  The book Coming Together provides hope and an action plan for us to work together and fix many of the problems in our country. 
  The U.S. used to provide affordable healthcare, and education. Our people supported workers' rights. We used to invest in our people. We are being told that we can't do those things, and gaslit into thinking that the crippling healthcare and educational debt being forced upon is our fault. 
  Too many times we have used fear to dehumanize people because of the color of their skin, or sexual preference. 
  Many of our politicians gain tremendous wealth and power by keeping us divided and hopeless. 
  We have fought hard to conquer these problems before, and we can do it again. We can work together towards a more honest and just society. We can repair the damage done to our society from the lies we have been told.

  Oqual Cycle In A Nutshell The:...

  With much of the world having been in a precipitous meltdown over the past couple of decades and continuing to hit a new low with each passing year with no end in sight, one wonders whether this is the new normal or whether the ongoing madness will eventually end so as to usher in a brighter dawn. 
  Fortunately, Mother Nature has blessed us with a hitherto unknown phenomenon dubbed the “oqual cycle” that helps us to revitalize our society after we have gone astray as is the case across much of the globe today—coined from Latin, the adjective "oqual" literally means "84-year".  
  In a manner that the daily cycle lends us an indispensable mechanism for recharging our batteries during the night after a hectic day at work, the oqual cycle is equally necessary to reboot our society after it becomes corrupted and choppy over what appears to be a period of 84 years on average. 
  Since our childhood, we have not only heard ad nauseam the cliché that history is cyclical but it has also been shoved down our throat time and again.   
  Well, our gurus and mentors were truly onto something in that we now know that history is in fact oquacyclical—it repeats exactly 84 years on average courtesy of the unavoidable spell of oqual cycle on our precarious civilization.  
  In short, the oqual cycle serves as a model par excellence for making sense of the ongoing sociopolitical trials-and-tribulations of our own times that in no small part elicit a wistful yearning for the rather sweet memories of our recent past from the second half of the 20th century.  
  Why has humanity lost its moral compass today?  
  Why are our leaders clueless about how to change course?  
  How will the ongoing madness around the globe end?  
  Are we teetering on the brink of a nuclear armageddon?  
  When will the good old days return?  
  The oqual cycle has you covered from every angle.

  Waco Rising - David Koresh the...

  In 1993, David Koresh and a band of heavily armed evangelical Christians took on the might of the US government. A two-month siege of their compound in Waco, Texas, ended in a firefight that killed seventy-six, including twenty-five children. America is still picking up the pieces, and we still haven't heard the full story. 
   
   
   
  Kevin Cook finally provides the full story of what happened at Waco. He gives listeners a taste of Koresh's deadly charisma and takes us behind the scenes at the Branch Davidians' compound, where "the new Christ" turned his followers into servants and sired seventeen children by a dozen "wives." In vivid accounts packed with human drama, Cook harnesses never-reported material to reconstruct the FBI's fifty-one-day siege of the Waco compound in minute-to-minute detail. He sheds new light on the Clinton administration's approval of a lethal governmental assault in a new, definitive account of the firefight that ended so many lives and triggered the rise of today's militia movement. Waco drew the battle lines for American extremists—in Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh's words, "Waco started this war." With help from sources as diverse as Branch Davidian survivors and the FBI's lead negotiator during the siege, Cook draws a straight line from Waco's ashes to the January 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol and insurrections yet to come.
