"Islamic Jihad, Cultural Marxism and the Transformation of the West," is an in-depth, cross-disciplinary study explaining how Western Civilization is being intentionally destabilized by a process of cultural subversion. Leading the charge in this below the radar, stealth war is an alliance between the hard, Marxist left and the Jihadist Muslims who have been chipping away at traditional Western liberal values and mores for decades.

"Uncle Joe, FDR and the DEEP STATE," should be seen as a companion volume to the author's recently published, "Islamic Jihad, Cultural Marxism and the Transformation of the West." The book examines the Marxist-Leninist roots of what is today colloquially called the Deep State with an emphasis on the curious relationship between President Franklin Roosevelt and the Soviet Union's dictator, Josef Stalin. The author sets the plate as it were with a thorough, non-ideologically approved, re-telling of the history of the United States over the last century, especially as it pertains to the response by the world's leading democracy to the existential threat posed by Marxism during Roosevelt's four successive administrations. Relying on the new scholarship about this period of time which leans heavily on documents developed by the U.S. World War II intelligence review program, the Venona Project, as well as Russian documents made available for a brief time following the fall of the Soviet Union by Boris Yeltsin, the author makes a very strong case that the origin of today's un-elected proto-state can only be explained in terms of the massive cultural revolution sparked by Roosevelt's intentional re-interpretation of the role of the federal government which he saw fit to both expand beyond reason as well as seed with known agents of the Soviet Union and American fellow travelers. Unchallenged by Congress and the judiciary, blessed by the hard-left media, its masters in the Democrat and Republican parties and the far-left centers of power in Western Europe, the machinations of the Deep State are pulled into high resolution in this important and surprisingly easy to read book.

As established centrist parties across the Western world continue to decline, commentators continue to fail to account for the far-right's growth, for its strategies and its overall objectives. Morbid Symptoms examines the far-right's ascendancy, uniquely tracing its history from the end of the Cold War, revealing how its different dimensions have led to a series of contradictory strategies and positions that often leave their overall significance unclear. From the United States to Russia and from Britain across Europe to Greece, Owen Worth's analysis reveals that the left's failure to mount a radical alternative to the prevailing order has allowed the far-right to move in and provide an avenue for discontent and for change. Crucially though this avenue hasn't necessarily offered a definite alternative to the status quo as yet, meaning there is still a chance to change its significance in the wider global order. This is an essential primer to the future of international politics and international relations.

"The aim of this book is to encourage mutual understanding between the Islamic and Western worlds. The majority of Muslims are peaceable, law-abiding citizens. However, Muslim fundamentalists, described here as ""Islamists"", presents a challenge to the valu"

The book examines the growing tension between social movements that embrace egalitarian and inclusivist views of national and global politics, most notably classical liberalism, and those that advance social hierarchy and national exclusivism, such as neoliberalism, neoconservatism, and national populism. In exploring issues relating to tensions and conflicts around globalization, the book identifies historical patterns of convergence and divergence rooted in the monotheistic traditions, beginning with the ancient Israelites that dominated the Near East during the Axial age, through Islamic civilization, and finally by considering the idealism-realism tensions in modern times. One thing remained constant throughout the various historical stages that preceded our current moment of global convergence: a recurring tension between transcendental idealism and various forms of realism. Transcendental idealism, which prioritize egalitarian and universal values, pushed periodically against the forces of realism that privilege established law and power structure. Equipped with the idealism-realism framework, the book examines the consequences of European realism that justified the imperialistic venture into Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America in the name of liberation and liberalization. The ill-conceived strategy has, ironically, engendered the very dysfunctional societies that produce the waves of immigrants in constant motion from the South to the North, simultaneously as it fostered the social hierarchy that transfer external tensions into identity politics within the countries of the North. The book focuses particularly on the role played historically by Islamic rationalism in translating the monotheistic egalitarian outlook into the institutions of religious pluralism, legislative and legal autonomy, and scientific enterprise at the foundation of modern society. It concludes by shedding light on the significance of the Muslim presence in Western cultures as humanity draws slowly but consistently towards what we may come to recognize as the Global Age.
