  This sweeping history reorients our understanding of the Middle East, placing the Gulf at the heart of globalized trade and cross-cultural encounters. 
   
   
    
  World history began in the Persian Gulf. The ancient port cities that dotted its coastlines created the first global seaboard, a place from where faiths and cultures from around the world set sail and made contact. More than a history, The Center of the World shows us that contradictions that define our modern age have always been present. 
   
   
    
  For over four thousand years, the Gulf—sometimes called the Persian Gulf, sometimes the Arabian Gulf—has been a global crossroads while managing to avoid control by the world's greatest empires. In its history, we see a world of rapid change, fluctuating centers of trade, a dependency on uncertain global markets, and intense cross-cultural encounters that hold a mirror to the contemporary world. Focusing each chapter on a different port around the Gulf, The Center of the World shows how the people of the Gulf adapted to larger changes in world history, creating a system of free trade, merchant rule, and commerce that continues to define the region today.

  The Secrets of the Federal Reserve* by Eustace Mullins investigates the origins, structure, and influence of the U.S. Federal Reserve System, arguing that it was created not solely to stabilize the economy but to serve the interests of an elite banking group. Mullins traces the Reserve’s formation back to a secret meeting on Jekyll Island and explores how this institution has impacted U.S. and global economics. The book examines key figures, banks, and historical contexts behind the Reserve, presenting a controversial view that challenges mainstream narratives about its purpose and control. This work is often cited by those critical of centralized banking power and has sparked much debate in economic and historical circles.

  Wovoka: The Life and Legacy of...

  Wovoka (1867-1932), the Ghost Dance Prophet, was a member of the Walker River band of Paiutes, in western Nevada. The Walker River Reservation was established in 1859 and was Wokova’s home off and on for years. Wovoka was also known as Jack Wilson, a name he acquired while he was, for some years, employed on the David Wilson family ranch in the Mason Valley. At that time in Nevada, Indians not living on a reservation often lived on a ranch. Wovoka was exposed to the pious Wilson family’s daily Bible readings, and that may have helped shape his own beliefs. 
  His father was a traditional medicine man, himself a devotee of an earlier prophet. In 1889, Wovoka followed his father in also becoming a medicine man. The year, Wovoka had a series of visions that led to what is sometimes called the Ghost Dance religion, which spread like wildfire across much of the West in 1889 and 1890. 
  Wovoka’s 1889 visions grew into a new religion that gripped the hopes and imaginations of dozens of tribal groups, and it eventually extended over much of the West. It was a kind of antidote for defeat and cultural dislocation. The Lakota Sioux in particular were so caught up in the Ghost Dance and their adaptation of Wovoka’s revelations that they remain strongly associated with the Ghost Dance more than a century later.

  The First Comprehensive Treatment of the Kennedy Assassination.  The US government lied to the American people about President Kennedy's death.  But, ironically it was the American people who solved the crime.  Over the past half century, hundreds of researchers investigated one or more parts of the murder, often using their own expertise, such as photography, computers, science, medical expertise, and analytical skills.  Taken together, their detailed work illuminated what really happened.  Author Donald T. Phillips has been following the Kennedy assassination since it happened.  This book begins at the end of World War II and concludes when the Warren Commission was formed.  Revealed along the way is the truth about the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the ambush in Dealey Plaza, and JFK's fraudulent autopsy.  During his two years and eight months in office, President Kennedy prevented the US government from instigating a war that could have involved nuclear weapons in Vietnam, Laos, Berlin, the Soviet Union, and Cuba.  He was leading the nation away from armed conflict, ending the Cold War, and setting the stage for a lasting peace with all nations.  IN doing so, however, JFK was threatening long-established kopek structures within the government.  So on November 22, 1963, in broad daylight, they shot him in the  back and blew his brains out.  It was a pre-meditated, deliberate, willful act of murder with malice aforethought.  And they got away with it.  No one who participated in the crime was ever brought to justice.  Treason From Within answers the questions:  Who killed President Kennedy?  Why was he killed?  How was he killed?
