Die Abrechnung mit der Pharma Mafia Audiobook

Wir Menschen, werden von Geburt an, durch die Gesellschaft, die Film- und Unterhaltungsindustrie aber auch in Schulen und anderen Bildungseinrichtungen, gebetsmühlenartig auf Virentheorien konditioniert, die durch ständige Wiederholungen als Realität wahrgenommen, und nicht weiter hinterfragt werden. Wenn man eine Lüge nur oft genug wiederholt, und diese von möglichst vielen verschiedenen Quellen bestätigt wird, hat es die Wahrheit, wenn es keine Menschen gibt, die sich- für sie einsetzen, sehr schwer. Aus diesem Grund bin ich hier, und werde dich auf eine Reise mitnehmen, in der du verstehen lernst, wie die kriminelle Pharma-Industrie nicht nur, die Natur und Naturheilmittel zerstört und kriminalisiert, sondern auch, wie sie mit ausgedachten Krankheiten und gezielten Vergiftungen, durch Impfungen und Medikamente, Milliarden verdient. Während die Instanzen, die uns schützen sollten, danebenstehen und ihre Täuschungen und Verbrechen beklatschen, weil sie von genau diesen Strukturen, mitfinanziert werden.

According To Plan: The Elites' Secret Plan to Sabotage America

It seems so much is going wrong in America. Some say it’s because our leaders are incompetent. Others think it’s merely a coincidence. But to millions of concerned Americans, those simplistic explanations no longer ring true. Instead, they sense something else is going on… Kevin Freeman is one of them. Drawing on his deep expertise in investigative analysis, he took a hard look at all that America is going through. Piecing together historical evidence and current events, he made a shocking discovery: The crises now facing America are happening according to plan. Decades in the making, it is a plan to take down the greatest obstacle to totalitarianism the world has ever known: the United States. And it’s a plan that will succeed—unless we join together now to save America.

Digitale Identität: Eine Nummer für die Sklaven

Machtbesessne Regierungen wollen jedem Menschen eine Nummer zuweisen. Diese digitale Identitikationsummer, auch 'elektronische Identität' (eID) genannt, wird aus jedem Menschen dieser Erde einen digitalen Sklaven machen. Die Nummer wird mit allen Dingen des Lebens verknüpft werden, z.B. deiner digitalen Brieftasche, dem Führerschein, dem CO2-Fussabdruck und deinem digitalen Benimmkonto. Damit können die Herrscher ihre Leibeigenen jederzeit bestrafen und isolieren, ohne dass sich die Opfer dieser digitalen Tyrannei zur Wehr setzen können. Einmal in das digitale System eingespielt, verliert der Mensch alle Grundfreiheiten, Besitztümer und Rechte.

A Life in the Shadows: A Memoir

No Indian spymaster has, until now, written a memoir. A.S. Dulat is the first to do so, and in A Life in the Shadows he does it with considerable elan. He is one of India's most successful spymasters, his name synonymous with the Kashmir issue. His methods of engagement and accommodation with all people and perspectives from India's most conflicted state are legendary. The author of two bestselling books, Kashmir: The Vajpayee Years (2014) and The Spy Chronicles: R&AW, ISI and the Illusion of Peace (2018), Dulat's views on India, Pakistan and Kashmir are well-known and sought after. Yet very little is known about him, primarily because the former spymaster has been notoriously private about his personal life. In this unusual and unique memoir, Dulat breaks that silence for the first time. This is not a traditional, linear narrative as much as a selection of stories from across space and time. Still bound by the rules of secrecy of his trade, he tells a fascinating story of a life richly lived and insightfully observed. From a Partition-bloodied childhood in Lahore and New Delhi to his early years as a young intelligence officer; from meetings with international spymasters to travels around the world; from his observations on Kashmir-political and personal-post the abrogation of Article 370, to his encounters with world leaders, politicians and celebrities; moving from Bhopal to Nepal and from Kashmir to China, Dulat tells the story of his life with remarkable honesty, verve and wit.

A Companion to Marx's Grundrisse

David Harvey tackles Marx's notebooks that have spawned wide-ranging and raging controversies When leading scholar of Marx, Roman Rosdolsky, first encountered the virtually unknown text of Marx's Grundrisse-his preparatory work for his masterpiece Das Capital-in the 1950s in New York Public Library, he recognized it as 'a work of fundamental importance,' but declared 'its unusual form' and 'obscure manner of expression, made it far from suitable for reaching a wide circle of readers.' David Harvey's Companion to Marx's Grundrisse builds upon his widely acclaimed companions to the first and second volumes of Capital in a way that will reach as wide an audience as possible. Marx's stated ambition for this text is to reveal 'the exact development of the concept of capital as the fundamental concept of modern economics, just as capital itself is the foundation of bourgeois society.' While respecting Marx's desire to 'bring out all the contradictions of bourgeois production, as well as the boundary where it drives beyond itself,' David Harvey also pithily illustrates the relevance of Marx's text to understanding the troubled state of contemporary capitalism.

Darkness at Dawn: The Rise of the Russian Criminal State

'The Russia that Satter depicts in this brave, engaging book cannot be ignored . . . Required reading for anyone interested in the post-Soviet state' (Newsweek). Anticipating a new dawn of freedom after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russians could hardly have foreseen the reality of their future a decade later: a country impoverished and controlled at every level by organized crime. This riveting book views the 1990s reform period through the experiences of individual citizens, revealing the changes that have swept Russia and their effect on Russia's age-old ways of thinking. 'With a reporter's eye for vivid detail and a novelist's ability to capture emotion, he conveys the drama of Russia's rocky road for the average victimized Russian . . . This is only half the story of what is happening in Russia these days, but it is the shattering half, and Satter renders it all the more poignant by making it so human.' -Foreign Affairs '[Satter] tells engrossing tales of brazen chicanery, official greed and unbearable suffering . . . Satter manages to bring the events to life with excruciating accounts of real Russians whose lives were shattered.' -Baltimore Sun

Today Hong Kong, Tomorrow the World: What China's Crackdown Reveals About Its Plans to End Freedom E

For 150 years as a British colony, Hong Kong was a beacon of prosperity where people, money, and technology flowed freely, and residents enjoyed many civil liberties. In preparation for handing the territory over to China in 1997, Deng Xiaoping promised that it would remain highly autonomous for fifty years. An international treaty established a Special Administrative Region (SAR) with a far freer political system than that of Communist China. But as the halfway mark of the SAR's lifespan approaches in 2022, it is clear that China has not kept its word. Universal suffrage and free elections have not been instituted, harassment and brutality have become normalized, and activists are being jailed en masse. This tragic backslide has dire worldwide implications. Today Hong Kong, Tomorrow the World tells the complete story of how a city once famed for protests so peaceful that toddlers joined grandparents became a place where police have fired tear gas, rubber bullets and even live ammunition at their neighbors, while pro-government hooligans attack demonstrators. A Hong Kong resident from 1992 to 2021, author Mark L. Clifford has witnessed this transformation firsthand. A powerful and dramatic mix of history and on-the-ground reporting, this book is the definitive account of one of the most important geopolitical standoffs of our time.

The Communist Manifesto - Karl Marx

The Communist Manifesto (German: Kommunistisches Manifest), originally the Manifesto of the Communist Party (German: Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei), is a political pamphlet written by German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Commissioned by the Communist League and originally published in London in 1848, the Manifesto remains one of the world's most influential political documents. It presents an analytical approach to class struggle and criticizes capitalism and the capitalist mode of production, without attempting to predict communism's potential future forms. The Communist Manifesto summarises Marx and Engels' theories concerning the nature of society and politics, namely that, in their own words, '[t]he history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles'. It also briefly features their ideas for how the capitalist society of the time would eventually be replaced by socialism. In the last paragraph of the Manifesto, the authors call for a 'forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions', which served as a call for communist revolutions around the world. In 2013, The Communist Manifesto was registered to UNESCO's Memory of the World Programme along with Marx's Capital.

Perpetual Peace - Immanuel Kant

'Perpetual Peace' is a philosophical work written by the German philosopher Immanuel Kant in 1795. In this work, Kant argues that peace can only be achieved through a world order based on international law, democratic governance, and the promotion of free trade. Kant believed that war was a result of a flawed system of international relations, where states pursued their own self-interests without regard for the interests of other nations. He argued that in order to establish a lasting peace, a system of international law must be established that would regulate the behavior of nations and prevent them from going to war. Kant also believed that a world federation of nations would be necessary to ensure peace. This federation would be based on democratic governance, where each nation would have an equal say in decisions that affected the world as a whole. Kant believed that this would help to ensure that the interests of all nations were taken into account, and that no one nation could dominate the others. Finally, Kant argued that free trade was essential for peace. He believed that by promoting economic interdependence between nations, free trade would create incentives for nations to work together and avoid war. Overall, Kant's 'Perpetual Peace' is a seminal work in the history of political philosophy, and continues to be influential today in debates about international relations and the pursuit of peace.

Confronting Saddam Hussein: George W. Bush and the Invasion of Iraq

America's decision to go to war in Iraq in 2003 is arguably the most important foreign policy choice of the entire post-Cold War era. Nearly two decades after the event, it remains central to understanding current international politics and US foreign relations. In Confronting Saddam Hussein, the eminent historian of US foreign policy Melvyn P. Leffler analyzes why the US chose war and who was most responsible for the decision. Employing a unique set of personal interviews with dozens of top officials and declassified American and British documents, Leffler vividly portrays the emotions and anxieties that shaped the thinking of the president after the shocking events of 9/11. He shows how fear, hubris, and power influenced Bush's approach to Saddam Hussein's Iraq. At the core of Leffler's account is his compelling portrait of Saddam Hussein. Rather than stressing Bush's preoccupation with promoting freedom or democracy, Leffler emphasizes Hussein's brutality, opportunism, and unpredictability and illuminates how the Iraqi dictator's record of aggression and intransigence haunted the president and influenced his calculations. Throughout, Leffler highlights the harrowing anxieties surrounding the decision-making process after the devastating attack on 9/11 and explains the roles of contingency, agency, rationality, and emotion.

Ein neuer Strukturwandel der Öffentlichkeit und die deliberative Politik

1962 erschien Strukturwandel der Öffentlichkeit, Jürgen Habermas' erstes Buch. In sozialhistorischer und begriffsgeschichtlicher Perspektive profiliert er darin einen Begriff von Öffentlichkeit, der dieser einen Platz zwischen Zivilgesellschaft und politischem System zuweist. Der Strukturwandel reihte sich alsbald ein unter die großen Klassiker der Soziologie des 20. Jahrhunderts und hat eine breite Forschung in den Geschichts- und Sozialwissenschaften angeregt. Und auch Habermas selbst hat sich in späteren Arbeiten immer wieder mit der Rolle der Öffentlichkeit für die Bestandssicherung des demokratischen Gemeinwesens beschäftigt. Angesichts einer durch die Digitalisierung veränderten Medienstruktur und der Krise der Demokratie kehrt er nun erneut zu diesem Thema zurück.
