  The Fall of Communism -...

  The origins of communism can be traced back to the mid-19th century, largely shaped by the theories of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Marx's writings, particularly The Communist Manifesto (1848), presented a vision for a classless society where the working class, or proletariat, would overthrow the capitalist bourgeoisie and establish a dictatorship of the proletariat. Marx believed this revolution would lead to the eventual abolition of private property, creating a system where resources and wealth were shared equally among all people. Engels, Marx’s collaborator, helped to spread these ideas, laying the theoretical foundation for communism as a political ideology. 
  In the early 20th century, the ideas of Marxism found fertile ground in Russia, where economic disparity and social unrest were widespread. The Russian Empire, under Tsar Nicholas II, faced increasing pressure from industrialization, a growing working class, and a largely disenfranchised peasantry. The Russian Revolution of 1917, led by the Bolshevik Party under Vladimir Lenin, marked the beginning of communism’s practical implementation. The Bolsheviks sought to establish a socialist state where the working class would control the means of production and dismantle the old Tsarist monarchy. 
  Following the revolution, the Soviet Union was formed in 1922, uniting the Russian Federation and several other Soviet republics under a single communist government. The new government, however, faced significant challenges, including civil war, foreign intervention, and the task of restructuring a country that had been predominantly agrarian into a socialist industrialized state. Lenin’s death in 1924 led to the rise of Joseph Stalin, who consolidated power through brutal purges and policies such as forced collectivization and rapid industrialization.

  The Kybalion is the fundamental book on Hermetic Philosophy. 
  This book explains the nature of existence in Seven Principles according to Ancient Egyptian Philosophy. This information was kept hidden and passed down throughout the ages and contains the underlying principles of Truth found in all systems of thought. 
  This information can be applied to life in a practical or magical way. 
  This book was created based on the message inscribed on the Emerald Tablet of Thoth or “Hermes Trismigestus”. Thoth is said to be an Ascended Master who came back to Egypt to share the secrets of the Universe with Civilization. 
  Some of the most prominent thinkers and inventors credit the Emerald Tablet as the Secret to their achievements including Sir Isaac Newton, Madam Blavatsky, Fulcanelli and many more. 
  This mythological knowledge is the basis of Hermetic Law, explained by the Seven Hermetic axioms which describe by nature, the operating principles of existence. 
  These principles can be used to experience maximum fulfillment in life, make new discoveries and attain extraordinary goals. These are the secret principles on which our world operates and they can be applied in order to fulfill our deepest desires. 
  The Kybalion was written anonymously by the Three Initiates in the early 1900’s as a book to share the secrets of the Hermetic Order. 
  These initiates claim to be Masons of the highest degree although they never disclose their identities. Much speculation has gone into who the actual author(s) of the book were but regardless of who wrote it, this document serves to be the fundamental guide to the structure of reality as we know it. 
  “The Lips of Wisdom are Closed. Except to the Ears of Understanding.” 
  —The Kybalion

  It is an explosive true story of survival, betrayal, and the moment America lost its grip on the Middle East. 
  On November 4, 1979, 52 Americans were taken hostage inside the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, an act that stunned the world and sparked a 444-day standoff that shattered U.S. diplomacy and changed global politics forever. 
  In this pulse-pounding narrative, acclaimed historian Davis Truman pulls back the curtain on the backroom deals, psychological torment, and international missteps that defined one of the longest hostage crises in modern history. Drawing from declassified documents, secret cables, and firsthand interviews, 444 Days brings to life the human drama at the heart of a geopolitical disaster. 
  When diplomacy fails, what remains: bluster, betrayal, or a better way forward?

  The underground rock wall in Rockwall, Texas has fascinated me for years.  
  I’ve read everything I could online about it. Recently I moved from Los Angeles to Denton, Texas which is only about an hour drive from Rockwall. So I went there and spent an hour with the Rockwall County Museum Curator and learned a lot more about the structure. 
  Was also able to examine and take pictures of the wall section moved from the actual wall and reconstructed outside the museum. 
  In this book I’ve related the history of the wall’s discovery, excavations, interesting items and structures found on or near the wall, and information about possible giants who might have built it. 
  There are a lot of unanswered questions about this structure which still need to be learned. Those questions are listed near the end of this book.
