Subtitle: How Members of Congress Have Cashed in on Their Jobs Author: David S. Fallis, Scott Higham, Dan Keating, Kimberly Kindy, The Washington Post Narrator: Eric Martin Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 01-13-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Have lawmakers helped themselves while helping the country? After the nation's financial crisis led Congress to unprecedented economic intervention, The Washington Post began an investigation that pierced the secrecy of the deeply flawed financial disclosure system that governs the 535 men and women who draft the nation's laws. Members of Congress directed millions of dollars to infrastructure projects near their residences and businesses, in some cases paving roads in front of their houses. They made major trades in the stocks of companies pressing them for legislation. They wrote laws favoring industries in which they were invested. They sponsored bills on which their own family members were paid to lobby. All of it is legal under the rules Congress has written for itself. Democracy Inc. shows the consequences of this system.

Title: Obama Subtitle: The Evolution of a President Author: The Washington Post Narrator: Chris Sorensen Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 01-13-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Barack Obama arrived in Washington in 2008 symbolizing the political change he promised on the campaign trail during his historic presidential victory. But in many ways, Washington changed Obama more than Obama changed Washington. This is the story of how the idealist of the 2008 campaign evolved into a hard-nosed pragmatist, shelving his promise of a new kind of politics to fight increasingly partisan budget battles and run a bare-knuckles re-election campaign. Through a series of articles and photographs published by The Washington Post, this audiobook outlines the change in his political personality during his four years in office, and describes his engagement with some of the most challenging issues he confronted during his time in office - and what his approach may mean for a second term should he win in November.

Title: The Rise of the American Corporate Security State Subtitle: Six Reasons to Be Afraid Author: Beatrice Edwards Narrator: Suzanne Toren Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 10-29-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: In the United States today we have good reasons to be afraid. Our Bill of Rights is no more. It has been rendered pointless by heavy surveillance of average citizens, political persecution of dissenters, and the potential of indefinite detention now codified into law. Our democracy and freedoms are impaired daily by government control of information, systemic financial corruption, unfettered corporate influence in our elections, and by corporate-controlled international institutions. The Constitution of The United States that has shielded us for more than 200 years from the tentacles of oppressive government and the stranglehold of private wealth becomes more meaningless with each new act of corporate-ocracy. Behind a thinning veneer of democracy, the Corporate Security State is tipping the balance between the self-interest of a governing corporate elite and the rights of the people to freedom, safety and fairness. The consequences of these trends and conditions are devastating. We are submerged in endless war, and the wealth produced by and in the United States skews upward in greater concentrations every year. The middle class is under financial attack, as Washington prepares to loot Social Security and Medicare to finance the insatiable war-making and profit-taking. Repression descends on a people slowly at first, but then crushes quickly, silencing dissent. According to the author of The Rise of the American Corporate Security State, Beatrice Edwards, our task now is to recognize the real reasons to be afraid in 21st century America, and address them. Our early steps in the right direction may be small ones, but they are important. They are based on the principle that we, as Americans, have a right to know what our government is doing and to speak openly about it. Creeping censorship, secret courts, clandestine corporate control are all anathema to democratic practices and must be corrected now, before this last chance to redeem our rights is lost.

Sein faschistoides Gedankengut allerdings reicht viel weiter zurück - es ist bereits im Ur-Islam angelegt. Hamed Abdel-Samad schlägt in seiner Analyse einen Bogen von den Ursprüngen des Islam bis hin zur Gegenwart. Die Grundzüge des Faschismus scheinen überall durch; in der Organisationsstruktur ebenso wie in der Religion, die stets über dem Menschen steht. Ein wichtiges Hörbuch, dessen Thesen Hamed Abdel-Samad eine Todes-Fatwa einbrachten. Allein das entlarvt den Islamismus. ©2014 Droemer HC Verlag (P)2014 ABOD Verlag

Title: The Trigger Author: Tim Butcher Narrator: Tim Butcher Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 07-03-14 Publisher: Whole Story Audio Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: On a summer morning in Sarajevo a hundred years ago, a teenage assassin fired not just the opening shots of the First World War but the starting gun for modern history. By killing Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Gavrilo Princip triggered conflict that would claim millions of lives in battle, and turmoil that would change our world. Tim Butcher uncovers the unreported details of Princips life and draws on his own experience, as a war reporter in the Balkans in the 1990s, to face down ghosts of conflicts past and present. The Trigger is a rich and timely work that brings to life both the moment the world first went to war and an extraordinary region with a potent hold over history. Critic Reviews: "An exploration of the life of the teenager who killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and so triggered the First World War" "A remarkable, fascinating book by a courageous and perceptive writer" (Alexander McCall Smith) on (Blood River) "Quite superb a masterpiece" (John Le Carre)
