Government by the Unelected -...

Dr. R.J. Pestritto

“Much alarm has been raised among Establishment media and politicians about President Trump’s efforts to cut the federal bureaucracy and to force its top officials to be more loyal to him and to those who voted for him. How did we come to find ourselves in a situation where our top national administrators – who exercise immense governing power in our country – think of themselves as independent of the elected president? Why does it create alarm among our elites when the president expects those running the administrative state to carry out his political program? The roots of this entitled attitude go back many decades, and are part of the original Progressive project to comprehensively reshape American government. We are now in the midst of the first serious effort since the 1930s to restore some measure of democratic accountability to national administration. In this Provocation, Ronald J. Pestritto explains how we got to this moment, and what the prospects are for the current effort to turn things around.”

Hurlbut's Story of the Bible Part 2

Jesse Lyman Hurlbut

Some years ago, the editor of an English magazine sent a communication to "the hundred greatest men in Great Britain" asking them this question: "If for any reason you were to spend a year absolutely alone, in a prison for instance, and could select from your library three volumes to be taken with you as companions in your period of retirement please to inform us what those three books would be." The inquiry was sent to peers of the realm, prominent leaders in politics, judges, authors, manufacturers, merchants, gentlemen of leisure—men who would represent every aspect of successful life. In the answers it was found that ninety-eight of the hundred men named "The Bible" first on the list of the three books to be chosen. (From Book introduction)

Trauma Bonds

Joshua Nelken-Zitser

A fascinating journalistic exploration into the impact of intergenerational trauma on the descendants of both survivors and perpetrators 
When Joshua Nelken-Zitser sought treatment for panic attacks and an eating disorder, his therapist suggested a cause he’d never considered: intergenerational trauma. As the descendant of four Holocaust survivors, Joshua grew up hearing stories from his grandparents’ experiences. But, with his therapist’s comments in mind, he began to question not just how inherited trauma has impacted him, but how it has impacted the relations of perpetrators and entire nations. 
Drawing on original interviews with descendants of Nazis – from those who refused to confront their ancestors’ past to those who have gone to extreme lengths to address it – as well as psychotherapists and scientists studying how trauma is inherited, Joshua Nelken-Zitser explores the myriad repercussions of personal and national trauma. 
Thought-provoking and unique, The Trauma Bond powerfully highlights how reconciliation and communication can heal generational wounds, both on an individual level and for society as a whole.
