  Iran in 2021 is on the threshold of fundamental change. The clerics' Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, finds his regime increasingly weak and in jeopardy following a series of uprisings since 2017, systemic corruption, a bankrupt economy, and an explosive society. Faced with these realities, Khamenei has opted to close ranks and consolidate power in the hands of those absolutely loyal to him. Ebrahim Raisi, a notorious mass murderer, was handpicked by Khamenei, to take on the position of president of the regime. 
  In the summer of 1988, some 30,000 innocent men, women, and children were hanged in a matter of weeks. The majority of the victims (90%) were members or supporters of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). Raisi was one of four members of the infamous death commission in Tehran. He has continued his role as Iran's henchman to this day, including overseeing the killing of 1,500 Iranian protesters in November 2019. 
  This manuscript makes the case for bringing Ebrahim Raisi to justice before an international tribunal for crimes against humanity. 
  His presidency is a litmus test for the international community: Will the West engage and deal with this genocidal regime, or stand with the Iranian people as they struggle to overthrow the theocracy, attain freedom and establish a democratic, secular and non-nuclear republic in Iran.

  Pragmatism

  In this book, James argues that the most important criterion for evaluating ideas and beliefs is their practical usefulness in real-life situations, rather than their abstract truth or correspondence to reality. James introduces the concept of "pragmatism," which he defines as a method of approaching philosophical questions by examining their practical consequences. He argues that truth is not an absolute and fixed entity, but rather a relative and changing one that is determined by the practical outcomes of our beliefs and actions. Read in English, unabridged.

  Saigon - Ho Chi Minh City

  Saigon is the city known for the unexplainable languidness that possessed the “French and American” Europeans that lived in Vietnam. At night, in front of a drink, the memories of flowery young girls in their traditional costumes surrounded by the thick smells of the ngoc man, the feverish sounds of the city's motion piercing through the humid heat of the Asian nights hauntingly reappear. A city of contrasts, Saigon has lived through dramatic changes: the turbulence of the South for which it was renowned was replaced by the terrible coldness of the North and the joyfulness of the city was imposed a rigid doctrine. Saigon became Ho Chi Minh and a new city was created. But although appearances may change, people remain the same. So what came of these changes? A few red flags… and a number of Japanese motorbikes.

  The liberation of Western Europe in the Second World War remains one of the most significant military campaigns in history. The Allied push from Normandy to the Rhine marked the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany, culminating in its eventual surrender in May 1945. However, the path to victory was neither smooth nor inevitable. It was a campaign marked by intense fighting, strategic challenges, and the determination of soldiers from across the globe. 
    
  Following the D-Day landings on June 6, 1944, the Allies sought to free France from German occupation and drive Nazi forces back toward Germany. The operation, which involved an unprecedented amphibious invasion, was a turning point in the war. The success of the landings, despite the heavy losses, opened a second front in Europe, forcing Hitler to divert critical resources away from the Eastern Front, where the Soviet Union was steadily advancing. Yet, the Allies’ victory was not guaranteed, as German forces, though weakening, still posed formidable resistance. 
    
  The Battle of Normandy, with its brutal fighting in the hedgerows and small villages, proved to be just the beginning. The Allies encountered fierce opposition as they pushed eastward through France. While the liberation of Paris in August 1944 was a symbol of hope, it came with its own set of challenges. The need to secure vital supply lines, adapt to changing battle conditions, and coordinate across multiple national forces created both logistical and strategic headaches.

  Dark Triad - A Group of...

  The Dark Triad is a psychological framework that encompasses three distinct but interrelated personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. These traits are often associated with manipulation, lack of empathy, and a self-serving approach to relationships and social interactions. While each trait has its own characteristics, they share a common theme of emotional coldness, deceit, and a tendency to prioritize personal gain over ethical considerations. 
  Narcissism is characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, a deep need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. Narcissists often believe they are superior to those around them and expect constant validation. While some level of narcissism can be beneficial—such as having confidence and ambition—extreme narcissism can lead to entitlement, arrogance, and exploitative behavior in relationships. 
  Machiavellianism is defined by manipulation, cunning, and a willingness to deceive others for personal gain. Individuals high in Machiavellianism are strategic in their interactions, often using flattery, deception, or calculated charm to achieve their goals. Unlike narcissists, who crave attention, Machiavellians are primarily concerned with power and control. They are pragmatic and often view morality as an obstacle rather than a guiding principle.
