The code they designed became the Motion Picture Conduct Code, popularly know as the Hays Code after it was adopted by William Hays, a Presbyterian elder who was hired by the major studios to help clean up the industry’s image after it was rocked by a series of scandals. The code, says Black, “was a fascinating combination of Catholic theology, conservative politics and pop psychology—an amalgam that would control the content of…

American Indians Irate over Bin Laden Code Name “Geronimo”

…og that he felt that Custer or Columbus would have been a more appropriate code name for bin Laden, and that the use of Geronimo was just another example of how “We’ve been reduced to caricatures as mascots and entertainment in sports and media.”  In fact, the Senate Indian Affairs Committee held hearings recently on American Indians and racist stereotypes, and one of the first items of business was a discussion of why this particular code name wa…

Arizona Supreme Court Rules Against Disenfranchisement — But Privacy Issues Remain

…fication mix-up does not end with the decision to allow them to vote in the 2024 election. On November 4, the same court affirmed a lower court decision requiring Secretary of State Adrian Fontes’ office to turn over the entire list of affected voters to various legislative officials, with no positive assurance that the names would be kept confidential. The decision followed a public records request and subsequent appeals from America First Legal,…

The ‘Unified Reich’ Scandal is a Feature Not a Bug of Trump’s Brand of American Fascism

…ted, but it’s the Groypers who are going to be in the staff positions, and free to enact their political vision for America. It’s the same fascist fever swamp that brought us the heavily Groyper-coded DeSantis ad with the Nazi “Schwarze Sonne.” Asked if he could see a second Trump administration potentially hiring Hochman, Walsh’s response was sobering: If Trump is serious about his calls to become a dictator on day one, somebody’s going to have t…

With Election Takeaways Like ‘Too Transgender’ or ‘the US is Shifting Right,’ Dems are Determined to Learn the Wrong Lesson

…ortionately burdening the people least able to afford them. Unsurprisingly, 2024 voting patterns reflect the resulting discontent: According to the exit poll data, Kamala Harris won among families who made less than $30,000 in 2023 and those who made more than $100,000. By comparison, Trump won among families who earned between $30,000 and $99,999—too much to qualify for government assistance, but—in many cases—not enough to get by. One could stil…

Even if Voters ‘Get What They Asked For’ it’s More Likely to Cause a Fascist Death Spiral Than a Lesson Learned

…[and] 12 social security cards,” whose tax-free income exceeded $500,000 in 2024 dollars. Another of Reagan’s favorite punchlines involved the fanciful notion that food stamps might enable “some young fellow [to cut in line] ahead of you to buy a T-bone steak” while “you were waiting in line to buy hamburger.” When Reagan first introduced the line about the T-bone steak, the food stamp recipient cutting in line was “some strapping young buck,” (“b…

The Intellectual Source Code For National Conservatism Can Be Found at This Niche Catholic Publication

…cultural conservatism in the United States. The foundation of this source code (the motherlode of the code, as it were) is Catholic natural law moral philosophy. Natural law is the 800-year-old Thomist tradition that absorbs (from revelation and scripture) and communicates (into public discourse and legal practice) a quite specific understanding of the human individual as the summit of God’s creation. First Things has hosted some of the most impo…

Capricology: Tattoos, Blood, Cyber-Dating

…you who study religion may have a good deal to say about the centrality of free will (i.e. law over code) in different religious traditions. One thing that strikes me week by week is how much the show takes as given our understanding of the digital realm: our ability to think in terms of interfaces, memory, avatars, virtual world economies, and the like. I might contrast that with how fundamentally indecipherable a film like Tron was when it was r…

…of their hatred for our beliefs.” He added that there is “no such thing as freedom of speech when there are blatant attacks against an entire religious community.” Ironically, in an earlier interview, Gobrail spoke out and supported the European cartoonists who drew caricatures of the Prophet Mohamed wearing a bomb as a turban. He said at the time that freedom of expression “should be upheld no matter what.” These contradictions have left human ri…

The Biblical Money Code!

…y up to $50,000 a year. Unlike Hovind, Hyman is giving away his system for free. All you have to do is sit through an hour-long video, during which Hyman explains how “to unlock vast amounts of wealth safely and ethically.” Fancy explanations are provided, but it’s actually rather simple. Hyman advises investors to research the company before buying a stock: “Is the business run well? Are customers happy and sales increasing?” Which is actually go…
