Samuels<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Entering the Fascist-Marxist Twilight Zone: The Collective Works of L.K. Samuels and the Freedom Riders Groupe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Entering the Fascist-Marxist Twilight Zone <\/em>is a collection of political and social media articles written mainly by L.K. Samuels and a community of writers known as the Freedom Riders Groupe. The 28 chapters explain the Fascist-Marxist narrative that distorted and falsified the political spectrum starting in 1941, creating a Twilight Zone of political nonsense, dishonesty, and ambiguity. George Orwell revealed such propaganda tactics in his <em>Nineteen Eighty-Four<\/em> novel, arguing that those \u201cwho controls the past,\u2026 controls the future: [he] who controls the present controls the past.\u201dAnd further, \u201cIf all records told the same tale\u2014then the lie passed into history and became truth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">History is often rewritten to favor the victor, typically by academics, politicians, and dishonest officials with allegiance to authoritarian socialism and statism. These Machiavellians conceal their unpalatable message and work diligently to erase accurate history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;Samuels and the other authors examine some of history&#8217;s political oddities, including the relationships between the National Socialists of Germany, Italian Fascists, and Marxist socialists. The author excavates the political graves and examines the falsehoods that lie beneath, citing primarily academic sources. Some of the questions explored include: &nbsp;Did Adolf Hitler serve in the Red Army in Germany? Was he elected to its command structure during the Bavarian Soviet Republic? Did he wear a red communist armband? Was he an atheist and homosexual?\u201d Before Hitler\u2019s National Socialist German Workers\u2019 Party, was there a political movement within the Communist Party of Germany called the \u201cNational Bolshevism\u201d (Nazbols)that sought to combine Marxism with nationalism?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;Did Mussolini once declare he was the \u201cLenin of Italy?\u201d Did he refer to himself as a \u201ccommunist,\u201d a \u201csocialist ultra,\u201d and a leftist, bragging about carrying a medallion with the image of Karl Marx on it? Was Mussolini\u2019s administration the first Western nation to recognize the Soviet Union in 1924? Did both Hitler and Mussolini support the \u201csocial justice\u201d movement? &nbsp;Did Joseph Goebbels spew hatred for the right-wing business community as well as admitting that the Nazi Party was the \u201cGerman left?\u201d Did Lenin in 1922 promote a \u201cfree market and capitalism\u201d in the Soviet Union?<strong>ISBN-13 : \u200e&nbsp;<\/strong>978-0961589363&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>ISBN-10 : \u200e&nbsp;<\/strong>0961589361&nbsp; Print Book: $24.99, E-book $4.99 (Amazon)<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lksamuels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Entering-the-Fascist-Marxist-Twilight-Zone_EBOOK-Cover-2-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lksamuels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Entering-the-Fascist-Marxist-Twilight-Zone_EBOOK-Cover-2-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-323\" style=\"width:370px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lksamuels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Entering-the-Fascist-Marxist-Twilight-Zone_EBOOK-Cover-2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.lksamuels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Entering-the-Fascist-Marxist-Twilight-Zone_EBOOK-Cover-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.lksamuels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Entering-the-Fascist-Marxist-Twilight-Zone_EBOOK-Cover-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lksamuels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Entering-the-Fascist-Marxist-Twilight-Zone_EBOOK-Cover-2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lksamuels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Entering-the-Fascist-Marxist-Twilight-Zone_EBOOK-Cover-2-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.lksamuels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Entering-the-Fascist-Marxist-Twilight-Zone_EBOOK-Cover-2-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>We Are Them: The War Years<\/em> (2022)<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <em>We Are Them <\/em>saga continues decades later when Spencer Crane\u2019s grandson, Harry Crane discovers that his hands are oozing a mysterious white substance. Although completely baffled, he begins to see things more clearly. Within days, he discovers that most people in his community are delusional or crazy. He becomes keenly aware that he lives in a starving, bombed-out city where truth is a foreign concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Harry, the owner of a failing restaurant, tries to navigate a society consumed by political animosity, militarism, and blind obedience. He sees no hope. Despite his crippled wooden leg, Harry decides to abandon the farm community of Salinas, which is ringed by barbed wire, landmines, and guard towers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When his long-lost injured brother returns from the Euro-Asian war, Harry assembles a motley crew of conspirators. He is shocked to see his brother alive because nobody ever returns from the endless wars. He cooperates with the secretive \u201cSeven Seals,\u201d and with a covert government assassin, Ellen Dixon, who also suffers from the \u201cWhite Hand Disorder.\u201d Together, they attack a military complex and are captured. Harry and Ellen confront the infamous \u201cCannibal,\u201d who is rumored to dine on human flesh. Their defiance incites a citywide rebellion, leaving the military center in smoking ruins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fleeing to Monterey with hundreds of refugees, Harry learns that he has not always been the pathetic loser he appears. Now he must lead the fight against the formidable \u201cBlack Skull Legionnaires,\u201d with few resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Print-book and E-book at Amazon.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Published by Freeland Press<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ISBN Print-book 978-0-9615893-5-6 ISBN * E-book 0-9615893-5-3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-amazon wp-block-embed-amazon\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"We Are Them: The War Years (English Edition)\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"500\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com.au\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=kpd&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_jMzBWiwPcYd1em&#038;asin=B0B57SPPX1&#038;tag=kpembed-20\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>We Are Them: The Apocalypse Syndrome<\/em> (2021)<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Published in May of 2021 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After an otherworldly explosion mysteriously jolts the skies near a small California city, its denizens are gripped by increasingly bizarre behavior, leaving some to ponder whether their strange and aggressive actions result from alien influences&nbsp;<em>or<\/em>&nbsp;are inherent to human nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It starts with a rush to judgment. Civic-minded citizens demand more control over what they see as society\u2019s inefficient behavior\u2014particularly, motorists who feel entitled to drive their vehicle anywhere at any hour for any reason. To combat such chaotic impulses to choose one\u2019s own routes, City Hall establishes an elaborate new bureaucracy\u2014the Driving Efficiency Department (DED). When mandatory driving directions are disregarded, higher penalties and jail sentences are&nbsp;handed down, with armed guards arresting or shooting violators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One mild-mannered city official can no longer ignore the obvious: something is not right. He takes a different route. He and a collection of oddball friends organize a daring escape. They face barbed wired fences, machine guns, minefields, and army sharp shooters. When they finally reach the fenced-off border, they have to decide whether to risk death or languish in a world of endless uncertainty and terror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-amazon wp-block-embed-amazon\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"We Are Them: The Apocalypse Syndrome\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"500\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=kpd&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_dCOJTOsUaziqKg&#038;asin=B0942919FT&#038;tag=kpembed-20\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ISBN-13: 978-0-9615893-3-2&nbsp; <\/strong> <strong>ISBN-10:&nbsp; 0-9615893-3-7&nbsp; (E-Book<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-amazon-kindle wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-amazon\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/We-Are-Them-Apocalypse-Syndrome-ebook\/dp\/B0942919FT<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> &#8211; &#8212; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Ferret: The Reluctant King<\/em><\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Published on Feb. 4, 2020, available at   <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ferret-Reluctant-L-K-Samuels-ebook\/dp\/B0845QSXT2\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ferret-Reluctant-L-K-Samuels-ebook\/dp\/B0845QSXT2<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In L.K. Samuels\u2019s thrilling historical debut, an\norphan boy of royal blood captains a fleet of Irish and Dutch colonists, lands\nin the Americas of the 1700s, builds a new Irish nation, and defies threats from\nevery direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Orphaned when his father and the last rag-tag\nremnants of the Irish Army are defeated and killed, Ferret O\u2019Neil returns home\nto Cork. Although heir to the Irish throne of the Celtic High Kings, Ferret\ndenounces his title, believing that kings are more hellish than divine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp; But despite\nhis reluctance to get involved in political struggles, Ferret, barely out of\nhis teens, destroys an English man-of-war. He is elected captain of a 500-ton\nmerchantman, and flees with other colonists to the Netherlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Netherlands, Ferret rises to second in\ncommand of a Dutch-Irish community that seeks to build a fleet of ships to\nescape the old world. After many years of hardship, the colony finally sets\nsail across the Atlantic to establish an independent Irish nation, free from\nEuropean influences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the old world dogs the new. The British threaten\nto invade the thriving colony of <em>New Eire\n<\/em>from the north. Spanish military leaders to the south plot to undermine\nFerret\u2019s authority. Savages from the Yamasee tribe raid white settlements from\nthe interior. Ferret\u2019s traitorous cousin attempts a military coup to gain\ncontrol of the colony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;In order to cement an alliance with the Spanish in Florida, the Irish clergy demands that Ferret become king. Reluctantly Ferret accepts the crown and prepares his nation for war with the English, Yamasee, and insurgents. He imprisons dissidents, constructs a fortress, assembles an army, and becomes the tyrant he hated as a boy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ISBN: 978-0-9615893-2-5 <\/strong> <strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ISBN E-book: 0-9615893-2-9 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-amazon wp-block-embed-amazon\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ferret: The Reluctant King\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"500\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=kpd&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_COcZIwGbq9izOu&#038;asin=B0845QSXT2&#038;tag=kpembed-20\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Killing History: The False Left-Right Political Spectrum (2019)<\/em><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Major work on the history of the Political Spectrum, over 1,500 footnotes by major historians and political scientists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-amazon wp-block-embed-amazon\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Killing History: The False Left-Right Political Spectrum and the Battle between the &#039;Free Left&#039; and the &#039;Statist Left&#039;\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"500\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=kpd&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_PsTQEtsJjhkuCQ&#038;asin=0961589310&#038;tag=kpembed-20\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/killinghistory.net\/\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"http:\/\/killinghistory.net\/\">Killing History website for more information<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Shocking Revelations in L.K.

Germany is a socialist people&#8217;s state,\u201d and\nthat \u201cEnglish capitalists want to destroy Hitlerism.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trotsky not only said that\n\u201cMussolini was his best pupil\u201d, but that Mussolini \u201cwas the only man who could have brought about the\nrevolution of the proletariat in Italy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the 1919 Italian elections,\nMussolini campaigned as the \u201cLenin of Italy\u201d under the banner of his Fascist\nRevolutionary Party (PFR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1934, Mussolini boasted that \u201cThree-fourths of the Italian economy, industrial\nand agricultural, is in the hands of the state,\u201d the highest rate of\nstate-owned enterprises in the entire world outside of the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ever since the beginning of the\nsocialist movement in the 1820s, almost every notable socialist was a virulent anti-Semite, condemning Jews\nas their primary capitalist-bourgeois enemy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to many historians,\nespecially Prof. Zeev Sternhell, Fascism was a \u201cspecific revision of Marxism.\u201d\nProf. A. James Gregor argues that fascism was a \u201cvariant of classical Marxism.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his 1933 \u201cPolitical and Social\nDoctrine of Fascism\u201d Mussolini wrote that the future of his movement represented\n\u201ca century of the Left, a century of Fascism.\u201d <em><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.wixstatic.com\/ugd\/927b40_c1ee26114a4d480cb048f5f96a4cc68f.pdf\">https:\/\/docs.wixstatic.com\/ugd\/927b40_c1ee26114a4d480cb048f5f96a4cc68f.pdf<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two political polar opposites are\nnot Fascism and Communism, but the liberal capitalism of John Locke against the\ntotalitarianism of Fascist-Marxist ideology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both Hitler and Mussolini supported equality, \u201csocial justice\u201d,\nand the labor movement. In a 1920 speech, Hitler declared that \u201clasting inner health\u201d must be \u201cbuilt on internal social justice\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Shocking Revelations in L.K. Samuels new book, FACT Sheet 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Karl Marx believed in\nnationalistic socialism. He was a Pan-German who supported a unified German\nEmpire. Considering Germans to be a superior race, Marx wrote in 1848: \u201cThe\nonly possible solution which will preserve Germany\u2019s honor and Germany\u2019s\ninterest is, we repeat, a war with Russia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Second\nInternational, an organization of European socialist and labor parties,\ndissolved in 1916, abandoned international socialism in favor of their\ncountries\u2019 nationalistic engagement in World War I. Nationalism was seen as a\nway to maintain a particular culture and language within a socialist framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mussolini was caught up\nin a rush to support nationalistic socialism. He wrote: \u201cDuring my whole\nlife I was an internationalist socialist. When the Great War broke out I saw\nthat all our parties that were internationalists became nationalist socialists,\nthat happened to me and that is fascism.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trotsky equated\nStalinism with fascism, declaring in 1936 that \u201cStalinism and fascism, in spite\nof a deep difference in social foundations, are symmetrical phenomena. In many\nof their features they show a deadly similarity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the beginning of\nsocialism in 1820, socialists have been the dominant force behind\nanti-Semitism. Socialists regard the Jewish people and their culture as the\narch-enemies of the proletariat\u2014which includes the bourgeoisie, middle class,\ncapitalists, financiers, and bankers who engage in unearned income\u2014usury. Marx\ncondemned the Jewish religion as \u201cHuckstering. What is his worldly God?\nMoney&#8230; Money is the jealous God of Israel, in face of which no other God may\nexist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stalin became a Russian\nnationalist under his theory of \u201cSocialism in One Country,\u201d an approach that\nHitler supported. This tribal-national movement away from internationalism led\nto National Communism and National Bolshevisms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">National Socialist\nmovement was very popular among German college students. In fact, university\nstudents were the first stratum in Germany to back the Nazis.

Samuels<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chaos gets a bad rap. Few people realize that without the dynamics of chaos, order would not exist. In fact, nothing would exist. Without chaos there would be no creation, no structure and no existence. After all, order is merely the repetition of patterns; chaos is the process that establishes those patterns. Without this creative self-organizing force, the universe would be devoid of biological life, the birth of stars and galaxies, and the singularity of matter and energy &#8212; everything we have come to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>In Defense of Chaos<\/em> examines why chaology provides a slew of\nscientific evidence that open-ended, adaptable and evolving systems work far\nbetter than closed-ended, inflexible ones. Not only do dynamic systems work\nbetter, but they foster self-determination, social harmony and a choice-driven\nsociety. The nature of the physical world favors the freedom for people to\nself-organize and self-govern without the interference of external command and\ncontrol structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the help of Quantum Mechanics and the Uncertainty Principle, chaos\ntheory proves that the universe is not based on the old Newtonian physics of\norder and precision, but rather on probability and uncertainty. Events often\narise by chance, with no more reliability than a pinball machine. The future\nleaves no footprints. The likelihood that the sun will come up each morning is\njust that \u2013 a high probability, not a certainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is an important point to consider, because the denizens of the political\ndeep end put their faith behind linear, deterministic structures that don\u2019t\nallow for spontaneous order, decentralization or free choice by individual\nagents. Political linearists and control freaks not only fail to think outside\nthe box; they would have us ban the box. Most political systems are inherently\ntop-down vertical systems, predatory by nature, and are geared to suffocate any\ncreativity within their sphere of influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Defense of Chaos takes the reader far down the rabbit hole where few are\nwilling to explore, pitting the \u201cunstructured order\u201d of chaos against the\n\u201cstructured order\u201d of linear-based politics. The book not only exposes a new\nway of thinking, but shows why chaos theory and complexity science will\nrevolutionize the social, political and economic structures of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Available at Amazon.com &#8212;  <a href=\"http:\/\/ISBN-10: 0961589310 ISBN-13: 978-0961589318\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Defense-Chaos-Chaology-Politics-Economics\/dp\/1935942069 <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>ISBN-10:<\/strong>&nbsp;1935942069  e-book $9.99<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>ISBN-13:<\/strong>&nbsp;978-1935942054 paperback $19.95<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"619\" height=\"932\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lksamuels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/chaos-book-cover-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-230\" style=\"width:271px;height:408px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lksamuels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/chaos-book-cover-1.jpg 619w, https:\/\/www.lksamuels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/chaos-book-cover-1-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 619px) 100vw, 619px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Facets of Liberty: A Libertarian Primer (second edition, 2009)<\/em><\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Facets of Liberty<\/em> is an anthology about human freedom. &nbsp;Many of the thought-provoking articles in the original edition came from the libertarian student movement in the 1960s and 1970s, before the rise of the Libertarian Party. Considered radical at the time, most were penned by well-known authors such as political adviser Karl Hess, entrepreneur Douglas Casey, law professor Butler D. Shaffer, philosopher Robert LeFevre, psychologist Thomas Szasz, <em>Reason<\/em> magazine founder Robert Poole, space industrialist Gary C. Hudson, individualist feminist Wendy McElroy, agorist Samuel Edward Konkin III, historian Richard J. Maybury, anarcho-capitalist and economist David Friedman, and many more, all selected and edited by L.K. Samuels. A great source explaining the different meanings of individual liberty and classical liberalism.<br>&nbsp;<br>For this second edition, 12 new articles were added by several new authors including historian Jeffrey Rogers Hummel, economist David R. Henderson, blogger Martin Masse and TV commentator Mark Selzer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-amazon wp-block-embed-amazon\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Facets of Liberty: A Libertarian Primer\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"500\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=kpd&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_ewtawHvOjthFYz&#038;asin=0578003104&#038;tag=kpembed-20\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">_____________________________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Facetas de la Libertad: Un manual libertario<\/em><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How was <em>Facets of Liberty<\/em> finally translated into Spanish?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the mid-1980s, many readers have urged us to make <em>Facets of Liberty<\/em> available to the Hispanic population.

A great fan of English author, journalist, and critic the late George Orwell\u2014think \u201cAnimal Farm\u201d and \u201cNineteen Eighty-Four\u201d\u2014Samuels explores extreme control or the lack of it, chaos, and dystopian social science forces that confound and control human life. And then he writes about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; His first book, \u201cIn Defense of Chaos: The Chaology of Politics, Economics, and Human Action\u201d (2013), champions the dynamics of chaos, reminding that, without it, nothing would exist\u2014good, bad or jury\u2019s still out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cChaos is a means of during something you\u2019ve never done before. We\u2019re uncomfortable with the chaotic,\u201d he said, \u201cbut if we keep going back to it, we create order. Order is nothing but repetition. People need to accept this effort in order to do what we\u2019ve never done before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuels has a propensity to look at things inside out, upside down, and backward, which enables him to better know, to understand, to make something of it. In 2019, he published \u201cKilling History: The False Left-Right Political Spectrum and the Battle between the Free Left and the Statist Left\u201d a tome which took nearly seven years to write.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI had books stacked so high up for research,\u201d he said, \u201cI had to pair it down. Sometimes I\u2019d pay $400 to $500 a book just to be sure a concept was true. I even bought books just for a single-page reference. What it all came down to is that almost everything about the political spectrum is dead wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuels was on a roll. Just over a year ago, he published \u201cWe Are Them: The Apocalypse Syndrome,\u201d a dystopian novel that explores a small community, post \u201cotherworldly explosion,\u201d as citizens strive to make sense of a sudden and complete absence of order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His newly released novel, \u201cWe Are Them: The War Years,\u201d circa 2050, the story starts with a couple who begin to realize the discord in their relationship is nothing compared to the chaos of their community, which seems to be beyond resolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere is a lot of mystery going on. But, as the protagonists start to see things more clearly,\u201d said Samuels, \u201cthey begin to realize that America is the terrorist, against which the whole world is fighting. While it\u2019s hard to get their heads around being the bad guys, it\u2019s even harder to figure out what to do about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuels loves movies and books, loves exploring stories that confound, stories where characters are confronted with an impossible situation. Whether they\u2019re fearful or brave, resourceful or bewildered, he wants to see how they go about solving their problems. Therein lies the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI love to conceive of strange characters in a strange situation, and see how they handle it,\u201d he said. \u201cI try to relate to humanity, to explore how they deal with fear and the unknown. I delve into what people do when they don\u2019t understand what\u2019s going on, when they don\u2019t want to be involved, but they are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samuels\u2019 books are for minds that like to wander to the outer reaches of life as we know it, only to find that fiction just might be closer to fact than we imagine. The storyline behind \u201cWe Are Them\u201d is chaotic and confusing. Which is the point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Becoming an author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an undergrad at Cal State Fullerton, Samuels gained writing experience exploring and explaining other people\u2019s situations while working as a journalist for the Orange County Register. The more articles he wrote on deadline, the more he realized he wanted to take the time to write a full-length work. While he never lost sight of his goal, the practicalities of life intervened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He married Jane Heider Samuels, who\u2019d earned her MBA from USC and had become a programmer for Edwards Laboratory. Once she was expecting their first of two sons, she wanted to move to Carmel to live near her parents. He, who had established a typesetting graphics firm, took longer to relocate, waiting two years to sell a high-resolution company at the dawning of the digital age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once he came to Carmel, Samuels got his real estate license and went largely into property management. Today, the couple is retired, their sons are in their 30s, and they are enjoying a grandchild. Yet there is nothing retiring about researching and writing dystopian novels. Particularly since Samuels is already well into writing his third novel in what will be a \u201cWe Are Them\u201d trilogy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve promised my readers I would do a trilogy,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m always reading, exploring, trying to figure out how things work or don\u2019t work. I really appreciate complex stories written simply. It seems my readers do, as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">L.K. Samuels\u2019s books are available via Amazon.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lksamuels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/WE-Are-Them-front-bookcover.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lksamuels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/WE-Are-Them-front-bookcover-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-317\" style=\"width:203px;height:304px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lksamuels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/WE-Are-Them-front-bookcover-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.lksamuels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/WE-Are-Them-front-bookcover-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.lksamuels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/WE-Are-Them-front-bookcover.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lksamuels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/thumbnail_We-Are-Them_WarYears_B.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lksamuels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/thumbnail_We-Are-Them_WarYears_B-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-318\" style=\"width:201px;height:302px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lksamuels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/thumbnail_We-Are-Them_WarYears_B-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.lksamuels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/thumbnail_We-Are-Them_WarYears_B-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.lksamuels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/thumbnail_We-Are-Them_WarYears_B.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the official website for L.K.
