  How hedge funds make money by taking it from the rest of us—and how you can join them! 
   
   
   
  Top hedge fund managers make more than Oprah, Rupert Murdoch, and A-Rod combined—but they aren't running news and entertainment empires or playing baseball for the New York Yankees. Aren't you curious about how these hedge fund dudes make so much doing who knows what? You may even wonder if you can get there, too. After all, this is America! 
   
   
   
  This book gives you the answers in a twelve-step guide to accumulating vast riches the way hedge fund managers do—by playing trillion-dollar poker with a marked deck. Through each easy step, you'll learn the sleight of hand and disregard for basic morality you'll need to move from making tens of dollars an hour to millions an hour! Along the way, you'll also question whether these hedge fund moguls make markets work better—as they and their apologists insist—or cause instability, siphon off capital, and destroy value without adding so much as a single widget to the economy.

  What if the institution sworn to protect you is the greatest threat to your liberty? In this penetrating analysis, Ibnul Jaif Farabi dissects the true nature of political power, stripping away centuries of propaganda and accepted dogma to reveal the machinery of control. This is not a dry political treatise but a forensic examination of the most dominant and dangerous organization in human history. 
  Farabi's exploration spans from the philosophical foundations of authority to the practical mechanisms of taxation, legislation, and monopoly violence. He systematically analyzes the state's economic interventions, its psychological hold on the populace, and the historical myths used to justify its expansion. The inquiry covers social contract theory, property rights, the dynamics of bureaucracy, and the inevitable corrosion of civil society under centralized control. 
  Listeners will gain a powerful new framework for understanding current events, political rhetoric, and the silent erosion of personal autonomy. You will learn to identify the levers of state power in everyday life, recognize the false dichotomy of political choice, and arm yourself with intellectual tools for defending genuine freedom. This is an essential guide for critical thinkers seeking clarity in an age of engineered consent. 
  Prepare to have your deepest assumptions challenged and to see the world of power through an unforgiving new lens.

  The remarkable story of Fred Mayer, a German-born Jew who escaped Nazi Germany only to return as an American commando on a secret mission behind enemy lines.Growing up in Germany, Freddy Mayer witnessed the Nazis' rise to power. When he was sixteen, his family made the decision to flee to the United States—they were among the last German Jews to escape, in 1938.   In America, Freddy tried enlisting the day after Pearl Harbor, only to be rejected as an “enemy alien” because he was German. He was soon recruited to the OSS, the country’s first spy outfit before the CIA. Freddy, joined by Dutch Jewish refugee Hans Wynberg and Nazi defector Franz Weber, parachuted into Austria as the leader of Operation Greenup, meant to deter Hitler’s last stand. He posed as a Nazi officer and a French POW for months, dispatching reports to the OSS via Hans, holed up with a radio in a nearby attic. The reports contained a goldmine of information, provided key intelligence about the Battle of the Bulge, and allowed the Allies to bomb twenty Nazi trains. On the verge of the Allied victory, Freddy was captured by the Gestapo and tortured and waterboarded for days. Remarkably, he persuaded the Nazi commander for the region to surrender, completing one of the most successful OSS missions of the war. Based on years of research and interviews with Mayer himself, whom the author was able to meet only months before his death at the age of ninety-four, Return to the Reich is an eye-opening, unforgettable narrative of World War II heroism.
