After shattering the French armies in a lightning blitzkrieg campaign, the Germans turn their attention on Gibraltar as part of their new Mediterranean or strategic policy, a concept based on overrunning Egypt, then moving east and south, capturing the Persian Gulf area, as well as all East Africa in an alliance with France. After moving their forces down through neutral Spain, they soon engage the powerful British fortress guarding the Strait of Gibraltar, long a symbol of British power and dominance. Will the Germans now succeed using their mighty Luftwaffe to combat the British Navy, seize Gibraltar and push on toward Egypt with a view of conquering the Persian Gulf, East Africa, and move into a position to outflank the powerful Soviet Union from the south? Or will the British, with motorized infantry troops, massive fleet, and modern air force, be able to halt the panzer units should they take Gibraltar and stop them?Be the first to read about attempts by the French to get the aircraft carrier Barn home from Martinique, the huge naval battle between the British and French fleets, and Italian efforts backed up by their colonial troops to take the Anglo-Sudan, British Somaliland, and Kenya with exciting land, sea, and air battles. You will be held speechless and spellbound as you follow the heavy action and its suspense as everything unfolds before your eyes.

A public nonprofit central bank can give everyone ownership of their labor, the most sacred of all inalienable rights. The NPCB can enable everyone to work without permission from an employer and convert their time and effort into money, debt-free, with nothing more than a redirection of some key, established fractional reserve rules to support the individual earning and credit though labor as opposed to debt. Book 1 semisatirically outlines the problems inherent with the present debt-as-money system. Book 2 provides a framework for the NPCB to enable any individual to claim ownership of their labor that will infuse debt-free currency into the debt-burdened private banking system. This solves debt, unemployment, most crimes, and it provides a stable financial foundation that can underwrite precarious financial institutions and support eternal profits along with all the beneficial social services, such as education, health care, infrastructure, and the environment. I introduce a public nonprofit central banking (NPCB) system that can support manufacturing designed for the ages instead of the dump education and civil service bonuses and create a consumer class of citizenry through basic income and transaction credits. If you want to build "e;tomorrow land,"e; this is a way to do it. Read A Cure for Slavery today, and see bright hope for the future.
The Beginning of the End of Racism in America: Black and White is a progressive and pragmatic book that is the antidote to the disease of ignorance and poison of racism. It reflects intimately the causes of these maladies, the results of these maladies, and what must be done in order to completely do away with these maladies. There is no doubt in our mind that, if applied appropriately, the knowledge coupled with the principles of The Beginning of the End of Racism in America will have the changing power to influence, impact, and change anyone with the slightest willingness to want to change, especially inner cities youth to stop the violence with a mind-set for change of its effect on all of us. The Beginning of the End of Racism in America: Black and White can be used as a learning/teaching instrument toward redirecting the behavior of our youth to understanding the complicated design of racism and its effects on their attitudes toward all members of our society, most importantly, African-Americans. Hopefully, this book will become an eye-opener for many and an enlightenment for race relations to build upon in our nation by facing and accepting the truth of the matter. It is truly time to live up to our name the United States of America to manifest into the United People of America. Finally, we believe that the truth will make you free. Therefore, if everything remains the same and nothing changes, this book will truly allow everyone who reads it the opportunity to imagine and feel what our nation would look like without racism, black, and white. Certainly, this will make us all free in our mind and spirit, and perhaps begin to connect us in a new way.

All together we have eight kids now, and four of them live within sixty miles from us. How much better could I have it? Some of my great-grandkids live in the area too, and so we can also be part of their lives. But being retired gave us the time to visit the others more often. Dennis Prigge and I were married in July 2002. He lived in Missouri and I was here in the Northwoods. At first I thought I would move, to be with him, after I retired. Then one day Dennis asked me, "e;What would you say if we stay right here in Wisconsin?"e; He said I lit up like a Christmas tree! Oh, yes-I would like to stay right here, where I have lots of family and friends. So in November 2002 we bought this little log cabin. I retired in February 2004, and now we have the rest of our lives to remodel our little log cabin in the woods. It is still a work in progress. But I now can sit back and enjoy the last years of my life, however many it will be. My heart has finally found peace and happiness!

The faith Joy inherited at the age of three worked for almost fifty years. She believed it, preached it, wrote songs about it, lived it. Jesus was the center of her universe, literally and metaphorically. Hence, one can only imagine the tsunami that followed when her ironclad theological foundation unexpectedly and involuntarily collapsed with a deafening thud. Joy's narrative chronicles her experiences of indoctrination from a young child to the present, as viewed through her rose-colored glasses. From early neglect to domestic violence, she shares how her distorted lens of faith turned every obstacle into an object lesson and every injustice into a refining tool. She exposes the toxicity of a religion that promises unspeakable joy amidst the backdrop of terror and violence. Joy offers hope to others who, like her, have found the courage to walk away and discover the world is even more beautiful without the enhanced overlay of religion.

Married and the father of seven, he is retired and devotes his time exclusively to writing. He is presently working on the sequel to Black Moon to be released in 2018.
