Book excerpt: Research scientists camped at the desolate McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica studying the local lakes and streams are one day surprised to find a young Weddell seal in their midst. Tired and hungry, and perhaps lured by the smell of the group's cheeseburger dinner, the young male is a long way from his natural habitat on the sea ice of McMurdo Sound. Bound by the Antarctic Conservation Act, the scientists know they cannot provide it with sustenance, but instead contact seal scientists who, after some thought, decide they can provide assistance so the seal can return to the sea ice. The seal gets the ride of its life back to its natural habitat, and the scientists name one of their newly found streams to commemorate their unlikely campmate. Published in cooperation with the Long-Term Ecological Research Network, which is funded by the National Science Foundation.

Download or read book By Water Beneath the Walls written by Benjamin H. Milligan and published by Random House. This book was released on 2024-07-16 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gripping history chronicling the fits and starts of American special operations and the ultimate rise of the Navy SEALs from unarmed frogmen to elite, go-anywhere commandos—as told by one of their own. “Deeply researched, well organized, and incredibly engaging . . . This is our legacy with all the warts, the challenges, and the heroics in one concise volume.”—Admiral William H. McRaven, #1 New York Times bestselling author and former commander, United States Special Operations Command How did the US Navy—the branch of the US military tasked with patrolling the oceans—ever manage to produce a unit of raiders trained to operate on land? And how, against all odds, did that unit become one of the world’s most elite commando forces, routinely striking thousands of miles from the water on the battlefields of Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, even Central Africa? Behind the SEALs’ improbable rise lies the most remarkable underdog story in American military history—and in these pages, former Navy SEAL Benjamin H. Milligan captures it as never before. Told through the eyes of remarkable leaders and racing from one longshot, hair-curling raid to the next, By Water Beneath the Walls is the tale of the unit’s heroic naval predecessors, and the evolution of the SEALs themselves. But it’s also the story of the forging of American special operations as a whole—and how the SEALs emerged from the fires as America’s first permanent commando force when again and again some other unit seemed predestined to seize that role. Here Milligan thrillingly captures the outsize feats of the SEALs’ frogmen forefathers in World War II, the Korean War, and elsewhere, even as he plunges us into the second front of interservice rivalries and personal ambition that shaped the SEALs’ evolution. In equally vivid, masterful detail, he chronicles key early missions undertaken by units like the Marine Raiders, Army Rangers, and Green Berets, showing us how these fateful, bloody moments helped create the modern American commando—even as they opened up pivotal opportunities for the Navy. Finally, he takes us alongside as the SEALs at last seize the mantle of commando raiding, and discover the missions of capture/kill and counterterrorism that would define them for decades to come. Now required reading throughout the US special operations community, By Water Beneath the Walls is an essential history of the SEAL teams, a crackling account of desperate last stands and unforgettable characters accomplishing the impossible—and a riveting epic of the dawn of American special operations.

Download or read book Sacred Scroll of Seven Seals written by Judah and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2016-10-10 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A National Science Foundation Award-Winning Author bumped into The Order of Skull and Bones when analyzing America's failed pill and heroin policies. Get this: 'The Order' has been dealing dope in the same way, around the world, for ages. These policies aren't 'failing.' They are working brilliantly....The Order is knowingly dispatching Americans for money. (Even cures to opiate and other addictions are being hidden.)Then, by cross-referencing leaked information such as rosters from Skull and Bones and Bohemian Grove, 'The Order's' veils of deceit fell to the ground, revealing the most vile bloodline of men who have ever strayed planet earth. After quite a bit more digging, he discovered a rare 200 year old book which was only meant for the eyes of the heirs of the Royal Family. The work details the genealogy of the 'Russell' family and exposes the hoax most refer to as the 'shadow government.' In the 'little book,' Poet, Jeremiah Holmes Wiffen also sent us some coded warnings from the past (and even identified the Holy Grail). Wiffen was no conspiracy theorist. His carefully researched and cited book was chartered by John 6th Duke of Bedford to celebrate their Royal 'Order,' or, their 'race.' ('Duke' is the highest title in the Royal Bloodline outside the monarch) The Order of Skull and Bones appears to be a screening mechanism with which to separate the super-elite from us common 'Vandals,' at Yale; these men go on to manipulate every lever of power in the world. Every president is related to their 'Order.' The bone collector's who darken the halls of 'The Tomb' are responsible for a LOT more than just dope-dealing, hand grips, acting out macabre plays in halloween getups, grave-robbery and public masturbation. (Don't forget, the likes of George Bush, John Kerry, Taft and multiple Kelloggs and Forbes - among countless others - were all from this wicked club).This book will answer a lot of questions which 'The Order' doesn't want you to know. Among them:- How the Civil War really began- How The Order killed a hundred-million people in a great genocide in India before THEY formed America- Who was really responsible for slavery (you will be SHOCKED!)- How the American Flag was really designed (hint: it wasn't 'Betsy Ross')- How Hitler really came to power and the Americans who funded him- It will solve the mysteries of the Great Pyramids- Tell you the esoteric secrets of archaeology- Exactly why those civilizations rose and fell- Where we are in that cycle of desolation and MUCH, MUCH MORE!The 'Little Book' connected these men to the Vikings, the Knights Templar, William the Conquerer, the Tudors, the Clintons, the Roman Catholic Papacy, and it even connects the vile clan to the Tribe of Dan in The Bible (the tribe which The Bible indicates will produce the Antichrist). Now, you may NOT believe in The Bible but these men DO and that is all that matters. This should scare you. Because they worship the dark one therein, and still practice necromancy among many more-deplorable rituals - including ritual child sacrifice ('in effigy,' supposedly).If you smell something rotten after having witnessed this election, this book may be for you...If you have ALWAYS known that the history which we have been taught just doesn't seem to add up, this book may also be for you. But I should warn you, once the scroll is unfurled, it can never be unread. The Order seems to be using the Book of Revelation (outlining the apocalypse) as a script. I will prove to you that even 9/11 is predicted uncannily in Revelation! (Don't let the references to the Bible scare you off. It's only being mentioned for its romantic and historical value to The Order.) Prepare to read the esoteric epic of 'The Pirate Who Took Over The World,' for which 'The Da Vinci Code' and 'Chariots of the Gods' were created in order to prevent.... 'Sacred Scroll of Seven Seals.'
