Dark Carnivals: Modern Horror and the Origins of American Empire (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BQ1PJSWX | 2022 | 14 hours and 16 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 387 MB
Author: W. Scott Poole
Narrator: Enrique McGavin
The panoramic story of how the horror genre transformed into one of the most incisive critiques of unchecked American imperial power. The American empire emerged from the shadows of World War II. As the nation's influence swept the globe with near impunity, a host of evil forces followed-from racism, exploitation, and military invasion to killer clowns, flying saucers, and monsters borne of a fear of the other. By viewing American imperial history through the prism of the horror genre, Dark Carnivals lays bare how the genre shaped us, distracted us, and gave form to a violence as American as apple pie. A carnival ride that connects the mushroom clouds of 1945 to the beaches of Amity Island, Charles Manson to the massacre at My Lai, and John Wayne to John Wayne Gacy, the new book by acclaimed historian W. Scott Poole reveals how horror films and fictions have followed the course of America's military and cultural empire and explores how the shadow of our national sins can take on the form of mass entertainment.

Chuck Yeager: World War II Fighter Pilot (Audiobook)

Author: Don Keith
Narrator: Josh Robert Thompson
The riveting true story of United States Air Force officer, flying ace, and record-setting test pilot Chuck Yeager. Bold, brash, and brimming with courage, Chuck Yeager burst onto the scene as a national hero in 1947, when he became the first to fly an airplane faster than the speed of sound. Yet even before his days as America's most famous test pilot, Yeager was a young fighter ace in the US Army Air Force, flying a P-51 Mustang over Nazi-occupied Europe. His exploits are the stuff of legend. Soon after downing his first enemy fighter, Yeager, too, was shot down, surviving thanks to the help of the French Resistance and his own skills as a bomb maker-and earned a Bronze Star for saving the life of a fellow American. Against regulation, and only with the approval of General Eisenhower himself, Yeager returned to duty as a fighter pilot. While fiercely protecting Allied bombers, he shot down eleven enemy planes, including a lightning-fast Messerschmitt Me 262, the world's first jet-powered airplane, and completed more than sixty missions. In Chuck Yeager, acclaimed author Don Keith tells the true story of the American icon during the war in which Yeager first proved he had the right stuff.

Cheap Land Colorado: Off-Gridders at America's Edge (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B09RXVL6Z3 | 2022 | 10 hours and 9 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 259 MB
Author: Ted Conover
Narrator: Ted Conover
From Pulitzer Prize finalist and National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author, a passage through an America lived wild and off the grid, where along with independence and stunning views come fierce winds, neighbors with criminal pasts, and minimal government and medical services. In May 2017, Ted Conover went to Colorado to explore firsthand a rural way of life that is about living cheaply, on your own land-and keeping clear of the mainstream. The failed subdivisions of the enormous San Luis Valley make this possible. Five-acre lots on the high prairie can be had for five thousand dollars, sometimes less. Conover volunteered for a local group trying to prevent homelessness during the bitter winters.

Author: Craig McGuire, Carmine Imbriale
Narrator: Johnny Heller
This is the true story of Carmine Imbriale-a gambler, a brawler, a bandit, a bookie, an enforcer. For two decades, Imbriale was a street-level operative in one of the most violent crews in the Colombo Family. Now in hiding, Imbriale teams up with true-crime veteran writer Craig McGuire to take you inside the Thirteenth Avenue rackets at the height of their violence. This is the jarring account of his lawless lifestyle culminating in a gang war in South Brooklyn, from which he emerges a survivor. From his first arrest at fifteen for robbing a Coney Island pimp to surviving multiple assassination attempts, Imbriale offers up dozens of too-good-to-be-true tales featuring some of the most notorious gangsters, as well as other lions and lackeys of La Cosa Nostra, and details a beef with none other than Greg "The Grim Reaper" Scarpa Sr. A young streetwise hustler, Imbriale thought he found loyalty, a brotherhood. Instead, he descended into a world of treachery and deceit, where your best friend is your executioner, and no one gets out alive. But no one expected him to become the domino that helped bring it all down.
Cannibal Capitalism: How Our System Is Devouring Democracy, Care, and the Planet - and What We Can Do About It (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BDBD16G7 | 2022 | 7 hours and 35 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 194 MB
Author: Nancy Fraser
Narrator: Kate Udall
A trenchant look at contemporary capitalism's insatiable appetite-and a rallying cry for everyone who wants to stop it from devouring our world. Capital is currently cannibalizing every sphere of life-guzzling wealth from nature and racialized populations, sucking up our ability to care for each other, and gutting the practice of politics. In this tightly argued and urgent volume, leading Marxist feminist theorist Nancy Fraser charts the voracious appetite of capital, tracking it from crisis point to crisis point, from ecological devastation to the collapse of democracy, from racial violence to the devaluing of care work. These crisis points all come to a head in Covid-19, which Fraser argues can help us envision the resistance we need to end the feeding frenzy. What we need, she argues, is a wide-ranging socialist movement that can recognize the rapaciousness of capital-and starve it to death.
By The People?: The 2020 U.S. Presidential Election and Theft of Americans' Right to Self Rule (Audiobook)
English | ISBN: 9798822660229 | 2022 | 15 hours and 53 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 454 MB
Author: Daniel Alan Brubaker
Narrator: Daniel Alan Brubaker
In advance of the 2020 election, influential partisans of candidate Joe Biden in the name of "emergency" caused the election to be conducted in violation of laws passed by the legislatures in every swing state. These deviations, which violated the U.S. Constitution and overrode the will of the people as expressed in their laws, increased opportunity for cheating while removing security and transparency. In April of 2021, a Rasmussen poll found that most voters, including many Democrats, believe it is "likely" that cheating affected the outcome. Yet, within a week of the election, at the very moment serious allegations of corruption were multiplying, media and Democrat partisan authorities suddenly announced that the 2020 election was the "most safe and secure in history." Veteran investigator Dr. Daniel Brubaker, turned his attention to these issues. This book is the culmination of that investigation. What he discovered adds to a growing body of research that demonstrates why-as a result of Democrats' own manipulative actions-it cannot be known that Joe Biden won.
