Transplant laws, restricting access to lungs based on arbitrary age restrictions, meant Sarah's options were limited. The injustice of her daughter's fate spurred Janet to start a public battle against outdated health-care regulations and a battle to save Sarah's life.

Every day, innocent men across America are thrown into prison, betrayed by a faulty justice system, and robbed of their lives - either by decades-long sentences or the death penalty itself. Injustice tarnishes our legal process from start to finish. From the racial discrimination and violence used by backwards law enforcement officers, to a prison culture that breeds inmate conflict, there is opportunity for error at every turn.

Perhaps nothing is more unfair in America than the vast chasm between the haves and the have-nots. Tax policy, as practiced in the US, consists basically of tinkering around the edges. It concludes and argues that only a small tax on wealth is fair and how elimination of all other taxes and fees will result in a more perfect free-market economy, elimination of government's borrowing at the expense of future generations, and a society more like the ideals expressed in the Declaration of Independence. It also discusses what it will take to bring about such a taxation revolution.

American consumers demand choice. The assortment of products in American stores is beyond belief to anyone from the Third World. So why are only two choices for anything political acceptable to Americans? It seems totally illogical. It reminds me of the illogical change in behavior of an addict. These are people who are normal in seemingly every way yet give up everything and everyone in their lives for a drug which is a short-term high, and self-destructive. How can that be? Research has convinced me it's more than coincidence.

Nach einer langen Zeit, die eher von politischer Sprachlosigkeit geprägt war, ist nun eine Zeit des politischen Brüllens und Niedermachens angebrochen. Doch wo verläuft die Grenze zwischen konstruktivem demokratischen Streit und einer Sprache, die das Gespräch zerstört, die ausgrenzt, entmenschlicht? Mit viel Leidenschaft erinnert Robert Habeck in Wer wir sein könnten daran, dass die Frage, wie wir sprechen, entscheidend ist für die Gestaltungskraft unserer Demokratie.

A community of rock quarry miners in a village in Uttar Pradesh, India, gave their tiny cluster of thatched roofed houses the name Azad Nagar. Freedomville. But it hasn't always been identified by that auspicious moniker. The miners renamed their village in 2000, after they staged a revolt that overthrew the profit-driven landowners who held their families in debt bondage for generations. But the complex story of Freedomville, the murder that these revolutionaries nearly got away with, and the short-lived freedom its inhabitants created has never before been told until now.

American politics seems to grow more contentious and complicated by the day, and whether American democracy works well is hotly debated. Amidst all this roiling partisan argument and confusing claims and counterclaims, there has never been a greater need for an impartial primer on the basics of the American political system.

Márton Békés, Kulturfunktionär und rechter Theoretiker, erläutert den spezifischen historisch-sozialen Hintergrund, der die Ära Orbán möglich machte, und wie es gelang, diese von einer bloßen Amtszeit zu einer regelrechten Epoche auszubauen. Geschult am italienischen Philosophen Antonio Gramsci denkt Békés die gewohnte "neurechte" Vision der kulturellen Hegemonie einmal in entgegengesetzter Richtung: Denn in Ungarn gab es keine dissidente Langzeitstrategie, die die öffentliche Meinung formte und dem Fidesz-Sieg den Boden bereitete.

Des agents nazis ont été capturés et retournés puis utilisés par les Britanniques principalement pour diffuser de fausses informations à leurs officiers-traitants allemands.

Among a people where democracy and consequently capitalism prevails, one is meant to lobby for a people or project or policy and or position primarily to advance one’s interest that relatively advances the interests of majority at least or all at most.

Heute geht es um die Menschenzüchter, in Fachkreisen Regierungen, Politiker oder einfach dystopische Endzeitsekten genannt, die im Hintergrund agieren und inzwischen die ganze Welt beherrschen. Viele wird interessieren, welche Strategien sie in der Evolution der Sklaverei entwickelt haben, um ihr Eigentum besser kontrollieren und steuern zu können. Was haben sie sich, auf ihre To-do-Listen geschrieben, um die Menschen so zu kontrollieren und zu verändern, dass sie ihre Gefangenschaft und den Verlust ihrer Freiheit nicht mehr in Frage stellen, und ihre Gefangenschaft fast schon als gottgegeben ansehen.

The United States is being divided and conquered from the inside. Our political infrastructure has evolved to divide us, so we can’t solve our problems. This audiobook describes how we got here and the various reforms that can be implemented at the state and local level to reverse this divisiveness.

When tough-on-crime laws passed 30 years ago during an era of drug-fueled violence, they were supported across the political spectrum. The subsequent "war on drugs" sent non-violent offenders to prison for decades and, in some cases, life. As a result, the nation's prison and jail population today is 2.3 million, more than quadruple the number that were incarcerated in 1980. One in 100 adults is behind bars in America.

A Tale of Two Economies details the ongoing battle between the material and the monetary economies. The good news is that the development of modern technology in our material economy has us on the brink of prosperity. The bad news is that a turf war over the money supply in our monetary economy is destroying our prospects for enjoying this success. Thus, we have rampant inflation and a growing gap between the rich and the poor today.
