Download or read book Crosshairs of Evil written by James McCarty and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-28 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 2016 presidential campaign, numerous high-level officials within the U.S. Government hated Donald Trump. They were shocked and horrified when Trump won the election over their favored candidate, Hillary Clinton. A "Resistance" movement against Trump arose involving many high-level government officials -- including departing President Obama and his team. The Resistance members feared President-Elect Trump's designee as National Security Advisor, Lt. General Michael Flynn. Flynn had worked in intelligence for 33 years. He was a decorated combat veteran. More important to The Resistance, Flynn was a sophisticated user of intelligence. He knew where classified information was kept, knew how to access it, and knew how to interpret it. Flynn inevitably would uncover "Operation Crossfire Hurricane," the rogue FBI investigation of Donald Trump, his campaign, his advisors, his Transition Team, and later even his presidency. And Flynn would uncover The Resistance. He had to be stopped, even if those who would become The Resistance had been unable to thwart Trump's presidential bid. "Crosshairs of Evil" tells the true story of how the FBI, the Justice Department, the U.S. Intelligence Community, and later Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his band of marauders, investigated and prosecuted General Flynn, eventually coercing Flynn into resigning. Still later, The Resistance forced Flynn into pleading guilty to a crime he believed he did not commit -- lying to FBI agents in a "perjury trap" ambush interview. This book reveals how a biased federal judge, Emmet Sullivan, became obsessed with sending Flynn to prison for something, anything. And it tells the story of how Flynn's new defense counsel, Sidney Powell and her team, fought to undo the injustices inflicted on Michael Flynn, and save him from the clutches of Judge Sullivan. It also explains how a presidential pardon by President Trump ultimately put an end to Michael Flynn's tragic legal odyssey. This sordid affair must never be allowed to happen again.

Download or read book Through the Crosshairs written by Roger Stahl and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-21 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now that it has become so commonplace, we rarely blink an eye at camera footage framed by the crosshairs of a sniper’s gun or from the perspective of a descending smart bomb. But how did this weaponized gaze become the norm for depicting war, and how has it influenced public perceptions? Through the Crosshairs traces the genealogy of this weapon’s-eye view across a wide range of genres, including news reports, military public relations images, action movies, video games, and social media posts. As he tracks how gun-camera footage has spilled from the battlefield onto the screens of everyday civilian life, Roger Stahl exposes how this raw video is carefully curated and edited to promote identification with military weaponry, rather than with the targeted victims. He reveals how the weaponized gaze is not only a powerful propagandistic frame, but also a prime site of struggle over the representation of state violence.

Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestselling memoir of U.S. Navy Seal Chris Kyle, and the source for Clint Eastwood’s blockbuster, Academy-Award nominated movie. “An amazingly detailed account of fighting in Iraq--a humanizing, brave story that’s extremely readable.” — PATRICIA CORNWELL, New York Times Book Review "Jaw-dropping...Undeniably riveting." —RICHARD ROEPER, Chicago Sun-Times From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. His fellow American warriors, whom he protected with deadly precision from rooftops and stealth positions during the Iraq War, called him “The Legend”; meanwhile, the enemy feared him so much they named him al-Shaitan (“the devil”) and placed a bounty on his head. Kyle, who was tragically killed in 2013, writes honestly about the pain of war—including the deaths of two close SEAL teammates—and in moving first-person passages throughout, his wife, Taya, speaks openly about the strains of war on their family, as well as on Chris. Gripping and unforgettable, Kyle’s masterful account of his extraordinary battlefield experiences ranks as one of the great war memoirs of all time.

Book excerpt: In this thrilling novel from a New York Times bestselling author, Alex Cross battles the most ruthless and powerful killer he has ever encountered: a predator known only as the Wolf. Alex Cross's first case since joining the FBI has his new colleagues baffled. Across the country, men and women are being kidnapped in broad daylight and then disappearing completely. These people are not being taken for ransom, Alex realizes. They are being bought and sold. And it looks as if a shadowy figure called the Wolf-a master criminal who has brought a new reign of terror to organized crime-is behind this business. Even as he admires the FBI's vast resources, Alex grows impatient with the Bureau's clumsiness and caution when it's time to move. A lone wolf himself, he has to go out on his own in order to track the Wolf and try to rescue some of the victims while they are still alive. As the case boils over, Alex is in hot water at home too. His ex-fiancee, Christine Johnson, comes back into his life-and not for the reasons he might have hoped.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The former advisor to President Trump shares an insider account of the investigation into Russian collusion in a memoir that “unfolds like a spy thriller” (Publishers Weekly). As a young, ambitious foreign policy advisor to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, George Papadopoulos became the first Trump official to plead guilty in special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. He then became the first campaign advisor sentenced to prison. But as he explains in Deep State Target, there was an intricate set up at play, and it was neither Trump nor the Russians pulling the strings. American and allied intelligence services set out to destroy a Trump presidency before it even started. Here, Papadopoulos gives the play-by-play of how operatives like Professor Joseph Mifsud, Sergei Millian, Alexander Downer, and Stefan Halper worked to invent a Russian conspiracy that would irreparably damage the Trump administration. Papadopoulos was there: In secret meetings across the globe, on city streets being tailed by agents, and ultimately being interrogated by Mueller’s team and agreeing to a guilty plea.

Download or read book The Way of Abundance written by Ann Voskamp and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do you do when you wake up and feel like you're not enough for your life? Or when you look out the kitchen window as dusk falls and wonder how do you live when life keeps breaking your heart? As Ann Voskamp writes, “great grief isn't meant to fit inside your body. It's why your heart breaks.” And each of us holds enough brokenness to overflow—to be given as the greatest story of our lives. In sixty vulnerably soulful stories, The Way of Abundance moves from self-weary brokenness to Christ-focused givenness. Drawing from the critically acclaimed, New York Times bestseller The Broken Way and Ann's online essays, this devotional dares us to embrace brokenness as a gift that moves us to givenness as a way to draw closer to the heart of God. Christ Himself broke like bread, giving Himself to us so we might have a lifelong communion with Him. Could it be that our brokenness is also a gift to the world? This gentle but exquisitely profound book does nothing less than take you on an intimate journey of the soul. As Ann writes, "The wound in His side proves that Jesus is always on the side of the suffering, the wounded, the busted, the broken." Discover how surrendering in unexpected ways is the first step toward receiving what you long for. Discover the good news that your beauty is not in your strength but in your fragility. Discover why your healing shines radiant through your wounds—and how only in brokenness will you ever be whole—and find the way to the abundance you were meant for.

Download or read book Billons written by Kin Djaferd and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Devil separated his soul from himself, hiding it in his anti-world, the Creator realised that He wouldn’t be able to change the fate of the genius of evil. It would only be possible to save the human soul from the truth of God’s outcast by the means of an event which would reveal a saviour to the people. This event provided people with their last chance to turn to the truth, disclosing to them the path to Heaven. Universal evil was late in solving the event’s mystery – but he carried away the strength from God’s house, and mankind was forced to live in false truth and in visible, but not genuine, happiness.Why didn’t the Creator save man’s soul from evil permanently? This is the eternal question of those that are lost between good and evil, in the search of the meaning of their own fates. The Creator is silent; He has already given people more than everything; He has endowed them with truth and revealed the saviour, but people haven’t realised that this truth is not exchangable. Salvation won’t come to them, as long as men turn themselves into billons...

One small mishap is about to change Billy Roth's life forever. Decoding information about a eugenics program currently in the works opens Billy's eyes to the fact that eugenics isn't a long-dead religion as many believe, it's alive and thriving, and with something truly evil backing it, this time it might just succeed. Billy and his wife Sarah are drawn right into the middle of the unfolding plot to destroy all imperfect people for reasons neither of them could have ever imagined--Billy is the product of a eugenics experiment! Billy and Sarah come across two distinct lines of thought when it comes to perfecting the world's population; one chooses to do all it can to improve humanity while the other is set to purge it. The Pledge: Scinegue's lead Protector, Mary Sinclair, has her hands full with the evil that is once again plaguing Scinegue, so the last thing she needs is an attraction to a man who knows nothing about true evil, demon cats, or Protectors. But that's exactly what she gets. Will he be a distraction that costs her her life? Or will they get a chance at happily-ever-after? If evil has its way, there will be no happily-ever-afters. The Forest: A wonderful invention becomes a potentially deadly trap. Billy Roth and the other Tops and Protectors work hard to release Bradley and Nicole from the Picture they've been locked within, while at the same time fighting the Darkness that has once again set Its sights on Scinegue.
