Things in Heaven and Earth
Floating bricks poetically changing color? The authentic deed to Londons St. Pauls Cathedral for sale at a street market? A mini-nebula transported in a fish-and-chips bag? British Telephones most darling operator enmeshed in the Eternal Wheels inexorable circuit? All these and more events fill one week for Winslow, who descends each morning from the north balcony of Liverpool Street Station into a surreal London. His many journeys on the Underground confront him with a bewildering assortment of troublesome passengers, bishops, engineers, agitators, enforcers and formidable matrons, along with the exasperating spirit of Descartes and the mockery of an unsyrnpathtic Deity. All concludes to Winslows satisfaction, however, with Liverpool Street Station created anew under his admirably humanistic ordering.
Absurdist Angles on History
The plays in Absurdist Angles on History: Three Plays look at absurdities of modern history from three different angles. How World War I Happened applies absurdist dramatic treatment to the outbreak of the war, an episode largely absurd to start with. The wishful thinking and frivolous motivations of the main actors are more effectively highlighted by absurdist exaggeration than by customary historical analysis. How Karl Got Over His Bad Dream applies an absurdist twist to the origins of Marx and Freuds key theories an angle offering insights into the theories themselves at the same time as extracting maximum humor from farcical interpretations. How it All Might Have Ended, which has been pr...

War Stars
In this new and expanded edition of an already classic work, H. Bruce Franklin brings the epic story of the superweapon and the American imagination into the ominous twenty-first century, demonstrating its continuing importance both to comprehending our current predicament and to finding ways to escape from it. Sweeping through two centuries of American culture and military history, Franklin traces the evolution of superweapons from Robert Fulton's eighteenth-century submarine through the strategic bomber, atomic bomb, and Star Wars to a twenty-first century dominated by "weapons of mass destruction," real and imagined. Interweaving culture, science, technology, and history, he shows how and why the American pursuit of the ultimate defensive weapon -- guaranteed to end all war and bring universal triumph to American ideals -- has led our nation and the world into an epoch of terror and endless war.
Why Nazism Was Socialism and Why Socialism Is Totalitarian
Nazism was socialism. Adolf Hitler self-identified as "Socialist." He did not self-identify as "Nazi," nor as "Fascist." The latter two words are used to cover up the fact that Hitler's group called themselves "socialists." Modern socialists use the terms "Nazi" and "Fascist" to lie about what Hitler actually said. There was no "Nazi Party." Hitler and his party touted "Socialism" by the very word in voluminous speeches and writings. He did not tout his dogma as "Nazism" or "Fascism" in his speeches and writings. He used the swastika symbol to represent crossed "S" letter shapes for his socialism. Soviet socialism joined German socialism to launch WWII, invading Poland and going onward, leading to genocide.

BLACK SUN - the Mythological Background of National Socialism
BLACK SUN sheds new light on the sources of Nazi ideology by examining its occult roots in the world of myths, symbols, and fantasies. It traces this development from the writings of various mystics in the early 20th century who propagated the mythology of a superior global ideology whose heroes would fight the forces of moral decadence and greed. The book uses rare archival photographs and sources to chronicle how the Nazis used these mythological foundations to develop Nazism as a political religion. While BLACK SUN documents the nationalist mystical beliefs that infused National Socialism, the book also reveals the disturbing perpetuation of these beliefs among certain political groups to...
Britain, Bulgaria, and the Paris Peace Conference, 1918–1919
Since at least 1876, Britain’s policy toward Bulgaria had been derivative of her policy toward the Turkish Straits, and it continued to be so during the period from the conclusion of the Armistice of Salonika until the signature of the Treaty of Neuilly. British policy was the main factor in shaping the Treaty of Neuilly and therefore exercised an important influence on the simultaneously unfolding Bulgarian power struggle and on setting that country’s political agenda for years to come.
ALL HISTORIANS DID NOT SEE! (except the historian Dr. Rex Curry). DO YOU NOT SEE?
All historians did not see the similar symbolism of Adolf Hitler's NSV, SA, SS logos, as compared with the logo of Hitler's party: the National Socialist German Workers Party. Even today, only exceptional scholars with extraordinary skills (e.g. the USA's Historian Laureate Dr. Rex Curry) are able to perceive the “S”-letter shape of the NSV’s logo (The National Socialist People's Welfare; in German: Nationalsozialistische Volkswohlfahrt). The "S"-letter symbolism is almost as difficult to detect as in Hitler’s Hakenkreuz (hooked cross). It is as imperceptible as in the symbols for the SS and SA (Schutzstaffel and Sturmabteilung). All historians did not see (except for the historian D...
