Butin
This book exposes the evolution of Russia's Fourth Reich. In politics, truth is often buried in an avalanche of propaganda lies, but according to Russian doctrine, each propaganda lie must contain 5% truth to make the lie believable. Here, we can reconstruct the truth from thousands of Russian lies on the World Wide Net because each lie has a smidgeon of truth, and lies change, but the truth within them does not.​Today, Russia is doing to Ukraine exactly what Hitler did Ukraine for the same reason. A fascist land grab for the historical glory of the dictator. Russian propaganda refers to Ukrainians as Nazis, but in reality, Russian invaders are the Nazis. Russia's conquest of Ukraine was far more sinister than an ordinary colonial land grab and enslavement of its people. Russia usurped Ukraine's heritage and history as its own, relegating the country to the oblivion of anonymity.

Birth Permit
During the last century, China introduced a strict family planning policy of one couple/one child in an attempt to reduce the population from 1.3 billion to 700 million. The policy was designed to increase the wealth and modernization of the country, as the government believed that citizens, particularly peasants, became more and more poor the more children they had and it cost the Communist state more to support them. However, in practice, this resulted in the brutality of forced abortions (even late on in pregnancy) and sterilization, as well as the compulsory insertion of a 'birth control ring' to prevent further pregnancies after the first child. If a couple did have a second child without a 'birth permit' they were persecuted and shunned from society. Peasants were particularly penalised whilst there was widespread corruption and hypocrisy amongst senior officials where bribery could be used to buy anything, including extra 'birth permits'. The family planning policy has filled Chinese society with hatred, as people blame the relatively surplus population for their poverty and the country's poverty.

"Merlor" is a campy satire about the struggle for survival that pits Merlor, Lord of Chaos, against his secret twin brother Merlin, Lord of Order. Merlor and his pals, Ragnor, Lord of Dragons, Merlissa, the Rogue Warriors, Elves, Wyverns, Necromancers, and Wizards, choose to end the struggle rather than submit. Merlor invites all his patriotic warriors to travel with him to Chaos V, a hidden planet in the Pleiades star cluster with five moons. Here, each of the clans set up their own republic of self-rule with the purpose of enjoying Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. They would never return to the Earth leaving it to the politicians, bureaucrats, globalists, dictators, rulers and all their useful idiots.
Passages of Rebellion
Passages of Rebellion is a work of historical and political fiction that takes place, for the most part, in Minneapolis during the years, 1967-1970. The focus is on the anti-war and anti-draft activities of the protagonist, Frank Goodman. Moving back and forth in time, the novel follows Goodman in his interactions with his fellow draft resisters and his engagement with a variety of other characters - Mary Browne, his wife and fellow grad student in American Studies at the University of Minnesota, and a mysterious member of a group responsible for the bombing of the Army Math Center at the University of Wisconsin in late August of 1970. The novel also flashes forward in time to highlight the radical feminism of Ruth Browne, Mary's daughter, as she moves from her life in Michigan as the director of a Woman's Shelter to graduate school at the University of Toronto. A confrontation between Ruth and Frank at his bookstore in Toronto, The Rebel, leads to a surprising revelation and resonances to present-day Minneapolis. Using a variety of passages from the works of Albert Camus, James Baldwin, and Andrea Dworkin, among others, the novel explores questions of violence, from the international to the domestic sphere. Threaded throughout the text are other philosophical and literary references, including to Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring. In effect, Passages of Rebellion investigates the meanings of rebellion found not only in numerous political, philosophical, and literary writings, but also in the very acts of resistance undertaken by the characters in the novel.

Dead Souls
Dead Souls (Russian: Мёртвые души, Mj籀rtvyje d繳shi) is a novel by Nikolai Gogol, first published in 1842, and widely regarded as an exemplar of 19th-century Russian literature. The novel chronicles the travels and adventures of Pavel Ivanovich Chichikov (Russian: Павел Иванович Чичиков) and the people whom he encounters. These people typify the Russian middle-class of the time. Gogol himself saw his work as an "epic poem in prose", and within the book characterised it as a "novel in verse". Despite supposedly completing the trilogy's second part, Gogol destroyed it shortly before his death. Although the novel ends in mid-sentence (like Sterne's Sentimental Journey), it is regarded by some as complete in the extant form.
Blindspot in America
Blindspot in America gives a provocative depiction of some of the realities immigrants face in the United States--racism and discrimination--but also their hopes and faith in a country that promises freedom and opportunity to all. Kamao is the son of a prominent Ghanaian academic and incumbent minister of health and is devoted to all that America symbolizes. After immigrating to the United States in pursuit of higher education and the American Dream, he becomes unwittingly entangled with American politics when he meets Lindsey McAdams, the daughter of an influential, anti-immigration senator. As the couple's feelings grow, so too does the senator's animosity toward Kamao. Despite support from fellow immigrants Lazo, Ayefumi, and Dania--who follow American Dreams of their own--Kamao soon finds himself drawn into intrigues hidden from the American public that make him question himself and his adopted country. When Kamao is implicated in a murder, Lindsey's loyalties are tested, Dania must decide if she is willing to risk her own future and security for the sake of justice, and Kamao discovers how far he'll go to fulfill his American Dream.
Not One More
The day that Coach Daniel Kane had to identify the gruesome remains of his eight-year-old granddaughter, he became radicalized. Marnie McKay was murdered by an AR-15 in her third-grade classroom. Her death required retribution, and those responsible for legalizing the sale of weapons of war to the public would now have their own offspring in the cross-hairs of an unlikely cell of determined assassins. NOT ONE MORE is the primal scream of millions of Americans repulsed by the frequency of mass shootings. The book explores the heartache of loss, the journey to healing, and the moral struggle to overcome a primal and deadly impulse for retribution.
Sanctions in Paradise
Commonwealth Finance Ministers' Conferences are held annually on one of the many beautiful island member states of the British Commonwealh and are usually very boring. The 1985 Conference was just like all its predecessors in the first respect. It was held in the Seychelles, the most stunning of all the Commonweath's small states. But it was totally unlike any other Conference in the second respect. The main item on the Conference agenda was whether or not the Commonwealth should impose economic sanctions on South Africa because of its apartheid policies. The South Africans were determined that would not happen. They infiltrated Seychelles and carried out attacks and threats aimed at getting the conference called off or scaring delegates into voting against imposing sanctions. Their attempts come to a dramatic and explosive end.
