The trip to heaven in order to meet God has proved that the latter was wrong in claiming full authority and ownership of the creation of the whole universe. Satan, accompanied by his staunch men___a think tank of philosophers proved to God that the latter failed in his promises tendered to men and that, God has been for too long the perpetrator of the sufferings of the humanity, not Satan as it has been all along alleged.

We ended our long journey in Book One with a conclusion that Satan is the only enemy of God and man. He is responsible for our growing sinfulness that cause crises and wars from our family to the global levels. In all its attacks, this enemy uses man as its agents by tempting us in our hearts to offend God through our sins. Accordingly, we proceed in This Book Two to bring these Agents to the Global Court for trial in order to enhance the level of Global Peace in the world and our Spiritual Relationship with God. To undertake this Trial effectively, we must follow the Pillars that Christ established for us through His teaching and Commandments. On the secular level, Christ commanded that if our brother offends us we must first settle with him. If he refuses, we obtain witnesses and bring him before the court of witnesses for settlement and justice. On the spiritual level of restoring our relationship with God, Christ established the Pillar of the Sacrament of Penance through His Church to provide us the means of settling with God and obtain His forgiveness for our offence. These secular and spiritual pillars had sustained Our Good Relationship with God as well as Global Peace, Justice, Good Governance and Modern Civilization for over two thousand years since they were established through His Church. In this Book Two, we take up His Secular Pillar of seeking Settlement and Justice against our Brothers who had been causing global decline in peace through their cooperation with Satan. To this end , we brought them before a Fictional Global Trial Court GTC -- for settlement. We leave them to seek settlement with God through the Church as commanded by Christ . At the conclusion of their Trial, by the GTC, we proceeded in Book Three to implement the Courts Recommendations in a Fictional Secular Government of Odom. In Books Four and Five we survey in greater detail the ways our Enemy uses people at their various Professions and Government positions to tempt us to disobey Gods Good Commandments that provide the Pillars of Justice, Peace and Progress in our Lives.

In the first edition of the Bancroft Prize-winning Entertaining Satan, John Putnam Demos presented an entirely new perspective on American witchcraft. By investigating the surviving historical documents of over a hundred actual witchcraft cases, he vividly recreated the world of New England during the witchcraft trials and brought to light fascinating information on the role of witchcraft in early American culture. Now Demos has revisited his original work and updated it to illustrate why these early Americans' strange views on witchcraft still matter to us today. He provides a new preface that puts forth a broader overview of witchcraft and looks at its place around the world--from ancient times right up to the present.

The result of a perfect storm of factors that culminated in a great moral catastrophe, the Salem witch trials of 1692 took a breathtaking toll on the young English colony of Massachusetts. Over 150 people were imprisoned, and nineteen men and women, including a minister, were executed by hanging. The colonial government, which was responsible for initiating the trials, eventually repudiated the entire affair as a great "delusion of the Devil." In Satan and Salem, Benjamin Ray looks beyond single-factor interpretations to offer a far more nuanced view of why the Salem witch-hunt spiraled out of control. Rather than assigning blame to a single perpetrator, Ray assembles portraits of several major characters, each of whom had complex motives for accusing his or her neighbors. In this way, he reveals how religious, social, political, and legal factors all played a role in the drama. Ray’s historical database of court records, documents, and maps yields a unique analysis of the geographic spread of accusations and trials, ultimately showing how the witch-hunt resulted in the execution of so many people—far more than any comparable episode on this side of the Atlantic. In addition to the print volume, Satan and Salem will also be available as a linked e-book offering the reader the opportunity to investigate firsthand the primary sources and maps on which Ray’s groundbreaking argument rests.

He was big . . . the biggest of the litter . . . big enough to wrestle bears, and he did, two, maybe more; but he killed many. When he woke up in that black inky night he couldn’t see, thought he was blind, and had a massive hangover from his Daddy’s Cherry Jump moonshine. A buzzard had died in his mouth and with it came rotten dog breath. A headache like someone had hit him with a pole axe made him feel like he was dead, dead as four-o’clock. And did he smell! Wow! His torn bib overalls were soaked in sour mash. Other than not knowing where he was, he still thought he was alright, and that too was a problem. Was there any hope or any salvation? Luckily, he had been weather hardened by war. He stood up and he tired to walk, but ran into something. It knocked him down. When he fell, he heard something rattle. It was a trace chain attached to a leather dog collar around his neck. But in the inky dark he couldn’t see his hand in front of him. He got up again and found the trace chain wrapped around a tree, and locked. Shocked, he screamed out, “Goddamn! I’m chained to a tree,” then screamed louder, “They have chained me to a tree like a wild cur dog!” Now mad as hornet with his stinger busted, he felt around and found something else about the tree. This time he screamed even louder, “Son of a bitch! It’s my goddamn tree! Who in the hell would chain me to my own tree?” He sat back down against the family tree stunned, and then realized; “It’s got to be my . . . family. Chained me like a goddamn cur dog to a tree. But which one of them would have the nerve to do this . . . to ME?” Then he realized it could be only one person. He stood up and screamed, “Mama! Then he fell down again, pounded the ground, cried like his heart tore out. He got up off the ground, went into a wild-man’s rage then fainted with exhaustion. Then he got sick, tried to walk, but threw up all over himself. And the chain snatched him back and down into his vomit; it was all over him like those bugs. He pounded the ground with his fist, wondering how in the world he had gotten here and where he was. Again and again, he got up. Each time he tried to walk in another direction, but the chain snatched him off his feet and back down on the ground and into his rotten vomit. It didn’t matter what direction he walked. Finally exhausted, he couldn’t get back on his feet. Still he kept asking himself, “Where in the hell am I, and who in the hell put this collar on me?” All night he shouted and wallowed in his vomit like an itchy, old, fat hog taking a bath in new mud. He heard no one come in the dark, silent, black night. Thank God! His vomit smell finally ran the goddamn bugs off his body and away.

Genre: Biography & Autobiography
ISBN:

For Americans and Global citizens of the Earth, let us make one thing real clear: "The American Government is satanic and white supremacists' controlled!". - Author Jose Del Corte Discover the current facts and real state of the union in this explosive book on how white supremacy is institutionalized in the American Government today. Currently, Chicanos, Indigenous, and Mexicans are under attack by the United States Government. Doubt it? Then why do they spend millions of dollars tracking and hacking Jose Del Corte and why have Americans legalized caging Brown children? Right now at this very moment, Brown-Americans are currently being targeted by American law enforcement, the military, and the courts. Jose has experienced this first hand, and provides an account of events that has led him to write and report about his own experiences and how the American Government is operating on a daily basis. The U.S. Government is controlled and operated by satanic white supremacists and they have many servants that obey their masters. In this new and explosive book, Jose links the American Government's satanic agenda with white supremacy. In today's America new military technology is being used by local law enforcement and the taxpayers are paying for it all. All of today's advanced technology is being used for spying on ordinary Brown-Americans. As Indians and Mexicans are the original inhabitants of this Land, the American Government has done everything they can to suppress and oppress Brown people of human, legal, and civil rights. American white supremacists are having their "heyday" under the leadership of the current white supremacist President Donald J. Trump. From the Federal to Municipal levels of American Government, white supremacists are controlling and callling the shots in the military and in law enforcement. The agenda of white supremacy is truly satanic in origin. Since the era of the civil rights movement, very little has changed for American ethnic minorities. Chicanos, Mexicans, and Natives ("Indians") have been struggling for their equal and civil rights but are getting nowhere under American law. As a natural born Mexican-American citizen, Jose has been experiencing racism in America all of his life. Jose has filed several lawsuits against the State of California, County of Los Angeles, and other public entities and various law enforcement agencies. Jose exposes and details how the American Government uses advanced technology and employs a variety of people to carry out the "American satanic white supremacist agenda". From a philosophical perspective, Jose also demonstrates how it is not in God's design or plan for American satanic white supremacists to control and oppress Brown people throughout the world. Jose opens his new and controversial book with the fact that the One Supreme God does truly exist and created everything seen and unseen in all of the Universe. Jose then goes on to explain how Chicanos, Indians, and Mexicans have suffered since the Europeans invaded and took control of their original land as far back as 1492. Jose then exposes the Courts and Government agencies for their financing and promoting of their illegal activities against Brown-Americans. American law enforcement operates to control and secure the legal rights of the American satanic white supremacists. In this new and provocative book, Jose proves his case with evidence, names, and locations of the American satanic white supremacists and their servants. In Jose's view, American satanic white supremacy can be defeated, but not without the One Supreme. In this book, Jose covers the current state of philosophy, politics, spy technology, and American law.

More than two hundred new and challenging logic puzzles—the simplest brainteaser to the most complex paradoxes in contemporary mathematical thinking—from our topmost puzzlemaster (“the most entertaining logician who ever lived,” Martin Gardner has called him). Our guide to the puzzles is the Sorcerer, who resides on the Island of Knights and Knaves, where knights always tell the truth and knaves always lie, and he introduces us to the amazing magic—logic—that enables to discover which inhabitants are which. Then, in a picaresque adventure in logic, he takes us to the planet Og, to the Island of Partial Silence, and to a land where metallic robots wearing strings of capital letters are noisily duplicating and dismantling themselves and others. The reader’s job is to figure out how it all works. Finally, we accompany the Sorcerer on an alluring tour of Infinity which includes George Cantor’s amazing mathematical insights. The tour (and the book) ends with Satan devising a diabolical puzzle for one of Cantor’s prize students—who outwits him! In sum: a devilish magician’s cornucopia of puzzles—a delight for every age and level of ability.
