DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Candice Wuehle's irresistibly weird debut novel Monarch is the kind of book that you want to start reading again immediately after turning the last page—not just to trace the conspiracy at its heart, but to appreciate how its kaleidoscope of beauty pageants, Y2K anxieties, famous dead girls, and deep state machinations synthesizes into an exploration of what makes up a self . . . Poetic, haunting."—Kristen Martin, NPR After waking up with a strange taste in her mouth and mysterious bruises, former child pageant star Jessica Clink unwittingly begins an investigation into a nefarious deep state underworld. Equipped with the eccentric education of her father, Dr. Clink (a professor of Boredom Studies and the founder of an elite study group known as the Devil’s Workshop), Jessica uncovers a disquieting connection between her former life as a beauty queen and an offshoot of Project MKUltra known as MONARCH. As Jessica moves closer to the truth, she begins to suspect the involvement of everyone around her, including her own mother, Grethe (a Norwegian pageant queen turned occult American wellness guru for suburban housewives). With the help of Christine (her black-lipsticked riot grrrl babysitter and confidante), Jessica sets out to take down Project MONARCH. More importantly, she must discover if her first love, fellow teen queen Veronica Marshall, was genuine or yet another deep state plant. Merging iconic true crime stories of the ’90s (Lorena Bobbitt, Nicole Brown Simpson, and JonBenét Ramsey) with theories of human consciousness, folklore, and a perennial cultural fixation with dead girls, MONARCH questions the shadow sides of self-concept: Who are you if you don’t know yourself?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn a time of climate change and mass extinction, how we garden matters more than ever: “An outstanding and deeply passionate book.” —Marc Bekoff, author of The Emotional Lives of Animals Plenty of books tell home gardeners and professional landscape designers how to garden sustainably, what plants to use, and what resources to explore. Yet few examine why our urban wildlife gardens matter so much—not just for ourselves, but for the larger human and animal communities. Our landscapes push aside wildlife and in turn diminish our genetically programmed love for wildness. How can we get ourselves back into balance through gardens, to speak life's language and learn from other species? Benjamin Vogt addresses why we need a new garden ethic, and why we urgently need wildness in our daily lives—lives sequestered in buildings surrounded by monocultures of lawn and concrete that significantly harm our physical and mental health. He examines the psychological issues around climate change and mass extinction as a way to understand how we are short-circuiting our response to global crises, especially by not growing native plants in our gardens. Simply put, environmentalism is not political; it's social justice for all species marginalized today and for those facing extinction tomorrow. By thinking deeply and honestly about our built landscapes, we can create a compassionate activism that connects us more profoundly to nature and to one another.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSome people are like monarch butterflies—solitary by nature, on a passionate search for somewhere. Critically acclaimed songwriter Courtney Marie Andrews presents her first poetry collection. This poetry collection reads like a transformation, me, the narrator, being the figurative Old Monarch. Documenting this journey, the book is separated into three sections, "Sonoran Milkweed," "Longing In Flight," and "Eucalyptus Tree (My Arrival to Rest)." In the first stage of my journey, I explore my childhood in Arizona, and the naive assumptions of youth. At this stage in my journey, I am impressionable, seeing the world with all its nuances for the first time. Through the landscape of the Sonoran Desert, I explore some dark family dynamics and what a child sees. Several characters turn up in the early poems including my cowboy grandpa, and the single mother who raised me, despite many forthcomings. The early poems also explore my desire to see a brighter world of possibility beyond the dusty desert island, and see humans more clearly within the confounds of discovery. In the second stage, I have left home. I am falling in love for the first time, as I become a young woman. Finally, the last stage is the old monarch's arrival to the garden. There are a lot of metaphysical and philosophical poems in this section. I arrive at the figurative garden, and I finally understand the journey at the edge of my life. There are a lot of poems in the context of a garden here, accepting mortality and the ever-changing world. These are meant to be wise old woman poems.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRejected by their own kind for bearing the mark of the Shadow Monarch, the Iron Elves chose instead to serve with the human armies of the Calahrian Empire, hoping through their dedication and discipline to wipe out the stain of their birth. Their reputation is legendary -- until their commander, Konowa Swiftdragon, takes it upon himself -- for the best of reasons -- to assassinate the Viceroy. Court-martialled and exiled to the forest he despises, his beloved regiment disgraced, dishonoured and disbanded, Konowa finds himself suddenly recalled and ordered to re-form the Iron Elves for one last reconnaissance mission. But the new Iron Elves are not at all the same as they were before, and the mission is a suicidal one, with more at stake than Konowa could possibly have imagined. For the Shadow Monarch and her allies have harnessed destructive forces with the power to tear worlds apart -- and those who bear her mark have a destiny greater than they know. So begins an heroic journey in the company of a motley band of misfits, rebels and outcasts, with a central character whose engaging, brilliantly realised blend of cynicism, dry humour, duty and anguish make him unlike any other in fantasy fiction.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor more information about my books see www.KerthBarker.com I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT I AM NOT A THERAPIST AND THAT I AM NOT GIVING ADVICE ON THERAPY IN THIS BOOK. This book is informational, and the information in it may be useful to therapists and to those persons recovering from Monarch Mind Control. But you the reader are solely responsible for what you do with this information. In 2014, I wrote and published a book called Mental Liberation in the Age of Thought Control. In it I described techniques used by Therapists to deprogram and heal MK Ultra and Satanic Ritual Abuse. Monarch Mind Control is the name of a system of mind control that evolved out of Satanic Ritual Abuse and the MK Ultra research program. As a result of my Mental Liberation book's publication, some therapists and survivors of Monarch Mind Control then contacted me and gave me feedback. Some had found my books useful. And some therapists explained to me their own techniques for helping the victims of Monarch Mind Control. Because of the hostile and covert nature of those organizations which practice Monarch Mind Control, the therapists who help recovering persons need to remain anonymous. So I was asked to take their feedback and publish it in one of my books so that they could remain anonymous. This book here on Overcoming Monarch Mind Control may not give you enough information in itself to conduct therapy. But it will give you unique information which you cannot find anywhere else. And if you are interested in how to recover from Monarch Mind Control or how to help others to recover, this book contains useful information. From it you can get a clearer idea of how Monarch Mind Control works and how a therapy system can be developed to help the victims of Monarch Mind Control. This book also briefly tells the story of some persons who have recovered from Monarch Mind Control. I have priced this book so that, if you include my expense in advertising, I don't really make any money from this book. I am publishing it because this information really needs to be put out into the public awareness at this time. Monarch Mind Control has been used on countless thousands of victims, most of who do not even know that they have been the victims of this mind control system. However, some persons have figured out that they have been victimized by this mind control technique, and such persons sometimes seek help from therapists. Many legitimate therapists are struggling to understand how they can help to treat such persons. Because the government and the mass media presently suppress all public knowledge of this phenomena, treating Monarch Mind Control is not taught to psychologists in Universities. So this book is designed to try to fill in the information gap. If you combine the information in this book with a knowledge of publicly known techniques for therapy, then an effective system of therapy for Monarch Mind Control will emerge. Also a victim of Monarch Mind Control may be able to read this book and get some idea of how to find a helpful therapist. Some persons who have a political interest in the nature of Monarch Mind Control may also find this book of interest. As Monarch Mind Control is so widespread, and because it has influenced the political events of our time in such a profound way, this book is a book that anyone should find of interest. I have limited resources to promote this book. So if you do purchase this book and find it useful, please do what you can to tell others about it. Thank You.
