FBI special agent, Francis A. Giordano, seemed to have the world in the palms of his hands, until 9/11 happened, and all he knew was jeopardized. Following the attack, he was wrongfully accused of mismanaging important FBI information, necessary in the defense of the United States. Questionable political maneuvers played a significant role in his demotion and relocation from Washington, D.C., to a lessor post in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Employment in Grand Rapids was an unlikely place for him to regain his reputation, clear his good name, and seek advancement. However, Giordano will eventually find, he has been transferred into a hotbed of terrorist activity that leads not only to death and destruction but also deceit beyond his wildest imagination.About the Author:John W.

In this third and last installment of the Morpheus Trilogy, W. E. Gutman heeds the dream maker's entreaty to "wake up, go beyond the dreams, and remind [the reader] of the paradoxes, the aberrations, the deceptions, and the monstrosities that define man and mark the human condition." Calling for the overthrow of false prophets and demagogues, a mission he considers time-sensitive and long overdue, he warns that the greatest obstacle to wisdom is not ignorance but the illusion that we know it all.About the Author:Born in Paris, W.

Peter Gibilisco's aim in this book is to affirm vital principles that must be better understood and implemented if the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is going to be of benefit and fulfill its mandate; so that care doesn't become careless. He wants to encourage people to keep on pushing the case for disability justice! His book is aimed at those providing a service to people with disabilities with high support needs. He wants to address all who are involved in disability care: professionals, social workers and especially those managing facilities that look after communities and groups of people. Peter is giving himself a wide focus in this book, and his aim is not to win a fight, but to present a case.Professional Reviews:"Peter Gibilisco writes of his experience living with a disability and fighting for his rights. It is a remarkable insight into the frustrations of dealing with bureaucracies for those with disabilities. Peter describes his experiences and his views on how the lives of those with a disability can be improved by changing processes and removing barriers."- Prof. Martin Delatycki, Med. Dir., Victorian Clinical Genetics Services, Dir. Friedreich Ataxia Clinic, Monash Medical Centre, Co-Dir., Murdoch Children's Research Institute"This book will strike a chord with people who have disabilities everywhere, especially those with severe physical disabilities living in shared supported accommodation facilities. With great intelligence and integrity it describes the mental torture associated with a disintegration of control and individuality worsened by factors as fundamental as a lack of empathy and continuity in the caring relationship. It gives voice to serious shortcomings in a system that is failing many in the provision of truly individualised care."- Jenny Williams, BA BSW MSW, Social Worker, Friedreich Ataxia Clinic, Monash Medical Centre"This book is another significant contribution from Dr Peter Gibilisco to the ongoing struggle for social, political and economic justice in the context of people with disability. Mobilising a sociological worldview, Peter Gibilisco draws on his personal experiences, as well as the experiences and insights of others, to highlight profound policy and structural challenges and constraints in the disability sector, and in society more broadly, that impact negatively on people with disability. At the same time, he provides important insights into pathways forward, based on a strong conception of the need to create an inclusive society. In particular, he highlights the importance of action around synergy, altruism, passion, empathy and pragmatism as providing a means of moving towards a more socially just and inclusive society. I recommend this important book authored by Dr Peter Gibilisco to all people interested in the struggle to create a socially, politically and economically just society."- Prof. Tim Marjoribanks, Assoc. Dean (Research and Technology) Faculty of Business and Law Swinburne University of Technology"Written with clarity and first-hand insight, this book tackles some incredibly important challenges for people living with disability.- Adam Vogel, Assoc. Prof., Centre for Neuroscience of Speech, The Univ. of MelbourneAbout the Author:Dr. Peter Gibilisco, BA B Bus, MA (Mon'h), PhD (Melb) is 56 years old, has Friedreich's Ataxia, a progressive condition that left him confined to a wheelchair, with slurred speech, to name a few inherent challenges.

The Yasha Ahayah Bible Scriptures Aleph Tav (YASAT) coming out of Babylon is an English version following the Antioch (Protestant) WORD of the 1769 King James Bible (KJV), the Textus Receptus, Peshitta and the Jewish Aleppo Codex. This scripture restores the NAME of the Messiah Yasha taken from the Oldest Greek NT, the Codex Sinaticus uses the "nomina sacra" (Iota Sigma), which is YASHA in ancient Paleo Hebrew. Twenty-one other Alexandrian Papyrus parchment fragments from 300AD or before also confirm this. This scripture research uses both Antioch (Protestant/Jewish) TEXT "WORD" and Alexandrian (Catholic) "NAME" line for the Messiah.In medieval times the Jews who rejected the Messiah called His name Yeshu harasha or Yeshu rasha with Yeshu being an acronym for the formula "may his name and memory be obliterated" (see Toledot Yeshu). This is very close to Yasha which means Saviour in Hebrew. Here for the very first time is a literal translation of the scriptures with the sacred name of Ahayah and Yasha, restored and preserved. Did you know in every Bible translation including the KJV that our Heavenly Father's personal name Ahayah has been taken out and replaced with titles and even names of pagan deities more than 10,000 times? The YASAT is designed for those looking to read the word as it was meant to be, by coming out of Babylon which worshipped foreign Gods. Giving glory to Ahayah and Yasha and not pagan gods, like Lord, God, Elohim, EL, Jehovah and Jesus to name a few. This scripture also replaces "Law" with "Torah Law," as the law was given to Moses on the temple mount and many confuse the LAW with the pagan laws found in society.At the time of this second publishing, I have restored the Paleo Hebrew pictographic names. I have finished restoring the Aleph Tav in the Old Testament. The Messiah calls himself the Aleph and Tav in Revelation 1:8 in the Messianic Peshitta and it's restored here. I have also restored the original Mark of the Beast as found in Revelation 13:18. Ahlahayam is now used instead of the pagan Elohim or Ishi-ohim, Adana is used instead of Adonai (Adonis). Ah-Yasha is used instead of Ishi Hosea 2:16 which was taken straight from Paleo Hebrew and is another solid example of how the Father has the SAME NAME as the Son "YASHA" fulfilling John 5:43. Many common terms used in most Bibles today have pagan origins, so I have done research into cleaner terms to use and have documented them at the back of this book as well as on my website ahayah.com under "PAGAN TERMS" to help fulfill Exodus 23:13.About the Author:Timothy Sorsdahl's background is a civil engineer, artist and inventor. Eight years ago he became interested in finding the truth to the trinity, and he couldn't find it in the Scriptures. But he found the echad, in Paleo Hebrew it is the Ahcad which is united oneness, Deuteronomy 6:4 and it is restored here. Trinity was invented by a man named Tertullian who wrote Liber De Palio and so there is no life from following it. From there he did research looking for His Holy Name. Timothy thought it was Yahweh (YHWH), but Exodus 3:14 clearly shows in Hebrew that His Holy Name is Ahayah (AHYH). The YASAT is designed for those looking to read the word as it was meant to be. Giving glory to Ahayah and not pagan gods. So he felt called to make a version of the Scriptures that has Ahayah the Father, Yasha the Son, Yashayah (Our Saviour), who both share the SAME NAME "HAYAH" fulfilling John 5:43. The YASAT Study Bible helps to open a door into the Messianic roots of the faith and the cleaner Scriptures will help in prayer and getting saved. Both the Father and Son say you need to know and call out their proper names Acts 4:12, Romans 10:9 and Romans 10:13.

Roland is a recently divorced aging baby boomer now living the life of a spiritual seeker, intellectual, existentialist, and artist who is also secretly battling an incurable disease, as he faces his enigma of navigating the desires of the flesh without corrupting his soul. A man of harsh self-criticism, discipline, and honesty, he is earnestly fearful of being labeled a hypocrite. He is driven with the idealism to assist humanity in distress. Roland is no fool, or a Don Quixote, rather a moralist who stands up against the injustices of life at all hazards. He is viewed as an avant-garde intellectual philosopher and artist within the arts and academic community, though among his intimate women friends he is known for his spiritualism, sensitivity, honesty, respect for women, and his quest for a higher self - at times viewed as a paradox, an anachronism, and contradiction. Though his profane detractors regard him as a threat and as much an idealistic fool.Roland, raised in a devout Catholic home, begins his spiritual quest in his youth after receiving a series of visions that take him on his arduous path to the western hermetic tradition of Gnosticism, the Kabbalah, and esoteric Freemasonry. Eventually achieving the grade of magi and adept of the illuminati order - a secret he guards jealously, known to just a few confidants. Through a number of synchronistic events, Roland finds himself intimately involved with Candice, one of his former college students. As the relationship grows and Candice moves into his loft, Roland is plagued with a consistent and frequent nightmare of being burnt alive at the stake for being a Christian Heretic in Southern France during the Albigensian Crusade of the 13th century. Roland believes this is an omen for his immoral transgressions, and he will be cursed to burn in the eternal damnation of hell. Before dying Roland is given a heavenly vision that reveals both Candice's and his true identities and missions.About the Author:Richard Cirulli is a retired professor, now living a spiritual artist's life.

"We The People Are Failing" provides facts and conclusions on how you can help to change the treacherous "Constitutional Crisis" the U.S. is in since the United States first established itself as a world leader based on its amazing twentieth-century advancements in Industrial Technology.In diagnosing today's dysfunctional Senate and House of Representatives, it shows that the plutocratic, corporate, and lobbying factions have for a second time replaced "We the People." This Multi-party conflict had previously occurred in the aftermath of the War of 1812-1815, fought between the United States and the United Kingdom, causing the collapse of this country's first Multi-party Federalist and Democratic-Republican regimes. History suggests that post-war industrial growth has a great deal to do with the wealth and corporate factions taking over democracies. The selfish, bitter partisan dispute between the Duopoly "Multi-party" U.S. Congress in 1812 had previously brought this nation to a "Constitutional Crisis," just like today - prompting the need to recover the people's "Single-party" identity from 1812 to 1850, which became identified as the "Era of Good Feelings." So this nation has previously experienced this need for national purpose and a desire for unity among all Americans. Worse yet, we now have a Russian foreign faction that is also intent on destroying all forms of democracy throughout the entire world by using their cyber espionage skills to interfere with the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election. Once you review the facts herein, it is my hope you will find your voice and then use it to speak out as a devoted and loving citizen of the greatest Democracy ever.About the Author:John R. Krismer, MHA-LFACHE - is founder and CEO-PI of Health Systems Institute (HSI), consulting with governments, hospitals, clinics, and professional and political organizations while serving as CEO of several hospitals and corporations, and as a board member for two health insurance companies. He's conducted hundreds of educational institutes and researched the health record database system with four major universities, which proposed a comprehensive universal non-profit single prepayment system to provide cost-effective, high-quality care that was to be led by healthcare professionals who work under a Hippocratic Oath ¿ not plutocrats that only seek wealth. He's often identified as a visionary ahead of his time, who openly opposed profiting from this nation's sick and disabled, and fought decentralizing and deregulating this county's healthcare under profit insurance and pharmaceutical companies. He supported this country's once very successful single privately owned non-profit healthcare system before it was invaded in the 1960's by non-medical politicians to increase their financial benefits. A system that was once ranked first in the world instead of 32nd by today's World Healthcare Organization (WHO). In discussing political concerns with President Ford, (a close friend), the President said: "John, our politicians have a stranglehold on this Democracy, and the healthcare system will have to collapse before it can get better." And you know what? He was right! Unless the people review the facts and speak out in a single voice and demand equality as they did in the "Era of Good Feelings," our Democracy will collapse. It is my hope this book will help you learn the facts and how to speak out.
