Here is a book about the most notorious of Soviet death camps in the Siberian region, 2 to 3 million people, most of them White, died under the cruel auspices of the Hammer and Sickle.

This book is about the worst camp in communism, and the people who were sent there on a one-way journey to a camp where there were more real victims than the fictional death tole at Auschwitz.

(Note: This book is now out-of-print, but now available online)

"This excellent historical work gives us a painstaking account of a subject only barely touched on in 'The Gulag Archipelago'... 'Kolyma' may well be the best place to begin an acquaintance with this appalling material."
-Hilton Kramer in The New York Times Book Review

Solzhenitsyn, in The Gulag Archipelago, calls Kolyma the "pole of cold and cruelty" of Stalin's labour-camp system, adding that it is so notorious in the USSR that he himself is only devoting a few pages to it. In this important book, first published in hardback in 1978, Robert Conquest makes it clear why Kolyma is a name comparable with Auschwitz. Its three million-odd victims perished not in gas chambers, but predominantly by cold and hunger, and, as Dr. Conquest demonstrates, these killings were the conscious result of a policy of extermination.

Kolyma is a vast area in the north-east of arctic Siberia and could only be reached by sea, during the ice-free summer months, over which the prison hulks carried their victims in appalling conditions. Drawing on a number of first-hand accounts of life in the camps, the author "has brilliantly made a pattern of the patchwork. His approach, his style, his controlled detachment all suggest a man who is not overcalling his hand" (The Listener).

"Outstanding... a moving compilation of direct experiences coupled with painstaking research to ensure accuracy."
-Deam W. Given in The Chicago Tribune

Robert Conquest's works include several celebrated books on the Soviet Union such as Russia After Khrushchev and The Great Terror.

Spiritual electricity!

That's what happens when Barbara Marx Hubbard taps into her visionary genius and calls each of us to give our greatest gifts to the Shift on planet Earth - a jolt of soulful juice to power our inner batteries.

Yesterday, the subtle electricity coursed through the hearts and minds of all those gathered live - especially during the collective "mmmm" of our "planetary smile" at the end of the Barbara's meditation.

Here's your recording - I encourage you to listen as soon as possible: http://birth2012.com/library

Every time I dance with Barbara for these Birth 2012 Activation Events, I am reinvigorated in MY passion and purpose, which is creating The Shift Network to empower the Shift on planet earth.

You see, it is show time for the human race. We've cooked up quite a number of crises as our wake-up call to remember who we truly are and begin to work together for a more whole, healthy, sustainable, and thriving world. This doesn't have to be a grim, serious duty of being responsible global citizens and handling our "problems." It can be a delight, as Barbara demonstrates.

We CAN navigate through earth's crises and birth a new era, following our "compass of joy"and discovering potent collaborations with other kindred souls. It's really not all that hard - it only seems that way when we are isolated, discouraged, and alone, as most of us have been trained to be.

The Birth 2012 vision of a Planetary Birth Day Celebration can help us awaken as a movement, weaving the dreams of thousands, then millions, and eventually billions together to co-create a new era in human evolution. That era can be filled with grace, powered by love, and seasoned with sheer delight.

The good news is that you don't have to wait. We can create that era RIGHT NOW, in miniature, with the Agents of Conscious Evolution Training starting on August 9th, led by Barbara and Devaa Haley Mitchell and featuring renowned guest teachers like Ken Wilber and Andrew Cohen.

It's been carefully honed to empower you to SHIFT from ego to essence, FIND your vocation of destiny, UNDERSTAND your evolutionary journey, CONNECT in heart resonance with others, and CO-CREATE a new world. It has attracted some of the brightest lights in the world who are committed to make the Shift a reality and who are now part of our global team.

As we went over the feedback from the 825 ACEs who have completed the training, we were excited that 93% had experienced a personal shift in how they feel in the world, 92% are mostly or completely clear on their passion and purpose, and 91% can share the evolutionary story in a way people understand. They feel more "confident," "connected," "supported," "courageous," and "joyful."

What is clear to me is that there is no better way to charge up your spiritual batteries than 12 weeks with Barbara Marx Hubbard and those attracted to the ACE program. Plugging into the high voltage insight and energy Barbara offers via video each week is like connecting yourself to the Source power plant - it helps you turn ON to your full potential.

Who could have imagined that building a movement to change the world could be such a joyous experience?

Please join us and liberate your own creative genius in the process!

World Affairs / Conscious Evolution
Date: 08-02-11
Host: George Noory
Guests:

In the latter half, visionary, social pioneer and author Barbara Marx Hubbard discussed the idea of conscious evolution, and how humankind must evolve or face extinction. She suggested that evolution can occur by choice rather chance, and while many are focused on doom & gloom 2012 scenarios, she presented a hopeful vision of our future. "I think we're seeing the emergence of a universal species...we're going to have extended life, extended intelligence, extended contact throughout the universe, that we'll be freed up from repetitive labor...and the species itself will evolve into a co-created humanity... But if we don't, if we stay self-centered, separate, competitive, overpopulating and polluting, we won't make it," she stated.
We're seeing a breakthrough of more people becoming conscious of god, super-nature, spirit, or tendency of higher order-- a transcending impulse of higher evolution, she continued. Hubbard, now 81, shared some of the fascinating paths in her life, how she turned from a housewife into a "futurist," her relationship with Buckminster Fuller, and details of her run for Vice President in 1984 (Neale Donald Walsch recently penned a biography of Hubbard called The Mother of Invention).

Suppressed Inventions and Other Discoveries

A scientist with a revolutionary cure for AIDS is incarcerated without explanation. Valuable artifacts are mysteriously misplaced by a prominent archaeological institution. Three celebrated astronauts perish in a suspicious fire after voicing their criticism of the US space program. Yet our world's most powerful agencies hastily dispel these alarming reports as conspiracy theories, and bury them in padlocked archives. The fact is that a suppression syndrome exists in our society. Suppressed Inventions and Other Discoveries exposes the startling degree of truth behind the rumors.

Jonathan Eisen has collected over forty intriguing stories of scientific cover-ups and programs of misinformation concocted to conceal some of the most phenomenal innovations in mankind's history. These no-holds-barred accounts force us to confront the naivetéâand dangerâof trusting our academic and political leaders to act always for the common good. Suppressed Inventions and Other Discoveries presents documented evidence that corporate self-interest, scientific arrogance, and political savvy have contrived to keep us in the dark about technological breakthroughs or interplanetary contact that may shift the current balance of power.

Prepare yourself for a revealing look at the research and development to which we've been denied access. Suppressed Inventions and Other Discoveries begins by examining the ties that bind the medical establishment to powerful pharmaceutical corporations. Then it details the struggle of the independent researcher against Orthodox Science and its code of conduct, the Scientific Method. Next, the book investigates the cover-up of information concerning UFOs and extraterrestrial life that's certain to make you reconsider what you thought was science fiction. The final section discusses just a few of the numerous alternate energy resources and fuel savers that, if put on the market today, would soon run the fossil fuel monopolies out of business.

It's clear that we're sorely lacking some vital information. Suppressed Inventions and Other Discoveries is a boldâand necessaryâeffort to help us educate ourselves. Our future depends on it.

==================

About the Author:

Austin App, a German-American scholar, was a major revisionist author and publicist.

Austin Joseph App was born on May 24, 1902, in Wisconsin. His father had immigrated to the United States from Wuerttemberg, and his mother had come from Bavaria. Until he began attending first grade at his home townâs bi-lingual Catholic elementary school, he spoke German at home. He spent most of his youth on the family farm near Milwaukee. As a boy he was a voracious reader.

After attending local public and parochial schools, he entered St. Francis seminary near Milwaukee, where he received a liberal classical education. For a time he studied for the priesthood, but decided that he did not have a clerical vocation.

After obtaining a B.A. degree in 1923, he went on to graduate studies at Catholic University in Washington, D.C., where he earned Masterâs and Ph.D. degrees in English literature. His 1929 doctoral dissertation, Lancelot in English Literature: His Role and Character, was published to critical acclaim.

From 1933 through 1968 he was an instructor or professor of English at various American institutions of higher education. At the University of Scranton in 1939 he was awarded the schoolâs Faculty Gold Medal as an âoutstanding educator of men.â In 1948 he accepted a professorship at La Salle College in Philadelphia, where he remained until his retirement in 1968.

During World War II he served briefly in the US Army.

He was first politically active in 1917, when, together with school colleagues, he collected signatures on petitions against US entry in World War I. He similarly opposed US entry in World War II.

In the aftermath of World War II, he began a âsecond careerâ as a prolific publicist, bringing to public attention suppressed facts about the brutal oppression, dispossession and expulsion of millions of ethnic Germans from their ancient homelands in central and eastern Europe. His first writing in this spirit, a ten-page pamphlet entitled Ravishing the Woman of Conquered Europe, which was quickly followed by The Big Three Deportation Crime, and Slave-Laboring German Prisoners of War. These tracts proved immediately popular. Before long, tens of tens of thousands of copies were in print in English, with editions in four other languages.

Predictably App was viciously smeared by the Zionist Anti-Defamation League and media figures such as Walter Winchell and Drew Pearson.

Throughout his life, he was a devout Roman Catholic and fervently anti-Communist.

He served as national chairman of the Federation of Americans of German Descent, 1960-1966, and thereafter was its permanent national honorary chairman.

App was the author of more than a thousand articles, columns and book reviews, which appeared in a wide range of American and European periodicals, as well as of eight books, including Historyâs most Terrifying Peace; Courtesy, Courtship and Marriage; The True Concept of Literature; Making Good Talk: How to Improve Your Conversation; Ways to Creative Writing; The Sudeten-German Tragedy; and an autobiography, subtitled German-American Voice for Truth and Justice.

A collection of his essays and pamphlets from 1946 to 1978 was published in 1987 by the Institute for Historical Review under the title No Time for Silence.

In Germany he addressed large rallies of German expellees, and meetings of the German Peoples Union (DVU). In 1975 he was honored with the European Freedom Prize of the DVU and its weekly paper, the National-Zeitung.

He addressed the first IHR Conference in 1979, and the text of his presentation was published in the first issue of the Instituteâs Journal of Historical Review.

Austin App was a man of rare courage, principle and decency.

He never married. âThe worst thing about trying to be a writer,â he once wrote, âis that one is always harried for time. It presses one to sacrifice everything, however pleasurable, which can no longer enrich oneâs knowledge or experience⦠Though I could well wish to be married, I have never been able to adjust myself gracefully to the time-killing exigencies of courtship long enough to make it adequately reciprocal!â

He died on May 4, 1984. After his death, 73 boxes of his personal papers, business records and library items were archived with the American Heritage Institute at the University of Wyoming (Laramie).

A tribute to Dr. App appeared in the Winter 1984 issue of the IHR Journal.
