The Organizing Idea

 


The Organizing Idea:

A Return to Good and Evil


The Organizing Idea is the individual’s manual for thriving in the current mass psychosis, and a weapon against the post-totalitarian system. Simpson asserts that we live in a world that not only assumes, but attempts to enforce the idea that there is nothing other than 'this', which leads to societal dysfunction, rejection of personal responsibility, and a specific form of totalitarianism. He examines contradiction at both the societal and individual level to trace the current mass psychosis to its primary enabler. In doing so, he exposes the contradictory values, actions, and beliefs inherent in our systems, institutions, and norms.

“There is a sort of schizophrenia in our world today where “anything is possible” but at the same time “nothing matters” because all of ‘this’ came from nowhere, is not going anywhere, exists for no reason, and we know this beyond a shadow of a doubt...”

This book takes the reader on a journey through “A sea of contradictions”, explicates how we all came to be so contradictory, and challenges the most sacred philosophical and scientific axioms that we have. The journey includes a history of ‘this’ and ‘other than this’ and reflects on historical moments of thriving when these two ideas were in balance, and societal collapse when they were not. Ultimately, this book is a phenomenological account of Projection and a theory about how all of ‘this’ works. This book is not for the faint of heart, as Simpson’s approach is extremely combative and brutally insightful. However, for those who can endure it, this is a journey that will not soon be forgotten. It empowers the individual with a life philosophy that simply cannot be shut down.

Fair Winds of Death

 


Fair Winds of Death


Decades before NCIS became a television hit drama series, the real men and women of the Naval Investigative Service (NIS), both Navy and civilian personnel, solved case after case around the world without the help of personal computers, cell phones, DNA, or the Internet. They had to rely on dangerous street work, investigative skills, logic, experience, and information derived from informants to put the bad guys in the brig. And sometimes, plain old luck was the key factor.

In 1971, Lieutenant Commander Marcus Colt is the top internal affairs investigator for the NIS Washington D.C. headquarters. When the unusual cases come across the desks of the top Navy brass, this decorated officer is the one who gets handed the job. He is intelligent and driven to always succeed, but his somewhat short temper and touch of sarcasm can complicate things. For this latest case, his youthful looks and uncanny investigative skills are essential as he goes undercover as a junior enlisted man in Norfolk, Virginia. 

His mission is challenging: quickly find and stop the leaks of sensitive NIS information that have resulted in the murders of at least four confidential informants on the Norfolk Navy Base. To accomplish this difficult task, he has to build close relationships with all the personnel in the NIS unit, invade their privacy, and dig up all their secrets all while keeping his true identity and mission from them.

As the case takes unexpected twists and turns, loss of an old love, meeting a high-ranking officer’s daughter, avoiding assassins, and overcoming his own personal guilt from a previous Vietnam mission add complexity to the assignment. But both new and old friends and coworkers give Marcus the help he needs as he works to solve this case before time runs out and someone else dies.

Author Bio

Billy R. Wade, Jr. enlisted in the U.S. Navy Reserve in 1969. After being called to active duty, he graduated top of his class from both basic training at Naval Training Center (NTC) Orlando, Florida and Yeoman ‘A’ School at NTC Bainbridge, Maryland. 

After this training, he was assigned to the Naval Investigative Service Office in Norfolk, Virginia for nearly two years in the early 1970s. While there on active duty, he earned the Navy’s Pistol Marksmanship Ribbon with ribbon device ‘S’ after qualifying as a Sharpshooter with the standard sidearm at that time, the 1911 .45 ACP semi-automatic pistol. 

He left active service as a Petty Officer Third Class. While it was not required, Bill spent three additional years as a weekend reservist at his local Navy Reserve Center assisting with the clerical demands of the center, a Seabee unit, and a training course development unit.  

He holds degrees in Business Management and Computer Science, and studied marketing at the University of South Florida. Born in Roanoke, Virginia, he spent his teen years and much of his adult life in the Tampa Bay area of Florida before escaping to the mountains of West Virginia. 

While new to fiction writing, Bill has written several technical “how-to” articles that were published in hobby magazines. And he is nearly finished with the next adventure for his Fair Winds protagonist, Marcus Colt. He attributes his new love of fiction writing to surviving brain surgery a few years ago. As Bill phrases it, some of the connections in his brain have found “new and definitely different pathways.” 

In addition to writing, he owns and operates a hobby kit manufacturing business on his property in rural West Virginia. Bill helps the local volunteer animal shelter by fostering rescue animals with special needs. When not cutting firewood or shoveling snow, he spends his little free time staying proficient with his Colt 1911 .45 pistol to better assist with security at his church.

A Great Work

 



About the Book 
A Great Work is a story of faith, hope, and perseverance. It encourages all of us whose dreams and hopes seem to be gone to be of good cheer and keep believing that all things are working together for our good. As I look back at my life, I am reminded that there is no strength, perseverance, or hope without divine intervention, and therefore, it is important to know that faith will, at some point, be the only key that will unlock all the possibilities we need to finish a great work, see miracles, and renew our strength to keep moving forward. For those who are waiting on a miracle, this story will inspire you to rest in the depth of God’s promises to keep believing that your story does not have to end the same way it started, regardless of your current circumstances and the challenges you face. For the humble and weary, there is hope. For all the dreamers like me, God is able to do more than you can imagine, so believe in your vision, be at peace with yourself, and keep dreaming. Finally, for those who have lost everything, I want to remind you that the eleventh hour of the night is the darkest time of the day and yet it is the turning point for a new day. God knows, God sees, and God hears you, so cheer up, keep fighting the good work, and be confident that He who has begun a great work in you is faithful to finish it,

I Didn't Come Here To Tap Dance

 


( A Poetic Memoir)


Book Review:

I Didn't Come Here to Tap Dance

5.0 out of 5 stars This Collection is a Universe of Storied Truth-Telling

“I Didn’t Come Here to Tap Dance” is a self-portrait painted in poetry. And like a photomosaic, the larger picture derives the brilliance of its clarity from a carefully crafted tapestry of smaller images. Each one, a voyage to a world all its own. To experience, to explore, to savor. This collection is a universe of storied truth-telling about identity, freedom, war, religion, politics, music, and faith, starting in the Jim Crow South and ending at the Corona Virus question mark. Individually, these poems are blueprints for critical thinking in a world of hypocrisy and illusion. Paradigm shifting history lessons that provoke and connect the unaware to the unafraid. But together, they comprise a face so warm, a voice so strong, a sensation in my stomach so familiar, I recognize the messenger as my friend. In the lake of life, some choose to hurl heavy rocks with all their might, reveling in the size of a short-lived splash. Others aim and complain before skipping their turn, blaming the fear to let go on a frozen shoulder or limp wrist. But Ngoma Hill was born with a slingshot for a sidearm, and he’s been skipping stones for seventy-five years. Why would someone spend their life making waves? Because only the ripples reach the other shore.

Dandelions in Third Space

 


Dandelions in Third Space


Many immigrants experience the concept of third space, a culture and language unique to themselves within the intersection of past and present, of there and here. In Dandelions in Third Space, Edytta Wojnar describes her own experiences with this third space she created for herself after emigrating from Poland, which resulted in the loss of language and family. Within this collection of 70 poems, many explore acculturation, investigating what it means to be an immigrant, what it means to be a writer who has lost a language. Expanding the metaphorical concept of third space to marriage, Wojnar describes the continual translation and adoption that occurs between two people’s backgrounds and psychological traits. Wojnar doesn’t shy away from any topic, describing her experiences as an immigrant, a wife, and a mother with refreshing, sometimes brutal, honesty.

“My Mother’s Necklace”, Dandelions in Third Space 
“I left my home country & learned
a lie can be true—
life can be wasted
& there is a metaphor for every loss—
even language.”

Gabriella

 




To be human …

… does it require blood and bones?

Gabriella West is an android, but she’s special. She lives on her own, she can fall in love, and she even searches to find God.

But there’s a catch, no one, except for her creators and the government, are aware she is a machine.

As she searches for a pathway that leads her to become more human, she finds something interesting.

And the revelation blows her mind.

When she was created, a switch was implanted in her, and its purpose isn’t a good one.

Can she discover the trigger before she gets shut down?

Will she be able to become “human” and find love, or will she be forced to comply with her main objective...

and lose everything she treasures?

How thin is the line between human and machine?

'Gabrielle' seeks to do more than present a riveting science fiction story. It carefully explores the salient differences between humans and machines, trying to identify the boundary where they cross over. If an android can think and learn autonomously, would they be human? If it can feel affection and love, if it can enjoy everything that a regular human can, including sexual relationships, would that make it human? But animals can also display these traits. There must be more to being human. Is it the search for an understanding of God that is the differentiating factor? Or is it man's ability to lie, cheat, and kill that differentiates us? In a thrilling story of intrigue and scientific development, 'Gabrielle' questions the boundary between human and machine.

A hand-selected Artificial Intelligence Lab created Gabriella to push scientific boundaries by developing an advanced humanoid. However, even the lab director and its team of brilliant scientists and engineers have no idea that the military is funding the project to develop the latest weapon on terrorism. They have commissioned an android utterly indistinguishable from a human, tasked with penetrating the most dangerous terrorist cells. Even Gabrielle has no clue as to what her real mission is. In her quest to become human, she falls in love with a divorced pastor, Paul, and his six-year-old daughter, Alexi.

Gabriella is approached by a homeland security agent and coerced into infiltrating a terrorist cell on US soil. She must choose between putting aside her newfound morals, jeopardizing her relationship with pastor Paul and risking her very life. Either choice can make her lose everything she holds dear.

The Republic of Virginia

 


The Republic of Virginia:

Brothers and Battlelines of 1861


Tensions are running high in Virginia. On April 4th, 1861, the Virginia state legislature had voted not to secede from the union, but Fort Sumter was fired upon eight days later. This set in motion a chain of events that led to President Abraham Lincoln to not only call up thousands of volunteers but directly ask for three militia regiments from Virginia to join the army being raised in Washington. Virginia’s governor, John Letcher, felt that this was unconstitutional. When the legislature voted again on April 17th, the vote to secede carried, it has been two weeks since that vote, and now a delegation from the Confederate Congress has traveled to Richmond to negotiate the role Virginia will play in the upcoming conflict. Will she join the newly formed confederacy under President Jefferson Davis, or will she stand alone? Will she declare herself an independent republic just as Texas had done 25 years before? What if Virginia had declared herself a republic and stood independently in the face of the federal government?
