Desire for liberty at home and fair trade with other nations induced Americans to leave the British Empire in 1776. Now we have another American uprising against globalist empires. This time the British joined us in declaring their independence as a sovereign nation by breaking their ties to the European Union. They saw the danger that their prescient author George Orwell warned us about in 1948: Capitalism is disappearing, but Socialism is not replacing it. What is now arising is a new kind of planned, centralized society which will be neither capitalist nor, in any accepted sense of the word, democratic. The rulers of this new society will be the people who effectively control the means of production: that is, business executives, technicians, bureaucrats, and soldiers, lumped together...under the name of "managers." These people will eliminate the old capitalist class, crush the working class, and so organize society that all power and economic privilege remain in their own hands. Let us restore the United States to our original destiny as the light that leads the world toward liberty and prosperity. We must not allow our Globalist elitists to diminish us to serve their ends.

What if pro-slavery Democrats had kept their party united and won the election of 1860? What if Jefferson Davis fought to preserve the pro-slavery Union while Abraham Lincoln fought for a new birth of freedom outside it? "Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better-- This is a most valuable, -- a most sacred right -- a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world." - Abraham Lincoln "It needs the united power, harmonious action and concentrated will of the people of all these States to roll the wheel of progress to the end which our fathers contemplated, and which their sons, if they are wise and true, may behold. This great country will remain united." - Jefferson Davis Now the Confederate Union and The United States of Free America are at war. They are marshaling all their strength for the titanic battle that will decide the war. Which side will win The Confederate Union Victory?

Abraham Lincoln began the morning of August 23, 1864 by despairing of re-election: "This morning, as for some days past, it seems exceedingly probable that this Administration will not be re-elected. Then it will be my duty to so co-operate with the President elect (George McClellan, running on the Peace Platform), as to save the Union between the election and the inauguration; as he will have secured his election on such ground that he cannot possibly save it afterwards."The Union was losing as many as 15,000 men killed, crippled, and dead from disease per week. Men up to the age of 45 were being conscripted to fill the gaping holes. Many deserted or surrendered at the first opportunity. Officers who had turned Lee back at Gettysburg last year had been killed or discharged with wounds. Incompetents and drunkards took their places. Grant's army was suffering staggering defeats at battles it would have won in previous years.Robert E. Lee's Confederate army was not only holding fast in Virginia, but had recently raided the outskirts of Washington, taking Mr. Lincoln under fire. On August 23rd bad news poured in from all fronts. Lincoln's friends warned him he would not be re-elected. George McClellan, a pre-war protege of Jefferson Davis, would be the next president.During the course of the day, Mr. Lincoln made a series of decisions that swung the balance back in his favor and enabled him to prevail in November's election, thus seeing the war through to Union victory.This is the story of that day.

This is a predictive analysis of the 2020 election, which may be decisive in defining our political destiny for the next generation, or perhaps even for the rest of the 21st Century. Originally published in April 2019, it has been updated with the election result, comparing the forecast to the outcome. If the Fourth Turning theory is correct, then Donald Trump is the Great Unraveller of the post-WWII globalist order. The election of 2020 will determine whether he is replaced by a leader on the Progressive Left; or whether he will become the progenitor of a new Populist Republican majority. Both sides will therefore view the 2020 election as extraordinarily decisive. Elections are usually written about when they're over and the results are in. That gives them an aura of inevitability. We'll look at the 2020 election as it progresses and see how accurately we anticipated the outcome.

It's been a century since quantum mechanics and Einstein's Theory of Relativity were conceptualized. Some aspects of Q.M and Relativity still haven't been well considered or well presented to the public. We're about due for another revolutionary advance in our understanding of these theories that describe the foundations of the Universe. We're hearing about quantum computing, quantum memory, quantum multiple realities, and other emergent topics of quantum theory. The public, as well as scientists, would do well to glean a heads-up understanding on these concepts now, before the next dam bursts. This book explains the fundamentals of quantum mechanics 101 to a popular audience in an interesting way. It explores the history and philosophy of quantum mechanics, going back to the original "dual nature" experiment in the early 1800's. It explains in popular terms the great debates between Albert Einstein, who was skeptical of quantum theories, and Q.M.'s founders, like Niels Bohr. These debates go to the core of the realities we experience. We'll begin our exploration of quantum mechanics by wrapping it around a science fiction experiment that purports to prove or disprove quantum immortality, i.e. the permanent retention of the information we acquire in life.

The debate over Free Trade* vs. Tariffs is one of those issues that combines monetary and ideological interests and is therefore prone to inflaming opinions beyond reason. These issues affect people's bank accounts and their egos. People talk about them in shorthand phrases such as "Adam Smith, Milton Friedman, David Ricardo, Smoot-Hawley" as a way of saying, "I don't know enough about tariffs to argue the pros and cons intelligently, so I'll throw some buzzwords and 'appeals to authority' around and hope they sound convincing."My purpose is to bring about a reasoned understanding of the Free Trade vs. Tariffs debate by exploring its historical roots and evolution to the present.

This book seeks to provide lay readers the "Eureka " moment of understanding Relativity without inducing headaches in comprehending the math. It is written for those who have studied it, wondered about it, and still lack an intuitive understanding of it. As well as science, it seeks to open a window into the intellectual spirit of Relativity that animated the minds of its discoverers, including Einstein, Poincare, Minkowski, and Lorentz.

Is generative AI really "approaching human levels of intelligence?" Did a computer program really tell somebody they should dump their partner so they can marry electrical pulses plying their way through silicon? Are these programs really collaborating to create their own secret language in a conspiracy to overthrow humanity? Or are these claims intentional misrepresentations of truth purposed to deceive the public into accepting government control of AI in collusion with a cartel of corporations? Or is it just an honest difference of perspective? This book explores the questions of whether artificial intelligence duplicates the functions of our minds, or only certain narrow sub-sentient aspects of our brains. And whether AI will replace humans in the many realms our intelligence enables.

What if pro-slavery Democrats kept their party united and won the election of 1860? What if Jefferson Davis became President of a pro-slavery Union, while Abraham Lincoln must decide whether to fight for a new birth of freedom outside it? In this alternate history, there will be no secession of the South. But what about the anti-slavery men in the North? Will the United States, now styled "The Confederate Union," still be their country? "Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better-- This is a most valuable, -- a most sacred right -- a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world." - Abraham Lincoln "It needs the united power, harmonious action and concentrated will of the people of all these States to roll the wheel of progress to the end which our fathers contemplated, and which their sons, if they are wise and true, may behold. This great country will remain united." - Jefferson Davis

FIRE IN THE HEARTLAND is a novelized true story that fills in the gaps of our knowledge about little-known events that decided the outcome of the Civil War. The story was obscured after the war and largely forgotten. Its retelling is based on research originally published in popular history magazines that brings the events to life. It provides a unique insight into the personal and political intrigues that were part of the war. And it's a great read. - Fire in the Heartland gives us a different perspective on the Civil War. As a career military officer, I saw Generals McClellan, Grant, Sherman, Jackson, Lee and others portrayed in different lights. I felt the horrible decisions made by both sides as they tried to protect their territories, find manpower for their armies and limit travel in the young nation as it slowly divided itself. I saw how close Lincoln came to loosing reelection and how close McClellan came to winning the Presidency. Had that happened, our nation today would look very different. - Fire in the Heartland takes the reader into the levels of the War that are seldom seen. Family divisions have been portrayed before, but the depth of the political intrigue has always needed to be exposed and is done quite interestingly and provocatively. - A vivid account of the political turmoil within ordinary families and the nation at large before, during, and after the Civil War - An interesting historical novel and an easy read. The Civil War and the way it fractured families was a very difficult time in our history. I thought this was well presented by the author. - I must say that I both enjoyed the book, and learned much by reading it, and I, a former history teacher, recommend it highly.
