Seriously, I was screwing around looking for some guitar tabs and a link to Plan 9 from Outer Space to torment the assorted Defeatists and Malcontents when I discovered this...The Internet Archive.
Links to tons of material including things like this concert by the Derek Trucks Band with Susan Tedeschi. With download capability. Tons of material, including films, books, broadsheets and tons of other things. There are some drawbacks, of course -- copyrighted material is in scant supply. But, if you want to scan a collection of Lincoln's sayings and speeches, well, check this... Or want to watch a cheesy film with a gal with bazookas, try this, The Outlaw by auteur Howard Hughes.
I look forward to looking thru The Internet Archive. In return, I found a blogger who you might like, in your Defeatist style.

Here is his comment on Wall Street where he compares most Wall Street senior executives to psychopaths:
