This Creative Life - A Handbook...

Sara Zarr

There are a lot of books about writing out there. If you’re like most writers, you’ve just about read them all. But learning how to write (and organize and outline and plot and edit and save the cat and market a breakout book) is one thing. Making and living a sustainable creative life in the face of...everything...is an entirely different matter. To know how to do that, we need to take a look at what goes on between the lines of our lives as writers so that we can live them with maybe a little more thought and intention--no matter the many interior and exterior obstacles that can threaten to derail our purpose. 
In this companion book to her long-running podcast, Sara Zarr brings her sixteen-year publishing career and experience as a speaker, teacher, and mentor to a conversational and encouraging collection of hard-won insights about what it means not to just write (and perchance to publish), but to be a writer.

The Illuminati Mayhem & Murder -...

Frank White

"The Illuminati Mayhem & Murder" by Frank White delves into the enigmatic and often misunderstood world of the Illuminati, the secret society that has captivated imaginations and sparked controversies for centuries. This comprehensive volume combines White's two groundbreaking works, providing an unparalleled exploration of the group's far-reaching influence, intricate power structures, and alleged involvement in pivotal historical events.
In "Who Are The Illuminati," White critically examines the truths and myths surrounding this secretive organization. From their rumored control over global events to their purported ties with influential families like the Rockefellers and Rothschilds, the book investigates the depth of the Illuminati's influence. Are they the puppet masters of the world's elite, shaping politics, entertainment, and media? Or is their notoriety a product of misinterpretation and conspiracy theories?
"The Illuminati's Greatest Hits" takes a darker turn, unveiling the alleged covert operations and brutal tactics employed by the Illuminati to maintain their stronghold. From orchestrating revolutions and wars to the high-profile assassinations of Lincoln, Kennedy, and other key figures, White explores how these events fit into the larger puzzle of the New World Order. The book questions the extent of their manipulation and their relentless pursuit of global domination, shedding light on the sinister side of this enigmatic group.
Together, these narratives form "The Illuminati Mayhem & Murder," a book that not only uncovers the layers of secrecy surrounding the Illuminati but also challenges the reader to question the very fabric of modern history. It's an essential read for anyone intrigued by the shadowy intersection of power, conspiracy, and the clandestine forces shaping our world.

State looters Again and again

Philippe Pascot

On September 15, 2017, in front of millions of television viewers, Emmanuel Macron, with François Bayrou, his Keeper of the Seals at the time, delivered his first lie: “It is now impossible to be elected when you have a B2 criminal record”. Nothing could be further from the truth: in 2025, it is still possible to stand for election and be elected after having been convicted by the courts, whereas there are 396 jobs requiring a clean criminal record. Ten years after the best-seller Pilleurs d'État (State Looters), which sold 120,000 copies, Philippe Pascot takes stock of the progress and setbacks in French politics, listing all the legal abuses still available to the political class: exorbitant salaries and associated expenses, tax exemptions, multiple pensions, fictitious employment, exceptional justice, show trials, bogus declarations of interest and activities, and so many other little arrangements between friends... For Philippe Pascot, the findings are indisputable: “Behind a declared desire for transparency and moralization in the political sphere, our elected representatives continue to nurture their own interests through laws that are less and less comprehensible, in order to escape criminal prosecution and drape themselves in a circumstantial innocence. ”
