Close Up Radio to Highlight Jose Marcelo Baqueroalvarez of Half Life Crisis

Chesapeake, VA - The author known as J. Marcelo Baqueroalvarez, has at times been called Marcelo Baquero or even BeeZee, the nickname for his Blog, known as Half Life Crisis.

Marcelo was born in Ecuador and came to the US in 1995, living in Florida. He owned a business with other members of his family dedicated to video and web production, and his degree was in commercial art and video production. In his 20s he was persuaded by those slick ad promises to join the Navy but was not initially assigned to the kind of unit he aspired to.

One day while on leave, Marcelo saw his true self reflected in the eyes of his old friends, and that’s when the realization that we are not truly living life to our fullest struck him. When he launched his website and blog, it was an effort to give voice to his own little rants, and to talk about things like music and art again, as well as create a platform for the work of his daughter, Samantha. She has used tools like abstract painting and black and white photography to voice the thoughts going on in her head, because she has a nonverbal form of Autism.

Marcelo has put his various thoughts into book-length manuscripts too, and on the radio show, he is going to talk about them. His debut book Authoritarianism & Propaganda: The Puppet Master Tools examines authoritarians from the Bolshevik Revolution to modern times.

Far from giving away Naval or Government secrets, Marcelo simply tells us all to take a closer look at what we have seen going on in the world these past few years.

“I get an opportunity to speak to the world and express what I find most interesting or relevant”
