Smoke, Mirrors, and Chains

America's First Continuing Criminal Enterprise

By: Larry Kenneth Alexander

Blacks born in colonial America were Englishmen with an inalienable right to liberty under Britain's rule of law and those who purported to be slavemasters were criminals. The product of graft -slavery was America's first continuing criminal enterprise. However, with Lord Chief Justice Mansfield's utterance in 1772, "...Let justice be done although the heavens fall..." - a freedom trial of a slave named James Somerset and then Britain highest court's declaration that slavery was unconstitutional, America's thirteen colonies exploded into rebellion. Myths developed to shield the founding generation and were used to further nationalist chauvinism. In 1779, Britain repudiated colonial lawlessness and in committing itself to the restoration of the rule of law tradition - unconditionally freed all black slaves. And "...most strictly forbid any Person to sell or claim Right over any NEGROE (sic)..." Four years later, the U.S. sued for peace and by treaty agreed to "set at liberty" all British subjects; but reneged and relegated 500,000 black British subjects into slavery. The U.S. exploited legally free British subjects - in derogation of international law. The slavery narrative has overthrown U.S. history and racial chauvinism is nothing more than victim-blaming. The significance of the Somerset decision - America'first emancipation of slaves has escaped telling. Told with all the power and drama of a novel, Smoke, Mirrors, and Chains: America's First Continuing Criminal Enterprise is an extraordinary account of pulse-pounding human drama defined by criminal enslavement, political intrigue and raw human achievement.

Philosophical Tools for Technological Culture

Putting Pragmatism to Work

By: Larry A. Hickman

Hickman['s] . . . style of pragmatism provides us with flexible, philosophical 'tools' which can be used to analyze and penetrate various technology and technological cultural problems of the present. He, himself, uses this toolkit to make his analyses and succeeds very well indeed." —Don Ihde A practical and comprehensive appraisal of the value of philosophy in today's technological culture. Philosophical Tools for Technological Culture contends that technology—a defining mark of contemporary culture—should be a legitimate concern of philosophers. Larry A. Hickman contests the perception that philosophy is little more than a narrow academic discipline and that philosophical discourse is merely redescription of the ancient past. Drawing inspiration from John Dewey, one of America's greatest public philosophers, Hickman validates the role of philosophers as cultural critics and reformers in the broadest sense. Hickman situates Dewey's critique of technological culture within the debates of 20th-century Western philosophy by engaging the work of Richard Rorty, Albert Borgmann, Jacques Ellul, Walter Benjamin, Jürgen Habermas, and Martin Heidegger, among others. Pushing beyond their philosophical concerns, Hickman designs and assembles a set of philosophical tools to cope with technological culture in a new century. His pragmatic treatment of current themes—such as technology and its relationship to the arts, technosciences and technocrats, the role of the media in education, and the meaning of democracy and community life in an age dominated by technology—reveals that philosophy possesses powerful tools for cultural renewal. This original, timely, and accessible work will be of interest to readers seeking a deeper understanding of the meanings and consequences of technology in today's world.

On This Rock I Will Build My Temple

Return to My Mountain

By: Larry Jiracek

Man's plans and God's plans seldom match up. Example: man wants to rebuild the original temple on the original site. One problem, something is occupying that location, only the second holiest site in the Muslim faith (Dome of the Rock). By using the fog of war, a top secret plan of the Israeli government can have this problem removed. Plus give them the ordained right to reconstruct the temple. Before this plan can be put in to action, several things need to line up. First, the temple cannot be constructed until the priesthood has been established. This would require someone to be selected as a high priest. Second, a large amount of gold will be required to reconstruct all the furnishings required to be placed in the temple. This amount is so far above what the Israeli government has. Third, will the construction of the temple be justification to start a third world war? The most important piece of all, to make the temple real, it needs to have the real Ark. Not just a wooden box resembling the description of the Ark. But it must be able to display the power that only the Ark can produce. The ending of the first book, the temple is built and the Ark is placed back in the Holy of Holies. But now God's plan as a few changes to make. "Return to My Mountain" is the command that the angel Metatron gives to the high priest. To return the Ark back to the sacred mountain in man's mind is a simple command. Now the rest the story, he must also bring twelve leaders of the major religions back to the mountain. Here, God will give them new and final laws to live by.

Impressed by Light

British Photographs from Paper Negatives, 1840-1860

By: Roger Taylor,Larry John Schaaf

Photography emerged in 1839 in two forms simultaneously. In France, Louis Daguerre produced photographs on silvered sheets of copper, while in Great Britain, William Henry Fox Talbot put forward a method of capturing an image on ordinary writing paper treated with chemicals. Talbot’s invention, a paper negative from which any number of positive prints could be made, became the progenitor of virtually all photography carried out before the digital age. Talbot named his perfected invention "calotype," a term based on the Greek word for beauty. Calotypes were characterized by a capacity for subtle tonal distinctions, massing of light and shadow, and softness of detail. In the 1840s, amateur photographers in Britain responded with enthusiasm to the challenges posed by the new medium. Their subjects were wide-ranging, including landscapes and nature studies, architecture, and portraits. Glass-negative photography, which appeared in 1851, was based on the same principles as the paper negative but yielded a sharper picture, and quickly gained popularity. Despite the rise of glass negatives in commercial photography, many gentlemen of leisure and learning continued to use paper negatives into the 1850s and 1860s. These amateurs did not seek the widespread distribution and international reputation pursued by their commercial counterparts, nearly all of whom favored glass negatives. As a result, many of these calotype works were produced in a small number of prints for friends and fellow photographers or for a family album. This richly illustrated, landmark publication tells the first full history of the calotype, embedding it in the context of Britain’s changing fortunes, intricate class structure, ever-growing industrialization, and the new spirit under Queen Victoria. Of the 118 early photographs presented here in meticulously printed plates, many have never before been published or exhibited.

Chasing the Frontier

Scotch-Irish in Early America

By: Larry J Hoefling

The story of the Scots-Irish is one of the struggles and achievements of an American immigrant group that existed for only a short period, whose descendants continued to make their marks on the young country for generations. From the North of Ireland to the backwoods of the American frontier, the tale of the Scots-Irish includes a massive exodus to the New World, where they founded communities in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, and the Irish Tract of North Carolina during the Revolutionary War era. Containing nearly six thousand names of documented settlers of the primarily Scots-Irish settlements of Virginia and North Carolina, Chasing The Frontier includes materials from church records, military records, early wills and deeds, and newspapers of the time. For the frontier families, life was a daily test of endurance and hardship, but the Scots-Irish also found time for horseracing, gambling, and socializing, and the migration of this hardy race and the lure of the frontiers of Kentucky and Tennessee led to the founding of churches and state charters, and elections to some of the highest offices in the country. Chasing the Frontier is a snapshot of everyday life for the pioneering Scots-Irish in early America.

Unequal Democracy

The Political Economy of the New Gilded Age - Second Edition

By: Larry M. Bartels

An acclaimed examination of how the American political system favors the wealthy—now fully revised and expanded The first edition of Unequal Democracy was an instant classic, shattering illusions about American democracy and spurring scholarly and popular interest in the political causes and consequences of escalating economic inequality. This revised, updated, and expanded second edition includes two new chapters on the political economy of the Obama era. One presents the Great Recession as a "stress test" of the American political system by analyzing the 2008 election and the impact of Barack Obama's "New New Deal" on the economic fortunes of the rich, middle class, and poor. The other assesses the politics of inequality in the wake of the Occupy Wall Street movement, the 2012 election, and the partisan gridlock of Obama’s second term. Larry Bartels offers a sobering account of the barriers to change posed by partisan ideologies and the political power of the wealthy. He also provides new analyses of tax policy, partisan differences in economic performance, the struggle to raise the minimum wage, and inequalities in congressional representation. President Obama identified inequality as "the defining challenge of our time." Unequal Democracy is the definitive account of how and why our political system has failed to rise to that challenge. Now more than ever, this is a book every American needs to read.

King’S Native Sons

Lies, Lessons and Legacies

By: Larry Kenneth Alexander

Chattel slavery in colonial America was an attack upon dynastic rule. The shot heard around the world was not a musket shot fired in April 1775. Rather, it was the verdict of Englands Supreme Court that slavery is an odious scheme and not authorized under Englands rule of law in June 1772. Englands traditions and rule of law were immutableit was truly a nation of laws and not of men. Depriving native sons of liberty at birth was unconstitutional. Colonial chattel slave practices were criminal enterprises, and Queen Charlotte, the wife of Englands King George the Third, recognized it as a threat to her son the Prince of Waless ascension to the British throne due to her obvious and much talked-about African heritage. Englands Queen Charlotte was black under the black codes one-drop rule, and she knew that if black native sons could lose their birthrights, though the rule of law declares them to be Englishmen, that pretenders to the kings throne might challenge her sons birthright. The queen concerned herself with great interest in the habeas corpus case of a colony of Virginia-born black named James Somersett. The significance of the Somersett habeas corpus case was Englands emancipation of its slaves has escaped telling. Told with all the power and drama of a novel, Kings Native Sons: Lies, Lessons and Legacies is an extraordinary account of a pulse-pounding human drama framed by political intrigue and raw human emotions (Larry Kenneth Alexander, cultural theorist).

Truth, Error, and Criminal Law

An Essay in Legal Epistemology

By: Larry Laudan

Beginning with the premise that the principal function of a criminal trial is to find out the truth about a crime, Larry Laudan examines the rules of evidence and procedure that would be appropriate if the discovery of the truth were, as higher courts routinely claim, the overriding aim of the criminal justice system. Laudan mounts a systematic critique of existing rules and procedures that are obstacles to that quest. He also examines issues of error distribution by offering the first integrated analysis of the various mechanisms - the standard of proof, the benefit of the doubt, the presumption of innocence and the burden of proof - for implementing society's view about the relative importance of the errors that can occur in a trial.

Engineering in the Confederate Heartland

Engineering in the Confederate Heartland

By: Larry J. Daniel

While engineers played a critical role in the performance of both the Union and Confederate armies during the Civil War, few historians have examined their experiences or impact. Larry J. Daniel’s Engineering in the Confederate Heartland fills a gap in that historiography by analyzing the accomplishments of these individuals working for the Confederacy in the vast region between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River, commonly referred to as the Western Theater. Though few in number, the members of the western engineer corps were vital in implementing Confederate strategy and tactics. Most Confederate engineers possessed little to no military training, transitioning from the civilian tasks of water drainage, railroad construction, and land surveys to overseeing highly technical war-related projects. Their goal was simple in mission but complex in implementation: utilize their specialized skills to defeat, or at least slow, the Union juggernaut. The geographical diversity of the Heartland further complicated their charge. The expansive area featured elevations reaching over six thousand feet, sandstone bluffs cut by running valleys on the Cumberland Plateau, the Nashville basin’s thick cedar glades and rolling farmland, and the wind-blown silt soil of the Loess Plains of the Mississippi Valley. Regardless of the topography, engineers encountered persistent flooding in all sectors. Daniel’s study challenges the long-held thesis that the area lacked adept professionals. Engineers’ expertise and labor, especially in the construction of small bridges and the laying of pontoons, often proved pivotal. Lacking sophisticated equipment and technical instruments, they nonetheless achieved numerous successes: the Union army never breached the defenses at Vicksburg or Atlanta, and by late 1864, the Army of Tennessee boasted a pontoon train sufficient to span the Tennessee River. Daniel uncovers these and other essential contributions to the war effort made by the Confederacy’s western engineers.

Social Power

Biblical Keys

By: Larry Pahl

Social Power: Biblical Keys extracts ancient guidelines from the Bible in the area of human social relations. From the book\'s Introduction: \"Social power, like mental power, physical power or spiritual power, is neither good nor evil by itself. Einsteins can make nuclear reactors which efficiently serve the power needs of entire communities, but they can also craft nuclear bombs; Samsons can tear down the gates of the enemy and but can also flex their muscles late into the night with the wrong girl; and for every Gandhi leading people to use spiritual energy self-denyingly there\'s a Hitler leading people to hate. Therefore the laws that govern Social Power, the ability to win friends and influence people, are best served when used altruistically. If one¿s motives are not pure then one¿s social power will be a species of selfish demagoguery... True Social Power then, is the best use of divine laws and human talent for developing optimal social relations.

Home and Church Bible Study Commentaries from the Book of Genesis

By: Larry D. Alexander

The purpose of biblical theology is to make known, GOD's sovereignty over all things. The specified purpose of the book of Genesis is to take us back beyond the pages of recorded history, and reveal to us, the very origins of the universe, and the human race itself. The thrust of the message of this book is to help us to understand, who we are, where we came from, and how that search for those answers must begin and end with GOD.

The Enlightenment of Thomas Beddoes

Science, Medicine, and Reform

By: Trevor Levere,Larry Stewart,Hugh Torrens,Joseph Wachelder

Thomas Beddoes (1760-1808) lived in ‘decidedly interesting times’ in which established orders in politics and science were challenged by revolutionary new ideas. Enthusiastically participating in the heady atmosphere of Enlightenment debate, Beddoes' career suffered from his radical views on politics and science. Denied a professorship at Oxford, he set up a medical practice in Bristol in 1793. Six years later - with support from a range of leading industrialists and scientists including the Wedgwoods, Erasmus Darwin, James Watt, James Keir and others associated with the Lunar Society - he established a Pneumatic Institution for investigating the therapeutic effects of breathing different kinds of ‘air’ on a wide spectrum of diseases. The treatment of the poor, gratis, was an important part of the Pneumatic Institution and Beddoes, who had long concerned himself with their moral and material well-being, published numerous pamphlets and small books about their education, wretched material circumstances, proper nutrition, and the importance of affordable medical facilities. Beddoes’ democratic political concerns reinforced his belief that chemistry and medicine should co-operate to ameliorate the conditions of the poor. But those concerns also polarized the medical profession and the wider community of academic chemists and physicians, many of whom became mistrustful of Beddoes’ projects due to his radical politics. Highlighting the breadth of Beddoes’ concerns in politics, chemistry, medicine, geology, and education (including the use of toys and models), this book reveals how his reforming and radical zeal were exemplified in every aspect of his public and professional life, and made for a remarkably coherent program of change. He was frequently a contrarian, but not without cause, as becomes apparent once he is viewed in the round, as part of the response to the politics and social pressures of the late Enlightenment.

It Takes a Counter-Revolution

Wake Up America!

By: Larry Klayman Esq.

With a title that again satirically mocks It Takes a Village by Hillary Clinton, It Takes a Counter-Revolution: Wake Up America! is the sequel to It Takes a Revolution: Forget the Scandal Industry!, as the nation has now been wholly taken over by the radical left. Like Revolution, this book details how our executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government have become thoroughly corrupt and failed the citizenry, but offers new and more drastic solutions given the deepening crises that have—in the last year alone—enmeshed the republic in a march to socialism, communism, atheism, and godless radical leftist ideologies of all types. Emphasizing again that Americans must turn away from the “scandal industry” of the cable news networks, which enrich themselves by magnifying crises—if not creating mass panic to boost ratings and advertising dollars—the author Larry Klayman, the founder of both Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, now advocates for declaring independence from our current government, which he chronicles as terminally ill, after experiencing and suffering the corrosive, destructive effects of the Biden-Harris regime. Quoting Founding Fathers like John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, Klayman argues that the people must harken back to July 4, 1776, when under the laws of nature and Nature’s God—rather than the laws of the state—the colonies, faced with a king far less harmful than our present rulers, were left with no choice but to declare and form a new nation. What we now need, Klayman argues, is not a new nation, but a new government, with new righteous leaders and new political parties, offering an alternative to the citizenry over what now rules over them in a virtual leftist dictatorship, with little to no sincere and honest Republican opposition. This work is a call to arms during these times of crises, when government deceit, exploitation, corruption, and dictatorial control over the people have created a virtual noose around our collective necks. The overriding message of It Takes a Counter-Revolution: Wake Up America! is that Americans must stop wishfully hoping for the best, get up off of the couch, take calculated risks, and actively join the counter-revolution—albeit a peaceful and legal one—to restore the liberty that once made our nation great. Our continued existence as a once God-fearing and free republic now hangs in the balance, with no time to lose!

What Would the Founders Say?

A Patriot's Answers to America's Most Pressing Problems

By: Larry Schweikart

The #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of A Patriot's History of the United States examines ten current challenges. America is at a crossroads. We face two options: continue our descent toward big government, higher taxes, less individual liberty, and more debt or pull our country back on the path our Founding Fathers planned for us. But that path isn't always so easy to see. Following the success of his previous books, conservative historian Larry Schweikart tackles some of the key issues confronting our nation today: education, government bailouts, gun control, health care, the environment, and more. For each he asks, "What would the founders say?" and sets out to explore our history and offer wisdom to help us get back on track. What would really be compatible with the vision that Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and the other founders had for America? Written in Schweikart's informal yet informative style, What Would the Founders Say? is sure to delight his fans and anyone looking for a little clarity on tough issues.

Bullets, Ballots, and Rhetoric

Confederate States Policy for the United States Presidential Contest

By: Larry E. Nelson

Aspirations to "whoop" the North notwithstanding, Confederates set their hopes for independence not on the belief that they could defeat the North but on the hope that their armies could stave off defeat long enough for the North to weary of war. The South's single biggest opportunity to effect political change in the North was the presidential contest of 1864. If Lincoln's support foundered and the North elected a president with a more flexible vision of peace on the continent, the South might realize its dream of independence. In Bullets, Ballots, and Rhetoric, Larry Nelson vividly brings to life the complex state of Northern politics during the election year of 1863. He recounts fluctuations in the value of the dollar, draft resistance and riots, protests against emancipation, political defeats suffered by the Republicans in the elections of 1862, and growing discontent in the border states and Midwest. Nelson offers an insider's look at the administration of Jefferson Davis, as it looked for cracks in Northern unity and electoral opportunities to exploit. Bullets, Ballots, and Rhetoric is an engrossing account of a little-known facet of Civil War statecraft and politics.

Democracy for Realists

Why Elections Do Not Produce Responsive Government

By: Christopher H. Achen,Larry M. Bartels

Why our belief in government by the people is unrealistic—and what we can do about it Democracy for Realists assails the romantic folk-theory at the heart of contemporary thinking about democratic politics and government, and offers a provocative alternative view grounded in the actual human nature of democratic citizens. Christopher Achen and Larry Bartels deploy a wealth of social-scientific evidence, including ingenious original analyses of topics ranging from abortion politics and budget deficits to the Great Depression and shark attacks, to show that the familiar ideal of thoughtful citizens steering the ship of state from the voting booth is fundamentally misguided. They demonstrate that voters—even those who are well informed and politically engaged—mostly choose parties and candidates on the basis of social identities and partisan loyalties, not political issues. They also show that voters adjust their policy views and even their perceptions of basic matters of fact to match those loyalties. When parties are roughly evenly matched, elections often turn on irrelevant or misleading considerations such as economic spurts or downturns beyond the incumbents' control; the outcomes are essentially random. Thus, voters do not control the course of public policy, even indirectly. Achen and Bartels argue that democratic theory needs to be founded on identity groups and political parties, not on the preferences of individual voters. Now with new analysis of the 2016 elections, Democracy for Realists provides a powerful challenge to conventional thinking, pointing the way toward a fundamentally different understanding of the realities and potential of democratic government.

Murder and Mayhem

The War of Reconstruction in Texas

By: James Smallwood,Barry A. Crouch,Larry Peacock

In the states of the former Confederacy, Reconstruction amounted to a second Civil War, one that white southerners were determined to win. An important chapter in that undeclared conflict played out in northeast Texas, in the Corners region where Grayson, Fannin, Hunt, and Collin Counties converged. Part of that violence came to be called the Lee-Peacock Feud, a struggle in which Unionists led by Lewis Peacock and former Confederates led by Bob Lee sought to even old scores, as well as to set the terms of the new South, especially regarding the status of freed slaves. Until recently, the Lee-Peacock violence has been placed squarely within the Lost Cause mythology. This account sets the record straight. For Bob Lee, a Confederate veteran, the new phase of the war began when he refused to release his slaves. When Federal officials came to his farm in July to enforce emancipation, he fought back and finally fled as a fugitive. In the relatively short time left to his life, he claimed personally to have killed at least forty people--civilian and military, Unionists and freedmen. Peacock, a dedicated leader of the Unionist efforts, became his primary target and chief foe. Both men eventually died at the hands of each other's supporters. From previously untapped sources in the National Archives and other records, the authors have tracked down the details of the Corners violence and the larger issues it reflected, adding to the reinterpretation of Reconstruction history and rescuing from myth events that shaped the following century of Southern politics.
