Summary

'The Foundation of one Nation' brings together a remarkable confluence of essays and writings by four pivotal figures in American political theory—Thomas Paine, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay. This anthology spans a wide range of literary styles from vehement argumentation to reflective reasoning, all rooted deeply in the fervent period of American independence and constitutional formation. The collection not only tracks the evolution of American political thought but also highlights significant manuscripts that charted the course for the United States government structure, demonstrating an intricate blend of ideology and governance. The authors, key architects of American policy and thought, bring forth a diverse palette of intellectual and cultural backgrounds contributing profoundly to the discourse on liberty, democracy, and federalism. Embedded within the era of Enlightenment and the consequential American Revolution, their collaborative and individual works reflect the complexity of founding a nation amidst divergent regional and philosophical perspectives. This anthology captures the essence of these debates and the foundational ideologies that emerged as cornerstones of American governance. 'The Foundation of one Nation' is an indispensable resource for anyone keen to explore the dense interplay of political ideologies and governance that shaped a new nation. It offers readers a unique opportunity to engage with the thoughts of America's founding fathers in their own words, providing a rich educational experience and insight into the formation of American political identity and constitutional law. This collection is essential for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the ideological roots and democratic frameworks that continue to influence governance and policy today.

    Defeating Jihadist Terrorism

    Since the early 1990s, terrorism and its victims have increased exponentially. Without any action strategy or exit solution, through political and military incompetence, stupidity and ideological blindness, Western interventions have only contributed to its development. We eliminate terrorists, but not terrorism. The solution lies in a more holistic, more subtle, more intelligent and less dogmatic approach. Terrorism is not an ideology. It is a method that takes many forms, including jihadist terrorism. Each form of terrorism is fought with a specific strategy. Based on the original texts of jihadist strategists as well as on their own analyses of attacks in France, Belgium, Great Britain and the United States, Jacques Baud explains the reasons for Western failure. He uses the analyses of Western intelligence services to decipher the mechanisms of jihadist terrorism, in order to extract strategies of action likely to avoid it or to fight it effectively and durably. The author is a former head of Swiss strategic intelligence and former head of UN peace operations doctrine. In the course of his missions in Africa and Central Asia, the author has had several encounters with jihadists in the field.

    “Dude…have you ever watched two guys kiss?” 
    I’m not sure how it happened. 
    Zack promised to teach me how to skate, but instead we ended up in his bed, fully nude while watching hardcore videos on his laptop. He thought it’d be funny to show me gay stuff, but it did something to my brain. 
    These days, my free time is spent alone in my dark bedroom. I surf the web for fringe content like “Hardcore Gay Findom” and “Gay MAGA Redpill”, but it’s not enough. 
    I keep going back to his apartment. He makes me wear a collar. He films me and sells the videos online. 
    My mind is broken. 
    I’m addicted to showing my body…
