Moments of Truth

Jeff Dorchen Truth Moment

Crazy Frog and different soundtracks

I'm in my 30s and Jeff Dorchen is in his 50s. Guess which one of us had to look up how to spell pinochle. In this new Moment of Truth, the old Jeff Dorchen travels backwards in time (demographically,) runs from Mad Men, dresses down grandparents, critiques the state of modern assassination, and offers up absolutely no wisdom to pass to the next generation.

According to his contacts on LinkedIn, Jeff Dorchen can do just about anything. He’s a visual artist, songwriter/musician, actor, essayist, poet, playwright and screenwriter. He’s also an amateur scholar of Judaic, Hindu and Japanese spiritual lore. His many unfinished novels are still unfinished.

Old-ass Jeff Dorchen optimistically announces the end of youth culture.

He might have read the article last week. Or maybe next week. Anyway it got Jeff Dorchen so confused he lost track of when it is - past, present or future. Does it matter? Is this what the future looks like? Would you have thought so in the past?

Jeff Dorchen looks forward to looking back to the future of the present day.

SPOILER WARNING: Jeff Dorchen is going to spoil whatever the screenwriters of the new Planet of the Apes movie didn't already. In the future, monkeys give everyone the cold, people are still making poor gun-shooting decisions, apes stand in for Israelis / Palestinians / Atreides / Indians / Colonialists / Nazis / Jews / vampires / whatevers. Jeff blows it all to hell.

This is the one of the rare Moments of Truth that is funny in absolutely no way. What can you say that is funny after you read an essay titled "I’m a cop. If you don’t want to get hurt, don’t challenge me"? What can you say after you get past the reality of that title and read the actual words of an essay titled "I’m a cop. If you don’t want to get hurt, don’t challenge me"? 

Jeff Dorchen spends the first installment of a multi-part monologue examining how realities of American life breed the kinds of powerful, violent narcissism we see unleashed on the streets of Ferguson. If you're a violent, narcissistic cop and you don't want to get hurt, don't read this challenge.

Jeff Dorchen looks in the mirror and reflects on the narcissism of violence.

Jeff Dorchen isn't going to convince you that torture is wrong. Jeff Dorchen isn't going to convince Dick Cheney that torture is wrong. So you, or Dick Cheney, need to get used to living in Jeff's America, where dissent and consent walk hand-in-hand, justice and injustice don't, and nothing gets put up anyone's anus without them being okay with it.

Jeff Dorchen and Dick Cheney torture further the already tortured logic of torture.

In a forward-looking Moment of Truth, Jeff Dorchen beholds the inequalites of the past, present, and he's pretty sure future, and finds them looking suspiciously similar, despite the assurances otherwise from today's crowd of billionaire tech/finance creeps at their billionaire tech/finance creep festival.

Future creep: On economy, society and our shiny new barbarism.

In a Moment of Truth, Jeff Dorchen mounts the world's priority pendulum, stuck firmly in the "greed" half of its arc between communalism and self-interest since the Reagan/Thatcher years, and warns that mounting debt for the poor and bailouts for the rich, and shrieking bats for CNBC and riots and corruption and naked greed only last so long before the violence swings back around.

And the people explode: On capitalism, pressure and rage.

Jeff Dorchen commiserates with perhaps the least powerful American of all - Barack Obama, bound by the natural laws of incrementalism and retrograde progress, and missing that magic wand that allowed past presidents to bomb and negotiate their will across history, now limited to sitting in a fogbank and making small tweaks to a machine that may or may not be plugged in.

The President is not a wizard, what magic do you expect from him?

In a Moment of Truth gang agley, Jeff Dorchen considers the monkeywrenches throw into the works of both political parties this election year, and finds the Bernie shaped one more interesting (and silly) as it challenges the inevitability setting of the Clinton machine, infuriating pre-diminished expectations and true believers alike.

Wee, sleekit, cow'rin, tim'rous Bernie: The election's best laid plans.

In a time-sensitive Moment of Truth, Jeff Dorchen considers the few billion of years worth of pasta-flinging that lead to our current present right now, and wonders if there's some larger, subconcious, species specific goal humanity has in mind - to be found in a future somewhere between Buddhas and monsters, heroes and villains, equanimity and whatever the opposite of equanimity is.
