    Believe Me: 21 Lies Told by Donald Trump and What They Reveal About His Vision for America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 119min
    The appeal of the strong-man ruler, sailing in from on high to fix a broken system is nothing new. It was the same charismatic "champion-of-the-people" sales pitch that brought anti-democratic dictators such as Hugo Chavez, Mussolini, and the Kim family to power in the 20th century. While not qualified or temperamentally fit for the presidency, Donald Trump is a remarkable salesman. He's also a decent brand-advocate and an accomplished con-artist. By tapping into the textbook elements of fascism (nationalism, authoritarianism, militarism, and the scapegoating of immigrants and minorities) Trump has produced a toxic, but darkly alluring political brand, one based in fear and falsehoods. In Believe Me, B. Joey Basamanowicz dissects 21 outright lies Donald Trump has perpetrated since announcing his candidacy in the summer of 2015. From empty promises, to revisionist histories, to baseless attacks on his opponents, Donald Trump has become a larger-than-life, Trumped-up caricature of the slimy, say-anything politician. Believe Me probes Trump's opportunistic manipulations of a Washington-weary public, while pondering the unprecedented dangers posed by a Donald Trump presidency. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Stories We Tell Ourselves: Stop Jumping to Conclusions. Free Yourself from Anxiety. Transform Your Relationships. , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 329min
    Change the story. Change your life. From imagined catastrophes to play-by-play interpretations of others' behavior, we are expert storytellers, quick to fill in the blanks. Unfortunately, all too often our behavior is determined by baseless suspicions, which trigger needless pain. Real life passes us by as we fall for powerful fantasies of our own creation. It doesn't have to be this way. In The Stories We Tell Ourselves, author and therapist Scott Gornto shows us how to break the cycle of false assumptions that lead to unnecessary anxiety. By taking control of our reactions to the people around us, we can learn how to be truly present in our lives as we nurture the relationships that matter most. Based on more than 20 years of research and experience, Gornto demonstrates how family narratives, media, and past experiences shape compelling storylines that blind us to reality and wreak havoc on our relationships. Through persuasive examples, he models fresh, life-enhancing approaches to engaging with friends, business associates, and loved ones alike. Don't waste your life making up stories. The Stories We Tell Ourselves is a wake-up call and a compassionate, accessible guide to transforming your relationships - and your life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: R. Scott Gornto.

    Guilty Minds , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 579min
    New York Times best-selling author Joseph Finder delivers an exhilarating and timely thriller exploring how even the most powerful among us can be brought down by scandal and how the lies we tell one another - and ourselves - can never truly stay buried. The chief justice of the Supreme Court is about to be defamed by a powerful gossip website called Slander Sheet, which specializes in dirt on celebs and politicians. Their top reporter has written an exposé claiming that the chief justice had liaisons with an escort, a young woman willing to appear on video and tell the world her salacious yet convincing tale. But the chief justice is not without formidable allies, and his greatest supporter is determined to stop the story in its tracks. Nick Heller is a private spy - a private intelligence operative based in Boston, hired by lawyers, politicians, and even foreign governments. Known as both a maverick and a dedicated, high-powered investigator, he's called to Washington, DC, to help out in this delicate, potentially explosive situation. Nick has just 48 hours to prove the story about the chief justice is baseless. But when the call girl is found murdered, the case takes an unexpected and dangerous turn, and Nick resolves to find the true mastermind behind the Slander Sheet story before anyone else falls victim to the maelstrom of political scandal and ruined reputations predicated upon one carefully concealed secret. ungekürzt.

    The Illuminati: Inside the Secret Organization , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 102min
    The rules, regulations, and the bizarre conspiracy theories.... Conspiracy theories are a fascinating study of imagination meshed with facts to create a reality where even the moon landing could be faked. Many discredit conspiracy theories as baseless and attention seeking, but it would do us well to remember that many of these conspiracy theories have been proven to have been true after all. Almost without a doubt, the Illuminati are the Holy Grail of conspiracy theories (pun unintended). Due to a number of reasons that will be outlined in this book, the Illuminati have become a household name that pervades popular culture to a very high degree. The Illuminati have featured in best-selling books and blockbuster movies, in a variety of forms. Allegations of secret rituals (always described as profane from a fundamentally Christian perspective) and sexual practices as well as links with powerful personalities in history have abounded. The sheer amount of information available about the Illuminati is mind-boggling. The purpose of this book is functionally from the standpoint of fact. My intention is to structurally outline and collate the information available and hope to arrive at a clearer picture of the truth behind the conspiracy theory, if that is at all possible, and also examine the nature of a conspiracy theory itself.... Here is a preview of what's inside: Who were the Illuminati Decline of the Illuminati The rituals of the Illuminati The symbols of the Illuminati Blood ties and transhumanism Illuminati in popular culture Much, much more! ungekürzt.

    The Borgias: The Lives and Legacies of Rodrigo, Cesare, and Lucrezia Borgia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 193min
    Alexander never did what he said. Cesare never said what he did. (Italian proverb) The stories and legends attributed to the Borgias have made them one of the most notorious families in history. Five hundred years after their deaths, they have come to be associated more with incest, political intrigue, murder, and state-sponsored violence. While 21st-century TV series have cast the Borgias as the first organized crime family, the rumors spread by the family's political opponents in the late 15th century have taken hold among a fascinated public. Did Cesare really have an incestuous relationship with sister Lucrezia? Did the pope really throw lavish orgies? While Rodrigo may not have been as colorful or criminal as the enduring legends, there is no question he was manipulative, ruthless and ultimately effective. From an administrative standpoint, Rodrigo was a success as Pope Alexander VI, with a big assist from son Cesare. In one of the most famous political treatises in history, Niccolo Machiavelli famously advised those who hold power that it is better to be feared than loved. The world has always had a fascination with femme fatales, and few historical women have ever been portrayed as one quite like Lucrezia Borgia. Lucrezia is a baseless, immoral villain in Victor Hugo's Lucrezia Borgia, and she continues to be depicted as a schemer and manipulator on par with her famous brother and father in film and critically acclaimed television series. The great irony is that Lucrezia's reputation seems to be wildly at odds with the actual woman herself. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joseph Chialastri.

    The Best Worst President: What the Right Gets Wrong About Barack Obama , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 476min
    Political analyst and Democratic campaign veteran Mark Hannah gives Barack Obama the victory lap he deserves in this compendium that takes the president's critics head-on and celebrates the president's many underappreciated triumphs. Barack Obama's election in 2008 was a watershed moment in American history that inspired supporters on the Left - and fired up enemies on the Right. Elected in the midst of multiple crises - a Wall Street meltdown that imperiled the global economy and American troops entangled in two foreign wars - Barack Obama's presidency promised from the start to be one of the most consequential presidencies in modern American history. Although he stabilized the economy and restored America's prestige on the global stage, President Obama has been denied the credit he deserves, receiving instead acidic commentary from political opponents such as former vice president Dick Cheney, who declared that Obama was "the worst president in [his] lifetime" - an accusation that reflects the politics of resentment and recrimination that has come to characterize the president's critics. In The Best Worst President, Mark Hannah swiftly and systematically debunks conservative lies and disinformation meant to negate the president's accomplishments and damage his reputation - baseless charges too often left unchallenged by the national media. The Best Worst President is a whip-smart takedown of these half truths and hypocrisies, each refuted in a smart, witty, fact-based style. Hannah not only defends the president but showcase his administration's most surprising and underappreciated triumphs - making clear he truly is the best "worst president" our nation has ever known. ungekürzt.
