During World War II, Port Chicago was a segregated naval munitions base on the outer shores of San Francisco Bay. On July 17, 1944, an explosion rocked the base, killing 320 men — 202 of whom were Black ammunition loaders. In the ensuing weeks, White officers were given leave time and commended for heroic efforts, whereas 328 of the surviving Black enlistees were sent to load ammunition on another ship. When they refused, 50 men were singled out and charged — and convicted — of mutiny. It was the largest mutiny trial in US naval history.

For centuries, Christians have inadvertently been wallowing in the muck and mire of "race theory" and its language. It's time to start speaking of humanity in biblical terms as God intended. The Kingdom of God does not refer to mankind in the words and phrases of misguided scientists. We remain divided as a culture while the Church has the very answer for ethnic reconciliation. The Fallacy of Race seeks to inspire the listener to reflect the heart and mind of God in our culture, bringing healing and unity to our land.

It's the 22nd century. Humanity has taken its first steps into the galaxy, and we've found ourselves in a vast playground of alien races, environments, and cultures. As the newest players on the universal stage, though, our position is readily apparent - we're at the bottom of the food chain.

What starts as a low-key, fun outing turns into something much more demanding when crime elements surface at the Blazers basketball arena. New crime adversaries from Seattle are after expanding their influence in the Northwest and have selected Portland as their target.

People will cooperate or be forced to watch a savage animal attack on the basketball court floor on two captives failing to deliver the ransoms.  

People have their own bents and that includes Tony Capone and Roger from Nebraska. After what Tony did earlier in attempting to take down Blue Knight, one would think he would go away quietly - that he would unhappily accept the inevitability of his sentencing for attempted murder and subsequent incarceration. However, as Roger/Blue Knight discovers, that is not Tony's way. 

Blue Knight's confidence was building. He proved himself against major adversaries The Artiste and Ivan in Chicago and Kadar in New York City. There were some bumps along the way but they added to what the new superhero needed to know. Interference with activities of the petty crime elements was easy. However, there was an additional lesson, one not anticipated. Further, the related experience took place at a most unexpected time and location ... during a vacation in paradise ... Hawaii! Roger/Blue knight had no one to blame but himself for what happened. He caused the incident. The source of his vulnerability was his lack of realization that the very powers that rendered Blue Knight a superhero could trigger dangerous unforeseen situations. It was an important and necessary experience, but it greatly altered his time on the Big Island. Most important was how the matter was handled and in the end, its resolution. Roger/Blue Knight never turned away from a challenge and he behaved no differently during his sojourn to an island known for its tropical splendor and ... LAVA! 

The importance of Blue Knight's secret alternate identity relationship to Roger was clear. While Blue Knight\Roger never forgot this, they did not dwell on it. The connection had not been a problem and they had much else to occupy them. Furthermore, Blue Knight was fully protected by his plastinium armor, and they had been successful in hiding any link to Roger. Any effort to discover an alternate identity for Blue Knight would require careful study and significant guesswork. In the end, there could be no definite conclusion to justify an action. That might be viewed differently depending on the potential rewards. Tony Paisano was eager to restore the glory days of Al Capone in Chicago. He was convinced of the calling because he believed he was a descendant in the lineage of Capone. Tony was committed to the drastic actions that would be necessary. It was a course certain to present a confrontation with Blue Knight. Tony made every effort to be ready ... even to the extent of finding a way to bring the knight down.
