    On August 6, 2011, a tragic event unfolded when Extortion 17, a Chinook helicopter, was shot down, resulting in the loss of 30 American servicemen, including 17 Navy SEALs from the legendary SEAL Team 6. It marked the largest loss of life during the War on Terror, a war America was told started because of Osama bin Laden and 9/11. 
    In Alan Parrot's narratives, an oral history captured by Nick Noe, he puts tragic events, including 9/11, Benghazi, and Extortion 17, into perspective. Alan, an Arabist, spent much of his life with royalty in the Middle East and learned about such national tragedies through observation, conversations, and omission. He explains how diplomatic immunity played a role in 9/11 and details the weapons transfer that resulted in the tragedy in Benghazi.  
    Behind these heart-wrenching incidents lies a web of secrecy and deception. Startling revelations have come to light, thanks to the evidence shared with the grief-stricken Gold Star families during the debrief. Astonishingly, it appears that Extortion 17 was not a random act of war, but rather a meticulously orchestrated setup. The threads of this conspiracy can be traced back to the historic Osama bin Laden raid, a mere three months prior, and thus 9/11. 
    Within the pages of this gripping book, you will embark on an extraordinary journey of discovery. Delve into the enigmatic concept of diya, the key that unlocks the truth behind Extortion 17. Unveiling secrets known to only a privileged few, Extortion 17's Why illuminates the darkest corners of a clandestine world. 
    Prepare to be captivated by a tale that challenges your perception of reality and sheds light on the shadows. Are you ready to unravel the mysteries and uncover the untold story of Extortion 17?

    Sincerity - Communicating with...

    Sincerity is the foundation of meaningful communication. It fosters trust, deepens relationships, and allows individuals to express themselves without fear of pretense or deception. In a world where surface-level interactions are common, sincere communication stands out as a rare and valuable trait. People instinctively recognize authenticity, gravitating toward those who speak with honesty and conviction. When words and intentions align, communication becomes more impactful, creating connections that are both genuine and lasting. 
    Authenticity in speech and action is not just about being truthful; it is about being fully present and engaged in the conversation. It requires self-awareness, a clear understanding of personal values, and the courage to express oneself without the need for embellishment. Those who communicate sincerely are not driven by the desire to impress or manipulate. Instead, they prioritize clarity and honesty, ensuring their words accurately reflect their thoughts and emotions. This transparency fosters deeper connections, as others feel heard, respected, and valued in return. 
    Sincerity also plays a crucial role in credibility. Whether in personal relationships or professional settings, trust is built on consistent and honest communication. People who habitually exaggerate or hide their true feelings often struggle to gain the confidence of others. On the other hand, individuals who speak with integrity create an environment where open dialogue is encouraged, reducing misunderstandings and fostering mutual respect. When sincerity is at the core of interactions, people feel comfortable expressing themselves without fear of judgment or manipulation.

    The sight of suffering does one good, the infliction of suffering does one more good - this is a hard maxim, but none the less a fundamental maxim, old, powerful, and "human, all-too-human".
     
    In this daring and insightful work, Nietzsche lays bare the hypocrisies at the foundations of our ideas of morality. Considering ideas of good and evil, guilt and conscience, and law and violence along the way, On the Genealogy of Morals takes the reader on a journey through the history of value systems in three masterful essays.
     
    His insights are sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes provocative, but always demonstrate the workings of an exceptional mind. Together, this collection of essays makes up one of the most powerful works of modern philosophy that seeks to do nothing less than unravel the mysteries of human nature.

    Traumatic Narcissism -...

    In Traumatic Narcissism, Daniel Shaw presents a way of understanding the traumatic impact of narcissism as it is engendered developmentally, and as it is enacted relationally. Focusing on the dynamics of narcissism in interpersonal relations, Shaw describes the relational system of what he terms the 'traumatizing narcissist' as a system of subjugation—the objectification of one person in a relationship as the means of enforcing the dominance of the subjectivity of the other. 
     
     
     
    Bringing together theories of trauma and attachment, intersubjectivity and complementarity, and the rich clinical sensibility of the Relational Psychoanalysis tradition, Shaw demonstrates how narcissism can best be understood not merely as character, but as the result of the specific trauma of subjugation, in which one person is required to become the object for a significant other who demands hegemonic subjectivity. Traumatic Narcissism presents therapeutic clinical opportunities not only for psychoanalysts of different schools, but for all mental health professionals working with a wide variety of modalities. Although primarily intended for the professional psychoanalyst and psychotherapist, this is also a book that therapy patients and general audiences will find highly accessible and illuminating.
