DOMINATE - How Psychopaths Think, Act and Succeed by C.K. Murray (17 Reviews)    Price verified 8 minutes ago

How do Psychopaths Do it? From the most basic, superficial interactions, to the deepest, most earnest confessions of human emotion, psychopaths are the masters. They know what to say, how to say it, and when to do it. They can take the honest feelings of others and warp them. They can take the good-natured words, actions, and attitudes of 'normal' people... and destroy them. But how do they do it? Everywhere you look, a psychopath lurks. Some are notorious serial killers, determined to torture the mind and body of the innocent. But others--most others--are not nearly so infamous. Many psychopaths are masters of business leadership. Many have reached pinnacles of corporate success, disguising their mental illness behind the facade of strong women and alpha males. Truth be told, psychopaths are nothing like the rest of us. They wear our clothes, our masks, our gestures and our facial expressions. But they are not one of us. They are chameleons, impostors, charlatans. They slide into ...

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.

History of the Deep State (New World Order Book 1) by Jeremy Stone (287 Reviews)    Price verified 13 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 3 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 ...

Inside this selection of verse that deals with themes of life, death, and philosophy - the reader will encounter a dark symbolist style of poetry imbued with the horrors of human frailty and mortality. From a reader's review: "Prepare for a journey: a path made of words that twists and turns through a landscape familiar and yet foreign. These poems will make you feel as if you are racing along the tracks of life and sliding through this world we take for granted. There are many visions you will see along the way... When your destination is reached, you will stand laid bare, able to see and be seen in a kaleidoscope of enlightenment. But will the dawn spit you out, or will you be trodden underfoot into the warm earth? Of love and loss, life and death, much will be revealed in the searing ocean depths. But will you tread the tempest, or be plunged into the roiling sea?" - Donald White

WE ARE NOT SLAVES EVEN TO THE GODS by Avaduta (8 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

Religious beliefs are human-made ideas. They were crafted by men from the past, as answers to unanswered questions on creation and life. Some of these ideas and the men behind them gained cult status and became iconic. Over time, with followers believing in them and patronizing them, they grew into institutions of faith. They are religions, as we know them today. There is another factor behind their astronomical growth -- people could not challenge their views and halt their progress. Perhaps, voices of dissent were not loud enough or were curtailed. However, today, we are in a different age. We have the freedom to differ by reason and choice. Yet, as humans, we shy away from reasoning. Religions, on the other hand, have become omnipresent. Their beliefs reach people more easily than rational arguments against them. We can find religious centers in every nook and corner of the world, broadcasting their teachings. If we want to learn about faiths, abundant resources are occupying the ...

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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...

Human Rights as Mashiach - A Jewish Theology of Human Rights by Shaiya Rothberg (City of Justice Press - Jerusalem) (11 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

[This is an E-Essay - About 20 Pages] It happens now and again that powerful new ideas change the course of history. I'm talking about a special class of redemptive ideas that push humanity to a higher stage of evolution, a stage in which we as a species are wiser and more loving and more just than we were before. One such idea was that all human beings are created in the image of God. Another was that faithfulness to God means abolishing slavery. I think that on the cultural horizon of the human species today there is such a new idea, an idea that could help redeem humanity from her present state of exile and destruction. That idea is the theology of human rights. While religion is sometimes the enemy of human dignity, it can also be a powerful force for its protection. When John Woolman, an American Quaker born in 1720, began preaching that faithfulness to God requires abolishing slavery, he ignited a religious passion that helped facilitate the global paradigm shift that ...

Armenophobia in Azerbaijan by Anzhela Elibegova (1 Review)    Price verified 7 hours ago

The idea of this book came after the presentation of Azeri?hild project which represented a systematized compilation of works by Azerbaijani authors intended for children audiences along with a series of examples of works created by children themselves, which gave a clear demonstration of the gap between the real situation in the Azerbaijani society about anything relating to Armenia and the declared tolerance for diversity of cultures and religions. Naturally enough, we tend to label this hatred as armenophobia often without full awareness of the pivotal role it plays in shaping the ethnic identity of Azerbaijanis; such hatred channeled against all that pertains to Armenia stands as the nemesis of their psychological model and fuels the juxtaposition of us vs. them which is fraught with repercussions for Azerbaijanis themselves. The large archive compiled by the authors of this book a) serves as a thesaurus for an analysis of ongoing processes in the Azerbaijani society and ...

The Rise of Trump: America's Authoritarian Spring by Matthew C MacWilliams (3 Reviews)    Price verified 10 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, ...
