Sinopse

In "Strategemata," Sextus Julius Frontinus masterfully compiles a rich tapestry of military stratagems and tactics drawn from the annals of history. Written in the first century AD, this treatise juxtaposes anecdotal narratives with analytical insights, revealing the cunning maneuvers employed by ancient generals to outwit their foes. Frontinus's literary style, marked by clarity and eloquence, situates the text within the broader context of Roman military literature, expertly illustrating the interplay between strategy, deception, and the psychological dimensions of warfare. His work serves not only as a manual for military leaders but also as a reflection on the nature of power and human behavior in the face of conflict. Frontinus, a distinguished Roman military engineer and politician, was well-acquainted with both the theoretical and practical aspects of warfare, having served in various military capacities and holding the esteemed position of water commissioner in Rome. His lived experiences undoubtedly informed his writings, providing a grounded understanding of strategy that transcends mere theoretical discourse. This duality of background imbues "Strategemata" with authenticity and depth, establishing Frontinus as a pivotal figure in the study of military stratagems. For scholars, tacticians, and aficionados of military history, "Strategemata" is an indispensable text that distills the complexities of warfare into timeless principles. It offers readers keen insights into the art of strategy, ensuring that its relevance resonates even in contemporary discussions on military tactics and leadership. Dive into this compelling work to uncover the classical underpinnings of strategy that inform modern principles of conflict resolution and military thought.

    The question of where ultimacy lies should be central to the Christian. It is easy to see the social implications of allowing priority to fall to either the one or the many. This volume examines in-depth the Christian solution to the problem of the one and the many - the Trinitarian God. Only in the godhead is this dilemma resolved. Only in the Trinity does there reside an equal ultimacy of unity and plurality. Rushdoony examines the history of Western thought from the standpoint of the one and the many and demonstrates clearly that the most astute thinkers were unable to resolve this philosophical conflict. What is needed now is a complete return to the Trinitarian view of God and its implications for a Christian social order.

    “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.”

    Hebrew theology was divided into three distinct parts. The first was the law, the second was the soul of the law, and the third was the soul of the soul of the law. The law was taught to all the children of Israel; the Mishna, or the soul of the law, was revealed to the Rabbins and teachers; but the Qabbalah, the soul of the soul of the law, was cunningly concealed, and only the highest initiates among the Jews were instructed in its secret principles.
