Technology belongs to the Illuminati which now call themselves The Builders and, average man has become tribal much like the American Indian of the early 1800's.

In all times; the past, the present, the future; there is always someone that wants to take what you have and Don will not stand for that. But, will he survive the horrors of his time?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the early 1980's I, as Ricky Gilmore, and a few friends form a survival group called The Wild Hogs. Believing that the United States would soon fall to a newly elected and self proclaimed Marxist president, the Wild Hogs plan on surviving the outcome. As time went on, young Ricky moved up from just being a new survival group leader to ranks that controlled most of the fighting forces in Texas that stayed busy fighting the invading United Nations troops. Before long Ricky found out that a much more powerful force was controlling the United Nation's troops and the president of the once great United States. There was no longer a United States and most southern states formed their own republics. With most of the nation fragmented into their own republics Ricky knew that they had to get united. The United Republics of America was formed just in time to see more enemies than they might could handle. The fight was on as the UN started using nuclear and biological weapons of all types. As the population of Earth droped dramatically young Ricky and what is left of his fighting forces must try to survive.

Book Synopsis Saints Under Siege by : Stuart A. Wright
Download or read book Saints Under Siege written by Stuart A. Wright and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 2008, state police and child protection authorities raided Yearning for Zion Ranch near Eldorado, Texas, a community of 800 members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints (FLDS), a polygamist branch of the Mormons. State officials claimed that the raid, which was triggered by anonymous phone calls from an underage girl to a domestic violence hotline, was based on evidence of widespread child sexual abuse. In a high-risk paramilitary operation, 439 children were removed from the custody of their parents and held until the Third Court of Appeals found that the state had overreached. Not only did the state fail to corroborate the authenticity of the hoax calls, but evidence reveals that Texas officials had targeted the FLDS from the outset, planning and preparing for a confrontation. Saints under Siege provides a thorough, theoretically grounded critical examination of the Texas state raid on the FLDS while situating this event in a broader sociological context. The volume considers the raid as an exemplar case of a larger pattern of state actions against minority religions, offering comparative analyses to other government raids both historically and across cultures. In its look beyond the Texas raid, it provides compelling evidence of social intolerance and state repression of unpopular minority faiths in general, and the FLDS in particular.

Book Synopsis The Texas Supreme Court by : James L. Haley
Download or read book The Texas Supreme Court written by James L. Haley and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2013-02-15 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Few people realize that in the area of law, Texas began its American journey far ahead of most of the rest of the country, far more enlightened on such subjects as women’s rights and the protection of debtors.” Thus James Haley begins this highly readable account of the Texas Supreme Court. The first book-length history of the Court published since 1917, it tells the story of the Texas Supreme Court from its origins in the Republic of Texas to the political and philosophical upheavals of the mid-1980s. Using a lively narrative style rather than a legalistic approach, Haley describes the twists and turns of an evolving judiciary both empowered and constrained by its dual ties to Spanish civil law and English common law. He focuses on the personalities and judicial philosophies of those who served on the Supreme Court, as well as on the interplay between the Court’s rulings and the state’s unique history in such areas as slavery, women’s rights, land and water rights, the rise of the railroad and oil and gas industries, Prohibition, civil rights, and consumer protection. The book is illustrated with more than fifty historical photos, many from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It concludes with a detailed chronology of milestones in the Supreme Court’s history and a list, with appointment and election dates, of the more than 150 justices who have served on the Court since 1836.

Download or read book Texans in Revolt written by Alwyn Barr and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-05 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive history and analysis of the Siege of Béxar in early nineteenth-century Texas. While the battles of 1836—the Alamo, Goliad, and San Jacinto—are well-known moments in the Texas Revolution, the battle for Béxar in the fall of 1835 is often overlooked. Yet this lengthy siege, which culminated in a Texan victory in December 1835, set the stage for those famous events and for the later revolutionary careers of Sam Houston, James Bowie, and James W. Fannin. Drawing on extensive research and on-site study around San Antonio, Alwyn Barr completely maps the ebbs and flows of the Béxar campaign for the first time. He studies the composition of the two armies and finds that they were well matched in numbers and fighting experience—revising a common belief that the Texans defeated a force four times larger. He analyzes the tactics of various officers, revealing how ambition and revolutionary politics sometimes influenced the Texas army as much as military strategy. And he sheds new light on the roles of the Texan and Mexican commanders, Stephen F. Austin and Martín Perfecto de Cos. As this excellent military history makes clear, to the famous rallying cry “Remember the Alamo!” “Remember Goliad!” should be added: “And don't forget San Antonio!” “Will most likely remain for some time the standard work on this battle. Outstanding scholarship and research are reflected in the book, including on-site study of the locale. . . . This is an important military history, and as such, it should be in all Texana collections.” —Review of Texas Books “This is a significant contribution to the study of Texas history. Texans in Revolt will be the standard work on this campaign.” —Ralph A. Wooster, Associate Vice President and Regents Professor, Lamar University

Book Synopsis Introduction to Waco siege by : Gilad James, PhD
Download or read book Introduction to Waco siege written by Gilad James, PhD and published by Gilad James Mystery School. This book was released on with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Waco siege was a lengthy stand-off between the FBI, ATF, and members of the Branch Davidian cult in Waco, Texas. The Branch Davidians was a religious group led by David Koresh, an apocalyptic prophet who claimed to be the messiah. The FBI and ATF had been investigating the group for months, believing that they were illegally stockpiling weapons. On February 28, 1993, ATF officials arrived at the Branch Davidian compound to serve a search warrant and arrest Koresh. However, a gunfight broke out, leading to a 51-day siege that ended in tragedy. During the siege, the FBI and ATF made several unsuccessful attempts to end the stand-off peacefully. Negotiations with Koresh eventually broke down, and the FBI made the decision to end the siege by force, resulting in a violent fire that engulfed the compound. In total, 76 Branch Davidian members died, including Koresh and several children. The Waco siege became a controversial event in American history, with many questioning the FBI's tactics and the legality of the use of deadly force. The incident also highlighted the potential danger of religious cults and extremist groups.

Book Synopsis The Encyclopedia of the Mexican-American War [3 volumes] by : Spencer C. Tucker
Download or read book The Encyclopedia of the Mexican-American War [3 volumes] written by Spencer C. Tucker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-10-09 with total page 1159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This user-friendly encyclopedia comprises a wide array of accessible yet detailed entries that address the military, social, political, cultural, and economic aspects of the Mexican-American War. The Encyclopedia of the Mexican-American War: A Political, Social, and Military History provides an in-depth examination of not only the military conflict itself, but also the impact of the war on both nations; and how this conflict was the first waged by Americans on foreign soil and served to establish critical U.S. military, political, and foreign policy precedents. The entries analyze the Mexican-American War from both the American and Mexican perspectives, in equal measure. In addition to discussing the various campaigns, battles, weapons systems, and other aspects of military history, the three-volume work also contextualizes the conflict within its social, cultural, political, and economic milieu, and places the Mexican-American War into its proper historical and historiographical contexts by covering the eras both before and after the war. This information is particularly critical for students of American history because the conflict fomented sectional conflict in the United States, which resulted in the U.S. Civil War.

Book Synopsis Exodus from the Alamo by : Phillip Thomas Tucker
Download or read book Exodus from the Alamo written by Phillip Thomas Tucker and published by Casemate. This book was released on 2010-03-15 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award-winning historian provides a provocative new analysis of the Battle of the Alamo—including new information on the fate of Davy Crockett. Contrary to legend, we now know that the defenders of the Alamo during the Texan Revolution died in a merciless predawn attack by Mexican soldiers. With extensive research into recently discovered Mexican accounts, as well as forensic evidence, historian Phillip Tucker sheds new light on the famous battle, contending that the traditional myth is even more off-base than we thought. In a startling revelation, Tucker uncovers that the primary fights took place on the plain outside the fort. While a number of the Alamo’s defenders hung on inside, most died while attempting to escape. Capt. Dickinson, with cannon atop the chapel, fired repeatedly into the throng of enemy cavalry until he was finally cut down. The controversy surrounding Davy Crockett still remains, though the recently authenticated diary of the Mexican Col. José Enrique de la Peña offers evidence that he surrendered. Notoriously, Mexican Pres. Gen. Antonio López de Santa Anna burned the bodies of the Texans who had dared stand against him. As this book proves in thorough detail, the funeral pyres were well outside the fort—that is, where the two separate groups of escapees fell on the plain, rather than in the Alamo itself.
