Title: Facing Reality: Two Truths about Race in America Author: Charles Murray Narrator: Robert Rivington Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 38 minutes Release date: July 6, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Two known facts, long since documented beyond reasonable doubt, need to be brought into the open and incorporated into the way we think about public policy: American whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians have different violent crime rates and different means and distributions of cognitive ability. The allegations of racism in policing, college admissions, segregation in housing, and hiring and promotions in the workplace ignore the ways in which the problems that prompt the allegations of systemic racism are driven by these two realities. What good can come of bringing them into the open? America’s most precious ideal is what used to be known as the American Creed: people are not to be judged by where they came from, what social class they come from, or by race, color, or creed. They must be judged as individuals. The prevailing progressive ideology repudiates that ideal, demanding instead that the state should judge people by their race, social origins, religion, sex, and sexual orientation. We on the center left and center right who are the American Creed’s natural defenders have painted ourselves into a corner. We have been unwilling to say openly that different groups have significant group differences. Since we have not been willing to say that, we have been left defenseless against the claims that racism is to blame. What else could it be? We have been afraid to answer. We must. Facing Reality is a step in that direction.

Johns. Narrator: Douglas Harvey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 34 minutes Release date: June 27, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The Code of Hammurabi is a codification of the laws enacted by Hammurabi, the king of Babylonia and is one of mankind’s oldest known writings. It was inscribed on a stone stele, or monument, in approximately 1754 B. C. and was discovered by archeologists in 1901. The code was inscribed using cuneiform script in the Akkadian languages into a diorite stele that stands 7.4 feet tall. A small portion of the code is considered missing. Famous for the concept of “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth” the code itself consists of 282 laws. Criminal offenses are described in detail with associated physical punishments that are quite harsh and vary according to gender and social and economic status. It was one of the first code of law to emphasize physical punishment of the perpetrator as well as among the first to establish a presumption of innocence. Previous codes had focused on compensation to victims. Nearly half the code addresses contract issues such as prices for services and liabilities for damages or non-performance. About a third of the code consists of matters relating to household and family relationships such as marriage, divorce, paternity, inheritance, and reproduction. Several pertain to military service. Only one pertains to judicial conduct. The monument is on display in the Louvre in Paris; replicas are displayed in numerous institutions throughout the world.

Title: UFOs and the Deep State: A History of the Military and Shadow Government’s War against the Truth; 50 Years of Disinformation, Saboteurs, Intimidation, and Cover-ups Author: Kevin D. Randle Narrator: David Marantz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 36 minutes Release date: May 1, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A deep dive into UFO cover-ups by the deep state. A wake-up call to what has and is being hidden. The deep state exists without a doubt, and it has perpetrated a consistent mission to hide, obscure, and delete information as it pertains to UFOs and alien interactions. Should unelected officials be making the decisions on disclosure? Has a secret space program been developing technologies not of this world for decades? What have the US Air Force and other agencies been hiding? This and more is explored in UFOs and the Deep State. UFOs and the Deep State will touch upon: Air Force Office of Special Investigations and interviews with UFO witnesses; The CIA-sponsored Robertson Panel to suppress UFO research and the campaign to move Project Blue Book from the Advanced Technical Intelligence Center to Air Force Public Affairs; Exclusive interviews with Paul Bennewitz and the military personnel involved in the Rendlesham Forest UFO incident; Project Moon Dust, run by the Air Force and Department of State; and An examination of the Secret Space Program and other black projects. Author Kevin D. Randle connects the dots at last to reveal the overlooked, including how the deep state conducted interrogations that involved chemicals and other mind-altering techniques. The evidence is clear. The unelected officials in the deep state have been obscuring UFO incidents and intimidating those who wish to speak out. Let the truth rein free!

Title: Transition to Common Work: Building Community at The Working Centre Author: Joe Mancini Narrator: Graham Yeates Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 47 minutes Release date: April 15, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The Working Centre in the downtown core of Kitchener, Ontario, is a widely recognized and successful model for community development. Begun from scratch in 1982, it is now a vast network of practical supports for the unemployed, the underemployed, the temporarily employed, and the homeless, populations that collectively constitute up to 30 percent of the labour market both locally and across North America. Transition to Common Work is the essential text about The Working Centre-its beginnings thirty years ago, the lessons learned, and the myriad ways in which its strategies and innovations can be adapted by those who share its goals. The Working Centre focuses on creating access-to-tools projects rather than administrative layers of bureaucracy. This book highlights the core philosophy behind the centre's decentralized but integrated structure, which has contributed to the creation of affordable services. Underlying this approach are common-sense innovations such as thinking about virtues rather than values, developing community tools with a social enterprise approach, and implementing a radically equal salary policy. For social workers, activists, bureaucrats, and engaged citizens in third-sector organizations (NGOs, charities, not-for-profits, co-operatives), this practical and inspiring book provides a method for moving beyond the doldrums of "poverty relief" into the exciting world of community building.

Neben dem Porträt sehr unterschiedlicher Charaktere der linken Szene – von Michael Moore bis zu Naomi Klein – befasst er sich mit Fragen nach politischen Alternativen und untersucht, warum man heute mit rebellischen Äußerungen darauf gefasst sein muss, womöglich einen neuen Trend zu starten. -

Title: [German] - Rente ohne Roulette: Wie Du Deine Altersvorsorge nicht aufs Spiel setzt Author: Anette Weiß Narrator: Anette Weiß Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 31 minutes Release date: December 19, 2020 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Fachbücher über Finanzen gibt es genug. Mindset-Ratgeber über Deine Beziehung zu Geld gibt es genug. Romane, in denen der Gewinn die Hauptrolle spielt, gibt es genug. Mathematikbücher gibt es genug. Das Buch, das all das vereint und dort beginnt, wo wir alle stehen - nämlich mitten im Leben - gibt es noch nicht. Bis jetzt. Altersarmut, leere Rentenkassen, Finanzkrise und Falschberatung sind hausgemachte - und unterm Strich gesellschaftliche - Probleme, deren Lösung für jeden einzelnen nicht darin liegen kann, darauf zu hoffen, dass der Sozialstaat es richten wird. Am Ende können wir uns selbst und das große Ganze nur retten, wenn jeder für sich selbst schaut, sich für seine Rentenzeit sicher aufzustellen. Die etablierte Finanzbranche ist dabei allerdings keine große Hilfe: Hier geht es nur ums Verkaufen, um Provisionen und Gewinnmaximierung. Es hilft also nichts: um Dich gut und sicher in Deinem eigenen Finanzleben einzurichten und souverän für Deine Zukunft zu sorgen, darfst Du Dich nicht (nur) auf die Beratung von Finanzprofis verlassen, Du musst selbst Deinen Weg festlegen. Wie man so etwas macht, haben wir aber alle nicht gelernt: Weder in der Schule, noch in der Ausbildung oder dem Studium wurde uns 'Finanzbildung' beigebracht. Dieses Buch ändert das. Auf humorvolle, herzliche und unterhaltsame Weise bringt Dir Anette Weiß alles bei, was Du wissen musst, um Deinen eigenen finanziellen Lebensplan aufzustellen.Dieses Buch vermittelt Dir, was vor jedem Altersvorsorgegespräch, jeder Finanzberatung und jedem Vermögensaufbau stehen sollte: Hier lernst Du, die finanziellen Grundlagen deines Lebens und Deiner Zukunft zu berechnen. Du lernst, was Inflation für Dich bedeutet, wie Du Deine gesetzliche Rentenversicherung bewerten kannst, was Deine Rentenversicherungen wert sind und wie du Lösungen für Deine finanziellen Probleme findest.
