Summary

In this gripping and concise account, Middle East expert James Snell delves deep into the collapse of the al-Assads' dictatorship, tracing their brutal atrocities from 1970 and what it means for the West. Through detailed narratives and eyewitness testimonies, he chronicles the relentless oppression and war crimes that fuelled the opposition's struggle. The fall of Damascus in December 2024 not only marked the end of over 50 years of Assad-family rule but also provided an unexpected development in the international drug trade, terrorism, Russia's strategic stronghold in the Mediterranean, highlighting significant geopolitical shifts. James currently writes for the Telegraph and Spectator on Syria.

  • I Am Not Your Black America! - Going Beyond The Color Construct - cover

    I Am Not Your Black America! -...

    Forget Every "Black" book you ever read; this Book is NOT "your black" book!This is the story of a first time author, who calls himself "Uncle Meshorn", as he debunks every label by which "uncle sam" has branded him with, including "uncle tom"!If MeShorn is NOT "your black", America, then who is he? 
    As soon as you think you can "box" MeShorn into "one of yours", you will have to embarrassingly pull him out, as you read the next chapter!Yet, this book is not just about who he is, rather who you are.His story will force you to, grudgingly "pull yourself" out of boxes or labels, America has imprisoned you inside, in the name of culture, diversity, community and patriotism! 
    This book is intelligent but is not written by an intellectual.At heart, it is the cry of a child who severely doubted his identity, after being dragged through the muddy life of his gods: his parents, foster parents, and uncles.As an adult, Meshorn had to wake up to the reality of the community he was raised in, "...The search for identity has alienated them from their true selves; the search for roots has UPROOTED them; the search for a 'colored' God has made them GODLESS." 
    As a US Army Officer, in his travels, he discovered that America in search of an identity, likewise, has sold its soul, in exchange for nostalgia of a supposed greatness in the past.He does not believe that America was great or is great, but he can see clearly now that it can become as great as it wants to be.And the only way to become great is to never reply as Cain did when he was asked, "Where is your brother? ... "Am I my brother's keeper?!"

    Atomic Days - The Untold Story...

    Once home to the United States's largest plutonium production site, the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington State is laced with 56 million gallons of radioactive waste. The threat of an explosive accident at Hanford is all too real—an event that could be more catastrophic than Chernobyl. 
     
      
     
    The EPA designated Hanford the most toxic place in America; it is also the most expensive environmental clean-up job the world has ever seen, with a $677 billion price tag that keeps growing. Huge underground tanks, well past their life expectancy and full of boiling radioactive gunk, are leaking, infecting groundwater supplies and threatening the Columbia River. 
     
     
     
    Whistleblowers are now speaking out, hoping their pleas can help bring attention to the dire situation at Hanford. Aside from a few feisty community groups and handful of Indigenous activists, there is very little public scrutiny of the clean-up process, which is managed by the Department of Energy and carried out by contractors with shoddy track records, like Bechtel. In the context of renewed support for atomic power as a means of combating climate change, Atomic Days provides a much-needed refutation of the myths of nuclear technology—from weapons to electricity—and shines a spotlight on the ravages of Hanford and its threat to communities, workers, and the global environment.

    Abraham Lincoln lived during what was likely the darkest hour in America’s history. Though that may seem hard to believe for those of us that are alive today and witnessing the wasting away of the America we love, Antebellum America (as it has been referred to since the Civil War) was an age of great darkness, division, and violence.  
    There are a thousand lessons that emerge out of this challenging time in our great history. But, it’s the spiritual lessons that Eric draws upon for this series. How can we as Christians in a day and age, not altogether that far removed from those Antebellum days, successfully navigate through our own civil derangements and spiritual and moral meltdowns to eternally impact an anti-Christian world for the glory of Jesus Christ? Buckle your spiritual seat belts as we head back to an age when hope seemed lost and the seeds for a great Civil War were beginning to sprout with devilish petals and poisonous thorns. 
    This is an Ellerslie Live Teaching Series from Eric Ludy, recorded live in front of an audience. When you purchase this audiobook, it comes with an accompanying PDF of the message notes.
