  Our Common Cause - Establishing...

  I want to talk to you about democracy. The real one. The one that does not exist, and the one we really need today. My research method is that of Hippocrates, who said, look for the cause of causes. In other words, to cure a disease, to solve a problem, it is useless to attack the consequences, it is useless to attack the different causes. There is always a determining cause (the one that determines all the others)—and that is our common cause.
  The first decisive battle is to push the important words "right side up":
  First. I am not a "citizen" (a citizen is autonomous; he votes himself his laws). I am only a "voter;" that is to say, a political child—because I am subject to the law voted into existence by someone other than me.
  Second. My "parents" in politics, the elected officials, do not want me to emancipate myself from them—they do not allow me to vote for or against the laws to which I have to submit myself.
  We are "the incompetents." They treat us like children. But it is our fault, because children also believe in "Santa Claus," and so voters believe in "universal suffrage," which we accept to call "democracy" (demos kratos, power belongs to the people). The so-called modern "democracy".

  This engaging summary presents an analysis of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S.

They quickly discover that Narnia has been subjugated by the evil White Witch, who has cast a spell of eternal winter across the whole kingdom. The words of an ancient prophecy seem to imply that the four Pevensies are destined to defeat the White Witch, but a betrayal by one of the siblings soon jeopardises not only all of their lives, but the fate of the entire land of Narnia… The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is the earliest and best-known novel in C.S.

  Saving MacArthur - The Story of...

  A photo in the New York Times on June 10, 1942 depicted a naval officer, John Duncan Bulkeley, and his wife in the back of a car as they were being treated to a New York ticker tape parade. Hundreds of thousands of people were cheering him in a hero's welcome. The thirty-year-old Bulkeley was back from the Philippines, where he had pulled off one of the most spectacular rescues in United States naval history by taking General Douglas MacArthur out of the besieged islands aboard a PT boat.MacArthur's escape from the Philippine death trap was front-page news. America's most illustrious soldier had been a hair's breadth away from being killed or captured by the Japanese. Both MacArthur and Bulkeley were awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. But no mention was ever made of the nearly eighty officers and men of Bulkeley's squadron who were left behind, a tragic sacrifice that no one would admit was unnecessary.Saving MacArthur is the story of the fateful friendship of two otherwise very different men who shared an unquenchable thirst for fame and a willingness to turn history into myth, a story that is as much about the nature of human beings as it is about a glorious moment in our past. But above all it is the story of the men history has forgotten. Saving MacArthur captures their hardships, close escapes, and ultimate triumph.
