The American ability to inspire—which we call exceptionalism—is not automatic. It takes continued efforts to be realized in a changing world. In this book, scholars at the Hoover Institution—professors, thinkers, and practitioners of global renown in their respective fields—offer a series of accessible policy ideas for civic, economic, and security architecture that would shore up the long-term foundations of American strengths. Blueprint for America takes a beyond-the-Beltway look at the basic policies that should be prioritized by the next president and Congress. Economists Michael Boskin, John Cogan, John Cochrane, and John Taylor address questions of entitlement reform, deficits, monetary reform, national debt, and regulatory and tax reform. Scott Atlas draws on his experience in the practice of medicine to tackle the Affordable Care Act and propose incentive-based health care reforms. Cochrane returns to reframe the hot-button political discourses on immigration and international trade. Eric Hanushek addresses the current performance--and reform--of K–12 education. Retired admiral James Ellis, retired general Jim Mattis, and Kori Schake offer their visions of how to restore America's national security through proactive and realistic agenda setting. Ellis follows with a rethink of energy security strategy in an era of abundance and James Goodby expounds on the country's practice of diplomacy in a time of turbulent transition. George Shultz draws from his experiences in government, industry, and academia to lead off each section with a range of clear-eyed observations on spending, human resources, foreign policy, and, in conclusion, the art of governance. The spirit of Blueprint for America is positive and grounded in first principles, offering ideas, diagnoses, solutions, and road maps for the long view.

This last pope will be against the New World Order as he will want to, according to prophecy, return the Catholic Church to its roots.

Meanwhile, the heroes in this story are brought together by someone who stands against the predicted Anti-Christ. Composed of men and women who have gifts in investigating strange occurrences, this group embarks on a quest to find and protect the true last pope. After surviving an assassination attempt, they escape and eventually make their way to Eastern Europe where groups of secret societies and members of The New World Order try and stop them. It will only be a matter of days before they will be able to save Christianity before it ultimately ends.

Winner of the American Sociological Association PEWS Award (1995) for Distinguished Scholarship The Long Twentieth Century traces the epochal shifts in the relationship between capital accumulation and state formation over a 700-year period. Giovanni Arrighi masterfully synthesizes social theory, comparative history and historical narrative in this account of the structures and agencies which have shaped the course of world history over the millennium. Borrowing from Braudel, Arrighi argues that the history of capitalism has unfolded as a succession of "long centuries"—ages during which a hegemonic power deploying a novel combination of economic and political networks secured control over an expanding world-economic space. The modest beginnings, rise and violent unravel-ing of the links forged between capital, state power, and geopolitics by hegemonic classes and states are explored with dramatic intensity. From this perspective, Arrighi explains the changing fortunes of Florentine, Venetian, Genoese, Dutch, English, and finally American capitalism. The book concludes with an examination of the forces which have shaped and are now poised to undermine America's world power.

You many think you know everything you need to know about the historical figure "Jesus Christ", but every cherished belief you have is false. Jesus Christ is a fraud. For a start, his name wasn't Jesus Christ but Yehoshua ben Yosef. And, just as his name is a fiction designed to disguise the truth, so is everything else about him. We will demonstrate the following: 1) The central promise of Christianity – the resurrection of the dead – is utterly wrong. The Christian Gospels demonstrate conclusively that Jesus Christ was reincarnated. 2) Jesus Christ was the central figure in one of the most audacious plots in history. 3) He was head of an Elite Family that wished to rule the world. The Family exists to this day. 4) Jesus Christ was the leader of an army that sought to overthrow Roman rule in Judea. He was executed as a violent revolutionary attempting to set himself up as a king. 5) Judas, the infamous traitor, was the brother of Christ. The greatest lie in history has endured too long.
