Conspiracy of Fear

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
What you are about to hear is life changing. It will shock you and cause fear. The way you look at life will change. You may think some of it is from the realm of science fiction. You may not. The fact is this, what you are about to hear is the truth. 
 
It is time to forget about the illuminati or the Freemasons. Time to drop the ideas of a global and all powerful secret society. Your political leaders are not those in control. The world's most powerful religions, businesses and military all fade into insignificance when compared to the real truth about the manipulation of mankind on planet earth. 
 
We have in fact created our own ultimate nightmare and things are about to get a lot worse. We will all have one decision to make. We either do as we are told, or we will perish. This is your future. It is a future so far removed from the lives of our ancestors that it can only be called unnatural. 
 
In all of our attempts to free ourselves from the constraints of a chaotic mind, we have in fact created a multi-headed monster that is about to bite off our heads and replace them with heads of its own. You will no longer be human. No longer free. You will be controlled by the most powerful, complex and terrifying system man could ever imagine into existence.

Time for the world to learn from...

Ruth Finnegan

It is a common notion that Africa has, and indeed ought to have, learned much from the west. This is not wrong; all cultures rightly learn from each other. But less is said of what there is to learn from Africa: from her stories, myths, music, proverbs, insights - and more. Here an acclaimed African scholar steps into the gap with a prize winning account that uncovers something of the great legacy of African thought and practice in ways that will astonish many. Written with verve and authority and directed above all to students and sixth formers, this book will also delight and often surprise those who know something of Africa as well as those hitherto ignorant. 
 Ruth Finnegan OBE FBA is Emeritus Professor The Open University, Foreign Associate of the Finnish Literature Bureau, and International Fellow of the American Folklore Society. An anthropologist and multi-award author, she has published extensively, chiefly on Africa, musical practice, and English urban life. Recent books include How is Language?, Fiji's Music: Where Did It Come From?, her edited Entrancement: The Consciousness of Dreaming, Music and The World, and several prize-winning Africa-influenced novels, including The Black Inked Pearl and Voyage of Pearl of the Seas.

Suppressing the Truth in Dallas...

Charles Brandt

From the author of the #1 NYT bestseller I Heard You Paint Houses / The Irishman 
 
Featuring the eyewitness testimony of Earlene Roberts and Victor RobertsonWith this book, “Dallas” is now completely solved, by a professional and rational analysis. 
 
Charles Brandt, who handled over fifty-six homicides as the chief deputy attorney general of Delaware, in charge of all homicides and a private homicide defense attorney in the 1970s, has now used his hands-on professional experience in murder investigation  
and his analytic skills to conclusively solve every secret of the homicides of JFK, Officer Tippit, and Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas in 1963. As well, Brandt proves that “but for” the 1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion, the Mafia would not have authorized any of these  
1963 murders that form the basis of Suppressing the Truth in Dallas. Brandt solves the mysteries of Dallas for all time and exposes all the motives of those, such as Chief Justice Earl Warren, who intentionally attempted to suppress the truth.
