  A devious speakeasy owner. A crooked undertaker. A cunning bartender. A psychotic cabbie. A hapless greengrocer. A notorious thug.
  And one Irishman who came to be known as 'Iron Mike'.
  Set around New York's Prohibition-era speakeasy scene in the 1930s in what became known as 'the most grotesque chain of events in New York criminal history', The Many Murders of Michael Malloy is the tragic true story of six low-rent, desperate and extraordinarily incompetent murderers and one lonely Irish emigrant of exceptional fortitude and resilience.
  Poisoned, frozen, knocked down twice – Malloy survived it all, until he didn't.
  This is the utterly compelling, stranger-than-fiction story of the most infamous Irish murder you've never heard of.

  The book shares evidence that the Anunnaki's influence extends beyond the realms of mythology and religion, shaping the very foundations of our understanding of reality, consciousness, and the nature of the self. By exploring the connections between the Anunnaki, shamanic practices, psychedelic experiences, and modern pursuits such as artificial intelligence and transhumanism, Anunnaki Revelation aims to trace the origins and trajectory of transformative impact these gods had on the human experience.Who were the Anunnaki? Were they benevolent guides or malevolent manipulators, and what will the answer mean for our understanding of the nature of reality?Was the Anunnaki's wisdom transmitted to early civilizations, then preserved and passed down through secret societies and occult practices?Were psychedelics, shamanic practices, and altered states of consciousness used to communicate with the Anunnaki and other entities? Are they still? 
  Anunnaki Revelation examines the Anunnaki in a new light, as discarnate entities who played a crucial role in the development of human consciousness and civilization by communicating advanced knowledge to the leaders of a lost civilization.

  Memory and Hindsight Distortions...

  This book contains these topics: 
  - The Hindsight Bias: Hindsight bias, often referred to as the "knew-it-all-along" effect, is the cognitive phenomenon in which people perceive past events as having been more predictable than they actually were. After an event has occurred, individuals tend to believe they foresaw the outcome, even though there was no reasonable way to predict it at the time. This bias can distort our memories, judgments, and perceptions, leading us to think that we knew the outcome of a situation from the very beginning, even though the reality is quite different. 
  - The Mere Exposure Effect: The Mere Exposure Effect is a psychological phenomenon where repeated exposure to a stimulus leads to an increased preference for that stimulus. This effect occurs without any active engagement or deep processing from the individual. Simply put, the more we encounter something, the more likely we are to develop a liking for it, even if we don’t consciously realize why. This effect can apply to a wide range of stimuli, from people and objects to sounds, images, and even ideas. The central principle behind this concept is that familiarity breeds fondness.

  Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; 21 April 1926 – 8 September 2022) was Queen of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms from 6 February 1952 until her death in 2022. She was queen regnant of 32 sovereign states during her lifetime, and was head of state of 15 realms at the time of her death. Her reign of 70 years and 214 days was the longest of any British monarch and the longest verified reign of any female monarch in history. 
   
  The following recording includes two of Queen (then Princess) Elizabeth' most important speeches: In 1940, Princess Elizabeth was tasked with an important job by Prime Minister Winston Churchill to give a morale-boosting radio speech to her weary subjects during WWII from historic Windsor Castle; and Princess Elizabeth's powerful 21st birthday message delivered on April 21, 1947.
