Download or read book Highgate to Hell written by John W. Lynn and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-12-14 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no doubt that corruption is a serious and destructive crime that goes back to the beginning of time and even today continues to infect authorities and governments everywhere. Even a small, local community in New York is not spared from it. Author John W. Lynn took a stand against corruption and government bullies. Readers will be shocked to read about what happened to him in Highgate to Hell: An unbelievable but true story of Government crime, corruption, deception, and racial discrimination released through Xlibris. Lynn’s true story begins in Pomona, a village of less than three thousand people located twenty miles north of New York City. In this small village a series of horrific acts were committed by government officials that affected many individuals, families, and businesses. Described in vivid detail, this book reveals the impact that these criminal acts and outrageous cover-ups had on the lives of innocent people. Having witnessed and been a victim of these events himself, the author reveals how those who tried to help him retreated out of fear and intimidation due to the destructive, malicious people that used their political influence and connections. This is particularly relevant in today’s economic climate as it underscores the need for everyone to abhor destructive behavior on the part of government officials who abuse their power for selfish gains instead of serving the public who elected them. Highgate to Hell promises to give readers an informative look at corruption at the State and Federal level but goes further in that it demonstrates that anyone could fall victim to this kind of political abuse.

Download or read book A Catholic Life written by Gerald Murphy and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gerald Murphy (1931 – 2015) led a catholic life in every sense of the word. The first son of a Irish policeman in the Met, he left school at 16 determined to pursue a career as an architect. Thrown out of a London Poly for failing his written exams, he found his way to the Architectural Association where how well you designed was more important than absorbing other people’s ideas. In his twenties he combined his practice work with running and cooking for cafes, restaurants and, rather advanced for those days, pop-up nightclubs. He also fell in love but it wasn’t to last and his subsequent romances would be forgotten when the next architectural project came along. Much of his professional work was for the Church and in 1982 his firm won the competition to build the Wembley outdoor church for the Pope Paul II’s public mass. His faith was firm but unsanctimonious. His work for religious vocations through Serra International, of which he became International President at age 50 was rewarded by a papal knighthood. Post Serra Conference trips were a highlight and the hilarious journey to Genoa in a double-decker bus well stocked with spirit, if not always divine, is a cherished memory for many. He had his share of adversity. A physical disability meant he had to wear callipers as a child. He was dyslexic; he never could spell but he could spin a good yarn and his stories make this account of a catholic life a funny, inspiring and intriguing read. In the last 12 years of his life he found a new contentment in marriage and as the step father to two daughters. In the year he died, at nearly 84, he was still giving of his time to various charities and to the NHS as a mental health manager.
