    [How to Be Sad] invites readers into an intimate exploration of grief's geography, where sadness isn't a failure of happiness but a complete state of being.

    The history of civil rights in America is deeply intertwined with the nation’s founding principles, yet it is also defined by contradictions that stem from its treatment of African Americans. Slavery, which was institutionalized from the country’s early days, placed millions of African people in bondage and marked the beginning of a long struggle for racial equality. Enslaved individuals were considered property rather than people, denied basic human rights, and subjected to a life of forced labor and brutality. This practice was vital to the economic growth of the southern states, where plantations relied on enslaved labor to produce cash crops like cotton, tobacco, and sugar. The dehumanizing nature of slavery created an enduring racial hierarchy that persisted even after its formal abolition. 
    The end of the Civil War in 1865, with the passage of the 13th Amendment, theoretically liberated enslaved people. However, the promise of freedom was not immediately realized, as the southern states passed a series of laws known as Black Codes. These laws sought to maintain white dominance by severely limiting the rights and freedoms of African Americans. The Black Codes restricted mobility, employment opportunities, and legal protections, pushing many freedmen and women back into forced labor through sharecropping arrangements that mirrored slavery in many ways. Despite these setbacks, African Americans began to organize, laying the groundwork for future civil rights movements.

    Mankind across the world has been imprisoned. They called it lockdown. We have been terrified into submission. Words like 'pandemic' and images of horror have been thrust upon us. It is all a scam. A lie. It is part of a long-term plot to control, manipulate and enslave mankind. A divided world has been brought together under a common threat and it is just the beginning. 
     
    There are massive, global revolutions being created and fostered by a powerful, dark and sinister group that have directed the sheep for countless generations. Very soon you will be asked to do things you would never have contemplated before and you will do them gladly. This is the story of how your freedoms and liberties are being taken away from you without you even caring. In fact you will be happy to lose them. And all because of a small virus created by that same elite group and let loose upon mankind for a very malevolent end. 
     
    George Orwell said: "Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind." This book will prove that he was right all along…

    Why did the Biden White House celebrate Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter Sunday? Why is the bureaucracy prioritizing electric vehicles and less reliable forms of energy when Americans struggle to pay the bills amid historic inflation and higher gas prices? 
     
     
     
    America's bureaucrats appear to live on a different planet from the working class in this country, and that's no accident. The Woketopus explains how America's elites are pulling the strings in Washington to prioritize their pet projects over the needs of the American people. O'Neil's prose reveals how the left's NGO apparatus pursues its woke agenda, maneuvering like an octopus by circumventing Congress and entrenching its interests in the federal government. 
     
     
     
    Discover how the donors who helped prop up the anti-Israel protests on college campuses are impacting policy in Washington; pull back the curtain on how federal agencies became engines of cultural change; and find out how the Left's dark money influences federal law enforcement to demonize conservatives in an attempt to silence anyone who wants to criticize this agenda.
