CREEP: A Short Psychological Thriller by William Cook (King Billy Publications) (85 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

A dark story of a young woman's date with death! CREEP is a short psychological thriller that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Serial Killers don't always get away with murder, no matter how hard they try. Includes bonus short story - Legacy. From CREEP: "Cassandra pounded on the window and frantically tried to push the rear doors open, first with her shoulders and then with her heels, to no avail. She peered into the dark confines of the garage and saw nothing except her frightened reflection looking back at her in the window, bathed in the dim yellow interior light of the cab. She cupped her neatly manicured hand across her brow and looked out the window again, her button nose touching the smeared glass as she did so. She thought she heard a deep growling noise somewhere nearby outside the cab and then her window was filled with bared teeth and the blackest, evil eyes, she'd ever seen. The huge head of the Rottweiler retreated into the shadows before launching itself back at the vehicle, the razor sharp canines crunching against the window and sending a trail of cracks across the glass. Steaming froth and saliva dripped down the webbed glass as the dog began to bark and thud its massive head against the side of the cab. Cassandra scuttled across the back seat as she wet herself, waves of fear shrinking her into a ball, as the crazed dog leaped at the cab again... " "William Cook tells a gruesome story with a sense of authenticity that makes you question with considerable unease if it really is fiction, after all." - Graham Masterton, author of The Manitou and Descendant "This man is simply scary. There is both a clinical thoroughness and a heartfelt emotional thoroughness to his writing. He manages to shock as well as empathize, to scare as well as acclimatize, yet beneath it all is a well read intelligence that demands to be engaged. I loved Blood Related. Ordinarily I hate serial killer stories, but William Cook won me over. He is a unique and ...

History of the Deep State (New World Order Book 1) by Jeremy Stone (287 Reviews)    Price verified 9 hours ago

Mainstream Media has led us to believe that the idea of a Deep State is a recent phenomenon. However, it has presented itself in many forms throughout our nation's history. Many prominent bureaucratic figures have participated in this centuries-old conspiracy against America. Jeremy Stone has elucidated a clear definition of the origin, evolution, objectives, and hostile foreign intentions of this New World Order. Its agenda is an Anti-American one, with "enlightenment thinkers" at Its core. Nefarious foreign interference of our 'Nation-State' has been mounting for centuries with the ultimate goal of toppling our country from within. Without a complete understanding of the New World Order and its history, we are doomed to fail in attempting to eliminate it. While it is possible to stifle the New World Order and its foreign conspiracy against 'The State,' we must understand what it is, a Global-Matrix/New World Order, designed to topple Governments from within.

Handbook for the Anti-Islamic Resistance by George R. Walters (12 Reviews)    Price verified 11 hours ago

It is not just rhetoric to note that a state of war between Islam and the non-Muslim world already exists. Islam is and for nearly its entire history been at war with the non-Muslim world. Thus a defacto state of war exists regardless of the lack of or confused and ineffective response from the those being attacked. For more and more of us the need for an international anti-Islamic resistance is self evident. Many of us already recognize that the Islamic ideology is fascism in a religious context. Islam benefits only a small and brutal oligarchy. Islam is also an existential threat to all non-Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Bahai's, atheists, agnostics, etc. That threat is becoming increasingly aggressive and will continue to do so in the future. Unfortunately, despite the fact that ordinary Muslims do not benefit from the Islamic ideology, the record of the non-Islamic world in turning back growing Islamic influence and eventual takeover has been dismal in most cases. Clearly more must be done if we are reverse this ominous trend. To many of us the absolute necessity of resistance to the Islamic ideology and its agenda of global conquest is so self-evident that it hardly bears repeating. Unfortunately, however, it has not been in the interests of even the non-Muslim elites and the media that service those elites to admit the obvious. As a result we must necessarily address and re-address truths that may be instinctively and widely held by many, if not most. Of course those truths, no matter how well documented, will be vigorously denied by Islamists, their "useful idiots," and those who are either willfully ignorant or seeking advantage from enabling Islamist conquest. Yet even if Western governments finally admit the obvious and attempt to address the threat to our societies posed by Islam, success is far from guaranteed. This is both because Western societies present such a variety of targets and the "rules of engagement" that governments ...

The Open Conspiracy by H. G. Wells (104 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

The novelist behind The War of the Worlds and The Invisible Man gets political in his manifesto for creating a more ordered, peaceful planet. The Open Conspiracy is H. G. Wells's attempt to outline how civilization should be ordered through a world commonwealth. He wished for humanity to gain control over its destiny and free itself from the dangers, uncertainties, and miseries it faced. This commonwealth's mission was to support the advancement of all humanity. It would do so through advancing science, ending nationalism, and allowing people to progress by their own merit rather than whatever class they are born into. He believed that through his plan, poverty and warfare would be no more, and we could achieve "universal peace, welfare and happy activity." Originally published in 1928, The Open Conspiracy was revised three times, with its final version appearing in 1933.

"WAR" "Visionary tales of Human Conflict from The Middle East" by Rory Patrick Allen (St. Albans Publishing House) (10 Reviews)    Price verified 10 hours ago

For millenia The Middle East has been plagued by war. This millenium has been no different, with wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Devastation has been wreaked on ordinary,innocent people. Children have been indiscriminately killed, Young men have had their lives terminated before they have had the chance to live their lives to the full. War orphans abound. Widows and Widowers weep at their spouses' graves. Grand Parents have lost generations of their families. Whole communities have been destroyed and villages razed to the ground. I have lived in The Middle East for twenty five years now and the constant undercurrent of these conflicts is ever present. I remember reading one news report that said that an entire village and its inhabitants were destroyed after a wedding celebration resulted in the village men firing their riflles into the air, a long tradition in village celebrations, it was viewed as an act of aggression and the village and inhabitants were all destoyed. I kept hearing words such as "Collateral Damage", "Carpet Bombing etc, words used by the media to deflect the true horror of the reality of war.It was at this time that I began to have troubled dreams and horrific nightmares about what was really happening in these theatres of war..These vision like dreams inspired me to write the stories that are contained in this work. The messages in these stories are not just relevant to The Middle East but to the world at large.

And they Never Had No Diversity: Confronting the Big Lie by Grant Moore (2 Reviews)    Price verified 55 minutes ago

A must-read book in 2024. A perspective on DIVERSITY you will not find anyplace else. The historical record of the modern world demonstrates clearly that creativity and human achievement has been almost entirely non-diverse. In fact, the great inventions or technical leaps forward come from very non-diverse, uniform, high-trust environments: China for silk, the compass, firearms, gunpowder, paper money; late 18th Century England for the Steam Engine, late 19th Century America for the telephone, and so on. Even the airplane was not invented by "diverse" groups but by a couple of bicycle mechanics from Ohio. Over the course of human history, the world's races, religions, ethnicities and cultures have at various times and in various places, exhibited differences in their productivity and inventiveness. The differences in the distribution of skill and human capital are in constant flux around the world as some nations and cultures ascend (e.g., Japan, China, South Korea) while others stagnate or even decline (e.g., Egypt, Greece). This is not something that can be stopped or even managed. Despite the clarion call of "Diversity is our Strength" it's not religion, race, ethnicity, or gender that's important to a company's workforce: it's just talent and ability, and all the other qualities of good employees. This same principle applies to each of us in everyday life: be a patriot, a law-abiding citizen, a productive co-worker, and a dependable neighbor. Diversity should be left to proceed as it has always done throughout human history: by the free adoption of good inventions and good ideas by people worldwide from whomever and from wherever these inventions and ideas have materialized. To do otherwise is directly at odds with the goals of a meritocratic society. And don't forget to checkout Mr. Moore's first book "Is it Just Me?

Not Another Average Guy: An Exemplar For The Modern Man by A.P. Hovsepian (1 Review)    Price verified 9 hours ago

Every boy needs a strong male figure in their life. Especially in the formative years. And yet, it's no secret that most of us were deprived of this very thing. No one was there to guide, shape and mold us into men. Our fathers may have been around, but few took it upon themselves to teach us what it meant to be a man. As a result, we've all suffered -- both directly and indirectly -- a great deal of unnecessary pain and frustration in adulthood; where life demanded the price of ignorance be paid (with interest!) While time travel is not a viable solution (yet), the next best thing is to learn these lessons now. Not Another Average Guy is an amalgamation of decades of wisdom, forged by trial and error in the midst of life's most difficult struggles; Struggles one too many men had to personally endure. It offers a gift most males crave from a young age: the gift of direction.

Race for Citizenship: Black Orientalism and Asian Uplift from Pre-Emancipation to Neoliberal America (Nation of Nations Book 23) by Helen Heran Jun (NYU Press) (3 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

Helen Heran Jun explores how the history of U.S. citizenshiphas positioned Asian Americans and African Americans in interlocking socio-political relationships since the mid nineteenth century. Rejecting the conventional emphasis on 'inter-racial prejudice,' Jun demonstrates how a politics of inclusion has constituted a racial Other within Asian American and African American discourses of national identity. Race for Citizenship examines three salient moments when African American and Asian American citizenship become acutely visible as related crises: the 'Negro Problem' and the 'Yellow Question' in the mid- to late 19th century; World War II-era questions around race, loyalty, and national identity in the context of internment and Jim Crow segregation; and post-Civil Rights discourses of disenfranchisement and national belonging under globalization. Taking up a range of cultural texts -- the 19th century black press, the writings of black feminist Anna Julia Cooper, Asian American novels, African American and Asian American commercial film and documentary -- Jun does not seek to document signs of cross-racial identification, but instead demonstrates how the logic of citizenship compels racialized subjects to produce developmental narratives of inclusion in the effort to achieve political, economic, and social incorporation. Race for Citizenship provides a new model of comparative race studies by situating contemporary questions of differential racial formations within a long genealogy of anti-racist discourse constrained by liberal notions of inclusion.

Reclaiming Socialism, or: Economic Democracy (Recovering a Stolen Word) by Brian Rush (37 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Imagine getting up in the morning and going to work for a company that, just by virtue of the fact that you work for it, you own part of. Imagine that the company's president and other officers have to stand for election every year or two years, and you and all the other employees of the company vote them in or out. Imagine getting an accounting on a quarterly basis of the company's profitability and receiving a payout of your share of those profits - your due as a worker-owner. Imagine that you get tired of working for the company you own part of and decide to strike out on your own. Imagine that there are on-line services readily available where your skills demand high pay from independent clients, so that being self-employed and entirely your own boss is a matter only of doing the work. Or let's say that you and a number of friends have an idea for a new business. Imagine a non-profit organization or perhaps a government agency set up just for that purpose, ready to provide you and your friends a low-interest loan, free advice, and lots of other assistance so you can do that - as long as your new business is a workers' cooperative. Imagine a world in which nobody is obscenely rich and nobody is poor, and the average person makes about double - maybe triple - what most people make today. I can imagine that easily enough. Can you? Would you like to live in a world like that? I sure would. We're ready for it. We just have to believe it and reach for it, and reclaim the word that stands for it. That word is "socialism." It's being misused today to describe something it's not, a world of giant bureaucracies, stagnant economies, and secret police. That's not what it means. It means a world in which ordinary people - probably people like you - own the businesses that provide your livelihood, instead of the economy being owned by a few hogs on Wall Street who see you as their peon. That's what socialism is about. It's about finally freeing ourselves from the ...

Radical Coup: A Case for Reaction (Libertarian Analysis Book 2) by Sean Gabb (13 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

From the Foreword by Hans-Hermann Hoppe: Gabb provides detailed analyses of many issues currently hotly debated both in and outside of libertarian circles all across the Western world, and assesses their role and impetus in the process of social change. Thus, the reader will find many valuable, historically informed insights regarding the issues of "free" (mass) immigration vs. controlled borders, multiculturalism vs. cultural homogeneity, secession vs. centralization, of left-libertarianism and the new, Alternative Right, and of Christian and Islamic culture. Most importantly especially for libertarians and, as I should confess, much in line with what I have tried to accomplish for quite some time with my own writings, in reaction to the diagnosed disease -- the Radical Coup -- Gabb proposes a detailed, equally radical cure -- his Case for Reaction -- that envisions a programmatic alignment of traditional conservatism and libertarianism with the common goal of restoring a bourgeois society as the highest achievement of Western civilization. This book is an update of Gabb's Cultural Revolution, Culture War, first published in 2007 to general acclaim by conservatives, libertarians, nationalists and anarchists. This is the book that introduced the concepts of Cultural Marxism and Frankfurt School subversion to the English Right, single-handedly, and within a few weeks, transforming the language of analysis and action on the British political right. The present volume contains the whole original text of Cultural Revolution, Culture War, but now includes a set of further examinations that extend and adapt the analysis, plus an Introduction that summarises Gabb's analysis of what has happened in England and of the steps that need to be taken if English Civilisation is to be restored to health. Briefly put, his central thesis is that the British ruling class has, since at least 1997, turned itself into a totalitarian conspiracy, at war both with liberty and with ...

Are today's young people being psychologically conditioned to violence, sexual perversion, and suicidal hopelessness? Will mass shootings continue? Is the rise in same-sex attraction a closely related problem? Will violence continue to increase? Will deaths of despair continue to rise? Will America destroy itself from within? REVISED AND EDITED: America is now facing the worst psychological crisis in its history. What has changed over the past fifty-plus years that would produce such an outcome? How long will mass shootings (and school shootings) continue? Why do so many young people struggle with murderous and suicidal impulses (not to mention depression, anxiety, and same-sex attraction)? "I want to show how the problem of mass shootings, and America's mental health crisis in general, can be attributed to three primary causes: 1) the psychological effects of today's passive childrearing practices (producing low self-worth, insecurity, depression, self-doubt, anger, envious resentment, self-loathing, entitlement, loneliness, vindictive behavior, and same-sex attraction). Kids today are hurting on a much deeper level than anything seen in recent generations. They are also more unbridled than ever and likely to act upon distorted emotional urges and impulses. 2) the breakdown of the traditional family structure which produces these same psychological effects only worse. This has been accomplished primarily by extending sexual permissiveness throughout society, which has produced countless fatherless and dysfunctional homes. The majority of mass shooters and other violent offenders come from these environments. 3) the uncivilized means by which we bring about change in society (radical politics). This third element is what brings it all together. It is also a product of the first two. As most are aware, the spiritual seekers of the sixties (hippies) that brought us the sexual revolution were predominantly the children of gross neglect. This revolution is where ...

The Rise of Trump: America's Authoritarian Spring by Matthew C MacWilliams (3 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

The ascendance of Donald Trump to the presidential candidacy of the Republican Party has been both remarkable and, to most commentators, unlikely. In The Rise of Trump: America's Authoritarian Spring, Matthew MacWilliams argues that Trump's rapid rise through a bewildered Republican Party hierarchy is no anomaly; rather, MacWilliams argues, it is the most recent expression of a long-standing theme in American political life, the tendency and temptation to an ascriptive politics -- a political view that builds its basic case on ascribing to any relatively disempowered group (whether defined by race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, or other identifying category) a certain set of qualities that justify discriminatory treatment. The ascriptive tradition in American politics, though longstanding, has generally been kept to a relatively small minority -- a minority whose rights, perhaps paradoxically, have been protected by the principles of Madisonian democracy, even though central to its worldview is the need and urgency of limiting the rights of some. It has found champions in years past in such figures as Andrew Jackson, Huey Long, Joseph McCarthy, and Pat Buchanan. But in Donald Trump this tradition has found a significant new voice, one emboldened by deeper shifts in the American political landscape. Trump's swift and unsettling rise to the pinnacle of presidential politics may point toward the emergence of more significant and substantial questions about the future course of a democratic government committed to principles of equality and the freedom of expression, association, and conscience.

Volume One - The Fall of White City Wealthy spinster Evangeline LeClair leads a paradoxical life. By day, she fends off marriage-minded suitors. By night, she teaches English to factory workers at a social settlement in the slums. Evangeline is quite satisfied with the status quo until murder disrupts her routine. One of her students, a penniless immigrant, has been stabbed to death in Chicago's most exclusive hotel. The girl's brother, a known anarchist, is accused of the crime. Evangeline wheedles her admirer, Freddie Simpson, into helping her track down the real killer. Their list of possible suspects is long: a captain of industry, a denizen of the slums, a shady doctor who mixes his own drugs, and a teenage prostitute from a sporting house in the Levee District. The gleaming surface of the World's Fair casts many shadows, and THE FALL OF WHITE CITY exposes the darkness at its core.
