Free Download From the Ashes: Grief and Revolution in a World on Fire (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CV1Y7Q2J | 2024 | 11 hours and 4 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 319 MB
Author: Sarah Jaffe
Narrator: Sarah Jaffe
From a social critic and journalist, a poignant book that encourages publicly grieving what we’ve lost in order to move towards a hopeful future. Our era is one of significant and substantial loss, of unraveling hopes and expectations, of dreams curtailed, of aspirations desiccated. At the same time, we are denied the means of mourning the futures that are being so brutally curtailed. At such a moment, taking the time to grieve is a radical act. Through in-depth reporting intertwined with memoir, Sarah Jaffe shows how public memorialization has become more than a refusal or a protest: it is a path to imagining a better world. When we are able to mourn the lives, the homes, and the worlds we have lost, we are better prepared to fight for a transformed future.

A stunning investigation and indictment of a segment of the United States’ foreign lobbying industry, and the threat to end democracy. For years, one group of Americans has worked as foot-soldiers for the most authoritarian regimes around the planet. In the process, they’ve not only entrenched dictatorships and spread kleptocratic networks, but they’ve secretly guided U.S. policy without the rest of America even being aware. And now, some of them have begun turning their sights on American democracy itself. These Americans are known as foreign lobbyists, and many of them spent years ushering dictatorships directly into the halls of Washington, all while laundering the reputations of the most heinous, repressive regimes in the process.

Drawing on extensive research and interviews with key figures in the space program, the authors convey the human drama and chart the technological marvels that went into the Apollo missions. They also put the accomplishments of American spaceflight into historical context, examining the competitive space race with the Soviet Union, the roles of politics and personality in launching the mission, and the consequences, practical and profound, of this giant leap for mankind.

Free Download Fiat Food: Why Inflation Destroyed Our Health and How Bitcoin Fixes It by Matthew Lysiak, Saifedean Ammous, The Saif House
English | March 27, 2024 | ISBN: B0CZ2H1KWV | 9 hours and 20 minutes | MP3 64 Kbps | 256 Mb
THE REAL COST OF INFLATION ON A COUNTRY can be best seen not through government-sanctioned data points circulated throughout the corporate sponsored media, but in the financial, physical, and mental health of its citizenry. Officials point to the increase of paper wealth as evidence that their stewardship in both the economy and nutrition has led to a rise in the quality of life. In reality, the past fifty years has seen the true standard of living for most Americans plummet. Debasement of the currency has left the American people poorer, and through the resulting degradation of the nutrients of their food supply, sicker than at any time in recent history. What follows is an examination of one of the most compelling "who done-its" in American history. In Fiat Food, Lysiak unravels a Description by the largest institutions of American power and the outsized ramifications it has had on modern civilization.
"IN TERMS OF THE LIVES CUT SHORT, it would be no exaggeration to say that 20th century nutrition science and government food policies are the biggest crime in history, putting genocides and man-made famines to shame. Matthew Lysiak provides a gripping forensic investigation into the barely believable sequence of events, spanning over a century, which led to the complete overhaul of the modern diet and the current obesity, diabetes, and autoimmune disease epidemic ravaging our species."-SAIFEDEAN AMMOUS Internationally Best-selling Economist and Author
