  Sample Key Takeaways: 
  1) Due to America’s race sensitivities, police shootings of African Americans have been used by radical left-wing groups such as antifa to further the false narrative of “bloodthirsty” police against “innocent” black bystanders. George Floyd’s death presented the greatest opportunity for this narrative to spark uprisings against the state. 
  2) The riots and looting that followed Floyd’s death in Minnesota can be seen being led by mysterious vandals wearing all black. These were likely members of antifa, as many were seen breaking windows, a common antifa tactic that is meant to incite a protest into full-blown anarchy.

  Seven principles for a just and sustainable system, accompanied by true stories of “the people creating the institutions of the next economy” (Kat Taylor, cofounder, Beneficial State Bank).   The extractive economy we live with now—designed by the 1 percent for the 1 percent—enables the financial elite to squeeze out maximum gain for themselves, heedless of damage to people or planet. But in this compelling book, Marjorie Kelly and Ted Howard show that there is a new economy emerging, focused on helping everyone thrive while respecting planetary boundaries.   At a time when competing political visions are at stake the world over, this book urges a move beyond tinkering at the margins to address the systemic crisis of our economy. Kelly and Howard outline seven principles of what they call a Democratic Economy: community, inclusion, place (keeping wealth local), good work (putting labor before capital), democratized ownership, ethical finance, and sustainability. Each principle is paired with a place putting it into practice: Pine Ridge, Preston, Portland, Cleveland, and more. Included are stories not just of activists and grassroots leaders but of the unexpected accomplices of the Democratic Economy. Seeds of a future beyond corporate capitalism and state socialism are being planted in hospital procurement departments, pension fund offices, and even company boardrooms. The future remains uncertain—but Kelly and Howard help us understand how to nurture and grow those seeds into an equitable, ecologically sustainable economy that benefits all of us, not just the billionaires.   “As champions of worker and community ownership, Kelly and Howard remind us that economic democracy is essential to political democracy and a viable human future.” —David Korten, author of When Corporations Rule the World

  The memoirs of former Opposition leader Tony Leon provide a unique glimpse into the political life of South Africa in the democratic era. In incisive, finely focused prose, On the Contrary records Leon's thirteen-year leadership of the Democratic Alliance and its predecessor, the Democratic Party, years in which the party grew from its marginal position on the brink of political extinction into the second largest political force in South Africa. This is an adventure in ideas that involves vivid real people - friends, colleagues and enemies alike. There is new light shed on many of the figures who have shaped modern South Africa, including Nelson Mandela, FW de Klerk and Thabo Mbeki. A trained lawyer, Tony Leon entered Parliament at age 32 at the dawn of South Africa's period of revolution and reform. He actively participated in the constitutional negotiations that led to the birth of the democratic South Africa.

  DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
  This is a summary, and it does not accompany the official 
  'Prequel: An American Fight Against Fascism' by Rachel Maddow, inspired by her podcast 'Ultra,' delves into the history of American authoritarianism, particularly focusing on a right-wing movement that emerged before and during World War II. This movement orchestrated a widespread disinformation campaign to weaken the U.S. war effort and align the country with the Axis powers. Maddow uncovers the shocking extent of this campaign, aimed at undermining democracy, promoting antisemitism, and eroding trust in democratic institutions with the end goal of authoritarian takeover. 
  The book also explores an ultra-right paramilitary group that prepared for mass violence and insurrection. Parallel to these events, a group of activists and journalists worked tirelessly to expose this scheme. In 1941, the U.S. The Department of Justice took action against the conspirators but faced significant challenges, including political interference from influential figures, leading to a failure of the legal system. Maddow argues that this historical event, often overlooked and involving prominent officials, has had long-reaching impacts on American history and remains highly relevant in today's political climate.

  “A remarkable reconstruction of the extensive and quite exceptional career” of a key WW2 military intelligence officer. (Royal Air Force Historical Society) 
   
  Of German stock dating back to 1530 in Saxony, Eric George Ackermann GM was born on the Isle of Wight in 1919 and became a leading figure in the world of signals and electronic intelligence. As a Junior Scientific Officer at the Telecommunication Research Establishment, Boscombe Down, with an honorary commission in the Royal Air Force, he made numerous flights over occupied territory searching for, monitoring and destroying Germany’s Wuerzburg, Knickebein and X Band radar systems. Much of his research was passed to the highest levels of wartime government, ensuring that tactical plans could be executed that took full advantage of top secret German intelligence. A host of secret missions to assess the enemy’s radar capabilities were carried out in North Africa, Gibraltar and Italy.  
   
  This engaging biography explores his operational deployment at the vanguard of tactical intelligence operations during WWII. Winner of the George Medal for conspicuous gallantry, Ackermann also saw conflict up close and personal. After the war, he played a major part in the implementation of a string of listening stations built along the borders of Soviet Bloc countries, which later gleaned a wealth of invaluable post-war intelligence. Further work in aeronautics and satellite construction in the United States followed.  
   
  Despite Ackermann’s achievements, he has never been the subject of a book-length study until now. Covert Radar and Signals Interception will appeal to aviation enthusiasts, as well as readers curious to gain new insights into twentieth century intelligence practices and their often far-reaching consequences.
