The short lived but murderous spree of the 'Mad Dog' and his accomplice, 'Meatball', was one of the most horrific in New England history. For ten weeks, liquor store, convenience store, gas station owners and those who ran other small businesses lived in a state of increasing terror. A set of small-scale robberies were accompanied by beatings and murder completely out of proportion to the situation, all for the sake of a few dollars.Joseph Taborsky, the 'Mad Dog', killed seven innocent men and women, and seriously injured many more, leaving them for dead. The vast majority of these killings took place in that short, ten-week spell. His semi moronic, illiterate accomplice, Arthur Culombe, known as 'Meatball', added to the tally as the merciless pair struck repeatedly.But there was much more to Taborsky's wanton evil than just homicide, assault and robbery. From the case against he and Culombe, the journey towards the establishment of the now universal Miranda rights was begun. And more, there were unseen victims. Those were the families of the twin killers; good people whose own lives were ruined by the crest of hatred that rocked the usually passive state of Connecticut during those crime filled weeks, and for many, revenge filled, years after.

Christopher Fulton's journey began with the death of Evelyn Lincoln, late secretary to President John F. Kennedy. Through Lincoln, crucial evidence ended up in Christopher's hands—evidence that was going to be used to facilitate a new future for America. But the U.S. government's position was clear: that evidence had to be confiscated and classified, and the truth hidden away from the public. Christopher was sent to federal prison for years under a sealed warrant and indictment. The Inheritance, Christopher's personal narrative, shares insider information from his encounters with the Russian Government, President Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump, the Clinton White House, the U.S. Justice Department, the Secret Service, and the Kennedy family themselves. It reveals the true intentions of Evelyn Lincoln and her secret promise to Robert Kennedy—and Christopher's secret promise to John F. Kennedy Jr. The Inheritance explodes with history-changing information and answers the questions Americans are still asking, while pulling them through a gauntlet of some of the worst prisons this country has to offer. This book thrillingly exposes the reality of American power, and sheds light on the dark corners of current corruption within the executive branch and the justice and prison systems.

CONSCIOUSNESS OR SUPERCONSCIOUSNESS THIS IS THE DILEMMA The present society continues to run like a mad elephant, toward global catastrophe. Why do we continue on this road that leads us to a dead end, with end view our own self-destruction? The answer to this question lies in human consciousness itself, the cause of every problem, while Superconsciousness is the solution to every difficulty. What is the difference between consciousness and Superconsciousness? Superconsciousness consciously connects us with everything that exists, and to understand it better we can make the analogy of a network: everything in existence is like a node that can have the illusion of being separate from the rest of the network. Most people are like that, they feel like a node separated from the rest, like a single individual separated from the rest of Humanity. This feeling of separation is the mode in which consciousness operates. CONSCIOUSNESS OR SUPERCOSCIENCE THAT IS THE DILEMMA The present society continues to run like a mad elephant, toward global catastrophe. Why do we continue on this road that leads us to a dead end, with end view our own self-destruction? The answer to this question lies in human consciousness itself, the cause of every problem, while Superconsciousness is the solution to every difficulty. What is the difference between consciousness and Superconsciousness? Superconsciousness consciously connects us with everything that exists, and to understand it better we can make the analogy of a network: everything in existence is like a node that can have the illusion of being separate from the rest of the network. Most people are like this, feeling like a knot separated from the rest, like a single individual separated from the rest of Humanity. This feeling of separation is the mode in which consciousness operates. So it is ”normal” for a world dominated by consciousness to be in perpetual conflict, consciousness can only do so much by being a principle of division and separation. And as long as it is the same that decides both our personal and Humanity's fate, we will always be at risk of self-destruction. We can even say, ”The very nature of consciousness, directed toward separation and competition, can only inevitably lead us into conflict with others.” It is the very nature of ordinary consciousness that leads us to violence and war! Superconsciousness knows that it is both the node and the global network itself at the same time, so it knows that it is deeply connected and interconnected to the Whole, while consciousness thinks it is a node unto itself, separate from the rest of the network. Superconsciousness thus opens us to a wider reality than that of ordinary consciousness, and we get a taste of it in moments of deep Inner Peace, when the silent mind allows us to enjoy to the fullest the spectacle of the present moment. Why is consciousness on the world's bridge of command and Superconsciousness all but ignored? Superconsciousness is something unpredictable and original capable of subverting the established order. The emergence on this planet, of a minimum sufficient number of awakening Superconsciousnesses, is the greatest nightmare for the system and for the Anti-Awakening Dark Powers that rule the world. This is the problem, the ruling elites do not want Superconsciousness awakening because it would put an end to their millennial earthly Power. Only by electing Superconsciousness, as the Supreme Commander of human life, will it be possible to change human destiny and put the extraordinary scientific progress implemented by consciousness no longer at the service of consciousness itself in command, which we might rather describe as ”unconsciousness ruling the world,” but to put technological progress at the service of Superconsciousness, the only one capable of fostering development that is healthy, sensible, and truly aimed at the welfare of H Translator: Nikkita PUBLISHER: TEKTIME
