How to gain power with The 48 Laws of Power & Laws of Attraction with NY Times Best Selling Author Robert Greene   The 48 Laws of Power has been referenced in songs by Jay Z, Kanye West, and Drake.  Busta Rhymes used The 48 Laws of Power to deal with problematic movie producers. Greene has claimed former Cuban President Fidel Castro had also read the book. The Libyan politician Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, son of the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, read his books as part of his reading routine. The 48 Laws of Power is one of the most requested books in American prison libraries. Several American prisons have banned The 48 Laws of Power and The 33 Strategies of War. Greene's books are sometimes described as manipulative and amoral. The Sunday Times noted that The 48 Laws of Power has become the "Hollywood back-stabber's bible" and that although the book is reportedly used by some business executives, it is difficult to find people who publicly acknowledge its influence because of the book's controversial nature.  Greene responds to this sentiment by stating, "These laws… people might say, 'Oh they're wicked', but they're practiced day in and day out by businesspeople. You're always trying to get rid of your competition and it can be pretty bloodthirsty, and that's just the reality. Greene's work has been featured in The New York Times, USA Today, CNN, The New Yorker, Newsweek, the Los Angeles Times, Forbes, Huffington Post, Business Week, Business Insider, Fast Company, Slate, and XXL. Greene has also appeared on The Today Show, CNBC, ABC, and MTV News

In 1616, British officer Nathaniel Courthope was sent to a tiny island in the East Indies to contest a Dutch monopoly on nutmeg.

In the UK, there is no clear consensus about how trans athletes should be included in competitive sport. Last month, a major review by the Sports Council Equality Group (SCEG) found that trans female athletes retain some competitive advantages and that inclusion cannot always coexist with fairness and safety. While the new guidance has been welcomed by some, it's also faced criticism from LGBT+ groups.

In 1945, a U.S. Army transport plane crashed in New Guinea, leaving three survivors marooned in the island's mountainous interior. Injured, starving, and exhausted, the group seemed beyond the hope of rescue. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe the plight of the stranded survivors and the remarkable plan to save them. We'll also reflect on synthetic fingerprints and puzzle over a suspicious notebook. Intro: What's the shortest possible game of Monopoly if each player plays optimally? Omen or crated inkwell.

Highlights:  “The British media is willing to say what our leftwing activists disguised as journalists in our mainstream media refused to even consider acknowledge given their radical self-inflicted partisan blindness.”“According to Rod Liddle of The Sunday Times in the UK, soon the American public will wake up to a very unpleasant sinister fact that the last presidential election was a fraud, rigged by big business and labor unions and more than anything else, the media and the tech companies. And I think he rightly says it, if this election had taken place in any other country it would have been considered a corrupt farce.”“The point of this article in The Sunday Times is that even completely discounting the Arizona audit results, as far as this journalist is concerned, I mean we didn't even need the audit to objectively conclude that the election a year ago was in his words ‘plainly rigged'.”“The latest Rasmussen poll has Biden barely clinging to 40% approval while the disapprovals are reaching a near 60%.”Timestamps:[01:38] Rod Liddle's article calling our November election a fraud and how he's concerned that the same will happen in the UK[04:45] On how trump was cut off by FB and Twitter and how the MSM is reporting that Hunter Biden's laptop is a hoax[07:58] How there's really was a conspiracy to manage what information is made available to the public[10:55] On Biden's cratering approval ratings and how voters stopped trusting himResources:Join me in Jacksonville, FL, with Donald Trump Jr!!!
