El narco inunda el país...excepto la Ciudad de México. Por increíble que parezca, ése ha sido el discurso oficial de todos los gobernantes que ha tenido la capital del país. Ningún jefe de gobierno, nunca, ha aceptado que los cárteles campean en el corazón de México. Este libro los refuta y evidencia el problema.

No es una pandilla, no es una célula de un grupo mayor ni tampoco una banda doméstica, sino un auténtico cártel que logró apoderarse del centro del país, justo en las narices de las más altas autoridades. ¿Cómo lo hizo? Ejerciendo una violencia como nunca se había visto, con el liderazgo de un hombre del que poco o nada se sabía, con una red de lavado poderosísima y la apatía de dos administraciones capitalinas.

El cártel de Sinaloa explica y detalla el mundo del narco: desde los pioneros del negocio como Pedro Avilés, los sicarios desalmados que matan gobernadores como el Gitano, policías corruptos al estilo Guillermo González Calderoni, hasta hechos sorprendentes como la expulsión masiva de chinos durante la segunda década del siglo XX, las primeras rutas trasnacionales de la cocaína, o la fuga de Joaquín el Chapo Guzmán.

In the depths of the Great Recession, a cancer nurse, a car dealership worker, and an insurance fraud specialist helped uncover the largest consumer crime in American history - a scandal that implicated dozens of major executives on Wall Street. They called it foreclosure fraud: Millions of families were kicked out of their homes based on false evidence by mortgage companies that had no legal right to foreclose.

AS SEEN ON WAR ROOM Ready for the ugly truth? Joe Biden and Barack Obama networked the Catholic Church into cartel human trafficking, schemed Ukraine into becoming a biological warfare threat against Russia, and collaborated with China to release the Wuhan Plandemic. Questioning Pope Francis? You are not alone. Catholics around the world are puzzled by a pope who has defiled the Church of Jesus Christ with his overt politics. Questioning Joe Biden? You are not alone. His toxic presidency and destructive relationship with Barack Obama ended in an old man’s whimper. Or was there more to it?

A myth built on money, media, and manipulation, Mirage of Genius dismantles the illusion of Donald Trump, from fake billionaire to post-truth president.

This book covers events from October 2020 to New Years Day 2021 that are directly related to the 2020 presidential election. Those events include revelations about the alleged corruption of Joseph R. Biden via his son Hunter Biden. That corruption was discussed during the Trump/ Ukraine impeachment proceedings of the year before. But much more information came out just prior to the 2020 election. However, the mainstream media (MSM) and Big Tech did their best to hide that potential corruption from the American public, so that it would not affect how they voted.

Between 1995 and 2007, the Republic of Ireland was the worldwide model of successful adaptation to economic globalisation. The success story was phenomenal: a doubling of the workforce; a massive growth in exports; a GDP that was substantially above the EU average. Ireland became the world's largest exporter of software and manufactured the world's supply of Viagra. But there were two big problems....

Los presidentes en Latinoamérica tienen muchísimo poder… para emboscar a sus rivales, complotar, ocultar y robar. Pero, contra lo que suele creerse, disponen de muy poco margen de maniobra para hacer el bien. ¿Quién ha logrado reducir de forma sustancial los índices de violencia, por ejemplo? ¿Alguien ha conseguido acabar con el crimen organizado, consolidar las instituciones democráticas, fortalecer los contrapesos del sistema político o reducir la pobreza de forma radical y duradera en el tiempo?

Esta es la historia de un abogado de los ricos que vivió siempre como rico, un hombre vinculado al PRIAN que históricamente se situó en la trinchera ideológica opuesta al obradorismo hasta que le resultó útil infiltrarse en el movimiento para satisfacer sus más irrefrenables ambiciones.

The last thirteen years of Conservative rule has seen turbulence at the centre of politics that is perhaps unique in British history. From coalition to Brexit, Covid to Partygate, Trussonomics to this year's election, our government has never felt so fractured. And as Prime Ministers have come and gone, one man has been at the heart of every leadership challenge, seeing all, but saying nothing. Until now.

Si hay algo más bajo que robar, es robarles a los pobres. El saqueo a Segalmex —compañía paraestatal que buscaba beneficiar a los más necesitados— fue el mayor caso de corrupción del sexenio de López Obrador, y uno de los más grandes de la historia mexicana. La Auditoria Superior de la Federación llegó a cifrar el desfalco en más de 15 mil millones de pesos. En esta investigación Zedryk Raziel y Georgina Zerega documentan la gigantesca corrupción en Segalmex mediante la revisión de cientos de denuncias, carpetas de investigación, auditorías, contratos e informes internos.
