Democracy at both the local and national levels recently had been
under savage assault. Martin Truth's fight was but one of many such
struggles to restore the meaning of representative government to a
system that had been corrupted by big money and corporate power.
"An Unlikely Truth" is an engaging story offering a strategy for
throwing the liars and crooks out of public office and restoring
representative democracy to our country. More important, it
embodies hope that not all is lost, that there is a "narrative"
which can begin to put America back on track, render government
again of the people, by the people, and for the people.

The president out of desperation perpetrates an end-of-the-world
hoax, trying re-establish control and get himself re-elected.
Blinders Keepers is social-political satire in the tradition of
Jonathan Swift, Kurt Vonnegut and Joseph Heller, but revved up and
spit-shined to take on the historical new levels of absurdity and
dysfunction of the 21st Century.Blinders Keepers is

Meet Noah Tass. Follow him as he tries to escape his hayseed
hometown in Missouri. This is not a movie. This is someone's life.
Noah was turning 23 and desperate leave. Pulnick had forever been a
blemish on the anemic face of rural Bible-belt America. Always
bland and soporific, it was now being invaded by white supremacist
meth heads, visited by an unprecedented crime wave, exploited by
spiritualists and local politicos, and driven to hysteria by
paranoid rumors that the world would end on November 11th.
Moreover, Noah's personal life was becoming more convoluted by the
day. Everything seemed to conspire against his singular need to get
out of this dreary, dead-end, death-wish armpit of a town.
"11-11-11" is what you call a feel good novel. You'll feel good

With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1992, American citizens
were promised a "peace dividend", i.e. less money for war, more for
peace and a good life for all. The U.S. military under misguided
leadership has attacked eight countries since then. The defense
budget has exploded, buying a lot of junk that doesn't work and
military hardware we don't need. This is not pocket change. The
fraudulent wars and waste by the military amounts to no less than
$4.82 trillion! This is money U.S. citizens paid as taxes in good
faith, trusting their leaders were telling them the truth. They
weren't. They lied to us! The $4.82 trillion was taken under
fraudulent terms, and squandered. Our "peace dividend" is now due
and payable. This equates to $14,952 for each and every living U.S.
citizen. A family of four will get a refund of over $59,800. This
short book explains how we can get our money back and put America
back on a path of peace and prosperity for future generations.
The Billy Green saga continues! Billy's challenging, sometimes
humorous, sometimes tragic, always unpredictable journey. Billy
came to know one thing for sure. Love is real. Billy knew the real
score. Love is the light that never dims. Love is a wine that flows
in our hearts. Love is a wonder that has no beginning or end. Love
is a master key that opens the gates of perfection. Love is the
language our souls use to speak to one another. Love is the
trafficking of fantasies and transcending of mortality. Love is an
energy that can neither be created or destroyed. Love is God Allah
Yahweh Shiva Qat Aphrodite. Love is touch smell feel taste listen
pray. Love is the poetry of the senses. Love is metaphysical
gravity. Love is the gift of oneself. Love is sweet tyranny. All
you need is love.
"12-12-12" is the story of a great nation falling apart and one
young man's quest for meaning in the midst of chaos. It takes the
stuff of reality and pitches it to a high scream. Open your mind
but cover your ears. Knowledge is bliss but it's loud and painful.
Yet somehow still funny. "12-12-12" manages to tell it like it is
by telling it like it isn't. Granted, this is not what actually
happened during 2012. But what unfolds is not more implausible. Nor
is it less implausible. It's dark, ironic, witty, at times
surrealistic and just plain weird. One reviewer calls it
"laugh-out-loud brain food for hungry minds."
This is the first book of a trilogy. In a nutshell ...Poor Billy
Green! When he was just turning four, his father tried to throw him
in the trash. He was a smart kid but that just seemed to create
enemies. His mom did everything to protect him. But this was
Detroit, armpit of the wasteland! Catholic school didn't help much,
except the time he got his first kiss from an atheist nun. Home
life was dismal. Was his father capable of anything but drinking
beer and farting? And what was with that neighbor who made puppets
and tried to molest Billy? Golly! Detroit was sucking the life out
of him. At such a young age. Then adolescence swirled around him.
Like water in a toilet bowl. High school was a B movie. Only
without a plot. So finally he did something about it. Billy ran
away ...to college. Cornell University. That was a good move for
sure! He studied hard, lost his virginity, met the love of his
life. Things were definitely looking up! What could possibly go
wrong?
How do we function in a world which is both as randomly and
intentionally cruel, as it is randomly and intentionally kind? Can
we make sense of our lives when so much around us makes no sense?
In this, the final book of the trilogy, we find out what it means
to be a "man who loves too much". More importantly, we discover if
Billy Green is such a man.
This is a manual for constructive voting in the 2016 and 2018
elections. It presents a concrete plan for wresting control of the
country and our democracy back from the rich and powerful, and
restoring the constitutional mandate of government of the people,
by the people, and for the people. There is a financial reward for
saving America from authoritarian rule by the corporate elite.
Plus, if voters unite behind the strategy contained in this short
book, each and every U.S. citizen will end up $14,084 richer.
Prepare to understand contemporary politics as never before!
Prepare to see the future of American democracy! A recent study at
Princeton University came to a shocking conclusion. Our system has
been so corrupted by money and influence peddling, America is no
longer a democracy. This manifesto offers a detailed, step-by-step
plan for cleaning up the corruption in Washington DC, replacing the
current crop of pay-for-play politicians with progressive,
independent, minor-party candidates, who will be bound by legal
contract when elected, to faithfully serve the interests of the
voting public. This is electoral reform so radical that in one
master stroke, it puts America on the path to a healthy economy and
directly addresses its #1 and #2 challenges: the suicidal march to
war and the destructive impact of a historically high level of
wealth inequality. Brace yourself for a real game-changer which
will redefine politics for the foreseeable future.
It was a time of stalemate, gridlock, divisiveness, and
polarization. The nation plunged into greater crisis and
dysfunction as the list of things which weren't getting done grew
longer. The survival of democracy and America itself were
increasingly in doubt. In this political drama, a bright, young,
idealistic, Green Party candidate, in his bid for the congressional
seat of a very conservative district in Ohio, teams with a
beautiful, fiery African-American intern to combat the slick
deceptions and ruthless tactics of a sweet-talking right wing
incumbent. This is the inspiring story of a small committed group
of activists who either never knew or forgot the meaning of the
word 'impossible'.
