Title: The Number of the Beast Author: Raphael Terra Narrator: Synthetic Voice (tts) Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 46 minutes Release date: August 29, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). For centuries men have been plotting to bring about a New World Order. From seemingly diverse backgrounds, religions, cultures and even politics, they come together behind the scenes to enact their plan. It was predicted many years ago and has been ongoing. Along the way thousands have built vast fortunes, families become entrenched as the power brokers and authority placed into the hands of a few. Throughout time they have followed a cleverly laid out plan that was written down in code, cipher and symbolism thousands of years ago. In this book we will examine their special language in-order to uncover the truth. From the special names to the special numbers, a secret lies hidden and waiting. We will reveal the significance of the number of the beast, 666. We will see the truth behind their religious symbols such as the cross and tree and through these see the beast for what it truly is. We will know the one that shall follow. The one they call the anti-Christ, and we shall be amazed. Never in the history of mankind, until now, was it possible to deliver this beast upon the earth. The New World Order is ready and it's new messiah about to be revealed.

Title: Rocking in the Free World: Popular Music and the Politics of Freedom in Postwar America Author: Nicholas Tochka Narrator: Derek Dysart Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 36 minutes Release date: August 22, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Progressive and libertarian, anti-Communist and revolutionary, Democratic and Republican, quintessentially American but simultaneously universal. By the late 1980s, rock music had acquired a dizzying array of political labels. These claims about its political significance shared one common thread: that the music could set you free. Rocking in the Free World explains how Americans came to believe they had learned the truth about rock 'n' roll, a truth shaped by the Cold War anxieties of the fifties, the countercultural revolutions (and counter-revolutions) of the sixties and seventies, and the end-of-history triumphalism of the eighties. How did rock 'n' roll become enmeshed with so many different competing ideas about freedom? And what does that story reveal about the promise-and the limits-of rock music as a political force in postwar America?

Title: Spies and Lies: How China's Greatest Covert Operations Fooled the World Author: Alex Joske Narrator: James Daniel Burkdoll Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 6 minutes Release date: August 22, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Spies and Lies a groundbreaking exposé of elite influence operations by China's little-known Ministry of State Security. Revealing for the first time how the Chinese Communist Party has tasked its spies to deceive the world, it challenges the conventional account of China's past, present, and future. Mere years ago, Western governments chose to cooperate with China in the hope that it would liberalize, setting aside concerns about human rights abuses, totalitarian ambitions, and espionage. But the axiom of China's 'peaceful rise' has been fundamentally challenged by the Chinese Communist Party's authoritarian behavior under Xi Jinping. How did we get it wrong for so long? Spies and Lies pierces the Ministry of State Security's walls of secrecy and reveals how agents of the Chinese Communist Party have spent decades manipulating the West's attitudes—from an Australian prime minister to the US Congress, prominent think tanks, and the FBI—about China's rise. Through interviews with defectors and intelligence officers, classified Chinese intelligence documents, and original investigations, the book unmasks dozens of active Chinese intelligence officers along with global MSS fronts, including travel agencies, writers' associations, publishing houses, alumni associations, newspapers, a Buddhist temple, a record company, and charities.

Wells Narrator: Oliver Rohloff Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 57 minutes Release date: August 22, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Die Neue Weltordnung ist im politischen Betrieb ein mittlerweile oft benutztes Schlagwort. Es steht für Konzepte, international eine einheitliche Friedens- und Rechtsordnung durch ein System der kollektiven Sicherheit und Kontrolle zu etablieren. Vordenker gibt es einige. Einer der bekanntesten dürfte jedoch H.G. Wells (1866-1946) sein. Ein britischer Autor, der für seine science-fiction-Romane wie 'Krieg der Welten' (1897), 'Die Zeitmaschine' (1895) oder 'The First Men in the Moon' (1901) zu Weltruhm gelangte. Obwohl seine Romane durchaus noch populär sind, verfasste er darüber hinaus eine Unmenge an Sachbüchern, die sich mit tagesaktuellen Themen befassten. Ein großes Anliegen waren ihm die Verbesserung der Lebensbedingungen nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg in den kriegführenden Staaten, die in seinen Augen mit den Friedensverhandlungen von 1919 nicht etwa den Frieden sicherten, sondern nur eine Verschnaufpause zwischen den Kriegen war und das obwohl der 1920 gegründete Völkerbund eigentlich für die Errichtung des Weltfriedens ins Leben gerufen wurde. Ein stumpfes Schwert, wie Wells hier darlegt. Die seiner Meinung nach gescheiterten Bemühungen um einen ewigen Frieden und seine Verbesserungsvorschläge inkl. einem Vorschlag für eine neue Menschenrechtserklärung finden Eingang in diesem Hörbuch. Wells fordert nichts geringeres als die Vollsozialisierung der Welt und geht mit dem damals praktizierten sowjetischen Kommunismus/Sozialismus hart ins Gericht, begrüßte jedoch durchaus die kleinen und großen Maßnahmen aller kriegführenden Regierungen die seiner Meinung die Welt in Richtung Kollektivierung führten. Wenn wir wollen, so Wells, dass auf der Welt Frieden herrschen soll, dann gibt es nur ein Mittel, um diesen Zustand herbeizuführen. Es ist die Bündelung aller 'menschlichen Angelegenheiten' unter einer Regierung und die Errichtung eines Weltstaates. Auf dem Weg dorthin gilt es einige Hindernisse aus dem Weg zu räumen. Das Institut des Privateigentums muss nach seiner Auffassung z. B. strengstens überdacht werden und auch für die Jugendlichen und jungen Erwachsenen hat er Pläne, die weit über das hinaus gehen, was die meisten Regierungen willens sind, ihren jungen Bürgern aufzubürden. Geht es ihm um den Weltfrieden oder verfolgt Wells, der für einige Jahre Mitglied der Fabian Society war, ein anderes Ziel mit seinen Ideen? Ob das in den Bereich der Verschwörungstheorie gehört oder nicht, können Sie selbst entscheiden. Nutzen Sie die Gelegenheit, sich von diesem Weltordnungsentwurf zu überzeugen und urteilen Sie selbst, wieviel davon bereits umgesetzt wurde oder politisch geplant ist, umgesetzt zu werden.

Title: [German] - Maos deutscher Topagent: Wie China die Bundesrepublik eroberte Author: Bernd Ziesemer Narrator: Michael J. Diekmann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 27 minutes Release date: August 17, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Wer den Einfluss verstehen will, den China auf die deutsche Wirtschaft ausübt, muss den Namen Gerhard Ludwig Flatow kennen. Er war wohlhabender Stahldirektor und Kommunist, Abenteurer und Lobbyist, sprach fließend chinesisch und wurde in den Fünfziger und Sechziger Jahren zum wichtigsten Agenten der Chinesen in Deutschland. Dabei hat er es verstanden, völlig unbekannt zu bleiben – bis der Wirtschaftspublizist und Chinakenner Bernd Ziesemer die Fäden zusammenführte und entdeckte, dass ein Maoist und ein Industrieller ein und dieselbe Person waren. Nach jahrelanger Recherche, Auswertung von Geheimdienst- und persönlichen Dokumenten und vielen Gesprächen präsentiert Ziesemer hier die spektakuläre Geschichte einer einzigartigen Persönlichkeit, in der sich zugleich eine ganze Epoche deutsch-chinesischer Beziehungen bis heute spiegelt.

Title: Abortion: a personal story, a political choice Author: Pauline Harmange Narrator: Jennifer Smith Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 12 minutes Release date: August 15, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: From the author of I Hate Men, a personal and political reflection on abortion rights. Discussion about abortion and associated rights are often limited to either 'anti-abortion' or 'pro-choice,' the latter of which focuses on the importance of having the right to choose, rather than on what that right means for real people. In this timely essay, Pauline Harmange provides an intimate, detailed account of her abortion. Reminiscent of Annie Ernaux's Happening, Abortion is nuanced, complex, honest, and precise. Harmange gives voice to the emotions, reflections, and contradictions that someone could experience when they choose to terminate a pregnancy. At a time in which women's reproductive rights are being called into question around the world, Abortion is a clarion call, a powerful personal testimony, and a resolutely political vision: to restore power to our experiences, all our experiences, by sharing them, and to transform society for the better.

Title: Nasty Politics: The Logic of Insults, Threats, and Incitement Author: Thomas Zeitzoff Narrator: Joel Richards Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 7 minutes Release date: August 15, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A novel explanation for why politicians insult, accuse, and threaten their opponents, even though voters say they don't like it. Why do politicians engage in nasty politics? Why do they use insult, accusations, intimidation, and in rare cases violence against their domestic political opponents? In Nasty Politics, Thomas Zeitzoff answers these questions by examining this global political trend in the US, Ukraine, and Israel and looking at how key leaders such as Trump, Zelensky, and Netanyahu use it. Drawing on surveys, case studies, in-depth interviews, databases of nasty politics, and large social media datasets, Zeitzoff shows that across all three countries, the public generally doesn't like nasty politics and it increases the threat of political violence. But it can also be a way to signal toughness to voters, which is especially important in threatening times. Featuring a powerful theory of why nastiness takes hold in democratic polities, Nasty Politics highlights how it influences the kinds of politicians who run for office and deepens our understanding for why so many politicians now rely on outsized anger and withering insults for political gain.

Title: Overrun: How Joe Biden Unleashed the Greatest Border Crisis in U.S. History Author: Todd Bensman Narrator: Frank Block Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 15 minutes Release date: August 15, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The time has come to acknowledge that America is weathering the worst mass border migration event in the nation's history. Millions of foreign nationals have overrun the southern border, starting on Inauguration Day in 2021, and millions more will cross over by the end of President Joe Biden's term in 2024. This event is historic by all measures, exceeding even the storied chronicles of Ellis Island, and portends the same permanent change for the nation. Unfortunately, a fog of a fierce partisan information war obscures that it is even happening. Radical ideologues, whose ideas even the modern Democratic Party had always rejected, gained power in 2021 and, with impunity, implemented an extreme reality-divorced theology about immigration. Americans never voted for their experiment or the irrevocable consequences that immediately waylaid a surprised nation. But the American electorate has upcoming chances in the election booth to reclaim their say. This book provides what is needed now: reporting-based analysis that will lay bare this crushing ongoing emergency's causes, dimensions, and chaotic impacts so as to finally illuminate the pathway out of it. It is a true story that can be found nowhere else because it comes from the author's frontline reportage throughout the borderlands and all along the migration trails in Central America from its first days.

Title: Korea: A New History of South and North Author: Victor Cha, Ramon Pacheco Pardo Narrator: Julian Elfer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 32 minutes Release date: August 15, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A major new history of North and South Korea, from the late nineteenth century to the present day Korea has a long, riveting history—it is also a divided nation. South Korea is a vibrant democracy, the tenth largest economy, and is home to a world-renowned culture. North Korea is ruled by the most authoritarian regime in the world, a poor country in a rich region, and is best known for the cult of personality surrounding the ruling Kim family. But both Koreas share a unique common history. Victor Cha and Ramon Pacheco Pardo draw on decades of research to explore the history of modern Korea, from the late nineteenth century, Japanese occupation, and Cold War division to the present day. A small country caught amongst the world's largest powers—including China, Japan, Russia, and the United States—Korea's fate has been closely connected to its geography and the strength of its leadership and society. This comprehensive history sheds light on the evolving identities of the two Koreas, explaining the sharp differences between North and South, and prospects for unification.
