Pages : 276
Book Description
This is a true story of how a man and wife; the co-authors of this amazing experience; who gave so much to their respective countries; sacrificed, struggled and suffered through the horrors of extreme political persecution. It is also about their flight to survive, to save their own lives after the savage U.S. Military Invasion of the Republic of Panama in December 1989; and other events, such as the Sandinista-Contra-U.S. inspired war in Central America. In the process it will bring out the occurrence of numerous acts of deceitful cover ups, lies, dishonesty, and diverse illegal conduct by those who preached the Rule of Law. This account will link together many of the not so legal or moral activities of the Washington right wing establishment, during the decade of the 1980s; their improper foreign policy in promoting illegal wars in Latin America; while at the same time having relations with terrorist regimes; and drug dealers, in other areas of the world. In the process it will bring to the surface the extremes to which some power groups will resort to; in order to reach their political, personal and economic objectives; along with their avarice, greed, and self indulgence. It will lead you to an understanding of the origins and illicit justification of some of the major cover ups of recent times. It will show, in the process, how American politicians and their Judicial System fell right into the muck and sewage, along with their self serving interests. It is a chilling account of vengeance, pursuit, endurance, injustice, faith, mental torture; and physical danger of two people, along with their unyielding commitment to survive. All against the perils of clandestine capture, illegal extradition; the tropical jungles, judicial persecution, envy and retribution, defamation, illicit prosecution, confiscation of assets; and an International Police hunt in the course of extremely inhospitable terrain; through guerrilla cells of insurgency and a journey across different countries. PAGE 2 BOOK DESCRIPTION CHISM BOOK ID 57251 This will exhibit a perfect example of the perverse U.S. Consular Visa revocation process against one of Americas most committed supporters; in a dreadful showing of the astonishing improprieties and failures in the application of U.S. Diplomacy. Events in this version will give enormous insight into the progression of the Panama Canal Treaty, mandated transfer of all U.S. Panama Canal and military assets, to the Republic of Panama. None of which would occur without a complex, extreme, painful and deadly changeover process. It is also a story, never before told, of the monstrous effort, carried out to safeguard the operational integrity of the most important waterway in the world in favor of world shipping and commerce. This all made possible by the resolve, loyalty, commitment and strength of the protagonists who carried the weight of the responsibilities, necessary for this to be so; even during a time when the Winds of War of the United States of America; blew incessantly stronger toward the shores of the Republic of Panama. In the course of it all, the devastating effects of the application of the Law de Jante will become clear to all. Many lessons have surely been learned from these torturous events. The problem is that human minds are generally quick to forget whatever they dont wish to remember Better by far you should forget and smile / Than that you should remember and Be sad. Christina Rossetti, Remember (1862)

Global Study on Smuggling of Migrants 2018
Author: United Nations
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789211303506
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
This study shows that migrant smuggling routes affect every part of the world. It is based on an extensive review of existing data and literature. The study presents detailed information about key smuggling routes, such as the magnitude, the profiles of smugglers and smuggled migrants, the modus operandi of smugglers and the risks that smuggled migrants face. It shows that smugglers use land, air and sea routes - and combinations of those - in their quest to profit from people's desire to improve their lives. Smugglers also expose migrants to a range of risks; violence, theft, exploitation, sexual violence, kidnapping and even death along many routes.

Violence, Conflict and Discourse in Mexican Cinema (2002-2015)
Author: Miriam Haddu
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 1137282118
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
The last two decades have seen dramatic changes to Mexico’s socio-political landscape. A former president fleeing into exile, political assassinations, a rebellion in Chiapas, and the eruption of the so-called war on drugs provide key examples of critical events shaping the nation. This book examines Mexican cinema’s representations of, and responses to, these socio-political moments. Beginning with the definitive year 1994, which saw the Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (EZLN) declare war on the Mexican government, the early chapters in this book discuss the outcome of these episodes in subsequent years and how they find screen representation. The study then moves on to provide close readings of key filmic texts as reflections of the so-called narco-war and its effects on Mexican society. Focusing on both fiction and documentary filmmaking, this book explores notions of violence, victimhood, and the complex processing of grief in the context of enforced disappearances and the narco-conflict. In addition to examining films made in Mexico, this investigation incorporates the work of three of the nation’s most celebrated transnational directors: Guillermo del Toro, Alejandro González Iñárritu and Alfonso Cuarón. By examining their work on European soil as a comparative exercise, the analyses offer an understanding of the imprints left by warfare and trauma upon the collective and individual psyche, seen from a universal viewpoint. Using rigorous theoretical frameworks and succinct filmic analyses, this book will be essential reading for those interested in Mexican and Latin American film, as well as those working in the fields of Cultural, Screen, and Trauma Studies.

Ripper
Author: Isabel Allende
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0063049732
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 488
Book Description
From the NEW YORK TIMES Bestselling author, a gripping murder mystery about a serial killer on the loose in San Francisco. Indiana Jackson is 33 years old and works in an alternative medicine clinic in San Francisco that attracts all sorts of characters, some of them skeptics, who fall for her candor and humility. Her teenage daughter, Amanda likes noir literature and hopes to attend MIT, where she will be with Bradley, an old friend that she plans to marry, with or without his consent. In her free time, she plays Ripper, an online role playing game that involves solving real-life mysteries and crimes using information collected by Amanda’s father, the Chief Inspector of the San Francisco police. Amanda plays the game via Skype with adolescents from all over the world and with her best friend, her grandfather Blake. Each player in the game has a virtual personality: Amanda is the game master, and Blake is her henchman; the others are Sherlock Holmes, Colonel Paddington, Esmeralda, and the psychic Abatha. When Ripper’s latest murder mystery-”the case of the misplaced bat”-begins to touch their real-world lives, Amanda and her friends know they must solve the case and find the murderer before he can strike again. RIPPER is a true thriller, with the twists, surprises, well-placed clues, and revelations that lead to a climatic finale. A rich and generous novel, filled with humor but increasingly dark, it’s a fast-paced read that grabs you right from the start and keeps you glued to the page.
