Let me tell you why you should be reading this book. You’re here because you know something. What you know you cannot explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life, that there is something wrong with the world. You don’t know exactly what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to this book. Our ancestors did not realise that they were duped – that these unpredictable and claimed, one off banking and financial crisis, are in fact deliberately engineered by commercial bankers to create the illusion that there is a problem, that only they can provide the solution. The way banks crush the people is to grind them between the millstones of debt and engineered inflation. This book provides a positive future for Money that is completely different, where capital will be scarce and therefore valued. The free flow of Capital means capital will be less wasted on spurious, inflationary, or speculative projects. Capital will be the basis for recovering economic progress, so sadly lost at an increasing pace since the dollar became purely an irredeemable fiat currency based solely upon unrepayable future dated private bank debt. The World Currency Unit, carries no credit or counterparty risks, it serves as a "value anchor" to the worlds currencies within all economic environments, making it the most crucial reserve asset worldwide. Collectively with the knowledge of money, currency, and capital, free from all forms of extortion and violence, we can change our future, this book provides the knowledge and tools to create a better world for ourselves, our family, and our society.

Have you ever felt something so deep that it scared you? Have you ever felt so drowned in emotion that it drained you? Have you ever faced something so real that it forever changed you? This book is a collection of those moments, thoughts, poetry, musings and observations that are woven into an unconscious, yet hugely familiar narrative. In these words, you will find your moments of fear, expressions of joy, teardrops of truth, questions of curiosity and reflections on love. If only words could breathe, they would have this to say.

In Years of Upheaval,Henry Kissinger recalls the turbulent years of the second administration of Richard Nixon, which began in January 1973. Two momentous events and their consequences dominate this account: the Watergate scandal, and the 1973 October war in the Middle East. The book opens at the Western White House in August 1973, when Dr. Kissinger is told by the president during a poolside conversation that he is to become Secretary of State. The memories that follow are a rich compendium of his experiences in the months before and after the appointment: including an eerie trip to Hanoi shortly after the Vietnam cease-fire; efforts to settle the war in Cambodia; the tempestuous Year of Europe; two Nixon-Brezhnev summits and the controversy over détente. Dr. Kissinger's dramatic, day-by-day account of how the Middle East war was transformed into the beginning of peacemaking shapes the climactic chapters of the book, in counterpoint to the worsening crisis at home, which culminated with Nixon's resignation. His frank portrait of Nixon's last days in the White House is perhaps the most perceptive to date.

As part of the Scottish Parliament Oral History Project, around 80 interviews were conducted with staff, MSPs and journalists, old and new, about their careers and experiences at the Scottish Parliament. This book compiles extracts from some of these interviews, detailing the institution's rich history. This is the story of the Scottish Parliament so far, telling its story through those who know it best. Through its comparatively short life, the Parliament has been tested. What was once an upstart institution, unsure of its place in the world, has now become an ingrained part of the nation's political landscape. Now is an ideal moment to take stock of the Parliament's 20-year history – to investigate its origins, its early days and how it has developed over the past two decades.
