"Regime change" did not begin with the administration of George W. Bush, but has been an integral part of U.S. foreign policy for more than one hundred years. Starting with the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893 and continuing through the Spanish-American War and the Cold War and into our own time, the United States has not hesitated to overthrow governments that stood in the way of its political and economic goals.

Parts of American history you will not get in a school education. This can give you a perspective on why some countries view the U.S. as a big bully.

Where Science and Spirituality Meet
Revisado: 01-17-23
I wish I had been able to read this book as an undergraduate doing biology research and suffering from existential dread. This book is an amazing guide to the places where science and spirituality intersect.

In 2012, on his third tour of duty in Afghanistan, an improvised explosive device left Dan Crenshaw's right eye destroyed and his left blinded. Only through the careful hand of his surgeons, and what doctors called a miracle, did Crenshaw's left eye recover partial vision. And yet, he persevered, completing two more deployments. Why? There are certain stories we tell ourselves about the hardships we face—we can become paralyzed by adversity or we can adapt and overcome. We can be fragile or we can find our fortitude. Crenshaw delivers a set of lessons to help you do just that.

A real patriot

If you know of anyone that thinks negatively of America and Americans... have them read or listen to this book. If they can silence their outrage for a bit they may change their opinion.

Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 22
An Antarctic research team discovers a perfectly machined gold canister, 2500 feet below the surface of the ice. There are strange and unrecognizable markings on the canister. How did it get there, and where did it come from? It is sent back to a research center in the US where it is opened in an environmentally controlled room. Inside are six human embryos, and even more shocking is the discovery that the embryos are viable.

One of the worst Sci Fi books...
Revisado: 10-25-17
First I would like to highlight the lack of any Science in this Science-Fiction novel and it has more reading errors from the audio-editing than any other audiobook I’ve ever purchased. I picked this book after reading the premise for the story thinking that this would be a true sci-fi thriller in the vain of Chrichton’s Jurassic Park or Timeline or films such as Contact or Arrival. An intriguing mystery wrapped around some scientific basis for time-travel or genetic manipulation or communicating with sentient interplanetary life. I was really disappointed...
The story begins interesting enough. The author does do a good job of highlighting the socio-economic and religious friction an event like the one described in the novel would create. However our protagonists are lackluster. An omniscient scientist, dashing in appearance right down to the Harry Potter-like scar on his forehead. A popular TV journalist who used to win beauty pageants. They are as vanilla and boring as Superman and I had little emotional investment in their story.
***SPOILER ALERT***
I lost interest in the story when the human embryos are mysteriously born after a 20-something day pregnancy without any scientific explanation or even reference to their surrogate mothers’ discomfort or ravenous appetite that would accompany such a gestation period. After the children’s births the story then jumps back to 100s of millions of years ago when their society roamed the earth and tells of the terminal event that destroyed this previously unknown human society. I was so bored and uninterested I skipped to the last two chapters just to see how it ended. Big surprise... the ending was equally disappointing and we don’t even get to see how these time travelers from the past get to effect our modern day society. Call me critical but I regretted this purchase. It’s pure escapism-fantasy with a poor plot and even worse characters. Audible listeners are for-warned.
