Kevin R. Decker
The start of it all was when Kevin was in the Army stationed in Turkey. He traveled the area and saw where Noah’s Ark was supposed to be at the base of Mount Arrat. He became infatuated with studying the area. He was a map reading expert and knew how to use the Goggle Satellite imaging to compare the notes with the actual facts. He studied the sands of time and realized that it left a trail of evidence as the Pacific Ocean carried Noah’s Ark across Asia over the Himalayan Mountains and onto Mount Arrat in North Eastern Turkey

The Grandest Canyon
The Grandest Canyon of them All
Kevin Ray Decker
The Grand Canyon is located in the Four Corners Region of Southwestern America. It was widely believed to be made by the Colorado River over millions of years. But with the advent of Google Earth Satellite imagery we are able to see a much larger canyon that exists across five states, all the way from the Flaming Gorge Canyon in Wyoming throughout Utah, Colorado, Mexico and Arizona.

The grand illusion is based on a statement by Teddy Roosevelt saying, “The Grand Canyon is perfect the way it is. Mother Nature has been at work on it for millions of years and there is nothing you can do to improve it.”
Then he made it into a National Park and it was widely accepted that the Colorado River formed the Grand Canyon through millions of years of erosion, yet the facts seem to point to evidence of an event happening all at one time as the earth was struck by two pieces of comet which resulted in a large tsunami three miles high that circled the globe as its rotation was reversed.
According to the Bible in Genesis, the evening and the morning were the first day--six different times and according to my studies the earth is spinning backwards and upside down.

Gerald Knutson
Joe was an old Arizona cowboy who got drafted into the army and was sent to the south pacific. He was involved in several campaigns and was wounded several times. He told me there were a lot of guys named Joe in his platoon, and since his last name was a 3-letter word and easy to remember when the C.O. (Commanding Officer) seemed to always call Joy. At any rate these two guys went through hell this whole time, as have millions of other servicemen. At least these two men will have their fifteen minutes of immortality.

After the Berlin Wall came down and the Soviet Union disintegrated, David Garvey, a Manhattan international lawyer, built a hugely profitable loan-sharking operation in Russia and nearby countries in Eastern Europe. David's fund quickly amassed large pools of collateral for high-interest loans - home and apartment mortgages as well as business and personal collateral. Seeing all of these financial instruments as leverage for getting around biting international economic sanctions, the Iraqis looked for ways to steal them from David's Königsberg Fund - first by co-opting his syndicate of bank lenders and then by attacking David and his family. Sparked by innovative technology imagined and patented by the author, this fast-moving thriller plays out in the streets and courtrooms of Manhattan and Northern and Eastern Europe.

The Hunt for Eddie Lama
Thomas J. Bragg
In 2015 Vietnam Army veteran Thomas Bragg wrote in his memoirs about the death of his friend and fellow platoon member, Eddie Lama, in South Vietnam. This was a project he’d always hoped to complete; but he had to wait for retirement to find the time. And the story didn’t stop there: two and a half years after he completed his memoir, his platoon leader from 50 years earlier sought him out, saying that he had visited the grave of their fallen comrade. That led to connections with the Lama family in Mundelein, Illinois, a moving unit reunion, and this revised edition of Keeping it Lively: The Hunt for Eddie Lama.
