It's been 5 years since the Trump inspired insurrection of January 6. But the seeds of rebellion have continued to fester in a divided country that sits on the brink of anarchy . The issue isn't if the re will be another atte mpt to overthrow our democracy . But simply a matter of when? And in what form will it be? In Los Angeles a black prostitute PEPPER has stolen a USB flash drive from the laptop of an influential white nationalist politician because he refused pay her for sex. But unknown to Pepper, the flash drive is encrypted with a detailed outline for an other insurrection designed by a group of ultra conservative white supremacist politicians in an effort to salvage dwindling white influence and political power. Known as the Alice Plan, it sets forth the protocols for the establishment of a new 'whites English speaking republic to be located on foreign soil . The Alice Plan calls for US corporations to divest themselves of any and all financial interes ts in America, and to redirect tho se resources to finance the building of the new republic while gradually relocating the entire white population out of America by the end of 2050. Pepper's efforts to blackmail the politician for money are met with death threats . So she hires a white disabled ex cop TERRY C. TAYLOR as her bodyguard for $5,000 until she can find out what's on the flash drive. But Taylor is a bigoted racist ex detective who takes her money but doesn't take Pepper's fears seriously ------ Until she turn s up dead in the L.A. River. A month later CARMEN Pepper's white half sister who lives in New Jersey notifies Taylor she received a letter and small package from Pepper stating in the event of her death she was instructed to give the ex detective the flash drive and another $5,000 to pursue her killers. Back in Washington DC treasonous Kansas Senator METHIAS CRANDAL has called a clandestine meeting with the thirteen white supremacist politicians to bring them up to date on the missing flash drive and the death of the prostitute. Not knowing where the prostitute hid the flash drive, they decide to hire NATHAN HANDLER a brutal ex Marine and veteran Psych Ops interrogator at the infamous Abu Grib prison to try and find where Pepper hid the flash drive and to liquidate the person she left it with. But when Handler shows up unannounced on Taylor's doorstep and offers to pay him $20,000 to help find the flash drive, Taylor realizes Pepper s fear was real and that someone high up in the government is willing to kill to retrieve it. Tayl or doesn't tell the Kandahar veteran he already has the flash drive. Instead he sets out to locate someone who can crack open the encrypted information. And when he does, it sets in motion a deadly cat and mouse chase that takes them across two continents and 9000 miles of ocean that ends up in the corridors of power in the Oval Office. And the only question that remains........Is the president a part of it?

I worked extremely hard to put myself through high school, college and became a Vice President at one of the nations largest banks only to see my bosses and those above me with power retaliate against me time and time again before and after I was a whistle blower. I have tried to become better at everything I do from school, work, my health and own the mistakes I made, but I wont let anyone take my integrity away from me, I've worked too hard at it and for it. I'm healthier than I have ever been, but my family isn't and wont get the help they need. I have lost most of my family as well during this process of recovery.

This bank and HVAC retailer only care about money, keeping their secrets and will try to run over anyone that gets in their way. Both of these companies are about to learn if you mess with the bull you're going to get the horns!!!! Make no mistake a stagecoach and horses are no match for a bull!!!

Life After Suicide
Author: Jennifer Ashton
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062906062
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
From the chief medical correspondent of ABC News, an eloquent, heartbreaking, yet hopeful memoir of surviving the suicide of a loved one, examining this dangerous epidemic and offering first-hand knowledge and advice to help family and friends find peace. Jennifer Ashton, M.D., has witnessed firsthand the impact of a loved one’s suicide. When her ex-husband killed himself soon after their divorce, her world—and that of her children—was shattered. Though she held a very public position with one of the world’s largest media companies, she was hesitant to speak about the personal trauma that she and her family experienced following his death. A woman who addresses the public regularly on intimate health topics, she was uncertain of revealing her devastating loss—the most painful thing she’d ever experienced. But with the high-profile suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, Dr. Ashton recognized the importance of talking about her experience and the power of giving voice to her grief. She shared her story with her Good Morning America family on air—an honest, heartbreaking revelation that provided comfort and solace to others, like her and her family, who have been left behind. In Life After Suicide, she opens up completely for the first time, hoping that her experience and words can inspire those faced with the unthinkable to persevere. Part memoir and part comforting guide that incorporates the latest insights from researchers and health professionals, Life After Suicide is both a call to arms against this dangerous, devastating epidemic, and an affecting story of personal grief and loss. In addition, Dr. Ashton includes stories from others who have survived the death of a loved one by their own hand, showing how they survived the unthinkable and demonstrating the vital roles that conversation and community play in recovering from the suicide of a loved one. The end result is a raw and revealing exploration of a subject that’s been taboo for far too long, providing support, information, and comfort for those attempting to make sense of their loss and find a way to heal.
