This is the true story of a young child growing up with adversities, incredible deception, juvenile delinquency, and placed in several California state prisons. After serving 34 years in state prison for murder in the second degree, I have returned back to society as a productive citizen.
Art forgeries are everywhere, in museums, exhibition halls, galleries. Why? Because forgeries are made with the complicity of the artists themselves (sometimes), through the collusion of the deceased artists' families (very often), and with the connivance of experts and gallery owners the world over (all the time). Eric Piedoie Le Tiec was a forger for 30 years and spent 10 years behind bars. In this extraordinary story of one of the main forgers of the last forty years, we discover the hidden world of the art market. Miró, Toulouse-Lautrec, Dufy, Chagall, Arman... and above all César, all the great masters pass through. The undisputed king of forgery created thousands of forgeries—of all the great masters—enriching many art dealers. “Everyone knew what we were doing, in Nice, Copenhagen, New York, Antwerp, Shanghai, but everyone kept quiet because there was a lot of money to be made.” The art racket finally exposed! Eric Piedoie Le Tiec, 63 years old, is today a gallery owner and art dealer in Grasse, on the French Riviera. This audiobook is read by a synthesized voice.Ver libro

Chantal Frei (pseudonym) who grew up in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, was only six years old when Satanists decided to make her into a Mother of Darkness. At that time, she had already survived massive torture – which was the reason why the cult considered her to be strong, smart, and intelligent enough to be trained by the Illuminati. Today, Chantal Frei is able to speak out about her experiences as a survivor of satanic ritual abuse, spiritual abuse, and mind control in order to help others by providing insight and knowledge. The information provided in this book is by far not complete as the author can only share what she herself has experienced and understood. She states: "More and more I realize, that with my book, I can only scratch the surface of this topic." Nonetheless, her personal account is unique and important. Chantal Frei is the first survivor with a German-speaking background who has been this deep in the inner circle of the Illuminati and has mustered enough courage to speak out about it. During cruel rituals, she met with heads of state, nobles, and celebrities. Therefore, she was taken to well-known places – such as the White House and a famous Spanish basilica – but also got into secret military facilities and a remote castle in Belgium. These places and people, some of which are also mentioned by other survivors, illustrate the terrifying extent of an abysmally dark phenomenon known as ritual abuse. Chantal Frei wants to help bring light into this darkness.Ver libro
In the spring of 2000, a sixteen-year-old girl carrying a mop at a Palm Beach private club was noticed by a well-dressed woman across a courtyard. That five-minute conversation changed everything. Virginia Roberts Giuffre was recruited into one of the most protected sex trafficking operations in American history — a network built by financier Jeffrey Epstein and his partner Ghislaine Maxwell, sustained by extreme wealth, and shielded by the most powerful social connections money could assemble. Presidents. Princes. Nobel laureates. Billionaires. Their names were in the flight logs. Their numbers were in the address book. For years, none of it mattered. This is the story of what happened inside that network, how it survived for decades behind closed gates and sealed courtrooms, and how one woman — threatened, litigated, and dismissed at every turn — refused to allow the people responsible to outlast her silence. Drawing entirely from court records, federal indictments, sworn depositions, and verified investigative journalism, this book documents the full arc of Virginia Giuffre's life — from a fractured childhood to a global trafficking operation, through twenty years of institutional failure, partial reckoning, and the incomplete justice that followed.Ver libro
