Sinossi

Shadows of Power: Corruption and Control in the Marcos Era is an incisive exploration of one of the most turbulent periods in Philippine history. Author William Ubagan delves into the mechanisms of control and the depths of corruption that characterized the Marcos regime, unraveling how power was wielded to suppress opposition, manipulate public perception, and entrench an authoritarian rule.
 
Through extensive research and first-hand accounts, this book examines the political strategies, economic maneuvers, and social impacts of the era, offering readers a clear picture of how an entire nation was shaped by a single family's hold on power. Shadows of Power not only tells the story of a dark chapter in the Philippines but also serves as a warning about the vulnerabilities of any democracy.
 
A compelling read for history enthusiasts, political analysts, and anyone interested in the universal struggle for freedom and justice, Shadows of Power is a sobering reminder of the resilience required to protect human rights and maintain democratic principles.

    Lenin Lives?

    Lenin's work and influence have often been written off as no longer relevant, and many today consider this to be so. Lenin has, they claim, had his day, even though he is still revered in China, the world's most populous country. However, Lenin, like his mentor Marx, has had a tendency to rise from apparent decline and oblivion to renewed force and influence. 
     
     
     
    This study examines the key elements of Lenin's life and career, the consolidation of his ideas into the doctrines of "Leninism," the influence of Leninism in promoting revolutionary movements around the globe, and the currently disputed issue of whether his ideas still have any relevance today. In particular, while considering his views on the role of the revolutionary party, often seen as the centerpiece of his theory and practice, this account identifies the root of Lenin's global influence in his opposition to capitalist imperialism and as a bedrock foundation for the opposition of many to fascism and associated ideologies. While recognizing that Lenin's reputation has reached its lowest point, not least in his home country where his legacy is reviled by Vladimir Putin and other contemporary leaders, the book concludes by weighing up the contemporary arguments of those who believe that Lenin still lives.

    Americans With African Roots Empowered (A’WA’RE™) offers a grounded and insightful exploration of the history and identity of the Hebrew Israelites, tracing their journey from biblical times through centuries of exile, colonization, and cultural erasure. Beginning with King James VI and I, the book examines how his influence shaped the Bible’s translation and how this version was used to reinforce imperial agendas. Through careful comparison with ancient texts such as the Ethiopian Bible and analysis of removed or suppressed scriptures, the book reveals how religious doctrine was reshaped to justify colonization and slavery. The transformation of the Hebrew Israelite faith into a tool of European dominance is laid bare, showing how key elements of biblical history were distorted or omitted. Spanning events from the founding of Jamestown to the transatlantic slave trade, this work connects pivotal historical moments to the ongoing journey of a people whose story has often been hidden. It also explores the cultural endurance and prophetic traditions of the Hebrew Israelites, the evolving role of women, and the spiritual impact of the King James Bible on African-American communities. This is both a historical reexamination and a call to rediscover truth, identity, and legacy in the face of centuries of misrepresentation.
