Discover the leaders of the Knights Templar, the fiercest warriors of the Church during the Crusades, from beginning to end. The Knights Templar is one of history’s greatest mysteries. They began as a completely transparent, public apparatus of European Christendom in the Middle Ages but eventually transformed into what many would regard as a secret society. Leading the Knights throughout these changes were their Grand Masters. These men were military as well as spiritual masters who led by their own example.

The disinformation age is drowning us in a deluge of data, "facts" and opinion. It consumes our attention. The result of this deficit of attention is the rise of fake news, media bias, and a polarised society. Our capacity to reason what is happening in the world and to make better decisions has become incapacitated amid the cacophony. Instead, we outsource our thinking to others without even realising it. Economist Peter Sainsbury unravels the truth about the power of media narratives, the breakdown in trust and why our attention has been diverted from what matters. 

Stripping away the hype, this book describes how, when, and why media violence can influence children of different ages, giving parents and teachers the power to maximize the media's benefits and minimize its harm.

Using occult doctrine cited from Freemasonry, Kabbalah, and Gnosticism; Isaac guides the listener through the symbolism of the concepts most frequently discussed by the conspiracy theory community.

What was once an Orwellian fable is now our reality. Even though our ancestors were controlled by the ruling elite comprised of royalty and religions, they would not recognize what has become of our world today and amazingly very little has in fact changed. The difference is, we believe we are free, when in truth we are controlled, manipulated, and cajoled into action or inaction. We are bled dry of our money, time, lives, and even our very souls.

Recounts the story of America’s last great newspaper war between the New York Daily News and the New York Post, as both papers’ long rivalry turned existential amid the rise of digital news. The story is told through the eyes of the reporters, or “runners”, and photographers who fought the war on the ground in cities across America.

In Hunting Girls, Kelly Oliver examines popular culture's fixation on representing young women as predators and prey and the implication that violence - especially sexual violence - is an inevitable, perhaps even celebrated, part of a woman's maturity. In such films as Kick-Ass (2010), The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), and Maleficent (2014), power, control, and danger drive the story, but traditional relationships of care constrict the narrative. Even the protagonist's love interest adds to her suffering.

Dark psychology is the name for the latest trend: Finding out about the dark side of human nature. In this guide to that deception, we will touch on that dark side and how it is used. We will go over some conspiracies and conspiracy theories that are creepier than you might think. Along with this, we’ll discuss what brainwashing is, how it is applied, and how governments and cults have used it to persuade others to do what they want them to do.

Guardrails starts with False Prophets, a short treatise explains how conspiracy theories are used to reinforce the big deceptions. It describes how free-thinkers are routinely brought back into the paddock. Many well-intentioned truthers have unwittingly helped to bury the very truth. And just what is the truth buried by the conspiracy theories? Simple. The truth is, the media is not reporting factual events to inform you; they are reporting stories to conform you.

It seeks to explain this perfect storm of money, technology, and partisanship that has created two entirely separate news spheres: a small, enclosed circle for the right wing and a sprawling expanse for everyone else. This leads to two sets of facts, two narratives, and two loudly divergent political sides with extraordinary anger all around. Based on extensive interviews with leading media figures and politicos, this book traces the development of the media machine, giving suggestions on how to restore our national dialogue while defending our right to disagree agreeably.

In March of 1827 the nation's first black newspaper appeared in New York City - to counter attacks on blacks by the city's other papers. From this signal event, The African American Newspaper traces the evolution of the black newspaper - and its ultimate decline - for more than 160 years until the end of the 20th century.

This book focuses on the constant tension between democracy and conspiratorial behavior in the new global order. It addresses the prevalence of conspiracy theories in the phenomenon of Donald Trump and Trumpism, and the paranoid style of American politics that existed long before, first identified with Richard Hofstadter.

But first, we must look to the past, to examples of movements throughout American history that successfully harnessed communications technology, thus facilitating positive social change.

I vaccini? Provocano l'autismo. Le scie degli aerei? Veleno per alterare il clima. Gli attacchi dell'11 settembre? Una messinscena degli americani. La Luna? Non ci siamo mai andati. La Terra? È piatta. Ciò che fino a ieri era considerato da tutti vero e accertato, all'improvviso viene messo in discussione, mentre in molti ambiti della vita i fatti perdono sempre più valore a favore di credenze irrazionali, pregiudizi e cospirazioni.

Questo libro fornisce degli spunti precisi di riflessione su base scientifica descrivendo il confronto tra scienza conosciuta e sostenitori della Terra piana. Le argomentazioni sono numerose: la curvatura della Terra mai dimostrata, la teoria della relatività di Einstein rimasta tuttora tale, scienziati volutamente ignorati perché scomodi alle teorie più accreditate, le implicazioni della N.A.S.A. nelle sofisticazioni dei video relativi alle missioni Apollo e alla ISS, il vuoto dello Spazio mai testato, sei dei sette defunti astronauti dello Shuttle esploso nel 1986 ritrovati in vita.

Zwanzig Minuten hat Christian Sievers in einer "heute"-Sendung, um über das aktuelle Weltgeschehen zu berichten - und muss dabei erklären, zusammenfassen, weglassen. In diesem Hörbuch erzählt er die Geschichten hinter der Nachricht. Gerade in den Krisengebieten dieser Welt stößt er auf Unerwartetes, Überraschendes, Verwirrendes: Humor neben Hass, Mut in der Katastrophe, Propaganda mit Augenzwinkern und Lügner, die den Wert der Wahrheit predigen. Eine verunsicherte Medienwelt steht vor der Herausforderung, all diesen Facetten der Story gerecht zu werden.
