Thank you so much for creating this audiobook! It’s an important document and the people appreciate you taking the time and care to make this. Hats off to you good sir!
Your voice sounds amazing! Im trying to also do audiobooks, but my voice always sounds kinda bad, do you have any advice? It would be much appreciated :)
Thank you for the compliment! The Parametric Equalizer effect in Audition is the biggest gamechanger for how my voice sounds, other than that, I think it's just practice, trying to put emotion behind your voice the way the author intended, working on enunciation, things like that. If you gesture with your hands as you speak, it can help with this.
Thank you for making this! I am usually hesitant about audiobooks (especially more diy ones) since people's voices tend to bother me lol, but your voice is good!

Thanks for making this, its an interesting book, even if presented like a series of loosely related blog posts from the 90s. I would appreciate it more if it stuck to proven allegations. The author brings up a few pizzagate level conspiracy theories; for example, the author presents the conspiracy theory that the US used biological warfare in the Korean war as if it were established fact, when there is a ton of non-partisan evidence that it was a rumor that grew out of control and was seized on for propaganda purposes. The book doesn't bother to present the fact that this allegation has still not been satisfactorily answered. Blum also tends to treat every situation as a good guy vs bad guy situation, where the US agency is always the bad guy attacking the innocent, this extends into obviously bad guy vs bad guy scenarios. "Saddam Hussein was instigated to attack Kuwait and hence he is not at fault", he's also apologetic to other unethical empire builders - "Tibet is historically part of China", et al. It makes the whole book seem less honest when I catch it presenting theories as facts, and acting as if the US is the only empire on the planet that can act unethically, and everyone else is innocent victims. Blum is occasionally presenting a highly prejudiced reading of history that doesn't give proper weight to complex and nuanced situations. which is a shame because it truly does present many under-discussed facts.
15 minutes in and sadly looking suspiciously like a pro Communist excuse whilst forgetting about the tedious Molotov -Ribbentrop Pact and carve up of Finland, Poland Rumania and so on ... Onwards we go but I hope it gets better and explains Collectivisation, Holodomor , The Terror and other wonderful policies that killed far more than Uncle Adolf ever envisaged....
@@DaveSCameron You know this is not what this book is about. It's about the mass murders in Indonesia, genocide in Guatemala, the Bodo league massacres and operation condor. Typical of you ignoring that the Chinese and Slavs were starving regularly long before any communism, the Bengal famine and the white terror in finland.
@@DaveSCameron you are offended that a book called: U.S. Military and CIA Interventions since World War II to not mention leftists wrongdoings, which is equivalent to people being offended that the gulag archipelago doesn't mention anything from what I have mentioned in my previous comment.
@kireznerol5170 again we're talking at cross purposes, I didn't say that the book offended me I suggested that I was you and your notion of what you believed I was talking about so either get with it or move on please Sir.

Thank you for making this audiobook. It was incredibly well made, despite not being recorded by a studio. It should be compulsory reading at schools.
