Psychiatrist Mark McDonald diagnoses our country as suffering from a mass delusional psychosis, driven by a pandemic of fear in response to COVID-19.
As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded, LA-based psychiatrist Mark McDonald grew increasingly concerned by the negative mental health effects he witnessed among his patients – and Americans nationwide. These negative effects – stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, domestic violence, suicidal ideation – were all directly traceable to the climate of fear being stoked by public health authorities and irresponsibly amplified by national media. These fears in turn drove a hysterical overreaction from government in the form of draconian lockdowns and mask and vaccine mandates of questionable value. But the fear did not abate and quickly took on a life of its own, becoming an unstoppable force in all our lives.

While America has focused on building fighter jets, missiles, and conventional warfighting capabilities, its three principal rivals – Russia, Iran, and China – have increasingly adopted irregular warfare: cyber attacks, the use of proxy forces, propaganda, espionage, and disinformation to undermine American power.

From Michael Wolff, author of the explosive, number one best seller Fire and Fury, comes the mesmerizing story behind the most bizarre melt-down in recent American political history.
The decline and fall of Rudy Giuliani, from "America’s Mayor" to public spectacle, has all the makings of a modern Shakespearean tragedy. Those who know Giuliani, whose tough leadership and even tougher politics helped revitalize New York City in the 1990s and lead the country through 9/11, have stood by and watched with incredulity as he put himself at the heart of impeachment charges against the President.

The Short Story A Very Short Introduction


Free Download The Short Story: A Very Short Introduction by Andrew Kahn, Mike Cooper, Tantor Audio
English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B09QH6P5TY | MP3@64 kbps | 4h 19m | 124 Mb
What defines a modern short story is much more than a question of length. Despite the efforts of early pioneers like Edgar Allan Poe, the genre was originally synonymous with the anecdote or tale and seen more as entertainment than art. However it has become far more than that, and this Very Short Introduction considers afresh the form’s ongoing innovations in Description construction, capacity for psychological insight, and ability to offer intensely concentrated perceptions.
This book charts the rise of the short story from its original appearance in magazines and newspapers. For much of the 19th century, tales were written for the press, and the form’s history is marked by engagement with popular fiction. From the later 19th century, the short story earned a reputation for its skillful use of Description design and character study. After the First World War it found outlets in high-brow publications, and single-author collections, as well as anthologies.

The Origins of Totalitarianism


Free Download The Origins of Totalitarianism by Hannah Arendt, Nadia May, Blackstone Audio, Inc.
English | 2007 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0010BA7RE | M4B@64 Kbps | Duration: 23:23 h | 637 Mb
A recognized classic and definitive account of its subject, The Origins of Totalitarianism traces the emergence of modern racism as an "ideological weapon for imperialism," begining with the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe in the nineteenth century and continuing through the New Imperialism period from 1884 to World War I.
In her analysis of the institutions and operations of totalitarian movements, Arendt focuses on the two genuine forms of totalitarian government in the twentieth century: Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia, which she adroitly recognizes as two sides of the same coin rather than opposing philosophies of the Right and Left. From this vantage point, she discusses the transformation of classes into masses, the role of propaganda, and the use of terror essential to this form of government. In her brilliant concluding chapter, she discusses the nature of individual isolation and loneliness as preconditions for total domination.
