  We are in the midst of the worst drug crisis in American history. What are we going to do about it?Around 100,000 Americans died of a drug overdose last year—nearly double the number who died in Vietnam. More than 1,000,000 have perished since 2000, thanks largely to an explosion of fentanyl and other addictive opioids. But fentanyl, abundant methamphetamine, and other lethal drugs are not the only things that are killing us: our policy is. So far, America has lacked the will to do better. That must change, and this book tells us how.No one is immune, which is why Kevin Sabet has authored this remarkable book. Sabet, dubbed the "the quarterback of the new anti-drug movement" by Salon, has spent most of his life battling the destructive effects of drugs. In One Nation Under the Influence, he asks hard questions and provides clear answers, taking listeners from the streets of San Francisco and New York to the southern border, up to Canada, and across to Europe to show how we can chart a necessary way forward. The solutions are out there, if only we have the will to apply them.

  Recruited by British Intelligence to infiltrate the IRA and Sinn Féin during the height of the Northern Ireland Troubles, they were ‘agents of influence’. With codenames like INFLICTION, STAKEKNIFE, 3007 and CAROL, these spies played a pivotal role in the fight against Irish republicanism. Now, for the first time, some of these agents have emerged from the shadows to tell their compelling stories. Agents of Influence takes you behind the scenes of the secret intelligence war which helped bring the IRA’s armed struggle to an end. 
   
  Historian Aaron Edwards, the critically acclaimed author of UVF: Behind the Mask, explains how the IRA was penetrated by British agents, with explosive new revelations about the hidden agendas of prominent republicans like Martin McGuinness and Freddie Scappaticci and lesser-known ones like Joe Haughey and John Joe Magee. Bringing to light recently declassified TOP SECRET documents and the firsthand testimonies of agents and their handlers, Edwards reveals how British Intelligence gained extraordinary access to the IRA’s inner circle and manipulated them into engaging with the peace process. 
   
  With new insights into the spy masters behind the scenes, their strategies and tactics, and Britain’s international intelligence network in Northern Ireland, Europe, and beyond, Agents of Influence offers a rare and shocking glimpse into the clandestine world of secret agents, British intelligence strategy and the betrayal at the heart of militant Irish republicanism during the vicious decades of the Troubles.

  Fear Tactics - Using Fear to...

  Cito Harder

  Fear is one of the most primal human emotions, deeply embedded in the survival instincts of individuals and societies. Throughout history, it has been harnessed as a tool of control, allowing those in positions of power to manipulate others for personal, political, or financial gain. Fear tactics involve the deliberate use of intimidation, threats, and uncertainty to shape perceptions, influence decisions, and suppress opposition. Whether used in personal relationships, corporate environments, or large-scale governance, these tactics exploit an individual’s natural aversion to danger and discomfort.  
  At its core, a fear tactic works by triggering the instinctive fight-or-flight response. When people perceive a threat—whether real or fabricated—they become more susceptible to external influence. Logical reasoning often takes a backseat to emotional reactions, making individuals more likely to comply with demands, accept misleading information, or make decisions that they otherwise would not consider. Fear-based influence operates on the principle that an individual will do whatever is necessary to avoid the perceived threat, even if it means relinquishing personal freedoms, adopting extreme beliefs, or placing trust in an unworthy authority.

  The Cuban Missile Crisis - Brink...

  The Cuban Missile Crisis, one of the most critical moments in the Cold War, did not emerge in isolation but was the culmination of a decades-long geopolitical struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union. The context of this crisis lies deeply within the broader Cold War, which began shortly after the end of World War II. This period was marked by intense ideological rivalry, military standoffs, and a nuclear arms race that would define much of the second half of the 20th century. 
  The origins of the Cold War can be traced back to the conflicting political and economic ideologies of the two superpowers. The United States, championing capitalism and democracy, viewed the spread of communism, led by the Soviet Union, as a direct threat to global stability and democratic values. On the other hand, the Soviet Union, under the leadership of Joseph Stalin, sought to expand the reach of communism and solidify its control over Eastern Europe, which had been acquired as a result of the war. This division between the capitalist West and the communist East created a tense geopolitical environment that shaped every diplomatic interaction between the two powers. 
  In the early stages of the Cold War, several key events served to heighten the distrust between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The Berlin Blockade in 1948, the Korean War in the early 1950s, and the formation of opposing military alliances like NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and the Warsaw Pact solidified the division of the world into two hostile camps. As both nations escalated their military capabilities, the nuclear arms race emerged as a central aspect of Cold War tensions. The development and stockpiling of nuclear weapons made the Cold War not just an ideological battle but also a dangerous game of survival, with the constant threat of global annihilation hanging over every political and military maneuver.
