Hermosa

By Yesika Salgado

“[Salgado has] stayed true to her voice, and it has paid off.” – LA Times

Third installment of Salgado’s popular poetry trilogy.

Hermosa is on Salgado’s path to home, a thread pulled when she thinks about who she is and who she has been. The journey to Hermosa is a path of firsts, of mistakes, of celebrations, of the love, the crush, the disaster, the rebuilding, and the never-ending cycle of growth.

from Ever After let’s say it worked. you became boyfriend that became husband. I had the babies and named them after planets. we built a house out of straw. you kept your bottles. I kept everything else. we tied our relationship with our parents out in the yard. two angry dogs that barked day and night. you still hold me like I can break. I still cry during sex. but it’s love. you and I. we are a mess. you and I.

SCB DISTRIBUTORS..|..FALL 2019..|..3 Jack the Ripper’s New Testament Occultism and Bible Mania in 1888

By Nigel Graddon

The first evidence that the Whitechapel murderers were a hit team associated with a centuries-old European occult confederacy dedicated to human sacrifice. This theory was first raised by Jim Keith in Secret and Suppressed (1993) and corroborated in the private papers of a Monsignor who spied for Pope Pius X.

The priest told of a Vatican-based cabal of assassins originally formed by the Borgias in alliance with a Teutonic occult group in the 9th Century.

They travelled to London to carry out the Ripper murders to solve a sticky problem for the British Royal Family. Later, this group met in Basel in 1897 to plan the building blocks for National Socialism and the Holocaust. They were joined by US and UK members of the JACK THE RIPPER AND AN OCCULT 19th Century’s influential and richly funded VATICAN SOCIETY Bible Revision movement.

Nigel Graddon is a retired British Civil Servant who researches ancient mysteries and Western mystical traditions. He lives in Wales.

By Michael Lee

Nuanced, almost tactile, these are poems about sobriety, and what comes after, patient med - itations on the land where the people we love live and are also buried. This is a book of love, loss, and the beauty of the earth as salvation.

from The Study of Words and Heaven Given that the etymological opposite of remember is not actually forget, but is in fact dismember, I ask you now to consider that we’ve been reading Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein all wrong: the Dr.’s patchwork monster was remembered to life and so is this not an allegory for the ways in which our memories betray us? Is it true if I remember a dead boy one thousand different ways, a thousand new boys will rise from my mouth? Will the sea give him back? Do you recall when the Bill of Boyhood was passed, requiring that all ash gathered be remembered into fire and such flame be returned to wood with which we rebuilt our childhood homes as we remembered them? And so they were, of course, erected backward. THE BEAUTY OF NATURE Michael Lee is a Norwegian-American writer, CAN HEAL GREAT LOSSES youth worker and organizer.

By Duane ‘Keffe D’ Davis with Yusuf Jah

The true story of the explosive consequences when the powerful worlds of the streets, entertainment, and corrupt law enforcement collide.

More than 20 years after the killings of global Hip-Hop icons Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G., this gritty memoir is an authentic narrative from a street player who was inextricably involved. Duane ‘Keffe D’ Davis’ memoir underscores the notorious universal corruption of crime and punishment in the US in an environment where plea deals, grand jury indictments, and cooperation with the FBI have become commonplace.

GRITTY MEMOIR OF CRIP LIFE Duane ‘Keffe D’ Davis was former shot-caller for the Southside Compton Crips and kingpin of a Compton-based drug operation. He rose to national prominence as one of the only living witnesses to the 1996 slaying of rapper Tupac Shakur. Featured on several TV specials on A&E, USA Network, Fox, and BET, Davis lives in LA.

By Robert Rosen

“A kosher Catcher in the Rye, but in a category all its own…” – David Comfort, The Rock and Roll Book of the Dead and An Insider’s Guide to Publishing

“A compelling portrait of a vanished time and a place.” – Huffington Post

From the final days of the Brooklyn Dodgers to the arrival of the Beatles in 1964, Rosen takes readers on an unsentimental autobiographical journey through Flatbush, where working-class concentration camp survivors and army vets were hell-bent on vengeance, seething with hatred, and suffering from PTSD.

Darkly comic, Rosen grapples with the threat of nuclear annihilation and the historical weight of the Holocaust, obsessively draws mush room clouds and broods about Nazi atrocities as he watches his neighbors celebrate the execution of Adolf Eichmann. His child’s-eye view encom - passes goyim, Jews, money, sex, class, racism, the Rosenbergs, the space race, UFOs, Eva Perón, President Kennedy, the Yankees, literature, COMING OF AGE IN FLATBUSH: 1954-1964 language, and memory itself.

A mutant fiction of speculative mysticism: time travel, visions and inner paths to outer space.

The mystic Hildegard of Bingen finds beauty in the moral and spiritual ruins of her medieval world. In her 43rd year, she inscribes her cosmic visions into Scivias, a brilliant, beautiful codex of writing and illuminations thought to be destroyed during the evacuation of Earth.

Hildegard’s mystic toolkit for the future includes a cosmology, medicine, a morphology of crystals, recipes – and the symbols of a new language. On a new Earth, Bingen’s crystalline language is communicated not through sound, but by feeling and light, and arrives just in time for a world in flux, one whose coordinates are being recast.

Muir’s transcendental style and spiritual attach- ment to nature still ring true in the modern world, while the uncompromising integrity evidenced in his life and writing continues to inspire a new generation of environmental activism.

How many hearts with warm red blood in them are beating under cover of the woods, and how many teeth and eyes are shining! A multitude of animal people, intimately related to us, but of whose lives we know almost nothing, are as busy about their own affairs as we are about ours.

John Muir (1838-1914) was the founder of America’s National Park system and a passionate believer in the sanctity of wilderness.

Laurie Battle was born and raised in John Muir’s BY THE TIMELESS ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST backyard in the SF Bay Area.

By Ilchi Lee

Here is an innovative, simple, effective path to pineal, or Third Eye meditation, the advanced technique of sages and seekers for thousands of years.

The pineal gland, located in the center of the brain, produces melatonin, modulating bio - rhythms and sleep, as well as DMT, during deep meditation. With its pinecone-like spirals, it embodies the perfect Fibonacci sequence, symbolizing growth and the unifying force of creation. Receiving more blood flow than any other organ, it affects emotions, cognition and memory and has been understood as the Third Eye, that which sees within. Rooted in ancient principles of universal energy, the accessible meditation practices described here can empower people to connect to the wisdom PINEAL GLAND – AKA INNER EYE – MEDITATION within themselves.

One minute you’re talking to a hot chick online, but she’s really a robot working for an evil cult and sends you a virus masked as porn...and then the virus lets Satan into everyone’s computers and hypnotizes them...but your computer has parental locks, so you don’t get the virus...and then God messages you to say you’re the only person on earth who can save human existence.

By Scott Ritter

“The purpose of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down.” – Lord Ismay, first NATO Secretary General

After WWII, NATO entrenched US dominance by manu facturing a Russian threat, perpetuating German disunity and advancing America as a perpetual military presence in Europe.

But the reunification of Germany in 1989 and the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991 marked the end of NATO’s legitimacy. However, America desired to continue its military dominance of Europe. Therefore NATO deviated from its original mandate of collective self-defense to expand eastward, fighting offensive wars of aggression and expanding its reach to North Africa, the Middle East and Asia. These missions have prompted new debate about the mandate of NATO: to protect Europe and the trans- Atlantic or to return to contain Russia’s regional ambitions? Neither mission is in the interests of Europe, portending the demise of an NATO IS FAR PAST ITS EXPIRATION DATE organization which has long lost its purpose and utility.

Scott Ritter, a former Marine intelligence officer, was Chief Inspector in the UN search for WMDs in Iraq; he became a vocal critic of the Iraq war, testifying before the US Senate and the House. He has spoken to NATO, the UN, the British, Canadian, Iraqi, Japanese and European The End of NATO Parliaments.

By Andrei Martyanov

The liberal world order, a euphemism for American global hegemony, is crumbling at an accelerating pace, and the outcome remains unknown.

The US desperately seeks to preserve the status quo, which rests upon the world’s acknowledge- ment of its military supremacy. Short of actual warfare, mutual assessment of relative military power is key in the determination of national and geopolitical status. Mistaken assessments can lead to catastrophic mistakes.

However, American hypotheses about the future of warfare, aka Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA), have been failing, and the author explains why. He offers insight into the evolution of weapons and how new weapons influence international relations. He also reviews models assessing the current geopolitical situation with a forecast of the future of warfare and how THE FUTURE OF GEOPOLITICAL WARFARE it may change international relations toward a new geopolitical equilibrium.

Andrei Martyanov is an expert on the Russian military. A Soviet Coast Guard officer through 1990, he moved to the US in 1995, where he is a Lab Director in commercial aerospace.

By Jack Rasmus

Neoliberal policies have played a central role in the financialization of the US economy, exacerbating income and wealth inequality polarizing US society and policy. Capitalist elites’ goal in elaborating these changes is to restore and/or extend their hegemony over domestic class and global chal - lengers. The current designation, since 1978, is Neoliberalism, obfuscating domestic class warfare.

Rasmus describes the origins and evolution of the American form of Neoliberalism. It has led to the breakdown of government institutions, the decline of political parties, of democratic practices, rights, values and civil liberties. Conversely, it has embedded the Neoliberal credo that tax cuts create jobs, free trade benefits all, low interest rates generate investment, entitlement programs are the cause of government US ECONOMIC POLICY MAINTAINS deficits, markets are always efficient – all ELITE CLASS DOMINANCE empirically unverifiable propositions.

Every developed nation provides their citizens with quality, affordable health care except the US. More than twenty million Americans still do not have health insurance, and the situation is worsening because of the Republican Party’s perverse goals.

In this economic and moral case for universal coverage, Colton offers a clear explanation of the present US system and contrasts it with approaches taken by countries providing universal coverage. He then offers a thorough alternative plan for universal health care run by the federal govern ment and funded through a new health care transaction tax.

“Perfect probably isn’t what you think it is.” – Buddy Wakefield

Wakefield’s first new book in 8 years is a poetic novella exploring his climb out of misery, shame and addiction, through his joyful salvation in meditation.

He finally rests in the shining clearing of insight with refreshing humor and insights about growing up queer in the South, a toxic fear of intimacy and the devastation of a failed relationship.

from Harmony Enemy If you really want to do something flawless stay present. Your fate is just another word for now, just another name for transmute density. Meditation– is critical. And mercy. Have mercy. These bodies are a sticky hologram. Being human does not require any further context. Your expectations of me are not my responsibility. Those are yours.

By Jacqueline Suskin

These poems expose lessons of adult and child - hood trauma, relationship joys and failures, and the hard work of true togetherness. Part trans - cendental romance, part earthbound therapy, Suskin offers painful proof that human love is always worth the risk.

How I Fell in Love with the Earth I don’t remember being born, but I do recall the feeling of choosing to come here. A master in the dark asked my burning light to be a life and I shot forth, hungry for the ground and body. After 34 years on this case, I can trace back to the first moment of awe. I stood, with unmindful legs, above a flagstone flipped over, long nightcrawlers worming in black soil. I was inhaling each color, but also the chance that made such pink lengths live at all. Their tenderness against the thick crust that welcomed them into fissures, into fine versions of string sucked toward the core, LOVE IS WORTH THE RISK roaming blind, becoming and becoming. Everything else was unlit space, the void, and the green grass moved as painted strips swaying underwater. How many years went by before I noticed that my interests were all tied to this big rock in orbit? I’m ready to go back. I’ve witnessed enough. I’m tired and my log is full. What a place to consider with the tools of senses. Help in the What perfection to break my heart. Dark Season

In this third poetry collection, Jay stands behind his bar, watches, listens, and gives these objects, moments and feelings resonance. The lost objects find themselves in these poems:

a fiddler marvels over the birth of his child...a slaughterhouse fly sips condensation off a pint glass...John Henry’s father mourns the loss of his son...Saturn stops by for a visit...a love poem emerges on the back of a to-do list.

By Aziza Barnes

An Afro-surrealist excavation of a genderqueer blk millennial’s formal introduction to their ancestral point of Mecca and No Return: the American South.

In poetic essays, Barnes weaves and unbraids the synapses of a blk American falling in and out of time.

from A GOD IS BASED ON WHERE YOU’RE STANDING I am intimated by how much pain a body can hold. Your father sings you to sleep, on the nights he doesn’t play Ken Burn’s Civil War tapes, the sounds of slaves bellowing “Jacob’s Ladder,” the recitation of Union and Confederate soldier’s letters home. Mosquito bites and ant colonies converge on your fingers, under your bed. He’s not a bad man, he’s just a man and that is sometimes hate enough. You tell him one day that he’s not technically an “African American,” because his lineage doesn’t go to slave ships, doesn’t hail from Ghana and the great con of the millennia, the first slim door of No Return. Your father yells at you, says he’s as blk as you are, and even in the diatribe that follows from him, you know you’re right and he’s less right. He’s hidden his iteration of blkness, otherness, in your mother, whose people come from Ohio by way of Virginia by way of a boat from a part of West Africa that remains unsayable because that fascist regime kept poor or no records. When he sings you to sleep, it’s a song asking rhetorically, what do you dream? PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR AND PLAYWRIGHT

By Leslie Croxford

“Leslie Croxford invites comparison with E.M. Forster and Lawrence Durrell.” – The New Yorker

A mass murder. A fugitive from justice. A long- lost father. A deadly secret.

Recovering from a nervous breakdown, Klaus Werner retreats to an Algerian monastery in the Sahara to sketch desert insects. Upon arrival, however, he discovers that the monks have all just been slaughtered, with local extremists suspected. Werner declines safe passage away, as the desert seems to promise solitude.

Over the following months, though, he encounters travelling hermits, desert warriors, an attractive American palaeontologist and others, all strangely connected to him and concealing secrets. Even the insects he is sketching are mysteriously deformed, embodying some hidden reality. Finally, he is forced to confront the echoes of one of the darkest moments in modern history, as well as the deepest reaches of his own past. HALLUCINATORY FICTION EVOKING BOWLES, CAMUS AND MOSHIN HAMID This is a suspenseful, subtle exploration of emotional resurgence, sparingly written and psychologically precise.

“For him, art consisted of questioning, kindness, self-discipline, music and dreams. He was never a leader, but he will always be loved.” – Thomas Mann

“Keyserling understands how to describe a summer afternoon so that as the bright sunshine turns to twilight one has the sensation of a whole lifetime.” – Hermann Hesse

A group of German aristocrats gathers at a seaside village on the Baltic Sea for a summer holiday, where their lives are regulated by rigid protocol and archaic codes of honor. But their disciplined world is thrown into disarray by the unexpected presence of a rebellious young countess. Ulti - mately, their self-imposed repressions dissolve into chaos.

Originally published on the eve of WWI, Keyserling’s masterpiece offers a vivid portrait of a society on the verge of dissolution.
