I heard a comment on and about the words ‘conspiracy theory’. The word ‘conspiracy’ means to plot for an evil purpose or evil-doing. If I am accused of ‘conspiracy’ by revealing evil plans or evil men – is this wrong? And if the ‘theory’ is proven to be fact, then all needs to be revealed. I remember from teleological ethical theory that what is ‘good’ to a good or righteous person is usually ‘good’ – but what is ‘good’ to an evil person is usually ‘evil’. Remember Hitler thought it was ‘good’ to exterminate the Jews – but it was ‘total evil’!What is ‘good’ to an evil man or even men is ‘total evil’.To truly understand good and evil there is the urgent need to understand the Truth of the Bible where the only True God reveals Himself. (Isaiah 45:5,6). Apart from understanding our lives in relation to the Bible, a prime reason for this Book comes from the wonderful revelations of Dr Judy Wood and her book “Where did the Towers go ?”.

"Hot and intense to the very last word!!!" Farrell Black is dirty, dangerous, and holds nothing sacred. Growing up on the mean streets of London, he clawed his way to the top of a criminal empire with nothing but sheer force of will and the determination to need no one. Ever. Then he met Jenna Carver, and all bets were off — until the day she walked out of his life without a backward glance. Leaving him was the hardest thing she’d ever done. As a kid, Jenna knew how people looked at her. Like she was stupid. Worthless. Poor. So she spent her life working to become someone else. Then she met Farrell Black and their all-consuming passion blew a hole in everything she thought she knew about herself. Until she was forced to make a terrible choice. Now Jenna is back in London for her father's funeral, desperate to avoid the one man who can banish her hard-earned reason in favor of red-hot ecstasy. But when her father’s death is tied to an abuse of power at the highest levels, she has no choice but to ask Farrell for help. As they work together to find answers to a puzzle that could have dangerous implications, desire threatens to undo them both and forces Jenna to choose between keeping the secret of a lifetime and having the one man who can command her body and soul. Then Farrell and Jenna find themselves on the run, fugitives from the law as they work to unravel a threat that could have catastrophic consequences for mankind. From London to Italy to Paris, Farrell and Jenna have no choice but to fight more than one hidden adversary - and hope they live long enough to get a second chance at love. _______________________________ ★★★★★ "This is indeed a gripping series.

In eighteenth-century Britain, the appearance of “savages” from the New World provoked intense fascination. Though such people had been arriving periodically for decades, it was only then that the “savage visit” became a sensation. Using a wealth of sources, Kate Fullagar shows why the phenomenon grew and how it related to bitter debates over the morality of imperial expansion.

AN ECONOMIST AND SMITHSONIAN BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • A landmark work of narrative history that shatters our previous Eurocentric understanding of the Age of Discovery by telling the story of the Indigenous Americans who journeyed across the Atlantic to Europe after 1492 "On Savage Shores not only changes how we think about the first contact between America and Europe but also sets the methodological standard for a new way of understanding the origin of the modern world." —New York Review of Books We have long been taught to presume that modern global history began when the "Old World" encountered the "New", when Christopher Columbus “discovered” America in 1492. But, as Caroline Dodds Pennock conclusively shows in this groundbreaking book, for tens of thousands of Aztecs, Maya, Totonacs, Inuit and others—enslaved people, diplomats, explorers, servants, traders—the reverse was true: they discovered Europe. For them, Europe comprised savage shores, a land of riches and marvels, yet perplexing for its brutal disparities of wealth and quality of life, and its baffling beliefs. The story of these Indigenous Americans abroad is a story of abduction, loss, cultural appropriation, and, as they saw it, of apocalypse—a story that has largely been absent from our collective imagination of the times. From the Brazilian king who met Henry VIII to the Aztecs who mocked up human sacrifice at the court of Charles V; from the Inuk baby who was put on show in a London pub to the mestizo children of Spaniards who returned “home” with their fathers; from the Inuit who harpooned ducks on the Avon river to the many servants employed by Europeans of every rank: here are a people who were rendered exotic, demeaned, and marginalized, but whose worldviews and cultures had a profound impact on European civilization. Drawing on their surviving literature and poetry and subtly layering European eyewitness accounts against the grain, Pennock gives us a sweeping account of the Indigenous American presence in, and impact on, early modern Europe.
