Victims Books

Human Resources staff should make this well written and compelling book mandatory reading for their management teams.

Mabel Dunbar shares her own story from victim to personal triumph and understanding that God had a special purpose for her life.

As a therapist Dr. Dunbar discovered that many of her clients base their thoughts, actions, and feelings about themselves on what other people have told them about who they are and what their potential is. The Truth About Us relates stories of victims followed by affirmation statements, personal reflection time and active processing of personal experiences.

Using a strong Biblical base Dr. Dunbar shows that every person is of equal value to God. Her story and the stories of others that have gained freedom in Christ shows the truth of our inestimable value to Him.

A detailed and thoughtful assessment of how the work of corporations and their lawyers in the developing world can have devastating consequences, and can ultimately work injustice. As an international corporate finance lawyer, I can tell you that this is a cautionary tale that we all should read.

While I was at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School back in the late 80's, I was studying under Dr. Sell basic problems associated with being the adult child of an alcoholic. By identifying the problems, one can overcome. I took his "Alcoholism and the Family" class, then with his help, I wrote a paper in an individual study class with him and wrote a paper. He was able to use some of the material in this paper for his book. He now uses this book as a text for his class and i am very proud to have been part of it. (...)

I love Shaila Dewan and how she writes. She doesn't just tell a story... She lives it. You can feel the emotion behind her writing and feel like she is telling it to you face to face, not just though words on a page. If I could summarize her in 1 word... It would be beastly.

This article is a must read.

This is a book by a brilliant author, black in a system of racism/white supremacy, born into the worst racist decades of our country, so he profoundly figured out how to think/behave/feel logically to counter the racist code.

At first I didn't understand the way he meant many statements in the book, such as that whites are smarter than blacks. But that statement is not about general intelligence, of course -- he means that whites are 'smarter' about racism, since they practice it.

At first I didn't understand so much of what he says. And I felt defensive as a white person. My understanding has come like violets come in the spring, growing roots in my subconscious then appearing to me suddenly in flashes of understanding and insight. There is a depth that has kept me reading the book and studying it. There is a need for white people to put equal effort into writing about how we can end racism/white supremacy for good, many voices needed to join those of Tim Wise and other committed authors.

Mr. Fuller gives an antidote to and ways to cope with the victimhood of racism. Because non-whites are victims of white supremacy, he is saying, don't just accept victimhood. He maps out how to counter racism and white supremacy in all areas of activity.

When white people harm non-white people, the wrongdoers -- the white people -- must undo that harm. Justice requires that the wrongdoer make amends. In this book, without waiting for white people to end white supremacy/racism, Mr. Fuller outlines steps that victims of racism can take to decode the language and actions of white supremacy and not to further fall victim to it by their own response.

Mr. Fuller helps people see that following the logic, and following one's gut, about racism/white supremacy, go a long way in understanding why things happen.

The problems blacks face today are the result of the legacy of slavery, Jim Crow, global white supremacy, etc. No white person can call himself anti-racist unless he analyzes every part of his life and behavior to understand how he might be supporting the global system of white supremacy.

Mr. Fuller has analyzed what black people can do in every part of their lives and behaviors, to counter the system, to use codification to logically counter white supremacy's code.

His mind, his commitment, are honest, are brilliant, and every white person who is not putting in equal commitment should be ashamed that he/she is not working as hard as this author to end completely, white supremacy/racim in this global village.

Mr. Fuller says, "I'm still learning." I'm still learning too, as a white person, and will write a better review the more I learn.

I don't agree with all of his ideas. He welcomes questioning and disagreement, unlike some people who demand followers without disagreement, like some leaders in our country right now. He doesn't expect anyone to agree with all of his ideas, that's why he uses the word "independent" in the title.

This logical mind lends itself to help us, both black and white. Returning help for hurt is the legacy of black people in this world. Mr. Fuller selflessly contributes help for hurt, adds to understanding, and he also helps people on a personal individual level, as many can attest.

Gabe Garshowitz is a veteran cop with thirty years of experience; a deceased wife; and an alienated daughter. He occasionally thinks of retirement, until he is partnered with spunky Iris Forester, his now supervisor's niece. Iris has a mean kick; an attitude readers will love; and a soft spot for Gabe. Together, they take on six cases which nets Gabe a new dog, Iris the benefit of Gabe's considerable insight, and between them, the tracking down of a crooked cop who gets Iris shot:

"I shone my flashlight on her and saw the blood on her shoulder. I pulled her off the ledge, ripped the velcro from her bullet-proof vest and exposed her collar. A bullet had grazed her neck. I cradled her head in my lap and pressed my fingers directly on the wound to stop the flow of blood. Her eyes closed and her head fell lifelessly to one side."

Abram injects his Detective Garshowitz with the right amount of droll wit; subjective guilt over his wife's death; and loyalty towards those he cares about. Garshowitz has bad knees and is lonely, but he is still a wonderful partner who cares about justice and getting the bad guy...especially when his daughter becomes an innocent victim. It's just this balance of innate gruffness that endears him to the beautiful and talented Iris. Together they take on the bad guys...and in particular Simon Munz, who they are sure is on the take.

The Unlikely Victims is a gritty portrayal of what a grind police work really is. The differing personalities can either mesh or badly conflict in stressful situations, resulting in nasty accidents. Abram's prose is humorous; tragic; and witty. Gabe Garshowitz is an unwilling hero who only tries to do what is right, but with more intelligence than most. And any story with a dog at the center is sure to please.

Alvin Abram has been a professional writer since 1995. His books include: Why Zaida?, The Light After The Dark and The Light After The Dark II. His credits include publication in several journals.

In 1965 the world was shocked by a photograph taken by Lord Snowdon, then brother-in-law to Queen Elizabeth II. It was a photograph depicting a small, impoverished boy from London looking scared, lost and overwhelmed. The photograph was published on the front cover of the Sunday Times Magazine and was subsequently used by the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) in a widespread fundraising publicity campaign. The photograph has hung in the National Portrait Gallery in London and in galleries around the world and copies continue to be sold worldwide.

To the world this was a shocking image of artistic quality reflecting that there are poor children in the world. But to that little boy it was a moment in time, a moment in a real life that was plagued by daily abuse and neglect, hunger and unimaginable squalor. To that little boy who discovered the existence of the photograph some thirty plus years after it was taken and discovered he was the boy in the photograph, it was an affirmation that he really did exist and the nightmare that was his childhood really did occur.

This is his story. The unvarnished true story of the life of Peter Roche, the author, the little boy in the photograph. A shocking story from the shores of the United Kingdom that reveals a different era of exploitation by bureucracy and the media; that reveals the truth to the public that he was not "saved" and "helped" to an elevated lifestyle of clean clothes, a clean home, a loving, nurturing home environment and a table full of food as the world was led to believe.

In a painful and courageous manner, Mr. Roche opens up wounds of horrible abuse; of being shunned by teachers and shamed; of living in a dumpyard to escape the violence that surrounded his home life; of scrounging in dustbins for food; of a life that turned briefly to petty crime with the sole hope of survival, all the while knowing it was wrong. And he writes how the horrors of his childhood carried over into his adult life until this point in time when he has begun to find redemption and justice for the little boy that the world saw in print, but not in reality as he wandered the streets.

This book sends a universal message and it is no wonder that it shot to the top of the United Kingdom's bestseller charts upon its original release. Behind every photograph depicting human life is a far greater picture. It is the picture that surrounds that life itself and the true story of that person's existence, whether man, woman or child. And Mr. Roche reaffirms to the world that child abuse and neglect is a perpetual global crisis. It is not something that occurs in foreign countries or other cities, but rather happens before our eyes and in our midst if we dare to see it. And child abuse and neglect, including the exploitation of children for the monetary gain of others which in and of itself is abusive, must be stopped. And we are all charged with the responsibility to bring this to the forefront of awareness of the world and seek the means to eradicate it so no child suffers or endures what Mr. Roche did.

This is a book that must be read. We cannot afford not to read it and to know; even through the tears that we might shed on Mr. Roche's behalf. Admittedly, this book is filled with sad moments, but it is also peppered with moments of good humor and resilience in the face of grave adversity. Mr. Roche is not a hero. He is, however, a survivor. And we owe it to him and to every other child who has endured child abuse and neglect to listen, to read and to join in the battle against this plague and seek a cure that will erase this for all time and protect our most precious resource, our children!

You may now possess a book banned by the national noncensorship committee at the Library of Congress, through use of the national library database. Online Union Control, or alternately, Prism. As of July 1, 1996, "Defrauding America", by Rodney Stich, and my book departed the "subject" search heading, Judicial Corruption, as well as an entire search heading, Elections-Corrupt Practices, along with the title, Votescam, by Jim and Ken Collier, left the national literary database, WorldCat , used by libraries and book stores across the nation. And of course, you won't hear about our government using the L.o.C. computer database to politically censor our literature(NEWS) by reading our monopoly Advertpaper(s). This book involves what became the legalized alteration of public records(the cash cow for judges in the United States for the last 35 years), the federal witness "protection" program. The subpoenaed witness "disappeared", more providentially than the court's duty to enforce the subpoena and my witness's right to be free and to invoke his desire to testify, sans interference, concerning the indiscretions of a few judges.

After the subpoenaed witness was disappeared, so that he could not testify against the judge(John F. Corrigan), and after the Cleveland FBI cell explained to the author that interfering with a witness was not a crime, and after the Ohio eighth district appellate court with John F. Corrigan(in his only case as an appellate court judge and as the presiding appellate judge) was unable to see the error in the municipal court that had saved his worthless being, and after the author had gone to the state supreme court with his petition, and after his home had been violated in order to remove evidentiary materials damaging to the state and federal attorneys' general offices by the state Bureau of Criminal(!) "Investigation", per orders(verifiable by the venues police chief[no search warrant]) by Thomas J. Moyer(chief "justice" of the Ohio state supreme court), the author could sense there was some factor which was far more pervasive and ominous than just his own inability to obtain his enjoining of a hospital in a criminal prosecution, concerning their beating of a patient and starving to death of another victim in Marymount deathpital. The BCI searched the author's home and seized the original document, but they failed to anticipate the copies of the original, which appear in the book, "Up-Front Sleeper". If you find this difficult to believe, you're controlled by that entity which is supposed to divulge this stuff(information), our monopoly FREEcensoredPRESS.

When the author finally realized there was a pattern of general denial of his rights to judicial remedy, in effect protecting the Corrigan cabal, the idea developed to try to interest the federal superior court, through one of its justices(Souter), to hear a case where the state of Ohio's supreme court had denied a citizen his fifth, sixth, seventh, and later, his first and fourth amendment rights. The author published the book with the intent to deluge the federal supreme court, as well as other targets, with copies of the NEWSBOOK. Check out the Preface, in the book, to see how that attempt fared!

All public libraries, in the state of Ohio, were told, by their STATE liebrary board, to remove all copies of this book from their shelves, with the implied threat that any who did not comply would pay with their jobs. The state of the origin of votefraud, Florida, and Ohio are the only two states so blessed with such boards.

This true story is a demonstration of what is now occurring, when our Press)or our libraries) no longer perform the vital function of informing our electorate of the actions of a nefarious government, when our FREE PRESS is no longer numerous, competitive and responsive the needs of a self governing society. The seven major points illustrated and discussed by the book are as follow:

(1) The Attorneys' General windfall in altering public records-precursor to the now legal federal witness protection program. So now, the federal agents, in this conspiracy to enable judges to continue to take bribes, cannot be prosecuted. That was the only purpose for this act, to protect cooperative federal judges and clerks, not witnesses. State judges can continue to take bribes to disappear witnesses, even if the witnesses never testify. It's all so neat. BIG Money for the attorneys general. And you'll never know who the vast number of these witnesses are. The bar governs what the press can divulge, of course. If you don't believe me, try telling this news, as did the author;

+ our ever lovin' ex-Willie, how many of our federal supreme court "justices" are ex state attorneys general?

(2) Conflict of interest in our Congresses-the Bar's member legislators and why they misrepresent the vast majority by serving-guess whom(?), in our law creating legislatures;

(3) Our corrupted judicial network, who now invoke injustice as "business as usual";

(4) The Justice department's anti-trust division's allowance of our First amendment right to a free, competitive P4ress-our most crucial right- to expire. Time may be past to resurrect our ability to be an informed electorate. Online Computer Library Center, located in the heart of it all, Dublin, Ohio, with 98%(1996 claim) of public libraries and book stores subscribing, is currently censoring(restricting) their computer display of our Libraries' holdings, as a further assault on the First. Access, in effect, denied;

(5) Blatant(only when publicized) obstruction of the process of justice by the "investigatory staff" of Justice, the Federal Bureau of "Investigation", patterned after the Russian czarist secret police, the Checka, in 1909, by Theodore Roosevelt, and by the adjunct to our state's attorney's general office, the Bureau of Criminal "Investigation" (more accurately, the CBI);

(6) Civil rights vs. Government sanctioned psychiatric abuse; and,

(7) Ohio's fraudulent state medical licensing board-self regulation parodied-your safety compromised on a grand scale, with the complicity of our oligarchic,
nondemocratic government.
Global censorship is a logical progression in the scheme of information control.
