Making matters worse, they quickly realize that powerful political forces may be conspiring to ensure their mission fails. A brilliant young guerrilla leader, Comrade Olivario, commands the most lethal force the insurgents have ever fielded. He must establish the Shining Path as the preeminent political power in the valley, and to do this he must eliminate every threat--including the Green Berets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BLUE SUN, RED SUN A Story of Ancient Prophesy Unfolding in the Modern World By Jack Allis Blue Sun, Red Sun is a metaphysical thriller, based on Hopi prophesy that talks about mysterious lights that appear in our sky heralding the coming of a new age, and what we, humanity, are called upon to do in these times of monumental transformation. The setting is Rainbow Village, a small sustainable community in the remote mountains, which is built on the same foundation as the Hopi and other indigenous traditions, and that is living in harmony with nature. They believe the civilized world is in the final stages of its inevitable collapse, and their mission is to be a base from which to build the new world from the ashes of the old. Our story begins with the first of the lights, the Blue Sun, appearing in the sky. The next day a group calling itself the Guardians takes control of all forms of media and announces the creation of a New World Order, with supreme authority to govern the world in their hands. Their first act is to abolish all paper money, and replace it with mandatory microchip implants for financial transactions. This, together with the mysterious Blue Sun, sends the world into a panic. Financial markets crash and hyperinflation strikes, making all money worthless. The old paradigm civilized world is on the brink. Thus, the stage is set for the most epic battle of all, as humanity is forced to choose between two worlds, one of slavery and one of freedom. It is a battle which is also beyond this world. It is multi-dimensional and extraterrestrial. The Guardians are aligned with extraterrestrial beings who have ruled the Earth behind the scenes for millennia. And in order for Rainbow to persevere, they must rely on the powers of the supernatural that they derive from their spirituality. Rainbow Village is prepared for this day. Will they experience the same fate as indigenous traditions before them, annihilation? Will they be devoured by the chaos around them? What power could possibly supplant the Guardians? If Rainbow is to persevere, what forces must come into play?

Download or read book How the Red Sun Rose written by Gao Hua and published by The Chinese University of Hong Kong Press. This book was released on 2018-11-15 with total page 840 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work offers the most comprehensive account of the origin and consequences of the Yan'an Rectification Movement from 1942 to 1945. The author argues that this campaign emancipated the Chinese Communist Party from Sovietinfluenced dogmatism and unified the Party, preparing it for the final victory against the Nationalist Party in 1949. More importantly, this monograph shows in great detail how Mao Zedong established his leadership through this partywide political movement by means of aggressive intraparty purges, thought control, coercive cadre examinations, and total reorganizations of the Party's upper structure. The result of this movement not only set up the foundation for Mao's new China, but also deeply influenced the Chinese political structure today. The Chinese version of How the Red Sun Rose was published in 2000, and has had nineteen printings since then.

Jerry Dean can’t afford to lose that $52,000—he owes it to his partners and to a crooked cop. He also can’t afford to disappoint the crazed and fearsome Reverend Butch Pogue, who is expecting Jerry Dean to deliver the chemicals the reverend needs for his next batch of meth. To avoid the holy man’s wrath, Jerry Dean sets in motion a series of events that will threaten Banks’s family, his life, and everything he thinks he knows about the world.
