America, beginning as a small group of devout Puritan settlers, ultimately became the richest, most powerful Empire in the history of the world, but having reached that point, is now in a process of implosion and decay. This book, inspired by Frankfurt School Critical Theory, especially Erich Fromm, offers a unique historical, cultural and characterological analysis of American national character and its underlying psychodynamics. Specifically, this analysis looks at the persistence of Puritan religion, as well as the extolling of male toughness and America's unbridled pursuit of wealth. Finally, its self image of divinely blessed exceptionalism has fostered vast costs in lives and wealth. But these qualities of its national character are now fostering both a decline of its power and a transformation of its underlying social character. This suggests that the result will be a changing social character that enables a more democratic, tolerant and inclusive society, one that will enable socialism, genuine, participatory democracy and a humanist framework of meaning. This book is relevant to understanding America’s past, present and future.

After leaving the side of Minister Louis Farrakhan in the Nation of Islam, Jerry reached the turning point in his life as he searched for God, realizing that the success of gold/platinum albums and relationships was only a shadow of what he was really searching for.

If this book of mine will shake you and bring you to tears on the atrocities done to other humans based on Race, Faith, and Military then my objective of writing this book is successful. The humanity is one and it must acknowledge the horrors of the past. Unless we acknowledge the atrocities perpetuated on natives all over the world, we will not become a united Humankind. We have to search our souls, and analyze our actions to remove the 'bad' karma of our ancestors. Papal Bulls have wreaked havoc on all the natives of the world. Cultures, traditions, beliefs and environment friendly practices have all been destroyed by Faith Based Colonialists. 'Critical Faith Theory'. was used to call others as 'Pagan', 'Heathen', 'Infidel', 'Kafir', 'Kufr' and 'Savages'. 'Critical Faith Theory' is a new term that I have used which means that someone's faith was better than others, to colonize the natives. Gold, Glory & God was the main objective of all Faith Based Colonialists, which has killed millions of natives across the world. This book of mine will educate you and empower you to question the colonial mindset.

Prior to 1864, the vast lands north of the Gila River in Arizona County, New Mexico Territory, were known only as Tierra Incognita, unknown lands, inhabited by the fierce Tonto Apache and Yavapai people. Gold remained a rumor there until 1863 when two mountain men, each leading separate expeditions, discovered it. One year later, President Abraham Lincoln declared Arizona a territory. Immediately the stampede for gold was underway, creating the inevitable conflict with the Native population. The Indians held the upper hand until the arrival of General George Crook in 1872. Following on the heels of the prospectors, soldiers and government officials were the pioneers, entrepreneurs, outlaws, lawmen and ladies of the night. Each contributed a thread to the vibrant tapestry woven into the territorial history of this fascinating era. "Gold, Greed and Glory" looks deeply into many of their lives, gives them flesh and blood, and carries the reader along on their exploits and glorious adventures.
