About KILLING FIELDS of World War One
WORLD WAR ONE (often abbreviated as WWI or WW1), also known as the First World War or the Great War, was a global conflict originating in Europe that lasted from July 28, 1914, to November 11, 1918.
Contemporaneously described as “The War To End All Wars,” it led to the mobilization of more than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, making it one of the largest wars in history. It was also one of the deadliest conflicts in history, with an estimated nine million combatants and seven million civilian deaths as a direct result of the war, while resulting genocides and the 1918 influenza pandemic lead to another 50 to 100 million deaths worldwide.
The war caused the disintegration of four empires: the Austro-Hungarian, German, Ottoman, and Russian. Germany lost its overseas empire, and states such as Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia were created or recreated, as in the cases of Lithuania and Poland. This contributed to a decisive break with the world order that had emerged after the Napoleonic Wars, which was modified by the mid-19th century’s nationalistic revolutions. The results of World War I would also be important factors in the development of World War II just over two decades later.
Much of the fighting in World War I took place along the Western Front, within a system of opposing manned trenches and fortifications (separated by a “no man’s land”) running from the North Sea to the border of Switzerland. On the Eastern Front, the vast eastern plains and limited rail network prevented a trench warfare stalemate from developing, although the scale of the conflict was just as large. Hostilities also occurred on and under the sea and, for the first time in the history of warfare, in the air.
KILLING FIELDS of World War One, by Cotter Bass, provides a brief but explicit overview of the battlefield horrors of World War I. Accordingly, readers are hereby cautioned regarding the graphic nature of the battlefield photographs presented in this chronicle.

About Tales of American Idiocy
“Soon the humans will all wear muzzles and be chained to their homes by their great glowing boxes!”
This announcement by Chester stopped the meeting of the pets of Sunnyside Street cold. Not that they were surprised by the neighborhood conspiracy cat. Chester was full of odd ideas, most of which he announced at inopportune moments.
Chester would turn out to be right about COVID, but he is just one of many Orwellian critters and supernatural shorts populating these Tales of American Idiocy, a darkly humorous collection of short stories commemorating the early 2020’s. Here you’ll find President Brandon’s sketch election. Dwight the alligator will fight forced COVID injections. Delilah the deer’s own “Dr. Foxi,” gets his just deserts, and Black Lizards definitely Matter.
Will Chester and friends’ warnings make repeating the early 2020s unthinkable?
If you like clever allegories, not-so-crazy conspiracies’, and darkly humorous satire, you’ll love Tales of American idiocy, a work Bookviral calls: “A cuttingly Allegorical Read!”

It’s time to find a hot guy, spend a week under the sheets, and finally lose this v-card!

I’m ready to let my hair down and be someone completely different… and when the week is over, I can leave it all behind and go back to being me.
Should be easy… right?

About Featured Book: Why Didn’t I Die: A Memoir of PTSD by Fred Kirkpatrick
Do You Have Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
PTSD – “A Condition of persistent mental and mental stress occurring because of injury or severe psychological shock.” The effects of Post-traumatic stress disorder on someone’s life leaves almost nothing unchanged. The longer that PTSD exists without treatment, the greater the effects of PTSD on a person’s life.
I have struggled with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) nearly my whole life. It started in late 1967 and I’ve had many ups and downs over the years.
PTSD is the 6th most-rated disability among veterans. The VA PTSD ratings are: 0%, 10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, and 100%. The most common rating for PTSD is 70%, but many are rated at 50%, 30%, and 10%. Having a 100% rating for PTSD is possible, but rare. The requirement for 100% is stringent: The veteran must provide evidence that their condition is so severe that their symptoms cause total occupational and social impairment that makes them unemployable:
1. Learn What the Symptoms of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Are
2. Talk to your Health Provider About Taking a PTSD Self Screen
3. Take the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 Questionnaire
“Killing Animals is a Precursor to Killing People – You’re A Walking Time Bomb Ready To EXPLODE.” – The Medical team giving an assessment of me during my lock-up.
The Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 is now the gold standard for PTSD assessment in both veterans and civilians. In my day, it was your GAF score.
Loss of Interest, Emotional Detachment, Memory Problems, feeling different from others, drug abuse, alcoholism, bipolar disorder, hyper vigilance (severe anxiety, fear panic), violent behavior, rage and hate, flashbacks, nightmares, depression, anxiety attacks, paranoia (excessive or irrational suspiciousness of others), trouble sleeping (sleep apnea), feeling jumpy and easily startled, always on high alert, having trouble concentrating, relationship issues, a suicide attempt, and a ten-day commitment to a mental institution for killing animals.
This was my legacy for forty years as I suffered from something that was not defined until1980 as PTSD, a full twelve years after I left Vietnam.
The term PTSD is now associated with the legacy of the Vietnam War.
My non-fiction, US history book is about my service in Vietnam, my exposure to Agent Orange, and many decades of dealing with PTSD (Complex PTSD). This is my story of my struggles with many examples of my many issues since 1968. I hope my story helps families dealing with PTSD or Complex PTSD to know what PTSD is and help you heal and learn how to deal and cope with PTSD.

About Zhang Zhung Sorcery, The Forbidden Secrets by M.G. Hawking
Explore the Forbidden Secret Teachings of the Lost Realm of Zhang Zhung. Revealed in this book is the ancient knowledge of Zhang Zhung, teachings which set forth techniques of powerful elemental magic, or “sorcery.” This knowledge is of extreme antiquity, first appearing as part of the lore of the Zhang Zhung culture that arose on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau some 4000 years ago, but believed to have originated far earlier. Being a forbidden body of knowledge, said to convey enormous powers, the teachings disappear from the historical record for some twenty-six centuries, not to reemerge until the 7th century AD in the arcane scriptures of the ancient pre-Buddhist B’on religion.
In recent years researchers gained access to previously unreachable regions of Tibet, and those tenacious explorers discovered stunning evidence of an advanced civilization. Expeditions to the highest part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau found an immense network of castles, temples, hermitage complexes, megaliths, necropolises and fortresses, for this desolate reach of Tibet was once the kingdom of Zhang Zhung, long forgotten home to legendary warriors and sorcerers.
The secret, deeply shamanic ‘Four Portals’ teachings of Zhang Zhung contain enormous amounts of elemental sorcery, in keeping with their view of the cosmos as a psycho-physical unity, able to be manipulated in heightened states of awareness through clandestine techniques and practices, abilities that today we refer to as “paranormal powers” such as extrasensory perception and psychokinesis.
The explorations in this book are divided into six parts, as follows:
• Part I: Introduction — Provides archaeological information regarding the ancient Zhang Zhung civilization and its legendary traditions of sorcery. Includes a comprehensive description of the secret sorceric traditions of the ‘Four Portals,’ along with relevant concepts and supporting evidence from the field of quantum physics.
• Part II: Prelude — Narrates the author’s initial meeting and subsequent experiences with the shamanic sorceress Mani Choejor. Includes details of her sorceric powers.
• Part III: Exploring the Secrets — Narrates numerous accounts of Mani’s demonstrations of psychokinetic and extrasensory abilities. Includes descriptions of Mani’s apprenticeship, knowledge, techniques, and visualization practices.
• Part IV: Related Material Anthology — Four book anthology of relevant material.
• Part V: Supplemental Material — Descriptions of associated books.
• Part VI: Appendix — Reference Guide and Suggested Reading in Quantum Physics and Quantum Consciousness.
Transcribed from the journals of explorer M.G. Hawking’s sixty-two months in a remote region of the Himalayas. If this type of knowledge interests you, this is a book you will not forget. 2023 Edition, 31 Chapters, 42 Subsections, e-reader page count 415 (estimated, varies with the reading device used).
