This book shows the depth of tyranny and oppression the current presidency has put the USA under. Why then have they not impeached? Begin to understand the depth of betrayal of our Constitution and rights by politicians adhering to the party line, rather than their oath of office.
RAGGED, bald, and desolate, as though a curse rested upon it, rises the H
The Veil Lifted, and Light Thrown On Crime and Its Causes and Criminals and Their Haunts
Most of the world has an idealic view of New York City, promoted by television and the propagandists. This ideal NYC has been promoted even more since the 911 tragedy allowed by the US Government. This manuscript reveals a 'not so pretty' side of this New Babylon of Trade.
Earthquake and famine, fire and sudden death-these are the destroyers that men fear when they come singly; but upon the unhappy people of California they came together, a hideous quartette, to slay human beings, to blot from existence the wealth that represented prolonged and strenuous effort, to bring hunger and speechless misery to three hundred thousand homeless and terror-stricken people. The full measure of the catastrophe can probably never be taken.
Sæmund, son of Sigfus, the reputed collector of the poems bearing his name, which is sometimes also called the Elder, and the Poetic, Edda, was of a highly distinguished family, being descended in a direct line from King Harald Hildetonn. He was born at Oddi, his paternal dwelling in the south of Iceland, between the years 1054 and 1057, or about 50 years after the establishment by law of the Christian religion in that island; hence it is easy to imagine that many heathens, or baptized favourers of the old mythic songs of heathenism, may have lived in his days and imparted to him the lays of the times of old, which his unfettered mind induced him to hand down to posterity.
The enemy of Osiris became an evil dragon, and was identified with Set. The dragon-myth, however, did not really begin to develop until an ageing king refused to be slain, and called upon the Great Mother, as the giver of life, to rejuvenate him. Her only elixir was human blood; and to obtain it she was compelled to make a human sacrifice.
The most successful farmers of the present day are those who work in harmony with the forces and laws of nature which control the growth and development of plants and animals. These men have gained their knowledge of those laws and forces by careful observation, experiment and study. The lessons of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita should not go unheeded. Our way of life is at the mercy of the Universe and as such it expects us to be prepared. This book is another of the books TGS seeks to make available for everyone that may in the future face an end, temporary or permanent, in their way of living.
With the natural weather catastrophes all around us, and the unending wars of the U.S., we could easily find ourselves in a position of food shortages and rationings. This book from World War 1, nearly a century ago offers recipes and helps to save and ration food. All households should have these resources handy and available should the time come that your family is forced to conserve or ration food.
"You must remember," said Mme. Blavatsky, "that I never meant this for a scientific work. My letters to the Russian Messenger, under the general title: 'From the Caves and Jungles of Hindostan,' were written in leisure moments, more for amusement than with any serious design.
Story of one girl's plight dealing with white slavery and the government's blind eye to the atrocities in Chicago.
INFIDEL! The name has been bestowed on me by several Christian gentlemen as a reproach, but to my ears it has a quaint and not unpleasing sound. Infidel! "The notorious infidel editor of the Clarion" is the form used by one True Believer. The words recurred to my mind suddenly, while I was taking my favourite black pipe for a walk along "the pleasant Strand," and I felt a smile glimmer within as I repeated them.
The relationship between the Egyptian and the Hebrew becomes even closer as the author exposes the origins of the Aleph-Bet.
Men's conceptions of the heroic change with changing years, and vary with each individual mind; hence it often happens that one person sees in a legend only the central heroism, while another sees only the inartistic details of medi
Probably the first thought which will occur to the reader who is acquainted with the matters treated in this work will be that the subject is too large. A history of Hinduism or Buddhism or even of both within the frontiers of India may be a profitable though arduous task, but to attempt a historical sketch of the two faiths in their whole duration and extension over Eastern Asia is to choose a scene unsuited to any canvas which can be prepared at the present day.
