Free Download Sworn Enemies The Divine Oath, the Book of Ezekiel, and the Polemics of Exile BZAW 436 By Casey A. Strine
2012 | 270 Pages | ISBN: 3110290391 | PDF | 5 MB
Casey A. Strine explores how the book of Ezekiel uses the exodus origin tradition to craft a national identity for the Judahite exiles in Babylon that contests competing interpretations of the recent past advanced by internal and external opponents. In this study, he demonstrates that Ezekiel utilizes formulaic language – especially YHWH´s oath – in order to define Israel´s identity around the exodus from Egypt, particularly asserting that YHWH favors a community outside Israel and under foreign oppression. Subsequently, this national identity is employed to refute an autochthonous origin tradition based upon the characters of Abraham and Jacob current among non-exiled Judahites (Ezek 11, 33, 35-36). Strine also argues that this same formulaic language is employed to contradict Babylonian claims that YHWH was powerless to help the exiles. YHWH swearing as I live´ not only challenges the underlying ideology that the destruction of Jerusalem indicated Marduk had defeated the Judahite deity, it repeatedly introduces passages where YHWH performs actions that the Babylonians would attribute to Marduk. This raises the issue of whether Ezekiel includes a nascent monotheism, which Strine explores with respect to recent contributions.

Free Download Norman Stone, "Atlantic and Its Enemies: A History of the Cold War"
English | 2011 | pages: 688 | ISBN: 0141044632, 0465020437 | EPUB | 4,3 mb
Those who survived the Second World War stared out onto a devastated, morally ruined world. Much of Europe and Asia had been so ravaged that it was unclear whether any form of normal life could ever be established again. Everywhere the ‘Atlantic’ world (the USA, Britain and a handful of allies) was on the defensive and its enemies on the move. For every Atlantic success there seemed to be a dozen Communist or ‘Third World’ successes, as the USSR and its proxies crushed dissent and humiliated the United States on both military and cultural grounds. For all the astonishing productivity of the American, Japanese and mainland western European economies (setting aside the fiasco of Britain’s implosion), most of the world was either under Communist rule or lost in a violent stagnancy that seemed doomed to permanence. Then, suddenly, the Atlantic won – economically, ideologically, militarily – with astonishing speed and completeness.

Free Download Enemies at the Gate: The City Walls of Ancient Rome (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0D1ZG5FSZ | 2024 | 16 hours and 42 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 482 MB
Author: Patricia Southern
Narrator: Rupert Bush
The legend of the foundation of Rome by Romulus in 753BC accords very well with the earliest defensive walls on the Palatine Hill, made of clay and timber and showing evidence of animal sacrifices. To trace the continual efforts to fortify Rome is to trace the rise and fall of the Roman Empire – through the taking of the city by the Gauls in 390/387, the wars with the Italian states, the threat of Hannibal, the establishment of the Republic, attacks by the northern tribes and eventual division and collapse. By the 6th century AD, General Belisarius was desperately shoring up the walls with marble slabs from altars and gravestones.

Free Download Strange Enemies: Indigenous Agency and Scenes of Encounters in Amazonia By Aparecida Vilaça
2010 | 384 Pages | ISBN: 0822345560 | PDF | 4 MB
In 1956, in the Brazilian state of Rondonia, near the border with Bolivia, a group of Wari’ Indians experienced their first peaceful contact with whites: Protestant missionaries and agents from the national government’s Indian Protection Service. On returning to their villages, the Wari’ announced, ‘We touched their bodies!’ The whites reported to their people that ‘The region’s most warlike tribe has entered the pacification phase!’ First published in Brazil, "Strange Enemies" is a vivid ethnography describing the first encounters between two groups with radically different worldviews. "Aparecida Vilaca" focuses on the process of pacification conducted by Brazilian government agents, U.S. Protestant missionaries, and representatives of the Catholic Church between 1956 and 1969. During the 1940s and 1950s, white rubber-tappers interested in Wari’ lands raided their villages, shooting and killing sleeping victims. Those massacres prompted the Wari’ to initiate a period of intense retaliatory warfare. The national government and religious organizations stepped in, seeking to pacify the Indians. Vilaca was able to interview both Wari’ and non-Wari’ people who participated in these events. She reproduces many Wari’ testimonies in "Strange Enemies". Drawing on those interviews and an analysis of tribal myths, Vilaca describes Wari’ conceptions of self and other. The Wari’ categorize others as strangers and enemies. White people are enemies. In the past, enemies could be killed in acts of warfare. In the present day, violent encounters are rare and life in close proximity with enemies is common. Vilaca provides a subtle analysis of what it means for the Wari’ to live with enemies when warfare is no longer an option. With "Strange Enemies", she makes a major contribution to the ethnographic record on Amazonia and the understanding of the present-day situation of indigenous people.

A revelatory eyewitness account of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and heroism of the Ukrainian people in their resistance by Yaroslav Trofimov, the Ukrainian chief foreign-affairs correspondent for The Wall Street Journal.

Free Download The Permanent Coup: How Enemies Foreign and Domestic Targeted the American President by Lee Smith, Les Connery, Center Street
English | 2020 | ISBN: B08G1XV7LQ | Format: MP3 / Bitrate: 64 Kbps / 7 hours and 5 minutes | 195 Mb
From the phony Russia collusion narrative to the coordinated riots laying waste to US cities, it’s the same ongoing operation orchestrated by the left and targeting not just President Trump but hundreds of millions of Americans who revere their country and what it stands for. For the first time, crusading investigative journalist Lee Smith reveals who was responsible and the never before known involvement of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and senior military officials who engineered a coup against a sitting president.
Beginning in late 2015, political operatives, intelligence officials, and the press pushed a conspiracy theory about Trump – he was a Russian asset and spied on his campaign and his presidency in order to undo an election.
Because the ultimate goal of the anti-Trump operation is not simply to topple the president but rather to change the character and constitution of the country, the Deep State’s machinations didn’t stop even after Trump was cleared of charges of "colluding" with Moscow. Their efforts became even more fierce, more desperate, and more divisive, threatening to scar America permanently.
