The United States in Crisis: Citizenship, Immigration, and the Nation State argues that to preserve our freedom Americans must mount a defense of the nation state against the progressive forces who advocate for global government.

Die Erzeugung von Angst ist äußerst hilfreich, um Herrschaft zu etablieren und zu stabilisieren. Das ist spätestens seit Machiavelli bekannt. Doch wer von Angst überwältigt wird, kann nicht frei sein. Politische Angst unterhöhlt Rechtsstaat und Demokratie. In der "Coronakrise" ist dies durch den repressiven, Angst erzeugenden staatlichen Zugriff auf Individuen und Gesellschaft vielen Menschen bewusst geworden. Ulrich Teusch zeigt, wie wir die Methoden der Angsterzeugung erkennen, uns schützen und wehren können.

Vivimos en una época en la que los sentimientos prevalecen sobre la razón. El poder de las instituciones públicas, combinado con las masas de acoso, las redes sociales y los medios de comunicación conquista las mentes de los pueblos occidentales. El resultado es una sociedad dócil guiada por la desinformación y los dogmas impuestos, apenas cuestionados, como la igualdad, el cambio climático, el racismo, el intervencionismo estatal o el feminismo radical, siempre vigilados por el "Ojo que todo lo ve".

For over a decade, human rights journalist Agus Morales has journeyed to the sites of the world's most brutal conflicts and spoken to the victims of violence and displacement. To Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Central African Republic. To Central America, the Congo, and the refugee camps of Jordan. To the Tibetan Parliament in exile in northern India. We are living in a time of massive global change, when negative images of refugees undermine the truth of their humiliation and suffering.

We are a nation founded on the ideals of coming together across differences to forge a common future. Yet over the past 50 years, our economy has been pulling us apart at unprecedented rates.

The idea that the three branches of US government are equal in power is taught in classrooms, proclaimed by politicians, and referenced in the media. But, as David Siemers shows, that idea is a myth, neither intended by the Founders nor true in practice. Siemers explains how adherence to this myth normalizes a politics of gridlock, in which the action of any branch can be checked by the reaction of any other. The Founders, however, envisioned a separation of functions rather than a separation of powers. Siemers argues that this view needs to replace our current view.
