Blood Moon Over Australia: Chinese invasion or Union with the United States.
Remember the June 1944 Allied landings on D-Day in Normandy, France, and associated airborne operations under the command of US General Dwight D. Eisenhower,
code named "Operation Neptune" (also "Operation Overlord"), which was the largest seaborne invasion in history of 3,100 landing crafts with 156,000 American, British, Canadian, some French, Polish and
British Commonwealth forces landing on five beaches under cover of fire from 1,200 warships and 7,500 aircraft along a 50-mile stretch of the heavily fortified coast of France's Normandy region.
Only China is the power today that can man and equip such an operation on the shores of Australia. How can such a Chines master plan be usurped, perhaps even turned into the opposite direction if not by
Australia's Union with the United States, the world's superpower today. An alliance alone is unpredictably unreliable.
China has become an Orwellian surveillance state under Xi Jinping's authoritarian rule, a brutal repression of the democracy movement in Hong Kong by repudiating the 1997 agreements with the UK, and the
threat of China's war against tiny Taiwan, saying that "resolving the Taiwan question was an unshakeable commitment and he vowed to take resolute action to utterly defeat any attempt toward Taiwan
independence." Even the thought and horror of life under Chinese rule of Australia's free and democratic, mainly white and Christian population, is revolting.
The unstoppable military expansion of China pressing for control of the Western and Southern Pacific poses a threat to Australia that Australia cannot confront alone. The United States cannot cede the
Pacific in whole or in part to China, either. In the event of an armed conflict, Australia must have a relationship with a power that can block and contain China and that has an imperative to do so.
One defense, probably the only one, is the political and military reformation of Australia's alliance, namely Union into the United States discussed herein.
Surveys confirm that "Australians fear attack from China almost as much as Taiwanese do" (The Guardian 08 July 2021). Australia's defence minister, Peter Dutton, said in April 2021 that the risk of
conflict over Taiwan could not be discounted. Around the same time, the secretary of the Department of Home Affairs, Michael Pezzullo, said free nations were again hearing the beating drums towards conflict
and needed to brace for the curse of war. Australians were asked whether they thought China would launch an armed attack on Taiwan, with 13% saying soon and 36% some time, or a total of 49%.
Australia's outgoing secretary of the foreign affairs department, Francis Adamson, a former ambassador to Beijing, characterized China, despite being a great power China was still dogged by insecurity
as much as driven by ambition has a deeply defensive mindset, perceiving external threats even as it pushes its interests over those of others. Insecurity and power can be a volatile combination, more so
if inadvertently mishandled. We need to understand what we are dealing with.

Alzheimer's The Number One Killer - Prevention and Reversal of Cognitive Decline Review of the Expert Literature
There are 5 million Americans with Alzheimer's disease, 30 million in the world. 99% of 75 million Americans don't know that they are positive for the allele ApoE4 which is carried by two-thirds of
Alzheimer's patients. - 45 million of young Americans today, about 15% of the population, do not know they are destined to get Alzheimer's disease during their lifetime, bankrupting Medicare,
if no prevention is instituted.
Alzheimer's was a rare disease before the beginning of the modern consumer society and introduction of processed and fast foods, and all these conveniences of transportation and combustion
engines and turbines, and, most of all, communication by pulsing microwaves used in mobile phone and TETRA communications impacting our brain cells and tissue, destroying them.
We will eventually, perhaps in 30 to 50 years, have killed a sufficient number of our children, youth, grown-ups, particularly in the heavy polluted metropolitan areas of New Delhi, Mumbai,
Beijing, Shanghai, Manila, Jakarta, Cairo, London, New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, and other metropolises, creating an unmanageable backlog of Alzheimer's patients, burgeoning cost of medical care which
is bankrupting private and socialized health care insurers, and eventually the world's population will shrink back to the 2 billion when I was born from the present 7 billion, at a time when we did not have
these radiations and toxicities destroying our brains and killing us softly but surely.
The expert literature says that Alzheimer's cognitive impairment is not incurable, but is entirely preventable and in earlier cases even reversible.

Paracelsus (2014)
Detoxify. Stay natrually slim and young
The only way to lose weight permanently is to detoxify fattening chemicals out of the body, and to avoid foods that are highly toxic.
Chemicals bring about their fattening effect by damaging our body's natural weight control mechanism, or "Slimming System" which has
worked relatively well for hundreds of thousands of years.
Synthetic chemicals such as pesticides, plastics, solvents, etc. are known to damage critical parts of our fat-burning hormones. This damage
results in an increased appetite, reduced fat-burning metabolism,
and a fall in the basic desire to exercise.
The first step in getting a grip on obesity that has taken hold particularly in North America and also in Europe, is to minimize toxicity in our bodies;
while complete purification is no longer possible. The second step is to become selective in the choice of our food intake, keeping toxins away,
increasing nutrients that keep our vital organs healthy, in particular our liver which processes and removes toxins. The third step is a mental,
an attitudinal one, asking ourselves why are we doing this?

Anonymous Author
My Secret Life. An Erotic Memoir of Victorian London. First published 1888.
“My Secret Life is by far the most famous and the longest sexual autobiography written in the nineteenth century. It has in it invaluable material for social and
cultural historians, literary scholars, students of manners and morals—and it has more of what we might call ‘encounters’ than any narrative ever penned in English.”
(From the Introduction by James Kincaid, 1996. New York: Signet Classic - Penguin Putnam.) First published in 1901 entitled "The Dawn of Sensuality," it has been published in many forms and titles, and
seized by censors and police. until it was eventually published in the United States without censorship in 1966 by Grove Press. But in 1969 a British printer,
Arthur Dobson, was sentenced to two years' imprisonment for producing a reprint in Great Britain. My Secret Life has been described as "one of the strangest
and most obsessive books ever written.
"I suppose Fred knew nothing of the girl's pranks, for luckily a kunta cannot speak." (Volume II, p. 119)
"Women have been the greatest joy of my life, and are so to every true man, from infancy to old age. Copulation is the highest pleasure,
both to the body and mind, and is worth all other human pleasures put together. A woman sleeping or waking is a paradise to a man, if he be happy with her,
and he cannot spend his money on anything better, or so good." (Volume II, p. 168)

The Magnificent Graviola or Soursop Tree: A Grower's Guide. Health Benefits and Alternative Cancer Treatment.
Graviola is the Brazilian Portuguese name (also known as soursop) for the fruit of Annona muricata, a broadleaf, flowering, evergreen 4 to 10 meter tall tree
from the Amazon rain forest, also found in the Caribbean, Mexico, South America, Africa and Southeast Asia.
The soursop fruit and other parts of the tree are considered to be underutilized. Information on the composition, nutritional values,
medicinal uses, and toxicology of the soursop fruit and plant is limited and scattered.
This 44-page booklet contains in an organized manner a fair collection of what is available and apparently reliable on the internet. The work provides a detailed description of the tree,
its propagation, cultivation and the beneficial properties and uses of its fruit and leaves.
The standard treatment and killing of cancer cells by way of chemotherapy is an ordeal with traumatic side effects that many patients ultimately refuse
for its severity.
According to Cancer Research UK, "Many sites on the internet advertise and promote graviola capsules as a cancer cure, but none of them are supported
by any reputable scientific cancer organisations" and "there is no evidence to show that graviola works as a cure for cancer."
On the other hand, the renowned Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City lists cancer treatment as one of the purported uses of
soursop, as does the University of Connecticut - Ecology & Evolutionary Biology.
Sloan-Kettering writes: "Graviola extracts from the leaf, fruit, and seed
have been tested in laboratories for their anticancer effects. Some studies show these extracts to be active against breast, lung, colon, prostate, pancreas,
liver, skin cancer, and leukemia cell lines. However, graviola products have not been studied in cancer patients."

The Paintings of Paul Cezanne
The Years 1860 - 1884 Volume I of II
Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) was a French artist and Post-Impressionist
painter whose work laid the foundations of the transition from the 19th century conception of artistic endeavour to a new and radically different world of art
in the 20th century. Cezanne can be said to form the bridge between late 19th century Impressionism and the early 20th century's new line of artistic enquiry,
Cubism. The line attributed to both Matisse and Picasso that Cezanne "is the father of us all" cannot be easily dismissed.

Bhumibol Adulyadej - King of Thailand
A Reportage
King Bhumibol Adulyadej, also known as Rama iX, is highly revered in Thailand, is the longest serving living monarch in the world and in Thai history,
and reportedly also its 'wealthiest'. His Majesty the King was born in the United States while his father studied medicine at Harvard University,
and following his father's early death was raised in isolation from the Thai throne by His mother in Europe (in particular in Lausanne, Switzerland)
where he also attended university, meet his future wife, HM Queen Sirikit, and ascended the throne at the age of 18 following his two year older brother's
tragic death who had been king since age 13. The book provides a detailed summary of the King's and Queen's fascinating and turbulent long lives, their
achievements for the benefit of the nation, their mastery of the political landscape involving numerous military coups and other scandals that are typical
of a developing nation, Thailand being in the unique position of having escaped colonialization through the wise maneuvers of the kings. ISBN 978-1479329083.

Essential Beginner's Guide to Healthy Thai Cooking
Thailand's most famous soup is Tom Yum, a name for two similar soups originating from Laos and Thailand characterized by its distinct hot and sour flavors,
with fragrant herbs generously used. The basic broth is made of stock and fresh ingredients such as lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal (in lieu of ginger),
lime juice, fish sauce and crushed chili peppers. Westerners enjoy Tom yum made with prawns (tom yum kung). Thais use a variety of meats including chicken
(tom yum kai), fish (tom yum pa in Laotian and tom yum pla in Thai), or mixed seafood (tom yum talay or tom yum po taek) and mushrooms - usually straw mushrooms
or oyster mushrooms. The soup is often topped with generous sprinkling of fresh chopped coriander leaves (cilantro). Tom yum paste is made by crushing all the
herb ingredients and stir-frying in oil. Seasoning and other preservative ingredients are then added. The paste is bottled or packaged, and sold around the world.
Tom yum flavored with the paste may have different characteristics from that made with fresh herb ingredients.

Nymphs Mermarids Nudes
Paintings by Waterhouse Leighton Böcklin Renoir Rubens and Dali
|
The Nymphs, Mermaids and Nudes paintings by John William Waterhouse, Maurice Quentin de La Tour, Karl Bryullov, Franz Stuck, Frans Snyders,
Anders Zorn, Alexandre Cabanel, Frederic Alexandre Benois, Leighton, Arnold Böcklin, Henryk Siemiradzki, Peter Paul Rubens, and Salvador Dali.
Naturally, Pierre-August Renoir, a prolific artist who made several thousand paintings, is somewhat over-represented. The warm sensuality of Renoir's
style made his paintings some of the most well-known and frequently-reproduced works in the history of art. The Swiss painter Arnold Böcklin's frolicking
nymphs in this book are a delight to see live at a visit to the Basel Kunstmuseum. Rachmaninoff was inspired by Böcklin's paintings when writing his Prelude
in B minor, Op. 32, No. 10, and Hans Huber's second symphony is entitled Böcklin Sinfonie after the artist and his paintings. Adolf Hitler was fond of Böcklin's work,
at one time owning 11 of his paintings. The book includes the detailed biographies of the painters' remarkable personal lives.

Vincent van Gogh (The years 1881-1890)
The Paintings of Vincent van Gogh Holland, Paris, Arles and Auvers
Edited by Michael Schemmann.
This book contains over 500 paintings on 230 color plates, many of which are in private collections and not easily accessible. The book includes a detailed biography
and a eulogy by contemporary artists: Emile Barnard and Paul Gauguin. Vincent van Gogh lived 120 years ago, and yet his artwork is still altering the way we view beauty, persona, individuality, and style in art.
Van Gogh did not begin painting until his late twenties, completing many of his best-known works during his last two years. He died at the age of 37. In just over a decade, van Gogh produced more than 2,100 artworks,
consisting of 860 oil paintings and more than 1,300 watercolours, drawings, sketches and prints. His many paintings and drawings have been copied by thousands but duplicated by none. What people today consider the
archetypical artistic persona is largely the result of his influence.

Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858)
The Japanese Woodcuts of Hiroshige
Compiled and edited by Michael Schemmann.
This book contains 106 full colour pictures of the artist's famous woodcuts and a detailed biography. Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) was a Japanese painter and printmaker
transmuting everyday landscapes into intimate, lyrical scenes that made him successful. Hiroshige dominated the popular art of Japan in the first half of the 19th century.
His work was not as bold or innovative as that of the older masters, but he captured in a poetic and gentle way that people could understand the ordinary person's experience
of the Japanese landscape as well as the varied moods of memorable places at different times. His total output was immense: some 5400 prints in all.

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa (1864-1901)
The Paintings of Toulouse-Lautrec
Compiled and edited by Michael Schemmann.
This book contains a detailed biography and 350 paintings on 334 full colour plates. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was and remains a remarkable paradox,
writes Florence Coman, Curator of French Paintings at the National Gallery of Art in Washington. Scion of an ancient aristocratic family, he spent his
adult life among the common people of Paris and Montmartre, even taking rooms in a brothel, and he made the city's seamy night life, cafes, cabarets,
dance halls, and theaters the principal subject of his art. Montmartre became established by the 1890s as an enclave famous for its naughty nightly revelry; the community flourished with the
tourist trade attracted by advertisements in the popular press and by eye-catching posters. Lautrec's painting Marcelle Lender Dancing the Bolero in
Chilpéric chronicles the spirit, style, and spectacle of the 1890s, and underscores Lautrec's fascination with the ambiguous boundaries between
art and artifice, and between 'high' and 'low' art. This work, along with his related paintings, drawings, and lithographs, embodies the artist's ultimately
egalitarian vision of life and art.

Paul Gauguin (The years 1887-1903)
The Paintings of Paul Gauguin Bretagne, Martinique, Tahiti and the Marquesas
Edited by Michael Schemmann.
Paul Gauguin was a leading French post-impressionist artist and an important figure in the symbolist movement. While he was poor and struggling during his career as an artist
(he was a Paris stock broker before), today his famous paintings are fetching tens of millions of dollars at auctions in New York and London.
This book includes 310 paintings on 224 color plates (many from private collections not normally available to public view), a detailed biography, a eulogy by Charles Morice (1903),
excerpts from Gauguin's fascinating book "Noa Noa," and is a rather large collection in one compendium covering the prolific artist's most dramatic and expressive 'impressionist'
period from 1887 to his death in 1903. The places of creation were Martinique in the Caribbean; an artist-village in Brittany (Pont-Aven); and Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia.

Tenzin Dawa (2011)
Isan Quiet Splendor
Many writers treat the landscape of Isan with disdain, writes Peter Rogers. Lacking the densely forested
splendor of northern Thai mountains or the easy lure of the southern palm-fringed beaches, there is little to be said of repetitive vistas of rice paddies and
low hills. "Yet those better acquainted with the Northeast... its charm
reveals itself shyly to the connoisseur of Thailand's varied scenery and not to those impressed only by the visual clichés of the tourist posters...
The quite splendor of the Isan landscape, a landscape that can take on the serenity of the far horizons of a Sibelius symphony or a painting by Cezanne…
rice fields and buffalos, its hills and forests. These immemorial views, changing seasonally, are never far from the heart of the Isan rural scene,
encompassing a land that today is less modified by the hand of man than any other part of Thailand."

Thailand Buddhism.
Insight Knowledge
An introduction to 'Theravada Buddhism' practiced in Thailand; a teaching helping people through their lives who
are free to believe what they wish, even disagree with the 'Blessed One'. Buddhism is tolerant of 'divergent views', wherefore ancient animistic spirit worship and the belief
in, and fear of, ghosts, is ever present. 'Spirit houses' are even found on temple grounds. Buddhism is not a scientific revelation, but an elaborate system of classifications
of insight knowledge in the abstract neatly placed into an ordering system: 'Knowledge is truth and can be classified according to right knowledge, or to wrong knowledge and
applied in three forms: doctrine, revelation, or personal knowledge, that is, intelligence.'

Tenzin Dawa (2011)
Nai Luang Beloved King of Thailand.
A History of the Chakri Dynasty.
The author maintains that the independence and integrity of Thailand is assured by three unifying factors: (1) The Thais' carefree disposition, (2) the tolerant Buddhist religion, and (3) the Thai throne.
For seven centuries Thailand has successfully survived as an independent nation while her neighbours disintegrated or fell victim of imperial colonial powers, followed by dictators, cultural revolutions and
exterminations. Thailand's unique and sacred institutions survive and flourish; without either one of them, Thais cannot foresee what their country would be like.
The book covers the Geography, People, Customs, History of the Ruling Kings and their Governments. A fascinating documentary right up to the present (2011).

Sir Charles Eliot (1921)
Buddhism (Vol. III of Hinduism and Buddhism)
Sir Charles Eliot (1921) a renowned British knight diplomat, colonial administrator and botanist describes on about 400 pages the History
and Practices of Buddhism in Asia and Influences in the Western World. According to the author, the spread of Hindu and Buddhist thought was an intellectual conquest, not an exchange of ideas. The influence of
Indian religion on Christianity is part of the wider question of its influence on the west generally. From 200 B.C. until 300 A.D. oriental religion played a considerable part in the countries round the Mediterranean.
In the author's view, "When all allowance is made for similar causes and coincidences, it is hard to believe that a collection of such practices as clerical celibacy, confession, the veneration of relics,
the use of the rosary and bells can have originated independently in both religions." 398 pages ISBN 978-1466333000.

Sigmund Freud (1920)
Dream Psychology. Psycho-analysis for Beginners.
Sigmund Freud's (1920) discoveries of the unconscious received a scornful reception by the medical; he was first laughed at
and then avoided as a crank. Freud's theories are anything but theoretical, but a pragmatic view that "truth is what works. Five facts of first magnitude were made obvious to the
world by his interpretation of dreams: First, a constant connection between some part of every dream and some detail of the dreamer's life during the previous waking state.
Secondly, secret thoughts in every dream and the attempted or successful gratification of some wish, conscious or unconscious. Thirdly, dream visions are symbolical but transparent
to the trained observer. Fourthly, sexual desires play an enormous part in our unconscious, a part which puritanical hypocrisy has always tried to minimize, and finally a direct
connection between dreams and insanity.

Sigmund Freud (3e 1914)
Theory of Sex.
Freud has been able to establish on a firm footing the remarkable thesis that psychoneurotic illnesses never occur with a perfectly normal sexual life.
Other sorts of emotions contribute to the result, but some aberration of the sexual life is always present, as the cause of especially insistent emotions and repressions.
The instincts with which each child is born furnish desires or cravings which must be dealt with in some fashion. They may be so far as is necessary and desirable into energies
of other sorts - as happens readily with the play-instinct - or they may remain as the source of perversions and inversions, and of cravings of new sorts substituted for those
of the more primitive kinds under the pressure of a conventional civilization. The symptoms of the functional psychoneuroses represent, after a fashion, some of these distorted
attempts to find a substitute for the imperative cravings born of the sexual instincts, and their form often depends, in part at least, on the peculiarities of the sexual life in infancy and early childhood.

The Hawaiians, it is true, were many removes from being primitives; their dreams, however, harked back to a period that was close to the world's infancy.
Their remote ancestry was, perhaps, akin to ours--Aryan, at least Asiatic--but the orbit of their evolution seems to have led them away from the strenuous discipline that has whipped the Anglo-Saxon branch
into fighting shape with fortune.

Irving Fisher (1935)
100% Money: Designed to keep checking banks 100% liquid; to prevent inflation and deflation; largely to cure or prevent depression; and to wipe out much of
the National Debt.
We have an unfortunate system under which our circulating medium, our money, is a by-product of private debt. The essence of the 100% plan is to make money
independent of loans; that is, to divorce the process of creating and destroying money from the business of banking, ending the chronic inflations and deflations which have ever been the great economic curse
sprung largely from banking. Paperback 200 pages, illustrated. ISBN 978-1463553357

Irving Fisher
The Nature of Capital and Income
SCHUMPETER REGARDED The Nature of Capital and Income as one of the three of Fisher's (1906) contributions generally recognized as "of first-class importance
and originality. A significant achievement of The Nature of Capital and Income is its clarity in insisting on the distinction between stocks and flows and on careful attention to the dimensionalities of the concepts
used in economic discourse. One of Fisher's complaints about Adam Smith and his followers was their confusion on these points. According to Fisher, writers before Smith made more sense." (From the review by James
Tobin, 1991.)

John Stuart Mill (1861)
Considerations on Representative Government with the Author's Autobiography.
"In this magnificent work, John Stuart Mill advocates representative government as the most sensible compromise
between unreflective rule by the masses and the self-indulgence of the few. "The reader may sense that Mill is being pulled in opposing directions: steadfastly
committed to majority rule with minority rights while at the same time being just enough of an aristocrat to believe that the masses need examplars to emulate."

Jules Verne (1873)
Around the World in Eighty Days
The story starts in London on October 2, 1872. A rich English gentleman and bachelor living in solitude

which he will receive if he makes it around the world in 80 days, leaves London by train at 8:45 P.M. on October 2, 1872, and thus is due back
at the Reform Club at the same time in 80 days.

Jules Verne (1867)
From the Earth to the Moon
Some time after the end of the American Civil War, a Gun Club in Baltimore designs and builds a large cannon
that can shoot a projectile so that it reaches the moon. The Club raises money in America and Europe, deciding the place for the launch is Stone's Hill in
"Tampa Town," Florida; predating Kennedy Space Center's placement by almost 100 years. Jules Verne gives the exact position as 27º 7' northern latitude
and 5º 7' western longtitude, of course relative to the meridian of Washington, DC. In the end, the projectile is successfully launched, but the destinies of
the three astronauts are left inconclusive. The sequel starting in the middle of the book, "Around the Moon", deals with what happens to the three men in their
travel from the Earth to the Moon. ISBN 978-1463772451

Sigmund Freud (1873)
Totem and Taboo. Resemblances Between the Psychic Lives of Savages and Neurotics.
Taboo still exists in our midst, is negatively conceived and directed to different contents, but according to its psychological nature, it is still nothing else than Kant's
"Categorical Imperative" which tends to act compulsively and rejects all conscious motivations.
Totemism on the other hand is a religio-social institution which is alien to our present feelings;
it has long been abandoned and replaced by new forms. In the religions, morals, and customs of the civilized races of today it has left
only slight traces, and even among those races where it is still retained, it has had to undergo great changes. The social and material
progress of the history of mankind could obviously change taboo much less than totemism.

Hermann Hesse (1922)
Siddhartha An Indian Tale
Siddhartha is one of the most popular Western novels set in India around the time of Gautama Buddha.
The novel is structured on three of the traditional stages of life for Hindu males - student (brahmacarin), householder (grihastha) and recluse/renunciate (vanaprastha) - as well
as the Buddha's four noble truths (Part One) and eightfold path (Part Two) which form twelve chapters, the number in the novel. A major preoccupation of Hesse in writing Siddhartha
was to cure his 'sickness with life' (Lebenskrankheit) by immersing himself in Indian philosophy such as that expanded in the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita.
The reason the second half of the book took so long to write was that Hesse had not experienced that transcendental state of unity to which Siddhartha aspires. In an attempt to do so,
Hesse lived as a virtual semi-recluse and became totally immersed in the sacred teachings of both Hindu and Buddhist scriptures.

Roland G. Mertens (2009)
Pink Snowberries The Last Taboo a memoir
In his startling new memoir, Pink Snowberries: the Last Taboo, German author Roland G. Mertens chronicles
his incestuous relationship with his daughter Sonia. Beginning in 1981 and ending in 1992, this saga is an account of the couple's relationship, the birth of
their two children, and the custody battle that ensued. The book also includes historical, legal, and cross-cultural information about the concept of incest.
Prefacing the narrative is a poem by D. H. Lawrence, called "Elegy," in which the speaker laments being separated from his lover, while the moon interacts with
the stars "like a white bird among snowberries." Perhaps the bird symbolizes Mertens, and the pink snowberry symbolizes his daughter, but this comparison is never
made explicit. His dialogue, letters, and court documents place the audience in the middle of the action. He shows how a single issue can polarize loved
ones and presents a sad, haunting depiction of Sonia's bipolar disorder.(From the Book Review by Jill Allen.)

Anonymous Author (2005)
Writings of a Finnish Military Expert on 9-11
Laymen have no experience in observing differences in collapses of sky scrapers, controlled demolitions and
underground nuclear demolitions. Even the destruction of heavy steel constructions or a typical fire damage are far away from their field of experience.
These towers were built to take the impacts of hitting Boeing 707's, comparable to Boeing 767's, taking into account the fires caused by the aviation fuel.
And the buildings did survive well all that. The knowledge of relevant advances regarding weapon technology is even rarer. Many of those who are up to date are
bound by strict commitment of loyalty that is vigorously looked after. In some cases, they are 'eliminated' (an 'accident' occurs). The author of this text
feels as his duty to spread mainly the advanced knowledge in explosives from a military point of view in public discussion as it is obvious that lacking this
information the events observed around 9-11 cannot be explained.

Tenzin Dawa (2011)
Thermo-Nuclear Demolition.
A Documentary of America's Atomic History, Political Psychopathy
and the 9-11 World Trade Center Debacle.
'Thermo-Nuclear Demolition' is a documentary about America's nuclear history, the political psychopathy in Washington, and the loss of civil liberties
promoting a fascist State. The demolition of the extremely solid and massive steel construction of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 is explained
in detail by an anonymous 'Finnish Military Expert' who compares the World Trade Center on 9-11 with a virtual 'nuclear blast site,' supported by photographic
evidence, the typical phenomena, as well as a documentation of precedents for political expediencies including the Pearl Harbor cover-up, the decisions that
led to the use of the atomic bomb against Japan, and the subsequent development of 'clean' directional mini-hydrogen bombs.

The 9 -11 Factum People v. Bush Cheney et al.
"Bush and Cheney observed before 9/11, that the American people would not support the attacks on Afghanistan and
Iraq, and the geo-strategic wars without being shocked by the cataclysmic event of a thermonuclear demolition of the World Trade Center (a "new Pearl Harbor") blamed
on Osama bin Laden - who did not have the means whatsoever - and launching their Global War on Terror."
A Factum (Latin: Fact, act, or deed) in British-Canadian law is a statement of fact and law delivered before a court, providing an overview of the case,
detailed statement of relevant facts, reference to evidentiary documentation, the legal issues, outlining the "brief" in the legal arguments, and specific
references to the governing statutory, judicial and/or academic authorities, making a specific request for relief.
