i’m sure i could go on all day about folklore and different references to the wild hunt, so let’s get back to the witcher saga’s wild hunt. early on in the time of contempt it’s mentioned that the wild hunt has been seen, and then we get to see them for ourselves as ciri flees through a storm filled with specters from her past–and the specters of the wild hunt .

now, in folklore, the “ wild hunt ” is basically a group of spectral huntsmen galloping through the sky. it’s considered a sign of bad luck. the song “ghost riders in the sky” is a reference to the wild hunt. the great hunt and the heroes of the horn in the wheel of time series may also be a reference, especially since the hunters in the wild hunt are often said to be gods or heroes, such as woden or king arthur. of course, sometimes the wild hunt is depicted as evil, too .

that little tease is the wild hunt’s only real presence in the time of contempt, but that’s a good thing. if i’d read the book when it first came out, instead of after learning about the third game, i wouldn’t have realized the wild hunt’s significance. it serves as a tiny hint of stranger things on the horizon, and i think it works very well .

after the attack on pearl harbor on december 7, 1941, the war department determined that two domestic military intelligence centers would be needed and selected fort hunt as the center on the east coast. on may 15, 1942, the department of interior issued a special use permit to the war department for the duration of the war plus one year for the establishment of the center. the site became known only as “p. o. box 1142, ” the center’s mailing address in alexandria, virginia. at its height, p. o. box 1142 had 87 temporary and permanent structures .

during world war ii, fort hunt was the location of a top - secret military intelligence installation (p. o. box 1142), where high value german captives were interrogated, and means were developed for the escape of captured u. s. servicemen. after the war, some german scientists who chose to come to the u. s. rather than go to the soviet union were debriefed at fort hunt. thereafter, almost all the buildings were leveled and the servicemen who worked there sworn to secrecy. as a result, no one knew the importance of what had occurred there until the 1990s, when the information was declassified. even now, information is only slowly coming to light .

the servicemen stationed at p. o. box 1142 were sworn to secrecy never to divulge their role in world war ii. after fort hunt was declared surplus in november 1946, the army corps of engineers removed dozens of temporary wartime buildings. the property was returned to the nps in january 1948, with only a handful of buildings remaining. the nps converted fort hunt into a park unit within the george washington memorial parkway. based upon intensive public use of the park, the nps decided in the 1960s to build a main picnic pavilion with 8, 000 square feet of usable space (picnic pavilion a) on the site of the demolished post hospital, where the e & e program had been based. in 1980, fort hunt park was added to the national register of historic places .

as in every other facet of american life, the civil war proved to be a turning point in the history of journalism. as relayed by j. cutler andrew’s the north reports the civil war, before the war, newspapers were “small scale enterprises. ” before 1861, there was little urgency to news reporting. journalists regarded the telegraph as a cumbersome and expensive way to relay news. the wires were hard to access and unreliable. working as a journalist was dull, poor - paying work .
a weird korean war story that is interesting mostly because it features robert redford (in his film debut) acting with his future favorite director sydney pollack. pollack plays the stereotypical, cigar - chewing, 20 - year veteran army sergeant. redford is the innocent private struggling with the harsh absurdity of war - - and with a bat - shit crazy john saxon who creeps out of camp every night to slaughter the enemy. while some might consider this bleak tale ahead of its time, i feel it is too far out there to be meaningfully gripping. american film would later master depicting the post - wwii anti - war sentiment after the insane experience of the vietnam war .
ccc camps were set up around the country, including the one established at fort hunt on october 17, 1933, which was designated np - 6. the ccc was a jobs program authorized under the federal unemployment relief act of 1933 to address joblessness in the great depression. after germany invaded poland in 1939, np - 6 enrollees increasingly performed national defense work. along with other ccc camps, np - 6 was terminated in march 1942, as fort hunt was made ready for a new and even more significant chapter .

the civil war isn’t just something in america’s past. this past winter, marchers have filled the streets of the country’s cities, calling for justice on behalf of those unarmed, young black men shot by police. in the us, white people have 13 times the net worth of black people, a gap that has vastly increased since the late 1980s. ash’s gender, though it’s the hook of this novel, isn’t really the point of the tale. hunt demonstrates that this was – and is – everyone’s war. yet when the war is done, ash reads what historians have written and finds that she has been erased. “in these stories women are saints and angels and men are courageous noble folk and everything they do gets done nice and quick and nothing smells like blood. ” but it does smell like blood – still .
9 scripts from a nation at war (2007), a 10 - channel video installation recently acquired by moma, marks the first work for which artists andrea geyer, sharon hayes, ashley hunt, katya sander, and david thorne have collaborated. the work responds to knowledge production and communication in the context of the iraq war since the initial invasion by u. s. military forces in march 2003. the 10 videos comprising the large - scale, spatial installation cast inquiry into the position of the individual amidst roles constructed by war. each video stages the speaking of a script from the following perspectives: citizen, blogger, correspondent, veteran, student, actor, interviewer, lawyer, detainee, and source. the scripts are enacted by both actors and non - actors, some speaking their own words, some reciting the words of others. displayed as projections and seated viewing stations in a circuitous, non - narrative structure, the performative videos create a charged environment questioning the implications of war on individual and collective subjectivity .
a similar case was kenneth pollack, the influential and heavily cited war advocate at the brookings institution. before the war, pollack had absolutely no doubt saddam hussein was hiding weapons. “does he have the ability to attack us here in the united states? ” oprah winfrey asked him on her talkshow (10 / 9 / 02). “he certainly does, ” pollack explained .

war hunt is an absorbing comparison of the effects of war on two individuals. one responded to the emotional impact of killing by embracing it. he becomes an isolated, cold and silent killing machine who creeps up at night and kills with a knife, then dances around the bodies. his only emotinal connection is with a young house boy. his influene on that child is chilling. the second is embodied in the introdcution of robert redford to the screen. the war seen through his eyes is tragic and wasteful. his bravery in confronting the evil influence of the first soldier represents a nobility in a man that is in sharp contrast to the dehumanizing effects of the war. some would argue that the film effects, representing the state of the art in 1961 give a dated feel that is distracting. however this lends a grittiness and documentary feel that enhances the message. the popcorn will be forgotton. save if for a second feature of a much lighter or comic vein, as this heavy film is better digested in pieces over time than brooded over as the only thought late in the evening .

so, first of all, some history. much of hastings' s case is an update of the scholar fritz fischer' s 1961 work, germany' s aims in the first world war, which fully laid the blame for the war on the german lust for european and colonial power. few on the left would wish to defend kaiser wilhelm ii against such charges of militarism .

at points, painter even influenced the course of the war effort. in september 1862, following the battle of chantilly in northern virginia, painter acquired new information about the course of lee’s army. confidently, painter reported to the inquirer and the war department that the rebel army was heading north into maryland, not towards washington as other papers reported. in the end, painter’s controversial report accurately foretold lee’s crossing into maryland for what would ultimately become the bloody battle of antietam .
i' m surprised this movie managed to get made, given the psychological - tolls - of - war plot which can easily be interpreted as anti - war... though i guess endore can be seen as just a' bad egg' but i think the close up shots and the monologues make him sympathetic. beautifully shot (or is that just young robert redford? * rimshot *), great close ups. interesting little film that holds up pretty damn well .

, in which the authors supply evidence of at least 250 women who took part in the fighting. but one of the strengths of this compelling novel – the first of hunt’s to be published in the uk, though he is well established in his native us – is its blend of realism with a powerful sense of the folklore around women who defy the expectations of the societies in which they find themselves .

in the evening after the fighting in the second battle of trenton, general washington held an important council of war at the alexander douglass house. (at that time the house stood on what is now south broad street in trenton .) the house had served as the quarters of general arthur st. clair during the battle. after a day of fighting, the british and american troops were on opposite sides of the assunpink creek. washington called a council of war here to consider a plan of action for the following day. the officers in attendance, including generals arthur st. clair, nathanael greene, james sullivan, hugh mercer, and henry knox, discussed the difficult situation they were in. to continue the battle the next morning would likely lead to a british victory; to retreat to their position down river be difficult. revolutionary war officer james wilkinson later wrote of this council in his memoirs: [ 25 ]
even before the battles of trenton, this quaker meeting house had been touched by the war. at some time in the first half of 1776, american troops stayed at the meeting house. during the first half of 1776, the meeting house was occupied by american troops en route from pennsylvania to amboy and woodbridge. this apparently caused concern to quakers who, because of their pacifistic beliefs, were opposed to any involvement in the war.

the offer of a reward has led to criticism. the german - israeli historian michael wolffsohn calls it a bounty and says the action is tasteless and damaging, since it' s more likely to lead to sympathy for the elderly war criminals. the former professor of politics joachim perels, whose father was executed by the nazis and who has been working on issues concerning the nazi period for years, says the simon wiesenthal center has done much good in hunting down war criminals and in supporting the authorities with its research, but he says there' s already a functioning prosecuting authority in ludwigsburg with committed prosecutors who are currently pursuing cases against 50 former concentration camp guards .
even more secret than the strategic interrogation program was fort hunt’s escape and evasion (e & e) program (mis _ x). even the fort’s commandant was unaware of this mission to prepare u. s. servicemen to evade capture by the enemy and, if captured, to escape. this was particularly crucial for the army air force. the eighth army air force flew daylight bombing raids over nazi - controlled europe and germany itself, a hazardous undertaking in which numerous planes were shot down and survivors captured .
with the onset of the war, people wanted their news as instantaneously as possible. correspondents followed armies with voracious competitiveness and newspaper sales increased exponentially. between 1859 and 1863, the circulation of painter’s own inquirer skyrocketed from 7, 000 to 70, 000. as summed up by andrew, people wanted an “uninterrupted flow of news. ”
the british had already discovered the need for such a program, having started such bombing before america entered the war. the p. o. box 1142 program was modeled on the british one and began operations in february 1943. the nerve center of this program was located in the renovated old post hospital, the site of the current picnic pavilion a .
later in the conflict, painter formed an alliance that gave him a great advantage over other reporters. as a close friend of secretary of war edwin stanton, painter had access not only to restricted information, but also stanton’s own telegraph line and cipher. such an alliance proved incredibly beneficial in an age when censors scrutinized telegraph correspondence to eliminate objectionable material .
recruits head to the front lines towards the close of the korean war. the interaction between two of the soldiers... an idealistic newcomer and a psychotic who goes on one - man patrols slitting enemy throats under cover of night... and the orphan boy who comes between them is examined. the cease - fire brings the three to a final resolution .
that was above all because of the continuity in the justice system .
in the 50s and 60s, three quarters of the judges and prosecutors had been active in the third reich in people' s courts, special courts or in normal courts ,
says perels. that meant that, even decades after the war, there were
serious miscarriages of justice .
the plot threads the previous book introduced are expanded upon, and it still sets the stage for future events, but its central plot feels more focused. while the time of contempt works toward the overarching saga with hints of prophecy and the wild hunt (we’ll get back to that in a minute), it concentrates on the political machinations and conflicts that are immediate threats, such as the growing power of the sinister empire nilfgaard. it also feels much more balanced between its protagonists. while ciri remains at the core, geralt has a strong role in the story as well .
none of which is to belittle the significance of the first world war – its heroism, military engagements or social and cultural consequences. indeed, the events of 1914 - 18 proved one of the prime motors of social change in modern british history. the growing impact of the state on production, employment and welfare soon came to affect most aspects of the lives of uk citizens .
the ghastly cavalcade turns and hurtles straight at her. the hooves of the spectral horses stir up the glow of the will ‘o the wisps suspended above the swamps. at the head of the cavalcade gallops the king of the wild hunt. a rusty helmet sways above his skull - like face, its gaping eye sockets burning with a livid flame. a ragged cloak flutters. a necklace, empty as an old peapod, rattles against the rusty cuirass, a necklace which, it is said, once contained precious stones, which fell out during the frenzied chase across teh heavens. and became stars…
during the war, the germans captured 95, 532 u. s. servicemen. of those 737 escaped. it is not known how many managed to evade capture due to the e & e program. while the number of escapees was not large, the e & e program contributed to the morale of u. s. airmen sent on dangerous missions over enemy territory and of those captured .
whether you agree or disagree, given the deaths of 15 million people during the war, attempting to position 1918 as a simplistic, nationalistic triumph seems equally foolhardy, not least because the very same tensions re - emerged to such deadly effect in 1939. in the words of professor richard j evans :
propagating inaccurate myths [ … ] is no way to create a solid national identity .
the victory at the first battle of trenton turned around the face of the war. after months of defeat and retreat for the american army, this victory changed the morale of both the army and the country. it was followed up over the next ten days by additional victories at the second battle of trenton (see entry below on this page) and the battle of princeton.

recruits head to the front lines towards the close of the korean war. the interaction between two of the soldiers... an idealistic newcomer and a psychotic who goes on one - man patrols slitting enemy throats under cover of night... and the orphan boy who comes between them is examined. the cease - fire brings the three to a final resolution. written by martin h. booda
the intelligence gleaned through this program was invaluable to the allied war effort. for example, german rockets, including the v - 1 and v - 2 rockets used to attack england, were made at peenemunde. the interrogation team learned that fact, and soon thereafter peenemunde became a target of intensive allied bombing. other important information was gained about enemy military operations, weapons technology and other key subjects .
miller’s most noted contribution to the postwar media weapons hunt was a widely criticized article (4 / 21 / 03) about an iraqi scientist in u. s. custody who led soldiers to a batch of buried chemicals that he claimed had been part of an illegal weapons program. (he also testified that materials had been smuggled into syria and that the iraqi government was liaising with al qaeda .) despite having been written under a bizarre set of military - imposed ground rules–barring miller from talking to the scientist, visiting his home or naming the chemicals in question, and establishing a three - day embargo on the article’s publication–the
what is more, the historian christopher clark has suggested that serbia deserves significantly more blame for the spark of june 1914, while us scholar sean mcmeekin has even argued that russian attempts to break up the ottoman empire played an incendiary role in the fallout from sarajevo. in clark' s judgment, other nations were just as imperialistic as the germans and any attempt at a first world war blame game is futile .
following the war, painter continued as a correspondent for several other prominent newspapers. he spent many years reporting from washington, and frequented the capitol reporting on congressional matters. in fact, dr. ritchie dedicates an entire chapter in his work press gallery: congress and the washington correspondents to painter’s work in d. c. dr. ritchie conducted research at the chester county historical society for portions of the chapter .
there was always a fear that the timing of the great war anniversary, alongside the may 2014 european parliament election and the rise of ukip could undermine a dignified response to the events of 1914 - 18. yet few imagined the conservatives would be this crass. the reality is clear: the government is using what should be a moment for national reflection and respectful debate to rewrite the historical record and sow political division .
may, 1953. us army private roy loomis is just starting his first combat assignment on the front line in korea. although scared, he is not cowardly but rather overwhelmed by everything that he experiences. the last man loomis meets among the rank and file within his squad is private raymond endore. on his own initiative, endore heads off every night on unofficially sanctioned reconnaissance missions, which squad leader, captain wallace pratt, finds invaluable. along the way, endore is not averse to killing enemy soldiers by stabbing, which he does with seeming ease. endore seems to be fighting his own war beyond what he is required to do as an army private. also traveling with the squad is a young korean boy named charlie, orphaned by the war. loomis, who tries to befriend charlie, learns that he is unofficially endore' s ward, and loomis is better off not crossing endore in any manner, especially with regard to charlie. charlie does end up becoming a tipping point between the two men, as loomis believes endore is teaching charlie to be a killing machine in his own mold, and has made promises to him about their future together which endore cannot possibly keep. loomis' beliefs about endore and charlie become all the more important with the official end of the war .
by the time the war against iraq began, much of the media had been conditioned to believe, almost as an article of faith, that saddam hussein’s iraq was bulging with chemical and biological weapons, despite years of united nations inspections. reporters dispensed with the formality of applying modifiers like “alleged” or “suspected” to iraq’s supposed unconventional weapon stocks. instead, they asked “what precise threat iraq and its weapons of mass destruction pose to america” (
the two met briefly on the campus of asbury hospital one summer weeks before smith was sent to serve in the korean war. though their introduction was brief, smith left a lasting impression on koesters, so she agreed to write to him while he was away. he would send pictures and letters to her for roughly four months, until the correspondence suddenly stopped — leading koesters to assume the worst, but hope for the best .
a very low - key korean war film that centres on the story of a company of soldiers. the long stretches of silence, or at least lack of dialogue, add to the muted atmosphere. redford' s film debut is effective and understated, certainly pointing toward his lengthy and successful acting career. saxon plays a nut - job who sneaks out on solo night missions, but his skills keep him in good stead with the brass .
and everywhere is the queer horror of the cost of that war. “here and there you met a body part had broken off acquaintance with its owner. a glove had gone with a hand and a boot with a foot... there were dead men sprinkled all around. you would have thought to look at them that they had just got winded and decided to punk down. have a smoke. think it through a spell. ”
having suffered a series of public humiliations from the conspicuous absence of unconventional weapons, the administration made it known that it was pinning its hopes on two trailers found in northern iraq, which they termed mobile biological weapons labs. on may 12, nbc news correspondent jim avila, reporting from baghdad, declared that the labs “may be the most significant wmd findings of the war. ” joining him was hawkish former u. n. nuclear inspector david kay (now an “
meanwhile, union supporters celebrated a false bull run victory that washington press had erroneously reported. when painter’s article announced the devastating news of northern defeat, a mob formed outside of the inquirer offices until news was confirmed. as dr. ritchie explains, “when union troops lost that battle, the war department censored telegraph reports from washington. ” by taking the train directly to philadelphia, painter bypassed the censorship of the telegraph lines to report the news directly, in person.
