Описание: Victoria Reynolds had a great life: her rich parents gave her everything she wanted, she was the head cheerleader, and her boyfriend was the star quarterback. The most popular girls in their class, Tori and her friends ruled the school and tormented anyone who didn't live up to their standards. But when Tori realizes that she has a crush on another girl in her senior class, everything changes. Finding herself thrown out by her religious parents and ostracized by her friends, Victoria has to start her life from scratch while coming to terms with her identity. Can Victoria go from a spoiled rich girl to an independent young woman while learning to be true to her heart?

Описание: Imagine a small county where an hour's drive takes you from rural Amish country covered with grape vineyards through once-proud small towns now rampant with crime ending in an impoverished Native American Reservation. Imagine the plight of the law-abiding residents of the small towns suffering through having to pay for a metropolis 450 miles away as well as political tyrants failed policies. Imagine safe neighborhoods once full of beautiful, well-maintained homes becoming dilapidated ganglands. Imagine your children moving away to greener pastures and their places taken by thugs and druggies. Imagine the despair as the local economy dies while being smothered by astronomical taxes and unemployment as businesses fail or leave. Imagine having your Police vilified and defunded. Imagine trying to live your life the right way with morals and honor in a failing society. Imagine moving away from the failing towns to escape the crime and the smoldering ashes of a not so civil war being stirred to life. Imagine an unknown entity fanning those ashes into a raging fire, and your town, your county, your state, and your nation is at war with itself. Imagine being caught in the midst of unspeakable violence while just trying to get home to your family. Imagine having realized that something like this was coming, having prepared for it, despite being treated like a loser by the politically correct culture that caused this. Imagine leading a small band of like-minded armed patriots protecting friends and family in the face of daunting odds as the violence spreads to the rural areas. Imagine organizing a small community to be able to survive a harsh lake effect snow-filled winter while fending off marauding gangs. Inside these pages, you won't have to imagine.

Описание: In matters political, and not least during the present hailstorm of lies from our leaders concerning the origins of and political responsibility for the Coronavirus pandemic, I have often wondered whether somewhere there was a fool-proof way of knowing when something I see on TV or read in the papers is not true. A tool which tells me without having to dig deeper, that what I am hearing, seeing and reading cannot be true. My book, Lies our Leaders Tell Us: How Cultural Marxism Staged a Comeback-In the West is my attempt to come up with the tools to answer these questions. The first tool is Karl Popper s falsification test: if any one statement can be falsified, such as there are no black swans, when black swans have in fact been found in Australia, that statement cannot be based on fact. When WHO says publicly in a tweet dated January 14,2020, that there is no risk of human-to-human transmission and we know Taiwanese authorities told them the opposite in December 2019, we know WHO is lying. The second tool is that of the dismal science, economics, namely, to teach our reader to ask a simple question: compared to what? The Coronavirus pandemic is undoubtedly a serious health challenge for the West, but the risk of death is small for otherwise healthy individuals,34.000 Americans died of flu in the 2018-19 flu season and serious treatments are quite likely to be on hand shortly. The third tool, is that old police chestnut: cui bono? Who benefits from the lies? The short answer: our political leaders. Not just because they are covering up, like the WHO, but because our political elites in the West, as opposed to those of countries with few Coronavirus problems like Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore who all had learned from their 2003 experience with another bad flu, SARS, were woefully unprepared and slow to level with their populations. Lies Our Leaders Tell Us takes its readers on a non-fiction picaresque journey on A Ship of Fools. Like all picaresque stories from Henry Fielding s Tom Jones to Jack Kerouac s On the Road, the book is a story about growing up. Only the backdrop is not that of 18th century England or 1950s America, but the Western World of to-day, roughly defined as the U.S. and the EU, anno 2020. And the characters doing the journey are not fictional but us- the readers. We are the ones growing up. We set out on the Ship s journey with a vague feeling that something is not right. If so many of our leaders have to lie so much about so many things, there must be something they don t want us to know: The Truth. The book s narrative structure is the old classical Greek concept of a Ship of Fools, a metaphor for groupthink. At our Ship s every port of call, from that of Nationalism-is- the- root- of- all -evil to that of Implicit- racism -inflicts- all- of- us, this feeling takes on a firmer foundation. The chapters of the book take our reader through the main areas where he is being lied to by his leaders. Each chapter is structured the same way; first, it names the lie which is up for debate, then it presents quotes exemplifying the lie and after that the facts debunking the lie. At the end of the journey we know something is not right and now we know what it is: we live in an age of permanent adolescence, of half -truths and pseudo-science and fictions, whose main philosophy, that of Neo-Marxist Postmodernism, has moved from the fringes of the Universities Humanities Departments to main-stream in a matter of less than a decade. Postmodernism, in its political manifestations has taken over the main bastions of our culture since the Enlightenment, free speech, individual rights, civil right, human rights equality of opportunity and turned them into vehicles for undermining present day capitalist society in order to set up their preferred Marxist-inspired Socialist Utopia, the book argues. It may seem to the uninitiated as just a culture of constant teenage r

Описание: There is a gap between politicians and the general public. The current British political class is widely viewed as uniform in who they are, what they think, and how they behave. A more diverse pool of politicians would not only better reflect democratic principles of equality, but may even result in better political outcomes.
Start your healing journey to forgive or seek forgiveness--buoyed by spiritual and psychological insights and practical steps.
"We have both witnessed the power of forgiveness as well as the devastating sense of loss that comes from withholding forgiveness. We invite you to journey with us as we explore all the dimensions of forgiveness, learning how to apply this gift to yourself and your life, as well as using it to guide others toward a happier, more peaceful existence."
--from the Introduction
Everyone seeks forgiveness at some point in their lives--in families, from friends, in workplaces, in communities or from ourselves--but we often falter when we discover the practice takes more than simply saying or hearing "I forgive you."
In this dynamic look at the process of forgiveness, conflict resolution experts Myra Warren Isenhart and Michael Spangle look at what is really keeping you from forgiving or seeking forgiveness. In addition to focusing on the soulful benefits of forgiveness, they also draw on insights from many fields--communication, psychology, counseling and theology, as well as their own original research--to explore the mental and emotional barriers in your path.
Learn how to:
Make distinctions between forgiveness, apology and reconciliation
Identify the conditions that make reconciliation appropriate or inappropriate
Understand the elements of an effective apology
Extend forgiveness to yourself
Assist others in their own forgiveness journey

A sense of order has irreversibly retreated at the turn of the twenty-first century with the rise of such ancient civilizations as China and India and the militant resurgence of Islamic groups. The United States and like-minded states want to maintain the once-dominant international and global order buttressed by a set of mainly Western value systems and institutions. Nevertheless, challengers have sought to redraw the international and global order according to their own ideas and preferences, while selectively accommodating and taking advantage of the established order. Because of this, the entire world is teetering on the brink of an order war.
This book is a synthesis of two separate bodies of thoughts, from Western and East Asian ideas and philosophies respectively. The authors deploy the major ideas of key Western and East Asian thinkers to shed a new light on their usefulness in understanding the transition of global order. They locate new ideas to overcome the contradictions of the late modern world and provide some ideational building blocks of a new global order. The new concepts proposed are: recognition between the great civilizations; a harmony and floating balance between and within contrasts--individual versus community, freedom versus equality--;and mediation between friends and foes. As the former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin put it, "you don't need to make peace with your friends, you have to make peace with your foes." The values of the West as well as that of the East cannot survive in a globalized world by taking them as absolute, but only by balancing them to those of the other great civilizations of the world.

Apart from superior military power, close coordination between the political leadership and the military and the ability to take quick decisions, China has potent anti-satellite and cyber warfare capabilities. Even more shockingly, regardless of popular opinion, India today is not even in a position to win a war against Pakistan. This has nothing to do with Pakistan's nuclear weapons. It is beca
