Russia's World Order - How...

Paul Robinson

The first Cold War was a struggle between capitalism and communism; most Western politicians and policymakers imagine the new one to be a struggle between democracy and autocracy. Russia's World Order explains that in Russian eyes, the conflict is about something very different: it is a fight between two incompatible visions of where history is leading. 
 
 
 
Russia's World Order describes the civilizational theory that has come to dominate Russian official discourse, and that has come to dominate Russian official discourse and that is being used to justify its clashes with the West. Whereas the West promotes a vision of history that drives all nations toward convergence on a single model, Russia's political leaders increasingly portray the world as consisting of numerous distinct civilizations, each diverging toward its own destination. The Russian state portrays itself as defending the right of all civilizations to chart their own independent path and is having some success in using this logic to win allies. 
 
 
 
Paul Robinson recounts how ideas of inevitable convergence once dominated Russian thought as well but were gradually pushed out by civilizational theories. He outlines where these theories came from, what they propose, and how they became popular. Russia's World Order thereby reveals the true nature of today's New Cold War.

Thought Forms

Annie Besant, C. W. Leadbeater

What do ideas look like? This clairvoyant view of the shape, color, and atmospheric effect of mental energy includes black-and-white drawings and color plates to convey a graphic representation of the power of thought. 
Prominent Theosophists Annie Besant and C. W. Leadbeater were pioneers in asserting that thoughts are, indeed, things. Originally released in 1901, Thought-Forms is a seminal work on what thoughts “look” like. It had an impact far beyond the circle of its primary readers and greatly influenced leading artists such as Piet Mondrian and Wassily Kandinsky. 
Simple in style and clearly written, Thought-Forms is a classic of the theosophical tradition that has as much to say in our own day as it did a century ago. It lucidly sets forth a way to conceive of the invisible realms within and around us, with implications both for how we view the world and how we act in it. 
Discussion includes the meaning of color, thought forms built by music, and the nature of helpful thoughts. Based on the authors’ clairvoyant vision, its illustrations suggest the form thoughts take in relation, for instance, to anger, fear, intellect, sympathy, devotion, and a meditative state. Annie Besant herself describes the book’s purpose as being to “serve as a striking moral lesson to every reader, making him realize the nature and power of his thoughts, acting as a stimulus to the noble and a curb to the base. With this belief and hope we send it on its way”.

Change They Can't Believe In -...

Christopher S. Parker, Matt A....

“Offers valuable empirical data on the Tea Party, and its focus on supporters’ antagonism toward Obama is critical to understanding the movement.” —Michael O’Donnell, The New Republic 
 
Winner of the Best Book Award, Race, Ethnicity, and Politics Section of the American Political Science Association 
 
Are Tea Party supporters merely a group of conservative citizens concerned about government spending? Or are they racists who refuse to accept Barack Obama as their president because he’s not white? Change They Can’t Believe In offers an alternative argument—that the Tea Party is driven by the reemergence of a reactionary movement in American politics that is fueled by a fear that America has changed for the worse. Providing a range of original evidence and rich portraits of party sympathizers as well as activists, Christopher Parker and Matt Barreto show that the perception that America is in danger directly informs how Tea Party supporters think and act. 
 
In a new afterword, Parker and Barreto reflect on the Tea Party’s recent initiatives, including the 2013 government shutdown, and evaluate their prospects for the 2016 election. 
 
“A scathing analysis of the Tea Party movement, linking it in spirit to the Ku Klux Klan and the John Birch Society. . . . Based on research and interviews, they suggest racism, desire for social dominance . . . drives the Tea Party.” —Publishers Weekly

Mindless War

Paul E. Vallely, US Arm General,...

This audiobook is an update to Reality Prism: A Raven Thriller, released by Flamingo Audiobooks. The focus of our book is to describe and explain the myriad of attacks on our Western Culture in general and the United States as the key target and last bastion of freedom. Mind War is the use of sophisticated deception to deceive an enemy, and to plant false images in his mind to allow advantage. It is a military tactic.Mindless War is a phrase that we’ve coined to describe the methods and controls being used destructively by Globalists, the New World Order, China, the Radical Left, and others, to replace the “old order” of countries, independent nation states, with a world of total control by independent, unaccountable elites. Groups like the World Economic Forum and the UN have been working on this for decades.Yes, this is the “Great Reset.” The goals are documented in UN Agenda 2030, and other such documents. That is the subject of our book Reality Prism. The goal of Mind War is to instill fear in a society! “Fear is the Mind Killer.” It drives the loss of judgment. False reality can be used to cause insane, self-destructive behavior.In the past, genocides and tyranny came from force. As Mao demonstrated, “From the barrel of a gun.” Or, as Hitler showed, from military conquest and death camps. Mind War is a much more effective tactic.Recent events show its success in getting Americans to surrender our notions of exceptionalism and all men (and women) of being equal. Our God-Given Freedoms—from the right to assemble, free speech, fair trials, innocent until proven guilty, honest elections, freedom of worship, the rule of law, and, of course, at the end, the right to bear arms—are all slipping away.
