On December 18, 2019, President Donald J. Trump became just the third president in US history to be impeached by the House of Representatives. And then, on January 13, 2021, he became the first president to be impeached twice. In Endgame, Congressman Eric Swalwell offers his personal account of his path to office all the way to House impeachment manager and how he and his colleagues resisted, investigated, and impeached a corrupt president.

Though mankind has traded tangible goods for millennia, recent technology has changed the fundamentals of trade, in both legitimate and illegal economies. In the past three decades, the most advanced forms of illicit trade have broken with all historical precedents and, as Dark Commerce tells, now operate as if on steroids, tied to computers and social media. Author Louise Shelley examines how new technology, communications, and globalization fuel the exponential growth of dangerous forms of illegal trade and considers diverse ways of responding to this increasing challenge.

On September 26, 2014, 43 male students from the Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers' College went missing in Iguala, Guerrero, Mexico. According to official reports, the students commandeered several buses to travel to Mexico City to commemorate the anniversary of the 1968 Tlatelolco Massacre. During the journey, local police intercepted the students and a confrontation ensued. By the morning, they had disappeared without a trace. Hernández reconstructs almost minute-by-minute the events of those nights in late September 2014, giving us what is surely the most complete picture available.

Penguin Audio presents Damaged Goods, by Oliver Shah. In March 2015, British businessman and the chairman of Arcadia Group Sir Philip Green sold BHS for £1 to Retail Acquisitions, owned by Dominic Chappell, a serial bankrupt who filed BHS for administration shortly after. By April 2016, BHS had debts of £1.3bn, including a pensions deficit of £571m. Damaged Goods follows Green's journey to the big time, the sale of BHS and the subsequent investigation that concluded with Green paying £363m to the Pensions Regulator.

Give Us More Guns, based on hundreds of interviews with police, experts, and the gangsters themselves, tells the story of this callous crime for the first time. Mark Shaw explores how the guns get into the hands of South Africa’s crime bosses and describes the bloodshed that ensues. He also uncovers accounts of rampant corruption within the police and in the state’s gun-licensing system, probing the government failure that has been instrumental in arming the country’s gangsters.

Alan Dershowitz has been called “one of the most prominent and consistent defenders of civil liberties in America” by Politico. Yet he has come under partisan fire for applying those same principles to Donald Trump during the course of his many appearances in national media outlets as an expert resource on civil and constitutional law. The Case Against Impeaching Trump seeks to reorient the debate over impeachment to the same standard that Dershowitz has continued to uphold for decades: the law of the United States of America, as established by the Constitution.

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.

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.

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.

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....

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.

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.

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.

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.
