STALINGRAD.FOR FANS OF PHILLIP KERR (BERNIE GUNTHER SERIES), ALAN FURST (SPIES OF THE BALKANS).THE HERO, MAJOR MARTIN BORA, IS AN ARISTOCRATIC GERMAN OFFICER OF THE ILK OF CLAUS VON STAUFFENBERG, TORN BETWEEN HIS DUTY AS AN OFFICER AND HIS INTEGRITY AS A HUMAN BEING.Ukraine, 1943. Having barely escaped the inferno of Stalingrad, Major Martin Bora is serving on the Russian front as a German counterintelligence officer. Weariness, disillusionment, and battle fatigue are a soldier's daily fare, yet Bora seems to be one of the few whose sanity is not marred by the horrors of war.As the Wehrmacht prepare for the Kursk counter-offensive, a Russian general defects aboard a T-34, the most advanced tank of the war. Soon he and another general, this one previously captured, are found dead in their cells. Everything appears to exclude the likelihood of foul play, but Bora begins an investigation, in a stubborn attempt to solve a mystery that will come much too close to home.Cristaloterapia; Evidência Científica
By Patrícia Pinto, Walter Parks. 2015
A Evidência Científica prova que a Cristaloterapia funciona. Tenho ouvido falar de Cristaloterapia durante toda a minha vida, mas assumi…
que era charlatanismo. Um amigo meu, que era um crente, pediu-me para fazer uma investigação e para tentar encontrar uma base científica para a Cristaloterapia. A minha carreira profissional é a de Engenheiro Aeroespacial, por isso ele pensou que eu seria capaz de encontrar a base científica para algo em que ele acreditava com tanto afinco. Senti que tinha que fazer esse favor ao meu bom amigo. Percebi que qualquer uma que fosse a base científica para a Cristaloterapia iria requer algum tipo de troca de energia, entre o cristal e o nosso corpo humano. Avaliei vários tipos de cristais e descobri que a ametista tinha o melhor campo de energia mensurável e um maior número de dados mais disponíveis. Já sabia, a partir da famosa equação do Einstein E = MC2 que os nossos corpos são, basicamente, dois tipos de matrizes: uma é a matéria (M), que é a nossa carne e os ossos, e a outra é a energia (E), que tem um campo eletromagnético mensurável. C é a velocidade da luz. Também sabia que os defensores da Cristaloterapia chamam a esse campo de aura. O objetivo básico era, então, encontrar um mecanismo que permitisse aos nossos corpos receber uma transmissão de energia, vinda das irradiações de um cristal. Li artigos sobre os Vedas, da antiga religião hindu, e aprendi mais sobre as suas crenças, sobre os chacras e, especialmente, que chamavam ao chacra de terceiro olho. Estive a fazer investigações sobre esse terceiro olho e aprendi que os nossos ancestrais, de fato, tinham um terceiro olho que podia captar as vibrações do seu meio ambiente. Algumas criaturas primitivas, que ainda estão hoje vivas nos nossos dias, têm terceiros olhos. As investigações posteriores revelaram que o Terceiro Olho dos nossos antepassadosGuerra Contra o Ocultismo, Feitiçaria e Falsa Religião

são os organismos através do qual Satanás realiza seus planos perversos contra o avanço do Reino de Deus e da humanidade. Estes três ramos do reino das trevas trabalham em harmonia para atingir os objetivos acima referidos. Satã é o criador e cabeça de cada um deles. E você vai sempre encontrar o outro quando qualquer um deles estiver em operação. É por isso que eu os chamo de uma trindade. Por exemplo, no ocultismo, você também encontrará a feitiçaria e religião falsa. Os falsos profetas e as bruxas geralmente pertencem às sociedades e cultos secretos. Eles limitam-se a ramificar-se de acordo com os seus objetivos e ações imediatas. Eles são diferentes ramos de uma mesma árvore. Mas como podemos verificar esta ameaça espiritual que ao longo dos tempos tem causado tanta confusão para o homem e sua tensa relação com o seu Criador? Isto é o que nós tentamos mostrar aqui. Todo cristão deve se levantar, vestir toda a armadura do reino dos céus e lutar contra esses ataques satânicos. E nós temos que fazer isso agora; com urgência e de forma decisiva.A Dark Song of Blood
By Ben Pastor. 2014
Praise for the Martin Bora series:"The tone of Liar Moon has a flu-like grimness, appropriate the 1943 setting. Pastor is…
excellent at providing details (silk stockings, movie magazines, cigarettes) that light up the setting."-Booklist"Lumen's plot is well crafted, her prose shap . . . a disturbing mix of detection and reflection."-Publisher's WeeklyRome, 1944. While the Allies are fighting their way up the Italian peninsula, Rome lives the last days of Nazi occupation. Their world is falling apart as the German Army, the Gestapo, and the SS vie for power while holding glittering and debauched parties. But this is also a time of Italian partisan attacks, arrests, and mass executions, all to the sound of Allied artillery bombardment just outside the walls of the city.Baron Martin von Bora, an officer in the Wehrmacht, has the complex and delicate task of solving not one, but three murders. A young German embassy secretary has "accidentally" fallen to her death from a fourth-floor window, and a Roman society lady and a headstrong cardinal of the Roman Curia are found dead in her apartment. The cardinal is personally known to Bora and, like the officer, secretly active in the resistance against the Third Reich. With Italian police inspector Sandro Guidi at his side, Bora sets off to establish the truth. Different as they are, the two men confront crime, war, and dictatorship in the awareness that the dignity of man comes at a price beyond all imagination.Liar Moon

Praise for Ben Pastor's Lumen: "Pastor's plot is well crafted, her prose sharp. . . . A disturbing mix of…
detection and reflection."--Publishers Weekly "Rivets the reader with its twist of historical realities. A historical piece, it faithfully reproduces the grim canvas of war. A character study, it captures the thoughts and actions of real people, not stereotypes."--The Free Lance-Star "And don't miss Lumen by Ben Pastor. . . . An interesting, original, and melancholy tale."--Literary Review Italy, September 1943. The Italian government switches sides and declares war on Germany. The north of Italy is controlled by the fascist puppets of Germany; the south liberated by Allied forces fighting their way up the peninsula. Having survived hell on the Russian front, Wehrmacht major and aristocrat Baron Martin von Bora is sent to Verona. He is ordered to investigate the murder of a prominent local fascist: a bizarre death threatening to discredit the regime's public image. The prime suspect is the victim's twenty-eight-year-old widow Clara. Haunted by his record of opposition to SS policies in Russia, Bora must watch his step. Against the backdrop of relentless anti-partisan warfare and the tragedy of the Holocaust, a breathless chase begins. Ben Pastor, born and now back in Italy, lived for thirty years in the United States, working as a university professor in Vermont. The first in the Martin Bora series, Lumen, was published by Bitter Lemon Press in May 2011.Lumen

He escuchado toda mi vida sobre la sanación por cristales pero siempre lo consideré pura charlatanería. Un amigo, creyente él,…
me pidió que echara un vistazo y encontrara la base científica de esta terapia. Al haber cursado una carrera en ingeniería aeroespacial, él pensó que, seguramente podría encontrar la base científica de algo que él cree tan fuertemente. Sentí que tenía que comprobarlo por mi amigo. Me di cuenta de que cualquier base científica para la sanación a través de cristales tendría que requerir algún tipo de intercambio de energía entre el cristal y nuestro cuerpo. He evaluado varios tipos de cristales y encontré que la amatista tenía el mejor campo de energía mensurable con la mayoría de los datos disponibles. Sabía debido a la famosa ecuación de Einstein E = MC2 que nuestros cuerpos son básicamente dos tipos de matrices: una de materia (M) que es nuestra carne y hueso y otra de energía (E) que tiene un campo electromagnético cuantificable. (C es la velocidad de la luz). Sabía que los defensores de curación por cristales llamaban aura a este campo. El objetivo básico entonces era encontrar un mecanismo que permita a nuestros cuerpos recibir una transmisión energética desde un cristal radiante. He leído sobre los Vedas de la antigua religión hindú y he aprendido sobre sus creencias respecto de los chakras y en especial del Chakra llamado el Tercer Ojo. He investigado este tercer ojo y aprendí que nuestros antepasados, de hecho, tenían un tercer ojo que podía percibir frecuencias de vibraciones del entorno. Algunas criaturas primitivas que aún viven hoy en día lo tienen. Investigaciones posteriores revelaron que el tercer ojo de nuestros antepasados había evolucionado a nuestra glándula pineal actual. Investigué entonces que nuestra glándula pineal segrega una hormona que se ha convertido en el conducLa guerra contro l'Occultismo, la Stregoneria e la Falsa Religione

quello che io chiamo la trinità del male - l'occultismo, la stregoneria e la falsa religione. Queste sono gli agenti attraverso le quali Satana svolge i suoi piani malvagi contro l'avanzamento del regno di Dio e l'umanità. Questi tre rami del regno dell'oscurità operano in armonia per raggiungere gli obiettivi di cui sopra. Satana è l'iniziatore e a capo di ciascuno di loro. E troverete sempre del resto quando qualsiasi è in funzione. Questo è il motivo per cui li chiamo una trinità. Per esempio, nell'occultismo, si trova anche la stregoneria e la falsa religione. I falsi profeti e le streghe di solito appartengono alle società e culti segreti. Essi si diramano meramente in base ai loro obiettivi e le operazioni immediati. Sono diversi rami di uno stesso albero. Ma come controlliamo questa minaccia spirituale secolare che ha causato tanto scompiglio per l'uomo e ha strappato il suo rapporto con il suo creatore? Questo è quello che abbiamo cercato di offrire qui. Ogni cristiano deve alzarsi, indossare l'armatura del regno dei cieli e combattere questi assalti satanici. E dobbiamo farlo ora; con urgenza e decisione.La Guerra contra el Ocultismo, la Brujería y la Falsa Religión

religión. Estas son las agencias a través de las cuales Satanás lleva a cabo sus planes malvados contra el avance del reino de Dios y contra la humanidad. Estas tres ramas del reino de las tinieblas funcionan en armonía para lograr los objetivos mencionados. Satanás es el iniciador y está a la cabeza de cada una de ellas. Y siempre encontrarás al resto cuando cualquiera de ellas esté en acción. Es por eso que digo que son una trinidad. Por ejemplo, en el ocultismo también encuentras brujería y falsa religión. Los falsos profetas y los brujos usualmente pertenecen a sociedades y cultos secretos. Ellos simplemente se expanden de acuerdo a sus objetivos y acciones inmediatos. Son diferentes ramas del mismo árbol. Pero ¿cómo detendremos esta amenaza de siglos que ha causado tanto caos al hombre y ha tensionado la relación del hombre con su creador? Esto es lo que intentamos exponer aquí.Honour: Achieving Justice for Banaz Mahmod
By Caroline Goode. 2020
When Rahmat Sulemani reported his girlfriend Banaz missing, it quickly became clear to DCI Caroline Goode that something was very…
wrong. In fact, Banaz had contacted her local police station multiple times before, even listing the names of the men she expected to murder her in a so-called 'honour' killing. Her parents didn't seem worried, but Banaz had already accused them of being part of the plot.DCI Goode's team took on the investigation before they even had proof that a murder had taken place. What emerged was a shocking story of betrayal and a community-wide web of lies, which would take the team from suburban south London to the mountain ranges of Kurdistan, making covert recordings and piecing together cell phone data to finally bring the killers to justice.The Suffocating Night: The Lydmouth Crime Series Book 4
