Beliza never knew who her parents were, or what being cared for felt like. For twelve years, she endured neglect, hunger and hostility from her caretakers and the villagers. Threatened with exorcism, she leaves despite having nowhere to go and nothing to her name. At the edge of the woods, she encounters a mysterious woman they call the Chief Katalonan, who entices her to find answers to the mysterious experiences in her life. Together with eight other kids, Beliza finds herself in a Katalonan training camp to learn about the intertwined ethereal and corporeal worlds, Hiwagaan and Sansinukob. Here she finds that as a Katalonan, a conduit between the gods, elementals, and humans, she faces the daily choice of keeping the balance between the two worlds. And for someone who had nothing, she can now wield the power over light and dark. Beliza finds a father figure in her elemental guide, Tamauro, and learns how to battle dangerous, dark entities, as well as her own childhood traumas. Soon, she and her friends must face unknown adversaries sent by Sitan, the lord of darkness. Are they prepared for the cost this war will exact from them? A life and friendship.

Now we finally have a fresh new perspective, directly from Valiant Thor himself, of the unsuccessful negotiations that were conducted. We learn about his warnings about negotiating with an alliance of alien predator races; Eisenhower’s betrayal by MJ-12 in signing secret agreements with this exploitative alliance; and how the Galactic Federation has ever since been mitigating the effects of these nefarious agreements through numerous covert actions to raise human consciousness and spark a planetary awakening.

In US foreign policy, conflict has replaced diplomacy. At home, wars on crime, drugs, immigration, and terrorism dissolve barriers between law enforcement and combat. Tracing the origins of militarized policy to post-Vietnam fears of waning US power, Osamah Khalil argues that it is time to discard forever wars and invest in political solutions.
