  MSNBC's legal expert breaks down the ways disinformation has become a tool to drive voters to extremes, disempower our legal structures, and consolidate power in the hands of the few. 
   
   
   
  American society is more polarized than ever before. We are strategically being pushed apart by disinformation—the deliberate spreading of lies disguised as truth—and it comes at us from all sides: opportunists on the far right, Russian misinformed social media influencers, among others. It's endangering our democracy and causing havoc in our electoral system, schools, hospitals, workplaces, and in our Capitol. Advances in technology including rapid developments in artificial intelligence threaten to make the problems even worse by amplifying false claims and manufacturing credibility. In Attack from Within, legal scholar and analyst Barbara McQuade, shows us how to identify the ways disinformation is seeping into all facets of our society and how we can fight against it. 
   
   
   
  Disinformation is designed to evoke a strong emotional response to push us toward more extreme views, unable to find common ground with others. The false claims that led to the breathtaking attack on our Capitol in 2020 may have been only a dress rehearsal. Attack from Within shows us how to prevent it from happening again, thus preserving our country's hard-won democracy.

  If a poll were taken inquiring if you believed eggs could be Unscrambled, You’d be in the majority with the opinion that it was a rare foolishness to even consider. 
  More scientific debaters would argue cooking fudges the egg proteins, breaks its chemical bonds, causing new bonds to form. On cooling the proteins cannot return to their raw configuration. Even if they did, it’d be impossible to wield cutlery in such a way as to separate the yolk from the white. The mixing & cooking are irreversible processes. 
  As a mad Parallel thinker I disagree. 
  You simply need an uncanny understanding of the components, the various players & their compositions to reverse the several severely transformative processes undergone. 
  For You & I, Non-Unscramblers (of eggs), not simple. Yes. But I won’t bet that it is impossible, I don’t think you should. 
  This compact book bears a long lost algorithm which the author has now successfully used + taught others to use to classify People into precise groups of Esaus / Jacobs. 
  Knowledge of #DEJS will relink you to your core Animal (none of that irresponsible, hit & miss Horoscopy stuff), solving Identity issues; from Midlife crisis to confused Sexuality, teach you to Diagnose & Troubleshoot the point where things derailed, keep distressed homes, valuable friendships & partnerships alike together etc, all towards Peak Productivity…

  Delhi Sultanate The: The History...

  India has been the location of many different empires throughout its long history. The Indus Valley Civilization was home to one of the world’s first civilizations more than 5,000 years ago, which was followed by the Aryan-Vedic culture and then a host of other kingdoms that flourished across the Sub-Continent. India has also been the birthplace of many religions. The Vedic religion of the Aryans evolved into the Hindu religion, and Buddhism and Jainism were also born in India. By the Middle Ages, India was home to many different religions and ethnic groups, with dozens of languages being spoken, making India less of a single, unified country and more of a land of many countries. Despite India’s tradition of cultural and political pluralism, several rulers attempted to place the entire Sub-Continent under the rule of one dynasty or government with a dominant religion. Most of these would-be rulers were far from successful, although a few came close, setting the template for later conquerors.  
  	The Delhi Sultanate was comprised of five dynasties that expanded their borders, and Islam, at sword point, but also through diplomacy and trade. The Delhi Sultanate became known as a state that welcomed the expertise of foreigners, no matter their religion, and promoted the welfare of its citizens through a host of social programs. Eventually, the Delhi Sultanate grafted ideas and inspiration from India’s pre-Islamic past with those of Islam to create a state that was quite unique and powerful. The Delhi sultans were themselves descended from Turks and brought with them ideas from Persia. Furthermore, as their empire grew, they invited scholars from throughout the Islamic world to their country, and as Muslim scholars, scientists, and administrators from the Near East made their way into India, the Delhi sultans also incorporated some of the cultural ideas of the native Hindu Indians to create a state that was as unique as any the world had ever seen.

  The 19th-Century Famines in...

  In the 19th century, Finland was a region undergoing profound political, social, and economic transformation. Following centuries of Swedish rule, Finland was ceded to the Russian Empire in 1809, becoming an autonomous Grand Duchy under the Russian crown. This shift in governance marked a significant turning point in the nation's development, as it introduced new administrative structures and a degree of self-rule, yet still tied Finland’s fate closely to the broader political currents of imperial Russia. Despite this autonomy, many rural communities remained deeply influenced by traditional practices rooted in earlier Swedish governance and local customs. 
  Agriculture formed the backbone of the Finnish economy during this period, with the vast majority of the population engaged in farming or forestry. The rural landscape was dominated by small farms and tenant holdings, where subsistence farming was the norm. Crops such as rye, barley, and oats were staples, but yields were highly susceptible to environmental fluctuations. There was limited access to modern tools, techniques, or fertilizers, and storage methods were often inadequate, leaving communities vulnerable to failed harvests. The lack of agricultural diversity and technological stagnation only exacerbated the risks, particularly during years of poor weather or early frosts. 
  Economically, Finland was still in the early stages of development, with only a few urban centers and a limited industrial base. Trade remained modest, and most commerce was localized. The transportation infrastructure, particularly in the countryside, was underdeveloped, which made the movement of goods—especially food—slow and unreliable. The country’s dependence on its immediate environment for food and income meant that any disruption, whether climatic or political, could have devastating consequences. This fragility was compounded by population growth, which put increasing pressure on available land and resources.
