Download or read book Obstruction of Justice written by Luke Rosiak and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-01-29 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigative reporter Luke Rosiak is being hailed as “one of the smartest, most diligent reporters in Washington” (TUCKER CARLSON) and “a bulldog” (DANA LOESCH) for uncovering “what is possibly the largest scandal and coverup in the history of the United States House of Representatives” (NEWT GINGRICH). It’s like something out of a spy novel: In the heat of the 2016 election, an unvetted Pakistani national with a proclivity for blackmail gained access to the computer files of one in five Democrats in the House of Representatives. He and his family lifted data off the House network, stole the identity of an intelligence specialist, and sent congressional electronic equipment to foreign officials. And that was only the beginning. Rather than protect national security, Congress and the Justice Department schemed to cover up a politically inconvenient hack and an underlying fraud on Capitol Hill involving dozens of Democrats' offices. Evidence disappeared, witnesses were threatened, and the supposed watchdogs in the media turned a blind eye. Combining tenacious investigative reporting and high-tech investigative techniques, Luke Rosiak began ferreting out the truth, and found himself face to face with the "Deep State," observing how Nancy Pelosi's Democrats manipulated the Department of Justice, the media, and even Republican leadership to sabotage the investigation into what Newt Gingrich calls possibly the biggest congressional scandal in history.
Download or read book The New York and New England Railroad written by Gregg M Turner and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Railroads were the first big business enterprises of America and made possible many other industries. They knitted our expansive nation together and ably transported people, materials, supplies, goods, and mail. Literally hundreds, if not thousands, of railroads were built in the United States during the nineteenth century. Among the more colorful was the New York and New England Railroad, which connected Boston with the Hudson River via the uplands of Connecticut. If ever a company had its share of trials and tribulations it was this firm. Yet its fascinating, topsy-turvy past is today largely forgotten. This work brings to life how the New York and New England Railroad evolved from humble beginnings to becoming a potent transportation force. Meticulously researched with many period images and a lively text, our journey begins in the 1840s and lasts until the late 1890s. Climb aboard for a special trip into this unique chapter of American railroad history!
Download or read book The British Roots of the Deep State Exposed written by Matthew Ehret and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tension caused by a clash in two opposing world views has resulted in a potential unseen for many decades and which carries with it the foundations both for great hope in a beautiful future for all mankind but also the danger of thermonuclear war and chaos. Historically, these two opposing currents were known as "republican-humanist" one the one hand and "imperial-oligarchical" on the other. Today's expression of this historic conflict is represented by the resurgence of nationalist leaders defending "multi-polar" world models based upon cooperation around common goals versus a "unipolar" Hobbesian model of "managed chaos". The former has taken expression with China's 2013 announcement of the "New Silk Road' (aka: Belt and Road Initiative) which has united with Russia's Eurasian Economic Union which together with the BRICS and Shanghai Cooperation Organization have taken a collective stand against the neo-liberal/neo-conservative order which has threatened to bring about world war III. These nations have committed to a system defined by long term thinking, great infrastructure projects and unbounded growth both on the earth and in space. China's successful landing on the far side of the moon during the opening days of the New Year signify not only a shift to this unbounded program, but also a pathway for cooperation and renewal of NASA's purpose- as the landing occurred with historic cooperation between China and NASA and accompanied a new Lunar Gateway program announced by the USA.This alliance has challenged the latter unipolar forces which have come to be known since the 2016 election of Donald Trump as the Supranational "Five Eyes/Deep State" and as this edition of the Patriot will prove, is the same technocratic "invisible empire" established by Rhodes Scholars and Fabians in the aftermath of Lincoln's victory over the British-sponsored confederacy.The lesson which we hope that you take from this issue is that the Deep State is neither American nor even British, as far as "nation states" are concerned. It is not motivated by concerns of "national interest" or the wellbeing of people or elected governments. Even though monetary profit plays a role in its manipulation of society, such considerations are but means to higher ends, and not ends in and of themselves. The system directing the "Deep State" is oligarchical and represents a direct continuity of the same system which British colonists in America declared independence from in 1776, and which Abraham Lincoln stood against when he declared that the principles of Monarchy and Slavery run hand in hand. It is the same system that Cecil Rhodes and Lord Milner established at the turn of the 20th century which was designed to re-conquer America and other nations which had found a "disturbing taste" for independence, and American modelled systems of progress and "win-win cooperation".By tracing its history, motives and methods through the perspective of its control of British Canada (the sole Monarchy of the Americas) we hope to give the reader a wider perspective of the forces shaping our current world trajectory both in time and in space with the faith that with understanding comes power and responsibility to act in accordance with our conscience. Nothing less should be considered the basis for our rights to be considered citizens rather than mere subjects.
Download or read book Against Apocalypse written by Fred Dallmayr and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-12-24 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book denounces the irresponsible recklessness of some geopolitical agendas which are pushing the world relentlessly toward a major global war, and possibly toward nuclear destruction or apocalypse. The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists has recently placed the "Doomsday Clock" at three minutes to midnight. Signs pointing toward a possible grand disaster are multiple: everywhere one looks in our world today one finds ethnic and religious conflicts, bloody mayhem, incipient genocide, proxy wars and "hybrid" wars", renewal of the Cold War. Add to these ills global economic crises, massive streams of refugees, and the threats posed by global warming - and the picture of a world in complete disorder is complete. Thus, it is high time for humankind to wake up. Starting from the portrayal of global "anomie", the book issues a call to people everywhere to oppose the rush to destruction and to return to political sanity and the quest for peace. This is a call to global public responsibility. In ethical terms, it says that people everywhere have an obligation to prevent apocalypse and to "maintain" our world or "hold the world together" in all its dimensions - including the dimensions of human and social life, natural ecology, and human spiritual aspirations (or openness to the divine). Differently out: in lieu of the prevailing disorder and brokenness, the book urges us to search for a new "wholeness" and just peace. The book is intercultural and also inter-disciplinary. Since the aim is holistic - to hold the world together - the book necessarily has to draw on many disciplines: including philosophy, theology, social science, history, and literature. In terms of Western philosophical and intellectual legacies, it draws mainly on the teachings of Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Derrida. It also offers a completely new interpretation of the work of Thomas Hobbes, unearthing in this work an ethical demand to exit from the state of perpetual warfare in the direction of a shared commonwealth. The text also relies on the teachings of Christian theology (both Catholic and Protestant), invoking at crucial junctures the works of Karl Barth, Raimon Panikkar, and others. In terms of non-Western intellectual and spiritual legacies, the book offers new interpretations of leading texts in the Indian and Chinese traditions. Thus, emphasis is placed on the ideas of "world maintenance" (loka-samgraha) in Hinduism and of "All-Under-Heaven" in classical Chinese thought. Although a central thrust of the text is for a new wholeness, the goal is not a uniform synthesis where everything would be swallowed up in a bland unity. Rather the issue is how to preserve diversity of the world in its rightful integrity, by linking all elements in a complex web of interconnections and "relationality".
Download or read book Dangerous Thinking in the Age of the New Authoritarianism written by Henry A. Giroux and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giroux probes the depth and range of forces pushing the United States into a new form of authoritarianism, one that connects the Orwellian surveillance state with the forms of ideological control made famous by Aldous Huxley. Addressing how neoliberalism, or the new market fundamentalism, is shaping a range of registers from language and memory to youth and higher education, Giroux explores how education in a variety of spheres is transformed into a type of miseducation perpetuated through what he calls a "disimagination machine"-one that reproduces the present by either distorting or erasing the past. But Giroux is not content to focus on how matters of politics, subjectivity, power, and desire are colonized through forms of miseducation; he is also concerned with the educative nature of politics as the practice of freedom and how the emphasis on critique must be matched by a politics and discourse of resistance, hope, and possibility. This becomes particularly evident in his chapters on Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn. Thinking Dangerously makes clear that at the heart of the struggle for a radical democracy is the reviving of the radical imagination as the basis for new forms of political and collective struggle. Probing these issues through a series of interrelated essays and important interviews, Giroux provides an accessible, layered, and sustained example of how thinking dangerously is central to and connected with the struggle over the radical imagination and the fight to fulfill the promise of a radical democracy.
Download or read book The State in North Africa written by Luis Martinez and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since independence, revolts and riots in North Africa have structured relations between society and the state. While the state has always managed to restore order, the unexpected outbreak of the Arab Spring revolts has presented a real challenge to state stability. Taking a long-term historical perspective, this book analyses how public authorities have implemented policies to manage the Maghreb's restive societies, viewed at first as 'retrograde' and then as 'radicalised'. National cohesion has been a major concern for post-colonial leaders who aim to build strong states capable of controlling the population. Historically, North African nations found colonial oppression to be the very bond that united them, but what continues to hold these communities and nation-states together after independence? If public interest is not at the heart of the state's actions, how can national loyalties be maintained? Luis Martinez analyses how states approach these questions, showing that the fight against jihadist groups both helps to reconstruct essential ties of state belonging and also promotes the development of a border control policy. He highlights the challenges posed by fragile political communities and weak state instruments, and the response of leaders striving to build peaceful pluralistic nations in North Africa.

Download or read book When Texas Prison Scams Religion written by Michael G. Maness and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2023-05-22 with total page 683 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Texas Prison Scams Religion exposes corruption in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, especially in the abuse of religion. In many ways, this book is a literature review of 1,800-plus works that defends freedom of conscience in prison while exposing the unconstitutionality of the seminary program that “buys faith with favor” from prisoners. The state veritably ordains the prisoner a “Field Minister” that represents the offices of the Governor, TDCJ Director, and wardens throughout the prison. Therein, TDCJ lies about neutrality in a program all about Christian missions and lies again in falsely certifying elementary Bible students as counselors. Why is the director sponsoring psychopaths counseling psychopaths? In fact, TDCJ pays $314 million a year to UTMB for psychiatric care and receives not a single report of the care given, and worse, for UTMB generates no reports itself. The underbelly TDCJ’s executive culture of cover up is exposed. TDCJ has hired the lowest qualified of the applicant pool many times in the last 25 years and regularly destroys statistics on violence. TDCJ Dir. Collier led the prison to model Louisiana Warden Burl Cain, the most scandal-ridden in penal history according to a host of published news stories for 20 years. Therein, Collier led TDCJ to favor the smallest segment of religious society within Evangelical Dominionism. Texas has no business endorsing the truth of any religion over another. We close with a proposal that utilizes the 400,000,000 hours of officer contact over ten years as a definitive influence in contrast to a commissioner that spends less than 10 minutes on each decision. Maness has been lobbying Austin for 15 years to definitively access staff for his “100,000 Mothers’ 1% Certainty Parole Texas Constitutional Amendment,” which would revolutionize prison culture and save Texans millions of the dollars.

Presenting a range of original insights, this book is invaluable to understanding the inner workings of the contemporary Iranian state.
Download or read book The Mind Body Politic written by Michelle Maiese and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-28 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on contemporary research in embodied cognition, enactivism, and the extended mind, this book explores how social institutions in contemporary neoliberal nation-states systematically affect our thoughts, feelings, and agency. Human beings are, necessarily, social animals who create and belong to social institutions. But social institutions take on a life of their own, and literally shape the minds of all those who belong to them, for better or worse, usually without their being self-consciously aware of it. Indeed, in contemporary neoliberal societies, it is generally for the worse. In The Mind-Body Politic, Michelle Maiese and Robert Hanna work out a new critique of contemporary social institutions by deploying the special standpoint of the philosophy of mind—in particular, the special standpoint of the philosophy of what they call essentially embodied minds—and make a set of concrete, positive proposals for radically changing both these social institutions and also our essentially embodied lives for the better.
