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.

A guerra contra o Brasil de que trata este livro não é do tipo convencional: não incendeia cidades nem utiliza bombas e mísseis. Para o consagrado sociólogo Jessé Souza, autor de A elite do atraso, as armas dessa guerra são o racismo, a subserviência da nossa elite econômica, a mentira, o fundamentalismo religioso e o fascismo latente da nossa tradição autoritária. Urdida e testada na sociedade americana, a guerra híbrida de que somos vítimas é uma estratégia baseada na manipulação de informações e na desestabilização de governos populares.

In 1776, the colonists declared Independence from England in large part due to the many onerous acts thrust upon them by parliament including the stamp act in 1765 the tea act in 1773. The combination of these burdensome Acts on the colonies coupled with “Intolerable Acts” that severely limited the colonists Liberties, America rebelled. America won her liberty finally in 1783, only to see American’s freedoms put in a permanent state of peril with the successful progressive class warfare argument that resulted in the 16th Amendment in 1913.

In An Uncivil War, Washington Post journalist Greg Sargent vividly lifts the curtain on the nightmare dynamic that is transforming American politics into little more than a naked power struggle. Yet An Uncivil War is not only a thorough dissection of an ultimately immoral system, but a handbook for turning that around by restoring authentic democracy. Given the incredibly high stakes in 2018 and 2020, Sargent’s book could not be more essential.

But now that the Citizens United decision has thrown out campaign spending limits as abridgments of free speech, Americans want to know what they can do about it.

Jahrzehntelang wurde über den zweitgrößten Staat Europas hinweggeschaut und Russland hofiert. Mit fatalen Folgen. Deutschland hat versagt, konstatiert die Osteuropa-Expertin Sabine Adler.

La manipulación de masas es un fenómeno que el poder político ha utilizado a lo largo de la historia. Nuestros tiempos no iban a ser una excepción, y la televisión, unida al fenómeno de las redes sociales y las masas de acoso, han conformado un tridente mortífero contra la verdad.
