For the first time in decades, America has a leader with the courage to face the insidious philosophy of Progressivism. Started by Elites in 1890s England who believed that a small group of wealthy intellectuals was divinely destined to (benevolently) rule the world, their feudal beliefs of noble and serf now permeate the body politic of America. But the Progressives of both parties underestimate us and our resolve. Their billionaire Elitist backers are no match for us. Demeaning Democrat Progressives calling Americans who love their country 'deplorables' are equally despicable to their counterparts on the Republican side promising 'less government and spending' only to join forces with them to take our nation to a place not allowed under our contract. That contract is the United States Constitution and "We the People" are the first party to the agreement. The party of the second part is the federal government of the United States, which presently stands in breach of it. It's time we take back our nation and we need to do it while we have a leader in the White House with the courage to help us rather than hinder our efforts as those before him have done. Love him or hate him, Donald Trump is our only chance or hope. Even with his support, the sole means of circumventing the obstacles within government itself, is to go around them. The Founders, as if expecting their government to lose its way at the federal level, gave We the People the weapon to put the federal genie back in the bottle when absolutely necessary. That weapon is Article V of the Constitution and we are already moving ahead to deploy it. RESTORING AMERICA details a Step-by-Step roadmap of not only what happened, but how we can get back to Constitutional Rule of Law while putting those who were intended to serve us, back in their place, or out of government altogether. We are the Masters, not the Progressives, and it is high time they were reminded of it. Welcome to the Devolution, back to Rule of Law and the Constitution of the American Republic---as it was written. Howell W. Woltz The International Centre for Justice

George Soros has been arrested. Paris is in flames and Angela Merkel has been deposed. The American Spring has begun and the Globalists are finally on the run, worldwide. Thousands of Deep State operatives are at Ft. Belvoir in the U.S. awaiting trial and the man who started the fall of Globalism--Donald Trump--and his unlikely band of "deplorables" known as The Lawyers Guild, are the only ones left standing. NOTE- This novel is historical fiction, but every fact, legal cite and historical note regarding Progressivism and its roots has been rigorously vetted by The International Center for Justice for veracity, which wrote, "This novel is not only innovative in style but content and robs the Progressives of their figleaves-with fact wrapped in a rollicking good story."
In 1973, Soviet writer and historian, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, shocked the western world with his book, "Gulag Archipelago," exposing the vast prison system where he and other dissidents were held across the Soviet Union Now, almost half a century later, American author and journalist, Howell Woltz, has done the same in his latest book, "Gulag Ameryka," exposing a far larger system of gulags (and injustice) in the United States of America where he and 73 million other Americans --nearly one of every four adults--have suffered. With only 5% of the world's population, the United States now holds 25% of its prisoners. The U.S. has over 5,000 jails, prisons, and forced-labor camps scattered across the nation. It has the highest number of prisoners in world history, as well as the highest rate of conviction (98.6%). The rate of reversible error, even in cases where government is executing the citizen, was recently admitted by U.S. Courts to be 82% over a 23 year period. Using the United States government's own statistics (and seven years of personal experience being held in gulags all across America) Woltz has proven that his nation-- once vaunted as the "land of the free"-- is now the world's least just. When he began speaking out on this subject in America, he was threatened by U.S. Government agents and officials that he would be sent back to the gulag unless he was silent. Woltz escaped to Poland to tell his story. He now lives with his wife in Warsaw, writing and studying Polish language and culture at the University of Warsaw.
This book gives a detailed account of the holistic research carried out on the analytical data obtained historically on the products of the Nantgarw and Swansea porcelain manufactories which existed for a few years only during the second decade of the 19th Century. A background to the establishment of the two factories, which are linked through the persons of the enigmatic William Billingsley and his kiln manager, Samuel Walker, involves the sourcing of their raw materials and problems associated with the manufacture and distribution of the finished products. A description of the minerals and additives used in porcelain production is recounted to set the scene for the critical evaluation of the comprehensive analytical data which have been published on Nantgarw and Swansea porcelains. For the first time, the author has adopted a nondestructive technique, Raman spectroscopy, to interrogate perfect samples of Nantgarw and Swansea porcelain, as well as a selection of shardsfrom an archaeological excavation carried out at a waste dump at the Nantgarw China Works site. Following these experiments, several questions relating to the porcelain bodies of Swansea and Nantgarw china can be answered and a protocol established for the preliminary evaluation of items of suspect attribution to confirm or not the correctness of their assignment to these Welsh porcelain factories.
The title of this book describes the two extremes of ceramic invention from aesthetically beautiful and decorative works of art that graced the tables of the aristocracy to the functional silica brick that lined the smelting furnaces of industrialised nations in the 19th century designed to produce iron, copper and glass. Both of these ceramics are linked to one man, William Weston Young (1776-1847) and with his contemporaries both of these ceramic extremes became world leaders in their own right. The book traces the history of Young and his ambitions, his interactions with numerous associates and the influence these ceramics attained in 19th century society. The book provides a sequel to the two preceding texts on Nantgarw and Swansea porcelains (also published by Springer), which cover one extreme and extends the discourse onto the other extreme, which until now has been relatively ignored despite its scientific and engineering importance. The trilogyhas now therefore been completed. This book examines the historical documentation along with scientific analytical data from the last 100 years up to the present in a novel holistic forensic approach.It will be of interest to porcelain collectors, ceramics analysts, museum ceramic curators, ceramic historians, analytical scientists, cultural heritage preservation, industrial archaeologists and industrial museums.
This book addresses the contributions made by analytical chemistry to the characterisation of 18th and early 19th Century English and Welsh porcelains commencing with the earliest reports of Sir Arthur Church and of Herbert Eccles and Bernard Rackham using chemical digestion techniques and concluding with the most recent instrumental experiments, which together span more than a hundred years of study. From the earliest experiments which required necessarily the sacrifice of significant portions of each specimen, which may already have been damaged , to the latest experiments which needed only microsampling or the non-destructive interrogation of valuable perfect specimens a comprehensive survey is undertaken of more than twenty manufactories of quality porcelains. The correlation is made between the quantitative elemental oxide determinations of the scanning electron microscopic diffraction and Xray fluorescence data and the qualitative molecular spectroscopic Raman data to demonstrate their complementarity and use in the holistic forensic assessment of the origin of the fired procelains ; this will form the groundwork for the adoption of analytical techniques for the attribution of unknown or questionable procelains to their potential source factories . The book will also examine the perception of what constitutes a porcelain and its definitions and examines the assignment of porcelains to types which currently employs the definitions of hard paste , soft paste , hybrid , magnesian and bone china from the conclusions derived from the analytical data and a consideration of the raw materials employed in their manufacturing processes. During the discussion of this analytical evidence several themes and protocols have been established for its utilisation in the potential identification of porcelains and several case studies undertaken for this purpose are cited. The book will be of interest toanalytical scientists , to museum ceramics curators and to ceramics historians.

The material for this book arose from the author’s research into porcelains over many years, as a collector in appreciation of their artistic beauty , as an analytical chemist in the scientific interrogation of their body paste, enamel pigments and glaze compositions, and as a ceramic historian in the assessment of their manufactory foundations and their correlation with available documentation relating to their recipes and formulations. A discussion of the role of analysis in the framework of a holistic assessment of artworks and specifically the composition of porcelain, namely hard paste, soft paste, phosphatic, bone china and magnesian, is followed by its growth from its beginnings in China to its importation into Europe in the 16th Century. A survey of European porcelain manufactories in the 17th and 18th Centuries is followed by a description of the raw materials, minerals and recipes for porcelain manufacture and details of thechemistry of the high temperature firing processes involved therein. The historical backgrounds to several important European factories are considered, highlighting the imperfections in the written record that have been perpetuated through the ages. The analytical chemical information derived from the interrogation of specimens, from fragments, shards or perfect finished items, is reviewed and operational protocols established for the identification of a factory output from the data presented. Several case studies are examined in detail across several porcelain manufactories to indicate the role adopted by modern analytical science, with information provided at the quantitative elemental oxide and qualitative molecular spectroscopic levels, where applicable. The attribution of a specimen to a particular factory is either supported thereby or in some cases a potential reassessment of an earlier attribution is indicated. Overall, the information provided by analytical chemical data is seen to be extremely useful for porcelain identification and for its potential attribution in the context of a holistic forensic evaluation of hitherto unknown porcelain exemplars of questionable factory origins.
