In the British state, intelligence does not begin with a single founding moment or a clearly defined institution. It begins instead as a tension, a contradiction embedded within the machinery of government itself. Public money is quietly allocated for secret purposes, debated in open parliamentary chambers where the very act of discussion risks undermining the thing being funded. Ministers stand to justify expenditure that cannot be fully explained, offering assurances that the work is necessary while acknowledging, sometimes indirectly, that its details must remain concealed.

Deutschland steht an einem Wendepunkt: Sind wir bereit, für Frieden, Freiheit und Selbstbestimmung Verantwortung zu übernehmen und Konsequenzen zu ziehen – politisch, diplomatisch und militärisch? Er analysiert Versäumnisse, benennt bequeme Narrative und zeigt, warum und welche Reformen jetzt notwendig sind. Zwischen technologischem Wandel, globalen Krisen und einer kaum verteidigungsbereiten Bundeswehr entwirft Kiesewetter zwei gegenläufige Zukunftsbilder: Werden wir zum handlungsfähigen Akteur – oder überlassen wir unsere Zukunft fremden Mächten?

On October 6, 2005, nineteen-year-old Kareem Johnson was stabbed aboard a Route 13 trolley in Yeadon, Pennsylvania. The attack left investigators with two crime scenes, conflicting witness accounts, limited physical evidence, and no usable surveillance footage. The case that emerged would rely heavily on human observation—and would be challenged in court for years. Blood on the Trolley is written by the detective sergeant who led the homicide investigation. This is not a dramatized true-crime story.

Lawfare has been with us since the inception of the country. Both Democrat and Republican prosecutors and investigating agents have misused their authority to pursue otherwise innocent victims over time. But with the arrival of Hillary Clinton at the White House, the practice was refined in tandem with her efforts to pursue all those who offered public criticism about her husband and the Clinton Administration. Her "war rooms" in the White House, the Senate, and at the State Department sowed the seeds for ongoing corruption within the Department of Justice.

Although it is known that gulags exist in North Korea, little information is available about their organization and conduct, for prisoners rarely escape both incarceration and the country alive.
