RAISE AWARENESS. SOLVE PROBLEMS. SAVE CHILDREN. The US healthcare system and the CDC recommended vaccine schedule are injuring children in unnecessary and systemic ways.

Goals for this
1. To create awareness that children are being systemically hurt by the current CDC recommended vaccination schedule and healthcare practices in this country.
2. To inform parents of what is truly happening regarding science, medicine, and healthcare, so that they will be able to make better choices for their children.
3. To expose the collusion and corruption of Big Pharma, Big Government, and Big Tech and their current practices to the public, so the public will no longer be deceived and manipulated.
4. To effect changes within the system, and/or create new laws, so that people and their children are protected by a system which promotes health and safety and is not focused primarily on profits.

The Book
This book is divided into five chapters. The first part of this book shows where we are currently in this country with our beliefs, and how these beliefs were shaped by the history of science and medicine, government health organizations, and Big Tech and its related media. In the second chapter a perfect example for science and medical research was sought and found in the life of Louis Pasteur. He provides methods of how scientific research should be done, and what its purpose in humanity should be for, which is the progress of science for the betterment of humanity. As we look at Pasteur and his life, his methods are compared with those of our modern scientists. This comparison exposes many of the problems with our modern scientific methods. In chapter three, solutions are proposed for these problems. Chapter four goes deeper into these sixteen solutions and provides research material and supporting evidence that these problems do exist, and how they can be solved. The final chapter, chapter five, shows how we can all become a part of the solution for these problems.

John Lennon and Paul McCartney knew each other for twenty-three years, from 1957 to 1980. This book is the myth-shattering biography of a relationship that changed the cultural history of the world.

The Beatles shook the world to its core in the 1960’s and, to this day, remain an active ingredient in our cultural bloodstream, as new generations fall in love with their songs and their story. At the heart of this phenomenon lies the dynamic between John and Paul. Few other musical partnerships have been rooted in such a deep, intense and complicated personal relationship.

John and Paul’s relationship was defined by its complexity: compulsive, tender and tempestuous; full of longing, riven by jealousy. Like the band, their relationship was always in motion, never in equilibrium for long. John and Paul traces its twists and turns and reveals how these shifts manifested themselves in the music. Yoko Ono remarked on the resemblance of their friendship to a romantic relationship and suggested that at some point that’s what John wanted it to be. The two of them shared a private language, rooted in the stories, comedy and songs they both loved as teenagers, and later, in the lyrics of Beatles songs.

In John and Paul, acclaimed writer on human psychology and creativity Ian Leslie traces the shared journey of these men before, during and after The Beatles, offering us both a new look at two of the greatest icons in music history, and rich insights into the nature of creativity, collaboration, and human intimacy.

Resist: How a Century of Young Black Activists Shaped America

What do the struggles of the past teach us about the urgent challenges in our own time? Resist chronicles the inspiring story of young Black activists who have fought tirelessly at the helm for justice over the last century, from the 1920s to the Trayvon generation—how they reshaped America, left an indelible mark on history, and pave the way for the crucial work that must be done today.

Growing up as a Nigerian immigrant in the South Bronx, award-winning journalist Rita Omokha contended with her Blackness. In 2020, when George Floyd died at the hands of a white police officer, her exploration further developed as she traveled to thirty states attempting to mine contemporary race relations in the U.S. During her trip, she encountered audacious young people like 17-year-old Darnella Frazier, who filmed Floyd’s murder, entering a seismic tragedy into the public and historical records, which in turn set off a wave of unprecedented protests across the country. Darnella’s quick thinking and courage in that moment is part of a more significant that of the young Black people—often only teenagers—who have been at the forefront of fortifying and safeguarding American democracy in the last hundred years.

In Resist, Rita charts the last century of that activism, from the early years of renowned activist Ella Baker, an HBCU student who established critical grassroots organizing networks in the 1920s, and others she inspired, who fought for policy changes in the wake of the unjust trial of the Scottsboro Nine to the first glimpse of allyship in the Bates Seven and a renewed examination of the Black Panthers, all the way to the current generation of young Black revolutionaries who walked American cities in the wake of the murders of countless Black people, from Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown to George Floyd. Rita also draws on her own experiences as a Black immigrant living in America, offering a unique and insightful perspective on this ongoing struggle for justice.

Rendered with empathy and care, Resist ties these pivotal stories together—and so many more that are lesser known—into one gripping narrative of resilience and unity, and how young Black activists redefined American history.
