Feardom: How Politicians Exploit Your Emotions and What You Can Do to Stop Them
21Original price was: $12.99.$7.99Current price is: $7.99.What do history’s most notorious despots have in common with many of the flag-waving, patriotic politicians of our day? Both groups rise to power through the exploitation of fear. Sometimes the fear derives from a pre-existing threat. At other times, crises are created or intensified to invoke a sense of panic and anxiety where none previously existed.
This pattern is as predictable as it is destructive. The end result is the same: a loss of liberty. Policies that are costly, oppressive, and harmful are supported by people who abandon any interest in freedom or personal responsibility in hopes of feeling safe.
Manufactured fear, with its negative impact on liberty, is a societal plague. There have been widespread casualties. We need an antidote. Feardom offers its readers a much-needed immunization.

Mind Wars: Avoiding Deception in an Age of Manipulation
17Original price was: $17.99.$15.99Current price is: $15.99.We wouldn’t dream of sending a soldier into battle without essential gear: body armor, a weapon, and knowledge of the enemy’s motives, strategies, and weaknesses. Yet, many parents today unknowingly send their children into the psychological battlefields of daily life—where they face a barrage of deceptions from academia, social media, politicians, peers, and beyond—without equipping them with the necessary defenses to survive and excel.
Worse still, while their children frequently become casualties in today’s mind wars, these parents remain oblivious to the very existence of these conflicts. For the parent eager to uphold truth in a world rife with deceptions, Mind Wars acts as both a cautionary guide and a strategic manual. It reveals the covert tactics wielded by those in power to manipulate public opinion and outlines methods for developing enhanced critical thinking skills to resist these insidious influences.
This book is more than a mere story—it’s an insightful journey into the depths of the mind, challenging you to see and fight the invisible forces shaping our reality.
