Government Corruption

David Olson, a retired US Air Force Master Sargent, provides a gripping and detailed account of not only the conspiracy regarding the Minot AFB, but the lengths the government may go to in covering it up. Further, it includes a compelling collection of accretions of scandals that plagued the Obama administration.

It was a program conceived in secret by a group of men. Some were doctors; others were military officers and government officials—all with top-secret security clearances. They called it the Similar Likeness Project, and it would serve as the foundation for an enigma that would soon become one of the greatest mysteries in history. The project’s carefully curated children would be secret weapons—trained, assessed, and groomed to perfection. If they were needed for a mission, they would be brought into the fold. If not, they would live a normal life without even knowing the difference.

A nivel nacional e internacional, persiste la noción de que las instituciones policiacas de México son corruptas. Nada menos, en el léxico del trasiego de drogas la Policía Federal era sinónimo de operadores y peones de narcotraficantes. Las acciones de muchos agentes la desacreditaron,al grado de que muy pocos mexicanos confiaban en esta institución creada presuntamente para garantizar la seguridad nacional. Sin embargo, en su historial también existen misiones exitosas que concluyeron con la detención de importantes capos o la resolución de casos que llevaban tiempo sin ser atendidos.

In the heated days shortly before the 2020 presidential election, a news story appeared in the New York Post detailing how Hunter Biden used the position and influence of his father, now President Joe Biden, for personal gain, with President Biden’s awareness.

It’s rare that a campaign season has anything like an IRS whistleblower and a California US attorney saying they were blocked from pursuing charges, foreign wire transfers of millions of dollars going to several members of politician’s family, suspicious slap-on-the-wrist plea deals, mounds of incrimination texts, a previously unacknowledged child with a stripper, and multiple congressional investigations. It’s unprecedented to have them all tied to one politician like Joe Biden.

Britta Nielsen, en betroet medarbejder i Socialstyrelsen, blev i 2018 landskendt for at overføre næsten 121 mio. kr. til sig selv af de satspuljemidler, Folketinget har afsat til samfundets mest udsatte borgere. Svindlen foregik gennem 25 år, men ingen kolleger eller chefer anede uråd. Og ingen savnede de penge, som forsvandt. Emil Herskind var afdelingschef i Socialministeriet og fik ansvaret for at håndtere sagen. Det var ham, der skulle afdække sagens omfang og få socialministeren helskindet gennem forløbet.

È possibile amministrare bene Roma? No. Perché è altrettanto impossibile amministrare bene l'Italia. Nella capitale questa realtà si tocca con mano perché, a un insieme di regole assurde, che condiziona la vita di tutti i Comuni, le Regioni e gli enti locali, si somma una città con una geografia, un'estensione, una struttura istituzionale e burocratica tali da renderla ingovernabile anche per un politico ben intenzionato. Inoltre la presenza sul territorio urbano di tutti gli uffici pubblici e le sedi centrali di associazioni di categoria del Paese rende il quadro ancora più caotico.

Sí podía saberse lo que iba a ocurrir si Andrés Manuel López Obrador llegaba a la Presidencia. Bastaba observar, poner atención, seguir los pasos que fue dando desde sus orígenes como soldado priista. Eso es justamente lo que ha hecho Pablo Hiriart desde hace 34 años: señalar y documentar cada una de las afrentas que la democracia mexicana ha soportado a manos del fundador de Morena.

I've believed for many years that the powers that be (whoever they are) who control most everything in America have worked overtime to turn the American Law Enforcement Officer into little more than a tool for the shadow government: a way to get around The Posse Comitatus Act.

En México, la corrupción de las grandes empresas es igual o peor que la de los gobernantes: algunas corporaciones no sólo mueven toneladas de dinero para burlar la ley, sino que lo hacen con total impunidad. Prácticamente nadie investiga o castiga a las transnacionales que reparten sobornos. Este libro—ganador del Premio de Periodismo Javier Valdez Cárdenas 2019—rompe el círculo vicioso de silencio y simulación y les pone nombre y apellido a las compañías señaladas por malas prácticas, explica los esquemas de la transa y las razones de la impunidad desatada.

The NHS is at crisis point. In the 75 years since it was founded on the dream of making healthcare accessible to everyone, its principles have been chipped away at and disregarded by successive political leaders.

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.

Approximately 200,000 women and girls were forced into sexual slavery during World War 2. They were also known as comfort women, a translation of Ianfu(慰安婦), the Japanese term for "comforting, consoling woman." Although most of the women came from Korea, women from other occupied regions such as Burma, China, Philippines, Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaya, Manchukuo, Taiwan, New Guinea, Portuguese Timor, and the Dutch East Indies were also taken into the military sexual slavery.
