Summary

In "The Crime of the Congo," Arthur Conan Doyle presents a powerful and impassioned critique of the brutal exploitation and atrocities perpetrated during King Leopold II's rule over the Congo Free State. Employing a journalistic style infused with a moral urgency, Doyle blends vivid narrative with meticulous documentation, allowing readers to grasp the chilling reality of colonial violence. The book emerges in the context of early 20th-century imperialism and humanitarian movements, urging global awareness and accountability for the Congo's plight. Doyle's compelling arguments highlight the intersection of ethics and empire, making a significant literary contribution to the ongoing discourse surrounding colonialism and human rights. Arthur Conan Doyle, best known for his creation of Sherlock Holmes, was a man of diverse interests and deep humanitarian convictions. His exposure to the struggles of the Congolese people arose from a growing concern regarding moral responsibility and social justice. Witnessing the impact of imperialism, Doyle felt compelled to leverage his platform as a prominent author to shine a light on the suffering inflicted upon innocent populations, showcasing his evolution from a writer of fiction to one of a social commentator. For readers interested in historical injustices, colonial criticism, or the role of literature in advocacy, "The Crime of the Congo" is an essential read. This book not only chronicles a dark chapter in history but also serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring human spirit and the necessity for accountability. Doyle's incisive critique resonates profoundly in contemporary discussions on ethical governance and global responsibility.

    Third Eye Spies - Learn Remote...

    Russell Targ has been successfully teaching people how to get in touch with their psychic abilities for more than fifty years. This began in 1972 when he cofounded the CIA sponsored ESP research program at Stanford Research Institute. 
 
 
  
Third Eye Spies will introduce listeners to the most successful and gifted remote viewers in the world, some of whom had never done anything like this before, along with the evidence of their psychic abilities. Remote viewing is the opportunity to describe and experience objects and events in the distance, past, and future. 
 
 
  
Targ shares the simple techniques the masters of remote viewing used to be able to expand your mind's eye beyond your physical location. Misconceptions have abounded that ESP is weak and unreliable. On the contrary, in the SRI laboratory experiments and classified operational tasks, ESP was found to be surprisingly reliable, accurate, and useful. In data from laboratories all over the world, we have seen that the accuracy and reliability of remote viewing is not in any way degraded by distance. 
 
 
  
With Third Eye Spies, you will be able to step beyond the boundaries of your physical body and learn to live with psychic abilities.

    How many times have you seen a murder on the news or on a TV show like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and said to yourself, "How could someone do something like that?" Today, neuroscientists are imaging, mapping, testing, and dissecting the source of the worst behavior imaginable in the brains of the people who lack a conscience: psychopaths. Neuroscientist Dean Haycock examines the behavior of real life psychopaths and discusses how their actions can be explained in scientific terms, from research that literally looks inside their brains to understanding how psychopaths, without empathy but very goal-oriented, think and act the way they do. Some don't commit crimes at all, but rather make use of their skills in the boardroom. But what does this mean for lawyers, judges, psychiatrists, victims, and listeners—for anyone who has ever wondered how some people can be so bad. Could your nine-year-old be a psychopath? What about your co-worker? The ability to recognize psychopaths using the scientific method has vast implications for society, and yet is still loaded with consequences.
