Thailand - The Central Nervous System of Asia’s Scam Empire

Natalie G. Turner

Sinossi

Behind the beauty of beaches and temples lies a far darker architecture: Thailand has quietly become the nerve center of Asia’s sprawling cyber-scam ecosystem. While the world’s attention drifts toward chaos in neighboring Myanmar and Cambodia, the real engine behind billions in fraud—tech-driven deception, labor trafficking, and diplomatic evasion—runs in plain sight.
 
In Thailand: The Central Nervous System of Asia’s Scam Empire, investigative writer Natalie G. Turner connects the dots between tourist visas and money laundering, Golden Elite Cards and borderland mafias, influencer recruitment and crypto pipelines. This sharp, idea-driven exposé doesn’t just trace the networks—it decodes the quiet normalization of crime, the complicity of state structures, and the dangerous silence that fuels global victimhood.
 
You’ll learn how local drivers, interpreters, and citizens are pulled into the machine—sometimes knowingly, sometimes out of desperation. You’ll see how fake NGOs, offshore casinos, and even international institutions fail to confront the scope of the system. And you’ll be forced to ask: who truly benefits from keeping the machine alive?
 
For readers of geopolitical nonfiction, digital crime reports, and Southeast Asia watchers, this is a punchy, clear-eyed analysis of one of the most ignored power centers in modern organized fraud—and the cost of letting it thrive.

On the Wrong Side - How...

Nicole Bedera

THIS EXPLOSIVE INVESTIGATION REVEALS THE PROFOUND FAILURES OF THE TITLE IX SYSTEM AND IDENTIFIES THE STEPS WE CAN TAKE TO PROTECT STUDENTS 
 
On the Wrong Side provides the first comprehensive account of the inner workings of the secretive Title IX system. Drawing on a yearlong study of survivors, perpetrators, and the administrators who oversaw their cases, sociologist Nicole Bedera exposes the structures that predictably punish survivors who come forward in the service of protecting—or even rewarding—their perpetrators. She reveals that the system tasked with ending gender inequality on campus only intensifies it, upending survivors’ lives and threatening their degrees. 
 
Equally heartbreaking and optimistic, On the Wrong Side makes it easy to imagine life-changing interventions for the next generation of students by proposing specific solutions to the structural problems of Title IX. Bedera proves that ending campus sexual violence is within our grasp—and dares us to be courageous enough to take action. 
 
“Nicole Bedera is one of the most important thinkers of our time about sexual violence on campus. I am grateful for her work.”—Peggy Orenstein, New York Times–bestselling author of Boys & Sex: Young Men on Hookups, Love, Porn, Consent, and Navigating the New Masculinity

Investigative reporter James Renner reopens cold cases that have baffled Clevelanders for years, including:

● Suicide or murder?—Joseph Kupchik hid gambling problems from friends and family until he was found at the bottom of a nine-story parking deck in downtown Cleveland—with multiple stab wounds. 
 
 
 
● Heist—In 1969, Lakewood bank employee Ted Conrad nabbed $215,000 from the vault one day after his twentieth birthday. The FBI still shows up at his high school reunions. 
 
 
 
● Controversy—Jeffrey Krotine was thrice tried for the grisly 2003 murder of his wife and ultimately acquitted, to the frustration of prosecutors, detectives, and jurors.

Mexican Drug Cartels - Their...

Kelly Mass

The Mexican drug war, also known as the Guerra contra el narcotráfico en México, is the Mexican theater of the global war on drugs, a campaign led by the United States federal government. This war has resulted in a protracted, asymmetric low-intensity conflict between the Mexican government and various drug trafficking organizations. The Mexican government’s main objective when it intervened militarily in 2006 was to curb drug-related violence, which had escalated in the preceding years. The government’s stated aim, in collaboration with U.S. officials, was to eliminate the cartels and reduce the demand for drugs trafficking.
Violence erupted after the 1989 arrest of Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, who was the leader and founder of Mexico’s first major drug cartel, the Guadalajara Cartel. His arrest led to the dissolution of the cartel as high-ranking members splintered off to create their own groups. This fragmentation gave rise to the Sinaloa, Juarez, Tijuana, and Sonora cartels, among others, which began to battle for control over lucrative trafficking routes and territories. This marked a new chapter in the drug war, with the cartels becoming increasingly violent in their efforts to secure dominance.
Mexican drug trafficking organizations have been a powerful force for decades, but their power surged significantly in the 1990s after the collapse of the Colombian Cali and Medellín cartels. By 2007, Mexican criminal groups controlled an overwhelming 90% of the cocaine entering the United States. Efforts to arrest cartel leaders, including those in the Tijuana and Gulf cartels, often resulted in even more violence, as smaller gangs competed for control over key drug trade routes into the U.S.
