About Adolphus Writer
Adolphus Writer - (b. July 20, 1969) - His mother would have named him Tranquility Base, had he been born a girl. He escaped that fate, but was plagued by the nickname "Eagle" for most of his public school days. He attended several prestigious institutes of academic learning before the advent of the Internet and holds a doctorate in Theoretical Physics.
After he graduated, Adolphus travelled to Europe, the Middle East, and Far East when those names still meant something. He picked up knowledge, experience, and an inordinate number of colds and flus while abroad. He found people to be the same the world over: motivated by their self-interest, full of blind spots, and divided mainly into idealists and pragmatists.
After arriving back in the USA, he took a job in a large defense firm applying his creative and analytical skills to pressing problems to which his mother would have objected. He married Ninja Schreiber after she resigned her commission with the German Federal Defense forces and came to the United States to be with him.
During the economic downturn spanning the first and second decades of the twenty-first century, his job was eliminated and he was terminated. He established Mandated Memoranda Publishing, LLC, as a way to support the lifestyle to which he and his family had become accustomed. He says they like to eat on a daily basis and stay debt–free.

Blog postWe’ve taken our post, ‘Revolution Within the Form – Review and Commentary’ and disaggregated it. It was too long and tortuous as extracted from the source material, so we took it apart into more cohesive modules. However, as with all blog posts, these modules were posted in reverse order so that they would be in order when read later. This post links these posts for those who saw them issued in reverse order.

Blog postSeventy years ago, Garet Garrett, a journalist and novelist, maintained,
There are those who still think they are holding the pass against a revolution that may be coming up the road. But they are gazing in the wrong direction. The revolution is behind them. It went by in the Night of Depression, singing songs to freedom.

Blog postIn a Mises Institute condensation, titled, “The American Empire,” (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) from Garet Garrett’s book, The People’s Pottage, he wrote,
The extent to which the original precepts and intentions of constitutional, representative, limited government, in the republican form, have been eroded away by argument and dialectic is a separate subject, long and ominous, and belongs to a treatise on political science.

Blog postSummarized in a Mises Institute condensation, titled, “The American Empire,” (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) from Garet Garrett’s book, The People’s Pottage, we read,
If you may have Empire with or without a constitution, even within the form of a republican constitution, and if also you may have Empire with or without an emperor, then how may the true marks of Empire be distinguished with certainty? What are they?
Garrett lists six of these marks,

Blog postBefore the administrative state was named, it was called the bureau government. Garet Garrett defined it in his book, The People’s Pottage. From a Mises Institute condensation, titled, “The American Empire,” (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0), we read,
What Empire needs above all in government is an executive power that can make immediate decisions, such as a decision in the middle of the night by the President to declare war on the aggressor…

Blog postGaret Garrett defined the American empire in his book, The People’s Pottage, seventy years ago. From a Mises Institute condensation, titled, “The American Empire,” (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0), Garrett says,
Do not ask whether or not it is possible [to alter our course]. Ask yourself this: if it were possible, what would it take? How could the people restore the Republic if they would? Or, before that, how could they recover their Constitutional sovereign right to choose4 weeks ago Read more -
Blog postI’ve been reading several commentaries on the Book of Revelation. Many people think it’s a coded message describing world history in detail. But Sweet’s commentary says it’s a broad picture of the Creator God’s plan to save people from the penalty of their sins, destroy evil, and recreate His paradise in which He will dwell with mankind forever.
Revelation, Sweet says, describes the cyclical rise and fall of empires and the beastly nature of those emperors. He uses those emperors (e.g4 weeks ago Read more -
Blog postRichard Bauckham’s book, The Theology of the Book of Revelation, presents a different interpretation of the book of Revelation. From the Amazon sales page,
The Book of Revelation is a work of profound theology. But its literary form makes it impenetrable to many modern readers and open to all kinds of misinterpretations. Richard Bauckham explains how the book’s imagery conveyed meaning in its original context and how the book’s theology is inseparable from its literary structure and c2 months ago Read more -
Blog postGaret Garrett wrote several essays and books on “the New Deal planning state and the regimentation of national life it brought about.” In a Mises Institute condensation, titled, “The American Empire,” (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0), from his book, The People’s Pottage, he quotes Aristotle’s Politics,
People do not easily change but love their own ancient customs; and it is by small degrees only that one thing takes the place of another; so that the ancient laws will remain, while the power will be3 months ago Read more -
Blog postIn his book, The Antichrist, 1922-3, A. W. Pink expressed his views of this Man of Lawlessness. At this time Pink held what he described as Historicist and Futurist perspectives on end times. He later moderated his futurist views. However, in The Antichrist, he illumines an idea that transcends these perspectives.
Pink expounds on this passage of scripture,
…They are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he does come, he must4 months ago Read more
Titles By Adolphus Writer
We no longer believe in ghosts, do we? I thought not. But we invest our time and attention in the promise of virtual reality for entertainment and, as some might wish it, our evolutionary destiny. Of course, this is only the latest manifestation of our desire to create our own heaven, on our own terms, here on earth.
A Digital Carol is Dickens’s A Christmas Carol retold with new forms and modern perspectives. No longer do we read a tale of a mean miser who, through sorrowful experiences, becomes kindly. We now face a monstrous egotist who teeters between damnation and redemption.
This speculative fiction story’s goal is not to inspire a more joyous holiday or a more generous spirit, but to question the very premise of our existence. Are we too far into the dark night of the soul for anything but drastic measures?
In the stories, you'll meet a serial killer, alien snails, a petulant eleven-year-old, a beloved astronaut, a laid-off worker, and many others. Two poems provide a transition from fiction to opinion. The short essays castigate, decry, praise, and skewer our personal, local, national, world, and cosmic conditions.
These writings are meant to engage readers in a reality that we all deny daily, whether we profess faith in Christ, are ambivalent, or are hostilely opposed to religion.
What if this world we live in is set up as a diabolical trap meant to prevent us from seeing that which is truly necessary? The anthology focuses on themes, situations, and emotions that are tragic, full of wonder, or, combined in some way, both.
We hope you'll suspend your disbelief and consider the possibility that there is a way out of the trap in which we find ourselves. And that way doesn't involve choosing between two different color pills.
