Recenzii

Mendis changes the way we look at our history, policy and trade.
[This book] provides valuable insights for the student of history and the modern political leader alike.seen through the eyes of the Founding Fathers and the Masonic Architect of the Universe [from the foreword].
A unique and insightful analysis of the power of freedom.
Carefully researched and perceptive book.
The founders built an architecture for diversity. This book posits in the most intriguing way the roots of that design.
[Mendis is] like Alexis de Tocqueville...
His eye-opening thesis [has] enormous relevance for today.
[He] has a clear and cogent message: America will succeed; it is embedded in our destiny.
Original and fascinating...
Mendis goes beyond Dan Brown's Lost Symbol to disclose the true story of the fictional narrative.
The US was destined and guided by a benevolent Providence to be a commercial rather than religious nation, a "philosophic empire" that would peacefully dominate the world, argues Mendis (George Mason Univ.). Its founding was rooted in the Freemason vision of a unitary God, the great architect of the universe. The Masonic origins of the nation's symbols and of the location and design of Washington, DC, are extensively documented here....It is a thorough exposition of this popularly held viewpoint.
A masterful analysis of the role of international trade.
A stunning exposition...with profound implications for remaking America's role in the world.
This book picks up where Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol left off, giving readers a consummate guide to America and its secret mission in the world. In his foreword to the book, Professor Stephen Joel Trachtenberg, president emeritus of the George Washington University, writes: "Unlike Dan Brown in The Lost Symbol, Patrick Mendis has a serious scholarly purpose . . . seen through the eyes of the Founding Fathers and the Masonic Architect of the Universe." The architectural design of our nation's capital triangle is symbolically connected to the Arcturus, Leo, and Spica stars around the Virgo constellation in the Washington, D.C., sky above. In astrology, Virgo is ruled by Mercury-the Roman god of commerce, innovation, and communication. With this knowledge, the Founding Fathers discreetly but firmly located America's "Special Providence" within the powerful notion of commerce.
