Government Corruption

En este audiolibro reafirmo mi postura de que la corrupción es el principal problema de México. Por esta razón, convoco a todos los mexicanos, mujeres y hombres, pobres y ricos, pobladores del campo y de la ciudad, religiosos o librepensadores, a construir un acuerdo nacional y a hacer de la honestidad una forma de vida y de gobierno. Con esta nueva forma de hacer política, y con un recto proceder, no hará falta aumentar impuestos ni seguir incrementando la deuda pública, y estoy seguro de que mejorarán las condiciones de vida y de trabajo.

Walter Eekhaut, a veteran of the Belgian police force who has a problem with authority, is dispatched to Amsterdam to aid the Dutch security service in investigating the activities of a well-connected Russian oligarch, with ties to Putin.

In Amsterdam, Eekhaut is seconded to Chief Superintendent Alexandra Dewaal and her team, and begins to learn about the city's shady underside.

Alan Dershowitz has been called “one of the most prominent and consistent defenders of civil liberties in America” by Politico.

The Plot to Destroy Trump exposes the deep state conspiracy to discredit and even depose the legitimately elected President Donald J.

One year into Donald Trump's presidency, the US 2016 presidential election is still being fought by both parties.

During the week of October 24, 2016, Hillary Clinton was decisively ahead of Donald Trump in many polls and, more importantly, in the battleground states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Then FBI Director James Comey sent his infamous letter to Congress on October 28, saying the bureau was investigating additional emails that may have been relevant to the Hillary Clinton email case.
