OR nightgown and face bandage with buttons sewn over where your eyes would be). Whatever you choose, you’ll be popular and look cool as hell.

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

very year around this time I get pretty excited because I can do my annual music-themed Halloween costume suggestions column. First off, it’s fun to think about and I truly enjoy mulling over the ideas. Secondly, I don’t have to talk to any local musicians or promoters or venue people, and that’s always a huge plus in my book. Anyway, here are a few easy ideas for becoming one of your favorite musicians this year.

Enjoy the oohs and aahs.

You’ll want to start this as soon as possible, but if you already hate washing your hair that’ll be a good head start. Franti’s got the dreads, but you can possibly braid your hair, too, in case you don’t want to commit or are grossed out by dreads. Hone an obnoxious sense of peace and justice that might come from a good place but ultimately comes across like you think you know how the world should work better than anyone. Get a knit beanie to wear even if it’s a thousand degrees at whatever party you attend, some camo cargo shorts and a tank top that says something like “Listen to Bob Marley.” Ditch your shoes and carry a ukulele. I don’t think he’s known for the uke, I just think that would be funny.

Maybe he’s just on my mind because of my recent interview, but you can pull this off by getting a long wig (or already having long hair), dressing like you work on a crew that paints houses and smashing yourself in the face with a brick. WK also has that pizza-shaped guitar, but carrying a slice of pizza with you everywhere you go is not only close enough, it’s good life advice for all of us.

and don’t clean it. 3. Slather on eyeliner and other makeup to hide the haggard factor. 4. Mess up your hair.

Boom. You win Halloween. Sort of.

BEYONCÉ This one’s a little trickier, so pay attention—work out long, blonde tresses that cascade down your back like a goddamn golden waterfall and then somehow wordlessly convey yourself to be the most gorgeous and talented goddess on the fucking planet. Also wear a one-piece gold lamé swimsuit covered in shiny, sparkly sequins. Be confident.

ANYONE FROM GREEN DAY The Bay Area punk trio’s Revolution Radio debuted at #1 on Billboard’s charts this month, and to become Billie Joe Armstrong, Tré Cool or Mike Dirnt takes only a couple easy steps.

1. Get a dirty suit. 2. Wear it constantly

SIA

Get a weird dress, throw your bangs in front of your eyes, slap a gigantic fucking bow on your head, case closed.

TWENTY ONE PILOTS

Easy. Just grab a friend and start sucking at music super hard—and we mean hard—and pretty much anyone cool will know what you’re trying to do. Bonus points if you can get mainstream radio to play your songs often enough to drive people up the wall and curse the day they were born. Extra bonus points if you can somehow be considered the suckiest thing about Suicide Squad, which is really saying something.

THE CALENDAR bed, stroke your cock (even if it’s soft), and think dirty thoughts. Your cock will get hard, I promise, and you’ll get off. It’s how most people masturbated before the internet came and ruined everything, WOES, and it still works.

I love my wife, but I have a lot of resentment, disappointment, and insecurity over our sex life. After four years of marriage, huge angst remains that I have yet to get a handle on. Right now, with kids and our busy lives, she’s content with sex once a week or so, and I need relief pretty much every night to help with my insomnia. What’s more, I really don’t enjoy porn at all, but if we aren’t having intercourse, there’s pretty much no other way for me to get off. Blame it on my fundamentalist evangelical upbringing, but I fear my porn use becoming an addiction. It makes me feel dirty. I would love a solution to this problem that doesn’t involve me jerking off in a dark room by a computer screen after my wife falls asleep every night. All I want to do is feel close to my wife, orgasm, and sleep. I think she does sincerely care and wants to help me, but is just so tired and busy with her career and our kids. And yes, I have talked and fought with her countless times.

In weaker moments, I’ll admit I have also guilted her for her more “active” sexual past (with prior boyfriends) and for her current “neglect,” which I know is unfair and unhelpful. I just don’t know what to do.

-When Orgasms Enable Sleep You’ve been married four years, you have more than one child, you both work—and if you divide household labor like most couples, WOES, your wife is doing more/most of the cooking, cleaning, and child care. But even if you were childless, living in a hotel suite with daily maid service, eating only room service, and throwing your underpants out the window after one wearing, WOES, it would still be unreasonable to expect PIV intercourse every night of the week.

Frankly, WOES, once-a-week PIV is more sex than most young straight dads are getting. And if you’re demanding PIV from your wife as a sleep aid—“ask your doctor if Clambien is right for you”—it’s a miracle you’re getting any sex at all.

And the limited options you cite—it’s either PIV with the wife or masturbation in front of the computer—aren’t doing you any favors.

Consider PIV from your wife’s perspective: Her husband fucks, comes, and falls asleep.

She lies there for a while afterward, tingling, and may have to go to the bathroom once or twice. The PIV that puts her husband to sleep after a long day? It puts her sleep off.

And if she wanted to get it over with quickly— because she was exhausted—there wasn’t much foreplay, which means she probably wasn’t fully lubricated (uncomfortable) and most likely didn’t come (unfair). That’s a recipe for resentment, WOES, and resentment kills desire. (Or maybe you should think of it this way: If your ass got fucked every time you said yes to sex, WOES, you wouldn’t say yes to sex seven nights a week.)

If you expanded your definition of sex, WOES, if your options weren’t PIV or nothing, you might not have to masturbate six nights a week. Because if your definition of sex included oral (his and hers), mutual masturbation, and frottage—and if these weren’t consolation prizes you settled for, but sex you were enthusiastic about—your wife might say yes to sex more often.

Still, you’re never going to get it seven nights a week. So make the most of the PIV you’re getting, broaden your definition of sex and get another night or two of sex in per week, and enjoy porn without guilt the rest of the week. And if you’re concerned about the amount of porn you’re watching, try this trick: Lie on the couch or the floor or the guest

OCTOBER 26-NOVEMBER 1, 2016

When I met my partner of three years, I thought I’d hit the jackpot: a Dom who packs a wallop but knows how to listen and loves group sex (which is kinda my jam). It’s hard to let go of my memories of the early days.

We have had some rough patches, especially since he has had increasing financial trouble/ underemployment, whereas I am back in school and have too many jobs. The biggest issue as I see it is he always makes me explain at length why I am busy—not just what I am doing (e.g., midterms) but whether that is “normal” (yes, every semester). I am tired. I care about my partner a lot and feel very close to him in some ways, but I also see him taking advantage of me financially and demanding endless reassurance on top of this. So my desire is to DTMFA. But when I talk about my feelings in the relationship, he argues with me—about what my feelings are or should rationally be. I am really ground down by this. The prospect of breaking up feels like it will be an ordeal. I feel trapped.

I don’t think I can stay with him, but I also don’t want to have a conversation about leaving.

-Sincerely Troubled Under Constant Kriticism We need someone’s consent before we kiss them, suck them, fuck them, spank them, spoon them, marry them, collar them, etc.

But we do not need someone’s consent to leave them. Breakups are the only aspect of our romantic and/or sexual lives where the other person’s consent is irrelevant. The other person’s pain is relevant, of course, and we should be as compassionate and considerate as possible when ending a relationship. (Unless we’re talking about dumping an abuser, in which case safety and self-care are all that matters.) But we don’t need someone’s consent to dump them.

That means you don’t have to win an argument to break up with your boyfriend, STUCK, nor do you have to convince him your reasons are rational. You don’t even have to discuss your reasons for ending the relationship. You just have to say, “It’s over; we’re done.” It’s a declaration, STUCK, not a conversation.

Thank you so much for all of your advocacy— of both sexual and political persuasions— through the years, Dan. Like MADDER, the mom whose letter you ran in last week’s column, I have used Trump’s past and current behavior to help further discussion about the concepts of consent and body awareness, safety, and respect with my young daughter. There’s just one thing I wanted to add: Parents should not restrict the “Trump Talk” to their daughters. Our sons need to be told that words and actions that objectify, demean, and damage women are not what being a boy or man is about. My son is only 3, so he’s a little young as of yet. But I will definitely have the Trump Talk with both my children.

-Sons Need Trump Talk Too Thanks for writing in, SNTTT, and you’re right—we need to have the Trump Talk with our sons, too. But I would add another reason to your list: While our sons absolutely need to be told not to objectify, demean, and damage women, our sons also need to be told that they, too, have a right to move through this world unmolested.

Parents have sex, too! Or so say the hosts of One Bad Mother on the Lovecast: savagelovecast.com

URGENT CARE & PRIMARY CARE

Soothsayer Kasandra M noticed she had a knack for clairvoyance—or maybe we should say extreme intuition—when she was very young. As she puts it, “I always just knew when things were going to happen.” Of course, you’d be forgiven for not believing without experiencing your own reading, the perfect chance for which happens at a benefit for Girls on the Run, an organization that promotes physical activity and confidence for young women, at Iconik Coffee Roasters this Saturday, Oct. 29 (7:30 pm, $40-$50. 1600 Lena St., 428-0996). Trust us, it’s worth it. (Alex De Vore) When did you know you were psychic?

I don’t like to say psychic, because I think there’s a weird stigma attached and people freak out when they hear that. I call myself an “intuitive;” it’s being really in tune with your inner voice and higher self. I was young. I was always the girl who knew how many jelly beans were in the jar in elementary school or when certain people were going to pass away.

What does a typical reading consist of?

I don’t work with regular tarot cards, I use fortune cards.

They’re symbols on 36 cards and certain combinations mean certain things. I do a general nine-card spread, which is past, present and future, and there’s really nothing dark or scary about it, but I do make people cry occasionally. For the most part they’re happy tears. It’s kind of like I’m having a conversation and information is being downloaded into my head at the same time, if that makes sense.

Do you deal with a lot of skeptics?

Oh, skeptics are my favorite. But I’ve never had a complaint and for the most part they get this feeling of relief or release. I think I’m very relatable; I can put myself in your shoes and get on your level and usually something in my reading resonates with them. People are conditioned to feel fear, but there’s nothing here to be afraid of.

SCUBA’s Outer Local is a crossroads for New Mexico origin stories

BY J O R DA N E D DY @jordaneddyart

COURTESY DAVID RICHARD GALLERY

The Arrivals

T

“

his was a play on the pop cultural references of New Mexico,” says Sandra Wang. “You know, pickup trucks and aliens!” At her feet is a little white box full of soil sourced from a streambed in La Cienega.

There’s a tiny silver truck marooned in the dirt, with green aliens peeking through its windows. Wang and her partner Crockett Bodelson, who create and curate art under the moniker SCUBA, made 360 sculptures from local adobe and clay when they moved to New Mexico from San Francisco in 2011. They called the body of work Why Does It Matter, and their creative process became a method for literally feeling out the landscape.

“For SCUBA, this piece was about getting to know our new home and playing with local materials,” Wang says. “In my case, I was experiencing New Mexico from an outsider’s perspective. Because Crockett’s from here, he got to see it from a renewed perspective.” From Oct. 19 through Nov. 19, SCUBA presents an exhibition of 10 New Mexico artists at David Richard Gallery called Outer Local as part of the space’s Santa Fe Art Project exhibition series. Titled after the extraterrestrial pickup truck at its heart, the show challenged its participants—newcomers and natives alike—to reexamine their home turf. Last Saturday, Oct. 22, the curators convened several of the artists for the first in a series of public discussions of the show.

Albuquerque photographer Jessamyn Lovell steps up first to address the audience. Her images in Outer Local are outtakes from a project called No Trespassing, a body of work that chronicles Lovell’s hunt for her estranged father. “I feel like [Outer Local] offered me permission to be more free in interpreting what place meant to me,” says Lovell. The images in the show reconstruct an emotional and symbolic context that exists apart from strict chronology. The artist, who is originally from Syracuse, New York, sees her interactions with the New Mexico landscape in a similar light.

Local and not-so-local artists explore their relationships with New Mexico at David Richard Gallery.

“We all kind of insert our own narratives,” Lovell says. “When I drive I-25 from Albuquerque to Santa Fe, I have a very different experience than someone who grew up here. I’m always going to be an outsider New Mexican in a way, until my history and my son’s history starts to become more rich with this place. I don’t know if I’ll ever look out and see a roadrunner, and not feel like it’s super exciting and exotic.”

Kristen Roles, who also hails from Albuquerque, is up next. She’s working towards her MFA in photography at the University of New Mexico, where Lovell is a lecturer. “I’m thinking of local materials in terms of their proximity to our bodies,” she explains, gesturing to a series of images printed on temporary tattoo paper fluttering on the wall. The abstracted images on the paper are the warped residue of a past life: Roles had planned to move from Tampa, Florida, to New Mexico last year with her partner, but he tragically died.

Roles boldly discusses the process of exploring the New Mexico landscape, while conducting a simultaneous journey into her past. “Being embedded in this landscape has been an escape in a sense,” she says.

“Even on Central Avenue, which is a mess of cars, I can glimpse the mountains over the top of the Walgreens and it’s this astounding moment.”

SCUBA ushers the crowd into another room, so artists Derek Chan and Parker Jennings can round out the afternoon. Chan is originally from San Francisco, and moved to Roswell from Chicago in 2012 af-

ter completing his MFA at the University of Illinois.

He did an artist residency in Roswell, and developed a profound affection for the little town.

“It’s a very mundane, agricultural town that is fueled by oil, but there’s also this sense of awareness around aliens and the metaphysical and the spiritual,” Chan says. “I feel like I always carry that balance in my work.” After his stint in Roswell, Chan moved to Santa Fe, where he’s been creating handmade books, large-scale paintings and videos that investigate the New Mexico landscape and culture.

Aside from Bodelson, Jennings is the only artist speaking at the event who grew up in Santa Fe. He works as a carpenter at the Santa Fe Opera, and despite his native Santa Fean roots, he’s always felt like an outsider in the art community. “This is the first show that I haven’t had to come and hang my work myself,” he says. “I guess this puts me closer to being in the art world … but focusing on more subversive work has been really important to me.” The plywood wall sculptures he made for Outer Local, with geometric cutouts and spray painted patterns winding across them, are certainly the show’s scrappiest and most experimental work.

OUTER LOCAL ARTIST DISCUSSION 3 pm Saturday Oct. 29. Free.

Broken Trail distillery serves up New Mexico-inspired spirits

BY GWYNETH DOLAND t h e f o r k @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

T

he label for Broken Trail craft distillery’s Holy Ghost vodka is a pale green topographic map. The first time I saw it I wondered: Is this named for Holy Ghost Creek? Some of my besties have a cabin on Holy Ghost Creek, near Terrero, where it pours into the Pecos River, and I’ve spent many a summer evening sipping cocktails and listening to its gentle burbling.

Broken Trail’s co-owner and head distiller, Matt Simonds, says his corn-based vodka is indeed named for the creek, where he likes to go fishing. All of the distillery’s products are named for places in New Mexico where he and his team go hiking, biking and fishing. The Horsethief rum alludes to two different places: a mountain bike trail near the Taos Ski Valley, and a meadow in the Pecos Wilderness.

“A lot of people don’t realize what an amazing place we have,” says Simonds, a native New Mexican. “Everything here, the environment, the people, the culture, the history, I love every part of it.” That’s why he wanted to incorporate a sense of place into the business.

The Holy Ghost vodka is made entirely with New Mexico-grown corn. The Horsethief rum isn’t made with local sugarcane—because duh—but Simonds created a variation called de Pacana that is made by steeping the rum in shelled pecans.

The result is better than you’d think. The pecans add only a faint aftertaste of the nut’s flavor but the steeping serves to mellow and soften the last of the rum’s sharp edges.

The distillery opened in an industrial area of Albuquerque in 2015 (originally it was called Distillery 365, named for a trail in the Sandia Mountains). Last fall, bottles of the rum and vodka started showing up in retail stores, including Susan’s and Liquor Barn here in Santa Fe and Kokoman in Pojoaque. This year the distillery opened a tasting room in the Green Jeans Farmery, a shipping container development not far from the Whole Foods at Carlisle and I-40 (at 3600 Cutler Ave. NE in Albuquerque).

COURTESY OF BROKEN TRAIL

Booze with a Taste of the Place Simonds has a background in chemistry and has long dabbled in home brewing. Years ago he decided to try his hand at home distilling. “I got a little barrel and I put it in my crawl space,” he recalls. “A year later I pulled it out and I got about a shot glass of the best bourbon I’ve ever had.” Evaporation had claimed nearly all of the rest.

But about five years ago, the idea came up again, and he started doing test batches. He makes a bourbon called Tres Pistolas, also with locally-grown corn, but it is still aging in its barrels Nothing says good morning like a big ol’ bloody mary. and won’t be ready until 2017.

Multiple Maniacs Review: Bad Taste Long-lost John Waters film finally sees the light of day by alex de vore alex@sfreporter.com

Given the vast catalog of tasteless sleaze that has sprung from the mind of director John Waters (Polyester, Hairspray, Crybaby), it’s hard to imagine depths to which he hasn’t sunk, but a lovingly re-

stored print of 1970’s Multiple Maniacs from the fine folks at the Criterion Collection might just check off a few boxes heretofore left seemingly empty.

Even mega-fans of the Baltimore filth-master’s body of work probably haven’t seen Waters’ second feature film, as it wasn’t until August of this year that it hit theaters. For many, this is wonderful news—a further glimpse into the early years of a depraved tastemaker (so to speak) and outlier

Mom. Cinema laymen, the easily disturbed or even those who aren’t familiar with Waters’ core style or affinity for freaking people out will have trouble getting past the content, while anyone with high standards for cinematic professionalism will find the disjointed story, poor quality and campy acting to be frustrating. The early Waters films were never about palatable experiences or even being well-made, though, so seasoned vets will find exactly what they’re looking for. In a way, it’s almost like Waters’ reaction to the cultish yet familial workings of the Manson family; a powerful and sexually-charged demagogue using her magnetism and penchant for violence to get what she wants from those with weaker wills.

If nothing else, it’s exciting to see Waters mainstays like Divine in an unfamiliar film, and the next-level appearance from Mink Stole (Lost Highway) is quite intense even by today’s standards, or for Waters himself. Still, it remains an important piece of cinematic history, an eye-opening piece of an American icon’s early work.

SCREENER

of cinema. For others, however, it will prove confusing and borderline sickening, though that’s exactly what Waters wants, so you should probably just go with it.

In Maniacs, the nefarious Lady Divine (played by stalwart Waters collaborator and dear friend Divine, RIP) runs The Cavalcade of Perversions, a sort of freak show with attractions that, for the era, were far more heinous than mere bearded ladies. Of course, it’s Waters’ twisted sense of humor that would find squares moved to nausea by such attractions as hairy armpits, pukeeaters and even queers (gasp!), but the underlying subtext suggests that all of us have our bizarre sexual tastes and hardly anyone can say no to a good oldfashioned tent full of freaks.

Lady Divine uses the show as a way to lure in people she can rob at gunpoint, but after stealing for some time, she’s bored with mere robbery and has begun to develop a lust for blood. This doesn’t sit well with her boyfriend, Mr. David (David Lochary), and a series of misunderstandings, sacrilegious sexual encounters and that trademarked John Waters bad taste come to a head with some of the most shocking and disgusting scenes of his career—and that’s really saying something.

Maniacs is not the film for everyone, even for those who might think they’re John Waters fans after seeing his musical films or even something like Serial

KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES “The laughs come easily, if predictably.”

THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN

“Alas, it’s not even great trash.”

THE ACCOUNTANT

“This Ben Affleck hero has something

THE BEATLES: EIGHT DAYS A WEEK—THE TOURING YEARS

“It provides an in-depth look at those early years of the band.”

THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN

“We honestly expected more.”

KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES Holding up undercover identities was easy for the Joneses in 30 foreign countries. But less than a week in the suburbs in the USA, and they’re blown in a big way—bringing to mind what would happen if the sexy lovers from Mr. and Mrs. Smith moved in next door to the Cleavers.

The laughs come easily, if predictably, as Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover) extends what’s turning into a semi-good year on the heels of Masterminds as he slips into his typecast role as Jeff Gaffney, the goofy husband with the boring and insignificant job in HR. Isla Fisher (Now You See Me) is his suburban housewife, Karen, an interior designer who immediately knows something isn’t right with the new arrivals on their cul-de-sac. They’re just adorable, with great timing and chemistry as a unit.

Also good fits for the roles of Natalie and Tim Jones are Gal Gadot and John Hamm.

(Outstanding ringers for Brangelina. May that terrible portmanteau rest in peace.)

Gadot, of the Fast and Furious franchise and part of the upcoming Justice League endeavors, wears every miniscule dress well and conducts a humorous and sexually charged bit with Fisher, which you no doubt saw in the trailer. Meanwhile, Hamm (Mad Men) has better lines, including a killer scene in a backroom “snake restaurant”

that’s among the best surprises in this movie’s bag of tricks. The whole thing is just a smidge too long, with one too many foreseeable reunions. Some of the dialog is snappy and hilarious while other exchanges feel pointless. The detective scenes smell at times like Austin Powers throwbacks, and the action sequences are well executed enough for the genre, if not out of place amid the schtick that gives the plot a rom-com vibe.

Thank the entertainment gods that no one took this film too seriously.

(Julie Ann Grimm) Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 105 min.

THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN Rachel Watson is a mess. Two years after her husband left her (for the real estate agent!), she’s unemployed, deeply depressed, and drinking vodka out of 32-ounce water bottles. Every day, she rides the commuter train into Manhattan, pretending to have a job. She looks wistfully out the window at the passing houses of Westchester and the life she used to have.

To be clear, Rachel, as played by Emily Blunt, is literally looking at the life she used to have. As it happens, the train route goes right past her old house, where she regularly spies on her ex-husband, Tom (Justin Theroux), and his new wife, Anna (Rebecca Ferguson). Rachel also keeps an eye on another house, a few doors down, where

young newlyweds Megan (Haley Bennett) and Scott (Luke Evans) live a seemingly idyllic life.

One fateful evening, an extremely drunk Rachel decides to disembark at her old stop. What happens next will be the nexus around which the rest of the movie revolves.

The lives of all the principal players intersect, and by the next morning, young newlywed Megan has gone missing.

What happened? Rachel doesn’t know.

She was in an alcoholic blackout and her memories of the evening only surface in shards and splinters.

Based on last summer’s iteration of that perennial pop-culture phenomenon, the must-read beach novel, The Girl on the Train is fundamentally trashy. Alas, it’s not even great trash; It’s OK trash, a story of lurid sex and bloodshed in the upper-class suburbs of New York—a voyeuristic, hard-R spin on a Lifetime Movie of the Week.

The best thing in the movie by far is Blunt’s intensely vulnerable lead performance. She’s onscreen virtually the entire time, often in extreme close-ups that reveal the ravages of Rachel’s despair and severe alcoholism. Blunt is fearless, and she provides a core of emotional authenticity that serves as the film’s center of gravity.

Zach Galifanakis and Isla Fisher do the ho-hum formula movie thing in Keeping Up with the Joneses. employs a nonlinear narrative style, toggling between past and present. Puzzle pieces fall into place as the spiral accelerates and the film’s central mystery is resolved. Taylor employs some suspect visual strategies to evoke Rachel’s alcoholic delirium. The camera stumbles along with her, the focus goes in and out, and stuttering time signatures suggest the weird perceptual glitches of a drunken blackout.

These flourishes are too self-conscious to be effective, but the movie’s real problem lies with the characters. Blunt earns our empathy through the raw force of her performance, but Rachel is a half-drawn figure, and the rest of the characters are barely sketched. They’re like forward-facing cardboard cutouts, arranged along the linear track of the story, carefully placed to serve the murder-mystery plot. (Glenn McDonald) Violet Crown, Regal, R, 112 min.

THE ACCOUNTANT Suspense and problem-solving mixed with a dash of hopeless romance and a pinch of dysfunctional family history are the staples that sustain The Accountant, yet it’s the strength of the main character that makes us grade this cinematic achievement with approval. Far from sad Batman or cocky Daredevil, this Ben Affleck hero has something that’s more real: a spot on the autism spectrum. As Christian Wolff, we see Handsome Ben in another light, and through him, we get a brighter spot on men and women diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome. Nothing like Rainman’s Raymond or Jerry Espenson from TV’s Boston Legal, our heretofore examples in entertainment, the Wolff character is complex and worthy of awe. He does not count toothpicks on the ground, but is a master of ledger books who gets recruited by mobsters, cartel kingpins and corporate overlords. The flashbacks to his childhood reveal both a well-meaning and sort of sadistic dad and a groundbreaking (perhaps fictionally effective) treatment approach that ostensibly helped him figure out how to overcome the condition’s characteristic symptoms such as difficulty or inability to express emotions or read social cues from others; repetitive, obsessive compulsion and a need for explicit order. While Affleck can typically rely on turning on the charm, here he’s got to suppress the dimpled, sly grin for an even thinner smile that he hardly ever gets to break out. The flat affect took some work, and it makes for some laugh-worthy moments among otherwise serious scenes. Sure, Affleck has to shoot a couple dudes in the head, but that’s just par for the action genre course. Rounding

out the cast in her seemingly endless stream of supporting roles is Anna Kendrick (Pitch Perfect), who this time plays another accountant who breaks through to her fellow math geek just in time to get sucked into an unfolding drama.

An intense performance by Cynthia AddaiRobinson (Star Trek Into Darkness), a Treasury agent tasked with uncovering Wolff’s identity, nonetheless is essential for the plot tension.

Wait and see if you can figure it out, too. (JAG) Violet Crown, Regal, R, 128 min.

THE BEATLES: EIGHT DAYS A WEEK - THE TOURING YEARS Practically everyone is familiar with the story of The Beatles and their rise from the basement venues of Liverpool and Hamburg to unprecedented crowds of screaming fans. For those who weren’t there, however, what is left is a mere idea of what Beatle-Mania was truly like and an intellectual understanding of the insanity sans experience. Director Ron Howard (In the Heart of the Sea) provides an in-depth look into those early years of the band from 1963 to 1966, as well as their impact on the globe in The Beatles: Eight Days a Week-The Touring Years.

Through found footage, hundreds of photographs, television/radio coverage and decades of sound bites and interviews, Howard weaves together one of the most intimate portraits of the Fab Four’s younger days that we’ve ever seen, and it doles out the feels in both jubilant and heartbreaking fashion.

It’s a story that outwardly showcases society’s sick obsession with fame or being famous, but that also examines the psychological toll taken on Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr in a riveting way. Certainly none of them were opposed to their fame at first, but as the years rolled by and the music creation began to play a secondary role to rabid curiosity and borderline psychotic fandom, we begin to understand why The Beatles eventually became studio hermits and ditched the live shows. Much of the real substance—or at least the consequence of fame—is saved for the final half hour, which is unfortunate despite the fun of watching four close friends take on the world. By the time we get to the famous Shea Stadium concert of ’66 (that’s the one that basically made ‘em quit), we can see exactly why they were burnt out, but Eight Days a Week doesn’t spend quite enough time focused on the actual impact their hectic existence had on their personal lives. It’s excellent to see how much they looked out for one another, and the soundtrack is obviously crammed with Beatles gold, but this one might not have major appeal

I am literally on a train...

meh Emily Blunt is all like, “Man, I miss my old life, you guys!” to those who aren’t Beatle-maniacs or already know the tale. (Alex De Vore) CCA, 137 min., NR

THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN Hold onto your hats, because here comes another remake—this time in the form of legendary Western The Magnificent Seven (which was itself a retelling of Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai). In this new iteration, the blackhearted Bartholomew Bogue (a cartoonishly evil Peter Sarsgaard) is hell-bent on taking over the small valley town of Rose Creek, and the people who live there are pretty sad about it. Cue social unrest exploding into street violence and a whole mess of murders.

Observing her husband gunned down in broad daylight doesn’t sit too well with Emma Cullen (Haley Bennett), so she hires a duly licensed warrant officer named Chisolm (Denzel Washington) to take Bogue down.

Chisolm takes on the job, natch, and it seems like maybe he has his own mysterious reasons for pursuing Bogue—but he can’t do it alone. This is where the six other guys come into play, though their motivations are flimsy at best. Faraday (the always likeable Chris Pratt), for example, owes Chisolm for getting his

horse out of hock, and Goodnight Robicheaux (a surprisingly decent Ethan Hawke) joins because, uh … well, he just does. Ditto for his stereotypical Asian pal Billy Rocks (Bynughun Lee), the tracker Jack Horne (Vincent D’Onofrio), a Mexican outlaw named Vasquez (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) and a loner Comanche warrior named Red Harvest (whom they meet completely by chance and who joins the posse because he seemingly didn’t have anything else going on—played by Martin Sensmeier).

It’s fun enough to watch the assemblage of the group, and there is definite chemistry between Washington and Pratt, but this must be about the most predictable movie of all time. And sure, it’s a remake, but we honestly expected a more sophisticated retelling from such an accomplished writer (True Detective mastermind Nic Pizzolatto). Everything plays out exactly how you’d expect and the overused filmic devices just keep on a-coming. It sure is entertaining, though, and one does wonder how on earth a two-hour film that’s basically just dudes getting shot in the face didn’t pick up the R rating.

Regardless, The Magnificent Seven is fine. Just fine. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 133 min.

DAMON

DAMON and DAMARIS were originally found as part of an ongoing Felines & Friends Trap, Neuter & Release (TNR) project on Highway 14 near Santa Fe. Mama and kittens were fending for themselves and struggling to survive on their own. We were able to rescue her and her kittens, and all were soon found to be quite tame and sweet, and ready for a home to call their own. TEMPERAMENT: DAMARIS and DAMON are a bit shy at first but warm up very quickly once they learn to trust a person. They should be adopted to a home together, or into a home with another kitten or active young cat to play with. DAMON is a handsome shorthair brown tabby. DAMARIS is a beautiful girl with a short black coat. AGE: born approx. 7/14/16.
