    Extractions: 18 novembre 2002 Vous qui utilisez internet, vous n'ignorez pas que ce système a été initialement développé par une agence du Pentagone, l'ARPA. Voici plusieurs années que celle-ci a changé de nom pour devenir l'Agence des projets de recherche avancée de la défense (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency - DARPA). En février 2002, Donald Rumsfeld l'a dotée de 200 millions de dollars de rallonge budgétaire pour développer deux nouveaux bureaux : celui de l'exploitation de l'information (Information Exploitation Office - IEO) et celui de la Connaissance de l'information (Information Awareness Office - IAO). L'IEO est chargé de déterminer les cibles des forces armées et de programmer des lanceurs et des munitions intelligentes pour les détruire. C'est cet organisme qui programme actuellement toutes sortes d'armes pour frapper 15 000 objectifs en deux semaines en Irak. L'IAO, quant à lui, est un organisme de recherche. Il doit mettre au point des logiciels permettant d'observer les comportements individuels dans le monde entier, de repérer les attitudes suspectes, de les analyser et de déterminer les terroristes potentiels. Mais l'élaboration de ces logiciels ne peut être distinguée de leur usage expérimental, de sorte que ce bureau est appelé à devenir à terme une agence de renseignements, probablement la plus puissante au monde. Comme l'IAO ne dispose que d'un statut de sous-agence, la nomination de son directeur n'est pas soumise au contrôle du Congrès. Donald Rumsfeld a ainsi pu nommer l'amiral John Poindexter à sa tête.

    A study guide for selections from voltaire's "Philosophical Dictionary" from Washington Category Arts Literature Authors V voltaireStudy Guide for voltaire's Philosophical Dictionary (Selections). Using thisGuide. However, it does not represent voltaire at his most influential.  
    http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~brians/hum_303/voltaire.html
    
    Extractions: Using this Guide List of other study guides The most commonly taught book by Voltaire is his amusing satire on philosophical optimism, Candide. It was even made into a delightful musical by Leonard Bernstein. However, it does not represent Voltaire at his most influential. Philosophical optimism is pretty much dead and has to be explained to students today so that they can grasp the point of his satire. Voltaire's thought ranged much more widely than this, however. In a very long life of tireless intellectual campaigning he was the most widely-read of the Enlightenment spokesmen known as philosophes. These writers prized clarity and wit, and Voltaire's writing abounds in both. However, these qualities are somewhat dimmed for many contemporary readers who don't have the background to appreciate his jokes or grasp his points without assistance. These notes try to provide some assistance in this regard, and draw the reader's attention to the most important issues. It has been said that "Voltaire criticized the Bible, but now everyone reads the Bible and no one reads Voltaire." Besides being wildly overstated, this jibe misses the point: we no longer read most of Voltaire's writings because the ideas he fearlessly promoted have mostly become commonplaces which we take for granted.

    Extractions: Cabaret Voltaire CABARET VOLTAIRE evolved around 1973, a nucleus of three people - Richard H. Kirk, Chris Watson and Stephen Mallinder - working mainly with sound experiments on tape recorders and electronic equipment and occasionally incorporating other people. The early performances were performance packages (Edinburgh Festival 1975), and occasional unadvertised performances. Around 1976 the group began to play on a more regular basis and took up offers of support slots for such groups as The Buzzcocks and Siouxsie and the Banshees. In October of 1978 the group released their first record, Extended Play for the Rough Trade label. Two months later they released two tracks for the Factory label (Factory Sample), and their first album Mix -Up was released in Autumn 1979. They have since gone on to release numerous records, working in the main for Rough Trade but also working with such labels as Industrial, Factory, Crepuscule and Fetish. As well as appearances in England, Cabaret Voltaire have played in various places throughout Europe, America and Japan. In November 1981 the group was reduced to a two piece unit when Chris Watson left to take up work in television. However they continued to incorporate other people in their studio and live work, Alan Fish in the main providing drums with the inclusion of Nort, another drummer, on occassions.

35. Voltaire's Bastards By John Ralston Saul - A Book Review By Scott London
    Scott London's review of the book.  
    http://www.scottlondon.com/reviews/saul.html
    
    Extractions: The Free Press, 1992, 640 pages This jeremiad on the evils of contemporary rationalism seems to have touched a nerve. It's been a steady bestseller in several countries and has reportedly been read by such people as the Canadian prime minister and the Czech premier. It's also elevated John Ralston Saul to celebrity status in Canada and elsewhere. He made the Utne Reader's list of "100 Visionaries" in 1995 and was even asked to give the prestigious Massey Lectures for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that same year. But don't be fooled. Despite all the hoopla, Voltaire's Bastards is anything but a delight to read. Neither the argument nor the historical facts Saul brings to bear on it stand out as especially noteworthy, and the narrative just keeps going on and on and on. After the first 140 pages in which Saul "establishes his argument," he goes on arguing and arguing for another 400-some pages about how rationalism has run amok in almost every sphere of modern society. His survey of "Scenes From a System that Doesn't Work" looks at everything from the international arms trade and "the obsession of our military with management systems" to the rise of corporatism in politics and the breakdown of public discourse into fixed ideological debates among experts. Saul also devotes several chapters to our yearning for heroes and our over-sentimentalization of leaders as well the sleight-of-hand methodology of modern economists.

    Extractions: Louis XIV , then just dead, he was seized and sent to the Bastile (May 17th 1717), where he remained upwards of a year. This time of imprisonment he improved by sketching his famous poem, afterwards published as the Henriade , and by finishing his tragedy, Cedipe , which was produced on the 18th of November 1718, and had so great a success with the public. In the summer of 1725, he became involved in a quarrel with the Chevalier de Rohan, and sent him a challenge, and as a result was consigned once more to the Bastile. His imprisonment was not, on this occasion, a long one; but it was only under a sentence of exile that he was permitted to issue from durance; and on doing so, he took himself to England. Some little time previous, the young Arouet had assumed the name of Voltaire, destined to become so famous. Arriving in England in 1726, Voltaire remained there upwards of two years. Whilst resident there, he published in a revised form his epic poem, the Henriade Candide , or the Optimist , may stand as the type. His literary correspondence was on an unexampled scale, and he was seldom without some fierce polemic on hand, in which his adversaries had to writhe for the amusement of the public, under the scourge of his envenomed wit.
