  The Greatest Story Ever Sold: The Decline and Fall of Truth from 9/11 to Katrina , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 584min

  New York Times correspondent Frank Rich examines the trail of fictions manufactured by the Bush administration from 9/11 to Hurricane Katrina, exposing the most brilliant spin campaign ever waged.When America was attacked on 9/11, its citizens almost unanimously rallied behind its new, untested president as he went to war. What they didn't know at the time was that the Bush administration's highest priority was not to vanquish Al Qaeda, but to consolidate its own power at any cost. It was a mission that could be accomplished only by a propaganda presidency in which reality was steadily replaced by a scenario of the White House's own invention; and such was that scenario's devious brilliance that it fashioned a second war against an enemy that did not attack America on 9/11, intimidated the Democrats into incoherence and impotence, and turned a presidential election into an irrelevant referendum on macho imagery and same-sex marriage.As only he can, acclaimed New York Times columnist Frank Rich delivers a step-by-step chronicle of how skillfully the White House built its house of cards and how the institutions that should have exposed these fictions, the mainstream news media, were too often left powerless by the administration's relentless attack machine, their own post-9/11 timidity, and an unending parade of self-inflicted scandals (typified by those at The New York Times).Demonstrating the candor and conviction that have made him one of our most trusted and incisive public voices, Rich brilliantly and meticulously illuminates the White House's disturbing love affair with "truthiness", and the ways in which a bungled war, a seemingly obscure Washington leak, and a devastating hurricane at long last revealed the man-behind-the-curtain and the story that had so effectively been sold to the nation, as god-given patriotic fact. ungekürzt.

  Confidence: Your Birthright as a Child of God , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 254min

  Confidence: Your Birthright as a Child of God is a joyful affirmation of the divine truth that human beings are the spiritual children of God. Before any other, this truth is the key to grounded and durable self-assurance. In the age of picture-perfect Instagram posts and hyper-competition, it’s easy to feel self-doubt. Instead of pressing forward with confidence and hope, we might pull back, unconvinced of our potential.This book explores a broad set of Christian truths that argue for the opposite mentality. We are meant to feel confident. It’s our birthright as children of God! The book opens with a parable about an unusual zoo on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, Argentina, where Kathy Clayton lived with her husband for several years on assignment from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The zoo was like none other she had seen.At the Lujan Zoo, animal keepers invited visitors into the enclosures of the enormous lions to pet the docile beasts. Fascinated by the unnatural, timid behavior of those wild animals, Kathy asked the keepers why the powerful felines allowed random visitors to approach and pet them. She learned that those lions had lived with small, yappy dogs in their enclosures with them since they had been tiny kittens. As is the disposition of dogs to tyrannize cats, those scrappy dogs had nipped at the heels of the lion cubs and constantly chased them into the corners of their pens. The lions had become accustomed to responding with fear and timidity to the harassment of the merciless dogs.Without the benefit of mirrors in the pens to enable them to appreciate their actual stature, those lions continued to cower in the corners of their pens even as they grew to full-sized felines. They continued to allow the pesky dogs to control and tyrannize them long after they needed to be subject to the humiliating domination. Because of an inaccurate awareness of who they really were, the lions were unable to rise to the ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kathy Kipp Clayton.

  Shed Your Shy

  The long awaited release of Chanda Cooper's second full-length album 'Shed Your Shy' has finally arrived! 'Chanda Cooper weaves together an eclectic blend of folk and celtic, interspersed with colours of classical and roots music. Her simple, honest poetry combines with rich and powerful music, to take us on her poignant journey of faith and love. Whimsy and deep passion join to create an album one cannot stop listening to. Part Jewel, part Rory Block, she is like the Uber Indie-Chick - one who can actually sing, play and has something profound to say.' -Lori Mohacsy (Singer, Actor and daughter of radio personality Tony Biamonte) 'Shed Your Shy' was recorded at the Norwood Studio in the heart of Edmonton, Alberta. The album was co-produced by Chanda Cooper and the wonderful and multi-faceted Chris Wynters, who mixed and engineered the album. Chris is a singer, songwriter, composer and producer, not to mention the founder of Captain Tractor, one of Alberta's most successful indie bands (selling an excess of 60,000 records). They began recording 'Shed Your Shy' in July of 2009 and quickly formed a mutual-respect for each other's music. Since then, Chanda has participated with Chris on his latest solo project to be released in summer of 2010. The two artists plan for further collaborations in the future. The first experience with "Shed Your Shy" will envelop the listener in a haunting, emotional encounter evoked by Chanda's pure voice and poignant lyrics. Lyrics that have been shaped by the good, the bad, and the woe of life. As these interweave with the permeating sounds of the cello, performed by Martin Johann Kloppers, a cord is formed that holds the album together from beginning to end. Fans of Chanda's will notice quickly the evolution of her talent since her first album 'Beyond' (2004) as they are caught up in the honest journey upon which they are invited to sing out loud in the shower, in their car, or with friends, leaving behind their own timidity as fellow sojourners on the pathway of life. As a self-taught artist, Chanda's musical roots go back to her childhood where she found herself always singing, whether in the rain or the sun or in the back of her family's 1958 camperized school bus. She continues to surprise those who stumble upon this down-to-earth and virtually undiscovered gem! She is slowly and unassumingly making her way into the independent music scene sharing the stage with such talented performers as Craig Cardiff, Josh Garrels, Amy Seeley, and more! When you purchase the album "Shed Your Shy" you can rest in the assurance that you are supporting a truly independent artiste and helping fuel the ever-growing fire of quality independent Canadian music.

  Elemental Assets

  Schönes Listening-Technoalbum mit Gastvocals von Miss Kittin und Sam Leigh-BrownAuf Elemental Assets findest Du Musik, welche über die letzten Jahre entstand und in die ich viel Zeit investierte, sowohl um meine Produktionstechniken zu verfeinern, als auch um meine Kreativität auf ein anderes Level zu heben. Einige Tracks entstanden in weniger schönen Momenten, andere wiederum unter glücklichen Umständen und vielleicht hörst Du das ja heraus. Musik ist für mich ein emotionales Ventil welches mir erlaubt, meine Gefühle auszudrücken und mich von meiner Rastlosigkeit zu befreien. ELEMENTAL ASSETS bezieht sich auf die essentiellen Dinge im Leben. Jene Dinge, die ich zum Existieren brauche. Musik macht einen großen Teil davon aus, was essentiell für mich ist, genauso wie die Luft zum Atmen oder die Liebe die ich von meinen Liebsten erfahre. Die Titel der Stücke sind Abbilder meiner Gefühle und Erlebnisse der letzten zwei Jahre. Inspirited Away kam mir in den Sinn als ich über zwei Produzenten nachdachte, die mich wirklich inspirieren: Steve Rachmad and John Beltran. EINE NEUE ERFAHRUNG für mich war das Arbeiten mit zwei Sängerinnen. Ich bin Miss Kittin und Sam Leigh-Brown für ihren Input in Le Flaneur and High Maintenance unglaublich dankbar. TRACKS: 01. Intro (1:32) 02. Late Night Thinking (6:52) 03. Passionate Timidity (6:50) 04. Does It Ring A Bell (6:43) 05. Le Flaneur (vocals by Miss Kittin) (6:21) 06. My Challenge (7:18) 07.
