The Most Revolutionary Act: Memoir of an American Refugee
By Dr Stuart Jeanne Bramhall
Review by Stuart Kreisman, author of Dick Cheney's Diary originally for Amazon.com
A simple sit-in at an administration building becomes the catalyst for a surreal, Kafkaesque, hellish fifteen years for Dr. Stuart Jeanne Bramhall in her compelling new book The Most Revolutionary Act: Memoir of an American Refugee. Dr. Bramhall, a practicing Seattle-based psychiatrist tells in chilling detail how attending a seemingly innocent meeting to protest racial abuse at a local school triggers a covert government plot to destroy the cause and her life.
Dr. Bramhall's work confirms the myth of the "Vast right wing conspiracy" that was dismissed by the mainstream media when it was coined by then first Lady Hillary Clinton. It is a country where no person or secret is safe. People who you trust are not to be trusted. Harassment, violence and murder are tools used to subvert the Progressive agenda and the people who advocate it.
Lest you think The Most Revolutionary Act: Memoir of an American Refugee is just tell the story of one woman's struggle to fight the system, it is much more than that. Dr. Bramhall's amazing tale also involves the Kennedy assassination, the government's "War" on AIDS, the plot against single player healthcare, suppression of African Americans and much more. Paranoia is real. Schizophrenia is not just a mental disorder, it' a weapon.
A psychological thriller of the first order, The Most Revolutionary Act: Memoir of an American Refugee is also a cautionary tale. CIA and FBI operatives are indeed among us. Opposing the agenda of Corporate America is not tolerated. Those that try fight the good fight, but the establishment will stop at nothing to stay in power. Dr. Bramhall's harrowing tale is testament to that.

That's Entertainment! Horror Films, History and Scream Queens.
Book Review: Confessions of a Scream Queen
By Matt Beckoff
Bear Manor Media
ISBN-13: 973-1-59393-539-9
Reviewed by: Wesley Britton
For fans of nostalgia and entertainment, small presses like Bear Manor Media fill niches no other publishers will touch. For example, BMM books run the range from memoirs by child stars of the 1930s to extremely well-researched histories of radio, film, and TV series, to collections of interviews with actors from a variety of genres. As a result, many of these books appeal to specific audiences hungry for insights into the films and shows that influenced them years ago. These are readers who enjoy nostalgia conventions where they visit autograph tables and meet participants from the thrilling days of yesteryear. These buffs provide many bit or retired actors a second career—telling old stories for enthusiastic fans of projects completed before many of them were born.
So, typically, Bear Manor Media’s Confessions of a Scream Queen is a book for a particular—and loyal--fan base, in this case lovers of horror and Sci-Fi movies. In this collection, interviewer Matt Beckoff has assembled a sort of mini-con in print with 15 actresses recalling their most famous or infamous roles. Many of these ladies had careers and parts as hit-and-run as some of these interviews. As a result, with a few exceptions, film students will not get in-depth behind-the-scenes discussions of how horror films came to be. Instead, we get snapshots, glimpses into how the acting profession has changed since the early days of talking pictures to the present. One theme resonating through this book as a whole is how these working girls once found roles in pictures that none expected to have long-shelf lives, only to be happily surprised to learn they still have fans hoping to both see their work again and again and learn more about them personally long after the camera stopped rolling. For others, with more diverse resumes, their surprise is how they’ve become “Scream Queens” at all as their roles in horror movies are but a small section of their credits.
Appropriately beginning with the first talkies, Beckoff spoke with Carla Laemmle, Lupita Tovar, Janet Ann Gallow, and Elena Verdego who worked with the likes of Lon Chaney and Bela Lugosi in the early horror films of Universal Studios. These are the shortest discussions in the book as these actresses had the shortest time on screen—first, young actresses who rarely spent time with the leading men, then married and raised families, and years later discovered themselves cult favorites. Then Beckoff moved into the noir era with Colleen Gray who appeared in such films as Kiss of Death, working with directors like Henry Hathaway and actors including Richard Widmark.
The book kicks into a higher gear with Kathleen Hughes as she appeared in a number of horror/Sci-Fi projects like IT Came From Outer Space and Judith O’Dea (Night of the Living Dead). Some devotees might be disappointed Hammer Films were represented by only one alumni--Ingrid Pitt (Vampire Lovers, Countess Dracula, Wicker Man). But “slasher” fans get Marilyn Burns (Texas Chain Saw Massacre), Betsy Palmer (Friday the 13th), and P. J. Soles (Carrie, Halloween). This trio are extremely erudite about the roles that made them famous and their appreciation for the audience response ever after. In fact, readers might raise an eyebrow to hear these actresses revealing how much professionalism they brought to movies none thought were more than a paycheck for a few weeks work.
For the wider film audience, the nuggets in the collections are conversations with actresses whose careers ran a wide range of genres such as Karen Black, Jessica Harper, and Dee Wallace. Black, for example, reminisced about her work on Five Easy Pieces, her time with Hitchcock in Family Plot, and her role as a country singer in Nashville. The final interview in the group, with Adrienne Barbeau, is the perfect finale as, in this crowd, she seems the Queen of Queens. After all, she not only appeared in four major John Carpenter films, she was married to him.
This isn’t a tome for research libraries, but it’s one to take with you for autographs at all those conventions. It’s enjoyable, and even more so for the pictures contributed by the interviewees and new photos taken by Beckoff—making this package attractive for every heterosexual male alive. Well, considering the subject matter, alive might be too restrictive an adjective. This collection was clearly a labor of love as Beckoff obviously did his homework and preparation by seeing all the movies and reading past interviews, some apparently twenty years old. So the book might not be indispensible reading, but it might give readers new appreciation for “Scream Queens”—even those who never did scream on-screen.

Patient Shares Her Healing, Approved by Her Practitioner
It's MY Crisis! And I'll Cry If I Need To: EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge
By Yocheved Golani
Publisher: Booklocker
Genre: Self-Help
Reviewed by Andrea Kornfeld, CST
I happen to know author Yocheved Golani. I treated her before, during and after she wrote her book. I watched miracles happen to her for years after her harrowing surgery and shocking recovery. EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge , its blog, and their author have transparency, reputation and guts. She wrote her story and her tips on how to help her readers very realistically. The power of positive thinking that Yocheved teaches is limitless.
A CranioSacral therapist certified by John Ledger himself, I have seen improvements in my patients who followed the suggestions in Yocheved Golani's powerful e-book It's MY Crisis! And I'll Cry If I Need To: EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge . My patients tell me that the sensible suggestions and charming sense of humor in the text soothes them. They appreciate the pleasantly formatted appearance of the e-book. Two pages appear at the same time, making the reading very easy on the eyes and the reader's memory.
EMPOWER Yourself helps readers as powerfully as the title suggests. My patients love the calming ideas, and the money-saving information in the Global Resources section. It's a time-saving list of outlets that can help them to pay medical bills, get free medical transportation and appliances, or even medication and medical care. Everyone suffering illness can and should benefit from this book!
My office still sells the earlier print edition published in 2007. I proudly recommend the updated e-book to new patients.

Reader Decides How To Make Money Is Good Thing
Title: You Will be Forced to Become Wealthy
Author: Finifid
Genre: Non Fiction
Reviewed by Ray Bank
I purchased this book for one simple reason – to make money, because a lack of it is my constant problem! I had to read this book two times (slower the second time) until I fully realized that it is really about how to make money. That is my strong opinion. Moreover, I plan to read it again since I feel that this book realistically jacked up my mood and desire to move ahead in my endeavors. In fact, as a result of the influence this book has had on my life, I have recently started up a business of my own, and this is only the beginning! I am so impressed with this work that I had to share my excitement with other people and that is the reason I decided to post this commentary here. I recommend that everyone own a copy of this book. This is a tiny investment into endless possibilities.

It's My Crisis and I'll Cry If I NEED To!
It's MY Crisis! And I'll Cry If I Need To: EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge
by Yocheved Golani
Booklocker Publishing
Reviewed by Laureen G. Sussman
This is an inspirational self-help E-book full of information that people with an illness need. You can read it on your iPhone if you wish! That could be helpful when you're waiting at the doctor's or in long lines at a store. Booklocker Publishing thinks of everything.
Yocheved Golani has writen an excellent guide for people who are facing a medical crisis. As the parent of a child with multiple disabilities, I wish I'd had her book available to me when my son was born over 28 years ago. I discovered so much on my own and sought out or created the support network that my husband and I needed. With Yocheved's book, people in similar situations do not need to reinvent the wheel.
EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge informs you about how to see stressful events in healthier perspective. Some funny stories in the book made me laugh when I least expected to. Yocheved gives soothing advice and helps her readers to calm down so you can function better. The appearance of the E-book is good on the eyes. It looks like two open pages with pleasant fonts and graphics.
You'll really cope with a medical challenge better with this E-book. The back of the book lists worldwide resources that can help you to get free or low-cost top-quality medical care, medication and medical appliances, even medical air transportation! That saves so much time and anguish. The information is right there for you to use it!
The information is succinct and appropriate to various medical crises. I highly recommend it to anyone in need.

This is an inspirational self-help E-book full of information that people with an illness need. You can read it on your iPhone if you wish! That could be helpful when you're waiting at the doctor's or in long lines at a store. Booklocker Publishing thinks of everything.
Yocheved Golani has writen an excellent guide for people who are facing a medical crisis. As the parent of a child with multiple disabilities, I wish I'd had her book available to me when my son was born over 28 years ago. I discovered so much on my own and sought out or created the support network that my husband and I needed. With Yocheved's book, people in similar situations do not need to reinvent the wheel.
EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge informs you about how to see stressful events in healthier perspective. Some funny stories in the book made me laugh when I least expected to. Yocheved gives soothing advice and helps her readers to calm down so you can function better. The appearance of the E-book is good on the eyes. It looks like two open pages with pleasant fonts and graphics.
You'll really cope with a medical challenge better with this E-book. The back of the book lists worldwide resources that can help you to get free or low-cost top-quality medical care, medication and medical appliances, even medical air transportation! That saves so much time and anguish. The information is right there for you to use it!
The information is succinct and appropriate to various medical crises. I highly recommend it to anyone in need.
