  We the Elites - Why the US...

  Robert Ovetz

  Written by fifty-five of the richest white men, and signed by only thirty-nine of them, the US constitution is the sacred text of American nationalism. Popular perceptions of it are mired in idolatry, myth, and misinformation—many Americans have opinions on the constitution but have little idea what it says. This book examines the constitution for what it is—a rule book for elites to protect capitalism from democracy. Social movements have misplaced faith in the constitution as a tool for achieving justice when it actually impedes social change through the many roadblocks and obstructions we call 'checks and balances'. This stymies urgent progress on issues like labor rights, poverty, public health, and climate change, propelling the American people and rest of the world towards destruction. Robert Ovetz's reading of the constitution shows that the system isn't broken. Far from it. It works as it was designed to.

  The South African national bestseller, now in audio. 
  HE WITNESSED A RACE-FUELLED MASSACRE AS A TEENAGER. THEN HE INFILTRATED THE RIGHT-WING EXTREMISTS PLOTTING TO ASSASSINATE NELSON MANDELA. 
  In 1988, seventeen-year-old Bradley Steyn walked into Pretoria’s Strijdom Square and witnessed white supremacist Barend Strydom shooting black civilians. He held a dying man in his arms. That moment would follow him into the South African Navy, apartheid’s Security Branch and, ultimately, Nelson Mandela’s underground intelligence network. 
  Recruited as a classified government enforcer, Bradley later turned against the regime and operated as a double agent for the ANC’s Department of Intelligence and Security. 
  As neo-Nazis and members of apartheid’s military and police establishment worked to ignite a race war, Bradley and an unlikely team of former enemies infiltrated the conspiracy from within. 
  Their final mission was to stop a plot to assassinate Nelson Mandela at his presidential inauguration. 
  Narrated by acclaimed South African actor Ashley Dowds, Undercover with Mandela’s Spies is an explosive true-life account of espionage, betrayal, extremism, PTSD and the secret battle for South Africa’s democracy. 
  PRAISE 
  “A riveting narrative of an otherwise opaque shadow war that played out in South Africa... Compelling for both general readers and specialists seeking to understand undercover operations against extremism.” 
   Colonel (Ret.) Christopher P. Costa, Executive Director, International Spy Museum 
  “A rollicking read full of testosterone-driven treachery and treason.” 
   Marianne Thamm, Daily Maverick 
  “Illuminating beyond measure.”

  Hamas In Palestine

  Hamas, from the Arabic Islamic Resistance Movement, is a militant Islamist organization that aims to represent and lead a resistance movement for the liberation of Palestine from Israeli occupation. The Movement is difficult to place on the spectrum of other non-State actors, such as Hezbollah, as since 2007, it has established itself as the de facto leader of the Gaza Strip, assuming the functions of authority and government. Despite being considered a terrorist organization by the European Union, the United States, and Israel, the group rejects this designation and its diplomatic relations with major state actors such as Iran, Qatar, and Turkey.  
  The Jewish-Palestinian conflict is a complex and long-running conflict rooted in the 19th Century. It intensified during the 20th Century when Jewish immigration to Palestine grew significantly. This conflict focuses mainly on the struggle for land control between Jews and Palestinians in that region. 
  Within Israeli and Palestinian societies, the conflict generates a wide variety of positions. A distinctive feature of the conflict was the level of violence perpetrated for much of its duration. There have been clashes between regular armies, paramilitary groups, terrorist cells, and independent citizens. These clashes were not strictly limited to the military camp and caused a large number of civilian casualties on both sides.
