In The Tin Hat<\/em><\/strong>, his fifth humorous work of fiction with Coolgrove, author Kevin Bartelme brings us another biting satire about our culture\u2019s fast slide into disturbing, uncharted territory. Not new to that critical point of view, our author lends us his literary goggles to witness hosts of science deniers submitting to delusional superstitions in hot, blind pursuit of their measures of success. Through deft application of dramatic devices he allows us a comedic gaze at outrageous behavior in the light of wise hindsight to be found in the best of ancient Greek comedians\u2014writing as they were, in an already mature democracy and no strangers to diversity and valuing truth over correctness or lies. In The Tin Hat,<\/em> Bartelme tells it like it is. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Professor Ted Gershem and his graduate school abnormal psychology seminar participants investigate conspiracy theorists diverse as flat-earthers and gluten rejectors they encounter a slew of Cassandras who warn them about everything from the Reptilians to the Bilderbergers. Before long they find themselves plunged in bizzare world-views where nothing is what it seems and where dark, unseen forces, battle for control of our minds. In this outrageous gambol through the dark side of New York, the group gets more than what they bargained for as they\u2019re drawn into bizarre, off the wall situations involving eccentrics with exceedingly \u2018rich inner lives\u2019 dwelling in nothing but alternate realities propounded by, among other extreme tin hatters, a cabal of Ayn Rand revivalists. We are taken on a painless romp through an America gone soft on science but fallen hard for fabricated untruths passing for news. What will the ardent members of a theater group not do<\/em> for their minute, or fifteen, of fame?<\/em> For lovers of Americana, The Tin Hat<\/em> has the power to vaccinate against the depression and gloom in circulation in 2020 as the nation hurtles toward the most contentious and landmark election in US history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chapter One of The Tin Hat<\/em> excerpted:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Author: Kevin Bartelme<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            ‘I am not a paranoid. Not in the normal sense anyway. Even if I were, just remember even paranoids have enemies. Just remember that. So take a moment and let me tell you what\u2019s going on. It\u2019s not an opinion, it\u2019s a fact. Number one, you don\u2019t have any control over your own mind. Everything you think, everything you feel, everything you do has been organized by someone else since the day you were born. You are immersed in propaganda so deep and pervasive that you don\u2019t even recognize it. After all, it\u2019s your natural environment. You do what it tells you to do, you feel what it tells you to feel, and, above all, you think what it tells you to think. You don\u2019t really exist at all. You are just a figment of someone else\u2019s imagination. Now things get really interesting. If you are a figment of someone\u2019s imagination, is that someone a figment of someone else\u2019s imagination? You can see where this is going, can\u2019t you? Frankly, I can\u2019t. But I\u2019m trying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            At least I\u2019m trying, which is more than I can say about all the zombies standing in line with me at the check out line in the grocery store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Speaking of groceries, I eat gluten. In fact, I eat all the gluten I can get. Within reasonable limits, of course. Bread is and always has been the staff of life. For tens of thousands of years. So who are all these freaks babbling about how it\u2019s poisonous or something. And one more thing. Their gluten free dough is completely unworkable without adding sugar. Sugar!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cSo what do we have here?\u201d Professor Gershem looked up from the note he was reading aloud and threw the question open to the five Ph.D candidates in his graduate seminar on abnormal psychology. \u201cWhat sort of person wrote this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cA nut,\u201d the fat class comic wisecracked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cThanks for your perceptive diagnosis, David, but what sort of nut is this guy?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cI think he\u2019s a paranoid schizophrenic,\u201d Rhoda Memberman suggested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cWhy is that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cWell, the first thing he claims is that he\u2019s not paranoid. Then he goes on to say we are all being controlled by propaganda. Everyone
but him, that is. That\u2019s sort of the same thing as voices in his head that no one else can hear.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cOkay,\u201d said Professor Gershem, \u201cnow we\u2019re getting somewhere, but paranoid schizophrenia is a really strong term. How about someone just walking down the street listening to their iPod? They\u2019re hearing voices too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut those voices are real,\u201d Akisha Lumumba objected. \u201cIf you put on the iPod you can hear them too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cSo if everybody was listening to the same iPod tune, this guy would be perfectly fine,\u201d said Barry Breen. \u201cThat\u2019s just monotheism. One voice, one word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cYou\u2019re not just talking about monotheism,\u201d Akisha objected. \u201cYou\u2019re talking about patriarchalism, the white man with the long white beard who looks like Santa Claus coming down the mountain like Charlton Heston with the Ten Commandments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cNo one shall pry my stones from these arthritic old hands!\u201d
David Kogan erupted theatrically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think Akisha might have a point,\u201d said Breen. \u201cActually, Moses was the very last person in the Bible to talk to God so that makes him the final authority on God\u2019s wishes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cWhy are we talking theology?\u201d Rhoda Memberman complained. \u201cThe guy who wrote what Professor Gershem just read doesn\u2019t even mention religion. He seems more concerned about his digestive system than God. Don\u2019t do it,\u201d she warned David Kogan. \u201cYou\u2019re going to say the guy must be Jewish. Ha, ha, ha.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou said it, not me,\u201d said Kogan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cI think we\u2019re all missing the point here,\u201d Professor Gershem tried to get the discussion back on track. \u201cThis guy is talking about  propaganda, not voices in his head. He is talking about human, not divine, agency. He is talking about people manipulating, or attempting to manipulate, other people. By the way, I know nothing about gluten. I\u2019m not a nutritionist. but this guy thinks that the people in the supermarket check-out line are zombies created by some sort of malign
conspiracy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cApophenia<\/em>?\u201d said shy Rino Matsui who very rarely spoke at all but, in the Professor\u2019s estimation, was the sharpest student in the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlease, elaborate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cHe thinks that the world revolves around him and he\u2019s the only one who can read the messages it\u2019s sending.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cSo he\u2019s a solipsist,\u201d said the Professor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cI\u2019m sorry\u2026\u201d said Rino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cA solipsist is someone who thinks the world, as you just said, revolves around himself alone. Does anyone here ever read their horoscope in the newspaper or wherever? Have any of you ever read a fortune cookie?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Everyone, of course, murmured in assent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cDid you ever, even for a tiny split second, think that it actually applied to you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cDo you mean the horoscope in the Post isn\u2019t true?\u201d David
            Kogan wailed. \u201cYou\u2019ve ruined my whole day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Gershem actually had a good heckler put-down to shoot back, which started, \u201cWell, in your case\u2026\u201d but he decided to ignore Kogan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cWhat I mean to say is that we all suffer from apophenia, if only in a very mild way. As individuals, we all are occasional victims of self-referential delusions. But that doesn\u2019t seem to apply in this case. This guy thinks that everybody is getting the same message but he\u2019s the only one that can see through this \u2018natural environment\u2019 as he calls it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cHe\u2019s hardly the only one,\u201d Breen objected. \u201cThere are whole books written on the subject of propaganda. Maybe you should just send him a reading list.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo when we talk about propaganda, when we talk about a system of indoctrination orchestrated by those in power, what are we really talking about?\u201d Gershem asked his class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cGovernment,\u201d said Rhoda. \u201cIn order to rule, the government has to manipulate the governed. But there\u2019s nothing new about that. It\u2019s been around through all recorded history and probably well before that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cAs I said before, I don\u2019t know much about gluten,\u201d said Gershem, \u201cbut is this guy a nut? Is he wrong about a deliberate attempt by a small group of people to manipulate everyone else? Is he a tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist or a highly perceptive observer of society as a whole?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cWe can\u2019t really analyze him,\u201d Breen objected, \u201cwithout a whole lot more information. Is he one of those guys who think the
reptilian shapeshifting Queen of England rules the world through the Satanic Bilderbergers? Is he a big alien invasion enthusiast?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cYou\u2019re right, Barry,\u201d said Gershem. \u201cWe shouldn\u2019t draw conclusions based on a single piece of paper but I think this guy\u2019s attitude is becoming more and more prevalent in our society. People are reflexively questioning the legitimacy of any sort of official narrative.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cWell, look, we know we\u2019re being spied on and we\u2019re being lied to about it,\u201d said Akisha. \u201cI think that creates a lot of anxiety and the result of all that anxiety is a lot of people think someone is conspiring against them as individuals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt makes them feel more important than they really are,\u201d said
Rhoda. \u201cIt simultaneously makes them feel in the know and, because of that, dangerous to the powers that be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cIt\u2019s sort of like \u2018Invasion of the Body Snatchers\u2019,\u201d said Kogan. \u201dThe iPod People are closing in on him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cZombies,\u201d Breen corrected him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo how to treat this guy?\u201d Gershem asked. \u201cHe\u2019s going to look at any attempt to disabuse him of his notions as proof of a wider
conspiracy, that the therapist is trying to turn him into a zombie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cAnd if some shrink tries to put him on some psychoactive drug he\u2019d be right,\u201d Akisha observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cWe don\u2019t have to disparage our more pharmaceutically inclined colleagues in the mental health field,\u201d said Gershem. \u201cI\u2019m sure a tiny
fraction of them are well intentioned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            He got his laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cSo that\u2019s the problem,\u201d said Gershem. \u201cI want to hear your
suggestions next time we meet.\u201d The professor looked at his watch.
            \u201cSorry, I\u2019ve got to run but I\u2019ve got meeting in ten minutes. See you all on Tuesday.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

             The seminar dispersed as usual with everyone going their own ways. The tenuous camaraderie of the classroom seemed to evaporate as soon as they were out the door. But not this time with Barry Breen attempting to converse with exceedingly polite and seemingly unattainable Rino Matsui. \u201cI thought what you said was very interesting. Do you have time for a coffee?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            His spirits soared when she said rather offhandedly, \u201cI think I have a few minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            They found a little coffee bar right across and down the street from the main university entrance, and Breen paid for her latte, a most forward thing to do indeed from her point of view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cYou don\u2019t have to do that,\u201d she said almost petulantly. Actually she was secretly thrilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cI just wanted to break this fifty,\u201d he explained. \u201cThe next one\u2019s on you. Just kidding. It\u2019s my pleasure. Kanpai,\u201d he said lightly bumping his paper coffee cup against hers,\u201cYou speak Japanese?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cYes I do. I can count; ichi, ni, uni<\/em>\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            She giggled. She couldn\u2019t help herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cI can say thank you very much; Arigato gozaimasen<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            This time she squealed with laughter. \u201cWho taught you
Japanese? It\u2019s so bad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cYou really think so? It\u2019s that\u2026 yabai<\/em>?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            She suddenly looked at him with reluctant respect. He was  teasing her. He knew what he was saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cPerhaps you could teach me more?\u201d he pressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cPerhaps. When I\u2019ve got time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cWhy don\u2019t you give me your phone number?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cGive me your phone number. I\u2019ll call you.\u201d She looked at her watch. \u201cNow, really, I have to go. Thank you for the coffee.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

             As she walked off down the street, it was impossible not to notice that little extra swing in her hips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cWhat do they want anyway?\u201d Breen mumbled with no extra swing in his hips at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Professor Gershem, who had been summoned by the head of the department, along with two other senior faculty members, to discuss a matter as yet to be disclosed, was the last person to enter the room, and the meeting commenced on his arrival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cSorry I\u2019m late,\u201d he apologized. \u201cMy students just wouldn\u2019t stop asking questions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cI thought you were a clinician, Ted,\u201d his colleague Alan Garret needled him. \u201cYou\u2019re supposed to ask the questions, not answer them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \u201cYou have a point there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cWell, now that we\u2019re all here,\u201d said Alvin Spurtz, \u201cI can tell you what this is all about and I don\u2019t want this discussion to leave the room. The department has been offered a rather substantial amount of money for research purposes. Actually, it\u2019s a government contract but we\u2019re not supposed to know that. The funding will be provided by a private foundation right here in New York, the Spuyten Duyvil Trust. They want us to do a study on the psychological aspects of the notions of good and evil. What do people think is good? What do they think is evil? And why?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cIsn\u2019t it all relative?\u201d Alan Garret asked. \u201cI mean we think eating other people is horrifying but a cannibal has an entirely different opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cExactly,\u201d said Spurtz. \u201cThe question is how do people acquire and maintain these conceptions, these perspectives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cThis sounds like anthropology,\u201d said Conrad Boardman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

             \u201cThat may be, \u201csaid Spurtz, \u201cbut we don\u2019t want the
anthropology department to get the grant, do we?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            They all laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cBut seriously,\u201d Spurtz continued, \u201c I think, with the aid of our many grad students, we can put together a report by the deadline.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cWhat\u2019s the deadline?\u201d Gershem asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c           It\u2019s the government,\u201d said Spurtz. \u201cWe could spend the rest of our lives working on this and even pass it on to our grandchildren.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cIn other words,\u201d said Boardman, \u201cthe deadline is when they bury us in the cold, cold ground.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cWell, that\u2019s one way to put it,\u201d Spurtz agreed enthusiastically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cTalk about a sinecure,\u201d Garret agreed. \u201cWhere to even begin?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            And so, under no particular pressure, they outlined a plan for their inquiry into the psychological origins of the nature of good and evil and left Spurtz\u2019s office on collegial terms with the assurance they would be equally rewarded for their efforts and might possibly aspire to some sort of award or other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            As they walked down the hall together toward the exit, Gershem and Garret considered the nuts and bolts of such a study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cYou must have had a few patients with strong opinions on the
subject, I mean paranoids and the like,\u201c said Garret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cNot nearly enough for a survey study. I think we\u2019re going to have to go to Bellevue or Pilgrim State or something like that for the kind of numbers we need. But then, why not just average people? You don\u2019t have to be nuts to have a take on good and evil.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cYou may have a point,\u201d said Garret equivocally. \u201cWhat\u2019s your take?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAre you calling me average?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Gershem walked out the door of the building thinking of his much younger Israeli wife who had deserted him as soon as she got her green card. He wondered what poor sap she was hustling now as he walked down the street to his apartment on West End Avenue. The large space, some six rooms, presented him with something he could never fill again so he only went into the kitchen and his  bedroom. Even the study with all his books had been abandoned to the maid\u2019s occasional feather dusting. It was too early to go to his favorite Chinese restaurant on Broadway so he sat down at the kitchen table and began writing notes on possible groups of people to interview for the new project. Religious people, of course, the more hardcore fundamentalist the better. Political extremists were definitely another fertile hotbed of material on the subject. And, of then again, there were conspiracy theorists who abounded on all sides of the political and religious spectra. As a psychologist he was not much interested in religion, though he had read quite a few books on its expression of unconscious forces, but it certainly was central to the notions of good and evil to which large numbers of people subscribed.
Politics was more about economics with a healthy dollop of jingoism, war-making technology, and unparalleled corruption to spice up the stew. Good and evil sat in the back of a shiny bus being driven by greed and the lust for power. Conspiracy theorists such as the patient who\u2019d written the note he\u2019d just read in class, on the other hand, came from the left, the right, the fervently religious, the atheists, and the completely deranged. There was no clear agenda and there were tens of millions of them lurking out there, flooding the Internet with their opinions and proofs. This wildly disparate group was the one Gershem decided to study. In retrospect, it might not have been the wisest choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            The first thing he would do was have his students scour the Internet for every conspiracy theory they could find. Then they would categorize and cross-reference them, since many seemed to overlap. After that, they would try and set up interviews with the various theorists. It all seemed so simple and logical at the time. What was in store, however, would not be so simple or logical at all. But innocent abroad Gershem did not know that yet and happily went off for supper at the appropriate time to King Wok Szechuan where the staff knew better than to serve him anything with monosodium glutamate which made him break out in a rash. Or so he claimed. No doctor had confirmed this allergy and one had even implied it was psychosomatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            While he was sitting eating his moo goo gai pan, he wondered what the Chinese conception of good and evil was, but he didn\u2019t know how to broach the subject with the professionally obsequious waiter. It was early and there were very few customers in the restaurant so Gershem decided to give it a shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cWo Chung, what do you think the difference between bad and good is?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            The waiter reacted with alarm. \u201cMoo goo gai pan<\/em> no good?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, no,\u201d Gershem reassured him. \u201cIt\u2019s very good. That\u2019s not really my question.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo? What you want?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cForget it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cYes, I will,\u201d Wo Chung nodded and smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Gershem decided the Chinese were too inscrutable to seriously
discuss good and evil. Or too smart to think about good and evil at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

             At loose ends after he\u2019d dined, he decided to walk south down Broadway to a local bar that he knew, the Stay Put Club, where the crowd was more or less his age and it was highly unlikely that he would run into any of his students. Wouldn\u2019t do to get caught quaffing a scotch and soda with a bunch of semi-inebriated regulars, most of whom knew him by name. It was, however, as good a place as any to poll the clientele on the nature of good and evil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Gershem went into the bar, took an available seat, was brought his drink without even ordering, and immediately confronted with an old
acquaintance, John Connelly, asking him, \u201cSay there, Ted, how about those Mets?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            The question, of course, was just a joke. Gershem decided to dig right in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cJohn, are you Catholic?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
