The Jesus Clones

Tordín Lyn

Imagine what could happen if a religious zealot possessing wealth, power, and bio-technical genius, came into possession of a thorn from the Crown of Thorns placed upon Jesus’ head at the time of His Crucifixion. Richard Francis Craig had such a thorn and recovered Jesus’s DNA from its fossilized remains. He then joined forces with two progressive members of the Church, Cardinal Giovanni and Bishop Bellarmine, and a biotech wunderkind, Kristjan Evans. They have the technology to read His genetic code, a gift from God given through the Immaculate Conception of Mary and the Virgin Birth of Jesus. Dare they go further? Do they have the courage to use His genetic information to recreate the essence of Jesus, His clone, resurrecting Him to usher in the Second Coming and End of Times, the Final Judgement?Richard Craig made his fortune using his technological genius to found the biopharmaceutical company GenFlux. He was brought up in a strict Christian family by a stern father, a minister in the Redemption Church, and an architect of the God Box. While in the God Box Richard had his vision of Revelation and the Second Coming. The world is in chaos approaching the years of Tribulation and Richard believed God’s desire was for Man to save himself. Did not Mankind discover medical breakthroughs that prevented misery and death? Did Richard not develop medical breakthroughs that cured illness and alleviated suffering? Did Man not harness the power of the atom and the power of DNA, the life force? Richard often felt he was chosen to be a Prophet of the Lord. He knew Mankind possessed the power to control the life force itself, DNA, and thus the life essence of any organism whose DNA sequence Man could acquire. Assisted by Cardinal Giovanni, Bishop Bellarmine, and fellow technological genius Kristjan Evans, Richard Craig formulated his plan to clone Jesus and hasten the Second Coming of Christ, the Final Judgment, and the End of Times.

Twelve Feminist Lessons of War

Cynthia Enloe

Renowned scholar-activist Cynthia Enloe lays out the lessons that women activists have drawn from their immediate experiences of war. 
 
 
  
Twelve Feminist Lessons of War draws on firsthand experiences of war from women in places as diverse as Ukraine, Myanmar, Somalia, Vietnam, Rwanda, Algeria, Syria, and Northern Ireland to show how women's wars are not men's wars. With her engaging trademark style, Cynthia Enloe demonstrates how patriarchy and militarism have embedded themselves in our institutions and our personal lives. 
 
 
  
Enloe reveals how the social and political influences that shape war—from military recruitment and economic collapse to sexual assault and reproductive rights (and their denial)—are deeply gendered and pervade women's lives before, during, and in the aftermath of war. Her razor-sharp analysis, at once accessible and provocative, highlights how women's emotional and physical labor is used to support government policies and how women's rights activists—against all odds—remain committed in the midst of armed violence. Twelve Feminist Lessons of War is the gritty and grounded book we need to understand what is happening to our world.

Sign-Language and Mythology as...

Gerald Massey

“Myth-making Man” did not create the Gods in his own image. The primary divinities of Egypt, such as Sut, Sebek, and Shu, three of the earliest, were represented in the likeness of the Hippopotamus, the Crocodile, and the Lion; whilst Hapi was imaged as an Ape, Anup as a Jackal, Ptah as a Beetle, Taht as an Ibis, Seb as a Goose. So it was the Goddesses. They are the likenesses of powers that were super-human, not human…. A huge mistake has hitherto been made in assuming that the Myth-Makers began by fashioning the Nature-Powers in their own human likeness. –from “Sign Language and Mythology as Primitive Modes of Representation” It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a “hidden history” of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey’s massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World–first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar–redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs. Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 1 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey argues that “primitive man” found no human agency in the phenomena of the natural world, which led to a woeful misinterpretation of Egyptian hieroglyphics by the Greeks and Romans as well as a misunderstanding of the essence of Egyptian mythology. As a consequence, Massey contends, a deep fount of wisdom of the ancients has been lost, and he goes on to reveal how it can be rediscovered. Peculiar and profound, this work will intrigue and delight readers of history, religion, and mythology. British author GERALD MASSEY (1828-1907) published works of poetry, spiritualism, Shakespearean criticism, and theology, but his best-known works are in the realm of Egyptology, including A Book of the Beginnings and The Natural Genesis.
