Black Muslims and the Law: Civil Liberties From Elijah Muhammad to Muhammad Ali examines the Nation of Islam’s quest for civil liberties as what might arguably be called the inaugural and first sustained challenge to the suppression of religious freedom in African American legal history. Borrowing insights from A. Leon Higgonbotham Jr.’s classic works on American slavery jurisprudence, Black Muslims and the Law reveals the Nation of Islam’s strategic efforts to engage governmental officials from a position of power, and suggests the federal executive, congressmen, judges, lawyers, law enforcement officials, prison administrators, state governments, and African American civic leaders held a common understanding of what it meant to be and not to be African American and religious in the period between World War II and the Vietnam War. The work raises basic questions about the rights of African descended people to define god, question white moral authority, and critique the moral legitimacy of American war efforts according to their own beliefs and standards.
Few cities have undergone such a radical transformation over the last few decades as Birmingham. Culturally and architecturally, it has been in a state of perpetual flux and regeneration, with new communities moving in, then out, and iconic post-war landmarks making way for brighter-coloured, 21st century flourishes. Much like the city itself, the characters in the stories gathered here are often living through moments of profound change, closing in on a personal or societal turning point, that carries as much threat as it does promise. Set against key moments of history – from Malcolm X’s visit to Smethwick in 1965, to the Handsworth riots two decades later, from the demise of the city’s manufacturing in the 70s and 80s, to the on-going tensions between communities in recent years – these stories celebrate the cultural dynamism that makes this complex, often divided ‘second city’ far more than just the sum of its parts.

The Cold War has ended. With a scope and daring not possible until now, an unlikely international alliance of top-level political, financial, and religious interests sees the way clear at last to its ultimate goal: the establishment of a single global society. Utopia. These are men with nothing in common but immense power and a towering ambition for still more. With world unity and prosperity as their slogan--and with betrayal, scandal, and murder as their ready weapons--they have the means and the will to capture as their own the perfect global machinery for their plans: the oldest, wiliest, and most stable political chancery in the world--the Vatican. At the vortex of this lethal struggle stands the embattled Pope, a geopolitical genius whose elimination is the short-term solution to a long-term goal, and two American brothers, Paul and Christian Gladstone, one a lawyer and the other a priest, who appear to be the perfect pawns. One falls prey to the sharp teeth of greed for power. The other will become one of the Slavic Pontiff's closest allies...and will discover the darkest secrets at the very heart of papal Rome. From America to Europe to Russia, in broad landscapes and clandestine corridors, a rich and varied cast--presidents and politicos, simple saints and savvy sinners, popes and pope-makers--clash with one another amid dramatic and sometimes bloody events that will affect the destiny of every person alive today.

The whole world has been terrorized and we wallow in terrible fear of getting sick. We placed our faith in medicine and now we pray for redemption. That's why our police kidnap the sick and send them to the furnaces. After we conquered a return of the Black Death, our scientists celebrated the triumph of modern medicine and the awesome power of antibiotics. But our bodies became weaker and the bugs became stronger and soon they were immune to anything our doctors could throw at them. It wasn't long until just the right conditions, high mercury levels in our food to be precise, came along and gave the super germs the breeding grounds for the elimination of the human race. That's what's happening to the United States; that's what happening to my family. First, Dad went missing, presumably dead overseas, then Mom caught the common cold and the Sanitary Police came and took her. Now I'm all alone. And I'm tired of wasting away, day-by-day, waiting for my turn to fall ill and be taken to the incinerators. I've decided I'm going to rescue her, even if it means the death of all of us. She deserves it. I deserve it. And the whole world deserves another chance to live. A short story.

Vejosac By: Malachi Issac "Jacob Dover has come to the realization one night that his life may never mean anything more than the mass that creates a somewhat unique lump on his almost old mattress that he lays on and will never mean anything more to anyone. Though the night he accepts this harsh fact, an incredibly beautiful woman appears in his room and not only claims to be a succubus, but the mother of his child, who has become the self proclaimed antichrist and plans the kill the world and grant him an excruciating death for reasons not yet disclosed. Jacob then understands the fact that some nights are better spent asleep rather than staying up and relapsing unto his depressive thoughts.
In 1969, an eruption of armed violence traumatized Northern Ireland and transformed a period of street protest over civil rights into decades of paramilitary warfare by republicans and loyalists. In this evocative memoir, Malachi O'Doherty not only recounts his experiences of living through the Troubles, but also recalls a revolution in his lifetime. However, it wasn't the bloody revolution that was shown on TV but rather the slow reshaping of the culture of Northern Ireland - a real revolution that was entirely overshadowed by the conflict. Incorporating interviews with political, professional and paramilitary figures, O'Doherty draws a profile of an era that produced real social change, comparing and contrasting it with today, and asks how frail is the current peace as Brexit approaches, protest is back on the streets and violence is simmering in both republican and loyalist camps.
In The Jesuits, Malachi Martin reveals for the first time the harrowing behind-the-scenes story of the "new" worldwide Society of Jesus.

The Jesuits tells a true story of today that is already changing the face of all our tomorrows.
To be both visionary and accurate, true to physics and metaphysics at the same time, is rare and puts the poet in some rarefied company. Black, like a few other younger poets, is willing to include all the traditional effects of the lyric poem in his work, but he has set them going in new and lively ways, with the confidence of virtuosity and a belief in the ancient pleasures of pattern and repetition."—Mark Jarman, American Poet Lush and daring, Malachi Black's poems in Storm Toward Morning press all points along the spectrum of human positions, from sickness, isolation, and insomniac disarray to serenity, wonder, and spiritual yearning. Pulsing at the intersections of "eye and I," body and mind, physical and metaphysical, Black brings distinctive voice, vision, and music to matters of universal mortal concern. Query on Typography What is the light inside the opening of every letter: white behind the angles is a language bright because a curvature of space inside a line is visible is script a sign of what it does or does not occupy scripture the covenant of eye and I with word or what the word defines which is source and which is shrine the light of body or the light behind? Malachi Black holds a BA in literature from New York University and an MFA in creative writing from the University of Texas at Austin’s Michener Center for Writers. His poems have appeared in AGNI, Boston Review, Ploughshares, and Poetry. He currently teaches at the University of San Diego and lives in California.
In the Gospels of the Bible there are a few comments about Mary Magdalene here and there. But in the Gnostic scriptures that have been discovered, there are tantalizing hints that both her relationship to Jesus and her role among Jesus' disciples may have been profoundly important. Among several schools of Gnostic Christianity, Mary plays an essential role in the revelation of the gospel. Here, for the first time in print, is a Sophian Gospel of St. Mary Magdalene. No secret oral tradition as extensive as this has ever been recorded, and none has ever presented a Gnostic view of Mary Magdalene as she is portrayed in this groundbreaking work—as a powerful holy woman, the innermost disciple and beloved wife of Jesus, and a Christed woman who is coequal with Jesus in the Christ revelation.
Only Malachi Martin, consummate Vatican insider and intelligence expert, could reveal the untold story behind the Vatican's role in today's winner-take-all race against time to establish, maintain, and control the first one-world government. * Will America lead the way to the new world order? * Is Pope John Paul II winning the battle for faith? * Is the breakup of the Soviet empire masking Gorbachev's worldwide agenda? The Keys of This Blood is a book of stunning geopolitical revelations. It presents a compelling array of daring blueprints for global power, and one of them is the portrait of the future.

THE LAST DAYS ARE NOW! Home Owners vs. The Beast! Head-Of-Antichrist! & Home of Antichrists By: Bonnell Leon Patrick- Known as Malachi! The Messenger On this Earth, everyone has a reason for being. But after reading Patrick’s positive outlook and inspiring words, he proves that it is very easy to see your reason for being once you know the truth. This book is like a guide on how to get to heaven, which is not as easy as many of you think. The Messenger: Who told you that only God forgives? I tell you the truth; “If you don’t forgive others for the wrong they do to you and others, our father in heaven will not forgive you. The only thing that any of us should really be talking about or reading about or bragging about is God, not Man! So telling you about my battle with the world shouldn’t be any difference than your battle with the world! But if your battles is different! It’s only because you’re trying to serve both God and money. But wanting to play gods is what made this world and man, unacceptable to God! The bible say bow down to no man. Yesterday & the past Yesterday: there was only one God. Yesterday: God created man in his image. Yesterday: the church was a human body. Yesterday: God made a covenant with his people and made it his law. Yesterday: God’s people gave ten percent for tithes and offerings to forgive their sin. Yesterday: God’s people paid with the blood of animals, because they’re innocent! Just like children who carry no sin. Yesterday: our Lord Jesus Christ was the last of the sacrifice. Yesterday: we played, laughed, cried, sing and prayed together, no matter how bad things got, love always kept us together. Yesterday: God freed us from slavery and took us to the land of milk and honey, so we can be fruitful and live free just like our creator, until the coming of Christ. He became out God and we became his people. Yesterday: we made a vow, “Not only to each other, but also to God! And not for a day, but till deaths do us part. A family that fears God, live only for God! This world is God enemies. Today & the future Today: the world claims many Today: we all became devils Today: the church is a bunch of buildings Today: Satan made a covenant with his people that changed God’s law. Today: Satan trick the whole world into paying for sins Jesus already paid for. Today: Satan people still pay with money, because they chose money to be their God. They have you believing, a good life is a sinful life. Today: Satan will take another life! Everyday will be many sacrifices. Today: no one is faithful to God or each other. We lie, cheat, steal, rob and murder each other. Love today is a thing of the past. Today: we become slaves once again! To men’s the world chose to play gods, male and female. God’s people now living on land where they fight to be equal and free to worship other gods. Our Disobedience made us children of Satan? But Today: You say you hate me! And I rape you! Because you found someone older, younger, and better. The bible says the devil is never satisfied, and that he also a liar! So! Who are u? Our Action Speak Louder than Words, Yesterday and Today
