Never afraid to take on tough cases or tackle difficult issues, here in From Freedom to Slavery Gerry Spence comes at us uncensored, with his passions on fire. In this underground bestseller, which has come to define Spence's political philosophy, he speaks out against the destructive forces in America today-forces of government and corporate tyranny that are robbing us of our freedom-and he warns us that time is running out. In a dramatic new chapter, presented for the first time in a trade paperback edition, Spence recounts in astonishing detail the government shoot-out at Ruby Ridge and the resulting trial of separatist Randy Weaver, revealing the important lessons we must learn from this tragic case. Finally, Spence makes the eloquent case that we, as Americans, have delivered our freedoms to new masters: corporate and governmental conglomerates, our biased court system, and the censored media. From Freedom to Slavery is an urgent work that urges us to resist this tyranny, a book that must be read and discussed by all concerned citizens of our troubled land.

The US Constitution of 1789 has been disobeyed from the outset because it could be. Its anti-democratic bias, its lack of democratic process, has made it impossible for the people to directly police their so-called "representatives," judges, and constitutional officers. None of them, contrary to what they so often suggest, are the champions of the objective truth. All human thought and action is tradition-bound. Because it was not specifically prohibited and sanctioned in the constitution of 1789, the government has monopolized the means of cultural production -- the schools, the universities, the welfare system, policy-making science, immigration, and the courts. It has leveraged this monopoly in its attempt to make its liberal, rationalist tradition the culturally dominant tradition and the dominant interpretation of the otherwise static text of the positive law -- including the constitution itself. The so-called "rule of law" is the rule of a dominant tradition. We must make it impossible for the government to unilaterally determine that tradition. Democracy is the private ownership and control of the means of cultural production. This must be asserted explicitly in our constitution if democracy is going to survive. We need a new postmodern constitution which rejects the modern liberal notion that the government can be rooted in universal standards of rational justification and universal principles of justice; that it can be tradition-neutral. Democracy is rooted in a whole web of belief about Reality, including the nature of man and therefore the nature of justice. The Rebirth Constitution recognizes the Christian foundations of real democracy, including the rejection of any official state religion and the separation of the state from every form of non-technical education. The western religious tradition is the foundation of all limits on the state. The state must have a tradition to administer justice. Paradoxically, that tradition must be one which, by its very nature, puts itself at risk by giving the people complete control over the means of cultural production. Without this popular control of the culture there is no liberty and there is no peace. This is what justifies the very same government's enforcement of the democratically derived law; its prohibition of sub-cultural law when such law violates the law written by the people and interpreted by the tradition they make dominant through competing private education and the election of their judges. The Rebirth Constitution is an explicitly postmodern, neopopulist artifact. It is a text that will please libertarians, but whose foundations are unquestionably post-liberal.

In this pathbreaking book, Pierre Charbonnier opens up a new intellectual terrain: an environmental history of political ideas. His aim is not to locate the seeds of ecological thought in the history of political ideas as others have done, but rather to show that all political ideas, whether or not they endorse ecological ideals, are informed by a certain conception of our relationship to the Earth and to our environment. The fundamental political categories of modernity were founded on the idea that we could improve on nature, that we could exert a decisive victory over its excesses and claim unlimited access to earthly resources. In this way, modern thinkers imagined a political society of free individuals, equal and prosperous, alongside the development of industry geared towards progress and liberated from the Earth’s shackles. Yet this pact between democracy and growth has now been called into question by climate change and the environmental crisis. It is therefore our duty today to rethink political emancipation, bearing in mind that this can no longer draw on the prospect of infinite growth promised by industrial capitalism. Ecology must draw on the power harnessed by nineteenth-century socialism to respond to the massive impact of industrialization, but it must also rethink the imperative to offer protection to society by taking account of the solidarity of social groups and their conditions in a world transformed by climate change. This timely and original work of social and political theory will be of interest to a wide readership in politics, sociology, environmental studies and the social sciences and humanities generally.

This book describes Life's Mysteries from a Hypnotist's Point of View. The Dolores Cannon Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique takes you to the deepest level of trance, to the very Source of any issues in this Lifetime. This book is a sequel to Karen's first book on Chinese Horoscopes, and delves more deeply into the energies at play. She has portrayed some of her own insights into the human condition, and offers the "get out of hell for free cards".There are Conscious ways of helping oneself when a problem arises, although hypnosis is, of course, contacting the Subconscious directly and deals with all problems all at once because the source is found and the individual's Soul Truth surfaces, not just this life's story. You become the best version of yourself by using these tools. The reason most people think that they are stuck is usually not the "real reason" they are stuck. Hypnosis looks to solve the problem and not just clear the symptom. It requires a change in Worldview to understand reality in this way, because the five senses of our body are very narrow perceptual ranges. Traumas early in life can disconnect us. Much like a tree where the sap is free flowing and brings nourishment to it, so do we need that free flowing energy of our Souls. If we have fears, it is as the tree where the sap has been blocked. What happens to the tree then is very much like what happens to us -- a slow death. That is why it is necessary to find the source of the fears, for that is where the blockage is, so that the person can move from the Stomach (where fear resides and stops proper food digestion) into the Love of the Heart. We are not a whole person if we are disconnected from our Higher Selves.

Nineteenth-century Cincinnati was northern in its geography, southern in its economy and politics, and western in its commercial aspirations. While those identities presented a crossroad of opportunity for native whites and immigrants, African Americans endured economic repression and a denial of civil rights, compounded by extreme and frequent mob violence. No other northern city rivaled Cincinnati's vicious mob spirit. Frontiers of Freedom follows the black community as it moved from alienation and vulnerability in the 1820s toward collective consciousness and, eventually, political self-respect and self-determination. As author Nikki M. Taylor points out, this was a community that at times supported all-black communities, armed self-defense, and separate, but independent, black schools. Black Cincinnati's strategies to gain equality and citizenship were as dynamic as they were effective. When the black community united in armed defense of its homes and property during an 1841 mob attack, it demonstrated that it was no longer willing to be exiled from the city as it had been in 1829. Frontiers of Freedom chronicles alternating moments of triumph and tribulation, of pride and pain; but more than anything, it chronicles the resilience of the black community in a particularly difficult urban context at a defining moment in American history.
