Sinopsis

In "Discourses on Livy," Niccol√≤ Machiavelli delves into the intricacies of Roman history to elucidate the principles of governance and civic virtue. Written in a time of political upheaval in Renaissance Italy, Machiavelli employs a rigorous analytical style that transcends mere narrative'Äîengaging in philosophical discourse on the balance of power, the dynamics of popular governance, and the importance of civic participation. His examination of ancient Roman figures serves to draw parallels and lessons applicable to contemporary governance, situating the work within the broader context of humanist thought and political theory of the 16th century. Machiavelli, often regarded as the father of modern political science, was shaped by the turbulent political landscape of his time, witnessing the rise and fall of principalities in Italy. His earlier work, "The Prince," while pragmatic, lacked the comprehensive exploration found in the "Discourses." This later work reflects his belief in republicanism and the potential for a balanced government, influenced by his personal experiences in diplomacy and political theory, as he sought to articulate a framework for stability and justice. For readers seeking a profound understanding of governance and its ethical ramifications, "Discourses on Livy" provides vital insights rooted in both history and philosophy. It is essential for those interested in the intersections of power, morality, and civic duty, rendering it a cornerstone text in the study of political thought.

    The Seventh Sense - The Secrets...

    For the past thirty years, the United States government has secretly trained a select corps of military personnel in the art of "remote viewing"—the psychic ability to perceive the thoughts and experiences of others through the power of the human mind . . . 
     
     
     
    Now, for the first time, Lyn Buchanan—a world-renowned expert on remote viewing and its potential—tells the complete, candid story of his experiences. Assigned for nearly a decade to a clandestine US Army intelligence group, Buchanan trained military personnel who utilized their inherent psychic abilities as a data-collection tool during the Iran hostage crisis, the Chernobyl disaster, and the Gulf War. 
     
     
     
    In this incredible account, Buchanan tells how he was selected for his unique psychic abilities, and how he was transformed from an ordinary soldier into one of our nation's leading psychic spies. Working on top-secret government and military projects using "mental espionage" created permanent, life-altering changes within Buchanan. Now, after many years of analysis and interpretation, he reveals the techniques and mental exercises used to train remote viewers, and demonstrates that each of us carries a dormant psychic ability that we can explore and use ourselves.

    The Holodomor, a man-made famine that devastated Ukraine between 1932 and 1933, has its roots in the policies of the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin. While the famine itself was a tragedy of immense proportions, its causes can be traced to the larger political and economic strategies of the Soviet regime. 
    The Soviet Union, in its quest for rapid industrialization, implemented harsh agricultural policies, which included forced collectivization. The idea was to consolidate small farms into larger collective farms, thereby increasing agricultural output and facilitating the redistribution of food to feed the growing industrial centers. However, this policy had disastrous effects on Ukraine, where agriculture was the backbone of the economy. 
    Collectivization forced Ukrainian peasants, who were traditionally independent farmers, into state-run collective farms. This not only disrupted agricultural production but also led to widespread resistance, as many Ukrainians viewed this as a direct attack on their way of life. The Soviets, determined to break this resistance, responded with brutal force. Those who opposed collectivization were often punished or executed, and the fertile lands of Ukraine were systematically confiscated. 
    Stalin’s government implemented the policy of grain requisitioning, where large amounts of grain were forcibly taken from Ukraine to support other areas of the Soviet Union. Ukraine, known as the “breadbasket” of the Soviet Union, became the primary target of these requisitions. The grain was not only taken for export but also used to fuel the industrial ambitions of the Soviet state. This left the Ukrainian population without sufficient food for survival, pushing them into a state of extreme deprivation.
