Book Description
You are in possession of one of humanity's most ever jealously guarded treasures! This knowledge has been passed down not through written words but verbally through the ages... Since ancient times, men have insatiably searched for answers; and during the early days of our consciousness on this planet, we had a much purer mind and body, which allowed us to discern things better, with more agility and clarity, during which we were able to gain awareness of how certain things work, especially how we interact with ourselves and our environment. The discoveries were amazing, divine, and magical to be conservative. Those discoveries changed the course of humanity forever! The knowledge was so powerful that it was never written in an effort to ensure that only a few would receive it verbally. At a certain point, these jealously-guarded secrets were controlled by secret societies whose societies are composed of the most powerful individuals on earth called the elite class and the minority who believes that everyone should have access to this knowledge; they decided to share it, and now you have in your hands something very difficult to describe its true value. With this knowledge, if you apply it, you have the power to transform your life forever! Discover your inborn/inherited Divine secret abilities within you. With this knowledge and its power, may you never be the same. (KT) Respectfully and with true and honest love for your success, Carlos A. Llorens !Estas en posesion de uno de los tesoros celosamente guardados de los humanos! Este conocimiento ha sido transmitido, no escrito, sino verbalmente a traves de los siglos... Desde la antiguedad, los hombres han buscado insaciablemente respuestas, y durante los primeros tiempos de nuestra conciencia en este planeta, teniamos una mente y un cuerpo mucho mas puros, lo que nos permitio discernir mejor las cosas, con mas agilidad y claridad, durante los cuales pudimos obtener la conciencia de como funcionan ciertas cosa, especialmente como interactuamos con nosotros mismos y nuestro entorno; los descubrimientos fueron asombrosos, divinos y magicos para ser conservadores; !!!esos descubrimientos cambiaron el curso de la humanidad para siempre!!! Esos descubrimientos permitieron a los primeros hombres iluminados ejercitar algunas de nuestras santas habilidades dotadas y lograr algunos de los mayores logros jamas conocidos por la humanidad; el conocimiento era tan poderoso, que nunca fue escrito, en el esfuerzo de asegurar que solo aquellos que demostraron poseer los requisitos previos los recibirian verbalmente a traves de un proceso de tutoria. En cierto punto, esos secretos celosamente guardados fueron controlados a traves de lo que hoy conocemos como Sociedades Secretas, cuyas Sociedades estan compuestas por los individuos mas poderosos de la tierra llamada la clase elite, esta clase se divide en dos partes, la mayoria la cual cree que el resto de la poblacion debe trabajar para ellos, ya que saben como manejar el planeta, y la minoria que cree que todos deben tener acceso a este conocimiento; gracias a su amor por la humanidad, decision y voluntad de compartir este conocimiento, ahora tienen en sus manos algo muy dificil de describir, su verdadero valor. Con este conocimiento y si lo aplicas, !tienes el poder de transformar tu vida para siempre! Descubriras los secretos de tus habilidades heredadas nacidas dentro de ti. De K.

The Secret World
Author: Christopher Andrew
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 030024052X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1019
Book Description
“A comprehensive exploration of spying in its myriad forms from the Bible to the present day . . . Easy to dip into, and surprisingly funny.” —Ben Macintyre in The New York Times Book Review The history of espionage is far older than any of today’s intelligence agencies, yet largely forgotten. The codebreakers at Bletchley Park, the most successful WWII intelligence agency, were completely unaware that their predecessors had broken the codes of Napoleon during the Napoleonic wars and those of Spain before the Spanish Armada. Those who do not understand past mistakes are likely to repeat them. Intelligence is a prime example. At the outbreak of WWI, the grasp of intelligence shown by US President Woodrow Wilson and British Prime Minister Herbert Asquith was not in the same class as that of George Washington during the Revolutionary War and eighteenth-century British statesmen. In the first global history of espionage ever written, distinguished historian and New York Times–bestselling author Christopher Andrew recovers much of the lost intelligence history of the past three millennia—and shows us its continuing relevance. “Accurate, comprehensive, digestible and startling . . . a stellar achievement.” —Edward Lucas, The Times “For anyone with a taste for wide-ranging and shrewdly gossipy history—or, for that matter, for anyone with a taste for spy stories—Andrew’s is one of the most entertaining books of the past few years.” —Adam Gopnik, The New Yorker “Remarkable for its scope and delightful for its unpredictable comparisons . . . there are important lessons for spymasters everywhere in this breathtaking and brilliant book.” —Richard J. Aldrich, Times Literary Supplement “Fans of Fleming and Furst will delight in this skillfully related true-fact side of the story.” —Kirkus Reviews “A crowning triumph of one of the most adventurous scholars of the security world.” —Financial Times Includes illustrations

Secrets of the Secret Service
Author: Gary J. Byrne
Publisher: Center Street
ISBN: 1546082484
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller CRISIS OF CHARACTER comes an explosive new exposé of the Secret Service. The United States Secret Service is tasked with protecting our Presidents, their families, and the complex in which they live and work. Given this important mission, world stability rests upon the shoulders of its agents. In his new book, former Secret Service officer Gary Byrne takes readers behind the scenes to understand the agency's history and today's security failings that he believes put Americans at risk The American public knows the stories of Secret Service heroism, but they don't know about the hidden legacy of problems that have plagued the agency ever since its creation. Gary Byrne says that decades of catastrophic public failures, near misses, and bureaucratic and cultural rot threaten to erode this critical organization from the inside out. Today, as it works to protect President Trump, the Secret Service stands at a crossroads, and the time needed to choose the right course is running out. Agents and officers are leaving the Secret Service in droves, or they're being overworked to the point where they lose focus on the job. Management makes decisions based on politics, not the welfare of their employees. Byrne believes that this means danger for the men and women of the Secret Service, danger for the President they protect, and danger for the nation. In this book, he shares what he has witnessed and learned about the Secret Service with the hope that the problems of this most important agency can be fixed before it's too late.

A former Secret Service agent revisits his twenty-three-year career, including his time as Ronald Reagan’s bodyguard, in this “engaging” memoir (Publishers Weekly).

Book Description
Think you know about British history and the causes of the First World War? Think again. This fascinating and gripping study of events at the turn of the Twentieth Century is a remarkable insight into how political and social factors that we widely accept to be the causes of The Great War, were really just a construct put together by a very small, but powerful, political elite... 'Thought-provoking . . . Docherty and Macgregor do not mince their words . . . their arguments are powerful' -- Britain at War 'Simply astonishing' -- ***** Reader review 'Very illuminating' -- ***** Reader review 'You simply MUST read this book' -- ***** Reader review 'This is a page-turner' -- ***** Reader review *********************************************************************************** Hidden History uniquely exposes those responsible for the First World War. It reveals how accounts of the war's origins have been deliberately falsified to conceal the guilt of the secret cabal of very rich and powerful men in London responsible for the most heinous crime perpetrated on humanity. For ten years, they plotted the destruction of Germany as the first stage of their plan to take control of the world. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was no chance happening. It lit a fuse that had been carefully set through a chain of command stretching from Sarajevo through Belgrade and St Petersburg to that cabal in London. Our understanding of these events has been firmly trapped in a web of falsehood and duplicity carefully constructed by the victors at Versailles in 1919 and maintained by compliant historians ever since. The official version is fatally flawed, warped by the volume of evidence they destroyed or concealed from public view. Hidden History poses a tantalising challenge. The authors ask only that you examine the evidence they lay before you . . .
