Illuminatus! book 1 is a brilliant mixture of all the conspiracy theories sent to the authors whilst they were editors at Playboy. In 1976, Ken Campbell adapted Illuminatus! for the stage, creating a 10-hour epic that went on to open the Royal National Theatre in London under the patronage of Queen Elizabeth II.īrilliant nonesense, excellently narrated Part I: The Eye in the Pyramid is performed by the incomparable Ken Campbell and Chris Fairbank. The trilogy tackles all the cover-ups of our time, from who really shot the Kennedys to why there's a pyramid on the one-dollar bill, and suggests a mind-blowing truth. In a breakneck race against an awesome deadline, Goodman plunges down the trail of the ultimate conspiracy as the days fall away toward Apocalypse.įilled with sex, violence, and rock-and-roll, in and out of time and space, Illuminatus! is only partly a work of the imagination. The Illuminati, an inside joke? The lunatic fringe? Or a vast conspiracy hidden for centuries, unleashing it's power on a naive, defenseless world? It was the lousy luck of Saul Goodman, a tough, streetwise New York detective, to smell the trail in a bombed-out office - the heavy case he'd always dreaded. For the first time in audiobook form, the unabridged epic is presented in all its grandeur, spookiness, hilarity, and brilliance. So begins this original trilogy of conspiracies, Illuminatus!. "It was the year when they finally immanentized the Eschaton".

THE NOBLEMAN’S GUIDE TO SCANDAL AND SHIPWRECKS by Mackenzi Lee I’m especially intrigued by this third book since it focuses on Adrian,the little brother of Monty and Felicity. Okay, I know this one doesn’t come out for months and months, but I stumbled across it while shopping online this weekend and was just so excited since I had no idea that Lee was planning to continue one of my all-time favorite YA series. My selection for this week is THE NOBLEMAN’S GUIDE TO SCANDAL AND SHIPWRECKS by Mackenzi Lee. It is a meme that I have loved participating in for over a year now, but as Jill is no longer actively posting, from now on I’ll be linking to Can’t Wait Wednesday, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, which is a spinoff of the original WoW meme. “Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, which encourages fellow bloggers to spotlight upcoming releases that we’re excited about. I understand that hate was never, ever the opposite of belief. I understand how you can convict God of terrible crimes and then go to evening prayer. The words are there anyway, just as the humanness inside me is there anyway, and for one clear, shimmering moment, I understand. The words don’t care about my feelings, about my petty sulks and mortal frustrations. But it responds to the old words like trees to wind, rustling awake, stretching roots deep, deep down. It’s a part of me so deep, so elemental, I can’t even name it. The part of my mind that isn’t consumed with accounting and finance, the part that isn’t even rational or entirely civilized. But for the first time, I feel the power of praying words alongside someone else, the power of praying words so familiar and ancient they come from some hitherto unknown part of my mind.

Mo’Nique delivers a career defining, powerhouse stand-up performance in her unprecedented return to the stage. Nevertheless, it has been reinvigorated recently as a paradigm used to explain government decisions taken under evolving COVID-19 pandemic conditions. This political philosophy is usually read in (and arguably tainted) by the immediate historical context in which it was conceived, namely 1930s Germany and the rise of National Socialism. On this theoretical basis, he develops the concept of decisionism, whereby the actual content or "what" of a decision is not the germane element, but rather the "who" of the decision and whether a given "who" (or decider) is the proper authority and possessor of the necessary sovereignty. Schmitt defines the sovereign act as a decision on the question of the exception, and further classifies sovereignty as a liminal term, a borderline concept ( Grenzbegriff), suggesting a geometric metaphoricity underlying his conceptualization. The State of Exception determines who is truly sovereign in a given state. According to political philosopher Carl Schmitt (1888-1985), the emergency or State of Exception ( Ausnahmezustand) is the ultimate test of political power and reveals in whom that power is vested. Yet decades after Tommie Smith and John Carlos raised their fists in a display of Black power and pride, and years after Colin Kaepernick shocked the world by kneeling for the national anthem, the role Black athletes and coaches are expected to perform-both on and off the field-still can be determined as much by stereotype and old-fashion ideology as ability and performance. Commentators, coaches, and fans alike have long touted the diverse rosters of leagues like the NFL and MLB as sterling examples of a post-racial America. Based on dozens of shocking interviews with some of the most influential names in sports, this is the urgent and revelatory examination of racial inequality in professional athletics America has been waiting for. |
