Following nearly a decade of research, this account solves the mysterious death of biochemist Frank Olson, revealing the identities of his murderers in shocking detail. It offers a unique and unprecedented look into the backgrounds of many former CIA, FBI, and Federal Narcotics Bureau officials—including several who actually oversaw the CIA’s mind-control programs from the 1950s to the 1970s. In retracing these programs, a frequently bizarre and always frightening world is introduced, colored and dominated by many factors—Cold War fears, the secret relationship between the nation’s drug enforcement agencies and the CIA, and the government’s close collaboration with the Mafia.

A Revised History of Modern American Disasters By Roger Phelps A piercing look at American bombing disasters in the last fifty years — Gander, Oklahoma City, Lockerbie, 9/11, and others — and at their cumulative effect: intimidation of legislators and citizens into accepting reactionary political measures in the name of “national security.” This book is a vigorous effort to answer the question, “How did we get here?” This question troubles every American over the age of fourteen. How did America lose power in the world? How did American democracy become undermined? One answer starts in a seemingly unlikely place: the desert near the California-Mexico border, home of the poverty-stricken Cabazon Band of Mission Indians. This reservation was exploited by non-Indian political zealots to further plans for America that were truly radical. These radical plans went unnoticed even when they were carried out over ensuing decades. US Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis wrote, in 1928: The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning, but without understanding. Previous to Cabazon, during the Vietnam war, zealous U.S. anti-communists committed the My Lai massacre, and ran the murderous CIA Operation Phoenix. A slow trickle of news told the public the nature of CIA “operations” in Vietnam. The public slowly learned that the CIA was doing much more than updating the president on how things stood in foreign countries – it was “doing something about” those countries. The public even more slowly learned they themselves – if progressive politically – equally were targets of “do something about it” intelligence operations. CIA “operations” were sacrosanct and secret, exempted even from CIA “analysis” agents, as former CIA agent Ray McGovern relates: I found it strange that subway-style turnstiles prevented analysts from going to the “operations side of the house.” These let’s-do-something-about-it agents often worked without direct supervision; in the words of then-CIA Director Bedell Smith, “the operational tail … wag(s) the intelligence dog.” After the Vietnam war, some CIA agents were fired who had run Operation Phoenix. These “cowboy” ex-agents didn’t quit their fervent anti-communist activities. They became what Phelps calls “Not-Exactly-the-CIA.” This loose quasi-organization has not gone away; it has strengthened, committed further heinous acts, and remains active today. In light of the above, the question of ‘How did we get here?’ ’is a quintessential American question that, as Phelps shows, has gone unaddressed by news media. This book offers an answer to the question ‘How did we get here?’ Roger Phelps is a career news reporter with an MA in Philosophy who currently does contract writing and research for law firms. His work has been published in the Sacramento Bee and the Porterville Recorder, where he was awarded an Associated Press award.

In August 1977, New York City’s nightmare finally seemed to end with the arrest of its most infamous serial killer, David Berkowitz. The city exhaled—briefly. On May 25, 1979, a young boy vanished into the shadows of Soho, never to be seen again. The vibrant, chaotic neighborhood of struggling artists, working-class families, and small shopkeepers would be forever haunted.These two crimes—high-profile, infamous, and seemingly unconnected—were just the surface. Decades later, New York City Police Sergeant Mike Codella found himself entangled in one of the darkest investigations the city had ever seen. What he uncovered would shatter the boundaries of belief: satanic cults lurking in the shadows, ruthless 1% biker gangs, a Nobel Prize-winning pedophile doctor, and horrifying acts of human sacrifice—all hidden beneath the city’s glittering façade.Against the suffocating weight of departmental politics and institutional cover-ups, Codella’s relentless pursuit brings the reader face-to-face with a world where evil wears many masks—and nothing is what it seems.This is more than true crime. It is a descent into a nightmare so real, so horrifying, that it will make you question every conspiracy you thought too wild to exist.

Sacrificing Humanity is Indy Pederson’s provocative synthesis of modern technology, and ancient texts arguing that the language of the world’s ancient prophecies describes, with unsettling, detailed precision, the mechanics of thermonuclear war, and the role played by UFOs in causing the launch of our ICBMs.  It is a luxurious, high-quality, full-color book with 182 pictures, drawing on declassified military documents, military photo archives, nuclear theory, and firsthand interviews.  Pederson aligns ancient symbols with contemporary realities and argues that the symbols and prophecies humanity has protected for millennia are converging on a single, unprecedented event: thermonuclear war that is started by UFOs! The book weaves together Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Hindu, and Indigenous prophecies with striking archival imagery.  It is a stark, uncompromising warning about where modern civilization may be headed if we are deceived by non-human entities into starting a global nuclear attack. UFOs have already manipulated computer warning system information which is hair trigger requiring a decision in 6 minutes due to our LOW (Launch of Warning) status.  We could be deceived into launching a first strike nuclear attack when we believe we are retaliating.  This would be a UFO-caused -catalytic nuclear war where our retaliation becomes the first strike thereby wiping out the majority of humans. Blending striking imagery from Pederson’s dreams with carefully curated excerpts from the Bible, Hindu scripture, Hopi prophecy, the Quran, and Western apocalyptic visions, the book reframes ancient visions of “fire from heaven,” “the heavens rolled up as a scroll,” and “hail of fire” through the lens of modern nuclear weapons technology. Missile silos become the “bottomless pit,” MIRVs the “hailstones,” and the half-hour of silence in Revelation the literal flight time of ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missiles).  The result is a provocative reinterpretation of prophecy, symbolism, and choice grounded in the physical realities of twenty-first-century warfare.  Pederson asks whether humanity has mistaken warning for destiny—and whether the end foretold across all religions is not inevitable judgment, but the predictable outcome of our own decisions.  Not a political or theological argument, Sacrificing Humanity is a visual and conceptual archive—designed, as the author states, to endure for centuries as a record of how humanity understood its own peril at the brink—that any remaining future generations may be wiser than us.   This first volume presents the diagnosis: a civilization hypnotized into cooperating with its own destruction, and asks if the hundreds of UFOs of non-human origin at nuclear weapons sites are a harbinger of nuclear war?  Do they know something we do not? Or will one of these orbs come down and take over the command and control of our nuclear weapons “given the key to the bottomless pit” (ICBMs are launched with a key not a button) as they have already potentially caused a nuclear war “up to 10-20 times” according to ChatGPT based on hundreds of events recorded by Robert Hastings.  In remote Patagonia the author was building a $60 million resort on an island locals warned is “a known UFO base.”  Living in Brazil three months he heard of another similar remote island where 400 Brazilians were attacked/injured—40 required treatment for serious burns and puncture wounds—and two were mortally wounded. Reporting from the frontlines of an alien invasion where he witnessed the world’s largest cattle mutilation where dozens were exsanguinated in one night with UFOs seen by locals in the skies across the narrow fjord from Pederson’s private island project and simultaneously thousands of animals across thousands of miles of Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay all within a few nights in one month.  And with his business partner he had one of these orbs come closer to his face than anyone who lived to tell about it—within two feet of his face—and watched an alien materializing out of it! Pederson has since been vindicated by Jay Stratton in his new book.  Thus, orbs are delivery vehicles for far more intelligent beings that are landing and colonizing Earth which the author believes will result in a global state of emergency or nuclear destruction if we are not aware UFOs are real but they are deceivers. Disturbing, original, and impossible to ignore, Sacrificing Humanity challenges readers to confront the uncomfortable question at the heart of our age: If we have been warned for thousands of years, why do we still seem determined to repeat the same ending? What if Revelation predicts not fate—but a human choice?

By Vincent Palamara While there haven't been many Secret Service related books about U.S. presidents, the ones still in print (and even those long out of print) are often sanitized memoirs of a politically correct nature or "tell-all" tabloid historical junk meant merely for entertainment purposes. The Not-So-Secret Service provides the facts with the bark off, so to speak, and reveals politically incorrect information of a decidedly unsafe nature. It may be controversial and against the grain, but this book is heavily documented and timely, as the Secret Service guards our political candidates, foreign dignitaries, and, of course, the President, the first family and the ex-presidents and their families. "Vince Palamara is the foremost authority on the secret service in the 60s. He is a personal friend of mine and a very good researcher" —former Secret Service agent Abraham Bolden "I am impressed with your research, accuracy and willingness to 'tell it like it is.'" —former Secret Service agent Robert Deprospero. "You are, unquestionably, the main authority on the Secret Service with regard to the assassination." —best-selling author Vince Bugliosi "Vincent Michael Palamara, who long has been the preeminent authority on the extraordinary—and strange—acts of omission or commission by the Secret Service which made JFK's preventable murder possible." —Donald E. Wilkes Jr., professor emeretus, University of Georgia Law School "Vince Palamara is, with little question, the critical author who has the most knowledge of the failures of the Secret Service in their obligation to protect President Kennedy on November 22, 1963." —author James Dieugenio Vince Palamara is the leading civilian literary Secret Service expert. He is the author of Survivor's Guilt: The Secret Service & The Failure to Protect President Kennedy and JFK: From Parkland to Bethesda - the Ultimate Kennedy Assassination Compendium. Palamara has appeared in over 100 other author's books, radio, television/DVDs, newspapers, at national conferences, and many online resources.
