  The Dismantling of Democracy -...

  Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must undergo the fatigues of supporting it." - Thomas Paine 
  We are witnessing a systematic teardown of democracy worldwide. This book will help you make sense of the world, understand how this could happen, and consider what we can do as ordinary citizens to flip the script on authoritarians. 
  We are in a perpetual struggle between authoritarian rule and the enduring resilience of freedom, also known as Democracy. This resilience, this unwavering strength, is not just a concept but a beacon of hope that inspires us to fight for our freedom of choice. 
  Having peace of mind, understanding how the world works, and seeing real-world examples are priceless, as shown in this book. However, beware that the who, how, and what is being done to dismantle democracy is terrifying to learn. You need to start with a willingness to hold the knowledge; once you have it, there is no forgetting it and no turning back. In the last 80 years, Democracy, to date, has not offered up a defense. Hence, we have been slowly taken off course. We need to fortify our defenses and go on the offense. 
  President Ronald Reagan said it best: 
  "Freedom is a fragile thing, and it's never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. And those in world history who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again." 
  Here's a not-so-fun fact: you have a six times greater chance of being killed living under an authoritarian regime than you do living and fighting for Democracy (TUCCILLE, 2014). Reading this book will give you the same peace of mind and sense of purpose that we all long for. We have to have purpose in wanting to live free and safe. That must be our eternal focus because freedom is not a given.

  Spell work, spiritual cleansing, herbal magic, how to protect against the Evil Eye, and cast, break, and avert hexes and curses. 
   
   
   
  Mexican witchcraft, or brujeria, has long been an integral part of traditional Mexican culture that permeates all strata of social hierarchy, ethnicity, or level of education. 
   
   
   
  "Brujeria de Rancho" refers to brujeria as it is practiced in the rural areas of Mexico. There, the brujos de Ranch offer their healing and divinatory powers, acting as advisors, and even meting out justice through the use of cursing and hexing for people who are often not able to pay lawyers' fees. 
   
   
   
  Davila, a practicing bruja de Rancho and for whom this is a multi-generational family tradition, brings this tradition to light in this comprehensive guide to Brujeria and Hechiceria (sorcery), presenting the beliefs and practices to today's listeners. The tradition includes a component of folk Catholicism that will be accessible to Pagans, non-Catholics, and practitioners of Hoodoo and Conjure. Topics included in the book are spell work, cleansings (limpias), herbs, talismans, how to protect against the Evil Eye, and also how to cast, break, and avert hexes and curses.

  NASA’s Space Race Programs: The...

  Today the Space Race is widely viewed poignantly and fondly as a race to the Moon that culminated with Apollo 11 “winning” the Race for the United States. In fact, it encompassed a much broader range of competition between the Soviet Union and the United States that affected everything from military technology to successfully launching satellites that could land on Mars or orbit other planets in the Solar System. Moreover, the notion that America “won” the Space Race at the end of the 1960s overlooks just how competitive the Space Race actually was in launching people into orbit, as well as the major contributions the Space Race influenced in leading to today’s International Space Station and continued space exploration. 
  The Apollo space program is the most famous and celebrated in American history, but the first successful landing of men on the Moon during Apollo 11 had complicated roots dating back over a decade. Landing on the Moon presented an ideal goal all on its own, but the government’s urgency in designing the Apollo program was actually brought about by the Soviet Union, which spent much of the 1950s leaving the United States in its dust (and rocket fuel). In 1957, at a time when people were concerned about communism and nuclear war, many Americans were dismayed by news that the Soviet Union was successfully launching satellites into orbit. 
  Throughout the 1960s, NASA would spend tens of billions on missions to the Moon, the most expensive peacetime program in American history to that point, and Apollo was only made possible by the tests conducted through earlier missions. Of course, by the time it was all done, Americans sure felt the cost was worth it as they watched the first live shots of astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the Moon. As he left his first footprint on the Moon, Armstrong transmitted one of the 20th century’s most famous phrases: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”

  THREE TIMES DECLARED DEAD IN WWI – AND THREE TIMES HE CAME BACK. 
  THE TRUE STORY OF AN AMERICAN MEDAL OF HONOR HERO HISTORY TRIED TO FORGET. 
  A gripping account of a young man from a small Montenegrin village who crossed the ocean in search of freedom, carrying only his mother’s blessing and a vow to guard honor above all. In America, he found a new homeland and became James I. Mestrovitch – a man who loved his adopted country as deeply as the one in which he was born. 
  When the Great War erupted, he was among the first to march to Europe under the American flag. On the blood-soaked fields of France, he became a symbol of courage and brotherhood. Soldiers, officers, even entire regiments spoke of his deeds, turning his bravery into stories and battlefield performances that boosted morale. 
  Wounded and unable to lift a rifle, he fought on with the only weapon he could still raise – a pistol. For his extraordinary valor, the United States Congress posthumously awarded him the Medal of Honor, placing him among the nation’s immortal heroes and forever inscribing his name in American history. 
  Based on extensive historical research, archival materials, and documented military records, this documentary narrative reconstructs the life of Sergeant James I. Mestrovitch — one of the most extraordinary yet forgotten heroes of World War I. 
  He's Alive! – a documentary work that brings an American hero back among the living.
