Secret Societies of World War Two

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
Some say that both the world wars were the result of a massive, world-wide conspiracy by an illusive secret society known as the illuminati. Others say the wars were really all part of the same grand European power struggle between the old world and the new, between royalty, politicians, communists and capitalists. Others say it was just a series of unfortunate events. 
 
What is the truth? Do men plot? Yes they do. Are there secret organisations that have manipulated society and even brought about war? Yes there are. Did they create the first and second world wars? Yes they did. Are they behind the rise of the Nazi Party? Yes. 
 
The history of world war two is incomplete. A massive element has been left out of the history books. The role of secret societies.

The Care of the Self - Volume 3...

Michel Foucault

Michel Foucault takes us into the first two centuries of our own era, into the Golden Age of Rome, to reveal a subtle but decisive break from the classical Greek vision of sexual pleasure. He skillfully explores the whole corpus of moral reflection among philosophers (Plutarch, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, Seneca) and physicians of the era, and uncovers an increasing mistrust of pleasure and growing anxiety over sexual activity and its consequences.
