    For centuries men have been plotting to bring about a New World Order. From seemingly diverse backgrounds, religions, cultures and even politics, they come together behind the scenes to enact their plan. It was predicted many years ago and has been ongoing. Along the way thousands have built vast fortunes, families become entrenched as the power brokers and authority placed into the hands of a few. 
     
    Throughout time they have followed a cleverly laid out plan that was written down in code, cipher and symbolism thousands of years ago. In this book we will examine their special language in-order to uncover the truth. From the special names to the special numbers, a secret lies hidden and waiting. 
     
    We will reveal the significance of the number of the beast, 666. We will see the truth behind their religious symbols such as the cross and tree and through these see the beast for what it truly is. We will know the one that shall follow. The one they call the anti-Christ, and we shall be amazed. Never in the history of mankind, until now, was it possible to deliver this beast upon the earth. 
     
    The New World Order is ready and it's new messiah about to be revealed.

    There will almost certainly be more pandemics in our future. Yet, during the coronavirus crisis, not a single major public-health official took the simple step of telling Americans what we all need to hear: robust good health?healthy immunity, low inflammation, low toxic burden, and freedom from stealth infection and chronic disease?is our best defense against infectious viral disease. The way our bodies interact with infectious disease is complicated?both a function of the “germ” and the “terrain”?the virus and the host. In The Virus and the Host, Dr. Chlebowski succinctly describes emerging science on the virome and how toxic exposure, chronic inflammation, infections, and chronic diseases interact and predispose us to poor outcomes from acute viral infection. He then clearly outlines the tools needed for better health, including these: -The best nutrients to supercharge your immunity -How to harness the power of botanical medicine -How to detoxify simply and safely at home -Valuable information on simple treatment and recommended diagnostic tests for given conditions As we move forward from the tragedy of COVID-19, it is essential that we come together to learn from our mistakes and work hard?and work together?to prevent a similar crisis in the future. When the next pandemic hits, we need to be better prepared. Now is the time to do something, and it is the best investment we can make so that when the next one hits we can keep our loved ones and ourselves safe and healthy.

    Disappearance of the Surcouf...

    When the Surcouf launched in 1929, it was a technological marvel. This wasn’t a conventional submarine at all, but a 3,300-ton, 300-foot-long submersible light cruiser. Armed not just with torpedoes but also a pair of eight-inch guns, the Surcouf had a range of over 10,000 miles and was equipped with a seaplane in a hanger and a prison capable of holding up to 40 prisoners. When it was launched, the submarine looked like something out of the novels of Jules Verne, and many people believed it would make all existing submarines (and many surface warships) obsolete. However, by the time France found itself at war with Nazi Germany in 1939, the Surcouf was outdated and basically irrelevant, though it was still in active service with the French Navy. 
    When France was defeated by Nazi Germany in June 1940, the majority of French troops and warships ceased fighting. However, some relocated to Britain, the only nation still fighting Germany, to join Free French forces under the command of the charismatic General Charles De Gaulle. The crew of the Surcouf joined the Free French Navy and served from late 1940 to February 1942, when she called in at the British port of Bermuda before sailing for the island of Tahiti, French Polynesia, in the South Pacific. On February 12, the Surcouf left Bermuda en route for Tahiti via the Panama Canal and was never seen again. 
    There have been many theories about what might have happened to the Surcouf and her 130-man crew, ranging from an accidental collision to sabotage and even accidental (or deliberate) attacks by her allies. As a result, the fate of the Surcouf has become one of the most enduring and baffling maritime mysteries, and it still generates a great deal of debate.

    Along with the concepts of social role, social group, social network, social class, and social structure, the notion of impersonality is one of the pillars of the sociological imagination: the ability to think beyond individuals and see them as members of particular social categories. Although almost every sociologist is at least implicitly cognizant of the fundamental contrast between personalness and impersonality, it has yet to be explicitly conceptualized. 
     
     
     
    Don't Take It Personally comprehensively addresses the fundamental distinction between the specific and generic visions of personhood. Over the course of the book, Eviatar Zerubavel articulates the fundamental features of impersonality; the process of producing impersonality; the impersonal logic underlying the notion of individuals as countable quantities; the relationship between modernity and impersonality; and considers what is gained and what is lost by impersonalizing so much of social life. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on fascinating examples from diverse social contexts, Don't Take It Personally introduces a general framework to better understand the deeper connection between seemingly disparate phenomena, from racial profiling and hate crimes to "secret Santa" gifting.
