Sacred Cows
Summary
Did you know that God forbids the tying of shoelaces on Saturdays? Or that humans emit a colorful aura that can be discerned only with a Third Eye? That bountiful harvest requires the flinging of a live goat from a church bell tower? That instead of wishing upon a star, we can wish upon a...cow? Well into the 21st century, our species continues to participate in beliefs and customs that seem more suited to the Bronze Age than the Information Age, some of which involve poisonous snakes, holy smoke, urine bubbles, crystals, tarot cards, aliens, costumed virgins, and, of course, an offering plate. Join Seth Andrews for a random romp across the planet and a humorous look at some of humanity's Sacred Cows.

New and improved version released July 2015! Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is a disorder where a child shows a constant display of negativity, defiance, disobedience, and downright violence toward their parents, teachers, or any other authority figure. When a child has ODD, he or she will often be persistently stubborn; resisting any request or directive made by an adult. He or she will be unwilling to compromise or negotiate with adults or even with their peers. These children will do things just to test your patience and limits and will always refuse to accept they have done something wrong, even when they have. The important thing to understand is these children are not intentionally devilish. They believe in their heart the requests you make of them are unjust and unreasonable. Therefore, saying "No" is the best thing to do from their perspective. Often, this kind of behavior will cause the child to suffer socially, academically, and, most importantly, emotionally. Luckily, this disorder is treatable, and with proper guidance, a parent can achieve great progress with his or her child.

Dark Seduction
Summary
Seduction is one of the areas of life that has the potential to bring people the most pleasure and the most pain. If people are able to effectively move through life getting what they want and need out of romance and relationships then they are sure to be spared the pain of heartbreak and loneliness. If people are unable to master this area of existence then they set themselves up for disappointment and despair. Most people stumble through life, never taking conscious control of their seductive efforts, never figuring out exactly what it is that makes some people masters of seduction, and other people permanently alone and bitter. Dark Seduction by Michael Pace represents the pinnacle of dark seductive knowledge, which has been collected, tested, and understood by the seduction community. The fact that a secret society of seducers exists at all will be news to some people. This knowledge is so powerful that some governments have literally banned people from teaching it within their nation. Some of the most devastatingly effective pickup techniques of all time are detailed within these words. They may shock and surprise listeners - but they may well seduce them at the same time. What follows is a practical, psychological, and philosophical exploration of the topic of seduction, conducted from a dark perspective. It aims only to uncover the truth behind the secrets of seduction and present real, tried and tested information without any spin, gloss, or romantic distortion. The book is not for the faint of heart or weak of mind. It is amoral and will shock many. Proceed with caution.

The Gulags
Summary
One of the most idiosyncratic horrors of Soviet Russia was the Gulag system, an extensive network of forced labor and concentration camps. Part of the rationale behind this system was that it could serve as slave labor in the drive for industrialization while also serving as a form of punishment. The name Gulag is in fact an acronym, approximating to “Main Administration of Camps” (in Russian: Glavnoe Upravlenie Lagerei) and operated by the Soviet Union’s Ministry of the Interior. The Gulag consisted of internment camps, forced labor camps, psychiatric hospital facilities, and special laboratories, and its prisoners were known as zeks. Such was the closed and secretive nature of the Soviet state that to this day, knowledge of the Gulag system comes mainly from Western studies, firsthand accounts by prisoners such as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, and some local studies after the fall of communism. The most recognizable version of the Gulag, a term that was never pluralized in Russia itself, existed from the 1930s to 1950s, a period in which a huge network of camps and prisons was established across the vast Soviet federation. Prisoners were often used as forced labor, made to do physically arduous and soul-destroying tasks. Some workers helped to build large infrastructure projects, and indeed, the system was partly rationalized in terms of economics. By the early 1960s, Gulags were synonymous with various forms of punishments, including house arrest, imprisonment in isolated places, or confinement to a mental hospital where a prisoner would be declared insane or diagnosed with a “political” form of psychosis. In its later years, the Gulags held a particular place in the public’s imagination, both within the USSR and in the outside world. They could mean exile, brutal punishment, or simply being banished to Siberia. Though it’s often forgotten today, in many respects, the Gulags represented a continuation (albeit a more far-reaching version) of the kind of punishment meted out during the Russian Empire under the Romanov dynasty, which was overthrown in 1917. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the system in the context of the broader history of Russia and its empire, even as the system of repression, imprisonment, and punishment persisted for decades in the Soviet Union and has been primarily aligned with the rule of one leader: Josef Stalin. The USSR collapsed in December 1991, and it can be argued that the labor camps were not only integral to the very existence of the Soviet Union, but also a damning indictment of the Soviets’ failed experiment in communist totalitarianism. The Gulags: The History and Legacy of the Notorious Soviet Labor Camps examines the rise of the labor camps, how they were institutionalized by Soviet leaders, and what life was like for the prisoners.

The World's Most Dangerous Secret Societies
Summary
To some, the term "secret society" conjures up an image of a shadowy and elite cabal meeting behind smoke-filled rooms, discussing tactics of world domination and manipulation straight out of the most far-fetched espionage thrillers. To others, the image of secluded men (and occasionally women!) banding together in exotic garb to perform colorful ceremonies, impart hidden knowledge, and bestow fancy but incomprehensible titles upon one another springs to mind. But just how far-fetched and fanciful is the prospect of a secret society? Could it be that, in any given echelon of the population, there are groups that exercise inordinate amounts of power and influence over the rest of us? Could these exotic, members-only clubs really pose such an immediate threat to our well-being that our very way of life is endangered? Quite frankly, the disturbing answers to those particular questions are yes and yes. Right in our midst there absolutely exists clandestine organizations, consisting of both men and women, who wield a dangerous amount of influence and power over the entire world populace. In his book, entitled The World's Most Dangerous Secret Societies, author James Jackson explores these dangerous secret organizations and their members. He expounds upon their beliefs, hidden agendas, and their ultimate goals of a new world order and world domination. Here are a few of some of the dangerous secret societies that will be thoroughly examined. The Freemasons The Illuminati Skull and Bones The Bilderberg Group Council on Foreign Relations The Trilateral Commission The Society of Jesuits The Committee of 300 The Knights Templar And many more
