new views of the constitution of the united states
- Author: Taylor John
- Genre: Politics
In “New Views” J. Taylor examines the constitutional law of the Supreme Court, being guided by original source material on the intent of the Framers. Consequently he comes to a conclusion that its original meaning was much distorted. In the course, the author reviews in detail the structure of constitutional order of the time. The views Taylor expresses here were new only to his contemporaries, and actually appear to be a return to the views of the men who wrote and confirmed the Constitution.
night draws near iraqs people in the shadow of americas war
- Author: anthony shadid
- Genre: Social History
Anthony Shadid is a brilliant ‘Washington Post’ reporter and a long-time writer on the Middle East. He is a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist who has been covering the Iraq conflict since the time it has begun. In this book he adds those elements of the war that have been either censored or edited so that at last readers may have an intelligent observer's report of what has happened. This is a story that will disturb and enlighten. Shadid divides "Night Draws Near Iraqs People in the Shadow of Americas War" into five parts. In the first section he shows the anxious fear of people under the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein. In the second part it goes about people's terror of the attacks by the American troops with the bombings of precious places as well as homes. In the third part he addresses that part of disaster that follows disaster - the criminal marauding and devastation of museums and mosques and public facilities that most Iraqis viewed with embarrassed disgust. The fourth part reveals debased hopes of people told they were being liberated while instead they were captured, questioned, and disenfranchised. The final part studies the revolt, the terrifying extremes to which the Iraqis have come such as suicide bombings, retaliation, guerilla warfare - all of those ends to which these people have been thrust as a means to regain their dignity and identity. The book exposes the problems and facts that have always been hidden, and that’s one of the reasons why it should be read.

Naos - A Practical Guide to Modern Magick
- Author: Thorold West and ONA writers
- Genre: History
This is an ONA publication. Manuscript was given to Hagur by Xaphan (J.F.) (Houston, Texas), for publication, which he did in 1999, and brought the work on e-book (pdf) in 2008. ONA publications are in fact "public domain", as previously stated by Christos Beest (Moulton). This copy is re-arranged and published by Hagur. Hagur is since 1998 an ONA practioner. Copyright is an anachronistic concept. It is against the spirit of the free distribution and dissemination of information, ideas and concepts which is essential to the subversive and evolutionary strategy of the ONA. Furthermore, the production and distribution of written material in the form of printed books and pamphlets is no longer the main means of distribution and dissemination of written material. The modern means of communication - such as the Internet - which have been developed have allowed such distribution and dissemination by other means. Nevertheless, the production of printed books remains a valuable resource. The ONA has no interest whatsoever - and never has had an interest - in making any profit from the sale and distribution of ONA MSS, whether in book format or otherwise. For this reason there has never been any such thing as an "officially approved" or "officially published" ONA book or published item. Individuals are free to publish and distribute - and, in the case of printed material, or compilations in whatever medium, charge for - any and all ONA material, compilations of ONA material, and ONA books, such as the Deofel Quintet, without any prior approval from the ONA or authors such as Anton Long. The only authentic ONA material is that which is reproduced - by whatever means - exactly, in terms of text and illustrations (if any) as it was originally released and distributed by the ONA (typos notwithstanding). Therefore, those publishing, distributing or selling ONA material or texts as ONA material should endeavour to reproduce it accurately, without alterations or additions. In the case of compilations of ONA material, and ONA books, distributors and publishers are free to add whatever artwork or illustrations, or form of presentation, they may deem necessary provided it is made clear that such art-works or illustrations are not ONA material. In respect of material designed for distribution via electronic mediums it is suggested that standard formats, such as html, are used in preference to proprietary formats such as doc or wpd.
