From the author of "Rhymes from the Book of Life", the "Magic Bubble", "Exodus" and co author of "Mirrored Voices" 1st, 2nd and 3rd issue. The Dreamweaver is an entity whose only objective is to gain domain over the entire planet earth, mankind and the dimension to which we are all bound. It is true to say that he is not a man, a spirit or a God, being purely composed of alien matter, unique within the universe. His only true gift, in his slowly depleting world is the fact that he can manifest within any part or time within our universe, but only for a few moments. His main weapon is his ability to manipulate the dreams of any man or woman. Richard is an extremely wealthy man. Life has been good to him rewarding him with health, wealth and happiness. He is married with two, twenty something daughters. One day, Richard's persona unwittingly changes. Events within his life start to take a turn for the worse. He experiences a car crash, is investigated for murder, his fellow directors turn against him and to cap it all his wife is kidnapped. After his attempts for help are spurned, by even his closest of friends, Richard decides to find his wife on his own accord. His ensuing act reveals some startling facts and hidden talents that even Richard did not know that he possessed. As time passes by Richard decides to enlist the help of a spiritualist who in turn enlists further help from the spiritual fraternity. Slowly, between them, they discover that Richard was put on this planet to protect mankind; the only apparent problem was that he did not know it. Together they set out to explain to Richard that he was destined for greater things. To assure him that he possessed greater talents, but most of all, that he was on a collision course with the Dreamweaver. The Dreamweaver realises that Richard aka Yevan, is undergoing an awakening process which ultimately, at best, could undermine his attempt to attain the domain of the universe, at worst could see the termination of the Dreamweaver's existence. As Richard discovers his gifts, he also discovers compassion. This revelation to Richard, changes his whole outlook on life. Old friends rediscovered are amazed at the difference, even his current friends begin to take a liking to him once again. With the onset of compassion also comes a realisation process which subconsciously opens up a link between Richard and the creator. Eventually, the build up of events become so strong that Richard is not able to control them, his true source, his true entity, Yevan takes over. A real battle between the Dreamweaver and Yevan begins, supported by the full wrath and power of the creator. Surely the combined resources of Yevan and the creator should be enough to defeat the Dreamweaver, but as explained earlier, the Dreamweaver is an alien force to our universe. Success is not a forgone conclusion. A metamorphosis must take place for any real, successful conclusion to occur. Eventually Yevan and the Dreamweaver come face to face in bizarre circumstances, highly relatable to the reader. Even armed with knowledge and power, still Yevan can only slow down the Dreamweaver in his quest for complete domination. The conclusion to this first book concentrates on how Yevan can only place mankind in a state of stasis, a form of suspended animation and to do this Yevan must risk sacrificing his soul and that of his human bond Richard.
Rep. JAMIE RASKIN (D-MD): “This fine book is an essential primer about the stakes in ’24. We owe Mark a debt of gratitude.”LAURENCE TRIBE: “Written with searing clarity and biting humor.” The Inflection Election: Democracy or Fascism in 2024? aims to warn busy and credulous Americans that this November will be a choice between a Party of Progress and a Party of Dangerous Extremism that may determine the path for American governance for generations. This is not a “both-sides” analysis by a journalistic spectator, but is instead a blunt “one-sided” guide by an experienced partisan—a public interest lawyer, elected Democrat, and prolific author. Mark Green makes the case for Democracy and Freedom and against Trump’s blatant Caesarism and MAGA’s fringeworthy agenda. While neither side has a prohibitive advantage as of mid-2024, the stakes are no mystery. If the GOP should now win both the White House and Congress—with a reactionary Supreme Court already in its column—a numerical minority of Americans would then enjoy a temporary governing majority that could cancel a century of progress and make the world’s oldest democracy no longer democratic. There must be a word that binds together such threats but it sure isn't “conservative” in the way Eisenhower, Reagan, or the Bushes would have understood it. For if all the corruption, lies, violence, and racism described throughout The Inflection Election were aggregated into a pointillist painting, the portrait would resemble Orbán far more than Obama. This is extremism posing as patriotism . . . whether it’s called fascism, dictatorship, autocracy, or authoritarianism. While the country can hope that the courts will hold Trump accountable, Green concludes that crushing it in 2024 is the best way to return to a healthy two-party system where losers respect the choice of voters, like in the good old days of 1789–2020. In a likely close 2024 national contest, The Inflection Election is an entertaining and informative manifesto that will become part of this year’s urgent political conversation. It is a one-stop primer that synthesizes fresh phrases, narratives and values to keep Democrats on offense and Trump’s MAGA party on-the-ropes. Green’s conclusion is that the GOP “sounds like a casting call for the delirious jury in the classic film Idiocracy, which was supposed to be a satire on reverse Darwinism, not reality TV.” November 5, 2024 is either/or time. This book explains why.

"PERSECUTION, PRIVILEGE & POWER" is a controversial but compelling collection of articles that critically explores the impact and influence of organized Zionism on American life and global politics. In one volume, thirty contributing editors weigh in on the hottest and most taboo subject in the Western world; namely, the overpowering reach and influence of organized Jewish groups towards directing policies in Washington that are favorable to the State of Israel or the perceived well-being of Jews world-wide. The taboo against critically exploring the downside of these tribal machinations is cast aside in this searing and informative anthology. Among the distinguished commentators found in "PERSECUTION, PRIVILEGE & POWER" are: James Petras, Charlie Reese, Alison Weir, Ray McGovern, Kevin MacDonald, Stephen Lendman, John V. Whitbeck, Israel Shamir, Mark Weber, Richard Curtiss, Gilad Atzmon, Joseph Sobran and others. Throughout this volume, Israel's dubious role as an American 'asset' goes under the microscope, as does that nation's favored status with whatever Party rules Washington. The writing is direct and penetrating and the conclusions are often explosive. Domestic politics--even world history--will never quite be the same after reading this incisive compilation of web-based analysis. "PERSECUTION, PRIVILEGE & POWER" is a fast read that also makes a provocative and memorable gift.
I'm An-ti-social, An-ti-social, An-ti-Social, I hate the world... Mit diesem Lied schaffte die Band Skrewdriver sich lautstark Gehör in der Punkmusikwelt anno 1977. Viele Jugendliche und Heranwachsende identifizierten sich mit dieser Textzeile während einer Zeit einer herrschenden Tristesse, die aber auch geprägt war von steigenden gesellschaftlichen sowie politischen Spannungen. Skrewdriver folgten (wie viele andere auch) dem Ruf der aufkommenden britischen Punkbewegung mit der "Do It Yourself"-Philosophie. Sie traten mit den Sex Pistols auf, eröffneten Shows für The Damned, Motörhead, Billy Idols Generation X, Boomtown Rats oder auch für Siouxie & The Banshees und standen kurz vor einer wohl erfolgreichen Musikkarriere, aber Ausschreitungen bei einem wichtigen Konzert in London zerstörten jäh die Träume der ambitionierten Musiker.Dieses Buch dokumentiert die spannende Reise von Skrewdriver während ihrer Punkphase bis 1979. Archivmaterial mit bis dato unveröffentlichten Bildern, Interviews mit Zeitzeugen und ehemaligen Bandmitgliedern gewähren einen tiefen Einblick in eine Zeit der prägenden, rebellischen Musikkultur.
British Punk music has created a genre of simplistic but dynamic Rock 'n' Roll that shook the stiff establishment during dreadful years in 1976 to 1979. Skrewdriver was one of those protagonists on their quest for rebellion and fame. A band labelled as infamous, but their early Punk ¿career¿ remained often nebulous. 'A Case of Pride' is the full story of young adventures told in an unstained and authentic way...

Mumford-Tate groups are the fundamental symmetry groups of Hodge theory, a subject which rests at the center of contemporary complex algebraic geometry. This book is the first comprehensive exploration of Mumford-Tate groups and domains. Containing basic theory and a wealth of new views and results, it will become an essential resource for graduate students and researchers. Although Mumford-Tate groups can be defined for general structures, their theory and use to date has mainly been in the classical case of abelian varieties. While the book does examine this area, it focuses on the nonclassical case. The general theory turns out to be very rich, such as in the unexpected connections of finite dimensional and infinite dimensional representation theory of real, semisimple Lie groups. The authors give the complete classification of Hodge representations, a topic that should become a standard in the finite-dimensional representation theory of noncompact, real, semisimple Lie groups. They also indicate that in the future, a connection seems ready to be made between Lie groups that admit discrete series representations and the study of automorphic cohomology on quotients of Mumford-Tate domains by arithmetic groups. Bringing together complex geometry, representation theory, and arithmetic, this book opens up a fresh perspective on an important subject.
In recent years, considerable progress has been made in studying algebraic cycles using infinitesimal methods. These methods have usually been applied to Hodge-theoretic constructions such as the cycle class and the Abel-Jacobi map. Substantial advances have also occurred in the infinitesimal theory for subvarieties of a given smooth variety, centered around the normal bundle and the obstructions coming from the normal bundle's first cohomology group. Here, Mark Green and Phillip Griffiths set forth the initial stages of an infinitesimal theory for algebraic cycles. The book aims in part to understand the geometric basis and the limitations of Spencer Bloch's beautiful formula for the tangent space to Chow groups. Bloch's formula is motivated by algebraic K-theory and involves differentials over Q. The theory developed here is characterized by the appearance of arithmetic considerations even in the local infinitesimal theory of algebraic cycles. The map from the tangent space to the Hilbert scheme to the tangent space to algebraic cycles passes through a variant of an interesting construction in commutative algebra due to Angeniol and Lejeune-Jalabert. The link between the theory given here and Bloch's formula arises from an interpretation of the Cousin flasque resolution of differentials over Q as the tangent sequence to the Gersten resolution in algebraic K-theory. The case of 0-cycles on a surface is used for illustrative purposes to avoid undue technical complications.
