The Final Fight for Freedom: How to Save Our Country from Chaos and War
From New York Times bestselling author Chris Stewart and Dr. Dane Stewart Truth is being destroyed, free speech criminalized, the dollar fast becoming worthless. Ideologues at the helm of Big Tech, Big Media, and Big Business are set on the destruction of capitalism and democracy. Powerful federal agencies are no longer protectors of the people, but their primary adversary. Not since the Civil War has our nation been so divided, bringing us to the edge of national suicide. And our enemies-China being chief among them-see our weakness. If we falter, they will act. Not since World War II have we faced an adversary so determined to achieve global dominance. At this moment, they are perfecting an arsenal of weapons to use against us: Quantum computing. Artificial intelligence. Hypersonic missiles. Bio-warfare. These are threats we must defeat. But before we are able to do that, we must protect ourselves from the enemy within. Many of our forefathers had to fight a Great War to save their freedom. It falls upon this generation to fight two. But we must not lose hope. There is a way to save our nation.
Congressman Chris Stewart, Dane Stewart (Author), Tom Parks (Narrator)

Dismantling Global White Privilege: Equity for a Post-Western World
White privilege damages and distorts societies around the world, not just in the United States. This book exposes its pervasive global reach and creates a new space for discourse on worldwide racial equality. As Chandran Nair shows in this uncompromising new book, a belief in the innate superiority of White people and Western culture, once the driving force behind imperialism, is now woven into the very fabric of globalization. It is so insidious that, as Nair points out, even many non-White people have internalized it, judging themselves by an alien standard. It has no rival in terms of longevity, global reach, harm done, and continuing subversion of other cultures and societies. Nair takes a comprehensive look at the destructive influence of global White privilege. He examines its impact on geopolitics, the reframing of world history, and international business practices. In the soft-power spheres of White privilege-entertainment, the news media, sports, and fashion-he offers example after example of how White cultural products remain the aspirational standard. Even environmentalism has been corrupted, dominated by a White savior mentality whereby technologies and practices built in the West will save the supposedly underdeveloped, poorly governed, and polluted non-Western world. For all these areas, Nair gives specific suggestions for breaking the power of White privilege. It must be dismantled-not just because it is an injustice but also because we will be creating a post-Western world that has less conflict, is more united, and is better able to respond to the existential challenges facing all of us.

China Unbound: A New World Disorder
While the United States stumbles, an award-winning foreign correspondent chronicles China's dramatic moves to become the world's dominant power. As the second-largest economy, China is now extending its influence across the globe. Joanna Chiu has spent a decade tracking China's propulsive rise, from the complicity of democratic nations, to a new colonialism coming from its multibillion-dollar "New Silk Road" initiative, to its growing sway on foreign countries and multilateral institutions. Chiu transports readers to protests in Hong Kong, underground churches in Beijing, and exile Uighur communities in Turkey, exposing Beijing's use of high-tech police surveillance and aggressive human-rights violations against those who challenge its power. With increasingly close ties between authoritarian states, the new world order documented in China Unbound lays out the disturbing implications for prosperity and freedom everywhere.
Joanna Chiu (Author), Nancy Wu (Narrator)

Coronavirus Criminals and Pandemic Profiteers: Accountability for Those Who Caused the Crisis
A furious denunciation of coronavirus criminals The rogues gallery begins with Donald Trump, who deliberately downplayed the coronavirus crisis despite knowing its dangers, as well as his international political allies, above all Boris Johnson. Billionaire politicians like Georgia senator Kelly Loeffler moved stocks at the same time they were telling Americans all was well. Political charlatans like Education Secretary Betsy DeVos undermined public safety in order to advance their agenda. Libertarian 'think tanks' like the Ayn Rand Institute decried public expenditures but were first in line to get bailout checks. Pharmaceutical companies gamed the vaccine race, and the most rapacious global corporations like Facebook, Visa, and Pfizer have found the pandemic to be very profitable indeed, vastly enriching the already grotesquely bloated fortunes of trillionaires like Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Charles Koch. Guilty Men closes with a call for a version of the Pecora Commission, initiated by newly elected Franklin Roosevelt, that took aim at what FDR called 'speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, and profiteering' that stoked the Depression. The commission led to some of the most far-reaching reforms in US history, as well as sensational hearings that led to the fall of the leading bankers and financiers of that era.

Intensiv: Wenn der Ausnahmezustand Alltag ist, Ein Notruf
Who cares? Ricardo Lange, Intensivpfleger, liebt seinen Beruf – und leidet an ihm. So sehr, dass er seinem Ärger über die Missstände in der Pflege auf Facebook Luft macht und an die Öffentlichkeit geht. Deutschlandweite Berühmtheit erlangt er, als er von Jens Spahn zur Bundespressekonferenz eingeladen wird und dort vom Krankenhausalltag berichtet: von den katastrophalen Arbeitsbedingungen, der permanenten körperlichen und emotionalen Überlastung und dem sicheren Gefühl, dass sich die Politik nicht wirklich dafür interessiert. Er legt seinen Finger in viele Wunden, macht sich Gedanken darüber, welche Schritte von wem gegangen werden müssen, und sucht nach praktikablen, zielführenden Lösungen, denn »diese Krise muss auch gute Seiten haben«.

La Transición contada a nuestros padres: Nocturno de la democracia española
¿Es el relato oficial de la Transición verdaderamente fidedigno? Juan Carlos Monedero pone en el punto de mira los silencios, los aullidos y las poses fotográficas de quienes participaron en ella y de quienes no lo hicieron pero se agarraron al discurso oficial como un clavo ardiendo. En estas páginas se cuestionan ciertos aspectos del pasado ya no tan reciente de España y de su efecto en la sociedad y el sistema democrático. Monedero reclama una mirada más real de esta época pasada que sirva para avanzar hacia un futuro más brillante en un mundo plagado de populismos de extrema derecha, pseudopolíticos y coaliciones inefectivas. Este audiolibro está narrado en castellano. - Juan Carlos Monedero es Doctor en Ciencias Políticas y profesor titular en la facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociología de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Curso estudios de Economía, Ciencias Políticas y Sociología y más tarde realizó un posgrado en la Universidad de Heidelberg, en Alemania. Fue cofundador del partido político Podemos y ha publicado numerosos libros sobre ciencias políticas y sociología. Presenta el programa «En la frontera» en Público TV.

Regreso a la jaula: El fracaso de López Obrador
¿Cuáles fueron las verdaderas razones del triunfo electoral de Andrés Manuel López Obrador en 2018? Y aún más importante: a dos años de iniciado su gobierno, ¿dónde están las tan esperadas transformaciones políticas que prometía con vehemencia? Una de las claves para el éxito de AMLO, asegura Roger Bartra en este libro, fueron las cuestionables alianzas que impulsaron la campaña del hoy presidente, y que revelaron finalmente su verdadera orientación política. Aunque para los seguidores más fieles de su partido se vendió como un demócrata firmemente anclado en la izquierda, los hechos lo han revelado como un populista de la más conservadora derecha, inspirado en el priismo autoritario de los años sesenta y setenta. Para Bartra, esto significa sólo una cosa: la así autonombrada «Cuarta Transformación» no es sino un retroceso a una etapa de nuestra historia política que parecía ya superada, con todos los riesgos políticos, económicos y sociales que esto implica. Para muestra, basta un somero recuento de los resultados que han traído sus maltrechos programas sociales y sus agresivas medidas de austeridad, amén de su errática respuesta ante la emergencia derivada de la covid-19. Hoy es claro, quizá más que nunca, que el proyecto político de AMLO ha sido un fracaso que puede ser peligroso para el destino de México en el corto plazo. Ante ese escenario, las elecciones de 2021 tienen la posibilidad de equilibrar la balanza política del país en favor de una verdadera democracia plural o consolidar uno de los movimientos políticos más nocivos de nuestra historia reciente. ¿Qué camino elegirán los votantes?
Roger Bartra (Author), Mauricio Pérez Castillo (Narrator)

Wunschdenken: Warum Politik so häufig scheitert
Werden wir gut regiert? Oder bleibt die Politik hinter ihren Möglichkeiten zurück? Und wenn das so ist - woran liegt das? Gibt es Techniken guten Regierens? In seinem Bestseller beschreibt Thilo Sarrazin die Mechaniken von Politik, ihre typischen Fehler und die Gründe für den Erfolg oder Misserfolg von Gesellschaften. Er verdeutlicht, warum die Träume von einer besseren Gesellschaft oft nichts Gutes hervorgebracht haben. Von hier schlägt er den Bogen zu den Fehlern der aktuellen deutschen Politik, von der Einwanderung bis zur Energiewende. Er erklärt die tieferen Ursachen und gibt seine Antworten auf die großen Fragen zur Zukunft Deutschlands.
Thilo Sarrazin (Author), Armand Presser (Narrator)

Der Kult: Über die Viralität des Bösen
Warum tun gute Menschen Böses? Wieso werden so viele zu fügsamen Mittätern? Und warum rebellieren sie nicht, wenn man ihnen die Freiheit nimmt? Antworten auf diese Fragen erhalten wir, wenn wir eines erkennen: Ein Virus geht um in der Welt ? ein Virus des Geistes. Es macht die Menschen zu Anhängern eines Weltuntergangskults, der sie in willfährige Staatsbürger verwandelt und ihre Werte ins Lebensfeindliche verkehrt. Wie funktioniert dieser Kult und woher kommt er? Wer ist sein Gott, wer seine Priester? Und wozu ist er künftig noch in der Lage? Nur wenn wir seine Wirkweise verstehen und uns philosophisch gegen ihn immunisieren, können wir uns ein Leben bewahren, für das es sich zu überleben lohnt. Auf der Suche nach einer Antwort auf die Frage, wie all das bloß passieren konnte, nimmt Gunnar Kaiser den Leser mit auf eine philosophische Reise: ins Dickicht der Kultideologie, ins Innerste einer vergifteten Gesellschaft. Kaisers Buch weist den Weg aus der selbstverschuldeten Ohnmacht hin zu einer Kultur der Lebendigkeit und Freiheit. Es stellt ein für alle Mal klar: Egal, wie aussichtslos die Lage auch erscheinen mag ? wir sind alles andere als machtlos. Denn sobald wir unsere Fesseln erkennen, können wir uns befreien und gemeinsam Neues erschaffen.
