Gangster Government: Barack Obama and the New Washington Thugocracy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 550min
Bribery… coercion… intimidation. Sounds like a movie review of The Godfather, but unfortunately we’re talking about your federal government. So says best-selling author David Freddoso. In his new book, Gangster Government: Barack Obama and the New Washington Thugocracy, Freddoso exposes how the Obama administration bears a closer resemblance to the mob than to a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Laying bare the backdoor deals, threats, and pay-to-play schemes Obama uses to push his policies on unsuspecting voters, Gangster Government proves that Obama is more concerned with protecting his friends and punishing his enemies than doing right by the American public. In this shocking new book, Freddoso reveals: who really benefited from the auto industry bailout and the stimulus package (it wasn’t the car companies or the American people); how Obama and his EPA cronies are setting up a protection racket to control fossil fuels; why trial lawyers will benefit from Obamacare more than anyone else; and much more. Controversial and compelling, Gangster Government reveals an administration that is so corrupt, it would make Al Capone blush. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mike Chamberlain.

Hostile Takeover: Resisting Centralized Government's Stranglehold on America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 731min
Hostile Takeover is a rebellious challenge to the "upper management" of government, who are choking American prosperity and liberty. The American enterprise grew exceptional based on the founding principles of individual freedom, decentralized knowledge, and accountable, constitutionally limited government. But our "leaders" from Washington, D.C., have systematically replaced the dispersed genius of America with top-down dictates and expensive schemes designed to expand the power of insiders and protect the privileged positions of politicians, bureaucrats, and their cronies. Freedom, not centralization. "Decentralized freedom" has become the strategy that will return America to its founding values, breaking up centralized government's monopoly on power and returning it to where it belongs: with We the People. Senior management has failed us. It's time to clean house. In Hostile Takeover, best-selling author Matt Kibbe exposes the privileged collusion of Washington insiders - and maps out a proven plan for how to return power from the self-appointed "experts" back to the people. Dubbed "one of the Tea Party's masterminds" by Newsweek, Kibbe reveals how grassroots citizens can and will check the federal behemoth and restore the American enterprise to its founding principles. ungekürzt.

Once again, Nandia and Bernard find themselves facing another Galactic Grand Council mission beset with uncertainty and danger. The monarch of planet Aesir, King Sabre, is fouling his own nest. Inflation veers out of control, poverty levels are growing like topsy and corporations relocating off-world. The monarch, tipsy at the best of times, has installed incompetent cronies to key government positions. Reports are that Sabre vehemently blames a former, now renegade, Council delegate for the precipitous decline in his planet's economy. And, rather than accept responsibility for his own misdeeds, the King condemns the delegate for widespread rumors that he is becoming unhinged. Figuring in the list of The King's woes include a palace haunting by the shade of his own father, plus blood alcohol levels that exceed manufacturer's specifications. Nandia and Bearns arrive as Aesir's merchant starships are being plucked out of the sky by hyper-drive privateers. A tyrannical warlord from a distant desert planet has commissioned the vessels to buoy up his own failing economy. Is this the beginning of an organized coup d'état? With the help of an immortal chambermaid and a teleporting cat, our two Council delegates must unravel this mess before King Sabre, and the planet Aesir itself, self-destruct. ungekürzt.

The Devil Inside the Beltway: The Shocking Expose of the US Government's Surveillance and Overreach Into Cybersecurity, Medicine and Small Business , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 928min
Small business owner Michael J. Daugherty is fighting back against US Government's sinister surveillance tactics in his audiobook, The Devil Inside the Beltway: The Shocking Expose of the US Government's Surveillance and Overreach into Cybersecurity, Medicine, and Small Business. During the past decade the US Government has teamed with private enterprise and academia to attack American small business by surveilling networks and picking up Americans' files they considered to be "shared" and "vulnerable." They used that information to expand and grow more than one government agency. Michael J. Daugherty, the small business owner who created LabMD, a cancer detection center in Atlanta, Georgia, became a victim of these governmental practices. What began with the unauthorized but government-funded procurement of medical data for 9000+ patients from his medical laboratory turned into a government supported, financially draining, extortion attempt. Taking you inside his five-year journey of government power grabs and intimidation tactics, Daugherty backs his riveting true story with engaging detail, including Congressional testimony, press releases, e-mails, letters and FOIA documents. But for the fact that everything in the audiobook really happened, it's like a brilliant political thriller. The cronies, lawyers, politicians and bullies...they are all right here in this stinging indictment. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Clay Teunis.
