This is the second installment of the unique and extraordinary adventures of long-time insider and survivor, Janis Gillham Grady. For years, she worked as a personal assistant known as a "Commodore's Messenger" for Scientology's elusive founder, L. Ron Hubbard, who was recognized aboard his ships as "the Commodore." No books about Scientology compare to the scope of Janis' or for the meticulous detail, accuracy and depth of insight that she reveals from the epicenter of the Scientology movement. Janis was born in Australia to Scientology "royalty," the youngest child of Peter F. Gillham, the founder of internationally noted brand Natural Vitality and nutritional products such as Natural Calm and Calmag, and Yvonne Gillham-Jentzsch, founder of the Church of Scientology's Celebrity Centre. Janis' stepfather is Heber Jentzsch, known for many years as the President of the Church of Scientology International, and its primary spokesman. This book picks up where Book One ended with Janis, at age 14, along with her older brother Peter and sister Terri, all members of Scientology's inner core, the Sea Organization. Aboard the Scientology ship Apollo, Janis worked as one of the fi rst four personal messengers of Scientology leader, L. Ron Hubbard. She had a front-row seat as the ship sailed between Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, and she was privy to Hubbard's att empts to ingratiate Scientology with the Moroccan government as it faced att empted coups and brutal crackdowns. As more and more ports denied entry to the Apollo, Hubbard crossed the Atlantic to the somewhat friendlier waters of the Caribbean, though still harassed by numerous agencies including the U.S. State Department, FBI, Interpol among others. This harrowing journey takes you from October 1970 until October 1975, when L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology headquarters moved from his personal yacht to land in the United States. Commodore's Messenger: Riding Out the Storms is the second volume of the trilogy that chronicles Janis Grady's epic journey and that of Scientology's mysterious Sea Organization.

President Obama's trade policy agenda with U.S. trade representative Ron Kirk and second panel on the future of U.S. trade negotiations: hearing before the Committee on Ways and Means, U.S. House of Representatives, One Hundred Twelfth Congress, second session, February 29, 2012.
Half of the book is the science fiction thriller "Revolt in the Stars," ascribed to L. Ron Hubbard and hereby published for the first time. The other half explores the truth of the story.The Swiss engineer and researcher Andreas M. B. Gross connects the points. As an auditor and reincarnation therapist, he recognized the opportunities for historiography and archaeology to use not only physical remains and historical records but also witness accounts from those who can remember being there at the time. There are ways to separate the wheat from the chaff: fantasy from reality.Using the example of the great mass extinction of not only dinosaurs, which science dated 66 million years ago, Gross points out the possibilities that auditing offers historical research.There were already human beings and advanced civilization at that time. At the same time as the T-Rex and other dinosaurs. And there were then - just like today - corrupt politicians who wanted to establish a dictatorship and who would kill in the process. They wanted to reduce "overpopulation" and committed genocide.The iridium layer found worldwide in 1978 is evidence of the catastrophe that Hubbard described in detail as early as 1967. Memories of it can also be found in the Vedas.The film series "Star Wars" describes the same event from a different perspective. Had George Lukas been commissioned by Hubbard to make it? The similarity is too striking.

No American leader has accomplished more for his state than Governor Ron DeSantis. Now he reveals how he did it. He played baseball for Yale, graduated with honours from Harvard Law School and served in Iraq and in the halls of Congress. But in all these places, Ron DeSantis learned the same lesson: he didn’t want to be part of the leftist elite. His heart was always for the people of Florida, one of the most diverse and culturally rich states in the union. Since becoming governor of the Sunshine State, he has fought – and won – battle after battle, defeating not just opposition from the political left, but a barrage of hostile media coverage proclaiming the end of the world. In 2022, the governor delivered a historic, record-setting victory, winning by nearly 20 points and more than 1.5 million votes.
