We Are Being Controlled

Phil G

Mankind across the world has been imprisoned. They called it lockdown. We have been terrified into submission. Words like 'pandemic' and images of horror have been thrust upon us. It is all a scam. A lie. It is part of a long-term plot to control, manipulate and enslave mankind. A divided world has been brought together under a common threat and it is just the beginning. 
 
There are massive, global revolutions being created and fostered by a powerful, dark and sinister group that have directed the sheep for countless generations. Very soon you will be asked to do things you would never have contemplated before and you will do them gladly. This is the story of how your freedoms and liberties are being taken away from you without you even caring. In fact you will be happy to lose them. And all because of a small virus created by that same elite group and let loose upon mankind for a very malevolent end. 
 
George Orwell said: "Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind." This book will prove that he was right all along…

How to Be Sad

Olivia Werner

[How to Be Sad] invites readers into an intimate exploration of grief's geography, where sadness isn't a failure of happiness but a complete state of being. With lyrical precision and raw honesty, this meditation on melancholy challenges our culture's relentless pursuit of joy, offering instead a profound understanding of how sadness shapes our internal landscapes. Through delicate observations of daily life—the way light filters through curtains, how time bends around grief, the small rituals we create to anchor ourselves—the book illuminates the unexpected wisdom that comes from embracing our darker emotions. Like the fog that settles between buildings at dawn, this work wraps itself around the reader's consciousness, transforming our understanding of what it means to navigate the full spectrum of human emotion.
