Roma è sotto assedio. Un lungo assedio criminale che comincia già dopo la breccia di Porta Pia, con l’imponente lottizzazione e con gli scandali della Banca Romana; si rafforza con la presenza di mafiosi di caratura internazionale dediti allo spaccio di droga dopo la fine della Seconda guerra mondiale; si organizza con la comparsa della banda della Magliana e infine dilaga con l’inchiesta Mafia Capitale, che ha puntato i riflettori su un’associazione a delinquere arrivata al cuore della politica e dell’amministrazione capitolina, e che tuttavia la Corte di cassazione non ha ritenuto di qualificare come mafia.

"La gente ci descrive come fossimo dei mostri, delle persone senza scrupoli, come se ammazzassimo la gente così a caso. Non è vero. Sappiamo farlo quando serve. Io so essere cattivo, quando serve. Se non serve faccio la persona normale." Queste parole, pronunciate da un boss calabrese e intercettate dalla Direzione distrettuale antimafia di Milano, sono rappresentative della strategia che da almeno sessant'anni le mafie mettono in campo per infiltrarsi in maniera sempre più capillare nel tessuto socio-economico del nostro Paese."

Just as the political left uses the corporate media, academia, and the culture to advance their political agendas, they have found a new core American institution that they now exploit to expand their power: the legal system. Featuring Alex Marlow’s “prescient” (Tucker Carlson) insight, Breaking the Law effortlessly demonstrates how the American legal system has been weaponized against former President Donald Trump on purely political grounds.

Between 1995 and 2007, the Republic of Ireland was the worldwide model of successful adaptation to economic globalisation. The success story was phenomenal: a doubling of the workforce; a massive growth in exports; a GDP that was substantially above the EU average. Ireland became the world's largest exporter of software and manufactured the world's supply of Viagra. But there were two big problems....

A través de una amplia investigación hemerográfica, así como una buena cantidad de entrevistas con personajes clave dentro y fuera de los gobiernos capitalinos, Alejandro Almazán -tres veces ganador del Premio Nacional de Periodismo- hace un recuento a lo largo de las administraciones de las principales crisis políticas -las más mediáticas y algunas desconocidas- que han marcado el rumbo de la ciudad desde 1997.

The proud owner of a sprawling £14 million estate in the Cotswolds, boasting a stable of eventing horses, a fleet of supercars and neighbouring the royal family, Neil Woodford was the most celebrated and successful British investor of his generation. But, in 2019, after a stream of poorly judged investments, Woodford's asset management company collapsed, trapping hundreds of thousands of rainy-day savers in his flagship fund and hanging £3.6 billion in the balance.

This book reproduces tweets and retweets by Donald J. Trump from November 2, 2020, the day before Election Day, to January 8, 2021, the day Trump was banned from Twitter. This book also covers a controversial phone call by Trump and reproduces the major speeches Trump gave in January 2021. Many of these tweets were marked by Twitter with the disclaimer, “This claim about election fraud is disputed.” And indeed, many of Trump’s claims in his tweets about fraud or irregularities in the 2020 election are indeed disputed. The same goes for Trump’s claims in his phone call and speeches.

¿Qué se puede hacer cuando se sabe que las instituciones de un país las conforman personas despiadadas sin escrúpulos? ¿Qué se hace cuando la misma sociedad está integrada por ciudadanos que no sólo permiten, sino que llevan a cabo, participan, apoyan, sostienen, callan, esconden, encubren, ciento doce mil desapariciones de personas? ¿Con qué fuerza se sigue adelante? Y también, ¿cómo y por qué, a pesar de todo, se sigue luchando?

Five years ago, I asked myself: Was I living or just existing? This led me on a journey of deep research and discovery, both of the outer world around me and my own inner world. I realized a lack of understanding leads to a lack of fulfillment and purpose in life, so this audiobook is an honest assessment of hard-hitting questions about beliefs and traditions we as a species have held for eons.

Two centuries ago, London school reformer Joseph Lancaster swept into New York City to revolutionize its public schools. In Mr. Lancaster's System, Adam Laats tells the story of how this abusive, scheming reformer fooled the world into believing his system could provide free high-quality education for poor children. The system never worked as promised, but thanks to real work done by students, teachers, and families, Lancaster's failed reforms eventually led to the creation of the modern public school system.

Este libro cuenta la violencia de un narco rancho donde hacían rituales de santería y torturaban a secuestrados; de las comunidades indígenas que se resisten a dejar sus tierras a pesar de las amenazas; de las pandillas que le cortan los brazos a machetazos a la gente por no recibir la cuota; de quienes buscan a sus desaparecidos; de los migrantes en el calvario que viven al cruzar por México. Historias que coinciden en que el narco y su violencia son parte de su cotidianidad, pero en las que también hay espacio para la solidaridad y esperanza.

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.

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.

Why has land reform been such a failure in South Africa? Will expropriation without compensation solve the problem? What can be done to get the land programme back on track? Tembeka Ngcukaitobi tackles these questions and more. Going back in history, he shows how Africans’ communal land ownership was used by colonial rulers to deny that Africans owned the land at all. He explores the effect of the Land Acts, Bantustans and forced removals. And he considers the ANC’s policies on land throughout the 20th century, during the negotiations of the 1990s, and in government.

The coronavirus has been a disaster for America, but it’s been an unprecedented opportunity for the left. In They Never Let a Crisis Goes to Waste, Jason Chaffetz delves into progressive efforts to leverage crises to force their priorities into law. Whether the crisis is legitimate, fabricated, or exaggerated, the solution is always the same: more government, less individual freedom, higher spending, higher taxes.
