We are not aloneand we never were.From the moment humanity first looked skyward, something has looked back. Ancient Sumerian tablets speak of gods who descended in fiery craft. Egyptian pyramids align with Orions Belt with impossible precision. Indias epics describe flying vimanas locked in aerial wars with weapons that turned night into day. The Nazca desert bears gigantic figures visible only from the heavens, while Englands quiet hills hide a zodiac miles wide, etched into the living earth.Today, the silence is shattering. Navy pilots chase objects that drop from 80,000 feet to sea level in seconds, defying physics as we know it. Declassified videos, congressional testimony, and whistleblowers with impeccable credentials confirm: craft of unknown origin share our skies, seas, and perhaps even our past.In this gripping sequel to Are We Alone?, Mike V. Piana pulls no punches. He traces the fingerprints of "visitors" across millenniafrom the Watchers of Enoch to the Anunnaki, from Quetzalcoatls feathered serpent to Ezekiels wheel within a wheel. He explores forbidden sites, lost technologies, and the quiet war over disclosure unfolding right now.With chilling clarity, We Are Not Alone, Volume II asks the questions history tried to bury: Were the gods astronauts? Is our DNA laced with alien code? Are ancient monuments landing beacons still waiting for their builders return?The evidence is mounting. The veil is thinning. The truth is no longer comingits already here.

The Orange Riots: Sectarian Violence and State Massacre in 1871 New YorkOn July 12, 1871, New York City witnessed its second-deadliest civil disturbance when at least sixty-eight people died during the Orange Riots. This comprehensive historical account reveals how a Protestant parade celebrating the Battle of the Boyne became a flashpoint for catastrophic violence when it marched through the Irish Catholic neighborhood of Hells Kitchen. Drawing on extensive contemporary sources, this book demonstrates that the event was not simply a riot but a state-perpetrated massacre, with National Guard soldiers firing indiscriminate volleys into civilian crowds. The work traces the transatlantic origins of sectarian conflict from seventeenth-century Ireland through immigration to America, examines the political calculations that forced the confrontation despite warnings of inevitable bloodshed, and analyzes how the tragedy accelerated the collapse of Boss Tweeds political machine. More than a historical narrative, this book offers crucial insights into urban governance, ethnic conflict, contested public space, and the dangerous limits of military solutions to political tensions. The Orange Riots near-total disappearance from American historical memory reveals how societies selectively forget episodes that challenge comfortable narratives about democratic progress and immigrant success.

This book is an autobiography that covers both the authors life and work. This author is todays Edgar Cayce, not for medicine but for energy. Between October 28th and November 3rd, along with fifty-three other, he was starved and placed in an altered state of consciousness. They all died the very first time. Five times, Dale died unto clinical death. After that, he was wrong fully placed on Social Security, confined to poverty, and faced many assassination attempts.Dale was treated this way because it was believed that he might write the theory that would reveal over-unity and over-performance energy production. Over the next forty-five years, Dale wrote several theories ending with Quantitative Gravity which will certainly replace General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.

"One of the best books of the decade."(The James White Review)"A book to handle with asbestos gloves but well worth the walk through fire."(Paul Monette, National Book Award winner)"This is an incredibly powerful book."(Rebecca Brown, Lambda Literary Award winner)From the author of the Lambda Literary Award-nominated novel THE RED SHOESPeopled with sociopaths, circus performers, a cross-dressing teenage boy, a sex worker and her pimp, and God-fearing families, the stories in THE OTHER WORLD are dark, disturbing, yet hauntingly beautiful, and have a hallucinatory edge, making the everyday seem like another world . . .The Other WorldIn this dark satire, a Christian right family is so concerned about sheltering their teenage son from homosexuality that theyre oblivious to the fact hes the neighborhood rapist.Nameless ThingIn this Texas circus, three into two dont go. A triangle involving a dwarf, a friendly costume designer, and her surly lover ends in tragedy above the banks of the Rio Grande.RaphaelRaphael, a cross-dressing teenage boy, spends the Christmas holiday at the Plaza Hotel in New York with his high-strung mother ... but can only think of his romantic fantasies about the family chauffeur.Lights of BroadwayA Times Square prostitute discounts the violent threats her john makes against a hit queer musical down the street from her apartment ... with devastating consequences.Halloween CardA drug-fueled loft party for Manhattan hipsters ends up in a surprising location come the dawn.VultureIn the Deep South, an aimless drifter kills his girlfriend and tries to hide her body in a well ... but hes not alone. Hes being watched by a young girl.Praise for THE OTHER WORLD"If there is a bright spot at all to this countrys history of puritanical repression, it is in its tradition of outsider art, art fueled by feelings of otherness that have been shared by certain artists [such as] Tennessee Williams, Carson McCullers, and Truman Capote ... And now theres John Stewart Wynne, whose first collection of stories The Other World is among the most remarkable books I have ever read."(The James White Review)"This walk on the wild side of human nature can be startling, outrageous, frightening, and sometimes even funny, but Wynnes smooth, commanding style keeps the shocks in these stories from becoming mannered or numbing."(Booklist)"Wynnes prose is chiseled and precise. And in pages that tremble with beauty, Wynne gracefully reveals the darker side of human possibilities."(Details)"With so much tepid and sentimental fiction coming out, Wynnes stories are like a plunge in cold water. With a near-Brechtian intensity of focus and an infallible ear for dialog, Wynne casts a laser eye on the things we say, so different from the things we mean ... People on the edge, the margins of love ..."(Paul Monette, National Book Award winner)
