Elites Unmasked - Lifting the...

John Harpoon

The power brokers of society have always operated behind a veil, their influence stretching across governments, corporations, and cultural institutions. These elites, shrouded in secrecy, wield disproportionate control over the mechanisms that shape our lives. This book seeks to unmask their agendas, exploring how they maintain power and why their influence often goes unchecked. 
The roots of elite societies can be traced to historical alliances forged in the shadows of royal courts, industrial revolutions, and military campaigns. Over centuries, these groups have refined their ability to operate discreetly, creating intricate systems of influence that extend across borders. Far from the eyes of the public, they engineer policies and direct resources to serve their own interests, often at the expense of collective progress. The structures they’ve built are intentionally opaque, ensuring their movements are imperceptible to most. 
At the heart of this hidden web lies the art of control. Through wealth, connections, and manipulation of information, elites craft narratives that preserve their dominance. Media empires, think tanks, and lobbying organizations function as tools to shape public perception. Decisions that impact millions are made in exclusive gatherings, while the outcomes are sold as necessary, even inevitable. The general public, often unaware of these forces, becomes complicit in maintaining the status quo simply by not questioning it.

New Methods of Consciousness...

Timothy Leary

Here is an extremely rare recording from the BetterListen! archives. 
Available in digitlal format for the very first time. 
Recorded in NYC in 1991, this recording reflects the wisdom, foresight and brilliance of Dr Timothy Leary. 
Timothy Leary believed that a psychedelic experience is a journey to new realms of consciousness. The scope and content of the experience is limitless, but its characteristic features are the transcendence of verbal concepts, of spacetime dimensions, and of the ego or identity. Such experiences of enlarged consciousness can occur in a variety of ways: sensory deprivation, yoga exercises, disciplined meditation, religious or aesthetic ecstasies, or spontaneously. 
We hope you enjoy this recording and peak into one of the most interesting minds in recent history.

A powerful, compassionate guide to finding solace when you've lost someone unexpectedly. 
 
 
 
The unexpected death of a loved one is a traumatic, life-altering experience. If you've experienced a sudden loss, your life becomes instantly unrecognizable. In addition to the overwhelming shock, pain, sadness, and grief, you may now feel unsafe in the world, out of control, or unable to carry out basic daily tasks. Most people do not understand what it is like to have a loved one die suddenly or unexpectedly, so it can be challenging to get the support you need. But you are not alone. This gentle workbook can help guide you toward a place of healing and solace. 
 
 
 
The Traumatic Loss Workbook offers an integrative approach drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), emotional regulation skills, mindfulness techniques, and narrative therapy to support you through the grief process, so you can move forward after the sudden or unexpected death of a loved one. You'll also discover strategies for dealing with sudden "grief attacks," and learn how to navigate common emotional triggers such as holidays, birthdays, or anniversaries. Finally, you'll discover skills to help you cope with the deeply emotional and traumatic aspects of your grief—now and in the future.

State of the Union 1984

Ronald Reagan

The 1984 State of the Union address, delivered January 25, 1984, praises “bipartisan cooperation” and says: “For a time we forgot the American dream isn't one of making government bigger; it's keeping faith with the mighty spirit of free people under God.” “Inflation has been beaten down from 12.4 to 3.2 percent…” “Real after-tax income increased 5 percent last year.” “We're seeing rededication to bedrock values of faith, family, work, neighborhood, peace, and freedom…” 
Let us agree on goals to keep America free and secure. Our first goal is vigorous economic growth. “We can begin by limiting the size and scope of government.” The Grace Commission has 2500 recommendations to reduce wasteful spending. Also, the line-item veto which 43 of the 50 States, including California, grant their Governors is a powerful tool against wasteful spending. 
Additional programs are proposed including a permanently manned space station. Tuition tax credits are recommended for parents who pay private school tuition to improve education by increasing competition among schools. School prayer and a law to protect unborn children from abortion are advocated, as are enterprise zones for high-unemployment areas. 
Finally, peace is our great goal and highest aspiration. “The future is best decided by ballots, not bullets.” We will seek concerted action to combat terrorism, and work for “freer world trade, greater competition, and more open markets.” “A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.”  
Carl Sandburg said, “I see America in the crimson light of a rising sun fresh from the burning, creative hand of God… I see great days ahead for men and women of will and vision.''
