    Defeating ISIS: Who They Are, How They Fight, What They Believe , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 849min
    ISIS - the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria - has taken on the mantle of being the single most dangerous terrorist threat to global security since al-Qaeda. In Defeating ISIS, internationally renowned intelligence veteran, author, and counterterrorism expert Malcolm Nance gives an insider's view to explain the origins of this occult group, its violent propaganda, and how it spreads its ideology throughout the Middle East and to disaffected youth deep in the heart of the Western world. Most importantly, Defeating ISIS gives a step-by-step analysis of the street-level tactics the group has employed in assaults against fortified targets, in urban combat, and during terrorist operations such as those in Paris during the November 13 attacks. As much as ISIS is a threat to Western targets and regional stability in the Middle East, Nance describes not only its true danger as a heretical death cult that seeks to wrest control of Islam through young ideologues and redefine Islam as a fight to the death against all comers, but also how to defeat it. Defeating ISIS is the first highly detailed look into the organization by one of the world's foremost authorities in counterterrorism. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Kramer.

    Guardian of Night , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 731min
    For alien Commander Arid Ricimer, there was no going home. His species was winning the war with Earth, but the civilization he had fought for was gone, destroyed from within by ideologues and bureaucrats. So he does the only thing that makes sense to a person of integrity—he attempts to defect to Earth with his officers and an entire spaceship, a vessel that mounts a superweapon of almost unimaginable power. Hot on his heels is his former fleet, a force that has already devastated Earth once, and is poised to wipe humanity from existence forever, ready to do almost anything to deny Earth a chance.To the defenders of Earth he is an enigma—and potentially a Trojan horse. Yet after years of battling back from the brink of destruction, the U.S. space navy has the war-tested heroes to rise to the challenge Ricimer represents—and the danger that follows him—if only those in charge will listen. The players are in motion and the greatest confrontation this sector of the galaxy has ever witnessed is at hand. Now all depends on the courage of an honorable alien warrior and the intelligence and daring of his human allies. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Victor Bevine.

    The Fandom Menace Volume One - A Fandom Betrayed : The Fandom Menace Volumes, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 231min
    In what could be considered a consumer backlash of truly epic proportions, The Fandom Menace has become a beacon to those who want to pursue escapist entertainments without harassment, assault, coercion, or shame. The rise of the truly "toxic" fan in community circles has come. The Fandom Menace is the push-back to that toxicity. The selfish, self-serving, anti-social authoritarians want to control what we see, how we see it, how we feel about it and what we are allowed to say about it. The Fandom Menace are the consumers. They are global. They reflect the reality in our world and of our times in a reaction to "cancel culture'", "outrage culture", and "social justice" mobs roaming unchecked through our cultural landscapes. This community is not political. They want politics out of their entertainment and they want the ideologues who have been given the keys to these vast kingdoms cast out into the wilderness where such socially dangerous aberrations belong. To the dustbin of history with these masked bigots of false virtue. The Fandom Menace is the mainstream. The Fandom Menace are the voice of real people everywhere from every walk of life. We will not be silenced. We do not negotiate with social terrorists. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robb Gallo of YouTube Channel Midnight's Edge.

    The Repeater Book of Heroism
    In these impactful first-person essays, a selection of Repeater authors come together to write about what heroism means to them, trying to imagine a new kind of hero figure for the twenty-first century. "I don't have any heroes, they're all useless", opined John Lydon in 1976. As a spokesperson of sorts for the punk generation, Lydon was giving voice to a nihilistic, deconstructive impulse which, for better or worse, would go on to dominate the next half-century or so of intellectual, cultural and political life. But isn't one of the problems with the modern world that we no longer have any real sense of what heroism is? What if we recovered heroism from the hands of the fascists and the neoliberal ideologues, and proclaimed that - despite everything - a hero can and should be something to be? In these personal, provocative essays, the authors behind the uncompromising project that is Repeater Books come together to redefine the idea of the hero for a twenty-first-century public which desperately needs something to believe in. From Eric Cantona to Wile E Coyote, Bruno Latour to Paula Rego, forgotten legends and anonymous family members, this compendium of extraordinary human behaviour is essential reading for anyone who has ever thought that, despite what Jean-Paul Sartre said, heaven is other people.

    “They’ve hijacked words and then try to use them against us. But we’re gonna take ’em back." (Sam Sorbo)In Words for Warriors, with her trademark wit and intelligence, Sam Sorbo shows exactly how radical left-wingers have manipulated language to fit their own socialistic and anti-freedom agenda. Sam Sorbo is on a mission to reclaim today’s hot button/culture war words for all freedom-loving Americans.After hearing all the hatred spewing from ideologues, mainstream media, social justice warriors, and political hacks, Sam Sorbo was fed up: “I’m tired of their games, so I’m calling BS on them. It’s time to set the record straight, especially for the folks who are just trying to enjoy the lives the Lord gave them and want a few things explained in easy-to-understand prose.”Arranged in an accessible “A-Z” glossary style, listeners can dip in to discover the real meanings behind the acronyms, words, and phrases that the toxic liberal left loves to force on the rest of us.From Ad hominem, antifa, and anarchyTo woke, wonk, and zeitgeistMixed with the newly-coined concepts like covidiot, pizzagate, and TERFWords for Warriors is a treasure trove of linguistic gymnastics the Democrats and other toxic lefties employ to further their anti-American agenda. Arm yourself with Words for Warriors, and fight back against political correctness that squashes real debate, free speech, and prosperity. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sam Sorbo.

    Infocrats: A Political Thriller , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 483min
    Are you appalled with the way politicians are dividing Americans? Forcing them to choose between Liberal or Conservative? Red or Blue? Left or Right?  What if we had another choice?  JJ Smith, the reluctant hero of the Infocrat party, fights for her life on the debate stage and on the run, battling to keep the Infocrat’s political movement alive. Presidential candidates Senator Freeman of the Democratic Liberal Socialists and General Harrison of the Republican National Conservatives conspire to annihilate JJ Smith and her passionate supporters. Merisol Bechase, Director of Homeland Security, is enlisted by the Republicans and Democrats. He is a willing participant knowing the collusion will further his ambitions. Christine Goodman’s few remaining relationships have been destroyed by strife and bickering over rhetoric the liberal and conservative media ruthlessly promote. Naval Master at Arms, Michael Macrae, must choose between loyalty to his ultra-conservative family and carrying out his sworn duty. Maria Santana, a Mexican immigrant, struggles to balance her subservience and her free will, terrified of the consequences if she makes the wrong choices. The characters’ lives collide unexpectedly, resulting in a cascade of unimaginable tragic events. Only in these travesties will the ugly truths about the Republican and Democrat duopoly be unveiled. “The politics of ideology create bonds that are infinitely stronger than the politics of policy. Don’t let Republicans or Democrats fleece you into becoming another one of their ideologues. Be an individual. Think for yourself.” (JJ Smith ) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kathleen A.

    For Discrimination: Race, Affirmative Action, and the Law , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 553min
    In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision regarding Fisher v. University of Texas, For Discrimination is at once the definitive reckoning with one of America’s most explosively contentious and divisive issues and a principled work of advocacy for clearly defined justice. What, precisely, is affirmative action, and why is it fiercely championed by some and just as fiercely denounced by others? Does it signify a boon or a stigma? Or is it simply reverse discrimination? What are its benefits and costs to American society? What are the exact indicia determining who should or should not be accorded affirmative action? When should affirmative action end, if it must? Randall Kennedy, Harvard Law School professor and author of such critically acclaimed and provocative books as Race, Crime, and the Law and the national best seller Nigger: The Strange Career of a Troublesome Word, gives us a concise, gimlet-eyed, and deeply personal conspectus of the policy, refusing to shy away from the myriad complexities of an issue that continues to bedevil American race relations. With pellucid reasoning, Kennedy accounts for the slipperiness of the term affirmative action as it has been appropriated by ideologues of every stripe; delves into the complex and surprising legal history of the policy; coolly analyzes key arguments pro and con advanced by the left and right, including the so-called color-blind, race-neutral challenge; critiques the impact of Supreme Court decisions on higher education; and ponders the future of affirmative action. ungekürzt.

    The Grouchy Historian: An Old-Time Lefty Defends Our Constitution Against Right-Wing Hypocrites and Nutjobs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 509min
    In the tradition of Al Franken and Michael Moore, Ed Asner - aka Lou Grant from The Mary Tyler Moore Show - reclaims the Constitution from the right-wingers who think that they and only they know how to interpret it. Ed Asner, a self-proclaimed dauntless Democrat from the old days, figured that if the right-wing wackos are wrong about voter fraud, Obama's death panels, and climate change, they are probably just as wrong about what the Constitution says. There's no way that 200-plus years later, the right-wing ideologues know how to interpret the Constitution. On their way home from Philadelphia, the people who wrote it couldn't agree on what it meant. What was the president's job? Who knew? All they knew was that the president was going to be George Washington, and as long as he was in charge, that was good enough. When Hamilton wanted to start a national bank, Madison told him that it was unconstitutional. Both men had been in the room when the Constitution was written. And now today there are politicians and judges who claim that they know the original meaning of the Constitution. Are you kidding? In The Grouchy Historian, Ed Asner leads the charge for liberals to reclaim the Constitution from the right-wingers who use it as their justification for doing whatever terrible thing they want to do, which is usually to comfort the comfortable and afflict the afflicted. It's about time someone gave them hell and explained that Progressives can read, too. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ed Asner.

    Dangerous Minds: Nietzsche, Heidegger, and the Return of the Far Right , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 231min
    Following the fall of the Berlin Wall and demise of the Soviet Union, prominent Western thinkers began to suggest that liberal democracy had triumphed decisively on the world stage. Having banished fascism in World War II, liberalism had now buried communism, and the result would be an end of major ideological conflicts, as liberal norms and institutions spread to every corner of the globe. With the Brexit vote in Great Britain, the resurgence of right-wing populist parties across the European continent, and the surprising ascent of Donald Trump to the American presidency, such hopes have begun to seem hopelessly naïve. The far right is back, and serious rethinking is in order.In Dangerous Minds, Ronald Beiner traces the deepest philosophical roots of such right-wing ideologues as Richard Spencer, Aleksandr Dugin, and Steve Bannon to the writings of Nietzsche and Heidegger - and specifically to the aspects of their thought that express revulsion for the liberal-democratic view of life. Beiner contends that Nietzsche's hatred and critique of bourgeois, egalitarian societies has engendered new disciples on the populist right who threaten to overturn the modern liberal consensus.The book is published by University of Pennsylvania Press."Staggeringly impressive and deeply needed...elegantly structured and beautifully written. It will be widely read and debated in this frightening age of fascist resurgence." (John P. McCormick, University of Chicago)"This is a great book. If it proves anything, it's that ideas have consequences, often profound and dangerous ones." (Steven Smith, Yale University) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kevin Moriarty.

    Ball of Collusion: The Plot to Rig an Election and Destroy a Presidency , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1009min
    The real collusion in the 2016 election was not between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin. It was between the Clinton campaign and the Obama administration.The media-Democrat “collusion narrative”, which paints Donald Trump as cat’s paw of Russia, is a studiously crafted illusion.Despite Clinton’s commanding lead in the polls, hyper-partisan intelligence officials decided they needed an “insurance policy” against a Trump presidency. Thus was born the collusion narrative, built on an anonymously sourced “dossier”, secretly underwritten by the Clinton campaign and compiled by a former British spy. Though acknowledged to be “salacious and unverified” at the FBI’s highest level, the dossier was used to build a counterintelligence investigation against Trump’s campaign.Miraculously, Trump won anyway. But his political opponents refused to accept the voters’ decision. Their collusion narrative was now peddled relentlessly by political operatives, intelligence agents, Justice Department officials, and media ideologues - the vanguard of the “Trump Resistance”. Through secret surveillance, high-level intelligence leaking, and tireless news coverage, the public was led to believe that Trump conspired with Russia to steal the election.Not one to sit passively through an onslaught, President Trump fought back in his tumultuous way. Matters came to a head when he fired his FBI director, who had given explosive House testimony suggesting the president was a criminal suspect, despite privately assuring Trump otherwise. The resulting firestorm of partisan protest cowed the Justice Department to appoint a special counsel, whose seemingly limitless investigation bedeviled the administration for two years.Yet as months passed, concrete evidence of collusion failed to materialize. Was the collusion narrative an elaborate fraud? And if so, choreographed by whom? Against media-Democrat caterwauling, a doughty group of lawmakers forced a shift ungekürzt. Language: English.
