Sinisterism : Secular Religion of the Lie Volume 2
ISBN: 9781478712381 / Angielski / Miękka / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The evil of Sinisterism, the Secular Religion of the Lie, is incompatible with the Judeo- Christian moral and philosophical system. One consequence of this is that Sinisterists try to persuade us that history shows the wrongness of Judeo-Christianity. In fact, real history, which is often covered by layers of Sinisterist defamation, shows precisely the opposite. Bolshevik Sinisterism, for example, warred against Jews just as Nazi Sinisterism warred against Christianity. Ultimately in this world, we are offered a number of false gods and goddesses-prosperity, health, science and the like-but...

Sinisterism : Secular Religion of the Lie: How the Myth of an Ideological Spectrum Helps Evil in Our World
ISBN: 9781478713470 / Angielski / Miękka / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The ideological spectrum, with its notional "left" and "right," is simply an invention of those who would take our liberty, poison civic life with suspicion and hatred, and create a reality in which every aspect of life is "political." Nazis, Bolsheviks, Radical Islamists, Fascists, Japanese imperialists are exactly the same as what we today call the "left." A better word to describe these clones is "Sinisterist." The opposite of "Sinisterist" is not some mythical "right," but rather ordinary and decent people trying to live their lives in peace and freedom. Moving too far in the direction of...

ISBN: 9780521156011 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Trouble with the Congo suggests a new explanation for international peacebuilding failures in civil wars.

Grassroots rivalries over land, resources, and political power motivated widespread violence. However, a dominant peacebuilding culture shaped the intervention strategy in a way that precluded action on local conflicts, ultimately...

Coltan
ISBN: 9780745649320 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A decade ago no one except geologists had heard of tantalum or 'coltan' - an obscure mineral that is an essential ingredient in mobile phones and laptops. Then, in 2000, reports began to leak out of Congo: of mines deep in the jungle where coltan was extracted in brutal conditions watched over by warlords. The United Nations sent a team to investigate, and its expose of the relationship between violence and the exploitation of coltan and other natural resources contributed to a re-examination of scholarship on the motivations and strategies of armed groups.

"Black Hawks Rising" tells the story of the formation and deployment of the African Union Mission to Somalia (AMISOM) in March 2007. Initially confined to peacekeeping within the Mogadishu enclave, it transformed into a peace-making mission. Many - including the author, who predicted the mission was DOA (Dead on Arrival) - gave the mission little chance of success. As a fighting force, however, AMISOM took on the Somali insurgents in 2010; expelled them from Central Mogadishu on Saturday, 6 August 2011; and expanded control of territory under the Somali Government in the succeeding years to...
