Download or read book Surveillance Valley written by Yasha Levine and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The internet is the most effective weapon the government has ever built. In this fascinating book, investigative reporter Yasha Levine uncovers the secret origins of the internet, tracing it back to a Pentagon counterinsurgency surveillance project. A visionary intelligence officer, William Godel, realized that the key to winning the war in Vietnam was not outgunning the enemy, but using new information technology to understand their motives and anticipate their movements. This idea -- using computers to spy on people and groups perceived as a threat, both at home and abroad -- drove ARPA to develop the internet in the 1960s, and continues to be at the heart of the modern internet we all know and use today. As Levine shows, surveillance wasn't something that suddenly appeared on the internet; it was woven into the fabric of the technology. But this isn't just a story about the NSA or other domestic programs run by the government. As the book spins forward in time, Levine examines the private surveillance business that powers tech-industry giants like Google, Facebook, and Amazon, revealing how these companies spy on their users for profit, all while doing double duty as military and intelligence contractors. Levine shows that the military and Silicon Valley are effectively inseparable: a military-digital complex that permeates everything connected to the internet, even coopting and weaponizing the antigovernment privacy movement that sprang up in the wake of Edward Snowden. With deep research, skilled storytelling, and provocative arguments, Surveillance Valley will change the way you think about the news -- and the device on which you read it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exciting international espionage thriller, a continuation of the Rendman family exploits as Zelta joins forces with her brother, Joseph, and the CIA. They race through Cuba, Russia, Brazil and the United States in a perilous attempt to root out a deeply entrenched Soviet spy ring operating at the highest levels in the US, while avoiding Cuban Military Police and KGB assassins. Major American universities, the Naval Academy, even a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are complicit in a twisted web of intrigue, espionage and stolen secrets. Beginning with pure vengeance for the slaughter of complete Russian and Cuban guerrilla communities and culminating in a one day CIA clean sweep of the multi-state spy cell, climaxing in a Florida orange grove estate—a last ditch all-out effort by the KGB to kill the Rendmans. “A terrific sequel that, if you can believe it, packs more thrills than Code Name Rustler. The action comes on with a vengeance and doesn’t let up. Like its predecessor, Rustler’s Vengeance puts the reader smack in the middle of what was the Western hemisphere’s hottest flash point.” -Jonathan Scott, author of Lenegrin and The Woman in the Wilderness-

Download or read book Behold I AM written by Joyce Lynn Wulf and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-11-13 with total page 605 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was a childlike question, but the answer was as stunning as it was profound. If God is light, what do the primary colors of the rainbow's spectrum signify? The Gospel of John declares in eight mysterious signs that God is light and Jesus Christ in the flesh was God sent to bring the light of true life to us. These enigmatic signs of light, semeion, imply the eight signs' significance pointed to something other than what they appeared. The themes of John's eight signs match the themes of the Feasts given to ancient Israel at Mount Sinai and a sequence of YHWH's covenant names. Behold, I AM is a rich, in-depth study into God's Holyday appointed times, His eight Festivals of Light, what they meant then, what they mean today, and how they are fulfilling prophecy.

Download or read book Theology and Human Flourishing written by Mike Higton and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-11-04 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays is a celebration of the work of Timothy Gorringe. Like his theology, it is animated by a delighted and critical engagement with the diverse facets of human social life, and by a passionate concern to wrestle with the Bible and the Christian tradition in pursuit of human flourishing. The built environment, politics, education, art: these essays by leading Christian theologians ask what it means for Christian theology to concern itself with, to immerse itself in, and to risk critical commentary on, each of these and more. The collection follows the same rhythm that animates Gorringe's work: insistent attention to the Christian tradition in the light of the particular contexts where human flourishing is imagined, fought for, embodied and betrayed; and a critical, constructive and celebratory examination of those contexts in the light of the Christian tradition. The contributions are very diverse, touching on everything from city life to human curiosity, poverty to genocide--but they are united by a passion to make theological sense of human flourishing.

Download or read book A Handbook on the Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith written by Craig Evans and published by Hendrickson Publishers. This book was released on 2021-04-18 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Handbook on the Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith is a comprehensive handbook that serves as an introduction to the Jewish roots of the Christian Faith. It includes Old Testament background, Second Temple Judaism, the life of Jesus, the New Testament, and the early Jewish followers of Jesus. It is intended as a resource for college and/or higher education. It is no longer a novelty to say that Jesus was a Jew. In fact, the term Jewish roots has become something of a buzzword in books, articles, and especially on the internet. But what does the Jewishness of Jesus actually mean, and why is it important? This collection of articles aims to address those questions and serve as a comprehensive yet concise primer on the Jewish roots of the Christian faith. It consists of thirteen chapters, most of which are divided into four or five articles. It is in a “handbook” format, meaning that each article is brief but informative. The thirteen chapters are grouped into four major sections: (1) The Soil, (2) The Roots, (3) The Trunk, and (4) The Branches. Craig A. Evans, PhD, DHabil, is the John Bisagno Distinguished Professor of Christian Origins at Houston Baptist University in Texas. He is a frequent contributor to scholarly journals and the author or editor of over seventy books. Evans resides in Houston, TX. David Mishkin, PhD, serves on the faculty of Israel College of the Bible in Netanya, Israel. He is the author of The Wisdom of Alfred Edersheim and Jewish Scholarship on the Resurrection of Jesus.
Download or read book Hidden Truth in Plain Sight written by Kenny Brown and published by Home Life Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-12 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you believe what you read, or do you read what you believe? Have you ever read a familiar passage of Scripture and suddenly noticed something you had never seen before? “Wow!” You may have asked, “Has that always been there?” Hidden Truth in Plain Sight explores this very notion – that profound truth has been right there on the pages of the Bible, yet continues to go unnoticed by its readers. Why? Filters. Christians tend to read the Bible through the filter of doctrines we have been taught and hold to be true, rather than simply reading the words on the page, considering the language, context, audience, and author. Do you desire to seek truth, even if it requires change? Are you willing to ask the hard questions, regardless of the answers? Are you ready to discover the Bible’s Hidden Truth in Plain Sight?

Download or read book The Man Who Saved Kabuki written by Okamoto Shiro and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2001-04-01 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of its program to promote democracy in Japan after World War II, the American Occupation, headed by General Douglas MacArthur, undertook to enforce rigid censorship policies aimed at eliminating all traces of feudal thought in media and entertainment, including kabuki. Faubion Bowers (1917-1999), who served as personal aide and interpreter to MacArthur during the Occupation, was appalled by the censorship policies and anticipated the extinction of a great theatrical art. He used his position in the Occupation administration and his knowledge of Japanese theatre in his tireless campaign to save kabuki. Largely through Bowers's efforts, censorship of kabuki had for the most part been eliminated by the time he left Japan in 1948. Although Bowers is at the center of the story, this lively and skillfully adapted translation from the original Japanese treats a critical period in the long history of kabuki as it was affected by a single individual who had a commanding influence over it. It offers fascinating and little-known details about Occupation censorship politics and kabuki performance while providing yet another perspective on the history of an enduring Japanese art form. Read Bowers' impressions of Gen. MacArthur on the Japanese-American Veterans' Association website.
