  Deadly Departure

  The in-flight explosion of TWA Flight 800 on July 17, 1996, was one of the deadliest air disasters in American history, triggering one of longest and most confounding investigations. Even today, many people still believe there was a government conspiracy to hide the real cause of the crash. If anyone was covering up the truth about the blast that brought down the jumbo jet as it departed New York for Paris, it was Boeing. For years, the company kept from investigators, vital information about a dangerous design flaw at the heart of the airplane. It took intrepid investigators years to understand how a tiny spark in a massive fuel tank could lead to the deaths of 230 people. This insight into Boeing is significant given several accidents on new model Boeing airliners that would follow in the decades to come. Written by television correspondent and air safety specialist, Christine Negroni, Deadly Departure reveals the chaos behind the massive crash investigation exacerbated by political feuding among various government agencies. Deadly Departure reveals the surprising motivations of those promoting the theory that the true cause of the crash has been covered up. Readers learn about the victims and their families, the rescue and crisis workers, the investigators and scientists, the grifters and imposters. It is an impeccably researched, and provocative story of one of the great disasters of our time.

  A.I. or - Thinking outside the box!  Mind Control is the first Owner's Manual that will help usher in a new species of human being, a species who will respect their home planet and put it first above all other priorities. I call him 'Homo Planetae' or Man of the Planet. Homo Sapiens or the Wise Man is no longer viable since it is this species that has brought us to the edge of extinction and the total destruction of this planet's habitat - something no other creature in history has been so careless and greedy to do. We did that. An evolutionary branching off of an obsolete species and onto a new more advanced creature is now taking place right before our eyes, but 'None are so blind as those who will not see.' 
  Through your increased abilities of using your mind or 'Mind Control' as this author defines it - we still have a chance to redeem ourselves and save this planet. But time is of the essence and is rapidly running fading.  It's only by casting off the mind control by evil forces for the last few billion years that we have a chance to advance our civilization past the next few decades and on into the far distant future.  Failing this adventure, we will surely go extinct in a few years. 
  The ways in which we are mind controlled by our government and our corporations, our religions are profound yet so subtle we don't even think about it until it's too late.  In this book you will find the new rules of our future evolution, some mind control exercises that will make you more in charge of your life and ways to turn us away from our current path towards the precipice, oblivion, the cliff. It's not out of the question, but every day we put off joining the growing list of people who know about Mind Control and the Owner's Manual, the greater are the chances that we may be able to save ourselves. All future generations will thank us - but only if YOU show you are part of us.
