Описание: WHAT AMERICA MUST DO TO ACHIEVE UNITY AND SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY AMERICA: UNITE OR DIEis a real-time analysis of why American Democracy is crumbling and why both sides - Republicans and Democrats - are responsible for its collapse. This is the first objective, non-partisan analysis of what has happened, and most importantly, explains what we can do to avoid impending doom for our system, and most of all, our nation. ONE NATION, INDIVISIBLE? America is the only country in the history of the world founded on an idea--and that idea is liberty. It's an idea that resulted in the most flourishing citizenry in human history, but today that idea is under attack, not just from foreign adversaries but from within as the extreme right of the Republican Party and extreme left of the Democratic Party move further and further apart. These dangerous, corrosive positions pose a serious threat to the foundations of American democracy as we now face: - A political class that has lost touch with mainstream America. - Public loss of trust in the institutions of democracy. - The rise and mobilization of extremism on the right and left, both threatening violence. - The rise of social media, websites, and cable TV news that splinters audiences and creates alternate realities. - Inequality of opportunity that creates a two-tiered society of haves and have-nots. - Anti-democratic regimes ruling China and Russia that threaten freedom around the world. In an era of growing distrust, demonization, and hatred, as we live America's tragic 'Tale of Two Cities, ' our most inspired turn is to embrace the idea engendered in a true symbol of American democracy: the mighty woman with a torch, 'the Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World' "Give me your tired, your poor/ Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free". When citizens who work hard and play by the rules believe they have no shot at the American Dream -- or conclude that the American values, identity, and the principles they grew up with are vanishing -- a giant question mark hangs over the future of our democracy. If we hope to preserve our democracy, both sides must start by reaffirming their belief in the democratic principles of America so they can move from the fringes to the moderate middle-of-the-road positions that millions of Americans embrace. AMERICA: UNITE OR DIE is an inspired plan to turn the Divided States of America into the Reunited State of America. "America: Unite or Die is a must-read for anyone interested in politics and governing or in the current dysfunction of our political system. Douglas Schoen and Carly Cooperman are great scholars and practitioners of American politics. They are two of the country's finest pollsters and strategists who have seen it all--from advising presidents in the White House to analyzing the voters in the precincts across America. The polarization in this country today is explained clearly. Every citizen who cares about this extraordinary country of ours should read this book and be enlightened about what's going on around them." --ED ROLLINS, former assistant to President Reagan for political and governmental affairs, and former co-chairman to the National Republican Congressional Committee "As we, the Divided States of America, work towards becoming the Reunited States of America, America: Unite or Die is a critical roadmap that shows us how to get there together, achieving a bipartisan unity that is urgently needed today." --EVAN BAYH, former Indiana Governor and U.S. Snator (D-IN)

Описание: True fear in the heart of a child is where all sadness is born. To harm a child is to place upon them your own fears. Casting upon the young the evilness of mankind, if this is your desire, then this makes us enemies. And so shall heavy be thy hammer, a cold sharpness will come quick with my blade as will darkness follow my bullets. I have seen too much. I have seen who you can be, and may your God abandon His pity upon your putrid soul. And if its no God you fear or an eternity condemned to hell, then let that dying breath come slowly as your life trickles from your body. Know this, in the eyes of us all, there is no one more deserving of its
Описание: A chilling account of Hugo Chбvez's shadow war on the United States
The American government has shrugged off South American politics for nearly forty years. In the meantime, our neighbor to the south has grown into an unprecedented threat. Hugo Chбvez, the current president of Venezuela and a self-proclaimed enemy of the United States, commands what even Osama bin Laden only dreams of -- but few Americans see him as a true danger to this country. This book argues that we should. Chбvez has the means and the motivation to harm the United States in a way that few other countries can, and he has declared an asymmetric war against America. He runs a sovereign nation that is the fourth largest supplier of oil to the United States. He enjoys annual windfall oil profits that equal the net worth of Bill Gates. He has more modern weapons than anyone in Latin America. He has strategic alliances with Iran, North Korea, and other enemies of America, yet he has duped many Americans -- from influential political and cultural leaders to ordinary citizens who benefit from his oil largess through his state-owned oil company -- into believing that he is a friend. Drawing on two decades of experience working at the highest level of Venezuelan and American politics, Schoen and Rowan go behind the scenes to examine Chбvez's efforts to subvert both the American economy and his own country's stability. Not only did he help drive the price of oil from ten dollars a barrel to more than a hundred dollars a barrel, he's sponsored and become increasingly involved in civilian massacres, drug running, money laundering, nuclear weapons proliferation, and terrorist training. Schoen and Rowan have both the insight and the access to make a case not yet made in the American media. Over the course of the past decade while living and working in Venezuela as writers and political consultants, they've investigated Ch+vez's past, explored his family connections, and gone up against him in a series of elections. Their startling revelations about Ch+vez's rise to power and his reach into American politics make this the kind of urgent, newsbreaking narrative that will spark vital debate in the corridors of power.

Описание:
BARAGOUIN is a tongue-in-cheek artists' book by Los Angeles and Berlin-based artist Kim Schoen. The book is a companion piece to a video installation of the same name, filmed in a now-closed residential sculpture showroom in Los Angeles. The video BARAGOUIN presents these sculptures--which are derivative copies of original works of art--as an important collection of art and records their voices--a pastiche of verbal nonsense and phonetically imitated sounds of languages from around the world. The sculptures range in style and geographic origin from Buddhist to Rococo, Neoclassical to Modernist. BARAGOUIN, the book, catalogs these sculptures as a fictional collection and gives them each a clear art-historical provenance based on morphological resemblances. BARAGOUIN is designed by Ella Gold and includes an essay and expert provenance work by Edward Sterrett.
