    The Walking Dead - Staffel 10 Uncut Edition
    Es ist Frühling, wenige Monate nach dem rauen Winter der neunten Staffel, in der die Überlebenden es wagten, in das Gebiet der Flüsterer vorzudringen. Noch immer tief schockiert von Alphas brutaler Machtdemonstration, die den Tod zahlreicher unschuldiger Menschen bedeutete, respektieren die Mitglieder der zusammengeschlossenen Communitys nur widerwillig die neuen Grenzlinien und formieren schließlich eine Miliz, um sich auf die unausweichliche Schlacht mit dem Feind hinter der Maske vorzubereiten. Die Flüsterer stellen jedoch eine komplett neue Bedrohung dar. Mit der Unterstützung einer schier endlosen Horde von Beißern scheint der Kampf gegen die stillen Maskenträger aussichtslos. Nagende Ungewissheit und hochgeschürte Ängste machen sich unter den Überlebenden breit und ebnen den Weg für Paranoia, Propaganda sowie geheime Absichten und interne Konfrontationen, die allesamt die Gesellschaft an sich, aber auch jeden Einzelnen auf eine harte Probe stellen. Das Überleben einer Zivilisation inmitten einer von Untoten bevölkerten Welt ist unsicherer denn je.Episoden:Disc 1Überschrittene GrenzenWir sind das Ende der WeltGeisterMaskenDisc 2Diebstahl und LügenNeue VerbindungenMach die Augen aufNichts ist wie zuvorDisc 3Zukunft oder Rache?HinterhaltVon Angesicht zu AngesichtWas Alpha willDisc 4Michonnes WegAbschiedePrinzessinUnter FeindenDisc 5Home Sweet HomeHappy MondayDas eine nochSplitterDisc 6Ein bester FreundNegan

    Die Moskauer
    Woran die DDR gescheitert ist - das stalinistische Trauma der Gründergeneration: Die DDR war geprägt von Paranoia und Denunziation. Der Historiker und Publizist Andreas Petersen erzählt, wie es dazu kam, und erkundet das Trauma der Gründergeneration um Pieck und Ulbricht. Sie hatten in Moskau die Jahre des Terrors erlebt, in denen Stalin mehr Spitzenkader der KPD ermorden ließ als Hitler. Angst und Verrat wurden für die Exilanten aus Deutschland zur schrecklichen Normalität. Ab 1945 übernahmen die zurückgekehrten »Moskauer« die Führung in der sowjetisch besetzten Zone. Die ersten Jahre waren Stalin-Jahre, Zweifel und Fragen waren in der neu gegründeten SED nicht erwünscht. Die »Moskauer« hätten sich sonst der eigenen Verstrickung stellen müssen. Denn jeder von ihnen hatte jemanden denunziert, um sich selbst zu retten, und jeder wusste es vom Anderen. Ein Mantel des Schweigens legte sich über den neuen Staat. Fesselnd schildert Andreas Petersen dieses Gründungstrauma und seine Folgen - ein lebendiges Psychogramm der führenden SED-Funktionäre, aber auch der Gesellschaft der DDR. Bis heute wird geschwiegen, Verwundungen, Ängste und Zorn sind nicht verschwunden. Ein aufrüttelndes Buch, das dazu beitragen kann, die noch immer spürbare Zerrissenheit zu überwinden.

    Modern Conspiracies in America (eBook, ePUB)
    "... an excellent guide to logic and credibility for all who are curious about this complex and urgent subject." Booklist Starred ReviewAmerica is awash with alleged conspiracies. It seems like today, no one with a cell phone escapes the vortex of skepticism, cynicism, paranoia, and fear that occupy our thoughts almost constantly. Seeking out valid answers in this cacophony can be confusing and deeply frustrating. In this book, historian Michael D. Gambone provides case studies of popular conspiracy theories in America from the past 100 years, from Protocol of the Elders of Zion to #stopthesteal. He offers an approach based on basic logic and historical case studies, not designed to win arguments, but to help readers separate truth from the avalanche of nonsense descending on us every day. In each case, Gambone outlines the conspiracy claim, provides historical context for the conspiracy, presents evidence of the conspiracy claim, and analyzes the claim, context, and evidence.Modern Conspiracies in American History will appeal to a broad audience of readers interested in American history and those seeking to become better informed consumers of news in an era when social media spreads misinformation widely and quickly.
