A GREAT part of this work having been written many years after events actually took place; and as my memory could not exactly point out the exact time of many occurrences; they are; however; (as many as I can recollect) pointed out; some without day or date; which; I presume; will be of no material consequence; so that they are confined to the truth. Could I but recollect the half of my trials and sufferings in this life; with the many meetings I have held; and the various occurrences that have taken place in my travelling to and fro; preaching the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to Adam's lost race; they would swell this little book far beyond my inclination; and weary perhaps those into whose hands it may chance to come; and as I have been earnestly solicited by many of my friends to leave a small detail of my life and proceedings; I have thought proper; for the satisfaction of those who (after I am dead and in the grave) may feel an inclination to learn the commencement of my life; to leave behind me this short account for their perusal.

America Under AttackBy Randolph EckI could tell by looking at the reviews (the typical rightward pointing U-shape of the review bars; either mostly 5 stars or 1 star) that this was a very polarizing book. Unfortunately; it is difficult to use many of the reviews in such a case to determine the merit of a book; since many probably did not read much of the book if at all. I can see why this is the case; since the book paints a negative view of Donald Trump. I try to keep my reviews unfettered by a predetermined bias.That said; Nance discusses the DNC hack that began around March or April of 2016. Metadata left behind; led to WikiLeaks and a Russian intelligence organization which is a conglomeration of cyber spying groups codenamed Cyber Bears. It appears this organization consists of the FSB (former KGB); the GRU ( Russian Military intelligence); and criminal cyberwarfare subcontractors. The author then proceeds to give us a history of Russia and its intelligence organizations. He notes that “This deep history of espionage; intrigue; and murder shaped Vladimir Putin’s worldview toward the West.†To Putin; the ideal situation would be an economically crippled America; withdrawn from military adventure abroad and NATO; and a leadership installed that is friendly to Russia. In chapter five; the author discusses Russia’s new model of coordinating all aspects of intelligence; propaganda; and cyber operations; which he calls “hybrid warfare.†We learn about advanced persistent threats or APTs; which are “a description of malware toolkits used by hackers.†These hacker groups have been active in other countries as well; such as Estonia; Georgia; Lithuania; Kyrgyzstan; and others. Nance formulates a connection from these cyber groups to WikiLeaks; calling WikiLeaks Russia’s intelligence laundromat. In the current election; neither Assange nor Putin curry any favor of Clinton making them perfect partners united against this candidate.The timing of these events is obviously designed to bolster Trump in the polls. For example; we have the leaks prior to the Democratic National Convention which ended up pitting Bernie supporters against Hillary supporters; after Trump’s speech on immigration after the Mexico visit; DCCC documents from Pelosi’s computer on immigration and other items were released; within days of the NY Times stating that anything Trump said needed fact-checking; the Cyber Bears hacked the news organization; a similar thing occurred with Newsweek; and we could go on.Nance concludes by saying that; “Russian use of cyber weapons to perform criminal acts and damage our electoral process was intended to remove faith in America itself.†He sees politics itself under attack due to hacking and demagoguery. We have to wonder if an attack with a “weapon of Mass Disruption†has yet to occur. It’s all quite sobering to think about.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
