Discover the connection between the world's most infamous secret society, the Bible's greatest prophetic mystery, and the surprising hope of the end times. Time is running out on God's clock. Are we witnessing the creation of a global stage that will be overtaken in the end times? THE BABYLON CODE foretells an international takeover by the world's elite--a global political and financial coup that will set the stage for the last days--and reveals how secret forces are at work to create a global government, economic system, and religion. Investigative journalist Troy Anderson and prophecy expert Paul McGuire have pieced together the apocalyptic puzzle with award-winning journalism and credible end-times expertise.

From the authors of the international bestseller The Babylon Code comes an explosive exposé of the chilling truth about the fierce opposition to the Trump presidency, and why the globalist elite and Deep State will stop at nothingassassination, military coup, staged economic collapse, or worse-to overthrow him.

"Trumpocalypse!" It's the media-coined meme inciting panic and fear that America has elected an unstable man who will barge into delicate international affairs like a bull in a china shop and incite nations bent on America's destruction to trigger World War III-an unprecedented nuclear apocalypse ending the world as we know it. But is the media telling us the truth?

No, say internationally-recognized prophecy expert and Fox News and History Channel commentator Paul McGuire and Pulitzer Prize-nominated investigative journalist Troy Anderson. America's most insidious enemies are not hostile nations; they are elite globalists-the "Establishment" that is making the "1 percent" even richer while working- and middle-class people watch their incomes and net worth's flatline or plummet.

The authors fearlessly expose the globalist elite's secret plan for humanity and campaign of mass deception. Using documentation gleaned from years of journalistic investigation and extensive interviews with over fifty of the world's most respected geopolitical, economic and military affairs experts, faith leaders, and biblical scholars, McGuire and Anderson unmask these elites as members of secret societies with deep occult connections who have gained control of America's dominant institutionsgovernment, education, entertainment, international banking, and even the media.

Trumpocalypse explores the enigmatic prophecies and "biblical codes" involving Trump, and asks whether God raised up President Trump as a fearless leader to guide America and the free world through a series of major crises as the biblical end-time narrative unfolds, as many people with prophetic gifts are predicting, and shows why everyday Americans and evangelicals have rallied around Trump as their last hope of saving America and averting the horrors of the Apocalypse. It further reveals why Trump and millions of "deplorables" are fighting to stop the hidden agenda of the Establishment, and how the perplexing chaos enveloping the planet could paradoxically signal the beginning of the great end-times awakening that millions are praying for.

Here is an invitation to join the anti-Establishment surge-what evangelist Franklin Graham calls "the Christian revolution"-and discover how to fulfill your own destiny in the run-up to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

The characters are a mixture of scorned lovers, psycho stalkers, literate pugnacious lesbians, Bill Gates, serial killers, the KGB, canine tossing, an Ecstasy-popping Hollywood director, a drug-peddling Mossad Agent, trans-gender pornogrpahy, date rapists, the Russian mafia, nefarious hippie bands, more junkies and drunks that you can shake a stick at, trick-turning Catholic high school girls, Jesus Freaks, swinging Upper East Side housewives, Internet disinformation, a trannie hot dog vendor, a heroin-smuggling minister, and of course, the CIA.

Beginning in 1969, the Chicano Moratorium movement organized Mexican-American protests seeking social justice in the United States, especially in the Southwest. The movement culminated in 1970 as tens of thousands participated in a sometimes bloody demonstration march through the streets of East Los Angeles. The political unrest caused by the movement was still winding down in the fall of 1971, when along came a bespectacled Okie gringo sent to teach math and English in an East LA church school. "Hopie and the Los Homes Gang" is an ethnography written like a novel about Chicano gangs in East LA just after the Chicano Moratorium. In this true story, a Brother of the Catholic Church finds himself in the middle of East LA's turmoil, where gangs are everywhere. Brother Hilary recognizes their needs and develops his own approach to try to help them through tennis and exposure to the non-barrio world. This revised edition adds a 2011 afterword giving an update on the lives of the people in the story. Although suitable for general audiences, the book can and has been used for college and high school classes such as criminal justice, sociology, and ethnic studies.
