  Fifteen Out of the Box Ideas...

  The world is not as we think it is. We are taught standard accepted beliefs from birth and many of them are not correct or a misunderstanding of the truth. 
  Who am I to say so? At this writing I’m nearly seventy years old and I’ve spent my life observing reality as an engineer and explorer of the unknown. 
  I’ve had many weird and paranormal experiences and done lots of research. Many patterns have made themselves known to me and this is why I make these types of statements. 
  This book is an effort to shed light on these misunderstandings and change your perception of the world we live in. 
  Much of what I will relate is based on my subjective experiences and research many would say does not conform to the accepted scientific method yet you will see that my observations make a lot of common sense. 
  Some of these concepts have been around for thousands of years but are not commonly accepted today. My effort is to show you why these ideas are likely true and how these concepts also are built on to provide new understandings. 
  At the end of each chapter logic is provided on how general belief in these new ideas will change humanity. 
  My hope is that by the end of this book you the reader will open your mind more about many things which are strange but possibly true.

  Code Red - The Left the Right...

  A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 
  “One of the most important books in years.” - #1 NYT Bestselling Author Peter Schweizer 
  “Code Red is a must-read.” – Sen. Marsha Blackburn, TIME’s 100 Most Influential People in AI  
  “Illuminating…alarming…essential.” – Michael Shellenberger, Award-Winning Investigative Journalist  
  You don't get to opt out of the AI revolution. The decision has already been made for you. 
  Elon Musk calls artificial intelligence a “supersonic tsunami” headed toward humanity. Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman warns that in as little as 12 to 18 months, AI could automate nearly every task white collar workers perform. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says that within the next 12 months to five years, AI could unleash a jobs bloodbath that disrupts half of all entry-level white-collar jobs. 
  So, as President Donald Trump leads the nation through AI’s seismic shifts, Americans are left asking the defining question of our time: Is AI hype or hope, promise or peril, existential threat or the next great technological leap toward prosperity and human flourishing? 
  The answer will affect everything, because AI is not just about jobs. It will shape whether our children are educated or indoctrinated. Whether people form relationships with other human beings or with machines. How and what we worship. And who lives or dies on the battlefield as AI warfare accelerates. 
  All of it will shock-test our civic order. 
  And whether we are ready or not, you do not get to opt out of the AI revolution. That decision has already been made for you. 
  Today, 99% of Americans use AI—even if most of us don’t realize it. For conservatives, this is a Code Red moment. Big Tech is quietly hard-coding left-wing ideology into the algorithms that now govern daily life. The Left is already weaponizing AI while conservatives sleepwalk straight into calamity, unless they're ready for what's coming. 
  In Code Red, Breitbart social media director Wynton Hall exposes where that power hides, how it operates, how conservatives can navigate the AI political battlescape, avert its landmines, and turn peril into promise. AI decides what you see and what gets censored. It’s quietly rewiring our whole way of life. The solution? Americans need a “code”: a set of principles and solutions rooted in the red political worldview to navigate the upheaval and stay ahead. 
  Inside Code Red, you will discover: 
  - Why AI is wired for woke indoctrination—and how to resist it. 
  - How elites plan to weaponize AI job losses to push dependency. 
  - How America can beat China without becoming China. 
  - How to prepare your kids for the blinding speed of AI disruption. 
  - The new national security threats AI unleashes—and how we defend against them. 
  - Why “AI girlfriends” are luring millions—and what it will take to preserve authentic human connection. 
  - How AI will test faith and meaning—and why spiritual renewal may be its most surprising outcome. 
  Urgent, deeply researched, and written with page-turner elegance, Code Red is the conservative battle plan for the AI era. Either we wake up and fight back, or we lose everything that made America free.

  As the Stage Turned - A Front...

  Sammy Davis, Jr. opened it. Luther Vandross closed it. During the 19 years in between, a who’s who of the world’s top entertainers and speakers performed on the novel revolving stage of the Front Row Theatre, from Liberace to Alice Cooper, Jay Leno to Jerry Seinfeld, Marlene Dietrich to Dolly Parton, Presidents Ford and Carter and culinary grand dame Julia Child. Many were unknown opening acts, like Whitney Houston. Another, the legendary Roy Orbison, would unknowingly perform the final concert of his life there. 
  Cleveland Landmarks Press’ newest release, As the Stage Turned: A Front Row Theatre Memoir, captures the dynamic energy that sprung from one of the most unique entertainment venues in the country – a theater-in-the-round located in the sleepy suburb of Highland Heights, just outside of Cleveland. 
  Jeannie Emser Schultz, the venue’s longtime former director of marketing and publicity, has written a memoir capturing the star power and draw of the Front Row. It’s an homage to seemingly everything related to show business and the cultural significance of that famed theater that drew the biggest and brightest stars of its day. 
  For instance, where else would you learn that several days into Sammy Davis’s opening run at the Front Row in 1974, he received a phone call threatening his life? Or that the only way Frank Sinatra would agree to perform there was if he and his entire entourage could rent out the Shaker Heights home of Larry Dolin, the founder and president of the Front Row? Or that comedian Bob Newhart always kept a nude picture on his dressing room table of Anthony Newley looking backwards through his legs (Newhart told Emser Schultz it was one of the funniest pictures he ever saw)? 
  Emser Schultz’s narrative takes readers on a detailed and behind-the-scenes firsthand journey of the almost 20-year history of what was considered one of America’s most significant entertainment venues. Revisit your own fond memories of a lost Cleveland classic.

  CIA’s Most Controversial...

  Editors Charles River

  Though it might be hard to believe, the Americans did not have a covert operations organization when they joined World War II, and like the British, it took them some time to realize it could be a powerful tool. As a result, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) was not established until June 13, 1942, six months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Nevertheless, during World War II, all the hard work in the United States led to the growth of the OSS into an organization with over 13,000 staff and 40 offices scattered across the world. Its purposes were initially similar to that of Britain’s Special Operations Executive, including espionage, sabotage, and intelligence assessments, but with time and experience, it expanded to include economic, psychological, and guerrilla warfare, as well as counter-intelligence work. And of course, it would all chart a path for the early days of America’s most famous intelligence agency, the CIA.  
  The agency has done some good things, and it has inarguably done some bad things. Naturally, people tend to remember the most controversial operations, from CIA-funded revolutions to the Bay of Pigs and domestic experiments such as the mysterious Project MK-Ultra. Many decisions were made, either by the agency or by those elected to give the agency direction, in the raw emotions of the Cold War, and this also colored many of the decisions. Regardless, well after Allen Dulles’ tenure as the CIA’s director, investigations uncovered the facts that the CIA did not merely operate overseas, but also conducted several operations against American citizens, which Dulles both knew about and approved.  
  This book looks at the operations that continue to fascinate, confuse, and disgust modern society, from the people who managed the operations to the results.
