  The Illusory Bargain - Liberty...

  Out-of-control debt. Populism. Political vitriol and corruption. Where did America go wrong? Or rather, when did America go wrong?
  
  1913. The Seventeenth Amendment is ratified, allowing the people of America to vote directly for their senators in the US senate. The same year, the Federal Reserve Act is passed, establishing a central bank to oversee monetary policy. In The Illusory Bargain, Ralph H. Lehman demonstrates that these seemingly empowering and people-serving pieces of legislature were just that-an illusion. Tracing the vision of the Founding Fathers as outlined in The Federalist Papers, Lehman reveals how the safety features of the original constitutional framework have eroded since and given way to rampant abuse of power and arbitrary, tyrannical law.
  
  Through fresh, historically informed insights and over twenty years of financial expertise, Lehman reexamines the nation's fundamental values and proposes what may be the only course of action left to restore our liberty.

  Ever opened a tab and forgotten why? 
  Mid-scroll, mid-thought… and poof—it’s gone? 
  No, it’s not just you. And no, it’s not early-onset anything, 
  You’ve simply been Forgotten. By. Design. 
  In Forgotten by Design: The Silent Epidemic of Digital Dementia, tech meets soul in this genre-bending, mind-bending manifesto on how your memory, focus, and very sense of time are being subtly stolen—and sold back to you. 
  This isn’t another “digital detox” guilt trip. 
  This is a call to remember who you were before 
  the algorithm got your number. 
  ◆ Neuroscience meets Vedic rituals. 
  ◆ Ancient myths collide with dopamine loops. 
  ◆ Real-life stories, surreal insights, and soul-searching questions. 
  Meet the yogi hidden in your nervous system, 
  Decode the ghost data shaping your identity. 
  And answer the only question that matters now: 
  If your mind’s been outsourced to machines… 
  what’s left of you? 
  This is not self-help. This is self-awakening. 
  (Warning: Once remembered, you can’t go back.) 
  ABOUT THE AUTHOR 
  Hardik Goel has spent over a decade wrangling data by day and words by caffeine-fueled night. By trade, he’s a data engineer and scientist, by temperament. a writer, editor, and part-time overthinker with an eye for patterns—whether in code, conversation, or comic coincidence. 
  This book is what happens when spreadsheets meet Sanskrit, and logic makes a late-night deal with mythology.

  Have you ever wondered why some people have a "golden touch", while others are constantly haunted by bad luck? If you count yourself in the first category, congratulations! You're already adept at creating conscious manifestations. In this case, the techniques in this Manifestation Book will help you fulfill (even) greater desires. Often, however, reality unfolds differently: You struggle and invest incredible effort to achieve your goals. But just when things appear to be improving, the next defeat, obstacle, or setback emerges. It feels like for every two steps forward, you're thrown three steps back. 
  Author & Master of Manifestation, Neville Goddard, distilled the Law of Assumption (often regarded as the true Law of Attraction) and the Hermetic Laws to their core principles, achieving unparalleled success in manifesting. This success was not just personal but also extended to the thousands of students who mastered the art of manifestation through his teachings. Among his apprentices was Elmer O. Locker Jr. Elmer's grandson, David, has further enriched this Manifestation Book with many of his own experiences in manifestation. If you wish to harness the power of your consciousness (conscious and subconscious mind) to realize your desires, don't hesitate. Dive into the techniques & instructions provided in this book for manifesting.

  The Scandal of Cal - Land Grabs...

  Tony Platt

  The University of California, Berkeley—widely known as "Cal"—is admired worldwide as a bastion of innovation and a hub for progressive thought. Far less known are the university's roots in plunder, warfare, and the promotion of white supremacy. As Tony Platt shows in The Scandal of Cal, these original sins sit at the center of UC Berkeley's history. Platt looks unflinchingly at the university's desecration of graves and large-scale hoarding of Indigenous remains. He tracks its role in developing the racist pseudoscience of eugenics in the early twentieth century. He sheds light on the school's complicity with the military-industrial complex and its incubation of unprecedented violence through the Manhattan Project. And he underscores its deliberate and continued evasions about its own wrongdoings, which echo in the institution's decision-making up to the present day. This book, above all, illuminates Cal's culpability in some of the cruelest chapters of US history and sounds a clarion call for the university to undertake a thorough and earnest reckoning with its past. It is a must-listen for Cal alumni, students, faculty, and staff, and for anyone concerned with the impact of higher education in the United States and beyond.

  Ghost in the Criminal Justice...

  Emile Suotonye DeWeaver

  Despite reform efforts that have grown in scope and intensity over the last two decades, the machine of American mass incarceration continues to flourish. In this powerful polemic, formerly incarcerated activist, essayist, and organizer Emile Suotonye DeWeaver argues that the root of the problem is white supremacy. 
   
   
   
  During his twenty-one years in prison, DeWeaver covertly organized to pass legislation impacting juveniles in California's criminal legal system; was a culture writer for Easy Street Magazine; and cofounded Prison Renaissance, an organization centering incarcerated voices and incarcerated leadership. DeWeaver draws on these experiences to interrogate the central premise of reform efforts, including prisoner rehabilitation programs, arguing that they demand self-abnegation, entrench white supremacy, and ignore the role of structural oppression. 
   
   
   
  With lucid, urgent prose, DeWeaver intervenes in contemporary debates on criminal justice and racial justice efforts with his eye-opening discussion of the tools we need to end white supremacy—both within and outside the carceral setting. For readers of Mariame Kaba, Susan Burton, and Derecka Purnell, Ghost in the Criminal Justice Machine adds a sharp and unique perspective to the growing discourse on racial justice, incarceration, and abolition.
