  Formation of the United Nations...

  On November 29, 1943, as the Allies’ primary leaders met in Tehran, Roosevelt described to Stalin his idea for the organization that would become the United Nations. The American president suggested that the active arm of the organization be “the Four Policemen”: the U.S., USSR, UK, and China. Stalin agreed with much of the framework in principle, but asserted that China likely would not possess the strength after the war to assist. He also noted that the “Policemen” must hold a series of strong points, putting Germany and Japan at too much of a disadvantage to attempt military adventurism again. Roosevelt, eager to please his “friend,” agreed with everything Stalin said.  
  	That exchange might be considered the origin of the United Nations, one of the most famous bodies in the world, but the concept was already in existence in the form of its predecessor, the League of Nations. At the end of World War I, President Woodrow Wilson's pleas at the Paris Peace Conference relied on his Fourteen Points, which included the establishment of a League of Nations, but while his points were mostly popular amongst Americans and Europeans alike, leaders at the conference largely discarded them and favored different approaches. British leaders saw their singular aim as the maintenance of British colonial possessions. France, meanwhile, only wanted to ensure that Germany was weakened and unable to wage war again, and it too had colonial interests abroad that it hoped to maintain. Britain and France thus saw eye-to-eye, with both wanting a weaker Germany and both wanting to maintain their colonies. Wilson, however, wanted both countries to rid themselves of their colonies, and he wanted Germany to maintain its self-determination and right to self-defense. Wilson totally opposed the “war guilt” clause, which blamed the war on Germany.

  Buda's Wagon - A Brief History...

  The brilliant and disturbing 100-year history of modern terrorism and car bombs—the ubiquitous weapon of urban mass destruction 
   
  On a September day in 1920, an angry Italian anarchist named Mario Buda exploded a horse-drawn wagon filled with dynamite and iron scrap near New York's Wall Street, killing forty people. Since Buda's prototype the car bomb has evolved into a "poor man's air force," a generic weapon of mass destruction that now craters cities from Bombay to Oklahoma City. 
   
  In this provocative history, Mike Davis traces the its worldwide use and development, in the process exposing the role of state intelligence agencies—particularly those of the United States, Israel, India, and Pakistan—in globalizing urban terrorist techniques. Davis argues that it is the incessant impact of car bombs, rather than the more apocalyptic threats of nuclear or bio-terrorism, that is changing cities and urban lifestyles, as privileged centers of power increasingly surround themselves with "rings of steel" against a weapon that nevertheless seems impossible to defeat.

  This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
   
  The great Manly P. Hall once said: “To live in the world without becoming aware of the meaning of the world is like wandering about in a great library without touching the books.” 
   
  Magic is key to understanding our existence and Manly P. Hall knew this. It is is much more than the tricks of a children’s entertainer. Magic is all there is. In fact the word comes down to us originally from Old Persian and means “to have power”. Understanding true magic brings us power. 
   
  There are many things we can learn from our foray into the world of magic. Of these many things, this film will focus in on the mystical world, the magical world, the strange and wonderful. Within magic we will find reality like never before. It is the very fabric of the universe in which we live out our lives. 
   
  For us to be able to understand magic, we have to understand the science behind the fabric of existence. It is within the mind expanding complexities of quantum physics that we will discover the truth behind the secrets of magic that our ancestors searched for. Knowledge is magic and magic is powerful. 
   
  Prepare to be empowered.

  Drawing Fire - Investigating the...

  Benjamin Pogrund, who spent 26 years as a journalist in South Africa investigating apartheid and who has been living in Israel for the past 15 years, investigates the accusation that Israel is practicing apartheid and the motives of those who make it. His study is founded on a belief in Israel, combined with frank criticism, to provide a balanced view of Israel’s strengths and problems.  To understand Israel today, one must first look at the past and so the book first outlines key foundational events to explain current attitudes. It then explores the contradictions found in the region, including discrimination against Israeli Arabs and among Jews, before concluding that it is wrong to affix the apartheid label to Israel inside the Green Line of 1948/1967. It also deconstructs the criticisms of Israel and the boycott movement before arguing for two states, Israeli and Palestinian, as the only way forward for Jews and Arabs.  This detailed and balanced study offers a unique comparison between South Africa a
