Summary

In the clandestine realm of national security, where shadows dance and secrets whisper, lies a hidden world known as the Black Budget. This enigmatic sphere, shrouded in mystery and intrigue, is a labyrinth of unseen operations, experimental technologies, and covert wars waged in the darkest corners of the globe.

Within this hidden realm, untold billions of dollars vanish without a trace, fueling a network of unseen actors who pull the strings of power from behind a veil of secrecy. Unconventional weapons, born from the minds of brilliant scientists and engineers, blur the lines between reality and science fiction. Soldiers, operating in the twilight world between light and darkness, risk their lives for a cause they may never fully comprehend.

The Black Budget is a maze of deception, a labyrinth of misinformation and propaganda, where the truth is obscured by layers of illusion. The public, denied access to this hidden realm, is left to grapple with fragments of information, piecing together a distorted puzzle of reality.

Yet, the price of secrecy is steep. Unintended consequences ripple through the world, leaving a trail of destruction and human suffering. The true cost of hidden operations extends far beyond financial burdens, eroding trust, undermining accountability, and casting a dark shadow over the principles of democracy.

Breaking the cycle of secrecy demands courage, transparency, and a fundamental shift in the way we approach national security. It requires a new era of openness, where the public is empowered with knowledge and oversight mechanisms are strengthened to ensure accountability.

As we navigate the treacherous waters of the Black Budget, we must confront the uncomfortable truths that lie beneath the surface. We must question the unchecked power, the hidden agendas, and the consequences of our actions. Only then can we forge a path towards a brighter future, a world where transparency triumphs over secrecy, and the shadows of the unseen are banished to the light of day.

    Social justice work, we often assume, is raised voices and raised fists. But what does it look like for those of us who don't feel comfortable battling in the trenches? Sustaining justice work can be particularly challenging for the sensitive, and it requires a deep level of self-awareness. 
 
 
 
In Social Justice for the Sensitive Soul, writer Dorcas Cheng-Tozun offers six possible pathways for sensitive types: Connectors: relational activists whose interactions and conversations build the social capital necessary for change; Creatives: artists and creators whose work inspires, sheds light, makes connections, and brings issues into the public consciousness; Record Keepers: archivists who preserve essential information and hold our collective memory and history; Builders: inventors, programmers, and engineers who center empathy as they develop society-changing products and technologies; Equippers: educators, mentors, and elders who build skills and knowledge within movements and shepherd the next generation of changemakers; and Researchers: data-driven individuals who utilize information as a persuasive tool to effect change and propose options for improvement. 
 
 
 
Cheng-Tozun expands the possibilities of how to have a positive social impact, affirming the particular gifts and talents that sensitive souls offer to a hurting world.

    Obscurantism in power When...

    Over the last ten years or so, it has become commonplace to hear talk of an obscurantist threat linked to a rise in irrationality, manifested mainly by a mistrust of vaccination and conventional medicine. But obscurantism can also be found where we pride ourselves on fighting it. In this case, it is no longer the work of marginal or anti-establishment groups, but of a dominant way of thinking that presents itself as that of science and rationality. 
The aim of this book is to lift the veil on this obscurantism in power. Through numerous examples, from impeded research into unexplained phenomena such as near-death experiences, to the vast field of medicine where the pharmaceutical industry has cornered the market on proving the usefulness of a treatment, Brice Perrier reveals how reason is transformed into dogmatism and hinders the advancement of knowledge. 
The aim of the book is not to say what is true or false, nor to settle scientific controversies, but to understand why these debates, which have always been legitimate and even necessary in science, may simply no longer be allowed.

    In 1993, David Koresh and a band of heavily armed evangelical Christians took on the might of the US government. A two-month siege of their compound in Waco, Texas, ended in a firefight that killed seventy-six, including twenty-five children. America is still picking up the pieces, and we still haven't heard the full story. 
 
 
 
Kevin Cook finally provides the full story of what happened at Waco. He gives listeners a taste of Koresh's deadly charisma and takes us behind the scenes at the Branch Davidians' compound, where "the new Christ" turned his followers into servants and sired seventeen children by a dozen "wives." In vivid accounts packed with human drama, Cook harnesses never-reported material to reconstruct the FBI's fifty-one-day siege of the Waco compound in minute-to-minute detail. He sheds new light on the Clinton administration's approval of a lethal governmental assault in a new, definitive account of the firefight that ended so many lives and triggered the rise of today's militia movement. Waco drew the battle lines for American extremists—in Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh's words, "Waco started this war." With help from sources as diverse as Branch Davidian survivors and the FBI's lead negotiator during the siege, Cook draws a straight line from Waco's ashes to the January 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol and insurrections yet to come.

    The Cuban Missile Crisis, one of the most critical moments in the Cold War, did not emerge in isolation but was the culmination of a decades-long geopolitical struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union. The context of this crisis lies deeply within the broader Cold War, which began shortly after the end of World War II. This period was marked by intense ideological rivalry, military standoffs, and a nuclear arms race that would define much of the second half of the 20th century. 
The origins of the Cold War can be traced back to the conflicting political and economic ideologies of the two superpowers. The United States, championing capitalism and democracy, viewed the spread of communism, led by the Soviet Union, as a direct threat to global stability and democratic values. On the other hand, the Soviet Union, under the leadership of Joseph Stalin, sought to expand the reach of communism and solidify its control over Eastern Europe, which had been acquired as a result of the war. This division between the capitalist West and the communist East created a tense geopolitical environment that shaped every diplomatic interaction between the two powers. 
In the early stages of the Cold War, several key events served to heighten the distrust between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The Berlin Blockade in 1948, the Korean War in the early 1950s, and the formation of opposing military alliances like NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and the Warsaw Pact solidified the division of the world into two hostile camps. As both nations escalated their military capabilities, the nuclear arms race emerged as a central aspect of Cold War tensions. The development and stockpiling of nuclear weapons made the Cold War not just an ideological battle but also a dangerous game of survival, with the constant threat of global annihilation hanging over every political and military maneuver.
