Download or read book The Plot to Kill King written by William F. Pepper and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 969 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author, James Earl Ray’s defense attorney, and, later, lawyer for the King family William Pepper reveals who actually killed MLK. William Pepper was James Earl Ray’s lawyer in the trial for the murder of Martin Luther King Jr., and even after Ray’s conviction and death, Pepper continues to adamantly argue Ray’s innocence. This myth-shattering exposé is a revised, updated, and heavily expanded volume of Pepper’s original bestselling and critically acclaimed book Orders to Kill, with twenty-six years of additional research included. The result reveals dramatic new details of the night of the murder, the trial, and why Ray was chosen to take the fall for an evil conspiracy—a government-sanctioned assassination of our nation’s greatest leader. The plan, according to Pepper, was for a team of United States Army Special Forces snipers to kill King, but just as they were taking aim, a backup civilian assassin pulled the trigger. In The Plot to Kill King, Pepper shares the evidence and testimonies that prove that Ray was a fall guy chosen by those who viewed King as a dangerous revolutionary. His findings make the book one of the most important of our time—the uncensored story of the murder of an American hero that contains disturbing revelations about the obscure inner-workings of our government and how it continues, even today, to obscure the truth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On May 2, 1935, Rosanne Cartwright, an eleven-year-old child of the Great Depression, was signed onto one of America’s most prestigious motion picture production studios, Bailey-Banks-and-Wilburforce (also known as BBW). Solely focused on the welfare of her parents and brother, Rosanne soon became the breadwinner of her family and the victim of eight long years of sexual abuse from her agent, Barney Wilburforce. Rosanne remained under the stern thump of her agent in the hope of a stable income and reassurance for bigger roles. In return, she endured emotional trauma, embedded anxiety, and a temporary out-of-control alcohol addiction. Unaware of Barney’s actual intentions, Rosanne kept her head up and continued to smile at the cameras that captured her public and personal life. With her fame rising during the turn of the decade, she married closeted homosexual heartthrob Clyde Tish. On the set of their second film together, the couple formed a friendship with an extra named Wilma Lawse. As Rosanne’s résumé began to lengthen and her family’s happiness blooming, Barney always reassured his client that she was destined for bigger roles.

Download or read book Culturematic written by Grant McCracken and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2012-04-24 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to Culturematic: How Reality TV, John Cheever, a Pie Lab, Julia Child, Fantasy Football, Burning Man, the Ford Fiesta Movement, Rube Goldberg, NFL Films, Wordle, Two and a Half Men, a 10,000-Year Symphony, and ROFLCom Memes Will Help You Create and Execute Breakthrough Ideas A Culturematic is a little machine for making culture. It’s an ingenuity engine. Once wound up and released, the Culturematic acts as a probe into the often-alien world of contemporary culture, to test the atmosphere, to see what life it can sustain, to see who responds and how. Culturematics start small but can scale up ferociously, bootstrapping themselves as they go. Because they are so inexpensive, we can afford to fire off a multitude of Culturematics simultaneously. This is evolutionary strategy, iterative innovation, and rapid prototyping all at once. Culturematics are fast, cheap, and out of control. Perhaps as important, they fail early and often. They are the perfect antidote to a world where we cannot guess what’s coming next. In Culturematic, anthropologist Grant McCracken describes these little machines and helps the reader master them. Examples are drawn from NFL Films, Twitter, the Apple Genius Bar, Starbucks, Ford, SNL Digital Shorts, Restoration Hardware, UNICEF, J. Crew, Pie Lab, USA Network, and the GEICO gecko. For the traditional producers of culture—the creators of movies, design, advertising, publishing, magazines, newspapers, and corporate R&D—this book will inspire new innovation and creativity. For the emerging producers of culture—the digital players—this book will serve as a practical handbook. Culturematic: our app for creating the world anew.

Download or read book The Biggest Moonshiner written by Betty M. Rafter and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2019-08-23 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Biggest Moonshiner is a story of unconditional love, triumph over hate, forgiveness, and redemption. It's a memoir with bits of history during the hard-scrabble life of the author and her eleven siblings growing up during the Depression in the Glades of South Florida with, allegedly, "the biggest moonshiner on the East Coast" and their faith-based mama. It tells of their mama's struggle to keep the family together and life lessons the author and her siblings gleaned from adversity: while hiding out in the woods with their parents, Urbie and Leila Meeks; when they were running from the Feds, picking cotton in Alabama while on the run, living in a tent and picking other crops with migrants; and during their time living in an orphanage. Leila never lost her faith in God or her unconditional love for their hardworking, optimistic, and fun-loving daddy, who made every challenge a fun adventure—even when he got drunk and abused her and sometimes the kids or when they were homeless after he lost their home and business gambling or when she had to feign for herself and six kids when he went to prison for making moonshine. When a tragedy brought about the death of Leila and her unborn child, the siblings struggled to work through the fog of pain, knowing they had to put their anger and hate aside and forgive, if they were going to fulfill their mama's last request: "To get along with your daddy, and keep the kids together."
