Is Shakespeare Dead?

Mark Twain

"Is Shakespeare Dead?" by Mark Twain is a reflective and satirical treatise on the authorship of Shakespeare’s works, written during the early 20th century. In this work, Twain grapples with long-standing debates over who truly wrote the plays attributed to Shakespeare, questioning the historical record and delving into the inconsistencies surrounding the poet's life. The narrative combines Twain's autobiographical anecdotes with a sharp critique of literary pretensions and the human tendency to believe in grand claims without substantial evidence. The opening of the book introduces Twain's perspective on the elusive nature of historical truths, particularly regarding Shakespeare. He shares recollections of discussions with a passionate pilot named Ealer, who held firm beliefs about Shakespeare's authorship, which Twain initially supported. However, as the dialogue progresses, Twain's skepticism grows, leading him to adopt a more nuanced stance. He reflects on the contradictions in Shakespeare's background and the scant evidence of his literary genius, positing that the legendary figure may not have penned such profound works. This mix of humor and critique sets the stage for Twain's examination of the broader implications of literary legends and the nature of belief itself.

Governing by chaos - Social...

Lucien Cerise

Given the growing success of this book, first published in 2009 and then updated in 2014, this third edition has been fully revised and updated by the author, incorporating the latest expressions of social chaos, instrumentalized by the powers that be for the past eight years.
How to become the masters of the world in the age of the Internet? The good-old method of the pyromaniac fireman still works. Renamed “shock strategy” or social engineering, it consists of plunging populations into crisis and anguish to better centralize order and power in the hands of an oligarchy usurping the identity of the savior. In the twentieth century, politics has moved from the art of persuasion to technical issues of hacking minds and optimizing group management. To that end, several disciplines and approaches are applied—cybernetics, marketing, management—to trap the masses into organized chaos, while they try to respond to the panic provoked by a transhumanist computer dictatorship based on biometrics, the all-digital, the vaccine pass, and eventually the suppression of cash and privacy.

Greenbrier Bunker The: The...

Charles River Editors

In October 1962, American spy planes discovered the Soviets were building nuclear missile sites in Cuba, and intelligence officials informed President John F. Kennedy of this on October 16th. It went without saying that nuclear missile sites located just miles off the coast of the American mainland posed a grave threat to the country, especially because missiles launched from Cuba would reach their targets in mere minutes. That would throw off important military balances in nuclear arms and locations that had previously ensured the Cold War stayed cold. Almost all senior American political figures agreed that the sites were offensive and needed to be removed, but how? Ultimately, Kennedy's administration crafted an eventual plan that sought to avoid all-out war: a blockade of Cuba.
In the weeks and months following the crisis, Kennedy sought to ease nuclear tensions. By 1963, the first agreement was signed to limit the testing of nuclear devices, and the habit of secretly taping all meetings, phone calls, and other communications continued, due to the great assistance the practice had provided throughout the crisis.
As it turned out, October 1962 was probably the closest the Soviet Union and United States came to formally engaging in a war against each other, but of course, the possibility of a destructive nuclear war had been contemplated years before the Cuban Missile Crisis. That doomsday scenario is precisely why the federal government was working on a secret nuclear fallout bunker underneath the Greenbrier Hotel in West Virginia in the years preceding the crisis. Its existence would remain a secret for decades until being declassified shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and to this day the bunker remains both a source of curiosity and mystery.
