  Dunmore's War - The Last...

  Known to history as "Dunmore's War," the 1774 campaign against a Shawnee-led Indian confederacy in the Ohio Country marked the final time an American colonial militia took to the field in His Majesty's service and under royal command. Led by John Murray, the fourth Earl of Dunmore and royal governor of Virginia, a force of colonials including George Rogers Clark, Daniel Morgan, Michael Cresap, Adam Stephen, and Andrew Lewis successfully enforced the western border established by treaties in parts of present-day West Virginia and Kentucky. The campaign is often neglected in histories, despite its major influence on the conduct of the Revolutionary War that followed. In Dunmore's War: The Last Conflict of America's Colonial Era, award-winning historian Glenn F. Williams describes the course and importance of this campaign. Supported by extensive primary source research, the author corrects much of the folklore concerning the war and frontier fighting in general, demonstrating that the Americans did not adopt Indian tactics for wilderness fighting as is often supposed, but rather used British methods developed for fighting irregulars in the woods of Europe, while incorporating certain techniques learned from the Indians and experience gained from earlier colonial wars. 
   
   
   
  As an immediate result of Dunmore's War, the frontier remained quiet for two years, giving the colonies the critical time to debate and declare independence before Britain convinced its Indian allies to resume attacks on American settlements. Ironically, at the same time Virginia militiamen were fighting under command of a king's officer, the colony was becoming one of the leaders in the move toward American independence. Although he was hailed as a hero at the end of the war, Lord Dunmore's attempt to maintain royal authority put him in direct opposition to many of the subordinates who followed him on the frontier, and in 1776 he was driven from Virginia and returned to England.

  Simulated Lives: Are We Already Living in a Matrix? 
  Have you ever felt that reality is not quite what it seems? What if everything around you—your experiences, your beliefs, your very existence—is an intricate illusion, a sophisticated simulation crafted to keep you unaware and controlled? "Simulated Lives: Are We Already Living in a Matrix?" takes you on a deep, provocative journey into the possibility that our world is nothing more than a digital construct. This groundbreaking book is not just an exploration of the Simulation Hypothesis; it is a call to awaken from the slumber of the mind and reclaim your reality. 
  Drawing from cutting-edge scientific theories, philosophical insights, and the latest technological advancements, this book challenges the very fabric of our existence. Are we mere code in a cosmic program run by advanced civilizations, future humans, or artificial superintelligence? Are phenomena like déjà vu, the Mandela Effect, and quantum entanglement the glitches in a sophisticated digital system? Are AI, virtual reality, and augmented reality the first steps toward a deeper digital imprisonment? 
  With a compelling narrative, "Simulated Lives" leads you through the implications of living in a simulated reality, the battle for consciousness, and the ultimate revolution of awareness. This is not just a book; it is a manifesto for those who dare to question the nature of their existence, who seek to break free from the illusion, and who are ready to choose between freedom and control. 
  Are you prepared to take the red pill and see how deep the rabbit hole goes? Discover the truth and join the awakening.

  Radionics and Life Force...

  Radionics is the term for machines which manipulate life forces. This is often for healing or increasing psychic perceptions. 
  The Author is an engineer and has many decades of experience with the paranormal and well as time learning and experimenting with radionics devices from the 1970s. 
  While radionics devices are often considered pseudoscience, those opinions don’t take into account the sensitivities of individuals who have incredible paranormal and healing abilities. 
  In my first year of engineering school at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York I met a man who became my mentor in the Paranormal and other things too. This was in 1973. 
  I learned to meditate and how to open my crown chakra to take in vital forces which allowed me to do many things including healing others. 
  In addition I also met another middle aged guy at a Psychic Fair in Saratoga Springs, New York. He was a researcher in the arcane field of Kirlian Photography. 
  In this book the history of radionics is discussed, some of the major influencers on that history, how these devices are used for healing, and even some plans for building radionics devices.  
  My hope is that this book will give you a good grounding in radionics to learn to use it productively for your own efforts.

  Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin - Book Summary 
  About | Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALS Lead And Win by Jocko Willink, Leif Babin 
   
  Extreme Ownership is a book on leadership written by two former U.S. Navy SEALS, Jocko Willink and Leif Babin. They have translated their experiences on the battlefield into actionable steps towards leadership success in the business world. In the book, the authors tell us that leaders are responsible for everything under their care. This means if there is faulty production in the warehouse, dissenting employees, a culture of distrust, or any breakdown along the supply chain it is ultimately the leader’s fault. The title gives away the overarching message of the book – Extreme Ownership. Using anecdotes from their time leading the SEAL Team Three Task Force Bruiser, Jocko and Leif highlight the responsibility of leadership and the character development necessary to lead a well-equipped team. Each chapter begins with a personal military example from their time in Iraq. From these personal stories a leadership principle and application to business is laid out. Time and time again success and failure is placed on the shoulders of the leader, not on those under them. There is no room or space for scapegoating. A leader is called to own up to the responsibility of his or her position. 
   
  Here's what you'll learn about in this audiobook summary: 
   
  If you're in leadership over anyone or seek to one day be, then this book is for you. Maybe you’re the CEO of a company, the point person on a project for school or work, managing volunteers, a pastor, or a parent… We all find ourselves in one leadership role or another. After listening to this summary, you'll have a clear vision of what it takes to be proactive, organized, disciplined, and mission-minded in becoming a true leader.
