Johanna Faust, a mixed race Jew, prefers to publish pseudonymously. She is committed: first, to preventing war, ecological disaster, and nuclear apocalypse; last to not only fighting for personal privacy & the freedom of information, but, by representing herself as a soldier in that fight, to exhorting others to do the same. She is a poet, always. All these efforts find representation here: "ah, Mephistophelis" is so named after the last line of Christopher Marlowe's Dr. Faustus, whose heretical success flouted the censor for a time.

The Military Was Just Ordered To Active Duty -- STATESIDE?!

The executive order, is dated April 1, 2020 but was revised on the 30th.  The same day the lockdown orders — extended on March 29, effectively lapse.  They were not extended.
 
Trump's entire EO is here.





Be seeing you.
