My contribution to Naviar Records Haiku Challenge 508.

Haiku by John Hinks
Deep, dark summer night
A Sudden shatt of moonlight 
Blesses the temple
stepping stones

V1
No time left to let the penny drop
I'm just surrounded by a sense of shock
Time moving backwards as I watch the clock
Deep distance rumblings of the aftershock

A sense of terror in the blackened skies
A fatal error as the daylight dies
Someone is calling will it ever end ?
A blunt attack on a so called friend

Ch
Falling – Everything is falling
Everyone is stalling
To the bitter end

Will we ever live in peace ?
Can we ever shake this disease ?
The ghosts and demons keep on calling

V2
I watched the tracers lighting up the sky
I heard the children scream and die
Saw a city turning into dust
The seed of hatred where there's no more trust

Now we're surrounded by a primitive scream
The land is barren and the broken dream
You had to suffer such a terrible fate
The world was watching but it left it too late

(c) Bradley - 2023

Shock

Johnny’s on the Water was learned from the singing of Appalachian folk singer Jean Ritchie (1922 - 2015). It twists the archetypal story of a woman left behind by a sailor, the singer rejecting grief and finding empowerment: ‘if he can live without me, I can live without him’. This line became the heart of our arrangement. 

We created this arrangement in residence at Snape Maltings in 2022. In slowing down the tempo, destabilising the rhythm, and replacing Ritchie’s sparse dulcimer accompaniment with an ensemble of modular synths, guitars and affected strings, we explore the way that the open sea warps our understanding of time and distance. The trumpet solo was played by Lissie Daly, a tireless campaigner for women in brass.

Watch Me Drown

Dr. Piers Robinson asks the question whether Coronavirus or COVID-19 is the New 9/11 and a deep event to be exploited by political actors in order to precipitate and manage major political, economic, and social shifts. 

Will the loss of liberty and basic rights continue indefinitely as governments greedily hold on to their increased powers of control over their citizenry? Will Corona be exploited in order to distract from severe economic problems whilst also enabling the pursuit of new economic strategies? 

He also gives an update on the OPCW leaks which revealed that the Douma chemical attacks in Syria were fabricated.

About Piers Robinson
Dr Piers Robinson is Co-Director of the Organisation for Propaganda Studies, convenor of the Working Group on Syria, Propaganda and Media and Chief Editor of Speciality Section ‘Political Communication’ in Frontiers in Communication

Professor/Chair in Politics, Society and Political Journalism, University of Sheffield, 2016-2019.

Senior Lecturer in International Politics, University of Manchester, 2005-2015.
Lecturer in Political Communication, University of Liverpool, 1999-2005.

He researches communication, media and world politics, focusing on conflict and war. His work has been cited in publications such as ‘The Responsibility to Protect’, published by the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS), and he has received many invitations to lecture and advise on these topics. He has lectured at the NATO Defense College in Rome, given presentations/briefings at the University of Oxford to UK senior military commanders and diplomats and at St Cyer military academy in France. He has given public talks for Stop the War Coalition, Frome Stop the War and Media on Trial.

His current research focuses on organised persuasive communication (OPC) and contemporary propaganda. The development and application of a conceptual framework, designed to examine deceptive and non-deceptive OPC, was originally applied to the case of the 2003 Iraq War and is now published. This research has been developed into a broader research agenda aimed at theorising and researching propaganda and he is currently working on a number of projects including research funding bids examining propaganda during the current Syrian conflict,  propaganda during the 9/11 ‘war on terror’, as well as conceptual papers and monographs on OPC and propaganda.

Piers is also active in cultivating a number of related activities aimed at engaging both the academic community and the public with the issue of deceptive and coercive OPC and contemporary propaganda. These include the recently established Organisation for Propaganda Studies (co-directors Professors David Miller, Chris Simpson and Mark Crispin Miller), the Working Group on Syria, Propaganda and Media  and the Working Group on Propaganda and the 9/11 Global ‘War on Terror’.

On The Same Planet

The Geopolitics & Empire Podcast conducts interviews with prominent international experts on a wide-range of topics.

Past guests have included diplomats, government officials, whistleblowers, soldiers, spies, economists, academics, scientists, wealthy investors, dissidents, journalists, and musicians.

The broadcast seeks to gain insight from guests who come from the left, right, and beyond. It should go without saying that the host does not always agree with beliefs espoused by podcast invitees, but maintains an open mind, and believes it important to respectfully listen to a multitude of voices and let listeners come to their own conclusions.
