Titoli in Libertà e sicurezza

Una investigación explosiva que desvelará la historia de España, desde el 23-F y la caída de la UCD hasta el felipismo y la consolidación de José María Aznar. La fuente de este riguroso y minucioso trabajo de investigación periodística es el archivo personal de Emilio Alonso Manglano, director del CESID entre 1981 y 1995: sus agendas, sus cuadernos de notas y los informes de inteligencia que guardó: una investigación de varios años repleta de secretos y ocultismo sobre el contenido de más de 200 kilos de documentos que desentrañan la historia nunca contada de España.

Cómo la policía nos pone en peligro y por qué necesitamos encontrar una alternativa. En los últimos años se ha producido una explosión de protesta contra la brutalidad y la represión policial, sobre todo en Ferguson, Misuri, donde estallaron quejas de larga data en violentas manifestaciones tras el asesinato policial de Michael Brown. Entre activistas, periodistas y políticos, la conversación sobre cómo responder y mejorar la policía se ha centrado en la rendición de cuentas, la diversidad, la capacitación y las relaciones comunitarias.

Abolition for the People brings together 30 essays representing a diversity of voices - political prisoners, grassroots organizers, scholars, and relatives of those killed by the anti-Black terrorism of policing and prisons. This collection presents listeners with a moral choice: “Will you continue to be actively complicit in the perpetuation of these systems,” Kaepernick asks in his introduction, “or will you take action to dismantle them for the benefit of a just future?”

Un fantasioso, colorato e soprattutto ironico girotondo intorno a chi sta fermo in piedi per discriminare. Sono nati così i Sentinelli, per colorare le strade di Milano e del mondo delle molte sfumature dei diritti, per rispondere al buio che sta calando sul presente. In queste pagine la voce collettiva dei Sentinelli di Milano disegna una mappa della strada percorsa e ancora da percorrere verso un futuro inclusivo per tutti e per tutte.

This book reveals how China has used the US-led Global War on Terror as cover for its increasingly brutal suppression of the Uyghur people. China’s actions, it argues, have emboldened states around the globe to persecute ethnic minorities and severely repress domestic opposition in the name of combatting terrorism. Within weeks of the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington, the Chinese government announced that it faced a serious terrorist threat from its largely Muslim Uyghur ethnic minority.

Freiheit ist die Grundbedingung gelingender Gesellschaften. Diese Erfolgsformel scheint leichtfertig in Vergessenheit zu geraten. Mit Sorge beobachtet Hans-Jürgen Papier, wie unsere einst hart erkämpften Freiheitsrechte Stück für Stück beschnitten werden. Für den ehemaligen Präsidenten des Bundesverfassungsgerichts gilt: Auch und gerade in Krisenzeiten, bei der notwendigen Sicherstellung von Gesundheit, beim Schutz vor Bedrohungen durch Terrorismus, Klimawandel und wirtschaftliche Krisen darf die Freiheit nicht aufs Spiel gesetzt werden.

In On Property, Rinaldo Walcott explores the long shadow cast by slavery’s afterlife and shows how present-day abolitionists continue the work of their forebears in service of an imaginative, creative philosophy that ensures freedom and equality for all.

Award-winning author Mark Gober explains why the institution of government - a monopolistic body with which citizens have no explicit contractual relationship - is inherently hazardous to our freedom. He explores an alternative governing framework that stresses the importance of private-property rights and voluntary exchanges and examines the potential to privatize the government’s poorly managed public sector.

Ottobah Cugoano’s tumultuous life put him in a unique position to testify to the horrors of slavery on many important levels. Though some of the details of his biography remain obscure (he disappeared from public record in 1791), he provides vivid testimony here about his own kidnapping on the Gold Coast at the age of thirteen; his repeated sale and transport across Africa, and eventually across the Atlantic Ocean; his experiences as part of a chain gang in the West Indies; and the way in which he managed to purchase his freedom.

For more than a century, activists in the United States have tried to reform the police. From community policing initiatives to increasing diversity, none of it has stopped the police from killing about three people a day. Millions of people continue to protest police violence because these “solutions” do not match the problem: The police cannot be reformed. In Becoming Abolitionists, Purnell draws from her experiences as a lawyer, writer, and organizer initially skeptical about police abolition.

Home is, in effect, the ideological autobiography of LeRoi Jones/Amiri Baraka. The two dozen essays that constitute this book were written during a five-year span - a turbulent and critical period for African Americans and Whites. The Cuban Revolution, the Birmingham bombings, Robert Williams’s Monroe Defense movement, the Harlem riots, the assassination of Malcolm X...each changed the way Jones/Baraka looked at America. This progressive change is recorded with honesty, anger, and passion in his writings.

Oleg Penkovsky était un colonel du GRU soviétique arrêté et condamné pour avoir transmis à l'Ouest une multitude de secrets sur les armes nucléaires soviétiques et sur son service d'espionnage. Son arrestation donna lieu à un procès à grand spectacle. Lors de la crise des missiles de Cuba, il donna au MI6 l'information que l'URSS ne disposait en réalité que de très peu de missiles nucléaires stratégiques et que leur fiabilité était douteuse. Les États-Unis possédant un millier de missiles, Kennedy tint tête à Khrouchtchev.

Sidney Reilly est un espion travaillant pour le SIS britannique au début du XXe siècle. Considéré comme leur meilleur agent à cette époque, il est exécuté par la police politique soviétique de l'époque, la Guépéou. Parlant plusieurs langues, il était charismatique et brillant, tout en étant d'humeur changeante. Conscient de son image, il en aurait profité pour faire mousser ses exploits. Pour plusieurs collègues du SIS, il était un playboy qui menait une vie luxueuse, tout en exploitant les femmes à ses propres fins.

Enigma est une machine électromécanique portable servant au chiffrement et au déchiffrement de l'information. Elle fut inventée par l'Allemand Arthur Scherbius, reprenant un brevet du Néerlandais Hugo Koch, datant de 1919. Son utilisation la plus célèbre fut celle faite par l'Allemagne nazie et ses alliés, avant et pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la machine étant réputée inviolable selon ses concepteurs.

Le projet MK-Ultra, dévoilé en 1975, est le nom de code d'un projet secret illégal de la CIA des années 1950 à 1970 visant à développer les techniques de manipulation mentale. Il semble que ce projet ait connu plusieurs évolutions et ait vu le développement de sous-projets et des projets parallèles. D'une manière générale, ce projet repose sur les mécanismes de dissociation psychologique des sujets, que celle-ci soit induite volontairement ou déjà présente. Il s'agit dans le projet MK-Ultra d'utiliser cette dissociation pour provoquer des comportements.

Durante casi un siglo de existencia, el Servicio Secreto de Inteligencia (SIS), conocido también en el mundo del espionaje como el MI6 o la "Firma", ha desarrollado una de las mayores labores en la tarea de recolección de información y operaciones de espionaje a lo largo y ancho de todo el planeta, siempre en defensa de los intereses del Imperio Británico y a las órdenes del Gobierno de Su Majestad británica.

Tratar de entender y contar lo que allí ocurre se ha convertido en la forma de vida de este periodista desde que llegó a Oriente Medio hace ya una década. Es el propósito que persigue este audiolibro, hecho de pedazos imprescindibles de una vida guiada por la brújula de la actualidad, a través de una región que se desangra como una enorme herida abierta.

In 1954 the Supreme Court ruled that little Linda Brown couldn't be excluded from a public school because of her race. In that landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education, the court famously declared that public education must be available to all on equal terms. But 66 years later, many of the best public schools remain closed to all but the most privileged families. Empowered by little-known state laws, school districts draw attendance zones around their best schools, indicating who is, and who isn't, allowed to enroll.

For six months, Army Captain Matt C. Pinsker was deployed to the Mexican-American border as a member of a unique mission. He and a handful of others were assigned to the Department of Justice as special prosecutors to handle the increasing number of immigration cases resulting from President Trump's "zero tolerance" policy. Once arrived, Captain Pinsker found himself dead center handling the near-impossible challenges of America's immigration crisis.

When Attorney General Jeff Sessions resigned in November 2018, two years after Donald Trump's surprise electoral victory, a political outsider named Matthew Whitaker became Acting Attorney General of the United States. Now Whitaker shares the shocking truth that he discovered when he temporarily became head of the Justice Department: that so-called public servants, the people charged with upholding our nation's founding principle of "equal justice under law", have abandoned that principle in order to advance a vicious partisan vendetta against President Trump.
