5. Frank:Der Staatsverrat
Nothing exposes the charge of exaggeration more than the portrayal of the naked truth. (Joseph Conrad)
The audacity with which reality is currently being distorted dominates all essential areas of our lives: health, economy, culture, education, science, and the rule of law. It is directed against Western principles and values and plays into the hands of a global investor-planned economy complete with a totalitarian apparatus of oppression. This societal megatrend first revealed its full destructive potential during the Corona crisis. However, its roots go deep into the 1960s. The authors outline the background and methodology, the masterminds and beneficiaries, and show how frighteningly close we already stand to an authoritarian superstate. We are experiencing nothing less than a betrayal of our free democratic constitutional state!.
6. Markl:Der andere Krieg.
"Markl: The Other War" offers an in-depth analysis of the complex geopolitical situation that Israel faces following the Hamas massacre on October 7, 2023. This non-fiction work not only examines the military conflict but also the accompanying, often overlooked struggle for international perception of Israel. Author Florian Markl discusses how Israel is delegitimized as a pariah state by various actors, including the United Nations and human rights organizations. The book demonstrates how international law is selectively applied and distorted to hold Israel accountable for alleged crimes. Markl argues that the tactics of Hamas, including the use of civilians as human shields, are largely ignored in public discourse. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the current political and social dynamics in the Middle East.
