Grief , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 53min
Grief can strike in the best of us, it can be debilitating, it can make us feel morose and it can almost permanently take the edge off of everything we do. Grief is a condition that you create yourself. We can all suffer at times from grief yet for those who dwell on it, it tends to create a life of its own and then it becomes a part of us and then it almost consumes us to the extent we lose our free thought and hide behind it as a facade and an excuse as to not to fail or move forward. Grief can stop us moving and, it can cloud our decisions, stop us smiling and become even more judgmental in everything we do. This audio download is ideal for those who have suffered a past situation which they dwell upon to not only to their own detriment but all those around them too. It's selfish, self centred and it proves nothing. It neither gives one validation nor purpose as we can't change the past and regurgitating the past as an appeasement is sordid and shallow and offers nothing to life whatsoever. Being guilty other than of a deed never solves anything even for those evil loveless people who feed upon it and gloat on others negative situations for their own "vampire like" addictions which only goes to highlight what useless people they are. ungekürzt.

Churchill's Ace: Epic War Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 549min
Nazi Germany is entering a dangerous period of its existence and a young German boy, Wolf Kruger, dreams of becoming a fighter ace in the feared Luftwaffe. His parents, however, have higher aspirations for their talented son and are beginning to voice concerns over Hitler and his increasingly frightening megalomania, something which ultimately costs them their lives. Meanwhile, in Great Britain, there is a single voice of reason, standing up to the rise of the Nazis and challenging the appeasement of the British government as they give in, time and again, to Hitler's demands. Winston Churchill warns against allowing the Fuhrer to get away with too much and urges others to make a stand. Little does Churchill and Kruger realize, but their lives are soon to become inextricably intertwined as the boy grows into a man, and the politician in the wilderness grows into one of the most formidable statesmen of the 20th Century. Packed with history, fighter pilots and intrigue, this is the first book in the fast-paced Epic War series, featuring the intellect and persona of Winston Churchill and a host of other memorable characters, including Madeline, Winston's headstrong niece who is a match for any man...or fighter pilot. The book has been re-edited. As Winston Churchill might have said in this case, "The author will do the right thing...eventually. And he was kind enough to light my cigar." ungekürzt.

Warum wir Putin stoppen müssen (eBook, ePUB)
Kreml-Gegner Kasparow über Putins Bestrebern die freie Welt zu spalten Der Aufstieg des hochrangigen ehemaligen KGB-Offiziers Wladimir Putin zum russischen Präsidenten im Jahr 1999 hätte für uns ein Warnsignal sein können, dass sich Russland in eine nicht demokratische Richtung bewegt. In den folgenden Jahren jedoch - während die USA und die anderen führenden Nationen eine auf Russland zielende Appeasement-Politik betrieben - hat sich Putin nicht nur zu einem Diktator, sondern zu einer globalen Bedrohung entwickelt. Mit seinem riesigen Arsenal an Nuklearwaffen bildet Putins Russland das Zentrum eines weltweiten Angriffs auf die politische Freiheit. Putins Russland stellt sich wie der IS oder wie Al Qaida gegen die demokratischen Länder dieser Welt. Es ist noch immer dem Kalten Krieg verhaftet und hat seine Lektionen daraus nicht gelernt.Damit wir uns nicht weiter in einen neuen kalten Krieg verwickeln, fordert Kasparow, dass wir in den USA und Europa auf wirtschaftlicher und auf diplomatischer Ebene eindeutig Stellung gegen Putin beziehen. Solange die Staatschefs der demokratischen Länder nach wie vor Beziehungen zu Putin unterhalten und mit ihm verhandeln, hat er Anerkennung, Glaubwürdigkeit und Rückhalt im eigenen Land.Kasparow argumentiert mit der ihm eigenen klaren Logik und aus seiner Überzeugung und der Liebe zu seinem Land heraus. "Warum wir Putin stoppen müssen" ist ein Aufruf zu handeln und die Bedrohung durch Putins Russland nicht länger zu ignorieren.- Shop: buecher

Deliver Us From Evil: Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism, Hörbuch, Digital, 280min
As Americans face the ongoing war against terrorists and their state sponsors around the world, Sean Hannity reminds us we must also cope with the continuing scourge of accommodation and cowardice at home. With his trademark blend of passion and hard-hitting commentary, he urges Americans to recognize the dangers of putting our faith in toothless "multilateralism" when the times call for decisive action. He believes that only through strong defense of our freedoms, at home and around the world, can we preserve America's security and liberty in the dangerous 21st century. "Evil exists," Hannity believes. "It is real, and it means to harm us." Tracing a direct line from Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin through Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden, he reminds us of the courage and moral clarity of our great leaders. And he reveals how the disgraceful history of appeasement has reached forward from the days of Neville Chamberlain and Jimmy Carter to corrupt the unrepentant leftists of the modern Democratic Party, from Howard Dean and John Kerry to Bill and Hillary Clinton. Hannity's first blockbuster book, the New York Times best seller Let Freedom Ring, cemented his place as the freshest and most compelling conservative voice in the country. As host of the phenomenally successful Hannity & Colmes and The Sean Hannity Show, Hannity has won a wildly devoted fan base. Now he brings his plainspoken, take-no-prisoners style to the continuing War on Terror abroad, and liberalism at home, in Deliver Us from Evil. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Hannity.

Death by China: Confronting the Dragon - A Global Call to Action , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 497min
Best-selling author Peter Navarro (The Coming China Wars) and Greg Autry challenge the dominant paradigm of a "Chinese Miracle" - the one featuring a modernizing, progressive Chinese state heading toward political reform and driving global economic growth with its new found embrace of capitalism and freedom. Tearing this delusion away, Death by China documents the myriad ways that a powerful, wealthy, and corrupt Chinese Communist Party emboldened by a growing nationalistic frenzy is becoming the biggest threat to global peace, prosperity, and health since Nazi Germany. From currency manipulation and abusive trade policies, to slave labor and deadly consumer products, China's ruthless rulers threaten the livelihood of the citizens of every developed nation. These thugs have created a frightening, amoral society ruled by a constant fear hidden to outsiders and bought off with the ill-gotten profits of a myopic quest for economic advantage at any cost - social, environmental, or civil rights concerns be damned. Worse, as with everything else, China is scaling and exporting this model around this world, threatening its neighbors and exploiting developing nations across the globe with a new imperialism. While America worries that Al Qaeda or Iran might get their hands on a weapon of mass destruction, China is using our Wal-Mart dollars to build them by the score, filling brand new nuclear submarines with missiles aimed at our heartland and building stealth planes designed to obliterate our friends in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. America's policy of appeasement and perpetual bending to Beijing's tacit threat to stop funding our unsustainable consumption-based economy and deficit-addicted government has left the Chinese people and the world in a frightening position while achieving absolutely nothing. With each new attempt at further "engagement", China simply rounds up more artists, writers, and political dissidents into its gul ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christopher Hurt.

Danzig: A Novel of Political Intrigue , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 996min
Danzig is a gripping historical novel in the grand tradition. It has generated rave reviews for its authenticity and its realistic portrayal of high pressure diplomatic clashes between Hitler and Western nations in the 1930s.The story encompasses fast-paced events in Geneva, Berlin, Warsaw, and London, as well as Danzig itself, capturing the drama of unfolding crisis that engulfed Europe on what we now know was the path to war. Inspired by actual events, Danzig is a story of diplomatic conflict and political intrigue in Central Europe during the 1930s. Richly atmospheric, it is a gripping historical novel in the grand tradition. The Free City of Danzig was established by the Treaty of Versailles as a mandate to be protected by the League of Nations and its high commissioner. In 1933, the Nazi party took control of Danzig and pursued a hostile and violent agenda aimed at overthrowing the League’s high commissioner and subverting its constitutional protections. Sean Lester, an Irish diplomat, was the League’s high commissioner in Danzig and Paul Muller, a young man fresh from university, was his secretary during this tense period.The story portrays the roles played by Lester and Muller as repeated crises engulfed Danzig and high stakes confrontations led to diplomatic clashes and, finally, political betrayal. Their story vividly captures the struggle between rampant Nazi ascendency and the league’s mandate to preserve Danzig’s fragile democracy.Through the eyes of Lester and Muller, from their perch at the epicenter of the Danzig conflict, we watch Hitler consolidating power and flexing growing German strength; we see Britain embracing a policy of feckless appeasement, unwilling to confront the looming German menace; and we are caught up in the hothouse atmosphere of a hesitant League of Nations, brimming with intrigue and infighting and ultimately failing to deliver on its promise of peace through diplomacy and collective ungekürzt.
