Their mission is to eliminate all Islamic extremists who have infiltrated this country before they start killing American citizens. Dakin's Headquarters is in Ocean City, Maryland.Their actions begin in Boston's MIT, followed by a major confrontation in Las Vegas. The major US battle is yet to come and it's in Scottsdale, Arizona. A merge of al Qaeda, Taliban and ISIS assemble a pilgrimage of non-extreme Muslim worshipers to meet in Scottsdale.

Lost World of the Himalayas, The Journals of Explorer M.G. Hawking by M.G. Hawking (1 Review)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Composed from the journals of explorer M.G. Hawking's five years in remote areas of the Himalayas, this book transports the reader into a legendary lost world, a journey that leads to the discovery of the most refined and powerful knowledge possessed by the human race. Many years ago, on an extended trek into an inner region of the vast wilderness of the Great Himalayan Range, Hawking chanced on an unexpected find. In a majestic valley surrounded by towering ice peaks, he encountered a beautiful small village. In that community, called Siddhalaya by its residents, he had the privilege of meeting a number of truly extraordinary men and women. This encounter marked the beginning of sixty-two months Hawking spent in the Himalayan regions of Nepal and Tibet, during which time he kept detailed records of his adventures, experiences, and conversations with those highly enlightened individuals. Over the past several years the team at Wisdom Masters Press, in association with Hawking, has worked diligently to compose a series of books based on his journals and field notes. This was a daunting assignment; Hawking had accumulated hundreds of pages of hand-written journal entries and field notes, all of which had to be sorted and cataloged. Yet it was a fascinating if formidable task, one that could not have been accomplished without the assistance and encouragement of some of the extraordinary individuals Hawking met in the Himalayas, all of whom you will meet in the pages of our books. From the Author: "The knowledge of the masters is profound and powerful, and one hopes it will have relevance to others, will offer them insight and guidance, will greatly expand their knowledge and power, will be validated by their experience, or, at the very least, will stimulate them to search further on their own. The philosophy expressed by the masters reflects as well the broader context and search of our culture at this particular stage of its development. The evolutionary ...

The Red Pill by Frank Freeman (2 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

The red pill from my point of view can be defined as a politically incorrect view of relations between men and women. The term derives from the film Matrix (1999) but is now commonly used as a metaphor to describe an uncomfortable truth, as opposed to the blue pill which is instead a reassuring lie. The redpill, i.e. the person who mirrors himself in the redpill vision, thus seeks to analyse social relations objectively, assessing them objectively as they are. He seeks to make a critical analysis, on the basis of scientific evidence, without allowing himself to be excessively conditioned by the mainstream view of male-female relations that is inevitably highly sweetened and stuffed with lies or at least false truths that act as a lubricant to make relations between human beings flow with less friction. This book aims to give a voice to those who consider themselves redpilled and to address and discuss the issue of male-female relationships in a critical and unfiltered manner.

Understanding How To Truly Be Saved by James Thomas Lee Jr (3 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

Many people may find this text offensive. But my desire for many years has been to understand why so many people who regularly attend church do not get more involved in the church's ministries. While not everyone will agree with my general conclusion, it is that most of those individuals are probably not really saved. I do not want to be a judge or sound judgmental. But the simple fact is that the Bible teaches throughout that the Christian is a life of ministry and service for the Lord by the true followers of Christ. So as will be discussed in the following pages, one of my conclusions is that the template types of prayer for salvation that many people are usually told to repeat do not work. Because of that, I have tried to explain what does work and how saved people actually got saved. In my opinion, true biblical salvation does not result from repeating the simple words of a simple prayer. It only occurs when sincere people truly seek the Lord with all of their heart, when they commit or give themselves to Him, when they trust in Him, and when they enter into a personal relationship with Him. Anything less than those things is probably not true biblical salvation. This is a very short text that should not take long to read. In writing it, my goal has not been to bring into question anyone's profession of faith in Christ. But it has been to encourage all people to examine themselves to be sure that they are in the Faith. My overall objective, as always, has been to present to the best of my ability the truth of the scriptures and to also tell others how to not die lost. In my opinion, hades is already full enough. There is one note, however, to be made with respect to the organization of this text. Something that the reader of this text might find useful is boxes that show the different passages that are being referenced at the times and in the places where they are being referenced. That way, he or she will not have to jump all over the place or get into or ...
