Sinopse

State Control Return explores the re-emergence of social control tactics by European governments, echoing methods used during the Cold War. The book investigates how modern states are reasserting authority, creating a need to re-evaluate the balance between national security and civil liberties. It examines the growth of digital surveillance technologies, where citizens' activities are constantly monitored, and the manipulation of public discourse through propaganda. The book argues these trends challenge democracy, eroding trust in institutions. It examines the historical context, specific surveillance practices, and government's influence on public discourse, drawing on government documents, academic studies, and journalistic investigations. Through case studies across Europe, the book identifies common patterns and unique factors contributing to increased state control. This book is unique for its comparative perspective, offering a detailed analysis of historical context and contemporary political trends. It is structured to first introduce the historical context and theoretical framework for understanding social control and progresses to examine specific examples of surveillance practices, such as the use of facial recognition technology and the tracking of online communications, detailing case studies from across Europe. The book also analyzes the ways in which governments are influencing public discourse through media manipulation, disinformation campaigns, and the suppression of dissenting voices. The concluding chapters synthesize these findings, exploring the long-term implications for democracy and proposing potential strategies for safeguarding individual liberties in an age of increasing state power.

    Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, better known as Vladimir Lenin, was a Russian revolutionary, politician, and political theorist. He served as the first and founding head of government of Soviet Russia from 1917 to 1924 and of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1924. Under his administration, Russia, and later the Soviet Union, became a one-party socialist state governed by the Communist Party. Ideologically a Marxist, his developments to the ideology are called Leninism.
    Russia in the Shadows is a book by H. G. Wells published early in 1921, which includes a series of articles previously printed in The Sunday Express in connection with Wells's second visit to Russia (after a previous trip in January 1914 to St. Petersburg and Moscow) in September and October 1920.
    During his visit to Russia he visited his old friend Maxim Gorky, whom he had first met in 1906 on a trip to the United States, and who arranged Wells's meeting with Lenin.
    In a chapter (The Dreamer in the Kremlin) devoted to an interview with Lenin at the Kremlin Wells describes the leader and founder of Russian communism. Wells portrays Lenin as a pragmatic leader who "has recently stripped off the last pretence that the Russian revolution is anything more than the inauguration of an age of limitless experiment."

    Simone Weil (1909–1943) stands as one of the most profound and unique thinkers of the 20th century, whose philosophy blends the intellectual rigor of traditional philosophy with the depth of mysticism, spirituality, and social activism. Despite her relatively short life, Weil’s work has had a lasting impact on diverse fields, including philosophy, theology, politics, and social theory. Her exploration of the concepts of gravity and grace forms the core of her intellectual legacy, offering a powerful lens through which to understand human suffering, freedom, and the potential for spiritual transformation. 
    At the heart of Weil’s philosophy is the concept of gravity, a metaphor she uses to describe the pull of the material world, which she believes leads to the oppression and suffering of individuals. Gravity represents the forces of self-centeredness, alienation, and the weight of human desires, which trap individuals in their own limitations and separation from the divine. It is the force that binds human beings to their own egos, making them blind to the higher truths of existence. 
    In stark contrast, grace in Weil’s thought is the force that can liberate individuals from the constraints of gravity. Unlike gravity, grace is not something humans can control or earn through effort. It is a divine gift that transcends human will and brings about a spiritual awakening. Grace enables individuals to experience a higher level of freedom—freedom from the self and from the oppression of the material world. For Weil, grace is central to human existence, as it offers the possibility of redemption and spiritual transformation.

    Are We Bodies or Souls?

    What are humans? What makes us who we are? 
     
      
     
    Many think that we are just complicated machines, or animals that are different from machines only by being conscious. In Are We Bodies or Souls? Richard Swinburne comes to the defense of the soul and presents new philosophical arguments that are supported by modern neuroscience. When scientific advances enable neuroscientists to transplant a part of brain into a new body, he reasons, no matter how much we can find out about their brain activity or conscious experiences we will never know whether the resulting person is the same as before or somebody entirely new. Swinburne thus argues that we are immaterial souls sustained in existence by our brains. Sensations, thoughts, and intentions are conscious events in our souls that cause events in our brains. While scientists might discover some of the laws of nature that determine conscious events and brain events, each person's soul is an individual thing and this is what ultimately makes us who we are.

    An MDLG and ABDL themed love story for the age play fetishist. 
    Please note: This book contains content only appropriate for individuals interested in the MDLG subgroup of BDSM. It includes kink related themes, psychological power-play both sexual and non-sexual, sub training in diaper wetting, punishment by bondage, spankings, butt plug, and genital teasing. 
    The story is a work of fiction, and although based on multiple personal experiences, Tina Moore does not assume to speak for the entire community. She also believes that the kink is as broad and diverse as the consenting adults who engage in it, and thus there is not a ‘correct’ way to be a consenting adult involved in age play and/or regression. 
    Tina Moore would like to thank all her loyal, supportive, and loving fans. She wishes you every happiness and success and hopes that you stay safe, calm, and healthy. 
    Leila knew that life could be better, but she had no idea it could be this good!
