Following their first contentious meeting, Special Agent Jake Carbine and Agent Liz Young seem unlikely co-workers ... but things change when an 86-year-old scientist is brutally murdered in Plattsburgh, NY and Agent Young asks the obvious question, Why would anyone go to such extreme measures to kill an elderly scientist? The modus operandi of the Plattsburgh murder seems similar to a case in Paris where a popular right-wing French presidential candidate was brutally assassinated. These two murders, on opposite sides of the Atlantic, unite Carbine and Young with Interpol agent Anaka Donnatello. At first the cases appear to be the work of a cult but that is where the similarity ends. And the Entity has a special prey in its sights ... the tenacious Agent Young. The Entity is a fast-paced and highly original political thriller. There is dark and light in every breathless chapter ... and when the denouement finally arrives, there is still a twist in the tale.
You have never read a book like On a Hidden Field, the public attempt to save America from America by telling it the future. Originally written in 1976, re-written in1992 and first copy written and submitted in 2003; all the predictions were made available to a worldwide audience including film executives in Hollywood years before the events came true. No one listened. Laughed at and chastised for their unusual beliefs, style, and passions, they did posses skills and brilliance beyond belief and either calculated, predicted or saw the future; and however it was done, it was accurate and remains undisputed.
When Audrey Peterson walks into church feeling the need to purge past sins, she sees Pastor Raymond Dickerson and is immediately put off by his striking good looks. She unfairly assumes that he must be one of those hypocritical preachers, the kind that praises the Lord on Sunday and raises hell the rest of the week.As Audrey opens her heart and listens to Pastor Dickerson's sermon, she decides that her preconceived views may be wrong. There's more to the pastor than a handsome face. She feels something that she can't explain when she briefly shakes his hand upon leaving the church, and that "something" is returned by the pastor. He senses something different about Audrey from first glance. He sweats at the altar and has to brace himself before he can carry on with his sermon. He feels a connection, just like her, and finds himself turning to God for answers.At first, Raymond is unsure of what role he's to play in Audrey's life. Once he receives confirmation from God that she is to be his "help meet," he sets out to teach her about loving God and herself. He ends up being the "Joshua Man" who leads her out of the wilderness into a land of promise.
Noted astrologer and spiritual teacher Barbara Hand Clow channels the voice of Satya, a Pleiadian goddess. Satya describes the huge cosmic drama taking place simultaneously in nine dimensions, with Earth as the chosen theater. The Pleiadians are a group of enlightened beings who believe that the end of the Mayan Calendar will signal a critical leap in human evolution; the Pleiadians will be there to guide us for that leap. This shift is the coming Age of Light, and the entry of our solar system into the Photon Band and the Age of Aquarius.
American popular magazines play a role in our culture similar to that of public historians, Carolyn Kitch contends. Drawing on evidence from the pages of more than sixty magazines, including Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Black Enterprise, Ladies' Home Journal, and Reader's Digest, Kitch examines the role of journalism in creating collective memory and identity for Americans. Editorial perspectives, visual and narrative content, and the tangibility and keepsake qualities of magazines make them key repositories of American memory, Kitch argues. She discusses anniversary celebrations that assess the passage of time; the role of race in counter-memory; the lasting meaning of celebrities who are mourned in the media; cyclical representations of generational identity, from the Greatest Generation to Generation X; and anticipated memory in commemoration after crisis events such as those of September 11, 2001. Bringing a critically neglected form of journalism to the forefront, Kitch demonstrates that magazines play a special role in creating narratives of the past that reflect and inform who we are now.
