Histoire
For generations, everything has been getting faster, better, and cheaper. Finally, we reached the point that almost anything you could ever want could be sent to your home within days—even hours—of when you decided you wanted it. America made that happen, but now America has lost interest in keeping it going. Peter Zeihan maps out the next world: a world where countries or regions will have no choice but to make their own goods, grow their own food, secure their own energy, fight their own battles, and do it all with populations that are both shrinking and aging.

Histoire
When we think about the future of war, the military and Washington and most everyone gets it backwards. We think in terms of buying single military systems, such as fighter jets or aircraft carriers. And when we think about modernizing those systems, we think about buying better versions of the same things. But what really matters is not the single system but "the battle network" - the collection of sensors and shooters that enables a military to find an enemy system, target it, and attack it.

The most important fact about the coronavirus pandemic that turned the world upside down in 2020 is that our response to it has been an epic overreaction driven by a disastrous confluence of public and private interests - all of them purporting to “follow the science”. Since the lockdowns began, millions of Americans have relied on the reporting of Alex Berenson. Exposing the hysteria and manipulation behind the worst failure of public policy since World War I, this clear-eyed journalist has been a critical source of reason and truth.

In the chaos following World War II, the US government faced many difficult decisions, including what to do with the Third Reich's scientific minds. These were the brains behind the Nazis' once-indomitable war machine. So began Operation Paperclip, a decades-long, covert project to bring Hitler's scientists and their families to the United States. Many of these men were accused of war crimes, and others had stood trial at Nuremberg; one was convicted of mass murder and slavery.

It is now in vogue to celebrate non-Western cultures and disparage Western ones. Some of this is a much-needed reckoning, but much of it fatally undermines the very things that created the greatest, most humane civilization in the world. In The War on the West, Douglas Murray shows how many well-meaning people have been fooled by hypocritical and inconsistent anti-West rhetoric.

While debates about border security continue to rage, and with stories about legal and illegal marijuana in the news daily, Hidden War forces an astonishing dose of reality into the public consciousness. California game warden Lt. John Nores, Jr., now retired, has been at the forefront of an under-reported battle against thousands of Mexican drug cartel members who grow toxic marijuana on US soil, frequently on public lands, and sometimes remarkably close to population centers. Who would guess that this struggle is even going on, or that game wardens are on the front lines?

Over two grim nights in Los Angeles, the young followers of Charles Manson murdered seven people, including the actress Sharon Tate, then eight months pregnant. With no mercy and seemingly no motive, the Manson Family followed their leader's every order. Twenty years ago, when journalist Tom O'Neill was reporting a magazine piece about the murders, he worried there was nothing new to say. Then he unearthed shocking evidence of a cover-up behind the "official" story, including police carelessness, legal misconduct, and potential surveillance by intelligence agents.

The runaway success of the microchip processor may be reaching its end. Running up against the physical constraints of smaller and smaller sizes, traditional silicon chips are not likely to prove useful in solving humanity’s greatest challenges, from climate change, to global starvation, to incurable diseases. But the quantum computer, which harnesses the power and complexity of the atomic realm, already promises to be every bit as revolutionary as the transistor and microchip once were.

It wasn't until he moved to the UK that Kisin found himself thriving in an open and tolerant society, receiving countless opportunities he would never have had otherwise.

Histoire
In 1908, near Folsom, New Mexico, a cowboy discovered the remains of a herd of extinct giant bison. By examining flint points embedded in the bones, archeologists later determined that a band of humans had killed and butchered the animals 12,450 years ago. This discovery vastly expanded America's known human history but also revealed the long-standing danger Homo sapiens presented to the continent's evolutionary richness. Distinguished scholar Dan Flores's ambitious history chronicles the epoch in which humans and animals have coexisted in the "wild new world" of North America.

Description
This program includes an author's note read by the author.
An unflinching investigation reveals the human rights abuses behind the Congo’s cobalt mining operation—and the moral implications that affect us all.
Cobalt Red is the searing, first-ever exposé of the immense toll taken on the people and environment of the Democratic Republic of the Congo by cobalt mining, as told through the testimonies of the Congolese people themselves. Activist and researcher Siddharth Kara has traveled deep into cobalt territory to document the testimonies of the people living, working, and dying for cobalt. To uncover the truth about brutal mining practices, Kara investigated militia-controlled mining areas, traced the supply chain of child-mined cobalt from toxic pit to consumer-facing tech giants, and gathered shocking testimonies of people who endure immense suffering and even die mining cobalt.
Cobalt is an essential component to every lithium-ion rechargeable battery made today, the batteries that power our smartphones, tablets, laptops, and electric vehicles. Roughly 75 percent of the world’s supply of cobalt is mined in the Congo, often by peasants and children in sub-human conditions. Billions of people in the world cannot conduct their daily lives without participating in a human rights and environmental catastrophe in the Congo. In this stark and crucial audiobook, Kara argues that we must all care about what is happening in the Congo—because we are all implicated.

Would be great if it had a good person reading it.
The content is really good, but it sounds like an AI robot similar to Alexa is reading to me. The reader offers no emotion and it's actually hard to follow because there is no high or lows, or even depth in the voice. I am very disappointed; considering I pre-ordered. I wish the author would read it.

A Wake Up Call
Cobalt is the stabilizing element that gives rechargeable batteries their long life. It is mined in Congo by children, bonded laborers, and artisanal miners--a euphemism for miners working under hazardous conditions for little pay and at great personal risk.
This book is stunning in the human experiences it conveys and the horrors of an industry in which all tech companies are involved and actively engaged in denying the slave conditions of the cobalt industry.

Interesting read
The author, echoing the missionaries of the early 20th century, exposes in detail the exploitation that the Congo and its inhabitants undergo to meet the "needs" of the rich countries. His stated objective is to highlight this situation in hope that it changes.
The book is very well written and the author's journey interesting to follow. The audio version is very good. One can only hope that he is right and that it will open the eyes of the world. Personally, however, I remain sceptical that it will achieve this...
The many "artisans" interviewed say they survive thanks to God, ultimately they are probably right to believe more in him than in man in view of their life on this earth. This book, in the end, comes accross as a pretty large nail in the coffin of secular humanism...

I've seen the villages nearby, I can't begin to applaud the with Siddharth has done. Thank you for your work, I hope that people listen, not just check a block and donate two dollars. Throwing charity at it won't fix this. This is a major systemic issue that needs actual focus and support.

Courage
Siddharth courageously investigates one of the most shameful aspects of our addiction to technology for the sake of it. For the Congolese little has changed since King Leopold, except that their masters are now Asian. Lumumba was wrong about the "West": he forgot that greed and the complete disregard toward fellow humans being are universal and have nothing to do with origin, race or political system.

Although this book brought tears to my eyes, it was written beautifully and illustrates the horrors of artisan mining in the DRC. It’s a harsh reality that everyone should know about as I write this review on my smartphone. We all play a role in these atrocities , though indirectly . Siddharth Kara is a voice for the forgotten people of the cobalt belt.

Very Enlightening - and Extremely Brave
It's gut-wrenching to hear of the impact that cobalt mining has on the groups of people portrayed in this book. To sit here listening to an Audiobook - on a smartphone - and have to cope with the realization that the demand for technology in the developed world is causing the outsourcing the brutal treatment of others to these extreme levels is horrible. Thank you so much to the very brave individuals that helped to get this information heard, and even more so to those that risked so much by speaking with your team.

Devastating Truth
I’m devastated. Yet I’m typing this on my iPhone and am not sure I’ll stop using it. I’m a heart sick hypocrite I guess. But I’m so glad I listened to this book, and am ready to advocate for change. Thank you Siddharth Kara for putting your heart and soul into this book on behalf of the people of Congo and the Copperbelt - and all of us who would never sign off on these abuses. We deserve better from Apple and Tesla and others. The people of Congo deserve so much better - life in all its fullness. May the sequel be conducted by thousands of bloggers and podcasters who conduct interviews with Silicon Valley elites and uncover the ugly truth being perpetrated here at home to make this nightmare possible. We are all responsible.
