The author of the controversial bestseller "Brain Trust" brings his
scientific expertise to the chilling true story of unexplained
phenomena on Utah's Skinwalker Ranch -- and challenges us with a
new vision of reality.
For more than fifty years, the bizarre events at a remote Utah
ranch have ranged from the perplexing to the wholly terrifying.
Vanishing and mutilated cattle. Unidentified Flying Objects. The
appearance of huge, otherworldly creatures. Invisible objects
emitting magnetic fields with the power to spark a cattle stampede.
Flying orbs of light with dazzling maneuverability and lethal
consequences. For one family, life on the Skinwalker Ranch had
become a life under siege by an unknown enemy or enemies. Nothing
else could explain the horrors that surrounded them -- perhaps
science could.
Leading a first-class team of research scientists on a disturbing
odyssey into the unknown, Colm Kelleher spent hundreds of days and
nights on the Skinwalker property and experienced firsthand many of
its haunting mysteries. With investigative reporter George Knapp --
the only journalist allowed to witness and document the team's work
-- Kelleher chronicles in superb detail the spectacular happenings
the team observed personally, and the theories of modern physics
behind the phenomena. Far from the coldly detached findings one
might expect, their conclusions are utterly hair-raising in their
implications. Opening a door to the unseen world around us, "Hunt
for the Skinwalker" is a clarion call to expand our vision far
beyond what we know.
This book is a contribution to contemporary debates on social
research with a unique focus on the relationship between methods
and the crafting of knowledge. Nine experienced researchers from
different disciplines have come together to explore what really
matters to them in the process of doing qualitative research.
Rockefellerocracy: Kennedy Assassinations, Watergate, and Monopoly
of the "Philanthropic" Foundations is a portal to a universe of
political and economic supremacy, revealing links to the crimes of
the century. Kennedy had a dream for the nation, but Nelson
Rockefeller, a ruthless megalomaniac, had his own selfish scheme to
become president. After a ten-year-long course of wrongdoing to
steal American democracy, his nomination to the vice presidency by
President Gerald Ford was not the hand of fate. Congressman Ford
had served as an integral part of the Warren Commission whitewash.
The two men formed the first administration not elected by the
people This release coincides with the fiftieth anniversary of the
JFK assassination, that infamous weekend in November of 1963 that
author Richard James DeSocio remembers well. He even witnessed Jack
Ruby execute Lee Harvey Oswald in front of a live TV audience.
Originally searching for answers to satisfy his own curiosity, that
led to twenty-five years of painstaking research, the author has
unraveled the dark mystery that baffled a nation for half a
century. The verdict is radically different from the official
version.
The Pahlavi Widewdad (Videvdad), The Law (Serving to Keep) Demons
Away, a fifth-century Middle Persian commentary on the Avestan
Videvdad, describes rules and regulations that serve to prevent
pollution caused by dead matter, menstrual discharges, and other
agents. It recognizes the perpetual presence of the demons, the
forces of the Evil Spirit -forces that should be fought through
law-abiding conduct. In spite of its formidable textual problems,
the commentary provides an invaluable quarry for the rules of the
Zoroastrian community through its citation of regulations for the
conduct of its members. Many topics are covered, from jurisprudence
to penalties, procedures for dealing with pollution, purification,
and arrangements for funerals. Viewed together, they provide the
reader with an exquisite interlace of a community's concerns.
Named a Best Book of 2018 by the Financial Times and Fortune, this New
York Times-bestseller exposes how a 'modern Gatsby' swindled over $5
billion with the aid of Goldman Sachs in 'the heist of the century'.
Now a #1 international bestseller, Billion Dollar Whale is 'an epic
tale of white-collar crime on a global scale' (Publishers Weekly,
starred review), revealing how a young social climber from Malaysia
pulled off one of the biggest heists in history.
In 2009, a chubby, mild-mannered graduate of the University of
Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business named Jho Low set in motion a
fraud of unprecedented gall and magnitude -- one that would come to
symbolise the next great threat to the global financial system. Over a
decade, Low, with the aid of Goldman Sachs and others, siphoned
billions of dollars from an investment fund -- right under the nose of
global financial industry watchdogs. Low used the money to finance
elections, purchase luxury real estate, throw champagne-drenched
parties, and even to finance Hollywood films like The Wolf of Wall
Street.
By early 2019, with his yacht and private jet reportedly seized by
authorities and facing criminal charges in Malaysia and in the United
States, Low had become an international fugitive, even as the US
Department of Justice continued its investigation.
Billion Dollar Whale has joined the ranks of Liar's Poker, Den of
Thieves, and Bad Blood as a classic harrowing parable of hubris and
greed in the financial world.
Shocking new insider information that shows what really happened in
Wuhan, China, at the start of the COVID-19 outbreak and in the
ensuing cover-up. The day that Dr. Andrew G. Huff left his senior
scientist and vice president role at EcoHealth Alliance was one of
the happiest days of his life due to the corruption he had
witnessed at the organization. However, he never thought working
there would be of any great consequence to the future. He was
wrong. Because, as an EcoHealth Alliance insider, Dr. Huff had had
a ringside seat to one of the biggest cover-ups in history. The
Truth about Wuhan contains new research and a breakdown of how and
why the development of COVID-19 in the United States and China was
supported by the US government to collect intelligence on
laboratories in China. Dr. Huff, an expert in the fields of
bioterrorism and bio warfare, is a whistleblower who will show why
the reasons the lab leak was covered up are incorrect. He worked on
the classified research side of the program as a US government
scientist. He knows the real how and why COVID-19 emerged. Besides
exposing the conspiracy and cover-up, Dr. Huff also puts forth
policy solutions and recommendations to prevent a lab leak virus
from plaguing the world again. The Truth about Wuhan simply
explains the complexity of the system that led to COVID-19's
emergence; how the medical industrial complex grew and became
entrenched in gain of function work after 9/11; why EcoHealth
Alliance was the (almost) perfect intelligence collection cover;
the policy actions and decision-making process as to why the United
States government engaged in the COVID cover-up; how and why the
United States swapped biotechnology with China and biomedical
corporations; and the incentives for each of the actors or
governments to engage and coordinate a global cover-up of COVID-19
origins. The Truth about Wuhan also shows how and why Dr. Anthony
Fauci is intricately involved in the COVID cover-up; how scientists
like EcoHealth Alliance president and CEO Dr. Peter Daszak rose to
power and used their influence to corrupt science and the COVID
origin investigation; and how the intelligence community likely
orchestrated the cover-up with Dr. Anthony Fauci. Dr. Huff also
provides personal harrowing accounts of how the US government waged
a psychological operation against him to prevent him from speaking
out. COVID-19 is the biggest lie, scandal, and intelligence failure
in US history, and Dr. Andrew G. Huff is stepping out of the
shadows to share his insider story about this failure that led to
millions of deaths around the world.
AWAKENING THE PHARAOHHow to Avoid World Cataclysm in 2012* The
story described in this book refers to real and authentic events
and people.* Since May 2001 we have obtained information on the
location of the tomb of Pharaoh who built the Great Pyramid in
Egypt. This information was obtained from a Polish woman, Lucyna
Lobos, through sessions of hypnotic age regression. * The
excavation of the Pharaoh's tomb and placing the mummy in the
sarcophagus of the Great Pyramid is suppose to "open" the Pyramid
and create a protection from catastrophic changes such as global
warming and natural disasters, especially from the danger of year
2012, i.e. changing of the Earth polarity.* According to obtained
information, the Great Pyramid was constructed about 6,500 years
ago by the Pharaoh whose name was THE ONE WHO CAME FROM HEAVEN. *
The main builders of the Pyramid originated from a distant
civilization in the Orion Constellation and were from a planet
called Ashun. During the Pyramid's construction the people of the
earth only performed basic lighter tasks.* In order to empirically
validate this information from the age regression sessions with
Lucyna Lobos, the University of Wroclaw (Poland) has initiated
archeological excavations in the southern mountain in Poland called
Sleza in August 2004. These excavations are still proceeding
today.* To further validate this information, the University of
Cairo performed radar ground penetrating research (GPR) in the area
of the Great Pyramid to the depth of over 60 meters in February
2006. This was achieved with the permission of the Supreme Council
of Antiquities in Egypt.

Fear and ignorance have run rampant throughout human history,
stifling creativity and unleashing unspeakable cruelty. Those
sinister mythical dragons that often stood in the path of truth and
knowledge seem to return century after century as each new
generation succumbs to its own insecurities, misled by those who
would feed off the fear of others. With great savoir vivre Robert
E. Wheeler guides us through the twists and turns of our many and
varied foibles, all the while aiming the clear light of reason on
the root causes of human misery. His compassion and insight, humor
and lively command of the language combine to explore a gallery of
"rancid ascetics"; "gloating sadists"; "pontificating hierophants";
"saints, gnomes, and rogues"; "spurious religiosity"; "swaggering
unreason"; "oratorical hokum"; and "mystical ballyhoo"; as well as
the "whiplash of mass emotion" and the "torrential madness of
hysteria-dominated crowds" to arrive at a "fuller, richer, and more
abundant life" in which we will "no longer tolerate the coexistence
of natural affluence and spiritual squalor". No longer blinded by
fear, which undermines our reason, we can recover from our
"allergic reaction to truth", turn away from magic - that
"shuddering attempt to master a terrifying universe" - and stop
behaving like "screaming moppets that want someone to pluck the
moon from the sky for them". Guided by Wheeler's firm grasp of
cultural history and modern psychology, Dragons for Sale exposes
the roots of such mental maladies as witchcraft and its
persecution, asceticism and unbridled hedonism, the crusades and
millenarianism, nazism's monumental conceit, and the tactics of
McCarthyism, as well as the more mundaneconsequences of belief in
nostrum vendors and bogus messiahs. Books once regarded as the
well-springs of wisdom - e.g., the Sibylline books and the Malleus
Maleficarum (the witch hunter's handbook) - are discussed and
assessed, uncovering the origins of our sexual misconceptions as
readers examine the "seamier side of the Age of Reason" and learn
how many beliefs act as "psychological toxins". When we realize
that not even the learned have a monopoly on truth and that our
collective anxieties should not be allowed to undermine our reason,
only then may we realize our unparalleled potential for growing
into healthy, fulfilled human beings.
