Maps have a mysterious hold over us. Whether ancient, crumbling parchments or generated by Google, maps tell us things we want to know, not only about our current location or where we are going but about the world in general. And yet, when it comes to geo-politics, much of what we are told is generated by analysts and other experts who have neglected to refer to a map of the place in question.

Traveling across India, interviewing Hindu zealots, armed insurgents, jailed dissidents, and politicians and thinkers from across the political spectrum, Siddhartha Deb reveals a country in which forces old and new have aligned to endanger democracy. The result is an absorbing—and disturbing—portrait. India has become a religious fundamentalist dystopia, one depicted here with a novelist's precise language and eye for detail.

The chief weapon deployed by the government-corporate-media Establishment against the Trump presidency was propaganda. Time and again, allegations from anonymous sources were disseminated by a partisan media, promoted by a dishonest Democrat Party leadership, and ultimately debunked when the facts surfaced. But by the time the truth came out, it was too late. There had already been casualties. One of the highest profile casualties was Paul Manafort.

The United States has the world’s highest rate of incarceration, a form of punishment that ruins lives and makes a return to prison more likely. With the authority of a prominent legal scholar and the practical insights gained through on-the-ground work on criminal-justice reform, Rachel Barkow explains how dangerous it is to base criminal-justice policy on the whims of the electorate, which puts judges, sheriffs, and politicians in office.

George William Foote, a courageous British secularist, faced conviction and imprisonment for blasphemy after founding The Freethinker, a magazine that defied the constraints of the 19th Century British judicial system and continues to thrive today. In Prisoner for Blasphemy, Foote recounts the gripping saga of his trials and his eventual imprisonment in Holloway Gaol. While his case marked the last significant blasphemy trial in England, Footes vision of a future without blasphemy laws would not come to fruition until nearly a century after his passing, in 2008.

Prisoner exchanges have been a common practice in international politics for centuries, often serving as a pragmatic tool for resolving conflicts and maintaining diplomatic relations. These exchanges typically involve the swapping of prisoners of war, political detainees, or individuals captured in espionage activities between warring or adversarial nations. While the motivations and contexts for prisoner exchanges have varied over time, the fundamental purpose remains the same: to secure the release of one's own citizens or allies while often achieving broader political or strategic ...

Now he lays out a winning political strategy for the Right that can save the country from sliding into economic and social ruin.

This channel attempts to expose the short comings of the American justice system. It is said that the American justice system is designed to protect the individual from the State, with the standard of guilt being measured by "beyond a reasonable doubt" and the accused being "presumed innocent."

Join me while I deep dive into criminal cases where the accused is suffering the consequences, not for their alleged crime, but for their thoughts and/or actions that challenged power relations.
