منذ أنْ أعلنَ الفاطميّون عن قيام دولتهم الجديدة في إِفْرِيقِيّة (تونس) في أواخر القرن الثالث الهجري/التاسع الميلادي، رأوا في إقْلِيمَي طَرابلس الغَرب وبَرقة (ليبيا) أهمية كبيرة لمشروعهم العَسكري والسّياسي والْمَذهَبيّ في العالم الإسلامي شَرقِهِ وغَربِهِ. حيث كانت طرابلس استراتيجيًّا هي بوابة الدخول لإِفْرِيقِيَّة وبلاد المغرب الإسلامي كُلُّه لأولئك القادمين من المشرق، في حين كانت بَرقة جُغرافيًّا هي بوابة الدخول لِمِصْر وبقية بُلدان المشرق الإسلامي لأولئك القادمين من المغرب. فكانا يمثلان العصب الحيوي الذي يربط ما بين المشرق والمغرب، والجسر الأرضي الوحيد الآمن لتحقيق أحلام الفاطميين السياسية وأمانيهم الواسعة في التَّوَسُّع ومَدِّ سيطرتهم على كل أقاليم العالم الإسلامي، ومحاولتهم نشر مذهبهم الشيعي فيها. فكان نجاحُ مشروع الفاطميين في المنطقة متوقفًا على السيطرة على الإقليمين والمحافظة على استتباب الأمور فيهما. وهذا ما عمل الفاطميُّون على تحقيقه بمجرد قيام دولتهم الناشئة في إِفْرِيقِيَّة. وتحت حكم الفاطميين وسيطرتهم شهدت أرض طَرابلس وبَرقة وسُكّانِهِمَا زَخَمًا جديداً في الحياة السياسية والاقتصادية والاجتماعية، جاء كونه مواكباً لمتطلبات الدولة الجديدة وتطلعاتها الواسعة، تجسيداً حَقيقيًّا لاندماج السياسة مع الأرض والناس، وتفاعلها مع البيئة المحيطة والمجاورة.

What caused Australia's housing crisis - and how we might fix itOne of the great mysteries of Australian life is that a land of sweeping plains, with one of the lowest population densities on the planet, has a shortage of land for houses. As a result, Sydney is the second most expensive place to buy a house on Earth, after Hong Kong.The escalation in house prices is a pain that has altered Australian society; it has increased inequality and profoundly changed the relationship between generations - between those who have a house and those who don't. It has caused a rental crisis, a dearth of public housing and a mortgage crunch.Things went seriously wrong at the start of the twenty-first century, when there was a huge and permanent rise in the price of housing. In this crisp, clarifying and forward-looking essay, Alan Kohler tells the story of how we got into this mess - and how we might get out of it."The growth in the value of Australian land has fundamentally changed society, in two ways. First, generations of young Australians are being held back financially by the cost of shelter, especially if they live somewhere near a CBD and especially in Sydney or Melbourne; and second, the way wealth is generated has changed. Education and hard work are no longer the main determinants of how wealthy you are; now it comes down to where you live and what sort of house you inherit from your parents. It means Australia is less of an egalitarian meritocracy." Alan Kohler, The Great Divide

Fact-based conclusion of the Hui TrilogyIn Just Another Country, Moody brings an emotionally shattering, politically infuriating conclusion to his fact-based trilogy of China's relentless attempts to destroy the United States, be it through a deadly virus, an endless wave of illegal immigrants, shipments of fentanyl, or Artificial Intelligence. Worst of all, Chinese AI Bots have acquired emotions and are now turning humans into their slaves.Moody's warnings about the decline of the U.S. and China's escalating threat to the West in his three volumes have been largely borne out in recent years. As Xi Jinping, the iron-fisted leader of the Chinese Communist Party, accelerates his drive for global superiority, naïve, heedless Americans fret over racial hatred, inequality, gender identity, sexual freedom, celebrity singers, TV shows and Donald Trump's hair. JFK's famous "Ask not" speech has been turned on its head. In today's America, E Pluribus Unum has been deformed into Gimme gimme gimme. Moody presents a parallel, interwoven tale of America's troubled relations with Mexico and its longstanding failure to control the flood of illegal immigrants along its southern border. With flashbacks to another refugee from the former Soviet Union, it's clear that no matter the century, no matter the politics, no matter the truth, unless it changes its self-satisfied, self-defeating ways, America risks becoming Just Another Country.Praise for Of Course They Knew, Of Course They..."Americans know something is wrong but have been silenced by political correctness. These characters have a voice."-Sean Hannity"John Moody has made a major contribution to our understanding of the Covid disaster. His novel will enlighten every person who reads it. I found it fascinating." -Newt Gingrich, Former Speaker of the United States House of RepresentativesPraise for The World We Wish"The World We Wish takes the reader inside the stark realities of the Chinese communist system. A fascinating and intriguing story that seems too real to be fiction."-Bill Gertz, journalist and author of Deceiving the Sky: Inside Communist China's Drive for Global Supremacy "Drenched in black humor, The World We Wish offers insight into a nation that echoes history's most notorious regimes... Its greatest strength may be its knack for revealing what's kept at arm's length from us via the media and academia."-Christian Toto, author, editor of HollywoodinToto.com

In John 21:25, the writer and youngest Apostle of the twelve reminds us: the miraculous works of Jesus Christ in his thirty-three prolific years on Earth are too numerous to be counted. "If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written," states the New International Version of John's verse.In The Miracles of Jesus Christ and His Apostles in the Bible: Divine Miracles with a Divine Purpose, pastor and author Alfred Cherubim takes a chronological look at the thirty-seven miracles of Jesus Christ recorded in the New Testament, throughout the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Beginning with the wedding feast in Cana where Jesus turned the water into wine and ending with His second catch of fish at the Sea of Tiberias, Cherubim provides the beloved Bible verses that describe each supernatural act of the Messiah.One by one, in a growing crescendo, the miracles of Jesus unfold before readers' eyes and hearts, only to be followed by nineteen additional divine acts performed by His disciples-ordinary men aside from their association and communion with Jesus.From Peter walking on water (Matthew 14:28-31) to Paul healing the sick on the island of Malta (Acts 28:9-10), Cherubim tells the reader to remember: in the end, all miracles are God's miracles.As such, all are signs-accompanied by a message-that either meet a dire human need or confirm Jesus' identity and authority as the Son of God. The author reminds the reader that all Jesus' wondrous acts and those of His Apostles, although singular and extraordinary, exist for one divine reason. In the end, all miracles direct us to behold God's love, power, glory, and mercy, as they carry the ultimate message of eternal salvation to the beholder.

It's called Brightstar. Regime change is underway in Russia, and the challenger sees Brightstar as the lever he needs to defeat Putin.
