Summary

Sir Thomas More (1478-1535), venerated in the Catholic Church as Saint Thomas More, was an English lawyer, judge, social philosopher, author, statesman, theologian, and noted Renaissance humanist. A Rosicrucian initiate, according to Italian scholars Paolo Rumor and Diego Marin, he was affiliated with one of the most powerful and secret initiatory organizations of all time.More served Henry VIII as Lord Chancellor from October 1529 to May 1532, and is best known for writing Utopia, published in 1516, considered the first Rosicrucian manifesto, a work describing the political system of an imaginary island state, in which many have seen anticipations of the basic principles of modern Freemasonry.Sir Thomas More's Lady Fortune, often called The Verses of Fortune, dating back to the early 16th century, is a philosophical dialogue dramatizing human struggle against the "allure of Fortune's fleeting goods". The dialogue depicts Lady Fortune and a wise interlocutor discussing how to achieve true "happiness" by choosing "happy Poverty" and focusing on what "nature can support", rather than being influenced by wealth and power.In the opinion of many historians and literary critics, this work was likely intended as a preface to an early English version of a book on lottery, with the aim of advising readers not to take games of chance too seriously. Instead, it is a work with profound philosophical, ethical, and initiatory meanings.

    Hitler in Los Angeles - How Jews...

    This is the chilling, little-known story of the rise of Nazism in Los Angeles and the Jewish leaders and spies they recruited who stopped it. 
    No American city was more important to the Nazis than Los Angeles, home to Hollywood, the greatest propaganda machine in the world. The Nazis plotted to kill the city’s Jews and to sabotage the nation’s military installations. Plans existed for hanging twenty prominent Hollywood figures such as Al Jolson, Charlie Chaplin, and Samuel Goldwyn; for driving through Boyle Heights and machine-gunning as many Jews as possible; and for blowing up defense installations and seizing munitions from National Guard armories along the Pacific Coast. 
    US law enforcement agencies were not paying close attention—preferring to monitor Reds rather than Nazis—and only Leon Lewis and his daring ring of spies stood in the way. From 1933 until the end of World War II, attorney Leon Lewis, the man Nazis would come to call “the most dangerous Jew in Los Angeles,” ran a spy operation comprising military veterans and their wives who infiltrated every Nazi and fascist group in Los Angeles. Often rising to leadership positions, this daring ring of spies uncovered and foiled the Nazis’ disturbing plans for death and destruction. 
    Featuring a large cast of Nazis, undercover agents, and colorful supporting players, Hitler in Los Angeles, by acclaimed historian Steven J. Ross, tells the story of Lewis’ daring spy network in a time when hate groups had moved from the margins to the mainstream.
