Drug Trafficking, Organized Crime, and Violence in the Americas Today




Bruce M. Bagley and Jonathan D. Rosen, "Drug Trafficking, Organized Crime, and Violence in the Americas Today"


2015 | ISBN-10: 0813060680 | 472 pages | PDF | 2 MB




In 1971, Richard Nixon declared a war on drugs. Despite foreign policy efforts and attempts to combat supply lines, the United States has been for decades, and remains today, the largest single consumer market for illicit drugs on the planet. In this volume, Bruce Bagley and Jonathan Rosen illustrate that the war on drugs has been ineffective at best and, at worst, has been highly detrimental to countries throughout the region. They present a clear picture of drug trafficking and its role in organized crime while discussing the major trends of the war on drugs in the twentyfirst century, as well as its future. With this comprehensive overview, Bagley and Rosen develop a framework for understanding the limits and liabilities in the U.S.-championed war on drugs throughout the Americas.

Godless: How an Evangelical Preacher Became One of America"s Leading Atheists [Repost]




Godless: How an Evangelical Preacher Became One of America"s Leading Atheists by Richard Dawkins


English | Sep. 1, 2008 | ISBN: 1569756775 | 392 Pages | EPUB | 2.53 MB




ADVANCE PRAISE FOR GODLESS “Valuable in the human story are the reflections of intelligent and ethical people who listen to the voice of reason and who allow it to vanquish bigotry and superstition. This book is a classic example.” —CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS author of God is Not Great “The most eloquent witness of internal delusion that I know—a triumphantly smiling refugee from the zany, surreal world of American fundamentalist Protestantism—is Dan Barker.” —RICHARD DAWKINS author of The God Delusion “ Godless was a revelation to me. I don’t think anyone can match the (devastating!) clarity, intensity, and honesty which Dan Barker brings to the journey—faith to reason, childhood to growing up, fantasy to reality, intoxication to sobriety.” —OLIVER SACKS authors of Musicophilia In Godless , Barker recounts his journey from evangelical preacher to atheist activist, and along the way explains precisely why it is not only okay to be an atheist, it is something in which to be proud.” —MICHAEL SHERMER publisher of Skeptic Magazine “ Godless is a fascinating memoir and a handbook for debunking theism. But most of all, it is a moving testimonial to one man’s emotional and intellectual rigor in acclaiming critical thinking.” —ROBERT SAPOLSKY author of Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers

Chicken: The Dangerous Transformation of America’s Favorite Food [Repost]




Chicken: The Dangerous Transformation of America’s Favorite Food (Yale Agrarian Studies Series) by Steve Striffler


English | July 24, 2007 | ISBN: 0300123671 | 208 Pages | PDF | 10.26 MB




Anthropologist Steve Striffler begins this book in a poultry processing plant, drawing on his own experiences there as a worker. He also reports on the way chickens are raised today and how they are consumed. What he discovers about America’s favorite meat is not just unpleasant but a powerful indictment of our industrial food system. The process of bringing chicken to our dinner tables is unhealthy for all concerned—from farmer to factory worker to consumer. The book traces the development of the poultry industry since the Second World War, analyzing the impact of such changes as the destruction of the family farm, the processing of chicken into nuggets and patties, and the changing makeup of the industrial labor force. The author describes the lives of immigrant workers and their reception in the small towns where they live. The conclusion is clear: there has to be a better way. Striffler proposes radical but practical change, a plan that promises more humane treatment of chickens, better food for the consumer, and fair payment for food workers and farmers.

Crimes of the Educators: How Utopians Are Using Government Schools to Destroy America"s Children




Samuel Blumenfeld, Alex Newman, "Crimes of the Educators: How Utopians Are Using Government Schools to Destroy America"s Children"


ISBN: 1938067126 | 2015 | EPUB | 368 pages | 3 MB


Utopian dictators like Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, and Mao are criminals – genocidal psychopaths who have killed more human beings in the last hundred years than any other ideologues in history. They don"t limit their murder to individuals, but to entire nations.




In the United States another form of utopians, the "progressives," have tried to destroy traditional America by strategically dumbing down her people. America"s future is being crippled on purpose in order to fundamentally transform the nation, its values, and its system of government. Laid out a century ago by progressive luminary John Dewey, the fruits of his schemes are plain to see today. Dewey got rid of the traditional intensive phonics method of instruction and imposed a "look-say," "sight," or "whole-word" method that forces children to read English as if it were Chinese. The method is widely used in today"s public schools, which is a major reason there are so many failing public schools that cannot teach children the basics. This can only be considered a blatant form of child abuse.




American author and veteran educator Samuel Blumenfeld and journalist Alex Newman have taken on the public education establishment as never before and exposed it for the de facto criminal enterprise it is.




Crimes of the Educators reveals how the architects of America"s public school disaster implemented a plan to socialize the United States by knowingly and willingly dumbing down the population, a mission closer to success than ever as the Obama administration works relentlessly to nationalize K-12 schooling with Common Core.




The whole-word method of teaching children to read – introduced by John Dewey and colleagues in the early twentieth century and which permeates Common Core – is a significant cause of dyslexia among students. Public education"s war against religion, the "great American math disaster," promotion of death education, and the government"s plan to lower standards for all so "no one is left behind" is destroying the logic, reasoning, and overall educational prowess of America"s next generation.




According to the Program for International Student Assessment, which collects test results from 65 countries for its rankings.




• In reading, students in 19 other locales scored higher than U.S. students


• In science, 22 education systems scored above the U.S.


• In mathematics, 29 nations and other jurisdictions outperformed the United States




Journalist Henry Mencken said it best in 1924 when he wrote that the aim of public education is "to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality."




It is time to hold the Department of Education accountable for the crimes of the educators.
