Download or read book The Gastrend Conspiracy written by Harlan Hansen and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The GasTrend Conspiracy is the fictional account of an attempted takeover of a natural gas distribution company by a major city through condemnation action and citizen vote. The reasons for the attempted condemnation and ultimate ownership of GasTrend by the city are the mayor's hatred of GasTrend and the city's declining revenues due to an economic downturn. The initial gas company crisis begins when a county road grader slips on an icy ridge in below zero weather. The grader slides through a bridge railing and cuts open the high-pressure natural gas line feeding gas to the city. The ensuing explosion and fire consumes the road grader, kills the operator, and prevents new natural gas from flowing into the city, thus, endangering residents because soon there will be no heat. Something must be done quickly or the residents could freeze. In order to own and operate the gas company, the mayor convinces some legislators to introduce a bill in the State House that would allow condemnation action. This would insure that they would also pay for all of the expenses of the action and the subsequent election. How can they get the natural gas business back on track so that it is working for the people and not against them?

Book excerpt: From an award-winning New York Times reporter comes the full, mind-boggling true story of the lies, crimes, and ineptitude behind the Enron scandal that imperiled a presidency, destroyed a marketplace, and changed Washington and Wall Street forever. It was the corporate collapse that appeared to come out of nowhere. In late 2001, the Enron Corporation—a darling of the financial world, a company whose executives were friends of presidents and the powerful—imploded virtually overnight, leaving vast wreckage in its wake and sparking a criminal investigation that would last for years.

It is a tale of global reach—from Houston to Washington, from Bombay to London, from Munich to Sao Paolo—laying out the unbelievable scenes that twisted together to create this shocking true story. Eichenwald reveals never-disclosed details of a story that features a cast including George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Paul O’Neill, Harvey Pitt, Colin Powell, Gray Davis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Alan Greenspan, Ken Lay, Andy Fastow, Jeff Skilling, Bill Clinton, Rupert Murdoch and Sumner Redstone.

Download or read book Paradise Reforged written by James Belich and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2002-02-28 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paradise Reforged picks up where Making Peoples left off, taking the story of the New Zealanders from the 1880s to the end of the twentieth century. It begins with the search for "Better Britain" and ends by analyzing the modern Maori resurgence, the new Pakeha consciousness, and the implications of a reinterpreted past for New Zealand's future. Along the way the book deals with subjects ranging from sport and sex to childhood and popular culture. Critics hailed Making Peoples as "brilliant" and "the most ambitious book yet written on [New Zealand's] past." Paradise Reforged, its successor, adopts a similarly incisive, original sweep across the New Zealand historical landscape in confronting the myths of the past. That some of its themes are uncomfortably close to the present makes the result all the more fascinating.

Download or read book Conspiracy Encyclopedia written by Thom Burnett and published by Franz Steiner Verlag. This book was released on 2006 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conspiracies are everywhere. they are the lifeblood of politics, business and our daily lives. this truly international and all-embracing encyclopedia explains the details of the world's major popular conspiracies, listing them chronologically under subject matter and cross-referencing them continually (because so many conspiracy theories interact on some level). Conspiracies are often international in their sweep and their impact. the brutal stabbing of Julius Caesar (the conspiracy which has defined political assassinations ever since) plunged the Roman Empire into civil war, which then engulfed much of the known western world. More recently the Cambridge spies (Philby, Blunt, MacLean and Burgess) helped Russia throughout WWII and then re-defined the Cold War afterwards, Philby's defection casting a 30-year shadow over CIA/Anglo-American relations. though conspiracies define our everyday lives, there is no body of serious academic research to understand their role, nature or defining characteristics. Most historians prefer to adhere to the cock-up theory of history, in which everything happens by accident or incompetence. Although this view is favoured by academics and historians, it is rejected by a large part of the general public who prefer the evidence of their own lives. However they consume their media, what they see is a mesh of conspiracies that define the texture of their everyday lives, often for the worst. Most people believe that there is a grain of truth in most theories about conspiracies. this book is for them.

Book excerpt: A CIA agent embedded in the New York City financial community is assigned with his partner to handle the financing of the divestiture of billions of dollars of corporate holdings. The holdings are held by an elderly and wealthy Hong Kong businessman. The agent is curious why so much funding needs to be generated in such a short period of time to fund the flu vaccine and cancer research at Shanghai Genomics. He later discovers that former scientists at Shanghai Genomics have died under mysterious circumstances. Then a close friend working on the divestitures is killed. Thereafter, the agent retrieves a sample of the flu vaccine and the DNA is scanned. Genes produced in the project would make the Chinese a super race. The agent reports his findings to the CIA director, who in turn reports to the president of the United States. The president discusses the matter with the president of China, and a plan is conceived to eliminate the flu vaccine dosages, which are located on a refrigerated ship in international waters. The plan includes the use of two B-2 stealth bombers armed with neutron bombs that would kill the live flu vaccine but not harm the ship. Will the plan be successful?

Download or read book The Franklin Conspiracy written by Gordon Collis and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Franklin Conspiracy is the story of a small rural real estate salesman whose normal, everyday life is thrown into chaos when his office is delivered a 400 year old scheme to take over the world. It is also the tale of a manuscript written by a disgruntled band of rogue Conquistadors who had been banished for treason by the Spanish Royal family for keeping the vash riches that they plundered from the Aztecs in South America. These same men turned to the Vatican to buy "god-like status" in recognition of their wealth. But when it was refused, they were excommunicated and sent into exile. It was while they were in exile that they drafted the formula for a new world order. They learned how to program human thoughts and manipulate them so that they could have ultimate power. After centures of executing that plan, their descendants are ultra-powerful and own the world's wealth. The Franklin Conspiracy is a tale where money has become almighty, and how over the years our faith has been distracted by greed and the wealthy have become almighty. However, as our hero fumbles through the confusion around him, he is assisted by a group of people with vested interests. They use our hero to lure the rogue Conquistadors into the open and, with the help of the Roman Catholic Church, destroy the untruth that has destroyed faith.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A global "death syndrome" is paralyzing medical facilities the world over. What diabolical plot is at work? People are dying for no apparent reason. Sister Lily Elizabeth and her dedicated followers are faced with patients who were healed and are suddenly dead. There was a time when pharmaceutical companies developed drugs to cure or prevent sickness. Drugs that killed, caused birth defects, resulted in addiction, or that had side effects worse than the illnesses that they were designed to cure never reached the marketplace. When was the last time a cure was developed? There is no profit in curing illness, only in eternal treatment. Now pharmaceutical companies are simply drug dealers motivated by profit alone. This is not an expose of the pharmaceutical industry, but it makes one think. An investigation is spearheaded by the USFDA's Dr. Grayson Gill into the possible involvement of a pharmaceutical agent in this sudden-death issue. In the meantime, a diverse group of crime fighters—FBI's Alvin Brandon, Scotland Yard's Sir David Charles, and even Interpol sleuths—are investigating a possible tie to a terrorist chemical warfare conspiracy. • What does little Freddie Fender Ramirez, the Green Machine, Urbanati Construction, or Marion Pharmaceutical Corporation have to do with it? • Who are Karim Mashid, alias Jose Vigil, and Hamid Mohamed, alias Raul Benitez? • Who is Stewart Miles, and how does his discovery instigate this pandemic? • Who is Boris Silversen, and what is his connection to all of the above? As the different pieces of this mystical thriller come together, a conspiracy is revealed, crimes are solved, and justice is served, but not before thousands of innocents die. The reader is taken on a frantic journey from Thailand to Brazil, to London, England, and New York, through jungles, hospital wards, corporate boardrooms, crime groups, and behind the walls of major crime fighting organizations as the author tells this tale of adventure, murder, intrigue, and conspiracy.
