WITNESS TO HISTORY Mike Walsh: “I have read a lot about WWII and Germany. This includes David Irving’s books. However, you wrapped it all in a really tidy and factual package. I highly recommend it to all my history truth-seeking friends. Thank you for such a great book.” ~ B. Wiggles. https://barnesreview.org/product/witness-to-history-the-reich-legend-uncensored/

"Air Power Just Failed Its Biggest Test: What the Iran War Proved About Winning Wars." Very good article. Airpower is "nice" for big powers because it keeps ones personnel losses small.

Book bans don't work. They never have. The Catholic Church tried for four centuries. The Soviets tried. Every dictatorship has tried. The result is always the same: forbidden books become essential reading. American school boards are now running the western world's most effective book marketing campaign — entirely free of charge. https://open.substack.com/pub/nordicledger/p/the-best-way-to-sell-a-book-in-america?r=mwsn6&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

The Best Way to Sell a Book in America? Get It Banned

I am able to discover important things about life.I invite you to read all my notes+ and my texts on the wall also read trough links my sites and you can accept from me, my ability to research and find the truth in essence of things hidden deep down under the surface of phenomenons, which are delusive, to have creative mind able to make own theories and hypothesis which I always do, not reckon to thinking of others only. This is not heavy philosophy but aphorisms, which I use, of great authors and compilations of aphorisms from the world combined with subtle scientific research of the most important things more interesting then films, books, newspapers, magazines, plays, internet, TV and anything else, because the truth can be only short and clear in forms of aphorisms, determinations and concepts. Equally interesting can be music, which is a kind of truth. There are predominantly mediocre songs.There are rare good songs, which is very difficult to be find or composed. I have unique ability to recognize musical harmony in all kind of music in the world.I have genetically inherited intelligence with 4-6 may be 14 thousands years roots from Armenian and Middle East origin.It essence is hundreds generation liberation from heavy work of primitive agriculture, as a consequence improving capillary system in brain and blood supply. That's give ability of complicated associative thinking.High intelligence is in finding connections between as many as possible important facts about one problem or matter. I make comments on inventive scientific level on philosophy, policy, economy, civilisation, personal and social psychology and often know about persons and whole nations what they don't know about themselves.

Tim Goldring Jun 4

Not sure if wrld.org has an arts or literature section? I’m looking for beta readers for a new book “Letters from England”. Here is an overview: OVERVIEW In August 2015, Timothy Goldring, a British businessman, began a sentence of seven years in Changi Maximum Security Prison, Singapore. He had no telephone. He could not always reply to letters. He had a concrete floor, a tikka sleeping mat, and seven cellmates in a cell twelve feet by twenty. The following month, a letter arrived through the food hatch. It was typed. It was from Lancashire. It began: Dear Tim, Trust your accommodation is up to the normal standards. Francis - IT businessman, Fitbit enthusiast, walker of the Yorkshire Dales, dreamer of a bungalow in Burnley with an inside lavatory — wrote to his oldest friend every month for four and a half years. Fifty-one letters. He did not miss a month. He wrote about what was happening in the world, about Donald Trump and Brexit, about his shoulder operation and his grandchildren and the taxi he drove home drunk on New Year’s Eve. He wrote the way he talked — with a Lancashire man’s instinct for irony, an old friend’s instinct for loyalty, and the stubborn conviction that the world continued and his friend was entitled to know about it. He did not write about the cell. He did not write about the sentence. He treated Timothy as he had always treated him: as a man who was interested in the world and entitled to opinions about it. Between every line, unspoken but unmistakable, was a single message: “I have not forgotten you. Here is the world, held open. I’m keeping your place in it warm.” Letters from England is two books woven into one. It is Francis’s book — a month-by-month chronicle of Britain, seen through the lens of one man’s grim, affectionate, furiously funny dispatch from the outside world. And it is Timothy’s book — the replies he could not send at the time: what it is to receive, month after month, the voice of a friend speaking from a world you can no longer reach. What it is to discover, in the most reduced of circumstances, that a smaller world is not necessarily a lesser one. That a monk’s cell and a prison cell are, in certain lights, the same room. That friendship, at its most austere — stripped of presence, of reciprocal conversation, of every ordinary reassurance — is perhaps the most extraordinary thing there is. This is not a story of crime or punishment. It is a story of loyalty. Of what one man does when another disappears from the world. He writes. Month after month. Into the silence. Because the alternative — to say nothing, to let the distance win — was, for Francis, sat in his cottage in Lancashire, simply not acceptable. If anyone is interested let me know and we’ll figure out how to get a pdf to you. Many thanks.
