The real world is playing out so much like my novel series. Hopefully, it does not continue else individuals will feel the battle of liberty vs. authority in unimaginable (except in novels 😉 ) ways. This article details the extent of the surveillance state and, as highlighted in the novels, the designation of domestic terrorists. https://lnkd.in/gu-8wPSr Novel series - https://JimMosquera.com

From "Skylines", my upcoming book on modern urban conflict - As we can see, to effectively make sense of, and untangle those “condensation of conflicts, opposites and antagonism” will require, or even demand, a deep and thorough understanding of the levers and red buttons of conflict causes and their effects. Otherwise, we are simply dealing with the conflict symptoms, which can easily end up in an unending high-stakes game of whack-a-mole.

Regarding the bones in Westminster Abbey. Thanks to Annette Carson - I'm afraid there's a lot of tosh written about those bones. Chapter 10 of my book 'Richard III The Maligned King' describes AND illustrates precisely where they were found, and gives verbatim reports of the people who found them. Sadly these authentic reports pale by comparison with dramatic fictionalized ideas (e.g. Arthur Conan Doyle). Last year I gave a talk about this via Zoom to members of the Richard III Society, emphasizing the lack of expertise of the people who examined the bones in 1933, who merely succeeded in contaminating them more. Plus they X-rayed them, which is guaranteed to have degraded any DNA material that might have survived. DNA testing is only possible when you have a decent enough sample from antiquity. You don't need to be a member to look at all the information on the RIII Society's website, so I recommend (1) the FAQ about the bones, and (2) my article which summarizes their history. Happy reading! Thanks to Annette Carson.

Susanne Knittel and I examine these and other questions in our co-authored chapter, which is now out in open access:
