  From 1845 to 1852, the Great Hunger, also referred to as the Potato Famine, was a period of a lot of starvation and illness in Ireland. The period was known in Irish at the time as a Drochshaol, loosely translated as "the hard days," with the most badly affected districts in the west and south of Ireland, where the Irish language was popular (or actually "the bad life"). 
  The year 1847, at times called "Black '47," was the absolute worst year of the period. Around 1 million people died and over a million left the nation throughout the Great Famine, triggering the nation's population to come by 20% to 25%, with certain cities coming by as much as 67 percent between 1841 and 1851. And between the years 1845 and 1855, about 2.1 million people were leaving Ireland, primarily aboard package ships but also on steamboats and barks. This actually made it one of the biggest mass migrations from a single isle in all of history. 
  Let’s explore this tragic event in history, and let’s see what led up to this, what happened afterwards, and how historians look at it now.

  The Golden Age Awakens: The Lost Truth of Humanity 
  UNVEIL THE TRUTH THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW 
  Beneath the thin veneer of recorded history lies a forgotten reality—one so profound it would shatter our understanding of human civilization. 
  • The spectacular truth about the Dacian civilization—guardians of cosmic knowledge that predates recorded history • Secret underground chambers discovered in Romania's Bucegi Mountains containing technology beyond our current scientific understanding • Ancient sound technology that could manipulate consciousness, matter, and even time itself • Evidence of deliberate historical falsification by powers determined to keep humanity disconnected from its true heritage • The hidden matriarchal wisdom tradition that preserved crucial knowledge through millennia of persecution

  "The most explosive revelation of hidden history since 'Fingerprints of the Gods.' Julei connects dots that rewire your understanding of human potential." – Readers are saying 
  Are you ready to discover what was lost? What if everything you thought you knew about human history was built on carefully constructed lies? 
  THE GOLDEN AGE AWAKENS is not just a book—it's the key to unlocking your connection to humanity's extraordinary forgotten legacy.

  Escaping the Gulags: The History...

  One of the most idiosyncratic horrors of Soviet Russia was the Gulag system, an extensive network of forced labor and concentration camps. Part of the rationale behind this system was that it could serve as slave labor in the drive for industrialization, while also serving as a form of punishment. The name Gulag is in fact an acronym, approximating to “Main Administration of Camps” (in Russian: Glavnoe Upravlenie Lagerei) and operated by the Soviet Union’s Ministry of the Interior.[1] The Gulag consisted of internment camps, forced labor camps, psychiatric hospital facilities, and special laboratories, and its prisoners were known as zeks. Such was the closed and secretive nature of the Soviet state that to this day, knowledge of the Gulag system comes mainly from Western studies, firsthand accounts by prisoners such as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, and some local studies after the fall of communism. 
  	The most recognisable version of the Gulag, a term that was never pluralized in Russia itself, existed from the 1930s-1950s, a period in which a huge network of camps and prisons was established across the vast Soviet federation. Prisoners were often used as forced labor, made to do physically arduous and soul-destroying tasks. Some workers helped to build large infrastructure projects, and indeed the system was partly rationalized in terms of economics.  
  	By the early 1960s, Gulags were synonymous with various forms of punishments, including house arrest, imprisonment in isolated places, or confinement to a mental hospital where a prisoner would be declared insane or diagnosed with a “political” form of psychosis. In its later years, the Gulags held a particular place in the public’s imagination, both within the USSR and in the outside world. They could mean exile, brutal punishment, or simply being banished to Siberia.

  Neighborhood Defenders -...

  Since the collapse of the housing market in 2008, demand for housing has consistently outpaced supply in many US communities. The failure to construct sufficient housing—especially affordable housing—in desirable communities and neighborhoods comes with significant social, economic, and environmental costs. This book examines how local participatory land use institutions amplify the power of entrenched interests and privileged homeowners. The book draws on sweeping data to examine the dominance of land use politics by "neighborhood defenders"—individuals who oppose new housing projects far more strongly than their broader communities and who are likely to be privileged on a variety of dimensions. Neighborhood defenders participate disproportionately and take advantage of land use regulations to restrict the construction of multifamily housing. The result is diminished housing stock and higher housing costs, with participatory institutions perversely reproducing inequality.
