Crystal methamphetamine is reaching epidemic levels among gay men in the US. Tweakers - crystal addicts - get a quick cheap high, an exhilarating loss of inhibition and increased stamina at the price of permanent behaviour changes, brain damage and death. Almost a third of new cases of HIV are caused by the loss of sexual inhibition brought on by loss of mental capacity. Frank Sanello, author the acclaimed Opium Wars, tells the terrifying truth about this deadly drug but also shares invaluable information and resources that offer hope and help to users.
Good triumphs evil in every situation. Sometimes, it takes a while to recognize and realize, but it is so. You never know when an angel may approach you one day, so help those in need. Imagine another type of helpful host from heaven. Imagine a tweaker as one who tweaks happenings just enough to add more love and compassion in the future without changing the mainstream of history. Would it be a blessing having a being that would prevent you from making a wrong decision by eliminating a particular reason for having to choose? Imagine a future from which tweakers visit and do helpful things to lead people to the right path, which will add much love and compassion for their future. Imagine if you will a soul going to heaven and wishing to fight evil beside the angels in the war between good and evil. A tweaker is a being from an elite heavenly force, TSI (Tweaker Secret Intervention). Their souls and bodies are used as vessels compatible for time travel and for acceptable fixtures of mankind. Imagine tweakers with no sexual desires or jealousy, traveling to and fro through time as mates, paired for life of services, often for hundreds of years. Being telepathically in sync with their Tweaker Sentry Post and continuously monitored throughout each mission, with answers provided by higher knowledge as needed. Single or together, the missions satisfactorily completed, gives more and more love and compassion to the future. Imagine a tweaker traveling through time, stricken by lightning, thus loosing memory and tools, in only a white vinyl jumpsuit and slippers. Having all common knowledge except of personal identity and past with amnesia. A tweaker named Ja-Tabor wanders aimlessly yet feeling that he has a particular purpose. Follow him through relearning and reuniting with his mate. Imagine!

As the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) adapts to the emerging strategic environment, it must consider innovative organizational structures that will allow it to harness the potential of its European partners. NATO's enduring deficiencies and their detrimental effect on military capabilities are examined. The decade following the end of the Cold War has revealed a far different world than envisioned. As the United States ruefully discovered, the reduced threat did not diminish security obligations. NATO's European members hoped otherwise and paid insufficient attention to military capabilities. NATO enlargement exacerbates the existing problems. NATO's integrated military structure does not easily accommodate the new members, which still suffer from the effects of the Soviet system. Simply put, their nascent market economies and unsophisticated militaries represent great obstacles to NATO interoperability. Establishment of integrated multinational divisions as a solution to NATO's salient problems is explored. Streamlining the Alliance to a single active corps of ten divisions and the establishment of a robust logistical supply group permits greater utility of limited manpower and equipment. Under this structure, all Alliance members can focus modernization on select units and become active participants in all NATO operations. This bold approach creates challenges for the Alliance, but the tremendous benefits outweigh the short-term risks. To remain relevant, the Alliance must seek innovations. Otherwise, it will become a Cold War relic.
Hedonistic Red Pill Fantasy. Two horn-dog, red pill compatriots invent a time travel helmet. The wearer is able to easily untether his astral body and direct it to any historical event in the akashic record. Their hope is to tweak a crucial point in history that will have a far-reaching future effect. By so doing they seek to rid the planet of a depraved neo-Marxism that has degenerated the West in the guise of a "progressive," globalist, NWO con game of open borders, "diversity and multiculturalism," and political correctness. But dangers lurk in the noosphere and in unintended consequences of their "time tweaking." These amateur inner space explorers find out the hard way that they can change but not quite control the course of history-that's a job long dominated by professional controllers (as the main character knows all too well).

A man is accused of attempted murder of a former crystal meth addict. He claims he shot in self-defense, responding to the extremely aggressive behavior the victim was exhibiting. How will this play out in court? Most likely, the prosecution and the defense will call various expert witnesses - perhaps neurologists, psychologists, pathologists - each with testimonies based on their own theoretical viewpoints, but none with a truly comprehensive knowledge of the background and effects of methamphetamine (MA) use. This will cause confusion, complexity, and their testimonies may not comply with Daubert standards. Written by a multidisciplinary team of experts, Methaphetamine Use: Clinical and Forensic Aspects examines MA use and abuse from clinical, forensic, and criminal justice perspectives. It is the first to cover virtually every aspect, reviewing the history, pharmacology, pathology, physiology, treatment, and evidentiary value of MA and its use. It addresses Daubert considerations and victim/witness credibility, competency to confess and to stand trial, criminal responsibility, extreme emotion as mitigation to murder, and dangerousness. It also details statutes and case law to represent perspectives of both the prosecution and the defense. Growing in popularity more than any other illegal drug, methamphetamine has been shown to produce a paranoid psychotic state, which may recur months or years after use. Methamphetamine Use: Clinical and Forensic Aspects provides a comprehensive, critical survey of the current knowledge and policies regarding the use and abuse of this dangerous and ubiquitous substance.
