Author Of ISIS Book Says Trump Ban Will Not Make Us Safer Jan 30, 2017

Show notes

The author of the explosive Atlantic cover story “What ISIS Really Wants” has written the definitive, electrifying account of the strategy, psychology, and theology driving the Islamic State. Tens of thousands of men and women have left comfortable, privileged lives to join the Islamic State and kill for it. To them, its violence is beautiful and holy, and the caliphate a fulfillment of prophecy and the only place on earth where they can live and die as Muslims. The Way of the Strangers is an intimate journey into the minds of the Islamic State’s true believers. From the streets of Cairo to the mosques of London, Graeme Wood interviews supporters, recruiters, and sympathizers of the group. We meet an Egyptian tailor who once made bespoke suits for Paul Newman and now wants to live, finally, under Shariah; a Japanese convert who believes that the eradication of borders—one of the Islamic State’s proudest achievements—is a religious imperative; and a charming, garrulous Australian preacher who translates the group’s sermons and threats into English and is accused of recruiting for the organization. We also learn about a prodigy of Islamic rhetoric, now stripped of the citizenship of the nation of his birth and determined to see it drenched in blood. Wood speaks with non–Islamic State Muslim scholars and jihadists, and explores the group’s idiosyncratic, coherent approach to Islam. The Islamic State is bent on murder and apocalypse, but its followers find meaning and fellowship in its utopian dream. Its first caliph, Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, has declared that he is the sole legitimate authority for Muslims worldwide. The theology, law, and emotional appeal of the Islamic State are key to understanding it—and predicting what its followers will do next.

Lawyer Takes A Fresh Look At The Most Famous Murder Case In Savannah History Jan 24, 2017

Show notes

LAWYER GAMES is the TRUE story of the murder case that gave rise to the book and Clint Eastwood directed motion picture, Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil. But this book goes far beyond the boundaries of a single murder case. No reader of LAWYER GAMES will ever again look the same way at a criminal trial. In the early morning of May 2, 1981, Danny Hansford was shot dead by James Williams with a World War II vintage Luger in a historic Savannah mansion. For the next eight-and-a-half years, through four murder trials and intrigue which reached the highest levels of Georgia politics-including a former governor and the Georgia Supreme Court-lawyers battled over whether the 50-year-old Williams shot the 21-year-old Hansford in self-defense. Written by Dep Kirkland, who arrived at the scene when Hansford's body was still on the floor, Lawyer Games is the true story of this remarkable case. Kirkland, the Chief Assistant DA at the time, made the decision to arrest Williams and tried the first of four murder trials alongside the district attorney. His firsthand knowledge allows him not only to deeply analyze the murder case but also to expose the legal mischief spawned when a defendant facing unshakable physical evidence possesses almost unlimited funds. LAWYER GAMES is not merely the story of an infamous murder case. It is the story of lawyer obfuscation, subterfuge and manipulation of the criminal trial process. These are common tools of a certain species of defense lawyer. LAWYER GAMES demonstrates the connection by drawing parallels with other high-profile criminal defendants, including O.J. Simpson, Phil Spector, Angelo Bruno (one of two Hillside Stranglers) and others.

Show notes

In addition to his book, Future War, Lieutenant Colonel Robert L. Maginnis (USA, Ret.) discussed the Russian hacking of the DNC, national security threats that may be ongoing due to Hillary Clinton's private server, life extension technology, and BItcoin. In Future War, Lieutenant Colonel Robert L. Maginnis (USA, Ret.) whose ongoing work with the Pentagon affords a rare glimpse into our security community portrays a frightening, new glimpse into a future world that previous generations could only have dared imagine: cyborgized super soldiers, cyber threats beyond our wildest imagination, sobering outer space developments, and the most horrendous weapons of mass destruction in the hands of troublesome actors who see themselves playing a role in the prophetic end times. Despite the risks associated with a terminator-like tomorrow clearly defined, Future War turns to offer a glimmer of hope for our troubled and lost world. It provides a detailed plan of action to guide America's churches, government, and Congress from a biblical-worldview foundation, tackling five of the most daunting macro challenges facing America today.

Financial Analyst Says Bitcoin Likely To Soar In Value Jan 09, 2017

Show notes

Author, James Dale Davidson, joins Jim Paris Live to discuss his book, The Breaking Point- Profit From The Coming Money Cataclysm. Davidson gives an honest and sobering assessment of the present state of the economy in the U.S. Davidson also predicts even worse economic times for Europe. He shares his enthusiasm for Bitcoin, gold, and an exchange traded fund that will profit from the collapse of the Euro. Davidson has been warning investors about the dangers of a financial collapse for over 20 years. The first time was in his 1987 book, Blood in the Streets: Investment Profits in a World Gone Mad. Then he warned about America’s dire fiscal trends again in his 1994 book, The Great Reckoning: Protecting Yourself in the Coming Depression (which he wrote alongside former editor of The Times of London, Lord William Rees-Mogg). Both books were bestsellers. And now, he has his new book, The Age of Deception. He’s also spent most of his adult life taking on an overreaching government. In 1974, he founded the National Taxpayers Union, which for 35 years has been protecting your right and that of every American to keep what they’ve earned. NTU is a nonprofit, nonpartisan citizen group whose (350,000) members work every day for lower taxes and smaller government at all levels. Later, he cowrote The Sovereign Individual in 1997 to help people take control of their lives and investments. It was the book that would provide the beginnings of The Sovereign Society.
