Donald Trump in the Footsteps of Adolf Hitler The Dangerous Parallels Between Trump and Historical Dictators – A European’s Perspective

About Donald Trump in the Footsteps of Adolf Hitler The Dangerous Parallels Between Trump and Historical Dictators – A European’s Perspective

Donald Trump in the Footsteps of Adolf Hitler is a detailed exploration by Geir Sivertsen, a Norwegian who has lived and worked around the world. The book captures his initial intrigue with Donald Trump’s direct approach to complex issues, such as his dealings with North Korea, and his subsequent realization of Trump’s potential dangers to democracy.
Sivertsen discusses Trump’s transition from a reality TV personality to a political figure with authoritarian traits. The book is rooted in facts, personal observations, and a deep analysis of Trump’s impact on American values and democratic structures. It examines his methods of leadership, his divisive tactics at rallies, and his heavy reliance on misinformation.
As the 2024 presidential election approaches, Sivertsen highlights the critical issues at stake: the economy, the weakening of the justice system, abortion rights, voting rights, climate change, and immigration. He presents these as not just political choices but as decisions that will define the future of the country.
This work challenges readers to look past the daily grind and consider the broader effects of their electoral choices. Sivertsen encourages a factual approach to politics, urging Americans to make informed decisions based on reality—not propaganda. His book is not just a critique but a call to action, aiming to educate and inspire proactive engagement in democracy.

The Tao of Star Trek: Finding Your Inner Self Through Outer Space (Volume 3): What Sun Tzu and Lao Tzu Teach us about the Dueling Philosophies of War and Peace Illustrated in Star Trek by Dr. Joseph Di Lella

About The Tao of Star Trek: Finding Your Inner Self Through Outer Space (Volume 3): What Sun Tzu and Lao Tzu Teach us about the Dueling Philosophies of War and Peace Illustrated in Star Trek by Dr. Joseph Di Lella

Similar to the first two books in this series, The Tao of Star Trek: Finding Your Inner Self Through Outer Space (Volume 3), focuses on the latest series in the Trek franchise. Star Trek: Enterprise, Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard plus Star Trek: Short Takes. The most defining stories of these highly entertaining science fiction series are once again examined by both Taoist philosophy and war strategies. Therefore, once again, Lao Tzu’s and Sun Tzu’s most important ideas on peace and war are applied to the best stories of the latest Trek sagas.

Similar to the first two books in this series of The Tao of Star Trek, the last in the trilogy provides lessons to be learned and applied in Everyday Reflections and Everyday Actions for each selected tale.

It is the author’s greatest hope that Gene Roddenberry’s original vision for the future can be smartly examined in this book. Gene’s stories illustrated that although both humans and alien species in the not-so-distant-future share similar traits of good and evil, they can work through their differences, and hate and mistrust can be put aside for peaceful co-existence.

If we in the 21st century can only see the wisdom of Roddenberry’s storytelling, perhaps we too can put aside our need for power and dominance of overs. If we can only look inside ourselves to see what drives our best and worse intentions, perhaps we can be the prototype Gene imagined and hope for humanity in the 23rd century.

Can anyone fight fate when you’re stubbornly determined to stick to your plan for success?

Kaddy Chandler is going to try. When the rhythms that bring about that fate start pushing her toward a new strategy involving a handsome partner in her law firm, Kaddy resists, knowing it can’t be favorable in any way. Her firmly held beliefs tell her that all powerful men are egocentric scoundrels like her father, that romance absolutely cannot be found in the law firm she works for, and that life events follow a pattern of pendulum swings. The challenge side of the pendulum brings growth and learning. But the pendulum’s restful, happy, life-is-good side seems to be eluding her. Can an unexpected alliance with this captivating partner bring her love life rhythm swinging toward a blissful future?

Chase Shearan is a lost man. While pursuing the rigors of career, he has become a high-profile triumph that his colleagues respect and admire. But at a high cost. He’s lost the marriage he has valued and believed was solid. And he’s having trouble filling a growing emptiness in his soul. These things have shaken his worldview to its core. Love remains a high priority, but losing it makes him question everything. Who he is, what he does, and most of all, what he must give up to be the man he wants to be. At the start of his identity crisis, he meets Kaddy, whose uncomfortable insight adds more questions than answers. He can’t get her beliefs or her image out of his mind. Could this woman with the crazy philosophy of life have a place in his?
