  In Foundations, Karin Speedy takes us on a whirlwind journey through time and space as she navigates intersecting personal, local, family and global histories, stories that help her reckon with who she is and where she stands in this complicated (post)colonial world. If colonialism, slavery, violence and heartbreak feature heavily in her memoir so too do friendship, love, poetry, books, music, laughter and resistance. Warm, funny, quirky yet also confronting and, at times, shockingly brutal, her childhood and young adult memories bring to life the scenes and sounds of 70s, 80s and 90s New Zealand. At university, Karin's unquenchable thirst for knowledge and social justice see her embark on her first research project, a decolonial study of Louisiana Creole, research that cements her future as an anti-racist, activist scholar. Forever questioning the master narratives, digging deeper and peeling back layers to expose what lies hidden beneath and behind, Karin reminds us that history and trauma are all around us, ingrained in our lives, etched into our landscapes and at the very foundations of our cities and infrastructure. When she begins to examine her own family stories, rooted in colonisation and working-class struggle and embedded in the national histories of Aotearoa and Australia, she uncovers astonishing inter-generational palimpsests and starts to grasp the importance of listening to her ghosts.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. What explosive truths have been deliberately hidden from public knowledge throughout history? Rachel Thornfield investigates documented cases of institutional deception in this gripping audiobook about secrets kept by governments, corporations, and organizations worldwide. Discover verified cover-ups that changed the course of history and the methods used to suppress inconvenient information from public awareness. Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, Thornfield separates documented conspiracies from unfounded conspiracy theories, focusing on cases with substantial evidence. Learn how classification systems, media manipulation, and official denial have concealed everything from health dangers to political crimes effectively. This guide examines the psychology of institutional secrecy and why organizations reflexively hide embarrassing or incriminating information from scrutiny. Understand the patterns that allow cover-ups to succeed and the circumstances that eventually expose them to public knowledge. Thornfield provides frameworks for evaluating claims of hidden information and recognizing legitimate whistleblower revelations versus speculation. Whether you are interested in political history, investigative journalism, or simply want to know what has been kept from you, this audiobook delivers substantiated revelations. Stop dismissing all alternative narratives as conspiracy theories and start distinguishing evidence-based investigations from speculation accurately. Perfect for critical thinkers who want documented truth rather than official stories or paranoid fantasies about hidden hands controlling everything secretly.

  The Birth of the Palestinian Nation

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. In the pre-dawn hours of April 9, 1948, five weeks before the establishment of the State of Israel, members of the underground organizations Etzel and Lehi attacked the Arab village of Deir Yassin near Jerusalem. By the end of the battle, the myth of a massacre had taken root, becoming a catalyst for a previously undefined Palestinian national consciousness. 
   
  Historically, the Arabs of Palestine saw themselves as part of the broader Arab nation. Israeli military historian Dr. Uri Milstein identifies Deir Yassin as a turning point, when Palestinian Arabs began to develop a distinct national identity, driven in part by fear sparked by this narrative. 
   
  The Deir Yassin story also became a foundational myth for the Israeli left, as David Ben-Gurion’s leadership used accusations of a massacre in political struggles against right-wing figures like Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir. 
   
  Drawing on archival materials and eyewitness accounts, Dr. Milstein examines what happened in Deir Yassin, alongside two documented massacres of the period: the killing of Jewish medical personnel in Jerusalem and the massacre of Arabs in Ein Zaytun in the Upper Galilee. He analyzes how the Deir Yassin narrative evolved and who benefited from its spread. 
   
  Dr. Milstein, an Israeli historian and former paratrooper, served as the official historian of the paratroops and taught military history at the IDF’s Command and Staff College.
