Four Chancellors and a Funeral -...

Russell Jones

The sequel nobody wants. After a decade of the Tories, could it get any worse? Spoiler – it does. 
 
Towards the end of 2021, Britain had been frogmarched into an escalating series of surreal calamities. Brexit was a disaster, the NHS was in crisis, the government was bathed head-to-toe in impropriety, senior Tories were still acting as though the public purse was their personal feed-trough, and the air crackled with anger about PartyGate. All of which led to an inglorious start to 2022: the year the UK saw two monarchs, three prime ministers and four chancellors. 
 
From Boris Johnson, who crashed our international reputation and handed billions to his mates so they could ineptly fight a pandemic while he stayed at home, shagging and acting as a super-spreader; to Liz Truss, a drive-by prime minister who managed to kill off the queen and crash the economy in a single week. And now we’re led by Rishi Sunak, who doesn’t know how to use a credit card, drives a pretend car, and grinningly promises even more poverty. 
 
Four Chancellors and a Funeral delivers more of Russell Jones’s signature scathing wit, combining a detailed historical record of 2021 and 2022, with acerbic commentary, all of it leavened by jokes at the seemingly endless maelstrom of failures, nincompoops and hypocrisies.

Ancient Egyptian Gods - From Ra...

Odessa Nightshade

Ancient Egyptian civilization was deeply intertwined with religion, and at the heart of their belief system was a vast pantheon of gods and goddesses. These deities were more than just figures of worship; they shaped every aspect of daily life, from the rising of the sun to the passage into the afterlife. Unlike many modern religions, Egyptian theology was fluid, allowing gods to merge, evolve, or take on different roles depending on the time and region. This dynamic belief system gave rise to a rich mythology that endured for thousands of years.
The gods of Egypt were not distant, abstract beings but rather personal and deeply involved in the world. They governed nature, oversaw justice, protected the people, and maintained cosmic balance, known as *ma’at*. The concept of *ma’at* was central to Egyptian religion, representing order, harmony, and truth. It was the gods' duty to uphold *ma’at* against chaos, often personified by Set, the god of disorder and storms. This cosmic struggle played out in myths, particularly in the tales of Osiris, Isis, and Horus, which symbolized the eternal battle between good and evil, life and death.
Temples were the primary centers of worship, serving as both religious and political institutions. Each major city had its patron deity, and grand temples were built to honor and house these gods. Priests conducted daily rituals, offering food, incense, and prayers to ensure divine favor. Unlike in many other religions, common Egyptians were not allowed direct access to the inner sanctums of temples, where the gods' statues resided. Instead, they worshipped through prayers, festivals, and personal altars in their homes.

RAISING QUAMINA - The True Story...

Duane Alfred Quamina

A True-Life Odyssey of Survival, Legacy, and Redemption. The name Quamina carries centuries of resistance, dignity, and power. This is the story of one man who refused to let that name die.
From the 1823 Demerara slave revolt led by Quamina Gladstone to the streets of 1980s America, Raising Quamina traces the unbreakable thread of Black defiance and resistance across time and continents. Rev. Duane A. Quamina steps into the legacy of his ancestors—not to romanticize rebellion, but to expose the brutal systems built to erase men like him.
Born into a world of quiet wars and loud betrayals, Quamina endured childhood trauma, military sabotage, encounters with the Turkish and Medellin cartels, and two wrongful imprisonments—in Germany and the United States. His legal battle in the infamous Wells Fargo prosecution—centered around the largest attempted heist in American history—ultimately led him to serve time in the historic Atlanta Penitentiary, a fortress of American punishment once home to some of the nation’s most notorious inmates, including Al Capone, Vincent “The Chin” Gigante, Carlos Lehder, Michael Milken, G. Gordon Liddy, and Frank Abagnale.
But this is not a story of defeat. It is a resurrection.
Guided by ancestral memory, spiritual awakening, and nonviolent leadership, Quamina rises from systemic injustice to reclaim his identity—and his voice. Raising Quamina is both personal and political, spiritual and historical. It is a testimony.
Raising Quamina is more than a memoir—it’s a call to conscience and a mirror held up to history.
With cinematic clarity and poetic truth, Rev. Duane A. Quamina lays bare the realities that others tried to bury. This is a story reclaimed, a legacy reborn, and a truth that refused to be erased. Once you start reading, you won’t walk away the same.
