Claire Berlinski is a former CIA officer, now a professional writer, who lives in Istanbul and has consequently personal first hand experience of a democratic state ruled by an Islamic Party anxious to maintain popular support and stay in power. She predicts that new Islamic rulers of Egypt and Tunisia will model themselves on the Turkish Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi, abbreviated AKP).
If the Muslim Brotherhood and Ennahda end up governing or playing a large role in the governments in Egypt and Tunisia, there’s a pretty good chance it won’t look like Iran circa 1979. Here’s why.
The model for both of these movements–explicitly, in the case of Ennahda–is the AKP. What they will probably wish to do above all, at first, is reassure. They don’t want a civil war that they’d lose; they don’t want to rule by terror; and they won’t have to. They know things will go much easier for them if they lead with temperate, inclusive, tolerant rhetoric and campaign–above all–on the economy. They’ll talk so much about the economy and democracy that the Western media will rise up as one and say, “Look, why are you so worried? They’re moderates. All that radical stuff is in the past. They just want the same freedom to practice their religion they would have in the United States, and wow, look at those growth rates! Tigers!” In power, they will focus intensely, like the proverbial laser-beam, on creating the appearance of economic growth. (Long term growth? Heck, who knows if tomorrow will ever come?) There will be no fulminating anti-Western rhetoric (except on special occasions), no hand-choppings, no stonings. Everyone will heave a big sigh of relief.
We won’t see anything all that alarming until these parties have solidly established themselves in all the organs of the bureaucracy, the military and the judiciary. By then they’ll have figured out exactly how to win elections that look pretty free and fair: They’ll get a lot of help from the world’s best professional political advisers.
Then we’ll see subtle things, little feelers–they’ll wait to see if anyone in the rest of the world cares; they’ll notice that no one does (since they’re so busy being grateful that these governments haven’t yet introduced floggings and stonings). Women will slowly disappear from public life, but it will happen so gradually no one will really be able to pin it on them, and besides, it’s just women. In Egypt they’ll co-opt some very prominent Copts who will go out and shill for them, talking about the terrific reforms they’re putting in place to improve their status (until the shills quit in disgust, but that won’t get much media play overseas).
They won’t rip up the peace treaty with Israel. That’s stupid. They don’t need that kind of hassle. You don’t stay in power by bringing disaster upon the heads of the people you propose to govern, and of course they realize that what people actually want are jobs, not an apocalyptic war with Israel.
But right before every election–and yes, they’ll hold them–something odd will happen (a strange incident involving a ship full of unusually violent humanitarian aid workers, for example). Games like this have a terrible potential to get out of hand, so yes, we should worry about this. And these governments won’t do much on the diplomatic scene to stop Iran from, for example, swallowing other Middle East countries whole, or acquiring nuclear weapons. Not that they did much before, but they’ll do even less. The consequences of this won’t seem that bad until the day Iran announces it’s a nuclear power. (But who knows, maybe by then the Iranian regime itself will have collapsed–you’ve got to admit we just don’t know which governments are going to fall next.)
The good news: I predict this won’t happen overnight. If I’m right, that gives the Egyptians and Tunisians who don’t love this vision of the future a lot of time to organize and come up with a better alternative. If they want to know how to do it, they’ve got a great model in the Turkish opposition. Just look at everything they’ve done, and do exactly the opposite.

With all the talk of net neu­tral­i­ty, Wik­ileaks hav­ing it’s host­ing ser­vices pulled, and now the unfold­ing events in Egypt and else­where with inter­net ser­vices being with­drawn, I’ve been doing some think­ing around how we might cre­ate an inde­pen­dent­ly con­trolled inter­net. I’m cer­tain­ly not the only one think­ing about these issues, they’ve been occur­ring for a long time. While I won’t claim to be an expert on the engi­neer­ing details, what fol­low­ers is a ran­dom col­lec­tion of ideas of what I’m think­ing about this at the moment, and what I’ve found online that oth­ers are doing / have done.
The inter­net is not (at least how it works today) a pub­lic util­i­ty, it is a mish-mash of most­ly pri­vate­ly owned net­works oper­at­ing with a com­mon agreed pro­to­col and there are var­i­ous arrange­ments for how traf­fic can tran­sit. This cre­ates a vul­ner­a­bil­i­ty as inter­net traf­fic and our free­dom of speech are depen­dant on our ISP’s and Hosts eco­nom­ic and polit­i­cal sit­u­a­tions, our traf­fic becomes vul­ner­a­ble to being mon­i­tored, blocked or as what is hap­pen­ing in Egypt right now, shut of com­plete­ly via gov­ern­ment edict. We talk about how the web has enabled unpar­al­leled free­dom of speech, but this is under threat like nev­er before.
I’m think­ing that there is an alter­na­tive in terms of how we could run the inter­net. What if we could make it a pub­lic, but com­mu­ni­ty owned not gov­ern­ment owned util­i­ty? A co-op enter­prise on the scale of the GNU project to build out a com­mu­ni­ty owned, main­tained and oper­at­ed tier 1 net­work, becom­ing part of the inter­net back­bone. Are there new types of pro­to­cols and net­work­ing infra­struc­ture that can be designed and built? Can this be done with read­i­ly avail­able tools and net­work­ing tech­nol­o­gy? What hap­pens when we build a phys­i­cal dark-net? What I’m think­ing about and propos­ing is pos­si­ble is a Pirate Inter­net, a ref­er­ence to Pirate radio would serve as an inde­pen­dent, com­mu­ni­ty owned net­work infra­struc­ture.
Before main­stream inter­net / web access was avail­able, quite a few peo­ple would use their modems to dial up oth­er com­put­ers. These Bul­letin Board sys­tems (BBS’s) would be con­nectable by a modem pool, you could leave mes­sages, get mes­sages post­ed to you, often down­load a bunch of files. My broth­er used to con­nect to a bunch of them on the old Ami­ga, One was called Quan­tum, anoth­er had a Baby­lon 5 theme, all of which acces­si­ble over a ter­mi­nal text inter­face. This was basi­cal­ly an inde­pen­dent inter­net of its day. Not only could you leave mes­sages and file exchanges with peo­ple on the BBS you where con­nect­ed to, but the e-mail ser­vice would store and for­ward mes­sages on to oth­er BBS’s. I’m not sure if the ones my broth­ers con­nect­ed to where part of Fidonet, but basi­cal­ly the BBS host would peri­od­i­cal­ly dial up oth­er BBS’s to deliv­er mail and oth­er files. This was a way of chat­ting glob­al­ly at only a local call rate at the time, as the host com­put­ers would dial and for­ward mes­sages to near­by BBS of the same net­work. Lat­er on these would become access points for the inter­net in its own right, most­ly allow­ing e-mail via the inter­net and a Usenet serv­er, I think my first e-mail address was on one of these, though I nev­er found a use for it at the time. Still there was def­i­nite­ly a kind of nice geek­i­ness to inter­ac­tions over this inde­pen­dent hid­den ‘Net.’ Its also inter­est­ing to note that these inde­pen­dent nets are still out there (though most let you con­nect through the inter­net now).
Anoth­er take on this idea is the Sneak­er-net, so called after the footwear. In these net­works, the files are exchanged on usb flash dri­ves (or CD’s, Flop­py Disks etc…), per­son to per­son. This way data is passed via per­son­al con­nec­tions, most­ly intend­ed as a way of dis­trib­ut­ing large files where band­width isn’t avail­able or where phys­i­cal net­work con­nec­tions arn’t present. It’s an old idea, Tetris was spread in the com­mu­nist coun­tries flop­py disk to flop­py disk as there was no restric­tion on peo­ple dis­trib­ut­ing, man­ag­ing to spread to all cor­ners of the USSR and Com­mu­nist Coun­tries. There’s also the Aprils Fool joke RFC 1149 (or updat­ed for ‘qual­i­ty of ser­vice’ as RFC 2549) IP over Avian Car­ri­ers which has had a few test imple­men­ta­tions (just for fun, but demon­strates an inter­est­ing point).
On the inter­net side, there’s some very inter­est­ing devel­op­ments in terms of decen­tral­is­ing the under­ling inter­net infra­struc­ture. There are alter­na­tive root zone DNS servers, which are servers that act as a ref­er­ence point for oth­er DNS servers to trans­late domain names to IP address­es. The most inter­est­ing part of hav­ing these inde­pen­dent­ly man­aged root servers is the pos­si­bil­i­ty of intro­duc­ing new top lev­el domains that are hid­den from the rest of the net­work, for exam­ple if you (or your isp) uses Open­Nic as ref­er­ence DNS servers, you can pick up and reg­is­ter sites in the .free and oth­er top lev­el domains. There’s also P2P DNS so we don’t have to be reliant on ISP’s to do domain name trans­la­tion, but this process is dis­trib­uted so it can build up cen­sor­ship resis­tance. Final­ly there are true hid­den dark-nets on the inter­net, sort of meta inter­nets. One such as Freenet works by mak­ing each part of the net­work an encrypt­ed cache that stores part of the data itself, so when you want to host con­tent, you push it into the net­work, and it becomes dis­trib­uted amongst the nodes as more peo­ple down­load (or falls of the net­work if it is not pop­u­lar).
The most excit­ing for me, in terms of what I am think­ing for a Pirate Inter­net, are the wi-fi mesh net­works. There’s quite a few been set up and active, some com­mer­cial and oth­ers more com­mu­ni­ty owned. An exam­ple is (and I’m not sure if it is still going but is very close to what I have been think­ing about) consume.net, which from my under­stand­ing, is a set of inde­pen­dent­ly oper­at­ed mesh net­works that are all con­nect­ed togeth­er across Lon­don. Host­ed con­tent can be acces­si­ble freely, while there may be a charge to use the net­work as an access point to the wider inter­net. What I like about this is the very DIY ad hoc nature of putting togeth­er these net­works. Anoth­er idea I real­ly like is a plan to pur­chase a com­mu­ni­ca­tion satel­lite from a bank­rupt tel­co and move it over Africa to pro­vide free inter­net. I found Kostas Gram­ma­tis TedxA­thens Talk quite inspi­ra­tional, I real­ly like the idea of hav­ing an open satel­lite net­work avail­able to some of the poor­est coun­tries in the world.
Sim­i­lar to the tech­nique fol­lowed by consume.net, we could devel­op a set of com­mu­ni­ty owned and main­tained mesh net­works, say in a sin­gle street or local­i­ty. Some of which would have access points to the main inter­net from it, but not every node on the net­work needs to con­nect to the main inter­net, hope­ful­ly the hard­ware should be able to use off the shelf kit (some­thing to research). Attached to each mesh net­work would be a microwave link to oth­er mesh net­works, I’m think­ing it could be sim­i­lar to how pirate sta­tions link their stu­dios to the TX site, eas­i­ly assem­ble and dis­trib­utable instruc­tions, which are then used to link these mesh net­works togeth­er. This forms an inde­pen­dent back­bone for traf­fic trav­el­ling via mesh to mesh, and depend­ing on how scal­able this could become a glob­al net­work. Ques­tions are: how to link cities togeth­er? can it cross bor­ders? could we get that satel­lite capac­i­ty? how to make the net­work resilient from take down and sab­o­tage par­tic­u­lar­ly in heav­i­ly cen­sored coun­tries where build­ing a Pirate Inter­net could be made ille­gal?
This com­mu­ni­ty owned mesh net­work would allow for for­ward­ing to the main inter­net, and could even become part of the inter­net for allow­ing traf­fic to tran­sit (to make this DIY net­work part of the main inter­net back­bone prop­er). For added pri­va­cy, Tor like onion rout­ing could be imple­ment­ed and P2P DNS while traf­fic is trav­el­ling over the mesh, so there would be many access points con­nect­ed to the mesh net­work you are on, but also traf­fic could be rout­ed to a dif­fer­ent mesh via the microwave link to exit and appear from there.
Where this comes into it’s own though is by pro­vid­ing an under­ground net­work, a sort of dark net. There could be two types of net­work address recog­nised inter­nal­ly. A .mesh address would be local con­tent, effec­tive­ly for run­ning your own web-serv­er or e-mail serv­er on your local mesh, with net­work address­ing so that it is reach­able from mesh to mesh, this would use stan­dard IP net­work­ing method­ol­o­gy, though like the alter­na­tive DNS this would only be acces­si­ble for those on the mesh (and there would be options to how it could be acces­si­ble, but essen­tial­ly a quick way of adding servers). The sec­ond method would take after Freenet, and use encrypt­ed cached stor­age to push and pull con­tent into the net­work. These .libre address would be con­tent stores with appro­pri­ate keys, and each part of the mesh would have some reserved capac­i­ty for caching this con­tent as it trav­els the mesh.
Anoth­er issue to think about is SSL cer­tifi­cates and self sign­ing, or hav­ing a net­work of trust that can sign on your behalf. This would be instead of going to a cer­tifi­cate author­i­ty to get cre­den­tials to encrypt some­thing on the net­work, you could self sign, and oth­ers could main­tain an ‘excep­tion list’ of peo­ple they trust that they can vouch for (or revoke their cer­tifi­cate as the case may be), that oth­ers on the mesh have the option to sub­scribe to.
There’s lots of things to think about on this issue, I’m still very much research­ing this, to see what is pos­si­ble. I’m very inter­est­ed in hav­ing con­ver­sa­tions about secur­ing a free inter­net infra­struc­ture. Ask­ing, and debat­ing, the pos­si­bil­i­ties for a Pirate Inter­net?

My first encounter with John Exton as performing musician was at a recital about 25 years ago in which he played a work that Bach had written for unaccompanied cello. John, though, most unusually, played it in a transcription for viola. I was at the time struck by the profound musicianship he brought to the task. It was a novel take on an established masterwork – but John, more often than not, approached life on his own, often unusual, terms.
Alan Bonds, who teaches violin at the University of Western Australia, recalls long ago domestic chamber music sessions presided over by John.
“It might start with a snack and a drink followed by an hour or two of Haydn and Mozart quartets, more refreshments, then Beethoven or Schubert dragged out, then, after a midnight snack, Brahms might make an appearance – the quartets or sextets – which often saw us to dawn. A swim at the beach might follow. I vividly remember John’s son Peter, then about 10 years old, appearing at the door of the living room around 2am, asking ‘Are you all totally mad?’ ”
John viewed the world through a singular prism, a man of very strongly held views, not easily swayed by a contrary opinion and not infrequently obdurate in defence of a point of view.
Young John took up the violin at the age of eleven and in 1950 became leader of the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain. He then read music at Cambridge, as a scholar, research student and later Fellow at King’s College.
He studied composition in London with Matyas Seiber who is believed to be the only composer to have met his end as a result of being sat upon by an elephant – and, after winning the prestigious Mendelssohn Scholarship for composition, he studied with Luigi Dallapiccola in Florence.
Two years’ National Service, involving work in acoustics with the R.A.F., bore fruit some fifteen years later in connection with an electronic studio in Perth.
Returning to Cambridge in 1960, John married Gillian Chadwick, a cartographer at Clarendon Press, and spent the next three years composing in an ancient thatched cottage with roses over the door and a huge open fireplace. He was awarded a Doctorate of Music by Cambridge University in 1964. He was then Director of Music at Bedales School in Hampshire for three years, before coming to Perth with sons Peter and Stephen. Gill recalls “we saw there was more room here, so we filled some of it with Jane. We bought an old house in Claremont, and John did things to it which gave him enormous satisfaction.“
During study leave from UWA in 1972, John visited several electronic music studios in USA and worked in one in Cardiff, Wales – and bought a fine 18th-century viola, an instrument after which he had long hankered but only played consistently from this time.
John would often swim against the tide. Although a product of Cambridge University, where the retrieval and preservation of early music performance practice was an article of faith, John would have none of it. His interest was in live performance – and he disapproved of recordings which he felt fossilized the experience of a piece of music.
As Alan Bonds points out, however, although John might have had little time for the music of, say, Elgar or Vaughan Williams, he would nonetheless use some of their works for the Student Chamber Orchestra at UWA and direct them with diligence and fidelity to the score – and there were adventurous excursions into lesser known repertoire by, inter alia, Purcell and Skalkottas.
Bonds, too, recalls with pleasure John’s immaculately prepared recitals with, among others, Madame Alice Carrard in repertoire which ranged from Bach to Webern.
John’s compositions range from orchestral pieces such as “Ryoanji” for 40 strings and percussion to works for solo oboe and solo violin. There are also seven string quartets and some electronic music works. An affinity for instrumental music and instrumentalists did not deter him from creativity in vocal music, producing, for instance, a setting of Hilaire Belloc’s Bad Child’s Book of Beasts for a concert by Kings College choir and a “Story of Christ’s Nativity according to St Luke for Bedales School. A highlight of his work in Perth was presiding over a performance of Bach’s St John Passion.
steadily. After a second trip to India in 1993, he encountered Theravada Buddhism which became important to him.
At John’s funeral, wife Gill said: “Our family has always been close and dear to us and some of our most valued times have been around the candlelit dining table, camping in the bush together and building our house in Kalamunda which we completed as a family team.”
Gardening was a long term delight and wife Gill says “he admired nature taking its course and interfered minimally with a mower or hand saw when grass grew or trees fell down. He grew vegies in Kalamunda when the family was at home but not by method. Results were variable.”
His garden, John said, had no weeds, for weeds were plants you don’t want and his were all welcome – and kangaroos came regularly to keep the grass short.
On, or very close to, John’s last teaching day within the (then) Department of Music, I came into his office to ask him a question about a particular student. By this time, I had just returned from my studies in the USA and had taken up a teaching fellowship at UWA. Of the many tutorials and lectures I gave, at least four were related to John’s course titled ‘Techniques of Musical Structure’. Every student undertook this course over his/her first two years of the Mus.B. program. It was a rite of passage about which, even to this day, I have never heard a word from a past student that wasn’t praiseworthy.
Without this two year course students would have had no understanding of modern counterpoint (or how counterpoint, in general, functioned, for that matter), harmonic and linear – including dodecaphonic – negotiation of atonality, and a assortment of related areas of creative techniques of prolongation. John had designed and re-designed the course in his quest to make its content as creatively and mentally stimulating as he could, mindful of the knowledge he would, initially, need to clear away the musty, derivative and lazy thinking of the secondary school system. And it was presented to students with a wit they wouldn’t have previously encountered, and in a manner that left no doubt about the depth of knowledge, and adoration of the art of music, of its presenter.
So, on this final day, I knocked on the door and entered the room. There was John, standing up and leaning on a floor to ceiling bookcase (a position he often adopted when completing the cryptic crossword of The Australian newspaper) and he was discarding, what I assumed to be, a clutter of useless papers and files….clearing out the premises, as it were. But, to my astonishment – no, my horror – he was throwing out ALL the folders and sheets, two year’s worth of indispensable education, of the entire course.
“What are you doing?” I asked with genuine dismay. “It’s useless now. This ‘lot’ (sic) won’t know what to do with it” he replied. I then responded: “Well I do and I’ll take it” as I, presumptuously, reached into the rubbish bin and rescued every file. I added: “And I’ll take these too” as I reached across for the other files awaiting to be similarly disposed of. John then said: “You’re welcome to them Stuart. Good luck!”. My telling of the incident is poor because it disguises the fact that he and I were both somewhat outraged that such a vital body of information had nowhere else, other than the trash bin, to go to be further utilised. The reader would need to have been present to hear the tone with which these words were spoken.
Over the years since, I have browsed through this course material and I have thought of ways to up-date it in places and to extend its reach to include ways of rhythmic variation, timbre as a unifying parameter, and even, during an additional year to start to introduce some higher level analysis (rather than the usual abrupt bolt to Schenkerism). On the whole, I think John would have been pleased with the evolution of his course and I feel it’s about the finest tribute I could make to commemorate such an intensely gifted and creative thinker.
Each page brings back a memory of the day it was presented to me, as a student in class: “Stravinsky went slowly downhill after Le Sacre” or, my personal favourite: “The organ’s nothing more than a box of whistles…it’s true, think about it”. So many gems, as they appear now, that felt like nasty stings at the time. These memories show an important part of John’s educative strategy: to hit them when they least expect it and, while the gap thus created – between conscious searching and shock – is there, insert the new information. This is the essence of masterful teaching.
I don’t know what I’m going to do the new ‘Techniques of Musical Structure’ and perhaps, for the time being, it doesn’t matter. I didn’t extricate the files to assuage John’s dark feelings about the department, for that was not my concern. I delivered them for what they contained and how they could be further enriched. It was unimaginable to me to try to visualise this mass of intelligence, insight and experience being ditched with the daily collected refuse of sandwich wrappers and cigarette butts.

"The Mummy" and "It Comes at Night" reveal a more postmodern approach to the genre, at the expense of actual fright.
FORT WORTH, TX, November 15, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ — The call went out by Ron Sturgeon, local entrepreneur, for sponsors for his truly unique Art-On-A-Can Arts Festival, benefiting the SPCA of Texas, and the call was answered by some heavy-hitters in the Fort Worth area.
“That’s how it is in Texas,” Sturgeon explains. “You hold an event which benefits a worthy cause, and it doesn’t take long for the business community to sign on. The response has been extraordinary, and I think the public is going to have a fantastic time at the Arts Festival.
The last in that list is worth noting because that is the new Sturgeon business park where the festival will be held, the first, and only, business park in Fort Worth made entirely from shipping containers.
“Think about it,” Sturgeon continues. “We are having perhaps the first-even graffiti art festival at the first-ever shipping container business park. It doesn’t get much more unique than that. This will be great fun for the whole family, and we’re expecting a big crowd.”
The festival will include live music, drawings, tours of the business park, an art gallery walk, costume contests, food trucks, and of course, the SPCA adoption vehicle full of furry friends looking for a new home.
The Arts Festival will run from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on March 17, 2018, Sturgeon wants to make sure everyone knows dogs are welcome. $5 per person, kids under 12 are free, all proceeds will go to SPCA of Texas.
