COVER REVEAL! Something Unexpected by Author Vi Keeland releases July 3! A new, sexy standalone from #1 New York Times Bestseller, Vi Keeland. Pre-order today! Apple Books: https://apple.co/3MSAFr3 Paperback: https://amzn.to/3KVZeQX Cover Design: Sommer Stein, Perfect Pear Creative Model: David J. Harman Add to your Goodreads TBR ➩ https://bit.ly/41oaPzq When my grandmother found out she didn’t have long to live, she embarked on a crazy trip—jumping out of airplanes and scuba diving with sharks. After I repeatedly voiced my concern, Gram blocked me—her own grandson—on text and social media, leaving me only her travel companion Eleanor’s number. Eleanor started sending me pictures of Gram’s adventures. At first she seemed nice, but when I attempted to persuade her to talk some sense into her friend, she told me where I could stick my advice. After that, photos arrived with snarky comments, and Eleanor and I got into it on more than one occasion. When I heard Gram’s upcoming plans were more dangerous than ever, I hopped on a plane. Since I arrived late, I headed to the bar for a drink, figuring I’d surprise her in the morning. To my delight, I met a gorgeous woman looking for a no-strings-attached night. Nora was just what I needed. She invited me back to her room, telling me to give her a ten-minute head start. But when I went to pay her bar tab, I realized how much she’d had to drink. As much as I wanted to ignore it, I couldn’t. So I stood Nora up. I knew she’d be pissed, but I also knew I’d never see her again. Except never came a little early. Namely, the next morning when I went to meet my grandmother and her evil-spinster friend. Because old Eleanor turned out to be young Nora from last night. And if I thought the woman disliked me before, that was nothing compared to how ticked-off she was now. Or how unhappy she was going to be that their party of two was about to become a party of three.

Junto con Keohane, allí desarrolló los conceptos de interdependencia asimétrica y compleja. También exploró las relaciones transnacionales y la política mundial, en un volumen editado en la década de 1970. Más recientemente, fue pionero en la teoría del poder blando (“La seducción siempre es más efectiva que la coacción, y valores como la democracia, derechos humanos y oportunidades individuales son profundamente seductoras”). Su noción de “poder inteligente” (“la capacidad de combinar hard y soft power para una estrategia vencedora”) se hizo popular con el uso de esta frase por miembros de la Administración Clinton, y más recientemente, de la Administración Obama.

Zbigniew Brzezinski

Un miembro importante de alta influencia en la Comisión Trilateral, Bilderberg y el Council on Foreign Relations es Zbigniew Brzezinski. Contratado por el banquero David Rockefeller se constituyó en el primer director de la Comisión Trilateral. Fue quien creó la idea de financiar en los años ’80 el Terrorismo que luego es usado para ataques de falsa bandera como excusa para incursiones militares.

Como uno de los principales impulsores del militarismo global Brzezinski apoyó la venta de armamento moderno a Pakistán, y aseguró el acuerdo con Arabia Saudí para financiar operaciones de ayuda encubierta a los muyahidines afganos. Cabe resaltar que la intervención de los muyahidines, financiados desde Arabia Saudí por Osama Bin Laden, a título personal, y la CIA y entrenados por esta última, comenzó bastante antes de la invasión soviética. Así, el 3 de julio de 1979, bajo supervisión del Consejo de Seguridad Nacional de Brzezinski, se había firmado ya la primera directiva sobre la asistencia clandestina a los opositores del régimen izquierdista de Kabul.

Brzezinski fue requerido en 2006 ante una audiencia del Senado de Estados Unidos, donde explicó que se podría dar un atentado terrorista como el del 11 de septiembre, como excusa para iniciar la guerra contra Irán, afirmó esto: “Un escenario posible para un enfrentamiento militar con Irán implica que el fracaso iraquí alcance los límites americanos ; seguido de acusaciones americanas que hagan a Irán responsable de ese fracaso; después, por algunas provocaciones en Irak o un acto terrorista en suelo americano(EE.UU.), acto del cual se haría responsable a Irán. Esto pudiera culminar con una acción militar americana “defensiva” contra Irán que sumergiría a una América aislada en un profundo lodazal en el que estarían incluidos Irán, Irak, Afganistán y Pakistán”. Dos décadas más tarde mucho de este plan parece estar en marcha.

“La muerte de 500.000 niños iraquíes era una precio que había que pagar”. -Madeleine Albright

Madeleine Albright

Una gran discípula de Brzezinski ha sido Madeleine Albright, miembro del directorio del Council on Foreign Relations (“directora emérita”), Secretaria de Estado de los EEUU y conocida por su frase “La muerte de 500.000 niños iraquíes era una precio que había que pagar”

El Council on Foreign Relations (Consejo de Relaciones Exteriores) funciona como el cerebro, el think tank preferido de la Élite en los EEUU. El Club Bilderberg se podría decir que es el CFR + Europa, mientras que la Comisión Trilateral es Bilderberg + Asia.

Fundada en 1921 con base en Nueva York como extensión del Royal Institute of International Affairs de Londres (Chatam House). Muchos creen que se trata de la entidad privada más poderosa por su influencia en la política exterior de los Estados Unidos. Publica la revista bimensual Foreign Affairs. Tiene una extensa página web que provee enlaces a su think tank (centro de estudio y planeamiento estratégico geopolítico), el programa de estudios David Rockefeller, otros programas y proyectos, publicaciones, historia, biografías de notables y otros miembros del directorio, miembros corporativos y notas de prensa, una sociedad cada vez menos secreta.

Al día de hoy cuenta entre sus principales contribuyentes a la Fundación Rockefeller y a la Fundación Ford.

Miembros Directivos del Council on Foreign Relations:

Entre los miembros directivos, destaca la presencia de personajes ligados al monje negro de la élite, Henry Kissinger, y los líderes de los principales fondos de inversión financieros del mundo: BlackRock y Blackstone, con enlaces a la Casa Rothschild.

Royal Institute of International Affairs de Londres (Chatam House)

Junto al CFR, Chatham House fue fundada inmediatamente después de la Primera Guerra Mundial. Derrocados finalmente los principales imperios que venían de la época feudal, tanto cristianos como el Sacro Imperio Romano (2do. Reich) o el Imperio Austrahúngaro, como musulmanes como el Imperio Otomano (liberando el área estratégica de Palestina), las principales dinastías financieras, asociadas al único imperio occidental en pie, el británico, pusieron en marcha sus planes para la concreción de un Gobierno Mundial, el que tuvo su primer prototipo en la Sociedad de Naciones y, luego de la Segunda Guerra Mundial en las Naciones Unidas.

Chatham House, con sede en Londres, fue fundada en 1920 y es conocida internacionalmente como Instituto Real de Asuntos Internacionales, es el equivalente británico del Council on Foreign Relations estadounidense, fueron de hecho sus delegados quienes fundaron a este último en Nueva York.

Su primer presidente fue Lionel Curtis, quien supo abogar por un Gobierno Mundial.

Curtis publicó en 1938: “Civitas Dei: The Commonwealth of God”, proponiendo que los Estados Unidos volvieran a unirse a la Commonwealth británica y que esa nueva entidad se termine transformando en un gobierno mundial.

Curtis fue secretario a su vez de Lord Milner, uno de los principales funcionarios británicos durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. Milner fue socio de Cecil Rhodes, agente de la banca Rothschild y también un prominente miembro de la socialista Sociedad Fabiana. Milner fue también presidente de la corporación minera Río Tinto, de la banca Rothschild.

Milner habría sido el verdadero redactor de la “Declaración Balfour”, si bien firmada por el primer ministro Arthur Balfour, dirigida a Lord Rothschild, cediendo a los pedidos del sionismo para ocupar las tierras de Palestina.

Milner fue también uno de los principales signatorios por Gran Bretaña del Tratado de Versalles, humillante para la derrotada Alemania.

Milner fue reconocido por la Corona Británica en 1921 como Knight of the Garter (Orden de la Jarretera).

Lista de ganadores en los últimos años del Premio Chatham House:

2005 Presidente Viktor Yushchenko (Ucrania) 2006 Presidente Joaquim Chissano (Mozambique) 2007 Mozah bint Nasser al-Missned (Catar) 2008 Presidente John Kufuor (Ghana) 2009 Presidente Lula da Silva (Brasil) 2010 Presidente Abdullah Gül Turquía) 2011 Líder de la oposición birmana Aung San Suu Kyi (Myanmar) 2012 Presidente Moncef Marzouki y Rachid Ghanuchi (Túnez) 2013 Secretaria de Estado Hillary Rodham Clinton (Estados Unidos) 2014 Melinda Gates (Estados Unidos) 2015 Médicos Sin Fronteras (Francia) 2016 John Kerry y Mohammad Yavad Zarif (Estados Unidos) e (Irán), respectivamente. 2017 Juan Manuel Santos (Colombia) 2018 Comité para la Protección de los Periodistas (Estados Unidos)

La Sociedad Fabiana

La Sociedad Fabiana fue fundada en Londres en 1884 y lleva ese nombre en recordación del general romano Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus (apodado Cunctator, algo así como el “retardador”), precisamente por su estrategia de alcanzar un “gobierno mundial” de tipo socialista de manera gradual, asemejando la forma en la que Anibal combatió al ejército cartaginés, mediante el desgaste y la persistencia: “Debes esperar el momento oportuno, como hizo con mucha paciencia Fabio, cuando estaba en guerra contra Aníbal, aunque muchos censuraron sus retrasos; pero cuando llegue el momento, debes golpear duro, como lo hizo Fabio, o tu espera será en vano e infructuosa”.

Según el autor Jon Perdue, “el logo de la Sociedad Fabiana, una tortuga, representaba la predilección del grupo por una transición lenta e imperceptible al socialismo, mientras que su escudo de armas, un ‘lobo con piel de oveja’, representaba su metodología preferida para lograr su objetivo”.

Fueron miembros de la Sociedad Fabiana prominentes políticos, economistas, sociólogos, pensadores, masones y ocultistas, como Annie Besant, Beatrice Webb, Bertrand Russell, Charles Marson, Emmeline Pankhurst, Graham Wallas, George Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells, Sidney James Webb (1st Baron Passfield), Sydney Olivier, Oliver Lodge, Ramsay MacDonald.

Muchas de las ideas elaboradas por el socialismo fabiano son hoy rescatadas por el Foro Económico Mundial. Los fabianos presentaron la idea de un sistema de educación pública nacional, la nacionalización de las rentas agrarias, un salario mínimo universal en 1906, un sistema de atención médica universal en 1911 y la abolición de los títulos de nobleza hereditarios en 1917. Junto a estas ideas también promovían la eugenesia como forma de manipular las razas humanas, a través de la esterilización, en teoría, con el objetivo de “mejorar la especie”. Todas estas ideas iban de la mano de un firme impulso al imperialismo británico.

Actuales impulsores de un “Gobierno Mundial”, como los ex primer ministros, Tony Blair o Gordon Brown, son también miembros de la Sociedad Fabiana.

¿Quiénes la financian actualmente? Entre otros, la poderosa City de Londres

The Squid Cinema From Hell: Kinoteuthis Infernalis and the Emergence of Chthulumedia, by William Brown, David H. Fleming, Edinburgh University Press, 2020. Info: edinburghuniversitypress.com.

Here be Kraken! The Squid Cinema From Hell draws upon writers like Vilém Flusser, Donna J. Haraway, Graham Harman and Eugene Thacker to offer up a critical analysis of cephalopods and other tentacular creatures in contemporary media, while also speculating that digital media might themselves constitute a weird, intelligent alien. If this were not enough to shiver ye timbers, the book engages with contemporary discourses of posthumanism, speculative realism, object-oriented ontology and animal studies to suggest that humans are the products of media rather than media being the products of humans. Including case studies of films by Denis Villeneuve, Park Chan-wook and Céline Sciamma, The Squid Cinema From Hell also provides a daring engagement with various media beyond cinema, including literature, music videos, 4DX, advertising, websites, YouTube, Artificial Intelligence and more. Zounds! This unique and Lovecraftian book will change the way you think about, and with, our contemporary, media-saturated world. For as we contemplate the abyss, the abyss looks back at us – and chthulumedia, or media at the end of human times, begin to emerge.

Contents: Acknowledgments Beaky prepostface 1. Introducing the End 2. Pulp Fiction and the Media Archaeology of Space 3. Encounters with a 4DX Kino-Kraken 4.

Moral Relativism For Breakfast

“ Moral relativism is an important topic in metaethics. It is also widely discussed outside philosophy (for example, by political and religious leaders), and it is controversial among philosophers and nonphilosophers alike. This is perhaps not surprising in view of recent evidence that people's intuitions about moral relativism vary widely. Though many philosophers are quite critical of moral relativism, there are several contemporary philosophers who defend forms of it. These include such prominent figures as Gilbert Harman, Jesse J. Prinz, J. David Velleman and David B. Wong. The term ‘moral relativism’ is understood in a variety of ways. Most often it is associated with an empirical thesis that there are deep and widespread moral disagreements and a metaethical thesis that the truth or justification of moral judgments is not absolute, but relative to the moral standard of some person or group of persons. Sometimes ‘moral relativism’ is connected with a normative position about how we ought to think about or act towards those with whom we morally disagree, most commonly that we should tolerate them.”

-Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

“...a normative position about how we ought to think about or act towards those with whom we morally disagree.”

Therein lies the problem. Just who in the ever-living FUCK determines just what the “normative” position is, and why in the world would anyone think they have the moral high ground enough to think for one second they have ANY business deciding how ANYONE ought think or act about ANY moral stance?

The so-called liberal minded academia is failing us in the U.S. due to unclear definitions provided in certain institutions of higher learning, mainly between this version of moral relativism and critical theory. Yes, there is a certain line of rhetoric involved in this statement and NO, that does not automatically make it invalid and certainly not conservative. The closest meandering we as humans have to “truth” is by way of inherently abstract language in forming definition, a common basis of understanding that we assign meaning. By it’s very definition,seeking or finding truth in any matter requires a higher degree of objectivity as opposed to subjectivity, or NO moral standing could possibly exist.

In other words, truth isn’t based on what the groupthink of the time dictates (ya know, spewing the party line, determining who is on your team or not). Truth is based on the empirical fact of the matter, not the empirical “theory” favored by those who are regurgitating propaganda for the sake of maintaining funding. The purpose, nay, the MISSION academia is charged with here is not the propagation of truth but the encouragement of individuals to contribute to the further definition of said truths.

Yeah, dude, The Enlightenment, it was a thing, derp.

Author’s note: reblogging of this post must be done in its entirety, creative editing will get you blocked and reported. Not that I believe anyone will reblog it, let alone enter the conversation. Because look, CATS, lol.

Harman’s legacy as the Aristotle of his era is secured, his influence singlehandedly undoing Kant’s Copernican turn, demolishing the regrettable monuments of Hegelian thought, wiping the historical slate clean and refounding the tradition on a lineage running from Leibniz through Whitehead, Heidegger, Lingis, and Latour. Critique is dead. Analytic philosophy is no more. Copies of "Das Kapital" and "Word and Object" are hidden away from prying eyes and exchanged only in the public cesspool of his own library. This article should never have been published if it was ever needed, and I would like to point out to you that there is no evidence that any of these important scholars were or will be brought to justice by the Inquisition .I wish a great success in this study and will use my efforts to show that these ideas are not old fantasies.

Embracing Supernatural & Psychic Abilities | Leslie Luminare

In this episode Leslie Luminare speaks with TruthSeekah about supernatural and psychic abilities and how they affect our lives. Leslie talks about how the supernatural has been very natural throughout her life even back into childhood. She has always had a fascination with psychic abilities and the spirit world. These experiences were normal in her childhood, so much so that she thought that everyone possessed these abilities and knew about their functions. Leslie talks about being able to communicate with animals and being able to read and sense their emotions and feelings. A deeper look into empathy shows us that we are connected with every living being on this planet from humans, to the animals as well as the plant kingdoms and beyond. Everything and everyone is an extension of ourselves therefore if any sentient being feels pain people who are very sensitive on this level feel pain within their own bodies as well. This has led people in too deep states of depression and many have no idea what they are experiencing. This is why this conversation must be had, because the pharmaceutical companies are drugging our prophets and Seers. When people talk about this unexplainable depression the doctors are quick to give you a pill to cheer you up. For those who are restless in the wee hours of the night when the veil is thin between the spirit realm and ours, there's a pill for that as well. It is our duty to educate, inform and equip those who are experiencing what is deemed as awakening symptoms. Many people much like Leslie Luminaire have been experiencing the symptoms from birth. To many this is very natural, but yet it can lead others down a path of drug and substance abuse. Now I beckon you the reader to walk in your full potential. Do something about this. Many of you reading this even now feel deep down within a connection and compassion with people who are experiencing these symptoms for you have experienced them yourself. This is what empathy is all about.

Question 2: Illiteracy in children and adults

A thought came to mind while repairing books, of illiteracy, adults that struggle with or are incapable of reading. And beyond that the same of children who are struggling to keep up with where they are expected to be in their reading skills or have yet to learn to read.

One of the first problems is what we’ve defined as illiteracy is a very black and white situation, ignoring that there are different levels of reading proficiency, anything below the standard expectation being labeled as illiteracy. Cases of studies range from family standing of income level to things like are they native speakers of the language.

As far as adults are concerned, the idea of illiteracy is portrayed as a drastically negative thing, as if because of it that they somehow have been doomed. But studies show that it’s not necessarily the death sentence we are told it is, many of the adults capable of functioning in their daily lives. Studies show that most adults had some basic reading ability, how ever that the things they are capable of reading might not necessarily be what they are expected to be able to read or considered as something you would need to in order to go about a daily life.

Research on the subject for children takes a different turn to that of the adults, instead of the types of illiteracy or types of people with illiteracy studies for children are more of a why and who’s to blame. From their nutrition, to their families wealth, their parents, to even blaming other illiterates. A very bleak and destructive approach to a subject than what I expected.

Straight Outta Deadwood, edited by David Boop, Baen Books, 2019. Cover art by Dominic Harman. Info: baen.com.

Things that Go Bump at High Noon! Tales of the Weird Wild West from Charlaine Harris, Mike Resnick, D.J. Butler, Stephen Graham Jones, and more. Baen’s Bestselling Western Fantasy and Horror Anthology Returns for Another Showdown! Once again, we return to the Old West with a new posse of top authors spin tales of horror, fantasy, and science fiction. We take no prisoners as they explore what really was, and mix in what might have been. Charlaine Harris [The Sookie Stackhouse Series, Midnight, Texas] shows us a glimpse inside her new series as a tormented gunfighter faces a true demon of her past. Mike Resnick [The Buntline Special] reveals what Doc Holiday thought was so funny on his last day. Jeffrey Mariotte [Desperados, Graveslingers] introduces us to a man who specializes in pictures of the dead who won’t stay dead. Jane Lindskold [The Firekeeper Saga, The Star Kingdom Series (with David Weber)] teaches us not to underestimate a schoolmarm when her students are in jeopardy. And Shane Hensley [Deadlands] cooks up a stew that threatens to send every famous lawman in history to their graves! Plus, a dozen more stories of how the west was wilder than any history book could contain, such as a new Native American legend by Stephen Graham Jones and a Mormon troubleshooter straddling the line between his faith and the supernatural by D.J. Butler. The west that was rides again with west that could have been in this follow-up to Straight Outta Tombstone!
