True Ghost Stories: Real Demonic Possessions and Exorcisms , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 116min
Within this book, you will find eyewitness stories unlike anything you've heard before. You will experience the terror, the helplessness, the loss of control, and the torment felt by those who have fallen prey to the dark powers in this world - the demon possessed. The symptoms of demonic possessions manifest themselves in many ways - convulsions, bite marks appearing from nothing, and levitation are all common. The victims frequently inherit clairvoyant abilities, too, seeing directly into another person's soul to uncover their deepest, darkest secrets. Perhaps most incredibly of all, though, the possessed may begin speaking in a language they've never previously been exposed to. These are symptoms it's almost impossible to explain or dismiss. This chilling collection of stories date from modern times all the way back to the 1600s, spanning multiple countries including the United States, Great Britain, the Philippines, France, and South Africa. From the poor to the middle-class, the prostitute to the housewife, and the schoolboy to the local butcher, you will learn demons do not discriminate between class, gender, or age - it can happen to anyone. Most of the time, the demon possesses one individual, but not always. In this book, you will find the case of two brothers possessed simultaneously and interacting with each other in the throes of their possession as well as an instance in which an entire school of children seem to suffer at the hands of a demonic entity. Some of these horror stories arose from poor judgment, such as a pact with the devil or seeking the help of an ill-reputed healer. Others succumbed to a curse, while some are unfortunate enough to simply find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. Some of the victims of these stories were delivered, but found their lives cut dramatically short, no doubt due to the physical torments their human bodies endured during the possession and exorcism. ungekürzt.

The Borgias: The Hidden History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1198min
The startling truth behind one of the most notorious dynasties in history is revealed in a remarkable new account by the acclaimed author of The Tudors and A World Undone. Sweeping aside the gossip, slander, and distortion that have shrouded the Borgias for centuries, G. J. Meyer offers an unprecedented portrait of the infamous Renaissance family and their storied milieu. The Borgias They burst out of obscurity in Spain not only to capture the great prize of the papacy, but to do so twice. Throughout a tumultuous half-century - as popes, statesmen, warriors, lovers, and breathtakingly ambitious political adventurers - they held center stage in the glorious and blood-drenched pageant known to us as the Italian Renaissance, standing at the epicenter of the power games in which Europe’s kings and Italy’s warlords gambled for life-and-death stakes. Five centuries after their fall - a fall even more sudden than their rise to the heights of power - they remain immutable symbols of the depths to which humanity can descend: Rodrigo, the Borgia who bought the papal crown and prostituted the Roman Church; Cesare, the Borgia who became first a teenage cardinal and then the most treacherous cutthroat of a violent time; Lucrezia, the Borgia as shockingly immoral as she was beautiful. These have long been stock figures in the dark chronicle of European villainy, their name synonymous with unspeakable evil. But did these Borgias of legend actually exist? Grounding his narrative in exhaustive research and drawing from rarely examined key sources, Meyer brings fascinating new insight to the real people within the age-encrusted myth. Equally illuminating is the light he shines on the brilliant circles in which the Borgias moved and the thrilling era they helped to shape, a time of wars and political convulsions that reverberate to the present day, when Western civilization simultaneously wallowed in appalling brutality an ungekürzt.

The Civil War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 320min
This volume is a two-part history of the Civil War.Part IFrom 1861 to 1865 America was caught in the convulsions of war—the Civil War. No historical event, short of the American Revolution itself, has so deeply affected the United States.The Civil War is often called the War between the States by Southern historians, aptly illustrating the political question underpinning the war: Was the United States one nation, or were the United States a group of sovereign entities that could choose to disassociate?Both sides honored the same constitution, spoke the same language, and worshipped the same God. But the two could not agree on whether America was a union or a compact of states.Part IIWith the advent of war, the Confederate States of America faced serious problems. The Confederate population was 9.1 million compared to the Union’s 19.1 million. The South controlled only one quarter of America’s wealth. Its railroad mileage was only half that of the Union, and its navy was badly outnumbered. But the South was fighting a defensive war on its own soil, and military theorists agree that such a war requires a three-to-one superiority for an aggressor to win. Many believed the South could prevail.Nevertheless, on April 9, 1865, General Lee surrendered what remained of his army. But what had the North won?The United States of America was now one nation under God. But that nation was crippled by the economic costs of the war—wholesale destruction, inflation, poverty. The political costs were no less. Abraham Lincoln had been assassinated; Southern leaders were in jail; the federal government had swollen in size and power. Northern politicians then began to “reconstruct” the South, building state governments that would be loyal to the union. But the conquered South simmered with resentments that could not be legislated out of existence.Jeffrey Rogers Hummel is the author of Emancipating Slaves, Enslaving Free Me ungekürzt.

Pure
Every rare once in a while, we're graciously granted access through the veiled threshold that leads directly to what can only be described as "Love's Secret Domain!" Whether we simply stumbled through this once in a lifetime, mysterious portal by pure chance or were raucously recruited into it's rotationally resplendent realm, "Pure," the current awe inspiring CD just released by SoCal's very own trend setting, mind blowing, perception expanding "Love's Secret Domain," is most certainly is "a trip!" Much like previous, mythic journeys "through the looking glass" and "down the rabbit hole," LSD's "PURE" is an amazing, "audio-sensual" trek that most definitely defies distinct description. This album really delivers, seductively drawing you deeper and deeper into it's mystical meanderings of surrealistic, symbiotic sound strands, simultaneously spinning and spanning the final frontier and recalibrating the connective tissues of our culture's collective consciousness. This 4 song, "Special Limited Edition" CD, with only 1,000 units being released and then it's "Gone Forever," is truly tough to stylistically "pigeon-hole," sounding at times like the very best of everything that you've ever heard in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s and well beyond. Recorded digitally and then mastered in analogue on tape, this "Collectors Edition" includes fascinating renditions of popular, publicly acclaimed tunes such as: Like A Supernova, S N' M, Dead End ( hey ... am I sensing a LSD "Title-Trend" here?) and of course, the perennial crowd pleaser, "No Substitute." Those sorry souls who have valiantly tried to clarify and classify the music, have been heard to mutter terminology like "Psychedelic, Post-Punk, Power Pop" and "Eclectically Edgy, Erotic Electronica," ... before going into massive convulsions, passing out and sinking somatically into a coma. Basically, this is a multi-dimensional, textural tapestry of sound, undulating, with "Borg-like" intensity, with a balanced, high impact "hybrid blend" of "oscillating, organics" and "existential electronics" pulsating with passionate, photosynthetic pleasure! Your ears are in for a real "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride" as this project, recorded almost exclusively in "Logic" and produced by "Mix Master" Josh Pu'u, craftily throws everything from "Kaoss Pads" and "Ebows," to slide guitars and layered music and vocal tracks that metamorphose and transcend into an audibly addictive, "rhythmic hypnotica!"- Shop: odax
