  A Manual of Buddhism 
  By Dudley Wright 
  Introduction by Professor Edmund J. Mills 
  Narrated by Oberon Michaels 
  Buddhism has a vast array of scriptures but a relatively small body of essential doctrines. In this short treatise the author presents a systematic introduction to Buddhist teaching, commencing with a discussion of the Noble Eightfold Path. Other topics include the Buddhist views of God and enlightenment, and the practice of Buddhism in the world of today. 
  Dudley Wright (1868 - 1949) wrote extensively on a wide variety of religious subjects and was also active as an investigator of the paranormal. He was a practising Freemason, who believed that all religions shared a common basis.

  Mankind across the world has been imprisoned. They called it lockdown. We have been terrified into submission. Words like 'pandemic' and images of horror have been thrust upon us. It is all a scam. A lie. It is part of a long-term plot to control, manipulate and enslave mankind. A divided world has been brought together under a common threat and it is just the beginning. 
   
  There are massive, global revolutions being created and fostered by a powerful, dark and sinister group that have directed the sheep for countless generations. Very soon you will be asked to do things you would never have contemplated before and you will do them gladly. This is the story of how your freedoms and liberties are being taken away from you without you even caring. In fact you will be happy to lose them. And all because of a small virus created by that same elite group and let loose upon mankind for a very malevolent end. 
   
  George Orwell said: "Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind." This book will prove that he was right all along…

  A Brilliant Commodity - Diamonds...

  During the late nineteenth century, tens of thousands of diggers, prospectors, merchants, and dealers extracted and shipped over 50 million carats of diamonds from South Africa to London. The primary supplier to the world, South Africa's diamond fields became one of the formative sites of modern capitalist production. At each stage of the diamond's route through the British empire and beyond—from Cape Town to London, from Amsterdam to New York City—carbon gems were primarily mined, processed, appraised, and sold by Jews. 
   
   
   
  In A Brilliant Commodity, historian Saskia Coenen Snyder traces how once-peripheral Jewish populations became the central architects of a new, global exchange of diamonds. Centuries of restrictions had limited Jews to trade and finance, businesses that often heavily relied on internal networks. Jews were well-positioned to become key players in the earliest stage of the diamond trade and its growth into a global industry. Relying on mercantile and familial ties across continents, Jews created a highly successful commodity chain that included buyers, brokers, cutters, factory owners, financiers, and retailers. 
   
   
   
  Working within a diasporic ethnic community that bridged city and countryside, metropole and colony, Jews helped build a flourishing diamond industry and a place for themselves in the modern world.

  Ramses II - The Great Pharaoh of...

  Ramses II, also known as Ramses the Great, ascended to the throne of Egypt at the age of around twenty-five, marking the beginning of one of the most illustrious reigns in ancient Egyptian history. Born to Seti I and Queen Tuya, Ramses was the second son in a royal family with a rich history of military conquest and religious devotion. His early life was marked by a deep connection to his father, who was a powerful Pharaoh and who taught him the ways of leadership, military strategy, and governance. 
  Ramses II’s rise to power was in part due to the untimely death of his older brother, Amunherkhepeshef. His subsequent coronation followed the traditional Egyptian custom, but Ramses’s reign would quickly set him apart from his predecessors. Under Seti I’s rule, Egypt had already gained considerable strength, and Ramses inherited an empire that was well-positioned for further military expansion. Yet, it was his own brilliance, both as a military leader and as a strategist, that allowed him to solidify his place as one of the greatest Pharaohs of Egypt. 
  One of the first significant moments of his reign was his involvement in the Battle of Kadesh. Although young at the time, Ramses’s leadership during this critical battle would define his reputation as a warrior king. Despite facing a large Hittite force, Ramses II's audacity and resilience ensured Egypt's power remained strong. Though the battle ended in a stalemate, Ramses managed to secure his status through subsequent peace negotiations, leaving a lasting legacy on Egypt’s military and political landscape.
