The American voters are presented with a refreshing new political party and presidential candidate, but underneath all the glitter and promises are lies, deception and conspiracy. Jerry Hotziger, a once brilliant political consultant, has fallen out of favor with his party. The cutting edge campaign strategies that worked so well for him in the eighties have become unpopular and too controversial. Now he is broke and looking for a job. The story begins when Jerry Hotziger meets with a mysterious couple at the Watergate Hotel. They propose a plan that will ensure the re-election of their party’s presidential candidate. They offer him the turnkey project - organizing a new third party and recruiting the right presidential candidate who can be controlled and manipulated so the vote in the major opposition party is fractured. He desperately needs a job and the nearly five million dollars in securities offered him. His objective is to legitimately organize the new party and recruit the right presidential candidate using twenty million dollars in front money from “anonymous donors” who support the underlying foundation of the new party. He must carefully develop a candidate in a way so he will not draw the voters away from the real backers, but draw at least ten percent of the votes from the opposition party, thus ensuring the cause of the backers. He cleverly recruits Jason Scott Smith, a 38-year-old conservative and former unsuccessful candidate for the House of Representatives for the job, but he soon discovers the young man’s charisma has an overwhelming affect on voters in both parties. The backers are outraged by Hotziger’s apparent lack of control when it comes to directing his candidate toward certain targeted issues; they demand he put a stop to it or they will take care of it themselves.
The atom contains energy beyond all imagination and President Eisenhower’s plan was to benefit all of mankind. Once America discovered the use of atomic energy for peaceful purposes, some rather extraordinary people leaped at the opportunity capitalize from this new technology; this is their story. White Elephants is about these people and the hardships they encountered; the story of how an amazing technology became such a burden on our nation through the trials of these not so ordinary men and women who built the White Elephants we call our nuclear power plants.
Every speaker, teacher, or preacher has on some occasion encountered an audience that was unreceptive to what he or she had to say. One response to such communication breakdowns given by both the Old Testament prophets and New Testament authors was to declare that the hearers "have hardened their hearts to the message" or that "God has hardened them." What is this hardness-of-heart phenomenon? Who became hardened and why? Was it a result of some "deficiency" in communication? What were the consequences of such a disposition? Is there any hope for a change of perspective for those hardened? In this concise and carefully argued volume, Charles Puskas considers all the key texts relating to human obstinacy towards God in pursuit of answers to these questions.
