Today’s fact-checkers assure us that they analyze speech without fear or favor and promise to hold powerful politicians and pundits to account when they lie to the public. It turns out that they themselves are often among the biggest liars in our larger political dialogue. Presented with claims or facts that are inconvenient for the dominant media narrative, fact-checkers slant their rulings.

In Plain Sight is a quiet examination of how harm becomes ordinary inside systems that present themselves as lawful, professional, and necessary. Rather than arguing by comparison or ideology, the book traces recurring patterns: how legality replaces moral judgment, how bureaucracy diffuses responsibility, how language creates distance, and how trust erodes when explanation arrives faster than grief. Moving carefully through history, contemporary case studies, and moral reflection, it asks not who is to blame, but what happens to conscience when power is insulated from consequence.

The story of Donald Trump’s rise to power is the story of a buried American history - buried because people in power liked it that way. It was visible without being seen, influential without being named, ubiquitous without being overt. Sarah Kendzior’s Hiding in Plain Sight pulls back the veil on a history spanning decades, a history of an American autocrat in the making. In doing so, she reveals how our continual loss of freedom, the rise of consolidated corruption, and the secrets behind a burgeoning autocratic United States have been hiding in plain sight for decades.

From the bestselling author of Saving Capitalism and The Common Good, comes an urgent analysis of how the "rigged" systems of American politics and power operate, how this status quo came to be, and how average citizens can enact change. There is a mounting sense that our political-economic...

Der Suizid des Risikokapitalisten Bill Broeksmit gibt bis heute Rätsel auf. Warum erhängte sich der Topmanager der Deutschen Bank Anfang 2014? War er ein Mann, der zu viel wusste? Der preisgekrönte Finanzjournalist David Enrich begibt sich auf die Suche nach Antworten und zeichnet dabei schonungslos die Spur der Verwüstung nach, die die Bank während ihres 150-jährigen Bestehens hinterlassen hat: von ihrer Rolle im Dritten Reich, Marktmanipulationen, Insidergeschäften über ihre Beziehung zu Jeffrey Epstein und russischen Oligarchen bis hin zu mehr als zweifelhaften Krediten für Donald Trump und anderen unglaublichen Machenschaften.

The science is overwhelming; the facts are in. The planet is heating up at an alarming rate and the results are everywhere to be seen. Yet, as time runs out, climate progress is blocked by the men who are profiting from the burning of the planet: energy moguls like the Koch brothers and Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson. Powerful politicians like Senators Mitch McConnell and Jim Inhofe, who receive massive contributions from the oil and coal industries. Most of these men are too intelligent to truly believe that climate change is not a growing crisis.

Whistleblowers pay with their lives to save ours. When insiders like former NSA analyst Edward Snowden, ex-FBI agent Coleen Rowley, or Big Tobacco truth-teller Jeffrey Wigand blow the whistle on high-level lying, lawbreaking or other wrongdoing - whether it's government spying, corporate murder, or scientific scandal - the public benefits enormously. Wars are ended, deadly products are taken off the market, white-collar criminals are sent to jail. The whistleblowers themselves, however, generally end up ruined.

In late 2022, the Twitter Files began to reveal an extensive network involving government, NGOs, think tanks, academic departments, foundations, Big Tech, and more collaborating to suppress free speech on the internet. That network came to be known as the Censorship-Industrial Complex. From Covid-19 to Russia and the 2016 elections to the Hunter Biden laptop and beyond, the terms “misinformation,” “disinformation,” and “malinformation” have flooded the public sphere and been weaponized to justify speech controls and censorship.

As Prime Minister for three years and Home Secretary for six years, Theresa May confronted a series of issues in which the abuse of power led to devastating results for individuals and significantly damaged the reputation of, and trust in, public institutions and politicians. From the Hillsborough and Grenfell tragedies, to the Daniel Morgan case and parliamentary scandals, the powerful repeatedly chose to use their power not in the interests of the powerless but to serve themselves or to protect the organisation to which they belonged.
