Translated from the Russian by Victor Marsden. The Protocols supposedly outlines a plan of action by elders of the Jewish Nation to rule the world -- to take control over key organizations, including assets, in order to manipulate world affairs in their favor. Some say the issue has already been settled conclusively -- that it is clearly a forgery. Although there may be final evidence to this effect, we have not seen a clear and convincing version of it produced by those making the claim. Others maintain that it was and is absolutely genuine -- proven by the fact that all copies were destroyed in Russia in the early 1900s by the Kerensky regime. In the following years, anyone caught with a copy could be, and sometimes were, shot on sight. It was law, The Protocols were taken seriously by the Russians and by people in America like the famed industrialist, Henry Ford. This seems to give it validity, but people (and nations) have been known to be fooled. If The Protocols are a forgery, they still form an interesting book which deserves to be studied in the same way "The War of the Worlds" radio broadcast duped many thousands into thinking we were being invaded by Martians in the early part of the 20th century. If, however. The Protocols are genuine (which can never be proven conclusively), it might cause some of us to keep a wary eye on world affairs. We neither support nor deny its message, we simply make it available for those who wish a copy.

Baron de Guldenstubbe thought statues wrote him letters. Lady Blount thought the earth was flat. Cyrus Teed thought it was hollow, and Edward Hine believed the British were the lost tribe of Israel. These are just a few of the stories that make up Eccentric Lives and Peculiar Notions, John Michell's fascinating new book. Available for the first time in paperback, this book explores the bizarre and often hilarious lives of wholehearted eccentrics with compassion and humor. As Michell explains, many of these eccentrics lived happy, prosperous lives, while others, such as the hapless inventor of a giant battleship made of ice, died alone and neglected. Whatever their history, these eccentrics come to life again on the pages of this uniquely marvelous book that will enchant readers of all ages.

Filled with illustrations and photos, Eccentric Lives and Peculiar Notions is a treat to read. And everyone who has ever wondered what the druids were really like or what the early UFOlogists thought they saw in the sky will enjoy this wild ride of a book.

The author investigates how anxiety about the arrival of the new century has cast everything from El Nino to sheep cloning in apocalyptic terms, simultaneously fuelling panic and fostering unfounded hope for a perfect world. Millennial rhetoric is both pervasive and persuasive, Quinby argues, because it operates with mutually reinforcing doses of fear and hope. Religious and secular anxiety erupts over charged issues such as sex education, the regulation of cyberspace and the Christian masculinity of the Promise Keepers. Quinby exposes the dangers of millennialist solutions, which link misogyny, homophobia and racism with absolutist claims about truth, morality, sexuality and technology. It is the absolutism of apocalyptic thought - not an impending apocalypse - that poses the more serious threat to society, Quinby maintains. Her work advocates a form of scepticism that challenges absolutism and encourages democratic participation.

Who among us still thinks the year 2000 is just an arbitrary turn of a calendar page? Why does its approach bring both fear of apocalyptic destruction and the promise of millennial salvation?

Aliens have invaded the United States. No longer confined to science fiction and tabloids, aliens appear in the New York Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal, at sweet counters (in chocolate-covered flying saucers and Martian melon-flavoured lollipops) and on Internet web sites. Aliens are at the centre of a faculty battle at Harvard. They have been used to market AT&T, cellular phones, Milky Way chocolate bars, Kodak film, Diet Coke, skateboard accessories and abduction insurance. A Gallup poll reports that 27 percent of Americans believe space aliens have visited Earth. A Time/CNN poll finds 80 percent of its respondents believe the US government is covering up knowledge of the existence of aliens.

In this work the author reveals the nature and existence of the hidden powers at work behind the Nazi organization, which he believes, is but the outward though appropriate, manifestation of satanist and diabolic agencies which employ it for their own malignant purposes. Satanic element in Naziism; Satanic power in old Germany; Witchcraft, satanism and the Vehmgerichte; Satanic power in modern Germany; Nazi pagan doctrine and church; Nazism and satanism.

Sitting in the ruins of the Third Reich, most Germans wanted to know which of the two post-war German states would erase the material traces of their wartime suffering most quickly, most thoroughly. Consumption and the quality of everyday life quickly became important battlefields upon which the East-West conflict would be fought out. This book focuses on the competing types of consumer societies that developed over time in the two Germanys and the legacy each left.

The Kabbalah is Judaism's intriguing mystical tradition, thousands of years old. In recent years, a growing number of people--both Jews and non-Jews--are finding the Kabbalah to be a fascinating treasure house of wisdom about the human mind. Men and women are discovering and applying Jewish mystical insights in daily life, and professionals in such fields as psychology, psychotherapy, and medicine are actively using Kabbalah in their work.
"Opening the Inner Gates "is an anthology concerning these new explorations. In sixteen chapters, thirteen contributors present both theoretical considerations and applied methods of Kabbalah in such areas as healing, the mind-body relationship, dreamwork, intuition and creativity, storytelling, women's spirituality, parenting, working with the elderly, and "repairing the world" ("tikkun olam)."

WHO IS ASHTAR? Man or Myth? Name or Title? Space Commander or Archangel? Intergalactic Spiritual Leader? The name Ashtar has become widely known in UFO Channeling circles for several decades. It is said that his messages are being beamed from a colossal Starship -- or Space Station -- beyond our atmosphere. According to his primary channel, Tuella (author of Project World Evacuation and On Earth Assignment), Ashtar is directly under the sponsorship of Lord Michael and the Great Central Sun Government of our galaxy, and is second only to the Beloved Jesus-Sananda in responsibility for the airborne division of the Brotherhood of Light. A great deal of Ashtar's popularity is due to his philosophical approach to our global problems and his efforts to raise our planetary vibrations. His work is aligned to that of the Federation of Free Worlds that comprises the totality of the Space Commands throughout the entire Omniverse. This volume contains the most recent information channeled by the Ashtar Command and consists of vital data on coming world events; the ongoing war against evil; and personal messages for world leaders and world conspirators; as well as those serving the Light regardless of their status on Earth at the present moment.

AMERICAN INDIANS AND LEGENDS OF THE GODS FROM OUTER SPACE - DO NATIVE AMERICANS KNOW MORE ABOUT UFOS THEN THE CIA Many researchers now believe the ancient legends of our native Americans tell of visitations to our planets hundreds of years ago by space travelers ... and that there is evidence that today's tribes are still in contact with beings from far away realms and other dimensions. With chapters by some of the most astute metaphysical writers -- including Brad Steiger and Chris Warner -- this volume delves into the theory projected by some that the Natives of our land will lead us to a safe "New World" based upon their other-worldly contacts.

In the last few years many books have been written about the life and times of Nikola Tesla. But the majority have been from a strictly "scientific" biographical point of view. They capture the essence of his being bought up in a small Bulgarian town and watched over his parents, as well as his early interest in electricity and in lighting up the world. But there is more to Tesla's life story than this. There are some who now believe Nikola Tesla was an extraterrestrial sent to bring mankind amazing advancements in science and technology? In fact this work reveals how no other man of science has played such a vital role in the scientific development of mankind. Most of us know that Nikola Tesla was the inventor of the AC motor, radio, robotics, remote control and holds hundreds of patents worldwide. But just how did Tesla go about developing his amazing gift of inventing? And why did the high-power, big-money corporations steal Tesla's most incredible inventions to leave him penniless and almost forgotten? This book by Commander X exposes the most important alternative scientific advancements of our time utilizing free energy which was uncovered by Tesla and perhaps derived from other worldly sources. One reader has stated: "THIS BOOK IS ONE OF A KIND. . . I have been privileged to read many books on the life of Nikola Tesla. This is one of the few that delve into the unusual aspects of Tesla's life. "The author -- a retired military intelligent officer -- did a background check an found out that Tesla had quite an unusual birth. He suggests that Nikola was actually a highly advanced space being who was reincarnated in an earthly body and left on the doorstep of the couple who raised him. "We find that Tesla did have among his friends an inventor from Baltimore by the name of Otis T. Carr who in the l960s constructed his own anti gravity device which he claimed could fly to the moon. He supposed met Tesla many times in the hotel where Tesla lived during the last years of his life. "We are treated to many insightful bits of information that have not been published elsewhere. This is a very readable book which anyone who is interested in Tesla's life -- and not so much technical information and patent information which can be found in hundred of other texts -- will find of great benefit." This book is very enjoyable and contains little known information. It has sold thousands of copies through word of mouth. Many say this work contains the key to Tesla's life that is being withheld from the world.
