American Spring: Lexington, Concord, and the Road to Revolution , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 824min

A new look at the American Revolution's first weeks, from the author of the best seller The Admirals. When we look back on our nation's history, the American Revolution can feel almost like a foregone conclusion. In reality, the first weeks of the war were much more tenuous, and a fractured and ragtag group of colonial militias had to coalesce to have even the slimmest chance of toppling the mighty British Army. American Spring follows a fledgling nation from Paul Revere's little-known ride of December 1774 and the first shots fired on Lexington Green through the catastrophic Battle of Bunker Hill, culminating with a Virginian named George Washington taking command of colonial forces on July 3, 1775. Focusing on the colorful heroes John Hancock, Samuel Adams, Mercy Otis Warren, Benjamin Franklin, and Patrick Henry, and the ordinary Americans caught up in the revolution, Walter Borneman tells the story of how a decade of discontent erupted into an armed rebellion that forged our nation. ungekürzt.

History of the Deep State , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 207min

Mainstream media has led us to believe that the deep state is only as old as the Obama administration. However, it has presented itself in many forms throughout our nation’s history. Both Democrat and Republican presidents alike have been involved in this 240-plus-year-old conspiracy against America. Jeremy Stone has elucidated a clear definition of the origin, evolution, objectives, and the hostile foreign intentions of the deep state. Its agenda is an anti-American one, with socialist/Enlightenment thinkers at Its core. Nefarious foreign interference of our "nation-state" has not come out of the Trump administration, as the left has fostered in its "collusion" narrative. Instead, it has been mounting for centuries as a far-leftist agenda, with the ultimate goal of toppling our country from within. Without a complete understanding of the deep state and its history, we are doomed to fail in attempting to eliminate it. While it is possible to stifle the deep state and its foreign conspiracy against "The State", we must understand what it is, a global-socialist-matrix/new world order, designed to topple governments from within. ungekürzt.

Its beauty hides a world of ancient secrets, hidden agendas, and political intrigues. In order to extract my vengeance, I must first play a dangerous game according to another’s rules.

Trust , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 522min

Gwen: When I close my eyes and manage to block out the horrors going on around me, and ignore the aches and pains on virtually every inch of my body, I can still hear the cheers of the audience as I'm lifted into the air by my teammates. For those few brief moments, as I remember toppling from the top of the pyramid, I feel like I'm flying. I'm free and nothing can hurt me. But I'm wrong. How long will it take before they stop missing me, stop looking, before I am forgotten about completely? A month? Six months? A year? I'm no longer a person. I'm a commodity. Lance: I have a plan, years in the making. It's perfect, it's foolproof. All I need is to keep myself focused on the big picture: my ultimate goal. But then she arrived. She tests my patience and my will. She angers and frustrates me, making the darkness within scream to be released. I want to ignore her, but I can't. I need to let her go, but can't seem to allow for her to be sent away. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nick Hahn.

Operation Gladio: The Unholy Alliance Between the Vatican, the CIA, and the Mafia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 717min

In this disturbing exposé, journalist Paul L. Williams describes a secret alliance forged at the close of World War II by the CIA, the Sicilian and US mafias, and the Vatican to thwart the possibility of a Communist invasion of Europe. Williams presents evidence suggesting the existence, in many European countries, of "stay-behind" units consisting of 5,000 to 15,000 military operatives. The initial funding for these guerrilla armies came from bogus British bank notes and the sale of large stocks of SS morphine that had been smuggled out of Germany and Italy. As the Cold War intensified, the units were used not only to ward off possible invaders but also to thwart the rise of left-wing movements in South America and NATO-based countries by terror attacks. Williams argues that Operation Gladio soon gave rise to the toppling of governments, wholesale genocide, the formation of death squads, financial scandals on a grand scale, the creation of the mujahideen, an international narcotics network, and, most recently, the ascendancy of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, a Jesuit cleric with strong ties to Operation Condor (an outgrowth of Gladio in Argentina) as Pope Francis I. ungekürzt.

Next: The Future Just Happened , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 359min

In Liar's Poker, the barbarians seized control of the bond markets. In The New New Thing some guys from Silicon Valley redefined the American economy. Now, with his knowing eye and wicked pen, Michael Lewis reveals how much the Internet boom has encouraged great changes in the way we live, work, and think. He finds that we are in the midst of one of the greatest status revolutions in the history of the world, and the Internet turns out to be a weapon in the hands of revolutionaries. Old priesthoods - lawyers, investment gurus, professionals in general - are toppling right and left. In the new order of things, the amateur, or individual, is king: 14-year-old children manipulate the stock market and 19-year-olds take down the music industry. Deep, unseen forces are undermining all forms of collectivism, from the family to the mass market: one little black box has the power to end television as we know it, and another one - also attached to the television set - may dictate significant changes in our practice of democracy. Where does it all lead? And will we like where we end up? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Lewis. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/bant/000402/bk_bant_000402_sample.mp3.
