  Spreading Hate - The Global Rise...

  The modern white power movement is now a global, transnational phenomenon. 
   
  In this sweeping, authoritative account, Daniel Byman traces the key moments in the white power movement’s evolution in the United States and around the world and then details its many facets today. Using a wide range of sources, Byman explodes several myths about  
  white power terrorism and identifies dangerous gaps in current policies. 
   
  For almost two decades since 9/11, white supremacist terrorism has been relegated to a secondary concern in the US and Europe despite shocking episodes of violence from New Zealand to Norway to South Carolina. Because white power terrorists’ grievances echo  
  mainstream debates and their violence often exacerbates polarization, their political impact can be inordinately high even if the body count is low. As Byman stresses, they are not a hidebound movement seeking to turn back the clock, but are dynamic, drawing on  
  ideas from around the world and exploiting the most cutting-edge technologies, especially social media. 
   
  White power terrorists, however, have many weaknesses. They are divided, with poor leadership, and often attract the incompetent and the criminal as well as the dangerous and deluded. If governments act decisively and treat white power terrorism with the same  
  urgency they use to manage jihadist violence, then the threat can be reduced. This will require aggressive law enforcement, international intelligence cooperation, crackdowns by technology companies, and other forceful steps. Spreading Hate will be essential reading  
  for anyone worried about this increasingly networked movement that threatens to grow more dangerous in the years to come.

  This book is written for the advance and the beginning psychics as well as those interested in finding out more. It is written a counterpoint to much of the bad press that the psychic community receives in the larger society.  
  It is a practical guide for the practicing psychic discussing psychic ability and provides skills that will assist in enhancing your connection to the larger world. I am a Taoist Master who spent twelve years in a temple. Through the process of overcoming dyslexia, I learned how the mind works at a fundamental level and how to connect with fundamental aspects of reality. Since I was a child, my entire life and reality have been centered around a connection with the world beyond my five senses and the pragmatic definition of the universe. 
  If you have been a practicing psychic or have experienced the psychic connection, I don’t need to tell you that there is much more going on in the world than what our senses or science tell us. This book explores this while giving practical advice and skills that will help to keep you balanced while enhancing your abilities. I speak to you in practical terms because I live my daily life through Energy. It at once reveals my direction and keeps me from harm while imbuing me with abilities I once never thought possible. 
  In the world today, we are polarized in so many fundamental ways. There are many reasons for this, but at a fundamental level, it is because of the cycle that we are in. My goal in life has always been to study reality. I try to look at things as they really are. We are in a period of extreme transformation right now where the things we once believed were unchangeable are no longer that certain. The ground is giving way, and this makes it a very frightening time. It is also a wonderful magical time where things once believed impossible will become possible.

  World War II was the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of mankind. Highly relevant today, World War II has much to teach us, not only about the profession of arms, but also about military preparedness, global strategy, and combined operations in the coalition war against fascism. This book follows military operations of the US Army in the East Indies from 1 January to 22 July 1942. 
  On 7 December 1941 Japan turned its war on the Asian mainland south and eastward into the Pacific. Attacks within hours on the Malay Peninsula, Hong Kong, Hawaii, Wake, Guam, and the Philippines not only shocked Allied governments, who believed Japanese envoys had been negotiating in good faith in Washington, but also caught them poorly prepared for war along the Asian rimlands. By the end of the day a sizable Japanese amphibious force had established itself on the Malay Peninsula; the backbone of the U.S. Pacific Fleet lay twisted and burning in the mud of Pearl Harbor; hundreds of Western aircraft sprawled crumpled on airfields and hillsides across the Central and South Pacific; and neither the British Eastern Fleet nor Royal Netherlands Navy units in the Pacific could steam safely through the Indian Ocean, around Malaya, or in the East Indies. It was imperative that the Western Powers somehow stop the Japanese southward advance, which now threatened to drive a wedge between the British in the Indian Ocean and the Americans in the Pacific, to seize the East Indies with its valuable natural resources, and to isolate Australia from both the United States and the British Commonwealth...

  Crimean War

  The Crimean War was an army war between Russia and an alliance of France, the Ottoman Empire, the UK, and Sardinia that lasted from October 1853 to February 1856. The rights of Christian minority in Palestine, which became part of the Ottoman Empire, were the instant reason for the war. The rights of Roman Catholics were promoted by the French, while those of the Eastern Orthodox Church were promoted by Russia.Longer-term elements included the Ottoman Empire's fall, the Russian Empire's development at the time of the preceding Russo-Turkish Wars, and the British and French desire to safeguard the Ottoman Empire to maintain the Show of Europe's power balance. It has been commonly observed that the causes, that included a difference over a type in one case, never ever suggested a "bigger confusion of purpose" but instead caused a dispute well-known for its "infamously inexperienced worldwide butchery."Let’s learn more about this often-forgotten war.
