BECOMING ALPHA : TUNING INTO THE...

Nader Hantour

Becoming Alpha: Tuning the First Signal 
A groundbreaking guide to inner power, presence, and the rhythm that shapes reality. 
  
What if the real alpha isn't the loudest in the room — but the most in tune? 
  
In this powerful blend of science, ancient wisdom, and modern insight, Nader Hantour redefines what it means to be "alpha." Forget dominance and ego. Becoming Alpha reveals a deeper truth: the original alpha is a frequency — a calm, clear, creative state of mind and body that unlocks presence, clarity, and quiet leadership. 
  
Drawing from neuroscience, mythology, meditation, and altered states, this book offers a fresh path to power — not through control, but through coherence. 
  
Inside, you'll discover: 
  
• The truth about alpha brainwaves — and how to access them 
• How to tune your nervous system for clarity, flow, and focus 
• Ancient practices that align your mind, body, and energy 
• Why real leadership begins in silence, not struggle 
• A practical toolkit to live from the alpha state — every day 
  
Whether you're an entrepreneur, artist, seeker, or leader in the making, this book will help you stop performing and start tuning. 
  
Becoming Alpha isn't about changing who you are. It's about remembering the rhythm you were born with.

Benito Mussolini - Facist Terror

Geoffrey Giuliano

“It’s better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep.” 
 
"I am the most terrible animal that's ever existed." 
 
"Democracy is beautiful in theory; in practice, it is a fallacy. You in America will see that someday." 
 
"It's good to trust others but, not to do so is much better." 
 
“I feel, when we have no friends upon whom to lean, or to look for moral guidance." (Mussolini) 
 
Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini, born on July 29, 1883, who went by the nickname “Il Duce” (“the Leader”), was a deeply unbalanced tyrannical Italian dictator who created the dreaded Fascist Party in 1919. Eventually, he held all power in Italy as the country’s prime minister from 1922 to 1943. An ardent socialist as a youth, Mussolini followed in his father's political footsteps but was expelled by the party for his overt support of World War I. As an evil dictator during World War II (even murdering his own son by lethal injection) he greatly overextended his forces and was eventually killed by his own people in Mezzegra, Italy. Here, for the first time, are the words of the great dictator himself in his twisted manifesto on the political movement he started and is still so feared to this very day.
