Most people believe the Federal Bureau of Investigation began under J. Edgar Hoover in the 1920s or 1930s. Many also naturally assume it was developed for the express purpose of fighting crime. However, the reality is very different. The reality is it began years earlier, in 1908, under President Theodore Roosevelt. In The Birth of the FBI, Willard Oliver details the political fight that led to the birth of America's premier law enforcement agency.

"Disruption". Mélange de rupture et de révolution, à la fois rapide, brutale et inéluctable. Ce terme qualifie de plus en plus l'époque actuelle, propulsée par les progrès technologiques. Des secteurs entiers, établis solidement depuis des années, disparaissent très rapidement, remplacés par des acteurs plus petits, plus agiles, plus efficaces, moins chers, moins arrogants. Ces acteurs de la disruption, nous les connaissons : ce sont Uber, Airbnb, Netflix, et bien d'autres. Tout est disruptable.

Weak, corrupt, and politically unstable, the former Soviet republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan are dismissed as isolated and irrelevant to the outside world. But are they?

Yet Central Asia's international activities are mostly hidden from view, with disturbing implications for world security.

Mike Lofgren is back with a book perfectly pitched for the frenzied circus of the primaries. His argument this time is that for all of the backstabbing and money grubbing of the campaign season, the politicians we elect have as little ability to shift policy as Communist party apparatchiks. Welcome to Mike Lofgren's Washington, DC - a This Town where the political theater that is endlessly tweeted and blogged about has nothing to do with actual decision making.

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.

Using examples of government corruption from one of the most troubled US states, the authors warn that until all citizens unite in opposition to, and the exposing of, all government corruption, nothing in our society will change, and our government of the people, by the people, and for the people will continue to hurt the people it was intended to help.
