The code of silence can have different meanings depending on the bikers following it. But at the very core, it requires them to keep their lips shut.
It makes sense for outlaw motorcycle clubs to abide by this kind of rule. However, other groups instill similar codes into their regular business activities.
Join us as we roll down the road to discover what the code of silence is for bikers.
Let’s hit it!
What Exactly is the Bikers Code of Silence?
Bikers in motorcycle clubs, or MCs, back each other like brothers. The code of silence refers to remaining quiet about activities involving the group. It could be anything from specific rules or daily MC business to illegal acts. Just like Fight Club, you don’t talk to others about what goes on among your ranks.
And when members of the law confront bikers, that’s the most crucial time to enact the code of silence. The phrase, “Snitches get stitches,” is the least of what could happen if you have loose lips!
A similar rule, originating in Sicily, Italy, seems to be the basis for this MC law. The Italian Mafia followed the code of omertà, which required members to remain silent and not divulge information to outsiders. Unsurprisingly, biker gangs adopted this as a mandate among their members.
Why is the Code of Silence So Important?
Loyalty to the MC and fellow members is of the utmost importance. Being part of such a tight-knit group, you’re expected to maintain allegiance at all times. Even if the club doesn’t involve itself in illegal activities, your silence about insider business to outsiders is still mandatory.
However, if a fellow member breaks the law, don’t bring it up in a meeting. The code of silence means you keep that information to yourself. Or just among a few other bikers in the know.
What Happens If a Biker Breaks the Code of Silence?
If you’re caught disobeying the code of silence, you face any number of disciplinary actions. For example, you might need to remove one or more patches from your jacket. If the club sees fit, you could lose the right to display the primary MC logo.
It’s possible you could also lose riding privileges for a certain amount of time. Imagine being a competent biker restricted from using your motorcycle or joining fellow members on a trip.
Of course, the harshest punishment of breaking the biker code of silence could result in expulsion from the MC or worse. Depending upon the details regarding the information shared and who received it, a member could lose their life. Outlaw motorcycle gangs often have no mercy regarding someone within the group snitching on their brothers.
Do All Bikers Follow the Code of Silence?
The code of silence is a rule many MCs incorporate into their bylaws. However, it’s not just outlaw biker gangs that require members to keep their lips tight.
In fact, many Christian motorcycle clubs utilize this law even though they remain on the up and up. One thing you must agree to when joining one of these MCs is that you won’t do illegal acts. But they still want you to keep the group’s information private for the most part.
Interestingly, the Iron Order Motorcycle Club doesn’t have a rule regarding secrecy. Many members are active or former military and law enforcement personnel. And they’ll often work with the police on legal matters.
Is the Code of Silence the Only Rule Bikers Follow?
Not by a long shot! You might think bikers, whether outlaw or law-abiding, are freewheeling spirits who don’t follow many rules. But that would be incorrect. It might surprise you to learn all the various codes of conduct the MCs expect their members to adhere to.
For example, most motorcycle clubs have strict guidelines regarding patches. So while it may seem like the emblems adorning leather vests are decoration, the reality is quite different.
Every MC has a unique three-piece logo members wear prominently for others to see. Many times, they’re on the back of jackets or vests. Club rules often require bikers to display their patches, especially when traveling together.
Other codes they follow include always backing their brothers, riding in formation, and showing respect. And, not surprisingly, caring for and honoring the precious bike is of utmost importance.
While on the topic of motorcycles, certain groups like the Hells Angels require their members to only ride Harley Davidsons. There’s no mistaking them when you hear a Harley. Their tell-tale rumble makes their presence known a half mile away.
So, yes, most, if not all, riders who are part of a club have a variety of rules they need to follow. And the discipline for not abiding by them will vary in degree of severity. Depending on the type of MC it happens to be, members can face any number of punishments.
Other Groups That Live By a Code of Silence
As we mentioned earlier, Mafia groups follow the code of omertà. This rule of silence forms the foundation of mob ethics. For example, it’s never OK for anyone in the family to talk to the police about anything. Doing so could result in serious violence or even death.
Members of Mexican cartels and residents of the cities they operate in also follow codes of silence. It’s not surprising that groups dealing in illegal activities wouldn’t talk to the media or law enforcement.
However, average citizens also remain quiet too. For example, in Badiraguato, Mexico, home of drug lord El Chapo, residents keep their lips tight. There’s too much at stake otherwise.
Death threats against individuals, including their families, who talk to authorities about cartel business are common. And the locals also don’t want to jeopardize the money and community support cartel leaders provide.
While this last example is controversial, some police officers in the US also follow an informal code of silence. Speaking out against a colleague’s errors, misconduct, or crimes is something particular cops won’t do. However, if they share nefarious activities with their higher-ups, other officers will consider them whistleblowers.
So it’s not just bikers who follow a code of silence. For a variety of reasons, many groups around the world abide by similar guidelines.
Remember, Snitches Get Stitches
While the code of silence isn’t always to protect the criminal activities of bikers, it often is used for that purpose. But as we discovered, even law-abiding Christian MCs adhere to this rule.
Of course, depending on the nature of the club, this guideline will mean different things. But, at the most basic, it just requires members to not talk about club business to outsiders.

When searching the top leadership books of today, words like war, laws, and power appear slightly aggressively across covers. And, it doesn't take long to notice that those books are predominantly written by white men. While that fact certainly does not invalidate the valuable lessons for leaders within those pages, aren’t we certainly missing perspectives and contributions from leaders with additional challenges to overcome? Aren’t we missing the full picture of what leadership in the 21st century looks like?
Untapped Leadership examines strategies, capabilities, and contributions from leaders of color and marginalized backgrounds from all walks of life and career stages. Highlighting diverse stories and strategies, this groundbreaking book reveals a different kind of leadership, one that requires an advanced understanding of situational awareness, organizational dynamics, and sound decision-making. Far from being a book only for leaders of color, Untapped Leadership shows that the lessons grounded in BIPOC leadership are lessons for anyone and everyone looking to bring a more nuanced and contextual perspective towards navigating life and career – from readers beginning their leadership journeys to those fortunate to lead teams and organizations through complex and fast-changing environments.
For the past two decades, author Dr. Jenny Vazquez-Newsum has designed and delivered leadership training for hundreds of diverse leaders, from established executives at large corporations to high school students beginning their leadership journeys. Untapped Leadership is the first step towards moving beyond behavioral or situational leadership models towards a more inclusive and impactful model of contextual leadership by expanding the discourse to include and value marginalized perspectives.
Jenny Vazquez-Newsum, Ed.D., is a facilitator, researcher, and educator with a long-time interest in leadership. As a biracial Black/Latinx woman, the leadership journey has been bumpy, stimulating, challenging, and a life's work. For the past two decades, Vazquez-Newsum has designed and delivered leadership training for hundreds of diverse leaders, from established executives at large corporations to high school students beginning their leadership journeys. She currently serves as the Founder and CEO of Untapped Leaders, a dynamic and diverse leadership community and consultancy specializing in uncovering the untapped capacities of individuals, teams, and organizations. Vazquez-Newsum has served on the Santa Monica Commission on the Status of Women and was an Advisory Committee Member for the Scripps College Laspa Leadership Center. She lives in Santa Monica, California.
“For anyone who is committed to inclusive leadership and building thriving and diverse organizations, this book is essential reading. Vazquez-Newsum offers critical perspectives from leaders of color too long overlooked in the field. Blending real leader experiences with tangible tools for all to learn from, Untapped Leadership should be on every leader's bookshelf.” – Deanna Singh, author of Actions Speak Louder: A Step-by-Step Guide to Becoming an Inclusive Workplace
“As a black woman in a leadership role, I have taken many courses and read several books on being an effective leader while aiming to remain true to my authentic self. However, I often found myself not truly connecting to the material presented. Untapped Leadership does an amazing job on delving into the BIPOC leader and the idiosyncrasies of leadership as a person of color.”– Jaccara Cadet Smith, Managing Director, Ernst and Young, LLP
“Untapped Leadership is a refreshing and powerful take on why we must rethink leadership. Readers will appreciate Vazquez-Newsum’s ability to speak truth to power and name how race, gender, and other social identities can strengthen our understanding and enactment of leadership. Untapped Leadership is a must-read for anyone seeking to lead in more effective, humanizing, and socially just ways.”– Dr. Bianca Baldridge, Associate Professor of Education, Harvard Graduate School of Education, Author of Reclaiming Community: Race and the Uncertain Future of Youth Work
“Vazquez-Newsum’s pioneering work to bring visibility to BIPOC leadership is long overdue. The amplification of BIPOC leaders has been a void for far too long. We cannot build competencies that drive inclusive behaviors and outcomes within a field that is exclusive.”– Natalie Samarjian,President and CEO, Coro Southern California; Commissioner, City of Los Angeles
"I finished reading the book while in Baltimore. I felt seen. I felt understood. I was reading the words from the little voice in my head. It’s always been our moment, but Untapped Leadership makes it plain that BIPOC leaders are the future. We are what’s needed today, tomorrow, and always. We are the (secret) sauce for leadership reimagined." – Dr. Nomsa Khalfani, Co-CEO/Chief Strategy + Equity Officer, Essential Access Health
"Untapped Leadership must take space on every leader's bookshelf. It is unequivocally the book that leaders of color have been waiting for that see us as who we are. Vazquez -Newsum explores the beauty and challenges of leaders of color like no other leadership expert with unapologetic honesty. It was truly powerful and affirming to read." – Reena Hajat Carroll, MSW, Executive Director, California Conference for Equality and Justice (CCEJ)
“In Untapped Leadership, the marginalized and woefully underutilized voices of BIPOC leaders find a platform to tell their stories of learning, navigating, negotiating, and transcending workplaces that are fundamentally antithetical to their own viewpoints on leadership, which center authenticity and collectivity. But beyond the power of this groundbreaking take on leadership, she creates a space for you to feel heard and seen, and that in and of itself acts as its own form of transformational healing.”– Corey Matthews, Coaching Transitions, LLC, and Vice President, Global Philanthropy, JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Oct 10 (Reuters) - Former General Motors Co Vice Chairman Robert Lutz has joined the board of a steel materials design company in which the U.S. automaker has invested, NanoSteel Co Inc said on Wednesday.
Privately held NanoSteel has created a technology for the manufacture of a new class of high-strength steel that it hopes to eventually license to steelmakers for use in the auto industry.
NanoSteel's "approach has the potential to offer the most natural progression for automakers to stick with their most trusted material - steel - and at the same time enjoy exceptional properties that support the design of next generation fuel efficient vehicles," Lutz said in a company statement.
In August, GM's venture capital arm invested an undisclosed amount in NanoSteel as a way to tap into the company's new steel alloy technology.
"Over the next several years, light-weighting of vehicles will be a major focus area to improve fuel economy," GM Chief Technology Officer and head of GM Ventures said at the time of the investment. "NanoSteel's nano-structured alloys offer unique material characteristics that are not available today, making them a potential game-changer."
The lead investors in Providence, Rhode Island-based NanoSteel include EnerTech Capital and Fairhaven Capital Partners.

Impacts of Traffic Management 2014
Knowledge about the impacts of traffic management is useful and necessary, both for policy making as for the operations in a traffic control centre. For example on a strategic level this knowledge is used to consider and assess investment alternatives and on an operational level it is used to tune and improve traffic control scenarios. In The Netherlands a lot of attention has been paid to the evaluation of traffic management measures. Since 2008 an overview exists in which the results of all evaluation studies in The Netherlands are summarised. Recently TrafficQuest has updated this summary with the latest studies and now 180 studies are included. These studies are referenced in this list and the results are given in this overview (in Dutch).
Organisation of Traffic Management
The organisation of traffic management is defined as the assignment, the interpretation, the realisation and the harmonization of the tasks, responsibilities and qualifications of the different stakeholders involved in the policy or operational aspects of traffic management. Often it is a neglected part of traffic management, but in our view a very important one. In this state of the art document (only available in Dutch) we discuss the traffic management process and the organisation of traffic information. Also incident management is described, as an important topic within traffic management, but with a specific organisational structure. The report describes all these aspects and the different stakeholders involved.
Workshop Urban Traffic Management
On July 2nd, 2014 TrafficQuest organised a workshop in which representatives from municipalities, joint ventures and knowledge institutes participated and discussed together about urban trends and the role of traffic management now and in the future. Topic of discussion were the characteristics of urban traffic and urban mobility. What is so special about urban traffic, why is it so complex and what are the differences with motorway traffic? From this starting point several issues were raised that are typical for the current situation as well as the expected developments. These issues were clustered into social-urban problems, urban trends, technological trends and problems that appear when solutions are implemented.
Verkeer in Nederland 2014
TrafficQuest streeft er naar regelmatig een actueel beeld te geven van wat er gaande is in de wereld van verkeersmanagement en verkeersinformatie. De State-of-the-Art achtergronddocumenten spelen daarbij een belangrijke rol, want deze bestrijken een breed scala aan VMI gerelateerde onderwerpen. Echter, ze zijn gedetailleerd en sterk inhoudelijk en ze worden niet regelmatig geactualiseerd. Daarom heeft TrafficQuest besloten elk jaar een rapportage uit te brengen waarin de stand van zaken op het vlak van verkeersmanagement en verkeersinformatie wordt weergegeven. Het jaarbericht voor 2014 is nu uitgebracht en wordt binnenkort verstuurd met NM magazine.

Used To Go To Church is a work that percolated for many years in my heart and writing the book served as a cathartic exercise after years of responding to heart breaking scenes of tragic loss. On July 28, Used To Go To Church will be available to purchase on Amazon. This is a book for every human being who has faith, whether a faith smaller than a poppy seed or the size of earth itself. It is especially written for those who believe, those who used to go to church or those who struggle with organized religion (who doesn't, right?). First responders will also relate to the struggles of faith I myself experienced.
The book takes the reader on the journey of a first responder chaplain over many years of being inserted into the lives of those who suffer loss and who attempt to make sense of their grief. Even if you go to church, Used To Go To Church will open your heart and mind to the realities of jagged faith which isn't always as smooth as we would like it to be. For every one of you who go to church, you are surrounded by hundreds in your neighborhoods who used to go to church and who want nothing to do with church but who believe in God. They could use a friend like you to tell them about this book which might open their soul to a grace never learned.

The fumes that waft from top-selling air fresheners and laundry products contain dozens of chemicals, including several classified as toxic or hazardous, according to a University of Washington study published today.
The fumes that waft from top-selling air fresheners and laundry products contain dozens of chemicals, including several classified as toxic or hazardous, says a University of Washington study published today.
None of the chemicals was listed on product labels, nor does the federal government require companies to disclose ingredients in fragrances, said study author Anne Steinemann.
“I was surprised by both the number and the potential toxicity of the chemicals that were found,” said Steinemann, a professor of civil and environmental engineering and public affairs.
The health effects of the chemicals are unclear, but Steinemann launched her analysis after years of fielding complaints from people who said air fresheners and other household products made them dizzy, left them short of breath or caused headaches, seizures or asthma attacks.

“After you hear about a hundred of these stories, you realize there’s something going on,” she said.
The report is the latest in a string of unsavory news reports about consumer products, from the presence of lead in children’s toys to the discovery of hormone-disrupting compounds in plastics and baby lotions.
Steinemann’s study focused on six widely used products: dryer sheets, fabric softener, laundry detergent, a liquid spray air freshener, a plug-in air freshener, and a solid disc deodorizer used in commercial-airplane toilets. A contract laboratory sealed each product inside a container, then used two types of instruments to identify chemicals emitted into the air.
Collectively, the six products gave off nearly 100 volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including acetone — the eye-stinging ingredient in nail-polish remover and paint thinner. (VOCs are compounds that vaporize easily, like paint and gasoline fumes. Many VOCs are know to be harmful.)
The study didn’t report the levels of individual chemicals, but all six of the products emitted at least one substance the federal government classifies as toxic or hazardous.
Among them are three chemicals the Environmental Protection Agency considers “hazardous air pollutants” with no safe exposure levels: acetaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane, both likely human carcinogens; and methyl chloride, which has been linked to liver, kidney and nervous-system damage in animals.
A spokeswoman for the Fragrance Materials Association of the United States, an industry group, said all ingredients are tested for safety and the results reviewed by independent scientists.
“We are certain that, when used in compliance with standards, these fragrance ingredients are safe and can be used … with confidence,” Cathy Cook said in a written statement.
For most healthy adults, slight exposure to toxic or hazardous chemicals is probably not much of a health concern, said Lance Wallace, a retired EPA scientist who is collaborating with Steinemann. But up to 30 percent of people are sensitive to perfumes and other fragrances, he pointed out.
Studies in Denmark and the U.S. have confirmed that even healthy male college students report headaches, eye irritation and other effects when exposed to a mix of volatile organic compounds.
When Steinemann and a colleague surveyed more than 2,000 people in 2004 and 2005, they found 20 percent were in some way sickened by air fresheners. For those with asthma, the figures were nearly twice as high: Up to 37 percent reported headaches or trouble breathing.
Studies conducted by the industry-funded Research Institute for Fragrance Materials have generally reported few health effects.
Children are more sensitive to chemical exposure than adults, said Steve Gilbert, founder of Toxipedia.org, a clearinghouse on toxic chemicals. And people are usually exposed to a stew of substances, which may interact in unknown ways.
“At the very minimum, we should have a right to know what is in these products,” said Gilbert, a Seattle toxicologist who was not involved in the study.
Manufacturers are not required to list the ingredients used in air fresheners, laundry products or most other consumer products, Steinemann said in her study, published in the journal Environmental Impact Assessment Review.
“There needs to be more testing of these products and greater disclosure … so that people know what they’re being exposed to,” she said.
Steinemann wouldn’t name the specific products tested, partly out of fear of industry lawsuits. She also said it would be unfair to single out specific companies at this point. A larger analysis, which looked at 25 different products, found many other brands contain similar chemicals. The second study is under review and will be published next year.
Her advice for people who want to reduce their exposure is to avoid use of air fresheners and buy fragrance-free laundry products.
But even that’s no guarantee, she pointed out. Some products marketed as “unscented” or “fragrance-free” actually contain the same chemicals as scented products — with the addition of a “masking fragrance” that cancels out the smell.
And many products labeled “natural” or “organic” also contain some of the same chemicals.

Washington’s gray wolf population remains stable
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 8, 2014
Contact: Suzanne Stone, Defenders of Wildlife; firstname.lastname@example.org; (208) 861-4655
SEATTLE – Today, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) released the official annual count for gray wolves living in Washington state; this year’s count tallied 52 wolves, an increase of one individual from the 2012 year-end population. The count also tallied five successful breeding pairs, the same number reported in the 2012 annual count.
Wolves in eastern Washington were federally delisted a few years ago, but they are still protected under state endangered species laws and managed by WDFW statewide.
Suzanne Stone with Defenders of Wildlife issued the following statement:
“The stability of Washington’s wolf population is good news, but the population is still incredibly vulnerable during these early stages of recovery in Washington and wolves have a long way still to go. It’s critical that Washington state wildlife officials focus on sustainable management strategies designed to encourage human and wolf coexistence and resist weakening important safeguards for recovering wolf packs in the state.
“We hope Washington is observing the tragic example being set in Idaho, where wolves are treated like vermin, and does not allow these anti-wolf attitudes to slide across the border and influence Washington wolf management policies.”

The Enfield Town Board’s adoption of a town law regulating wind turbines drew praise today from an advocate of regulation but a pledge to hope the measure is undone from the developer who has proposed a wind farm on a hilltop in the town.
The town board adopted the measure requiring certain setbacks from adjoining property and other features on Thursday evening. John Rancinch, who has proposed an array of wind farms on a hilltop on Black Oak Road, said the law will block his proposal and probably any other. Rancinch said Friday he plans to wait and see and hope the incoming Town Board, which will have newly elected members taking office in January, will repeal the ordinance and revise it.
Rancinch contends the final version of the ordinance, though in the works in the town since early in the year, was rushed through at the last minute and was improperly adopted. “I believe this law will not hold up.” At a hearing on the law Dec. 17, the majority of town residents who spoke were against the law he said.
Bruce Varner, a town resident who has supported town regulation of the wind mill plan, dismissed the rushed-through contention, noting that the town planning board has been working on the law for perhaps 10 months or more. He said the law will not make building wind farms impossible in the town and that there are viable sites elsewhere in Enfield for Rancich’s plan, but that the measure provides needed regulation to ensure they are sited to keep them safe should they fail. He said debris from a failed turbine can scatter widely from a turbine.
“I think it’s a good law,” Varner said in an interview. People living near wind turbines “want to be safe from debris scatter in case of an accident.”
The law requires setbacks of 1,250 feet from property lines, communication and electrical lines, transmission facilities such as substations, inhabited or inhabitable structures, public roads, Robert Treman State Park, neighboring municipalities and county lines, and property lines of a school, church or nursing facility.
Town Supervisor Jean Owens, whose term ends when a newly elected Supervisor Frank Podufalski and four new town board members take office Jan. 1, said she would recommend the new board revisit the law because she believes it was not adopted correctly under town procedural law and may not withstand a court challenge. Specifically, changes approved Thursday are substantial enough that they should have been presented to the public in a hearing first, Owens said.
Rancich has proposed to build 10-15 turbines on a site of mostly leased land at the southern end of Black Oak Road. Payments would be made to the town. Some environmental groups both in Enfield and beyond have praised the plan as a way to generate electricity without using fossil fuels, while others in the town have raised concerns about safety, noise and aesthetics on the landscape.

Editor’s note: This review originally was posted April 4, 2014.
‘The Winter Soldier’ a thrilling blend of tension, action
The appeal of “Captain America: The First Avenger” rested nearly entirely with our victim-turned-virtuous-hero Steve Rogers. In him, we found a man who longed to make the world a better place, who truly appreciated the great powers he was given and, more than anything, appreciated his own humanity. “A kid from Brooklyn,” he called himself, as he faced the greatest threat the world had ever known. It’s hard not to idolize the man.
In “The Winter Soldier,” the fantastically action-filled sequel and next installment in the Marvel universe until “Age of Ultron” comes out in the summer of 2015, we grapple with similar internal dilemmas, nail-biting geopolitical drama and the moral grayness that surrounds the struggle between being safe and being free. And while we may miss some of the earnest pulp that made its predecessor so enjoyable, “The Winter Soldier” has its own strengths. With thrills galore, good and bad guys readily marked, solid acting, a bit of humor, a multitude of plot twists (you’ll see most of them coming, I promise) and little in the way of complexity, the movie doesn’t disappoint.
“The Winter Soldier’s” story takes place several years after “The First Avenger,” with Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) aka Captain America still acclimating to a new world after spending 70-something years in cryostatis. Most of his free time is learning about the Internet and being the most athletic 94-year-old man alive.
It doesn’t take long, though, for SHIELD head honcho Nick Fury (an eye-patch-wearing Samuel L. Jackson) to assign Rogers a new mission: This time around, he’s to reclaim a SHIELD ship overrun by hostage-taking pirates.
Captain America, with all the grace of a bulldozing elephant, rages fury on anything moving on the ship, with his partner Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) continuing to be a terrifyingly effective assassin. But she’s been assigned to this rescue operation for more than just providing backup. Fury has tasked her with securing encrypted data from the ship’s database. It seems Fury has discovered a decades-long conspiracy from the Captain’s past, threatening both SHIELD and the world itself. It seems SHIELD has been compromised at its highest levels, and you know what they say about cutting off one head of a Hydra…
To go any further would deprive you of the few twists the movie throws at you. (Though, chances are you’ve already hear/watched the more interesting tidbits by now.)
Joining the Captain in this high-octane adventure is Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie), a former Afghan War vet who remains loyal to the Captain’s cause throughout; SHIELD agent Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders), a small but important role; and Fury’s boss, Alexander Pierce (Robert Redford).
And while all these new relationships aid (or detract from) the Captain’s mission, it’s seeing a face from the past that plays the most crucial role in what’s to come.
Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo (“Community”), brothers known for their TV comedies, “The Winter Soldier” cleverly delves into the political zeitgeist, highlighting fears shared by all political persuasions. The Captain is no longer the underdog, the earnest 90-pound asthmatic we so eagerly rooted for in “The First Avenger.” His views on morality and the world itself, so black-and-white, fail to alert them to world of today, where we prides ourselves in our infinite shades of gray. He hasn’t found where he belongs yet.
Themes we find ourselves struggling with today — the surveillance state, government reach into our personal data — seep into every pore of this movie. It’s a darker take on a world in fear than most Marvel movies, which only adds more intrigue to the dilemma of the movie’s core question: Just how much freedom do you surrender for the price of security?
Providing yet another strong portrayal of an honorable man in a less-than-so world, Evans is solid as the All-American symbol of heroism. And it should go without saying that Johansson and Jackson portray their roles with ease and talent. Redford’s addition to the movie adds a touch of the 1970s conspiracy films he’s known for. But it’s Mackie’s rendition of Sam Wilson (the fanboys will call him by a different name) you steals the show, with quip and easy humor in each of his scenes.
The movie’s gem, though, is its action sequences. Beautifully choreographed and well-edited, they’re fluid and engaging. Combined with a thoughtful script, the directing brothers showed they have a penchant for more than just TV comedy. (There are plenty of moments of humor, too, mostly lampooning the Captain’s age.)
In the end, “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” is far better than it had any right to be. A superhero movie that focuses on the inner turmoil of a man “out of time,” “A Winter Soldier” is suspenseful, clever, moody and even a bit sad. It pulls no punches in reaching a new level of excellence in the superhero genre. It may not convert those who don’t partake in the genre’s lore, but the story’s not for them. It’s for the Captain, who comes to view the new world with wary eyes. I hate to say it, but it’s about time.
P.S.: Stick around until the VERY end of the credits. Two extra scenes will reward your patience.
Four soul-searching stars out of five, and a critic’s pick.

The previous Canadian ambassador to China says he sympathizes with Michael Kovrig, the previous Canadian diplomat detained in China, as a result of the Chinese language interrogation course of is “very harsh.”
Kovrig was detained on Dec. 10, in accordance with his present employer, Worldwide Disaster Group (ICG). The arrest got here 10 days after Chinese language businessperson Meng Wanzhou was arrested in Canada to face extradition to the U.S.
The state-run Beijing Information mentioned the “related” authorities departments instructed them Kovrig was “legally censored” and was suspected of endangering China’s nationwide safety.
WATCH: Who’s former Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig?
Man Saint-Jacques was Canada’s ambassador to China between 2012 and 2016, when Kovrig was working for the embassy.
He mentioned the timing of the arrest isn’t a coincidence and it’s possible the Chinese language will cost Kovrig with espionage.
Kovrig was doing respectable political reporting, together with in-depth evaluation on Chinese language affairs, and travelled round China to talk with many individuals, together with dissidents, Saint-Jacques mentioned.
“This doesn’t represent as spying, however within the eyes of the Chinese language, as quickly as you begin to have a look at a few of their delicate information… it’s very straightforward that they are saying you might be mingling of their affairs,” Saint-Jacques instructed International Information.
“It’s a part of the Chinese language techniques to place stress on the Canadian authorities. They couldn’t go after a diplomat as a result of diplomats have diplomatic immunity, however this man is as shut as they may get, and clearly, there’s no coincidence there in my opinion.”
WATCH: Canada’s former ambassador explains why China could have detained Canadian Michael Kovrig
Saint-Jacques was ambassador throughout the same case – when a Canadian couple was detained after a special Chinese language businessperson was arrested in Canada.
Julia and Kevin Garratt have been arrested in 2014; whereas Julia was launched six months later, Kevin was charged with espionage and spent two years in jail in China.
Saint-Jacques mentioned whereas Kevin Garratt was detained, he confronted harsh circumstances – and that Kovrig can anticipate the identical.
“He will likely be sleep disadvantaged, and they’ll simply attempt to pressure him to admit — they attempt to break folks, that’s what occurred to Kevin Garratt sadly,” the previous ambassador mentioned.
“I’ve loads of sympathy for Michael as a result of I do know what he’s going by means of and I do know what he will likely be going by means of within the subsequent few months.”
Kovrig hasn’t been charged, however Saint-Jacques mentioned that’s regular for Chinese language procedures.
It might take as much as six months for the “fact-finding, interrogation part,” he mentioned, noting that the individual in query would proceed to be detained, and get in touch with between Canadian officers and the detained individual might be restricted.
Then the detained individual could be formally charged and arrested. As soon as charged, the method that results in the precise trial would unfold over a interval of six to eight months.
“Within the Chinese language system, as soon as an individual is charged, in 99.9 per cent of the circumstances, you might be discovered responsible, in order that’s why the Canadian authorities has to intervene as early as doable to attempt to impress on the Chinese language that this might trigger main harm to the bilateral relationship,” he mentioned.
Joanna Chiu, a Canadian journalist who’s labored in China and with Kovrig, says he’s a cheerful one that likes old style issues like swing music.
In an editorial within the Toronto Star, she urges Canadians to concentrate to Kovrig’s case – saying the detention of researchers and human rights activists occurs too usually in China.
“My first response was … possibly he was detained briefly and folks are simply making a huge deal out it,” she instructed International Information, saying the gravity of the scenario didn’t sink in till later.
“It may be very critical, he might be not heard from for a very long time, as we’ve seen in earlier circumstances the place foreigners get taken in and it turns into to China, some kind of nationwide safety concern.”
“There is a lot of uncertainty and a lot of nervousness,” Chiu mentioned.
WATCH: No rationalization for ex-Canadian diplomat’s arrest in Canada
For his or her half, Chinese language officers wouldn’t touch upon Kovrig’s scenario, however as a substitute instructed his employer, the Worldwide Disaster Group, was working within the nation illegally as a result of it wasn’t registered with the federal government.
Chiu mentioned this regulation solely got here into impact in 2017, and that it was regular that the ICG hadn’t but registered.
Canadian officers mentioned Tuesday they have been working with the Chinese language authorities about Kovrig’s case.
“We’re in direct contact with Chinese language diplomats and representatives,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau mentioned on his approach into query interval. “We’re engaged on the file, which we take very severely. We’re offering consular help to the household.”
