Government Corruption

Though mankind has traded tangible goods for millennia, recent technology has changed the fundamentals of trade, in both legitimate and illegal economies. In the past three decades, the most advanced forms of illicit trade have broken with all historical precedents and, as Dark Commerce tells, now operate as if on steroids, tied to computers and social media. Author Louise Shelley examines how new technology, communications, and globalization fuel the exponential growth of dangerous forms of illegal trade and considers diverse ways of responding to this increasing challenge.

On September 26, 2014, 43 male students from the Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers' College went missing in Iguala, Guerrero, Mexico. According to official reports, the students commandeered several buses to travel to Mexico City to commemorate the anniversary of the 1968 Tlatelolco Massacre. During the journey, local police intercepted the students and a confrontation ensued. By the morning, they had disappeared without a trace. Hernández reconstructs almost minute-by-minute the events of those nights in late September 2014, giving us what is surely the most complete picture available.

Este es un libro lleno de rabia y amor perro por el México maltrecho que debemos rescatar. Es una crónica del hartazgo, del enojo con la cleptocracia que se rota en el poder, con los privilegios inmerecidos de los cómodamente apoltronados en la punta de la pirámide. Un país atorado en la desesperanza, en el desamparo, sofocado por la corrupción, amenazado por la violencia, sin soluciones fáciles.

In Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights, Brooklyn - neighborhoods notorious for drugs and violent crime - some of the worst criminals wore police uniforms and carried badges. Henry Winter was a good cop when he first entered the infamous 77th station house, which was already infamous as a home to the dregs of the NYPD. Before long he and fellow officer Anthony Magno found themselves deeply entrenched in the Alamo's culture of extortion, lies, corruption, and crime.

In The Snapping of the American Mind, veteran journalist and best-selling author David Kupelian shows how the progressive Left - which today dominates America's key institutions, from the news and entertainment media, to education, to government itself - is accomplishing much more than just enlarging government, redistributing wealth, and de-Christianizing the culture.

El 5 de septiembre de 2018, el New York Times publicó un artículo de opinión explosivo garantizando el anonimato de su autor. Descrito como «un alto funcionario dentro de la administración Trump», su autor explicaba que era testigo visual del caos dentro de la Casa Blanca, de la inestabilidad de la administración y de cómo la gente trabaja para controlar los impulsos temerarios de Donald Trump. Con las elecciones de 2020 en el horizonte, Anónimo ha vuelto a la carga.

El poder no es la causa de la corrupción, sólo ofrece la oportunidad para que la corrupción interior de quienes buscan el poder emerja. En Poder, política y cambio Osho analiza de dónde proviene esta "voluntad de poder" y su materialización tanto en la política como en nuestras relaciones cotidianas. En ese proceso ofrece una visión sobre los vínculos sociales y personales no basada en el poder sobre otros, sino en el reconocimiento de la singularidad de cada individuo.

A shocking expose of the Bill Clinton pardons and commutations issued after Hillary Clinton made it known she was running for the US Senate.

The gripping finale to Three Crooked Kings and Jacks and Jokers brings to a close Matthew Condon's best-selling true-crime trilogy. In 1983, the soon-to-be-knighted Police Commissioner Terry Lewis continues to turn a blind eye to the operation of The Joke, a highly organised system of graft payments from illegal gambling, prostitution and illicit drugs. As the tentacles of this fraudulent vice network spread, the fabric holding together the police, judiciary and political system starts to unravel.

The NHS is at crisis point. In the 75 years since it was founded on the dream of making healthcare accessible to everyone, its principles have been chipped away at and disregarded by successive political leaders.

This is the story of how I tried to get the Hunter Biden laptop evidence to the authorities.

Democracy is in crisis. Politicians lie gleefully, making wild claims that can be shared instantly with millions of people on social media. Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, Jair Bolsonaro and populists in many other countries are the beneficiaries. Democracy for Sale is a diligent, brilliant guide through a shadowy world of dark money and digital disinformation stretching from Westminster to Washington and far beyond.

Das Desaster der Deutschen Bahn ist kein Versehen. Es gibt Täter. Sie sitzen in Berlin. In der Bundesregierung, im Bundestag. Und seit Jahren im Tower der Deutschen Bahn. Kritik an der Deutschen Bahn bleibt oft stehen bei lustigen Englischfehlern, falschen Wagenreihungen oder ausfallenden Klimaanlagen. Doch die Malaise liegt im System: Seit der Bahnreform im Jahr 1994, nach der die Bahn an die Börse sollte, handeln die Bahn-Verantwortlichen, als wollten sie die Menschen zum Autofahrer erziehen. Arno Luik, einer der profiliertesten Bahn-Kritiker, öffnet uns mit seinem Buch die Augen.

The Plot to Destroy Trump exposes the deep state conspiracy to discredit and even depose the legitimately elected President Donald J. Trump with the fabricated Russian dossier, including: how the unsubstantiated accusations of collusion began with former MI6 agent Christopher Steele, Fusion GPS, and the Democratic National Convention on behalf of Hillary Clinton; the opportunistic role played by Russia’s FSB and former KGB agents, according to Putin’s strategy to create chaos in the West; and much more.

Contrary to what is commonly believed, authoritarian leaders who agree to hold elections are generally able to remain in power longer than autocrats who refuse to allow the populace to vote. In this engaging and provocative audiobook, authors Nic Cheeseman and Brian Klaas expose the limitations of national elections as a means of promoting democratization and reveal the six essential strategies that dictators use to undermine the electoral process in order to guarantee victory for themselves.

One year into Donald Trump's presidency, the US 2016 presidential election is still being fought by both parties. As the case of Russian hacking and collusion is investigated, and Hillary Clinton desperately attempts to explain what happened to her and why she lost, a more important question, one haunted by shadowy tactics and campaign double-dealing, rings out: what happened to Bernie Sanders?

Ex-Navy SEAL sniper Scott Taylor served his country for eight years. After he was injured in a fall during Operation Iraqi Freedom, Taylor came home - and discovered that the Obama administration was leaking sensitive intelligence information for political gain. Now, on behalf of all the men and women in uniform abroad whose lives have been endangered, Taylor is speaking out.

From the Tea Party to Occupy Wall Street, however divergentt heir political views, these groups seem united by one thing: outrage over a system of power and influence that they feel has stolen their livelihoods and liberties. Increasingly, protesters on both ends of the political spectrum and the media are using the word corrupt to describe an elusory system of power that has shed any accountability to those it was meant to help and govern. But what does corruption and unaccountability mean in today's world?

In the 2018 best seller The Case Against Impeaching Trump, Alan Dershowitz lamented how American political discourse has devolved into hypocrisy and the criminalization of political differences. Arguments to impeach Trump failed Dershowitz’s “shoe on the other foot test”, or his political golden rule: Democrats must do unto Republicans what they would have Republicans do unto them, and vice versa. Since then, we’ve only become more divided. The Case Against the Democratic House Impeaching Trump includes and expands upon Dershowitz’s 2018 book.

Many Americans still think of Joe Biden as an average guy who supports the working class. But in reality, he has carried out a destructive agenda against our entire system of freedom. He has fully embraced the Green New Deal agenda, along with woke sexual and racial politics, leading to a more divided and poorer country. His weakness on the international stage has created a perilous world. But the danger of Biden goes much deeper than these issues that are hurting us on a daily basis. For one of the first times in US history, we have a president whose motives we cannot trust.
