Perry Books

This book was hot, hot, hot. There were scenes that could have made candles melt.

If you ever have loved and lost this book will show you that maybe you should give it a second chance.

At last, a book that explains money and our monetary system in a way
that anyone can understand! Written in clear and amazingly compelling
language, this book quickly becomes a page-turner that lures the reader
into breezing through the text so he can "find out what happens next."

Be forewarned however. The subject and sub-themes tackled in this book
are as complex as they are crucial to the lives of everyday Americans
not to mention the entire planet. As Francis Bacon once famously said,
"Some books are meant to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few
to be chewed and digested." This is truly a book to be chewed and
digested, "to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention." After
which effort - it is hoped by the authors - you will be inspired to take
its message to your friends, neighbors, relatives and elected officials.

It should help you as a reader to heed the quotes at the beginning of
each major Part of the book. These quotes are the themes that dominate
each of the Parts. So in Part I, which carries the sub-title
"Reflections on Our Evolving Constitution, The Law, and the Federal
Reserve System", the theme is that "the intent of the lawmaker is in
the language that he has used." (Keep in mind that this idea also
applies in situations where the law is written in incomprehensible,
overly voluminous language).

Part I begins with a discussion of some common misconceptions about the
Constitution and moves to the manner in which the Reconstruction
Amendments, the Uniform Commercial Code, the Federal Register, the
Emergency Banking Act along with many of the "New Deal" initiatives in
particular have served to move us from a "Constitutional Republic" to an
"Unconstitutional Dictatorship."

This leads the reader into a better understanding of how Congress, over
many decades, has gradually relinquished its Constitutional authority,
and what the impact of that relinquishment has been on us as sovereign
citizens endowed by the Declaration of Independence with unalienable
rights. Key among Congress's Constitutional obligations was the power to
coin (as in create) money and regulate the value thereof. Wrapping up
the theme of Part I that "the intent of the lawmaker is in the language
that he has used" is the revelation that NO where does the Constitution
say that gold is the only constitutional money, despite popular opinion
to the contrary. Rather the Constitution allows the individual states to
use gold - or any other money the Congress creates as money.

Part II carries the subtitle "Money Owed and Owned: The Neglected Story
of Money Creation." The theme for Part II is: "The strangest thing about
the human mind is that it will not make an investigation into an
accepted thing." Part II begins with a preface that sketches out the
story of money in America up until 1896 when William Jennings Bryan
delivered his famous "Cross of Gold" speech and thus captured the
Democratic nomination on the sole issue of money creation. With this
important introduction, Part II goes into a discussion about money
creation in America, including some information on the little known,
poorly understood successes of colonial scrip. Included in this section
is a good description of the manner in which "New Liberty", a country
which has chosen to create its money along U.S. Constitutional lines and
applying the "Principles of Monetary Science, can operate.

Part III carries the subtitle "Brief History of Owed Money: Our Man-made
God of Ancient Babylonia". The theme is "There is no new thing under the
sun" from Eccl. 1:9. Part III gives a history of money and wealth
creation, beginning with the advent of agriculture some 10,000 to 12,000
years ago. It detailed how the "worship of mammon" or false money (which
is, in reality worship of gold and other precious metals as well as the
credit serving as money that we have now) has led us into war and
corruption of almost unfathomable dimension, and brought us to the brink
of a military state.

Part IV contains the Constitution, Declaration of Independence and the
Bill of Rights. This is the only section with no forward "theme".
However, the excellent Epilogue which wraps up the whole book, ends with
what might be considered the theme, which is: "ALL Laws repugnant to the
Constitution are null and void" from Marbury v Madison, 1803. A close
reading of this book would suggest that not only is it imperative to
dissolve the Federal Reserve System and install a Constitutional money
creation system, but that we must also dissolve the entire "power
structure that surrounds the Federal Reserve" as Trafficant so famously
put it.

IN short we've got a big job ahead of us, but it is one that has for too
long gone neglected. Reading this book gives us some good and much
needed insight as to what needs to be done, and how we might go abut
doing it through "honest money groups" in our own neighborhoods and towns.

Tyler Perry, the once homeless New Orleans native triumphed in his film of reconciliation, "Diary of A Mad Black Woman," grossing over $22.7 million in its first weekend. This first-time viewer of any of Tyler Perry's works found it a "good laughter medicine for healing the universal issues of American dysfunctional families." With three plots needing resolution, one experiences interchanging moments to laugh and to cry -- a "dra-me-dy!'

No doubt a draw for a large segment of African-American moviegoers, Tyler Perry intricately weaves in "Diary" a leitmotif of reconciliation through forgiveness, ultimately mending hurts and wounds and bringing new hope to life. Perry, in the movie, uses the award-winning Cicely Tyson as a matriarch of spiritual wisdom who plants this seed that takes root and blooms in "Diary's" end.

Cleverly using the therapeutic diary method, Perry's main character Helen McCarter played in the movie by Kimberly Elise, married to a wealthy Atlanta attorney who kicks her out of their mansion after 18 years of marriage, writes describing her pain. Helen, devastated and dependent, has to return to her grandmother for solace though previously isolated from her because of her high-profile marriage.

"Diary" maintains Perry's centerpiece character of his genre, Madea. Madea is the infamous smoking, big-breasted, pistol-toting grandmother who brings the audience to the dichotomy of the real world versus the spiritually-challenged life as well as the "ghetto versus the classy." Madea, beloved by Perry's devoted fans who Perry plays himself in the movie, shows Perry's desire to include laughter as a means to getting to the moral of the reconcilation film: FORGIVENESS. Madea is a non-stop hoot every time she appears in a scene.

Playwright, producer, director, and actor, Perry also manages to play the role of Brian, his cousin's attorney, demythologizing the stereotype of the "gangsta hardcore" black man often portrayed on screen. Rather, all of the men in "Diary" are contrary to typical African-American men portrayed on film. Charles McCarter, Helen's husband, played by Steve Harris, emulates more characteristically his white-male counterpart: he's arrogant, domineering, and selfish. Orlando, who becomes Helen's beau, is a kind, loving and thoughtful blue collar worker, not the typical black man seen in film and movies. And Brian, her cousin and lawyer, appears as a family-loving, Christian man, raising two kids alone, atypical of black men on screen.

Each of the simultaneous plots is resolved through what appears to be Perry's history in all of his works: engage his audiences in Aesopic or didactic conclusion. In "Diary" forgiveness makes the popular, money-grossing movie a film of reconciliation.

The heartfelt comedic film or "dra-me-dy," if nothing more, causes one to laugh out loud amid a few too many profane words. "Diary" for sure will be housed in African-American familial libraries for years to come.

Yes! An Absolute "Dra-me-dy!"

The aim of this book to inspire, educate and warm peoples hearts, has definitely been achieved. It will take the reader back to a world where there is no need for money, fashion, media, advertising, and where happiness comes from what truly matters. I think every reader will be grateful for the reminder provided by this book, of how rich and diverse all people, and all places of this world are.
There are many beautifully written, enlightening stories about lives people are leading right now, somewhere on this planet. In places that city lives can no longer possibly touch on, but should. That is what makes this a valuable book. The stunning photography of spectacular and vanishing scenery, peoples and ways of life brings the reader images that I am sure they will not have seen before, but will never forget. It is offering us a look into lives that know so much more about the natural world, and can share these incredible secrets with us, if we do not destroy their livelihood.
This exquisite book shines a torch on the path taking you back to your roots... and hopefully encourages more people to take care of this planet, because, as the saying goes; (or closely!) only when the last tree has been felled, the last fish has been caught, and the last animal slaughtered, only then will we realize we cannot eat money. I highly recommend this book and thank the authors for contributing to the bridging of a gap the world would be better without.

Cincinnati is home to Irish, Poles, Italians, Greeks, and even nowadays, Mexicans, Arabs, Cambodians and Russians, but at its heart, it is a German town. There were Germans in Cincinnati as early as 1796, but they came here in huge numbers in the 1840's and through hard work and honesty, changed this river city forever. This book, part travelogue, part local history 1788 to the 1960's, is an area classic. There is much about your own neighborhood you aren't aware of, and after reading Mr. Perry's lighthearted prose tour, you'll know more. From Bucktown (about where The Great American Ballpark is now) the "murder capital of America" in the 1870's, to the Courthouse Riots of 1883, the floods of 1913 and 1937, the building of the first concrete skyscraper and founding of the first Jewish college in America, to the disdainful arrival of Charles Dickens, the history of this stolid old city has never been so funny or so likable.

By now most readers are familiar with the two German stories in one paperback format of the first Perry Rhodan novels published in English.

In Part One, "The Vega Sector," Rhodan and his allies first discover the Topides - a reptilian race bent on conquering the galaxy by total destruction of any other force they meet. Rhodan's only recently constructed "Good Hope" crash lands on a planet of humanoids that is facing the might of the Topidian fleet. Rhodan and his mutant allies quickly contact the remaining human freedom fighters and help them to drive off the Topides.

In part two, "Mutants In Action", Perry Rhodan gives his Mutant Corps something to fight for - they attempt to overcome the Topidian crew of a giant space cruiser - easily several times the size of the (now relatively small) Good Hope. With the aid of the Mutants and the Vegan freedom fighters, Rhodan captures the giant space sphere and sends the remnants of the Topide fleet into quick retreat. Rhodan also discovers that the Vegans have access to matter transmitters - a technology that seems to be far in advance of what they normally are capable of. Rhodan secures the plans for these matter transmitters and with them is ready to discover "The Secret of the Time Vault".

This is one of the books that reminded me most of the older space operas like "Buck Rodgers" and "Flash Gordon". Huge space battles, human minds over seemingly vastly superior alien technology - and winning. I highly recommend this as a good book to decide if you want to try the rest.
