    … "Wenn ich also das Ergebnis meiner Untersuchung in knappster Form zusammenfassen müsste, so ergäbe sich etwa Folgendes: Energie ist eine Urkraft unbekannter Herkunft mit einem ungeheuren Differenzierungspotenzial. 'Tote' wie lebende Materie ist zunehmend raffiniert organisierte Energie. Das organisierende Prinzip ist der Weltgeist, ein grenzenloses abstraktes Potenzial von Kombinationsmöglichkeiten, welche im Lauf der Evolution vom Big Bang bis heute immer differenzierter realisiert und materialisiert worden sind. Aspekte des Weltgeists werden von lebendigen Organismen sukzessive entdeckt und genutzt. Sowohl der Weltgeist wie auch die Energie können wahlweise als göttlichen oder natürlichen Ursprungs aufgefasst werden."
    
    … "So if I had to summarize the result of my investigation in the briefest form, it would be something like the following: energy is a primal force of unknown origin with a tremendous potential for differentiation. 'Dead' and living matter is increasingly sophisticatedly organized energy. The organizing principle is the world spirit, a limitless abstract potential of possible combinations, which has been realized and materialized in an increasingly differentiated way in the course of evolution from the Big Bang to the present day. Aspects of the world spirit are successively discovered and utilized by living organisms. Both the world spirit and the energy can be understood to be either of divine or natural origin."

    In Policing White Supremacy, former FBI agent Mike German, who worked undercover in white supremacist and militia groups, issues a wake-up call about law enforcement's dangerously lax approach to far-right violence. 
     
     
     
    Despite over a hundred deadly acts by far-right militants since the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, and the far right's attempts to obstruct transfer of power to a duly elected president on January 6, the FBI continues to deprioritize investigations into white supremacist violence, instead targeting marginalized groups. 
     
     
     
    Noting that the FBI does not even compile accurate national data on white supremacist violence, German also exposes the continuing tolerance of overt racism in law enforcement, and police membership in white supremacist organizations. The threat these officers pose became clear when at least twenty-eight current and former law enforcement officials were alleged to have participated in the 2021 Capitol breach. 
     
     
     
    Policing White Supremacy shows how the lack of transparency and accountability in federal, state, and local law enforcement has eroded public trust and undermined democracy. "Law Enforcement's Role in Resisting White Supremacy" points the way forward to a future where far-right violence is recognized and addressed as the true threat it presents to our country.
