Every negotiated settlement between the State of Israel and its Palestinian adversaries has failed to establish a stable and lasting peace. This is the history of what was attempted, why those failures were inevitable, and what must be done instead.

Every new American President has a plan to bring about peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians, and every one fails.

Every “peace process” has failed in its primary objective: to establish a stable and lasting accord between the two parties, such that they can live together side-by-side in friendship rather than enmity.

But why? And what can be done instead?

While this failure is a consistent pattern stretching back decades, there is virtually no public discussion or even basic understanding of the primary reason for this failure.

The Palestinian Delusion is unique in situating the Israeli/Palestinian conflict within the context of the global jihad that has found renewed impetus in the latter portion of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first. Briskly recounting the tumultuous history of the “peace process,” Robert Spencer demonstrates that the determination of diplomats, policymakers, and negotiators to ignore this aspect of the conflict has led the Israelis, the Palestinians, and the world down numerous blind alleys. This has often only exacerbated, rather than healed, this conflict.


The Palestinian Delusion offers a general overview of the Zionist settlement of Palestine, the establishment of the State of Israel, and the Arab Muslim reaction to these events. It explores the dramatic and little-known history of the various peace efforts—showing how and why they invariably broke down or failed to be implemented fully. The Palestinian Delusion also provides shocking evidence from the Palestinian media, as well as statements from the Palestinian leadership, showing that negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians will never work.

But there is still cause for hope. Spencer delineates a realistic, viable alternative to the endless and futile “peace process,” that shows how the Jewish State and the Palestinian Arabs can truly coexist in peace—without illusions or unrealistic expectations.

Book Summary of Buddha's Not Smiling:Uncovering Corruption At The Heart Of Tibetan Buddhism Today Interest in Buddhism has exploded in the last couple of decades, and millions of people around the world view Tibetan Buddhism as the religion's most pure and authentic form. Yet, a political conflict among Tibetan lamas themselves is now poised to tear the Tibetan Buddhist world apart and threaten the ntegrity of its thousand-year old teachings. On August 2, 1993, Rumtek monastery was attacked. Its monks were expelled and the cloister was turned over to supporters of a boy-lamas appointed by the Chinese government. But Rumtek was not in China, and its attackers were not Communist troops. Rumtek was in India, the refuge for most exiled Tibetans. And it was Tibetan lamas and monks themselves who led the siege. Yet, evidence shows that Chinese agents directly supported Tibetan lamas and monks who attacked Rumtek monastery. While a complete picture of this controversy has been blurred by the media's focus on international Buddhist celebrities, Buddha's Not Smiling challengers Readers to Judge for themselves the health of Tibetan Buddhism today.

• Startling signs that although Muslims everywhere in the world today pray facing Mecca, this practice was unknown in the earliest mosques to be built;

In The Ebola Outbreak in West Africa, the award-wining Sierra Leonean journalist, political activist and human rights advocate Chernoh Alpha M. Bah presents an in-depth investigation that challenges the official narrative surrounding the origin and widespread transmission of the 2014 West African Ebola epidemic - one of the most catastrophic human tragedies in the twenty first century.

Bah demonstrates with hard evidence that the western narrative, which rashly pinned the origin of the epidemic on a two-year-old boy in a small Guinean village and implicated the backwardness of Africans as the cause for the widespread nature of the outbreak, was neither corroborated nor challenged by Western journalists and the Western academic establishment. He explores why, at the initial stages of the outbreak when thousands of men, women and children were dying, Western media had already settled upon a narrative that blamed and criminalized the victims for the epidemic's explosion.

In this groundbreaking text, Bah establishes the West African outbreak as the continuation of a colonial legacy of multinational corporate exploitation, political corruption, and western dehumanization of the African. Glaringly absent from the official narrative, he argues, is how the billions of dollars of foreign corporate investments existing in West Africa's natural resource exploitation and the strategic international military and governmental intelligence interests in the region (including billion-dollar animal-testing and deadly-pathogen laboratory projects) served as the foundations for the outbreak. It is only from within this global context that the conditions of the outbreak and its widespread devastation can be properly understood.

Bah's Ebola Outbreak in West Africa illustrates and illuminates the Ebola crises in new and terrifying ways. It is the first indigenous account that presents a holistic and independent investigation into one of the worst human tragedies in recent history.

Jack is back.

Wilson never said he was through with Repairman Jack. He said he was through turning in a new novel every year. He also said when a story came along that was right for Jack, he’d write it.

The Last Christmas is that story.

It’s late December between Ground Zero and Fatal Error, a winter of discontent for Jack who’s perhaps spending too much time hanging at Julio’s. An old contact, Edward Burkes, convinces him to take on a missing-person fix. As usual, nothing is as it seems, and the missing person isn’t exactly a person. In fact, it’s like nothing anyone has ever seen.

And in the middle of all this, the mysterious Madame de Medici hires him to safeguard a valuable object. Simple, right?

Not even close.

Yep, Jack is back and, as usual, weird trouble is on his heels.

Surviving Severe Child Abuse, Sexual Assault and Leaving the Amish ChurchA gripping story that takes you on the journey of a child abuse and sexual assault survivor turned activist. Photo Gallery in the back of the book.
True story of child abuse. When Misty Griffin was six years old, her family started to live and dress like the Amish. Misty and her sister were kept as slaves on a mountain ranch and subjected to almost complete isolation, sexual abuse, and extreme physical violence. Their step-father kept a loaded rifle by the door to make sure the young girls were too terrified to try to escape. No rescue would ever come since the few people who knew they existed did not care.
Sexual abuse among the Amish. When Misty reached her teens, her parents feared she and her sister would escape and took them to an Amish community. Devastated to again find herself in a world of fear, cruelty, and abuse, Misty was sexually assaulted by the bishop. As Misty recalls, "Amish sexual abusers are only shunned by the church for six weeks, a punishment that never seems to work. . . .I knew I had to get help, and one freezing morning in early March, I made a dash for a tiny police station in rural Minnesota. After reporting the bishop, I left the Amish and found myself plummeted into a strange modern world with only a second-grade education and no ID or social security card."
Misty has a message for abuse survivors: "Please be encouraged, the cycle of abuse can be broken. This is my story of survival and moving past the abuse to embrace my dreams." In June 2019 Misty graduated nursing school. She continues to work to raise awareness about child abuse and sexual assault. Through Misty's story, discover:
* You are not alone
* Your past does not define your future
* The abuse you endured was not your fault
* Moving forward is possible

If you have read true crime books and child abuse true stories like Educated, A Child Called It or Etched In Sand, then Tears of the Silenced is a must-read.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Plan--right from the horse's mouth
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2021
Verified Purchase
I bought this book based on the recommendation of a public figure I trust. After reading some of it (up to Page 70), I was confused because I was thinking, "Wait, this author sounds like a socialist. Why did that person recommend this book?" Then it hit me--it was recommended in order to warn us of the big plan, the Global Reset, and this book is written by proponents of the plan. So no one can call it "right wing propaganda," can they.

I will not finish the rest of this book. It's both upsetting and boring. The reviewers here confirmed what I suspected would follow after Page 70. It is definitely important that we all know the plan, but why should these guys profit when they are, let's face it, the enemy of freedom. Give your money instead to one of the good guys who can tell you what the Great Reset is all about. Or if you must read it, borrow the book from a friend or the library.

What I got so far is nothing but speculation--one-sided facts and figures making the case for their utopia. The authors see massive government intervention at the center of this utopia. The U.S. is a big problem in achieving their goal, so naturally, they tear down the U.S. a lot. They're trying to get our heads right. Ha ha. We are just too darned capitalistic and freedom loving. Oh and Donald Trump was president at the time they wrote the book--their worst nightmare--an "America First," anti-globalist president. No-ooo!

Oh but it's all for the greater good, don't cha know. Here's a quote from Page 57: "With the economic emergency responses to the pandemic now in place, the opportunity can be seized to make the kind of institutional changes and policy choices that will put economics on a new path towards a FAIRER, GREENER future (emphasis mine)."

How about GDP as a measure of economic prosperity? Nah. That is so-ooo yesterday. Instead, they say, let's focus on "the minimum we need to live a good life" and know "the boundaries not to be crossed by human activity to avoid environmentally negative impact on climate, soil, oceans ... freshwater and biodiversity (Page 60)." Can you imagine the tyranny these "boundaries" could invite? Ironically, the authors followed the above statements with, "We do not know yet whether the 'tyranny of GDP growth' will come to an end ..." What?

Beware! This book will appeal to naive people, especially during hard times. The authors paint a rosy picture ahead. Just put them in charge, and life will be grand. You will never go without.

Didn't all communist leaders tell their peasants the very same thing?

COVID-19 and the Global Predators is much more than an analysis of the current exploitation of humanity under cover of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. It discloses for the first time the actual blueprint and master plan that that was ten years in the making by global predators before the pandemic: a plan to reorganize the world in the name of public health. Billionaires, government agencies, giant funds, and major industries collaborated years ahead of time to lay the groundwork for what would become Operation Warp Speed and the Great Reset in 2020. All this is disclosed, individuals and groups are named, and their plans for the future are documented. The book concludes with chapters on what America and the world must do in the coming weeks and months to save humanity's freedoms.



Many top medical and public health experts treating and examining COVID 19 agree this is the most comprehensive book about who and what is behind the draconian measures that are crushing individual freedoms and many of the societies and economies of the Western World including the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and Australia.



Three of these medical doctors have confirmed this in their introductions to the book: physicians Peter McCullough MD MPH, Vladimir "Zev" Zelenko MD and Elizabeth Lee Vliet MD. They are echoed by endorsements from Robert F Kennedy Jr. and Paul Alexander PhD.



This book thoroughly documents solid answers to these tragic questions about the global predators who are reaping enormous benefits from COVID-19 suffering including wealth, power and the destruction of America as an opposition to globalism.



Who are the "they"-these Global Predators? What are their motives and their plans for us?

How can we defend against them?



Why did they:

■ Plan Warp Speed for a SARS-CoV pandemic years before it came?

■ Distribute mRNA and DNA vaccines that killed lab animals and now humans?

■ Collaborate with the Chinese making pandemic viruses & bioweapons?

■ Hide the origin of SARS-CoV-2 in the Wuhan Institute?

■ Let China spread the virus around the world on passenger planes?

■ Give so much power to Dr. Anthony Fauci?

Why do they continue to:

■ Prohibit cheap, available, safe and effective COVID-19 treatments?

■ Impose draconian closures on our society and economy?

■ Disproportionately harm or destroy small businesses and churches?

■ Make us wear masks and distance ourselves from each other?

■ Exaggerate the death rate from COVID-19 to frighten us?

■ Hide the high and growing vaccine death rate from all of us?

■ Make experimental "vaccines" that turn our bodies against ourselves?



Dr. Breggin is a physician with 70+ scientific articles and 20+ medical texts and popular books. He

is among the world's most experienced medical experts in landmark legal cases in psychiatry and

neurosurgery, and now in COVID-19. The Breggins' bestsellers include Talking Back to Prozac and

Toxic Psychiatry. Their research led the United States to cancel the deadly Chinese collaboration.



Breggin is an intrepid scholar and is assiduous and methodological as he assembles all the pieces to the puzzle. His research, carried out with his wife Ginger, is impeccable, and his incisive approach sears the neck of those whose aim it is to wield power, control, and instill fear among the world's wealthiest nations.

Pharma-funded mainstream media has convinced millions of Americans that Dr. Anthony Fauci is a hero. He is anything but.

As director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Dr. Anthony Fauci dispenses $6.1 billion in annual taxpayer-provided funding for scientific research, allowing him to dictate the subject, content, and outcome of scientific health research across the globe. Fauci uses the financial clout at his disposal to wield extraordinary influence over hospitals, universities, journals, and thousands of influential doctors and scientists—whose careers and institutions he has the power to ruin, advance, or reward.

During more than a year of painstaking and meticulous research, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. unearthed a shocking story that obliterates media spin on Dr. Fauci . . . and that will alarm every American—Democrat or Republican—who cares about democracy, our Constitution, and the future of our children’s health.

The Real Anthony Fauci reveals how “America’s Doctor” launched his career during the early AIDS crisis by partnering with pharmaceutical companies to sabotage safe and effective off-patent therapeutic treatments for AIDS. Fauci orchestrated fraudulent studies, and then pressured US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulators into approving a deadly chemotherapy treatment he had good reason to know was worthless against AIDS. Fauci repeatedly violated federal laws to allow his Pharma partners to use impoverished and dark-skinned children as lab rats in deadly experiments with toxic AIDS and cancer chemotherapies.

In early 2000, Fauci shook hands with Bill Gates in the library of Gates’ $147 million Seattle mansion, cementing a partnership that would aim to control an increasingly profitable $60 billion global vaccine enterprise with unlimited growth potential. Through funding leverage and carefully cultivated personal relationships with heads of state and leading media and social media institutions, the Pharma-Fauci-Gates alliance exercises dominion over global health policy.

The Real Anthony Fauci details how Fauci, Gates, and their cohorts use their control of media outlets, scientific journals, key government and quasi-governmental agencies, global intelligence agencies, and influential scientists and physicians to flood the public with fearful propaganda about COVID-19 virulence and pathogenesis, and to muzzle debate and ruthlessly censor dissent.

In his shocking book, The Secret Government, author Ismael Perez exposes the existence and purpose of a secret society which has been in existence since pre-Biblical times. Perez uncovers a secret government, an underground society of the world s most influential leaders, working together to form one government.

The society, known by many as The Secret Government, includes world leaders, politicians, religious organizations, corporations, and some of the most influential families in history. Its purpose is to mold world events, using calamities, assassinations, diseases, terrorism, and political elections, in their quest for world domination and control.

They have been the power behind most of the world s empires and institutions and have maintained their stronghold over the earth through secrecy, conspiracy, manipulation, division and wars. Taking the reader through history, Ismael Perez exposes the workings of this dark, hidden hand society as they attempt to bring all nations under their control.

From the days of Adam and Eve, their bloodline has evolved and is currently behind the economic, political, and social corruption facing the world today. The Secret Government reveals the real reasons behind the 9-11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the assassinations of presidents, as well as their method of economic dominance through control of the world s banking system. From the highest echelons of world organizations, Perez provides proof that this dark brotherhood exists in the United Nations, the pharmaceutical companies, in organized religion, as well as the political arena. Years of research performed by Perez and other truth seekers bring these undeniable truths to light. It is time to familiarize ourselves with the meaning of the great awakening in relationship to the declining power of the dark forces. The great awakening has long been prophesied, and it s taking place for many people who are becoming aware. The disclosure of the oppressive forces will be a great step in the awakening process, states Perez.

COVID Operation is the story of how the COVID-19 Hoax began, who the major players are, and how the plan was executed. It's a disturbing account of how easy it is to take control of people who assume that they will continue to enjoy freedom without holding government, the media, and many others accountable.

The most consequential thing to happen in the world since World War II, this event has been perpetrated by a wide network of enemies of the people who have managed to disguise themselves as public servants, health professionals, and founders and heads of global non-profits. They are everywhere, they are incredibly rich, they are powerful, and they are intent on getting their way.

With knowledge comes power, and our hope is that the information in this book will motivate masses of people to reject what is often referred to as "the new normal," to do whatever is required to take back their lives, and to ensure that future generations will live free.

The Secret History of the World
