In September 2024, Canadian influencer Lauren Southern suddenly found herself in the eye of a media storm, accused of spreading Russian propaganda. The US government had just alleged that the founders of the startup she’d been making videos for - Tenet Media - were working with Russian state media, in a $10 million Kremlin-backed operation. What exactly did Russia want with a group of YouTubers? And did they succeed? Who knew what was allegedly going on within Tenet Media, and when? And what does all of this say about where everyone gets their information?

In 1953 a second edition was published which omitted out-dated material. A further revision was made for the third edition in 1964. Since then, the progress made by humanity has been such that the nature of the problems has changed to a marked degree. For example, problems relating to the worlds children continue to exist but in different forms and under different conditions to those of the post-war period. The problems of capital, labor and employment have changed greatly in an increasingly automated and computerized world.

In this timely book, distinguished historian Thomas Madden explores the people, events, and factors that led to the collapse of some of the world's most enduring republics—from Carthage to Rome to Venice and beyond—and examines the worrying lessons these failures hold for the United States and other democracies today.

Your passport is not a document of freedom. It is a leash with a government logo. The nation-state—that seventeenth-century invention built on territory, bureaucracy, and the implied threat of force—is creaking under the weight of a world it was never designed to manage. Tax codes nobody understands, border walls that solve nothing, surveillance dressed up as security, and a social contract you never actually signed. The question is no longer whether this system works. The question is: what comes next?

John Mappin is a sentinel of sovereignty, a modern mythmaker, and, willingly or not, a hero at history’s crossroads. From his defiant refusal to turn Camelot into a migrant-processing hotel to his prophetic wager on Donald Trump’s rise, Mappin has become a lightning rod for global battles; nationhood versus globalism, courage versus conformity, truth versus the psychiatric priesthood of lies. His close relationship with Charlie Kirk, his friendship with Candace Owens, and his associations with figures such as Tucker Carlson and Nigel Farage show how his influence reaches across continents.

Um em cada quatro brasileiros está abaixo da linha de pobreza, (sobre)vivendo sob condições inaceitáveis. Saber que milhares de pessoas, inclusive crianças, sofrem com as consequências da desigualdade imediatamente nos provoca um senso de indignação e um desejo de resolver a situação, mas as respostas para eliminar a pobreza parecem vir de todos os lados, apontando para caminhos opostos.

In posing the question, "What was the effect of policy entrepreneurs' use of a scenario on federal efforts to clean up the Gulf of Mexico's dead zone?" I explain the momentum that leads to and sustains the theoretical phenomena of punctuated equilibrium. After establishing that the policy process in this case was measurable as a statistically significant case of punctuated equilibrium, I defined a scenario as an organized form of discourse with a plot with three parts: a beginning, a middle, and an end. To analyze the policy process, I plotted a narrative.

Prosperity, Freedom, and Order by Richard Allen Beach is a serious and thought-provoking work that explores how liberty, moral responsibility, social order, and economic structure are deeply connected. Through the philosophy of Perceptionism, Beach presents a broad vision for a society built on individual sovereignty, personal accountability, strong families, and long-term stability. Rather than offering a narrow political argument, the book examines the larger foundations of human life and asks what kind of social order can genuinely support freedom and prosperity.
