Bassam and the Seven Secret Scrolls

                  What if you had the seven most powerful ideas in the world?  For a thousand years rumors spread among the desert peoples that mysterious scrolls containing fantastic secrets had fashioned the Abdali-ud-din into the richest, most powerful trading dynasty in the world.  Men would kill for such knowledge. Indeed, they had killed. And then suddenly, the scrolls simply disappeared.  This is the story of the last holder of the scrolls, an old chief named Zafir. Worried that his life was nearly spent, Zafir chose young Bassam to be his heir to the scrolls. Was Bassam ready? To prove the young man Zafir took him on a long caravan trek with the intent of teaching him the scrolls. Partway into the trip came a deadly surprise. Things changed.  The hidden messages of the scrolls are timeless. The same secrets that gave such riches to the dynasties of old are just as potent today. Learn these cryptic mysteries that Zafir passed to Bassam, and Bassam to  his beloved Rasha, and be delightfully surprised how the Seven Secret Scrolls may guide all who possess them on a pleasant journey toward peace and prosperity.

The NAKED SOCIALIST provides an astonishing, new look at the greatest power of darkness and force yet born into the earth. It is the real story of socialism. In this hard hitting single volume, author Paul B. Skousen strips away the fakery, the false hopes, the hollow dreams, and meaningless promises that socialists have foisted on countless millions for thousands of years. He explains what socialism is, where it came from, how it works, and why it always destroys its host nation. This easy-to-read overview exposes socialism’s track record from more than 6,000 years ago, and follows it right up until today, giving proof of its predictable failure to create, innovate, and protect. Skousen fulfills an urgent need to answer such questions as, Is Barack Obama a socialist? How much of the U.S. Constitution has been replaced with socialism? What is socialism, and why is it bad? Why did the Founding Fathers specifically make socialism illegal? How did socialism destroy Rome, Jamestown, and Plymouth? Are these same patterns of demise at work today? Which U.S. presidents socialized America? How is socialism hurting nations around the globe? What are the best examples of socialism in action today? What are the Seven Pillars of Socialism? How may people learn to recognize socialism in their midst, or if they’re thinking like a socialist? What are the 46 goals of socialism? What will it take to eradicate socialism once and for all?

Real socialists hate this book. It flushes all their utopian ideas down the crapper with rude and mocking hilarity. For the more studious and casual bathroom readers who seek pleasurable reading for hours on end, here is Part One of an astonishing treasure trove of socialist failures, slaughters, and collapses. It is written for the rising generation of forgetful citizenry who keep falling for all those free lunches that are routinely promised in the socialists’ 5-year Porcelain Platform Plan (please be seated). For the first time ever, the hilarious, the shocking, the revealing, the numbing, the suspiciously conspiratorial if not blatantly declarative of socialism’s darkest and most profoundly secretive platitudes [inhale and take breath here], are all brought together in this first installment of Comrade Paul’s Socialist Bathroom Reader. Organized for many gleeful months of raucous and riveting reading, the curious and disgusted proletarians may delve into: • Socialism’s amazing world records • The anti-socialist themes in Hollywood movies • The truth about Hitler’s socialistic agenda • The murder mystery of the most hated woman in America • The truth behind shoddy imports from socialist countries • The evil seven pillars of socialism designed to destroy natural rights • The U.S. presidents who furthered socialism in America • And an unending supply of socialist jokes freshly plucked from the impoverished oppressed who must live under socialism each and every day. This book need not be read from front to back in the usual fashion for this is not a typical bourgeois fashionable book. To the contrary, it is meant to be picked up and read from any page---that is, rudely arbitrarily, just like socialism. It is most important, on penalty of 10 years at the Retraining Camp, that severe attention be paid to the reading because in the end, there will be a quiz. Therefore, Dear Leader says, “Must read.”

Have you ever wondered what the ancient prophets had to say about these modern times? Find the answer in Prophecy and Modern Times, a brief but powerful exploration into 6,000 years of prophecies about these latter days. All the ancient warnings and promises are beautifully distilled, organized, and explained for clear understanding and quick application by this generation.As President Ezra Taft Benson said in the foreword, “Every person interested in present and future events in this war-torn world will profit from a careful perusal of these pages.”Prophecy and Modern Times will help you interpret what ancient prophecies mean for your own life, and for the modern world. These prophets foresaw many of the complexities of the modern era, the Middle East, America, the rise of enormous economic and military powers, the stealthy corruption of nations and of personal lives, and how the second coming of Jesus Christ will finally begin a long-awaited era of peace. Gary D. Goodwin, of the Association for Mormon Letters, said “Skousen reveals his brilliance in his organization of such a monumentally complicated task. He suggests how to interpret prophecy, tells us its purpose and our responsibility to understand it. Skousen is masterful!”
