    There is nothing greater than writing & creating something from nothing. It's the closest thing to the divine! The ability to create worlds and personalities, to describe something so powerfully it can make the reader laugh with joy, shiver in fear or cry in sorrow and empathy and to then breathe into them the breath of literary life is a gift from God; a process that starts in human imagination and comes to life on the printed page. It is the thing that separates us from the rest of creation! It is exactly what God did when He stepped into nothing and created something that lives and breathes!

    I have written the genre of stories expressed in my books because I want to say something about my current society and to perhaps warn us of the things that could threatened the life we now have. I consider my books to be hard-hitting love stories that may frighten the reader, but which lead to a conclusion of hope and safety. Since i have traveled widely around the world, I think I can give a fair comparison of the life we share on this part of the small globe we call home. I also know how easy it would be to see it all blown away into the sands of time. So, the stories that flood my mind are to help us stop, perceive, reflect and perhaps alter our actions and cause us to look at where we are, where we have been and determine, perhaps with more clarity, where we are going.

    I have lived in many cultures and that has given me a love for the differences amongst us. I am a student of American culture and write about the changes in our society. Yet, every place I have been and in everyone I have met there has always been that same driving force; the desire to leave those who follow us something that says we were here! This is an intrinsic passion for every writer, ultimately.

    Some of us have or will become well known while we still write. Many of us will not be discovered until well after we have graduated to a higher calling. Yet, all of us want to leave behind a written account, a treatise of sorts, of what we value, how we think and what we believe. That is our legacy so that many after us may gain a perspective on our hopes and dreams and fears, in the day in which we live. That is why I write and that is what drives me and that is my passion! I bet you can relate!

    Steven's books are about issues that will make you think and reevaluate the things you've never questioned before. Steven's three novels are listed here and there are excepts from each of his novels. You will also find articles he has written as an expert status writer for ezine.com.

  • Welcome to the Dictocracy

    There are two ways to enslave a people. People do not give up their Freedom. They naturally take it for granted. The search for Freedom has always been the driving force that has risen bowed and beaten men up from the ashes and transformed them into warriors of their people. It is the final understanding that no man makes me free, but the realization that I am altogether and utterly free, such liberty having been breathed into the nostrils of the first man and woman.


    I recently asked my students where they get their freedom, in their homelands. They all inevitably answered that it was their countries and their governments which gave them Rights. I only slightly hes
    itated and that no nation granted them freedom, for it was a gift of God, instilled in the very genome of humanity. Since freedom is not granted by any government, people naturally forget that Power and Freedom are in always in conflict. Freedom either slinks away like a vapor, never aware that it was almost gone, until it is no more.


    Freedom can only be snatched away from a people too dependent to stand alone, too afraid to take a risk, told that they are in an emergency and made to believe that only The One can fix it. This sorry and destructive role can only lead to the collapsing of the United States of America, much Rome, as the Republic and the Senate, slinked away into relative irrelevance. There will always be a nation here, the power brokers shall never divvy up such a great power as this nation possesses. But it shall cease to be the nation once founded on virtue, self-reliance, free thought and the expressions of those ideals.


    Such a nation that has persuaded its people to hide under the great suffocating tunic of governmental deceit shall be ultimately and utterly cast out into a scorching realization that the world they had undervalued, expected, abused, was now one in which they, as the average man and woman, possessed nothing but utility and servile thoughts of every word before it is uttered. After America spent the past two decades seeking to move away from an all inclusive government, we are about to embark on a quest, The Second Republic; headlong into a Dictocracy.


    I would be the last one to try to diminish all that Television and the Internet have given to the world, for good. I do believe the good outweighs the bad. Nevertheless, such wonderful sources of information and entertainment have given us an auberge where we can hide from the real world and cease to worry, or to be responsible to the place where we truly dwell. No, This lethargic people, this land of good and fickle masses has been awakened to see that all they worked for, all that they had achieved, the very source of survival into their years has been seized by those who were greedy and shameless.


    Then, enters Congress, this group of thugs, those who not only think we are stupid, but are sure of it. They cannot be accused of so much under-the-table maneuvering, for they steal us blind, right under our noses. Now that Congress and the White House have made this weakened people see a future, for which the government, itself, is a co-conspirator, it is obvious the American people are Impoverished to such an extent that they feel the all consuming need to depend on the Government for every need. America has believed a lie.


    How will those of us live in a world where, as he proposed, Obama will regulate the coordination of the development of life-saving drugs, supposedly to eliminate overlap of research for those studies that the Federal government funds. This is code language for the Quality of Life trumpeters who want to decide when a person should live or die. Every evil leader enslaved a people, and he accomplished it by taking away the people’s base of support and removing their source of survival, rendering a brave and powerful people at the mercy of a beast in Washington. So, are you surprised that our leaders do exactly what they know will not work?


    In Holland, Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders posted the video of Fitna, which he had produced to expose the violent nature of Islam and the threat it poses to the West. Soon afterwards, the BBC and other news outlets reported that a Dutch court has ordered Wilders to be prosecuted for making the film. The Dutch court stated, “The Amsterdam appeals court has ordered the prosecution of member of parliament Geert Wilders for inciting hatred and discrimination, based on comments by him in various media on Muslims and their beliefs,” The court went on to say, “The court also considers appropriate criminal prosecution for insulting Muslim worshippers because of comparisons between Islam and Nazism made by Wilders,” The court also stated that, “In a democratic system, hate speech is considered so serious that it is in the general interest to… draw a clear line.” I am sure you are saying, “Thank God I live in America where it isn’t (yet) a crime to insult someone.”


    Consider this; the laws on which the court charged the Dutch conservative political leader were not Dutch laws at all, but were anti-hate crimes written and enforced by the World Court of the United Nations. Europe adheres to such laws, though America has never honored them, at least until now. All conservative forces expect Barack Obama to write new hate-crime rules and laws into authority by Executive decree or through the Democratically-controlled Congress. In Fact, he does not even need to endure either of those maneuvers. He can simply decide that it is the position on the United States of America that our country shall give respect to World Court and adhere to its rulings, and it is sure that he will do so, all wrapped up in the mantle of protecting freedom and unity of the world for peace.

    Five minutes after Obama took the reins of power, the official White House website took on an Orwellian slant by stating the Obama Administration intended to institute hate-crime legislation that would make it a crime to criticize gays by merely stating our opposition to the idea of same-gender relationships. Here are some excerpts of Obama’s agenda as described openly on the White House website:


    "While we have come a long way since the Stonewall riots in 1969, we still have a lot of work to do. Too often, the issue of LGBT (lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community) rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans. It's about whether this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect."
    -- Barack Obama, June 1, 2007
    • Expand Hate Crimes Statutes: In 2004, crimes against LGBT Americans constituted the third-highest category of hate crime reported and made up more than 15 percent of such crimes. President Obama cosponsored legislation that would expand federal jurisdiction to include violent hate crimes perpetrated because of race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, or physical disability. As a state senator, President Obama passed tough legislation that made hate crimes and conspiracy to commit them against the law.

    • Fight Workplace Discrimination: President Obama supports the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, and believes that our anti-discrimination employment laws should be expanded to include sexual orientation and gender identity. While an increasing number of employers have extended benefits to their employees' domestic partners, discrimination based on sexual orientation in the workplace occurs with no federal legal remedy. The President also sponsored legislation in the Illinois State Senate that would ban employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

    • Support Full Civil Unions and Federal Rights for LGBT Couples: President Obama supports full civil unions that give same-sex couples legal rights and privileges equal to those of married couples. Obama also believes we need to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and enact legislation that would ensure that the 1,100+ federal legal rights and benefits currently provided on the basis of marital status are extended to same-sex couples in civil unions and other legally-recognized unions. These rights and benefits include the right to assist a loved one in times of emergency, the right to equal health insurance and other employment benefits, and property rights.

    • Oppose a Constitutional Ban on Same-Sex Marriage: President Obama voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment in 2006 which would have defined marriage as between a man and a woman and prevented judicial extension of marriage-like rights to same-sex or other unmarried couples.

    • Repeal Don't Ask-Don't Tell: President Obama agrees with former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff John Shalikashvili and other military experts that we need to repeal the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. The key test for military service should be patriotism, a sense of duty, and a willingness to serve. Discrimination should be prohibited. The U.S. government has spent millions of dollars replacing troops kicked out of the military because of their sexual orientation. Additionally, more than 300 language experts have been fired under this policy, including more than 50 who are fluent in Arabic. The President will work with military leaders to repeal the current policy and ensure it helps accomplish our national defense goals.

    • Expand Adoption Rights: President Obama believes that we must ensure adoption rights for all couples and individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation. He thinks that a child will benefit from a healthy and loving home, whether the parents are gay or not.


    I for one will not let such lethal doses of totalitarian rule stop my voice, for it would take a gun or a knife to do so. I would lay down my life for a lesbian, a gay, or any man or woman at all, if I found them in danger. Where do you stand? It will be this government, now at the helm of the world, which will seek to make us all afraid to speak by passing laws that bind their words to one pattern of thought. This constitutes a dictatorship wrapped up in democratic virtue. America Has Believed A Lie!

    So, there are two ways to enslave a people, Impoverish them to such an extent that they depend on the Government for every need and make them afraid to speak by passing laws that bind their tongues to one pattern of thought, at first ridiculing those who think outside the “Norm” and then imposing the government’s will in case that will certainly be challenged but never undermined. This constitutes a dictatorship wrapped up in democratic virtue. America Has Believed A Lie!

    Recently, Senator Chuck Schumer of New York nonchalantly declared “The American People Don't Care” about Pork Projects in the Stimulus Bill:


    Senator Schumer, you are right, the American People don’t mind the Pork in the Stimulus because Congress and the White House are the American People now, and we are your slaves. So my fellow bleating lambs,

    Welcome to the Dictocracy...

  • Author Steven Clark Bradley Talks About Patriot Acts


    Patriot Acts by Steven Clark Bradley

    I worked a number of years in various countries in Europe, Asia, and Africa. I have had the privilege of living a unique life and have been to 34 countries over a period of 16 years. Having worked extensively with Kurdish refugees from Turkey, Iraq, and Syria, I have first-hand knowledge of the hatred and the anger that many Middle-Eastern nations have toward America, as well as the culture and attitudes. So, I have had the opportunity to explain what is leading this nation to possible destruction without real and concerted efforts to preserve our way of life. I am grateful for the experience I have gained through the many amazing opportunities I have had around the world. I know that where much is given, much will be expected. So, I have an inner responsibility to use my knowledge and experience to wake up those who don’t feel the danger

    The Inspiration For Patriot Acts

     

    I know there are very good arguments against the war in Iraq, some of which I agree with. Yet, there has always been one driving view that has kept me supporting that effort; the need to make sure that terrorism is defeated and to take our war to the terrorists rather than again letting them come here. Patriot Acts is a story that supports the idea of what political and national lethargy will wrought in this nation.

    In Patriot Acts, America finds itself under covert nuclear attack from a unified force of the Islamic Republic of Iran and radical American Militia groups; setting aside their political and religious differences to carry out the widest and deadliest attack on America in the nation's history. In the midst of an unsure, newly inaugurated presidency, the attack is discovered and the new President must forgo the honeymoon and take grave and massive actions to spare the nation

    I want my writing to be a gauge of where we are in light of where we were, historically, which sheds light on where we will be, depending on our response to the threats we face. No one and no nation is in a vacuum. America is changing and it is important to remind people of what this nation was founded to be and to make them remember the values on which we were founded. I think I accomplished that well in my third novel, Nimrod Rising and I think Patriot Acts takes a giant step at revealing what years of inaction and pretending that all is fine will ultimately do to threaten America’s future. So, I feel that I want to entertain, but most of all, I want to stimulate Americans to once again take our freedom seriously and to no longer take it for granted.


    I got a really good head start on Patriot Acts. Early last year, even before Patriot Acts was signed by a publisher, I began to publish excerpts and to make sure readers got a taste of this powerful story. I also prepared video trailers and posted them early to give a visual image of the story, from several different perspectives. I also began to post my material on several different blogs, but made sure I created a blog specifically for Patriot Acts itself, which is called Steven Clark Bradley's Patriot Acts. A writer today cannot expect anyone to do the hard work for them. They also cannot become discouraged by the lack of obvious signs of reader interest. I have found that there are always more people reading our work than we can easily know. So, all the ground work on Patriot Acts has already been done. Now, I can recycle and add new material to drive home to readers that there is a new book out there that is different and very close to reality, perhaps too close for comfort.


    Patriot Acts Is Definitely a Story that Reads You!

    All of my books contain so much from my experiences and my moral and social world view. The first three chapters of Patriot Acts, though fiction, reflect actual experiences I lived through, which I have used to paint the picture of a nation at grave risk. I think a good writer must get the drive, the plot, the atmosphere of their stories from things they have either studied or lived. So, I would say that the first three chapters represent my actual travels and actions, but my moral and political values are captured throughout the book.

    Patriot Acts - Last Ounce of Devotion

    Northern Indiana - 2009

    Toto, Indiana was no ordinary almost-village. It had some great little stores that sold just about anything. It had countryside, farmland, an abundance of wild reefer, a large contingent of KKK want-a-be’s and the largest concentration of militia groups in the nation. These were not just a bunch of bed and breakfast warriors, but good husbands. They were involved daddies and mommies, devoted believers…at least on Sundays. There were serious and lower-scale business men ready to fight for each other as one with those they employed. All of them were unswervingly ready to give their last ounce of devotion to create a world where freedom was shouted loudly while bigotry reigned king.

    The larger towns and small cities around the Podunk spot of Earth that was Toto, Indiana were the fastest growing small cities of the state. Knox, Indiana was the County Seat and had progressed from the “Bloody Bucket Bar” to the “Court House View Tap”. No one was being thrown out of the windows anymore, but the same crazies still drank their fill but were too old to carouse any longer like they used to. The almost town place, North Judson still had a sense of the rustic and, like Knox, was a fundamentally good place to bring up the next generation of defenders of the Constitution, at least that was how they mostly viewed it along Toto Road, the one road that entirely spanned the county. Staying on Toto Road was like a place of refuge. One could traverse the county, into the depth of this country enclave and still feel secure inside their car.

    Thoughts of turning left or right off of Toto Road could only be carried out safely by those born in Starke County. Strangers are not too well digested in the land of a thousand armies. The folks around Toto, Indiana did not like them strangers coming in there and looking all over their Jeeps, gawking at their arsenals all set up for the day that the United States Government would most certainly tear up the Constitution and cast it to the wind. The globalists elected to the offices of the land, down from the most menial, elected position in the nation and up to the most powerful office in the world, would most certainly need to be overcome by the people’s sheer willingness to keep what they had yearned and striven for. Almost every car was known that drove up in there. Today was no different in road traffic than any other, except for the special passenger that the old Ford Escort was carrying, as it turned off Indiana Highway 35 North and onto Toto Road heading due west.

    ~~~


    Len Garret sat with his feet up on his coffee table and thought about all he had lived through that had brought his to the point of departure that was at hand. He had some visitors who’d be arriving shortly. For the moment though, Garret held a bottle of Tequila in his hand and stared straight up at the portrait of his father that was hung prominently over the Fireplace. Garret had commissioned the painting himself, as a tribute the man who had both beaten him on a regular basis and who had instilled in him a stiff determination to never give into the internationalists, globalists, traitors, fags, or any other lowlife epitaph that he could recall hearing his father use for those who ran the country.

    Though Len Garret’s father was a feared and respected memory, that painting over the fireplace served more as a constant reminder that he had unfinished business to conduct than as an act of true feeling for the old man about whom even Len Garret himself had wondered a few times if his father Russell Garret had gone mad.

    “Even so, if Dad was crazy then guess the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.”Len Garret thought as his eyes grew heavy. His father’s greatest wish would be realized, starting today…everything would start today.

    ~~~


    The old Ford Escort was heading west on Toto Road. For the driver, driving this patch of asphalt was an everyday occurrence. For the dark-faced passengers in the back seat, they had sworn that such a wild and overgrown area would certain spell some kind of mischief against them. Weren’t all these retched people along this backwater place Christians? That point, alone made this journey one that made these guests shaky and worried. Yet, it was about something that would make the world change forever and well worth the risk. The Escort drove into the miniopolis of Toto and turned left onto County Line Road. There was no turning back. It was like a little bit of Vegas in Hicksville, USA.

    ~~~


    Len Garret’s fingers felt the skin covering his own visage as he looked at his father’s face. He started staring at the painting profoundly, so deeply, just like a thousand other times, and his eyes flickered, closed, then opened and the remained shut and a world that had long disappeared took on a shape and life, and he saw it all afresh. It was a day he recalled easily, because it had caused him to grow into the man he was today, having had his childhood cut short. He saw that boy again. He had seen him too often after having had his order to his brain to stay awake disobeyed. Each time he ventured into the recesses of his slumbering mind it was like opening the wounds that had closed up outwardly, but still raw and hemorrhaging on the inside.

    He saw the boy, in his reverie, seated in the huge hall reading the document that his father had so loved while glancing around at the armed men and women stationed about him. His father had given his last ounce of devotion when the country he had almost given his life for ultimately took it away along with his daughter and wife. In the service of his country and while seeking the protection of his people, which was the goal and stated purpose of the sacred parchment anyway, and which he had believed until realizing that it was really nothing more than a not-so-hidden or secretive organization. But then, politicians did specialize in perception, and he had fallen prey to their tactics, though not necessarily of his own will.

    He knew he was young, just Seventeen years old seated there in the grand hall waiting for something, a ruling, a judgment. He was not exactly a child, but except in such cases as this boy, most children his age still never thought about such things. He only knew that his moment had come too early. He wanted to kill them all one minute and run home and play his half-life video game, the next. His mind now knew that his day of games was over. He knew he would see his death, and now forcefully knew that childhood was not a never-ending run and that he was a child no more, for he knew he would die. . .
