Weaponizing Non-Human Technology...

Brian Anderson

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. WEAPONIZING NON-HUMAN TECHNOLOGY: A Groundbreaking Investigation Into The Biggest Cover-Up In American History. When decorated military officers testify under oath about crash retrievals and non-human technology, when intelligence officials risk careers to expose illegal programs, when defense contractors kill disclosure legislation—this isn't science fiction. It's the biggest cover-up in American history.

Featured on Apple TV, History Channel, Amazon Prime Video and Hulu!

THIS ISN'T ABOUT ALIENS. IT'S ABOUT POWER, MONEY, AND CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS. This isn't about whether extraterrestrial life exists. It's about who controls the technology and who profits from keeping it secret.

Meet the Whistleblowers: David Grusch, intelligence officer whose crash retrieval testimony was deemed credible and urgent. Commander David Fravor, Top Gun pilot who witnessed the Tic Tac UAP. Ryan Graves, fighter pilot who encountered UAPs daily. Luis Elizondo, Pentagon official who ran the secret UFO program. Plus Chris Mellon, George Knapp, Ross Coulthart, and more.
What This Investigation Reveals: How Special Access UAP Programs operate beyond congressional oversight with billions in untraceable spending. The five observables that define UAP technology. Why Mike Turner and Mike Rogers gutted the UAP Disclosure Act after receiving millions from defense contractors. What's been weaponized from reverse-engineering at Skunk Works. The constitutional crisis of secret programs spending taxpayer money.

FOLLOW THE MONEY. FOLLOW THE BLOCKERS. FOLLOW THE TRUTH. Based on sworn congressional testimony exposing financial incentives driving secrecy. Featured in Dan Farah's documentary Age of Disclosure on Amazon Prime Video. The secrecy system is collapsing.

Dying Green - A Journey through...

Christine Vatovec

The slow violence being inflicted on our environment—through everything from carbon emissions to plastic pollution—also represents an impending public health catastrophe. Yet standard health care practices are more concerned with short-term outcomes than long-term sustainability. Every resource used to deliver medical care, from IV tubes to antibiotics to electricity, has a significant environmental impact. This raises an urgent ethical dilemma: in striving to improve the health outcomes of individual patients, are we damaging human health on a global scale? 
 
 
  
In Dying Green, award-winning educator Christine Vatovec offers an engaging study that asks us to consider the broader environmental sustainability of health care. Through a comparative analysis of the care provided to terminally ill patients in a conventional cancer ward, a palliative care unit, and an acute-care hospice facility, she shows how decisions made at a patient's bedside govern the environmental footprint of the healthcare industry. Likewise, Dying Green offers insights on the many opportunities that exist for reducing the ecological impacts of medical practices in general, while also enhancing care for the dying in particular. By envisioning a more sustainable approach to care, this book offers a way forward that is better for both patients and the planet.
