And the only way to prevent the next attack is to work together...

Pages : 192
Book Description
This is not the same as the dozens of books on the Clinton Death List. I know every one of them say that, but this book looks for truths by investigation of the elements behind the events and how they affected our Country. In this book we will review some of the most important elements like the Inslaw Scandal, the Mena, Arkansas Drug Cartel, the October Surprise, the BCCI money Laundering, the Clipper spy chip and Skipjack, the PROMIS tracking program, Clinton's ADFA Financial Authority and its significance, the connection of the Clintons to ARKLA and that mess. We will also look at Systematics and their part and the Clipper chip decryption to find out why things were done rather than simply making a list.If you think that Democrat side or Republican side have more fault in this cancer, you will begin to see more about reality than before. If you still believe Vince Foster died because of Whitewater, you will find it doesn't begin to explain what happened and Ron Brown's plane crash is reviewed to see if things were on the up and up there as well. With 11 questionable plane crashes in 4 years, one has to wonder. IF you think that George HW Bush had nothing to do with all of this, you will, hopefully, have your eyes opened and begin to see things with more clarity.

Into the Kill Zone

Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
What's it like to have the legal sanction to shoot and kill? This compelling and often startling book answers this, and many other questions about the oft-times violent world inhabited by our nation's police officers. Written by a cop-turned university professor who interviewed scores of officers who have shot people in the course of their duties, Into the Kill Zone presents firsthand accounts of the role that deadly force plays in American police work. This brilliantly written book tells how novice officers are trained to think about and use the power they have over life and death, explains how cops live with the awesome responsibility that comes from the barrels of their guns, reports how officers often hold their fire when they clearly could have shot, presents hair-raising accounts of what it's like to be involved in shoot-outs, and details how shooting someone affects officers who pull the trigger. From academy training to post-shooting reactions, this book tells the compelling story of the role that extreme violence plays in the lives of America's cops.

The Brooklyn Thrill-Kill Gang and the Great Comic Book Scare of the 1950s
Author: Mariah Adin
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN:
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
What caused four recently bar mitzvahed middle-class youths to go on a crime spree of assault and murder in 1954? This book provides a compelling narrative retelling of the boys, their crimes, and a U.S. culture obsessed with juvenile delinquency. After ongoing months of daily headlines about gang shootouts, stomp-killings, and millions of dollars worth of vandalism, by the summer of 1954, America had had enough of juvenile delinquency. It was in this environment that 18-year-old Jack Koslow and the other three teenage members of the Brooklyn Thrill Killers committed their heinous crimes and achieved notoriety. The Brooklyn Thrill-Kill Gang and the Great Comic Book Scare of the 1950s exposes the underbelly of America's mid-century, the terrible price of assimilation, the uncomfortable bedfellows of comic books and juvenile delinquency, and the dystopia already in bloom amongst American youth well before the 1960s. Readers will be engrossed and horrified by the tale of the Brooklyn Thrill-Kill Gang whose shocking, front-page story could easily have been copy-pasted from today's online news sites. Author Mariah Adin takes readers along for a breathtaking moment-by-moment retelling of the crime spree, the subsequent interrogations, and the dramatic courtroom showdown, interspersed with expository chapters on juvenile delinquency, America's Jewish community in the post-Holocaust period, and the anti-comics movement. This book serves to merge the history of juvenile delinquency with that of the Great Comic Book Scare, highlights the assimilation of immigrants into America's white mainstream gone wrong, and complicates our understanding of America's "Golden Age."
