About this Book

The Draconian Agenda of Human Predators

Human predators have twisted beliefs that cause them to lie, cheat, manipulate and exploit the people they target. They are the “takers” rather than “givers” of life. Sometimes known as psychopaths or sociopaths or plain old narcissists, they don’t have empathy or a conscience. They could be one of your neighbors or someone in high places where they can advance their agenda by acting on their twisted beliefs.

These life-takers don’t even try to hide their agenda any more. Through the corporate controlled American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), they are rapidly advancing their life-taking agenda. They’ve created templates for topic-specific legislation that they provide to state legislators that can be tweaked and adapted. North Carolina has become a test-state for ALEC’s agenda. If it is successful here, it will set precedents that can be used in other states where they control the state legislature and governor’s office. The YouTube video shows Western North Carolina’s reaction to this agenda: Mountain Moral Monday.

Reviews of Twisted Beliefs: How They Cause Premature Hardening of the Categories…

In the 25 years that I’ve known Barry Weinhold, he has been excavating out in the fields human behavior and relationships and carefully examining the psychological artifacts he’s dug up. This first book in a series of four is a gift that Barry draws up from his deep well of curiosity, life experience, inner work and research. Barry’s sweeping searchlight illuminates the widespread institutional predation in our 21st century world.

He astutely connects behaviors and outcomes with beliefs. Barry has zeroed in on this ever-so-common human behavior and offers a way out! And the way out is in — into the dark box of mistaken beliefs buried somewhere in the psyche. The frosting on this tour de force cake can be found in the many tools that he offers the reader to use to examine his or her life, behaviors and beliefs — literally to see oneself in the mirror.

“This book offers a plethora of useful tools for a fully functioning self…”

In this intriguing book Barry opens our eyes to the often ignored truth that while we may not be able to do much to change others, that is really not what we ought to be about in the first place. His emphasis on dealing honestly with our past and our own dysfunction is a much needed message in this age of anger, finger pointing and closed mindedness. He offers not only diagnosis but a plethora of useful tools for developing a healthy consciousness and what he calls a fully functioning self.

While my life experiences have been significantly different from those Barry so honestly shares, and my experience in the Christian faith has been much more positive than was his, this book has challenged me to think more deeply and honestly about all manner of things, including my faith, and to live more openly as I seek to be all I was created to be.
