The Black Magic

Casa editrice: BookRix

Sinossi

 Black magic, also known as dark magic, is a form of magic that is used to harm or manipulate other people. While it has been practiced for centuries in various cultures, many people view it as a fraudulent activity. This is because black magic practitioners often prey on vulnerable people and exploit their fears and desires for profit. 
 
 One of the most common ways that black magic is used in fraudulent activity is through love spells. Many people turn to black magic practitioners when they are struggling with relationship issues or seeking love. These practitioners offer to cast love spells that will make the person they desire fall in love with them or return to them. However, these spells are often fake, and the practitioners take advantage of the person's vulnerability to extract large amounts of money from them.

Canada Under Siege - How PEI...

Garry Clement, Michel Juneau...

In a chilling tale of soft power, corruption, and covert influence, Canada Under Siege pulls back the curtain on how the Chinese Communist Party quietly turned Prince Edward Island into a strategic forward operating base—right under the noses of Islanders and Ottawa alike.

Drawing from a nearly two-year investigation by veteran intelligence officer and Chief of Asia Pacific (CSIS) Michel Juneau-Katsuya, former RCMP financial crime chief Garry Clement, and publisher Dean Baxendale, this groundbreaking exposé follows the money, the land grabs, the political manipulation, and the elites, captured or compromised.
This is not fiction. With whistleblower testimony, court documents, and explosive first-hand accounts stretching from Charlottetown to Taiwan, this book connects the dots between organized crime, espionage, elite capture, and Beijing’s United Front Work Department.

What emerges is a damning picture of how one of the world’s most authoritarian regimes used immigration loopholes, Buddhist temples, and Anne of Green Gables to anchor its influence in Canada’s Prince Edward Island, the birthplace of Canadian Confederation. With China’s increased belligerence towards taking Taiwan by force, the authors show readers how the infiltration of Buddhist groups is playing a key role in the soft power dynamic in Taiwan and around the world, particularly as it relates to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Tibetan Buddhism.

Canada Under Siege is more than an exposé, it’s a warning. The threat is no longer at the gates. It’s already here. The time to act is now.

The Xinjiang Procedure

Ethan Gutmann

What is The Xinjiang Procedure?
Xinjiang refers to the northwest of China where the Uyghur people, Muslims with Turkic roots, have lived for thousands of years. The procedure refers to Chinese transplant surgeons surgically extracting Uyghur organs while their hearts are still beating, average age, 28 years old.
From 2015 on, the WHO and the Transplantation Society asserted this was fiction. China of a different time. Then came the medical testing of any Uyghur above the age of 12. Ten million blood and DNA tests. And the camps filled the desert
Ethan Gutmann told the story of Falun Gong organ harvesting with intelligence and heart in his acclaimed book The Slaughter. His searing reporting drew death threats-and helped bring down Taipei's mayor, Dr. Ko Wen-Je for complicity in Beijing's organ harvesting operations.
Gutmann's way forward was clear. Refugees were crossing the Kazakh border, fleeing China in a vivid display of human endurance. But Beijing had changed the rules. Throughout Central Asia, human rights investigators were now considered spies. The Chinese press explicitly identified Gutmann as a new "Cold Warrior."
Gutmann mustered a 4x4 with no GPS tracker, his foster daughter, skis, a paper map, and a compass. They drove from Germany to the Kazakh border where they were searched and biometrically photographed. Then, from the standpoint of electronic surveillance, the duo vanished into thin air.
Gutmann re-emerged in London with startling new evidence from the Xinjiang concentration camps. Beijing was murdering tens of thousands of young people for their organs every year. Foreign organ tourists were purchasing them to order. A young woman's organs were valued at $900,000.
This is the account of how Gutmann did it. He brings the story of Beijing's organ harvesting juggernaut, and its Western medical apologists, to conclusion - and points to an unconventional way forward. The Xinjiang Procedure sets a new standard in narrative non-fiction.

No Ordinary Bird - Drug...

Artis Henderson

WINNER OF THE ASJA AWARD FOR MEMOIR/AUTOBIOGRAPHY
SILVER MEDAL WINNER OF A FLORIDA BOOK AWARD
In the vein of Small Fry or Priestdaddy, No Ordinary Bird is a compelling father-daughter story that reads like true crime, haunted by a question the dashing and mysterious Lamar Chester had always taught his daughter to ask: “How do you tell the good guys from the bad?”
Artis was five when a plane crash killed her beloved father. For years, it was simply called “the accident.”
But many things weren’t getting discussed. Like Lamar himself—a swashbuckling, larger-than-life pilot, a doting father and husband, and the most popular farmer in Georgia. Or that the IRS had immediately taken everything: the chickens, the airplanes, the islands in the Bahamas. . . . Afterwards, Artis and her mother broke contact with everyone and fled, rebuilding from the bottom up as if Lamar’s big, wild life had never happened.
Years later, a friend tells Artis Lamar’s plane was sabotaged: her father had been one of the biggest drug smugglers in Miami in the 1970s. At the time of his death, he was about to testify in a trial that had swept up everyone from the Prime Minister of the Bahamas, to a US district attorney, to the Colombian drug cartels. But the deeper Artis digs, the more unexpected the story becomes.
Beyond the dramatic betrayals, dangerous drug lords, and geopolitical intrigue is the beating heart of this riveting memoir: a daughter’s grappling with a dark legacy and her memories of the father who had been the light of her life. Who are the good guys, who are the bad guys, and is there a difference at all?
