    This audiobook is an update to Reality Prism: A Raven Thriller, released by Flamingo Audiobooks. The focus of our book is to describe and explain the myriad of attacks on our Western Culture in general and the United States as the key target and last bastion of freedom. Mind War is the use of sophisticated deception to deceive an enemy, and to plant false images in his mind to allow advantage. It is a military tactic.Mindless War is a phrase that we’ve coined to describe the methods and controls being used destructively by Globalists, the New World Order, China, the Radical Left, and others, to replace the “old order” of countries, independent nation states, with a world of total control by independent, unaccountable elites. Groups like the World Economic Forum and the UN have been working on this for decades.Yes, this is the “Great Reset.” The goals are documented in UN Agenda 2030, and other such documents. That is the subject of our book Reality Prism. The goal of Mind War is to instill fear in a society! “Fear is the Mind Killer.” It drives the loss of judgment. False reality can be used to cause insane, self-destructive behavior.In the past, genocides and tyranny came from force. As Mao demonstrated, “From the barrel of a gun.” Or, as Hitler showed, from military conquest and death camps. Mind War is a much more effective tactic.Recent events show its success in getting Americans to surrender our notions of exceptionalism and all men (and women) of being equal. Our God-Given Freedoms—from the right to assemble, free speech, fair trials, innocent until proven guilty, honest elections, freedom of worship, the rule of law, and, of course, at the end, the right to bear arms—are all slipping away.

    Schools and universities support misleading notions of 'progress' and development, fostered by the belief that ever-increasing production, consumption and profit are proper yardsticks for measuring the quality of human life. Our universities are the recruitment centres for the personnel of the consumer society, certifying citizens for service, while at the same time disposing of those judged unfit for the competitive rat race. In this bold and provocative book, Illich suggests some radical and exciting reforms for the education system.

    The Qing Dynasty, China’s last imperial dynasty, emerged from the northeastern frontier, led by the Manchu people. Before establishing their rule over China, the Manchus were a semi-nomadic group descended from the Jurchens, who had previously ruled northern China under the Jin Dynasty. In the early 17th century, Nurhaci, a formidable leader, laid the foundation for Manchu power by unifying various Jurchen tribes and adopting administrative and military structures inspired by the Ming Dynasty. His successor, Hong Taiji, continued these efforts, formally establishing the Qing Dynasty in 1636. However, the conquest of China was still incomplete, as the Ming Dynasty continued to rule the heartland. 
    The decline of the Ming Dynasty provided an opportunity for the Qing to assert their dominance. By the early 17th century, the Ming government was weakened by internal corruption, peasant uprisings, and economic distress exacerbated by famine and mismanagement. The most devastating of these rebellions was led by Li Zicheng, a former postal worker turned insurgent, whose forces overran Beijing in 1644. The fall of the Ming capital marked a critical turning point. With the Ming emperor dead and the central government in disarray, a Ming general, Wu Sangui, faced a difficult choice: resist the rebel forces or seek outside aid. He chose the latter, opening the gates of the Great Wall at Shanhai Pass to the advancing Qing army. The Manchus, under the leadership of Prince Dorgon, seized the moment, swiftly capturing Beijing and declaring the establishment of Qing rule.

    The Holodomor, a man-made famine that devastated Ukraine between 1932 and 1933, has its roots in the policies of the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin. While the famine itself was a tragedy of immense proportions, its causes can be traced to the larger political and economic strategies of the Soviet regime. 
    The Soviet Union, in its quest for rapid industrialization, implemented harsh agricultural policies, which included forced collectivization. The idea was to consolidate small farms into larger collective farms, thereby increasing agricultural output and facilitating the redistribution of food to feed the growing industrial centers. However, this policy had disastrous effects on Ukraine, where agriculture was the backbone of the economy. 
    Collectivization forced Ukrainian peasants, who were traditionally independent farmers, into state-run collective farms. This not only disrupted agricultural production but also led to widespread resistance, as many Ukrainians viewed this as a direct attack on their way of life. The Soviets, determined to break this resistance, responded with brutal force. Those who opposed collectivization were often punished or executed, and the fertile lands of Ukraine were systematically confiscated. 
    Stalin’s government implemented the policy of grain requisitioning, where large amounts of grain were forcibly taken from Ukraine to support other areas of the Soviet Union. Ukraine, known as the “breadbasket” of the Soviet Union, became the primary target of these requisitions. The grain was not only taken for export but also used to fuel the industrial ambitions of the Soviet state. This left the Ukrainian population without sufficient food for survival, pushing them into a state of extreme deprivation.

    Creativity is often seen as the driving force behind progress and innovation, but it can be difficult to define due to its fluid and multifaceted nature. At its core, creativity is the ability to generate novel ideas, solutions, or artistic expressions that are both original and valuable. It is not confined to any one discipline and can manifest in countless forms, whether in art, science, business, or everyday life. While many people may perceive creativity as an inherent trait, research suggests that it can also be nurtured and developed through practice and the right environment. This chapter explores the definition of creativity and the reasons why it is so crucial in both personal and professional realms. 
      
    The importance of creativity extends far beyond individual expression. It plays a central role in solving complex problems, adapting to new challenges, and envisioning future possibilities. In the workplace, creativity fuels innovation, allowing businesses to stay competitive and responsive to the rapidly changing demands of global markets. In education, creative thinking is essential for fostering critical thinking and lifelong learning. Creativity can also promote emotional well-being, offering a means of self-expression and problem-solving when faced with personal challenges.
