  This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
   
  Mankind is naturally evil and good. Ever since we became conscious, the evil within us emerged. Animals are not good or evil, they just follow the power of nature. We became aware of the differences and we continued regardless. No higher agent such as God can be blamed for the rise of darkness in our souls. Moral evil is caused by human activity. 
   
  It is argued that our love of darkness proves that there is no God. If God exists and is omnipotent and all-knowing and perfectly good then there would be no natural evil, but there is. Can we continue to blame God for the ways of mankind or is it time we accepted responsibility for our ways? 
   
  The truth is that we will not stop any time soon. In this book we examine the dark nature of mankind and the most gruesome and disturbing acts we have committed over time. From the holocaust to human sacrifices to false gods. No bloodstained stone will be unturned. 
   
  Welcome to the Dark Side.

  New York, Summer of 1965. 
   
   
   
  One hot summer, two young children disappeared from their first-floor apartment in the Kew Gardens neighborhood of Queens, New York. Their mother, Alice Crimmins, reported them missing to the police. Later that day, the body of four-year-old Missy was found in a vacant lot, showing signs of having been strangled. The body of five-year-old Eddie, Jr., was found several days later. 
   
   
   
  Police were immediately suspicious of the mother. Recently divorced, with teased red hair and heavy makeup, Alice Crimmins did not fit the maternal ideal held by the predominantly Catholic police detectives on the case. Her every action was scrutinized: Was she behaving like a grief-stricken mother or like a coldhearted killer? After three years of police surveillance, Alice was charged with the murder of her children in 1968 in a highly publicized trial. Ultimately found guilty of manslaughter, Alice spent a decade in prison before being released on parole in 1977. 
   
   
   
  But was she truly guilty, or just the victim of police bias and misogynistic judgment? Journalist Anaïs Renevier revisits the case, exploring one of the most famous and divisive trials in recent American history.

  Justice in the Age of Judgment -...

  When unscrupulous Italian prosecutors waged an all-out war in the media and courtroom to wrongly convict American exchange student Amanda Knox for a murder she didn’t commit, family and friends turned to Seattle attorney and media legal analyst Anne Bremner to help win her freedom. The case was dubbed the “trial of the decade” and would coincide with the explosion of social media and a new era of trying cases in public as much as the courtroom. While Italian prosecutors, the press, and online lynch mobs convicted Knox in the court of public opinion, Bremner would draw upon her decades in the courtroom and in front of the camera to turn the tide with a new kind of defense in pursuit of justice. Bremner takes us inside some of the biggest cases of recent times and offers her expert insights and analysis as our legal system faces unprecedented forces fighting to tip the scales of justice their way. Why couldn’t prosecutors convict O.J. Simpson despite all of the evidence seemingly proving he killed his wife Nicole? Could a jury remain unbiased in the face of overwhelming public pressure in the trial of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd? Justice in the Age of Judgement is Bremner’s unparalleled and unflinching look at the captivating cases tried on Twitter and TV, where the burden of proof and fundamental legal tenet of “innocent until proven guilty” is under assault from the court of public opinion.

  On July 6, 2019, Jeffrey Epstein became a household name as an international sex trafficker of underage girls, serial sex abuser, and confidant of the most famous, rich, and most powerful men in the world. Barely a month after his arrest, he was reportedly found dead in his prison cell, supposedly by suicide. Numerous investigations are ongoing, to find out how he really died -- but the public has been kept in the dark. 
  In this first of a series of books about the most notorious #MeToo era sexual predators, author and law professor Deana Pollard Sacks offers the most comprehensive look ever at the sordid life of Jeffrey Epstein. Her research is impeccable and synthesizes news stories, court cases, and interviews -- along with her keen observations -- to give the reader a full picture of the life and crimes of this twisted sexual pervert. 
  In this scathing indictment, Professor Sacks reveals the gross incompetence and bald corruption of certain government officials who aided and abetted the sex abuser, and exposes the media outlets who enabled Epstein's crimes by withholding the truth from us all. 
  This book is a must-read for any #MeToo survivor or follower, concerned citizen, or individual who is fed up with having one justice system for the rich and another for the rest of us.

  Canada Under Siege - How PEI...

  In a chilling tale of soft power, corruption, and covert influence, Canada Under Siege pulls back the curtain on how the Chinese Communist Party quietly turned Prince Edward Island into a strategic forward operating base—right under the noses of Islanders and Ottawa alike.
  		 
  Drawing from a nearly two-year investigation by veteran intelligence officer and Chief of Asia Pacific (CSIS) Michel Juneau-Katsuya, former RCMP financial crime chief Garry Clement, and publisher Dean Baxendale, this groundbreaking exposé follows the money, the land grabs, the political manipulation, and the elites, captured or compromised.
  		This is not fiction. With whistleblower testimony, court documents, and explosive first-hand accounts stretching from Charlottetown to Taiwan, this book connects the dots between organized crime, espionage, elite capture, and Beijing’s United Front Work Department.
  		 
  What emerges is a damning picture of how one of the world’s most authoritarian regimes used immigration loopholes, Buddhist temples, and Anne of Green Gables to anchor its influence in Canada’s Prince Edward Island, the birthplace of Canadian Confederation. With China’s increased belligerence towards taking Taiwan by force, the authors show readers how the infiltration of Buddhist groups is playing a key role in the soft power dynamic in Taiwan and around the world, particularly as it relates to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Tibetan Buddhism.
  		 
  Canada Under Siege is more than an exposé, it’s a warning. The threat is no longer at the gates. It’s already here. The time to act is now.

  Classified! - The Adventures of...

  Nigel West

  Over the past fifty years, Nigel West has been involved in almost every espionage-related investigation, breakthrough or revelation that you can think of. His molehunts have led to the unmasking of spies within MI5, MI6 and the CIA and the identification of numerous others – some of whom were crucial to the Allied victory in the Second World War and would have died without any public recognition if not for him.
  His first encounter with the intelligence community was a lecture given at his school by John le Carré, the guest of a Benedictine monk who had recently retired from MI6. Later, West worked as a researcher for SOE agent Ronnie Seth, who was sentenced to death by the Nazis after being captured during Operation blunderhead, and exposed two of the Cambridge spies recruited by Anthony Blunt. For the fortieth anniversary of the D-Day landings, West traced the double agent codenamed garbo and brought him to London so he could be decorated at Buckingham Palace.
  As action-packed as the lives of the spies he has written about, this is the story of the most enthralling and significant post-war intelligence revelations as told by Britain's most authoritative writer on espionage and the secret services.
