The use of biological warfare (BW) agents by states or terrorists
is one of the world's most frightening security threats but, thus
far, little attention has been devoted to understanding how to
improve policies and procedures to identify and attribute BW
events. "Terrorism, War, or Disease?" is the first book to examine
the complex political, military, legal, and scientific challenges
involved in determining when BW have been used and who has used
them.
Through detailed analysis of the most significant and controversial
allegations of BW use from the Second World War to the present,
internationally recognized experts assess past attempts at
attribution of unusual biological events and draw lessons to
improve our ability to counter these deadly silent killers. This
volume presents the most comprehensive analysis of actual and
alleged BW use, and provides an up-to-date evaluation of law
enforcement, forensic epidemiology, and arms control measures
available to policymakers to investigate and attribute suspected
attacks.

A comprehensive examination of the many ways the spirit world
affects the material plane and our minds We are spirits housed in a
body, and just as houses can be haunted, so can people. When the
living succumb to dissociative states of consciousness, they become
a magnet for lost but clinging spirits. Known as jinn, dybbuk,
daemon, wuqabi, or simply the undead, they hover unseen on the
earth plane, ready to inhabit the most suitable body available.
Documenting the life of wandering spirits and their impact on
vulnerable human targets, Susan Martinez offers a radical departure
from the standard psychological explanations for a host of
pathological behaviors--including multiple personality, autism,
epilepsy, migraines, obsessive compulsive disorder, depression,
schizophrenia, anxiety, PTSD, self-destructive urges, and strange
outbursts--and reveals that hallucinations are often true
impressions of spirit input. Martinez explains how mental health
comes down to the delicate balance between self-control and
spirit-control. When trauma triggers an escape response, the soul
takes flight, leaving the mind susceptible to possession by
discarnate entities. However, the spirit world can also bestow
gifts upon those whose psyches are open, such as in the case of
mediums, shamans, people who communicate with angels, and many of
the world’s creative geniuses. Martinez presents
“overshadowing” by spirits as a universal, cross-cultural
phenomenon, documenting modern and traditional accounts as well as
corroborating indigenous beliefs. She examines soul decay, soul
travel both before and after death, as well as how knowledge of the
spirit world can offer positive treatments for disorders like
schizophrenia and autism. Providing a detailed guide to the spirit
world and its inhabitants, the author offers checklists of symptoms
of “overshadowing,” methods from the world’s top exorcists,
and instructions on how to free spirits so they can continue their
journey into the beyond--all the tools necessary to forearm us
against soul snatchers and other enemies of the Light.
