Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone has heard of the SAS and are probably aware that all major countries have their own highly trained Special Forces. Normally working in opposition to each other, these units have a common bond that transcends all national boundaries. That bond is born of the PRIDE the members have in their skills and the RESPECT they feel for each other. While remaining fiercely loyal to their own country, they have established an 'unofficial fraternity' that gives international cooperation whereby they help each other when in need. It is this cooperation that Ben Carson - ex SAS, calls on when he sets out on a trail of revenge following the drug related killing of his god daughter. Ex-Special Forces members across Europe and in the Americas team up with him to form a small group of 'specialist' volunteers. With their help, he lays his plans to wreak a bloody revenge and the destruction of the Colombian Cartel responsible for the import of drugs to the UK. Dodging cartel hit men, he crosses Europe and reaches North America where he comes under the eagle eye of the CIA. Finally moving into Panama and Colombia, the action moves swiftly onwards, with helicopters and ground forces working together to achieve that aim. Written by a security specialist, it is autobiographical in that it concerns the skills, weapons and contacts of the security trade.

Download or read book From Adam to Omega written by A. R. Roberts and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extraterrestrial life has been a philosophical issue that has not been high on the priority list for scientific study. Since the UFO issue revolves around possible alien visitors, however, it is essential to determine if extraterrestrial life could exist and, if so, whether it could visit our world. In From Adam to Omega, author A. R. Roberts provides a comprehensive compendium of UFO phenomena, followed by his interpretations of how those phenomena relate to religious and historical texts. Roberts provides a commonsense approach and a logical evaluation of the most credible evidence available-evidence compiled by reliable researchers and investigators. He examines a plethora of questions: - Are UFOs real? - Were extraterrestrials involved with ancient civilizations? - Are aliens abducting people and performing strange tests and examinations? - Does the Bible reveal evidence of extraterrestrial visitation? - Did the US Air Force really retrieve crashed UFOs and alien bodies? - Are the military, the government, and NASA hiding the truth? - Is there evidence of an alien agenda? From Adam to Omega presents thought-provoking and interesting information as it examines the evidence to determine what is fact and what is fiction. Roberts offers a unique perspective on the UFO mystery.

Using familiar case studies of alien encounters as examples, he casts a wide net that shows a clear pattern of extraterrestrial visitation and the ensuing cover-up by US and world governments. In the end, the reader cannot help coming away with the same conclusionthat something is going on and our government knows it. A must-read for those interested in ufology, conspiracy theories, and ancient aliens.

Ancient megalithic structures, biblical stories, and even prehistoric art and cave paintings point to the existence of nonterrestrial lifeand with advanced technology, new recordings, and the Internet, more evidence points to their continued presence today. Why, then, do we the public know so little? Why has the media ignored credible reports from eyewitnesses and ufologists? And why have world governments suppressed these facts from their citizens? The UFO enigma is an extremely complex jigsaw puzzle comprised of many pieces. However, they t together in a way that presents a cohesive theory when you connect all the dots.

Download or read book From Desert One to Desert Storm written by Tal Tovy and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-19 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book recounts the history of the US Special Operations Forces (SOF) after the failure of Operation Eagle Claw in 1980, examining the events that led to and followed a series of organizational and operational reforms in the American military system. Operation Eagle Claw’s damage to America’s image was a critical moment in American miliary history that extended beyond the exclusive purview of the military. The establishment of the Special Operations Command in 1987 would mark the only time to date that Congress has ever directed the executive branch to establish a military command. This book surveys the decades leading up to and proceeding Operation Eagle Claw, beginning with the SOF in the years after Vietnam and ending with the SOF’s performance in Operations Just Cause and Desert Storm. With thoughtful analysis and supplementary primary source documents, From Desert One to Desert Storm: Operation Eagle Claw as a Critical Movement is a useful resource for courses on American military history, the Cold War, and the United States and the Middle East.

When BIRD is born Boy is forced to re-evaluate the image Arturo's family have presented to her, and Boy, Snow and Bird are broken apart.

Download or read book Graphic Indigeneity written by Frederick Luis Aldama and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2020-06-04 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honorable Mention Recipient for the Comics Studies Society Prize for Edited Book Collection Contributions by Joshua T. Anderson, Chad A. Barbour, Susan Bernardin, Mike Borkent, Jeremy M. Carnes, Philip Cass, Jordan Clapper, James J. Donahue, Dennin Ellis, Jessica Fontaine, Jonathan Ford, Lee Francis IV, Enrique García, Javier García Liendo, Brenna Clarke Gray, Brian Montes, Arij Ouweneel, Kevin Patrick, Candida Rifkind, Jessica Rutherford, and Jorge Santos Cultural works by and about Indigenous identities, histories, and experiences circulate far and wide. However, not all films, animation, television shows, and comic books lead to a nuanced understanding of Indigenous realities. Acclaimed comics scholar Frederick Luis Aldama shines light on how mainstream comics have clumsily distilled and reconstructed Indigenous identities and experiences. He and contributors emphasize how Indigenous comic artists are themselves clearing new visual-verbal narrative spaces for articulating more complex histories, cultures, experiences, and narratives of self. To that end, Aldama brings together scholarship that explores both the representation and misrepresentation of Indigenous subjects and experiences as well as research that analyzes and highlights the extraordinary work of Indigenous comic artists. Among others, the book examines Daniel Parada’s Zotz, Puerto Rican comics Turey el Taíno and La Borinqueña, and Moonshot: The Indigenous Comics Collection. This volume’s wide-armed embrace of comics by and about Indigenous peoples of the Americas and Australasia is a first step to understanding how the histories of colonial and imperial domination connect the violent wounds that still haunt across continents. Aldama and contributors resound this message: Indigeneity in comics is an important, powerful force within our visual-verbal narrative arts writ large.
