Book excerpt: I was just putting my life back together when my daughter, LaKina, disclosed the ‘deep seeded secrets’ that she’d kept from me. She was in dire need of my help. We joined forces, and within a matter of time, we found ourselves up against multiple manipulating, devilish snakes with ‘deep seeded secrets.’ The manipulating, devilish snakes utilized corruption, lies, money, power, and endless connections to cover up abuse and criminal activity for a family and many others. They were out to destroy our family by using fear, threats, manipulation, and alienation to hide their criminal activity and abuse to children. I wasn’t only dealing with LaKina’s situation. My father, Donald, was in a troubled marriage. Later, we saw that his wife was a corrupt person with ‘deep seeded secrets’ who lied, and was capable of murder. Everywhere I turned there were ‘deep seeded secrets,’ corruption, and lies. I remained determined to find out what they were regardless of the risks and pushbacks that I’d encountered. This is a heart-wrenching story that will leave you shocked, traumatized, and in disbelief because of the parties involved. I highly recommend that you and your loved ones read my series, so that you can identify the traits and patterns of these individuals, and never enter into their world.

Download or read book Stylistic Manipulation of the Reader in Contemporary Fiction written by Sandrine Sorlin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-12-12 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on how readers can be 'manipulated' during their experience of reading fictional texts and how they are incited to perceive, process and interpret certain textual patterns. Offering fine-grained stylistic analysis of diverse genres, including crime fiction, short stories, poetry and novels, the book deciphers various linguistic, pragmatic and multimodal techniques. These are skilfully used by authors to achieve specific effects through a subtle manipulation of deixis, metalepsis, dialogue, metaphors, endings, inferences or rhetorical, narratorial and typographical control. Exploring contemporary texts such as The French Lieutenant's Woman, The Remains of the Day and We Need to Talk About Kevin, chapters delve into how readers are pragmatically positioned or cognitively (mis)directed as the author guides their attention and influences their judgment. They also show how readers' responses can, conversely, bring about a certain form of manipulation as readers challenge the positions the texts invite them to occupy.
Download or read book Dark Psychology and Manipulation written by Zac Adams and published by The Book Public. This book was released on with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: - Are you tired of having the wool pulled over your eyes? - Do you feel that people are always taking advantage of you or your relationships are superficial and fake? - Are you ready to stand against those who think they can manipulate and take advantage of you? If you answered yes to any of the following statements, this book is for you. Why? Dark Psychology and Manipulation is a book that draws attention to the manipulating and persuasive behavior of those around us who choose to use them to further hidden motives. From the workplace to your home, with your colleagues, friends, or family, we sometimes want to believe that those who care about us would never manipulate us. The sad reality is, sometimes, it is those who are closest that take advantage of the kind-hearted. In Dark Psychology and Manipulation, we discuss the techniques that make up the facet of dark psychology, including persuasion, manipulation, and coercion. As you read on, I explain methods of identifying deceit and manipulation, and I provide helpful techniques on how to protect yourself from further being a victim. Once you have understood the many forms of dark psychology, I then detail how to turn things around to benefit you for the better. I want to show you how you can use manipulation, persuasion, and coercion for good. I also discuss how you can turn the tables on the very people who thought they could take advantage of you. What am I going to get out of this? Your dignity, confidence, and peace of mind will never be forced to do anything you don’t want. There are plenty of books on “how to” manipulate and be persuasive. Dark Psychology and Manipulation is different. It shares helpful pointers that will help create awareness with useful tools to manage someone who thinks they can manipulate or persuade you. It is human nature to be easily swayed when we perceive something to benefit us. For example, we think if someone compliments and is drawn to us, we may feel important and valuable. What we don’t see is the hidden motives of such behaviors and actions that come afterwards. Inside the pages of Dark Psychology and Manipulation, I will cover techniques on protecting yourself from dark psychology and how to identify the art of dark psychology. Learn about… - The mentality of a manipulator - Psychological Triad (Narcissism, Machiavellianism, and Psychotherapy) - Emotional intelligence - Persuasion and influence - Turning the tables on the manipulator to benefit you - And much, much more! Stop being the emotional, mental, and verbal punching bag of a manipulator. Don’t let someone trick you into thinking they care, have your interest at heart, or know what’s best for you. Take a stand, and turn the tables on anyone seeking to cause you harm. I have created Dark Psychology and Manipulation as an easy to read guide to stop the negativity toxicity that comes from those who believe in manipulation, persuasion, and narcissism to get what they want.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There was never any doubt that Emma Burgemeister shot and killed beer and real estate magnate Otto Koehler on November 12, 1914. The question remained: Why? The deceased was one of the wealthiest and most respected persons in the Southwest and a pillar of the community. As a result, his murder and trial drew national attention. Soon, the entire affair was one of the most famous murder cases ever tried in Bexar County—a part of Texas known to have some notorious characters. Now, for the first time ever, MONEY, MURDER, SEX, AND BEER presents testimony from the trial, legal analysis, and other information that allows the readers to draw their own conclusions regarding the guilt or innocence of the alleged murderer. What makes the story unique is the efforts of officials in San Antonio and friends of Otto Koehler—the victim—to subvert the judicial process to avoid having the case go to trial. For a dead man with a recently spurned mistress, who could predict what secrets might come to light on the witness stand?

Based upon the Bible, the word of God, Why America Needs to Repent communicates crucial messages about repentance and its relevance and importance in today’s society. We need to repent because we work better together with God; understanding the love of God is the absolute best way to get us to do that. We need to repent because nothing else will work.
Download or read book The Journalist and the Murderer written by Janet Malcolm and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-06-22 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A seminal work and examination of the psychopathology of journalism. Using a strange and unprecedented lawsuit by a convicted murder againt the journalist who wrote a book about his crime, Malcolm delves into the always uneasy, sometimes tragic relationship that exists between journalist and subject. Featuring the real-life lawsuit of Jeffrey MacDonald, a convicted murderer, against Joe McGinniss, the author of Fatal Vision. In Malcolm's view, neither journalist nor subject can avoid the moral impasse that is built into the journalistic situation. When the text first appeared, as a two-part article in The New Yorker, its thesis seemed so radical and its irony so pitiless that journalists across the country reacted as if stung. Her book is a work of journalism as well as an essay on journalism: it at once exemplifies and dissects its subject. In her interviews with the leading and subsidiary characters in the MacDonald-McGinniss case -- the principals, their lawyers, the members of the jury, and the various persons who testified as expert witnesses at the trial -- Malcolm is always aware of herself as a player in a game that, as she points out, she cannot lose. The journalist-subject encounter has always troubled journalists, but never before has it been looked at so unflinchingly and so ruefully. Hovering over the narrative -- and always on the edge of the reader's consciousness -- is the MacDonald murder case itself, which imparts to the book an atmosphere of anxiety and uncanniness. The Journalist and the Murderer derives from and reflects many of the dominant intellectual concerns of our time, and it will have a particular appeal for those who cherish the odd, the off-center, and the unsolved.
