    This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
     
    Over a vast period of time men have plotted for control over other men. Using religion, politics and secret societies they have manipulated history itself. 
     
    Thousands have built vast fortunes and special families become entrenched as the power brokers with authority placed into the hands of a few. 
     
    Their plan was written down in code, cipher and symbolism thousands of years ago. 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 and 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.

    Normal Broken - The Grief...

    In Normal Broken, Kelly Cervantes isn't trying to tell you what to do, how to feel, or the right way to heal. She's also not flinging sunny thoughts, vibes, and prayers at you. After losing her daughter to epilepsy, she knows that grief is many things. Something everyone will have to deal with. But never linear. Just as what we are grieving varies, so do our journeys to process it. 
     
     
     
    Normal Broken was born out of this desire to meet people where they are in their grief journeys, to lend a hand, or maybe to just sit in the dark with them. 
     
     
     
    Normal Broken is divided into "moments" of grief that will allow you to choose what you need at any given time—such as: 
     
     
     
    ● When you're not sure if you want to heal 
     
     
     
    ● When you're facing anniversaries and other meaningful dates 
     
     
     
    ● When you're ready to be okay 
     
     
     
    Kelly also shares stories from her ongoing journey, along with advice she wishes someone had given her. Normal Broken is designed to serve as a companion through your own grief journey, whether you are mourning the loss of a child, a friend, a family member, or anyone special in your life.

    For some of us, the family is a source of love and support. But for many others, the family is a place of private horror, coercion, and personal domination. In a capitalist society, the private family carries the impossible demands of interpersonal care and social reproductive labor. Can we imagine a different future? 
     
     
     
    In Family Abolition, author M. E. O'Brien uncovers the history of struggles to create radical alternatives to the private family. O'Brien traces the changing family politics of racial capitalism in the industrial cities of Europe and the slave plantations and settler frontier of North America, explaining the rise and fall of the housewife-based family form. From early Marxists to Black and queer insurrectionists to today's mass protest movements, O'Brien finds revolutionaries seeking better ways of loving, caring, and living. Family Abolition takes us through the past and present of family politics into a speculative future of the commune, imagining how care could be organized in a free society.
