Dieses Hörbuch ist kein Thriller, sondern eine Diagnose. Es entlarvt die organisierte Staatskriminalität als Fundament eines Systems, das sich "Demokratie" nennt, aber längst wie ein perfektionierter Polizeistaat funktioniert. Hinter dem Vorhang von Rechtsstaatlichkeit arbeitet eine Maschinerie aus Uniformen, Paragraphen und Befehlsketten, die nicht den Bürger schützt, sondern die Machtzentren des Staates. Die Exekutive überwacht nicht nur Straßen und Plätze, sondern auch Gedanken, Bewegungen und Lebensräume.
