El cártel de Sinaloa explica y detalla el mundo del narco: desde los pioneros del negocio como Pedro Avilés, los sicarios desalmados que matan gobernadores como el Gitano, policías corruptos al estilo Guillermo González Calderoni, hasta hechos sorprendentes como la expulsión masiva de chinos durante la segunda década del siglo XX, las primeras rutas trasnacionales de la cocaína, o la fuga de Joaquín el Chapo Guzmán.

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.

America is on the brink of collapse. What will you do to save your country? America has suffered some big losses - eroding morals, a Godless culture, and a declining national spirit.

Les fake news no són un fenomen nou: els governs, els partits polítics, els mitjans de comunicació i les grans corporacions --o els monopolis d'informació equivalents en cada època-- sempre n'han fet ús interessat. No és sospitós, doncs, que les polítiques i les reformes normatives que s'estan proposant per combatre-les criminalitzin les noves tecnologies i, en canvi, no facin el mateix amb els que s'han dedicat a produir notícies falses des de sempre?

True prosperity - thriving economically - is possible for all humanity, but common myths prevent us from achieving it. The primary barrier to prosperity is not in language, culture, religion, race, natural resources, or geography. The far greater obstacle is the systemic and individual corruption on the part of leaders who are free to steal without punishment.

La manipulación de masas es un fenómeno que el poder político ha utilizado a lo largo de la historia. Nuestros tiempos no iban a ser una excepción, y la televisión, unida al fenómeno de las redes sociales y las masas de acoso, han conformado un tridente mortífero contra la verdad. Mientras el ojo de la población estaba inmerso en la pandemia del Covid-19, hemos asistido al mayor espectáculo de manipulación de masas del último siglo en nuestro país, en el que se ha privado al ciudadano de una información que podría haber evitado el desastre.

In this daring exposé, Don Blankenship reveals how far the government will go to keep its dirty secrets, even if it means disparaging deceased miners and sending innocent Americans to prison. Using government documents, witness testimony, and science, Blankenship pieces together the Obama-Biden administration’s responsibility for the explosion. Blankenship explains how the government used prevarication, lies, and document destruction to bury the truth.

It is no secret that the 2016 United States presidential election was one of the closest, nastiest, and most contentious in the history of the country. The narrow victory of Donald J. Trump was an unprecedented upset, to say the least. The Republic Party winnowed a field of 17 candidates down to a real estate developer and reality television star who appealed to large segment of the public that felt ignored by the established powers.

La organización de las Naciones Unidas o como comúnmente se le denomina la ONU, ha sido desde su creación hace más de medio siglo un auténtico foco de conflictos. A pesar de haber sido creada después del II Segunda Guerra Mundial en 1945 con la intención de poder solucionar cualquier conflicto transnacional, con el paso de los años aquel sueño romántico se ha convertido en una pesadilla real, mastodóntica en su organización y cara, muy cara.

"The Mueller Report" is the official report documenting the findings and conclusions of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian efforts to interfere in the US presidential election of 2016, allegations of conspiracy between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and Russia, and allegations of obstruction of justice. It was submitted to Attorney General William Barr on March 22, 2019, and a redacted version was publicly released by the Department of Justice on April 18, 2019.

The real collusion in the 2016 election was not between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin. It was between the Clinton campaign and the Obama administration. The media-Democrat “collusion narrative”, which paints Donald Trump as cat’s paw of Russia, is a studiously crafted illusion. Despite Clinton’s commanding lead in the polls, hyper-partisan intelligence officials decided they needed an “insurance policy” against a Trump presidency.

But once the ink had dried on the constitution, Ramaphosa found himself politically sidelined.
