Bronze Age Mindset , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 332min
The Atlantic named this author as possibly Steve Bannon's contact in the White House (Rosie Gray, The Atlantic, Feb 10, 2017: "'Think you should speak directly to my WH cutout/cell leader,' Yarvin said in an email. 'I've never met him and don't know his identity, we just DM on Twitter. He's said to be ‘very close’ to Bannon.... Goal is to intimidate Congress with pure masculine show of youth, energy. Trump is said to know, will coordinate with powerful EOs...."); and a recent Vox article (Tara Isabella Burton, Vox, June 1, 2018) claimed he is the "text" to Jordan Peterson's "subtext" and a "distilled" form of Peterson. Distilled means purer: yes, so why not listen and understand the purer version? T. I. Burton also adds in this article that this author, Bronze Age Pervert, is a kind of priest-king to thousands on Twitter and outside and is possibly leading a spiritual reawakening. Some say that this work, found in a safe-box in the port area of Kowloon, was dictated because Bronze Age Pervert refuses to learn what he calls "the low and plebeian art of writing". It isn't known how this work was transcribed. The contents are pure dynamite. He explains that you live in ant farm. That you are observed by the lords of lies, ritually probed. Ancient man had something you have lost: confidence in his instincts and strength, knowledge in his blood. BAP shows how the Bronze Age mind-set can set you free from this iron prison and help you embark on the path of power. He talks about life, biology, hormones. He gives many examples from history, both ancient and modern. He shows the secrets of the detrimental robots, how they hide and fabricate. He helps you escape gynocracy and ascend to fresh mountain air. Praise be to the Pervert. Praise be to his teaching of peace. Be careful. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Adam Smith.

The Booster: How Ed Martin, the Fab Five and the Ballers from the Hood Exposed the Hypocrisy of a Billion-Dollar Industry , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 453min
Rolls of Hundred Dollar Bills.... Custom Jewelry.... Exquisite Gifts.... Designer Clothes.... Where did all that money come from? And where did it go? How and why did an auto-plant electrician dole out a fortune to teenage kids and their families? If you were Eddie L. Martin...if you got thrills from excellence in basketball...if you loved hanging with some of the game’s greatest young stars - you found a way. They called you Big Ed, Uncle Eddie, the man with the 50-dollar handshake...the Super Booster. You were the stylish money-man to budding superstar athletes. And more than that. You were there with a handout and a hand up for the kids from broken families who had no heat in the house, no food in the fridge. In Carl Martin’s take-no-prisoners examination of big-time college basketball and the money machine it has become, he peels back the veneer. Now for the first time the soft underbelly of big-time college hoops is probed by someone who has actually been there, done that. Martin tells the full and true story of what drove his father’s obsession to open his heart and his wallet to those kids. What really happened before and after the roll-over accident that triggered an FBI investigation of the University of Michigan’s Fab Five and triggered a nationwide scandal? That question and many other mysteries are resolved in these compelling pages. The Booster goes well beyond the Fab Five fallout to lay bare the exploitation of black athletes by forces far bigger and more sinister than an over-generous booster. Author Martin exposes the double standard that bars kids from even a meager share of the billions they generate for elite college athletic programs, the NCAA, and sports apparel companies. It is a revealing and riveting story on many levels, powerfully told. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tekky Andrew-Jaja, Carl Martin, Erica Edwards, Tina McNeal O'Brien & Tim Downey.

Diagnosing Giants: Solving the Medical Mysteries of Thirteen Patients Who Changed the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 516min
Could Lincoln have lived? After John Wilkes Booth fired a low-velocity .44 caliber bullet into the back of the president's skull, Lincoln did not perish immediately. Attending doctors cleaned and probed the wound, and actually improved his breathing for a time. Today medical trauma teams help similar victims survive - including Gabby Giffords, whose injury was strikingly like Lincoln's. In Diagnosing Giants, Dr. Philip A. Mackowiak examines the historical record in detail, reconstructing Lincoln's last hours moment by moment to calculate the odds. That leads him to more questions: What if he had lived? What sort of neurological function would he have had? What kind of a Constitutional crisis would have ensued? Dr. Mackowiak, a professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, offers a gripping and authoritative account of 13 patients who took center stage in world history. The result is a new understanding of how the past unfolded, as well as a sweeping survey of the history of medicine. What was the ailment that drove Caligula mad? Why did Stonewall Jackson die after having an arm amputated, when so many other Civil War soldiers survived such operations? As with Lincoln, the author explores the full context of his subjects' lives and the impact of each case on the course of history, from Tutankhamen, Buddha, and John Paul Jones to Darwin, Lenin, and Eleanor Roosevelt. When an author illuminates the past with state-of-the-art scientific knowledge, listeners pay attention. Candice Millard's Destiny of the Republic, about the medical malpractice that killed President James A. Garfield, was a New York Times best seller. And Dr. Mackowiak's previous book, Post-Mortem: Solving History's Greatest Medical Mysteries, won the attention of periodicals as diverse as the Wall Street Journal and the New England Journal of Medicine, which pleaded for a sequel. With Diagnosing Giants, he has written one wi ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bryan Reid. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/018770/bk_adbl_018770_sample.mp3.

The Plot to Hack America: How Putin's Cyberspies and WikiLeaks Tried to Steal the 2016 Election , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 373min
In April 2016, computer technicians at the Democratic National Committee discovered that someone had accessed the organization's computer servers and conducted a theft that is best described as Watergate 2.0. In the weeks that followed, the nation's top computer security experts discovered that the cyber thieves had helped themselves to everything: sensitive documents, emails, donor information, even voice mails. Soon after, the remainder of the Democratic Party machine, the congressional campaign, the Clinton campaign, and their friends and allies in the media were also hacked. Credit card numbers, phone numbers, and contacts were stolen. In short order, the FBI found that more than 25 state election offices had their voter registration systems probed or attacked by the same hackers. Western intelligence agencies tracked the hack to Russian spy agencies and dubbed them the Cyber Bears. The media was soon flooded with the stolen information channeled through Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks. It was a massive attack on America but the Russian hacks appeared to have a singular goal - elect Donald J. Trump as president of the United States. New York Times best-selling author and career intelligence officer Malcolm Nance's fast paced real-life spy thriller takes you from Vladimir Putin's rise through the KGB from junior officer to spymaster-in-chief and spells out the story of how he performed the ultimate political manipulation - convincing Donald Trump to abandon 70 years of American foreign policy including the destruction of NATO, cheering the end of the European Union, allowing Russian domination of Eastern Europe, and destroying the existing global order with America at its lead. The Plot to Hack America is the thrilling true story of how Putin's spy agency, run by the Russian billionaire class, used the promise of power and influence to cultivate Trump as well as his closest aides, the Kremlin Crew, to beco ungekürzt.

The Himalayan Connection: UFO's and the Chandian Effect , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 37min
In July of 1978 I was doing genealogical research at Sawan Ashram in Old Delhi, India. Although I was aptly forewarned that the heat in the summer was excruciating, the 90 percent humidity and 100 degree plus temperatures overwhelmed me. My only relief from the weather came in the evenings. But even then it was slight. On the second to last day of my stay, Jean Lyotard, a noted architect from Northern California, and I decided to spend some time on the roof of the monastery. He was leaving in a few days to go back to America. I was to go northward for further research on the Radhasoami tradition. The Indic sky sparkled with stars that night and our conversation eventually turned to astronomy - the natural extension of which led to the subject of exobiology and UFOs. Jean commented, "I believe UFO's exist and that we have been visited by higher intelligences from other galaxies". Knowing first hand of Jean's intelligence and perceptive observations, I probed further, "Why do you say that?" - "Because I have seen them myself many times"! His answer was nonchalant. "What were they? Strange lights in the sky, like a luminous ball or a shooting star"? - "Yes, but more than that...I have been contacted by extraterrestrials personally". I gulped, realizing that my dinner of dal and chappatis had not yet been fully digested. "What! Come with that again"."It was in Southern France 10 years ago. I was in the countryside when I beheld them. The most beautiful being I have ever seen radiated before me and pointed to the sky. He told me to concentrate on the brilliance above. As I became attentive I was pulled up toward the light. However, the experience was so intense I hesitated and turned away. I have seen them on many occasions. The being was the most exquisite creature. His face, his eyes were...well...beyond description".I could not help thinking of several fanciful stories I had read before. Jean's account sounded too much like a headline i ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tracy Collier. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/212061/bk_acx0_212061_sample.mp3.

Are You Living or Just Existing?: How Corruption and Current World Affairs Is Damaging Human Evolution and Personal Growth (Tony Sayers, Book 1) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 281min
Do you ever look around you and just think this journey is all a little bit crazy? Why is everything laid out for us as soon as we are born to follow a certain path? Does this path even necessarily lead to fulfillment and happiness? Who runs the world, and who are the architects of this path, and why is there so much corruption at every turn? Why do we always live in a world of wars, of poverty, yet others seem to thrive? A population obsessed with artificial intelligence and technology yet seemingly disconnected from nature and what is real.Five years ago, I asked the same questions to myself: Was I living or just existing? This led me on a journey of deep research and discovery, both of the outer world around me and my own inner world. I realized a lack of understanding leads to a lack of fulfillment and purpose in life, so this audiobook is an honest assessment of hard-hitting questions about beliefs and traditions we as a species have held for eons. I also seek to answer in this audiobook many of the questions behind world affairs holding us back from evolving to anything greater. Being yourself in a society where everyone wants you to be a carbon copy can be challenging, to say the least, but through knowledge, we can break through the mental chains!I found that many problems exist because these beliefs are never explored or probed with a critical eye, and indeed, once reevaluated can potentially lead to a much deeper understanding of where and how we fit into this mad world and ultimately, to a lot more happiness. Everything in this audiobook is uncensored and from the heart and from a place of wanting a better world for everyone, both individually and collectively. It is challenging in its very nature, and it is meant to be because unless we challenge ourselves, we will never grow. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rob Bell.

Other Side of the Night: The Carpathia, the Californian and the Night the Titanic Was Lost , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 569min
After every disaster, someone has something to hide.... A few minutes before midnight on April 14, 1912, the "unsinkable" RMS Titanic, on her maiden voyage to New York, struck an iceberg. Less than three hours later she lay at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. While the world has remained fascinated by the tragedy, the most amazing drama of those fateful hours was not played out aboard the doomed liner. It took place on the decks of two other ships, one 58 miles distant from the sinking Titanic, the other barely 10 miles away. The masters of the steamships Carpathia and Californian, Captain Arthur Rostron and Captain Stanley Lord, were informed within minutes of each other that their vessels had picked up the distress signals of a sinking ship. Their actions in the hours and days that followed would become the stuff of legend, as one would choose to take his ship into dangerous waters to answer the call for help, while the other would decide that the hazard to himself and his command was too great to risk responding. After years of research, Daniel Allen Butler now tells this incredible story, moving from ship to ship on the icy waters of the North Atlantic - in real time - to recount how hundreds of people could have been rescued, but in the end only a few outside of the meager lifeboats were saved. He then looks alike at the U.S. Senate investigation in Washington, and ultimately the British Board of Trade inquiry in London, where the actions of each captain are probed, questioned, and judged, until the truth of what actually happened aboard the Titanic, the Carpathia and the Californian is revealed. Daniel Allen Butler, a maritime and military historian, is the best-selling author of "Unsinkable": The Full Story of RMS Titanic, Distant Victory: The Battle of Jutland and the Allied Triumph in the First World War, and The First Jihad: The Battle for Khartoum and the Da ungekürzt.

Abstraction in Post-War British Literature 1945-1980 (eBook, ePUB)
In a catalogue note for the 1965 exhibition 'Between Poetry and Painting' at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, the poet Edwin Morgan probed the relationship between abstraction and literature: 'Abstract painting can often satisfy, but "abstract poetry" can only exist in inverted commas'. Language may be fragmented, rearranged, or distorted, abstract in so far as it is withdrawn from a particular system of knowledge, but Morgan was of the mind that to be wholly 'disruptive' was to deprive a poem of its 'point' as an 'object of contemplation'. Whilst abstract art may have come to fulfil or or fortify an impression of post-war taste, abstraction in literature continued to be treated with suspicion. But how does this speak to the extent to which Britain's literary culture was responsive to progress compared to its artistic culture? Abstraction in Post-War British Literature 1945-1980 traces a line of literary experimentation in post-war British literature that was prompted by the aesthetic, philosophical and theoretical demands of abstraction. Spanning the period 1945 to 1980, it observes the ways in which certain aesthetic advancements initiated new forms of literary expression to posit a new genealogy of interdisciplinary practice in Britain. At a time in which Britain became conscious of its evolving identity within an increasingly globalised context, this study accounts for the range of Continental and Transatlantic influences in order to more accurately locate the networks at play. Exploring the contributions made by individuals, such as Herbert Read, Ian Hamilton Finlay and Christine Brooke- Rose, as well as by groups of practitioners. It brings a wide range of previously unexplored archival material into the public domain and offers a comprehensive account of the evolving status of abstraction across cultural, institutional, and literary contexts.- Shop: buecher
