  Red Dawn - What If the Soviets...

  The Cold War, which dominated much of the 20th century, was a clash of ideologies, political ambitions, and global power struggles. It was a battle between two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, each determined to impose its vision of the future upon the world. The Cold War never boiled over into full-scale war, but the fear of nuclear annihilation and the constant threat of conflict shaped the political landscape. But what if the Soviet Union had won this prolonged battle, and the world as we know it had unfolded differently? 
  In the original timeline, the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 marked the end of the Cold War, leaving the United States as the undisputed global superpower. However, in this alternate reality, the Soviets have triumphed, their system of governance and ideology proving resilient and successful. How did this shift happen? The end of the Cold War came not with the fall of the Berlin Wall, but with the extension of Soviet influence across Europe, Asia, and beyond, ushering in a new age of global communism. 
  The victory of the Soviets would have drastically altered the political and economic systems of the world. The capitalist model, so dominant in the West, would have been eclipsed by socialism, and Western governments would have been forced to adopt forms of governance that more closely resembled the Soviet model. The United States, long a symbol of free-market capitalism and democracy, would have seen its institutions transformed, as the Soviet Union’s ideals spread through every corner of the globe.

  In Church as It Is In Heaven -...

  Heaven is multiethnic. Are you ready for that? 
   
   
   
  The Bible tells us that the congregation gathered around God's heavenly throne will be "a vast multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language," all singing the praises of the Lamb. God's intention has always been to delight for all eternity in a redeemed community of ethnic diversity. 
   
   
   
  But this diverse community shouldn't have to wait until eternity to begin! It can be a reality in our own local churches here and now. Patterned after a worship service, In Church as It Is in Heaven gives biblical warrant for such a community and shows how multiethnic churches provide a unique apologetic for the gospel. Along the way, the authors tell the story of their own church—a majority-white congregation which is being transformed into a family that reflects the diversity of heaven. 
   
   
   
  The multiethnic kingdom is not just a nice idea, or an abstract theory. It's a reality—one we can enter into today.

  On September 19, 1985, a US Senate hearing was instigated by the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC)--founded by Tipper Gore, wife of Senator and later Vice President Al Gore; and Susan Baker, wife of Treasury Secretary James Baker--who wanted to introduce a parental warning system that would label all music albums containing alleged offensive material. The system was to include letters identifying the type of objectionable content to be found in each album (O for occult themes, S for sex, D for drugs, V for violence, etc.).
   
  
   
  Dee Snider, lead singer and primary songwriter for the rock band Twisted Sister, John Denver, and Frank Zappa all testified against censorship and the proposed warning system. Such a system was never implemented, but the result of the hearing brought about what was known as the "Parental Advisory: Explicit Content" label.

  Redefining Racism - How Racism...

  Have you heard that racism requires more than just prejudice, but also “power”? 
  Have you been told the dictionary definition of racism isn’t correct? 
  Where did this all come from? And why is it being taught at your school or workplace? 
  The rabbit hole goes deeper than you might have imagined. Joseph (Jake) Klein’s Redefining Racism tells the story of the group of radical white “anti-racist” corporate and high-school educators who in the late 1960s and early 70s, taking inspiration from the anti-integrationist Marxist-Leninist Stokely Carmichael, funded by an organization seeking to pay off rioters to stop, and using manipulative techniques developed in part by U.S. intelligence’s director of the “psychological warfare center for the Far East,” created and spread the “Power + Prejudice” redefinition. And the late famed crack-addicted serial bank robber “Zombie Bandit” played a role too. 
  In tracing the history of this redefinition, Redefining Racism also tells the story of the origins of “Racism Awareness Training,” today frequently called “diversity training,” in the tradition of Robin DiAngelo and White Fragility that have taken American corporations, schools, and universities by storm. 
  Redefining Racism is the definitive rebuttal for why racism is not best defined as “Power + Prejudice” and a damning origin story for much of the modern so-called “anti-racist” movement, reminding us why the best way to be an anti-racist is to look at the content of one’s character and not the color of their skin. 
  “For anyone genuinely committed to realizing an American future where race, racism, and ‘anti-racism,’ cease to be the tools used to divide us, this is an indispensable text. With Redefining Racism, Jake Klein has provided a national service.” — Thomas Chatterton Williams, author of Self-Portrait in Black and White and Losing My Cool

  Barry Broman joined the CIA in 1971 straight out of the Marine Corps, choosing a career in intelligence largely because he wanted to spend his working life in Southeast Asia. Over the next thirty years, he had the privilege of working with brave men and women who were prepared to put their lives on the line in support of the free world during the Cold War, and he enjoyed the life of adventure he had been seeking since childhood. 
   
   
   
  This book brings together tales from his career as a CIA case officer during the Cold War, giving fascinating insights into handling double agents, working in denied areas, assessing and recruiting Soviet targets, flying with Air America, acting to discredit Soviet agents with Moscow, and what happened when a case officer sets a "scavenger hunt" around Bangkok for fellow spies—and at least one active target. 
   
   
   
  A selection of stories told in engaging style proving that often the truth is more unbelievable than fiction.
